Hi all,
Ever since updating to the latest MGA via OTA firmware nearly 2 weeks ago the Wifi has been causing me a lot of issues. The following evening after updating the firmware, the wifi just randomly turned itself off and would refuse to turn on again. When I attempted to turn it back on via the widget, it would go grey as it's attempting to turn on but then it would just stay at that and it will not turn on at all. After a few minutes it will either go back to being completely turned off or the phone would just reboot itself.
Now, I have tried several things to rectify the problem i.e. applying the MGA wifi fix, factory restoring the phone via the settings and also in Kies, downgrading back down to the MEA firmware, re-flashing the stock MGA firmware via Odin and re-flashing both the MEA & MGA modems seperately - all to no sucess!
At the same time while all this is going on, the phone itself will sometimes randomly reboot itself when attempting to turn on the wifi or even in the rare case when the wifi does turn on and it will work for 5 or so minutes - the phone will reboot itself again while trying to simultaneously update various apps through the play store.
Lastly, the phone has already been sent back to Samsung a few days ago regarding this issue and the phone was returned back to me yesterday with Samsung apparently stating that they had diagnosed and found an issue with the phone (even though they could not tell me what??) and that they had sucessfully repaired it. Upon turning the phone back on going through setting up the phone again, I come to the wifi connection and guess what... it doesn't turn on. Yep that's right, I'm still stuck with the same problem!
I got straight onto Samsung on the phone and complained about this as I'm not happy at all, and they have agreed to have the phone back in for another repair and apparently something will be done properly this time.
It's not good enough though, to me all it looks like that Samsung have done their end on the original repair is re-flash it with the MGA firmware once again, shove it back in the box back to me and hope for the best. Even the Samsung agent on the phone yesterday could not tell me exactly how they apparently repaired the phone as there was not anything on the repair report what so ever, unbelievable!
Anyway, do any of you guys have any ideas with what else I can do my end to try and rectify the problem? To me though, this sounds like a physical hardware fault that only Samsung themselves can sort out...
Thanks - Liam

Well I have only had this problem with rooting phones etc... to me this happened with so many ROMs I tried. Even certain stock roms. I am not sure fully how I fixed it, but I know now I am running the OMEGA rom and this seemed to have worked for me so possible to try that? Just an option

When I first downgraded back down to the MEA firmware that I was linked to from another forum, I discovered straight after flashing that it was a pre-rooted ROM and the wifi still would not turn on then.
The phone has been sent back to Samsung again today for another repair but last night as a last ditched attempt, I downloaded & flashed the stock XXUAMDM firmware from April and the wifi still refused to turn on.
I'm still convinced that the problem itself is hardware related rather than software based going by that the problem is still present regardless of what ROM I'm on, it's just a case of trying to get Samsung to see that. I can understand now why that Samsung the first time round probably only did a fresh re-flash of the MGA firmware instead of going ahead and taking the phone apart/replacing parts as I imagine it's very labour intensive/standard procedure and not only that - the S4's mainboard (from what I've seen the wifi module is part of the mainboard) retails at over £200 which is a hefty repair cost on their part.

