Can't find ANY wifi networks anymore? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Its been about 2 weeks now and I am still having this problem. One day while I was a school I felt my phone really hot in my pocket. and it was off. When I truened it back on the battery was only 20% and then I could not find any wifi networks. It used to work for about 30 seconds when I restarted the phone, but now it does not even do that. Any help?! This is pretty bad.

I am rooted, but I don't think that I can flash a custom rom because my phone is flashed to cricket and they said don't do system updates/factory resets.

A modem is what controls your phones communication with the internet and voice and data... Pretty important. Go to Settings/About Phone and flash the one that matches the last four characters in your Baseband (like GB27 for example)-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1764210

Flashing a custom ROM or doing a factory reset won't mess with your cricket flash, although you will have to follow directions in this thread to get back working MMS and 3g (if you flash an AOSP or CM-based ROM... 3g should work out of the box on stock-based).

Before you do anything, though, I would read read and READ some more. Not to sound rude, but you don't wanna dig yourself into a bigger hole just because you don't know what you're doing. And I'd be glad to help if you need it [emoji2]

Replacement GNex loosing cell service with screen off

On Thursday, I dropped and broke my original phone. Luckily, I had a full CWM backup (CM9) created that morning. I pulled the entire /sdcard partition off the phone and onto a laptop.
When my replacement showed up yesterday from Asurion, I rooted it using the GNex tool, copied all the data back onto the new phone, then flashed the backup.'
Everything works great, almost seems a bit faster even. But now I am dropping calls and loosing service all the time. The cell radio seems to be turning off with the screen after a while, but will also seem to turn off randomly.
I just updated to the latest CM9 build attempting to fix the problem, but it didn't seem to help.

I'm on verizon. My first 2 GNs dropped calls a lot (not like a screen off issue), but losing 4g like every 10 minutes. My 3rd nexus holds all signals steady, so you may try to ask for another replacement again.

Your flashing a radio file not a ROM, which is non dependent of the ROM you are running. You can find the official IMM76I radio file here http://rootzwiki.com/topic/12866-vzwfastboot-radiosbootloadersrecoveries-updated-may-1-2012/ which is flashable using clockwork recovery.

I'm having trouble with getting data to work with the ROM when I flash. Am I missing something?

Probably not... sounds like a bad download... redownload to pc and do a full wipe and reflash. Now hopefully you haven't switched prl's and you have updated to either MA6 or MB1 because they are basically the same and this rom will run on both... let me know how it gows...:good:

I re-downloaded and flashed and it finally started working the thing i noticed is that the 4g is not working it wont connect but when i put only CDMA on 3g works fine but once put on lte settings no data at all and i am in a good 4g area could it be a bad download still?
Nice to see a ROM discussion thread hosted by the dev...good work V!

Looks very nice and smooth. I will be flashing this once I get my phone back from Samsung. Plus I want to check out a ROM made from somebody in the same state :good:
Is it possuble or would you mind to pull the dialer and status bar tweaks out into flashable.. I would like to add them to the stock deodex setup I'm currently running.

Yes you can do that. I would just update to MB1 modem though (MA6 and MB1 are basically the same but you will still get the update notification on some roms if you don't do the MB1 modem update)...
Can someone on v2 try going into settings/network where you change lte on and off and see if you get fc. It says com.android.phone has stopped working. It worked on v1 and I did a clean install from v1 to v2. Thanks
Running a Rom by someone smarter than eye.
I changed mine to cdma/lte no problems at all.

Awesome looking. Gonna test this bad ass ROM. I'll report back if i get any issues.
Just flashed today and so far so good. Only thing I have noticed is that it reboot twice in like the first hour but nothing since then. Also wish I could find how to change the lock screen in the atom launcher settings.
This Rom is straight up solid.

Yeah I checked but this device is weird as you know and I wanted a bit of assistance not wise ass remarks. I'm new on this part of xda and with a flashed phone I know some roms don't work correctly. That's why I asked not to be lazy. Check my stats I do a lot of support for the one xl. And one thing I wouldn't do was post a link to a totally different device, someone with less common sense could brick with wrong info.

My bad, I read that as G2, I apologize. I was confused as to why this was posted here. If you want a ROM that works correctly go with TouchWiz. AOSP ROMs are pretty buggy on this device, especially KitKat.
What do I need to do to go from stock rooted this is a confusing device and I also still have stock recovery
Gb27 by the way

Get Mobile Odin, flash this kernel (.tar format)-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2244781 in Mobile Odin and that will give you a custom recovery
Would u recommend wiping dalvik and cache? Or is it safe to just reboot into the stock rom?

