Hello. There have been a lot of problems with my S4 and it looks like now it might be useless. I need to try a carrier reset, but I can't get a sense rom to work.
I'm using Freedompop (which is horrible, but I can't find a permanent job). It uses Sprint's network. When I got the phone, it was "refurbished" with a burned-in screen. Other than that, it worked. After three or so days, it downloaded an update that was supposed to fix Stagefright vulnerability. I checked it out and it looked legitimate, but I still didn't install it. Two or three days later, I saw that it was installing itself. When it rebooted, it got screen hang. It wouldn't do anything. I rebooted it a few more times, but it was still not working. The phone had TeamWin Recovery Project installed, so I selected the options to try to repair it and I ended up wiping the OS and installing OctOS. The phone worked after that. OctOS had some issues with crashing Trebuchet, but it worked.
Freedompop claims to give 500 MB of data free and claims that their messaging app does not count against it. Well, they don't and it does. I got to 422 MB and they cut me off because I made it past 422 MB. I checked my phone data usage and it added up including the Messaging app data usage. I called Freedompop and the representative told me right away that the data had an early cap and he was going to restore my service. All I had to do is not use the "browser" (data). I never got that data back. The billing cycle passed and I didn't get my service reset. I called again and the rep was messing with me until I finally got her to stop. When she did, she said that the service was fine on their end and it's probably my phone. I didn't believe her because she was messing with me and I called again. The next rep told me that he reset the service too and that because it didn't work when the first one did it, I should try a carrier reset from the phone. I didn't see the option so I called another day and I eventually got an MSL code. The problem with that is that it doesn't work without a sense rom.
I decided to install a sense rom to use the MSL code, but they wouldn't install. When I finally got one to install, the screen was hanging again. I think somehow the part of the sense rom bootloader got damaged and I don't know what it is or how to fix it. I reinstalled OctOS again and I've just been using it through Wi-Fi for now, but I need to be able to fix carrier reset problems so I can switch carriers and keep the phone once I get a job.
The short story:
I need to do a carrier reset through custom OS or install a sense rom that doesn't hang but the Samsung Galaxy S4 has sense rom hanging issues. I have TeamWin Recovery Project installed on the phone. It came in that way.
Please help. Thank you.

Ah, OK. I've wiped the internal SD and, after that, some of the roms had trouble installing. I had to wipe the phone a few times just to get one installation. I tried to use Odin the first time I got the screen hang and it read the phone. After the carrier problem, I tried it again and it wouldn't read it anymore. I've tried it with the stock OS, OctOS, and cyanogenmod and also no OS and it didn't read it at any time after my data got cut off. I only got one of the stock OS that I downloaded to actually install. I made sure they were all the Sprint ones, but just that one worked.

At that point you dial ##72786# in the Phone app and that does the carrier reset, but that's only on the stock ROM.

That's the problem. The phone doesn't seem to get stock ROMs to work anymore. I've gotten one to install, but it hangs which was the initial phone problem and why I switched to OctOS. I need to either be able to get a ROM that will get past the bootloading screen or a way to do carrier resets with custom ROMS.

L720VPUGOD2. The version should be the same. I didn't update anything on top of installing the ROMs. It worked when I when I ran Odin after the first OctOS 5.1.1 installation.

just trying to eliminate any possibilities for what's causing the problem.
I know. I think the screen hang problem is connected to the main cause of everything, but I have no idea what it is. I could try out some more ROMs for Lollipop. Where can I find some that can use codes like factory stock ROMs?

I tried to install Triforce ROM and I stumbled across this when it didn't work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43683835&postcount=1204
Apparently, that could have fixed the screen hang problem back when my phone was being read by Odin. This stings. If I can get the phone to be read, I could check this out, but I'm stuck again.

That is a very old ROM and the fix most likely won't work either. Try flashing something more recent like Wicked X.

