Help: CM11+MDK Modem->Update to MK2->Can't update ROM? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

EDIT: Please ignore - it's an issue w/ the latest CM11 build. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50349901&postcount=1789
I need some guidance - I'm one of the early S4 owners that's LOKI'd w/ TWRP recovery. I've been running the MDK modem since I got it but decided a couple days ago to update it to take advantage of the faster LTE (Band 4?) if/when it's available. I flashed the most recent I545VRUEMK2 radio with no problem and have been running if for a few days. ( Modem only link from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2487298 )
I'm on the CM11 Nightly ROM and this morning tried to update the the most recent, the first attempt at flashing a ROM since updating the modem. After flashing I can't boot and instead get the Verizon error screen saying I have unauthorized software and to bring the phone to a VZW store.
I can still boot to recovery, and after reflashing the nightly I had been running previously was able to boot back up, but I was under the impression LOKI'd phones can use any of the modems and continue flashing ROMs.
What's going on here? Do I need to go back to MDK?
Thanks for any help!
EDIT: Just had a thought - would the recovery version have anything to do with this? I know that the CM threads say that TWRP has compatibility issues and to use CWM, but I've never had an issue using TWRP when I was running the MDK modem. Does CWM handle post flash cleanup somehow to force ROM compatibility?

Wifi Error - fixed -- any explanation?

Mods, I'd have liked to have posted this as a reply to Andybones' thread, but I'm under 10 posts, so please move as needed.
So, I got my Rezound from eBay and figured I'd root it and update it.
Went through the HTC Unlock Bootloader process.
Setup Perm Root
Installed Amon Ra Recovery 3.1.3
Allowed OTA to take place to get to 2.01.605.11.
Went into Amon Ra and had it install superuser and su.
Figured it was an eBay phone and should be wiped clean, so from bootloader did a Factory Reset
After it rebooted a few times, phone came up and "Wifi Error". Everything else working perfectly- 3g, 4g, voice, bluetooth... just no WiFi. Unable to stop or start it in settings GUI.
Hunted online for "WiFi Error" and Rezound and found a few posts asking about clearing cache and dalvik; another few were referencing Kernel and/or module installs.
Cleared cache and dalvik to no avail.
Searched for 2.01.605.11 Kernel and found Andybones post. Installed the Kernel and Wifi was working with everything else again.
So the question-- now that it is fixed and working-- what the heck happened to have broken my WiFi for that duration? Was it when I did the Factory Reset that I somehow screwed up my Wifi Kernel Module? If so, how? Did Factory Reset install some older module or Kernel? Or, was there something broken in my OTA? I saw mention of one other person whose WiFi was broken after OTA to 2.01.605.11-- he also resolved by using the Andybones post to install the Kernel.
Unfortunately, after seeing that the WiFi wasn't working, I didn't think to check what Settings showed for my Kernel, or to try checking mass storage for file dates or versions-- I know those could probably have helped in ascertaining what occurred.
Anybody else experience WiFi broken after OTA?
Thanks in advance!
After I got the OTA I restored my Ineffabilis GB nand and didn't have working wifi even though I flashed the original 1.x stock kernel with it. I didn't get it working until I flashed the dsb kernel, which I had been running when I made my nand. I suspect that is because installing that kernel is more than just flashing the boot.img, there's an install using other folders that happens before the boot.img flash so I guess it is altering something else.
(I didn't try flashing the modules for the new kernel since I wasn't trying to use the new kernel, at that point I was wondering why I couldn't get wifi with the same kernels others were getting it on the same ROM.)
However, even when I did a clean flash of Ineffabilis I had the same problem of not having wifi even with the stock rooted kernel posted with that ROM. I would think at that point I would not have had any traces of the dsb kernel but that was the only thing that got me wifi so I have to assume that had something to do with it.
I would think you would have had wifi working on stock OTA since you should have had the 2.x kernel and everything else.
So it would seem that both of us had broken wifi in instances when it would seem we should have had working wifi, albeit for possible different reasons. I too would like to know why. I like fixes but I prefer to know why they work and what is being fixed.
Are you willing to factory reset again? I'm thinking of going back to stock OTA again and starting over with my ROM and seeing about switching kernels. One of my concerns in my situation is am I going to be able to switch from the dsb kernel if that's the only one that got my wifi working now? Others had wifi working with other 1.x kernel using the same ROM so I know the others work, just not on my phone atm.

dsb's kernel installs wifi modules, so since u made the nand using that kernel, that is why u got an error, until u added original stock 1x kernel wifi modules ud get an error.. or flash dsb's kernel like u did.
also when u did a fresh install of ineffibiliss is does install wifi kernel modules, but no a kernel. so you would of still had dsb's kernel even after doing a full fresh instal of inefibiliss. flashing the stock 1x kernel would fix wifi as it has the stock 1x wifi modules.
this is why when people updated to the OTA, and had the new kernel and then did a nand, or a fresh install of ineffibiliss they had wifi error, they needed the new OTA wifi modules.

