[Q] New official firmware flashed: no sound, unable to root - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everybody,
I just got a refurbished Korean S3 (SHV-E210S LTE) which came with the official 4.3 Jellybean firmware.
When the new KitKat 4.4.4 official ROM was released, I downloaded and flashed it into my device. However, after flashing (using ODIN) the phone does not have any sound anymore. NO sound whatsoever comes from the speakers, the only sound comes from the earpiece (I tested with the diagnostics tool). I tried doing a factory reset and cleared the cache (Vol UP + Power + Menu) and noticed that it played sound but after rebooting a couple of times the sound doesn't play anymore, even after repeating flashing the firmware. I tried reverting to the 4.3 Rom but still with no success. No sound!!
Also, I flashed the CF-Root version for my device but after starting the phone says "Sorry, SU was unable to start". Trying to click on the icon to open SuperSU also displays the warning message. This root issue also goes for the 4.3 JB Rom.
Please, anyone has any idea what I can do to get my phone working again?
Thank you very much for your help.

Do a deep clean: install a custom recovery like cwm, philz or twrp, do a full wipe (wipe data, cache and dalvik cache) and format system and preload partitions. After this, flash stock rom with Odin. I hope sounds returns

Thanks mate. But I would like to know, (sorry I'm newbie) do the recovery apps have these features already in them or do I have to find another way of doing the deep clean. I mean, like the system formatting and partition preloading, I have no idea how I'll do it.
Thanks again for your help.

Custom recoveries do these things without any kind of applications...I suggest you to flash philz recovery which you find on XDA

What is the error? You could also try updating your recovery and reflashing it (don't forget to format partitions and factory reset).

That ROM can't be flashed with newer versions of CWM because it uses amend scripting.
I found the problem... the problem is the sim card not compatible with the rom, i remove it and the phone boot normal and after the initial configurazione re insert the sim... thank you

Have you got latest TWRP? "Flash with the latest TWRP Recovery (if you have a metadata error when flashing, you're using a wrong recovery!)"
Try again wipe data, cache and dalvik after installation.

Error executing updater binary after Factory Reset

Hi guys,
i started this with a oneplus x 2.1.2. i wiped the dalvik system and cache and tried to install the 2.1.3x full zip. i got the error message Error executing updater binary ... then i tried to wipe the data also but it didnt change. i still get this error message. i also tried different zips (all of them were full zips of course).
the oneplus x was rooted, twrp 2.8.7.0. i dont have a backup. the recovery is still accessible.
how can i get my phone functional again?
Same here! Unable to install any custom Rom (I've tried to install some, including Resurrection Remix and CM12) because of that error.
Searching solution all around a million of forums, but it seems that nothing can solve this problem, so I turned back to stock.
(I've also tried with the stock recovery, but it failed too)
Sorry for my bad English, I'm Italian. ?

Have you tried doing a re-flash of TWRP from fastboot mode?
Remove the first line in the updater.script file and it will work.

[ROM] [Full ZIP] Cyanogen OS 13 ZNH0EAS2JK - Untouched

*I'm not responsable for any damage to your device. Do this at your own risk*
I've unpacked the official CM13 snapshot flashable zip, replaced the files with COS13 system files and updated the boot.img
So finally, I got a full COS13 ZIP, including system, boot and firmware. Untouched. If you want to root, I recommend using Boeffla + Boeffla's su script
As it is COS, it includes GAPPS and CAPPS
It can be flashed coming from any ROM, since it will wipe and reflash system and firmware, BUT YOU SHOULD WIPE DATA, CACHE AND DALVIK.
I recommend using TugaPower's TWRP: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=50417
Installation:
1. Download the zip
2. Wipe Data, dalvik and cache (except if you come from COS12.1, but then you could use the incremental update)
3. Flash the ROM
4.Flash Boeffla & SU (optional)
5. Enjoy!!
If you like, hit thanks button!!!!

ZNH0EAS26M builds
build4
-Cerberus removed (rom extracted from a clean flash and ota update)
-Lockscreen issues fixed (there was a problem with gatekeeper due to MM changes, I've been looking around and learning, and then I knew that I should use snapshot's file_contexts instead of CM12.1S' ones)
build3
-fixed bug: some crappy lines in updater script were modifying symlinks and bugging some binaries
-used 7-zip maximum compression for a 30mb lighter zip
-Now updater script is ultra clean: everything is in DAT images
build2
-resized system img to fix some issues
YOU MUST REFLASH BUILD2 IF YOU FLASHED BUILD1... build1 had only 1mb left in /system.... sorry for that, you can dirty flash without wiping and it'll be perfect
build1

That's strange... what error are you facing?
have you wiped data, cache & dalvik??? Since that seems something data-related
Anyway, I won't be able to test until tomorrow morning.
EDIT: It seems to be a COS13 bug. People flashing both incremental and this full zip are experiencing the issues randomly.
I can't reproduce it, so a logcat would be appreciated!!
Thank you so much. Just flashed it and it's working perfectly for me. I'm not having the APK install problem.
I need cyanogen os Recovery for this ,or do i need twrp ...i tried twrp but gives me error ,.

Yes on official incremental update. I haven't noticed any fixes but don't worry it will still install your apk it will just keep saying forced close for package installer.

You can flash it through TWRP. I used TWRP 3.0.0.0 and it worked fine. I wiped dalvik, system, data, and cache.

It can't be flashed through cyanogen recovery since it's not cyanogen signed...

That or it may be a bug related to the incremental updating. As when I originally installed it I also got Google play services update required. a factory reset fixed that, maybe when the official fastboot version is released it will fix it
Can i flash as secondary rom?

Hope this will fixed soon. I know it will still install apps, but it's just annoying to have this message everytime i try to install something. For me google play services have updated automatically at first boot

Can someone please post ThemeChooser.apk from COS13?
Thanks

Noop.Im on latest version and i haven't gt even a single bug..Package installer works fine though. I flash 12.1 fist.Then small updates and then incremental update of 6.1..Works fine
So no error in incremental update zip but an error in package installer in this full zip?
Update:
1. Installed successfully by TWRP_3.0.2-0 recovery.
2. Package Installer crash after .apk installation fixed after the first reboot.
3. For Root flash http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu-beta through recovery after 1st boot completion.

It seems that someone is having this issue and someone not also on incremental update. I have it and i'll try to do a factory reset to see if solve this issue.
