I cannot enable wifi since I updated to 4.3 today. I've tried everything I know and wifi will not toggle on.
I am so frustrated!
I was rooted before the update and lost root afterwards FYI for anyone who has root using 4.2.2
Is anyone else experiencing this?
I did see a message saying something about it not finding something on my SD card but not sure if the message (that flashed briefly) had anything to do with this issue or not.
Restarting the phone doesn't help.
My S4 is useless to me without wifi.
I have done a factory data reset and wiped all data. Still having the same issue.

I know this doesn't help you, but it may help others.....
Don't EVER take an OTA while rooted. Jeez, I thought that was the cardinal rule when deciding to root ones phone.....

People just assume they will fine. This guy/girl, I'm sure wasn't that patient and flashed the zip. The main thread for the update shows that members have been having problems with WiFi while flashing the update zip on stock rooted.

I'm familiar with rooting somewhat and figured for sure I'd lose root. I didn't know about the wifi issues though. I'm really not a dumb butt (and I'm not suggesting that's what you're saying exactly), it's just that after searching and searching for a primary thread and not finding one on the issue, I went ahead and did the update being fine with potentially losing root temporarily till another root option came out.
I feel like a dumb butt because I still cannot find the thread that you're talking about. Maybe I'm just overwhelmed. I have no idea why but my continued searches are still turning out fruitless for finding any info on wifi troubles at all except for people in Germany on different carriers.
Will someone kindly point me in the right direction for the thread you're referring to and in the right direction as to how I can flash my phone back to stock/unrooted?
I was just excited to get this update and have never ran into issues like this before with updating OTA on other devices, except for losing root.
I really do appreciate any help and I'm sorry for having a putz moment.

If you already updated to mja update, you went to the path of no return; well for awhile. You can odin or anything or go back to other firmware. Its like apple's ios firmwares now. Being stuck when you upgrade and cant downgrade sucks really.

Please note that using the hotspot on 3G WILL stop when you receive/send a call. If you're on LTE, you should be able to use the hotspot and call people. This is NOT ROM specific.
I just got myself a Verizon Note 3. This is one power house of a phone. I noticed the kid I got it from does have it rooted. The only annoyance I see is allot of stuff is showing in the status bar with Chinese writing. is this normal or did he use some dumb way to root it? Also it still has 4.3 on it. I tried to update it but I get the message that "software update is currently unavailable". Is this because the Note is rooted?
I have done some searching and I did get the files for flashing it back to stock. Odin, .mkz, and the Samsung drivers. So if this update message is because it's rooted, I do have the stuff to flash it back to stock. I do also know how to use Odin as it's the same program for flashing the Note 1, which I did have. But any insight you guys can give me would be great. Thanks

Since you're on MJE 4.3 see this thread and go to post 2 NC2/MJE instructions...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2787627
Thanks for the info gamer but I'm not looking to root or flash roms. with this phone. At least not yet anyway. It's new to me so I really need to be as familiar with it as possible before I go flashing roms and tweaks and such. I'm not familiar with the names MJE, NC2, NC4 etc. so trying to explain that to me is just like speaking German to me right now. All I want to do for the here and now is get it back to stock un rooted 4.3, take the update to 4.4.2, and then check on the need for root then.
I also will need to look into what's safe to flash, what needs to be run, app wise, in order to flash some things. Take for instance my last phone, lg optimus g pro, you needed an app called freegee to get past the bootloader. If you screwed that up, you bricked yer phone. I'm sure some of the processes for this phone are similar in that respect. So no fiddling for me just yet. So in short, could you just tell me in simple terms if I have the correct stuff to flash it back to stock?
I currently have the latest Samsung drivers, Odin 3 V3.0.9, and the tar file named "ALL_N900VVRUBMJE_N900VVZWMJE_2106277_REV03_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5.7z"
Is this what is needed to flash it to stock 4.3? Also, if you don't mind, could you tell me if there is ANY way, a modem flash perhaps, to get my LTE working with this AT&T Straight Talk sim card? Currently I am getting H+ which isn't bad but it's no LTE. Thanks a bunch.
EDIT: Well, that was easy. My computer ran the Verizon software and it failed to update it so it did the repair and repaired it with kitkat. So one issue solved. Now If I can just get LTE working on here it would be great....lol

You can flash different modems in Odin but I don't know if they'll get you running on AT&T Straight Talk, someone else will have to chime in on that.
Att straight talk might work if you have the correct apn settings but you will not get 4g
Sent from my SM-N900V using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yeah I am finding this out Roger. I want to root and enable the hidden menu. I am seeing posts about doing this and getting the 4g LTE working. The problem is most of these posts pertain to the T-Mobile branded note 3.
I have a verizon edge model sm-g935v....build # g9325vvru4ap13.
I see everyone talking about the 935u firmware. Is an update for my "V" or is it firmware for another edge model (and i shouldn't be concerned about it)?
935v is the Verizon version and the 935u is the unlocked version.
935v comes with all the bloat ware from stock Verizon, while the 935u comes with no bloat but you might have to do some configurations (apn,mms,etc...) for it to work with Verizon.
Hope that helps ya.
Ps: installing 935u won't unlock your phone (sadly)

