Hey everyone. between my brothers and I, we have five Evo's. two of us are running full roots and nand unlocks, the other three are using unrevoked. those that unrevoked can use the wifi router without issue, but for my brother and myself, using the wifi router results in the app crashing and having to force close.
has anyone seen anything similar? can anyone offer me some solution?
and btw, this is my third rom. they all have the same results(full wipe, data and davik cache clear each time)
Delete wi fi tether from the phone and re-download it. This has worked for me everytime i change roms =)
Hope it helps.
Do you mean the wireless tether app? I am running my own rom but it seems that it worked for me when I was using fresh. But that is the only other rom I have tried. Have you tried re-installing the tether app?
I'm not sure i can remove the base wifi tether app. it's always cooked into the rom. and i have tried reinstalling the app. i've gone from the original version, to the newer version and finally the beta version with no luck
I was having this issue for awhile. I'm not sure exactly what fixed it, but my work around was:
1. Re-install from the market place (Do not launch)
2. Reboot
3. Install this version http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre2.apk&can=2&q=NexusOne
(Don't lanch)
4. Reboot
5. Should work now
Hmmmmmm. I am sure someone else can offer better advice, but does the super user app come up to ask for permission or it fc's before that?

okay, i did exactly as you said. now the app will start, but as soon as i click on the wifi symbol, it thinks for a second and says "Unable to start tethering. Please try again!"
Edit: and on first run, it asked me for super user permissions. i click grant and checked the box to allow future requests
I am not sure if your signature is correct but have you tried flashing the newest radio? I am not sure if that would fix it or not. And the same thing happens to the other phone? Puzzling indeed. I'm sure someone will drop in and tell you how to fix it soon. Worst case, start over. Even though I know you said you tried various roms, maybe you are accidentally skipping a step, I do that sometimes

Ok, go back through the same process and try this one instead of what was in step 3.

If that doesn't work, I've got nothing else. The first one was the beta you probably tried earlier. This is the stable one; however, I never tried it with this one. I always got it working using the 2_0_5 version.
Also, for ****s and giggles, have you tried updating you profile and prl?
- you didn't flash the wireless n patch over a 1.47 base Rom correct? Can you connect to a WiFi router or is it just the tether app?

uh....what?? you got me there! i thought i knew what those were, but it escapes me now.
the only thing i can think of is that the rooting process screwed up somehow. but for it to screw up in the same way for two separate phones is odd, but it's the only thing that has remained constant since the very beginning.
Menu - settings - system updates. The profile and prl won't mess with root or anything but its something I have heard to do in this case. Don't know if it will help.
Also did you see the note about the wifi n patch on the other page? I added it after I posted... like this

Well crapola. I think I'm outta ideas man. if you didn't patch the wireless n over a 1.47 Rom then I have no clue what it could be. maybe Sprint is spying on you and has your phones on lock down! but if you can't find the answer just try starting fresh. it might be a pain but who knows what little quirk could have gotten messed up.

Well it's not that serious but Im sure my wife is going to kill me if I dont get it fixed, lol. So Im not recieving all my txt messages. Im running GO SMS PRO and I also have Ghostly SMS to catch any txts that Im missing, funny thing, it only catches my VM messages? So any ideas, anyone have the same issues, any other SMS app I can try? This all started after I flashed a ROM way back, not sure which ROM it was.

If it started when you flashed a rom, then flash another one, or restore a backup.

At the very least, try going under Settings -> System Updates and update your PRL and Profile (that is, given you're currently running a Sprint-based ROM). If you're not, you're going to have to flash one.
Ok, so I dont have a backup of the ROM I was running before this all started. Im recovering flash-aholic, so Ive been through a few ROMS since it first started.
Im running Mik3D, is that a sprint based ROM?

The best way to check is to see if you have the option I referred to: Settings -> System Updates.
And yes, Mik3D is a Sprint-based ROM and has that option. Give it a try and see if your texts start working. The other option (if that doesn't work) is to reset your data profile and see if that helps.

