Hi everyone,
I just wanted to ask how I would fix my wifi and mobile data. The wifi is periodically connecting and automatically turns off without connecting - same goes for the mobile data. These problems started after I used the all in one LG P880 tool. I rooted successfully and tried to flash a custom recovery (CWM) with my bootloader unlock. This gave me an error when I tried booting into recovery (error: wrong boot image signature). Anyway the phone boots just fine and I can use it except the recovery didn't work (apart from android stock recovery 3e). I then tried to unlock the bootloader with the tool because I have a JB EUR device and the screen just got stuck at "performing factory reset". So I did a hard reset and no data was erased except my recovery doesn't work as well as wifi and mobile data. I tried flashing CWM with ROM Manager to no avail. Any ideas of how to fix this would be much appreciated! I searched and searched but no one had similar problems to me!
Thanks very much for even replying!
1st properly install cw recovery from development thread
2nd try flashing a kernel like Optimus prime which has wifi and 3g modules, see if that solves it,
otherwise you probably have to restore original kdz and repeat rooting procedure.
THANKS!

Hello experts,
After CAREFULLY reading the instructions to root and install Cyanogen on my X2, I have run into a problem. After downloading Rom Manager from the market, I installed CWM, which worked fine.
Going by the instructions, I wanted to ensure I performed a NANDroid backup of the stock ROM, 'just in case'. So i did.
After confirming, and granting 'su' privileges, the phone restarted, only to be stuck on the LG logo.
Holding down VOL DNW + POWER is no help, as the phone was still stuck on the logo.
I don't understand what I have possibly done wrong, but none of this was stated in the wiki so I am assuming i'm in a unique situation?
After some googling:
> I have read that it may be from CMW converting to EXT4.. whereas the stock rom can only run in EXT3? .. android.modaco.com/topic/336318-4-apr-r1-backtoext3-for-converting-your-device-er-back-to-ext3/ ..
> All hope is not lost as apparently, I can flash to stock rom using NVFlash: .. android.modaco.com/topic/335474-25-mar-nvflash-stock-rom-release-v10b-dated-1300166062-15032011/ ..
Ok, so I understand I have a possible solution to my problem (NVFlash), however I would like to know why this happened & how I can avoid it from happening in the future.
Thanks for your help in advance.

NVflash is a built in safety system by nVidia, it has nothing to do with the recovery image. You should be very careful with NVflash, because it's very low level and even the slightest mistake could brick your phone.

Hello everyone
Recently I need to flash my ROM to official ROM - BIN_LGP990AT-00-V10c-EUR-XX-APR-16-2011+0 by SmartFlashTool for p990. Everything was successfully done and everything worked fine, then I rooted my mobile by SuperOneClickv2.3.2-ShortFuse. Again, everything was done well, but the program asked me if I want to install BusyBox, I chose YES, but I think that I hadn't done it. Because then I want to start/boot my android and nothing happened, just LG logo and then nothing only black screen (as like been the system was stuck), no boot logo, nothing even though I wait to boot about 10 minutes. I diceded to try flash my mobile again by SmartFlashTool, but didn't work again. I done everything right, but still 3 sec LG logo then nothing just black screen. I also tryed to get to the Recovery Mod but still no response.
Please VERY PLEASE, WHAT CAN I DO NOW??? HOW CAN I FLASH SOME NEW ROM WITHOUT SmartFlashTool and Recovery Mode or how can i FIX this problem?
P.S.:SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH
Hi. I would suggest to you to flash the original ROM thru SmartFlash tool, the .bin and .fls files. After that, root it again. It will be successful if you can see the Superuser App in the list of apps. Then, install CWM version 5.0.2.8 and do NANdroid backup (if you have problems on the ROM you have flash, you can flash the backup anytime you want!). Select the ROM you want, download, put it on your SDcard, do the 3 wipes (factory, cache partition, then davlik [advanced]). Everything must be working, if you those things correctly.
Hope it helps.

Hi folks,
I tried updating my S plus to ICS today by following the instructions listed here:
theandroidsoul.com/galaxy-s-plus-i9001-ice-cream-sandwich-update-install-cyanogenmod-9-cm9-pretty-good-and-working-rom
I read through the instructions and it looked pretty simple. I successfully installed Team Win recovery, performed a backup, wiped, and then installed the CM9 rom.
After the installation, the phone just boots back into Team Win recovery. I tried reverting to the backup, but it still just boots to recovery every time.
Now that I'm stuck in TeamWin recovery, I'm at a loss on what to try next .
Does anyone have any insight on how I can fix the problem?
Thanks,
Evan
Sometimes when you flash new Recovery (usually when replacing stock recovery with modified recovery for the first time) you get stuck at bootloop. It means /boot partition was damaged. After flashing TWRP did you restart your phone and it booted correctly, or did you install everything (TWRP, got backup, wipe and install new ROM) at once?
There is a guide for i9001 bootloops

So is reflashing in Odin what you are suggesting? Sorry if I'm misunderstanding.
And yes, after I flashed TWRP it booted fine, the 2nd time I went into recovery, performed the backup, wiped, then flashed the rom. I've tried wiping both the cache's with no success. I've also tried reflashing the rom, wiping the cache's, restoring with the backup, wiping cache's again... nothing seems to be working
What would be different if I had installed everything (TWRP, backup, wipe, rom) at the same time?
*Edit* Reflashed through Odin and it worked great! Thanks for the help, I'm a little scared to start messing with the phone again, but ICS is tempting...
Got the rom working with a fresh backup after fixing the bootloop. Thanks again for the link divibyzero, the troubleshooting steps solved the problem, whatever it was, and now its running ICS
These Samsungs S+'s seem to be a little more finiky than my HTC.

You didn't specify, so I'll assume you have an i9001, if this is not the case, you probably shouldn't follow these instructions
Just reflash the bootloader as explained here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24831012&postcount=1330) and you'll be fine. I had the exact same problem when I had installed CWM on my own device. It's not with adb, but it's not like you have to do a lot of effort to get Odin or anything and it will fix your device.

You must properly install Samsung mobile drivers on your PC, kill Samsung Kies process (or even better: uninstall Kies) and enable USB debugging on your phone. Then it will work.

The problem was that I was using Windows 8. I was able to resolve the issue after doing it on Windows XP.
Hello,
I own an Xperia Z C6603 and i was running the latest oficially available firmware before
i m quite new to all the stuff regarding flashing/rooting/unlocking etc
so today i decided to give it a shot.
now my phone is in a state that i cant use it any more.
Basically what i wanted to do is install this [BeanStalk-4.4015] custom rom. Now its stuck on the loadscreen forever.
I started with rooting the device following the description in one of the posts i found here (flashing the previous kernel with flashtool then rooting it and flashing the original latest kernel again) which worked out very well.
After that i unlocked the bootloader following another guide here in forums which went ok without any problems aswell.
As it seemed like it reset all my settings after unlocking the bootloader i reenabled the developer mode to set the USB debugging and security options for unofficial software aswell.
All went fine and i was preparing to install the custom rom so i put the zip file on my sd card entered the recovery mode and flashed the rom zip file.
It seemed all ok and the phone was restarting and its stuck in the boot screen ever since that. I tried to get it back in order by trying out various stuff i could find here on forums.
when i tried to reset the delvik cache initially i did not see any error messages or anything so i assumed that its done correctly also cleared the other caches which were listed. I was getting a bunch of errors but i assumed its because the folders could be empty as it seemed like the phone was completely reset after the bootloader unlock.
I could not get anywhere with the CWM recovery mode so i flashed MOEW kernel through flashtool. The meow kernel was mentioned in the post regarding the custom rom as viable and it included TWRP recovery so i wanted to give it a try.
First exactly the same happened when i tried to boot it normally... Stuck...
So after that i tried to mess around with the TWRP recovery which seemed a bit more complicated than CWM.
First that came to my eye was that i could not enable all the partitions (system was constantly disabled) i managed to enable it after hitting the fix permissions button a bunch of times also i started to get some error messages while trying to reset dalvik cache but none of this changed the main problem at all.
Also i m unable to access the SD card from my computer for some reason even if i enable USB teathering in CWM or TWRP.
any suggestions how to get the phone back to work ?

would you suggest trying another 4.4 based rom ?
Hello again,
ok so i gave up on the beanstalk 4.4 rom and decided to try my luck with pac rom mtayabkk suggested
so now the problem is not as big as it was.
Able to get the rom to run however i m unable to import my contacts/sms/call log using titan backup
The restore seems to work but after that i m getting com.android phone has stopped error everywhere i go on my phone (the contacts/etc are actually restored in this process tho and work fine apart from the errors)
i did restore a bunch of other settings together with the contacts aswell which i found as safe to back up in a guide i found
so can you give me an advice how to properly restore this to the newest pac man rom and avoiding various errors after that ?
ps
i moved all my media to sd card so it does not concern me the only thing i cant seem to be able to move over apart from contacts/sms/call log are the APN settings which is bothering me a bit aswell as i can not receive the configuration messages from carrier but i found them on the internet and i will add them manually
trying to restore the stock backup from PC companion right now to export them again as i lost the backup in process of trying to deal with the error i was getting
would you suggest trying again with titan backup or any other tools ?
Hello,
first post, trust I did not miss aynthing.
Bought a cheap used SM-T810N as "damaged" believing it is a software problem and I can fix it.
Flashed everything I found (Lollipo, Marshmallow, CM, TWRP recovery, etc.)
Tablet stucks at Samsung Logo and shows some strange color effects (lines, artefacts) but screen works fine in Recovery, TWRP, etc.
Anyone any idea how to identify the real problem?

Have you tried a full wipe before using Odin to flash a ROM? Including the data partition? Or tried booting to "download" instead of TWRP to use Odin?
edit: And you do need to use Odin to get things working before trying to flash anything via TWRP.
Seems like a mismatched bootloader and kernel issue to me.
Flashing stock firmware with ODIN should fix it if it is.
