[Q] WiFi not working on T-Mobile 4.3 Leak

Hello,
I've been having trouble getting WiFi to turn on for DocHoliday's T-Mobile 4.3 leak ROM. I'm coming from Stock UVDMD5 4.1.2. I performed a full wipe (formatted system, data, cache, dalvik cache) before installing the new modem and the rom. At first, data and wifi weren't working. After flashing the new modem again, data worked. WiFi however isn't fixed. When I turn WiFI on, it immediately turns off. Does anybody else have this problem? I also cannot access the internal storage on this phone via a computer.

I downloaded the PureStock version. I performed an MD5 check and it verified with the one posted on the site.

What time did you download it? The first upload was corrupted and would only be about 400-500mbps in size. That was kinda early this morning though. You may want to consider redownloading.
Another thing to try is go to saranhai's AT&T port and download and flash the kernel at the bottom of the first post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2501303
If that doesn't work, Odin flash.the root66 firmware, then try again.
And I don't ever suggest wiping /system prior to flashing a Rom. The Rom will do that for you, and if it won't flash for some reason you could get stuck with a device with no O/S!
The only time I had WiFi not work was due to a kernel btw. But I never released it so that shouldn't be the cause here...

I downloaded it after you edited the post saying that the upload was corrupted and that a new one was posted on the directory folder. I checked the MD5sum of the file that I downloaded and it matched the one on the site.
I'll download the kernel on the AT&T thread you mentioned. I'll keep you posted. I appreciate your help, Doc.

With due Respect, @Vigz if you had a suspected issue with Doc's Leaked Rom, why didn't you post it there ? What did you expect to achieve by opening another thread ?
Clearly you did know what the thread was and where it is.

Alright, my bad. Anyway DocHoliday, I was able to get WiFi working again thanks to the kernel on the AT&T port. Everything is working smoothly. Thanks once again DocHoliday!
EDIT: Uh oh, it seems like SuperSU keeps getting blocked. SELinux status is set to: Enforcing SEPF_SAMSUNG-SGH-I747_4.3_0010

Try rebooting. That should solve it. If not flash the same kernel again. I know it's weird, but it's worked for others.
And you're not the only one who had this happen btw. I'm suspecting I made a little mistake and copied the wrong boot.img. If I did, I apologize for the problems.

Alright, SELinux is now set to permissive. But for some reason, the SuperSU app gets blocked. I receive a notification that says, "SuperSU attempted to access system on your device without authorization. This attempt has been blocked, etc."

That's Knox "protecting" you from you!

Lol, you know what they say, you're your own worst enemy.
Once you flash the insecure kernel from AT&T, you should maintain root most of the time, it will read "Permissive" instead of Enforcing-SGH-i747 blah blah
Doc and I have disabled KNOX/CarrierIQ/SELinux for the most part in the build.prop and even removed the files.

[Q] Wi-fi issues across the board. What should I do?

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 ?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app

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.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app

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.

So close! Hmm it could be hardware I'm not sure either. What are the wifi settings? Also are there any error messages? Did you wipe data after Odin?
Sent from my N7105 using xda app-developers app

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.

Its weird that it was working and now its not wiping data couldnt hurt. Do you have Odin 3.0.9? Flash that tar file again and make sure bootloader update is checked.

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.

[Q] GT-N7105t and DN3 rom v3.2

Hi,
I have been a lurker for a while now, have not contributed before as usually any problem i have had someone else has had and posted a solution, but i have ran into a problem i can't seem to find a solution for and while some have had similar problems there has been different causes.
So here is my problem.
I have the above mentioned GT-N7105t Note II. not locked to any carrier. I have tried a few roms and really like the DN3 but the Phone app FC's on me. this is what i have done so far.
1. Factory reset
2. Root device
3. instal through twrp the dn3 rom
4. used the 4.3 boot loader with the N7105 MK5 kernel.
5. phone boots up fine and every thing seemed to work.
6. updated to v3.2, again everything seemed fine, wifi, gps,camera, sms. but never tried the phone as i was receiving sms i thought it was all good.
7. loaded Xposed installer and the tweaks/files i like.
8. received a call and the phone app Fc'd
from then on i went back to square one and the phone app Fc's from the very first instal even straight after clean fresh instal.
would this be a Modem problem? cause i tryed reinstall from the stock 4.3 rom and still does the same. sms messages come through fine, but receive a call or try to use the phone app and it dc's and the actual connection stops to for a few seconds to about 30, i gather this is because the app crashes.
anyone have any ideas? i have like i said done a search but can't find anyone with exact same problem.
Cheers

Which bootloader did you use ? The one in the op is for American variants only, it isn't for the n7105 anyway.

