Wi-Fi Drivers, libs

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.

bricked focus i917

I had a problem with Zune update of samsung focus i917and tried to restore as suggested. I got a bricked phone. I need to try downloading the following file: i917-Focus-firmware-UCJK2-ATT-USA.exe to try and get the phone to be updated and functioning, but I cannot find the file anywhere. XDA has some links for the file, but they have been hijacked by B...S websites. Does anyone know where to find the file? I have searched, but have gotten a bunch of websites that want you to download a bunch of crappy software, but never provide the actual file.
Bill

Please see my post here. I've just tested both mediafire and digzip (you just need to wait 30).

If you use the MediaFire links, be sure to download BOTH parts of the ROM you want. I had to break them into two pieces due to the limitations of MediaFire. Then Run the First part to extract the ROM files. Also, you may need the Samsung Drivers if you have not installed them previously. It is also included in that link.

Lost functionality - unable to register - no wifi

Hello, I have a B5510, and had managed to root and install link2sd to free up some space on my internal memory even though I had reduced the phone's applications to the "basic essential".
I noticed that even by moving apps with link2sd, the free internal space was not increasing and was getting an error with the dalvik-cache. I tried to move the dalvik-cache to the sdext2 partition since that is where link2sd was looking for it, however accidentally removed it. Unfortunately with it I must have removed also the links to the apps on the sd card and was left with only a handful of useless applications.
After trying to find a solution for that, it seemed that the only option I had was to do a factory reset, which I did. Despite having regained access of the google market application, I am unable to log onto the internet / wifi, and register my samsung phone. The phone seems to be continuously on standby at "obtaining ip address...". If I try to set a static ip, it seems like the device is connected to the wifi but it actually isn't, or at least, I can't register it to find out since my only application with access to the internet is google market.
I don't know whether the loss of functionality is due to having removed the dalvik-cache or some samsung related applications like samsung apps. In any, I wish I could find a way to restore my phone to what it was before. I thought that maybe I could flash cyanogenmod but didn't find a version for my phone. However I really don't wish to remove the stock OS and would like to restore it as is. Do you guys have any suggestions, experiences, or any helpful advice? I really don't know what to do. I asked for help to samsung but I don't know whether they'll help since the device is rooted.

My suggestion would be to use Odin to flash your original firmware onto your handset as per this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678568
If you cannot find the correct firmware in that thread (most likely as the files have not been converted it seems...huh!) then post in this thread and ask Doky73 very very nicely to convert the firmware files for you:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678568
You will need to know what firmware you are currently running - you can probably check yourself on sammobile to see if that is available, once you know the stock for your phone you can search google - it may already be out there converted and ready to go!
Once that is flashed delete everything off the SD card and format and repartition it again then start afresh - good luck! :good:

Hello stokey and thanks for your quick suggestion! I've been looking all over the website trying to understand and apparently the best solution would be to flash the firmware with odin 1.85.
I've found the details of my firmware being the Italy version:
Code:
HIDSWVER B5510XXLF3/B5510ITVLF1/B5510XILE1/B5510XXLF3
ANDROIDVERSION 2.3.6
BASEBANDVERSION B5510XILE1
KERNELVERSION 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #103
BUILDNUMBER GINGERBREAD.XXLF3
and it seems I also found a download from sampro.pl
I'm hoping this goes well because it seems like I've only managed to take the situation from bad to worse so far! If you have any experience with odin, do you believe the phone (wifi especially) should work correctly after flashing?

Ok, I've downloaded a stock firmware corresponding to my original IDs, split it up with Ordinatrix and flashed it with Odin and it worked! It's back as new! Thanks a lot stokey and everyone for your very helpful threads, I thought my phone was good as dead!!

Fix - Apps and websites not working after certificates expire

As identified in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65344931&postcount=10 lots of apps and websites have stopped working over the past year or so (depending maybe on your ROM). This has been traced to the root certificates (used to trust websites and set up secure ssl connctions) becoming out of date. Modern devices also have many more root certificates installed by default.
Note that this doesn't fix the google market on the nook touch, nor the kindle book store. It does fix the kindle app for syncing books purchased elsewhere.
I'll port the instructions over into this post later (see the link above for now). It requires root (so is slightly risky).
If you identify any more failing sites, please provide an https link which fails to open on the nook (but does work on a PC) and I'll add the root authority to my files. Anyone working on ROMs is welcome to redistribute my cacerts.bks

Aargh!

I've been using your updated cacerts.bks file and it is great. In January another certificate expired and I'm fairly confident it's the reason a news app (News Republic) started throwing up security certificate errors and refused to connect with the server. I think I need to be able to do the certificate updates, but I am trying to avoid going down the SDK road (a massive download I will never use for anything else) and all those complexities.
Except, nothing else seems to work. There is an ancient thread in which people discuss various ways to update pre-ICS cacerts. Unfortunately, none of them work--I've tried them all. The browser idea seems promising and Opera Mobile responds as described, but then nothing happens to the cacerts.bks file.
Portecle looks really promising (images below). It can obviously open and inspect the cacerts.bks file (password: changeit). It shows the additions you made and also indicates the expired certificate.
So I went searching for a replacement and found something that seems like the right thing (attached as a zip). It imported easily into Portecle and then appeared along with the new ones you added.
Then I returned the file to the NST and made the permissions the same as the old file. A reboot put me in a loop out of which I just barely managed to recover by inserting my NookManager card at just the right moment.
So I don't get it. The bouncycastle files recommended in the CAcerts wiki for this task are too old to be available. Surprise.
I'm tempted to NOT fix the permissions on the cacerts.bks file when I return it to the NST because I once had a similar problem with a settings.db file and it turned out that restoring the "correct" permissions resulted in a bootloop while leaving them as they were when the file was copied back made it all work just fine. But I'm too timid to try that just now.
Any insights?

From my linked thread,
Download http://www.bouncycastle.org/download...dk15on-146.jar - this is used locally on your PC to manipulate the certificates and needs to be version 146 or 147 to work with android (or old android at least)

It seems that when I used a different version, I got a bootloop. Although the link I referenced seems to have died, the filename still turns up plenty of hits. http://polydistortion.net/bc/download/ for example (version 1.47).
I agree its a lot of pain, and I'm not sure I still have the toolchain download that I used for this work. I'll have a dig around...

Yipes. Well, I downloaded the jar file (many thanks...I did search on the file name and came up empty) and followed your example on the other thread. Everything behaved as it should. Except for the boot loop....... This time it was even harder to get out of it.
Two possibilities come to mind. My JDK is 1.8.0_73. Maybe that's too new to work properly. The other is that the certificate, despite playing nicely as far as console feedback went, is of the wrong format, although this does not show up in the feedback or in Portecle.
Anyway, I'm sufficiently intimidated now that I'm not going back there unless I have a better way of getting out of boot loops (since I'm doing ADB over Wi-Fi).
Edit: temptation... So I went back to the CAcerts Wiki and noticed they suggest Java 6. Now, of course, the Wiki is old, but so is the Java underlying the NST, so I found an install of Java 6 and put it on the laptop we have attached to the TV (which runs Kodi and very little else). Then I repeated the entire procedure with--supposedly--all the right components. Same dreaded bootloop. So either the certificate I have has an incompatible format, or I am just hopeless at this. Maybe both

all of the old bouncy castle api releases are archived on their ftp server under ftp://ftp.bouncycastle.org/pub. i managed to find the .jar files referenced in the other thread on there and updated my cacerts.bks using the cacerts wiki instructions a few days ago. hope it helps you. using the newer release gave me a bootloop as well, but once i grabbed the older version from their ftp all was good!

Which java version were you running?
Edit: Hmm....I'm not having any luck with the link you provided. Using an FTP client I am asked for a logon and in my browser (Firefox) it never connects.

Here we go: http://www.bouncycastle.org/archive/
Remains to be seen if that will do the trick for me...

the bootloop version was whatever bouncycastle.org has as their latest release.
the one i downloaded from the ftp that didn't bootloop was this one: bcprov-jdk16-146.jar
you'll need to ftp in and use the password "anonymous" and some bogus email to get onto the ftp. from that web version of the archive it should be this package: http://www.bouncycastle.org/archive/146/bcprov-jdk16-146.tar.gz
i'm running mac, so my default java was 1.6. i updated to 1.8 but that happened after i got this all up and running already. this was the version that was default:
$ /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Commands/java -version
java version "1.6.0_65"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_65-b14-468-11M4833)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.65-b04-468, mixed mode)
so jdk 1.6 + API 146 (or 147?) seems to be the proper mix.
at first i thought it wasn't working, because although i updated the cacerts.bks, the amazon kindle app kept saying "incorrect email/password". took me a while before i read the entire thread and realized that amazon now does two-step authentication so i had to enter the one time passcode they had sent to my email.

