URGENT HELP! No sound from speakers after volume mod. Heaphones are okay.

[rboutin2]

I just got my verizon turbo xt1254 and have it unlocked, rooted and xposed installed, on SU4TL-44, and just put all my apps and data on it, then stupidly flashed the higher volume mod from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-maxx/development/motomaxx-volume-mod-t3019203 onto my phone. Now my phone has no sound at all from any source through the speaker. Headphones still work. Is there a way to fix this? Preferably without wiping my data or having to reroot and install xposed and all again?

Restore from backup, it's better from stock rom. I had a similar problem with another mod, i personally recommend viper4android, thats a good mod for the turbo, but it must be on compatible mode (using computerfreak excellent ROM)

Unfortunately I was an idiot and didn't make a backup. Lesson learned I guess. Would I be able to flash the pre rooted system image from this post http://www.theandroidsoul.com/update-droid-turbo-to-android-5-1-1-with-mofo-root-retained-yes-its-possible-now-81652/ and then just reinstall xposed? Or would that wipe my data partition also?

Have you tried just dirty flashing your current ROM?

I just got back into the game of flashing phones after being out for a tear it two, what us dirty flashing, and in on stock 5.1 just unlocked using sunshine and rooted and installed twrp.

Dirty flashing is flashing the rom without wiping any cache or data. You should go ahead and make a backup in twrp now. Also install titanium backup and then make a backup of your apps and data. Copy. Both twrp and titanium backups to your pc so you can get back to them if need to. The twrp backup is not in the directory you might expect. I'd tell you but I don't remember off hand. If you search these forums it won't take you long to find.

After that you can flash a rom. The one you linked earlier was to get to 5.1 from 4.4 via mofo. If you want that one go to First Encounters thread. It will tell you what to download and how to flash it with twrp. You could also try Computerfreeks.

I don't know of a way to dirty flash what you are on, and guarantee that that you won't lose your apps/data. If you have your titanium backups it will be easier to restore. Still a pain but easier. You'll download titanium again, then restore your apps. That's better than downloading all of your apps again. If you haven't used titanium before, you need the pro version and should practice freezing, backing up and restoring before you flash any rom's.

To be honest, I'm not really THAT concerned with losing all my data. I still have it on my old droid maxx. I was just hoping for a way to fix my issue without losing it all if possible since I literally just out it all on there yesterday.

The mod that you flashed replaced /system/etc/mixer_paths.xml. You don't have to wipe anything to fix this. Unzip the mixer_paths.xml file that I've attached to this post and place it in a convenient location on your phone. Then use a root browser to copy this file to /system/etc on your phone (replacing the file that is currently at that location). Then set the permissions of this file to rw-r--r--. It should be good after a reboot.

I just tried that and I still have no sound, and now when I try to play a song in Google music or watch something on YouTube, I just get an error. And still no sound at all. Could I get the 2bd mixer paths file from you also by chance?

I'm running Computerfreek's mod of SU4TL-44, and there is no such file. However, there is a mixer_paths_i2s.xml file.

I had assumed that CF had not made any mods to this file, but that might be incorrect. I'll try to find the file from a stock SU4TL-44 image and that should fix the problem.

But like I said before, the only thing that the Moto Maxx volume mod that you flashed did was replace mixer_paths.xml, so you should not need any other files if that's all you've done.

Here's a flashable zip of the stock, unmodified mixer_paths.xml from SU4TL-44, courtesy of Computerfreek. Simply flash with TWRP.

Yeah I had apparently tried to fix it by replacing that file earlier with a different one, plus also tried to manually fix it too. I now have it fixed. I had the permissions wrong. My sound is back and working now! Thanks billion!! Any chance you know what I need to change to make my sound louder? I don't know what line to edit. But I miss the loud volume of my droid maxx.

Volume is definitely louder, still not as good as my maxx but at least it's an improvement. I appreciate all your help!! My phone is now fully working again, and customized to my liking :victory:

Awesome! No problem. If you feel adventurous and want to go louder, you can increase the values of RX(1-7) Digital Volume and DEC(1-10) Volume. Be careful with that though. You can break your speakers if you go too high.
