I'm running cm 10.2.1 that I installed using cwm Recovery. I had to modify the update script using root explorer before the install but after doing that the install went smoothly and I haven't had any real issues with the ROM. I had almost given up trying to update to cm 11 but decided to try the install with philz recovery which actually worked. However, after the update to cm 11 my mobile data no longer works and I am not even able to connect to WiFi. At first I thought that this may have something to do with the APN settings since I am using the boost version of the sprint phone, but the APN settings on my cm 10.2.1 are set for sprint and work fine and they don't change once I install the update. Also, I don't know for sure but I don't even think that the APN being incorrectly set would effect my ability to connect to WiFi. Somebody please give me some advice on this. Thank you.

When you installed CM11, did you do clean install?
PhilZ has a setting where you can do a wipe solely for the purpose of installing a new ROM. (Philz is my one and only recovery.)
You cannot simply flash CM11 over CM10. You need to do a clean install, so you should use a backup utility to backup all your user apps. (You'll also want to download a GAPPs package that is compatible with CM11.)
APN configurations would not affect your WiFi connectivity. DIrty flashing CM11 over CM10 might, it could also be related to a custom kernel. Make sure if you're using a custom kernel, that it is compatible with whatever Android version you're using (e.g. 4.4.4)
Hope this helps.

Thank you. Yeah I tried this and it did help with my mobile data, but I am still unable to connect to WiFi. Before my WiFi icon in quick setting just stayed red and now the icon is normal but when I try to connect i get an authentication error. I know I have the password right. Not sure what to do.

What does the authentication error say?
Also, what build of CM11 are you using?
Make sure you are using the CM11 builds for d2lte:
https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=d2lte
Also, use the Philz recovery found here:
https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/d2lte/
Please help us help you. Be specific about exactly what steps you took to flash the ROM and any errors (with details) that you encounter.

In the WiFi menu I choose my network and then enter the password and first It tells me "authenticating" which is normal, but then instead of connecting it just says authentication problem. That's all it says. I have tried turning WiFi off then back on, rechecked the password, reboot the phone and everything else I can think of.
This was the same for the 08/13/14 and the 08/14/14 nightly builds for the d2lte which I downloaded from the cm updater in settings>about phone>CyanogenMod updates. I used the app root explorer to extract the zip and then went in to the update script and modified it so that I would not get a status 7 error. Then I zipped the files back up like they were only now with the modified update script, and booted into recovery. I am using philz touch 6.48.4 for the d2lte which I flashed with mobile Odin pro. I chose the clean for new ROM option and then installed the ROM and then flashed the gapps-kk-20140105-signed.zip. then I rebooted the phone and began the set up process. It seems that everything works fine other than that I am unable to connect to WiFi.
I also tried the same process, except after cleaning to install a new ROM I also wiped the dalvik cache. This had no effect.

First and foremost, those nightlies you tested are Android 4.4.4. Here is a 4.4.4 GAPPs package: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23610159112653416
Why are you tweaking the updater script? This should not be necessary. I flash ROMs just fine with PhilZ. Also, you do not need to flash recoveries via ODIN. You can download the .zip (not .md5) file and flash it in recovery. The recovery will flash the recovery over the recovery.
When you reflash the ROM and you have a fresh clean slate on the phone, unplug the router for 30 seconds to power cycle the router, and plug back in. The router may be having an issue with the MAC Address to your network card in your phone.
You can show the password in the WiFi interface to ensure that you are typing the correct password. If you suspect that you are getting the password wrong, you can go into your router's settings and change the password. (e.g. http://192.168.0.1 --> Change the security settings).
Give it another shot. Do not edit the updater script. I've never had a status 7 error. If needed, reflash the recovery as a zip file in recovery.
I hope this helps.

So.... Even after my certainty that I had the WiFi password right, it turns out that I was leaving out one letter. Wow!
Although I am still having a little issue with my mobile data. For some reason when I turn off my WiFi my mobile data goes off too. Sometimes it comes back on and sometimes it doesn't. Thanks a lit for the help.

