Hi I have a GT-i9300 that worked well over a month, after a hard reset I can do anything but when I'm on a call I have no audio either in or out.
I have checked with skype and viber and the hardware is fine. Also I have tried several firmwares (official and custom) and several modems and I still have the same issue.
I cannot apply my warranty since the phone was purchased overseas, please help me on how to fix this.
I am posting this on android development since it is more likely that some developer know how to solve this, also the thread on Q&A is dead. I apology if this is now the correct forum to post it.
Please help me to get my Galaxy back :crying:

1. Relax, it's a common issue nothing to worry about and it can be easily resolved.
2. I understand that you are panicking but development is not a right place for it. In future you may post in q&a section.
3. Are you rooted and have you played with modems lately?

Thanks for the reply
Right now I'm on the original FW again, but yes, I was rooted and tried at least 8 different modems.
Any suggestion?
Moved to Q/A, questions don't go in the development section.
I had the same symptons after updating stock firmware. Both speaker and earpiece worked fine but not in a cell phone call. You should try and let the connection to the other side last long enough and see if your cellphone modem resets like in my youtube video.

If it is like in the video than you're out of luck because with me it was an hardware error. Samsung service center could not repair that, the send it to samsung HQ. After I got it back it stated that a hardware part was replaced under warranty.
Any suggestions apart from above ones?

I saw your pm now.
If you are familiar with rooting... Root again.
And perform full wipe, install latest check rom v4. It is LG8 firmware and comes with modem.
Then share this screenshot:

That should fix your issue. Let us know if you have tried this out and it did not fix the issue.

I just fixed it by installing the latest version of an official software from UK. It started failing like before, but after 5 minutes or so it fixed by itself. Don't know why exactly, and I'd really like an explanation so I can know how this happened exactly, but has been working for over 15 hours with no issues (reboots included).
Of course I don't want to wipe again or try another software at the moment, because I don't want everything to happen again, but if someone can really tell why this happens and why it started working alone this will help a lot to know how to reverse it in case it happens again.
Thanks everyone here

Did you obtain fw trough kies? I got the same problem
I got it from samfirmware.com. however today it stopped working again for no reason... could a simple hard reset damage the hardware??? I think it's silly but I can't come up with another explanation.
Tomorrow I will try the firmware told 3 posts above and post the results. In the meantime I'm trying to find an answer of why it stopped working again...
This is frustrating, I'm located in Costa Rica and Samsung states I can only apply by warranty in Germany... so I guess I'm by myself and all of you guys trying to resolve this

Still the same issue, here is the screenshot after the full wipe and software installation.
Please advise
Hi guys. Has anyone come with a solution to this problem? I'm facing the same issue as the OP.
I was running on stock firmware, then flashed the leaked JB firmware and rooted it again. Then flashed the stock firmware again. Once I did that, I started having this problem.
Any sort of help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Similar problem. I can solve it by full wipe but when I restore application data with MyBackup Pro or in CWR nandroid backup, I lost sound in call.
It begun after flashing leaked JB ROM, then flashing original ROM via ODIN and now on CM10.
Advice?
Maybe modem problem. Try to flash different modems. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1740061

I'm having the EXACT same issue. Everything else works fine. It came out of the blue. Last thing I was running was Omega 13.1 with Siyah Kernel 1.5.3. I've had the phone for about 3 or 4 months, then about 4 days ago it started happening out of the blue. I tried flashing and wiping anything and everything you can imagine, including stock firmware. Sometimes it would work for a few calls, then back to square one. Yesterday I went to a stock firmware, then restored my Omega nandroid and it worked fine until I rebooted. I have no idea what's causing this issue and it's really pissing me off. It seems common with no fix.
I live in the US and this phone is originally from Vodafone UK, bought through Amazon sim-unlocked (real SIM unlocked, not via any app). Samsung UK is asking me for the ROM info I'm on, which I can get by flashing a stock ROM (CSC, Baseband, etc), but they're also asking me for a UK address, which is troubling.

