I'm guessing the WiFi is a baseband thing?

There's a WiFi fix flashable via Odin on XDA - I wonder if that'll help?

Had the same thing!

Did a factory wipe without the external card and it booted with wifi, but later on the phone did not want to reboot :(

Flashing the stock touchwiz rom (latest). Crossing my fingers....

If this works a will stay far away from twrp.

CWM 6.0.3.2 (611) does work fine but i heard it does NOT work with android 4.3....

FYI. It ain't TWRP.

GenShard - you seem to have become chief tester. Keep us posted with how you get on. :)

FYI - I understand all modem flashes on i9505 have to be flashed via Odin and not recovery.

She's loaded with WiFi.

Lemme rub the accounts syncs and first switch and I'll be back

I'm just uploading the XXUBMGA baseband as a standalone tar (i've extracted and repacked) to try for anyone else that has the baseband problem (flash in Odin as modem).

I cannot even get it to boot. As I am on AT&T I need to flash a file after installing the rom to bypass the bootloader but I cannot get it to work. What boots first TW or GPe?

Fixed, well for now. For others using AT&T you need to flash a Lokied kernel like KT kernel(link here if I am not allowed to link and post it I do apologize. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292341)

I have problems with WiFi too, coming from a Brazillian ROM (don't remember the number...). It works ok on GPe but don't work on TouchWiz too.

How do I flash via Heimdall? Which partition should I use?

What is this file you have to flash? TW boots first.

Just flashed the standalone baseband and my WiFi don't turn on... :(

It is called LokiDoki. It is used to bypass out bootloader since AT&T will no allow us to have an unlocked bootloader and we haven't found an unlock for it. I am in the process of TW booting, after it boots and settles for a good 5 minutes I will try to SWITCH(see what I did there ;) lol) to the AOSP GPe and see if it works :)

After you Switch, you might have to go into recovery and re-do lokidoki for the GPe ROM since it's a different boot image.

To fix Wi Fi problems you need to Re install the original firmware, then a custom kernel, then back the original firmware. I only resolved in this method. That problem is kernel related.

That is what I was afraid of. Is there a way that I can edit the download zip in each of the roms and just swap out your stock kernel for two lokied kernels? It would make it a ton much easier when swapping lol

Oh and wifi and data works without needing the mga odin flash :)

You can? The files are in /system/SWITCH/stock/boot/boot.img and /system/SWITCH/alt/boot/boot.img (alt being GPe)...

My only main issue is not knowing how to edit the image file haha xD I have only just started working in the android development world lol that is why I had asked :P

OK.

Flash as normal. Run lokidoki from recovery. Boot. Switch. Wait until it stops booting / hangs. Go to recovery. Run lokidoki again. Boot (it should go to GPe) - then you're all set! You only need to do it once!

When will you release it to the people that haven't donated? :D I would like to donate but I haven't got PayPal. How can I test it? Is there anything I can do to help? :ninja:

In fact, I'm interested to hear from pledgers what they feel would be a fair wait. Certainly until we've got any serious initial bugs ironed out but after that...? Thoughts?
