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 the Xda developper community,
I have probably tried something with my phone way beyond my abilities (Unlocking my phone!!). My wifi is stuck and my bluetooth not working well. I have tried to fix the problem myself, without any success so far. I am tired of trying and getting I hope you could help me. :fingers-crossed:

1- bought a AT&T Samsung S4 SGH-I337, OS Kit Kat 4.4.2 in May 2014
2- unlock it successfully and it worked well for a while.
3- Then the Wifi stopped working (Turn on button is "stuck" with a greyish green color!) and the bluetooth has since not worked well (short silent every 20 sec or so)
4- Just realized today that my phone doesn't show the IMEI number anymore... I read this is BAD. but apart from the wifi and bluetooth, the phone works just fine.
4- Reset the goddamn phone several time using the Kies software (samsung). Each time after rebooting, the wifi worked again for a while; but it systematically stopped working after few days (up to 1 week ).
5- I have tried:
- update/reinstallation software using Kies software: fail
- Root it: can't find the proper software to do it that is supported by my phone
- Use cyanogenmod: my device isn't supported.
- Use At&t website to update the software. not working
- getting my IMEI back: the process gets hairy.

I really appreciate what you guys do.

Help!
I recently installed a wireless pad into my Galaxy S4. All was working ok for a few days with the charging apart from the well known issue of the phone constantly beeping with the Wireless Charging Message.
Anyway I needed to root the phone to change the system file charging sound/ noise.
I used the Kingoapp root method, and since then the phone keeps randomly rebooting. It could happen at any time. I used the Kingoapp to unroot the device- but the rebooting still happens.
How can I stop the reboots? New kernel, new Rom? I don't seem to be running KNOX on the phone.
I would like to avoid completely reflashing the device because it will take a long time to get my data and apps and setup back onto the device.
Any advice would be most appreciated.

Hi mate ,
Once you root the phone you have to remove all knox from your phone , is a known issue
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2514703
Thanks for the response. Removing KNOX seems to have done the trick- it's been 2 days with no reboots.
I thought I'd be able to go back to exactly the same as pre-root. But I presume once you've rooted you trigger KNOX & you can't go back to exactly as you had the phone pre-root.
Anyway I presume a Android 5 build will be out soon for the GS4

You are in the wrong forums. Those are the S4 forums.
But regarding your problem, you might need to re-flash a stock ROM.

You're in the wrong thread, but anyways, try factory resetting through recovery, or flash your stock ROM and root using SuperSU.

Hi, I have a very bad problem and need some tips on how to fix the problem. If you successfully fix the problem for me I will pay you a reward of $20 via PayPal or Bitcoin.
I have a Rooted Samsung Galaxy S5 Verizon (SM-G900V) Running Android 4.4.4
Everything has been going fine and I have used my Galaxy S5 with no problems for around 6 months now, however I ran into an issue a week ago. My issue started after I tried changing my Mac Address (Spoofing it). I used PryFi:
● PryFi
*play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.pryfi&hl=en&referrer=utm_source%3Dgoogle%26utm_medium%3Dorganic%26utm_term%3Dpryfi&pcampaignid=APPU_1_ujKoVb-zO4Su-AGNiIC4AQ
I granted root access to the application via SuperSU. I also enabled the 'Mac Spoofing While Connected' option.
When I turned off the application my WiFi was fine for a while, I could turn the WiFi on and off, my problem didn't happen until I did a reboot when I rebooted I was unable to turn on WiFi ever again.
The application PryFi broke my entire WiFi, now I am able to only use the Internet with my data connection WiFi does not work at all.
I have tried a few things, however none have been successful yet.
I have did a factory reset and it still has not fixed my WiFi problem.
The WiFi will not turn on at all. It is stuck on Gray.
Bluetooth works fine, however WiFi does not.
If you're able to help me with this issue successfully I will reward you with $20 via PayPal, or Bitcoin.

Have you done a reflash? A factory reset just wipes /data, won't really fix anything...

Get TWRP.

Flash stock firmware via odin. Will fix the issue.

