The wifi on my Samsung S3 GT-I9300 device won't work. It just toggles on/off/on/off when I attempt to turn it on. I purchased the phone with the following already installed on it:
CWM
SuperSU
Android Version 4.2.2
Kernel Version - (says here in the about screen) 3.0.31-611730
Build number - Omega v45 - XXUFME3
I've done a LOT of searching here on XDA but I just find myself lost in a world of information. I found a video on youtube, but it's for the S4 and doesn't offer links to the correct files for the S3. Some have told me flash a new ROM and other a new Kernel, but because of version numbers, and not wanting to brick this phone... i'm not sure where to start...
Please would someone be willing to help me out? I am living in Honduras and the service I use is prepay here.. wifi is a HUGE money savings for me here. Many thanks to whoever is willing...
If it is an i9300 then download a stock firmware from sammobile that will work in your country (3G signal). Follow the guide in general forum on how to flash. Factory reset in recovery before first boot.
Test wifi before you install or restore anything, if still the same then it's a hardware fault.

download the stock rom from here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=31792 it's from switzerland, but has the latest built number so it's the newest for your device
Flash it via Odin3.09

Thanks for the direction!! I downloaded the file, however when I attempt to open it with WinRAR i'm getting this error message..
"! C:\Users\Heather\Desktop\I9300XXUGND5_I9300AUTGNE1_AUT (1).zip: Unexpected end of archive"
I did an internet search for other places to seek out firmware for a GT-I9300 4.2, but so many results come up speaking to a leaked version of Samsungs firmware. I'm not sure that's a safe route to take...
any ideas on what I might be able to do?
have you flash it via odin?
you can get the odin here https://mega.co.nz/#!UdRRyCAT!H4FyVxYynNWvXqRNmnpMGQRCP-dG3uykgP2pT4rh8Ek
for detail you can watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVLyjeqPtn0

Unexpected end of file means you have a corrupt download. Just download the firmware file again. If all else fails, look for a post in the S3 General thread regarding a complete back to stock method.

Ok...
So i've successfully flashed the stock ROM file that was provided to me in the link above by "Tkkg1994"
The versions and software in my phone is all different than before, but the wifi still won't turn on. I click the button to turn on wifi... it thinks for about 3 seconds and then just switches back to the off position.
Any ideas what might have gone wrong? or what I might be able to try now?
Thank you so much for all the help up till now.. I hope i'm giving out the right amount of thanks and credit to you all. I really hope I can resolve this!

Wifi is related to kernel if you have changed roms ( which also changes kernel) then most likely it is hardware fault you could try flashing just a custom kernel and if the problem is still there then it is most likely hardware issue.

Yikes. Two words I was definitely hoping it was not.
Well.. I suppose it couldn't hurt to attempt a custom kernel, so the next question would be... any advice on which kernel I should attempt, and how exactly do I flash a kernel?

You need a custom recovery(Philz touch), flash it through odin. Than download googymax2 and copy it to your sd card. Than enter in recovery mode and flash the kernel.

Maybe a clean new install of your rom? In philz touch recovery select "clean to install a new rom". than install it. after that, wipe cache and dalvik cache

Ok here it is,
Im reading and reading about the rooting.
I tryed to synch my tab with kies to root my tab following this THREAD but it doesnt work
So I posted about it and someone suggested me to check the LOOK HERE THREAD instead
I have a p7500 16gb 4G(well in fact 3G++) and wi-fi (p7500ruxkh4)
Im in canada (quebec province) and am with rogers
data plan, locked sim
honeycomb 3.1
kernel is 2.6.36.3
Now i want to use some apps like titanium backup and some others that need a rooted tab and thats it. I dont want to change kernel or rom or whatever else.
In the LOOK HERE THREAD, there is 2 different P7500 rooting method, one for the 3G and one for the 4G.
On my box and in my "task bar" its says 4G but for what i know, its more 3G++ than real 4G, So WICH one of the tuto do i follow ?
Also, at http://www.samfirmware.com/ i cant find the stock firmware for my p7500ruxkh4
That mean that if i do wrong, i wont be able to recover as brand new. Any clues of where to find it ?
Now about CMW and Odin, since i just want to root, do i have to dl thoses programs ?
Also in the UNROOT tutorial, you guys talk about the filesfordummies, but for what i read, this file is for the p7510 and not for my p7500 right?
So if i want to UNROOT my P7500, what are the proper steps to follow ?
I know, theses are probably noob questions but after searching on the net and this forum, I couldnt find any clear anwsers so i think i should ask you guys first instead of trying and brick my tab.
There is 5 bold/underline questions. I hope some of you have all the anwsers.
Thanks in advance for your help
1. IMPORTANT: in the look here thread use the root package for the 3G model
the 4G/LTE version will cause your system to bootloop
2. DO A NANDROID backup of your stock install -- then you have that to go back to.
3. Team Overcome have a great guide and package: stock for restore and clean purposes, CWM for root usage and a very nice custom rom: see here
4. if you want a custom kernel, there is one by Pershoot and the modification by rego here which plays nice with Overcome and matches your 7500 very well.

