Is it safe to flash firmwere from Sammobile? - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sorry for noob question .
I rooted my phone earlier this year and haven't gotten OTA updates since .
I would like to bring it to latest version but I am afraid to brick it .
I found this Summobile website . Did anyone used it recently ? Is it safe to do the instructions there ?
Also are there any other steps needed like wiping phone etc ?

I've used them for manually installing OSes onto my Samsung Devices, without any problems at all.

Great !
I just have a little more questions:
Do I have to wipe phone before / after ?
What do I do if I get an error ?

To your first question:
You don't have to wipe your phone - your local data like pictures, music and so on will stay on the device, only your apps will get deleted while flashing.
To your second question:
What kind of errors your do mean? Flashing errors?

I did it .
Everything went OK .
Didn't lose a single thing . Even my apps were intact.

[Q] Soft brick :(

By mistake I uploaded Odin Asian ROM, which reportedly has a different structure in the flash memory of the phone.
When returning to the European ROM device has bootloop but or system boots with errors (eg no modem).
I understand that now I need a multifile rom to restore right structure on Flash. Am I right?
The only question is where these files to take?
Thanks for your help.
You could try to restore Your Whole OS, and all the partitions and stuff with this: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=31790
I have flashed that like a week ago on my Note 3, and it seems to work really nicely.
I tried to do this - without results.

try do this install again one asian firmware remember what you installed first and try upgrade with the area from there . don't change any bootloader but , after ODIN reset do a fast up volume plus home plus power and you should have back everything but (choose english ) that is the only prb.
Today I made what you are writing above.
This is a only solution I think. Next I need to wait for EU ROM with my language.
Thanks for your support.

If it is still under warranty go to a Samsung service center and act dumb. Tell them something like "I was listening to music and it did that"
Its your last resort

you can't use download mode but you can still enter recovery? that's pretty weird... are you sure you're trying correctly? are the drivers properly installed and stuff? if it still doesn't work, then go to this section of the forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9500-develop there you will find plenty of roms you can flash with CWM recovery

Hi mate,
Lets go step by step.....
If you can get into recovery you can get into download...
1. Press and hold Volume Down, Home and Power buttons at the same time.
2. Release the buttons when you get the warning message.
3. Now press Volume Up button to confirm.
after you are in download mode lets flash a stock rom back in you can follow this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477
or go to sammobile and get the latest one from your country
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
same one you had or newer ,
Another option would be ....
Take external sd out of your phone and use any posible adapter or device so you can use you pc to place a custom rom in....now place it back in your phone and from cwm instal the custom rom...
Stop panicing. This is basic rom flashing.
Just flash a custom rom from within cwm.

