Hello everyone, this post is for people who have wifi issues like i do.. i flashed the final release of AP4 and i cant start wifi, any solution yet? i even reflashed again just to make sure its not some glitch while flashing. i know in the maual it says to refer to the thread about it.. i couldn't find anyone complaining yet. Maybe there aren't many of us who flashed ap4 already. just a note to all people who haven't flashed yet, i tried to flash on vista 64 twice and it failed so save yourself the trouble and try another operating system such as the reliable xp!
They have a solution, the solution for the alpha had to be made for each user. I imagine it is the same here, one of the team members should be able to fix it for you.
thanks master, ill wait for someone to help me through mine.. so its a fixable thing , i don't have to hard reset anymore, can i continue and customize my device ? the wait for the solution?
No wifi

Same here, I'm also unable to start wifi in the comm manager.

you need to see olinex,
but they may ask for a donation to fix it.... they were asking for one fom those who flashed the leaked version and got ****ed up
i think its a special file you run on your phone to fix it
well, I thought the issue was fixed in final flasher - apparently not, but we think we know how to make a permanent fix for it. seems to be issue mostly on vista, but the real cause isn't vista itself. watch this space
until then I strongly recommend that you use XP to flash AP4.
and no, no donations are required, not your fault for flashing the officially announced release. of course they are always welcome

Thanks for the Rom.
I am also having wifi issue and I flashed the rom using XP. The issue is it will not turn on at all in comm manager. I can click the 'on' button but after a few seconds it jumps back to off.
No biggie I will wait till there is a solution.
Again thanks for the rom.
I reflash my rom to ap3 and repair wife,wifi turn on OK, and reflash ap4 ,but wifi not turn on.
samething happen..
the rest are awsome
There will be new support added soon to assist the AP team in fixing WiFi problems, and yes it requires a custom file to be prepared for each device. You MUST HAVE your original MAC address available to receive the AP4 fix. On many devices this is listed on the Battery door. Others of you may have this stored in the address table of your access point or WiFi router's MAC table.
I just read (above) that someone has flashed back to the modified AP3 and their WiFi worked there. If this is true, then the worst case if you can't find your MAC is to flash the modified AP3, write down your MAC then reflash to AP4 and get the fix. I have not personally tested this as I do not have the WiFi problem at present.
IF you have your MAC address and you are waiting for the customized file to fix you AP4 Wifi, send me a PM with your information and I will begin a first come, first serve queue for getting your AP4 fixed. You will need MTTY to apply the fix, so if you don't have that or you don't know about it, you can read up on it in the mean time. regards, raskell

You should edit your post immediately and DO NOT POST your MAC addresses here. Only send this information using the PM (private messages). Click on my name and select the option to send a private message. This is the only way please.

So you have WiFi problems, I did so read on.
Here is a quick guide to the WiFi not working, learnt from someone who's been there himself!
Your WiFi doesn't work normally because there was a problem Flashing to AP 4.0. Mine went wrong as I still had my memory card in while trying to flash to AP 4.0 beta (authorised! not the leaked issue), and after another attempt at flashing, then going back to AP 3.0 and then back up to AP 4.0 again I got it on but no WiFi. So what you need is a file from cmonex that she makes personally from your MAC address, you then use this with mtty to set up wifi again. It is quite a simple thing to do, BUT you have to have your MAC code first before even contacting cmonex. It should be inside the door of the battery lid, if not I, understand you could use a MAC address from anything else YOU own with WiFi. I think it would also be a help if you had mtty ready as well, then you would be set up to go.
Please remember that it is not cmonex's fault your WiFi don't work, A text book flash WILL leave you with a working WiFi, so be ready to donate a little to her for her help, its only fair I think. let me know if you have any other questions and I will try to help within the limits of my knowledge on this problem. I can't help with any MAC bin files, sorry!
All the best

Help NOW for AP4 broken WiFi
I can now assist you if your WiFi failed to start after installing AP4. You must have the NEW SPL, working AP4 and your original MAC address. Send me your MAC in a PM (Private Message) and I will make you a correction file specific to your MAC address. I need an e-mail address to send you the file. DO NOT PASS on the file or the fix instructions as they are custom to your device, and believe me you do not want 100's of people around the world using your MAC addess. I keep a log and a copy of each file created and will be happy to assist you on a first come first serve basis.
I am doing this to assist the AP4 team, with their permission, so that they can attend to more pressing issues. We want your devices to be fixed and for you to be satisfied with AP4.
Kind Regards,
Raskell
p.s. - I am in (GMT-5) so support will be based around reasonable hours (for me) - I will do the best I can given that I am only one person
Thats what I wanted to do but didn't have the right software so, well done Raskell.

if they don't have the original mac anymore, then it is fine if it is just some unique enough MAC, ask them to provide another device's mac address that they have, then edit that address a bit.

no, that was probably a misunderstanding. flashing to AP3 will not solve the wifi issue.

