Is there a way to get the settings in the service menu all back to factory after messing with a few and wanting to change it all back to stock?
No. What firmware are you on?
Edit what do you want to return to stock?

I get stock firmware from sammobile.com. You'll have to register but it's free.

scroll to the bottom and enter the requested code to initiate the download.
When returning to stock. I used your all in one to root, do I need to unlock the bootloader or anything.
more info*
I have tmobiles 8.5 gb data plan. yesterday I downladed a large file. This morning my data connection was really slow. So trying to work around their throttling, I went into the service menu and changed he network control>band preferences to CDMA/LTE only. Worked for a while and then things returned to normal. (Slow crappy service.) So i went a little deeper changed something else in cdma selection ended up without any service at all. Then after a lenghty talk with att and tmobile I decided to do the process to turn on aws again. After doing that the service returned, but the data is still the way it was.
I actually had it where it was saying it wasnt activated asking me activate my phone.......yeah stupid I know I shouldnt mess with things especially when I have no clue what they are. Lesson learned just trying to fix my mess
PS I am not over my data limits

When you return to stock, you're staying all over again. You'll have to reroot, etc. Be sure to be wary of your device trying to grab the MF3 update. Maybe take your sim out and leave wifi off while you root, backup and flash to your desired rom

I was meaning when I return to stock I never installed a diff rom because I am still stock with root. I didnt unlock the bootloader or anything. Just rooted with the all in one tool.

Don't worry about the boot loader. It's locked and you can't unlock it. After returning to stock with odin re-root it using motochopper. Do ask that with the sim out and WiFi off so you don't get the mf3 update.
See this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42320391
Man I am starting to get frustrated,,,,,,,,,.,,.,.,,.,.,.,.,.,,..,,,.I know how to root. Motochopper is what I used to begin with to install twrp and root. My phone is not coming up in odin I have all the current drivers any other things I need for the s4. I have been modding since the s2. But I am very new to the s4. Why doesnt it show up in odin?

Delete the Samsung and kies drivers.
Run ccleaner
Install the Samsung drivers
Then run Odin
finaly got odin to work flashed and rebooted. i thought flashing a rom would delete a lot of my stuff? It is all still there and now my computer doesnt connect to my phone it charges it but doesnt say it is connected.
I have tried different cables and different ports with no luck.

Odin won't touch your internal or external sd cards, the areas you store pics, music, etc. So what your seeing is normal.
So what about my other problem now? My computer not connecting to it.

One at a time, you've rebooted and have your phone working? In development options do you have usb debugging checked?
yes. Kies, Odin, Windows, nothing recognizes it in download mode or recovery even

Hi guys, I'm on an i9505 with stock ROM and everything. I had it rooted before and everything was perfect, but then I updated to 4.3, so I had to re-root. When I re-rooted, everything was still there - I just had to re-install Xposed. However, my Wi-Fi is not working anymore. Every time I click on the Wi-Fi to toggle it on, it flashes green, then turns itself off again.
What is the problem here? My build number is JSS15J.I9505XXUEMKF and my baseband versionis I9505XXUEMJ7. I rooted using CF Auto-root for I9505.

Thanks, I just tried it, but it didn't seem to do anything. Still turning itself off the second I turn it on.
Is it perhaps because my baseband version is not the same as my build number? I don't know much about the details and intricacies of how this stuff works, I only know the basics, but that's an idea that came up.
Or maybe I need the Wifi fix for UEMKF (my build number) rather than UEMJ7 (My baseband version)?
I'm not sure. But just some ideas.

Download and Extract ,then Power Off your device completely and wait a few sec and Press and hold Power+Volume down in order to reach download mode and flash it via odin, and go to settings and check your baseband if the flash are okey.
**If you are having the new bootloader XXUD flash http://www.mediafire.com/download/zriv6i5c01lqns6/GSM_Modem_XXUEMFK_and_LTE_Modem_XXUMFK.rar file with odin by selecting phone.

In the beginning, i can use my note 3 n9005 SFR as usual. But once i tried flashing rom, it showed as error (fail) because I chose BL instead of AP. And i tried to fix it by follow the instructions as Mr. Firasusman suggest me as said in the this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2614787. It solved the problem my phone can now get into the normal screen but i found a new problem. I put in sim card but there is no network signal and I also lost imei when i checked in phone status. What should I do to fix this problem? Anyone, please help me. Thanks a lot.