It is some sort of permissions issue.
If you do chmod 777 on /dev/*, /system/etc/wifi/* it should be working.
The only thing I haven't figured out is why
And it has to be done again after rebooting the phone, wich makes me sad.....
How I fixed my WiFi and sound problems after updating to latest firmware over
Hi there. (Sorry for any mistake about my English). By the way, I'm newbie on Android.
After freaking out about my WiFi problem, i didn't even care about the others problems like the sound, and I don't know if there were or if there is still some, but WiFi and sound got fixed.
After a lot of research on Google and XDA I came to the conclusion that if I could just re-install the firmware, I had
1- I Download the same firmware you are on (i guess it safer this way) I got the same (I9505VJUEMKE) that had caused the problem when was update trough Kies.
GT-I9505_PDA_I9505VJUEMKE_4.3
Changelist: 2210919
Build date: Wed, 27 Nov 2013
CSC: I9505ZTOEMKE_ZTO_Brazil
MODEM: I9505VJUEMKE
Gdrive: (créditos ao +Alexandre Affonso - Vlw)
Two links for download this firmware. (really fast download since its on gdrive)
goo.gl / UrZWAE .
goo.gl / omJC9e "
2- Unpack the Zip File
3- Putt the phone in "Download Mode"
4- Open Odin 3.07 and Connected the cable. (check if Odin linked a port to your phone, i didnt get any color change, just the COM Port number and the "added" mentioned on Odin)
5- Load the firmware on "PDA", wait a few seconds till Odin load it.
6- Click Start and wait the whole process. Don't disconnect the cable until Odin says that it was Successfully.
Finished!
After all I did the root with Odin + CF Auto Root + Supersu and So far everything is fine and better than before.
Hope I can help few of you guys.
Thanks.
Hello guys,
For the last month i have been fighting with connectivity issues on my SG4 i9505.
It starts out with just losing the connection and then getting it back, gradually over time it gets alot worse, so that it then requires using airplane mode and back to normal. along with *#*#4643#*#* disabling radio and enabling it again.
The next step is rebooting, but this does not always help, i often need to suppliment this with a cache format, which in new android versions is a real pain, exp with kitkat due to ART with it compiling. Anyway this is fare from the correct solution to do this multiple times a day.
I have also tried factory wipe, etc without luck, its the same as wiping cache with the side effect of losing my settings.
I tried getting a new simcard from a completely different carrier, this has not helped a bit, i also tried disabling 4g so that it only uses 3g (my carrier does not have 2g connectivity and on my previous carrier using 2g only did not help anything.
i started out with the XXUAME2 baseband, and i am now at XXUEMK9 and it has not helped to upgrade it.
I have been unreliable for over a month, phone calls drop, i can't reply to sms's without rebooting/wiping cache etc, asking around in diff irc channels without luck.
Does anyone have suggestions/solutions to this problem ? I really like to get my phone back up and working.

CM11 apparently does not have screenshot support yet, so i'll just manually write it in.(i am running latest nightly)
model number: GT-I9505
baseband version: I9505XXUEMK9
I am from Denmark, so the phone is unlocked.
I started out with Telenor, then Bibob and now Oister as carrier all 3 have had the same issues.
My phone came stocked with XXUAME2 so i am using the correct firmware according to varrious threads around.

Hi,
I believe you have flashed a wrong baseband, try to downgrade it. I had a similar problem with mine some time ago, I was with bad signal due to an outdated baseband, then when I flashed a new one, it wasn't compatible with my bootloader... So, try checking this thread to get one better for you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192025.
I got my luck with the MJ5 baseband, I'm with the old bootloader too (UB).
Hope this helps,
~Lord
Hi guys, sorry for the slow reply, i had to be sure before saying if it was working or not working.
I downloaded the original rom/baseband from sammobile and tried it out, this turned out to be alot worse, due to i am unable to clear dalvik cache with the recovery clear cache.
also due to the lack of *#'*#4636#*#* it made the experiance alot worse.
the baseband i am now using is XXUEMKF with KNOX (so i am now knox 0x1)
I'm currently trying out the google edition, but looks like the issue remains.
funny thing is i do remember it working in the past with some old AOSP/AOKP version.
i'm completely lost, expecially due to its so random.
It gets to the point where i am unable to search for networks, and other times there is no issues.
Update:
Ok i've noticed something very strange, its some how tied into the wifi, when i disable wifi i lose my 3g/4g connection and when i enable it again the connection returnes quite fast. though the connection at points, can get lost again.

What Odin version are you using? Do you have installed kies 3 in your PC? If don't, install it to update the drivers and flash that 4.3 Rom you downloaded from sammobile again with Odin 3.09.
Fyi, once you had installed a4.3 knox rom, you are not able to return to a 4.2.2 stock Rom.

I am using odin 3.09 and kies 3 is installed, its been flashed many times
I've tried multiple reflashings, in fact every day last week was 2-5 flashes a day. I install my apps again and set them up each time, takes quite a long time, just to remove it again later on, got any suggestions to saving my apps and settings along with wifi ? (google restore does not work with all roms and is not always effective).
Googling my issue returns quite a few results with people that have simular issues but no solutions.

Sorry, but I only left to think you have a hardware problem...
You can make easy backups for selected user apps with System Tuner, and if you are root also system apps.
Good luck.

