I have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy Express (GT-I8730), international version.
I updated my firmware using Odin to a newer build. The firmware was downloaded from SamFirmware.com.
After the update finished and my phone restarted I've got no sound at all. I tried doing a factory reset but no luck. I thought the firmware was corrupted and after downloading and installing a new one, the exact same thing happened.
In the video posted below I am doing a factory reset from recovery, just to show you that I'm doing everything from the beginning.
The phone vibrates but there is no sound.
Before the update I had build version : I8730XWAMB8. After the update I tried with : I8730XWAMD7 and I8730XWAMC4. All these builds have the version number 4.1.2.
If I reinstall the I8730XWAMB8, I have sound but this build is branded and I'm very mad that I can't install other versions. This thing won't happen on my Note 2. I can install what firmware I want from SamFirmware.com.
I also saw that with all these builds my phone will randomly power-off at different times. It can be 5 minutes after I turn it on or it can be 18 hours. After the power-off I need to take out the battery.
What is wrong with the phone? Before these updates everything worked perfectly (before trying these updates, with the initial build I had sound and there were no random power-offs).
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
I also wanted to de-brand my i8730 and had similar issues as you. I tried 4 different firmwares, and the only firmware that really works OK is the original, branded one. With other firmwares (same version, same country but different branding) got me the occasional shutdowns like you described and wifi constantly disconnecting and connecting again.
Now I went back to the XWAMB8, rooted the phone and with Titanium Backup removed all the branded apps.
If you don't want to root your device you can always hide the apps, from the app list click on the Menu button and choose the option Hide applications.
Isn't that weird? I had a lot of Samsung smartphones and flashed a lot of firmwares (both stock and custom) and never experienced something like this. Can you tell me where you bought the phone from (what carrier and country)? Thanks.

It is indeed very weird. My phone is branded to Portuguese Vodafone, I tried flashing other portuguese firmwares and also from other countries, the only stable one is the original one.
I think the phone is designed to be like that.
Sent from my GT-I8730 using xda-developers app
It is happened to me too, this power of thing in XWAMC4 firmware. (it is happened after less then 5 minuts after i turned out the screen)
finally i went back to the XWAMB8 and it's all work great.
No sound at all - not a problem in Australia
I updated and Optus branded i8730 with the plain vanilla variety and have had no problem.
Is your phone network locked?
99% sure mine is not and that may be what is causing it.

Well, it was a Vodafone Romania firmware but not really branded. I mean, it only had some apps installed by Vodafone. However, I'm getting my hands on an unbranded grey Galaxy Express today. Let's see what's going to happen with this one..
Something similar happened to me. I rooted it via motochoper from my linux desktop. Played a bit with root stuff, and later then I had no sim detection and no more speaker sound. I reflashed /system and got sim detected but still no speaker sound. Now I'm affraid of rooting the new one (I got lucky with my carrier). Something is weird about that phone...
Edit: In fact it seems to be TB that messed up the device... Everything fine now...

Version number: JZO54K.I8730XWAMB8
Do you have any soluce to fixe this probleme ?
Thanks a lot
Wipe and full reflash with odin or heimdall...
Try full wipe and full reflash of original firmware with odin or heimdall...
Does somebody was able to flash a ROM released for a different carrier and still have sound working on this phone?
I either have no sound at all (after burning a new ROM for different carrier) or have strange sound (like "ET call home" - not my problem description, just found it on this forum too) after mixing new ROM with my original MODEM file.
Of course, everything is fine after burning back my original ROM.

I have this exact same problem!! Ughh.
Any fix?
Flash I8730XWAMK1, will work and you will not have the brand logo. I use this one and is perfectly ! Good Luck ! :good::good:
hi All
have the same problem
original firmware is AP I8730XWAMB8 / CP I8730XWAMB7 / CSC I8730BOGAMB1
phone freeze , restart , no sound ..........
Solved with I8730XWANE1_OXXANF1 , all is OK , sound OK
After I flashed LineageOS 14.1 for GT-I8730T (mine is GT-I8730) the sound doesn't work, video player and music players too, they open and I can fast forward it, but it doesn't play. I changed it back to I8730UBAMD2 and CM 13.1 but nothing. Please help me!
I've spent a lot of time now trying to fix my phone and i'm really quite worried.
It's a Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-I337M (CSC I337MOYAAAMDJ, Baseband I337MVLUAMDJ, version 4.2.2).
I have had CM 10 on it running perfectly fine for about a year. I decided to update it though and didn't know that you could update CM right from the phone , so I downloaded the software from their site onto my phone and onto my PC. Followed the instructions installation froze and didn't move forward for over a day .... so I gave up.
I went looking for and downloaded the phone's stock firmware for both my carrier (Virgin Mobile, Canada) and for Bell's, so I installed TWRP with Odin 3.07 without issue. When I install the stock firmware my WiFi will not turn on.
So i've tried installing several rom's putting them on the SD card and using TWRP on my phone and i've found out that if I use Goldeneye and tell it my phone is an I9505, or hyperdrive (I9505) or at the moment Google Play Edition (JFLTE 5.01, kernel = Googy-Max3) that the WiFI DOES TURN ON as soon as the rom is loaded !!! So I thought I was good, but no
When flashed with either it's stock I337M firmware or these custom I9505 rom's my phone will play no audio. Chrome just crashes if I go to play any music or video. If someone call's, the ringer doesn't work but after several 'rings' my phone start's to vibrate indicating they called (aka the dialer lags out and then crashes). I can make calls too but when I talk the recipient can't hear me, nor I them.
It downloaded and re-installed all the app's of my google backup totally fine and using wi-fi. It play's games fine (but with no sound), i can txt fine, etc. It notices and connects to the network (Virgin Mobile) fine (I turned off wifi and tried downloaded stuff, txts go back and forth, and my phone labels Virgin)
I'm on a stupid 2 year contract and this phone cost $650 at the time I got it. It's knox 0x1 so no warranty to have it repaired. Does ANYONE have ANY idea what might be causing my phone not to play any sound's? I've tried pretty much everything I can think of.
I'd be willing to live with a totally cripples phone ... but it's got to at least work for receiving or sending phone calls and this sound issue crashes the dialer and even if I manage to pickup when it's vibrating before the other person has hung up there's no sound, neither of us can hear each other .
Does ANYONE have ANY idea what could be doing this or how to fix it? I'm so depressed and worried right now that I just a phone I spent a lot of money and am on a stupid contract on :/. I fixed the wifi problem by flashing with a rom that 'makes it' a GT-I9505G, baseband I337MUMUAMDL (v 5.0.1) (vs SGH-I337M, baseband I337MVLUAMDJ (v 4.2.2)), but the same sound and audio/media problem exist's no matter what firmware or version the phone ends up being .
I should have just left it with CM as it was but *sigh* here I am, please help.

try with this firmware
lets me see
k thanks i'll try it (once it's slow download is done) and update this post. Looks the same except I guess it's android v5.0.1 (well and it's a different CSC/PDA).
K well i've tried that firmware and it's given me some abnormal problems.
Odin typically just writes in like two minutes and boom done, but when I tried to flash with the firmware you suggested like every 15 seconds it would say ...
"Receive Response from boot -loader"
"Transmission Complete.."
"Now Writing .. Please wait about 2 minutes"
It kept cycling through those 3 messages until it FINALLY finished and it say's PASS but it took 9 min 53 seconds which is like 5 times longer then it's ever taken.
Wheather this is relevant or not i'm not sure just trying to give as much details as I can.
Anyways, after booting the phone the samsung logo came up as usual and usually it takes like 5-10 min sitting at this logo before the phone completes loading, presumably setting up the firmware I imagine.
It's been now sitting at that logo for over 20 minutes and i'm about to try wiping with TWRP the davlic cache/cache/data/internal and either trying again with odin (v3.07) OR
If that contines to not work I might put the tar.md5 on the external SD card and recover a saved backup I have on the SD card (with the stock firmware I had before that doesn't allow Wi-Fi to be enabled nor audio/media to play) and use Mobile Odin Pro .apk (I paid for the pro version) from within that restored recovery to flash the firmware you suggested to my phone again.
This is probably redundant but I just figure I might as well try absolutely everything I can possibly think of with your firmware.
If you have any idea why I might be experiencing these abnormal Odin flashing and/or initial loading conditions of the firmware you (or anybody ) suggested i'd appreciate any advice you can give.
I'm going to try and reflash with Odin on my PC again right now (i'm certain thing's like the USB cable are fine and my PC and phone can transfer data without issue .. but that's why i'm going to try mobile odin if after this next attempt doesn't work either).
I'll keep the thread updated, any and all advice is welcomed and highly appreciated
EDIT: OMG it made a like startup theme sound ... that's the first time it's outputted sound in 3 day's !!! It's at the Samsung screen loading the newly flashed firmware so hopefully that completes because wow my phone made noise finally !! Now to wait, and wait....
It won't go past the Samsung logo. So I guess i'll try Mobile Odin. I don't have much faith but it's worth trying.
Uh the backup of the stock firmware I made won't load ... but the hyperdrive rom did. Sound and the dialer work perfectly fine in this rom now, so I guess thing's are more or less fixed. Even though i've wiped the cache/davlic/internal/data in order to prepare to flash the other firmware or this hyperdrive rom (I wipe it every time) in this rom it's reporting my phone's baseband to be I337MVLUGOC4 which is that of the firmware you suggested ...
I'd still rather not use this rom, I thought it was ok at first but meh i'm going to try to go back to CM (after all this *rolls eyes*), trying to use Mobile Odin to install the firmware that you recommended and that appears to have ... somehow fixed the sound can't detect the model of my phone and is dumping, this is not something that has happened with the app before so I don't think i'll be flashing the firmware you suggested.
If it did something to globally fix the crashing when an app was instructed to play audio as it appears to have I guess i'm going to just go download the full CM now, put it on the SD card and install it with TWRP.
So uh, not 100% there yet but it does appear what you've suggested has solved my problem (because worst case scenario i'll just be stuck with the Hyperdrive rom ... but i'll have a working phone) so thanks so much bud I was quite upset and worried about what I was going to do still paying off a useless phone on a contract i'm stuck with for another year still.
I suppose there's no real need in continuing to update this thread as it appears my problems are solved and all that's left are things i'm doing not to fix anything but just because of personal preference over what rom to use but if you want to know anything more just ask, otherwise thank you so much you saved my ass and i'm very grateful.
Flashed stock 5.01 ROM and phone call function stopped working.
When calling, there is a connection but no sound can be heard on either end of call.
It WAS working briefly and briefly managed to 'fix' it. Everything else functions correctly. Wifi calling works perfect. SMS works perfect.
I have searched forums and Googled this (about 9 hours worth so today) so quite at a loss how to proceed.
Tried forums suggestions to:
- disable Google Now/OK Google voice functions
- disable S Voice functions
- removing and replacing SIM/SD card
- wiping cache
- air dusting earphone port
- clear Google Play services cache and data
- clear Drive cache
- boot into Safe Mode, still not working
Additionally tried re-wipe cache/DALVIK/data/entire device and re-installed different stock ROM, same problem
I flashed both BELL and Rogers stock Lollipop ROM from XDA post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att/general/sgh-i337m-canadian-stock-official-t3082758) via Odin
Any suggestions???
The only thing that worked briefly was:
In App Info for the Phone App, I did 'clear data' and 'clear cache' for all THREE Phone Apps (yes, there are three, I don't know if this is normal or not as this is first time with Lollipop). This allowed the phone to work BRIEFLY, then problem returned.
Try flashing the latest stock from sammobile.com.
Hi,
Attempting this but both Bell and Rogers Lollipop firmware .ZIP are corrupt from Sammobile.com I've contacted their admin to advise of this as I have tried downloading multiple times with the same corrupt file result.
Are there any other reputable download site?

