Hi, i just got myself a Samsung Galaxy S4 and i have succesfully flashed several roms. But when i flashed back to the original firmware with Odin, suddenly my WiFi can't be enabled, and my speakers don't work. I have tried factory resetting, and a full wipe, but it didn't work. But when i use a different rom, the wifi starts working again.
if anyone could help me it would be great
known issue with MJ5 stock firmware, is this what you have?
Flash one of the Wifi Fix modems here with Odin. Make sure that the one you download matches the firmware you are running.
Hope that fixes it, if it doesn't work first time, flash it, restart phone back into download mode, and flash again. Had to do that with mine.

No, im sorry it didn't work for me, not even the doubleflash thing
I should probably just send it in on my warranty
Hi,
I've been do many flash last 24 hours on my Galaxy S4(Model SGH-I337M, Telus). Initialy, i've the factory stock rom, rooted. So, yesterday, i've decided to install Cyanogen mods nightly on my phone. Not the first time i've been used it on my phone. No problem before. So, this night, after a friend show me the release canditate release seem to be more stable, i've been try to put it on my phone. So, accidentaly wipe all the data on my phone. When i'm back home, i've put again the samsung original rom from my operator(4.2.2), found here, on the website, whit odin. All completed succefully, but i've noticed that the wifi won't turn on after the flash, and no sound from the speaker. So, i've put Cyanogen nigthlies again to test if it rom relative, but same issues here, no sound, but the wifi was working. The phone was very instable, so. Then, finaly, put the original rom again, without any rooting. Stuck on samsung logo, that i've finaly got fixed by clear the data and cache. But, no sound, and no wifi. Instable too.
Precision about phone: Unlocked whit the service mode(work), and enabled AWS whit a software and file(tutorial found here)
My question is: Anything else i can do to make my phone work fine again, and does it's possible to make the phone totaly stock? When i boot up, i've noticed that the phone, whit all rom i've try, said on samsung logo: Kernel is not sendroid enfonced, warranty status: kernel, so i can't go to return my phone on warranty whit that. How i can erase that line, and make my phone seem to be no modified?
Just to specify, it's not the first time i flash a phone. Do many flash, whit galaxy s2, s3 and s4, and sure, mine. Got try Cyanogen, stock, know how Odin work and all, try many rom, and before today, never has any problem to do turn back, but now, it's seem to be impossible.
Thank you very much for your help, very appreciated!
I would flash the stock firmware with odin again. After flashing do a factory reset in the stock recovery.

I've just try this. Flash the stock rom whit odin, and factory reset on original recovery after. Same, no wifi, no any sound.
Just see yesterday, when i'm flashing, i'm flashing on the bootloader in odin(whit the tar for the stock rom). Today, correct this by flash on the pda section, still not work. Found here on the forum the stock bootloader, rom, csc, and modem, but when i do this whit odin, odin said fail.
Thank very much, i think my phone is dead, and nothing to do to exchange it on warranty.
I think Kies has an emergency firmware recovery mode.... maybe that'll work.

Just try this. Kies is the worst software i've ever see. The software completely freeze random. When i go to the emergency menu, never, kies recognize my phone here. I've tried to plug my phone, no recognized. Tried without plug it, no recognized. When i plug it, kies said connection in progress, and can stay here 30 min.
I'm a idea of what is my problem. Before do install of cyanogen, i've been applied the samsung official 4.3 update, whit knox. And, according to what i read on many forum, knox is not ereasable, So, it's completely freeze my phone, and nothing to do.
Anyone have the factory telus bootloader and other factory stock items because i want to put it stock.
Thank.
Finally get problems fixed by take the TELUS stock 4.3 ROM and flash it whit Odin. After, can flash cyanogen nightlies again and the phone work well again.
Whit the stock ROM, didn't see any line on the Samsung boot logo that i've rooted. After root this appear again. Knox regardless of ROM installed said 0x1.
If anyone have a fix to put it again 0x0 very appreciated otherwise the phone work fine and thank you very much for your help.

@Spacemonkie4207 never my itune was freeze, and i can do basic operation like transfer music or create playlist without any problem. My kies stay on connection in progress, and turn, turn, turn, but never connect. And when it connect, only one operation, and kies completely freeze, stop responding, need to close it, and open it again. Tried many cable, usb cable, reinstalling software, two other computer, but nothing to do.
I recovered back to stock from custom to 4.3 however if you do so, depending on carrier you could lose root and the ability to install custom recovery.
I would revert back to 4.2.2 (as it's knox free) go to samsungupdates (google it) and pull the 4.2.2 for your region and carrier. flash with odin 3.9
you'll lose root, but you can always perform again as long as not on 4.3 (with 4.3 u can still root if you remove all the knox stuff, u just lose warranty).

