Good luck.
I have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy Express (GT-I8730), international version.
I updated my firmware using Odin to a newer build. The firmware was downloaded from SamFirmware.com.
After the update finished and my phone restarted I've got no sound at all. I tried doing a factory reset but no luck. I thought the firmware was corrupted and after downloading and installing a new one, the exact same thing happened.
In the video posted below I am doing a factory reset from recovery, just to show you that I'm doing everything from the beginning.
The phone vibrates but there is no sound.
Before the update I had build version : I8730XWAMB8. After the update I tried with : I8730XWAMD7 and I8730XWAMC4. All these builds have the version number 4.1.2.
If I reinstall the I8730XWAMB8, I have sound but this build is branded and I'm very mad that I can't install other versions. This thing won't happen on my Note 2. I can install what firmware I want from SamFirmware.com.
I also saw that with all these builds my phone will randomly power-off at different times. It can be 5 minutes after I turn it on or it can be 18 hours. After the power-off I need to take out the battery.
What is wrong with the phone? Before these updates everything worked perfectly (before trying these updates, with the initial build I had sound and there were no random power-offs).
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
I also wanted to de-brand my i8730 and had similar issues as you. I tried 4 different firmwares, and the only firmware that really works OK is the original, branded one. With other firmwares (same version, same country but different branding) got me the occasional shutdowns like you described and wifi constantly disconnecting and connecting again.
Now I went back to the XWAMB8, rooted the phone and with Titanium Backup removed all the branded apps.
If you don't want to root your device you can always hide the apps, from the app list click on the Menu button and choose the option Hide applications.
Isn't that weird? I had a lot of Samsung smartphones and flashed a lot of firmwares (both stock and custom) and never experienced something like this. Can you tell me where you bought the phone from (what carrier and country)? Thanks.

It is indeed very weird. My phone is branded to Portuguese Vodafone, I tried flashing other portuguese firmwares and also from other countries, the only stable one is the original one.
I think the phone is designed to be like that.
Sent from my GT-I8730 using xda-developers app
It is happened to me too, this power of thing in XWAMC4 firmware. (it is happened after less then 5 minuts after i turned out the screen)
finally i went back to the XWAMB8 and it's all work great.
No sound at all - not a problem in Australia
I updated and Optus branded i8730 with the plain vanilla variety and have had no problem.
Is your phone network locked?
99% sure mine is not and that may be what is causing it.

Well, it was a Vodafone Romania firmware but not really branded. I mean, it only had some apps installed by Vodafone. However, I'm getting my hands on an unbranded grey Galaxy Express today. Let's see what's going to happen with this one..
Something similar happened to me. I rooted it via motochoper from my linux desktop. Played a bit with root stuff, and later then I had no sim detection and no more speaker sound. I reflashed /system and got sim detected but still no speaker sound. Now I'm affraid of rooting the new one (I got lucky with my carrier). Something is weird about that phone...
Edit: In fact it seems to be TB that messed up the device... Everything fine now...

Version number: JZO54K.I8730XWAMB8
Do you have any soluce to fixe this probleme ?
Thanks a lot
Wipe and full reflash with odin or heimdall...
Try full wipe and full reflash of original firmware with odin or heimdall...
Does somebody was able to flash a ROM released for a different carrier and still have sound working on this phone?
I either have no sound at all (after burning a new ROM for different carrier) or have strange sound (like "ET call home" - not my problem description, just found it on this forum too) after mixing new ROM with my original MODEM file.
Of course, everything is fine after burning back my original ROM.

Hi,
I've been do many flash last 24 hours on my Galaxy S4(Model SGH-I337M, Telus). Initialy, i've the factory stock rom, rooted. So, yesterday, i've decided to install Cyanogen mods nightly on my phone. Not the first time i've been used it on my phone. No problem before. So, this night, after a friend show me the release canditate release seem to be more stable, i've been try to put it on my phone. So, accidentaly wipe all the data on my phone. When i'm back home, i've put again the samsung original rom from my operator(4.2.2), found here, on the website, whit odin. All completed succefully, but i've noticed that the wifi won't turn on after the flash, and no sound from the speaker. So, i've put Cyanogen nigthlies again to test if it rom relative, but same issues here, no sound, but the wifi was working. The phone was very instable, so. Then, finaly, put the original rom again, without any rooting. Stuck on samsung logo, that i've finaly got fixed by clear the data and cache. But, no sound, and no wifi. Instable too.
Precision about phone: Unlocked whit the service mode(work), and enabled AWS whit a software and file(tutorial found here)
My question is: Anything else i can do to make my phone work fine again, and does it's possible to make the phone totaly stock? When i boot up, i've noticed that the phone, whit all rom i've try, said on samsung logo: Kernel is not sendroid enfonced, warranty status: kernel, so i can't go to return my phone on warranty whit that. How i can erase that line, and make my phone seem to be no modified?
Just to specify, it's not the first time i flash a phone. Do many flash, whit galaxy s2, s3 and s4, and sure, mine. Got try Cyanogen, stock, know how Odin work and all, try many rom, and before today, never has any problem to do turn back, but now, it's seem to be impossible.
Thank you very much for your help, very appreciated!
I would flash the stock firmware with odin again. After flashing do a factory reset in the stock recovery.

