If you don't mind losing data you can do a clean install by flashing a FTF file using Flashtool. That will flash a stock kernel and stock ROM onto your phone.
hello, all
my phone is e980(at&t), Now I use the stock rom, and I have tried some other roms. But I found that on the other roms the wifi doesn't work, the wifi mac address is 00:00:00:00:00:00. And I don't know how to fix the problem. Anyone who can tell me how to fix the problem? And which modem are you using?
If u never changed modem, returning back to stock rom
by nandroid backup or flashing kdz should solve it.
Till now i installed almost every available custom rom and i never had to change modem.
Wifi data and bluetooth always working with original modem.
I wouldnt recommend to flash a new modem, maybe only if have a backup from original modem, so u can go back again.
yes, I go back to the stock rom by flashing tot. The stock rom's wifi works good. But when I flash the BeanStalk 4.4, the wifi still doesn't work. And the wifi mac address is still 00:00:00:00:00:00. I really don't know how to fix this problem! Thanks a lot!!!

If everything ok on stock or 4.3 then may stay 9n them
Thanks, the problem is that I flashed some 4.3 roms and the wifi still doesn't work. I have to use the stock rom which is still 4.1.2. Now Ihave no other roms can use except the stock rom!

So I had no GPS after I flashed the MK2 modem. Can you lose GPS from going from Kit Kat back to Jelly Bean? I was on 4.2.2, then flashed 4.4.2, installed MK2, then decided to go try 4.3. What do you think? I ended up making a complete flash to Samsung Original Stock firmware MDL and finally, I see the birdies.

Totally weird. I just don't know what caused it.
Sent from my GT-I9505G using xda app-developers app
I'm the exact opposite.. I had lost my GPS a few months back. Nothing restored it; different ROMs, GPS status apps from the Play Store, full restore to stock (both MDB and MDL) via Odin, etc. It wasn't until I flashed MK2 modem/bb that my GPS came back. :highfive:

Could you tell me which instructions you used for making the switch to MK2? There seems to be a lot of guides now and I'm in the same position that you were in, so I'd like to use whatever worked for you!

Both this and this do the same thing; I can't remember which exact one I followed, but they both end up with the same result.
Hi,
My LS970 works fine with the stock ROM (4.0.4) but as soon as I install a custom ROM with Kitkat neither 3G, 4G or Wifi work. I have tried CM11, JellyBam and SlimBeans but all show the same behavior. Does anybody have this working or an idea what could be wrong?
Cheers!

If your on Stock 4.0.4 that should be ZV9 and that radio won't work for JB and any CM Rom's. You need to upgrade your radio.
There are a few options:
Let your phone upgrade to ZVC. It should be trying to do that already.
Or, if you are rooted and unlocked already and have TWRP, then you can flash the radio/modem. I would also recommend using a Stock based Rom to start.
The flashable radio/modems are here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40169203
The Stock Rom I would use is here. http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23212708291680187
So in recovery, flash the radio, then the ROM. It might not hurt to flash the radio a second time before you reboot.

I couldn't go back to stock and use the OTA because I have been told that using the OTA stock update will brick the phone if the bootloader is unlocked. So I have downloaded the file LS970ZVC-M9615A-CEFWMAZM-3.0.10646 from your link and flashed it.
WIFI works now. Thanks! But I still don't have 3G or LTE. Any ideas what else could be missing?
Thanks again! I was already ready to throw out the phone and get a Nexus 5.

Try flashing a stock rom, the one linked above. Then go to Settings>System Updates and update profile and prl. You can also go to Settings>Activate this device after those 2. This is the only way we can update those. CM/AOSP can't do that. That should get you going.

