No mobile data on any rom w/ safestrap mj7 - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

Ive been searching for 3 days and dont know what the problem is. Im on mj7 with safestrap 3.71. I can flash roms in slot 1 and they boot fine. Everything works except I cant get any mobile data. Ive tried flashing mkj module files but it doesnt make a difference. Thanks!!

Are you Verizon? Do you mean mk2? Or is that a build from another carrier?

And also quick question... You're saying that on your stock slot..running stock mk2 you DO have data? Just trying to rule out possible Sim card problem.

Sorry guys. Im on build mj7 on verizon. The stock slot works perfectly with data. Ive tried several tw roms and even flashed them in the stock slot and I get no mobile data. Ive tried stock kernel, kt kernel, flashing the mj7 modules, and reflashing the modem. I can only get mobile data with the factory flashed odin rom.

I did a twrp restore of m1a3 rom into slot 1 and did get mobile data. Im obviously missing some kind of file. I just dont know what it is. Here is the link of the ss restored rom that worked.

If I flash the same rom and modules I dont get data.

Just a side note since your using safestrap unless I've missed something new in the past week.. You can only run the stock kernel. And since your on mj7 you'd only be able to flash TW ROMs based off of mj7 or mk2 using your mj7 modules. I'm not 100% right now where you're problem lies.
Flashing to the stock slot is risky and unfortunately sometimes the only remedy is to Odin back to stock and start again making sure you're using the correct ROM , modules.

Correct. I am only flashing mj7 compatible roms and mj7 modules. Specifically the latest hyperdrive rom with stock kernel and mj7 modules downloaded from the ss thread. I only tried kt kernel as an all else failed attempt.

I figured. Seems like you have a handle on all that. You said earlier you were trying different kernels... Last I know trying to flash a different kernel wouldn't even do much because of the security on that phone... And I wouldn't think that'd mess you're data up but you never know. The data should work right out the box for you on hyperdrive.

I'm still at a loss. Can someone tell me what files are needed to provide mobile data access?

@maniac2k
I don't know.. Maybe look into the settings you get into from the dialer to check and see if anything in there is disabled as far as data/3g/4g ? Obviously you've checked your APN settings as well? If your stock didn't get data either I'd say your sim card is acting up. I know there's a thread on here for the dialer settings I've done it before myself just forget what they are. Until someone else has an idea might be worth a try

whatever build base you are, MJ7....you flash the MJ7 kernel module patch. If you Mk2 buildbase, you flash the Mk2 kernel patch..... Be sure the kernel patch is a valid download, You do this after installing rom and before first boot.
don't know what else to tell you

how to install hyperdrive rls11 on mk2?

OK so I'm brand new here and I've been reading for hours but haven't found what I'm looking for....I'm looking for a step by step of how to install the newest hyperdrive on my mk2 build. I've installed the newest safestrap and backed up my system. If someone could give me a step by step including everything as if I was a dumbass (although it's only half true ) I would be extremely grateful!!!
I just need to know if you can use the MJ7 modules with MK2. From what I read after SS is installed you install HD11 and the modules too. I'm pretty sure you need to install the modules or it wont work, except on hashcodes thread it says mk2 is coming soon, so either we can use MJ7 modules or have to wait.

if you are rooted and have safestrap 3.7 installed. On mk2 base you will need the mk2 kernel module and hyperdive 11 zip.....in safestrap you can install multiple zips so you selected the HD11 zip, follow by the mk2 module. The two have to be installed together with no reboot between
be good to go
a search in dev thread for mk2 module should turn up something
this is not the mk2 radio but a kernel module that safestrap needs for the base ROM to work especially the wifi portion

Just to confirm.
It states the compatibility for RLS11 is MDK Base phones or MJ7 Base using Safestrap. It should, however, work with an MK2 Base with the MK2 module, right?
Thanks.

[Q] Modules for safestrap?

