I rooted my phone and then tried getting wifi tehter to work and when I rebooted after changing the services files it will only load to the Sprint yellow screen and stays there. What can I do? Please help.
I have a Sprint S4
Sounds like you did the wrong files. If you're on NAE you have to use the NAE hotspot mod. And then it depends if you are odex or deodexed. What exact hotspot files did you use and what android version are you running.

I rooted my phone with Odin I am odex. I was running 4.4
It had me install services and services.odex files.
Please help.
I would advise you to Odin NAE tar since you said you are on 4.4 which is NAE. It will bring you back to a unroofed state and should get you back up and running. This won't delete any data so you shouldn't worry about that. Since you used Odin to root, you should be able to Odin.the NAE tar.

I am sorry what does that mean? NAE?
Its the software version, it refers to the day the build was made. Ecample: N= 14th letter of the alphabet, so 2014. M is the 13th letter so 2013.

OOPS.
I flash an international ROM before realizing what I did!
The ROM was EchoeROM, 4.4. Custom recovery is TWRP.
In it's current state, I cannot boot to recovery. I CAN boot to download mode but Odin fails repeatedly.
I attempted the firmware recovery via Kies, but (as we know) it's ****. Kies asks for a S/N and no matter how correct it is (lol) it's not valid to Kies.
With ODIN I've tried 2 different kinds of 1-click flashes, one is stock w/ root, the other without root. And also the traditional ODIN3v1.85 with L720VPUAMDC_L720SPTAMDC_L720VPUAMDC_HOME that I got from stockroms.
so, help? anyone? :crying:
Had you taken the 4.3 OTA? If so, you will have to Odin the MK2 of MJA tar to get back to stock.

+1 That's what I was thinking too. I'm pretty sure on the E4GT if someone flashed the International version they needed to use a JTAG service to fix it. This is the first time I have read about this problem on this phone though so maybe not as bad???
As long as download mode boots, it's fixable.

I'll try flashing anything I can get that works lol Part of the problem is all the different things I've attempted to flash via Odin have all failed. I'll try this and report.
EDIT: Is this the best mirror for this? It's terrrrribly slow.
I was running MJA/CM10.2 but needed to update my PRL.
In the process, I decided to update to MK2/CM11.
I started by flashing Stock MK2 w/Root ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2586586) then ODINd the MK2 Firmware (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42954149) to get Sense.
PRL and Profile updates, noticed that my Wifi wasn't connecting at that point.
Flashed CM11's Snapshot (http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=jfltespr&type=snapshot), flashed Wifi Fix, and my wifi is stuck on "Turning on wifi" and won't get past that point.
Anyone know what I need to do to get wifi restored? I've been searching for solutions for about an hour and can't really find one.
You have to wipe your phone to get it to work. And possible Odin a tar. Those have been the ooy two ways i have been able to solve it.

I've tried multiple Factory Wipes to fix it, to no avail.
I flashed the stock rom and MK2 firmware to get a Sense rom so I could update PRL and Profile.

If you're on MF9 boot loader then Odin that since by you asking that question it seems you don't have Knox at all.

I flashed the NAE tar from the Mega site. It seemed to work okay, but then it just did a random reboot without any prompt from me and now it won't boot info recovery. It also won't flash ODIN tars. Well.. It flashes them but it doesn't boot up. On KIES it says that its not compatible wiht my device
You are probably trying to odin other tars that are 4.3 or 4.2.2 which are not compatible with 4.4 as you can't go backwards thanks to Knox.

No. I'm aware that yu can't go back. Nothing that I flash sticks. Nothign loads. It just gives a quick glimpse of the bootloader screen then turns off. I"ve tried flashing recoveries and CF auto root. Nothing is working.

Okay, well... I've flashed more than a thousand times between my last two phones. I've never seen this before. I've used PIT files with the Tar and it still doesn't work. I'm fairly familiar with how ODIN works, but I'm wondering if I need to do something in a special order or something. I'm wondering if I can look at the partitions manually with ADB. I've used that before with my Evo 4G, but never on this S4. I need some fresh ideas... I'm all out. I've done everything that I know to do.
I would find a stock file for the s4 sprint version. And try flashing that, do a search for unrooting and returning to stock on the sprint galaxy s4. Then reroot etc.
Go to qbking77.com and you'll find your solution there. Good Luck.
The problem is you already upgraded to NAE which means none of the current stock tar files will work since there isn't an NAE stock tar file yet. You could try to odin the philz or twrp recovery and then install one of the NAE roms in the development section. Hopefully, the NAE stock tar will be available soon which would definitely fix your problem.
Hello everyone,
I unfortunately installed the OTA US Sprint 4.4.2 update over the weekend, not realizing that it would essentially making it impossible for me to use my most frequented app, Backcountry Navigator (GPS mapping software), due to 4.4.2 not allowing apps to write or read data on a secondary external sd card. The reason being is that with this app, you typically download and store map files, which I previously had around 25 GB saved on my external card. Now with 4.4.2. it's requiring me to use the internal storage. So, this makes the phone useless for my needs. Is there anyway I can revert to 4.2.2 or install a custom rom based on 4.2.2 so that I can regain the app permission of Write_External_Storage?
Sure....just flash Stockist v6...it's mk2.....are you rooted?

No, phone isn't rooted yet. I'm actually quite new to learning about custom roms - I guess it's time to learn! Thanks for the reply.

hello. I had upgraded to 4.4 via ota nae. I could revert to 4.3 by Stockist mk2 v6. the problem is that now I have 4.3 but the baseband version appears as nae version of the software and also as nae. any ideas? can now flash it with the stock rom mk2?
Custom roms do not come with modems (baseband) you have to flash that separately. Unknownforce has a thread where all the modems are located.

Well once you took that NAE OTA your phone is now stuck there. You can only root it , install custom recovery, and then flash an mk2 based ROM like I think you already have.
But you cannot get your phone back to how it was prior to that update, stock mk2 with no root no custom recovery... Follow me?

You need to perform a factory reset to fix that
