hey guys,

so recently i decided to flash one of the many S5 ROMs that are now available to the s3, after wiping my phone i found that the wifi would not connect, i'd put the password in then it would just say "saved, secured".. ive downloaded several similar ROMs since then only to run into the same problem every time.. all the other features work fine its just the wifi, which is quiet essential..

i live in new zealand and have an i9300T..

thanks to anyone who can help me out as i really like the S5 software!

Go to data folder of your device by using any root explorer and create a file name it .cid.info enter in that file and edit and type murata in it.
Change permissions to rw-rw-r and reboot.

Press thanx if i helped you in anyway...


WOW, read so many posts about this problem, was about to go back to non kit kat roms, until I found this gem of a post! Fixed my problem.
Thank you so much.

If you read carefully about every s5 based rom,you will see a wifi problem mentioned and a flashable zip provided. All you need is read;)

I have this same 'Saved, Secured' problem on OmniROM... my .cid.info file already contains the word murata ... what do I do?

same for me on QS-i9300-KK-v2.5 ROM...
- I flash wifix.zip file - NO wifi
- download wifix manager, install, set to EU - NO wifi
- delete .cid.info file, create again that file, nothing happend, still no connection on any wifi

I don't know what else can I do

Did you flash wifi fix right after flashing rom? Some people said that the wifi worked without applying the fix.

On this rom I came from miui v5 kk rom too where wifi works great. First I installed this QS-i9300-KK rom without wifi-fix, on the first start wifi didn't work, so I flashed wifi-fix.zip and wifi still didn' work. Then I downloaded wifix without any sussess, then I clean installed rom again and after instalation flashed wifi-fix.zip still no success and so on and on... I don't know what else should I do

This rom is v2.5, do you think I should try install older version first and then latest? I think my phone and s5 roms are not meant to be together :rolleyes:

Wifi fix worked fine for me on 2.4. I did't install 2.5. Maybe try reflash without wipe and choose Agni kernel? Or maybe you are right,it's not meant to be:D

HAHA OK SOLVED!!!

Clean installed v2.4 without wifi-fix and strange wifi works :D then installed v2.5 without full wipe and look it works fine :D such a small step and it changes everything :laugh:
