Did you do a full-wipe? If not, that's where I would start. If you did a full wipe, I would then clear cache. Also,could be a bad flash or download.

I already did several clean wipes, I tried different 4.3 roms, but none of them has working Wifi.

Were you using official KitKat? Maybe you'll have to flash 4.3 factory images. Just don't flash user data or recovery. You can boot to TWRP and wipe. Them you don't lose everything on your phone.
Did you make a backup?

Yes I was on official fact. image KK. I am now trying to flash 4.3 stock and unroot. Then root again. Maybe that helps.

KK radio/boot doesn't play nice with 4.3. I think you could've flashed an older radio and go 4.3.

where can i find the older radio?
edit: is this the radio thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087227

Yes. The .84 or earlier are fine for 4.3. I use a hybrid to enable LTE for T-mobile US.

[Q] Can I flash only "tilapia-radio.img" with another kernel ?

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.

Not everything is 4.2 Stock I'm using Frank- kernel not the Stock one
don't have the stock one anyone more
also I am updated Sound to beats Auto Mod
Checked the boot Video to a Custom one .
Okay FIxed using N-Cry tool kit it will wipe everything so back up before hand
seriously? flashing stock 4.3 over stock 4.2.2 but with some mods will not work?
I understood it was possible but flashing instead doing OTA. is it true?
This is one of the reasons why I stay unrooted as I get OTA updates without hassle and without losing any data. No need to flash or backup anything.
No risk of bricking the phone.

I have wiped every rom from the phone other than stock and it still wont boot. I can get access to Odin is there a way to wipe it from there and return it to factory?

besides safestrap not supporting 4.3 roms, are you postitive you didn't flash anything on your stock rom? if you did and you can't boot the only option to returning your phone back to stock is taking it to best buy to samsung experience and having them reflash your phone
I am off to there tonight.

Can't flash new rom after flashing 4.4 rom.

I flashed a Kit Kat rom, and before I was having problems with recovery. Now I'm having problems flashing a new ROM. Every time I try to flash a different rom, it says it flashes but it just goes back to the 4.4 rom I flashed first. I can restore a backup just fine, but even from the backup it does the same thing.

My MAC address keeps changing after reboot, and wifi is screwy no matter what I do. Full Wipe, factory reset, Factory image restore. Its seems the 4.4 roms change things that cant be undone. I now have to have my phone replaced.
Gah. I'd rather not have to have my phone replaced. I feel as if its just 4.4 ROMs though.

Try reflasing your recovery. If that doesn't work, then flash the 4.3 factory images.

I'm on the latest CWM touch, I believe 6.0.4.3. I haven't actually tried going from the 4.4 rom to a 4.3, but I know I can't go from 4.4 to a different 4.4 rom, or from 4.3 rom to a different 4.4 rom, it just goes to the first one I flashed.

GooManager is telling me that there is no recovery available for my device. That's odd.
If all else fails, download the stock 4.3 image and fastboot flash it, then try whatever other ROM you wanted.

The only other thing you might try now is flashing any 4.3 or 4.2.2 ROM, reboot, and see if it's now on that one or still on 4.4...
Or is that what you already did with PAC?
You can also manually format /system then /data from TWRP or CWM then manually flash your new ROM.

That's what I did. I went from 4.4 to PAC, and it booted into PAC. Same with CM 10.2. It seems to just be happening with 4.4 roms.

just manual format /system /data and /boot is the only thing I can think of besides what I've already mentioned.

I just wiped /system and /data, and now the 4.4 PA fails to flash, but CM 10.2 flashed. I'm gonna switch to CWM to see if it'll flash there.
UPDATE: CWM would NOT let me go back to the previous option when asking me to reflash recovery when booting, and it didn't flash PA, so now I'm stuck on the first 4.4 build with no GApps until 9 or 10 tonight. First thing I'm doing when I get home is flashing the factory image.

Update 4.4 to 4.4.2

I just received the OTA update of 4.4.2 so I wanted to know what exactly I have to do to update without any errors. I'm Rooted on Stock 4.4 with unlocked Bootloader and Custom Recovery TWRP and also I have the LTE hack enabled. Do I just fastboot flash stock recovery and let it update through OTA or do I have to push the original build.prop from 4.4 too because of the LTE hack? I really don't want to factory reset because I had to do that before in order to update from 4.3 to 4.4. Thanks in advance guys.

I literally just flashed from 4.4 to 4.4.2 by flashing the entire factory image. I didn't lose any data. Same boat as you, rooted and using TWRP with LTE hack.

Downloaded the 435mb OCCAM KOT49H factory image from google? Then you put the entire .zip on the sdcard and flash it through twrp? Is that it?
I'm rooted and have twrp also, but i don't know if i can just flash the full factory image. I want to be stock and rooted!
Thank you!
EDIT: Sorry, i have found the solution in here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145848
I didn't know you could download these files and use them as "manual OTA update"..
Thanks again
