Make sure its not named zip.zip
Where are you getting the file from, and what version?
May need to backup your sd to a computer, format the sd fat32, and then copy the files back.

Try it on a different sd card, with nothing else on it. For some reason, that's the only way I can flash radios and splashscreens, but it works. Make sure it's FAT32 format.

The cell radio and wifi are 2 seperate things, and wifi has its own antenna. Wifi is part of the kernel, try a different one. Also most wireless routers have a output power setting as to how far the signal goes, make sure that is up all the way. Do other devices connect with good signals upstairs?

I know my Inc's WiFi isn't super great for me on my second floor, although my Rezound does just fine. Inc is on Abduction ICS with the newest Incredikernel, and I use the Rezound Incredikernel on my Rezound.
Doesn't bother me much as I just use it as an mp3 player/alarm clock, but just my two cents.
I suspect the WiFi radio in the Inc isn't spectacular...but being upstairs should get you better cell service. You could also look into a Wifi Access Point and extend your network.

Sent from my HTC Droid Incredible using xda premium
Turning up the transmit power "all the way" is the last thing you should do. First off you will piss off your neighbors using wifi. Second, transmitting from the router at high power will do NOTHING if your phone cannot transmit back with EQUAL effectiveness. What you should try is MOVING the wifi router to a better location. Preferably up high, not blocked by metal objects. Wifi signals work best when the source and destination operate in the same general plane, e.g. the same floor of a house. If the wifi router is on the 2nd floor and your phone is on the 1st floor the closer you get "under" the router, the worse your signal (especially for high gain antennas). Most routers come with a 2 or 3 dB gain antenna. These have pretty good vertical beam width, meaning the angle up and down that they transmit and receive is fairly wide. This is good for multi floor homes. The price you pay for all that vertical coverage is less distance. If you are going for distance, and you have removable antennas, a 7 or 9 dB gain will allow the wifi router to not only have a higher effective radiating power (without adjusting any internal setting), but it will allow it to RECEIVE weaker signals from farther away. Again, the price you will pay for extra range is LESS vertical beam width. That means if you are close to the router, if you move up and down (vertically) too much, you will start to loose signal quickly. So, a high gain antenna is good if you are a house width away and on the same floor, but BAD if you are on different floors (you will be outside the vertical beam width).
Hope that helps.

Very interesting. So i have a Linksys E3000 router and it has no external antennas. It can sit flat or be wall mounted. Which position would get the signal to spread out the farthest but still work good up close too?
Related
I can't seem to get a decent wifi signal unless i'm actually standing near the router (and even then it's 2 bars at most). I doubt it's the router (cisco linksys e2000) since my iphone and pc have no trouble staying connected while being further away. I remember having a better connection when i was using the stock rom (cm7.3 atm) so i'm guessing there's something i need to fix but im not really sure what's wrong and was hoping someone could drop some knowledge on me.

Hi there, This issue can be caused by a mismatched ROM and radio, each radio and ROM work together with a specific RIL (radio interface library) which can be flashed through recovery or CWM. You may find that the recommended radio for your ROM and the correct RIL could solve your problems.
The wifi signal on DHD is poor while comparing to other phones, I wish that we could modify its strenght.
Through a wooden wall and about 4-5 metres away the signal is around 65dBm, which is ok, but as soon as I move slightly so the the signal is going throught diagonally it drops to 80dBm instantly. That's only moving very slightly.
In my sig you can see what I'm using and so far that's the best combo I've found for a decent signal.

Since receiving the 1.29 builds (.11 this morning) I've noticed the One X's wifi performance to be seriously sub-par. My home Wifi AP (a Cisco WAP4410N) is in the next room to me and yet the Wifi indicator on the One X status bar shows only the dot (no bars) and Wifi Analyzer (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.farproc.wifi.analyzer&hl=en) shows a signal strength of about -90 dBm (very close to disconnecting). My Galaxy Nexus by comparison (placed beside the One X) shows between -50 dBm and -60 dBm... (my iPhone 4 never drops below two bars and seems to hold a strong signal wherever I go in the house).
Is this similar to others experience? Something's seriously at fault here, it's so bad I'm thinking of switching back to the Galaxy Nexus...

Same here - got 129.401.11 this morning and wifi indicator now seems 2 bars less than before the update. In fact wifi has now totally dropped off despite my netbook having 4 bars in the same place.
Is it possible to rollback out of this update as I was having no issues before the update?
I've had a hox from 3 since day one. The original 3 software had this bug, the updated 3 software had this bug and now I'm on the latest Arhd 6.0 wifi is slightly improved but still much worse than my wife's gnex my pc and our laptop.

