Ok so my sister has rooted HTC Desire Z with custome ROM and microphone just stopped working in calls and voice recording. Is it hardware glich or software?
How did she flash it? Was there a full wipe first? You need to name steps already tried and anything else that can give people an idea on how to help.
Flash the nandroid backup you should of made with cwmr and see if issue persists

Same thing just happened to me my friend. I flashed a custom rom after rooting and the mic stopped working after a week. I can't send it to T-Mobile because I traded the phone on craigslist. The funny part is that the mic was working perfect before I rooted and flashed. Now no matter what I try it doesnt work.
I think it's just a coincidence. If immediately after flashing stopped working, what else.
Perhaps the only service you remains.

Hi ll,
I really out of ideas here .
I was running Pays 1.9 Bravesoul ROM without any issues for about 4 months on my unbranded Desire(HBOOT 0.75)!
Today I decided to update to Froyo.
I used Rom Manager to upgrade to OpenDesire 3.03 and Radio 32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20.
Every thing went well, except that I noticed that the MIC doesn't work at all.
Not when I make or receive a call, Not if I try to Mute/Unmute it, Not if i try to Record sound, or Video or WHATEVER!!! The only way the other side can hear me is trough my BT headset.
So I tried to use the LeeDroid 1.7a ROM but same result. Also tried to use different Radio - 32.42.00.32U_5.09.00.08.
I then Nandroid restore to my 1.9 Pays rom (Wiping Data+Cach+ext), but still doesn't work. I tried different Radios:
32.37.00.32U_4.06.00.16_2
32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2
32.26.00.24U_4.04.00.03_2
same thing...
I finally Unrooed my Desire to v1.15.4 Radio 32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11 without any luck!
So I'm pretty hopeless Please if someone also have / had this issue, Please share!
Thanks!
sounds to me like it's broken mate
i know it's coincidence that it broke as you changed ROM but if it doesn't work on anything there's no explanation
have you tried a hard reset + clearing caches?
if you have then unroot your phone, put it back to your original RUU for warranty purposes and sent it back for repair
by what do you mean Hard Reset?
I wiped all data, I've changed roms.
Currently It's unrooted...
Is it possible for the Radio update to do this? (all the updates went without a hitch)
Or maybe the OpenDesire ROM (I see that v3.03 is removed, do you know why?) did this?
There is no way it a coincidence. I making phone calls all the time, The update took me about 15 min, after which I tried the Video camera and noticed there was no sound...
Thanks!
well, I noticed that the mic works, but extremely week! I really need to shout in order to hear a whisper... I do this in recording...
I'm starting to believe that maybe it's the mimbrein (Or the piezzo) that is ruined inside the mic...
Is it possible to control the gain in software? (Is there still a chance that the S.W upgrade caused this?)
Hello! I have very annoying problem with my Desire - microphone doesn't work. Voice Recorder records just white noise and other people can't hear me.
Phone was rooted more than a month ago. Since then, I was satisfied user of RCMixHD. The last changes I've done (on Sunday) were: update system to v0.12 and radio to 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27. I don't call very often, so I noticed the problem yesterday.
I've started solving problem by restoring backup - it hasn't helped. Next I have wiped data, reverted to standard ROM, reset factory data etc. and it also hasn't helped. Next step was downgrading radio to recommended 32.48.00.32u_5.10.05.30 and other older versions. This hasn't helped too. I have tried many times (between the changes) recording voice - sometimes I could hear the recording (with white noise of course) but very quietly.
Today I have unrooted the phone using RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.exe. Microphone still doesn't work.
Maybe, someone more experienced than me can help? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
PS Phone isn't branded. I've got it since June.
The same here
I have unbranded Desire and facing the same problems and no solution found yet. I contacted HTC and they said that since I used unofficial ROM the waranty is voided and I should pay to get it fixed.
Did you find any solution? Thanks!

Yes run a RUU and don't tell HTC that you rooted your devices.
Thanks TheGhost1233 for the tip!
but I am still would like to find a software solution. I am not sure if its hw problem.
If you revert to stock and the problem is still there it's a hardware problem.
Thanks alot man, I am now reverting to UUR. If the problem persists I will send it to service and tell them that I used a modified ROM if they ask me because in this case I am to be blamed :-(
Hi everyone I want to thank you for looking at my post ahead of time, as this problem has stumped me entirely.
So I have gingerbread-evo-deck-1.3.zip
which is the latest evo-deck rom and I have checked the md5 sums and they match. This rom was working fine until all of a sudden the microphone seems not to work. Voice recognition will not detect my voice and no one can hear me whether I call them or they call me.
I tried unrooting and reverting back to stock and then my microphone was working fine.
Any ideas? The microphone works fine when on the stock rom, it only acts up when I install evo-deck-1.3. I am not using any custom kernel and the only other zip I flash is the gapps w/ voicemail zip and this md5 matches as well.

What is strange is that evo-deck was working fine until just yesterday. I might just warranty exchange my phone. Evo-Deck had the best battery life id ever seen on the evo.
I also noticed that Tiamat bricked my last phone. Maybe I just dont have good luck with AOSP roms.
I just flashed Fresh Evo, and my microphone is still not working. That is REALLY strange as it was working fine. Also, please note that it does work fine unrooted and on the stock rom.