Not sure if this will help but give it a try, extract secphone from stock 4.3 and replace the one in your phone, set permission, reboot. I am no expert, but you can give it a try.

Thanks for advice. I gave up and went back to stock. Till 2 weeks ago. Now on DN3 +5 and everything is great except for gps. Doesn't work at all and all the fix advice on here doesn't work either.

Ok gps seems to be working for most people. Can you post in the main at&t thread what option you picked in aroma, any mods you have made/flashed, which bootloader, which kernel, which model/operator and where abouts in the world you are. If we can find something you have in common we can fix it

That would be great. I have tried everything I can think of. Was going to look at if maybe i needed to flash a modem.
My permissions are rw-r--r--
Would the Knox have anything to do with it as I have mine tripped. It didn't worry me at the time but if that could be a cause I'll kick myself.

[Q] What do I flash to get SGH-M919 working again?

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.

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.

[Q] GPS does not work

Hello
I have SGH-M919. First, it had stock ROM, stock firmware, and it was SIM locked to T-Mobile, so I unlocked it with SRS server service (I live outside the US, so labs in my area didn't have the tools to unlock it, since it's only a US variant. Also, other methods of unlocking did not work for me, unfortunately).
In the unlocking process I had to flash custom modem file with Odin (it was required for SRS to work). After that, I flashed CWM and CM11 and everything worked fine except the GPS. It didn't work: no GPS satellites were found.
How can I resolve this issue? Thanks.

Go to the CyanogenMob forum. There are threads asking the same question regarding CM11

I will try there, thanks. Although I have to mention that I think that's the problem isn't with CM but the modem file/kernel/etc

If it might be the modem or kernel then you can try re flashing the modem or trying a new kernel. You'll see a lot of GPS issues being asked about in the CM threads, tho.

Just flash the stock modem since you said it was modified, unless its still needed.. However, many users have lost GPS after flashing aosp/cm.. The fix is simple. First make a nandroid backup, flash a touchwiz ROM, get a GPS lock, and then restore your nandroid.

Sorry, forgot to mention that I already tried flashing stock rom but GPS didn't work (it did work before the unlocking), so it has to be a modem problem. I couldn't find a stock modem file anywhere.
Currently I'm downloading another stock ROM, so I will be able to bring up lbstestmode which might fix my issue.
EDIT:
The new stock ROM works fine, and the GPS was able to find signal. So, I as ou suggested and recovered the Nandroid I made before through the recovery, but now I can't find GPS again. What can I do?

NB4 modem is posted in the general section

Is this a permanent fix for GPS?

I have searched for stock modem and found this.
Unfortunately, I do have a KNOX counter in download mode so it doesn't fit.
This guide links to another modem file (that works with the KNOX bootloader), but it is for MK2, and I need BN4.. What can I do?
EDIT:
The issue is FIXED! The GPS works perfectly! Ultimately, I did install the MK2 modem and although I have 4.4.2 BN4 it works just fine.
Thanks for everyone who helped me.

Good! If you experience any issues you could flash the full NB4 firmware as well

I don't think I should, I have a bootloader with Knox (it was stated that it's only good for 4.2.2 bootloaders - ones without Knox. That's why I installed the MK2.

I'm not talking about the modem, but firmware, it will flash the modem in the process and you can flash it with your bootloader.. Like I said, if you experience problems but so far you haven't seemed to

Before I flashed the correct modem files, I flashed the latest stock firmware from Sammobile which I believe contains the NB4 modem. The GPS still didn't work, only the Mk2 modem works for me

Still, the MK2 firmware just works better for me.
Also, if I can't flash the fixed NB4 firmware because the bootloader has Knox, how will it help me if I install the non-fixed version (which is included in the firmware)? I'd be stuck with the bad NB4! There's no way to install the fixed NB4 if I have bootloader with Knox, if I understand this whole thing correctly.
P.S I am not intending to argue or anything, I am just writing what happened to me. So, if someone has the same problem and he googles it he will be able to find some useful info that took me about 2 days to find (and your generous help in this thread, of course!

The firmware will flash with your bootloader.. anyway everything is working for you so there is no need to. If in the future you change your mind or have problems PM me and I will explain or help you with it

Same here
Sent from my SGH-M919 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I noticed that I was getting bad cellular reception in an area that should have full mobile coverage. So I flashed the 4.4.2 fixed BN4 modem and the reception is way better (from one bar to 3 or 4), and the GPS is still working.
So, the BN4 modem did flash although I have bootloader with Knox (so it isn't supposed to work according the the modem thread)
P.S. I'm quite confused. Sorry for the noob question, but what's the difference between ROM and firmware? Is the firmware just a package which includes the ROM, bootloader and modem?
