[Q] MJA modem + 802.1x EAP WiFi? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Has anyone that has upgraded to the MJA modem successfully connected to a WPA2 Enterprise (802.1x EAP) wireless network? I've read tons of posts with people having issues, even after applying the wifi fix and running KT kernel. I need my phone to be able to connect to this type of WiFi network, so I would like to know if it's possible with the new modem. If so, what process did you follow?
I still haven't taken the OTA, and am running stock rooted 4.2.2. I'm inclined to follow the process in the development section to get to MJA without KNOX, but I don't want to bother if I can't connect to an enterprise WiFi network.
Thanks,
Dave

I am on mja minus bootloader . but running sacs 4.2 ROM. I am connected to my work WiFi as I type. No problems. But if i install any 4.3 ROM forget it no WiFi works at work. Is It the rom? Is it lack of 4.3 boot loader? Who knows. But mja minus boot loader will give you no problem. Better speed etc

I am having same issue with you. Any 4.3 ROM I tried based from MJA failed to work with EAP Wifi. No issue with CM or AOSP.

I am having issues with wifi as well at campus it will connect but never obtain ip address, at home it works but is slow and I get unstable connection errors a lot :-\

Thanks for the replies. I can't believe there is not a fix for this! Is anyone aware of any combination of 4.3 ROM + MJA modem that works with enterprise wifi? Do people that took the OTA have the same issue?
I really want to update, but I can't deal with not being able to connect to an 802.1x wireless network.

im running mf9(sac 4.3 v 4.2) and my sister is running mja stock. and we both get unstable connection at home wifi
I have to sometimes turn off and turn back on wifi after a reboot to clear it up. she just waits and it clears up itself
hope this helps

Any update? Any developer want to assist us at work get online? I've tried every custom 4.3 tw without success. I've tried all kernels available without success. I restore back to any 4.2 and I connect perfectly.
I'm on mk2 with mf9 boatloader for all examples above. There is something missing in 4.3 allowing the device to properly connect to enterprise Wi-Fi (my situation is peap with mschampv2). I see it authenticates me on the network just falls to properly connect then it resets.

When I was on rooted MJA Rom and modem, MF9 bootloader, KT's kernel, and hotspot mod with Wifi fix, I could not connect to my University's 802.1x EAP Wifi.
I recently upgraded to MK2 rooted and deknoxed rom, MK2 modem, MK2 kernel, while still being on the MF9 bootloader.
I can now connect to the 802.1x EAP Wifi just fine. I have not flashed the hotspot mod incase that broke the ability to connect (I rarely ever use the hotspot anyway, maybe ~3 times a year). I may flash it and see what happens.
I would suggest going close to stock everything (minus bootloader) with the stock kernel and modem to see if that solves the problem.

[Q] Telus SG-I337M / I337MVLUAMG1 Baseband With Kangabean GE Romm Issues

This is my 1st post ever because every question I've ever needed answered I've been able to find.Unfortunately I cannot find the answer to this problem. Since my Post count is below 10 I cant post the question in Kangabeans thread.
This is the ROM I am using
I rooted and flashed my phone 4 days ago and ever since then my wifi or mobile connection never go above 2 bars. Everything works except data cuts in and out fairly often which never happened before while i was using stock. I can sometimes get LTE but it mostly just says H and is really slow. I live right in the middle of downtown Edmonton and always had an LTE connection before so I'm pretty sure it is an issue with my phone and the ROM. I can also be standing right next to my wireless router and i only have 2 bars showing up for wifi.
I know some people had mentioned similar problems in the Kangabean thread with poor LTE connections but almost all say it is working good which leads me to believe its something I've done. My initial thought to fix the issue was to flash a new modem, specifically this one modem_CWM_I337MVLUAMDJ.zip{4/22/2013}(Canada) from this thread because everyone that was saying their LTE and WIFI were working appeared to be on an MDJ baseband. I tried flashing the modem and nonhlos through Odin but it failed with odin saying: Failed, Receive response from LOKE. I figured my best course of action was to try and reflash the MG1 Baseband but again i recived the Failed, Receive response from LOKE. Thinking i screwed something up i decided to try and boot up my phone and sure enough i was stuck in a bootloop. Luckily all I had to do was load up recover and wipe the cache partion.
Everything is back as it was before i tried flashing the modems, even the poor connection to WIFI and Data.
Does anyone have any idea as to how I can fix this or what I did wrong that caused Odin to fail flashing??
Pretty sure I just found my answer for why I cant flash the modem. Im pretty sure MG1 is newer than MF3 (correct??) and if your on MF3 Odin wont work
I was doing some thinking..... I have mobile odin pro Can I try flashing the MDJ or MF3 Modem and nonhlos files with it or will it too end up failing??