Are you sure your mobile data is, in fact, switching off? There could just be some latency between the WiFi switching off and mobile data coming on.
You might try clean flashing the ROM again, or clean flashing a newer nightly altogether.

Do you mean these stock rooted images? Those can't be flashed with CWM - you need to use Odin to do so.
On a side note, did you remember to flash gapps when flashing whatever 4.2 ROM you were using? If not, that would be why Gmail and the like suddenly ceased to exist.
i did up the date through the cm updater so i never thought i had to
If I remember correctly, CM's built-in updater doesn't handle gapps at all - it's something you need to deal with yourself.
ohh so um just wondering where i can get the gaaps package ??and do i use ODIN to flash it on then?
gapps packages can be found here, generally, though it might be easier to - for example - install goomanager so as to more easily find out which is the right package for your particular ROM and version (the latest for 4.2-based ROMs at time of writing, for example, is this one). They are recovery-flashed (so you would use CWM to flash it if that's the recover you're using).
So I installed the latest build of cm 10.1 and the gaaps but I can't use data unless my WiFi is on..any suggestions??

There have been some hiccups with 4.2-based builds (CM 10.1 is one of them) and mobile data. Some of the things that have been suggested:
Reflashing the modem (those are available here); in particular, by following the instructions here;
Toggling your APN settings; and/or
Checking the network type setting in Settings -> More... -> Mobile networks and/or in the Phone info menu available from dialing *#*#4636#*#*.
(By the way, since you seem to be newer around here: it's considered polite around these parts to hit the "Thanks" button on posts that you find useful.)
I have one S3 that's stock and another that's rooted, so I decided to try CM9 first on rooted S3 because CM10 didn't seem quite ready for daily use. Flashed ROM and Gapps, and things were fine until wi-fi ceased functioning. Worked, then didn't ever again. Nothing I found in searching this helped. And I couldn't get to PlayStore because there was no connection. Tried many things to reset wi-fi, but despite excellent signal, the phone wasn't connected to Internet. I reflashed CM9 (same most current release) but it didn't help.
So, having not actually done anything other than adding ROM Manager, I decided to flash latest CM10 nightly with CWM recovery via ROM Manager. Everything was fine, except of course I forgot I needed to install newer Gapps. However, when I went to do so, ROM Manager was no longer there and manually trying to get recovery only resulted in download mode, which meant I couldn't install Gapps or do much of anything.
I spent time trying to figure out how to get recovery, but having run out of options, I thought it perhaps best to flash back to stock using desktop Odin. I have the MD5 for 4.1.1 LK3. So I did this, but now once past the Samsung and AT&T animations, the phone stops with a Samsung logo. And that's where I'm at.
I know I've seen threads on fixing this, but I can't find them and I would like rectify the softbrick circumstance. What to do.

Did you remember to factory reset (wipe /data) when flashing the stock ROM? That's the most common cause of soft-bricking in this scenario.
If not, boot into recovery (Vol Up + Home + Power) and do so, then try booting the phone again.
Do I do factory reset from desktop Odin in download mode?
That's one possibility, but if you don't want to go through the Odin process again, you can just do the reset from recovery as I outlined above.

Ah...volume UP. But wipe data/factory reset didn't help. If I select update from external storage, would that be MD5 or...?
Okay, I wiped cache partition and I'm in business. No more softbrick. Thanks!
I am having a strange issue where I cannot connect to Wi-Fi after I turn it off the first time!
If I flash a new nightly the phone will start up and connect to my Wi-Fi network, however when I try to change networks I am never able to connect to another again until I flash again, I just get "Failed to Connect to Network"
Is this just a nightly issue or is it some error with how I flashed it?

Try going into Settings > Wi-Fi > Advanced and change frequency band from auto to 2.4 or 5 depending on what speed your AP(modem) accepts.

