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.
I'm running stock 4.3 on the i9505 unlocked,
Knox is 0.1, so my wifi stops working if I switch the phone off or battery runs out,
Currently using the app "autostart no root" to block Knox at startup,
Wanted to know if there is any solution to fix the wifi issue without using the app,
Tried different modem and wifi fixes that went with them but non worked for me if I switch off and on,
restarts sometimes worked but other times didn't...
om22 said:
1. untick "Auto reboot" in odin
2. flash the stock rom again
3. reboot your phone to download mode again (by holding the power and vol down button for 10 sec)
4. flash the stock rom a second time with auto reboot ticked
This will fix your problem.

I have the same problem. I flashed a new Stock 4.3 today, and when the phone boots up I can not turn wifi on. I get a message about security and the process being blocked.
Tried to flash two time like above, but it will not work. How can I enable wifi again without installing av cusom rom?

Sorry no real fix,
You can root and block Knox completely this will give you wifi,
As I wanted it stock I drop it into a service center who have forwarded it to samsung now,
So long wait

Same here.. & did you flash a stock (unrooted) rom first before handing back to service center.. I thought if it was discovered to be 'rooted' they won't fix it as it voids the warrenty or something

Auto start app from the playstore works but some times doesn't,
Best way is too root and use titanium backup and freeze all Knox entries

but for 'freezing' you need the paid for version & without Wifi how am I suppose to get it off play store anyway. It cost's too much using GPRS on PAYG to download.
Would renaming the files (whatever they are called) & rebooting do something similar ??

If you do a rest does the wifi work on initial setup,
I have a unlocked phone and the German O2 rom would work with wifi,
But after a switch on and off wifi went

I assume you mean a hard reset ??
Didn't try at the time & I've ONLY just managed to get (most of) my apps restored - don't fancy resetting again to find out
I've sent email to Samsung support to see what they come up with..(They MUST know there's a problem with the firmware & they may come up with something)
If not, I might try flashing the ROM again through Odin (as mentioned in a post somewhere - apparently doing it a couple of times MIGHT fix it) - if not I MAY attempt a full Unroot

I faced this problem, when I updated my Knox 0x1 device with Kies (+ CF Autoroot and Triangle Away). After this, I was not able to turn wifi on. My solution was simple, I flashed my device with Odin, CF Autorooted and Triangle Away again, and no problems anymore. Wifi is working and everything else too.

My problem is that I am unable to even TURN IT ON. When I attempt - I get a silver shield pop up, & a 'Security notice' stating - 'your device's security has blocked an action that is not permitted. No further action is required' - App info tells me it 'Knox notification manager'
I've been emailing them..telling them KNOX is preventing me from turning on my WiFi - so far all they suggested is downloading KNOX, then Install & uninstall to fix this notification - but how can I if I don't have WiFi ?? - GPRS on PAYG is WAY too expensive Don't these people think ?!?!
Anyway just recently found out about this Knox 0x1 business & where to find it..(for the other newbies It's on the 'Download ' screen (Volume Down + Power + Home))
But I'm confused... On my phone there are 2 KNOX references
- Am I right in assuming you are referring to the 'KNOX Warrenty Void' being 0x1 & not the 'KNOX Kernel Lock' ??
Also (being a total Noob) I assume you download a suitable 4.3 STOCK rom (say for e.g. sammobiles) to use
Me - having a UK brand free Unlocked phone is currently downloading 'I9505XXUEMK8_I9505BTUEMK5_BTU.zip' from there based on this info I managed to find (Am I downloading the correct one ?? can some1 confirm this please - thanks ??)

& used this Unroot/Unbrick guide to revert back to a 'stock' rom (do you know if KNOX Warrenty changed from 0x1 to 0x0 when you did this ??)
Did your Wifi turn on ok after this ?? or only after you redid CFAutoRoot &/or Triangle away
I'm not to fussed 'going back to stock' JUST in case Samsung suggests I take my phone to one of their Service departments...I just want to get my WiFi to turn on
EDIT: FYI - I took the plunge & reflashed with the rom I mentioned above.. it didn't wipe my phone But the WiFi now works - I can turn it on and off.
I 'CFAutoRooted' & 'Triangle away' but NOT done any actual rooting (i.e host file editing etc) - so now I have a rooted phone...
Only thing is - If I try 'About device' > Software Update' > 'Update' to check - I get the usual 'This has been modified - no update available blah blah blah' message. I guess it's because of the 'About device' > 'Status'> 'Device Status' shows 'Custom'
Is this because my KNOX may still be '0x1' ??

Yes, it's because your Knox is 0x1. And AFAIK, there is no solution yet, to turn it back to 0x0. And I'm glad to hear, that you have your wifi back

Shame really - AFAIK as long as I have 'custom' (&/or Knox at 0x1) this mean Samsung can refuse the Warranty if I have to send it back at any time (which I hope will never happen :fingers-crossed

How did you flash the firmware ?
Was it through OTA, Keis or Odin ??
I had same problem when updating my firmware via Keis v2.6 (see my post above [First & Last paragraphs] or my original post for a more in-depth explanation)
I managed to fix it myself by re-flashing a STOCK rom (got from 'sammobile' - using Odin) OVER the existing firmware (i.e I didn't hard reset it first - when it finished the phone wasn't wiped either) but the WiFi could now be turned on/off...I then 'CFAutoroot' & 'Triangle away' afterwards - checking each stage to make sure WiFi could still turn on/off
So far 'tripp' & myself have had success in fixing the 'Unable to turn on WiFi' using this method.

