[Q] Kindle Fire wifi won't turn on at all

hey everyone,
I normally don't post on here because I find the info without needing to, but I can't find this even with google fu, any help appreciated
Problem: Wifi won't turn on
ROMs tried: Orignal Kindle ROM, CM 9 (hashcode make), CM 9 (Energy mod ICS)
Other notes: My methods worked on my other KFs, but not this one.... however its an older version. I was sure to make everything factory default, wipes the two caches, and out of frustration from TeamWin deleted everything on the flash and system (except TeamWin Obviously). I have the Android SDK setup to interface with the device, so if you need me to hit it from there let me know. Everything else works, but a wifi only tablet without wifi is useless in my book.
Thanks once again for any help I will go back to google fu'n and head to wall bashing

Well can you mount your sdcard in twrp? If so transfer this to your sdcard http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439916 wipe everything except your external storage and flash it. Maybe this will help isolate whether this is a hardware issue.

hmm

Thanks for the quick reply, will give this one a shot and hopefully it works
Edit/update:
I can mount the device in TWRP, however it will not mount when I boot the ROM. Also adb is apparently not running on the device? Did these commands:
adb kill-server
adb device
and device not listed.

update: got a terminal emulator on the device while I waited for the download (I already had the apk). One thing peculiar is it cant find wlan0... which I can on my other one. Also usb is still a no go unless from TeamWin. Still waiting on the ROM.

final update

ROM flashed to device, kept having Google android process fail and restart causing major pains... so I couldnt even check the wifi. Using the Kindle Fire Utility I reflashed Gapps and rebooted, it locked up, so I wiped the caches and whatnots and put the ROM in Factory reset mode from TWRP. It looks like for sure the wifi NIC is fried... going to have to just send it back and have them send me another one... one final thing is I am downloading the latest factory ROM for this device and flashing it with it to see if that works, and if not then the people I am sending back to wont know the wiser lol. Thanks for giving ideas nonetheless yall!

Did the factory ROM flash correct the issue or still a no-go for WiFi?

Hey guyz.. i solve the issue!..
if your system version is lower the the the latest version:
just download the update img in amazon kindle. using PC. then copy to kinlde directory..and after updating the wifi works..
if latest version:
downgrade the kindle using KFHD_SRT_v1.2.3.zip and a fastboot cable.
then apply the above process.

[Q] Help!! Firmware gone and PC doesnt recognize my M9!!

I installed recovery to root my HTC One M9 yesterday. It seemed like I made some mistakes and now my firmware is totally gone and my computer doesn't recognize my phone anymore. However I still have access to recovery and I want to know if installing a Rom via SD-card is possible or not. If not, what should I do? Any help will be very appreciated. Thanks!!!

What recovery do you have access to? If it's twrp then yes you can load from sd card.. Have you tried an RUU for your phone? That should work as well.

Hello! Recovery I installed was PhilZ Touch CWM. I'm trying right now! Thanks.

Hi .. I think I made things confused a bit. What I meant by SD-card was external micro SD-card. Thanks!

Not sure what you mean by firmware. This is what you need to do:
Install the latest version of adb. Go to recovery, turn on sideload mode.
in cmd prompt-> adb sideload *location/name of rom.zip* e.g. c:\users\xxx\rom.zip
Restart and bam you are done

Does the computer recognize the phone in bootloader/fastboot/download mode? If you can enter recovery and download mode, then your phone is probably working fine (except for not having a working ROM) and your computer should see your phone on some level.
Are you using WIndows? I think you might need to get your device drivers on your computer working. Check Device Manager if you're in windows. With your phone connected, you should have 2 devices. One should be under a section called Android USB Devices (might be called My HTC) and the other is going to be under Portable Devices section (might be called HC One M9). If you don't have both, then you need to work on your driver issue on your computer.
Edit: Sorry if this is blunt, but since you seem to not really know some very basic terminology, i recommend that you do a LOT of reading on this forum so you can have a better understanding of what's going on with your device and how to solve your problem. I know you might feel like youre in panic-mode because your device won't boot, but you're going to get into more trouble if you just start trying a bunch of "solutions" without having any understanding of what you're doing. I know, because I've been there before.
Edit2: Also, it would help to steer you in the correct direction if you listed your location and carrier info

Actually, the beta version 2.8.6.4 is not recommendet anymore. Captian_Throwback now recommends using the official version 2.8.6.1. (Sidenote: The version number of the official one is lower because the numbering of the beta version is unofficial.)

[Q] Cannot copy item (USB) SOLVED

SOLVED
My device is working properly until this moment that when I connect it to my pc, it only reads the storage,I can access both internal and external, view images and whatsoever, but when I try to copy a file into it. it says " The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected" . I don't know what happened. I tried formatting/factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik, changed USB cable/port and I even flashed to stock rom. I reinstall the samsung drivers too but no luck. This happened after I flashed a custom rom (CM 12.1) but like I said, I flashed again to stock rom but nothing happened. I tried to plug in my Phone and it works properly.. any help?

