Lost WIFI after CWRecovery - Fascinate General

I usually dont start new posts, i try to post in the OP's thread and search but beings Fascinate is new their isnt much help or info to search for
i flashed CWR Using ODIN 2 days ago and ever since i dont have WIFI. when i turn it on it says scanning and then comes up with a message saying Unable to Scan For WIFI and then it Turns Wifi Off before i can even attempt to manually enter my SSID and WEP key
i know in the Early days back on the G1 you would always have to run Fix_permissions which i have tried and sometimes manually run command prompt to get stuff like this back working again but im not sure what to do

Update still dont have wifi, but wifi tether works

I know this is an older thread, but I recently had this issue randomly happen to me and found an answer in another xda forum and figured I'd share what I found:

Just thought i'd say thank you for this post. Suddenly my wifi stopped working and was telling me it was unable to scan, and I was trying to figure out what the hell was going on because I hadn't flashed anything recently... Then I just happened to come across this post. I deleted that file in /data/wifi and rebooted, and suddenly it worked again. You just saved me a lot of time.. my next step was to re-flash the dl09 radio because I had tried various other possible solutions with not luck, and had ran out of ideas. Then I came here not even looking for a solution, just looking for anything new that might've popped up, and saw this.
So, in summary of this unnecessarily long post...
thanks, and it worked.

Semi-bricked DHD

Evening all,
I have a DHD that is stuck in HBOOT/FASTBOOT, or at least that and the stock recovery program is all I can get to.
I tried an AAHK, and it basically tried to do a downgrade and has left the phone with no data, still at s-on, and I can't find an operator RUU(three uk) to flash it back to a useable state.
Is there a three RUU available?
I'm running around in circles as I can't make a gold card, due to not having another DHD available to retrieve the MMC2. All I need is a goldcard and then I can flash a WWE, but I cant find anywhere to make one without the phone or a similar one.
I dont think it turned the microsd properly into a gc, before it tried to downgrade. Is their anyway I can test to see if the memory card has been successfully goldcarded?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
James

Mine has a lot of those symptoms to be honest. If I vol down/power to get to Hboot, it sits there with no keys being able to be pressed, just highlighted blue FASTBOOT and not even checking for files on memory card
If I just turn it on, it sits at the three splash screen, which i assume is the equivalent of the HTC one for branded phones.
I have now turned it on and left it on as per those linked threads, in the hopes the sd is a proper gold card and it is just slow. Fingers crossed.
Thanks for the pointer
James
There are many threads for your problem, do a search, check what it might be. I believe in the second page of that link has another link, check it out. Find out what is wrong before trying anything. If you have any questions, let us know what are the symptoms, what you have done and so on.

Well what I did, was follow the AAHK instructions, cleaned up my environment etc, went through the install. When it asked to do the downgrade, I said yes, then it asked about wiping and was I sure, so I said yes. It then rebooted the phone and it is now as it is. I pulled the battery and tried vol-down/power, which brings up HBOOT, but it doesnt let me do anything, vol keys and power do not work and it doesnt start looking for image files.
From that thread, it was mentioned it just could be going very slow, and people have just left it overnight. This is what I have done now, and will see if it has accessed the files on the memory card and downgraded properly in the morning.
Thanks
James
Have you tried looking for the RUU here?
Last I remember when aahk downgrades, you will be asked to reboot to basic recovery twice
Panic over, thankfully! Not my phone, you see!
It was so easy to root my S2 and the X10 before that, and the iP3G before that(and custom winmo, and nokia etc etc), I said give it to me, i'll sort you out with some ICS rom action.
Then it all went wrong as explained in my previous posts.
2 days later, i finally found the H3G RUU I needed to get an system on it. Silly branded phones. Took 4 hours to download as it was on a throttled download service(my 100MB leased line usually eats 300MB in seconds, but not this time)
So long story short, into FASTBOOT USB, ran the RUU and it completed and put froyo on the phone, and as a happy coincidence it was at a level that didn't need a downgrade, so AAHK ran through like a trooper, busybox installed and hey presto, ENG S-OFF. IceColdSandwich installed through cwm and one happy mate, who then proceeded to ring his wife and tell her to rent a film, as he would be tinkering with the phone all night lol
It was getting to the point I was going to have to give him my S2, and as I've just taken possession of a Sony SmartWatch, I didn't want to do that!!
Thank for everyone's help and pointers, not sure what went wrong the first time(probably a memory card/incompatibility/goldcard problem), but all sorted now.