But the only way I could get wifi back was flashing dsb. That's why I'm wondering about what that extra stuff is in the dsb package. After going stock I flashed the original stock rooted kernel that was posted with the ROM before and after flashing Ineffabilis again and still no wifi. But others who did those same steps did have wifi. This makes me concerned about being able to switch from dsb. I want to go back to stock anyway and start fresh since my status bar is crashing and uninstalling the apps I installed right before that started hasn't fixed it. So I'll experiment some more.
Trust me, I get what you're saying and it makes sense, unfortunately that hasn't been the case which is what all my previous posts were about.
Also the OP was completely stock and didn't have wifi and that doesn't fit the equation either.

i had this problem a few times...the last two times i think it was because i had wifi tether on then stupidly i turned on verizon tether app and so wifi and verizon mobile hotspot/wifi tether stopped working and kept giving an error message...i had to flash a version of incredikernel i had laying on my card and everything worked fine..kind of wierd but whatever lol and once i believed it just happened out of nowhere so i just reflashed everything..that time wiping and flashing the rom all over again worked but all other times i needed to flash a kernel. i believe i was running clean rom all those times and once happened on ICS i think..running the latest clean rom 1.6.5 and havent had those issues yet( knock on wood)

That's what I'd have thought, too. I am/was completely stock and my update was OTA. Didn't touch any 3rd party kernels or ROMs. I want to make sure phone works as intended before considering messing with other ROMs/Kernels.
EDIT: Found this older thread which is very similar -- mods can probably close mine or migrate the posts over to the older one since my query resembles what SquireSCA experienced.

Yeah, tempted to give it a shot after doing an Amon Ra backup to see if it was the factory reset that did me in. I can head back to the Andybones kernel thread to recover again if needed. Probably not going to test it right away though. Still settling in with the phone.
One variable that I didn't consider-- when I did my OTA-- I did not re-lock the bootloader prior. Any possibility of correlation?
I would say that's very possible. I didn't relock the first time so I redid the update using con247's Stock OTA ROM with his update file.
I have a nand of my phone from right after I did my OTA without relocking. When I get around to doing my fresh installs I will restore that and check it to see if I have the same issue. I'll probably do it when I get back home later tonight. I'll post back afterwards to let you know.
So I just restored my nand from when I went back to stock recovery, ROM and kernel (all 1.x) and then accepted OTA. wifi was broken until I flashed the new 2.x stock kernel. That was from when I got the OTA without relocking the phone. I meant to check what the kernel said before I flashed the 2.x stock one but forgot. Argh... now I want to go back to Ineff and do this again to check it.
EDIT: Well, I went back to my stock OTA nand again and the kernel shows as dsb. So I can't replicate what I did earlier since I had flashed the stock kernel before getting the OTA and I guess the nand doesn't back up/restore the kernel.
I don't know what condition wifi was in when I made the nand since I didn't know to check and I just made that as a safety copy and went back to Ineffabilis right away.
I did flash the stock 2.x kernel to get wifi working on stock OTA, then restored my Ineffabilis nand and again, the only way to get my wifi back was to flash the dsb kernel. The stock rooted kernel that came with Ineffabilis didn't do it. Gonna go post on the dsb forum and see what they say. Also, tomorrow I'm going to run the RUU and factory reset and try to get this thing totally clean and see if I can use a different kernel than dsb. Ineff was just updated to 2.x so perhaps flashing the new ROM will break the chains.

Soooo... I was reading some of the ICS threads and getting really curious about installing. Saw a post by someone mentioning they're on baseband 0.95.00.1118r. Went to check mine, and I'm on 0.95.00.1017_2r . Checked the Verizon site and OTA 2.01.605.11 provides 0.95.00.1118r . Did some more digging to figure out how I got left behind using the official OTA and came upon this post:
Baseband does not update without a re-lock first.
EDIT: found plan of attack via http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1467329 and will give it a shot this evening.

Thanks!
Off-topic: Any alternatives to using Filefactory or Dev-host to download the RUU? Has anyone done a sniff during the OTAs to see what URL is used to download the RUU? Does VZW restrict what IPs/MACs can download the updates? Or do they use a proprietary protocol? Or are the updates strictly via their CDMA/LTE, without WiFi?
Mission accomplished-- I now have radio 0.95.00.1118r on my 2.01.605.11.

