[issue]WiFi Toggle Does not Work

I got my S4 these days. I have flashed XXUAME2 with Odin, rooted the phone, tried MIUI, but was not satisfied. So I restored the backup. Everything was working fina till I installed Adaway and rebooted the phone. Suddenly the wifi was not working anymore. I clicked on the wifi-witch to activate WiFi - no result. Then I rolled back the backup, installed the I9505_XXUEMJ5_MODEM, installed even the "fix". But the wifi still does not work.
Now I just want to have a normal S4 with the original rom, rooted - and working wifi.
What should I do?
Thanks a lot in advance! :highfive:

Hello mate please download this file and flash it via odin by selecting phone, and Remember to turn it off your phone manually before flashing any modem,If the problem still persist please tell me if your in old bootloader or the new bootloader and will be happy to assist you have a nice day.
To check your bootloader go to download mode and if you have an entry of Knox warranty void then you are having the new bootloader.
If you are having the old bootloader XXUB flash http://www.mediafire.com/download/48r0rgqv25s8968/GSM_Modem_XXUEMFK_and_LTE_Modem_XXUBMH1.rar file with odin by selecting phone.
If you are having the new bootloader XXUD flash http://www.mediafire.com/download/zriv6i5c01lqns6/GSM_Modem_XXUEMFK_and_LTE_Modem_XXUMFK.rar file with odin by selecting phone.

First, wow, thanks for that fast reply, dude! Ok, I have 0x1, that means, I have to flash the file for the new bootloader, right?
Is there anywhere a mirror? I am in China right now and mediafire is blocked.
Cheers :highfive:

Edit: if flashing a different kernel thats not work then I think the only way to fix this would be to flash a complete official stock firmware which you can get it from here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/ or if you want a pre-rooted you can follow the instruction here.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250824 have a nice day sir and merry christmas to you.

Cool, I saw your edit post. Thanks, dude.
What Firmware should I choose? The phone was bought in Germany from BASE. BASE is using the E-Plus network. But the phone is not branded nor carrier-locked. Should I choose the E-Plus Firmware?
Plus. How to install the Firmware? Just use Odin3 to flash it?

if you want a stock rom from samsung you can go from here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/ and if you want a pre-rooted rom you can go from here as well http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250824 Have a nice day.
Remember to follow any instruction before flashing. you have to flash the firmware via odin and select pda. And flash away. And sorry that i cannot assist you for now because ill be having a dinner with my family and hoping someone will help you to fix this problem if the problem still persist after flashing the stock firmware. Merry christmas to you n your family . And xda community

Ok, understood, thanks.:good:
I want to get a pre-rooted ROM. What version should I pick? I want to have Android 4.3 and (if possible) de-bloated. My Knox is 0x1 and I don't really care about Knox or Knox-related features.
The list here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250824 is very long and complicated. I read through it two times and am not sure what ROM to download.
Can anyone assist, please?
Merry Christmas everyone! :highfive:

Alright, I have installed this pre rooted version. Wifi works again, thanks.
One annoying issue: everytime I restart the phone, I have to activate Wifi again and re-enter the password.
Edit: Another very annoying issue: I believe that screen is not being dimmed correctly. It is always to dark, even in a very bright enviroment. Plus: the LEDs of both hardware keys are always on when the screen is on.
I just want to have the normal Samsung Stock rooted.
What am I doing wrong?

If you installed the pre-rooted rom and your having a problem do a factory reset bro phone settings> accounts > backup and reset >Factory reset . Or turnb off your device manually and wait a few sec hold power+volume up the same time and do it there as well, Make sure to use the odin 3.09 when your flashing ..ODIN has problems with flashing latest FW's and if WiFi doesn't work you MUST flash ROM again

No If you download the pre-rooted rom you need to flash it via odin , just like how you flash the stock rom have a nice day.
Edit: if you see a .tar inside of the file means you need to flash it via odin

Understood. Alright, since I don't want to lose all my apps and settings, I decided to flash the Wifi-Fix: XXUEMKE WiFi_FIX
I used Odin to flash this tar.
Unfortunately the Wifi has still the same issue like in the beggining.
Is there an option to flash the wifi fix in the recovery?