Need help for a friends TAB

Tab boots to "welcome" screen but does not register touches, leaving me unable to move forward. Ready for the long story?
I am helping a friend who bought this tab from a third party. When he received it, the previous owner stated that they did a factory reset back to Honeycomb but he noticed that it did in fact still have ICS on it. Probably OTA'd when the previous owner did the reset. Tab worked fine for about two weeks until one day he came home and the lockscreen would not register touches. That's where I come in.
I did the "erase, wipe" (booting while switching the screen rotation back and forth.) Tab wiped and brought me to the "Welcome" screen where you select country and language and still does not register touches. I have tried blackthund3r's flash and manager tools, as well as multiple guides to recover from what I have seen referred to as "flu." The main problem I have is that I cannot get a valid UID. Using USBDeview gives me an 11 digit serial but it returns as invalid when plugged into DotNetDetector and I am unable to use SDB because the non working touchscreen has left me unable to enable USB debugging.
Any suggestions, help, advice, on things I can try? I am really stumped and would like to help my friend/conquer this problem. Thanks for anyone who has taken the time to read this/offer help.

Get ready for some Ubuntu... Here is the guide that will get you a valid sbk. My nephew just brought his tab to me after forgetting his password. So I was in the same boat as far as UID/SBK. This is gonna take a while so put some time aside.

As sure as I am reading yoru reply the damn thing just started working. I was able to get to USB debugging and via ADB I was able to pull the UID; which was the same as the one I got from USBDeview btw. Still an 11 digit code. The only thing I can guess is that it has a faulty touchscreen, or maybe the battery was just too low to register touches? Thanks for your reply though. Always nice to be able to rely on the folks at XDA.
That is too cool. The other way is a learning experience to be sure. Enjoy.

I have now realized that the touchscreen does work but is very glitchy and have found that lots of people have had problems with the OTA ICS update. Any suggestions on a good custom ROM for this tab? It isn't mine so I have not been following this section. Would like something close to stock ICS but with fixes that resolve the problems associated with OTA.

First check in Settings>About Tablet>Build Version - this will tell you what rom you are currently running -
Then, if you can, download and install Acer Recovery Installer
This tells you what bootloader and recovery is installed.
The glitches you speak of and the 11 digit uid point to an ICS Rom and unpatched HC bootloader - updating to the new BL often fixes these weird glitches BUT if you flash a custom rom as well, you'll be running sweet!!!
If you wanna stay close to Stock then I'd recommend ezterrys one here comes pre-rooted and busy box installed - and if you want to you can install his Over clocked kernel too.... plus its well maintained and supported
there are many tools and guides around to help you...the ones in my sig for instance the cpuid one has a lot of general info in it too re bootloaders, sbk and flash tools.
If you have any q just ask, there's always someone round willing to help...good luck!!

