Losing signal after flashing kitkat rom - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone else experiencing this problem? I was running stock 4.2.2 with no problems and now I'm having erratic signal problems. I've tried 3 different roms and even got roms and they are all the same. Never had this problem on stock. Can I just flash a lower to rectify my problem or is this a kit at related issue?

The most normal is that u have wrong baseband. Dial *#1234# and attach it here.
* SOLUTION: Flash 2 times same Kit Kat firmware :highfive:

Sorry but do you mean I have to flash the same rom again? No need for full wipe or anything?
AP:I9505XXUGNE5
CP: i9505ZHUDMI1

Do you have TWRP recovery? If not flash that recovery and then flash the rom you want after a full wipe.
I dont know why but some roms give no signal when flashed with other recovery.

I see your CP is i9505ZHUDMI1. You should flash this ONE for avoid problems.
* COUNCIL: Always dial *#1234# when u finish of flash NEW firmware for see if all is ok. In this case have to appears:
PDA: I9505ZHUFNB3
CSC: I9505ZZHFNB3
MODEM: I9505ZHUFNB3

That's the stock Rom for the hk s4 variant. Is there anyway I can continue to use custom roms while getting back my signal strength?

Yeah, you need a custom recovery (TWRP/Philz Touch) for install customs roms. This will active KNOX (KNOX 0x1) and will void ur warranty. Only for your info :highfive:

I'm on a custom rom now with a custom recovery installed.
I'm sorry but I am confused. Are you trying to say that after flashing a Rom I need to flash a radio that's for hk?
The file you told me to download is 1.5gb I'm assuming it's a full Rom. Is there any way I can continue to use echo Rom while changing pda only?

You should tell me before that u had a custom rom installed. Well, things change now.
The problem maybe is the custom rom u have installed. Install one older version or simply ask in correct thread of the custom rom.

Lol I've tried echo Rom, omega Rom and Ge roms and they all have signal issues.

GT-I9505 Post custom rom problems. Want stock back!!

So here i am with a brand new GS4 GT-I9505 and i thought it would be clever to do what i did with my GS2 and root and flash a custom rom to it (Cyanogenmod 10.1 through TWRP)
Clever me forgot to back it up !!!NOOB!!! (but thats beside the point)
Now im stuck with this rom with wifi doesnt work or mobile data and a host of other problems (Such as every time i turn the device off i have to reset the time and date!)
I have looked on the net for weeks and cannot find a way to revert back to the original stock version of my phone as i wish to have this back with all of its features. Main problem being is that every video or text help that i find is for other versions of the phone. Really frustrating as i do not want to destroy/brick the phone.
Would appreciate if anyone could help me in restoring my phone to its original state/factory state. Am pulling my hair out over this. Im not new to this however step by step would be also appreciated
Details of the device:
Device - GT-I9505 (Orange/EE) Android 4.2.2
Cyanogenmod -10.1-20130509-UNOFFICAL-i9505
Custom Recovery - TWRP

Yes this will work no plm even if u have diffrnt baseband
for example u can flash any latest firmware which is available for any region without any issues "Not China" there some language is diffrnt if I m not wrng
But make sure its only for the variant u have like i9505 etc
Edit I always suggest take a back up of EFS of your device for safety

Don't worry u take a good sleep this thing will work :good:
Installing a pre rooted ROM won't give you stock/factory state.
If you really want your Official EE ROM go to Sammobile and download it.
Download triangle away to reset flash counter and as soon as its reset boot to download mode and flash Official stock EE ROM. No root.

[Q] fix wifi etc after flashing 9005 ROM on N900?

Ok, so previously with my S4, if we flashed a I9505 ROM onto a I337or I337M S4, all we had to do was flash our device models custom or stock kernel and the wifi and everything that was borked was then fixed. This doesn't seem to be the case here.
And now I can't figure out for the life of me how to get back wifi after flashing a 9005 ROM on my N900!
I'm sure it's something super simple, and I;ve searched for the solution, but clearly I'm looking in the wrong place.
Any assistance would be met with a "Thanks" and some karma points
Did you flash a custom firmware or a stock one?

Ok well that blows out what I thought you'd done it.
Have you tried wiping after flashing the correct ROM? The "incorrect ROM" didn't include any modern files didn't (not that I'm sure CWM will flash them on this phone however)
Strange question, but is your camera still working? Recording etc... also, in device settings, does it list the correct IMEI number?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
Yup, camera works with stock kernel that the rom came with, imei is fine.
Just can't figure out which files to flash to get wifi and other radios working

Did you try a factory reset? After backing up of course...
Might work....

You can start by going to http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/ to check if you are using the correct firmware.
Once you got that, head to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192025 and find the firmware and flash it via Odin. And make sure to read the instructions, whether you need to flash both GSM and LTE modems.
yaa. but i'm from bangladesh and my s4 is importe from HK. now is there any modem driver for my carrier 'teletalk' ?
BTW what if i flash my I9505 with a 9500 modem, cause that version has TML, which is code for bangladesh.
If you updated to 4.3 via an OTA or Kies or flashed a stock odin rom you'll have a knox boot loader. Once you have a knox boot loader you can not downgrade to any lower version. You can flash modems though there is a thread in the S4 General section with various modems have a look in there.

Can I install CM on non-KNOX bootloader?

Currently I'm on a Pre-rooted stock ROM and would really like to update as stock OTA is not working.
Info:
Model : GT-I9505
Android : 4.2.2
Baseband : I9505XXUBMGA
Kernel : 3.4.0-1081224
Build number : JDQ39.I9505XXUBMGA
So, I don't have the newer bootloader with KNOX yet.
Further, I already installed CWM 6.0.4.4 recovery
My questions:
Can I simply install CM10.2.1 or CM 11.2 through CWM?
Or do I have to update the bootloader first or does it include in CM?
Is there a catch in updating my phone concerning KNOX and chance of bricking?
I'm I stuck on CM or can I always revert to my backup of rooted stock 4.2.2?
Thanx in advance for any help.
I searched, but couldn't find correct answers...
Yes you can just install cm but if you try to install newer touchwiz roms then you need to change your modem. And wrong section....

So KNOX is all about stock Samsung ROMs?
And I don't need an updated bootloader for all other ROMs like CM and OMEGA and can switch between them without issues?
yes.

Knox is basically a counter to counter rooters. You should be able to flash any ROM like normal but there may be some changed needed to be done for the modem. I'm sure there are multiple threads about the i9505 modems...

yes i tried latest kitkat baseband but it didnt work
You can see the rom/kernel name in about settings but so far as i know you probably have to reflash an kernel/rom to fix the sensors or you need to locate the sensor files from the g2 rom you're using and make an flashable zip from it.
same problem,how can i fix it,please help me
Can you guys to do a clean flash and flash KK modem first and then the rom?
Have you tried backing up your current rom, restoring stock rom backup, and restoring the custom rom again? Works for me every time.
