I've rolled back to 290. The wifi issues are just so bad I couldn't take it. Other things I was happy to plod through.

From the feedback I have gotten and personal experience, sound wise if you got to 136 you will lose the Sound Enhancements options from working on other apps but Walkman and also even with Walkman, it won't apply to flac files any more.
I went back to .290 (accidentally but happy that it happened) and got back full use of the Sound Enhancements feature.

Im still in 290 but before i want to update to 136, so many people reported bugs in it...i just feel in doubt...i guest 136 in not so much as an update....no major changes i suppose to change...hope sony fix that...thanks for the feedback...

I take this back. AFter flashing the 6802 version of the rom (which is my phone) I got the FLAC and other apps again working with Sound Enhancements.

I have personally tried .136 firmware flashed 3 different ROMS but every time when i load titanium backup My sd card gets unmounted. Even formatted sd card with no luck. it gets repeatedly unmounted and mounted by itself in continuously. I am using 64 GB ex-fat card, same card working really good with .290 without any issue. So just rolled back to .290 again.

Well, this is still not right even with 6802. I used it for hours, after restoring all the apps I needed. At one point during restoring, I lost the feature again but I uninstalled the last apps I restored and it came back.
Then I finished restoring all apps I wanted again (never figured out how I lost it) and used the phone, restarting several times to test it and all good.
But when I finally decided to log in to google and it started restoring the "google" back stuff on its own, I lost it and couldnt make it come back.
I did a back up right after my apps where restored and it was working so I am going to go back to that back up then log in to Google again and this time NOT let it restore previous data etc.
I doubt this has anything to do with it but the fact is, it was working for hours with several reboots included until I restored google for some odd reason.
The mystery continues.....

[Q] No Sounds (Ringer, Notifications, Alarm, Music, Video, etc.)

Hey folks, I've done a bit of searching, but I've yet to find anyone with this specific issue with my VZW S4.
All of a sudden I do not have ANY sounds what so ever....I've tried working with settings (sounds, adapt sounds, etc.), rebooting, clearing cache with CWM, pulling the battery. I do have sound from headphones.
Yesterday evening I went to a doctors appointment and muted/put phone on vibrate (don't remember which) and noticed when I got home and returned to normal sound mode in the pulldown that I no longer had any sounds....
I have a Rooted stock MDK...I have not cleared or wiped to factory settings and I've never installed a custom ROM....only rooted and have CWM Recovery (did this about two weeks ago).
Any clue/ideas as to what this could be? Will wiping with CWM clear it up? If I wipe to factory settings, will lose root?
Same issue

Well, I performed a factory rest with CWM Recovery.....no luck. Still no sounds at all....no notification, speaker, alarm, ringer, etc.
Has anyone else experienced this besides the above poster??
Maybe try restoring stock MDK through Odin. Then re-root. Make sure you don't take the OTA though.

Ahhh...I should have know.
I've tried a number of things with no luck.....it seems to be a hardware issue. Verizon is overnighting a new (by new, I mean slightly used, right?) S4. Hoping it will be a MDK and not ME7, but I don't have my hopes up.....
Now on to deleting root apps, Triangle Away and Unroot to stock.....
This thread can be closed.... Verizon is sending a replacement.

No Sound At all
Sorry to revive but I wanted some advice
I bought my S4 with VRUAMDK firmware used hence I seriously doubt I can ask Verizon to replace it.
when I got it it tested fine I made calls
after rooting it just stopped making any sounds or phone calls, (I'm pretty certain I followed the rooting instructions correctly)
tried unrooting, going back to stock and rerooting and trying several ROMS I still have no sound whatsoever no headphones nothing, it does eventually detect the headphone if plugged in, even in the diagnostic menu sound doesnt work
I can browse using mobile data I can attempt a call and the other phone rings but the dialer doesnt work after placing the call the phone hangs or restarts sometimes.
everything else works I can send and receive text messages, emails, cameras work. etc
if this is a hardware issue what needs to be replaced? any idea whats the best way to get this fixed?
If I need to start a new thread let me know

Thanks for that report, now we know that it wasn't the rooting method that killed Sound Enhancement.
Is it dead or only working with Walkman?
That is what I have noticed after moving to 136.
It only works with Walkman and does not apply to flac files any more so I ended up with all MP3s and using only Walkman as my player for now.
I stream music. Sliders work but there's no effect on sounds. I check apps running and it's not there. Anyone tried factory reset?

