Hello XDA Team, I've had a problem with my Canadia Galaxy S4, i requested an unlock to a guy which unlocks phones with some Octopus or Z3X box, for some odd reason the program would not read the phone's codes to unlock so the unlock process failed, before leaving this guy clicked on some "repair NVM" button in the program, when in home i noticed the phone's wifi wont turn on properly, half-greened button & when it managed to turn on it would not save the passwords once i connect to some network, it's a very similar problem as this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2661859 , i've flashed Stock Telus Firmware & other canadian carriers with no luck, except by CyanogenMod11 where it works perfectly, done full wipes for clean installs, i also tried to move the CM11 etc/wifi/ files to the Stock firmware which makes it to turn on a little faster, but still no luck saving the passwords, the phone was in 4.3 version then updated to 4.4.2, didn't worked neither.
I have searched all over google for a solution but couldn't find any
Is there any solution to this? or this guy really damaged the NVM thing he clicked? he had my phone for almost a month with no success repairing, any suggestions ? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone again, i managed to fix this problem by setting all permissions to all EFS folder files, This may fix your WiFi problems after an Box unlock procedure.
Hello, i took a couple of screenshots to be the most specific & easiest for you all.
First of all you need to be rooted.
1.- Install Root Explorer & open it up, it will show you this once you open it.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2.- Look for the EFS folder & go throught it, after that select all the files and folders inside.
3.- Press menu softkey & select the Permissions option.
4.- Select all of the permissions as shown in the image & click Ok.
After you done that, reinstall your Stock Firmware or simply reboot, & check if it's working properly again, I hope this helps.
How do you set all permissions to all EFS folder files?

Yes, you do need to have Root browser, but i'd recommend you to use Root Explorer because you cannot set permissions to all files at once with root browser.
Thanks!!! It works, followed your steps and rebooted, auto connected to WiFi. Thanks a bunch. I recommend this tutorial if anyone is have WiFi issues with their GS4.

Hiii....I am also having the same problem.My phone was unlocked by a guy and everything was working fine then.From next day the i could not turn on WiFi(It would go grayish for some time and then return to normal).I tried searching for it online and found the following soln
1)Reboot and check(Didn't work)
2)Factory Reset:After doing this it worked for that initial scanning but again was back to normal once wifi was switched off
3)Factory reset and installed root browser(my phone is rooted as i was able to install root explorer) and tried renaming the wpa-supplant config file
.This was worked for me for like 4 days.
After that again the problem is back and its even worse.It is immediately turning off as opposed to delay in previous case.When i tried to follow the same procedure the config files are not present.I could not on wifi even after factory reset even once
As i am a new around here detailed help would be appreciated;
My Device Features:
1)Andriod:4.4.2,SGH I337
2)Baseband:I337UCUFNC1
3)kernel Version:3.4.0-1125940
4)Build No:KOT49H.I337UCUFNC1

Okay then follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2663545 an user with this problem fixed his WiFi with that guide, i believe you're using AT&T Galaxy S4. king regards.
Thanks it works
Thanks for the great idea for modifying the permission.
It works on my SGH I337 NI1 Unlocked & of course Rooted.
I uses ES Explorer with Root Explorer enabled.
Using this explorer, I have to modify the file one by one, but it is fine.
One problem that is still unsolved for my S4 is: it keeps forgetting the wifi networks after it is restarted.
Perhaps any other file(s)'s permissions need to be modified?
Thank you so much. This problem has been driving me nuts. I just fixed the permissions and WiFi is now working the way it is supposed to.
Yaaaayyy THANXXX it worksss
Thanks!
Wow, it worked. Now I wonder why... Surely it's not a great idea to give global permissions to every file in this folder, and also surely there is just one or two files that need changing.. perhaps just the wifi folder?
Anyway, thanks a lot! And if anyone knows why this works, I'd love o know.
Oh, I'm on an AT&T S4.

I believe it corrupted the efs folder while in the unlocking process.

