Hello XDA community, my brother has been having wi-fi and bluetooth issues on his T-MO Note II ever since applying the 4.3 OTA. Before I go on, the first thing I did was use CF-auto root and flash both agni pure stock and devil kernel and neither of them have worked. In addition, I have used dr.ketans patch as well as flashing some AOSP based ROMs such as AOKP and SlimKat and neither of them have yielded any results. I have tried almost everything I can find via XDA and I am truly stumped.
Do you guys have any solutions to the wifi issues? Any help would be greatly appreciated! :good:
Can you elaborate, what wifi issues ?
Frequent disconnects ?
Battery drains ?

Wi-fi wil not turn on whatsoever. I can press the icon to turn it on and it will slide to the on position greyed out, and then go back to off right away. The same for bluetooth as well.
If the phone was already on 4.3 then wifi patch was not needed.
I would advise to flash stock image and start fresh. Make sure to wipe dalvik-cache after flashing stock ROM.

Thanks, I will try that when I can. By any chance do you know where I can find a 4.3 image? I've tried looking into the stickies over at the Dev section and they don't have 4.3 as far as I can recall. The only 4.3 image I see is the stock root injected one from Mr.Robinson.
You can download one from sammobile.com. You will have to register though, make sure you download the file for sgh-t889.

Thank you very much. I will do that tomorrow as I do not have the device with me at the current moment. I will let you know how it goes!

I just wanted to say thank you to both ciphercodes and Squilchi for all your help. My brother also says a big thanks as he doesn't have an account here. When the Note II finished rebooting from the image flash via Odin, I almost freaked out because nothing had seemingly changed but then I realized I was already on the 4.3 OTA. I also had an spectacular noob moment by forgetting to wipe cache in stock recovery. After I did that, I am glad to report that Wi-fi and bluetooth work as it's supposed to. I can't say thank you enough. In the odd occasion that this should happen again, a wipe of cache in stock recovery should be okay correct?

Glad to know issue was resolved. By default it's highly unlikely that these problems will return on a stock ROM but if they do then flashing back to stock is the most optimal solution.
Unfortunately I may have spoken too soon. Wi-Fi was working just fine for a bit but suddenly it can't connect to the network nor see any other networks. It can still turn on but connecting to remembered networks and seeing other networks are a no-go. Bluetooth is wonky as well. I'm starting to think it's hardware but I doubt it.

I have yet to wipe data since it seemed okay although the notion has been floating in my head. I did wipe cache and shortly after, it didn't work. I suggested unforgetting the network and adding it again and that seemed to work for a little while. No error messages, just the same slide to on greyed out and back to off.

Just a little update, I booted to stock recovery and performed a factory reset and wipe cache partitions but still nothing after it booted. To answer your question, I did use Odin 3.09 and it was already on MK7 prior to my first flash of the tar file in Odin. This is so frustrating.
Sorry for the double post, but I just did a factory reset and wipe cache and just re-flashed the tar file with update bootloader ticked and still a no-go. It's a shame the 4.3 update has borked my brother's Note II to this extent but it seems like the majority of people don't experience this. I'm stumped....

Prior to all this madness, I did try flashing JediMasterX2(I think) and AOKP, two ROMs that I would heavily associate with being stable and basically have everything work. Unfortunately, they didn't work. After all that went down and I restored my backed-up OTA all the way to now, it has been on MK7 stock kernel since then. I'm about to flip a table or something.

Update 9-4
Added link to kernel source at bottom of post.
Got boot, got ext4 converting automatically, got stable. Also got a brick from being to tired and flashing via heimdall by putting something in the wrong input.
No way to test at this actual moment, this project bricked 2 tabs and im am down to last one, which i am using for cm7.
I am trying some extreme and radical stuff here, so bricking was expected. Those GSM owners have to many options, its high time we one-up them.
Power to the CDMA LOL. ha ha ha
No link except to source for right now, dont want anyone to hurt their tab. Ill get back to the kernel as soon as i am done tweaking the kernel for CM7

As much as your hurtin man i would take it easy. V1 and v2 work great already. We can wait. However if your like me you gotta have something to take your mind off stuff. Great work! Very glad to see some verizon love for once. Froyo was getting old fast.

Flashed and went through the process of wiping cache, factory wipe and reset, and rebooted. Got as far as the verizon wireless screen and froze there. No animation ( after the first animation) or anything. Went back to the stock Gingerbread.
Flashed twice. Once just the kernel and then adding the kernel to the stock Gingerbread. No luck either time. I did have the cw recovery though......
Just because I can, I had to give this kernel a try on the Sprint Tab. It booted into CWM once, failed the ext4 conversion so I told it to reboot recovery. That's where it all went wrong, as the stock recovery took over. Back to stock now to do some other stuff, then back the V1 for Sprint.
Hey oldmacnut,
You say Dan bricked his tab? Mind if I take a look at it? I've been taking Android devices apart and putting them back together for a while now, I could probably fix it, and if I can, I can send it back.

