Must be something in the water. Had same thing. Try plugging in a wired headset while watching a youtube, then unplug. This worked for me for 2 hours then nada. Reflashed rom and even reformated to mtd but no difference. Something is hosed in nvram. Replaced unit under tep as I also had cracked screen so didn't get too much into.

I believe I still have the cm9 file on my sd. Wouldn't I need to reflash my kernel? To my knowledge handles the sound etc.

Or maybe flash shadow 4 again.

None of that worked for me. If you figure it out, please post a solution cause there are quite a few threads on the issue.

Odin back to stock EL30 and see if you still have issue. If you do it is a hardware issue. that is what happened to my wife. The repair center fixed it for free because I have the insurance.

What all will that do? I assume I will loose root and cm9?

It assures that you do not have corrupted data. Yes you will have to root and then flash CM9. Do not restore anything. See if your issue is gone, then load apps and set up your phone.

My phone was rooted remotely. I used to have odin on an sd card. I know I would understand it if I seen it done. Originally I just wanted root on stock rom and kernel but he asked me if I wanted gb or ics so naturally I wanted 2 try out ics. He set it up with shadow 4 kernel then I flashed shadow 5 on my own. I dnt understand y it would work fine for like a month or 2 then nothing.

THE most ironic thing is someone else I rooted I suggested the shadow kernel for has had this same issue.... he even flashed back wiping data but to no avail tomorrow ill have to odin y'all back to stock and re root ya and give you the proper cm9's and kernels and you should be good to go if of course the speaker isn't out. =]

speaker still not working
I tried reflashing cm9 and shadow 5, then tried cm9 and included stock kernel alone with gapps, then tried shadow 6. no sound on all. but doesnt explain it working for a bit then going back out. idk
Mine works and I have always used shadow. Shadow has no speaker mods other than voodoo. Have you blown it with volume+?

You will have to Odin to get it working then reinstall everything without restoring data.

No I've never messed with the audio settings.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA
Marcusant and kenny, is there a way of accessing any of the nvram settings for audio, like telling it to use speaker vs audio jack so these can be reset somehow? I recently went through similar situation. Plugged wired headset in and out while watching youtube. This made my speakers come alive again for short time so they weren't blown. I factory reset, flashed stock, all ota's, rooted and went mtd cleangb. None of this brought back speakers. Something was telling them not to come on. Got new device so moot point 4 me now...

Sounds more like it was the hardware jack itself that was bad and getting stuck on. Might have been junk in the jack.

Odin him back to stock to see if he still has the problem I suspect he will. My wife had this issue when on cm no custom kernel it was a hardware issue. I am not saying CM caused it **** happens and her hardware failed.
One way to tell if it is hardware is does it vibrate? If it doesn't vibrate then it is hardware if it does then it might be a setup issue.
Yea it vibrates. Phone sitting on the table with vibrate.....kinda like a ringtone right? Sad but true lol

Then it might not be hardware. When my wife's speaker stopped working it wouldn't even vibrate. When I spoke with the person at Sprint that fixed it he said it is the same unit. Of course I am not sure if it did vibrate at first because the wife didn't tell me for like 3 weeks that it was happening.
Hello,
I seem to have bricked one of my Epics. I can get it to boot to the Download screen, but I can't seem to get anything downloaded to it.
It previously had the CleanGB ROM (1.05?) with the EL30 modem, I think. I tried to use Odin to upgrade the modem to FB15, when 25% of the way through the phone screen changed to all one color. I unplugged and retried, but every time I get the same result (though the color is always different).
I've also tried flashing SPH-D700-EC05-8gb-REL.tar, and flashing that and the modem together. The process always dies (colored screen) or hangs (10 minutes and the modem still isn't flashed).
This USB cable and computer have been working as recently as a few days ago, so I have no particular reason to suspect them.
Any advice? Obviously the phone won't do anything other than Download right now.
You have a bad cord go get a new one... your screen changing color is the biggest tell tell sign of a bad connection. Get a good thick usb cord and you should be good to go

Might wanna try leaving the battery out for 15 minutes then go back to stock again with odin

Thanks guys, I'll try both suggestions.
Worked
Alright, the new cable and/or waiting 30 minutes worked. I flashed the ancient official ROM and modem, flashed CWM into recovery, booted into recovery and am now installing Sleeper ROM.

It was the cable.. leaving the battery had Nothing to do with it... that's only useful when it won't go into download mode nonetheless glad you got it working.

I bricked one of my epics because of this back when I posted the eg22 leak. Same colored screens every time. Got a blackberry cord and it never happened again, plus Odin seems to upload images faster now.

So I was rooting my friends phone, and accidently forgot to remove the check mark next to repartition when installing cwm, now the phone will not install any roms, and will not return to stock through Odin. Gets stuck at factoryfs.rfs, and will not process any further. Any advice?
Get the victory.pit and odin again with rfepartition checked... I spent 3 days TRYING to brick this phone and couldn't... just keep trying... different cables, ports, etc....
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk 2
I tried that... have been using the PIT the whole time.. even repartitioned by itself which went through fine. Still hangs at factory, when I power on the phone it is a blank screen... tried two computers, and every port... set odin as admin, and running it in compatibility mode...
It sounds insane but really just keep trying because eventually it should work. It took me a whole day once but eventually I rebooted a lot and got the cord port combo, and the grace of a religious deity correct. As long as nothing blows up while doing the repartition nothing really bad should happen since you can always flash recoveries and kernels through Odin anyway. Good luck and happy flashing!

