I used Samsung GS3 Toolkit to root my phone and now my wifi wont turn on. I do believe I know what problem is and am wondering best way to fix. I could not find my build so I used 4.1.1 instead. Well I had just got OTA to finally work to install 4.1.2 before and thought I would try it anyway. Today I found the update for the toolkit and tried to flash it and still no wifi. I am probably not doing something right in procedure. Any ideas?

Ask in your forum. Or flash another rom.
Hello everyone,
I need a bit of help.My Note 3 got an update a few days ago. I had not updated the phone and yesterday i updated it to 4.4.2. I recently bought the phone from someone and im guessing that it was rooted before I got it. Not sure what the problem can be. After the update my phone does not pick up the network. It says not registered on network. What can I do to fix this? I have looked and looked on the internet on hos to fix this, but i am coming up with nothing. I dont have money to buy another phone.

The surest way to solve your problem is to:
#1: Go to http://SamMobile.com and download the official N900T
4.4.2 Kitkat NF1 firmware.
#2: Go into twrp or cwm recovery mode and do a full wipe which
includes wipe system, cache, dalvik, data and last but not least
do a factory reset.
#3: Odin flash the official stock firmware which you have downloaded.
Once you have done the above successfully you can root or re-root your
phone with cf-autoroot and then flash/install twrp or cwm recovery.
There are other ways to solve your network issue but this is the surest and easiest
and you will start out with fresh clean stock rooted firmware so you will be able to
flash any compatible custom roms which are available in this Tmobile forum.
Good luck!
hello

Before going any further, if I were you I would borrow a Tmobile N900T
activated sim card from a friend or relative for a few minutes and use it
for a test to see if your phone has the network with that sim card.
If it does, then either your sim card is faulty or not activated.
Good luck!
EDIT: ISSUE RESOLVED. THIS IS A HARDWARE PROBLEM. SEE POST #16
---------------------------------------------------
Hey folks, so my friend didn't wait for my flashing skills and flashed his g/f's phone on his own.
Phone was already on some very old version of SlimROM AOSP and an older TWRP of some version or other.
I emailed him TWRP 7.1.X zip and a 4.1.2 stock rooted ROM zip.
He flashed them both at the same time, without rebooting in between.
And got a boot loop.
I had him flash just the TWRP and reboot to recovery. Then flash the ROM zip.
Now his phone suddenly does not detect the SIM card any longer? It did before all this.
The IMEI is fine. And I tried my very old AT&T SIM card, but it didn't detect my SIM either.
I then ODIN'd back to stock 4.1.2 and had same problem.
So I then rooted and flashed a custom 4.1.2 that came with a custom kernel, and still had the same problem.
So then I ODIN'd back to a stock ICS and STILL have the same problem.
Any suggestions?

Which S2 model? This is the T-Mobile forum and you said ATT sim. ATT sim won't work in a TMobile phone without it being unlocked.

SGH-T989 is the phone. The Hercules. Her SIM is a T-Mobile "isis" micro SIM with the little adapter thing. She says it worked fine before the update.

When you tried a clean flash in Odin, did you/she wipe data, cache, and Dalvik before flashing stock?

And.... that's why the SIM card worked before the "update" to stock TouchWiz. LOL
Turns out the SIM card she was using is the newer "Isis" version and it's not compatible with the 4.1.2 TouchWiz. And since 4.1.2 is the newest TouchWiz available for the Hercules, I just flashed to the newest AOSP 4.4 and now SIM is recognized again. I guess the really old Slim AOSP ROM was still somehow newer than the 4.1.2.
Dang, it sucks that Samsung hasn't even given you guys 4.2 yet. Sheesh.
Thanks for the help though.

Glad you got it working again! Part of it is Samsung is now on the S5, and they want people to buy it so they don't update the S2. The other problem is TouchWiz is so inefficient that some if their phones with 1gb if ram can't run TouchWiz KitKat, even though KK is designed for 512 mb of RAM and up. That's why every Samsung phone or tablet I've ever owned has been rooted once it is out of warranty (about when they stop updating if you buy new.)
If I can help you with anything else, please reply to this post.
Have a good night!

