Try flashing the file in my last post, but if you did get the NE5 baseband which is kk then this NA3 modem might not work as it updates to the newer baseband the bootloader and you cannot go back..unless i can get a NE5 baseband the modem for the NE5 update..then it might work to get the wifi etc back..but i do not have the modem from the NE5 one yet. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Audeath:
Oh man im deeper in the **** than i thought then haha Do you know if some people in the scene are trying to dump that NE5 file so far?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] starmaster10:
Did you ever try flashing this rom ROOT_JDQ39.I527MVLUBNA3.tar rom by [MENTION=3499995]krazykipa[/MENTION] as this is the full rooted rom and is a rogers rom but will still work on the bell version and if not you can try flashing it as it is the 4.2.2 NA3 stock rom..just unpack it once you have i downloaded and then the flash the file with odin...do a wipe of data, system, dalvik etc like a factory reset and then flash it..if you can do a backup first or if you have one already then you can restore instead of flashing this rom..but if no backup you can still flash it..but i will leave that decision up to you. ;)

I wonder you must have the NE5 baseband and i will snoop around if i can find one but i do not know of anyone with the NE5 dump..
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Audeath:
Im actually running on that ROM you just mentionned from krazykipal and at least it helped me in booting the device beyond knox but im now stuck with no baseband and no sound so far. That's actually where i am right now in my attempt to make my device work hehe I've tried CM11 custom rom too and noticed no difference about the hardware malfunction so i preferred sticking back to the krazykipa Rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] starmaster10:
Forsure then that rom will get you booting then, but it sure sounds like you got the NE5 update with no sound etc, it does the same when i go back to the original rom which was MH1 from NA3 no sound etc..i cannot update to the NE5 due to my phone being custom recovery etc so far and i cannot seem to get the factory recovery flash back as the TWRP recovery always come back after a stock recovery flash..but i will see if i can find this NE5 dump/file. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Audeath:
Thanks alot man! At least i know that for now i can just sit and wait and i'll stop wasting my time on this haha

I'll try to find anything about it too, luckily for me that is not my main device i have my S3 as my cellphone. I can imagine that there's some angry people out there having no more phone because of a stupid buggy samsung update.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] starmaster10:
Sounds good and forsure there were a few f-bombs said about this new kk update. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] lehuutai130:
So when you can find the fix for the NE5, please let us know. I'm waiting for that too. My phone is still dead like no signal, no wifi. It becomes so useless right now thanks to knox
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] cptcanuck:
I have just spent 2 days on this, ive flashed everything known to man, is there any way to reomove the knox bootloader and go back to jellybean?

just some background i have a koodo sgh-i527m i replaced the screen for my friend and then it was all good untill he updated to kk. i then had to hot swap his screen everytime he reset the phone, i tried reflashing the firmware and rooting then all this started now im getting the imagesize error. i did have it working on cm11 but no wifi cell or anything. no baseband no imei. any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Audeath:
Yeah i bet! By the way do you know if installing Android on a phone without a sim card in it can influence anything about the baseband etc? Cause my device doesnt have a sim card and i was wondering if it can cause detection problem when installing new Roms/Kernel/ etc?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] lehuutai130:
Up until now, your phone basically useless because of: no phone signal, no wifi. And based on the whole thread, there is no one still able to figure it out with the updated NE5 modem. So just sit and wait. And it is useless to send back to samsung service because they will require the charge of 250$ to fix the phone. So right now your phone is trash in the mean time. My advice is keep the phone and bought another phone which is not samsung ^^

Hi, I have a favor to ask if possible which I think could help a lot of people in here. However, I'm not sure that it can be done or not because I'm not an expert in rom. So basically, you updated to the newest 4.4.2 with the new baseband have NE5. Is there anyway you can backup the your current working rom right now and share it to other people right now. The reasons I ask this is because I lot of people updated to the newest baseband and got stuck here after trying custom rom or go back to the original. The problem is they don't release the current rom for flash yet. So I'm not sure with the backup rom, it might help people or not but I'm just asking to seek help from you because it is really can save a lot of people if the method works. Thanks so much and hope you have a great day
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] cptcanuck:
I was wondering if we had someone create a updated Odin flash able firmware with the new 4.4.2 if that would work just to get it back up and going?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] starmaster10:
Having no sim card does not influence anything that i know of as i been installing roms on phones without sim card quite often and they all turn out fine, it is this knox crap that is making it difficult as once you upgrade there is no going back to the previous rom..this only applies to if knox is present as each new update since knox was put into the rom you cannot go back to the last knox rom as the bootloader does not allow it to go back, nothing yet on the NE5 dump yet.

