Unless the hardware is broken you can always reflash the phone, even if 3 button download mode is not working.
Does the phone give you the option to search for networks? I had the problem you describe whenever I was going roaming and I would come off the flight safe mode. The phone would not connect to the network until I restarted it.

the 3 botton are working on my phone
i don't understand you what do you mean by "Does the phone give you the option to search for networks?" but the wifi work perfect on my phone

if you type *#06# does the imei show ok? if not it could be a corrupt nvdata.bin file. If you delete nvdata.bin and nvdata.md5 file it will reload them from the nvdata.bak files but do this only as a last resort.
Edit: Back them up first mind.

I'd just reflash if I were you, you can use it as an opportunity to load a newer firmware if you're not already using a new one, JPM is working great for me. I'd advise using Titanium to backup your contacts, accounts, wifi access points, launcher layout, etc, etc, first though. You should be able to restore the entire look and feel of your phone then, not to mention all the app data, etc.

This very same thing happened to me as well. This is because your IMEI is gone or is invalid.
Networks detects your IMEI so when you don't have one, they won't give you permission to their signal.
I didn't backed up my EFS folder before this happened.
Luckily, SGS Toolbox did make a back-up of my nvdata.bin when I checked for my product code before I screwed up my IMEI and I just replaced the corrupted EFS folder files with whatever SGS toolbox backed up to fix the issue (whew!)
I don't think you can fix this on your own unless you backed up your EFS folder before having this issue.
Try to follow the other user's suggestiong to delete the two files and reboot ]but ENSURE that you back up your EFS folder. I suggest creating 2 back up files. 1 in your PC and 1 in your phone's SD.
Note: Flashing will not solve this. Since ODIN does not touch your IMEI. If its' invalid, it will stay invalid regardless of how many flash you make.

Hold on, a Galaxy S must be within it's warranty period, it's a recent product. If you have a faulty product, it's Samsung's responsibility to honour their parts warranty. I would have gone mad if Samsung had asked me for $300 for something that is their responsibility. Call them again and request a repair under warranty.

Hello, I purchase a i5800 phone and the wifi worked fine on it for the first week. Now it says... "unable to scan". can some one tell me what that means... I turn the wifi on, scan for networks.. ( I have wireless here in my home .. in the middle of nowhere) and it will not scan for my home network.
I purchased the phone, unlocked for my At&t account. I have NO cell service in my area, but I want to access the downloades and etc for my phone at home..
any ideas..
I don't understand the "root" thing.. so please talk to me like I am lacking..
Yes I am in the USA... I have had the phone for 2 months and just figured out it is a UK phone. so I am doubly frustrated.

Try flashing u're device to some other working firmware ..
Tht might solve your problem

You could just flash the US firmware for the device, that should solve atleast any of the location-specific issues.

and "flashing it " means .... what??

you dont need to flash it!
I'll edit this post
here, from the thread "Wifi Not Working" (maybe you should have checked that out first:
stubborn_d0nkey said:
you have to be roooted:
delete or rename(i suggest an extension change with the date) bcm_supp.conf in /data/wifi/
I suggest using root explorer, terminal is also an option.
warning, you will lose saved wifi networks/passwords.
you can open the file to retrieve some passwords.
if you have a titanium backup of system data i think you could restore it with that, not sure about it.

Wifi and Bluetooth Dont Work

I picked up a Galaxy S4 Gt-i9505 from a friend to fix but I can not solve the problem. The problem is in Wifi and Bluetooth that stopped working .... I tried applying various custom ROMs and still did not work ... I've tried with Stock ROM with Odin and still did not work. Really do not know what to do, you're missing me swap the motherboard S4 now. But dont want to spend that much money. Some may say if there is any solution to solve this problem of Wifi and Bluetooh without replacing the motherboard

I think that there has to be a hardware problem when you've flashed that many ROM's and always went to factory reset.
I'd give it in for service (after having stock rom on it)

Hi mate ,
Not sure about the bluetooth but did you check this :
Open the built.prop
search for ro.securestorage.support
If it says true , change to false
Save and reboot
or
Turn off Wi-Fi power save mode on your S4
Type *#0011# on the phone dialer, then Menu Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi power save mode to Off.
In I9500 we had a similar problem and the only solution was to flash the param.bin file. BT did not work and WIFI direct did not work ( my case) after flashing it my problem was solve....

hi
Did you also re configure ( pair) the bt devices?
if so you could
Check the hardware ( antenna ) maybe is a connection lose or is defective
Or you could try to reflash (odin) stock rom again and see if it helps ...backup first included the efs

how i check hardware antena connection..???

