The Offical Why My Wifi Doesnt Work Thread - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

so before any of us have to answer this question again please read this thread
so with dzo's port of the newest kernel he started including a wlan.ko compatible with the newer 2.6.32.nbh's into his builds. this left small fragmentation issue with people still using the older kernel
so when you use android on any of the phones in our project your nbh/ zImage is where your kernel is
so you have 2 options for your .nbh/zImage their are
2.6.25 (older kernel)
2.6.32 (newest kernel)
the older 2.6.25 kernels are available on dzo's site (should be a link to it in the first post of this thread) the last one he made was 26-07-2010 (what i use on my touch)
the newest kernels 2.6.32 are avalible for download from the kaiser kernel thread
if using a 2.6.25 kernel you need an update for the wifi this is attached to this post
now those instructions are assuming you have a kaiser if you have a polaris you need the wifi update for it reguardless the one for the 2.6.32 kernel that is also attached
for older polaris kernels i am not sure where the wifi update is for it but a forum search should find it easily if you know what your looking for
and lastly if your on a vogue, wifi will never ever work ever so stop asking
i think that should cover it if i missed anything everybody feel free to chime in (also if this could get stickied that be great)

Good stuff, glad to get that off your chest?

Haha does it show?

perfectly working

This should be stickied tbh. This question is one that pops up the most followed by questions about .nbh's. Such as how do I edit them, how do I use a vogue rom on my kaiser, etc.

Mind awfully if I link this in my mini-faq, since it's definitly a frequently asked question

well it's sitting at near 7000 views, so it's getting looked at
Just thought it would help keep it from getting buried

Help my WIFI doesn't work!
Just kidding
Thank you for organizing all of the answers in one place.

Sorry for bothering you but i can't install this update.
I just get "failed to extract" message after each attempt.
Hope someone can help me to solve this problem.
I've got kaiser with .25 kernel installed on it, system stored on nand and data on ext2.

Did you open the zip you downloaded or try to. flash it as is, if you flashed it as is that's your problem

Hi,
I am having problems getting any Android ROM to have working Wifi.
I have tried several different ROMs along with the corresponding Kaisimg.nbh generated using the NBH Editor and have tried applying the Wifi update after testing the 'virgin' install. Still no success.
I have an UK O2 Stellar. Could someone tell me a combination of NBH and ROM that has working Wifi (with or without the fix).
edit : just fixed by using the NBH from DZO's site instead of the Editor default.

Extract wifi update zip file.
Copy androidupdate.tgz to Andboot Folder on your SD Card
Enter Android install menu
Select Install Update
Select Fix Permissions
Quit the menu and check wifi connectivity

Sorry for pushing this thread...
I had Fat Free Rom running for some months and now wanted to switch to an newer one. But I can't get WiFi working.
I tried:
Scoot Cyanogenmod RLS6
Thoughtlesskyle's Not So Super Froyo RLS18
New KAISER ROM Valentine 1.0.2
Krazy-Killa's Kernel Release - RLS5.9.1.2 Alpha
I also updated the Radio to
1.70.19.09 and now 1.71.09.01
and suggested or newest Kernels.
Furthermore I tried ALL fixes for WiFi I could find in this forum like:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=848921
http://www.ziddu.com/downloadlink/13294643/androidupdate-unpack-me.rar (from valentine)
and of course the updated linked here.
What's wrong with my Kaiser? WiFi never worked at first offence in Android and even with FatFree I needed to fix it (forgot how I did ^^, guess with new Kernel)

did you use the update with the Krazy-Killa kernel before posting?