Hi guys,
Sorry for the incoming wall of text but this issue im having is massive and after doing a buttload of research im still no closer to anything.
I have the international Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505). So everything started when my phone was running CM 10.2 then i did an OTA update to I believe it was 10.3. My phone would boot and the OS would start but I kept getting an error message saying some android system program wasnt working and basically made it unusable. So i decided to go back to CM10.2. After much trouble, I finally managed to get back to CM10.2 but I decided i was sick and tired with CM and wanted to go back to Samsung Stock firmware. This is where all the trouble began and its been a nightmare so far. I had TWRP 2.6.0.0 flashed too. I downloaded the TGY-I9505ZHUEMK2-20131122112513.zip file from samsung-updates and moved it onto my phone and wanted to install the .zip from TWRP. I kept getting an error message so I installed it through ODIN instead. Ok, so it worked from there and all was fine and dandy until I couldnt get the wifi to turn on, as in, it wouldnt even toggle on not that it wasnt connecting but that it physically wouldnt turn on. I figured I should do an OTA update incase it was a software problem. Alas, I got the error message saying that I cant because my phone was modified. Once again, I reinstalled the firmware through ODIN 1.85 and this time I didnt root it but i still got the same error message. I then used Triangle Away to try to reset the flash counter incase that would help. No matter how many times i did, the counter would always stay at 7. So after hours of research I stumbled upon an article about the infamous KNOX flag implemented in 4.3 and decided to see if I had triggered it. So I checked under download mode but I couldnt see anything relating to it but I did see 0x30. I forget what it was for. In the end I found this thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2444671 ) and downloaded the PIT file and the pre rooted firmware linked in that thread and installed them and all went smoothly. The WiFi still wont turn on but triangle away was able to reset the flash counter to 0 this time. Now when I attempt to turn on the WiFi i get a notification saying 'The device has detected an application attempting unpermitted actions and has stopped loading. To protect your device, it is recommended you reboot'. I tried rebooting but that didnt help. I tried removing the battery and putting it back but that didnt work either. I tried holding down on the notification and clearing cache and then closing the app but that didnt help. The application in question is called : SEandroid (version 1.0). When I scroll to the bottom of the permissions list I did see something interesting that could have something to do with this. One of the permissions was labeled Qualcomm WiFi p2p.

Hello everyone !
it's been a while that i take my solutions from this forum without participate (I'm not an expert)
i've search some solutions, but I can not find anything even on Google for my little problem ...
So I start :
Since last night my phone was offered the updatefor the 4.3 (from 4.2.2) I can not activate my Wifi, apparently it tries to connect 3x then nothing it disables itself.
I thought it was the announcement of the update who was messing so I did the update with Kies on a Mac (yes I am a player...) that crashed of course ! but the recovery mode (offered by Kies) still worked ....
The wifi is still stuck to my disappointment .
Looking on the forums, some talks about * # 0011 # (Service mode) in the wireless tab on the front line is :
State: DISCONNECTED
everything else is marked N / A and the last line is marked :
Power Save Mode
I have the same data when I turn on wifi during the activation time (which stops and returns dimmed after a time, no message appeared )
My S4 GT-I9505 is not Rooted

Hello everyone !
it's been a while that i take my solutions from this forum without participate (I'm not an expert)
i've search some solutions, but I can not find anything even on Google for my little problem ...
So I start :
Since last night my phone was offered the updatefor the 4.3 (from 4.2.2) I can not activate my Wifi, apparently it tries to connect 3x then nothing it disables itself.
I thought it was the announcement of the update who was messing so I did the update with Kies on a Mac (yes I am a player...) that crashed of course ! but the recovery mode (offered by Kies) still worked ....
The wifi is still stuck to my disappointment .
Looking on the forums, some talks about * # 0011 # (Service mode) in the wireless tab on the front line is :
State: DISCONNECTED
everything else is marked N / A and the last line is marked :
Power Save Mode
I have the same data when I turn on wifi during the activation time (which stops and returns dimmed after a time, no message appeared )
My S4 GT-I9505 is not Rooted
have you some solutions or tracks to offer me ? ? it bother me if that is the Wifi is down ......
Thank you for your answers !

hello again , would you mind do a factory reset on your phone ? Setting >accounts > backup/restore >reset and check if its gonna fix your problem? if doesnt work go here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/ and download the stock for your country and flash via odin. Have a nice day.

Thancks i'll take a look to this. I will search some informations about this file and tutos about the soft (Heimdall)
So i decided to upgrade my Note3 N9005 to Lollipop Android 5.0 .. and i got an official Rom form sammobile ( N9005XXUGBOB6_N9005XEOGBOA4_XEO) ... every thing was running perfectly till i successfully loaded the rom using odin ... the wifi toggle in the first setup was grayed out ,so i skipped all of those steps .. entered the settings and found that when i slide the wifi toggle on , it only turns to grey , and nothing happens at all
so i booted recovery and made a factory reset and deleted cache .. but nothing happened .. then i reflashed the Rom , yet nothing happened. and i tried almost every solution i found online .. i flashed modem files , got a custom kernel , i even flashed another lollipop version , but nothing happened , so i thought desperately that rolling back to kitkat 4.4.2 might get my problem solved , yet nothing happened ,, the wifi toggle never turns the wifi on .. so i thought that it might be a hardware error .. but the bluetooth is running smoothly on both lollipop and kitkat so obviously it is not a hardware error
i'd appreciate any help getting my wifi back alive please
Wifi chip got broken during flash. Go and change it.
