**EDIT**
This issue was solved for myself and another member here by tracking down the appropriate latest stock firmware for our regions and flashing it with Odin. Note that it took multiple flashes of the same firmware in Odin before it was actually fixed.
**Original Post**
Hi All,
I have a SGH-I337M from Rogers (Canada) and I'm having a hell of a time getting my phone working again. Here's the complete history. I originally took it from stock 4.2.2 to 4.4 Gummy ROM. Everything was working fine with that. I then found out about the easy sim unlock with the stock touchwiz ROM, so I plugged it into Kies to restore it to factory. However, I didn't realize (about a week ago) that they were rolling out the 4.3 update, so lo and behold I wound up with 4.3.
The unlock method was not working on this, so I got hold of the 4.2.2 official ROM and flashed it with Odin. It was at this time that I realized the 4.3 update included the knox bootloader (I think that's the bootloader? I'm still pretty green with this stuff), so of course I wind up with persisting flags showing warranty void, kernel is not seapermissive or whatever the error is, etc etc. ALSO, it was at the time of the 4.3 update that I realized wifi and sound do not work anymore. I flashed back to the Gummy rom, wifi starts working again but not sound.
PHEW, if you made it through that, thanks for your time! Anyway I'm now back at 4.2.2 because I figured I'd try the unlocking at least and... it doesn't work. I read from others that the wifi and sound not working had to do with the modem firmware not matching what the kernel expects, so I took my wifes phone (which is still running 4.2.2 and the unlock worked, also a SGH-I337M), ran the following:
Code:
su
cd mnt/sdcard/
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 of=backup-NON-HLOS.bin
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 of=backup-modem.bin
Copied those dumps, wrote them to my busted phone with:
Code:
su
dd if=NON-HLOS.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1
dd if=modem.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2
reboot
And.... all that to no avail. I'm literally just fumbling through this now because this stuff is going beyond the scope of what I know. Anyone who can help or point me in the right direction would be most appreciated! Thanks for your time!
Fixed
Alright so, as I mentioned the official rogers 4.3 update over Kies is what I believe caused these problems in the first place. What I did however was get hold of the latest official build from this link (RWC-I337MVLUEMK6-20131125124040) and flash it in Odin. Oddly enough after the flash, all is working. Perhaps there is a broken version being pushed out over Kies.

Buddy! You're having the exact same problems I had. Can you tell me what carrier you are with and post your exact model here (like mine is SGH-i337M). The solution for me was to end up flashing (for the 4th or 5th time) the original stock touchwiz from branded by my carrier. The kernel warnings and such all went away, all sound and wifi works again (see my above posts). You might also be able to just flash the modem file for your phone, the CM version. Anyway post that stuff (exact model, carrier etc) and I'll see if I can help!

Here ya go buddy, found it on terafile. Click this link here. ProTip! Use Bitcomet to do the HTTP download (copy the link once it starts downloading) and set the max connections to 20. This way you'll bypass the download throttle and download at full speed. Follow up and let me know if it works out for you!
In case you don't know, extract the zip, open Odin, click "PDA" and select the .md5 file you extracted. Put your phone into download mode by powering off and then powering on while holding the volume down rocker. It'll ask you to press volume up to confirm. Plug the phone in now and Odin will recognize the phone is ready for flashing (will say added! in the text field). Go ahead and click start. Note that this is a very big file so after you select it in Odin it will freeze for a while while it calculates the MD5 sum.

You can't flash it through recovery you have to use Odin and yes 3.09 should work fine. Make sure you extract the zip first and select the .md5 file that gets extracted from the zip. ALSO note that this will replace your custom recovery. I have not yet attempted to replace the stock recovery after flashing and fixing my phone, so I cannot tell you if it will work or not. At this point I'm just happy to have my phone working again so I'm not tampering and leaving it at stock. Also note that once you flash 4.3 the boot loader will be replaced so that if you tamper with the phone (flash anything new etc) it will permanently set a flag that you cannot change which indicates that your warranty is now void.
Stock Kernel Fix It but ....
Hello Furinax, i download and flash the original ROM with Odin v3.09, the stock Kernel fix it, but the Wifi and the sound still tethering, don´t work both of them, do you recommend flashing again? Or what can i do? Thanks and we keep in contact.

