Dear Team, good afternoon,
I'm a 42 years old daddy, in love with Linux and doitbyyourself stuff!
My last message in a forum was probably more than 15 years ago, but this issue is driving me crazy.
Background: few time in the past I flashed, rooted some samsung devices, but honestly speaking I had no mood to learn anything more than that.
Few weeks ago I was tempted to install Lineage17.1 on my SM N9005 ( NOTE 3 Samsung)
and everything went smooth. The day after I realized the front camera was not working,
giving me a generic CAMERA FAILED error, crashing almost immediately or freezing my screen with a dark screen for few seconds.
Tried few classic solutions ( reboot, wipe,clear cache, full reboot removing battery) as suggested on this forum and on the web, but no luck. Not even other app like OPENCAM etc..
I decided to go back to stock and installed Lollipop. Surprise, no camera again
Probably odin problem or corrupted rom, so I tried I think not less than 5 more stock rom ( brand, no brand, etc) Never had the camera back.
I even tried to go back to original kitkat same error.
Being the camera the only broken/faulty hardware, I decided to by a new one.
No luck again...
Is there anything I am missing? Is it ever possible I'm the only one with this problem?
What would you do to investigate/solve this issue? Can you please help me
at least pointing me where to look for a solution?
For the moment I'm back to this firmware. Before wiping and trying something different
I thought I could ask to your advice
Model SM-N9005
Model name GALAXY Note 3
Country Singapore (XSP)
Version Android 4.4.2
PDA N9005DXUGNK1
CSC N9005OLCGNH1
Thanks for your time!

Hey ive had a rooted s3 for a while now it was already done when i bought it months ago..... i decided to put 4.3 on it i thought i did it all right but obviously ive done something wrong since it now says emergancy calls only, i have tried;
taking the battery and sim out
wiping all user data and cache via the up, power and home button
I have reinstalled numerous software BTU and international and past firmwares, tried using the csc changer cause at one point it was KOR not BTU, ALL ROMS BEING STOCKS....
I have recently tried installing a Custom rom..... CYANOAGEN 4.3 (stable) which im under the impression is a custom mod anyways?????
Now i am completly puzzled ive searched numerous sites including this one but noone ever seems to have quite the same information i have on the device status or situation explanations so i thought id put this out there... erm im in the uk if that matters... and a fast response will be most helpful i will be attaching me device info screen shots OH AND BTW I HAVE A SIGNAL AND IT ASKS ME WHEN I TURN THE PHONE ON 02 MONTHLY, 02 PAY AND GO AND TESCO WHICH I AM ON GIFFGAFF (GIFFGAFF WORKS ON THE O2 NETWORK FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT DONT KNOW)

Assuming by going to 4.3, your IMEI changed to EFS v2. If you ever want to go back to stock just flash XXEMG4 (4.1.2) or any 4.3 stock firmware
Hey guys,
I have being Rom'ing my Note 3 n900 for the last few days, tried Rom's,Modems's and even CSC's.
Right now i am on Alliance ROM, 4.4.2, N900XXUENF2 baseband and NF3 Build number.
My data is slow i cannot even open facebook, This happend after i flashed some "stock" rom ( as it say at the download website) that had all 4 parts Recovery,CSC,Modem,PDA, the strange thing is that Whatssup is working great.
before that my data speed were great.
Anyone have any ideas on what todo?
Thanks,
So.. I'm struggling..
My mom has a Galaxy S4 (My old device, I now use a Note 4). I gave it to her rooted with a custom ROM about 2 years ago from now. It's been having random problems and it's so outdated, I decided I would get her a new ROM and fix up her phone.
Backed up all her pictures, all she wanted, and got prepared to install a new ROM. I found one in the forums here called [ROM]【5.0.1】Google Play Edition 【JFLTE-GPE】 - 01-28-2015.
So I downloaded it, and using Philz recovery I wiped all data and installed the ROM.