Have the same problem. Flashed the leaked JB and now then went back to stock ICS (Meteor Ireland) from sammobile.com. Still no luck. I'm flashing every modem I can find but still no audio at all. I had some issues with the JB leak that calls sometimes (more than not) didnt work but then a reset would usually solve it.
Anyone have any ideas what else can be done?
I've read it's hardware failure and that Samsung will fix it. However if you live in a region where the phone isn't sold and you imported it through Amazon, Negri, etc, you need to contact the original seller, because Samsung won't touch it if you send it to them directly.
Have you tried wiping cache and fixing permissions? I've had lots of sound issues on JB, all went away after flashing omega 25, no problems now either on omega 27
Also try flashing the modem again, clear cache/fix perms,

Full wipe will always be an answer. However, restoring application can bring the problem again. If you want to backup the contacts just use the export to usb storage in the settings instead of using backup apps in restoring. Also try to perform fix permission.

Issue occurs even before installing the applications. Seems to be something related to the modem firmware, however each modem behaves differently but with the same issue

If there already are threads about this, please direct me to them instead of flaming. I have searched through the forums without finding anything.
I got my 10.1 WiFi about a month ago, and can't figure out why this is happening, and if it is happening to anyone else. Every ICS rom I install makes the screen flicker during boot, and it will continue to flicker until I turn off the screen, and then back on. After that there are no problems at all. I had the same issue when I install CWM recovery. I had to try 3-4 different ones, before I found one that didn't flicker.
It seems to me, that it might be kernel related, but I am not sure.
Any input is welcome.

Hey man, just got this sorted out
Try to follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1555984
Key part is that we need to unroot our tabs with North America stock. I think our "Non-NA" stock ROMs weren't really "unlocked" that's why custom kernel won't work well on them.
Super happy now with CM9 + latest pershoot kernel + latest CWM, smooth no flickering
Happy unrooting !
Make nand backup (if recovery flickers use rommanager)
Save it to PC
Wipe everything
Flash P7510UEKMP_P7510XABKMP_XAB.tar.md5 with odin
Reboot
Wipe everything again
Flash recovery.tar.md5 with odin
Reboot
Put this http://www.shabbypenguin.com/users/s0ckm0nk3y/android/acs/galaxytab10.1/Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10.1_root.zip to storage
Put nand backup to storage
flash the zip
Reboot
Restore nand
Finisch! You can now flash another recovery and any other rom without flicker
In fact there is no way to get the flickering back^^

Hello all.
I have the exact same problem as tristan202 which is
Every ICS rom I install makes the screen flicker during boot, and it will continue to flicker until I turn off the screen, and then back on. After that there are no problems at all.
I am sorry but i think that solutions bringed by "hylde" is not related to this problem but to another problem, through very similar, in clockwork recovery tool : same flickering screen.
I used the link, 2 weeks ago to solve this problem, using 5.5.0.4 version.
But the original thread problem is still unsolved. I tried other ICS roms but with same problem. I'd also like to keep root access.
Thanks to all

Well, I have almost the same problem. I am on overcome's rom, and I have a screen similar to yours. It is static, not rolling and it happens only once after reboot for two-three seconds before the lockscreen. After that it is ok, even when I lock the screen. Flashed again but nothing. I haven't found anything about that. Oh well. It may be weird but I can live with it. Has anyone encountered something like that before?

You should be good to go!
If not then you will have to flash back to stock kernel listed at the bottom of the second post or just re flash the Rom your choice, this will be nessesary if you flashed another kernel, Then go back and flash boot-cm_2636.4_ux_hc32-oc-xtra-vfpv3-d16_fp-010912.zip then you will be GTG!

