SCH-I545 How can I change software? HELP - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys, I'm new on this forum but I really need someone's help.
So, Last week I've bought Samsung s4 from the internet, it turned out to be SCH-I545 Verizone with 4.4.2 android. I didn't have menu in my language (Polish) so I decided to install 5.0.1 and that was my biggest mistake. Now my phone doesn't see my SIM card from T-mobile, I don't have Polish language at all, I have lots of useless Verizone apps, and I would like to get back 4.4.2 or install custom ROM where I could find Polish language. The problem is I have no idea how to do this, because I only know how to install softwares by ODIN. I've read a lot about this and the problem is I can't install custom recovery because it says FAIL at the end, I can't root my phone and I don't know why, i've tried towelroot, kingoroot and others but they all doesnt work. Can You please tell me what should I do or give my some links with instruction because I'm helpless and please I'm layman in this topic so it must be written like for someone who is 5 years old. . . Thank You in advance, I hope there is some solution for my problem. .

Go to network mode and select global...i535 are sim free. Just change what i said.

I did it and i can phone but internet doesn't work, I still prefer to change this software for some other. Can You help me with that ?

Youve search button in samfirmware and search for i535 firmware.find the 4.4.2 firmware and download it. And search how to disable software update to remain in 4.4.2

Yes sorry - but pit error problem is related to faulty nand/emmc :crying:
re flashing dont make any difference at all
i sent my SGS3 to the Samsung Service Center. they tried to flash it but no luck so they asked me to leave the unit and replace the mainboard... waiting for it..
ive tried all pit, repartition, etc2.. i gave up
It seems I am not the only one....
Except take it to the health center (Samsung service center), does anyone have luck to fix it by Odin?! becuase I was using custom rom. I just think the Samsung might do the warranty recover with charges, which I don't really want to pay.. many thanks guys.

[Q] Able to Flash 'Root66' but not true Stock ROM, ODIN Fails at Modem.bin

I have searched everywhere (Not just XDA Forums) for a solution to my issue. Noe is to be found. Help me Android Geniuses, you are my only hope.
I Rooted my Verizon Note 2 LTE with Casual, and installed a sexy new ROM. I was loving it, till I realized I was no longer connected to the network. Not to worry! I had backed everything up using TWRP, so I restored the efs partition. Hmm, that didn't work.
Fast forward to me trying to flash my device back to stock, and it failing over and over (my flash count was at 18). Every time it failed in exactly the same spot: Modem.bin
Finally tried the "Root66" ROM, and it worked. However, my device is still rooted, no modem, no imei, and it still says minimum of 1 flash, and that I'm using custom ROM. Considering I have to warranty this phone, I need it back to stock for real. Can anyone help??

hey bro, have you unlocked the bootloader? if so and you're trying to go back to stock try the alternative stock odin file from imnuts.
EDITuno: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390225151984927096
theres the link to his alt restore odin package. idk if that'll help fix the modem.bin failure, but it should help someway. hope it does! if you need anymore help you can pm me if you need to.
I'm curious to what rom you flashed. Was it for a Verizon note 2? If you get no network, try flashing the modem in recovery. That should solve it
Link for modem download.

EDIT: Just realized you are making multiple threads for the same question. Sorry dude, that's my only rule. No more help. Also noticed that you flashed an international rom. Good job :thumbup: This is why you are supposed to READ before flashing

Not needed
I apoligze if it looks like I posted this question multiple times. I was told to post in a different forum, but figured more info=better.
I returned my phone to Best Buy, replacement in a few days. So thank you for all the help, next time I'll be more careful.

Need help with Odin / Flashing ROM

Hey everyone!! I just need some help with Odin. I have Odin v 3.09 installed. I tried installing a custom ROM on my Galaxy S4 SCH-I545 and screwed it up. I now need to use Odin to flash a stock ROM back on to my phone. I am really confused because Odin keeps saying:

Using big fonts doesn't help. :laugh:
You tried to flash ME7. Why? What build were you running prior to your failed flash? What did you try to flash that failed?
Probably CM, AOSP, or some other build that's never going to work..
At this point, I'd suggest installing Samsung Kies and using the emergency firmware recovery.
Then, before flashing ANYTHING ELSE. reading at least the stickies in this and the general forum.
What you did was completely avoidable.

Sorry for the big font!!! First post testing out the features.
I don't know why i was trying to flash ME7. I found it on another thread on here and a lot of people said it worked for them, not for me. I was running 4.3. I tried flashing SCH-I545_MDK_562219_Stock_Restore.tar.md5 two other unknown recoveries I found here and there.
I tried installing Kies. I got it installed and everything but my phone will not connect to Kies. I have tried multiple different downloads for drivers and the troubleshooting in Kies. It just won't work.
Any ideas??

First idea would be stop flashing random builds. You need to find out what build you are on, and flash that through Odin. Once you update to a newer build, you cannot revert back to an older build.

[Q] In need of some help

Ok, so here is the deal.
I have the Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 with U.S Cellular (SCH-R960) and I have run into some problems. What I did was try to root. Flashed CWM Recovery in Odin and when I tried to boot back up again, I was stuck in bootloop. So I tried to revert back to stock by flashing the stock firmware for my phone in Odin, the problem is, everytime I try and do that, I get this:

Thought this was the Mega forum? And yes I know about knox I bricked an S3 because of it but I didn't think it was added until 4.3?
the firmware you are trying to flash (which is i9200) is not for your us cellular version of mega (which is r960).
find the correct one then proceed.

