Flash stock rom again using odin 3.09, a rear usb desktop port if you are using a front usb dsktp port, and a different samsung data cable such as s2 or s3 data cable instead s4 stock white cable.

I don't have any other Samsung cables, I have other USB cables, but not Samsung.

Before flashing the stock ROM, I wipe/factory reset in CWM, and wipe dalvik cache.

Is there anything else I should be doing?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaswinky:
Some people have fixed a similar problem by using rear usb port and a different sub data cable (try a non Samsung anyway). Some stock data cables are coming with some fail...

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingmatt86:
I used a different cable, it comes up with the same problems.

These are the steps I followed.

* Open Odin 3.09

* "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" are ticked

* Click "AP"

* Select I9505XXUEMK9_I9505VFGEMK2_I9505XXUEMK9_HOME.tar.md5

* Put S4 in Download Mode, Power button and Down-Volume button.

* Connect with new cable, Press start.

I have the modem - I9505XXUEMK9_MODEM

I used the "CP" Option in ODIN To flash the modem.

Are all these steps correct?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joku1981:
Yes, but remember modem sometimes is stubborn :eek:. Follow this steps:

1. Use Odin v3.09

2. Untick Autoreboot

3. Flash modem (Usign CP button)

4. Reboot manually (Take the battery off) and go into Download Mode then (using Vol Down plus Home button combi)

5. Flash Modem once more

6. Once done, unplug then reboot device manually.

7. If this doesn't work, try repeating the flash process again while rebooting manually and with auto-reboot option turned off.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingmatt86:
I repeated steps 1-6 twice, still nothing :(

So if I take it to a SAT (Phone repair shop?) What exactly do they need to do to fix it?

I presume they don't just wave a magic wand :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joku1981:
They will take a look ramdomly ur phone. They will try to reflash/reset it (with own/samsung software programs) for try to revive ur machine. If they can't do nothing, they will send it to one company that normally repairs hardware and pieces. This is a big crap coz maybe u will have to wait 2 weeks or more depending of them. Good luck :highfive:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaswinky:
If you flash I9505XXUEMK9_I9505VFGEMK2_I9505XXUEMK9_HOME.tar.md5 file in AP you don't need to flash the modem, because it is included on AP md5 file. Maybe you could be corromping something. Just flash md5 file.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaswinky:
mmmm... I have got a S2 since several years and now also a s4, a lot of custom rom and modem flashed, but I have never seen that screen... ¿Where do you got that info? At download mode? After rebooting???

mmm.. Ok, I can see in your first post you actually have CM11 kit kat ROM installed, is it? Maybe this CM11 ROM is based on stock 4.2.2 I9505XXUAMDD ROM, and after flashing your md5 file with 4.3 I9505XXUEMK9 you still have XXUAMDD ROM... in other words, flashing process failed.

What messages you get in download mode screen and in odin when flashing? Any error?

Maybe you need to search for stock I9505XXUAMDD ROM, flash it with the same procedure, and then flash XXUAMDD ROM, but it is important you catch the error messages both in odin and in the device while download mode.

---------- Post added at 01:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:54 AM ----------

Maybe you should post it on CM11 thread and just ask how to back to stock rom, and if same procedure you are trying, expose your problem there.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingmatt86:
OK, So I've downloaded the following file from Sammobile -

Model: GT-I9505

Country: United Kingdom (Vodafone)

Version: Android 4.3

Changelist: 2082040

Build date: Thu, 21 Nov 2013 06:20:53 +0000

Product Code: VOD

PDA: I9505XXUEMK9

CSC: I9505VFGEMK2

MODEM: I9505XXUEMK9

DOWNLOAD: Terafile

Originally, my device is a United Kingdom, Vodafone Galaxy S4 GT-i9505.

So As far as I can see, the downloaded file above is exactly correct?

It's a stock rom, no cm11. Does it include the correct modem and flash it?

With this, I use Odin 3.09, click AP and fire away.

When it is complete( No errors in Odin ), I have the following problems.

No signal.

Baseband = Unknown.

Wifi-won't turn on.

Microphone app won't work.

Speaker doesn't play any sound.

What am I doing wrong?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaswinky:
You did correctly in a normal situation, but what I told you in my post #25 was no exatly that, but flash first I9505XXUAMDD ROM (the same base rom you had with CM11) and then try to update to 4.3. I said that because I wanted to go out from CM11 to stock by the opposite procedure you take when installed CM11, it is, come back to stock I9505XXUAMDD ROM and then do what ever you want...

You did it directly, but in any case it neither is wrong. Anyway it is too late to flash I9505XXUAMDD ROM because now you have 4.3 bootloader and that ptohibe to you toi install any stock 4.2.2.

In this point, I only left to advice this:

1) Be sure you have last drivers (you know it if you have install in your PC Kies 3, the only kies that works with S4 4.3 ROM). Odin will not flash S4 correctly with previous kies drivers.

2) If your PC is a desktop, try flashing the last ROM you flashed using a USB from rear the CPU instead one of the front.

3) If you have a different data cable than your stock s4 cable, try using it to flash again the last ROM you flashed.

If all this don't work for you (mainly first point), sorry, but you only left SAT.

PLEASE HELP ME

I changed the battery of my Samsung and my phone got stuck on boot Modus. it shows the Samsung logo and then again the blue Rotation Samsung (whatever that is, i think every Samsung Shows it)

So it just keeps switching from one Samsung logo to another. I have installed SuperBean ROM Version from zai89 and havent done a backup lately. do you know what i could do now without losing all my data? I don't know my kernal Version and am desperate as hell..

