[Q] Wifi issue on latest update

I have recently been sent the update to android 4.4.2 on my note pro however my WiFi will not connect now.
I've tried restarting the device and it keeps saying "network connection unavailable".
has anybody else had a similar experience with this device?

Use search, here are couple topics about broken wifi after update. Factory reset should fix it.

Hi!
Have you got Passpoint running?
This might be a totally different issue but if a factory reset or reflashing doesn´t help you might try looking here.

Elo

I have the same effect!
A full reset won't fix this problem. I contacted Samsung support and the said that I should send them the tablet.

A reset usually isn't sufficient, you need to reflash the firmware.

I fully reset the tablet about 4 times and it suddenly works.

Hi all!
I have exactly the same issue.... I just updated my Note Pro LTE (unrooted) to the latest firmware and I also do not have access to wifi.
Could you please help me? I read in this thread that by reflashing might solve the issue, but since I am not so experienced with that stuff on Android (hence the reason I never rooted), could you please provide detail instructions what exactly I have to do?
Thanks a lot for your great help!

I eventually made a factory reset and after everything was finalized, wifi was running again fine. All my apps from play store were installed again automatically and everything seemed to run properly!
However, when I woke up this morning, unfortunately the same issue was present. No network connectivity and all available wifi networks were marked 'not in range'!!
Thus, it seems that factory reset does not solve the problem... Therefore I searched on google how to reflash my tablet. This is the link that I found:
http://androidcentral.us/2014/02/how-to-flash-firmware-using-odin-samsung-devices/
Could you please confirm whether this is the procedure I should follow? If yes, which update should I use? The latest or the previous one, i.e. P905XXUANH3 or P905XXUANC3?
Also, will Knox be tripped if I flash the firmware?
Thanks a lot for your help and I look forward to your responses!

Yes.
I usually direct people here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/guide-odin-flash-guide-t1671969 (It's for the S3, but the procedure is the same everywhere. Make sure you get the most recent version of ODIN. The three buttons have different names (Bootloader/PDA/Phone/CSC are now BL/AP/CP/CSC), but the order is the same.)
If yes, which update should I use? The latest or the previous one, i.e. P905XXUANH3 or P905XXUANC3?

You can't downgrade, so use either the one you already have or a newer one.

If you use the official firmware for a country in your region, No.

Thanks a lot ShadowLea!!
Eventually there is no need to reflash the tablet....
The only thing I just did was to uncheck the Passpoint option, as Polar67 describes above, in the Advanced Settings of wifi and immediately the issue was fixed!
Thank you all for your great help!!

Interesting.. Let's remember that solution for when someone else runs into it!

Recovered from boot loop but constant crashes with older ROM

I am helping a friend to get his One Plus One 64GB to work again after an OTA update broke it.
Initial Problem
Two days ago she started an OTA update which made the phone reboot constantly before even android started. Basically it showed the logo for about 6s then vibrated and restarted again. I later found /o/Android/data/com.cyngn.fota/cache/cm-12.0-YNG1TAS17L-bacon-signed.zip so I assume that this was what was installed.
The phone is completely untouched otherwise. She has no computer knowledge whatsoever and says she didn't give it to anyone.
My attempt
I was able to install cm-11.0-XNPH33R-bacon-signed.zip and cm-11.0-XNPH22R-bacon-signed.zip via sideloading. The phone started ok but was crashing all the time. I am not able to get into settings to activate developer settings (adb) because the crash notifications hinder navigation and after about 10s the whole gui crashes and I see the black screen with the hexagon loading logo. The latter firmware is worse meaning it crashes at a higher frequency.
The Problem
She didn't expect any problems and does not have a backup of her data. Thus I can't do a factory reset or use fastboot.
Question
Did I use the wrong ROM? There seem to be many variants. I haven't found any information which explains the differences.
Could I maybe flash a minimal ROM that would not crash to backup the data and than do a factory reset?
Is there any way to activate adb access without having to navigate to settings?

I've experienced your issues as well when helping another friend out, try using a newer version of cm11s, something like 44S /44R (i dont remember what it is) or 05Q, those should not have the issue and everything should work fine

Jst flash a newer modem in recovery

The problem here is that you flashed an older build, going backwards like that is what's causing the crashes. Grab the latest build from here:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347802356
Flash that and hopefully you'll be ok.

That won't help, flashing an older build than what was previously installed without wiping properly will cause problems.

Actually this is what I did in the very first beginning but I encountered the same rebooting symptoms like after the OTA update. Since it didn't seem to change anything I didn't mention it. I used cm-12.1-YOG4PAS1N0-bacon-signed.

