[Q] Wifi Problems When Flashing Custom Kernal

hey guys! im new to POSTING to XDA but not new to using your FANTASTIC ROMS etc. i usually have it down reading all your great threads and finding the answer. but this one has me stumped!
i have a At&t infuse. i used kies to get the recent 2.3.6 update. i then rooted and have no custom kernal or anything. reason being, everytime i flash a CUSTOM KERNAL like Entropys DD my wifi always has some problems. it connects dont get me wrong. but it doesnt stay on for but 3minutes before it turns off and comes RIGHT BACK ON! i cant watch videos or download great roms with wifi interuptions! lol ive read and read and read till my eyes bleed and cant find why.
i HAVE: used ODIN to go back to stock and try again, nope//used Heimdall and still NOPE// i even Used ODIN with Entropys DD already in it and still have the same problem. (using Entropys most recent 3-4-12(i think))// I Even got another INFUSE and still same problem!//i have WIPED WPED WIPED my fingers sore and still nothing// And yes i have purchased a NEW router also and renewed lease to 2weeks or somehing other than never. THIS DOESNT HAPPEN WHILE STOCK only when using Custom kernals, AND NOT JUST ENTROPYS!!
so please please gus help me out!! sorry for the lengthy post but try to understand my frustration! lol thanks again!!

ok just in case anyone is folowing, i found Entropys CURRENT kernal (4-4-12), works great!
discussion on link provided, i have also attacehed ENTROPY's (4-4-12) Kernal in a .zip, its flashable through SGS (kernal flasher). fixed all my problems! thanks and good luck! (HDMI-out via MHL WORKS GREAT!)
THANKS AGAIN ENTROPY512!!

What should the "Kernel Version" show as if running Entropy's latest kernel?
I am unable to post in the appropriate Entropy Kernel thread in the Dev forum yet.
Is 2.6.35.7-I997RUXKG3-CL366622 correct? I think it is.

sorry

sorry for the late response, but yes. correct.

Even i have the same wifi disconnect problem every 2 minutes, problem started when i had to root my 2.3.6 and i installed Entropy's Daily Driver, then i installed zeus 6 still had the problem then i installed I997UCLB3-CWM-root-deodex-extras i still have the same problem
guys so installing 4-4-12 will resolve the issue or its just the same?

i have installed the 4-4-12 from entropy using sgs flasher but still the same problem

this is an issue i am plagued with as well... except it only happens at home, never at work.
Any thoughts Entropy or Bigjoe?

I also have this problem. I installed I997UCLB3-CWM-root-deodex-extras from a stock GB infuse and got this problem...now i'm running Recursion V1 with the same problem.

i called belkin support thinking it was my router... it wasnt, chaanged all kind of settings still disconnects. talked to samsung, no fix there either. i know i have done a clean flash so i know thta isnt the problem. must be something to do with the kernel or modems. but like i said only happens on my home network, never at work on wifi..

The simple fix is to change your home router dhcp settings from never too something else..ex: 2wks

You download it to a your sd card ever one cwm can access. And then just flash the zip. All it took for me. But what fixed my problem was changing the DHCP setting in my router from never to two Weeks

Also the issue you are most likely seeing is because you tried to flash a ROM with a kernel without first unlocking your bootloader. This is also explained in the above thread.

Can you get into recovery? If so wipe/factory restore and flash the stock ROM or a custom one WITHOUT a custom kernel. I would suggest just going back to stock ROM and starting fresh. If you made a backup (which you should have) you can just go back to that too. Just remember to unlock your bootloader before you put a new ROM on.

Yes you must flash the stock kernel after the vzw screen of death. Using root66 makes it easier to get back up and running. One less thing to do and you can then down load ez unlock & ez recovery to unlock boktloader/ flash cwm.

Thank you everyone for responding
Everyone was very helpful
I was able to get the phone back to stock and I went into a store to exchange it because I had that permanent roaming thing
So now I learned my lesson and first thing I did with the new device is back up my imei..