Hello, I'm having an issue, I'm rooted with the nand unlock method. I was on flipz .1d but have now moved to .2. I've had this issue a number of times now specificly the "unable to turn on" which seems to be caused by the owner of the /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf file changing to root. but I am not sure what causes the unable to scan for networks to happen.
Some of the things I have done that seem to be a part of the cause: I ran flipz vanilla lock screen fix and I team douche menu unlock, both seem to make changes to /system/framework/
anyone that might know where to look to fix the scan issue? I've searched the forum and have seen a few people have the problem but no solutions yet.
Was having the same problem (came across your post from a Google search).
I got a hint from code.google.com (can't post the link). I renamed the /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf to /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.bak (rather than delete it), rebooted and all is well.
Seems you can just delete the file, and it'll be respawned on a reboot.
I am having this problem, but on a vibrant that has not been rooted yet.
I cant seem to find the wpa_supplicant.conf, I have tried browsing for it using the built in file manager and using ASTRO, but the data directory is always empty.
Is there a way to fix this without rooting the phone?
if your phone has not been rooted then that means your phone is f**ked up and might need to be exchanged. but this is the evo forum not vibrant. the only way to mess with system files is to be rooted
Appreciate info*, worked in a heartbeat, saved from reloading everything from scratch, which was my way out last time. Witstech A81E Froyo 2.2
*renamed the /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf to /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.bak
Good eye there mate!!!!

It just recreates the file when your phone gets rebooted. My Thunderbolt is having the EXACT same issue. Ive tried renaming this and deleting as well and still no luck. Im now kicking over any rocks that I can find to get my wifi working.
I have exactly the same problem.
With Root Explorer deleted the file 'wpa_supplicant.conf' but no changes.
WiFi starts up and closes down again with the famous line: "unable to scan for networks"
anyone?

I had the same problem. I installed the software from the sony erikcon website to my computer, and then followed the process for updating the phone software. That did not work, since I had the latest software already. So then, I tried to REPAIR my phone software, and after that was done, my phone was functional again, and the wifi works without any problems.
Requirements:
* A PC connected to the Internet (preferably broadband)
* USB phone-to-PC connection. Please see the accessories compatibility list for your phone.
1. Run the software on the computer after it is installed.
2. Follow the procedure for UPDATE or REPAIR (if you already have the latest version).

People still use this phone?
I want to know have can i solve my wifi problems without installing new rom on it.
What is the wireless driver, where are they in my system files?
We can fix the camera issues with changing camera lib files. Can i do that for wifi?
Wifi Problem is ;
I can connect wifi, first it was work fine. After several minutes it dropped and not connect any internet, after several seconds it reconnectted. It always keep going this way.
Can you please help me on this?
What ROM version are you running?
B137 stock and modaco.com/content/huawei-u8800-ideos-x5-u8800-modaco-com/342205/23-june-b137-r3-flb-custom-rom-for-the-huawei-u8800-with-online-kitchen/
I have two of them on my clockwork recovery. Both of them have same issue. I want to try other roms, but its too hard for me to give the time for each rom. So i want to try other roms wifi libs, driver, firmwares.
Not a fan of 137s I've tried so far...You should try these versions:
- V100R001C00B136 (Overseas General version) 2011-05-17
- V100R001C17B160CUSTC17D002 (China Unicom) 2011-04-29
http://wiki.modaco.com/index.php/Huawei_Firmware_U8800
To install any of the ROMs, just download the Huawei Firmware you want and unzip it, there should be a folder called "dload" copy that folder and its contents to your sdcard.
Power off phone then hold both volume buttons while powering on the phone, the update should start.
I don't understand why you think it's easier to change a lib/driver and spend a huge amount of time trying to get it to work, when it takes 30 minutes to install a new ROM and all previous applications, if synced with a Google account. When I first got the phone, I've installed like 6-7 ROMs in a matter of hours...
So, in my opinion, you should try the B160 or B136 before you actually start fiddling around with libs.

