Hello,
I'd like to point out that I've searched and have had no luck finding anyone with a similar issue, and/or a solution. I would post this in the specific ROM forum , but cant due to the 10 post limit. It may turn out to not be ROM specific, though I think it is.
Having said that, my problem is that my phone refuses to connect to a specfic AP. I am unlocked, s-off, rooted, etc. The problem only occurs on one specific AP I can connect to my AP at home, the local McDonalds AP, Starbucks, grocery stores, various other places... However, when I try to connect to my friends AP it won't get to obtaining IP. It flashes to "connecting..." then immediately switches to "saved, protected by PSK" I've checked the PSK to make sure I have the correct one and that I have the correct settings. The only thing I can identify as a problem is it only happens on a specific version of a specific ROM (In this case RC 4.7 of NUSenseSIX) If I use RC4.1 it will connect to any AP I point it at. The same goes for CM 11, PAC ROM, and ViperMax 2.0.0, no issues connecting to any AP. The issue only comes up with RC 4.7. I've tried dirty flashing over RC4.1, tried doing full wipe then install. Tried downloading the ROM with multiple devices at multiple locations, and even made sure the md5 matched the last few times I downloaded it. It's not as though this is a pressing issue or even that critical to me. This problem just has me totally stumped and now it's more of a quest for knowledge thing, if it gets fixed it's a bonus.
Thanks to any help I may get, and if not thanks for taking the time to read this.
Potiphar
P.S.
I'd also like to note that I've tried the whole cycling WiFi on/off, Airplane mode on/off, various WiFi settings (never sleep, battery optimization, etc...) forgetting the AP then re-entering the info, and that mobile data is turned off on my phone by me (small data plan, shared with multiple people).
Thanks again,
P
RUU back to stock.
Ask flyhalf in his thread....
Wonders_Never_Cease:
I wish I'd thought of that... Asking Flyhalf in his tread I mean... You know cause it would have saved everyone the unspeaka... wait.... what's that? In the second sentance of the OP? Oh... I had thought of it. That's right, there is some antiquarian rule about needing to post 10 things to some other section of the forum before being able to ask a question to the developer. My guess is that it's due to the banality of people who think demanding ETA's, features, fixes, and battery life expectancy is good practice. So instead of there only being a font of information here (not that it isn't) people that want to learn and help have to wade, sift, and trudge through all the chaff, flotsam, and detritus that is the trolling, flamebaiting, and sheer amount of garbage posts that amount to "ask somewhere else" or have the semantic equivalence of "uR 5tup!d" to which I can only defer to xkcd #1386. Or the clearly filler posts that are either the standard "post your homescreen!" or "which rom is best?" which I suppose are great time wasters, but in the end denote opinion and will ultimately have no "correct" answer.
I would understand if I had come across as having been hugely inconvenienced and was demanding flyhalf come to this forum and fix my problem immediatly as though I were some petulant infant, however I took the time to be specific and to ask if anyone had any insite into my issue. I even went so far as to expain that it wasn't crucial and that "now it's more of a quest for knowledge thing". I guess my issue here is I don't understanding why someone would waste thier time to post an answer that is cold, unkind, and totally unhelpful, when there is a clear, concise reason as to why that answer is nonsensical, but well.... your name says it all doesn't it. :good:
ktimque,
I suppose I could do that, and it would solve the issue, but so would flashing any of the other ROMS on this forum that were developed for my version of this phone. It would also create a bigger problem, I'd lose root and be back at square one. I'll freely concede that I may not fully understand the reasoning behind RUUing to stock, perhaps there is some strange bug preventing me from utilizing WiFi on one specific router whilst on one specific version of a ROM. Please, if there's some step in logic that i've missed as to why this would be helpful please, I'm all ears and would be open to learning something new.
Thanks to anyone who read the post and maybe thought of some interesting solutions, suppose I'll go back to lurking so that I don't waste the time of the truly great wonders... you know. the ones that never end...

