guys
i am having a strange issue with my galaxy s4 i9505.
its an astralian stock and bought it last month.
it has been working really fine but something just happened last night.
last night i flashed omega 13.1 mj5 and flashed mj5 modem as well but was having network issue. so i reverted back to phoenix 3.0.
then the alarm dint go off today morning and i started thinking why it dint go off or why i dint hear the alarm.
then when i tried to play music while going to office it hung and automatically restarted every time i tried to play music and music player was very very laggy and couldnt even click on any options properly.
then i tried to make a call and when i pressed call button screen sort of went black only status bar visible and phone stopped responding to touch at all but the call went through.
after touching the screen constantly the screen became responsive after 40-45 seconds. but whenever i tried to make a call or receive a call same thing happened again.
anything else music or making or receiving calls work fine.
i tried to play ringtone and it restarted the phone again.
i full wiped the phone again from CWM and reflashed the rom and still same issue.
i flashed another 4.3 rom and same issue again.
i went into test mode and everything went fine except speaker test.
speakers dint amke any sound.
the phone is under warranty and i will be giving it for service.
but just wanted to know if any one has any cluse what it might be?
it might be co-incidence but it happened just after i tried to flash omega 13.1.
any1 plz
Flash a different modem. That should probably fix it.
Same happened to me
Exactly this same thing has just happened to me! it started when i flashed 13.1 over 13.0 i installed 13.2 today and same problem!
Edit: Flashing a different ROM does not help! i have tried 5 different ROM's!

I hope this make sense to you
For the people that have the old bootloader they need MGA NON-HLOS.bin to have the sound back.and then for the people that have the new bootloader they need MJ5 NON-HLOS.bin
guys thnx a lot for the replies.
i flashed mga modem and then tried to flash samsung original mga rom through odin.
but got this error. tried 5-6 times and everytime same error

Bootloop is a "Soft Brick" and can be recovered using CWM or any CWM based recovery.
Hard Brick is a state where the Device is totally dead for the end user, It will not show any screen activites or respond to buttons or no led activities.
Your is a Soft Brick and few steps will recover your device if followed carefully:
- Use Aroma File Manager to backup your data to External SDCard. Backup "/data/app" to External SDCard. You can also try replacing "/system/app" and "/system/framework" with your ROM "/system" if you suspect that some app or mod has done changes in the /system.
- Do a Full Wipe of Cache/Dalvik and try to boot.
- If not booting then Do a Full Wipe of Cache/Dalvik and install "PhoeniX ROM" and reboot. Wait for 10-15 minutes.
- Wipe Cache/Dalvik and Flash Perseus Kernel and Reboot.
This should bring back you device.
If nothing works then Flash STOCK 4.3 from Odin 3.09 as instructed in forum.
Good Luck.

Ok, if you had before a stock 4.3 Rom, you will not be able to flash anymore a 4.2.2 stock rom. If that rom you are using doesn't work, try a different sammobile stock rom, I suggest the newest 4.3 Rom for your country or carrier, or any fob from a different country with same 3G frequency bands.
Use always Odin 3.07 or 3.09, never use 1.85 except for cfautoroot.
Please, report back your final solution.

You won't ever be able to flash second rom because it is 4.2 and you have 4.3 bootloader.
As last chance, I assume you are using Odin 3.09 and no a different version, try again to flash 4.3 stock rom twice at same time, I mean, first, uncheck reboot after flash option, first flash, check back reboot option, second flash, and unwire and see what happen.
If this doesn't fix it sorry, but it would sound as any PCB damage (hardware), and you should go to SAT.
Here in this point, I am so sorry, but our sub

Hello. recently i flashed samsung official ROM on my galaxy, from cyanogen 11... then, i flashed it back to cyanogen, and a misterious thing happened : wifi and bluetooth are not turning on. i tried most of the tutorials, and nothing rappened. even flashing back to the official ROM , wifi kept not working. i was ready to send it to the warranty,then i used triangle away on it. when i booted the phone on, with the binary reseted, everything workerd fine again. then, i flashed back to cyanogen, and same problem. i think this is related with the custom binary status, it does block the wifi somehow. someone experiencing the same thing? some knows a solution? srry for bad english.

Hi All,
I bought a new S4 i9500 in Chennai today from a retailer.
I saw that it had android 4.2.2 installed.
I connected via wifi and got a 343mb update and i updated it.
after that i received few more updates for 43 mb 26 mb and 12mb and updated them all
Finally it showed "all latest updated have already been installed"
Now i again checked the about phone but kernel information has changed but phone still shows android 4.2.2
I read online that for India the 4.4.2 Kitkat is already out
Why is that my phone is showing "all latest updated have already been installed" and remaining on 4.2.2 wherein it must actually show 4.4.2 kitkat update?
Kindly advise

I don't know the reason,but comparing ur stats with mine,the only difference is SE thing,which is enforcing in my case and permissive in urs...
No idea if that makes any difference..
edit:flash 4.4.2 via Odin,from sammobile.. But do remember that u will get Knox bootloader in ur phone.
Similarly,u can go to Samsung care and get it updated..

You will get Odin3 v3.07.exe along with few other files.
Step 3: Run Odin3 v3.09 as an Administrator.
Step 4: Switch off the Galaxy S4 and boot it into
Download Mode by pressing and holding Volume Down,
Home and Power buttons.
Step 5: Connect the Galaxy S4 to the computer via the
USB cable and wait until a blue sign appears in Odin.
Step 6: Click on the AP button in Odin and select
the .tar.md5 file that was extracted in Step 1.
Step 7: In Odin, ensure that the Auto Reboot and F.
Reset Time options are checked.

Hi everyone once again you all are great and i did download and flash the 4.4.2 and now my phone runs a lot smoother as well as kitkat is awesome.
i got around 20% increase in all benchmark results (quadrant,antutu,linpack,epic citadel) and also the os is more fast and smooth.
thanks everyone for your help
my device status also is still showing official and not custom after flashing with odin.
thanks everyone
same issue

Hi All,
I bought a new S4 i9500 in Chennai today from a retailer.
I saw that it had android 4.2.2 installed.
I connected via wifi and got a 343mb update and i updated it.
after that i received few more updates for 43 mb 26 mb and 12mb and updated them all
Finally it showed "all latest updated have already been installed"
Now i again checked the about phone but kernel information has changed but phone still shows android 4.2.2
I read online that for India the 4.4.2 Kitkat is already out
Why is that my phone is showing "all latest updated have already been installed" and remaining on 4.2.2 wherein it must actually show 4.4.2 kitkat update?
Kindly advise
VJ

Hi,I personally feel there is no difference in the heat from the phone.whenever i run a benchmark like quadrant or antutu the phone heats up quickly. even in 4.4.2 too.one more thing i found out is the battery drain.the phone is just one week old and battery drains like hell.within 2 hrs of chaton and msging friends the battery falls from 100 to 63% which is way too bad.i dont understand why this crazy battery drain.

Hi
If you are unable to get OTA update then there is something seriously wrong with your phone. First make sure it is 9500 as the update is aimed at 9500 only. If you still cant update it I would strongly suggest you go to a samsung service center. There is no reason why you can not receive the update over the air. One of my friend had purchased a phone from black market. When he did not receive 4.2.2 update he goes to the service center and it turns out that his was a imitation.