Wow hold on! Do you have telus sgh-i337m s4? If so then you don't need anything to do with mf3. Only att and sprint have lockedbootloader. If your baseband is MDB or MDJ then you don't need Loki and mf3 kernel, in fact you'll brick your phone if flash mf3 kernel on any s4 brought in Canada.
You shouldn't be going anywhere near MF3 on your i337m. MG1 or MDJ only for us Canadians
Thanks guys I wasnt sure If I could flash those without any problems so I was waiting for someone to reply to this thread before i tried going that route to fix my connectivity issue again.
Sorry guys,
I am a Canadian with a 1337m MDJ S4 running CM 10.2
I just wanted to double check that I am bound to ROMS made for MDJ. Cannot I not update to MDL?
There are a number of TW Roms that I would like to try to get my camera and multiwindow options back Like :
FoxHound GearEngine 1.3 AROMA OR Eclipse.
Your feedback would be amazing.
Thank you
Thank God im not the only one. Look at my thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2455955
maybe we can find a solution together. Im using CM 10.2 but i live in Mexico son i had to flash my carrier's modem and it seems its coming back to normal but im not totally shure... still testing this modem (all info is on my thread)
Let me know if you find a fix... thanks

Some people have said that it is working, but I am quietly waiting for more confirmation before I update to MK2. I am getting ready to go on a trip to Vegas in a couple weeks and LTE is there.... free hotel wifi is not.

There IS a Hotspot mod that works (actually TWO! - One Odex one DeOdexed) in crawrj's thread. Last few pages I tested them and they worked for me too.
If you're stock rooted (and NOT on customized stock) choose the Odex version.
It's here search for it.

I believe off a stock MK2 Sprint issues a security update not too long after the first boot that might cancel that out if you install the hotspot after the update. I can't say for certain as I was wiping and loading a few times a month or two ago when I had this problem and the only thing I could think of was to install the hotspot mod before accepting this security update. been able to use the hotspot without any problems since...

Hi, i was finally able to get the wifi-hotspot, and call forwarding settings working.After trying a number of custom roms, i finally installed - omega v19 - XXUEML6. All the above settings, which were unavailable previously are now available and working normally. I suggest, this rom to any other user, who might be facing the same issue with the sprint sgs4 model.

Just for clarification purposes, what is the issue when it "doesn't work"? It is missing from the settings menu and when used in the quick launch toggle, it says "Tethering not supported?" I have that problem myself and I do believe it came after I accidentally let my phone receive an OTA update. I did NOT install the update, but accidentally left my phone on for an extended period of time on a stock software load. I had to ODIN-flash to stock ROOTED MF9 when my dog unplugged the USB cable while I was flashing NAE modem and the phone wouldn't boot afterward.
I can downgrade the modem to MF9/MJA/MK2 and use any ROM and any recovery to wipe and the option to tether is just gone. There's a SQLite program you can download (it costs 3 bucks) to get the option back in the settings, but on my phone it won't work after being forced back into the settings/toggle. it won't allow clients to acquire an IP address. I decided to go ahead and flash an unrooted stock MF9 and let it update to NAE hoping it was a problem that the newest firmware would resolve. It did this without a hitch but the option to tether never returned to the settings menu.
Can anybody confirm whether or not this is was intentional on Sprint/Samsung's part since I don't pay for tethering? I am trying to decide if I need to spend 100 dollars on another motherboard or not so it'd be real nice to know, but nobody wants to chime in. I created my own thread to address the issue, but nada.

Yes, you are right, It is missing from the settings menu and when used in the quick launch toggle, it says "Tethering not supported?". It is intentionally locked/ removed from sprint version of SGS4.
I tried all the roms meant for sprint model SPH-L720, but none of them worked.I had almost given up, but after flashing the Omega Rom "omega v19 - XXUEML6", which was meant for european version GT-I9505, all the settings started working normally.
This works for -
Android Version - 4.3,
Baseband Version - L720VPUEMK2,
Kernel Version - 3.4.83-KT-SG4-JB4.3-TW-SPR-03.19.2014-g743b3d0
Hardware Version - L720.08
I cannot say for sure whether the same will work for you, but you can try.

