This thread saved my I9500's ass.

My exact situation was:

1. Had updated to stock 4.4.2 using Odin and rooted about a year ago.

2. Recently tried to reflash to stock 4.4.2 firmware to unroot.

3. Odin hung/stuck on "sboot.bin". Phone no longer booted up; Philz recovery still available.

4. Repeated attempts at reflash stock 4.4.2 resulted in same error.

5. Found this thread and flashed both the PIT file and a newer version of stock 4.4.2 on Sammobile for my country at the same time.

6. SUCCESS.

Help with 3G Network

I have an i9505 s4 which I got from a friend. It is currently at 4.4.2, not rooted, and I cannot access 3G/LTE network with it. I can only use the phone on edge 2G network. I have tried flashing several modems, but issue persisted. Would updating the phone to 5.0.1 fix this issue?

EDIT: Can anyone please provide a mirror link for the UK 5.0.1 i9505 link on page 1? My laptop doesn't play kindly with mega-download links. Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 General] miloytyn:
How you are not able to use 3g/lte? I had similar problem in which if I tried to use 3g or lte the phone would not be able to register to the network and calls or data didn't work. The fix was to replace motherboard, which was done to warranty even though the phone was rooted and knox bit was 1.
[Galaxy S 4 General] obiwannn:
damn..... Given that this device isn't under warranty, any idea how much replacing the motherboard replacement would cost?

Read on gsmhosting that an NVM repair could work. Now I dont know what NVM means neither do I no how to go about this.

Hi,

recently I tried to do a OTA update to 5.1 from 5.0. However, my phone now is stuck at the loading screen. I just had some questions regarding the steps to this guide

1. Are the softwares/steps still viable to fix my phone or are there different steps required now?

2. Is there a full ROM for GPe S4 5.1? If so, I haven't been able to find it and I have only found the incremental roms.

2a. If not, which ROM would I choose to load onto the phone. My guess is http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2449400 LMY47O from LRX21P is that correct?

3. Do I need to root/unlock boot loader to my phone if I'm just trying to reinstall the stock firmware. I think the answer is no but would like a more experienced user to confirm with me

Hello, I have a GT-I9500 that's rooted. I want to unroot it so I can upgrade to Android Lollipop. Do I need to reset the binary counter? I don't care for the warranty.
[Galaxy S 4 General] timba_bng:
You can download the firmware update from sammobile.com and flash with Odin. No need to unroot
[Galaxy S 4 General] Mo Neenja31:
Is this firmware update stable? Is it official? Also, how much bloatware does it have?
[Galaxy S 4 General] timba_bng:
Yes, the firmwares are official and stable but they come fully loaded with bloatwares.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Mo Neenja31:
OK ok. I have one more question. Is there an alternative place to download the firmware since my download either fails is takes really long from sammobile? Also After I update can I flash Omega?

[Galaxy S 4 General] MeltdownSpectre:
You need to extract the modem from the stock ROM, flash it separately through Odin and reboot.

IMEI should be back.

You shouldn't have downgraded without reading about this. Its a vital step when downgrading the I9500 back to KK.

Wifi doesn't work

I wanted to go from 12.1 cm to stock firmware, and so I did. But I did not know what firmware to take, I took a firmware appearing opposite Romania my country, but I think I chose well. Now wifi does not work anymore. I chose Vodafone firmware, now I will try to flash all the firmware for Romania, but not be of any operator.

I can help myself and someone?

I tried almost all methods, except for the root and delete a particular file.

I removed the battery, I removed the SIM card, I removed micro SD, I made initialization to factory settings a couple of times, and nothing worked.

My goal is to be able to sell the phone, now with this problem, is not good for me either :(

Hello, do you have a stock for Romania - Orange carrier I9500?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 General] GalaxyDave:
Hi guys, After reading several pages, I thought it best to ask based on my scenario, as others solutions differed.

I have two or three issues at the moment I am trying to resolve by "restoring" to official. Could someone tell me if I need to do more than just the PDA file for fixing these issues?

Issue #1

Undo the damage of Pry-Fi?

I just installed it and I should have read the last 3-4 pages (100's to read). So many people complaining about it. My device is listed as compatible, but not the exact model - not exactly great of the dev to not list the model numbers against the tested devices.

I've just performed a nandroid backup via TWRP and selected 5 options from recovery. I did another backup from Live mode and selected all 7 options. So have two backups of a dodgy system.