Hi guys,
If I already have a mk2 verizon s4, would I still need to flash the mk2 modules after flashing a mk2 base rom (hyperdrive rls 14)? I have gotten both answers- Yes, flash and No, don't flash- and I am not sure which one is actually correct.

I'm also a Safestrap user and I ALWAYS flash the MK2 kernel modules. I'm pretty sure you have to, but I'm not positive. Like I said I always flash the modules and I haven't had any problems .

if you are running safestrap, you have to flash the kernel modules for your specific build base.

That would only be the case if you took the highly risky case of flashing over the stock ROM using Safestrap. If you flash to a non-stock slot, you must always flash the relevant kernel modules.

[Q] Stuck at Booting screen (Safestrap) ROM

Hi, Iv been having trouble installing the Hyperdrive ROM with safestrap. I installed HP 14 with SS 3.71 with the modules for my divice (MK2). It says it installed successfully but it just stays at the boot screen. Any ideads? My stock ROM is deleted..
Thanks!

Hey again! So this is a new scenario now from last time or same issue? If you made a backup of your stock before you flashed to it, maybe you can restore but not a gaurentee.
You never were able to get Odin to see your phone?

No. Same issue. I just never got a fix. Odin finally saw it and i tried to flash the "No-wipe" one like you (I think) said to use, but it said failed. I probably used the wrong option, im not familiar with odin or how to use it.

Put phone into download mode.
Put the unzipped file into PDA or AP depending on Odin version.
Make sure only Auto Reboot and F Reset Time are checked.
Onces that's all set and Odin shows your phone connected. Hit start.

No you can go back and forth between mk2 and mj7 those are the only two. You cannot go down past mj7.
I bet if you did this you'd be good. There's a possibility you may need the Pit file but I think this file alone should get you back to normal. You really have nothing to lose at this point.

Well I don't think anything is going to install or restore correctly for you since your stock slot is screwed up.
You can Odin the mj7.
Then re root
Install SafeStrap again
Reflash Hyperdrive but this time you want the mj7 modules since that is what your stock is going to be. Do you follow me?
Basically you just want to bring your phone back to life first. Before you worry about anything else.
Getting mj7 modules is very easy.
And I'd suggest next time to just install hyperdrive on a ROM slot not your stock slot. If at that point you need help the folks in the SafeStrap thread would definitely help you

That thread has SafeStrap Roms for you.
First backup your stock slot
Then create a ROM slot and then activate it.
Then flash whatever ROM you want on that slot.. and flash modules after the ROM flashes .
Always flash modules.

Well I know it's not this hard lol don't take that the wrong way, probably something your doing. I'd say try another ROM. Unfortunately your not going to get away from tw since your on SafeStrap. If you are trying all this on a ROM slot just try a different one.
Could be any number of things going on here.
Bad download
Not a SS version ROM
Choosing Custom Kernel in Aroma
Plus a couple other things I could be missing since its late lol
Just a reminder :
You can only flash
Touchwiz 4.3 SafeStrap Roms
+ you can only have the stock kernel , no matter if it's an option in a ROM Aroma Setup. Sometimes those Aromas are also made for people like me with MDK S4 with custom recovery.
If you truly want this eclipse ROM you're going to have to find that thread somewhere or on Nitro's site and tell them exactly what steps you took to get you here with as much detail as possible.

And your doing all this on a ROM slot. .... not the stock slot???
Once you create a ROM slot you must activate it... Not just go back and start wiping and installing..
If you truly have your stock slot intact and all this is on a ROM slot then you shouldn't have any problems but my guess is maybe that's what happening.. Forgetting to actually activate the slot.

OK
That's good news then.
Are you downloading these files right to your phone or a computer then transferring to you phone?
I'd always download using the PC.. check the md5 of the download.
Transfer to SD card then check md5 once more to make sure your good.
Then hop in SafeStrap Recovery
- wipe data/factory reset
-wipe vache /Dalvic
* do that a couple times
-flash ROM zip
- don't leave SafeStrap yet
- flash modules
-clear cache/Dalvic once more
I've never had a problem doing it this way and I used to run hyperdrive.