My guess is that the modules for the kernel might not support the exact setup for WiFi that you are trying to use on this ROM. WPA? WPA? Long passphrase or short passphrase? Special characters? We may need that info to figure it out if @Flyhalf205 doesn't know.
@Potiphar.B
Are you using stock kernel or custom? What variant are you on?
The main differences from 4.1 and 4.7 is that 4.7 is deodexed.
First thanks to all the responders, I'll do my best to answer your questions.
@dottat
The Network is protected by WPA2-PSK TKIP&AES The Passphrase is a single word with one capital letter spelled normally. As an example the passphrase "Passphrase" is how it would look, though a different word. As for the modules thing. The kernel has never been changed by me, I'm not entirely sure if any of the ROMs ive flashed had different kernels. I know on my last phone (sgs2) there were a few roms with custom kernels, honestly havn't looked to see if these roms are the same or different.
@Flyhalf205
First, I must say that I am awed by your skills, and wish that I could learn to develop ROMS unfortunately my other pursuits in life always seem to get in the way, so it is with total honesty that I thank you and give all the appreciation I can muster that you both dev and help troubleshoot.
The kernel I'm using is (according to the about phone menu) is:
3.4.10-g8a54bda
[email protected] #1
SMP PREEMPT
As for variant I assume you mean which carrier I'm tied to at the moment, that would be verizon. As I stated above to dottat I've never flashed a custom kernel intentionally, but that's not to say that one didn't get flashed while trying out different ROMS. I will look today to see if any of the ones I've flashed claim to have different kernels. If theres anything else that I can answer please let me know. Thank you again for your help in this.

@melina123 Has your phone ever been able to connect to your friends WiFi? It could be possible that he has a mac filter on his wireless router and that is why it will not connect. Another thing you could check is his DHCP on his router maybe having trouble handing out IP addresses in general, which if this is the case try using a static IP when connecting. Also the type of encryption technically shouldn't matter to much as I can connect to TKIP/AES WPA2. If it's only his specific AP that is causing you grief, I would lean towards it being his network that is having the issue. If you already checked all this and I missed it when reading your thread, sorry for making you read all this...but at least I got to work on my typing skills .

Since its s-off I would imagine that the phone should be unlocked and just needs to be rooted.

ok heres the my situation. Before the the upgrade to xda live, wifi worked perfectly, after upgrade to xda live, wifi will not search mine or any nearby networks. Next i flashed vanilla successfully to see if that fixes the problem, it didnt! Then I downgraded to 2.06 att rom, that didnt fix the problem. Lastly I downgraded to 1.34 and once again, Wifi will not search for networks. Its seems to only do a half a sec scan then it stops completely. Can anyone help please!

I have a somewhat similar issue. I thought it might have been a combination of upgrading to the new OS and the 1.35 radio. Before I was using 1.27. Maybe you can try flashing back to that radio.
Or at least it might be worth trying.
well i did try flashing back to the xda live but it still didnt help, also ive always kept the 1.16 radio! If i cant solve this thru xda, I may have to do XBM!
What might XBM be ?

There is a reg entry for allow scan time. Maybe it is set to low for your wifi to pick up a router.

XBM: Exchange by mail
The problem with this is technically your warranty is void, this is why Cingular and MS are mad at XDA. We mess with the device and still try to claim warranty.

if it was a reg entry wouldnt that be set to default after installing the cingular rom 1.34??

The only reason why i would xbm on this occasion because this possibly could be hardware issue! So im tryin to troubleshoot thru xda to see if i can narrow it to a software issue.

I am not going to hyjack this thread, but even if it wasnt anything you did, you still voided the warranty and this is why Cingular and MS are getting mad at XDA. I am not saying I wouldnt consider doing an XBM either, I am just being the devils advocate here.

oh I understand, i wasnt being defensive, i just thru that out there because i dont want other readers to get the wrong message from me, but you're right tho! BTW, would u or any of you happen to know that reg hack? would love to apply to see if solves my prob!
Actually, have you installed WiFiFoFum? This has all the options available. If you still get nothing, I bet hardware.
ok ill try that and post back results, wish me luck!
I have the same problem with just regular Vanilla though. I even tried WiFiFoFum and it didn't pick up anything. I don't even see a gprs connection. This all worked fine in WM5. Should I go back?
EDIT: Just installed XDA Live and now my wifi works again. Weird.
ok just tried using wififofum with xda live and still no network scan. Next i downgraded to 1.34, and its the same thing! The only upgrades performed on my phone were xda live, vanilla, 2.06. I never upgraded the radio or anything else! As you can see, I've done safe upgrades, and all were successful. Anything else out there that i can safely try to resolve this problem???
I'm still working on fixing this problem, but I have a question. I've read on different post that uprgarding wiith vanilla or xda live doesn't touch anything but the os on the phone, so if I'm rationalizing correctly this type of upgrade could not have possibly tampered with my wifi providing that I've never tried flashing the radio, bootloader, and that all flashing were successful, correct?

The radio ROM has nothing to do with the Wifi. It sounds like your wifi is DEAD. Try a flash to original ROM SHIPPED RUU from when you bought the device. That will make it like "NEW" if it is still dead, you are screwed, time for warranty.

actually that's how I discovered something was wrong, when I flashed back to the original because I thought it was xda live that was causing the wifi not to work correctly. After discovering that it was not working with the factory rom, I then tried flashing vanilla, and still its the same results! so from what you have confirmed with me is that more than likely hardware. XBM here I come! I've even tried troubleshooting with cingular CS, and I immediately turned down the assistance once he stated that the wifi wasn't working correctly because of the wrong data plan linked to my account lollll. How funny is that!

The difficultly with Cricket is there is no "stock" Rom for this phone. I had the same problem with a Palm Treo, it worked great until I ported my home phone number to the phone and I lost internet. I could only find the same instructions that I have and must have punched it in a thousand times, called Cricket a couple to have my data package removed and added and nothing. When I swapped out for a Cricket Motorola K1m KRZR everything worked just fine. So something happened to the phone and I wasn't going to fix it as there was no stock rom to go to. You might try buying a cheap real Cricket phone off ebay, changing to that phone and then change back to the Titan and see if that changes something. $15 per swap though, maybe find a friend that can do it for free. Hope this helps.
I have other phones, even an other titan, same rom and everything. It has been my test phone for flashing. I didn't want to boar group with story. I ordered one from fundevices and after 6 weeks of waiting and calling, I ordered on off evilbay and it showed in two days. Ran it for a bit the way it came with 6.0 and would send pic but not recieve. Fathers day wife, kids and I went camping and my phone got soaked with soda (floated in it for while on car charger before I found it). Sunday we got home and I took phone apart and cleaned screen side best I could, but mother board and key board got most damage. It would come on, then off, and on, and off........
anyway I washed the mother board in hot water and dish soap in big bowl for about 15 minutes. Put all back together making sure everything was 100% dry. Turned it on, nothing. But it would charge battery. Monday the first one oredered (after 10 weeks) was at my door after work. I didn't activate it knowing I was going to change the rom, and just used wifi for about 5 days. Still using damaged one as a charger and backup battery. I sent both phones to to0 (mike cooper) and had him flash the to0v3 rom on one, but he couldn't get wet phone to come on. When I got phones back, it still had 1.20 bootloader and his rom. No gps, and it took me a week to get the net to work and mms never worked. Sent it to him under the impression that his rom posted on ppc, hofo and cricket phone talk saying everything worked, was what I was getting him to do. When I got it back, activated it, and made a call, no mic. It's not broken. Missing driver, missing patch? Don't know, I know it works. Make a call (not activated) and blow in mic. Get static. Do a video, and it records and plays back sound, but to do a voice command, or record a voice memo nothing. After a few days the battery was low, but not dead. I took backup off damaged phone and put in low battery and turned on (constant on and off would kill it for sure) and it came on. I mean it is the phone I use everyday, flashing, no luck, this post. Been going for about 6 weeks. Still untouched, 2.09 sprint rom with 1.32.00 radio, and it had a dcd hack since windows media player said dcd rom in back ground. How it came working on cricket. While flashing phone with no mic, I hooked up good phone and did unlocker on it without really knowing what I was doing. Of course it stuck in bootloader and I had no clue what to do. By now I have flashed, and flashed, and flashed. Even ripping apart roms posted to put together some things. E.G. dcd 1.6.0 to get stock 1.06 spl and putting it in 2.09 rom that was on phone ruu folder to get phone locked to do hard spl 2.40 Original rom had 1.20 and every time i relocker, it would get stuck in bootloader and then I would flash original rom, thus completing a circle.
How I got to where I'm at now. With 2.09 rom, use relocker, then rom I pieced up to get out of bootloader. Then run hard spl 2.40 since unlocker doesn't, and flashing 2.47 from card always gets me stuck in 2.07 bootloader. Once done hard spl, it's stuck in 1.20 bootloader, flash sprint 3.56, half way thru it stops and wants to recover (don't). remove battery and turn back on and force phone into bootloader and it is 2.40, flash vCBU and when done it gets stuck in boot screen and only thing in red letters is "no radio". Force in bootloader and flash 3.56 and not let customize. Then back to bootloader and flash over vCBU again. Then flash vboots. Then go thru and do reg hacks and fill in stuff for modem. And that is where I am. And yes, that is only way I could get everything flashed. 4 diff attempts on 2 phones, all left same path. Still have my nokia 6265 but wife uses for backup charger for her 6275 and some old dot matrix green screen cricket phones. I was hoping for an easier resilution. Since on phone was almost 4 bills, one was almost 3 bills, and sending to to0 to flashed was 70, pluse switching back and forth at cricket.

Was there a question in there?
How far did you get? where are you stuck? what part do you need help with?
Can you not flash 3.2.6 and run the cricket carrier cab to get all this working..? (I have VZW.. so I'm not sure about cricket)
Question is fairly clear. I posted link to ppcgeeks where my origanl question was, and when I said something about ruffling featers. Will I get anywhere asking this group to help me since it is a near perfect mirror of ppc geeks as for as stickies, threads, even what is in the threads word for word, bashing ppc for not having the backbone to answer my request for help and trying to get it here? If you read my post at ppc showing that my mms kinda works, my net does work my gps doesn't work, dialing *228 after going thru a list of prls. I guess it would be obvious of the whole, is there a question here?
How come my gps don't work after filling all appropriate fields in?
What the hell is up with my mms?
Why can't I get *228 to program my phone after changing prls
Why does the evdo change to 1x when in call and on net?

Why hasn't cricket mofia chirped in?
And, isn't the process I went thru supposed to give me evdo rev a? To0's rom didn't, even after boasting it did. I have done dcd roms, but they seem to be too blahh for me. In my post at ppc it shows my pc is junk (ibm). Figuring out my build os to come up with with my own rom is a joke, it took me 2 hours to do first post here. (really) and ended up having to do it on my titan. Only thing I would trade on the vito rom is the feedback in exchange for windows update.
Sorry, but you asked.
Wow that seems like a lot of frustration, I am sorry to hear that. Have you tried to bring the phone back to its original carrier like Verizon or Sprint and then started over with the latest Radio and DCD Rom? The reason I ask is it seems that you might need to start from a known point to "clean" out all the "custom" stuff. You also might want to contact Bunvilla as he PMed me with Cricket info and has he Mogul working on Cricket:
well i bought a qwest mogul which was configured for qwest network. It took a few day to find a way to get the SPC or MSL code as they call it which allows me to go into the settings and change it from qwest to cricket settings. Once the settings have been changed then u will be able to gain access on crickets network. There is a very important file called a PRL which u need to load onto the phone but can only do it if u have the SPC code. good news i can tell u how to get any carries SPC code for the mogul/ its a piece of cake to switch and way cheaper of a bill and u will have access to all the features internet and everything. hope this has helped " cricket rules"

I unfortunately am not on Cricket with my Titan. I am getting ready to flash a Verizon Motorola K1m KRZR over to Cricket but it seems way different process. I hope you do figure it out and some one on Cricket here can help you get past this ugly mess. Hopefully Bunvilla can help. I will PM him now and ask him to get in touch with you.

Question is fairly clear. I posted link to ppcgeeks where my origanl question was, and when I said something about ruffling featers. Will I get anywhere asking this group to help me since it is a near perfect mirror of ppc geeks as for as stickies, threads, even what is in the threads word for word, bashing ppc for not having the backbone to answer my request for help and trying to get it here? If you read my post at ppc showing that my mms kinda works, my net does work my gps doesn't work, dialing *228 after going thru a list of prls. I guess it would be obvious of the whole, is there a question here?

Well, first I would like to help you… but you posted a link that does not take me to a post.. it takes me to a general forum.. And it’s the Vogue Forum at that. I’m not searching another board for your question. So Excuse me for not knowing your question.
Second, While I have not read your post there.. If you posted with anywhere near the lack of information or general attitude (as if you are entitled to be helped) as you did here.. I can see why nobody helped you. (edit I see more info in your second post but you are all over the place and filled with irrelevant info it's hardly readable)

Yes, a proper post with a well phrased question, information on what rom / radio / and steps you’ve taken.. and a proper post title will almost always get a response and the help you need to get you on the right track. The post title is important because people see those and decide.. “Hey I know how to fix that” (MMS and GPS on Cricket Help) would be a good one. Your title “Will this work” will be skipped by most people. So… if you don’t follow those steps.. NO it’s not worth asking here.

It’s possible you did something wrong… Because a rom does not work for you, you cant go blaming the rom.. unless everyone or most people have the problem. (I’m not familiar with that rom) If many people use it, and it works for most.. then the problem is probably you.. Bashing the rom will get you nowhere fast.
** Edit** Didn't realize To0's Rom was installed for you for $$.. odd?

DCD is what I use… Not sure I can help you with another rom… I cant fix your PC either. Whats blahh about a DCD rom.. Can you tell me what makes another rom better. They are all about the same except the performance tweaks and stability. DCD is stable and performs well.. everything else is an app that can be installed on any rom.

Figuring out my build os to come up with with my own rom is a joke, it took me 2 hours to do first post here. (really) and ended up having to do it on my titan. Only thing I would trade on the vito rom is the feedback in exchange for windows update. Sorry, but you asked.

