I've been using the Jellybro kang of CyanogenMod (10-20121120-SKANK-d2vzw). I had NFC working as recently as the 11/3 build, but when I flashed the 11/5 build NFC broke.
I tried flashing a stock JB (deodexed and rooted) rom, enabling NFC and restoring back to my nandroid, but the NFC still wasn't fixed. I've tried the NFCfix.zip and that didn't work either.
Do I need to flash stock.vzw_root66.tar in Odin and turn on NFC? Or is there a specific stock rom I should be using?
What am I doing wrong, or what else should I try? I've done my best to search the forums and figure out a solution, so figure me if there has been clearly hashed out elsewhere.
Thanks!
[edit] Solution: flash this NFC fix http://www.mediafire.com/?y6vx27cpaasqhxs
i use an ICS rom to fix my NFC, have you tried that instead of JB TW?

Let me give it a shot. Are you suggesting any TW ICS rom or specifically a stock ICS? Can you link me to the rom you use, please?
Thanks!
Have a look at http://rootzwiki.com/topic/36150-aosp-and-nfc/page__st__10 .... on that page, someone created a flashable zip that fixed my NFC, direct link to zip (flash via recovery) http://www.mediafire.com/?y6vx27cpaasqhxs
*edit* I see that you've tried an NFC fix before, so had I and it didn't work. This one did!
i use a stock rooted from scottt that i have saved on my laptop to fix my NFC.

No matter what I do, I cannot get my NFC to enable. I've flashed both the posted fixes and I've reverted completely back to stock, unrooted ICS, and several other ICS TW ROMs and NFC will not turn on. Has this happened to anyone? Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it? I was on PA 2.52 and had used wallet for a few weeks before NFC quit. Now it's just completely dead

I'm having the exact same problem and seems like no one can help with this
On my S4 I9505 I can turn on S4 but then nothing happens whenever I try to scan any tag... Any ideas? I flashed different stock roms and tested 3 different batteries with visible loop antennas on them. Nothing works.
Hi guys, I got the nexus 5 a while back and I have successfully rooted and flashed Cataclysm ROM with the Elemental Kernel.
I have a really strange problem where the WiFi does not work at all. I turn the WiFi on, but it does not scan and find any networks, so I cannot see any WiFi networks in the area. I reflashed the ROM cleanly and the problem went away for a while, but it is now back and I cannot find and networks around me.
The only network it picks up is my home network that I set the phone up with when it was working, but now I have to enter even that manually.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Does the wifi work when you do not use the Cataclysm ROM and it was completely stock? Or before you even started did you just root it and load a ROM?

hehe yeah, i had stock for about 2 days but then cataclysm persuaded me!
That is strange because I am running it along with Franco Kernel and I am doing fine..... Are you doing anything else?
Hi guys,
As the title stated, I couldn't get the wifi to work at all. I tried flashing both stock and custom roms, but I still couldn't make it work. When I slide the wifi "on", it immediately slides back to "off". It didn't even scan for networks. Does anyone know what is the cause of this problem and how can I fix it? The last working custom rom I used was the Infusion rom. Right after I install the stock firmware, the wifi no longer works anymore.
Thanks.

I got the same exact problem after I flashed the faux kernel. :/ Were you able to find a solution yet?
Lately, I'm experiencing a lot of problems with my Xperia L. For one, when I turn on Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, the phone just hangs for about five minutes before finally activating them. The same case applies to when I activate a wireless hotspot on my device. When I tap on 'enable wireless tethering', the phone completely hangs. This has really started getting on my nerves! :crying:
Also, when I capture multiple photos from my camera, I'm finding that some images are automatically rotated. I have to manually rotate them, which, of course, is no child's play.
Another issue that I'm facing is that the phone's gotten a bit unresponsive. It doesn't fire up applications like it previously did (not that I have many apps installed too. Just 4).
All this has got me thinking, was the Xperia L a waste of money? No firmware upgrades coupled with tons of bugs!
Should I risk it and go for a custom ROM? I really need some advice, fellow users! Please reply as soon as possible! :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

It seems like you are on Stock ROM. If you have not done it already, try do a factory reset i know its not an easy task but it may bring your happy days back. If you are not a big Fan of Sony UI you can try Many KitKat ROMS that are available updated with Latest sources 4.4.4.
Very soon we might have almost Bug Free KitKat Custom ROM's, Its your wish to Flash a Custom ROM. (Losing Warranty)
WIFI + Bluetooth not working even after Kitkat cm11 rom