I couldn't figure out to update with Odin... It's weird. It wouldn't start flashing, always failed. Updated with Heimdal (I got the extracted files from .tar files. Wound up slowing my processor down considerably. Flashed it back to VZW firmware. The processor is still slow and it heats up and at times does not respond. Think I might have to send it to Samsung to get it fixed and the modem. Trouble is, what will be a good accuse if I messed up the components inside it with Sprint firmware? Think I might say I left it in the car and it over heated and it wont work right now. Good Idea?

I am not sure if there is an actual release stock firmware for a SCH-I800 model of mine. I think I have random roto backups.... I have flashed it back stock many many times and once the modem files upload, nothing happens. Heimdall doesn't say Flashing Complete.
Guys, I'm finally home after 2 days of Dr appts out of town.
1. I'm drained
2. My right arm is so bad I can't move it
3. I have no internet at home now, and the tab is getting bad coverage.
My arm alone is enoughbto keep me off the computer, web access or not, its bad, it sucks. I'm going to reach out to a few people today, try to get some help with wrapping up what I have going right now.
If my arm keeps deteriorating the way it is, I will not be able to do anything on the computer, let alone hold my tab.
Those of you who know how to reach me via gtalk, do so today please.

I successfully unrooted my phone but it still shows up as modified. I'm wondering what I did wrong and if there's another way to go about it. Here's what I did.
Used Triangle Away to reset my binary. It said it was successful and shows my count as "0". Then I downloaded the Bell stock firmware for my phone, sgh-i747m. The md5 checked out. I then tried flashing using mobile odin. Still shows as modified. I then tried it all again with pc version of Odin. Everything boots up. I was unrooted and even though I reset my binary I'm seeing "modified" under settings/status.
Has anyone encountered this before? Any work arounds?

Mind if I ask why you don't want it to show modified?
Also, little clarification: by flashing 4.1.1 (stock), you will get the modified status.

I fully admit to being a noob, but it seems that when I try to check for updates on my phone it gives me a message saying that my device has been modified and updates are not available for it. I've been spent months flashing and trying out different ROMS and just wanted to revert fully back to stock for a bit. I love using Bluetooth Audio streaming and have never had as good of audio quality as I did with stock. I understand that playing around with drivers and kernels could help that with custom rom but until i'm more knowledgeable about that kind of stuff I didn't want to flash anything.
Just before I checked this message I realized that I've been flashing 4.1.1 stock and figured that's where my problem lies. Currently downloading stock ICS for Bell.
Thanks again!!

If you want a ROM that has working BT streaming, try Task's AOKP.

I love Task's AOKP. It's the one I always returned to and used the most, but with any rom I tried the BT audio always had a bit of clipping/overdrive. I tried adjusting my volume levels but it wouldn't go away. I never tried other kernels, modems or drivers and suspect that the solution to that problem could be found in one of those, but like I stated above, I'm not knowledgeable enough yet. Wouldn't feel confident messing around with kernels and modems. And I always seemed to be on the modem intended for Bell users.
Here is what I did, this was on a Note 2, flashed back to stock rooted, ran triangle away, uninstalled superuser then flashed a stock rom without root. It may be the long away to the end but it worked.
I ended up getting it to work. Flashed stock ICS then upgraded to Jelly Bean.

Im still having issues with my GPS and cant seem to get it to work, and i know there are several diff threads on fixes, but none seem to work for me. Just curious if there is anything i havnt tried. My issue is the same as most, after using the GPS, it will drop signal and the icon disappears. Only way to get it back it to restart the phone. Some days i can go days before its lost, others it happens 4 times a day.
Im on ATT, phone is all stock and was bought new with JB, my wife also has the S3 ATT stock on JB, we both have the same issue.
Here is what ive tried...
1.) Hard reset and complete wipe.
2.) Clearing Maps, Cache and deleting/reisntalling Maps
3.) GPS Status App and clearing data
4.) Tighten screws on back cover thought to help gps antenna
5.) NV Rebuild
6.) Google location settings default and reset
Each one will reset the GPS, and some have made it work for a few days, but in the end, it always comes back. This is the same on my wifes S3.
Ive never done any custom roms or anthing, phone is all stock NO Root. I dont not want to do anything to the phone that requires anything like that.
Does anyone have any other suggestions? Its driving me crazy!!

Odin is a program that will flash complete stick firmware. There us the option of rooted stock firmware or unrooted stock.
This issue was common and flashing thru Odin solved it for most.

