Hello,
All sounds on my galaxy s4 (gt-i9505) suddenly stopped. I dont hear any sound (buttons, mp3s,....).. The only sound I hear is sometimes within boot animation, when a booting reaches system, audio is gone. I tried many roms, many basebands, many experiments even stock roms, but nothing helped, but I noticed that audio works IN SAFE MODE!!!! So if there is BASEBAND UNKNOWN = AUDIO WORKS!!! But why? I tried many basebands/modems, but it wasn't helpful.
I flashed with Odin 3.10.6, CWM 6.0.4.4 (I cant get into another recovery after VolumeUP, so I MUST use this recovery.. I dont know why...), then I tried Omega ROM v40, v41; Phoenix ROM; GPE; some stock roms for my and other countries, but nothing helped.. Sound only in SAFE MODE, so I guess its not HW issue.
Last working configuration was on Omega ROM v40, but there have started troubles with sound..
PS: Yes, I tried a trick with headphones, that says you have to insert and pull out a jack many times and clear the hole .... didnt worked in my case.
I read many topics, but to most people helped returning to stock rom, however not in my case again...
Please help me..
thanks
I am also in the same boat as you. At the moment, I am using the S4 i9505 with Slim Rom and Open Gapps.
A while ago, I flashed TWRP and some how that fixed it for a while! But then the problem came back which is quite unfortunate. Since the phone is now mine (it was my sisters) I really want to fix this bad boy and use it (I use Xperia SP if you haven't noticed )
One question, you talked about SAFE MODE? Where can we find that? Remember, I have the same problem as you.
If I find a solution, I will PM and post here on what I did
Cheers!

Hello everyone, a while back I bought an LG Optimus L7 P705 and was not satisfied with the performance, so after a while of putting it off, I installed CM 10 Nightly today, however, there are two issues that I can't find a fix for:
1. Headphones: A lot of people have complained about some headphones not being recognized, or some headphones not working, well this is not completely my case. My headphones do get recognized, I can tell because when I put them in while a song is playing, the volume changes, and when I take them out, it pauses. But all the sound comes from the speakers, so sound comes out of the headphones, I have tried multiple headphones.
TL;DR: Headphones are recognized but do not emit any audio
2. No signal: No matter what I do, there is no signal
I have tried: Wiping both caches multiple times, rebooting many times, and reinstalling twice.
You should probably know that before this, I flashed the V20A firmware.
I know there are other ways to improve my phone's performance, but I do not want to continue to use LG's custom UI, it uses up too much CPU/Battery and it doesn't even look that great, I also really want to get CM working, I like that ROM.
Any fixes/advice/ways to fix either issue would be highly appreciated.
EDIT: RESOLVED. If you want this topic and you want to know how I fixed the issue, check the posts.

The v20 baseband does not seem to work with CM10. For me, flashing the v10 baseband from this post (first link) fixed it.

I read somewhere that this MIGHT be the problem, although it worked for other people, so I attempted to flash V10K, but it gave me an error. Will post a screenshot of that error in a few.
Well, I can't post the screenshot, but this is the error: Upgrade error Wparam:100 Lparam:6, I tried looking up the error but all search results linked me to bricked phones, my phone is not bricked.
Edit: Thank you so much man, I downloaded the file you told me to and installed it as a ROM from Clockworkmod, worked like a charm and fixed both issues I cannot thank you enough
hi
i've serious problems with my galaxy s4 i9505. I rooted my phone and after that i've installed clockwork recovery. i've installed some roms and every thing worked fine. but 3 days ago, the phone started to boot randomly. after that the camera app doesn't work anymore (it hangs on black screen). And the sound doesn't work anymore too (on earphones too). if i open an app with sound then the app hangs/freezes. if i push the volume buttons i've the same problems. so i tried to flash different roms (of course i did wipe cache, dalvik, data factory reset) - but always the same problem. i did a backup before flashing any rom - so i've also tried to restore the backup, but the problems remain.
can anyone help me?
looks like we have same problem...
Sounds on my Galaxy S4 aren't working either and so do cam app... I've also tried to switch between MusicFX and BeatsAdudio (after the problem with soud begun) but with no help at all.
You guys might try to flash back to a stock rom with (Mobile) Odin to see if that solves the issue (probably will). Use Triangle Away first to reset the binary flash counter. And data factory reset after the flash. Or first try reflashing the custom rom you`re on with a full wipe without the sound mod.
hi
nothing did help. So I guess it's a hardware issue. finally I reset flash/binary counter with triangle away, then flash stock rom (of course did full wipe) then unroot. Now I try to send the phone back and claim guarantee.
Same problem
Got the same problem here.
At first at reboot the sound would occasionally come back but would be gone after a screenlock.
Also when starting up the phone would hang during startup.
Went back to unrooted and stock firmware of july 2013.
Now no sound whatsoever.
Need to send it for repair... gonna be without a phone for three weeks.
Actually the phone seems to behaves like there is a headset connected while there is not (no headset logo either).

I sent it to samsung. they replied that they don't what the problem is - so the didn't repair anything.
So i really don't no what to do - a mobile with no mic, front & back speaker and no workin earphones is worthless ;(((
does any one have some ideas what to do?
could it be a software issue, because in my opinion it's strange, that mic, front & back speaker and earphones doen't work - i mean these are separate hardware components... the only connection thing on hw side is the motherboard. so i could imagine it's a sw problem. but i tried different roms, set back root and went back to stock rom.... but no change.
PS: sorry for bad english...
hi all, sorry for bumping up this thread. has anyone found a solution for this? I have the same problem with my S4.

