Wifi,Odin, kirles problems

I bought the phone from someone already rooted and ran into some problems.....
I installed the correct drivers for this phone off one of the xda forums for flashing. I also noticed when setting it up the wifi will not obtain the IP Address. It is running firmware 2.2.1
Odin will recognize the phone and start to flash but then get held up at the "setup connection" tried multiple roms
Kies when It is downloading binary files it gets an error
I fallowed all instructions to the letter, I have never ran into this problem in all the phones I have flashed , any ideas would be greatly appreciated

As far as the wireless goes, are you absolutely sure you put in the correct network key? Is there a network key? Are you home and can mess with router settings?

The one time I had that problem I just reset my wifi router. If you're using encryption (I hope you are), make sure the settings on the phone match the settings on the wifi router (WPA, WPA2, TKIP/AES, etc.) & that you're using the right pass code.

The phone must be in download mode for ODIN to recognize it. Were you able to get it into download mode?

If you're wanting to get it updated to Gingerbread, I'd suggest following FBis251's Gingerbread Starter Pack or using one of Bhundven's One-clicks. The latter option only requires that you have Java installed.

Weird. Have you tried performing a factory data reset on the phone? It couldn't hurt & might clear up some problems.

That's odd. That would prevent ODIN from working for sure. If it's rooted, download and install a terminal emulator from the market. Then open the terminal and issue these commands:
su
reboot download
That should get you into download mode unless something's really hosed.

That would be due to it not going into download mode. Try what I said above and see if it works

Tried factory reseting didn't work I will try the terminal in a little bit i didnt think about that and I know its rooted cause I used root check basic and super one click to reroot to see if that would work

Cool, let me know how it goes. I'm thinking that if we can get you into download mode that getting you updated to GB might help a lot.
If you're not looking to go that route and want to stay Froyo, you might want to look at GPS Aids in the market. It has a "hard reset" feature that might be of help.

Thank I forgot all about terminal emulator I will mess with it in a min and let u know thanks for the support

Is it plugged into the same USB port as before? ODIN & Win7 are funny about that some times. If that doesn't help you might have to power it off & back on to get ODIN to see it:
Power off the phone
Unplug the USB cable
Remove the battery
Plug the USB cable into the computer and the phone
Hold down the volume up and volume down keys
While holding those down, re-insert the battery
See if that gets you back into download mode and/or recognized by ODIN. Also make sure you're using ODIN 1.85.

I tried this and couldn't figure out why it won't work

When you tried it, what happened exactly?

Someone update via OTA from the # 1 ICS leak

I popped the notification, update and then between here and now I find that there are chances of my phone is brick. Who here have been updated and have been victorious in that?
Currently the download is in progress, do not know how to stop it.

If you take the ota update from leak 1 it just puts you on official ICS. If you deleted bloat or have a custom rom or anything, it'll just say update failed and I guess you'll have to fxz back.

please help. Phone boot looped

I am on the samsung infuse. SGH-I997 from at&t running gb 2.3.6 my phone is rooted. I don't have it overclocked or underclocked or anything like that. i just went into setting menu and did factory data rest and checked the erase sd card option as welll. My phone will come up to the boot animation i have set and then screen will go dark. I press the screen on button and the boot animation is still on, Like it's just starting again. Then twice now it has started up and let me unlock sim card then goes to the setup wizard which i connect to my wifi after accepting googles terms or whatever. once i put in password I can't see an option for next or back or cancel. I see quit in the top right corner and when I press that to get out of the setup wizard the screen is just plain black. I can see the notification bar and that's it. I can't pull it down. I can't even turn the screen off. Please help me. Should I attempt to go back to stock/rooted gb 2.3.6 via odin??? Please help me out quickly if you can I need this phone for work purposes and have not the means to get another one.

Yes, use odin or heimdall, which ever you are most comfortable with.

Thank you. Worked like a charm. Odin is a lot easier to use I might add

[Q] {q} HELP! MORON ATTACK! This thing is like a soap opera

So, yesterday, I had a perfectly functioning, stock 4.1.1/rooted unit.
Got a little frisky and decided to try out Liquid Smooth. Flashed that through recovery (it's a 4.2.1 Beta 2) but forgot to do the bootlocker.
The latest LS has a Bluetooth sound problem that's pretty bad. So, I thought I'd switch over to CM10.1, their 4.2.1 effort.
Well, without the bootlocker in place, you can pretty much guess how that worked out.
So now, I've odin'ed a variety of roms and so forth; no clue what happened to my backup.
My main focus has been what I call the dunce-cap routine, of going back to stock and starting over.
The problem? I did that and now I'm stuck in roaming mode and my calls don't work.
I'm dead without this phone (considering how long I've been working on this, since 8 pm or so yesterday except for a couple of hours of sleep, I might be dead, period.) and I've got to have one functioning. It's so bad that I'm considering just trashing it and buying another one, even thought THAT would hurt.
Almost everything I try winds up either getting the yellow triangle or the odin fail.
Now, thanks to some help I've gotten here that focused me into understanding this total screw up is MY fault completely, I believe I know what has to be done.
The plan was to go back to stock, root and DO THE DAMNED BOOTLOCKER, then go back into CM10.1 and make some changes in subscribing to CDMA or something (don't have that in front of me this second) to get the phone part of the phone operational but I can't get there.
In the guide here I have completed step 1, flashing the factory image.
The next step is blowing me up. I have used the file I have for the Recovery: CWM6023TouchVZW.tar.md5.tar, maybe 4 times.
NOW when I try it, odin fails and the phone tells me "secure check fail : recovery."
And help would be appreciated. Before I feed this thing to my Doberman Cavalier Spaniel. Or something.