I Also have this problem with WIFI and Bluetooth. Cant switch em on. I was on 4.2.2 update...
At first WIFI & BT are fine. About 2 weeks ago it starts restarting. When I'm lucky enough to reach inside the Setting and use phone for sometime, I tried to turn on wifi... Phone hangs... then restart.. Sometimes it takes several "auto" restart before i can operate the phone. But after those, everytime I turn on WIFI.. it hang/restart. Also happen w/ bluetooth.
I tried flashing/downgrade to 4.1.2 stock rom w/ flashtool. The restarting stopped/fixed... BUT, there's no way I can turn on wifi. i keeps switched off everytime i tried.
Finally, I installed CM11 kitkat cw. Everything looks new and fine ans smooth.. BUT... still cannot switch on wifi! and bluetooth!! >.<
I dont know what to do. Is this a hardware problem?? or is there a fix/zip i can flash to fix this??
HELP.

15.3.A.1.14 or higher. Always flash the latest firmware if possible.

I resolved the issue! It's going to sound extremely silly, but it worked wonders for me.
Basically, I deleted all downloaded apps that require a 'Full internet access' permission (The one with the WiFi icon), and viola! WiFi and Bluetooth work wonders now. I noticed this problem when I uninstalled Cleaner Master, and WiFi and Bluetooth jumped to life.
This is, however, a major setback. I can now download only a limited number of apps..
But hey, at least WiFi and Bluetooth work, so I've got that going, which is nice...
Any reasons why this may be happening guys?

You should perform a clean install of latest stock ftf. Looks like there's a problem with your kernel too. So flashing will put a new life to your phone. Remember to do clean install of firmware including kernel and wipe data alongwith resetting customizations.

Flash latest ftf using flashtool. Wipe everything and reset customizations.
will help you for sure if it's not hardware.
Hope it helps
Hit thanks if it does.
Hi all -
I recently updated to the 4.4.3 VzW firmware and upgraded from Viper 1.8.0 to Viper 2.5.0. Since upgrading, I have been having troubles with my hotspot. After being on and other devices have been using it for a bit, my M8 begins to rapidly turn on/off the Data Connection. This doesn't stop and the only way to fix the problem is go into airplane mode and back out again. I figured that I may have had a bad flash, so i tried reflashing clean downloads of both the firmware and a full wipe and reinstall of ViperOne, but still seeing the exact same issue. I seem to be also experiencing a problem where my phone is reporting a 4G connection, but data is disconnected and i cannot get anything over the data channel. Voice works fine. Again, to fix it's a cycle through airplane mode.
I tried applying the changes recommended by for the 4G handoff fix, even though the problem described does not seem to be exactly the same as mine. It did not seem to help, and mae it even harder to get a reliable 4G connection.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/general/verizon-4g-handoff-fix-t2868778
Has anyone else seen anything like this and have any recommendations for a fix?
Just realized this would be better in the troubleshooting forum. Is there a way for me to move it there or does that require a moderator?

I have had the same thing, going back to 1.55.605.2 FW does seem to be the fix, I think its something with 4.4.3 FW.
One of the so called improvements is Mobile hotspot connectivity, but maybe that's only with phones that don't use the patched default.xml,
the ones that really pay for the mobile hotspot.

Thanks for the reply - do you have a link for the old firmware, so i can flash and revert back to that?
Also - are you still running Viper 2.x or did you roll back to a prior ROM as well?
After some more searching, i found this link for stock 4.4.2 on VzW, but was wondering if anyone has the firmware only, so don't have to restore recovery, and rom afterwards.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2727831
I certainly can and will do it, if necessary, just would prefer to have the firmware only, if someone has it available. Anyone?
Thanks in advance for the help!

Thanks, downloaded and reverted. Long boot times, but things working. Now to give the hotspot a few tests. I'll update with my results.

initial tests are very promising. hotspot seems to be stable and hasn't dumped the data connection yet. Looks like good old VzW managed to screw up the firmware update as usual. Would be nice if they didn't always to be different. Thank god for these forums and the hardworking devs here!
I spoke too soon. Still seeing the same issue after reverting the FW back to 1.55.605.2. Anyone seeing this? Any thoughts on if reverting back to Viper 1.8 would help?

I don't think it is the firmware that is the issue, I think it is the kernel. You should be good going back to Viper 1.8 as it uses an older kernel. I would think you would also be fine using the newer firmware and an older ROM version.

I'm starting to believe this as well, that there's something flaky in the 2.x Viper ROMS for VzW and hotspots, and likely in the kernel. I've already reverted back to the old firmware, and I'm going to go back to a clean 1.7.x full install, then OTA to 1.8. Will update with the results.