Hi! I had this problem on my Tab S. No matter what I did it would say the same thing! So what I had to do was change my USB cable. Certain ones aren't as fast in which causes this error. Samsung stock cable or using a fast third party transfer cable solved my problem.
Another way is to disconnect my micro usb from my Tab S and stick it in my pc (since the micro SD came with an SD converter.) I would transfer my files over to my SD then disconnect it and stick it back in my Tab S. Those are my two solutions.

Hi, I figure it out now. I don't know what could be the exact problem but I tried to flash again CM12.1 and its gapps. USB problems are gone, its working normally now. Maybe you should try flashing a ROM too and see if it would fix the problem.

[Q] Need help unbricking

This is practically a cry for help after i searched for hours.
Model: Sm-n910P
Software version : Unknown
Android : 4.4.4
Baseband: Unknown
build: PVPU1ANK2
Stock recovery
(if anything else helps just ask)
Problem first: My note 4 has no network of any kind (wifi doesnt start , doesnt recognize sim card )
When i try attaching a usb cable i get Device is not recognized (checked drivers, cables so its software and it's the mobile)
The only communication with the device is via the SD Card.
Tried flashing a stock 4.4.4 via stock recovery. Nope! It says Update from external card is disabled.
I'm looking for a way to root , or flash anything.
Every thought, suggestion, idea is welcomed.

Never been OTA updated to lollipop OE1? That one doesn't allow downgrading to older versions.
Device not recognized with USB in what mode and operation? Security protocols for KitKat and Lollipop are restricted. Device should be recognized in custom recovery or download mode. Did you try Odin? Power down, download mode and flash the NK2 stock tar. If you're still having problems ##786#. Still having issues, try the NIE stock tar. Make sure you power down before flashing stock tars. Link to KitKat tars mentioned above; follow OP, post 1 for instructions.

For root, you need CF Auto Root for Note 4. You can also try TWRP Manager for custom recovery. It's in Google Play. But you don't have to root to flash in Odin. Samsung KIES is alternate method for restoring factory firmware or updates but some are confused by the serial number request; not recognized. Haven't tried it myself.

Tx for the reply.
Device is not recognized in neither mode (normal, download or recovery).
I tried ##786# but i dont know my msl and i cant find a wy to get it (im outside the US so the phone is not activated). I tried some "msl reader find my msl" programs but they cant get it. Any1 has some apk that may work in my case?
As for the flashing as I stated all I need is a way to flash stock but i cant get the PC to recognize the phone so im stuck.
EDIT 1 As far as I know never been updated (bought the phone in ebay)

I don't know if there's anything that can be done but get a refund. Sounds like you bought a brick. Was it always a brick?
Did you try another USB port? Try the rear port. If not, try a hard reset: wipe cache and dalvik and factory reset and try to reboot. Long shot would be a hard reset and OB7 update.zip; unless it's completely stock, the update will be rejected. But I'm thinking that can no longer just be placed on external sdcard. That may have to placed on the file system as if the phone downloaded it, itself.
It's safer to hard reset. If not rebooting to normal operation, time to pursue a refund.

So I was thinking about the situation you're in. I recalled the phone can be unlocked to use internationally on 3G only. Is it unlocked? It would also
need to set your carrier APN/Access points to get data.
If you own the phone, Sprint will give you the MSL number. Sprint can help unlock it and there's also this method but I don't know much about about it. There's also the hard reset method that can be done within settings.
Here's a method that was requested with a pledged bounty. But try Sprint first.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...print-samsung-unlocker-unlock-sprint-t2928250
My initial impression was phone is bricked but not sure if a locked phone's WiFi is bound to regional USA that would cause WiFi connection issues? It's still possible the USB issue is not using a USB 2.0 port or a bad cable. It may not be bricked. Try reinstalling driver and/or another PC.

Well I tried everything u mentioned , full factory restore, wipe everything. I even tried update from external (since stock has no option for updating from the internal sd) but i get an error (update from external storage is disabled). The phone is practically a brick for the network part but I'm not sure I can return it back in the states as I'm in Europe. Any way i can root via some apk ?

I didn't think the root is possible without Odin for either the custom recovery or root.
eBay return practice would be to notify seller of issue. If no response, contact eBay.

Wouldnt the entire phone be soft-bricked (not just the network part) if you did the factory reset and wiped your phone but cant get the cable to recognize your phone on your pc ???
Or is that your current situation?

Well everything but network works. I can install apk's from sdcard, open apps etc. Next thing is the screen just got black and is not giving signs of life (didn't do anything it was charging) so it's going in a repair shop. Thanks everyone for the efforts. Case may be considered closed.

Need some Help PLEASE OP5T

sooo I decided I want to go back to stock, I'm not as technically inclined as I use to be and just want a normal phone I can just easily to updates on .
Currently TWRP - I tried to sideload the .zip but adb says cannot read file (I have tried both 32bit adb and 64bit adb) doesn't seem to effect it any.
I cannot find my files in TWRP so trying to load them from there doesn't work either..... I have put the 2 files the oem stock and the recovery img on my phone but internal storage says 0mb. I was able to manipulate it to finally come up and read info off the internal storage but the files are still not there, yet when I bring up my phone on the computer the files are both there.
can anyone please help me im frustrated and have spent hours trying to fix this and im hitting brick walls......

Have you tried using the unbrick tools? They are made specifically to return your phone to stock, though it gets wiped in the process
