If you have OXX csc in your firmware (most of central-eastern Europe does; you can check by typing *#1234# and looking at the CSC - I8160OXXxxx), feel free to flash it on top with Odin, it will not wipe your data.

Um well, thanks for the reply, but i might have considered that particular method if i wasnt schooling right now. Besides, i dont fancy installing a linux distro on my laptop anytime soon. So.. Any other less time consuming or simpler ways to go about it?

Hey, I am not 100% sure but I think that it would change your CSC, meaning you would no longer have Samsung Kies support. I think that is about it, BUT I may be wrong. Perhaps if you post in kyrillos13's guide, he might be able to help, or at least give his opinion! Good luck!
First, if you are rooted now, grab your CSC files. If you have Cygwin this would have been easier..
Then you can flash prerooted firmware using Odin. (Just download the ones on the thread, its lost in the pages)
Then, after flashing, if you want to flash a deodexed ROM, place the CSc files inside the ROM's zip. And you won't lose your CSC.
But im not rooted yet.... ;(
GT-I8160 DXMA1 XSP prerooted
After download extract files then open Odin and select system_rooted.tar.md5 as PDA, and csc.tar as csc.
Check: Auto reboot and F. Reset Time.
Now hit Start..

Hi guys I am still struggling with this lingering problem of dead wifi on my GT N7100
Before you jump into giving me suggestions, let me summarize what I have done thus far.
My daily driver was @wesamothman hybrid 4.3 custom ROM and everything was almost prefect for weeks then I upgraded to @dr.ketan full 4.3 ROM and then WiFi went dead. Though this was normal. Starting reading how to fix the dead WiFi. I have tried all of the popular 4.3 ROMs, tried all the wifi fixes by @dr.ketan and alternatives from XDA gurus and even tried Devil's kernel to activate my dead WiFi. I was on the MJ5 bootloader, I think Nothing seem to work. I have decided to settle with Omega ROM from V20 and now 21. Everything else on the ROM is running perfect and I have had no single FC on my Note 2 excpet I cannot activate my WiFi
Taking a suggestion by @cooza, I decided to do a clean official upgrade with a stock official 4.3 ROM from Sammy hoping the new bootloader with the ROM may trigger the WiFi. This is what I did;
I did a full wipe and format data to clean the internal storage.
Downloaded the official 4.3 firmware from sammobile for my country
Upgrade PC Odin and USB drivers on my windows PC
Flashed the official firmware, root the phone using Dr. Ketan's multitool and flashed TWRP latest.
My phone stats now;
Baseband MK1
ROM ML4
Bootloader ML3
Still WiFi is dead and when I tried to flash the fixes (Dr. Ketan's 'reboot and wifi fix' with PA, the phone say unsupported version. I am now back to Omega V21 which is really a great 4.3 ROM =)
[Edited] I have also reflash the official firmware N7100ML3_XME and did several factory resets from settings and recovery and the WiFi still refuse to turn on. How do I confirm that I am flashing the new bootloader when I flash using PC ODIN? When I check with Device Info app, it says that I my bootloader is ML3.
Does this mean my WiFi is permanently dead? What else can I do?
BIG thank you for all the suggestions and pointers from so many great people in XDA.
did you have wifi working after flashing the stock rom and booting back up before rooting with Dr Ketans tool ?
there were two wifi fix by Dr ketan - one was called reboot fix and actually contained the mj 5 bootloader - the name started with BL, there was one wifi fix which came before this - it was called wifi fix for mj2 . rar.The latter was for those who were on 412 bootloader but wanted the wifi working without upgrading their bootloader. It is not supposed to be run over 4.3 bootloaders.

