Hello all. I messed up my phone and need help
I tried to flash a kernel thru oden. When I flashed it I placed the file in the phone part instead of the PDA part. Now my phone is in a constant Los and won't get out of airplane mode. I've tried flashing different kernels with no luck. Any ideas?
I'm a bit of a noob so I could be wrong but I Believe u need to search for the modem to flash via Odin there is a few threads floating around about this subject. Hope that helps some.

i have cyanogenmod 7.2 on my M290K, the sensors, bluetooth and wifi hot spot dont work, but the roms is functional otherwise. the screen will be inverted, but hold the phone upside down and disable sensors in cyanogenmod settings and your screen will be correct but no auto rotate. i posted the stock firmware in the thread for cm7.2 and asked about wifi and he said he will work on a patch for it.
but if you do not want cyanogenmod you can find the stock firmware at the end of the cm7 thread and flash it with odin, i posted it there forhim to use as a reference for the patch.
There are no support for now.

I dont know. He said he would work on it, but a lot of devs dont like it when we ask when it will be done. He said he will make it a couple days ago, so im going to wait a week more before asking again.

I'm trying to use odin to flash the stock rom on my M290K gio and I get boot loops after it gives the PASS! message. I was hoping it would at least format to rfs so I could restore my stock backup, but CWM for rfs+ext4 cant restore it. Can anyone help me?
edit- Okay I got odin to restore the stock rom but my back up still wont restore. I wish I knew the problem, but it says it cannot format /system.

Hi All,
I have done a factory reset both through the phones automated recovery as well as through CWM and I cannot get past this. What would be my options? I've also tried flashing custom roms and that has not worked either. I didn't put on encryption before all of this.
Thank you

Kies does nothing at all either. It simply says "Doesn't support my device"
What can I possibly do? I am trying to see if maybe the stock open europe firmware might do the trick but I have high doubts it will

Unfortunately they haven't put out the "official" ATT tar yet on there, I was going to try the Europe open and flash the mobile on there afterwards but luckily one of those threads had someone who ripped the tar out in some other way

Thanks I had a kernal but it was the stock image that was wrong that I guess shut down the internal storage. I tried *only* flashing the kernal first but the encryption failed error continued, only after flashing the stock rom did it go away.
Now it is back to rooted and running the hybrid rom
Hey, i was trying to unroot my phone and reset the counter using triangle away but now my imei number is changed and my sim card doesnt work...please someone help me.....what should i do
Which ROM you have installed? Have you tried to flash official stock rom again? If no, try to flash and see.
If you are on MF2 or ME6 ROM, then you might need to restore EFS backup.. Anyways, give us more details so that we can investigate futher.

Why? When I was an admin in a big forum like this, requests like yours never ceased to amaze me. This is a public forum, not a private messaging service. How can anyone else learn from any of it if its parts are deleted every time something's resolved!?!
It's a selfish request... in exactly the same way that someone saying they'll PM someone to privately continue the discussion, when said discussion is guaranteed to contain information from which others may benefit, is selfish. I'm not saying you're selfish, or calling you a name or anything like that. I'm simply pointing-out that maybe you didn't think it through before asking a mod to remove the thread. It's participants aren't the only ones reading and learning around here.

if you don't know what you are doing read everything many times and watch tutorials on YT. backup is the key feature when you flash anything.

Which rom are you using? Check that.
Do you have Odin flashable stock rom? If not download that, then you can flash the whole rom with Odin or from there you can extract the modem file and flash with Odin. The process is not actually easy if you have never done it before. Or you can search for the specific rom modem which is flash ready and download and flash that. The easiest method would be to flash stock rom altogether.

I think I didnt make my clear, I meant what ROM did your phone originally come with, which modem or baseband version, do you know that? Was it international rom or country specific? The rom you flashed later didn't have the right modem version that is why you are in this mess, find out which rom your phone came with and then download that rom then you can either flash the whole rom or extract the modem file and flash that.

I also had the same problem with my wifes s3. I had to unroot, rest binary counter and so on. I then took it to Samsung and all they did was flash the latest stock rom from our carrier and it fixed the imei problem. if only I researched it here first would have saved me a lot of trouble. a thread such as this one would have answered all my questions. plz don't delete this thread.

Hi as always I come for the expert advice to you guys. I have recently UPDATED my Galaxy S4 for Tmobile to CyanogenMod. Frankly I love the speed but it is still in beta version and has a few things I did not like. Few glitches. Anyway:
I want to go back to my stock firmware which was Kit Kat 4.2.2.before I installed Cyanogenmod.
I already downloaded Odin V3 09 and am ready to do this but I still do not have the stock firmware file. I looked for it but I really don't want to screw it up.
Can someone be so kind and insert the link to the download ? And if of course possible STEP BY STEP instructions on HOW TO GO BACK ?
I understand my phone now is rooted and will stay rooted after reinstalling Kit Kat. So I still should be able to get rid of all the bloatware correct ?
Any help greatly appreciated and huge THANKS IN ADVANCE !!!
Download firmware here http://www.cheatersedge.org/android/m919/M919UVUFNB4_M919TMBFNB4_TMB_FENNY_FIXED.zip, there is a thread already on instructions on how to flash.. and just because you rooted doesn't mean your device will stay rooted forever. Once you flash the firmware you will be unrooted but you can root again.. Alternatively you can just flash a debloated stock rom in recovery

Finding the stock firmware won't be easy unless you try downloading from sammoble, but you could try Fenny's stock rooted 4.4.2 rom in development.
It's very smooth without the bloatware and it has unlimited tethering.
It works best with Philz recovery.
Just follow the directions and your good to go.
Don't forget to do a factory reset.

PIN lock screen does NOT work on Fenny's rom when you first boot/restart/power up the phone. So, if you are turning your phone on the lock screen will just be skipped over.
Pin lock issue could be NG if you need that type of security.

Thank you so much Serio22, I just want to make sure it is the correct one for my Tmobile GS4.
And also would you be so kind and attach the STEP BY STEP instructions for Odin ? I am really afraid of bricking my phone. I need guidance.
People say once you do it few times it becomes easy as pie. But like I wrote above I don't want to mess up my phone.

One last question and I won't bother again:
When it comes to those files " OFFICIAL TAR AND ORIGINAL TAR " do I just choose any one of them ?? I wanted to know the difference between them both. Instructions don't really specify which to choose. Or is it both ?
And also there is a suggestion to " Wipe the data in recovery " after the whole thing how do I do that ? Should I do that ?
Thank you again for your help.

You don't have to worry about that, just use the tar file I posted earlier
Edit: and for the wipe data, you reboot to recovery after you flashed the firmware and do a factory reset.. Yes you should, but not necessary if you don't have any issues..
