Don't leave me hanging - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone I know you all probably get fed up helping noobs out and I do apologize in advance but have no idea what to do. My daughter has had gt-i9505 for a year and a half now she had an update about a week ago that she did. And now the phone was having sound problems and seems very unstable not sure if update has anything to do with it. Looked around the net tried a few different things did nothing serious just cleaned headphone jack and wiped cache nothing seemed to work. Just to say the phone was on 5.0.1 Now she has wanted me to root and install philz touch recovery for a while now but didn't really want to incase something went wrong. So given that all these problems were happening I decided I would do it for her and It all went smoothly so then I put new rom on it for her and that seemed fine to but sound problem still there and still seems very unstable is there any suggestions you guys can think of to fix it, would be greatly appreciated CHEERS :good:

Try flashing back to a completely stock rom using Odin.
Stock ROMs can be downloaded from sammobile.com.

Your best bet is to odin restore, if issue still pertains, then you have a problem in hardware, if you don't want to restore, then root device flash twrp, and factory reset there, if you have further questions, Google rooting flashing and bootloaders.

Just to say thanks to you guys I think back to stock is the only way cheers

Hey everyone just to say i have flashed back to stock now but no change even tried to update and still no sound,I even found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2612167 and tried what they said and know go just notice now when i hit the volume control at all it crashes the phone. But if it was a hardware problem would it play music on the samsung logo screen on start up? any other idea of where to go from here would be great CHEERS AGAIN

Try a stock android based ROM.

Can i try an android based ROM from where i'm at now or do i have to root again?

The phone is running the latest stock rom? Was it factory reset before booting for the first time? Possible hardware issue?

Sorry just a question is Cyanogenmod an android based stock rom?

No its not running the latest stock rom i went back to 4.4.2 because the latest stock rom is where the problem seemed to start in the first place. And yes i did a wipe data/factory reset before restart.

Yup!You can try Viper4android, its a mod for audio and is really awesome.I'm pretty sure it can fix the issue
Here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223
It requires root.

Hey guys hypothetically if it was a hardware problem and i wanted to get it fixed is it hard to reset the knox counter?

Still no luck it seems to have gotten worse touch wiz has stopped and wifi won't turn on what the hell is happening?

I would try flashing the latest stock rom and perform a factory wipe before booting the rom for the first time.

OK now i get what your saying before it starts, but do you not have to let it boot up for Odin to say pass and turn green?

Open Odin, uncheck everything except f.reset time. Flash the rom, when you see the word reset in the status window, remove cable from the phone, remove battery, wait 5 seconds, insert battery, use button combination to boot into stock recovery, factory wipe, and reboot.

OK got it, I will try that hour of a download of sammobile.com thank you for your patience

Let us know how it goes. I suggested flashing a stock rom and wiping because, if it still doesn't work properly, it could be a hardware issue.
Good luck.

Your daughter seems to know more than the average one Either that or kids just grow up fast these days!
It's highly unlikely that a software update would interfere with the phone's sound imo. How was the update done, e.g. wifi?
Me thinks your problem is hardware related. Also, you mentioned something about downgrading from 5.0.1 to 4.4. This might have something to do with your sound woes.
And then, once root counter has been tripped, there is no way to un-flag it. I believe there might be a way "trick" the counter to show "zero" but I haven't personally ever bothered to try it out.
Personally, I think it's the phone's hardware :good:
Hope you didn't get too much conflicting answers.

No had my doubts about the update myself it was done over wifi I think she said it was one of the lollipop updates. Now regarding the downgrading from 5.0.1 the sound problem had already started on 5.0.1 only thing I done from that point forward was to root it an put philz recovery on it and then tried a custom rom to see if that would help which it did'nt sound prob still there, after that i was advised to try reverting back to stock then i downgraded to 4.4.2 stock to see if that would help no luck, just a question when i was rooting i was reading about triangle away does that not reset the counter?

[Q] Nexus 7 Sleep of Death

Hi, I got my Nexus 7 yesterday. Everytime I leave it in sleep mode for more than 10 minutes it shuts down and i need to hard reboot. I've read somewhere that its possibly Sleep of Death. I tried shutting wifi of during sleep, installed an auto airplane mode app, reset to factory settings about 5 times but nothing seems to help. I run stock rom, not rooted. Do you think i should return it or is there a possible sollution? Greatings
I'd return it

I'm the same build JRO03D and I can say that mine dies sometimes after I press the power button to turn the screen off.
I've noticed it happens when I'm reading a pdf book on adobe reader and when I turn my screen off it just doesn't turn on and I have to hold it so it resets and turns on.
Is this a bad build number? The one that ends with a D?

Are you guys using a custom rom, or stock? I am showing JRO03D (MoDaCo Custom Rom Jr7) and have no issues.. so either his rom fixed the issue of the build, or perhaps the update you received is bad?
I asked somewhere else the best way to go back to stock, a way that re-writes the partitions.. like flashing a RUU with HTC, or using Odin on Samsung.. but never got an answer. I would recommend you find a way to get back to stock firmware, then allow it to update again, or update it yourself- or get a custom rom..
And what hardware version are you on? Mine is C80.. no issues whatsoever.

I'm running the stock rom from google. I don't know what hardware version I'm on. Thanks for the replies so far!
If the device is otherwise perfect and free of any defects, I might take a stab at trying to fix it by wiping it and reflashing the stock Image. If you can't get it to work you can always return it then.

The first few letters on the sticker on the back of the tablet, at the bottom, will tell you the hardware version..
And you have a choice, if you just got it and can return it, it is unlikely you will have the issue with a new one.. if you can't, you may want to figure out how to flash a stock firmware, as I have a feeling the OTA update may have went wrong. Resetting your tablet(factory reset) just deletes your /data partition, the system partition is not rewritten.. so if there was something wrong with the update in the system files, that won't help.
I am pretty damn sure it is likely kernel related, yet another option to look into.. the nook color(I used to use) has that issue, so it is sad to hear anyone hear have that issue too.
If you are willing to root, you may want to try increasing the minimum clock speed just one step, or if you have undervolted(which I don't think you've said) you may want to raise the voltage or allow stock voltage, as that can also be the issue.

Is reflashing the stock rom the same as resetting it to factory settings?

I said in my last post, restoring to factory just deletes the /data partition, and leaves the /system files exactly the same. Reflashing actually overwrites the system files.
I get it occasionally but I'm running a CM nightly and Clemsyns elite kernel so I chalk it up to that.
I've flashed stock rom and several other roms, but it did not help so I've returned it for a new device, i have to wait 3 weeks for a new one . Thanks for the replies!

Bootloader Loop problem

Hi, my phone acted weird today, been running custom room for over couple months without any problem, but then when i resart my phone today it got to the bootload screen and stuck there ever seen. I can able to go into custom recover and did a full wipe but nothing change, could anyone help me out? I have loki also. Using S4 ATT version.
Try wiping cache in your recovery
i did that, always do that after install a new rom, don't know why my phone is soft bricked now...

if you've done a full wipe and tried either re-flashing your rom or restoring a nandroid and neither was successful, you may need to consider going back to stock via odin and starting over.
i've never seen a phone run on the same rom and kernel settings for months and then just shut down and softbrick without something having been changed recently.

[[SOLVED]] Process system isn't responding

Hi,
I rooted my phone 2 days ago and installed custom ROM everything went well, except for today my phone start to lag too much, so I decided to flash back the stock ROM that I have downloaded from Sam-mobile using Odin 3.08, but now my device not responding to anything and even I get "Process system isn't responding" in Samsung wizard installation also the sound disappeared and when try lunch any app like camera I get message "camera failed" and keep getting "Process system isn't responding".
[[The Solution]] for Process system isn't responding follow the steps: ((ONLY SM-N9005))
1-Unroot your phone if you are rooted.
2-Factory rest your phone and clear cache. .
3-Flash the Stock rom for your device.(if this fixed the the problem stop here if not continue to step 4)
4-Download this ROM and flash it by Odin 3.04.(this rom somehow managed to restore my EFS files and fixed the problem)
and that's it.

Oh man, I though I was the only one having this problem. I really don't now how to fix it at all, I've tried flashing stock ROM and I still get the same problem. If anyone can help, I'd be so grateful.
This sounds a lot like the issue I've been having (see details in the thread I posted here).
Any insight would be very welcome.
Yup bad root (it can and does happen the odd time!), clear cache etc in download mode, then reflash the new Stock ROM, then wipe cache etc again in download mode. See if that helps.
Similar issue I had previously after I originally rooted was apps kept closing and saying stopped working. When I wiped the ROM and updated via KIES to MJ7 with wiping cache etc, it seems to have done the trick.
EDIT: Also try ODIN 3.07 rather than 3.08

Unfortunately I've tried all of this too (except using Kies, it won't recognise my phone though I'd never tried it before now) to no avail.
I might try a warranty swap, but I'm concerned because the system status shows custom and I'm unsure there's any way to reset it. I suppose my only chance is to try for an on-the-spot swap for a new phone, because if it gets sent back to Samsung I expect they'd reject it due to the system status.
Still can't understand why the issue persists beyond reflashing the stock rom...

Weird issues after kitkat upgrade

Was happily on CM and for some reason decided to try stock kitkat. Did everything via tutorial and all went all well - but been getting some strange issues which has made my phone unusable.
When i press vol up/down it takes ten seconds to pop up. Sound does not work at all whether calling/playing music. Settings f/c when I attempt to click the sound menu. I believe everything else is working fine.
Tried reflashing stock firmware countless times... Tried flashing numerous custom 4.4 roms.
Australian bought phone if it makes any difference.
Please help as Im stuck using a spare iphone 4 and its killing me! haha.

I believe the best thing to do now is to flash stock ROM and make sure to full wipe everything even internal memory.
If you have external memory, back up what ever you think necessary to it, the remove it from the device and keep it out.
That clean start well give you a good indication whether the problem is based on a bad flash or there is something wrong with the device.
If everything is running smoothly, we will see about flashing custom ROM.

Yep its what ive done, reflashed stock completly and removed sd card. Still no dice - running complete stock 4.4 still with this problem.
Could this be an EFS problem?
If it were an efs problem you wouldn't even boot in most cases.
Can you describe how you flashed stock ROM? Maybe you did it wrong.

NEE region? - if so it has issues with 4.4.2, @nex7er had the same issues, and if you're using SweetROM I believe he pm'd not-i the fix for it. -- It can be fixed though.
Maybe completely wipe it (System, Data and all) and then Flash stock with Odin?
After kitkat upgrade.. if i use camera app such as camera 360 Or picsart, i can't save my photo to sdcard. It's error, Has anyone had or know how to resolve this problem???

I did post the reason on the last page what I think it might be...... if you're in a Nordic region or even have a nordic model it's a common problem, if you search around you'll see others that have the same issue (notably ne7xer). -- If it's not that, then it's a warranty job due to faulty HW
EDIT: you could try a complete wipe including re-partitioning, but that's a bigger job that you'd want to do in all honesty.

Could be my last option considering knox is tripped..
Got a link to a tutorial for re-partitioning?
Grab a PIT file for your device; - then you flash firmware with Odin / PIT file. - I have never done it, nor do I fancy doing it, but have a read (journeyman posted asking how and done it, it's in this section Q+A) - I can never remember whether you flash the PIT first then the firmware or both together. I wouldn't want to hazard a guess just in case though.
But if you've tripped KNOX, then yes, seems like it could be your last option, unless you have tried some various custom ROMs? ( I know sweetROM seems to be the master fix for any issues peple have on KK atm) could just be a stock issue currently that will more than likely get a fix at some point.
EDIT As yours is an AU phone, possible it could be a HK model? - from KOGAN? I know some AU users have had HK models from them.
EDIT2: When I flashed HAL ROM, @theresident stated in his how to OP that we needed to format /system during install - It's possible this may also fix it, but that wipes your entire system obviously and *IF* it doesn't boot up you then have issues
EDIT3 : quote from HAL ROM OP
Instalation:
1. Copy the zip to the phone
2. Reboot to Recovery/CWM
3. Wipe Data/Factory Reset
4. Wipe Cache
5. Wipe Dalvik Cache
6. Mounts and Storage then click "Format /System" (This won't delete any of your data)
7. Install.. wait one minute and ROCK !!!

You are hijacking.
Anyway,
1. Install es file manager or any file reader with root.
2. navigate to /System/etc/permissions
3. open "platform.xml" file to edit
4. look for the stack that has "WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"
you will find something like <group gid="sdcard_r" />
5. make sure these lines are there, if not, add them
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
<group gid="media_rw" />
That's it

Help, lost my sound!

Hello fellow romers!
I recently decided to go back to Touchwiz but I failed. So then I went back to Temasek's CM12.1. Everything was fine until I decided to go full wipe and go v.15 (I was previously on 12.4 I think) and then I did something wrong. I went and did a full wipe on System (don't ask me why, I'm just stupid). So now I have no sound! Everything works as it should but the sound is completely gone.
I have tried reinstalling the phone to complete stock via odin but nothing works. I tried go back to a previous working backup that I have saved but it didn't solve the problem either.
So, to me it sounds like my drivers to my sound is gone or corrupt. Can I reflash it or something? This is really screwing me over since I really don't have the money to buy another Note 3. Help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance.

Thought maybe you flashed a lower version.
Why don't you give it a fresh start? Absolutely cleaning whole internal memory. With latest cm12.1

Well, that's what I'm trying to do right now. But ever since I installed the stock firmware my computer refuses to connect to my phone. So I can't do a backup of all my files. This is just getting weird now. The phone is extremely slow and it keeps saying "Music has stopped working." and it won't let me do anything because of that window... I am seriously thinking about breaking the phone in half at this point. I don't even know if my modem works, and I'm going back to work tomorrow! Damn, I'm getting really stressed out because of this.
Alright, I am in deep **** here and I really need help! How do I do to go back to complete stock?! Like, totally cleaning out my device and reinstalling it?! The phone is absolutely useless and I need to go back to a working state with everything working.
How do I hard reset my phone using odin?
Just got it to work. Apparently I had a bad version of Odin which made it impossible to flash a rom. After I redownloaded Odin to 3.04 it worked perfectly.

Yeah, everything is working now. I flashed the stock firmware with the right region code and everything went back to normal. Why I couldn't flash it was because of a bad version of Odin. Felt kinda stupid for not trying that before I posted here. Thank you for the replies!
