No WiFi on this ROM (Google Edition 4.2.2)

So I recently got this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2428254. I got the DEODEX version, and when I try to turn wifi on, it just switches back to off. I tried clicking the WiFi fix links in the thread, but they wouldn't work. What do I do? I have a SGH-I337, by the way.

What can you do?
For one thing you can flash a custom rom which is a finished product.
But if you want to fool around with Google Edition roms you can try this little trick,
reboot the phone and toggle the wifi on and off 3 or 4 times waiting about 10 seconds
between toggling. For some people this little trick temporarily fixed the wifi issue.

Would you happen to know of any Google Edition ROMS that are trustworthy for the GS4 that are compatible with Safestrap?

I am assuming that you have never done an OTA and updated to the official
MF3 4.3 firmware yet, if you have done an OTA MF3 update then ignore this post.
There are no google edition 4.3 roms which are safestrap compatible as of yet.
So far only the Jellybean Touchwiz 4.2.2 custom roms are compatible with it.
The only reason that your phone is working with the google edition rom
is because it's based on version 4.2.2 rom.
None of the developers are going to create a full featured custom google
edition 4.2.2 rom since the official 4.3 firmware is available.
However if you want to try a full featured Touchwiz Jellybean custom rom
which I would highly suggest.
This custom rom is based on the Samsung Galaxy S4 Touchwiz Jellybean 4.2.2 firmware.
It's called "Darthstalker v9" and it's really excellent.

Give it a try, good luck! .

MF3 4.3 firmware? I thought MF3 was 4.2.2, and 4.3 is MFJ or something like that. But I am on MF3, 4.2.2, I have Safestrap, and I can install ROM's. So should I still check out your suggestion?

Read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2428254
It will explain it all to you in great detail, the thread also has links where you can
go directly to the custom rom thread and download "Darthstalker v9" rom & others.
Currently there are only three full featured custom roms which are fully compatible with MF3.
Darthstalker v9 is one of them and it was very recently updated.
You will see the links to them on the very first post.
Good luck!
Remember it takes less time to click the "THANKS" button than it takes to type "thank you"

OK, so now I'm not getting WiFi on the rom you recommended, which is amazing by the way.
Edit: Fixed it, forgot to flash kernel modules, was looking at the wrong thread. :/

Hi, you said you forgot to flash the kernel modules to get wifi working with MF3, but when you did, wifi was working correctly. I cant FOR THE LIFE of me figure out how to get my wifi working. I flashed the "jflteatt-MF3-modules.zip" file from Hashcode's safestrap forum, but cannot get it to work. Ive also wiped everything and tried flashing the rom and module again, but no luck. Do you have links or can you tell me which kernel I should be flashing please? I really love Darthstalker and this is the only thing holding me back..
EDIT: Nevermind... Thank you anyway.. I re-downloaded the module and re-did the whole flashing process. Its working now.. Weird. Ive done the same thing atleast 5 times.. Oh Well.. Im happy now! :victory:

I didn't see anyone mention it so i'll tell you - this is a simple fix.
If you are running MF3 and are using this GPE Rom 4.2.2 via SafeStrap, you need to simply flash the kernel for MF3 AFTER you've flashed the GPE Rom.
You can A.) Wipe your current Rom-Slot, flash the ROM itself then immediately flash the kernel provided at (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448925) ---> Just above "Manually remove SafeStrap"
Or you can B.) Just flash the kernel zip package over the same Rom-Slot you have the Google Play Edition Rom 4.2.2 on.

[Q] New 4.4 bootloader questions!

Well, i was so stupid to flash the new stock 4.4 TW rom just to try it but after reading some topics it seems i am stuck on tw for now and can not go back to cm11.
How far are the developers on getting an AOSP running on the new bootloader? Or has anyone managed to go back to the 4.3 bootloader?
or is it possible to use the stock 4.4.2 kernel on cm11 and solve this problem that way for now?

[Q] Galaxy S4 i9500 Downgrade

is there a way to downgrade Android 4.4.2 to Android 4.3 on the i9500 i need this urgently. (Stock Official Samsung Touchwiz)

Have you tried downloading the 4.3 ROM for your phone's region from www.sammobile.com/firmware and flashing it with Odin? If you are not sure how to do that, you should be able to find lots of info in the forum explaining how.
BTW, questions should be posted in the Q&A forum.
Best wishes

If you flash the 4.4.2 stock rom then there's no way you can downgrade your phone .

You can still downgrade your phone , by using a Custom rom. But if you flash a stock 4.4.2 STOCK then you can no longer downgrade yoUR phone into 4.3 STOCK rom via odin.

[help] none of the sensors work in cm11

Hi guys, so I got a very big problem with my phone that never happened before to me on any phone.
I just installed CM11 and noticed that it can't auto-rotate...after I found that rotation is enabled but still it can't auto rotate I downloaded CPU-Z and there I saw in the sensor section that all my sensors are off...all of them...so yeah I tought it is broken but I restored my back-up before CM11 and all of them worked as good as they need to...and then I came back to CM11...same problem...sensors off...
I am the only one here or it happened to you too guys?
And if so, has anyone any idea how to solve it? Thanks in advance.
I attached the screenshot from CPU-Z if it helps...

By any chance, did you upgrade to kitkat before installing CM11?

I had Stock LG 4.4.2 before upgrading

Yes I had the stock LG 4.4.2 rom, rooted and with TWRP installed (I updated my phone manually to not lose root and TWRP).
Everything worked good no problem at all, but when I installed CM11 all the sensors were gone and there was no evident solution, apearantly no one ever had this before...also I tried with ParanoidAndroid...same thing...I don't know what happened...now I am glad I made a backup for the LG stock rom...
Do you have any idea?
Thanks a lot!

Do I have to downgrade to 4.2.2 and try again?

So if I had 4.4.2 before instalation and probalby that caoused the problem, do you recommend me to downgrade to stock LG 4.2.2 and install CM11 from there?

You could go that route or just flash a modded 4.4.2 modem based on what model G2 you own.

You may find by search in general section .
Or from the usual stock sources. Samsung-updates or sammobile .Or via google search.
But your Kies backup should have it from when you backed up your original rom.

You are in a Lollipop bootloader, you cannot go back to JB (stock) anymore
You need to root and flash a custom ROM based on JB

Seriously, at this day and age you're better off just sticking with Lollipop.
I know I'm spoon feeding, but I figured what the heck. Here:
Jellybean based ROM
Kit Kat based ROM
I have not tested these ROMs nor am I responsible for what you do with your phone.
Please please PLEASE, DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH
Just whip out the old google, it doesn't take that long.