Hello,
My girlfriend bought new Galaxy A5 2016 (gold) on 15/03. Already while I was completing some settings (Google acc / Sams acc "in" and install of such mere apps as viber, skype, facebook..) the phone restarted on its own twice, without any logical explanation (no significant load, no root, since the divice was almost stock).
This bug has occured while this week two or three times a day. Unfo I cannot associate it with any app or particular action. The phone reboots even in sleep mode or when screen is active.
It doesn't look like hardware deficiency. I tried to delete Google Play Services updates (suggested by local Sams support), hardreset and etc., however - no success. The phone continues to restart its own
Have no idea what to do Can you help me?
best regards

Are you use memory card/sd card? Try to remove that...
It happened to me the same thing on my old Desire S... The battery were not firmly pushed in its location... So, you could verify that!
hi,
i have the same trouble with my new A5 2016. the phone reboot from itself during the night or the day without any reason... happened 4-5 since March, 14.
a friend with the same a5 2016 has same issues.
We have no SD card, no root, stock.
if anyone have a solution, that would be great !

Reflash stock rom...
I don't have this issue at all , try a factory reset or flash a stock rom.
Hi,
I've bought a A5 2016 in February (Rom stock, No root, dev options unmasked) - Since then, I've Had 3 power off on its own. I've followed forums and wiped my cache. But this morning I had my phone restart on its own.
I'm quite mad at Samsung for now.
Maybe try calling samsung support?
I have had this problem with my A5 too. Whenever the device updates some app, it re starts.
What exactly occurs during the restart? Does the phone vibrate and show "samsung galaxy a5 (6) powered by android" or does it simply play the boot animation without audio.
If the second option is happening with you., then I suggest you re flash the stock Rom. You can get the stock rom from you mobile or San mobile.
I have the A5(2016) from 2/3 weeks but I never had this problem. If you have the A510F model you can try the German firmware (A510FXXU2APC4 - (build version LMY47X.A510FXXU2APC4). Flash it via odin and donwload the firmeware from sammobile.com. for odin guide see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/samsung-a-series/help/rom-stock-firmware-samsung-galaxy-a5-t3305863
To Ahmad89:
Thanks for your response. I actually had logo A5-6 powered by android during restart. I remember to have switched on WiFi connection before it restart (i know that updates occurs only when WiFi's on). That may be an explanation. there may may have been an attempt to update. But the "switch off on its own" event seems more annoying. I did remember one time my phone went off when charging and at that time i used non official Samsung charger. perhaps it was linked to fast charging and a powerless charger that shuted the phone off. What about the two others occurrences when it went off? (the phone being in stand by mode). I can imagine every scenario but no valid explanation.
To zyxw :
I've had the phone update to XXU2APC4 since 3 hours.
I'll do my best to stay in touch for relevant news.
Thanks.

I had the update by Kies I presume. I did it by updating the phone in settings/software update. I had several times used Odin for my note 3 but for my A5 i didn't want to flash the whole ROM. My country is France. The New baseband is A510FXXU2APC4 and the version Number is LMY47X.A510FXXU2APC4.
At this time no restart or shut off by its own - but too soon to validate.
I will do a wipe cache very soon.
I'll warn you once restart or shut down happen, if so. :fingers-crossed:
We have the same build version so maybe you will not have the problem!
I have PC4 too , no issue so far.

Hi,
I have been having a ongoing problem with my Galaxy Note 3 N9005 in where after the 5.0 upgrade (stock over air) it has been restarting pretty much 4-5 times during the day, and a number of times while even just sitting on the desk doing nothing.
Since I am still on contract with my supplier in NZ, I took the phone back to get repaired, in which Samsung sent it back to state "Software corruption, reloaded software".
I didn't believe them, but hoped it was correct - but sure enough the same thing happened. So I once again took it back, where they have once again told me the same thing. It is now the third time I have done this, with Samsung saying the same thing!
Now I am at wits end, and have asked for replacement, but I am being told "It is due to your google account being corrupt, and it is causing software corruption....." *sigh*
So now not only is Samsung just not helping, they are blaming my Google accounts for causing the issue. Which btw - I didn't setup the last time, and still it restarted - but they are ignoring that fact!
Anyway - the advice I want to get is has anyone else had the same issue with the Galaxy Note 3 after upgrading? I know there is no way to rollback 5.0 to old version, but did anyone fix the issue by Root and then adding another ROM (I don't want to root this phone, but to be honest I also can't afford right now to replace so I am looking at options)
Right now I am facing a ongoing battle with Samsung and my provider to replace the phone, but they are fighting it a lot and to be honest I have lost my patience so I am thinking to just drop them, root/flash new Rom, and then go to another provider - and probably never buy Samsung again when I can finally upgrade.
(used to love Samsung products but this behavior I have had is certainly making me think twice before I touch them again)
Since they refuse to accept warranty you can try to flash twrp. Then clear everthing(system/caches). Then back to stock with odin. There might be leftover of corrupted files that could cause reboot.
But later they have a better reason not to accept your phone, knox tripped.
And you can actually downgrade to 4.4.2. Just flash firmware of the same csc to be safe.