You'll need to know your MSL (Master Subsidy Lock) code in order to reset your data profile. Downloading MSL Reader from the Market is the easiest way to get it. Do that first, give it Root permissions, and write down your MSL.
Then, you'll need to use EPST to access the phone's Data Profile information. Open the Phone Dialer, and press ##DATA# or (##3282#). A box should come up telling you it's initializing, and you should be prompted to choose either View Mode or Edit Mode. Choose Edit Mode. You'll then be prompted to input your MSL. Do that, and the Data Profile options should load. The first option should be "Data Profile". Press to open it, and information about your device will begin to load. Once it's done, press the Menu button, and choose "Restore". When the warning appears, tell it "Yes" you're sure, and it should tell you it's going to reboot in 10 seconds. Let it (or press the button to do it immediately). When the phone boots back up, it should start provisioning itself. If it doesn't, open the stock Web Browser ("Internet" in the app drawer) and it should then start automatically. If it STILL doesn't, go back to Settings -> System Updates and run the firmware update check, update PRL, and then Update Profile.
If you don't get your wife's texts then, I'd imagine the problem lies elsewhere. At that point, I'd say start from scratch. Using RA Recovery, wipe everything besides SD card, and reflash the ROM. That should get rid of any issues.
I apologize for the crudeness of my instructions, as I wrote them from memory.

This is interesting to me - are you SURE the issue isn't with her phone? It's inconsistent that you'd only not get her texts.
If you've done all of the above and your still having issues, I'd have to say that you've successfully eliminated your device as the possible source of the problem, though I always use the stock app and have never had any such issues.
thanks for the all the help and ideas. Now comes the test of me getting all my txts. So far so good.
Can someone help me with this? I found that if you remove sprintandroidextension.apk it goes away but it didnt. I also found that by removing SprintOMADMConnMOPlugin.apk it goes away, but i cant find it on my Galaxy note 2. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
If you let it go all the way through HFA once it won't return. Since you removed sprintandroidextension.apk I'm not sure it will succeed now. Try re-adding that first.
Under system/app, look for Sprintdm. Apk ///// change it to Sprintdm. Bak

I would have thought so too. As I've been advised by other as well. But...
I have, at least five times, run a return to stock, both through ODIN and OneClicks.
I still have the issue. Baffles the mind. Makes little sense. But there it is. And I'm not the only one.
(Just so it's noted, and before you accuse me otherwise, I am not new at this, and I follow directions fastidiously. I've never once had a problem that I didn't cause myself, and I've always been able to fix them by further reading/researching.)
Just for SnG's I'll quote myself and others from a few other posts in other threads:

Just my 2 cents, my experience with this error.
I'm getting the Chameleon FC, and the persistent HandsFree Activation on every reboot. All started when I lost wifi on the LK8 update zip (I was rooted, thanks to Voodoo OTA rootkeep), and tried to get back to LJC...
And this morning, I tried the following:
Installed TWRP with GooManage, restored a nandroid from my orig rooting using the toolkit, no luck, same two errors.
So then I OneClicked the Full Restore (SPH-L900_LJC_Stock_Restore.exe), and wtf, still there.
As I mentioned in my quote, it (the Note2) works, not broken, but I find the persistent error worrisome.
I am open to criticism, suggestions, whatever. What am I missing?

Itchiee said:
I'm having similar issues, I was on the release before LK8, then updated to LK8 but wanted to start over again.
Once i downgraded to LJ1? the hands free bug kept popping up every reboot, until I moved onto to LJC then LK8 update file which is fine.
I'm trying to figure out myself how to go back to the original firmware (pre any updates) without the issues... /subscribed.
Wonder if this is tied into it somehow...
I dunno, my head is exploding reading all these posts, replies.... 5 different versions of restore.

I have tried the one click restores back to ljc and the original tar, and I still have the hands free activation issue and the chameleon error. And when I update to lk8 I get no wifi. I have tried returning to stock about 4 times and then updated to lk8 with the same results. I always go back to ljc bc I need wifi.

interestingly, even using a stock oneclick full restore (and even using a TAR in Odin), still have the handsfree repetition and chameleon FCs. (lol, I'm not complaining really, it's early in the dev life for this device I suppose. )
Also, I've been reading that re-flashing the LK8 update.zip (via sxtp?) while it seems to fix the HFA and ChameleonFC, it kills the wifi? (it killed my wifi after aprox 2 days use, when I orig updated...)

and again, my concern is the issue seems to be more significant, seeing as a Full Wipe to Stock doesn't fix it.