The question is, did u even extract the file you download ? And no you can only flash it via odin and select phone/cp
Sent from my Phone.

Hey, thanks for your help, mate!
Yap, I have extracted the file and flashed the *.tar via odin. Still no result.
Alright, to sum it up. The fix does not work for me. Why? Should I try to flash another Modem?
edit: I really want to have the phone working now. I dont care about other modifications, I just want to have the basic OS rooted. That is all. How to do this?

If i have this problem right now,the best thing i will do is either to flash pre-rooted rom or the stock rom if there is any Fc and such . Just turn of your phone the wait a few sec and hold power+volume up in order to reach recovery and do a wipe cache and a factory reset . Hehe
Edit:you already did flash the pre rooted that joku gave u right? Reflash it and follow the step above
Sent from my Phone.

Ok, thanks.
There are no FC at all, just the wifi is the problem.
However, I will flash I9505XXUAME2_MODEM, apply the fix and hope that it will work.
Should I flash modem with odin via "PDA" oder via "PHONE"?
Another question: If I download a pre-rooted ROM and flash it via the recovery, will the new modem be included in the ROM?
Thanks again, mate.

There is no fix for the UAME2. That sucks.

Download odin 3.09 its better to use it with s4.
If your gonna flash the modem always use PHONE/CP. If your flashing pre-rooted rom from djembey or samsung stock firmware always use PDA. And if you download custom rom such as omega,phoenix,golden,etc.etc then you flash that via recovery using either CWM, philz or twrp.
Edit try emj5 wifi fix if not just do a fresh install

You can't flash Lollipop firmware BTU (unlocked version) if your device is branded to T-mobile (EE). You will have to come back to Kit Kat:
1. Download this firmware: HERE.
2. Unzip and flash it via ODIN unticking "AUTOREBOOT" (like in the pic attached). Let the process finish.
3. Take out the battery for 10 sec. and put it in again. Reboot in STOCK RECOVERY and Wipe data/Factory reset. "Reboot system now" then.
4. Good luck :highfive:

Ok going to try that!
5 hours left to download :|! Hopefully that will work!
No other download portals? Not really worth the money to pay 7Euro just to download 1 file :'(!
So the only way to get 5.0.1 is to wait or root?
Thanks for the reply! <3!

Yep. But rooting opens a whole new world of possibilities.
Even if you stay on stock rom, you can still do useful stuff.

Can you link me a guide to rooting guide for i9505 S4, with a stock ROM! I want it to look like the normal official ROM! I am kinda a noob at this stuff, as you can see from messing up a simple update by not checking if it actually works on me EE handset :'(!
Seeing as I have to wait 3 hours more for the 4.4.2 to download, I might aswell root it to 5.0.1 as you say, if it's fully functioning!

You only need to install a custom recover, but this won't require root. You will need root only if you want to backup your apps.
Touchwiz Lollipop Official Deodexed Rom for I9505 [LRX22C.I9505XXUHOB7]
[ROM] [5.0.1] [XXUHOB7] [STOCK] AMBASADII [KNOX 0x0] [DE-BLOATED] [MULTI-CSC]
[ROM][TW][OB8][LOLLIPOP][5.0.1] Imperium LL v2.0 [FAST][SMOOTH][STABLE][19/03/15]
Those are the 3 roms that appear on the first page of the i9505 android development section. I don't use any of those, I prefer GPE or AOSP. Currently using GPE.

Hi there
I am in Saudi Arabia , I pre-ordered the device and I get that version SM-G925i.
Since that time I was upset because I was waiting for the international one , you know most developments are going to the international one.
My question is , are we going to get support and development for ours ( ROMS,MODS..etc.) ?
thanks in advance.

