Solved in post #2 & 3.
My wife has a Charge and I am trying to root it for her just so she can tether her laptop from her phone instead of my ThunderBolt all the time.
I used Odin v1.82 to flash the latest recovery file (0817_charge_recovery.tar).
I flashed PB&JTime Kernel from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1126136&highlight=latest+kernel.
I rebooted phone to find I had no root using Root Checker from Market.
I manually downloaded SuperUser from Market. Rechecked and had root access, according to Root Checker.
I'm running GummyCube2.0, successfully now.
I downloaded both OpenGarden and Barnacle. Neither tethering app will work. Everytime she tried to connect to my phone, it shows up as a wifi network, but her phone shows up as an Adhoc network, which will not even connect.
Any idea what's going on here? Any more information I can provide to assist in finding a solution? Any help is appreciated... I want MY phone back, damnit!

Hey experts,
I have a tf700 I purchased in US and I live in India.
I have used CleanROM Inheritance 3.4.6 US version and had no problems whatsoever. Now I want to upgrade to CROMI - X 4.6.9. However, when I installed CROMI - X 4.6.9 I couldn't get the Wifi to work. The network connects fine but I don't get internet access (and not just for the play store no internet access at all). I have tried both US and WW build versions of the ROM.
The bootloader I installed was of US version listed in the ROM's thread. I have no problems with CleanROM 3.4.6 on this same bootloader but CROMI X doesn't seem to support Wifi.
Please suggest a solution. I think I may be the last one with what people keep saying is an ancient ROM for the tab. :crying:
Can I install a WW bootloader on a tab that I purchased in the US and will it solve my problem?
What other solution is there?
Thanks in advance.
P.S. I couldn't post on the ROM's thread as I need to have posted at least 10 posts before I can post on a development thread.

You can try this:
Before you try this, please backup your system in case of bootloop.
1. Go to your build.prop and find these entries: Put the Number Sign (#) in front of the Net.tcp.buffersize, please see below.
net.tcp.buffersize.default=4096,87380,256960,4096,16384,256960
#net.tcp.buffersize.edge=4096,87380,256960,4096,16384,256960
#net.tcp.buffersize.gprs=4096,87380,256960,4096,16384,256960
#net.tcp.buffersize.umts=4096,87380,256960,4096,16384,256960
net.tcp.buffersize.wifi=4096,87380,256960,4096,16384,256960
2. Save and restart your device.
3. Boot into recovery and wipe both Caches.
4. Reboot and see if it works.
Please report back and Good luck.

Thanks for the quick response. Tried the method you suggested. Still not working. :crying:
While I installed the WW build ROM the locale in the build.prop file still shows US should i change that? the bootloader is of the US version btw.

Go to your Wifi setting and check to see if you have IP Address assigned to your tablet. If not, you can set it as a static IP to your tablet on your router instead of dynamic. If it does not work, then it is beyond my knowledge on this matter. Somebody can help you out, sorry. :crying:

How do I do that? I see that my tablet's MAC id is shown as connected to the router. How do I assign an IP address to my tablet?

Man do I feel silly. Especially becuase the problem seemed to be that of DNS. Changed the wifi network to static IP and set the DNS to google DNS and viola! worked like a charm. Thanks for you help LetMeKnow and _thats. You guys rock.

Hi guys, I'm wondering if anyone can help, as this issue is doing my head in!
I recently got a new Motorola Pro+ but unfortunately it doesn't connect to wifi. It attempts to connect for a few seconds and the comes up with "Error."
I've tried a lot of things to fix this like, removing the sim, removing the sd card, trying the wifi fixer app, reflashing the stock rom but nothing works.
Can anyone help me with this? I'm will to pay $40 (Paypal) to anyone who can provide a working solution.
Phone details:
Motorola Pro+ MB632 (Bought new)
System version: 55.1.1036.MB632.Retail.en.GB

Basband version: 5.5.1Q-110_ELW-TA-36
Kernel version: [email protected] #1

Thanks,

Dial *#*#526#*#* into your phone's keypad. It will show a message "Driver Loading*Successful*. If this is the message that comes up on the screen, than wifi should work now fine.

Should have posted this in Q&A Forums.
But have you tried switching your Router to G standard and connecting?
Also try to connect your Laptop to the Internet and then tether your connection using softwares like connectifypro etc.

my just be a firmware problem, try reloading firmware. There arent many fixs for wifi, but I had a evo 4g that had the same error, reflashing the firmware fixed it.
Change the kernel or clear dalvik cache. Not sure, but maybe it will help

Its a hardware problem then, which means theres no fix other than a trade in. Do you have root? If so, usb tether it with you pc. Should be able to use it then, but you wont be able to use wifi unless its plugged into the usb

Turn off your phone, go to recovery, wipe cache and wipe dalvik-cache.

