I have the exact same issue. Sprint couldn't do anything about it. they actually tried to downgrade it haha.
Let's pinpoint the issue. What recovery did you initially use? did you by chance play with mf9 firmware files?

well I have been useing TWRP v2.5.0.0 odin used to work before I updated OTA to 4.3 ever after odin gives me an error while tring to flash the mf9 back on the phone. no I did not mess with the files I had to flash mf9 images using odin moble which seemed to work but ever since that my WiFi does not work. it will only work on custom kernals and FW. but both have a problem with calling and any sound. I know the cell raido works becuse TXT work just fine. I tryed reflashing the raido images but no luck. I tryed all sorts of Roms but no luck one rom called "sacs" v8.0 but that one has problems with the TXT messages even. I cleeared every partion with TWRP hopeing this was just a bad or corupt information on the device. with no luck as well

the mf9 has errors because the bootloader(aboot.img) is non-downgradable. What does your baseband version say it is?

yeah I told them it wouldn't work. worst part is they tried to downgrade to mdc for some reason. maybe they just don't have mja yet.
Do this, dial ##786# and view the rtn. does your radio and baseband match?
looking in logs, it says my radio is turned off...

hum I had to use network signal app because calls do not work on my cell phone at all it forecloses the dialer every time I press the send button but it tells me my bootloader is L720VPUEMJA
Raidio/serial L720VPUEMJA / 9225b7d2
so yeah they match this is so odd.
I consider my self an advanced user I am no coder but I know my stuff but I can't understand why this is not working. the radio works because I can send and receive txt and I can use the 3g internet on it but going stock I lose my wifi and the full phone is unstable in stock even txt crashes and then all of the sudden the sound completely stopped working on any FW I install even stock and even a TWRP backup from my phone before I upgraded to 4.3 works but with the same problems no sound no wifi and calling do not work at all..... so it begs the question what is the corporate here ? is it possible the "patch" Samsung did to the radio driver or possibly the new evil boot loader some how. the phone is running CFW 4.3.1 right now
also I just ordered another s4 so this s4 that is not working right I am willing to do anything too now > I am going take everything off of it let TWRP format all the parts of the phone. is there a way to to use odin to copy everything from the mf9 image file but not the boot loader in since it can not downgraded as of yet?

Have you tried flash stock kernel?. I read somewhere to get sound back u need flash stock kernel. Not sure tho. I lost the sound too by flashing mja modem. But I'm still on mf9 bootloader so flashing mf9 modem brought sound back.

Fixed the problem for both of us http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47241032#post47241032
I recently bit off more than I could chew with my S4 (I337). I had 4.4.2 KitKat on it and wanted to root it to add teathering. I decided thought there was no root for 4.4.2 so I thought I would try downgrading to 4.3 then root. This seemed best because I didn't like the way the SD card is handled in 4.4.2 and some of my apps (like ftp server) have stopped working.
When I got the phone back up from flashing with Odin it says it has version 4.3. My WiFi will not turn on. If I slide the switch to on it slides right back to off and the phone tells me that an operation was block (can't remember the full verbage. I have installed and attempted to install many things on my phone. I have used recovery mode / Odin3 and Kies (Kies doesn't allow much).
At this point I just would like to get my phone back to 4.4.2 with the WiFi working. Then I can restore my backup and be back to square one with a lesson learned.
I have an I337 that currently thinks it has version 4.3 on it. The baseband version is I337UCUFNC1 currently. The build number is JSS15J.I337UCUEMK2.
If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it. I have read and tried many things over a two day period and finally decided to ask for help.
Had this issue before on my Bell Canada S4, but don't recall exact way to fix it.
Think the solution was to find an older (might be newer) stock. I think I used a different version like the Telus Canada version as well and it ended up working. Then you update through kies after.

Wifi does not work because of the modem/kernel mismatch, i.e. MDB modem and MK2 kernel. Not sure what your goal was when you began flashing your phone but since you fortunately did not flash teh MK2 bootloader you are still able to locate the MDB full odin tar and flash back to stock which will resolve your issue.

