Hi everyone, long time reader, first time poster.
First of all, i want to let you all know how i appreciate all the hard work you guys do on here. i was able to get all the info i needed to get my ATT n7105 back to stock after running CM 10.2 for the last year on it.
Back on topic...i have an S4 i337 running 4.3 MK2. when i first flashed it, for the longest time i couldnt figure out why i couldnt get signal or wifi, and found out needed to flash the MK2 modem firmware also (thanks for the info on that also). now the issue i am having is that now the phone has no sound at all, tried playing music, recieving a call (which makes the phone go total bonkers too), or even the beep it makes when adjusting the volume. I have tried searching for info on sound issues, but that was one thing i was unsuccessful with.
when i first got the phone, it had 4.2.2 (not sure of the firmware) and wanted to unlock it to use any carrier rather than just ATT. the only way of unlocking it, rather than getting an unlock code, was to go into service mode, and navigate through some menus, but i read that with 4.2.2, i could not, so i done an /ota update, which brought me straight to 4.4.3. after the unpdate, tried doing the service mode again, and had no luck, so tried downgrading to 43].3, than went to hell trying to get it working, untill coming across these forums, and got it working again with 4.3 MK2, but as mentioned, with no sound.
Any advice on what to try?
Thanks in advance.

You don't have sound or the ability to call because your bootloader and non-hlos don't match. You can get sound by flashing the NB1 or NC1 modems(including non-hlos.bin) but that will break your wifi which can be fixed by using bypasslkm.
Sure, ill give that a try.
What if i were to update it to 4.4.3? any certain modems required there?

Whenever i tried flashing NB1 or NC1, i get an error saying "signature verification failed, then later on give an error "unknown path \sdcard1" after wiping data, then reboots. and when the phone rebooted, it goes through the first time setup after a wipe, and then checking the modem, and its still NK2.
I really would like to get it to the current version.

Awesome! thank you very much
With the instructions you provided, i was able to get my i337 in working order.
your assistance is greatly apreciated
Hi there. Very sorry to post about this - I've tried my best to solve the issue on my own and doing various searches, here and elsewhere, but to no avail. Long and short of it is that WiFi and Bluetooth both seem to have died on me.
I have a Canadian Bell Samsung Galaxy S4 (SGH-I337M). I have been installing Danvdh's Google Edition ROM for some time now, and so far, it's been great. After installing 4.4.4 (clean, after a full wipe), it seemed to work, but my phone froze up - completely unresponsive, including the power switch. Pulled the battery but then afterwards could not turn on WiFi or BT - just says "Turning Wifi On" but nothing ever happens - the message just stays there perpetually. Bluetooth same thing, except the message goes away after a few seconds.
I've tried all of the following to try to restore WiFi, none of which has worked:
- Odin reflash of modem.bin and NON-HLOS.bin, multiple times (from the most recent stock ROM for my device - I337MVLUFNE1, 4.4.2)
- Complete reversion to stock (I337MVLUFNE1, 4.4.2) using Odin - neither WiFi nor BT worked under stock either
- Factory reset while in stock
- After rooting stock, using an SQL editor to check the value of wifi_display_on - it was 0 but just to make sure I set it to 0 again
- After rooting stock, deleting wpa_supplicant.conf in both /data/misc/wifi/ and /etc/wifi/
- Reinstalling Danvdh 4.4.4 (clean), but this time with the Googy kernel rather than the KT kernel (in both cases it was the customized version, not the pure Nexus one)
- Also tried, just for the heck of it, switching to ART to see if that might make a difference - it didn't
- Ringing a bell, opening a book and lighting a candle
In other words, I am at my wits' end. If anyone might have any suggestions - even just a link to some other possible solution I would be most grateful. I have tried searching, both in XDA and elsewhere, for a possible solution and have tried everything I've found, but so far, nothing has worked. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
Please note - I originally posted this in the thread for Danvdh's ROM. I didn't get any feedback there, so suspect I perhaps might be posting the question in the wrong place, so am trying here, in addition to the thread for Canadian S4s. I trust such cross-posting is OK (but if not please let me know).

