Hey guys. A couple days ago I started having connection problems. I was running s-off infection 2.7 when I was having this problem. Turning wifi on results in the toggle getting greyed out, and 4g works, but calls and texts do not. I updated to the latest infection 2.8.1 rom and it was working at first, when the rom first booted up, and then randomly calls and texts stopped working, and the status bar actually shows no bars, but 4g still works from time to time. I think I need to reflash the newest radio for it. The one I am currently running is 2.22.10.0801r. If anyone has a newer one or the same radio that is flashable from amonra recovery that would be helpful. Thank you.

Here is the latest Firmware for the rez.
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=13858035200388235270
Keep in mind, this is not the radio only it is the Firmware update (radio, hboot, latest stock recovery Ect..)
Must be Renamed to PH98IMG and flashed from Sd card
Ok. Thank you. Do you know what radio version is included in this? I was hoping for just a flashable radio I could try instead of the entire firmware...

Here's a link to the updated firmware (including radios) but with boot.img and recovery removed so you don't lose root or data. A link to download just the radios is also somewhere in the same thread.
Edit: It would probably be better if I actually pasted the link.

Great Thank you!!
EDIT: For some reason after flashing this my baseband version shows 2.23.10.0123r, 2.23.10.0803r. Calls/text/4g are working now, but I also replaced the back housing with another I had lying around. Wifi still does not show any networks and stays greyed out. Any ideas?
The problem. Every time I try to make a call through either the phone app or google voice. When ever I try I get a black screne and my phone locks up. The call goes through. But there is no sound on either end. The only way to unfreeze my phone is for the other end to hang up.
I'm currently running TWRP 2.6.3.0 custom recovery.
I'm currently using the Dirty Unicorn du_jftlevzw_2013-10-16
I tried Hyperdrive first. Which was working fine for a while. Then every time I rebooted I would get stuck on the Samsung Custom paddle lock screen. Which would require me to re-install it, so I could use my phone. Obviously this was not working for me.
Then I tried Dirty Unicorn w/ the 20130813 gapps. Everything was working great until I realized I couldn't make any calls.
Then I tried installing JellyBeans_B7. Still had the same problem. everything working fin, except for the fact that I cant make calls. Exact same behavior.
When back to Dirty Unicorn.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I Odin'ed back to the factory image. seems to have fixed the problem

Did you flash a non-holos radio? Because I did and the same thing happened to me, I flashed the me7 non-holos to my mdk phone.... bad idea. To fix it I flashed the mdk non-holos. Now I just flash radios without the non-holos.bin and all is good.
Hi. I've got a challenge for the experts
I have a galaxy s4 (i9505) and currently on cyanogenmod 11-20140414-nightly so its running on 4.4.2
The minute i got my phone, i put foxhound rom and was on4.2.2 that time and everything was fine. It was about june last year. A couple of weeks ago, i decided to have a go at other roms or update to 4.4.2 so i tried foxhound rom that ran on4.4.2. This is when the problems started. The first problem was the signal was greatly affected that i could not get any signal indoors. So i tried several other roms like omega rom, cyanogenmod, wanamlite, wicked, virgin rom and several others but none of them perfectly worked. I always cleared cache and restore factory settings but still there were problems. On some roms the camera wont work as if there is another app using it. On others, i cant get any signal even though im in an area where i used to get strong signals. Another big problem is that i cant make a call! The screen goes black and can't do anything until the call gets disconnected. I can't use voice services like skype, ym, everything that uses the mic as if there is an app or service using it. When i put the jack to use the headset, i dont get the notification that im on headset unlike before.
So i decided to use stock rom on 4.3. Now i have even bigger problems. In addition to the previous problems stated, the wifi won't turn on but i can get a signal outside. Even though i have already removed the microsd card and wiped cache and restore to factory settings, the phone still says that the device was modified so i can't really return it even though it is still under warranty.
So now i decided to root it again and temporarily use cyanogenmod since the wifi works, texts and the internet works.
Btw, youtube doesnt work also. It doesnt play.
Sorry for the vrry long post but i just want to give much info as possible..
Thanks so much

So, which type of rom do you want to be on, assuming most of the things work properly? I don't want to try to address all those issues because there are different ones for the different setups and would take forever. Most likely signal issues are from not using a matched modem with the firmware / rom you are running. Do you know the original carrier / region the phone is from so we can make sure you get the right stuff installed?
Please provide details on the the currently installed baseband version. Also, what is the last official version of Samsung's software that you installed via Odin or OTA (not via custom rom)?

