Hi Everyone:
I got a Samsung S4(GT-I9505) a few days, rooted it and put up cyanogenmod by using the cyanogenmod installer. It installed v 10.2 snapshot.
However today morning, I couldnt access the internet with my phone (over 3G/LTE). Wifi works fine. I get the 3G/ LTE icon in the status bar, but they are grayed out (as opposed to being blue). I tried installing another cyanogen mod version, but it didnt help either.
I am thinking something might be wrong with the hardware. So I might have to return it , but I will need to unroot my device and put up samsung firmware on it. I needed some help with this:
1. How can I find firmware that will work on my phone? My model number is GT-I9505, the cyanogen mod is running baseband I9505XXUEMK8 - how can i determine if this is correct baseband?
2. When I tried running the triangle remove app to unroot the device, I again had problems - at the point where the phone is supposed to re boot into download mode, it just starts up normally - is this because I am running cyanogen and I need stock for triangle remove to work?
Thank you so much for any help!

This is getting frustrating!
Once a full uk rom became available I did a full, clean install using Mobile Odin to retain root. When I check status immediately the report is 'official'. Now the problems begin. I have tried a restore from Titanium Backup, a manual install of all my apps one by one and also just letting Google Play do its stuff, and after each sometimes within a couple of hours, this last time I managed overnight, my status is reported as 'custom'.
Any ideas as to what is causing this please?
Which status you're talking from? The one in the settings? That happens sooner or later when the Note is rooted, the systems seems to check this from time to time and set the status to "Custom". But why bothering, it does not harm. Even OTA do work with that.
The status custom in Odin download mode is a different store (but it remains official as long as not recovery or other non-Samsung flash is done).
Yes, the one in settings. Once the status changes to custom if I tap 'software update' then do a check I get a message saying my device has been modified so updates unavailable.
Then you did anything else, my status there is also custom, but I was offered the latest OTA without problems. Nevertheless, I downloaded the latest update from sammobile and flashed it with Mobile Odin. So I don't care about that status.
You are rooted ??
If so run Triangle away to reset rom counter .
Flash stock rom via Odin then factory reset should put device to normal status .
Root can interfere with or prevent OTA use Kies and reroot .

Why so complicate?
Get the update/rom from sammobile or here, use Mobile Odin and flash the update on the tablet. With the pro version, the tablet remains rooted and everything is fine. Mobile Odin is an excellent tool and worth the few bucks to get the pro version.
Odp: [Q] 'custom' status with official rom
I have the same problem. I tryied to install script sd2internalsd and Iinstall busybox and i think that orogram change my status to custom. Now - my note cant take an update.
I try use Triangal away but das not work. Any idea?
tapnięte z mojego Note'a 10.1 3G
Hi all. Tried my first root + custom rom installation and i messed up the device..
i had the newest KIES firmware update (phone XXBMA5) and (XXBMA6) and i rooted the device with odin (3.07). That went OK.
Then i installed the CWM recovery with odin and that was OK too.
Then i downloaded the latest Omega Rom (i missread that it supports N8020) and followed the installation instructions to the point where it started installing Omega V2.0 from SDCARD and then it asked me to select device from a list that included only (N8000,N8010,N8013)..
So the situation now is that i have working odin, working CWM and backup of the EFS (img+tar) but no working recovery. i live in Finland and the device is Sonera locked i think, so the stock roms (international) do not work i guess.
KIES has a backup of my Note but i can't even get to a point where KIES discovers the device.
So basically i think i need a working ROM for my model (Note 10.1 4G N8020), or can i recover the original samsung software somehow ?
Any advices ?

Just a thought, but can't you reflash CWM or the stock recovery?
If you didn't install the rom why do you need to re-install anything. Just powering down and powering up should have left you as was....

Maybe i'm missing something but isn't CWM your custom recovery?
It doesn't sound like you've actually installed any rom yet.The Omega installer doesn't actually install anything until a few steps after the one you mentioned about the model type.
I'm with ultramag69 on this one. You should still be on a stock rom unless you already wiped your original rom.
Hi again. Problem solved, just had to do emergency thing from KIES. Like i said this was the first time trying root + custom ro install and to be honest it went to ****. Somehow i managed to delete the stock firmware so that is why the recovery gave me (no files). I did make some backup but when tried to restore it said MD5 mismatch or something. At first the KIES emergency recovery could not find the device, but after i switched from CWMcto stock recovery it worked.
So what did i learn from all this ? Nothing, because i am getting too old (tired+lazy ) to do proper investigation. So one could say my strategy is to bang my head to the wall as long as it takes to go trough. Even if i could just go around it
So basically i am now at the point where i started, with stock 4.1.2 rooted. Used the triangle away to wipe the (6) custom installs or something away, but it still says custom in the settings> information. Does this mean that OTA won't work ? Any way around it ? Because i would like to check now and then that is my version of android the newest one..
Could someone recommend a custom ROM for my Note 10.1 4G (LTE) N8020 4.1.2 because the only one i was able to find was the CyanogenMod (or something) and it basically makes the S-Pen (almost) useless. What i would like is the Omega ROM, but like stated before the installation only supported N8000, N8010 & N8013...
Added screenshot from info.
Thanks anyway
What is truly amazing is that i did not brick the device tough..
switch from cwm to stock

How did you switch from CWM to stock? I have having a problem syncing with kies also using omega rom on n8013.

