[Q] Weird problem. Software or hardware? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everybody,
First of all, on 4.3 I couldn't get wifi to turn on. Here is a list of what I tried when I was on 4.3:
- I've already flashed many different stock and custom roms
- I've tried the wifi fixes, the non-hlos.bin fixes with every rom
- Friedrich420's build.prop tweaks and wifi files.
- Custom kernels
- Different modems
- Dial *#0011# and disable wifi power saving mode.
Now I've updated to 4.4.2 XXUFNA5 to see if that fixes the issue, but still no luck. Now it's even worse. No wifi and I can't even root the phone anymore (using cf auto root, haven't found another way yet but SuperSU sais 'no su binary installed' and closes...). However I can still install a custom recovery, but after installing any rom (4.4.2 ofcourse) the boot animation doesn't change, still says samsung, and I'm in a bootloop . Can't even install a pre-rooted stock rom. Tried both cwm and twrp several times.
I purchased the phone with the wifi problem, in the hope i could fix it and have a cheap galaxy s4. The previous owner said he hadn't done anything to the phone (no software of hardware changes). However konx was already 0x1.
Does anyone know what the problem can be?

Really no one with a possible solution?

why don't you try to clean flash with odin a stable rom?
I suggest 4.3 (you will have the knox issue, I don't mind)

The same happened with me.
I flashed the stock rom and the problem got solved.
I guess problem was with the kernels

have you tried a custom ROM like Cyanogen Mod?

Yes I've also tried a few custom roms on 4.3, but on 4.4 I ways get in a bootloop when trying to install a custom rom (4.4 ofcourse). Bootanimations doesn't even change. I don't think the error is in the system or the data folder, I've tried really everything within these folders. Can the problem be somewhere else? There's also a wpa_supplicant in etc/wifi, but that gets updated bij the wpa_supplicant.conf in data/misc/wifi right? So I don't think that can be the problem?

I am in the exact same boat as you except I didn't upgraded my bootloader to 4.4.2, was about to these days. I flashed about 7-8 different stock firmwares with the wifi fix for each. I, same as you bought the phone cheaper with this problem and thought I could fix it. I read somewhere that downgrading to 4.2.2 will help somehow but downgrading for me is impossible. I am getting desperate, please if you ever find a fix post it here or private message me. I know that is software and not hardware because in the first day I bought it I managed to fix it on the firmware it came with MK8 by flashing a lot of stuff in random order : CF auto root, wifi fix MK8, MK8 modem, philz_touch_6.07.9-jfltexx, don't remember what I did exactly, but made it work and then installed another stock firmware XXUENA4 , and it kept working on this firmware also all day long, and then next day after I started the phone it worked for about 5 min then it turned off and stayed off till now no matter what. I tend to be a rational person and try to find reasons for everything but for the life of me I can't figure out this one so really please help me, any one with any possible explanation. Can it be hardware after all? But how did I fix it once, and why can't I fix it again by doing the same same steps? My new plan is to try flashing bootloaders only as if this might work somehow. At this point for me is all about trying all sorts of mojo like flashing exactly 3 times modem then 3 times wifi fix, wipe data and factory reset from stock recovery before rom boots first time, and all sorts of wackadoo stuff.
Please really help me because my only other solution is to change the motherboard for 200 . Btw mine is i9505, u didn't mention yours.

Finally someone with the exactly the same problem! Yea mine is a i9505 too. I've also tried al those things like flashing 3 times without auto reboot etc, but nothing worked for me.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2539904 some people say it is possible to downgrade the bootloader, but I haven't tried it yet because I'm afraid I will brick the bootloader and I don't have a jtag. What I'm now thinking about is to buy another cheap s4 with broken screen, replace the motherboard and sell the rest. I've tried everything with the software and put so much time in it, I think just replacing the motherboard is one of the only solutions left. But till the time I found one, I'll just keep trying. If you ever find a way to fix, I'd still love to hear it

Regarding your rooting problem have you read this ? Some one who helped a lot of people with wifi fixes advised me to try and downgrade with mobile odin, but still want to try a couple of 4.3 modems before downgrading. It s software but can't be fixed so frustrating!