Thanks for your reply.
The current cyanogenmod is fine although i prefer the virgin rom. but i can go back to virgin once the problems have been rectified.
I agree that the signal issue has something to do with the modem so i tried different modems using odin but the XXUBMEA wouldnt change despite trying several modems and several times.
The phone is on three network (uk) with its current baseband 19505XXUBMEA.
The official rom i tried was on 4.3 and kies said it was the latest
Thanks again
Alright, I'm with ya so far. I'll look into the rom situation when I get back in front of the PC, but the trick with updating the modem is you gotta flash it twice in a row before you reboot unless you flash official firmware.

Thanks again for replying.
What i havent actually tried (which i'm reading at the moment) is the formatting of data under the advanced options on twrp. I dunno if it will make a difference say i try a new rom. I don't mind trying and starting from scratch. Like format data then install a new rom. Do u think this will make a difference? (will this be similar to formatting a dard drive on a pc before installing windows?)
What i suspect is there is nothing wrong with the roms i've tried but something in the installation got messed up and remains there even after wiping the data.
I think i have tried doing it twice only to find out that it didnt change the modem despite odin saying pass.
Should i format data then install a fresh rom?
Hard
but challeng refused
Ok, so there is something odd here. If you had flashed the official 4.3 via Odin, your modem would have changed to a newer one. The one you have is still a 4.2.2 one. Or were you referring to the last stock rom that you loaded with a custom recovery? Also, which recovery are you using?
Try this modem via Odin:
http://d-h.st/Kwv
Install Guide:
Use Odin v3.04
Untick Autoreboot
Flash modem
Reboot once again into Download Mode using (Vol Down plus Home button combi)
Flash Modem once more
Once done,unplug then reboot device manually.
If this doesn't work, try repeating the flash process again while rebooting manually and with auto-reboot option turned off.
Reference thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192025
Let's see if that doesn't help anything and go from there.
If you have issues with wifi, there is a wifi fix to be had in the reference thread. Remember to flash that through the Phone slot if needed.
thanks again.
i can't exactly remember what modem i had when i flashed it with the official 4.3 using odin. but my guess would be the XXUBMEA. most of the custom roms i've tried had this modem anyway. some had no problems with 3g signal.
i am using twrp.
i don't want to play around with the modem yet as the 3g and wifi signals are working fine on cyanogenmod. its the call and video that's not working that i want to sort out.
do u think if i reflash by formatting data would clear out the problems i specified earlier? i don't mind trying this if u think it will make a difference.. tthanks.

The custom roms you've been using don't install a modem with them, so that would be why you've been on the same one for a bit. Often times the stock rom is a little more picky about which modem it likes best, though this varies by phone and update. What call issues are you having? There were so many issues listed for various things on the first post that I had trouble sorting which problem for which rom (not criticizing, just making sure we're on the same page). And as far as videos go, is it just YouTube that isn't working right or any type of video playback? If it is just YouTube - is it force closing, not loading searches or videos, or some other problem?

