hello my wife has a tmobile galaxy s4, as do i, but her wifi stopped working one day, i tried everything to fix it and nothing worked, so i rooted the phone and and flashed twpr, and tried some custom roms, but they all end up freezing on the lock screen or out of nowhere and ive tried various roms, all stable as they say on the post, but they freeze on me, im on the nh7 baseband and bootloader i used a phone info app to check. what could be causing this with every rom i tried? ive tried the pac-man rom, slimkat, google play edition, dan&ktoonz rom. ive rooted and used roms on my old galaxy s3 no problem.
Try flashing a stock rom, just for giggles & grins. See if that works before you go off the deep end.

Where can i get the stock roms
http://galaxys4root.com/galaxy-s4-stock-firmware/ Choose your stock Rom here
now are these flashable via twpr.
Tell me if they helped in anyway
Try working with this as the Web site mentioned before by Pablo has the not so latest firmware, and this is trustworthy from our own forum, just follow the instructions, read through the thread for answers in case you have any questions.

I have a question for those of you out there with a Koodo s2x t989d. I rooted my phone soon after I got it to fix a non-working gps. I did this so that I could use ClockSync app to auto update time so gps could be accurate. It worked. I have since been trying dozens of custom roms, cyanogenmod, Aokp roms, ptmr's roms and all in both ICS and JB. Not one rom no matter how I installed it (trying different orders of wiping, installing radios, roms, and clearing cach/ factory reset.) can I get the Gps to work. Everything else always works great. It does work on stock rom after I fixed it, and I recently found it works great on Ptmrs koodo V5. Now im sure this is because it is a stock based rom, also based on my carrier. It is a great rom, but I really would like to try some of the others, specifically Cyanogenmod 9 or 10. I have also tryed APGS fix version 2 and 3 on most of the custom roms I have tried.
I guess my question is, is there any koodo t989d owners out there that have a proven method for my gps to work on a custom rom? Everything else works great, just not GPS on custom roms!!
Also, to the more knowledgeable with installing roms, is there any reason that Gps works great on only koodo stock based roms? I am fairly bright and could probably attempt most suggestions if there was any to try to fix this.
Thanks in advance!!
Much appreciated!!!

It's become my habit to flash this GPS fix (found here)every time I flash a ROM, similar to flashing the gapps or titanium backup after the first reboot.
Might be a placebo affect now, but I can honestly lock on to ~15 satellites in under half a minute whereas before it was impossible to lock onto 3. Try it.
Oh, and if you don't have the recovery or don't want to flash it, you can just open up and extract the zip file, and copy the gps.conf to root/system/etc/ over the old one.
worked!
Cant thank you enough! so simple but it worked! I was unable to flash so I just moved file to the system/etc/ and rebooted. It may be noted that I turned off my gps before I rebooted which is something I haven't done before. I only had to complete this process once, and now it seems gps has worked on 3 different Jb roms.
Thanks again!
hi everyone,
i use galaxy wonder and i installed ParanoidAndroid mod via CWM (6.0.1).
after a while i decided to bring back my stock rom.
so i've downloaded I8150XXLB4 version (TUR) from samsung-updates.com.
wiped system/cache/dalvik cache and flashed with ODIN 4.43.
now system starts up and all the keys working except touchscreen. i can't pass the welcome screen.
i searched the forum and found only two threads and no solution.
ANY ADVICE? thx in advance...
i finally did it!
tried stock and many custom ROMs. tried many kernels (2.6-3.0 etc); and the only one working rom was:
Koprol-GigaBread-Stable-2.3.6-XXLMI-Signed
now finally it is working. in many threads i've read, people sent their devices to service.
so before sending to servise, nothing to lose about trying this ROM i guess...
Yesterday my gps wasnt working at all. It would not lock on no matter what I did. I was on a custom rom and I tried wiping my data/cache, reinstalling maps (just for giggles), and a multitude apps from the market that help deal with gps problems (gps fix, gps status, toolbox, etc).
When all this didn't work I decided to odin back to the last official JB update and still no gps. On a whim I decided to odin back to an ICS firmware and that made my gps work. I have no idea but it did. I then odin to UVDLJC, installed TWRP's most recent and restored my backup of the custom rom I was using in the first place and gps now worked.
While I'm happy as heck that my gps is now working and that it was not a hardware issue I'm extremely curious what happened.
I have flashed many roms lately and I cannot think what a custom rom can do to gps to hose it or if it was just one of those things. I would of thought that when I originally did an odin to UVDLJC that would fix the issue but that didn't. Whatever the flash to ICS did fixed it but what in the heck could that of been?
I figure if I can find out or get an idea what happened then I can steer away from flashing certain roms, or just be prepared that flashing any roms at all can make this happen again.
Same here.
Hello, ddcoh.
I am currently having the same issue you had with GPS not working. I've tried everything from trying tedious Play store apps to trying many different roms and kernels (clean installing every time) to completely reverting back to stock including using TriangleAway in case that did any help. Nothing worked. I have been thinking about going back to ICS to see if that worked but the last time I tried to downgrade from 4.1.1 to 4.0.4 I ended up soft bricking my phone even though I followed the steps word for word.
Can you tell how you went about downgrading to ICS and then back to JB, please? I use my GPS a lot and I would hate to find out it's a hardware issue.
Typically, it's been when people are going from 4.2 to 4.1.

Well I used odin to flash an T999_UVALEM which was a prerooted ICS rom. After booting it up I checked to see if GPS was working and it was.
I then used odin again to flash T999_UVDLJA which is a JB rom and booted it up also and saw that gps was working. Then I just restored a backup of a room I had been using and GPS still worked.
I've been out of town and noticed that after flashing a few roms that gps wasn't working so instead of doing all the above stuff I just flashed a cm10 rom. I believe I either used a cm10 nightly (or maybe 10.1, memory is hazy) or LiquidRom and that got the GPS working by just doing that. Not sure if that will work for you but you could always backup your setup using TWRP's latest and then flashing a cm10 rom and seeing if gps is working and if that fixes it then you could then just reboot and restore the rom you are currently on and that might fix your gps for you.

Hey guys, i just made an account just to see if there's any solutions or fixes to this problem i have. I flashed MJC 4.3 on my phone and i noticed that the Wifi wouldn't turn on, at first too i didn't have any signal so i flashed the modems that the thread has provided. I searched everywhere for a solution but i can't find one that works, i tried flashing another rom while fully factory restoring everything but no luck at all. Can anyone help me?
In the same thread there is a ATT unlocked kernel. Flash it along with that Rom.

Afternoon everyone, I was hoping someone could assist with this problem, I have a Galaxy Tab 3 7" wifi only, I was running everything as stock inc 4.1.2 firmware, then I was prompted for an upgrade to 4.4.2, I stupidly did this without reading up ! I use to run the Tomtom software on my tab, used it everyday for work, now since the upgrade the tab will not find a GPS signal, no matter how long I leave it, after a few hours of reading and trying different things, cache cleared, reinstalled the app, restore to stock twice (still on 4.4.2) Im at a loss. I have read once its upto 4.4.2 it cannot go back to 4.1.2 as the boot loader is locked ? I am currently downloading a clean instal from Samobile of 4.4.2 to see if that will fix it, installed via Odin 3.10.6.
If anyone has cured a similar problem or can point me in the right direction I would be most grateful
Thanks
John
sort of fixed
Couldn't seem able to find a fix for this problem I had a dabble with my Tablet, installed TWRP, backed up the 4.4.2 stock ROM, found and installed the ROM by Jon Wesley Tranchida - uber cool ROM btw - fantastic boot logo's :good: but alas, the Tablet would still not run the GPS with Tomtom. So I took a risk and found a Stock 4.1.2 ROM from here http://stockroms.webs.com/downloads deleted everything and started again, Installed the 4.1.2 Ultimate ROM, installed Tomtom again and YES, everything works okay :highfive: I really miss all the addons though that were included in the ROM by Jon Wesley Tranchida. I still don't understand why Tomtom won't see GPS or the tablet wont access the GPS on 4.4.2, after 10 hours of reading up.. Although I did read it could be some thing to do with the baseband ? its beyond me lol
