[issue]WiFi Toggle Does not Work

I got my S4 these days. I have flashed XXUAME2 with Odin, rooted the phone, tried MIUI, but was not satisfied. So I restored the backup. Everything was working fina till I installed Adaway and rebooted the phone. Suddenly the wifi was not working anymore. I clicked on the wifi-witch to activate WiFi - no result. Then I rolled back the backup, installed the I9505_XXUEMJ5_MODEM, installed even the "fix". But the wifi still does not work.
Now I just want to have a normal S4 with the original rom, rooted - and working wifi.
What should I do?
Thanks a lot in advance! :highfive:

Hello mate please download this file and flash it via odin by selecting phone, and Remember to turn it off your phone manually before flashing any modem,If the problem still persist please tell me if your in old bootloader or the new bootloader and will be happy to assist you have a nice day.
To check your bootloader go to download mode and if you have an entry of Knox warranty void then you are having the new bootloader.
If you are having the old bootloader XXUB flash http://www.mediafire.com/download/48r0rgqv25s8968/GSM_Modem_XXUEMFK_and_LTE_Modem_XXUBMH1.rar file with odin by selecting phone.
If you are having the new bootloader XXUD flash http://www.mediafire.com/download/zriv6i5c01lqns6/GSM_Modem_XXUEMFK_and_LTE_Modem_XXUMFK.rar file with odin by selecting phone.

First, wow, thanks for that fast reply, dude! Ok, I have 0x1, that means, I have to flash the file for the new bootloader, right?
Is there anywhere a mirror? I am in China right now and mediafire is blocked.
Cheers :highfive:

Edit: if flashing a different kernel thats not work then I think the only way to fix this would be to flash a complete official stock firmware which you can get it from here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/ or if you want a pre-rooted you can follow the instruction here.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250824 have a nice day sir and merry christmas to you.

Cool, I saw your edit post. Thanks, dude.
What Firmware should I choose? The phone was bought in Germany from BASE. BASE is using the E-Plus network. But the phone is not branded nor carrier-locked. Should I choose the E-Plus Firmware?
Plus. How to install the Firmware? Just use Odin3 to flash it?

if you want a stock rom from samsung you can go from here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/ and if you want a pre-rooted rom you can go from here as well http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250824 Have a nice day.
Remember to follow any instruction before flashing. you have to flash the firmware via odin and select pda. And flash away. And sorry that i cannot assist you for now because ill be having a dinner with my family and hoping someone will help you to fix this problem if the problem still persist after flashing the stock firmware. Merry christmas to you n your family . And xda community

Ok, understood, thanks.:good:
I want to get a pre-rooted ROM. What version should I pick? I want to have Android 4.3 and (if possible) de-bloated. My Knox is 0x1 and I don't really care about Knox or Knox-related features.
The list here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250824 is very long and complicated. I read through it two times and am not sure what ROM to download.
Can anyone assist, please?
Merry Christmas everyone! :highfive:

Alright, I have installed this pre rooted version. Wifi works again, thanks.
One annoying issue: everytime I restart the phone, I have to activate Wifi again and re-enter the password.
Edit: Another very annoying issue: I believe that screen is not being dimmed correctly. It is always to dark, even in a very bright enviroment. Plus: the LEDs of both hardware keys are always on when the screen is on.
I just want to have the normal Samsung Stock rooted.
What am I doing wrong?

If you installed the pre-rooted rom and your having a problem do a factory reset bro phone settings> accounts > backup and reset >Factory reset . Or turnb off your device manually and wait a few sec hold power+volume up the same time and do it there as well, Make sure to use the odin 3.09 when your flashing ..ODIN has problems with flashing latest FW's and if WiFi doesn't work you MUST flash ROM again

No If you download the pre-rooted rom you need to flash it via odin , just like how you flash the stock rom have a nice day.
Edit: if you see a .tar inside of the file means you need to flash it via odin

Understood. Alright, since I don't want to lose all my apps and settings, I decided to flash the Wifi-Fix: XXUEMKE WiFi_FIX
I used Odin to flash this tar.
Unfortunately the Wifi has still the same issue like in the beggining.
Is there an option to flash the wifi fix in the recovery?

The question is, did u even extract the file you download ? And no you can only flash it via odin and select phone/cp
Sent from my Phone.

Hey, thanks for your help, mate!
Yap, I have extracted the file and flashed the *.tar via odin. Still no result.
Alright, to sum it up. The fix does not work for me. Why? Should I try to flash another Modem?
edit: I really want to have the phone working now. I dont care about other modifications, I just want to have the basic OS rooted. That is all. How to do this?