I was thinking about developing my own rom. I was gonna wait though. Im a bit of a perfectionist and i dont really have the time to dedicate what would be needed to fulfil the project

Sprint S5 Soft-Bricked after trying to install Chainfire Drivers

Hi, I tried to install chainfire on my new S5 after just rooting it and now it's softbricked. I tried flashing the stock firmware after this and I get an error message. Probably a newbie mistake, but I can't seem to get it to work. I have TWRP recovery currently installed.
Heres the error message after trying to install the stock firmware, also have the same problem when trying to use one-click methods.

Tried just Factory resetting from TWRP?

Yeah, but it just seems to be stuck in the samsung loading screen still.

At a guess, you were already on Lollipop, and that ROM you are trying to flash is older than the version you were running?
Seen this a lot the last couple of weeks with this model S5, not found a solution yet
Try grabbing the latest ROM version from sammobile .com, see if that will flash
Alternatively - grab a custom ROM, wipe everything (system, data & caches), and flash that from TWRP
EDIT - Or from TWRP, go to the file manager, and try and undo whatever it was you did to brick it, (ie: remove the chainfire files from the OS)

Links to sammobile are banned here, you have to link them without them being a link if you get my drift
That ROM you linked is from Jan 2015
This one is from Dec 2015 (2 months old)
G900PVPU3BOK4

Ohh ok, and my bad. Would you happen to know when the latest version of the stock rom was released?
Alternatively, if I wanted to try a custom ROM what would my best bet be for the g900p?

That is the latest stock for your S5
Some reason the dates are different on the main screen vs the download, but Nov/Dec 2015 anyway
Model SM-G900P
Model name GALAXY S5
Country Spint (cdma)
Version Android 5.0
Changelist 4781399
Build date Tue, 10 Nov 2015 07:37:35 +0000
Product code SPR
PDA G900PVPU3BOK4
CSC G900PSPT3BOK4
Not sure about compatibility of custom ROMs for the G900P, but you could have a look around the CM13 thread, ask in there
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ent/rom-cyanogenmod-13-0-android-6-0-t3237502
There's a list of supported device 'types' not models, so might need a bit of googling

ODIN is only for Stock Samsung ROMs. you have to flash Custom from either Internal or External (MicroSD) storage & TWRP / Custom recovery
Make sure not to wipe Internal if you copy it to there though
And yea, it looks like the bootloader is the issue, trying to downgrade to earlier versions of Lollipop with the G900P
http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...nt/od3-stock-tar-file-odin-flashable-t3128657
I will warn you alot of people are saying once they upgraded to this bootloader they couldnt get OA6 roms to flash so beware.

Ok so if I were to flash this rom, and I just wanted to keep it at stock. would it be the newest version? Because once i fix it i don't plan on flashing it or downgrading for the time being.

Stuck on AT&T Unreleased beta nougat update from earlier this year

Hi, so i'd like to upgrade my AT&T GS7 G930A to the latest available version of android that's released, as i'm still on the nougat beta update from earlier this year that wasn't officially released(meaning i'm still only at security update's from january 2017), however, none of the odin files i've tried have worked (links will be below) it keeps getting stuck at "Initializing" and on my phone it keeps saying "Odin Protocol version error", so i was hoping you guys would be able to help me

and https://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s7/how-to/g930a-android-n-offical-odin-package-t3567801
the version currently installed on my phone is G930AUCU4BQA4

You need to go completely back to stock in order to get back on nougat latest I suggest that you flash back to the pk1 marshmallow 6.0 and use the odin provided by Sam mobile

how would i go about finding these files? as you can see by one of the links in my post, i already tried the PK1 firmware from here

From what I learned it always ends up being an Odin problem not going back just try different versions of Odin make sure your restart your phone when putting it in download mode

Try just flashing the CSC file with that Odin version. It contains the .pit file to format your partitions. If that works you should then be able to flash all 4 files.

so do you have any links to both the PK1 files and odin that you know work? because i still have this problem, and everything i've tried just keeps giving me the same errors, either that odin protocol mismatch, or the model dismatch failure (and you also said try sammobile odin? i can't find it, and their website seems to insist that the G930A doesn't exist)

Sorry for bumping, but I'd really like to fix this