thanks again for your interest.
the issue about the modem is somehow clear. thanks for clearing that up.
i think it is better to tackle the problems i have in my current setup rather than the previous problems. so, as previously mentioned, i am on cyanogenmod 11 (on 4.4.2). here are some of the problems i am aware of or rather, those that i have experienced:
1. calls - whenever i dial a number, the screen goes black as if the phone is next to my ear (could there be something wrong with the proximity sensor? i haven't done anything to rectify this yet though. when this happens, i can't do anything as the seems to hang although i could see the call timer working. during that call however, i can't hear a sound nor the person i just rang. same thing happens when someone calls me. my phone vibrates (because there is another problem with the sound which i will discuss next) and when i answer it, i hear no sound and the screen goes black and i couldn't do anything with the phone. i have to wait till the caller disconnects before the phone becomes useable again.
i tried calling using viber and the same thing happens.
2. sound - phone is muted even though all the volume controls are midway or almost 100%. i tried changing the ringing tone but i don't hear any sound at all. normally, when i switch to a different ringtone, it should give me a preview of what the chosen sound is like.
3. videos - it doesn't work. when i go to youtube, it opens up the site, opens the selected youtube clip, tries to play it but pauses then tries to play again then pauses until i get a message saying "there was a problem while playing. touch to retry."
so far these are the problems i have faced.
sorry for the long post again.
Hmm. Seems weird that you are having so many issues that most others aren't having, at least not since some of the earlier builds. During the install of CM, did you wipe /system? If not, I definitely would just start fresh. Install the most up to date modem. Wipe everything (system, data, cache, dalvik). Use the most up to date CWM (I like TWRP most of the time, but since CM says you should try CWM before reporting issues, it's one of those things...) Some Samsung proximity sensors aren't that accurate and really don't work well with CM. Other users reported that issue i the main CM thread for your phone, but was definitely not prevalent. I had a Samsung phone that I couldn't use a tempered glass screen protector with as they had an app to install to test to see how sensitive it was and mine didn't pass the test, though it worked for everything else.
As far as the video bug. It affected some earlier builds and other roms based off of CM but I hadn't seen anyone commenting about it for a bit so can't imagine it still being a common issue as that's a deal breaker for most. It might just be easier at this stage to either go back to stable CM 10.2 or try another rom altogether, such as Slim.

i know. i don't really want to blame these issues i've mentioned to the rom i am using or have tried. perhaps there was something i did not do or overdid that messed it all up. the cynagenmod 10 (the stable version for my s4 model) had similar issues as the cm11. so i suspect the problem i've created still lingers within my phone that messes up a lot of things.
during installation, i did wipe the system, data, cache and dalvik which i found in the advanced menu.
the thing is, everything else worked fine when i was on 4.2.2 (like the proximity sensors, videos, sounds, etc) so as i said earlier, i don't want to blame it on the roms.
i might have another go on the slim rom tonight but use CWM instead of TWRP.

Do you have a screen protector or anything like that? Sometimes if it isn't laying on the screen right or dirt gets around it, it can cause issues. There's also a way to pop out the actual proximity sensor and clean between the part and the little piece of clear glass on the back of the front piece of glass that can help too if it ends up being hardware related.

I put the screen protector when i got the phone and i don't see any visible dirt so i wouldn't want to blame it either. Although i did read about the screen protectors causing problems. But the thing is, even youtube or any videos do not play. Even any sound.
I've tried the slimkat rom by following the developers' instructions and still no youtube, no sound, can't make a call as i can't hear the person i'm calling nor can that person hear me.
Any other suggestions on what to do? I don't mind going back to stock as long as i get all the features back. I went to official 4.3 before but had more severe issues. Or perhaps i did it wrong?
Thanks..
Videos are another issue, but I still think the call problems and such are modem related. What I would do would be to wipe everything, then use Odin to install official Kit Kat, then test this stuff out and see if it works. If so, then you can do a nandroid and redo recovery and try the roms again, then if they still have that issue then your phone just doesn't cooperate with CM roms or something weird like that. If it doesn't work even after official 4.4.2, then there's probably something else going on, possibly hardware related.

Got hold of the official 4.4.2 and flashed it via odin. Failed. But tried again and now working fine. Sound is back, video is back as well as calls. Just the annoying google search failing all the time.
The baseband it has is I9505XXUFNC9. i didn't install any modem in odin though. Just flashed in the pda section the tar file
Now i don't know whether to root this again and try custom roms or leave it as it is. I saw knox by the way but haven't installed it. Or is it pre installed? I have little knowledge about knox
So here is the problem. I was trying to install an AOSP rom on my safestrapped s4. I had a back up of my stock NC5 rom. Anyway I restored from that and now only text and call dont work. Well text works breifly but 4g drops about 90 seconds in it drops to 3g, 4g comes back bit now no text. Calls dont work from staart just hangs at dialing and then closes gracefully. I am posting this from mobile data. Please help. Dont want to odin back if i dont have to.
Edit:i should add that wifi doesnt work until i flash gogolies nc2 modules. Though build in about shows nc5 i tried flashing nc5 modules just breaks wifi.

With all that has been discussed in these forums about AOSP roms not working with the safestrap solution and probably borking your phone, why in heck would you do this?
I think you will have to Odin.

