I rooted my phone on gingerbread.UKJ2 using zerg rush and I can't find the link for that forum right now. However after I did that my wifi doesn't work it still detects the network but goes to detecting ip address and then just doesn't work. Any help would be greatly appreciated I didn't download any ROMS or anything just rooted my phone and downloaded busy box.

Hello fellow xoomers, im having a problem hope some one can help me. first off i'm a noob to rooting. I have a xoom wifi running android 3.0 , kernel version is 2.6.36.3 build HRI39. I was adventurous and tried to root my xoom and needless to say it didn't go well. I honestly thought I bricked the damn thing, to my shock and welcomed surprised I was able to do a wipe and erase all the data on my device and return to factory settings. but when it went to connect to the wifi all it's saying is wifi error every thing else seems to work fine. so i was wondering should i try to re root my xoom again??? will this correct the issue i'm having with my wifi?? and can some one point me to a guide that's made for the version i'm currently running seems likes there's a million and one different types of software and you have to have the right one for the version your running or every thing goes from sugar to well you know the rest. Any help would be greatly appreciated if you need any more info please let me know. thank you all in advance.....

SO
downloaded CF-ROOT frm h-t-t-p://download.chainfire.eu/55/CF-Root/SGS2/CF-Root-SGS2_XW_INU_KL1-v5.0-CWM5.zip
Extracted .tar and used ODIN (pda) to flash it .... easy !!!

I believe its now rooted :victory:

Follw up
F.Y.I
Phone is working fine and has had full/good signal all day
As for all the previous attempts to root phone i now believe that i maybe did not have the drivers setup correctly..!
I did download ADB drivers for my phone but i also installed KIES
I noticed that although I had the Android phone /w ADB interface in device manager
I am NOT sure if I had the Samsung USB composite device (thingy) as well... this i have read about in another thread
So while in ADB mode i was unable to gain access to the SD card or internal volume ..???
and most of the failures were reported as write errors or the programs just hung
This is just an after thought but maybe the reason I had so much trouble
I can no longer check this theory as it has now gone back to my friend
so if you are doing as I did check this out and it might be alot easier than it was for me :good:
This maybe completely wrong also..??? someone might comment who has had success were I failed.?
if there are any questions about this Thread i will be happy to answer any and all PM's
(im no expert but have rooted/unlocked and jailbroken/unlocked many phones)
and thats yet another paperweight turned into phone (imei style)
this could not be done however without all of the advice out there this was such a tricky one i thought i would put this info all in 1place
but real thanks goes to the many people doing there thing (donate coz i did if i made a few quid)
i just follow instructions
Hey,
So I mainly opened my account here because of this problem, and I need to fix it as fast as possible...
I rooted my phone, that went fine. Then I tried to upgrade the baseband to the ICS ROM, which didn't really work (I followed all the steps but when the phone turned on it was the same version..) so I skipped that step to install a new ROM. Installed the ICS ROM on my phone, but then I wanted to install the new baseband (P500-v20G) so I will have my network back. I ran LGMDP-v1.5.exe but it didn't detect any ports. My computer doesn't detect my phone either. And on a different computer my friend tried to help me, it connected but the baseband upgrading still didn't work. Also now I get plenty of errors when my phone is on about processes closing (didn't happen after the first time I installed a new ROM, but after I tried different other ROMs it did).
Please help me :crying:
So my two problems: phone not connecting to the computer (I'm sure it's a problem with my computer) and the baseband problem.
Problems solved.
I can say only one thing.. Please search and read all important and sticky threads before experimenting with your phone. Atleast have proper knowledge. These kind of dumb issues are already been answered a thousand times.
Temporary fix for your Baseband.. use the first link in my signature.
Flash it. AND Due to old scripts.. it does work with new recoveries.. so in that case use root explorer.. unzip and paste in /system/libs.. set permissions right.. thats all.
About how to upgrade Baseband and computer problem.. search and solve it yourself.

I love you. You saved me
By the way I looked around and tried everything that's why I made this thread.
Thanks.
One more problem- I don't have 3G internet. I can call and use wifi, but no internet. Any ideas how I can fix this?

Check you APNs ( Access Point Name ). Setting is located under Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names on CM7. I think on ICS and JB it's under Settings -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names. You mentioned a P500, so you're carrier should be listed as ATT under the APNs list.
Hello wonderful helpful android wizards out there! I humbly seek your help.
I recently purchased an unlocked HTC M8 AT&T and had it unlocked so I could use my prepaid carrier (Simple Mobile). I have two issues I would like help with:
1) I cannot get a gps lock at all. I have made sure the device is in high accuracy mode and I have tried downloading and refreshing aGPS data via the GPS status app.
2) I am trying to upgrade to lollipop using the provided RUU file on the HTC website:
http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8/news/
I am currently running 4.4.2. I was hoping that upgrading to the latest firmware might solve my GPS problem as a bonus, though I obviously want lollipop anyway to just generally be up to date. HTC sync manager works fine, but when I run the RUU file, it says the phone is not connected. I have tried the PB99IMH solution posted here that seemed to work for many people:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1928439
The roadblock I have hit is that I cannot copy the zip file onto my Android. I keep getting the error "The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected." I can copy other file to the phone just fine. I tried fiddling with the permissions of the file, but I honestly don't really know what I'm doing with those.
So those are my problems. I would greatly appreciate any assistance.

Recently i downloaded an app from a torrent site and installed thinking it was virus free but somehow it managed to infect my device i quickly turned it off and tried to put it in safe mode but it showed me a menu saying android was upgrading when i switched it on it started constantly spamming me it got to the point where i had to format it,it was installing apps on it's own so directly after the format it did the same thing as soon as i connected to the internet so i figured i need to just install a new(custom) rom on the device it is an Galaxy S4 i9500 the model is a South African one and i need to get a rom that would work for it i just want it up and running again so i can use it again. Any help with a walk through and advice on what rom to download and how to go about flashing it would be much appreciated.
thanks in advance for any help offered.

Hi and thank you for using XDA Assist
If you're new to this i would suggest you first to read this thread and watch a bit the links in thread mentioned . For the ROMs well i can't tell you anything because i don't know the Galaxy S4 variant so if you can tell me that i can specify more from where you can search.
Regards