So I have AT&T SGH-I337 with NJ4 build and baseband. I recently rooted and installed Safestrap recovery and everything was fine, but then messed up when flashing a rom and softbricked my device. When i restored it by flashing an NB1 stock build, wifi was fine, and then i went and installed safestrap again and restored from nandroid. I then noticed that my wifi wasn't on. From then on, the wifi will NOT turn on, no matter what I try. I tried factory resetting, flashing the right modems, etc etc, and i just can't fix it. Any help?

Hi, my phone came as a re-furb and it had a united arab emirates rom on it(ramadan dates on calendar, all languages set to arabic etc.), wifi was working on this rom fine.
i upgraded to xxungng8 and wifi also worked. the next day when i took my phone off charge it dropped wifi. the only way i was able to get it back was installing the adam kernel. i had tried updating the modem(non hlos wifi fix). that was last friday, the wifi stopped working the nxt time i had finished charging my phone, now i cant get wifi working atall, it did work once after the battery had ran right down and i recharged it, but only for a few minutes. i changed the rom to xxufnc9 because on the thread it showed it fixed it for a lot of people but not me unfortunately.
when i try to turn on wifi the slider goes across to the 1 but is grayed out, it then jumps back to 0, and does the same each time i try to start wifi. ive got a build.prop file(through adam kernel) which changed the setting from true to fasle also.
i have tried updating the modem to the latest(GNk4) but it wont take on the phone, when i dial *#1234# i get
AP:i9505xxufnc9
cp:i9505xxufnc9
csc:i9505oxafnb8
i think if i can get the phone to take the wifi fix modem this should solve it?
i have tried flashing with oden, getting pass, manually rebooting(both power for 10 secs and battery pull), then flashing again straight into recovery then reset but no luck so far.
Any help would be great, thanks.
so obciously when i tried the update the modm it didnt take.

1. Download, unzip and flash the latest firmware for your device via ODIN: HERE.
2. Make a data backup and a "factory reset" (Settings > Accounts > Back Up and Reset > Factory Data Reset > Reset Device > Delete All/Erase Everything) then.
3. Try if you have wifi when your device reboots.
4. Dial *#1234# and tell me what appears :highfive:

Seems to be a hardware issue. Remember dont mixmatch bootloaders and everything they are the ones that mess up with WiFi very easily. Reset your phone once more go into download mode and flash the latest firmware for your phone 2 times. If that doesn't work then you have a hardware issue.

Just curious if you have flashed the ROM @Joku1981 gave you the link for a second time? That should also correct the bootloader issue you're having. It should be the same as the baseband.

Hello,
I was cleaning my closet today and found my long forgotten Galaxy S4. I turned it on and a update notification poped (for 4.4.2), so far so good. The updated installed successfully and everything is wroking fine, however I can't turn Wifi on anymore. It worked just fine before the update!
So far I've tried doing the following:
I'v taken the battery out, both after shutting down the device and while the device is on.
I've factory reseted the device.
I've re-flashed the same official build using odin.
I've rooted the device to check wpa_supplicant.conf permissions and they seem to be fine (system:wifi)
I've flashed Wifi-fix kernel.
None of the above helped. I still can't turn it on. When I click the toggle or swipe the switch in settings it hangs a bit, stays dark then automatically goes back off on it's own.
Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks for the reply. That's the exat same tutorial I used to root my device (so I can check permissions of the wifi config files). I flashed a the official build image after that so the kernel shouldn't be the problem?
Btw I downloaded the image from sammobile and the md5 was correct!

