Ok, here it goes. let me first say that I am just learning alot of this stuff. I'v had my DX for almost a year now and had it Z4rooted and the tether apk applied in no time at all then came the GB update which was actually pushed onto me. So be it.
I have been watching the forums and reading posts off and on since the update, waiting till another reliable tether patch came out. I have the radiocomm app but was always leery of using it with my limited knowledge in this field.
Today after alot of reading I decided to install Liberty3 v2.0 Gold and did so with no problem whatsoever. then I continued reading and then decided to continue on with 3GHotspot.zip and TBH_DX_Tether_Patch_1.0.zip in that order. I did it through the built in ROM mgr. in liberty3 in the rom toolbox. with reboots in between.
I then went into my apps list and clicked on the new 3G wi-fi tether icon and was immediately shot to my boot screen animation. Thinking this was a fluke I attempted it 2 more times with the same result, Reboot. After this I noticed that I was on 3g data and no longer connected to my home wi-fi router I went in and tried to turn that back on but it won't even try. I'm locked out of wi-fi now as well.
I then turned to my friend google and started looking around and found one post and only one posting listing at mydroidworld post# 35944 that had this link "3GHotspot Unpatch --- Download" but that link was broken because of it being a megaupload link (which we all know was seized by the feds)
I have no idea what to do to rectify this situation. I am all for re-flashing the ROM and plan on doing that but I would like some guidance on this before I start messing things up worse than they already are. are there uninstalls for both of thes zips? if so where? have either of these altered my radios NVM authentication strings with these hacks and patches? can they be undone? please help.
Nope, no uninstalls for those zips. At least not to my knowledge.
Ok, I ended up having to SBf back to .602 with RSDLite 5.4.4 and then take the OTA update to .605.
I then re-flashed the Liberty3 v2.0Gold and then through the built in ROM Mgr. I installed the WugPacked GB Tether Patch.zip and everything worked out great. working free Wi-Fi. Thanks to those that both helped and wanted to help but forgot to post anything in the space provided.
Issue solved.

Hi folks,
First I wanna take a moment to thank the community for all the great work.
with out your hard work and excellent tutorials I would not have been able to do this on my own.
I Originally had JF1.42RC33, and had used MarcusMaximus's AppstoSD application found here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3627492#post3627492
When JF put out his 1.5ADP recently I went ahead and flashed that without wiping. I also updated the Radio immedietly after flashing JF's ROM. Everything was working fine at this point.
Then when johnowa636 posted his Aero port based on the JF build.
Found here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=511183
I decided to flash that, because I really like Aero. Everything at this point was good, with the occasional forceclose error coming from com.vending.something (sorry i just don't remember the excact error)
So recently when Ultra Spikey posted his Aero theme for JF1.5
Found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=482799
I decided to Flash once again the Original JF1.5 I had downloaded from JF's blog. and then I flashed the theme created by Ultra Spikey.
Everything seems fine, but it's not. All the apps installed work and function as they should and the Market sees all my installed apps and purchased apps. it sees them as installed and some have updates available.
The problem Im having is when I clik on update, I get a starting download, but it just sits there and never downloads. I've tryed on both 3G and wi-fi and still it is not working. I also tryed to just download an app i didn't have. and also it would not download.
If anyone can help guide me in the right direction so I can learn what is wrong and how to fix it, I would really appreciate it.
I have the SDK installed in windows XP 64bit and also have a drive I installed Debian 5.0 on. I installed Debian so I could partition the SD, but Im a totall newbie to it.
I hope I've provided enough info. If there is anything else I can add please let me know, And thanks for taking the time to read this.
Something similar happened to me today after I (finally) got A2SD working on JF1.5. Apps were downloading fine initially, but then stalled. Got stuck on the same "Starting download..." step just like yours did. I left it there, remembering people having a similar issue a month ago or so, and eventually they downloaded and installed fine.
Is it just the market throttling people who download too many apps within a short time frame?
Off-topic question. Does the Aero v1.3 theme work with Open Home, or is it purely for the stock launcher?
Thanks for the reply ^^
I'll try just waiting and see if the download issue resolves itself.
I do have open home installed. it seems to work just fine with Ultra spikey's theme. i've a atached 2 screenshots.
Problem is fixed.
waiting did not solve the problem I had downloading apps.
Having no other input for ideas on how to go about fixing this I simply wiped, Reformated the ext2 partition ( just to be sure I started with a clean slate ), and reflashed JF1.5.
I then Applied the Aero theme and Finally used the A2SD method found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=512743
All is working well
I would close this thread, but I do not know how.
First post here but I have searched and read a lot since joining.
I bit the bullet and rooted my hero last night following this guide from regaw_leinadso I guess I can't post links...)
Everything went fine so I then wiped and loaded freshrom 2.1.2 followed by a damage710.zip overclocking file in that order. This also worked fine and I was enjoying the new setup.
The main reason I rooted was for wifi tethering so I tried it out and kept getting a "unable to start tethering, please try again" message. After more reading I found that there was a bug in 212 on superuser permissions. So, I loaded the 212 su fix file and went back to wifi tether. The su permission came up and I selected always allow, was able to connect and all was good. I then tried to stop, su permission came up again, always allow was selected...then the device froze on "stop tethering." The only way for me to get out of this was to pull the battery.
I tried it again, and again it freezes at stop tethering and I have to pull the battery. I tried updating wifi tether with the one that is currently on the market (202) and that version stops at "unable to start tethering" message.
My initial recovery image was 1.5.2. I then did the process again using 1.2.3 with the exact same results.
Am I missing something here?
Thanks
In the dev threads there is a kernel you need to flash to stop it from freezing. I couldn't tell you if it works with your rom though. just have to try it.
Thanks; any idea where or which one it is? I can't seem to find it.

