Hello dear xdaers,
I have an n9006 which I have been using with Omega rom for quite a while. And the phone itself is a genuine n9006, not a clone, I checked the first day.
I just recently decided to get my hands on a new rom and get the kitkat feeling so I have tried some custom roms and they worked fine. Then I decided to try an AOSP rom, W03 Slimkat v23 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2638116)
This thing seems really well working for me except for one little! problem and it is the fact that there seems to be no baseband. And the status page shows unknown for practically everything except wifi.
In the light of this I panicked a bit and flashed latest stock rom from sammobile with odin. Everything works fine again (except the exclusion and the effort to make sure google services stay away. I remember struggling a lot to get google playstore and services installed. Then giving up and installing omegarom which kept me going for a while)
After this I backed up EFS and Radio from twrp recovery and flashed the W03 Slimkat v23 again, did the restore from the recovery and bam!
nothing.
Everything seems to be the same. I went back and forth between stock and slim and couldn't fix it.
The thing is I have nowhere the knowledge level of the users in this forum and I just have to learn all the things like odin and recoveries and download modes in one day and apply them. I probably am missing some fundemantal stuff. (heck I don't even know if EFS and Radio has anything to do with baseband) So please feel free to correct me on what I'm doing wrong and thanks in advance!
Update: I just tried to flash slimkat NON aosp version : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2669713
Same thing all over.
Backup EFS

