[Q] Help with rooting! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
Just followed the instructions for rooting and flashing my phone (can't post link yet) , ran into a few issues.
I've just noticed that both my camera and wifi aren't working, did anyone else experience this?
Also, when trying to install Gingerman, it didn't seem to do anything. The screen came up, I clicked flash zip from sdcard, and it said it finished (in about 3 seconds). When it rebooted, I didn't see anything except the startup screen change.
I have a Huawei U8150, there's no specific subforum for it
Cheers!

recovery mode problem

Has anyone else had issues booting into recovery mode? I have a 10.1 GT-p7510 running android 3.2 , and i'm trying to root the device. The problem i'm encountering is when i'm booting into recovery mode the screen does appear, however its constantly and quickly moving or flashing. (Like old television sets when the horizontal alignment was out and the picture flashed/scrolled up or down really fast) Does anyone have any ideas/tips?
@i just reflash the original firwmare to do again the root ecc but the problem persist..

[Q] Wifi will not turn on

I have a Transformer Prime and I decided to flash CM9. I installed CWM via Rom Manager. This was my first time flashing with my prime but I have flashed many times with my droid 1 so I'm not completely new to this. Wiped data, flashed CM9 and then flashed google apps on top of that. This created a bootloop for whatever reason which I fixed using adb. (First time ever using adb). CM9 booted up fine but when it goes to ask for my account info during first bootup, the wifi wont turn on. It says "Turning wifi on" but never does anything. Let it sit for half an hour and nothing. Decided to skip that thinking it might work when everything is booted up. Suffice to say, doesn't work. Says MAC address unavailable. Bluetooth wont turn on either. Can't browse files at all due to no file manager app. Rom manager is installed but says CWM is no longer installed. Can boot into fastboot only but not CWM. Can't reinstall CM9 or stock ROM due to no CWM. Anyone know how I can fix this? I would just like to get the wifi on or get back to stock if that is necessary. Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: Correction, am now able to enter CWM, going to wipe and reflash.
EDIT2: Solved the issue. Figures, after 5 hours of trying to figure it out and then posting, I fix the issue in 10 minutes. Sorry for the post.
Glad you made it.
Thank you for getting through this either alone or through search. Also, thank you for sharing how you solved it. Can i also thank you again for editing the title of the thread to include a [SOLVED] tag?

Lenovo A1 help!

Hi first off i'm sorry if i didn't post this in the correct area.
So my Lenovo A1 tablet has been really acting up lately due to a failed flash of the newest version of Cyanogenmod 7. After the failed flash, I flashed the ramdisk needed for my device which is called, "stock-at-ramdisk-2643.zip" then i restored the backup as the directions said. Now my wireless either says, "error" or it doesn't scan for networks nearby. Also I'm getting random reboots pretty much ever 1-2 minutes. I'm pretty sure i ran through the instructions correctly.
Any help is appreciated!
This is the link for CM7 for the A1. Check here for your issue and possible answers.

[Q] Failed update, cannot run applications

Before Christmas I tried to do a OTA update on my Prime, which has not been successful and I have not been able to use the Prime since.
It has previously been rooted and previously have always been successful in using Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper to retain root after updates. I've not unlocked the Prime.
Now when I try to boot it spends a while 'optimizing' the applications (as if it was the first time i've booted it since the update), and then once it is started, no apps will startup, all of them resulting in saying "unfortunately xyz has stopped"
A video of the problem: youtu.be/e1yfTtGiR78 (sorry can't post full link as am a new user).
I'd like to get it working again, possibly installing the Androwook ROM (or at the very least, just working on the stock rom). What steps do I need to do from where I am at the moment?
There are many threads about flashing roms, brick-fixing (some more up to date than others), but I'd just like a bit of advice about this problem and what I should do next (maybe some good links?). I haven’t gone near doing any flashing on the Prime, and it would be nice to seperate the things I could do, from the things I -should- do (I don't know where to start).
I believe as the Nvidida logo is on the bottom right this means I'm on the JB bootloader? Currently the settings menu shows I'm on android 4.1.1, but not sure if this is pre or post the failed update.
Thanks for any help,
Steve
A factory reset will fix you up. You'll lose your data
Hold vol down + power when booting to access the boatloader menu. Select wipe with vol down and use vol up to confirm.
Hi,
Thanks, I've done the reset, but I still seem to have the same problem.

I can't actually proceed throuh the inital set up, because it closes itself when it gets to the account setup page.
Any ideas?
I have resolved this.
I downloaded the latest firmware from the ASUS support website, extracted the zip file from within the downloaded zip file and renamed it to EP201_SDUPDATE.ZIP .
Put this on a microSD card (which I had formatted to FAT32), inserted it into the Prime, then booted into the bootloader menu.
Selected the RCK option, it did the update, and 10 minutes later it was up and running again.
From what I have read, it won't try to complete the update if it thinks you have already got that version installed already, but I guess it knew it hadn't successfully completed the update previously.
Glad it's working again.

[Q] Hisense Sero Pro 7 - wifi stuck turning on

Hi all.
I'm running xboxexpert's 4.2.1 ROM with the UI MOD and clockworkmod recoverty 6.0.3.2. I keep wifi off generally for battery unless I need it. One day turning it on it gets stuck with the "Turning wi-fi on..." text but nothing happening.
I had wifi fixer installed to see logging at one point and it's help pointed to a possible know issue where this happens and said flashing is the only fix. OK fine I'll flash. Nope, same thing.
I've tried some of the other ROMS in the hisense forum but they've all failed. aosp's throw a warning that there's no file_contexts**, it fails to umount cache. Once it gets passed symlinking and metadata the applyparsedperms throws an error: operation not supported so the install is aborted. Do I need to load a different/newer recovery mod for these?
I've also tried the stock ROM and have the same issue w/wifi getting stuck when turning on.
Every time before I flash I'm formatting everything clockwork lets me: cache, data, system, modem, sdcard, dalvik. Each time I get it to boot, wifi is stuck.
I'm a bit of an android noob so speak in small sentences please.
Thanks.

Tried to post there. Site wouldn't let me due to low post count.
I also haven't found a thread that has helped me yet so I figured start one so I could get my hand held through fixing this or figuring out my wifi is busted at this point.

My tablet had a similar problem and I gave up on it, I even sent it in for warranty worked for a couple of months then it went dead... well not exactly, it works perfectly at my work's wifi, other than that it's gone. Heck I even replaced the wifi antenna and not even with the hot spot underneath it it connects to it. That was almost a year and a half ago, since then it just sits there waiting to be thrown out the window...
