No wifi

Last night i pulled the 23.0.1.A.5.77 update OTA. Today i went UBL and flashed this custom recovery. All seems to work besides wifi. Nothing happens when i turn it on. My thaught was then the .77-update. So i pulled istux new kernel update for the .77 but still no wifi.

You guys have any clue?

[Edit]

So i did not flash the new update from istux, just reflashed the old one from doom lord. I just pulled the updated one but its a .sin-file. I guess it has to be compiled first?

CWM really required?

Is it necessary to flash CWM to get root access? I found another solution for this here: forums.androidcentral.com/htc-one-rooting-roms-hacks/366745-root-without-using-twrp-cwm.html

Would this work for Z3C? Currently I don't think I really need CWM, because I have not planned to flash a custom rom for this device. I only want to have root access to get rid of bloatware and enable the permission manager.

Or what's about this: whiteboard.ping.se/Android/Rooting

What "boot.img"? There is no "boot.img" referenced as download in your description! Are you talking about the "Z3c_DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel_v01_FW-105.img" there?

Dear DooMLorD ..

I have been following your work for a while and admire your work.

Sadly i was a bit quick in the turn when i unlocked my bootloader duo to your CWM post.

I'm talking about my D5803, right? The sadest part is that my DRM keys are lost and the camera .. you know (",) but you know what? I got 5 D5803's, i got "sirius" and LOOOOOTS of other phones, so you are forgiven ;)

DO YOU NEED PHONES FOR ROM/KERNEL DEVELOPMENT TESTING, pm me.

Cheers mister, keep up the good work!

*** I also flashed the CWM, everything works besides WiFi, just like "smorgar" describes. The difference is that I flashed your kernel on stock .105 (UK) :/ WiFi button is having, and after looking in shell, the firmware is missing?

no wifi after root

Hi, after rooting my Z3C, I cannot seem to turn on Wifi again, only LTE connection works. When I try to switch the WIFI toggle, it just goes faded blue but never turns it on or connects. I also tried full data/factory reset but no luck.

Anyone else experienced something similar?

Root with latest firmware?

New to android and a new Z3 compact. I didn't realize I needed to root in order to get all of the functionality I want and have already updated to the latest firmware. Can I root a phone with 23.0.1.A.5.77 firmware? I don't care about the compromised camera and other sony oem features but I don't want a brick.

Also, there is a post in regards to a proxy setting in wlan that needed to be reset for wifi to work after root. At least for that user. I would not be happy to not have wifi so I will wait until this is clarified.

[ re-posted here in QA forum. should not have posted originally in the General forum. ]

Hi,

I desperately need help.

Short version: How can I boot into recovery when my volume buttons don't work?

Longer version:

My HTC One has been dropped one too many times (this is not new ... I've been living with it like this for a month or two) ... most functions which live on the daughter card don't work. Proximity sensor, front-facing camera, headphone jack, and VOLUME BUTTONS.

I could live with all that, until I screwed up loading a new ROM.

Now it isn't bootable. Whenever I try to turn it on, it sits stuck at the "HTC" white screen, because there's no valid ROM loaded.

I have TWRP recovery loaded, but with no VOLUME button, I cannot boot to recovery!

Is there some magic trick? "fastboot devices" and "adb devices" do not see the phone.

"lsusb" *does* see the phone.

Help please!!!!!!!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
Theirs no trick, thiers only 2 ways into custom recovery

one is from the bootloader and the other is from a booted up phone using adb reboot recovery
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Your phone Is s-off right, last hope is getting to the bootloader although I don't know how you would do that without working volume keys.

You could run an ruu then at least.

But it doesn't sound good :( only thing I can think of, and I've never tried this so your a guinea pig here.

Type this in the command window and connect and reboot the device

adb wait-for-device reboot bootloader

or

adb wait-for-device reboot recovery

Maybe, Hopefully it will catch the right point during boot and land you in the bootloader or recovery. Very slim and last hope I'd say.

If you found my posts helpful, Please click thanks :good:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McSurly:
I would be happy to boot to bootloader. It doesn't have to be boot-to-recovery.

