After installing CyanogenMod 11 my phone worked great. Had better battery life. Performed faster. But then I wanted lollipop so I installed the Google play ROM since the bell s4 ROM wasn't out yet then finally went to liquidsmooth where I started encountering video playback problems on online content but all other sound worked fine. I tried going back to the stock ram then the USB cord broke halfway through and put my phone into a weird recovery mode that said use kies. Finally I put it into download mode and flashed it with another USB. I never tested audio but the WiFi wouldn't turn on so I tried flashing modem files only for it not to work. Finally I went back to CyanogenMod 11 but the dialer crashes when I try to call. The music crashes when I try to play it. YouTube videos won't load nor will Facebook. My phone is a mess.
(BTW my phone had a little android dude on the ground with his stomach open and a little red triangle with an exclamation mark in it when booted into recovery. Idk if that means anything)
Please help, how do I fix my phone?
Do you ever wipe before flashing?

Hi,
After getting my Samsung Epic 4G last year, I had rooted, wiped and installed Epic Experience - Version 1.2.09 [11/22] - Eclair (DI18). All was well !!
Yesterday I decided to try Epic Experience - Version 2.0.08 [03/05] - Froyo (EB13) and followed the necessary steps to change file system. I used Odin with CWD3 to do this. After installation I noticed that the youtube app would open and display videos but none of the youtube videos would play (kept getting a "this video cannot be played, touch to retry" error for any video that I tried to play. It worked fine on wifi but not on 3G. I then noticed that the Bluetooth would not turn on. Everytime I clicked on it, it would say turning on and go back to the off status after about 15 seconds.
Confused I decided to go back to wipe, go back to stock with Odin and go back to Android 2.1 - i.e. Epic Experience - Version 1.2.09 - here also faced the same issues with Bluetooth and youtube.
Went back to stock through Odin and everything is working fabulously.
Tried Epic Experience Roms v1 and v2, tried Nebula roms, tried Syndicate Rom, and finally tried Viper Rom v2 with the correct procedure and wiping between each. Noticed that with ANY custom rom I cannot get Youtube videos to play or Bluetooth to turn on. It works absolutely fine with stock Sprint Rom ONLY.
Even formatted the SD Card.
Does anyone have any suggestions ?? I am at my wits end.
Could this be linked to rooting to CWD3 ??

So here's my story of what's going on and hopefully a solution can come out of it.
Got my phone used it for a bit. I used the root and debloat found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2282367 and everything went fine. Waited a day or so and decided to flash LiquidSmooth ROM with KToonzes 7.2.13 . Again everything working fine. I then flashed 7.7.13 Ktoonzes and lost bluetooth functionality as far as the phone is concerned but the music portion is fine. My brother convinced me that the Google Edition ROM is where its at and I was having that bluetooth issue so why not. I flashed the AOSP Ktoonzes instead of the TW so my phone bricked. I did the ODIN back to stock with: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261573&highlight=odin . When that went through and my phone was doing its set up, my wifi wasn't turning on. I continued by using the root and debloat again to reinstall the recovery. I recovered my phone to right before I flashed the Google Edition, and my bluetooth is not even finding my car in pairing mode at all at this point.
Thanks for reading and thanks in advance for any recommendations to fix this issue.
I wanted to upgrade my firmware for my i9505. It was rooted so I went back to a stock firmware I had used a month or so ago. Xxuamdm. It went perfectly fine and after rebooting I set about upgrading the software. The first upgrade was nearly 400mb. This downloaded and then installed OK. The next one was about 50mb and the same happened again. Then there was a third one - about 50mb again - except when my phone rebooted it got stuck on the loading screen. I tried to reboot several times but I couldn't get past the Samsung loading screen. Eventually I decided to reflash the stock I had before using Odin again but this time when I went to update the firmware I couldn't turn my WiFi on and also I noticed my sound had stopped working. This is for calls notifications music YouTube everything. I have then tried to update via kies and still I get the same problem. I went to Sammobile and downloaded the most up to date firmware for my device and still no sound or wifi. I then tried a Google ROM I had flashed previously and the WiFi was able to turn on again but still I have no sound. All I want is the latest stock firmware and if I can then root it afterwards that would be a bonus.
I have searched for answers but I can only find two threads - both of which have not offered a solution to my particular issue.
Thanks
Sorry if I have posted in the wrong area but does anyone have any ideas on this? I have managed to flash several different custom roms today - Foxhound, Google Edition, Echoe - each of these has working wifi however none of them have fixed the no sound issue. When I call my phone it I hear ringing from one end but my phone does not even show someone is calling for a good 30 seconds - and I cannot hear anything when I pick up. Once I hang up my phone still thinks I am on a call and wont disconnect for a good 30 seconds.
When I get home later I am going to try and flash the following stock firmwares using Odin:
I9505XXUDMH8_I9505OXXDMHA_BTU
I9505XXUBMGA_I9505OXXBMG3_BTU
Is this a good idea or am I wasting my time and need to do something else?
I desperately need someones help on this - my only other option is to get a new phone and I really cannot afford to do that.
Hi
So i bought a used Samsung Galaxy GT i9505, the seller said that it just had some boot freezing sometimes. So i thought it would be a easy fix with just install a costume rom and wipe data/ cache and stuff like that.
But now that i have got it i I'm not able to fix the problems that he did not mention.
1. The sound does not work at all, Only time it will make a sound is on the official rom when it plays the boot sound.
2. Crashes a lot of gapps and always crash Google+ for some reason. This is something that happens to every rom i have tested. Like slimkat, cm 10.2 and official 4.4.2
3. Crashes almost every time i just click the volume buttons. (The phone recognize headphone totally fine)
4. (only on official rom) youtube videos lagg like crazy, even at 144p. have not tested other video files.
5. Sometimes when booted it just restarts and just stays there for ever.
6. CPU heats way to fast in my opinion.
If you got any suggestions please let me know.
I have the Razr M, running stock 4.4.2 and have been having problems after an attempted flash.
So I managed to root the phone and then installed CWM Recovery 6.0.4.9. After this far in I presume I was rushing because I must have downloaded the wrong version of Cyanogenmod or something along those lines because after the flash my phone was almost bricked due to a low battery and no nandroid. I continued to mess around with it for a few more days until I managed to get back to stock 4.4.2.
Right away when I was back on stock I realized my phone had no audio capabilities at all, even when using an aux cord. Almost, for example, like the drivers on a pc were missing. Just nothing. Not long after I also noticed that any video function didn't work. Any sort of video in Snapchat/Youtube/Twitter/Facebook/ect won't work. Along with the video not playing, I cannot record videos either.
I have already re flashed the stock 4.4.2 zip (downloaded from Motorola's website) many times all ending in failed attempts to solve the audio/video troubles.
So there is my problem. Anyone have any ideas?
Anyone have any solution? Any idea at all? I have rooted a Droid Incredible before and rooted/flashed cyanogenmod onto another Razr Max also so I have a good idea of what is going on.
