EDIT: I was able to get mobile data working by manually putting in APN information. Sometimes the Wifi will show APs to connect to and when I try it just stalls and then auto turns back off.
I have frequented these forums for years now without really needing to post a thing or ask a question til now. I have also looked all over the forums and subforums and google for a solution.
I was updated to MK2 as soon as I got my phone. I then was able to root it successfully and installed SafeStrap. I never really got to play with it much and from what I read it didnt really work at all with this build. Anyhow, I decided to go ahead and do a factory reset via the stock recovery and all went fine. I then decided to try and get rid of some bloatware since I cant by any other means currently. I stumbled upon SchoolSux script TrulyClean and ran it. After it was successful I booted back up to notice that my Wifi and Data wasnt working at all. I am able to make calls and text and the phone functions correctly thus far.
I have tried installing modems via Odin, SS TWRP Recovery and even tried connecting to Kies to perhaps get all stock again. Which at this point would be great. I have even tried going down to the MJ6 Modem FW with success but still nothing.
I really need some help and pointers here guys. Of course I rushed this all and didnt make a back up, I expect to be flamed for that, lol. Thanks in advance for any help.
It is the I337 - ATT with MK2 4.3
hmm
Well I was able to get Deadly Venom SS Edi. on my ROM 1 emu via SS and everything works fine. So it seems like I just need like a fresh pure install of the full MK2 build am i right?
Well I wanted to avoid this but following Ted77USA's post found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2573080&nocache=1 POST #3. I followed it verbatim even though i wasnt completely bricked, just didnt have WIFI and APN settings auto load. However, following it word for word got me back to original condition with working wifi and APN auto populated.
THANK YOU SO MUCH TED!

I have used custom roms for a while about 4 years on various models, I consider myself to know enough to get the job done and sometimes I know enough to get myself in trouble.
I ungraded my Galaxy S4 Sprint phone firmware to NAE from (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2338919), and then I put the KitKat rom from (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2650706), and when it came up, it did not have Data or Cell connectivity, (Said Unknown in settings screen) it had Wifi, and it had NO SOUND at all. So I moved back and put a 4.3 rom on there, and I got back the Data and Cell connectiviy, but still no SOUND at all, and when I used the Dialer app and dial a number it went to a white screen and then locked up and Force Closed.
Then I tried to go back and put MK2 firmware on from that same post above with same results. I have tried many ROM's of many varieties of Android and NO SOUND at all.
I am using Philz Recovery and doing the Wipe for Clean Install many times and then rebooting back into recovery mode before I install any Rom. I am using Odin 3.07 for the Modem firmware updates and have no indication that they are installing wrong.
I have searched for the solution on these forums and googleing it for the better part of 4 hours (At a late night job). I have not been able to fix it.
Please help. I have wifi, I can text and receive texts. I can not make phone calls or recieve phone calls. I can not play sounds or hear any sounds come from phone. Haptic response happens when it should.
I plan on going and downloading one of the Sprint Stock Roms to take it back to stock through and through to see if that helps and will post it that works, but if there is another solution with detailed steps to take, let me know.
[SOLVED] No SOUND after update.

And that Plan worked. I downloaded the stock MK2 rom from sammobile website, using the free signup and then I used Odin 3.09 putting that rom in the AP spot.
Afterwards, I was Knoxed and Un Rooted, but I had SOUND where as before I did not.
So back to the process of de-knoxing and rooting.
I did find this process on XDA finally. Thanks.

