So earlier today i decided to put the rom octane on my samsung galaxy s 4g. all went well it worked but my wifi will not connect for no matter what i try. all it does is searchs and then turns off. i have tried changing back to stock rom and read a bunch of other posts about wifi issues but none help and solutions u guys can think of would be GREATLY appreciated.
Logs would help you get a meaningful answer. Right now it could be "Gee, is your battery charged?" or "Have you considered unwrapping your phone from the tinfoil that it is in?"
While I use developer tools, I understand aLogcat can help as well.
sry im new to the android scene. what do u mean by logs?

Try resetting your router. If that doesn't do it - do a factory reset on your phone. If that doesn't do it flash Gremlin Remover. Look for the thread in the Dev section.
i have already done the first to i will try the third and post back
sry for the double post but it worked! thanks

ok i bricked my phone.
how can i undo it. nothing happens. tried following links nothing.
help thank you.
Possibly the worst first post ever. We should have a "best of" list somewhere on this site. Kinda like Craigslist does.
@OP With the amount of info you provided I can tell you nothing.
LOL...
Hi TX
how did you brick your phone?
Did you odin it a Vibrant ROM instead of SGS 4G?
We really need more info.
See if you can get into download mode (yellow triangle) by pressing both volume keys as you plug phone to computer (you will need to install Samsung drivers first)

Is your phone really a GALAXY S 4G or do you have an EPIC 4G like the other guy or an GALAXY S, or any of the other models that people think are this phone and then flash the wrong stuff to it.
together orienh
Its a Samsung Galaxy 4g by tmobile. i flashed the vibrant stuff on there which when i download the tom it did not say it was for vibrant,.
I used Odin to do it with.
i been trying to get it into down load mode since i done bricked it. looks like i might end up buying one of those usb jig to force it.
I ave flashed phone in the past but mostly blackberry's to different carriers.
so as a noob i F**cked up on my personal phone which i have a back up which is not a big deal. all i wanted to do was upgrade from fryo to ice-cream or something better.
Sucks that as of now not given the opertunity to up date software.
thanks

What are you running on your SGS4G?

"What time is it?"
I typically run something close to Team Acid's CM9. Recently it has been with Hefe Kernel of Darkness, the auto-brightness mods, and I build with TWRP (since I have come to prefer it over Clockwork recovery). I like AOKP for some of its features as well, and find the two perform similarly for me.
Right now I'm running CM9 mainly because of the work on the Aries kernel I'm doing. Team Acid needs to get it running on one ROM solidly before seeing if there are ROM-related things that also need to be resolved.

WOW REALLY? That "unhelpful" link is Samsungs stock firmware repository. Click link, Register, click firmware, search device number, DL firmware for ODIN. How does it feel having your hand held like a little kid?
you know, it snot-nosed stuck-up kids like you that make us not want to help people. first, you post this thread with absolutely no helpful information on what you did to your phone. second, it's obvious you didn't search before you posted, otherwise you wouldn't have posted this thread. third, when people were being helpful and i mean very helpful (most would just point and laugh or flame at you for posting this thread), you don't even thank them. and finally after someone basically held your hand and gave you probably the most helpful link in regards to which rom to flash with odin, you go and disrespect him. but i can also see that maybe there is a little sense in your head cause you actually did use the search feature of this forum and found something helpful also. but that's only "one thing positive for you. hopefully you will learn something from this though. and now i'm going to quote something from someone you may know...

