not going to download mode while press home+vol. dwn+power button help me what can i do
HI I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500 which had the 4.3 firmware running on it and since there was a lot of fuzz goin around about the latest Kitkat 4.4.2 firmware, I wanted to get it too.. so i searched over the net for the best firmware i could get for Indian version… I got an file I9500XXUFNB3 i believe it is an Russian .tar file well I flashed and since then My problems started “Not Registered on Network” I tried Restoring the Recovery file still the same so I thought of downloading the Official Firm ware for S4 I9500 (I9500XXUFNC1_I9500YDDFNC2_I9500DDUFNA4_HOME.tar.md5) AND (I9500XXUEMK9_I9500ODDEMK9_I9500DDUEMK9_HOME.tar.md5) but while flashing these files using Odin it says Failed… i am stuck and really worried please HELP !!
It’s because of KNOX bootloader. Once you upgrade to any KNOX bootloader loaded firmware you can’t downgrade your phone (or at least to any firmware that doesn’t have a KNOX bootloader).
Thankyou Soooooo Much

Thank you buddy..it worked for me ..upgraded from 2.2.1 to 2.3.6/ Was easy to follow the instructions for a person new to this..was a lill scared but then went ahead and did it..was fun. will update in case of any new developments
You are welcome.
I have a similar problem. My exact model is s5830M. I have used it with several Roms. The latest was Severus V.5. Then swithed to CyanogenMod10 and my Phone went into an endless loop at the begining. It won’t go into recovery mode (normally i would use home+pwr+vol up) or be detected by any computer (already have tried in 3 computers with updated drivers) so there’s no way for me to go back to the original Rom or use Odin in any way. Only thing I can do is go into Download mode but since it wont be recognized by any computer i’m stuck. Please help
Try with Odin 4.38 and disable antivirus and kies software. Hope this will work.
No, didn’t work. Already used odin v. 1.85, 1,87, 3.07, 3.98 and 4.38. Neither of those even light up the yellow square indicating a phone is connected. All I get from Windows in any computer is that the pc doesn’t recognize the equipment(even I have all drivers installed)
Try performing the same with different PC.
Use the drivers mentioned in this article: https://www.androidlegend.com/download-android-usb-drivers/
Still can’t connect to PC. I downloaded the drivers, tried in 3 different computers and always get the same message. “one of the usb devices linked to this computer did not work properly so Windows was unable to recognize it”. In Device manager it appears as “Unknown Device”.

30 Minute Pass Phone Is Not working. What Do
Install Mobile drivers. Disable antivirus and kies. Then flash the firmware.
You didnt get into The Downloading Mode, but the ARM DL-mode probably.
You need to be sure you get a screen with Downloading… displayed in a yellow characters.
Try the key combination again till you bootscreen shows in yellow Downloading, then connect your phone and then open S5830_Odin+Multi+Downloader+v4.38.exe
Good luck!
Can I do this without Odin..
By entering recovery mode.
You can’t..
hai dis is venkat. im using samsung galaxy ace 5830i.yesterday i upgrade jellybean 4.1 version to my phone.from then my is not working. so i would like to get back into gingerbred.I followed above procedure,but my phone is not connecting to odin mode,and also when i press buttons like what u said (home button+volume down+swotch off button) ,not open into downloading mode.plz help me to getback into my older version
Is your phone booting? Are you able to see any blank screen or Samsung logo?
hey venkat. for entering downloading mode use vol up+vol down+power button and for recovery mode use
vol up+home button+power. repeat the above procedure again and ur back on gingerbread. enjoy!!
U enter download mode by pressing vol down, home and power button all at the same time, for recovery mode, u press home and power button at the same time
Do you know where can i download the /system/framework/com.android.future.usb.accessory.jar file?
No, you can’t get it on the web. You’ve to download the whole firmware & manually extract that file from the same..
Windows is not recognizing my phone, i just installed the drivers, over and over…and nothing changes.

Viraj SK
First thank you for a complete tutorial. I came from iPhone to Galaxy and I must say that there are also many helpful people here.
I bought a branded phone for Canada (GT-S5830D) and the reason why I would like to flash it is that I need the operating system to be in English and Spanish. Does this firmware for India have Spanish?
If not, please advice what software you would install. Thanks, Asana
Thanks for the tutorial i haven’t tried it yet, i just want to know if it supports arabic first or not
No, it doesn’t…
thanks, any other website step bu tep didnt work! But yours did!!!
