Wifi and Bluetooth not working Verizon Galaxy Note 4 - Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a used Verizon Galaxy Note 4.
I can't turn on the WIFI or the Bluetooth.
Nothing happens when you tap the buttons for either of these.
So far, I opened it up and detached and reattached the 2 cables for wifi and Bluetooth . This did not resolve the problem.
It also appeared to have a custom firmware on it so I used odin and installed the latest original firmware but it did not solve the problem.
I was wondering if it could be the charging port board or the Bluetooth and wifi cables but I have read that some people had to swap the main board instead.
A couple of other unusual things,
If I go to settings and tap "System Updates" it says Software update is temporarily unavailable "
Also, if I boot to recovery mode it says "Installing system update" and then says "No command" and finally goes to the menu.

What bootloader are you on? Also what is your baseband and currently installed android version? What firmware did you flash? Is your carrier Verizon?

I couldn't log back in here for some reason so I had to use a different account.
Yes it is Verizon
Baseband: N910VVRS2CQC1
Android Version: 6.0.1
Firmware: MMB29M.N910VVRU2CQC1
In bootloader it says:

Reactivation Lock: Off
Qualcomm Secure Boot: Enable (CSB)

If you have data working, can you download this from the playstore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo&hl=en and after you install and open it, scroll over to firmware and tell me what it says there. That will tell you what bootloader you are on. You should be on the CPD1 bootloader.

I thought we got an update after pd1 that could he could potentially be on . I realize the bootloader didn't change but it may have gotten renamed to the appropriate firmware . That looks right (his device info) if it were stock updated

The information he provided doesn't show what bootloader he is on though.

Hey man I m not sure how far you've gone but I'd have to suggest a complete factory reset then wipe from recovery then reinstall via Odin (latest firmware down to bpa1 should all be usable if you plan on rooting you need to go back anyway . Either way your info is correct something is wrong with your radio flash either pd1 or bpa1 just to be certain the bug isn't inherint to your current firmware

Thanks. It says Bootloader version N910VVRU2CQC1
Some other things while I'm looking.

Well that looks right. I would take mojoswagger1980's advice.

I think that's what I already did unless I'm missing something. I did factory reset and wipe and installed the aforementioned firmware with odin.
I'm new to this.
Are you saying I missed something?
should i try again with a different firmware?

Could you provide the link of the firmware that you flashed with Odin?

Ok.
Please note that this problem existed before I updated firmware.
I was hoping that updating firmware would fix it.

Can I get the link to the thread that file came from? I checked Paul Pizz's threads and didn't find that exact download file. It seems like that should have worked. Might have been a bad download. I would try again and if that doesn't work I would Odin back to bpa1. That's lollipop but that would give you a fresh start so you could unlock your bootloader if you decided to. That's just my opinion though.

Could you send me links to good files please?

Galaxy A3 FRP Unlock

Hello.
I've just discovered that I can't switch my phone on because it says "custom recovery block by frp lock". I know there are numerous threads on this forum and other websites describing this problem and ways to solve it, included mantaining data.
Every method requires the download of the same version firmware you had installed on your phone. The problem is that I cannot really remember if I kept my Galaxy A3 2016 to 5.1 or I upgraded it to 6.0. Obviously I cannot check it by phone since I cannot even boot, nor via adb since it isn't able to recognise the phone in the download mode.
So firstly: is there a way to retrieve the firware code, or at least, the android version of my phone? Can adb recognise the phone in downlaod mode?
Secondly. According to this link in xda, that user was able to solve the problem using some kind of firmware image (QB1), which seems to be an upgrade. Is that method valid for other samsung phones? For my A3, should I follow the same steps with the correct firmware version?
Thanks in advance

