Telus i337m GS4 Wifi+3G Problem - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Here is the whole story. I rooted. I get a custom recovery and flash cyanogenmod. Everything worked fine but it was pretty slow and I like the touchwiz interface so I flash GoldenEye rom. Wifi works flawlessly but 3g doesn't work at all. So I try to flash the 4.4.2 modem and flash official telus 4.4.2 kitkat. Wifi slider stuck on off and 3g not working. 4.2 Touchwiz works fine. 4.3 - 4.4.2 wifi and 3g not working. I did try flashing stuff with odin but still not working. How can I fix this problem once and for all?

OH please someone know the solution for this,
my story is near identical everything worked great in my Google edition Rom with older modem, I decided to update back to stock 4.4.2, and I can't get any mobile data. Now at first I couldn't get wifi either, I believe I manually flashed the NC1 modem, did a full wipeafter the install of stock, and it gave me back wifi. Alas still no mobile data, NONE.
I have tried re flashing the modem, I have tried re rooting... I am not sure if the re-rooting worked maybe that is our problem and then we need to flash the modem again, but I really don't know and I have been trying to fix this for about 8 hours now
My wallet will be 800 dollars lighter come Monday if I can't fix this, no smartphone is unfortunately no option for me.
Edit: So I downloaded superSU and rootchecker, all installed and verified fine, but superSU wanted to disable Knox.. so I let it, maybe that stopped a proper modem install?? (although I dont' see how I updated to stock 4.4.2 via kies)

Okay, I fixed mine the last problems were actually silly (apn setting was wrong isp.telus.com instead of sp.telus.com)
anyway
First I loaded up the original 4.2.2 firmware using odin 3.09 that gave me wifi back, I then updated to the newest software using kies 2.0 then I search in vain not realizing everything was working I just needed to enter my apn settings.
then I re-reooted, and installed the Maple Leaf rom because it is near stock with a few great additions!
Now everything works great, and the new modem easily gives me twice the bars in LTE as the old one did.

I am so stupid. Thank you so much. All I did was reset my apn settings and it was fixed.

[Q] Problems with Google Edition ROM form Jamal - V4.0

Hello, i'm writing here since, having less than 10 posts, i can't post in the original thread by Jamal2367
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2544474
I live in Italy, operator H3G, 9505, baseband I9505XXUEMK9
I tested all previous release from Jamal (and use his 4.3 v2 daily), 4.0 works fine, no reboots, no FC
I have some problems, network related:
- LTE doesn't work, icon doesn't show up
- can't search mobile networks, only get a long wait then no results
- CAN autoregister, internet and calls works fine
- the dropdown notification window got stuck mid-screen, couldn't find a way to remove it, i rebooted
- roaming data comes default on (not good imo)
- APN: i have an additional new APN, 3 IT, never had that. Switching between 3 and 3 IT doesn't make LTE work
Is anyone experiencing these problems?

I was on a lower baseband and did an upgrade to I9505XXUEMK9 using this thread -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192025
I only upgraded the modem.bin using Odin and thus did not have the knox bootloader and also did not need to flash the LTE modems.
Next I flashed Jamal's KK 4.4 GE S4 v4.0 rom (full wipe data, cache and devlik) that already have faux123's kernel bundled in it, and flashed updated superSU 1.8 and I did not have any problems with any of your problems mentioned above.
I suggest going to http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/ to check if you are using the correct firmware.
I"m on modem mj8 and v2 4.4 of jamal. everything is stable and fast.
Try to do a full wipe: system,data,cache.dalvik. than flash the rom.
First flash the modem via odin 3.04.
phone works perfectly on 4.3
i always clear cache before and after flashing roms, sometimes i even format /system
I tried 4.4 AOSP and LTE works just fine, tried another GE and no LTE again, so it must be something related to GE
i'm gonna flash MKE to see if it makes any difference
??
i flashed I9505XXUEMKE but in info i still see MK9

If you are having issues with the baseband not changing after flashing, please do the 'manual', more troublesome way
1) When in Odin, remember to select Phone, not PDA and UNTICK AutoReboot
2) Flash modem
3) Once done, reboot once again into Download Mode
4) Flash Modem once more like in Step 1-2
5) Once done,unplug then reboot device manually.
P.S. For me, I rebooted my device manually in Download Mode by lifting the battery after Odin has completed flashing

Galaxy S4 Wifi Won't Turn On

Galaxy S4 - i337m - Android 4.3
Okay, so here's my problem.
Today in the morning after I woke up, I checked my phone and it said it had downloaded a software update. It was just a complimentary update for 4.3, it said bug fixing, etc. in details. I clicked accept and the installation started.
After this, all crap started to happen.
The Wi-Fi NEVER worked again, everytime I clicked the Wi-Fi widget in the notification bar, it turned green and immediately switched back to gray. It also didn't work when trying to turn Wi-FI on from the settings menu.
I tried everything, the battery pulling, the thing of disabling the Wi-Fi energy save, and nothing worked. It all pointed to a factory reset.
So I did all my backups (My S4 was rooted), and finally made the factory reset.
After this finished, I did all the starting configuration of the S4 (like when it was brand-new). Then, I tried to turn on Wi-Fi.
Surprise, surprise. DIDN'T WORK.
I'm so desperate right now, I don't know what to do.
I'm currently downloading 4.4.2 to flash it via Odin, and see if this works.
Any help, please?
Flashing the 4.4.2 ROM you're downloading now should definitely fix the problem. I know that in some instances, us I9505 owners have to flash a stock ROM twice through Odin before the modem will function. It sounds like your software update broke the modem in this fashion, which is why the ROM install you're planning should fix it. Be aware however that installing KitKat will give you Knox if you don't already have it.

[Q] No wifi after stock rom install and factory reset Rogerss

I was rooted on 4.2.2 with Rogers but wanted to update to 4.4.2 and didnt really use the root anyway. So i installed back the stock rom and resetted to factory. But now wifi wont turn on at all. I ran the softaware update and im still on 4.2.2 and it says I have the latest version available but i know rogers released 4.4.2 in march 2014...
Anyway, which way should i go to get everything working again?
Thanks
I don't know if anyone has explained why this happens, but sometimes the modem firmware doesn't completely "take", leaving parts not working correctly. Reflashing the modem usually corrects this. In your case, where you want to upgrade to the latest firmware, you should download it from sammobile.com and flash it through Odin. Not only will you not have to worry about a software update, but installing the updated ROM through Odin should correct your WiFi issue as a new modem will be flashed with the firmware.
downloading now, i'll report back
fixed thanks a lot

[Q] Lost wi-fi when going to 4.4.4 from rooted 4.42- can't get it back

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?

Same tablet. Have been running this rom rooted for a few weeks now. Very stable and everything working. My 5ghz wireless never worked using the UK 7.0 roms, but it works fine with the XAR one.

How have you rooted this? I could not find root info for 7.0
cf-autoroot-> https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ SM-T713 -> https://download.chainfire.eu/1105/...uto-Root-gts28vewifi-gts28vewifixx-smt713.zip
SM-713 is build on QCO rom but also works fine with QD3 - mine is using the Cellular South QD3. Both are Android 7.0
Install using Odin and reboot. It may take a couple download/reboot tries due to some strange locking function on the Tab S2 but eventually it does install.
Whats the difference between the stock rom and the cellular south one?

I tried this twice, and both times when Odin rebooted the system it wouldn't let it reboot, and said "integrity verification has failed" and it wanted me to do a full factory reset, with a little button being the only thing I could press. So twice, I had to do a full factory reset.
Any ideas on how I can get past this part? I am using the latest version of Odin and the exact same copy of Nougat you are using. I have a SM-T713 that is the Nook version if that matters. I upgraded to Nougat because I wanted to be able to change the resolution for games like my S7 can with Nougat, but there is no option for it on the Tab S2, so I was trying to root to get access to change the resolution...
Thanks for any and all help.
1st thing, Titanium Backup is invaluable in this case because those wipes will delete your apps & data.
Before you started any of this did you go into the developer options and make sure OEM Unlock was turned on? You kinda need to make sure that is done.
Not sure if the Nook version makes a difference (mine is not) but the OEM unlock should do it for you. I always have to do the wipe thing after a new stock rom upload. Just a necessary evil I guess. I always let it fully boot and get to the launcher screen (I skip thru the setup stuff and use Titanium to restore things) before retrying the autoroot upload. For me it always takes after that first wipe (even repeated the whole process using the XAC -Canada- image today).
