Gps problem GTI9505 - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone. My rom is cm 13 but not defined on rom. my problem is actually interesting. i see in view 25~30 but in use 0 on gprs test. i tried clear a-gps , update agps but says clear agps request made. see this problem anyone without me ? thank you in advance.
My trieds..
1-Not working on stock rom. i tried
2-Clear gps or another gps apps i tried but its useless
3- i install modem &boot loader its useless

Hi there - same problem here.
Many solutions suggested points to pay attention to S4 body screws and attach them firm with a screwdriver.
In my case, it didn´t work.

My problem is not hardware problem. i tried everything but its not useless. my signal is good but gprs status & toolbox satellite in view 25 ~30 but unfortunately in use "0"

I had OMEGA´s ROM and since the begining, GPS worked like a charm.
All of sudden, it stopped and I tried all the hints and tutorials found on GOOGLE and here.
I just step back to Stock ROM again and...voilá! GPS working again, 100% functional.

really ? i going back old stock rom on twrp but doesnt working. your stock rom flashed on odin ?

I've had this same issue a while back, but solved it by reflashing original ROM and modem with ODIN (which from there I installed TWRP, Cyanogenmod, etc. to get back to business.....).
You should be able to find your original firmware here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-I9505/
-Goodluck

Thanks mare i know. Some people say if you came back to older android version like 6.0 to 4.4.4 or 5.0 your Phone is not working and always samsung icon bootnloop. This is true ?

No, I've never personally encountered that issue myself when I revert back to original firmware and recovery (via ODIN only).
The issue people do refer to is flashing lower than 4.4.2 due to the previously upgraded bootloader.
Just bare with me and do a nandroid backup, then try ODIN flashing your exact original firmware from the link I gave to you above (no lower than 4.4.2 of course).
It will load your original OS, recovery, and modem. If this fails, then we can better ascertain what exactly is the problem and easily progress from there.
Regards.

Ok. Thanks bro

Dont work i install stock rom via odin but still not working whyy???? İ am insane now. Still im view 20~25 stalite but in use 0. İ am going be crazy. Anyone help me ?

Then, I think its time to try to tight a light bit the screws of S4 body.
To be honest, I opened mine and there was a lot of dust & dirt there...certainly, not good for the contacts.
Start open from the botton, using a guitar pick and the entire part will be dettached.
Then, with the pick you can carefully start releasing the body (starting from the sides) and then, in the top left side, you will see GPS connection and antena in the part dettached. Try to clean it and then, firmly attach the screws again, specially this one.
I hope it works!

Dirty gps area possible it ? Because my phone signal is cool

WIFI Problem!

So, i just got my device yesterday, and been playing around with it. Everything seems perfect, except for the wifi connection that´s always dropping out. Specially when i´m in the market? Any solution to this problem? Could it be an hardware issue? Should i go and exchange the device?
its a firmware issue most of the times (some unlucky ones also had a hardware issue).
try installing b138 official rom or a custom one and it may gets fixed. if not you have to roll back to the stock one (you should learn how first) and take it back (or you can take it back now, your choice, i would probably take it back for a DOA replace).
also try it out on another modem if you can, i have also heard that some modems had problems with it.
read that also. http://android.modaco.com/topic/341011-ultimate-guide-to-the-huawei-u8800/
It still is with the stock rom in it. I didn´t wanted to root it or change anything until i was sure there was o problem with it. Do you think i should really turn it back to replace for a new one?
Thanks for the reply.
I suggest you try out the newest oxygen-release. The wifi is fully working for me, so it should work flawlessly with your u8800 too. if you still have connection problems, I just wrote this here.
You can revert to stock rom easily by installing the firmware provided by huawei. Do not worry about installing another rom, to me it looks like it is really impossible to brick this phone.

Problems going back to stock

Hi,
Was running CM11 on my GS4. I want to go completely back to stock however I'm hitting issues with it.
Downloaded the 02UK firmware file from Samware, flashed it in Odin, did a wipe before and after. Takes a while to boot in each time, sometimes needs a battery pull etc.
Now, I can load up fine - however no matter what I try, wifi won't turn on, a lot of the time signal will drop/ turn off when I lock the screen. Have tried flashing 4.2.2 as well, exactly the same and on the latest flash noticed as issue with the recovery, won't allow a data wipe/ partition in recovery, just flashes something red and then reboots.
I know this has probably been asked a milion times before. But hoping someone can help me get back to stock without the issues!
Thanks in advance.