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/2675-heimdall-advanced-how-to-debrick-hard-bricks-with-no-jtag/
Good evening everyone,
Ok i wanted to clear something up for one.
I did research out my wazoo before posting this.
i posted plain and simple what my phone was doing.
Did not think you had say hey i have a zebra phone. My phone got bricked. yes my fault. i did more research found nothing that's why i posted the basic info thinking someone would say try this.
Ok for the ones who tried to help me thanks but i have gotten one rude person who replied originally. after i posted.
to the guy who posted the link for sammobile now all you did was posted a link thanks but on your side you could have told me register first to get what i need. but you did not so when i went to that link it looked like a place for viriusis, my Virus scanner went off so i posted what i posted, after i seen your post after i post i did what you said and ok some reason all was good. now before anyone replied back, i still did me research and found someone with something helpful not using Odin the link i posted and i said thanks to that person on there thread. I have never flashed an android phone before. i have done blackberries from carrier to carrier sprint to cricket.
For those who were helpful and not rude to me Thank you.
And report me go ahead fine. i am just now getting home from work to reply back to this and say thanks for who have helped.
Have a great day.
That is all.
I don't see anything in this thread worthy of reporting.....what's so horrible here?
What I see is some reading to deeply into things....but nothing said or done againsts any xda rules....other than some non vulgar name calling which was actually done by someone who is doing the reporting.
Sorry but this is sad.
Way to treat a new Guy!.....
@OP
The guy who posted the link for Sammobile is the same guy who "rudely" replied to you. That guy is me. If you think that reply was rude so be it. You provided ZERO useful info. Still haven't. I'm glad you got your phone back up and running. Please stay on stock until you decide to take the time and learn a few things.
OK first off, you need a new virus scanner. That website literally how we got gingerbread on this phone until it was official October last year.
Or you have a bad site open in another tab.
You should have at least looked around the website.
2. One of the first stickies in the general section is the DON'T FLASH ANY VIBRANT ROM thread. It is NOT the same phone.
3. This phone is called the SGH- T959V for future reference.
4. Next time you post, don't blame the guy that helps you.
@hechoen. Just for reference. The website only has leaked firmware up to KI1. You have to go to sampro.pl for KJ6. (It is in polish, and you need an account.(use google chrome for a translator))
im sorry if this is the wrong place to post...but the other parts of this forum dont get enough traffic.
I lost my imei when flashing stock rooted rom. I made a backup but when the phone restarted..the backups got erased. I dont know why this happend!! this is the worst case scenario. I tried flashing the stock rom from samsung dot com via odin....my imei still isnt restored!!
any other way i can get my imei restored even though i dont have a backup?? thanks in advancee
maybe this thread can help others with similar issues
So..
You ignored the installation and the forum instructions... ok.
I highly recommend the box at the top labeled "search".
Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801997
Good luck with that.

I can understand why you would be peeved. But i used the search function. and found multiple ways of solving my problem. But none of which worked for me.
I was installing paid apps in other tutorials to try and fix my imei issue, and ended up with deadend after deadend. and furthermore..most of the guides werent specific to my phone. I didnt want to make my phone a "superbrick". I knew better than to post in the dev section...but i acted purely out of fustration and desperation. the user "orange808" was kind enough to point me in the right direction.
i know that doesnt justify it...but it wont happen again! i apologize
I appreciate all the devs hard work on this phone.
Hey everyone,I have a Verizon m8 and am rooted with s off. I was wondering if there is anyway to unroot and turn soff back on.... I would really liketo get this phone back to the way it came fresh out of the box.. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone.
Also, I am running viperrom if that matters at all.

Read through here...read carefully what versions you are on, if you remove s-off now and the 4.4.3 update comes out you may not be able to s-off again.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2745257
Based on your other post I really wouldn't worry about it. If I were a bit nervous like you, I would flash a rooted stock rom, which you should be able to find in the threads as well.
Couple quick notes since you sound a bit new, I would edit/remove (you can't delete a post so just edit the entire post to say removed because wrong thread) that request in the Viper thread, someone will probably flame you for asking in there. Lastly, seems like you are getting some help so good luck and keep reading and asking, the Thanks button under peoples names is always appreciated, I know I appreciate it .

Thanks for the tips man!
hi i have a S2- I9100T and i tried to flash cyanogenmod 12.1 but while attempting, it failed to do it and got stuck on the screen. so i removed the battery and now it constantly boots to the recovery. . i tried a version compatible to S2- I9100 which is not the same model as mine but i read somewhere that it could work.
You will probably have to revert back to stock and try again, next time, follow the actual tutorial for your device. If not you could well run into a problem like this one. As a general rule, if you do your reading and you still have a problem, someone has had that problem before and so you can probably find your answer through more reading. I have have friends who use XDA every day and don't even have an account because most real problems are discussed.
Make sure when you post this that you are on the correct forum, you would be likely to receive more help in the S2 forums, and make sure you have your device model and the Rom you flashed in the post so they can provide more assistance.

No worries. I used to have this device so I felt your pain.

With this attitude no one will you help you. Help yourself and others on XDA and just don't root or do any other customizations to your phones. The answers to your issues are in the forums, but if you are not willing to do the research and reading required to fix issues that arise (your questions have been discussed thoroughly by the way), save yourself the time and trouble.
I have reported your second post to moderators. Foul language is not necessary and will not get you anywhere here.

Glad to hear you got it working. One major recommendation: edit your post where you used bad language. Better if you take responsibility and clean it up then a moderator. Second, as you have done, always report that your problem is resolved if it has been. If possible, details of what you did is always good to share as it may help others.
Here is what I will tell you. This is not a support site. This is a developers site. Which means if you come off rude, unprepared or didnt do your proper research then you will most likely be ignored. This site is hear for you to learn something and then learn to fix things on your own. Not to get tech support.
Take this as a lesson as this post could have easily gotten you banned.
