Wifi not working

Today I was messing with my phone and decide to download 4.3. I had forgotten that I rooted my phone a few days back so I ended up doing the OTA update without taking root off. Now my WiFi isn't working, I restarted my phone and that did fix it. I like to know if there is a fix for this?

Yes, the same thing happened to me. Flash the MJA Kernel and modem flashable in ODIN (md5 6625d683a1f9908281bd785a8e3fac56) from here and it will work. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2506562 Let me know if you have any question....

I did exactly the same (patience grasshopper). I'm going to give it a shot also.

One question, do I have to flash Phil'z Recovery before I do this?
I have Clockwork currently installed, should I replace it or can I have both installed?
Thanks

Install a tw 4.3 kernel like kt kernel in original development
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app

Okay. Tried to flash the MJA Modem and Kernel through Odin and was getting the bad binary error. Just installed the KT Kernel for 4.3 TW and I'm still getting a similar issue. WiFi is just stuck on turning on but never fully gets there.. Any ideas??? Another kernel perhaps?

I found the wifi fix but I'm not seeing the kt kernel. I did a search and seeing a lot of kt kernel hits. Is there one specifically that I should use?

No Sound after Knox? 4.3 / 4.4.2

Hello all,
So this is my first time needing serious help.
Almost 24 hours ago I wanted to flash a new ROM on my i9505 just because it was time for an update.
I downloaded the 4.2.2 leak in order to install the Echoe ROM according to THIS and THIS instructions. It all went fine but with no sound and wifi.
I tried flashing different kernels and modems but nothing helped, wifi was working sometimes when I installed other 4.4.2 custom roms.
Basically I'm not new to flashing custom roms but this time I have a feeling something bad happened.
I think since I installed the 4.2.2 leak I got no sound.
Currently I'm on the Echoe 4.3 "Final Bean", my Modem is I9505XXUFNA1 - and still no sound.
I'm totally lost now right now because I spent hours of looking for a fix or working ROM but with no success.
Hope someone can help me q_q

Flashing that file can either Fix your Sound/wifi and etc if you have newbootloader,and Flashing a Wrong LTE aka Wifi fix/NON-HLOS will break your sound if you have an oldbootloader.
Old bootloader = you can't flash any newer LTE modem than UBMH1.
New bootloader = you can flash all the new LTE modems

Thanks for your quick response. The reason im asking is because im rooting my S4 tonight (not my first time rooting) that is running 4.3 MK2 and im still a bit worried im missing information as far as what can and cant be flashed after rooting. Ive read up on KNOX and have decided im not going to stress over triggering it but I dont want to end up with any other issues like the OP mentioned.
My plan is to root w/ CF Auto Root, Flash TWRP via ODIN, and then flash Beanstalk 4.4.2 via TWRP (efs and nandroid backup made somewhere within these steps).
If done correctly, can the above process cause any issues?
How would I downgrade to a 4.2.2 rom if I wanted to?
Thanks a lot for your help

Your plan should work fine mate but you can no longer downgrade into 4.2.2 after flashing a stock 4.3 rom. and if you flash 4.4.2 stock Kitkat in a future you can no longer downgrade to stock 4.3 . but you can definitely flash a custom 4.3 rom, as well as AOSP and CM11 Roms
Edited. Fixed

problem with WIFI and 3G SAMSUNG GALAXY S4 I9505

Hi ,
I have this problem persisting since 6 months and plus , I only have the EDGE ( E ) when trying to use my phone for internet and also the WIFI it keeps forgetting the access point.
After doing a research I guess the problem is on the EFS folder.
I don't have a backup of it since it's corrupted , I need help to get things work again on my phone any tutorial or an EFS working folder?
Thanks

Any Help?

Yes I just flashed the latest stock rom of Lollipop.
I flashed it one more time with Odin with pit file and Nand Erase checked and the wifi's problem is solved , now I have to fix the 3G problem which is always stock on EDGE.

No IMEI, Baseband,and Signal after Downgrading to Stock KK

So I had DarkLord N5 on my N9005 before, which was awesome, but it had performance issues (especially when gaming). Then i downgraded to Stock KitKat using Odin and after boot up It showed No Signal, and everything was freezing and force closing. I somehow went to settings and found that i also have issues with IMEI and Baseband version, it was all unknown. The worst part is i did not backup my EFS. Any help guys please :crying:
I also have no audio playback

Im no pro here, but as i found in my research it is hard to downgrade from lolipop to kitkat as in 5.0 new architecture has been presented which they called art. I think. So it gives lots of incompatibilities. I tried the same as you but i ended up going stock lolipop for a while.
Yesterday i flashed Ressurrection remix 6.0.1 Marshmallow based off Slim roms and CM and i admit this is so far best rom i have tested. (Unless you need all fancy spen features)
I'd try to stick to anything that is 5.1 or above since great battery life.
Sorry for not much info, but i couldn't get past your post unanswered.

I had many experiences with downgrading from new version to old version with my S3 and my Note, but never had this issue. Something is causing this...

founded a old backup of CM11.. Flashed CWM and restored to CM. Works flawlessly, but still no sound and those stuff

So i had problems with my either s2 or note 4.
But afaik if u have updated your bootloader there may be no way to get back. And lack of IMEI on reverted KitKat isn't anything new. I bet going simply to anything art. Based will do.
People here are arguing on same issues as yours. Just don't listen to these "flash with odin" guys.. This doesn't work. Even if u flash the stock one.

You could try this. It worked for me.

Nope, I downloaded the KitKat firmware from Sammobile, and I'm downloading the Lollipop one now.

I tried it, but still no use :c

I would not try any other ROMs before trying to flash the latest stock rom from sammobile.com. Hopefully, this will resolve the baseband and imei issue. Sometimes, the missing or wrong imei is caused by a mismatch between the bootloader and modem firmware.

I did downgrading from 5.0 (CM12) to Stock 4.4 KitKat in my S3, but never had issues like this.

Downgrading from a cm rom to a stock rom via Odin can be fine because installing a cm rom does NOT alter the phone's bootloader or modem. Trying to downgrade from stock 4.4.2 to stock 4.3 with Odin on an s3 cannot be done.

Oh, never knew about this, thanks for the info

Sorry, I meant to say that installing a cm rom DOES NOT change the bootloader or modem. When you flash back to stock via Odin, you are simply writing over the existing modem and bootloader with the same bootloader and modem if you are flashing the same stock rom that was on the phone before installing cm.

I flashed between KitKat and LP official just fine.

How if you flash stock 5.0.1 (based on your country) by using odin. You can search how to update it.

but not working

It could be a hardware failure. I have an s4 i337 and i337m sitting in my desk with defective wifi and Bluetooth modules. Both phones are either stuck at turning on wifi or the start to turn on wifi and turn themselves off after a few seconds.