i'm having thesame issue, flashed NAE modem and every ROM after that has had no sound, constant re-boots, locking up, some ROMS work fine, others are unusable, but they all have the same problem: no sound. I'm goin g to flash back stock like you did, glad i searched before i created a thread just like yours, wish me luck.
First off, hi everyone. This is my first post here after browsing for a few weeks. Yesterday I went ahead and rooted my AT&T s4 with the whole reason for doing so wanting to use wireless hotspot for free, and it isn't working.
Tl;dr I tried the TetheringProvision.apk mod technique and it just crashes my settings menu.
Full story:
After softbricking my phone and having to bring it into att 2 days ago I finally figured out a method of rooting it. I got this phone very recently and it came with the 4.4.2 (NB1) update pre-installed. I used the downgrade/root/safestrap method (using the OTA zip method because the stock with root zip wouldn't get past the att splash screen) and am back on 4.4.2/NB1. Everything is working, root included (verified by successfully changing system file names), but when I try to put in the TetheringProvision.apk file that used to work for the hotspot on my old MK2 phone from some other thread on this forum it just crashes my settings menu. The error I get is a "settings has stopped" popup and it kicks me out right when I move the "mobile hotspot on" slider. I'm really hoping there's a simple solution here, but if worst comes to worst I guess I'll just have to try a different rom? Attached is a screen shot of my about device. I really hope someone will be able to help, thanks in advance.
Ok, so I'm now thinking about backing up this rom in safestrap, and re-flashing the backup I made of the MK2 downgrade that I used to install the root. The problem with that was the wifi not working, but I just found a post about bypasslkm. Only problem is that I don't fully understand how to use bypasslkm and even through search I can't find a good guide on it. Could anyone here walk me through the dumbed down version of how to use it? From what I understand I flash the bypasslkm.zip just like I would any other rom, but I don't really get what to do after that. I'm kind of surprised that I'm the first one to have either of these issues, I couldn't find any good information via search.

There is a tethering AddOn in the same NB1_100%_Stock_Rooted_ROM & NB1 KeepRoot OTA zip thread that you can flash in safestrap.
Hi everyone, long time reader, first time poster.
First of all, i want to let you all know how i appreciate all the hard work you guys do on here. i was able to get all the info i needed to get my ATT n7105 back to stock after running CM 10.2 for the last year on it.
Back on topic...i have an S4 i337 running 4.3 MK2. when i first flashed it, for the longest time i couldnt figure out why i couldnt get signal or wifi, and found out needed to flash the MK2 modem firmware also (thanks for the info on that also). now the issue i am having is that now the phone has no sound at all, tried playing music, recieving a call (which makes the phone go total bonkers too), or even the beep it makes when adjusting the volume. I have tried searching for info on sound issues, but that was one thing i was unsuccessful with.
when i first got the phone, it had 4.2.2 (not sure of the firmware) and wanted to unlock it to use any carrier rather than just ATT. the only way of unlocking it, rather than getting an unlock code, was to go into service mode, and navigate through some menus, but i read that with 4.2.2, i could not, so i done an /ota update, which brought me straight to 4.4.3. after the unpdate, tried doing the service mode again, and had no luck, so tried downgrading to 43].3, than went to hell trying to get it working, untill coming across these forums, and got it working again with 4.3 MK2, but as mentioned, with no sound.
Any advice on what to try?
Thanks in advance.

You don't have sound or the ability to call because your bootloader and non-hlos don't match. You can get sound by flashing the NB1 or NC1 modems(including non-hlos.bin) but that will break your wifi which can be fixed by using bypasslkm.
Sure, ill give that a try.
What if i were to update it to 4.4.3? any certain modems required there?

Whenever i tried flashing NB1 or NC1, i get an error saying "signature verification failed, then later on give an error "unknown path \sdcard1" after wiping data, then reboots. and when the phone rebooted, it goes through the first time setup after a wipe, and then checking the modem, and its still NK2.
I really would like to get it to the current version.

Hey all! so.. my friend came from U.S and he got me a used Galaxy 4 from AT&T, and the Wifi is just stuck on a green grey situation, its not on or off
i tried any solution online that i could find. i don't know what to do anymore. nothing helping the things that are only helping was changing the router settings to a different encryption mode from WEP and then its worked but when i connected my gs4 to a different wifi connection the problem happened again
the wifi can work days if I'm not switching wifi spots.
my only solution by now was just to change to a whole new custom ROM
the problem is, that i have NO IDEA how to do it due the fact that i have a mac and i couldn't find a Proper noob guide from scratch to do that. please help me! i am a graphic designer and an artist with a MA in fine arts and i would love to help u guys too
Thank you so much!

