Help! No wifi after n5110 kitkat update

Help! I just updated the firmware on my GT-N5110 to US Cellular South 4.4.2 (from 4.2.2), both downloaded from SamMobile. I used Mobile Olin to do the update, and everything seems to work, except I can't turn on the WIFI - the software switch simply won't turn on. I even wiped the data and restored to factory settings, but still no WIFI.
I had made a backup copy of my 4.2.2 install which is on my ext storage, but I lost root, and my ROM manager install, so I'm unable to restore the backup, and booting to stock system recovery doesn't recognize my backup.
I installed Kies on my Win7 laptop, but the laptop doesn't seem to recognize the tablet when I plug it in, so it doesn't seem that I can use Olin 3.07 to re-flash 4.2.2.
So, I need some help,
Thanks in advance!

Mobile odin doesn't flash the new bootloader which is required for wifi to work on the new 4.4.2 roms. You can either flash the new bootloader through Odin for PC, or flash Civato's custom kernel which fixed wifi without needing to flash the new bootloader. Check Civ's thread in the dev section.

Sounds like he can't flash because no root or custom recovery. Can't Odin because no root and PC won't recognize the device.
I would wonder why the PC can't recognize the device and work on fixing that. Did you try uninstalling/re-installing the PC driver, different USB ports, different PC, etc? You don't need Kies installed for Odin to work as long as the PC has proper drivers and recognizes the device.

Thanks for the replies and feedback. Is there a thread that explains how to install Windows drivers without using Kies?

Strange, root shouldn't be required to flash with PC Odin. Like you said, he just needs the correct windows USB drivers and to put the device in download mode.

Just Google "Samsung USB drivers" and you should be able to find the file. Once you do, download it and install on your PC. Then put your device in download mode, start Odin, connect the device to your PC via USB and try to flash again.

I have the same problem, after 4.4.2 OTA update, wifi is not working.

[Q] Trying to install firmware, but Odin failed and now phone won't boot

I was trying to install the latest firmware on my son's M919 via Odin 3.09. I downloaded M919UVUFNB4_M919TMBFNB4_TMB from SAMMOBILE and went to Odin to install. The installation failed. The error said Fail (auth). Now when the phone boots, it goes to a screen that says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again." I downloaded both versions of Kies, but neither one can see the phone in Firmware emergency recovery. I can still get into Download mode, but have been unable to successfully flash any stock firmware. I notice on the screen that the phone says SYSTEM STATUS: Official and WRITE PROTECTION: Enable. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

It is possible that the file you downloaded from sammobile did not finish correctly and is corrupt. Try redownloading it and try it again. I dont think it will make any difference but I usually will use odin 3.07.

I have downloaded files a couple of times. Even downloaded the file from the post in the General section of this forum. Used 3.09 and 3.07, all with the same results. I am using Windows 8 if that makes a difference. May try it on Windows 7 when I get a chance.

I used to have that a problem with my desktop that has windows 8. Recently I have been using my windows 7 laptop. There are different drivers needed when you are in download mode, plug it in when the phone is in download mode and let it search and find the drivers. You might even want to reinstall the samsung mobile drivers. I would also recommend to use the usb cable that came with the device. Best of luck.

It finds the drivers. I have done this on my Note 8.0 without issue. Not sure why this phone is giving me such grief.

The phone does show up in Odin in the com box correct? Even so I would still just do it on a Windows 7 computer.

Uninstall kies and try again. You can also try different USB ports

Had you previously been using the modem/baseband from a firmware that you weren't officially on? i.e. NB4 modem/baseband on either MDL or MK2 bootloader? If so, revert just the modem to your bootloader version and then attempt the Odin flash again.

Honestly, I am not sure which version he was on. I had assumed the latest or at least 4.3. How would I install just the modem?

Yes, Odin sees that there is a device on the COM port.

Success. Windows 7, 4.4.2, and Odin 1.85. Flashed without issue. Thanks everyone.

NOTE II SERIES OF ISSUES - stuck on bootloader/unrooted/stock firmware - odin fails

hi,
my galaxy note 2, running on original firmware is stuck on bootloader. When I tried to put in recovery it shows :- Failed to mount system no such directory issue. I tried to use ODIN to root it but usb debugging was never activated. I'm stuck. What to do? Please help.

You do not need USB debugging to root via Odin.
I suggest starting over by first flashing a stock rom from sammobile.com using Odin.

Are you talking about recovery or 'download mode'. You need to be in download mode not recovery to use Odin from Windows.
Make sure you have the right version of Odin.
Just make sure you have the samsung phone drivers installed AND if you can avoid it don't install KEIS if you're going to use ODIN.
This causes problems.
It should come up in device manager.
Run Odin as administrator.
It shouldn't matter if USB debugging is activated or not.
If you're going to flash fresh firmware.
Just make sure if you're upgrading to stock (TW) Android 4.3 or above you don't downgrade back to 4.2.2
Make sure you read instructions on how to flash with ODIN.
Choose the firmware file in the wrong tab and you have a bricked device.
After flashing new firmware (if that's what needs doing) then flash custom recovery. Don't forget to wipe the right areas.
Wow I haven't done this for like 2 years it seems and I'm operating off memory.
Theres some nuggets of advice.
Good Luck

What Odin errors are you getting? You're using the original Samsung USB cable? Tried different USB ports?

hey, this error!

Since it is stopping after the sboot file, it could be that the rom has an older bootloader than the bootloader on the phone or the rom is not made for the phone.
You're using the original Samsung USB cable to flash?

Best you search 'How to Enable USB Debugging using ADB' for your device as this might be the only way for your pc to recognize your device & then that's ony when you can use Odin to recovery your device.

Failed Odin flash

1) uninstall samsung kies or smartswitch
2)install samsung usb drivers if you already installed then reinstall....
3) Downnload Odin 3.09
And try again with correct firmware file.
It worked for me.