TriForce worked for the carrier reset. It just looks tacky and Wi-Fi doesn't work on it. I want to fix the bootloader issue so I can get to a stock ROM.
Wicked X didn't do the carrier reset. It reset itself instead and booted to TWRP.
I installed Wicked X after TriForce, so I'm going to re-install TriForce, do the carrier reset, and see if it carries over to OctOS.

So I just installed the Google Edition rom on my Sprint GS4, and the actual install process went smooth, but as soon as the boot process is complete, the phone slows to a crawl and something to the like of "the process com.android.core has stopped responding" and then I get a force close button that I can not push. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this issue on the Sprint variant of the GS4 and if anyone has had a workaround with the issue. I have flashed back to stock rom currently, but I can reinstall the rom (like I'm going to do anyways later tonight). I used the rom located here.

Make sure your wiping system in refovery before flashing. Need to wipe cache, system, and data, and preload at times but doesnt hurt to wipe it anyways. Wipe everyrhing 2x then flash the rom.

Thanks! That worked! Good learning experience too. Kind of my first time flashing a rom to any phone, (I had a motorola photon before this phone, and i was satisfied with stock rooted on that phone, not so much with the gs4).

not a problem man, anytime you go from a aosp based rom to tw or vice versa always do thos steps.
anyone know how to get rid of the voicemail notification on GE
I've flashed 3-4 different ROMs at different times over the last 5 days trying to get to stock NAE w/MF9 bootloader & it all started with not able to get Wifi on SAT after the first flash while running CM10.2.1. That issue seems to have resolved itself . . . after getting an MF9 stock restore flash via Odin . . . but only after immediately installing Philz recovery via Odin, wiping Data before it would even boot.
I have wiped from every recovery (except stock): Philz/CWM/TWRP. I'm completely at a loss on how to move forward or resolve this issue.
How do I get SMS/MMS working again? I can send from the stock messaging app, but not receive.
I'm FAIRLY POSITIVE I was on MF9 bootloader before trying to upgrade. Once I flashed the NAE modem, this all started. (checking screenshots)
Any help or feedback appreciated!
If I had a Knox enabled bootloader, would this show Knox warranty bit?

If you are on MF9 bootlaoder I would sat to Odin MF9 once again. Keep it stock. And update profile and prl then reboot. If that doesn't work go to the dialer and put ##72786#. Be sure to be connected to WiFi for this part.

This is from a FRESH Odin MF9 stock unrooted flash. I did run the profile/prl already. I have not tried the dialer code.
Ok, I just did that ##72786#, it rebooted twice after running the hands free activation. Still not receiving texts. I want to reflash this & use the stock recovery wipe. That's going to have to wait until I get home though. :\
Its suppose to reboot twice. If non of this works I have a feeling it might be your network that is having problems in your area and would advise you to call Sprint.

Ok, I've flashed again, immediately did a factory reset/data wipe. I've removed my SDCard before the wipe/flash. Something is lingering that is ****ing me up. What is the absolute most complete data wipe/start fresh method? I've flashed the MF9 stock full restore & well . . . it's not working.
Odin MF9. After its done boot into recovery and perform a factory reset. Doing this in stock recovery wipes the whole internal memory.

I have Odin MF9'd stock unrooted repeatedly & I have immediately booted into stock recovery & factory reset. I've even Odin'd MF9, flashed Philz, wiped everything shy of clicking "prepare for new ROM". That is how I'm here. I've even Odin'd the MF9 All In One (modem/bootloader/etc).
One last thought I had was I likely had flashed the MK2 modem ONLY (not bootloader). Is there going back/forth between modems?
This all started because I Odin'd the NAE modem only . . .
Flashing MK2 modem just made wifi stop working again. :\
I would say you stay on mf9,

Reflashed MF9. Wipe before, Odin MF9, wipe after. No luck.
Just flashed MDC stock (no data wipe vers), wiped before/after, *STILL* no texts.
This is seriously getting ridiculous. RIDICULOUS!

