ive been messing around with a few ROMs after being displeased with HellFire (for my LS980), and in none of the roms ive flashed (CM11, Mahdi, Paranoid Android) have i been able to use the phone app, upon calling someone the screen goes black and eventually drops the process saying its not responding. I have full 3g and wifi available, and can text and browse the web, just the phone process itself does not work.
Ive tried a few different kernels and modems/radios (currently using ZV8) and nothing can remedy this in any ROM i flash. Am i missing something here that anyone can think of?
anyone at all?
phones kind of useless without being able to call people...
have you tried to install stock rom?

Hey all, been poking around the forums and trying out various WM and Android ROMS and they all seem to work beautifully, kudos to the devs.
I seem to be running into a bit of a problem though.
My phone is an MP6900 (Vogue 100) from Bell. And while the roms work great, the second my phone goes into standby mode (when not attached to my comp) the phone resets.
I have tried four different roms, two android and two WM and the problem persists.
Also hard resets, battery removal etc etc to no avail.
I also tried to roll back the radio as that got updated when I went to my stock rom previously.
And to boot I can't seem to flash back to the stock ROM anymore, while I was able to even just yesterday. I get Error 262, for whatever reason.
I was wondering if anyone else has run into this issue and could point me in the right direction.
And I did a search on the forum (pre-registration) but couldn't find anything, sorry if this has been brought up before.
Again, great work on all of the ROMs! I had no idea phones had come this far. (Sad to say but true lol)

Sounds like a dying battery to me.
It worked fine in the original Windows though so that's why I am a bit baffled.
what happens if you put your device in bootloader and try to flash to stock? Error 262 is a connection error. basically happens whenever some event interrupts the flashing process (a dead battery will cause this). If you haven't yet, try to flash to stock via the method in this post (bootloader and then flash)
Tried that, didn't work. Just gets to 31% and pops 262 no matter how I try to do it.
The odd thing is though that I can flash any other ROM just fine.
Would reformatting the SD card work?
Figured it out. I used the 0.41 ROM to unlock the phone which was causing the issues. I reflashed with the 2.3.1 and everything works fine.

0.41 was reportedly having tons of issues, you should have started from there
Glad you got it working.
I apologise for posting this here but no-one's been able to help me with this in the ROM specific threads. I wonder if anyone else's had this problem?
My mobile data connection keeps on slipping into roaming on AOSP based ROMs (on stock it's perfectly fine). It connects normally half the time after a reboot (if it doesn't it starts at roaming), and after I turn wifi or airplane mode on and off it slips into roaming again. I have this problem with 90% of AOSP based ROMs (AOKP 4.3.1, the last stable CM 10.1.3 and CM11 port are in fact the only ones that don't have this problem). I have tried everything, and I mean everything, to get data to work normally. I've used different gapps, recoveries, earlier versions of ROMs, manually setting APNs, everything.
I refuse to believe my GT-I9505 is somehow special and ROMs don't work too well on it. Other people with GT-I9505s don't seem to have any problem with theirs.
I finally got superuser working by flashing Echoe Illusion, the full touch-wiz version with Android 4.3. At first it seemed like I had everything working but the next day when I left the house (no longer connected to home wifi) I quickly realized it was refusing to connect to mobile data. I also cannot send text messages, and likewise I can assume I can't get them either. I have tried flashing the nightly CM11 build and 3G connected although LTE did not. I wasn't in an area where I expected reliable LTE anyway so that's not even an issue at this point because I'd very much like to use this Echoe Illusion rom, or another Touch-wiz based one. I just can't go downloading a bunch of them because I have a severe restriction on data usage and have already downloaded Echoe Illusion AND multiple other things. If it matters, my baseband ends in MJA.
I have also attempted to flash different modems with Odin, although all of them failed completely to flash at all and at this point I have to honestly admit I don't know what I'm doing. This is most definitely not my first time rooting...I'm just used to HTC phones, the Evos in particular. Thanks in advance if anyone can help or provide useful tips!
oh and P.S. I can't go back to the stock firmware because I must have flashed an incorrect kernel, and it borked the phone. I only got it working again by flashing a separate rom (Echoe Illusion) and have since flashed other kernels with no ill effect. I had a nandroid backup of the stock rom before I borked it, but every time I try restoring it, it stops at the yellow Sprint screen and won't boot.
Hey guys,
I have a Galaxy S4 (i9500). I installed Omega ROM v22 on it and everything went smoothly, Wifi & BT working perfectly.
After a few hours of using the device (nothing special at all, texts and stuff like that) - I noticed my wifi isn't working and by not working I mean that I click the wi-fi button and it changes from gray to the mid-state between gray to green for around 20 seconds before it goes back to green ago.
If I open the menu to see my networks it just says "Enabling" without any networks there.
I had to drive somewhere so I went to my car and tried to enable Bluetooth, and same thing happens there - Bluetooth will not turn on and will stay stuck on mid-state between gray and green for a while and go back to green.
I flashed omega rom v22 again and the problem was gone, or so I thought. I went back to the car for another drive and realized the bluetooth issue is back - and when I got home I realized the wifi issue is back as well.
I figured I need to reset everything so I tried the following:
Full wipe (including dalvik and even including "internal SD card") and then flashing stock rom (from the official website, stock rom of my country).
The issue was back after a few hours. I do not have BT or Wifi access. Yesterday Wifi suddenly started working for a few hours but then it stopped working again.
I really need help! I have no idea what to do with this issue!
Well rule number one when you have problems after flashing without wipe.
1. perform a full wipe and see if the problem persists.

