S4 i9505 Sound and Lag problems

Hello,
I am new to android and have only had my s4 for about 3 weeks.
I rooted my phone with cf auto root and tried out different roms for the past 2 weeks, i mainly used Omega & echoe rom and i was using Omega at the time i experienced problems, basically my phone freezes when i call people and the screen goes black, the phone lags for a good 5-10 seconds when im unlocking the phone with a swipe & no sound comes out my s4 at all. I have tried to wipe the phone and format everything including my data & i installed Foxhound 3.1 and the problems still exist? if anyone can help me i would really appreciate it.
P.S I heard flashing the stock 4.3 rom might do the trick but i cant download from hotfile for some reason so if anyone has a torrent please link me it! thanks in advance!!

Hi, i have the same problem, so sound at all, and also no signal!
I have baseband MJ5 and Built number MJ9 (using omega v15 now)
I've tried the wifi fix you posted but no luck
Here is a more detailed description of my problem!
I have no sound at all coming from the device, I've read most threads that say no sound on the heading for I9505 and for many people flashing I9505XXUDMH8_I9505OXXDMHA_I9505XXUDMH8_HOME.tar resolved the problem but not in my case.
Last night I tried flashing I9505XXUEMI8_I9505OXAEMI8_I9505XXUEMI8 and after I changed the kernel I got some sound when turning the volume up and down but the phone was running very slow.
Today I tried flashing Omega rom v15 flashing the right modem for the new bootloader before flashing the zip and no sound, I tried changing the kernel, still nothing.
So now I'm in build number XXUEMJ9 and baseband MJ5.
I've also tried flashing stock with a pit file but didn't make a difference!

[Q] Galaxy S4 i9505, 4.4 KitKat (wanamlite). Sound gone, Dialer hang etc.

Hi everyone!
This problem showed up after I flashed WanamLite 4.4.2 XXUFNA5 rom. I don't have sound nor wifi and the dialer is always hanging so no calls. I came from Wanamlite 4.2.2 XXUBMGA rom, which worked great before this kitkat upgrade. I've tried different modems, i've tried different roms (4.4.2) and it's always the same, except wifi was working on one rom, but no sound or calls.
I tried to flash the WanamLite 4.2.2 rom back, but there was no sound either and the dialer was hanging on this rom too. I've also tried to flash the stock rom with odin (4.2.2 XXUBMGA) and it always fails to aboot.mbn, and the phone says SW REV. CHECK FAIL: FUSED: 4, BINARY: 1. I've read about that once you go Kitkat, there's no going back because of the bootloader... ok I would accept that, if I would get everything working as intended. This is my first Android phone so i'm quite new with this, but i've "played" with computers since i was 9.
I will appreciate your help.

bro first of all relax and download any custom rom and flash it via recovery say cynogenmod etc..then let it start and check whether you can connect to network if its fine then your hardware is perfectly safe and goahead with flashing the stock rom you downloaded (consider redownloading it to be sure) and flash it and you would be fine

because installing a custom rom by fully formatting phone will delete any corrupted files that are causing the error and when you will flash the official rom it will intsall as a new clean rom and will work without any problem

Resolution attempts:

Try to install a custom rom, since data isn't a problem for you and since you already rooted it as I can see from the above. If you will succeed I think your sister would love more a custom rom to crapwiz

Did you test other sim in the phone?(can be a sim problem)
Did it this from the begining or it worked before?
The phone can be network locked and you need by a unlock code!?
You are the first owner or the phone is second hand?
A custom rom can be a fix but you should try to flash via ODIN a stock rom from other country for your phone tipe(j5ooFN)

Thanks for your replies
Answering you, I tried 3 different SIM cards from different carriers but same problem.
This is a phone bought new directly from my sister.
This problem appears suddenly when it was 5.1.1.
During my tests official 6.0.1 OTA update become but the problem remained.
I will try to install official ROM from other country
I will try to install a custom ROM... Do you recommend using a custom TW ROM or an AOSP ROM?

Try Lineage OS 13 by Koloses it's the most stable custom rom by now, but to install that you need to be on lollipop firmware 5.1.1 and to have the latest twrp 3.0.2 by nick verse, make all wipes except sdcard and usb-otg then flash rom and gapps and reboot

I downloaded all necessary files for these 2 attemps:
1. Official ROM for other countries, e.g. ITV and XEO (my current ROM are HUI)
2. Back to 5.1.1 then TWRP + Lineage OS 13 + Gapps
I will try!

After first boot I suggest you also to flash the add ons like kernel update, screen mirroring fix but first see if your phone works again

Ok thanks!
I just download also these files!