If all you flash it the kernel, its safe to reboot without wiping anything. However, I would follow any and all directions given by the OP of any ROM or kernel you flash to the letter. Otherwise, you're asking for issues. This is a confusing device, and there are so many little nuances that need to be done just right to avoid problems.
If you take nothing else away from this post, remember this website www.rwilco12.com, it will save your device if you run into issues or just need anything for the device. Every ROM, kernel and modem leaked and/or released for this device by Samsung is on there and will return you to stock in a heartbeat.:good:

IMEI is 0 -- ODIN restore?

Sadly, it seems my IMEI has been set to zero.
I can still make calls and text, but my data is on Edge network only.
I've been doing some searching and reading (by some I mean a lot) and I guess I'm getting a little confused in it all.
Would using ODIN to reset my phone to stock fix the IMEI?
I have the IMEI on a sticker on the phone, could TMobile reset the IMEI for me?
Thanks in advance.
Swap it if you have insurance. If not search xda for fix.
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
Yes Odin will fix the Issue. Please choose correct firmware to flash via Odin.
Thanks for the response.
Trying to confirm I get the RIGHT rom for my device.
Went to sammobile.com/firmwares/
Looking at all the options for SGH-T999, do I have to made basebands to what I have now (T999UVDLJA) which is dated Oct 2012, or is that something that gets "updated" if I apply the latest rom (March 2014)?
Depends on what you had before all these problems. You must choose that same version otherwise you may hard brick the phone.
*sigh*
And I suppose there's no way to know that? I don't have a back up or anything...
Is there anyway to determine?
Thanks for your help and direction thus far!
Oh Sure. There are other ways to determine. If possible post a photo of the download screen. Otherwise type out exactly what you see when the phone is in download mode.

I'm assuming that is the info you were looking for?
Yes that's what I needed. I suggest please use UVDMD5 Version of Root66 to flash via Odin.
Excellent.
So follow directions and get files from here?: http://www.androidayos.com/2013/05/...y-bean-without-binary-flash-counter-increase/
Well. Yes. I'd direct you to the Thread here under Android Development.
Yeap. The link I posted actually takes you back to the link you provided.
Both bookmarked.
I hope to do this tonight.
If I understand this correctly, this should flash my phone back to stock with my valid IMEI
Using this Route66 I will have root on the phone and should then be able to do a CM install if I choose?
Yes and yes.
If that is your desire, then while you are in Odin, flash a custom Recovery such as TWRP or CWM as well.

... I will have to research on how to do that too then.
First concern is getting the IMEI back so that I can actually USE the phone with data -- regardless if it's CM or stock OS.
As the UVDMD5 will have correct modem, hopefully that will restore IMEI. Otherwise we may have to see what happens.
hmmm sort of seems to have worked... stuck at the "SAMSUNG" screen though.
Reading other links says I should have cleared cache before doing?
Hmmm cleared cache.
Did factory reset.
Still stuck at pulsating "SAMSUNG" logo...
Ok got into phone... ugh is stock ROM just painful. Who designs these things?!?!
Sadly, IMEI is still set at 0
this doesn't seem to have worked

Can't TMobile just restore the IMEI if I take it to one of their stores?

Periodically Dropping Signal // AOKP-based 4.4.4 ROM

So far I've read these suggestions:

Any thoughts?
I am currently on Task's Latest (6-28) ROM, but have been experiencing this on previous ones (4.4.3 + 4.4.2).

Task's latest is 7-9 I believe.
That being said, Is your phone unlocked?
Also, does your baseband match your bootloaders?

No. This started happening maybe about a month or two ago. I unlocked it over a year ago. I have a feeling it was when i switched to a 4.4 rom. Unfortunately i didn't notice right away so i can't pinpoint the cause

You can try flashing another modem. If that doesn't work, might wanna try flashing back to stock, test it and work your way back up if all is well.

Flashing the modem again did nothing to fix.
One question before I flash the stock ROM, will I need to do anything besides flashing? I'm not sure how it goes, since it is an older version (4.0.3 I believe?).
I know I need to do it in Odin, but nothing else besides that. Flashing an AOSP ROM after that won't be a problem?
Sorry for the questions, just wanna make sure before trying this out.
