Wifi not working/Unroot - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Ok so today i noticed my wifi doesnt work anymore, it wont turn on... so i was wondering if there was anyway to go back to full stock so that the clerk at Telus wont notice it was rooted and stuff? i still have my 30 days with them i believe so, i dont think he looks at the system for root and flash anyway, can someone let me know? thanks!
Edit: i have tried flashing other roms, it wont work

Flash Stock, then get a little app called Triangle Away by Chainfire. If you go to the Dev forum there are multipe stickies to help you out.

Did you happen to change kernels at any time. Ktoonsez . It changes the wifi driver. Just reflash that kernel and all will be fine.

Before you go too far in reverting to full stock, try reflashing your kernel (or flash a new one, doesn't matter). Same thing happened to me today and this fixed it.

yeah i reflashed, but it wasnt ktoonez one though, im not too sure on how kernel flashing works tho >_< like you need aosp kernel for cm9/10 or wtv and blahblah so i dont want to go too far in that before im sure the hardware isnt the problem you know

Bootlooping

I need some serious help I have tried everything which means wiping cache, davlik, perform system reset and then tried to install this rom with the latest radio pack and tiamat 4.1 and my phone still keeps bootlooping right when I go to sign into the gmail, no matter what I try it will not work. I can't even get a logcat in adb, has anyone ever had this problem or knows what I can do to fix it
EDIT: I did have some help with putting on this stock RUU rom or whatever but I mean it still did it a couple times today, last night it was doing it every ten mins... but I would still like some help to get it to stop and so I can get back on CM 7.1
Try this
http://www.multiupload.com/RS_7QL6SAXKOD
Download the pc36img.zip and make sure that's what it says then put it on root of sdcard then go into bootloader then let it scan it will ask you if you want to update then hit yes and let it do its thing

ok ill post back after I try it
EDIT: Ok it updated and everything now I believe it is a stock RUU again can I wipe everything and go to CM 7.1 now? or should I give this a day and see if it bootloops anymore and then post back
EDIT: It has already boot looped 4 times now

nope I did not touch it I was waiting to here from you and see if it was safe to go to CM 7.1 obviously not
I even have tried to go do this RUU_SuperSonic_GB_Sprint_WWE_4.24.651.1_Radio_2.15.00.05.02_NV_2.15_release_199233_signed
and I just get a error 155 (saying its the wrong RUU) which it's clearly not
Sorry I'm stumped guess you have to unroot it and send it to sprint cuz its probably defective don't know what else to tell you
Sent From way down Bikini Bottom
That's a hardware issue. Had the same problem with mine, last year. Means an insurance replacement, since Sprint can't fix this instore. Bummer man. :-( Unles you're still under warranty, that is. In that case you could send it to HTC. Means being without for a week, but you get Your phone back. Instead of a refurbished one.

Help! Phone not bricked, but won't boot.

Ok wasn't sure if I should post this in Q&A or Dev... but since it's a question:
"Can anyone help with this?" ..
Here's the situation.
Sprint Galaxy S3.. using Blazer ROM 1.6
Team Epic Recovery (non-touch), don't recall exact version
Everything has been fine the last week or so.
I changed 2 things earlier today:
1) Using NFC Task Manager, I enabled "NFC during AirPlane mode" after which it asked me to reboot. I did not at that moment...
2) I modified build.prop to change the default alarm ringtone.
I also did not reboot as I was about to make some other changes...
Since I'm at work, I got sidetracked, but noticed something since the phone was on my desk face up. It suddenly rebooted on it's own.
No big deal, I had thought... except it never came back on.
And now.. It won't boot up at all. I cannot go into recovery either!!
I CAN go into download mode... so I did so and tried to reflash recovery.
Still unable to boot up or go into recovery..(Phone flashes the samsung logo , then disappears forever).
I'm attempting to download the stock ROM via the toolkit and see if that will fix things, but without recovery I'm pretty sure nothing is going to work.
Has anyone seen something like this before? Where it will go into download mode but NOT recovery?
Try flashing the stock tar in odin if nothing else works.