What do you mean? ^^
I downloaded this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=980551 and used atools to get "RLS 5.9.1.2 NBH.7z" and "HAReT Kernel Files.tar" into 1 file. Afterwards I flashed it.

im on the cache kernel 2.6.32 and im having problems with wifi. everytime i try to turn it on it says error
wifi worked fine in the super froyo, but it doesnt now that im on the dzo rom. i tryed to install the update from the cache kernel rar file and it failed to exract. its a androidupdate.tar file

The tether issue is a kernel issue.
My kernel seems to only enable tethering in froyo as well, not eclair for some reason.
If I get time I can compile you a kernel which is completely stock but with wireless tether enabled

Thanks Jacob...
That would be great jacob, thanks!
What i would really like to see with this ROM is something very similar to the WildPuzzle Eclair 1.0.1 (this rom was missing the reboot option on the powerscreen and then reboot into recovery option) but with the 3 boot screen and maybe some of the apps and obviously android wifi tether working on one of them.
Jacob says its his kernel causing the tether issue, but im sure ive ran his kernels before on my eclair wildfire and had wifi tether working, also with the standard kernel ive not had it working recently. Wildpuzzle eclair 1.0 was the last distro i had it working on if that helps isolating the problem?
Just out of interest did front button wake work in this rom, i forgot to try it when i tried the rom.
Thanks
Wifi Tether works for me on this rom. My pc picked it up straight away and got internet page up straight from the off. I don't mess with kernels and setting cpu etc so it's not that I've done anything to make it work.
Strange, it doesn't work for me with this ROM or Wildpuzzle Eclair 1.0.1? If its not the ROM what could it be? Any ideas anyone?

No luck. Just tried that along with several other "GPS Fix" apps. For GPS Aids, the XTRA (native mode) fails so I tried using it in "forced mode". Still nothing. Curious why I can't start lbstestmode.

Hmm you might have a captivate with a really bad gps .(hardware)
Where can I download v2? I'm running 1.9 now and loving it. The best battery I've had, ever. I'm getting 15 to 19 hours usage with ~2hrs display and 1-2hrs talk. The same basic setup since the day I bought it (7/10), multiple gmail accts, wifi and bluetooth on and display set to automatic.
3G problem
Hello I love the ROM. I had Fasty 2.5 but changed to Fasty II 1.9. Now my Browser dont work in 3G, yes in WIFI, also the Opera Mobile, but Opera mini works OK and other software that use 3G like Market and Slingplayer also work OK.
Thanks!

Loaded Fusion V and have GPS back. But, I prefer FastyII...
So Far So Good
I haven't had a chance to really test drive the ROM yet, but things are looking fine thus far. There is a small bug. I have the honey smoke theme. I noticed that when I go to make a wifi connection and enable auto rotate (when entering WEP key) I have to manually go into settings in order to turn it off again. The drop down auto-rotate button won't work. Nothing major. Keep up the good works guys!
App kill
3rd day on fasty.. no issues.. Excellent battery life
I miss the CM7 feature which kills the current app by long press Back button. If possible, could you please add that in the next version
I have a problem, sometimes I try to open an app and looks like crash or something because reboot the phone, was with latitude, TouchPal keyboard trying to open it and the last was trying to read a text .

Last I checked fasty 2 thread is closed, and I lack the link to dl atm. But on cyanogen you should flash to stock. And get GB bootloaders if you dont have them. Also If you dont havr bootloaders id recommend flashing jf6 or kb1 (based on your phones build). After on stock flash GB bootloaders and then flash boogs kh3 kernel, then cwm rom. Alternatvly you can flash stock kh3, but i still recommend jf6 or kb1 first.
Im not on my computer so dont have links sorry

You need cwm. The esiest way to get it is flashing boogs kh3 kernel, DesingGears cog5 step 2 kernel (kf1) or any kernel with cwm.

Try using .25 kernel with 1.70 radio. I was running into that problem with wifi not working correctly. And I use .25 kernel and it works.
i suggest to use something more recent and stable. Get this kernel pack http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=655097&d=1310674938. Unpack and edit KAISIMG-PANEL2-320-TILT0.NBH with the included ATools and flash to kaiser. Next install your choosen system and apply included androidupdate.tar (if you choose one of latest Cyanogen 6 or 7 you don't need this update)

Which ROM are you using?
Try the latest kernel (26.32) with Incubus's SuperFroyo, I have everything worked on my kaiser(WiFi, 3G traffic, camera-->pretty much useless for me, but it works)...what Radio are u using? recommended to have 1.65.xxx or later.
you should read the whole ROM's thread, usually there are list of things working, somewhat-working, or not-working-at-all...and there are the fix too(if available)...
as far as I know, BT usually the one that not working...(haven't tested the BT on my kaiser though...)

