When did you flash CWM? Is it 6.0.4.5? How did you flash it? Via Odin?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Wesley.:
I can't boot into recovery, I get the firmware upgrade thing again. i have no idea what version it is, and yes via odin
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
For recovery, are you holding the home button, volume up, and then pressing and holding power? You need to hold all 3 until you see some blue text appear on the screen, then let go of the power button.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Wesley.:
Yes, but it gives me the same error. :<
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Sounds like you need to re-flash CWM or TWRP. I suggest flashing Philz Touch Recovery via Odin.

When flashing, remove the checkmark for auto reboot. Once it flashes and you see the word Reset, disconnect the USB cable, pull the battery, replace the battery, and then try to enter recovery.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Wesley.:

I tried to root my phone with Odin, and it's rooted after replacing the recovery with Philz Touch Recovery, and working fine. I'm on 4.3, woah.

Awesome. What recovery did you have before? I tried TWRP but ran into problems flashing ROMS so I switched to Philz. I trust Philz and used it on my Moto Atrix HD, S3, and LG P930.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Wexberg:
Hi everyone, I'll try to keep this as concise and clear as possible. Thanks in advanced for reading this.

Phone: SGS4

Running: Android 4.3

Carrier: Bell Canada

Rooted: No

Rom: Stock TouchWiz.

Problem: The phone will not turn on WiFi or Bluetooth. If you attempt to switch either on, it remains a dim green for a few seconds and then turns back off shortly after.

Solutions tried:

(a) Battery pull.

- Unsuccessful. (At first, if battery pulled during Samsung logo animation after restarting from ON state, both WiFi/Bluetooth would turn on again, sometimes for minutes, sometimes hours. Eventually, this stopped working. It would only work on a restart pulling the battery during the animation, never at any other time)

(b) Update to latest firmware through Samsung Kies.

- Unsuccessful.

(c) Boot into safe mode to see if any applications were the cause.

- Unsuccessful.

(d) Wipe device clean and start fresh.

- Unsuccessful.

(e) Change WiFi power saving state to off through *#0011# menu.

- Unsuccessful.

I have not tried loading other roms or kernels.

A quick google search shows that many people have the same problem, I have yet to find a working solution. If anyone here can point me in the right direction, I'm willing to pay at this point. I cannot return it to Samsung as there is a crack on the screen which has voided the warranty. I could fix the screen and try sending it in but I'm hoping for a software solution.

I feel as if it is not a hardware issue as the battery pulls worked initially.

Any input would be greatly appreciated. Once again, I'm willing to pay for a working solution, the number is up to you as long as it is reasonable.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
I need a couple people running either MK2 or MJ7 with Safestrap installed to test if flashing the tether unlock zip below (MJ7 or MK2 depending on what build your on) also enables all toggles, including the Wifi Hotspot toggle. I flashed the MJ7 one since I'm on MJ7 and it worked but I want to confirm it works and hopefully someone on MK2 can confirm it works before I post it for everyone. Please respond and let me know if it works/doesn't and what if any errors were. Only try on VRUEMJ7 or VRUEMK2 roms/builds.

Thanks

Just tried the MJ7 zip while running Foxhound SS on stock slot. I ran into a bootloop after wiping cache and davlik. Said it was trying to start an app that was already running and had to stop first then looped. Had to restore a nandroid. oh well.

This is because Foxhound uses a ML6 base so the framework-res.apk file is different. Sorry should have stated in the OP to only try on VRUEMJ7 or VRUEMK2 roms/builds. Ill edit it now, thanks for trying though and again sorry about the bootloop

Hey All,

Doing some hacking here...

My company only supports Verizon phones connecting to out Intellisync environment for access to our Exchange environment. Well I'm a Cingular user and don't want to switch. I've gotten a co-worker to grab the Verizon Wireless Sync software from the Verizon web page (rebranded Intellisync product) for me but it's only the WM2003 version. This version does actually work well, but I'm looking for WM5 perfection!

For all their WM5 phones the web site says "included in your phone" so what I was hoping for is that some nice soul with either a Samsung i830 (I know wrong forum) or a xv6700 (Apache) might be able to extract out the Wireless Sync CAB file and post it or shoot me a link or PM.

