ok so i just updated my phone to android 4.3 and i ended up losing my wifi and data it took me 5 hours to fix this problem and 2 hours talking to samsung. the only way i was finally able to get anything to work was to reroot with odin and installing google edition rom and wifi and data works im now going to try one of the custom tw roms but if your stuck try to switch to this rom if your on mk2 modem it fixed my problems.

My phone decided to stop getting a connection today[1], and since I'm running CM11 I figured I might try flashing back to a stock ODIN package. Is there anything I need to be aware of in terms of going back to CM eventually (bootloaders/modems/etc)? I remember when I first got this phone there was some confusion about bootloader versions, but I'm guessing if I flash a stock Kitkat ROM it should be okay with CM11? Thanks!
[1] I get a signal, ~ -75dBm, but no connection, and the same SIM works in another phone.
I am trying to find a fully functional rom. I have tried numerous roms and run into 2 or 3 of the same problems. What I need is working ? . Working Wifi. Working Camera. And working GPS. Most of the roms have given me a problem with the camera. For instance, I take a picture in a dark place and when the flash goes off I get a black screen and there is no display I am forced to pull battery as the phone will not reboot after. I have not had wifi or bluetooth problems in a long time so I can not comment on that. I recently tried Liquid Smooth's 4.4 rom and the camera works, however GPS will not work unless connected to WIFI which does me no good if it won't navigate. Has anyone found a rom out there that is fully functional? I do not have service on my device, which is d2spr by the way, so mobile data and 4g are not needed. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.
If you want fully functional with no additional stuff except what you want, just use stock odex, latest firmware is NJ2, If stock untouched is giving you problems then you may have a messed up internal memory or something.
Wicked S5
Phone is Completely Screwed
So i flashed a MK5 Modem on my L710t due to the fact that my wifi and data were not working ... I though it would fix this ... before that on some roms, the wifi would work, but the data didn't ... and vice versa with other roms ... Carbon and LiquidSmooth to be specific. I can't seem to fix it .. so i tried Unrooting back to all stock everything ... and no matter what tar file i use i get a FAIL in Odin ... i tried three tar files and even tried the 1-click.exe. got an EPIC FAIL ... i tried flashing a stock MK5 deodexed rom because i had flashed a MK5 modem and the damned rom wouldn't boot ... I really just want to revert to a stock Virgin Mobile Samsung Galaxy S III with 4.4.2 and an N8 Modem or whatever modem it came out of the box with ... CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME ...
please and thanks
Thanks. It was a pain in the butt to get it installed as I had to update to ND8 but I think this is is quite functional and what I was hoping for will see in a few days how the system reacts but so far the camera works and i am bout to test gps. So thank you for recommending the Wicked S5.
Can anyone help with this. I have a sprint note 4 that I rooted and was working great, but wanted the stock 5.0.2 upgrade. Used odin to install stock 4.4.4 and remove root. Worked fine phone took the 5.0.2 upgrade. Rerooted and installed wifi tether router but could not get it to work, found it is not working on 5.0.2, dam. Used odin once again to return to stock 4.4.4, rooted, installed wifi tether, everything works with one problem. When turning the screen on I now have a severe lag between the button push and the screen light up.
I odined back for other issues and still had problems. .even a backup was not working... i wiped everything, all data etc, 2 times then went back to nie....then took the otas back to lollipop. .now everything works fine except i still hate the colors

Fixed, it was a bad sd card had nothing to do with the dowgrade.
Good to hear you found your problem. However if it's tethering that's keeping you away from Lollipop then you can put that to rest because you can easily enable wifi/usb tethering without the need for a third part app like tether router (which i have payed for as well). If you expect to stay on the factory rom/firmware then Lollipop would be a wise choice due to the new ART (android runtime) and it's overall effeciency compared to KK . It has a lot of benefits and other than the stock colors, there's no reason you shouldn't update to Lollipop. Do a little searching here in the Sprint Note 4 forum and you'll find a few easy ways to enable the built-in tethering.
Thanks for the info, did exactly that, found galaxy tools would provide the tether

You are SOL for now. Cant downgrade rom OE1, but a new OTA is about to come out, I'd sit tight until then. or...Many people flash Noterized Rom. Try flashing that and continue your troubleshooting.
Stuck
Here is my screen
Hi i just found out now that after upgrading from 4.1.2 JB to 4.3 JB that there are some error happening with my phone. At first i was always curious on why my wifi signal is always low although the router is just outside of my room. I tried to google some possible solution and came up with someone saying that factory reset and wiping data cache had fix their low wifi connection problems, so i tried doing it too but after booting up with recovery i noticed that the usually standing android logo had laid down with an Triangle with a "!" on him ( i know that this must be some kind of error from that point) here's a screenshot

I still tried to continue wiping and it somehow works but it says "error" after doing so, then i tried to select reboot and it also works but still says "error"

2ND QUESTION: Is there another know problem with wifi dropping/disconnection/low signal for 4.4 kitkat stock rom?

A) what bootloader/modem version do you have ?
B) i dont think there is a 4.4 stock ROM.
C) did you make a nandroid backup (as you should always do for a safety net)(not that i ALWAYS do , but should.lol).
1) you should be fine flashing 4.3.
2) wifi issues MAY be related to running 4.4 on older firmware.
"all i can really do , is stay out of my own way and let the will of heaven be done"
You should be find flashing the stock 4.3 sgh-i747m. Just download the carrier ROM from sammobile.com.
If you want to stay on stock 4.3 and you want root, I suggest flashing the latest Philz Touch d2lte recovery via Odin and then flashing supersu from recovery.
If you want to be running the latest KK for the i747m, you can flash back to stock 4.3 and run OTA updates until you are running the latest ROM.
ROMs designed for the d2lte should run on the i747 and i747m. Bootloaders and modems cannot be cross-flashed.

A) Bootloader: I747MVLUEMK5
B) after reading a lot of forums i got an information that samsung released and 4.4 stock rom for canadian version of s3. there's a downloadable rom here http://www.mrcrab.net/stockrom/sgh-i747m.html and from samsung kies
C) I never make backups too
C1) nevermind the wifi problem it seems that my router is the one who have a problem
ok. thanks for info. never knew there was a stock 4.4 for anyone. glad wifi got figured out.:good:
and , @audit13 is a lot more knowledgeable than i ; so i would advise listening to him 1st on any matters.

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?
James
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.
James
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.
James
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.
James
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