Thank you for the idea. i will try soon as I get home but now looks like I gotta re-root. Not sure if I can do it the old way w/ the MF9 1-click since my download mode screen now includes 4 extra lines of text and looks like this:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SPH-L720
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
CURRENT STATUS: Custom
KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x0
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30
WRITE PROTECTION: Enable
eMMC BURST MODE: enabled
Before I allowed phone to update itself, I only had the top 4 lines. Anybody know what all of that garbage means? IDC about warranty b/c phone's a year and 2 months old.

It means any firmware older than NAE will not work on your phone using Odin to install it. You have the knox bootloader so there is no more going backwards with the stock tar files. You can still root, but I don't think that 1-click mf9 will work for you.

[Q] Enterprise WIFI not working with custom 4.3 Roms

Any developer want to assist us at work get online? I've tried every custom 4.3 tw without success. I've tried all kernels available without success. I restore back to any 4.2 and I connect perfectly.
I'm on mk2 with mf9 boatloader for all examples above. There is something missing in 4.3 allowing the device to properly connect to enterprise Wi-Fi (my situation is peap with mschampv2). I see it authenticates me on the network just falls to properly connect then it resets.
I've tried the various apps in the playstore as suggested by others. This is not something the fabled wifi fix floating around can help.
I have the same problem, although I am on MK2 software and not sure about bootloader. I'm also using Ktoonsez kernal.

You don't know if you upgraded to the MK2 bootloader? Can you search /system/apps for any KNOX apps?
My theory is without the KNOX bootloader/apps wifi enterprise is broken with the MK2 software. But, I'm no developer.
Same here
I have had enterprise WiFi issues with all 4.3 custom ROMS I have tried and have searched extensively and have not found a solution. The only work around I have found was to sign on as a guest if that is allowed.

FoxFi no longer needed?

I've been rooted for a while now under 4.3. I just updated to NC2 ( the leaked KitKat) and then flashed NC4 recovery and modem. I have been using both FoxFi and WiFi Tether (with root) because I have a grandfathered unlimited data plan.
I started up FoxFi to test it, but as usual you have install a private cert and that requires you put in a lock screen PIN or password (pattern no longer an option).
So after testing FoxFi...it works fine, I deleted that cert and removed the PIN lock screen....back to just a swipe.
Well...trying FoxFi again, it wants to reinstall that key...this time I said NO and backed out.
Being someone who likes to tinker with crap....I tried just turning on the native hotspot app. IT WORKS FINE!
That's right...IT STILL WORKS without FoxFi loaded. I am not going to totally remove FoxFi (yet) but strongly suspect it is no longer needed.
Again....this is on rooted NC2 leak but with NC4 modem flashed.
Sent from my Note 3 via Tapatalk
That's because the leaked n2 already had the tethering provisions included.

You never know when you might need the Bluetooth tether. I kept mine for situations like this.

I am running the leaked NC2 rom that I installed using the instructions on this site. FoxFi does work, but only with the cert installed.
Also, just activating the mobile hotspot doesn't work for me. Still checks subscription status and fails.

[Q] WiFi unstable stock rom; CM11 possible cure?

My AT&T S4's wifi connection has become basically useless. Both at home and at work it frequently drops out and says the connection is unstable. At home, this happens when I'm in the same room as the router. These symptoms started happening after the OTA updates, but seem to have gotten continually worse. I've tried the usual settings changes to no avail.
Is there any reason to believe that putting a custom rom on my S4 will solve the wifi stability issue? If so, I'd happily give it a shot before I completely give up and get a new phone. And, I've had the hardest time trying to figure which guide to use to install a custom rom. I have a US AT&T SGH i337 that is running 4.4.2, and the Baseband version is I337UCUFNC1, Kernal version 3.4.0-1125940. I rooted my s4 using towelroot.
Thanks for the help, hoping I can fix my S4 and keep it...
If it were me I'd flash the nb1 tar file and see if I had the same Wi-Fi issue. You might have a hardware issue. If everything worked then I'd take the ota to nc1. If you have a problem now it's probably the modem image.
Use the rootable nb1 tar file, it's rootable with towelroot.
Flashing the tar in Odin will wipe your device so make sure you backup first.
