I really don't know whick firmware I'm using before, it was the original firmware from Globe Carrier - Philippines. Then I forgto what firmware I flashed when I failed finishing the flashing process. I'm flashing that I9505XXUEMKE. I also downloaded SGH-M919-UVUAMDB-k0nane, the flashing process is successful but I'm stock right now at T Mobile 4G LTE logo.

Yes sir, the same firmware I'm getting in sammobile and the same firmware I downloaded and failing to flash, I'll try to redownload it.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malybru:
Hi,

It is important to know your firmware ,because if you have the knox bootloader , you cannot flash an earlier firmware.

This may be why it keeps failing.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] junchronick:
How to know if I have the knox bootloader sir? I think, currently I'm on SGH-M919-UVUAMDB-k0nane firmware, since I successfuly flashed it if it will be some help.

So tonight I finally decided to root my Galaxy S4 (i9505) as I wanted to install a beats audio mod (I used to own the HOX and really missed this feature!). However, I stupidly forgot to backup my device on CWM recovery before installing the mod and of course the mod is unresponsive and now won't let me use the stock Samsung music app at all because it conflicts with "Adapt Sound".

How do I remove this mod? I've backed up all of my SMS, Contacts etc so I have no issue with doing a clean wipe back to the stock official rom my phone came with (Its locked to the UK Three network), I just don't know how to do it!

Any help would be much appreciated :good:.

P.S. Can anyone recommend a good audio mod similar to beats? I like "Adapt Sound" but want to use PowerAmp which isn't compatible....Thanks again.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joery1983:
You say you've got the GT-I9505, but do you really? Because you wouldn't be able to flash SGH-M919 firmware.

You've told us you're lockt to Globe, but you're flashing Tmobile firmware and you got stuck at bootscreen.

Your first post states you've got knox, you've even got a knox locket kernel.

Remove your battery and look at the sticker and see what modelnumber you own. Then go to Sammobile.com and download the latest firmware for your specific model and carier.

Guys, i have problem with my S4 i9505. I had OS 4.3 downloaded from SamMobile and installed via Odin, as usual...I wanted to upgrade on test stock 4.4.2 and I did that but phone has bugs now and I can't downgrade again on 4.3. Odin sends me an error: fail! (Auth) and operation (write) failed. I can install 4.4.2 again but can't downgrade on 4.3 or 4.2.2. Please help me, tell me what's the problem, what can I do to downgrade OS?

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joery1983:
You can't downgrade. You can never go back to 4.3.

Try to flash NA5 again and before wipe cache, factory reset and after flashing don't reboot, boot in to recovery and wipe cache and do a factory reset, then reboot.

If it doesn't help you can download NA1 and flash that. Does are your only options.

Hi,

Sorry , but once you have the 4.4.2 bootloader , you cannot downgrade.

Your best bet is to wait for the official version of 4.4.2 and upgrade then.

Hello sir, thank you for your reply and sorry for the confusions. Here's the info on the back of my phone.

So I believe that I really have an I9505 that is locked to globe carrier. And I followed a thread in which it was said that I need to flash the SGH-M919 firmware for my mobile to boot up. I flashed it using Odin and it succeeded and yes when I booted up, I'm stuck with the T Mobile Logo. I clearly remember now all of the steps I've made before I got into this mess.

1. I flashed Omega ROM. I'm using the stock basedband/firmware that time.

2. After flashing Omega ROM, WIFI cannot be enabled, and air shuffle is gone so I tried flashing the stock firmware(The one I downloaded from sammobile.com which was the firmware for globe locked mobiles)

3. Then I got the error, in my s4

and in ODIN:

Anymore information that might help you sir?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joery1983:
Did you flash the omga rom based on 4.4.2. Firmware? So did you flash a bootloader before flashing omega?

