Hi guys,
I have had the s2,s3,galaxy nexus,original note and i am used to flashing and modifying,but i have a serious issue with the note 2.
The problem is whenever i flash AOSP rom(cm,aokp,pa) my wifi would not connect.It shows the name of the network and when i click conenct nothing happens.Flashing back TW rom fixes it,wifi works like a charm. I've done full wipes but it doesn't seem to resolve the issue.I tried different kernels,but that doesn't help either.
So I am stuck at TW roms and i hate that.Anyone has any ideas?
You can try options 2 and 3 from this thread.
Thanks for your reply,but i tried this and it didn't solve my problem.
Anyone?

I Have the same problem...
Not sure that it will help you but I read something yesterday about this issue.
The solution was to NOT restore your Google profile during first boot so you should full wipe and try again.

This actually has nothing to do with the problem.
After a few days I finally found the cause ,and therefore,a decision to the problem.
It is the bootloader from 4.3 sammy leaks.It seems that this new leaks(probably the reason being KNOX) cause malfunction of wifi in aosp roms.What i did was ODIN flash stock MG1 from sammobile .This brought back stock recovery so i had to flash TWRP again and it solved the issue for me.
Before that i had tried changing roms,kernels,recovery,modems and nothing worked so I am pretty sure it is the new 4.3 leaks bootloader.
Some people will say that it can\t be the issue because they are using 4.3 sammy and do not experience the same problem on aosp roms,but i think thats because they flash it through CMW ,which doesn't change bootloader,while flashing through ODIN does.
With my Note2 this is not the solution. I've tried everything. What you said, move file "pit" ..... but nothing. I can not connect wifi. The connection does not appear region Spain, and have opted to choose europe, but neither. I do not know to do. CM 10.1 also does not work WIFI. In Stock ROM or Custom ROM works fine fine, but in ROM CM 10.1, 10.2, AOKP don't work.

I have seen a variety of posts in various threads about people not being able to get GPS connections and blaming the ROM they were on the for the problem - I imagine that sometimes that could be the reason but something happened to me recently that makes me wonder...
I am a flashaholic - often going back and forth between various ROMS via Nandroid back ups - all was good - then recently I noticed my GPS wasn't working. I thouht it was the rom - but no matter what I did I could not fix it. I tried installing other roms - totally clean install - I tried flashing back to rooted stock and no matter what I tried, GPS did not work.
I don't know where I saw it, but I finally saw a post from someone who suggested fixing it by going back to stock via odin - I tried that and it didnt work either - digging a little deeper someone suggested using odin to going back to pure stock then go into settings and do a factory restore.
I tried it - and it worked - took me virtually all day to figure it out - but it is working better than ever now - I wish I knew what caused it in the first place - but at least I found a somewhat reasonable solution.
If you have lost your GPS and can't get it working again - give it a shot -
Does anyone else have any other suggestiions that might work?
This is correct. I had this exact same issue and this worked for me as well.

Do you know why it happend in the first place? Was it the result of a specific Rom or just flashing in general?
Thats what i found that worked for me too. It only worked after i went into settings and reset the phone after odin.

I recently lost my GPS after flashing a Sprint-based ROM. Unfortunately, ODIN back to stock and factory reset from the Settings menu (and from recovery) did not bring back my GPS.
However, I followed a suggestion from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923067
I used ODIN to go back to a rooted stock ROM, installed CWM, installed the Sprint-based ROM that seemed to have been the source of the trouble. My GPS started working again. I then used CWM to restore a stock nandroid backup I had from earlier and GPS continued to work thereafter in any ROM I flashed.
There may be a simpler process, but that's what worked for me.

Now that I thnk of it, I also had flashed a Sprint Based rom - that must have triggered my original issue - I explained what I did to restore my GPS at the start of this thread _ and it is similar to what you described - execept I did not odin to a SPRINT rom - I used ODIN to bak to pure stock - then did a factory restore - (and this second step is what seemed to do the trick) then I re-rooted and went backto my happy days of flashing roms - I haven't had an issue since.

It definitely seems to be a common element to most of these GPS issues. I'm not sure why, in some cases, all it takes is a factory reset in stock to fix it, while others have to re-install the Sprint ROM first. Either way, though, it seems like in most cases, it's user-fixable.
Got the GPS death syndrome today. Flashed a ton of stock ICS nandroid backups without any luck. Finally fixed it after flashing a Sprint JB ROM nandroid then back to ICS. Such a werid issue.

I have the same issue. Now to flash a stock rom using Odin, do you have to use the toolkit? Also where can I download a Rogers stock rom from?
finally after losing gps and reading thread after thread got it to work , thank you to the guys that personally try to help , dont know why it struck this time but it did , now i will try to bring it back to stock , again thanks , by the way the rom i was using to bring it back was serenity 1.1 which i use before but wouldn't stick...:good:

If your problem started after installing a Sprint-based ROM, then root your phone, install CWM and then install that same Sprint ROM. Your GPS will probably work after that. You can then restore a Nandroid backup of another ROM. That's how a lot of us were able to fix our GPS.

i was on stock rooted xxuamf4, i flashed both xxuamh3 and xxuamg8 (these two i had already downloaded) but problem remained. just to eliminate software issue , as a last resort i flashed CM 10.1.3 and magically my device was fully functional again( by the way ..:good: to CM...).
So WTF? i 'll try later to flash a stock non rooted fw and see what will happen...
p.s : anyone know how to change baseband? in my sgs3 mini i used to flash different modem for that. what works for this device?
p.s 2 : thanks again for your time guys!:good:
flashing back stock firmware , problem reappeared! it seems something has to do with knox , because every time i try to open wifi a toasted notification appears "prevention information... the device as detected...bla...bla...bla"
the thing is that if i root my phone and completely delete knox,knox agent,store and container agent, the notification stops but the wifi setting still cannot be enable.
any ideas????

Back to report that re-rooting with arco's method but with rootkit v2 (that includes kernel) seems to solve the issue! the steps i follow was :
1) gain root
2) install cwm recovery
3) with es explorer delete knox store,knox agent, container agent (both apk and odex files)
4) reboot to cwm recovery
5) clear cache and davlik cache
6) reboot and RESURRECTION!!!:good:

i think it's a kernel related issue. But first in order to eliminated hardware problem possibility, try to flash a cm rom. If your wifi and bluetooth works then you can be sure it's not a hardware failure. in my case flashing a different kernel solved the issue.
p.s : if you find a way to change baseband version ,please share the way!!!

Is it hardware issue?
Same problem for me (1st post): new i9195 with latest XXUCNK1, never flashed before,
install twrp and make a backup, install CM-12.1 and CM-13 without any issue,

I notice that twrp doesn't restore previous modem I update to XXUCOL1
Am so sorry mods if i didn't post this in the right section, I have limited sections i can paste owing to the fact that am still a junior member and my posts aren't up to 10. I have an sgh-t999 samsung galaxy s3, that is the snapdragon chipset type. I would love to update the whole firmware to 4.3 boatloader, baseband and so on just dat i've only succeeded in updating the baseband to the latest but not the boatloader cos it will involve downloading the whole firmware and am scared of this knox security stuff imbeded in 4.3 and another thing is that i have a slow network which might cause broken and corrupt downloads. My main problem is that when ever i flash any kitkat custom rom, that is all this weekly, nightlies and so on roms, am always having this persistent cannot connect to the camera error which i have searched for a fix to no avail. Ok look at how I have tried to fix it, i copied the camera data of a touchwhiz rom to replace the kitkat own but no changes, have tried restarting and wiping but still same problem. I happened to come across this beautiful rom ie [D2LTE]
~~AICP~~4.4.4----{5.0}---(RELEASE)-JUN-25 rom which i so much love and discovered that it has same problem. Seriously if it were just the bluetooth, i wouldn't have any problems but the camera is ab essential somethhing i can't stay with. Is this problem because am flashing a kitkat custom rom without an updated boatloader or is it particular to the rom? I need some help plz. How do i have a long standing solution to it?

As you have installed custom recovery so I feel it might have increased your warranty count and as far flashing 4.3 rom, I don't think if you flash root66 of latest NC2 build is going to harm as only thing that you will not be /should not flash older firmware in Odin as it will brick your device but you will be able to flash older custom Rom in recovery without any issues
With this you will be enjoying latest bootloader and modem and use all 4.4 Rom without issues.
For camera issue, you download other camera from play store and try as I used Google camera without issues on this Rom but I am on latest bootloader and modem.
Something like a force close

Hello,
So I've flashed before Slimbean, but had problems with the "can't connect to camera" problem, so I decided to flash Slimkat 4.4.4 which fixed the camera problem.
New problem now is that i can't get any gps signal. I can turn it on, but no signal. Anyone have a solution to this, or is experiencing the same problem?

I'd imagine it should be ok, since we have the same phone pretty much I'm on koodo which is pretty much telus without the customer service hehe. for kitkat at the end of development they basically lumped a d2att, d2tmo etc together. (this has reverted for the lollipop builds out there).
The last OTA I got was FOB1, so you may want to go to stock to ota to the latest updates from telus. Just so you have the latest bootloader/firmware. But that's up to you of course.
It's a google play app open source, the slimkat one I had seemed to lockup when switching from front to back camera and from camera to video. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.sourceforge.opencamera&hl=en
What are you using to flash them?

I'm using TWRP
Ah, ok I just keep a backup in case anything goes bad flashing roms. If you use TWRP to flash them it only affects the boot image, data and system. So if you have problems you can restore from backup nice and easy.
I'm swapping between a few right now. So far my only uh oh experience was when I tried to upgrade TWRP, no problems with roms. But I use TWRP as well, works great.
Basically the baseband version on our phone, it's the radio and bootloader. Before I had rooted it I had gotten the latest updates by checking for updates. It downloaded and upgraded to FOB1 (Baseband I747MVLUFOB1), then I rooted and played with flashing. Not sure if you made a backup of your original install before trying another rom. But it's not a necessity for slimkat, I don't believe.

