[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UnwornMadRed:
hello,

i'm trying to port an aosp rom to my samsung galaxy sl, but when i launch the make command i receive an error that says:

How has this app gone completely unnoticed?
[Nexus 7 General] TimmyM:
Kinda. I bought the 16gig with the case. I'm left handed and the case, as in most cases, is right handed. So I prefer to use it upside down. Only real difference is the camera is on the bottom. I rarely ever used it and when I do I can easily switch it around. Unfortunately I didn't see this FREE app and bought Ultimate Rotation.
[Nexus 7 General] frederuco:
It is also possible using some launchers. I believe Apex and or Nova allow it to auto rotate.
[Nexus 7 General] sm0kincamel:
I can confirm Apex lets you.
[Nexus 7 General] _MetalHead_:
If you long press on auto, it should allow you to rotate it freely.
[Nexus 7 General] player911:
From my understanding the stock launcher doesn't have rotation at all. I believe a modded stock launcher was created just for this.

Does this rotation all rotate the stock launcher?

I simply use Apex. The stock launcher is what was stuck in portrait mode.
[Nexus 7 General] Eagle1337:
Funny thing when you do tablet ui AFAIK it'll rotate.
[Nexus 7 General] omnianick:
Ah just tried the long press and works!

SME widgets are a bit buggered but hey it works, and completely stock and no special launchers.
[Nexus 7 General] omnianick:
Works fine with stock launcher FYI.
[Nexus 7 General] cammykool:
That's pretty cool. Keeping that apk handy on my phone
[Nexus 7 General] roachkazy:
rotate home screen by long pressing auto?

Thanks for the tip, but what do you mean by auto? I tried long pressing the auto in the pull down notification bar with no luck.

Any suggestions?
[Nexus 7 General] ExploreMN:
This is cool, but it would be much better if it had a better/more useful widget!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Psykopat.007:
Tomorrow I will buy a all new Galaxy S3 which would be simlocked under Bouygues Telecom [FR]. I'd like to use it with my SIMcard from FreeMobile.

So I have to root it as explained in many tutorial (with cf root 6.4)... then i have to sim unlock it with the Voodoo Unlock App.

My question is

: Would I be able to install the Voodoo app from my SDcard (i've downloaded the *.apk) without inserting any SIMCard ? :confused:

Thx for reply as rapid as possible...:angel:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Psykopat.007:
Anyone ??
[Galaxy S II General] LastStandingDroid:
sounds strange, have you tried flash stock rom, then formad data, flash again and format?

you can try to see flash GB and see if it will help, it sounds strange that a rom may do this, maybe something isn't cleaned properly

if you got warantly you can always go back to stock rom (unrooted) and go to the retailer you bought your sgsII and they will help you
[Galaxy S II General] PunkOz:
I tried formatting everything in mounts and storage + kernel cleaning script and flashing a stock rom, then booted in and nothing. I havn't tried flashing a Ginger bread ROM. And my phone company won't help me, the warranty they gave me was only for 6 months and I've had my Galaxy since June 2011.

Do you think it could be my IMEI code maybe?

To be exact, when I turn WiFi on it stays in Dark grey and it says "turning on" and never turns on.

I can provide a pic if needed. Thanks, I'll try the GB ROM tonight but could you give me any other advice? :/ cheers c:

Edit: I think you had 2 Alphas up, I used the very first one and last one you had 2 days ago or so.
[Galaxy S II General] PunkOz:
bump ~
[Galaxy S II General] hiepgia:
Not fault caused by panadroid. It hardware fault. I had experienced it before, the only solution is replace mainboard. Wifi chip is broken.
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Hmmm...have you tried only on one wifi network? Can you try a different one? Are there other devices on wifi on that network that you can confirm are working? If you have access to the router/wifi AP have you tried unplugging it for 30 seconds and then plugging it back in? Same for the cable modem/DSL/internet connection? If none of that stuff works, we can look at the phone, I just want to make 100% sure it's the phone and not external.

This is possible, but lets exhaust all the other possibilities first.

Can you still make phone calls and use 2G/3G/H data? If so you didn't mess up your EFS folder.
[Galaxy S II General] PunkOz:
My problem is not that I can't connect to a network, the problem is that the WiFi won't turn on, It just gets stuck at "Turning WiFi On" not even searching for networks. :/ I hope the guy above is wrong.. change the WiFi chip would be impossible in my country T_T Thanks for the help!!!

