Hi all,
I recently installed the newest build of Slimbean. I am having a few issues: I am unable to play any media... Music, videos (youtube). My phone app does not work. I cannot receive nor send any calls. And my phone produces no sounds at all.
I tried installing build 7 to see if it was an issue with the build I was using... didn't help.
Internet and wifi work without any problems.
Galaxy S4 i337m
Baseband: I337MUMUAMDL
Version: Slim-4.2.2.build.7-OFFICIAL
Build #: slim_jfltecan-userdebug 4.2.2 JDQ39E eng.blk_jack.20130706.15730 test-keys
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Update: Any ROM I install... Phone and sounds do not work.

I'd Odin back to stock and see if you still have the issue. If you do it's a hardware issue.

I did just that... But it's a bit of a story.
I had just fixed another problem I was having yesterday. Was getting stuck at the S4 splash screen right after powering on the phone. The problem was caused by TWRP 2.6 and formatting /data partition. Long story short, I installed CWM and used it to do a full wipe/format of partitions and then was able to install ROMs, restore backups without issue.
So today, since everything was working, I decided to flash a new custom ROM (which I installed) and the MG1 radio. Wasn't having any luck with the radio. Finally, I was able to flash a radio via mobile odin, but then I soft bricked my phone. Got stuck at the S4 splash screen (same issue I had yesterday, but this time, a different cause). So was troubleshooting it all day. Tried to go back to stock, no luck. Tried to restore the stock backup I had, no luck. Only thing I could do was install custom ROMs at this point to get into my phone (i.e. Slimbean, FoxHound, etc...). But, at this point, although I could boot into Android, I had no sound at all and couldn't play video. So after hours of trial and error, I installed CWM again (replacing TWRP 2.5.0.2), did a full wipe/format and tried to install a stock ROM. No luck. Still was hanging at the S4 splash screen. Then I tried to install this ROM again which I had luck with in the past; |ROM| |★VLUAMG1★| |CANADIAN||i337M||STOCK||ROOTED||July.26.13|. But his instructions said to install a wifi fix or fear soft bricking my phone. So I installed the wifi fix, but selected the wrong file (I know, stupid. Done a lot of stupid **** in the past couple days with this phone). Now, after the phone rebooted, I would see the S4 splash screen for a split second, and it would auto load into download (odin) mode. Couldn't get into recovery at all. So then I decided to flash one of the stock ROMs I tried earlier that didn't work, but this time, SUCCESS!!!!! Phone was booting and all sounds worked. I could make/receive phone calls as well... Everything seems to be working fine now. I find it funny that flashing a wifi fix that I shouldn't have seems to have fixed my issue in a sense. Since it allowed me to successfully flash a stock ROM. So I am making a backup of the stock ROM and will decide what I'm going to do from here.
Holy goalie!!! It's been a very vexing couple of days.
Nice that you got it all worked out, I've found out that if your "status" is custom, it will sometimes give you problems when flashing a "stock" rom via odin.
So what I always do when reverting back to the stock rom, I use triangle away to clear the flash count and make my phone back to "Official". If you want the steps to do this, let me know, it's not hard, but there are crucial steps to get this right!

Hello,
I made the switch from iPhone 5 to the new S4 just about a week ago.
So far, not happy. But thats besides the point.
Today i was removing some "bloatware" and then rebooted the phone, now it will not pass the splash screen.
I have spent the last few hours scouring the internet for a fix with no luck. I have tried to find the stock rom (i think?), cannot. I have done the hard boot and reset, and cache reset.. and anything else I can find.
It WONT pass the splash screen no matter what I do.
Any ideas?
You will have to flash stock ROM (your particular variant)* via Odin. If you plan on keeping your warranty, it's best if you make do with the bloatware; If not switch to a custom ROM.

You may have accidentally removed something important from the system (for example the csc config or simtoolkit etc etc )
What you can do is just flash an old rom that fits your variant and region and then upgrade via OTA
AlSo if you can't find your ROM you can flash a similar region ROM as long as it is for your type of hardware.
The best answer I have tho is to get a pre rooted and de odexed stock ROM and flash that.
These ROM typically have the junk removed.
Remember make sure it matches your hardware.

