[q] SGS4 i9505 signal error !!

I own a SGS4 GT-i9505 which I bought from UAE. I updated the os to 4.3 via OTA . It worked well for about 4 months then it started to show up some signal errors. Actually there is no signal at all. When i searched for updates it showed latest firmwares are alredy installed. Now I got rooted my phone and it didn't solved my issue. Now when I try to update my phone via OTA it shows your device is modified. But when I connect with kies 3 there is an official update available.
Now my question is 1. Can I update that available official update through kies to my rooted phone ?
2. How can I get rid of this no network error ?
3. Is it possible to downgrade my sgs4 from 4.3 to stock 4.2.2 ? If so is there is any problem with knox app in 4.3 ?
Please help now its giving pain..
screen shots are attached.
Thanx.

Hey friend,
Thanks for the reply. I have updated my GT-i9505 to android kitkat 4.4.2 but the problem still exist. i have done a hard reset and wiped out the cache after upgrading the firmware. then also the problem still exist. there is no signal at all. Please help me.
thanks in advance

Few questions mate. But first thing to do is get rid of the Imei number you put up in a ss. GET RID OF THAT NOW FOR YOURE SAKE!!!
next question is is it second hand? Possible Imei block if it's second hand.
Next question is have you flashed stock firmware with Odin? What happened? Have you tried to change you're modem?

1. No i bought it from UAE. And there is no problem with the imie, when i check imie with *#06# it is same as the number in box.
2. Yeah i got rooted my device and it didn't solved my issue. Then i upgraded to 4.4.2 via kies, it removed my root and the status gone back to official.But it is sad that the signal error is same as before.
At this time my firmware details were as follows
Product Code: XST
PDA: I9505XXUFNBA
CSC: I9505OJVFNB2
MODEM: I9505XXUFNBA
Then finally i flashed the modem with odin. The current baseband version is I9505XXUBMF7 . The problem still exist.
please reply..
thanks in advance mate.

Do you get data still? What is uae? ALSO REMOVE YOURE SS OF YOURE IMEI NUMBER. check online with a google search for Imei block checkers. Input you're Imei number into that and see if it's blocked already. :thumbup:

Mate everything gone out of my hand !! I read that flashing the modem individually may resolve the problem from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192025 and i tried it too., I flashed I9505_XXUBMF7_MODEM.tar with Odin3_v3.09 and it got installed in my device which had 4.4.2 kitkat and replaced the MODEM: I9505XXUFNBA without any mess. But the problem remained unsolved . So i tried to flash another modem I9505XXUAMDM_MODEM.tar but something went wrong and the odin download mode didn't finished properly and my phone got bricked :crying:
I tried to recover my device with stock firmware downloaded from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=26474 but odin fails to flash it. mEssages shown in Odin is given below,

Wow you flashed a pit file on a failed Odin flash!! Pit file is a very very last resort thing to do. Had you tried everything and if so what did you try? Odin can be funny with phones at times so don't put of and go flashing pit files. Can you remove the pit you flashed. Does it go into download mode now??

SOLVED
When i approached the samsung authorized service center they told me to change the mother board and that will only solve my problem. Since the GT-I9505 varient is not available in my country its hopeless. So i gave it to a local store. They just changed the antenna and the network IC. Finally my phone got life back.

Wrong Model S7.

Hello everybody, i recently bought my S7 SM-G930W8. The problem is that i'm french and this is a canadian version. I tried maaaany thing to solve some problem with the fact i got the wrong model like : Bad connection and bad 4G/3G/2G. Couldn't even make a call. I checked if it has the same Frequency aaaaand yes it has EXACTLY the same frequency as the Global model (G930F). So i tried to install some 930F Rom version with odin but i couldn't. So i installed a custom rom compatible with the 930W8 and 930F. And at the end of the installation i could choose which country i'm from so it change the CSC file. I did it and choose french and i could make call but had again a really low network coming in my phone... So i think i succed to change the canadian CSC file to a french one but i still have the canadian modem (CP file) that's why i got low network. Can someone help me please ispent 20 hours to solve all the problems and i still got another one. :/
Thanks for reading my post.

1. You can flash a modem file by itself with Odin or........
2. This version of Odin will flash Stock firmware for G930F, it will ignore device mismatch and just install the firmware >>here<<

I'm sorry I should have made it clear from the start. It is possible to flash another region firmware as long as the hardware is identical BUT it requires modification of various files on the EFS partition. If you aren't vey experienced in doing this then you should leave it well alone or you may destroy your phone for good.
There are lots of reasons phones are region specific and Samsung, apple and others make it very difficult to change that region with official stock firmware because the same phone has a different price in different countries.
So the easiest and safest way to change regions is to install a custom Rom as you have but the phone will never function 100%. Its something you just have to live with.