Help with narrowing the wifi problem...

ok so heres the rundown. i have my hd2 and have in the past put a different rom on, so it is not stock(just for a reference point). Now i want android, I have multiple verions n builds which were using paranoid android and cm9 for ice cream sandwhich. Every build i throw on there i always boot thru the sd card thru the clrcad.exe. Every build i try the wifi is never able to find any sources, it just keeps turning on n off.
That is my problem and didnt know how to go about it. Just for Reference 1. I have looked thru all the developer threads and did see others had problems and they got no solutions. 2. i just joined so i cannot post in the developer threads to ask them for help. 3. i did search the forums for similar problems but nothing related to the same problem they were using different build or os. If i missed somthing please tell me.
I thought maybe since i dont have a stock rom on the hd2 it might be interfering with ics. The wifi works fine while using windows. A second thogut was maybe i should just install the magldr which from what i read would wipe the internal mem, but once the first time putting that on there i could was done i could boot thru that instaed of using clrcab.exe.

i would just hit te thanks! button but it said i didnt have permission so Thanks! i will try thatright now
ok so i applied the apk and installed with superuser permission without a problem. i then reset the phone, but it didnt work. So i made sure that under advavance configuration it said US, tghen proceeded to input the *#94349# and it said that wifix was enabled, but still the same problem it just turns on n off all the while giving me the unending message of "turning on wifi..."
but now here is the things i have tried since yesterday i have made to installer hardspl 2.08 and radio 20.15.50.14 and then magldr. With little trouble i was able to get android to run stright from bootup now instaed of going thru windows. Everything runs great except for wifi, i technicly not sure if data works as to i dont have it on yet, soon tho.... soon...
Any ideas would be much thanks. BTW im trying PARANOIDANDROID HD2 [v1.5b][TABLET/HYBRID][CM9][tytung HWA R3] from the thread [26-Aug-12][sd/mag] paranoid jellybean hd2 Beta v1.992.
You said you tried the same apn under windows and it worked. Now you're on ICS and it doesn't work.
I had this problem a while ago when I went on a vacation, it just used to say "truning wifi on", but nothing shows up. It's a regional wifi problem. OK, try this: flash a rom without a simcard inserted, and check if the wifi is working. IF, it works, then WiFix SHOULD fix your issue, otherwise report back.
(Btw, there is another way to fix the regional wifi by replacing the wireless modules, but I can't find the link, sorry )

Oh, you're using an sdrom, sorry I forgot that !
No, it doesn't have to be to the internal, just a fresh install (whether nand or sd, and in your case it's SD)
And you totally misread my answer, I didn't mean Kernels and I didn't mean remove the sim while still on the same rom x)
Maybe it's my fault for writing such an answer, let me paraphrase my answer for you:
1- Remove your current build from the SD card (better if you backup your whole sd to pc and format it)
2- Remove simcard. (BEFORE INSTALLING)
3- Put totally fresh and new rom on sd.
4- Boot up ROM and test wifi.
5- Report back Read the edit
Edit:
OK, first of all, I'm sorry for not reading the whole thread. I just read it again, and will answer your questions.
You wanted to try android so you went for Icecream (which has the regional Wifi issue)
As long as the radio is correct, the stock ROM should not interfere with android.
No, if it is (truly) the regional issue, installing android through MAGLDR will not solve your issue. it will persist.
And btw, instead of doing all the steps, just try a GingerBread ROM, if wifi works there then it is the regional issue.

ok so i took sim card, formated the sd card, put fresh build on and started it. Loaded in and still same exact problem. ok so will try gingerbread.
ok so put gingerbread on phone and loaded it up and gave it a reboot just because. Loaded up, turned on wifi hit settings for it, it just said scanning. Backed out installed wifix, and dialed *#93439# it engaged and still nothing changed. Now on both this and ics i input my ssid and wep key for my home router just to try and help out but just said not in range. If i dont put that in, ice just says turning wifi on... then off then on etc..., on gigerbread it says scanning. So im stuck on what to do the only thing i havent tried far as i know (which is very little) is to flash to the interal mem.
On gingerbread you don't need the WiFix.. uninstall it.
if it says scanning, that means it's working.

[ROOT] Kindle Fire HD 7" fix for 7.3.1

If you are having issues rooting your kindle with guides online the reason behind it is that you are using an outdated version of "Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v*" Currently most of the guides all have you downloading and using Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v17. You want to use a version of Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v version 21 or above. I did mine with version 21 and my gf's with version 28. I just wanted to make sure that it would work with a latest i could find.
Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v21 can be found with the link provided below. You can also google other Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v and try them out until you get your kindle rooted.
apparently i can't link outside
d -h.st /dm9
just copy it and paste it then backspace on the spaces to make it a usable url

hi, thanks for the above.
as a total noob to this, i sppent most of thursday researching how to do this, then carried it out eventually successfully too, only to wanke up on friday morning to see my device had updated to 7.3.1.
ive now downloaded binary v28, root with restore - how do i use this version? i used this guide -
androidforums com/kindle-fire-hd-all-things-root/669366-idiots-guide-rooting-kindle-fire-hd-7-7-2-3-a.html
to carry out my rooting, so i now need to know how to do it using the v28 version, and if there is any differences to the process linked above.
also, i downloaded droidwall, and thought i had blocked the updating app, but it obviously hadnt. then i noticed at the top it said "firewall disabled" how do i enable this?
and finally, how do i get to change the launcher / user interface/ how can i change this to a one similar to the galaxy tab or something else like this?
yes, i am a noob, and all help is welcome guys. many thanks in advance.

Yeah the only difference is that you are using an upgraded version of program they have so instead of using v17 use newer version. I think once you install the new google play store all you have to do is find GO Launcher in the market place.

Download DroidWall from the googplaystore, that app disables updates. I don't know much about golauncher. If you follow the guide and have googleplaystore then you should be able to download everything.
I have confirmed that Bin4ry (I used v26) method works fine for both 7.3.0 and the new 7.3.1 update that is just rolling out. Here are some instructions that hopefully is clear for everyone (link). Obviously the main credit goes to the root method.
Was having trouble getting root again after my kindle went to 7.3.1. This worked for me. Thanks for the help!
Problems with attempting to root on 7.3.1
Hello-
I have used the "Root with Restore by Bin4ry_v29" to no avail and I am extremely perplexed as to whats going wrong. I have followed all the instructions outlined and during the process I do see multiple instances within the application saying "permissions denied" yet it continues as if everything is ok. Well, once it says everything is finished and I have rebooted the device multiple times, its EXTREMELY sluggish and borderline unresponsive. It also doesn't have root access as Superuser isn't on the device. So I am asking for any advice/guidance anyone can provide that maybe knows whats up or has had this happen and knows what the problem is.
Please help!
ps: Not new to rooting either as I have rooted all the android phones I have ever had with no problems but I know the Kindle is a different beast.
Thanks!
I'm on my phone so I can't post the link but if you search you'll find it, but I just rooted a new KFHD four days ago by using prokenexus how to root for noon guide. I followed it from start to finish and was completely successful. Took a total of about 45 minutes. He has two ways to root in his thread, automated and manual. I always like doing manual so I can see everything that is going on. But it worked like a charm. So might want to give that a look.

Found this article and worked.
Super slow after boot solved!
Ok even though this guide stated that if you are on version 7.2.3, you don't need to run rootqemu. Bat method, that was not true in my case. After running through the runme phase in cmnd prompt, choosing normal root, and letting the process finish and reboot, my device was ridiculously slow, and not rooted might I add. Here's the trick though, immediately after that process finishes, you need to run the Rootqemu method also. But when you try to run Rootqemu.bat by right clicking and running as administrator, it doesn't recognize the device. What I had to do was left click on ONLY the folder that contained the Rootqemu files, and while only that folder is highlighted, you hold down the shift key and right click on the folder. Then you are going to click on "run command prompt here". Once the command prompt opens, you are going to type Rootqemu.bat and press enter. Then you can press 1 to root, let the program run through its few stages, and after it reboots several times and finishes it's process, voila no more lag, and you should be finally rooted. Also after that process, download a program called Kindlefree. It's an absolutely amazing, and simple way to install all the essential Google apps "aka" Gapps to your rooted Kindle fire hd. I hope this helps everyone like it did me!