UPDATE: BROKEN AGAIN
Well I just don't understand this one. The phone and SIM were working fine last night. I gave the phone back to the owner. This morning she brings it back to me because once again, the SIM is not working. She didn't do anything to the phone, so we're not sure what caused this.
And for the life of me, I can't get the SIM card to work again, after re-doing everything I did last night to fix it.
So I went to T-Mobile store and got her the old style SIM specifically for this phone model. And the phone doesn't see that SIM either. The T-Mobile guy was perplexed.
Especially so, because the phone recognizes my AT&T SIM and asks for an unlock code. It see's my Mom's AT&T SIM also. Asks for an unlock code.
So WTF. It see's AT&T SIM's but can't see any TMO SIM.
Most.Perplexing.
Already tried ODIN to stock and flashed AOSP 4.4. Nothing working.
Full wipes in between flashes.
IMEI is still showing up fine and TMO agent didn't find any locks on the IMEI in his system.

Nope. Tried ODIN to ICS and JB and neither see the SIM.
Gahh, just flashed the 4.4 wild kernel and a EMC6 (?) modem. Whatever the latest modem is.
No dice.

Yup, modem=radio.
I ODIN'd the older 4.0.X ROM found at SamMobile: T989UVLH1_T989TMBLH1_TMB
Then I ODIN'd root.
Then I flashed the older radio: sgh-t989_uvle1_radio
I followed the directions in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024514
This unlocked the phone for my AT&T SIM to use. And dammit, the phone see's my AT&T SIM and is making calls just fine.
BUT IT STILL REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANY T-MOBILE SIM.
WTF WTF WTF. LOL. :silly:
Okay, I got things figured out.
This is a HARDWARE issue.
If the AT&T SIM is inserted properly, it works fine.
If either T-Mobile SIM is inserted properly, it does not work.
If the T-Mobile micro SIM is inserted properly, then slid out 1/8", then it works.
I can't get the T-Mobile normal SIM to work in any position, but then it's bigger, so it's harder to get it to "slide around" in the slot they way I need it to.
Could you please send me the link or ICS stock rom file, all link I found already die.

I am not in a similar situation, I just bought an unlocked ATT Skyrocket using T-mobile SIM. And I hope to find a ROM supports ISIS/Softcard now. I think it would probably be a T-mobile stock ROM.
I ran through I727 and T989 forums, yet got a bit confused with all types of methods.
So, what's your latest suggested steps? Thanks,
I would post in the developer thread where I am having the problem but I don't have enough posts yet.
I'm attempting to install this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-unofficial-cyanogenmod-11-t2885259?nocache=1
onto my SGH-T989 t-mobile. I'm getting an error saying that my radio is not new enough and the ROM won't install. I then went to the Radio thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1895400
to try and download the latest radio listed there, being the UVMC6 for the t-mobile, which would not download. So I tried the Telus TLMC4, which I don't know if that is a problem with the t-mobile phone, and the ROM still said the radio is not new enough.
I'm am guessing that I should install a jelly bean ROM, like Lightspeed to get a newer radio. But is that correct? Do the new ROMs have radios or does that need to be done separately?
Turns out it was the clockworkmod version. Had to update it and that seems to be taking care of everything.
Though my wifi isn't working with any of the ROMs. I'm guessing I need to try the t-mobile RADIO instead. If I can find a copy of it.
I am almost in the same boat as you are.
I tried two 4.4.4 ROMS (CM11 and another one), but I received the same message about the radio. So I updated the radio to TLMC4 and the ROM install got passed the radio error. But then another error occurs, wich I do not understand.
Both 4.4.4 ROMS I tried got stock at the same spot on the install. So I ended up intalling 4.1.2 Ligthspeed. Works fine and is stable for now.
If you can give any input on how you successfully installed a 4.4.4 ROM, any help is appreciated!
I am with Koodo mobile by the way.
Thanks!

One week ago I got sprint model (sm-g920p) used for one week with 0 problems,i decided to update marsmhallow 6.0.1 PB6.
I wasnt getting any ota updates even ota update wasnt in settings anyway.. so i updated through odin.
Everything was ok except service connection, no service,no data,no calls nothing. Tried search manually and auto but no luck. tried gsm or lte or cdma didnt work either. Did factory reset and network reset but no luck.
It supposed to be baseband or imei problem right?
I've checked them but imei and baseband was ok.. but no carrier.
I decided to install another roms and kernels but none of them worked either.
I am out of US zone but my phone is unlocked.
Right now I downgraded to 5.1.1 (OJ7) through odin and everything is ok right now. ( carrier service,3g,4g,lte, everything works fine.)
I am so frustrated and need help, am i missing something here?

There are issues with the data connection on some phones that get 6.0.1 with specific radio files.
Mine worked just fine after ODIN though.
That said, I installed the Renegade ROM, and have no issues with radio. You have the option of 2 kernels as well with that file, so you can choose your poison.
