I have the sph-l720 s4 running the Google Edition port and the wifi will not turn on and it only seems to be getting 3g with terrible speed test results <5mb down. I have been searching for a couple days to try and figure it out but havent gotten anywhere. I tried flashing agat but that just made my phone boot loop. Please help. If you need any kind of log I can provide one if you tell me how to do it. I'm still a noob

Try Faux kernel, WiFi worked for me using his kernel. MDX is then one I used when I was on that rom and had no WiFi issues.
Jfltespr/CM10.1-Skank 7-28/CM kernel
I would back your apps/data up and format /system, then reinstall the ROM and kernel. Don't forget to clear dalvik cache. Did you install the ROM over an AOSP one?

I have a backup that I made with recovery, will that get wiped? I cleared the dalvik cash and wiped data/factory reset then flashed the rom over the stock rom

I'm thinking of flashing Trinity kernel on my Nexus 7. If I have troubles after flashing the Trinity kernel and want to revert back to my present kernel do I restore a nandroid backup or is there something else I have to do to get present kernel back? Am currently running CM 10.1 jb 4.2.1 on my Nexus 7. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Just do a dirty flash (flash CM10.1 again without factory reset, just wipe cache and dalvik). Your kernel will be overwritten.

yup, thats the easiest way. but you dont have to wipe anything, not even dalvik or cache. you can always extract the boot.img from the cm rom and flash it via fastboot too.
Thanks simms. I'm still trying to figure everything out just got my Nexus for Christmas.

Flashed Trinity kernel on my Nexus 7 and it is great. Am running CM 10.1 JB 4.2.1 latest nightly and so far everything is working awesome. Thanks for everyones input. Thanks to morfic for a wonderful kernel. Boom! Freak out now.
Hi,
I have stock rom 4.2.2 on my tilapia.
Few day ago I've made root access.
I'm testing some kernels. but now, I lost my 3G connection permanently.
There were a moment, when I had a connection (poor, but have sometimes) for example on M-kernel, or a44.
I've installed franco for testing now. but I've lost my 3G connection.
(I think it's not so important)
Main question:
I have stock 4.2.2 and kernel a38 by Mettalice. Can I flash only "tilapia-radio.img" from oryginal/stock rom in recovery ?
Yes you can flash only the kernel img. But wipe cache and dalvik cache after.

I've already flashed anotker kernel with stock 4.2.2
but I've lost my 3g connection and now, I want to flash ONLY tilapia-radio.img from original rom.
Can I do it ?

Yes, you can use fastboot to flash it in thru the bootloader. My guess is simply the kernel or ROM you are on does not support the 3g version of the n7. I believe you even said you flashed a new kernel that killed your radio. Just a thought. You would have to actively try to delete your radio, which I doubt you did.

Anyone else have the issue of it just continuously trying to boot? I'm using the CWM auto-loki that's in the development section.
Reflashed it three more times. Now it freezes @ Samsung battery screen when charging, or if I wait long enough it'll unfreeze. Still loops at Slim Bean startup, what sucks though is that for one thing it mounts as an MTP device so it seems like it's on but just not initializing, another thing is that the original flash I was able to get to the slim bean battery charging screen (but obviously still couldn't turn it on)
Thinking it might be a kernel issue, since I installed ktoonsez's AOSP kernel when I installed it. Any recommendations of a kernel to use? I'm using the CWM recovery that has auto loki so, I could probably use ones made for 9500,9505, etc.
(Pasted this from the Slim Bean thread, haven't gotten an answer in like 5 hours and it's a little urgent xD. I'm on the AT&T S4 of course, any other information I'll be glad to provide. Hopefully this is just a simple fix)
I bet is related to the kernel. I have been using Slim Bean flawlessly, with none of the issues you mention. Using TWRP to flash and recover.

Stock Kernel.

I installed Slim Bean with Ktoon kernel and it worked fine. Just make sure to wipe system and the caches. It did take a little longer to boot the first time but after that it was all good.
Sent from my SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
Isn't ktoonsez kernel for a Touchwiz based ROM?
Slim Bean is AOSP, therefore i'm not sure they jive correctly, which would clearly explain the OP's problem.
EDIT: Didn't realize he updated an AOSP based Kernel. In anycase OP, I would still attempt using the stock kernel to see if you problems get fixed.

Patching a patched kerenel changes nothing. Dan said if you run loki on a patched recovery or kernel it just send the original to the output. Nothing happens.

I know someone else clarified this already, but when I downloaded Slim it actually wasn't Loki patched for whatever reason, and I couldn't boot without reinstalling stock. I did download the one in the right thread, it just didn't have a boot.lok in it for whatever reason. Anyways, I'm gonna try reflashing and wiping /system another time, wish me luck. I don't have the original kernel backed up though because I'm an idiot, so does anyone have a link to that? If not I could probably scour it out somewhere, but just wondering for convenience's sake.

In advanced restore boot is the kernel.
Download the ROM and addons again, you shouldnt have any issues... If you are currently on stock, do a comprehensive wipe, a manual format of system and data

No files found :/ I guess I'll reinstall stock, back stuff up, and do the comprehensive wipe like you said. I really, really want Slim, lol.
Edit: Well, ****. Reinstalled stock with Odin and now no matter how many times I reboot I only have a status bar.. phone is fairly hot too. So, now I don't even have access to recovery ;-;

Bott with loki doki which keeps the original kernel.
Alright, I got the update firmware message to go away by just flashing the newest v3.1 Omega ROM and the KT kernel.
Im having the same issue " updating camera firmware. Please wait"
I have tried everything from flash stock with oden and re-rooting the phone and installing CWM with loki and i even flashed loki doki to see if that would help and if i tried to run OMEGA 3.1 without KT kernel all i get is "System software not authorized by ATT has been found on your phone"
Everything in OMEGA seems to be working but as soon as i open the camera app i continue to get "Updating camera firmware... please wait". Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

No, I'm running Wanamlite v1.0.
I just reinstalled the stock AT&T rom to allow the camera to update, but when I ran the camera, no update appeared. So I figured it was all set. After re-rooting, I re-installed Wanamlite and KT kernal, open up the camera, and sure enough the message re-appears. I didn't perform any wipes. But it looks like I'll have to because all the AT&T bloatware was re-installed again.

Your mistake was reinstalling Wanamlite again. Here's how you install non AT&T ROMs
1. Root your phone. I used the one click TWRP and Loki method.
2. Factory Reset and install custom ROM.
3. Install AT&T kernel. Let it boot up. Open Camera.
4. Reboot to recovery. Install custom kernel. Wipe cache and Dalvik. Fix Permissions.
5. Reboot. All done.

okay, assuming you're using the AT&T variant, I did this:
I got the looping "installing camera firmware" and tried faux an ktoonsez with no luck
I flashed this tmobile stock kernel and the camera firmware updated successfully by going into the camera app.
I then just flashed faux kernel back and everything worked great.

I use shabbypenguin's auto loki CWM recovery, but you'll have to definitely flash the loki patch after the tmo kernel to make this work.
