WiFi Not working after MDL update

Hi. It may just be coincidence. I rooted yesterday everything was fine afterwards. I started looking into updating to MDL since I didn't take the OTA update before root.
I updated via Odin on pc but hadn't noticed that my wifi had turned off until about a hour after.
Its thru the bar and the settings. It will NOT let me switch it to the ON position.
Thinking maybe I am going to need to unroot. Take update ota . Then root again...
I screwed up somewhere since I've seen no body else seeming to have this problem. Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks

Note: I was getting the SEANDROID notification after mdl update to which I went and froze in TiB

Just factory reset in stock recovery then go straight to download mode and odin back to mdl, it happened to me before something stays behind and causes issues mine was bc of kernel didnt fully overwrite in odin.

Flash the updated kernel that's IN Crawrj's thread. You don't need to freeze the Seadroid app anymore. Newest update to SU fixed that issue, so open up SU and you'll get the popup to update the binaries. Good to go

Just flash a new kernel, be it stock or custom, you'll be alright afterwards

Wow. I love you guys. . That worked. Thank you so much.
I did open SU but it didn't prompt me to update binaries though but I have my WiFi back.
I'll be sleeping better tonight.

[Q]Can you downgrade from MJA to MF9 through ODIN?

The Knox Bootloader is.... Annoying
Anyone know if I could flash the MF9 tar in ODIN and revert back to the 4.2 Bootloader

do not you will even cause bigger problems stay cool untill a tar is released they are working hard to see what they can due the only choice you have no is to go to a ROM that is 4.3 but that I know of it is still un heard of KNOX is a whole new monster that I have a feeling is gonna tick a lot of people off love love love Samsung phones but they need to realize this could hurt them....

NO.

Don't worry......it's only a matter of time. If u need a stable rom, I highly recommend sac23's custom 4.3 rom. V3 will be out soon. This rom has made it easier to cope with 4.3, well easier for us who are stuck with the Knox......check out his thread. You'll love it.

I'm not sure what any of you are talking about. I updated to 4.3 a couple of days ago, then wiped and flashed a MDC tar with ODIN and brought it back to MF9 with OTA updates. Everything is fine.

I tried to do that with Odin 1.85 and 3.07 and nothing. It aborts right away.

I wiped everything in TWRP, and rebooted into download mode. Then flashed the tar with 3.07 and a PIT file. Uncheck reboot. Check Repartitition, Nand erase, and F. Reset Time. When it reboots it wiil update in recovery with the little andy dude, and then reboot to load up. I pull the battery and factory reset. It works fine. I updated to 4.3 friday morning. and decided to go back to MF9 so that I could use The HotSpot Mod and Reboot Menu. F**k 4.3...it was disapointing.
EDIT-----> READ ALL OF THE FOLLOW-UP POSTS BEFORE YOU TRY THIS.... MY PHONE HAD A UNIQUE SITUATION AND THIS WILL NOT WORK FOR MOST EVERYONE ELSE.

There is one problem. Now it won't update to MJA. Something is different, but I'm not sure what. I don't care if you don't believe me. I did it, and that is how I did it. There was one other issue. It kept redownloading the Sprint Default Configuration over and over and over. Like more than 50 times back to back.I finally deleted the apk to get that to stop. Outside of that, my phone works fine. I believe their are remnants of 4.3 and that is why it says the system is up to date on MF9 and does not prompt me for the 4.3 update. I really don't know, but m phone appears to be working perfectly.

The OTA. It doesn't recognize any update as being available anymore. It went from MDC to MDL to MF9 just fine. Then stopped. It says it's up to date now? I'm not sure what's going on with it, but I rerooted it and it works fine. I even innitialised it on KIES to set it all the way back to stock MF9 but it still won't show any update as being available for 4.3

I tried it just barely as I want to go back to my mf9 rom with the stock kernel. You get a secure error on pit and also a firmware revision error "fused 4 .... 1" can't remember what the word was where the dots were. It was a no go for me. I tried to odin back to mdc like was mentioned in the previous posts.
:EDIT Definitely don't try this. Caused my data partition to get corrupt. Couldn't format it. Couldn't pit restore it. Philz recovery couldn't mount it. Finally found an option to format data and sdcard. This allowed me to format data and restore. Once again Definitely don't try if you have the mja bootloader. (I'm back up and running and will let other figure this out.)

