[Q] Bricked WIFI module? - Galaxy Tab 7.7 General

Hard- and Software specifications:
Modelnumber: GT-P6800, bought in Austria
Android Version: 3.2
Baseband: P6800XXLA3
Kernel-Version: 2.6.36-P6800XXLA-CL614409 [email protected] #3 SMP PREEMPT Thu Jan 5
Buildnumber: HTJ85B.XXLA3 P6800XXLA3
History:
I successfully rooted my device with root_P6800_P6810.zip according to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21930246&postcount=7
In the following hours I installed, updated and used a couple of apps, among them LBE and Permissions Denied. I didn't do anything spectacular to the device IMO.
It's hard to remember, but I dare to day, that somehow Permissions Denied is involved in the "death" of the WIFI module, as it was one of the last actions on the device.
No matter how hard I try, it's no longer possible for me to receive any data over WLAN as well as GSM/3G.
It's however odd to see that the P6800 is still connected to my WLAN router and replies to PINGs.
Phone calls are still possible.
Measures I did so far:
At first I checked every possible setting that is associated with the device, WLAN and so on.
I did a factory reset through the corresponding phone code. No cure.
Having read numerous of threads and postings in XDA I successfully reverted back to P6800XXLA3_P6800OXALA3_ATO, most likely the firmware the P6800 came originally with, through Odin. But no cure for the WIFI module.
Strangely, I can still see an icon for "Superuser"(?)
I would be pleased if some kind soul could help me to get my device out of the state it is currently in.
Thanks.

You should try doing a factory reset (under settings->privacy). That's the reason that the Superuser app is still there, though it shouldn't work any more since you flashed a stock ROM. If it still doesn't work after that, you could try reflashing a stock ROM through Odin, but if your router is still seeing your tab, then it's probably not a hardware problem.

FULL wipe in CWM recovery, including System partition etc
Then immediately boot into download mode and flash your stock firmware.
Edit : if all good, root and reinstall CWM recovery again

Hi all, really need your help. 2 weeks ago I bought this device, before never used android. 3 days ago by connecting it to a computer, the Kies software has given the message

I tried to root device, did it as it was written on some site, after a Odin has finished, I found SuperSu program, but SuperSu wrote that the binary ihe s not installed, checking the Root, no root access. 2 Performed Data factory reset twice did not helped, Performed to flash again the latest official firmware, but also did not helped, the problem not solved, Uninstall SuperSu. no longer know how else to help themselves, need professional help.
Please write me what should i do? how can return the previously firmware, or how to root it correctly and install new Rom.

IMEI\BaseBand unknown

Hi,
I've got a Nexus 4 Device that has unknown IMEI and BaseBand, hence i can't connect to any mobile network.
the things i've tried to do:
1. Flash to factory image from google (tried several version 4.2/4.4) using ADB fastboot which ran succesful all the way, i just got stuck on the nexus logo when it tries to load ( and yes i tried to delete cache and wipe data before and afterwards, it doesn't work)
2. tried to install different types of radio images on the device regardless of Roms.
3. tried to install various custom roms.
Perhaps it's important to emphasis that, everytime after i tried to install an original google Rom (later than 4.2, my current) it just gets stuck on the nexus logo. BUT, awkwardly, when i install the 4.2 version it does manages to load it succesfully but then again, the IMEI is missing and so does the broadband.
I remember that, originally, this issue occured right after downloading and installing from Google Play store the Root explorer app, when I wasn't actually rooted. I'm not sure exactly how it damaged my deviced that badly, though i find it hard to believe it was the original reason. Rationally thinking, I simply shouldn't be able to access root files in the first place, not lose my IMEI.
*note - I've heard of a HW device called OctoplusBox, that can rewrite the IMEI, though im not sure if even that could help since the baseband is also lost, I may need an expert on this.
i'll do my best to fill in everything i've got right here:
Current version: 4.2.2
Model Number: Nexus 4
Kernel Version: 3.4.0-perf-g7ce11cd android [email protected] #1
Build number: JDQ39
*in the "Status", everything including IMEI/svIMEI/broadband is all unknown.
Thanks in advance,
Let me know if your in a need of any additional information regarding the device.