Issue #2

Some of the newly created files seem to be corrupt after reboot -- perhaps created 20-60 mins before it crashes! Example: a dozen APK's created by backing up apps. They show icons and names, but then after crashing (quick reboot) half are corrupt with same file sizes! Appears to occur on SD Card.

Issue #3

Keeps preventing me from writing to external SD! Never had this issuue since unlocking ext sd.

So I am assuming I need to wipe data/cache, xxx......, xxx.... and then flash both PDA and CSC? Or just PDA? I have no idea on the exact steps to resolve...

I have downloaded a 1GB AP/CP (PDA) file (OPS-I9505XXUGNH6-20141027154240.zip) containing a 1gb .tar.MD5 file and a DLL file.

In ODIN, do I add more than just the PDA file?

My Device Build Fingerprints

samsung/jfltexx/jflte:4.4.2/KOT49H/I9505XXUGNH6:user/release-keys
Boot loader / Radio: I9505XXUGNH6
CSC: I9505OPSGNH2

I could only find one resource that matched. All XDA forum threads have had download links deleted.

>> sammobile.com/firmwares/download/37801/I9505XXUGNH6_I9505OPSGNH2_OPS/

Would really appreciate feedback on getting everything back to stock to resolve WiFi issues and strange file/folder issues, new empty directories U01511~1 and UACKUP~1 for example, and corrupt files too (same file size, no icon and corrupt - zip's, apk's...).

Thank you very much.

Im hoping someone can shed some light to me. My dad has the USA model MetroPCS GT-i9500 which I rooted then flashed Exodus 5.1.1 custom ROM, but after that, all the callers would hear an echo on their phone so this was a problem. I then tried flashing CM12.1 and the same thing happened. At this point I wanted to flash it back to stock but for the life of me I cannot find a USA region stock firmware. Could someone point me in the right direction where I can download a US firmware for the GT-i9500 please?

I flashed an Argentina one but the phone goes into random resets and the WiFi didnt work.

Pit file for i9505XXUHOJ2

I have a hand-me-down 16gb LTE GT-i9505 from my son in London. (I'm in Australia). After a system crash during an OTA update I was unable to flash with Kies or Odin; tried different computers and OS's so then tried with heimdall using a downloaded pit file and the stock rom (i9505XXUHOJ2) from Sammobile. I don't know whether the pit file was suitable for my 16gb S4 or not, but heimdall still wouldn't flash the unzipped rom until I created a heimdall package with it. Even then, heimdall reported a failure to flash after successfully flashing eg one partition, so I just kept stopping and reconnecting to heimdall (Linux Mint 64 bit) until all partitions one at a time until all seemed to flash. Very messy process! (On my part not really understanding what I was doing)

Now my phone is crashing and rebooting constantly after working ok for a couple of weeks. This was the same issue that led me to update in the first place. I replaced with new battery. No change.

I thought trying to reinstall again with a correct pit file this time might help. I'm thinking hardware problems after that as it also crashes in recovery and reboots.

Can someone direct me to a correct pit file ? - I am not sure whether the one listed in OP is for Android 4+ only, or that even if it matters what put I use.

My hardware details are:

Device type: jflte

Name: jfltexx

Qcom/MSM8960 (32BIT)

msm8960/apq8064

GPU adreno 320

Modem: mdm9215m

Repartition question with Odin

I apologise if this question asked before, thread search was not working.

I am repartitioning and reinstalling stock firmware downloaded with Samfirm and using Odin 3.10.7. I am doing this to correct any errors that may be causing my endless reboots in both system and also recovery after an OTA trashed my system recently( even Odin would not flash), but not ever in Download mode. I ticked the repartition box in Odin, but there is no indication in the log output that it has in fact repartitioned (the actual flash went fine and Odin reported PASS).

My question is, does Odin indicate when repartitioning had been done because I also tried repartitioning and flashing in Linux with Heimdall and the Pit file upload failed - even when extracted directly from the official firmware. But it also would not reupload the pit file downloaded from the phone. (very odd).

I have attached a text file of the log output from Odin and also a screen shot of Odin after flashing and would be very grateful if someone knowledgable in these things would scan over them and let me know if repartitioning really did occur.

Yes i already did. And Odin also Checks the MD and this was also ok!

Could it be that it is a wrong firmware?!?

So maybe is there a protection inside Odin, that it is only possible to flash fw which are supported by my phone?
