Hey all, i got this serious problem.
I've flashed most of the cutom roms right after buying the phone but at some moment i decided i wanted to return to stock again as the phone was behaving weird. I did, was a TNL 4.3 dutch stock rom. After some months i began to encounter no reception problems, it first started once a week for a whole day then it was 3 days problems 1 day reception. I then decided to flash a new 4.4 custom rom to see if it solves the issue but it didnt, i tried to flash a 4.3 rom and then the no sound/black screen/ phone dialer freezes started to occur. I flashed the 4.4 UFNA1 modem, it still persists, i flashed the nightly 4.4 rom and reflashed the UFNA1 modem twice (which was done correctly) and i still have no sound etc... What am i doing wrong here? I feel terrible as i also have no warranty left ofcourse.. Btw. I tried flashing to several stock roms by ODIN which coused the program to freeze and the phone went into a bootloop, which could be fixed by just flashing a custom recovery, and after that ofcourse a custom rom.. Very strange! Someone has an idea??
thanks
Can anyone help me?

It actually worked. Thanks!
There's only this thing, which i can't test atm, but the sim reception problem i talked about, will that be fixed too?? That's the biggest issue and iv've read a lot about it on the net, nobody could seem to fix it. Lots of em said it was an internal error which got fixed by their warranty (they say they got new phones, up till 3 times..) They tried replacing sim/sd bay which didn't solve a thing. Anyone else experiencing this problem and got it fixed??
thanks

Hey, didn't i just flash a modem? Which fixed the sound/freeze bug etc? What if i reflash another (4.3) one and get that old problem again? (im on 4.4.2) I tried selected gsm/lte/wcdma settings manually, the phone was totally dead. My little brother who owns exactly the same phone and carrier (tmobile) have had 0 problems with his phone, he never touched it though and only recently upgraded to 4.3 by KIES. I tried switching out sim cards and my card worked on his phone, but his card didn't work on mine.

We already fixed the Sound problem and Im sure that signal Dropping issue can fix it easy just flashing a different modem/ or setup the right APN.
Hey all, the XXUFNA5 modem helped out great, untill today where i'm getting no reception at all again.. i'm on the Google Edition 4.4.2 rom prerooted for about 3 days. My speeds and reception were great before this and had no sound/freezing issues aswell. Anybody know what to do?? If i look in the REF modem topic, it's not showing any new modems? Am i missing something? Thanks in advance!!!
Edit* it seems in Holland they are using this modem -> I9505XXUFNC4
Cant find it anywhere though, any tips??
Thanks

Come on guys, not one reply? This is urgent, need some help!
I'm having this reception problem ever since I got this phone from my friend overseas I tried everything flash stock ROM ,change modems, flash custom roms and still no signal I tried different Sim cards also, I'm guessing maybe something is wrong with the main board? So I just gave up and started using it as a media phone alone

Hi there, new to the forums posting but I read here constantly. I have an sm-900w8 note from Telus in Canada. I was running a custom rom before and decided I wanted to go back to stock before the Kitkat release. Anyway, I flashed the rom from sammobile.com that was for my phone (the link said it was for telus and the file even ends in TLS). So I flash it using odin and everything is perfect, the phone reboots and odin is finished. After that I decided I wanted to clear all my data and apps off the phone as well so I did a factory reset. The next time I turn the phone on everything is working (wifi gps ect) but I can't get on the network and it says I don't have a valid SIM. Also I notice the app packages from telus are not the correct ones and one of them is labelled Bell. So I am guessing the site has the bell firmware for telus as well? This doesn't matter to me but I do need my network running. Do you think it would just be a modem problem? Any information would be GREATLY appreciated guys!

The first and most important question: Do you have a backup of your EFS folder?
If so, you'll be happy. If not, prepare for the worst case scenario.

Seems you have installed a carrier FW on your device and it has SIM LOCKED it. try flashing another.
EDIT: @donalgodon - it's only really EFS when it boot loops and shows Android process not responding etc :good:

Well, that's not exactly accurate. The phone can boot with a corrupted EFS, but you will get no network access (and no IMEI number.)
It's happened to me, so I know it's possible. It's a common symptom of the OP's issues on Samsung devices.

