Hi all,
Inspired by the post made by crnkoj, Fix for nonworking WiFi on Simunlocked ATT Atrix 4G I decided to exploit this method and avoid the backdraws it has.
It worked very well for me on my 1.5.2, i don't see any problems with other versions as well.
Instead of restricting access to the settings.db file I decided to use db triggers to restrict changes for wifi_country_code.
The script (I modified the script from GladRoot4.2) can be found here
Many thanks to crnkoj, who came up with this solution and GladRoot team for the script.
DISCLAIMER
THIS IS ALL ON A BASIS OF INFORMING PEOPLE
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE, LOSS OF DATA, OR BRICKED DEVICES IN CONJUNCTION OF TRYING OUT THESE STEPS
DO IT ON YOUR OWN RISK.
Instructions for the fix:
1.Do the factory reset with non-working sim in the phone.
2.Boot and register MotoBlur with wifi.
3.Switch wifi off!!!
4.Switch the device off and insert your sim card. Power the device back on.
5.Without switching on the wifi enter your MotoBlur details again (no need for internet connection).
6.Root the device.
7.Apply fix.
8.Reboot.
You should be fine. Switch on wifi and enjoy. I had to switch wifi on and back off twice to make it work.
Best regards,
Kiza
Great job Alexander!
I'm assuming this doesn't work on the Bell Atrix.
Great job Akizakian! I was looking into that way 2 weeks ago or so but i have almost no sql programming skills, so it was out of my league to do it. I think this fixes it all
I devised a better solution to this one. The problem lies in the WLAN drivers in the /system/etc/firmware/wifi/ the three binary files. I exchanged those with the driver files from the optimus lg 2x/speed and now everything works without any restrictions on the settings.db, i must test the situation if all wifi routers work with it, but i think there shouldnt be a problem, eventually someone can try to only change 1 by 1 the driver and see which one is the problem, so in the end effect the true solution would be just to exchange one driver binary. if there is interest post here so ill upload the 3 drivers i used, otherwise i wont bother, its a pretty straight forward procedure tho. oh racecar this solution should almost 100% work for the bell atrix aswell. And once the international atrix comes out and we get our hands on an international system dump/drivers we can just use that driver.

There is intrest. I tried your solution using the files in my galaxy, that didnt work. wifi wouldnt even turn on. I would like to try yours.
pm me your email, ill send you the files attached. the thing is lg optimus 2x has basically the same board as moto atrix and luckyly the same broadcomm wlan/bluetooth chip with even fm radio on it....

can you please send me the files, the motorola atrix wifi is not working, and non of the solution they have mentioned worked so far. email: [email protected] i hope your method can solve the problems
hello,
the method did not work, tested couple of times, however wifi refused to work period, please try to check if there is something can be done to with your patch
Have you done the factory reset before trying this method? It will not work if reset is not done.
i replaced the original wifi files with the lg optimus ones and now i cant unlock my phone(unlock swipe doesnt work) no matter how many times i pull out battery and put back... any help will be really appreciated.. thank u

can someone please post the wifi drivers for one of the newer htc phones (like evo 4g).. the lg optimus drivers dont seem to work here neither doe the wifi fix patch
Well obviously this is an atrix fix not an htc evo4g... it could very much me something totally else
yes
yes i have an atrix and ok i didnt know u needed drivers from a tegra 2. n im in Ghana. i keep getting a message on command prompt saying "bad mode" after i chmod to 755 or 0755..
thanks
well do such:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system
cd /system/etc/firmware/wifi/
chmod 755 *.bin
that must work, if you copied them over properly ...

hey don't know if every one knew this already but i could not find anything on here about it,but any way
you can get into diag mode from the terminal emulator
type su then enter to give super user permissions and then type
echo 1 > /dev/qct_diag_enable (to enable diag mode)
..and your phone should go into USB diag mode. when you are done just:
echo 0 > /dev/qct_diag_enable (to disable diag mode)
works on the new cm7 rom and i guess it would work on the froyo roms as well!
hope it helps.
IT WILL HELP THE METRO CRICKET USERS WITH SERVICE PROGRAMMING !
and a big thanks to gdemi from the cyanogen(mod) forum for finding this on his htc hero!

i dont know if the link you put up works or not i could not get adb to work for me i use the terminal emulator in gsb and typed in the commands with it plugged in to the laptop i heard the sound of the usb and opened QPST and there it was, but you must leave it plugged in when you type the disable command for it to turn diag mode off!
i wonder if one of the devs could make a working app that we could just run to turn it on and off from the app???
Awesome this will be a big help! Wish I knew about this sooner!

