[Q] problems with custom roms s4 l720 - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

phone: sprint sph-l720
Rooted: cf auto root
Unlocked: s4 unlocker
Problem: started after i flashed my first rom cm 11 through the installer from cynogen mod. I was un able to make calls with any sound or recieve any calls at all and could recieve texts but not send them.
Things that I have Tried: I have flashed cm 10.2, cm 12 from antares nightly, pac-rom, l720 od2 stock rooted rom 5.0.1 that has random black screen problem and the dialer keeps crashing. I have used cwm recovery and twrp from the antares thread.
my question: what is the common problem with my device that could be causing all of these same types of glitches? For this to happen across all the roms that iv flashed so far, and how can i fix it?
ps. problems occur in any number of combinations(depending on the rom) but seem to the be same basic issues ie: no audio, no wifi, cant receive texts, cant send texts or both, cant make calls or receive calls or calls made have no sound.(i am using gsm based movistar.cl network for sim) any help would be great ty.

Have you tried any touch-wiz custom roms? My phone HATES AOKP/SP/CM dialer.apk's. It just doesn't work, plain and simple. You may be screwed forever so long as you have your current motherboard. I have tried everytime a got a radio or bootloader update, and no dice. Same thing. Happens exactly like your problem. That same motherboard just bit the dust out of the blue. Maybe the failure is related to the intolerance to the CM-family of ROMs? I don't know. I have a new one I'm just trying to remember how to root again. I will let you know if the new motherboard likes CM-based ROM's or if I'm still stuck with touch-wiz.

i have almost the same problem
I am experiencing the same problem. I can receive text and sent text messages but I can't receive calls. I can make calls but I Can not drop the call. even if I press the end, I just got stuck up on hanging up screen. then it just keeps calling. can anybody here help me how to fix this????
I am using sprint Samsung L720.

What ROMs and carriers have you been using? AFAIK, most if not all AOSP-based ROMs does not cater to GSM carriers out of the box - you need to replace some RIL lib files for the problems to disappear, but then it won't work with CDMA carriers. I have the libs for CM12.1 but not other ROMs...

This is why I always modify the stock ROM slightly or find a ROM that is slightly modified because of ISSUES ISSUES ISSUES! I understand that these people really do put a lot of time and effort into these ROM's but most of the time they have too many bugs. I am using the stock OH1 (5.01) ROM with root, hotspot hack, font changer and a icon changer and it works great!

I'll only be able to pull off the trick for ROMs that have both a CDMA version (for Sprint variant) and a GSM version (for ATT/TMo variant), so that I can compare the libs and pull out necessary ones for flashing. Also, I have only used CM12.1 to this moment.
I'll attach my fixes for CM12.1 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2927776 (check last page), but DO NOT flash these on any othet ROMs. This is just for when you want to try things out with CM12.1.

[Q] WiFi/Audio/Phone not working after installing custom Rom

Complete noob here but I finally Rooted my phone. I tested PAC Rom, CM 10.2, and then Carbon Rom and each time I get the same issues. My Wifi and Bluetooth don't work, doesn't even scan for signals or devices. I have no audio sound, nothing at all. I can't receive calls without it FC but I can make them, however, its difficult to do because the dialer seems to freeze up when dialing and calls will fade in and out. Each Rom seems to be the same. Cant seem to find any device specific info so if anyone can help I would appreciate it. Thank you
Incase anyone wants to know. The issue was because I was running 4.4 when I installed a Rom for 4.3. Just flashed factory settings for 4.3 and installed the rom after that. Works great now.

Data issue. H changes to G on wake
My problem is that whenever I wake my device, the data H symbol changes to a G 2-3 secs later. Browsing or using apps that require data is impossible and may take 5-10 mins + to display anything.
Network shows unknown.
> I've tried changing several basebands - currently back on XXUFNC4.
> Tried *#*#4636#*#* and setting data there
> Preferred Network Type in mobile networks is set to LTE preferred/3G.
> Set /data/property/presist.radio.eons.enabled to 'true'. Recommended on another forum for a LTE issue but tried all the same.
> Tried reflashing stock firmware and redoing root, recovery etc
> I have an unlimited data plan on U.K EE network
My phone is a new GTi9505 and came with stock 4.4.2 XXUFNC4, with a new sim card that gives ok data on another handset.
I'm currently using 4.4.4 Gpe with MIUI v6 experience launcher and data is fine but I 'only' have this issue with MIUI v5 4.x.xx Multilang [CM Base 4.4.4 M9], and yes this is the only firmware I would like to use and get along with.
Cannot post on the forum that provides this Rom due to post count, so if anyone can help i'd be extremely greatful.
Thanks

I don't have LTE from ee just standard unlimited 3g ( on my current Gpe rom it shows hc-dspa+ ). In all honesty your Rom is awesome so really want to get back to using that. Ive tried all your builds and the one and only issue is on wake H turns to G and data is terrible.

I really like this rom, very light, almost perfect, the only ones who encounter problems are

portuguese language is not there, it's all in English
I enabled root access that was disabled
and not like the appearance of the camera
everything else is perfect for me

good afternoon
Sorry, could not find these settings, Could explain again to me step by step please.
Finally wanted to flash my phone after 1 year.
Would like to know how should I get my phone to be updated to "latest firmware"?
This is because I root at 4.2.2, which is totally out of date.
Also how different is flashing this ROM against the HTC Desire days back when it was Froyo and Gingerbread?
I used to play around MIUI during then and flash almost weekly for their updates, but there are too many different terms now so I just wanted to make sure.
Thanks.

