After rooting I337UCUFNI1, my S4 randomly shows up an error message:
"unable to detect SIM card".
The frequency is at least once per day.
So I brought my phone back to ATT warranty department.
They flashed a stock 4.4.2 ROM.
Then this problem never happens again..
Not sure if that is about the kernel flash thing or not.
How did you root that build number? I was rooted then my phone done an ota update and now towel root doesn't work anymore. So far I don't see anyway to do it. Please let me know what you used . Thanks

Can anyone Help me out here or try and lead me in the correct direction? So I tried to flash my Galaxy S4 i337M on BELL back to factory in odin. I used the I337MVLUAMDJ_I337MOYAAMDJ_I337MVLUAMDJ_HOME.tar.md5 But after flashing and booting up the phone Wi-Fi no longer works along with the phone either says "emergency calls only" or different SIM errors. I'm 100% sure the SIM works perfect I tested it in both or my other phones my Blackberry 9300 and my galaxy S3 and no problems. I have also downloaded that same bell rom from 3 different locations to see if rom downloaded incorrectly. The Phone is also rooted and has the philz_touch_5.18.2-jfltecan.tar.md5 recovery. Any help would be much appreciated.

cant say about the wifi issue, im having my own issues too..but download and flash the correct or compatible kernel for that rom .. that usually fixes sim errors or no signal
Do you have Knox issued in download mode? If so, you need to install 4.3 firmware only

Means you tripped knox. Warranty is now void, and knox itself cannot be used, which has some corporate implications, but if you dont use active sync then it doesn't matter. Now that youve done that, enjoy flashing whatever you want. Cf auto root will give you root, then id install clockworkmod myself via rom manager, and look for a rom to flash. If you wanna keep stock can use xposed to tweak.

so last night i flashed the bell 4.3 ROM and WiFi did start working. I do have signal however I'm still getting a unregistered Sim error. is there any kernel you would recommend? I'm willing to try anything at this point. I bought this phone and not more then a few days after getting it I screw my self out of using it.

If you flashed the stock rom, you'll already have the stock kernel. Did you perform factory resets after you flashed stock? You'll want to, i find it help. If you flashed back to odin with stock, and didn't unlock at some point, should auto assign apn, etc.
Can you confirm eimi and apn are correct? Did you clean flash? Wiping davlik, cache, and factory reset?

So guys i figured out my problem..... Which really sucks... so I bought this phone off of kijiji. the reason why my phone shows up as unrecognized sim is because apparently the phone is stolen.... after just getting off the phone with bell I found this out. so I'm out $450 bucks... I don't know if its possible but is there maybe anyway for me to revive this phone still? change the imei # maybe? idk...
You could unlock it i suppose and use on another carrier, you'd need to purchase a new sim or get one on a plan from a new carrier, unless it gets listed somehow. Not much experience with stolen handset. Maybe go back thru kijiji support and push for a refund.

I don't really wanna put anymore money into this phone if unlocking it doesn't work. and I tried to get a hold of the guy that sold the galaxy to me but no such luck. I think I just have a mini tablet on my hands? either that or a paper weight.
Sim card is like 50 bucks at most. Id unlock it (understand you'll lose LTE) and use a sim from another carrier. Can get them for travel or even online.

. I would unlock, and see if you can borrow a friends sim on a different carrier to make a few calls. If it works, try and get the new carrier to sell you a SIM. they may or may not, depends if the device comes back stolen for them too.
there are guides here you can use to unlock. Usually just a code and combination of presses to unlock. Don't need to pay for it. Search out a few guides. Isn't all that hard, and theres a few apps that do it too.

so just as you recommended I went on you tube and found a free way to unlock my phone. but even after unlocking it and using both a valid Koodo and Fido sims from my friends neither of them worked. both left with the same problem "unregistered sim / emergency calls only" So is there any real way to get my phone fixed? I dont think its possible to change the IMEI? not to imagine that its probably not legal... Any idea if I was to get a smashed s4 even if it was the i337M and say it was the US i337main motherboard would swapping it work?
I may have soft bricked my S4. I was trying to unlock the SIM for it yesterday and stopped due to a problem with getting the MSL so i just continued to use my phone as normal after following these galaxys4root(.)com/galaxy-s4-tutorials/how-to-unlock-sim-on-sprint-galaxy-s4/instructions I got to step 11 and gave up for the day.
I tried to load a different MDL and i kept getting a fail. Now i cant even boot my phone up to the OS.
Any thoughts of even just pointing me in the right direction :|
Im now at firmware upgrade encountered an iussue please select recovery mode in Kies & try again
Ill be using Samsung kies and probably start over
Id still like help on trying to actually sim unlock a SPH L-720 since ive yet to find a newish guide that walks through the downgrade to get the MSL# and such

Sounds like your on 4.3 if that's the case there is no downgrading to anything lower. In case your going to just have to Odin a 4.3 firmware..

