Hi all,
I have this annoying issue with [AOSP] Official 4.4.2 - S4 Google Edition - Final-R4 from jamal2367; current baseband installed XXUFNA1.
Problem:
When the phone loses connection, it dies. Then there is no way I can turn it on.
if unplugged from the power: it starts to boot and it dies again, sometimes at the "samsung boot text", sometimes a bit ahead, but it does not go further than the animated logo with 4 coloured bouncing balls (it does not matter how many time I try to restart the phone)
If plugged: it survives the first part of the boot most of the time, but it loops into the animated logo with the 4 coloured bouncing balls and the phone does not start.
Solution:
Every time I have to re-install Android, by:
- deleting Dalvik, Data, System, Cache.
- Install the ROM
- Apply a factory reset
At this point, if connected to the plug, the phone starts, but I have to go through the manual installation process.
This is a bit annoying I have to admin, anyone with this kind of issue, or am I the only one?
A few more info:
Phone was working great with jamal2367 4.3 (don't remember the baseband)
After 4.4 was out I installed it, but it was booting every 5 minutes or so, I decided then to go back to 4.3.
When I went back to 4.3, baseband was changed, but I kept the hold one.
Phone started to have random reboots as well, but once every 3-4 days, so I was ok with it.
4.4 releases were progressing so, after a while I decided to put it back.
I had the problem described above with previous (recent) baseband (like ml6and mj6).
Now I have the latest, but I have got the problem anyway.
A wild guess:
The phone now charges very quickly, I am wondering if the percentage that I see is realistic. Maybe it runs out of battery, which it could explain why the phone dies on reboots, but it does not explain why it loops once plugged in and why it does not turn off normally instead of just dying with a blink of an eye.
mmm that should not be the reason
Another wild guess:
I couldn't target a specific application. Sometimes it dies using fb, sometimes maps, sometimes hangout, sometimes a after a long phone call. The first two have "location" active, but I don't think that the last two are using it.
mmm that should not be the reason either.
A consideration:
I have noticed that once Android is installed, the phone signal is quite good, but then it goes down to one or two lines only. Most of the time I have one line only (in my area) and when it disappear, 6 times out of 7 it dies.
Thanks in advance.

PS=I could not post this into "Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development"
too long
be sure to flash from zero, wipe everything then flash 4.3
if everything fils go to stock 4.3 or 4.4 TW, then flash 4.4 gpe after

did you try battery calibration?
also format everything in recovery before flashing,that should do the trick..
or maybe try another rom,if you still have issues then you may have to take it to Samsung care

Well, when I delete Dalvik, Data, System and Cache, I do it once I am inside _teamwin recovery_, I can also think about another ROM, but the one from jamal2367 is quite popular and I find it weird that no one else have the same issue.
Thanks for your reply though.

Same problem here...
I fixed it by flashing the stock image from samsung, and start all over again with cf_root and recovery. I use CWM, but that dont matter I think.
Loving my 4.4.2 Rom by Danvdh atm!
Good luck!

Hi opticus44,
Did you install the stock image through Kies or from any other link? In this latest case, which one?
Thanks,

mmm there must be some way. With the latest R1.1 I cannot even answer a phone call, with Ktoonsez's Kernel, with Alucard's Kernel no button works.
:-O
mmm also installing 4.3 back gives me random reboots. I am wondering if it could a wrong baseband.
it worked perfect for me for some hours. when i deactivated some bloatwares (g. earth, g. music, ...) it crashed and stucks in a loop reboot & crash at googke logo. swipe cache or wait some minutes don`t change anything.
i tried everything, now i have no idea what to do
I installed CyanogenMod and it is more stable. However it cannot do what is supposed to do, make and receives phone calls.
I wonder if it is a baseband issue, now.

What tool do you use for a battery calibration?

Same issue if I put back Jamal [AOSP] Official 4.4.2 - S4 Google Edition - Final-R1.1,mmm, maybe the kernel....
The last thing I can say about it is that also all the sounds are gone. I cannot reproduce any sounds, notifications, alarm etc., it does not work on videos either.
I fix my problem! And I shared the solution here:

Hi guys same problem here,
GOOGLE EDITION 4.4.2 installed by Danvdh, Kryten2k35 & Ktoonsez on Galaxy S4 GT-9505 LTE with knox 0x1, and TWRP custom recovery when the battery reaches 0% turns off the phone I put the phone on charge and starts but hangs on colored dots.
How can I fix this?
Thx
So this just started yesterday but whenever I plug in a usb to my phone weather it'd be for charging or PC it starts playing this stock sounding ringtone that I've never heard before and it doesn't stop! The only way to stop is to unplug and reboot (rebooting while plugged in doesn't do anything). Why is this happening? It just started yesterday out of the blue and I'm forced to keep my phone on mute. How do I solve this? I'm pretty sure I haven't downloaded anything or tinkered with it at all so there shouldn't be anything that changed since say 3 days ago. So what in the world is doing this!? Also I am on GOLDENEYE ROM and I feel like it's giving me lots of issues as of late so if anyone could recommend a better TW-based rom (cuz of stupid gear) for my Canadian S4 (I337m) that'd be greatly appreciated as well so I can just ditch this broken ROM and get a brand new set up going

Soory but i think you have to perform a Full Wipe. Install new Rom and test it.
Same thing happened to me. I have s rooted S4 but no custom rom installed. I plugged my phone into my PC and the ring tone called Over the horizon started playing and a couldn't stop it unless I rebooted my phone. I then plugged it into just a wall charger and the same thing happened again. I'm running 4.4.2 build number is i337UCUFNB1. I rooted my phone with towelroot a few months back and had no problems until today.

Yah that's why I'm leaning towards getting a new ROM however full wipe doesn't solve the issue of why it is happening and how to fix it (other than full wipe)

What would that do? I haven't ran a stock rom since day 2 I had my s4. The problem is with the rom I currently have which is (GOLDENEYE) and it's playing Over the horizon every time I plug in a usb. I want to fix that. Not go to stock

Yes i know but your device have any errors. That means you must to perform a wipe data factory reset and install the newest Stock ROM XXUGNG8. After that i'm sure your Problem is solved.
If your Problem is solved after this steps you can reinstall any Custom ROM you want

Do you use Gravity Box?
The update to version 3.3.2 caused this kind of issue. In this case just do the update to 3.3.3 there the bug is fixed

Try anker batteries
This sounds like the fault that numerous people are having, phone gets to a certain age and then just starts breaking. Seems only a new motherboard actually fixes it.
if you have warranty it will change your motherboard

Hi,
For some reason my phone is booting to TWRP every time I try to Power On the phone or charge my phone while its turned off. I am facing this for these couple of weeks. I don't think I did any sort of change to device. It started to happen all of the sudden. The problem started on Stock TouchWiz 5.0. So I thought maybe flashing custom rom may fix it. So I tried to flash AospExtended ROM and the problem is still not gone. On top of it the phone also reboots randomly and boots to recovery. The frequency of the reboots on Stock TW was low but in Custom ROM it is frequent. I didn't tried flashing stock firmware yet for now because I don't have access to my PC yet.
Please can anyone help me with the problem. My phone is SM-G530H running on XCU1BPB1 Firmware.
Thanks
Just flash the stock rom using odin everything will be fine