Check whether EFS folder is backed up by flashed rom in sdcard. If your lucky you can use backup file to get imei number back. Few posts also suggest that flashing back stock rom also get back imei. I am not sure of it. Better back up efs to your pc.

EFS is a folder in phone's file system which saves your phone model, IMEI number and lot more details, Important folder. Flashing ROM the efs folder got corrupted causing the loss of imei number. Try "radicalisto" reply and update the issue.

This fix never worked? - hmm,you have lost your EFS/IMEI somehow then. Does *#06# bring up an IMEI? - if not you'll have to search around for how to fix your IMEI (It can be done)

Having an issue with my father-in-law's SGH-I337 S4 (ATT). A few months ago my father-in-law had this S4 "unlocked" in Vietnam to use a local SIM and wifi/data hasn't worked since (calling works and I believe texts were ok too). New to Android but I gather they replaced the baseband or something (baseband was MJ9 while build was MJ6). Wifi toggle would not move at all, and data did not work. Also got a error message after trying to toggle the wifi.
I reflashed using the MK2 TAR (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2621279). That seemed to get data working and fixed the error but wifi doesn't really work. After first boot/setup, when it asks for wifi network/password, wifi seems to work and shows available wifi networks like expected. I select my network and enter password, then it just hangs for a bit then goes back to the wifi enable screen, with the on/off toggle not green and the area below just says "turning on". Rebooting doesn't change anything. Can't turn on after that. After a hard reset, I am able to do the setup again, but same thing... works to enter password but then never again.
Seems like the options to try are to reflash a kernel or try a 4.3 ROM, but I don't want to take a few steps back after the reflash got the data working again (at least it can be used as a phone again). Also, my main goal is obviously just getting it working like normal, but I also don't want to lose any future flashing because I was rash and did something I shouldn't have.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Your update to NB1 and use towel root method . I had the same problem when i owned this phone . Even after flashing the kerenel modules i still had no wifi . It will only be a problem for you if you are wanting to stay on the MK2 firmware . Just install Nb1 and after installing dont reboot system , reboot into download mode and flash the NB1 kernel modules and reboot . It may take up to 5 minutes to boot . I switched to the tmobile galaxy S4 and then S5 now because the locked bootloader is a pain in the a$$ and you cant install custom kernels as of last time i checked .

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

I would flash the nb1 tar file in Odin and see if that fixes the problem. It'll return your device to stock, the sim unlock will remain.

The abbreviations are the different types of recovery software that are generally used. TWRP = Team Win Recovery Project.
Plase take this in the spirit its intended, but if you can't use Towelroot, then you have some reading to do before you plug in anything. Trust me. Knowing all the steps you're going to take beforehand is going to save you a TON of trouble, you'll never be stuck with a brick, and you'll possibly save money.

i have the same problem on my S4 SGH-I337 (AT&T) but the wifi is connected but not working and data also connects but no internet access...it's on custom rom and not rooted an this happened just suddenly

Wifi is not turning on after installing cm12
I am using samsung galaxy tab 2 with CM12 . After installing CM12 i saw that my wifi was not turning on . Whenever i tried turning it on It showed 'error' message . What should i do and how do i fix it ? Help.
I recently bit off more than I could chew with my S4 (I337). I had 4.4.2 KitKat on it and wanted to root it to add teathering. I decided thought there was no root for 4.4.2 so I thought I would try downgrading to 4.3 then root. This seemed best because I didn't like the way the SD card is handled in 4.4.2 and some of my apps (like ftp server) have stopped working.
When I got the phone back up from flashing with Odin it says it has version 4.3. My WiFi will not turn on. If I slide the switch to on it slides right back to off and the phone tells me that an operation was block (can't remember the full verbage. I have installed and attempted to install many things on my phone. I have used recovery mode / Odin3 and Kies (Kies doesn't allow much).
At this point I just would like to get my phone back to 4.4.2 with the WiFi working. Then I can restore my backup and be back to square one with a lesson learned.
I have an I337 that currently thinks it has version 4.3 on it. The baseband version is I337UCUFNC1 currently. The build number is JSS15J.I337UCUEMK2.
If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it. I have read and tried many things over a two day period and finally decided to ask for help.
Had this issue before on my Bell Canada S4, but don't recall exact way to fix it.
Think the solution was to find an older (might be newer) stock. I think I used a different version like the Telus Canada version as well and it ended up working. Then you update through kies after.