Yeah I am sure I'm not in dire straights yet and lucily I have my backup phone to use for now. I am wondering though, sammobile is the most legit source for stock firmware around, do you guys have any suggestions? Or can I possibly even try just flashing a new modem through odin? (I have never done this but seems easy enough)

True, however, OP states that it was Telus FW that was downloaded and flashed...but it's showing BELL.settings, So the probability of it being EFS is low, it's sim locked the device via the BELL firmware more than likely. Reflashing the correct or unbranded firmware will indeed fix it

Well Sammobile isn't immune to mistakes, but it's rare it happens, they're genuine enough.. You could try the modem, first thing I'd do is test the back up and see if it's the downloaded ROM that has cause the issue.
And yes, you can flash the modem via Odin.

So please all I ask is if anybody could help me fixing this tht wud b much appreciated
And whoz ever solution works im willing to donate £20 I promise

Check to see if you still have your imei or not... That's probably the reason, you lost your efs/imei...
If that's the case then if your made a efs backup like you should have,restore it. If not, try flashing stock.

Did you test your sim card and make sure it is ok? Try to out this sim card into another phone and make sure it works? Put another gud sim card into your Note 3 and check if the problem still persist?

Here the screenshoot
Anybody please
No Network neither
Hi everyone,
i got almost the same problem. My SM-N9005 was on the Standard TouchWiz Rom (4.3, rooted) when i updated to 4.4.2 via Kies and rooted it again.
Now my Phone shows me signal bars but tells me "Emergency calls only". I still have my IMIE.
I reflashed the stock ROM but that did not fix my problem sadly.
Hope you can help me!
UPDATE:
I reflashed the stock recovery once again and factory reset/wiped the data and now it somehow works again. Maybe that helps
UPDATE 2:
It seems like that was just working for a short moment, now after flashing the X-Note ROM (and Kernel) the "not registered in Network" message comes again though i got like 4 bars. The bars just are random somehow and jump up and down every few seconds.
Another Update:
While charging the phone (via PC or via the original Charger) i get a Message that it stopped charging because the battery temperature is too low. I Hope nothing went physically wrong?
your note 3 seems to be unlocked by SPT box or BST dongle
select wcdma/gsm or 3g/2g in mobile network and your network will connect
hope this helps:fingers-crossed:
Thanks for the reply, but my I bought my note 3 unlocked and new from my carrier and havent changed anything regarding the IMIE.
I was thinking about the modem beeing broke down while i updated to kitkat, and therefore flashing a new one. Any ideas on that?

If everything else fails try to write in Odin (or better yet in Mobile Odin Pro) just the modem - and aim for an older version, something like MI6 (present in MI7 firmware) or MJ1. With Mobile Odin Pro you MUST be on stock recovery and it will work perfectly first time, with normal Odin there are some reports that you might need to write it twice or something like that - search around.

Tried that, had the same problems with the MI6, and with the MJ1 it got stock when i tried to unlock it...I was on the Xnote ROM though, Ill once again will try flashing the stock rom...
did you try another sim card ?
Sadly, the sim card works in my Note 2 without any problems... I think its sth that got physically destroyed somehow. When i plug it into the charger is says "stopped charging battery too cold"

Hello, a few days ago, my brother rooted his galaxy S4 with Odin, then he decided to go back to the stock version without root permission. But during the installation of the firmware, the computer is turned off. So I decided to try again to install the firmware with Odin. The installation went fine, but the audio and the wi-fi didn't work. So I decided to install a recovery (jflte cwm 6.0.5.0) and install the latest nightly of CyanogenMod 11 Now the wi-fi works perfectly, but the audio doesn't work. I have done many tests reading on the forum, I also changed kernel but nothing.
Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance!

Yes, the dialer doesn't work, in the audio settings I can't hear the different ring tones. If I raise the volume up you I can't hear the classic " beep " .
So completely without audio.

Hi,
Yes the problem is related to modem! But to get it working again it's not necessary to go to the latest modem, actually it may not be the solution! Try installing the Galaxy Info app from Play Store ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo) and check your bootloader version, with it you'll have to flash the same version of modem as the bootloader you have.
If that doesn't solve the problem, you'll have to upgrade your modem, just change one version above and keep trying until it works. I know it's tedious, but that's the method I use and always worked .

I've installed the Galaxy info app, and my bootloader was equal to XXUGNG2.
So, I've flashed with Odin the GNG2 modem first, then the 4 and the 8. But the audio still doesn't work.
So, I've flashed with the GNG8 modem his correlated bootloader, but the problem still persists. Any ideas?

Hi,
Not many ideas here. But anyway, just in case you want to try I'm using XXUFNB8 bootloader with the XXUFNB8 modem. If you are running a bootloader newer than mine don't even consider changing your bootloader, but maybe the modem may help.
If you are sure you tried as many possible combinations of BL and MDM, then try flashing another zip, as this one may be corrupted...