[Q] How can I flash Cyaogenmod without having those crazy radio issues?

I'm sure people were getting pretty tired of hearing about the radio issues when people flashed cyanogenmod (ie, LTE worked, but no SMS, MMS, or voice calls, odin didn't fix, the only solution was to factory restore from WITHIN a TW ROM). After waiting a while for things to calm down, I'm ready to try to install Cyanogenmod again but I am naturally hesitant.
Has this issued resolved itself? I'm running rooted and unlocked MC3 with CWM installed. I heard somewhere that flashing the MJ9 radio BEFORE Cyanogenmod 10.2 / 11 fixed the problem?
I would really appreciate any input or personal experience here!
As far as I know, the issue has not resolved itself. I tried flashing the newest CM 11 a couple of days ago (I think it was the nightly build on the 22nd), and I still had the funky radio issues. However, I tried this, and it fixed all the radio issues with CM 11 (and any other Android 4.4 ROMS - I'm running Slim ROM at the moment)... Here is my post from another thread.
Hey all, I got it working (the data/network connection that is), with a little effort. Here is what I did in sequence...
1) Reflash the ORIGINAL VRALJB image via ODIN. I used the one found here. You want to make sure you get the one that replaces EVERYTHING, i.e., NOT the alternative restore.
2) I set up my phone and used it normally for about four hours. (This may or may not be necessary, I'm not entirely sure. I also rebooted the phone about five times during that time frame.)
3) I unlocked and rooted the phone via the method outlined here. After that was done, I installed CWM 6.0.4.3 via TWRP (which the unlocking process installs).
4) I then installed CM 11 and the respective Google apps. (I first did a backup, then a factory reset, then cache wipe, then dalvik wipe. The next thing I did was install CM 11, then Gapps.)
5) Restart the phone and success!
Click to expand...

The reason why I found out that this method would work, is that I tried installing CM 11 on my dad's phone. He has had a TW ROM (Beans build to be exact) since the phone came out. And he has been running the stock VRALJB radio. With that said, I figured I would try flashing the stock ODIN files to restore my phone back to the VRALJB. (I think I was running the MJ9 prior to this) That worked, and the SlimROM has been working perfectly ever since!
[Also, if you wanted to check out SlimROM, you can find a link to it here.]
Still looking for some more feedback from users! Anyone successfully flashed CM 10.2 / CM 11 from MC3 without problems / fixed the problems?

[Q] No Connectivity on MJ9 4.4 ROMS

I Odin'd the MJ9 radio some time ago and have been able to flash 4.3 custom ROMS based on that radio with no issues at all. The problem comes when I try ANY 4.4 ROM. The ROM and Gapps flash and install with no issue. However, I don't have data or voice connectivity. I'll go into APN settings and it's blank. I've tried manually entering the values, but the changes won't stick. As a point of reference, I'm running the MJ9 radio with TWRP 2.6.3.0 as my recovery.
Ideas?
Use philz or cwm for flashing the 4.4 roms

Where are you getting the 4.4 roms? Just make sure you are flashing ones for our device i605..
Only other suggestion I can make is making sure mobile network is toggled on..
You shouldn't loose data if you are flashing the proper rom
ROMs are all coming from this very forum. I never occurred to me to check the mobile network, because it's never been an issue with any of the other ROMs I've used.

Upgrading to CM12 Lollipop
Hi, I'm trying to upgrade to Lollipop from this ROM and at first while flashing the CM12 zip i encountered the error "This zip is intended for gee, geeb" etc. So, I tweaked the updater-script and removed the assert and ran the script which installed the ROM but I'm unable to install the Google Apps. I tried with all gapps packages (minimal, micro, full), but none of them works. Can you please help me out?
Does this have anything to do with build.prop? Even though I flashed the fix to show as ATT e970, the CM12 updater-script identified this device as "geehrc4g"??Also, build.prop has some lines like
ro.com.google.cliendidbase.am=android-kt-kr
ro.com.google.cliendidbase.am=android-kt-kr
Do you know where can I find the exact build.prop for e970 (Kitkat)?

