[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mroane84:
Okay so im completely new the whole rooting thing. I used the superguide-ics-root for my htc vivid and it worked beautifully. But ever since the root my wifi doesn't work. I go into settings and try and turn it on and it just says turning on wifi but never does anything. Sometimes it will eventually change from saying turning on to error. Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jtsurfs:
Is your Vivid S-ON or S-OFF? This is displayed in the HBoot screen.

If you are S-ON then you have to flash the kernel separate from the ROM. This can be accomplished thru several different ways. The one I think is the easiest is as follows - You can find the boot.img file within the ROM zip you downloaded and installed on your phone. Extract this file from the Zip and save to the same place you have the adb.exe file from when you rooted the phone. Launch a command prompt on your PC and change directories within the cmd window to where you have the adb and boot.img file. Connect your phone to your PC using the USB Cable and power off the phone. Once the phone is completely turned off, hold the volume down and press the power button. This should bring you to the bootloader screen. Using the volume down, select fastboot and press the power button to select fastboot. You should then see on the screen Fastboot USB. Back on the PC type "fastboot flash boot boot.img" without the quotes. This should send the boot.img to your phone and flash the kernel onto your phone. Once this completes, reboot your phone and your wifi should be working. If this seems difficult you can search for a program someone on here made called I think Flashimage GUI.

If you are S-OFF you may need to go back to the thread for the ROM and check if this is an issue with the kernel or with the ROM itself.

Are you running a stock ICS?

I had that problem too after doing the superguide. I had to hard reset and start over again (installing apps one by one) and my WiFi connection has been rock solid.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mroane84:
Thank you so much for your help this completely worked and now my wifi is up and running! I have been fighting this thing for weeks and coudn't find the answer to my problem anywhere? You completely rock. Finally have my vivid rooted and running holics rom. I guess now that i know i have to flash the kernel everytime i can start trying different roms out! Any suggestions in that department? Thanks again! Have a great day!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Blac Caesar:
Yeah, hit up the Vivid Android Development section on this forum.. there's plenty there to choose from. I'm running Virtuous Inquisition 4.0.2.1, and I love it.. pure to AOSP, cleanest so far anyway.

fixed?

I have had this problem for almost a year now. Only 1 time at a hotspot in a restaurant did my wifi connect and actually work It always gets and ip, dns server info, but it never can ping or connect to any other device. I had almost written it off when i decided to have a sitdown with my HTC Raider and my SMC SMCD3GN and try every possible combination of settings i could think of. Brute force style.

I turned enctyption off and tested every Wireless Mode setting. B only, G only, N only, and all the mixed. I did the mixed modes first and tested the connection and found that they all connected and got an ip address, but were not able to ping anything on my network. The connection speed was always 5Mb. After that i started trying the B only, G only, N only settings.

The N only setting connected at 65MB/s and i could now ping devices on my network.

I changed the mode to mixed b/g/n (it was the default setting) and eventialy retried them all. Now I can connect and ping other deviced where i could not in the past, albiet at 5Mb/s. . It seems to be the Wireless Mode selection that knocked something loose and got all the modes to work again. Going to try a few hotspots and see how it performs. ill update after.

Any insight as to how this got my broken and fixed would be much appreciated.

Encryption setting seem to have little effect on the connection speed / function

Hope this helps someone

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Se7enwolf:
I just ordered a refurbished Asus tablet (the 16 gig one) from Tiger Direct and it says it will come with Honeycomb 3.0.

Now I looked around the message boards at the different rooting methods and its all much different then what I'm used to with rooting android phones.

I don't plan on putting new roms on the tablet, just other things like downloaded apps without going through the market.

Should I do the OTA update first before rooting or just root and not update? And which method is the easiest root method?

also to put apps on the tablet that say I downloaded from a website, does the tablet have to be rooted for that or not?