I've just try this. Flash the stock rom whit odin, and factory reset on original recovery after. Same, no wifi, no any sound.
Just see yesterday, when i'm flashing, i'm flashing on the bootloader in odin(whit the tar for the stock rom). Today, correct this by flash on the pda section, still not work. Found here on the forum the stock bootloader, rom, csc, and modem, but when i do this whit odin, odin said fail.
Thank very much, i think my phone is dead, and nothing to do to exchange it on warranty.
I think Kies has an emergency firmware recovery mode.... maybe that'll work.

Just try this. Kies is the worst software i've ever see. The software completely freeze random. When i go to the emergency menu, never, kies recognize my phone here. I've tried to plug my phone, no recognized. Tried without plug it, no recognized. When i plug it, kies said connection in progress, and can stay here 30 min.
I'm a idea of what is my problem. Before do install of cyanogen, i've been applied the samsung official 4.3 update, whit knox. And, according to what i read on many forum, knox is not ereasable, So, it's completely freeze my phone, and nothing to do.
Anyone have the factory telus bootloader and other factory stock items because i want to put it stock.
Thank.
Finally get problems fixed by take the TELUS stock 4.3 ROM and flash it whit Odin. After, can flash cyanogen nightlies again and the phone work well again.
Whit the stock ROM, didn't see any line on the Samsung boot logo that i've rooted. After root this appear again. Knox regardless of ROM installed said 0x1.
If anyone have a fix to put it again 0x0 very appreciated otherwise the phone work fine and thank you very much for your help.

@Spacemonkie4207 never my itune was freeze, and i can do basic operation like transfer music or create playlist without any problem. My kies stay on connection in progress, and turn, turn, turn, but never connect. And when it connect, only one operation, and kies completely freeze, stop responding, need to close it, and open it again. Tried many cable, usb cable, reinstalling software, two other computer, but nothing to do.
I recovered back to stock from custom to 4.3 however if you do so, depending on carrier you could lose root and the ability to install custom recovery.
I would revert back to 4.2.2 (as it's knox free) go to samsungupdates (google it) and pull the 4.2.2 for your region and carrier. flash with odin 3.9
you'll lose root, but you can always perform again as long as not on 4.3 (with 4.3 u can still root if you remove all the knox stuff, u just lose warranty).

Hi, guys im having some issues and would like some expertise. Okay so i have an s4 the model is m919v but the model is unrelated to the problem. I was running custom roms and have been for a few months and i have a phone that has a locked sim. I heard from someone that i can flash an older version of my modem and get the service menu to unlock... point is i did it and it didnt unlock BUT THATS NOT MY ISSUE. I decided to then revert to stock because my phone was being really glitchy after i tried the unlock. Now i restored my phone and got a custom recovery installed a custom rom that was working flawlessly before is now also being glitchy the same way after i tried to unlock it,
These are some glitches im experiencing:
1) phone app is taking a long time to load and it doesnt type in numbers fast
2) when i call someone it just freezes and i cant go to the call screen
3) no notification sounds coming from my phone it just vibrates but doesnt ring
and im sure a few more
IM SURE THESE HAPPENED AFTER I WENT INTO THE SERVICE MENU AND TRIED TO UNLOCK MY DEVICE.
Someone please tell me what i can do to fix this because ive already reverted to stock once.

I would Odin back to stock firmware. Start over with a fresh install of the latest stock firmware available for your device. Then root, install recovery & backup stock rom so if something weird happens you can restore back. Once this is done, then it makes since to do a custom rom. Good luck.
I've spent a lot of time now trying to fix my phone and i'm really quite worried.
It's a Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-I337M (CSC I337MOYAAAMDJ, Baseband I337MVLUAMDJ, version 4.2.2).
I have had CM 10 on it running perfectly fine for about a year. I decided to update it though and didn't know that you could update CM right from the phone , so I downloaded the software from their site onto my phone and onto my PC. Followed the instructions installation froze and didn't move forward for over a day .... so I gave up.
I went looking for and downloaded the phone's stock firmware for both my carrier (Virgin Mobile, Canada) and for Bell's, so I installed TWRP with Odin 3.07 without issue. When I install the stock firmware my WiFi will not turn on.
So i've tried installing several rom's putting them on the SD card and using TWRP on my phone and i've found out that if I use Goldeneye and tell it my phone is an I9505, or hyperdrive (I9505) or at the moment Google Play Edition (JFLTE 5.01, kernel = Googy-Max3) that the WiFI DOES TURN ON as soon as the rom is loaded !!! So I thought I was good, but no
When flashed with either it's stock I337M firmware or these custom I9505 rom's my phone will play no audio. Chrome just crashes if I go to play any music or video. If someone call's, the ringer doesn't work but after several 'rings' my phone start's to vibrate indicating they called (aka the dialer lags out and then crashes). I can make calls too but when I talk the recipient can't hear me, nor I them.
It downloaded and re-installed all the app's of my google backup totally fine and using wi-fi. It play's games fine (but with no sound), i can txt fine, etc. It notices and connects to the network (Virgin Mobile) fine (I turned off wifi and tried downloaded stuff, txts go back and forth, and my phone labels Virgin)
I'm on a stupid 2 year contract and this phone cost $650 at the time I got it. It's knox 0x1 so no warranty to have it repaired. Does ANYONE have ANY idea what might be causing my phone not to play any sound's? I've tried pretty much everything I can think of.
I'd be willing to live with a totally cripples phone ... but it's got to at least work for receiving or sending phone calls and this sound issue crashes the dialer and even if I manage to pickup when it's vibrating before the other person has hung up there's no sound, neither of us can hear each other .
Does ANYONE have ANY idea what could be doing this or how to fix it? I'm so depressed and worried right now that I just a phone I spent a lot of money and am on a stupid contract on :/. I fixed the wifi problem by flashing with a rom that 'makes it' a GT-I9505G, baseband I337MUMUAMDL (v 5.0.1) (vs SGH-I337M, baseband I337MVLUAMDJ (v 4.2.2)), but the same sound and audio/media problem exist's no matter what firmware or version the phone ends up being .
I should have just left it with CM as it was but *sigh* here I am, please help.

