Guys, I don't have internet connection after updating to 4.4.2... The wifi turns on, the mobile data also, but they don't transfer anything! (Actually, Samsung apps do, but only them... Synchronization with Samsung account is not working, also. Oo) the other apps get no internet connection and I got proxy errors in all of them, including the play store.

Any idea?

I wiped everything before flashing.

Thank you.
[Galaxy S 4 General] samersh72:
reset your phone also after flashing.

if not, reflash the firmware
[Galaxy S 4 General] denis_kos:
Hi guys,I have installed the Leaked firmware of 4.4.2 but it changed my CSC from DBT to NEE. Today i flashed the new official DBT firmware from sammobile but my CSC is still NEE. Any way to change back to DBT??? Thanks in advance and sorry for the noob question!
[Galaxy S 4 General] Lucas_Skyline:
I downloaded from this link:

Do you think it is safe?

Because every time I wipe my phone, I have almost 1 minute after setting everything up (samsung and google accounts), then I loose 3G and Wifi connection (they connect, but I don't receive data).

In this 1 minute, everything works fine. I tried to wipe 4 times, and this always happens. Now, I'm flashing again. The link from sammobile is not actually downloading, so I'm downloading again from this:

Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Annunneo:
They're simple guides guides on here to change your csc, just Google and I'm sure you'll find them.
[Galaxy S 4 General] samersh72:
did you reset data and cache after flashing?

if it didnt work, you must root and try to change with a csc changer

give the mega link a try
[Galaxy S 4 General] denis_kos:
Yes i did,there is no way to do it via odin?Thanks again..
[Galaxy S 4 General] samersh72:
reflash the firmware, untick "auto-reboot" in odin, after the "pass", boot into recovery and wipe data and cache, reboot and see if the product code has changed
[Galaxy S 4 General] Joery1983:
Is there a csc file in the download or just BL/AP/CP?

Which cf-auto-root should I use to root the new german 4.4.2 I9505XXUFNB8 ? Does it include a modem as well? I'm still on 4.2.2...gonna flash and root, don't even care about knox warranty anymore...

Where do I get a modem for 4.4.2? Do I even need one?
[Galaxy S 4 General] andrewbt:
No home screen shortcuts

Hi, i can confirm the issue,the camera shortcut that should be on the lock screen isn't there, and i had an error at the first start with some process, and i cannot set any lock screen shortcuts because the option is grayed out/disabled.

I will try tomorrow to re-flash it, but i don't want to do any dalvik cache deleting because i don't want to lose any data and have to reinstall everything.
[Galaxy S 4 General] beneelim:
Hya...flashed the new official 4.4.2 german and now I can't turn on my WIFI...I came from stock 4.2.2 which was only rooted. Does anyone know how to fix this crap?

I suppose I need to flash a new modem which works with 4.4.2. Could someone PLEASE point me to a link with that kind of modem?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Painman1963:
Lockscreen shortcuts, including the camera shortcut, are not available on the DBT version. If you want these activated you will have to change the CSC to another product code

How do you root i9505 fnb8? Tnx
[Galaxy S 4 General] ricky0001:
Please help as i look like lost.

I am currently using a german stock firmware but want to use NEE Nordic version. I can´t remember how I got that german version, but everytime i try to flash NEE firmware in Odin, it gives me fail . I have tried different odin version but same fail error.

The german firmware I flashed earlier looked like this.

I9505XXUFNA5_373648_REV06_user_low_MULTI_CERT.TAR and I had 4 files of this . BL, AP, CSC and CP which i placed in order in Odin.

The NEE firmware i try to flash just have one single AP tar file but I have feeling of i need BL, CSC and CP files as well but don´t know where to get.

I hope someone here can help me as i am really getting frustrated . I just want stock NEE firmware as I live in Nordic country and want to use kies in future updates.