Any other ideas? I am about to unlock it with fastboot but really would prefer not to delete all user data.

Should I be worried about my device being remotely accessed(hacked)?

Long story short.. I believe my Galaxy S5 runing CM12.1 is being hacked by an individual I have upset.
Symptoms include:
-Gmail account password changed(not by me)
-SMS from email addresses, spam.
-SMS from random numbers with random characters (vs6ve&$+ugevbs)
-Root icon in status bar wont turn off anymore
-Recent task list showed my system files being accessed by my file manager app when I did NOT access.
-Tons of FC's from all kinds of apps
I have wiped all possible partitions in TWRP 2.8.5.0 and reinstalled newer CM12.1 nightly.. No change.
Changed my cell number, wiped, only enable root when needed, and contantly disable mobile data out of paranoia..
STILL got 1 text from random number with random characters on first day after changing my number and wiping..

Never seen/head of anything like this before but my advice would be to flash your device back to stock using Odin and the stock firmware for your phone. That should wipe it completely and remove and kind of root access that a malicious program could be using. If it continues then all I can think of would be to perform the above procedure and keep the device off until the person you think it is gets bored and stops.
It does sound very strange though as I haven't heard of anything like this being used on average user devices after being wiped.

Good idea about stock firmware. Although after re-rooting I would be just as susceptable to another intrusion as I am now..
Considered staying with stock TW for encryption too..
I just want my AOSP! =(

I know how you feel wanting AOSP but when I said flash stock I meant full stock with no root. At the end of the day it's worth it to be able to safely use your phone if you're being targeted.

Your device can only be hacked if you have physucally installed spy software on your phone

Solution:
Install a DIFFERENT recovery (or a different version, your current one might be infected or the stock recovery)
Wipe everything.
Pull SIM card out.
Install OFFICAL STOCK ROM via the OFFICAL flashing tool.
Don't use your phone until you change your number or mobile operator.
DO NOT ROOT!
Use this app to check if your phone can be hacked via Stagefright: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zimperium.stagefrightdetector&hl=hr
Profit.
If you are still getting hacked burn or boil your phone and make sure to video tape it, upload to YouTube, and post link here.

There is no way to do it without root.
You could just root, set density and unroot, but then the program you are using to root (iRoot, KingoRoot, etc.) might infect your phone.
Also remember to have USB Debugging ALWAYS disabled (if you are not using it) and download apps only from Play Store.
This is completely hackproof (unless StageFright Detector detects that your device can be hacked).
(Make sure to always update your frimware to the latest version.

Done, done, and done, thank you.

I thought after all that.. it would be ok to install twrp, then CM again.. fail..
Just got a notification that my sim card is invalid. Exact time coincided with my verbally denying home internet access to said hacker..
Wow
After reinstall sim card is fine

Something else to remember: There aren't *any* Android
phones out there that are 100% impervious to all the
Stagefright attack vectors. Not even the latest Nexus
devices running the latest Lollipop 5.1 varieties.
My supposedly SF-patched Desire 816 is still vulnerable
to 4 possible SF attack vectors!!
I was worried about possibly having been hacked
via my baseband, but visiting the links you supplied
has probably shed a little light on how I was 1st
hacked.
You've really gotta love Android to put up with all
the security holes!

Oneplus One OTA System Updates not working. Shows no update.

Hi Guys,
I had recently updated my Oneplus One to 5.0.2 through OTA system updates. Now I wanted to update the same to 5.1.1 (i.e OS 12.1). But the problem is that I am not able to see the system updates anymore. It says the System is up to date whereas it's not the case in reality. It also asks to update cyanogen recovery, which I ignore. Attaching the snapshots of device for your reference.
The device is NOT rooted. I tried switch OFF and Switch ON multiple times. I also manually force stopped the System Update app, cleared it's cache, disabled it then enabled it. tried all combinations for the same. But no luck.
Can someone please advice what should I do to see the system updates as usual the way I was seeing earlier? Thanks for your help.
Its seems images are not visible. I have raised the same question on OPO forums. Here is the link to see the images: https:// forums.oneplus.net/threads/oneplus-one-ota-system-updates-not-working-shows-no-update.500862/

Thanks a lot for this information. In that thread, its mentioned that "there are two different versions of some OTA updates." In such a case can I go ahead and install any of the zip file? I will be downloading the incremental updates which are similar to System updates. Please let me know.

Thanks a lot for your reply. I actually have that app and it shows me the new update for 5.1.1 too. But the issue is when I first tried to update thru this app from kitkat to 05Q update, it somehow messed up my device. The zip installed was somehow corrupt due to which the installation had issues. Thats why I am actually worried to take that risk again.
That screwed up installation thru that app was the reason why I switched to OTA system updates which updated from 05Q to 5.0.2 lollypop. And now I cant see cyanogen system updates as it seem to have died.
Are you sure that app has no issues at all? Have you updated till 5.1.1 or 6.0.1 using that app? Please let me know.

Thanks a lot for your help man. But flashing and factory reset will wipe the mobile data I guess. I don't really want to do that. I need to keep the mobile data intact. Also, will it be advisable to jump from 5.0.2 to 6.0 directly? Or should I go incrementally only?

I can also see the full update option. But if I do full update directly, will it wipe all data from my device? I am not sure about it. Can you confirm whether your data was wiped when you updated from Kitkat to the latest marshmallow thru this App? That would help me decide. Or if anyone else can confirm the same, that would also help.

google play uncertified after update to B225

anybody seeing uncertified device in google play after upgrade firmware B225 in mate 9 Chinese version? it was certified in B213

Interesting. I have the same for B225. What does this mean?

not sure, maybe because of the integration of GMS into the FW but so far all gapps work fine without any issues, v8.X supposed to come out yesterday or today so hope it will update without any issues.

May be its a reason that Android pay stop working on this firmware.
Anybody know how to fix this?

haven't tried it yet but you are correct, some gapps will only work on certified devices

This is a bug of Google or Huawei? Google support can't tell me anything about it.

I am think that firmware not official.

Perhaps you can contact Google support for help. Good luck to you.

anyone got this fixed? been thinking about doing a factory reset and reinstall gapps from scratch but not sure if will work or if its better to wait for a new fw update from huawei whenever that happens

This has been the case for me on the last several releases. I have not experienced any difficulties or even change whatsoever. I don't use Android Pay though.

i did in b213 but now I cant also photos and contacts dont sync automatically in the background unless I open the app other than that everything works as expected

I have the same thing installed on the MHA-L29C432B193 via FunkyH, I have had it several times before and over time, and no problems in the applications or their updates have caused it.

Same here on 193. It is because firmware is not certified by Huawei jet.

I had just rebranded from C567B190 to C432B193 (for the frequent security updates as it seemed like it was getting updates every month), and now Playstore says uncertified and Google Play is refusing to work, stating:
"Android Pay can't be used on this device
This may be because your device is rooted, has an unlocked bootloader or is running a custom ROM..."
I hope you're right about this, arminbih, I'd hate to lose the ability to run Android Pay because of what I did and I'd hate to have to do another factory reset.
My phone's bootloader is locked after the rebranding script finished flashing the official B193. Did the recommended steps, 2 script runs and factory reset, but I hope nothing was messed up during the process. I should've backed up the original partitions in TWRP before proceeding with flashing. Oh well.
Anyone else have a clue?

193 is unstable, force closes some apps, and camera does not work in RAW mode. I suggest going back to 190 or before, they are certified.

Thank you for your reply. Off-topic question, would you know if it's easy to go back to 190 without losing data?

Thank you for your reply. Off-topic question, would you know if it's easy to go back to 190 without losing data?

Search "firmware finder" on play store and forums. You can upgrade downgrade as much as you like via official upade changing dns.

I had just rebranded from C567B190 to C432B193 (for the frequent security updates as it seemed like it was getting updates every month), and now Playstore says uncertified and Google Play is refusing to work, stating:
"Android Pay can't be used on this device
This may be because your device is rooted, has an unlocked bootloader or is running a custom ROM..."
I hope you're right about this, arminbih, I'd hate to lose the ability to run Android Pay because of what I did and I'd hate to have to do another factory reset.
My phone's bootloader is locked after the rebranding script finished flashing the official B193. Did the recommended steps, 2 script runs and factory reset, but I hope nothing was messed up during the process. I should've backed up the original partitions in TWRP before proceeding with flashing. Oh well.
Anyone else have a clue?

I too had B193 installed, and Android Pay wouldn't work. SafetyNet basic integrity passed but not CTS Profile, and probably because of B193 being uncertified. Went back to B190 now that it's certified and Pay works again and SafetyNet passes on both checks.
I have previously used updates the day they were released on hwmt.ru and they have worked fine with SafetyNet, even when it said uncertified. So this might be something new.

That's great to know. Thank you.
Were you able to downgrade without a wipe, and if so, what method did you use?
I've been messing with FF and the proxy method but no dice so far.
