When i flash the latest NEE Stock rom i got no wifi signal it dosent want to turn on, it only hangs there and says activating but nothing happens and when i press the power off button instead of the little menu that comes up it just shuts down, i also tried to flash a custom rom and then the wifi works on there and theres no problem at all but it just messes up at the stock rom..?
Possibly a bug on the Stock Rom, Stick with a custom until incremental updates are issued to fix any Stock Issues.

Yeah but the problem is WIFI on the stock one worked before, what i did when i went to the custom one, is i backed up the EFS folder and restored it thats all i did nothing was wrong, then i went back to stock and bam no wifi. Dont know what to do, i factory wiped, cache dalvik and still its not there, never experienced this problem before.

Just got a brand new i9505 and the Wi-Fi won't turn on.
When I hit the Wi-Fi toggle it goes on for 1 sec then back off. I have tried a factory reset etc but just can't turn it on. I can't believe it's actually faulty. This is my 2nd faulty S4 out of the box. I brought a i9500 about a month ago and it keeps freezing & rebooting after a minute of use. Unfortunately I can't send that one back as it has a custom Rom & there is no way to reset the counter. I gave up on it and through it in the draw.
I decided to get a new one but went with the i9505 this time. How can I have so much bad luck. Is the S4 that unreliable?

I had the same problem with a custom rom wifi won't turn. All i did was change the kernel.
Hope this will solve your problem.

Instead of clicking the wifi toggle, why not try to go into settings and mobile networks
and turn it on there.
Good luck!

I,m using KERNEL][INT'L][AOSP/TW][6/10/2013B] KT-SGS4 - MDM - KTweaker
You can try booting into recovery and clearing the Cache and Dalvik Cache to fix the wifi. It's worked for me and other people on this forum.
i also have the same problem on my S4, basically the wifi wont turn on, i already did flashing firmware, wipe cache and dalvik cache but still the same thing
yeah same here. I've been researchin and flashin almost a month now and nobody seriously nobody could fix this issue. shame. i hate that it happened suddenly and without a warning.
Happened to me also...This is how I fixed it (accidentally of-course ):-
---First mistakenly dirty flashed stock ROM via odin v 10...That was an honest mistake
---Couldn't start my phone due to it...FC messages were appearing again and again...
---went to download mode...directly flashed CF-Auto Root and TWRP from ODIN again...
1) Wiped everything from TWRP
2) Went to download mode and flashed Stock ROM via Odin.
3) WiFi didn't turn on even in Stock ROM (came as a shock to me)
4) went to download mode...directly flashed CF-Auto Root and TWRP from ODIN again
5) Flashed "Doctors-Amputated-V3" and "CWM-Modem-I9500ZCUJOH2_2" via TWRP.
voila !! WiFi working again in the new ROM :laugh:
Hi mate,
Could you please explain what "Doctors-Amputated-V3" is? A custom ROM?
Basically, I have flashed the stock Samsung image and a previous backup, and still have issues having used PryFi. I'm trying to get my WiFi back to stock and probably flash a kernel or revert to whatever is most compatible, so as to stop my device rebooting...
Could you please recommend a kernel or modem to flash, and then the best kernel or modem to flash afterwards, in order for maximum compatibility. My S4 has always been stock rom, just with Root.
Appreciate your time Prateekgupta!
Cheers,

---Yes its a custom ROM...
---PryFi breaks phone's Wifi every time you use it...I've given up and uninstalled that app....Flash stock rom again through ODIN...
---The process I described didn't solve my problem...My wifi worked only for 20 minutes...After that it went back to grey...
---No software trick can help if your Wifi and Bluetooth both are not working...Its basically the Wifi antenna/IC that needs to be fixed...Its a hardware issue...
I have been a lurker around here for some time, but never posted. So Howdy!
I am having some troubles with my LG G2. I have loved the phone so far, and has custom TWRP recovery and rooted. Other than that the device was stock with some very minor mods (xPosed framework, etc..
I stupidly forgot that I had TWRP installed, and I chose to take the recent T Mobile OTA. The phone wouldnt boot past recovery despite a factory data reset. I flashed the stock rom (tried both D80110C and D80110G) to no avail. factory data reset again, re root, installed TWRP again, cleared cache and dalvik, and everything was fine EXCEPT the knock on feature doesnt work. Knock on works just fine, but I cannot knock to wake the device. The power button wakes the device just fine.
Anyone have any thoughts?
Also,
I was considering flashing a rom, like Gummy rom. I don't really have any hypothesis behind this, as I have already flashed the stock rom kdz twice now.

Hey, is your knock on issue resolved? also try CloudyG3 rom, its realy smooth.
Hi Everyone, i am getting random reboots and freezes on all rom and kernel combinations, sometimes it will happen 20 times a day, some times only a couple.
Anyone know what the problem may be?
Damaged bootloader or something?

OMG same here i get random reboots. though it hardly ever happens to me, nothing is affected and everything is fine, but its just weird. ive not tried the SystemServer Crash Fix in Wanam, though this may help. :good: when it comes to freezes it happens all the time to every device so no real explanation- at least not from me. though greenifying apps and de bloating and etc would help if this is consistant. - i my slef havent de bloated anything and only greenify apps. you could also try a factory reset.
I have tried wanam crash fix still the same problem, i guess its more than rom selection.
What do i need to flash to set everythinf back to factory factory, reflash bootloader the works.

I'd format everything in TWRP, system data cache internal, the lot.
Then power off the phone and it will warn you that there is no OS installed. Then boot to download mode with the button combo.. then flash the latest stock rom via odin
I use v3.09

Hey mate, I have a HK note, can't seem to find latest 4.4.2/4 firmware, so I tried N9005XXUFNF4_N9005OXAFNF4_BTU but failed on ext4 system etc... so i just flashed the latest N4 bootloader, flash twrp, a rom, same freezing issue.

