Well, if your phone is not rooted and you still have the stock ROM, the simplest thing would be to go to seller/service centre. I had exactly same problem with one of my I9300's after update, and it ended with motherboard replacement
What you should do is a factory reset. Then make sure to NOT restore you google account when you are setting up your device. You have to make sure that it doesn't restore you wifi settings.

S4 wifi stopped working - trying to slide but wont stay at ON

Hello,
So this I337m S4 wifi stopped working right after when I try to change "SYSTEM language" by installing TELCEL spanish rom from sammobile for the exact same model number i337m and android OS. This telcel trick worked pretty good many times earlier to change all system language in i337m phones to spanish. Anyways, after this when wifi stopped working I tried to put the original ROM from same provider and same version but the wifi wont work. The wifi slides to ON but then goes back to OFF position.
I tried fixing problem from following http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att/help/wifi-properly-nvm-damage-t2841529 thread but the solution didnt work because there IS no file in efs folder, efs folder is empty while at the same time IMEI is there in phone and bluetooth is working fine too, its wifi which stopped working.
-> I have also tried installing custom ROMS but still wifi wont work
-> I have also tried installing android OS from 4.3 to 5.1.1 but still it won't work.
-> I have also tried different modems and roots
Its not a hardware problem as it was working pretty fine before I changed ROM.
Please tell me how to fix it.
I really appreciate your efforts.
THank you
no one?>
Did you flash the ROM to an i337 or i337m? The i337 is the AT&T version of the s4.

I flashed i337 ROM to an i337m initially to get spanish language
I suggest flashing a stock 337m rom to see if that fixes wifi.

When you boot into download mode, what is the model #?

Model number is I337M in download mode also sticket at the back says same i337m, sorry I forgot to write M in first post after i337
Maybe flashing the i337 rom to an i337m did something to the software side of things?
it was happened to me too...i fixed it via flashing another kernel...
or try install a complete stock rom...that has to fix it..
In order to /EFS/ files to show the device must be rooted.

Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500 South Africa Root

Hi All
I have a Samsung S4 I9500 in South Africa and recently it's been acting up on the Wifi - keep turning itself off and on.
I've tried pretty much every fix I could find from resetting the phone to Factory Default down to Battery Reset, etc.
My last hope is to root the phone and load the latest Android Version available for my phone before I finally shelve this phone for good.
I'm totally new to Rooting and google has been my friend - info is plentiful but my problem is I can't find a root file for my specific Build.
Below Some details for my Phone
Model - GT-I9500
Android Version - 5.0.1
Baseband Version - I9500XXUH0G2
Build Number - LRX22C.I9500XXUH0H6
Please can someone help me find the correct files required to root my phone?
Thanks a million

First flash TWRP, then flash Magisk and you will have Root. If you want to flash another ROM, root is not needed.
You can find eveyrhting about how to flash ROMs etc in my guides/collection. I recommend you to do clean install from scratch.

Installing g900f official rom on g9006v

Hey everyone
summary :
how can i install a rom file for sm-g900f on sm-g9006v ? with altering the rom file or my phone.
notes:
-they have exactly the same hardware but one is china version
-phone originally had android 5.0 and every where on its back and case says its g900f
the phones ''about device'' said g900f too
full version :
i bought a s5 (g900f) a couple of years back, but it didnt receive the 6.0.1 update like others, so now i decided to update it manually using odin.
but in download mode its version was g9006v
so i found the android 6.0.1 rom for it and installed it using odin
but unfortunately it doesnt have any of the google services and has a couple of system apps that cant be deleted of disabled and they are draining the battery.
so now i want to go back to international 5.0 or 6.0.1
considering that both versions have the same hardware and that somehow it had g900f rom on it before
i was wondering how could i adjust my phone or the rom file (tar) to install it.
thank you for ur help
here is my email:
