So I'm not sure what I did because it's been a while since I messed around with this phone (bought a Honor 8 Pro after that), but I most likely flashed something wrong. So the first weird thing is that apparently my device went from "griffin" to "sheridan", not sure how that's possible. The second thing is that when I flash a stock ROM, I have no wifi (it doesn't detect any network) and in settings it says my IP Address is unavailable. I tried nearly everything. Resetting WiFi settings, rebooting, reflashing stock ROM etc. Nothing seems to work. Help please?
My phone says sheridan too when i boot in bootloader mode. Anyone know whats os this?

Most likely you have flashed incorrect firmware. But this problem is common even with locked/stock devices, possibly could get fixed in the next update. The problem is that there is no way to downgrade firmware (otherwise this can be fixed by flashing 7.0 stock rom including firmware)
Downgrading the Firmware isnt a problem. Downgrading the bootloader and gpt isn't possible. Anyhow, my wifi and BT are broken too and going down to 7.0 and than installing all OTAs won't fix my issue.

I'm rooted, stock ROM (locked bootloader..for now)
The other day, I couldn't connect to wifi, it just hangs on 'obtaining IP address', tried different routers, restarting phone/router/modem, I even did a factory reset, which didn't help.
What I think caused it, is when I installed this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mgranja.iptables
(it claims to install iptables, but the version is has is out of date, etc.) which wasn't a great idea, I know.
my question is, how do I fix it? I'm thinking it corrupted something in the OS, which means I can just install a custom ROM, or go back to stock (somehow) but I don't want to unlock the bootloader unless I absolutely have to (giving this phone to a friend, soon)
Hi all,
I've been happily following the progression of ROM developments, since I got my P7510 (P4WIFI) and sampling a variety of ROM's up through the versions of Android. I recently upgraded to a 4.3 ROM and developed a problem...I could connect to wifi as always, but could not get internet access (wifi connected, but no browsing, play store, weather apps, etc.).
I worked my way back through a number of recovery backups, knowing that in all of them I didn't have this problem, but it remained.
In desperation, I unrooted and returned to stock and the problem was still there! I found a .pit file for the 7510, re-partitioned, formatted the partitions and reloaded the stock ROM...still no change.
Can anyone point me to a solution? I've googled myself stoopid on this one...
Cheers,
PF.

Try to toggle airplane mode on then off..not sure if it will work on our tabs...but it works on my epic 4g touch..this is just a work around though.
What stock did you return to...
I'll look around and see what I can find...
My first thought was it's a router issue. I've had the same thing happen to me and in the end all that was needed was a router reboot.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried the airplane mode on/off, but it didn't help.
The stock version I'm on is Build number IMM76D.XWMPF (P7510XWMPF_P7510XSAMP1_HOME.tar.md5)... I believe the correct one for my country...? Not sure if that's a red herring, though. The problem occurred going from 4.2 to 4.3 and has stuck with every restore and rebuild I've tried since.

Tried the router reboot, no dice. Also tried connecting to different WAPs and the problem remains. I tried connecting to my SGS4 as a portable hotspot, which was working fine previously...identical problem...
Good day,
I have a samsung galaxy s3 i9305 LTE and I have been using this device without problems for around 2 years now. It runs on Jellybean 4.3 baseband version i9305zhucnb1. It has been running on this firmware for a couple months now ever since it has been rolled out. The problem is, the WIFI suddenly stopped working. Never had this problem before and I actually never had any problems with this device ever. Whenever I turn on WIFI, it detects my home networks and other networks wherever I go but whenever I try to connect, it just shows saved secured, and sometimes authentication error after a couple of attempts. I have other WIFI devices at home and all are working perfectly. I tried forgetting the networks and I am positive that the WIFI password is correct. I tried to restore the device to facroty settings hoping that it would work. I tried accessing my router and I'm sure my device isn;t blocked. I even configured my routers to only accept the mac address of my device and block all others but still wouldn't connect. I tried rooting my device via odin but my device blocks root access and shows the error message "an application attempted to access system on your device without authorization. this attempt has been blocked.". I tried rooting it to try flashing custom roms. I also tried dialling *#0011# to configure my wifi but it still does not work. I don't think that the problem is my firmware because I had it for months and it didn't update before the issue occured. I was also about to try downgrading it to an ICS stock rom since I can't root it to try custom ROMs. I've been trying to fix this for days now. Can you guys give me a step by step instruction on how to fix this if it is at all possible? And maybe give me a link where I can download ICS or lower stock ROM's for this device. I think I have to use a TGY firmware, though I don't have an idea what it means. Thanks!
Wifi module
Maybe you've dropped your phone and the WIFI module loosened, and it can't work correctl?

Maybe it's time for factory reset? I know that's the easy solution and most complicated but you should do it from time to time.

