[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monolithcog:
Hi Team,

I have a GT-19100T which had the carriers firmware (Vodafail AU) 4.1.3 (rooted) running with no problems until recently (2 wks ago), prior to the fault I have had this phone for years no glitches :) great phone for its age.

I had let the battery drain, upon re-energizing the phone and attempting to turn on the wireless i noticed it just reported "Turning WI-FI on" and the toggle switch was greyed out. this would last all day. switching the phone off and on would not stop the process of the phone attempting to turn wi-fi on.

I immediately went searching forums and people suggested hardware fault or perform factory wipe through CWM.

Troubleshooting I have performed so far is:

- factory wipe and cache cleanup (not resolved)

- flashed to CM 10.1.3 (not resolved) (multiple times)

++++

OS: 4.2.2

Baseband: 1900TDULP4

kernal version: 3.0.64-cm-g9c2e2bc

++++

I have found from research that the Bluetooth and wi-fi are the same module (I maybe wrong) and Bluetooth is working fine.

So this leads me to suspect a software/firmware fault.

I'm currently downloading I9100TDVLSM_I9100TVAULSF_VAU.zip from (sam mobile) the latest release for this phone from the carrier to see if firmware will resolve the problem.

In the mean time any suggestion, advice, help or solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe if someone knows of a file i can flash specifically for wi-fi module that I could try.

Thanks in advance :)

I have same problem few weeks ago when my galaxy on Stock Rom 4.1.2.

Later, I try to reflash again through Odin, then install CWM and I flash CM 10.2 4.3 through CWM and it solved.

I think you should try to flash Newer Rom version, example CM10.2 or SlimKat.

Good luck

Thanks mate for your reply,

I installed cm 11, this did not resolve it.

need the file for the radio/modem, i'm hoping this will fix it but not sure exactly what I am looking for.

**Update***

Just finished installing I9100TDVLSM_I9100TVAULSF_VAU (latest release from Sam Mobile) 4.1.2

Still wi-fi not working.

will try and install cm 10.2 on your recommendation huytrandinh
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monolithcog:
Okay latest nightly of CM is installed cm-10.2-20131216-NIGHTLY-i9100.

Still has not resolved the wi-fi issue.

anyone have a potential solution?

Try to flash a modem using odin,
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Modem won't solve the issue as WiFi/BT drivers are in the kernel on the S2. OP was on the right track, but for whatever reason a clean install of stock didn't fix the problem.

Maybe try the 3 part firmware in Hopper8's Odin Troubleshooting thread, then a clean install of the Voda stock rom after that ?

There's 'WiFi fixes' (which are actually the LTE modem) for the I9505 as it actually has two separate modems, and the LTE modem also controls WiFi (which isn't the case with the S2 as per my comment above).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monolithcog:
Have been trying that, still no success.

Thanks Mistahbungle,

I checked out that thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2345831

Nothing i could really use.

But I did try a few other kernels:

Siyah-s2-v5.0.1

Unfortunately as soon as flashing with other kernels the screen would go black after the initial boot logo.

Only way to resolve it not booting into the OS was to roll back to:

1. GT-I9100_JB_ClockworkMod-Recovery_6.0.2.9 (flashed with odin)

2. flash CWM-SuperSU-v0.97 with CWMRecovery

3. install cm-10.2-20131216-NIGHTLY-i9100

4. then your general cleaup through cwmrecovery

I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong when trying to apply another kernel.

anyone able to offer assistance please with right kernel?

cheers

Just found a post in that thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2345831&page=6

Will try the 3 part rom XXLSJ for GT-I9100.

Fingers crossed
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Yeah, that's what I suggested in my PP. Sorry, seems the 3 part was on HotFile & Hopper didn't have his own copy up somewhere.

The rationale was - there's possibly something from a previous installation causing your issues, and flashing the 3 part would wipe your phone. I realise you've done this manually, but at this stage you're fast running out of ideas before you declare it a possible hardware issue, and it was worth a shot.

So...What I'd try is - while you have a rooted phone, go into CWRecovery and format everything/ (not EFS though obviously, or your external card if you have one), then try re-flashing whatever stock firmware you have with Odin in download mode.

Edit - Also, maybe do a Google search for that 3 part firmware (details are still on Samfirmware, just that the files are gone), you never know, you might find it somewhere.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monolithcog:
Okay just finished testing the rom by installing it via odin (3 part)

still has not yielded any favorable results :( .

Little disapointed as this was a great backup phone and served for the past 12 months as a mp3 player :)

Guess as they say; It is all planned obsolescent which is fracked :( ...

Thanks for the suggestion/help anyway.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TroyFoxxin:
for consideration.

