Try different USB ports and Windows versions. Those also have an impact on the success of a flash.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malybru:
Hi,

aboot.mbn fail is normally a result of flashing firmware that is older than the one currently on your phone.

You need to find a newer version.

Look here:

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647

Also , as well as what GDReaper said , make sure that there are no instances of Kies present on your PC when your are doing this.

Go to task manager and switch them all off.

Better still ,uninstall it.

Odin troubleshooting: If Odin accidentally gives you "fail" try the following:

- Repeat procedure.

- Make sure that all actions of Kies are disabled from task manager.

- Change usb port.

- Try another usb cable (make sure it is the original).

- Try another Odin version.

- Uninstall and re-install driver.

- Try another computer.​

Factory reset before and after flashing firmware is good practice.

Good luck!

:)

Thanks for your suggestion.

Wifi worked fine on original Lollipop and when downgraded to Kitkat.

Wifi now fixed...:o

... in FlashFire, reloaded the firmware (Lollipop XXUHOJ2) and selected just the last three options (modem, non-HLOS, and TrustZone) and flashed just those three elements and hey presto, wifi is back.

The "error" was obviously the "TrustZone" part of the firmware not being flashed originally...

Thanks again and best wishes, Boris.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
Or it was cause by the non-HLOS file not being flashed correctly, or maybe not at all.

The non-HLOS file is also known as LTE modem and WiFi fix.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bprtzel:
I flashed the modem collection (modem plus non-HLOS) again using Odin via PC and that dud not fix the WiFi so I am pretty sure it was not that....

I'm on win 7 and don't have another PC

I can't Factory reset before as I have no way to do so.

the samfirm program did nothing for me.

Recovery mode gives me;

Recovery boosting . . . .

recovery is not seandroid enforcing

Set warranty bit : recovery

I'm again in the process of trying to install a firmware. I just started and it's at the aboot.mbn. I'll try to leave it all day.

EDIT: no clue why but after every test I decided to use the same usb port, after changing it once I think I just solved my issue, now it's just to see if it infarct worked then root and hopfully get all my data back and just stick to normal samsung os/nova laucher.

A link to a tutorial or the files I need for stock android on a sgh-I337m SG s4 would be nice. I think I've got the steps down just need the right files because either I did infact **** up steps or I had the wrong rom. which I think I did, I think last time I tried installing Gapps and jdc.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
What exactly do you mean by "stock Android"?

People refer to the original ROM as "stock ROM"

Anything else is a custom ROM.

Flashing ROMs isn't rocket science.

Wipe, flash, reboot.

When wiping, do a full wipe! Especially when coming from a completely different ROM.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
Custom ROMs come in flashable zip packages.

If the ROM file does not have a .zip extension, then it's not a custom ROM, it may not even be a ROM.

Official firmwares have a .tar extension. But you want a custom ROM, so it has to be .zip.

And what other services do you mean? Using anything else than the recommend TWRP recovery (all others are outdated) is bound to cause problems.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
Then try a different ROM.

Remember to do a clean flash.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Firefly__:
Ok. I think my issue with this the first time was I used the wrong version. With the JDC release which download would I use. The "TWRP Recovery v3.0.0-0 with F2FS support (JDC Themed)" doesn't show support for my device and the "AOSP-JF-6.0 - AOSP-6.0-20160619-jflte.zip" doesn't have a list of supported devices.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Hi,

It also depends heavily on how old your device is, if your battery is old it won't last the same as it was lasting as it was new. Battery usually wears out after 1.5-2 years, if you want to keep your device but want a better battery life I'd suggest replacing it.

If your phone is new try a new ROM like it was already suggested...

On a side note, to all users, I'm finally free of exams so I will be able to be back to support here :).

I was using CWM 13 for my I9505, and yesterday decided to flash Thor S7.

Now the issue is that after the Rom installs and the first boot begins the screen is stuck on the bootloader (i.e. where Device model appears*i think so:p*) i know the first boot takes time but i left it for about an hour or so, but still stuck

any thoughts?

