Hi,
I own a GS4 - i9505G - with google ROM edition v 4.3.
yesterday I tried to upgrade the ROM to 4.42 (Google ROM clean version without any tweaks, found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2341026).
After the upgrade, the UI & ROM seem to work fine but I have no carrier signal.
When I perform the mobile networks operators' search I can see all networks and by clicking "Choose automatically" I managed to renew the signal. However, after a very short while the signal is lost again (manual joining to the network does not work at all).
I searched and found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192025
and this lead me to use ODIN and flash the modem (twice, as recomended).
I used the modem file exactly for my phone base version which is: XXUBMH1.
However, even after flashing twice - still no signal....
Since I had Nandroid backup (always VERY highly recommended) I returned to the original 4.3 ROM version and then everything worked fine.
I also made another try to identify the issue and installed the 4.42 Google ROM edition which is not the Google clean original version and performed a factory wipe and cleaning everything
(this time the ROM I used was downloaded from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2557353).
However, same story and no signal....
I would very much appreciate any idea how to solve this issue.
By the way - from December I began to receive a notification on the device that an upgrade ROM was downloaded requesting me to click to install. However, when I tried to operate it the process always failed in the first steps (don't remember the error code). If anyone can direct me where to delete the file that was downloaded - it will also be very helpful due to the low free memory on the device.
Thanks in advance for all the help!
I now that for some roms you need to use TWRP recovery, or you will get "no signal".
Try flashing the rom with TWRP recovery and see if that solves your problems.
thanks but no cure yet

Thanks for the advice!
However, it seems that the cure is elsewhere. I had the PhilZ 6, and now converted to TWRP, but issue stays the same.
It appears that the signal is not totally lost, but the network connection can only be maintained for a short while, and only after a reset and when choosing automatic network registration. Soon after the signal disappears.
All other wireless aspects (WIFI, BT) seem to be working fine like before.
I am still breaking my teeth for a solution here...
Thanks.
Why are you installing a rom for the i9505 on a i9505G?
That would probably explain your issues.
You say that your phone is I9505G, but both of those roms are for I9505. Don't ever do such thing. You're lucky you didn't brick your phone. Check your IMEI
thanks for the note

Indeed I didn't notice the difference and thank you for this very important note.
I would like to elaborate - my phone was bought as a standard i9505, but I installed a clean Google Edition ROM on it and then checked under "Settings"/"About phone" menu to see the Model number "GT-I9505G".
I am now not so sure that this is the true model of I9505G, even though this is the information shown on the phone. If the model relates only to original Google Rom Edition phones then I am wrong and probably confused you.
My IMEI is: 3576********. Can you help me with the true definition and the files that I need to install?

First of all know this: You should never reveal your IMEI, it's not safe. Edit your post and hide your Imei number.
Now check again if the Imei that you see inside settings> is the same as the one from the back of the phone, under the battery. If its the same then you are fine. As for the device model, you can also find the model under the battery, and if it says that it's a i9505G than that should clear all the confusion.
My advice would be go back to stock official using ODIN. Grab the latest firmware from sammobile. It's always the safest thing to do, and it should handle all the mess
its a I9505

Many thanks for your message - even though I feel stupid both for not thinking to check "under the hood" and also for publishing the IMEI (now fixed).
It appears that my phone model is I9505. This validates my initial question, how to update the Google Edition ROM (clean version) from 4.3 to 4.42, but avoid the loss of network signal... I will try to take it to a local store and solve my unknown issues with the upgrade by paying a few bucks.
Many thanks anyway!

My last guess is that you are using an incorrect modem. Are you still on the old bootloader?
If you are already on the new bootloader, just flash the latest modem available. If it is correct that you have XXUBMH1, then you are using a modem that is to old for 4.4.2.
this is very true

I think that this is the correct problem identification and that my modem file is not updated for 4.42.
I tried to flash the updated modem file for XXUBMH1 version (in this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192025), but this did not solve the problem (even after flashing it twice).
Could I flash a different modem file than the one set for the phone base version which I have (or do I risk bricking my device)? and does the base version change after installing the new ROM (I forgot to check this after the new ROM was installed)? If yes then I will re-install it and flash the new modem file which should solve the problem.
Thanks for helping out.
Which modem did you flash? And are you on the old or new bootloader?
First things first, I am not very techy and am only trying to accomplish one goal on my galaxy s5 - update to lollipop.
I'm trying to do it by going to Settings --> About device --> Software Update. Everytime I try it check's for updates and says 'The Latest Updates have already been installed'.
My device is unrooted and running Android 4.4.2 and is unlocked. My brother bought the exact same phone and got the update over FOA more than a month ago!
I can't find anywhere on the internet to help me out, I don't want to update manually.. I wan't to know why my device won't update automatically.
Any thoughts on what I can try? Does it need a factory reset? Has anyone else got this issue? Help much appreciated.
sorry my friend the only way is to manually update it using odin on computer.
but, you can try to connect your mobile with kies and see your csc country then look in sammobile website if your country csc got lollipop, if so try to factory reset and then check for an update , but first make backup of your data.