So I ended up returning my phone to Sprint, the swapped it out pretty easy, let them see the issue and error, they said "yeah, that ain't normal", got me a new one.
kingdazy said:
it would seem that the factors that all of us with this issue have in common are: a) rooting w/ ToolKit ver2 b) flashing LK8 update zip c) trying to return to stock LJC/LJ1 because of a wifi problem... please chime in if you have the issue, but not one of those factors?
After everything, I just returned to stock LJC w/ Flash Counter @ 0 (no) w/ the errors still present, took it into Sprint store said, 'hey guys, this is weird, i've got a persistent error, won't go away after resetting my phone." (IE, acted dumb enough to not have rooted/flashed unofficial shtuff/etc, but smart enough to know that it's a real issue), they looked at it, asked a few obvious questions, replaced it, because obviously something was wrong in a permanent way. I want to a corp store, not a "repair center". I think it was a good thing that these guys were not super techie.
I told them as little as possible, that I had a "wifi issue after an update, tried full reset (through the android settings menu, of course), and the problem didn't go away, no matter what". Once they heard that I had done a full factory reset, and saw the problem/error happen, it was a no-brainer to swap out.
I'll be avoiding the LK8 leak for now, and frankly gun-shy about the toolkit.

I had someone ask how I got it back to stock unrooted w/ no flash count, and while that might be abvois to some, just in case someone doesn;t want to hunt around, or ask this is what I did, with links:
kingdazy said:
ok, to get back to stock, first use this OneClick to get to Stock+Root, it will wipe ALL internal memory except SD card:

Instructions are here:
http://www.sxtpdevelopers.com/showt...-TAR-SPH-L900-LJC-(LJC-Modem-Kernel-ROM-Stock)
then use TriangleAway, this will set your counter at 0 (reads as "no" in download mode). it should also say "Official" And "Samsung Official"
Then, if you want to get Total Stock unrooted, for returns to Sprint, or any other reason, use Odin (not mobile) to flash this:

Instructions for flashing that are here:

Good luck to the people with this error, I feel for you, very frustrating. I am hoping that Samsung releases an official OTA soon similar to LK8, that you will be able to flash that will fix the error and the wifi.
And I hope the devs are reading these posts (even if they are not responding), are at least looking into it.
I know we have the attentions of garwynn, he's made the SxTp team at least aware that there might be an issue.
You'll be seeing me.

Hey guys! I'm sorry if this has been answered already, but i have a T-mobile GS3. I got tired of waiting for the JB OTA update, so i decided to root my phone and try out CM10. I followed the instructions on how to do the one click method using MSkip's Toolkit. I made a full Nandroid backup thru ClockworkMod before and thought we'd be good. After trying CM10 I wanted to restore my backup. After doing so, I have NO DATA connectivity thru the phone. It worked fine on CM10 initially, but now, no matter what ROM I use or backup i restore to, it still wont connect. All i have is EDGE network.
All i want to do now is use TriangleAway, unroot, and OTA update to stock JB for now. Strangely enough my app's that are already on the phone WILL update using EDGE network, but wont allow me to access the PlayStore. I'm in over my head now, so I'm asking for help. It's been over a week now searching thru forums, but i cant find any solutions. Geez...I'm a NOOB...i know.
I dont have an EFS backup.

I could keep finding more for you, but this should suffice. You should've backed up more then just the rom itself... hope you get it back.
Try switching Airplane mode on and off, doesn't work? Try going to settings mobile networks and Data connection, check and uncheck few times, it worked for me
Go To settings -> About Device -> Status
Do you have an "IMEI"? Is it 14 digits or so? or does it say "UNKNOWN?

I did change those settings back, mt3g. i did find one post that seems helpful...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801997
however, it seems quite complicated and has alot of disclaimers...
im willing to try it out, but seeing as how im uneducated enough to have gotten myself into this problem in the FIRST place...im not so confident. haha.
are you familiar with this method? does it work?
Reflash your phone back to stock via ODIN. Confirm data is back and then go back to toying with your phone.
If data is not back, you're probably SOL.