try using smartswitch and see if it detects it
-are drivers installed
-does the pc recognize the phone ?
So, I had already tried with Smartswitch, but it says device not supported and does not link at all.
Moreover yes, the computer could read the phone before the frp lock, and even now, odin can detect it in download mode.
Kies just loads for some minutes and then says "unable to link to the device"
EDIT: no sorry kies raises "the device does not respond"
ok we need to flash using odin , i assume you can't access recovery but if you tried and it worked, look at the top of the screen it must show a code like
<your A3 model> followed by <your country> followed by <frimware date>
If you couldnt, we can use an updated version for your model , please provide us with the model if u can.
I can only acces to odin mode. Via that, I have the following text:
Product name is: SM-A310F
Current binary: Custom (it was rooted)
System status: Custom
FRP LOCK: ON
Secure Download: Enabled
Knox Warranty Void: 1
RP SWREV: B:2 K:0 S:0
I am sure that the phone had Vodafone pre-installed applications, and looking at mrcrab.net there exist these possible stock firmware:
Android 5
Android 5
Android 6
Android 6
I only fear that if I mistaken the version I will obtain a wipe of my data, which are not vital but are important to me
Actually there is no way to avoid the reset as we don't know anything about the PDA version, install the drivers type in google "USB Samsung drivers"
It must show developer.Samsung.com/....
I'm on phone so I can't provide it as a link, install the drivers and try again, else we will get the latest version
I already have samsung usb drivers, and odin can succesfully detect the phone in download mode; Kies cannot, though
Anyway, if you open one of the links I posted, isn't the PDA shown in the line:
OS Version : A310FXXU1AOLE (chosen one as example)
In that website there is every stock firmware by model, android version, and mobile operator. I know two out of three, and those 4 links are the 4 possible choices regarding android version. If I picked the right one, would I avoid the data reset, wouldn't I?
EDIT: What, if I did how it is explained here with the latest version? I mean download android 6 last upgrade, extract it, rename .tar.md5 in .tar and flah it with odin? Would it be any risk of loosing data?
Hello,
.MD5 lets odin checksum the rom loaded to it to make sure it's not corrupted, however if you are sure of two main things:
that the frimware you are flashing isn't a downgrade as downgrading flashs a old bootloader which gets you in some kind of troubles possibly a brick, to avoid that, grab the latest version
and the second thing you must make sure of is that the file isn't anyway corrupted.
if you think it's all ok, then you can proceed as of i tried it once and it saved a device.
Okay, I'm sure now that my android version was 6.0.1 because I read that 5.1 didn't have single app permissions manager, and I definetely remember that I had it.
According to this page, I have three possible choices.
1) I think the right version is the oldest one. In case I mistaked, would I risk a brick even if the major version is the same?
2) Also, if I mistaked, do I risk a data loss even though the major version is the same?
Thank you (we're almost there)

The build number must be the same regarding the android version, so to keep the files it must be the same as the one in the phone, else a wipe will be performed.
The problem is that you want your data, that maybe lost if we don't have the exact same build.
Just grab the latest marshmallow or nougat -, but the data would be lost then.
Do a hard reset in case something went wrong.
I was able to unlock the phone a mantain the data! Thanks
I have a special problem with an old Samsung Galaxy A3 2016 SM-A310F (Android 7.0 Nougat)

[Solved] Custom binary (recovery) blocked by frp lock after Note FE rom install

Hello everyone,
According to this post i did install note FE rom on my note 7 sm-n930F.
I did not have any problem flashing my first n930f.
Unfortunately, for my second install, i stupidly FORGOT to enable OEM unlock when flashing TWRP. :crying::crying:
I continued to install the ROM without problem but after the first reboot, the phone is blocked with the message "custom binary (recovery) blocked by frp lock"
I can boot in download mode (power + volume down + home) so i tried to flash a N930F stock rom but it fails with the message "check fail : device : 2 binary : 1"
(I think this is due to the fact that the stock rom is Android 6 and the device's rom is Android 7).
I tried Emergency Device Recovery from SmartSwitch PC without success : the device is not recognized by SmartSwitch.
I do not know what to do, can someone help me unbrick this phone ?
Thank you for your help.
Same for me. I cant believe it! No solution here from XDA community!

not so simple...
unable to flash TWRP -> blocked by FRP lock
I finally found the right stock rom for my N-930F (N930FXXU2BPI7) with help from pvpaco (see here)
I had the same problem (forgot to toggle oem lock) just flash the stock firmware for your device and it will boot (using odin) if you had a Google account it may ask you to sign in again if not just set up the device toggle the oem switch and flash twrp
The problem no flashable available stock rom for Korean models S/L/K. All failed in Odin. I had also a frp on , I can't flash any custom file.

I am not an expert, but it sounds like you are trying to flash a bootloader that is an older version than the version 4 on your phone. I don't think you can downgrade the BL version. The fifth character from the end is the BL version. (e.g. G955USQU4CRE1) Also, you may need a newer version of ODIN.

Yes. There are a lot of software versions available. If you use Updato you can search by model number and service provider (listed as region on Updato. I was able to find one with a version 4 bootloader. Similar to your version, but CRE9 at the end. It is an oreo version. Your phone is a model SM-G-955U when you search there. It might take a long time to download. I have sometimes had luck speeding things up by trying to restart the download. Sometimes it just takes a long time. Be careful when you are flashing if you have any desire to go back to a previous version. I am not sure of the limitations.
Another thing you could try that might be easier for you is to go to the JRKruse ROM thread here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s8+/development/rom-t3771206 and use the instructions he has there to install the ROM. There is another rooted ROM that he has that may also work for you. He has instructions on what to do.
Hello, my galaxy s8 is stuck in rpmb provisioned and its boot looping, I can get to download mode, it doesn't say things such as fuse blown etc. How can I get out of the boot loop? Help is appreciated.
Did you find a fix? Im having a very similar problem. I don't see any stock roms with a v4 bootloader. The most recent seems to be a v3.
Fixed it the way Smithfolk said. I was using the combination rom FA70_G955USQU4ARE1 with a V4 bootloader. I used odin v3.13.1 and flashed verizion G955USQU4CRE9 from Sammobile including the bootloader and it fixed my phone.

Root is impossible on AT&T Nougat because locked Bootloader.
If you want root your phones then don't buy AT&T or Verizon models
My note 5 is aAT&T running android 6 and accepts any network from the time i got it. If i flash this Rom update, what are the chances that my phone will stop accepting other networks. Note:There is no AT&T network in my country(Zambia).

I tried on my own phone and it's still unlocked.

Are you sure your phone was unlocked permanently from AT&T before you flashed nougat ?
Remove simcard and Flash the nougat firmware again then go to recovery and do wipe cache and wipe data factory reset.
Then do not setup the phone immediately let it rest for few minutes.
Insert your sim card and reboot You will get your imei and network back. hopefully...

It will work fine but you have to do factory reset from stock recovery after flashing 7.0 firmware.

update: i just found out that bootloader, baseband version is n920A but pda,csc is n920f. knox warranty void is 0
system status: custom
product name: sm-n920A
current binary: samsung official

got bamboozled into buying a knox-tripped S9, and I'm at a loss on what I should do?

Help a brother out bros,
I'm new to android, been using a Nokia 808 for the past 7 years, and Nokias in general since 2006. anyway I'm from a ****ty 3rd-world country with no official Samsung dealer, so we're stuck buying whatever these 3rd-party merchants provide, so I got what appeared to be a sealed, brand new Samsung S9 (it was the smallest device I could find with acceptable specifications, if it was 1 cm shorter, and 0.5 cm narrower it would've been perfect).
Shortly I noticed that some text is dark grey/black against a black background, which makes it very difficult to see; upon googling, I found out that the issue was fixed with a software update, so I looked through 'setting' for the update function, and immediately noticed, I was having difficulty find it, I thought it was weird to have it hidden like that; and again upon googling I found out that it's supposed to be in [Settings > System Update > Download and Install] it's not there. I can only find it by typing "system update" in the 'search' box, and even then touching "Download and install" did nothing, no feedback whatsoever.
Anyways upon further googling and googling, I came to the conclusion that the device is rooted and knox is tripped, now the problem is the product number of the device which caused me confusion, in the software and on sticker at the back of the device it states the following
SM-G960F
IMEI1: ***MOD EDIT-IMEI REMOVED***
IMEI2: ***MOD EDIT-IMEI REMOVED***
SN: ***MOD EDIT-SERIAL REMOVED***
MADE IN VIETNAM BY SAMSUNG
but when I got into Odin mode it states that the model number is actually SM-G960N. so my questions are:
1. if I were to flash back to an official firmware using odin should I use the one for SM-G960N or the one for SM-G960F? keeping in mind that this was peddled to me as dual sim device, and it does support two sim cards.
2. If my device is indeed Korean, is it okay if installed firmware with PDA: G960FXXU7CSJ1 instead of firmware PDA: G960NKSU2CSJ1? are there any differences?
3. is it possible to fix Samsung-related issues like the black text against black backgrounds through some other methods like using a different rom/launcher/environment or whatever?
4. how do you recommend I proceed? what would you do if you were in my place?
According to your IMEI (that btw you should never share publicly), your phone is a SM-G960N. If knox is tripped, the only way to update the software is to flash through Odin. Since your phone is already rooted, i also advice you to check out some custom rom you can find in this forum. They're a nice improvement over the stock firmware.
if you want official firmware, you have to install one from this list

does installing a custom rom fixes/removes samsung-related issues like the dark text against black backgrounds?
what harm could be done if people knew my IMEI?

If the custom rom is based on a samsung firmware that already fixes the issue then yes. For what i've found , your issue was fixed around of April 2019, so any ROM based on a firmware released after that date will include the fix.
Regarding the IMEI, you don't share it because is an unique identifier number. It's like giving out your ID card or passport number. Someone could impersonate you with your phone company and provide the IMEI as a proof.

thanks for the answers effry, I do have one more though so bare with me.
the currently installed firmware is SM-G960Fblahblahblah (europe/worldwide), if I instead flash to official firmware from the SM-G960N (Korea) ones as you suggested, will that change the supported cellular bands? I live in Libya.

Since you have now an "F" firmware, you could try first an SM-G960F ROM , then if you encounter issues i'd give a shot to the korean one.
For lybia the latest firmware is this:
https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s9/firmware/SM-G960F/BTC/download/G960FXXU7CSJ1/296419/
My theory is that your phone is an SM-G960N, but someone flashed an "F" firmware on it.

Just tried to flash the libyan (SM-G960F) firmware, it got stuck on system.img (odin said "secure check fail (bootloader)). anyways this what odin mode in my phone says
product code: SM-G960N
current binary: Custom (what does this mean?)
system status: Official (what does this mean in relation to "current binary: custom"?)
FAP lock: off
OEM lock: off
Secure Download: Enabled
Warranty Void: 1 (0x400)

You have to enable OEM unlock in developer options , then retry flashing

heh!! he made the same mistake i did and called it FAP lock!! LOCK DOWN ALL THE FAPPING!!!
also, i 100% agree with reflashing. Id even suggest trying it on a different computer. Install the system wide adb on the other computer, download Odin and get a fresh download of the firmware and reflash
