[Q] Tab2 7.0 GT-3113 wifi issue...HELP PLS

I have tab 2 7.0 GT-3113
After rooting the device I copied wpa_supplicant file to system/bin ,I tried to add ad-hoc support to connect to nokia e72
but while I was doing that I probably damaged some files in system/bin
now wifi is gone....device tries to open wifi but no response !!!
please advice what to do ((
I followed the instructions below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1083182&highlight=ad+hoc
please I need help urgently

i copied wpa file to download file then navigated to system/bin
pasted wpa file ....
after i saw it didnt work i deleted it
in system/bin i opened some files with text editor etc.....
added adb shell(by mistake) then deleted...
is there a way to reload wifi files etc ???
PLEASE HELP!!!!

up !!!

So, I wanted to enable ad hoc wifi networks, and made a small series of blunders in the attempt, ultimately overwriting the original wpa_supplicant file. My GT-P3113 now won't connect to any wifi networks.
Details:
- Wifi only Galaxy Tab 2 7.0
- Model GT-P3113 UECLK7 kernel 3.0.31-523998 SEP 72#1
- Rooted cf auto root and CWM
-Currently operational, excluding wifi, which is "off" and is always "Trying to turn on."
I had attempted to use some instructions to replace the wpa_supplicant file with one that had ah hoc network support, apparently those instructions were for a different Galaxy tablet product, and the provided file didn't work with my device.
Those instructions did make a backup of my original file, but in my haste I ended up overwriting it.
Thanks to anyone who can help!

in download mode it says:
custom binary download :yes 2
current binary:custom
should i do anything before flashing stock firmware or just flash it ??
thanks

Just flash it.
You can use triangle away later to reset count, if you need or want to reset it.
There is no point to reset it unless you want to run unrooted stock (and want your tab to be sent updates) or you have a warranty (returning) issue.

thank all for help....
just flashed it now it works fine....
guess CWM is gone...
do i need to flash CWM again or device is still rooted ??

Hasn't been updated since I don't do work on the Tab 2 anymore but it should work perfectly fine.

Here's my situation- I bought mobile odin, I rooted with kingroot, so I just need a dl link to a working custom recovery for gt-p3113, can anyone oblige?

Download GT-3110_TWRP_3.0.0-0.tar.md5 from link provided above, I'd is ever taken down, contact me, I'm subscribed
Go into Mobile ODIN app and navigate doyen to recovery, press it and then go to the recovery you just downloaded. It'll rebootandflash it, fun fun!!!
Now you can flash away the ever intrusive kingroot by flashing the SuperSU zip, figure it out yourself, we're big boys n girls.

"starting services" does not stop...on boot up

Hi all , just joined xda-developers but i spend straight 14 hours trying to fix this DAMM photon q yesterday
all i got in the end is a normal boot after following this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2001108
BUT at the startup , the screen comes like for a millisecond and then this " starting services" logo doesn't go at all...it just continues forever
any help would be appreciate .

Can you explain what your setup is, and exactly what you've done to get where you are?
For example, you were bootloader official unlocked, on CWM and asa-10, etc.
Thanks.

bootloader is not qaulified for official unlock... and its my friends phone so he gave to me since he was unable to use it.. i thought i could give it life again.. so...i don't what esle info you want but i did EXACTLY what that thread told me to do... and still the that thing does not go ..

Still doesn't tell me what you've done, what state the phone is actually in, etc.
I thought my question was pretty straightforward. Unless you provide more detail, I don't know how anyone will be able to help you.
Is this a stolen device? Why is it not qualified for the official unlock? Either way, how does that play into what's wrong with the device?
Did you have custom recovery on it? Give some details!!!

i think i am a noob at explaining things but let me try again...i don't know the exact history of this phone , my friend gave it to me yesterday and its not stolen ... he paid his insurance every month but then who know what he did... i have no idea why its not qaulified for the official unlock probably because he bought a new phone on the same line so the company deactivated this phone..
ok so when i got the phone yesterday , the bootlocker logo appeared and i was unable to do anything ...then i installed CWMrecovery and it was successfull and then i installed every possible rom available online as far as i know but same thing happened with all of them ..... successfully installed , it reboots and little square thing saying " starting services..." and then it does not go away at all ... but at the same time i am able to bring the top menu ..and go to the settings and everything from there but i can't go to home screen since ...it is black and is occupied by "starting services.."
so finally i came accross this thread for master reboot and i followed it ....i installed TWRrecovery and made backup and then restored a backup providers by that guy ... i flashed new stock recovery after that... so following his thread , he told that if all went successful ... it will return to original stock
and now i am at the same screen as previous... " starting serivces..." my friend told me he tired to root it and he messed up really bad ..so i believe there is still some old files in the internal storage from previous rom versions.... but i deleted everything......wiped, data facotry reset and then
installed a clean backup provided by the thread starter...... and everyone else had success except me ...
i hope i answered your questions if not .. i would aprreciate if you tell me what exactly you want to know ..... thanks

i also tired every US ROMS from here http://sbf.droid-developers.org/asanti_c/list.php
and all of them showed " starting services.." after i installed them from sdcard using CWMrecovery.

we have full RSD lite backups now to restore a phone can be found in this thread

You have to extract the files and edit the xml file. And you use rsdlite on your pc phone connected thru usb to write it to the phone

Reactivate in Sprint? What do you mean? Only Sprint can tell you whether the phone can be activated or not. Call them. Not sure why you would even worry about that if it's not stolen.....

Ok I think I will go in store and see what happens...

Installed TWRP on StraightTalk SCH-S968C Samsung Galaxy S III - now no OS! - resolved

I have a rooted StraightTalk SCH-S968C Samsung Galaxy S III (with the stock AOSP ROM) that I just screwed up. I had used EZ-Recovery to flash TWRP 2.2.0 to the phone. Now TWRP says there is no OS! I can only boot into TWRP - nothing else. It won't even let me power-down the phone. Is there some way I can recover from this, or do I now have a very expensive electronic brick (that runs TWRP)? I have adb installed on my laptop and I know it works, so that's one possible route to recovery. Any help would be much appreciated!

I'm pretty sure it's possible to return it completely to stock with the COMBINATION_S968CUDUAMH1_S968CTFNAMH1_1304014_REV09_user_low_ship.tar.md5 file through Odin. I just to happen to have the file right here.. small warning though, it's 1.2 gigs.

That's the file I am offering to host on my Website, since nobody seems to be able to download it from Dropbox. I'm having trouble downloading it from Mega... Since the file is over 1 GB, Mega insisted I needed to download their extension, but it's not compatible with Firefox 22. I tried Chrome, and Mega says that Chrome on my laptop is "a bit outdated"... sheesh! I'll try and update it.
(added later) - I found a Dropbox link for the file and it's downloading now.
If you want to FTP the file to my Website, let me know by PM and I'll give you the username and password.
I tried using fastboot to install CWM Recovery, but fastboot is eternally "waiting for device" even though it's there (adb can see it).
Aug. 7 - Got the file I needed, but didn't use it since Windows7 would not recognize the phone even after I installed the drivers. (I think it was an issue with automatic updates being disabled...) In the meantime... I tried the button-combo for the bootloader (which I swore I tried the day before and it didn't work), and the phone booted into the bootloader! From there, I pressed "Volume down" to cancel & reboot the phone, and it went into the stock system - it was all still there! First thing I did was immediately use EZ-Recovery to flash CWM 5.8.4.5. - Issue resolved!

In that thread go down to method 2 of getting a custom recovery. I downloaded cwm touch from the link there and then installed it with android terminal emulator using the codes that it says to type in. I tried to look up that stock rom but I didnt find it. Its on the forum somewhere in a thread about how to root the straight talk s3 and how first you need to download and flash the h1 baseband stock rom

Thanks I found the stock rom fixing it now.

I have combined 2 s3's to make one good one. This is the proper thread for the model of the chipset. The phone has been worked on buy someone who only thought they were a genious. I've found traces and from surfing the forums I'm pretty sure I know what they did even. I'm gonna grab these stock images and flash back to stock. I just wanted to put a word in now to see how dead this thread is. BTW just for the record easy safe root is achievable with safroot for Att g s 4. I've confirmed that. Root is no issue. Modem drivers are jacked up. I want what I have now with WiFi in tact and custom recovery. Just wanted to get the word in in case I hit a wall with recovery as I am now before the flash to stock. Thanks in advance for any help. Sorry for the ramble

[Q] Newb with a couple questions

I'm currently on 4.4.2. I ve been doing a lot of reading so bare with me. I'm simply getting tired of my phone, its been getting incredibly slow lately so I've thought about finally rooting and getting rid of the bloat. I should have done some roms before it was too late to get anything custom. I realize my options are incredibly limited now so I'd at least like to root and flash the debloated rom that seems to be the only one available. I found the sticky in the development section with all of the links to the only files available for 4.4.2 but when I attempt to download the root file, my computer flags it as a trojan so I can't go any further. What's the deal there? I"m on windows 8.1 so it it just my computer stating its not safe when it really is or can someone point me to a root file that will work.
Any programs that I need to download as well on my computer to flash this and anything else. I had my last phone set up well with custom roms but its been a little while so i'm out of the loop currently.
Thanks :good:

I realize my options are incredibly limited now so I'd at least like to root and flash the debloated rom that seems to be the only one available. I found the sticky in the development section with all of the links to the only files available for 4.4.2 but when I attempt to download the root file, my computer flags it as a trojan so I can't go any further. What's the deal there? I"m on windows 8.1 so it it just my computer stating its not safe when it really is or can someone point me to a root file that will work.
Any programs that I need to download as well on my computer to flash this and anything else. I had my last phone set up well with custom roms but its been a little while so i'm out of the loop currently.
Thanks :good:

Why not just download it to your phone? Unless your using Odin then I can understand the need for a pc.
From my CM11 S3

In years past I just downloaded the apk file, connected the phone to my laptop and then ran the file in order to root. I thought it had to be done that way.

