Today i must to give up, because time is against me. I leave the device at samsung assistence. Lets see what they will say for me.

I dont have screenshots, but im sure that i follow all those steps correctly. I tried many ways with odin, ticking unticking things, step by step.

By the way, im so happy with all here tried to help me. The beautifull word that i can say is Thanks, thanks guys!

Weird think: Switching from S4 for X10 is a punishment! My old and warrior X10 have no more battery life, like a mini screen now, slow cpu...:laugh: but its ok, is better than my x810i. :p :D:laugh:

Thank You guys (all people that help me), for everything.:good::good::good:
[Galaxy S 4 General] oukiza:
No problem! I guess you have a warranty on your s4 which is good :). I bought mine with no warranty or whatsoever. Tho i got it brand new but has no warranty at all so i will be responsible but that won't be a problem since my S2 that has no warranty didnt have any hardware issues so I assume hardware issues in my s4 won't matter . I hope your s4 works like a charm soon! :)

hello everyone,

it flashed boot.img and then imediately after that on flashing NAND stops with error "NAND Write Fail"

tried odin 3 and 1.85 ver

can only go in download mode (no recovery mode)

options selected when flashing "f reset time and auto reboot"

phone was on stock firmware before no root, custom rom etc

ANYONE CAN HELP WOULD B GREATFUL. THANKS
[Galaxy S 4 General] Will T:
You mentioned that the S4 is on O2, has it been unlocked?
[Galaxy S 4 General] tigerphil:
Trying to unroot and return to stock rom but downloaded the rom file from sammobile, unzipped it and now faced with 4 .tar.md5 files

Bootloader

Csc

Modem

Platform

I'm used to flashing the s2 and always seemed to have 1 .tar file on that. All I've done to the s4 is rooted it, can anyone tell me which file I need to be using just to get back to stock and do the OTA update, I know I can flash the update via odin but at the moment I'm not actually rooted for any particular reason so plan on going stock til I get time to look at custom roms etc then will root and play from there
[Galaxy S 4 General] mjiz16:
no its locked on o2.

---------- Post added at 06:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:24 PM ----------

follow this order of files in odin

bootloader - bootloader

csc - csc

modem - phone

all should be ok.
[Galaxy S 4 General] tigerphil:
Thanks. I'll be onto that soon as my son settles, save any risk of having a wire pulled during the process :) I'm guessing just to ignore the platform.tar file?
[Galaxy S 4 General] samersh72:
Can you tell what is included in platform.tar or the size. i think you must put it in pda
[Galaxy S 4 General] tigerphil:
I haven't attempted to unzip that file any further yet as my son tried helping out but abit to young to be learning yet even though I let him reflash the s2 back to stock with me showing him where to put files before giving it to him
[Galaxy S 4 General] Will T:
Only reason I asked if it was locked was "4-Your S4 should be factory unlocked. (for locked phone, flash carrier firmware to stay on warranty)" was quoted on page 1 of this topic.

What firmware are you trying to flash?

The O2 one or BTU?
[Galaxy S 4 General] mjiz16:
i ve tried btu but i m gonna try o2 one know let see what happens. can anyone tell me why it wont work when i install btu firmware.

i dont care about warranty i just want phone working.

Hi All,

Sorry if this is a really stupid question.

I bought a Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition like 2-3 weeks ago and have been using it ever since. I switched from iPhone to Android and bought the GPE based on many recommendations that the stock OS is better.

But for some reason, I want to experience the features that come on the TouchWiz as well. After a lot of googling and looking around on the forums, I can't seem to find the solution.

Is there anyway to install the TouchWiz interface on my s4 and get all the features that come with the s4 (like Air Gestures, Smart Pause etc) ?

Additional Details : Model Number is GT-i9505G (according to GSM arena same as SGH-i337 and i9505)

[Galaxy S 4 General] tigerphil:
Since going back to stock I cant get OTA update, getting a msg saying the rollout has exceeded. So I've tried using kies and got a msg saying current firmware is not compatible to update via kies :confused: any help will be great now I'm reading everyone getting their BTU updates
[Galaxy S 4 General] samersh72:
Yes, just follow the op. If you have i9505, reset counter with triangle away

It seems that you exceed ota update. Btu mdf firmware is not supported by kies.

You can flash new btu firmware with odin here is the link http://www.hotfile.com/dl/235905226/e7bdf1a/I9505XXUBMGA_I9505OXXBMG3_BTU.zip.html
[Galaxy S 4 General] tigerphil:
Thats the part I dont get as I've never done an OTA update or via kies, kies did recognise the phone before rooting but now I've removed root, done the factory reset, clear cache etc, those msgs have been coming up since but just started downloading from the link to flash via odin then hopefully things will go back to normal again

Updated to MG3 but still the same msg on kies but phones saying its up yo date so that must be working just looks like all updates will be by odin now, dont really rate kies anyway
[Galaxy S 4 General] Will T:
BTU firmware is for the unlocked variants of the SGS4.

I had an O2 variant of the SGS4, got it unlocked, then flashed the BTU firmware, worked fine. Didn't want any more additional "bloatware" on the device, otherwise I'd let it be with just O2 firmware.

The O2 firmware should work with your phone.

[Galaxy S 4 General] samersh72:
no flashable stock zip rom. you must update using odin, or ota if you have flashed pre-rooted stock firmware. in both way you will lose root.

Stock ROM S4 UK - Personal information /Data security issue.

Guys - My friend recently installed Stock rom for S4 from the link available with Sammobile and he is getting some strange kinda updates in Chinese language (Some kind of tv magazines and apps) automatically after installing stock ROM for S4 -UK.

Details of Rom are:

Model: GT-I9505

Country: United Kingdom

Version: Android 4.2.2

Changelist: 1081224

Build date: Thu, 11 Jul 2013 10:56:37 +0000

Product Code: BTU

PDA: I9505XXUBMGA

CSC: I9505OXXBMG3

MODEM: I9505XXUBMGA

Is there any backholes left in the Rom?? (Developers please confirm). Secondly how we can get assurance that the personal information and data is not logged somewhere else from the ROM installed? Seriously bit not sure after hearing this from my friend

Kindly suggest.

Help, please, noob question!

<ID:0/004> Removed!

<ID:0/004> Remain Port .... 0

All seens ok, but i can't feel that its right, its like a downgrade, right?

And I remember that when I flashed g5 india version, other things appeared as: "transmission start" and after "write start". That's because I have not unlocked the bootloader? Now how do I go back "fully" to G1 Brazil?

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 General] Anakha56:
Hi All,

So I want to get my S4 back onto my countries original firmware & CSC, should be easy right? Sadly not so much :/. I have downloaded my countries firmware, went into Recovery and did a factory reset, went into download mode and did a Odin install, back into recovery and did another factory reset. The phone boots fine and I can use it without a problem however my CSC is locked to KSA and I need it to be XFE how do I change this? I thought that if I downloaded the correct Odin ROM for my country it would automatically apply the correct CSC (did the steps this guide says) but sadly it has not worked :confused: .

If I root, change the CSC and then go back to complete stock will the CSC change with it?
[Galaxy S 4 General] samersh72:
usually a hard reset will set it to the right product code, make the reset, take off battery for a minutes then reboot.

if not, you can change it after rooting with the app, then reflash your stock
[Galaxy S 4 General] Anakha56:
Thanks for the reply, which app will change the CSC? Tried that method of pulling the battery after factory reset still no joy. See the other problem with the KSA CSC is that the Samsung Store is limited to what can be downloaded eg: no Learning Hub. Another reason why I want to get off this silly CSC...
[Galaxy S 4 General] samersh72:

Hi,

Is there a version of the firmware that is international and doesn't have the Islamic localization features? (EG S Planner always showing Ramadan, or having Quran apps installed by default and re-installed during next OTA update)?

I currently have a grey-imported i9500, but it has Islamic localization features bundled in the OS as described above. I could install firmware to some other version, but I don't know which one, since there is no Australian release of the i9500 (where I'm from).

There was one option, the version I9500BUBMG1 but I don't know if it has these localizations or not.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about here? :)

Thanks

Fixed my dead-bricked i9505

Thanks for this guide! I fixed my dead bricked S4 following the guide on legijas forum, worked like a charm. The only problem I encountered was with the USB drivers for Qualcomm, the drivers that are posted here didn´t work for me under WinXP or Win7. I found some older USB-drivers for some Qualcomm modem that worked equally fine anyway. Just replace the .sys file here with the one in the driver package and maybe it can be for some help.