Good Evening Dudes
I'm just introduced on this section and it's first time than i ve had a stuff like this awesome samsung
Smooth Fast Strong And God ! it's the beautifull customisable stock rom (it's really beautifull to compare with htc stock rom)
well the question is not here and the target also
i've never had the oppotunitities to try a CM 10.1 on any device Htc desire x hasnt official CM and not possible to port CM10.1 cauz Htc doesnt provide the kernel source.... damn
(it's was juste for put in situation)
What's the real interest -Gain can i expect with the CM10.1 on the Galaxy S4 ?
Whith this rom it's sound interesting to put a custom kernel also.
what can we do with cm 10.1 than we cannot with a stock rom ?
Yeah a know , i can make a backup on my stock rom , flash the cm 10.1 try and if doesnt like it restore to the backuped stock.
Thanks for your time
If you had any other suggestion better than the CM 10.1 (i know it s on nightlies sound like equal as alpha but
topic is open :s
Well the Stock ROM is pretty much as bloated as a whale. CM is only 200MB in size, so first of all it will save space on your internal memory. Second of all, you won't have a lot of processes running in the background like you do now, your phone will be a LOT more responsive. Ofcourse, as with any custom ROM, there will be some bugs and those ROMs will need testing and updates (that's why nightlies exist). But eventually there will be stable versions and imo, it'll beat the stock any day. On the other hand, the stock ROM has some functions like the IR blaster, the smart-pause, smart-scroll and hover function, etc. If you're a big fan of those things, stick with your Stock ROM. But if you would like to a clean, simple, bloat free and faster experience than you have now, a custom ROM is a great way to achieve it. But that's not the only thing ofcourse, CM also has some extra functions and customization options you won't find in your stock ROM, you can tweak your system quite a lot and there are some things I couldn't live without (for example swapping your menu key for your recent apps switcher, and putting the menu function on the long press ).
Thanks a lot
Sound really interesting
CM 10.1 it's more in touch with i'm looking for
The actual build of CM 10.1 can be used on a basic day usage ? or it's better to wait a few days ?
If i flash the cm now ? need also to flash another kernel or just flash the zip by philw touch recovery ?
can i come back to my stock backuped rom after if i want ? with the restore function of philz touch recovery ?
I'm using Philz Recovery too and yes you can flash CM10.1 from there (I have the latest build from June 12th on it). Before you flash, make your sure you wipe/factory reset your phone in Philz Recovery. You might also need to flash the CM10.1 rom 2 or 3 times (the second time it usually works), on the first try it always gives a Status 7 error (don't worry). Look at the thread for the Offical CM10.1 Nightlies, there's a lot information there!
It's working pretty good for me, I haven't found any major bugs so far. Just make sure you make a Nandroid backup in Philz Recovery first (and store it your external SD card for safety and to save space ofcourse ). You can always return to that backup through the restore function in Philz Recovery yes.
Also, if you update your CM10.1 with a new nightly build (for example next week, or next month), do it manually and flash it in the recovery each time. Updating it from the Settings->About->Cyanogenmod Updates menu bricked my phone today, so I guess there is still a bug there. Besides that, there are no issues what so ever according to me.
PS: You're from Liege? I'm from Genk
last question before the first try
With the original Cm we need to flash gapps separately or it's inside the rom ?
If external suppose to take the last release on goo
If I remember correctly you need to flash it separately
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
Try This one -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2296266
Yeah after flash the rom 4 times finally she install correctly ( 3 times error7 but no affraid)
Ui is clear, phone running smooth and very well no issue with wifi or 3g
The first bug i ve seen was about the carrier name -- the carrier name is showed like an id on a database (think the code for showed the cells with carrier name is not correct)
For the rest no speciq issue detected
Thanks a lot for your help
PS : i ve also find a answer to one of my question
when use cm you must flsah the gapps separately and link is coming on cyanogen page.
I ve read also than the build for the S4 T-mobile seems to work fine on this phone more bugs corrected on it ?
No trying BT for the moment cauz i dont had BT device
@disturbed : i ll try the rom linked this evening . Thanks a lot
Hey there,
I am an active reader of this forum for 4 years now - thank you for all the information - and have a uncommon problem with my nexus 4,
yesterday i upgraded my purity rom to the actual build and have no cellular connection since then 8excuse me for my english right away)
What seems to be a trivila problem is kinda tricky (of course a looked a lot for possible causes and resolves in the forum).
the problem is: i have flashe the actual bootloader, radio and made a factory image flash and my nexus is working when on stock rom.
but when i flash a custom rom - i tried purity, psx and cm 10.1 - the cellular connectivity and in some cases wifi is gone. once i flash the factory image everything is fine again.
can you imagine a possible explanation?
one more information: when flashing the new purity update, i accidentally flashed not the current one, but the 2 month old version... but i allready made a clean-flash, wiping everything and flashing just the rom.
i'm on the most recent bootloader, radio und cwm-recovery
Any idea? Thanks in advance...
alex
update to latest recovery for either cwm or twrp its a common issue that many have posted issues about
hey,
it worked, reverted to an earlier cwm build and it works again. thank you very much
I am having constant reboots with Lollipop roms. While I am setting up or operating the phone everything seems to be working fine but once left alone it will constantly reboot. I have flashed numerous custom and stock roms on my I9505 ( without much or many problems ), until I started installing lollipop. I have flashed Netanalyzer, iB4STiD and 2 versions of Danvdh ( all cm12 roms ) and have tried different recoveries ( Philz 6.07.9 & 6.15.4 as well as TWRP2.7.01 & 2.7.10 ) always with full wipes. I would greatly appreciate help with this problem.
try to use TW 2.6.3.3. Once installed and booted up, allowing the rom the setup itself for a while before you setup. Importantly, follow the install notes of the OPs with true letter n spirit. most likely you are missing something. Your problem looks weird to me.

I tried a few different recoveries but lollipop would only boot up on my I9505 using philz_touch_6.58.7-jflte.zip not sure why or if it makes a differentce but is worth a try.
This is the ROM i flashed and works great

Thankyou for your help ( will hit the thanks button ), couldn't find TWRP 2.6.3.3 for I9505 so downloaded and installed TWRP 2.6.3.1. Didn't make any difference ( was still rebooting ), but as I don't have wifi ability, I tethered through Bluetooth and let it settle/load what it needed and it is working as it should ( no reboots ).

Thanks for your reply, I finally have it working as it should ( must have needed to download/upload data to complete installation ).
Very happy with this ROM.