Sometimes I have to dirty flash "flash rom zip again over top of original flash" without wiping dalvik or anything to get signals to pick up and I'm current on Zvc , prl , ect. Never hurts anything and always seems to work if the traditional way doesn't, if you see this problem again might try.
Hey guys, short background, upgraded to the HTC one at my brothers urging (showed me how sweet the phone can be after rooting and installing custom ROMs) and I absolutely love the phone. I bought the phone this last Sunday (Mar 2) and unlocked it with s-OFF, and installed the Viper 5.0 rom without too much trouble (had my brothers help). Since then I have come to learn that when making phone calls the only way for them to work properly is by using a headset with a mic built in. If I have the headset unplugged the call will go through (either receiving or making) but once it is picked up on either end there is no sound at all, even with speakerphone active. When someone calls me, my phone will ring, but again, no sound on either end.
I also never used the phone to make any calls before I rooted the phone, but I have ran a recovery back to stock ROM and still nothing. I have spent a lot of time on google searching the issue and everything I came across basically said get a new phone. Although it is annoying as hell, I would like to explore every option of fixing it before I take it back, and I think you guys can help!
Some friends have suggested updating radio's, and trying different ROM's, but to be honest I'm not sure I fully understand how to flash/run other ROM's on my own (my bro did most of the work while I watched) . I did reinstall the kernel I was using (ElementalX something) and reset all my power settings back to stock, but that didn't help any. Sorry for the wall of text but any help will be appreciated. Also, feel free to dumb it down for a HTC noob here
Thanks in advance!
p.s. using the HTC one 5.0 Viper ROM ElementalX kernel
Do you know if your brother ever updated it to the kitkat firmware? Running a kitkat rom with jellybean firmware is known to cause call issues. I would update the firmware using fastboot. You will need a pc with adb setup, and this file http://vzw1files.dyndns.org/FIRMWARE/3.11.605.1_firmware.zip If you feel up to trying it your self i can tell you how to do it.
Awesome man, that was it. Had to update the firmware/radio and now it works like a charm! Thanks very much!
Ok, so what I thought worked initially is no longer working . After I updated firmware/radio here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485319 my phone started working correctly. After that I went on to download a HTC one color theme, and thats when problems started happening!
After I downloaded the theme and got my phone set up just the way I wanted it, it started freezing on me at the HTC splash screen. So after much deliberation I wiped everything back to the stock ROM and proceeded to reinstall my Viper 5.0 ROM and ElementalX kernel. During this process my phone went back to it's original problem of not wanting to give me any sound during phone calls. So I re-updated the firmware/radio again using the same zip file and steps that I had before from the link above ^^^ and my phone started restarting itself on its own, over and over. After I got into the recovery and yet again restored it back to stock roms and settings, the phone sound worked again. So, again, I installed the Viper 5.0 rom and elementalX kernel and checked to see if the phone was working properly, which everything was except for the phone sound (yet again). After another installation of the above firmware/radio update my phone decided to start restarting on its own again!!!
So currently I have wiped the ROM back to stock settings, and have not touched a thing! From what I understand there is not a problem with the ROM or the kernel (my brother is using the same files from my computer on his HTC one without any problems) but in my firmware/radio files. I have looked up a few firmware updates on my own but am hesitant to install them because I don't know if they're compatible with my phone/viper ROM. Again any help would be awesome, and I thank you in advance!!!!!!

You only need to flash the firmware/radios one time.
If you read the firmware radio install instructions in my thread, you should be using the one without the Boot.img/kernel.
The stock kernel is not gonna work on Viper apparently.
So you either flash the firmware which includes the stock Boot.img and then flash your choice of custom rom, or flash custom rom and then flash the firmware without the Boot.img that I posted.
If you are getting the files from my thread, that's where the instructions and proper files are located.
But once you have flashed the firmware it doesn't change until you flash new firmware again, no point in doing it over and over.
Flash firmware then Viper or use the one I posted without the stock kernel(boot.img)
So if you have no sound after updating firmware, flashing Viper and then a custom kernel, the issue is your kernel/rom combo.
You can flash any of the firmwares here http://vzw1files.dyndns.org/FIRMWARE/, or the ones from post 2 of santods stock rom thread in development. But it is recomended to match the firmware with the rom. So kk rom kk firmware, jb rom jb firmware. To me it sounds like a rom issue, a kernel issue, or a incompatibility between the two. But you said your bro is using it just fine so i dont know.
Does viper come with its own custom kernel built in, or does it just use the stock one?

Thanks Santod, so far that appeared to have done the trick. Stayed up well into the AM last night to get this phone figured out. I downloaded your firmware without the Boot.img, flashed the custom rom, and then flashed the firmware and everything has been working so far.
If I could ask you two more quick questions, What is the significance of having the Boot.img or not having the Boot.img? And if down the road I install a new ROM and factory reset the phone, wont I have to update the firmware again?

The Boot.img is basically the kernel and the files that initiate it(ramdisk).
If you are on a custom rom, you do not need nor want the stock kernel.
Most custom roms have a nice custom kernel included that is known to work on their rom.
If you simply wanted a stock rom and full stock firmware, then you would be using the stock kernel/boot.img.
As I stated above, the firmware doesn't change until you flash new firmware.
Flashing a new rom is not gonna overwrite the firmware, as it's done in fastboot, not in Recovery.
So if you flash a new rom, your firmware will not change and does not need to be flashed again until a newer one is posted.
A factory reset just resets your current rom to fresh install state, it doesn't effect firmware at all.
