Hey I have a desire Z and my logcat says that the Wifi driver isnt loading. I want to replace it with one that works so my wifi actually turns on.
If you have a bcm4329.ko for the desire z could you please let me know?
Thanks
Isn't that file subject to the kernel you're running? Or are you stock and just looking for the stock bcm file also?

Yeah I think it is normally part of a kernel but I cant seem to get this damn wifi to work no matter what I do, so I was thinking if anyone had one of the files kicking around I would just ADB overwrite the old one and see if it works.
Try flashing one of the kernels in my signature -- they both include a corresponding WiFi driver.

Really have no more ideas to fix my wifi.
you can always jus download a rom and go to the folder where its located and take it out and push it in your phone instead of waiting for some one

I tried that too and it didn't do anything. Im really pulling at straws. Is there a program to test to make sure the hardware is actually good?
Im sure you done this already but some one is bound to ask, so ask now.
have you tried to wipe
and reflash the rom your using and try it again,

Yep, tried that twice. I even went back to stock between the reload.
One time I flashed it using the PC10IMG method and the other I used Clockwork (rom manager).
I really have no idea where to go at this point. I think I've exhausted all my ideas. Ive tried reflashing roms, kernels, and radios.
Was hoping someone had some diagnostic software that would test the hardware of the phone or something so at least then I would know if my actual hardware for the WiFi and Bluetooth was shot or not.
Thanks anyways.
Wow, I forgot about this thread over the weekend
Anyway, have you tried changing the permissions for the file? You can use 'fix permissions' in ROM Manager or clockwork or use Root Explorer to change the permissions. Of course if you're a terminal kind of guy you can chmod it.
Sometimes the permissions don't set correctly or, on some systems running linux, the permissions get changed for some reason. Maybe that's what's going no here, sounds like it anyway. Btw, make sure to reboot after changing the permissions because it won't work until you do.
has anyone fixed this issue where wifi stops working?
wifi not turning ON
Hello Everyone,
During the process of getting IP address from WiFi network, I received a "Error Massage" on my Alcatel OT-990. After this massage, WiFi started behaving abnormally. Sometimes it turned ON another time it did not. Now after a few weeks later, WiFi is not turning ON at all.
I have Tried following Solutions but nothing worked:
1. Did factory reset, erased system, cache etc and Flashed different ROMs (JB ot 990, ICS QME, QLTsar, 2.3.4, Telenor One touch 4.0.04) using Recovery many a times(From different Sources).>>Problem not solved
2. Updated my phone using alcatel update manager to 2.3.4>>> Problem not solved
3. Tried by changing permissions of BCM4329.KO, wpa_supplicant.confg etc every file related to wifi/wlan>>Problem not solved
4. Used WiFix Manager>>>Problem not solved.
Bluetooth and FM radio working all right.
If anybody knows about its solution ..please help me out.
I HAVE SEARCHED FOR THE PAST HOUR PLEASE DON'T HATE!!!! I ALWAYS SEARCH WHICH IS WHY MY POST COUNT IS LOW!!!
K so here is my issue was installing an app and it just rebooted in the middle of the install and is now stuck in a bootloop on the white htc evo 4g screen but can still access the bootloader. have already tried flashing a pc36img.zip still nothing. if anyone can help i would greatly appreciate it. and also can't access recovery.
Thanks in advance!!!
UPDATE:NO FIX!!!!!!!! guy at sprint repair store said to file a claim and get a new one, also said say it was lost since it was rooted.
What Rom were u on?

If you can access the bootloader then you are not bricked. If you can get into recovery then the first thing that you should try is to wipe the Cache and Dalvik Cache. If that does not work then something in your data partition may be messed up. The next step would be to wipe Data. You will lose all of you system settings and data by doing this and you will have to reconfigure your accounts and install all of your apps again. If you have a backup (using MyBackup or Titanium) you can restore that just be sure not to restore any system settings that were from a different ROM.

Can you access fastboot usb on your phone (volume down +power buttons at the same time, then power button again on FASTBOOT)? If so, plug your phone to your computer and see what driver you have installed in the device manager from your computer's control panel, under Android Devices.

Try this PC36IMG file on your SD card, maybe it will work, or maybe not.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/38127313/Root 2.2/PC36IMG.zip
or try running a RUU file from your computer with your phone in Fastboot USB. One can be found here:

I'm not sure if it will work on a macbook.
will give those a try and maybe i can find a windows machine soon but at least i still have my hero as a back up

wasn't doing anything out of the norm. had just flashed the runnymede beta that morning and decided to keep a few days so i ran my restore from titanium backup and in the middle of the install of one of the apps it did a random reboot and been stuck ever since.
one thing i haven't been able to try is a ruu, has to i haven't got a windows machine to run it on yet.
If anyone has the fastboot binaries for mac and can share it i would greatly appreciate it. it seems all the links im finding for it is now sending me to the new htcdev.com site.

Thanks for that link. i did finally get fastboot to recognize my evo on my mac but when i try flashing or erasing anything it say failed(status malformed)
Aso had no luck with tha RUU cant get it to connect to my device what do i need to do to get it to even run (somewhat of a noob question)
You've got to put the ruu on your SD card, as PC36img.zip

did you do a google search for what that meant?
So I've been into flashing ROMs for a week now and whenever I am installing a AOKP based ROM I have troubles with nework and data. I have to manually look and register on a network after ticking the "2g only option" and I have to do this after every reboot.
Also I manually enter the APN settings and I am not able to save it on any on the AOKP based ROMs so far (Tripdroid, ICJ, CM10 etc.)
I don't know whats wrong. Am I missing something? I also tried getRIL after flashing a new ROM and installing a new RIL but nothing seems to wor.
Any help?
Edit: I am not having such problems with SENSE based ROMs like ARHD Viper etc. And I am on T-Mobile USA
Anyone?

Just tried it. Still not working. Can't save APN settings as before and again if I reboot i have to manually look for mobile network.
Hmm then i am very sorry , I can't give you the answer as my knowledge is not going that far .....
I think you should post this in the thread of the rom because it's rom based.
I have numerous times but no one replies!
Thats pretty f**ked up I can't think of anything anymore, sorry mate !
No worries, I'm here!
Okay, let's begin from a clean table. Wipe everything you can: first cache and dalvik, and finally tap "wipe/factory reset"
When you install ROM, try another nightly than on previous attempts. It might be a bad download or an issue with that particular build.
Next the boot.img. First try the pure modded boot.img, I've attached it once again. Then you could try repacking it with the stock boot (in the rom.zip) here. Wipe cache once again. Now if you did everything correctly, the APN settings should persist.
Then some questions before you do anything with the phone:
Can you see PIN-code query?
Does WiFi work?
Can you make calls?
Signal meter is pure grey with no bars visible?
Then set up your APN like you did before and that should be that. Reboot to see if the network is found, and if the settings persist.
If, however, that doesn't do the trick, use getRIL.
Some people reported that they get no signal on the recommended RIL, so I suggest you to try out every RIL in the list that is even remotely close to the recommended. Reboot between different RIL's.
Also some people reported that the latest getril does not work. Disable playstore automatic updates, remove getril and the install versionv0.9.4b.
Hope this helps!
See that's why you are needed in here !

Thank you! I tried the modded boot.img file yesterday. And just now I flashed back to stock after trying Ice Cold Jelly. managed to get the right RIL version with GetRIL. But again when I reboot I have to manually register on my network and as always I can't save my APN settings. I really like these ROMs but they never work on my phone

You have problems even on stock ROM? That's odd. It could even be hardware.

I have no problems on stock at all. Even Sense based ROMs. I only have this problem on AOKP ROMs like ICJ, CM10 etc. I will try the app but how can I backup and restore APN when I can't save an APN at all. Can I restore in a new ROM after backing it up on Stock?
Edit: Ok I get how the app works. Will try it out
Sorry, I didn't quite catch that phrase. And about backing up stock and then restoring in a custom ROM... only one way to find out.

Boot into fastboot and type "fastboot erase cache" then flash the recovery.
Try it with both CWM and TWRP.

I tried this but it still wouldn't boot into recovery. I then tried installing an older version on TWRP and finally it booted properly. I was looking through it and something caught my eye. MY ENTIRE INTERNAL STORAGE WAS WIPED!!! I have no idea how this happened!! I tried restoring from my sd card but it couldnt mount /data. Would adb sideloading a ROM work do you think?

It may or may not. Or if it flashes, you might not be able to mount any data partitions or cache.
Try connecting to a PC, and formatting the internal storage with Device Manager.

Last time i couldn't mount /data i just rebooted into recovery and let it sit for a day then it was fine... when I'm about to try to reboot into recovery though it says "no OS installed, are you sure you want to reboot?" will it be safe to reboot?
I hope you get your issues sorted soon. Don't know what i can contribute to help you achieve that. You seem to have more issues than one, but i like to give you one tip and that is to stay in one thread only. I seen you around now in multiple threads and its getting confusing on your actual status. Please don't take this the wrong way, it's very well ment advice