First thing to try for GPS problems is taking off the back cover and snugging up all the little screws around the phone. Sometimes they work their way loose and the GPS antenna seems to be the first thing to suffer from it.
If that doesn't cure it you might need to flash a stock or at least stock based ROM and rebuild the nvram. Here's a link that describes how to do that if you need to.
Hi all, I have a note 2 shg-i317 that was originally on Bell in Canada. It was unlocked and the aws mod done to it, I use freedom mobile, aka T-mobile in the states.
I was running a Rom for the past 3 years Slimfast 4.4 and liked it. I had tried Nugat on another phone, thought I would try the [ROM][7.1.2][OFFICIAL] LineageOS for N7105
I did the upgrade, broke the root, could not get a few things working, so I decided to restore the Slimfast backup I had just made (complete including modem etc) and everything works except the GPS.
GPS for me is huge, I use it a lot. I cannot lock on to 1 satellite now. Before i was able to lock onto a minimum of 16 in about 30-45 seconds, if outside.
I really dont care if I can get to 7.1 at the moment. I need my GPS back - any troublshooting for getting GPS to work on this phone?

I would try to flash the original stock for your phone and country from sammobile. com
Gps should work normaly then. If not your hardware is broken. If it works you can always flash your data back from your Slimfast rom.

Crap, I am posting here, because I did it again. Again not sure how. I tried to run Reserection, and I guess that messed up the GPS.
To put the original stock rom on.. I have to do that through ODIN? I dont remember how I fixed this last year.. Sorry.
Hope somone can help I need the GPS.
James
ps. Used odin 3.09 to flash the original rom... still no GPS
You flashed the latest 4.4.2 room?

The Rom that I flashed to try and restore the GPS was I317MVLUDNF1_I317MOYADNF1_BMC (mine was an originally BELL phone)
But that did not repair the GPS from me flashing resurection.. I THINK did it. I flashed an android 6 and an android 7 rom. (Mokee) but tried to go back to my Slimfast.. and the GPS was now broken.
Basically what I did a year ago.. somehow I fixed it then.. but cannot remember at all how I did it.

The note 2 sold by Rogers, Bell, and Telus are exactly the same model and stock roms from these carriers can be cross flashed.
Try flashing the stock ROM twice in Odin with a factory reset in between each flash.

Do you mean boot up the rom.. run the reset in the rom? or flash.. - load TWRP back in.. WIPE.. then FLASH again with odin?
Thanks for helping btw.

I have backups (complete all partitions) of my rom.. Slimfast 4.4 from 2-3 days ago.. when I tried this. SO.. if I can get the Factory rom to restore the GPS.. how can I restore the backup.. I saw somewhere that the EFS partition could be left out and that might help? dont restore the modem? how??
James
I meant flash with Odin, boot into stock recovery, factory reset, flash again with Odin, boot into stock recovery, factory reset, and boot into the stock ROM.
Nope, still no GPS lock.. I have the flashing circle (always had) and it will not lock.. I read about where people go into a service mode and rebuild the NV? .. I assume this is something that Mokee or Reserection did.. not sure how.
Any other ideas?
James
what about using Odin or TWRP to put different modems in? does the modem effect the GPS?
tried this.. does not seem to. grrrrr wish I knew how I fixed this.
James
I assume there are no loose wires. Does it get a lock when using wifi? Not sure what else to suggest.
Not sure about rebuilding NV.
No.. I broke it with playing with custom roms.. Liniage was last year.. I did not try that this year.. but tried both android 6 reserection and android 7 Mokee.. and I am pretty sure they messed it up.. I am also pretty sure there was something I did .. easy like load an old STOCK rom and it fixed it.. I was then able to put my slimfast 4.4 back over it and it was fine. Unfortunatly .. not enough people still using this device.. I will have to have patience I guess.

So I have tried differenct stock roms, but I think the issue is ODIN will not restore code from a rom image that is HARDWARE based. I wanted to use Samsung smartswitch but they disabled the part of it that allowed you to factory reset the phone, this seemed to work for several people. Many have also reported entering a code and going into a service mode.. there you can do to a menu that will rebuild hardware modules back to default. But I have not been able to get into that mode because it seems to be a touchwiz only option, and I cannot find a factory rom that is touchwiz based for this model.
What needs to be done is a true FACTORY ROM image.. that would revert all software and hardware back to original, but I cannot seem to find that anywhere.
James
The only factory roms that I know of come from places like sammobile.com and they are all based on TouchWiz which is Samsung's launcher.
So guess what? put Ressurection back on.. and the GPS is back.
I cannot get it to work in any KitKat based rom.. but now anything Marshmellow up.. works.. HMMMMMM