Soft Brick perhaps?

Backstory:
So last night my phone turned off by itself and wouldn't turn back on. My first thought it something with the ROM. So I boot to recovery and start a backup before I try to wipe/format etc. Long story short, it ended up being the battery just ate sh*t. So I got a new battery from Verizon, after I tried to ODIN back to stock though...
Problem:
I was on Hyperdrive RLS15, and I tried to Odin open1your1eyes MDK NoWipe. But my phone is just hanging on the Verizon screen. (it has been over half hr) My phone is MDK base (no safestrap), is that the right thing to flash? Is there anything else I have to do?
Thanks in advance, and forgive my naiveness. :silly:

Thanks, yes that worked. :good::good:
The name scared me (MKD) until I realized it was just a typo.
EDIT: A mod should really fix that. It's been like that since September even though a MKD never existed.

Also I include a link to versions of MDK (full-wipe) and MJ7 (full-wipe) I uploaded (that is I didn't mirror them) in the MK2 Odin tar thread.
I see you were successful but ill include my link anyway. Maybe this will help others who read this.

So I'm on MDK now with HD RLS15, is there any benefit flashing up to MJ7 or MK2? Do they all require Odin or is there recovery flashables?
Thanks

NO!
Don't do it. A part of me dies everytime i hear someone intentionally upgraded their S4 from MDK to a newer locked down version.

You're going to want to keep your bootloader MDK. With MDK you an flash any ROM you want, AOSP , AOKP , CM , TW..... 4.3...4.4 you name it.
If you updated to MK2 base you'd take away your options. You'd only be able to flash TW ROMs that are based on whatever build your phone is ...MK2 is 4.3 . And your only recovery would be SafeStrap. Not TWRP or CWM
How did end up with HD15 ? Flashed in recovery right? You can find any number of ROMs on these forums that are based off of MK2 or MJ7 and just flash them in recovery.

Gotcha. Yes recovery. HD says it's MK2 based, but my phone build still says MDK in the About screen. That's why I was wondering. Come to think of it though, doesn't that just display the Modem version (which is recovery flashable), correct?

Yes. MDK is your bootloader/Build and MK2 would be your baseband/modem.
Grab this app and it will show you everything https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo
And Surge has a thread on here of all our modems which are flashable through recovery although your probably good to stick with MK2 for now.

[Q] S4 Wifi won't turn on after custom ROM

So I flashed the FoxHound ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2596654) found there today on my SCH-i545 Verizon Galaxy S4. I flashed it with SafeStrap, and everything works beautifully except for my WI-fi. It absolutely won't turn on no matter what I do. I heard something about a wpa config file, I tried renaming it and rebooting so a new one gets made. There's a Wi-Fi fixing option in the FoxHound settings, but all it does it download files that I have no clue what to do with. I'm very new to this stuff. How do I fix it?
You have to flash the safestrap modules that match your boot loader after you flash the ROM and before you boot. Wi-Fi won't work without them.
If you don't understand go back to the safestrap thread and read the entire OP.

I am having the same problem with hyperdrive. Wifi wasnt working on the stock rom either. This is my first time trying custom roms. Could you please give me more info on how to flash the safestrap modules? Nothing was mentioned about it in the thread.

It explains this in the SafeStrap thread.

Like Josh said, you just flash the kernel modules after you flash the ROM before you leave recovery. Match up your modules to whatever your build is , MJ7, MK2 etc...

When flashing, it said no MD5 found. What does that mean, and what should I do?

Recoveries can check the md5's of whatever files your flashing. It's just a way to see if the file is still in tact and what it's supposed to be... If your on SafeStrap I think there's an option in there to turn off md5 verification under advanced maybe. I check md5's prior to flashing either on my PC or an app on the phone. I don't bother while in recovery. That's just me though
