[Q] wifi issue & flash a new Customised rom? - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi guys, got a n1 from my friend as currently the wifi stop functioning, and he ask me whether can get any hint from here, the answer is YES definately, anyway:
the wifi wont work, sometimes it stuck by ticking the wifi option, and sometimes, the wifi cannot find any available network;
the sys. runs 2.2 froyo with 2.6.32.9 keneral, the baseband is 32.36.00.28U and the radio is 4.06, the phone been rooted, and if i want to re-flash another customized rom, should i just simply copy the rom into the memery card then do a flash by enter to the recovery mode? or something I have to do first.
thanks, guys.

You have to wipe first, then flash. It could be a confilict between the lib files and the kernel. Try a different kernel first, it will most likely have the lib file already in the update.zip but if it's just a boot.img then you will have to push the lib file for that kernel.

[Q] Newbie Installed Wrong Rom

New to android roms and accidently a I9000 rom (Ultimate) onto my I9000M. It now boots showing "Galaxy S GT-I9000M" and then changes to show "Galaxy S GT-I9000" and then stops there.
I am able to get it to boot into clockwork and have tried the restore all. But it is still messing up when booting.
How can I fix this? I am currently on a linux box, will I need a windows box with Odin?
Flash a i9000m rom, you can use heimdall instead of odin probably
Good I9000M roms?
Ok I have Heimdall and am still reading up on it. But looks straight forward enough.
Now to find a stable I9000M rom. Every reference to a I9000M rom I can find seems to be controversial, can anyone with a I9000M vouch for a rom? Is there a list of I9000M roms somewhere? Is there a link to the rom files of the official BMC 2.2 release? 2.1 is fine too don't really care just want to get back onto something stable for now.
i9000m is bell right ?? canada ?? if so try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=845558
that should do the trick
You can install I9000 roms on the I9000m, I have done with no problem maybe you install just got corrupted, reinstall the stock rom then flash the one you want over it. I know that darky and Docs roms work very well with our phones, I m on Darky's 9.2 with bells JL2 modem and it works fantasticaly.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
azzledazzle, yup it's a Sasktel phone but they get all their phones from Bell Canada anyways.
So downloading the I9000UGJK3.tar right now. I guess what I am still not understanding is what all would have been overwritten by the Ultimate firmware when I flashed it in ClockWork Recovery? And what all am I going to need to overwrite to get back to working? I was on stock 2.1 when I flashed Ultimate. I900UGJK3 is a 2.2 rom as far as I can tell.
From what I have found the firmware would replace all sections of the PDA/Code: rootfs, kernel, param.lfs and the recovery partition.
Are the PIT files some kind of partition table? And would Ultimate have touched them?
Still can't find a good explanation of the CSC. Anyone help me out on what that actually is?
I am unclear if the boot loaders would have been overwritten at all? At least one of the went unwritten as I still have clockwork recovery. Is the ClockWork Recovery contained in one of the boot loaders or does it get a separate partition that the boolader just points to?
Modem is the radio firmware, I assume.
stock firmware will erase any traces of modifications including root lagfix apps anything you have done... if the firmware your downloading comes in 3 files use PIT and Re PARTITION in ODIN, this will completely restore the phone to the day it was made.
if it doesnt come in 3 files and only comes in 1 PDA file DO NOT USE PIT OR REPARITION.
but flash anyway and see what happens, ideally you will be needing a 3 file firmware.
but i only use I9000 I have no idea how the other SGS spinoffs work sorry.
Here is a link to JL2, the latest 2.2 ROM for the I9000M. I use it and I am very happy.
Working again
Ended up on JL2. Thanks to everyone for responding.
There were actually 6 files when I untarred (rootfs, zImage *kernel, param.lfs, secondary bootloader, CSC cache and modem). But it was pretty obvious how to load it into Heimdall. Turns out that part of the update was the second bootloader. Probably what was giving me the issues before.
Still curious if there is a developer or some documentation that can put a little bit more of an explanation of exactly what the param.lfs, Sbl.bin and cache.rfs (CSC) all do. I want to learn and become less of a button pushing monkey.
My LG E400 shut down and won't turn back on
hello
i think i had installed a wrong rom so my phone turned off and dont want to open again even in recovery mood
any help please

Storage not prepared error on SC-02B (docomo)

Hello all,
My phone is an SC-02b (Japanese Docomo version of the I9000)
First off a little history...
I originally purchased the phone here in Tokyo and it was Froyo 2.2.1 build. I used superoneclick root from here on XDA to root the phone and everything worked great
I wanted to try out Darkys Rom so I flashed it with ODIN. Everything was ok with the new Rom except there was no internet connection at all. I did a bit of checking and found out that the Modems are different on my SC-02B the other I9000 versions.
In order to change the Modem I tried flashing Darkys again with the original stock modem (found it here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11614716) This resulted in Odin crashing and I had no choice but to unplug the phone from Odin in the middle of the process.
Stupidly I did not make a backup of my original phone so I used the original firmware above and flashed it back, now my phone is Froyo 2.2
Everything works ok but when I enter recovery mode I get the following error...
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p3
(No such file or directory)
E:install_applications_for_customer: Can't mount H
IDDENSDCARD
your storage not prepared yet, please use UI menu for format and reboot actions.
copy application failed.
I used Samsung KIES to upgrade the phone to Froyo 2.2.1 but now Superoneclickroot doesn't work anymore, the program simply stops responding at waiting for device (tried all the fixes in the forum threads and in recovery but nothing works so I'm assuming it is because of the error above)
For now I simply went back to the original Froyo 2.2 and rooted with Z4 Root but I would really like to fix the problem and be able to have a rooted phone with Froyo 2.2.1
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Bump... hopefully someone knows how to fix this?
The SC-02B doesn't seem to like custom kernels and roms
I rooted mine on 2.2.1 with superoneclick. My only issue was my AV software was stripping parts of the app so it would not work. I had to disable my AV software and then download and run it. After that it ran perfect.
Thanks very much for the reply.
Thankfully the issue has been resolved... it seems as though when I flashed the initial Rom it screwed up the drives for my phone so I had to go into device manager, uninstall everything and then install the correct drives manually.

[Q] Best Radio For VZW 7" Tab [solved]

I have a 7" tab that was given to me by work, for work. I use is mostly for the 3g hotspot, but I've noticed that the internet lags pretty badly. It constantly hangs, and freezes up. I have a samsung fascinate that I'm running miui on, and when tethered to it the internet runs great. I'm wondering if this is a radio issue on the tab, or if I maybe need to flash another kernel to fix the lag that I am experiencing with the stock software. I don't want to flash any roms, as I don't really use the tab for anything other than as a 3g hotspot. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Ok, I see that there is an EC011 modem available. Is that compatible with the stock froyo, or is the stock froyo the issue? I'm starting to think that the modem isn't the issue, and I'm going to need to flash GB or a custom froyo rom to fix the issue. Anybody else have this issue besides me?
So.....I've decided to flash the 2.3.4 leak. It's my first time using heimdall, so I want to make sure I have the method straight and have all of the items i need. I just need to unzip the file, then select the appropriate files. Then, I need to select a modem and recovery. Do I use the zImage for the kernel and the recovery, and is the EC011 modem compatible with the gb leak? Any help before I mess something up would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
the modem (which you call a radio) should have little to no impact on the rom itself.
most kernels should have the recovery built into the zImage file, so only put it in the zimage slot in heimdall. Only put something in recovery if there is an actual recovery file in the tar you have extracted.

Yeah...I was at work, and got my terms mixed up. I ended up flashing the stock gb leak with heimdall, then flashed the modem.....soft bricked it somehow, then reflashed the rom. All came up well, but the 3g hotspot was still slow and buggy. I decided to try barnacle wifi, which I use on my phone, and that solved all of my issues i was having. I'm guessing the 3g hotspot verizon app is just flawed. After installing barnacle, I ran a few speed tests. I consistently hit 2.5mbps down with almost a meg up. With the 3g hotspot app I hit 300-400k down, and 500-600k up.

[Q] Data and Cell Connection goes off randomly?

So my mom is using my "old" Captivate. When she was on the beta version of Android 2.2, the data and cell connection kept turning off and she would have to restart the phone in order for it to work again.
I updated the phone by flashing Android 2.3.5 (I897 UC KK1). It was working totally fine and then it started to have the same issues as before.
I was wondering if anyone could be kind and help out.
If a new modem needs to be flashed, how do I do that?
As of now, there is NO root on my mom's phone since she doesn't care about that stuff.
All help is much appreciated!
PLEASE? Someone has to know......
You can try other modems. You need CWM to do that. Flash a kernel with CWM and then flash from the huge list of modems that can be found at Oxicottin's thread
I believe you could also extract the modem.bin from those zip files. You could then place that modem.bin in the PHONE slot within ODIN and just flash the modem itself without ever changing the kernel.
Please someone correct me if I am leading him wrong. This would require him to only flash with ODIN once and still keep his stock kernel.
You are right that can be done as well.

It's been so long since I did it that way I was trying to remember if I was correct. I've been spoiled by all the DEVS making CWM packages.

Do you know which ROM is installed? You need to reflash it (no wipe needed) to replace the wrong files with the original ones.
Next time always make a nandroid backup if you're new and messing with system files
If not maybe someone here who is using Stock ROM can upload those two files? It shouldn't matter when they come from a newer stock version.