This, lol. I'm STILL on 4.2.2, firmware 532. :laugh:
I refuse to update/upgrade until 4.4 Kitkat has been officially released, rooting is EASY and doesn't involve downgrading and causing headaches in doing so...
Current rooting methods take too long to do, it's a pain in the ass!
I did try 4.3 but found no noticeable differences and downgraded to 4.2 again.

I haven't tried factory reset, because I plan to root now after this & I don't want to re set up the phone, but I stream also. Tune in, Sirius xm, Google music, what I've been doing is dialing my voicemail during music playback to get the eq active / working. Although It doesn't stick a few records loud are better than nothing...

What is the current method of rooting .136 if your bootloaders locked, if any? I was reading about flashing .136 FW infused with root then installing SU from memory card, with locked bootloader, but I thought you needed your BL unlocked before one could flash anything on the ZU???

There is a way to root 136. However, it involves downgrading to firmware 532, rooting, flashing and so fourth. It's easier rooting using an unlocked bootloader, however, you still need to downgrade in order to root.

OT but i'll continue as it may need a little clarification...
If you root 532 and then unlock the bootloader you should never have to downgrade and root again, just wait a week or so for the next upgrade path to become stable in keeping root, but it will normally just be flash FTF, flash recovery, flash SuperSU and maybe a patched kernel (I think well will need another patched kernel for the 4.4 stock update - just a feeling)
If you root 532 and cant unlock the BL, you will have to wait for the devs to build a stock based ROM with SuperSU cooked in, and follow their instructions closely, but again you shouldn't ever have to downgrade and root again if you wait for the Stock ROMs to appear. It tock all of 3? days for the 136 update to have rooted ROMs on the forum
I had the same problem as the OP after the update. Only owned the phone a matter of hours then connected it to my PC to down load files and the Phablet updated then the problems started?
Not uncommon in the technology industry but non the less rather annoying.:crying:

So far only I have seen one person claiming that it works fine for him....I am waiting for the 6802 version of NUT rom to see if that gets me fully working again but not expecting much.
It's a bug, usually sound enhancement work with everything, this update only makes it wrk with Walkman, restarting phone sometimes makes it work again with everything but once u stop playing music it goes bck to being buggy as he'll.it's annoying.

UPDATE!
I got sound enhancement working with 136 for FLAC and any other app. As I recalled I had other issues before when running non 6802 ROMS on my phone, I was still holding on to some hope that a 6802 based 136 ROM would be the one that will work...and IT DID!
I just flashed the 136 from the NUT thread and it is all working great.
Well how for stock non rooted:'(

Slight Update Issues?

I don't know if these issues I've been having relate to the latest update, but I've noticed 1) a slightly decreased battery life 2) automatic brightness being too bright compared to before the update and 3) I've just gotten 2 random reboots tonight. Also the occasional SystemUI crashes I've mentioned before.
I don't know if any of these are caused by any apps or modifications I have, or the update itself, but I was just wondering if anyone else possibly had any of these issues.

I did a factory reset before updating, which is why it really puzzles me. There should've been nothing "left over" to cause these issues.

Maybe you had bad software from the beginning. I know you have been mentioning ui crashes since I've been on the mate 2 threads.
Use a base that has reported no errors. Do you have a clean backup of your b126 or b148? Maybe we can test this theory of mine. I could restore yours and see if I get the same ui crashes.

