[Q] Firmware update failed, Wi-Fi and sound doesn't work (GT-I9505)

Hello,
First I must say, that I'm not English native speaker, so sorry for any language mistakes.
I have a pretty serious problem with my Galaxy S4 LTE I9505. I downloaded the latest official ROM for my model (I9505XXUBMGA_I9505OXXBMG3_XEO) from SamMobile and I wanted to flash it via Odin 3.07 (previously I had CyanogenMod 10.2). But during the flashing process Odin give me "FAIL".
After that my phone was showing downloading screen with this information:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9505
CURRENT BINARY: Sansung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x1
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30
WRITE PROTECTION: Enable
SW. REV: CHECK FAIL: fused: 2, Binary: 1
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"

Click to collapse
Of course I was trying Emergency Recovery option in Kies, but it was failing all the time. I also was trying to flash it again, but Odin again shows me "FAIL" during the process. So I choose re-partition with PIT file and stock, branded ROM (I9505XXUAMDE_I9505PLSAMD8_I9505XXUAMDE_HOME). And it works, now I can boot my phone and original recovery without any problems, but unfortunatly I can't enable Wi-Fi module and any function that needs sounds just don't work (phone calling, system sounds, notifications etc.). Kies don't want to update my OS from stock, branded version to newest one (error while updating device). I also tried this on different PC, but it's always showing "FAIL" in Odin.
What should I do to get back to stock firmware? Right now I can only send text messanges and use internet via carrier data plan...

re flash your original updated firmware. let it boot up and then do a factory reset vol up-power and home. hope this helps

You can install the any stock rom that ends on H8
samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9505
You will not have root access anymore and are stucked with unremovable annoying system apps...
But thats the price to pay to have your phone back. I was phoneless for 3 days because of this. I'm happy to be still alive, but also wondering if live without root is worth it..

hi can you tell me how you did it. and is it all official?

On samobile, I took the UK kernel (ending on H8) and downloaded both the firmware and kernel. I used odin and flashed both (PDA). Then I did a factory reset and everything was up and running again

Strange issue after installing 4.3 MJ5

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

hi ibz31: as far as i know you won't be able to install 4.2.2 as your are on new bootloader.
did you try flashing official 4.3 with odin?
