Hi guys
I have run into little problem that I'm hoping learned members here can help me with.
I have a Note 3 SM-9005 that was running Kitkat 4.4.2 and I got it updated to 5.0 from a mobile repair guy. Everything looked smooth until I got home and noticed that now the WiFi does not work anymore. It always stays greyed out and never turns on.
I have tried turning on download booster, smartswitch, nothing helps. I have wiped cache, wipe data / factory reset but that's of no help.
Can you please help me get my WiFi working again.
Many thanks.
Cheers
Boot into download to confirm that the model # is sm-n9005. Is the phone running the latest bootloader and modem?

Should a reinstall be enough? Can you guide me which file should I flash in case the phone was flashed with a wrong firmware previously?
Wondering if following screenshots are of any help figuring out what's up with the firmware update mishap?
Screenshot showing latest firmware available from Phone Info app.
Try look at this at Sam mobile:
N9005DXUGBOK3
It's the usual update firmware of lollipop.

I can confirm the model is indeed SM9005 however I'm unsure about the other two things. Can you please point me to where I should be looking for that information?

That's the UK version isn't it? Should I just grab that file and use Odin to flash right?
Would it be compatible with my phone which has a UAE version installed currently?
Ok just checked. It looks to be the Phillipines/Singapore/Malaysia/Thailand version. With some of them branded. Not sure which one I should be picking up?
The stock ROM may be slightly different for each country but you can try the latest Singapore version.

Will it trip Knox? As I would be putting a SIN firmware on a XSI (UAE) handset?
Flashing a stock rom will not trip Knox.
Personally, unless there is warranty left on the phone, I wouldn't worry about tripping the Knox counter.

Thanks for your reply.
I have also just noticed that the WiFi hotspot (tethering) doesn't work either.
I downloaded the latest XSI (UAE) firmware and installed it using Odin. But the problem still persists.
Should I try downloading and installing a Singapore firmware?
Is there a possibility that this phone is actually a carrier branded phone and was later debranded and that's why it's having this problem?
Please help life is difficult without Wifi
Does Bluetooth work? It's possible that the phone has a defective wifi chip. I have two galaxy s4 phones that have dead wifi chips but everything else works.
You can try flashinga another country's firmware but not sure if that will help.
Do you have a backup of the efs folder?

Yes the bluetooth works.
The phone's WiFi was working fine before being updated to Lollipop.
No I got it updated from a phone repair guy before I got my hands dirty and put the new firmware my self. So no efs folder backup, unfortunately.
Hmm without knowing what the repair person did to the phone or how the update was performed, it's possible something went wrong during the flash process. Does the phone show the correct imei and MAC address?

He did it in front of me and from memory I can tell that he took a firmware file and used a software (probably Odin) to flash it in download mode.
The phone does show the correct IMEI as written under the battery spot and in device info does show a WiFi mac addresd however I'm unsure how to verify if that may be the correct one.
I have browsed Google and found few other people's posts on different forums who have this exact same problem. Someone suggested that I should reflash the firmware with bootloader checked using Odin.
Do you think it may be of help?
I have just discovered that the serial number on the back of the phone under battery is different from what is reported by the device.
Does this give any hint to what may be the issue?

Hi, I bought my Galaxy S4 9505 about a month ago, everything was great, I later decided to flash a custom ROM.
Something went wrong and i soft bricked my device, I was able to flash the stock ROM later and fix it.
however, I recently found out the after flashing the stock ROM, samsung KIES no longer recognizes my device.
I have installed the device's drivers, and KIES have identified it before I flashed it.
In addition, whenever I try to use samsung HUB, the app crashes immideatly giving an error message: "Mandatory Parameter Not Found (1101)"
Searching for the error, only one result came up where someone flashed his ROM using mobile odin, and it got fixed by reflashing with odin for windows.
Unfortunatly, this is not the case, I originally flashed it with windows odin, and even tried to flash it again, but still the same result.
If anyone can help me that would be great.
Thank you

I live in Israel and bought the phone in israel.
I looked in samfirmware (dot) com
and it seems like there isn't really an Israel firmware, it also says the one I have is of Ireland's
I can guarentee that I9505XXUAMDI was the firmware installed before and after the flashing

Aah i see, you probably don`t have the correct software from the country/region where the phone originated from. You have to find the country where the phone was initialy sold. Look here and typein your imei number http://sndeep.info/en.

