Note4 fails to optain IP address on wifi at work

Hi guys,

My stock note4 on 5.1.1 doesnt connect to the wifi at work on the 1st floor where my workstation is. It does connect easy on the ground floor.
My laptop and ASUS tablet connects easy on the work wifi.
As a result i have to bring my own MIFI device to connect over my own personal wifi contract with Telkom.

When i try connect on the work wifi it says "obtaining IP address", then says "failed". But i can connect when im on the ground floor.

It did the same even before i upgraded the firmware OTA at home.

What could be the problem?

flashing B532 fails

Hey all,

I flashed B316 to my H60-L02 and removed root,

Then i extracted B532's images (Boot, Cust, Recovery, System)

All sucessfully flashed except Boot.img

the error i get after flashing boot.img under fastboot

Quote:

target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes sending 'boot' (10272 KB)... OKAY [ 1.078s] writing 'boot'... FAILED (remote: flash write failure) finished. total time: 1.106s

I have flashed boot.img from multiple versions many times on my H60-L02 without ever seeing this problem. so i can only assume theres something wrong with B532's boot.img, i have tried extracting it again and same problem

Tutorial-If flashing fails in ODIN

So, for anyone who tried to flash, let's say the Nordic version over, let's say the French version of 5.0.2 firmware.
This should work with all firmwares.

This is what I did.
I had 5.0.2 installed, French version. I downloaded the Nordic Generic Version from SAMMOBILE, and decided to flash it over the French version.
So, download complete, now it's time to extract the files from the downloaded package. Ends up in error, file corrupted, but still after I press cancel on the pop up message, it continues to extract the tar file.
Ok, open ODIN, connect the phone [ Samasung Galaxy Alpha G850F ] in download mode, insert the tar file in ODIN and press START.
After the flashing is done, FAILED at the last line [ flashing hidden image ]

At this point, the phone won't start and on the screen it shows a message that I must flash a ROM with Kies, because there is no OS installed.
Now, I put again the phone in download mode and flash with ODIN - CF-Auto-Root-slte-sltexx-smg850f.tar.md5 [This is the file that roots the phone]
I put the phone again in download mode and flash with ODIN - recovery.tar.md5 [twrp 2.8.7.0]

NOW, and only NOW I let the phone restart. After it restarts, it is upgrading all the apps, and after the Finishing Boot message, it boots normally, I go through the set up guide and check the firmware, and of course it is : G850FXXU2COI3_G850FNEE2COI1_G850FXXU1COI3_HOME [ Nordic version ]
Of course I knew that I have other firmware since the set up guide started by asking me to choose the language, and the first selected was ENGLISH, not French.

That's it.
Good luck.

Sammobile 5.0.2 tar fails after nand write

Trying to downgrade my Metro s6 from rooted 5.1.1 with twrp... back to 5.0.2 which I've always done on every Samsung phone ... some reason even the official sammobile tar fails in odin after nand write.
Is the s6 not dowgradeable?
You should be able to flash any tmobile s6 tar onto even the metro version ...
I've even tried deleting the .md5

Memory Damaged message, won't reset, recovery mode fails (red triangle,Android down )

Hi, I've searched hi and low for help, but can't find anything that seem to apply to my phone or case. I have a Canadian Mobilicity S3 model SGH-T999V that just bricked itself. Everything is official other than I unlocked it to switch to Wind: Binary Count = 0.
The Story: Last week (Tuesday Sep 22nd 2015) The phone restarted a few times for no apparent reason, then the next day errors about missing files started to pop up to the point that I had to reset the phone to be able to use it. Start fresh all good for a week, then one restart yesterday (Sep 30) and this morning I have a screen that says: "Device Memory Damaged - the data partition has been corrupted.you need to reset your device to factory defaults.this will erase all your date. (reset device button)" I press the button nothing happens, so I take out the battery, leave it while at work, then try again: same thing - I try to reboot into recovery but fail: I get a down android with an open belly cover and a red triangle picture for a bit and the phone reboots back to the damaged memory screen. I can get into the download mode, but Odin doesn't see the phone.

Any advice on how to proceed from here would be greatly appreciated.

I've used Odin before on my Nexus S, but that was many moons ago, it's dead now...

Thanks in advance.