Maybe because you have to use H3G firmware only to get it to work but I don't know man

In all my previous attempts I have always used H3G firmware (HUI)
Now I was on 5.1.1 and as suggested I tried Lineage 13.
To have another time stock 6.0.1 TW I've only to wipe and flash with odin? I can try other country ROM...
If I give up and return the phone to my sister, at least the interface is the same as before my intervention and she does not panic
However, I thank you for your help!

What an irritating situation! Wish you make it mate

I am having the same issue with a galaxy j5 sm-j500g. Cannot turn on the radio. I think the issue was to flash the TWRP, because before that, the phone was working fine. I did exactly the same as you, did a software update and a downgrade, but it did not work. The only way that worked for me was doing this, (in this order):
1. Flash the latest firmware.
2. Flash the TWRP and root the phone.
3. Do a factory reset and clear the cache.
4. Flash an early version of the software (1st version of the 6.1 firmware)
It took like 30 minutes to boot the firts time, but my phone got signal. I was really happy but after 12 hours I got the same issue.. the same message: "no network connection".
I will try other ways and see if they work.

Hi and thank you for reporting your experience!
I Tried to flash 5.1.1, 6.0.1 several times but for me signal never start to work.
My sister told me that the first time he gave the problem, for a while it has come back to work and then it does not work anymore.
In my many network searches, I saw a Russian youtube video that shows how to heat up a little chip (2mm x 2mm) and re-sold it to reset the radio signal

did u fix it?? i have same prb

Hi, only solution for this problem, for me, was changing phone.... Changing only antenna chip doesn't solve problem...

Same problem here Bro. I flashed 5.1 and 6.0 tryed combination file, root, no signal at all, when try emergency call say " Trying turn radio on" Same situation, same problem and same sitiation: No solution!

Need help with a galaxy s4 gt-i9505

Hi everyone,
just a long-time forum-lurker in the dark here, now I'm here asking for help to restore my galaxy s4.
Here's the story:
gt-i9505 no brand, italian official firmware 4.4.4 (kitkat), never updated, only used towelroot to gain rood adn unistall couple of unused apps.
everything worked fine
Then i decided to upgrade to lollipop.
downloaded last samsung lollipop rom for my phone from sammobile, made a full backup via TWRP Recovery, and installed lollipop via Odin.
Then the nightmare begun :
1st problem, no modem, no connection, only wifi, i restored EFS, still not working, reinstalled modem via odin and then i got my imei and connection again.
2) think i've tried to change the rom to a custom downloaded here (i don't even remember the name), then i tried couple other roms.
this as far as i remember
Now the phone has a samsung original lollipop rom, wifi won't turn on, data not working, knox status is obviously altered (so i cannot restore it via kies or whatever the software name is now) BUT It overheats a lot after few minutes and i'm forced to shut it off to not damage it.
I'd like to restore it to a full working condition, i think i've messed up with bootloaders, modems and roms from different android versions.
can anyone help ?
Current status is
model : gt-i9505

Hey, @dokrobei
Take a look on my Guide.
You need the guide clean install from the scratch. Please read it carefully till the end. There avaible links with all necessary stuff like modem/bootloaders/stock rom-firmware/recommend customs roms etc.

Hi @Retrial, thanks for the answer..
I've managed to reinstall stock KitKat 4.4.2 and working modem drivers, following another tutorial here. Now Wi-Fi, 3g and bt works fine, BUT the phone overheats a lot. It's not a battery problem and sure it's software related 'cause it wasn't like this before my stupid first attempt to upgrade to lollipop.
I've searched the forum for the overtheating near the flash zone problem, some say that is a microsd problem (wich I removed), some other that's a battery problem (wich is not in my case).
Do you think I should start from scratch again following your guide? IHow do I know wich modem / bootloader is right for my phone? I think the problem is there, maybe wrong modem version..

First of all there is no need to still be on KitKat...a lot of apps don't support Kitkat nowdays...and is outdated.
I will recommend first to proper upgrade to Lollipop stock and then use some of the latest android Pie Custom JDC Roms by following my complete guide. As I said above there is a full guide with links and very well explained steps. The latest Firmware for our S4 i9505 is QK1 - No matter which country you will choose, and it's recommened to have the latest. Just read it carefully till the end and check the asterisks.
The overheating it may be no compatible Modem/Bootloader since you messed up with Lollipop. To check what Modem and Bootloder you can simply install "Device HW Info" or "Phone Info" app and check.
Let me know how it goes, and if you have any question or problem feel free to ask. Good Luck :fingers-crossed:

After every flash the device become hot. Let the rom settle for a while.
If you have PK2 Firmware then you need PK2 Modem and Bootloader. So no, don't try other modem/bootloader.

I flashed it last night and checked if it was working this morning. I'm sure the high temps are not related to the usage or to the battery. It become hot eachtime i turn on wifi. Havent tried with data but I think it will be the same thing.