I thought that problem was from people whom upgraded from ICS to JB. Both our phones never had ICS installed, they had JB from the factory.
If both phones are new and have stock roms without root, why not go to an Att service center and get them replaced.
Stock phones from the carrier shouldn't have any issues like you described.

its unfortunate that you have to deal with this kind of stuff. especially after already having had them replaced.
really, though, it appears you only have 3 options:
- keep the phones and just keep doing the small fixes
- return them and see what your options are with the carrier
- flash stock in odin and see if that provides a permanent fix
i think you were wary of odin but there are stock/non-root firmware downloads here that you can use. this route would require you to backup your devices (save what you want to your computer).
i would then:
-boot into stock recovery and wipe data and cache
-pull battery, replace and immediately press vol down + home + power to enter download mode
-follow thread instructions to flash stock firmware but leave the auto reboot option in odin unticked
-after the success message, pull battery, replace and press vol up + home + power to enter recovery mode
-wipe data and cache again. reboot
let us know what you're thinking about doing
Hi xda, I hope your Friday is going well.
EDIT: My calling problem was not fixed. I reflashed 4.4.2 NB4 Modem (twice to make sure it stuck) and the calling still does not work. Did something just completely fry when I had CM11 on this thing? Any ideas anybody? I don't even hear a dial tone if I am the one dialing out, the call still goes through though.
Everything below was my original post which has been resolved, didn't want to start a new thread though.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TL;DR: My T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4 (SGH-M919) is unable to boot stock rom, and I am unable to enter recovery. I get seandroid messages trying to do either. Fortunately, the phone can enter download mode. What do I need to do or flash to get this phone booting again? Thank you in advance for taking the time to read and help out.
Below is the long story with details:
1. The phone was given to me running stock Android/TouchWiz. Unfortunately, I do not know what version but I assume it was whatever was the latest version as of late April.
2. I rooted the phone using Odin and CF Auto Root.
3. I created a backup of this newly rooted stock rom.
4. I flashed Cyanogenmod 11
5. After a while I discovered that I could answer calls but I could not hear nor be heard during the call.
6. I restored to the stock rom using the backup I made in step 3.
7. The calling issue continued, so I figured I would just unroot and go back to like-new factory settings. This way I could take the phone in to be repaired or whatever.
8. Following this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2336392, I attempted to flash k0nane's UVUAMDL Official Tar
9. Odin got stuck connecting to my device, I believe it was because I did not run Odin as admin. I pulled the battery and repeated this step while running Odin as admin.
10. The flash was successful, however during the phone's first boot it got stuck on the T-Mobile splash screen for about 30 minutes or so. I pulled the battery again.
11. Anytime I put the battery back in the phone, it will attempt to boot and hang at the T-Mobile screen, I believe this is a boot loop?
Looking online, people suggest going into recovery and wiping but I cannot enter recovery. I just get the seandroid not enforcing messages. I'm very hesitant to keep looking through the forums and trying things because I feel like I'm on the edge of bricking the phone if I haven't already.
I don't think the flash was successful because it wouldn't give you those messages, and you would need to flash either 4.3 or 4.4.2 not 4.2.2 (MDL) Try flashing a newer firmware version.. If it was updated to the newest then I would try 4.4.2

Ok so I flashed the wrong rom then. I hate to ask but where could I find a 4.4.2 stock rom? I just found a rom I believe will work but the file is titled "M919UVUFNB4_M919TMBFNB4_TMB" not sure if this is 4.4.2 or newer?

This is where I obtained the rom above that I wasn't sure was the newest.
I flashed this rom and everything worked, thank you both.
Any ideas on what happened with the phone call issue? My friend that gave me the phone said it was working just fine when she had it, so I assume somehow the rooting or CM11 screwed something up? Weirdly, calling through WiFi works just fine.

The only thing that can foul up your phone like that would be a bad cm flash or preflash, it's super important to read and read again, check the thread for support from members and resolutions to problems before you consider the build for your phone. Ask questions and double check everything before you take the plunge.
I assume that the calling problem is fixed, a corrupt modem may cause that and re flashing the modem will correct this.

No, I only flashed the NB4 modem bin found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2678774. I need to flash the whole NB4 tar twice as well?

I flashed the NB4 tar from sammobile twice, calls still not working. I feel like I'm not flashing the correct thing or something.
Using the Android System Info app, every entry has something in it except for Radio. It just says "Radio: unknown". Does this have anything to do with anything?

