I used Samsung GS3 Toolkit to root my phone and now my wifi wont turn on. I do believe I know what problem is and am wondering best way to fix. I could not find my build so I used 4.1.1 instead. Well I had just got OTA to finally work to install 4.1.2 before and thought I would try it anyway. Today I found the update for the toolkit and tried to flash it and still no wifi. I am probably not doing something right in procedure. Any ideas?

I just got an HTC evo from cellular trendz, and i tryed to update it to the new upgrade but it says there is no updrage available. Im on V 2.2 right now?
Should i just root my phone to get it or is there another way around it?
bumping this, still not updating for me
Just root the evo, then you can flash any froyo/gingerbread/ICS rom you want.
My phone works fine, no need to root it right now.
My main problem with rooting is that the GPS wont work
Rooting doesn't break gps
Sent from my Synergized Evo with aggressive Freedom using the XDA app
Absolutely no need for him to root if he doesn't want to.
Are you sure the phone is running on the sprint network? If so, it should definitely find the 2.3 update when you go to update HTC software. If not, you can always download a stock RUU and run that.
I tried downloding the stock and flashing that through recovery.iu...but it says my device is not recognized? My phone is activated through sprint and everything on the phone works fine

Rooted my samsung moment, actually all 3 of them and the GPS stopped working on me.
I rooted the EVO last night, put the new OTA 2.3.3 Gingerbread on it.
Never occurred to you that the Moment and the Evo are two different phones?? lol
Should have used my ROM on the Moment. GPS worked fine
I bought a phone on eBay to use on the Ting (Sprint) network. It is a used Samsung Galaxy S3 running Android 4.0.4 which I thought was strange as I know the S3 has been updated past this. So I started looking around and I found a program called SuperUser which has root options, then I found a file called TeamEpic-Root-from-Recovery-v5(1).zip in the root of the phone. There is a firmware update available but when I try to apply it a screen comes up which says installation aborted (I can get more info if needed on this).
I have been using Android phones for years and never been interested in rooting. I'm worried that I will not be able to activate this phone on July 8 when I can get out of my Verizon contract. And I'm concerned that I won't be able to update it past 4.0.4.
Could anyone advise how I can get this back to stock? Thanks in advance.

Can't apply OTA update if it has custom recovery such as TWRP or CWM. Has to have stock Samsung recovery. You can try this post-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1904099. Follow instructions very carefully. This should do the trick to get you back unrooted, with stock recovery, and updated firmware to MD4.

Look in the Android Development section and there is a ROM Restore so you can restore to unrooted stock
Thank You!!

Starting with your link and checking some basic firmware flashing instructions I was able to get it back to stock. The counter is reset and it says it is genuine samsung After doing this it then updated to JB. Happy now, thanks so much for the help.
Hello... I recently bricked my phone. I was running MrRobinsons root injected Bell ROM on my sasktel S3 (radio wouldn't work with the sasktel rom)... Everything was going great for months.... I had xposed framework installed and all was fine.... Had the Wanam Exposed module installed and the visual tweaks worked good too... I had the STATUS changed to OFFICIAL as it was showing custom (didn't think nothing of it just thought it was kewl I could change it cosmetically)....
So the KNOX counter was tripped so I couldn't install anything OTA... no big deal.... But when the update came out from sasktel for my phone it offered to update to Kitkat 4.4.2... I was shocked lol.... So I installed the update knowing I would lose root, but I wanted to try out Kitkat....
Everything seemed to work OK... Downloaded... Installed... Rebooted.... Had some errors (root access not granted)... I then Rebooted my phone.... Screen went black.... And that is where it sits.... No response to anything I do... Doesn't power on... Doesn't go into recovery MODE or download mode, doesn't even show if the battery is charging.... I bought a USB jig to try to get into download mode... That didn't work... Tried plugging into computer but gives driver error "QHSUSB_DLOAD".... Aside from replacing the board inside or sending away to get it jtag'd .... Is there anything else I could try? I'm assuming I screwed it up by trying to update a BELL rom with a sasktel update.... Any help or advice would be tremendously appreciated... Thank you
I'm not desperate to have it fixed as I replaced it with an S4 but wanted it for a spare or for my kids....

If the Jig isn't working, Jtag might be your your cheapest option.
I think the error happened cause you didn't remove root prior to flashing the update. That being said, it shouldn't have even let you install it while rooted.
Yeah... I know... Every time I checked for update before it said system had been modified and wouldn't allow it....
Then when the option to update popped up I was kind of shocked.... But figured I would OTA and reroot after if I wanted... Didn't think I would brick it, but sasktel update on a bell rom wasn't good I guess... Wasn't even thinking about that aspect hehe..
Is there anywhere reliable to send away to get it jtag'd?

Hi- I'm an apologetic noob
Just got a sprint galaxy s6, activated it (all seemed to work), then rooted it with cfautoroot. Flashed via ODIN the CF-Auto-Root-zerofltetmo-zerofltetmo-smg920t.tar (which i guess is the t-mobile one).
Unfortunately, somehow wifi was lost-- it seems to turn on, but just keeps searching and never finds any networks (there are plenty near me). Phone and bluetooth seem to work fine.
I had read that there would likely be problems with deep sleep after root, so i thought the wifi might be part of it, and i tried to flash proactively G920PVPU1AOCF_G920PSPT1AOCF_G920PVPU1AOCF_HOME.tar.md5
that just lost me root access, but didn't restore wifi.
so i reflashed the CF-autoroot.
Now it says i have
android version 5.0.2
and baseband version g920pvpu1a0cf
hardware version g920p02
am rooted again
but wifi is still lost
It may be because of my efforts to 'restore' from TiBu (possibly because also of things like xposed framework which doesn't work with touchwiz)
anyway- can anyone help a clueless noob?
(sorry if in wrong section)
thanks
lost wifi after root
sorry- i meant lost wifi after root, not wifi radio

Safe route is to flash the stock tar through Odin. Then try to root again.

thanks so much for the reply
didn't work unfortunately
i just re-flashed the only stock i see available (via sammobile) from here
xxx (the sammobile site- it won't let me post link) /firmwares/database/SM-G920P/
wasn't any wifi back even without root. rooting didn't change it.
is there another 'stock' somewhere?
Solution?.... hard factory reset
so
i finally essentially gave up and tried a hard factory reset which erased all data.
the good news is wi-fi reappeared. I will try to root again and hope it was just a glitch in the process.
wish me luck, thanks for the help, and I hope my experience helps someone else.
One week ago I got sprint model (sm-g920p) used for one week with 0 problems,i decided to update marsmhallow 6.0.1 PB6.
I wasnt getting any ota updates even ota update wasnt in settings anyway.. so i updated through odin.
Everything was ok except service connection, no service,no data,no calls nothing. Tried search manually and auto but no luck. tried gsm or lte or cdma didnt work either. Did factory reset and network reset but no luck.
It supposed to be baseband or imei problem right?
I've checked them but imei and baseband was ok.. but no carrier.
I decided to install another roms and kernels but none of them worked either.
I am out of US zone but my phone is unlocked.
Right now I downgraded to 5.1.1 (OJ7) through odin and everything is ok right now. ( carrier service,3g,4g,lte, everything works fine.)
I am so frustrated and need help, am i missing something here?

There are issues with the data connection on some phones that get 6.0.1 with specific radio files.
Mine worked just fine after ODIN though.
That said, I installed the Renegade ROM, and have no issues with radio. You have the option of 2 kernels as well with that file, so you can choose your poison.

I tried with renegade rom but no luck. And the skyhigh kernel, i wasnt able to boot properly with lamlazy rom tho. maybe i miss somethin with installing instructions.
Anyway, now i am with stock 5.1.1 with unikernelv9.
Are you sure this is a kernel problem?
