Hi All, First, let me say wow! This place is great. If it weren't for a space and forum like this a girl like me would totally be at the mercy of Verizon... A big up front Thanks!!
Ok, that being said, here's my problem. I rooted my D1 (Android 2.2.1 build FRG83G) using Soup or Root (tried z4root several times without success). Soup or Root worked great! I have access to root level and have super user permissions. I installed Busy Box and Barnacle (two more great pieces!) and have been enjoying my unlimited wifi thereing with all my wifi toys on the road. Life is good!!
But now, my phone keeps bugging me to install a system update of FRG83G - even though I still show that's the build I am running... I turned off 'Auto sync' and 'Background data' hoping this would stop the assault but no luck. I also searched everywhere on my device (using Astro File Manager) for the update file hoping to delete it but could not find it. I searched all directories for a file of the size indicated in the assult message. I even tried searching for all '.apk' files hoping I could find it and delete it that way... Nope.
How can I stop the assault and delete this update assault file message thing... Help!
Thanks in adavnce...

are you currently running a custom rom?
Not running custom ROM
I am not running a custom ROM. I am pretty much a novice at this stuff. Now that this update message keeps coming up since I rooted, after all I am reading here and on other forums,. I am worried my device will be bricked if/when I inevitablby butt-run the update... if you know what I mean... Help. gwen4156 at comcast dot net Tx

I have been using my samsung conquer with stock rom rooted. I have been using mainly fox fi but also other tethering apps. I always got good 4g speed. I needed to replace the phone because of a broken charger port. When I did there was an update installed that would not root, I followed a guide on rootzwiki (unavailable atm) to flash and root a stock rom with the update already installed. Since then tethering does not work very well. Some sites load very slow some not at all. Google search works perfect but links do not.
How can I tell if this a hardware issue or something else? I have another phone that has the same update but it is OTA not built-in and tethering is fine.
Is there anything I can do to test what is happening? It feels like a firewall...
thanks
I have a rooted GT-P6210 that was working perfectly fine and last night I updated Busy Box Free from Google Play. Busy Box Free reported an error with the install and shortly after I noticed that my Wi-Fi would no longer connect. It just reports "Error" after trying to connect to Wi-Fi.
I tried re-rooting my device but that didn't fix my Wi-Fi issues. I researched everywhere I could think of to unroot my device but all the threads seem to refer to guides that I don't see and firmware links that no longer work. I managed to find a copy of Odin3-v3.04 (not sure if that is the right version) but I still don't have instructions on how to do it nor do I have the firmware that I need.
I decided I would try going back to factory settings by powering off the device and booting into system recovery. I have done a wipe data/factory reset multiple times but Wi-Fi still doesn't work and I don't even know if that removed the root job I did.
When I plug my device into my PC and run Samsung Kies it reports that I have the latest firmware PDA:LA3 / CSC:LA3 (XAR)
So I am stuck and not sure what to do at this point. I have a pretty useless device that won't connect to Wi-Fi. I don't know if I wait around for ICS and install that if it will fix my problem.
Is there anyone that could help me restore my device to factory settings with actual guides, and provide working links to the firmware I would need?
Thanks for your help,
Bryson
I have an identical problem - albeit with a P6200 supplied by UK mobile network "3"
Busybox tried to update itself from 1.20.0 to 1.20.1 (using "Smart Install")
For whatever reason it failed. From then on, the Wifi wouldn't turn on - the button in the pop-up panel (can't remember what it's called!) going from grey to greyed-out green while trying to connect, and eventually giving up and dropping back to grey again - in control panel the Wifi section then just says "Error".
Also Tethering no longer works... clicking on "Portable Wi-Fi hotspot" gives me "Turning on..." in grey for 15-20 secs and then "Error"
I've not tried a factory wipe/reset or anything yet. Any suggestions?
Many thanks!
I have also had this issue with my Galaxy Tab 7 Plus (GT-P6210) since Monday evening.
When I noticed the problem I was going to try and restore a backup. During that process is when I noticed that I no longer had root access.
This morning I had a friend look at my device and he noticed that the 'Auto Update' was active. I thought I had that deactivated but apparently not. I’m wondering if an update was pushed out that destroyed root and as a result messed with the Wifi access. So far I haven’t gone any further than this.
Those of you having a similar issue, have you also lost root access? I wonder if re-rooting if that would solve the problem?

