[Q] build and kernel instability - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I am dealing with the following issue explained below.
I started off with a stock G900W8. I then flashed this rom, everything ended up working fine:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797336
I then flashed this rom,:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/unified-development/rom-wip-27-9-14-t2889474
but my mobile internet no longer worked, even after I tried manually setting the APN'S. On threads they say if your internet isn't working you should just flash a working kernel but that is so extremely confusing. I do not know what kernel will work with my device.
I do not know if, after flashing my device twice, if it is still a g900w8 or g900f or whatever. I am hoping someone can lead me to a kernel(s) that will solve my internet problem on the current rom i am using.
Or maybe something else is causing my mobile data problems?. BTW calling and wifi work fine.
Thanks.

[Q] i9505 Updatet to 4.4GE - Phone/modem not working

Hi
I wiped my phone and installed 4.4. GE on it. At the same time i flashed a new modem firmware on it since i had trouble with phone/wifi reception. However, althoug Wifi works perfectly, the phone (and bluetooth) is a complete mess. Phone is simply not working. Trying to call will produce all kinds of crashes. Below is the PDS/CSC/modem info. Somebody able to see where i went wrong?

How did you flash your modem? The modem you flashed is MK8, right? Try flashing again (in odin, use PHONE to flash) or try MKE/MKF modem. I'm using Jamal's 4.4 GE v4 with MKE and all is working well.

no sound, no Google now, no voice search, no YouTube, help

Ok so I been trying to unlock my phone to use it with gosmart, so I have been flashing all types of stuff to my phone lately so I'm not sure what caused it but I have no sound or Google now or youtube anything that requires sound to function. Google now and YouTube open but trying to search or start a video doesn't work.
Tried flashing all types of ROMs to fix it to no avail. Also failed at getting it to work on go smart (T-Mobile mvno) as well. How do I fix my mic and sound problems? Also while I asking, since they all have the same hardware why can't I just flash a T-Mobile ROM and T-Mobile baseband and just use it as a gsm device?
I had the same issue
I followed this guide
Spiricore’s Extra Safe Root-To-ROM Guide
search for it and follow it exactly and it will fix your phone.
I had the same exact issue along with my dialer freezing, did this guide and now I am working again. I think when I was flashing I wasn't wiping the phone good enough, this guide tells you to wipe each thing 3 times even though its tedious I did it and it worked when nothing else did.
Nope didn't work. Wiped everything multiple times and reinstall cm nightly, didn't work

The reason why you can't just flash a TMO rom is because they don't have the exact same hardware, there are carrier specific options in the kernel. I repeat, do NOT just flash a TMO rom over your Sprint S4, it will brick. (I've done it to my S3 and it didn't go so well.) If you want the GSM rom, make sure you either flash a Sprint kernel over the TMO rom immediately without rebooting, or (I would recommend) exchange the boot.img files from a Sprint rom over to the TMO rom and remove the device checks. But if anything happens (if you brick) you're on your own.
As for the first question, you can try flashing over a different kernel and make sure it's either aosp or tw depending on your rom. Also wipe data+dalvik+cache. I haven't had that happen to me though...

i9505 Problem

Hi Again Guys,
My phone recently wasn't getting any signal when i flashed to the ROM 4.4.2. So people said to flash back to the stock rom, i have now done that and the WiFi stopped working. I can't even download a ROM manager to try and load another ROM.
I think i've really messed up my phone. I want to wipe everything completely and start from new, then re try flashing to the latest ROM 4.4.2 so i can get my WiFi and Mobile Data working again. I can't get calls without it having a black screen / no sound. My phone keeps turning off every so often.
I think i've missed matched wrong Modems and Baseband Versions?
What information do you need exactly from my phone to give you to try and help? Really need my phone working for work purposes. I will give a donation to a person that helps me fix it completely. (paypa)
Thanks guys.
I was reading ur latest posts and the solution is: HERE