Are you read my first post ? I Don'T want to try roms. Install new rom, try wifi, over and over. End when find it, wait for the all install downloaded. Chancge launcher and other apps to what you want. It is just boring. I try 4 different froyo roms and nothing seems worked. If i know the what file i must replace, i just have time. Many many more time.

) I've read your post, but if you think this is windows, where you can just change the wifi drivers, you're in for a treat . The newer ROMs wifi is fine, so whatever you're doing, you're obviously not doing it right or you have a faulty phone.

I don't understand a thing from your post. Are you understand me?
IF IS A WINDOWS, I CAN CHANGE DRIVER FROM SYSTEM32/DRIVERS. Or install new driver for it. Newer roms are for WHO ? Mine and other my friends in turkey, have same problem. Even they updated the B137 with updata.app from original sources.
Please if you don't know or understand my post, just leave it to be. Obviosly i can't decribe my problem to you.
The whole windows thing was a comparison...All I was trying to say is that upgrading drivers is NOT EASY, as the problem may not be in the lib file.
You better go and learn some ENGLISH, before you try and understand the answers you're given. ) quote "Are you understand me?"
Very very few people have wifi problems like you are experiencing. This isn't to say it doesn't happen as obviously you are having issues, but it's not a rom issues. It's likely that your problem is either a hardware issue with the phone or an issue with your router settings.
Currently there aren't any alternative wifi libs you can try since all the roms are using exactly the same wifi libs which are located in the kernel image, not the system.
I've been experiencing the same problem -international B136 ROM- however I think it may be the router that is the cause of it. Whilst in the main house with the new wireless g router, no issues, everything works fine. In my extension with the old wireless b router the problem happens all the time.
The problem doesn't really bother me to much, but I thought I'd add my 2 cents just in case you were after some more information on the issue =)
guys, I recommend reading my post in the general section with subject "Wifi Client Tuning ... solve connection problem "

Definitely, if you've got something like B133, the first thing you have to do is upgrade to 136-137 or 160. You will see huge improvements in terms of Wifi.
is there any problem in b136 or b160? Which one should i apply?
In my view, the best of stock ROMs is B160. The battery lasts longer and it's got less problems.
how can i see my rom version? and do u send offical b160's link?
Go to Settings >>About Phone and scroll down to Build Number. It should look like this U8800V100R001C00B133SP01 and the bit that interests you is B133 or whatever version you've got.
Since Modaco Wiki is down, try this link:
http://www.filefactory.com/f/0f067250fb54623e/
B160 is called China Unicom in that list.
I've managed to get a cached version of Modaco Wiki that is currently down.

well hello everyone im not sure if this should go here but i found this and noticed it worked right away and i did not find this so thanks to who ever did and thank you so much :laugh:
1st: you will need cm 6.1.1 and the latest cm7 get them here ----> download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=espresso
2ed: Open both cm6.1.1 and cm7 then in Cm6.1.1 find system folder click it, then find etc click it, then find wifi click it then find tiwlan.ini
3ed: Replace your Cm7 tiwlan.ini with Cm6.1.1 tiwlan.ini
4th: Your Cm7's tiwlan.ini should have these numbers Size - 11,232 and Packed - 3,609 make sure its still in zip format
5th: put the fixed cm7 on your root of sd card and then boot in to your recovery make sure you do a back up if you dont have one already
6th: wipe data then go to advance the wipe dalvk cache <----- or how ever you spell it lol
7th: then flash the new cm7 with the wifi fix then reboot and this worked for me
ITS NOT MY FALUT IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE IN ANY SHAPE OR FORM lol
and if it gets to hard for some people i might be able to post the cm7 with the wifi fix but just maybe lol
Shorty, it would be great if you are able to post the cm7 with the fix. i am currently on holiday's and my wifi has all of a sudden decided to act up. I have the CM7 07032011 nightly which was working great, out of the blue it just started to randomly work.
I know the instructions are simply (detailed for noobs which is great) but being on vacation it makes it a bit hard to do so.
Cheers!
cm7 with the wifi fix
well i understand how that is and i hope you are haveing fun on your va-k but here it is its cm7.2.0 and so you know i will have a cm7 build up soon that will look like ics
go to this site -------> http://www.4shared.com/zip/3zVciXz5/cm-720-espresso.html?refurl=d1url

