Anyone having issues with WiFi connections not saving after the update?

I have to enter the WPA2 key each time I want to connect to an access point now after I go out of range or turn WiFi on and off.

I'm on stock rooted 4.3.

I also tried renaming the /data/misc/wifi directory as some folks suggested that for tethering issues, but it didn't make a difference.

Thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Richard_Danger:
I am having the same problem too. Did you ever find a solution?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] paganhobbit:
No, not with the stock sense ROM. I haven't tried again in a while. I've been using the Google Play Edition Kit Kat ROM from the developer forum I think and I haven't had the issue with that one. I've been using it exclusively for about a month now without any problem at all.

I also didn't have the issue with CyanogenMod 11. The WiFi passwords were remembered properly.

I was either going to try the stock OS's again if a RUU comes out for 4.3 or wait and try again when the Kit Kat version comes out. I really like the Google Play Edition, but I miss the camera software from Sense. Zoe's really handy with kids.

Hi all I have tis tablet and I can not use sim slot. I can not attach sim into slot.how to use .I have one slot on tablet. :crying:
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schultp:
The SIM slot only is active if you have the rare Touchpad version that included 3G support. I believe these were sold briefly by AT&T. Otherwise, the SIM slot is a dummy slot that has not hardware/IC connection.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Jack of Clubs:
i wonder if you confusing the little pop out tray on the ordinary touchpad. is your touchpad the white, 64gb, att 4g version? if its black with 16gb or 32gb, thats not a sim card slot and you cant add a sim to the touchpad.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robert's PDA:
Jack what is the device in this slot? I popped it out and it won't come all the way out. It appears to be attached to something inside, it also has some numbers on the back of it (S/N). Just an FYI I have the 16GB black one.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pbman1953:
It's funny , on some threads some say never to use the software update due to a possible brick. the I've seen on other threads to root then update because there seems to be a build update after the MJ7 build. Mine has the MJ7

Today, I've read that Kit Kat may be out by the end of the month

Can anyone shed light to my question?

Before I read, not to try the update, I did. All it did was fail, plus after I checked that I still had root and a 0 x 0 in the warranty status, so I felt good about that :))

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
There's a thread on how to keep root and update in the development section
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pbman1953:
thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pbman1953:
I guess the question is there an update build after MJ7? or is the newest MK2?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
MK2 is the newest build just came out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pbman1953:
Is it worth the hastle to update since kit kat is so close?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pbman1953:
If my OTA fails how can I get the update file?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
KitKat won't be here for a couple months.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jhud25:
someone correct me if im wrong, but the any ota will error out if you have any system altering files ie xposed, viper4android, things like that. Or if you have deleted any factory apps you will need to get those back before attempting an ota. In my experience, i've had to odin flash a factory no wipe image before any ota took (me7 ,mi1, mj7,and mk2) therefor you would need to update in sequence to get the latest. ie from mj7 to mk2 before you could access any later version. so you'll eventually have to update to mk2 before kit kat anyways.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
Not "any" system files, just any system files that the OTA is updating. Of course, it's not easy to tell what those files are.

The MI1 to MJ7 OTA, which was the update to 4.3, updated a LOT of files, so anything that you changed is likely to cause the update to fail.

MK2 doesn't touch nearly as much, so it's less likely to fail due to update. I think I've seen the MK2 update work even though xposed was installed and enabled, which wouldn't work when going to MJ7.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jhud25:
Having said all that wouldn't you still need to be on mk2 to ota the next update whatever that may be?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
Yes, that's been the way the updates have come. No way to skip updates using OTAs.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kennyla:
Has anyone solved the drain issue with 4.3 stock no root? I have disabled various apps and I am using the power saving mode, turned off hepatic feedback also turned down my screen adjustments. Any quick answers or point me to the correct post?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
I'd say you are going to have to do some experimenting. Find out what works best for you, and the way you use your Device. I noticed a higher than usual drain on 4.3 also. But keep in mind you cannot compare it to the 4.1.1 , or 4.1.2 . This is essentially a different ball game with the Roms, Kernels, and Mods. It's going to take a bit before things are sorted out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] janjanrex:
My husband's non-rooted stock was suffering the same heavy drain and I had him turn off:

Chat On

Flipboard

Google Play Books/Games/Magazines/Movies & TV

Hp Print Service

Samsung Link

Yahoo Finance and News

since he was not using those and cleared up his drain problems.

ymmv.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] die-hard:
hi all, i need settings for umts, gprs and mms for my qtek9000 and H3G
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mikecn:
I just flashed I537UCUBMI2, this is the first 4.3 for i537, but I found I can't root it! I can't remove the AT&T software and add Chinese language.

I was just want to give up, lucky, I use one Chinese software called “ROOT大师”, you can just search "VRoot" with Google. Now my phone is rooted, and I have removed all the annoying software.

Good luck.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] tmease1:
Can you provide a link for this root method and a tutorial on how you used it? This way there is no confusion for anyone. I for one would appreciate it because I've been on mf1 for months now and have wanted to flash the mi2 leak but I've been waiting patiently for root.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] tmease1:
This is getting me very anxious. Has anyone else looked into this? I'm at work and not going to be near a computer for a few hours so if anyone has info please share.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mikecn:
Sorry to reply late, because I am in China.

I will show you the steps in brief.

1. Just flash leaked I537UCUBMI2

2. Go to setting, enable the USB debug. Just like other Android 4.X phone, I noticed we should tick always enable to connect to this computer.

3. Install the "root master", this is a Chinese software, maybe something can't display correctly in non-Unicode computers.

Software download:

REMOVED

After install this software, open this software, connect your phone to your computer, maybe need to install some drivers.

4. Just simply click "一键ROOT"， the green button, the phone will restart 2 times, and after that, your phone is rooted.

After your Phone is rooted. The software will show:"三星I537已经拥有ROOT权限“

Sorry, because I cannot post pictures. Just follow the steps, you can make it.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] tmease1:
Thanks for replying. I've got everything downloaded and I will try tomorrow after I get off of work. Thanks again.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] KennyG123:
Be wary of these Chinese root methods. They are known to collect your IMEI number which is not needed for a rooting process. Therefore XDA has not allowed any links to their software at this time.l
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] tmease1:
Thanks for the heads up. I figured something wasnt right about this. When i searched for this root method every site that i had found was in Chinese which made me start to think about it. Another thing that makes me wonder is that we have had this leak for awhile now and no one else has had success with root and then out of nowhere this pops up. Plus the op doesn't have very many posts here on xda. In going to play it safe and wait on something else.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] chronicaust:
Rooted anyway. 4.3 is much faster than 4.2.2. Samsung keyboard is better but still doesn't match up to real Swype imo. Battery life is remarkably better. 22 hr 40 mins with 23%. 2 hr 43 mins screen on time. Always died on me before. Seems more stable overall but watchon is broken for me.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mikecn:
Actually piracy is not the most important thing for me. May be this software will collect IMEI or other information, but I think they will not do anything bad, the built-in software is more annoying for me.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] sc0tty8:
Did you use the chinese software?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] KennyG123:
Kingo root method would probably be better for you than Vroot. Kingo has responded to XDA's request to remove the IMEI collection...it just not has been confirmed but they have always kept communication open with XDA.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] chronicaust:
Yes I used the Chinese software.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] tmease1:
What superuser app installed with the Chinese software? Superuser, SuperSU or a Chinese version?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] chronicaust:
I didn't even look I just installed SuperSU over it. Works perfectly.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] tmease1:
I flashed the 4.3 leak and rooted using vroot. I replaced the superuser app with supersu. I'll report back in a few days if I run into any problems.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mikecn:
I asked some expert, the Chinese root method use the "Master Key", by using this bug, almost all Android 4.3 devices can be rooted easily.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] sc0tty8:
What install method for supersu did you use?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] tmease1:
Downloaded it from the play store.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] thencamedroid:
Thanks for suggesting Vroot, tried it on friend's S4 active and worked like charm. Although it installed unnecessary app to manage data when connected to PC which i removed using titanium.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] pwr1999:
DID IT!