Flash latest firmware from sammobile. Com and http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/checker/ and flash with Odin , in regards to the flashing procedure it is the same. custom Recovery's have not changed much since 2010 only difference is there are now 3 options cwm,twrp and philz recovery.
I use twrp as it is still in development while cwm and philz are classed as finished.
remember a ?

Doesn't latest firmware comes with Knox?
Anyway, I've tried flashing to MIUI.EU without updating the firmware. It seems I cannot get my WiFi to work even after flashing the recommended Kernels. Do you think firmware/baseband is the issue?
I'm now running on PAC ROM and that too has issue with mobile data preferred network not sticking, it changes itself even after I set it with #*#*4636*#*#. Sometimes when I'm in an area without LTE, the mobile data goes off when my phone goes to sleep.
I googled and some said after 4.4.4 many had this problem, but seen none complaining in the PAC rom thread. Possibly firmware as well?
Thanks.

Which roms are stable in making the audio during calls work?

Hi
I was wondering if you have any suggestions on rom where the audio will work during calls.
I have tried stock nexus 5.0, 5.0.1, 4.4.4 and PA latest Alpha.
All of these continued to give me no audio during call.
Instead of keeping on trying roms randomly, I wanted to try something which is likely to work.
Somebody mentioned omni rom is working with audio during call, is this the general feeling?
I really like Lollipop interface and would love to have a lollipop rom if possible? Any other advice on why my audio during calls may not be working even with downgrading to 4.4.4?
Thanks
Edit: Tried OMni ROm Feb 13, 2015 Nightly; 3.4.0-perf-ge7e8c8f omnirom kernel; baseband M9615A-CEFWMAZM-2.0.1701.03
Please help because audio during calls is still not working!
Bump... plz help... I am trying my best i can with my basic skills and am looking out to the community for some guidance.
If you don't a get audio in calls on stock you have a defective device. A rom isn't going to make a difference
Sent from my Nexus 9 using XDA Free mobile app
This problem only started once lollipop build came out. And i believe it is a problem loads of people are facing... something to do wit google play... I doubt that it's a defective device issue. Also, there are times when the audio does work and audio almost always works if I put the device on speakerphone. I am puzzled though why it is not working with OMNI and stock 4.4.4... could it have something to do with radio or bootloader? Are these aspects changed when flashing from TWRP recovery?

A5_UL Eu single sim (and any compatible variants) Working ROM thread

Hi all.
I'm using CM12.1 5.1.1 from 20150429. Grarak unofficial ROM.
Any Cm12.1 based ROM newer than this has bugs making my phone unusable.
-long time detecting sim card, and long time getting a cellular connection once sim detected
-SMS not sending or receiving
-no calls incoming
Which basically make it a mini tablet ...
So far I've tried a pacman 5.0.3 ROM but found it sluggish.
Does anyone with this same model of phone have a workaround or a suggestion of a stable working 5.1 ROM?
Has anyone tried updating RUU with either success or failures to report?
I'm at a loss here and its a shame, this phone is good value for money and was working well up to this last cm12.1 build.
I really don't want to go back to 5.0, and I'm not sure any sense/stock ROM is better? Can you share positive experience on this matter?
Thanks to all devs who give their time to allow us to use and own our phones. I am grateful and in no way taking any of this for granted.
Without you we'd all have locked phones and no freedom.
And peace to all, above and beyond ALL the rest!
Stock with xposed & some mods like Nitro X spark works fine for me, as there is no good ROM for our phone .. the bugs makes the phone unusable with custom roms :/
And you don't have issues with disk space etc? Stock 5.0, 5.1 or 4.4 ?

What ROM to get? (cant find a one without problems) I9505

Hi
I have international S4 (i9505) and I have tried various roms and every time I end up with some kind of problem, I used one on 4.4.2 and it had connectivity issues, then I tried 1 on 5.0.1 and it started rebooting every few hours, then installed one named optimized cyanogen 12.1 and it says bluetooth crashed over and over.
So the question is can anyone recommend a rome without any of those problems? and dont do anything special on my phone, mostly whatsapp, some online games and music nothing more, but want bluetooth and everything to work.
Ay help?
Thanks
If you don't want to deal with problems, go back to stock and root that.
Even stock has problems.
You should understand that each phone is different, even if it's the same model. Meaning that even if somebody suggest a rom that works perfectly for that person, it might not work for you.
With this in mind I can suggest to you the rom I've been running for a few months and works great for me: Resurrection Remix with alucard kernel.
And if you don't want whatsapp audio issues, go into developer options and enable AwesomePlayer.
one question, what does the kernel affect in the ROMs stability?
right now I´m on Cianogen and it hasnt shown problem, for now at least

Hi @totopesce,
I'm currently using the latest version of a ROM called Dirty Unicorns. I've had little to no issues with it. It's AOSP based, it's nice and light and very customizable.
It's trail and error with custom ROMS really. I was hoping from ROM to ROM for a long time before I eventually settled on Dirty Unicorns. It's your own taste at the end of the day.
Good luck with the search!
Steve
