Good morning,
I'm stuck with a big problem on my Note 3 HLTE.
Here's the story : I was previously on the PAC Rom 5.1 and I wanted to change to get the CM13.0 that was just released. So I've performed the full wipe (dalvik, cache and factory reset) and then when I wanted to update the OS, it didn't work. I ended up with a phone in recovery, telling me that there was no OS installed on it.
after several attempts, I then tried to revert back to a stock ROM based on 4.4.2 with Odin. The installation went on without any problems, I was able to get through the first install with my Gmail account and then the phone rebooted, and that's where I got the bootloop curse.
what I did then, was to redo an install via Odin with my carrier stock rom, and I got a FAIL message. So, I retried an install with Odin by adding a PIT file and another ROM still based on 4.4.2. the install worked, as I was able to set up my Gmail account and so on. At this stage, I wasn't able able to get any signal for calls, 4G . In parameters, the baseband was identified as "Unknown". Then, the phone rebooted again, and I got the bootloop curse again...
My last attempt has been to install my carrier stock ROM after performing a full wipe, with ODIN. The install was successful and I got the phone rebooted to stuck on bootloop.
So, here's where I am, and I would like to solve this problem, please. What I think is that, due to the fact that I was on Lollipop, the bootloop might be due to the downgrade attempt to KK. So if there's any way to solve this problem, I'm eager to take it.
Thank you !
Hey Guys,
I've been able to resolve my bootloop problem.
I've installed TWRP with Odin, made a full wipe including data (I've saved them before), and I installed the CM12.1 by Temasek, and way to go, the phone is running fine ^^
Now, I'm just stuck with the lost IMEI thing and baseband. SO my question now is : if I want to install my operator stock ROM for getting back, should I just choose the Lollipop ROM, or can I take the KK one without getting stuck in bootloop again ?
Thank you !

Hello,
I've got a problem with my gt-i9505.
I've managed to root the phone and install TWRP.
So i decided to install CM10.2 (21-08) and the right gapps for it.
Everything worked very good and I couldn't be happier.
All my apps were back and it was ready to use it!
I turned off the phone and went to sleep.
The next day i turned it on and it got stuck on the bootscreen (not the CM bootscreen, but the SAMSUNG GALAXY S4 bootscreen).
So I tried to do factory reset and install rom again, gapps again, afterwards again wipe dalvik and cache.
But i keep having the same problem. Right now after flashing the rom it doesn't even boot up the first time.
I also tried going back to 10.1, but same problem.
I don't know what to do, i just got my s4. Really hope i can fix it.
Luckily i can enter the recovery. But i didn't do a backup or anything.
Does anyone have any tips on how to get it working again?

Hi,
Look HERE
Put everything back to stock then, try again.
I found some 10.2 ROMS do not like rebooting,and just hang.
Remove the battery and try again normally worked.

Thanks for replying
I followed the instructions and succesfully installed the official stock rom for my device and region.
But it's still stuck at the samsung boot screen.
And now i can't boot into TWRP anymore either, is that correct?
After that I flashed with the .pit file. But still stuck on bootscreen.
Is there any other way to solve this problem?
idgaf about custom roms or CM10.2 anymore, i just want my phone to work.
Wether it's with custom or with stock firmware.
Really hope I didn't break my phone. :crying:
EDIT:
I wiped cache after flashing, but no data wipe/factory reset. That did the trick.
God i can't be happier my phone finally works again. Now i'm scared to flash a custom rom again. I think i need to install TWRP or CWM again too I'll just wait for now.
I really hope someone here can help me. I'm running an SGH-1337M (Rogers). I rooted the device a number of months ago with Motochopper and installed Foxhound ROM GT-i9505 (which every guide says works with the SGH-1337M). I've been running this rom for quite a while without issues. Yesterday I I installed Cyanogenmod (cm-10.2-20131102-SNAPSHOT-M1-jfltecan) which worked, until I rebooted the device. When I reboot the phone gets stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S4 boot logo. I've booted into TWRP and tried to reinstall the Foxhound rom which was working but end up with the same results. I've used Kies Firmware upgrade to try and set everything back to default without sucess. Using Odin I tried to reinstall a factory image of my phone, which is sucessfull except nothing changes.
Currently, if using TWRP I do a full wipe of my phone and then install Cyanogenmod it'll work, so long as I don't reboot. If I reboot I need to do a full wipe, reinstall the rom and start all over.
I'm at a complete loss here. I've spent the last 5 hours looking for a solution to this problem without success. Any help is greatly appriciated.
Thanks

After you did odin, you must do a factory reset. This should clear up the problem. And, are you using the correct kernel for cyan?
I just flashed this rom successfully yesterday. The rom was stable and working, however I wanted to get the hotspot to work. I used a hotspot mod on a previous 4.3 rom, so I tried it again on this rom. I flashed the MDC Hotspot Mod while in Philz Touch 5.18 recovery. After flashing the hotspot mod, I reboot the system and it is stuck at the "Kit Kat" splash screen. I went back to recovery, wiped everything (data reset, cache, davlik cache) and reinstalled the rom and it seemed to work fine. However, I wanted to get the hostpot working so later in the night I reinstalled a 4.3 rom, and now I can not get any rom to work. When I boot up I am not faced with the Galaxy S4 screen saying:
KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Set Warranty Bit: kernel
It will not go to the Kit Kat splash screen, I can get to download mode and recovery mode. I tried completely re-rooting the device, Installing different roms and even a different kernel, but I can't seem to get anything to work. At this point, I just need my phone to work and will use any rom. I don't think this is a fully bricked device because I can get into recovery and download mode. I can live without hotspot for now, just need a working phone. If anyone can advise here or help please reply here or email me at [email protected]. This is my daily driver phone and I need it to work, hopefully it is an easy fix like getting a stock 4.4 kernel? BTW this was a brand new galaxy s4 which came with stock 4.4, so I am not sure if installing 4.3 had an issue with it. Maybe using ODIN to fix the problem, I am not sure. I have successfully rooted many phones including HTC EVO 4G, HTC EVO 3D and Galaxy S4( until now) and have never ran into this issue. Please advice anyone!! Thanks!
RE: S4 Sac Rom Issue Please Help
I ran into a similar problem and my device would not boot. I simply just reflashed clockwork 6.0.4 recovery from Odin and was able to get back into recovery to wipe and reflash a new rom. Hope this helps. Note: I selected PDA in Odin. Here is a tutorial to get recovery back.

