Wifi won't work after trying to root. Help!

So I posted a thread here asking for help (the phone was functional at this point) and one user suggested a root method to try out in the comments there http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2379833
After running this root method my wifi is now dead. It's killing me! Someone please help me out here.
My phone model is a Japanese Softbank 201 M with the 4.1.2 update. It's not rooted but is unlocked. The phone is the developer edition if that helps any.

Ouch. Your WiFi is broken because he told you to flash a US VZW (XT-907) firmware.
Okay. First, you should try to find a 201M restore file. That will get your WiFi back. Next, since you've got a Dev edition, you can bootloader unlock and install a custom recovery, then flash a root zip
EDIT: Found it

While the link I gave him was unidentified as to warnings to non vzw users (now fixed) , the flashing of vzw sw comes in step 8 clearly he would have had to have pulled it from a xml himself if he even got that far. And if he did it would have been from reading the rzr op. As the bare motochopper has no vzw sw inside.

Oh my bad. Thought you sent him to your other post... Still I suspect he got to step 8 and pulled the vz firmware.
OP: Download one of those restore files for the 201M and flash it. That should repair any damage done...

I didn't get the system img at all. I just wanted to flash the superuser files to /data which I thought would set me up to flash the whole thing with Rom manager.
Anyway, thank you for the help. I am downloading the firmware you linked to now. This guide tells me to edit the XML file and remove the getvar text from it, should this apply here as well? (Edit: Cant post outside links, but I think you get my point)
I'm going to use RSD 6.1.4 to restore the firmware. Any further instructions would be appreciated as I have never done this before.

Don't think you'll need to since it's designed for your device. You can try without the edit and do it if it doesn't work. I'll try to find a guide for RSDLite (been a while since I used it myself - fastboot is usually what I use now...

Dear sir,
I'd like you to buy a ticket to Karachi right now because I'd run all the way to the airport to KISS YOU until the police dragged me away.
The process worked. My wifi just turned back on. Thank you very much for the weekend stress relief!
I think I'm gonna give up on the idea of rooting this thing until there's a more reliable method available. Also, if anyone has the same issue then take note: I did remove the getvar commands when using RSD.

I am glad SC took care of you & I am sorry I lead you in that direction.
Please fill in some details for others?
How do you have a path to the newer sw? Is it your carriers ota? If you can obtain the same in the xml form there is an easy root using a modded ver w/ unlocked phone. The ota.zip could also be useful if you take it while you have root. It resides in /cache.
Thank you

It wasn't your fault for trying to help, so it's ok. I'm glad a solution existed.
I'm more than willing to answer the questions, but I am a layman here so please explain some things for me: What do you mean by SW? I just installed the update by going into about phone -> system update on Wifi. The carriers here don't even support 3G, much less 4G (So now you know why Wifi was important for me).
The phone came unlocked day one when I bought it from a friend's friend. I don't know if he did it that way or if it comes unlocked because it is the developer edition.
I installed CW Recovery using Fastboot. I installed the incorrect superuser file using Motofail which wrote the superuser file but failed at all other steps. I was then unable to either access or remove this superuser apk file.
Since I am back on 4.0.4. now, what's the easy way to get root access and superuser permissions that you mention? I wish other XT902 owners would post here too, generating interest would really help in getting development support for this phone.

Lol no problem, glad to know it worked. Getting root is actually really simple since you're unlocked. All you need to do is flash a custom recovery and flash a root .zip from there... No exploits required
I can try to write up a guide to that if you want

Once you root on 404 you can grab your update.zip & copy it to your sd . Any rooting exploit would evolve from that Or the newest xml ver of the 404 you just flashed from rsd. You may be able to request it from your carrier.
---------- Post added at 01:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:40 PM ----------
You can paste the mods from my vzw restore (no vzw software will be used) into the 404 xml & obtain root from a preinstalled cwmr! Then maintain root with voodoo for your ota.
I will help you just read the op. Link is in my signature.

