Well, I've made a huge mistake not backing up my phone immediately after rooting it and now I have to suffer the consequences for my dumb actions. I didn't think I'd run into much trouble, as I never have with either my Galaxy S3 or Desire HD before that and flashing countless roms.
Well, after rooting my phone with chainfire auto-root, I immediately flashed this rom and it was working fine, until I decided to flash my favorite Android Revolution HD rom.
Immediately after flashing it I received an error and ended up without Wi-Fi, or sound. There was a file posted called Wi-Fi fix, but it didn't work for me after flashing it, trying another modem did help with the WiFi (but still no sound) and it wont let me unlock my SIM.
I'm at a loss here, and not really sure what to do (other than trying to flash all of the modems available for 9505).
Tried flashing stock firmware through odin, but ended up with a failure to write.
If anyone could share some light on this matter, it would be greatly appreciated.
Yes, it happens a lot. On what rom are you excactly?
Can you try this?
1. Make sure you are on modem MJ5
2. Do a full wipe in recovery.
3. Flash this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2372286
According to that chef, you shouldn't need to flash any fixes after.
Or you can just try to flash this kernel. But i'm not sure on what rom you are:

I did flash that ROM, and the modem, but it ended up freezing as soon as I opened the phone app and I still had no sound, wifi was working though.
Ended up flashing I9505XXUDMHB_I9505PHNDMHB_I9505XXUDMHB_HOME.tar.md5 through odin and that seems to have fixed my problems, phew.
Same problem After flashing leneageOS,
Device Mi note 4, karnel 3.18.
Could anyone help ! Please..
Hey all,
I got my phone and immediately flashed to gr33nd3vil's cm11 rom using TWRP and ioroot. The biggest problem I'm experiencing is that I'm getting absolutely no GPS lock. I downloaded GPS test and it says 0 satellites in view and 0 in use. I tried copying some config settings from other gps.confs I saw online to no avail, as well as clearing/updating AGPS inside of GPS test. I also tried both high accuracy and device only modes.
Does anyone have any recommendations for how to go about fixing it? And if the best move is to flash back to stock, acquire a GPS lock, and then flash back to cm11, can anyone point me to the best method for flashing stock if I didn't back it up before flashing cm11?
Thanks!

Have you tried installing the GPS config files?
I think this will help but try download an program that will install the config files. For example I downloaded and app called Pimp my ROM and I can download the GPS files from there and it installs them for me. Do that and reboot and see if it makes GPS work.

I too had the same problem.. What i did was to copy the gps.conf file from stock rom and replaced it with what i had in ma phone with cm. This will not help much. But now i am able to get a gps lock, even though the no. of satellites locked are less compared to that detected by stock.
If you revert back to stock and flash cm, it wont help u. The files of stock will be over written by that of cm.

Update:
I tried using stock gps.conf, to no avail.
I tried flashing a different rom, and still got 0/0.
Flashed back to stock, and now have 0/26.
Think I'm going to return the phone and try to get a new one?

Did you flash a stock version .zip or the actual flashing through the LG tools? If you just flashed a .zip of stock i would just go ahead and flash with LG tools because that program wipes EVERYthing including all the phone memory we can't access.
I flashed with the official LG tool. I took the OTA to 12b and I can get a GPS lock. Maybe if I flash now it will work?
OK guys I've completely given up.... I've completely bricked one phone and keep soft bricking another and have a third laying around, and I just can't figure it out.
I have a G2. The GPS works in stock 4.2.2 (Tested in GPS status and toolbox app) then I root and flash a new 4.4.2 ROM (tried Malladus and Mahdi) and bam the GPS doesn't work anymore.
When I revert back to stock (through lg flash tool) it works again. HOWEVER, if I just flash the stock 4.4.2 LG ROM GPS works once agai.
Do you guys have any clue wtf is up? I can't figure it out... I've tried changing the GPS config, the drivers, every tool in GPS toolbox. Tried GPS test and I just get nothing. Is there something completely obvious that I'm missing here?
I've also tried the trick where I backup my custom ROM, revert to stock and get GPS lock then restore my custom ROM. doesn't work.
thanks!

Try getting a GPS lock on stock using GPS test. Then go into maps and verify the lock is OK. Let it sit in maps for a couple minutes. Don't press the back key, just use the home key and reboot into recovery and flash your ROM.
If that doesn't work, get a lock in stock using the same method and when flashing your ROM don't wipe /system. I know it sounds weird but I had that happen a few times with me and not wiping system allowed me to get a lock on the custom ROM.
Let me know how it goes.

Ok I was able to fix it!
But in a completely random way.
I'll try to describe it in as much detail as I can so anyone who follows will not spend as much time as I did.
First: The problem. (This only happened in custom ROM)
In stock, my GPS worked fine, no problems and I got good lock and everything.
In custom ROM's, however:
My problem wasn't just that I couldn't lock on to satellites, I wasn't able to even see any satellites.
In GPS Test I wasn't seeing any satellites. In GPS Status and Toolbox in the middle right where it says fix/sat my phone was displaying -/-
I tried everything there was, from downloading GPS states to changing my gps.conf file to basically everything I could find online, and nothing worked.
Yet everytime I went back to a stock ROM, it worked perfectly 0.o.
Fix:
Today I gave it one last shot.
I'll try to describe everything I did down to the letter in case any of it makes a difference
I ran LG flash tool, let the phone turn on, but DID NOT activate.
Then I ran LG flash tool again, and let it activate and do it's thing.
From this point on I ran GPS status and toolbox, and I was both seeing satellites and locking on.
Then I turned on Maps (as suggested) and let it lock in on my position and sit there for a few minutes.
I ran ioroot and rooted.
Then installed TWRP.
I then intended to flash to TWRP 2.7.1.0 but somehow flashed 2.7.0.0, and didn't bother changing it. (I don't recommend doing this as it could cause problems.... I was just too frustrated to change)
I backed-up EVERYTHING.
Then I downloaded and saved onto my phone Malladus, Gapps, and the 11a-24-twrp.zip file that was needed.
I flashed it, and BAM it worked.
I turned it on, activated and immediately ran GPS status and toolbox and it worked right away.
Before if I flashed I would just get -/- in GPS status and toolbox, but now I find satellites and lock quickly.
Good luck to anyone who has this problem!
Try following my steps, they may just work.
And thank you for the help!
Hello.
I've recently flashed a ROM through TWRP on my smartphone. Since the ROM was buggy, I tried to flash the stock firmware, but I didn't know which firmware was my old firmware before I flashed the ROM. So I just installed AP_J510FXXU2AQA3_CL10498928_QB12376838_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5, and it's working like a normal new phone before. But one problem, WiFi is not turning on. I've also encountered this problem when I was using a ROM. WiFi won't turn on. When I slide it on, it automatically slides off back. I already tried the WiFi fix trough TWRP but it also didn't work.
Please help me.