Just flash the stock tar ur downloading in Odin. Ur fine even if you managed to Bork recovery as long as u can still get into dl mode ur ok
I've haven't seen this problem on the Sprint variant yet but it definitly sounds like it's fixable
Like others have pointed out, since you can get into Download mode fine flash the Stock Odin tar file found here
When you boot up I would consider doing a data wipe (Factory Reset option in Settings>Back up and reset) but that's up to you
Yep.. that stock ROM fixed it... now to 're-root' and reapply my ROM... fun fun fun.
I'm thinking that the build.prop change must have caused it.. will be testing that over the weekend to be sure

So far all is working and I didn't even have to wipe the data (actually couldn't at first because I couldn't get into recovery hehe) , and I'm guessing the build prop must have been because I did it on the device, and 'maybe' I hit a stray key or something.. usually I edit at home and push it to the phone but I was in sort of a hurry.
WILL NEVER DO THAT AGAIN!
As I watched it attempt to boot up each time, I kept coming up with different excuses to try to tell the Sprint store

[Q] My phone randomly shuts itself off?

After trying a few custom ROMs, I've decided to revert back to the old stock ROM, and unroot because I still had my warranty left. So I downloaded the latest ROM available in the Stock ROMs thread, to be specific I8150DXLM3 Malaysia. :victory:
And after flashing via odin, at random times it would shut itself off, which is rather annoying. There was a phone call from a VIP and I couldn't answer it due to the sudden disappearance. HELP. Grr! I hate the stock ROM now. The only reason I used it I really like the Touchwiz. (Don't really care that much for the warranty) Is there any custom ROM that has Touchwiz that doesn't have all the Samsung bloatware?

Before going back to stock, go pristine using CWM 1st. Format data, system and everything you can see. Then reboot into download mode and flash Stock ROM back.
Odds are unless your phone breaks in hardware stage, the SSC will still know its been rooted before. But then in Malaysia they're all lazy asses so you'd wanna find the one that looks the laziest. **malaysian here

identical situation here in the philippines,,, regarding samsung care center,,,,
i guess,, they really dont have a way to detect whether yours is rooted or installed with a custom rom,,
i've sent my phone too,, because of a power issue,, as it wont turn on,, :crying:
before that,, ive installed cow bionic rom 2,,, then it shuts down itself,, and had no other means of powering it on,,,
so ive gambled myself in bringing it to them,,,
after a week,, they've said that its a board problem,, and needed to be replaced for free ,, since its under warranty,,, but had to be with them for at least a month,,,
after a month,, theyve returned it to me,,,,, and they even didnt detect that its rooted,, has cwm recovery,,, and installed with a custom rom,,,,

[Q] I think my S4 got bricked

Hi all,
from a big smile to sad face... that is how it's been for the past 24 hours
I rooted the phone then went to back up the stock rom after that wiped data, cache, dalvik then went on trying to instal Omega 4.0 and suddenly i got this message my external sd is unreadable. rebooted the phone and noticed that it takes me directly to the downloader screen. i tried to fix the phone by bringing it back to it's stock condition but no luck. I used Odin and so far it's the only thing the phone responds to but no luck with fixing it... I am trying to download the official stock fw hint this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2267895
but it stops and never finishes the whole amount of data... this seems the only way for me revive my phone back to life!
any suggestions what should I do now? it stopped showing the downloader screen now since I flashed the kernel drive for the S4 through Odin and now shows the black screen with the "Samsung Galaxy S4" writing.
by the way it keeps telling me that my phone isn't rooted but I did root it! am using twrp recovery.
I just got the phone from t-mobile 2 days ago and am debating on returning the phone back to them as the phone is still bootable to the recovery and that might revoke my warranty "i guess?"
Is it possible just to walk in to t-mobile store and swap the phone with another one since it didn't pass the 2 weeks returning window? I also got the phone insurance for it.
Please help, I sure need my phone back in working condition...
Omega 4 is for the octa core so thats why your phone bricked. If you can grt into download mode odin the stock files. If you can get into recovery try flashing a rom made for the phone. Dont freak out just read read read and youll be fine.

ayeeee ppl trying to reach me over the phone and they can't because of this stupid brick! well stupid me because I didn't know that Omega is for Octa core phone version... Yeah I can get it to download mode and recovery mode but is it possible just flash the stock file from the recovery instead of odin? I am waiting for that stock fw download to finish hint it's on hotfile and going in turtle speed!
your bricked, im pretty sure flashing stock wont help you (hasnt from my past experience) but doesnt hurt to give it a try.
i dont think will just give you another one, even though its in the two week window, because its your fault and not the result of hardware failure. the age old "oh i updated and not it wont turn on" probably wont wort because there are little to none reports of that happening. plus (and this is me assuming, correct me if im wrong) but when in download mode it probably shows custom status, which auto voids any warranty. but once again, doesnt hurt to try.
Unfortunately, from my past experience, your SOL
If the phone turns on and has download and recovery you are not bricked....only soft brick and the odin file should work. Just be patient and wait for it to finish

I just did the motochopper method and as I am reading now about the possibility of loosing your root access by future OTAs so am planning to flash that file that keeps your root safe even from future updates "SetUID Restriction" I will prolly keep my basic rom and wait for something better in future.

Well if you want to flash CyanogenMod, make sure its for the m919. I'm kinda lost though, did you still want all the features that Touchwiz has like air gesture, motions etc? Or you don't care for those?

am not really decided about that, does it really matter? all i care about is the blazing speed, low battery consumption and for sure the freedom of moving all the apps to the extSD ... I think all these new features are gimmick and it may take another generation for it to get the best of it. I picked S4 over the HTC one just because the 1080p feature and the funny thing is that I missed on there is no HDMI port on this phone! lol no biggie
tell me more about the touchwiz kernel, is it worth it? I don't see many CRs out there at the moment

Well right now I don't think CM is as stable compared to a TW ROM. FYI there are a lot or ROMS as of now. You have Wicked, Infamous, Darth Stalker, Deathstar. There is also faux and ktoonez kernal available for TW. As for the extsd, you will need to format the card to fat32 for the phone to read it properly.

Wifi Broke xperia s Was Fixed now Broke again

I am trying to get my WiFi working on .96 stock rom and optino to turn on is faded out., Tried resetting many times tried re installing software and moving everything on to stock rom kernel and firmware etc still does not work.

Also will these work on other roms?
Flashed to phone however didn't work still no wifi after flashing with recovery program. Is it meant to say android devices updating as i didn't see that happen this time

Where would I look at getting the original one that was gingerbread or first releases as ftf i have is .96 baseband
XperiaS_LT26i_6.2.B.1.96_1257-6919.ftf
Also took phone to shop and they even advised it is some software glitch bug hes had a few people with the same sort of problem and its sony that needs to fix it he was on about some part of the software when flashing is not being wiped out and re applied with new stuff and have to remove the files he even checked to see if the files where their and he said well its not that as plugged phone into a reader and shows the files being removed and re applied from new flash.
What other onces besides the XperiaS_LT26i_6.2.B.1.96_1257-6919.ftf I have is their ? might jsut get every single one of them starting from oldest to new n seeing if any work.

I know its not hardware related as I see my wifi option it comes on and goes out and fades away sometimes when hard resetting settings it will light up but then get stuck again, I been reading more about it and found it to be some bug within it and sony have yet to fix the bug that many devices have. tried reverting back to backed up firmware and kernel and no joy still

Tried going right back to jingerbread on this it turns on starts scanning and then says error. When using wifi tools I get the error wifi stuck and have looked at sonys database and seems many are reporting the same sort of bugs on the xperia s and other devices with stuck wifi and cant turn on not matter what is done or they have tried.
Well I look and looked and looked.
RESOLVED after 4 bloody days.
After a shocking discovery this actually worked. But think it might be some bug that is within Sky WiFi thats resolved the problem
1 went to https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bskyb.cloudwifi
Downloaded installed. Next logged into my account and shortly after I seen devices available to connect to but their cloud. Shortly after saving my settings phone locked up froze and restarted on me n rebooted and then noticed that my ? option was on for saying WiFi available clicked on it and wifi on powered phone down and back on and still on.

Did you format system before flashing a rom? when doing major update, this step is optional

Emm, i mean format system, it is under mount and storage in recovery. It shouldn't have any problem if you wipe the system before flashing

Will give it a go now and see if this resolves the problem by wiping everything on it then flashing
Still no joy on this. Looks like something is totally messed up in the software firmware or rom not doing as it is meant to.
