How to fix wifi issue on 4.3

Ok, so I was looking at fixing the 4.3 wifi issue and so this forum says that the wifi issue is fixed but doesn't explain how. I successfully downgraded to 4.3 from 4.4.2 and I applied "update.zip" but it said that it could not install because of the content. Also I had rooted on 4.3 because I needed unlocked to use tmobile. Anyways, I have no idea how I downgraded to 4.3 but I did it, so do I have to unroot to apply "update.zip" so that the wifi issue is fixed?

How did you downgraded to NB1?

Hi. Please tell me the exact steps you took to downgrade to NB1. I'm on NJ4, and I've got the full NB1 odin .tar, but I'm still not sure if simply flashing it will not birck my i337.

Thanks in advance and wish you luck reverting to 4.3.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] robot_head:
Odin the nb1 tar. Then root with towelroot, you don't need nj4 unless there's a 4.4.4 ROM you want. And 4.3 is jelly bean, nb1 doesn't work well with jb. And this method will not brick your device it will simply return it to out of the box like conditions.

help me please

Hi everyone i am kinda noob guy in this, and i have searched for days in all post for a answer or a simple video tutorial teaching how to use the bypasslkm to fix wifi and it doesnt exist, i have made so a hard effort to learn and try to understand and still cant get it . can someone please take some of his precious time and help this noob here, can you teach step by step how to use the bypasslkm to fix wifi with simple words anyone can understand?

here is a list of things i have done , so you can tell me where i am wrong

- i download android sdk so i can use the adb

-i download the bypasslkm zip file

- i unzipped the file in the cmputer , then in all the files the computer unziped i searched for the file named bypasslkm in data/local/tmp and adb pushed only that file ( did i had to push all the file without unzipping it?)

- then after years of searching i discovered i had to go to my phone and download a app called terminal emulator

- then with that app i had to run the commands cd /data/local/tmp

chmod 755 bypasslkm

./bypasslkm

after that it trow me a message where it says it didnt have permission or something like that.

what do i do now help me please.

Thanks for the update. Is there still an issue where you lose sound and phone doesn't work if you downgrade? or does flashing a 4.3 ROM resolve those issues?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] rebel1699:
If you only flash the 4.3 ap file when downgrading, you will have sound and phone, but wifi will not work. If you flash the 4.3 cp, it fixes wifi, but kills sound and phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Maribou:
Yes, this issue still remains. Overwriting the 4.4 system files with 4.3 causes a loss in phone and sound functionality.

I haven't messed with it in a few days, but that's how it was for me a few days ago.

I flashed the nb1 boot.img (odin) and and the modules (safestrap) but no go. 4.3 does not boot with the nb1 boot.img. Also, after odin 4.4 boot.img, you can still enter safestrap, but it can no longer mount /system

If somebody comes up with the nb1 safestrap flashable kernel and boot.img, please let me know. I would like to try that, as opposed to doing it through odin.

I wont have access to a pc till late tonight.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] crazy_dragonlady:
I'm so glad I'm not brave enough to try all this flashing in hopes of breaking through the OTA to KitKat LOL

After reading this whole thread I feel REALLY stupid! ;)

What I gather is that as of now there is no way to root once you have the NB1?? And therefore, if we want to root our phones DO NOT apply the 4.4.3 OTA update... or whatever the numbers are lol

Correct me if I'm wrong please :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] rebel1699:
Correct. At this moment, there is no root for nb1 4.4.2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] DeadlySin9:
Safestrap never flashes to the kernel/boot.img, that's what makes it safe. Otherwise custom kernels packaged with other ROMs would trip the unauthorized software screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] rebel1699:
Ok, here is where we are. After updating to nb1, we know you can downgrade system, kernel and all back to mk3, except for aboot and general bootloader. You can root again using saferoot and reinstall safestrap. Safestrap functions normally and will install 4.3 roms and restore from 4.3 backups. You WILL lose wifi wben using the ap to downgrade. See my explaination on this a few posts back.

Now, to the experimental part. Loading 4.4 roms via safestrap. We have a great one to test, but after flashing it to stock slot, flashing nb1 modules and immediately odin 4.4 nb1 stock boot.img, you can boot to boot animation, but it loops. I think safestrap may be blocking something, or is just not configured to get it done. This is becajse after using odin to flash the 4.4 boot.img, you can still get into safestrap, but safestrap is then unable to mount /system (systemorig) I am hoping [MENTION=4243514]Hashcode[/MENTION] could read this, and possibly give some insight.