I tried it and it works good. After I rooted it I downloaded SuperSU and ROM Toolbox pro and froz VROOT so it wouldnt come back and try something. No problems running AT&T SGH-I537 4.3.3 rooted...
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] DJ_smooth:
Can any of you confirm or deny the 4.3 rom has the ANT+ radio capabilities? The regular Galaxy s4 got it but samsung has not said yes or no if the Active will get it. I think you would just have to install the Ant radio service from Play and see if it opens. Not sure.

David
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] :
Has anyone tried this method on ML2? If so and it doesn't work can people post what they have tried that way we can move on from those methods to try something else?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] AndroidState:
No

Doesn't work
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Miami_Son:
Posters really need to distinguish between the leaked 4.3 and the official one when posting about root fixes. AFAIK, there is still no way to root the official OTA 4.3 update. Many people in here appear to be confused as to which one is being discussed in a lot of these threads.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] :
The only way to get ML2 rooted is to try different methods. There should be a thread made for people to post what they have tried so we can weed out the methods that have been tried and unsuccessful. Instead of making a new thread about it we could post the results here in this thread instead of making a new one. I tried to get that started with my previous post but no body caught on to what I was saying. So I'll try again. If you have tried to root ML2 in any way at all, please post what method you have tried here in this thread that way others can try a different method. Thanks

Edit: Once I get off of my twelve hour days at work I am game to try out different root methods. It will be a few more days before I can try anything. Once I do, I'll post what I tried in this thread.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] WackyJoe:
Hmm...

Hmm, if MI2 has confirmed root...why not downgrade ML2 to MI2? :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] popfan:
MI2 had several issues - loses account information and screenshots are jacked
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Devo7v:
It's not possible to downgrade from ML2 if you have the ML2 bootloaders.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Miami_Son:
None of the known root methods will work on the OTA 4.3, that we already know. My point is that some people are referring to the leaked 4.3 for which there is a root method and some are dealing with the official OTA 4.3 for which there is currently no root method. Posters need to be specific about which version they are replying about to prevent confusion.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] WackyJoe:
Yep...

Yep, threw the whole kitchen sink at the official ML2 build.

Nada right now...then again there might be something we are missing...hmm
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] :
One of the ways I am going to try is to flash MI2 and then flash all the files for ML2 except for the boot loader and try out the current root methods. If that fails I was going to head over to the Note 3 threads and see if they have anything worth trying.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] WackyJoe:
Nice...

Hmm...that's a good idea.

I only have the separate files for the ML2, so I couldn't try this idea for the MI2.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] my-blue-snog-box:
Saferoot ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2565758 ) worked for MI2 for me. Has anyone tried it on ML2?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] :
I won't get the chance to try anything until this weekend at the earliest. Been working over a lot. I will try this method probably first. If I can get the phone to boot and work properly by flashing mi2 and then just the the files from ml2, I don't see a reason why root should be a issue anymore. To me the main problem now is with the ml2 bootloader.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] MechaBouncer:
Saferoot does not work on the OTA ML2 firmware. I heard that it worked with the leaked firmware, but do not know if that was ML2 or MI2.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Ketch_42:
tried to root with 'saferoot' on ML2

I tried to root using the saferoot off android central; the program tries to find the phone but doesn't recognize it.