extract the NON-HLOS.bin file from the ROM and use Odin to flash it separately by placing it in Phone or CP(newer version of Odin)
Untick auto reboot before flashing
wait for it to finish, then unplug your device and reboot manually.
that should work for you

[Q] Mobile network disconnects when the screen is off

Hello,
I've noticed something strange this past month. I was getting data disconnections and I could'nt figure out why. Each time I look at my phone, turning the screen on, mobile network (voice + data) is missing for a few seconds, and comes back.
Now I know that if I keep the screen on for a while (I tried more thant 1 hour), I don't loose the network, but if let the screen go to sleep I immediately loose the network (I don't receive whatsapp messages in background), and when I turn the screen on, it comes back.
Weirdly, when my phone could reach 4G, I had (almost) no disconnection. It only happens in a 3G, edge, or nodata zone.
I changed my carrier (I just moved from europe to New Zealand), and it doen't change the problem.
I'm using CM11-Nightly (sept) on a I9505. I tried installing an old nightly(from july), and it was really full of error messages, so I switched back to a recent nightly, but in the meantime I had no disconnection.
Thank you for your help

I don't know exactly where this option is, but it's for battery saving. You can choose that somewhere in your settings I think

I think that's true for Wi-Fi, but I never found it for network.
And now it seems that network won't come back if I don't go to airplane mode and back to normal mode.

I'm having the same problem, seems to mostly affect lollipop installs.
Did you find a solution?

No I didn't. It seems that somewhere in july 2014, CM11 included a new version of the modem. So every CM11 build after that and every CM12 build is affected (I don't know about other roms).
I read that it was the way the modem handled finding the best network method. With the previous modem (v5 ?) it tried to get LTE, 3G, etc... but now it fails when it fails to get the prefered network.
4 solutions:
- flash the modem (didn't try it, don't know how)
- You're supposed to be able to choose you're prefered network in the options and choose 2G/edge. Didn't work for me but I'm interested in your feedback.
- get an old version of CM11
- live with it (my current option :'( )
There is maybe another solution, I'm not an expert, just a desperate user.

Hey again, I did fix it for myself.
The modem is the problem (I flashed my modem, and my bootloader just to be re-up-to-date).
If you want to get lollipop for yourself you should do it, its not too hard
Its listed as Qustion 14 on this here page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2419762
I don't mind trying to give some pointers if you need help understanding how to do it, but I did this at 5am while sick so my memory of what I did is not 100%, never the less I would like to help if you need it.

Thank you for the advice (you came seeking for one, and ended up helping me ).
How did you choose which modem version to pick up ? the latest ? Do you have to do it after every CM upgrade ?
Edit:
I found the latest version from one of your links : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50965837#post50965837
Is the "Combined package - both modems in one flashable file." ok ?
And what does flashing the bootloader do ?

"What it does"... I am not 100%, I assume it initialize some part of the system, HW or kernel level, but I might be way off.
In any case I did use the dual modem pack to flash both "PHONE" and "PDA", another thread I asked in just replied to another user with the neccessity to flash the new bootloader aswell (dont know if the version numbers applies for you):
u must be using a 4.4.2 baseband and bootloader .. just a 4.4.2 baseband will not work .. once updated ur set

My question is on this page a bit down, and some replies a bit further down than that:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735248&page=116
Tip: I had to save the PIT to a file (did it twice to be sure) with heimdall before using odin to flash (couldn't get heimdall to work for that part), all because odin would not play nice inbetween loading the PIT from device and flashing, this might not be a problem for you at all so it's just an FYI.

I managed to flash the modem & the bootloader. So far, no disconnection, so I'm quite happy.

[help] wifi issue problem!!!

Is there any p8 lite users or just me have problem.. cant connect to wifi even my password is correct
"Denied access to network. Connection Failed"
help me or if there's anyone have same problem let's find solution bout this
thanks in advance :crying::crying::crying::crying:

up for this , thanks in advance for helping me dev's and modders

Same issue....need help

Sadly a common problem. Have read a lot of tips on how to fix, but none have worked for me (clear cache, factory reset...).
Will probably return the phone soon as it doesn't seems like WiFi will ever work properly.
Update:
Talked to Huawei Customer Support (in Sweden) and they suggested a factory reset and trying to connect to a different AP (to verify that there was no problem with the AP). Which I have already done, so next step was to return the phone. So I just did that and they (the store I bought in in) are going to send me a new one, that hopefully works. Fingers crossed.

For me there was a problem straight out of the box. So I tried updating, hoping it would be fixed but the problem persisted.
Saw no difference in before or after update.

- done flashing .. same problem still cant connect to wifi !!
someone said that the problem is the wifi chip ,, much better if i go to service center since no solution =.=
