Okay so this started when I flashed the new Liquid Smooth 4.4 beta which uses a d2lte rom instead of a d2att. Since I have flashed this rom I am unable to get LTE most of the time. When I do get LTE it will inevitably reboot it self. I have tried to go to Settings>Wireless & netrworks>Mobile Networks and change the preferred network type to one with LTE but it won't let me, it stays on GSM/WCDMA preferred. I have flashed multiple roms including other 4.4 roms, a 4.3 rom I know worked before, and synergy with no luck. I have also checked my APNs and they are correct. Is there anything else I can try? Or will I have to go back to stock to fix this issue? If so is there a method you would recommend?
Thank You, and if this has been asked I apologize I searched and couldn't find anything.
I had the same exact issue after installing Liquid. Even had issues on my nandroids with LTE after. The only way I was able to fix was to odin back to rooted stock and then I restored one of my nandroids from a previous ROM.

I was hoping I wouldn't have to do that but figured I would.
As far as using Odin I was only able to find a method which used the I747UCDLK3 version. I'm on 1747UCDMG2 for AT&T, do you know if it is safe to use that version(I know it wouldn't be if I was on the 4.3 firmware). Either way thanks for the help.

I was on MG2 (flashed the zip that was floating around here) I had no issues using odin back to stock. Ill be honest..I do get confused with the bootloaders as far as which you can downgrade or not. So maybe someone with more info will chime in and let us know if im corrector not. I just dont like to give an answer unless im 100% sure lol. But like I said I was on MG2 and odin back to lk3 stock rooted.

Well, I took the plunge and it worked. I was able to restore my phone to stock using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426 and so far I have lte.
For anyone else reading this be sure to do a factory reset before going back to stock or it will boot loop.
Thanks again.

Don't do it if you think you might ever want to be able to use Odin as a recovery option. Once you upgrade to 4.3 on AT&T you're stuck if something bad happens to your phone you're going to have a hard time fixing it.
If yours sure you want to do it then Odin your phone back to an early firmware as soon as it boots it will force you to take an update. It may be 4.1.2 or it may be 4.3? Not sure but you just let the phone update through ota. Or alternately there are files with instructions in threads labeled with names similar to 4.3 OTA official.

Well right now there are some disadvantages, imho, to upgrading to 4.3 stock, once the bootloader is updated you cannot downgrade to any other build at this time, but that is a call for u to make, if you want to ota to 4.3 you have to get on stock 4.1.2 which you do through odin and then ota, not what I would do at this time just to many horror stories for my taste on 4.3 right now

if i understand your question correctly, you're trying to flash a 4.3/4.4 AOSP-based ROM? but it keeps failing?
i'm sorta having the same problem too, whenever i flash any ROMs based off 4.3/4.4 AOSP, i get constant reboots, about 2-3 an hour.
i am using CWM for recoery, but i don't think i tried BeanStalk 4.4

It is all up to you. I have 4.3 and am happy with it. It is very stable and has decent battery life. It isn't without issues though. I have problems with it giving me the weak wifi signal message or that my Internet is too slow (10Mbps DSL? Slower than some but certainly no slouch) when it does this it disconnects and I have to manually tell it to reconnect. The other thing is in my battery stats built in the rom not all of the apps are being logged only things like screen on time, cell standby, wifi, bluetooth, basic phone stuff but none of the apps???
Why I wish I hadn't done it? Because I lost the ability to be able to recover my phone with Odin and the ability to do whatever it is I want to with the bootloaders.

Read the stickys here and in the general section it will have nearly all of the information and tools you need. Then you can get firmware to flash in Odin from http://www.sammobile.com go there register for an account click firmwares in the top bar of the site and search for your phones model number such as mine is SGH-I747 and a Canadian phone or Mexican phone would be SGH-I747M.

Give it a few minutes to try to boot then pull the battery, boot to recovery and do a factory reset. if that doesn't work then flash the odin file again.
When you do get the 4.3 it will take several minutes to boot it will look like its stuck on the boot screen but be patient it will likely boot eventually.

No it shouldnt take ten minutes but 4.3 takes considerably longer than all the roms I have used in the past.
You are still at the stage of flashing 4.1.1 correct? if it didnt boot just reflash it(uncheck the box for auto reboot so you have to pull the battery out after you flash it) then go to recovery and do a factory reset, then reboot the phone, it should boot this time.
You did check to make 100% sure you downloaded the correct 4.1.1 file for the phones model? right?
Don't mean to make anybody sound silly just trying to figure out exactly whay is going on.

Do you still have custom recovery (Which one do you have) or do you have the stock recovery?

