[Q] SGH-I337M No Sound Or Wifi

**EDIT**
This issue was solved for myself and another member here by tracking down the appropriate latest stock firmware for our regions and flashing it with Odin. Note that it took multiple flashes of the same firmware in Odin before it was actually fixed.
**Original Post**
Hi All,
I have a SGH-I337M from Rogers (Canada) and I'm having a hell of a time getting my phone working again. Here's the complete history. I originally took it from stock 4.2.2 to 4.4 Gummy ROM. Everything was working fine with that. I then found out about the easy sim unlock with the stock touchwiz ROM, so I plugged it into Kies to restore it to factory. However, I didn't realize (about a week ago) that they were rolling out the 4.3 update, so lo and behold I wound up with 4.3.
The unlock method was not working on this, so I got hold of the 4.2.2 official ROM and flashed it with Odin. It was at this time that I realized the 4.3 update included the knox bootloader (I think that's the bootloader? I'm still pretty green with this stuff), so of course I wind up with persisting flags showing warranty void, kernel is not seapermissive or whatever the error is, etc etc. ALSO, it was at the time of the 4.3 update that I realized wifi and sound do not work anymore. I flashed back to the Gummy rom, wifi starts working again but not sound.
PHEW, if you made it through that, thanks for your time! Anyway I'm now back at 4.2.2 because I figured I'd try the unlocking at least and... it doesn't work. I read from others that the wifi and sound not working had to do with the modem firmware not matching what the kernel expects, so I took my wifes phone (which is still running 4.2.2 and the unlock worked, also a SGH-I337M), ran the following:
Code:
su
cd mnt/sdcard/
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 of=backup-NON-HLOS.bin
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 of=backup-modem.bin
Copied those dumps, wrote them to my busted phone with:
Code:
su
dd if=NON-HLOS.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1
dd if=modem.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2
reboot
And.... all that to no avail. I'm literally just fumbling through this now because this stuff is going beyond the scope of what I know. Anyone who can help or point me in the right direction would be most appreciated! Thanks for your time!

Fixed
Alright so, as I mentioned the official rogers 4.3 update over Kies is what I believe caused these problems in the first place. What I did however was get hold of the latest official build from this link (RWC-I337MVLUEMK6-20131125124040) and flash it in Odin. Oddly enough after the flash, all is working. Perhaps there is a broken version being pushed out over Kies.

Buddy! You're having the exact same problems I had. Can you tell me what carrier you are with and post your exact model here (like mine is SGH-i337M). The solution for me was to end up flashing (for the 4th or 5th time) the original stock touchwiz from branded by my carrier. The kernel warnings and such all went away, all sound and wifi works again (see my above posts). You might also be able to just flash the modem file for your phone, the CM version. Anyway post that stuff (exact model, carrier etc) and I'll see if I can help!

Here ya go buddy, found it on terafile. Click this link here. ProTip! Use Bitcomet to do the HTTP download (copy the link once it starts downloading) and set the max connections to 20. This way you'll bypass the download throttle and download at full speed. Follow up and let me know if it works out for you!
In case you don't know, extract the zip, open Odin, click "PDA" and select the .md5 file you extracted. Put your phone into download mode by powering off and then powering on while holding the volume down rocker. It'll ask you to press volume up to confirm. Plug the phone in now and Odin will recognize the phone is ready for flashing (will say added! in the text field). Go ahead and click start. Note that this is a very big file so after you select it in Odin it will freeze for a while while it calculates the MD5 sum.

You can't flash it through recovery you have to use Odin and yes 3.09 should work fine. Make sure you extract the zip first and select the .md5 file that gets extracted from the zip. ALSO note that this will replace your custom recovery. I have not yet attempted to replace the stock recovery after flashing and fixing my phone, so I cannot tell you if it will work or not. At this point I'm just happy to have my phone working again so I'm not tampering and leaving it at stock. Also note that once you flash 4.3 the boot loader will be replaced so that if you tamper with the phone (flash anything new etc) it will permanently set a flag that you cannot change which indicates that your warranty is now void.

Stock Kernel Fix It but ....
Hello Furinax, i download and flash the original ROM with Odin v3.09, the stock Kernel fix it, but the Wifi and the sound still tethering, don´t work both of them, do you recommend flashing again? Or what can i do? Thanks and we keep in contact.