[Q] ATT S4 4.4.2 WiFi not working - Please Help

Hey, I have a Galaxy S4 that I recently bought. It was rooted on 4.4.2, but the wifi was not working. I just used Odin and flashed the 4.4.2 stock rom onto it. That worked, and now the phone is on stock, and it looks like the root is gone. The issue is, the wifi still doesn't work. The light is light-green from the notifications bar, and when I press on, it stays gray, and goes to off in around 15-20 seconds. I have tried to:
-Restart
-Factory reset
-Remove battery when phone is still on
- Turn power saver off/on via *#0011#
- Delete Wcf CONFIG file (not sure if right name) from the root explorer /data/etc/misc/wifi when it was still rooted
I really appreciate you reading this and trying to help me. I bought this phone last weekend to gift to someone for their birthday (on Monday), and it will make a horrible gift if there is no wifi.
I'm thinking the issue has to be: either the Modem is missing, and wasn't included in the flash of the original stock rom, and now I need to flash that also, but I don't know where to get that for my model.
The second thing I can think of is that it is a hardware issue, but I don't think that's the issue. I've heard of a lot of people having the same type of problem when rooting, but they usually get it fixed by one of the steps mentioned above.
Phone info:
Model: SGH i337

I really appreciate it.
If you flashed the nb1 tar with Odin, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50912149, Wi-Fi should be working. If it isn't it probably is hardware. You will lose root flashing the stock firmware so that's normal.

Oh ok. I was afraid it might end up being hardware. Thanks for confirming.

[Q]SOLVED Noob GT-I9505 WIFI dead after upgrd 4.4.2 searched and tried all solutions

First of all please forgive me for opening yet another S4 wifi problem after kitkat upgrade, but I have tried everything I could possibly find here, on youtube and other forums. The only thing left to try is flash the modem but I'd rather ask before I brick my phone
I'm not quite sure if this is the same issue every single time or if in my case it is due to my ignorance and errors. I was an iphone/unlock/jailbreak user until last year so please bear with me. Android is new and fun (but scary) territory to me.
Situation, what I did and possible mistakes on my side:
-I'm in Spain but I bought my factory unlocked phone on amazon and it was for the Polish market (GT-I9505 Black, 16 Gb)
-My device was rooted don't even remember how I did it last year so no useful info on that side a part of using odin for windows.
- Until yesterday I was on jellybean, not quite sure if 4.2.2 or 4.3
- Yesterday I upgraded to 4.4.2 via mobile odin and yes I checked the boxes about clearing/deleting cache or whatever it's called.
- Used a stock firmware downloaded from other site (that one starting with "S" and with a great amount of firmwares for samsung devices of several countries)
- I chose a firmware randomly (maybe this was my mistake) because I hade read that the firmware was not that important and people where usimg leaked german firmwares on on phones from elsewhere. But I did choose one that matched the country of my phone (XEO/XX Poland)
- Everything is working fine but without wifi I'm buying new Mb bundles almost every 2 hours and I'll be broke very soon
If you guys think the solution is flashing the modem which file should I use? I see lots of them with different models/codes and I'm completely lost and have read a lot about messing with bootloaders/modems etc bricking devices so I'm freaking scared and ask for your charitative help!
All the info I could gather about my device right now (now I know I should have gathered this info also before attempting to upgrade but it's too late now!

* Quick solution for recover WIFI:
1. Reflash the STOCK I9505XXUGNG8 (XEO) firmware via ODIN.
2. Let the process finish and reboot normally.
3. Dial *#1234# and have to appear this:

CSC: I9505YXZGNH2
4. Reflash again if not. Good luck
Thank you so much for your helpful reply Joku1981 !!!!! You made my day!!!
Can I do that with Mobile Odin??? My PC broke (Graphics card burnt) and until a couple of months won't be able to buy a new one.
To make sure I understand you: You mean Flash again the same firmware I used to upgrade to 4.4.2 in the first place?
I used this Firmware: I9505XXUGNG8_I9505YXZGNH2_XEO
should I try Flashing that same Stock Firmware again? and if does not work keep reflashing until the baseband and the bootloader get updated?
Why did they not update ? is this common or an error on my side???
I hope it can be done with mobile Odin since I can keep my root status, If I have to do it in Desktop Odin do I have to Re-Root after flashing???
Thank you so much for you kind help!!!!!!

