Hello wonderful community!
I write this in equal parts shame and anguish. I thought I knew what I was doing, apparently something went wrong. Here's the situation.
Was on Paranoid Android 4.4 BETA 1 and flashed Paranoid Android 4.4 RC1
PA 4.4 RC 1 had Google sync problems, so I decided to jump to DJL4.4Custom FLO 06-03-14 (Latest) w/recommended GAPPS
WiFi wouldn't turn on. (Would hang saying "WiFi turning on...") <-- Main problem. Can't sync, etc.
Factory resetted and did a lot of wiping - to no avail.
Now stuck in an apparent bootloop of the startup animation of DLJ4.4.
Help please!?!
This absolutely sucks. If anyone can help, please let me know. I've been using WugFresh's toolkit when needed. I did all of the flashing above via Nexus 7 only however.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

The lack of WiFi connectivity problem is ROM issue. If you have TWRP you can sideload a ROM onto it.

Thanks for your reply. I've since tried to revert back to the ROM that I was using and the WiFi is still stuck in the "Turning on WiFi" part. Could I flash a kernel instead? All ROM, GAPPS, and Kernel zip installs have been done with full wipes.

Should be able to. I use ElementalX. Very stable and fast. You can flash AOSP kernel too. When 4.4.3 first hit there were some issues that were quickly patched. Some have not worked the patch into their ROM yet.

I've now tried to flash back to stock and the WiFi still doesn't want to fully turn on. =/ I'm going to try to flash some ROMs and Kernels to see what I get.
Thanks Linear. I'm discouraged but hopeful.

I tried to install that paranoid android rom.I keep getting an error 7. it says no target device found. I've tried 1.9 .4, 1.9 .5, 1.9.6 and now 1.9 .7. It looks like an awesome rom but I can't install it. I get the same error with the cm 10. Presently I'm running the vicious ROM (jellybean). I wipe everything before trying to install the ROM but nothing works. I can install the maguro version with no problems other than I don't have phone service. I want this ROM bad and need some guidance.

How are you trying to flash the ROM? In recovery?

Yes, clockwork mod. I've also tried to manually do it in recovery, still get the status 7 error. I tried the supersu mod, no success. I have the Verizon gnex. This is week 2 of failed attempts. Do I have to start with a stock rom first?
Hope you are getting roms from Verizon thread not i9250

This.
The reason why you didn't have service with a maguro ROM is because that is for the gsm version.
You want the toro builds. Hopefully you can get your radio back.
if not you'll have to flash the stock Google image.

If you mean status 7 error, I have that with my Vibrant and have to change to a different version of clockworkmod. Try flashing an older version of CWM in fastboot.

This is likely the OP's issue. There are just too many incompatibilities with the newer recoveries. If you stick with 5.5.0.2 (for maguro), and 5.5.0.4 (for toro), you will see that you will have significantly less issues...
I have a Verizon galaxy nexus with paranoid rom all you do is go back to stick ics and use recovery to flash and it might get stuck in boot screen just take out battery and put back in and should just start up

Sucess!!
Thank you, thank you, all of you. I finally installed the rom last night and its truly awesome. I didn't know that rom manager allows you to revert to older cwm versions. That did the trick. I now have some catching up to do.
Thanks again,
Mr. Keith
I am able to flash the rom successfully using CWM Recovery, but when the Rom starts up, it does not recognize any network or mobile data. I have flashed back to stock TW Rom, and it all works fine. I would love to give this rom a shot, but I would rather be able to use my phone. Please let me know how to get service and mobile data using this rom on my TMo SGH-T889 (Galaxy Note II). Thanks!

As far as i've seen from other posts, some versions of CWM cause issues with the baseband when flashing ROMs
TWRP does not have this issue.

After installing TWRP on my TMo Note 2, I flashed PA 3.99 + GApps and it seems like everything is working fine. I have data and phone connectivity!
Since Paranoid Android was not working with CWM, does that mean that there might be certain ROMs that will not work with TWRP?

I've not heard of any problems with TWRP (that does not mean they don't exist), also the issue with CWM only seemed to appear after a certain update (can't recall the number). Older version work without issue.
So I guess I spoke a little too soon. I was able to get data and cell connectivity, but it only lasted a couple hours and then disconnected. Any idea what is happening?

Are you running the latest recovery? 4.4 ROMs require the latest TWRP or CWM.

I successfully updated my Nexus 7 to 4.4.3 and it was working great until last night the Wifi just stopped working. It will not search for wifi, or if it does let me turn it on it won't scan or find anything. I did flash a new kernel to it earlier, but it was working fine. I tried to reflash 4.4.3 and it just fails using fast boot, or adb sideload. I have tried searching the forum, but since 4.4.3 just came out it seems that I am the only one that I can see with this issue.
I also did a factory reset using TWRP but still nothing.
Details that may help are as follows:
Nexus 7 (2013)
Rooted w/ Franco Kernel ( unless it will reflash the stock )
TWP 2.7 installed
Any help would be appreciated. I will keep working on doing a factory restore and then reflashing back to 4.4.3 and see if that works.

This.
Anyone using a customer kernel needs to wait until the kernel is updated to 4.4.3.

At the very least you need to flash the stock 4.4.3 boot image if that's where you're at now. I would also flash the system image just to be safe and to make sure you clean up any leftover files from the custom kernel, If there are any.
This patch fix WIFI for me

I was stupid and updated the kernel without thinking, and as others have sad that is obviously the issue. This is what happens when you are sleep deprived and have full time summer classes.
I did a reflash of everything. For some reason my Nexus is really slow to accept new software. When I flashed 4.4.3 to it again it failed, and I went to bed because it was late. The next morning I went to fix it and it was booting up just fine, although because it accepted the reflash I had to re set up my apps which is no big deal.
Thanks again for the help, I will learn how to fix these things on my own someday.

I'm glad you got it working again! I personally had to learn the hard way not to be flashing kernels or any other images when I had one eye open. I keep copies of all the unzipped factory images on my computer and over the last few years have managed to grab images from the wrong folder more than once. ; ) Using the sdk it was never a big deal straightening it out but still!
Hello,
I am very new to rooting, and just rooted my Sprint LG G2 with 4.4.2 KitKat through IORoot 25 and then used AutoRec as my TWRP. I then downloaded Cyanogenmod11 from its website onto my phone, and tried to flash install it through AutoRec. However, when I try to install the CM11 ROM, I get the "MD5 not found" message, and when I try to reboot after this, my phone goes into what I think is Bootloop (the LG home screen continuously turns on for a couple seconds, then stops for a split second, and then turns back on for a couple seconds). Fortunately, I am was able to hard restart my phone by holding Power and Volume Up together while this screen is on, and I was able to restore my phone with the backup I made, and my phone is now working fine with the stock ROM. Has anyone else had this problem before, and if so is there a better way for my to install custom ROM, and/or fix that MD5 message? Does anyone know what that MD5 message means?
One other note, I have been doing some reading and I currently have ZVC radio. I'm not sure what this means exactly, but would this make a difference?
Thanks!

Interesting, thanks. Are there any ROMs that work for 4.4.2 that people have been using, or am I pretty much stuck with the stock ROM until CM is updated?
Cloudyfa has some in the G2 android development forum. There are some others that will work with sprint.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2702958
i simply downloaded the one here and installed, (skipped all the steps and just put it in the internal memory and flashed it)
Now its working well. ill let you know if any problems arise.
