Hi im wondering if anyone else is having this issue. I just flashed Omega rom 7.0 with no problems but then i flashed the new bootloader using Odin and it was successful too but for some reason when i check the bootloader version its still the old one.
I figured it out. Make sure to power down completely first and then boot into download mode and then flash thru Odin that way.

What is all about that new bootlader? Do I need to flash it? What has changed?
Thank you!
If you want to use the stock kernels you have to flash the new bootloader. Things like screen casting to a smart TV can only be done with stock kernels.

Hey guys, ever since I've installed Android 4.3, stock and custom, I'm not getting any sound.
Not through my earphones or through my speaker.
I've re flashed this phone like six times in two days because it wouldn't boot at all after first flashing 4.3.
Any help is much appreciated.

The only way to fix this as far as I know is to flash the complete official firmware package via Odin. Then you can proceed to install a custom 4.3 ROM but you may have issues if you use a pre-KNOX firmware.

That's what I did. I flashed stock 4.2.2 and then installed CarHDROM 7.1

You may need to flash stock 4.3 full firmware (sadly you will get the KNOX bootloader) to resolve this.

Yep. This exactly what happened to me. Lost sound and wifi. Had to flash latest leaked version 4.3 Via odin, then root it via odin, install titanium backup , delete all that knox ****, install custom recovery, then you can really start playing with your phone.. eg.. custom roms, kernels etc.. hope this helps
Similar Problem!
Hi, I'm having similar problems I have no sound at all coming from the device, I've read most threads that say no sound on the heading for I9505 and for many people flashing I9505XXUDMH8_I9505OXXDMHA_I9505XXUDMH8_HOME.tar resolved the problem but not in my case.
Last night I tried flashing I9505XXUEMI8_I9505OXAEMI8_I9505XXUEMI8 and after I changed the kernel I got some sound when turning the volume up and down but the phone was running very slow.
Today I tried flashing Omega rom v15 flashing the right modem for the new bootloader before flashing the zip and no sound, I tried changing the kernel, still nothing.
So now I'm in build number XXUEMJ9 and baseband MJ5.
I've also tried flashing stock with a pit file but didn't make a difference!
Thanks!
I've fixed the problem by flashing 4.2.2 stock and have been using it since.
Just rooted my phone. All other ROMs just don't work

Hello, I have a bell sm-n900w8 note 3 with android 3.4. Here are some screenshots of the setiings: http://imgur.com/a/lfjal. I started out by rooting it and installing TWRP. My phone ran great. I then wanted to try a new rom so about a week ago I flashed the sm-9005 xnote rom. It worked great. The next day I wanted to use 4.4 kitkat so I flashed the bobcat rom, this did not boot though becasue I had not upgraded my phone to kitkat. I then paniked and installed the xnote rom again. Now my phone runs very hot and has terrible battery life becasuse of this mm-qcamera-daemon and the camera doesn't work. I tried unrooting it using this guide: http://www.androidrootz.com/2013/10/how-to-unrootunbrick-galaxy-note-3.html. This did not work and odin kept saying failed. Then I paniked again and went into SU and hit unroot. Now I have a phone that just barely works and runs out of battery very fast.
Can someone help me unroot and reset my phone to what it was like when I first got it?
If you need any more information about what I did, please feel free to ask me, in this case you are the experts.
You have to flash the stock firmware using Odin. You can download it from sammobile.com.

It worked!
How do I fix the thing were I can't upgrade the phone because it is modified?
You can upgrade it but you have to use Odin to flash the 4.4.2 firmware. Again you can download it from sammobile.

I am looking for a custom KitKat rom 4.4.2. All the ones I'm finding will not flash successfully. The one I did find was messing up my phone modem (radio) and it was causing dropped calls and EDGE connection problems so I flashed it back to stock. I want a new custom rom without this issue that is rooted with Wifi/tethering.
I have the Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-I337 model with AT&T.
I appreciate any help it I can get with this!

If you take the time to read like most of us have. You will find out that you can't flash custom rooms if you are on kit kat until devs find exploit, which is going to be very hard.

From what he says you could tell he is either on mk2, nb1 or NC1 which the bootloader is lock down and as most of us know we can only flash Tw roms.

I don't get that from his post. He wants to flash a kk custom rom and he seems to be able to flash roms which tells me he has a custom recovery.
Op, can you tell us what firmware version you're on?

I didn't either, want to be sure our recommendations are correct--:good:
I have spent some weeks with a new NC1 GS4 bootloader. Are developers working on a way to fix the issue with Knox preventing WiFi driver from loading?
I see patches for 4.3 floating around but not 4.4.
This is a real issue. Just wanted to know if developers are aware of it and if anyone is working on a patch we can flash via Odin?
I have another gs4 with mdj boot loader and I have no issues at all with WiFi not loading on boot.

What exactly are you having issues with? If you mean getting Wi-Fi on a 4.4.2 ROM with the NC1 bootloader, all you need to do is flash the kernel modules for whatever kernel you're on in Safestrap. Other than that I don't know what other issue you'd have.

It looks like safe strap on works on at&t and Verizon. Do you experience any WiFi issues on you setup with safe strap?

No, I haven't had any issues unless it was broken in the ROM itself. For you I'd recommend using ODIN to flash NB1 first though, and hopefully that would fix your problem. Then you can OTA back to NC1 or downgrade to MK2 for root.
I have a Canadian unlocked boot loader fw are different for me. Unfortunately I can only downgrade to NC1 ATM which comes with 4.4.2. I did try upgrading to NE1 but issue was still there once I rooted and custom so I decided to downgrade back to NE1.

So I found solution to my problem. If you have a new boot loader 4.4.2 and you want a stable custom ROM with WiFi, then a custom touch wiz ROM is what you need to install preferably a custom ROM based off of the same fw as installed bootloader. I guess the issue is Asop and GE ROMs were never designed to work with a unlocked Knox bootloader ? I find that this these pure android roms have wifi issue not working intermittently.
Buyer beware: intermittent WiFi issue on Knox boot loader is solved by flashing a custom touch wiz ROM based on boot loader fw.
If your thinking about buying a new gs4 with knox boot oader be sure that your okay with living with touch wiz custom ROMs but if you don't care about working WiFi then your still free to flash pure android.
Hopefully this changes in the future

Hello guys,
I was using the a custom rom and everything was working fine.
However, I got back to stock installing by TWRP, (this rom is without knox and not rooted. ) then now, my wifi and Nfc is not working.
Can anyone help me?

What kind of custom rom you were using?
Now im using a stock, however, I did not installed by Odin. I found one flasheable by custom recovery.
PS: My devide model is n900w8.
And I found a few versions of roms stock, however, all that have a same bug, force closes and reboots. I tried install by Odin, and also flasheable, and got a same problems. Roms for n900w8 is all a trash.
I found a ROM stock flasheable for n9005, and its working fine, but WiFi and NFC is not working.
