Hi,
I have a no brand Galaxy S4. I was on ARHD Firmware, a stock 4.2.2 optimized. From the end of december, i started to get randomly nosound.
With "no sound" I mean no notification, no media and no audio during call. After this issue phone became irresponsive, using volume regulation keys and ususally after phone calls phone, touckwiz or phone process crash.
I selective de-ativate all application that can cause this (Tasker, Audio Setting, Titanium Backup etc..) but issue persist.
I do a Wipe and reinstalled all apps, but since few minutes after reinstallation, i have same issue again.
So i decided to upgrade to 4.3, with phoenix rom 7.3, but problem still persist, and in addition sometime, phone start to use a lot of battery with process "Android System" ans Kernel.
Only way to fix for a limited time, is to reboot. Sometime rebbot does not fix the audio issue, so i have to enter in recover and wipe dalvilk and cache.
I suspect an hardware issue, but before start the replacement procedure i would like to be pretty sure that it's hardware. Some others have this kind of issue? How do you fix?

Thanks

Marco

Hi Repulsa,
entering in download mode, pushing Volume Down and power, then volume Up. from this screen I can Read

ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9505
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0X30
WRITE PROTECTION: Enable

Then I have a green drod with bottom wrote "Downloading...." and "Do not turn off target!!""

No Knox at all.

No it wont wipe anything it just a modem+ old LTE for oldbootloader and this is how you fix when someone looses their sound. Make sure to turn off your phone manually. And yes auto reboot and f reset are ticked and flash the file by selecting Phone/CP in odin . If you still having an Issue then Feel free to Download/Flash the Stock 4.2.2 Rom from Here and check if the problem gonna get fix. Goodluck

Hi @Repulsa,
today i got only one sound loose, instead 10 or 12. After sound loose, i rebooted, but phone stuck on reboot confirmation. After few second phone crashed and rebooted.

I would like to rever to stock, with file you link me in early post. Do you have instruction hot to revert to stock, and after how to root?
I would like to try original 4.2.2 but I need root.
Another question, reverting to stock 4.2.2 I'll got Knox? And at least, is there a way to block Samsung Update message on stock rom?

Many thanks in advance.

You can download a prerooted 4.2.2 rom from here http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23050663588004454. Flash the file via odin by selecting pda. No need to root. Then flash recovery such as philz,TWRP then you can flash any custom rom you like. And If you flash 4.2.2 you wont get knox . Just dont flash a 4.3 stock roms. Goodluck

Instructions For Flashing Stock rom
- Extract the file
- Open Odin3 v3.09
- Restart phone in download mode (Press and hold Power + Volume down buttons)
- Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
- Add - Add the file you download .tar.md 5 to AP
- Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
- Click start button,
-Done


If you get problem do this.
- If you encounter any issues with the firmware (Any FC, Bootloop etc)
- Boot into recovery mode (power+vol up)
- Choose to wipe/factory reset. (THIS WILL ERASE ALL OF YOUR DATA INCLUDING YOUR INTERNAL SD CARD!)
- Then choose reboot
