I've had this problem 2 remembered times I believe, once when first going to Kitkat on my Jellybean Galaxy S4 and once when I updated my custom ROM to the newest version on my M8. Have you recently flashed a new ROM or update to your phone? If so then the only thing I can recommend you at this immediate moment is to either try re-flashing it or reverting back to what you were previously on. I searched for quite a while on how to solve the "WiFi won't activate or endlessly activates" issue and never did find any solution. Anyways there may actually be a 'better' solution to this but I never found it, if there is then someone else will reply with it.
If that is not the case and your issue lies elsewhere then please further explain your problem and what you did leading up to it to cause it, thanks!

Just some advice since you are new here: If you want help with a problem, best way to get it is to give as much information about your device as possible (carrier version, what OS version, OS version before you unlocked bootloader if applicable, if the phone is modded with custom ROM, and if so what custom ROM, etc.).
Problem with WiFi not turning on is common, and has been discussed on numerous threads. You probably need to update your firmware (hboot, radio, etc.), since if it's too old, it will not be compatible with current custom ROMs.
Also, please look at the dates of threads/posts before replying to (bumping) them. Digging up old threads is not recommended. This thread is over 2 years (going on 3 years) old. And the user you are asking, hasn't been active on the forum recently. So the chances of that person responded, is somewhat low. Even if he responded, the answer will probably not be completely relevant, as the OS versions, custom ROM versions, and a lot of other things have changed in the last 2 years. Meaning what that person did 2+ years ago, probably won't work for your today.
Although there are others here (such as myself) which will be happy to try to help, as long as you can provide more info as requested.

[Q] wheres the official ics build?

I've been unable to locate the OFFICIAL version of ics for the a100. I cant receive the ota because I have the leaked rom already. Well I've got flex so that should sum it up. Reverting back to HC was a failure and only led me to bricking my device. Long story short I'm using teamwin's recovery and I am fully rooted. Just looking for the official ota and not the leaked ics...
Is there such thing?
I have been reading dozens of posts here, and accoding to it I think there is no oficial ICS because what they're pushing is and update/upgrade, not a full ROM.
So, if you want to do it manually, try a newer leaked one, or a stock one. I don´t know which one will work for you since I´m in the process to try one after another myself. At the moment, I gave up of trying GEN2 and switched to GEN1.

um...that isn't exactly factual AT ALL...
The STOCK ROM posted in the devs section is the OTA that was delivered to some tablets earlier last week. Both build numbers and image numbers have matched up. Now i'm not sure what would make this a "complete" rom to you...but a couple of things are missing from the ACER ICS that some were looking for:
ie...facelock...acer ring (which isn't even ics related per se)...
The rom that everyone is using is THE STOCK rom....not a LEAKED INCOMPLETE rom...
Well I wanted the updated rom.. was hoping someone mined it from their device with everything already on it. I'll continue to wait I suppose. Flex rom is beautiful and would probably switch back right after anyways...since I got you guys here..know of any other custom roms?

.... Read Cheeb's response again. The version posted in the developer's section (and if you search for longer than a few minutes in the dev section, you can find multiple locations to download it from) IS the updated version, that came from people's tablets.
If you wanted an actual image to flash using fastboot, etc... I guess you could build yourself one. *shrug*

If I´m wrong, why every ROM I downloaded and/or captured from my OTA´s is different? Aren´t they giving us differential upgrades?
The only ROM we can so call official would be a full ROM.

Software Updating

Hello , XDA community.
I have a T - Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3. Here are the current stats on the device.
Model: SGH-T999
Android Version: 4.0.4
Baseband: T999xxxx
Kernel: 3.0.8- 1083013
Build: IMM76D.T999
Okay , so here's my problem. My device is rooted. Stock kernel I think. I don't remember doing anything special. Just a root.
Everyday my device gets to notification to update. Everytime I choose to update , the device just reboots and goes into CWM Recovery. I really want my device to just update to JellyBean without having to reset or wipe the device neither unrooting it. Is this possible ?
I hope I was clear enough with all the information.
You won't be able to do an Over The Air update with a custom recovery. Why do you have a custom recovery with a stock rom lol? There are a few roms out there with very stock everything. Or you can use odin to get there... searching will get you where you need. Also, you are about 2 months behind everyone else lol.

Yes I am aware , I only wanted my phone rooted for a few applications. Never cared much about ROMS. Do you care to point me to a fairly decent rom , something that is quick and lag free , yet not to crazy. I am only asking you because you seem to be very updated.
Oh I am, lol. I'll give you something very plain.

scroll down to "SGH-T999 OTA Updates (for use in recovery)" and get the latest "UVALJ4 - UVDLJA"
Hmm FrostyJB in the dev section.

Way to modded, this guy was on stock with root... I gave him stock with root. If he wants to go crazy and install a rom with custom looks, and mods to it (that alot of people like and some dislike),That's on him to research, like in my resource thread.
How to update Android 4.3 on a Galaxy S3 Tmobile SGH-T999L?
Hi there,
I´m new to the forum and I´m just a phone user. I´ve been reading different forums and messages and I think this is the correct one to post my question. If I´m wrong, please recommend me the appropriate forum if you know it . I must add that English is not my mother tongue and that I´m not familiar with terminology like flashing, mod, stock...
Having said that, here you have some background
I bought a Galaxy S3 Tmobile SGH T999L in the US in Jul 2014. I came back to my country, Spain, and as Tmobile doesn´t operate here I had to take it to a shop to unlock it and use with another supplier. The phone works reasonably well, though doesn´t totally benefit from 4G because the range of mobile frequencies used in Spain is different from the one in the US, with only partial coincidence. So it was my mistake to buy it there asuming that it would be 100% compatible here. But that´s not the issue. The issue is this:
I have recently downloaded several apps that informed me that because the O.S. is old (Android 4.3) I can´t benefit from some functionalities of the apps. .So I think I need to update to a higher version.
I have checked Tmobile US webpage where somebody asked the same question in a forum and they told him: "you flash a custome ROM (which we cannot discuss here, go to XDA developers if you are interested". And that´s why I´m here, because I have no idea of what that means, although I guess it might be related to deleting the content of the original ROM - and I suppose the O.S. is stored there- and substituting it by a higher O.S.
Below please find all technical data that I could find about my model, if this helps:
Model SGH-T999L
Base band version T999LUVUBOH1
Kernel version 3.0.31-2106417

Wifi Issue

After i installed android L on my One M8 wifi problem started. When i lock the device wifi connection is break. How am i solve it ? Anybody know this problem ?
Edit : The problem is only Sense roms , not aosp roms.
Edit 2 : And the problem starts with install android L. How can i downgrade from android l to kitkat ?
I've got the same issue. Bluetooth has been acting up as well, though I think that's an unrelated issue for me. Personally, I Dont want to go back to kitkat after using L, so if anyone knows of a fix that'd be awesome.
Also, I am 99% sure I'm on the correct fw and have supercid enabled. Dunno if it makes a did but I have art as well.
I back the kitkat and problem doesnt seen but i wanna use android l. Somebody help us
Same problem. I bought m8 yesterday and i have updated it 5.0.1. Wifi does not work. Im so mad guys. Help please.
I think its the general problem for android l users. Am i wrong?

You need to update your firmware. Discussed in many other threads already.
I've already install last firmware.

Yesterday I flashed the ViperOne 4.0 beta, and my wifi kept dropping out as well. I was using 3.28.401.9 fw, because I read on a few threads that the 4.4.4 fw was compatible with Lollipop.
An hour and a half ago, I flashed 4.16.401.10 firmware, and my wifi has remained connected. Hopefully it stays that way.

If you installed latest try to reflash the Lollipop Rom again and it should work, I've seen the issue and most users fixed it with a reflash.
Before and after reflashing perform a factory reset/wipe.
Same. All the sense roms which based on android l, have that problem. Now i stay on kitkat (android revolution) and its nearly perfect. I think im gonna stay kitkat while the problem is solving. (sorry for english)

It's ok, KitKat is stable.
I use Lollipop, with no issues, but depends of the carriers, they push the updates.

Yeah. Even though I got wifi working on mine, I'm just test driving it and checking out what's new. I'll flash my 4.4.4 nandroid before I go to work tomorrow. Then prolly flash my lolli backup when I get home to play with a bit more tomorrow night.

Yes. I flashed 4.xx firmware (4.16.401.10 to be exact, might be different for your model) and I have no wifi problems whatsoever anymore.

Get into ADB/fastboot and do fastboot getvar all, then post the readout here. Edit out your serial # and IMEI for your own safety. Never post those on a public forum.
Thanks for helping. I will try it and then post here the results.

Out of it for a year, now I'm looking for advice and opinions.

I got this SM-P600 last year for my birthday, I shortly rooted it then installed a ROM and went on my merry way.
There have always been a couple nagging issues with the rom, infrequent random restarting and blanking out my lockscreen and homescreen wallpapers.
Its on the ND2 bootloader but the "fingerprint" says NH3 release-keys, so NH3 firmware I assume.
It is rooted, twrp 2.5 or 2.6 I think.
I just want to get the firmware updated and install a stable rom on it since the restarting and wiping away wallpaper is really getting on my nerves lately.
I have been out of the tweaking and modding environment for almost a year now and I don't know where to pick up again.
So I am looking for advice and opinions.
I need to find a firmware only page, or a way to update the firmware easily, or am I missing something here?
I'd like to hear about a couple roms people out there are using, why you use it and how long?
I'd like to know if I need to have the bootloader and firmware be the same version and if that might be why I am having issues.
Can anyone point me to the right place?
Hmm, I only root and run stock roms with some minor housekeeping, so cannot help you with your ROM issues. I would imagine though that anybody who could will need to know WHAT ROM you installed.
In the meantime, the best thread I know of for you to gather information is the one at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2723420 ... Its an ALL-IN-ONE thread for the Note 10.1 (2014 edition). Please not though that the forum rules stipulate it is only for information sharing, not for questions, so you may want to visit there, catch up as best you can and then come back here with more specific questions...
Is there any reason you don't want to use stock? I ask because based on what you are saying, it doesn't appear that you chose a custom ROM with any particular intentions, but rather because ... well, apparently custom is awesome If you don't need anything particular, you will be much better off just running a rooted stock with some debloating to keep things spiffy. As of now, I believe the P600 is still on 4.4.4, for which root should be available. The LTE versions started receiving 5.1.1 updates last week and while it is quite awesome to run the latest lollipop, no root as of yet.
Cheers,
Karthik

anyone have the compiled stock rom for the htc one v (virgin mobile)?

i know this phone is old as all get out but I recently acquired one of these and it seems to have twrp installed already but no actual firmware...
i'd like to flash back to stock but i would also prefer that someone could fish out a rom from the deep sea of mostly dead links that would be considered somewhat usable. i think there may be a 4.2.2 rom somewhere but i am unsure. the device codename is "primoc"
tl;dr: if anyone has the stock rom, please upload it if possible. i'd also like to see if anyone has a rom for this device that is on 4.2.2 or later. doesn't have to be that new but it is preferred
as for stock i am sure only 4.0.x exists
thanks in advance.
