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.
Please Help Guys, any help would be appreciated. Please if you could reply ASAP it would be great.
Ok so i have a Galaxy S4 At&t and I rooted my phone with safestrap installed. It has a locked bootloader, running android 4.4.2.
I decided to put the Hyperdrive RLS19 on my phone and I have an NC1 phone. I tried putting it in my stock rom, therefore I wiped the data and everything and installed the rom, I completed with the installation, but after I installed the rom i realized that my wifi, 4g Lte data, did not work. Also, i realized that my root disappeared and not only that, I also lost my safestrap recovery. So I thought that the first thing I should do is to root it, just like last time I used Towelroot by geohot and when i clicked make it rain, it said that i needed to ensure my internet connection. Which means that i needed wifi to get root and to get wifi i needed root. I even checked the build.prop file where i should put the line equals to false, but it already was false. I even restarted the phone several times but no luck.

My phone one is on stock firmware finally. In download mode it confirms that. It also confirms that current binary is Samsung Official. Do I need to worry for my phone getting bricked doing a complete software reflash in a Samsung Repair Facility? I'm asking because the phone says custom in about phone and I do know that it can mean just that the phone had more images flashed to it. I rooted with Kingroot about a month ago and since then I have been trying to get my phone like how it comes fresh out of the box. I have been going crazy since then and I'm posting this question now being that I will be able to visit one of Samsung's Repair Facility's in a few days. It's the Grand Prime with model # SM-G5030AZ. Please can you fellows who know much more than me help me with my dilemma. Thank you.
About another stock firmware
I don't have one more is it available anywhere and believe me I did the research. I think your first option is something I'll give a try but if it doesn't work I'll try the last one. Thank you very much for your time as it is much appreciated.

Hi Chris,
you can check this thread: [q] sph-l710t? by dev-meepo.
Seems that your device is similar to the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III (SPH-L710).
So the rooting guide of this device will work for you too: Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III > Root.
But I am not sure about that.
So best to ask in the Sprint Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting or the [HELP THREAD] Ask ANY Question. Noob Friendly. thread before.
Good luck !
My Note 4 told me to do a system update, so, I did, and after about an hour of my phone flashing on and off on and off, I took it to the nearest Tmobile store and was told that, there was nothing they could do for me except sell me another phone, which I was forced to buy. So, I now have a phone I used to love, and cant use. The guy at Tmobile said that someone tried to root my phone but was unsuccessful, and only rooted it part of the way. So, now it is stuck in this half rooted mode. Is there anything I can do to recover my favorite phone? Plz help....
