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.

Try flashing just the latest modem. And then keep the phone off for a few minutes. (Uncheck autoreboot from odin while flashing modem)
In addition are the baseband version and imei number okay?

As the gentlemen said above, it will just be the modem. It seems like your friend has flashed a new rom, possibly 4.3 or 4.4.# and hasn't got the correct modem. Tell him to search on Sam Mobile for the correct modem for his device numbers and flash it via odin, again as stated above.
After all that, it should be fine!
the thing is, he doesnt know how to flash roms and this stuff, and he had the 4.2.2 stock, i flashed the 4.4.2 stock....but doesnt the rom contain a modem??

It does contain. But separately flashing modems and keeping the phone off just after the flash does magic at times.
Uncheck autoreboot while flashing via odin.
If you're flashing the recovery flashable modem, flash and then tun the phone off and pull the battery out.

ill check when i see him...thanks guys
Galaxy S4 - i337m - Android 4.3
Okay, so here's my problem.
Today in the morning after I woke up, I checked my phone and it said it had downloaded a software update. It was just a complimentary update for 4.3, it said bug fixing, etc. in details. I clicked accept and the installation started.
After this, all crap started to happen.
The Wi-Fi NEVER worked again, everytime I clicked the Wi-Fi widget in the notification bar, it turned green and immediately switched back to gray. It also didn't work when trying to turn Wi-FI on from the settings menu.
I tried everything, the battery pulling, the thing of disabling the Wi-Fi energy save, and nothing worked. It all pointed to a factory reset.
So I did all my backups (My S4 was rooted), and finally made the factory reset.
After this finished, I did all the starting configuration of the S4 (like when it was brand-new). Then, I tried to turn on Wi-Fi.
Surprise, surprise. DIDN'T WORK.
I'm so desperate right now, I don't know what to do.
I'm currently downloading 4.4.2 to flash it via Odin, and see if this works.
Any help, please?
Flashing the 4.4.2 ROM you're downloading now should definitely fix the problem. I know that in some instances, us I9505 owners have to flash a stock ROM twice through Odin before the modem will function. It sounds like your software update broke the modem in this fashion, which is why the ROM install you're planning should fix it. Be aware however that installing KitKat will give you Knox if you don't already have it.

If it says error it's 1 of three things
1 - using wrong kernel/kernel has wrong modules
2 - the file permission of the wifi folder & wpa file inside wifi are wrong - they should be rwx-rwx-rwx-rwx
3 - There is a hardware fault
If you have flashed stock rom via odin from my firmware thread (links in signature) then it's likely a hardware fault
Note you can flash standard 5360 so you may want to flash that instead of L firmware
Hi guys, I'm lost, i tried flash almost everything to my freshly bought board from aliexpress but I had only success with "N9005-hlte_PDA-XXUEND6_CSC-OXXEND2_MODEMS-XXUENC2_REPACK.tar.md5" and some others but after locking and unlocking display stays black ( buttons under screen lights up and system seems to work but no visual after unlock - after swipe to unlock. I cant flash any custom rom and only some 4.x official roms. And no, i don't know what firmware was originally on it (stupid me)....

Are you saying you bought a motherboard ??
If so the new motherboard defines the firmware not your old setup .
Yeah i got new, i didn't know there's so many variants of software for phone, my good old note 2 is almost unbrickable. Any suggestions how to get it alive ?
Ok guys, I got some progress, I successfully flashed 5.0 SM-N9005_1_20160121153514_7lzesanh3b_fac tgy coz i think this is hong kong board. Everything works but i have extremely low wifi signal even when I'm standing next to router, gsm networks mostly same bad signal and whats odd, I can see sim signal without sim in phone. Isn't it coz of bad modem ? How should i continue ? Thanks.
edit:
And i still cant flash any custom rom trough twrp, always stuck on writing system partition - sometimes with error 7 and sometimes just endless loop of writing system :/
Try Philz Recovery .
I tried philz - works but cant flash rom, stucked on system, cwm - same, twm - works only some older versions not the lastest one, only sometimes it boots to lastest and cmr - not working. After rooting using supersu zip had some random reboots for some time.
Hi,
To make everything clear i will start from the very begining. I bought my Galaxy S5 2 years ago. It was on android KitKat back then. Everything was stable and it was working like a charm. When android 5.0 Lollipop was available in OTA i let it update. Still everything was ok. And now, about 1 month ago when android 6.0 Marshmallow came out in OTA for my device i also didnt hesitate. Now i regret it as hell. On 6.0 my phone went from stable as a rock to restarting every 5 minutes. I thought maybe its battery fault so i changed it but unfortunately it didnt change much. I blamed 6.0 for all this thing so i decided to downgrade it to 5.0 Lollipop. I did it thanks to youtube tutorial by android doctor - Samsung Galaxy S5 Downgrade Android 6.0 G900F Marshmallow To 5.0 Lollipop ( i was using ODIN and i flashed XEO rom for my SM-G900F from sammobile website).
For like 3 weeks everything went back to normal but one day i couldnt turn WiFi on my phone (when i pressed the WiFi symbol nothing was changing, when in settings i tried to slide it to ON position it went back to OFF. I thought ok lets reboot the phone then. I did it but from that moment my phone is as useless as a brick. It turns on, shows Samsung Galaxy s5 logo and immediately restarts. I cant even enter recovery mode. I can enter download mode so i tied to flash another rom (6.0) but it didnt work. Phone was still restarting in the same moment. I even tried to install TWRP but cant enter it also.
I had my own small company but it went bankrupt and i have huge debts which i will be paying for next 10 years so i really dont have any money to spend. I live without the phone right now. My life is a misery. Can you guys please help me to unbrick my phone? I will be very grateful and you propably cant imagine how much it will cheer me up to have it working again.
Sorry for such a long post and useless informations about my life but i had to let it all out.
I'd try going back to stock kitkat with odin (install the firmware from sammobile)
im not sure if you can go back to kitkat via odin once youve gone to lollipop, nor am i sure why anyone would. Just get the OK4 tar.md5 from either sammobile.com (very slow servers) or from here (much faster) and flash it in odin. should be god to go. then you can root, flash twrp and youre ready to ROM