The wifi system is corrupted..
if u need to fix this you must get the whole rom(os)...download latest stock rom or any cusom rom and flash it via odin..or recovery..this will fix the wifi problem...always take a nandroid backup before doing any changes to system...even i had this issue on my redmi note 4g but its fixed by nandroid backup..coz i regularly take backup....i hopr this helps
HIT THANKS BUTTON IF ITs HELPED
I am really upset about myself for not taking a backup as stated. I will from now on take backups all the time before doing anything that could corrupt my phone from now on.
I still haven't tested this to see if it will fix my phone, I will test this within the next day or so.
I do have a question, right now I'm on vacation in the Outer Banks with no computer access at the moment. Is there a way to do what I require to fix the WiFi problem without a computer?

They dont have a computer to flash a recovery, furthermore, even if they did, or if they used flashfire or mobile odin(assuming they have root), you cant get a recovery on a G900V, attempting your instructions would certaintly brick the phone.

Ferragamo,
Verizon's S5 has a locked bootloader, meaning any attempt to load/flash/Odin anything besides the factory firmware will fail (and sometimes end up in tears).
It seems that a major cleanup and then reflashing the latest firmware should resolve the issue.
You can follow my directions bellow to get it done at home (takes about 30 minutes on a fast internet connection), but yes, you'd need your computer.
Or you can stop by BestBuy and have them flash a new firmware on your phone for you.
Step-by-step Directions:
1- Start by downloading the correct USB drivers for your phone, and install them (open the exe file as administrator on your PC):
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SM-G900VZKAVZW
2- Download and install Samsung Kies 3 software on your PC:
http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/
3- Back up your files from the phone using Kies or copy your files, photos, etc. to your PC
4- Time to clean the phone! Use the 3-button combo (hold volume up + home buttons and press the power button) to enter recovery.
7- use volume keys to scroll down to factory reset and press power to select it. Select Yes to wipe the phone. And repeat this step one or two more times for good measure.
8- hit reboot phone, once the phone's screen goes blank (phone vibrates), pull the battery. Don't let it boot.!
9- Load up Samsung kies on your PC, select Tools tab, and reinitialize firmware, answer the on screen questions to input your serial number from the sticker inside the phone.
10- Once ready to flash the new firmware, put the battery in and boot the phone to download mode (3- button combo hold volume down+home and press power)
11- connect the USB cable to PC and make sure Kies recognizes your phone, if not uninstall and reinstall the USB driver. Reboot PC etc...
FAQ's
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00043306/997388244/
Downloading the firmware will take a while depending on the connection speed. The file size is around 1.5-2GB.
Be patient and baby sit it until flashing is done.
Important: Do not break the cable connection, and prevent the computer from going to sleep or turning off during this process!
Happy flashing
Thanks everyone for trying to help me out. I'm still in the Outer Banks as of now (10:41pm EST). I won't be home until around Sunday, so if I'm not able to do this process without a computer it will have to wait until at least Sunday.
I have got a general picture on what I will have to do to resolve this problem. Hopefully when I get home I will be able to fix this situation.
Thank you Commodore for pointing out those nice tips and the guide. I noticed you mentioned I could take my phone to BestBuy, unfortunately in the Outer Banks they do not have a BestBuy as far as I can see. The only store I can find is a Walmart, so that probably will be of no use for me.
I would have gone to a public library to try and fix this issue, however this location has no library kind of dissatisfied a little, but if it did have one I would have took time out of my vacation to fix my phone.
If there is somehow a work around via the phone some how I would be willing to test it and hear it out, if the computer is my only option than so be it.
When I get home and fix this situation I will reward those who have helped and reached myself to restore access to the WiFi on my phone.
Thanks,
Ferragamo

how to fix
Hi. So a few days ago i accidentally left my phone outside and turned on the sprinklers. When i found it it was super wet. The power button wouldn't work and it would turn on and off for some reason so i went to ask my friend for help. I had insurance but i wanted to let him check it out to see if he could fix it. He said i had rooted my phone and the warranty is off and he doesn't know what to do. I had rooted my phone and then i updated my phone to lollipop, rooted it back and bricked it. It took me a while to unbrick it back. and then i asked for assistance from root experts and my phone rooted. I finally unrooted it a few months ago. my friend says theres this message on my software updates saying that it has been modified in an unauthorized way. Is there any way for me to not let mobile find out that its rooted so i can get a new phone with my insurance? Is my phone properly unrooted? I used odin and now i asked my dad and its still not working. Please help!