I've flashed stock tar NG2, and every time I try to boot the device Zact comes up and tries hijack the phone. I'm on Sprint and activated with Sprint and AOSP roms work fine. I was trying to return to stock to get the stock Lollipop update but it seems I've hit this problem.
I'm afraid to try the NAE tar since I've already flashed the NG2 bootloader but I'm wondering if that would change anything anyway.
What am I doing wrong?

Why you don't try lollipop and some ROMs have zact and other don't have but make sure before flashing new ROM to wipe everything twice and reboot to recovery again then flash your ROM.
Zact is part of the stock rom. Give it the old ##72786#. Try connecting to Wi-Fi to finish activating. If that doesn't work factory reset. Are you on a sprint post paid plan and not prepaid?
So when this phone was on stock fng2 firmware long ago when it was current firmware. I sent it off to a guy who was offering very cheap unlock. used it fine since then. but wanted to put stock rom on it and make it completely Samsung official with no problems. so it is ready for selling. but when I get the latest firmware which is ok3 and flash with odin. after booting in those crashes start happening about 2 times per second. phone is useless. I made it to settings menu and looked at baseband and software version both show unknown so I flash stock ok3 modem still samething. then I try these full firmware images:I flash od2, same thing oh1, same thing, factory reset doesn't do a thing on the rom with issues. then I try fng2 it works perfect. then I use use od2 oh1 ok3 update.zip to get ti to latest version and it works perfect. modems upgrade and work fine. but when on latest version I reset phone from the settings menu to factory default same issue after phone as booted. so currently phone is useless if it is ever resetted. so no selling. any solutions.
the issue seems to reside with the modem. probably guy messed up a lot of settings in service mode?
You name it I have tried it most likely
any ideas anyone?
anyway to reset nvram to factory default.
i have reseted it in service mode. were it says a golden backup exists. that didnt solve anything
I've tried many many things but nothing seems to work for that issue. Only way I've gotten around it is by doing a dirty flash of kitkat with odin.
I have lost the phone that has been working for ages. I am broke atm. Please help I need to use my phone. I was trying to get my radio to work again because I lost data a couple weeks back. So I have spent more time than I even should have for this trying to fix it.
I have run Odin 3.07 with
lineage-15.1-20190210-UNOFFICIAL-jfltexx
lineage-14.1-20190212-nightly-jfltexx-signed
and
open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20190209
I have wiped everything and tried 2 different system boards ;
from download mode I have
used I337MVLSGQB1_I337MOYAGQB1_I337MVLSGQB1_HOME.tar
to reload with nothing checked but F. Reset Time.
pulled out the cable then the battery.
went straght to recovery (system was going there already) to do first stage unpack with android and progress bar.
It said BAR and END
I went in back in after restart, and a full wipe.
And after a long wait .. the system very glitchy, slow like something was running in the background (modem ?) if I open the phone app it wont close and calls are silent. then resets over and over..
I have tried custom roms, and flashing latest modem and original ? Whats up ? anyone
PLEAESSEEE help soon .. I am going crazy cuz this is literally my only phone and I need to use it !!!!
Had an old system board and tried to replace it and ended up in the same place with the second board ?!?! what is going on !

I know your post was a while ago but you cannot use Odin to flash a custom ROM.
Are you flashing the latest stock ROM from sammobile.com or updato.com?

I ended up using the pixel experience rom. I am sure I have the wrong bootloader and modem for i337m though. It works with data when I reset network settings and re-enable. Data each reboot. For the longest time lineage 9505 ROMs worked until like Feb 5th I saw the data just fall use just fall off. I couldn't get chatr to work anymore. It was a nightmare I went to stock and , pitted the phone and it would only function until I added TWRP and tried a nougat rom or even with latest modem. Wifi was evn a problem. Now I am using like a lollipop bootloader with the green battery charging and modem isn't right. When I flash a different modem and bootloader in Odin and rip the battery and then cableit doesn't even change .
Wtf?

I'm not sure how you could flash the wrong bootloader unless it was flashed using TWRP or CWM. To confirm, boot into download mode to see the model # listed on the screen.
Are the modem and bootloader matched; i.e. the phone is running a 5.0 bootloader and modem? To easily ensure that both are matched, you can flash the latest stock ROM using Odin.
If the modem version is not changing after being flashed, it is possible that the internal memory is faulty.