I need help, really.
So here I am, buying an Epic 4G with bad esn from Ebay, i don't care about the Bad esn, I live in Mexico, so not a single **** given, I flashed it to Iusacell, the CDMA carrier here in Mexico.
It was working very well, it had voice and data and it was OK, i had no problems with the OS.
Then, the damn day that a dude was going to buy it from me, THE !"#!" DAMN PHONE DOESN'T TURN ON!!!!
It was stucked in the "Samsung" screen, and sometimes it came trough that just to freeze on the Galaxy S screen, just once it barely turned on and showed the Unlock screen, but when i unlocked it, it rebooted ¬¬
I'm a bad-lucked-noob dudes.
As soon as I started reading I tried to flash a stock rom with Odin, but it didnt work.
Now I'm realizing that the problem is flashing the "modem.bin" image, i tried with both Odin and Heimdall and nothing worked, several sotck roms, several modems, nothing worked, IT ALLWAYS STOPS AFTER DOWNLOADING THE MODEM AT 100% AND FAILS TO UPLOAD.
Heres what Heimdall says:
ERROR: Failed to confirm end of file transfer sequence!
MODEM upload failed!
And its the same every damn time :/
Please help me, I'm so about to throw it to the floor
Thank you!
What cable? Could be a crap cable and data transfer issues. Also could be the phone is corrupt... I remember reading about somebody having to return their phone cuz it kept getting stuck on the modem.bin and it was a faulty phone.

I tried with both a generic USB cable, (yes, a crappy cheap one) and also with a original HTC cable, doesn't worked on any of them.
Tell me it's not the phone, please, that would mean loosing money, isn't there another way to flash like everything?, like a master delete or i dont know, Im not familiar with Samsung devices.

I'll try the video tonight, and im also trying to get a Blackberry cable.
I'm not really shure about the tar that I'm using, as I told I'm not very familiar with the Samsung devices, but I think its like a E30 and ive seen also a F09 or something like that, I downloaded everything related that I saw.
Ok, my question is: I know the cable could cause some problems, But, Is it possible that it ALLWAYS crashes in the same exact operation?
Yes it is possible. You could also have a damaged modem area in your ROM. Try to look for the EC05 tar and try that.

Try with version 1.3.1 of Heimdall rather than 1.3.2.
If the problem persists it might be worth repartitioning (if you're not already).

With Odin you check Repartition. I'm not sure on the specifics but my guess is it resets your partition table on the phone.

Do you recomend me to use the Odin or the Heimdall?
And for both of them, can you tell me how to use it, maybe im doing something wrong, some people say with battery like in the video, others say that without battery, so confused.

Use Odin
Place the phone into download mode.
Plug it in and ensure there is a yellow box with COM# (doesn't matter what number)
Put the victoryxxxx.pit in the PIT section of Odin
Place the EC05 or which ever TAR in the PDA slot of Odin
Make sure only auto-reboot is checked and hit start.
Should take around 3 minutes or so. Factory.fs takes the longest usually so expect it to slowly load on that part.
If you would like.. i can remote control your computer with Teamviewer and ensure you get things done correctly .
If you do install teamviewer Private message me the ID and Password.

Unfortunately it doesn't look like it will work. But there's always a chance.
It goes all the way through but fails on modem.bin every time. I've only seen one other instance of this and the person needed a replacement because the modem was corrupt.

Kinda new to the xda still trying to figure out rules. Kudos to the synergy guys tried a couple different roms and I'm addicted to this rom and is features. Just flanged the r484 and am support happy the mms issue wad fixed. Multi Window flawless. No problems with cameras. The only thing I have had issues with is reception 4g/3g. It seemed more stable with r433. Using ziggy and used custom install with pre selected synergy recs. If this post is on the wrong spot mod please fix. If someone has an answer for me greatly appreciated

Have you tried changing your modem ? Or going to a different ROM and updating prl and profile ?
http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb374/TexasEpic/ThePeoplesROM-KennyGlass123/daniel4653.png
Changing modem? Haven't heard that one yet. If you could elaborate on that one that would help. As for prl and profile I'll try that but I didn't have the issue with the previous build. Should I just try flashing stock and update? Then reflash. My area hasn't changed. Stock and previous r434 build I had very constant and strong 4g everywhere. With the r484 it can't make up its mind between 3g/4g. Thanks Daniel for the info

You change your modem through Odin. Been a while since I've done it (on HTC for a while there when my Epic broke it's charge port) but as I recall you put the phone in download mode, put them modem in the 'Phone' field after downloading it to your computer, and fire away. Do check the instructions first, I'm going off of memory from six months ago.... Some radios work better with some phones than others. Depends on your device.

I know right. I hate how the only way to root the newer HTC devices is by doing sketchy wire tricks.
Dunno about the ET4G, but my Epic was fairly easy to root. But the GS3 was much easier. My wife's Photon Q was about the same as the GS3.
I had an HTC but never played with it due to watching a friend ruin multiples of them. So I never attempted. Had my gs3 for three days before I rooted and started modding. For never doing this before and having mediocre comp skills this was fairly simple. Just want to make sure I cover my bases before doing something wrong.