Contacting the reseller about it will probably lead to voiding my warranty if I explain why I need to know, or refusing to answer if I don't explain why.
I can try to check out the firmware of some other S4 I9505 of people I know in Israel, hoping it will lead to something.
I still find it very hard to believe that even if the reseller told me where the phone was originally sold, it would turn out to be something different than Ireland.
I can guarentee that I9505XXUAMDI was the version I had before flashing, and I don't see how it could be unless it originated there.
OK, luckily, I still had a CWM recovery from before flashing the new firmware, i restored the backup, and now I know my CSC, my KIES work and samsung HUB as well.
However I now have CWM, and I wish to remove it, from what I know, only by flashing the stock firmware I will be able to remove CWM.
If I flash the firmware I thought was the correct one, I will return to the point where KIES isn't working for me again.
with this info:
PDA: I9505XXUAMDI
CSC: I9505TSIAMD8
which firmware should I flash?
Noob question ahead!
I have International Galaxy S4 i9505 and I’m currently on rooted stock rom “i9505vjuemj6″ (zto) brazil android 4.3. I can not update OTA because of “modified device issue” and also can not update via Kies it says “GT-i9505 does not support initialization”.
Can I download “I9505VJUEMKE_I9505DGTEMKE_DGT” venezuela android 4.3 and flash it using odin to fix everything above?
- If not, which latest stock ROM do you recommend to install?
- Any description for this? “GT-i9505 does not support initialization”.
For install updates for android 4.3 u only need Kies 3, no Kies. I recommend u install the updates only with Kies 3 or via OTA. Flashing other firmwares that dont marry with ur region code is create more problems :highfive:

Will do and get back to you as soon as i get another firware on, have also contacted Samsung and the'ry look into it too. but cheers if you can help. i'm just mucking around with other options as well at moment. i understand some forums say you cannot roll back the firmware from 4.4.2 to 4.2. I am having the screen rotation problem with the new 4.4.2 so i'm trying to find a way to roll back the FW and one way might be to install a custom rom with old bootloader that is also knox free via CWM install zip function to replace the new 4.4.2 bootloader with an old one. This may then allow me to roll back the firmware to an older version and kill my screen rotation problems.

Pretty sure once you root your phone you can no longer use OTA or Kies, as you now have custom status.
Having said that I've not used kies once since I bought my S4 on April 27th and I change firmware like crazy.
Just use Odin. 9 times out of 10 any problem you have can be fixed by reflash and factory reset.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Premium HD app
you can use on any modified phone
If Kies lets you initialise the firmware with model and serial no. to the base version for your region for that phone then it will overwrite anything. However in the I9505 case it will not even let you initialise the firmware. Have called Samsung and they confirm they know this is the case but it is not something they will do anything about.

Screen rotation a real prob, but all my sensors show pass via *#0*# sensor checks. Tried nordic i9505 I9505XXUFNB9_I9505NEEFNB2_I9505XXUFNB9_HOME.tar 4.4.2, then SIngapore I9505XXUFNBE_I9505OLBFNB3_I9505XXUFNBE_HOME.tar 4.4.2 all the fken same problem. Screen rotation all fine when I flash firmware, root, then flash CWM touch - everything good. Screen rotate works until the first reboot after all of this which might even be a day or 2 later. As soon as reboot phone, screen rotation dies and it is a huge pain in the arse. Sensors continue to say pass via *#0*#. Every few days i have to re-flash firmware, re-root, then re-CWM touch, no need to factory reset just those 3 steps.:crying::crying:and is why i'm trying to figure out whatever methods i can to roll back the firmware to an earlier version but no joy....

Hi
Could be for several resons....
Dial *#06# what you see?
Modem / bootloader incompatibility , try a different modem
failure to mount the efs folder . check here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/help/imei-baseband-unknown-t294284
I think it will apply also to TW
Bad EFS folder , for this you need an EFS back up , if not you may have to take to a local service center and have fix the imei number , you need a Z3X box or similar
Of course could be hardware , open phone if you know how , check the antenna cable , check the sim caddy

The sim card is fine, it works well in another phone.
I did see it flash the 4.2.2 modem during Odin when I successfully flashed it from 4.4.2. So maybe the modem is the problem. Where can I try other modems?