UPDATE:
I've been searching the forums for a few hours now and there are many links, but none seem very conclusive.
Does anybody have any solid directions/tips? Im glad to have my IMEI back, but want my DATA back, dangit.
This is driving me crazy!
Much thanks for any help!

I just went through the same thing. Use qpst to backup qnc file (once you are sure your imei is back restored) to desktop. Then use qnc generator to open that backup and save it with a different name to desktop. Then open qpst and go to restore and choose the new qnc that was generated and restore it. Flash the modem of your choice and voila. Back in action. Working perfect now. 4G is around 7-9mb in the New Orleans area where I am.

coverage...but i think i'll wait. Maybe later cause now im just PUMPED to have DATA AT ALL! haha.
Thanks SO much to everybody that chimed in with help! i OWE you guys...
Hello, I'm not sure if this is the right forum to post this in but haven't been unable to pinpoint my problem. I have a s3 on boost mobile rooted and running custom rom. My daily rom is dandroid. By the way, all these roms are for sprint. On dandroid (4.1 android), I have no data issues whatsoever. When I flash the collective (4.3 android) I have data when I first reboot and if I don't turn on wifi data will work fine until I turn on wifi. By the way, wifi works good too but when I turn wifi off, it somehow breaks the data connection. I have no data, nothing.Sometimes a reboot will turn data back on, other times no. I also get the error when it first reboots where it says something to the effect androidprocess.com has stopped. I go into settings-mobile network-network operator and comes up error while searching for networks. I'm thinking possibly that this error with not being able to find a network is somehow related to the issues I'm having. Once I turn wifi off, I cannot get data to work again. I have tried this on my home wifi and a open network at work and same issue. I have communicated with one of the rom developers and gave him a logcat of when this issue happens but he is unable to isolate the problem. I also flashed dirtyunicorns (after doing full wipe), another 4.3 rom and and I have the exact same issues with wifi breaking data when I turn it off. After this, I have gone back to my backup of dandroid (4.1 rom) and I have no data issues anymore. I can turn wifi on and off no problem and it doesn't affect my data connection. I beginning to think somehow its related to the 4.3 version but this is unconfirmed. If anyone has any suggestion, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Help me help me please, I'm so stupid , I have an AT&T S3 unlocked and I'm currently using Tmobile...
I rooted my phone, and I used DEBLOATER FREE, to debloat some of the stuffs in the list. I was actually being careful with the selection. Anyway, I deleted some files, and when I restarted the phone. I'm no longer getting signal. Can someone please help me. I need to get it fix soon. Any helps and advices at this point would be greatly appreciated. Please by the way, i tried to go to setting ->More setting->Mobile Networks, and it freezzed and received a message "unfortunately, settings has stopped"
I used mskip's tool to rooted my phone, if i used that tool to relfash my stock recovery, would this solve the issue?
or I'm on ICS 4.0.4 right now, If i Update the phone to JB would this solve the issue.
Let me add one more thing that, I rooted this phone a long time ago, today i was being stupid and debloat stuffs assuming it won't affect my phone much

just reflash stock rom via odin using this tutorial here ----> you will lose all data so find a way to back it up to your computer.

First of, thanks you so much. I don't think you attach a link for me yet. A quick update, I checked my imei, and it said null/null. so if i used mskip tool to do a efs partition would that solve the issue?
I'm downloading the ics stock rom right now, and I will keep you update. I will probably do it, via mskip's tool. What I'm wondering is, if i used samsung kies and update to JB, would this solve the issue also?
the phone is working fine, it's just i can't make call

I did more research and I think I narrow it down to EFS, mb i deleted my efs folder while debloated my phone, or some random reason...do you know any possible fix? because I didn't back it up. if I'm to re flash stock rom, do you think it will fix this issue?
I found this guide right here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264021
so i re-flashed the stock rom using mskip tool, and now i can make call, but now i'm getting a bunch of messages like process android.process.acore has stopped, and touchwiz home error and i can't get pass that. Please Advise
[SOLVED] thank you so much, got everything back to normal. one more questions, since i re-flashed the stock rom, I can still access CWM recovery, but as i tried to install superuser, it said I can't...this is my first time so can you lead me to the right path?
Just re root your device using the same method.