My friend gave the phone to me. She got an S5 and didn't want to bother with selling this S4 so she just gave it to me. It was completely pure and stock, with calls working. Something screwed up during the CM11 flash I guess.
WiFi calls still work, everything works except calls.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong? I flashed the sammobile NB4 tar twice via PDA in Odin as usual. For the modem, I flashed the modem bin via Phone in Odin twice. Thank you for your help, by the way.
New term for CM, "complicated maneuver" ,.
Reflashing firmware may do it. Can't hurt either.

I think something definitely went wrong.. Try flashing this firmware, it flashes better for most people http://www.cheatersedge.org/android/m919/M919UVUFNB4_M919TMBFNB4_TMB_FENNY_FIXED.zip after that, factory reset and if that still doesn't work then you have a bigger problem.. Good luck!

I flashed both Fenny's firmware and a baseband he also provided. Did both twice, and calls are still not working.
I was doing some research on this whole "Radio: Unknown" thing and I started seeing threads talking about flashes corrupting the phone's EFS partition. I never made a backup of mine, so I have nothing to restore to. Is it possible that I could use someone else's EFS backup and then use it to restore my phone's EFS partition? Does it work like that?

No it will not work, this is device specific afaik.. Like I said earlier, I recommend you call T-Mobile for a replacement

Flashing modems and such with a custom rom installed often fails. Did you try doing a restore to full stock using Odin?
It sounds like the phoen has Android 4.4 on it already so you will need to flash the full 4.4 package (can't go back to 4.3 or 4.2)
Try and, boot hte phoen without modifying it, and see if calls work then.
The EFS thing is about the IMEI number. Does your device show an IMEI number in settings? If it does, your EFS isn't the problem. If it doesn't....well then yeah. Problem is pretty much narrowed down.

I have restored the phone to full stock and have been using it that way since I started this thread. Everything is just like fresh from the factory (except for the knox counter being tripped obviously). Calls still didn't work. An IMEI number still shows up the phone's settings. Using WiFi calling hasn't been that bad at all, but I'm screwed in the case of a real emergency with this thing.
Ok where's what I've done.
Went from 4.3 to 4.4 CM11 and since then I have no GPS fix at all, no detection of satelite with gps status.
Even after 1h gpsfix gets not location.
I've tried a wipe
Réinstallation of cm11
New Kernel.
Installation of the stock 4.4 rom still having the same problem!
New Kenel
Flashing the most updated modem.
Here's my info

Download the Google Specific No SSL version (first download link). Flash that in recovery. See if that helps.
If it doesn't, try the next one, the Google specific one with SSL
If that doesn't work, look further down the list and use the one specific to your carrier.
If that doesn't work...I dunno.
You will likely have to flash this again when you update the ROM. But no big deal. You can do it in recovery right after you flash the ROM update.

Yep. @kiruba8 is right. You have to delete the GPS cached data and give it some time and it will fix itself.

That was extraordinarily uncalled for.
I pointed to to where I had laid on detailed instructions on what you shoudl try first.
Why you are resorting to name calling because of it is beyond me. Good luck fixing your problem.....on your own.

I agree postmeridianlyf please go open your own tread as I don't wanna have name calling on mine, I want and answers...
Well see, I asked if op got it working. I appreciate your help in the thread but I'm not going to go flashing files without finding out if it worked or not... Seeing as it didn't, I'll gladly leave.

Hi,
So here's what I've done.
First Im pretty sure its related to the modem or radio? is it the same? I remember flashing a 4.3 rom from 4.2 and the network wasnt working so I had to flash a md5 modem.
Now I tried flashing official 4.2.2
No go.
Upgrading official to 4.3
No go
Upgrading official to 4.4
No go
Now I'm back on CM 11 because I like the rom.
I don't know what to do next...

If you have flashed official firmware then it is not radio/modem related. It would be hardware related. This is the reason I stay away from CM. It works perfect while you use it but once you go back to TW it causes conflicts for me most of the time. I have used GPS status and cleared the cached GPS data and downloaded the GPS data and it fixes itself within minutes. I also have at least 2 users that had your same issue use the app and followed the instructions and confirmed the method to be working. I believe that CM leaves remnants of the system that cause a conflict with any other system. I had a full wipe file in my extsd but deleted it somehow. I can't remember where I got it from but it does wonders. It wipes everything and prevents leftover crap from the previous ROM or system so there is no conflicts. For example there is a folder in my internal SD called wicked ROM that I cannot delete for the life of me! The only way that I could get rid of it would be going back to stock or flashing the full wipe zip that I no longer have because I lost it. Anyway I will try to find this zip and share with you and you can flash you ROM after. Hopefully it will work for ya.

I'm in the exact same boat as the op... And I've tried all the same steps to fix it (including the gps app) but with no luck. Only difference being that I'm not on CM. I'm on the 4.4.2 GE ROM (aosp)
Any help here would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks fellas