Tried that, no luck.
What else would you try?
In some places when people had problems with Wi-Fi they said to flash a different kernel but I don't see why I would have this specific issue with Omega Rom and why the default kernel with it wont work well?
Maybe this could be a root issue? My root works fine but I have this weird gut feeling like this is some permissions thing that's going on.
I'm trying to think why it would work right after the wipe but then stop working shortly after.
Another symptom: It randomly started working for a few minutes and then stopped again (around three hours ago).
Any idea what's going on?
Well, if you fully wiped and didn't restore any apps and settings then it can be two other things.
Or it's a bug in the rom or a hardware failure in your phone.
I would suggest trying a different rom first. Do not restore anything, not even your google account.
wi-fi fix?
Do you actually have an i9505? or is it a canadian or att version? if its the latter sometimes the devs offer some wifi-fixes, also try a different kernel. otherwise it could be that your radio/modem are not compatible with the version of the ROM you are flashing.
Tried arrow ROM and this issue doesn't seem to happen in this rom. Hope it stays like that...

Sadly, it did happen with this rom, after just a few hours.
I'm now using stock rom and still suffering from the issue.
Does anyone have ANY idea what I can do to fix this?
Thanks in advance!
Hello all,
So I've read the threads about the issues with no wifi/sound when people have rooted. I've spent the last 2 days flashing and re-flashing attempting to get these to fix themselves.
I have reflashed, what I believe, is the stock version of 4.2.2 to my sg4 sgh-i337m. After reflashing I noticed I never had wifi. So I reflashed a few times, as others had suggested, but still nothing. I then tried the cm 11 through the windows installer, then I was without sound or wifi. Now when I flash back to stock (maybe I'm not using the original rom?) I don't have sound, or wifi. I tied both CM12.1 optimized and Pacman, and for some reason they get wifi, but still no sound.
Could this be a modem issue?? It's making me crazy. I've reflashed and reflashed my phone with 2 seperate stock roms thinking perhaps I was using the wrong one, but nope. Tried the wipe caches before/after and still nothing.
I have the sg4 sgh-i337m, bought it in Nov 2013. Does anyone know what kernal/broadband we originally use? I lost mine before I had a chance to write it down (kicking myself in the face ever since).
If anyone knows how to fix this - I've tried all the usual fixes (sound about, pulled battery numerous times, multiple reflashes).
Thanks.
http://www.sammobile.com/ has all of our firmware for our phone just make an account and search firmware for your model number and flash threw odin.
i havent heard anything about sound issues i have heard about some wifi. i have the same phone as u and have flashed alost all the roms for it with out issue. maybe its a hardware failure i sure hope not for your case but it might be another problem to look for.