This is what I used to get adb/fastboot on my iMac. I am on MDL build, early version phone.
You will need to find you build number first. Under Settings/About Device to determine how to flash roms on the phone--a screen of that page may help also--

hey thanks i added a photo but apparently i need 10 posts at least so just add www i58.tinypic.com/v41bue.png
the wifi is working cuz i restart it to manufacture settings again but soon as i will disconnect him and join a different connection he will go grey again
From the PM photo you are on NB1 build--
If you are going to root to flash a custom rom you will need the below two links--
Read Op page of first link, I think it depends on how the phone got to NB1 as which steps you need.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2616221
You will need SafeStrap in below link. So, read up on that.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448925
These are if you are going to root to flash a rom. You can only flash Touch Wiz roms and no custom kernels or recovries.
If you want to get back to stock status you will need to flash the appropriare firmware and use Odin on a PC and Heimdall on Mac. Will have to research that.
What carrier are you on and where you are at?
Was the phone ever rooted--
I never returned to stock or used SafeStrap, so someone with hands on experience will have to help on that.
Hiii....I am also having the same problem.My phone was unlocked by a guy and everything was working fine then.From next day the i could not turn on WiFi(It would go grayish for some time and then return to normal).I tried searching for it online and found the following soln
1)Reboot and check(Didn't work)
2)Factory Reset:After doing this it worked for that initial scanning but again was back to normal once wifi was switched off
3)Factory reset and installed root browser(my phone is rooted as i was able to install root explorer) and tried renaming the wpa-supplant config file
.This was worked for me for like 4 days.
After that again the problem is back and its even worse.It is immediately turning off as opposed to delay in previous case.When i tried to follow the same procedure the config files are not present.I could not on wifi even after factory reset even once
As i am a new around here detailed help would be appreciated;
My Device Features:
1)Andriod:4.4.2,SGH I337
2)Baseband:I337UCUFNC1
3)kernel Version:3.4.0-1125940
4)Build No:KOT49H.I337UCUFNC1
I rooted to 4.4.2 and it went fine- then I realized I had lost wi-fi.
I have tried to restore and tried using odin and zip files to install a stock rom after I found a similar problem with link on
Sprint forums saying it will fix the ""button won't stay on" but the fix only works if the device is in stock rom.
answer on Sprint forum says baseband version was mk2 needs to be nae.
Return the phone to stock, run the fix for the wi-fi and then re-root.
I have downloaded and ran several roms that say they are stock- I've factory reset, cleared cache, no matter what I do,
I end up with a rooted device in 4.4.2 and no wi-fi. If I could just get the wi-fi back I would take it at this point
This was just a little quick upgrade that turned bad and long
The Sprint forum had a link to get it to nae, but wont work if rooted., so need to put the phone back to stock- run the patch and then can upgrade to kit kat again
TLDR: I cannot get my Sprint s4 back to any version that isn't rooted. I have tried several (lots) of roms that say" stock-unrooted" rom,
Never goes back to stock- stays rooted without wifi-
Ran a rom VPUAMDC_L720SPTAMDC_SPR but when I install I get msge "ifooter is wring signature invalid" - and it fails.
reformatted the sd card, tried different roms and get some message and it stays rooted and no wifi.
TLDR: need to get stock rom so I can get back wi-fi and then root the whole thing. as 4.4.2 Or 4 , if it exists)
Any options and any ideas as to where or what to do?
EDIT: for clarity cause I am not making much sense at this point
Thanks
Heh... a TL;DR for a TL;DR... the internet is becoming one crazy place.

Maybe a dumb question, but why not just unroot first, then?
