[Q] s4 nj4 stock freezes, no sound, reboots and sorrow - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

My s4 (at&t i337) was rooted (started on ni1) then soft bricked, I used odin 3.09 to unbrick it (ended on baseband nb1). I started to root it once again but forgot to flash the nc1 kernal before using towel root thus my issues began. My s4 freezes half the time at the lock screen/ lets me unlock the phone only to bring me to a frozen black bacground (apps present) then back to the lock screen. I've tried using odin to flash stock images and slideloading ota updates yet my problem continues. Is there a step im missing or is this game over for my s4

The freezing has stopped but the sound issue contines, if i reboot the phone a few times itll work then stop or if i make a couple phone calls ill get this crazy high pitched sound then the sound will stop again.

Bump. I've installed lollipop 5.0 to my s4 and still the issue presist. I've Odin'd back to nb1 an
d taken each up date one by one no jumping ahead. I've factory reset Wiped the cache repatriationed everything I could think of and nothing.

I had a similar problem. My Wifi would only work till I stopped using it (screen went off or I stopped pulling data). Then it would forget the local access points. I tried reflashing and changing my ROM. I formatted everything including the SD card. I finally fixed it by downgrading back to MDC and stock recovery. I took the MDL OTA (unrooted/stock recovery) and then flashed back to MF9 (manual not OTA) and then re-rooting it using ChainFire-Autoroot.
QBKing has a write up on how to do this for the MDL to MF9.
ChainFire-Auto root is posted in almost every other thread.
Doing it this method I did not have to format my Data partation and everything runs perfectly without having to freeze anything or such.

Mobile ODIN MF9 Modem flash Now BootLoop

Device: S4 Ting/Sprint
TWRP 2.6.0.0
CM 10.1
All MDC
I just installed Mobile ODIN from the Play store and used it to flash MF9 Modem and Modem #2
It rebooted into the Green download mode, I held the power off... it rebooted into the Mobile ODIN Blue android mode and said it flashed the Modem and Modem #2 then it got stuck on the Samsung screen for over 2 mins. I held the power button it rebooted and whent to the Samsung screen and now will never get past the Samsung screen.
I tried booting in to the recovery, wiping everything and then reinstalling CM 10.1 no luck..... I only have Linux computers.... is there any way for me to fix this?
I plan on installing Win 7 on a spair hdd and then use Odin3 to flash the whole device to MF9. Dose that sound like a good plan to you?

You have a good plan, just remember in the future not to flash modem with mobile Odin. It doesn't flash modem. I found that out the hard way also.

fixed
Wow, that took me about 10 hours to fix my phone
After installing Win 7 on a spar hdd I reinstalled the MF9 firmware with Odin 3.07... still bootloop with newest CM 10.1
Then I tried 3 times to download the compete deodexed rooted stock MF9 download keep failing or the md5 was wrong, arg.
Then I downloaded the One Click Rooted Stock MDC. That took 2hr's to download becuase it would not go faster then about 220KBs, arg.
Installed the full rooted MDC using the One Click Odin program, and my phone booted However Baseband was still saying MF9, strange. Wifi would not work, probably because of the firmware miss-match.
I then downloaded the Tri Force ROM and 3.1 update. That's all MF9 TW and now everything works as it should
I think I'll just stick with this Tri Force rom for awhile now... I've had my fill of Odin

Help needed!

Guys iv got a s4 i9505.. i had rooted this phone with cf autoroot using odin and then flashed twrp with odin and all was well after a few days i decided to flash the perseus kernel half way through the phone froze and after probably a good 20 minutes it rebooted but was totally reset like id just took it out the box.. now when i try to root odin says everythings all good but when the phone boots up there is no root flashed now a few times.. i keep geting a security notification saying an attempt to access the system was blocked i dont know however if this is just due to a 4.3 bug and unrelated or not as i only updated a few hiurs before rooting originally.. i know i had similar trouble rooting an s3 and it turned out to be ths phone reflashing itself after odin had flashed is this the case? I dont think so because i had root for a few days before flashing the kernel.. im stumped guys any help id be very grateful for

Flashing problem with Odin 3.0.9

Hi there! Recently I updated my phone after using KitKat for quite a while as I grew a bit bored of KitKat and thought Lollipop would do some good. Previously, I had KitKat then went to Lollipop but I didn't like Lollipop so I flashed to KitKat. Then, after some time I am where I am now, stuck on Lollipop. So I am trying to revert back to KitKat again, but on my computer after I load KitKat into Odin and press start, the console log gets stuck on aboot.mbn. Everything works fine until that point, which it then just sits there. My phone also displays a loading bar on the download mode, but sits at the very beginning. Something is wrong here. I would really appreciate any help.
Somethings you may need to know:
- Yes I have successfully gone back to KitKat before on the same phone.
- I have the correct Verizon Retail KitKat Software
- I have Odin 3.0.9
- I am running 5.0.1
- I have done a factory reset and cleared cache partition as well, but nothing seems to work.
Thanks, I look forward to your feedback!
Did you update OTA or flash the safe 5.0.1 update using odin? If you took the OTA upgrades then you are stuck, you will NOT be able to flash that phone again.

I did download a security update after the initial 5.0.1 update, so I'm guessing that's what's doing it? Right after I posted my thread I saw the warning in this forum area, so I think that may be the case. I guess oh well, think there maybe a solution in the future for KitKat? Lollipop isn't too bad after a reset but I would prefer KitKat over time.

Really need help. Almost died 3 days trying to figure out

Hi!
I'm not really new to this, but still. I have SGH-i337 At&t. Galaxy S4.
I was using Imperium rom for like a 1.5 years. Couple of days ago, I decided to go on Lollipop 5.0.1
Downloaded Albe95 S6 port for S4 v 2-0. Did everything by rules, don't really remember what I was doing, but got the firmware installed normally. I was using my phone for couple of days.
I have a second S4 AT&T. I was doing an unlock to that one. Accidentally I have switched them and installed OC3 or NJ4 stock Kernel (don't remember) to the one I was talking about before, that had Albe95 S6 Lollipop 5.0.1 port ---> then my phone soft bricked.
Got scared a little, but figured things out and used in one thread soft bricked I337MK2_Combined_Odin_Tar to resolve soft brick.
Eventually I came with i337 mk2 (STOCK) v. 4.3.
Afterwards, I'm wanting 5.0.1 lollipop anyway. I want to return it. So I have somehow installed and got to i337 UCUFNB1.
From here I can't do anything. My root is ON. used TowelRoot v3. SafeStrap not working only two buttons are on. Install and Uninstall. Cant load to Recovery. Cant odin flash to MK2 again. "FAIL" comes up. cant do anything. need help. I want Lollipop 5.0.
When I try to flash through ODIN. Nothing except ucunfb1 firmware flashes. Only that one.
I've had that problem with Odin. Try going to stock recovery and wiping cache, you may have to do a factory reset. You may have to install busy box and SuperSU, then try to install safestrap.