Try changing your wifi password authentication type
First keep it to open(remove the password) and see if your phone connects to the wifi
If it connects,then change the password to WEP or WPA type

Hi Have you tried Setting Static IP
To set a static IP, you have to go to Wi-Fi settings and go to menu > settings. Over there, you can specify your static IP address, default gateway, subnet mask and DNS servers, or change the encryption type.

take usb debugging on and from the computer write adb logcat > namehere.txt and upload the logcat somewhere we might be able to help you
and if its brand new and you got warranty you should really consider to go to the service center and let them repair it for free, if it worked when you got it doesn't matter unless you haven't rooted or anything or installed a new rom (which may lead to warranty loose) but if its completely stock and nothing changed you should be good to go for a repair. also if you installed any official rom make sure driver modules for your phone is there sometimes there's been a miss and someone might not added it.

Thanks for that, because the phone is pretty rare in the UK I ordered mine from a Korean seller on eBay. It took like 2 weeks to arrive including $40 delivery. Now to return it will not only cost about $40 again to send back but it will be a hassle, take ages for replacement or refund so I thought I'd rather pay someone here to help me fix it than send it back.
I'm not too good at technical stuff so can you please tell me how to do the logcat thing?
Thanks,
Dan

Well, Putting myself in your place, the first thing I would try is boot into recovery and wipedata/ factory reset wipe cache.
restart and check again.
if even after that It doesn't work
flash firmware through odin.
although I would not be dealing with this problem directly cause I don't know what exactly is causing this. So the easiest part, flash.

I am uploading a whole zip file with everything that would hopefully return the device to factory default. my upload speed is pretty bad and its already an hour maybe another 5-6 hours and it should probably get uploaded. as soon as it get uploaded I will update my post and will share with you all.

Even after completely flashing to default through odin, I would say don't flash anything more. its not the software's fault
There are 2 things now
Your router settings. for this there are many things that could make problems
1. First Check wifi password and be 200 percent sure that you're entering the right password.
2. Check at another place, another wifi. I also had trouble connecting at my friends wifi, it would keep returning with authentication error, but the same device connected to mine router without any error. (I still couldn't confirm why it happened there, I suspect my friend had blocked my device in router settings or gave me the wrong password)
3. Forget network, turn off your device, turn off your router, then turn on your device and your router , open wifi in device enter password again and connect.
4. Make sure bluetooth is off and only wifi is on.
5. Check if your Mac ID is not being blocked by the router (find MAC address in your device settings-wifi-advanced) enter your Router settings >>wifi>>MAC Filter disable the Mac filter.
6. Go into your router and go to advance and under wireless go to wireless card list and click set up access list ...add your device with the mac address.
7. Reset the router.
8. Change the security settings on the router, from WEP to WPA2/WPA or vise versa, change SSID name as well.
can connect through WPA push button?
9. Try changing wifi channel to 5, 6,7,8.
10. there are few app in play store that say they can fix the wifi issues one such app is wifix, try them too.
Even after going through all this it doesn't work, then I feel there is a chance that wifi module is at fault and the part would need to be replaced.
there are whole lot of people on the internet that have faced issues and are facing issues with the wifi be it any device,(same goes for the wife ) Guess it has a mind of it's own too.
Well best of luck.
Ok Thank you very much for your help....
I already went through what u suggest before to post my 1st msg...with no luck.
What i find strange is that i'm not even able to connect to an open network..and
still i believe that it has nothing to do with the hardware....
Auth error on an open network is weird....anyway...
THX

I'm facing the same problem ... authentication problem occurred... even on open networks.
flashed stock rom
still problem exists
Hi guys,
Just looking for advice/knowledge really - Scowered the net/xda but unable to find a clear answer.
I have a number of devices all on MMB29K.G930FXXU1BPKD and when I try to do software updates, it prompts that I need to connect to WIFI, issue is, I don't have wifi nor the option to tether another phone.
Any advice is appreciated.

The scenario is, I have no wifi, nor any internet connection other than the device.
I don't think its gonna be possible to do the update OTA as its gotta be my carrier thats restricting it.

Where in the world are you that you can't get access to a PC with a net connection for enough time to flash a ROM?
Friend, Library, College, School, everyone knows someone or somewhere with net access and a PC
or at least allow you to download what you need and copy to USB / DVD so you can flash at home on your own PC