Yay! Glad to hear it. Just gotta watch and read lots before flashing custom roms. Some phones are a pain in the rear, some are fine. Usually stick to flagship phones for this. For example the Nexus series from Google, never had an issue flashing any of those phones. Anyway buddy I'm glad to hear it's all working, merry Christmas and happy new year to you too and God bless you as well. Take care!

I am going through this right now as we speak. I bought a S4 I337M tonight locked to Telus and am trying to unlock it for bell.....it was on 4.3 so yeah I tripped the knox bootloader which is ok because I do not have warranty on the phone BUT I installed 4.2.2 and tried the unlocking and of course it does not seem possible on the Telus i337m .....I followed all suggestions to a T so we must have to pay for codes....
Anyways I lost wifi and sound so i used odin to push back telus factory firmware mk6 and still have no wifi and sound ? Any ideas?
I am currently using odin and pushing it once again , fingers crossed
Any tips on both the unlocking and regaining sound and wifi ? thanks

Hey. So a couple of things. First, if you did the unlock process with the 4.2.2 rom, you unfortunately have to re flash the 4.2.2 rom and this time in the menu turn sim lock back on. Then, you can proceed to flash 4.3.3 and buy an unlock code. The reason you have to re flash and explicitly re - enable sim lock using the 4.2.2 menu is that once it fails, if you don't do that then even your purchased unlock code won't work!
So make sure you do that. I believe it's #*0101 then hit menu key, select back. Hit menu again, select number input, enter 1. Get the ddms main menu or whatever it's called where you can see network lock options and then select on instead of off. There is actually a video on YouTube of this exact issue and fix, I've just been moving for 4 days and am beat so if you get really stuck here I can find it tomorrow.
Once you do that re flash 4.3.3 with Odin but before you do, enter recover mode and wipe/factory reset/cache everything and of course ensure you are backed up first.
It has been my experience and others experience that you may need to re flash 4.3.3 multiple times before the wifi and other issues will be fixed. Don't panic, it'll work. Once you've got that all sorted, I bought my unlock codes (did this painful process on three sgh-1337m's) from cellunlocker.net and all went perfect. Let me know if you have any more questions!

Thanks! took 3 times to get back wifi and sound.....so odd.
I am now flashing 4.2 again and i will change the settings you mentioned back to locked than clear cache/factory wipe before going back to 4.3 and ordering my unlock code online....I dont understand why it works for some and not [email protected]!!!

Glad you got sound/wifi back! As far as why it sometimes works, phone had to be shipped with 4.2.2. Once they get upgraded to 4.3, the functionality is gone for reasons I'm not 100% on so I won't shoot my mouth off like I'm an expert. Lol enjoy your unlocked phone once you get it all sorted!

After the second flashing works, be patient

Yeah try to use the Verizon Repair assistant on your pc. Another one to try is Kies 3 which you can download to your pc and run.
Pull the battery and then put in back in and hold down power+home+volume down. Once in custom screen press volume up.
If you can do this your okay.
You can use Verizon Repair assistant, Kies 3 or the latest version of Odin and download the tar file for the version you were on.

You stuff was awesome, however, it is not that the programs do not work, it is the fact that my pc, under no circumstances will recognize my phone when plugged into these programs, or even recognize it as a device after the drivers are in. The note literally has to be up and running for it to be recognized.
Thanks

From the looks of your photo your warranty is still good. You are stuck in download (odin) mode. The Knox warranty void line shows 0x0 witch is still good. When the line says 0x1 your warranty is toast. I have the identical screen when I enter download mode and my phone is bone stock. I haven't tried root yet because Verizon has allowed disabling and stopping most of the bloat apps. Also I do not want to trip Knox. Have you tried holding down the power button until it reboots? As for the note having to be fully powered up to be recognized is not so. When you enter download mode is when you connect your usb. I would try a different usb port or a standard usb 2.0 Motorola cable if you have one. Either way your warranty is not toast.

Your advice is truly appreciated, but i think my computer hates my note. I have tried every port, all the drivers are on the machine, and I still do not get recognized. When the phone was working, it had no problem getting recognized, now, all of a sudden....poof

Yea same screen most of us have or had. You need to install ODIN connect to PC and run ODIN it should tell you if it reads it when "ID:COM" shows "0:[COM4]" or any other number. If it does show "0:[COM4]" you are good flash a stock image of the version you were on before attempting root (MI9, MJ7, or MJE).

