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.

Wifi Error

I have the EVO 4g and I was able to put it into S-off....Once i did that i was getting wifi error when i tried to use the wifi. I'm stumped and have looked everywhere and have not gotten any clear answers. I have tried to install a rom (using digital karma now) but to no avail. Please help me out :laugh:

that did not work =\

Could try reflashing the kernel and wiping cache and dalvik cache in recovery.
You tried switching your router off and on again?

note that some kernels need to have data and/or system mounted first in recovery before flashing the kernel otherwise wifi breaks. Just a thought.
also, you did sanity check your network by conforming that other devices still connect fine?

well i didn't do the router because its not even scanning for a router at all. This is a fairly new phone so it was never dropped (just some info).

yeah the network is fine. I have another EVO that i use for wifi purposes, but the usb port broken. I have been charging my battery on one phone and using wifi on the other. It was fine while it lasted but now its a bit old. I want to flash one of these phones to pageplus and i prefer the one that the wifi works on.

Ok...let me search my memory banks to see if I can help. I have had this problem about 2 or 3 times, and I searched DILIGENTLY for an answer. After countless, and I mean countless pages, I found a solution. (Not saying you didn't search right...but it took me a while, and I had to change the words of my search about 20 times.)
You need a file explorer with root access. There are many good ones, and I use ES File Explorer. Not saying it's the best, not saying it's the worst, not saying anything except that it's the one I use. Period.
Anyway, you must access the root of your phone, and go to these folders.
System-->Etc-->Wifi.
In the Wifi folder, either rename the supplicant file to be safe, or delete it. I renamed mine the first time around to be safe, but I can confirm that deleting doesn't hurt anything. Restart your phone, and it will rebuild the file when the phone reboots. No need to wipe cached or anything. And fixing permissions doesn't work for this.
Try it, and let me know.
P.S.: I would give credit to the person who originally posted this solution, but I don't remember, since the answer was not on XDA, and I found it in a forum for a random Samsung phone.

nope did not work...I eeven tried taken wifi files out of my working evo to this one and still did not work

Do a Full Wipe of everything. Then Flash a Stock Rooted Rom. See if that corrects the issue. You may also want to check out THIS thread. Also the one HERE.

Hmmmm...I tried my best. I hope you find a solution soon.
But the way, does it simply say error, or does it behave strange, like turn off and on for a while, then give you the error message?

[Q] Newbie questions

Hi all.
My first post here and a couple of questions.
Per instructions found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2195283 , I was able to root my phone using TWRP and odin.
The phone works fine but many of the apps are missing (maps, youtube etc). I was able to download the maps 6.14 apk and install it, but the gps takes forever to lock now. Is there a s2 specific app that was somehow wiped out by the rooting process?
Also, the stock browser is set to full screen, but when typing in the address, the address bars flickers on and off and I can only see the google search suggestions untill I press the keyboard again. Im using stock samsung keyboard.
Don't know if it's normal, but the phone doesn't pull my contacs from the sim card before or after root. I used to have HTC Mytouch from T-mobile and the names and phone numbers all came up as soon as I insterted the sim card into that phone when I bought it 2 years ago.
Thank you.
Sorry forgot to add.
The phone is ( was?) stock JB 4.1.2 (t-mobile) and the only thing I did was root it.

The only thing I can think of is to re flash the stock ROM in Odin. Then redo installing recovery. I followed roughly the path to root you described and didn't have any problems.

Thanks for the suggestion.
Do you know if the settings and data will be wiped out if I try to reinstall ? I dont have a spare phone I would hate to lose the apps and the texts and etc.

Well, if you have twrp, install it first and make a backup that INCLUDES the preload partition as well as data, system, cache, etc. Then you don't need to worry. But odining stock job over stock job should be harmless since it won't overwrite data -- just be sure repartition isn't checked
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Well, unrooted, rerooted, wiped clean, reinstalled stock 4.1.2 and nothing ...
The gps is crap with all the .conf files tried. And no matter what, once I install SU , the damn apps disappear after reboot. Plus considering that it's a 1.5mhz processor, its slower than my old HTS 1.2mhz Mytouch and even 1mhz ZTE warp. Probably gonna send it back. Too bad, since I like the screen a lot.

You're missing apps can be redownloaded from the play store. As for your GPS problem, download and follow the instructions to install AGPS from this thread and you should be fine.