G'Morning everyone.
TBH it's a strange thing.
My device - Galaxy Note 3 LTE N9005 - hlte (it seems so at least...)
Droping an package of CM 14.1 nightly comes to full success, gapps the same but when it comes to install any other ROM beside of stock or mentoined before CM 14.1 it says - Error : Rom is for HLTE (aaaand 2 other) but your device is . Yes, just "your device is ." with that damn dot at end. Im using Latest TWRP, tried like 6 other versions, roms what i checked - RessurectionRemix (latest 7.X ? ... ), RR (older, 6.X ? i belive), LOS 15.1, 16 (same error on every) and ViperOS, same thing.
Any ideas ? Im losing my mind after 4 hours :c ...
Start with a rom not multiple roms .
Use the correct tools for flashing that rom . Usual is wrong TWRP.
Boot to download mode and note model first .
Suggest starting by flashing stock ron through Odin

I already mentoined, that i did it. Stock 5.1, then cm 14.1, tried 15, didnt worked, changed recovery, tried again, didnt worked. Flashed stock 5, tried 14, passed, tried 15, results as in 1st post, flashed stock again, tried firstly 15, unsuccesful, and so on ... Nor TWRP, Philz either CWM, around 5-6 versions of every i belive. Worst thing for me, is that my wifi wont work and attery discharges in a lightning speed. Maybe someone can help me trying to fix this ? Then i would not bother of any roms .... I really like stock, but WiFi wont work and camera is poor in it - for me, most important is WiFi as i mentoined and battery, not exactly in this order (battery MOSt important, then WiFi). Cant find working 4.4 stock working liks cause i think it worked on it perfectly. Battery is new by the way. Original from Samsung Store. Feel free to ask more questions and give so advices, really appreciate those ... :c
Thanks !
just check the model from bootloader
Stock firmwares.
sammobile . samsung-updates . updato .com
Standard Samsung restore via KIES but you have probably broken that method .
Hello !
Has anyone actually managed to get any custom ROM to work on a Samsung Galaxy A40 SM-A405FN/DS ?
Mine is currently running the current latest stock ROM (SM-A405FN_2_20211030045838_jg43vcqbiw_fac) downloaded with Frija and I managed to install TWRP from here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/recovery-a40-teamwinrecoveryproject-3-6-x-unofficial.4364575/
However, ANY custom ROM that I try to install :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/a11-r-arm64-a40-lineageos-18-1-unofficial-by-kevios12.4335409/
https://sourceforge.net/projects/eurekaroms/files/Samsung/A40/R/lineage/
GSI
maybe others that I forgot
will either bootloop or end up with a black screen.
Looking at the following threads, I'm starting to wonder if the SM-A405FN/DS is custom-ROM-compatible at all ?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/help-my-a405fn-wont-boot-any-custom-rom.4337041/

Im running CrDroid 7.13 without any issues with root and gapps. Many custom roms bootloop because of your newer firmware with Bit/SW REV.
Security Patch Lvl. being 4 and those custom rom were built on the older firmware with probably patch level 3. I had installed DotOS fan edition fully working like a year ago, then I tried some new custom roms, which somehow broke my system so the system couldnt start up even after reflashing original boot image, so I reflashed to the newest firmware which was working, then I tried flashing older one and it wouldnt boot, it just shows black screen with error bit/sw 3 boot 4. So you have to flah roms, whose are built on the newer bit level to boot up, the best is CrDroid and now the newest ALT-F4 version 0.0.3 from this forum: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-oneui-3-1-a40-alt-f4-v0-0-1-updated-2021-12-18.4373813/
I tried it myself and it is the best for this phone, it is fully debloated and pre-rooted stock rom. I also tried CrDroid 8x, everything works for me, but it fells slow and the ram is almost maxed out. I also recommend upgrading to this TWRP: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/recovery-official-twrp-for-galaxy-a40-a405fn.4025587/
The unofficial twrps had some bugs for me. I hope this helps and happy flashing!
THANK YOU for your comprehensive reply !! I'll give ALT-F4 a try as soon as I can !

Good luck!
Well, luck has not been enough: after updating TWRP to the official version, I tried yesterday to install ALT-F4 0.0.3 but got the exact same result: black screen, need to reflash the stock ROM to make it boot (even to recovery !!) again.
Would you have any other idea ?
EDIT:
I actually tried crDroid in the past, to no avail either.
