Currently, I'm running the OTA 3.2 and think its going to be better for me to run flexreapers rom instead of wait for the OTA ICS (when ever that happens).
That being said, I only have one reason I am swaying to the rom: Has root so I can install the wps supplicant and get AdHoc wifi connections working again. (So I can connect to my cell phone wifi).
So I spent the last two days trying to reason out how to install it. I've searched about everything and think I need to go back to an earlier version of 3.x so I can get root again, but that's where I am lost...everything seems to require root to do that. I was going to do the 3.2 rom that has root but all the links for it are dead.
Can someone point me to a way to work thorugh this?

Thanks for trying (I think) I went through that thread already, it does not work. The first step says 'Ensure your device is rooted' Hence my question.

Use method 2, downgrade, install iconia root to give you root, install cwr, flash what you want. What doesn't work?
ok so heres the rundown. i have my hd2 and have in the past put a different rom on, so it is not stock(just for a reference point). Now i want android, I have multiple verions n builds which were using paranoid android and cm9 for ice cream sandwhich. Every build i throw on there i always boot thru the sd card thru the clrcad.exe. Every build i try the wifi is never able to find any sources, it just keeps turning on n off.
That is my problem and didnt know how to go about it. Just for Reference 1. I have looked thru all the developer threads and did see others had problems and they got no solutions. 2. i just joined so i cannot post in the developer threads to ask them for help. 3. i did search the forums for similar problems but nothing related to the same problem they were using different build or os. If i missed somthing please tell me.
I thought maybe since i dont have a stock rom on the hd2 it might be interfering with ics. The wifi works fine while using windows. A second thogut was maybe i should just install the magldr which from what i read would wipe the internal mem, but once the first time putting that on there i could was done i could boot thru that instaed of using clrcab.exe.

i would just hit te thanks! button but it said i didnt have permission so Thanks! i will try thatright now
ok so i applied the apk and installed with superuser permission without a problem. i then reset the phone, but it didnt work. So i made sure that under advavance configuration it said US, tghen proceeded to input the *#94349# and it said that wifix was enabled, but still the same problem it just turns on n off all the while giving me the unending message of "turning on wifi..."
but now here is the things i have tried since yesterday i have made to installer hardspl 2.08 and radio 20.15.50.14 and then magldr. With little trouble i was able to get android to run stright from bootup now instaed of going thru windows. Everything runs great except for wifi, i technicly not sure if data works as to i dont have it on yet, soon tho.... soon...
Any ideas would be much thanks. BTW im trying PARANOIDANDROID HD2 [v1.5b][TABLET/HYBRID][CM9][tytung HWA R3] from the thread [26-Aug-12][sd/mag] paranoid jellybean hd2 Beta v1.992.
You said you tried the same apn under windows and it worked. Now you're on ICS and it doesn't work.
I had this problem a while ago when I went on a vacation, it just used to say "truning wifi on", but nothing shows up. It's a regional wifi problem. OK, try this: flash a rom without a simcard inserted, and check if the wifi is working. IF, it works, then WiFix SHOULD fix your issue, otherwise report back.
(Btw, there is another way to fix the regional wifi by replacing the wireless modules, but I can't find the link, sorry )

ok so i have burn thru most of those kernals not seem to work except some were laggier. Reverted back to original kernal the dev was using and removed sim card. It didnt help still had same problem. Still want to stay with this build but i am looking into a similar build for rom to flash to internal.

Oh, you're using an sdrom, sorry I forgot that !
No, it doesn't have to be to the internal, just a fresh install (whether nand or sd, and in your case it's SD)
And you totally misread my answer, I didn't mean Kernels and I didn't mean remove the sim while still on the same rom x)
Maybe it's my fault for writing such an answer, let me paraphrase my answer for you:
1- Remove your current build from the SD card (better if you backup your whole sd to pc and format it)
2- Remove simcard. (BEFORE INSTALLING)
3- Put totally fresh and new rom on sd.
4- Boot up ROM and test wifi.
5- Report back Read the edit
Edit:
OK, first of all, I'm sorry for not reading the whole thread. I just read it again, and will answer your questions.
You wanted to try android so you went for Icecream (which has the regional Wifi issue)
As long as the radio is correct, the stock ROM should not interfere with android.
No, if it is (truly) the regional issue, installing android through MAGLDR will not solve your issue. it will persist.
And btw, instead of doing all the steps, just try a GingerBread ROM, if wifi works there then it is the regional issue.

ok so i took sim card, formated the sd card, put fresh build on and started it. Loaded in and still same exact problem. ok so will try gingerbread.
ok so put gingerbread on phone and loaded it up and gave it a reboot just because. Loaded up, turned on wifi hit settings for it, it just said scanning. Backed out installed wifix, and dialed *#93439# it engaged and still nothing changed. Now on both this and ics i input my ssid and wep key for my home router just to try and help out but just said not in range. If i dont put that in, ice just says turning wifi on... then off then on etc..., on gigerbread it says scanning. So im stuck on what to do the only thing i havent tried far as i know (which is very little) is to flash to the interal mem.
On gingerbread you don't need the WiFix.. uninstall it.
if it says scanning, that means it's working.
Isn't there anyone one here who would be willing to make a rom for the ME301t besides the stock ones? If we were willing to donate money to get it done?

Sorry didn't know.

Sorry about your device scenario. Im sure something will come along start a thread campaigning in a place where it wont get deleted and you may find more people that know someone wlling.
Cromi-x and Geimlock are already compatible with ME301T... :good::good::victory:
Since the ME301T is so close to the TF300 in terms of specs and because of how easy it was to make the ME301 work on CROMI or GRIMLOCK, its possible that there might only be a few minor things that need to change to make a ME301 work on a CM rom. Since there are no devs who own an ME301T we would needs some help from the community to get it to work.
Mainly we would need for someone with an ME301T to install a CM based rom and see if it will boot. From there you would need to get a logcat and send it to us so we can see if we can fix the issues that are preventing it from working.

Sounds like it isn't too far off. What I need is for someone to try and flash a CM rom and send me logs of when it is booting up etc. As a suggestion, I would try this rom: GRIMLOCK_CM_3.0 as it is the rom I am working on. It would be easiest for me to help on that.

Okay, will do. I'll download and it and give it a shot. I'm not very good with the logcat stuff, lol, but I will do my best.
Well, it boots into the rom and I get a little circle which is a mouse I guess. I can get around and I can get into settings but I can't figure out how to get down to about tablet so I can get to usb debugging. If I try to adb while it's booting up adb just says waiting for device... So I can't do the logcat. Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong or a way to get adb working?

Okay, I messed around and finally got usb debugging turned on. Rebooted and did this logcat. I can't get wifi turned on at all.
BTW: I love this rom without all the google crap on it. I have always hated having to run through all the setup wizard crap too. Thank you for helping with this. I'm very excited about getting this rom for my tablet.

Okay, I wasn't sure if you meant to flash both files one right after the other, so I flashed the rom, then the test. Sticks me at CyanogenMod animation. Then I did a clean flash of just the rom, rebooted and flashed the test, it booted, said Android is updating apps and then gets stuck at starting apps. So then I rebooted just to see if maybe that would do it but that just sticks at CM animation once again.

Instead of being able to just touch the screen and make choices, this little round circle pops up when you touch the screen and you have to move that little circle around and tap on the circle twice to make choices. It's like using a touch pad for the mouse on a laptop. For instance, if you want to open settings you have to position the little circle on the settings button, tap twice, it opens settings, then you have to position the circle on say wifi and tap the circle again. To scroll, you have to position the little circle at the very bottom of settings, and it's a hit or miss type of thing, tap it and then move it upwards to get to the bottom, like about tablet and tap the little circle again. Does that make since? The rom is basically mouse driven instead of touch driven.
This logcat is while it's booting and also once I'm in the rom.
Bluetooth is definitely working. I connected a bluetooth mouse and I can navigate with that instead of having to navigate with the little circle.
Hey guys,
I searched the web already but I can't find a solution. My S5 won't turn bluetooth on anymore. It's rooted but after rootprocess, BT worked fine. I can't remember that I've done something around BT. I've deleted Data and Cache already and rebooted the phone afterwards but still no Bluetooth. I opened Quick Connect and a Toast appeared which said "Bluetooth activated" but there wasn't the logo in the status bar and the icon in the notification center was also grey. Hope that you can help me.

Any solutions?
Hey mate..
Any solution yet..?
Mine wont turn on still.

Reinstall ROM
Maybe the cause of the problem is that you downloaded an invalid root and it did something to the bluetooth. I highly recommend reflashing a stock rom. See if anything changes. Thank you :victory:

For the gentleman with the stock rom - you can try rebooting into service mode (holding home+volume up and then pressing power) and wipe your cache there - and then try to switch on bluetooth. If that does not work - warranty claim.
As for the rooted phone - you cannot be sure how stable the implementation of bluetooth drivers etc on that rom is. It could have worked at first and later - due to any number of reasons - could stop. I'd really suggest flashing a stock rom and checking - that way you'll be sure the hardware is ok. If not ok - warranty claim.

Yes, it could although that wouldn't be a normal result. But yes, it's possible. Depends on what you did with the Busybox configuration.

Just installed the 1.22.1 version of Busybox with the pro app that's all. Maybe it killed some symlinks.
Well if you practice safe mods.. you'll have made a backup before installing Busybox. So temporarily restore your backup and see if the issue resolves?
If you don't make backups, then you have a lot more work as you have to look for a pattern and /or guess at the cause.
.
I usually always make Nandroid Backups but in this case not. I'm afraid that Busybox will kill my S5 if I deinstall it. What if I flash a Stock Custom rom via CWM? Of course with a full wipe
I doubt Busybox is the cause, but I cannot rule it out. Only because it was a recent change does it move up the suspect list.
Still way too many variables in my mind. I'd probably start by installing a 100% stock firmware temporarily, just for troubleshooting. Confirm that bluetooth works i.e. not a stock issue or hardware failure. Then install your core apps one by one.. see if you can narrow down the conflict fairly rapidly.
But that is hardly the only way to go about it. As you like.. you have to start somewhere and either cull a lot of possibilities or wait for a pattern to emerge. Search the forum too, just in case it's some issue affecting a larger number of people - which might offer more clues.
Good luck.

Before I flashed a new firmware with Odin I decided to flash a Custom Rom. Flashed new bootloader + modem and performed a "Wipe for new Rom" in Philz CWM, flashed the rom, set up my apps and settings and, BT works again. Thanks for your help

Yes it works fine and the issue has nothing to do with root. Probably half of us using it are rooted without issue
Bit of a thread-dig here, but I just got a PH1 and went straight to P (not rooted yet) and saw no WiFi. Wouldn't even turn on.
The phone came with 7.1.1 and I flashed P via fastboot. Tried rebooting and monkeying with it, but never saw any progress, no list of networks, etc.
7.1.1 did see WiFi for the 5 minutes I ran it.
Flashed latest stable 8.1 and it WiFi worked again immediately.
Then flashed 9 a second time and now WiFi works fine.
My best guess is the 7.1.1->9 transition has some kind of issue (doesn't quite make sense to me, given that I think EVERYTHING is being flashed by the 9 update, but this did fix it).

My best guess is the 7.1.1->9 transition has some kind of issue (doesn't quite make sense to me, given that I think EVERYTHING is being flashed by the 9 update, but this did fix it).

Just got my Essential Phone today as well and did the exact same thing, flashed straight from 7.1.1 to P. I thought I was seriously going to have to send the phone back due to a broken Wi-Fi chip or something. You are seriously a lifesaver!

What can be done about this? I am having the same issue, but I have flashed the whole "Back to Stock" set for P beta 2 from the other thread.

If I take your post at face value... You have a bad flash and need to try again... Or blame your cable... And go buy a new one...
Otherwise... You have a bad download... Or there is something wrong wrong with your zip or batch/script... Or you're not completely unlocked
Listen guys, the issue is bc the ota zip for p doesnt flash both slots and the fastboot images zip doesnt either. If u look at the script (flashall. Bat) with a text editor it specifically shows only flashing one slot. To fix the wifi issue, u need the july oreo images file and that flashall. Bat flashes both slots and will fix the lost wifi and or Bluetooth. Once u do that, it reboots twice and go back to dev options and renable usb debugging. Now u reboot bootloader and flash p. Now it should all work. Also, in doing this, you will have to lose your data.
Same here but can't roll back to Oreo
See.issue here but I seem.to not be able.to resolve wifi issue or roll back to Oreo. When I try to reflash it just says it expects a newer version of is. Any ideas?

The reason is because one of the OTAs did not have the partition you're looking for... And it created a mismatch somewhere...
You DO NOT need to have the same software on A and B... It just makes troubleshooting easier from our perspective... And... It forces you to reflash and probably fix the problem...
As intended... There should ALWAYS be a mismatch between A and B... At least a monthly security update... If not an Android versioning difference
Edited. We are all just trying to help others. Lets keep it that way.
so, uhmmm like yea...... there is this thread here, called the stock images thread (link for posterity https://forum.xda-developers.com/essential-phone/development/stock-7-1-1-nmj20d-t3701681 ) this is firmware images, directly from essential. I have added the remaining images that you dont get from essential, so that way you can reflash, and get the same version of software on both sides. there are wipe and no wipe bat files in there, twrp11 (the working twrp we have), and the fix red boot (in case you broke verity), and a stockboot.img (coincidentally the same file as called boot in the zip, but renamed for your twrp/rooting pleasure).
These images work great, many many many people have used them to go back and forth between O and P, OTA, or recover from catastrophe. As usual, beware of dragons, make SURE SURE SURE SURE you have a working adb/fastboot environment (use the version that comes with essentials drivers) (you can always do ADB VERSION or FASTBOOT --VERSION ) to check your version and where its working out of. It is 1 stop shopping. I also know the guy that makes the zips

No prob, i understand the frustration.i assure you i was not guessing. I only post what i know is for sure. When faced with the exact same issue as OP i was forced to flash both slots to fix it. Yes, they could boot up with slightly different partitions, but the wifi was broken still. I believe the whole phone needed both slots flashed with each corresponding img simultaneously in order to resolve said issue. For whatever reason, i had both a and b screwed up. At the time i was trying to fix the ril and camera issues on the pixel 2 system image after flashing it on my essential. I want to get that working fully to release as a port.

Wouldn't it be easier to attempt to port the 2 or 3 features we don't have as a separate systemui.apk or framework-res.apk?
And use Magisk?
Since we don't have that fancy hardware photo rendering thingymabob
