I am really new to this, rooted the phone yesterday using the 1-click method (which I believe is derived from toast)

In this thread, it appears that you can

1) pull the file, hex edit, push back

2) flash update

3) push the already edited file to the phone

4) copy already edited file using Root Explorer

Is that about right?

As far as #2 flashing, would that mean renaming the EVO_Enable_Wireless_N.zip file to update.zip, putting it on the SD root and then starting up in recovery mode?

Thanks everyone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Ahanix:
Any chance of this working on the Nexus One?
[EVO 4G Android Development] bhagiratha:
I flash this on my rooted evo, but how do I tell if am getting N speed connections? I have an airport extreme both at home and work, so Im always on an N setting.
[EVO 4G Android Development] drennen:
using the bcm4329.ko from 'object.unoriented' blog, an have the "Unable to start Wi-Fi" problem.

I used Root Explorer to copy. (Could not figure out how to use the mount command from the tutorial. Im on a windows box)

I set the permissions to rw-r--r-- and still no go.

Im using that 1click 3 step root method which left me with the "HTC Engineers" ROM I believe. Not sure if that is part of the trouble.

EDIT: By hexediting the bcm4329.ko that was ON the device before I started, I was able to get the Wi-Fi to start. Not sure why the supplied .ko wouldn't work for me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chuckhriczko:
When you push the file you can just push it directly to /system/lib/modules. No need for root explorer. Best way is to flash the update zip file. You don't need to rename it. You just copy it to the root of your sd card, reboot into recovery and flash that zip file.
[EVO 4G Android Development] drennen:
You just put the EVO_Enable_Wireless_N.zip file in the root, go into recovery and then.... you will see an option to flash THAT file?

EDIT: Nevermind, got this part figure out. Thanks.

Recovery mode help

I have already rooted my phone, but not sure if I have unlocked RAND. How would I check this?

Also, I downloaded the zip file and placed it on the SD card. When I hit power/volume down and then recovery I get the red error triangle but nothing else. No option to flash the zip.

Can someone please advise me what I am doing wrong? I really appreciate any help I could get. Thanks to the developers for all their hard work on this!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] eyecon82:
you didn't unlock NAND correctly...you should have a custom recovery menu if you did
[EVO 4G Android Development] yinyang37:
Thank you for your reply. I googled how to unlock RAND, and came up empty. How would I do this? Or could you give me a link to instructions? Thank you
[EVO 4G Android Development] chuckhriczko:
Look, I hate to sound like an ass but use the search feature on this forum. Also on the front page of this forum you will see stickies with the information that you need. Please this is answered all the time and all we ask is if you use our work at least read first. We don't need to hold your hand. Again, not trying to be mean but we have better things to do than write posts like this all day. Thank you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] XevoX:
That seems to be the case. I flashed the EVO_Enable_Wireless_N.zip file in recovery, and my PC shows the Evo's Wireless Tether network as 802.11g.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chuckhriczko:
I'll look into this a little more but I'm curious as to whether this is a hardware limitation or a driver limitation. This hack basically just removes limitations added by HTC. It essentially turns the driver into the AOSP driver, which has no limitations. I would expect the AOSP driver would yield the same results. I'll keep ya'll updated if I find out anything further.
[EVO 4G Android Development] eyecon82:
try googling "nand" instead of "rand"...i think your mistake is there when googling...
[EVO 4G Android Development] criccio:
Without a storage medium capable of writing at that speed, that is useless.
[EVO 4G Android Development] pimpollofelice123:
i also did everything correctly but it keeps saying "Radio Type 802.11g" not N.

EDIT im using the wireless tether for root app
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
of course, i could be completely wrong here but from all that ive read it seems this tweak only removes a block on the phone from connecting TO a wireless n network, not hosting a wireless n network...

im pretty sure the wireless tether app is only going to broadcast the evo's wireless tether network on g . i haven't seen any other phone ever broadcast thru wireless tether on n.

i would ask on the wireless tether google code page when/if they will support wireless n broadcast?

hopefully that makes some sense ...
[EVO 4G Android Development] yinyang37:
thanks

Yea, thank you!! I caught my mistake, and found the instructions for NAND, however I am having trouble with it because my phone cannot find the HTC sync, so when I am at the command prompt trying to type "...sdcard..." as the instructions say, I always get "file not found".

I have read every post in these 11 pages, and I am still having trouble. I apologize to those that are bothered by my question, I am really just not having any luck and have spent hours trying. :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
seriously????