thanks for the reply, ill try this as soon as i find a bit of free time
Regarding tristan202 and mine problem (flickering boot screen which stops when we press two times the power button), i tried the nightly builds 19/05 and 22/05 of Cyanogen Mod without solution.
Tristan i'll try 2905 nightly build and keep you in touch
Hello
I have investigated the problem for one week and found a solution for me
The Problem is the short distance of the Bluetooth audio transmission!
There are two settings file for the BCM4334 WIFI BLUETOOTH IC and it seems that it depends on the phone which is better.
For me it sadly was not the common used for CM10 nightly!
So i build two CWM files for you to test the differences.
Maybe we can find out on what it depend
I bought my S3 in Austria (the carrieris H3G) and for me bcm4334_semcosh works fine!
greetings
Patrick
Hi Patrick
So. I had i fine working BT audio streaming with cm 10. Then Changed to cm10.1. BT-connection was crap.
Flashed both of your files.
Aaaaaand: tataaa. the second one seems to work for me.
Thanx a lot!
so you are able to establish a audio-stream-connection longer than 1m?
This works for me! Used the second zip file listed (bcm4334_semcosh.zip) and it did the trick. Tried streaming some music from about 5m from the receiver, no problems at all! Thanks OP!
On CM10 I had excellend bluetooth audio streaming up to +/- 6 metre, on CM10.1 audio is (just) ok with max distance +/- 1 metre.
For who want to know, the Samsung bluetooth firmware files (bcm4334*) wrapped in the two packages in the first post are also in the CM 10.1 rom, see screenshot or browse to /system/bin/
Seems like the murata version is installed by default by CM 10.1.
I did a manual copy, rename and a reboot to try both files (e.g. to try the murata version, copy bcm4334_murata.hcd to bcm4334.hcd).
Both files give me the same performance I had already, sound is ok and max distance still +/- 1 metre.

But now I have the problem that when i have had a call in the car I have no sound coming out the speaker when I get called or receive mail for example. The phone needs a reboot to get sound back. Cm10.1 b.t.w. Am I the only one?

No Cell Data
I'm using Galaxy S3 Verizon with cm-10.1-20130121-EXPERIMENTAL-d2vzw-M1
I flashed both of these files using ClockWork Mod. Neither helped my performance. I still have very poor Bluetooth A2DP audio and it will cut out after about a minute of playing.
The bigger issue I'm having is that I now get zero cell phone reception. I can't make calls, send texts, or use cell data. Wifi, GPS, and bluetooth all work. I had the phone in airplane mode when I flashed the first file, but I'm thinking that wouldn't have affected it.
Any ideas on how to get back to the original bcm4334 file?
Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I actually did that and after the reboot I still don't have cell service. I even backed up all my apps and settings with Titanium. Wiped all user data and wiped cache, then flashed again. After doing the initial setup after the reboot, I still don't have cell service. I'm going to try to flash a different version of CM10.1, one of the nightly's and see if that helps any. I wish I would have done a full backup with CWM before flashing that bluetooth file

hm
yes a full wipe dont help
but if you flash CM again it is for sure overridden!
So your problem have another source.
I would guess you had flashed an other radio rom (CM dont come with Radio so new flashing has no effect on radio rom)
Also call problems are independent of the bluetooth hardware ...
I would recommend you to flash the orginal rom again and then rood again and then again flash CM but be careful as flashing is risky
greetings Patrick
Yeah I'm starting to think it was a just a coincidence that it stopped working when it did. From other threads I've found the best bet will be to indeed flash back to stock ROM and then back to CM. I'm downloading the stock ROM now found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762204
The only thing I did was flashed that semcosh.zip file using CWM though, so I'm not sure how that would have affected my radio.
Good thing it's a slow day in the office! Also, I think I'm just going to use wired headphones from now on!
---------- Post added at 03:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:37 PM ----------
Just an update. I downloaded that root66.tar and flashed it with Odin. Did a full data wipe after (because it was stuck on the Verizon 4g splash screen). Still didn't have cell connection. Then did the step 2 on this page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35600769&postcount=2
Open the dialer and enter *2767*3855#
After it did some other sort of factory reset, I finally have cell connection again. And all before I leave work for the day.

I have the same problem as you. When I disconnect from the car, all notification sounds are lost, BUT I've realized that you don't need to reboot. If you recieve a call to your phone (no email, sms or whatsapp, only a call will do the trick), it will actually ring and from then on, notifications go back to normal. It's not actually a fix, but until one comes out, it makes this issue a little less a pain in the ass.
Hope this helps. If anyone knows how to fix this for real then help is largely appreciated.
PS. My first custom ROM in S3 was CM10.1 nightly (the latest version available today) so I can't tell what happened before, but except for the mentioned issue and maybe a subtle loss in streaming quality, BT pairs and streams quite alright. Oh, and the media system in my car (Citröen C4) used to show artist and song name while streaming and doesn't anymore.
About a month ago I had issue with phone stuck on HFA. Several great people offer help to try to fix issue. Could never get problem to go away.. sent to Samsung since Knox was 0x0 and sent same phone back notes said they just flashed software.. I got it and ran good till 2 days ago.. my text wouldn't send. Everything else worked fine.. voice and data and apps.. so did the prl and profile update like sprint asked me to .. then text worked but no data... decided to do factory reset.. then issue was couldn't sign in to google(data not provisioned ).. after talking to sprint and Google they said not sure how to fix it.. only solution that worked was roll back to NAB everything working.. anyone else experience anything like this?

