[Q] Bricked WIFI module?

Hard- and Software specifications:
Modelnumber: GT-P6800, bought in Austria
Android Version: 3.2
Baseband: P6800XXLA3
Kernel-Version: 2.6.36-P6800XXLA-CL614409 [email protected] #3 SMP PREEMPT Thu Jan 5
Buildnumber: HTJ85B.XXLA3 P6800XXLA3
History:
I successfully rooted my device with root_P6800_P6810.zip according to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21930246&postcount=7
In the following hours I installed, updated and used a couple of apps, among them LBE and Permissions Denied. I didn't do anything spectacular to the device IMO.
It's hard to remember, but I dare to day, that somehow Permissions Denied is involved in the "death" of the WIFI module, as it was one of the last actions on the device.
No matter how hard I try, it's no longer possible for me to receive any data over WLAN as well as GSM/3G.
It's however odd to see that the P6800 is still connected to my WLAN router and replies to PINGs.
Phone calls are still possible.
Measures I did so far:
At first I checked every possible setting that is associated with the device, WLAN and so on.
I did a factory reset through the corresponding phone code. No cure.
Having read numerous of threads and postings in XDA I successfully reverted back to P6800XXLA3_P6800OXALA3_ATO, most likely the firmware the P6800 came originally with, through Odin. But no cure for the WIFI module.
Strangely, I can still see an icon for "Superuser"(?)
I would be pleased if some kind soul could help me to get my device out of the state it is currently in.
Thanks.

You should try doing a factory reset (under settings->privacy). That's the reason that the Superuser app is still there, though it shouldn't work any more since you flashed a stock ROM. If it still doesn't work after that, you could try reflashing a stock ROM through Odin, but if your router is still seeing your tab, then it's probably not a hardware problem.

FULL wipe in CWM recovery, including System partition etc
Then immediately boot into download mode and flash your stock firmware.
Edit : if all good, root and reinstall CWM recovery again

[Q] SCH-R970

I have a USCC SCH-R970 Samsung Galaxy S4 running android 4.2.2
I used odin 3.07 and a file named "CF-Auto-Root-jflteusc-jflteusc-schr970.tar.md5" to root my phone.
It did work and is rooted..
But I notice now when I go to Settings>About device>Status>scroll to bottom of status window it says Device status is Custom.
Also when I go to Software update it says connecting to server... then its says "Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available.
I have tried doing a factory data reset and that didn't work.
After the factory data reset I did not root the device again before trying software update again..
I'm not sure why it won't let me perform updates.

If more info is needed let me know.
Really need help with this please and thank you.

use Odin to flash it to your device.
it will boot and be complete stock unrooted and you should be able to update....

Does complete stock mean bloatware and all that will be back on the phone?
Will my current applications and settings and stuff be erased?

[Q] s4 4.4.2 stock, will not allow install other mod!

Hello,
Being fet-up with samsungs useless bloatware now constantly asking for agreeing new legal and other, I wanted to go towards a rom that allows full control on what MY phone should or should not do or install!
I managed to root the s4 (not branded, orignal samsung so no sprint or At&T,...) tripping the stupid knox , but I do not realy care as I do not trust these solutions to be great, if some other samsung pushed solutions do not work either.
Nevertheless, I seem to be stuck not able to flash a new rom. I'm simply not getting in the recovery mode of CWM or something else.
I tried rom manager, which says : cwm flashed, I tried sgs4 Flasher, I tried ODIN troiugh computer. It all says "flashed, but when I want to get into the flash, I do not get the full menu, seems to be a standard Samsung flash rather then a mod flash recovery.
The name of the flash: KOT49H.I9505XXUFNA5, my mobile itselve has :
Model number: GT-I9505
Android version 4.4.2
baseband version: I9505xxugng8,
Kernel version: 3.4.0-2309103 from wednesday July 23,
Built number KOT49H.I9505XXUGNG8
SE FOR ANDROID STATUS: Enforcing SEPT-GT I9505_4.4.2_0019
Secure boot status: Type: Samsung
Security Software Version: MDF v1.0 Release 2
What I want: To be able to have another rom on it, so therefore I need to boot into CUSTOM recovery, what is not happening.
Can anybody help me? (might become a general problem for everybody later on so it might be interesting to know how to solve!

After a long day of trial and error, i finally manged to get it to work, by activating recovery from standard functioning within the clockworkmod APK program from google play store
Via the 3 buttons (volume up/down | power | and home, it never worked to get in the clockwork or other custom recovery.
Maybe samsung pushed within its latest update a blocage (i received around mid september 2014, probably an older update), a blockage with the buttons so that getting into an fresh installed recovery is kinda not possible and it keeps reinstalling the stock one over it......anyway, now it works...

Phone will not downgrade in Odin.

I want to downgrade back down to February security patch which was APB7 because I had to upgrade to the latest which is APK3 November patch. Reason was because Samsung pay framework didn't work with February patch and I'm really getting sick of that high android system percentage battery drain but when I put all the right files in Odin and start it, it fails and I get a message saying "sw rev check fail device: 2 binary 1" what am I supposed to do? Phone model is sm-g935w8 (Canada) rogers wireless.

Flashing Stock Firmware (G935AUCS4APK1) Help removing constant security notifications

I wanted to remove bloatware and also install Nougat early on my AT&T S7 Edge, so I flashed a modified AP file with Odin and also tried to root the phone. I ended up inundated with security notifications about unauthorized actions that require a restart to fix (restarting doesn't work).
EDIT: I looked back at the files and initially I used the G935F firmware files before resetting to factory settings.
I tried restoring the factory settings but that didn't fix the problem. All attempts to flash stock firmware with Odin has not been successful, and I have tried various versions. Samsung+ also lists the phone as being rooted, whereas root checking apps do not. I think it's related to having the wrong BL/AP/CL/CSC files and maybe BL being version 4. I have only been able to find firmware with "REV02" in the title and I suspect I need a "REV04."
I have noticed that there is a way to update to Nougat through ADP or SD card, but when I tried that option a message prompt informed me that updating from external storage was disabled. It seems like I hit a dead end no matter where I turn. I have been scouring the net and trying various solutions for the last few days and submitted this post as a last resort. Please help!
Here is information regarding the current software of my phone:

There's currently no pk1 at&t firmware available. There is pi2 firmware tho. The bootloaders are the same so you should be able to Odin with no problems. Here's a link to pi2 firmware.

So whats your end goal here? To flash stock akp1 and update to nougat? Or are you just trying to disable the security warning on your current set-up?
If you want to get rid of the security notice you have to disable security log agent in system/priv app, if your rooted just delete it, or another option is go into the security file folder and rename the apk and odex file with .bak, that will disable it, OR use EZ disabler and disable that package.
As for flashing back to stock, I noticed odin and ATT firmware don't get along so great. I usually flash U firmware when I'm in a jam, seems to be a lot less picky. I use either prince's odin or theres a version of 11.2 odin floating around that also has worked for me.