Try selecting your AP in Wi-Fi settings and pick forget, rescan or it should auto rescan and find it, try entering in info again and see if that resolves it, another thing to check is what security type you are using on your Modem/AP's - it's a common issue if you have it set to WPA/WPA2-PSK, change it to one of the two, so it's not on both, WPA2-PSK is the best if others on your Wi-Fi can use it too.

Sounds like you might have some data corruption issue then, what recovery and version of it are you using? the recovery must be TWRP 2.6.1.0 or CWM 6.0.3.7+
If you have one of those recovery versions then try an advanced wipe.

Yes, wipe System too, it cant hurt to wipe all except internal/external SD's, preload shouldn't need to be wiped unless you were coming from stock or pre 4.3 rom, if you really want to wipe preload, do it separate, from TWRP you click settings and check 'uses rm -rf instead of format', wipe preload and then go back to setting and uncheck before wiping other partitions.

Using Odin/towelroot/twrp I was able to flash CM12 on my tab pro 8.4 but after flashing gapps none of the google apps actually work - they all say that google play service is required. I tried flashing different gapps packages and also directly installing just the google play services APK.
I done a full wipe then attempted to reflash CM12 but the flash would just hang on "skipping md5 verification" or whatever it says and nothing is ever shown on the progress bar. Only way of getting out is to hold the power button and turn the tablet off which of course breaks it. Luckily I can use odin to flash the stock firmware and have my tablet working again. However I was very impressed with the new android and would really like to run it. Is there a way to flash CM12 with odin?
Thanks.
No help? Is it possible to use goomanager on these tablets?

Make sure you use LP gapps and not kitkat gapps.
Wipe system and factory reset / wipe data, install cm, install gapps, reboot. That is all that is needed.

I was using lp gapps. The problem is now I cant install anything from any recovery. Tried twrp and cwm with the same result, it says no md5 fou d skipping validation then just hangs there and never makes progress on the bar even after setting for some time.
The only reason my tab didnt get bricked is thankfully it was able to go into download mode and flash a stock rom with odin.
Got it flashed and this time gapps worked first try! After enable mtp it worked first try. Loving cm12 so far this is how this tablet should perform out of the box.
Could you explain how you manage to fix that ?
I'm currently having the same issue with my 8.4 tab pro wifi cm12-20150108-nightly.
I'm having the same issue here. What GAPPS APK are you guys using as well? I was on 6.5.99 (-036) and it wasn't working. I'm going to try 6.5.99 (-436) next.
Edit: flashing (-436) didn't fix it.
So i have my I8160 and i have 4 different recoveries. CWM 4.0.5.6 and 4.0.2.8 and also TWRP 2.8.6.0 and 3.0.2.0. Yeah i know it is strange but just let me explain you. I rooted my device and then installed CWM 4.0.2.8. Then I flashed ChronoKernel and restarted the device. It rebooted into CWM 4.0.5.6 and i wipe everything and tried to install CM13 + ggaps. Unfourtunately the installation of ggaps ended with code 70. I booted the phone and it showed off only 1GB of storage! I quickly restarted the device to flash the ROM once more and suprisingly it booted into TWRP 3.0.2.0. I tried to install CM13 and CM12.1. CM12.1 just stucks at Optimizing apps 48/88 and CM13 does not detect smth like internal storage... I think CM11 is a bit too old for me so i want a bit more fresh OS. Do you have any suggestions how can i fix this memory problem?
First of all, you don't have 4 different recoveries. It's just that each ROM /kernel installation also installs their own recovery.
Anyway, I think you should start fresh. Flash 3 parted JB, then follow the appropriate steps given by the developers

So i should just download the firmware and flash it using odin right?
And i just want to add that mobile network connection is not working, on stock it was
Try using this: http://d-h.st/AZN
To solve mobile network connection issue, make sure that before you flash a custom ROM that you are already on JB stock ROM
So i flashed JB and i can not set up my phone because Google processes crash all the time. But i dont see Mobile network connection.

Your firmware already flashed. Mobile network still not working