I would ask how's it going but here we are again. Lol I remember that, and have to say NC5 has not had that many issues. So, it ran good for about a month, then would not send a text ? Did Sprint say anything about working on a cell tower ? Nothing was changed, added, or deleted prior to it not working ? Try going to settings/connections/more networks/mobile networks/network mode/ and make sure it is on LTE/CDMA not automatic. Also when you update your PRL you have to completely power down, and then reboot the device for the PRL update to take effect I know it says update successful but that don't mean it has been applied to the device. If you go back to NC5 from NAB again your have update your PRL example : I updated to 4.4.4 today to check and see if Nh7 has a flash counter, which it does, so I went back to 4.4.2 NC5, after about 3 flashes I finally got NC5 back to official status, and than tried to download an app from Google Play it said no connection retry so I updated my PRL and rebooted the device, and my 4G LTE started working again. Where were you when it quit working ? Where you on the road out town ? If you leave town you should update your PRL it is supposed to do it automatically, but doesn't always happen.
Well I was at work and no issues got home and I got a text when I tried to reply it would not send.. I could only receive . So my 1st thought was towers since I had issues with tower close to my house several times.. after asking sprint said network was good my gf. Gs3 had no issues either .. so then tried prl and profile updates that would make my text work but my data would drop.. after a restart text would fail but data worked.. after talking to sprint and google.. ( they blamed it on rooted since they can see what apps u buy) titanium... but after going back to NAB all issues gone.. I am currently back on NC5 did a full un root version and will see. Guessing it's a NC5 issue or hardware

Ok, sounds like software, here is what I would do. Go to micmars here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2712205 and get his NC5. Now back up all your data i.e. pics, music, etc. to a ext sd card or PC desktop. Go ahead to do a factory reset. Next with odin on your PC flash a fresh copy of NC5. Now this is the IMPORTANT PART check your download mode screen should look like this :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Both lines at official status, sometimes you end up custom and official, so if not boot into your stock recovery, and use the device keys and do a factory reset again. Then odin flash a fresh copy of NC5 again. I know it seems like a lot of B.S. but I call it taking out the trash, you need to get back to stock square one. Boot it up see if the issues are gone, if so odin flash a recovery here is the link for Philz CWM 6.12.9 hltespr its bulletproof https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/hltespr/ then root your device here is the link for SupSu v 1.94 http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU/ Now if everything is working with no issues, make a backup so you can always restore back to a working OS. Let me know how it goes ?
Will rather stay on NAB or NC5 for little bit more.. warranty runs out in a week if new or old issues happen will root and break Knox to get custom rom.. only reason staying on stock was my warranty.. I was just curious to see if anyone had encounter issues like me.. also upgrading to note 4 in few weeks

Cool, been thinking about an LG G3 myself. Definitely not as many features as Note 4, but more of a pure android OS. The main features of the G3 is no KNOX, little to no bloatware, will run under water, and a removable battery.
Yea wish Samsung would make the bloatware optional.. and Knox also LG3 does look sweet also
Hy everybody. I'm here to took with you about a common problem on samsung s3. One week ago i notice that i can't receive calls, messages etc and i found the "not registered on network" problem. What actually i want to say, is the fact that it appear suddenly, my phone always have 4.3, i didn't upgrade nothing....the problem persist, i changed sim, modem.bin, flash 4.1, modified network connections from setting....nothing work!!! I always have signal but that's all....what can i do more? (and my imei has changed to this: 00499*******

My phone is a international variant, made in Vietnam, i also tryed to flash 4.1.2 I9300XXEMG4, so then i can flash MG4 modem which can still read the modified EFS...if it is modified, but didn't work.., i think i need to send the phone to a gsm/service, but maybe you guys can help me without cost me money..

