Hi guys, Ive just bought a new Samsung Galaxy S4
I had the s3 and loved it but thought id get the S4, (I'm on the Three network UK If this helps)
Anyway with the s3 i rooted it, Installed CF Root, and siyah kernel and worked a treat
So when i had my S4 today i thought id root it, So i followed this video: youtube.com/watch?v=vlsO5o_-CI8 did everything and everything worked fine, then i thought oh ill put the siyah kernel on from here d-h.st/users/siyah/s3 and was completely in a daze didn't even read where it said s3 or anything (Yes i know im thick as two short blanks but i do apologize in advance) and when i flashed the siyah kernal it got stuck on the booting screen where it says Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 and nothing is budging it, nothing at all.
Anyway so i looked at troubleshooting things and here's what i have tried
*Taking Battery out
* Recovery mode (Power, Home and Volume Up button) clicked factory reset wipe data etc
So im out of options and in desperate need of help as i dont know what else to do so im desperate, i know im a dope for installing something but as i said i was in a daze and just doing it automatically which i know is no excuse but i am sorry.
So can anyone help as i do hope so,
Thanks in advance
Sorry Guys Its the Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-i9505 not the i9500, Its the i9505,
Apologies

it should, because you flashed wrong kernel,
if not, you have to flash the whole stock firmware
Nope the kernal didnt work, So gonna have to try the stock firmware,
that would should 100% work is it?

yes.
maybe you have a corrupted partition due to the wrong flash so you need a pit file with the firmware, see my signature for tutorial
Im reading it now you know where it says: Step 4) unzip the downlowded file (from second or third post), u will get a Home.tar file.
Where do i get that file from what second or third post?

first flash the firmware as pda in odin, if odin gives you "no pit file" when flashing, so you must put I9505 pit file in odin as pit with the firmware as pda and flash. (all explanations are mentioned in my thread :good
Ok downloading the stock fw now ok, ill keep ya updated
thank you thank you thank you, ur a legend it works!!!

yes i try nothing happen
any other IDEA ??
any one have solution...??
To start off with there's no jellybean for galaxy y - it's probably a themed Gingerbread rom
Status 7 means the zip you are trying to flash in Cwm is corrupted or the update script is wrong
Don't know what it means in odin but I'm guessing wrong firmware or you haven't split it into its 3 parts for odin use
You need to flash stock rom via odin from the following thread - choose the firmware from your geographical region
Unzip firmware
Place
pda in pda
Modem in phone
csc in csc

You can only try different things
all odin flashable firmware is on the thread iv given you
The latest firmware is on sammobile.com however it is not odin flashable - you need to use the split tool (link on thread iv already given you) To create an odin flashable pack
search sammobile.com for your phone model number eg GT-S5360 in my case but yours will your duos gt-number

AND stay tuned. Nothing jellybean compatible with the SGY.
never go to Samsung care
guess what today i go to Samsung care to fix my phone ( if u read this thread so u know very well why i go ).
i just go there and said him to flash my phone .
he said price for flash phone is Rs.300
i say ok .
than he come after 5 minutes and say your phone can't restore if u want than change your mother board of your phone its price he said Rs.1500
i take my phone and go to other mobile shop and tell him to flash my phone and my phone fix in only Rs.150
so never go to Samsung care unless your phone is in warranty .

Oh I wasn't bothered with that post - I found that quite amusing that someone who works in samsung care couldn't perform a basic flashing task even with extra hardware equipment
I quoted the person under that who said flash stock rom via odin as they had clearly not read the thread & the fact your problem is now solved
*XSA Galaxy s4*
alright! lets just start off by saying im an android noob. i have minimal basic knowledge of installing a custom rom, but i picked it up very quickly. tried installing cyanogen mod, screwed up, tried booting phone, didnt work. wiped the system, didnt work. used odin, that didnt work and now i'm at "firmware upgrade encountered an issue." i cannot connect the phone to kies, so i cannot do a emergency reboot. (Does anyone know the reboot code?) then I tried using odin again, and that says "failed (auth)" I read on one of the threads that instead of the mdr file that it might be an me7 (i think)?
dont worry i've learnt my lesson, i just want my phone back :/
im so upset and angry at myself, the phone is only 2 weeks old
please help..

