Hi, i just got myself a Samsung Galaxy S4 and i have succesfully flashed several roms. But when i flashed back to the original firmware with Odin, suddenly my WiFi can't be enabled, and my speakers don't work. I have tried factory resetting, and a full wipe, but it didn't work. But when i use a different rom, the wifi starts working again.
if anyone could help me it would be great
known issue with MJ5 stock firmware, is this what you have?
Flash one of the Wifi Fix modems here with Odin. Make sure that the one you download matches the firmware you are running.
Hope that fixes it, if it doesn't work first time, flash it, restart phone back into download mode, and flash again. Had to do that with mine.

ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2352258
I has also attempted to update the base band when on this rom to MGA to the About device Baseband version stayed at XXUBMEA
Situation: I was getting lots of force closureswouldn'tentually it just wouldnt reboot, thenre-flashedvery failed. I reflashed the recovery and restored from wouldn'thowever it still wouldnt boot. (About 90% of the way through the bSamsungmation the audio samsung logo sound died. The Samsunghen went to the "samsung" static image with the blue LED light on and just stayed there... for about 30 mins before I force shutdown the phone.
I the attempted to flash stock ROM (listed in Goal above) downloaded from SamMobile. The same thing happened again. Boot gets stuck. I got into stock recovery and wre-flashedactory reset and reflashed. The ROM installed but I had no wifi. I then flashed the I9505XXUBMGA modem. Reboot and I had wifi. However About device still shows XXUBMEA baseband.
I wanted to see if I was able to get OTA updates from Samsung however Samsung update app is saying that the device is modified... so something isnt quite right yet. Im guessing it might be to do with the modem / baseband but to be honest I am a bit lost.
Screen shot of my current About Device Information. Also Device Status is showing as custom..
Thinking outloud here... would a Root->TriangleAway->reset counter etc->flash philz touch->full wipe for new ROM->boot to download->Odin flash stock fix it? Or could that do any further damage?
First install chainfires triangle away to reset your flash counter. For this you need root.
Then do a factory reset in recovery and flash stock with odin.
You wont get ota when flash counter >0 so give it a try.
Hopefully this helps
EDIT: If the new modem wont appear after a odin flash then uncheck the auto reboot option in odin and flash the modem twice, that helped for me.
Device Status is showing as custom, because you had flashed non-stock rom...
so the wifi not working, but can you make call??
The first time I flashed OMEGA ROM, wifi did not work, but flashed Adam kernel fixing the issue.
Look at his attachment, mobile connection seems working
@polcup please report back if it worked.

Calls and mobile date is fine.

Yep, I will try that over lunch and see if it works. Not sure that will get me to the XXUBMGA modem though but its certainly a step in the right direction.
I really appreciate both your replys. Thanks.
Look at my edit in first post.
Uncheck auto reboot in odin and flash only the modem twice (manual reboot to download mode after first flash) after second flash reboot device.
That worked for me

Superb! I will try that as well. Thanks!!
Update
I was unable to root I9505XXUBMGA. CF-Autoroot didnt stick. I tried a couple of installs. One through Odin and one through CWM. Neither took.
I flashed an older pre-rooted stock rom I had XXUBMEA and then ran Triangle away. It returned the counter to '0' and brought the status back to official.
So now im back to stock MEA and to be honest I am happy to stay here for a bit. I will maybe move up to MGA if I find a pre-rooted version.
Thanks for your help.
Sorted!
Hello,
I installed the official stock firmware "I9505XXUEMJ5_I9505OXAEMJ5_DBT" with the new bootloader. Everything except WiFi worked well.
I tried to flash wifi fix but it didn't work. I flashed Echoe rom at least for 3 times, i flashed both odin and cwm versions of DJEMBEY's prerooted (mega) roms but I can't get it to work.
I reflashed the modem again it didn't work.
I tried odin 1.85, 3.04, 3.09. (even tried unticking auto-reboot on odin 3.09).
Whatever I did, WiFi is not working. (Bluetooth as well).
Hope someone leads me to a solution..