To be honest, I have no idea if that could be related... on one of my I9300, directly after OTA, I lost the WiFi and BT. Problem was WiFi or/and BT, when I pressed to switch it on, was turning on, for maybe 0.5 sec, and then was turning itself off.
now the funny story: because I unrooted it and cleaned prior to OTA, it was immaculate, so I took it to Sammys hiTech local specialists.
They two times were returning phone to me, stating that they are unable to repeat the problem. So, I asked them to not send it back, and that I'll pick it from Service Centre. I used that opportunity, and asked another local master to show me how to use the WiFi on my 100% working phone. He itself packed it into same envelope and disappeard for half a time, after that itme I was informed that my phone will be sent to me after motherboard replacement.
now, the correlation: no (in theory) action which could affect hardware, obviously CAUSED damage. If I'd be you, I'd try to restore the clean condition, and I'd go to service centre.

Thanks very much - appreciate the suggestion, but the warranty on my phone ended last month, so I'd get hit for a bill for the repair.
You raise a good point - it may well be a simple hardware failure that happened, coincidentally, when I updated. Alas, I wouldn't know where to begin to try to figure out whether or not it is a hardware failure...
I have the same problem with WiFi (bluetooth works though) after upgrading to 4.4.2 today.
The only modification I had done before were CF-AutoRoot and TWR.
I unrooted from SuperSU's menu prior to upgrading to stock 4.4.2 with KIES, everything seemed to work, except now I can't turn on wifi.
Where can I get the modem.bin for a Canadian Bell Samsung Galaxy S4 (SGH-I337M)?
Thanks for any help!
Here's the about screen: (Shouldn't the Baseband version be the same as the build? What gives?)

I don't remember where I got mine but it was extracted from the latest stock rom. Googling the build led me to this page, which seems to have links to download the most recent stock for the S4.
Not sure about your other question. I know when I update a new custom rom, the baseband version doesn't change - that only changes when I update the modem or flash an updated stock rom using Odin. You might also want to try flashing the NON-HLOS.bin file - I read elsewhere that that has helped others. Of course, feel free to also try all the other options I've noted above.
In case it helps other people with the same problem, here's what I did that fixed the WiFi issue:
I flashed the latest modem.bin (twice) and NON-HLOS.bin, but it didn't fix the WiFi.
I flashed the latest stock ROM, and now WiFi works.
Cheers.
Hey all! so.. my friend came from U.S and he got me a used Galaxy 4 from AT&T, and the Wifi is just stuck on a green grey situation, its not on or off
i tried any solution online that i could find. i don't know what to do anymore. nothing helping the things that are only helping was changing the router settings to a different encryption mode from WEP and then its worked but when i connected my gs4 to a different wifi connection the problem happened again
the wifi can work days if I'm not switching wifi spots.
my only solution by now was just to change to a whole new custom ROM
the problem is, that i have NO IDEA how to do it due the fact that i have a mac and i couldn't find a Proper noob guide from scratch to do that. please help me! i am a graphic designer and an artist with a MA in fine arts and i would love to help u guys too
Thank you so much!

This is what I used to get adb/fastboot on my iMac. I am on MDL build, early version phone.
You will need to find you build number first. Under Settings/About Device to determine how to flash roms on the phone--a screen of that page may help also--

