Hi...
So as of last night my phone doesn't have sound. I've been flashing roms/gapps all day yesterday and today I figured I'd settle on a rom for now given that my model is sparse for roms that actually work.
Having no sound started with putting LineageOS 15.1 on my phone (Oreo) which was working previously so I don't know what happened, so I tried to flash LineageOS 14 / CM 14 (individually) on my phone and LineageOS worked but without audio and I believe CM 14 either kept crashing and/or also had no audio. I then flashed Resurrection Remix Oreo for my phone as I remember in the past the audio worked fine, again it doesn't.
Before the events above, like I said, I had been flashing numerous roms on my phone, lots of the roms either worked for a few minutes and while updating Google Play they would crash or the rom would be stuck at its boot screen.
I've also been flashing a modem on my phone, through Odin, because some Kitkat and Lollipop roms I got didn't have working WIFI. I noticed with that, that the roms would work for a few minutes then crash (maybe because I was trying to use a 5Ghz network?)
I was also trying to flash custom kernels and even though they would say they flashed successfully I'd be stuck at the boot screen that said "Samsung Galaxy Note 3" with it also saying the Kernel or Recovery isn't SEandroid Enforcing.
(I've also been switching between TWRP 3.2.1.1 and 2.8.7.0 because roms with "Aroma installer" would crash TWRP 3.2.1.1)
I'm quite the novice at all this, and maybe it shows? I'd just like my audio back and it's quite evident that flashing roms isn't the solution I had hoped it to be.
Flash the latest stock ROM for your phone to see if everything goes back to normal.
I'm not sure what the latest stock rom would be. My phone originally had lollipop on it which had samsung's touchwiz.
sammobile or updato.com for firmwares .
Okay, thank you. I'm downloading one now. Does choosing the correct carrier matter? I ask because I'm not sure who the original carrier is and the phone is also unlocked and since it is, I would think that choosing a specific carrier doesn't matter.
I flashed the original firmware and got sound on my phone again, and just now as I type, I got finished re-rooting and putting TWRP on my phone and flashed RR Oreo and I have sound.
This is all so very interesting and I can't help but wonder why I lost sound to begin with. Any thoughts?
Bad download or flash or wrong file for model are usual whys.
Oh, I see.
Well, my model is a sm-n900w8 and when searching for roms specific to that one, I've encountered some people saying, on this very site, that the sm-n900w8 is a Canadian model and it isn't widely supported, but went further to speculate that roms that work with the sm-n9005 should work with the sm-n900w8. I even found a forum post about a kernel that helps give compatibility for n9005 roms to n900w8 roms. I'm not sure if "compatibility," is the right word to use, but I hope you get what I mean.
Personally, every time I go to flash a rom, TWRP says it is successful but when I actually reboot my phone it gets stuck on the logo screen, usually with the text "Kernel is not SEandroid Enforcing" and I've even had similar text with 'recovery' instead of 'kernel' pop up.

So I ended up working out how to get a CM11 hltespr nighty running on the n9005 via TWRP via Odin.
Problem is i doesnt really connect to the carrier network, just momentarily then drops out for some time. Tried right in town, gets full signal for like 1 sec, then no carrier for a bit, then repeats.
Have tried with correct carrier settings, any suggestions ?
what it ended up being was the wrong rom. in my confusion from TWRP not installing the hlte rom recommended cyanogen mod becasue it said it was a hltespr, i installed the hltespr nightly which seemed to work apart from this. but then i read this "Previously, Note 3 (qualcomm devices) builds were separate, but now they are unified. So, hltespr, hltetmo, hltevzw, htlexx are now all in one build: hlte." http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2616162
And it got me thinking maybe i needed to try hlte again, but use this trick here so TWRP would let me install it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49570736&postcount=9
Hello! Recently T-Mobile launched MM 6.0.1 for the Galaxy Note 4. I was originally running CM Remix, that was meant for the international version of this device, and all but sim card did not work, (I don't have this device activated, I just use it on the side). When I got bored of the CM Remix I just went to Samsung Kies, and restored the phone to its factory default. When I finished setting up the phone I was pleased to find that I was running 6.0.1, as opposed to 5.1.1. All good? No! I have used Odin to put on the latest version of TWRP recovery, and i flashed v2.76 of SuperSU. All works well in terms of rooting and flashing files, but here is my big issue. NO MATTER WHAT rom that I flash on this damn phone, wifi doesnt work, nor do the service bars show I have signal. I have flashed 6 different roms, and all of them have to same issue, stock 4.4.4, 5.0, 5.11 CM 12,12.1 13, Ressurection Remix. The only thing holding me together is my TWRP nandroid backup that i revert to after every rom I flash. In settings, my phone just says "Turning wifi on" and it stays there. SO WHAT THE @#$% IS GOING ON? Is this something T-MObile implemented when it did the update on my N4, I restored to 5.1.1 with kies all the time before this and after each time, i flashed roms with no issue. Can someone please point me in the right direction here, am I doing something wrong? Is something patched that wasn't previously? WHAT CAN IT BE?
Hello all,
I recently discovered that my S5 was only running KitKat despite Marshmallow having been released for it. I checked for OTA updates and it found nothing, so I decided to flash a custom 6.0 ROM onto it (and for some reason I ended up deciding not to make a backup of the phone beforehand, the ultimate mistake).
The problem became that it didn't recognize Tracfone for my service provider and wouldn't connect to the mobile network. I then downgraded it to a 5.0 ROM, and it no longer even recognized the SIM card, saying there was none.
So I tried to flash the original stock ROM a few times, but every time either got errors from ODIN, the phone itself, or the TWRP bootloader.
Long story short, I seem to have screwed up multiple times trying to install a ROM to get around KitKat and now my phone appears to be softbricked. I can get into the TWRP menu and the "download" mode, but when trying to start the phone, it sits on the "Samsung Galaxy S5" screen with the "Set Warrenty Bit : kernel" text at the top left.
I'm just wondering if there's a way to fix it at this point, or if I've completely trashed the phone.
If anybody has suggestions or experience with this, all help is welcome!
Thanks!

Are you sure you have the stock firmware for the 902l and not the 903vl? The reason you didn't get the update for 6.0 is you have the 902l model. If you had the 903vl model you'd have 6.0. Straight talk never released it for the 902l model. No idea why being both models are very similar. Im not sure but if you make it back to stock on kitkat. I think you can use safestrap from the Verizon s5 to use some custom roms that run kitkat. If your bootloader is in fact unlocked and you can install a custom recovery other then safestrap. I believe you can install pretty much anything but I'm pretty sure straight talk ships the phones with the Toshiba chip so the bootloader isn't unlockable
I'm trying to flash roms on my N9005 but I'm not able to succeed.
I tried first flashing the Fougat rom, I got stuck at Galaxy note 3 bootloop
I tried the Lineage 15 rom. It required TWRP v3.2.1, tried flashing it, but it didn't load
Tried flashing MagMa NXTeam's rom, same with fougat.
Im sure %100 I followed devs steps to flash but nothing is working for me!
Help devs, please!!
Did you confirm the model # in download mode?
Did you try flashing other ROMs that work with an older version of TWRP?
The phone is running the latest bootloader and modem?
1 Its not a N9005 or a fake .
2 User flashing stuff not for a N9005 .
3 Possible damage to a partition .
Judged by previous multiple users posts its likely partition damage .

same for me since i change complete screen LCD+tactil.
Original rom work great but no custom rom. I bought complete screen on china ebay store.
Is screen version is really same that mine ? how to verify ?
I've read through a couple of your posts you've made on several ROMs and even TWRP, it sounds like you are flashing the wrong version for your phone. In several instances you've asked whether to install hlte, in the TWRP thread it seems like you're just letting the phone reboot (which re-installs stock recovery). You might either want to research more into what you are doing before you brick/damage your phone or leave your phone on stock.
I've got a Tracfone Galaxy S5 SM-S902L that I previously had Lineageos 15.1 up and running on, but it had the issue with some bluetooth devices that I understand is an issue with Lineageos 15.1. We were going to give the phone to our son, but I wanted to "roll it back" to Lineageos 14.1, which doesn't appear to have that issue.
I have flashed a couple of different ROMs (Resurrection Remix, and the afforementioned Lineageos 14.1) being the main ones tried, with a foray back to 15.1, but the phone is stuck on the boot-up animation and never gets past that, no matter which one I try. I've done the standard wipe, flash the ROM, flash GAPPS, flash SuperSU routine, and still no luck.
One gotcha I need to make clear is that the SD card slot on this phone is inoperable for some reason (gifted to us phone). So, I didn't have the storage space (via a MicroSD card) to run a Nandroid backup like I have run on my Galaxy Note 3.
In the process of trying to flash the different ROMs, the last time I tried, I apparently did what I later saw described as a "super wipe", and I think I've wiped the firmware from the phone.
In an attempt to roll back to the stock ROM, I have gone to sammobile.com and looked up the SM-S902L. Go through the process of getting the download link. Click on the download link (after the 30 second advertisement delay), and get the dreaded "404 we can't find it" error message.
So, does anyone have a link to the stock Tracfone firmware and/or ROM for the SM-S902L, or a link to a Verizon-model ROM and firmware that from what I've read will work with this particular model? If you do, I would be very appreciative. If you can even tell me which Verizon model I would need to look for, I would be grateful.