Yay! Glad to hear it. Just gotta watch and read lots before flashing custom roms. Some phones are a pain in the rear, some are fine. Usually stick to flagship phones for this. For example the Nexus series from Google, never had an issue flashing any of those phones. Anyway buddy I'm glad to hear it's all working, merry Christmas and happy new year to you too and God bless you as well. Take care!
I am going through this right now as we speak. I bought a S4 I337M tonight locked to Telus and am trying to unlock it for bell.....it was on 4.3 so yeah I tripped the knox bootloader which is ok because I do not have warranty on the phone BUT I installed 4.2.2 and tried the unlocking and of course it does not seem possible on the Telus i337m .....I followed all suggestions to a T so we must have to pay for codes....
Anyways I lost wifi and sound so i used odin to push back telus factory firmware mk6 and still have no wifi and sound ? Any ideas?
I am currently using odin and pushing it once again , fingers crossed
Any tips on both the unlocking and regaining sound and wifi ? thanks

Hey. So a couple of things. First, if you did the unlock process with the 4.2.2 rom, you unfortunately have to re flash the 4.2.2 rom and this time in the menu turn sim lock back on. Then, you can proceed to flash 4.3.3 and buy an unlock code. The reason you have to re flash and explicitly re - enable sim lock using the 4.2.2 menu is that once it fails, if you don't do that then even your purchased unlock code won't work!
So make sure you do that. I believe it's #*0101 then hit menu key, select back. Hit menu again, select number input, enter 1. Get the ddms main menu or whatever it's called where you can see network lock options and then select on instead of off. There is actually a video on YouTube of this exact issue and fix, I've just been moving for 4 days and am beat so if you get really stuck here I can find it tomorrow.
Once you do that re flash 4.3.3 with Odin but before you do, enter recover mode and wipe/factory reset/cache everything and of course ensure you are backed up first.
It has been my experience and others experience that you may need to re flash 4.3.3 multiple times before the wifi and other issues will be fixed. Don't panic, it'll work. Once you've got that all sorted, I bought my unlock codes (did this painful process on three sgh-1337m's) from cellunlocker.net and all went perfect. Let me know if you have any more questions!
Thanks! took 3 times to get back wifi and sound.....so odd.
I am now flashing 4.2 again and i will change the settings you mentioned back to locked than clear cache/factory wipe before going back to 4.3 and ordering my unlock code online....I dont understand why it works for some and not [email protected]!!!

Glad you got sound/wifi back! As far as why it sometimes works, phone had to be shipped with 4.2.2. Once they get upgraded to 4.3, the functionality is gone for reasons I'm not 100% on so I won't shoot my mouth off like I'm an expert. Lol enjoy your unlocked phone once you get it all sorted!
After the second flashing works, be patient

I did everything you said still doesnt work.
Having an issue with my father-in-law's SGH-I337 S4 (ATT). A few months ago my father-in-law had this S4 "unlocked" in Vietnam to use a local SIM and wifi/data hasn't worked since (calling works and I believe texts were ok too). New to Android but I gather they replaced the baseband or something (baseband was MJ9 while build was MJ6). Wifi toggle would not move at all, and data did not work. Also got a error message after trying to toggle the wifi.
I reflashed using the MK2 TAR (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2621279). That seemed to get data working and fixed the error but wifi doesn't really work. After first boot/setup, when it asks for wifi network/password, wifi seems to work and shows available wifi networks like expected. I select my network and enter password, then it just hangs for a bit then goes back to the wifi enable screen, with the on/off toggle not green and the area below just says "turning on". Rebooting doesn't change anything. Can't turn on after that. After a hard reset, I am able to do the setup again, but same thing... works to enter password but then never again.
Seems like the options to try are to reflash a kernel or try a 4.3 ROM, but I don't want to take a few steps back after the reflash got the data working again (at least it can be used as a phone again). Also, my main goal is obviously just getting it working like normal, but I also don't want to lose any future flashing because I was rash and did something I shouldn't have.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Your update to NB1 and use towel root method . I had the same problem when i owned this phone . Even after flashing the kerenel modules i still had no wifi . It will only be a problem for you if you are wanting to stay on the MK2 firmware . Just install Nb1 and after installing dont reboot system , reboot into download mode and flash the NB1 kernel modules and reboot . It may take up to 5 minutes to boot . I switched to the tmobile galaxy S4 and then S5 now because the locked bootloader is a pain in the a$$ and you cant install custom kernels as of last time i checked .

