S3 rom wifi issue help please

hey im new to the forum and i rooted my s3 and have the r420 senergy rom installed but the wifi dooesnt work! uhhhhh i cant post in the development section till i have 10 posts. so any one who can help that would be great. ive been doing a lot of reading and what is the differnce between nightly and and regular roms? and i read that the wifi wont work on the nightly rom with out a kernel flash?>?>? Is this right? im going to try the v1.6 senergy any way .....my model is the i535 but yall probably already know that because you hacked my ip address and seen my phone plugged in J/K ha thanks in advance

First off, Synergy r433 is the latest version. And a new release is scheduled to drop any minute now.
A nightly is an experimental build that gets updated nightly. Whereas a stable build is less frequent but as the name suggests is stable. Nightly you must really know what you're doing and are be okay with occasional bugs, otherwise use the stable releases. (fyi SynergyROM stopped releasing nightlies)
As for your Wifi problem, reflash but the make sure you do a full factory reset, and then a super wipe within the AROMA installer. *This will wipe internal storage, make sure to have the ROM zip on external storage* Wifi is not bugged, I'm suggesting the was a flashing error.

Thank you so much for replying. i was thinking the same about the nightly "name" but thanks for clarifying. i have tried several times. in clockworkmod recovery(or whatever the name is) i factory reset and in the installer i wipe everything. (on the internal sd) and then install cleanly. but my kernel doesnt flashed it says its not unlocked.?!?! how do i unock it? i unlocked the bootloader and once more so i knew for sure. and my phone says custom with a padlock unlocked symbol below. but same thing everytime...wifi is buggy. i like this rom and just want it to work...thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!! is there a special "better" kernel unlock method? my paitients are getting low...lol well my girl wants her phone stock ...F**CK THATT!!!!!!!!!! thanks man

I am experiencing the same issue.
I rooted, flashed CWO, and then installed synergy. Nothing worked... then I read that you need to unlock the bootrom so I did that, rebooted and got the same... no wifi. After unlocking the bootloader I reinstalled synergy (R484) and still WiFi will not turn on.
I followed they synergy thread for flashing and This thread for bootloader unlocks.
Provider: Verizon
Phone: GS3
ROM: SynergyROM (r484)
Recovery: ClockworkOrange

Got it fixed!
So... I only used odin... no romloader apps or any of that crap...
1: Reinstalled stock ROM
2: Reinstalled CWO
3: Reinstalled Root+Bootloader
4: Reinstalled SynergyROM
5: Enjoy! Wifi works, all applications work!

[Q] SMS won't send. Can receive/send MMS calls and Data

The Problem/Symptoms: I've been running a version of last CM10.2 for the past year. On February 20th, I was able to send a single SMS and then subsequent texts failed. I could still receive SMS, send/receive MMS, send/receive calls and send/receive data. If I toggle airplane mode/reboot I can send another SMS and then subsequent sms are undeliverable.
What wont work: Flashing to CM11 does not change the issue.
Disabling Voice+ does not change the issue
Factory Reset does not change the issue
Workarounds: Toggle Airplane mode
Switching Mobile Network to CDMA only (not permanent)
Change your number to a different area code
Going back to a Touchwiz based ROM
The Solution
net-cat said:
Alright. I think I've refined my process and it results in having a newer radio as well as not having to ODIN things or do dd commands.
NOTE: This isn't fully tested. When I did this, my phone wasn't showing the issue. I did this after doing my original procedure, but the GPS stopped working after I updated the radio from VRALF2 to VRBMB1. You shouldn't need to do the original procedure for this to work, but I haven't tested that. At the very least, the original procedure still works and this one can be used afterward if you need the newer radio. (GSM support...)
Ideally, we'll want to get to a procedure that doesn't use ODIN or dd. Hopefully this is a step in that direction.
Requirements:
A rooted stock ROM of the VRUCML1/4.3 vintage. I used Scott's Stock Rooted Knox Free VRUCML1 - 4.3 - DeOdex - V2. (Thread here.)
VRBMB1 AIO Flash, available here. (Thread here.)
I'm going to assume you know how to boot into and use recovery.
NOTE: Do NOT let the stock ROM install any updates.
Starting with my CM11 M3 install, I did a nandroid backup. (Recovery is CWM Touch 6.0.4.5, but I doubt that matters.)
Flash the VRBMB1 AIO.
Wipe data and cache.
Flash the stock ROM.
Boot into the stock ROM.
The reprovisioning seems to happen as a part of ROM's initial boot up.
Send a few text messages to test. (I sent them to Twitter.)
Launch the Maps application, turn on your GPS and let it get a lock. If you don't, when you boot back into your ROM, you probably won't have working GPS.
This would be a good time to back up your IMEI if you haven't already done so.
Reboot into your recovery, wipe data/cache and restore your nandroid backup.
At this point, you'll be running your preferred ROM with a less archaic radio than my previous post.
DO NOT UPGRADE YOUR RADIO. The moment I upgraded my radio, the problem came back!
CM11 M3 will work just fine with the old radio. I've rebooted several times over the last few hours and it still works fine. (Time will tell if it's a long term fix or not.)

Notes: There are threads for the S4 with this identical problem. All updated information I have seen is listed above. If anyone knows more please post as I am going to keep this updated. If this does/doesn't work for you please post and let the community know. Feel free to hit the thanks button if it works for you.

This exact thing happened to me. I tried many fixes with no luck. After hours of hacking around in settings, I found a ROM of verizon's 4.3 OTA update and flashed that through ODIN. My texts are working just fine again. Kind of a cheap method of fixing my problem. I wish I could have taken more time to find a fix, but I needed to be able to communicate with people that day.
Stock 4.3 is kind of lame:
-4.3 is killing my battery faster than ever. CM11 had me going for days without charging and now I've needed to charge everyday.
-Stock 4.3 is laggier/slower than CM11. It tends to stutter for me.
-4.3 came with a new boot loader which no developers have exploited to install custom ROMs yet. This leaves you stuck with Verizon bloat. I hate all these damn apps. Going to try to safe root & see if I can't do some cleanup work.
Enough ranting. Just wanted to let you know you are not alone with this problem. Hopefully someone will figure it out. Missing my cyanogen mod already

It seems this problem has happened on other phones also running Cyanogenmod. I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2654822
It looks like the symptoms have all showed up at the same time approximately. (February 19th, 2014). Still looking for a better answer than going back to stock TW...
Edit: And another thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2659280 This one suggests its all AOSP roms. But it seems many people are unaffected... I don't understand why/how.

SO this is the current status that I know.
The problem happens for everyone with a 570/717 area codes + on verizon + running Cyanogenmod (possibly any AOSP) + while connected to LTE which started on Feb 20th (the day before KitKat came out offically).
Current Workarounds:
Switch to TouchWiz based Roms
Switch your radios to be CDMA only
Call verizon and switch your number to a different area code
I know the workarounds all suck but that all I know for now. Switching SIM cards won't work. If I anyone knows anything more please feel free to let me know.

I'm 717

I have still be unable to find a solution for this issue. I think I have to give up on CM and go back to a TW based. If I hear anything new I'll update the post but I don't have the time to be wasting on my phone at the moment. If someone finds or hears of a fix or if it magically goes away as it started, please post it.
And spread the word if there are any other ROMs that this is occurring on. It seems the pool of those affected is just too small.

I have already had to give up. Been running slows tw. I take it Verizon didn't get back to you?

It won't. It isn't software dependent. People who had already flashed builds prior to the 20th magically had issues starting on that date, so it isn't a problem with new builds, and it only happens to those in the 717-570 areas so it isn't a problem with AOSP code. It has to be a Verizon network issue, I just have no idea how.

I have run TW base roms almost 100% of the time. Prior to the 20th, I had flashed cm11 3 or 4 times to see if camera worked and was never on it more than a day. I also had issues where music in my sd card wasn't being found but it was fine on TW. Could it be the unified build causing an issue? I have no issues on Clean Rom 8, wicked sensations or old and slows stock based roms.
*Edit* I have installed Gummy and CM 11 with PA Mini Modular apps and the CM Gapps from Invisiblek, let it set up. I then shut it down, removed battery and sim and then put everything back in and still the same issue. 1st text message goes through, then the rest after that just fail. I tried regular message app, Hangouts and Verizon messaging. All same results. I go back to my CR8 backup and all is fine. It's bizarre because everything else seems to be working fine and is very fast & smooth.

It can't be an issue with the unified builds because going back and flashing an older build yields the same results. If you're willing to make the trade-off, you can set your phone to CDMA only. Texts will send, but you'll have no 3G or 4G.

I'm ok with using CR8, Beans or other stock roms. Can't see paying for LTE and not using it lol. Was curious to see how aosp has been coming along and sms was really the only issue I was having.

I was using masta's 10.2 build for over 6 months without even thinking about flashing new builds. The 20th is when the problem started for me. Upgrading to CM11 didn't change it. I just installed Hyperdrive and everything is back to normal.
I wish I could go back to CM but it just doesn't work in this area. And I don't know what I can do about it,

Basically. I've talked to a few friends who have worked for carriers and stuff, and everyone is stumped as to how something like this can even happen. Luckily I'm pretty much always in WiFi so I can survive on CDMA only.

[Q] No Data after Flashing Custom Rom

Kind of long, but it's just a difficult explanation, please read and try to help me. Thank you.
Okay, so I have a really weird problem, and I can't seem to fix it at all. I unlocked the bootloader and rooted my Sprint Motorola Photon Q, and had no problem with data loss, then I flashed PAC Man Rom, and everything went fine and it flashed but then I noticed that I had no data. No 3G, 4G, or 4G LTE, the phone lost network signal, but what was weird is that I could still receive texts and phone calls.
So, then I read that wiping the Dalvik and the regular cache would fix it, and it didn't. Then, I also tried flashing a different ROM which also didn't fix it. I RSD back to stock firmware and the problem was gone. I even tried rerooting and just installing a different ROM but, it still had the same issue, so I just went back to stock again.
Can someone please help me fix this? I've looked everywhere and I can't really find anything to help me out with this.
Thank you in advance.

Is your provider Sprint as well...?
I'm not sure, data works here on custom ROM's... which version are you flashing? Have you tried CM11?
There's some new device unification going on, the newest KK builds are going to be under the "moto_msm8960" device instead of xt897...

No I haven't tried CM11. Where do I find the IMG for it at?

I have Flash Wireless, which is Sprint prepaid. I have tried CM11 and still nothing. I don't understand what is going on....I'm getting real frustrated because I want to put a good custom ROM on my phone....

[Q] Nexus 5 Massive Network Issues - Common?

Hi all, I aren't a new user but have attached my Google account on this log in so....meh.
I understand that from update 4.4.3 and upwards many N5 users experience loss of their mobile network where switching to aeroplane mode then back again is the only way to rectify this? I was fine until I recently swapped to Virgin (UK) which uses the EE network, ever since this my calls go straight to voicemail unless I manually select the provider myself.
I was having a whale of a time with CM11 and only found out this issue after tearing my hair out for a couple of weeks but it is something I cannot have because I need my phone to be available *always* due to issues with my mum. So what I have now done is backdated my system to 4.4.2 which seems to have worked *but* I now get the system update notifications which I have dealt with but I now seem to have messed up the Play Store
Is there any one solution for this problem where I can have everything actually working as it should? 4.4.2 stock seems to run a lot better and seems a lot quicker in all honesty, quicker than even CM11 than is the gods honest truth.
Please help I dearly love this phone and need it to work for personal reasons and I aren't in a position to buy another right now (quit joib to look after mum etc) have I tugged at your heart strings enough yet?

Flash 4.4.4 but flash the 4.4.2 radio then?
On my carrier in Australia, I've never had a single drop issue, on all versions of the radio.

I live in Ohio and my connection is awesome with ATT. The only problem I have with network is my house and church. Lol Everywhere else like work is awesome. I think the network you choose is the major player in this. The phone itself is great on network.

Factory images. Then use fastboot to flash it while in bootloader. Link to tutorials are in the first link of my signature.

To 100 % prove it to myself I did the stock system updates, first to 4.4.3 then to 4.4.4 straight after I rang myself from a landline and it went immediately to voicemail. I then tried to install Cyanfox and that fails on the set up wizard as did liquid
linaro, both using the correct gapps and several versions.
So my next try is an older CM M3 iirc because I think doing the radio thing is a bit beyond my skills Lethargy

[q] need help with no service and no mobile network available

I have no service and no cellular network problem on my N5, running dark rom 7.1.2 aosp, with franco kernel ( never had issues before ), newest radio and bootloader. This started happening when i got my new sim card from my provider and i got 4g signal in my area for the first time. I tried manually selecting radio by going in the hidden menu by entering *#*#4636#*#* and i got lte and full bars signal after selecting band 8 ( 1800 hz ) but only for a minute then it went back to empty triangle. Tried selecting 3g only in preffered network, tried manually selecting provider, tried toggling airplane mode on/off a bunch of times nothing works. Any suggestion would be highly appreciated, i love my N5 very much and i would hate to throw it in a drawer somewhere. Thanks in advance

I guess because this one is for US frequencies it will not work whatever i try but i will give lineageos caf a chance.

I was able to get 3G only to work on my Nexus 5 by reflashing the EFS from 6.0.1; I'm trying right now to see if I can install PureNexus 6.0.1 then dirty flash to PureNexus 7.1.2 with any success. Also, I might just switch to T-Mobile, but I have to wait until later this week for that.

Hi,
LTE band 8 is not in 1800 MHz but first of all you can check your N5 model - US model is D820 and is not supported for LTE on 1800 MHz (band 3). For 1800 Mhz band you need D821 model.

To clarify that:
You had the problem with not recognizing the sim or having no service at all. And you solved this by flashing the sstock 6.0.1 backing up the efs, flashing to Pure Nexus 7.1.2 and restoring the efs immediatley after flashing the rom (+kernel+root+etc)?
This solves this mysterious no sim/no service bug, which many (?) N5 owners experience? If this is true, I'd be really happy

It didn't stick. After I lost it I was unable to get it back. I gave up and switched to T-Mobile, where it is no longer a problem. Apologies for not having more testing information. I was able to get solely 3G on multiple instances, but getting the elusive 4G was beyond me.

I've had this problem before in two nexus, one of them running latest stock and the other a customized ROM. I tried to flash a stock ROM image in both of them with no luck. I was pretty sure that the image I was flashing was the latest, so the radio & bootloader should be flashed to the latest versions. But it didn't worked.
Finally I found on a XDA thread where someone was posting only the latest bootloader & radio to flash. I did it with NRT (in Advanced Utilities) and it worked:

I can't remember or find the thread, so I post the images here:
- Bootloader-hammerhead-hhz20h.img
- Radio-hammerhead-m8974a-2.0.50.2.30.img
I think I had to flash them twice because the first time it wasn't right, but there were 4 months since then and still no failure

Thanks for your input. I'll check that when I have some time. This is really weird as it looks like a hardware problem but if you can fix it with this method it's clearly a software issue...
