I am in the same boat, exactly the same problem. I have a list of phones with this problem. After reading for around 4 days about this problem, there is much information about, and most people concludes that Kernel version does not match BaseBand version.

I have been able to Root I337 4.3 MK2 phone using Kingo, but I cannot install CWM or TWRP Custom Recoverys because the bootloader is locked. I can only install Safestrap Custom Recovery for my phone, I have not done this because I want to have my phone as much stock as possible.

I think the solution is to flash different modems, we have all posted here but in CWM/TWRP version, so I cannot flash thems because my Bootloader does not make install Custom Recoveries, so I have to looking for Odin tar modem files and try if I Odin let me flash them on my phone.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2496517

If any people has any experience or have done this and the process was successful and have the modems in Odin (tar) format, I really appreciate his contributions.

I have tried other tips and tricks like *#0011# and click on Menu button, then WiFi, then WiFi Power save mode OFF. No solution in my case.

The problem to upgrade to I337 4.4.2 is that we cannot come back to 4.3 because there is a new bootloader and this only permit flash 4.4.2 OS ROM versions.

Additional Android OS 4.4.2 cannot be rooted by Today methods and exploits, all under is developing, in the future, for sure there will be a way, but if we do not have root the possibilities to solve/fix WiFi issue are less than if we are root.

:confused: All contributions are very welcome to fix this problem in the scene with Samsung S4 devices.!!

Nice to know i'm not the only around with this problem :good: . As I wrote above i have already flashed a different modem version (successfully) but the problem remained. There's another weird thing with this mess. Yesterday, i noticed that the phone automatically connected to a public Wifi network (in fact the open municipality Wifi network), the antenna of which broadcasts ~100 m from where I was sitting! However, it couldn't even spot the Wifi of the cafe i was in (the router was about 5m away).

I 've tried to connect with 17 different routers (public or private). In my two, i modified the settings in any way i knew, channels, frequency, etc. I 've also tried that *#0011# trick. Every time I ended up with the same result and that raspy feeling of having a practically useless smartphone. Hope there 'll be a solution soon, 4G has already cost me 120E last month.

By the way, my device info

Anything new to share on this??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] John The Rhino:
You need to read the guide All thing MK2 that was posted above. It has all the instructions on how to fix the wifi
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] chanik:
Thanks for taking the time to read my post and answer, but I don't find your answer quite helpful. I don't want you to read the thread for me for sure but have you come across a discussion for this issue in that thread, or just suggesting the thread?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] John The Rhino:
If you are still having the known wifi issue after flashing a rom then you need to Odin back to stock with the mk2 tar files posted in the guide, flash the TW based rom & the Att modules. Follow the instructions for the rom exactly for proper setup. Also check your APN settings too. Be sure to thank the op in the threads that help you & the rom developer as well. Good luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] chanik:
I 've already Odin back to stock, formatted cache, flashed the SHOstock ROM for i337 into ROM slot 1. Procedure completed, DONE printed, asks me to reboot system. Doing so, phone reboots, safestrap:enabled, press continue---> phone turns off.

What am i doing wrong? :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] John The Rhino:
Not clear on what is happening. Your phone shuts off completely after the Safestrap enabled splash screen? Does it boot up into rom at all? Did you allow your phone sit for 10 minutes after you flashed the new rom before using it? You may need to reflash rom if not. Also try removing & reinstalling Safestrap.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] chanik:
Yeah sure i did, left it for about a quarter...didn't boot up at all. i'm gonna give it one more try after reinstalling safestrap...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] John The Rhino:
Perhaps try a fresh download. Sometimes you can get a bad download.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] chanik:
I don't think I'm installing ROM as i should. Also tried with Goldeneye 21, same things happened. Although SS says installation is succesful, i think it's not.

Anyway, i'm tired with this s***, i think i' ll give up. Yesterday judapa told me i could fix it using sptbox, like he did...but wtf??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] John The Rhino:
Did you check your apn settings after flashing Goldeneye?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] chanik:
How do i do that? (By the way, thank you for your help & patience)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] John The Rhino:
It's likely you missed a step. Very easy to do with this phone. Flashing roms on it is a bit more complicated than it is on unlocked boot loader versions. But it can be done. I'm also on mk2 running the 4.4.2 Kit Kat Deadly Venom rom. Everything works beautifully. Did you check your apn settings after flashing Goldeneye? Maybe try a non-international rom 1st?

---------- Post added at 04:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:21 PM ----------

Just enter apn setting into the search bar on XDA & find your carrier. Then select that thread & follow the instructions. Some roms you need to configure the apn settings manually.

---------- Post added at 04:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:24 PM ----------

. Don't give up. You are so close to having an even more awesome S 4!

---------- Post added at 04:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:28 PM ----------

You can flash custom rom on mk2 firmware even with the locked boot loader with Hashcode's Safestrap version 3.71 (which is a heavily modified TWRP recovery). Everything you need to know & do is in this easy to follow guide linked below. As far as other methods found on youtube or elsewhere to root, flash roms, and fix wifi, I say, if it's not listed on XDA, I wouldn't even trust it.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jvrno:
Hi there!

Bit of a problem with my Galaxy S. Had Darky's Rom 9.4, but I wanted update to 11. Somehow everything didn't work as intended, after wiping cache and dalvik-cache the phone didn't start at all. Just Samsung screen when booting, after 2 hours I called it a brick.

So I unbricked it by installing stock rom. Well, at least I can make calls and send sms. But there is some issues:

1. Volume buttons and home buttons doesn't work.

2. Impossible to charge the phone. If I insert charger, I cannot even boot it. If phone is turned on and I put charger in, 5 seconds and it will turn off.

Of course, I can't get into recovery mode, although CMrecovery is in there. It's just because of the button mappings which is screwed up somehow. Flashing stock firmware doesn't work either, because phone will crash after inserting the USB-cable. Downloadmode is accessible, but crashing in 5 seconds.

Bit of stuck here. I know, RTFM when flashing but too late for now. Is there any way to get full wipe? Scripts or something? Apps?

...oh wow.. it was my friend who flashed it with "stock" firmware, but it says i897 in about phone.. No wonder why nothing works.

4. Connect to PC using USB cable.

5. Hold volume up + volume down + Power.

Hi xsenman,

Thanks for reply. Don't know what you mean captivate but yeah, it's incorrect ROM and probably kernel as well, but it's working somehow.

Will have a look on those instructions you provided. However, I managed to get into recovery mode. In i897 it's both volume buttons and power. So the volume buttons actually work. However, I cannot choose wipe because they are not working in recovery mode. :silly:

I'm able to have internet connection, so maybe I'll try with Quick Boot or Hot Boot.