[EVO 4G Android Development] stu8319:
I upgraded my sync software on my computer to fix the syncing issue. Go to HTC's website or I think the software had an update link. I'm not looking for it for you though, sorry.
[EVO 4G Android Development] PAPutzback:
1st question. Is the only way to verify this is installed is by finding an "N" network and succesfully connecting? I know, why the hell is this guy asking that. He should not install this if he doesn't have an "N" use for it. I jsut like to tinker and want to have the ability should I get near a N network.

Now I went thru a whole bunch of rooting and NAND unlock stes the other night and finally got the Fresh ROM working. I am nut sure what recovery tool is installed but I did use the ES File explorer app to move the file into the root of the SD card and then in recovery I was able to browse for the the EVO_enable....zip file and it appeared to install. But without a N network I guess I can't check.

I thought if I went into the wireless network setup I could define a network to connect as G but there are no options for that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chuckhriczko:
Yes this is the only way to test
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
yes, that is the easiest way!

more technical way: perhaps an md5sum of the original bcm*.ko and modified bcm*.ko ... might be a bit much for the average user though
[EVO 4G Android Development] edwards379:
Update zip didn't seem to work on fresh evo maybe I'm doing something wrong
[EVO 4G Android Development] chuckhriczko:
You definitely are doing something wrong. Did it give you an error while flashing?
[EVO 4G Android Development] edwards379:
No errors... I have a net gear dual band n router
[EVO 4G Android Development] badnews640:
well, after performing this patch, my speeds have been excellent. Connected at 54 mbps. not bad if you ask me. and mine says its connected Atheros AR5009 802.11a/g/n WiFi Adapter. i dont know if thats just saying what the capabilities are, or if i am using "N"
[EVO 4G Android Development] ajg23:
Any chance this will improve the range on a standard (not N) connection? I wish the only problem with Wifi on the Evo was the signal strength indicator, but I really don't think so...
[EVO 4G Android Development] RanEnRui:
Doesn't connect.

So I anxiously did this update at work and when I got home immediately tried it out on my router. No dice.

I have a WRT350N running DD-WRT v26-sp1 mega. I changed it to N-only, 20 MHz channel width, channel 11. My Evo sees the network and can be set to connect to it (WPA password) but will never connect.

Switching it back to a Mixed network will allow the Evo to connect again at 54mbps. I can't get the N mode to work properly.

I checked to make sure my patch worked by pulling the /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko through adb and there is no more "nmode" strings in the file. However, N mode does not work even through countless Evo/Router reboots.

Any ideas? :S
[EVO 4G Android Development] theothermillion:
I flashed this and my signal strength drastically improved
[EVO 4G Android Development] wocko1:
Will this work on the Desire, since it has the same Broadcom chip as the EVO?
[EVO 4G Android Development] skantman69:
Working great for me!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Is your router on the 5ghz band or the 2.4ghz band? There have been some reports that the BCM4329 will only connect to 2.4ghz routers and not dual mode 2.4/5.

No idea but if you try it let us know and spread the word in the Desire forums.

Unable to start wifi

I saw a few post with people with the same issue but I didn't see a fix. So has anyone fixed the unable to start wifi issue? I have tried the disable.zip but the problem still persist.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MagnusRagnarok:
just to let everyone know, most of the rom_mods other than the ruus(the recent ones) all already contain this exact same driver. In short this is redundant unless you are still using an ruu based rom. fyi. check it out yourself in system\lib\modules\bcm4329.ko....now look in the zip posted to enable wi fi with 7zip and look at the size of the files, or choose edit from 7zip menu and look @ the file itself. you will notice they are the exact same file. just trying to save those that dont know better the time of flashing this if they dont need to. i had n speed ever since i flashed my first baked rom. however this will not disable it in case you were wondering or flashed it and werent sure what it could do.​
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sceneiskeen:
Worked perfectly for me. Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] onyx00:
Having the same issue, boo. Anyone?

EDIT: I didn't want to wait, so I am re-doing "simple root/nand unlock" on the phone to see if I at least get Wifi back. If I don't, I'll make a general post on how to restore the Wifi drivers.

IF YOU HAD THIS PROBLEM - Can you please post the driver you ended up using; I realize it should be the same, but other comments earlier in this thread lead me to believe there is some difference.

EDIT 2: Got it fixed. Not the preferred way, but by re-doing the "Simple Root" everything works fine now. I am going to leave the wireless N alone for now since I don't own an N router anyway. I would definitely suggest people modify their backed up driver and not use the provided zip's, etc. only because they didn't work for me and my phone was fresh from Best Buy 3 hrs. ago.
[EVO 4G Android Development] thecalip:
Is anyone experience shorter range after install this mod? I used to able to receive signal from the router when I was in the yard. Now, after the mod, I cannot even get signal when I was in the living room, the other side of the house.
[EVO 4G Android Development] my95z34:
I am getting excellent range using this mod. I am deployed to Iraq right now and can get my N signal about 30' away, inside of a concrete bunker that is about 2 feet thick, and the signal has to go through a 4 foot thick "Hesco barrier" filled with sand. Before it would be intermittent, but now I have no problem keeping 1 bar of signal, even while holding the phone normally. I used to have to find that 'sweet spot' while holding the phone without blocking the antenna. bunch of crap just to get a signal.

I'm not even sure if it would be possible but an app to make our androids a media center extender might be kinda cool... It would also make it so we can stream hulu videos using secondrun. I'm just not sure if it would be possible
[Android Apps and Games] cacheinjection:
afaik no one has worked out how to create an extender session on a device other than an extender, i love the idea tho.

if we wcould work out the security authentication stuff it could be posible as i believe it uses remote desktop connection fro the most part :)

if you interested in media center stuff check out the app im currenly working on over at:

Not just Android phones.... it would be awesome to be able to use my GoogleTV (I have a Sony GTV with BD player) as a media center extender!

Does anyone know if a TV out cacle is available or even possible on the micro usb connection of the Slide? I am about to go on vacation and need to keep the kids entertained without dragging a DVD player along with us. I am curious if HTC gas the same setup as far as pin count on this one as thet did on their micro plug. Any input on the subject is apreciated.
[myTouch 3G Slide Accessories] khtims:
here's the best I can find. I didn't spend a huge amount of time so I may have missed one that may work better but here is a micro usb to mini usb adapter and then I know there are TONS of mini usb tv out cables out there so this setup may work for you. I did not see any micro usb tv out cables anywhere which I found odd. anyway, here's the link to the adapter I found, you may find something even cheaper:

http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/...7&cs=04&c=us&l=en&dgc=SS&cid=27722&lid=628335
[myTouch 3G Slide Accessories] donepate:
Thanks for the info. The only thing I worry about is HTC mini usb jacks have a lot more pins than standard mini usb jacks. It was a great idea in its day, though I am sure there are better ones now. Any adapter would have to be the HTC. Style output, and I don't even know if there is an "HTC" micro usb output.
[myTouch 3G Slide Accessories] IndikuT:
As far as I understand, the extra pins on the HTC mini-usb plug were:

1x Ground

2x R/L sound Out

1x Mic In

These just carried an analog signal.

Since HTC is now defaulting a 3.5mm jack on almost all phones, these type mini-usb plugs are becoming obsolete.

The regular Data +/- and +/-5v pins never changed, which is what carried the digital signal for video/sound out.

[myTouch 3G Slide Accessories] shinkinrui:
Good question. I haven't seen this feature advertised at all for this phone, including on T-Mobile internal documentation, so I very much doubt that it is capable of TV out. That would be awesome to find out it is, though!
[myTouch 3G Slide Accessories] IndikuT:
I'm sure with a bit of tinkering, it would, but with the resolution and low GPU speeds, would it be worth it?
[myTouch 3G Slide Accessories] shadowmike:
ive read that the slide has a basic usb connector 4 or 5 pin

where as other phones .. incredible have 7 or 8 pin connectors.

htc's spec pages tell everything you want to know
[myTouch 3G Slide Accessories] donepate:
Kinda where I was headed with all this.

One of the main functions of my current smart phone is PIM functionality. I like to have my calendar up front. For example, this is my current home screen (via SPB Mobile Shell for WinMO):

Just a small amount of calendar, but shows my next two upcoming appointments.

I haven't seen any Android screen shots showing such a screen. Anyone know if there are widgets for any of the Android home screens to havef a calendar showing?

The rest of the items on the screen are links to my most commonly used things.

Also, 121mb free after installing all my apps back with this rom. So far so good. It was 133mb free after first boot.

Downloading asap, cant wait to test this out!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] fermunky:
Not sure what you're asking. As long as you have already rooted and installed the eng build, then all you need is the update.zip file, which allows you to get clockwork recovery initially by hitting "Apply update.zip", and then you can apply the SlideM.zip. I did not need to mount anything, and you certainly don't need to "re-root" if you've done that already.

Re: (ROM)(SLIDE) SlideM with a Touch of Eclair *6/21/2010*

The only thing I personally miss is facebook contact sync .. I believe because the facebook for mytouch app is not included..
