I recently flashed with Hard PSL and installed the latest Energy Rom. After installation I decided to go back to the stock TMo Rom. After going back my WIFI didnt work and also activesync on the phone didnt work. I then reinstalled Energy Rom and both functions were working. So again I put stock TMO ROm on and again the two functions were missing. Conclusion is my wifi and activesync only work with "cooked" roms now. Any suggestions?
Did wifi and activesync work before you flashed to another rom? If so run task 29 and flash you're stock rom.

Hi all,
Tried flashing a JB rom after running ICS for a month or so and sfter the update I wasn't able to connect to WPA2 WIFI, tried re-flashing the ROM several times, flashed Supernova ROM, even flashed a completely stock RUU, now I am unable to connect to WIFI, however WIFI worked perfectly on ICS and ROMs before that.
Does any one know to how fix this or am i in a work f*ucked?
Please someone save my day lol
I have a question for those of you out there with a Koodo s2x t989d. I rooted my phone soon after I got it to fix a non-working gps. I did this so that I could use ClockSync app to auto update time so gps could be accurate. It worked. I have since been trying dozens of custom roms, cyanogenmod, Aokp roms, ptmr's roms and all in both ICS and JB. Not one rom no matter how I installed it (trying different orders of wiping, installing radios, roms, and clearing cach/ factory reset.) can I get the Gps to work. Everything else always works great. It does work on stock rom after I fixed it, and I recently found it works great on Ptmrs koodo V5. Now im sure this is because it is a stock based rom, also based on my carrier. It is a great rom, but I really would like to try some of the others, specifically Cyanogenmod 9 or 10. I have also tryed APGS fix version 2 and 3 on most of the custom roms I have tried.
I guess my question is, is there any koodo t989d owners out there that have a proven method for my gps to work on a custom rom? Everything else works great, just not GPS on custom roms!!
Also, to the more knowledgeable with installing roms, is there any reason that Gps works great on only koodo stock based roms? I am fairly bright and could probably attempt most suggestions if there was any to try to fix this.
Thanks in advance!!
Much appreciated!!!

It's become my habit to flash this GPS fix (found here)every time I flash a ROM, similar to flashing the gapps or titanium backup after the first reboot.
Might be a placebo affect now, but I can honestly lock on to ~15 satellites in under half a minute whereas before it was impossible to lock onto 3. Try it.
Oh, and if you don't have the recovery or don't want to flash it, you can just open up and extract the zip file, and copy the gps.conf to root/system/etc/ over the old one.
worked!
Cant thank you enough! so simple but it worked! I was unable to flash so I just moved file to the system/etc/ and rebooted. It may be noted that I turned off my gps before I rebooted which is something I haven't done before. I only had to complete this process once, and now it seems gps has worked on 3 different Jb roms.
Thanks again!
Yesterday my gps wasnt working at all. It would not lock on no matter what I did. I was on a custom rom and I tried wiping my data/cache, reinstalling maps (just for giggles), and a multitude apps from the market that help deal with gps problems (gps fix, gps status, toolbox, etc).
When all this didn't work I decided to odin back to the last official JB update and still no gps. On a whim I decided to odin back to an ICS firmware and that made my gps work. I have no idea but it did. I then odin to UVDLJC, installed TWRP's most recent and restored my backup of the custom rom I was using in the first place and gps now worked.
While I'm happy as heck that my gps is now working and that it was not a hardware issue I'm extremely curious what happened.
I have flashed many roms lately and I cannot think what a custom rom can do to gps to hose it or if it was just one of those things. I would of thought that when I originally did an odin to UVDLJC that would fix the issue but that didn't. Whatever the flash to ICS did fixed it but what in the heck could that of been?
I figure if I can find out or get an idea what happened then I can steer away from flashing certain roms, or just be prepared that flashing any roms at all can make this happen again.
Same here.
Hello, ddcoh.
I am currently having the same issue you had with GPS not working. I've tried everything from trying tedious Play store apps to trying many different roms and kernels (clean installing every time) to completely reverting back to stock including using TriangleAway in case that did any help. Nothing worked. I have been thinking about going back to ICS to see if that worked but the last time I tried to downgrade from 4.1.1 to 4.0.4 I ended up soft bricking my phone even though I followed the steps word for word.
Can you tell how you went about downgrading to ICS and then back to JB, please? I use my GPS a lot and I would hate to find out it's a hardware issue.
Typically, it's been when people are going from 4.2 to 4.1.

