[Q] Wireless not working on CM9 Alpha 2 Help? - TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

HI everyone, i'm a Noob here sooo here goes:
I don't know why - but I installed CM9 Alpha 2 on my HP Touchpad and my wireless was working at the time of installation. After using it for a while then turning it off, and on again the wireless stopped working. I can see the wireless signals but when i click to connect it says "Connecting" then back to the wireless name and never connects. It came back, stayed on for a while...then when i reset it again this time to see if it would go off again - it hasn't come back since.
My question: Does anyone know what is going on? Am i missing something or doing something?
Thank you

Im having the same problem...
nightly 3/17

FWIW I have had the same problem occasionally when installing different builds but what seems to help is going into the WebOs and turning the WiFi off then on and then rebooting into whatever Android version I was using at the time. There is also a long thread covering this in the development section with thoughts on how to fix the problem.

No, you've done well...wifi has been a persistent issue with almost everyone. There are several ways to go about resolving it.
1) (from terminal emulator): enter su (hit return) then type the following....
rm (space) -rf (space) /data/misc/wifi (space) && (space) reboot
(Or if that doesn't work...)
(from root explorer): access /data/misc/wifi folder then long press wpa supplicant folder and select delete...confirm delete and reboot
Either of those methods from #1 should allow you to restore wifi but you'll probably have to repeat the process upon each reboot/restart of your TP. A more permanent resolution has been proposed by #2 below.
2) You can also look up Rohan's Supreme Mods v 1.3 (for CM9 Alpha 2) and flash that zip file over your current rom, but be sure to reboot into recovery and make a Nandroid backup before flashing the mod package.
:[MODPACK][3/10][NEW]SUPREME Mods v1.3 [Faster, Smoother, Faster Wifi, Better Battery]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1519161
Make sure you select the mod package that matches your current DPI setting of your Alpha 2 rom and follow his install instructions to the letter.
Good luck!

flash these drivers. should do the trick if you're having wifi issues with the disconnect reconnects.
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/18332-new-wifi-driver-ath6kl-from-compat-wireless/
download the file and flash via Clockworkmod, do a nandroid backup first just in case something goes rogue.
another quick fix, toggle airplane mode. usually gets you back going again. As for rohan's mods, try this first. His mods won't help if you can't keep a stable wifi connection.

I'm having this problem also. Very frustrating! I will try all of this tomorrow and report back. Thanks.

[FIXES] Milestone Latest WIFI Module for 02_36 kernel

Latest and stable Wifi Driver for Android 2.1, Build SHOLS_U2_02.36.0
Build for the kernel "2.6.29-omap1"
** Stable and without any Wifi drop problem, which is compiled from the latest source from Google Android Repository. **
I recently found out that the Wifi driver of the latest Froyo 2.2.1 of Milestone that released by G.O.T. team is a new build and very stable. Therefore, I tried to pull the latest TIWLAN Wifi driver source code from the Google Android Source Repository (http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/hardware/ti/wlan.git;a=summary), and compile it for the ROM build "SHOLS_U2_02.36.0", kernel "2.6.29-omap1".
I succeeded to compile as "tiwlan_drv.ko", and use it with the latest firmware "fw_wlan1271.bin" from the Froyo 2.2.1 build, and finally uses on the "SHOLS_U2_02.36.0", and the result is very stable wifi connection with the proprietary power saving feature .
I am using the ROM South Asia SHOLS_U2_02.36.0, I am not sure if it can be used with any other ROM, but normally should work on any kernel which have the version "2.6.29-omap1".
I did it because that the latest Froyo 2.2.1 beta ROM is not stable enough and the battery drain fast, but it have the stable wifi connection, so I compiled it for 2.1.
Enhancement:
Much more stable WIFI connection, no more connection drop within good signal environment.
No more WIFI freeze occur, will auto re-connect to AP if back to the signaled environment.
Much much much more battery saving (IT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT), can also feel that impressively in using "android-wireless-tether".
!!! Use it at YOUR OWN RISK !!!
Make a backup of "/system/lib/modules/tiwlan_drv.ko" and "/system/etc/wifi/fw_wl1271.bin".
Copy the file "tiwlan_drv.ko" to "/system/lib/modules/", and copy the file "fw_wl1271.bin" to "/system/etc/wifi/".
** WARNING **
Normally should work on any ROM which have the kernel version "2.6.29-omap1", BUT I didn't test it for any ROM other than SHOLS_U2.02.36.0, so USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
It may result in bootloop in case if you did something wrong or not compatible with your ROM (need to revert back to the old driver with OpenRecovery + adb).
Therefore, it is only for advanced users, and ALWAYS MAKE FULL BACKUP of your milestone.

