[ROM] [6/6/2012] CM7 for the Droid Pro based on GB

[clueless77]

I have tried it on both my 64 bit and 32 bit machines...no dice on either. Thats why i thought it might be something with CM7.

My suggestion to you and to all, go back and restore your stock rooted ROM then go into stock recovery do factory data and cache wipe then sbf then wipe everything again in stock recovery, provided sbf succeeded

Okay, so i just figured out the mtp usb drivers are not a CM7 problem...after sbfing to 3.8.7 (not sure why it worked all of a sudden, but im not arguing) the driver installation still fails. sorry for the thread jack...now back to your regularly scheduled program

from 3.8.7 you run the updater to get the OTA.
It brings your system to the latest official gingerbread (version 4.6.8)
From there you can root and insstall CM7 with the normal instructions

how do u root 4.6.8 i cant find it anywhere how to?

 

[clueless77]

there is a guide in Droid pro forums for rooting, flashing roms, and sbf'ing

You need the oneclick root that's posted in the resources thread posted here.

But go bacck twice then pick the other subforum. It will be a sticcky at the top.

So I just found out that my wifi is indeed working.
The only reason I know that is because I can connect to my router through the browser.
It's just not going beyond the router.

I'm just having a little trouble identifying the problem.
So if anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.
No matter how silly it may sound, let me know please. I have this suspicion that it's something extremely simple and I'm overlooking it.

I have Verizon Fion, our routers model number is ActionTec MI424-WR

As pointed out earlier in the thread, the problem appears to be with the resolving of the DNS server in the phone. Everybody seems to be getting an IP address just fine, but the DNS servers are not resolving, and even when manually specified, it still doesn't seem to work.

 

[dutchbastard]

It has to be a communication thing between our routers and the phone wouldn't you think?
I mean if the phone can see the router through the browser, and the router is able to ping the phone then that means the wifi itself in the phone should be good.
Something is keeping the router from letting the phone go beyond it.

Meh, what do I know. I'm sure someone with more networking experience will come up with something.
We should post it in variious boards, there has to be someone that knows more about it.

I'm not a networking expert, but it seems that the problem is that the phone is not connecting to any DNS servers. This is not something that the router handles. This is evidenced by the fact that if you try bypassing a DNS server, you can access the webpage you're looking for.

Normally, when you type in a URL, the system sends a request to a DNS server, which has the information about what IP that URL name is attached to. It seems that this connection is what is broken on our Pros.

For example, I have a site f4dlighting.com. If I type that into the browser, it tells me the webpage is unavailable. Clearly, since I run this website and have a computer where the internet does work, I know this webpage is, in fact, available (regardless of the fact that I only have a basic index page up at the moment). However, I can type in the IP address of my website, (208.43.212.208/~fdlighti/), and it pulls up the index page just fine. I've tried this with a second site that I run, as well as a couple of other sites that I found the IP addresses of.

So yeah, basically, it seems that some file in the phone is either prohibiting the connection to a DNS server (possibly corrupted or something), or a file that is needed for the connection is missing.

Ah...no I haven't tried that ROM yet.

 

[clueless77]

That's what I was wondering if anybody was having wifi issues with it but its probably a shot in the dark of it being a phone issue versus a ROM issue

Yeah, I doubt it's a phone issue. I'll try that ROM after my exams this coming week, and maybe I'll try to sit down and pinpoint any obvious differences in the files of the ROM vs. stock. I'll probably be lost before I even start, though, since I have no coding experience whatsoever.
