Various issues after rooting my S5 - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
after I spent too much time searching, trying and failing to find a solution I will post my problem here. Note that I am not too deep into tech stuff...
So I purchased an almost new used Galaxy S5 SM-G900F Qualcomm 4G (Telekom Version was installed).
I rooted it via CF-Auto-Root package Flash in ODIN and set Lineage OS as custom ROM using TWRP Recovery and installed gapps as well. Everything worked fine so far it seemed. I rootchecked it as well and everyhting seemed well... Till I noticed that my camera was not working at all (black screen) and the flashlight didnt work as well (both worked before root). I wiped everything from the phone via TWRP recovery and installed Lineage OS again. But that didnt help. It even got worse - wifi is not working too on top of that - no reaction when I touch the wifi symbol in the dropdown menu and neither in settings.
I even tried to reinstall a stock ROM but I face the same problems there: no Wifi, no camera, no flashlight.....
Maybe there is any help out there? Thank you in advance!

[Q] Issues with Bluetooth and WiFi

So here's my story of what's going on and hopefully a solution can come out of it.
Got my phone used it for a bit. I used the root and debloat found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2282367 and everything went fine. Waited a day or so and decided to flash LiquidSmooth ROM with KToonzes 7.2.13 . Again everything working fine. I then flashed 7.7.13 Ktoonzes and lost bluetooth functionality as far as the phone is concerned but the music portion is fine. My brother convinced me that the Google Edition ROM is where its at and I was having that bluetooth issue so why not. I flashed the AOSP Ktoonzes instead of the TW so my phone bricked. I did the ODIN back to stock with: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261573&highlight=odin . When that went through and my phone was doing its set up, my wifi wasn't turning on. I continued by using the root and debloat again to reinstall the recovery. I recovered my phone to right before I flashed the Google Edition, and my bluetooth is not even finding my car in pairing mode at all at this point.
Thanks for reading and thanks in advance for any recommendations to fix this issue.

[Q] Help. Please. Rooted s4 to custom ro

Hello,
I recently rooted my sgs4 gt-i9505 to the goolge edition using a YoTube tutorial on how to do so. Everything worked fine at the start but when I tried to install the PAC man rom, it jus stayed in the loading screen.
I restarted and tried rebooting but to no avail. I went back into the recovery mode and wiped the phone (divlac, cashes and system) then I reinstalled the google rom to find my wifi was not working. I tried the same process again, wipe- reinstall. Now I can't receive calls, the wifi doesn't work, home button only works on double tap, pull down status bar works but nothing in displayed.
My question is, does anyone have any ideas on how I would return my device to normal or know a full proof recovery and rom I can use that will correct these problems.
I am in the UK if that makes any difference.
Thanks for all and any help.

You could try to go back to stock and check if everything still works there.
Did you flash the correct modem/baseband for the ROM / your carrier? There is a thread in general for all the modems. Chances are with a KitKat ROM you need to update your modem. Read that thread and give it a go. The file is about 15mb and takes a minute to flash in Odin. Failing that go back to stock.
Nothing in status bar: that's what it looks like in stock, you can use 2 fingers for the quick settins. Installl WANAM XPOSED fromwork for more tweaks and options!!
Home button double tap: that's the way it works on the google edition, that's just it. BUT wanam xposed can change this with the Gravity Box module!! You could try the Echoe 2.2 kitkat rom it has xposed pre-installed.
Keep in mind things look blanker and less functional as you no longer have samsung touchwiz which adds a LOT of stuff to the stock experience!
One more thing: ALWAYS make a nandroid backup before flashing ANYTHING at all, you never know when you will need it. Backup the nandroid to your PC also just in case, things go missing/ get deleted! T

BLack screen after installing any rom

On my note3 (n900t), after I install any rom, which I've tried CM11, CM13, ResurrectionRemix v5.6.0 and 5.6.5, and the latest version for lollipop. Every time, it will install successfully via twrp, get to the welcome/language select screen, then the screen will go black, i.e. off. Pressing buttons or tapping the screen still turns the haptic motor, but does nothing, and the back/menu lights come on for a split second at a time, and sometimes spaz out turning on and off on their own.
these are the guides I followed, if it helps:
CM13: androiding.how/download-note-3-cm13-rom-marshmallow/
CM11: Just the wiki
RR: galaxynote3root.com/sm-n9005-galaxy-note-3-roms/resurrection-remix-rom-w-android-6-0-1-for-galaxy-note-3-marshmallow/The video in this one shows it working on a n900t, so it isnt a model compatibility thing
Is there something I've done wrong here? How can I fix this and install one of these?

