[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Furinax:
You can't flash it through recovery you have to use Odin and yes 3.09 should work fine. Make sure you extract the zip first and select the .md5 file that gets extracted from the zip. ALSO note that this will replace your custom recovery. I have not yet attempted to replace the stock recovery after flashing and fixing my phone, so I cannot tell you if it will work or not. At this point I'm just happy to have my phone working again so I'm not tampering and leaving it at stock. Also note that once you flash 4.3 the boot loader will be replaced so that if you tamper with the phone (flash anything new etc) it will permanently set a flag that you cannot change which indicates that your warranty is now void.

Yay! Glad to hear it. Just gotta watch and read lots before flashing custom roms. Some phones are a pain in the rear, some are fine. Usually stick to flagship phones for this. For example the Nexus series from Google, never had an issue flashing any of those phones. Anyway buddy I'm glad to hear it's all working, merry Christmas and happy new year to you too and God bless you as well. Take care!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevenca:
I am going through this right now as we speak. I bought a S4 I337M tonight locked to Telus and am trying to unlock it for bell.....it was on 4.3 so yeah I tripped the knox bootloader which is ok because I do not have warranty on the phone :P BUT I installed 4.2.2 and tried the unlocking and of course it does not seem possible on the Telus i337m .....I followed all suggestions to a T so we must have to pay for codes....

Anyways I lost wifi and sound so i used odin to push back telus factory firmware mk6 and still have no wifi and sound ? Any ideas?

I am currently using odin and pushing it once again , fingers crossed :(

Any tips on both the unlocking and regaining sound and wifi ? thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Furinax:
Hey. So a couple of things. First, if you did the unlock process with the 4.2.2 rom, you unfortunately have to re flash the 4.2.2 rom and this time in the menu turn sim lock back on. Then, you can proceed to flash 4.3.3 and buy an unlock code. The reason you have to re flash and explicitly re - enable sim lock using the 4.2.2 menu is that once it fails, if you don't do that then even your purchased unlock code won't work!

So make sure you do that. I believe it's #*0101 then hit menu key, select back. Hit menu again, select number input, enter 1. Get the ddms main menu or whatever it's called where you can see network lock options and then select on instead of off. There is actually a video on YouTube of this exact issue and fix, I've just been moving for 4 days and am beat so if you get really stuck here I can find it tomorrow.

Once you do that re flash 4.3.3 with Odin but before you do, enter recover mode and wipe/factory reset/cache everything and of course ensure you are backed up first.

It has been my experience and others experience that you may need to re flash 4.3.3 multiple times before the wifi and other issues will be fixed. Don't panic, it'll work. Once you've got that all sorted, I bought my unlock codes (did this painful process on three sgh-1337m's) from cellunlocker.net and all went perfect. Let me know if you have any more questions!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevenca:
Thanks! took 3 times to get back wifi and sound.....so odd.

I am now flashing 4.2 again and i will change the settings you mentioned back to locked than clear cache/factory wipe before going back to 4.3 and ordering my unlock code online....I dont understand why it works for some and not otherS!@!!!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Furinax:
Glad you got sound/wifi back! As far as why it sometimes works, phone had to be shipped with 4.2.2. Once they get upgraded to 4.3, the functionality is gone for reasons I'm not 100% on so I won't shoot my mouth off like I'm an expert. Lol enjoy your unlocked phone once you get it all sorted!

After the second flashing works, be patient

Hello stevenca, i reflash a second time with the original ROM and normalized, do the reflash for a second or third time with the original ROM of your phone and I guarantee it will work, Furinax help me a lot, have a happy new year. I will keep in contact if i can help you.

- U cant come back of 4.3 to 4.2.2. And u cant restore ur DATA/boot of 4.2.2 to one new firmware 4.3 either

- U will have to install now TWRP for ex.