I have this phone. the GT-i9100. Had this issue also. I took it apart. The little onboard battery had blown and corrosion got all over all it.

and guess where WiFi hard is. Right Next door. I cleaned it up real good. Put it back together and WiFi came back to life.

So give it some thought guys.
[Java for Android App Development] djphd:
I'm a very accomplished coder when using interpreted languages, but this low-level memory management stuff is proving hard for me to get my head around.

I'm trying to work through the OpenGL ES sample code on the official developer site and I cannot understand why they create a ByteBuffer for the vertex list and then immediately turn around and create a FloatBuffer from the ByteBuffer. Why not just allocate and reference the FloatBuffer directly? Aren't there now two sets of data that basically refer to the same set of numbers? Here's the snippet to which I am directly referring (perhaps the reason lies elsewhere in the code, though?):

public class Triangle {

private FloatBuffer vertexBuffer;

// number of coordinates per vertex in this array

static final int COORDS_PER_VERTEX = 3;

static float triangleCoords[] = { // in counterclockwise order:

0.0f, 0.622008459f, 0.0f, // top

-0.5f, -0.311004243f, 0.0f, // bottom left

0.5f, -0.311004243f, 0.0f // bottom right

};

....

public Triangle() {

// initialize vertex byte buffer for shape coordinates

ByteBuffer bb = ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(

// (number of coordinate values * 4 bytes per float)

triangleCoords.length * 4);

// use the device hardware's native byte order

bb.order(ByteOrder.nativeOrder());

// create a floating point buffer from the ByteBuffer

vertexBuffer = bb.asFloatBuffer();

// add the coordinates to the FloatBuffer

vertexBuffer.put(triangleCoords);

// set the buffer to read the first coordinate

vertexBuffer.position(0);

}

}​
[Java for Android App Development] Burkey:
It is basicallly due to the way Java uses data types. In the language of gods (C) we can just cast types and all is good.

What is happening there is a workaround basically.. machines have a word order (not sure if you have ever heard of the term back-words or byte ordering before) the ByteBuffer has a method which shuffles data to put it into the CPU byte order (ByteOrder.nativeOrder()) which can then be sent to the GPU.

Imagine the value 0xFFEE on an Intel CPU that would be stored as the 2 bytes 0xEE 0xFF or "backwards" if you will, it is called a Little endian CPU. An ARM CPU may store it is 0xFF 0xEE in memory as it is Big Endian

Since Java has it's own convention that it always uses, the ByteBuffer is there to provide a method to re-order it to whatever the CPU needs.

Hope my explanation is not more confusing! I am half-asleep and was just heading to bed :-S

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] BarryH_GEG:
I haven't noticed any changes. Upgrading didn't involve any drama for the first time though. Also, MarketWatch was added to the "apps" section. Interestingly, MarketWatch is the first app I've seen that doesn't require a companion app on the host device to work.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mr pnut:
Looks like they just added a new clock image and finance app

I found a 4.3 based kernel (Chronic) but not sure if it's set up for OEM 4.3 or only custom ROM's. TIA for any insight.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mtsprite:
unless your running MDK you can not flash kernels to the stock ROM. This is because the kernels wont match and will cause a brick.

I was afraid of that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
plenty of discussions on what you can and can't do with S4's and custom Roms/Kernels here in these forums. The only choice you will be having and its not ready yet as its in development, will be to load safestrap and ROMS that will be compatible with it. Hashcode is porting over to the 4.3/4.4 base, the version of safestrap he developed for MEJ/MI1 users a couple of months ago. He is in the testing /development stage. I would suggest reading the safestrap threads to gain some insight in preparation of this becoming a reality.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] xetjoe:
XZU Stock was nice , and I love it.

But to explore and test much ROM was annoying using backup restore from CWM recovery.

It's takes too long time if we wipe reset, backup ROM then flash with another ROM, again and again.

There was many thread topics for multiple boot ROM another device,

But anyone trying on Xperia Z Ultra?

It's look amazing if we have multiple rom: Stock ROM, PAC Rom 4.3. then Omni Rom 4.4 in one device, like you boot beetwen Windows and Linux on PC.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
Nothing as yet.

It's still a new device, so kernels/ROMs/Mods are still developing. My guess is it will take a while for this to happen... probably when there is a lull in Sony updates, and dev's get board.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] xetjoe:
yeahh

Yeah, i think so.

I testing with Boot Manager Pro, then XZU was not recognized, i try manual set up.

But, the problem was boot.img from stock rom can't backup, another rom can't install

Hope someday, someone develop abilty to multiple boot it. :good:
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] Anjow:
Hi,

I've got an Alpine and all the ROMs are simple out-of-the-box as from O2 back in september.