Please help...
[Galaxy S 4 General] Joery1983:
The firmware you flashed is 4.4.2 unfortunately there isn't a NEE version of 4.4.2 yet, but I'm sure it will be any day now

So you probably trying to downgrade and that will not do

You'll have to wait until the NEE variant of 4.4.2. is released

[Galaxy S 4 General] demon_shed:
should be no need for a new modem, if this is the lte version you are talking about, mine has not had any of the problems anyone else is reporting. i updated, then restarted and had no problems, though it was not Rooted, so did a davlik wipe and reset and still no problems at all except unable to root it yet.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Joery1983:
With CF-auto-root worked perfect om 4.4.2 leaked firmware, so I'd say it will do for the official update as well

[Galaxy S 4 General] andrewbt:
Hi, do you know a way to change the csc via odin or something? without wiping the rom, or if i could get only the csc and flash it via odin, thank you. Or should i just wait untill a new ROM appears for another country?
[Galaxy S 4 General] beneelim:
I flashed a modem which I used with 4.3 because I didn't even have network signal. It's ok now. Wifi and 3g are working just fine. Had to reflash rom again, wiped cache and did factory reset and now everything works fine. Rooted with Chainfires cf-auto-root. Xposed works fine.

I'll need to do some tweaking because rom seems laggy, at least the buzz launcher. Removing bloat next...
[Galaxy S 4 General] Nigelnz:
Hi, i tried to flash 4.4.2 9505XXUFNB8 using odin 3.09 and it said no pit. accidently downloaded the i9500 pit and then during odin upgrade the plug came out. i now have the error message "firmware upgrade encountered an issue" and can't using odin to upgrade. have tried using the 9505 pit (re-partition ticked) and the previous original software but it won't install. It says NAND write start but then stops straight away. and says failed. What should i do?
[Galaxy S 4 General] demon_shed:
Not sure if it will work, but KIES has emergency firmware recovery ability.

are you able to boot the phone at all? if so, i would try that, start it and KIES and then run the emergency fw recovery process and it should hopefully restore it to factory. l
[Galaxy S 4 General] Nigelnz:
Thanks tried that already but kies don't have it in the list requiring emergency recovery. phone goes into revovery sometimes but Odin can't load the software. tried previous versions of Odin too.
[Galaxy S 4 General] demon_shed:
yeah i rooted with cf as well, after a bit of mucking around i realised that it had rooted but hadn't installed super su but when i installed that from play store it was all working like a dream, xposed framework, and wanam xposed running perfectly. all in all a solid phone. the bloatware is gone already and the only issue i can see is the ghosting of the text that some others are talking about.
[Galaxy S 4 General] beneelim:
Hmm, didn't notice "ghosting" but I've only had 4.4.2 for half day, will test further. Battery life seems ok, but a bit less compared to 4.2.2...it's just a subjective feeling tho.
[Galaxy S 4 General] demon_shed:
ok, if you can get to recovery mode, have you tried cache wipe and reset, do you have custom recovery , Did you do a nandroid backup, ? if so can you apply the update or backup from recovery ? if ODIN cant load the software it may be corrupt. i am by no means experienced compared to some of the guys on here, so take what i say as you feel, but i have had my share of misadventure when it comes to rom's and updates etc. (usually my own doing) and i have managed to get out of trouble pretty well.
[Galaxy S 4 General] sagemda:
Is it me or battery is worse than 4.3 ? Did all wipes of data+cache's + factory reset before odin flashing and... drops pretty fast.. maybe this 4.4.2 is like a test with other minor 4.4.2 updates to follow to eventually repair some bugs
[Galaxy S 4 General] nonyhaha:
Even if there will be fixes, this is a final official firmware. it is available through Kies.

My battery is doing just fine, compared with 4.2.2
[Galaxy S 4 General] sagemda:
i know this is official but have many fw went official then pulled off for being full of bugs? s3 for example
[Galaxy S 4 General] oliver005:
Quiet simple. All official rom's are coming in 2 formats, multiple files (wipe-roms) and 1 file (non-wipe roms). Don't know why you didn't got it if you're flashing alot.

So if you have like 3 or 4 files, you have to put them all in the right places in odin - it will wipe your phone.

If you have only 1 big file which goes to PDA (or AP in new versions of odin) it will NOT wipe your phone.