Yea same screen most of us have or had. You need to install ODIN connect to PC and run ODIN it should tell you if it reads it when "ID:COM" shows "0:[COM4]" or any other number. If it does show "0:[COM4]" you are good flash a stock image of the version you were on before attempting root (MI9, MJ7, or MJE).

Below are the screens I get, I tried flashing the delavega root before, and of course got the error shown. I am now downloading the stock tar file, mje, and try to flash it with odin when done downloading.
Is odin showing the com box the correct way, or should it be another color and say something else?
Thanks.

How about entering recovery mode (home+vol up+ power on) and clearing cache and or factory reset. Clearing cache worked on my old S3 with a similar issue.

Success :good:
I am very happy that I was able to flash the factory version back to the note. You have all helped me very much, I truly appreciate it, and I hope to contribute to the site as well.
My best.

Awesome, I'm glad you worked it out...Merry Christmas

Cannot activate phone with Cyanogenmod 11

I have a sprint galaxy s4 running cyanogenmod 11. I just bought the phone from someone. I went and got a new SIM for the device and tried to activate online. Did not work. I opened chat window with sprint and they put in the device's numbers and sim card number and asked me to make a test call, which did not work. They then asked me to type in ##72786#. They said it would auto reboot the device. It did nothing. They then started asking questions about if this was a used device. Obviously I don't want to have to go to the sprint store, I'm sure they would tell me they cannot activate a modded device.
Can anyone tell me how to activate?
edit: also had me enter ##659143# and said it should bring up a menu screen. It did nothing

Pretty sure those codes won't do anything unless you're on a TW based rom. I would flash the stock rom, then call and try to activate.
(And please remember questions go in the Q&A section)

As said above you'll need a touchwiz rom to get activated. I had the same problem when I got my phone.

Thanks. I really like this rom and how its performing... can you please point me to a tutorial on how to bring back to stock, then to reinstall the same rom after activation? Person I got it from said the files are on the sd card

Download a touchwiz rom to your SD card. Boot into recovery and make a backup of your current setup. Then flash the touhwiz ROM. Activate your phone then boot back into recovery and restore your CM11 ROM.

Where do I get touchwiz? Cannot find it on google or xda.

You really need to learn ALOT before you start using a rooted phone. And flashing.

Touch wiz refers to any Samsung bloated ROM. There are numerous ones in the development section.

What's done is done, I have a rooted phone. At this point I need to get through this. All help is appreciated.
I used a youtube tutorial, downloaded touchwiz and odin. Tried to install but it hung up in the middle and failed install. Now won't install through odin and I get the error 'firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again".
Installed Kies, went to tools>firmware upgrade initialization... but it keeps saying incorrect serial.
Any ideas?

Boot into Download Mode, post what the text is in the upper-left-hand corner. (after saying "yes" to the warning.) As long as you don't do anything with Odin nothing will download.
There's nothing in that text that has any personally identifiable information.

First of all, what baseband version are you on? Mdc, mdl, mf9,mk2, mja? That is important to know. If on say mf9, then flash with odin a stock mf9, therevare plenty of videos on youtube as to how to use odin. As for the kies error page or wathever justbpull the battery and go into download mode again and start over again. If it only goes half way and stops try a different usb port and make sure you are using the factory original usb cable, I had that same problem you describe of the kies error and itvwas the usb port. Give it a try, just take your time and don't loose your patience. Odin is pretty safe but at the same time you do not want to mess up. Triple check your settings and make surebyou have the right files. Good luck sorry about the typos.

Link to all roms, just scroll down to the stock touchwiz roms and choose the one you need.

I also have the same issue with my secondary phone line that is an S4. I wasn't quite sure what the heck the issue was with my device since it was working perfectly fine in one month and then all of a sudden I can no longer dial out anymore! I was puzzled as all hell and was wondering whats going on? So i had thought instantly that its either needing a PRL Update or it has to upgrade the radio and at the time i had just literally updated the radio from MF9 i believe. everything worked BUT the phone line kept saying that wonderful "we are sorry but your account could NOT be validated" line and again and again didnt realize that untill reading this post that i didnt remember to upgrade to the latest firmware update. So your saying that is the issue? Doesn't a PRL update help some of those issues with connectivity as well right? that way if you wanted to downgrade your firmware in your radio you could still do so and just update your PRL correct me if i am wrong but i haven't messed with the issue in about 4-5 months so im a lil dusty and need some clarification. I also CANT find an option to Update the PRL in CM 11 at all and sprint had told me that was what i needed to do and i couldnt find that anywhere when i changed my number i basically got data connectivity ONLY... has the Update PRL option in CM11 become obsolete or removed? does just a radio firmware update solve all the connectivity issues? or i should say just most not all... Thank you too by the way I have been stumped and just needed another head to miss what was so an obvious issue if this works out to be the problem that has agitated me time and time again!