try with this firmware
lets me see
k thanks i'll try it (once it's slow download is done) and update this post. Looks the same except I guess it's android v5.0.1 (well and it's a different CSC/PDA).
K well i've tried that firmware and it's given me some abnormal problems.
Odin typically just writes in like two minutes and boom done, but when I tried to flash with the firmware you suggested like every 15 seconds it would say ...
"Receive Response from boot -loader"
"Transmission Complete.."
"Now Writing .. Please wait about 2 minutes"
It kept cycling through those 3 messages until it FINALLY finished and it say's PASS but it took 9 min 53 seconds which is like 5 times longer then it's ever taken.
Wheather this is relevant or not i'm not sure just trying to give as much details as I can.
Anyways, after booting the phone the samsung logo came up as usual and usually it takes like 5-10 min sitting at this logo before the phone completes loading, presumably setting up the firmware I imagine.
It's been now sitting at that logo for over 20 minutes and i'm about to try wiping with TWRP the davlic cache/cache/data/internal and either trying again with odin (v3.07) OR
If that contines to not work I might put the tar.md5 on the external SD card and recover a saved backup I have on the SD card (with the stock firmware I had before that doesn't allow Wi-Fi to be enabled nor audio/media to play) and use Mobile Odin Pro .apk (I paid for the pro version) from within that restored recovery to flash the firmware you suggested to my phone again.
This is probably redundant but I just figure I might as well try absolutely everything I can possibly think of with your firmware.
If you have any idea why I might be experiencing these abnormal Odin flashing and/or initial loading conditions of the firmware you (or anybody ) suggested i'd appreciate any advice you can give.
I'm going to try and reflash with Odin on my PC again right now (i'm certain thing's like the USB cable are fine and my PC and phone can transfer data without issue .. but that's why i'm going to try mobile odin if after this next attempt doesn't work either).
I'll keep the thread updated, any and all advice is welcomed and highly appreciated
EDIT: OMG it made a like startup theme sound ... that's the first time it's outputted sound in 3 day's !!! It's at the Samsung screen loading the newly flashed firmware so hopefully that completes because wow my phone made noise finally !! Now to wait, and wait....
It won't go past the Samsung logo. So I guess i'll try Mobile Odin. I don't have much faith but it's worth trying.
Uh the backup of the stock firmware I made won't load ... but the hyperdrive rom did. Sound and the dialer work perfectly fine in this rom now, so I guess thing's are more or less fixed. Even though i've wiped the cache/davlic/internal/data in order to prepare to flash the other firmware or this hyperdrive rom (I wipe it every time) in this rom it's reporting my phone's baseband to be I337MVLUGOC4 which is that of the firmware you suggested ...
I'd still rather not use this rom, I thought it was ok at first but meh i'm going to try to go back to CM (after all this *rolls eyes*), trying to use Mobile Odin to install the firmware that you recommended and that appears to have ... somehow fixed the sound can't detect the model of my phone and is dumping, this is not something that has happened with the app before so I don't think i'll be flashing the firmware you suggested.
If it did something to globally fix the crashing when an app was instructed to play audio as it appears to have I guess i'm going to just go download the full CM now, put it on the SD card and install it with TWRP.
So uh, not 100% there yet but it does appear what you've suggested has solved my problem (because worst case scenario i'll just be stuck with the Hyperdrive rom ... but i'll have a working phone) so thanks so much bud I was quite upset and worried about what I was going to do still paying off a useless phone on a contract i'm stuck with for another year still.
I suppose there's no real need in continuing to update this thread as it appears my problems are solved and all that's left are things i'm doing not to fix anything but just because of personal preference over what rom to use but if you want to know anything more just ask, otherwise thank you so much you saved my ass and i'm very grateful.