If not does anybody know where to get the latest WM5 version of Verizon's Wireless Sync product or maybe the Intellisync counterpart?

Any help appreciated - there's got to be more than one way to skin a corporate email system.

Thanks,

-JMS

You can find it here...

I posted the cab installer in the following thread:

http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=43555

It will give you what you need - and is the full client, not the cripled one VZW offers. Use it on my 8125 and other WM5 devices...even those that talk to the VZW wireless sync server.

If you have the VZW client installed you should uninstall before installing this one.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ang1dust:
I recently rooted my phone. I have not installed any ROMs because i love the stock rom so much but i decided to try one today. I didnt have my computer with me so i downloaded one today and rebooted into recovery. I saved my current rom and then wiped and accidently pressed Data, it asks if i want to wipe everything and i press back. I go to look at my downloads and they are all gone. I look for my backup i had JUST nandroid backed up and it was gone.

So there i am stuck. There is a thread for returning to Stock rom. Sure ok, but its a long process including the 2 gig download which is only uploading at 260mbit/s so another hour or 2.

I have tried sideloading a rom but it fails.

Any suggestions on how to get a rom onto the phone without booting it? I dont have a micro usb to sd card or i would have done that already =/
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fr4nk1yn:
You need adb on the pc, connect, then in terminal or cmd

adb push ROM.zip /sdcard

Copying the zip to the folder with adb makes it easier and the above command correct, (of course replace ROM.zip with the actual name).
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ang1dust:
via sideload or no?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fr4nk1yn:
No. Sideload could work, I don't remember the command off hand.

Adb push copies it to the internal memory then you flash through the menu normal.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ang1dust:
I gave you thanks.

That seems to work. For anyone that gets into this situation where there are no roms in your phone and you have no way to transfer them. Boot into TWRP, do not use sideload. Just main screen. Device manager will show to be just "g2" and you need the driver. In the driver folder from http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48709232&postcount=869 driver section, update driver and browse to 64BitADB and choose androidandadb. It will then give you a list of options starting with Testing drivers, one that dates back to 2010 and another thats 2012. You want the one thats 2nd from the bottom called LG G2 verizon net adb or something like that. Works perfect and connects to adb.

If anyone truely needs this process i can break it down to specifics on how to get it to work. Thanks so much for your help fr4nk1yn! :)

if using Windows 8 series disable driver verification signature(google it) and install universal naked driver

if not just install universal naked driver(turn device in twrp mode,put on pc then go to device manager and u will se there something with either adb, or nexus, or google or android on the name with some yellow thing, double click on it,select manual and select search for driver, then u select the folder where u extracted universal naked driver and wait till it installs. then in twrp go to advanced and go adb sideload then u sideload a rom, or just push to device(/data/media/0/somethinghere) and install normaly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DeadlySin9:
When you say wipe device clean, how did you do that? Did you use ODIN and flash the firmware or just do a factory reset?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Wexberg:
I did not use ODIN, I did a simple factory reset. I will try that ASAP and post an update. If there any other solutions as well, I would really appreciate them in case that does not do the trick.

Thank you for your response DeadlySin, it is greatly appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DeadlySin9:
Just try that first, as doing a factory reset does not actually change the system files but rather wipes all userdata. Just use the file for whatever firmware you have in the I337m firmwares thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Wexberg:
DeadlySin9,

I finally got around to using odin to reset the firmware, first to stock 4.3 from my carrier, then 4.2, both of which still failed to change the state of the problem. At this point, it seems like an obvious hardware problem but if that was true, I still can't understand why I could re-initiate WiFi/Bluetooth after a specific pattern of battery pulls (this does not work anymore but worked for awhile, stopped, then started again, now finally stopped). Any last ideas? I really appreciate your help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DeadlySin9:
I don't know why that would work. At this point I'm not sure what else you could do. I know I used to have WiFi issues after some flashes with my Inspire but i never really had a fix even then.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Amb669:
i had issues enabling wifi after installing a custom kernel & with certain roms (same 1/2 lit green toggle crap, sometimes it would toggle back off sometimes it would just stay 1/2 lit and make my phone burn)

my solution has been 100% working for myself so far, if you'd like to try it here's the directions

1. install es file explorer

2. set root permissions AND mount as writable, within es file explorer

3. use es file explorer to navigate to the root of your phone (system directory, i think) and open the build.prop file than select the es file editor

4. find the line that says ro.securestorage.support=true and edit it to false, save and close

5. reboot phone, and hopfully you have no more wifi issues

i was skeptical when i first did this because nothing worked to fix my wifi, but this works 100% for me on every rom
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] fffft:
Been there, done that.