Knox is present in your phone already as it is in the bootloader as that is part of the update and rooting that i know of is not available yet for the kk rom..we need to get a system dump from your phone if possible..but without root i am not sure if it is possible..will have to look into that aspect of it. :fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Audeath:
Thank you to everybody who are looking around for ways to fix this, cant wait to have my i527m up and running again! hehe
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Audeath:
Anyone have any news about getting a working NE5 Baseband and Rom for this device? At least i can play some games on the rooted device (without sound and wifi) hahaha
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] starmaster10:
Not yet as it is hard to find someone with a NE5 kk rom on the i527m..I am still experienenting with my backup i527m mega...but this is the mega I will be selling in a bit and I do not want to brick it or it not loading when I sell it as it is like a new phone again since I replaced most of the phone parts with new ones. .but I am still looking. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] SaHiLzZ:
If I get my hands on a working KitKat mega for a little bit, what commands can I run to produce this.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Dave_N:
Thanks to the guys who posted the fixes for this phone. I had tried to install the original firmware and I ended up with the fffffxc resolution error. I used the fix with Odin then I installed twrp and Beanstalk ROM and its running perfectly. I just can't get network signal with sim card, but WiFi is working. Thanks again to all the developers on xda. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Audeath:
Is that Beanstalk rom uses Ne5?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] lehuutai130:
Hi can you more specific about the fix Odin and the Beanstalk ROM. Can you post the link about these two for us so that we can test.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Dave_N:
Thank you guys for posting these fixes. They fixed the 0xffffffc Knox errors perfectly. For anyone else who flashed the original firmware and got stuck with 'image size too large' flash these files with Odin and your phone will work again. I installed twrp then beanstalk ROM and my Mega is working perfectly. :)

---------- Post added at 05:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 PM ----------

My baseband is Na3 and the Beanstalk ROM is for the i9205.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] starmaster10:
Well the command lines to get these system files which are below..but these are used on a rooted phone that has the command terminal app like JS Terminal and it will save it to the internal sdcard..this works on the NA3 based rom as rooting is possible, but with the NE5 based rom it cannot be done at this time due to the phone not being rooted, there is suppose to be a way to do it with a pc connected to the phone..but i have never done it before..but i will check into it and see what i come up with. :good:

i tired your file and kernal file and i flashed it and i got a message say display image to large
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bmesta:
i just attempted to downgrade my sgh-i527m to 4.2 and got stuck in the image file size too large error. I'm such an idiot. I should have informed myself more about the knox flag :( Anyways I have been able to flash philz_touch_6.41.6-meliusltexx.tar successfully with odin 3.09. I have also been able to install cm11 on it but my wifi doesn't work and my imei is unknown. I have a friend that has the same phone as me and is running 4.4.2. I was wondering if it will be possible to clone his rom or do a nandoird backup of his device and restore it on my phone? I was thinking of doing this through philz touch recovery. If this works i would be more than happy to share it. Im with rogers by the way
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Audeath:
Every bit of hope is appreciated haha
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] SaHiLzZ:
Try command above
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bmesta:
Sorry which command are you referring to?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] SaHiLzZ:
the ones listed above, but wait, phone is not rootable yet. dont bother, can't run.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] kyleshazam:
So I made the terrible mistake of thinking I know more than I do about this kind of stuff and tried rooting my device and have found myself at the image size too large error.

Any chance someone could explain these instructions in more laymens terms for a dumb dumb like myself.

it would be greatly appreciated.