Can you upload the xml only ~ 1kb

Return to older Version from OTA Update.

I just messed with the phone and find a way to return to older version. (Flash with your risk). If you accident update the tmobile version and you want to go back to the older version. there's a way to do(so far it is working my rogers moto x). I am not quite sure it will work on bootloader lock device, please becareful.
1. Grab an FXZ rom that belong to your phone
2. Download the update file from this guy
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45866557&postcount=27
3. unzip that file and replace gpt.bin to your FXZ rom folder.
4. flash the rom from RSD Lite.
5. Should be good to go.
If you get this working, please thx to the one who create that zip.:good:
Oh almost forget , for those rogers user and want to use lte on tmobile rom, replace fsg.mbn on fxz tomobile and flash it then you will enable the rogers band lte(you will still get lte even you do the ota update).

So you are saying by flashing a different fsg.mbn file you can unlock different bands?

That only work if your phone have the band, cause in tmobile ROM, we cant get LTE from their ROM, so I replace the fsg and reflash the the T-Mobile. Then I get the LTE access. That's what I have notice so far, I will try more tomorrow once I have time

Do you think this would be the best way to go about trying to see if T-Mobile's AWS HSPA will work on the AT&T model? I'm willing to give it a shot later today as long as I can get back to stock if something breaks.

There isn't any modem firmware in those files if you checked. Still waiting for a possible Tmobile modem dump. The other way might be QSPT tool if the phone is detected.

I hadn't dealt with the fsg.mbn file before, but I thought NON-HLOS.bin was associated with the modem?

To be honest I'm not familiar with how moto does their file structure but poking around in the actual device. The baseband is 100 MB, so just judging by file size I don't think those are the actual modem bin files. I tried the T-mobile 4.3 baseband but got unknown however that was from a 4.3 image, so possibly missing 4.3's slightly file structure probably bootloader.

Work on any rom after update... Delete the gpt.bin line on the xml flash files... You can go back without any problem
Anothers things... Rogers baseband are not optimised with tmobile roms...
Battery drain a lot faster... I will wait...

You can delete the gpt.bin line in the .XML to restore back ? No problems caused by this ? What is it neglecting to do by doing this method ?

[Q] LG G2 D801 (Claro PR Variant) rooting?

Hey guys,
I was wondering, is there any type of root and/or rom for the Claro Puerto Rico variant of the LG G2?
The model is the same as the T-Mobile one, D801. It also has LTE.
Could any of you tell me if the t-mobile root would work, and if so, would a T-Mo rom work too?
Here is some of the Hardware and Software information from the phone:
Hardware Information:
Model Number: LG D801
Memory: 32GB
Software Information
Android Version: 4.2.2
Build Number: JDQ39B
Kernel Version: 3.4.0

I'm also curious about this, given as this phone identifies itself as a D801. It would be grand if a T Mobile rom could be installed, given that I could certainly benefit from wifi calling.
Speaking of which, if I wanted to install a custom recovery such as TWRP, I wonder what version I would need to use, the Roger/Wind version (these phones are usually Canadian) or the T Mobile one (as the phone identifies itself as a D801...

Exactly. I'm just waiting for an answer, I wouldn't like to risk it yet and I really dont have money for a replacement :/

Just got to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448887
download the root files, and follow these instructions. You will be rooted in no time.
so, here are the steps to get root on a Wind Mobile G2.
1) Open root.bat in notepad
2) Do Crtl+F and look for ":ATTTMORoot" without the quotes but include the semi colon
3) a few lines underneath that line where you found ":ATTTTMORoot" you'll see a line which looks like this:
.\adb.exe push g2_security /sdcard/g2_security
4) replace that line with this:
.\adb.exe push ytiruces_1a_d803 /sdcard/ytiruces_1a
5) Save file and close notepad
6) Double click root.bat and follow the instructions as usual.
Then go to playstore and download supersu, done.
For recovery you can download Flashify from playstore and use that to flash the Rogers TWRP wich is the one that works. As for roms, d803 roms are the ones that work, any other variant will have to have a kernel change for it to work. Any more questions feel free to ask

Any idea where can I find the stock rom for this phone? I've searched high and low and came up back with nothing. The closest I got was flashing a Wind mobile stock rom, but since Wind mobile doesn't have LTE, the LTE icon is nowhere to be found (I DO get LTE, but the icon stays at 4G).