How I got to where I'm at now. With 2.09 rom, use relocker, then rom I pieced up to get out of bootloader. Then run hard spl 2.40 since unlocker doesn't, and flashing 2.47 from card always gets me stuck in 2.07 bootloader. Once done hard spl, it's stuck in 1.20 bootloader, flash sprint 3.56, half way thru it stops and wants to recover (don't). remove battery and turn back on and force phone into bootloader and it is 2.40, flash vCBU and when done it gets stuck in boot screen and only thing in red letters is "no radio". Force in bootloader and flash 3.56 and not let customize. Then back to bootloader and flash over vCBU again. Then flash vboots. Then go thru and do reg hacks and fill in stuff for modem. And that is where I am. And yes, that is only way I could get everything flashed. 4 diff attempts on 2 phones, all left same path. Still have my nokia 6265 but wife uses for backup charger for her 6275 and some old dot matrix green screen cricket phones. I was hoping for an easier resilution. Since on phone was almost 4 bills, one was almost 3 bills, and sending to to0 to flashed was 70, pluse switching back and forth at cricket.

This whole process is wierd....
So I think I understand.. you are at SPL 2.40? Because 2.47 would not work? You put a sprint rom on it, but it says no radio?
Are you against DCD 3.2.6? I'll cook you a rom with the features you want and put it on my FTP if your computer is too slow to do it.
Do you have an SD card thats less than 2GB and formatted with Fat 32?
If so.. I should be able to help you get working.

Why hasn't cricket mofia chirped in?
wow!!!! Its gonna be ok lil buddy. hang in there and have some patients ( i know your patients has been depleted) and i will try and help u to get answers and your phone working properly again.
I personally have so much on my plate that i dont get to "ppc geekout" as much as i used to.
1) How come my gps don't work after filling all appropriate fields in?
well the answer is that u shouldnt really have to enter anything in any field/ just make sure that the radio and the rom are both of the GPS rom release. cant have a pregps radio with a gps enabled rom, this is not good.
2)What the hell is up with my mms?
mms is a fickled thing , especially for us cricket people/ the problem is the wap settings and some wierd issue in the reg where a certain setting would basically block our phones from recieving the mms message.
Long story short is that with the updating of roms (from wm5 to wm6 to wm6.1) the mms seems to also have changed and just when we figure out what the problem is , it gets changed. and also cricket service doesnt use as sophisticated servers for handling mms as lets say "sprint" so we cricket people have to make changes to get our mms to work . BUT in a nut shell i have successfully got mms to work with the latest PPCKITCHEN rom release.
It took me 5 1/2 hours to figure out y i couldnt get PPCKITCHEN to work on my computer./ had to use a utility to remove netframe work and then download a 200mbsfile of netframe 3.5 and that did the trick.
3)Why can't I get *228 to program my phone after changing prls?
BECAUSE U DONT HAVE YOUR SPC or MSL CODE SET TO 000000!
PERIOD!!!! im not yelling just letting u know exactly y/ ive done this successfully twice to my current titan/ cricket sets its SPC code for all its phones to 000000/ so when it trys to access your phone it cant get pass the code/ i have the modem drivers and program u will need (which i dont know if we are aloud to mention it here) but i have it and will pass it on to u/
4)Why does the evdo change to 1x when in call and on net?
now naturally your phone will switch betwwen evdo and 1x /1x when you recieve or make a call send a text msg etc, and evdo when using data/
connection/ Now i also expierenced a couple months back when my phone all of a sudden would not stay in evdo mode no matter what i did/ i think it was a certain rom and radio combo which fixed it, but anyhow first things first.
PS by the way, these 2 files have gotten me unstuck from the boot loader mode a bunch of times and i would say the most valuable files to have are these two/
i will PM u ok , lets just take it slow k, your situation sounds like a bunch of software issues which is ALOT better than defective hardware issues
JPWHRE
sorry if my spelling suks im a lil tired/ I did get a PM from jambrose/ So just to let u know, that u should give him a big thanks/ not that i wouldnt of helped u if i came across your post but to be honest i dont read alot of the posts anymore/
And by the way jambrose, its good to hear from u. Im glad u r out there helping these guys, and keeping the support going.
hey JPWHRE
for some reason i cant send u an attachment in a PM so i guess ill post the files and info here ok
1)First run the "titan RELOCKER" file with your
phone connected to active
sync, it should return your
phone to the stock
bootloader/
2)Next run the "titan unlocker"
next , this will allow u to
install olipro 1.20/ after
running the unlocker and
following its instructions u
might be in bootloader mode
if i remember right
3) your phone should be in
bootloader mode now,(if it
aint, put it in boot mode) so
just run the "ROM update
utility" in the "olipro 1.20
unlocker" folder im sending u
k/
** u may still be in
bootloader mode when u r done
installing the 1.20 BL, NO
PROBLEM, just run the
DisconnectActiveSync.exe file
first in the "Unlockboot
folder" i have included, THEN
the "titan_exitbl.exe"/
THIS should cause your phone
to reboot.
4)next i believe we r ready
to load radio ( for some
reason the radios can only be
installed using olipro 1.20)
in the folder i have the
radio in, u will run the ROM
update utility and install
the radio.
5) Next u will need to update
your bootloader to 2.40, so
that u can load a custom rom.
Just run the
"Hard-240SPL-MFG.exe" file
ive included and it should
update u with no problems,
Once this has been done u can
now go and install ROM of
your choice/ *** PPCKITCHEN latest rom release allows MMS for us cricket folks**** and if u installed the ROM and cant get the MMS to work just PM me and ill give u the instructions to enable it, there is some adjustment that will need to be made first , so dont worry , we will get it working k**
6) well my friend this has
taken alot out of me/ i will
post these instructions im
giving u under your thread
that way incase i have missed
something, somebody can
inform us/
PS GOOD LUCK MY FRIEND, and
if u get stuck or have a
question, just PM me, but if
i dont get back to u right
away, be patient, k
heres a link to all the neccessary files, its to big to add as an attachement:

DID THIS HELP U???? I havent heard one way or the other from u so i am wondering if this worked for u ??
Just looking for a place to start...
I have Cricket on my PoS Cricket phone. Unlimited mobile web on my account. I also have an originally T-mobile Wizard which I've been using just as a mini-laptop and to learn to cook, flash, etc on...
I'm about to buy a Mogul which is supposedly Cricket flashed and/or a Sprint phone originally. As I understand it, either of these should be qualifiers for a fully functional Cricket Smartphone, yes? I want my voicemail, text messages, to surf the web via my cell connection as well as wifi. Bluetooth, gps, and just about anything else are icing that isn't -truly- a requisite for me. What thread should I start reading for -any- Rom that will accomplish the above. I don't mind if the rom is "too blahh". If you are opposed to singling out a specific rom that you (as a cricket customer with a running mogul) like...You could always post a few that you know work. I understand how the "best rom" politics go.
Also, if there are any other considerations I should keep in mind, please reply!
So I was on SOS Rom with Chad's linux 3 kernel and did the wire trick. I got s off, yay!!!!
So, now my wifi stinks, 3g stinks, my touch screen was affected, I have slight dead areas. I can't flash kernels, but I can flash boot screens. Totally not worth the trade off, lol. I have tried CWM, 4Ext, fastboot and flash image GUI. None work
Anyone have any ideas WTF is going on? Or what I need to do? I was thinking about using google to find out how to get s on and try the wire trick again, or just stay s on.
Would I need to flash a firmware from Frieza to possibly fix the kernel issues? I have no idea how that would help at all, lol.
If anyone else has had issues like this,.what did you do?
XDA senior techs, any ideas?
Not saying the wire trick stinks, just saying I ran into an issue I cant figure out

Well I'm deeply sorry for your issues but I also believe that the issues your experiencing is not totally related to the "wire trick".
The effects of the wire tricks can't do much damage because the voltage going out of the pin#1 is not enough to cause massive effects with the small amount of time you make contact with ground.
Questions :
what kind of wire did you use?
How long did you place the wires in full contact?
I would say as well that disclaimers are posted and there are risks with following any prodcedures written in this site.
Try flashing a RUU and see what happens, perhaps that could be a way out?

