Hello every body:)...

when I turn on the WI-FI the massage appear Unable to Scan Networks Then the wi-fi turns itself off.

Help me please guys...

i would suggest reflashing the stock firmware with ODIN. I had an issue like this on my Nexus One. Nothing helped. I had to fully wipe the phone and start over.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alsatea:
I found it :

since you're rooted, go to /data/wifi/ and delete bcm_supp.conf (back it up first just in case). Then reboot your phone.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aqua1ung:
Awesome! Many thanks for the tip! You've made my day!:) That file's gotta be deleted from time to time, as it can get quite clogged. (And when you think I could've re-flashed my phone as per the previous post...!)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxy44:
I having the same problem as this. after i removed and re entered my wifi login. also i had been on holiday and logged into a few other wifi routers.

when i re entered my home wifi it just kept turning off and saying "unable to scan networks"

its a vodafone UK contract Galaxy S (if that makes any difference)

I tried to root my phone using

[PROGRAM] One Click Root/UnRoot I9000 (Eclair and Froyo) Mac and PC

it seemed to work . i had an extra app for changing a few settings. but i still couldn't find the wifi file i need to delete? Had it not been rooted properly?

I'd really like to fix this without having to do a master reset every time?

What are my options?

Could i take an image of the mobile and remove the file from the image? then restore the image. A bit crazy if routing is not a possibility? :confused:

Can anyone help?

Latest update to DI07 fixed this issue for me

The update was DI07 for the Samsung Epic 4G, not the Vibrant.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxy44:
Is this update for the galaxy S?

or is there going to be a similar update?

I haven't logged onto another WIFI since I had to reset the phone (apart from my home WIFI). so i don't have to go through setting it up again.

cheers for the extra info
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxy44:
quick update

I am backing up with titanium backup manger now (free)

so hopefully it will restore the wifi it goes wrong again

(the phone needs to be ROOTED for the Titanium backup to work)

I rooted my phone with

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=742403

one click rooter ( i couldn't run the "Galaxy S I9000 One-Click Root" file. i ran "rootme" file for 2.1 android, the rootme2.2 is for 2.2 :) it says dont run both)

And have 'astro file manager'(Free) and can explore more of my phone by pressing the up button a few times.

in astro file manger I searched for the word 'wifi' and got about 3 results. So its probably one of these.

We'll it working for the moment but I'm posting the more info for anyone else.

(I still don't know which file to delete to reset the wifi though.) but the titanium backup should be able to restore the wifi settings
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chanXda:
hello alsatea,

I have the wifi problem as well, and my galaxy s is rooted by running rootme but I can't find the bcm_supp.conf file. How do I fix the problem without applying factory reset?

thanks
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CommanderTux:
Hi,

You have first to open 'adb shell' and in the shell enter 'su' (you must allow superuser access on your phone).

Next execute 'rm /data/wifi/bcm_supp.conf' and finaly 'reboot'

Good luck,

Mark

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I spent over an hour on the phone with AT&T and then with Samsung trying to resolve the "unable to scan networks" issue. Absolutely worthless.

I rooted my phone just to try this and avoid doing the factory reset, and it worked!

Now if only I knew how to avoid this in the future...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Throttle64:
thanks this actually worked for my fascinate as well.. saved me some hassle!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdacalfun:
I had the unable to scan networks problem on my Bell Canada Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant.

Have been attaching to static IP in my house using Wifi Static app. (great app, by the way. stores configurations for multiple static ips and then configures wifi and connects automatically when you're in range of one of them. no more manual fiddling with settings for every static IP)

But I guess this precipitated whatever happens to the "conf" file mentioned above.

Initially installed ES Strong file manager to see if I could see the contents of the /data folder. Showed up as empty. (apparently not a high enough level of access to see if there's anything in there)

So needed to go for "root" access.

Rooted my phone with One Click Root:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=742403

then installed the "Terminal Emulator" app from Android marketplace.

Ran the terminal emulator to get a command prompt. your soft keyboard should pop up. if not, hit the menu button on your phone and hit "toggle soft keyboard". Then typed in:

'su' and hit 'enter' (do not type quote marks)

to gain superuser access.

The superuser app will pop up to ask you if you want to grant superuser access to the terminal. hit 'yes' or 'ok' or whatever the right button is.

terminal responds with a '#' prompt.

Then I typed in:

'mv /data/wifi/bcm_supp.conf /data/wifi/bcm_supp.bak' and hit 'enter'

to rename the file.

I then typed 'exit' and hit 'enter' to get out of superuser and then I hit the phone's 'back' button to shut down the terminal.

And now my wifi works again!!

The terminal procedure could probably be put into a script.

Next time it happens, I'll just do the same.

Once Bell releases Froyo in Mid-dec, maybe this will be solved. But I'll probably hold off and watch the forums for a while before jumping to Froyo just in case it buggers up something else.

Good luck!

Just in case anyone is reading this topic but is unable to find the bcm_supp.conf file, try this instead:

Then try enabling the wifi again. It should work.

This is great, but there are a couple of things that are still way to big (lockscreen, check boxes and radio button e.t.c). If someone can point me to where I can get the images sizes for MDPI I am happy to resize them, I just don't know what size they are supposed to be :S

Use the LCD density changer app, I'd upload but I can't right now. If you set it to 120 everything will look better. Try that.

many of u have seen the screen shots and u kno it works. the key factor is that this theme ( personal experience here ) works best on a 2.2 ( froyo ) rom.

yes some things are still out of wack.. but the status bar and notifications flow almost perfectly, the rest can be changed by the user anyways.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wna2005:
Hello,

For the past few days i have been trying to find an answer to my question but so i've come up short. With regards to loading a custom rom, what is the process of ensuring that the correct radio image gets loaded as well? I have went as far as modifying my stock rom with dsixda's kitchen (great by the way, very easy to use), but I have not figured out what to do with the radio.img. I incorrectly assumed that it would be retained in the build, and now I'm a bit worried to try it until i know for sure where it needs to go.

Thanks for all your help,
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chromiumleaf:
Flashing a new ROM doesn't affect the radio at all. You could change your ROM 6 times per day and still have the same radio.

I'd say your best bet is to search around the forum and find one of the flashable .zips for whatever radio you want. They are out there cuz I remember doing that a while back. As long as you flash one meant for CDMA (DO NOT FLASH A GSM RADIO!!!) you should be fine.

Here's the one that a lot of us are using right now, the newest Radio that came in Sprint's 2.1 Stock release: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=681703
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wna2005:
Ok well that makes sense. I would use that radio, but I don't have a sprint device, so unless I am completely lost I should just stick with what I as my radio image. I have just gotten a bit confused with all the talk about using sprint rom's in non-sprint phones and losing the ability to make/receive calls,data, ect.

Just so I am clear, as long as I am clear, since I modified my stock rom to add root, wifi tethering, blah blah; the radio will be fine. So essentially, loading my rom would have no more effect on the carrier files than a master reset would. Am I over simplifying it?

Thanks, you are the first person is 5 different forums that explained this to me.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chromiumleaf:
Ok yes, you shouldn't flash a Sprint radio if you're not on the Sprint carrier. Your provider may not recognize it and your phone might not even get signal.

And yes you're also correct that adding root, wi-fi tether, and other such apps/mods will not have any effect on your radio at all. The radio is basically just what the phone uses to receive its signal from the tower. It's like you said...if you're not having any signal/data problems, you really don't need to worry about updating your radio.

Finally, you're also correct in that you shouldn't flash a Sprint-based ROM to your phone if you're not on Sprint. The frameworks and operating files are built somewhat differently in other providers ROMs, so a Sprint-based ROM on your non-Sprint phone likely wouldn't even work.

There are other ROMs for a few other carriers out there in the Development forum. Browse around there to see if one of those will work for you.

Sounds like you understand it all just fine :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wna2005:
Thanks, I went ahead and took the plunge and loaded my own rom and it worked flawlessly, well with the exception of my custom boot screen image and the boot sound. I guess I need to just take baby steps I guess. Does anybody know where I can get some get directions on creating custom bootup features? I read somewhere all I needed to do was open the media folder and edit the images as I see fit. It seemed easy enough, but on startup, the screens froze and I got no sound. It did load all the way but I would like to correct this if possible.