Yeah. I think that just about where I'm at, but I just remembered that I have a friend that works really close with a Samsung remanufacturer who has worked on my buddy's Nexus/Notes.
IF THAT DOESN'T WORK, headed to Sprint.
So I went to the Sprint store. I had taken some OTAs to see if going that route might help. It didn't. Now I've got Knox.
The problem: somehow Google Voice integration was affecting texts? Once Google Voice was unintegrated/reintegrated, I was able to get SMS/MMS via stock app or GoSMS.

Thanks for the lead to here to solve my same problem. What did you do to "unintegrated/reomtegrated". I mean what was the process that you went through to get this working again. I use Dragon Assistant for voice responses to incoming messages and now that you mention Google Voice I did try to have that do instead of Dragon but gave up.............but not sure how to reverse this.....did what I could be still in the Message Dark.

Google Voice does not have to do with reading out the messages. At least I don't believe so. I think that's Google Now.
Google Voice is VoIP/SMS app. Where you can get your own phone number from them to make/receive calls/texts. Some how, my SMS issue was related to it being integrated with my Sprint number.
Yes. I have been using that for a long time and not Sprint for messages. So whatever went South soi will cancel and return to Sprint. After you restored messages did you return to Google?

Yes. Just unintegrate it, test that you're now getting text messages. then reintegrate it. It might take a few mins to reintegrate it (mine was about 25 mins before we noticed it worked again). All your texts/vms will still be there.
Yea! I am back getting SMS. Changed from Google to a different app for voice message that I used b4 Google. Also just flashed an updated LiquidSmooth v04_06 & PoKernal v07. I think your solution was the answer. Fought the loss of SMS for several days.

Just today, my rooted Galaxy S4 was working perfectly. At about 9 AM I downloaded Liveboot (same person who made SuperSU) After downloading and configuring it, I restarted my phone and it worked. Until... after I tried to turn my wifi on. This is where my problems started. I can't start my wifi... it just turns light yellow forever with the menu forever saying "Wifi turning on." I tried to reopen liveboot, to it forever displaying a "loading screen" for which I soon figured out why. In my root explorer, MANY system files are unopenable, stating they were last modified in 1970, some in 1969. This has caused it so all of my root access is gone. It's on the phone but the apps can't access it because the files can't be opened. They display no error message, when I try to open them nothing happens.
I have tried:
Taking battery out
Hard reboot
Restart
Deleting a wifi file in the data folder but I can't open the data folders
Reinstalling root
I do not want to do a factory reset as I believe it will not fix it as others with the wifi problem have said.
TL;DR I downloaded a boot app, wifi is broken and files are too.
I have never flashed and I'm unsure how to do it, I'm quite tech savvy but I'm afraid to ruin my phone.
Update, I factory reset my phone.
Didn't do anything other than clear my root so I could "possibly" get a new phone from the warranty that expires in 2 and a half months. Does anyone know how to fix the wifi issue?
Anyone have a fix? I'm probably going to use my warranty but It would be great to fix it to saver time

Are you just rooted or do you have safestrap or a custom recovery installed?
You might have to odin back to stock to get everything working again.
I would say Odin to stock and start from scratch. If your safe strapped or a m variant you get slightly different issues or problems.
If you warranty it you'll probably be safe strapped.

If you were running a Google Edition ROM, you need to do a soft reboot or hot reboot to get WiFi working. I know sometimes I have issues with the flashable SuperSU, so if you're not getting root prompts, try just reinstalling it from the market. And check your time and date settings to make sure they're set to network or at least manually set them. I've had all those happen after my phone does a hard shutdown, but if none of those work then flashing stock and reinstalling is your best bet.
Could you send me a tutorial to flash with Odin? I've never done it before. If it requires root I literally can't root my phone because the root "files" are in the corrupted folders that can't be opened, which is what's happening with the wifi.
Edit: never mind I found a good tutorial. I'll do it when I get home.