- Go to Recovery and wipe all (data, system, cache and dalvik cache)

- Reboot in Download Mode

- Flash this firmware by ODIN

- Take a look in XDA the terms im writing u (TWRP, Recovery, Download mode, ODIN, Flashing firmware). They are very important steps for solve ur problems :highfive:

Same issue from Telcel Mexico

I have the exact same issue, I bought today an S4 from Telcel, it was already flashed to 4.3 but I tried to do the unlock trick anyway with the 4.2 (silly me)

So i flashed the original 4.2 rom and tried to do the trick and bam, no Wifi and no sound, right now I don't have a fast connection so I will download the original 4.3 from Telcel tomorrow from my work.

So if I understood correctly I have to flashe the rom like 2 or 3 times and it will work right?

Well, fingers crossed, I'll post tomorrow my experience, wish me luck!

**************************EDIT******************************

Hi,

I already found another way in order you don't have to flash over and over, just flash the Philz Touch recovery, select "Factory Reset" and "Install a clean new rom" now you'll have to remove the battery and turn it back on on download mode, now you'll flash your rom and that's it, it'll work at the very first attempt, I already did it twice because I had to revert the changes from the free mode and it worked like a charm both times, I hope this helps to anyone else out there with the same issue

Regards.

SGH-I337M NO Sound or WIFI

I have tried everything in this forum in regards to re-flashing, the weird thing is I can flash 4.2 which boots up, but no sound or wifi, also once it boots I am able to use Kies to Upgrade the 4.4, but still no sound or wifi, if I try and flash 4.3 JB through Odin it fails every single time, I have tried multiple versions of Odin and multiple sources for the firmware file???
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Had the same issue on my Bell (Canada) and tried most of the tricks on this thread (reflashing stock a ton of times, using Philz, etc) all to no avail.

Well, I suspect it may relate to the 4.2 stock as I downloaded a 4.3, flashed it, and everything worked immediately.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dskadberg:
I think I'm having the same problem as mentioned here, but slightly different...

So I had been using Cyanogenmod 10.2 for several months there was nothing wrong with my phone. Yesterday a friend of mine was trying to help me install Sacs Rom Kit Kat 4.4.2 and we were having trouble with it, so I got back to my backup restore of CM 10.2. Stayed on that for a few hours then when I got home, figured I'd try something different, installed OMNI rom and it worked wayyy better than Sacs was. But something I noticed the entire time was:

1. Sound (Or music)

2. Dialer (I can dial but then when the call goes thru, the screen goes black, and I don't hear anything on my side, but my wife's phone rang when I called it, then after several seconds I get a notification window that "Phone has stopped working")

3. Youtube (Or for that matter any videos)

Were not working, at all in any shape, form, or fashion.

Now I have a fully functional phone but none of the above things working.

Does anybody here know if there is a simple fix? Perhaps changing a few things around? I guess going all the way back to stock and un-rooting would fix this problem? If that's true I would still rather go a simpler route.

I'm obviously a n00b so I may be a bit illiterate when it comes to this stuff so forgive me in advance.

Thanks in advance, I appreciate any help at all!!

**For what it's worth Sacs rom was giving me trouble with the Lock screen and wake-up button in almost the same manner as was my dialer on omni rom.**

***************EDIT**********************

I have a American SPH-L720 On the Sprint Network. With a KT Kernel? I believe, my friend had put it on there when I was having trouble with Sacs Rom. And I have Philz, I clean flashed to Omni Rom

Just to clarify, my WiFi, Texts, Web, Facebook, (Youtube works just won't play videos), and so far everything else is 100% fine. My phone won't crash, just freezes briefly with the dialer/phone.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crayak:
Resolved my issue. Thanks everyone.

I have a Bell I337M and ive been dealing with this issue for awhile. I thankfully finally got it resolved. I'd tried Kies, Odin gave me error and never finished a full flash. When I did get a ROM to boot, it would have no audio at all, no phone calls. and some would run really slow frequently.

Steps to my final resolution.

-Searched online for FCC # listed under battery. This gave me a better ideal of what carrier my phone originally came from. To install stock firmware. (I was installing Telus and Rogers firmware) This may not be what resolved my issue, but a step.