Your having a signal issue because you need to flash a diffetent modem mate. And that should fix ur problem on signal issue . Do you mind booting into download mode and check if iy say the entry knox warranty void. Thanks
Sent from Hell ?
Currently 4.2.2 as I read the 4.3 update had caused some of these issues (although I want to be on stock 4.3.
I did notice after I posted that the baseband was for German phones (no idea how that got on there). So I flashed the a new modem and baseband is now at I9505XXUEMK8 which is supposed to be the correct one (if not please advise!?). However Wifi still not working. Tried the wifi fix file for the baseband, didn't work, also tried the root /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant rename fix. Didn't work.
Are you able to tell me which Stock Rom/ Modem etc to flash or anything else to try??
Thanks in advance!

Try to find the right Stock rom from here that base in your country mate and flash it via odin . Like i told you if you boot into download mode and check if there is knox void warranty? If you dont have that flash inly 4.2.2 stock rom but if you see that then feel free to flash a stock 4.3
Ok - So I have flashed the UK 4.3 BTU rom (Jss15J.I9505XXUEMKF) and have a baseband of I9505XXUEMK8 (which was the O2 one). Signal is fine no issues etc.
Still Wifi won't turn on though.
What do I need to do for this bit??
EDIT: As per your last post, I have no idea about Knox? I didn't see anything show up on download mode.
It also doesn't seem to be working now. The rom crashes when calls are received and wont dial etc. Ok - so should I go back and install the earliest 4.2.2 Rom version for 02 as the phone came with? Then update through OTA?

Well I told you if you dont have an Entry of Knox Warranty Void when you boot into download mode then flash the 4.2.2 Stock rom :S But you already flashed the 4.3 so you can no longer downgrade to 4.2.2 ... Can you please Dial *#1234# and write it down somewhere . and then Download this Wifi Fix and flash it Via odin and After reboot still did not work then Try to download and extract this file and Flash the .tar Via odin by selecting Phone/CP And if this file did not work after flashing then please feel free to play one of the wifi fix from Here Start's from MK9 until MKE might fix your issue.
Thanks for the help Repulsa. Will try that shortly and let you know the results!
EDIT - What about the Rom issues itself? I haven't had a chance to test everything, but I can't make calls. It calls the person but the screen freezes blank and then flickers. Should I reinstall the rom first or use another?

CSC I9505BTUEMK5
Tried everything from you earlier post except going through the final wifi fix versions. Nothing has worked so far though....
I'm in pretty much the boat.... I was using Omega ROM 4.3 but wanted to go back to Stock unrooted firmware.
I flashed Stock 4.3 (XXUEMKF to be precise - both Baseband and Build) using Odin 3.04
Now I cant turn wifi on
When I go into Download mode I dont have any KNOX lines and my Binary is Custom not stock!!!
Don't want to mess things up anymore than I already have by trying to flash everything under the sun!!!!
Back to using my faithful Note 2 for the time being then I guess!!!

[Q] I seem to have killed my WiFi - any suggestions would be appreciated

Hi there. Very sorry to post about this - I've tried my best to solve the issue on my own and doing various searches, here and elsewhere, but to no avail. Long and short of it is that WiFi and Bluetooth both seem to have died on me.
I have a Canadian Bell Samsung Galaxy S4 (SGH-I337M). I have been installing Danvdh's Google Edition ROM for some time now, and so far, it's been great. After installing 4.4.4 (clean, after a full wipe), it seemed to work, but my phone froze up - completely unresponsive, including the power switch. Pulled the battery but then afterwards could not turn on WiFi or BT - just says "Turning Wifi On" but nothing ever happens - the message just stays there perpetually. Bluetooth same thing, except the message goes away after a few seconds.
I've tried all of the following to try to restore WiFi, none of which has worked:
- Odin reflash of modem.bin and NON-HLOS.bin, multiple times (from the most recent stock ROM for my device - I337MVLUFNE1, 4.4.2)
- Complete reversion to stock (I337MVLUFNE1, 4.4.2) using Odin - neither WiFi nor BT worked under stock either
- Factory reset while in stock
- After rooting stock, using an SQL editor to check the value of wifi_display_on - it was 0 but just to make sure I set it to 0 again
- After rooting stock, deleting wpa_supplicant.conf in both /data/misc/wifi/ and /etc/wifi/
- Reinstalling Danvdh 4.4.4 (clean), but this time with the Googy kernel rather than the KT kernel (in both cases it was the customized version, not the pure Nexus one)
- Also tried, just for the heck of it, switching to ART to see if that might make a difference - it didn't
- Ringing a bell, opening a book and lighting a candle
In other words, I am at my wits' end. If anyone might have any suggestions - even just a link to some other possible solution I would be most grateful. I have tried searching, both in XDA and elsewhere, for a possible solution and have tried everything I've found, but so far, nothing has worked. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
Please note - I originally posted this in the thread for Danvdh's ROM. I didn't get any feedback there, so suspect I perhaps might be posting the question in the wrong place, so am trying here, in addition to the thread for Canadian S4s. I trust such cross-posting is OK (but if not please let me know).