This time, it asked me to register. So I have just registered and downloaded the file w/o a problem. Thanks for that
So I basically follow the above instructions to swap roms right? I changed roms a year ago and it was pretty easy as I just chose CM7 from Rom Manager lol I can't remember exactly how to do it manually

from step 5 to 7 and make sure you have a backup
I am relatively new here, but was reading some threads and a couple people have said that the community hasn't found the 13.3.2.7 update to manually force a rollback. A couple days ago I called Amazon because I had updated to 4.5 and needed to go back to root.
Since then I have been looking around for where the patch was saved to and found the scripts that setup for the OS update and the scripts to run it. The scripts show where it is and what commands are called to do the update, but the actual 13.3.2.7 OS seems to be hidden. I know where it says it should be, but its hidden somehow. If this is something anyone wants copies of my files on let me know, if this isn't something the community needs I apologize, just trying to help get this tablet further along.
Either post here or message me if you want/need what I have.
Why don't you just post your findings so far on this thread?
I was under the impression that OTA files are downloaded to the /cache folder, therefore inaccessible without root.
Either way, updates are still verified (see: /system/app/otaverifier.apk) by the system, so I'm not sure how you'd get around that.

I see, that part is already known then. Other posts I read people were still looking for it, but I was sure if i found it many others have too. I'm still looking around though, I found the verification coding also, thanks for that. I am thinking about updating my tablet again, and having them roll it back again, but this time running a packet sniffer. Might possibly get some really good info about the verification process or at least the steps it takes to make the rollback. I did a search but haven't seen anyone try this, it's probably heavily encoded though.
Another thing I noticed while looking around... They put a kill switch fuse in it? That's pretty rough, and what causes it to activate? Software modification or Hardware like Jtags?

once rooted again .it may be possible to modify your build.prop like we were on past firmware to achieve rollback just to initiate download ,it will ultimately fail once it downloaded it and trys to install it will check a few more things it will fail and erase it ...the trick would be not too let the device idle..or to have the battery below I believe 30 percent it may be as high as 40 I'm not sure but I believe under 30 it will refuse to install update delay till charged ,anyway it may buy you time to find it

That is actually a very good idea, something I am testing right now is getting the FireOS to run in VMware. I have a standard Android KitKat OS running, but getting the Kindle's OS to run is giving me a few issues. I am very skittish to try this stuff on my actual device as it's brand new and I don't have a backup... But if I can I will give you idea a shot. Might be able to save it before it deletes. Also if I can get it going in VMware it might be possible to use a debugger to examine the ASM code in great detail.

I didn't have any problem doing the modifications myself and I'm no Pro that's for sure. Never written a line of code in my life. I just tend to thoroughly research and understand before I attempt things and I've been practicing here for a while if you go to the, rollback .0.1 and safestraped thread there is quite detailed instructions serval times throughout the thread I would skim it.you will just be substituting version numbers and kind of a inverse idea compared to what we were doing there but it should accomplish it. I used rOM Toolbox lite I believe as an editor and saved each timeI didn't have any problems with the permissions getting screwed up while tampering with it rOM Toolbox took care of that issue. I have seen tons of people brick trying to make these modifications. But I don't think they understood completely what they were attempting to do it's actually very simple and as long as you do it thoroughly and get all of them changed I have not seen any problems other than maybe having to repeat the process.there are a couple of lines that only use the last section of your version numbers I even changed those back then.

I am relatively new here, but was reading some threads and a couple people have said that the community hasn't found the 13.3.2.7 update to manually force a rollback. A couple days ago I called Amazon because I had updated to 4.5 and needed to go back to root.
Since then I have been looking around for where the patch was saved to and found the scripts that setup for the OS update and the scripts to run it. The scripts show where it is and what commands are called to do the update, but the actual 13.3.2.7 OS seems to be hidden. I know where it says it should be, but its hidden somehow. If this is something anyone wants copies of my files on let me know, if this isn't something the community needs I apologize, just trying to help get this tablet further along.
Either post here or message me if you want/need what I have.

Please upload the file somewhere (preferably to mega). If it doesn't pass the version check we can use my hack to bypass it.