I was wondering if you backed up your Stock Firmware? I am using some Europe firmware as of now because I was one of the unlucky who used the 4G unlock.

well, i rooted my tab and used rom manager to backup my actual rom. i dont know if it can help u.
another thing, i changed the hosts file in /system/etc/hosts to avoid ads in games or app.
since im not rally used to all this stuff, tell me if there is something i can do for you, and if so, ill help with pleasure
If you backed it up just after you rooted it should be okay, I should be able to load your Backup to get my rom back to normal and then Factory Reset to get it all cleaned off. Let me know if there is a way you can email or dropbox it to me in a pm.
It would be awesome!
check ur pm, if it work, just click thanks
Thanks alot. I'll click thanks and personally write a thank you note.
Just so you know you're likely to be asked to help other Canadians as well. As the firmware is apparently hard to come buy.

I've had no luck with wifi ever since I started trying out ICS builds.
So far I've restricted myself to leaked official builds. The phone just can't hold onto a damn wifi signal even when kept right next to the bloody access point.
Every few minutes it disconnects. Sucks when you're trying to download a huge update for a game.
I don't know if there's an official build out for India, I'm using DDLP8 which was marked as for Nepal. It's definitely stable, but wifi connectivity is totally useless .
I use Wifi Analyzer, and it shows up signal strength as pretty good, using automatic channels, and usually it latches onto channel 11 or 13. My other devices at home have never faced any such problem so it's definitely not a router problem.
Is there anything else to check for?
Edit: I'm using XXLPQ, not DDLP8 (which is the baseband version). My bad.
not familiar of ddlp8 as cant find it as sammobile / intratech
why dont you skip the leaked firmwares and just use the official ones.
also complete wipe your phone flash a GB stock and dont do anything else ...., no root no restores and see if it hold wifi.

It appears DDLP8 is a modem/baseband version. Not the build version. That's why you couldn't find it. But I'm just guessing. OP will have to confirm or deny that.

Yes, you're right. I am using XXLPQ for Nepal, after reading that the official Nepal build works fine on the Indian version of the S2. Sammobile still does not show any official build for India. Does this make a difference?
I saw the problem moments after I had flashed the ROM and rebooted, i.e. with a clean phone set to factory defaults (and rooted) - so I doubt it's due to any other program interfering.

Wifi drivers are in the kernel, I believe. What method did you use to root? Did you flash a kernel to achieve root? Try flashing a new kernel, or flashing a stock ICS kernel and see if your Wifi still drops after that.
Well, you can also give a try by flashing your baseband/modem itself and see it will be any better. You have few ones in this topic, all flashable via CMW :

I'm fairly certain modem/baseband has NOTHING to do with wifi, so I'll have to disagree with you on the possibility of it fixing his problem.

I could be mistaken (I will admit that), but I have changed modem/baseband and seen no effect on wifi. I have changed kernels, and seen HUGE effect on wifi. So that's just my experience.

Ok, thanks for your links mate, at least i ve learned something. So, he can also give a try by testing different kernels then.
still having issues, you have to do some work..... flashing kernels is not the solution! it should work as is!
1: using cwm format system, cache, data, dalvik
2: flash one of the newer GB Stock Roms get one from intratech, using odin.
3: dont root just see if it works without doing anything, keep it stock. no restores nothing
if it works, it will work on ICS too now.

Well, if you re-read some of the posts above, he said he rooted, but didn't say HOW he rooted. If he rooted by flashing a kernel, then that could be what is screwing with his wifi, depending on WHICH kernel he used. So flashing a different kernel MAY actually solve his problem.
To my experience this problem is most likely related to the kernel you are using. The latest siyah kernel supposingly rectifies this issue. Why dont you give it a try?
I did and saw a big difference...