My sound still comes and goes as it pleases.. It seems like it is having its own life - Sometimes it stays for hours, then goes away for 10 minutes and sometimes it's the other way around.
Anyway, I've tried the phone-info app, and my bootloader (as expected) is: I9505XXUFNB9.
My Baseband version is also I9505XXUFNB9. PDA and CSC are both blank.
It still bugs me a lot I must say...
up, same problem here.
I've tried everything.. Any news?
So.. Just wanted to update you guys..
I've now been "with sound" for about 20 hours, which is a new record, and I think that it will stay.

Flashed EuroSkank 22-10-2014

Hi,
I've had som rough weeks with my GS4 I9505. Hopefully some of you can help me.
I'm running CM11 nightlies, which was doing pretty great, until 3 weeks ago, where the media sound disappeared.
Well actually, I found out that the media sound WAS playing, but it was SUPER low. I had to put the volume at max and lay my ear directly on the speaker to hear it just a bit.
I read that a couple of others had the same problem, or at least I thought so, but now I tend more to think that my problem is/was hardware related.
Anyway, I tried flashing a lot of different firmwares, to match the bootloader and so on.
I am currently on:
Bootloader: I9505XXUFNB9
Baseband: I9505XXUFNB9
PDA/CSC: BLANK
The latest stock Samsung firmware I flashed, was: I9505XXUFNB9_I9505NEEFNB2_NEE
I am from Denmark and my phone is unbranded.
When I did that, the phone got VERY slow and wifi didn't work. Then I flashed CM11 again and wifi worked.
But now I am totally unable to make calls, it just freezes up and finally makes the call, but the call-speaker, media-speaker and microphone doesn't work.
When I try playing video (and some games) the specific app freezes and crashes too.
If I at least could get back to where my call-speaker/microphone worked and I had super-low audio I'd be ever so happy, 'cause then I can go and get a new media-speaker.
I hope someone can help me, otherwise I'll have to trash this phone, which I've been pretty happy to use for a while now.
Any pointers will do!
Thank you in advance.

Hi mate , hi DeepankarS
Seem like two different problems here.....
the low volume may be a hardware problem , the speaker gone bad , if you can hear fine with your earphones i would say is a speaker problem...really easy to replace btw.
the other problems showed up after flashing so i asume they come from bad flashing........backup , also efs folder , do a factory reset and flash stock again.......what recovery you have ? the important thing is to leave the phone clean before you flash with Odin

Hi MAX 404
Yea, they started when flashing new bootloader and modem.
I'll try that in the morning (again) - It's quite late here.
I'm on Philz at the moment.
So, the phone should be totally clean before flashing with Odin? I don't think I did that last time actually
What firmware should I flash? The same as last time?

Download the latest 4.4.2 for your phone and then in odin, uncheck auto reboot.
After flashing keep the phone off for 30seconds plus and then turn it on

Well actually I don't know which one is the latest.
I'm from Denmark, which isn't listed on sammobile.com - Anyway, the last firmware I flashed was I9505XXUFNB9_I9505NEEFNB2_NEE
Should this be fine to try again (again...) or is there a new one for my phone?

Dowbload any october/september build without carrier locking.
AFAIK, there was this UK one of October. You can try that
Also there is an Ireland one without carrier locking
AND IF YOU ARE ROOTED AS OF NOW, BACKUP EFS BEFORE FLASHING.
Use a good rated efs backup app from the playstore.

Hi ,
you have two options , factory reset and clean to install a new rom , try them both
Also would not hurt to mounts and storage menu/ format data and /datamedia ( /sdcard) that is your internal SDcard so is really clean....but after that you need to have a custom rom in the externalSD or go to download mode and flash with odin ....
Same rom as before should be fine....or download it again just to make sure is ok
BAckup first!! efs folder also.

The only one I see as "unbranded" is from Ireland, as you're saying.
Should I try flashing this?
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/38024/I9505XXUGNG8_I9505TSIGNG1_TSI.zip/
The only thing I'm worried about is this: CSC: I9505TSIGNG1, as it looks kinda branded to me.

