[Galaxy S 4 General] Olleh:
No Wifi

Hey guys... I'm after some advice please.

I was running a stock ROM and decided to go to Cyanogenmod, which worked mostly fine, but I decided to give the Lollipop version of android a go. So I downloaded the version linked for my GT-I9505 on this thread.

I followed the instructions, with the exception of one thing: I flashed all four of the files I found in the zip, as well as the PIT file, and told it to repartition too. I did this, becuase it's a new version of android and I didn't know whether it was compatible with the Cyanogenmod stuff that was on there - thinking a fresh start is best.

Anyway - my WiFi won't switch on - the slider keeps going back to the off positon. Any suggestions how I can fix this please? Or should I just go back to a stock non-lollipop rom?

Thanks in advance :D

EDIT: After lots of searching, I've found a solution, which is go back to KitKat! As explained on this helpful guide http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4/general/i9505-downgrade-5-0-lollipop-to-4-4-2-t3052472?nocache=1

Phone has booted up and wifi works and it gets a signal, so I'm a happy chappy!
[Galaxy S 4 General] CarlM34:
Assuming you follow the correct guide to flash official firmware there should not be any issues with the screen or anything else! :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] Vanojan:
Well there are some other things you should try:

-Use another PC with all samsung drivers installed!

-Use odin 3.10.6 version.

-Use all files given in the folder expect the .pit file and also dont tick the re-partition.

-Before flashing the firmware go to the recovery mode and wipe the chashe and do factory reset, after that yo directly to the downloading mode!

-Dont plug your phone while putting the files in odin, wait till it finishes!

-Flash the firmaware and wait till your phone fully boots up!

-And then when it boots up dont set up your phone go directly to the recovery mode and do factory reset & wipe cache again!

-Reboot your phone from recovery and set up everything!

Anddddd waliaaa it should work!:thumbup::D

Btw sorry for my bad english!

Hi everyone,

My friend with a GT-i9505 get a situation here. His S4 was rooted, installed Google 5.0.1 Rom and TWRP. He tries to unroot the phone back to stock. Without enough knowledge and assistance from people, he used SuperSU to unroot the phone. After that his phone goes into a startup screen loop boot.

He found this thread and I told him to download the correct firmware (Hong Kong 4.4.2

TGY-I9505ZHUFNB3-20140317110000.zip). He followed the instruction using Odin to push the firmware. He said it takes a very long time to complete the process. After it finished, it still don't boot up and stuck at a screen that ask him to connect with Kies.

Is this because he's from 5.0.1 downgrade to 4.4.2, so the bootloader didn't boot up? Or is it because he has custom recovery? He's just a stupid high school student and doesn't have the money to pay for a shop to fix it. Any help will be appreciated.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Vanojan:
Uninstall KIES and install only the samsung drivers, use another port.

Flash android 5.0.1 not 4.4.2 kitkat version its not easy to revert back from lollipop to kitkat!

Here the link for ll 5.0.1 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3043983

Dont use the .pit file and dont tick the re-partition!

Should work for you:thumbup:

Hi guys

I know this might be a longshot but would anybody be able to upload the Galaxy i9505 firmwares for New Zealand please.
[Galaxy S 4 General] darknessxyz:
Yeah I know it'll be difficult to go back to Kitkat. I also think of flashing a stock lollipop will that work. I'm just curious, so is it no way to go back to Kitkat? He has a nandroid backup file but I don't know if that helps now. Maybe going to a stock lollipop will be easier.

One last question, there's a 5.0.1 stock lollipop firmware in post #1. Can he use that or you suggested he follow the instructions from the other thread?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Vanojan:
You may be able to go back(not sure), but it wont be an complete rom! You will get much issues!

If you are gonna flash it uninstall KIES from your pc! And well lollipop will work for him/you!

Follow the instruction that i told you.
[Galaxy S 4 General] darknessxyz:
My friend follow the thread to install 5.0.1 Lollipop I9505XXUHOA7. I also told him to uninstall Kies from the PC. He got stuck at the boot image screen in Odin. It's been over a good 20 mins. Any advise?
[Galaxy S 4 General] darknessxyz:
Finally get it working again. It's just a simple and stupid error that cause the process stuck. After he uninstall Kies, there's no Samsung driver for Odin to detect the phone. Once he install just the phone driver, it work like a charm.

Thanx everyone.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Vanojan:
Did you use samsung usb cable? If yes then use another pc and another odin!

Now, will be great if someone make a good HOW TO update from 4.4.2 to 5.0.1 (UK Rom). And if once we have 5.0.1 how to update or change with another 5.0.1. Will be great if some screenshots will be attached.

For example if we have 4.4.2 and we need to update to 5.0.1 is it necessary phone boot loader will be checked or auto reboot + F. Reset Time only?

encryption password problem

Hello, I'm the owner of a phone with encryption data.

I've read in this post, note 3 that I had to do a hard reset after a corrupted pit file, but I've no idea what a hard reset is?

When I'm able to install a custom rom, I'm not able to use my phone because it's asking me a password to decrypt my data before I can use it.

The problem is that after a corrupted pit file apparently my password has been reset--> could you get me some advice on how I can get past this?

Thanks in advance!!!

Did you try just re-flashing your ROM without wipes

:)

re-flashing without wipes results in the system not booting. just says "Samsung" and nothing one time i left it 4 h and nothing happend. so I re-flashed, wiped reinstall everyting... :(
[Galaxy S 4 General] malybru:
Then , flashing stock seems to be your only option.

Remember to flash only an equivalent version firmware , or a later version.

Wipe data and cache before and after flashing if you can.

Anyway I can update to official 5.0.1 BTU, my phone is on EE but its unlocked since i'm using another carrier sim on it!

EE usually takes too long for updates so I want the UK unbranded (BTU) version to get updates faster!

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!!!
[Galaxy S 4 General] malybru:
Hi,

Yes, you can use BTU to upgrade.

It must be an equivalent firmware version to the one currently on your phone, or a later version.

Hi,

I have a Galaxy S4 GT-I9505. I've bought it in Holland but it came with some German T-Mobile stuff on it. (probably grey import) I would like to remove this by flashing the official Dutch ROM. Is there a way for me to check if my phone is protected against this? I don't want to brick it.

I know how to flash these roms, I've done it before but my other phones didn't have the T-Mobile boot screen (or any other carrier).

thanks for the advice :)