Calling doesn't work. Try to call someone phone turns off. At full brightness the phone seems like it's at what 40% brightness would be. And I'm sure there are more little problems here and there I would encounter, but I need to get this fixed ASAP because she has work tomorrow and she NEEDS a working phone. Edit: Just noticed on the Lockscreen it also says NO SIM CARD - SPRINT
So, since this didn't work, I searched YouTube for a video on how to unbrick/unroot the Galaxy s4 back to stock, found a video, involves Odin, followed steps exactly, getting a FAIL red bar in Odin. Great.
So I Prefer her to have a working Lollipop ROM, the one I found looks great just can't get it working. Otherwise, getting her phone back to unrooted/no custom rom completely Stock Sprint galaxy S4 would be great.
LolliPop ROM > Completely Stock Sprint Galaxy S4 > Where I'm at now.
I'm not entirely sure, but I think my problem may have to do with the firmware? Really not familiar with this stuff :/
Here is the device info:
Android Version: 5.0.1
Model: GT-i9505G
Baseband Version: L720VPUEMK2
Kernel Version: 3.4.105-GoogyMax3_GE5-v1.2.7 android @Gpe #26 Fri Jan 16 23:11:58 WET 2015
Build Number: LRX22C.20150128
Please any help, need her phone fixed ASAP or I'm Dead! haha!
I've made some progress.
I now have the Calling and Texting working perfect, it does recognize a SIM card, everything involving mobile data and connection works great.
The only problem now is the Screen Brightness. The best way for me to explain it, is it's like a Normal Galaxy S4, but the brightness is limited to between 20% and 40%. Meaning, if you put a normal Galaxy S4 on 20% brightness, that's my Galaxy S4's LOWEST. And my Galaxy S4s highest is what a normal galaxy S4 would be at 40%. Completely unacceptable d:
Any suggestions?
NEVERMIND NEVERMIND NVERMND NEVERMIND SOLVED SOLVED SOLVED SOLVED SOLVED.
In settings, under display, turned off adaptive brightness. Boy do I feel stupid!
Hi!
I've bought a Galaxy S5 (G900P) from Ebay last year, but I wasn't aware that the Sprint variant is meant for the US. (just realized that now, since I ran into problems). I've used it for almost a year now, running Android 5.1.1 with Cyanogenmod custom ROM on it - here comes the thing - as G900F. (which I just realized aswell, thinking back, and checking screenshots / Windows logs). The About Phone section, the usb drivers in Windows, several other things claimed it was G900F firmware on it - and I was able to use 3g mobile internet on it, was connected to Vodafone Hungary without problems. (turns out I can't use 4g in Europe with this variant, that's my bad). The Recovery mode (used Phil'z) and the Download mode both displayed G900P..I'm not sure what to think now.
The problems started when a few days back, Cyanogenmod announced the 13rd version, and my auto-update on CM12 took its curse, and updated it. The whole thing went smooth, phone rebooted, and instantly got hotter and hotter, draining the battery seriously fast. I've tried several apps, methods, none could help it, so I decided to just stick with Android 6.0.1 (since it came with the CM13).
Through 2 days of suffering and reading forums, pages till my eyes bled out, I managed to have a stock G900P 6.0.1. Android on my phone, it's currently charging, but here comes the fun, I'm not able to get mobile internet (3g). I could connect to Vodafone Hungary somehow, calling, and receiving calls, but there are several other things wrong with the phone like this. I've also tried to revert back to 5.1.1 (even the Stock ROM would be fine, I'd gladly skip on CM12), but Odin failed and failed each and every time.
So my question is: I know it's possible, because I DID have it, but I don't know how to anymore - G900F firmware on a G900P phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
(current status - Android 6.0.1 with stock G900P firmware - unrooted / I think/ ; without custom recovery, in Download mode both things say Official)
P.S.: if this subforum isn't the place for a thread like this, I'm asking a mod to please move it to a rightful section, thank you!
Hi guys,
I have a SM-G950U1 phone, and for a few weeks, the camera works only 1 time out of 10. And without any appearing reason.
I tried to reset the phone to factory parameters, it didn't solve the problem.
I thought it was a misconnection of the hardware, but after openeing the phone I didn't see anything weird.
I would like to flash a new firmware on the phone. But I am currently living in Europe and all the firmware I found are American.
I don't know if I flash one of those firmware it will still be working here...
Any thought about that ?
Thank you