Did they write the cause in the repair quote?
Two ways of sorting this one.
1/ Flash a stock firmware which will fix your GSM and LTE modems along with the baseband. You'll wipe your internal storage but that's the way to go if you want a clean start.
2/ Flash the right GSM and LTE modems along with the baseband. Good if you want to keep your existing rom and not wipe you internal storage however -
It is essential to run the same versions for the Modem and Non-Hlos files as the chips talk to each other while the phone operates.
MODEM.bin = firmware for GSM Interface
NON-HLOS.bin / Firmware for LTE & WiFi Interfaces
here's where I got my modem and LTE modems from:

Problem: Flashing TWRP on Odin doesn't work & No root
Goal: Custom Recovery, Root, and a stable, bloat-free ROM
So I recently decided to try to switch ROMs in hopes of finding something stable but not outdated. As always seems to happen when I tinker with a phone, a problem arises.
I decided to try out AntaresOne's Optimized CM12 ROM since it did mention specifically supporting CDMA devices. I followed the necessary steps including changing the file systems and it installed just fine. However, I lost root access, something I really needed since I had made a nandroid backup of my data & apps which I need in order to restore the apps & data that I need.
I downloaded and followed the instructions for the CF Auto Root but despite Odin indicating that it successfully installed, the device was not rooted and SuperSU was not installed.
After failing to find any new or alternative root methods, I found a Touchwiz based ROM that claimed to have root. It required that the firmware be updated first so I did so but unfortunately, I have not been able to install TWRP since it was replaced by the stock recovery during the firmware update.
The stock ROM that came with the firmware update is running which allowed me to go ahead and make a PRL & Profile Update and I'm hoping to be able to grab some APKs.

Wow, auto-reboot being on is what was causing the problem.
I flashed the ROM after getting TWRP and wiping data/cache/dalvik/system . Unfortunately, WiFi isn't working which I assume means that the firmware update didn't work. I'm not sure why though since the baseband version did change.
Thank you very much for the quick response and help.
EDIT: I finally got root back by finding a Super SU zip and installing it via TWRP Recovery. I also updated the baseband to the latest version (HO1) but I'm still having some problems with cell data.
Custom touchwiz based roms have broken WiFi a lot of the time if it isn't built from the same bootloader that you are on. That being said, after updating your phone with a newer bootloader to install a new rom a factory reset is in order.
Also, some custom roms that are global are set to gsm by default, you would need to switch it in settings-cellular network if you have a CDMA carrier.

Yeah, since I couldn't get wifi going I went back to trying this CM12 Rom by the JDC Team. It works well except that I never can get cellular data. I have Sprint which is a CDMA carrier but strangely, there aren't any settings related to network type in the Cell Network section. What threw me off even more is the lack of any APN settings. I wanted to ask about this in the ROM's thread but like a lot of threads on XDA, there is a minimum of ten posts needed for a user to make a post so I'm left in the dark.
What options are in your cell network menu?

The only options are data roaming, Preferred Network Type, and System Select.
What about under preferred network type

That only allows me to change between LTE, 3G, 1x, and Global. Just for kicks, I tried switching to each one for a few minutes but that didn't make a difference.
Hello everyone,
My brother has just offered me a s7 edge SM-G935F / 32G, Rom stock without operator that he used for 2 months after purchase.
My pb is that after resertting this phone, then reboot, I am asked the google account with which this phone was syncing (it's of my bro). Normal!
Then I enter the data account google of my brother and then Passwords ... and there, a verification code sent him that communicates me by sms after receiving.
But helas, every time I get it, the phenomenon is repeated and so I can not use the phone for use!
My idea was to flash the last ROM Stock...but no way, the pb is always the same...the warning message !
For info, the dl and recovery mode are operational but I am without root so without TWRP and other ++++
However, the dev mode of the system is not activated too ...
Thank you for your help...

You are facing FRP issue which is factory reset protection security feature by google..So everytime you will reset your device, you will be askd for the same google account which was previously added to device..Are you on marshmallow or nougat? IF your phone is functioning well then enable developers option by pressing build no for 7-8 times from software info you will find in about device from settings..After enabling developers option enable Oem unlocking..Hope this will help you..You can also flash latest stock firmware for your device usinh odin after enabling Oem unlocking from developers option
@DroidHackeR,
I'm in nougat because i have flash the latest Rom Stock yet with odin (4 files) + factory restet!
But the pb is the same...because i can't enable Oem unlocking from developers option by pressing build no for 7-8 times from software info
I have no access to do that, My procedure stops until the moment to put the login of gmail ... I do not go beyond that after the flash !
Another idea pl?
How can i enable Oem option directly by odin for example?
I can't flash custom rom because of it too...
Ths for your help.