Ok well, I can post the threads which I followed. All have seen if not full close to full functionality. I was installed GPE 4.4.4 also tried 4.4.2
Also never had an issue restoring from SS. Thanks for the helpful response.
I had some stuff to do tonight so I just got a chance to mess with the phone again. I tried flashing the NC5 modules over to see if that would fix it, It did not, also broke wifi. To get the phone back to a mostly functional state with at least wifi i reflashed the NC2 modules over my stock rom, this brought back wifi and to my surprise solved the text and call issues... I think it was an issue with the wrong modem being flashed. anyway please close the thread.
This seems to be a weird issue that I'm having, and I hope I'm not missing a step...
Anytime I install a custom rom past 4.1.2; I get no phone audio. I can load up web pages fine, SMS/MMS works to my knowledge, but there is no phone audio. I'll call my house phone, and it will ring the house phone, but I cannot hear myself through the other line. I've tried flashing radios/modems, different combination of ROMs and kernels, and the only way I'm able to keep an active phone, that is able to make phone calls, is to stick with a stock ROM.
My first thought is maybe it thinks it's an unlocked phone? And that's causing it to act up, but I've never had an issue like this before. Any help would be appreciated.

What is your specific device model?
What have you tried to flash exactly?
Who is your carrier?
Are you flashing clean with all wipes?
Are you letting rom settle?

Apologize for the delay - been busy at work. I guess I could've been clearer.
I am using the SGH-i717 on AT&T. By stock, I meant a Touchwiz-based rom (i.e., Padawan JB). I have no problems with making or receiving phone calls. Whenever I flash a ASOP-based rom, (i.e., LiquidSmooth, BeanStalk, etc.) I have intermittent phone issues. The phone issues I'm having is not having audio when making or receiving phone calls. I know that it is actually placing the call, but I cannot hear the person on the other end, nor can they hear me. Now if I go into network operators, and select an operator that I know isn't going to work (i.e, Verizon, or T-Mobile), and then use "Choose Automatically", sometimes that works for a little bit. However, that has been working less and less now.
My process of flashing includes flashing the rom of choice after a full wipe and reset (right now, it's LiquidSmooth 4.4), wiping the cache and dalvik a couple of times, installing Polluti0n's rom patch, wiping cache and dalvik a couple of times, then installing PA Stock 4.4 Gapp, and finishing the whole process by wiping cache and dalvik a few times more. This is all done through gimmeitorilltell's TWRP Recovery 2.8.0.0
As stated before; I have no issues with Touchwiz-Based roms. I can make and receive phone calls with no problems. Also, before I rooted the phone, i updated it through Kies; so I assume that would update it to the latest radio available. That would be my first suspect, but I'm having difficulty finding a flashable radio for the device.
There also might be a step I'm missing, since all my experience previously with rooting and flashing came on CDMA devices, so there was no issues with radios.

I am using the SGH-i717 on AT&T. By stock, I meant a Touchwiz-based rom (i.e., Padawan JB). I have no problems with making or receiving phone calls. Whenever I flash a ASOP-based rom, (i.e., LiquidSmooth, BeanStalk, etc.) I have intermittent phone issues. The phone issues I'm having is not having audio when making or receiving phone calls. I know that it is actually placing the call, but I cannot hear the person on the other end, nor can they hear me.

first off i would flash the rom like so.
1. Factory Data reset
2. Wipe Cache/Dalvik
3. Format System/Data
4. Install rom from Sdcard
5. Wipe Cache/Dalvik
6.Reboot device
7.boot back into recovery
8.Wipe Cache/Dalvik
9. Flash gapps
10.Wipe Cache/Dalvik
Check to see if all is well once the rom is flashed and only the rom. Seems like over kill but can help narrowing down the issue, but i do agree with you as kies being the culprit I never did use it let alone trust it to update the device. Odin would be a better choice and no need to update the device for the latest radio as we have flashable zips. Blazes ics modem is what I'm currently using and has been great, one last thing I'd recommend is to go here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ and grab the JB update and flash it via odin if all else fails.
I experiencing a similar symptom. Intermittently, not one can her me no I can hear anyone. I'm currently on Slimkat 4.4.4 and I have to reboot in order to make the call. Never had this problem when on stock JB 4.1.2.
Can some one point me to how to downgrade to Stock 4.1.2. Thinking about going back, I need a reliable phone.
Upgrade Radio
You must get the best radio for your location:
