I9505 No Sound, Cant Make Calls Or Receive

Hi.
I have a problem with my device.
Recently i try-d to flash miui v5 from:
miuiandroid_jfltexx_jb-3.9.13.zip md5sum: 7c097742b0f84b1ea5ab39acd5b56dc3
After i made wipe data, syste, preload flash failed, so i made another one and it succeeded.
After reboot i saw only greenish android logo which went nowhere.
So i tried third time with philz recovery and it booted up.
And then there was no sound at all.
Then i wiped data and flashed back stock firmware:
I9505XXUAMDM
After that no sound, no wifi and no calling.
Well then i tried older firmware-s.
And now i just tried latest cm10.2 21.09.2013
Well wifi started to work again, but no sound.
Tried calling, but app just freezes and i cant heare anything.
I am just wondering that how wifi just started working again?
Maybe sound and calling can be fixed somehow similar way.
Kristjan

Pls help, i have same problem, tried several rom not ok, when make call then phone freezes.

nop, just noticed that problem is related only in sounds.
calling crashes just because cant somehow andoid cant use speakers

also found error useing logcat:
getDeviceForStrategy() speaker device not found"

somehow i managed to get emergency download before boot up.
intructions said to start up kies and start recovery from there.
well did that, entered model and s/n and it flashed newest firmware and now its fully working again

got same problem yesterday after updating to latest omega... no sound at all, tried doing restore, tried again full wipe, tried changing kernels, after that tried different roms - no success, sound is lost somehow.
problem was resolved only after flashing through Odin 3.09 NEE firmware I9505XXUBMGA_I9505OXXBMG3_I9505XXUBMGA_HOME.

Omega rom killed my sounds!

I will try one last time to install Omega v12 before I revert to stock that you mentioned....very disapointed...S4 is such a buggy crap bag
Still love omega rom and everyones effort tho...
OK sound is back after flashing thru odin 3.04 - I9505XXUDMH8_I9505OXXDMHA_I9505XXUDMH8_HOME.tar.....but I am now going to try flashing omega v12 with cwm recovery instead of twrp and see if that makes any diff or just breaks again!
OK!!!! I flashed via odin - CWM recovery 6.0.3.2 and then flashed the omega v12 zip without wiping in CWM but allowing aroma to do the work for me. And I HAVE SOUND and CALLS and no crashes thus far...Hope this helps anyone out there.

[Q] NAE MODEM Update - No Sound?

I hate to beat a dead horse here but i've been having nothing but troubles trying to upgrade my modem to NAE.
The modem it self flashes fine --- my baseband show NAE and firmware also. However, i have no audio output. As other users have described my dialer freezes (assuming from no audio output), playing music FCs DSP Manager, etc,etc.
I've tried flashing a 4.3 ROM then the modem then boot and then flash a KK rom. - No Luck
I've tried a NAE kernel after modem update (KTs Kernel) - No Luck
I just dont know what to do to get the NAE modem functional for me.
Thanks as always.

Have you tried to hard reset after the flashing? Anytime I've had major issues I would revert all the way back to mdl, update ota to mk2, root, custom recovery, backup then flash nae modem, recovery, reset, Rom, kernal if needed. Backup again if everything is working. I've never had any sound issue within any of my flashing. Odin version also plays a big deal, make sure you're running the most updated version. I hope this helps in some way. Good luck

Having the exact same issues. =(

Ya I had the same ****ty luck guys.
I was on mdl. Did the mf9 full update tar. Then flashed nae modem. All went find to then find out I lost sound.
Is updating OTA the ONLY way to get to mf9 before flashing the modem that will work?
I wanted to reflash sacs kk rom and get it working

I've tried hard reseting after flash. Im on MF9 Bootloader, Im pretty sure.
I used Odin V 3.07 to flash, Im not sure if thats the most recent version.
Ive read too that other people uncheck the F Reset Time and Auto-Reboot Options to get the modem to stick. I've done this too and the modem flashes (fine) when I pull up the page in settings.
Still I cant get any audio, or dialer(guessing because of the touch tones) on any ROM.
Any else find a resolution to this? I think I've seen a handful of us with this issue.

Having the same issue
Rather than start a new thread, i will post my issues here
Not sure what im doing wrong or what can be done to fix my issues. Originally was on the MDL baseband with stock rooted rom. I used the all in one MF9 (Modem/Kernel/Bootloader/ROM) to get all my parts running on MF9. At this point everything was running Great
I used this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2277480
made sure to follow every instruction carefully and updated to 4.4.2 NAE while keeping my baseband MF9
The Rooted Stock NAE rom gave me many issues:
1) No Sound
2) Very long/ sometimes unresponsive wake
3) Screen lag/delay when swiping left/right through apps
4) I could not use the camera
5) When i would press the volume rocker it would make my phone freeze and be very delayed
6) Could not make a phone call, I could receive a call but would no be able to Talk to or Hear the other Person
7) Screen would lag or sometimes freeze and go black when i enter my pin or pattern to unlock
8) I could not use wifi (solved this issue by using KToonsez latest Kernel)
I decided to change the rom and see if that would help.
I Flashed to CandyKat 4.4.2 rom and I noticed a great improvement
All of my lag issues were resolved, wifi was working without changing the Kernel
the only issues that still remained were:
1) No sound
2) Could not make a phone call, I could receive a call but would no be able to Talk to or Hear the other Person
3) Camera would sometimes work. but mostly would crash or give me an error
Sorry for the wall of text but i tried to include all the details for you. Anyone know what i am doing wrong or if there is a way to resolve these issues?