Try reflash the modem another time and if that still doesn't work
Code:
chmod 777 /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
chown wifi wifi /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf

I have the smiliar wifi issue after flash the I9505XXUEMJ5_I9505OXAEMJ5_DBT stock rom.
The wifi can enable after about 1~2 minutes, but it will request me to re-input the password for wifi when I reboot the phone or disabled /enable the wifi switch.
I have tried to re-flash the stock MJ5 rom serverl time with wipe action. But it still not work.
flashed with the wifi_fix did not work either.
It seem the new bootloader have locked. I can't flash ROM from other region via odin. or downgrade to 4.2.2 ROM.
Before I flash I9505XXUEMJ5 , I use BTU-I9505XXUDMH8.
My knox flag is 1 now.
Anyone who can help me.
The F**ing bootloader.
Look at the thread in general about boot.img, there's a tip there about wifi (can't link, on mobile)
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Premium HD app
Thanks for replies but my trouble is not related with stored passwords or etc.
The trouble is although i'm on the new bootloader and flashed the original stock rom with full wipe, i can't activate wifi and bluetooth.
I don't care about the bluetooth since i don't use it but wifi is a big problem for me.
With the wifi fix i'm able sometimes to turn the wifi on but as the phone gets restarted, i can't turn on the wifi again.
please refer to this thread.

hi metinrecepi,
In the thread i mentioned, it give a method to fix the wifi issue, include failing to stay on, passwords not saving, taking a long time to turn on
If you have root your device, u can edit one line in build.prop
Just have a try, if it not work, maybe u can re-do it after a full wipe.
Code:
ro.securestorage.support=true
should be
Code:
ro.securestorage.support=false
all my wifi issue have been fixed after I changed the value in build.prop.
Something isn't right if on a STOCK ROM you need to root and edit build prop to get wifi working.
I have flashed official 4.3 on my device and never had any issues with wifi or anything else. So I would suggest refreshing firmware

I have refreshed firmware servral times, but wifi still have issue.
change the build.proc will fix those issue.
May be it is a BUG in MJ5 STOCK ROM, it is popular in software development.

Maybe, I don't see how it can be a bug is software if it only effects some people though..... I've never had any wifi issues at all.
As soon as I flashed MJ5 in the set up wizard I could connect instantly and it held a good strong connection untill I stopped it.
I have a feeling it's more a router incompatibility than a Samsung software bug.
Hi,
I've been do many flash last 24 hours on my Galaxy S4(Model SGH-I337M, Telus). Initialy, i've the factory stock rom, rooted. So, yesterday, i've decided to install Cyanogen mods nightly on my phone. Not the first time i've been used it on my phone. No problem before. So, this night, after a friend show me the release canditate release seem to be more stable, i've been try to put it on my phone. So, accidentaly wipe all the data on my phone. When i'm back home, i've put again the samsung original rom from my operator(4.2.2), found here, on the website, whit odin. All completed succefully, but i've noticed that the wifi won't turn on after the flash, and no sound from the speaker. So, i've put Cyanogen nigthlies again to test if it rom relative, but same issues here, no sound, but the wifi was working. The phone was very instable, so. Then, finaly, put the original rom again, without any rooting. Stuck on samsung logo, that i've finaly got fixed by clear the data and cache. But, no sound, and no wifi. Instable too.
Precision about phone: Unlocked whit the service mode(work), and enabled AWS whit a software and file(tutorial found here)
My question is: Anything else i can do to make my phone work fine again, and does it's possible to make the phone totaly stock? When i boot up, i've noticed that the phone, whit all rom i've try, said on samsung logo: Kernel is not sendroid enfonced, warranty status: kernel, so i can't go to return my phone on warranty whit that. How i can erase that line, and make my phone seem to be no modified?
Just to specify, it's not the first time i flash a phone. Do many flash, whit galaxy s2, s3 and s4, and sure, mine. Got try Cyanogen, stock, know how Odin work and all, try many rom, and before today, never has any problem to do turn back, but now, it's seem to be impossible.
Thank you very much for your help, very appreciated!
I would flash the stock firmware with odin again. After flashing do a factory reset in the stock recovery.

I've just try this. Flash the stock rom whit odin, and factory reset on original recovery after. Same, no wifi, no any sound.
Just see yesterday, when i'm flashing, i'm flashing on the bootloader in odin(whit the tar for the stock rom). Today, correct this by flash on the pda section, still not work. Found here on the forum the stock bootloader, rom, csc, and modem, but when i do this whit odin, odin said fail.
Thank very much, i think my phone is dead, and nothing to do to exchange it on warranty.
I think Kies has an emergency firmware recovery mode.... maybe that'll work.