Do you have memory card installed? if so then scan you memory card for possible viruses.
Actually I have this issue too before.
Even if I left it lying on the table, it can restart by itself.
I tried to update to latest PB1 rom, the update failed, the phone restart while ODIN updating.
So I use Kies recovery and got it working again.
After that, i tried again update to PB1 rom using ODIN. and now no issues at all.
I dont know which one did the trick whether update to PB1 or KIES recovery.

Thanks - but no I don't - these are the first things I did when it started happening.
When it started happening I did factory reset, removing memory card, factory reset again, didn't restore backup from google... etc etc - so the general admin tech stuff.
Because under warranty (2 year contract) I didn't want to do anything more so sent to provider to get dealt with (into my 22 months of 24 months). For the last 4 months it has been to them a number of times for the same thing.
Now each time they send it back they claim "software corrupt" and that there is no hardware issue. So doing a software root and mod change for me is a hope - and probably not a good one - that the Stock 5.0 is the problem on this phone. And only going down this road because I am coming out of the warranty and right now I have a phone I can't really use, and damn Samsung won't support it or fix it (which is really all I want them to do!!) sigh

Thanks for this information, because in fact you are not the first time I have read this but I am not sure what the Kies recovery is - is there some instructions you have because maybe that is what should try, because I have seen other people on Google state this has helped them with restarting, but that was usually after Mod fix. Maybe there is something in the 5.0 update on GN3 that might cause this?

Since they refuse to accept warranty you can try to flash twrp. Then clear everthing(system/caches). Then back to stock with odin. There might be leftover of corrupted files that could cause reboot.
But later they have a better reason not to accept your phone, knox tripped.
And you can actually downgrade to 4.4.2. Just flash firmware of the same csc to be safe.

Thanks I didn't think from what I was reading that you could backwards - in fact Samsung have just down right refused, which is all I have asked them to do in the last two times - "Just flash back to the version that was on there last 4.4.2. because that didn't cause any issues!" However, they are stating very firmly that you can not rollback or re-flash back to a previous version.
Is there any instructions which are for the 9005? I have seen for the 900 but the instructions state very clearly you can't use them for 9005.

Just flash the firmware with odin. Factory reset in recovery after it's done. That's it. There are a lots of threads about going down such this:

I suggest you read through before you go further. They are mixed results. Some successful. Some did not. That is why it is better to flash the same csc firmware.
I even able to downgrade my S6 from 6.01 to 5.1.1 without issue but of course it's different phone.

Quick, recap, I own a galaxy S5 Lolipop 5.1.1 SM-G900W8 build #LMY47X.G900W8VLU1COI4, previously rooted.
It all begin, when my phone been experiencing some battery draining issue. So I decide to do factory rest. But get this at that time my phone was fully rooted, w/Lolipop 5.1.1...
So I've read all the informations I could get online made sure to unroot the phone ( using CF-Auto Root ktlevl-sm G900W8.), with Odin, and reflash the phone with custom recory (G900W8VLU1COI4.tar.md5 file). I've made sure to get the exact one matching my phone carrier.
And after rooted the phone...All went well...Then 24-48 hours after the **** hit the fan.!!!!
They weere dialogue box keep poping up, from Touchwiz has closed, to Unified Daemond has closed just to name a few...
I decided to factory rest the phone again, reflash and rooted same problem occuring occuring.
So I decide not to root and the issue stop but now I'm unable to fully use my phone because it anin't root so certain function of my phone can't benefit such like using Airplane mode or Mobile data toggle using tasker. When my phone was fully rooted I was able to take full advantage of my Tasker profile. I've google the web and came acrros people who expericing the same issue as I did, but can't find a solution.
If there anyone who had that problem and manage to solve it, kindly share your story and solution with me....
Thank you in advance on getting back to me,