To be honest, I have no idea if that could be related... on one of my I9300, directly after OTA, I lost the WiFi and BT. Problem was WiFi or/and BT, when I pressed to switch it on, was turning on, for maybe 0.5 sec, and then was turning itself off.
now the funny story: because I unrooted it and cleaned prior to OTA, it was immaculate, so I took it to Sammys hiTech local specialists.
They two times were returning phone to me, stating that they are unable to repeat the problem. So, I asked them to not send it back, and that I'll pick it from Service Centre. I used that opportunity, and asked another local master to show me how to use the WiFi on my 100% working phone. He itself packed it into same envelope and disappeard for half a time, after that itme I was informed that my phone will be sent to me after motherboard replacement.
now, the correlation: no (in theory) action which could affect hardware, obviously CAUSED damage. If I'd be you, I'd try to restore the clean condition, and I'd go to service centre.

Thanks very much - appreciate the suggestion, but the warranty on my phone ended last month, so I'd get hit for a bill for the repair.
You raise a good point - it may well be a simple hardware failure that happened, coincidentally, when I updated. Alas, I wouldn't know where to begin to try to figure out whether or not it is a hardware failure...
I have the same problem with WiFi (bluetooth works though) after upgrading to 4.4.2 today.
The only modification I had done before were CF-AutoRoot and TWR.
I unrooted from SuperSU's menu prior to upgrading to stock 4.4.2 with KIES, everything seemed to work, except now I can't turn on wifi.
Where can I get the modem.bin for a Canadian Bell Samsung Galaxy S4 (SGH-I337M)?
Thanks for any help!
Here's the about screen: (Shouldn't the Baseband version be the same as the build? What gives?)

I don't remember where I got mine but it was extracted from the latest stock rom. Googling the build led me to this page, which seems to have links to download the most recent stock for the S4.
Not sure about your other question. I know when I update a new custom rom, the baseband version doesn't change - that only changes when I update the modem or flash an updated stock rom using Odin. You might also want to try flashing the NON-HLOS.bin file - I read elsewhere that that has helped others. Of course, feel free to also try all the other options I've noted above.
In case it helps other people with the same problem, here's what I did that fixed the WiFi issue:
I flashed the latest modem.bin (twice) and NON-HLOS.bin, but it didn't fix the WiFi.
I flashed the latest stock ROM, and now WiFi works.
Cheers.

All I want is a reliable stock ROM :(

Hi all,
very new here and to flashing ROMs etc.
Anyway, bought a 2nd hand Note 3 a couple months ago. It had a custom ROM on it and I was experiencing issues with it.
I've since (after Google taught me), managed to get a close to stock ROM on it. But sadly Im still having problems, mainly WiFi and Bluetooth not working.
Can anyone please recommend a reliable, stock or close to stock ROM?
I dont need anything fancy...I just want to be able to use standard features (mainly WiFi).
Thanks all
I've been using the music of life note5 port 5.1.1 touchwiz rom for months and that's been fine for the most part. darkera13 released a s7 6.0.1 port like 2 days ago on the samsungvn forum, it's buggy but usable, but it's second version are sure to fix the little bugs it has (battery life is bad, can't access sd in pc, other bugs that don't affect me). There is one 6.0.1 s5 port here but I haven't tried it. If you really wanna try the latest touchwiz 6.0.1 rom, wait a few days/week or so for a more stable version, otherwise I'd try one of the 5.1.1 note5 ports in here.
Flash a stock rom from sammobile or samsung-updates via Odin .

Have tried installing a stock ROM from Samsung Updates but still no Wifi or Bluetooth. Starting to wonder if its a hardware problem. WiFi etc does work sometimes, but then goes off for days at a time.
Really frustrating.