SOME FEEDBACK WOULD BE NICE !
no feedback??
did anyone try this??
verified on my Sprint Hero, flashed to Cricket and running newly installed CM7 ROM.. now continuing on to see whether I can finally make the data portion of my service work... Thanks for this tip; it helped me get the phone to USB identify such that QPST service programming can connect.
when you run in diag mode appear something on screen emulator? I've tried many times but nothing appear on screen. The file is qct_diag_enable is correctly located under /dev folder.
I've tried with 2 version on cm7 on two different device...
When I open qspt the program tell me that there is no phone connected in dev mode. I've to activate some virtual serial port on pC?
So installed everything including Nokia update..
Settings About, Keyboard and Wifi won't open.
Did a hard reset and still no joy..
Ideas?

You need to install ALL the language cab files.

Tried to install all files and then just one at a time and error comes back that there are no applicable packages..
I think the update route is not an option anymore. You should try to flash the firmware with Nokia Care Suite
So.. I downloaded and installed NCS and got files from Navifirm.
However, when I go to Recovery, the Product Support tool doesn't see the data packages - tried rescan, and I have preferences to search in the location where the data is.
Am I missing a step? I have them downloaded, but is there an installation for the data package I'm missing?
Thanks for any help!

Copythe folder holding the files you got from Navifirm to C:\ProgramData\Nokia\Packages\Products and rename the folder to the model number (as in 'RM-801' for the EU Lumia 800)
Then in NCP do File>open product and select the correct product
Sending the language cabs fixed this for me. No need to reflash or lose any data.
Goodbye for Now, Lumia..
Thank you all for the very helpful and instructive comments.
I did in fact attempt to use cabsender to send all language files to the Lumia; failed. Then tried one at a time; also failed. That's turned out to be the death nell (sp?)
I finally got the hang of NCS, got the correct files to appear, and also did the manual driver installations for x64. NCS could read my phone, but when I did the actual recovery, no matter what the phone just would not go into recovery. Would always power up and stick me either on starting or on checking mode. I even tried different button hold combos and then just not pressing anything - to no avail.
So it left me with a phone that could take and receive phone calls, but no access to ANYTHING requiring alpha input - including SMS and email.
Looking back, I think I may have also had a hardware issue. I could never get bluetooth to keep a connection properly - and many other RM-801 owners told me theirs worked fine; mine was not under warranty so was stuck. I don't know if that had anything to do with the phone rejecting the language files for 8112 and 8773, or with it not responding to any flash attempts - but wouldn't be surprised.
Today, I am thanking the Gods that I never got around to selling my HD7. I recommissioned it and got the new SIM for it and it's up and running nicely now. I figure if anyone dumps a Lumia *900 for less than $100, I'll go for it, but otherwise am intending to use this until I get my hands on a WP8 near the end of the year.
I found to my surprise that using the larger screen on the HD7 though less pretty was really refreshing. I love the form factor of the Lumia 800, but I think the Metro UI really deserves a bigger screen.
Anyway, congrats to all who had success and again many thanks to those who tried to help me yesterday and last night. Am sure we'll connect again when we have our Lumia Liquid Metal PureView WP8's!
Cheers,

Try doing a simple refurbish instead of recovery. It doesn't require any buton acrobatics, just plug the phone in after starting NCS. The only trick in this case involves renaming the ROM files to match your phones Product Code, If you choose to flash with different variant.

