Hi. I have a Sprint Samsung Note 4. I was getting a screen overlay error and decided now would be the time to change the ROM on the Note.
I followed the steps from "How to Install CyanogenMod on the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Sprint ("trltespr")"
After I installed the first ROM, which was the latest nightly, and booted it up, I noticed that the WIFI says "Turning on" but doesn't ever turn on. It's greyed out in settings as well. I tried a few different nightly's thinking it was a defective file or bad install. Still no fix.
So then I went http://www.grantbarker.com/samsung-galaxy-note-4.html to try different roms, and I get the exact same issue.
Now I'm thinking that there is something I'm missing that the original ROM had. And for some reason the backup I made from it is missing, so I can't go back to it either. Is there a way to fix the wifi? It kind of sucks without it. Thanks for any advice that could help.
Were you on Marshmallow or Lollipop stock? Sounds like you have the wrong bootloader and that may be the reason. You would either have to flash the recommended stock tar or bootloader or bootloader and baseband.
I don't keep up with CM but the thing to check for is recommended bootloader in OP or search the thread. You may find it necessary to flash OK1 or OG5 bootloader. Dunno, maybe check for the baseband too for CM.
There's a bootloader and baseband thread in the development forum for Sprint Note 4. You should find what you need to flash in Odin AP mode. The ones labeled firmware are bootloaders.

You could probably try reverting to the factory settings and checking if the WiFi works? And then, you could change it to the current ROM again. This might help you resolve the WiFi issue.

Hi all, I was flashing a Infamous Google Edition ROM and everything was okay until my phone booted up. My carrier is WIND and I have the SGH-M919V, and every time I locked/unlocked my phone I wouldn't have a signal. I would have to search for my network every time I unlocked my phone, which was really irritating. I tried three other Google Play Edition ROMS, and they all wouldn't let me get a signal. This is strange because I have previously flashed the INFAMOUS S4 ROM with no problems whatsoever. I am currently on Android 4.3 stock rom.
My question to you guys is this: How do I fix the no signal problem so I can get a custom rom again?
Rooted with CF-Auto-Rooter, and used Philz Touch 5 if that helps.
Thanks in advance!

Sigh... What bootloader are you on? KNOX or non-KNOX? If you are on non-KNOX, you need to Odin flash the 4.3 modem that is all over the forums. If you're on KNOX bootloader, check your APN settings. Hope that helps. :good:

Did you find the problem? I'm having a similar issue, but not quite sure where to find this "4.3 modem". I've read references to the mk2 modem but so far it hasn't helped me.
My issues are on Hyperdrove or Darthstalker roms, my network (wind) won't stay connected if I turn the screen off. But on any AOSP rom my network connection is solid.
Also, on this mk2 rom my connection is fine: https://sites.google.com/site/dannyben777/home
I'm just wondering how I can get my WIND network connection to work on the hyperdrive rom =\
This is what I did:
I was trying to get Infamous S4 Google Edition (which is 4.4) when I was on 4.2.2. I tried to install it, but apparently it wouldn't install properly (forget the details). I tried going back to 4.2.2 to try it again, but strangely enough it boot-locked at the SAMSUNG screen. I upgraded to 4.3 and everything worked, so I tried the Infamous ROM again the next day, and it worked
Strangely enough, every time I try to charge my phone when it's powered off it boots back up again, and says something about a kernel (forget, kind of lazy to check).
Hope this kind of helps!
Hello, I used to own a GS3 and had it rooted and everything just fine, but I sold it when I broke the screen. I recently purchased a used one off Ebay and want to get back root and custom ROM. The seller had the firmware updated to 4.4.2 stock and of course it is bloated to hell. I managed to get the root installed, however I flashed a new rom and modem and now have no network connection. I have tried modems LK3, MJ2, and MJB and none have worked. Also, somewhere down the line I managed to break the wifi, as when I try to turn on wifi it instantly switches off.
I remember it being very easy to root back when the device first came out, I was on a Galaxy Nexus previously and everything. Another thing to note, once I got the root installed I made a backup in cwm and even restoring this backup I have broken modem and wifi. How ****ed is my phone?
EDIT: I managed to find the elusive NE4 modem that was not in the "all modems" thread. This fixed my issue. Feel free to close thread mods
Closed at OP request.
Hello everyone. Looking for some help. I suddenly lost the ability to use WiFi. I have 4g and cell service. When I try to turn on WiFi my phone reboots. After the reboot I get a message that the phone is in factory mode. I opened my EFS folder to make edits but it is empty. Can anybody help?
EDIT: I'm currently on 4.4.4 NH7 rooted.
Try flashing stock firmware, ShinySide has a link in general to download samsung stock firmware.

I flashed the stock firmware. Wifi is somewhat working without rebooting. After a reboot i still get a message that factory mode is on and the phone turns off wifi. I also have to re-enter my wifi password to reconnect. Any ideas on how to turn off factory mode?
EDIT: Also when I trying flash anything in recovery I get a message in red saying unable to mount efs.
Try this Samsung Galaxy S4 : How to Get out of Factory Mode: http://youtu.be/d8dbrerUacw

I already tried that. But for some reason my efs folder is empty. I'm guessing I need those files.
EDIT: Anyway someone can share their EFS folder?
Even after flashing stock NH7?
Try reflashing again, maybe open nh7 rom on pc with adb and copy content to your folder and reboot.

I've flashed Shiny Sides modem through Odin. Then I followed it up by flashing his NH7 Stock ROM. No luck. The positive is that I have WiFi working again. The Bad side is that I get the "Factory Mode On" message on reboots and I have to re-enter my WiFi password.
What roms where you running before ShinySide's rom?
Where you on CM11?
Check your bootloader.

I was on Phoenix Rom 4.4.2. Then I flashed Eudemony 4.4.4. It had some bugs so I restored back to Phoenix Rom. This is when my wifi and factory mode on issues began.
Try flashing Phoenix again, see if that fixes it.

Panch, thank you for sticking around and trying to help me find a solution to my problem. I'll give re flashing Phoenix a shot later today and report back.
Hello everyone I have searched high and low to try and figure out what I am doing wrong here. About 6 months ago I was set on leaving the custom firmware scene and go back to stock. Did the appropriate steps through odin and flashed the newest firmware at the time(not even sure which one it was). Anyway I had an issue with my WIFI not even being able to be turned on at all. You would tap the icon to light up but to no avail. I am back to my old custom firmware which is JEDI X20(4.1.2) and am looking to upgrade to 5.0/1(lollipop) I am sure ATT has not gotten around to updating to it for the Note 2 so I am looking to go the custom route and take one of my choosing. My only concern is will I have a problem with my WIFI again. I know I had briefly read about some modem or baseband that was needed from Gingerbread to make WIFI work? Is this still the case? Out of anything I need working it's my WIFI.
Thanks in advanced
So I've having a bit of an issue with my 607t and I recall seeing some of the issues before. I was rooted before and on a custom 5.1.1 for a 605. Everything worked except it would sometimes boot back to recovery after power down. (known issue)
So today I went ahead and downloaded the official 5.1.1 and used Odin to flash back to stock. I'm not having any OS issues but am having a problem with wi-fi and the LTE radio. Wondering if anyone else has seen this and what was your fix?
1) The wi-fi will not remember passwords after a reboot.
2) After the update the unit is telling me that no SIM card is installed. Verified SIM is good on another device and tried a different SIM in the Note with same results.
Have flashed via ODIN again, factory reset a few times, remove/install SIM and the problems persist. I'm thinking there must be something from the 605 kernel that the ODIN flash isn't fixing.
Would appreciate any tips. - Thanks!!!!
You have to update the bootloader. There's a check-box in Odin for that.

That was the ONE thing I didn't do. And it worked.
That box was always greyed out when I loaded the file and didn't notice after the file processed that it was an available option.
Thanks!!!!