Yeah that is pretty weird I'm outta options just cuz the fact that its never happen to me before sucks Bro sorry
Yeah guess i have to stick to unrooted stock as even rooted stock gives me problems with the microphone. Oh well, for every winner there has to be a loser.
!
I just wanted to update this thread, there was a dead microphone on my phone. It was NOT the rom itself. I apologize if this scared anyone.
Thank you XDA, developers, and everyone else!
For sure glad you got it fixed

I probably messed up my phone right when i flashed a radio.img
I honeslty didn't know what I was doing and need major help. I can place calls and calls will go through but i am not hearing anything through the speakers nor can they hear me.
I went back to the toolkit and just flashed everything back to stock but still has the same problems at the moment =(
need help please!
okay, after couple flashes... i can at least hear the others voice but my mic is not working at all. what can fix this issue?
What kind of radio did you flash? One that was for your device, i.e. a gsm radio on a gsm device, or a cdma radio on a verizon device? Maybe it's something simple like lint in the microphone hole. You phone's status connects to your mobile network? Try a recording program to see if its limited to the phone.apk, or if its all microphone input. If not, did you try wiping caches and even a factory reset? Maybe you'd need a reflash of the system.img, if you have not reset it since flashing an (assumed) incorrect radio.

I flashed the one specifically for my phone. The verizon Gnex and the radio was for the LTE. I took the radio.img from the verizon samsung galaxy nexus development section as well.
After that I booted it to recovery, did all the steps like wipe cache and dalvik and installed the custom rom, gapps, kernel, and then the radio.
Would that have triggered it?
Are both the custom ROM and radio 4.2.2and for Toro?
Did you clean flash the ROM?
Did you restore apps via titanium?
Does the error happen is you don't have any apps installed?

I am having intermittent issues where I can't hear anyone nor can I play back videos or music either. It sounds like our issues are similiar. I am on a VZW gnex and I went from stock, unrooted, locked, 4.1.1 to the OTA leaked 4.2.2 and my phone has been crazy ever since. My keyboard will go up and down and up and down randomly, my speakers won't work randomly, and my phone freezes up occasionally. Have you tried flashing the 4.1.1 radios back? So far I haven't went back to 4.1.1, because I don't want to wipe my phone.

The rom and radio was for the 4.2.2 and specifically for the Toro.
I did a clean flash, making sure everything was wiped and formatted before flashing any roms
I did not restore any apps via titanium as i just wanted to have a feel of the custom rom before adding any extra apps.
i believe it may just be the device's problem... i got a re-manufactured GNex from asurion since my original had a huge crack =(
Just to make sure if anything was wrong, i did a Nandroid back up from my original working gnex and transferred everything over to the new GNex asurion sent me. But nothing seemed to fix the problem

I unlocked and rooted my phone first thing I got it from Asurion. When i had received the GNex, it was on 4.1.1 and i was able to make calls and everything was fine until I tried to flash 4.2.2 . I reflashed it back to stock settings of 4.1.1 and that should have fixed and flashed the 4.1.1 radio back. I even went to the length of making a Nandroid back up from my original cracked GNex and flash it over to the new device and that sure did not help the problem as well.
All in all, I called Asurion that my microphone is broken and expected to receive another device by Tuesday. I even asked if they can send me a brand new one since the refurbished was not working as "new". Hopefully I get a brand new one.
Even though I will be getting a new one, i was wondering why or how this could have happened. Software related or was it just the phone itself that just crapped on me

@mrxtokki - Well, in your case it sounds like you are fortunate and have insurance so you're getting a new device, or at least a replacement. However, in case you were wondering, I think I may have found the solution. It appears as though your phone might have a faulty headset jack which causes the speaker and earpiece not to work. There is an app in the PlayStore called SoundAbout, that can disable wiredheadset detection and keeps the phone strictly on speaker and earpiece. This fixed my problem. Here is the thread that I found the solution from:

Hope this helps some other soul like me!
sorry if this is abit long winded,
hey everyone, not sure whats going on here. this is the tmob variant but i had moved over to a gt-i9505 rom dandroids stock gpe 5.0 back almost a month ago, this was upgraded from jamals 4.4.4 gpe which was working great. i installed the googly 1.2.3d kernel and that was also working well. i noticed that i forgot to fully reset all my storage and noticed jamal brought out a 5.0 rom so i swaped to that and wiped everything about a week ago and at first didint notice any issues.
then i recived a call and answered it on the handset and for the first few mins it was working fine all of a sudden something glitched and i had no audio like the call droped i hung up called back no audio. reset the phone same thing. just a day before this happened i updated the kernel to 1.2.5 googly for gpe5, so i figure this is it so i reflash and reset storage and no change. oddly this entire time there have been no problems with calls when using my bluetooth headset.
long story short i have installed and wiped one about 3 different roms including the dandroid that was working ok. i am now all the way back to the 4.4.4 jamal rom that i was on before i started and the problem is persisting. when i call someone the other party hears a high pitch squealing sound but only via the handset the "ok google" is working fine. i have not restored the nandroid backup yet.
baseband is m919uvufnb4
i have the current version of the twrp as what i have been installing everything from.
happy to provide more info. i know im still on the pre knox bootloader
and when i get home im going to try my wife sim see if that changes anything.
Update
Wife's sim changed nothing
Also wanted to say that I also read about a apn reset trick that was supposed to help. I did fix it one time but it recurred again and and since stopped working
Having that same issue gpe 9505 5.0 no audio in calls unless I'm using Bluetooth no handset no speaker
You guys Ned to update your bootloader and everything will be fixed.
You can only get so far with ancient bootloaders before the wheels come off.
Pp.
How do you do that
You need to Odin the latest version NK2, you can find it in general section, ShinySide has a mega link to download firmware.
Follow instructions and you will have a S4 that works properly.
You can use chainfire's auto root in original development to root.