(Just in case anyone needed it, I haven't seen many people with this problem and would hopefully like to help anyone who does to get a new phone)
After all this hassle...
My wifi still doesn't work. The only upside is I can return my phone without worry.
Doing this has set me phone to version 4.3 instead of 4.4.2, but now when I try to turn my phones wifi on, it says this:

Upon clicking this, it opens a small window displaying the following

Reboot now, Reboot Later
After this, I went into my settings and screwed around with the "Security" settings for a tiny bit before giving up, then going into recovery mode and clearing the cache, just in case.
I think it's time for a warrenty if nobody can help.
I don't really know if I'm much help, but I can confirm that I was on hyperdrive rom rl20 and so far I've run into a whack of issues... let me explain.
First off I'm a Koodo client, and I have the sgh-i337m Rooted with cf-autoroot and twrp installed because bootload is unlocked.
I was running hyperdrive rl20, and my wifi wouldn't work and neither would my service, after extensive reading I concluded the only way to make this rom work was to download the modules package for at&t listed in one of the hyperdrive forums, now I've done so and everything ran great except the missing features that the rom offered but not available on the device itself because hardware didn't permit it. So my wifi and network issues were solved.
Since then the L update for Koodo had been released, and i flashed back to stock to my dismay, my wifi didn't work back with the stock rom now, I'm convinced the module flash had something to do with it. I'm not that savvy when it comes to figuring out what modules are, I've tried to unzip the modules package I've downloaded and since I'm unaware of what blocks are mounted where I don't know what part of the packages need to be flashed separately. I've wipe the device 3x in one recovery session, I mean everything besides the OTG (nothing connected) and the external SD. I then rebooted and wiped everything rebooted wiped everything and rebooted and wiped everything and rebooted and then installed the update with Samsung Switch because Kies and Kies3 wouldn't work for device recovery. I fist went to 4.4.2 released the same day as the L update, and then flashed again just to make sure, then I did the update not OTA but I put the device back in recovery mode and flashed again with Samsung Switch to the 5.x.x update, now I have service but the wifi still no working. I'm starting to lose my mind. All was well before I flashed the modules for AT&T in that thread. If I somehow new how to extract the modules or what modules were needed maybe I could be more of assistance.
But right now I'm up that creek, resembles brown stuff that comes when your stomach doesn't feel to well, and with out a paddle.
I can't return mine for warranty I don't think because my knox bit is triggered. I don't know what I'm going to do. But there has to be a fix. I refuse to believe that a module flash screwed my phone up and I can't flash back to whatever the issues was or flash over to fix it. I just refuse, so help me Odin and Thor I will summon the furry of so many Norse gods, the grounds will shake and unleash a force like no other. lol ... Sorry it's like 5am where I am and I'm watching the last episode of Vikings

He explained to me how to rip the modules out of a rom and I did out of the rom I was running before HyperDrive RL20 and I just flashed those modules back and viola .... I was able to flash right up to 5.0.1 ... thats what I'm running now with out any issues accept obviously I lost root, so thats what I'm in the process of doing now probably just CF-AutoRoot because I could careless about knox trigger at this point the phones out of warranty anyway, I usually wait until about 9 to 10 months in to purchase of the phone and then kind of stop caring about it and get a new one while warranty still applicable. So I'm on my new one. Thanks for the help anyway.