Well I used odin to flash an T999_UVALEM which was a prerooted ICS rom. After booting it up I checked to see if GPS was working and it was.
I then used odin again to flash T999_UVDLJA which is a JB rom and booted it up also and saw that gps was working. Then I just restored a backup of a room I had been using and GPS still worked.
I've been out of town and noticed that after flashing a few roms that gps wasn't working so instead of doing all the above stuff I just flashed a cm10 rom. I believe I either used a cm10 nightly (or maybe 10.1, memory is hazy) or LiquidRom and that got the GPS working by just doing that. Not sure if that will work for you but you could always backup your setup using TWRP's latest and then flashing a cm10 rom and seeing if gps is working and if that fixes it then you could then just reboot and restore the rom you are currently on and that might fix your gps for you.

I am trying to find a fully functional rom. I have tried numerous roms and run into 2 or 3 of the same problems. What I need is working ? . Working Wifi. Working Camera. And working GPS. Most of the roms have given me a problem with the camera. For instance, I take a picture in a dark place and when the flash goes off I get a black screen and there is no display I am forced to pull battery as the phone will not reboot after. I have not had wifi or bluetooth problems in a long time so I can not comment on that. I recently tried Liquid Smooth's 4.4 rom and the camera works, however GPS will not work unless connected to WIFI which does me no good if it won't navigate. Has anyone found a rom out there that is fully functional? I do not have service on my device, which is d2spr by the way, so mobile data and 4g are not needed. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.
If you want fully functional with no additional stuff except what you want, just use stock odex, latest firmware is NJ2, If stock untouched is giving you problems then you may have a messed up internal memory or something.

Phone is Completely Screwed
So i flashed a MK5 Modem on my L710t due to the fact that my wifi and data were not working ... I though it would fix this ... before that on some roms, the wifi would work, but the data didn't ... and vice versa with other roms ... Carbon and LiquidSmooth to be specific. I can't seem to fix it .. so i tried Unrooting back to all stock everything ... and no matter what tar file i use i get a FAIL in Odin ... i tried three tar files and even tried the 1-click.exe. got an EPIC FAIL ... i tried flashing a stock MK5 deodexed rom because i had flashed a MK5 modem and the damned rom wouldn't boot ... I really just want to revert to a stock Virgin Mobile Samsung Galaxy S III with 4.4.2 and an N8 Modem or whatever modem it came out of the box with ... CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME ...
please and thanks
Thanks. It was a pain in the butt to get it installed as I had to update to ND8 but I think this is is quite functional and what I was hoping for will see in a few days how the system reacts but so far the camera works and i am bout to test gps. So thank you for recommending the Wicked S5.
I'm having a lot of trouble with my S2 right now. I've been running CM10 since I got it with no trouble at all. I updated to 11 when it came out, again with no problems. Basically what happened is I flashed the stock ROM so I could use the video camera, then just restored back to CM through recovery when I was done. I did that two or three times, then suddenly I have no mobile data on any custom ROM, OR on the stock ROM I made a backup for. Voice and text works fine, just no data, either 3G or 4G.
I eventually un-rooted and went completely back to stock, and that got data working. I rooted and got recovery installed, and everything's still working fine. But, no matter if I try to install Cyanogen fresh, or try to restore a backup, I don't get mobile data. If I restore a backup of the last stock ROM, data works fine. From inside the stock rom, I did a master reset and updated PRL and profile.
Does anyone have a clue as to what I'm doing wrong?
Okay, I noticed that my MEID and some other parameters were 'unknown', which according to Google can mean a bad modem. So I flashed a new one, and all is well.