Thanks , but I already tried that.
As for the apps, it's really not a big deals, but the fact that the SU app makes them disappear is a bit of a concern. , plus the fact that gps works like crap even after the patch and several new gps.conf files , make this phone an overpriced and kinda overhyped toy. Frankly one shouldnt be looking at patches and fixes on a phone this "good". If an old ZTE and Htc work without a hitch, then this thing is about $150 too expensive for what it is.
And for the life of I cant understand why wouldnt sucksung put a damn led light on the case to alert the user of missed calls or texts instead of us having to resort to the nolite and such..
Thank you for all the help though).Thank you though for the help.

Make Sure you Flash it Correctly.. Since you have TWRP Flash other Rom of your preferences and then DO THE CORRECT Wipes!.

Appreciate the advice.
But Ive done that already. The gps ,when it does finally lock, takes forever. Regardless of the .conf files. And no matter what, after SU gets installed and the phones is restarted some apps are simply gone.

Instead of stock ROM I would give you the suggestion of trying out cyanogen mod since imo its actually much better everything wise over stock ROM
Give it a whirl and tell us what u think
See if the probs went away

Problem enabling Trace Input with ZVC update

I don't know if anyone else is having this issue, but I have tried enabling Trace Input by editing the Build Prompt using Root Browser four times now, and all four times have resulted in the following two error pop-ups:
Unfortunately, com.android.systemui has stopped working. OK
Unfortunately, Home has stopped working. OK
Pressing OK gets me nowhere. It only brings back the same two messages instantly, making it impossible for me to do ANYTHING. It's a stock rooted OTA ZVC, so there's no custom recovery nor ROMs to flash even if I had a custom recovery. Two out of the four times, I had to use the LG Flash Tool and flash the ZV7 and 8 tot files and kept installing the OTAs until I was back to ZVC. The other two times, I flashed the ZVC files. Of course, regardless of what you flash, you're losing EVERYTHING on your phone — music, movies, pics, texts, call logs, apps, etc. Reinstalling tons of apps and using the USB to transfer tons of pics, movies, and music takes FOREVER to do, so I was wondering if any of you were having this same issue. If so, how do I resolve it?
P.S. I usually tether my data to my computer, but right now I'm using my little sister's wifi hotspot. Sprint is upgrading the towers on my area, so not only is there no LTE available right now, but the download speeds are terribly slow. I'm downloading the ZVC tot now, and it's 0.6/2.1 GB with 10 hours left to complete. I'm hoping someone can/will provide me with a fix before then to save me the trouble of starting fresh all over again.

I'm sorry, with those 2 errors kind of hard to do anything on the phone. I would say I could send you a build prop, but without getting into a recovery or without the errors won't do any good.
If you can use
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715496
The auto-rec program. It keeps download, down grades aboot, gives you recovery.
I do apologize if I don't remember but if you are one of the few unlucky with white line syndrome on the phone after a recovery is installed.
Cloudyfa has the fix linked on the first page also.
Which will make it like you didn't just try to put recovery on.

The app you used to edit may have truncated the build.prop, I know rootexplorer says its too big and truncates in a warning message, do it on computer and overwrite or use a separate build.prop editor. Check permissions on modified build.prop which should be rw-r-r. I have done this on both my G2s with no problems.

Abhinav.tella nailed it. I use Rom Toolbox lite, just as I show in my thread. Works like a charm on ZVC. Also, you can just flash a ZVC TOT if you had to. You don't need to flash all the way back using an old TOT file and work your way to current.

I guess I can try that. My only gripe is that if it doesn't work, I'll have to tot back and have no files or anything on my phone again. That is a hassle and it really sucks having to reroot and install all my apps and stuff again.

[Q] AT&T GS3 No data connection, APN's wont save.

I have a AT&T GS3 running Packman Rom, one day i was updating my rom, data was working fine and after i flashed the update i had no data connection, so i restored from a back up before the rom update and same thing no data, so i restored my phone with ODIN using the default ROM, still no data. So i restored from the backup again and found out i had no APN's in the APN settings area. So i tried restoring defaults, nothing happens it says "defaults restored" or something along those lines and nothing shows up, when i try setting my own APN with the right stuff and i save still nothing there. Any ideas on how to fix? I have downloaded some apps to manage the APN's but they don't work on android 4.0 +.

Sounds to me like your IMEI is gone. Check in setting>about phone>status>IMEI number. If it doesnt show one, then its corrupt. You'll have to look around on the forum for fixes tho, I'm unfamiliar with it. When/if you do get it fixed, make sure you keep a backup in case it happens again.

I have an IMEI , that isnt the problem i think.

Is your modem compatible with your bootloader? Can you make calls? When you search for networks, do any appear?
What ROM did you restore using Odin?

Check to make sure the imei matches the one on the sticker under the battery. While you're at it, remove the sim card and reboot. Wait a minute or two, shut down and reinsert your sim and power back on.
Have you factory reset at all since this has occurred?