-Kies Firmware upgrade and initialization, I was able to install stock 4.4.2 with everything working. (I'd already done this with Kies saying success, and no audio, phone, camera, etc issues.)

-I think I my issue with Kies may also have been a mixup with serial. I confused a 3 for an 8. Also exact model name with symbols and capitalization is required: SGH-I337m

Once I confirmed everything worked I rooted with CF- Auto Root

Installed latest version of TWRP

Installed Maple Leaf

All is now well.

Lessons learned.

-Note as much as you can about a 2nd hand purchased phone before flashing, and backup.

-For peace of mind, all my phones in the future will be Google Play or Developer editions.

I hope my ramblings helps someone.

Hello

I have a Samsung GS4 sgh-I337M

and after recently updating to kitkat, my wifi stopped switching on.

I would like to ask which version of firmware should I download if my network provider isn't listed as one of the options of the firmwares.

I am having the same issues. I get no sound. I have the Bell SGH-I337M model.

From reading this thread, I believe I need to flash the stock firmware multiple times for it to stick and solve the "no sound" issue. From sammobile, I would use the firmware that is

SGH-I337M	Canada (Bell Mobile) (Black Edition)	2014 May	4.4.2	I337MVLUFNE1	I337MOYAFNE2

Like Crayak, should I get back to stock using Odin and the firmware aboev then use Kies to update?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsd79:
I went ahead and used odin to get back to unrooted stock rom from the dandvdh aosp rom. I still get music playback errors from google play music and I can't hear any sound when playing music in poweramp either. I still get the samsung boot sound though.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrMagoo123:
Thanks!

I was having this problem trying to return from a Cyanogenmod install to stock - I can't recall which firmware I was running before installing Cyanogen (either 4.2.2 or possibly 4.4.2) but Odin restores resulted in no wifi/sound until I restored using a stock Rogers 4.4.2 from Sammobile.

The culprit may have been intiially using Kies restore files (from Sammobile) as well as trying to downgrade versions inadvertently, so for anyone still having these issues try using the latest version of the firmware and restore using a non-Kies version of the firmware if you can.

Thanks everyone here for posting your experiences - I appreciate the advice!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hv6478:
Fantastic I'm glad that worked! I should try 4.3. I've flashed 4.2.2 (the most recent one from SamMobile) a few times still to no avail.

Just wondering, how were you able to verify the original carrier using the FCC #? When I search mine up, I just seem to find general info about the S4 saying which bands it runs on and so on.

Thank you in advance!

EDIT: I used the UPC to determine that it is a "ROGERS/FIDO S4". The person I bought it from said it was Rogers, so I'm going to stick with that.

When I'm flashing over and over, do I need to keep wiping or do anything specific in between? Or just reboot to download mode and do it again straight back to back?

EDIT2:

Before my softbrick occurred, I had flashed the NE1 modem through ODIN. I find now that, regardless of which ROM I flash, the NE1 modem version remains...this got me thinking, maybe the mismatch could cause the issue. Not to mention, WiFi is definitely modem-related, and I've known sound to be affected by modems on many occasions in the past. So I flashed the newest NI2 firmware from SamMobile, then confirmed the modem was still on NE1. I manually flashed NI2 modem, rebooted, no change, however now I'm going to start back the sequence of however many flashes I may need as if I were reading this thread for the first time. The only difference is, my modem will match the firmware I'm flashing each time. Hopefully this helps. Currently undergoing flash #1. It's nerve racking to get a phone call and not be able to answer it!

EDIT3:

SUCCESS!!

The modem version seems to be very important. I flashed literally 7 times in a row, the exact same NI2 firmware, but while the modem was still NE1. Didn't work. As soon as I matched up the modem version it did it. Here are my steps:

See post after.

I hope this may help some people trying to solve this. It was nice to hear it boot up finally!!

This thread was instrumental in solving the problem - thank you all!