Thanks! Yes, I saw your thread after I posted here and tried your solution. Everything is back to normal now :good:
Hello, I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505) and I'm having a couple problems with it.
First the phone freezes when its turned on it using Official software or a Touchwiz rom but doesn't happen with other Roms so I'm not very bothered about that.
Secondly there is no sound coming from the device, the only sound that comes off is the booting sound when using touchwiz, I've tryed with headphones and still nothing, and If I go to music and try to play a song the phone freezes until I press the home button, It also freezes when dialing or when any other sound should be coming of the device.
I've done a lot of factory resets and tried various roms but the problem stays.
And thirdly I have no signal on the device, when I put the sim card it just says no service, to be fair the sim card is a normal sim that has been cut to fit micro sim slot, becasue its what I use on my other phone and it works, I'll try with an actual micro sim when I have one available.
I don't know it these problems could be linked, that's why I'm putting them together. I have been searching online but I can't find anything similar.
Hope someone here can help me. Thanks a lot in advice!!
Can't get arorund this!
Ok, so I'm now looking at the sound problem now, seems like there is some people having this issue when the phone freezes when the phone should be playing sound.
I've looked at several threats here and for most people flashing I9505XXUDMH8_I9505OXXDMHA_I9505XXUDMH8_HOME.tar resolved the problem, so I tried it but still no sound.
So my I9505 is now on XXUDMH8, I rooted it again and installed a custom rom since the original firmware is not working very good.
Hope someone can help me!
Can anyone help?
OK so last night I tried flashing I9505XXUEMI8_I9505OXAEMI8_I9505XXUEMI8 and after I changed the kernel I got some sound when turning the volume up and down but the phone was running very slow.
Today I tried flashing Omega rom v15 flashing the right modem for the new bootloader before flashing the zip and no sound, I tried changing the kernel, still nothing.
So now I'm in build number XXUEMJ9 and baseband MJ5.
Please I've tried everything I can think of and I can't fix this, I need help! :crying:
Hi! I have a problem with my Samsung I9505. I have Omega v19 based on firmware XXUEML6 Android 4.3 and I decided to flash a stock firmware I9505XXUEMKF_I9505COAEMJ8_COA. Unfortunately I had some issues and I don't know why. Fortunately I had philz_touch_5.18.9-i9505.tar cwm and was able to flash Omega v19 back. Everything its working fine but the dial and the sound. I don't have any sound, meaning I can't hear anything, no music no ringtones, nothing. And the second problem its the dial. So in the main screen I touch the phone widget everything its working fine but when I try to call someone my screen goes all black and starts to flicker and nothing happens, only after aprox 10 SECONDS appears the dialing screen but I cant hear the other person and neither can he. I don't know if its soft bricked or bricked but please help someone. I told you besides this two problems everything works well and even cwm and download mode. PLEASE HELP!!!

Fortunately I resolved my problem. It was a bootloader problem. I tried to flash the new Omega v.22 kitkat4.4.2 but had the old bootloader. After flashing the new One the problem was resolved. Thank you for your help
So let's start cuz it's a big story. So i have a Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505, rooted, TRWP Custom Recovery, i had plenty ROM's on him, everytime the ROMS worked perfectly except the bugs they already had....
The last ROM i had was Optimized CM12.1 JDCTeam. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...lop/exclusive-antaresone-alucard24-s-t3066696) it worked fine....
One day, they made an update of the ROM. Everything worked fine, until a morning 2-3 days after i made the update.... my alarm clock started ringing (as it was meant to be ) but the screen wasn't turning on.
I restarted the phone...but the alarm was still ringing when the phone restarted then it restarted itself. After this self restart....the phone booted with those optimizations (like the cache was deleted.) After it booted...surprise. No sound. At all. No sound in media player, no sound from calls, no sound when recieveing calls, no sound from my mic too.Then i noticed that movies from Youtube and from my gallery were playing in slowmotion, or not playing at all.
I though it was the ROM ...so i installed other ROMs....no success....all the ROMs i've installed had the same problem. No sounds at all.
Then i found a ROM, that played the Boot animation sound but all the other sounds were still not working. So of course this means it can't be a hardware problem anymore.
So back from the start.
Then i found this ROM, an S6 port : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-develop/rom-albe95-s6-port-1-0-t3092479
This ROM specifies that i must install the latest lollipop bootloaders and modems for it to work. So i've installed the modems and the bootloader given in the ROM topic....then the ROM and surprize....the sounds were working again. But the new problem was that the SIM reading stopped working and the rom was unstable. I've tried other modems to no success for the SIM.
Other Lollipop and KK roms, thinking that the bootloader or the modem was the one that fixed the sounds, didn't work so i concluded is not the bootloader. And then i've installed this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-develop/rom-albe95-s6-port-1-0-t3092479 which at start it didn't played sounds. Then i've installed the bootloader from Albe95 S6 port post...and surprisingly sounds started to work on this ROM too. But from time to time the sounds dissapear..and i have to wait like some seconds to minutes for them to come back + the SIM still not working on this ROM . So somehow is the bootloader....but i dont get why it's working only on S6 ports..not even on MM ROM's is not working...
Can anyone help me ?
Edit : I forgot to mention that my partitions are F2FS....if this matters....

Thanks for the tip I've edited the post....it is better now ? or should i cut some paragraphs?
No, that's fine. I probably should have PMed that to you rather than post it, but it's a bit too late for that. Sorry.
Anyway, your symptoms, where it occurs erratically, could still be a hardware issue. However, I think it more likely that your internal storage "glitched", and that is causing your problems. Make sure you have a backup of your IMEI and EFS by using Wanam's EFS Backup tool. Then grab an I9505 PIT file, a stock ROM, and Odin. Use them to partition the internal storage (which will format it), and install the stock ROM. See if your sound issues are fixed throughout the ROM. If so, then replace the recovery with TWRP and install the ROM you prefer.
If it still happens even after going through this, then it's almost certainly a hardware issue.
