Go into your Wi-Fi settings. Find your home modem connection. Delete it from the list, and reboot. When it's done rebooting try to connect.

EDIT:

So I was doing a bit of reading. It seems like you are not the only one to have this issue after trying a 4.3 Rom. I'm not saying that's what caused it. I'm not sure what did in your case, or anyones case that matter. But I saw that CNexus has a WiFi Fix posted in his OP for the Stock Rooted TW 4.3 Rom. So you might want to contact him, and ask if it help with your WiFi issue. Or if you are feeling brave just flash it. I personally would contact him first.

Nice! I think your right bro. Because I didn't have an issue until I rooted to 4.3 and that's another reason why I went back to 4.1.2. I am currently on 4.1.2. MOAR. Should I wait until 7.1 comes out and see if I have issues with it and if I do flash the wi fi fix. I don't think that I could use the Wi Fi fix on 4.1.2.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
I wouldn't flash the WiFi Fix unless you are on 4.3 . If you want you could wait for MOAR v7.1 to drop. Or you could update your Modem to MK3, while on 4.1.2 . Then do a FULL Wipe, and Flash MOAR v7.0.0 . See if everything is all good. But it's entirely up to you.

Thanks for all your help bro. Your a real contributor in this community. I tried to connect to Wi-Fi on my girlfriend phone and it didn't work. Called Comcast up last night and they fixed it. Hopefully it stays on this time. Thanks again for everything! [MENTION=1754759]prboy1969[/MENTION]

So I did something really really dumb and did the OTA update to 4.3 then tried to "downgrade" to 4.1.x using oden and now I cant use my device. Does anyone have the OTA update for 4.3 available for download that I can try to fix my phone with?!?

Downgrading isn't possible. Neither is loading custom recovery. You now have a locked bootloader.

As an option, you can still go to stock 4.1.1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] computerslayer:
You can not downgrade, and attempts to do so will potentially trip your KNOX counter. At the very least you'll end up soft-bricked and have to do a repair install....of 4.3.

No you can't. As has been mentioned in just about every 4.3 thread multiple times.

Meat & Potatoes:

I tried ODINing my GN2 back to stock 4.1.2 tonight - I rooted it a couple months ago. Did

not

install a custom ROM, just rooted (the process also replaced the Recovery).

Tried ODINing back to stock using the files and information found in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2024207

When I run ODIN, it simply fails. Tells me "0 succeeded / 1 failed". Phone still works, I just can't get anywhere in the rolling back to stock bit.

Longer Version:

I've had the phone since the end of January 2013. I rooted it for a couple of reasons, mostly to get rid of bloatware, but also for an app or two that needed root access. I've had zero problems with usability or stability of the device before or since the rooting.

I couldn't tell you which root process I used, but I know it came from an XDA thread, and it automatically replaced the recovery with something touch-based. I'm not sure of the name of the recovery. It did not replace the ROM - I've had less than desirable results from using non-stock ROMs in the past on a handful of other devices, so I wasn't about to risk it.

Since VZW is rolling out the 4.3 update and it looks like a good deal, I want to get my phone back to non-rooted, non-custom-recovery'd state so I can install the update. I'm also doing it because I'm hoping they get the phone up to 4.4 down the line so I can use HCE and GWallet.

Currently, I'm downloading (very slowly, thanks sammobile, for not hosting files on your own servers) the stock VZW 4.3 package from Sammobile.com in hopes I can do something with that and just go straight up from where I am, but I'm not holding my breath since the OTA fails due to the custom recovery.

Any thoughts on what I might try differently to get ODIN to work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hmoobguy:
Guys I had the same issue. What I did to resolve my issue is:

1. Get the Verizon upgrade assistance installed on your PC . Here's one from scoobysnack (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47368638&postcount=7&nocache=1&z=2813086102250963)

2. Boot to download mode

3. plug in USB and wait for the update message on your PC

4. Update should take about 30-40 min depending on your connection speeds.

5. once updated, your phone should boot back to normal, but you will LOSE everything and have to start all over.

Hope this helps.

Guys...i am back to 4.1.2 rom without touching knox warranty...thanks anyways.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] akellar:
You installed the ota or the zip package? Not the same thing. You cannot downgrade from the ota with the updated bootloader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jssjnkvch:
Note 2 root

So if I am understanding right I upgraded to 4.3 OTA does this mean I cannot gain root access. I have been trying to root with no luck any help would be great. I'm really hoping I am not stuck now that I updated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] akellar:
You can get root. You cannot get custom recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jssjnkvch:
root 4.3

Could you kindly copy a link to instructions for getting root with 4.3. I have been looking everywhere and nothing seems to be working. Not sure if I am doing something wrong. If I need to unlock the bootloader I could use instructions for that as well. I have been hearing it is more difficult with knox.

---------- Post added at 02:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:36 AM ----------

Also what do you mean by I can't get custom recovery? Does that mean no clockwork mod or twrp?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] akellar:
Google kingo. It's the only root option I'm aware of. You cannot unlock the bootloader and probably never will able again. Yes this means no cwm or twrp.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jssjnkvch:
4.3 root

Sorry for asking so many questions but because I can't use custom recovery does that mean I won't be able to flash custom roms?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] computerslayer:
That's correct.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] seti007:
In my case I upgraded using a stock 4.3 file using Odin (don't have service on the phone). Would I be bootloader locked? Is there any way to check if you have a locked bootloader? I would like to install custom recovery and custom roms. All other methods like Casual etc don't work but I have not tried Kingo.