Sorry for all the questions, I just don't want to mess this up.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mmmajor:
Has nothing to do with ur question but..i was thinking about buying one from tigerdirect also..if u dont mind..when u get it could you post the condition it came in and how u like it..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mecksg1:
I wouldn't update. Just flash a rom and go from their. The roms that are on this site are awsome
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Se7enwolf:
I will do. I should get it early next week.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Se7enwolf:
Well I wasn't really wanting to go through the process of flashing a rom. But are there any roms that will give more features then what already comes with the pad?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Se7enwolf:
oops didn't realize I wasn't suppose to post a question here. sorry.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mrevankyle:
The currently used root expoit only works on 3.2.1 so i would update to there. You will probably have to use vipermod or Nachoroot to root it depending on the serial number if it is B70 or lower use NVFlash to flash your first rom straight out without updating if it is B80+ then you need to update before you root

Edit: roms add a lot of speed, overclocking, addblocking, and different extra features depending on the rom you chose.

And no you do not need to be rooted to install apps you download from the browser, see "sideloading"
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Se7enwolf:
Ahhh ok thank you!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mrlooneytoon:
I bought one refurbished for $299 last week. Got it within two days!

There is one really small scratch on the top corner of the case and a very tiny (< 1mm) dent on the edge of the bezel. Most of these cosmetic issues are not noticeable unless you are actually looking for it. The screen is perfect. There are no other flaws with the device. I would test all the mechanical and electrical stuff once you get it (cameras, connectors, radios, light sensor, etc).

The box comes only with the tablet and the charging/usb cable.

Also, I'm going to leave it un-rooted and with the stock ROM until ICS (hopefully). If ICS never shows up for it, then I will root and custom ROM.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burritoboy9984:
Last I saw, this didn't work on GB. Does anyone know if it works with ICS yet, and if not, do you guys think getting a bounty going would be a good way of getting it done? I'm not sure how hard it is to get working, but I do know that wifi calling on the G2 works with all currently released versions of android.

I've posted a new nightly to my github account, plus a kineto addon package. It should give working T-Mobile Wifi calling. Everyone who's interested in that, please install both (nightly first, then addon package) and give feedback.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rperdue5:
Thanks Maniac. Using your ROM now, but I can't register on the tmo network using wifi calling.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maniac103:
I've updated my nightly (same link), please check whether it works with that new nightly. Kineto package needs to be reinstalled afterwards.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rperdue5:
It is working like a charm! This is now the perfect ROM for me.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maniac103:
I've uploaded a new nightly with the final solution: The Wifi calling application is shipped with the ROM, but disabled by default. In order to activate it, go to Settings -> Device settings and enable it there. If your launcher doesn't pick up the change immediately, just reboot.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Billy_80_98:
Echo on wifi

I am able to make and receive wifi calls once again but everyone I call while on wifi tells me they hear an echo of themselves with a 2-3 sec delay. Using the nightly posted by Maniac on 03/21.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maniac103:
Can you re-try with my latest nightly? I've included an app that keeps Wifi at full power even if the screen is off (which obviously happens when calling due to the proximity sensor).

During calling you should see a notification that says something like 'Wifi high-speed mode enabled'.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Step666:
No - questions go in the Q&A section.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Proverbs2:
I still have the echo problem on your nightly from May 22. Has the high-speed mode app been added since then? If so, I'll give your latest nightly a try tomorrow. Please let me know if there's anything else I can do to help with debugging this issue.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maniac103:
Yes. I added it in the May 29 build.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Proverbs2:
OK, I tried the May 29 build, and unfortunately the echo problem persists. :-(

It happens regardless of whether the screen is on or off, and regardless of whether the phone is on speaker mode. Changing the in-call volume does not affect the volume of the echo. Is there anything else I could try?

Edit: By the way, I have a nandroid of the stock T-Mobile USA Froyo, on which wi-fi calling works perfectly. I'd be happy to flash it and retrieve any files from it that may be needed to resolve the issue.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maniac103:
Damn :(

Unfortunately, I have no the slightest idea what could cause this echo issue, mainly because I can't actually try this stuff myself and am coding totally into the blue here. The fact that it happens on any audio output points towards network/Wifi, but I don't know Kineto well enough to know what the actual problem might be.