Sorry for the late reply - this time I replaced the stock ROM with DragonROM and Siyah 3.1 Rc1, and now the problem is..less frequent.
Hi, I have the same problem. My wifi keeps connecting and disconnecting multiple times even in a minute. I am on stock India ICS4.0.3. ddlp4.
After downloading SteVEs Custom Kernel and ROM for my Galaxy Player 4.0 I got it stuck in boot loop by accidentally holding down the volume and power button. I used this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1472897 to fix it, but now I have another problem. The clock app and all of the Samsung widgets don't work. I get this error when I try to open the clock "The application Clock (processcom.sec.android.app.clockpage) has stopped unexpectedly. Try again". I can open any widget that isn't from Samsung, but the Samsung widgets give an error and won't work. Is there any way I can fix this? Do I need to download a different ROM? My device is not rooted by the way. I have tried to search the forum for a definitive answer, but I haven't come up with one. I'm sorry if I missed it. If someone could help me out I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

Thanks but I already found this thread. It gives a new clock apk, but there's no fix for the widgets. This is what one of the posters says "Well as expected it DOES fix the issue with the clockpackage. The problems with the widgets still remain. At least we officially know that this version of "package_us2.3.5.tar.md5" is corrupt (or it could be a poorly modified version). I wonder if we should report this to the rest of the fourm that the so-called official firmware for the YP-G1 models is corrupted." Is there a different stock ROM I can download that isn't corrupted?

Try the factoryfs.rfs from my recovery thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531850
If you're using odin I think you can download the kwipper's rom but the download speed is really slow.
Thanks. Do I need to download Heimdall to use your factoryfs.rfs? If so it would be easier to use the other rom you mentioned because I already have odin. I'm currently using STeVES Kernel 3.0. Will that be a problem? I'm sorry I'm asking so many questions I just really don't want to brick my device. Thanks again.

You can try to use the other rom but you will not be able to use the 3 button combinaison (download + recovery) and you will lose everything too. This is why it is better to use a separate partitions. (just follow the instructions and don't repartition.)

Hey,
some more information would be useful Which android version do you have? Phone rooted? Which Rom?
Either way, try this: Go to settings --> applications --> all --> camera --> clear data
Maybe that will help already..
Yes please let us know which rom and kernel you are on.

Like mentionned above, please tells us which rom, kernel and if you flashed any mods. Many things might affect the camera, so it;s hard to help you with only these information. :good:
its 4.0.4 stock ICS

Well, only one of your screenshots works.
I'd flash back a stock firmware and see if it works. If not, reset the flash counter and send it for service, should be covered under warranty. In fact, that's probably the first thing you should have done instead of flashing custom kernels.

well i would be glad IF I COULD find any fitting original STOCK KERNEL but the closest one i have found is 4.0.3 version and i dont know if it fits and wont make problems .
( i was told to take the ZIMAGE file and its the KERNEL but when i take it out of rar file the ODIN does not recognize in the PDA category so im clueless what to do )
second of all the dude who sold me the phone did not registered me as the legal owner so now its as if i dont really have any warrenty
mmm so i cant really use the companey service .

I said firmware, not kernel. The firmware will contain the kernel.
mmm

If you want, it won't hurt. And depending on the state of your eMMC chip, it may end up being safer for you.
You can also find all firmwares (including 4.0.4) at www.sammobile.com.
Since you're on 4.0.4 though, make sure you do not do a full wipe/factory reset from recovery before flashing.
thanks

If your phone is "sane", don't worry about what I said regarding wiping. That was only a concern if you had a phone that was classified as "insane".
Awesome

some things got better .
it was a problem the bluetooth did not work the youtube app did not work

I (somehow) managed to achieve root privaliges on my Galaxy Core Prime Cricket variant (SM-G360AZ) this morning. Since I've had this device, I've noticed there is little to no information available on, well...anywhere. Is anyone aware of any working custom recoveries that are available for this device? I am a dedicated flashaholic and I would like to know if there are...before this phone ends up in GCP heaven...lol thanks...

How did you achieve root?

Did you ever upload those files? I could really use them!!
Problem with cricket core prime
turns out that all of the twrp releases i tried didnt work, didnt have a backup of original recovery, so i flashed this one from g360p with same firmware baseband and now recovery works again.. I hope this helps someone.
yea i did but due to permissions