Ooooo nice! The leaked rom did have superb wifi performance...
I'll give this a try on Telus' U2_03.11.0
[EDIT]What does fw_tiwlan_ap.bin do?
And the instruction for fw_wlan1271.bin is just a bit wrong... it's adb push fw_wlan1271.bin /system/etc/wifi/
[EDIT2]Woo! Works!

"fw_tiwlan_ap.bin" is the firmware required for the Froyo 2.2.1 to use Wifi Hotspot, it did nothing on Android 2.1, so just simply ignore it.
and Thanks for pointing out the location of placing the "fw_wlan1271.bin" file, I will modify it.

Congratulation !!
You can use "dmesg" to see the new TIWLAN driver version
How can I copy and paste to the system?
Thanks!

Thanks for your work!
I'll be putting it to the test on Monday when I get to my school campus. Stock 2.1 drivers never worked there and only 2.2.1 drivers work. Fingers crossed! Thanks for the info about the hotspot. Guess it's not very useful for 2.1 users...

As long as you have adb setup, it's an easy task.
First, restart to recovery and do a backup:
Code:
adb pull /system/lib/modules/tiwlan_drv.ko tiwlan_drv.ko.bak
adb pull /system/etc/wifi/fw_wlan1271.bin fw_wlan1271.bin.bak
Then, unzip the files into your AndroidSDK/tools/ folder and push:
Code:
adb push fw_wlan1271.bin /system/etc/wifi/fw_wlan1271.bin
adb push tiwlan_drv.ko /system/lib/modules/tiwlan_drv.ko
adb shell reboot

You must have a rooted milestone in order to process.
Before you using adb push, try to remount your /system partition first.
Or you can try the following commands.
Ensure your wifi is turned off first.
*** Remember to make FULL BACKUP for your milestone before proceeding the following commands. ***
Code:
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb push tiwlan_drv.ko /sdcard/tiwlan_drv.ko
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb push fw_wl1271.bin /sdcard/fw_wl1271.bin
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb shell
$ su
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock6 /system
# cd /system/lib/modules
# mv tiwlan_drv.ko tiwlan_drv.ko.bak
# cp /sdcard/tiwlan_drv.ko ./tiwlan_drv.ko
# chmod 644 tiwlan_drv.ko
# cd /system/etc/wifi
# mv fw_wl1271.bin fw_wl1271.bin.bak
# cp /sdcard/fw_wl1271.bin ./fw_wl1271.bin
# chmod 644 fw_wl1271.bin
# mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock6 /system
And now, you can try turning on your wifi.
In case if there is any problem occurred, you may reboot into OpenRecovery, revert the drivers from "tiwlan_drv.ko.bak" and "fw_wl1271.bin.bak".
I want to make a quick update and say that this indeed solves my campus wifi issues I have had with 2.1-based drivers.
I'm not 100% sure about the stability of the drivers though - I'm having a little trouble with maintaining a steady connection with SwiFTP.
[EDIT]I must stress, however, that in no way does this mean the new drivers are of any blame. Until I have the time to investigate deeply into this issue, it is an isolated incident that is only occurring within my network and is of no indication of the fault of the new drivers.
I have 2.2.1 milestone but it didnt work with me proper, I installed everything properly but i got error when i try to open wifi. then i restore my back up files but it still gives me eeror

It is glad to hear that the new driver solved your wifi issues .
Besides, are you still having the problem even after setting the "Wifi Sleep Policy" to "Never"?
In my experience, although the new driver is much more stable, but due to the highly power saving, it may still become instable (just in weak signal, not freeze nor wifi hang) if the AP have far distance to your mobile. In this case, you may try "WifiPowerSavingOff" from market to turn off the power saving feature.
But if you turned off the power saving feature for this connection session, it may drain your battery much much faster, so just use it in some trouble network .

You haven't read the instructions carefully. It is the latest wifi driver for "2.1", not "2.2.1", as it is supposed to compile the driver from "2.2.1" down to "2.1".
So for 2.2.1, by default, you are already have the latest wifi driver (at least a stable wifi driver), it is no clue for using it.

Yeah, it's always set to never ever ever turn off wifi unless I explicitly shut it off. For me, it seems like wifi is transferring in bursts or in intervals. After a while (roughly 5 minutes of heavy wifi activity like FTPing stuff), the phone will freeze up and it won't even automatically reboot. Of course, a quick battery pull and the problem is solved, but nonetheless the issue is still here. It *may* be my sdcard, since I've made a swap from a class 6 4GB to a class 2 16GB, but I'm not going to jump to conclusions just yet until I do some testing here and there.
Btw, CM6 uses the file name fw_wlan1271.bin. I'm guessing stock Android from Moto looks for fw_wl1271.bin (just guessing... can't exactly prove it since I'm not running stock Android), which was why I was trying to correct you (although it seems to me both of us are right).

If you're running 2.2.1-CM6 you can extract the files from the update zip and adb push them into the phone. That is, if you're on CM6. If not, well... you can either upgrade to CM6 or go into fastboot and restore the sbf again.

Very interesting what you are saying. I had the same suspicion due the fact that the sdcard is often not accessible, this again causes multiple attempts to write and fills the buffer.
Concerning the battery pull, you can reboot and wipe the protected storage area with a script, so that you don't need to pull out the battery (which at the end does nothing else but losing voltage, resulting in loss of temp data

Can you go into a bit of detail on that? I'm interested
I've also had problems with the cell signal for 2.2-CM6. Again, I'm not sure the cause of it, but it's a very very serious issue that strikes at the wrong time. It seems like the cell radio freezes up even after a reboot with zero prior warning. So when I try to make a call, it doesn't go through. It's super frustrating, especially when there's really no good alternative to 2.2-CM6 right now. The only way to resolve this issue is to push the Telus baseband files again, but after a while it'll freeze up again. Ugh.
At least the Wifi works.
[EDIT]It seems like the cell problem is at least reported in the thread and acknowledge by other users. It seems to be fixed on 2.2.1-CM6, but since that's a little meh right now I'll have to dig around and see just what's causing the freeze.
[EDIT2]In fact, it seems like the problem is pretty widespread. Anything 2.2-CM6 based (that includes MotoFrenzy, Cronos...) has this problem.
works flawless, extreme improvement, thank you very much!

Well, I use to code similar stuff but I am complete new to android so i have to read the dev guide, if I had no guide I'd probably create a dump, see according the file descriptor where the tables and storage are are located, then set a "write" flag on the file system and flush it to avoid a manual battery pull. but i'm sure there's more elegant ways.

I made a little research and found a working solution, tested it myself.
Apparently it can happen that the resolved DNS can not be stored under certain circumstances, (in order to trace those, i try to avoid the "out of the box" mods, even though the guys make a tremendous job, but i feel more secure and have a higher learning curve by doing stuff myself).
In order to avoid random disconnects from network or wifi, or worst case both, add the following lines of code to /system/default.prop
net.dns1=8.8.8.8
net.dns2=8.8.4.4
net.rmnet0.dns1=8.8.8.8
net.rmnet0.dns2=8.8.4.4
These are the google dns, most probably the best choice. You can find this out if you fire up the "getprop" command.
I've seen that most Recovery tools such as the G.O.T one, have implemented the DNS fix, but personally I prefer to just fire up a terminal from the phone and add these lines manually with some comment, so i know what and why I'm doing stuff.
Hope this helps, let me know.
Please help! I succesfully copied both files using root explorer, but now I can't turn on wifi. Then I have restored the original files but it didn'tsolve the issue. I could do a nandroid restore but I really don't want to (last backup is quite old). I have a german milestone running 2.1 build SHOLS_U2_02.36.0

If you followed the instruction you should have to *.bak files that you previously pulled, so no need to do a "panic rollback".
Did you turn of wifi before copying the kernel objects and made a reboot before turning on wifi as described in the howto ?

I did turn off wifi before copying any files. However, I didn't rebooted before I tried to start wifi, only after I noticed it doesn't work.
Fix for 2.2.1 Possible?
I have the same issue with my home WIFI network on 2.1 and 2.2.1: namely the connection drops during large transfers (such as a Market app download) and I have to turn WIFI off and on again to have connectivity again.
I wonder if 2.2.1 really has the latest firmware baked in...how would I compile the TI firmware for 2.2.1?

Need help restoring wifi, screwed it up putting adhoc wifi on rooted honeycomb NC

Being relatively new with this sort of thing, I tried to follow cicada's thread to put adhoc wifi support for a STOCK (which obviously means unrooted) NC.
I get that now... but not before I tried this on my honeycomb rooted NC.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=860
I followed the steps... but when I got to step
adb push wpa_supplicant.adhocfix /system/bin/wpa_supplicant
It responded "cannot stat 'wpa-supplicant.adhocfix: no such file or directory.
So, I
adb push wpa_supplicant.backup /system/bin/wpa_supplicant
Then I
adb shell mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
and... no wifi. Says: "unable to start WiFi" on the settings page.
This thing kinda becomes worthless without wifi access, and I now realize that the adhoc mention I was following was for stock NC's.
Does anyone have any idea how I can unwreck this thing?
Ooops... disregard. I tried step 6, and voila! wifi is back. Minor details...
Thanks for reading... and my lesson is learned. Pay attention to ALL the steps!
Just curious, do you have adhoc running now?
I'm running the Deeper Blue's HC v04 preview (flash'd to eMMC), and did the adhoc "upgrade" last night. I used the files that were posted for the v02 preview; brought it into work today, and it's just fine...lots of new networks showing up.
I'm running the CWR flashable version of honeycomb, and can't get the market to work. per the suggestion of others i've cleared the framework and market data and cache several times but still have had no sucess. rather than just not being able to download, Now i get an error has occured message try again later message. However, I am still able to use Gmail to send and recieve emails. Any suggestions?
So I reflashed and still have the same issue i'm able to download from the market for a very short time before losing downloading privileges. also gtalk is unable to connect but i still get gmail.
edit: now g services work, but i still don't see all apps.

[Q] Can't get bluetooth to turn on.

I could use some help getting my bluetooth to work. I've tried several of the CM7 nightlys, their RC4, phiremod v5, v5.2, and v5.3. They all flash just fine, and work great, except when I try to turn on the bluetooth. When I go to the settings and try to turn it on, it just spends 30 seconds trying then goes back to having it off. I've flashed and re-flashed the system, and have read everything I can find, but don't know what I'm doing wrong.
My steps.
1) Downloaded 8gb_clockwork-0.1-ext4.tar.gz
2) Burned the contained img file to an sd card (used the dd command)
3) Copied system image to sd card (ie phiremod-nook-V5.3.zip)
4) Unmounted sd card and inserted it into my rooted nook
5) Turned nook on
6) Formated /system /data and /cashe
7) installed from sd card, selecting zipped image (ie phiremod-nook-V5.3.zip)
8) when complete, unmounted sd card
9) removed sd card
10) rebooted
11) it always fails to boot the first time, but works find after a restart.
Can anybody see what I'm doing wrong?
What works for me is pressing 'fix permissions' in rom manager then reboot and badabing.

Just a note as I try to avoid "Fix Permissions" when possible-
Anyone with this problem MAY be able to turn bluetooth on by rebooting and enabling it as quickly as possible.
This seems to work most of the time for most people. Not always..
If not, fix permissions and a reboot does seem to take care of it the rest of the time.

Why would you avoid fix permissions? It just sets things to sane values.
As for me, the fix I heard and what worked for me was to turn off Wifi, Power off, power back on, turn on Bluetooth and let it init, then turn on Wifi. Now both will turn on.

Two reasons:
#1) While I am not afraid to mess with root access or abilities I also try to avoid doing so whenever I can. If I don't NEED to, I don't. Same way I work on my linux computers. And if I have done nothing to mess perms up they SHOULD be ok.
#2) I think the simplest fix is best, every time. (As long as it actually FIXES the problem, of course.)
If all that is actually NEEDED is a reboot and turning on bluetooth quickly, why do anything else?

[GUIDE] Running Backtrack5/Ubuntu 10.04 On Tab 10.1

Backtrack5/Ubuntu v10.04 Up & Running On Tab 10.1​
Statement​Have this on my Samsung Galaxy S2 and working perfect so i figured i would give it a try on the Tab 10.1. There were alot of people who helped get this running for other devices i will mention them so dont worry. Alot of modifications had to be made in order to get this to run on the Tab because it was really made for a phone not a tablet so please follow all the steps cause there is certain code that i had to right to get the screen size to fit. Everything is fully functional and working. Finally i think this would be a nice addon to your Tab esp if your a big Ubuntu fan, I am currently working with other developers to see if we can update this so it has the new Ubuntu v11.10 but for now follow the steps and enjoy and if theres any questions or requests just write on the thread and PM me.

i believe it does but im not 100% on that
I cannot get this to work. Every time I try to install the bt5_sgs2_shell_scripts or bt5_sgs2_shell_scripts_v2, it says installation aborted. Needs to be Nandroid restored otherwise it won't boot. Any ideas?
So can i use both of honeycomb and ubuntu alternatively or together? Because in screenshots i can still see honeycomb taskbar at bottom over Ubuntu.
Nice work. And how to uninstall it?
Ok for JAYDAWGX7: are you wiping cache and davik cache before flashing and is your cwm up to date? if so and still having problem try a different kernal and get back to me
Ok for PARAG31: yes you can run bolth all backtrack5/ubuntu is doing is running threw vnc you are not loosing honeycomb you still have that as a base platform backtrack/ubuntu is just running threw vnc so to answer your question this does run bolth
I try with two diferents kernels and roms first task650 in paris v5 and other with task650 new honecomb 3.2 stock and no luck to install the zip file in recovery instalation aborted allways display. please post your roms and kernels info to migrate and run this on my gt

Yep, same problem here. Any ideas? Any one else try this?
P7500 running Overcome 10.1 Rom, with Pershoot Kernel 2.6.36.4, with CWM v5.1.2.3. Yes with wipe of both cache.
EDIT:
After further investigation, the zip file only contains the files found in the bt folder. Just extract it to the /sdcard/bt dir. Assuming that it makes no other changes to system.
Got to [email protected], haven't done the rest yet! Will update post later.
EDIT:
Everything works after this.
Plus, i dont think monitor mode or injection works. Not without modified drivers (STILL HOPING ITS NOT THE CASE). Maybe usb? Hows usb hosting on this? Hope someone can answer these questioms.
I have a compatible wifi adapter, but no usb adapter for the tablet! I'll put it on my buy list.
Will this work on the 3G version also?
Edit: Awesome! It works perfect, thanks! Only remember to have busybox installed guys!
The correct resolution is 1280x752, so it is : "vncserver -geometry 1280×752"
also ur script isnt flashable. only thing in /data is busybox, just install busybox from market and change script
will work on 3g and wifi versions
very nice, also works on GTab 7310 (8.9 Wifi 3g)
heaven, thank you!
Awesome, works like a charm, and it blows everybody's mind.
I spent a little time on try to get capture mode to work, but gave up with the original network drivers.
I hoped it would be possible to use a normal usb wifi stick connected to the adapter, compile the drivers, and load them as modules, but i'm getting error messages when doing that, and that's where my knowledge of linux ends.
Anyone tried this yet? Any pointers? (currently flashing overcome 2.0, will try to post errormsg later)
Also, I read in one of the CarrierIQ threads that one of the pieces of the app actually uses libPcap to snoop on our asses. Would it be any help (or problem) that that's enabled in the parent OS?
Just one question: Can I use bluetooth keyboard/mouse with it? And will TrueCrypt run?

[Q] Problem with WIFI in my G1 "error"

Hi everyone,
I have problem with wifi in my G1.
I've been using Froyo by Laszlo Rom for last 1year.
Yesterday, I was change ROM to BananaBread 2.1
After installation I decided to change theme/colors.
When I was changing theme in MetaMorph phone was get a FC.
After that "settings" disappeared from menu list and from desktop.
then I flash ROM one more time.
Since that time, when I want to turn on my wifi there is: "turning on..."
after few seconds there is "error"
I can't turn on or connect (wifi)
Lets say, that after few hour I can turn on wifi for a while. -> scanning, but when I want to connect i get FC. after this i have "error" in wifi and can't turn on one more time.
operations which I've done:
-change rom (different, few times)
-change kernel (different, few times)
-change radio (different, few times)
-change recovery (different, few times)
-format and new partition sd
-new sd card (after format&partition -> new rom)
-wifi fix from market
-adb (all options, chown ect)
-remove wpa_supplicant.conf
I don't have more options.
Maybe You guys can help me ?
best,
Thomas
PS.
Sorry, for my english.
B
maybe you should just go to an altogether different rom?
havent tried out bananabread yet but sounds like if you want to stay with this rom you should try to post in the developers section and see if the dev can give you a fix
I've already wrote that I was changing rom's
I don't have bananabread now.
in every different rom wifi doesn't work. -> error.
chances are there is something wrong with your daughterboard then, thats the smaller board with the usb port. that is where the wifi is located
