[Q] No WiFi on any stock rom - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have tried flashing numerous times two different stock roms for my S4 and all the times, the WiFi doesn't work, I have tried flashing the WiFi fix heaps of times too but it doesn't seem to do anything.
And sound doesn't work either?! And it dies when I try and make a phone call, I think that's down to a dodgy Modem file
WiFi works on CM10.1 though but I don't like it and prefer the stock roms, any ideas?

[Q] Problems with audio after flashing MGG

Hi!
I flashed a rom with MGG and got the same FC problems as everyone else. Flashed the stock MGG rom and cleared everything, factory reset etc. After that I didn't get any audio at all. Not ever during the samsung bootup animation.
I flashed another rom through cwm, same thing and no wifi. The wifi fix doesn't seems to work either.
Tried CM 10.2, there I'm getting wifi but instead no data trafic. Baseband says "unknown" even through I flash different modems. The wifi and data problems I can get around, its just that I can't flash older roms through odin until they unlock the new bootloader.
The audio problems in the other hand. Saw some guy having sound problems in the modem thread as well. Not to many have posted about this problem. Seems to be a pretty rare problem.
What could cause this, how to get around this?
Had to go to work with a non working phone so can't get any logs for you at the moment.
I'm concerned, please enlighten me!
Finally, flashed the latest CM 10.2. Got wifi and reception working!
Still no sound. What log would you like to see to find out what's wrong?

[Q] Phone process not working

ive been messing around with a few ROMs after being displeased with HellFire (for my LS980), and in none of the roms ive flashed (CM11, Mahdi, Paranoid Android) have i been able to use the phone app, upon calling someone the screen goes black and eventually drops the process saying its not responding. I have full 3g and wifi available, and can text and browse the web, just the phone process itself does not work.
Ive tried a few different kernels and modems/radios (currently using ZV8) and nothing can remedy this in any ROM i flash. Am i missing something here that anyone can think of?
anyone at all?
phones kind of useless without being able to call people...
have you tried to install stock rom?

Wifi fix not working

So i was using ambasadi stock deoxed rom with imperium kernel and my wifi stopped working out of the blue.
I had a problem with it before eventually got a modem that was working fine. Tried everything from the posts wifi fix reinstalled different roms modems and kernels etc.. still cant get it running. Before a random the wifi fix didnt work as intended i just kept installing different modems and eventually one worked. No luck this time though.
Any ideas ladies and gents?!
Go back to stock with full wipe and everything.

Wifi not turning on (i9505 - Stock rom)

Hi. After trying a couple of custom roms, I wanted to go back to a stock rom via Odin. I actually succeeded. The phone boots, and android setup screen comes. But in the "wifi connection" screen, when I touch the button to turn the wifi on, it just refuses to turn on. It goes back to off position. I have tried several different country's stock roms (4.4.2 only, I haven't tried 5.0) and they all ended up the same. I just can not turn wifi on in stock rom. Wifi works in custom roms that I installed using TWRP.
Any idea why this happens?
By the way, I also tried flashing different modems, but the result is the same. I read that turning off the phone and removing the battery helps, however, in my case, it didn't.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
EDIT: As I have looked into the issue, some people claim that a custom kernel usually solves wifi problems. I haven't tried it yet but I will as soon as I can get my hands on the phone. Also in another post, I have seen a build.prop tweak "ro.securestorage.support=false" which is claimed to have solved the wifi issues. I am writing these to be of help to others that might encounter the same problem. I will update the post after trying these ideas.
EDIT 2: It turns out, when you flash a stock rom, Odin can't actually flash the modem partition. It seems like it does but it actually fails. You have to do it twice.
No Wifi
Hi,
have some trouble with my Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505). Since 2 weeks I'm trying to get wifi working. 2 weeks ago I decided to root the phone (everything complete stock Android 5.0.1). At this moment wifi was working well..
I did:
- Flash TWRP with Odin
- Flash magisk 18.1
--> booted phone..
Everything seemed to work well..expect wifi. It wouldn't turn on. When trying to activate the WiFi button by sliding to the right it stays grey and after 10 sec. the slider goes to the right side again.
What I've done:
Downloaded several stock firmwares from sammobile --> no wifi
Flashed serveral custome rom's (lineage 14.1, 15.1), android 5.0 and 4.4 based --> no wifi
Tried differnt kernels --> no wifi
Flashed different bootloaders and modems--> no wifi.
Tried to delete files in /wifi folder suggested here in forum --> no wifi
Tried to modify buil.prob set the security value to false suggested here in forum --> no wifi
I don't think thats a damage on the hardware. It must be a software issue?
Bluetooth and mobile data are working well. GPS and wifi seem to be broken.
After spedning weeks of flashinng, recovering etc.. I am frustrated and don't know what to do.
Any advices?
My wifi is not being enabled with this rom. Does anyone know how to solve?

SM-N9005 wifi disconnects randomly

Hello guys,
I bought a refurbished SM-N9005 from Aliexpress to play with custom roms. The problem is from the very start wifi is disconnecting randomly, sometimes it works 15 minutes, sometimes 30 minutes, then it freezes grey, and after a while turning back ON. All other functions of the phone works including Bluetooth, gps, nfc. I tried different custom roms (Havoc, Lineage, Phronesis), stock roms (lollipop, kitkat) the problem didnt solved, i flashed wifi fix file, didnt worked, i dialled *#0011# and disabled power saving on wifi with no succes. Any ideas? Thanks.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I already did that, through Odin with pit file, erased everthing.
I noticed that its disconnecting more when the CPU heats, can you recommend me a kernel with lower frequencies and voltages?