Unfortunately, it doesn't boot far enough to start adbd. Frankly I don't know that anything valid is loaded in there at all. The ARHD installer completed, but when I told TWRP to reboot it warned me that no OS was loaded, am I sure I want to reboot? Should have said no!

So, adb wait-for-device will be endless.

My only hope is that there's something you can do when device is plugged in but not "on", over USB. When "lsusb" shows the device is connected to the computer, but "fastboot devices" still doesn't show it yet (same for "adb devices").

Last recourse may be opening up the phone and hoping for a loose wire. Though that's more likely to cause damage than repair it :(

Thanks for your thoughts.

Hi, I know there were many similar topics but this case looks different. I've tried to update my xperia Z using PcCompanion (to newest available kitkat) during flashing i got an error and all I saw after turning it on was grey triangle with warning. PC companion see my phone but cannot repair it (I got error 100), during flashing three different OFW in flashtool it always stucks on kernel or system flashing (excluding them in installation make possible for flashtool to finish the job) It gives constant blue light in fastbot mode but when i'm connecting it in flash mode it only blinks green and then red for a second each and remains black. I can make force shutdown only when it's in charger and being in charger it only blinks with red light and when I want to turn it on it only vibrate once and do and show nothing. It's not rooted, has locked bootloader and battery over 60 % full. Does anyone may help ?

[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DemiosNC:
Hello guys,

First of all I'm sorry if my grammar or general "english use" sucks but be patient, it's not my mother language.

I would like to ask some help taking a decision.

Let me introduce my needs first:

I'm on the market to replace my old and trusty iPad mini (i know, i know Apple's devices bring horrible nightmares to all XDA users). I'd want a compact tablet (8" to 8.4 screen) that can easily slide in my bag and follow me everywhere, from university lectures to various trips. One of the main function I'd want to improve on is handwritten notes: as it is on my iPad i can't do it and I end up simply downloading professor's slides to read them easier but still writing up to 3000 pages of notes per year, and you know that paper loves to get lost or hide when you need it. Combining it with the constant need of raw power for games i'm left with very few choices, none of them 100% suited for me (unless Samsung decides to include his majesty the S-pen on the Tab S 8.4).

So, coming back to what i'm willing to ask to you, Nvidia Shield Tablet owners: would you reccomend this tablet for hand written notes? And by that i mean: writing on this tablet is almost as fast and comfortable as writing on the good old paper with an ink pen?

If not, what else would you buy, considering that the ability to run smoothly something like Asphalt 8 it's a must have?

Thank you very much in advance.

Matteo
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eogram:
I bought this tablet to replace a Galaxy Note 10.1

I use the Shield Tablet with the MyScript Smart Note app.

Comparing this to Galaxy Note 10.1 + LectureNotes app (My fav at the time of ownership), it's pretty close, but not quite as good.

Writing is accurate enough for me, but not quite as good as the note.

And the smaller screen makes it a little harder to write as well (Worth it for the smaller size to carry around though).

Compared to paper, I think the convenience is way better.

The only real downside there is the lack of friction on the 'paper'.

Even with an invisishield screen protector, the tablet writes a lot smoother than a piece of paper. This is by far the biggest downside in my opinion, but it's easy enough to get used to.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moeali8:
Great Tablet for everything not just writing

First of I would like to tell you I faced your problem at the beginning of the year.

I own a LG G Pad 8.3 and a Nvidia shield tablet (NST). The NST is recently purchased so I cannot say its perfect yet when it comes to writing. In my opinion the option of having palm rejection in the NST is delightful which makes writing comfortable. I am currently using Smart note as well but I also use WPS Office (kingsoft Office)--(with the stylus beta app) for handwriting and converting into text if I need something compatible with Microsoft word. The stylus is slippery on the NST I had better control with the LG since I had a screen protector and was using the joint sylus pro which I think is amazing for writing. ( I am actually thinking of adding a screen protector just to use the joint stylus pro with the NST because rumor has it it scratches the screen). The hand recognition in the NST is really good and I think good apps from the play store will give you the experience you are looking for.

I hope this helps, if you have questions I am happy to assist.

sorry if the writing is messy but I got to go for now.