Could be anything. Even hw fault... Could you be more specific about:
What custom rom you had?
Is there any chance you had deleted something from efs folder?
Can you activate wifi and doesn`t find networks or the toggle is grayed and can`t do anything?
For bluetooth, can you activate it and doesn`t find devices or the toggle is grayed and can`t do anything?
Try this from sammobile.
Thanks, Im downloading now and will test it out.
Im not 100% sure what ROM it was as I didnt install it.
I do remember something about CM12 ?
Cant activate Wifi or bluetooth at all. It will try and turn on for either but fail and then grey out temporarily.
Ive only installed a custom ROM and havent done anything with an efs folder.
Could you please check if yout imei is there:
In stock rom it is in about device -> Status
Do not post the numbers here just look if the numbers are there

Do a factory reset

Do again a factory reset (just to go sure)
Reboot and do the setup
Root it with cf auto-root
(If phone takes too long to boot remove Battery and start you phone)
When phone is booted Download triangle away
Launch it and reset status and counter
Than it will ask you to reboot or boot in download mode
Choose boot in download mode
Flash latest available lollipop for your country
Factory reset
And than you should not have any problems
(Do backup before it will wipe everything in your phone)

Check correct IMEI.
Check correct modem s.
Check CSC.
Try another kernel
Could well be that you have the wrong IMEI .
I would be restoring my backed up EFS folder first .

If you had a TWRP backup of your previous rom, you wouldn't have been in this predicament.
Try updating baseband version.
Your safest bet is to download Samsung firmwares from 4.2 - 4.4 and 5 & flash it via odin in consecutive order and check if your hardware works.
Or else it might be a faulty HW issue.
A twrp backup would not necessarily fix the issue if it was a hardware problem and it sounds like it is a hardware problem if flashing the latest stock rom does not resolve the issue.

I never made a back up as the phone came with a custom ROM that started playing up within days of getting the phone.

Yes, serial etc all match.
Just looking at the baseband and the build numbers. Should they match? As mine dont.
Baseband : N9005XXUGBOJ1
Build: LRX21V.N9005XXUGBOK6

No they should not match .
Modems/ baseband are often a different build .
Did wifi ever work properly? If not, it may not be worth fixing.
The easiest solution may be to find another phone that has a smashed screen nd swap motherboards.

Query for K30-W, No Sim issue

Hi Guys! I'd like to ask for some help and advise. I've scoured through the forums and couldn't find a solution that works. I'm helping a friend to fix his phone currently.
Phone: K30-W
Currently installed ROM: CynogenMod 12 (tested 11 too) with the same problems.
Phone was an imported phone, which had a lot of bloatware and various other issues that came with it. Bloatware was so severe that random adverts flash on the phone every couple of minutes of using it. Even after factory resetting, bloatware and junk was not removed, so i flashed his rom to Cynogenmod 11. The phone works fine with 1 caveat, modem/radio/simcard does not work. I made the mistake of not backing up his phone first, but i figured that the backups would likely come with his bloatware again anyway.
Tried re-flashing to Cynogenmod 12. Same issue persisted. I tried a solution from "http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help/how-to-root-lenovo-a6000similar-to-t3017828/page4" as well, but still same problem persisted. I've looked for stockroms to re-install, but have been unable to find one that I could install properly either. SP Flash tool with stock roms didn't have the scatter file in the download either for the SP Flash tool to work.
Currently, all other functions of the phone is fine except for the network. So I get no data, no calls. Phone is essentially a wifi phone for now.
Do any of you here know how I can solve this? I can provide further information as required.
Thank you very very much in advance.
Flash the stock rom and head to the service centre and act innocent. I think this is the safest option rather than doing things by yourself and putting it into more trouble.

Even after factory resetting, bloatware and junk was not removed, so i flashed his rom to Cynogenmod 11. The phone works fine with 1 caveat, modem/radio/simcard does not work. I made the mistake of not backing up his phone first, but i figured that the backups would likely come with his bloatware again anyway.
Tried re-flashing to Cynogenmod 12. Same issue persisted. I tried a solution from "http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help/how-to-root-lenovo-a6000similar-to-t3017828/page4" as well, but still same problem persisted. I've looked for stockroms to re-install, but have been unable to find one that I could install properly either. SP Flash tool with stock roms didn't have the scatter file in the download either for the SP Flash tool to work.
Currently, all other functions of the phone is fine except for the network. So I get no data, no calls. Phone is essentially a wifi phone for now.
Do any of you here know how I can solve this? I can provide further information as required.
Thank you very very much in advance.

Dial *#06# and check if you have IMEI or not. If you don't, then you can repair your IMEI using QFIL.
Thanks for the idea. Will look for the QFIL files and guide to try to get this one sorted. you're right. no IMEI.
