[Q] [HELP] No gps on kitkat roms - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

Ive been searching and i cant seem to find anything that helps :/ Any kitkat rom that i have tried so far i cant get my GPS to work. Everything else works with no issues just no gps. I have tried using the stock kernels that have came with the rom and also Devil2 kernel. I've done clean install's of the roms as well. I would truly appreciate it if anyone has any ideas on how to get it fixed. Thanks in advance.

I had the exact same problem even after going back to tw roms, I ended up doing a full unroot with Odin and doing the root process all over again. Now my GPS is working again.

I had this problem a few times with different roms, gps would never lock. GPS Status from Play store always fixed it.

Yea Odin fixed me too but I went back to 4.1.2 then back to 4.3 don't know if you have to go to 4.1.2 or not but I did.

Well i finally used mobile odin and flashed back to 4.1.2 and that did the trick. Im now back to using a 4.4 kit kat rom and GPS and everything works with no issues. Thanks for the help guys!

Was having the issue with GPS as well.. tried to go back to twrp backup of 4.3 (stock ota) with no success.
Followed these steps to get to 4.1.1 via odin and it's working again.

[Q] Wifi Error Problem

When I turn wifi on I cannot connect to any network, and when I go to turn on wifi it just says "error". The weird thing though is that I am running complete stock rom (rooted), but I have not installed the update from early April. If anyone knows how I can fix this please let me know. (This might push me to flash ics if I can't fix it)
Install CWM and flash HoNo's ICS. It actually has far fewer bugs than stock (for me ).

AOSP kernel maybe? I know some (all?) of the stock based ROMs don't flash a kernel. Just a guess, haven't gone from AOSP to stock.
Do you have a nandroid of a touchwhiz rom ? I go back and fourth to cm10 to my stock nandroid backup without issue. Try that.

What kernel did you use?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
Kernel was on my mind today since I went from WanamLite to DietICS and suddenly WiFi stopped working. It was because I had flashed the faux123 kernel while on WanamLite and had to reflash it after going to DietICS. Little things I'll eventually get used to!

Yep definitely kernel, would a said so immediately as I had same issue. Always be weary of the kernel u have installed when flashing to new or different rom as many roms dont have a kernel with them. And many custom kernels will cause this issue. U got it figured out anyways so live and learn and keep it in mind for future

Having trouble and need help.

So I am having trouble flashing a new ROM I have done it in the past and am used to doing it so I know what needs to be done. When I download a ROM I want to use I download it to my phone directly then I reboot into recovery I have the latest twrp version and I wipe everything then I go to install the ROM and after about 2 seconds it says failed. No matter what ROM I try it does this and I've tried downloading them several times thinking it was a bad download. I was able to install a stock one but I don't like stock and none of the others are working I don't known if I'm doing something wrong or if its my phone but help me please. Thanks in advance.

Are you sure you downloaded the correct TWRP Recovery for your phone?
Yes I am. It was doing it on an older version I had so I thought it was cause I hadn't updated in a while and it still kept doing it after I updated.

Hi there
1) Are you from Canada and using a Canadian Recovery for d2can? if so this could be a problem since many updater-scripts see this a fail since they are looking for d2att
2) What ROM's are you trying to flash? AOSP or Stock based touchwiz rom's?
also I would like to direct you to the Q&A, Help and troubleshooting forum, in the event that this post get's moved, you will find it there. They are busy people, but now you know no hard feeling man, just trying to make their job's easier!
cheers
Thanks a lot! And no I'm in the usa and aosp ROMs are what I'm trying to install the stock touchwiz ones worked.

Baseband Unknown

Does anyone have a baseband fix. I can't connect to the Sprint mobile network. I feel like i've tried everything. Any ideas? I've tried going back to stock, flashing radios/modems/kernels. Any help would be appreciated.
What did you do to get this problem? Knowing the background will help us help you.

Did you flash Aospa 4 or cm11 through TWRP? if I remember in both threads they say to flash via CWM or you'll lose your baseband. You might have to flash a total stock image via Odin to fix it.

yeah i flashed Aospa, but i did do it through CWM...for some reason my SD card wouldn't work after the update so I went to downgrade back to stock. I tried flashing from ODIN with the stock image but it was failing at the boot.img part every time. Maybe I got a bad stock image? I'll search for the stock through xda and re download and try. just sucks because it took almost two hours to download. thanks again for everyone's help.
Well I have lost baseband along with all the other info countless times. The fix is not very hard. If you still need help I can help you out later today.

Mobile hotspot does not work on stock 4.3 deodexed roms without flashing the hotspot hack. You will need to find and flash the correct version hotspot hack for your rom. Ex. MA7, MC2, MK4, etc.
Do this: Flash Phil's recovery 6.0.7.9, wipe everthing, flash rom of choice (I recommend LorJay's stock deodexed MK4 without Note 3 features), upon first boot you may need to Odin flash the WiFi fix (from your PC only), then boot into recovery and flash the MK4 hotspot hack, reboot and setup phone, Success.
If for some strange reason you still get that error message when turning on mobile hotspot, I'd flash a custom AOSP ROM such as Slim ROM, Carbon ROM, etc. Those Roms have hotspot fully functioning right out of the box. Keep us posted.
Still no good. Thanks for suggestion tho. . Haven't tried asop but not a Fan. Any suggestions on wiping or formatting(how to) the internal part of phone to go from scratch.

Here you go. I recommend the Odin method.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086769
It seems as if Sprint has done something to your phone because everything you have dine should have worked. Something isn't right. That's why I suggested trying an AOSP ROM for the time being just to test this theory. Then you can flash back to stock or whatever you choose. You could also flash a custom Touch Wiz rom that has hotspot already working. If that fails you definitely got a phone that's been altered somehow by Sprint. I've yet to ever see this but I'm sure its very possible. Just my opinion.