It's not a hardware problem. It is, I believe, problems with the restrictive 4.3 update not playing nicely with some system settings. In short your system drivers or configuration settings are getting messed up to to bugs in how Knox and the bootloader are interacting with the modem.

I had your exact symptoms after installing certain custom ROMs, also noted that the problem could be temporarily "fixed" if the boot process was interrupted or by specific sequences of modem changes. The situation is not helped by Bell being more restrictive than other Canadian carriers e.g. Rogers, something that also caused me problems when I was enabling AWS on a Bell firmware.

The effective solution was to install a custom recovery to facilitate a complete wipe of files, then flash a Rogers stock image. Cured. And continuing to work properly if subsequently returned to a Bell stock image. Although, frankly you'd have a more stable and flexible platform if you you kept the Rogers image in the end. If the build properties edit doesn't solve your issue, then here is a path for you to pursue.

1/2 Lit Toggles - build.prop editing issue

I have the exact same problem - I'm on US AT&T, I337UCUAMF3, Android 4.2.2 and this solution looks promising. I followed the steps and have RW set up, but ro.securestorage.support does not exist in my build.prop file. Does anyone know if this property is specific to certain builds and/or if there is an equivalent property?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DeadlySin9:
Adding it to the end shouldn't hurt as long as you make sure you set properties on the build.prop
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jrwebdev17:
Thanks for the tip, good to know it wouldn't screw anything up. I did add it to the build.prop file, rebooted and it seems to have had no effect. Seems that if the property is not present in the file, adding it does not resolve the problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] fffft:
Editing build.prop is a plausible workaround if the OP has root access. If he doesn't wish to root his phone, then he can clean up his system configuration by reinstalling as I described earlier in the thread without requiring root. Two approaches to the same result.

And yes, you can add the entry if it doesn't already exist in your configuration.

.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jrwebdev17:
UPDATE: I didn't have any luck using the build.prop fix, nor with the wpa_supplicant.conf fix that some of you may have seen mentioned. I ended up Recovering to stock MF3, (I was already on MF3). This gave up my root access, and I didn't take any additional steps to hide busy_box or anything like that, after my MF3 recovery it looked like I was safely unrooted and I contacted AT&T support via web-chat, and they asked some questions and sent me to a nearby AT&T device center. I took it there, they didn't ask a single question about how it happened, whether I had rooted it, etc(although I was paranoid that there would be traces left behind and they would turn me away). Long story short, they replaced the phone no questions asked!

In my opinion it would seem that while this problem could in some cases be caused by rooting and tinkering, it's enough of a known issue to AT&T that they would replace it under warranty. Hopefully Bell or other carriers would do the same. My advice is to try your carrier, particularly if you are with AT&T.

Just to help people who are searching for a solution. I had flashed a T-Mobile rom and my wifi stopped being togglable on my AT&T S4. That is, I couldn't turn on wifi. The button would get stuck on. After trying to flash what I thought was the right MK2 modem and still having the same issue, I thought I was out of luck. However, I found this one here: http://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=3275 and hit paydirt. Flashing it using Safestrap and then wiping cache and delvik worked. The file is called jflteatt-MK2-modules.zip.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] elkolodj:
Only for WIFI, for me what worked was I had to open a litte bit the one side of the phone and close it again (removing a little the plastic, like if you were going to open the device) Wifi started working again, no need to flash any roms, it seemed to be something related with pressure, humidity or something inside the phone.

Regarding bluetooh I had no luck still not working, only keeps saying activating and never gets activated.