Interesting; I'll give it a try!
I did remember that cabsender does a restore, but that didn't work.
I thought of the refurbish, but the software wouldn't appear. I will try your method after work tonight. Might be the trick.
Still suspicious of my phone's hardware, but man, I can live with it until WP8..

Don't even bother with cabsender recovery - it uses Zune and Zune backups are uttterly useless.
NCS recovery means flashing a dead phone (or playing dead to force a different variant ROM) - that's where you need VolUp while powering on.
NCS refurbish means flashing a working phone - you plug it in normally and ROM file names must match your product code.

Hey Skrypek, you just SAVED me!! The file renaming followed by refurbish did the trick!
Also used your method to update to a UK Variant of Tango for the RM-801 - and went SMOOTHLY with no downloading and screwing around with language packs or cab files. Everything is running perfectly and can access all alpha functions SMS MMS, Email, Wifi, About Phone - i.e. every single thing that had been malfunctioning before.
I am now a strong fan of Navifirm + Nokia Care Suite - VERY easy to work with.
Now I just have to visit the T-Mobile folks and get a new microsim card!
(edit, feeling adventurous again, I cut my SIM card - SUCCESS - so now don't have to shell out another $20 to T-Mobile )
Many thanks!
I really thought I had a brick and had posted an ebay auction for parts; glad I was able to snag the listing back!
Cheers,
Skrypek..
Did I tell you you're amazing?
Thanks again!!!!
Nice to have my Lumia back!!!
First off,i would like to apologize for being such an amateur.This is my first post on this forum,so don't get angry on me for breaking some rules (forgive me im new ,idk if i should post this here or somewhere else,don't worry i will be polite ).Anyway as the title says,im having a bit of a problem,or to be more precise a huge one.
So lately i was trying to root my phone,Huawei U8500 which was so buggy,so i decided to root it,install cwm and flash a new ROM.But the problem is i can't get it rooted.I've tried many methods from XDA but none of them worked.Z4 root loads until it displayed acquiring root access,and then the app crashes (closes itself).I've tried Framaroot,but it didn't work either.It said 'try another exploit',but the thing is it displayed me only one.I also tried poot.apk,but it also failed.Telling me '(-) can't get a handle on it:-1 Permission denied'.
(note that all the time my USB Debugging was enabled ! ) All of the apps are at latest version!
So after so many failed attempts with pc-less methods i've decided to try a PC one.The first method i used was Superoneclick,which didn't work.I thought that was because the phones model was not supported.All until a friend of mine told me that he rooted his phone using the same program (he has as well huawei u8500).Every time i try to root with superoneclick it is stuck at the second step(as in screenshot).Then i started googleing and google-ing,until i found a thread with a program called SRSroot,thinking it will safe me from this nightmare that is haunting me for days.But it failed again.The program told me 'ADB Device not found',which made me think about checking the drivers.I've installed the google usb drivers and SDK Manager with all drivers.But still the same happens.So i decided to see if my computer(later many others) recognize my device.After i typed in ADB 'adb devices' it showed me blank.Later i tried to do the same with my other phone and it displayed the device.Another thing i've noticed lately is my computer sees my device as a cd device in windows device manager.It happened with all computers i tried. I've tried it also at my friends(plural,which means more computers).I've tried it on Win7,win XP,and WIN8 and it is still displayed as cd drive.(which is not the case with other phones i've tested!)
I hope someone will read this and help me.I would also like to add, this is not my first time rooting,so i knew what i was doing.
Im so confused,idk what to do,developers pls HELP ME!!!
I will also post screenshots from all the things mentioned above.Hope this helps you figure out the problem
On the adb devices, are you sure it is setup correct, because it needs a set of rules basically. I don't have time right now. But if you search 'adb' in the xda portal (not forum) you will find a windows universal adb installer. That should fix the adb issue. But apart from that I don't know what else you can do.

Gosh that is so confusing. Could you reset your phone or do you have data you want to keep? Because you could perform an ADB backup and try a factory reset and hope that all is righted.

Short of a new phone, I got nothing. Unless you could get into a recovery, try format the system, causing a brick, flash a 2.3 ftf and then a 4.04 after that, clearing data each time.

Hey guys. I was going to post this on the Android Forums, but the L9 board there isn't getting hardly any traffic, so I suppose I'll just repaste here:
Hey guys, it's loopy time. xD
I've been through XDA, again, nobody seems to really have an answer for this, or even an answer for me. There's this guy over there named Kuma that made a stock 2nd-init locked bootloader ROM based off of 10e. I don't really desire to go back to it, but I like the fact that it comes with the xposed framework which you all know is an easy way to theme things that you should be able to theme, like making the status bar and notification area transparent.
I made a mistake in thinking that you can install Chainfire 3D on a locked BL, boy was I wrong. Two soft bricks later, I end up on 10d then do the OTA update to 10e. I've got the LG Mobile Support tool working as the offline flash. So I threw d on there and it worked....until I decided that I wanted to enable USB debugging.
There was a thread where I was advised to use Fastboot to flash the U and X boots, which I succeeded, but it wiped most of the partitions. At first I was panicking like...OMG, the family is going to worry because at this point I thought I was hard bricked, and my father is ill yada yada. So after about twenty minutes of crying and flipping out, I was able to get the USB for fastboot working with OMAP (which is tricky to install!) Three bottles of Pepsi Cola later, some chips, and a honey bun, I was able to get back to stock 10d.
Now, I've tried various drivers to try and get this thing to a go for ADB so I could root, install 2nd-init, and get Kuma's ROM back. I tried the updated drivers from the LG website. I have tried LG drivers 3.8.1.
The issue that I am having is that I am unable to access any of the connectivity modes while USB debugging is checked. If I uncheck it and try to plug it in, everything works perfectly. However, when USB Debugging is checked, no matter what connectivity mode I am on, I suffer with the LG Software coming up in autoplay and furthermore disconnecting after about ten seconds.
I tried in Ubuntu Linux to get it to work, and the same thing happens. This leads me to believe that either there is something wrong with the phone or something wrong with my computer, but other devices work. I'm really confused. Is there partitions for 10e MS769 MetroPCS that I can flash via fastboot to correct this? Is there another tool I can use to do this? I pretty much know fastboot is the key, but i'm going to need some assistance.
Hope you guys have an answer. I sure don't.
Please help me with this. I am familiar with fastboot maybe its a bad .bin file?
Assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks,
LoopyD
Bump.
Anyone?
Had the same problem, usb debug and any sort of adb connection doesn't work. Kuma comes to the rescue like the super hero he is and helped me fix it. Here is the post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49475336#post49475336 . Oddly enough this problem got worse for me I had it for about 3 months and it resulted in constant crashes and constant resets. Thank Kuma's post if it works!
Thank you sir. The ADB executable installer now shows the device. Problem solved.

Hi all, I was in the process of trying to put Android 5.0 on my Verizon G3. I was following this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/general/howto-update-to-stock-lollipop-23a-t3044398. I downgraded to 10b, upgraded to 12b and then the last step, which is when things went wrong is I was upgrading to 23b (5.0) via the Action Launcher method and when the device when to boot back up to install the update it failed.
Im now stuck to where I can not power up the device, I get the LG screen and it says "Secure Boot Error/Certificate Error".. something along those lines. I lost the ability to get into download mode, it tries and then shows the boot error screen before going black.. the notification lights also flash amber and blue. The only thing I can get into is Recovery mode by Volume down + power but I tried every option.. safe mode, wipe cache, factory reset, usb debug mode all give me the boot error screen before going black.
Any suggestions before I trash the device?
I don't know how to get out of that situation, but if you post in the Verizon G3 Q&A section, someone might have some ideas.
Otherwise, I'd go to a Verizon store, tell them that you received am OTA update and left your phone like that.

This is the VZW G3 Q&A no?
I called tech, said I received an update and wasn't sure what happened but the phone wont start now, its going through insurance with the $100 deductible but my concern now is, the tech said if they find it was modded in any way I would be charged $300. The phones not rooted or anything, just a bad file I tried to apply I guess through Action Launcher. But with the notification lights flashing different colors and a boot error message I feel busted lol.
If I can somehow fix the phone I would like to try. I've been in bad situations with other devices and have always found a way out, but this being my first LG device I'm feeling lost and worried its too late.