Can you share the system.img of that Nandroid with me? Maybe I'll give file comparison another try.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Proverbs2:
Sure, I'll send you a PM with a link to the nandroid. Thanks a million for working on this issue, and for all your work on CM7. Your builds are awesome!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Proverbs2:
I spent some time poking around in forums about T-Mobile wifi calling on other devices, and I noticed that the following files in system/lib/ are sometimes involved in getting wifi calling to work properly:

libcryp98.so

libcrypto.so

libganril.so

libkineto.so

libril.so

libril-moto-umts-1.so

librilswitch.so

I compared the files in the stock USA T-Mobile Froyo rom (on which wifi calling works perfectly) with the files in Maniac’s June 2nd build.

libganril and librilswitch are exactly the same in both roms (at least, their MD5 sums match).

libcryp98 is not in the stock rom at all, but there is a file in the stock rom called “libcryptoki.so”, which is not in CM7. I tried adding it to CM7, but it had no effect on wifi calling (the echo problem continued).

The remaining four files listed above are in both roms, but their MD5 sums do not match. So, I tried replacing the ones in CM7 with the ones from the stock rom, one at a time, with the following results:

libcrypto.so > phone stuck at boot screen

libkineto.so > wifi calling broken (Kineto app FC)

libril.so > no effect (wifi calling works, echo persists)

libril-moto-umts-1.so > no calls via network or wifi (invalid sim error)

I also tried replacing libaudiopolicy, libaudio, and libaudioflinger with the ones from the stock rom, as suggested here: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=4283#c75

Result: phone stuck at boot screen. I thought maybe the files were incompatible with gingerbread. So, I tried taking those three files from a Samsung Exhibit II stock rom (gingerbread with T-Mobile wifi calling), but when I put them on my DEFY it again got stuck at the boot screen.

I also tried replacing MS-MOTOJDN-FROYO-KNT20-02-A0-24.2.apk in system/app/ with the apk from the stock rom, since its MD5 sum did not match the one in Maniac’s build. However, this had no effect on wifi calling: the echo problem continued.

At this point I’m about out of ideas, but I’d love to see a solution to this problem and I’d be happy to test out any other ideas that anyone may have.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Proverbs2:
If the problem is network/wifi related, maybe using a different wifi module would solve the issue. I recall that several different wifi modules were tested back in the early days of cm7.1 -- perhaps one of those would be compatible with kineto wifi calling. I'd be happy to test that, if someone can explain how to replace the wifi module.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Proverbs2:
Another idea: maybe T-mobile's new IMS-based wifi calling could be made to work on the DEFY, instead of using Kineto:

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] YBCold:
Well, today I had some wifi issues with my tab and was wondering if anyone can help me out.

I am currently running Task10 with pershoot 's kernel and while working on a secured wifi at a client's office my tab was unable to pull down an ip address. The weird part was my Epic 4G touch was working fine with the accesspoint but after about an hour of using the tab it just stopped all Internet access and would constantly fail to connect. I tried forgetting the network and even rebooting but to no avail.

My question is, aside from forgetting a network is there a wireless protocol /ssid cache that I could have wipe other than simply forgetting the network?

I almost wish there was a way to perform a release and renew.

Thanks in advance for everyone 's help!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dextroamphetamine:
I too have many problems with wifi on my phone and tab. I randomly can not obtain an IP from hotspots I use all the time. At home I just reboot the device and the AP and it usually fixes it. Now that I think of it I haven't had the problem since I installed ICS.
[Surround Windows Phone 7 Development] rob243:
All,

I inherited a seriously injured HTC surround, and I have decided to use it as a project phone.

Current status - Half Bricked on the bootloader + when it boots it immediately asks to be connected to restore backup. Unfortunately I have no zune backup and neither does the original owner of the device.