Anything to be concerned about reverting via TWRP to Kitkat
Tried Emergency Firmware recovery via KIES, no luck, re-wiped cache, did factory reset in stock recovery, still no good.
Tried swapping Sim card tray and Earphone port (had a parts phone kicking around that is stuck on boot logo ((TWRP/ODIN Flashing does not recover this phone sadly)))
Will try to revert to Kitkat via TWRP next.
Note: I AM able to make normal calls as long the device is connected via Bluetooth to my car or to my bluetooth headset. Discovered this after more googling/forum searching.

What are you using to download from sammobile? I always use a win 7 machine.
What are program is being used to unzip the rom? You're only unzipping once?
Hi,
I'm using Win7 x64 Home Premium. WinRAR to unzip.
Since posting last I have restored Nandroid backup - phone function still didn't work and Google Play Services glitched out.
So, next downloaded 4.4.2 Kitkat from Sammobile, extracted no problem, flashed via Odin (no errors)- still no phone function
Wiped phone yet again, re-installed Kitkat one more time with Odia (no errors) - still no phone function
Used Kies to do Firmware Update and Initialization, (no errors) - still no phone function
Re-wiped again and used Kies once more, this time not doing App Restore function in case there is App causing issues and not signing into Google or Samsung Account to avoid anything restoring - still not working but interestingly there was a OTA update to 5.01 that installed fine - end result... phone function still not working.
If anybody can offer me another suggestion to try, I'll be happy to attempt but at this point I'm prepared to say f**k it and buy another phone.
I've been at this since last Saturday.

After flashing with Odin, are you able to confirm that the bootloader and baseband match each other and the rom that was flashed? The imei is correctly displayed?
Since you are able to make calls via Bluetooth, are you able to hear the other party and the other party can hear you? What about calls via speakerphone?
Yes, I've attached a screenshot. Bootloader and baseband do match. This last round of install was done via OTA update that popped up after installing Kitkat. I just rolled with it as I figured if it's coming from Samsung directly, why not.
When making calls via Bluetooth, there are no issues. It functions as normal. It is just through the Phone App itself.
Interestingly, I discovered I can make outbound call no problem via Google Hangouts dialer as well. This is incredibly frustrating.

Did you try reflashing the OH1 ROM? Sounds redundant but I'm not sure what else to suggest short of putting the motherboard into another phone and trying it out.
Hi audit13,
Haven't tried installing mobo in another phone, will give that a whirl for sh*ts''grinz.
Been an incredibly frustrating process. Another interesting thing that has been happening is that I notice the boot up sequence takes a lot longer than I recall.
Have been trying to avoid using the phone.
Re-flashed OH1 using ODIN and earlier tonight, Kies. Still not working.
I'm wondering if doing something like reverting to very old ROM may do the trick instead.
Do you happen to know how old I can go? Jellybean? I will check sammobile and see what the oldest they have there.
Phone functions perfectly fine via Bluetooth still, IP calls via WhatsApp and Hangouts Dialer also work per normal. Just trying to place normal calls does not work.
Have also had bootloops lately too I notice.
You can go as far back as 4.4.2 from my experience.
You'r performing a factory wipe right after flashing in Odin?
Initial boot up after flashing and wiping usually takes a long time but it should become quicker as the cache builds up with each reboot.
@rogue_element have you found a solution?
My wife's phone is having the exact same problem.
It started happening like a couple months ago. Haven't flashed anything to it. It just suddenly happened.
Hi ImpheOtus,
No, I'm still searching for a solution. I tried reflashing and then factory reset per audit13 suggestions but still no luck. I even tried swapping the ear piece module from a parts phone and no go. Extremely frustrating. Shopping for a new phone at this point but I'm still trying for a resolution as I'm stubborn and don't like giving up.
Hi audit13,
I'm actually suspecting the something else at this point (virus/malware, etc.) in the bootloader or deeper. There has been other random odd behavior, and while I don't rule out something like a hardware problem either, the behavior has been very strange.
Perversely, my wife's phone briefly experienced the same issue as mine but it cleared up after a reboot.
I will go hunting for a tut on flashing bootloader and kernel only next to see if that helps. If you have any suggestions of where to look for tutorial and/or files please feel free.
I tried flashing 4.4.2 but no luck there either btw