I understand. Don't blame me if I'm wrong, but I doubt if they'll be able to tell. First thing they'll do is put it back to Stock with some advanced tool of their, and I'm sure it'll wipe internal storage where the file was.

This is for the g2 but I believe it will work. You'll need to run linux or a linux live cd and find the correct files for vs985. Theyre on autoprimes site. If you cant find them reply to this and ill track down the url.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142
That should work , I bricked my g2 and was able to fix it using
Fastboot commands, I'm thinking you can use adb commands
And fix your phone. You basically have to push .img files to
The phone through adb. Good luck
Edit, I could always swap mother boards for under two hundred
And just don't even go through your insurance. Check eBay and
Amazon they sell them.

Yeah I was looking at that last night.. I wouldn't have to be rooted though? I'll see if I can find the files I need. I've never run Linux before but its worth a shot. I was kind of discouraged when I read about a similar G3 user who tried the process with no luck.
Alright I found these.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/general/reference-stock-img-files-t2966958
Would those do? And what mode would I put the device in? The computer does not recognize the phone..download mode won't work and recovery mode options won't work either. I'm familiar with adb and fastboot but if someone could post the commands I need it would be helpful..in the meantime I'm going to try and see if I can find them myself. Thanks

Does your phone even show as qhsusb_bulk or similar in device manager while in Linux? Make sure you use the img's from the firmware you were installing when you had the problem. I assume 23B. The commands are in the link I posted above but keep in mind they are for the G2. It's likely to DD commands, ie. partition locations are different on the G3, I don't know the correct ones. Maybe some research can dig them up. Doesn't look too bad assuming you can get linux to recognize the phone in some form, which it should and that you're able to verify the location of the partitions for G3. Wish I could be more help. It was a long time ago when I went through this on the G2

This is the VZW G3 Q&A no?
I called tech, said I received an update and wasn't sure what happened but the phone wont start now, its going through insurance with the $100 deductible but my concern now is, the tech said if they find it was modded in any way I would be charged $300. The phones not rooted or anything, just a bad file I tried to apply I guess through Action Launcher. But with the notification lights flashing different colors and a boot error message I feel busted lol.
If I can somehow fix the phone I would like to try. I've been in bad situations with other devices and have always found a way out, but this being my first LG device I'm feeling lost and worried its too late.

I've never had to do insurance for a bad update.
I have TEC and in those cases where there is absolutely no damage, I get a replacement for free.
YMMV but I wouldn't pay $100.

This is for the g2 but I believe it will work. You'll need to run linux or a linux live cd and find the correct files for vs985. Theyre on autoprimes site. If you cant find them reply to this and ill track down the url.

It's a bit confusing the way it's written in the guide. I believe you use the 23b files in your case. Reread it to be sure.
The files are here- http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/general/reference-stock-img-files-t2966958
More files here if needed http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G3
I'm not even sure my phone is being recognized..at least nothing pops up. I'm not familiar with terminal commands in linux. At this point I'm lost.. I messaged auto prime to see if he could help out. I'm not even sure where to begin converting that g2 guide for use with the g3.
For the hek of it I'm putting the android SDK on Linux just to see if I can get fastboot to recognize the phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/fix-unbrick-lg-g3-stuck-qualcomm-hs-usb-t2933853 you can try this from Windows if your phone is showing up as Qualcomm in device manager.

Qualcomm driver is on this page.. 252-253 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142&page=252
Good luck, I was able to get the phone recognized as qhsusb_bulk, then as qualcomm 9008 but eventually gave up after spending over 2 days researching and trying different methods before i threw in the towel.. I even had help via remote access to my computer with no luck. Check the thread I linked there were a few guys willing to help out.
My replacement G3 actually arrived today.. still cant believe I hard bricked a device.

I'm assuming using the tool to push the img files but I didn't get that far.