Thanks again

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wna2005:
Thanks, I will give them a try. I am still a little afraid to try some of the tried and true custom roms out there for fear of incompatability with my radio, so I am gonna work with what I got and continue to work on my own. Thanks again for all your help
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codejunkie78:
chromiumleaf is totaly right, if your not real familiar with flashing radio's stick with the one your carrier provided a wrong radio flash can brick your phone quick.

for the boot animations when cooking them into your roms, copying and pasting your new bootanimation into the /system/media folder in your working directory, and leaving the option in the kitchen unchecked will give your better results, also here's some more info that might be helpful in building them.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkDragon03:
So I have a Telus Desire which is SLCD (original radio was 4.08.00.09) and the other day I decided to root as well as update the radio to the 5.09.00.20 (a day before the 5.09.05.30_2 was released). The root and radio update were successful.

However the next morning I found that my phone downloaded the following WWE rom by itself:

RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_122704

I know this because I went to Internet -> Downloads and found this file. It shows it downloaded the rom from the shipped-roms website. I also found an error message saying "rom file type is not supported" which means my phone probably tried to open the file.

A few questions:

Does anyone know why my phone automatically downloaded this RUU after the radio update ?

How can I prevent my phone from automatically downloading these RUU files? At the time, I had the Scheduled Check box ticked in Settings, could this be why?

Also reading from the other thread "[FAQ] HBOOT 0.83 / 0.92 / SLCD - rooting and recovery", it states:

"Q. Which RUUs are safe to use with an SLCD screen?

A. The two mentioned here. All other currently available RUUs will stop the screen from working."

But the one my phone automatically downloaded is not one of the 2 posted in that thread. Is this why I got the error message saying rom file type is not supported?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
why would your phone download a rom from shipped-roms.com when htc has spent the last year trying to shut this website down lol :confused:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkDragon03:
Thats what I thought to...but why would my phone try to download a rom that isnt compatible with my SLCD screen (according to the [FAQ] HBOOT 0.83 thread) ?

Well I have the latest radio now (5.09.05.30_2) and also made sure the Scheduled Check box is not ticked now...and my phone has yet to automatically download anything...so hopefully that was the issue
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ljesh:
Probably because your phone didn't download the ROM.

Scheduled check does - scheduled check -. It checks time after time for a new update, but it doesn't download it without user permission. Even when it downloads it, it doesn't take it from shipped roms :)

I guess you have downloaded it by yourself (on purpose or by accident) and have forgotten about it.
[Hero CDMA General] AnHero:
So, I've been tinkering for the last day or so and finally understand rooting the phone and flashing zips, but that's about the extent of what I've learned. So far I rooted it, set it up with Darchdroid 2.8, and set up SetCPU which may or may not be doing anything at all. Anyhow, there are a TON of ROMs out there and I see mention of "kernels" which make the phone even faster? This is the stuff that confuses me. I like Darchdroid because it gets rid of Sense (well, really just cus I can choose how many screens I want to use), but I miss my HTC widgets and all that and the phone is kinda empty and boring now (lots of apps to replace).

Basically was just wondering if anyone would mind giving me the rundown on some of this. I want to use the most compatible 1) version, rom, kernel, and clock speeds to attain a faster, more efficient phone. Darchdroid is faster but I dunno if it can be combined with kernels very well, and all that jazz.

Basically just very lost, talk to me like a third grader please.
[Hero CDMA General] chromiumleaf:
"T-t-t-TODAY JUNIOR!" (quote from Billy Madison movie, when he's in the 3rd grade) :p

All 3 are very stable and smooth versions of Sense ROMs.

This is the OC kernel you should use with any of those: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=750170

As for setcpu settings, it will just be trial and error to determine what works best and smoothest with your particular phone. All of us here are probably using slighty different settings that fit best with our preferences and usage. Just know that not all phones can boot at OC speeds, so if you flash an OC kernel and get a bootloop, it probably means your phone can't handle it.

Just FYI, you can install a free launcher from the Market that will let you customize your number of home screens. I know Launcher Pro and ADW Launcher both have this feature and are a couple of the more popular ones. And they'll work in any ROM.

Good luck.
