Is there a way to fix the 'unable to start wifi' problem without flashing rom?

Because I like the stock one, and cyanogen's rom messes up my 3g settings.
Thanks, guy

Would probably help if u posted what device u r using

[Q] Experiences with Kernel Manager or Kernel Manager Lite?

I've been flashing kernels through Clockwork, but I decided to download Kernel Manager Lite and I'm considering trying it. Has anyone had any experiences with it, good or bad? I'd appreciate any feedback before giving it a go. Thanks

it's works flawless for me, i use the free one.

The only problem I've run into was flashing a kernel while on BAMF 1.6, it worked but broke wifi. I flashed the same kernel using clockwork and wifi was back with no problem. I read someone else had the same problem.

That might have been me and more of a 1.6.1 ROM issue which has Kernel Manger Lite included. My story:

I was using kernel manager pro when I attempted, not the one included in the rom. I figured it had to be kernel manager because CWM flashed it perfectly.

Thanks for the responses. I'll probably give it a try. I guess I can always reflash through Clockwork if anything goes wrong. Or worse case, I can flash a backup if anything gets seriously out of whack.

For me the issue is this ...
No backup made prior to flashing ... I'm sticking w/ RM for kernel flashing

Based on my experience with BAMF rom and leanKernel, it appears that any customization scripts and/or files that the kernel developer intended for you DO NOT get flashed with Kernel Manager (I have Pro version). The people with broken wifi using KM but working wifi with RM proves the point. My experience was that 4G hotspot didn't work when flashing leanKernel from KM, but works fine with an RM flash. This is actually a common problem across several devices I've used. Many kernel devs modify the wifi driver and/or other things in a manner that they end up only working with their specific ROM. The do this by including the modified files in their zip package along with a script telling the phone what to put where. The issue becomes if you switch to a kernel that's relying on a stock wifi driver, and doesn't put it back on its own, then you've got a busted wifi. The only way around that is to manually push/restore a copy of a wifi driver known to work with the kernel you're using. I kind of regret paying for the pro version after finding this out; hopefully the KM folks can figure it out. The kernel itself is just the boot.img file; the add-ons files that go into the /system partition or where-ever. If you're interested in knowing what a particular kernel is pushing on your phone, just open the zip file and drill down through the folders to find what files are in /system tree. This is also a way to find files you need to go back to stock drivers, just find a stock rom that's flashable in RM and drill down to the files in /system/lib and push them back to the phone via adb or root explorer.

i bought the pro version and i wish i hadn't. i downloaded/flash one of protekks kernels through there and it sent my phone into a bootloop and by the time i'd flashed a nandroid backup the 15 minutes had gone by -_______-

why?
I haven't actually tried this yet, I guess the question for me is why? Does it do something that CW cannot do? I don't know much about the product so I am just trying to understand the benefit of installing it.

It will notify you of kernel updates, and you can filter kernels based on what you want

Phone wont bootup on Imoseyon kernel

Just flashed imoseyon's kernel on my rooted thunderbolt and now I'm stuck in a bootloop...any advice? I've running stock rom.

It's the lean version of his kernel and thats the only thing I flashed. I cleared cache + davik cache before flashing.

I was able to do a restore, but I want to use this kernel

It sounds stupid, but try again. Clear cache and dalvik

I've tried 5 times Even tried uninstalling setcpu and unfreezing all the bloatapps that I had frozen. Still get stuck on boot

I've also tried re-downloading the kernal file in case it was corrupt...no luck still.

Which Imoseyon kernel are you running?
Could it be that your particular Tbolt won't handle the lower voltage? Also you might want to check the md5sum again.
Good luck.

I said its the lean version, and he doesnt post md5sum so I have nothing to compare to. But thanks for using my thread to +1 your post count....

wifi is broke and my data is stuck on 1X only now after doing advanced restore-->reboot only.

Did you flash the GB Sense kernel instead of the Froyo kernel?

I used this 1... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021404 It says Froyo... where can I find the stock kernel that you get after rooting? I need to get wifi/data working again now.

I mount the phone as disk drive on my computer, and I can only view the SD Card...ugh whats going on, so many issues after flashing this kernel

I did a factory reset now and I still cant connect to wifi/3g/4g...I think I need to flash the stock kernel to fix it. Can someone point me in the right direction please?

Flash another rom such as BAMF, whenever you flash a rom it flashes the kernel that is included in the rom as well.

I'm using his kernel just fine. Can you check your radio version?

radio 1.16.00.0402, and Im on the stock ROM, dont want to use a special ROM...

Flash a rom or the stock rom that should get you on another kernel. Also, my TB couldn't handle some of the kernels. I was never able to get it at 1.92ghz. I can only use the normal version. Try one of the other versions. Best of luck!

make sure the kernel is not oc'd to 1.92.................most phones can not handle that.

No WIFI tethering running stock HTC Inspire Gingerbread ROM

I am running the stock version of Gingerbread on my phone and just noticed today that the WIFI tethering option is not working. I don't live in the US and my phone is SIM unlocked.
When I select the WIFI tethering option I get a message to contact AT&T to purchase a tethering plan, I guess they did this to prevent people in the US from doing it since it was possible to do it with the Froyo version by deleting the APN settings.
I downloaded a widget that let me do the tethering once but not anymore.
Has anyone found a workaround for this?

Yes. Quit using the att stock rom.

follow this and use the guide to get free wifi teather on your phone.
http://www.unigizmo.com/1696/steps-by-steps-guide-–-to-enable-data-tethering-on-htc-inspire-4g

That will only work for Froyo but not Gingerbread . The new ROM won't even let you use those APN settings
I guess I will have to go back to stock Froyo. I did rooted once and instaled Coredroid but had to many annoying issues. Oh well hopefully someone will find a fix that doesn't involved rooting and whatnot. But thanks anyways

I have the GB too and I can confirm the old workaround doesn't work around and more.
I'm hoping for a new way .... Does anyone know of a fix or a 3rd party app that will provide the same functionality?

I've never "rooted" a phone before. I have the HTC Inspire and I was hoping to.
Can I root the GB version that is already installed? There is a Wireless Tethering app that won't work and asks .... Is your device rooted?

Hi everyone,
So far I haven't found any fix for the WIFI tethering or an app available in the Android market that will bypass that. So I just went back to Stock Froyo using the official RUU from HTC
About rooting, yeah sounds a bit complicated but if you follow all the steps then you'll be fine. I was kinda scared when I attempted to root my phone. I used the hack kit or whatever was called and I worked, make a search and you will find the guide. Then I installed CoreDroid V7 but it had some annoying issues, no random reboots or force closes though. Then after a week of using that ROM I read about the GB official updated and I downloaded the RUU. I gotta say the phone got a bit faster but today I discovered the WIFI tethering thing and it is something I use, maybe not all the time but is a great tool when there is no WIFI available to connect your computer to the Internet.
I shall update to GB when someone finds a fix for that. Good luck you all

Something you can try. I don't know if it will still work but if you turn airplane mode on and all at&t signal is off then turn on your wifi and go to the market and search for wifi tether apps.

I did try that. What I did was to put the phone in AP mode and it would let me activate the tethering option but as soon as I enabled the mobile connection I would get the same message that I need to call bla bla.
But Froyo will do alright for me right now. I didn't see any noticeable changes in the GUI in comparison with GB but GB does manage the resources better and improves the battery life. Next time I'll get a phone that is not carrier branded LOL

Bobbypty, I am having the exact same problem and want to do what you did when you say "So I just went back to Stock Froyo using the official RUU from HTC."
Can you please point me in the right direction as to how to obtain Stock Froyo from HTC? I have been to their site and can't find it, and I've searched the forums here and elsewhere on the web and can't find anything specific to this. I would really appreciate your help since it sounds like you have done EXACTLY what I want to do!

What's up?
Here is the direct download for the RUU and this will install the stock 2.2 for the phone. You will need to install the HTC sync in order to run it. Just double clicked on the exe file and you shouldn't have any problems. Make sure your phone has 30%+ of battery.

Is that going to downgrade radio as well? Thanks in advance.

Yup.
Everything will go back to stock. Radio version 12.39.60.19H_26.06.04.06_M Android version 2.2.1

Hi everyone,
Seems that there is no fix for this right now since the ROM for this phone is branded by ATT unlike the Desire HD (Close sister to this phone) is a unbranded HTC ROM.
So pretty much the options we have is either to go back to stock Froyo or root the phone and then install a custom ROM that is based off the DHD Gingerbread ROM, I've been reading other forums and the custom ROMs based from the Inspire 4G will still have the WIFI tethering option blocked, so stay away from those. Make sure the ROM you are installing is based from the DHD. Try Coredroid, Cyanogenmod or whatever you like. Rooting this phone is not that complicated and I was able to do it with a little help.
Good luck with the rooting/flashing if you decide to go for that. Search for Ace Hack Kit for instructions.

I was able to get wireless tethering working on an AT&T gingerbread ROM, I modifed the apn xml before i flashed it, I modified APN Type to * for all of the AT&T / ATT/ medianet entries in the file (except for the mms apn that exists in there). I can upload my file when I get home or you can download my ROM from the rom thread (static nonsense) and grab it from /system/etc. Theres also an apn file in /system/framework/framework-res.apk inside the xml folder, Mine is more or less blank, so you may want to replace that file as well. Just a thought anyways

That's essentially what I did in InspirePhacopida and that works on my phone, but I was able to do it on my wife's stock phone by just adding an APN, so who knows?

Hi Gene and beerbaronstatic,
First of all thanks for the assistance.
I guess that for me to do that I'll have to flash the ROM via rooting and whatnot or did you modify a file within the RUU so I can just run that and flash it as if I was the regular ROM?
Regards
Robert

No. You can't modify an RUU zip. They are signed by HTC. If you modify one, or make an unsigned one from scratch, then you must have S-OFF so that the hboot loader ignores the signature (or lack thereof).

This is Gingerbread 2.3.3 on the Inspire NOT Froyo 2.2
Thanks anywho....

Yes. The WIFI tethering option WILL NOT work on the stock Gingerbread ROM of the HTC Inspire, this will only work with stock Froyo by manually setting the APN.
If you want to have the WIFI tethering option with GB, then you will have to root the phone to install a custom ROM based off the Desire HD which is the European version of the Inspire. Coredroid is the only one I've used so far but right now I went back to stock Froyo.

[Q] volume up doesnt work, Can I still flash recovery+rom

So I got a verizon s3 4.1 using tmobile. Everything works but the stock rom really bugs me so I want to change it to CM. But then I also found out that my volume up button doesnt work either so am I stuck to the stock rom? I do not have a recovery yet and was hoping to flash one tonight until this problem.
Also does anybody know if I flash CM will I still be able to run tmobile on the verizon s3 or do I have to edit apn settings because so far I dont have to edit any apn settings for my phone to work.