^This is an excellent idea that would rule out hardware issues if there are also crashes. If Kid_Ding gets no crashes using your software, then that would suggest hardware issues (bad ram or sdcard?) on your device.

I have only had ui crashes and random reboots after modding. My issue is modding too much at one time. I now load a couple of things at a time then check stability. I also think some one else complained of battery issue after upgrade but I think they narrowed it downto some added program. Sorry don't rember what thread.

Unofficial T.W lollipop Roms (MAY) have broke LTE!?

Well I have been using these builds and now my LTE is is completely broke. I have the 4glte icon and called customer care and they said my network is fine. Now I might have to send my T-Mobile S5 in for repair. I have been working on it for 8 hour doing factory resets and unrooting
And nothings bringing it back . I installed all the 5.0 builds exactly how op said to and didn't do any mods of any kind. Hope this isn't going to happen to more folks who are using unofficial 5.0 releases.

I have ran my international rom and restored my backup and found this to be a issue.
Upon restoring I have 5 bars...but, no icons what so ever. I rebooted and all returned to normal.
As for you.....when you unrooted did you Odin back to stock? LTE is tied to the bootloader, not the modem.
This is the main reason I'm not building 5.0 until T-Mobile drops our official firmware.

Yes I odin back to stock. Out of box stock and didn't root for a while just to let it settle. I have the icon for 4glte but I'm only getting 2g and edge speeds. I went driving around even went to T-Mobile store where I no they get 4glte and nothing the sales person at T-Mobile was confused as well. He thinks its shot as well. I'm going to mess with it for a couple of more days to see what happens cause I don't want a refurbashed phone that I paid 690 bucks for. If it don't get fixed I'm just going to make the jump.
P.S You all be careful with those TW LP unofficial roms. I should have waited for the official build from T-Mobile. Just saying. Don't get me wrong the devs did great work but I don't think they're even aware of this. I didn't want to post in there threads and make them up set. And really I don't know which one actually broke it. There like 4 of them I tried. I use WiFi most the time I should have been more wise

Makes me wonder whether or not you got a funky modem in all your testing, and it's stuck. Sometimes it can be crazy hard to get a modem to stick when upgrading. No telling what might be happening when downgrading. Sorry about your issues but thanks for the heads up.

Yeah I'm thinking the same thing. Between all the back and forth from 5.0 to 4.4.2 and just 5.0 to 5.0. And international back to regular T-Mobile. I'm thinking something was corrupted or just plain fried . I went completely back to the latest bootloader K2 and modem and the LTE is just gone. But like I said I still get the 4glte icons in status bar and it all looks good but then when I run test speed test and other test it shows I'm only running at 2g or even edge speeds its super slow and I've even rerooted and tried other custom Roms from 4.4.2 that worked great before I started messing around with these unofficial TW LP 5.0 Roms. Its very odd for sure I see myself having to go ahead and do the jump but hey I'm not mad at anyone one of those devs that ported these tw 5.0 Roms over to our SM-G900T's they always tell us to flash at own risk and besides I think I'm ready to move on from s5 at this point anyways time to move to a new territory..

Yes I have used yours as well @The Sickness. But I think your was the latest KitKat NH5 ROM and I'm actually back to it now I've never had any issues with you ROM. It just seems that the LP 5.0 ported Roms that are actually international are the one that gave me this issue. Its been two days now and still LTE is non existent. Im going to hold off till wensday and try a few more things to see if I can get this worked out. If not then that's why I have the jump deal I'll just have to either send it in for repair or just jump to another device.
I could just wait for the actual release of the 5.0 firmware for SM-G900T and try that and maybe by some miracle that will solve the LTE issue.