Actually I lost wifi when I was running a hybrid 4.3 ROM [Hurricane ROM4.3][MI6-MJ2-MJ5-MK4][20-11-13]v6.0[Fast+Stable+Long Battery+NOTEI I I] and it was my daily driver for weeks without any problem. Then I upgraded to Dr. Ketan's 4.3 MK4 ROM when I lost the wifi. Since, I have trying to fix this problem withour much success.
eidros, you said in the other thread you were going to try flashing the stock ml 4 rom, what happened ?
(time for me to log out , hope someone else will give some advise)

Yeah just finished download the stock ml4 but am waitng input regarding which official firmware actually carries bootloaders? He suspects that it may be possible that my phone may not have a bootloader or the appropriate bootloader, does this make sense?
Flash 4.3 bootloader from N7100 Android Development and WiFi will work for 100%, lol

your phone has a bootloader and you checked with info app , as you said in other thread, that it is ml3
no harm in flashing ml4 as you are not concerned with warranty, check your bootloader version after flashing ml4, do factory reset in stock recovery, do a couple of reboots afterwards, yank the battery out , push it back in, power on, hope it will work

I am in the same boat as OP, WiFi is not turning on whatsoever. Tried different ROM
s wiped completely before installing, etc. ... nothing. Not even with Stock ROM WiFi works.
I tried the last suggestion here with the bootloader, but it says failed in Odin and afterwards the phone gives me the failed firmware upgrade screen and Kies won't recognize the phone. (GT-N7100).
I can however restore with Odin and a complete Stock Rom, but still no WiFi. What to do??

hey mate, flashed the stock ml4 rom and the info app confirmed that the bootloader is ml4 but alter doing all the things you suggested and even more the WiFi is still refusing to come on. Do you think the wifi on the N2 is dead? I mean literally kaput? Can that happen when all the other radios are working?

I have just managed to flash Maclaw's CM11 ROM onto a stock, rooted GT-I8160. Everything works apart from the mobile radio. Under Settings > About Phone > Status it says "Service status: Radio Off" and "Network disconnected". The phone has an IMEI number and a baseband number.
So far I have tried:
Rebooting with charger plugged in.
Building a full charge.
Trying to select a network provider. It just says "Error while searching for network operators."
Is there anything else I should try before just restoring from a backup?

Have you flashed stock JB before flashing CM or you flash directly from GB? If you flashed from GB flash JB with pit then reflash CM

you can just flash a one part .md5 jb fw file and then cm11. 3 part isnt necessary. if you only have 482mb ram, find and flash the 624mb ram patch(thread in dev forum)
I followed all your instructions and after rebooting CM11 twice, I have radio connectivity back! Thank you very much!

Official site chainfire said: this metod will trip KNOX.
Probably the best method will be change kernel on older than you have now via odin. And use towelroot app, for me this method worked fine, without tripping KNOX. I have Old kernel, but now i cant upload this file for you because I have it on ma laptop at home.

Thanks, On What ROM is based the old kernel that you have, maybe I can extrack it from a ROM in Sammobile. I have an old kernel but is for android 4.3 not 4.4. I have the S3 Neo with dual SIM and 1.4GHz Snapdragon 400 quadcore.
I dont know, because I downloaded only old kernel, without stock rom. I have single SIM s3 Neo 4x1.4 eu version.
I think, last rom with old kernel is from 05/06 2014 or older ver.

Is there a way to root and install some recovery on SIII Neo i9301i 4.4.2 from Ubuntu Linux? All I could find is the way to do it from Windows.

Hi
In theoriy it is possible to extract the contents of that tar file and flash it with adb or maybe heimdall.
There is a recovery img and some cache image. I guess you need to write the recovery img to the recovery partition. But i dont know the commands (would be also interested in them!!) and the chache image belongs also somewhere.
If someone could point out the locations and the commands this would be awesome!
Thanks

Hi I just want to say that i succesfully rooted my neo in Linux with a WinXP install in Virtualbox! Just boot into download mode and then add the device in Virtualbox. I tied it 2 times, second time worked. First time he did not get a connection to the phone.
Also i installed the udev rules from heimdall before doing this!
Happy rooting
I found a web java app called JOdin3 that needs heimdall on Linux to be able to operate. It detects a phone as connected when in download mode, but I didn't have the guts to try and flash it. Did anyone else tried that application on any OS?
Hi there, I have a gt-I9301I with a baseband: I9301IXXUANI2 can I try this method? Is there any risk of getting a brick?
