I purchased a Galaxy S4 here in Mexico (SGH-I337M), and everything is working just well, I rooted the device just fine, and all is good and smooth, my only concern is that I do not have video calling capabilities and I was wondering if any of you have the same problem, perhaps this particular model does not have that thing available, but I'm just want to know.
If any of you could corroborate this to me, I'll appreciate that.
Btw, I flashed my S4 with the Canadian Roger firmware but it's still the same.
Please HELP ME!!!
Im from Puerto Rico and I dont have it..I dont know why

Try flashing a ROM from the International S4 forum, looks like this one has it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2272253 but just make sure that you make a nandroid backup or have the stock odin ROM in case that you need to return to stock. Flash it at your own risk

Thanks man, but do you know if I'm going to still have LTE radios, or I'm going to lose the conectivity in order to have the video calls?

Hi everybody,
I'm having some questions. My phone was rooted and I tried to unroot the phone yesterday. Well I used many of the tutorials on this forum and something went wrong, because afterwards my phone lost the IMEI number, which suddenly was changed to something like 004900.... And the "no service" started. I've called the phone company which told me that everything seems to be correct and that I should try to restart the phone and so on..
Well after many hours of searching on Google I found a program called Chimera, which helped me out with restoring the IMEI number to the correct one and after that my phone worked and the "no service" was gone. But this morning somehow the no service came back and I'm currently not able to do call anybody with the phone.
What do I do now? And how can I get the latest firmware 4.3? I live in Denmark and I can't find a stock firmware for the danish company Telenor.
Please help me out with this problem.
Guess you will have to flash firmware of other country,just like I do.

But does that work for you? Which country do you for example use as stock firmware?
Questions go in the q&a forum, report your post and ask a moderator to move it.
A search would have found many duplicate posts on the same subject. Suggest you read the sticky thread, efs 'know this stuff' for further information.

BTU Vodafone. Works as it should. If phone isn't from UK,it doesn't mean that firmware will work bad on it. Phone just doesn't care about that,don't worry.
Hello all,
I've read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2291589 inside and out, but I can't do it! I've asked questions, and even PMed members that were looking for the same solution, and nada.
My phone is brand new and I need it to work for Wind Mobile in Canada. It's running 4.3, with MK2 baseband.
I can't even root it properly, apparently this MK2 baseband is super locked down.
I'll be more than happy to pay 30 bucks via PayPal for anyone who can help me unlock the AWS on this phone.
I've already unlocked the actual phone, I just need the AWS.

First off, can you provide a little more information about your phone?
Your on the MK2 baseband but on what model? I337, I337M,etc?
Lastly, MK2 isn't "locked down" unless you mean the bootloader portion.
From here we might be able to form a solution.

Hello,
Sorry, the model is ATT S4, which is SGH-I337.
Well, I tried three different methods to root it, and none of them worked properly. I'm not that technically gifted, especially with Android, but those rooting apps were pretty much plug and click, and still the phone wasn't rooted. My researched said I need to safetrap it, and with that downgrade the baseband, and then I can enable the AWS, but I honestly wasn't able to any of it.
If anyone is interested, I can even setup a TeamViewer or something. Just tell me which files to download, and should be set.

Do you have Skype? From what I've read your need to root, install Safestrap, downgrade your modem (not baseband) to MF3. I can walk you through the process relatively simple.

Hello, a few days ago, my brother rooted his galaxy S4 with Odin, then he decided to go back to the stock version without root permission. But during the installation of the firmware, the computer is turned off. So I decided to try again to install the firmware with Odin. The installation went fine, but the audio and the wi-fi didn't work. So I decided to install a recovery (jflte cwm 6.0.5.0) and install the latest nightly of CyanogenMod 11 Now the wi-fi works perfectly, but the audio doesn't work. I have done many tests reading on the forum, I also changed kernel but nothing.
Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance!

I am facing the same problem, I've been running CM 11 nightlies for a looong time though.
I hope that we somehow can get an easy fix for this.
All audio
For you guys, does all of your audio don't work, like you can't call, play YouTube or music?

Yes, the dialer doesn't work, in the audio settings I can't hear the different ring tones. If I raise the volume up you I can't hear the classic " beep " .
So completely without audio.
Thank god, I thought I was the only one, no fix either as far as i know. Looked on the internet for one for an hour yesterday too

I tried to flash different modem with Odin, but nothing.
I tried:

XXUBMF8
But no, the audio doesn't work!
Hi,
Yes the problem is related to modem! But to get it working again it's not necessary to go to the latest modem, actually it may not be the solution! Try installing the Galaxy Info app from Play Store ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo) and check your bootloader version, with it you'll have to flash the same version of modem as the bootloader you have.
If that doesn't solve the problem, you'll have to upgrade your modem, just change one version above and keep trying until it works. I know it's tedious, but that's the method I use and always worked .

I've installed the Galaxy info app, and my bootloader was equal to XXUGNG2.
So, I've flashed with Odin the GNG2 modem first, then the 4 and the 8. But the audio still doesn't work.
So, I've flashed with the GNG8 modem his correlated bootloader, but the problem still persists. Any ideas?

Hi,
Not many ideas here. But anyway, just in case you want to try I'm using XXUFNB8 bootloader with the XXUFNB8 modem. If you are running a bootloader newer than mine don't even consider changing your bootloader, but maybe the modem may help.
If you are sure you tried as many possible combinations of BL and MDM, then try flashing another zip, as this one may be corrupted...

My sound still comes and goes as it pleases.. It seems like it is having its own life - Sometimes it stays for hours, then goes away for 10 minutes and sometimes it's the other way around.
Anyway, I've tried the phone-info app, and my bootloader (as expected) is: I9505XXUFNB9.
My Baseband version is also I9505XXUFNB9. PDA and CSC are both blank.
It still bugs me a lot I must say...
up, same problem here.
I've tried everything.. Any news?
So.. Just wanted to update you guys..
I've now been "with sound" for about 20 hours, which is a new record, and I think that it will stay.

Hi,
I've had som rough weeks with my GS4 I9505. Hopefully some of you can help me.
I'm running CM11 nightlies, which was doing pretty great, until 3 weeks ago, where the media sound disappeared.
Well actually, I found out that the media sound WAS playing, but it was SUPER low. I had to put the volume at max and lay my ear directly on the speaker to hear it just a bit.
I read that a couple of others had the same problem, or at least I thought so, but now I tend more to think that my problem is/was hardware related.
Anyway, I tried flashing a lot of different firmwares, to match the bootloader and so on.
I am currently on:
Bootloader: I9505XXUFNB9
Baseband: I9505XXUFNB9
PDA/CSC: BLANK
The latest stock Samsung firmware I flashed, was: I9505XXUFNB9_I9505NEEFNB2_NEE
I am from Denmark and my phone is unbranded.
When I did that, the phone got VERY slow and wifi didn't work. Then I flashed CM11 again and wifi worked.
But now I am totally unable to make calls, it just freezes up and finally makes the call, but the call-speaker, media-speaker and microphone doesn't work.
When I try playing video (and some games) the specific app freezes and crashes too.
If I at least could get back to where my call-speaker/microphone worked and I had super-low audio I'd be ever so happy, 'cause then I can go and get a new media-speaker.
I hope someone can help me, otherwise I'll have to trash this phone, which I've been pretty happy to use for a while now.
Any pointers will do!
Thank you in advance.

Hi mate , hi DeepankarS
Seem like two different problems here.....
the low volume may be a hardware problem , the speaker gone bad , if you can hear fine with your earphones i would say is a speaker problem...really easy to replace btw.
the other problems showed up after flashing so i asume they come from bad flashing........backup , also efs folder , do a factory reset and flash stock again.......what recovery you have ? the important thing is to leave the phone clean before you flash with Odin

Hi MAX 404
Yea, they started when flashing new bootloader and modem.
I'll try that in the morning (again) - It's quite late here.
I'm on Philz at the moment.
So, the phone should be totally clean before flashing with Odin? I don't think I did that last time actually
What firmware should I flash? The same as last time?

Dowbload any october/september build without carrier locking.
AFAIK, there was this UK one of October. You can try that
Also there is an Ireland one without carrier locking
AND IF YOU ARE ROOTED AS OF NOW, BACKUP EFS BEFORE FLASHING.
Use a good rated efs backup app from the playstore.

Hi ,
you have two options , factory reset and clean to install a new rom , try them both
Also would not hurt to mounts and storage menu/ format data and /datamedia ( /sdcard) that is your internal SDcard so is really clean....but after that you need to have a custom rom in the externalSD or go to download mode and flash with odin ....
Same rom as before should be fine....or download it again just to make sure is ok
BAckup first!! efs folder also.

Then your hardware is dead. You already had low sound.
Get a speaker replacement and google this
Galaxy s4 teardown ifixit.com amd follow the steps to fix your speaker. Hardly takes 10 minutes.
Edit : Wait sound as in no audio in all the speakers?