thx man, i hope someone knows how can i solve the problem.
What had you done before you got to this issue of no cellular signal?
Did you flash a custom ROM etc..? Which version were you on before? 4.3?
What did you do after you found out about this issue? Did you by any chance flash an older version?
Because that tends to do that, atleast that's what happened to me.
I had a wrong/fake IMEI ("0049..."), which caused that I had no cell reception and couldn't use the phone to call or send/receive sms etc...
I googled a lot and I tried some of the TUT on the web, but nothing helped. Until I found a thread on the xda that said one could try to flash a newer stock ROM (don't know the exact thread).
So I went ahead and checked the version I was on...luckily it was 4.0.4
I then downloaded a newer stock ROM 4.3 for my region and flashed that using ODIN...once it passed I went to recovery: wiped cache and factory reset.
and voila...when I checked the IMEI code again, it was back to the original one.
If that doesn't help check the following thread on xda: here
I suspect he allowed the battery to run out, which corrupted the efs partition, as he says his phone was on 4.3 and didn't change anything until after the problem happened.
Flashing latest stock firmware is the first step, as suggested above, but I think the OP may have to pay for a repair. Make sure it works on 4.3 before you accept the bill.
I forgot to say, my battery got bigger before that happened, i can't fit it in my phone, is double than a normal one, i buy other battery, have this something to deal with the problem?

I was on 4.3 version, i didn't do nothing, i even not installed the root/cwm....the problem appeared from nothing...right before i change my battery. I tried with my region stock rom (4.1.2;romania) and with 4.3 stock ROM but didn't work.
Today i let the phone on a service....i told her what is the problem and i hope there's nothing to do with motherboard. Anyway, please let me know if there's something else to do while i wait 3-4 days for the answer

That's not good...bulging/expanding battery is a very bad thing and should be replaced asap.
Why it happens, is another thing...could be due to various reason such as thermal runaway or even acid leakage.
Fix that first before you move to any flashing and/or other stuff...

I already replaced it.
Fixed
Hi everybody, i finally sent the phone to service and they fixed it for 17€; everything ok, no problem occurred...i flashed stock 4.3 ROM, then CWM and SU, but....then....after one day of use, i forgot to shut down the phone and, again, removed the battery with the screen on....i connected quickly the battery and the phone started without press any button.....and then, surprise!!! Me trying to make a phone call: "Not registered to network"...fu**...but IMEI was still alright(w t f?). Third day i sent again the phone to the service and they told me that i am playing whit the soft (what man? just because i flashed CWM and SU? damn), i told them again what i do with the battery and they said is not true (now what i am supposed to do? they don't trust me) but fixed it again free..for first and last time. Now here is the question: what i need to back up in case that will happen again? It can't be fixed with a backup of IMEI/Modem file...
Go read the sticky thread in general forum.
Note: I am not affiliated to the Dev team of this ROM, just a Note 7 user who would like to share the ROM with everyone here. Hence, NO dev support will be provided.
Some elements of the UI/ROM options are in Chinese, but I will not be providing translations unless there is demand. Thank you for your understanding
A Chinese dev team has recently released an Oreo port for the Note 7, and hence I am sharing it here for everyone to enjoy.
The original Dev thread (in Chinese): Here
Once again, I am not affiliated to the Dev team, so don't direct any questions/bugs as I will not know how to solve them.
Most of the info listed below is translated from the original thread.

FAQ section (translated from the original dev thread)
Q: Google play services keeps stopping
A: Go to app permissions in settings and enable location access for Google play services.
Q: Unable to sync Google contacts
A: Go to app permissions -> Contacts, and enable all 3 settings for Google play services.
Note: The ROM comes with Google Play store installed but disabled by default. Refer to bomcoi1402's comment to see how to enable it.
Can you help me to install Google services? (Google play, Gmail, Maps, Google account manager, ...)
Thank somuch!
Update: I was installed. In Aurora app.
Hey guys, if you like using your device, DO NOT INSTALL this rom, it has a lot of chinese apps, and if you try to flash another rom your device would constantly be restarting itself.
I couldn't figure how to install google ?
After checking Aurora App setting WHAT?
Can you help me ?
I installed a gapps but Play services Stopped. @bomcoi1402
@IcyDevil_ can you translate FAQ section?
Edit: Thx for answers I will try again
10 cmt for upload picture
@ReTekno: do not install gApps. You can factory reset, then see pictures and do it.