Just download latest 7.0 stock firmware for your device from sammobile.com though your already on nougat..firmwares there are updated according to security patches timely..so my suggestion is download latest nougat firmware for your model and country and flash usinh odin as described above..You will boot normally...If after flashing latest nougat if your device stuck at Samsung logo i.e. called bootloop..Press volume up+power +home button, you will boot into stock recovery..from there choose wipe data/factory reset option..you will boot up normally..

Hi @DroidHackeR,
I realize that this video is no longer current because dating several months ... besides, nothing makes clear if this manupulations was made under Nougat or old versions ...
Recent updates may have blocked it, hence the large number of errors identified ...
what do you think?
Thank you !

Ohhhk dear @Bishopandme i am very glad to see your phone is saved and all of our quotes and comments are reserved in this thread to help any other suffering from same issue..Cheers..
Hello all,
I'm having the Samsung Galaxy S8 (SM-G950F) the device with the Exynos CPU.
Everything worked fine with Android 9.0 and the One UI 1.0 until I decided to install TWRP and a custom ROM using Odin software.
Lots of things with a custom ROM isn't working correct.
Such as the NFC, apps for e-banking, Netflix etc. I didn't root my device.
So, I need to go back to factory defaults.
I downloaded the proper firmware from sammobile and installed it using Odin.
I extracted the zip file and followed the instructions from sammobile's site.
1. Extract the 5 firmware files (i.e. to folder c:\Odin)
2. Open Odin
3. Power off your phone
4. Reboot Phone in Download Mode
Connect USB-cable to your computer. Hold down Volume up and Volume down at same time. While holding down, connect the USB-cable to your phone
5. Wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
Add the firmware files to their designated slots (AP in AP, BL in BL, CP in CP, HOME_CSC in CSC). Do not tick any extra boxes. The only options to be ticked are F. Reset Time and Auto-Reboot.
Click the start button to begin flashing the firmware update
6. Click the start button to begin flashing the firmware update

My phone is working, but now I'm having an issue with my Google account.
My device is not certified.
I found instructions online to fix it but none is working.
What I'm missing here?
The method i used is the proper one or not?
Thank you in advance.
Read this... probably a Samsung Experience center at Best Buy be able to sort it out.
On my Samsung's I never touch the firmware unless there's corruption (not happened so far). Don't even update/upgrade it. Zero issues.
Thank you @blackhawk for your instant reply.
I have done this a few days ago.
The uncertified message is displayed in Google Play settings.

I have used the Device ID app in the device registration website by Google.
When I'm trying to paste my Google Services Framework Device ID the box is turned into red as the screenshot below and a pop up message appears with Value already registered.
The list contains two entries. I don't know what these are regarding.
I'm also having an Android TV box with the same Google account.
Gmail, Google Photos, Google Drive and other Google stuff is working, but Google Pay & Netflix is not working.
I tried also clear the cache and data from Play Store app.
Is there anything else i can do?
You're welcome.
Gookill is a mess. If it's generating any error code messages look them up.
Try deleting the Google account on the phone, reboot and set it up again... I hope this works.
I have done this too.
I removed the Google account, I forced stop the Play Store. I cleared the cache and data. I rebooted my phone and I signed to Google. The message had gone in Store's settings. I tried to access the Google Wallet (Pay) or Netflix with no luck!
The message appeared again!

Try again but clear Playstore data too. The cause maybe be in other Google apps data.
Don't know...
Thank again @blackhawk
As I said before, I deleted data and cache.
I don't know..
anyone else knows another way of fixing that issue?

Is your bootloader unlocked? If you're trying to return to bone stock, you'll need to relock the bootloader to pass hardware attestation.
Or...
Root with Magisk and install the Universal SafetyNet Fix module.
