Hey all,
I Have been using my S4 for quite a while now, with no real problems, untill a few months ago, I started getting a randome message:
title - "SIM card removed"
msg - "Unable to detect your SIM card. Your devide will restart to check for your SIM card.
After testing for a while, and searching the web, turns out many other s4 users get it, and it is not a phisical issue, but a program bug. Is there a way to fix it?
I have been trying to update my firmware and upgrade to android v5.0, however, the phone restarts into RC mode, and starts to install the update, and get stuck somewhere around 60%. each and every time. And it doesn't matter if I OTA update, or KIES update. I still keep getting an error.
I think the 2 problems might be connected.
Its a s4 19505, stock rom, unrooted phone.
Thanks in advance! Oren.
BUMP please
Things like that don't appear on random. I don't believe it's a software error. You probably have a hardware failure.
You can try flashing the update with Odin. But I don't believe your sim error will be solved.

I am trying to recover my bro -in law's phone who bricked his phone during an OTA update. I don't know what happened. I have followed several of the how to's here but i ran into the error updating Firmware shown in a black box.
I have an AT&T Galaxy S4.
I have been trying using kies, going to "tools", then "Firmware Upgrade and Initialization." and followed the instructions and agree to everything.
It continues to download the Firmware which takes about 30 minutes then it changes screen and looks to begin the download to the phone
but right away has an error "failed to upgrade due to unexpected error, do you want too run emergency recovery now? And wants a recovery code.
That's as far as I get, I'm exhausted in my ability to fix this. Can anyone help?

Hi guys!
I got an issue, I'm desesperatly trying to update my phone through Kies to Lolipop as the update as been released to Taiwan's phones... But when I plug my phone, it gets detected, notify me that there's an update available... i do all the process but nothing happens at all... Someone else got this issue? It's kinda annoying!
Here's some screens, after the latest screen, who tells me have at least 3Go of free space in order to proceed for the update and unplug external memory to continue... I tried everything and it never goes further!
I don't know what to do, I don't want to update it through Odin, is there any solutions??
Thanks!
For a few weeks now, I have been unable to update my galaxy s5 to lollipop 5.0. I the download the update perfectly fine, but when I go to install it, it loads for a minute then says error. Now my phone was rooted, but one day it became unrooted. I tried to reroot it but it didn't work at all. I have a feeling when it unrooted, it didn't fully unroot? So I may have done something wrong here.. if anyone has similar issues and knows what may be wrong can you please help me!! I have reset my phone many times and nothing works!!
I've tried installing the latest update three times, but it keeps failing (it failed at 25% installation the first try and 30% the second try, and 25% on the third). The phone boots up normally and has the message "Failed to update software. Update failed. Your device will recover the original configuration". Has anyone else encountered this, or know how to fix this?

I am manually downloading the firmware right now and will report back. I will also be mirroring the 5.0 firmware for everyone so we have more channels to download it from

I am having the same issue.. Have tried once so far and it failed. On the Galaxy Note III. I will try to see if I can install it manually as well and update this post.
Thank you
Used the Samsung Kies app and updated via my laptop and usb cable. Took a long time but it was successful. Now I am hoping to get writable access to my SD card.. fingers crossed.
Hello,
I updated my galaxy s4 gt-i9500 - Indian exynos version to android lollipop 5.0.1
After the update, the device is very fluidic and I never had any glitch. The update seems to be pretty stable as well. But around 2 weeks after this update I got this problem- my device got factory data reset on its own with everything erased from both internal memory and sd card as well. This happened when my device was kept on a table and when I saw it, it was turning on and then i found that startup screen that comes after the reset. After around 1 week, when I was using my phone a random message appeared on my screen saying "erasing sd card" I was pretty much sure that it was the same problem so I turned off my device, when I turned it on, everything from my sd card was erased, but nothing happened to phone memory. When I went to service centre, they were saying it could be a problem of the update. They seem to be not knowing about the problem and offered me to go back to kitkat. I dont want to go back to kitkat so my last resort was xda-developers. Please help.