N910G won't boot into Android [Help!]

I am using the Note 4 N910G variant. I have rooted using CF Autoroot(5.0.1) and flashed CWM Recovery. I have also tried TWRP.
For some reason, I can't boot into Emotion Revolution ROM and most of the other ROMs would give me errors such as can't open file during installation.
I am seeing messages such as Recovery is not Seandroid enforcing and set warranty bit: kernel.
I have rooted and flashed ROMs before without a hitch many times. This is the first time I am coming across such problems. Forgive me for my ignorance I'll try my best to provide any extra information that is required to fix this issue.
Help would be greatly appreciated

Erm..anyone? I desperately need help fixing this!

Hi mate!
Can you please explain what have you done just before the problem started and what is happening now when you turn on the phone?
Can you boot into recovery?

Thanks for the response by the way. Much appreciated I used CF AutoRoot and rooted my phone with Odin V3.07. Pretty much followed the steps here
http://galaxynote4root.com/galaxy-note-4-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-4/
My phone worked just fine after the root. I went on to flash a custom recovery. (TWRP) and it went without a hitch. After which, I wiped my phone and flashed a custom ROM (Without backing up which was foolish, I know..)
http://www.emo-troid.com/tw-rom-downloads.html
Now, everytime I try to boot my phone, I would just get stuck in a bootloop. I can boot into recovery and download mode just fine for now.

Did you flash (via odin) the right modem and bootloader for the rom that you want to use?
---------- Post added at 03:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:23 PM ----------
Download and extract this: N910GDTU1BOF1_Bootloader_Modem.tar.zip than flash the .tar.md5 file via odin.

Oh it does, it shows me the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Powered by Android text along with that tiny yellow text in the top left. It would constantly reboot into that screen, doesn't go beyond that.

Did you wipe data/cache/dalvik/system before flashing the ROM?
If not, please try it. If yes and still bootloop try to download and flash a different ROM like this one.
Let us know.

Edit: I have resolved the matter with the ABD push., had to simply replug my phone.
My phone booted up but is still in the Samsung animation. It got pass the Powered by Android galaxy Note 4 screen at least.

MY PHONE ****ING BOOTED INTO ANDROID. Thank you so much dude You have helped a stranger across the planet save 800 dollars, you're amazing

Enjoy your "reborn" phone!

SM-G925F Flashing and bootloader issue

Hey guys,
I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
Tried flashing the G925F with the latest firmware, but the phone is stuff on the boot logo and wont move past it.
I can ONLY access download mode, recovery mode is unavailable. I've looked for a bootloader but theres so many versions all over the place and I dont want to pick the wrong one.
G925FXXU6ERF5 is the phone with the following details:
UK XEU CSC running Android 7.0 (well supposed to be lol)
The amount of threads I've gone through end up with the end of having users PM'ing each other for the answer or 'search for the answer'
So any help would be grateful.

OK, got some progress. After reading a similar issue I followed a guide on installing TWRP recovery and was finally able to boot into some kind of recovery mode. Now I'm just stuck with what to do hahaha. Its just strange that when I flash with Odin with the official firmware in the AP, I cant access the recovery mode, but flashing with TWRP the their recovery mode works perfectly.

Update, after a lot of searching on youtube and forums etc, was able to find out the data section was read as 0MB so wiped the storage via change the format of the storage then changing it back. This was able to make the data storage read correctly.
Installed the correct firmware which I had tried before, but this time the phone went through the update and was able to go through a full set up.
Just typing out this info for anyone else having the same issues.

After I got it working it did a bunch of updates but then stopped working.. back with the boot loop and failing to get to normal recovery. Only twrp works perfectly. If yours works only with usb attached I'd say it could be the battery or something linked to the battery.
