Please any help would be appreciated! So I'm having some touch screen calibration issues after root and flashing TWRP + LineageOS. I search the forums and find that it can be fixed by dialling *#2663# and updating the firmware, but for whatever reason it doesn't work for my device. I tried other codes and find that none of them work at all on this device?? Do the codes normally stop working after root and will I need to flash back to stock firmware to get them back? The Phone Info App didn't work either. The SPen still works so at least the phone isn't totally unusable but it's still very irritating that nothing seems to fix this. Thanks in advance!
EDIT - I ended up fixing this by flashing stock Samsung firmware (marshmallow 6.0.1) via Odin. The code worked perfectly and I was able flash LineageOS again and it all works fine now! It was a little annoying to basically have to start all over but at least it's all good now lol. Cheers.
That's a Samsung code... you running a Samsung rom?

No, LineageOS rom. In the end I flashed back to stock Samsung firmware and the code worked lol. For future reference, does Lineage have its own secret codes?

I don't know know for sure, but I couldn't easily find any. I leave the firmware alone unless it gets corrupted. In over 12 years that's never happened.
The big thing with Samsung's is never upgrade or update a OS that's fast, stable and fulfilling its mission. Upgrades/updates can and do break things...

Hi everyone, I need advice on restoring functionality to my i9505. I Odin flashed the NA1 stock leak because I thought it was required for echoe v16 rom which seemed to work but I had no wifi so I flashed the wifi fix from the i9505 stock rom thread for the 4.4.2 stock rom but it broke the sound and I still have no wifi now I gave a buggy stock rom with no wifi no phone no messaging amongst other issues and my Knox flag is 0x1. I have tried Odin flashing all sorts of bootloader modems etc but they either don't fix anything or they have an error while trying to flash saying FAIL! (Auth) in Odin and device says SW REV. CHECK FAIL : fused : 4 , binary 3. If anyone can please help me with a solution I would be very greatfull. I have Googled and looked through a lot of threads but still haven't found an answer. I know I've made a stupid mistake, just need help now.
1. Stop of flash things without read before. Flashing old bootloaders is horrible idea. This will create a paperweight soon.
2. The unique solution u can do is:
- Flash I9505XXUFNB9 (NEE) Nordic Countries-> HERE or HERE by Odin :fingers-crossed:
thanks Joku1981, im downloading now, it was a stupid mistake, I have been flashing and modding phones for about 10 years since flashing monster packs on a Motorola E398, I don't generally make these mistakes, I did a lot of reading before attempting this and it looked like others were having success but I just misunderstood the process. I am in Australia, not sure if that matters, is there any specific process to flashing this? will there be any steps to follow flashing with oden?

Im flashing for about 10 years too. But the Samsung bootloaders are one new big **** for all the people that love modify their phones
I know, its really disappointing, they should understand the potential of letting developers have access to the devices software by now, there are developers out there making way better stuff than the OEMs are. its almost starting to go backwards, you never used to have so much access as you have with the open source Android OS but now companys are clamping down on more and more of the device specific code etc.

Samsung devices now: If you was lucky and you received one Samsung with android 4.2.2, DONT UPDATE IT PLS
I flashed the file successfully, but I still have no sound and no wifi, things like phone and messaging are still buggy, any other sugestions?
yes my original bootloader was pre KNOX, I know, I have already ruined it now, no going back, almost enough to put me off modding all together, think im going to be up for a new phone by the look of it.
also my android version still says 4.4.2 and baseband still I9505XXUFNA1

Try to flash the combined package from here make sure to turn off your phone manually then wait atleast 10 sec and hold and press power Voldown in order to boot into downloadmode and open odin select CP/Phone ( .TAR) and flash