Hi, just wondering how everything functions on the e971 with this rom? Flashing roms is new to me and am so bummed to finally receive word from Rogers there will be no official update for this device which is in my opinion unacceptable buying a flagship device and getting only 1 update for it 6 months later when the phone manufacturer has updated it, I'm done with them, anyways some help would be appreciated as I need my phone to function properly, I am on official JB 4.1.2 from Rogers, I have unlocked the device to be used with any carrier, now I am planning on rooting using the zv9-zvb universal root method, i was then planning on unlocking bootloader using freegee and then using freegee to install cwm phils touch and then gonna install this rom, anyways are those the propper steps and if I so will all functions of my e971 work as they should with this rom?
Also if i need to go back will it be as easy as downloading paulicats rogers 4.1.2 zip and using cwm to install it and revert back? Any help would be greatly appreciated and if your ever in my neck a the woods I'll buy ya a beer. Thanks.
Working fine for me
This is my first android device so I was attempting this for the first time, I was on Stock JB. First I Rooted the phone(universal root kit), unlocked its boot loader(app from playstore), was taken to cwm, tried to flash the ROM it didn't work a status 7 error occurred, then I flashed philz recovery, flashed the ROM again and its working fine.
I am new to this android world so this may sound noob but is there a way to backup my apps only so that I don't have to re install them every time I flash a new ROM. (Will be trying a lot of roms from now).

I tried it by installing zip via cwm recovery but it says error in zip.
Flawless Installation
I just installed this ROM on my LG Optimus G E971 and the entire installation was simple and flawless. Prior to this ROM, I had [ROM][5.1.1] [GEEB] [Mako base] Unofficial CM-12.1 which is a great ROM too, however, I wanted to try something that was based on stock. I have the latest version of CWM for LG Optimus G E971.
This is how I installed the following ROM:
1. Downloaded the ROM onto my phone
2. Booted into CWM recovery
3. Wiped data/factory reset
4. Wiped cache Partition
5. Installed ROM
6. Rebooted
Once I have used this ROM as my daily driver for a while, I will get back and share my opinion and thoughts about it.
I stumbled on to this rom and I must say it is very good. There are only two issues I am having that hopefully someone can help me out with. The first issue is an annoying data network setting prompt that happens when I boot up which tells me that I will incur additional data charges. There is a setting under mobile networks that is checked called "ask when data connected" Whenever I try to uncheck it it reverts back to being checked. The second is under access point names. There are two other apn there that I cannot delete for some reason. Does anyone have any ideas how I can resolve these issues?

[Q] Data connectivity issues after attempting to flash custom ROM

I've been rooting my phones since getting my first HTC Incredible, so while I am certainly not an expert, I have a bit of experience researching rooting methods and roms and flashing and recoveries before getting my hands dirty. Now I'm in over my head.
I've had my G3 rooted since December, but kept it on the stock Kitkat rom until yesterday. I flashed TWRP and then HolyAngel's Skydragon G3, going with the Lollipop version along with the Skydragon kernel.
Booted up just fine, but my data kept dropping out. The lock screen message would constantly switch from "Verizon Wireless" to "Service disabled" every few seconds. Connecting to WiFi works just fine.
I've tried reflashing Skydragon, both Lollipop and Kit Kat versions, Skydragon kernel and stock kernel. I've tried flashing the nandroid backup I made before flashing Skydragon the first time. Each time the data connectivity issue has persisted. Calls and texts are out of the question and as a nice added piece of frustration, I can't log into my Google account now because I have 2-step verification turned on and I can't receive texts.
What did I do and how do I fix it? Help please!

Try flashing the 23b modem again: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934538781
I think you can only use the 23B modem for SD or Jasmine LP - anything else causes what you have going on. Also check your network setting and set it to LTE if it is set to global. Good luck.
Thank you! So to clarify, if I reflash the 23B modem zip file I'll need to be on either the Skydragon or Jasmine roms for my data to be restored?
I ask because I'm back on my (rooted, stock) nandroid backup, so if that's the case I need to reflash Skydragon first correct? Would It work with the kitkat version of SD?
Thanks again!

Yup, the 23B modem is for stock based Jasmine/SD lollipop ROMs, and the 10b/11c/12b modems are for KK (and AOSP) ROMs. So to clarify: if you're on SD KK right now then 12b is the most current modem you should use(ends in...7834.1) & if you're on, or plan on going to be on Jasmine/SD lollipop builds you need the 23B modem and can't use any older ones.
So just remember to flash the 23B modem when you use Lollipop stock based ROMs for now, and flash the 12b(or later) for KK based (or AOSP) ROMs. I've forgotten a few times myself going from AOSP where I use the 12b modem and have seen the effects of having the wrong modem installed on SD LP. It constantly drops and switches around between 4g and 1x or just no service.
*All the modems are available in post #4 of the Jasmine thread :good:
Okay, that makes sense. Thank you so much for the explanation. I will try this tonight!
