T889 Can't get wifi to turn on - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

I can't get wifi to work. Wifi switch won't even turn on. I've done some research and people give varying solutions:
1. Devil kernel will fix it (no idea where to download this kernel)
2. That I need a 4.3 bootloader (no idea how to update the bootloader to 4.3)
3. Dr. Ketan fix which I've flashed trough odin and the result is the phone stuck loading in to recover.
The phone iis rooted, I use TWRP recovery, and I have tried several custom roms.
Can anyone help me out?

[Q] Odin failed bootloader upgrade on i317 please help!

Hey guys,
I own a i317m Note 2. I installed this rom from a 4.1.2 rom and it worked perfectly besides the wifi not working. Did research and its apparently due to me not upgrading my bootloader.
SO i followed this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47379632&postcount=2789
And it always failed in ODIN. Probably because its not for the specific variant that i own. Well needless to say i cannot access recovery nor the OS due to the bootloader being bugged. When turned on the phone displays 'Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.'.
Now download mode still works perfectly, but im unsure what to flash to make it work? Would really love for some help - because atm my phone is pretty much useless to me :/
Lesson learned haha.
Flash CF auto root from Odin and your kies emergency crap will go away...
Then you will have access to flash the wifi patch from Dr. Ketans thread....g

Finally, it worked for me!!!!

problems installing roms - no carrier

So I've had this problem, and I fought with it for one night until I got it working. I'm sharing my experience here in case others have this issue, and I invite people that have encountered this issue to criticize the way I fixed my problems so that we can get the minimum bricked to working procedure and identify issues in loading custom roms.
The problem is that the phone after flashing a custom rom will work, but you get 'no carrier' meaning that the radio on the device isn't connecting to your carrier. In my case, 'Sprint'. I don't know why this happens, but no matter what I did, I couldn't get it to connect.
What I had to do was go back to stock. The MD4 stock didn't work for me, it would display the samsung note 2 branding screen, then the screen would fuzz out like an old tv that lost the vsync signal, and then the red light would blink blink blink. I bricked my pho.ne
The good news is, I didn't completely brick it. What you have to do is ODIN the phone. The problem was, it would never go into odin mode, it would always crash before it got there. What I had to do was take the battery out and power it ONLY via USB. Then it would go into odin, and I was able to flash the LJC firmware. It seems that if you want to replace the radio, you have to flash an entire rom to do it. Those downloads are a gig!
So even after doing this, it wouldn't quite work right. If you still have issues, you may have to ODIN a new BOOT image. Once you do that, then when it boots you'll get the standard sprint logo and animation / sound, but it will still hang. What you have to do then is load a custom recovery (odin), boot into that recovery, and format system twice then cache twice. The recovery that worked best for me was ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.4.3.
That seemed to reset the radio/carrier and then I could load the original LJC rom & radio. I verified that I could access everything. Then, I did CF Auto-Root, and loaded a new custom rom. All was working afer that!

CAN'T ROOT, goes into BootLoop

ok guys, I have successfully been able to root every device I have ever had thanks to the great work and directions of people on this site. Trust me when I say I have searched and searched for the answer to this and I can not find it.
I have a Note 10.1 2014 P605 international version. All I am trying to do is root this device. I would also like Kit Kat 4.2.2 however not required.
At this point, I am able to flash TWRP and can go back and forth from JB and KK, however I for the life of me can't flash any other thing on this device. I have tried multiple downloads of the CF Auto Root, but I get the same thing every time. I go into Odin, process starts, screen flashes, and than goes into boot loop, and stays there until i rerun Odin, and flash stock back on. I have tried to flash a custom reom on this device also but same thing.
I don't care about tripping the KNOX counter, i just want the device rooted, plane and simple. I am starting to think its not the file, but there is a block on the device somewhere and i have missed it. It seems to let me run any stock rom, just nothing else.
I have gotten Supersu but it stops when it gets to the last part and says that i just updated and need to bascly come here for help!
I'm kind of at a loss here. Not sure what to do next. Any ideas? or links that I have missed??

If you only want root, have you tried Towelroot? I was able to root my P605V when no other method worked. The only issue I have (since I have a locked bootloader) is that I can't update my SU binaries in the ROM or via recovery (since it's stock). You likely won't have that issue since you have custom recovery and can just flash.
ok- so after another night of sleep, i was able to get this done - here's what I did -
Reflashed stock rom via ODIN
Flashed TWRP via ODIN
installed SuperSU onto simcard, installed via TWRP
SuperSU opens and tries to shut down KNOX, stalls
I reboot, rerun SuperSU, and again tries to shut down KNOX, but this time it works
I reflash Kit Kat 4.2 and repeat the process and whoop there it is...root access with stock Kit Kat.
Finally!
Hope this helps someone!

