ok guys, here I am once again I have found out that the problem is the update VPUFNAE or the NAE like we call it doesn't change
our Baseband version. if you go to SETTINGS and About device you will notice that the baseband its still MK2 if you previously had
the MK2. but if you go down a little bit you will find out that the build Number its the new NAE., if you have this problem, this is the reason why the
wifi doesn't turn on. in order they have to match, am writing this in simple words. so I came out with the same problem wifi wont work after updating
to the new kitkat version 4.4 also known as NAE this might be because I had rooted my phone.
I have had previously explained how to fix this on the MK2 version when we had the MJA. and the MK2 update came out.you can check it out on this
link so you have an idea what we talked http://forums.androidcentral.com/sp...rint-s4-mk2-ota-update-today-killed-wifi.html
so but how we fix the NAE wifi problem ? well I will explain it to you below it is really simple.
I am not an expert but I have the ability to figure things out. and this helps me a lot. and saves me a lot.
NOTICE! this method wont make you lose any data, like pictures apps etc.
the steps are easy here we go....
First- you will need odin3-v1.85 note! ( you might already have it when you downloaded it to root your phone )
if you don't have it just Google it and type odin3 v1.85 click on the Odin 1.85 - XDA-Developers link
Second- get the firmware xda-developers - View Single Post - [FIRMWARE][ODIN] All Sprint Firmwares {2/13/14}
we will need NAE MODEM FIRMWARE so download the one that says NAE mirror 1.
once downloaded unzip it on your desktop or anywhere as long as you know where it is.
Third step- open odin3-v.185 run it as administrator (you can see it by doing a right click )
Fourth step- get your phone onto download mode( by powering off then hold vol down and power) hit continue on your phone!
then plug your phone to your computer and Odin will detect the phone. (make sure you have the Samsung USB Driver for Mobile Phones 1.5.27.0)if you
don't have it this might be a reason why wont work.
Fifth step- check Odin once the phone is detected, click on PDA and find NAE-modemonly file where you unzipped and select it. make sure auto reboot is
checked on odin nothing else some Odin versions has this already checked so you cant mess with it. but some don't.
Sixth step- click start and let it work. after its done it will reboot.
and now you will have your phone working as it used to. I got this method to work on my sprint Galaxy S4
hope this post will help understand.