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joery1983:
That's your problem. You can't flash 4.3 firmware anymore. You need this:

I9505XXUFNA5_I9505OXAFNA5_OXA.zip

https://mega.co.nz/#!yJ4z0C5a!ZxMSDwtDsVBD5Aw-jt9DvRiKuyEm8hdjW7Mv9eriNiI

Download and flash this. It should solve your problems. I'm just not sure since you're locked, but try it see if it solves your problem I don't see another option.

OK, I'm very new to any kind of rooting or installing of custom ROMs. Apologies for the noobiness, I've managed to teach myself everything so far.

I have the GT-i9505. I've managed to root it successfully. I've got Philz recovery installed, and I've made a full backup. I then wiped the phone. I thought I'd try Cyanogenmod first - I tried to install the most recent stable with cm-10.2.1-jfltexx.zip

I got Status Error 7.

I found a youtube video suggesting that I remove the assert part of the update script, I tried this and it failed without any status error. I tried toggling signature check and it still failed.

I don't really understand the other options in the PhilZ thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2201860

Is there anything I'm doing wrong, or anything I can try?

hi i'm new to this, sorry if i'm doing something wrong here in the forums but i'm desperate.

i wanted to ask if it were possible to downgrade to 4.2.2 from 4.3 IN ANY WAY. my wifi isn't enabling and it's just the worst.

i'm rooted.

my knox void is 0x1.

Kernel version: 3.4.0-2082040

Baseband: i9505XXUEMJ7

my story is that i was 4.3, happy, rooted, and everything was fine. then i saw a video of CM11. i had flashed CM10 sometime ago when I first rooted my phone and it went well, so why the hell not? fast forward to today and when flashing CM11 with TWRP, the screen whited out and BAM! soft-bricked. So then I just flashed the newest version (4.3) for my region, SEB, because it seemed to be a good idea at the time...

also i obviously did a nandroid backup with TWRP, but the backup isn't just one md5 or tar file, it's multiple files. i don't know what to do with them. i tried restoring with TWRP but it only restored the Boot files, even though I backed up everything

would anyone be so kind as to help a desperate teenager? (yes, i'm a teenager. and yes, i know i shouldn't have been messing with my phone because i am a stupid teenager.)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joery1983:
You can't downgrade sorry. You will have to do with 4.3.

Why don't you try to flash the firmware again? Wipe before and after see if it helps.

If it doesn't help I maby have some other firmware for you. Is your phone branded or unbranded?

Hi,

You can still root and flash ROMS if you have the knox-pox

It is just that it will trigger your knox flag , and this may invalidate your warranty in some parts of the world.

No you should hold on to this one until Globe releases the official 4.4.2 firmware for your region. There is no other firmware for you at the moment. So if it works hold on to this and if it really lags in reception you could try to flash a modem for your region, but don't flash other firmware

Final Fantasy IV

Hello, I have one question.

I've been trying to play FF4 on my GS4 (i9505). I have CM(the latest stable version) (previously I had Omegav19 rom, and it didn't work either). The game simply won't start, after i install I try opening it and it does nothing: the screen flashes as if it is going to start, but it does nothing...

I have heard it fails if you have xposed framework (which I have not) and also you must have standard dpi (which I did not mess with at all). Is this a problem on my phone? I have tried lucky patcher and modded playstore to no avail.

FF3 plays fine, FF1 has some black borders around the screen, but at least starts up fine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and sorry for any bad english.

your IMEI is showing right. check sim, sim tray, try your sim with another phone, contact your service provider....

it may be as hardware problem.

P.S. REMOVE your IMEI number from your post please.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joery1983:
Have you done anything to your phone before you got this issue or started it just out of the blue?

Did you try a different battery to see if the problem persists? Is your battery slightly swollen? How does your phone react on charger?

It sounds to me like a hardware failure. I would start whit checking the battery if that isn't the problem you should go to a service center and have it checked.

From what I have seen the program runs on your PC, so SU access prompts are not expected on your phone.

Make Sure you enabled USB debugging and turned on USB storage on your phone.

USB debugging is well hidden on a stock Samsung phone, look here for instructions.