Edit: And yes my 2G 3G and Data works perfect, I've used stock samsung rom and nothing, im currently using CM10.
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
When you did a full wipe, did you restore any apps or install anything other than the CM10 ROM and gapps package?
[Galaxy S II General] PunkOz:
The first thing I did after flashing the Stock ROM was try to turn WiFi on, same with CM10, I couldn't restore apps because I did a hard reset, I formatted my internal and external SD card, I left my phone like new with stock rom and nothing.
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Yeah, unfortunately it sounds like maybe your wifi chip is broken. Might require you finding a Samsung service center in your area and paying to get it repaired if you aren't under warranty anymore.
[Galaxy S II General] guruxin:
Have you changed dpi
[Galaxy S II General] marcellocord:
What if EFS is broken, then it might not recognize MAC, give MAC errors? Logcats would be useful.

---------- Post added at 02:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:32 AM ----------

That was bad...
[Galaxy S II General] PunkOz:
It couldn't be wrong in the Jelly Bean image alpha from LastStandingAndroid? :/ Daaaaaamn I can't believe it's the wifi chip.. I'm gonna have to buy a new phone I guess .. It's impossible to find a wifi chip in my town, or samsung center..
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
If his EFS was bad he probably wouldn't be able to make phone calls or use cell network data.

Well, if you wiped everything and flashed to stock and it was still broken, that pretty much eliminates the ROM as the problem, like marcellocord said you could try grabbing a logcat of turning on wifi to see if there is anything we can see there. You could try going back to the stock GB version that your phone originally came with via Odin too, but if it doesn't work on stock ICS I'm not convinced that's likely to help.
[Galaxy S II General] PunkOz:
Ok, I flashed a Ginger bread ROM, Now the WiFi turns on, scans, and turns off again by itself. There's like 4 WiFi connections around here and it doesn't detect any WiFi, but it turns on for like 10 seconds now, It wouldn't turn on at all on ICS. is that good? and can i make a logcat with GB ROM?
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
I don't know if I'd say that's good, it's better than no difference. You can make a log cat in GB for sure grab the alogcat app from the play store.
[Galaxy S II General] PunkOz:
Ok, I cant seem to attach the file to the post.. XDA Images aren't loading for some strange reason so i can't click the attach icon, here's the logcat

http://www.mediafire.com/?m53p0d1ws1a8p20

I turned on WiFi twice during the logcat, I think what I saw was something like "WiFi not found NULL!"

"No such file" well I hope this logcat works, If I did it work let me know. Thanks again!
[Galaxy S II General] PunkOz:
Btw, It says MAC and IP Address unavailable.

I think it's a ROM problem, mostly with the wpa supplicant bin.
[Galaxy S II General] PunkOz:
I just smiled.. I hope it isn't a broken WiFi chip.. daaamn I'm so happy I guess.. Should I be happy? And how is it a ROM problem, I'm currently using Stock GB, Did a hard reset again, formatted both SD cards system data preload and everything and flashed the Stock GB ROM via Odin.

I have a backup of my EFS folder that I did like 3 months ago somewhere in my PC if that helps.

Thanks!

Hope this proves it isn't the WiFi chip :/
[Galaxy S II General] thehrushi:
Try to use an app which can 'force' the wifi on (like WiFi Analyser) and check what it says.
[Galaxy S II General] PunkOz:
It just sends me to WiFi settings so I turn WiFi on, I've tried this already with other apps, It tries to turn Wifi on and when I go to settings and check why WiFi isn't turning on it just stays in dark grey (in ICS) and in gingerbread stock it turns on for 10 seconds, scans, doesn't find any network and turns off again (theres 4 networks near my house and mine and nothing).

[Galaxy S II General] :
No it's not the chip I believe I had this problem on my g2x but I don't remember if log was the same I think I only got unable to turn on Wi-Fi

I believe something isn't correct your missing also Cid file have you tried using cm10 I can't say that will help you but try and get logcat from there too

This exactly is my problem as well except mine is a i777.exact same experience with gb.here's what I have found

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=28036

Some say its due to a leaky battery damaging wifi chip.its so bad if its true.anyway goodluck
[Galaxy S II General] PunkOz:
I've tried with CM10, Actually I just flashed this stock GB ROM because of the WiFi problem :/

I hope you're wrong :/ well stay in this thread and let's hope someone can help us

Edit: I've been reading the posts in the link you posted and I think it isn't the same problem, I can use my phone, wifi drains the battery yeah but even if i restart the phone it wont work at all, it just stays in dim dark color and says "turning wifi on" and never turns on, i seem to be missing a file, is it possible to get this file from the internet and copy it in the right folder with root explorer? :o
[Galaxy S II General] PunkOz:
I asked Faryaaab and he asked me if I've tried flashing a stock ROM with PIT file, do you guys think that might work? I heard that file is quite dangerous :c
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
I generally don't recommend it, but you could give it a shot, just make sure you follow the directions carefully.
[Galaxy S II General] iekansh:
I've heard that kernel cleaning scripts sometimes delete the wifi drivers. Ummm... I don't remember the name of the guy whose wifi drivers got deleted because of this but he was a regular in checkrom thread. Is that a possibility that the drivers got deleted?
[Galaxy S II General] hiepgia:
Wifi firmware in system rom and Wifi driver in kernel. If you install fresh rom you with refresh your wifi. By this problem i have back to feb. First day, some turn on and off to turn on wifi, and it work. 3-4 day after. I can't turn it on. Flash many rom from odin. No result. i got code and it say Wifi driver loaded successfully. I use 3G and hope it's some fault in software and will fix soon. After a few day i got kernel panic. And wifi chip gone. When use code *#*#526#*#* (hope i remember right), i say Not set driver loaded [NG]. And i know, wifi chip gone. Got it back to samsung service, they replace my mainboard for free (it cost around 270$) - just thank to samsung service center, they return my phone in just 1 hour. And wifi work. :p

Try to restore EFS

I read once that some file in EFS partition is deleted and causes this issue and their is an wifi folder in EFS partition(won't loose 3G/H/Calls)

I am not sure about this but whats wrong trying to restoring EFS once...
[Galaxy S II General] voriax:
from my experience full install of 3 file rom + pit [ performed according to privided with package instructions ]

does completly wipe and if it is not fixed by such action it is hardware problem.

Before doing it please do EFS backup and copy it to external storage (just for sure).

I had some problems with constantly rebooting device and it helped.
[Galaxy S II General] PunkOz:
I have a file named efsbackup.tar.gz and theres 4 folders inside .files bluetooth imei wifi, how do i restore my efs? I read somewhere that copy paste isn't a good way lol. well i'll google and try to find the answer.
[Galaxy S II General] PunkOz:
I extracted the EFS folder in my PC, transfered it to my phone and used root explorer to replace the EFS folder I have to the backedup one and WiFi still doesn't work, and now my phone reboots by itself.

I guess I can fix the reboot but any other ideas of what could be happening with my WiFi? Btw I just copy pasted the EFS folder, I didn't set any permissions I don't know if i have to.

Thanks everyone c:

Edit: I'm gonna try flashing a ROM with 3 files and PIT, Do any of you know where can I get a 3 file ROM WITH PIT file?

I've been googling for over an hour and I can't find it, Everyone remove the pit file from the stock roms so people don't use it :c also I'm afraid of bricking my phone for using this.. and I can't find any tutorial of how to use the pit file or what pit file to use! T_T
[Galaxy S II General] :
use stock rom you can extract it with winrar as tis a tarball ;)

then you can see whats iside, there are a few files:

factoryrfs.img (system)

boot.bin (Boot image ofc)

cache.img (stupid cache file, joke its good)

hidden.img (some apps that claims to be hidden)

Zimage (Kernel)

Modem.bin (Affects your signal etc, #modem"

sbl.bin (No idea, im not addicted to stock rom) (!)

param.lfs (No idea)(maybe drivers??)

etc ^^ but i believe you got somehow a damaged efs. but that shouldn't have to do anything with wifi.

also wifi mac adress shows unvailable or unknown as its get the info when its active (i believe)

but there can be a chip related issue. but i believe you did miss a file
[Galaxy S II General] PunkOz:
Yeah I know that but I don't know what PIT file I have to use with a X version of firmware.

I don't know where to download a working PIT file either.

