problem with WIFI and 3G SAMSUNG GALAXY S4 I9505 - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi ,
I have this problem persisting since 6 months and plus , I only have the EDGE ( E ) when trying to use my phone for internet and also the WIFI it keeps forgetting the access point.
After doing a research I guess the problem is on the EFS folder.
I don't have a backup of it since it's corrupted , I need help to get things work again on my phone any tutorial or an EFS working folder?
Thanks

Any Help?

No I just flashed the latest Stock ROM 5.0.1 .. but this problem persisted before when I was running 4.4.2 version also one time I flashed CM and Google Edition rom.

Yes I just flashed the latest stock rom of Lollipop.
I flashed it one more time with Odin with pit file and Nand Erase checked and the wifi's problem is solved , now I have to fix the 3G problem which is always stock on EDGE.

No Sound after Knox? 4.3 / 4.4.2

Hello all,
So this is my first time needing serious help.
Almost 24 hours ago I wanted to flash a new ROM on my i9505 just because it was time for an update.
I downloaded the 4.2.2 leak in order to install the Echoe ROM according to THIS and THIS instructions. It all went fine but with no sound and wifi.
I tried flashing different kernels and modems but nothing helped, wifi was working sometimes when I installed other 4.4.2 custom roms.
Basically I'm not new to flashing custom roms but this time I have a feeling something bad happened.
I think since I installed the 4.2.2 leak I got no sound.
Currently I'm on the Echoe 4.3 "Final Bean", my Modem is I9505XXUFNA1 - and still no sound.
I'm totally lost now right now because I spent hours of looking for a fix or working ROM but with no success.
Hope someone can help me q_q

Flashing that file can either Fix your Sound/wifi and etc if you have newbootloader,and Flashing a Wrong LTE aka Wifi fix/NON-HLOS will break your sound if you have an oldbootloader.
Old bootloader = you can't flash any newer LTE modem than UBMH1.
New bootloader = you can flash all the new LTE modems

Thanks for your quick response. The reason im asking is because im rooting my S4 tonight (not my first time rooting) that is running 4.3 MK2 and im still a bit worried im missing information as far as what can and cant be flashed after rooting. Ive read up on KNOX and have decided im not going to stress over triggering it but I dont want to end up with any other issues like the OP mentioned.
My plan is to root w/ CF Auto Root, Flash TWRP via ODIN, and then flash Beanstalk 4.4.2 via TWRP (efs and nandroid backup made somewhere within these steps).
If done correctly, can the above process cause any issues?
How would I downgrade to a 4.2.2 rom if I wanted to?
Thanks a lot for your help

Your plan should work fine mate but you can no longer downgrade into 4.2.2 after flashing a stock 4.3 rom. and if you flash 4.4.2 stock Kitkat in a future you can no longer downgrade to stock 4.3 . but you can definitely flash a custom 4.3 rom, as well as AOSP and CM11 Roms
Edited. Fixed
No Sound

[Q] c11 roms baseband unknown

I recently flashed the temasek and official CM11 roms, but the baseband has been unknown since.
So I had flash back to the original rom that I was using, my QUESTION is that I like cm11 alot, so how can i fix this problem?
Which Note model? -- N9005 or N9005 variant? -
T/w8 ?
Which recovery do you use?

It is actually N9006 but temasek's v45 for n9005 and earlier worked fine, I am using CWM rec.
Until recently, temasek's v46 and 47, the baseband becomes unknown
Last time a user had that issue, he fixed it by flashing stock via odin and then CM but he was using a n9005 so I am not sure if that will work for you as well...However no harm in trying.

I'm sorry but I speak poor English. What is a Stock? I've tried flashing kernel and baseband but it did not work.
When I use Temasek's v45, it shows that my baseband is ML1, but when I use further version, it becomes unknown.

ok i see, i tought it was sth like baseband or kernel or sth else.
I just flashed a n9006 rom made by chinese romers to get my note mp4 into a note3, or i could just use temasek's v45.
I just wanna use the latest cm11 rom but it seems that it's not quite possible for now, so i'll just stick to my original rom...

are there kernels and basebands that don't match, i mean they just don't work when put together?
I actually got to a similar problem, after some cyanogenmod update I suddenly got no cellular service at all signal strength stuck on -120db and its stuck on searching for service, flashing older versions, wipes, all did nothing

it worked for me though
It also worked for me although sadly I could not use my backup again after flashing back to cyanogenemod so its time to start downloading. At least my phone is fully functional now, even if I lost a bit of data.
I had the same issue move than once, i would lose imei number etc.
Found out that it wasn't prompting for pin unlock on boot.
Since removing this I've had no problems
Yea it also wasn't prompting for ping with mine.
Though starting again fresh does work, I am currently again on the latest nightlies. however if this happens again I will probably wait for a stable release because having to reinstall everything is not really desirable.

Have you updated your baseband and modem to match your new ROM? You need to flash them in desktop Odin, normally a few times in a row, and once you reboot your WiFi etc should be back.

Ahh, well if you still have the 4.2.2 bootloader then you'll probably have some WiFi/sound issues depending on the ROM you pick. You can always flash a 4.2.2 Based ROM to unbork your phone and then look for an alternative?

No IMEI, Baseband,and Signal after Downgrading to Stock KK

So I had DarkLord N5 on my N9005 before, which was awesome, but it had performance issues (especially when gaming). Then i downgraded to Stock KitKat using Odin and after boot up It showed No Signal, and everything was freezing and force closing. I somehow went to settings and found that i also have issues with IMEI and Baseband version, it was all unknown. The worst part is i did not backup my EFS. Any help guys please :crying:
I also have no audio playback
Im no pro here, but as i found in my research it is hard to downgrade from lolipop to kitkat as in 5.0 new architecture has been presented which they called art. I think. So it gives lots of incompatibilities. I tried the same as you but i ended up going stock lolipop for a while.
Yesterday i flashed Ressurrection remix 6.0.1 Marshmallow based off Slim roms and CM and i admit this is so far best rom i have tested. (Unless you need all fancy spen features)
I'd try to stick to anything that is 5.1 or above since great battery life.
Sorry for not much info, but i couldn't get past your post unanswered.

I had many experiences with downgrading from new version to old version with my S3 and my Note, but never had this issue. Something is causing this...
founded a old backup of CM11.. Flashed CWM and restored to CM. Works flawlessly, but still no sound and those stuff

So i had problems with my either s2 or note 4.
But afaik if u have updated your bootloader there may be no way to get back. And lack of IMEI on reverted KitKat isn't anything new. I bet going simply to anything art. Based will do.
People here are arguing on same issues as yours. Just don't listen to these "flash with odin" guys.. This doesn't work. Even if u flash the stock one.

I tried it, but still no use :c
I would not try any other ROMs before trying to flash the latest stock rom from sammobile.com. Hopefully, this will resolve the baseband and imei issue. Sometimes, the missing or wrong imei is caused by a mismatch between the bootloader and modem firmware.

I did downgrading from 5.0 (CM12) to Stock 4.4 KitKat in my S3, but never had issues like this.
Downgrading from a cm rom to a stock rom via Odin can be fine because installing a cm rom does NOT alter the phone's bootloader or modem. Trying to downgrade from stock 4.4.2 to stock 4.3 with Odin on an s3 cannot be done.

Oh, never knew about this, thanks for the info
Sorry, I meant to say that installing a cm rom DOES NOT change the bootloader or modem. When you flash back to stock via Odin, you are simply writing over the existing modem and bootloader with the same bootloader and modem if you are flashing the same stock rom that was on the phone before installing cm.
I flashed between KitKat and LP official just fine.

hello there can you please help me my phone samsung galaxy s4 1337 at&t is no sounds , lag when playing videos and lag when video calling . isearch about this problem and it says i will need to flash custom rom . please help thank u .
With a locked bootloader, you can only flash a custom ROM based on a stock ROM.

It could simply be battery problem. Check your battery first.
No sound could be hardware problem too.
Sometime reboot should work.
If you are not rooted, the bloatware could cause the lag in video.
If you have no hardware fault, then you should think about rooting the phone and installing the custom rom.

batterry is not the problem my phone is rooted already ill try safetrap to flash costum rom but when i backup and restored .it says restored failed
The custom ROM would have to be based on a stock ROM and flashable with safestrap.

Which custom rom did you flash with safestrap?
Since you have locked bootloader, you need to flash the kernel that matched with your bootloader in order to work.