Many thanks! I see now....just one more question:
I now have:
model # - SM-G935V
Android verzion - 6.0.1
baseband version - G935VVRU4AP13
build # - MMB29M.G935VVRU4AP13
I've accepted the OTA update when I got my phone last week.
So i assume I need to use this root guide...Verizon Root Guide (Knox still good)Verizon Root Guide (Knox still good).....http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-s7-edge/how-to/verizon-root-knox-t3410624?
instead of using this one......
{GUIDE} Flashing the SM-935U firmware onto your Verizon S7 Edge and Rooting
http://forum.xda-developers.com/veri...1#post67674771
I can also flash the U firmware sometime in the future once i've rooted the V firmware?
you can flash either and root both. I have the same phone as you with same base band ect. I first tried the root method for the 935v and had bad battery issues so i switched and flashed the 935u and ran it stock for 3 weeks with no changes and had no issues loved the no Verizon crap, the phone ran nice. I just rooted the 935u today using stang5litre edition 5.0 ver2 and so far it is running smooth with no issues. testing out the battery life now. It is up to you what you want to flash. they both do the same thing as far as root. however I had lot of issues with the basic root 935v... I like the stang5litre v2 its all set up and don't have to tweak anything.... so far...
I would stay away from the "U" firmware until you familiarize with the terms and root.
And well in theory both of the guides are good to follow, since the only thing you are doing is flashing the eng-kernel.
Now before you go on, what's the purpose of you rooting?
Flashing another Rom?
Have stock, but modified Rom?

Also, is there a way to backup the app installs i've done while my phone is stock? then, once i get root/install rom, I can just restore them?

Sadly no Nandroid Backups but, once rooted you can use titanium backup for the backing then again for restoring once in the new rom.
Im using titanium for my backup and my google account has my apps as well if I have to go back to stock.

No real way to do a nandroid backup. You can backup all your partitions with FlashFire, but the problem is if you brick your phone you can't get to FlashFire to do a restore.

In theory the U version should be slightly more snappy since it comes without the bloat and therefore unnecessary running processes, but Android's baked-in OOM handling is fine and the bloat has minimal impact if any. I've seen some people say they've had less root-related problems with the U, but otherwise there's not much of a difference.

So you flashed the U firmware following the guide posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...de-flashing-sm-935u-firmware-verizon-t3415145
Then you flashes stang5litre and all was good for you?
I want to do the same to my phone once it comes in the mail I just want to be sure. I also plan on using it on Cricket so I hope that works too.

Yep, everything went good and installed on first try. I played around with colors and apps...the link issue I had I think was with the xda app. Other then that. The battery was almost stock. System ran nice with no lagging.

Thanks for the thread but I have G935U PL4 and it's not rooted. Thanks anyway appreciate it.
positive. im on g935u but still looking for xposed and twrp:cyclops:
Hey, I have figured out how to root the SM-G935U on the PL4 build but I haven't determined what is really affected doing it this way. As such I have been able to get xposed working (at least the modules I use).
Step 1: Go to Sammobile and download the PG9 update and get the CP file out of the zip file and flash that over via ODIN on the CP section not the AP/PDA section. This changes the baseband version to PG9 but leaves the build as PL4.
Step 2: Follow the quirky method of installing a root and xposed on this thread : https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039 . I deviated from that slightly and used the xposed installer 3.1.1 instead of the 3.0 alpha from that old thread.
I have been just tinkering with various settings and app version to get this to work this way and don't have the phone currently activated just so you are aware though.
Here are a few screenshots of what I have so far. http://imgur.com/a/lHssg http://imgur.com/CmCXoMU
I am on T-mobile and so far I do have internet access, texting, and calling working just fine with this. I will post updates as I come across anything.

Hey, sorry. I was on vacation. Well for the day that I used that phone on t mobile everything seemed to work just fine, no battery issues, random signal drops, or just weirdness but later through the day I started added some xposed framework modules and one of them soft bricked the phone so I have to do it all over and figure out which module isn't working with this method.

I have been working over 100 hours a week and haven't really had time to work on it to see what the issue is. I think the xposed framework for unlocking the microsd card was the issue causing a soft brick, but I haven't verified that yet. Prior to that though, I had no issues w/ lag, excessive data usage, poor battery life, etc.

For all those who are wondering, I have been running this root for a while now and haven't had any issues. While not on power saver mode my phone lasts the whole day with moderate use, root access is fully available, xposed framework fully works (at least for the 3 modules I use), and I have no issue connecting to T Mobiles LTE, HSPA+, HSPA, or 2g networks.

If my phone has been on for a few days and I haven't closed out of the background apps, sometimes it will slow down a bit, but force closing everything or restarting the phone fixes it.