I have been reading threw some Threads and read that I should Mount internal storage in recovery and copy all my files off. How exactly do I do that?

After that someone said full wipe and flash new ROM with Odin. But is that even possible if I don't know my Kernal Version?

As you can read I'm a noob, please explain step by step. I'm thankful for every answer!

Install adb drivers if you don't already.

Boot into recovery and and connect phone to pc.

Go to mounts and storage menu and unmount cache and data.

Open command prompt on pc a type adb shell. You should see a # symbol.

Then type

e2fsck -f -c -y /dev/block/mmcblk0p10

Once this is done, Wipe cache and dalvik and reboot. It. Might do a lot of things, wait till you get the # prompt back.

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redomix:
i think you should flash TWRP or clockworkmod, make a backup of your files also the present rom,

After that, flash with a new rom like Cyanogenmod 10.2 from Maclaw and revert with the difference, maybe the problem will be fixed..

Hey Brother,

Very Welcome, yes i've seen the videos, try to mount the internal sdcard with android recovery and copy the twrp recovery, or use another phone and copy the twrp file onto external SD Card, there's an option on recovery called update.zip flash with it,

if there's no change at all, try to flash it with ODIN.. if it don't recognize due to absence of USB Debugging, there's a tool called Samsung GS3 Mini ToolKit. maybe can help you. if not try with samsung KIES .. if also nothing helped you at this point, search around the internet for your problem, maybe you can find some useful help..

thanks again.. ;)
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PTGamer:
actually its really simple to solve this problem...

1 - download and install the samsung drivers from here (http://get.maclaw.pl/?id=61)

2 - download odin here and install it.

3 - reboot your pc (this is the easy way to kill all kies processes and unwanted things) and make shure that kies dont start with windows.(if you have it installed)

4 - download this http://get.maclaw.pl/?id=301 (its the maclaw cm 4.4.2 for odin with the recovery twrp)

5 - flash the phone with odin(FOR THIS YOU NEED TO BOOT THE PHONE IN DOWNLOAD MODE, just boot the phone pressing POWER+VOLUME DOWN AND THE HOME BUTTON until a triangle and a warning appears follow maclaws guide -> http://maclaw.pl/installation-guide-golden/)... as soon as the flash finishes you'll be trapped in a boot loop (missing GAPPS)

just try to boot it the system should crash dont worry you're on the good way.

5.2 - remove the battery and put it back in (now you phone should be off)

6 - reboot on the new recovery that comes with the maclaw Rom you've just flashed for that you need to press POWER + VOLUME UP AND HOME BUTTON and mount you SD CARD.(you phone sould appear on you pc as a storage device or something like that)

7 - download this GAPPS here(http://get.maclaw.pl/?id=164)

8 - copy the downloaded GAPPS to you phone.

9 - go back to the 1st menu of the TWRP (a.k.a recovery) and you should see a thing saying install zip or flash zip (something like that)

9.2 - select the Gapps you've downloaded and flash it.

9.3 - after the flash finish select reboot system

9.4 - phone should start installing updates after the reboot

10 - wait until it finishes and the problem should be solved. now you can go back to the stock rom or stay with this rom.

the problem here is there's an app causing that problem. i had the same problem a few months ago.

the phone whould just crash or not function at all, rebooting all the time or from time to time...(it was one of the games i've installed from market)

after the phone is working dont install apps from unknow developers. even if it is from the market (believe wen i say you can get apps from the market that makes you're phone to malfunction).

Hey guys.

I have a S3 mini GT i8190 running rooted stock Android 4.1.2 and I have the exact same problem as OP. To clarify, the phone constantly reboots within a few mins of booting up, and what's strange is that it always boots in exactly the same state. It's almost as if it's "stuck in time". Whenever I boot up my phone, I receive the same Whatsapp messages I received when the problem first started (3 days ago), and any changes I make to the phone will simply not occur the next time it reboots. I even booted in Safe Mode, and uninstalled many apps, but when I reboot again these apps are still there. The phone reboots in exactly the same state as it was when the problem first occurred, regardless of what changes I make.

I have tried flashing Maclaw's CM 11 with CWM - it does nothing, still boots the same stock ROM and still in the same state.

Tried flashing Maclaw's CM11 with ODIN - nothing.

I've tried flashing TWRP with ODIN - but recovory mode still loads CWM (I had CWM on my phone before this problem started)

I agree that I think the problem is caused by some faulty app from the market. I will try using the PTGamer's method above and will let you guys know if it helped. In the meantime, any assistance would be highly appreciated. I'm kinda desperate here :) Thanks.

Edit: Realised PTGamer's method is basically the same as what I've already tried. Will try again anyway.

Edit 2: Still having the same problem. Someone please help!

Edit 3: Some additional info that may be useful. When I wipe dalvik cache from CWM i get the following message:

"E: unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]

Dalvik Cache wiped."

Not sure if that means dalvik cache was actually wiped or if there was an error.

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GOAgola:
Can one phone have all these issues, or is it a fake?

A friend bought an S3 Mini while on travel in Dubai, to be used in Nairobi. Upon turning on, the phone goes into a random 20-30 second boot loop, with WI-FI not coming on, and instantly reboots upon trying to turn WI-FI on. When connected via USB to to a computer, the phone is not recognized, but is able to charge.

Flashing software into it via ODIN completes successfully, but upon restarting, the original problematic software somehow restores itself, exactly as it was prior to flashing. The sticker under the battery identifies the phone as GT-I8190N (NFC?) while the Samsung start-up screen says GT-1890 (no N)

Is this phone for real, or could it be a dud? If it is real, is it bricked beyond repair, or is there any hope for its recovery.
