[I9505] Wi-fi issue with HOH2 baseband - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys, I have flashed custom ROM based on HOH2 and I also have modem of same firmware, my wi-fi was working fine and it suddenly stopped working during use, Wi-Fi networks are detecting okay, but it doesn't connect with it at all, it does connect sometimes, and provides internet for sometimes, but after a while internet stops working, when I turn off and on again, it just doesn't connect with the wifi network. Is it known issue with HOH2 base & I will need to flash a modem fix or something? Or you are sensing hardware issue?
P.S I always used my phone with care, don't know what happened to the wifi while I was browsing, I hope it's not hardware fault and known issue with this base. Also this issue is on CM ROM as well as I checked, so only doubt is Hardware issue or baseband related?

Does anyone have the solution or I have to repair it?

Do a wipe data/factory reset from recovery.

Baseband doesn't affect wifi (Wifi relies on Kernel). Baseband is used by RIL. Have you tried Uzair40's suggestion ?

I downgraded completely to GN2 KitKat firmware through a tutorial and edited firmware posted here, and WiFi is working fine with it, i then upgraded to lollipop again and the problem reappeared (OH2 baseband/Kernel/Bootloader), so i switched back to GN2 again. Guess what, i think my device don't want me to upgrade anymore :/

Yes, i always do that when any such issue comes out, but it didn't fixed the WiFi..

what i would do now is :
- flash HOH2 without auto-reboot in ODIN
- reboot manualy in download mode
- flash HOH2 again with auto-reboot in ODIN
- let the rom completely boot
- reboot in recovery and do the factory reset
if you have the time, try this. If it dosen't work, try flashing another Kernel (Kushan, Hulk, or another TW compatible one..)

I have tried all of the mentioned kernels and most importantly

Do you have this problem in any rom?

My wifi didn't work on some Lollipop firmware. Did you try different Lollipop modems?

Nope Because i don't wanted to test other Modems based on Lollipop, but can you recommend me the latest working Lollipop modems that has no WiFi & LTE issues?

Why are you guys starting threads on a matter which is already discussed and solved within Omega Rom thread?

Here is way to resolve your problems:

3. If wifi is not working do this to fix it:
a. Flash with mobile Odin this tar file that contains the two XXUBMF8 modems -> http://dfiles.eu/files/qy2st0qmf more mirrors are posted for the modems at previous posts.
(some users reported that mobile odin causes problems to recovery)
or
b. Flash with odin 3.04 the two modems. Power off your device, then open it again and boot to download mode (not reboot at once to recovery) and flash the XXUBMF8 modems

CM 11 M7-M8 Internet Connection Problem

Wifi and MobileData connection is going(borken) frequently at the same time. Apps start saying "No internet connection" . Another example Whatsapp messages can't send. It's happening too frequently. I can't use my nexus4 properly. If there is no solution , I will turn back the official ROM-Kernel which comes from Google.
Note: There is no problem like this with official OS.
Do a reboot, turn your wlan router off for 5 minutes and turn it back on.

M8 is Android 4.4.4, right? Maybe you just need to update your radio (latest is 1.03). Look for it in the radio/modem collection thread.

You are using nexus 4 and cm11 . Do you have this problem ? ( Turn back the factory image is last thing i want to do. )
No, I dont and that is whats strange. Maybe flashing a new radio is the solution, but the radios should be imcluded in the update...

I saw you posted in the modem collection thread, so you should have the right .zip file (the link for 1.03 is in a couple of posts above yours in that thread). Well, just flash it from recovery.

Well, I suggest you to backup your current rom and try a clean install of CM (In recovery, do a factory reset, wipe system, dalvik and cache, then flash rom and gapps again) to see if it works. If not, do as @CCody said and flash full stock firmware.
Also, look the CM thread to see if there other users with this problem.

There is no way around full wipe. Do a nandroid backup over adb and try different roms out.

[Q] Signal lost after screen goes dark

I installed CM 12.1 with gapps on my S4, problem is when my screen goes dark(when pressing power button once or automaticly after 5mins) my signal is gone. When rebooting phone the signal is back or if I quicly do airplane mode on and then off again the signal is also back. So basicly I only have signal when the screen is on and not turned off at any point.
Tried flashing another rom but had same problem, any idea's what it could be?

Don't look at that. Just pick a lollipop modem. If you are no satisfied try another lollipop modem.

big Wi-fi problem

Hello everyone.
I have a big wifi problem with my I9505.
I can't turn the wifi on, when I was on AICP the wifi setting screen was stuck with a message "Activating WiFi'
I don't think thait it is a hardware problem because time to time, after a reboot it randomly work until the next reboot.
I've tried to update to the next stock rom with a full wipe and it didn't solved the problem.
Thanks you all for your help and excuse me for my poor english.

1. Well, you have wrong firmware installed. You will have to flash via ODIN this ONE.
2. Try the WIFI now when finish the boot process.
3. Dial *#1234# when finish the flashing process and tell me what appears if you still without WIFI.

Lollipop doesn't work like android KitKat. Everyday people tell me exactly this and "Recent" no means that will work in your device. Downgrade isn't a problem atm coz you are on Lollipop and you want flash Lollipop too.
Thanks you for you help.
I have flashed the firmware you gave me.
Unfortunatly it didn't solved the problem but the wifi worked at the first boot and then after a reboot I can't switch it back on.
I really don't understant what's the problem with my phone.
[EDIT] I have attached screenshots from phone info.
Thanks a gain for your help.

It's hardware. You can try to clean the wifi/bluetooth chip in your device. Or you have to find someone who can replace the chip for you.

If it's a hardware problem, how it is possible that sometimes it works?

No flash counter on Android 4.4.2 and later, so no use for Triangle Away. The big concern now would be tripping the Knox security flag. As long as you haven't attempted to modify the firmware you'll be ok.

Which recovery not loading properly? 3.1.0.0?
Edit: yes, TWRP 3.1.0.0 not working...
Looks like it's just the German model that's out, which is kind of odd. Hopefully the other regions will follow soon.
Given I'm rooted with custom recovery, I think I'll wait until a US version gets it. I would like to minimize the number of backup/restores I have to do.

I'm confused. Never used that but does it require custom recovery because that's not working
I managed to get root.... I used the recovery mentioned above. I flashed the kernel-less root for the Note5. Then I flashed no-verity-opt-encrypt..
You need to wipe data first or else none of this will work. This is working for me but as always, flash at your own risk...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/root-s6-nougat-supersu-t3570740
Is it possible to flash it only with Odin without root?
And do I loose everything ?
Got the OTA today for my US 813. Upon boot, play services were broke, nothing would fix, constant reboots led to a full wipe. All seems well now, but an unexpected pain.
Just got the OTA for my US 813, will report back if i have any issues. I plan to do a factory reset once the update is done to start fresh.
EDIT1: just got done installing the update and did a factory reset, the only issue so far is it doesn't see my 5Ghz wifi anymore. Doing another FReset to see if that fixes it. Will try the EUR one if FR doesn't fix my wifi issue.
EDIT2: no 5Ghz wifi