Have you tried Odin with a completely stock rom?

Yup. Completely stock rom is installed. The next step was installing the recovery... and using a file that I had used before, that's where I'm running into the problem of the secure check fail.
That very file HAS worked before, 3 or 4 times with no problem.

Why does the file end in ".tar.md5.tar"? It's supposed to end in ".tar.md5" Since owning this phone, I've never seen a file with ".tar" twice in the file name.

Update: OK... have gone through the guide which went brilliantly.
Now, do I just boot this thing into recovery and flash the CM10.1?
Is there anything I've overlooked? Anything else I need to do?
And do I do the factory reset/wipe dalvik and the rest before, or after?
I presume I have to use ezlock to unlock the bootloader again after this, right?

No, you still need to unlock bootloader and backup your IMEI. You may want to do quite a bit of reading, CM 10 is not as easy to fix some of the potential problems that you could possibly encounter.
I am not hating on them, but don't think it is as simple as one of the TW ROMS.

When I try this method to back up the IMEI it doesn't do anything after entering the *#7284# and if I hit the phone, it just sends me to a Verizon intercept operator.

Encryption no longer working

I realized that this should probably go in the CleanROM thread, but as a newly-registered member I don't have the ability to post there yet
My company requires us to encrypt if we want to sync our work e-mail/calendar (Exchange ActiveSync). However, after unlocking the bootloader, rooting, S-OFF, installing TWRP 2.3.3.1, and then installing CleanROM 6.5 (lots of fun yesterday ), the encryption no longer works.
Everything seems to go as normal until the phone reboots and prompts for the password/PIN. I enter the PIN, but then the phone gets stuck on the HTC One boot screen (I didn't have the patience to wait more than an hour though). So I reboot into TWRP, do a factory reset (which fails), and reboot. Once Android is back up (with everything reset), it complains that the phone storage is corrupted, and allows me to format it.
Not sure if there are any known issues regarding encryption, so please let me know if any of you have ideas as to what is wrong. :fingers-crossed:

I experienced this once as well. Never tried encrypting it again after and never discovered the root of the issue.

That is unfortunate I spent several hours yesterday encrypting, resetting, encrypting again, and resetting again... I did some research and tried this solution, which unfortunately didn't work. Not sure if it is an issue with CleanROM or TWRP or ...?

Hmm. How so the encryption doesn't start at all? I'm using a Sense-based ROM, so the issue you are experiencing is likely different than mine. My phone goes through the encryption process (not sure if something goes wrong there), and then Android fails to load after I enter the PIN and decrypt.
I have an important phone call I need to take today, so I didn't want to mess around with my phone too much last night. I'll experiment more tonight and see if I can find a solution. :fingers-crossed:

Encryption procedure:
1.Make a full backup in TWRP
2.Restore your backup - This seemingly odd step will ensure a footer is allocated at the end of your data partition for encryption data.
3.Install a CM build equal to or newer than 20130516 and wipe Dalvik cache
4.Reboot and let phone battery charge to 100%
5.Turn on Airplane mode
6.Settings > Security > Encrypt phone
Be patient, your screen may go black for a couple minutes without indication of anything occurring before a reboot occurs and encryption progress is displayed.

33%? I don't think it displayed the encryption progress when I was trying to encrypt over the weekend. It just showed the green Android puzzle image for a while as it encrypted, then rebooted and prompted me to enter my PIN.
I'll try again tonight.

Still getting the same result... and no progress display. Will keep searching for a solution... :fingers-crossed:

I am also running into this issue with encryption on CR6.5. I have attempted to do the following:
1) Setting up encryption as a part of setting up an exchange account
2) Setting up encryption before any accounts have been set up
3) Following the steps in post #9
In each case, I've seen the following:
I set up a PIN
I follow all of the prompts to enable encryption
Click Encrypt
The green robot image shows briefly
The system boot animation shows (this show maybe 3-5 minutes)
The system reboots into airplane mode
I am prompted to enter my PIN to decrypt
The boot animation displays again
... and it just continues to show the animation
I never saw any indication of the progress of the encryption which I was used to seeing previously.

That is exactly what I am seeing. I might just revert back to stock until a fix is discovered.

Sadly, I went back to the RUU and am now having the same problem. So, I doubt this has something to do with CR at all. If you have the same experience, then we should probably update the title of this thread to be more generic.

I am pretty sure its the unlocked bootloader.
