[Solved] Fix for nonworking WiFi on Simunlocked ATT Atrix 4G

akizakian · May 1, 2011 at 2:53 AM

Hi all,

Inspired by the post made by crnkoj, Fix for nonworking WiFi on Simunlocked ATT Atrix 4G I decided to exploit this method and avoid the backdraws it has.

It worked very well for me on my 1.5.2, i don't see any problems with other versions as well.

Instead of restricting access to the settings.db file I decided to use db triggers to restrict changes for wifi_country_code.

The script (I modified the script from GladRoot4.2) can be found here

Many thanks to crnkoj, who came up with this solution and GladRoot team for the script.

DISCLAIMER
THIS IS ALL ON A BASIS OF INFORMING PEOPLE
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE, LOSS OF DATA, OR BRICKED DEVICES IN CONJUNCTION OF TRYING OUT THESE STEPS
DO IT ON YOUR OWN RISK.

Instructions for the fix:
1.Do the factory reset with non-working sim in the phone.
2.Boot and register MotoBlur with wifi.
3.Switch wifi off!!!
4.Switch the device off and insert your sim card. Power the device back on.
5.Without switching on the wifi enter your MotoBlur details again (no need for internet connection).
6.Root the device.
7.Apply fix.
8.Reboot.

You should be fine. Switch on wifi and enjoy. I had to switch wifi on and back off twice to make it work.

Best regards,
Kiza

I'm assuming this doesn't work on the Bell Atrix.

Great job Akizakian! I was looking into that way 2 weeks ago or so but i have almost no sql programming skills, so it was out of my league to do it. I think this fixes it all

I devised a better solution to this one. The problem lies in the WLAN drivers in the /system/etc/firmware/wifi/ the three binary files. I exchanged those with the driver files from the optimus lg 2x/speed and now everything works without any restrictions on the settings.db, i must test the situation if all wifi routers work with it, but i think there shouldnt be a problem, eventually someone can try to only change 1 by 1 the driver and see which one is the problem, so in the end effect the true solution would be just to exchange one driver binary. if there is interest post here so ill upload the 3 drivers i used, otherwise i wont bother, its a pretty straight forward procedure tho. oh racecar this solution should almost 100% work for the bell atrix aswell. And once the international atrix comes out and we get our hands on an international system dump/drivers we can just use that driver.

There is intrest. I tried your solution using the files in my galaxy, that didnt work. wifi wouldnt even turn on. I would like to try yours.

crnkoj · May 1, 2011 at 9:13 PM

pm me your email, ill send you the files attached. the thing is lg optimus 2x has basically the same board as moto atrix and luckyly the same broadcomm wlan/bluetooth chip with even fm radio on it....

hello,

the method did not work, tested couple of times, however wifi refused to work period, please try to check if there is something can be done to with your patch

akizakian · May 11, 2011 at 10:58 PM

Have you done the factory reset before trying this method? It will not work if reset is not done.

yes i have an atrix and ok i didnt know u needed drivers from a tegra 2. n im in Ghana. i keep getting a message on command prompt saying "bad mode" after i chmod to 755 or 0755..
thanks

crnkoj · May 14, 2011 at 9:21 AM

well do such:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system
cd /system/etc/firmware/wifi/
chmod 755 *.bin
that must work, if you copied them over properly ...
