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 actually ended up having to get a whole new phone. My insurance company couldnt fix it.

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?
Ever since the first froyo rom until now (currently running Nero 4.1), Fix Permissions in Rom Manager and ClockworkMod Recovery has been rendered useless. It simply starts for a second then ends right after, and permissions remain unfixed. Is this a problem due to lack of source from samsung or is this a bug that has not been detected by devs, either way if its solvable I think its a minor bug that should have some attention and maybe a fix.
Thank You!
I thought I had read something about having the proper busybox installed, but I have changed mine and can't seem to get it to work ether. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled RM.
No need for a think tank. There is already a solution.
Apparently the script in Clockwork is looking for a file in the wrong place. You can change the script or you can copy and move the file it's looking for. Either one will work. I am unsure if Koush has been contacted about this issue.
Check out this thread. I use the solution in post #3 and it works fine.
Also, if you feel as though someone is being rude, just ignore it and report the post. The mods act quickly as soon as something is brought to their attention.
-thanks for your suggestion...worked great.

I'm trying to follow these directions... but I'm not sure where to get the packages.xml file.
Can someone please show me?
jnagar said:
Thank you--if it helps, I simply copied the packages.xml file into /data/system/ in order to run fix_permissions, and then just deleted the .xml file.
A temporary fix, yes, but I was just trying to fix a specific problem with ending phone calls causing an FC (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9943863#post9943863).

rogue sound files
I wonder if permissions will fix the rogue sound files in my player?
Does anyone know if the fix permissions issue is limited to Rom Manager or if all other applications doing the same thing are affected? I tried using the "Root Tools" app to fix permissions, but it looks to be doing the same thing that occurs in rom manager.

Also, downloads for Dexter's mods have historically been buggy for many users. The file you download (through 1.3) should be around 100MB. The exact size varies between versions. If the above suggestions don't work for you, try downloading the file again.
If you still have issues with the downloaded file, other users have found download success by using a browser download plugin called flashgot. It only works with Firefox and Thunderbird though.
http://flashgot.net/
I had an issue with the download with similar results to yours. My download was only about 63K whem it should of been a little over 100MB.
I had to start down loading the 1.2 update, that would start to download the whole 1.2 file. I'd cancel the download then download 1.3. For some reason after that it downloaded the complete 1.3 update file and I was able do the update.
So, check your downloaded file size and see if that's you issue. Also make sure you rename it Update with a capitol "U".
how long does the download take? i followed the instructions and my screen went to a picture of an android? and a box and stayed that way.

Did you boot into recovery (1. by turning off the unit, then power it on by holding the power button for a second, release, and then hold again until the recovery menu pops up), or did you use the settings menu to run the Update file (2. Open Settings > About device > System updates > Update device)?
If you did option 1, the soft keys on the side of the tablet allow you to navigate from the image you reference (android robot & box):
Search Key = Up
Back Key = Down
Home Key = Menu
Menu Key = Select
When you see the robot, press the Home key to take you to the update menu. Navigate the menu to clear your cache. After the cache wipe is complete, select the option to install Update.zip. Give it about 10min to run through the update, and it should reboot. If it reboots into an Elocity Logo loop, long press the power key until it shuts down. Your next boot should take you into a properly functioning tablet. Depending on the version of the OS you currently have installed, the update may retain your current apps and settings.
I haven't tried option 2 in a while, but it should do everything for you automatically - but it will probably factory reset the tablet and you'll lose any previously installed apps.
thanks. Did not know this when i posted found out byaccident when wipinfg off fingerprints. Wish they sent directions with the A7.

NP. Did exactly the same thing back in December.
if you have not solved your issue I believe I had simular problem. the file when you download is already a .zip file. So when you rename it just rename it "Update"
Another newbie here with a question.
My new A7 is due to be delivered tomorrow.
From what I have gathered so far from this board is that the Dexter Mod allows you to get apps from google marketplace, correct?
I am not sure which version of firmware will come on the A7 but I am going to assume that it will not be the latest one released in February.
My question is should I do the firmware update first, and then download and install the Dexter Mod?
Thanks in advance.

Dexter's mods have all been based on firmware updates from Elocity. He has kindly added market functionality and fixed a few bugs. I don't see any value in updating with Elocity's firmware prior to installing Dexter's latest.
As the other poster said there is no need for the elocity 7 update but if I were youI would keep it handy. I had a problem with the mod and had to reset the device with the old firmware. Also it seems a weird problem with android reading the file as when reading in astro the upddate.zip looked like update.zip.zip. w
Wierd.
So you just write update i dont even capitalize it.
Also want to add as newbie to andrid as well and it makes a huge difference in performance too. Think it is fast now when you put the mod it seemed to increase overall performance for me which I did not expect.
Good luck

That is not an android problem. That is what happens when windows explorer is set to hide known file extensions and people dont think when remaming things.
Please do not insult people because we lack knowledge which is why we are here to figure out what is going on. I had no idea windows explorer was set to hide file extensions. I never set it that way nor was i ever told before now. Now that I know i can do something but I was thinking, maybe i do not know what i am doing but you could offer help without making me feel like an idiot.

