[Q] Unable to use WiFi/Data after going from NAE to NG2

After upgrading from NAE (did a full wipe before upgrading), I have lost the ability to use WiFi.
Since upgrading, I have tried full data wipes, flashing the tar file for NG2, also flashing the stock kernel, and modem. After going through the setup (without actually installing any software or setting anything up), I looked at my software version/baseband/etc.

I have tried flashing the tar two times, tried wiping via TWRP, tried installing other NG2 ROM's, and yet still unable to get WiFi or Data. Is there any way to fix this?

HELP - No PIT file

When using Odin 3.07 to flash chainfire recovery, received a message 'no pit file' and Odin stopped.
This appears after I have my i9505 back from Sammy Service Center. Is the bootloader lock by Sammy?

[Q] 5.0 Update Failure

Hey guys, so I used SuperSU to unroot (which may not have been necessary) and then used Odin to flash back to a stock ROM of 4.4.4. I keep trying to download and install the Lollipop update OTA, and although the download is successful, when I install the update it boots and starts to upgrade before displaying "Error!" and the Android on its back with the front flap open - it then restarts and the system tells me that the update failed.
I could really use some help with this issue, as I've flashed back to stock several times and the update just continues to fail. I'll include the information from the About section of my device. I did verify that there is no root as well, so could it be that I have the wrong stock ROM flashed? Any help would be great. Thanks!

Same issue here.

I too have this problem; however, I was a fool and simply attempted to update without unrooting or flashing first -- though I was coming from a stock ROM.
Have you tried a full wipe / factory reset? I'm hoping that will fix this...

I was able to get the first update to install however the second one fails everytime. Any idea's?

Same issue here. First update went through no problem, second update downloads, starts to update and fails after 15 seconds or so, reboots and gives the update failed message with a 402 error.
I did try a factory reset and full wipe and still the same issue.
The previous update a few months ago (I can't remember when exactly) I had the same issue and a factory reset worked then to get the update through.

I had this problem when trying to update from NI2 to NK2, although my solution for that was flashing a rooted NK2 rom. For this one you can either a. reroot and flash a rooted version via Safestrap and then Odin the OA8 firmware or b. flash a full stock NK2 tar through Odin and then take the OTA from that. Both of these methods don't require factory wipe (I think) so you shouldn't lose any data.