Hi all,
Starting from the beginning... I had been having issues with CM 11 (LTE issues) so I decided to flash stock 4.1.2 (which was lag-galore) and upgraded to 4.3 to see any performance improvements. I was terribly disappointed with stock 4.3 for it extremely slow. laggy and sluggish as compared to the buttery CM. (I also did many tweaks in dev option and factory restored but my phone just wont stop lagging)
So basically I am wondering: Can I root 4.3, flash a custom ROM and if for any reason I have to, FLASH BACK TO STOCK 4.3?
I want to sell my phone down the road and my original plan was to flash 4.1.2 stock but with the bricking issues involved while downgrading I want to know if I can go straight from custom to 4.3 stock.
Thanks in advance for the help!
Yep you can always Odin back to stock 4.3, just not lower. I know with the M version you can anyway.

If you have an i747m (Bell, Telus, Rogers), there is a complete stock 4.3 ROM. For the AT&T s3 (i747), there is not stock 4.3 ROM as AT&T only released their 4.3 ROM as an OTA update.

maybe its just me expecting too much from my phone. Compared to CM 11, I feel touchwiz is soooo slow and stutters and lags and is just plain behind. I did a factory reset myself with no noticeable change so I guess that's the way it is.

Hi All,
I tried flashing DN3 on N7105 (I just searched dn3 in search box, and I clicked on the wrong link), and it booted up. Everything was working fine except the mobile connection. If I flash an N7105 modem, will it fix the problem? Or is flashing N7100 roms on N7105 just totally impossible?
I really want to get DN3 to work, the s5 theme looks totally awesome. The DN3 for N7105 is totally outdated, and so are many of the custom roms on the dev section.
Thanks.
I am surprised it even booted I've been told no way, not sure on the modem I guess it can't hurt, keep us updated.
Cheers

You basically just asked me to risk my phone just to see if it will work haha. And I was the one asking questions XD
Can anybody who tried this tell us the results? Thanks.
From what I read you already flashed it (7100 rom) and it booted so it was you who risked your phone.,I was saying I can't see trying the 7105 modem would hurt.
Cheers
Oh don't 4 get to let me know. ?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk
Never mind if things are outdated. Your model is not as popular as the N7100 so development will of course be slower.
Suggest you go back to your old rom (hopefully you made a nandroid backup or something)... or reflash it... before you really mess up your phone.
Things just aren't going to work properly for you.
Patience is a virtue.
If you have flashed a n7100 rom you will lose baseband and no modem or anything will bring it back. All n7100 roms work on our device but you are left with a wifi tablet. If your nandriod doesn't restore baseband you might have to flash stock with odin. I'd make sure you can get your baseband back first
Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk
It doesn't hurt to try flashing DN3 v5 on a N7105. I mean, I've tried it with my N7105T (N7105 roms work flawlessly), which had no luck in getting a proper baseband. You can always get your baseband back with an official firmware, but just to safe, back it up with CWM.
I've tried flashing the official N7105 kitkat firmware (4.4.2). Backed up efs and modem. Flashed DN3 v5. Restored both efs and modem. No luck in restoring signal. Baseband was still unknown
We'll just have to wait for the electron team to release the rom on N7105. Heard they started it some time ago.
This happened to me too. I didn't manage to get LTE/4G to work with only flashing a new modem or baseband. I needed to flasha whole new rom. Maybe I did something wrong.

Hi xda, I hope your Friday is going well.
EDIT: My calling problem was not fixed. I reflashed 4.4.2 NB4 Modem (twice to make sure it stuck) and the calling still does not work. Did something just completely fry when I had CM11 on this thing? Any ideas anybody? I don't even hear a dial tone if I am the one dialing out, the call still goes through though.
Everything below was my original post which has been resolved, didn't want to start a new thread though.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TL;DR: My T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4 (SGH-M919) is unable to boot stock rom, and I am unable to enter recovery. I get seandroid messages trying to do either. Fortunately, the phone can enter download mode. What do I need to do or flash to get this phone booting again? Thank you in advance for taking the time to read and help out.
Below is the long story with details:
1. The phone was given to me running stock Android/TouchWiz. Unfortunately, I do not know what version but I assume it was whatever was the latest version as of late April.
2. I rooted the phone using Odin and CF Auto Root.
3. I created a backup of this newly rooted stock rom.
4. I flashed Cyanogenmod 11
5. After a while I discovered that I could answer calls but I could not hear nor be heard during the call.
6. I restored to the stock rom using the backup I made in step 3.
7. The calling issue continued, so I figured I would just unroot and go back to like-new factory settings. This way I could take the phone in to be repaired or whatever.
8. Following this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2336392, I attempted to flash k0nane's UVUAMDL Official Tar
9. Odin got stuck connecting to my device, I believe it was because I did not run Odin as admin. I pulled the battery and repeated this step while running Odin as admin.
10. The flash was successful, however during the phone's first boot it got stuck on the T-Mobile splash screen for about 30 minutes or so. I pulled the battery again.
11. Anytime I put the battery back in the phone, it will attempt to boot and hang at the T-Mobile screen, I believe this is a boot loop?
Looking online, people suggest going into recovery and wiping but I cannot enter recovery. I just get the seandroid not enforcing messages. I'm very hesitant to keep looking through the forums and trying things because I feel like I'm on the edge of bricking the phone if I haven't already.
I don't think the flash was successful because it wouldn't give you those messages, and you would need to flash either 4.3 or 4.4.2 not 4.2.2 (MDL) Try flashing a newer firmware version.. If it was updated to the newest then I would try 4.4.2