That's your problem then. You flashed incompatible software on a HK Note. HK notes are slightly different to the normal note due to software. Find the latest HK software and have a nose around the HK guides and read how to fix, it's a common problem (or it was once at least) and can be fixed, so don't panic too much

Ok cool thanks, i checked samfirmware and nudda?
I have previously softbricked my note when kk first came out and had to flash the chinese Rom / sweet from combo to bring it back, are you saying to flash that chinese rom again?
Im not sure what started the trouble as i was running xnote for a while perfectly.
I found this firmware on samsung updates "N9005ZHUENH4" flashed it, seemed to be ok for the last couple days, today I rooted the phone and boom, back to freezing and restarting.
I re-flashed BL, Modem + CSC from the HK recovery rom, but it wouldn't let me flash AP :s
I just flashed g00h s5 rom, I can't get past the inital setup steps :/
What do I need to re-flash the phone to totally factory, seems there is still something screwing it all up :/
herrrooo???
Have flashed multiple times, cannot shake this problem.
Hi there,
I started this topic because I am out of options and I don't know what to do at this point.
My Phone is a XT1562 DualSim.
I recently flashed http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-play/development/rom-spetrum-mm-volte-t3462690 and I also installed "MODEM" (MPD24.107-70) from page 1, but not right away.
First I wiped everything expect "internal storage". The phone booted but it restarted during boot (which might be okay) but then it rebooted again during boot. The boot process finally finished and I got to the screen "Android is starting - Optimising app x of y." The phone rebooted even during that process and that is definitely not normal I think. So after a couple of reboots android did finally optimise all apps but the phone did still reboot withing the first 30 seconds after it was booted.
From here I did a lot of testing and doing. These are my findings:
- When I set phone to flight mode / airplane mode it does NOT reboot... Hurray!
- When I flash another ROM (Official CM 13, http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...m-cyanogenmod-13-preview-moto-x-play-t3252255) the phone runs like a charm, NO reboots whatsoever.
- - But as soon as I flash gapps and the phone is booted, I get the reboots again (usually within the first 30 seconds).
- - Again setting the phone to flight mode prevents itself from rebooting.
- - Apparently it doesn't matter what version of gapps I flash. I even tested the light version (ARM, 6.0, Pico, from http://opengapps.org/). It still reboots. I also tried gapps mini and stock.
Oh and I don't think its MODEM (mentioned above) related, because I faced these problems already before I installed / updated the MODEM. Well I thought its MODEM related, that's why I went back to MODEM stock version MPD24.107-52 but that did't help either. I should mention that I am not sure if I had MPD24.107-52 installed originally but spetrum (the rom developer) pointed me to that version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69129552
I also restored my working TWRP backup from an android I used for month and guess what, yep, reboots
brrrrr this is frustrating
I never experienced that before and frankly I am out of ideas.
Anything is welcome and appreciated
Thank you
If nothing helps reflashing the whole firmware is always an option

Thanks I haven't done that.
To be clear, you mean firmware as in stock rom / factory image?
I always go back to flashing stock rom with rsdlite whenever things went wrong and I can't solve it by flashing small fixes.

I mean full stock firmware you flash with fastboot or RSD. Roms are usually only system + kernel, so not very helpful in your case
Guys! Good news. I did go back to stock firmware and from there to official CM13. Of course I had to root and install TWRP again but it was worth it.
I lost a few days spending my time with it but I'm glad its all good now thanks to you.
Hi there
I have recently picked up my old S4 since my OPO screen broke. I was annoyed with the buggy CM 12 nightly it was running and tried installing the newest CM 13 nightly. It gave me no signal and I decided to try to revert to stock, following the guide Unroot/Unbrick, Flash official stock firmware on S4. Applying the I9505XXUAMDE_I9505OXXAMD8_NEE 4.2.2 stock rom through ODIN was a breeze but after booting i realized it had no sound.
Also placing or receiving calls makes the phone hang, even occasionally reboot, and sometimes a window with "android.phone.. app" or "process system is not answering" appears. For example also not possible to record video.
I did both factory reset and wipe cache in bootloader, but when wiping cache I get the lying down android with red exclamation mark for a few seconds then reboot.
I then tried to reflash above stock rom with repartition (pit file) and the problem remains.
I dont suppose it is a hardware problem since it started after I flashed new rom. It seems like some audio related software issue that I cant seem to get rid of - can anyone help or should I just give up and get another phone?
Thanks in advance, sorry for the long post
Try flashing a newer ROM.
The guide used is pretty old I guess and should be used only as reference.
What was the initial stock ROM your device had?

I already tried rerooting and flashing back to both CM 10.2 and newest CM 13 nightly from philz touch recovery. Both with the same problem when placing or receiving a call. But sound was working..
I don't know the exact stock rom the phone came with but seem to recall it was 4.2.2 as I have installed now.
Is there anything else that can be flashed back to original? I read several posts talking about a modem reflash for fixing audio issues but I suppose the stock rom should contain the modem info already..?
I specifically went for the oldest rom, since the guide said that once stock 4.3 is flashed you cant revert due to new bootloader. And I was hoping to revert to being able to use OTA updates since I plan on gifting the phone to an even more tech illiterate than myself.. Is that going to be a problem if I just flash for example the newest 5.0.1 stock rom?

Downgrading causes problems in the first place, that is why it is recommended to flash the same software as it originally had.
As long as your status says "official" in download mode, you should be able to still get updates. Although who knows for how long.
I also recommend using the latest TWRP recovery. PhilZ and CWM are outdated and can cause problems with newer ROMs.
