Wifi and sound problem

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

You also need to add some of the stuff it is written in download mode and the log in Odin when in fails. If you went to 4.4.2 on N9005 you can not return to 4.3 (which you should have read by now, there are only 200 posts in 50 threads about it). What kind of N9005 was yours (16/32/64GB), what region/CSC?

Do either of you have a 16 GB version?

Hi All,
My problem :
I wanted to install the official kitkat rom but I made a big mystake : I took N900 files instead of N9005...
After that I successfully installed the right bootloader and CWM.
I installed some cuustom roms but the setupwizard crash at the last step
I tried to flash the complete official 4.4.2 rom but odin failed with message on the phone : "ODIN : invalid ext4 image"
Anybody has any idea to help me ?

hi guys i manage to fix it, well mine anyway worked by flashing the pit i found on xda and selecting repartion on odin 3.7 along with german 4.4.2 to my n9005 from Hong Kong, re booted and done a factory reset via volume button also wiped cache and re started and it came back alive on the selected german rom 4.4.2. hope it hels others. ps my note 3 was from hong kong n9005 32gb

After installing DBT NB4 FW ( or with Polish NB3 FW) my LTE speeds become almost 0.
I tried multiple installs.
Any guidance?

Quick tip: Uninstall KIES.
Kies is like a big brother.
Use ODIN 1.85 and tick update phone bootloader. That's how I fixed mine. The other versions of Odin wouldn't let me update bootloader.
Of course, before you do this Flash/wipe data in recovery mode.
But uninstalling KIES solved my issue.

Quick FYI and correction -
Hard Brick = Won't power on or do anything.
Soft Brick = Can still access the device - bootloop/power up/bootloader/recovery.

Did You ever tried a full wipe several times before and after flashing?

Post some more information.
1. Where did you buy the phone
2. PDA/CSC/Baseband
3. IMEI still displayed as a number or is it null/null
4. Do you have EFS, FSC, and FSG backups
5. Which stock rom(s) did you flash
It sounds to me as though you have been flashing the wrong stock rom for your device. The behaviour you describe sits in line with that.

i bought it From official Samsung Shop, and it was running like normal before this problem.
IMEI is ok, not showing null or anything like that.

didnt help

Okey you need to get EFSBackupPro and use it to backup efs and fsc and fsg partitions. Just Google it and you will find a link to the thread here on xda.
After that you need to tell us what is the phone model. Look at my signature to see what a model looks like.
I think you flashed the wrong stock ROM. We need to find out which model phone you have so we can link you to the correct n9005 stock ROM.
You must make efs backup first. You can lose your imei and I have not seen a working method to fix the phone if that happens.

Efsbackuppro has bricked Note 3's previously. I wouldn't advise it.

Not sure about what happened in those case. It is quite literally a GUI that runs a few dd commands, that's it.

I have the exact same problem and I think it's a hardware problem. This was happening to me yesterday and is not related to software. I think it's the sound IC or dac.

After flashing stock rom, do FULL WIPE using recovery.
You did not mention doing it.

I did this and no change. As I mentioned I don't think this is a software problem. I did remove cameras and usb charging port even the upper hedfone port and is the same behaviour. One of the iC is malfunction . I did stop everything that is related to sound and I use now my phone as a tablet with no sound and recording capabilities.

L.E.
After I was looking over schematic of motherboard and online for similar hardware defect I think is the audio codec IC WCD9320 that need to be re-balled or replaced. On the MB it has the the code U707. I will try this tommorow.

CHECK
I did not seen any Note 3 with full sound hardware bullit , but I faced to not have sound when I flashed a different firmware and I tryed t update trough ODIN to the last firmware nf3 nf4 TRY THAT AND put your news here , DON'T TRY TO OPEN YOUR PHABLET DOES NOT HAVE PRB AND ALSO SAMSUNG INFO app from play... you will se your hardware is ok and also your sound codecs )::)) ODIN 3.07 is the most stable >LAST FIRMWARE (UPGRADE) PROBABLY TO TRY INSERT YOUR CSC AND PIT Country files ( AREA CODE for example XEO mine )

I did reheat al the components on the main board. Nothing happened. But... i did reflash (as a last try)with mobile odin the last build from south est of Europe and miracle happened is up and working well.

Try flashing just the latest modem. And then keep the phone off for a few minutes. (Uncheck autoreboot from odin while flashing modem)
In addition are the baseband version and imei number okay?

As the gentlemen said above, it will just be the modem. It seems like your friend has flashed a new rom, possibly 4.3 or 4.4.# and hasn't got the correct modem. Tell him to search on Sam Mobile for the correct modem for his device numbers and flash it via odin, again as stated above.
After all that, it should be fine!

the thing is, he doesnt know how to flash roms and this stuff, and he had the 4.2.2 stock, i flashed the 4.4.2 stock....but doesnt the rom contain a modem??

It does contain. But separately flashing modems and keeping the phone off just after the flash does magic at times.
Uncheck autoreboot while flashing via odin.
If you're flashing the recovery flashable modem, flash and then tun the phone off and pull the battery out.

ill check when i see him...thanks guys

Soft Bricked Galaxy S4 LTE while downgrading

Hello,I had this rom installed(https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-develop/rom-super-wizcyan-29-nov-15-t3259562) and since I'm kind of noob I tried to downgrade to this one ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2454205). I flashed it in TWRP recovery and when the phone finished and restarted i got into a bootloop( i think that's how it's called) - the samsung logo with the light from behind but that's it. I cannot open the TWRP recovery anymore,I cannot restore the stock firmware with KIES, I tried to restore 5.0.1 lollipop stock firmware through ODIN with and without PIT file and also 4.4.2 stock ( i did not find one for my country - Romania, I found one for Germany). Please help me with this issue..I will install any software and just leave it if it works..I just need my phone .. yep,desperate ..)
I'm sorry if I broken any rule by opening a new thread I'm just desperate to solve this issue..been working at it for almost 4 hours..
L.E. Odin says there is no partition when trying to flash the stock roms so i used this PIT file ( CSB_signed_Fusion3_EUR_0325_V2.pit)

Have you tried Smart Switch?

I don't really know what that is or how should I do it )

Problem fixed. I flashed from a different pc a complete stock rom(bootloader,pit file,csc and all of the other stuff) and it worked perfectly.
