Hi,

Thank you for being here to help. I will try again. Do you know a site where it doesn't take 8-20 h to download the firmware?
[Galaxy S 4 General] samersh72:
dont try with the mk9 firmware, it will not succeed.

download a 4.4.2 firmware from second post of this thread and flash it.
[Galaxy S 4 General] katiana:
In the file I downloaded from the second post is 4 files + odin so first I got confused if I should put them all there, but I only put the AP named file.

Then odin says:

The phone comes on normally, but samsung keyboard, google play and youtube app force stop over and over again. When I shut down the phone, it vibrates. I havent had stock android for some time, but if i remember right it is not supposed to vibrate when shutting down.

I tried factory data reset, didnt help. I got into recovery mode and did the hard reset (delete all user data), that didnt help either.

I will try again tomorrow with my friend who is way more experienced than me in this, but if anyone has the solution feel free to write it here. At least I can call with the phone now, but anything that requires the keyboard is not possible, like downloading apps, because I cant get into my google account.

Hi,

When you flashed the last firmware (the one that worked) did you wipe cache and data in recovery before and after the flash?

[Galaxy S 4 General] mike_1983:
Hi

I flashed I9505XXUFNB8_I9505BTUFNB3_BTU (stock 4.4.2) but now its saying "security notice : you devices security has blocked an action....etc" when I turn on WiFi ? I came from some custom 4.3 Rom, Do I need to flash something else to update the security?

Edit : Nevermind, flashed the ROM again and WiFi worked, I used Odin 3.09 instead of 3.10 but think its probably just a coincidence?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Winroque:
Always, when i'm going to install the stock firmware, i wipe all the partitions avaliable from TWRP menu. I never had any problem, but there are any risks by doing this?
[Galaxy S 4 General] katiana:
Should I do another reset from recovery mode, and wipe cache partition, and then put nordic stockfirmware with odin on it? This working one (with google and keyboard stopping over and over again) was the open european version, I also have the nordic downloaded.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Big Drew:
I flashed cyanogen mod 11 on my gt-i9505. I followed the tutorial word for word. Even did a nandroid back up. Didnt really like the custom ROM so tried the nandroid restore. Didn't work. Stuck with this custom ROM that I really don't like. Really want to go back to stock ROM but am wary about trying it myself. Really don't wanna brick my phone. Anyone know of anywhere in the UK that does this sort of thing. Or anyone on here willing to do it for me for a small fee ?? ;)

Would really appreciate it.
[Galaxy S 4 General] CarlM34:
Flashing Stock via Odin is really not that scary mate. The guide in the OP is great and if you follow it correctly you will have no issues! :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] Big Drew:
a I must sound like a little girl. Its just the tutorial on how to flash a custom ROM was probably the best tutorial I've ever followed. So accurate. Explaining the nandroid back up was a guaranteed fix to any problems sold it to me. However, it was not as I got an error message when trying to perform the nandroid back up. Just a bit wary.

Hello I am new here i just want to ask

I have a unit from vodafone australia(as the firmware says) BUT I can use any sim card on it (the phone was only given to me. I am not from australia)

i am wondering is it okay to flash another region that i know the camera si silent and pretty customizable?

Thanks! i hope someone could help me on this.

[Galaxy S 4 General] brandogg:
Please excuse my noobish question. I recently (today) acquired a factory unlocked (from Claro, I do not know which country, the person I got it from did not know) GT-I9505. Am I safe to flash "any" stock I9505 ROM (or custom ROM) on this phone, being as I don't know what country it came from? It has a bunch of garbage Claro apps and is missing a lot that comes on just about any GS4 that I've seen. I'd really like to flash the closest thing to a completely stock (no carrier bloat) ROM as possible. I'm pretty familiar with Odin and rooting and flashing ROMs in general, but I don't really want anything custom (aside from maybe a port of a GPE ROM) because it's for my wife and she doesn't really appreciate all the tweaks and customizations available. Thank you, and again, I apologize for my noob question.

Build number JSS15J.I9505JUEMKE is what is on it now (4.3).

Used this tread to unroot my phone..

At first i made the mistake of not wiping my phone..

Result root was gone, but my custom rom (echo rom v28.1) was still installed with all apps.. Got constant fc's and my recovery was gone.. It just wouldnt boot in recovery..

Solved it by re rooting, re installing custom recovery (twrp) this time Doing a full wipe.. Reinstalling Standard rom and everything was fine

So my advise if you want to prevent problems do a full wipe before unrooting!! Saves a lot of headache haha this little thing cost me like 4 hours to solve

Hi

I have a GT-I9500 S4, South Africa (not vodafone).

i made the mistake to update the firmware via Kies on my rooted S4. yea, totally stupid, i know.

Kies told me that it encountered a fatal error and needs to recover, so i said ok. that also failed.

I can get into Download mode.

so I set out looking for a way to try fix my fone, and found this thread.

i downloaded I9500XXUFNE7_I9500OJVFNF1_XFA from sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=32789

i used odin3 v3.09 (& v3.04 after the first few fails)

i followed the steps in your guide, using my original cable in both the front and back USB ports on my pc.

this is the message i get in odin:

my blue ID:COM at the top says 0:[COM5] - dont know if that means anything.

i have tried several times now. nothing seems to work. i cant check for any type of numbers on my phone, i can only get into download mode.

i need some help please. i hope someone can help me.

I am stuck but I am not entirely sure why.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505 and I hate the battery usage the software the phone originally come with and a colleague of mine told me to try and put on a different software so the battery doesnt run out so quick and to get rid of the annoying Andriod/Samsung applications that I do not and probably will never use.

1. Activate USB Debugging

2. Boot the phone into Download mode (Power button and down at the same time)

3. Download download.chainfire.eu/316/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.zip[/url]

5. Open Odin, plug my phone into USB cable

6. Click the AP button on Odin and then select the CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.zip file

7. Click Start

8. My phone does something and boots back up and says Updating Software and then in Odin its says PASS 02:05

9. Then I boot my phone into Recovery Mode (this is where the issue comes) I get to a screen where I have the Android man lying down with a red triangle above his stomach. And it says Android System Recover <3e> KOT49H.I9505XXUFNA5 with the options

reboot system now

apply update from ADB

apply update from external storage

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

apply update from cache

I then selected Wipe Date Factory Reset and then Wipe Cache Partition and then apply update from External Storage and select the file I9505_-_Official_Google_Edition_4.4.4_by_Jamal2367_Stable-R2 but then it does it thing but in red it says E: Footer wrong and E: signature verification failed

The phone reboots and it is still in the same OS but obviously with no data, just like a new phone.

Quiet annoying now, can somebody please let me know if I am doing something amazingly crazily wrong or is my phone at fault.