I was not easy, i just tried the download mode over and over again with KIES open in windows and somehow it finally did find my device and offered a emergency restore. That is it, and the device was restored to default "original state".
OMG.... one would think after nearly having bricked your device you would either A) stop messing around with it or, B) read and learn more about what you're wanting to achieve and THEN maybe trying something with the ABSOLUTE certainty that a backup to restore is available to you in case of any mishap!
Moral of story :
Don't do anything until you are absolutely sure you have read EVERYTHING about what you are going to do.
For others wanting to mess with their devices, take heed! You may not be as lucky as OP (or troller) whichever is applicable.
There comes a certain point, that when crossed one does not care what happens to the device at hand. After fighting with my n8020 for several days in a row i couldn't care less, and like said before i dont have the level of enhusiasm like i had when i was younger. Of course i know now what went wrong.. But seriously, these are just overpriced toys, so it's not a matter of life and death.

Hello, someting really weird (for me) happened on my nexus 5. I was running stock 4.4.4 rooted with elementalx kernel, and i decided to return to stock and flash android lolipop. (I used this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701)
I firstly flashed 4.4.4 stock just to be sure there wont be any complication with the kernel change.
after that, i flashed lollipop according to the guide above.
after i locked the bootloader and opened the phone i saw something strange, an icon in the app drawer named ''SuperSU installer'' . it was a system app and i couldnt even uninstall it, but i could only disable it.
Also, in the past, i had used the ''simcardchanger.apk'' (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/themes-apps/app-sim-changer-change-registered-sim-t2106490), to put my phone number in the ''about'' section of my phone because it was marked as ''unknown''. my phone number was still there after the flash of the new ROM (!)
How could these 2 survive the flash of 2 ROMS?
Is there anything i can do to return my phone to complete stock without even ''simcardchanger'' marking my phone number in the about section of the settings??
[PS: i am now running lollipop stock, unrooted and locked bootloader.]
i would appreciate if any of you is bored enough to solve this question. Thank you.
As in the title states I have the galaxy tab 2 7.0 and recently I installed CWM and a ROM and everything looked like it went right however after I reloaded my tablet nothing seems different it jus seems to return to stock setting and now I cant do the OTA software update which means now certain apps and games I can no longer uses as it says my device isnt compatible. My goal was to simple update from Jellybean to at Least Kitkat.
Can someone help me. where did I go wrong?

Well after a short research I found a ROM called Resurrection Remix, loaded with 5.0.2 (or Lollipop) however now everything is force closing and I barely got my laptop to see it as MTP again after installing a new Binary (glad that did that trick for that) but I cant get it to boot into CWM Recovery bc I cant access the app the only thing it will let me do right now is change the Binary.
How can I fix this issue?
Edit: Okay so I got that solved with doing a factory reset twice, booted in CWM, loaded up the GApps. Now just wondering if there is away to make it not seen with phone options like the dialer or msgs as its jus a plan old tablet, doesnt take a sim card and has no carrier. I do have the source code but I am not tweaking that til I get a better understanding of it.
After a lot of research and tries (amazingly without bricking) I am now running an even newer version of a CM 13 Marshmellow
Hi,
The first is to apologize for the language used, and the length of the text. I am from Spain and my level of English is low, so as it was a fairly long post I used Google Translator and I know that makes it very literal translation ...
I write this post to see if anyone can help me or give some idea ... I explain the problem.
I own for some time ago the Tablet, Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2012) . He has always liked to try new ROMs, so far without much trouble, but .... I tempted fate a lot.
At some point, after changing the Recovery and ROM, to test Marshmallow, the WiFi stopped working, which is a problem in a device of this type, you lose a lot of functionality.
I have tried many ROMS, about 10, and none of them work properly. It is true that some seems, makes the attempt, working. But it does not work.
I have also tried different Recoveries (CWRM, TWRP, Stock, HigOnAndroid, ....), and I have not gotten the Tablet WiFi work.
With all these tests, entering DOWNLOAD mode, it indicates that the device model is the Note 10.1 GT-N8000, the model without WiFi. And when you install a ROM, and go to Settings/Info, the system said that the Tablet is the GT-N8000 model.
This has led me to perform multiple tests:
A- Flash several ROMS by Recovey, usually used the TWRP.
B- Change Recovey installed by Odin 3.10
C- The last thing I have tried, is back to the original ROM and Recovery by Odin 3.10
All these attempts, multiple, have thrown me the same result. The WiFi does not work, and continues to indicate that is the model GT-N8000
The questions are:
1 - Is it normal, even the GT-N8013 model DOWNLOAD mode appears as the GT-8000?
2- Is there any way to get back to its original state, GT-N8013, with WiFi?
3- What Recovery would be most appropriate? (I once used the TWRP)
4- What ROM for this Tablet is the most appropriate? (This question is very personal, I've always liked Omega Rom)
What model do you have .
Samsung Galaxy Note (2012) Gt-N8013

Hi, WiFi isn't working because you probabily stay with a older bootloader but with 6.0. When you flashed the MM rom, your tablet at which version of android was? Maybe i think 4.4.x if WiFi doesn't start. You need to update the bootloader into marshmallow or try look on the thread where you found the rom if there are some modem updates. By the way, if you want to get the stock firmware and install it on your tab, first go in sammobile site and download the firmware ( pay attention to version 4g / without 4g ) and then put your device in download mode->connect to odin-> on "PDA" load the firmware you downloaded -> start -> wait 10/12 mimutes and you will have the tablet as you bought for the first time.
And check if the rom is right for your device( because when kernel is different if the device start it can have some issues like WiFi )
Hope i help you