I Have i too but i accidentally cut the kindle off in the prosses so i kinda have it. all i got out of it was adding the batt % in status bar. also amazon says it is a minor update so there are no release notes.
For future referencef any further visitors
Hello fellow users and visitors. I've been following this site for a while now, yes I'm considered a "noob" here but I have my experiences well beyond the level of a "noob." This is my first post, and I indeed have a KF HD 7. Since there is so much confusion as far as CLEAR NEWBIES INSTRUCTIONS, I've decided to give everyone the guide I used to root my Kindle, which was derived from a guide here at XDA itself. You can find it here at
androidcowboy (DOT) com /2013/04/root-kindle-fire-hd-7-3-0-firmware/
This DOES indeed work for 7.3.1 as mine was, it took me two tries. But heed my warning, rooting this beauty MAY cause some issues as it has to mine such as randomly shutting off, battery showing up as 0% on some occasions when it is turned on, and sometimes refusing to charge more frequently than it used to. Those issues eventually happen without root, some people have these problems the first week of having a fresh new KFHD7, and I have friends with the same Kindle, rooted, and theirs do not present same issue, so I guess some do some don't.
Good luck and happy rooting. Now you can revive Google Play!
Another confirmation for 7.3.1. I followed Android Cowboy's procedures for both rooting and installing Google Play. Very easy. Thanks Cowboy!

If you have issues rooting, please go to my thread in my signature. I addressed the issue of rooting on 7.3.1, and have written quick explanation for rooting with Bin4ry's method. The guide goes on to help you flash a custom ROM, should you so desire to get rid of that nasty Amazon OS interface.

[SOLVED kind of] Really need help with a friends Nexus 6p

I tried to flash it but it only bootloops for me. Have tried almost everything it seems. Have never had so much trouble flashing a phone.
I have tried Lieage os 15.1 but after i tried to flash N2G48B_4Cores.img from this side https://www.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p-bootloop-fix/ Lineageos bootloops even faster. Even tried the twrp from the side who requires a password I cant find so it it is useless.
I have tried Aquatios but it bootloops.
I have tried to flash stock android but it says something about the zip is wrong.
Someone who knows what I should do or am I stuck? I forgot to make a backup to so I am a bit desperate. Never forget it usually but only because it's not my phone I do forget.
I hope someone knows what I should do.
*EDIT* [SOLVED]
Trie this and got a bit further: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ne...t/rom-lineageos-16-0-nexus-6p-angler-t3849169
Only that the screen flashes soon after after the settings come up and turn itself of after a while.
I have not flashed the radio though. Is that necessary?
*EDIT 2* [NOT SOLVED]
The radio were necessary for wifi.
Now is the problem with signing in to google.
Never can anything go smoothly.
I solved it finally. Will remove the thread as soon as I see how I do. Have not used xda in a while.

Good to hear. So what did you do wrong and what did you do to fix it?

Yeah. What did I do. Tried until I found a solution that worked. Think I mentioned it (did not). This thread I looked at to solve that problem: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ne...t/rom-lineageos-16-0-nexus-6p-angler-t3849169
I had to flash a bootloader file and after that it worked better.
But I can't sign in to google how I do. Will try a couple of other gapps. Hopefully someone will work.
I have seen this before but don't remember how I solved it back then.
It even bootloops if it don't like the gapps.
New problems every time. A new one again where it crashes in the initial settings.
It stopped suddenly and is now back to checking info and this time it said it can't connect to google servers.
Have never ever worked with such a ****ty phone.
*EDIT*
I give up. It is as good as it gets.
If someone else of her friends wants to try so be my guest.
Over and out for this time.
If it's toast from the infamous bootloop issue can't blame you for setting the phone aside. But if you venture back to it I'd suggest flashing stock Google firmware then doing the 4cores fix if needed.