Good luck.
It's been awhile since I changed anything on this phone, I've been running CM11 with no issues. The wife was playing with my phone which is on cm12 and wanted me to upgrade it. Great, I hate having to touch her phone but ok.
1. Did a straight upgrade to CM12 nightly (couple nights ago build) with gapps from CM site. After the install everything crashes on the initial load, it's like the baseband is jacked and doesn't know how to handle the new google play services because everything crashes.
2. Went back and wiped internal everything this time, re installed nightly and gapps. No change.
3. Tried step 2 a couple more times and different gapps from PA and other random sites (micro, light, stock versions) and then TWRP just died on me. It's asking for a password when I first go in so now I'm stuck there. Tried to use ODIN to install the latest TWRP after converting it with another script found here (i'll find the link).
so, I'm probably going to have to use ODIN to restore some stock version of S4 ATT but I really don't know which one is stock that would work with CM12. I don't want to get caught in the safestrap crap of dual boot and whatever else. Any help is greatly appreciated.
You'll need to Odin the mdl firmware in Odin. Be careful as it will want to update itself after you flash it. See sammobile.com for the firmware.

Awesome, thanks!
Flashed the stock, towelroot, twrp from google play and cm12 nightly. Perfect and back where I left off. Thanks!!
Ok.. I did a bad thing I guess. after working for a couple weeks I tried to reset the phone while cm12.1 was installed. All it did was keep restarting TWRP and was stuck there. So I figured there was an issue with the twrp install or something whatever, I went to flash back to stock mdl in odin. Instead of selecting PDA I selected Phone and it failed on the first attempt. Then I selected PDA and it installed correctly (Said passed). Now I'm stuck on the AT&T logo on boot. I tried to reinstall the stock rom again and the same results. Where do I go from here??!?

Boot into the stock recovery and do a factory reset

Ok, factory reset worked on the second try. Sent it in to a boot loop on the first go around, odd. Thanks!
I'm Sorry guys but if I didnt reach a desperate state i wouldn't be posting this, at first i posted this at the nameless rom section thinking that its only related to it, but now i think there is something im generally wrong in the steps that im doing but i just cant figure it out
and before anyone says anything, Yes i did try hard to search and read as much as i can about the problem before posting here, and Yes the solution might be very stupid and i missed it but honestly after flashing my phone soo many times i decided that just like my phone.. i'm looping with no way out :S
Anyhow, to begin with this problem is only happening when trying to flash the Nameless V4... and i have the SM-N910W8 ... and before all this started i was running the Nameless LP v7 (?)
How did i reach this point ? here are the steps :
*Did all the backups needed
*Flashed the phone using Odin to the latest 6.0.1 Stock rom : N910W8VLS1DPK1
*Flashed the latest TWRP
*Wiped System, Data, Cache and delvik
*Flashed Nameless V4
*Flashed Emotion Kernel R25 Rc1
*Flashed the latest SuperSu which is 2.79
and then reboot
at first no matter what i do i could not go past the first screen which says : Galaxy Note 4
what i did to TRY to resolve this issue:
*redo same steps but different kernel (didnt work)
*went back to an older stock 6.0.1 via Odin which is N910W8VLU1DPE2 (didnt work)
only after i re downloaded everything and made sure no file is corrupted, that i started seeing some progress
So at this moment, i can get the phone to boot on both emotion and H-vitamin kernel, but no baseband or IMEI.
Also when i try to install the data fix, i get stuck in a bootloop
If anyone can please give me clear steps to get this over with i would really appreciate it, i dont have any other phone to use at the moment and i cant use my phone in this state
Thanks in advance
NEW UPDATE :
I managed to get all the files i needed to flash working, the only problem i was facing was with the Data fix file and every time i flash it, i end up with a bootloop, so after researching, i ended up replacing the build.prop of the Data fix file with the build.prop from the Nameless v4 rom, after that i flashed the new file, wiped both caches, and after a long wait since i cleaned install everything, phone booted normally, of course i'm still facing the no baseband/imei/sim problem, but atleast there is progress.
I dont know if this information helps anyone but i thought i should mention it just incase.
I think im gonna try testing with the v3 and see if i can get any sign of life when it comes to sim/baseband/imei......(update.. no sign of life)
Just to give an idea on where i am right now, the only way i can get the phone to function normally is by flashing any stock image
You are literally the only person on Google even talking about N910W8VLS1DPK1, so I figured I'd ask you: Did your problems come from updating to DPK1, or are they a result of the custom ROMs you're trying to install? Because I want to upgrade to this version, but not if it breaks everything. I'm just looking to update to DPK1, root, and debloat, maybe even install a debloated ROM if there is one, that's it.
I tried Nameless and couldn't get it working on the Canadian version. Im not sure if it had to do with not having a datafix. But my result was the same. Unknown baseband.
