Help My Wifi won't turn on for my Sprint Galaxy S4!

Hello XDA,
I would just like you all to know that I am a amateur when It comes to rooting. So I was following this XDA post to turn my CDMA Sprint Galaxy S4 into a GSM. Galaxy S4 I followed all the directions but Odin failed for some reason and my phone tried to reboot. When it did that this screen came up. At this point I was pretty sure it got bricked, So I tried to fix it by looking up my error online. I downloaded some sketchy files and used Odin on the phone after putting it into downloading mode.
After all this the phone got unbricked, but when I turned it on my wifi wouldn't turn on no matter what I tried. I even downloaded a WifiManager App and put it on my phone. Even the app couldn't turn the wifi on. At this point I was freaking out so I restarted my phone a couple times and finally I factory reset it. Nothing has fixed the Wifi issue please help me restore my phone to the way it was before I did any of this. like with Stock Firmware and basically Stock everything. Please try to give me clear and step by step instructions because I'm very new to rooting.
Thank you!

Go to Sammobile, look up your device and download the stock firmware, and you should be good.

Verizon samsung galaxy note 3 sm-900v please help

I have a veriozon samsung note 3 sm-n900v
today its bricked..please help
its showing secure fail : Recovery
and a caution symbol with "system software not authorized by verizon..........
Please help...it was running on lollipop

The symptom you described occurs when you flash an unsigned recovery image to the recovery partition (without unlocking the bootloader). Or possibly that the recovery partition got damaged somehow and thereafter you tried booting into recovery.
Are we talking about a pure stock phone or a previously rooted phone?
Assuming nothing else happened, your phone should boot normally so long as you can get it to stop attempting to boot the recovery.
Try this:
1) Pull battery. Wait 10 seconds. Make sure USB port is not plugged in to anything. Re-insert battery.
2) Restart phone with Vol-Down+Home+Power
3) Select "Cancel" when the warning about Download mode appears.
The above procedure clears the "BCB" - the Boot Communication Block, which is causing the phone to always attempt to boot the recovery rather than the normal boot.
If the above does not work, the put the phone in to Odin mode and flash a Stock ROM.
If your phone tries to boot, it is not "bricked"; not even close to that.

I'm in Togo (west Africa) i buy this model for my friend.the fone came with a patched rom(or modificate rom) so we don't see Verizon logo on the boot.a few day after buy the fone i try to root it so the fone brick. i flash with the odin (with the same file like for you).the fone work correctly but "showing that the sim is not from Verizon"(normal because you don't use Verizon network).
And "the wifi hotspot not working"but we can use Xender normaly.
So i think your cas is normal (the fone works now with the original rom not the patched rom ou modificate rom).
I tried to find the pactched rom who came with the fone but i don't find it.
For the root now i use Kingroot and it work.after root you can uninstall or desable some Verizon.
For the hostpot i don't find the methode to get it work.
PLEASE FORGIV ME FOR MY BAD ENGLISH.NORMALY I SPEAK FRENCH

thanks for your response sir
its not rooting anymore..tried kingoroot and root genious too

The only rooting tool for OB6 that has been widely discussed here (and used with some degree of success) is the Yemen rooting tool.
I can't help you "make your phone like it used to be" because you never even said what that previous condition was.
It sounds like you bought the phone from someone who had rooted it and patched it or installed a custom ROM, but that's just a guess.
If you can get it rooted there are instructions in this forum for installing TWRP; you just need to find them & read them.

Stuck on Verizon Screen after WiFi tethering attempt

I followed instructions to install Lollipop, keep root, and enable WiFi tethering. I successfully booted into deodexed Lollipop, then tried to flash the WiFi tethering. Now my phone gets stuck on the Verizon boot screen. Can anyone advise as to how to resolve?

Go to the thread linked in my sig and follow the "troubleshooting a bricked phone" steps. If that fails, you'll have to start over and re-flash your lollipop ROM. Make sure the wifi tethering file is the correct one for your version, and that it downloaded correctly by checking the md5.

[Fixed]No Wi-Fi, Data, Or Service after flashing stock firmware

I had planned on passing this phone onto my mother, so I tried going back to factory stock, after I did. I'm not getting any data, service, or Wi-Fi, I followed all the guides here and still cannot get it working. :/
EDIT: FIXED, I missed a crucial part of a guide I looked at. That's what I get for speeding right through it.