Oouch! I hope there is a fix for you, I'm sure you are going to try everything.
I don't know how to fix this but I do know a little bit about electronics. Actually quite a bit. Sounds like this trick shorted out or caused a voltage spike internally. Generally when an electronic component is damaged, there is no fix.
When you let out that factory installed smoke, you can't get the Genie back in the bottle.
I had a laptop once where the fan stopped working. I bought a new one. New one was not getting any voltage. A friend of mine was sitting at the bench with me. He decides lets just find another spot with same voltage and tap in there. Starts jumping wires around on the mother board and poof -- $1,000 dollar laptop on sale for parts on Ebay. Took me a long time to get over that one.
I was just looking around and found a problem similar to yours, in the "wire trick" thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26390751
Yeah... I totally noob bombed that dev thread so o started up a qna here lol
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA
Just a little more info. I can flash other kernels, but on sense Roms, it just shows up as the same name as the other stock kernel. I was able to fully flash other roms, like AOSP. Once I flash AOSP, I can see the other kernels I flash.
Flashing AOSP:
While I can flash it and other kernels, I get stuck on being able to activate my phone on the device. It gets stuck saying airplane mode is on. Totally sucks. Haven't tried activating online or by calling sprint. I have been busy with family stuff.
If anyone else has issues, post em up! Perhaps we can all help each other out
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA
So Here's what I ended up doing. After wire trick got me the S-Off, I had that ICS HBoot and thought hey, maybe this has something to do with my weird AOSP issues (for background please see my post in the CDMA developers section in the JBear thread), so I flashed my 2.17 RUU that I had handy. After that, I updated PRL and Profile (hoping this would do something). Then to my surprise, everything was stock again, bootloader read hboot 1.5.0 again instead of the 1.57 one, however no root because it's an RUU! Anyway, I kept reading through the thread like some of these folks told me, however I didn't find much, I did see that most people with success were using the JBear GB version. So, I flashed the jb_hboot from the GB version (I actually took another guy's advices and simply renamed the jb_hboot.zip file to PG86IMG.zip, this worked! Got me the Jbead modified GB bootloader on 1.50. SO I guess since we're S-Off, I was able to go back to hboot 1.50 and then did a fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and flashed the Ext4 recovery image I had. From there, I restored the nandroid I had (Nocturnal ICS Xi36 r105) and it all booted up fine. Later I will try flashing back to CM9 and see what happens, perhaps I'll be able to get out of this "sort of Airplane mode" that isn't really airplane mode (where the phone htinks it's deactivated.)
The key here is that while I was on GB RUU, I updated PRL and Profile, then went to the 1.5 hboot hoping that would be enough for the CM 9 rom and other AOSP ICS roms to activate upon install. I'll keep you posted.
Thanks for starting this thread man, we need a place to sort all this out. With all the info that floods the OPs of development threads, it's hard to really find what is even relevant. So, glad to see one in the Q and A that we can ask questions.
Well what i can say is that after trying the wire trick my device would randomly turn off and stop working. No charge, No light. Nada. Completely dead then it would randomly come back to life. Anyways. I took my phone to sprint today and ill be going back in two hours to see what the problem with my phone is.
I personally think its a hardware issue. Maybe i used a bad wire? Or i touched the wire during the process which is known to mess up your device.
Thinking about it . I don't see why people don't downgrade instead of the wire trick.
Update- Sprint told me my device had hardware issues and will send me a new phone within 4 days.
There is a possibility that, as someone else has pointed out, that we are indeed hurting our phones. Not so insulated wires, paperclip with tape etc, is the culprit. Too much static getting in and possibly hurting our phones. Something to think about.
To RUU Paul, lol,
I was thinking of uprooting using a similar method like you and gaining root again to ensure it isn't permanent. While it seems you could make it back, this could mean it is a software issue then, but it is too early to tell. Hopefully we cab get enough of the anomalies in to pin point this.

Thanks for pointing this all out! I can confirm that doing this allows us to flash back to AOSP with Airplane mode off and get it all up and going.
Once in there, you can change out your kernel and see that it is changed under About Phone! I loves you so much!
Now, if anyone has a way to verify if a kernel was changed or not, we can see if my idea was right about it flashing the kernel, just not showing the correct name of the kernel that was flashed
Thank you all the effort you guys have put into this. I too ran into this issue, and simply flashing the GB hboot resolved my issue. Just so everyone knows, that it is not necessary to revert to stock first. Just simply flash the other hboot, and you should be good to go.
Firstly, I'm not a noob.
Secondly, I've even opened the phone to see if there is anything loose.. I used to repair phones, and hardware wise everything looks fine. Plus, the issue can happen while the phone is just sitting there, it isn't caused by the phone being moved that I can tell.
So I might suddenly have a voicemail show up, because my phone didn't have signal. Or if I call out, it never gives an error of any kind, it just doesn't ring.. same idea with text, sometimes they just come in all at once.
But the whole time, it SHOWS I have signal. If I search for networks(Settings>more>networks>available networks) when I have no issues, it searches, and shows US or AT&T(which is odd since I have tmobile, but whatever).. if I do this while I AM having the issue - it doesn't search, and nothing shows. Hitting search doesn't do anything.
If I put into airplane mode and take it back out, it will show no signal until the problem goes away. Restarting the phone doesn't appear to solve the issue.
I'm at a total loss here. I've searched - a LOT. This is kind of a hard issue to search for, haven't seen anyone else describe something similar.. so I am just throwing this out here, hoping someone might have some thoughts?

I clearly said that I can receive calls and texts.. just not all the time. I had a problem with my EFS a long time ago, but was able to fix it, my IMEI is good, and I can't see any issue in my phone information(including serial, etc). As I said, this is an intermittent problem- right now I would say the issue only happens 20% of the time, maybe less.
It isn't often, but I have had multi-hour phone calls, and none have ever been disconnected by this issue, tho I feel like if I wasn't on the phone the issue would have happened at some point..
Let me point out that this has been going on over two months - in that time I have used stock roms, slim roms, every rom and android version from 4.1-4.4 and many kernels - none seemed to remotely effect the issue.
Is there a possibility of some strange modem thing? My friend has the us variant of the s3, and he has read that he can't downgrade his modem.. so I've avoided using any early modems just in case.. our phone seems to have less and less updated threads for things like modems.