Got it already from the previous link you posted, thanks for these anyways! The only reason I want the stock rom is to see if the LTE icon sticks from the stock rom after flashing Clean ROM on top of it; did this on top of the Wind variant rom, and the LTE icon is nowhere to be found (even though I get LTE). Now, if there was a way where I could swap the 4G icon for a LTE one, that would be gravy; unfortunately, the only guides I Seem to find are for deodexed roms :/

I got my G2 from Claro a couple days ago and managed to root it by combining the manual root method by autoprime HERE with the advice @prking07 gave on POST #6
I followed these steps:
1. Download IORoot15 from HERE
2. Extract it to a new folder in your desktop.
3. Open command prompt (cmd) in that same folder. You can do this by typing "CHDIR C:\Users\'Username'\Desktop\'FolderName'" in cmd. **Do not type quotations in the cmd
4. Then on your phone enable developer options and USB Debugging. If you don't know how, watch THIS video.
5. Connect your phone and make sure its drivers are installed. then check if the phone is online by typing "adb devices" in cmd. It shoud show the device's ID.
6. Then follow the commands in the autoprime's manual method that I linked above and on step #2 type "adb push ytiruces_1a_d803 /sdcard/ytiruces_1a"
7. Unplug usb, go to developer options and disable USB debugging. Now disable (OFF) Developer Options. Turn On Developer Options. Enable USB Debugging. Once you've done that, re-plug your usb... IF YOU DO NOT TURN OFF THEN BACK ON DEVELOPER OPTIONS IT WILL NOT WORK!!
8. Finally follow steps 3-8 from the manual method and your phone should be rooted.
Here are some screenshot on how the command prompt looked like and the confirmation that it's rooted. These are basically the steps you have to follow once you open command prompt from the folder.

Thats exactly what I did, and then flashed TWRP with Flashify. I'm using Cleanrom with the Xposed Framework, plus Gravity box and the G2 Xposed app and Nova. Everything is running smoothly.
Btw, Dont flash the Paranoid Android rom or Slimbean. They all have issues, such as grainy camera or Huge battery drain.
Here's what I got til now.

Can't call from Costa Rica with GOLDENFINGER rom

Hi everybody
Yesterday installed a new version of http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att/development/movin-please-posts-t2864506
I do all the movements and a correct installation; but when I try to make a call a message saying "No registered" or like "no service" appears. This happens in all the iB4STiD new version of roms in every Kernels.
The carrier is "CLARO" and the kind of band is UMTS or HSPA+
Please help!

Did you configure the APN settings for your carrier? If not, you can find the menu in...
Settings > Wireless and Networks > More Settings > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names
I am on ATT, so I cannot verify if these work, but I did find these...

Thanks for reply! The problem isn't in the apn or internet conection... Is in all the carrier registration, that means can't call or send sms.
Sometimes the 4G symbol appears and I can navigate in internet but don't allow me to call.

APN settings is all I had. I have an ATT on ATT network, so I do not have too much experience configuring the phone on other carriers.
In the OP, you mentioned "This happens in all the iB4STiD new version of roms in every Kernels." Did it work on his older ROMs or another dev's ROM? If so, I'd suggest flashing one of those to see if it is still working.

Confirmed! I try with every Kernel and the solution is only install the GE 37 or less... can somebody speak to iB4STiD

PM him with ALL your details--
Did you wipe (not format) System/Data/Caches? I do it 3X
If you don't have lte, did you change your preferred data choice to hspa+/3g or whatever choice has no lte in it.
Pull and reinsert your sim--

Yes, yes and yes. I do all, but nothing change. I installed a old version of GE (37, 38, 38.1) doesn't work.
Now I'm trying with GE 30. First I trying SHOstock and seems work.

I got more information for you!
The problem started when I installed a KK 4.4.4 Rom, before this never happened anything and always a custom rom allowed me to call.
PD: ONLY with the stock rom (I337UCUAMDL_I337ATTAMDL_ATT) and a based 4.4.4 custom rom is installed it can use the phone for call. Not just the internet!

Anybody knows something about that???

You are on mdl firmware. It's android 4.2.2. You could try flashing a new modern. See rockrat's modems in the general forum

No, it'll just flash the modern. Nothing else will change. I'm not sure if it will help you though. It could, modems sometimes work better and other times not. It depends on where you are and what works better in that location. You can always flash back to the mdl modem, i.e. baseband

How to root the T-Mobile Note 7 using the sprint leaked firmware.

Here's how you do it: Follow the EXACT SAME GUIDE FROM THE SPRINT NOTE 7 SECTION!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-note-7/how-to/root-super-leaky-bros-sprint-galaxy-t3447202
To get LTE to work again just add the T-Mobile APN (not that hard).
Also, you might want to freeze all the "Sprint OMADM" packages with titanium backup once you're rooted (will cause less of a hassle everytime you boot. I understand the devs in the "all things root" thread are holding this from you because they want to fix wifi calling but I think giving you root at all will tie you over for now. Also, I'm having problems downloading the gear VR apps with this so it's related to following this tutorial.
Thank you so much to the developers who made this possible for the Sprint note 7 and for everyone who brought this to the other variants (the T-Mobile note 7 was the easiest imo). It's a little funny to think that this whole time it was this easy and we could've been rooted all along. *If you really need the T-Mobile firmware rooted so you can enjoy wifi calling I've been working on something for a few hours but it's not ready.*
T-Mobile APN: https://bestmvno.com/apn-settings/t-mobile-apn-settings/
Edit: YouTube video added.

Here's the APN information for T-Mobile if you need it.
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-17581

I thought it was going to be a quick video tutorial

If you're wondering why the model number ends with a "P" is because it's sprint firmware, silly. Your model number will appear as that. In the video you can see I am on T-Mobile. Yes, I do have a T-Mobile note 7. You can find some of my posts of me waiting for my note 7 in Charlie's waiting room thread.

It's literally the same thing as rooting the sprint note 7 except you need to add your APN and disable a few packages. Not that hard.

I get lost towards the part about adb I'm sorry

Uh, this is from freeza? It's his thread that you are following but for the sprint note 7. It turns out it flashes perfectly on the T-Mobile note 7 with no problems and you can add the T-Mobile APN to fix LTE (that's what worked for me).
He leaked the firmware, we're toying with his work (well I barely did anything as you didn't need to do much different for the T-Mobile variant). But yes, I can see why you'd wait for the official ONLY if it is based off of T-Mobile firmware.

Meant to say i'll wait for him to release the info on how to fix wifi calling and volte.

Thank you for this info @ethanscooter, I do not care for VOLTE or WC. I just want to block ads and run youtube with the display off. Question, assuming this process will wipe all the data off my phone correct?

WFC and VoLTE might be a bit of a ***** since sprint doesnt offer it and we are using the sprint image the frameworks might just simply not be there.

It's fine, it's root. Better than nothing. You can always use a Google voice number for the meantime if you really want to. We can always make a T-Mobile flashable ROM and flash it with FlashFire.

You need to make a folder called "sun7". Then extract all the contents of the zip you download into that folder. Wherever ADB is installed that folder needs to be in the same directory. Or if ADB is not in the same location provide the path.
Example: adb.exe push C:\pathtofilehere /directory/guide/tellsyouto/pushfoldercontentsto