I'm not using it as a phone anymore, just kinda as a tablet. So does it matter that it isnt the r960 firmware?

Are you really cannot boot into download mode?..vol down+power button..try power on the device,remove the battery,put it back again,and quickly press the download mode combination keys (vol down+power button) see it boots to download mode or not..if its boot, grab your latest firmware and flash it via odin. About the kies,try to uninstall and download the latest version of kies solve it..
EDIT:I have search your firmware and don't find any link.you have to wait until the firmware for your specific model number released by Samsung.

Thats the problem the stock firmware doesnt exist for my phone or at least I cant find it.
well then, thats unfortunate. im sorry.
so its certain that theres no way for you to go back to stock.
edit:
actually, try to wipe data and cache in recovery then reboot.
if it still bootloops, then I recommend you patiently wait until the stock firmware for your phone is released.

Bricked it? (Note 2)

So, I'm obviously quite new here. I rooted my Note 2 back when I first got it about 2 years ago lol. Had it rooted with 4.1.2 on it and some old version of cleanrom.
Having the Note 4 Pre-Ordered, I decided to un-root my phone and update it in case someone wants to buy it off of me.
Basically I unrooted, added new stock rom to it, now it is stuck in bootloop and I cannot boot into recovery.
__________________
What have I done?
1) UnRooted from SuperSU
2) Wipped it in the system settings and TW recovery (CleanROM was still on it)
-
Since it still had the cleanrom on it, I went over to SamMoible to download my version of the stock 4.1.2 Firmware
I ran it in odin and everything went perfect, and it rebooted and now it's stuck in a bootloop. I CANNOT boot it into recovery from PWR+HOME+UVOL

Now I've tried running through adb to boot it into recovery and that did not work. I'm guessing because USB Debugging cannot be on with the phone fresh like this.
I can boot it into download, and I've tried re-adding that same stock rom onto the phone and it fails everytime.
I downloaded another SCH-605 4.1.2 stock rom, and it still fails just like the other one.

Can anyone help me? I have no clue on what to do and I cannot find anything online with someone having this same issue.
Thanks a ton!
If you haven't seen it already, you should check out Droidstyle's restore guide at this link: ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34891181). His guide has links and detailed instructions on how to restore back to stock. (go to section 1b for instructions on how to restore back to stock 4.1.2).
As far as ODIN failing... From what I've read, you should connect your phone to a usb 2.0 port on the computer rather usb 3.0, so try different ports. Also make sure to run ODIN as administrator. I've also read that trying different usb cables and disabling antivirus programs can help when ODIN fails.
As you probably know, Android build 4.1.2 is the last build for our phones that allows us to unlock the bootloader... so I would personally restore it back to 4.1.2 and leave it there. I think it would have more value on Swappa if you're going to sell it there.
Hope this helps and Good luck!

Hey, I tried changing the ports and made sure it was a 2.0 port.
Still getting the FAIL from odin at the same spot.
EDIT; I ENDED UP FIXING IT WITH SOME HELP FROM MY DAD lol
We had to put a new Pit file on it and re-partition it.
Thanks everyone!

That's great. I was actually about to suggest some more ideas... and one was to make sure you were using the pit file if you weren't.... lol
Good to hear you got it fixed!!

I've tried with the new pit file, tried to repartition, using stock_mc3_recovery.tar.md5 and I keep coming across an error. Any ideas?

What version of Android is your phone currently running? If it's on 4.3 or 4.4.2, then you can't use ODIN to downgrade back to 4.1.2 because of locked bootloader.
If you can post the error report you're getting in ODIN, it will be useful to assist others with helping you troubleshoot.

I was using 4.4.2 before it crashed.... I know I can't go back to 4.1.2 because it's locked, and I can't seem to figure out why it won't let me go back to the stock software.. I've tried nearly everything.
This is the error:

Even at that, if I use sch-i605-16gb for the pit file, I still get nothing

When you say that you've tried nearly everything to fix it... hopefully you haven't ODIN flashed any other stock firmware onto the device that was from different phones-- if so, you may have messed up the bootloader. Here's a link to the 4.4.2 firmware if you need it, but I bet you got your file from there already.
You've probably tried this... but you could try flashing just the firmware without the pit file to see if that might work. You could also try to flash them both at the same time to see if that might work.
The most common fixes I've read for ODIN errors are to try other USB ports (the ones on the back of the computer near the power supply seem to be good choices and use a usb 2.0 port), try other USB cables (preferably the original one that came with the phone if it's in good shape), turn off Anti virus programs/ firewalls, make sure you are running ODIN as Administrator. Here's a thread that might provide some other tips for ODIN problems: (GUIDE--Troubleshoot a failed ODIN flash). It's for a different phone, so don't use any of the files linked in the thread...... but the tips provided should be helpful for troubleshooting.
If ODIN version 3.07 isn't working, you could try a newer version of ODIN. Here's some links to other ODIN versions that you might try: Download link for ODIN 3.09 ; Download link for ODIN 3.10.0. ~~With the newer ODIN versions, they have replaced the "PDA" slot with "AP"--so the .tar firmware file goes into AP in the newer ODIN. ****(For reference--Here's the XDA Thread where XDA recognized contributor -CALIBAN666- posted these links to newer ODIN versions. Hit the thanks button for him ****
---------------
If you can't get the restore to work with ODIN, you could always try Samsung Kies to see if it can fix the device...

I hope that some of this info helps and that you can get it fixed. Good luck!!