I started having the exact same issue two days ago, I've done countless factory resets and same deal, wifi comes up with error when trying to turn on.
I'm using an international p6200
PDA: P6200LUBKL1
Phone: P6200LUBKL1
CSC: P6200LUUBKL2
I've search everywhere for that firmware to try and do a re-install with Odin, but I cant find it.
Update: Just done a full factory reset, and still no Wifi.
Would a full firmware flash sort it? I've found the correct firmware for my UK "3" network P6200 here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1517934
This is for flashing with Heimdall:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755265
... though I've never used Heimdall - or even flashed a ROM TBH - so a bit hesitant to give it a go......
Update 2:
Just flashed with stock firmware and Odin - all back to normal, Wifi working!!
After much searching around I was finally able to find the correct original firmware for my TAB:
P6200LUBKL1
I found it on a Chinese site: (I cant post links yet lol )
With Google translator, I was able to download the file and flash the TAB using Odin3, everything worked perfectly, and Wifi is working fine again!!
I also had this problem after trying to update busybox,only I also had a random SoD issue that had me constantly rebooting my device. The only thing that managed to fix it was to Odin back to stock. I'm reluctant to root it again, but at least the problem is gone...
If you open the zip that you use to root this device, you will see that it is basically a binary called su and one script that move it to your device and set permissions. If you want to remove the root, you only have to delete this single file,
In some devices is not as easy, what the script do on our update package must be done with exploits, but the result is the same: move su to some folder on PATH, and set permissions.
That is it, there is no chance to be root fault, seems like some problem with busybos. Actually people like to blame root a lot
The same exact thing has happened to me with my P6210. When I put the device to sleep, I usually turn off wifi. This time I forgot and when I woke it up yesterday evening, the BusyBox updater was open. It failed, of course, and now my wifi won't turn on. No MAC or IP address.
EDIT: Used Odin to return to stock. Rerooted (but did not install CWM) and then installed Superuser, updated su binary. Then installed Busybox Installer which then installed Busybox. Stayed away from Busybox, which seems to have been the source of the problem on my device.
my bad..
Just updated Busybox to version 1.20.1 myself using the smart updater without any issues. Got message it installed correctly and wifi still works even after rebooting.
edit: One difference between me and the op is that I didn't use Google Play to update Busybox I used the apps smart install through the app itself.
Model GT-P6210 with LA3 build.
Could someone try to uninstall busybox?

I tried to uninstall busy box still no wifi.
In recovery mode I tried to reinstall my previous load from the file I had on my SD Card. Again no luck.
I'm willing to do a wipe on mine and put the original firmware back on. Has anyone done this with P2610? I have been looking through the forums and I have seen a lot for the P2600 but not much for P2610.
Thanks
Kyazuh
Do you have root still? I can give you a copy of my /system/bin and /system/xbin. As you are about to flash it new i think it could worth the shot.

Yesterday after I flashed with the stock Rom, wifi was working fine, I rooted the tablet again installed busybox again and have not experienced wifi issues as of yet.
leodfs using RootChecker it showed that I did not have root access anymore.
isalas16 did you flash from the SD Card using the recovery mode? Or did you use a desktop program like Odin or Heimdall? Also do you have the name of the stock ROM file that you used?
I'm on the newb side of things here and I want to make sure I'm using the right process and files.
Thanks

That did the trick for me. Uninstalling busybox and factory reset did not work. Flashed stock with Odin.
Sorry but doing the casual on my Verizon S3 4.1.2 @F1
I did step 1 and 2 and checked supersu as it said to update binary.. Not sure how to update. I've seen the same question many times without an answer. I haven't went any further and I'm still hooked up.. so I guess I am rooted now and unlocked, as I have supersu and titanium backup (root) but I haven't installed one of the 2 recoveries.
I'm not sure how to proceed. I just want to stay at 4.1.2 so I can keep my phone as a hotspot and keep apps on sd car, but I am afraid I might get forced into taking 4.3. It happened on an earlier update when My phone rebooted even though I had checked no updates.
For what I want, I don't know which recovery I should take or which custom ROM. I need good signal strength, stability, to be able to leave my options open, and Tethering ... I have a cabin where I have to use a cell phone amp. to just get a marginal signal. and no Wi-Fi there so want to be able to tether to my wi-fi only tablet.
suggestions appreciated!
Thanks

I was on 4.4.4 kit-kat and I was able to use tether. But now that I have updated to OTA lollipop I can not get tether to save my life. I've try many ways that I know and ones I saw in forums but nothing is working. I used wifi tether router app on 4.4.4 and was good but i can't get it to work now. My question is is anyone on the OTA update with tether working. I really don't want to go custom rom but if needed i will. I have root, busybox, supersu, and sqlite installer and editor. What am I missing. I never have issues with tinkering with phones but I'm at a stand still.

Did you try this? It worked for me.
I did. Thanks for the reply. I get the same results. The device will see the wifi then it says "connecting to wifi" then flip to "obtaining address" and just cycle between those two until it times out

Install, Open, Press "Enable Native Hotspot". Reboot... Enjoy.
I have hotspot now but thanks. Im on M.O.A.R rom
Wifi Tether Router stopped working for me when I upgraded to 5.0. I spend hours emailing the developer and nothing could get it to work. I used the app in the native hotspot unlocker thread and it works great except that it causes a popup saying "enabling wifi will turn off hotspot" to appear every 30 seconds to 1 minute.