hey thanks i added a photo but apparently i need 10 posts at least so just add www i58.tinypic.com/v41bue.png
the wifi is working cuz i restart it to manufacture settings again but soon as i will disconnect him and join a different connection he will go grey again
From the PM photo you are on NB1 build--
If you are going to root to flash a custom rom you will need the below two links--
Read Op page of first link, I think it depends on how the phone got to NB1 as which steps you need.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2616221
You will need SafeStrap in below link. So, read up on that.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448925
These are if you are going to root to flash a rom. You can only flash Touch Wiz roms and no custom kernels or recovries.
If you want to get back to stock status you will need to flash the appropriare firmware and use Odin on a PC and Heimdall on Mac. Will have to research that.
What carrier are you on and where you are at?
Was the phone ever rooted--
I never returned to stock or used SafeStrap, so someone with hands on experience will have to help on that.
Hiii....I am also having the same problem.My phone was unlocked by a guy and everything was working fine then.From next day the i could not turn on WiFi(It would go grayish for some time and then return to normal).I tried searching for it online and found the following soln
1)Reboot and check(Didn't work)
2)Factory Reset:After doing this it worked for that initial scanning but again was back to normal once wifi was switched off
3)Factory reset and installed root browser(my phone is rooted as i was able to install root explorer) and tried renaming the wpa-supplant config file
.This was worked for me for like 4 days.
After that again the problem is back and its even worse.It is immediately turning off as opposed to delay in previous case.When i tried to follow the same procedure the config files are not present.I could not on wifi even after factory reset even once
As i am a new around here detailed help would be appreciated;
My Device Features:
1)Andriod:4.4.2,SGH I337
2)Baseband:I337UCUFNC1
3)kernel Version:3.4.0-1125940
4)Build No:KOT49H.I337UCUFNC1
I've spent a lot of time now trying to fix my phone and i'm really quite worried.
It's a Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-I337M (CSC I337MOYAAAMDJ, Baseband I337MVLUAMDJ, version 4.2.2).
I have had CM 10 on it running perfectly fine for about a year. I decided to update it though and didn't know that you could update CM right from the phone , so I downloaded the software from their site onto my phone and onto my PC. Followed the instructions installation froze and didn't move forward for over a day .... so I gave up.
I went looking for and downloaded the phone's stock firmware for both my carrier (Virgin Mobile, Canada) and for Bell's, so I installed TWRP with Odin 3.07 without issue. When I install the stock firmware my WiFi will not turn on.
So i've tried installing several rom's putting them on the SD card and using TWRP on my phone and i've found out that if I use Goldeneye and tell it my phone is an I9505, or hyperdrive (I9505) or at the moment Google Play Edition (JFLTE 5.01, kernel = Googy-Max3) that the WiFI DOES TURN ON as soon as the rom is loaded !!! So I thought I was good, but no
When flashed with either it's stock I337M firmware or these custom I9505 rom's my phone will play no audio. Chrome just crashes if I go to play any music or video. If someone call's, the ringer doesn't work but after several 'rings' my phone start's to vibrate indicating they called (aka the dialer lags out and then crashes). I can make calls too but when I talk the recipient can't hear me, nor I them.
It downloaded and re-installed all the app's of my google backup totally fine and using wi-fi. It play's games fine (but with no sound), i can txt fine, etc. It notices and connects to the network (Virgin Mobile) fine (I turned off wifi and tried downloaded stuff, txts go back and forth, and my phone labels Virgin)
I'm on a stupid 2 year contract and this phone cost $650 at the time I got it. It's knox 0x1 so no warranty to have it repaired. Does ANYONE have ANY idea what might be causing my phone not to play any sound's? I've tried pretty much everything I can think of.
I'd be willing to live with a totally cripples phone ... but it's got to at least work for receiving or sending phone calls and this sound issue crashes the dialer and even if I manage to pickup when it's vibrating before the other person has hung up there's no sound, neither of us can hear each other .
Does ANYONE have ANY idea what could be doing this or how to fix it? I'm so depressed and worried right now that I just a phone I spent a lot of money and am on a stupid contract on :/. I fixed the wifi problem by flashing with a rom that 'makes it' a GT-I9505G, baseband I337MUMUAMDL (v 5.0.1) (vs SGH-I337M, baseband I337MVLUAMDJ (v 4.2.2)), but the same sound and audio/media problem exist's no matter what firmware or version the phone ends up being .
I should have just left it with CM as it was but *sigh* here I am, please help.