If i have this problem right now,the best thing i will do is either to flash pre-rooted rom or the stock rom if there is any Fc and such . Just turn of your phone the wait a few sec and hold power+volume up in order to reach recovery and do a wipe cache and a factory reset . Hehe
Edit:you already did flash the pre rooted that joku gave u right? Reflash it and follow the step above
Sent from my Phone.

Ok, thanks.
There are no FC at all, just the wifi is the problem.
However, I will flash I9505XXUAME2_MODEM, apply the fix and hope that it will work.
Should I flash modem with odin via "PDA" oder via "PHONE"?
Another question: If I download a pre-rooted ROM and flash it via the recovery, will the new modem be included in the ROM?
Thanks again, mate.
Edit: http://d-h.st/users/DjeMBeY/?fld_id=16262#files
There is no fix for the UAME2. That sucks.

Download odin 3.09 its better to use it with s4.
If your gonna flash the modem always use PHONE/CP. If your flashing pre-rooted rom from djembey or samsung stock firmware always use PDA. And if you download custom rom such as omega,phoenix,golden,etc.etc then you flash that via recovery using either CWM, philz or twrp.
Edit try emj5 wifi fix if not just do a fresh install

[Q] N9005 revert to stock rom

Cheers!
I recently flashed CyanogenMod 11 on my N9005. The thing is i'm not happy with it and i want to revert back to a stock rom. So what i was wondering is if i have to revert to the exact old version (4.3) or i could flash a stock KitKat firmware from SamMobile and how can i do that? I read a thread where a guy bricked his phone when trying with cwm cause he had some files missing. I know most users are sick of noobs like me asking this kind of questions but i would much appreciate if someone could help me out.
Thanks

Follow the instructions on the link, also there is a link on that page which takes you another page how to root N9005XXUENB7 which is the latest firmware for samsung galaxy note 3 SM-N9005. Please make sure you follow the instructions carefully and you have the right model international Note 3 SM-N9005,
http://nasirtech.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/n9005xxuenb7-android-442-kitkat.html
The above method is for bringing the phone to factory stock. If you just want to revert back to a samsung rom and your phone is rooted with custom recovery, which I presume it is, you can just flash a samsung rom of your choice there are plenty to choose from and every rom thread have instructions how to flash their rom
Hope this helps, all the best.

So, like yesterday, Odin fails on me. At the very end. When the green loading bar is full and it seems like it's going to succeed, the last line says failed. The phone has CWM 6.0.4.7 flashed and CF AutoRoot. Any ideeas?

ok that NB7 is failing on me as well for some reason, but in the mean time to get your phone back on line download NB4 (link below) and flash using odin 3.07, thats what I did and got no errors phone booted with no problems, if it takes too long to boot after flashing or goes in a boot loop enter recovery mode (home+power+vol up) and do data/factory reset and clear cache but that will wipe the internal storage, hope this will work

It's actually 32GB. I'm just after realizing. Would that be the reason why it's not working?

Soft bricked phone, no os, can't flash with odin

Summary: I tried to root my 4.4.2 S4 using an incompatible method by mistake. The phone now has no OS and I am having trouble flashing the stock firmware. When the phone powers on, I see "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
The following describes the state the phone was in before the problems occurred...
Model: SGH-I337
Model name: GALAXY S4
Country: USA (AT&T)
Version: Android 4.2.2
Product Code: ATT
PDA: I337UCUAMDL
CSC: I337ATTAMDL
MODEM: I337UCUAMDL
Drivers were properly installed. I had both the Samsung and ADB interface drivers properly installed.
The knitty gritty...
This all started when I attempted to root the phone using djrbliss Saferoot method. Due to there being so many versions of the S4, I misinterpreted the post by djrbliss. Apparently, this method is not compatible with 4.4.2. I attempted to run the .bat file for this method, it hung indefinitely and I killed it. I rebooted the phone and began experiencing issues with my data network. I assumed at this point that the modem had been messed up.
After my failure with Saferoot, I tried to flash back to stock and fix the modem using the files in this thread. I believe some of these files were written successfully, but not all of them because after I booted into Windows, drivers were automatically installed for MSM8960 (snapdragon processor), Samsung Mobile USB CDC Compsite device, Serial gadget driver, Samsung modem.
I tried flashing the I337UCUAMDL firmware but it wouldn't write either.
As a last desperate resort I tried to use Kies to restore the firmware but it wouldn't automatically detect the device so I tried to initiate it manually using the device serial number. The application stopped responding and then the phone had no OS at all.
I am desperately in need of help and will offer a reward (to be sent via paypal) to anyone that can help me.

1. I supose u want keep ur warranty.
2. Go to STOCK RECOVERY (button home + button up + Power button) (like 1st pic)
3. You will see some options there (Wipe all -> wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition)
4. Reboot ur phone in DOWNLOAD MODE
5. Open Odin 3.09
6. Flash the firmware u have again -> I337UCUAMDL (like in the 2nd pic attached)
7. Tell me how it works.

I traded for it locally so I could care less about the warranty. I think I may have broken the recovery image because I can't get it to boot into recovery, but I can get it to boot into download mode. Is there any other way to clear the cache?
Thanks for your help.

Ok so flash clockwork or teamwin right?

Show us your download mode screen or tell us what you read in upper left corner. Do you see anything like "warranty bit" or "konx" and a hex number like 0x0 or 0x1? If so, you won't be able to flash a 4.2.2 rom neither your factory rom, you should try newest rom.

Can someone link a ROM I can use? At this point I just want the modem working again. :/

This normally happens when the partitions on the embedded multi media card gets corrupted for whatever reason, also known as the emmc.
The phone can be revived by flashing a pit file to repartition the emmc in order so it can be written to.
1. Download this file and you will have a .pit file which you put in the tab marked PIT in Odin -> HERE
2. Next make sure > r partition, f /reset, and auto reboot are ticked in options in Odin.
3. Next put the STOCK ROM in the tab marked PDA/AP, hit start and start the flashing process.
4. When finished the phone should reboot and start up.

So here your problem... Maybe trying to root your device with a wrong file you flashed the new Knox bootloader (any 4.3 or 4.4.2), so your will never be able to flash a 4.2.2 room with old bootloader as you are trying to do. The question is if you flashed 4.3 bootloader or last 4.4.2 bootloader. To be sure try to flash last 4.4.2 rom (if you have 4.4.2 bootloader installed and you try older 4.3 you will also get an error). You can get last 4.4.2 rom for your i337 from www.sammobile.com

It could help if you post the name of the file you wrongly flashed to root. I assume you have att version i337 and not Canadian i337M version (is it right?) , so you will not find a Knox bootloader enabled rom (4.3 or 4.4) in sammobile. But as I see, if you successful flashed a i337M bootloader into your i337, you should be able to repeat it again with a full rom. Maybe you want search in the forum for the i337 and i337M ROM compatibility...
EDIT: Try first the last rom posted by joku1981 in the last post.

I have the US version. I'm not actually with AT&T. I'm with a 3rd party carrier called StraightTalk that simply uses AT&T sim cards and operates on the same network. I have not flashed any Canadian ROMS. The first ROM I tried to flash was a 4.3 ROM. I don't have the file anymore so I don't have the name, but I do know it was 4.3. My thinking at the time was that I didn't need to go all the way back to 4.2 to root the phone, but I obviously made an error in my judgement there. This is the thread I got the root method from that originally screwed up the device (and I'm assuming my APN).
Let me update you guys on the current situation... The phone is now working. Ever since I flashed the teamwin recovery image to the phone I was able to boot into the phone. I'm assuming that at some point I damaged the recovery image and the phone wouldn't boot without it.
I also found that my APN for straighttalk (3rd party carrier) was deleted so I reset that and now I can connect to the data network.
I still want to root the phone if it is possible!

Ty so much :highfive:. Better if u use this method: HERE. Your model is in the list "Tested and worked for". Its very easy process, i think u will have rooted in few minutes. Hi5

So you are now in a 4.2.2 rom with the 4.3 bootloader? Or you have 4.3 or 4.4.2 rom? I only know 2 root methods, phil recovery and cfautoroot (this doesn't change your recovery but just temporally), a bit cleaner, but in your situation i wouldn't like to advice you a root method. If you try one, try it on your own risk...

No, I'm still where I started (4.4.2). Odin was never able to successfully flash a different rom. It failed everytime. This phone is at 4.4.2 from a legit OTA update so I guess I'm stuck here. Now to root it with 4.4.2

[Q] S4 Soft Brick

Hey so one of my friends is having problems getting their S4 to boot. Currently she has K0T49H.L720VPUFNAE on her S4. She has no custom recovery, but did have the phone rooted. Now the device can't boot. It gets past the Samsung Galaxy S4 screen and then goes black, the blue notification light pulses, and the phone makes a beep (almost like the initial boot sound) and then just hangs there. I've tried to odin back to stock, but I receive "failed! (Auth) almost immediately after starting.
On the Samsung Galaxy S4 screen both "Kernel is not seandroid enforcing" & "Warranty bit: kernel" are displayed in the top corner.
I can boot into stock recovery & download mode.
Any help would be appreciated!

It sounds like you are trying to Odin an older version on there than NAE. You cant downgrade, only can flash the NAE tar or the newer NG2.
Download it here, and try flashing it instead. After you flash, if it still wont boot, boot into recovery mode and do a factory reset.

Okay, its really strange honestly. I spent sometime looking online for possible solutions, and the only thing I can come up with is:
1. make sure you are using the usb cable that came with the phone, and that it is undamaged
2. if its a desktop, make sure the usb cable is connected on the back. if you have usb 3.0 ports try it on there
3. some people say odin and kies dont get along. I do not share this experience, but who knows, doesnt hurt to try uninstalling kies, and install phone drivers
How did this happen by the way?

I'm using my S3 cable since her OEM one is broken. I tried around 4 different cables since I had the same thought. I never had kies installed and I did install the drivers.
I have really awful internet stability and speed (like 100kbs) so I'm hoping that the download is just corrupted and I'm just trying to re-download it.
I honestly don't know, she gave it to her brother to look at first, whom I suspect made the issue worse. I'm usually pretty good at fixing these things and I thought that it was an easy fix since it could reach download mode. I really appreciate all the help still.

have you tried flashing a pit file?
here is a 16 GB Sprint L720 NAE pit file you can try. do that with caution, and as a last resort.

I'm currently pursuing .tar to flashable .zip python converters, because it seems I cannot flash anything but one specific version of philz recovery in odin, but can flash anything through custom recovery.

To be honest TWRP is your better option for recovery on the S4 (I was a staunch supporter of Philz on my S3) one thing you need to make sure when you flash TWRP it to uncheck the auto reboot option. When flash completes, unplug and pull battery and then boot directly into recovery, then it sticks. You may be having WiFi/data issues because of your baseband/ROM combo. Have you tried flashing the latest stock?

Need Help Device stuck After flash?
I have the sprint sph l720t model. I finally acquired root access. I tried to flash Cyogenmod. When I did, it finished and rebooted and a after reboot it says cyogen mod in a circle that just keeps on spinning. I tried to get back to my blue team win screen into recovery but no luck. I got the phone to go into download mode once. I do have backups on my SD card with all the files can I flash a backup? What can I do?? The recovery says in red kernel is not se enforcing then under that in yellow set warranty bit: kernel? Can I use odin to do something in download mode to get my device back up?? I did refash my MD.5 file again from chainfire no luck! Help? Thanks

Yes I am now running Lollipop 5.0.1. I also did finally get TWRP installed. Everything is back to normaral. I re-installed the firmware from sam mobile. I then ofcoarse, went and flashed cf-autoroot with Odin. I pulled the batterry this time and booted up into recovery. Somehow everything is working and I do have recovery somewhere in my device. I want to try another Rom but Honestly TWRP makes me nervous evertime I open the app! What should I try next. Its just like factory rom with root but not really root. Its weird. At suggestios would be cool.. Thanks

You have a lot of options now that you are presumably on the latest baseband. Just download the ROM you want, copy it to your external SD card and flash in TWRP.
If you like TouchWiz I suggest Wicked X:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3115583
It's a fairly modified TW ROM, with quite a few mods that you can apply as you see fit. The developer is fantastic, quick to support and address issues. Every time he changes devices, I change to that device, he's that good. I've been stalking him since his time developing for the S2.
If TW isn't your thing, I suggest BlissPop:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=62018060
When I'm not running Wicked X I'm running BlissPop. The only caveat is I have not been able to get data to work properly on the latest builds, but the experimental build from 9/28 that I run is flawless. If you can't find it on their page, let me know I have it up on Mega.
Neither one is better than the other, it just a matter of preference. They both have great battery life, especially when paired with Greenify.

Samsung S4 SGH I337(Don't know the PDA it's running on) hangs on AT&T logo.

