See for Italy I found this:
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s--neo/GT-I9301I/ITV/download/I9301IXCUAPH1/94320/
Product code:ITV
PDA:I9301IXCUAPH1
CSC:I9301IITVAOL1
This is for Sony Sensors
Here is another one for Italy:
https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=4AE87DBE1EF311E6949E0CC47A44B7B2
Obviously it is for Samsung sensors because of NI/NJ.
Donyou have Sony or Samsung?
If you have a working stock with Modem. You can make a Backup only of the modem and flash it over working camera stock (I think that must work).

First of all relax.
I would try the updato link. Flash the firmware.
1. Check if provider service works.
If it works then
2. Check if your camera works.
If yes modem and camera works it is a good stock for you.
Maybe you can try and post the results. Don't worry. There are lots of people who want to help.

I would make a clean flash.

News:
I've flashed all two firmwares, but no one show me benefits, i have another s3 neo motherboard with charger defect (all chargers make the phone lag and reboot sometimes) and all firmwares work well with reception.
I've followed these steps:
1) boot intwrp and wipe all
2) boot in download
3) flash (I9301IXXUANI1_I9301IITVANJ1_I9301IXXUANI2_HOME.tar.md5)
4) reboot
5) same very bad signal
other firmware:
1) boot in stock recovery and wipe
2) boot in download mode
3) flash (I9301IXCUAPH1_I9301IITVAOL1_I9301IXXUAPG1_HOME.tar.md5)
4) reboot
5) same very bad singal
I'm starting to think that this could be an hardware problem
Edit:
checked if my imei was bad for some reason, but is clean.

If you are rooted use Triangle Away to reset the flash counter and after that go straight to download mode and flash a stock rom with Odin. After the flash do a data factory reset and you have the phone as you initialy got it

How to use Odin see this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1372414.
Samsung oficial firmware see www.sammobile.com/firmware, you have to register first before you can download!
After this you are full stock if you flash the rom of your country/region and you will receive all OTA`s again.

Have you got the correct drivers installed by Kies? Tried another usb port (no hub)? Are you using the original usb cable?

Its not as hard as it seems to use Odin:
1. Close Kies, also in windows task manager!
2. Enable usb debugging on the phone.
3. Open Odin 3.04 as administrator
4. Place the downloaded rom that is unzipped ONCE and shows a .md5 file in PDA
5. Phone in downloadmode (after you used to reset the flash counter with Triangle Away)
6. Connect the phone with usb to Odin (IDCOM should light up and show a com number)
7. Press start and flash the rom.
Reboot and data factory reset in settings/accounts/reset
Done
Best answer.. easy to understand.. thanksss

BTW sir,.. i cant find any model of Samsung galaxy s4 GTi9505
can u help me to find th original firmwares?
You can try this rom with odin
http://samsung-updates.com/details/12205/Galaxy_S_4_Snapdragon/GT-I9505/XEF/I9505XXUBMGA.html
it's the last official rom from France. the only issue if it's not the right region code for your country is to had just issue with carrier network
why i choose the link from france ? cauz no specific region code for turkey and france is close to france (in geographical situation).
but if you remind the region code of your first stock rom i can try to find a link for the it
this is the easiest way to unroot and go back to stock and official galaxy s4 with TW.

[Q] Problem with samsung KIES and HUB

Hi, I bought my Galaxy S4 9505 about a month ago, everything was great, I later decided to flash a custom ROM.
Something went wrong and i soft bricked my device, I was able to flash the stock ROM later and fix it.
however, I recently found out the after flashing the stock ROM, samsung KIES no longer recognizes my device.
I have installed the device's drivers, and KIES have identified it before I flashed it.
In addition, whenever I try to use samsung HUB, the app crashes immideatly giving an error message: "Mandatory Parameter Not Found (1101)"
Searching for the error, only one result came up where someone flashed his ROM using mobile odin, and it got fixed by reflashing with odin for windows.
Unfortunatly, this is not the case, I originally flashed it with windows odin, and even tried to flash it again, but still the same result.
If anyone can help me that would be great.
Thank you

I live in Israel and bought the phone in israel.
I looked in samfirmware (dot) com
and it seems like there isn't really an Israel firmware, it also says the one I have is of Ireland's
I can guarentee that I9505XXUAMDI was the firmware installed before and after the flashing

Aah i see, you probably don`t have the correct software from the country/region where the phone originated from. You have to find the country where the phone was initialy sold. Look here and typein your imei number http://sndeep.info/en.

Contacting the reseller about it will probably lead to voiding my warranty if I explain why I need to know, or refusing to answer if I don't explain why.
I can try to check out the firmware of some other S4 I9505 of people I know in Israel, hoping it will lead to something.
I still find it very hard to believe that even if the reseller told me where the phone was originally sold, it would turn out to be something different than Ireland.
I can guarentee that I9505XXUAMDI was the version I had before flashing, and I don't see how it could be unless it originated there.
OK, luckily, I still had a CWM recovery from before flashing the new firmware, i restored the backup, and now I know my CSC, my KIES work and samsung HUB as well.
However I now have CWM, and I wish to remove it, from what I know, only by flashing the stock firmware I will be able to remove CWM.
If I flash the firmware I thought was the correct one, I will return to the point where KIES isn't working for me again.
with this info:
PDA: I9505XXUAMDI
CSC: I9505TSIAMD8
which firmware should I flash?

SM-N9005 no sound device

Hi everybody, I have a problem with my galaxy note 3.
I'm using Omega Droid (newest version).
Yesterday I would use my note 3 and after unlock the system process force closed.
The device is very very slow and no sound plays anymore.
I flashed then the official rom.
Same thing no sound...
Everytime I use sound eg. Music, ringtone or so the system crash with a force close.
I rooted the device and take a logcat.
It seems that the audio hardware is broken.
Can anyone help or should I contact the service center?

Obviously contact a service centre.
If flashing cutom rom and kernel didn't fix it, it's probably hardware.
OK I send it in to the service center.
No repair because root...
(Knox 0 x1)
What can I do?
I have flashed 10 roms and 5 kernels... Problem exists everytime.
No sound, force closes, system hangs on volume control.
Please help me

I had the same problem with a Galaxy Express after flashing a ROM from a different Region (no sound, force closes, very laggy device). Solution : Flash the stock firmware (the one that your phone came with) from your region. Don't try another region or another ROM, try the stock one from your region. Right after every flash you have to go to Recovery and Wipe Data & Wipe Cache, if you don't do this you will still face the same problem.

I have flashed N9005XXUDMJ7 it's a DBT ROM. I'm from Germany.
The smartphone is from eplus (base).
I have searched on sammobile. But no eplus ROM for my device.
With the N9005XXUDMJ7 ROM problem exist too...
I think that the hardware is broken.
My camera force closed too.
When I check my camera firmware it says no camera device found...
I think it's a case for the repair service for e. g. 100 euro or so on...

Samsung Galaxy S3 Neo - camera server error

Hi,
I will say this because i think it matters a lot: first camera problems where after installing new roms like CM 12.1 but there was a nice cam fix so it was good. Yesterday i decided to put a new kernel and I bassicaly screwed everything up. My device didnt boot, I got a black screen after boot logo, so I decided to performa a wipe, and accidentaly wiped every f***ng particion, including system. I thoug to my self "Oh thank God i still have my TWRP recovery", but it was even worse. TWRP couldn't flash any roms ( I still had a CM rom on my sd card) the recovery would just blink and reboot again to it, I was done there completely. Read some forums, after that downloaded a rom for my phone from sammobile. Everything works exept rear camera. I checked that by code *#0*#. I installed different stock roms with different PDA's. I'm guessing that that is a issue that persists from a custom rom? Please help brothers. :highfive:
Why dont you flash a recovery and flash again cm with the camera fix?
Cm cam fix won't work
Flash Germany latest firmware, my device faced that too, but after i flashed dbt firmware, everything seems good ?

In that case SM-N900S
I recommend flashing the latest stock ROM for the sm-n900s with Odin.
The printed model # sm-n9005 is on the label under the battery?

https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-note3/SM-N900S/
and only one works on it ..which is the one on the phone right now and it keeps rebooting .. i would like any nougat installed on this now.
Thanx
If the label under the battery says sm-n9005 and download mode says sm-n900s, it appears that you have a "frankenphone" whereby the phone is put together with different parts from different models of the Note 3.
Is this the ROM you tried to flash: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-note3/SM-N900S/SKT/download/N900SKSU0GPI1/98062/ ?
Did you perform a factory reset after flashing the phone but before booting the phone for the first time?

Read and learn is next .
If everything works on a stock ROM, you try flashing TWRP using Odin. This will allow you to backup the existing ROM and flash a custom ROM.