Currently on Stock Samsung 4.4.2, but it is running slow, without wifi, the vibration is all wrong (small, random bursts of vibration all the time).
Should I try flashing CM11, or just give up?
Neo3000x said:
Hi,
I've had som rough weeks with my GS4 I9505. Hopefully some of you can help me.
I'm running CM11 nightlies, which was doing pretty great, until 3 weeks ago, where the media sound disappeared.
Well actually, I found out that the media sound WAS playing, but it was SUPER low. I had to put the volume at max and lay my ear directly on the speaker to hear it just a bit.
I read that a couple of others had the same problem, or at least I thought so, but now I tend more to think that my problem is/was hardware related.
Anyway, I tried flashing a lot of different firmwares, to match the bootloader and so on.
I am currently on:
Bootloader: I9505XXUFNB9
Baseband: I9505XXUFNB9
PDA/CSC: BLANK
The latest stock Samsung firmware I flashed, was: I9505XXUFNB9_I9505NEEFNB2_NEE
I am from Denmark and my phone is unbranded.
When I did that, the phone got VERY slow and wifi didn't work. Then I flashed CM11 again and wifi worked.
But now I am totally unable to make calls, it just freezes up and finally makes the call, but the call-speaker, media-speaker and microphone doesn't work.
When I try playing video (and some games) the specific app freezes and crashes too.
If I at least could get back to where my call-speaker/microphone worked and I had super-low audio I'd be ever so happy, 'cause then I can go and get a new media-speaker.
I hope someone can help me, otherwise I'll have to trash this phone, which I've been pretty happy to use for a while now.
Any pointers will do!
Thank you in advance.

Then your hardware is dead. You already had low sound.
Get a speaker replacement and google this
Galaxy s4 teardown ifixit.com amd follow the steps to fix your speaker. Hardly takes 10 minutes.
Edit : Wait sound as in no audio in all the speakers?

Sorry I'm a noon, don't do all those font sizes and colours and pictures aha but basically... I've been on CyanogenMod for about a year now and have never had WiFi issues. Been using cm12 nightlies for most of this year with no problem however, after updating my nightly the past two days I've been experiencing WiFi Drops happening every min and a half or so. So annoying. I've used Wifix apps etc, no luck. I've reverted to old night lies I used to run without any problems however the problem stays. I've consider flashing back to TouchWiz to see if that helps it but I really don't want to
Can someone please help me. My phone is on contract and my bill is overdue so I won't have mobile data until it's cleared (around June) so if I don't have WiFi, I'm screwed.

Have you tried flashing a new modem? This generally fixes wifi (and sound issues if there are any)
I barely know what a modem is haha but if that's the case, I'll try today.
Here you have a list of modems. Read the topic as it also has some info and the flashing guide.
You need to go to sammobile firmware checker and input your phone model, country and carrier. Then it will show you the correct firmware for your country and carrier. Based on that, download the modem. Make sure you get the latest modem. If you can't find the latest modem on the linked thread, there was another thread with all the latest modems, but I can't seem to find it anymore.

I'm on 5.02 CM12, I downloaded the latest modem for my GT-I9505 which matched the firmware code for a 4.4.2 S4 however still no luck ffs. This is really annoying, i don't know how my WiFi could jist shut off on me like that :/. Looks like I'm going to have to buy myself a new phone then. Can't use my mobile data for a couple months as my carrier has blocked me until I pay off my bill and now with my wifi disconnecting every 2 mins, I basically cannot use the internet. So frustrated.
I've flashed new nightlies, changed baseband versions, factory reset my phone and still no luck. What makes things worse is i cannot see any other threads with people in my postition so help is so minimal :/. Annoyed is an understatement.

Hi mate ,
Try flashing a new modem it never hurts but wifi is kernel control , see what kernel you had before when it was working good ,check if it was changed in the las upgrade... reflash old kernel again or try a different one

Go back to stock firmware if you haven't updated the bootloader.
If it works fine on stock, then re-root your phone and try again with CM12.

Check and see i if power save is on , if so switch it off
Dial *#0011#
This will take you into the Service Mode
Press the left bottom key new menu will show
Select Wifi... Once in the Wifi settings , turn it off...
Do you have to refresh the password? just in case check this
Go to /system
Open the built.prop
search for ro.securestorage.support
If it says true , change to false
Save and reboot
Also if you are skill check the antenna cable inside the phone..maybe is just loose

When I dial that code, the phone does nothing...does the fact that I cannot turn on my mobile data stop me from dialing this code? Also, does the fact that I'm on cm12 and not on touchwiz stop me from using this?
& I have no password on my phone and there was no ro.securestorage.support ... I found this "ro.wifi.channels=" if that helps?

Isn't power save automatically off in the settings? It gives you the option to use it in low battery

If you updated bootloader then you can't go back to kitkat roms. Only the 5.0 lollipop roms. But Samsung hasn't released the official update in all countries.
If it still doesn't work, even with official firmware, then it might be hardware related. Maybe even your wifi router.

Wifi issues are often kernel related. Not always...but often.
