WiFi - bcm4329.ko file?

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.

[Q] Random GPS shutdown

Hi Folks!
My younger brother has a Wildfire that´s developed a most annoying behavior.
When using Google Navigation the GPS connection gets lost on occation. Seemingly without reason whatsoever.
Most of the time restarting Google Navigation will suffice but once in a while a reboot is required.
The phone uses stock rom 2.22.405.1 and is not rooted.
A hard reset hasn´t been attempted but probably will at some point if nothing else helps.
However before resorting to that kind of heavy handed trouble solving i´d like to ask if anyone has had a similar issue and perhaps know of a possible fix?
Regards
ELO

Hi. This is something new, haven't heard about anyone having this problem. I dont know if this will work for sure but the most issues with GPS can be solved by re-flashing your radio. First create a NANDroid (Backup) Then download your specific radio, put it in the root of your memory card, go into Rom Manager, and click on
"Reboot into Recovery"
Then just flash the .zip file you downloaded.
Hope this helps!
Radios:
3.35.15.31
3.35.19.25
3.35.20.10

OP's phone is not rooted, so this is not applicable. I can't seem to think of anything than a factory reset and a reflashing of your ROM's RUU. but, hopefully you get your answer before that.

Oh sorry I didn't see that part. I thought he said that the phone IS rooted. Sorry

Hi guys!
Thanks for the input. As this issue hasn't crept up before I'm beginning to wonder if it might be a hardware malfunction. I'll suggest a hard reset and if that doesn't do the trick we'll try to get it fixed under warranty.
I'll report back for the result of the hard reset.

And another radio problem...

Hey guys,
I read quite a lot of posts about cm7.2.0 RC 1, the buzz and GPS troubles.
Oh yeah - the surprise: also my GPS doesn't work anymore. Last cyanogenmod version i used: 7.1 stable.
So i reflashed the radio. Source:
HTML:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Wildfire:_Support_Downloads
First i tried 3.35.20.10 then 3.35.19.25 because the first one(latest!?) didn't worked, second neither.
What else can I do?
cYa

What didn´t worked?
The install of the radio with an error in cwm or the gps in your phone when using an app after the re flashing the radio?
If it is the first one, use cwm 2.5.0.7 i belief (but i think u already done that)
If it is the second one, turn gps on or otherwise i dont know. Hope someone els can help u then.
Hazou

the gps itself...
but on the otherside, maybe both
I checked if the flashing of the latest version worked(cm settings), turned it on, but the gps didn't worked. then I flashed a older (one-step) version. actually don't know if it's older. it was the second of the list(link above).
but now the cm setting is telling me I have the same radio installed as I had before flashing anything?!
where can I find this cwm version?
-thanks for your answer!!

Try flashing a new radio by fastboot method.Flashing a new radio via CWM never worked for me,even with CWM v2.5.0.7.I flashed 3.35.19.25 and my GPS works perfectly.

So you turned the gps on and then? U started an app like maps or gps fix that will use the gps? If u don't there will be no gps icon in the status-bar.
But maybe the fastboot method works

Problem with GPS

Hello.
I have problem with GPS on my Wildfire. What's the problem ? The GPS doesn't work. I have flashed the radio but it's still doesn't work. Can you help me to solve this. My ROM is CyanogenMod 7.
I had similiar situation a few months ago, and I flashed Radio and it worked.
Please help me

Hi there
When activating GPS on your Wildfire on CM7 it doesnt show up in the status bar until you open an app like Google Maps to get your location.
You may not have a problem with your GPS but just cannot seem to find it i had the problem with mine when ifirst rooted.
To test if it is working download GPS Test from the Play store and when you open the app and turn GPS on the symbol for GPS should appear!
Hope i can help

Depends upon which version of CM7 you flashed. Some radio's work with a particular kernel and some don't.
Flash the correct radio it will work.

Or just try to flash another kernel
For me it works fine with latest radio and nFinity kernel on CM7.2

Try to flash another kernel. Sometimes kernels are involved in malfunction of services like GPS or WiFi. If that doesn't work, reflash the radio but make sure that you don't have a custom mtd partition. If you do, revert the mtd size back to stock and then reflash the radio. I had the same problem with you and tried to reflash the radio but it didn't work because i had custom mtd partitioning.

I had the same problem
Someone suggested me the AGPS patch.. it worked for me..
In fact its a charm..

Just as a hint: you can also find all the Wildfire stuff in The complete Wildfire index (partly with short descriptions)
You could also flash a new/different radio with Clockworkmod but you'd need Clockworkmod 2.5.x for that, newer versions won't do.
I also knew of other people who flashed the "older" radio and got it to work. The aGPS patch is just a speed improvement - if your gps.conf isn't corrupted accidentially it won't help if GPS doesn't work at all

Rather than trying to install any CWM flashable GPS fix.zip, go to the Play store and install FasterGPS:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ult#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsIm9yZy5mYXN0ZXJncHMiXQ..
It is working great for me on my CM 7 install on Wildfire S. I get 9-10 locks in 10-15 seconds.
Good Luck!