Wifi does not work because of the modem/kernel mismatch, i.e. MDB modem and MK2 kernel. Not sure what your goal was when you began flashing your phone but since you fortunately did not flash teh MK2 bootloader you are still able to locate the MDB full odin tar and flash back to stock which will resolve your issue.

It depends on what you are trying to accomplish. Are you trying to upgrade to MK2 or higher while maintaining your unlocked MDB bootloader?

If you don't care about losing your MDB unlocked bootloader you can get to the latest kitkat firmware by flashing the NB1 full odin tar from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2674223, then once flashing is complete go to settings/more/about phone/software update then take the ota update to NC1 which is the latest kitkat version for our phone.
But what I would do is keep your unlocked MDB bootloader and since you already flashed the MK2 AP file you can get your phone running well again by flashing the MK2 modem: https://mega.co.nz/#!pwESna5I!YK7EKG37xXIG1ReB-Z-mfSMoXNkXQ9t2EdMK9ofgJKg
From there, there are still a number of options available to get to kitkat which I won't get into.

excited to give this a try. rooted with the downgrade method a couple months ago but left with a non-wifi device. my only issue is that the thread says it's for I337UCUFNC1 and our devices are on jss15j.i337ucuemk2. will this fix still work? I've heard on other threads on the subject that the modem kernel doesn't match up with the flashed rom or build number or something.

Do you already fix it??? cause i have the same problem
Same question, different thread!
Not even an hour ago did I answer the same question in a different thread: How do I get WiFi working on my S4?
Well here you go.
My original answer: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-4-4-2-nb1-t2850878/post54978150#post54978150
The problem is, in order to get WiFi working, you need to install the NB1 modules, but to do that, you need to install Safestrap. However, you can not install Safestrap because the app keeps closing on you. There is a simple fix to this, which I will explain later. For now, just read this WHOLE post BEFORE you do anything, and keep in mind that I am NOT held liable if you mess up your phone. Use this at your own risk.
1.) Root your phone
If you're already rooted with something like SuperSU or Superuser, skip this. If not, read ahead. Download and install the Towelroot APK file attached to this post, open it, and click 'make it ra1n'. If your phone didn't reboot, now you have root (they need to trademark that). Now, down below, I also included the APK for SuperSU. Download and install it. Now open it. When you open it, let it install the 'Normal' way, not via the 'TWRP/CWM' way. Also, when it asks you to disable KNOX, say yes, wait a couple of minutes (it will still be loading) and reboot your phone. Open up SuperSU again, click 'Yes' to disable KNOX again, and now you have a good base to start from.
2.) Install Safestrap AFTER fixing the error
The error your are getting is easily fixed. Go to the Play Store and install 'SELinux Mode Changer'. Open it, grant it root access, and change the mode to 'Permissive'. Now, open up Safestrap again (you mentioned you already installed it), and it shouldn't force close. Click 'Install', and if the 'Reboot to Recovery' option below is not grayed out after that then it worked.
3.) Download and install the NB1 modules
On your phone, download the included NB1 modules ZIP file I attached for you, and once that is done you need to reboot. After the Galaxy S4 logo, you'll see a screen that says 'SAFESTRAP: DISABLED' and there will be a little robot. TIP: To enter Safestrap, press the menu button (physical, hardware key) under 'Recovery' at that screen. To continue to Android, press the back key (again, physical) under the 'System' tab. For now, press the menu button under 'Recovery'. Now, click 'Install' which should be in red, click 'Add zips', and navigate to your Downloads folder. Now click on the NB1 modules ZIP you just downloaded. Swipe to install, and reboot. This time, hit the back key under 'System'.
All done!
Now, Android should (and will) boot up, and you'll have working WiFi! If, for some odd reason, you don't have WiFi- do NOT panic! Just search around for the MF3 modules and flash those! All is good, all is good. A lot of this guide was taken from my post about my personal method of SIM unlocking the AT&T Galaxy S4 without the dialer codes or an AT&T SIM. It was just modified a little to work for you.
Remember, hit thanks!

Those are my exact words. Also, the attached files (NB1 modules, SuperSU, Towelroot, etc.) can be found attached to my post in the link above. Have a good night, and best of luck! :good::good::good:
