WiFi Won't Turn On

Hi All,

I flashed the MF9 modem. All went ok but I cannot turn on WiFi. Not sure if it is related. WiFi Smart Mode is not turned on. Any thoughts?

Thank You...Brad
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mrhankey184:
Fyi I updated to MF9 modem and my speeds are horrible. It's almost like I'm getting throttled. When I say horrible I mean under a meg and yes I'm on 4g and updated prl and profile.

In going to do some test but if I flash back to MDL modem where my speeds peaked to 35 megs down will it be an issue on MF9 kernal rom and firmware?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jonnoh:
I have the same issue...tried updating Profile, PRL, and fixing permissions, but nothing. I am going to re-flash the modem and see what happens.

After re-flashing and even downloading the file again, I still could not get WiFi to stay on for MF9 (I can see the WiFi toggle go off and on just slightly). I ended up going back to MDL and WiFi was on as soon as the phone came back on after system reboot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] JoeFCaputo113:
What's the difference between this, noobnl's thread, and the "Stock MF9 Firmware" in the OP of crawjr's thread?! So confused lol...... :eek:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cris_epic:
Hi I'm currently on carbon is it possible to do this with aosp rom or do I have to be on stock?

Also would it work on mobile Odin?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] seanskiT!:
I can't answer your question about being on aosp rom. But as far as mobile odin, no. Everything I have read on here is saying that mobile odin won't flash a modem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cris_epic:
Aww didn't really wanna go to stock just to flash modern I'll try to see if I can make it work while on aosp and let you guys know
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Unknownforce:
You can flash Modem over any ROM, but as has been pointed out several times, this doesn't give any of the MF9 Software updates (the ones that Samsung and Sprint mention in their press releases)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cris_epic:
Well.either way.im on aosp so i cant use those updates only.the modem because.its.for signal.correct?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] phistyle:
any way you can make a flashable zip?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Unknownforce:
Whether or not it will give you better signal is a topic for debate (not in this thread). But it is the latest release of the modem, which would make one would think it is the "best" but that's not always the case, you can try them all and figure that out for yourself, because it's different for every phone and every location.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] guitarjockey:
Change your kernel. If your running stock kernel and only use the radio it breaks wifi. Mine did the same thing.

I flashed a custom kernel rebooted and my wifi was back.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Unknownforce:
No, every attempt at a Recovery based flash of Modems/firmware has failed.

Updated with all Firmware, including modem for every version. Also no more need to do any special option. It should stick on first flash and reboot is fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] holdenjr1642:
Where was this thread when I was looking for it yesterday? I flashed the MF9 modem last night. Now the sw and baseband versions are both MF9. Do I still need the AIO?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] JesseAaronSafir:
Hey...where can I see my modem and bootloader versions? And what are NON-HLOS,, sbl2, sbl3, and tz? What do these firmwares do? I did use the AIO previously and I believe I'm all updated to all the MF9 stuff but I'd like to check if there's a place to look and see what my current versions are. Also, I notice you changed the date in the OP...but it's not like there's any new code since the first MF9 update, right?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] holdenjr1642:
You can go to

Settings> More> About Device

To check your software and baseband versions.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Unknownforce:
NON-HLOS is part of the modem package. rpm, aboot, sbl2, sbl3 and tz are part of the bootloader chain. They tell the phone how to turn on, initialize all it's internals things like that. They also make sure each other aren't tampered with.

Don't worry if you don't have the things beside the modem updated, they don't provide any real benefit to the experience of android and they don't impact anything visible to most people. It's "Best" to update them all at once, just in case they initialize the modem differently. But that isn't the case with this update, and it's very rare that they change the way things get initialized. So there is no effect by being on the "matching" versions, beneficial or otherwise.

If you're on the MF9 Modem, that's all that really matters, in the future, as long as the bootloader isn't locked, I'll package the entire firmware package in this thread with the modem.

And no, there were no updates past MF9 yet, I just changed the date superficially because I updated the thread and packages that day.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] JesseAaronSafir:
Thanks so much for explaining this! I just wanted to be sure that whatever firmwares I have would give me the best signal strength, if that's relevant. My Sprint signal sucks most of the time so I'm always interested in doing whatever I can to make it work better (such as updating PRL and Data Profile and Firmwares).

So back to the question of the bootloader...is there a place you can view the versions you are currently running? With my HTC Evo 3D, I knew about booting to the bootloader and you could view some details about the firmwares (hboot version, radio version, OpenADSP version). What about on the GS4? Where can you view firmware and bootloader version info on this device?

---------- Post added at 10:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 AM ----------

I do know about that area...but does that tell you the modem and bootloader versions?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Unknownforce:
This does show show the Modem version, the baseband/software version is the modem version.

As to the bootloader version, you can use adb bugreport to find that out, it's a big output, so you'll have to limit the output.

use either adb bugreport | grep "Bootloader:" (Linux/Unix) OR adb bugreport | findstr "Bootloader:" (Windows)

I tryed flash the mf9 firmware via odin and mine about phone still shows mbc where did I go wrong
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] gershee:
this was bugging the hell out of me. finally this is what i had to do.

1. power the phone off! don't reboot into download mode.

2. unplug it from usb!!

3. then hold vol down + power to boot into download mode.

i tried like 10 times and it wouldn't stick until i did those steps!!

:cyclops:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] galaxys3man30:
Ty sir I will give it a shot

EDIT:it worked that time but did notice when you doing the phone will reboot 2 times just have to wait for odin to say pass and it takes about 2 min for the whole process to be done

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] texas83:
Confirmed the update worked using mobile Odin pro. Leave it in download mode for a few minutes then pull the battery and let it reset. Worked on the first try. Thanks op!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] JBone821:
So I flash this with mobile Odin and it worked perfect but I can't seem to find a way to remove this system message. It is really bugging me so any help would be great.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] galaxys3man30:
Cuz you just updated the modem not system software either have to rename the build props or long press on the system message and uncheck the box that says show notcaftion box it should go away then
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] evilbeef54:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cris_epic:
Can I flash this in odin even if I'm on pacman rom? I just want to update modem thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] galaxys3man30:
Yes modems arent rom or verison dependant so you should be to go
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cris_epic:
So I just flashed with odin and in download mode and when I rebooted it still says Mdl what am I doing wrong?

Edit

Nvm I just powered off and went into legit download mode and worked

Thanks!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Nevell:
S3 had some nice leaks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] galaxys3man30:
Very much agreed there for a while there was one like once a month but on my last post about google edition it was really a ported rom over to us but I guess you can still count that as a leak lol but us US device wont see 4.3 until next year maybe the international devices will see it next month but hopefully since sprint is the leading releaser for OTA's before anyone esle we might just might see 4.3 by the end of the year one can only cross there fingers on that

By any chance are we going to be seeing that MJA modem hit this thread anytime soon. Since sprint dropped that ota on us last night :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] galaxys3man30:
As soon as I can rip the tar file apart to see if its a flashable or not hope its not a patch file or then the whole boot chain would have to be changed to make the modem a flashable then
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] garwynn:
Patch files in the zip.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] galaxys3man30:
Oh dang that suxs thanks for letting me know mr. [MENTION=4194834]garwynn[/MENTION] and thanks for the knowledge about the patch files and having to change the boot chain to make it work as a flashable
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Unknownforce:
I have an Odin AIO Firmware Package built for MJA, and it totally works... Problem is... the new bootloader adds an unnecessary 2 minutes to the boot time unless you're using the stock MJA kernel.

At the Galaxy S4 splash screen (very first screen when powering up) It's showing "KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING" in red and "Set warranty bit: kernel" in Yellow (small letters, upper left hand corner) like "RECOVERY BOOTING" when you boot to recovery.

It sits at this screen for at least a minute and a half to two full minutes.

They obviously added some more protection to the bootloader. I'm not sure it's a good idea to move to all the new firmware at this point.

The worst part... it's not revertable via flashing the old Odin packages. Bootloader is secure and won't allow the downgrade. (Odin fails with Auth error)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] leaderbuilder:
Locked bootloader is jacked up. !! :( Hopefully someone can crack it or get around it.

Thanks for the work Unknownforce! It's really appreciated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] galaxys3man30:
Its sprint fault too they the ones that put a qfuse on the bootloader too
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] oscarthegrouch:
With the s2, we had an ota kill flash available so we wouldn't be nagged to death to take the update. I remember seeing a fotakill like post here a few months back. Did anything come of it? Is there a zip flash that will block all further updates from automatically downloading? F-it, I'll stay on mf9 from now on. I don't want my phone blocked from backwards flashing. I don't want knox embedded into the bootloader. To hell with future updates! I refuse to update any further if nobody can take the teeth out of this new update that takes too much control over the phone and gimps it from further hacking or mods!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] garwynn:
Easier now. Installing busybox stops the update check. Should give a reason of modified software or something like that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Unknownforce:
OK, can someone who's willing to risk it... Test this Odin Modem Only flash? This is the Modem and Non-hlos firmware bits ONLY (it DOES NOT include the bootloader bit or any of it's chain bits)

I would like to see if it's possible to update the modem only, and stay away from updating the bootloader.

Here's the link for anyone that's willing to test this. If you run into any problems please post here immediately and send me a PM with whatever you're seeing.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] MENACE_69:
Dude, i would say I'm surprised this is being attempted but I'm not. I figured someone that's knowledgeable with stuff like this would try and attempt to get this modem successfully on our device without haveing to update to 4.3. **** yeahh!!! I'm super stoked to see what becomes of this. Hopefully we can get the new MJA modem successfully flashd onto our s4 so we to can benifit from it without doing a full 4.3 update.

Right on bro, best of luck to you with this and thanks for your efforts and thanks testers who are willing to flash.

Looks like the bootloader might be required then...

Can you post a screen shot of the error? or copy/paste the log from it? I'd like to see exactly what the error is.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Unknownforce:
Oh I already have a package that will update to MJA modem/firmware without having to OTA, but the bootloader is the problem at this point. While I can't see any major negative's about having the bootloader installed at this point... it IS the newest KNOX Bootloader, which has a few ugly red/yellow messages when you're booting a non-stock kernel or recovery... I am just trying to see if it's possible to move to MJA without updating the bootloader... which it doesn't seem like that will work at this point.

And it also breaks Wi-Fi if you're still using an MF9 stock kernel. The latest 4.2.2 KT kernel fixes it, but can't run the Stock MJA kernel on an MF9 ROM, it simply won't boot.

So there are lots of caveats of this, but for the most part, it's all or nothing with MJA.

It shouldn't matter, they both should work, the boot loader will automatically put it where it needs to go based on the file itself, not the type of command sent to it.

You probably rebooted directly to download mode via a reboot method. This doesn't work. You must either pull the battery or completely Power Down the phone first. Then use the Volume Down Key and the Power Button to boot into Download mode.