If you don't care about losing your MDB unlocked bootloader you can get to the latest kitkat firmware by flashing the NB1 full odin tar from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2674223, then once flashing is complete go to settings/more/about phone/software update then take the ota update to NC1 which is the latest kitkat version for our phone.
But what I would do is keep your unlocked MDB bootloader and since you already flashed the MK2 AP file you can get your phone running well again by flashing the MK2 modem: https://mega.co.nz/#!pwESna5I!YK7EKG37xXIG1ReB-Z-mfSMoXNkXQ9t2EdMK9ofgJKg
From there, there are still a number of options available to get to kitkat which I won't get into.

excited to give this a try. rooted with the downgrade method a couple months ago but left with a non-wifi device. my only issue is that the thread says it's for I337UCUFNC1 and our devices are on jss15j.i337ucuemk2. will this fix still work? I've heard on other threads on the subject that the modem kernel doesn't match up with the flashed rom or build number or something.

Do you already fix it??? cause i have the same problem
Same question, different thread!
Not even an hour ago did I answer the same question in a different thread: How do I get WiFi working on my S4?
Well here you go.
My original answer: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-4-4-2-nb1-t2850878/post54978150#post54978150
The problem is, in order to get WiFi working, you need to install the NB1 modules, but to do that, you need to install Safestrap. However, you can not install Safestrap because the app keeps closing on you. There is a simple fix to this, which I will explain later. For now, just read this WHOLE post BEFORE you do anything, and keep in mind that I am NOT held liable if you mess up your phone. Use this at your own risk.
1.) Root your phone
If you're already rooted with something like SuperSU or Superuser, skip this. If not, read ahead. Download and install the Towelroot APK file attached to this post, open it, and click 'make it ra1n'. If your phone didn't reboot, now you have root (they need to trademark that). Now, down below, I also included the APK for SuperSU. Download and install it. Now open it. When you open it, let it install the 'Normal' way, not via the 'TWRP/CWM' way. Also, when it asks you to disable KNOX, say yes, wait a couple of minutes (it will still be loading) and reboot your phone. Open up SuperSU again, click 'Yes' to disable KNOX again, and now you have a good base to start from.
2.) Install Safestrap AFTER fixing the error
The error your are getting is easily fixed. Go to the Play Store and install 'SELinux Mode Changer'. Open it, grant it root access, and change the mode to 'Permissive'. Now, open up Safestrap again (you mentioned you already installed it), and it shouldn't force close. Click 'Install', and if the 'Reboot to Recovery' option below is not grayed out after that then it worked.
3.) Download and install the NB1 modules
On your phone, download the included NB1 modules ZIP file I attached for you, and once that is done you need to reboot. After the Galaxy S4 logo, you'll see a screen that says 'SAFESTRAP: DISABLED' and there will be a little robot. TIP: To enter Safestrap, press the menu button (physical, hardware key) under 'Recovery' at that screen. To continue to Android, press the back key (again, physical) under the 'System' tab. For now, press the menu button under 'Recovery'. Now, click 'Install' which should be in red, click 'Add zips', and navigate to your Downloads folder. Now click on the NB1 modules ZIP you just downloaded. Swipe to install, and reboot. This time, hit the back key under 'System'.
All done!
Now, Android should (and will) boot up, and you'll have working WiFi! If, for some odd reason, you don't have WiFi- do NOT panic! Just search around for the MF3 modules and flash those! All is good, all is good. A lot of this guide was taken from my post about my personal method of SIM unlocking the AT&T Galaxy S4 without the dialer codes or an AT&T SIM. It was just modified a little to work for you.
Remember, hit thanks!

Those are my exact words. Also, the attached files (NB1 modules, SuperSU, Towelroot, etc.) can be found attached to my post in the link above. Have a good night, and best of luck! :good::good::good:

See the thread I started with a similar problem.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att/help/rogers-samsung-s4-4-2-2-i337m-wifi-t3256535
Would I be able to use this fix?
So im gonna take the OTA for NG2 again and before I unroot and flash it this time isnt there a way I can pull the update from my files after i download it so people can use it to flash the update manually from their external sd card without waiting for the OTA?
There is a way to do so by allowing your phone to download the update file and then pull it from cache, but I'm not sure of the details.
@frostedunit Yeah I already did it lol and it works. But now my problem is I flashed it multiple times and it doesn't update my baseband or software to NG2 it only changes my build number. Also i cant turn on wifi.. it says "Your phones security has blocked an action that is not permitted. No further action is required"?
Good old Samsung trying to lock their **** down like Apple.
Don't suppose you could try to pull the modem files the way you did for NAE? I probably won't get the update till the last darn day.
That's only thing I really wanted to do was update to the latest modem lol. But I would need some directions on how to do it.
I opened up the update.zip file and found 2 files called
modem.bin.img.p
NON-HLOS.bin.img.p
I'm pretty sure you have to have the modem active, but see if this jogs your memory:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50294725
OK I know how to do that but I still have the same NAE modem on my phone. After I took the NG2 OTA should my modem have updated to NG2 also or stay at NAE?
I would think so. If you saved the update from cache, you could try flashing it in recovery and then factory resetting to see if it sticks.
I tried that lol that's what worked for me on the NAE update to get the modem to flash but now I took the OTA and then manually flashed the update from my external sd card multiple times and keep getting the same results. I'll try a couple more times to see if it sticks.
If I can get the modem to flash correctly I can pull it by following the directions in the link that you posted.
Are you flashing with a custom recovery or stock? You should have to rename the file update.zip and put it on the root of your internal storage and use the stock recovery to get it to work.
(I'm just throwing things out there. I'm in no way implying that you don't know what you're doing, just trying to work through this.)
Yeah I forgot to change the name that might help lol and yeah I used stock recovery it actually updated my recovery on the first flash to NG2.
Still isn't working.. I'll keep trying but I'll probably end up waiting for the .tar file to be released. Either this update doesn't update the modem and software to say NG2 or the stock recovery is just having trouble flashing it.
Edit
There is an option in recovery to apply update from adb if I knew how to do that it would probably work.

I still think it's really crazy that this update blocks our phone from using wifi.. that's serious lol.

Probably some security crap with the mismatch between the build and baseband numbers.
Thanks for giving it a shot!
I updated through adb sideload and still no new modem lol.
Problem solved
I downgraded to MK2 modem and then reflashed NAE modem and took the update again from my external sd card and the NG2 modem stuck this time lol.
And it also fixed my wifi problem
Hi, I started a thread needing help with my wifi but it has developed into not even being able to boot at all; it stops at the galaxy logo and either freezes or keeps booting. I have gone to the Odin page with all the different things to do and flashed the file to get back to the original rom but that is really where the trouble began. right now the only thing I can do with my phone is get into download mode, I can't even get into recovery. I have flashed a pit file that worked the first time but I don't know if that is part of the problem or not. Can someone please give me some directions, thanks
Also the phone won't boot at all unless hooked up to a power supply, the battery alone doesn't do anything.

More info is needed. What firmware / bootloader are you on? Was it rooted? Did you have a custom recovery installed? What version of ODIN are you using?

It is the AT&T s4. To be honest I don't know what firmware I am on, it is the one the Odin page said to use if you want to go back to stock. I never rooted it. The bootloader would be whatever the latest update was for this phone. I can't get into it to tell you anymore. I am using ODIN 10, the latest one. thanks
Well I finally got into recovery and did a factory reset, now it boots into the AT&T white splash screen before it just turns off. I am also wondering if my battery just died for some reason?

It is the AT&T s4. To be honest I don't know what firmware I am on, it is the one the Odin page said to use if you want to go back to stock. I never rooted it. The bootloader would be whatever the latest update was for this phone. I can't get into it to tell you anymore. I am using ODIN 10, the latest one. thanks

ODIN 10? Try using ODIN 3.09 and see if that helps. The latest update would be Android 4.4.4 NJ4 firmware. This link should help you, it will give you root with safe strap recovery though: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att/general/guide-odin-to-stock-updating-rooting-t2926642
I meant 3.10, I will try the older version. What file should I flash?