Previously, I would use it to connect to the wireless network in my university. I would turn on the wifi then select the network to connect me to the internet and then enter the wireless key we have been provided with.

However, now it just stays on 'scanning network' and doesn't prompt me to choose a network or enter any key. Sometimes it claims that an IP has been assigned, but it doesn't progress past this. I have tried soft resetting and changing the wifi from 'best battery' to 'best performance'. I have also tried being really near the router.

My friends can access this network just fine on their laptops, and when I run WiFiFoFum it shows up just fine. I am pretty certain the router is a 802.11g one, and I can't tell if it's been changed since I could access it before.

My problem is I know virtually nothing about WiFi, so I don't know how to troubleshoot this. I was hoping someone could give me a bit of help?

Thanks.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] fox 2:
try this.

turn wifi on

go to settings

connections

network cards

see if you have networks listed, if u do delete them.

turn off wifi and turn back on again so it searches. see if it picks up the network.

Failing that what IP is it showing u, if its assigned one??

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Double44:
I have multiple questions pertaining to root and ROMs, any advice on any one of them would be appreciated. My questions surround a Samsung Galaxy S 4G, and a Nexus 7 (2012).

Samsung Galaxy S

ROM Manager

The SGS4G XDA forums have coined it as the "ROM Mangler", my model of Galaxy S is not a compatible device. However, every ROM I've flashed so far has included Clockworkmod5 or Clockworkmod6 (which are only accessible through Recovery). I naturally want to use this app to manage my ROMs on this device, but am wondering if I should or if I will be able to?

Nexus 7, and other Google/Nexus devices

OTA (over-the-air) software updates

I read a comment from a guy on Youtube that said he rooted his Nexus 7, but eventually received a software update from Google. He said he had to re-root his device after this. I am assuming the notification never went away, and he decided to install the update. How would I prevent something like this from happening? Should I install a ROM immediately after rooting??

Internal Storage

My Nexus 7 doesn't have an SD card, but has 32GB of internal storage space. My file explorer shows that the device has an 'sdcard' folder, but wouldn't that folder be wiped if I decided to root and flash a ROM on this device?? How would I prevent this scenario from happening?

General

Busybox

What is Busybox, and should it be installed? I watched a Youtube video suggesting to install it anyway, but I highly doubt I will ever use or need it. After rooting my Galaxy, I noticed Busybox was automatically installed. However after flashing several ROMs, I notice that some of them don't come with Busybox pre-installed.

Cyanogenmod

I currently have an unofficial Cyanogenmod 10.1 (w/Android 4.2.2) ROM installed on my Galaxy. But what is Cyanogenmod exactly, and why is it a big name in the ROM community? I've heard a lot about AOKP too.

SuperUser

My current ROM is missing a Superuser app. Should I install a Superuser app, and does it matter which one I choose?

If a Superuser app has already been pre-installed with a ROM, is updating to the Play Store version a good idea? Are there any consequences to installing a different superuser like Super SU or SuperUser from Clockworkmod? Is uninstalling one Superuser for another a good idea?

I'm not rooted, everything is stock.

It seems to me, that it might be a software bug. Is there a way to get in the StockRecovery to clear caches?

I installed a alternative launcher. That seems to help a little bit. And I also disabled the window-animation settings in the developer options. Let's see if it will help.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xT@sTy:
Hi there,

I have searched high & low on the interwebs for a possible solution to my problem but have yet to yield any significant results.

I was on 4.2.2 Stock, Rooted, with bulletproof, and I had started to get random reboots and then 4 nights ago during the night it decided to get into a reboot loop. It would power up for about 20 mins and then restart again & again so when I woke up it was super hot.

So I thought it was time to update it to 4.3 now in the hope that this would resolve the issue but it didn't. I obtained the relevant RUU (Guru Reset M7 2.24.980.2 for HTC__039) from htc1guru and since I was only wanting to get the OTA in the hope that this would fix any other software issues, I only flashed the recovery. I then proceeded to do the large OTA update. This was successful. Then the reboots started again.

Time for a factory reset now, (which I realise I should have just done in the first place) but after setting up my details in the phone I am unable to get network over 3G/4G and when I go into look at the APNs, it says that no sim card is installed when it definitely is. When I go into Phone Info, it states that my EMEI is 00000000.

After looking around for what feels like hours, I read somewhere that I might need to flash the radio but I only have the radio from the previous RUU(Guru Reset M7 2.24.980.2) or can I use that since I can not find anything around RUUs for 3.63.980.2.? I don't want to make the situation any worse than it already is.

I am hoping that there is a simple explanation and fix & any help or guidance would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance :good:
