cannot connect to wifi, Prevention Information - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

Hello all Im afraid Im in need of dire help
I cannot connect to wifi. every time I try to turn it on a notification comes up
"prevention information" [see attachment]
here's how it happened
I rooted my phone via tutorial by chainfire and everything was working fine
I then decided to backup my phone using clockwork mod
-however rebooting to backup brought some small glitch so I decided to go back to regular root
I unrooted my phone following this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2258628
I then rooted my phone again
*at this point the wifi didnt work so I unrooted again and performed a factory reset
the wifi still doesnt work and im not sure why
I am currently not rooted
phone stats are:
samsung galaxy s4 sgh-m919 tmobile 4.2.2
baseband version m919uvuamdL
thank you
Edit: yes I have rebooted as recommended by the notification

will I then be able to return to stock without running a custom rom? or atleast cr-autoroot?

I do not know for certain, but wicked is very close to stock. And it doesn't have the crappy T-Mobile bloatware

I will try that thank you, do I need to root my phone first before installing a rom or is the root included in the roms?
where do I get the roms and tutorials for it? I searched here[see attachment] but I didnt find wicked.
I just dont want to accidentally get a rom for a diff phone

Go to the android development section it's over there. It's something like wicked 5.1 the game changer

idk what any of that is
I wanted to uninstall SEAndroid but that was probably going to be a bad choice lol

I followed this guide to return to stock but instead of using "Stock TAR (original)" I used "Download UVUAMDL Official TAR"
now Im going to try and root again. Hopefully it will stay fixed

I just Odin'd back to stock yesterday because I had lost my backup of the 100% stock ROM... After rooting, I as well was getting the Prevention Information error; I just used Titanium Backup to freeze SEAndroid... Using TiBu to freeze an app is like uninstalling it, but it's less permanent. It doesn't run, it doesn't start.. just like it's not there, but you can 'defrost' the app and it's back to doing what it does. It did get rid of the Prevention error and it all still works.

It's just an app. It's for backing up apps and data.

I seriously do not know why you prefer stock. It has so much bloatware and it lags a lot. But, if you like it, OK.

The warning you are getting is only from rooting. All you have to do is remove KNOXAgent.apk from the /system/app directory. You can use any eoog explorer found on the market to do this. That's all that is. The apk is pointless.

Just pointing out the dialog went away for me when I froze SEAndroid... I still froze KnoxAgent as well, but SEAndroid killed the message.

Lock up and restart alot?

anyone else having this prob. sometimes i will use a app and the screen will go black and unresponsive i can still turn the screen on and off wit the power button but it eventually restarts however it does the startup animations but does not make the sounds. any fix?
some history:
tooks some time but decided to root, once rooted the factory os would not boot. so i did the restore to factory flash with counter reset uploaded by a fellow member of xda and then did the flash to root.
now i have this prob.
What Rom did you flash to? Stock or something else? Also, Root method? Odin CVM, Flash root zip? just trying to see if there's anything that sounds odd or off other then the issue you described. I rooted with CVM Flash (odin) and zip root method.. Flashed The People's rom, No resets here.

Link me the rom please.
I have seen this a few times recently. I did not have that happen when I read on ICS. It only happened after I updated to lj7.
It is interesting to note that the phone appears to restart and recover but when I look at the uptime for android I see that it was not a full reboot.

See my latest post. I ran this on my OG Epic.. running it now. LOVE IT.
I've been encountering this lately also. I thought maybe it was just my phone. My back button becomes unresponsive sometimes as well. Maybe I'll do a full wipe and reflash a rom.
maybe sumthin up with super user? i noticed that when i open up flip board it says shell granted super user a **** load of times and wont let me do anything in flipboard.

You are not rooted if apps won't pull it. You don't need root to theme. There are plenty of launchers. Since you seem to have a CWM, you can flash a rooted ROM.

Hello, regarding my root. :(

So I have been rooted for a couple months now with no problems at all, I do have the t-mobile note 2 which is model # SGH-T889. And I opened up Superuser and there is an unroot button which was not check but soon became checked I was unaware at the time you can even unroot a phone via a program. Is there a way to reverse this problem, all of my rooted apps no longer allow me to open them up, But for say wallpappers and some other apps I was able to keep them
www(dot)/gyazo(dotcom)/74c27571285f3d19f866b09be020013a
That is what my Titanium backup says above.
I also tried installed the newere SuperSU or whatever that didn't work either.
And even still "Software update" "Your device has been modified.Software updates are not available" Hit OK, I only just found out today there is a program called "Voodoo OTA RootKeeper" Only had I known about this program yesterday none of this would have happened, in the "Voodoo OTA RootKeeper"there should be check marks allow me to uncheck/recheck and there is no huge button for backup/unroot/root. that tells me I'm not rooted I guess.
A buddy of mine actually helped me root via teamviewer And I do not have the proper kit/know how to do it for my model #. If someone can help me in another way besides just rerooting the original way that would help. But if not if you have a known good rootkit for my situation.
I am sorry if this is not in the right section under my phone. I wanted to put it in the dev area but read that they will delete it if you put it there, even though It would seem that is the proper area since this is a rooting situation.
If you guys need any more information about my issue please ask

Is there a method to doing so? I do remember via teamviewer he used a rootkit of some kind would that work even in my current case? I still have superuser on my phone along with kies.

Are you sure it is rom I need to DL, Don't I need to be rooted first to get the rom on there? My problem is my phone is half rooted, titanium backup says clear busybox and one other app, but every single other app says I need to be rooted, Along with that being weird when I try to do a software update. It tells me that I have a modded device so I cannot do it. In the mean while before I reroot again I would like to get the most recent update.

Hi everyone, I unrooted my note 8 using the toolkit and i never modified the stock firmware in any way, but it's still not letting me check for updates on the device because it detects it as modified..
I confirmed the unroot doesnt work since titanium backup wont open
what else can i try?

You mean "the unroot did work", and you are not presently rooted, right?
Did you simply try rebooting? I was confused about the update not working, then realized I simply needed to reboot, then the update worked fine.
If any bloat apps were even frozen in Titanium, you need to unfreeze them. I know you said you didn't modify the firmware. But you might have missed this, or didn't consider it "modifying the firmware".
Did you install busybox? It's possible that Samsung's looking for things other than the SU binary and busybox is one of the things a lot of folks install immediately after SU.
All those things are accounted for. The device status still says custom though. Weird..
Oh well

Did you remove or freeze any apps while rooted? If so then did you make sure to restore them before you unrooted and tried to update?
Use the PCsoftware "kies" of samsung , that will let you update / upgrade even if you are rooted.
It shows the latest firmware and your firmware so you know if you need to update or not.
You will lose root if you decide to flash firmware.
It may sound ridiculous, don't really understand why, but I had the same problem and googled it (don't remember where i found it) the solution for me was as simple as removing my SD card and rebooting, then the update option magically was available again.

S4 seems to be getting stuick on bootup of ROM & other issues

Hello and thanks to all those before me who give great advice on troubleshooting....
Here's my situation:
Phone is Rooted.
I downloaded an app a few days ago from the Play Store, so I could move my app installs to the sdcard. When i installed the app it said that there was something wrong " can't remember the exact message " and it needed to fix it. My dumbass allowed it to fix it and here is where my problems began.
Right after that I began receiving a message "Shell has been granted Super User", phone began to run sluggish and the Play Store App would always say it was crashing.
So I figured, screw it I would format and start w/a new ROM anyway.... I did not have any sort of backup (of course dumbass)
However I loaded up the latest version of Odin 3.09 and just incase I installed the root.zip again incase that was destroyed. Then I installed the latest version of OUDHS CWM-Based Recovery 1.0.3.3 ( Previously I had TWRP )
I downloaded a few different roms so I could see what I wanted...However...here's where things get interesting, and I did do some research on it but couldn't find a way to resolve the 1st problem.
When I first started to install a ROM, don't remember which one I was getting a signature verification failed....I had read that it could be 2 things, one the MD5 was bad, I verified that, so that wasn't the issue. Then I came across that it may have been a ROM that my device(Samsung) somehow knew wasn't approved, therefore prevented it from being installed....OK fine...
Next I found a ROM that was going to work via installing...So i picked the CM10.2 and wiped/format/davik/cache...etc... Installation took a few mins...Then when I rebooted, it's been on the Cyangenmod screen for 45 mins +....
Is there anyway I can do some verification that something further isn't interfering w/my installs?
Thanks in advance and any guidance is GREATLY appreciated...
Regards
Erik

Actually I tried that and I used this one from stockroms.net TMB-M919UVUAMDL-1366964131.zip
the verification failed immediately, however, when I checked it w/the MD5 hash on my computer it checks out...That's where I'm wondering if there is something else going on...
Or are you talking about something else regarding stock? If so could you clarify...Thanks
Use sam mobile.com
And flash the mdl fw from there. Also you may have to unzip the original file to get a tar file

Just wanted to say thank you for your help. Both the flashing the recovery back to default and the default ROM worked. Now in the future no more clicking yes when I don't have a backup
Have a great weekend!!
