[Q] MIUI - WiFi not working. - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

OK so I'm running the latest MIUI from www.miuiandroid.com on a Galaxy S4 and my WiFI is not working. This has been the case for the last 3 or 4 updates, and I've just been living with it and minimizing Internet use on my 3G data plan.
I've been trying to get this fixed, I've tried flashing the NON-HLOS baseband package in Odin that matches the ROM, but that didn't work. I've tried flashing various modem packages, but that didn't work. I've tried the other MIUI distribution from en.miui.com but that had the same issue. I've tried talking to it nicely, but that didn't work. I'm not at a loss.
Surely this isn't a major problem? MIUI is a very popular ROM. It can't be that everyone using MIUI on a GS4 just foregoes WiFi, right?
Could someone point me to the instructions for getting WiFi to work on MIUI with the Galaxy S4? I would be eternally grateful.
Thanks,
- Naz.

You need to install a custom kernel to get the wifi working.

[Q] What is params.bin and can it mess up my phone or can it fix my bluetooth?

Hey guys,
I'm currently using OzcanRom and it's just great - strongly recommended!
My only issue is exactly the same issue as described in this post:
I'm facing a very strange problem as i'm unable to switch on my bluetooth... last week only i rooted my phone and installed CWM recovery...then i installed Custom Rom's like Hassan ROM, Omega ROM, Cyanogenmod 11 Rom, Pacman ROM etc etc just to check various Rom's and their features out.....At first i installed only one ROM at a time and den also dual booted two ROM's by romswitcher...While i was checking my phone once i discovered that my phone's Bluetooth is not turning ON...The toggle is only becoming light green and also from the settings its only showing turning Bluetooth On but it's unable to turn bluetooth On.....Now i googled my problem and read across various forums for solution...I tried various things also flashed my firmware to stock samsung but still bluetooth does not turn On...also i flashed with stock samsung firmware of feb and march 2014 and updated my phone over OTA but still the problem persists....i even installed latest perseus kernel while rooted but still could not turn my bluetooth ON.
I would be very grateful if someone can help me solve my problem and help me Switch ON my bluetooth as it is very needed aspect for my daily use.
My Version of S4 is i9500 with android kitkat 4.4.2. Also all my other features are working normally on custom ROM's too.

I too installed this Omega rom at some point and once I did that these problems started.
A user in that thread posted a reply in which he uploaded a file which he claims fixed his problem.
I really need my bluetooth to work again and would love to flash this file using Odin if it would fix the problem
BUT
I have no clue what implications flashing this file can have, can it mess other things up? I've spent the last four hours setting things up again in my new ROM and I would hate to have to do it again or even worse, cause some unsolvable problem with my phone.
I assume some of the developers here could help me out - should I run it?
Thanks!

Help with Note 4G, dual-sim, Quad 1.2GHz Snapdragon 410, 2GB ram, 16GB emmc, Gucci

Hi folks,
I'm in Hong Kong right now and I picked up a Redmi Note (HW specs as per the subject line of this thread). I can't seem to find many resources on this specific model, Gucci. It came with MIUI 6, Kitkat 4.4.4, the kernel Build ID is KTU84P if that helps.
I initially flashed TWRP to it and essentially screwed up the recovery because the current Redmi Note TWRP builds don't work on this device. After a few hours of pulling my hair I finally found a CWM build that functions, although it's in Chinese... at least it works. So I've been able to root the device. Here is a link to the actual recovery that works http://en.miui.com/thread-94200-1-1.html
I was wondering if there is any hope to getting an English TWRP on this device, and also flashing Cyanogenmod 12 on to it -- or if the builds floating around will be incompatible... I don't want to end up with a brick.
I'm a pen-tester...I'd eventually love to put Kali Linux Nethunter on the device too, but I gather you need to build a kernel for that and I'm a noob as far as building kernels go.
Thanks for your help.
Only if there will be some phone with similar hardware and port ROM from it. I do not know if the kernel sources were released....they said so but did not seem to find it...
I think you have Philz recovery in English for Gucci now. It works for CT version.
I'm also having trouble install CWM or any third party recovery to dual-sim on latest official stock rom.
It shows this when trying to use fastboot:
fastboot boot recovery.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.548s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: dtb not found)
finished. total time: 0.619s
And when doing flash recovery it just doesn't have any effect on reboot. it will keep rebooting to the same stock. Did OP have the same issue?
Edit: after using the thread linked by OP it worked for me also.

