Installed i9500 ROM instead of i9505 ROM - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was trying to install the GoldenEye Rom 12 for the S4 i9505. I don't know how, but I accidentally installed the Rom for the S4 i9500. Now I'm unable to make/receive calls and Wifi is disabled.. It occasionally lags on almost every app. When I'm making calls, I'm able to dial the number. As soon as I hit the call button, my phone screen turns black and the notification bar starts flickering. As for receiving calls, I'm unable to pick up calls as the screen doesn't even appear. I tried restoring from a nandroid backup, flashing a stock rom/recovery and it doesn't solve the problem. Any ideas how do I solve it?

Help please.. It's urgent

Hey
Is your phone definitely GT-I9505?
Which operator/telco are you using, in which country?
That happened to me when they first upgraded to the new bootloader. My guess is you're still on the older non-KNOXy one?

It's weird that your phone's not bricked. I would make sure that you're actually using a i9505 then download a rom for that device and flash it.

[Q] CanĀ“t use Phone app

Hello, I have problem.
Iam using noobdev 4.4. CM11 nightly on my i9505 without problem, but suddenly, maybe after last nightly update phone app stop work.
I can go to internet, receive messages, but when i want to call someone the screen goes black and doesn't answer and the menu bar "flash" I have to wait during 20-30 seconds before to return on my home screen. When I receive a call, after answering it, screen goes black too. I cant hear the person on the other side, and they cant hear me.
I tried everything, flashing many other modems/radios, roms, restoring backups, flashing another recovery, flashing official firmware and it still dont work.
Help me please:crying:

[Q] I9505 sound and dial.apk problem!!

Hi! I have a problem with my Samsung I9505. I have Omega v19 based on firmware XXUEML6 Android 4.3 and I decided to flash a stock firmware I9505XXUEMKF_I9505COAEMJ8_COA. Unfortunately I had some issues and I don't know why. Fortunately I had philz_touch_5.18.9-i9505.tar cwm and was able to flash Omega v19 back. Everything its working fine but the dial and the sound. I don't have any sound, meaning I can't hear anything, no music no ringtones, nothing. And the second problem its the dial. So in the main screen I touch the phone widget everything its working fine but when I try to call someone my screen goes all black and starts to flicker and nothing happens, only after aprox 10 SECONDS appears the dialing screen but I cant hear the other person and neither can he. I don't know if its soft bricked or bricked but please help someone. I told you besides this two problems everything works well and even cwm and download mode. PLEASE HELP!!!

Flash a stock rom

In/Out CallUI serious problem

Hey guys, I've rooted and installed custom roms without any problem on my note 2 and hammerhead. yesterday I rooted my brothers' in law note3, using cf auto root. Had some problems with flashing cwm, but finally made it. now im on philz newest recovery. I tried already like 5-6 different roms and versions ( aosp - slimroms, cm, liquidsmooth ) and everywhere I encouter the same problem - when dialling number screen suddenly goes black, I can't see picture, in calling buttons, the only way i can finish call is by pressing home button, swiping down notification drawer and finish call from there. The same happens when I try to answer the call, I get initial screen, and after accepting the call screen goes totally black. It happens on every rom I flash ( aosp ). Any ideas? I would appreciate your help so much,

Have tried this also! Didn't work! The fon simply doesn't respond at all! M unable to use it!!
Any other solution pls??
Thanks to the bad gplay updates, the software is pretty bugged. Just download the stock firmware and check checksums before flash. Or flash custom rom from the section down below.
Dont know if you already tried but did you do a factory reset after the 4.4.4 update. I know OTA updates shouldn't mess stuff but sometimes they do.

I had flashed CM12 (5.1.1). It all went well - the flashing & all! But, i cudn't make any calls!
I have installed this ROM on my S3 Neo! But, m unable to make any call (From the SIM 1. Haven't used SIM 2 coz of the Audio prob being faced in the SIM 2 as mentioned in the thread). Whenever I make a call (sim 1), it gives an error - PROCESS SYSTEM ISN"T RESPONDING! Do u want to close it?
Even if i Click WAIT, nothing happens, there;s just a green screen being continuously displayed for about 30 seconds and then automatically, it gets back to the HOME SCREEN~!
I am unable to receive any incoming call also! The fon automatically reboots if a call comes and once it restarts, it shows the log in MISSED CALL!
Pls. Help! How to solve this out?
UPDATE :- I flashed CM11 after this problem thinking it might solve the problem but of no use again! Even, after installing CM11, I am unable to make any calls! The screen just goes blank! And then automatically gets back to the home screen! It's not showing the error of PROCESS SYSTEM NOT RESPONDING as it used to show up in CM12!
Now, pls. some one tell me it's solution at the earliest!! Pls..