Hey everyone. I've got a problem with my phone, that it will randomly disconnect / connect to the network in a completely random fashion.
This started happening about 3 weeks ago, but it wasn't real bad. Normally after a restart, or two if would solve the problem, but then it seemed to just get worse. Now, sometimes it only takes one restart, but other times, I have to wait several hours before it will connect again.
When it does connect, it sometimes will stay connected for a few minutes up to several hours.
Here is what I have tried:
I have removed the battery several times, even left it out overnight... That did nothing.
I have done a couple factory resets, which did not help.
I have updated my PRL and Profile, which has done nothing.
I have done a SCRTN Reset, and that didn't help.
That's all that I can think of that I did. I do have a system update downloaded, that I'm hesitant to install. Last time I tried, it took a long time to boot, and when it got past the Sprint boot logo, it gave a black screen, with message boxes that said "Unfortunately Settings has stopped". If I tapped 'OK', it would give another message box, that something else had stopped. This went on for a little while.
One last thing, is that when I don't have service, it will say:
Mobile State: Disconnected
Baseband Version: Unknown
Imei: Unknown
Also, my phone has been rooted for months, so it wasn't from the rooting process.
Here are my device specs:
Rooted
Samsung Galaxy S4 Sprint
SPH-L720
Lollipop 5.0.1
Build Version: LRX22C.L720VPUGOHI
That's all the information I can think of. If anyone can help me out here, that'd be awesome!
Thanks.

Have you tried Odining the stock ROM from www.sammobile.com?

No I didn't. I probably should have, but I haven't had an Internet connection I could download a large file on.
@Qwertyhnjikl:
What provider are you using?
I'm with Ting, and started to experience random Data drops too. Toggle Airplane mode does solve it for me, rather than a full reboot. But it seems like it is happening more often the past few day. It started just before Christmas for me.
Have been on rooted L720_OD2 - 5.0.1 since about September without any problems, up until now.
I went ahead a re-flashed OD2 modem in Odin, but it did not solve it.
Another thing I noticed, there is an option missing under Settings>More, right after "Activate this Device" and before "About Device". It should be "Update Profile", I think...
Sorry for the late reply. I didn't have wifi. I'm currently on sprint.
Oddly enough for me, when I turn on airplane mode, the option to turn it off is greyed out.
I'm currently downloading a new 5.0.1 rom... Let's hope it fixes the problem.
I'll let you all know the results.
I went ahead and flashed in Odin the latest OK1 from Sammobile. Did not wipe data, had to re-root and install TWRP. My connectivity issues are gone, for now. Do not see any improvements, as far as the ROM goes, but it works.
One thing I did notice, that there is a 2 GB cache partition, that is barely used (maybe 10 MB).
However, I'm still missing the Update Profile/PRL option in Settings....

Hey guys,
I had a weird issue that never got answered. I upgraded to Nougat via Odin and it, for some strange reason, tripped my knox and kept on getting stuck on the samsung logo whenever I tried to boot it.
I flashed back to the stock firmware from SamMobile via Odin, yet my phone still gets stuck on the Samsung logo. First attempt it will get to Samsung, it'll start flashing as normal, then it'll freeze. Reboot, Samsung logo appears but gets to Samsu, then freezes. I can keep rebooting but it will gradually display less and less of the Samsung logo until it sticks on the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge screen.
I've tried absolutely everything I can think of, factory reset, clear cache, even went as far as installing the TWRP and tried to install it through ADB, though that wouldn't work because ADB wouldn't start.
I'm sick of using my J3 and want my S7 edge back to a normal working condition. I'm half tempted to buy a new motherboard and put that in because no matter what I do, I can't get the phone to work.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah I've tried that on my Mac but for some reason it says it can't connect to the device. I am running Windows through parallels, so I might try downloading smartswitch on there and try it through windows instead.

Is your warranty void on 0x1? If its already tripped try flashing Twrp and clear data from there, i saw a lot of people doing this as a fix. If it's still on 0x0 then try to flash another firmware, last one available.

Unfortunately it is in the UK, even though I flashed the official firmware through odin it tripped it for some reason. I've tried using TWRP to clear dalvik cache and normal cache. I've even gone as far as changing the file system to ext3 and back to ext4 to completely wipe everything and done a fresh install. I'm starting to think about just buying a new motherboard and installing that because nothing seems to be working any more.
I had it working on a custom rom until the battery got down to about 70% and then it would crash and wouldn't respond to anything, like the volume down and power reset, until the battery had completely died and I'd charged it fully again.