Did you do all the wipes? On TWRP I always press advanced(I don't use factorey reset), then select everything but internal storage and SD, then I flash and it boots just fine.

Remember that rr marshmallow releases don't work for SM N900. I guess that your phone is sm N9005. Right?
If it is, is awkward that you can't flash a rr marshmallow ROM
You should be in the T-Mobile note 3 forum?

Hi, I've had the same issue on my Note 3 N9005. I thought it was a problem caused by Knox, so I opened the original bootloader and I deleted every Knox file; then I flashed it and it works. I tried this solution with the Resurrection Remix Rom v5.6.5, but when I updated to v5.6.7 it gave me the same problem. After a sleepless night I realized that, being the problem related to hardware components (the screen), and being impossible that such components were broken, I thought that the real problem was the kernel, so I tried to flash a compatible kernel with the Marshmallow 6 version of Android and it finally works. The kernel in question was the NetHunter one (Kali Linux), that I flashed even when I flashed the bootloader, without noticing.

G900I - 3 different custom ROM's all give 'Can't connect to the camera', stock works?

Hey everyone
Having a really weird problem here where I cant get the camera to work on my G900I kltedv Vodaphone AU S5.
So I had my first S5, rooted it, installed TWRP, wiped it, installed the latest CM12.1 nightly, and this worked perfectly. Encryption worked, camera worked. Awesome.
Bought the exact same phone the next day (G900I, kltedv VodaAU) and followed the exact same proccess. But for some reason, I went to launch the camera after everything was done and the camera gave me the error "Cant connec to the camera"
After not being able to fix it, I flashed the phone back to stock. The camera works fine on stock. I then proceeded to try 3 different roms (Vrtoxin, CM13 unofficial, Cm12.1 nightly) and all 3 give me the same camera error. I always wipe everything before and after install to make sure its clean.
Dont understand why the camera works fine on one phone but not this one? Really not sure what to do here or how to troubleshoot this but I REALLY need to fix this as I bought this phone for CM basically.
Please help me!

Wifi not turning on (i9505 - Stock rom)

Hi. After trying a couple of custom roms, I wanted to go back to a stock rom via Odin. I actually succeeded. The phone boots, and android setup screen comes. But in the "wifi connection" screen, when I touch the button to turn the wifi on, it just refuses to turn on. It goes back to off position. I have tried several different country's stock roms (4.4.2 only, I haven't tried 5.0) and they all ended up the same. I just can not turn wifi on in stock rom. Wifi works in custom roms that I installed using TWRP.
Any idea why this happens?
By the way, I also tried flashing different modems, but the result is the same. I read that turning off the phone and removing the battery helps, however, in my case, it didn't.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
EDIT: As I have looked into the issue, some people claim that a custom kernel usually solves wifi problems. I haven't tried it yet but I will as soon as I can get my hands on the phone. Also in another post, I have seen a build.prop tweak "ro.securestorage.support=false" which is claimed to have solved the wifi issues. I am writing these to be of help to others that might encounter the same problem. I will update the post after trying these ideas.
EDIT 2: It turns out, when you flash a stock rom, Odin can't actually flash the modem partition. It seems like it does but it actually fails. You have to do it twice.
No Wifi
Hi,
have some trouble with my Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505). Since 2 weeks I'm trying to get wifi working. 2 weeks ago I decided to root the phone (everything complete stock Android 5.0.1). At this moment wifi was working well..
I did:
- Flash TWRP with Odin
- Flash magisk 18.1
--> booted phone..
Everything seemed to work well..expect wifi. It wouldn't turn on. When trying to activate the WiFi button by sliding to the right it stays grey and after 10 sec. the slider goes to the right side again.
What I've done:
Downloaded several stock firmwares from sammobile --> no wifi
Flashed serveral custome rom's (lineage 14.1, 15.1), android 5.0 and 4.4 based --> no wifi
Tried differnt kernels --> no wifi
Flashed different bootloaders and modems--> no wifi.
Tried to delete files in /wifi folder suggested here in forum --> no wifi
Tried to modify buil.prob set the security value to false suggested here in forum --> no wifi
I don't think thats a damage on the hardware. It must be a software issue?
Bluetooth and mobile data are working well. GPS and wifi seem to be broken.
After spedning weeks of flashinng, recovering etc.. I am frustrated and don't know what to do.
Any advices?
My wifi is not being enabled with this rom. Does anyone know how to solve?