Is there a way to change build numbers? To MK2 from ML2 without root access?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Miami_Son:
There is no way to go back or root the OTA 4.3 update. Period. You are stuck with it. Why don't people read up on this before doing it and save themselves some grief?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] NinjaNoggin:
Wow, downer much? Most people on here realize that as of yet there is no way to root the new update, and yet, somebody has to be the one to break it eventually right? You talk like there is no way to root and there never will be, how about trying to be positive about it instead.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] my-blue-snog-box:
From what I understand, Saferoot uses an exploit in the kernel and ML2 patched that exploit. And we cannot downgrade the kernel because of the bootloader. Changing the build number, etc. won't work because the "Unrecognized Device" notice doesn't mean that the script cannot read the build.prop. It means that the script can't use that exploit.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Miami_Son:
As of right now, yes, there is no way to root the OTA version of 4.3. Too many people are obsessed with having the latest version of Android that they don't bother reading up before they jump into an update. Then they come in here and litter the boards with tales of lost root, wifi glitches, GPS malfunctions and no way to revert when had they spent just a little time researching before updating they would have known about the problems and how to prevent the update, if they so choose, and wait for these issues to be resolved. Or not. Either way, all it takes is a little due diligence and patience to prevent these problems. If, as you claim, "most people realize..." then why are there so many threads and posts of people who did NOT know and are now looking for someone to bail them out? I truly hope someone will come up with a root method so I can update, as well, but I am perfectly willing to wait for the developers to do their thing in their time. There's nothing about 4.3 to make it so desirable as to give up root and risk any issues that can't be fixed without it.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] NinjaNoggin:
Nothing to me from this post indicates that he didn't realize that he wouldn't have root when he flashed the newest update. It sounds much more like he wanted to be part of the solution instead of a bystander that just "waits for the developers to take care of it". What is a developer anyways? Somebody who decided they wanted to be part of the solution, not a follower is all. There is also nothing about his post that indicates he is asking for someone to bail him out. He simply tried a method of rooting and is asking if there is a way to change build numbers so he can possibly try to be part of the solution. I updated to the newest OTA as well, knowing full well that I would lose root for a period of time, am I distraught about it and asking for someone to bail me out? Nope. But I think I might get a little pissed if someone treats me like a child just because I'm trying to contribute to the solution instead of sitting on my hands waiting for the developers to take care of it for me.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mythi:
guys with 4.3 (with new bootloader) can you flash a tar.md5 via odin ( a stock firmware maybe ) ? i have an idea in my brain to root you :p
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] :
What is the idea?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mythi:
maybe if we dump a firmware root it and pack the files as android *.imgs (system.img for ex) then pack to a tar.md5 and flash with odin , and kabom reboot and there will be root activated :cyclops::D:D:D:D:D
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Devo7v:
It sounds like you're a lot more knowledgeable than most people in this forum. Unfortunately the i537 was never purchased by a developer so there hasn't been any development on this phone. We do have SafeStrap (a huge thank you to [MENTION=4243514]Hashcode[/MENTION]), but most what we do have is trying to figure out how to get regular S4 mods to work on our phone.

If you're willing would you take a shot at rooting the firmware? I'm sure there are plenty of guinea pigs here that would be willing to try it, but not enough people with the knowledge to be able to create what you are suggesting.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] dibeachdude:
Is it that easy to spoof an MD5 checksum with a different file? I am certain that it could be done, but it seems like it would be very difficult or the file might be so different that it might not me useful. I am curious more than doubting.

Hello i537 comunity, first time writing here. Thanks for the info with the chinese root method, but it failed for me. I have ML3, and some security policy message shows on the phone and the method fails, it only installs the bloatware. Anyone got any luck? its amazing how many neAT&Tidy progams are installed!

the security message says that someone is trying to access a restricted area of the phone,
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Devo7v:
I assume you mean you're on ML2, but so far no root method has been found for ML2. For the time being you're out of luck.

Novice here....checking in

I know enough to break a phone...nowhere near what it takes to root one. So I depend on you braniacs.

My phone shipped with ML2...I immediately started looking for root access because of all the annoying bloatware they sent with the S4 Active....only to find that (of course) there is no root yet and this thread is one of the places to keep abreast of how its coming.

i don't have any solutions for the root. all I have is positive energy and ataboys!!!

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Kyuta Syuko:
From what I've gathered the apks actually aren't specific to that phone. Ministro II isn't the rooting method it's a collection of Qt libraries that the rooting method uses and can be downloaded from the Play Store. The Poot.apk is what roots the phone. Whether or not it'll work on ML2 though...

Then there's also this potential method I found while Googleing that I don't remember if anyone mentioned trying or not. Since I'm on MF3 and don't want to upgrade my phone and lose root I can't test either one.
