Wifi not working - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Today I was messing with my phone and decide to download 4.3. I had forgotten that I rooted my phone a few days back so I ended up doing the OTA update without taking root off. Now my WiFi isn't working, I restarted my phone and that did fix it. I like to know if there is a fix for this?

Yes, the same thing happened to me. Flash the MJA Kernel and modem flashable in ODIN (md5 6625d683a1f9908281bd785a8e3fac56) from here and it will work. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2506562 Let me know if you have any question....

I did exactly the same (patience grasshopper). I'm going to give it a shot also.

One question, do I have to flash Phil'z Recovery before I do this?
I have Clockwork currently installed, should I replace it or can I have both installed?
Thanks

Install a tw 4.3 kernel like kt kernel in original development

Okay. Tried to flash the MJA Modem and Kernel through Odin and was getting the bad binary error. Just installed the KT Kernel for 4.3 TW and I'm still getting a similar issue. WiFi is just stuck on turning on but never fully gets there.. Any ideas??? Another kernel perhaps?

I found the wifi fix but I'm not seeing the kt kernel. I did a search and seeing a lot of kt kernel hits. Is there one specifically that I should use?

[Q] newly flashed ROM stopped my wifi connectivity

Hello guys,
I installed the ROM under this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2288531&page=13
The flashing of the ROM was successful but the only thing that it's not working with this flash is that I'm unable to turn on my wifi feature.
Is there a way to fix this without remodifying the ROM?
Any help will do. Thanks guys!!

First just an FYI questions go in the QA section. This will be moved there by a Mod so just giving you a heads up. Were you on MDC or MDL before you flashed the rom?

That's what I was thinking. That Rom is MDC based. So you have MDL Firmware but MDC System. If you want to stick with that rom here is what I would do. Make a backup. Odin the stock MDC tar twice, don't ask just better this way . Install custom recovery back on. Restore only the system. You should be fixed. Or you could probably get away with just installing the MDC Kernel. You can find the tar and kernel from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2256514
Flash a custom kernel and your Wifi will work.

That's a great suggestion there crawjr. I will try the kernal suggestion first if anything. Even though i feel uncomfortable messing with the kernel system. Sorry for the noob questions I haven't been on this page for ages since the G2 was first released lol. :good:

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

Yeah but if you're using a specific ROM, may be hard to flash back to something else.

Ok thanks bud. For what rom. I'm a t-mobile user. Do I flash KT for omega I9505 or t-mobile version? I'm not sure it will even boot? I know it won't for at&t because of the locked bootloader but it's possible it will for me? I'm trying to get that camera is updating message?

Question is HOW did you 'get it'?
What is your current ROM and how did you get/install that?
I got the modem from the tri force rom, i was on a mf9 stock rom, it got changed to mk2. My current rom is slim bean 4.3 2.2 final, and i got it from the official site
Try going to a stock MK2 ROM to see if that fixes your issue.

You could not have gotten the modem from a ROM. It is not included in any of them. If you are flashing some 4.3 ROMs without using Odin to update the modem, you could run into issues.

Honestly, i tried using odin to update my modem but everytime it'd fail when i tried, so i gave up, but when i downloaded the tri force rom that's based on mk2 for some odd reason it said my baseband was now mk2, so i thought it did it automatically, but now no matter what rom i go to, whether it be jelly bean or kitkat based ones the phone apk lags, freezes up, and messes up everytime

^Try this^ this is by far your best chance!
And what frostedunit said is true also. Modems must be flashed via Odin in download mode.
now my issue is wifi not working ;( i'm on the rom "stock(ish) v01"

You must be on the MK2 modem for Wifi to work on that ROM. Redownload the modem .tar from Unknownforce's thread in development and Odin it in. Sometimes it takes a few tries for it to stick. Just make sure to run Odin as administrator and put the modem .tar in the phone slot.

Have you updated your baseband and modem to match your new ROM? You need to flash them in desktop Odin, normally a few times in a row, and once you reboot your WiFi etc should be back.

Ahh, well if you still have the 4.2.2 bootloader then you'll probably have some WiFi/sound issues depending on the ROM you pick. You can always flash a 4.2.2 Based ROM to unbork your phone and then look for an alternative?

[Q] Help with installing Stock Kernel and Stock Recovery

Hi guys
Really struggling to find the Stock Kernel for my Note 3 and how to flash.
From what i've read on other forums, everyone seems to say you just flash stock ROM via Odin however this has proven not to be the case when i have flashed.
Any help is appreciated, Thanks!

so what your saying is that you tried to flash the stock firmware via ODIN and the kernel did not revert back to stock kernel ?

Yes that's exactly right. to check if it was a one off i'm currently flashing stock ROM again via Odin as we speak.
it should work that way but if it still doesn't work, go into recovery and WIPE all and then reflash Stock.. that should work