Having an issue with my father-in-law's SGH-I337 S4 (ATT). A few months ago my father-in-law had this S4 "unlocked" in Vietnam to use a local SIM and wifi/data hasn't worked since (calling works and I believe texts were ok too). New to Android but I gather they replaced the baseband or something (baseband was MJ9 while build was MJ6). Wifi toggle would not move at all, and data did not work. Also got a error message after trying to toggle the wifi.
I reflashed using the MK2 TAR (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2621279). That seemed to get data working and fixed the error but wifi doesn't really work. After first boot/setup, when it asks for wifi network/password, wifi seems to work and shows available wifi networks like expected. I select my network and enter password, then it just hangs for a bit then goes back to the wifi enable screen, with the on/off toggle not green and the area below just says "turning on". Rebooting doesn't change anything. Can't turn on after that. After a hard reset, I am able to do the setup again, but same thing... works to enter password but then never again.
Seems like the options to try are to reflash a kernel or try a 4.3 ROM, but I don't want to take a few steps back after the reflash got the data working again (at least it can be used as a phone again). Also, my main goal is obviously just getting it working like normal, but I also don't want to lose any future flashing because I was rash and did something I shouldn't have.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

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 would flash the nb1 tar file in Odin and see if that fixes the problem. It'll return your device to stock, the sim unlock will remain.

The abbreviations are the different types of recovery software that are generally used. TWRP = Team Win Recovery Project.
Plase take this in the spirit its intended, but if you can't use Towelroot, then you have some reading to do before you plug in anything. Trust me. Knowing all the steps you're going to take beforehand is going to save you a TON of trouble, you'll never be stuck with a brick, and you'll possibly save money.

Wifi is not turning on after installing cm12
I am using samsung galaxy tab 2 with CM12 . After installing CM12 i saw that my wifi was not turning on . Whenever i tried turning it on It showed 'error' message . What should i do and how do i fix it ? Help.
Hi guys, I will try and explain this as simple as possible.
I as trying to install cyanogenmod 11 on my phone, and everything seemed to go alright until I made a mistake. I used TWRP to first backup my stock rom on the phone, and then when I was supposed to reboot into the app, I accidently rebooted the phone.
Now the problem is that the phone does not have any OS installed, so what is happening is that it's trying to boot into an OS that's not there, and instead ends up being stuck on the Samsung logo. I can enter Odin mode just fine, but for the love of god I cannot seem to figure how to get back into the TWRP application, or if it is even possible.
I do have the backup of the ROM stored on my SD card, and I've now moved it over to my PC, but it still does not seem to help me in any way. I've trid to launch the Odin3 program on my pc, in an attempt to to try and launch in TWRP through that, but it has all been without any success, so now I come to this board of guinesses, asking for help!
As an added bit of information, this was my first time trying to install a custom rom, so yeah.. Puff..
- The lost Dane.
- Edit -
I tried to "flash" by doing what this link said, in the hopes that my phone would boot into the program, but alas, it only booted back to the logan saying "samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005" :/
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30694404
-- Edit Edit --
To make it super clear ... If I could get back into TWRP, I would be able to run my backup. I know how that app works, I just simply cannot get back into, and I do not know if it is even possible. I've searched and tried various guides to "flash TWRP through Odin" but it has all been without any success... :/

Did you hold volume up+home+power button to get into recovery mode?
In case your twrp get corrupted due to flashing failure previously
1. Download twrp from the following. 2.6.3.7 if you were running 4.3 or 2.6.3.8 if you were running 4.4.2(not sure if 2
6.3.8 is 4.3 compatible). For odin flashable use the one with .tar
http://www.techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/hlte
2. Get into download mode(vol down+home+power)
3. Link the downloaded .tar to pda in odin. Odin log should show 'added' once you connect phone to pc
4. Start the process. Once finish phone should boot into recovery automatically but it'll try to boot back into OS. Just hold vol up+home+power button to get back into recovery

When I do that, I get an ultra short blue text appearing on the screen, before it goes into downloading mode, with a red text saying "Could not do normal boot." So it basically goes right into odin mode.

I edited my post. You need to reflash twrp
You are an absolute god. I wish I could show my appreciation, but I fear words isn't even enough to even begin.. I managed to get into TWRP now, though my backup rom doesn't show up anymore, but I suppose that's because I run a different version of TWRP than I did first? Idk, but really appreciate that you were able to get me back into TWRP.