Accidentally deleted data folder

Hello,
Couldn't find any solution in the forum.
My friend accidentally deleted data folder on sd card on his HTC Incredible. Now his phone is not going to boot at all. Are there easy ways to resolve this?
I have a little experience in rooting, flashing roms on my Desire Z. But feeling a bit scary to perform this with another phone.
Would appreciate any help.
UPDATE : I asked him again, now I'm not sure what exactly he has deleted. He is far from IT person, and unlikely that he has rooted phone or made something like that, that is why I guessed that he just deleted something from sd card. Let me try to explain behaviour of the phone:
When the phone is starting to boot, it at first shows htc screen, then screens on the pictures, then phone just freezes.
Holding Volume Down button with Power button allows to see menu, but then trying to boot recovery or just boot makes same thing as above, Trying to make Factory reset just freezes phone on the menu window.
ANY GUESS WHAT IT MIGHT BE? OR WHAT IS THE BEST THING I CAN DO?
UPD2: My friend deleted some apps (processes with names starting com...) from All applications menu in Settings in HTC Sense.

If he has a recent Nandroid backup then he can just flash that and let it rebuild what it needs to. Otherwise you can S-Off and root his phone, then install a custom or stock ROM as you like.
You will find more help in the HTC Incredible or HTC Incredible S forums, depending on exactly what model phone your friend has.

I think deleting any folder on sd card never cause this type of serious problem...
Unless and unless you screw in system files or boot files of your device this happens..
And as we all know that all these critical files stored in device memory so deleting anything on memory card never do this..
Just inquire him he must screwed up something in root directory of device..
we all should be polite enough to press thanks for anyone who helped US.

maybe your friend deletes data folder in which is in the internal storage.
maybo you can access you phone after a full wipe.

My suggestion is to restore with a NANDROID or flash a ROM.

Just full wipe! The data partition doesn't affect the rom, because rom is in system partition. The only problems are mismatches of data. Full wipe to assure the system "knows about your forced data wipe".

just updated the post
Thanks for reply to everyone!
I've updated the post. You can find more details now. I cannot perform anything because I cannot boot anything.
Hope you can help, will wait for your kind replies before making any radical steps.

In that case, I would recommend flashing your kernel anew.
If it doesn't help, you could try to flash a stock firmware. If this didn't help, I would probably visit a repair shop.
Hope it helped, best of luck

As I wrote I cannot boot into recovery.
Can I flash kernel or rom using my laptop if the phone is not going to boot into recovery mode?
Repair shop is asking too much. I want to know could I do it by myself, with your help, of course.

Now that clarified it all. Of course you can flash it anew... Even in the worst situation your phone could be in, you can always flash kernels and firmwares!!!

Assuming the rooting process is same or simillar to Desire HD u could use hack ace tool to downgrade to stock rom, root and install cwm recovery.
After that you can flash any custom rom.
You can find a third party site link in this thread (marvin02's post):

[Q] Help ASAP! Might have bricked Galaxy S3

Hey I'm pretty new to rooting, and I think I might have seriously f'd this one up.
I actually did the root just fine, no troubles with that. I just ran something called saferoot, verified the root and actually made a backup with Titanium (on my PC now). After that, I used an app EZ-Unlock which told me my bootloader was successfully unlocked.
Now comes the rough part. I got ROM Manager and used it to install ClockWork Mod. I hit "Make backup with CWM" it shut down my phone, and now I can't get it to boot at all.
I could really use some help ASAP here, I need the phone. Thanks guys

Yeah the s2 should be fine....should be but read up. The Verizon s3, specifically the 4.3 ota is the problem. They locked it down real good. Anything before the 4.3 ota would've been fine. Sorry
Watch, as I combine all the juice from my mind...

Thanks man. I found an explanation of how to do it online so I thought it was gonna work, but I guess not everyone can be trusted. Read through a tutorial on the cyanogen mod wiki for the S2, seems like it'll be fine.
That debrick fix isn't working...I have a year insurance on this, am I better off throwing this at the wall? Getting a replacement without them knowing it was being changed?

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S3 Trouble

Hello! I was wondering if any of you tech savvy people could help me out. I had bricked my Galaxy S3 and installed a new ROM on it in order to fix it. Needless to say it worked, or so I thought. Could you help? Details are below.
Model: Samsung-SGH-I747 (AT&T)
Issues:
-Camera won't take pictures, yet I can see what it sees.
-Video won't record.
-Mic won't pick up audio.
-No audio from phone at all.
-SIM is not being read
-Whole phone is a little laggy.
Please help me, Samsung chat wasn't very helpful.

Changing a kernel is pretty easy, just download the appropriate kernel for your phone and flash it through any custom recovery, then wipe cache and dalvik cache to avoid any future issues, you are good to go then

I am using this kernel on my s3. Its really good, a lot of powerful options, and easy to install. Just make sure you read thru the entire OP and research anything you don't understand. Depending on how bad your phone is, it might not be a bad idea to odin the original firmware and start fresh.
