[Q] No sound and occasional wifi - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I wanted to upgrade my firmware for my i9505. It was rooted so I went back to a stock firmware I had used a month or so ago. Xxuamdm. It went perfectly fine and after rebooting I set about upgrading the software. The first upgrade was nearly 400mb. This downloaded and then installed OK. The next one was about 50mb and the same happened again. Then there was a third one - about 50mb again - except when my phone rebooted it got stuck on the loading screen. I tried to reboot several times but I couldn't get past the Samsung loading screen. Eventually I decided to reflash the stock I had before using Odin again but this time when I went to update the firmware I couldn't turn my WiFi on and also I noticed my sound had stopped working. This is for calls notifications music YouTube everything. I have then tried to update via kies and still I get the same problem. I went to Sammobile and downloaded the most up to date firmware for my device and still no sound or wifi. I then tried a Google ROM I had flashed previously and the WiFi was able to turn on again but still I have no sound. All I want is the latest stock firmware and if I can then root it afterwards that would be a bonus.
I have searched for answers but I can only find two threads - both of which have not offered a solution to my particular issue.
Thanks
Sorry if I have posted in the wrong area but does anyone have any ideas on this? I have managed to flash several different custom roms today - Foxhound, Google Edition, Echoe - each of these has working wifi however none of them have fixed the no sound issue. When I call my phone it I hear ringing from one end but my phone does not even show someone is calling for a good 30 seconds - and I cannot hear anything when I pick up. Once I hang up my phone still thinks I am on a call and wont disconnect for a good 30 seconds.
When I get home later I am going to try and flash the following stock firmwares using Odin:
I9505XXUDMH8_I9505OXXDMHA_BTU
I9505XXUBMGA_I9505OXXBMG3_BTU
Is this a good idea or am I wasting my time and need to do something else?
I desperately need someones help on this - my only other option is to get a new phone and I really cannot afford to do that.

Freezes and reboots

There is a problem. Phone spontaneously freezes and reboots .. The last hope for your forum .. Immediately apologize for my English. I use google translator.
The phone was in the store with 74 CU firmware. Put Root, Russian patch cmw. Everything was fine, but the phone did not work a day, and they almost never used, and the use of the network in the first place. I was advised to calibrate the battery, and the program defy baseband. I'm not used the phone. A few days later there were complaints that the phone periodically freezes and goes to reboot ... Only helps the removal of the battery ... When I received it a few days, it was impossible to use it. In any action it hangs. That is, I press the menu, configuration vayfay and everything freezes. I tried to flash the firmware 139. redlayt through 3.9. In airplane mode the phone is not hung up about .. So I thought that the case in GSM module .. But he, too, hung .. In the end, I installed CyanogenMod 7. Phone is better, but sometimes it still hangs. And it is not logical and unexpected. Working half a day. Then suddenly you come into a notebook and all ... crashed. In the case of market crashes.
I tried to change the CPU frequency. voltage. I tried to dump the entire cache and flash again .. does not help. It is your last hope. Perhaps this marriage. Help please.
full sbf
2.3.6 uk 188 defy full sbf wifi does not work properly the signal drops or reboot motorola closed bootloader s*ck
Anyone can help me? =(
have to send back this phone to CU =(((( so bad
I'm in uk with a second hand defy from eBay. Was just about to start a new thread detailing my woes. I've tried flashing several SBFs with no joy. Lots of fcs and reboots sometimes frequent sometes and hour apart. Seems to be mainly whilst using gps even happens when in flight mode.
Could it be incompatible radios? I would have though I would have problems with wifi or signal but I do not.
I've flashed the stock uk orange 2.2 rom and also tried the stock 2.3.4 sbf.
My next port of call was going to be cyanogen mod, however I am unable to install as I can find no way to instal a custom recovery. I am able to atchive root using super one click. However this OS where the success ends.
If someone could indicate a fool proof way of instantly CWM and CM I believe this rom will be my last hope, although ready the first post in this thread makes me think otherwise :-(
Your thought are welcome
Cheers

[Q] No sound, device freezes when trying to play any sound. S4

Hello, I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505) and I'm having a couple problems with it.
First the phone freezes when its turned on it using Official software or a Touchwiz rom but doesn't happen with other Roms so I'm not very bothered about that.
Secondly there is no sound coming from the device, the only sound that comes off is the booting sound when using touchwiz, I've tryed with headphones and still nothing, and If I go to music and try to play a song the phone freezes until I press the home button, It also freezes when dialing or when any other sound should be coming of the device.
I've done a lot of factory resets and tried various roms but the problem stays.
And thirdly I have no signal on the device, when I put the sim card it just says no service, to be fair the sim card is a normal sim that has been cut to fit micro sim slot, becasue its what I use on my other phone and it works, I'll try with an actual micro sim when I have one available.
I don't know it these problems could be linked, that's why I'm putting them together. I have been searching online but I can't find anything similar.
Hope someone here can help me. Thanks a lot in advice!!
Can't get arorund this!
Ok, so I'm now looking at the sound problem now, seems like there is some people having this issue when the phone freezes when the phone should be playing sound.
I've looked at several threats here and for most people flashing I9505XXUDMH8_I9505OXXDMHA_I9505XXUDMH8_HOME.tar resolved the problem, so I tried it but still no sound.
So my I9505 is now on XXUDMH8, I rooted it again and installed a custom rom since the original firmware is not working very good.
Hope someone can help me!
Can anyone help?
OK so last night I tried flashing I9505XXUEMI8_I9505OXAEMI8_I9505XXUEMI8 and after I changed the kernel I got some sound when turning the volume up and down but the phone was running very slow.
Today I tried flashing Omega rom v15 flashing the right modem for the new bootloader before flashing the zip and no sound, I tried changing the kernel, still nothing.
So now I'm in build number XXUEMJ9 and baseband MJ5.
Please I've tried everything I can think of and I can't fix this, I need help! :crying:

Galaxy S4 doesn't work properly anymore.

To preface the current issue with my phone, I guess I should probably give some history of what I've done to it. I got my S4 around November last year, where I kept TouchWiz for about a good 3 months. At the end of those 3 months, I downloaded and installed CM KitKat using their easy installer and it worked! However, when Lollipop came around, I got a little impatient and decided to get CM12 using Antares version. Initially, I noticed there were a few bugs/glitches, but ignored them for the time being. As time went on, it became increasingly aggravating and so a few dayus ago I tried to switch back to stock TouchWiz. When I was setting up the phone, I noticed that the wi-fi would just not turn it. It would stay at "turning on" for a very long time with no sucess. Thus, I decided to switch back to Antares version of CM, but now there were a few issues: service was VERY spotty and the piece de resistance: no sound at ALL, and youtube would never play videos. I searched around and saw that using the Sound Recorder would give me an error: "Internal Application Error. Microphone may be in use." Now I'm not the most techy person around and probably should not have been messing around with my phone, but now all I want is a properly working phone, doesn't matter if its kitkat or lollipop. Your help is greatly appreciated. (If you need to know more info, go ahead and ask, because I'm very new to all this) Thanks!
If you want the stock ROM back, flash it twice using Odin. General consensus here is that you need to flash the modem twice in order for WiFi and cellular radios to work properly. Flashing the ROM twice will do that without having to track down just the modem file and trying to flash that.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be working :/ When setting up my S4, it's still stuck at turning on the wifi
I switched back to Antares CM, and everything works fine except for sound/microphone (to my knowledge). Would there be any way to fix this?

SM-G901F WiFi Pemanently Switch Off

Hi All
I have an issue with my S5 Plus (G901F) a few days ago I rooted, TWRP and installed the stable MM ROM from Tkkg1994 and have been happily using my phone. This morning while I was opening the Gmail app the device rebooted and when it came back up I noticed WiFi was not on. Pressing the quick menu WiFi button turns it green for a second before going back to disabled. Likewise going to into settings - WFi and using the slider does not work either, it just goes back to off.
So far, I have wiped ART/Dalvik, reflashed BL and Modem, factory reset. Wiped the whole device and redid everything including diffrerent ROM's on the same BL/Modem (CPE1) and have the same result.
Everything else works, just not WiFi, I should also add I have tried with and without the SD card and disabling/enabling other radios (GPS/BT) in different combos has not worked either.
Has anyone come across this and can they suggest next steps?
I'm currently downloading the stock ROM that came with my phone to see if that helps.
Cheers
Stock ROM did not help.
Did you find solution? I have recently started to have same issue with same device.

Probably not. The S5 seems to suffer a lot by such issues. I bought mine 3 months ago in a shop. It worked for about 2 months very well. Then all of the sudden it became hot in my pocket so i had to quickly remove the battery. After this the device suffered by ocessional reboots. Nothing helped. Even trying to reflash the stock firmware by trying several Pit´s.
Finally got a replacement as obviously either the RAM or the CPU got defective. The other phone lasted for one week as the wifi module got defective there. Nothing helped either. Now it´s my 3th S5. This weekend my flashlight and camera stopped working. Fortunally got this fixed by reflashing the stock firmware.
Honestly I like the phone but it seems to be quite buggy. Never got such problems with my old S4 and am thinking about going back to the older device.
dude try flashing 4 files flash through odin

Can anybody help me

will be that you can support me on something about this device, a while ago I wanted to install a rom lineage 15.1 and had many bugs, one of them was that Dolby stopped audio did not want to open, so I decided to change it to stock again using minimal adb, and all good, I start the cel, but the problem continued, and restart it I get a message like 10 times in a row that says "daxUser stopped" after that, I skip another window where it says the "internal system is damaged and may be unstable to restore the cell phone factory "and I do not know what to do because I have already installed the rom allegedly stock several times and it does not take off in fact does not sound at all, the speaker is dead, I can not make calls, if the resiven but nothing is heard, it no longer connects to wifi, it leaves the few applications without any reason. ect etc, I hope you can support me with that, and if there is any solution it would be great.
Unroot, lock and take it back for repairs? Sorry, not very XDA-style answer.
Edit: are you completely sure that you flashed the right stock ROM for your device?
Try again