[Q] N7100 stuck at boot screen after flashing stock 4.4.2

Hi all, hope somebody can rescue me!
I have an N7100. It's been running stock ROM 4.1.2 for ages (rooted). I've rooted and loaded ROMs on a fair few devices over the years, but typically by following step-by-step guides - I'm a noob to all intents and purposes.
Last night I decided to upgrade to 4.4.2.
I did it without performing a wipe first.
Backed up apps and settings using Titanium Backup Pro
Downloaded N7100XXUFNE1 from Sammobile (sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=32635)
Loaded it via Odin 3.9
It worked, in a fashion, maintaining most of my data and apps etc, but I couldn't get wifi to turn on and I kept getting error messages saying '[App X] could not be loaded'
I decided to bite the bullet and do a factory reset (by booting into recovery).
I still couldn't get wifi to work, but my bootloader had stayed at ME3, so I decided to apply the latest bootloader (ND3) as I read somewhere that this could be the issue (I wasn't overly concerned about Knox as the phone is almost 2 years old now anyway).
I applied it via ODIN again, except loading the file into the 'BL' section rather than the 'AP'.
Since doing that, it's stuck at the boot screen 'Samsung Galaxy Note II GT-N7100' and the only way to get out of it is to pull the battery.
I can got into 'Download Mode' but not into 'Recovery Mode'.
I have tried applying MJ5 bootloader.
I have tried reinstalling the whole stock again ROM again
I have tried applying Philz_Touch_6.07.9-n7100 recovery
All show as having completed successfully in Odin, but none of them changed anything - I'm still stuck at the boot screen
Does anybody have any ideas of what else I might try?
Thanks

Have you tried flashing TWRP instead? This happened to me and got stuck on recovery boot, CWM and Philz Touch wonb't load. Flashed TWRP and worked like a charm.
I am having similar problem.
Tried to flash the TWRP Recovery from THIS via Odin.
Still phone isn't going past the Galaxy Note II logo.

Thanks for the reply.
It processes OK and Odin says 'Pass!', but then it automatically restarts and gets stuck at the boot screen again. Still can't boot into recovery mode.

Thanks for the suggestion. Just tried that, but unfortunately it just does the same thing ....
Man do this.....
Get older odin (personally my preferance nothing else)
Flash the latest stock rom that u have
It will say pass and the device will go into bootloop
Now remove battery any stick it in (just to stop bootloops)
Enter recovery (that shld be stock now)
And do a factory reset
If no recovery......get a custom one and do it
Then let the phone do its thing:good::good:

Thanks for the suggestion. I've tried doing just that (although not on an older version of Odin) and it hasn't helped, I can't get into recovery.
I will give flashing the Bootloader a go via the AP rather than BL when I get back from work tonight though. Cheers.

Hi, I do appreciate you're only trying to help but, as explained numerous times in the thread, that's my whole problem.
In summary:
The phone gets stuck on the boot screen
I can't boot into recovery
I can only get into the odin download screen
Flashing a full stock rom doesn't change anything
Flashing Philz, TWRP or CW Recovery doesn't change anything
Reflashing the bootloader doesn't change anything

Just to close this thread off, I've now paid to get the phone sorted at a local shop. Took them a while (think their first level support just tried all the things I'd already done), but their occasional staff member and all round guru managed to get it sorted. I don't know what he did as I didn't get the chance to speak to him. Cost me £30.

Soft brick that wont go away - stock firmware uneffective

So my issue is pretty similar, see what you guys think. i been trying everything i can think of.
i updated from xtrestolite 2.1 to 2.2 with out wiping. everything worked fine except when i would make calls, the other people could not hear me. so i updated the bootloader and modem again (i had done it before) and the problem persisted. i flashed back to stock and was getting stuck at the s6 edge screen. the only way to get around this was and get my phone to boot was to flash aou kernel. i was still having a similar issue with calling so I download a modem from a diffrent server and all of a sudden, it was working again on stock firmware... AWESOME!
now that i had all that done and my phone working as it should, i reset my phone for the first time and i got the FRP lock, wont boot phone because custom kernel. GREAT
I then flashed stock of6 again, the tar ball, and the 4 piece version. no dice
i then found of8, tried to flash that still no dice.
id love to flash twrp and load a rom on, but FRP is a alsjdflajs.
the phone will flash successfully, but upon reboot, it will go into recovery, run its course, reboot, and get stuck that the galaxy s6 edge screen.
i use the vol and power click during recovery to see what its doing and everything seems to go fine. it will then say failed to mount /data. im hoping flashing this with the pit file will work, but i cannot download the pit file from my work computer (hahah its blocks on 4shard and mega).
anyone have any other advice? i will update if i figure it out.
Regards team,
-Mad
p.s. none of this is xtrestolite's fault, that rom has been nothing but good to me.. my phone has been picky though. after 5.1.1 i had to flash a custom kernel in order for the digitizer to function properly.... any help is appriciated guys.
SO UPDATE!
nothing good, i tried the pit with of6 and of8, no dice. still stuck.
anyone got a s6 edge w a broken screen? you can claim it lost for all i care.
no one?
i guess if anything past flash stock firmware people dont know? was hoping for alittle more insight.
im sure if i could flash a kernel i could get it to turn on, but FRP has be at bay...
no help for you bro...Samsung just needs to release there software fixing for this comunity...I'm looking a for a dev to answer my question in this section about just flashing zip files in twrp instead of using odin or whatever other methods that can avoid all these problems that are all similar...hopefully in next few months it will be addressed
Hey mate, try this...

holy... fu34%# /S45it.... IT BOOT?!
after flashing every firmware 100000 times...
THANK YOU!
I initially used odin to flash OI1 update, after a rom I was using caused problems and I got bootloop. It changed bootloader value to b:3 and I'm unable to downgrade now so I used smart switch which didn't recognize device so used emergency recovery and still bootloop. I have factory reset and wipe cache multiple times along with adb side load and individual flashes of bootloader, modem, kernel, flashed custom kernel and twrp to access fix permissions and to mount partitions with advanced wipe etc and still wont boot past logo. Also during one fix attempt phone said can't mount system.. Idk I'm not understanding where the problem is .everything says successful but I'm still in bootloop. Please help. I've spent hours everyday for the past week searching & trying different things that seem might help so open to any suggestions.