Well because you flashed a 4.4.2 kitkat..... and instead of you writing thanks to joku1981 there's a button right over there > feel free to click
thank you to both of you guys, you have restored my phone, I am so greatful for your help and generosity I have thanked you both and I will make a small contribution for your efforts, please advise Repulsa if there is some way I can make you a small donation for your help. one more thing, I am confused now as to which roms will now be compatible with my phone, will it be safe to flash Echoe v16 now? and what roms will I have to stay away from? thank you both again so much for your help.
Hello. Recently I got Galaxy S5. Then after trying to root it I realized it's a chinese clone which haa complicated my life. I tried to root it and put in a wrong version of Clockworkmod. As a result, I fortunately haven't bricked the phone, but my bootloader is not working anymore. It doesn't load up. Only thing that works is the factory mode. Now the problem is - I want to get the phone to it's stock ROM and firmware, but because there is no way to access bootloader, nor download mode, I can't use Odin to do so. Is there any way I could flash the phone with a stock ROM and make the bootloader work again? The OS works fine, only thing that doesn't work is the bootloader. Thank you.
Samsung Galaxy S5 clone (G900S - South Korean), MT6589. Android version 4.4.2 Kit Kat, Kernel version 3.4.5, rooted.
You need to identify what model you have, obtain the stock firmware for that model and restore that. There are forums that concentrate on the clone models, use Google to find them, and they will go into more detail about your options.
Beware that many things on XDA will brick or worse a clone as the apps and advice here are not intended for a clone which is completely different under the hood.

Thank you for your reply. Well tge stock firmware is secondary for me. The problem is with the corrupt bootloader. I think it tries to load the CWM, but due to it's incompatibility it cannot. Is there any way to replace the bootloader only? Without the working bootloader, I can't do anything to fix it or to flash a custom ROM. I haven't find anything related to it. Or at least not yet.

Try to get your money back bro. If it's a chinese clone s5 God only knows what it's running. It's not a Samsung nor an s5 for that matter so the recovery and Odin won't work.

Well, everything worked well until I tried to flash it. The reason was corrupt GPS. I found a way to fix the GPS but it required root and somehow I clashed it with incorrect CWM and the problem was born :/

Dude, get out of this forum or you`ll break your device permanently. You don`t have a Galaxy S5 and thuss neither a Qualcomm 801 cpu fow which these roms are build for. Find a forum somewhere for your device. Good luck
A normal (full) software image would include a bootloader. Separating a bootloader is much less common.
And as several people have already warned you.. quite a lot of the advice, procedures, firmware, et cetera on XDA will further damage your clone. Your clone may look like an S5 but it is very different internally. If you truly want a completely unusable phone, a literal paperweight, then continue.
Find another forum that has firmware and advice on how to program your specific clone.

Was the purchase of this clone made inside or outside of the USA?
Ready to sell this phone... tried everything I know how to try... Dev Edition Verizon S5, CAN'T UPGRADE from stock NCG. The most I can do it root... any ROM I flash is nonfunctional on Verizon's network with NO SIGNAL. Replaced SIM, flashed modems, etc etc... I think I'm just not sure how to do it with a dev edition... seriously feel like I'm missing a step. Would like to start from scratch. Does anyone have a stock image of a G900V Dev Edition I could work from, since I'm starting to think the one I've been working from is somehow the incorrect version. Thanks!

I would but I'm trying to avoid locking the bootloader, if possible. Didn't intend on having a developer device, but now that I do, I'd like to try to maintain it's use as one. Bought this phone on swappa, seller didn't give any indication that it was a developer device. Now I'm concerned he did something to it prior to selling that is causing me difficulties. I don't think I should be having these network difficulties, but there could very well be something I'm supposed to be doing with the modem that I'm just unaware of. I figure if I can get back to the way this phone was when it was new (when the original seller bought it) I'd at least have a clean slate to work with.

I don't think so, but thanks... I think that's the same device firmware that the retail version comes with, which will lock my bootloader. I've actually considered just flashing it anyway and saying the hell with an unlocked bootloader, since I didn't really intend to have one to begin with and apparently there's nothing I can do with it, anyway (none of the unified builds work on my device, anyway) but this is a last-ditch effort to preserve it if i can, and I'm hoping some dev will be willing to help me diagnose my problem.

It's not like there's a ton of development going on for Dev edition. I'm loving the retail version of the phone just rooted and running some Xposed. Like it so much, I went out and got one for the wife too and I paid full retail for both to keep my old unlimited data plan. Hers I just left out of the box stock. Will be interested to see how Lolipop looks when it drops to her phone. Sure hope we keep root with Lolipop, I use the heck out of my hotspot, to the tune of about 70gb/mo ...

I'm far from a developer, but this may help. I also bought the phone without realizing what it was I was getting into and had similar problems flashing the Optimal rom on my dev edition s5. I could flash but phone would hang on the activation screen with no signal. I eventually succeeded. As near as I can recall this is what I did:
I dirty flashed Beantown 4.4.4 rom (twrp) over my 4.4.2 stock firmware. then flashed n12 firmware (included stock kernel, and modem) from dev edition make an update .tar thread (odin) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56604757&postcount=2). I did a factory reset after flashing. Switched to art. Flashed optimal with clean reset, but did not flash kernel. Later flashed koontsez 4.4.4 kernel. Still running Optimal
Good luck.

Had marginal success using this method... Have been able to maintain a 3G signal, but no LTE after first boot. Rather, when I first booted, I had LTE and thought I was good, but since my first reboot, I can only get 3G and nothing I do can get it back so far.

This happened after I flashed the update.tar (with aboot.mbn removed) and I have note gotten LTE back. Is there something I can do with my aboot.bak that I'm missing?
I need one. Anyone?
If you need to reinstall the stock rom, you can do it from samsung kies, it will grab the latest rom for you.
You can also download it from samsung mobile website (do a search), but you will need to register
Kies would not work with my tablet, referred me to Smart Switch, which didn.t work either. Downloaded a stock ROM and tried to ODIN it, hung part way through. So, not having a ROM or as recovery, IreODINed TWRP and am flashing Ultra Lean ROM. Back where I started....

Is it then fair to say that there is no way to bring stock Android to a Tab A T580? I hope I am wrong, there is tons of bloatware in the T580, and it gets in the way of several applications, specially games.
Any suggestions on how to stock-ROM a Tab A T580 will be hugely appreciated. Cheers
I would be interested in a stock ROM for my sm-t580 as well. (USA version). I spent a good portion of today looking for one. I confirm also that Samsung's website was of no use! Unless I'm just missing something. But again spent most of the day lookong all over the net.
*Edit* - noob mistake. I got Samsung Kies to work this morning.... When it asks you to choose model number and serial number... Make sure you type it exactly. It's case sensitive. Give it a shot found my stock SM-T580 firmware and is downloading now.

Just to be clear... By "stock SM-T580 firmware" do you mean
1) The original firmware that comes with the tablet when you buy it? or
2) Clean, unadulterated Android (Stock Android)? ==> I am looking for this, anyone can help with that? TIA
The stock firmware is readily available at many firmware hosts.
UPDATO.COM, SAMSUNG-UPDATES.COM, SAMMOBILE etc.
All these have the firmware for the t580.

This is definitely too less info to assess what might be a culprit for your problems.
First of all you should get a proper log and analyze it yourself or (if you are not able) ask other experienced xda members or devs to do it for you.
At this link you can find some useful info how on that
One of the worst cases might be for instance corrupted internal memory but guessing is not a good way for reliable answer.
Try a new battery

I use to have that exact problem. It seems to be a problem with Samsungs Marshmallow roms. The only permanent fix is to either downgrade back to lollipop or root and upgrade to a custom nougat rom. In the later case i would use LineageOS or CrDroid android.

I only use custom nougat ROM's and have had no issues. (Maybe the occasional reboot on a panic)
I use a AICP 12.1 build by optx which is very reliable, smooth and consistent.
If you want the link to try it, let me know.
If you do try AICP, try formatting /data and ART/Dalvik cache as F2FS via TWRP. (MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR INTERNAL STORAGE!!!)
At your own risk of course
