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!

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.

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
After installing CyanogenMod 11 my phone worked great. Had better battery life. Performed faster. But then I wanted lollipop so I installed the Google play ROM since the bell s4 ROM wasn't out yet then finally went to liquidsmooth where I started encountering video playback problems on online content but all other sound worked fine. I tried going back to the stock ram then the USB cord broke halfway through and put my phone into a weird recovery mode that said use kies. Finally I put it into download mode and flashed it with another USB. I never tested audio but the WiFi wouldn't turn on so I tried flashing modem files only for it not to work. Finally I went back to CyanogenMod 11 but the dialer crashes when I try to call. The music crashes when I try to play it. YouTube videos won't load nor will Facebook. My phone is a mess.
(BTW my phone had a little android dude on the ground with his stomach open and a little red triangle with an exclamation mark in it when booted into recovery. Idk if that means anything)
Please help, how do I fix my phone?
Do you ever wipe before flashing?
Hey guys,
after flashing the 5..1.1 rom my Note 4 started to lag at the keyboard after typing few letters or reading the website or in menu.
I use the N910FXXU1COH4 software. The worst part is that it happened yesterday. I havent got lags before (never ever).
Now I've got also lags when I downgrade to 5.0.1
Do you have any idea why this happened? My phone is ofc rooted and I've deleted most of the useless (for me) crap out of it like Instagram, NFC etc.
Do you have this kind of problems with your phone?
Thanks for reply.
I had the same issues you've stated after flashing a 5.1.1 Sweden rom with ODIN.
It lagged like crazy while other aspects were buttery smooth.
After a factory reset and a re-install with ODIN (just the way I did it- not saying it's the correct way of doing it) my phone is running as it should- super quick, smooth and as a Note 4 should be.
So I'd recommend full-wiping and then re-installing the 5.1.1 tar via ODIN.
I've also rooted now too with no issues.
Good luck.
I've got also problem in games. Sometimes the animation just freeze for about 0,5 s and then it runs again. It happens everywhere. And I've got it from yesterday. Dunno whats the problem...
I'm having lags and stutter too my friend, but i'm gonna leave it like this for now and wait for a proper release of 5.1.1 for my country instead of frankenstein mix it like i did now.
If that does not fix the lags im going back to 4.4.4 and never upgrade it again.
Guys, this problem is quite strange.
I've downgraded to 5.0.1 and then to 4.4.4 and every time Ive got lags on keyboard and TW. My phone started to freeze for about 0.5 s - 1 s. Its very annoying and I dont know how to deal with this problem. And it scares me ! Cuz knox is [1] and the warranty went for a walk I guess so i dont know what to do now...
Have you ever this kind of problem with your phone? Even the downgrade did nothing. Before flashing the 5.1.1 system it was fine. Now going down and wiping whole system gives me nothing ;(
Please help! I dont know what to do now...
On cyanogenmod 12.1 works fine. The problem is I guess with the touchwiz systems...
On 5.1.1 touchwiz is also overheating now :/ maybe thats the problem?
So the problem looks like this : After flashing the Swedish 5.1.1 system it all started up.
I can see it in:
1) Games - when it randomly freezes for second
2) Keyboard - after hitting multiply in letters typing something like asidiasjdasijdsaid -> it sudennly stucks and then after about 1 s the button ive smashed shows up in the text message with the lag3
3) touch wiz - after swiping from homescreen to another screen just dont answer and after about again 1s it changes
4) the top bar - with wifi, sounds, brightness, clock, battery etc) also goes down with lag - I swipe with my finger and after 1 second - it react.
5) sometimes it shows the grey suqare at the bottom "Phone is in factory mode" - red letters. It shows only for a while and suddenly disappear.
I've changed every rom now - from 4.4 to 5.1.1 and its still broken! On the Cyanogenmod it works just fine. Something might be broken but I dont know what. Also in cyanogenmod the only game i play have this lags. Other things works fine.
Any solution, what can i do? everything was ok before flashing the 5.1.1? Ive got the EFS folder backuped via TWRP
// EDIT
So - after I've found the backup which I've done just after buying Note I've restored full system (EFS, cache, system etc) and it helped. I guess 5.1.1 flashes makes that my Note 4 had a very bad day.
You can close the topic. My advice is to always have backup ! Glad Ive done it before.
Hello,
All sounds on my galaxy s4 (gt-i9505) suddenly stopped. I dont hear any sound (buttons, mp3s,....).. The only sound I hear is sometimes within boot animation, when a booting reaches system, audio is gone. I tried many roms, many basebands, many experiments even stock roms, but nothing helped, but I noticed that audio works IN SAFE MODE!!!! So if there is BASEBAND UNKNOWN = AUDIO WORKS!!! But why? I tried many basebands/modems, but it wasn't helpful.
I flashed with Odin 3.10.6, CWM 6.0.4.4 (I cant get into another recovery after VolumeUP, so I MUST use this recovery.. I dont know why...), then I tried Omega ROM v40, v41; Phoenix ROM; GPE; some stock roms for my and other countries, but nothing helped.. Sound only in SAFE MODE, so I guess its not HW issue.
Last working configuration was on Omega ROM v40, but there have started troubles with sound..
PS: Yes, I tried a trick with headphones, that says you have to insert and pull out a jack many times and clear the hole .... didnt worked in my case.
I read many topics, but to most people helped returning to stock rom, however not in my case again...
Please help me..
thanks
I am also in the same boat as you. At the moment, I am using the S4 i9505 with Slim Rom and Open Gapps.
A while ago, I flashed TWRP and some how that fixed it for a while! But then the problem came back which is quite unfortunate. Since the phone is now mine (it was my sisters) I really want to fix this bad boy and use it (I use Xperia SP if you haven't noticed )
One question, you talked about SAFE MODE? Where can we find that? Remember, I have the same problem as you.
If I find a solution, I will PM and post here on what I did
Cheers!

Make a Nandroid backup in TWRP or CWM, and make FULL wipe in your phone (Advanced Wipe and confirm everything in TWRP). Now flash your OS, then GApps (I recommend Nano). And, what custom ROM? It can help recognizing the problem.
If I did help, please leave ?.