My S4 is only rooted and did not flash any other rom. It is all stock besides being rooted.

I am wondering, if i use this unroot method, will it alter anything I have? I just want to go back unroot before i call to unlock the LTE for international use.
[Galaxy S 4 General] samersh72:
if you have the i9505, use triangle away app before unrooting, then just flash stock firmware to remove supersu app and su binary and you will be on pure stock
[Galaxy S 4 General] TigasAU:
Hey guys i've appeared to run into a bit of a snag which I haven't been able to find any information on.

I had previously been on the jamal google edition rom (4.2.2 final v1) and decided to return to stock, however after a successful flash of my original firmware (Australia XSA) I keep on receiving a message of "Unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped." as well as "Process system isn't responding. Do you want to close it?", rendering the phone unusable (can't get past the setup stage).

I believe this may be due to not clearing cache/dalvik prior to doing so (idiot move I know), as apps like floating notifications & hover touch controls are still visible on the screen. As it is impossible to hard reset with the phone on, I attempted to boot into recovery via the standard power+volume up(+home) method, however it too, does not work (a problem I also noticed whilst on the custom rom, however I worked around this by using the boot into recovery mod available from power options).

My question is, is it possible to hard reset the phone in this particular situation? or is it back to my H0x for the next 2 years?

Any advice is greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy S 4 General] samersh72:
try one of these:

- retry with stock recovery, first hold volume up followed by home followed by power.

- if you can enable usb debug in developer options, connect your phone to pc, open cmd where adb file exist and type:

adb reboot recovery

- flash a custom recovery (i suggest Philz) and do the reset.
[Galaxy S 4 General] TigasAU:
Thanks for the hasty response samersh72,

Still no luck for option one, it says booting recovery (paraphrased) but instead of going into a recovery (stock, or perhaps philz which is what I previously had) the screen goes black for some time despite holding the buttons for some matter of time. After which it just reboots like normal.

Option 2, is what I thought may have been viable however I'm unable to enable usb debugging or get into settings whatsoever.

Hopefully the last one may be fruitful if a philz recovery is flashable via odin??, however that requires root, which I believe flashing stock firmware removes??

I'm currently attempting to download one of DjeMBeY pre-rooted stock roms (XXUBMGA) which I believe may be a step in the right direction?
[Galaxy S 4 General] samersh72:
no, no need to root, just flash philz recovery with odin, do the wipe then reflash your stock again http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2281367&highlight=philz

yes you can flash a pre-rooted firmware if you dont want to be on umrooted stock firmware
[Galaxy S 4 General] TigasAU:
You're a bloody legend.... I actually managed to get into settings and I enabled usb debugging, but more important I managed to factory reset, just got past setup screen and everything seems to be fine at the moment. Will try testing to see if I can get into recovery etc, thanks a lot for your help man. I love you right now.

Hello, (sorry for "my" English, but I am using Google Translate)

I'm a huge headache because I accidentally installed stock firmware for China. And as you said in the first post in note 5, it changed things I never imagined that a firmware would change ..

My problem is that something has changed in the EFS folder .. When I open the folder show that the folder is empty ... And with that my IMEI is default (004999010640000) and I can not make calls, send SMS or connect to 3g.

I would appreciate some help from you to see if I can help in any way .. No longer know What do do ..

For my fake mobile

Hey guys, I'm new to android.

I got a mobile phone which is very much same to S4. It shows gt-i9505 as the model number, but later I found out that its a chinese fake mobile phone. The baseband version is MAUI.11AMD.W12.22.SP.V17, 2013/05/08.

I wanna know whether I can install the original S4 firmware to my mobile phone. Or is there any other custom roms with android 4.3 available to my mobile phone.

When I connect my mobile to the PC, the PC recognize it as a mt65xx device.

The problem is, when I use Power+Home+Vol Down, it boots in to a built-in recovery mode, not to download mode. When I use Vol. up+Power+Home, it boots into something called factory mode.

My Android Version is 4.2.2
