Sprint Galaxy S4 (SPH-L710)
Followed tutorial at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2415587
to unlock SIM for GSM.
Experienced some difficulties on MDC flashing back to MF9, especially using links provided in the tutorial.
WiFi stopped functioning, couldn't make calls, and camera stopped working. Decided to switch from Stock to Cyanogenmod to see if it would help.
Used CWM, installed Cyanogenmod 10
WiFi worked again, Camera worked again, pretty much everything functioning normally, except:
Can't make calls, watch videos, do anything that produces or receives audio.
If I try to listen to music, I get errors saying the program is ending, especially saying DSP sound manager has stopped
Decided to try upgrading, upgraded to (currently running) 11-20141013-NIGHTLY-jflte
Android 4.4.4
Baseband: L720PUEMJA
Kernel version
3.4.104-Cyanogenmod-g52b4b50
[email protected] #1
Still can't listen to music, make calls, watch videos, record audio notes, use soundhound/shazam, the list goes on.
Basically, from what I can tell, the software just has no way to access the microphone and/or speakers, and won't allow me to do anything with the phone that uses them. I should add that everything else functions normally: SMS, internet, everything, all function as normal even on a GSM SIM card that I am now using in the phone.
Anyone have any ideas of how I can restore audio functionality to my phone? Obviously I know I did something along the way that affected this, but I'm not sure if it's with the modem, software, etc... Any and all help will be appreciated. If you need any more information I'm happy to provide it.
Hi,
Are you sure it's an L710? Cause that's an S3. If it is an S3 and you flashed anything made got an S4...that could easily explain your issues.
Can you confirm whether you have an S4 or an L710 S3 before I point you in a direction for help?
Thanks!

Sorry, yes it's an S4, SPH-L720.
In a bit of a hurry, so I typed 710 on accident.
To the best of my knowledge, I have flashed all S4-intended software to the phone.
In that case, I would suggest maybe you return to stock with Odin. If you need help, you can ask here,
> Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 > Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > [NOOB FRIENDLY] Sprint Galaxy S4 Questions Thread - ALL Are Welcome!
And here is a very useful thread, your firmware for flashing with Odin is here as well, and much more...

Thanks for your help!
One more question before I begin my journey back into stock ROM/Firmware:
When I return to Stock, do you think I will lose functionality on my GSM SIM card?
I've been reluctant to return to Stock mostly because I'm afraid it will "undo" the GSM/carrier unlock, which is basically the reason I started this process in the first place. I'm Studying abroad currently and for obvious reasons trying to keep the phone functional on a European (GSM) network.
You'd have to ask on the first thread I linked. ?
Thank you. Thread closed.

Hi,
Here is the back to stock thread for your device,
> AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II > AT&T Galaxy Note II General > Dedicated back to stock W/ files W/ Instructions
You can post in that thread if you still have issues!
Good luck!
Thank you. Thread closed.
I turn off my mobile computer, charge the battery only normal shutdown as if nothing happened even turn on the LED. Now when I turn left at the black screen where it says Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and off. Not to enter the recovery mode, just enter the download mode and when I try to charge the ROM again with ODIN hanging on initializing and there does not advance.
Bring it to a technical service and I suggest that the logic board is damaged you must replace it, but this still can not believe this team.
I appreciate your comments and any solution that they can give me.
Has the Official ROM 4.4.2, the last update was automatically through OTA.
Hi there,
All about your device is in this thread:
[INDEX][REPO] Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Android ROM/Kernel/Xposed/Themes/Apps [09 feb]
I guess you need to flash stock firmware but for relevant answers please register an account on XDA and ask directly here:

Good luck
I'm currently running 4.4.2 with root on Samsung note 3 N900A. I've unlocked the device so I'd like to know how to update to 5.0 without losing the unlock. I've never flashed roms before but if I have to will I lose the unlock? I can't switch to AT&T since i'm in Australia.
Thanks

Hello, and welcome to XDA!
Luckily, upgrading/changing ROM's does not affect the SIM (un)lock status. If you are SIM unlocked (btw, by the model number of your phone, you have the AT&T version), upgrading will not change that status.
This thread will provide your OTA details:
> AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 3 > AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General > [ROM][Guide][FULL ODIN FILES][ATT][OC1][OTA with KEEP ROOT][Soft Brick FIX]
Post 4 is convoluted, it should help on rooting the phone for Lollipop if the above leaves you with an unrooted phone (and if you wanted root - I imagine so, to freeze/get rid of the AT&T bloat).
> AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 3 > AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > [Q] Att Note 3 on Lollipop
Any questions, can ask in either of the above mentioned threads, once you have an XDA account.
Hope this helps, and good luck!

Hi
I tried to follow along with the instructions but there wasn't enough information for me to follow along. I was unable to understand what tools and applications were being used and ended up wiping my entire device.
If there is a more detailed set of instructions that would be great. I am also unable to use Odin as I have a mac. Tried running it in vmware but I just keep getting errors.
Thanks

If you are using a Mac, scope this thread out:
> AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 3 > AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General > [12/29] Restore for MJ5 --Doesn't trip Knox and optionally provides root
Heimdall is crossplatform. Read the thread, then ask there how the steps will be different for your situation (Mac of course; also detail what the exact Android version & build number you are coming from - found in settings -> about phone - to make sure there are no conflicts)
I won't know the answer to that question - they will.
Hope this helps.
Hi, I was trying to root Samsung S3 mini (GT-I8190) and install a rom with higher android version than the official because the official one is getting incompatible with apps and so on.
I rooted it and while I was going to install TWRP recovery, I got the error that said to me that bootloader was locked, so I tryed to unlock it using EZ unlock. When I unlocked it, it runs out of power and accidentally turned off.
The problem is that now it doesn't turn on (doesn't boot), doesn't show any signal of life and of course, is not detected by my computer, so it's bricked now. Also, it doesn't show any sign of life while trying to charge an all.
What can I do?
How can I turn on my phone again?
Thanks
PS: It's out of warranty, of course, so technical support by Samsung it's not a viable option to me.