I recently was running jt1134's CM7 Alpha, My phone was running perfect.
Now today, I decided to revert back to stock, because I was going to trade my phone to someone. I downloaded the stock .zip file from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1046377
After flashing that, I can get everything to work, except for syncing my Google account and WiFi. I get the error saying that I am not connected to a mobile network, and that I need to try again. I've tried countless times over the past hour to do so, And not once has it been successful.
I would try on wifi, but it just so happens that WiFi doesnt work either, it will see our networks, but It will not get past obtaining an IP address. Does anyone have any input on to why this is happening?
Sorry if this is in the wrong place, I didn't know if it went in Q&A or General, so I just threw it in here. Please inform me, or just move it if I happened to be in the wrong place. Thanks in advance everyone.
Can anyone help?
I fixed it.. I flashed the debinged/debloated/rooted All-in-one package..
I just recently got this tablet from someone else. (This person had no problems and is trustworthy in reporting all that was done and care taken with it, even offering on advice on things you can do with it.)
My first step was to connect to Wifi. This happened without problems.
When returning home from work where I also connected, my wireless connection(s) said "Disabled" after trying to obtain the IP where they worked fine before. The first time this happened I had to do a factory reset to solve it (hardware reset didn't do it).
Today, it is happening again. I woke it from "standby" to start using again at home and received this message. In fact, any attempted WiFi connections comes up saying "disabled" after attempting to connect and obtain an IP. Again, these are saved connections that previously worked. I know for a fact that it's not the routers.
Please help if you can. I've tried:
1) power off/up 2x in a row to no avail
2) removing and adding back the connection with the appropriate passwords
3) a factory reset but I really don't want to do that again because I'm afraid flashing it back will bring back the same problem.
3) I haven't put any new apps on it since it last worked earlier today so I can't figure that as an issue. The first time it happened a week ago was when I'd just gotten it. It has worked for almost a week without problem. I did nothing special but travel home.
SPECS:
A500 Wifi
Rooted (was unrooted when it first happened); rooted now using IconiaRoot v1.3
(previously rooted and unrooted with Gingerbreak which would no longer root)
ROM: Honeycomb 3.1 with Virtuous Picasso v.1.1.0
Kernel: 2.6.36.4-UNITY-V5-ge7dee2a-dirty
Thanks in advance.
it's a known problem with this tablet when moving from one access poin to another, introduced with the update to 3.1. you have to reset using the pin hole near the micro USB port. i use a staple.
it may take a few tries. if it never works, there's a specific file you can delete if you're rooted. if you cant do that, you will have to do a device wipe.
There is a known issue of connecting to PEAP/EAP networks, which most work networks are. After connecting successfully, often many times, it will suddenly fail to connect. It also shows the signal from the access point to be very low or non-existent. After this happens, it can also cause problems with other PEAP/EAP access points as well.
If this is what happened to you, here's the fix. Try to connect to the access point giving you problems. While it is stuck on trying to connected, click the access point name and tell the tablet to Forget it. Then enter the same access point information manually and try to reconnect. This fixed my problem, and the fix sticks for a few weeks or so until it comes back.
Interesting, I had this same problem a few weeks ago when I visited my parents house. After a couple reboots it just started magically working again and didn't think anything of it. Their router is whatever the Verizon FiOS people install when you get their service.
Thanks, GeekGuy and Falkner, but.....
I've tried both before, but I went ahead and tried both of your recommendations again (pin reset and connection attempt/forget/add). Neither fixed it.
I would like to try to delete the file that Falkner mentioned, but you didn't specify a name and/or location of it. Can you share that?
I could never find what file to delete, so I've just installed a new ROM (thanks to XDA for info on all the how to stuff).
We'll see if it repeats.
Gone from V.Picasso v.1.1.10 with HC 3.1 to Taboonay 2.1 with HC 3.2.
Thanks for the attempted help!
Just guessing but I would say your problem is solved since no reply from yesterday?
Per my last post, I've switched ROMS. As it happened randomly before, I can only wait to see if it happens again. I will post back if it does.
And....as of tonight it happened again.
Note: Different ROM working since the last post 9-26-11.
ROM Taboonay 2.1
The only thing I can wonder about is if it happens when it tries to connect to a network that is actually down such that it cannot obtain an IP that actually gets internet access. However, it was "disabled" when I brought it up before ever trying to specifically reconnect to a network to realize the ISP wasn't doing their part.
Still....no reboots, or hardware resets have worked. I'm working on an image restore of only the system from the 9.25 install of the ROM rather than a factory data reset. Not sure if that would have been better. Trying to save some of what I've done recently. Gonna have to get used to a weekly backup if this is to continue.
Grrrrr..........restoring a backup turned out to be the last ROM. After reinstalling Taboonay 2.1, I still had all my apps and found the same problem. I'm doing a factory data reset as it's the only thing that fixed it before :-(
The only "oddity" I've experienced has been since last Thursday. The Android Market doesn't even recognize now that I have another device. Have communicated with them; they are investigating and saying they have received reports of this on free downloads giving an "unable to process purchase" message. It updates installed apps, but I cannot download any new ones through market, appbrain -even the appbrain app only and not to the market app. I can download through Amazon, so it's the Market issue. Still, that shouldn't affect this issue.
If you have any constructive feedback, I'd appreciate it!
This was happening to me. I had problems with every rom I tried until the following combo: Taboonay 2.2 with Richard's Villain ROM 3.7 kernel. Every other combo would lead to erratic wifi...now it hasn't happened in 2 days. I don't know why this is happening as many of the roms I tried claim to have the wifi fix integrated. I hope this helps. Just flash the latest Taboonay and then the kernel zip file on too of it. By the way, latest rabbinate is 2.2....NOT THE ONE YOU HAVE NOW.

hello xdadev,
i really need your help. I am a newbie in android world [just purchased my first android device] last month [samsung galaxy tab p6800]. since then, i was really excited to explore android world and its features where I was led to this site.
now, heres my problem: just this afternoon, at first, i used my wifi to access a shopping mall internet connection. but minutes after turning my wifi off, when i turned it on again to connect to another network, i was surprised that it wont start and when i open the settings menu, under it says error. im really worried.
had my unit restored to factory settings but still no changes. Rooted my galaxy tab but today, i unrooted it thinking that the rooting caused the trouble.
im also hoping to update my tab to ICS but with this problem, im really stuck! i dont know how to access my apps in the appstore.
is this a firmware error or a hardware problem? please help me. my tab helps me a lot.
thanks in advance. im willing to add some details if you could help me.:crying:
try to go back to the mall where it 1st connected, if it still doesn't connect, then use your warranty and ask for replacement.
7.7 is notorious for being a bit choosy when it comes to wifi, sometimes, it just stuck with "obtaining IP address" then will revert back to scanning.
I also encountered your error before, but I just simply turn the wifi on and off again
before going back to your retailer, try to totally deplete the battery first (it's like removing the battery) then charge your unit and try to connect again
good luck
the last thing i could remember was busybox got updated but failed to install. is there any possibility that the failure caused the problem?
nope

Ah, sorry, busybox could, and may very likely be the culprit! An older version did just that to my (I have the 6810), and a number of others, tabs.
This was for Stericson's version 8.0 and here was his reply to my email:
Sadly you fell prey to a bug that was in Version 8.0 of my installer. I fixed it in 8.1, but it seems many still got the bugged version.
To fix the issue, you need to reflash your current rom. You do not need to wipe or clear any data.
You can also look in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1691410&page=2
It has an update method that should fix your issues.
Again, I apologize for this error
Please let me know if you need anything else from me.
I did just that and reflashed my rom using Odin and then re-rooted. I haven't, since, re-installed Stericson's busybox although later versions supposedly fixed the problem. I see there has just been another update in the Play store.
Damn I got the same error today, also after a lot of updates came trough.
Still working on fixing it. Will restore backup first after full wipe..
EDIT : Ok just went to recovery via power+volume up , factory reset, a nandroid restore and wifi working again.
Phew.
Ah! Got my tab working again. Thanks guys for the link and comments. The (update. Zip), did fix the issue. Busybox related bug. Starting to re download my apps again since I got my tab data wiped. :-(

Not rooting my phone as of now. Will wait for the ICS first before rooting again. Tab is fully working already.