I just found out why I was able to go back to 4.2.2!!! When I updated to 4.3 via OTA a couple of days ago, I plugged it in to KIES 3 and noticed it said "PDA:MJA, Phone:MF9, CSC:MJA".... notice the phone says MF9! I don't know how that happened, but I didn't question it at the time because it was OTA. I thought it was supposed to be that way. Last night before I went to bed I manually flashed the 4.3 update zip after using KIES to initialise my phone back to complete stock. (It wouldn't load the zip when I was rooted) Anyways.... Well this morning I plugged it in to KIES 3 after flashing the 4.3 update.zip last night and it said MJA on all three. I'm not sure how that happened, but I only got part of the OTA update a couple of days ago it appears, and thus being, it is the reason I was able to revert. Sorry if I got anyones hopes up. I just went back and edited a warning in my first post with instructions.

Bummer!!! lol i was getting all excited.

I'm having the same issue that you had with the data partition being corrupt. I had stupidly tried to downgrade stock MJA to MF9 before checking with the forums if it was possible. It got stuck in the Firmware error message (can't remember what it exactly said), but got to restore it to a stock MJA. And now its data partition cannot be recognized in any computer. IE: Whenever I plug it into the computer it used to show that it is connected via USB and give me the MTP option. Now it will not even do that and I cannot access its data partition via the computer. Kies won't even recognize it.
How did you get to format data and sdcard?
EDIT: OK, dont know how, (I'm blaming crappy cable) but now I do have access to the phone. In other words it's working normal. But in case that this were to happen again, it would be awesome to know how to format data section, so as it can be recognized by the computer. Thanks in advance.

4.3 fails during install

Hi,
On MF3.
I'm rooted. I have clock work recovery installed.
I can download the update succeffuly however when the phone reboots the install begins, gets as far as 25% then fails. Phone reboots back to 4.2.2 with a message that says the install was interrupted.
Have tried twice with the same result.
Anyone else experiencing this?

If I were you I would go back and read a little information about mf3 and what kind of recovery can be used. It sounds to me like you might be very confused. In order to correctly keep from bricking your phone you may want to read up on things. Good luck.

Since you are rooted, take a look in the /cache/recovery directory. Read the log file. It will tell you where things messed up.
For example, I had forgotten that I did something with csc and had replaced the feature.xml file. Luckily, I had a back up of the original file. I renamed it, fixed is file permissions to rw-r--r--, advanced my clock one day, and then was able to install MJ9.
Good luck, and remember you won't have root anymore when you install this (for the time being)

I had the same problem. The only way I was finally able to upgrade to 4.3 was to use Odin to revert to stock (unrooted) 4.2.2 MF3 using the files on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2502003 Once I did that I ran the OTA update to 4.3 and it worked without any problems

To able to keep your root and upgrade from 4.2.2 to 4.3 you have to change your param file back to the stock. Thats all the information that I have so far so... not completely sure. But I think that is what you're supposed to do.
Because you have a custom param file, when you try to upgrade to 4.3 it's telling you there is an issue with your phone.
I may be wrong.

Is there a copy of the correct feature.xml? Im having the same issue

I had the same problem happen to me on Wednesday night and last night. Today I used Odin to go back to stock MF3, however, then I couldn't get the OTA update. It kept saying my firmware was up to date each of the three times I restored it.
Now I'm finally on MJ9 after copying "update-mf3-mj9.zip" to my SD card, going into recovery mode, and updating from external SD card. Now I can use my Galaxy Gear!

How did you install CWM on what reads to me a MF3 S4.
Those on MF3 have been using Safestrap cause CWM hasn't been possible.

I was excited when I rooted the phone, then installed ROM manager premium. It allowed me to install the recovery. You can even boot into the recovery from ROM Manager.
However since the S4 is locked down tight, you can do any thing from there. So i can't flash anything. It even gives me a message saying as much.
However it is partially installed I can boot into it at will.
I will post a video of it. So that you all have an idea of what im talking about.

While I was preparing to record it, I did notice that you are correct. Although Rom Manager goes through the motions of flashing the recovery, when you attempt to boot into the Recovery, you are faced with an Error, and default back into Android Recovery.
Although I know all about Safestrap...I think we've all missed the point. The OP was meant to get help about why the 4.3 OTA was failing 25% into the install.
I've got what I needed by being pointed to the location of the install log.....and while reading through it, I noticed that the install is failing because I removed the Chat On APK. I will install from backup and move forward.
Thank you all who provided the necessary guidance to solve the original problem.
Thank you as well to those who helped clear up the whole Clockwork vs Android recovery part. Although a minor part of the original post, it's good that we don't spread misinformation.

Did you use all files? I mean, I've been trying the same for the past couple of days, and I even asked in that thread if I could use just the PDA file, nobody replied so I went ahead and did it, it removed the root and I kept all my files and settings (That was the idea) but just after that I can't connect anymore to Kies ( I could without issues, I did a full backup moments before) and trying to do the sideload it always gives me the Error 7, I even tried the full SD card update,it erased everything and guess what, when it rebooted for my surprise I was still at 4.2.2 MF3, so it just did the Wipe Data and then rebooted, so I lost almost 6 hours getting everything back as it was and then, I had the Damaged SD card error so I also lost all my pictures and videos withoout back up.
So, as you can see half a day later I'm still at the same point I was this morning and with a huge loss, so, please, Did you use all the files? If you did, doing this erase everything also?

Yes. I used all the files. The result was a completely stock unrooted 4.2.2 so, yes, it reset the phone and erased everything that I had on there. (It left my external SD card intact but I would still advise removing it if there is anything on there you don't want to lose.)

Yep, that was the reason why I just used the PDA I didn't want to lose my data, and then I did it anyways, my mistake was not doing the Odin Restore just after I realized that it erased everything and I was still at 4.2.2, that's was the perfect time to do it, but now, after I finally put everything back as it was, I simply don't see myself by my own choice, doing all this again.

In the thread, there are tons of instances where it explains where to use each file and even pictures, I know because I read every single post, but none of them explains if I could use just the PDA one if I wanted to keep my settings while unrooting the phone, that's why I asked about it, because nobody replied to my question I decided to be the guinea pig, and yes, it works, you keep your settings, and I was glad, but as you can see, what I wanted to accomplish didn't work after all. Without all the files it doesn't fix the issue that causes the error 7 when doing the sideload.

[Q] Samsung GS4 AT&T Update Fails

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 through AT&T (which I'm beginning to think was a huge mistake). The phone recently was supposed to receive and update through AT&T update service. The update is about 730 MB and takes about an hour to download, however upon restarting and the update getting to 25% completion it fails and reboots. This wouldn't be a huge issue but my Gallery app has since complete stopped working and the phone is generally acting screwy since the failure.
The first few times this happened i eventually gave up and looked into installing CyanogenMod onto this worthless brick but I can't seem to find any way to get ClockworkMod Recovery onto it.
As of right now I'm sitting here with an $800 POS that I'm stuck with for about another year and 8 months so any help either getting through the update or moving to CyanogenMod would be amazing.

Yeah you cannot install that on your phone, even on MF3.

Have you tried Odin MF3 from the md5 thread in general section. If not give it a go and if it flashes you back to MF3 then re root and install Supersu pro to use survival mode and take the update again.

@uchua Did u try follow my thread for MK2 tar .....u can upgrade to MK2 from MF3 easily or unbricked your MK2. For guide on how to check on POST#2 with image guide....GOODLUCK....let me know how it go.....:good::good:
EDIT: Or u can try this MF3 tar. But remember MF3 and MK2 CAN'T install CWM or TWRP RECOVERY.....u ended up BRICKED.....U CAN ONLY INSTALL SAFESTRAP RECOVERY

Actually it ended up being that the .tar.md5 file I was using was invalid. Upon finding the right ones I managed to reflash the original image and update to MK2. So I guess now my issue is resolved.

Yup got the update an hour ago, but I'm bummed that I lost my big font settings (was previously rooted), now I gotta wait til 4.4 gets a root, even with "large" font settings in both display and accessability, it's too small.

Just got the update as well, disappointed with the camera still.

Ouch, had you done any upgrading or downgrading or flashing in the past? Do you get anything when you plug it into a PC, if you do it can likely be restored.

Mine updated. Happy to finally get the smart dialer - something HTC has had since Froyo. Not a great fan of the all white notification icons, but I'll get used to it.

What did you do to flash back to 4.2.2? That raises a red flag for me as the upgrade to 4.4.2 would have incremented the bootloader version and from what I can determine you can only safely downgrade to 4.4 (Yes I know there is no 4.4 for Rogers)
I would say it is a brick for certain at the moment, but there is a chance you can recover it, check this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2629057

I also got the update! I'm on Rogers. When I tried applying it, the phone went into an endless loop of booting up into the OS, and then "Powering off." I fixed this by restoring to android 4.2.2 through RSDLite, but I'm wondering if anyone can help me out here. I don't know what is going on...

Try holding the power button down for up to 1 minute. A few times if needed, while connected to the computer via USB.

First I would uninstall xposed or anything like that. Then, I'm assuming you have an unlocked bootloader, so you would need to flash the the 4.2.2 (I assume that is what you are on?) recovery. I'm not sure if having root will do anything. If so, then you need to reflash the stock kernel and then clear the cache and you should be back to stock. Alternatively I think you can also use a tool kit.

Are you rooted? Try fastboot erase cache hopefully that works, otherwise its fastboot erase userdata and bam factory reset list everything. Its bootlooping due to root or a bad system file