Are you sure we installed the same ROM? As far as I can see, the only Chinese app installed is the ROM settings, no others. Not quite sure about the flashing another ROM part, but have you done a full wipe before flashing? Dirty flashing may cause issues sometimes so it's not recommended to dirty flash.

Yes i installed the same ROM, i did a full wipe and i still have random restarts. Thanks to this ROM i can't use my phone anymore. I'll see if i'll manage to get it working eventually.
You can try it.
Only one problem, this is don't push notification of Facebook, Messenger, Zalo.
I still don't know how to fix it.

You can easily fix it by uninstalling the brevent app
Brevent prevents apps from running in background that is why when your screen is off you wont get any push notifications

Sadly i don't think there is a solution, I tried everything, factory reset, full wipe, re-root, nothing works, still getting random restarts, and the worse is happening whenever i try to update or install any apps, either from play store or from galaxy apps. Thanks to this crap, i now have an unusable brick of a note7.

And who asked you to do this? It looks a lot like a personal problem to me. I am running the other Chinese Oreo ROM for a long time with no problems. Tried this one too and it was good, but I just didn't want to fix all the Chinese again. I might try the Aurora kernel when I have the time.
I really suggest you study all the information available on this forum before you share nothing but frustrated rants. BTW, I can't see a way how you can brick this phone permanently. In the worst of all cases there is always Odin.

What made you think i have a personal problem or that this simply is a frustrated rant? I simply told my experience in trying this ROM, and apparently i'm not the only one having issues with it. Due to all the chinese apps, and various other issues, i simply didn't like this ROM, and when i tried to flash another ROM, i got the problems i mentioned. I've been installing ROM's on my various phones for many years now, i'm not a noob when it comes to rooting, ROM's and other custom things you can do to and android device. I tried ODIN aswell, and still no changes, so i simply voiced my opinion. Next time try to be less frustrated yourself, and less judgy.

Well, there is a long line of posts by you in this thread that are indicating that you should not have started using a device that has been withdrawn by the manufacturer.
BTW, I did not mean to say YOU have a problem (how would I know?). I simply wanted to say your problems should not be generalized as indicative of what can be done with this device.
I still don't see any reason why you can't flash back an older Android 7 version with Odin and have a flawless, Chinese free experience of this nice device until it dies. Again, the problems you are describing are related to your device or environment, not to the Note7 per se.
In fact, I would like to understand, how you initially overcame Samsung's blocking of the phone and how you proceeded since then. This would provide an indication what might have gone wrong. Your ranting does not.
And only so you understand, I am writing this on my Note7 with the Soul Vip11 Oreo ROM where I added my own mods to eliminate 99% of the Chinese crap and the pay wall. Once I 8did a TWRP backup and installed this ROM without any problem and played around with it for a while until I restored my old one,again no problem. There was no incentive for me to polish up this ROM and install all my apps again, would have been a total waste of time.
This should explain to you, that those Chinese ROMs might be a PITA, but they are also not intended for us Westerners. So if you can't handle them, simply don't go there.

Maybe you didn't understood what i wrote in my first post. What i said was that i installed this ROM, tried to use it, and due a lot of chinese apps, i couldn't get used to it, so i flashed the ROM i was using before, and that's when the problems began. Random restarts, device would freeze up. I did backup, full wipe, factory restore, re-did the entire root process, I even tried ODIN, without any luck. Before installing this ROM, my device worked flawlessly, It was rooted before installing this, with the Nougat Note FE ROM, no issues. So for me this ROM messed up my device in some way.

All I can say: Do a TWRP backup first if you want to experiment. Has been said on XDA thousands of times. And READ the OP fully before you jump into it.
And if I had your problem, I am quite sure I would fix it silently myself. You may have to format (not wipe). Also, a remaining SAMSUNG function in the bootloader may try to keep you from going back to NOUGAT, so as a last option you might have to live with one of the Chinese OREO ROMs before you figure out what to do.
In any case, the real experts (besides the Chinese) have all moved on. Nobody around anymore who would help you. And I obviously don't like your style... :silly:
