Okay so I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 from sprint, I love the phone it’s great. I was on the mdl update stock rooted and everything was working fine with wifi. Then I did a factory reset updated to mf9 (the latest update) and then rooted it still stock. Now my phone will connect to wifi if I manually connect to it and works fine, however, if I disable and reenable wifi or restart the phone or leave my house and come back, it will not reconnect to my network automatically, I have to select it myself and put the security key in everytime. When I disable and reenable my wifi it will show “secured” under my network, making it seem as if it never tried to save the network in the first place, So it won't automatically connect like it use to on the mdl update, because it seems as if it forgets it when it disconnects.
I tried even connecting and then forgetting the network and then connecting again to see if that would fix it but it didn’t.
The weird thing is that at my work it remembered the network and connects automatically and when I’m in range. And when I’m away from work I can see it saying “not in range”. Why isn’t my home network doing the same thing, and how do I fix this? (btw I really don’t want to do another factory reset if I don’t have to.)

Okay well I fixed it by unrooting and using odin to go back two updates prior to mf9, then did 2 ota's back to mf9 and rooted again. all is working fine, also fixed the phone's getting too hot problem and battery last longer than ever.
it's your kernel that was causing this...for future reference, if you're on mf9 with the stock mf9 kernel and do not want to have to wipe your phone to fix this, you can use ShabbyPenguin's kernel...i had this issue before on my s4 and this worked for me...why the rooted stock rom doesnt like the stock kernel for wifi blows my mind...lol
How was it going on? Do you still have the problem with the wifi?
Perhaps you can try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...56&postcount=2 (Greatly appreciated and high credit to dajumper's work.)
This works on my I337 NI1 Unlocked Rooted. I uses ES Explorer with Root Explorer enabled.
I went to the "system " folder in the device, scrolled down until I found "build prop" then edited using ES Explorer Note Editor.

Hello.
I have a Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005 LTE and rooted it. I saw a thread how to get the Galaxy S5 Settings list view. I downloaded the SecSettings.apk for the Galaxy Note 3. I installed it into system/priv-app and gave it the correct properties. Then I deleted the old SecSystem.apk and odex and rebooted my phone. Just so that you know, I have a handwriting protection for security which was preinstalled from Samsung. After turning it on again everything looked normal. As I am about to sign in with my handwriting My Phone does not log in. If i try to put in the pin, no keyboard pops up to put it in. Only Google speach recognition opens and it loads and loads and loads. I can not use my phone to change anything, because I can not log in. My phone is not turned in to debugging mode and first it says settings stopped and then it says android.phone stopped and then it says systemui.xxxx stopped. For a second i can then see my homescreen. Then it locks again. I have important pictures I dont want to loose. How can I save them before flashing my phone with odin and wiping everything? What can I do(anything)? Can I put a new rom on there without loosing any data or how do the tools work on kies. My phone is locked and i wont be able to unlock it. Reasons are given. I am about to cry. I dont have enough money to buy another one and I dont want to loose my pictures. PLEASE HELP. URGENT
PS: Ask me any question if it helps you to solve my problem
Flash offical firmware. It will not wipe internal memory unless it stuck at samsung boot logo where you need to do factory reset from recovery. Or flash a custom rom

Galaxy S4 - i337m - Android 4.3
Okay, so here's my problem.
Today in the morning after I woke up, I checked my phone and it said it had downloaded a software update. It was just a complimentary update for 4.3, it said bug fixing, etc. in details. I clicked accept and the installation started.
After this, all crap started to happen.
The Wi-Fi NEVER worked again, everytime I clicked the Wi-Fi widget in the notification bar, it turned green and immediately switched back to gray. It also didn't work when trying to turn Wi-FI on from the settings menu.
I tried everything, the battery pulling, the thing of disabling the Wi-Fi energy save, and nothing worked. It all pointed to a factory reset.
So I did all my backups (My S4 was rooted), and finally made the factory reset.
After this finished, I did all the starting configuration of the S4 (like when it was brand-new). Then, I tried to turn on Wi-Fi.
Surprise, surprise. DIDN'T WORK.
I'm so desperate right now, I don't know what to do.
I'm currently downloading 4.4.2 to flash it via Odin, and see if this works.
Any help, please?
Flashing the 4.4.2 ROM you're downloading now should definitely fix the problem. I know that in some instances, us I9505 owners have to flash a stock ROM twice through Odin before the modem will function. It sounds like your software update broke the modem in this fashion, which is why the ROM install you're planning should fix it. Be aware however that installing KitKat will give you Knox if you don't already have it.

Hi, I have a very bad problem and need some tips on how to fix the problem. If you successfully fix the problem for me I will pay you a reward of $20 via PayPal or Bitcoin.
I have a Rooted Samsung Galaxy S5 Verizon (SM-G900V) Running Android 4.4.4
Everything has been going fine and I have used my Galaxy S5 with no problems for around 6 months now, however I ran into an issue a week ago. My issue started after I tried changing my Mac Address (Spoofing it). I used PryFi:
● PryFi
*play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.pryfi&hl=en&referrer=utm_source%3Dgoogle%26utm_medium%3Dorganic%26utm_term%3Dpryfi&pcampaignid=APPU_1_ujKoVb-zO4Su-AGNiIC4AQ
I granted root access to the application via SuperSU. I also enabled the 'Mac Spoofing While Connected' option.
When I turned off the application my WiFi was fine for a while, I could turn the WiFi on and off, my problem didn't happen until I did a reboot when I rebooted I was unable to turn on WiFi ever again.
The application PryFi broke my entire WiFi, now I am able to only use the Internet with my data connection WiFi does not work at all.
I have tried a few things, however none have been successful yet.
I have did a factory reset and it still has not fixed my WiFi problem.
The WiFi will not turn on at all. It is stuck on Gray.
Bluetooth works fine, however WiFi does not.
If you're able to help me with this issue successfully I will reward you with $20 via PayPal, or Bitcoin.
Thank you,

Have you done a reflash? A factory reset just wipes /data, won't really fix anything...

Get TWRP.
Clear Cache, dalvik
clear data, system
Flash stock firmware via odin. Will fix the issue.

The wifi system is corrupted..
if u need to fix this you must get the whole rom(os)...download latest stock rom or any cusom rom and flash it via odin..or recovery..this will fix the wifi problem...always take a nandroid backup before doing any changes to system...even i had this issue on my redmi note 4g but its fixed by nandroid backup..coz i regularly take backup....i hopr this helps
HIT THANKS BUTTON IF ITs HELPED
I am really upset about myself for not taking a backup as stated. I will from now on take backups all the time before doing anything that could corrupt my phone from now on.
I still haven't tested this to see if it will fix my phone, I will test this within the next day or so.
I do have a question, right now I'm on vacation in the Outer Banks with no computer access at the moment. Is there a way to do what I require to fix the WiFi problem without a computer?

They dont have a computer to flash a recovery, furthermore, even if they did, or if they used flashfire or mobile odin(assuming they have root), you cant get a recovery on a G900V, attempting your instructions would certaintly brick the phone.

Ferragamo,
Verizon's S5 has a locked bootloader, meaning any attempt to load/flash/Odin anything besides the factory firmware will fail (and sometimes end up in tears).
It seems that a major cleanup and then reflashing the latest firmware should resolve the issue.
You can follow my directions bellow to get it done at home (takes about 30 minutes on a fast internet connection), but yes, you'd need your computer.
Or you can stop by BestBuy and have them flash a new firmware on your phone for you.
Step-by-step Directions:
1- Start by downloading the correct USB drivers for your phone, and install them (open the exe file as administrator on your PC):
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SM-G900VZKAVZW
2- Download and install Samsung Kies 3 software on your PC:
http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/
3- Back up your files from the phone using Kies or copy your files, photos, etc. to your PC
4- Time to clean the phone! Use the 3-button combo (hold volume up + home buttons and press the power button) to enter recovery.
7- use volume keys to scroll down to factory reset and press power to select it. Select Yes to wipe the phone. And repeat this step one or two more times for good measure.
8- hit reboot phone, once the phone's screen goes blank (phone vibrates), pull the battery. Don't let it boot.!
9- Load up Samsung kies on your PC, select Tools tab, and reinitialize firmware, answer the on screen questions to input your serial number from the sticker inside the phone.
10- Once ready to flash the new firmware, put the battery in and boot the phone to download mode (3- button combo hold volume down+home and press power)
11- connect the USB cable to PC and make sure Kies recognizes your phone, if not uninstall and reinstall the USB driver. Reboot PC etc...
FAQ's
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00043306/997388244/
Downloading the firmware will take a while depending on the connection speed. The file size is around 1.5-2GB.
Be patient and baby sit it until flashing is done.
Important: Do not break the cable connection, and prevent the computer from going to sleep or turning off during this process!
Happy flashing
Thanks everyone for trying to help me out. I'm still in the Outer Banks as of now (10:41pm EST). I won't be home until around Sunday, so if I'm not able to do this process without a computer it will have to wait until at least Sunday.
I have got a general picture on what I will have to do to resolve this problem. Hopefully when I get home I will be able to fix this situation.
Thank you Commodore for pointing out those nice tips and the guide. I noticed you mentioned I could take my phone to BestBuy, unfortunately in the Outer Banks they do not have a BestBuy as far as I can see. The only store I can find is a Walmart, so that probably will be of no use for me.
I would have gone to a public library to try and fix this issue, however this location has no library kind of dissatisfied a little, but if it did have one I would have took time out of my vacation to fix my phone.
If there is somehow a work around via the phone some how I would be willing to test it and hear it out, if the computer is my only option than so be it.
When I get home and fix this situation I will reward those who have helped and reached myself to restore access to the WiFi on my phone.
Thanks,
Ferragamo

how to fix
Hello,
I've had my Galaxy for a few years now, and a few months ago, I decided to root my phone. I was pretty new to rooting at the time, and hoped to God that I didn't brick my phone. Thankfully, I didn't.
But then I decided to change my phone's rom. I tried out the latest version of CyanogenMod. I liked it for a while, but it got boring. I went to change it back, but my backup had been deleted. I had to redownload the stock rom, which took hours, and when I got it, Factory Mode was enabled. I kept trying to figure it out, but I discovered that all of the files in my /efs folder weren't there. I'm still stuck in this situation, and some help would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
. Ok are you meaning you have a imei problem or its zeroed out please explain
I'm sorry, but I'm not completely sure what you mean. I'm just saying that my efs folder is corrupt/empty, I have even checked with my computer, and this "Factory Mode" pops up when I power on my phone.
"Factory mode is ON!!!
WiFi is turrning of now.
Please switch to user mode
Before verification"
That's the text that shows up when I power on my phone.
My phone always forgets my WiFi connections password, and WiFi keeps turning off.
I would just like help to get rid of this issue.