[Q] need help pls

so i had my s4 i9505 rooted recently by a friend all went well was working fine. week later was trying to get it sim free with a few methods including changing baseband, none of them helped the only thing that did happen was my network coverage gone missing so i switch to diff baseband which solved the network coverage issue, but then i got prob with wifi, i cant enable it, everytime i try i get the shield pop up saying that my phone security blocked this action and no further action is needed. tried the installing the wifi fix thingy via odin, tried factory reset via twpr and a diff rom (MIUI), none of these methods helped. any1 got any ideas whats going on and how to solve this?
solved. flashed diff MIUI rom with 4.4.2 android (4.2.2 previous one), and wifi issue is solved. can lock or delete this thread pls

No network access (Moto G5 Plus)

Hi everyone,
I've been having a problem since yesterday morning. Everything seemed to be fine with my phone before I flashed a custom rom. I was using at the moment MSM Xtended and I flashed the latest version of CrDroid. After flashing that other custom rom and booting, my phone had no network signal. All it reads on the status bar after that is just "No service". Of course, I removed the SIM card and reinserted it many times but that did nothing.
I've already tried flashing another rom (the latest AICP rom) and even going back to the one I was using at the beginning, but still nothing. I even tried reflashing the NON-HLOS.bin file and erasing modemst1 and modemst2, but it didn't do anything either. I also tried flashing this deodexed stock rom and booting. Interestingly, that kind of fixed the problem, since it recovered its network functionality. However, after reflashing an Oreo custom rom, it loses it again (actually, I've done that a few times today, but the last time I tried flashing the stock rom, for some reason it didn't fix it anymore). I don't know if in this case it's worth mentioning it, but I've tried checking my IMEI on both, custom roms and stock rom, and it's never been 0 at any moment.
TL;DR: My phone lost its network signal after flashing a new custom rom and I have no idea why. If anyone could somehow help me, I'd be really, really grateful.
I have had this happen so many times it is not crazy LOL. The best you can do is find a rom that it happens the least. For me it has been AOSP extended. Signal has been great. It is a bug that I dont think the devs even thought would happen with 8.1 roms. It will happen to everyone at some point if we stay on these 8.1 roms i guess until we get a workable 8.1 stock rom. There will be those who chime in saying it nevver happen to them but it will eventually.
Well, it's nice to know I'm not actually the only one then, I guess. But is there nothing I can do? Since I can't seem to get it fixed even by flashing the stock ROM anymore and flashing AOSP extended didn't seem to help at all either
I know brother there is no rhyme or reason it just happens. I am hoping when 8.1 stock comes out for us there will be a new batch of 8.1 custom roms without this problem. Right now i am on extended and havent had any signal problems for a few weeks so who knows.

Okay. Luckily enough, Oreo stock ROM doesn't look like it's gonna take too much more to arrive... Or so I hope, at least. Thanks
I was using LinageOs and it was working great. Then I decided to install DolbyAtmos and for that I flashed Magisk . Suddenly i had no network but my sim cards were detected , IMEI was there but no network on either sim whatsoever. I tried reflashing the LinageOs and PixelExperience ROM but none worked. So I tried flashing(ADB) the stock firmware only to lose my IMEI . After reading this post I tried Debloated ROM and my network was back. I should have stopped at that point but I tried to return back to stock again and lost IMEI again and now I have tried Dbloated,LineageOs , PixelExperience , AOSP Extended , but none helped me getting back network . Now I am stuck with this phone with no network , I had a backupp of my system before I flashed Oreo ROMs (with EFS) so I can get IMEI back but no network. This phone was my daily driver and now I have no idea what to do.

Everything you said is exactly as if I had written it. I did all of that and now I'm exactly in the same position. No idea how to fix it yet. Still, if you managed to find a solution somehow, please write a reply on this thread again

No success yet , but read on some posts that different baseband could be an issue.
Solution I've tried and worked 100 %
Hi bodies,
You can turn off your phone,
Go to fastboot menu by pressing and holding power button and volume down button in the same time.
Roll to "Restart Bootloader" with volume up/down and validate with power button.
Now select start and the network is back.
see you !:fingers-crossed:
