Hi Guys,
I update the wireless N driver for my EVO today, I follow the following thread (2nd method);
[FIX] Wireless N on Evo 4.24.651.1 ROM
I did everything with the exception of Wipe dalvik cache and cache (because I dont know how to).
After I reboot my phone and I try to enable the WIFI i get the "WIFI error message".
Any ideas on how to fix it ?
HTC EVO 2.3.3
Baseband 2.15.00.05.02
Build 4.26.651.1
Thanks for the help.
I had this error when I flashed my kernel and didn't clear all the caches in the rom manager settings. If you updated through a zip and rom manager I would try doing that.

Thanks for the reply Sp0d.
I used Titanium Backup to clear dalvik, but I still have the same error.
Can you tell me how to do it ? I root my EVO Today using unrevoked.
Thanks
reboot into recovery, and wipe dalvik, and cache, also I heard to turn off wifi before doing this also.
Question
From the Recovery Menu, which option do I need to use ?
To do it from within the recovery menu, I think you have to choose apply update from zip. But I think the file has to be called update.zip
It would probably be easier to download 'rom manager' from the market place (there is a free version) then I would download Adao file manager.
Once you get both installed, use Adao manager to browse to the download folder and select your wifi fix.zip file. It SHOULD open with rom manager and bring up the options to clear the caches and flash. Once you click that it will restart your phone into recover and flash it for you.
Hope this helps!
Which recovery are you using?
This is what I have done so far;
I download the driver bcm4329.ko (see attachment)
Unzip on the SD
Using Root Explorer I copy driver and paste on /system/lib/modules
Change the permission of 'bcm4329.ko' to 'rw-r--r--'
Clean Dalvik Using Titanium Pro
Reboot the phone
After the reboot I try to enable the WIFI and I get the "WIFI Error"
I have the custom recovery from Unrevoked.
Okay couple of issues, lets try to work them one at a time. 1st this N fix is for very specific roms. I don't see in any of the above posts exactly what you flashed.
----NOTICE----
This fix is for 4.24 sense based ROMs only using the HTC #1 kernel. The driver is kernel specfic. If you or your ROM uses a custom kernel, do NOT flash this. It will break your wifi.
It will NOT work on CM7/ASOP ROMs at all. Do NOT flash this onto a non-sense ROM. If I recall correctly, CM7 should already have Wifi N support build into the ROM. (Let me know if this isn't the case and I will look into it. EDIT: Confirmed, ASOP/CM7 has N support built in.)

So assuming that you have this on the right rom and kernel the next issue is which of the three recoveries you have. I assume you know how to boot into recovery. For Amon Ra to wipe Caches go to the wipe menu. For TWRP go to the flash zip menu and wipe is under that. For clockwork, well, I forget, but if that's what you have let me know and I'll flash it and give you directions.
I was able to clear caches using clockwork.
I re-download the file and change the permissions on it. Right now is working.
Thanks for the time and effort.
No problem. Glad I could help.

Everytime I try to flash an update.zip file using Rom Manager, it just reboots into clockwork recovery and does nothing. I've been having to manually flash in recovery. I've tried reflashing recovery, reinstalling Rom Manager, and even flashed stock image and rooted again, nothing fixes it. Any ideas?

Koush switched ROM Manager from fakeflash to real flash yesterday; maybe this is why you're having issues? Do you have S-OFF?

I've have the same problem, and it's been about the same amount of time, a little more than a month... I'm not sure what has happened to cause this, but I cannot get it fixed for the life of me.

Its a corrupted cache partition. I can post instructions later, you need to know how to use adb.
1.reboot to recovery and adb shell
2. mount /system (you can do this in clockworkmod under mounts and storage)
3.unmount cache(same as above mounts and storage)
3./system/bin/e2fsck -p /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
reboot
then 'Flash Recovery" from Rom Manager
Try to Backup with Rom Manager and it should work now
nevermind, fixed it, thanks luniz7
It seems like every time I mount my phone to Ubuntu on Oracle Virtual Box, my cache seems to get corrupted and I have to repair it all over again. Anyone have any ideas why that is?

So I again decided to try the newest miui rom for my incredible, but as with all prior times I've tried this rom, the wifi won't work. Whenever I switch it on, it tries to scan for networks for a bit before giving up, saying "unable to scan for networks" and then turning itself off (the wifi that is).
I tried looking online, and it seems this isn't just a problem with the rom itself, but maybe something else?
I've tried full wiping before installing and everything. Nothing works. Also, the wifi works fine in skyraider sense rom.
I could really use some advice. Is anyone else having this issue with miui rom?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
The same problem with HTC Desire.
Other ROMs work fine.
Constantly obtaining IP address or scanning.
Any fix for this upcoming or in the new release?
Try flashing the ROM from ROM Manager with full wipe (data/dalvik/cache) then flashing it again over it, using install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard in Clockworkmod Recovery this time. I had that issue in Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo at first then I did that and it fixed it.
I have the same problem on my Milestone. Every other ROM connects immediately thorough WiFi and every version of MIUI don't
Could You PGleo86 tell me exactly step by step how to do this? Because i think i might doing it wrong. I've installed Rom Manager and it got me Flash Clockworkmod Recovery thorough the OP data transfer. Then i chose 'Install ROM from SD card' and pick OpenRecovery/update/miui_file.zip
Should i install Recovery Clockwork in a different way? Manualy put it on sd card and if yes then how, where. Adding update.zip Instead of Androidiani OpenRecovery 3.3 that i have now.
Sorry for my english.

How it's done:
You have clockworkmod recovery on there already, I assume.
Put your ROM's zip on the sdcard.
Boot into clockworkmod through ROM Manager
Use the option for wiping all caches
Use install zip from sdcard to get to the zip you put on there and install. post back here with results

Boot into clockwork doesn't work After clickin this option, i see for just a second image od recovery but it seems to not load completely and boot again loading MIUI again. So i can't go into manual recovery. Maybe it's because i have still andriodiani recovery on the sdcard.
And what about crashing my phone with this app? Is it save already to use it ?

Is there any app tool to trace processes responsible for WiFi , to find out why there's no connection? Maybe i could paste log for some developers who would understand my Milestone MIUI case.
Update 29.01.

So only GOT 2.2.1 and official 2.1.
I have gingerbread on my evo 4g....
I'm in the process of trying to root my EVO solely to gain WIFI tethering access for my new TV.
I've read tutorials about rooting here and there over the past year but never felt like i quite got it, so i didn't do it. Well I decided to try it out with this guide:
it won't let me post the url, but it's the one on goodandevo for gingerbread
Everything went well with this process up until the Nandroid backup. I backed up I guess my current stock ROM?(although I don't know where to find it??) I then downloaded the "Wireless-N bug fix" rom and stuck it on my SD card. I then flashed it through my boot screen, then selected the zip......
and here is where i'm at:
1. booted into my phone, it looks completely unchanged(stock rom). HOWEVER, wifi antenna quit working.
2. i went into the boot screen and "s-off" shows so something worked?
3. when i try to install the wifi tethering, it says i'm not rooted.
OBVIOUSLY i'm doing something wrong. the article mentions Amon Ra Recovery as well as PC36IMG.zip and being the noob that i am as it relates to rooting, these mean nothing to me. any help is appreciated.
If you boot into recovery from the bootloader, do you see clockwork or a triangle and red ! ? If you see the latter, you have no recovery, and the amon_ra recovery can be found in the the development section [type it in the search], where you will get the PC36IMG and instructions on how to flash it. Then you can flash the zip in recovery. Also, if you download wireless tether from the market [free] you'll be set to tether.
i went into my bootloader and then recovery. the screen went to the "white HTC EVO" screen, then it loaded into a REVOLUTIONARY screen with this menu
-reboot system now
-apply update from sd card
-wipe data/factory reset
etc.
so you're saying a need the amon-RA and the pc36img.zip? will this fix the wifi antenna problem too? thx again for your help.

I believe the revolutionary is a form a clockwork and you CAN flash your wifi zip now, but you may get an error about amend scripting, ect. And amon_ra will be in the PC36IMG that you flash in the bootloader. From there, you will flash your zip, and you should be good.
i have now flashed 4.24.651.1-802.11n-fix-signed.zip twice from my REVOLUTIONARY recovery screen and it says it loaded successfully, but still won't load apps requiring root, AND wifi is still broken =(

The first part sounds like you don't have superuser installed, or the binaries didn't flash; it happened while I rooted a friend's thunderbolt.
1. download and install superuser from the market
2. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682828 < download and flash the second zip in recovery [the froyo/eclair]
3. go into the superuser app, tap settings, then hit update, and it should be working
And the wifi broke after you flashed the zip?
ok. i flashed the pc36img.zip file and updated. also then reflashed the 4.24.651.1-802.11n-fix-signed.zip and WIFI radio still isn't working??
super bummer

I would recommend restoring your original backup, because it seems that the zip file broke your wifi, that's when it stopped working correct? Or try flashing a new stock rooted rom of that same firmware and try it again, because I'm sure the wifi driver was under attack.

ok tech roxxx. thx. can i restore to my original rom after being rooted? i've never restored, how is that done? i went into bootloader and then recovery, then restore and chose nandroid restore. it said it couldn't find the file?
stuff is confusing sometimes.
also, now that i placed the pc36img.zip on sd root file, everytime i go into bootloader it ask's if i want to update. is it okay to move that file? delete it? what's the way of handing it, and any other zip files for that matter in the root sd?

Sorry, I had to run out. That would be he correct method to restore. Though to handle the PC36IMG, you can delete it, or rename it to somethign else like PC36IMG_amon, so you know what it is for future use, if you ever had to flash the recovery again.
still no wifi? i tried restoring but it said it couldn't find the file?
tried flashing a new radio, but it still won't start up the wifi?
You should have a folder on your sdcard for backup... Not sure what revolutionary calls it... But it has to be there unless you moved it or anything. The recovery looks for an exact folder with exact file names so if anything changed it won't work.
On the wireless n fix, you shouldn't have flashed that as I believe wireless n is already a part of gingerbread... May be wrong but I never had to flash it. All you will need is wifi tether app from market.
At this point you may have to do a full wipe and flash a new ROM, granted you will lose all your data. However you can flash the new Sprint update, which I am on now and it is quite smooth.
Be sure your contacts are backed up to Google. If you have apps you want backed up get Titanium backup. Emails and texts will be gone, though i'm sure there is a way i've never really cared.

Wipe everything in recovery except sdcard then flash the .zip you download from that link.
You will still have a mostly stock Evo but it's rooted with superuser already installed. Then get wireless tether app from the market.

thank you i'm her old man. i'm going to try what you've said now. i'll post back with results. as for my back up? i'm not sure where it went, and as long as it doesn't mess my phone up, i'm going to clean up my sd card a tad too. i don't think it will harm anything. never should have flashed that rom, goodandevo made it sound benign.
thanks again tho.
**UPDATE**
i downloaded titanium backup and i get an error that "superuser" has forced closed. something is a miss? i'm more than frustrated. i'm really not concerned with email's/contacts since they're all cloud based. what's the easiest way to get a clean root like what you have?? at this point i'd probably drive over my phone if someone said that's what it took....=/
in recovery it says:
wipe ALL usuerdata/factory reset
wipe cache
wipe dalvik-cache
wipe SDCARD (don't wipe this i right)
wipe boot
wipe system
wipe SDCARD (don't wipe this)
wipe SDEXT
wipe DATA: batttery
wipe DATA: rotate settings
i'm afraid to wipe "boot" and "system" those sound important. but i'm just doing what you've mentioned.

Yea you need those to boot into the system. Did you flash the rooted stock rom he linked you to, as that would be a quick fix.
Do wipe those they will be replaced when you flash the new ROM

i wiped them and it bricked my phone. luckily the manager at sprint was uber nice and gave me a replacement since i'd been a longtime customer.
i guess i have no business rooting my phone if i don't understand the process. i figured i'd root it now since evo 4g probably won't be getting anymore MAJOR android updates? but....maybe i should leave this one be.
are there any close to fail safe guides for "rooting for dummies?"
Revolutionary error message
Hello, I am new to the this forum. I did as the best I could to find a relevant forum to post this.
When I run revolutionary to root my HTC Evo 4G I get an error message that reads.
"Failed to communicate with existing ADB (Android Debugging Bridge) service"
I have the lastest SDK and everything downloaded.
Can anyone explain why this keeps happening? (Note: I am running this through vitualbox for windows 7 because my current OS is the windows 8 Developer preview and doesn't install the HTC drivers.
Any help on this would be very much appreciated. Thank you for your time

Rom Manager doesn't seem to know that I've got CWM installed. When I rooted and installed CWM I didn't do it through Rom Manager originally. Now CWM won't let me use it to manage my backups and keeps asking me if I want to install CWM? I've got Google Wallet installed so I'm a little nervous flashing things needlessly.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
edit: CWM v5.5.0.4
do you try "wipe cache" and "advanced->wipe dalvik cache?"
Thanks, I just tried, it took quite a while to clear the cache. When I booted up it went through a whole Optimizing Apps process, I'm not sure if that was due to wiping the dalvik cache? But it still didn't fix the Rom Manager issue.
Its probably not yet compatible if you have the touch version of cwm installed, so it wants to flash the standard one. Or you could always just let rom manager just reflash cwm overtop and then you may be good to go.

Maybe it can't detect it? I know we had to set which CWM version we had installed on the SGS.
Maybe try to run the install?

Flashing CWM over CWM shouldn't wipe my phone right? It's only the stock bootloader that requires a full wipe?
I installed ROM manager and then CWM via ROM manager last night and its CWM v5.5.0.2 which ROM manager thinks is the latest: perhaps it can't deal with 5.5.0.4 yet...

I have the exact same issue as this Rom Manager refuses to see I have CWM installed so just keeps telling me I need to install it it also can't download and flash its own version and just freezes after download
So any updates on this or more users experiencing it ?
I think I've found the solution. In ROM Manager tap the menu button at the top and then tap Manual Flash Override. Next it'll ask you if you've flashed CWM manually so tap OK because that's what we've done. Next pick which GN you have and then choose CWM 3.x+. There you have it, it should work now.
Don't use ROM Manager - problem solved!!
Seriously, though, it's a TERRIBLE piece of software
I'm fairly new to using it but it seems decent, why is it so terrible? I had an eris before this and did everything manually through recovery, this seems like it's a lot better than that.
It's just more trouble than it's worth. Why not just manually flash CWM using fastboot and get your head around that as opposed to an app which can - frankly - break things?
Flashing it via fastboot is what causes the above issue. Since you flash it manually rom manager can't see it, that's why I posted the above steps to kind of "force" rom manager to see the manually installed version.
But if you're not using ROM Manager then what's the issue? Copy ROM to SD card, reboot to recovery, flash ROM...where is ROM Manager needed in that equation?
If you're not using it then there is no issue, but this thread isn't about using it or not, it's about getting it to work with the galaxy nexus when you manually flash CWM.

And them acquire network connection, and then back to authorization. Is their something I could have done wrong in root? Is their something I can do to fix! Please help!
DROID DOES ....DROID X and DROID XYBOARD.
Explain your exact method you`re using to flash a rom and gapps in full detail. What wipes you are doing, everything from beginning to end. Maybe its just better off I tell you how?
1. Transfer rom.zip and matching gapps.zip to your sdcard in zip form. ( Matching gapps as in the correct one for Gingerbread ,ICS or Jelly Bean there`s one designed for each system)
2. When in recovery wipe factory reset , wipe cache , wipe dalvik , wipe system.
3. Flash rom.zip , flash gapps.zip , when done select reboot then system if prompted.
Do you believe you are missing any of these step? In this order? Bet you are.
Good luck
Edit: If gapps are included no need to flash them but sometimes when prebaked in you can experience mounting issues. This doesn`t sound like your problem sounds more like missed steps and a dirty flash.
Thank you sir. I am going to do it how you said. I am doing the wiping out of order. I am flashing using twrp recovery. It boots up it just really weird how the wifi wont work. If you dont mind if it does not work I will send you a PM. If that will be alright. Thank you again. I will try this tonight.