[Q] Need help going from cm9 nightly to cm9 stable

Im running a cm9 nightly.
When i saw a stable version was available, i downloaded it and attempted to flash
It got the attached pic when i attempted.
Is there any way to do it via cell phone? I do not have a computer, so this is the only option.
It should be noted i only want to move to the stable version because my GPS does not work with this nightly, so if there is a fix for that, it will be good as well.
Thanks.

From your picture it looks like you downloaded a ROM for the wrong phone. The error youre getting is the updater script trying to verify what phone its being installed to. The error is referencing galaxys and i9000 when the captivate is an sgh-i897. On cm's site its also labeled as captivatemtd in the download list.
Verify that the ROM you have downloaded is specifically for the captivate and/or download the one for the captivate and try again.

Depending on the modem you have installed it could be causing your problems. I was messing with modems one day and flashed one that gave me great signal but when I went to use my GPS I couldn't get it to lock onto a single sat.
http://soggycashew.weebly.com/cm7miui--ics-modems.html
That will take you to a rather extensive list of available modems. Use the ones that are located directly at that link. There are other options but they will not install on cm7 and up.
I personally use the ugkg3 and it works great
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA
I have only ever used CM, and haven't installed anything else, so I guess it is a stock modem (not even entirely sure what a modem is). The thing is, my GPS used to work on cm7, but once I put on the cm9 nightly, it stopped. I bent the antenna out a bit to make sure it was making contact with the battery cover (saw that on the internet), and when I turned it back on, it caught its location once, but wouldn't do it again. I guess I'll have to make a desperate thread about my GPS not.working. thanks for the help though!
I highly recommend the GPS fix flashable mod. I never had working GPS without it. An xda search will lead you there.

thnx for reading and hope an answer
[I do not know how to speak english or write it correctly, sorry for any incovenience]
It could be many things bud, need more info. How old is your phone? What kernal are you using? When did you last update your phone? What radio are you using? Have you dropped your phone? Did your phone get wet? Also your phone company may be doing work on cell towers have you tried calling them about the issue? Things like that, we need to know if we are going to be able to help?

I am going to answer you step by step: I bought my phone half use (4 or 5 months ago), Kernel version is: 3.0.16-g271fd09 [email protected]#1 PREEMPT, The last update i did was about 1 months or 2 (i downloaded the rom from htcdev.com), I do not know what is the radio exactly so i am going to type every information i found: Base band version: 20.76.30.0835U_3831.19.00.19_M, Build Number: 40.14.405.2 CL408426 release-keys, Bowser version: WebKit/534.30... No, i did not drop it never, Does not get wet neither... My phone company not even know i have an Android!
The radio is: 3831.19.00.19_M and HBOOT is: 2.03.0000. VIVO PVT SHIP S-OFF RH
If need more information just Let me know and i will provide you with it.
And i have another question: If i want to wipe the dalvik cache... all my apps will uninstall or delete? what happened if i wipe the dalvik cache?... It is just i want to run the games quickly (without freeze or not so much) and i was reading if i do a wipe dalvik cahche the smartphone entire should go faster...
waiting for an answer yet.... D; i really need help.
Sorry mate been a little busy, try calling HTC and asking them what their current radio is for your phone type and country. Otherwise I suggest getting your phone rooted and changing the kernal and if that fails try changing your Rom to a stable Rom. Withou root on your phone there is not much you can change. Only HTC can alter it.