After using one of the 5.0 ports, I tried to nandroid back. This resulted in a full system force-close. I was able to install a CM11 ROM (no gapps, skip set up) because this is how I've fixed this force-close issue before. I restored nandroid again (NK2 rooted), still had a full system force close. So I then used Odin (yuck had to boot into windows, I wish they would fix heimdall for Linux), and that did fix my system force-close. What's more, since the NK2 tar does not wipe any data, my phone was just like before I started this whole exercise. EXCEPT I had no LTE or WiFi. What fixed it was I odined back to NK2, once Odin was done I pulled the battery and factory reset (do not auto-reboot). The new Odin tars don't wipe data like the old days with the S2/3/4. After the factory reset I noticed that I still didn't seem to have a good LTE or WiFi signal, but I had to drive home. I did not log in to my Google account and set the phone up, i just got in my car and split. On that 40 minute drive home, I noticed LTE kick in. I tested it by loading a random YouTube video. The video loaded up quick and with good quality, so I knew I had LTE. When I got home I connected to my WiFi, the signal seemed normal. At that point I decided to Odin CF Autoroot and TWRP. Once I did that I was able to restore my nandroid that I had made that morning, and luckily it worked perfectly and the LTE and WiFi have been great since. I don't know if you've tried this, but if you haven't, I hope it works for you.

I also had problems going back by nandroid from LP roms with the result in android crashes. Since I still keeps a rom on my phone just in case of issues like this and was able to get lte back and use titanium to extract my nandroid for all my saved data. I guess we just have to be a bit more patient or just invest into a nexus.

I tried the following: while back on 4.4.2 I reflashed NK2 bootloader and Modem vua Odin. When the phone restarted i ticked off Wifi and Wifi calling. Ran a speed test and got these results. I believe it may have something to do with wifi calling. You may have a better idea being a dev. Let me know how it goes.

My phone still works but as for getting at anything through data when I'm not able to use WiFi its about useless for that now. I'll keep you all updated. Also I will show a screen shot of my speeds later. I'm obviously back on KitKat stock ROM now . I'm staying the heck away from TW LP till we get an official build. If that ever happens..lol

I tried the following: while back on 4.4.2 I reflashed NK2 bootloader and Modem vua Odin. When the phone restarted i ticked off Wifi and Wifi calling. Ran a speed test and got these results. I believe it may have something to do with wifi calling. You may have a better idea being a dev. Let me know how it goes.

That was about the speeds I was getting before this nightmare started from my house . I will post a screen shot of my speeds.

You've probably done this already, but just in case... Have you tried soft-bricking your device? Maybe factory reset and wipe system, don't install anything, then restart and let it bout loop for a few minutes, then Odin NK2? Have you tried installing CM11?

Yes I have done all of the above thanks though ,good suggestion.☺
Like I said earlier, I'm just going to hold off on trying to fix this, I've done just about everything I can think of to resolve this issue.
I'm just going to wait for official release of 5.0 and see if that resolves it. If not I'm going to go ahead and use my jump and upgrade to another device.

I have installed a few of the international lollipop ROMS and have not had any issues with LTE that's weird that u guys are here is my speed test as u can see mine are normal

BroadAnywhere

I haven't used my S4 since December because I started having problems. Phone became very unresponsive, apps randomly closing, the camera fails to work and the sound has completely stopped. Ever once in awhile the phone will revert back and work perfectly but 10 minutes later it's back to being a brick. Today I read and found the Broadanywhere virus on my phone that I think has been the problem with the phone for the longest time now.
I removed it with CM Security but still having problems.

If I were you, I would do a factory reset using Odin.

This may be your best bet. Get the full wipe Odin tar and follow the steps in the guide, just search for the odin files for your bootloader/build/baseband.
I've officially lost all hope for this piece of ****.
ODIN'd full wipe NC5 and the phone still doesn't work properly. Camera still doesn't. No sound. Wifi sucks. Laggy as hell.

Sounding more like a hardware issue at this point.

I've been thinking that since the beginning. The camera started working tonight whilst out at a bar. And the sound randomly came back on but since have stopped.... again!