Hello, my SM-G935A is rooted, and I have 2 issues with it. Firstly, I'm unable to receive texts or phone calls (I can send them), and I've tried a factory reset and I even got a new SIM, but nothing worked. I think if I flash stock firmware, it might fix the issue. Second problem, when I go into download mode and select my AP in Odin and press start, my phone gets an error and Odin freezes at Initialization.
Any help would be appreciated. I would prefer to fix the texting issue, as I don't want to return the phone to ATT. In either case, the Odin issue needs to be fixed
I'm having a similar issue. This afternoon, 2 apps threw errors and closed. I rebooted, which apparently was the wrong thing to do. The reboot stalled on the AT&T logo and stayed that way for 5 min - the unit became very hot & the power button did not respond, even while holding it down. I got into recovery, cleared the cache and factory reset, then rebooted. The unit came back up and started reinstalling everything. I took it back down into the download status and attempted to reload 935x via Odin, only to stall at "initialzation" [sic] as you did. I got out of that after waiting for some sort of response. SuperSU was still in my apps as was Root Checker. Root Checker indicates the system is rooted. SuperSU indicates it needs the binary updated. BusyBox and TiBu indicate they cannot find root. I deleted all the root apps and tried reinstalling root via adb which completed successfully, but the same outcome with all the root apps. So I'm not sure if I'm still really rooted as Root Checker claims, or not.
EDIT: I just saw that I have 2 "Knox Settings" apps. Clicking on either returns, "Unfortunately, Container Agent2 has stopped."
use the odin from the stock firmware thread to flash it again. if it fails you can flash the u firmware and then the stock again. then you have to use a different odin if you want to flash the root api file the one you flash the firmware with wont work. also there is help in one of the threads about fixing the volte problem so you dont have to turn it off to get calls. i didnt have to do it as using the odin i mentioned fixed it for me when i came from the u firmware.

did you have any problems with the u version of the s7 edge firmware, like the fingerprint scanner not responding? i am on that version and cant get any odin version or any version of s7 edge g935a firmware to flash, tried unrooting and was forced to use the U version of the s7 edge firmware, everything works except the fingerprint scanner, cant get back to full stock firmware, need help!
im having the exact same problem, when i put my phone into download mode and flash the stock at&t firmware, Odin get stuck in "initialization" and my phone screen displays and error message.
Same stuff was happening to me, I went back to stock and took the update. When your phone stops working as an actual phone, it's time to roll it back.
I played with it for a week and my phone was so freaking hot (with hot weather) equals a wait and see if this gets more stable in the near future. I did use the Odin 3.12.3 mentioned by King James III. Honestly, I did so many things to get it back to stock I forget what actually worked (it was the wee hours of the morning and I was spent). Don't give up guys, it will and can work.
edit: It may be as simple as not right clicking Odin and running it as Administrator.

I used Odin_v3.12.3_Patched_SHA256 to flash the 935U Firmware then used Odin3_v3.11.2 to flash the June Firmware release.
So they other night i tried rooting my gs7 edge AT&T version.. Found a tutorial online and flashed a file via odin. And upon rebooting ended up freezing on the AT&T boot logo. which seemed to a common problem after reading the comments. The only way was to do a factory reset which i did and got the phone working again. But now the phone is extremely sluggish it lags doing the simplest tasks. Now i want to start over and flash the stock firmware via odin but not sure what files to flash something about pi2 and the BL. Can some one point out to me what is the latest firmware i should be installing. Just trying to go back to stock here.

You still have the eng kernel installed. Go to the AT&T forum for the S7 and you will see what others have done.