Dear All,
I have been reading many threads for a week before I decided to post a new thread here.
I am running in a big problem here with my S4 SGH-I337 which I have. I have never updated it with any version and it's hanging on it's ATT logo. I have tried all the factory and data reset options which I have come across on this forum, but the phone didn't come back to life.
Then I tried to flash it with Odin using I337UCUAMDB tar file(Since the phone is not working I couldn't find the PDA its running on), but it's failing saying FAIL! (Auth). Since I am doing it first time and I don't know much about flashing things, I am stuck out here. After doing some research I found that I should flash it with the PDA version matching to my phone but since my phone is not booting up I am not sure how can i find the PDA version for my phone. Even I have tried reaching to SAMSUNG's authorized center but they replied, as you are in INDIA and your phone was purchased when you were in USA, so we don't have that software to repair it. Please help me as I don't know what to do this phone now. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried to ODIN the MDL firmware instead of the MDB firmware? It might be on MDL if you never updated it. When you get it working my advice is DO NOT take any OTA firmware updates until you know what bootloader you're on. If it is MDL then NEVER update it because the MDL bootloader had a flaw in it that can be exploited by using Loki doki to allow you to boot custom ROM and recovery.

Thank You! so much StoneyJSG, Actually I have come across one post that says never update it on if you have MDB/MDL firmware, so I got scared and didn't try anything. As your advice let me try using MDL firmware, hopefully that should work if you are advising it. Just to confirm it once if I get successful then I would be able to update it with custom ROM as you mentioned.

Yeah try the MDL firmware in ODIN. Only the MDB and MDL firmware can use a custom ROM with loki doki. Don't flash any other firmware or else you won't be able to use loki doki and will be forced to use safe strap recovery instead of TWRP which can only boot custom Samsung ROM.

@StoneyJSG, Really appreciate your quick responses and the value of this forum. I had been gone in a complete frustration from past one week but now I am having hope to get the phone working. Trying to download I337UCUAMDL and flash it through ODIN ? Thank You! so much once again.

Does the phone say anything about Knox in the download screen where you see the model #?
The phone is definitely the sgh-i337 on the download screen?

Does the phone say anything about Knox in the download screen where you see the model #?
The phone is definitely the sgh-i337 on the download screen?

Nope, It does not say anything about Knox in the download screen. I see model number(SGH-I337) on the hardware underneath the battery.
Thank You!

The aboot.mbn file is not flashing because the bootloader in the phone is newer than the bootloader in the rom, the bootloader is not meant for the phone, or you need to use a different usb cable or usb port.

I think I have purchased this cell phone back in Sept 2013, that time I believe AT&T had the following versions:
Build Date: 27.04.2013 -> Region: ATT (AT&T) PDA: I337UCUAMDL Changelist: 453947 Android: 4.2.2
Build Date: 09.04.2013 -> Region: ATT (AT&T) PDA: I337UCUAMDB Changelist: 440216 Android: 4.2.2
I tried both of them using both the ports of my laptop with different USB Cables(Original cable from Sony, Samsung and Moto G), but every time I got the same Odin Fail (!Auth) error. I am not sure whats the wrong here or what should I do to resolve this error and get the phone working.
Thank You!

What version of android was on the phone when you bought it?
Do you see anything about warranty bit in download mode?

I think it was Android 4.2.2, this is what the download mode says:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I337
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
KNOX KERNAL LOCK: 0*0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0*0
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0*30
WRITE PROTECTION: Enable
eMMC BURST MODE enabled
Thank You!

The fact that you see "Knox" on the screen indicates this:
1) the phone has a locked bootloader;
2) you cannot flash any stock rom that is older than 4.3. If you try, Odin will not flash the aboot.mbn file which is an old bootloader; and
3) the phone must have been running at least a 4.3 or newer rom.

Ohh I understand this now. But knox says 0*0 bit still it means it has a locked bootloader ? I think may be it was running on 4.3 before it crashed, may be I had got some update on 4.2.2 and that made it got updated on 4.3 which I didn't re-collect. What should I do now, which ROM you would suggest me to flash it with. Really appreciate your help.
Thank You!

If the was never updated to 4.3 or newer, you would not see the word "Knox" in download mode.

It has lots of ROMS and instructions to follow, I am a novice user in this so got confused what to do and what not. Even I don't know my current baseband version so unable to choose firmware or method to flash it in order to get it working. Any help from your side on this front ?
Thank You!

My phone is in hanging state on boot loop won't be able to perform the steps mentioned on that link like : 1. Place the ROM onto your device (use either internal or ext-sdcard). etc... Any other suggestion please ?

You could downloading this file and flashing it with Odin: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358540571
I found the link by googling around. I can't try the file because I don't the i337, I only have the i337m.

Great! Thanks I am trying to download it, it will take time since my network is a bit slow, will let you know if that works, hopefully it should.
