Stock ROM error

I downloaded the firmware for Indian i9500 named - "I9500XXUEMK9_I9500ODDEMK9_INS.zip" from the links given. When I try to flash it using odin v3.10.7 I get an error in odin "Check: 3 Device:2".

-------- What I have tried till now ? ------------------

I have a custom ROM (Resurrection Remix 5.8.3 ) already installed on it. I have flashed CF root to get back the stock recovery and tried to flash stock again. However, all of this in vain.

My original problem however is that sim card doesn't get detected. According to some of the threads, my EFS has been corrupted, so I tried flashing the modem.img from stock ROM but again in vain. I tried flashing indian basebands too but to no effect. My sim card works with other phones, so the card is not defected.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back to my original problem, can somebody guide me through the process of flashing the STOCK ROM. I have already referred to the thread on "flashing stock ROMS[i9500]" but I can't use that link to any good. Please help me resolve this issue.

I want to downgrade my Samsung Galaxy S4 from FW 5.0.1 to stock 4.2.2. reason being the phone is overheating and draining battery extensively. I tried to downgrade using Odin 3.12 but failed may be because of the bootloader and I cant say for sure. Help needed.
[Galaxy S 4 General] malybru:
IIRC you cannot downgrade because of the new bootloader , unless you have one of the original units , and did not upgrade the bootloader.

Have you tried installing some different ROMS and see if the drain is the same?

Stuck in Odin Mode

Good day,

I'm new to forums and wasn't sure exactly where to post:confused:

I've got a Samsung J1 Ace (SM-J110F) with Android 4.4.4 and without warning when I switched it on the other day, it was stuck in Odin Mode.

Black screen with the following info:

ODIN MODE(MULTI CORE DOWNLOAD)

PRODUCT NAME: SM-J110F

CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official

SYSTEM STATUS: Custom

Secure Download: Enabled

I cannot enter Download or Recovery Mode (I've got the key combo right as I can do it on my other Android devices)

I've tried flashing a stock ROM with Odin as it is - the device gets detected by Odin, I start the flashing process and then it fails with a message about the PIT not found. But as I say, this is probably because the phone isn't properly in Download Mode.

Any ideas how I can get it in Download Mode, or is it bricked?

The phone hasn't been physically damaged at all and I have never tampered with the software before. No software updates were done immediately prior to the crash.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Duncan

Hey guys which firmware should I download for Indian version
[Galaxy S 4 General] Dang !!!:
Inu or Ins

As Bhargav97 say :

There's a slight difference:

INU= India unbranded/unlocked

INS= India service

Maybe Service means it is for devices that come with a contract.

hi all. I would like some advice on getting my s4 uk o2 network ou of an error with firmware upgrade message,but kies recovery does nothing,will not even show as connected but odin will.

tried to go back to a stock firmware from a unicorn rom on marshmellow i think it was,but got a fail and now the messsage stated.

can anyone give any pointers as this thread page 1 did not help with odin recovery. got a fail at the end with this stated= sw rev. check fail: fused 4 , binary 3

thanks a mill...
[Galaxy S 4 General] olly33:
No replies,so gave myself a headache trying to sort it. Think I managed to rid the warning message of a corrupted firmware by removing the sd card and then I got the downloading message do not unplug on screen so connected to odin and this time I got a pass with stock firmware. Now I have the phone back working and thought the post may help others.

[Galaxy S 4 General] drparvez:
Ok no problem the thing is you have to format it in another format and then reformat to its previous file type. Just format it to reset your corrupt internal storage.
[Galaxy S 4 General] cervantes:
thanks for reply but can not fix problem
[Galaxy S 4 General] drparvez:
Are you successfully format internal storage.

In wipe option choose data then click repair and change file system. Click change file system choose any type except ext4 then swipe to proceed. Again do same thing this time choose ext4. After that go to wipe option choose swipe to factory reset type yes.

In backup option internal memory shows available storage in mb?

Stuck at logo screen

I have a I9505 (Galaxy S4) and after a week I rooted (with CFautoroot) my device rebooted alone and after that I could not get past the logo screen.

I can:

- enter download mode;

- use odin (install roms, pit, etc with no errors);

I cant:

- enter recovery mode (stuck at screen showing "recovery booting" blue text at top and logo)

one observation is that if turn off my phone, it actually reboots instead of shutting off. To shut off I need to pull off the battery.

And if I plug my phone on the charge, it shows the battery icon on screen but greyed out with a lightning inside.. not changing to the charging animation

I tried many installations: latest stock rom (jan/2017) downloaded directly from samsung servers (using samfirm, which by the way I completely recommend) with pit (and without it).... tried with CF autoroot.. tried with twrp.. but with no change... I can never get past logo screen =(

I think theres still something installed that could be affecting my phone, is there possible? The question is: when I install pit + rom it removes everything?

I dont mind losing all data from my phone memory, so if theres anything that I could do to restore my phone to original form I would do it.

I recently received a Samsung Galaxy S4 from my friend as my old phone broke. When i got it, i tried to go into recovery mode and it didn't work and ended up in going in a boot loop. Every time i try and go on recovery mode it says "movinand checksum confirmation fail", so last night i decided to run Odin and flash new firmware on the device and every time i tried to flash it, it says "There is no PIT partition", so i looked around for some pits and i tried flashing them with the firmware, by themselves and i even changed to 3 different cords and when i do it keeps saying "re-repartition operation failed".

I don't know, wether my question is offtopic or not. I got an S4 (GT-I9505) of a friend, he could't boot it correctly. I had a look, and while booting the display was flickering. But it was possible to go into donwload-Mode. I tryed to install an original Rom-Image to the phone using ODIN.

After all, it was not possible to boot the phone. This was 3 month ago. Now I wanted to try it again ... but nothing is working, no Charging-LED nor PowerOn-LED.

I had a look to the Volume of the Battery, it was nearly 3,7. Well, I bougth a new one and also a new charging-Unit. Also I tested the Power-Button, but electronicly it is working. Cause of the age of the phone I dont want to buy a RIFFBOX. I found a manual with an SDCard an an debrick-Image.

https://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f7...alaxy-s4-i9505-similar-via-usb-cable-1666609/

But also in this way the phone isn't booting in Download-Mode. Finally I bought a "Jig Tool Fix" - Stick.

What do you think, would it be possible to reanimate the phone? Is there any other way?

I have the S4 on EE. I want to install the stock rom.

Just a few questions:

1) Are these rom's upgradable. So can i plug it in to KIES or get OTA Updates?

2) If not, i assume it is easy to back to the EE rom?

3) What stock rom is best, in terms of stability and speedy updates?

Thanks

[Galaxy S 4 General] samersh72:
those are official stock firmwares by samsung.

I think you have the latest EE firmware since for now there is only one EE firmware for uk at sammobile.

There is no best rom. You must try

It is not mandatory. But to avoid potential conflict between the 2 firmwares.

Try using other cable, other usb port, uninstall and reinstall driver...
[Galaxy S 4 General] damador:
there are diferent drivers for normal usb connection and download mode. reinstall drivers. in download mode go to windows device manager and see if pc detect adb modem device. also use original cable for connection
