Hi, i just got myself a Samsung Galaxy S4 and i have succesfully flashed several roms. But when i flashed back to the original firmware with Odin, suddenly my WiFi can't be enabled, and my speakers don't work. I have tried factory resetting, and a full wipe, but it didn't work. But when i use a different rom, the wifi starts working again.
if anyone could help me it would be great
known issue with MJ5 stock firmware, is this what you have?
Flash one of the Wifi Fix modems here with Odin. Make sure that the one you download matches the firmware you are running.
Hope that fixes it, if it doesn't work first time, flash it, restart phone back into download mode, and flash again. Had to do that with mine.

No, im sorry it didn't work for me, not even the doubleflash thing
I should probably just send it in on my warranty
Hi,
I've been do many flash last 24 hours on my Galaxy S4(Model SGH-I337M, Telus). Initialy, i've the factory stock rom, rooted. So, yesterday, i've decided to install Cyanogen mods nightly on my phone. Not the first time i've been used it on my phone. No problem before. So, this night, after a friend show me the release canditate release seem to be more stable, i've been try to put it on my phone. So, accidentaly wipe all the data on my phone. When i'm back home, i've put again the samsung original rom from my operator(4.2.2), found here, on the website, whit odin. All completed succefully, but i've noticed that the wifi won't turn on after the flash, and no sound from the speaker. So, i've put Cyanogen nigthlies again to test if it rom relative, but same issues here, no sound, but the wifi was working. The phone was very instable, so. Then, finaly, put the original rom again, without any rooting. Stuck on samsung logo, that i've finaly got fixed by clear the data and cache. But, no sound, and no wifi. Instable too.
Precision about phone: Unlocked whit the service mode(work), and enabled AWS whit a software and file(tutorial found here)
My question is: Anything else i can do to make my phone work fine again, and does it's possible to make the phone totaly stock? When i boot up, i've noticed that the phone, whit all rom i've try, said on samsung logo: Kernel is not sendroid enfonced, warranty status: kernel, so i can't go to return my phone on warranty whit that. How i can erase that line, and make my phone seem to be no modified?
Just to specify, it's not the first time i flash a phone. Do many flash, whit galaxy s2, s3 and s4, and sure, mine. Got try Cyanogen, stock, know how Odin work and all, try many rom, and before today, never has any problem to do turn back, but now, it's seem to be impossible.
Thank you very much for your help, very appreciated!
I would flash the stock firmware with odin again. After flashing do a factory reset in the stock recovery.

I've just try this. Flash the stock rom whit odin, and factory reset on original recovery after. Same, no wifi, no any sound.
Just see yesterday, when i'm flashing, i'm flashing on the bootloader in odin(whit the tar for the stock rom). Today, correct this by flash on the pda section, still not work. Found here on the forum the stock bootloader, rom, csc, and modem, but when i do this whit odin, odin said fail.
Thank very much, i think my phone is dead, and nothing to do to exchange it on warranty.
I think Kies has an emergency firmware recovery mode.... maybe that'll work.

Just try this. Kies is the worst software i've ever see. The software completely freeze random. When i go to the emergency menu, never, kies recognize my phone here. I've tried to plug my phone, no recognized. Tried without plug it, no recognized. When i plug it, kies said connection in progress, and can stay here 30 min.
I'm a idea of what is my problem. Before do install of cyanogen, i've been applied the samsung official 4.3 update, whit knox. And, according to what i read on many forum, knox is not ereasable, So, it's completely freeze my phone, and nothing to do.
Anyone have the factory telus bootloader and other factory stock items because i want to put it stock.
Thank.
Finally get problems fixed by take the TELUS stock 4.3 ROM and flash it whit Odin. After, can flash cyanogen nightlies again and the phone work well again.
Whit the stock ROM, didn't see any line on the Samsung boot logo that i've rooted. After root this appear again. Knox regardless of ROM installed said 0x1.
If anyone have a fix to put it again 0x0 very appreciated otherwise the phone work fine and thank you very much for your help.

@Spacemonkie4207 never my itune was freeze, and i can do basic operation like transfer music or create playlist without any problem. My kies stay on connection in progress, and turn, turn, turn, but never connect. And when it connect, only one operation, and kies completely freeze, stop responding, need to close it, and open it again. Tried many cable, usb cable, reinstalling software, two other computer, but nothing to do.
I recovered back to stock from custom to 4.3 however if you do so, depending on carrier you could lose root and the ability to install custom recovery.
I would revert back to 4.2.2 (as it's knox free) go to samsungupdates (google it) and pull the 4.2.2 for your region and carrier. flash with odin 3.9
you'll lose root, but you can always perform again as long as not on 4.3 (with 4.3 u can still root if you remove all the knox stuff, u just lose warranty).

Here's the story
1. this phone wouldn't boot up after the OTA update, the screen read "firmware upgrade encountered an issue.
please use software repair assistant & try again."
2. used odin 3.09 to reflash pit and the latest nc4 official firmware (I know it can't be rooted, but that's the only choice I have).
3. phone came back alive, worked for t-mobile and verizon sim cards.
Problem:
after a few hours or maybe a day, or maybe a restart, phone won't detect sim card, baseband version shows unkwown, hardware
version is empty, imei, network, MIN, PRL version, ERI version, imeisv, iccid are all "unknown".
What I have done:
phone will be back to normal if I flash the firmware again, I've use odin 3.09 and kies 3 many times.
I also tried flashing different modems, for ex, MI9, MJE, NC2 even NC4. But phone will keep restarting, sometimes the phone is working after
a few restarts. But eventually I will have the same problem again.
I was wondering if someone could point me to the right direction?

When you flashed the different modems, did you check settings/about the phone to verify that the modem flash " took"? Recommend entering Odin from power off, especially when flashing modems. FWIW, I'm not at all sure this will fix your problem, but it's worth a shot.

Yes I did. The baseband version showed MI9 when my phone was still working properly.

OK. Hopefully someone else will chime in with some suggestions.
one more thing I've done many times so far is, sometimes a full reset will bring it back to normal too.
settings -> backup and reset -> factory data reset.
I don't mind bricking my phone, but maybe someone knows other possible way, say, flashing EFS? I don't even know what that is.
I've been searching for the right solution but I haven't found one yet.
Never ever give up!
I'm the OP and I finally got it working. I simply ran EFS Professional v2.1.73, did a backup and restore of the EFS. That's it!
Did you figure out what efs is?

It didn't last long, and using EFS profession for EFS backup/restore never worked again.
I then saw this page the other day,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2610757
So I used odin to flash
pit
official kitkat rom
I also checked these two,
erase nand
erase EFS
the phone booted up fine, I then turned it off and entered recovery mode, did a data and cache wipe, then booted up the phone again, that brought back my imei, my sim card worked again.
Unfortunately I'll lose it again once I flash a custom rom, or perhaps even a reboot.
I'm still searching for a permanent solution. But at least now I can use my sim card with a stock rom
Rom based on which region?

Can you please tell the stock rom based on which CSC ? or country ?
I'm having the same issue. Lost baseband and imei, but never got it recovered. even with stock.
I use this one,

Same boat brother, this is what I've posted. So far I'm a week in this situation, battery pull brings it back, any mod like Xposed with module where you have to reboot looses the baseband, IMEI etc. I have backup of the EFS and restored it multiple time with no joy.
Need some advice guys for Verizon my Note 3, I'm currently stock NC4 ready to. flash this bad boy ROM, after root access with TowelRoot, installation of BusyBox and Supersu no SafeTrap yet. Once I reboot in this state, I have the Baseband unknown under Settings-About Phone status all unknown info on IME etc etc. Off course I loose 4G signal all together. I may reboot again and it comes back. I know about EFS partition corruption and have multiple backup of My note 3 EFs partition. Even with restore it would still happen. I have exhausted all my knowledge learned throughout the years from you guys. But, I'm asking some help again. I am very familiar with all the terms about flashing/rooting so please feel free to throw some genius on how I can fix this thing.

I was rooted on 4.2.2 with Rogers but wanted to update to 4.4.2 and didnt really use the root anyway. So i installed back the stock rom and resetted to factory. But now wifi wont turn on at all. I ran the softaware update and im still on 4.2.2 and it says I have the latest version available but i know rogers released 4.4.2 in march 2014...
Anyway, which way should i go to get everything working again?
Thanks
I don't know if anyone has explained why this happens, but sometimes the modem firmware doesn't completely "take", leaving parts not working correctly. Reflashing the modem usually corrects this. In your case, where you want to upgrade to the latest firmware, you should download it from sammobile.com and flash it through Odin. Not only will you not have to worry about a software update, but installing the updated ROM through Odin should correct your WiFi issue as a new modem will be flashed with the firmware.
downloading now, i'll report back
fixed thanks a lot
I have lost the phone that has been working for ages. I am broke atm. Please help I need to use my phone. I was trying to get my radio to work again because I lost data a couple weeks back. So I have spent more time than I even should have for this trying to fix it.

lineage-14.1-20190212-nightly-jfltexx-signed
and
open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20190209
I have wiped everything and tried 2 different system boards ;
from download mode I have
used I337MVLSGQB1_I337MOYAGQB1_I337MVLSGQB1_HOME.tar
to reload with nothing checked but F. Reset Time.
pulled out the cable then the battery.
went straght to recovery (system was going there already) to do first stage unpack with android and progress bar.
It said BAR and END
I went in back in after restart, and a full wipe.
And after a long wait .. the system very glitchy, slow like something was running in the background (modem ?) if I open the phone app it wont close and calls are silent. then resets over and over..
I have tried custom roms, and flashing latest modem and original ? Whats up ? anyone
PLEAESSEEE help soon .. I am going crazy cuz this is literally my only phone and I need to use it !!!!

I know your post was a while ago but you cannot use Odin to flash a custom ROM.
Are you flashing the latest stock ROM from sammobile.com or updato.com?

I ended up using the pixel experience rom. I am sure I have the wrong bootloader and modem for i337m though. It works with data when I reset network settings and re-enable. Data each reboot. For the longest time lineage 9505 ROMs worked until like Feb 5th I saw the data just fall use just fall off. I couldn't get chatr to work anymore. It was a nightmare I went to stock and , pitted the phone and it would only function until I added TWRP and tried a nougat rom or even with latest modem. Wifi was evn a problem. Now I am using like a lollipop bootloader with the green battery charging and modem isn't right. When I flash a different modem and bootloader in Odin and rip the battery and then cableit doesn't even change .
Wtf?

I'm not sure how you could flash the wrong bootloader unless it was flashed using TWRP or CWM. To confirm, boot into download mode to see the model # listed on the screen.
Are the modem and bootloader matched; i.e. the phone is running a 5.0 bootloader and modem? To easily ensure that both are matched, you can flash the latest stock ROM using Odin.
If the modem version is not changing after being flashed, it is possible that the internal memory is faulty.