So it is not OK for me to point out an obvious mistake (seriously, this one is like calling grass purple). BUT it is perfectly fine for you to assume that it is a "problem with android" and disseminate misinformation like its your job.
Yup, I am obviously in the wrong.
It is obvious to you. I made a mistake and never said I was an expert and pointed that out in my response by saying I was a newbie too and this was what happened to me and my best guess was what I said. I never said I knew it was an andriod glitch but because I had no other idea until someone like you with more knowledge chimmed in.
All I am saying is you could have corrected me as a newbie with a sense of friendship and not superiority. I was sharing my experience to help someone else. That is all I want to do. I am no expert and am learning as I go.
I have seen others in linux forums when i started with that with the tone. Maybe it seems like thecolor of grass to you but is not so obvious to others. If I sounded like I was telling people mis information then I apologize. That was not my intention.
It is up to you how you treat others and if it feels like the right thing then that is your right. Just understand that some of us are not out to show we are smarter than anyone else and are just trying to help even when we make wrong assumptions.
Thanks for correcting me and setting the record straight.

rename teh update - update- DONOT PUT THE ZIP PART.
i had the same problem. i noticed the elocity update did not use the zip in the update name.
Sooo
Android Go is made for low-end devices with 1 gig or less of RAM right ?
Could/Would someone please port it when possible ? It would be really cool if our beloved 2009 phone could run new software.
It probably required newest google play services which could kill all resources. Hopefully someone will confirm that I'm not right.
Meanwhile I have installed oldest possible facebok lite and skype lite, etc... from apkmirror.
It works some way.

And how come the only person able to boot Oreo on this magically lost the rom in limbo?
C'mon now. A zip is never lost, unless you write over it.
He should have had to re-write whole GBs to write over the place the rom was stored in.
You can simply use Recuva, Easeus, etc. and dig up the file after you've deleted it accidentally.
This whole community would be more than happy to have it, even completelly broken. If it boots, there is hope it could be fixed.
So, tell that person to use those programs and try to recover it.
It might have not been overwritten yet.

Hi,
This last days I have stranges things with my phone, and it is the first time that happened.
When I reboot after install magisk modules or adaway file host, my phone cannot be unlocked.
I type the pin code for unlock my sim card, and after the pin code for unlock the phone.
At this moment I have a black screen and I must retype my code ever and ever.
Nothing to do, just reinstall all the rom. Unable to use a clean backup, this is the same problem.
If anybody knows this issue and can save my life, you're welcome.
Thanks a lot, cordialement
I found the issue.
I can install magisk and reboot normally.
But when I install modules everything is locked.
If anyone have infos?

Hello, I am updating my mom's phone and saw your post.
Unfortunately that bug has been around for a few months, I have a quick temporary fix for you but unfortunately the bug will return, if you can live without a screen lock that may be you only solution for now.
Lock Screen ( delete the lock)
Boot to Recovery
Go to Recovery File Manager
Navigate to the /data/system folder
locate and delete the file called : locksettings.db
Now you no longer have a screen lock and you can easily get into the phone.
FYI : If you want the lock again , simply create a new key or pattern
This issue could be anything such as corrupted permissions, It seems that it pops up after installing audio mods and substratum. But I don't think it is caused by either one.
If your phone gets hot while experiencing this issue flash the thermalfix 7 file, located on the thermals thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78717015&postcount=18
This morning I've formated my phone to be sure is not an error from me. I will try your solution if it happens again.
Thanks for your response my friend!
Is it possible f2fs formating data partition is the issue?

It's very likely that this is the origin of the problem. It happens to me too, and have F2FS formated data too.

I'm go back to ext4 and everything is OK.
I saw a magisk module who's made for stop this issue.
If there is a magisk module for that I think the problem is f2fs!

I don't think so because I only use Ext4
Well, I think I finally found the true origin of this problem: Magisk Hide interferes with newer Webview implementations, as explained here:
https://www.didgeridoohan.com/magisk/MagiskIssues#
I also found several workarounds:
1) Disable Magisk Hide. I need some banking apps, so for me this is not an option.
2) Use Chrome Beta and select its engine as default Webview in Developer Options. Chrome Beta signature is not buggy, so it works as it should. This is the solution that I've chosen, by the way.
3) Ask our developers @codeworks @mosimchah and the others if they could include this commit that fixes invalid signatures in their future releases:
https://github.com/LineageOS/android_vendor_cm/commit/a3a76f5d1cc233ad8024ffdc74bb3a786e1605c3

It's some app compatibility issue with Android Pie/Webview for sure. In my case was my banking app, changing to Chrome beta fixed the problem (app still crashes from time to time, but I'm not having the damned screen lock problem anymore)
You can try using Webview component alone from Play Store (I notice that in my case it's working too) or do some research to find out which app is causing the issue and uninstall it (if you can live without it, of course)
