S4 dead - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So my s4 which was running multirom with touchwiz and cm rom suddenly switched off and went into a bootloop. I tried reflashing. Nothing happened. So I flashed original firmware through odin with and without the pit file. Both times it went into a bootloop I.e stuck at samsung logo. I took it to the Samsung showroom. They said there was no warranty. One of my friends said that the motherboard could have been fried.
Your thoughts? Any hope to revive this phone? Or do I have a 40k worth paperweight? (Actually it's too light for that also)

Sorry for the late reply. I never thought anyone would. Anyway I've tried all that. Could it be a motherboard failure?

Stuck on downloading screen.

First off I have searched, and came up with nothing. I am on MF3, and did a factory reset and now my S4 is stuck on downloading screen. Anyone know a way to fix this. Any help is appreciated.
Are you rooted? When download mode comes up have you cancelled, vol down?
No lost my root on firmware update.. it doesnt give that option. It just says
could not do normal boot.

Can you get to stock recovery and do a factory reset? If you really screwed up your EFS folder, and you don't have a backup of it, you won't be able to make calls ever again, and you IMEI number is gone. You'll have a 5.7 inch media player.
In such cases, a Samsung Service Center trip might be your only option.

Download this put in AP/PDA in odin then flash.
Just to note to people replying in this thread, this guy already has a thread open about this and has tried all the script fix tricks.

Restored stock yesterday, suddenly speaker not working.

Earphones work fine, but nothing will make a sound when there are no earphones plugged in. Not even vibrations (apart from the USB connect/disconnect ones). Calling, video's, music, YouTube, nothing.
I have a D802 which is now just stock I guess, I screwed up something and had to play around in the Download Mode to get back to stock losing Root and such.
Anyone have any idea? I have no problem flashing another ROM but if that doesn't fix the problem I'd rather not waste time and risk what happened yesterday again :/.
Really appreciate any help or advice you guys are capable of giving, I'm just worried that it's related to the stock firmware I restored to last night, could that be possible?

I will, I'm planning on flashing CloudyFlex in a few minutes, you mean the wipe in recovery, right?
Nope, settings>general >backup and reset >factory reset. This will wipe everything from the phone, so make necessary backups

I did exactly what you said and got no results.
I then went into recovery, wiped, installed a custom ROM, still the same.. no sound.
What do I do :S
If speakers are not working on stock rom, then I guess u should visit customer care

Try reflashing the stock rom!
Try flashing the stock rom again, you probably have bad system files.(Just an educated guess).
If that fails, then you should send it to the service center, hope i could help. Thank me if that helps xD
I am using the offical rom only. How can i reflash the rom ? Plz tell
