My Note 4 told me to do a system update, so, I did, and after about an hour of my phone flashing on and off on and off, I took it to the nearest Tmobile store and was told that, there was nothing they could do for me except sell me another phone, which I was forced to buy. So, I now have a phone I used to love, and cant use. The guy at Tmobile said that someone tried to root my phone but was unsuccessful, and only rooted it part of the way. So, now it is stuck in this half rooted mode. Is there anything I can do to recover my favorite phone? Plz help....

2 years ago I buy my galaxy s4 unlocked version from amazon.com. When I came back to Turkey I registered the Cellphones imei. After that I rooted my galaxy s4. I watch lots of tutorials and most of it did not work out. At the last try I was able to root my device. After a year my uncle bought me a gear 2 neo which needed a higher version of android. So i plug my galaxy s4 and updated trough kiosk. The result was my galaxy s4 was mys galaxy s4 lost its root acsess was gone and system was updated. Also most of the apps first run and then give a error. For example i downloaded can knockdown 3. First it worked fine then it stopped working. One of my friend suggested I need to downlad a rom and suggested cyanogenmod. I tried one button installer but it said the device is not supperted for this installer. But my phone is listed in the supported devices(GTI9500). Please help me. My cellphone is slowly dying. Also last thing. They say making a change on the phone sometimes deletes the imei registiration.
Thank you for using XDA assist. Any time you update you're firmware you'll lose root. So that's normal. To root it again see this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292615&page=50 If you still have problems you can ask here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192886 And aslo see this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4

I have a samsung galaxy s4 I337. I have tried the over the air update several times but it always stops at 27 percent and restarts my phone. Ive wiped all cache, factory reset my phone and still nothing. It is stuck on android 4.4.2 and I would like to update it to lolipop. I know that at&t has released lollipop to their samsung galaxy s4s, but I cant even get passed 4.4.2. I am decent with phones but know nothing about flashing. Can someone please give me a very detailed, step by step process on how to get lollipop on my phone? Also, is it possible to do it and not lose data? I have my things backed up but wanna make sure.
Thank you.

Your best bet is to read and look for answers here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att. If you have further questions please register on XDA and ask in that forum.

My phone one is on stock firmware finally. In download mode it confirms that. It also confirms that current binary is Samsung Official. Do I need to worry for my phone getting bricked doing a complete software reflash in a Samsung Repair Facility? I'm asking because the phone says custom in about phone and I do know that it can mean just that the phone had more images flashed to it. I rooted with Kingroot about a month ago and since then I have been trying to get my phone like how it comes fresh out of the box. I have been going crazy since then and I'm posting this question now being that I will be able to visit one of Samsung's Repair Facility's in a few days. It's the Grand Prime with model # SM-G5030AZ. Please can you fellows who know much more than me help me with my dilemma. Thank you.
About another stock firmware
I don't have one more is it available anywhere and believe me I did the research. I think your first option is something I'll give a try but if it doesn't work I'll try the last one. Thank you very much for your time as it is much appreciated.
Hi there,

I have a bootloader locked ATT Samsung Galaxy Note 4, Model SM-N910A. While trying to downgrade from Lollipop to KitKat 4.4.4, i ended up wiping the phone clean & now ODIN does not work. Got sick of trying to resurrect the phone. Since i can't root this piece-of-****, i just wanted KitKat 4.4.4 on it. Can anybody recommend me a repair shop that can restore this phone. I live in Sterling Heights, MI. After sinking $412 on this phone, I'am not willing to spend anything more than $80 on this, though.
Thanks & Regards
Cecilia

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.
Sorry to hear about your trouble. but fortunately there is an XDA area dedicated to the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 at http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att which would be a good starting place. I suggest you post your question with all relevant details in the friendly Q&A forum there at http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att where the experts familiar with your device will be best able to guide you. That said, iXDA is a global community and might not be the ideal way to find find a local repair facility in your specific area.
Good luck!