No I wasn't on Omega, I somehow managed to downgrade my 4.4.2 to 4.2.2 stock firmware and watched keenly what was going on when I noticed it flashed everything including the modem. My 4.4.2 TWRP backup only consisted of data,system and cache restore and I think that's where all the issues started. I've just seen right this very instance that it is XUGNF6 that before I saw this page update with your answer also confirming the same and it doesn't seem to be there in the listing of modems you posted. I have identified it in the stock firmware and am 23min from finishing the entire 1.6GB firmware which I started over an hour ago just incase it resorts to that. Man! this is nerve racking
The problem has been sorted but am getting alot of processandroid.media has stopped working. It is so persistent I cant use the phone but it now recognizes my simcard. What can I do to resolve this?
Update: I rebooted immediately and factory wiped/reset & cache and everything is now fine. The IMEI has been restored using the South African modem.
My goodness! All I was trying to do in the very first place was to install Prism barebones when all went haywire! I remember without a shadow of a doubt that I had not checked sd mem card in TWRP v2.8.0.1 when it cleared literally everything in the phone. For some reason my mem card that had the barebones.zip is now trashed and unusable. Had stock firmware 4.2.2 lying around and just for the sake of it I attempted to flash as I downloaded 4.4.2 as a last resort as I posted here for quicker help since this i9500 is my main communicator. Incidentally the 4.2.2 flashed successfully but trashing my IMEI in the process and my onscreen keyboard had started showing greenish artifacts as I type, reflashing it eliminated them but still my simcard was unrecognizable. Then I go through a nerve racking waiting period of like 5 hrs with my mind in limbo (couldn't even concentrate in the smallest things) just trying to download XUGNF6 modem S.A.
Now atleast I'm back on earth. One interesting thing after all this. My phone is described by all sections in it as official except the Knox warrant void : 1. I have a very strong feeling the hack is right infront of our noses we just haven't figured it out how to reset this counter to 0x0. The whole plan was to be on Prism by now but I just stepped back into stock world. Just as a precaution, I have just booted into TWRP and backed up EFS, cache and preload just incase limbo awaits me ones again in the future. Why is it such a hustle with most samsung devices?
Now before I even think of a custom rom, how I'm I going to protect my modem and other vital partitions from being flashed and ruining my android experience??????

Did your phone come branded, like Tmobile and Vodefons stuff?

Yea, it came locked in Vodafone, I unlocked it at a nearby GSM service. I'll take it there to see what the heck it's happening since I can't solve it myself. Thank you all for the support.
Try this...
Find the PIT file for branded phones (branded = carrier roms such as vodfona, etc)
Get SamFirm and download a branded 5.0.1 BOL3 rom, it'll download it in 4 tar.md5 files rather then one. Make sure it's a vodafone rom, it may be a csc issue.
Good luck...
Ok hopefully someone can help me out with teamviewer .. will gladly compensate for your time.
i got this note 3 which was blacklisted .
had someone help me repair imei
but while doing that he installed the original (?) OS from korea SKT telecom.
now its rebooting and baseband shows unknown. i have sent him messages but no response.
i am hoping to get it running nougat first (lineage or any variety ) will then try and get imei repaired again.
Can anyone with LOTS of experience in this stuff message and help me ?
Sorry if this post is off topic and need to be moved elsewhere.
Thanx all

Printed model is : SM-N9005
In about info phone model is : SM-N900S
The real model # can be found by putting the phone into download mode.

In that case SM-N900S
I recommend flashing the latest stock ROM for the sm-n900s with Odin.
The printed model # sm-n9005 is on the label under the battery?

https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-note3/SM-N900S/
and only one works on it ..which is the one on the phone right now and it keeps rebooting .. i would like any nougat installed on this now.
Thanx
If the label under the battery says sm-n9005 and download mode says sm-n900s, it appears that you have a "frankenphone" whereby the phone is put together with different parts from different models of the Note 3.
Is this the ROM you tried to flash: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-note3/SM-N900S/SKT/download/N900SKSU0GPI1/98062/ ?
Did you perform a factory reset after flashing the phone but before booting the phone for the first time?

I recommend flashing the latest ROM.

If everything works on a stock ROM, you try flashing TWRP using Odin. This will allow you to backup the existing ROM and flash a custom ROM.