you can always just flash the stock rom again with odin as long as you can get into download mode but you loose your data.
are you on 4.4.2 kitkat ? because if so, you need a new version of twrp (or use cwm). there is an unoffical version that supports kk and also the original twrp will get an update soon. theres currently a test build, look at the official thread.
dont use it if you are still on 4.3 !
I really really wish people would search and read before messing with their devices... this is the 800th thread on this again.
Take your battery out, and wait for 60seconds, put back in and try to boot into recovery mode, wipe cache and boot up - OR reflash Stock again.
PS: If you have a Hong Kong Note, you need to go off and read... cause you've made a massive mistake playing.

Hi, I've a serious problem with my S4 and I hope you can help me to solve it:good:...
I had a samsung stock 4.3 with frequent crash and soft reboot, so i decided to do a wipe (in setting menu), but nothing change.
Then I've flash the KK fw I9505XXUFNB8_I9505BTUFNB3_I9505XXUFNB8_HOME.tar.md5 without pit and re-partition, the process was complete without error but the phone wasn't started and remain stuck on Samsung Galaxy s4. In recovery there are these errors:
Recovery 3e
Philz Touch Recovery
I've retry many many many time to do a wipe data and cache in recovery, try to flash many other firmware with and without pit file, change recovery, flash in odin only pda and with 4 files with/without pit, but i can't find a solution...every time i've the same errors and the phone doesn't start...
If I poll out the battery for a long time (at least 5-6 hours), sometimes start with animated Samsung logo and music and with the control of the installed application, but during the progress it crashes and I must reboot :crying:

Ok, because s4 black mist and s4 black edition are 2 different devices....when download is finished, finally i'll try...
i dont understand where the problem is ?
first of all you need to know your Model Number, for example : i9505, after that you search for an Odin Rom, like I9505XXUFNB8_I9505BTUFNB3_I9505XXUFNB8_HOME.tar.md5. Then you reboot your device in "DOWNLOAD mode", flash the Odin Rom via Odin and everything is fine...
Your problem is, you dont even know what device you got and you try to flash something you have found in here... thats really not that intelligent...

Yeah, you right. @Repulsa was pasting u this link, but Im not sure about coz I was reading this:
"This firmware build has the same changelist to the later update of the original Galaxy S4 LTE GT-I9505 with has the firmware build numbers I9505XXUEMKF. So again, those who got the dark-blue Black Mist and off-white White Frost Galaxy S4 I9505 variants should refrain from installing this firmware build for this is not for your LTE GT-I9505 devices. If you read somewhere else that this is an update for your device you may already have seen it on Kies or OTA. Kies will only tells you that you have the latest software update if you currently runs on Android 4.3 I9505XXUEMKF. Again, those who got the original GT-I9505 LTE, this update is only rolled out in Nordic regions for now, but let’s wait and see this coming few days if we may also have this update arrive in our areas."

So again, those who got the dark-blue Black Mist and off-white White Frost Galaxy S4 I9505 variants should refrain from installing this firmware build for this is not for your LTE GT-I9505 devices. If you read somewhere else that this is an update for your device you may already have seen it on Kies or OTA. Kies will only tells you that you have the latest software update if you currently runs on Android 4.3 I9505XXUEMKF. Again, those who got the original GT-I9505 LTE, this update is only rolled out in Nordic regions for now, but let’s wait and see this coming few days if we may also have this update arrive in our areas."

Eyy, you dont get it, arent you ? I got the same device like you, an international S4 Black mist model number : i9505. Noone is talking about a black or red or yellow edition .... whats your model number ? remove your battery and look it up..
If you flashed this rom :
I9505XXUFNB8_I9505BTUFNB3_I9505XXUFNB8_HOME.tar.md 5

then you should be fine, cause i did it myself and everything was working correctly, so my next thought is that you dont even got the i9505, because this rom should work just like every other rom.

Yes. Use Odin 3.09 or higher to do it. Make sure to power OFF the phone first then go to download mode with vol down, home, power buttons.

Yes it should be safe. do not check re-partition, put the firmware in the ap slot and wait for odin to validate the md5. if unsure, check the q&a thread for more information on installing firmware.