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Dave_N:
Starmaster and Krazykipa posted the pit file and modem file that you have to flash with odin. Click re-partition. I quoted the files in a post on page 50 of this thread. This will clear the 0xffffffffc brick and make your phone work again. I installed beanstalk rom and the mega is perfect now.

https://mega.co.nz/#!ocN13LDJ!y3mJEVVENBXy7ygu5rVHeBDTLR3Ry0oOesILkJQWZEA

Here are the files that you guys have to flash with odin. Download the pit file and the modem/tz file. Open the pit file in the pit file section of odin and check repartition. Open the modem/tz file in the pda section of odin and flash both the pit file and modem/tz file at the same time. Then flash twrp recovery and flash beanstalk rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] kyleshazam:
This method is not working for me, when I attempt to do this I get an error on my phone stating

Followed the steps and was lucky enough to fix baseband and imei to original with full sound and wifi.. no errors except i believe in previous posts someone mentioned that the imei is stuck on some other network. by using command *#272*IMEI# and tried to put it back on RWC but now it goes to recovery and hangs.

recovery booting... in blue

set warranty bit : recovery - in yellow

any help would be appreciated.. thanks

HOW TO FIX RECOVERY?:confused:

Hey to unbrick my phone was there an odin flashable file?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] demogen:
I tired that number and nuttin
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] demogen:
That's the problem need files to restore
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] JaeRite:
Check page 50. there are 3 files you will need to upload via hiemdall.. and phone will turn back on...
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] cptcanuck:
when i use hiemdall it tells me invalid code --tz ?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] JaeRite:
When you download the heimdall software in the folder there is a file called ziadig.. use it to install the drivers correctly.. Also read the readme file it will help you correct that problem. it took me couple of tries but finally it was a success..

put the pit file and choose re-partition. under on next section choose modem.. and direct the file to it.. also then select tz. and select the correct mbn file..

I am sure you downloaded all 3 but you are not just putting them in the program correctly..

good luck.,..

ps: let me know if your recovery is working after success... i know the phone will boot with all imei and baseband corrected.. but recovery seems to be giving me problems.

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] cptcanuck:
If we did the update to kitkat would the baseband be ne5?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] starmaster10:
If you are on NE5 kk now and you tried to downgrade back to NA3 this will happen to you no baseband imei number etc..and at this rime there is still no fix for this as we need a NE5 kk rom system dump but with the NE5 rom the phone cannot be rooted which is needed to get the system dump..I am still looking in it..but I have not come across anything at this time.

But hopefully soon I can maybe find something. .this new kk update is a pain in the butt to figure out..but I will keep trying. :)

If you can find me the download for the Canadian stock kit Kat rim I'll flash on my phone and test I need the files to fix efs and base band and everything else with hammerhead file for root

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] lehuutai130:
Ok I will try again. May I ask you one question ?

What rom were your phone in when you flash the hemidall file ? Is is the stock rom or the root rom: ROOT_JDQ39.I527MVLUBNA3.tar.

Does anyone have a fix yet? I have the 4.4.2 stock when I got the "image too large" error. Now that I got it successfully turned on functional, I have no wifi, or network, and probably a lot more. Please help. I believe I need the NE5 modem?

If it can be rooted, then all of the problems can be solved such as no wifi, no imei, no sound because you can extract the dumb file after rooting based on starmaster10

If anyone tries please let us know. Thanks

I didn't do anything. The only thing is the suggest only. My phone also faces the same problem. The starmaster10 suggest a possible fix if there is a way to root 4.4.2 NE5 modem on this phone i527m. I found this and not sure how it works. If anyone tries, please let people know. Thanks

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] lehuutai130:
Your phone is now bricked and become useless. What you can do is now sitting and wait until samsung releases the official 4.4.2 rom that you can flash. There's nothing we can do right now except waiting and we have already waited for that for 3 months already. My advice: buy another phone to use right now and sell it back when the fix is available. I always check the release often on sammobile and will let people know when it is released

Hello all.

I am new to all this. I actually came from an iPhone and got the mega on a whim last Christmas. earlier this year I updated to 4.4.2 OTA. I'm with Rogers (i527m) locked.

I decided to root it and I looked around, I found these instructions:

http://tech.gamotech.com/install-android-4-4-kitkat-galaxy-mega/

I ended up rooting (I guess) CM11 following these instructions:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2566642

Everything worked until I got ballsy and I tried other ROMs. In one of these, I lost the root, and I got my phone bricked. So I flashed 4.2.2 and lost IMEI, base band, everything.

So now I just have to wait until 4.4.2 firm ware comes out and that will fix everything?
