[Q] HELP please!

Hi, guys im having some issues and would like some expertise. Okay so i have an s4 the model is m919v but the model is unrelated to the problem. I was running custom roms and have been for a few months and i have a phone that has a locked sim. I heard from someone that i can flash an older version of my modem and get the service menu to unlock... point is i did it and it didnt unlock BUT THATS NOT MY ISSUE. I decided to then revert to stock because my phone was being really glitchy after i tried the unlock. Now i restored my phone and got a custom recovery installed a custom rom that was working flawlessly before is now also being glitchy the same way after i tried to unlock it,
These are some glitches im experiencing:
1) phone app is taking a long time to load and it doesnt type in numbers fast
2) when i call someone it just freezes and i cant go to the call screen
3) no notification sounds coming from my phone it just vibrates but doesnt ring
and im sure a few more
IM SURE THESE HAPPENED AFTER I WENT INTO THE SERVICE MENU AND TRIED TO UNLOCK MY DEVICE.
Someone please tell me what i can do to fix this because ive already reverted to stock once.

I would Odin back to stock firmware. Start over with a fresh install of the latest stock firmware available for your device. Then root, install recovery & backup stock rom so if something weird happens you can restore back. Once this is done, then it makes since to do a custom rom. Good luck.

Can't return to stock in I8730 after installing cyanogen 11 (Galaxy Express)

Hello,
I'm from Brazil and own a Galaxy Express. Used szezso tutorial to install cyanogen 11 on it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2792157
Due to GPS instability, I was inclined to use warranty, so I had to return to stock rom.
And here begins the trouble. After goin back to the stock rom, my cellphone went mute (notification, ring, call, recording and media play), I can make calls, it has signal, but I cant hear the person on the other side. The cellphone will eventually hang when entering in standby mode, also. It hangs with the screen off and I have to remove battery.
The stock rom I'm trying to install is I8730UBAMC2_I8730ZVVAMC2_ZVV.zip (VIVO) which I obtained in sam mobile, I ve tried another brand rom (TIM) with almost the same result. It's weird because I could reinstall the same stock rom before, it's the second time I have to this.
Now I'm trying to go back to cyanogen but Framaroot is not able to instal SU, and now I dont know what to do I'm desperate.

Well, thanks for your help,
FYI I managed somehow to make framaroot work via Gandalf method and was able to reinstall Cyanogen.
The funny thing is, after I flashed I8730XWAMK1 using CP-button in ODIN (following Svennen tut) the sound was restaured, meaning that my phone got dependent on this baseband to work.
Does that mean I cant flash the stock rom anymore (the one I used to flash before), thus I cant have warranty back?

[Q] Phone wouldn't connect to WiFi with Stock Rom & won't play any SOUND OR MEDIA

I've spent a lot of time now trying to fix my phone and i'm really quite worried.
It's a Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-I337M (CSC I337MOYAAAMDJ, Baseband I337MVLUAMDJ, version 4.2.2).
I have had CM 10 on it running perfectly fine for about a year. I decided to update it though and didn't know that you could update CM right from the phone , so I downloaded the software from their site onto my phone and onto my PC. Followed the instructions installation froze and didn't move forward for over a day .... so I gave up.
I went looking for and downloaded the phone's stock firmware for both my carrier (Virgin Mobile, Canada) and for Bell's, so I installed TWRP with Odin 3.07 without issue. When I install the stock firmware my WiFi will not turn on.
So i've tried installing several rom's putting them on the SD card and using TWRP on my phone and i've found out that if I use Goldeneye and tell it my phone is an I9505, or hyperdrive (I9505) or at the moment Google Play Edition (JFLTE 5.01, kernel = Googy-Max3) that the WiFI DOES TURN ON as soon as the rom is loaded !!! So I thought I was good, but no
When flashed with either it's stock I337M firmware or these custom I9505 rom's my phone will play no audio. Chrome just crashes if I go to play any music or video. If someone call's, the ringer doesn't work but after several 'rings' my phone start's to vibrate indicating they called (aka the dialer lags out and then crashes). I can make calls too but when I talk the recipient can't hear me, nor I them.
It downloaded and re-installed all the app's of my google backup totally fine and using wi-fi. It play's games fine (but with no sound), i can txt fine, etc. It notices and connects to the network (Virgin Mobile) fine (I turned off wifi and tried downloaded stuff, txts go back and forth, and my phone labels Virgin)
I'm on a stupid 2 year contract and this phone cost $650 at the time I got it. It's knox 0x1 so no warranty to have it repaired. Does ANYONE have ANY idea what might be causing my phone not to play any sound's? I've tried pretty much everything I can think of.
I'd be willing to live with a totally cripples phone ... but it's got to at least work for receiving or sending phone calls and this sound issue crashes the dialer and even if I manage to pickup when it's vibrating before the other person has hung up there's no sound, neither of us can hear each other .
Does ANYONE have ANY idea what could be doing this or how to fix it? I'm so depressed and worried right now that I just a phone I spent a lot of money and am on a stupid contract on :/. I fixed the wifi problem by flashing with a rom that 'makes it' a GT-I9505G, baseband I337MUMUAMDL (v 5.0.1) (vs SGH-I337M, baseband I337MVLUAMDJ (v 4.2.2)), but the same sound and audio/media problem exist's no matter what firmware or version the phone ends up being .
I should have just left it with CM as it was but *sigh* here I am, please help.

try with this firmware
lets me see

k thanks i'll try it (once it's slow download is done) and update this post. Looks the same except I guess it's android v5.0.1 (well and it's a different CSC/PDA).
K well i've tried that firmware and it's given me some abnormal problems.
Odin typically just writes in like two minutes and boom done, but when I tried to flash with the firmware you suggested like every 15 seconds it would say ...
"Receive Response from boot -loader"
"Transmission Complete.."
"Now Writing .. Please wait about 2 minutes"
It kept cycling through those 3 messages until it FINALLY finished and it say's PASS but it took 9 min 53 seconds which is like 5 times longer then it's ever taken.
Wheather this is relevant or not i'm not sure just trying to give as much details as I can.
Anyways, after booting the phone the samsung logo came up as usual and usually it takes like 5-10 min sitting at this logo before the phone completes loading, presumably setting up the firmware I imagine.
It's been now sitting at that logo for over 20 minutes and i'm about to try wiping with TWRP the davlic cache/cache/data/internal and either trying again with odin (v3.07) OR
If that contines to not work I might put the tar.md5 on the external SD card and recover a saved backup I have on the SD card (with the stock firmware I had before that doesn't allow Wi-Fi to be enabled nor audio/media to play) and use Mobile Odin Pro .apk (I paid for the pro version) from within that restored recovery to flash the firmware you suggested to my phone again.
This is probably redundant but I just figure I might as well try absolutely everything I can possibly think of with your firmware.
If you have any idea why I might be experiencing these abnormal Odin flashing and/or initial loading conditions of the firmware you (or anybody ) suggested i'd appreciate any advice you can give.
I'm going to try and reflash with Odin on my PC again right now (i'm certain thing's like the USB cable are fine and my PC and phone can transfer data without issue .. but that's why i'm going to try mobile odin if after this next attempt doesn't work either).
I'll keep the thread updated, any and all advice is welcomed and highly appreciated
EDIT: OMG it made a like startup theme sound ... that's the first time it's outputted sound in 3 day's !!! It's at the Samsung screen loading the newly flashed firmware so hopefully that completes because wow my phone made noise finally !! Now to wait, and wait....

It won't go past the Samsung logo. So I guess i'll try Mobile Odin. I don't have much faith but it's worth trying.
Uh the backup of the stock firmware I made won't load ... but the hyperdrive rom did. Sound and the dialer work perfectly fine in this rom now, so I guess thing's are more or less fixed. Even though i've wiped the cache/davlic/internal/data in order to prepare to flash the other firmware or this hyperdrive rom (I wipe it every time) in this rom it's reporting my phone's baseband to be I337MVLUGOC4 which is that of the firmware you suggested ...
I'd still rather not use this rom, I thought it was ok at first but meh i'm going to try to go back to CM (after all this *rolls eyes*), trying to use Mobile Odin to install the firmware that you recommended and that appears to have ... somehow fixed the sound can't detect the model of my phone and is dumping, this is not something that has happened with the app before so I don't think i'll be flashing the firmware you suggested.
If it did something to globally fix the crashing when an app was instructed to play audio as it appears to have I guess i'm going to just go download the full CM now, put it on the SD card and install it with TWRP.
So uh, not 100% there yet but it does appear what you've suggested has solved my problem (because worst case scenario i'll just be stuck with the Hyperdrive rom ... but i'll have a working phone) so thanks so much bud I was quite upset and worried about what I was going to do still paying off a useless phone on a contract i'm stuck with for another year still.
I suppose there's no real need in continuing to update this thread as it appears my problems are solved and all that's left are things i'm doing not to fix anything but just because of personal preference over what rom to use but if you want to know anything more just ask, otherwise thank you so much you saved my ass and i'm very grateful.