If you were on 4.3 already than even Best Buy won't be able to install 4.2.2. I would save my self the hassle and just odin the MK2 tar file from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2601443 it is the fastest download speed. Then when you go to do the sim unlock, autoprime's thread has a link to an MDC modem only file to flash for the downgrade. You can not downgrade the whole firmware, but you can downgrade just the modem to accomplish the unlock.
So, I was going to use Cf-Auroroot like I have for every other Samsung device I've got but apparently there's an issue with it for the N915G.
What I did was put the latest super su file (i used v2.40) on my external SD card and then in Odin flash the latest TWRP recovery from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/general/easy-steps-stock-odin-n915tuvu1anjl-sm-t2943993 (you can also use the sd card fix from here too, flash in TWRP, just install supersu, then add another flash file and install the sd card fix).
Go to recovery mode and flash super su.
I found it had an error flashing cache but a factory reset fixed this so best done BEFORE setting everything up.
Let phone reset, set it up and you now have root access with a clean install of stock rom.
Happy days.
This worked fine for me and left out the step of flashing CF-Autoroot which wasn't needed.
You will still trip Knox.
I don't know if this will work flawlessly for you or for all models, especially if the bootloader is locked, but theoretically it should.
Good luck guys, happy flashing.
And HAPPY NEW YEAR...:laugh:

Exactly the same method... I believe Twrp 2.8.5.0 and Supersu 2.4.6 were what I used to root Lollipop...

You should not have many issues with 5.0.1. What you need to do after flashing the 5.0.1...you need to reset to factory setting. Im sure by now you know when upgrading..you still keep data from the kitkat. This may cause conflict and issues. At the moment the only issue i had is sometime i get that contact closed notifications. I have google this issue...seem like it happen to other phones to with early 5.0.1. For me im ok...cause it only happen very rarely...i hope a much later lollipop will fix this issues.

Got my SM-915G, and got it rooted and TWRP installed following you method. It is working with AT&T and I am getting LTE data speeds, but it is struggling on voice network. hardly any bars are visible on the signal strength icon.
Is there any solution?

Possibly flashing the modem and non-HLOS.bin for AT&T.
I can't really say as I live in Oz and have no problems with voice calls...
I do find that my bars don't tend to go over 3 or more than halfway but that could be due to where I live and the crappy coverage we get here... No problem with voice calls though...
I am not sure if I can install SM-N915A modem on 915G.
Can someone confirm if that is possible, if so, what version?
tell me one thing is xposed framework and freedom app now working on note edge 915G lollipop
Nope. Better stick with Kitkat if you intend to use Freedom and Xposed.

Oh well, no way around it then. Warranty is for the timid anyway lol. Gotta pay to play.
So I got this Note 3 as a gift from a relative. So I don't have much info on it. Apart from it having Vodafone Bloat pre-installed. I have the device on stock rom Android version 4.4.2, and NG1 baseband. So I tried rooting with CF-autoroot and it successfully rooted but unfortunately ever since I rooted it, there's no network. It reads the sim, but it doesn't register to any network. I also installed Xposed right after rooting before realizing the issue when trying to download modules (since samsung has a bad habit of showing me network bars even without a sim)
So now I'm in dire need of a solution since this is my only working phone at the moment and I'll be leaving tomorrow for Eid at a relative's house where I won't have my PC.
I've looked around in the forums but there's no definite solution. No, I didn't flash stock back yet. I'll have to wait till 12AM when my ISP doubles my speed. But any tinkering I can do now?

You can use wondershare mobilego to root the phone. The software has one-click root. This is the easiest way however the software also install a lot adds on your phone.
If you want to do the clean manual route...
1.You need to downgrade your phone to Kit-kat 4.4.2 NB1/NC1 .
2. Use towel root to root the phone.
3. Install safestrap or flash fire.
4. Flash the desire Lollipop rom via safestrap or flashfire.
You can find all the instruction and files in this post.
question after downgrading can i upgrade back to 5.0.1 or do i have to use a custom rom ?

Don't know much about magisk on i-337. . I am not sure whether you need a unlocked bootloader to use magisk. I saw magisk on zenfone 2 though. Then again zenfone 2 bootloader can be unlocked. All the i377 BL are locked. Only the initial one (ADB, MDL) could be exploitable (not unlock).

Then you better be on T-mobile
Most smart phone make for US came with locked bootloaders.
To avoid that I bought international version. The problem with international phone on ATT network is that you can not get 4GLTE signal for mobile data. You can get either 3G or 4G based on your phone. ATT told me that only phone make for ATT network could get the 4GLTE signal.
I heard international phone can get 4GLTE signal on T-mobile network.