Check out the link I posted in my last post. It should help you get your phone fixed.
I have been there. I went to the very last option which seems to be what I need unless I am missing something.
Neither odin 3.09 or 3.10 will even flash any file now. it either says invalid md5 or fails when it attempts it.
Well, I finally got it to boot into android but it is flaky at best. It is android 4.3 instead of 4.4 where it was initially. The wifi still doesn't work and now the keyboard keeps crashing everytime I do something. The build is jss15j1337ucuemk2 which I know is older than I had before. Does this give anyone a better idea of what I need to do? If I can get a stable flash then can I flash a modem file to fix the wifi? I really need some direction, thanks
Turns out the battery was completely drained which was causing some of the boot problems, I don't now how that happened but I am charging it now.
Well after using odin 3.8* I got it to install some older firmware ending in mk2 rather than the nc1 or nf4 that I had before the trouble. After I got it to boot, I went back into download mode and flashed the modem file and now everything works execpt I had to force stop Samsung keyboard and use swype. I would like to upgrade my firmware but since for a couple of more weeks it won't have a sim card I can't upgrade OTA. For some reason Kies says that firmware upgrade and initialization isn't supported with this model which makes no sense to me. It also says my firmware is up to date
Does anyone know how to flash to the latest firmware without me going through this nightmare again? thanks

If I were in your shoes I'd flash the nb1 tar file in Odin, any vein should work. See this for the tar file http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=56453100. You can then ota to the latest firmware which is 4.4.4, nj4

Download a firmaware for your region from sammobile and flash it via odin 3.10. It will solve most of your problems

I agree. But google has basically all he needs. More so rapidgator
I haven't found anything from Samsung to download. If I flash a newer build, do I also need to flash a modem file and a bootloader or can I just flash the PDA? thanks for explaining this to me.
And can I do a dirty flash so I don't have to lose everything again?
well, now I see that there is no sound. so I guess I will have to flash again.

There's. Something I'm yet to understand. Did you finally manage to boot into recovery? If so, flash a custom recovery (I recommend philz touch recovery) then use it to make complete wipe.
Then boot into download mode and flash latest pda firmware in the compressed file you downloaded. Ps: make sure it's from your region.
May be if you provided me with your region I'd get you all the files required
Just got this phone in yesterday as a replacement for a water damaged LG G3. Thought to myself that I was pretty good at rooting, flashing etc. so I decided that would be the first thing I would do. Long story short, I rooted the phone just fine and even flashed the non-bloatware-filled rom available with little problem. Then I tried to flash xposed with flashfire and, well, things didn't go so smoothly. Ended up getting stuck on the AT&T splash screen after every reboot. To attempt a fix for this I thought I would just use Odin to flash stock, what I thought was stock but was really 930UUEU, once again. I am now realizing that I flashed the wrong firmware and am currently trying to flash G930AAT once more but keep getting "FAIL! Model dismatch fail" in Odin.
Open to any suggestions at this point as I am at a loss. I've tried using a different version of Odin, 3.12.3, but to no avail have not been able to get it right. Let me know if you need any more information as to help me with this problem. Thanks in advance!
You're probably flashing an older firmware than what's on phone? Which verison are you trying to flash?

Currently the phone boots straight into recovery. I get the update droid that fails and am sent to the options where it has me as running G930UUEU2APEH. I am pretty certain that this is the firmware I mistook as stock and half-flashed with odin. Still able to get into download mode so let's hope I can work this out!
Download the U firmware that I posted and flash that. Should flash fine. I've done it several times with the mode Odin from the root thread with zero issues

Worked like a charm. Is there anything I should know about being on U firmware while having the 930A?

Alright, looks like I may have run into another problem. I've rooted and flashed xposed properly this time. Kept getting a security warning so I thought it would be okay to uninstall SecurityLogAgent.apk and I am now unable to install apps. This may just be a coincidence and it may be that I have a different problem. May also be important to note that I have to reinput my WiFi password after every reset.

Reflash the U firmware and that will restore the security log agent app. If your rooted you'll get that notification, you'll need to freeze one of the security apps in titanium. As for the WiFi password there is a fix for it in this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039/page230.
Also you should probably flash his V15 fixes it will fix multiple things when you root.

Okay, flashed everything again. Everything was working great and now I am getting that error -505 again when trying to install apps.

I did, it fixed my WiFi issues and being I flashed the debloat version it also got rid of Instagram etc. so I am certain it worked. Could it have something to do with me installing lucky patcher?

Just an update. After some deduction I decided it must be lucky patcher. Uninstalled it, wiped dalvik cache and everything seems to be fine. I am still cautiously optimistic.
I'm no help on the root issues. Root isn't what it used to be so I don't really mess with it anymore.