Well....progress, or at least I think so. This may be an easier method.
Go to http://www.bouncycastle.org/archive/ and download bcprov-jdk15on-146.jar
Go to https://sourceforge.net/projects/portecle/ and download potecle (an executable jar)
Unzip portecle. Rename the bcprov-jdk15on-146.jar to simply bcprov.jar and copy that into the unzipped portecle folder (overwrite the newer version already present).
To run portecle, just double-click on portecle.jar. You will get a statement about the 146 file being out of date, resulting in not everything working, but enough works for our purposes.
Copy cacerts.bks from your NST (system/etc/security) to your PC, open portecle and import your cacerts file (password is "changeit"). You now have a nice graphical interface for perusing and updating your certificates! If you have a *.cer certificate to update, rename the "cer" to "crt" and use the import function. It's really that simple. I tried it, copied the file back onto my NST, fixed the permissions and.......{drumroll}.......no bootloop I'm running jdk 1.8.x
That's the good news. The bad news is that I did not succeed in updating the entrust certificate. I added three from their website and while they did not break cacerts, they did not restore functionality to NewsRepublic, which is what I was hoping to do
So....this may work. It's certainly easy, but clearly you need to have the correct updated certificate to get the desired result. Duh.
Edit: OK, it's ALL bad news
Don't do any of this. It seems to go OK but yesterday I found I could not successfully open the NPR app. I thought, "well, another one bites the dust", but I was curious so I used SearchMarket to see if the app was still listed for the NST. It was. So maybe it got corrupted somehow? Anyway, I uninstalled it and was going to reinstall from the Market but suddenly I got messages about the download failing. Oh no, not another function going south?!
Well, it's all fine, but the problem was the cacerts.bks file that I had made using the method above. Although there is no bootloop on restart, there is bad ju-ju nonetheless. Restoring my backup of cacerts.bks fixed NPR and SearchMarket. So....don't go there (and the two people who thanked me, feel free to unthank me )

Any official site for OEM ROMs?

Hi.
I cant to find any trustworthy source for downloading OEM ROMs. Could anyone help me with it? When I google it I found http://rootmygalaxy.net/download-install-stock-firmware-on-samsung-galaxy-s7-sm-g930f/ which points to sammobile.com which asks money for premium download and non-paid download takes forever.
Then I also found http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-G935F which seems legit - even the domain name is samsung-updates but for some reason it points to suspicious sites such as http://rapidgator.net or https://alfafile.net/ which also have very long (4 hours) download time for non-premium members.
Other thing is also that since those ROMs dont come from samsung's website I dont even know if I can trust them or not. Could anyone help me with getting trustworthy OEM ROM?
Edit: one more question: I have G935F. What makes G930F ROM different?

DO NOT flash a G930F ROM on your phone. Only G935F ones.
G935F is the S7 Edge.
G930F is the flat S7 (non-edge) model.
As for a reliable source of firmwares, see here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647

Kies
I would suggest using kies
Just download the programme
Put ur phone in download mode and connect it to pc
In kies > tools > firmware upgrade and initialization
Then u have to enter device id and then serial no which can be found in device settings
It will download and install the correct and latest firmware for ur device

Updato works for me

Tsar3000's Android File Host page has pretty much a crap ton of firmware available. Scroll to the bottom to find G935F/T/W8 variants, just pick yours, download and flash through Odin!

Kies doesn't work on the S7 you need to use smart switch.

Note : download in android device or linux pc. Windows pc downloads some creepy 2MB downloaders.

Well my actual intent is to get exact same OEM android ROM running on my PC, so that I could playwith different stuff and see what happens. So the idea would be to have it running in qemu and then only do tweaks to my phone that doesnt break android that is running on qemu. Like for example if removing some bloatware causes it not to boot anymore, then it would become evident in qemu I think, and then I would know better waht I can and cant do with my real phone.

Download BK package disabler Pro from the playstore, it will tell you what is safe to disable / remove ie bloatware etc and whats not.
3 lists are available in the app, installed, bloatware and system, even item in the system menu some items can be disabled, its pretty obvious what can be immediately disabled in the system menu like CNN News etc, some other things take a bit more study, although the app will advise you don't touch anything in there, it didn't stop me.

Tnx.
Having a virtual machine of that ROM would let learn me much more. This app thing was just one example. With VM I could try out other ideas as well.

edit: delete this

I always use Sammobile, I do not wanna pay so downloading a firmware takes around 3 hours.