Yes, the is a very easy way to fix this, install the full NAE stock tar and enjoy a fully functioning kit kat phone. When you piecemeal an install like this, you have nothing but problems. I love when people claim everything's working great, except when I try to make a call, use camera, etc, etc. Just install the full tar, root, and enjoy your phone. And if your worried about Knox, suck it up, Knox does nothing to hamper you from customizing your phone.

thank you, hope you can help

Downgraded from NC5 to MK2 and rooted, now no sound and phone app slow/crashes

Hello.
I followed the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51955929&postcount=1 to downgrade from NC5 to MK2 and then rooted.
After all was done, rooted and booted, my sound doesn't work, the phone call app lags big time and/or crashes, and I can't do speech-to-text for messaging cause mic won't activate (says can't reach Google but I have Internet connection).
I already tried clearing cache partition.
I'm unclear on how to flash fixes with safestrap or if that's even a solution. Any help is appreciated and thanked.
Thanks!

Did you flash fixed kernel ?

Not sure about the kernel but I figured it out. I skipped optional step because I thought it was optional. It wasn't. I flashed nc2 modem hlos file and that fixed sound, phone app and mic for messaging.
New issue now though. WiFi doesn't work. I tried flashing bypass as it said in thread but no joy.
Thanks.

You have version form Verizon so I'm not sure about this kernel, but in every tutorial for downgrade we have this kernel which fix sound and wifi.

What ****ing mania of downgrade! Flash android 4.4.2 again and bye bye problems.

not just their obsession they hope to get rid of Knox but will not succeed. the only option is to make that be replaced motherboard with warranty in Samsung service centre

No Audio at all!

Volume is absolutely up, I don't have it on silent mode or priority mode only or anything, plus alarm doesn't make sound and some other things, just to clarify I'm not being dumb.
Any app that tries to produce sound crashes, like if I play a video on YouTube or in Chrome, if I open anything like AudioFX or what have you.
I think the most important thing is that this is occurring on every ROM, and I don't know what to do. I just fixed my data issue that was persistent on every ROM, but this is more important to me because I need my phone for an alarm clock among other things.
I have wiped, wiped, and wiped again. I flashed stock Touchwiz, tried older nightlies of CM12 I know were fine, tried other ROMs, etc. It doesn't make a difference, the effect is still the same no matter what.
I have tried pluggging in and unplugging headphones over and over. There isn't even an indication it's plugged in. There's also no way in hell I damaged the speaker or anything, and that wouldn't really explain crashes on YouTube and so forth anyway.
I have reset, without a charger plugged in over 10 times. Powered off and on 10 times. This was apparently a solution to a similar issue with the Nexus 5 on Lollipop. But do note that this issue isn't even restricted to Lollipop.
Please, if anyone has any ideas, even if they probably won't work, I'm pretty desperate to get this working again.

I solved it. It's caused by the NAE modem for some reason. Flashing any previous modem has working audio, and flashing NAE again breaks it again (just to verify that was the cause).
I don't know much about it, but how does the modem have any effect on audio?

Dang had I seen this earlier I would a told you exactly what you found. I had same issue going from MF9 modem to NAE. Trick is to flash MK(whatever number) boot up normally, then reboot and flash NAE modem and boot. Cheers!

I had similar problem...had tried everything and then some. Was about to flash odin that revererted everything to stock unrooted. Was going to take in to sprint. Noticed files to download mismatched mine so odin back to mk2 and had sound so moved on up to NAE and still had sound. Then on to 4.4.2 rom and NG2 and all good. Go figure...was coming on here to tell you Glad u got it.

I9505 - No sound

I lived with firmware 4.2.2 throughout 3 years and finally decided to update firmware to somewhat fresh. So I have chosen Ressurection Remix and flashed it. All went almost fine for a day, but then all sound disappeared (both on back speaker and headphones).
I tried to restore nandroid backup - that didn't work. I flashed back RR, tried CM13 - nothing.
Front speaker and microphone seems to be working, I can make calls normally. I've read many articles in internet and did a lot of strange fix attempts such as jack clean, memory card detach/insert, quick plugging in and out headphones etc.
A little more details: when I plug in headphones, they appear in notification bar with random lag (0-20 seconds), and disappear with lag too (but don't work). The most strange part is that OS lags when I do some actions that should involve sound play (such as ringtone preview, changing volume etc.). When I try to play some music, player just doesn't go beyond 0:00-0:01 and pauses.
Is this a 100% hardware problem? Or it could possibly be fixed?

Try flashing the latest stock rom from sammobile.com using Odin.

Is that necessary? If I upgrade bootloader, I will never be able to restore 4.2.2.
I've found strange error in logcat:

Problem is you moved from KitKat bootloader to Marshmallow bootloader. Try flash the ROM again now.

I flashed the ROM multiple times, nothing is changed. I even flashed original clean 4.2.2, but WiFi stopped working (even after modem downgrade).

When I flashed RR, I also flashed latest modem (on old modem signal was very unstable), but saved old bootloader. When I downgraded to 4.2.2, I also downgraded the modem.

Everything works on RR except for sound (which doesn't work at least on RR, CM13, stock 4.2.2). Ok, I'll try to flash 4-file latest stock Lollipop later today, I have nothing to lose.

If on lollipop sound doesn't work.. Not good to hear but it's an hardware problem.

I had no time to flash official firmware on work days, but I've found out that speaker and heaphones work! But only during calls (speakerphone). Now I'm totally confused.

I've flashed stock 4.2.2 ROM twice in a row and it did help! https://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/79112-i9505-no-sound-cant-make-calls-or-receive/
But then I've flashed CM13 and don't have any sound again!
Is there any chance to flash CM13 and save the sound? Maybe I should just flash latest bootloader with KNOX?

Try flashing the latest stock ROM, then CM13.