SM-N950U mismatch AP CP and CSC, Cant flash official firmware( Malware )

So i bought this refurbished note 8 (SM-950U) T-mobile varient.
at first everything ran fine until i signed in my google account, thats when the phone starting doing random stuff, like opening playstore and downloading apps without notifying.
well that was the least of my concern, when i tried to update my device, it gave an error "Processing failed" as it failed to register the device.
This is what is in my device right now.
AP: N950USQS4CRE1
CP: N950USQU5CRG7
CSC: N9500ZZH2CRD5
AP and CP seemed ok as both are from the same models, but that CSC file is from SM-N9500 model and as far as i know that is from chinese region and from dual sim models.
The next thing i tried was flashing it through odin with stock firmware that i downloaded from Sammobile.
The files i download are these "
Build date:Thu, 26 Jul 2018 04:01:45 +0000
Security Patch Level: 2018-07-01
Product code: TMB
PDA:N950USQU5CRG7
CSC :N950UOYN5CRG7 "
cant post the links here
i tried to match atleast the build number of my device to the files i downloaded.
After loading the file in odin, connected my phone (turned on debugging mode and removed all of my accounts),

so after researching the internet i found that there were reports of malware in samsung devices in certain regions, and i am certain that i have got one in my phone, so i am really scared to put my passwords or data in it technically rendering it useless.
i cant return the phone, so im stuck with this.

Dude, try flashing TWRP and delete everything, the entire OS and then try to reflash stock ROM with Odin or just flash a custom ROM with TWRP, hope it'll help!

OTA Update Not Available Galaxy S8 Active (AT&T SM-892A)

As far as I am aware the AT&T Galaxy S8 Active is supposed to be compatible with Android 9.0 (Pie). I just bought an unlocked version of this phone on Amazon and it is currently on Android 8.0 (Oreo). This is the baseband version: G892AUCS3BRG1. I have tried flashing the update file from this post, but I kept getting a PIT error. I also tried using Samsung's Smart Switch, but that also says that 8.0 is 'up to date'. I don't plan on getting an AT&T sim and the phone currently has no sim. Now that you know the information here is my question: How can I update to 9.0 without getting an AT&T sim? The best solution would be a working 9.0 Flash for my device. Thanks to anyone who figures anything out.

Flashing the 9.0 firmware from the link you posted above should work just fine.
Have you tried booting into stock recovery and factory resetting the device and wiping the cache partition, then boot into download mode and try flashing the device?

That isn't a PIT error, it just stopped when it got to the point of checking and flashing the PIT.
What is your exact model number and what model number is the new firmware for?
What version of Odin are you using? You need to use a version that was released around the same time that your device was first released on the market or a version that was released around the same time that android 9 was released.
Did you download your firmware as an all in one .tar file or is it separated into 4 or 5 individual .tar files containing BL, AP, CP, CSC and/or HomeCSC or CSC Home?
Try these simple troubleshooting steps for a failed Odin flash, the thread is from the S2 forum but the troubleshooting steps are the same, using Odin is using Odin, no matter what device you're using it on.

Unfortunately the device is now bricked. I was watching a YT video and someone mentioned that enabling Nand Erase fixed the problem. My gullible ass tried it and now I can't even access recovery mode. I do have access to download mode, but I am unable to flash anything so I don't think that helps. I am going to try and factory reset from ADB now, but my hopes are not high.
EDIT: It seems that I also can't use ADB because the device is 'unauthorized'. So at this point I think I am going to try and get a replacement.

A10 [SM-A105M] Doesn´t connect to mobile network / can only make emergency calls

Hi, i recently flashed an A10 with the stock firmware (I downloaded the one that matched my country), and everything worked great, except the phone can only make emergency calls. When i insert the SIM card it detects the mobile network, but it doesnt seem to be able to select a network operator (neither manually nor automatically).
I flashed the "free" firmware (the one that isnt locked to any network provider), and It detects the provider that matches different SIM cards and sets up the APN (i also tried manually setting them with official guides), but doesn´t connect to the network and says that it "can´t connect to this network right now, try again later" when i try to select the network operator (IDK if operator is the right word, my phones are in spanish, and dont know which word android uses on english).
The baseband is correct, but when i looked up the IMEI on an IMEI info website, it matched with a NOTE 10 instead of an A10.
This is a friends phone, it was non usable (wouldnt boot), i didnt back up the EFS partition because im a dumbass, but i think the reason it didnt work was because someone else tried to flash a firmware (maybe a note 10 instead of A10), but he says it just stopped working. I am yet to try to flash other network provider´s firmware (the one it originally used), but i was told any that matched my country should work.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

You said "but when i looked up the IMEI on an IMEI info website, it matched with a NOTE 10 instead of an A10"
Verify if your the imei on your phone is same as the imei on the box of your phone

IMEI changes when a ROM from a different region that the device was made for gets flashed. Flashing correct firmware would restore phone's original IMEI. Once the IMEI what the SIM-card is linked to is used, then all should work again.

I think the problem is that i installed the unlocked firmware instead of the one of the provider.
The new problem is that the correct firmware is older than the one i installed, and now i cant downgrade.

Thanks! I tried installing the correct firmware (same country, but different provider), but it is older than the one i have now, and it wont let me downgrade.