Thanks for your help. You answered many of my questions and were very patient with my questions. I regret to say though that my phone is now bricked. Only bootloader will show up, recovery is a black screen and so is bootup. This wouldn't be so bad if my /data is still corrupted after everthing i tried and no computer will recognize my device. I will come back to xda when I actually know what I'm doing and when my phone isn't as valuable. Thanks again for all your help.
Not sure if this is a similar issue or not but I had some issues getting into recovery after doing Sunshine S-Off today. Had TWRP installed and working fine, but after doing the s-off exploit I would see the recovery screen for a split second before the phone would reboot normally again.
Even running fastboot boot recovery.img to run it directly wasn't working.
However, downloaded and installed CWM instead and all is fine again. Phew

Its not bricked if the screen comes on. I sincerely think we can get this thing back up and running. A phone that doesn't work isn't "valuable" so you might as well keep at it.
Delete all HTC drivers, and connect the phone to a PC. Go to Device Manager, select the option to manually select drivers, and select the generic Android MTP device.

Looks like you solved it. But did you mean you were going to replace the phone? That shouldn't ever be necessary just due to software mods you did, as long as the screen comes on. I've seen only one exception so far, where several users here helped the user exhaust every possible fix to the memory not being mountable and nothing worked, and it might have been a fried emmc chip or similar hardware fault. In your case, I still had plenty of hope, as there were still several options that were not tried.

No OS is a known issue for some folks on TWRP. It is puzzling, since it only seem to affect some people. TWRP was pretty rock solid and reliable on my past device, so its a bit disheartening to see it appears to be considerably more buggy on the M8.
So is the phone fully up and running, no issues mounting memory?

Hi everyone,
I have an issue with my wife's OP3 that is driving me nuts.
Her phone runs stock OS without any changes but with an unlocked bootloader (just to be on the safe side i like to have an unlocked bootloader on all our devices).
I'm not sure if its related but I'm including it anyways she was playing a game on her phone and then she received a call and she answered it and tried to switch the call to speakerphone and the phone started rebooting right after booting the OS after 2-5 sec i would say "factory data reset" (see attached screenshot) and would reboot to the recovery.
then i would boot the phone again and the issue repeats itself.
so i used fastboot boot twrp.img to boot a recovery image and run a nadroid backup to a USB OTG just in case the phone is really hosed or whatnot.
I downloaded stock zip from oneplus's site and flashed it again from TWRP just to make sure its not some funky issue that happened to the os.
I even factory reset the phone from stock recovery and the issue would happen on the new phone setup wizard.
after a bunch of fiddling around I've flashed LineageOS 16 nightly and the phone boots normally and is fully usable but when i try to make or receive a call the phone app freezes and then crashes also sound doesn't seem to work when i try to play videos from youtube for example.
Any ideas what is the issue and how i can resolve it ?
thanks a bunch !!

Take a backup of your personal files and then wipe system, data, internal storage and both caches. Then flash OOS 5.0.8 and without adding any apps, check the calling function. If it still happens, then most likely a hardware issue.

I didnt find a solution yet i gave her a temp replace phone that we had in a drawer somewhere.
Did your wife do anything out of the ordinary when it happened? are you having the same issue that LOS works but stock rom shows factory reset?
thanks.

No, She did not do anything out of the ordinary. But weirdly I have exactly the same things happening. Lineage works but no sound. Everything else factory resets. I have tried quite a few ROM'swithout any luck. So far the only ROM which worked for some time(1day) was 6.0.1 . I have spent quite a long time on this flashing various ROM and dont know what to do now.

Update: @ireaper4592 might have a point here. I have gone one level up and I tried msm v3.0 tool, thus doing a complete reinstall including firmware. The factory resetting stopped but the sound was not working (I thought that it could be the ROM and the security patches). So I updated to the latest ROM available from Oneplus and evrything has been working since. I did this last night so not sure how long this is going to stay like that. I will give it some time and update later. Wife is using it now!
what you will need to do is download the oneplus 3 recovery tool and put the phone into qualcolm mode and restore the phone that way. here is a link https://www.androidexplained.com/oneplus-3-unbrick-return-stock/

its really good to know.
did you have to wipe the internal storage for this process to work ?
Do you have a guide that you've used to get this working?
Thanks in advanced.

That tool/procedure will reset your phone. So you will lose everything on the phone. Take a backup beforehand.
The link posted in the post above yours contains the guide as well as the tools. It also has links to the original guide here on XDA.

I cant believe it i was sure this was a hardware issue which ended up being a software one that the MSM tool fixed.
When I have a few minutes to spare i'll write a full post on how I ended up resolving it with step by step instructions and how I did it without any dataloss.
Thank you for all your help!

I was about to update here with good news but wife's phone went back to restart loop the next day. I am not sure but probably triggered by her installing whatsapp and facebook. I put the phone away because I have already spend quite a lot of time behind this. Is your's still going? Please list the step by step procedure. Thanks