try with this firmware
lets me see
k thanks i'll try it (once it's slow download is done) and update this post. Looks the same except I guess it's android v5.0.1 (well and it's a different CSC/PDA).
K well i've tried that firmware and it's given me some abnormal problems.
Odin typically just writes in like two minutes and boom done, but when I tried to flash with the firmware you suggested like every 15 seconds it would say ...
"Receive Response from boot -loader"
"Transmission Complete.."
"Now Writing .. Please wait about 2 minutes"
It kept cycling through those 3 messages until it FINALLY finished and it say's PASS but it took 9 min 53 seconds which is like 5 times longer then it's ever taken.
Wheather this is relevant or not i'm not sure just trying to give as much details as I can.
Anyways, after booting the phone the samsung logo came up as usual and usually it takes like 5-10 min sitting at this logo before the phone completes loading, presumably setting up the firmware I imagine.
It's been now sitting at that logo for over 20 minutes and i'm about to try wiping with TWRP the davlic cache/cache/data/internal and either trying again with odin (v3.07) OR
If that contines to not work I might put the tar.md5 on the external SD card and recover a saved backup I have on the SD card (with the stock firmware I had before that doesn't allow Wi-Fi to be enabled nor audio/media to play) and use Mobile Odin Pro .apk (I paid for the pro version) from within that restored recovery to flash the firmware you suggested to my phone again.
This is probably redundant but I just figure I might as well try absolutely everything I can possibly think of with your firmware.
If you have any idea why I might be experiencing these abnormal Odin flashing and/or initial loading conditions of the firmware you (or anybody ) suggested i'd appreciate any advice you can give.
I'm going to try and reflash with Odin on my PC again right now (i'm certain thing's like the USB cable are fine and my PC and phone can transfer data without issue .. but that's why i'm going to try mobile odin if after this next attempt doesn't work either).
I'll keep the thread updated, any and all advice is welcomed and highly appreciated
EDIT: OMG it made a like startup theme sound ... that's the first time it's outputted sound in 3 day's !!! It's at the Samsung screen loading the newly flashed firmware so hopefully that completes because wow my phone made noise finally !! Now to wait, and wait....
It won't go past the Samsung logo. So I guess i'll try Mobile Odin. I don't have much faith but it's worth trying.
Uh the backup of the stock firmware I made won't load ... but the hyperdrive rom did. Sound and the dialer work perfectly fine in this rom now, so I guess thing's are more or less fixed. Even though i've wiped the cache/davlic/internal/data in order to prepare to flash the other firmware or this hyperdrive rom (I wipe it every time) in this rom it's reporting my phone's baseband to be I337MVLUGOC4 which is that of the firmware you suggested ...
I'd still rather not use this rom, I thought it was ok at first but meh i'm going to try to go back to CM (after all this *rolls eyes*), trying to use Mobile Odin to install the firmware that you recommended and that appears to have ... somehow fixed the sound can't detect the model of my phone and is dumping, this is not something that has happened with the app before so I don't think i'll be flashing the firmware you suggested.
If it did something to globally fix the crashing when an app was instructed to play audio as it appears to have I guess i'm going to just go download the full CM now, put it on the SD card and install it with TWRP.
So uh, not 100% there yet but it does appear what you've suggested has solved my problem (because worst case scenario i'll just be stuck with the Hyperdrive rom ... but i'll have a working phone) so thanks so much bud I was quite upset and worried about what I was going to do still paying off a useless phone on a contract i'm stuck with for another year still.
I suppose there's no real need in continuing to update this thread as it appears my problems are solved and all that's left are things i'm doing not to fix anything but just because of personal preference over what rom to use but if you want to know anything more just ask, otherwise thank you so much you saved my ass and i'm very grateful.
I don't know where else to put this since this phone does not have its own forum here.
Here is my problem...
My vista was rooted and I was going to sell it to a friend so I was doing a factory reset with the phones built-in option... And the stock factory reset makes it all the way to where I enter my first and last name and then after doing so I get this error...
LGsetupWizard has stopped (there are more words but this sums it up)
And then the Setup Wizard restarts.
I then go through the setup process again thinking it will go through this time... Same error message... LGsetupWizard has stopped, and it restarts itself.
I have searched for a fix for this EVERYWHERE and cannot find a fix... I cannot even find the stock rom/firmware for my device: AT&T LG G Vista D631
The official website has no download and the only "stock" ROM/firmware I can find is for the Verizon VS880 and it's counter parts...
Can ANYONE help me get this phone fixed and make it all the way through the LGsetupWizard without it looping/stopping/crashing???
Really need some help from the pros as I have exhausted all my tools/methods in finding a fix/solution.
EDIT: I am able to get into the settings menu (with fast fingers) right after I click OK to get rid of the error message.
I have turned on DEV MOD and enabled all the settings needed in order to flash stuff and put stuff onto the phone via computer USB...
How can I fix this problem if I am able to have access to DEV MOD on phone???
Problem solved.
I used LG D631 TOT DLL.rar and LG Flash Tool.
I forgot where I got these files from, but I am sure a simple search on a search engine will help you find them.
After I got it to boot back up, I used TitaniumBackup and found that LGSetupWizard was "frozen"... So I unfroze it and did the factory reset again and it went all the way through the LG Setup.