I'm searching for a custom rom for Redmi Gucci, which I'm now using, for a long time. I don't like MIUI rom, either developer or not. tried CM11, the LED doesn't work, tried CM12, either mobile data or SIM & usually both of them don't work. I didn't like Flyme OS or FIUI either, so back to CM11 without LED functioning. Seems like, every good ROM is for 'DIOR'. What's the problem with 'GUCCI'? I can't use a DIOR ROM for my GUCCI, so if there's a good, stable & working ROM for GUCCI, other than MIUI, then kindly let me know. My extensive search over google for the last 3 months have been completely unsuccessful. Plz, help me with the ROM solution. Thanx to all beforehand. :'(

Hi, try CM12 from there.
Yes, no need to say, I tried that too. But just as usual with Gucci CM 12.1, it does have the mobile data bug. It can connect successfully to Network, but the mobile data option is always greyed out & u can see that in the signal bar too...an exclamation mark. When u connect to Wi-Fi, that mark goes away & since I can't get wi-fi for 24x7, so mobile data is a must for me. That's why this ROM is of no use to me. I appreciate ur help though. Thanx...

[Q] [q] sm-g900f gps problem

I look a wile around the internet before bringing my problem here.
My issue is like this. I use cm 12.1 and at some point few days ago my GPS stop working. I mean my phone cannot see any GPS Satellite.
I try the following:
Put back the official rom, both 4.4.4 and 5.0
Flash different Kernel.
Flash the PIT
Flash the modem.
Install 2-3 different Roms.
Now i'm back to cm 12.1 and is still have the same issue. What it can be? Is hardware problem? What i can do ?
Looking forward to your help guys.

[Q] Data Works, but No MMS Sending or Receiving. Absolutely Infuriating, Please Help!

LS980 on most recent CM12 Nightly (problem persists on BlissPop offical however). I am on the Ting cell network.
This is the second time I've encountered this problem within a couple of months, and I don't remember how I fixed it the first time...
Any CM12 based ROM (BlissPop, CM, Resurrect) has this issue. I've verified that APN settings are correct, and I'm certain I'm using the right radio file. Tethering and internet browsing all work correctly, just MMS is not working.
Any help is appreciated, I'm really not in the mood for this right now. I have a lot of other stuff on my plate for the next couple of days and just want my damn phone to work.
I'm pretty convinced at this point that this is a residual bug in the CM source code that still, after several months, has not been resolved.
https://www.reddit.com/r/cyanogenmod/comments/3qmpnb/need_ting_mms_apn/
Edit: Does anyone have any recommendations on a good 4.4 ROM to use? And what modem does that require? (ZVE, ZV8, or whatever)
Yeah I'm 100% sure at this point this is a bug in the CM code. I'm sick of this, going back to stock. I know I'm using the correct modem/bootstack/APN. I've ruled out absolutely everything other than the CM source.
Does anyone know of a decent 4.4 ROM that's still available that I could flash? Paranoid Android looked good but all the files are offline from the OP's thread. I need full use of my phone so I have to go back to stock but I know it's a bloated piece of **** so if I could find a stable KitKat ROM that would be great.

4G/LTE not working on cm 13 based roms

Hello, I've tried a lot of cyanogenmod 13 based roms, even cyanogenmod itself, and 4G never worked on any of them.. I'm on g900f, tried changing apn and it didn't work anyway, any help?
No one knows anything? I've tried AOSP roms, and they don't have LTE working for me either..
Make a clean installation of the latest CM13 SNAPSHOT, I used to have the same issue on the late nightlies but the Snapshot fixed it.
I tried that, but as soon as I flashed a custom kernel it stopped working.. Any ideas why?
I'm on latest 6.0.1 original samsung rom update, and lte/4g option is gone, there is just 2g and 3g options... Also gps is buggy when you turn it on, it automatically sets to high accuracy for spying...
I had to return to stock because lte only works during the initial configuration on AOSP Roms.. That's strange. On stock 4G is perfect..