But why won't it update via FOA? Is this a common thing where Samsung picks and chooses who gets it (seems kinda wrong), or is it possible I've got a fake phone? I've got a lot of stuff on the phone and don't really wanna go through the whole backup system restore process. I type on google my problem and it just comes up with stupid articles like 'How's lollipop treating you'.. it's like nobody has my problem but me?
Did some more digging around and found the following info for my phone:
AP: G900FXXU1ANJ1
CP: G900FXXU1ANJ1
CSC: G900FOXX1ANJ1
Searching the CSC on Sammobile tells me that the latest version for my phone is still 4.4.2 (not even 4.4.4?? It's like Samsung forgot about it).
Oddly, it says the country is Portugal (TPH) for this CSC, even though I bought a UK phone. This prompted me to check the IMEI on IMEI.info which confirms that the phone is legit..
I downloaded keys at it tells me the firmware version is:
PDA:NJ1 / CSC:NJ1 / PHONE:NJ1(TPH)
It says the latest firmware is already installed.
I'm wondering if my phone will ever get updated to lollipop (the fact that its still on 4.4.2 tells me maybe never). So I want to try and do this manually. Is there a way to change the country code? Will this void my warranty? Or can I manually force lollipop onto the phone via Kies? Do I need to root?
Some clear instruction for me to follow would be much appreciated. Thanks guys

yes it is... but i want lollipop .. will it void it? If yes thats ok Ill go ahead anyway
Rather than focusing on the goal of upgrading to lollipop, do some research about whether you actually want/need to.......
Quite a few members have posted here about problems and instabilities with lollipop.
Also, if you intend to root your device and tweak/modify it, the general advice is to stay at 4.4.2, as 5.0.0 tends to 'reduce the possibilities'......

I have no idea if it will void the warranty. When I flashed my device to 5.0 with the Polish release my CSC changed to XEO from H3G and my knox is still 0x0. What is your carrier? Head over to sammobile.com and download the rom corresponding to your carrier, and flash it as normal.

^^ I am currently flashing back to 4.4.2 so my stability and battery life isn't wrecked. I would also recommend staying on KitKat.
5.0.0 seems to be (by all accounts) a bit of a 'rush job'......
5.0.1 and/or 5.0.2 will be more polished and stable.....
Also Samsung have (from what I've read) included a new 'secure' bootloader with 5.0 and beyond, which apparently is causing 'issues'.........

The latest firmware for Portugal TPH is 4.4.2, Lollipop for that region has not been released yet.
If your brother has 5.0 on his phone with UK firmware than he most likely has BTU firmware
You can update yours to BTU which as actually a UK & Europe generic multi CSC firmware from Sammobile here. LINK
You will need to download it you will need Odin to do it, but after installing you will need to do a factory reset otherwise you CSC will not change and the phone will be unstable
Lollipop 5.0 for me is extremely stable and battery life far better than any other version I have had, screen clip below shows 2 days 20 hours since last charge and phone at 62% this is with light usage though

Hi ag4751.. this sounds good.. I will get odin and try this. Do you mind being more specific about the factory reset? Is this something I do within settings or do I need to do that volume up power off button thing and access the function from there? Also (probably silly question) but does factory resetting completely wipe all my data and apps? thanks

Yes, factory reset will basically wipe you apps, data everything so backup everything, pictures, music etc, anything that is on your internal storage your External SD Card wont be touched everything else will, It resets the phone to the out of the box condition so if for example you are on level 300 in candy crush unless its synced up to facebook you will be back at level 1.
You do the Factory reset through Settings > User and Backup > Backup and Reset.
You will need to enable Developer Options in About Device if not already done as you need to enable USB Debugging.
Factory resetting is a last resort normally but it does tend to clear a lot of problems if the phone is not working properly but do it after you have flashed the new rom.
This is a good guide to using Odin, its on the S3 forum but the procedure is exactly the same with the S5, If you download the BTU rom it will contain a single .tar file you need to extract that from the zip file.
Reply here is you have any other questions regarding flashing with Odin it is simple but if you are not used to it, it can be worrying.
Cool. I'm downloading the firmware now. I've got USB debugging enabled. A question about the factory reset though. Is there a reason why we do this within Settings and not by pressing the power-->volume down--> home button and accessing those options? Under that menu there is also a 'wipe cache' option. Basically I was planning to flash the firmware using odin, then immediately factory reset and wipe cache before actually loading up lollipop. Does that sound ok?

You can do it that way, the only reason Factory Reset is in setting is to save you having to boot into recovery to do it, its exactly the same, there are additional wipe options in recovery such as cache and the factory reset, a factory reset will wipe the cache as well when its run you don't need to do it separately.
If you want to wipe the cache and factory reset from recovery it wont hurt anything.

Hello sir,
i got the same modified device of galaxy s4 (sph-l720 converted into i9500)
i also read almost all the posts that fall in this category. But i'm no more concerned about that change but all i need help is about to flash that firmware again in my phone.
Actually what i did, i got the phone pre-rooted then i removed some of the bloatwares from the system and also some of the system files too.
Then i come to know that it is not properly working. It got more serieous issues over the time. The i flashed my phone with sph-l720 firmware but it does not let me change network modes between gsm and wcdma. While i can change those networks in i9500 rom.
So i want to know that can i flash i9500 rom on my sph-l720 again "anyhow"!!
If possible send me links or tutorial so that i can flash rom on my phone. Also i am also eager to use lollipop rom (of i9500) on my phone. My phone is now almost unusable.
Give me the straight and forward solution and i am also aware about hardwares of both the devies.
Is there anything that you can help. I will really appreciate that.
I am the follower of xda since 2012.
If anyone could backup their current rom of kitkat (i.e. Modified rom on sph-l720) using twrp recovery and share it with my google drive or onedrive, so i can restore that on phone that it can be usable again. I would be very thankful to them.
Install Phone Info *Samsung* and send the details of it.
Hello guys,
I am verry sorry to bother you with this, but I am just to dumb for this part.
I am quite familiar with the whole custom rom business but I try to fix my mothers phone where I installed a Cyanogenmod custom rom (12.1) some time ago.
She experiences some mobile network issues which, I guess, are related to a old baseband / modem version causing troubles.
Can you tell me which version is the right one to flash via Odin or preferably via twrp?
I plan on updating it before installing the lastest 12.1 CM snapshot.
I believe she has the Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505 International with LTE and Snapdragon processor.
Under baseband version ("About the phone") it says I9505XXUEML6.
(I dont know if this is correct I can remember that I once installed a Google Play Edition Rom to get rid of the bloatware).
The phone was bought in Germany.
I know that you guys are probably busy with more important stuff but I'd really appreciate it if you could quickly help me with that.
Have a great day.
Thank you in advance.
Update: I got the files, changed the cable Odin passed but no version change!
Update 2:
Manually going into fastboot instead of using the reboot menu did it! Thank you so much. (Maybe add that info to the guide to avoid similar problems with othe people)
Thumbs up & good night!
Hi everyone,
just a long-time forum-lurker in the dark here, now I'm here asking for help to restore my galaxy s4.
Here's the story:
gt-i9505 no brand, italian official firmware 4.4.4 (kitkat), never updated, only used towelroot to gain rood adn unistall couple of unused apps.
everything worked fine
Then i decided to upgrade to lollipop.
downloaded last samsung lollipop rom for my phone from sammobile, made a full backup via TWRP Recovery, and installed lollipop via Odin.
Then the nightmare begun :
1st problem, no modem, no connection, only wifi, i restored EFS, still not working, reinstalled modem via odin and then i got my imei and connection again.
2) think i've tried to change the rom to a custom downloaded here (i don't even remember the name), then i tried couple other roms.
this as far as i remember
Now the phone has a samsung original lollipop rom, wifi won't turn on, data not working, knox status is obviously altered (so i cannot restore it via kies or whatever the software name is now) BUT It overheats a lot after few minutes and i'm forced to shut it off to not damage it.
I'd like to restore it to a full working condition, i think i've messed up with bootloaders, modems and roms from different android versions.
can anyone help ?
Current status is

Hey, @dokrobei
Take a look on my Guide.
You need the guide clean install from the scratch. Please read it carefully till the end. There avaible links with all necessary stuff like modem/bootloaders/stock rom-firmware/recommend customs roms etc.
Hi @Retrial, thanks for the answer..
I've managed to reinstall stock KitKat 4.4.2 and working modem drivers, following another tutorial here. Now Wi-Fi, 3g and bt works fine, BUT the phone overheats a lot. It's not a battery problem and sure it's software related 'cause it wasn't like this before my stupid first attempt to upgrade to lollipop.
I've searched the forum for the overtheating near the flash zone problem, some say that is a microsd problem (wich I removed), some other that's a battery problem (wich is not in my case).
Do you think I should start from scratch again following your guide? IHow do I know wich modem / bootloader is right for my phone? I think the problem is there, maybe wrong modem version..

First of all there is no need to still be on KitKat...a lot of apps don't support Kitkat nowdays...and is outdated.
I will recommend first to proper upgrade to Lollipop stock and then use some of the latest android Pie Custom JDC Roms by following my complete guide. As I said above there is a full guide with links and very well explained steps. The latest Firmware for our S4 i9505 is QK1 - No matter which country you will choose, and it's recommened to have the latest. Just read it carefully till the end and check the asterisks.
The overheating it may be no compatible Modem/Bootloader since you messed up with Lollipop. To check what Modem and Bootloder you can simply install "Device HW Info" or "Phone Info" app and check.
Let me know how it goes, and if you have any question or problem feel free to ask. Good Luck :fingers-crossed:

After every flash the device become hot. Let the rom settle for a while.
If you have PK2 Firmware then you need PK2 Modem and Bootloader. So no, don't try other modem/bootloader.

I flashed it last night and checked if it was working this morning. I'm sure the high temps are not related to the usage or to the battery. It become hot eachtime i turn on wifi. Havent tried with data but I think it will be the same thing.