Well, i think this may be the time to perform a complete factory reset ! try backing up your data and perform a complete factory reset.
nope
already tried factory reset, already flashed stock rom. already reset wireless router and the router is a non-issue because i tried on several networks.

i decided to have it checked by a local technician and according to them, this was still a software issue. i dont know what to do anymore. they insisted that i should just keep flashing stock roms to fix these. already tried flashing the 4.3 tgy jellybean stock rom so i was thinking of flashing other version stocks. can anyone give e a good link where i can download tgy stock roms 4.1.2 or even ICS stock roms. I also am having problems with rooting the device. it gives me error message "an application attempted to access system on your device without authorization. this attempt has been blocked." after flashing autoroot in odin. my knox is not installed. thanks.

dont know
the first time i brought this to them is when i attempted to flash an incompatible firmware. they also did not fix it. they said they dont have any available stock rom for i9305 and told me to download and flash one. mayba im just gonna have to look for a different technician when i have free time. so for the mean time, im trying to look for other fixes. btw, i tried downloading a tgy 4.1.2 stock rom and it does not flash successfully. for now i'm thinking of rooting and flashing custom roms. but whenever i flash auto root. it gives me the error message "an application attempted to access system on your device without authorization. this attempt has been blocked.". i tried updating supersu still the same thing. i manually installed root checker and says it does not have root access and it shows the said error message again. what should i do with that? Thanks
Hi guys,
I have Tmobile LG V10 H90120j which its Wifi MAC address changes on every reboot.
Long story:
It was originally Lollipop, I updated to stock MM v20e then v20j. It was still OK after that.
Then I tried to root it using tungkick's method. However, the bad luck began, I forgot to change the Process to Upgrade instead of Refurbish when upgrading the TOT file. The phone bootloop to TWRP after that. Big thanks to @tungkick, he helped recover it.
I realized that from then the Wifi MAC address keeps changing on every reboot. The phone also cannot automatically get APNs from provider (I have to manually add them).
The really bad problem is the MAC issue. Only registered devices can connect to my home and my company Wifi networks. I can temporarily workaround by manually changing MAC address on rooted ROM after every reboot, but it's not an actual fix.
Factory Reset or Restoring to stock v20j can't help.
I did some search and found that some others also had the issue. Some said this method also can fix it: youtube . com /watch?v=8ejnFB5i5o8
But I can't see any nvram folder in my device.
Anyone has any ideas about fixing this, please help
Thanks.
anyone?
I have this with the T-mobile LG G5 H830 that is rooted on 20j (Nougat) with the dm-verity patch applied as well. I have 7 days left to return the phone). I also cannot find the nvram file/folder on my device (I am searching my LG G Pad 8.0 X to see where it is at via Root Explorer).
You mentioned you went back to stock (in TWRP, did you format the system and data directories and wipe the caches before; I ask because if you did not, I was going to do that, then re-stock).
My only other guess is the bootloader unlock would cause it (but then my LG G Pad 8.0 X is bootloader unlocked and doesn't do this). There was a CM7MAC.zip file (which I know is supposed to be for CM rom but I wonder if that fix would work for us).

Been months, I cannot recovery my memory well. But I might not format the system and wipe the caches in TWRP before going back to stock. Still having the issue, and applying workaround after every reboot .
Bootloader unlock is unlikely the cause, cuz I rooted another H90120j (my cousin's) after that. I followed strictly the guide and made no mistake. The phone's still working well now.
Well I think you can give it a try. Looking forward to your good news
My 13th day is Saturday so I am going to get T-mobile to exchange it for a new one (since about 1/2 the posts on this topic says it's a hardware problem with certain chipset mac addresses and I hope that batch of phones that WA gets is different than the batch that HI gets) and reboot that several times before I leave.
I only found out I had this problem since Shaw Cable use MAC address for the 10 devices include in the Shaw Go wifi (wifi public hot spots) and when I put the original address in while still in HI, then got back to Calgary (after a couple of reboots had occurred during my trip) noticing Shaw would not auto-connect like it does on the other devices which are all rooted and sim unlocked (LG G Pad 8.0 X, Samsung Galaxy Note Edge, Moto X Play).
If not for Shaw, I would have been none the wiser until I got an employer that only used MAC address and by then, I'd be stuck with the phone.
I notice that this problem allegedly was based on a chipset and/or the Android software itself (there doesn't seem to be a consenus one direction or the other) when I googled this (and subsequently found your post on XDA). I have had several generations of Samsung Galaxy S and Note Series as well as Moto Triump (Sprint), the LG G Pad X, and Moto X Play and have never seen this phenomenon.
Since you say your cousins device is working well and you did the same thing with it as with yours, I suspect it's a hardware fault in our devices. I already returned a V20 to Freedom/WIND since that bootloader is locked and no root possible (will try to get T-mobile to give me the V20 instead of the G5 since I have to go through all this drama; the Freedom V20 was rebooted more than 7 times on purpose and no mac address change occurred).

Hi everyone,
I have a really annoying issue for a while and I hope someone can have a suggestion.
When i turn hot-spot on, my phone freezes and reboots itself, so i cannot use this feature, however if I connect it to my computer i can share my data by Bluetooth.
More annoying issue, if I try to connect to wi-fi when my data is on, it freezes and reboots again and after that I can connect, but if I disconnect somehow, it reboots again. When I turn the airplane mode on, there is not a problem..
Has anyone of you experienced such issue?
Thanks
Sounds like a corrupt system, probably network driver or baseband
SInce you don't mention anything else I suppose you're on stock ROM , still locked bootloader, no magisk and all that. Simpliest way if your not familiar with ROM and boatloader handling is probably to do a total reset to start with followed by an update. Xperia Companion can be used.
If you're famiiar with ROM handling you may get the latest ROM from XperiFirm which you flash with Newflasher

Hi pergoteborg,
Thank you a lot for your concern.
You are right, I am on stock ROM. I have tried to do a total reset, but it didn't work.
Moreover, I am living in Italy and using Tim Italia, few days ago I was in Austria and in there I did not have any problem when I connected to an Austrian operator. I tried with a different TIM sim card in Italy, it was same. I will try with a different operator as well, but I have not had time yet.
Does it pop up anything on your mind about what could cause such a strange problem?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