SOLVED!!!!!
After nobody answered if I could use again "mobile Odin" to flash once more and try to fix my wifi not working I opened mobile odin and it gave me a warning about my version and having a wrong bootloader as a possibility of soft bricking my phone so I decided to stay away of mobile Odin this time.
I used desktop Odin (at work since my pc broke) and exactly the same firmware file downloaded from sammobile (but re-downloaded it just in case) and had to flash twice, the first time it went through the whole process ok right until the end where it showed the FAIL message.
I didn't know if I should turn off the phone stuck in download mode and with the process bar at 100 % or retry flashing without turning it off. So I decided not to turn it off (afraid it would get soft bricked or something). I closed mobile Odin but left phone On with download mode screen active and opened mobile Odin again got the "added"message and the blue color showing it was properly connected to the phone and started flashing process again....
I started getting red error messages saying the progress bar display was wrong (and it wasn't updating/kept stuck in the previous 100%) but after it finished it was flashed and everything was ok. WIFI WORKED!!!!!!
Now the weird part.....in case this happens /helps someone else:
- My phone DID NOT get wiped. My launcher and my apps stayed intact (I thought flashing even the same firmware always wiped data, I'm I wrong???)
- All my root apps (root explorer, titanium backup, so on and so forth) where there and working fine. One root checker stated I was rooted and another one stated I wasn't but even my launcher (nova) was working just as if I never flashed the phone.
- Since I was unsure of my "root" state and I did not have "supersu" app in my apps drawer I tried installing it via playstore but It always gave an error message (the application could not be installed in the default location)
- I rooted again just in case and the root process finished without errors but still I had no "supersu" app and one root checker said I was rooted and the other I wasn't. Tried installing "supersu" from the playstore but same error and could not get installed.
- I searched here and in other forums for similar problems/solutions but nothing worked until I tried several things that fixed the problem. Not really sure which fixed it so I will write them down in the order I did them:
1. Opened folder mount which I already had installed and it gave me an error and asked me to try the fix which I did.
2. Opened linked2sd which I already had installed also previous to the firmware flash. It gave me an error and asked me which was the partition to use (as when I first installed it) in my case it was ext4. And it seemed to start working as it normally does. No further error when reopening it.
3. Rebooted the phone and tried entering recovery mode to wipe cache etc but It never entered recovery mode. I get the message about going into recovery mode (top left corner small red letters) But right after that it reboots and I get the samsung logo and my home screen.
4. Tried reinstalling supersu again and no success. (By the way before I did all this steps I tried rooting again but got to the same point. No supersu on my apps drawer)
5. Downloaded BusyBox install (opened it but did not use it in any way, maybe something in the installation fixed my problem)
6. Opened mobile Odin just for curiosity sake and it opened fine and asked for downloading of the extra stuff as when I installed it the first time. After that I closed it
7. Rebooted normally (no recovery mode since I'm stuck without it)
8. Tried installing "supersu" and NOW it worked!!!
9. Checked in both root checker apps and both confirm I'm rooted and supersu started asking for granting permissions to apps again as it normally does!
10. Everytime I attempted flash, root, and even after some reboots I took the battery off (since I read in several threads it helped/was mandatory)
Conclusion now my WIFI problem is fixed, my root problem (that appeared doing the reflash for fixing my wifi problem) is also fixed. The only thing I could not fix is not being able to get into recovery mode.
Does anyone know a solution for recovering the ability to get into recovery mode????
Thanks to Joku for lighting me into re flashing once and again until my wifi was fixed!