Thanks for the help :)

PS: I restores EFS folder already by copy pasting the EFS backup I had from a while ago. I copy pasted with root explorer.
[Galaxy S II General] :
thing is;

E/WifiHW ( 2709): Cannot open "/data/.cid.info": No such file or directory

isn't in any file provided in of our rom for the phone, also this issue seems to be new atleast googling on error parts doesn't gave much answer :( its seems rare

a pit is here; http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1169551&d=1341165472

also i believe theres some more here on xda :)

---------- Post added at 12:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:41 AM ----------

i believe permissions are needed for that sir, you can boot into recovery and select fix permissions,

wish you best of luck :)
[Galaxy S II General] PunkOz:
I know, I googled the error already and I couldn't find anything :/

How do I flash this PIT file? I just wanna be sure so I don't brick my phone, I've looked for guides but all of em say "Don't use PIT". Do I flash it with the firmware or only PIT file alone? (I'm using Odin)

And do you think PIT could fix my problem? and maybe if you give me the file I'm missing and copy paste it with root explorer.. It could fix my problem.. Maybe..
[Galaxy S II General] :
this one won't brick your phone i used it alot of times (when working with JB) i don't know if this can fix your wifi. i used to flash pit alone and if you chooose to flash stock rom theres always a magic pit isnide it (i believe) but the pit is safe, if you still don't want to flash it consider to try some methods to get wifi work.
[Galaxy S II General] PunkOz:
So I just select the pit file and check the re-partition box in Odin right? Thanks a lot for the help.

the pit file you sent me has a password.
[Galaxy S II General] PunkOz:
Bump~
[Galaxy S II General] bahmonkeys:
1 thing to try would be leave the battery out for about an hour. Your wifi chip mightn't be getting the right current. I have also seen this problem on an Xperia Play phone. After flashing a kernel and if you didn't flash the wifi patch, the wifi would do EXACTLY the same thing as your phone is doing. It would never turn on! I presume its a software problem. I have also got a solution for you if your interested just send me a message

Have you noticed what #19 said?

Put the attached .cid.info file into /data, change both its owner and group to "0 - root", and permissions to "rw-rw-rw-", then reboot your phone and try again.
[Galaxy S II General] karendar:
Not sure this'll change much to be honest with you. But here's the proper way of fixing .cid.info:

From a command prompt do the following:

adb shell

getprop ril.cid >/data/.cid.info

reboot

No need to set perms, they're set to rwrwrw by default.

Again, all this'll do is put your Carrier ID in a file which is unnecessary IMHO, but who knows.

---------- Post added at 06:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:26 PM ----------

Whenever you compile a custom kernel, there's a strong possibility that a new wifi driver will also be compiled (wlan.ko, wireless.ko) and these files are included with custom ROMs + kernels... This is the "Wifi patch" you're speaking of.

Updated thread with new logcat and the following:

SEEMS LIKE IT IS A SOFTWARE PROBLEM When I first got this problem I was in ParanoidAndroid 1.6(CM9) WiFi wouldn't turn on at all, then I wiped everything and tried again, and nothing, then I flashed stock GB and it would turn on for 5-10 seconds and turn off again by itself and wouldn't scan or find a network at all, now I wiped my phone again and flashed CM9 resurrection odin file and wifi turns on now and it ACTUALLY FINDS THE NETWORKS NOW! I just cant connect to them and WiFi keeps turning off and back on by itself, on GB it just turned off and couldn't find networks, I think I'm getting closer of a fix! I'll post a logcat of CM9 resurrection with my wifi problem soon.

The second logcat provides info of the WiFi problem, I actually got to connect to my WiFi network, I turned it off and tried to connect again and nothing :x I flashed fluxi kernel to see if it would change something it got worse, with the custom kernel It wouldn't even connect or scan, it just gets stuck at "Turning WiFi On" like in the beginning. Any ideas?
[Galaxy S II General] :
its has to be some permission problems because it says it was conected;

then it went to disconected, then it want mobile data :confused: sounds strange mate

[Galaxy S II General] karendar:
That's funny though that you'd wipe the phone on multiple occasions and that you still can't get wifi working... Not 100% sure it's a software issue to be quite honest.

Question, did you change modems recently? (And before someone jumps on me saying "MODEM DOESN'T AFFECT WIFI", I'm just throwing ideas around. I know modem doesn't necessarily affect Wifi. But I've seen weirder things than a baseband messing with kernel drivers) maybe try another modem file JUST for kicks... You never know.