I really do appreciate the help you've given, but I have one final request, and I really do hope it isn't too much to ask. Say I am unable to find the same version of TWRP, I will have to actually flash cyanogenmod onto my device. I don't think it should be too tough now that I've managed to launch into TWRP, because now I should be able to just put the rom on my SD card, and then install the files, no?
if it helps you, my device is SM-N9005, and I had 4.3 when I started this whole thing. Cheers!
- Edit.
I tried to download the Nighty build from CyanogenMod's own homepage, but when I try and install it, it says failed, giving me an erro that says "This package is for "hlexx" devices: This is a." That's all it says ... Hmfh. Sooooooooo... Yes! I'm in recovery mode now, but without any rom. :/

Yes you can flash any cm based rom.
You can also flash any stock rom such as SweetRom/X-Note/BobCat as most developers still keeping 4.3 rom in their thread.

Believe so. It's because of updater script i guess as described in the link

Try flashing chenglu's 6.0.4.5 recovery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2454079
Just the same as you did for twrp. I think i read somewhere that changing recovery helped some people.
The worst just download sweetrom/x-note/bobcatrom or any stock 4.3 based rom if you deperately need the phone to boot up

So after having spent the better half of the night, I actually managed to get my phone to boot into cyanogenmod 11 ! But that joy was shortlived when I came to realize that wi-fi wasn't working, and I couldn't get it to work. I tried to factory reset as I had read would help, but alas it did no good. I figured I should try and run back a stock 4.4.2 rom and just be done with it, but that was when I realized I had lost my root (?!) so that wasn't really a possibility either, next I set out to try and find a way to root my phone now running cyanogenmod 11. I found a file here on XDA called "CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.tar" but whenever I try and flash that onto my phone, my phone just stays stuck saying "trying to enter into recovery mode" and does not really go anywhere from there. I can get back into recovery mode if I flash "n9005-cwm-recovery-6.0.4.5(1116)" onto the phone, like you said, but that still leaves me without root access, which I need to throw a rom onto my device?! Arrrgh, this is getting silly, I just wish I could go back to my backup/ default rom on the device, but I can't.

About the cf auto root make sure you flash the one for 4.3. I believe you flashed the one for 4.4.2.
Doesn't really matter whether you have root access or not as long as you can boot into custom recovery. Just flash any custom rom. It'll give you root anyway.
Still if you need root just make sure you flash cf auto root then flash twrp or chenglu recovery. Flash the one for 4.3 that's the most important

You really are a boss with a heart of gold! I used the file you linked me, ran it, and sure enough it installed and gave me root access. Believe it or not, but I am learning from this! The whole thing about bootloader being different from the rom version was new to me. But I am up and running with root access now, so now I hope it shouldn't be too hard to get a stock rom thrown in. I've kinda given up on my backup. I no longer care for the files I had before, now I just want the phone up and running with wifi.. X_ X
- Edit
Or do you have any clue as to what is causing wifi to not work? I really don't mind the rom at all, I quite like it, but where I live wifi is mandatory as it's a lowered area with mountains around me, meaning LTE really isn't viable while at home.

Alright.. Time to get things done right! So just being sure I do it alright. I pick this one; http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2498687
Download the one for 4.3 bootloader, once download I place the zip folder on my SD card
- Then boot into Recovery mode, wipe phone clean, and then install the rom directly from inside of Recovery mode?
I am using the Note 4 N910G variant. I have rooted using CF Autoroot(5.0.1) and flashed CWM Recovery. I have also tried TWRP.
For some reason, I can't boot into Emotion Revolution ROM and most of the other ROMs would give me errors such as can't open file during installation.
I am seeing messages such as Recovery is not Seandroid enforcing and set warranty bit: kernel.
I have rooted and flashed ROMs before without a hitch many times. This is the first time I am coming across such problems. Forgive me for my ignorance I'll try my best to provide any extra information that is required to fix this issue.
Help would be greatly appreciated
Erm..anyone? I desperately need help fixing this!

Can you please explain what have you done just before the problem started and what is happening now when you turn on the phone?
Can you boot into recovery?

Thanks for the response by the way. Much appreciated I used CF AutoRoot and rooted my phone with Odin V3.07. Pretty much followed the steps here
http://galaxynote4root.com/galaxy-note-4-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-4/
My phone worked just fine after the root. I went on to flash a custom recovery. (TWRP) and it went without a hitch. After which, I wiped my phone and flashed a custom ROM (Without backing up which was foolish, I know..)
http://www.emo-troid.com/tw-rom-downloads.html
Now, everytime I try to boot my phone, I would just get stuck in a bootloop. I can boot into recovery and download mode just fine for now.
Did you flash (via odin) the right modem and bootloader for the rom that you want to use?
---------- Post added at 03:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:23 PM ----------
Download and extract this: N910GDTU1BOF1_Bootloader_Modem.tar.zip than flash the .tar.md5 file via odin.

