I know this question is floating around the threads in developement and Q & A but i couldn't find a solid answer, I apologize in advance for creating a new thread.
So earlier today i followed these instructions ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2338919 ) to update my modem to MK2 , Before that i was on the build that was right before MF9, I was, and currently am, running stock rooted touchwiz that came with the phone when I got it. Since i got it until today the only thing i've done to my SGS4 is root it.
and now after trying to update my modem my WiFi is broken. I try to turn it on but it never turns on, my data works fine, and other than a slow boot process everything else works fine. Can anybody please tell me how to fix my WiFi????
Thanks in advance.
Did you happen to update to a 4.3 rom when you did the modem upgrade?

I've read the hotspot tethering thread in the development forum and wanted to post a question on this. But since I just signed up on the forum, I can't b/c I don't have 10 posts yet. So I have to ask it in here.
I'm wondering if any one has found a way to get the 3rd party apps for tethering to work yet? Specifically wireless tethering. Or if anyone knows how to get the stock VZW mobile hotspot app back on the phone? That's another option that I have that might solve my problem. I accidentally deleted the app before I found that wireless tethering wasn't working on the LG G2's.
I would like to get this functioning again as I'm still grandfathered in unlimited data.
Any help would be appreciated

Well anybody with the vzw g2 can share the app and as long as you have root you can place it where it belongs with correct permissions, if on kk then in the everything stock kit Kat thread that's stickied on the q&a section there is a hotspot mod that works with kk

Are you bricked after the OTA? Here's how to unbrick it, locked or unlocked.
One other note: this is NOT an official 183 FXZ, so if this doesn't work, it won't make things worse, but you'll just have to wait for the "official" 183 FXZ.
Thanks go to stras1234 for providing a KK FXZ for those that needed it to unbrick their phone.
Another big thanks goes to SamuriHL for providing a tool to use the FXZ provided by stras1234 to make your job easier to unbrick your phone and get you running with KK.
Go here to get the FXZ and tool to help you profit in the glory that is Kit Kat on the XT926 Droid RAZR HD -> http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/45494-how-to-xt926-upgrade-to-kitkat-ota/
I have removed all my instructions as they are useless and no longer necessary with the FXZ being released.
Recommended strictly for unlocked bootloaders? Or would those of us with locked bootloaders be safe attempting as well providing we're on stock 9.30?
hi @iBolski i just want you to know that i share your post on the kk tracking post!

If you're already on stock 9.30, then it should work. I think the hang-ups for many who are manually loading it themselves via taking the OTA directly, were where if you were pushed the OTA and immediately accepted it and allowed it to go through and update it, it might have worked as long as you were unrooted on stock 9.30.
However, I chose to save the OTA off to the side (from the /cache directory) and hence, booted into the recovery manually, not realising that it installs a newer stock recovery and that's where I got hung up at. I thought the install failed, when in reality, I had to go back into the recovery and install it again. Of course, I tried using vol-down + vol-up and it wouldn't work.
If you currently have root though under 9.30, you might want to hold off until someone verifies if root can be obtained again. Because, without an unlocked boot loader, you will more than likely lose your access to root, especially if the latest "exploit" for 9.30 doesn't work under KK.
Your mileage may vary, but I don't have a locked bootloader phone to test this out on, so please, I do not accept any responsibility for what may happen if you try it, whether you have a locked or unlocked bootloader.
Thanks!
Just what I was needing to hear! I am currently rooted so I'll probably hold off. I've got a used Moto X on order though, should get it in today. After I test it out and verify that I can tolerate it and the smaller battery, then I might do some experimenting with the xt926 model I have and report back. Though, as anticipated as this update is, I'm sure someone will have already beat me to all the testing within a few hours from now lol
I'm on 9.30 with locked bootloader. I've tried your method but can't get pass signature verification. It just won't be installed on 9.30 firmware. There must be anything can be mess in updater script to avoid error signature.

I can't share the file, but if you look in the KitKat Tracking thread, you should find it there somewhere.
As an official soak tester, I'm not supposed to share the update. Technically, I'm not supposed to share ANY info, but I wanted to share this with other users who were having the same issue as I.
Thanks!
I do not believe the KK update for 9.30 has been shared anywhere.
No where that I can find. I've been scouring and following the forums waiting to find one myself.

did your phone actually ota to 9.30 or did you use a sbf/utility and flashed it to 9.30?
the problem some people are having is, they flashed to 9.30 but the correct version they should be on is 9.18 and this post http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/44920-xt926-update-1824610-update/?p=431391 explains why thats a problem.

I flashed to 9.30. When I received the OTA from the soak push, I saved the OTA off to the side and didn't apply it immediately. Then, when I attempted to apply it (after using House of Moto to fastboot it back to 9.30 stock), it rebooted after it started applying and then went back to the recovery screen, but at that point, they had changed how you get into it. It's now volume-up + power, not volume-down + volume-up.
In any case, that second step needs to happen where you go back and re-apply the OTA.
I'm thinking if I would have taken the OTA automatically right after it downloaded, it was probably automated. That, or maybe Motorola/Verizon decided to make it a game and see if people could figure it out? :silly:
Safe root for me was a no go. But kitkat is pretty nice!

Thanks for all the info. Got KK up and running
I used these instructions - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52602576&postcount=1
and I used this file - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52610188&postcount=11
All last night I tried using the leaked file someone put up from that "slow ass Chinese server" haha. Long story short, it didn't work at all.
This morning I tried again, and nothing. So I tried this file (the one I linked up top) and it worked like a charm. I installed it via recovery, phone rebooted, used vol up + power to get into new KK recovery, applied leaked file again, and boom I got KK.
As someone in another thread said, during the update it does say "Phase 1 possibly complete". WTF is that all about?
I've flashed my Razr Maxx HD to Kitkat using that slow Chinese server. I'm so happy it runs much smoother than JB. Everything seems fast and smooth. The new aosp lockscreen is much better than blur lockscreen. The aosp messaging is also nice. I can live without root for a while coz I already have a Photon Q modding to max. The only thing I dislike is the stock launcher which is not transparent anymore. So,I replace it with Nova Launcher Prime. It looks better now. Btw,I'm using GSM network and I notice signal is better than previous JB.

Glad it's all working for you now. It definitely performs better than JB ever did.

SO...My Note 3 is completely stock. I have a rooted Nexus 7 with Super User access and Clockworkmod and a few other things that's installed in my car. I'm mostly a noob with this kind of stuff until recent, but still a noob. I MUST have Foxfi working on my phone so I can tether it to the N7 unless there's another way I can tether the N7 to my Note 3. I didn't know I'd lose foxfi when installing KK OTA. Of course it updated months ago but I haven't needed to tether my phone in a long time so I was already practically done with the N7 install in my car when I found out I can't tether to it like I planned. Can anyone PLEASE HELP! I'm probably $700 or more into the N7 install in my car and can't turn back now

There will be a different tethering app available, but you won't be able to go back to 4.3 on your Note since you have upgraded your bootloader (at least not for the foreseeable) -It's simply impossible at this moment in time.
On N9005 variant, it is impossible to revert from KitKat to Jelly Bean due to bootloader restriction.
Thank you guys for your feedback. All I really care about is tethering to my tablet, so as long as I can do that I don't care about going back to jellybean.

im guessing this must be a problem many are facing. a friend of mine gave me a an S4 logic board i337m variant and it has the same issue i have tried everything from flashing new roms flashing stock frimwares tried different kernels modems nothing seems to work. i second this post to see if we can find a solution. my phone is a I337m and have flashed GOLDENEYE to get the lollipop experience a month before the official Lollipop came out for the canadien variants and i have not had any problems i was wondering if i made a backup with trwp and see if this might fix this problems and if it does i can upload my exact backup to help other. but i was wondering if a dev can help me out and see if this could be a possible solution.
In the same boat aswell
I gave my phone to someone to update it to lollipop GPE about 2 months ago.... wifi would work but my data connection would cut out the minute the screen shut off.... after contemplating going back to the guy.... i downgraded to hyperdrive kitkat rom witch gave me better connectivity but no wifi... I ve been living with that for up until now until I decided enough is enough and flashed the stock lollipop rom yesterday. still no wifi. whats even more frustrating is I cant find the file path thats being mentioned so commonly as the solution.... and yes I am rooted. Also wifi was working no problem before I updated..

Well last night I went from 4.4.4 back to 4.4.2 to see if thus would solve the wifi and blue tooth head ache. It all started working just fine and did all the way up till tonight then back to not working. I then resulted to cleaning the Wifi prongs on the phone and it worked again for few hours. Now the weird thing happens I put it back into the phone case and just from snapping it in it stop working AGAIN. I restarted the phone once taken out of the case and it was working so I think I'm at a conclusion it's a mechanical issue not software. Maybe the wifi circuit us faulty
I've had lots if Galaxy and worked on a few friends but this wifi and blue tooth crap us unbearable.
My Bluetooth is fine. My wifi broke after downgrading to kit kat so I know it works It just seems the wifi files are corrupted or missing. I'm sure it's simple I'm just not savvy enough to implement it