Hi - does settings-privacy-"backup my settings" and "automatic restore" keep all my settings, including the general phone settings and app settings?
I've never done a factory reset on a HTC and don't want to root so Titanium backup isn't an option. Thanks.
I've had the same issue with mine since day 1 with no real improvement through ROM upgrades. I tried the same test with my Asus Transformer side by side with the One X and from about 5 meters from the router but still in direct view of it I got -50dbm on the TF and -90dbm on the HOX
I also get times when the the radio won't reconnect after losing signal requiring the Aircraft mode switch to reset the radio.
All very sub standard and now really wish I'd got an unbranded phone so I could get latest OTA's

Yes, tried that numerous times. Most of the times it was on Best Wifi, but didn't help.
Yes, I had best wi-fi on before and still have it enabled but it still seems to be a fair bit worse after this s/w upgrade.
I have the same problem last week after my 1.29 update, what i did was to switched my wifi router off and after a few seconds switched it on again, after i did that, i got a full bar again, hope this help.
The problem I'm seeing is that the wifi seems really erratic - it can show full bars or no bars with the phone in the same place and Wifi-Analyzer shows the signal to be weaker than I'd expect and compared to other devices in the same location.
All you have to do to make wifi better after update is factory reset works perfect

I'm doubtful. It seems it's hardware related.
Try squeezing the back top left of the phone and watch the wifi improve before your eyes.
A loose connection seems the most likely fault. It's send back time I'm afraid

Same here. Signal strength improves dramatically when gentle pressure is applied on the top left then drops away completely when released before returning to a weak signal state. Not something that a software update will resolve. Disappointed to have to return this otherwise flawless phone.
Gnex comes with dual frequency WIFI radios 2.4GHz and 5.0 GHz, when active are known to interfere each other's signal causing problems. Stuff is abit technical, but bottom line is its better to operate in a single spectrum then both at the same time, which most WIFI router don't do.
Fix is to run wifi at a single spectrum either 2.4 or 5, for me i stick-ed with 2.4 (as i was not sure enabling 5GHz would turn on both) and it resolved over-heating near back camera.
Another advanced thing could be done, that is to avoid interference of other routers, near your router. google for softwares to scan nearby WIFI, see what channels they are using and set your router to use some other channel to kill any interference.

by the way i personally use friendcaster not facebook
There are routers that broadcast both 2.4GHz and 5GHz signals, they are called concurrent dual band routers, but i will give your method a go, will report back later.
Just tried, fixed the heating problem
Shot from my Galaxy Nexus
What "over-heating near back camera" is there to begin with? I know it can get a little warm next to the camera, especially on heavy 3G data use, but nothing is overheating. Overheating for me is when the heat gets too much causing problems like instability and crashes. But other than a slightly warm battery door there is no such thing on my phone. My Galaxy S and Moto Milestone showed the same behavior so it's nothing I worry about.

Same with me. My phone sees both WIFI connections but I prefer the 2.4 gHz over the 5 gHz. Never had a overheating problem. I'll take the OPs advice though just to be safe.
Hello,
A friend of mine has the GNEX, and he complains about overheating problem "specially using 3G & facebook app". The interesting part is, he didn't only mention the back-near-camera spot, he also says that it's getting overheated from the front "Top screen part".
Shall he worry about it? Maybe send it to maintenance to check?

i think it keeps scanning/refreshing available networks.
Over Heating
My signal kept disappearing when I was sitting at home phone on desk.
I picked it up and it wasn't hot so I thought to install a signal booster app
which I should of new better they really dont work anyways. I ran the app
and it started over heating so bad that the screen was changing color.
I uninstalled app and rebooted and its fine now. So I beleive it will overheat
scanning for networks.

5 Ghz frequencies are much better to transfer large files over wireless, streaming hd movies and the like. Plus, the channels it operates on are less crowded than the traditional 2.4 Ghz. More info on Google.

Yes, 5ghz has a faster transfer speed than 2.4ghz.
I'm on the official JB ROM and have noticed that my device's wifi signal is very low (1 to 2 bars at most) inside the house.
Is there a fix to make the signal stronger or maybe a custom ROM or radio that has stronger wifi?
Thanks in advance for your replies.
U could increase signal strenght using dd-wrt on ur router. Maybe that could help..
I had an iPhone the last two years and with the same router the signal was full all around the house. I really like this device and hope to find a solution.
the wifi antenna is on the bottom half of the phone, hold it at the top and youll see a big improvement. iphone is at the top middle
I also read some time ago that the Nexus show you the "true" signal streangth whilst other devices/manufacturers programs the software to show more bars just the please the costumers eyes. So even though it might look less on a Nexus the actuall speed remains the same as other phones. Don't know if this is true but i like to believe it is

It's a relief if it's true, but I think the problem is there. In the same distance around the house I had signal with the iPhone 4 where GN has none.
I happen to get low bars too, not a lot but I get hella fast downloads than my previously droid incredible. I can download a 100mb file in about 15-25 seconds.
My droid incredible took around 50 seconds to a minute. So I do praise whatever they did to the WiFi performance or it could be the ROM lol..

No, this has much better wifi than the Nexus 4. The Nexus 4 has wifi driver issues.

Yeah it's called the WiFi signal indicator in the top right of your screen. Not trying to be an ass, but that's what its there for.