Still stuck in a bootloop with a yellow text at the top left corner saying set warranty unit: kernel. I've just flashed the same ROM I have linked earlier...

Oh it does, it shows me the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Powered by Android text along with that tiny yellow text in the top left. It would constantly reboot into that screen, doesn't go beyond that.

Did you wipe data/cache/dalvik/system before flashing the ROM?
If not, please try it. If yes and still bootloop try to download and flash a different ROM like this one.
Let us know.

Alright. Apparently I can't use adb push for my CWM recovery. Any other way?
Edit: I have resolved the matter with the ABD push., had to simply replug my phone.
My phone booted up but is still in the Samsung animation. It got pass the Powered by Android galaxy Note 4 screen at least.
MY PHONE ****ING BOOTED INTO ANDROID. Thank you so much dude You have helped a stranger across the planet save 800 dollars, you're amazing
I'm happy that you fixed the problems with your note 4!
Enjoy your "reborn" phone!
Hi guys, Ive searched and searched, but couldnt find anything that worked for me, so I apologize if this has been answered before.
I attempted to root my GS6 Sprint phone, and something has gone wrong. When the phone reboots the touch screen doesnt work at all and it doesnt find any cell signals.
I flashed to S6-UniKernel_v6-0001-ODIN, the firmware on the phone at the time was 5.1.1.
I tried to flash back using G920PVPU1AOCF_G920PSPT1AOCF_G920PVPU1AOCF_HOME.tar. but I get "FAILED" every time.
So I tried to install twrp-2.8.7.1-zeroflte.img, and that seemed to install fine, but I cant reset because even in TWRP I have no use of my touch screen.
I am using the samsung cable, and it does go to the Downloading mode, but as soon as I click start it fails.
Anyone that can help me fix this I would gladly paypal the cost of a six pack. (Mods if this isnt allowed please let me know)
Okay so here is what fixed it for anyone else like me that is a noob, and does dumb stuff to their phone. You cant roll back to old firmwares. You have to flash to the latest firmware that was on the phone or newer. I found the updated firmware and its good to go.

Minor correction. You can use the version that you started with or a later version. The only problems come if you try to use an earlier version, like going from 5.1.1 back to 5.0.2. Which won't work.
Here is the latest version available, should always work: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982087002159
Odin is available here: http://www.samsungodindownload.com/

Anybody? Literally ANY idea is worth a shot at this point.
Did you use Odin to root the device? What options did you set?

Thanks for the reply Zooklok, I did use Odin, and I didnt change any settings.
So checked boxes under options are;
Auto Reboot
F. Reset Time
Thats all. I clicked "AP" to load the firmware, then clicked start.
Hello.. Assuming your phone is already rooted. Pls follow the below procedure
1. Restart and let the phone biot. Plug in your usb and insert a new for installation purpose
2. Hold and press power+up+home button to boot into recovery
3. Format and reflash the new rom
Should works like a charm

Okay so I grabbed the lastest ODIN and was able to go back to the stock recovery. I performed a wipe/factory reset, but it still wont let me use the touch screen! ARG! It didnt clear the new kernel. Could it be because Im flashing to an older firmware? I cant find 5.1.1 anywhere...

Is the a Galaxy s6 or a S6 edge+ of edge+ you've been flashing the wrong firmwares, which would explain the issues you're having
Try a different cable or usb port or redownload the firmware file as it may be corrupted.
Press thanks if I helped.
You're on the wrong forum. This is for the Edge+. You have a S6. Not Edge, not +.

Its the regular S6, not the edge. So the firmware is correct?

Guys thanks for helping me out with this, all the responses are appreciated.
UPDATE! FIXED IT!
I tried a different root method
http://trueandroid.com/g920pvpu2bof...mware-sprint-galaxy-s6-sm-g920p-how-to-guide/
This worked the first time, and restored the touchscreen functions. Thank you everyone for your help.

Ok I know one thing for sure, you are not the first to face this but it seems to be solved by flashing the tar file for your device. More info here http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-s6/help/custom-binary-blocked-frp-lock-t3152054
Good luck