Ok so I flashed the wrong rom then. I hate to ask but where could I find a 4.4.2 stock rom? I just found a rom I believe will work but the file is titled "M919UVUFNB4_M919TMBFNB4_TMB" not sure if this is 4.4.2 or newer?

This is where I obtained the rom above that I wasn't sure was the newest.
I flashed this rom and everything worked, thank you both.
Any ideas on what happened with the phone call issue? My friend that gave me the phone said it was working just fine when she had it, so I assume somehow the rooting or CM11 screwed something up? Weirdly, calling through WiFi works just fine.

The only thing that can foul up your phone like that would be a bad cm flash or preflash, it's super important to read and read again, check the thread for support from members and resolutions to problems before you consider the build for your phone. Ask questions and double check everything before you take the plunge.
I assume that the calling problem is fixed, a corrupt modem may cause that and re flashing the modem will correct this.

I flashed the NB4 tar from sammobile twice, calls still not working. I feel like I'm not flashing the correct thing or something.
Using the Android System Info app, every entry has something in it except for Radio. It just says "Radio: unknown". Does this have anything to do with anything?

My friend gave the phone to me. She got an S5 and didn't want to bother with selling this S4 so she just gave it to me. It was completely pure and stock, with calls working. Something screwed up during the CM11 flash I guess.
WiFi calls still work, everything works except calls.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong? I flashed the sammobile NB4 tar twice via PDA in Odin as usual. For the modem, I flashed the modem bin via Phone in Odin twice. Thank you for your help, by the way.
New term for CM, "complicated maneuver" ,.
Reflashing firmware may do it. Can't hurt either.

I think something definitely went wrong.. Try flashing this firmware, it flashes better for most people http://www.cheatersedge.org/android/m919/M919UVUFNB4_M919TMBFNB4_TMB_FENNY_FIXED.zip after that, factory reset and if that still doesn't work then you have a bigger problem.. Good luck!

I flashed both Fenny's firmware and a baseband he also provided. Did both twice, and calls are still not working.
I was doing some research on this whole "Radio: Unknown" thing and I started seeing threads talking about flashes corrupting the phone's EFS partition. I never made a backup of mine, so I have nothing to restore to. Is it possible that I could use someone else's EFS backup and then use it to restore my phone's EFS partition? Does it work like that?

No it will not work, this is device specific afaik.. Like I said earlier, I recommend you call T-Mobile for a replacement

Flashing modems and such with a custom rom installed often fails. Did you try doing a restore to full stock using Odin?
It sounds like the phoen has Android 4.4 on it already so you will need to flash the full 4.4 package (can't go back to 4.3 or 4.2)
Try and, boot hte phoen without modifying it, and see if calls work then.
The EFS thing is about the IMEI number. Does your device show an IMEI number in settings? If it does, your EFS isn't the problem. If it doesn't....well then yeah. Problem is pretty much narrowed down.

I have restored the phone to full stock and have been using it that way since I started this thread. Everything is just like fresh from the factory (except for the knox counter being tripped obviously). Calls still didn't work. An IMEI number still shows up the phone's settings. Using WiFi calling hasn't been that bad at all, but I'm screwed in the case of a real emergency with this thing.
How do you get an ATT S3 back to full stock config and count reset??
I have an SGH-I747 that was rooted, cwm recovery and a few roms installed in the past. Right now I am stuck. I want to go back to all official/original, like it would if you bought it new. I would like it to have the latest official ATT firmware build, kernel ,modem, etc.... and the counter reset. I'm currently on 4.3 but I don't know if its the official build for ATT, I included a screenshots of device info. Please check them for more info. If you need more let me know.
I know some of you are going to say "did you read through the forums??" The answer is yes I did but could not find a good answer to my particular problem. I am somewhat of a noob but I do know the basics. All I ask is for a bit of help or info.
Thanks in advance
You can reset the custom binary count, but not the warranty bit.
The best you can do is follow enewman17's stock restore thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658486
Then update to 4.4.2 via ota.

Try factory reset in recovery
Factory resetting solves about 99% of all boot hangs.