Thanks

edit: forgot to mention that I flashed the file I605VRUEMJ9_I605VZWEMJ9_I605VRUEMJ9_HOME.tar.md5 using odin. Does that lock the bootloader?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TonikJDK:
You are bootloader locked. You won't be installing any roms. Klingo will give you root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] computerslayer:
Sounds like you're locked. Easy way to check would be to boot to ODIN mode (POWER+HOME+VOLDOWN) and see if you have the 'KNOX WARRANTY VOID' counter in the upper left corner. If so, you have the new, locked boot loader, compliments of Samsung.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] seti007:
Can you look at this attachment, It a picture of my odin mode and tell me if Im locked? Yeah the screen is shattered :(

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] seti007:
Cool thanks but the warranty is only 1 year and the phone is a lot older so the warranty is no longer an issue. However, I would really like to know if my bootloader is locked. I didn't do an OTA upgrade but rather used Odin and the stock 4.3 firmware file mentioned above.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] GaryAlpusa1:
A little knowlegege is a dangerous thing... Having said that.. I think the fellow who said no twrp with the new firmware is wrong. I updated the stock 4.3 and used odin to flash the required firmware. My note was and still is rooted. My bootlaoder was unlocked and I still have twrp recovery. I may be wrong but I think the conventional wisdom is if you flash from odin you loose unlocked bootloader=no custom recovery. I either still have an unlocked BL or twrp works with the upgraded firmware?

I am now exploring going back to vramc3 because I liked my phone much better when there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] akellar:
You didn't flash the updated bootloader
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] GaryAlpusa1:
Thanks you are correct. Upon further reading I used Beantowns stock update for 4.3. That does not include the new bootloader, so I am still on my unlocked version. I stand corrected. G
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RomsWell:
If you flash the full ota via odin you will have a locked BL. But if you kept your 4.1.2 loader and just flashed the firmware bits that beans posted then you still have your no knox 4.1.2 bootloader with the 4.3 bits. So u can still use a custom recovery. If you did flash the full firmware then you are perma locked on 4.3 and I doubt there will ever be a unlock for it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chennikum:
bootloader locked

On Note 2 i605 If I used the zip package to reinstall the 4.3 from 4.1.1, will that still lock my bootloader or can I still downgrade to stock ROM 4.1 and install custom ROM.

Actually you don't need drivers installed manually, keep pushing volume down and connect via usb to pc, the windows will install the drivers automatically and you are ready to go. Remember to keep pushing volume down all the time in the process.

Hi all,

I am pretty new to flashing custom roms to android phones.

Since I am a new member I am not allowed to post links so please bear with me....

The problem I am having, once I've flashed houstonn's AOSP kitkat rom is that the wifi does not work.

Here are the steps I take:

1) root the phone using motochopper or ZV9-ZVB-Universal-Root.

2) Install FreeGee

- backed up my EFS using FreeGee

3) Install CWM or TWRP using FreeGee

4) Boot in recovery mode

- made a backup here too

5) wipe cache and dalvik cache

6) install AOSP and paranoid android gapps

7) reboot the phone

Also worth nothing: My first attempt at flashing the phone ended up soft-bricking my device, and i lost my backup, and thus had to work my phone back to stock via KDZ_FW_UPD and the E97120D kdz obtained from the "Original LG Firmware" tool.

It seems the problem lies with the EFS. The phone knows its IMEI but lists its MAC address as unknown. But I cannot be sure really what the problem is.

Please, I really need some help troubleshooting this: Any ideas anyone has that could help me troubleshoot this is very much appreciated.

Thanks.

used this tool to backup efs (before installing rom) and recovering efs (after installing rom and noticing network, wifi, and camera did not work):

Hello XDA! I'm wanting to get back into using a rootted phone. In fact, I already have rooted my note 3.

I really want to get into a custom ROM, to remove some bloatware, and to be able to theme the system fully.

I previously had a samsung galaxy fascinate (telus) that I had rooted, and I had tried to get a custom ROM on it. Turns out though that I may had messed up! My phone was soft bricked. So I got a dongle made up for me, re-flashed froyo and got rollin again, However I was afraid to try to flash a custom rom. I used it for a year and a half on stock after that, and then decided to try to flash it again. I again had messed up the process, (I think Odin hates my PC). I ended up with a boot looped phone.

Now that I have my note 3, I'm loving it. However I don't want to have to deal with TouchWiz.

My question to you, xda. Is, what is currently involved in getting into a custom ROM on the note 3?

Is there a guide to getting started with this kind of stuff. My phone is rooted, but I have no custom recovery (I'm not sure how to do that).

I'm tempted to just wait for cyanogenmod for the note 3 as it seems to be very popular (and probably would have better support documentations). However If there is a reasonably simple alternative I can get a new rom soon.

Thanks a lot for reading this wall of text, and apologies if this gets asked frequently. I'm just terrified of losing my precious new phone :o

Simplest and easiest way is to get an unlock code either from the network provider you are with or as you are on three network. ... They are unlocking for free. There is a thread on that. .. check it out.

You ring up three from your three sim option 3,3,2,1 (something like that) and give them your imei number and within 7 days they will send you the unlock code.