No cellular network after installing CM12.1 on Straight Talk SM-G900F (klte)

I recently installed TWRP and then the latest snapshot of CM12.1 for my phone described in title. The android version was upgraded from KitKat (4.4 I believe) to 5.1.1. Everything works fine with the install except I have no network whatsoever. Can't text, can't call, can't use data etc. I made a post on the CM subreddit but didnt get a lot of help (can't post link) . Here is what I have tried: changing APN settings (which I have heard should at least let me call and text if incorrect); flashing various modems such as BOE3, BNL9, and BOD3 (all of them get a FAIL! (auth) in ODIN); restoring my KitKat backup (makes the phone unusable); trying to flash the default L rom for the phone (Also fail to flash in ODIN and TWRP). So at the current time I am basically stuck on CM12.1 and all of its amazingness with no phone functions, I basically have a small tablet at the moment lol.
Here is some information from the about of my phone, if it is helpful at all.
Model: SM-G900F
CM Version: 12.1-20151204-NIGHTLY-ktle (Installed the nightly after the snapshot didn't work, same problem persists)
Android version: 5.1.1
Baseband version: S902LUDU3AOG2
Carrier: Straight Talk
If any more info is needed, just let me know. I appreciate any help, as I am pretty much at square one still. I have googled for days to try to fix this, and haven't come up with anything. It seems no one has had this specific problem before.
If I can't fix this issue, is there any way I can downgrade back to what I had to begin with?

I only have one other sim card on me, and its through verizon. It didn't work on the phone either. I would definitely just buy a new sim card if that would mean it would work. The whole IMEI thing worked, but I am not sure what to do with that information.

(Definitely a G900F? Check what it says in download mode)
Checking the IMEI was to make sure you haven't wiped/corrupted the EFS partition, which contains the Radios needed to make and receive called, along with the IMEI (Hopefully you researched enough to back that up before messing with the phone)
Try flashing another stock ROM with ODIN 3.10.7, go for a different Lollipop ROM from sammobile. com
Some stock ROMs fail to flash, some work, (Phone dependant it seems)
Then boot into recovery and factory reset > try to boot

I have tried 2 separate L roms for the G900F. It says in download mode the phone is a SM-S902L and I read somewhere to get the true model of the phone you look at the FCC id under the battery. Well the FCC id says it is a G900V. at one point in trying to fix it, I tried a stock L rom for the G900V and TWRP told me that it was intended for a kltevzw device and that mine is a klte, so that is why I assume that it is in fact a G900F. I have been using ODIN 3.10.7 to flash everything as well. (Have't tried TWRP for the most recent tries since it takes longer to setup and I doubt it would work but it's worth a try I suppose.
I looked on Sam Mobile for the SM-S902L and there is only one firmware for it, which is 4.4.2, the same one it was installed with when I got it. From my understanding SM-902L is the straight talk branding of the G900V, and trying to flash that firmware didn't work either. Every time I try to flash something it terminates with a FAIL! (auth). What I also understand is that Straight Talk has not released an official version of L for the phone. So it seems my options now are to somehow get the modem to work right in CM12, try to somehow downgrade to 4.4.2, or wait for Straight Talk to release an update for my phone which is not really an option. I just got this phone and I really don't want to have to buy a whole new one just because of software problems. In my mind there HAS to be some way to fix this.
EDIT: my bad, I should have mentioned when I tried to flash the G900V rom it was also CM12, not a stock.
EDIT AGAIN: I seem to have fixed this problem. I have no idea how I did it, but I finally got it to restore to the stock 4.4.2 rom. I seriously have no clue how it worked but it did. Texting and data once again work, but i am now having a problem where I can't make or receive calls. Call immediately ends/goes straight to voicemail. I don't suppose you know anything about that, if you do that would be awesome. I'm gonna call ST in the morning and see if they can tell me anything from their end. But otherwise, I guess my problem is solved. Lol.

I know it sounds simple or may sound stupid but have you tried entering your APN? I have to do that with most of the custom Roms I flash or I won't have service. Also, make sure the correct modem is flashed and up to date.

emmc write fail aboot

Hello I'm currently using a sprint note 4 and been having this message shown in download mode after trying to flash anything on odin. I've tried different versions of odin but they all fail. This started to happen after flashing QI5 bl/modem while on lineage OS. I may have done something wrong because after the phone finished booting, signal was always weak or would drop. This also happens on older builds of lineage and other aosp ROMs I tried so I know its a problem with my phone and not the rom. Nobody else is experiencing the same either. I've tried going back to the previous bl/modem and stock mm but they'll all fail. Flashing the same QI5 is the only one that passes on odin but signal will still be weak after it boots up. Calls and SMS work most of the time or once in a while but data never does or loads very slow unless connected to wifi. I think I really messed it up this time for the first time I hope there is a fix if anyone knows. Might not want to have to get a new phone yet. Ty
edit - found out about this https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/general/firmware-qi5-released-10-11-2017-t3686982
and the weak signal might be with my service i will check with that because it still happens after the stock flash. maybe it isnt modem related. thx to those who uploaded the flashable tar it doesnt fail in odin