Web mail confirms that you know the correct user/password and that your internet works, but does not follow the same route as POP mail. Have you tried determining your mail servers name and pinging the server from a terminal window on the phone (while on 4G)?

It could also be that your mail server is blocking your request. For example, some mail servers will block IP's that are not known to it. If your mail is provided by your internet provider, when you are on WiFi you will be using an IP by your internet provider, but while on 4G you are your phone providers network, and therefore will have a different IP, which will be unknown to your mail server. Maybe your mail provider has increaased their own security (ie their firewall) while you were not looking.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiamondJohn:
Do not apologize, I do not think the question was as clearly stated as it could of been.

If you are getting 8GB available after flashing an official ROM, then, thats what the official ROM for your device/country leaves you.

If you wish for more remaining storage

1. Flash official ROM

2. Root

3. Uninstall bloat

Or find a custom TouchWiz based custom ROM that has been pre-de-bloated. Maybe, the Google Play Edition.

However, neither of these options will leave you with a "factory ROM" Or maybe I too have misunderstood your question.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Hi,

The 11GB ROM is a different partitioned ROM than the one most countries have, by that I mean, if you find such ROM you must flash its PIT file when installing it on your device, just follow the instructions that were given to you earlier and tick the "Flash PIT" option in Odin.

Although keep in mind that a broken PIT can hard brick your device, that is, no way to recover other than using a tool called JTAG Box, that flashes the firmware directly to your device storage instead of relying on an external software. Such tool is expensive though and most of times it's safer, cheaper and easier to find someone else to do it to you.

With that said I can't guarantee that your device will work fine after the repair neither that the flashing won't break, you must keep in mind it's all your responsibility. With that being said, here's the link I know that will do that (it's for the i9500, but there may be one for the i9505 if that's your case) - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2429309.

Hi,

Did it only started happening after flashing the CM ROM or did you only notice it after flashing the ROM. I mean, it could have happened before and you didn't notice... The thing is, when you say that after a complete reflash to stock and it didn't solve it can be a problem with the hardware itself.

WiFi won't turn on without SIM.

I recently picked up my old i9506, with the intention of using it as a Kodi-powered HDMI-plug. I found out that you can get these HDMI converters from Samsung called MHL. I had CM12 installed from when I used it, but the MHL wouldn't work.

The problem was solved by reverting back to stock Samsung ROM. So I got the MHL working, but I ran into another problem. When using stock ROM without I a SIM card, I am unable to turn on WiFi. It's not that the phone is unable to detect any nearby networks, but I am literally unable to turn on WiFi from the settings menu.

If it has any relevance, I am running stock 5.0.1 with region Norway.

Hi,

Have you tried flashing another custom recovery after you flashed the stock ROM?

Hi,

The first part, the one regarding wifi and Bluetooth disconnecting sounds like a modem problem to me, have you tried to flash another one?

For the second part, that's quite a weird problem. I was wondering if the other problem was related, but probably isn't. My best guess would be trying to pop out and replace them if it starts happening to frequently. You can also try formatting the sdcard or putting in a new one to check if the problem is with (that wouldn't explain the SIM card though).

Hi,

There is no "best ROM", as it is an extremely subjective definition. Maybe you could give a read in the OP of some popular ROMs then check for comments regarding its stability in the last pages of the thread.

Hi,

It's very likely a modem issue, please try flashing a different one, usually the pair Modem/Bootloader works best when in the same version, however depending on the BL you are running it's preferable that you use a newer modem to get compatibility with the system.

Hi,

That's not common... I've read in a previous post (I believe it was yours) that the PIT file doesn't come up when you put it to flash via Odin? If that happens, then maybe the partition table got a bit messed up, so I think when flashing the stock ROM you should tick the "flash PIT file", then after trying to boot (if it fails, in this case) you can try flashing again the custom recovery...