Just try this. Kies is the worst software i've ever see. The software completely freeze random. When i go to the emergency menu, never, kies recognize my phone here. I've tried to plug my phone, no recognized. Tried without plug it, no recognized. When i plug it, kies said connection in progress, and can stay here 30 min.
I'm a idea of what is my problem. Before do install of cyanogen, i've been applied the samsung official 4.3 update, whit knox. And, according to what i read on many forum, knox is not ereasable, So, it's completely freeze my phone, and nothing to do.
Anyone have the factory telus bootloader and other factory stock items because i want to put it stock.
Thank.
Finally get problems fixed by take the TELUS stock 4.3 ROM and flash it whit Odin. After, can flash cyanogen nightlies again and the phone work well again.
Whit the stock ROM, didn't see any line on the Samsung boot logo that i've rooted. After root this appear again. Knox regardless of ROM installed said 0x1.
If anyone have a fix to put it again 0x0 very appreciated otherwise the phone work fine and thank you very much for your help.

@Spacemonkie4207 never my itune was freeze, and i can do basic operation like transfer music or create playlist without any problem. My kies stay on connection in progress, and turn, turn, turn, but never connect. And when it connect, only one operation, and kies completely freeze, stop responding, need to close it, and open it again. Tried many cable, usb cable, reinstalling software, two other computer, but nothing to do.
I recovered back to stock from custom to 4.3 however if you do so, depending on carrier you could lose root and the ability to install custom recovery.
I would revert back to 4.2.2 (as it's knox free) go to samsungupdates (google it) and pull the 4.2.2 for your region and carrier. flash with odin 3.9
you'll lose root, but you can always perform again as long as not on 4.3 (with 4.3 u can still root if you remove all the knox stuff, u just lose warranty).

So when this phone was on stock fng2 firmware long ago when it was current firmware. I sent it off to a guy who was offering very cheap unlock. used it fine since then. but wanted to put stock rom on it and make it completely Samsung official with no problems. so it is ready for selling. but when I get the latest firmware which is ok3 and flash with odin. after booting in those crashes start happening about 2 times per second. phone is useless. I made it to settings menu and looked at baseband and software version both show unknown so I flash stock ok3 modem still samething. then I try these full firmware images:I flash od2, same thing oh1, same thing, factory reset doesn't do a thing on the rom with issues. then I try fng2 it works perfect. then I use use od2 oh1 ok3 update.zip to get ti to latest version and it works perfect. modems upgrade and work fine. but when on latest version I reset phone from the settings menu to factory default same issue after phone as booted. so currently phone is useless if it is ever resetted. so no selling. any solutions.
the issue seems to reside with the modem. probably guy messed up a lot of settings in service mode?
You name it I have tried it most likely
any ideas anyone?
anyway to reset nvram to factory default.
i have reseted it in service mode. were it says a golden backup exists. that didnt solve anything
I've tried many many things but nothing seems to work for that issue. Only way I've gotten around it is by doing a dirty flash of kitkat with odin.
I have lost the phone that has been working for ages. I am broke atm. Please help I need to use my phone. I was trying to get my radio to work again because I lost data a couple weeks back. So I have spent more time than I even should have for this trying to fix it.

lineage-14.1-20190212-nightly-jfltexx-signed
and

I have wiped everything and tried 2 different system boards ;
from download mode I have
used I337MVLSGQB1_I337MOYAGQB1_I337MVLSGQB1_HOME.tar
to reload with nothing checked but F. Reset Time.
pulled out the cable then the battery.
went straght to recovery (system was going there already) to do first stage unpack with android and progress bar.
It said BAR and END
I went in back in after restart, and a full wipe.
And after a long wait .. the system very glitchy, slow like something was running in the background (modem ?) if I open the phone app it wont close and calls are silent. then resets over and over..
I have tried custom roms, and flashing latest modem and original ? Whats up ? anyone
PLEAESSEEE help soon .. I am going crazy cuz this is literally my only phone and I need to use it !!!!
Had an old system board and tried to replace it and ended up in the same place with the second board ?!?! what is going on !

I ended up using the pixel experience rom. I am sure I have the wrong bootloader and modem for i337m though. It works with data when I reset network settings and re-enable. Data each reboot. For the longest time lineage 9505 ROMs worked until like Feb 5th I saw the data just fall use just fall off. I couldn't get chatr to work anymore. It was a nightmare I went to stock and , pitted the phone and it would only function until I added TWRP and tried a nougat rom or even with latest modem. Wifi was evn a problem. Now I am using like a lollipop bootloader with the green battery charging and modem isn't right. When I flash a different modem and bootloader in Odin and rip the battery and then cableit doesn't even change .
Wtf?

I'm not sure how you could flash the wrong bootloader unless it was flashed using TWRP or CWM. To confirm, boot into download mode to see the model # listed on the screen.
Are the modem and bootloader matched; i.e. the phone is running a 5.0 bootloader and modem? To easily ensure that both are matched, you can flash the latest stock ROM using Odin.
If the modem version is not changing after being flashed, it is possible that the internal memory is faulty.