It is better to go to Samsung he might get a new s4

[Q] Can't get the phone to work normally again

Hi,
I've owned all the Galaxies and never had any problems installing ROMs.
Ten days ago I bought an unlocked new GT-I9500 in USA. It's not a knockoff, I've checked the IMEI and I know the device (I've had one for a year back in 2013), there is no chance this phone is not legit (even though it's made in China).
I brought the phone to Argentina, where I live.
When I first turned it on I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, so I assume it worked fine. The thing is I didn't get to test it thoroughly at that moment because I installed a 5.0.1 stock ROM right away (I think the phone came with 4.4.2).
This 5.0.1 ROM worked horribly, all apps were force closing all over the place (even unopened apps), without me doing anything, I would be just watching the screen and the FC dialogs would just pile up. The phone was unusable because you needed to dismiss several FC dialogs before you could get to the screen below, and by then you got a new FC coming up.
Many times when I rebooted, it would say it was optimizing 3 or 4 apps, and then it would work a bit better, or maybe a bit worse, it was a totally random thing. It also rebooted spontaneously, Play Store would close spontaneously, many apps refused to update giving error codes like "unknown error 960" or something like that.
Things I already tried:
-Reinstalled same ROM 5.0.1 I9500UBUHOE2_I9500UUBHOE2_I9500UBUHOE1_HOME.tar
-Installed different ROM 5.0.1 I9500UBUHOE3_I9500ZTOHOF1_I9500UBUHOE1_HOME.tar
-Did all wipes, before and after
-Reinstalled with PIT and re-partition
-Installed Philz and tried "clean to install a new ROM"
-Reinstalled 5.0.1 ROM
-Again tried "clean to install a new ROM"
-Reinstalled 4.4.2 I9500UBUGNJ1_I9500UUBGNJ1_I9500UBUGNJ1_HOME.tar, which is the version I think the phone originally had installed.
-Of course, in the meantime I lost the IMEI and had to restore it from backup.
After downgrading to 4.4.2 the situation got a little better, but I still get several FCs and spontaneous reboots. On one opportunity I booted into recovery, wiped cache, and when I rebooted it got stuck in the boot logo. I removed the battery, turned it on and it did the same thing. I had to boot into recovery and wipe data/factory reset to get it to boot.
I have two theories:
1) There are some residual files or settings from previous ROMs that I can't seem to get erased, and these are interfering with the new ROMs I install.
2) The phone is defective (memory issue, perhaps?)
Theory 2) seems odd because before installing 5.0.1 for the first time, the phone appeared to work correctly. Granted, I just tried it for a minute or so, but anyway.
Theory 1) seems odd because I did all the wipes, the "clean to install a new ROM" thing, and even re-partition. Can any problematic data survive after all that?
I guess the questions for you guys are:
1) Did this happen to anyone else? Could you solve the problem?
2) Is there a way to erase the phone more deeply?
Thank you.
Ricardo
The PIT file should repartition the phone, meaning it should also wipe it.
Are you sure it is a GT-I9500?
People tend to repair phones with compatible parts from other phones. In this case maybe they used parts from other S4 models (9505, 9506 etc).
Boot into download mode and check the phone model.

The phone is brand new, and I've checked all known signs of it possibly being fake. I'm pretty sure it's not fake.
See attached image.
Sound like your storage is corrupted.
If you are out of options then you can try to select nand erase all in Odin. Maybe that could fix it. Make sure to add a .pit file, bootloader, modem, rom and check re-partition before doing that.

I believe there's no "brand new" S4 in the market right now.
I haven't used philz but twrp .. and if you also install twrp recovery for i9500 ..then you get option for advance wipe .. check everything in advance wipe ( don't forget to take backups .. contacts ..files etc) then swipe to wipe everything .. then go back to main menu and reboot in download mode .. (you may get warning like no OS installed) then install a new ROM via Odin from PC .. you will get a fresh installed ROM
If you still face any FC .. go back to recovery mode .. choose advance then do fix permission .. hope that helps ..

I've been reading about nand erase. It looks like I just need the ROM and the pit file. Maybe the ROM includes everything else you mention?

The Samsung official Roms have all integrated, SO, booloader, modem, etc. What lacks is the pit file, you have to get it from other place. I have an I9500 and had those issues when installing 5.0.1 official rom, i believe is not a very stable rom and also drains a LOT of battery. If you can install a custom recovery, try the "[GearCM][i9500][5.1.x] Optimized CyanogenMod 12.1 for Samsung Galaxy S4" rom, the post is in this forum , I'm currently using it and works awesome.
Ok guys, so I tried nand erase and the results are the same. Used both a 5.0.1 and a 4.4.2 ROM. Could this be a memory hardware error? Is there anything more radical that is left for me to try?

You can try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-orig-develop/mod-multirom-v28-t2864469
Then you can boot a rom from your sd card. See if that works ok.
Will try that.
In the meantime, quick question: I've noticed that after nand erase the IMEI is retained. This would mean that nand erase does not erase everything really. Isn't it possible that some information is preserved (like the IMEI), and this is what is causing trouble?

No, I checked it and it's less advanced. For example you can't boot from sd card.

Ok, tried CM12.1 and it has exactly the same problems.
I think it's time to change the memory chip or the motherboard, right?

How to downgrade firmware on Zenfone 2 Laser?

Hi, I am not happy with the latest update (V1.15.40.639) and would like to downgrade to the previous one (V1.13.40.496). I read on zentalk forum that we can downgrade by downloading the latter firmware from asus site(http://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone-2-Laser-ZE550KL/HelpDesk_Download/) and place it on SD card root. The reboot to the recovery and select something like "apply update from external". Can someone confirm if this will work? Is there an easy enough and confirmed way to downgrade the firmware. Any help will be much appreciated.
Edit: The method works!
Haven't done that but it should work, if you face any app crashes you will need to reset phone
Pls don't downgrade it will kill ur phone

Like I said the you'd face app crashes which you can fix by resetting phone.
If you are not comfortable to do this then simply go to service center and tell them you want certain update flashed for whatever reason.

Did you actually go into recovery and flash the previous firmware or just let the phone detect the firmware and install it by itself?

I placed the update on sd card. Booted to recovery. cleared data and cache and applied the update via SD Card method. The cleared cache once more and rebooted.Voila!
This method is going to wipe all user data???
Probably a reboot would do the same result.
I have, like many others, the latest firmware and I didn't encounter no problems. So definitely is not the firmware itself.

LOL. That's one question I never ask. It's always a good idea to do a backup before any update, especially if it's a full firmware flash and not an OTA update.
No. I only wiped cache and it seems to have kept the data intact at the time. I had a backup for safety's sake but I did not need to restore it.

Well let's try two things
If your data is important to you try to install custom ROM via TWRP
And if not try to reset factory from TWRP
I don't think that you BRICKED! your phone
It only causes from flashing wrong model firmware
And I think the best way is install custom ROM(do a full wipe)(see completely clear tutorial videos to install it right)and after system booted you can install stock ROM again
---------- Post added at 05:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 AM ----------
If all the things go wrong
At if your completely know that you BRICKED it(that I don't think) you can easily request debrick.img and install it from SD card
So be relax dude
It would be great experience for you to save your phone

I assume that you must have installed magisk module like app systemizer or any other like that to convert system app?
Just have to uninstall certain module from twrp using twrp file manager. Reboot it will boot.
OR
You can use read my thread in guide section " upgrade downgrade without losing data" i mentioned in detail and also some links to ready magisk patched firmwares.
New Weird ****
So Thank you so much for replying, It gave me hope , I went to a Fixit guy, He I HAVE TOTALLY NO IDEA What he did,
Since i couldnt reach Download Mode, I got him to fix it, now ...
I am running my phone. Everything looks good, The warning of root at the start disappeared and the software starts normally.
There is 1 issue. I am still unable to run samsung secure folder (type apps , i think its because i did once root the phone), Secondly.
I updated my Phone to the new Andriod version and it bricked again ? (got restored by the same guy again), So like , can someone tell me what might be causing this ?
Should i Enable Debug, Go download mode and Reinstall the Original Firmware that I patched before with magisk? like (I compared the Baseband version and Build Version of the new installed software its not same as my original phone ? Maybe this is causing it not to software update? )
I dunno The Sideefffects of once rooting the phone? I mean can i ever get the old default non rooted phone back? I hope you someone understands what im trying to ask ? Like Should i Default firmware it ? or just keep using it ? will i gain something? like Will i be able to update the software?
(NOTE: I dont need root anymore . Im done with it.)

Once rooted, secure folder will not work anymore. If you are using Android 9 then use custom ROM because there is fixes there for Secure Folder. If on Android 10 then forget about it and wait until dev fix.
And for other questions, it sounds like you are newbie and didn't know anything about it until now. I would suggest to read some article here, explore about some magisk that what its, Bootloader ... how to unlock Bootloader etc. Trust me one day you will become dev. Good Luck
What i am asking is, I think something is wrong. I cant use Netflix , It was working before (when rooted), So i want to know, Should i Use ODIN to Put my Original (UNPATCHED) Firmware in this phone?
And If i do agree to proceed, (My Boot loader is unlocked permanently btw in developer options),
I just have to put it on download, connect pc open odin add the original files and run it ? and when start wipe data and cache. is that is ? Am i missing something can you please confirm sir? and these files only right?
"AP, BL, CP and CSC (I also have HOME file should i also attach that?)
Can you recommend me a tutorial to follow via odin, Restoring my Original Firmware back ? In s10+ please? Ill be grateful to you.