Well it would only make sense for the laptop running Windows to flag a android file which is an apk file as a virus. Windows doesn't and can't open it. If it's towelroot your referring to then yea downloading it to your phone is a lot easier

That makes sense. I took your advice and just downloaded it to my phone, loaded the towelroot and rooted. Simple. Also download safestrap and busybox. I rebooted and in safestrap created a backup file. This version is a bit different than the last that I'm use to. Is there a location that it saves to on my phone ? I thought I'd copy it to my computer to keep a backup there also.
I'm trying to get use to the differences but seems fairly simple. Is there a specific method to flashing a rom thru safestrap? Or do I just drop the zip file to my ext sd, reboot, wipe and flash via safestrap? Thanks for the help.

That I'm not sure of, I'm on an unlocked bootloader. May want to check in the safestrap thread
I know a little about how safestrap works. You utilize what's called a rom slot basically making the main rom as secondary and whatever BL rom you flash as the default one

Ya its a little confusing to me. It sounds like you use a rom slot to flash a rom and keep the stock one available to switch back to if need be? But it seems that people are flashing a new rom into the stock rom slot for better battery life. But that would mean then that the stock rom is no longer available to toggle to?

If you flashed on stock slot you only have one O/S to work with and it's recommended to use stock slot for better battery life. Safestrap is using TWRP for backup, restore and other functions so when you backup you should keep your backup on your external SD card. When you select backup, you should choose external sdcard and it will create a backup in the TWRP folder on your external sdcard, then make a copy on your pc if needed. Don't ever keep your backup on your internal storage because some day you're so drunk that you may wipe the internal by mistake..lol

LRA ☆SM-G920R6☆ Root without tripping Knox Counter

Hi. I'm finally can root my SM-G920R6. I use the KingRoot.apk the v4.80 and root the phone. But it's not full root. Them I use the SuperSuMe.exe on my PC to remove all the KingRoot app and install the official SuperSu.apk The program install it's self. And now we can install the correct binary and reboot the device and don't lose root... ohh and my Knox still 0x0... =) XD:laugh: :victory: :highfive:
Links:
●KingRoot v4.80
●SuperSuMe. for PC
Sincerely I don't know if full root or not. But for me is working. And other things I don't know is full knox disabled. The SuperSuMe block the knox in one of the process but I don't know if is disabled at all or not.
I wish this can't help all the SM-G920R6 user. And don't want to avoid the knox warranty.
The only thing you can see is every time you BootUp your phone it say Custom.
The next thing I'm going to do is make a full backup with FlashFire app because mi firmware not appear in SamMoblie. If one Dev can make something with this backup for make custom roms or something good for this devices model.
my phone info:
Android Version : 5.0.2
Baseband : G920R6WWU1AOE4
Build Number : LRX22G.G920R6WWU1AOE4
Hardware Version : G920R6.02
I'm not a good English speaker so I apologize my errors..

P.S.
Sorry I'm not a Dev. this is my first Thread and I do this for helping.

This is a little off topic for the op but I really need help right now.. I rooted with CF autoroot for G920F no problem then installed TWRP 3.0.2-1 zeroflteusc also built for G920F model and in the process of trying to find a better rom as soon as I had a custom recovery, me (being a dumba**) accidentally wiped my internal storage to do a clean flash of a rom therefore deleting the only backup I had. I've only been able to find the factory binary for this device which I flashed but it had literally nothing exept for basic testing software and a simple ui to run it. It was also stuck on Android 5.0.2 but I found a compatible rom with AllianceROM v1 with update v2 flashed for the G920F but I can't find any way to update past 5.0.2!! I've been trying to find a way to update somehow for weeks but nothing is compatible with my device and I'm stuck. Would someone that has my model running on Android 5.1.1 or 6.0/.1 please install the TWRP I mentioned before and make a backup of the system, modem, efs, and boot and post it online or send it to me it would be a lot of help.

Reasons I hate you I guess ?
You are a real piece of **** and a cancer to those with A ACTUAL SAMSUNG-SMG920V.
I don't even know why you posted this here you don't even have a SM G920R6.
Seriously you just made me give up hope once again on getting root on my SAMSUNG-SMG920 on android 6.0.1 :crying:
Sincerely yours ( Another piece of **** with this **** tastic phone that dies in 3 hours and you can do jack **** with)
P.s. It also dies in 3 hours no matter what I install on it no matter on many resource manager apps I use, it just ****ing dies.
P.s.s. Sorry for swearing so much...

Because my device is G920R6 originally and i want it back the 920F rom is barely compatible with my device as is and i want a stable rom made for my build and also to enlighten others of how i rooted this phone and what custom recovery is working for me. Even on 5.0.2 and an unstable rom my battery lasts 6+ hours of constant use so root is working fine for me.

So much hate.

yeah i see now this model phone is the ugly duck....
But some one have the factory firmware of this model flashable with odin. Thanks a lot.

yeap.. but when I install the recovery the phone gave a glitch.. its flipping the touch response inverted.. and the only fix is with root. and use the app. phone info.apk for Samsung and use the secret code with root because it is blocked on the dialer.
but i have the backup for the new firmware. not the android 5.0.2