If his GPS doesn't work at all I doubt this will help.
Just for clarification: radios aren't just flashable GPS fixes they're the lowest system layers on your phone and responsible for more than just GPS.

for improving GPS lock speed you don't need an app. I just replaced my gps.conf with the same result (link in my sig)

If "GPS doesn't work at all" means that it doesn't lock successfully, then it is the same state that I was experiencing with CM 7. FasterGPS worked for me that is why I suggested it. No harm in giving it a try anyways.
Yes I know, FasterGPS doesn't do anything else rather than replacing the default gps.conf. The app isn't such a feature-rich app rather it just simply allows tweaking some gps.conf parameters. And it backups your original gps.conf in case you want to un-install it.

of course. Since this was his first and only post and he didn't answer to one of the responses for about a month I guess we won't find out what exactly "don't work" means
Regarding FasterGPS: one of the reasons I rooted my phone has been to gain more RAM, space and control. Anytime I have an easier way to adjust settings than to use an app I'll try to do so as this saves space - but this is just my personal opinion and I've also used apps to adjust only one tiny setting in the phone - luckily if we own a rooted device we can decide ourselves.

[Q] Recover to stock

Currently my phone cannot boot up, get's stuck at the HTC white screen. I am trying to follow the directions here but I'm having some trouble. I can get into the recovery screen and by doing so it automatically starts loading the PG32IMG.zip file but does not do anything after that and I am unsure how to proceed. So far I have tried installing the .zip using the ClockworkMod Recovery but when I attempt to do so it says it can't open and just says (bad), installation aborted. Currently it is S-ON and I do not know if I can change it to S-OFF if I cannot boot it up. Right now I am waiting for the download to finish for this guide and I will hopefully be able to switch it but in the meantime if anyone has any ideas I would certainly like to hear from you.

yes. I managed to root it last night and was attempting to add this rom this morning. I don't remember what steps I took exactly (I knew I should have written it down!) and now it refuses to boot up. I am able to get into the recovery mode and access the SD card by mounting it to my PC but that's it.

So you are HTC dev unlocked but not s-off if I'm understanding correctly. The flashing steps are a little different. You need to look around for flashing instructions for dev unlocked phones. I believe the Viper rom thread has the instructions, and they work for any rom.

Yes, his install instructions from that OP are:
Be s-off (or dev unlock)
Install a custom recovery (twrp/4ext)
Download the ROM and place it on your external SD card.
Do a nandroid backup!
Start rom install process and make sure you select to wipe data in aroma
Select your desired setup in aroma, and finish
Reboot the device and enjoy!
If you are dev unlock, you need to pull the boot.img from the rom zip and fastboot it in hboot
I'm not dev unlock, so I've never actually done this, which is why I'm not being more specific. The boot.img is already in the zip you downloaded for the rom.
If you look in this thread, the phone is different, but the flash steps should be identical according to my understanding:

my apologies, I had originally attempted to install this ROM. I thought I had followed the directions to the letter, obviously I screwed up somewhere. I then attempted to perform a factory reset from the ClockworkMod Recovery which yielded no results. I then attempted the Viper ROM, again wiping the data and that said installation was successful. Still it refused to boot. I then tried this return to stock and with that, the .zip folder is automatically loaded but then does nothing. As of right now I cannot get past the HTC screen.

Well don't panic first of all. It's not super easy for me to figure out what's going on because your setup is quite different from mine, but I'm willing to offer any knowledge I have gleaned from reading these forums (a lot).
When you tried to go to stock, you went to the bootloader and it found the PG32IMG? Or it just stayed on the options screen of reboot, recovery, factory reset, etc?
If it found the PG32IMG did it give you any messages? Did you check the md5 sum before trying to load it?

haha too late for that, I'm already freaking out. It does find the PG32IMG automatically as I said and proceeds to load it. I was able to catch the message it flashes before it goes back to the default list, "wrong zipped image!" That doesn't sound good. I had not checked the md5sum prior to this, just did so now, says the codes do not match. Pardon my utter cluelessness but what on earth does that mean?

You need to post the md5 sum from the return to stock thread, it is right below the download. If it doesn't match after that, you have a bad download and need to download it again on a good connection. I can't see the md5 very well in your screenshot, but it looks like it is correct. Then the other thing to check is that windows didn't add an extra .zip to the file name. You'll have to go into folder options and make it show known file types then see if it says it is PG32IMG.zip.zip or something. I'll keep looking around to help, but I'd suggest reading through a lot or all of that return to stock thread.
Is the file in the root of your microsd or in a different folder like downloads?

Ok I corrected myself with the md5sum checker and now it confirms the codes match. I then doubled checked the file extension and it looks good as far as I can tell, I did not see a double .zip.zip anywhere, even after I selected "show file extensions of known files". I just tried again and got the same message,
"Checking....[PG32IMG.zip]

Well, I'm running out of ideas. Hopefully someone else can chime in. I'd try downloading again and make sure the md5 is good, put it on the root of the microsd, and try one more time. Other than that my knowledge is spent.

well I certainly appreciate you trying to help anyways. just on a hunch I tried running through the steps of the HTCdev bootloader which I had originally done and after doing so, it now says the following,
"Main Version is older!
Update Fail!
Press <POWER> to reboot."
that is interesting, should I try the VIPER ROM again and see what happens now?

Well I am happy to report now I have figured it out! I managed to find this video and by following his steps, I was immediately able to get the Viper ROM up and running. So I guess that is what I was doing wrong, trying to follow the S-Off Method when I had already gone halfway with the HTCDev method. Very glad I was able to get it done tonight, another case of "if I can break it, I can fix it!" case closed.