So I have read everything I could find on the half-brick issue and it seems that some folks are having success using the goldcard method to over write their boot loader with various HTC devices. I am will to try this but all the vids I have seen tutorials etc show that you have to put the device into enter usb host mode (blue writing on white screen)

Only problem is ....I have no idea how to do this on the Surround. I have tried every button combo on boot and cannot find it.

Someone here must know how to do this in return I will post my findings on whether or not the Goldcard trick works to repair a 1/2 brick surround.

Thanks
[Surround Windows Phone 7 Development] ansar.ath.gr:
Hi,

Power off the device

Press and HOLD both camera and volume down buttons

Press power on button and KEEP holding both battery and volume down buttons

After boot screen will follow the usb screen

Now release battery and volume down buttons

Regards, ansar
[Surround Windows Phone 7 Development] rob243:
Ok I can only get to the tricolor screen showing the 1/2 brick spl. is the the usb host mode? Because I see on some videos on youtube a white screen with blue writing that says enter usb host mode. This is what I am trying to achieve.

Or if this is the USB host mode should I just attempt to do the flash via gold card and see if I can get rid of teh 1/2 brick?
[Surround Windows Phone 7 Development] dach:
USB Host mode

To enter USB host mode turn off the phone, then press and hold VOL down + camera buttons, then press power.

But the phone will not enter USB host mode if you only see one line en the tricolor screen (this state is half bricked). For the phone to be able to enter USB host mode, the tricolor screen must have more than 1 line but the only missing part must be Serial/USB at the bottom. Check well the videos on youtube, and you will notice before entering USB host mode that the tricolor screen have more than 1 line (someone call this state small half bricked).

My phone is also half bricked (one line in the tricolor screen), the only solution I have found is to do an HTC OEM update, either by waiting for HTC to release an update (that includes a bootloader) through zune or by forcing it (for this the phone needs to be developer unlocked).

P.S. ChevronWP7 is not selling more unlocking tokens at the moment, and the $99 AppHub membership is too expensive for me.
[Surround Windows Phone 7 Development] rob243:
Thanks Guys

After reading your posts I tried it out on my good surround and sure enough was dumped directly into Enter USB Host Mode screen

So now I am sitting here wondering what can I do with this thing it will not boot to anything but the screen to connect to restore backup.

Could I give anyone here anything useful about the device? Maybe disect it and post pics? Maybe someone could find these jtag posts? Or keep it for spare parts? Seems like a waste to just chuck it
[Surround Windows Phone 7 Development] dach:
Maybe you can repair it

rob243, you can try to install a new firmware, depending if the firmware is a version inferior to 2250.21.40500.502. You can use a tool called Cab Sender (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1306415) to send firmware version mondrian_2250.21.40500.502.cab (search in xda-developers), for the enter the phone to recovery mode (just press and hold CAMERA, then power, ang then release the 2 buttons).

[Optimus One, P500, V General] aspee:
I have some ideas to make it work on all rom

we can make our baseband by combining both :D

the difference between old and new baseband is just amss.mbn,amsshd.mbn,partition.mbn I liked to see what's this mbn contain I tried with unyaffsmbn but I can't

also if system.mbn can flash as system.img

then this basebands can also flash as radio.img

This is just an idea and maybe it's impossible for us. :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] RockR172:
Another way??

Modify the CWM Recovery to flash in the radio partition or wherever the radio files are placed... should be pretty hard but will work out an easy way...

We need to study the way LGMDP Tool operates and flashes the baseband and try to remake that process in the recovery...

Sadly, no developer will want to waste his time on it when he can pretty much build ROMS for different basebands with much fewer codings than workin on the recovery... :(

If you are comfortable with adb , then do the following to unroot your phone.

1. Boot into recovery.

2. Mount system in RW mode.

3. Remove superuser apk from /system/app

4. Remove su binary /system/bin/ and /system/xbin

This method is a crude one because the busybox will still be there. But busybox is good thing to be there. You can play with some native linux command without any harm as su is not there.