Yea I used an outdated cf autoroot... But you can't downgrade to 4.3 once you've installed a newer bootloader, right? And I've tried about 20 different 4.3 modems, but no wifi with any modem

Well, my understanding is that if you downgrade with mobile odin, you only downgrade the firmware and not the bootloader and after you should make OTA update to the latest version and then it might work. Have you tried flashing CSC also and ticking re-partition, or maybe even fill out all fields in Odin instead of flashing just PDA(AP) ? I have never used Mobile Odin but will try soon and post results!

OTA isn't going to work since I have no wifi, but I guess kies will work too?
I've flashed csc also, haven't done re partition yet since it usually bricks the phone when I try it (or I'm always using the wrong pit files...). I've tried all the fields and just pda/ap.

There must be someone in xda who has a greater understanding of how bootloaders work how wifi works, how is modem related bootloader and to wifi and why this happens only to knox 0x1 and what to try, surely it cand be done. I will keep trying anything and everything and post here if relevant. I am gonna mention that at some point in time I succeded in making it work propely, so there is still hope. Hang in there!

Could be possible EFS corruption??
Do you have your MAC address still? Open EFS/wifi and check your .mac.info file.

No data after flashing update to stock kit kat 4.4.2!

Have a D802 on three uk. Like others went down the route of rooting and flashing cm 11 on my device. All quite straight forward, never had a problem... decide to purchase an s5 so now need to sell my lg. Originally flashed a stock Rom through TWRP and now unable to receive data. Though it was a problem with the rom so I flashed LG firmware through update tool. And have three UK firmware on but same problem!! All toggles selected..data,3G, airplane mode on off, reboot. ..nothing. my 3 UK sim works fine on my s5 so not that. I can get signal fine but no data. Would really appreciate some help as I cannot understand what's the problem. Especially as I can get signal but no data and works fine in my s5 ?

I suspect you didn't do a FULL wipe before flashing....
Suggest you try that first as the APNs for 3UK may be corrupt.
You could try manually setting the APNs but honestly, the Factory Reset option and reflash is easier and fully effective.
The one thing I didn't try. Worked. Thanks very much.....wanna by an lg g2 haha. Cheers bud

No doubt that is frustrating. But no one can answer your question and if you think about it for a moment, it should be apparent why that is: you haven't provided any meaningful amount of detail for us to examine.
By analogy. If i said my car doesn't always work, what is the problem? Or my cake never comes out right, what is the problem? Could you answer those questions? Could anyone? No, because there aren't any details to work with. You need to at least write a better description of your situation. A detailed account of what led up to this, what you have tried and observed, your firmware version, carrier and anything else that seems relevant. And then someone will try to help you.
The very best that someone could do at this point is make a long list of possible causes. It would make far more sense for you to provide a detailed description of your situation first. After all you are the one asking for help. So why not try to provide as much information as possible, so that people can help you more effectively?

I apologize in fact I'm afraid. ok the firmware is g900fxxu1ane2 and CSC is g900foxx1and3. the screen goes black the soft touch does work infact i can hear the sound. but the screen is black. after the phone reebots.

Network continuallly disconnecting on i9505

Tonight I installed KitKat 4.4.4 (tried 2 different 4.4.4 roms) on an i9505 which was previously running jelly bean (stock, touchwiz).
The phone network keeps disconnecting on it. If I go into wireless and networks/more/mobile networks/network operators and select my provider through there, it will connect and work fine for a while, but will then disconnect itself again randomly. The IMEI is all fine. This is the first time i've really been stuck with a problem, and i've been flashing roms on multiple phones for a long time.
Why would it be working, but keep disconnecting itself? So annoying..
Anyone able to give me some help here please? Would really be much appreciated, thanks..
Just thought....
My mate whose phone it is has gone away so I won't be able to try this until tomorrow, but maybe it's not a UK baseband on it..
I'm sure I've used basebands before though that weren't specifically for my country on other galaxy phones, but it's a good possibility do you think? I didn't think it could cause that, until now..
I can't believe I never thought of trying that at the time, I'll find out if that is the problem tomorrow.
Solved!!
For anyone experiencing the same problem...
Flash a baseband which is specifically for your country with Odin - WITH AUTO REBOOT UNCHECKED
take battery out. Boot into download mode. Flash the same baseband again. For some reason if you only flash it once and leave reboot checked it doesn't work.
Phone will boot, and you will find that the problem is fixed.
Hope this helps someone else avoid the **** that I encountered.
Thanks!

Nice to see this thread has helped a few people.
I was scratching my head for a while with that problem, and I'd consider myself pretty experienced with android and flashing ROMs.
I was searching the net, and I found forum posts of people saying they had the same problem, I even found posts that said SOLVED!!! in them, with no explanation as to how it was solved lol. Great help.
Anyways, peace all.
And 1eyedmonster, just gimme a shout if you want the one I used and I'll send you it, or pm me your gmail add, whatever..

It was this issue that has stopped me from flashing aosp and cm 11 in the past as as soon as I booted and set up my apps I would lose signal and would have to aeroplane mode on and off before I could regain signal again and the only roms that I could use was goldeneye and miuiandroid miuiandroid
Thanks to you I will probably spend the weekend flashing Mrs won't be happy [emoji12]

Good stuff, glad to hear it.
The lesson is to always post the solution when you find it. There's nothing more annoying than reading a long thread of a problem you have too, and when the guy gets it fixed he doesn't come back to post the fix...

Need help locating and solving a problem

So, my rooted N3 (running latest Crash Rom) has tge following problem: The ear-speaker (the one you hold your ear against while on the phone) has gone completely silent. The only way for me to call is using the loudspeaker. Or, and this is where it gets weird, using headphones.
I say weird, because the headphones jack and the ear-speaker are the same replacement part (so I guess the connect using the same wires too)
I went to a repair shop, they switched out the part, but even with a new part it disn't work. (They put back in the old one which saved me 70€)
They suggested it was a software problem and I should try to do a factory reset. I did just that but still using Crash Rom subsequently. I'm not saying it's a Rom or Kernel problem, a friend who works ar Orange even suggested it might be the motherboard or something.
The problem is, the phone is rooted and afaik the Knox counter is tripped.
Is there *any* way for me to either pin down the exact nature of the problem, or, go back to exact factory specs so I can claim guarantee (I guess that's not possible)
I'm not *too* knowledgeable as far as all this is concerned, unfortunately. I can follow rooting instructions and never bricked this phone (or the N-7000 I had before) which is more than most people I know can do, but unfortunately I'm still nowhere near an expert as most people here, hence my call for help.
Any ideas?

You can easily browse the firmwares and get the download links with this app:
Phone INFO ★Samsung★ > Menu > 'Firmware Browser'.
Well I reinstqlled firmware via Odin. No change. Speaker still dead
And Knox says Warranty void 0x1
Well... since going back to unrooted stock didn't solve anything... might as well root again.
What's the latest safe way to root and has anyone got any recommendations for a good ROM. I liked Crash ROM but I'm open for something else, as long as it's STABLE, UNBLOATED and CLEAN. No need for a gazillion bells and whistles, I need stability and maybe the possibility to center the clock on top, add circle battery and date

Downgrade to older bootloader and modem?

Is it possible? For example going from the POK1 BL and modem to older ones?
Come on, you can literally type Yes/No and its done! 120 people have seen this and not ONE had 5 secs to spare?!
I have a many Problems after the Downgrade, no Samsung Firmware works no Imei only CM12.1 works. The BL and Modem COJ3...
I will make a new test this Week... Sorry for my Bad English...

After almost 2000 posts to your credit and being on XDA since 2012, everyone is probably confused as to why you're asking and why you haven't tried already.
If K1 is not a locked bootloader, like we've now seen with the COJ5, you should be able too.
I've never seen anyone post not being able to flash back to an older modem. Unless it was user error like picking the wrong one, for a different phone.

I'm just too afraid of permanently damaging my phone.
Numbers do not matter, I still learn. Sure, I know more than someone new to the community but that doesnt change the fact that I dont know everything.
The person right above you has problems with his phone now. I'm just trying to prevent that from happening to me too.
Anyway, if I flash the COJ5 bootloader, there is no going back?

Yes don't flash Coj5 to avoid stucking with 5.1.1 roms
That's all good luck
