appears to be working kudos smashersh72 very great full for your help :victory:

When Kies upgraded the firmware it updated the bootloader. Unfortunately you are stuck on Official firmware MHG8 and higher. There are some roms out now with an official MH8 base and you might be able to flash the CM110 roms BUT at this point
Omega is MH1 base so you can't flash this...

[Q] Wifi not working after different ROM flashing

Wifi not working after I flash my I9505 with ROM I9505XXUGNE5_I9505OJVFNE1_KSA
My earlier ROM(stock) version was I9505XXUBMEA
Please help.

have you updated the baseband?

maybe need to flash NON-HLOS (Wifi Fix). This is the LTE modem and should match the installed baseband otherwise wifi and sound problems may occur.

you mean reflash the new ROM again, or same old ROM? I don't want to go back to my old stock ROM due no kitkat update for it..

I just had the same problem as you. After a lot of reading, this is how I solved it:
1) Wipe data/cache and re-flash the original stock rom (everything back to day 1 from new)
2) Donwload and flash the modem for the new ROM you want in the phone slot
3) Flash the same new modem again, but uncheck "auto reboot". Once done, manually turn off the phone
4) Flash the new modem a 3rd time with "auto reboot" checked again. In settings > about device, the boot loader should now be updated.
5) Flash the CWD recovery (or custom recovery of choice)
6) Flash the new ROM
DONE

I have flashed the modem successfully, now the baseband has been updated. Then I reflashed the new ROM using ODIN. But still the wifi doesn't work.

Well i kind of know the rules of XDA.
But here's the catch, i have tried that method mentioned above.
Downloaded the .tar file and flashed via Odin. And now my phone is stuck on Samsung logo forever.
That's why posted here.

Hey
You are only flashing a kernel...not a full 4.4.2 original image.
And that's why you're stock on the boot logo.
Regards.

take the battery out wait 5-10 secs and enter to download mode to avoid modem issues.
its not recomendable but if you have a backup of a pit file for your phone select it and thick re-partition, this is dangerous but may help with bootloop only if flashing the firmware with no repartition work, repartition with out a pit file may brick your device.

Thank you for the reply
I will give it a try and let you know the results.

One more noob question..
I did a back up of my touchwiz before converting to CM.
And i got the back up file as normal file folder instead a zip file.
I wonder if there is a way to restore it.
I already tried zipping it and restoring from philz recovery...but it says bad file.

you´re welcome.
did you do the backup from philz recovery? i never did a backup from recovery, only with titanium, so i really dont know, but to restore a backup needs to be done from the same source that the backup was created. for the screen shots looks like a CWM recovery backup good luck.

sLIGHTLY RE-eDIT OF PREVIOUS POST :
yes its a cwm backup file created with philz..
And i was able to restore it via the recovery under restore oiption.
but after the first samsung screen (samsung galaxy s4) and a blue T logo, it gets struck on the third screen with only samsung written on it with a solid blue led.
(( what the heck am i doing wrong.

Anyway i flashed the full image with odin..(taken from your link).
And back to touchwiz again.
Thanks a lot.
One more thing is, it changed my baseband version a bit.
Build number : I9506XXUCNJ1
bASEBAND vERSION : I9506XXUCNF3
IS THAT A PROBLEM ?
BEST REGARDS.

Sorry to bother you again.
But i am facing a new kinda problem now with custom recoveries.
After flashing NEE-I9506XXUCNJ1-20141114075501 yesterday it got auto updated to 5.0.1 lollipop .
Now i am stuck with stock recovery.
Tried to flash philz 6.x.x.x as before with odin. The odin process completes itself and reboots the phone.
But when i try to get into recovery still its booting in stock recovery.
Any solution on how can i flash custom recovery on this ?
Additional info
Baseband version : I9506XXUDOA6
bUILD NUMBER : LRX22C. I9506XXUDOA6

Flash your Favorite Custom Recovery with Odin 3.xx and put it to AP. Check that Auto Reboot isn't marked. After successful flashing your Phone won't to reboot. USB Cable out and put your Battery out and wait few seconds. Put your Battery in and reboot it to Recovery. The Stock Recovery can't now overwrite the Custom Recovery.

in lollipop i used TWRP recovery (TWRP_2.8.4.0_ks01lte_20150207.tar.md5)https://www.mediafire.com/folder/p3rwwfm7xn76x/TWRP flashed with odin 1.85 no problems.
but after rooting with cf autoroot http://download.chainfire.eu/502/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-ks01lte-ks01ltexx-gti9506.zip( extract and flash with odin in pda) because cf autorrot flash stock recovery after rooting.
Important after rooting flash immediately custom recovery, if you boot in stock recovery after root all apps will force close and you will need to wipe data (stock recovery wipe data will delete internal memory as well), so do not boot in stock recovery.

Yeah ofc,just download odin for your phone,find stock rom here http://live.samsung-updates.com/ download, go to odin check pda etc (i think you know how to flash rom in odin) then go download mode and flash. After it you have clear phone, stock rom , no recovery , no root.