Did you try booting with charger in the phone..? Mine wouldn't boot without charger for some reason..
Hello,
It has been a while ago since I've been playing with Android. So I have to find my knowledge again, which is burried somewhere deep into my brain. Even the simplest problems are very hard to fix right now, I hope my knowledge will come back very soon, so I can help Members with their problems instead of asking for help by my own.
(I'm very sorry for my bad English. I'm currently on Oxycodone for my back pain, so everything is just a little harder to do including solving problems with my Galaxy S5)
So let's talk about the problem I'm currently experiencing. While I was trying to install CyanogenMod onto my Galaxy S5, I was constantly getting an error which told me I had to clear out my Data....But I accidently wiped everything! Including my System folder! So now I'm stuck with no OS.
I can still enter Recovery and Download-mode...But the problem is that my SDcard died a couple hours ago. So I can't put a ROM onto my SDcard to flash it with Recovery. Is there any way that I can flash a CyanogenMod ROM onto my S5 without the need of a SDcard? Cause downloading a Stock ROM is taking AGES and I just want to get CyanogenMod working on my Device.
(Again, I'm very sorry if my English is bad.)
Hopefuly someone can help me out, cause all those ROM's, Kernels etc are confusing me like hell.
Kindly Regards,
Asirekor
Not really, you'll need to find a working SDCard or flash stock
Hello,
I managed to Flash Stock ROM. But now I'm having the problem that my 3G isn't working at all. Does it have todo with frequencies or something that are coming with the ROM?
Hi to everyone,
I have some problems with my SM-N9005 I will explain everything from beginning what I did so you can have a clear picture. I had stock 4.4.2 rom when I bought my phone but I am a app freak so I had to do root actually my friend did it using odin because I am not so good with android knowledge. That was almost 2 years ago and with 4.4.2 I had no problems. Using camera, recording, wifi everything worked great. I have fastest class San Disk 64 GB memory card and I set camera video to save directly on it and it worked without any problems. This past month my phone started to be slow because of 2 years junk and using so I decided to put latest custom rom (I think 5.1.x something) but my friend was afraid if we dont put good rom that we will brick my phone so he told me to do a reset factory defaults and the phone will be unrooted and then go to software update option and update it to 5.0. I couldn't do that because it reported error phone changed or something like it was rooted but it was not. Lucky for me before root we did cwm backup of my phone so my friend restored backup and then we tried again software update again but still same error phone is changed (I was hundred precent sure that phone is unrooted but still no luck). Then we decided to install Kies and do firmware upgrade from options tab and it worked. It was 1.3 Gb update and kies showed that it is 5.0 and last firmware version for note 3. So I am using phone for few days now but I noticed few problems. Everytime I restart phone it forgets all wifi passwords and also when I come home I meen when I change ruter same story. Today I wanted to talk a picture and when I took a picture and go to gallery to see it (from camera up left corner see last image) phone restarted and when I wanted to record a video it said recording failed and then it restarts every time.Everything else is working great, phone is fast,maybe battery drains faster than on 4.4.2 but it is not a big problem for me. Sorry for my english if I have some mistakes. Can you help me please with these 2 issues?
??
Anyone please?
Did you try with a factory reset ?https://www.androidpit.com/factory-reset-note-3
You could possibly try flashing the stock android 5.0 with odin, that should be the best way of making sure everything is installed properly unless anyone thinks that would be a bad idea.

I tried factory reset and same story, ok I will try with odin I will go to see my friend in few days and then I will post results
So I solved it by:
Using Odin 3.11.1
I have already tried Factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, flashed the latest stock Lolipop or older lollipop with ODin and nothing solved the problem.
So I tried to flash the latest stock lolipop with Odin and marking checked (Auto Reboot , F. Reset Time , Phone EFS clear, Phone Bootloader update).
I suspect that the Phone EFS clear did the trick. It's function is related to the modem and radio of the phone. And clearly the modem has a problem here.
I hope this will help anybody out there having this issue.
This problem happened after trying to flash lollipop using FlashFire app to reserve the root that I had in my previos Android KK 4.4.2.