Good luck

FYI I am also in UNI and I do a lot of writing ( recently a 30,000 word document on my lg g pad) so I feel you :o

[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DemiosNC:
Thank you everyone for the support, now for each answer:

So, as I was thinking, the Note family from Samsung is still the best for notes in your experience? Frankly, I'm not a kid anymore (unfortunately) so if I have to choose beetwen "usefulness" and games I have to pick the first to justify the money spent...

The G-Pad was one of my first thoughts having a G3 wich I'm loving (almost), but I'm not sure it is an improvement in practicality over the iPad.

I've seen that wierd stylus and I thought it was insanely expensive, but now I see it's only 30$...Worth it?

Being an automotive engineering student, my notes are all about graphs, schemes and sketches so I need accuracy and predictibility in how the tablet translates my movements as well as a reliable software that ignores palm and wrist inputs on the screen (that's my biggest complain on the iPad).

OneNote relies on the NST stylus recognition or it has a built-in feature?

Side note: the Nexus 9....looks goood :P another contender? xD
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eogram:
If I was looking for a serious note taking piece of hardware... Yeah, I'd probably go with a note. I would also probably invest in a separate active stylus to use with it. The Note 10.1(2012) came with a pretty cheap feeling one. Light hollow plastic, not fun to use.

What you lose by going that route is a good AOSP-like experience. I don't like Samsung S touch wiz ui at all. And you can flash an aosp rom on it, but the stylus loses some features.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DemiosNC:
I don't have the exact english phrase to say that but I'll translate litterally: seems like you're reading my toughts...

I spent the last 4 years of my life as an Apple fan boy because i was thinking that android was only Samsung...The touchwiz is insanely overloaded so that is my biggest concern about following the "samsung route"...

Anyways, today I took a look at the tab s 8.4 in first person and I have to admit that the display is amazing...Colors are cartoonish but so appealing I can't ignore it...

Unfortunately I'm not able to find a store with an NST to try here in Italy...
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] on6hp:
I was playing today with the note pro from Samsung and I must say that it is for note taking way better then the nVidia Shield Tablet I own myself although I hate the touch wiz layer. Nevertheless I use one note now on my NST for note taking.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moeali8:
Congrats

First congrats on the Tab S 8.4 and you are right amazing screen, really vivid and nice colors I've always liked Samsung's screens; unfortunately it stops at their screens :). But why didnt you take a note if you wanted the S-pen and S-notes. Any way I hope it works out for you. Some great apps are Smart notes which has good hand recognition and lecture notes where I thing would help you with your graphing.

Regrading the LG G Pad 8.3 I'm still using it for standard media consumption like reading and browsing the net while my NST is mainly for games and the occasional web surf if its in my hands. And I'm still using the LG for writing my notes via Kingsoft office and stylus beta has my input method (best hand to text app i've used)

Anyways good luck.

Hi,

To stop all the questions/threads/shouting for links.

NO WM6/Crossbow stuff on the XDA FTP server, it will be removed as per M$ legal departments request.

To stop the gossip:

1. Yes, the ROM in doing "the round" with some prophet ROM maker(s) ;)

2. No, I will not (yet) upload a WM6/Crossbow ROM on the FTP server

3. Yes, I will release a proper(ish) WM6 Crossbow ROM in English for the prophet at some point in time.

A general warning, there are versions out there that will brick your phone if you don't know what you are doing.

If you want to "risk it" fine, but don't come crying when it goes wrong.

Better wait for a proper "prophet wm6 beta release" coming soon ;)

Ok, info:

- the WWE version going around (yes the orwell version) works on the prophet but has the following problems (i'm still checking so this list will get bigger)

1. No audio

2. The screen setup is in landscape mode (you can switch to portrait after the setup)

3. no ext. rom installation (it doesn't start even after hard reset)

4. you need to have activesync 4.5 for it to work (beta 2 avaiable on ms site here)

http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...cf6c/setup.exe

5. battery problem, it doesnt charge nor does it know anything about the battery status.

6. no camera software

7. buttons are mapped wrong

8. screen goes to landscape after softreset

I can confirm you can go back to another ROM and it doesn't "mess up" or lock your radio ROM (using the orwell version)
