Sure did. I tried every wipe and reset possible and still nothing. I'm downloading a 4.3 ROM to see if that fixes anything..

A flash of the MDL modem made GPS work again......
Sent from my SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2

You just flash the MDL modem via odin or Safestrap? Is this ok to do over MK2?
edit: You are a life saver... Flashing the MDL modem with safestrap/twrp fixed my gps!!!!!!

My phones originally mdb and I never let it update so I just used twrp

Sacs rom was the one time I had problems,, I ended up getting corrupted partitions and had to Odin back,, after the initial fail I was able to go back to a nand but everything was jacked,, something dosent play nicely with twrp and v8, it was mentioned in the thread somewhere I remember reading about it,,, let me go find it I'll be back

If you are still having radio issues you could always just Odin the mf9 modem or if you are wanting to come to MJA Unknownforce has the modem tar
One more thing when you had no radio did you happen to look at about device and see what you had under software and baseband?

Well that's most likely your problem, if you want sacs rom and you are going to stay on 4.2 then flash V8, it is an awesome rom with everything working, very much a DD, HERE IS THE LINK
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2359590
The rom you flashed is with MJA not mf9, even though it might be possible to upgrade modem through sacs rom it's more than likely to leave you with some bugs, if you decide to try V8 (I highly recommend) let me know how it goes :sly::sly::thumbup:

Just flashing to MJA might not work, you will most likely have to use Odin, flash the MJA tar, only if you are wanting to upgrade (^_-)

Mistakingly flash international ROM

OOPS.
I flash an international ROM before realizing what I did!
The ROM was EchoeROM, 4.4. Custom recovery is TWRP.
In it's current state, I cannot boot to recovery. I CAN boot to download mode but Odin fails repeatedly.
I attempted the firmware recovery via Kies, but (as we know) it's ****. Kies asks for a S/N and no matter how correct it is (lol) it's not valid to Kies.
With ODIN I've tried 2 different kinds of 1-click flashes, one is stock w/ root, the other without root. And also the traditional ODIN3v1.85 with L720VPUAMDC_L720SPTAMDC_L720VPUAMDC_HOME that I got from stockroms.
so, help? anyone? :crying:
Had you taken the 4.3 OTA? If so, you will have to Odin the MK2 of MJA tar to get back to stock.

+1 That's what I was thinking too. I'm pretty sure on the E4GT if someone flashed the International version they needed to use a JTAG service to fix it. This is the first time I have read about this problem on this phone though so maybe not as bad???
As long as download mode boots, it's fixable.

I'll try flashing anything I can get that works lol Part of the problem is all the different things I've attempted to flash via Odin have all failed. I'll try this and report.
EDIT: Is this the best mirror for this? It's terrrrribly slow.

[Q] Need Wifi Help (Not turning on)

I was running MJA/CM10.2 but needed to update my PRL.
In the process, I decided to update to MK2/CM11.
I started by flashing Stock MK2 w/Root ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2586586) then ODINd the MK2 Firmware (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42954149) to get Sense.
PRL and Profile updates, noticed that my Wifi wasn't connecting at that point.
Flashed CM11's Snapshot (http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=jfltespr&type=snapshot), flashed Wifi Fix, and my wifi is stuck on "Turning on wifi" and won't get past that point.
Anyone know what I need to do to get wifi restored? I've been searching for solutions for about an hour and can't really find one.
You have to wipe your phone to get it to work. And possible Odin a tar. Those have been the ooy two ways i have been able to solve it.

I've tried multiple Factory Wipes to fix it, to no avail.
I flashed the stock rom and MK2 firmware to get a Sense rom so I could update PRL and Profile.

If you're on MF9 boot loader then Odin that since by you asking that question it seems you don't have Knox at all.

Last time I checked, aosp Roms don't work with the i337 because of the locked boot loader. And last time I checked we don't have a root method (this could have very well changed, I was off for a month or two) for NB1 4.4. If you were to do a work around you may be able to get black box working but I'm not sure.

You can get BlackBox 3.0 to work.
Follow Deadly Venom KitKat Magic Tool (DVKMT) thread to partial downgrade to MK2. Root using saferoot. Follow DVKMT to install BlackBox3.0. More in All things AT&T MK2 and NB1
Note: With BB3.0, gmail and camera will FC. To solve this, uninstall them using titanium backup and install the latest from play store.
There are other ROMs that have AOSP options.
1. FoxHound v4.6.1
2. GoldenEye v29 with Domination v2.1 theme
3. ChaosRom v2.5.2