Actually, you can change your modem, but if you went to the 4.3 version of touchwiz, try using other modem from another 4.3 tw, you can give a try, but dont use a 4.1 or 4.2 modem, just a 4.3 modem, (efs2)

I think that was when I had my original efs issue - I was unaware about not going down below 4.3 again- but like I said, that was fixed. Or at least I think it was.
Is there a process to going to efs1 type partition? Perhaps if I properly go back to the original type.. and then upgrade properly(all after backing up my EFS of course..)
I guess the real issue is- could this be related to my problem AT ALL? I mean I get reception most of the time(guessing80%+), and it doesn't even show a signal loss when I can't find a network operator by manually searching!
I guess another thing that has me curious - it shows US or AT&T as the network operators, even tho I am on tmobile(not even pre-paid or anything).. if I select US it works, if I select automatic, it works, if I select AT&T it says your sim card doesn't allow you to register on this network..?
I'm just at a loss, because it doesn't seem like a hardware issue.. I'm actually on the phone with tmobile at the moment trying to see if MAYBE it is something on their side, how they have me registered on the network.. something!

Bro like the said says "Once you go black, you never go back" lol jk, i read somewhere that once you go efs2 is difficult to go to efs1 you will face "UNKNOWN NETWORK", the only thing you left to do is, restore to stock tmobile, root, use triangle away, unroot, flash again stock, and go to your network operator and tell them what problem you have, i think it my be a problem with the network problem idk more, im out of ideas, you should try that. thanks for reading

I'm at a total loss here. I've searched - a LOT. This is kind of a hard issue to search for, haven't seen anyone else describe something similar.. so I am just throwing this out here, hoping someone might have some thoughts?

Had this issue when I installed KK rom after stock 4.3
Fixed it with patched mg4 modem.

So you're sure you were having an issue just like mine? I've read dozens and dozens of threads for tons of samsung devices.. I recall one of them talking about patched modems - any chance you can post the link or even upload a flashable? If this turns out to be a fix.. you will be a god among men!

Yeah more or less what you were facing. Internittent network drops.
Dropbox link for patched MG4
Let me know if it worked out.
PS: If that doesn't work, then you can also try a modem for your region. Currently using NA8 right now and no issues shifting between stock 4.3 and KK Roms

I'll definitely give it a try.. where is the source you found it from, how did you figure it out? I found this emergency zip uploaded by justarchi that looks like a patched modem.. is this it? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43946365&postcount=15
Otherwise, for curiosities sake, if you figured this out(and it does fix my issue), I am QUITE curious how you figured it out!

I found it on xda long ago. But since it took ages to find the link, I bookmarked the link so I could post without having to spend hours scouring threads for it. It was originally in the modem/baseband thread.
AFAIK, JustArchi was referring to old modems no longer working with stock 4.3 firmwares and the resulting corrupted IMEIs when you use old modems or tried to go back to 4.1.2.
This post on my thread recommended patched MK6 kernel + patched MK6 modem.
But I went with just patched MG4 and worked. The issue at that time was no network, but I've been able to resolve network drops with patched modem.
This is just my experience though.
Before you flash the modem, make a backup in PhilZ Recovery first. Backup efs and modem both.
i know this probably has NOTHING to do with the M8 but im getting error 403 on my device for multiple apps and have tried everything i can to fix, i have another device with same account that updates apps just fine, can anyone shed some light on what might be the issue, if so any input would be helpful, thanks guys.
Not enough info:
Problem is on WiFi, cell network, or both?
Does data work on any apps at all?
Did data ever work on this phone, and just started recently?
This is the AT&T version being used on the AT&T network, or another carrier?
Stock ROM or custom?
Stock phone, or rooted and bootloader unlocked?
S-on or off?
Also, the following statement literally means nothing.

We have no idea what you "can" or can't do. If you want to provide the proper information, you need to describe exactly what individual steps you tried, and result for each. Not to be rude, its just a pet peeve when folks here (all too often) ask for help and say "I tried everything" which means nothing and is a waste of keystrokes. Just being constructive so we can help you properly.
Both WiFi and data and data has always worked, but I've had this problem on all phones on att and straight talk, I'd say it started about a month ago I ended up making an entirely new Google account and that fixed some if the apps updating but not all rooted on custom aokp rom, have tried other roms but still the same error and I'm on S-Off and unlocked att on straight talk

Do you have this problem on Sense ROMs?
How about your other phones (that have the same issue) Sense ROM, AOSP, stock ROM, etc.?
What are some of the apps that will not sync/get internet service?