---------- Post added at 06:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:24 PM ----------

I realized that after a bit ago. I am using strictly odin for boot.img files. The confusion came from when safestrap was first done, I was the tester for att version. At that point, only rom slots were protected. Stock slot was not. If you wanted to risk it, you had to manually edit the update-config and hope you didnt brick (didnt have mf3 odins yet) Im probably the second or third to get gpe on stock during mf3 days.

Thanks very much to the OP. This method worked 100% for me. Now running stock 4.4.2. Before this I had the custom status, I think leftover junk from my root on 4.3. I took the OTA without unrooting (im a idoiot).

md5:fe80696a7e8fd00ac2837816eaf8cf32

I should mention, this fix is dependent upon you having the NB1 kernel, NONHLOS, and system.img.ext4 on your device. So you would have had to flash the following from the NB1 update:

boot.img

modem.bin

NON-HLOS.bin

system.img.ext4
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] rebel1699:
Just flashed, with no effect. I may try manual placing them.

If we have all that, we cant boot at all. I flashed the non-hlos last night, and that was the source of sound and phone failure. Non-hlos alone fixed the wifi. Just jad the other bad effects. That is 4.3 and 4.4 versions of the file

---------- Post added at 08:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:16 PM ----------

Where we are losing wifi is after we downgrade from nb1 to mk2. All wifi lost. Odin the boot.img alone kills boot. Non-hlos kills sound and phine, but fixes wifi.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] John The Rhino:
That's pretty disrespectful & offensive comment. Everyone who reads the threads on XDA are made aware never to ask for etas. It's rude and shows a lack of respect for the developers who all do this on the side of their paying jobs, family, other hobbies so on and so forth.

My guess is this is what we are dealing with: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50118461&postcount=51

We all got jobs and family's and bills to pay. I don't have a problem with that, or a problem with respecting that.

There are far more respectful ways of asking someone not to ask for an ETA, your post being an example. Common courtesy goes a long way my friend
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] rebel1699:
We have the bootloader and stock signed boot.img. When boot.img isnflashed via odin, a custom 4.4 rom installed through safestrap will make it to boot animation. Just gotta jump that ladt hurdle.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Surge1223:
Wait are you trying to get wifi working on nb1 or mk2? The zip i made was for wifi to work on nb1 given that thw nb1 HLOS was on the device.

When you try to turn on wifi on nb1 and it fails open terminal and type

su

dmesg |grep T

And post the output. Maybe im reading what you guys are doing wrong. What all from NB1 is being flashed on the MK2 device when you upgrade like this? Another solution is to stay on the mk2 kernel and use bypasslkm to load the kernel modules.

Edit: You said you're losing wifi after dowgrading. Can you tell me what partitions you're flashing when you try downgrading?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] DeadlySin9:
They've been using the AP and CP MK2 TAR files. If i remember right, flashing AP only leads to no WiFi, and flashing CP afterwards fixes WiFi but kills phone and sound.

EDIT: So you don't have to go looking if you don't remember, AP is boot.img, recovery.img, persdata.img.ext4, and system.img.ext4. CP is mobem.bin and NON-HLOS.bin.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Maribou:
They are using the unbrick 1, and 2 files posted in the op.

The 2 Tar files are from MK2. They contain :

I337_4.4_Unbrick_Part1.tar.md5

modem.bin

non-hlos.bin

system.img.ext4

I337_4.4_Unbrick_Part2.tar.md5

cache.img.ext4

recovery.img

What they have managed to do was faux(I guess) downgrade, and have root and safestrap.

But, the audio and phone functions went out the window.
[MENTION=833788]rebel1699[/MENTION] managed to get those functions working, but sacrificed wifi.

I think... ;)

Hi guys, I came across this thread by accident.. after reading I felt I should post. I have been work for a few weeks on something similar using the MLD leak files. On the note 3 forum there is a dev that has made a KK rom that can be installed via Safestrap and using Odin to flash select leaked files... after installing this on my note 3 I have been working to do the same on my wife's S4. I am pretty sure I have the process figured out, based on what has worked for the note 3... correct me if I am wrong guys but the problem is the roms, we need one built from the leaked or officail att KK build or fully ported over. The roms available are for less locked down versions of the phone than we have...