17h 14m, 1h 26m screen on, 76% left. Maybe you need to give it some time to settle up (to cache files etc)?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Joery1983:
Yes already sorted out, but thanks for your input. I did use odin alot but mainly after I screwed things up so had to wipe myself before flashing.

Maybe you can clear something else out. Since I heard people complaining about the CSC code that didn't chance. Is this because chancing csc wipes your phone? I know if you manualy chance your csc it wipes your phone.

Just a tip for those users that have wifi issues after flashing.

First turn off the phone before entering download mode !

I found that rebooting directly to download mode does not flash everything correctly all the time.
[Galaxy S 4 General] geko1966:
FYI

Just a word of advice, especially for newbies, wait for the stock rom to arrive that matches Your end of the world, unless Your prepared to suffer the consequences of bricking, or Your device malfunctioning......and do Your reading prior to flashing. Do not expect this to be like windows updating. All to many cry babies after doing it wrong.......just saying.

And one thing i do not understand.....with files as big as these why not torrent....why mega????

Have I bricked my S4 9505

Hi all hope I am not ruining this thread for anyone, but I have been trying to get my S4 9505 sorted since this morning and have failed abjectly every time. I had tried to use Odin to install O9505 XXUFNAD and not sure what happened or what I did wrong, but I have ended up with the dreaded yellow triangle, telling me that there was an issue while upgrading the firmware and to try Kies to sort it out. My problem is not that I cannot get into recovery, I can get into it OK, but when I try to flash official firmware I get a message in the box that shows the progress, in the top left and it turns red too, saying fail. I have attached a screen grab of Odin showing what I mean. I do hope that someone will have a solution for me, because my custom count has been triggered, well and truly.

Thanks for any help that I might receive Wez

Download odin 3.09 and try again

[Galaxy S 4 General] kerrywez:
Many thanks for you valued advice. I do have Odin 3.09 on my laptop so will try it and advise you as to what happened. I a sorry maybe I did not explain myself properly, I was trying to upgrade to 4.4.2 when I got into trouble, that 4.2.2 firmware is the original firmware that was on the phone when I got it, it is 3 Ireland jelly bean. I will try to place the 4.4.2 firmware this time, using Odin 3.09. Unfortunately that failed also. I have tried to use Kies, but my phone will not connect to the thing. I am not sure what to do, I was always of the opinion that if you could access recovery then all should be well, but this time it does not look that way. I do have Odin 3.04 in my laptop also so might as well give it a go too.

Many thanks again for your help and I wish you the very best of luck Wez
[Galaxy S 4 General] malybru:
Hi,

If you are using odin , make sure there are no instances of kies that are open.

ctrl.+shift+esc stop all kies processes.

:)
[Galaxy S 4 General] kerrywez:
Many thanks I have had a look in task manager and there are no open Kies running. I am at a loss to explain why this is happening. I wish now that I had stayed with Echoe, it was a good Rom, but my internal card was full and I could not find any way to remove anything from it that was anyway big.

Thanks again, good luck Wez
[Galaxy S 4 General] malybru:
Hi,

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.

:)
[Galaxy S 4 General] kerrywez:
I have a feeling that you might be right about the cable. The original one, which came with the phone, is not working and I am using a non Samsung one to connect with the phone. I should have one or two lying about the house as this is my 3rd galaxy, must have a good root around and see if I can find one.

I shall have a good look after, I have the dinner on and just waiting for it to finish.

Again, many thanks for your help, best wishes Wez

---------- Post added at 06:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:54 PM ----------

As I thought you were quite right, as \i type the firmware is flashing to my phone. I would never have thought that it could really have been the cable, but had given it scant consideration. I am so happy now that you have pointed me in the right direction. All I need now, to make my day complete is to get my car back, fixed to my satisfaction, just bought it second hand and it broke down within 10 miles, should be OK this time as I gave the guy a list what needed and called him yesterday and asked him what he had done, he said he had it all done and he was bringing it back, I said have yo this done or that done he said no to 3 of them.

All the very best and good luck Wez

[Galaxy S 4 General] Painman1963:
It really irritates me when people don't do any research and then want someone to hold their hand through the process.

If you don't know what a custom recovery is then you shouldn't be flashing Roms!

Read more!
[Galaxy S 4 General] Joery1983:
You should seriously consider to search and read a little more before flashing and possibly bricking your phone.

You'll need a custom recovery to flash custom roms, make and restore backups of your complete system of parts of it etc. Everything starts with a custom recovery. Search for CWM, TWRP or philz_touch those are all different variants of a custom recovery.

Download official firmware for your region/phone/carier as well always handy to keep in backup if you need it and my guess is that you'll gonna need it at some point. :)

Hi

Sorry for the question...but i don't find the answer

Hi have an S4 gt9505 knoxed with a custom rom installed (Google edition)

I want to return stock without root, original.i know all about knox...but can i return stock without brick my device? The two message on the boot screen(yellow and red line)disappear?

How to do?if it's possible

Thanks a lot

Regards

Paolo
[Galaxy S 4 General] demon_shed:
yes you can return it to stock without bricking it , as long as you follow the basic steps of flashing it should be fine. Download the stock F/W for your phone and region, and flash it like you would if it were a custom rom. the stock F/W will give you the stock bootloader, kernel, and O/S. yes the two red and yellow lines will be gone when you return it to stock.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Suennio:
Ok,i've got to use Odin?or i use custom recovery to wipe/format all?

A "mini guide"?

Thanks again

Paolo
[Galaxy S 4 General] demon_shed:
1) go to http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ and search your device, and download the latest stock firmware for YOUR REGION, it will likely not matter if you use the german software 4.4.2 , as this is what i use in australia, but i would advise the latest for your region.

2) load the Firmware into odin eithe either in pda for older odin 1.8x or ap for newer odin 3.09

3) reboot the phone to download mode.

4) connect phone to odin via usb

5) wait for the connected confirmation and click start

this will take about 15 mins , so dont panic if it seems like it is taking longer than to flash a custom ROM. let it continue through untill the phone reboots. if you need any more help just ask, i can walk you through it in more depth

Is it safe for Samsung if I flash stock 4.4.2 coming from rooted 4.3? I can do this method on my Xperia I just wanted to be sure if it's safe and will not brick my device. Thanks

Hey guys :D

Right now im on Prism Barebone 3.0 (MK9 - 4.3) and I have serious sound issues causes by some weird compatibility problem (sound just stops working randomly).

And so I was wondering if flashing stock sammy firmware (NB3) like described in the OP would solve that sound issue, and also if I have to do something with the bootloader as I still have 4.2.2 one ?

PS: this is my first post on XDA btw :cowboy:
[Galaxy S 4 General] demon_shed:
as long as it is software and not hardware related then yeah it will fix it, as it wil give it back the correct firmware to run it, and i think, but i stand to be corrected on this, but i think the boot-loader comes with the kernel and stock firmware all in the one tar and is all installed when you flash the firmware.
[Galaxy S 4 General] malybru:
Hi,

If you have the old bootloader, then, you need to flash MGA firmware.

Otherwise you will end up with the Knox bootloader..

:)

Transmitted telepathically from my S4
[Galaxy S 4 General] ayedarts:
What do you mean exactly by "MGA firmware" ? :confused:

And what would be the problem with Knox bootloader ? Would I still be able to root and flash a custom ROM ?

Thx for your help :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] malybru:
Hi,

MGA was the last firmware without the knox bootloader.

There is no problem about having the knox bootloader , but it does restrict what you flash, and you cannot downgrade.

You are better off keeping the old bootloader , and flashing custom recoveries and ROMS.

[MENTION=4975115]samersh72[/MENTION] ... is there a MGA firmware available on the download section?

[Galaxy S 4 General] Joery1983:
You probably flashed the 4.4.2 bootloader since this is 4.3 firmware and it fails flashing the 4.3 bootloader. You'll need the 4.4.2 firmware.

Take a look at the second post of this thread you'll find it there.