Also it is safe to wipe dalvik cache your apps will not uninstall, only the crap they put on your phone will be erased. After a delvic/cache wipe reboot your phone, and it will come up with android upgrading. Another question when you downloaded the Rom did you do a clean or dirty install. If it was dirty (did not format phone) it may explain your WiFi issues. What Rom version are you running anyway?

I see... i am runing the rom i wrote above: vivo version 4.0.4 which was installed with RUU asistant from my PC 5 months ago (more or less).... and has been installed cleanly too (formating the phone entire but not the dalvic cache) And i got this problem recently (before, about 3 weeks i did not have any problem with wifi)... why now?
My phone is rooted already (i wrote it above too: S-Off) but i do not like the customs roms... i like the "original" or not personilized roms to my device... there are many custom roms right here (xda developers page) but i do not know if that roms get me more troubles that i have already... so i trust more in my stocks roms than customs for that...
Custom roms can be soooooo much better than stock, for one they get rid of bloatware which can slow your phone, and drain battery, and consume data. There is an abundance of info on these Rom pages, which can guide you on how to remedy any issues you may have, including hotspot issues. I think I read something on the net today about HTC having hotspot issues from their latest update. I use second sun Rom, with redux .6 kernal, radio is 28m, didn't like the 19m version. Hboot is blackrose. Second sun has everything working, no issues at all, its smoother, faster than stock and it is based on the 4.0.4 Rom, also has a jellybean switch. Try this combination. It may help.

hmmmm i am thinking about to change my rom.. but need more information for example, my htc incredible s (vivo) it is completely compatible with that rom?, how many available storage space i need? (whats the size of the rom file), i have never installed a custom rom before, so how could i install it sucesfully? it is with RUU? (Assistant/wizard for pc?).... though i think that all information i could find right here but i do not like the matter of wasting time so much (;
And... i will completely decide to change to a custom rom when the problem i have becomes a fu**ing curse to my life (lol, wich it is almost here)
Mine is the same type inc s vivo. 4ext or clockwork mod are best for flashing. I use 4ext touch for recovery/management. All you have to do is save zip file on sd card, not under any folders just on main file. About 400mb is needed for file. Then perform the format all partitions except sd card. Then choose install zip from sd card and select your zip.

i see... so every custom roms comes in zip format? it seems to be easier than i expected (; but before all, i need to choose the perfect rom i want, i would like to prove the JellyBean sense 4 in my device... but it can be unsuportted at all for the poor cpu incredible s has O; and u said me u have a good rom running in ur device... i want to know where i could find it? what sense it is? u told me about could "switch" to jellybean, i do not understand that...
could u reccommend me a rom that it is nearest to "perfect"? if u know what i mean.... i say, almost perfect or perfect to me! (smooth, fast, without freeze, insane browser, tha games i install run perfectly, the apps without freeze, you know what i am talking about) i say "insane browser" cause the browser ics comes crash and close every second and it freeze very much when playing streaming videos (at least to me) and of course a stable ROM in general, without bugs, with no erros at all!
I would check your router, maybe test on another wireless device if you have not done so already. If your using encryption try a quick test with it disabled or try using another network.

i tried it all you said: connecting my device to another network, trying to connect to my router without pass (encryption) and tried too using another smartphone (to check if the issue is for the router) and all of this it is the same result: incorrect download in everything, everywhere and every file of the entire world! (different download server) i thin changing my "RUU" to a custom rom could solve this issue! (that i hope)
Second sun or sabasa prime are fully functional.

i don't think so, I was reading the comments of the post of the Sabsa prime and some users having issues with the ROM, and the second sun I think have some bugs too... D; really it is so necesary to change my stock Rom to a custom Rom to solve a wifi problem? it is not easier to change the radio? or upgrade my kernel? .....
I am using second sun and I have not found any bugs, everything is working just fine. The first posts are there from when it first came out, before any fixes. If you would like to try to change the radio, the latest one is 19m. Can't suggest a kernal as they all react differently to different rims, its a matter of trial and error. Also if you would like to try a diferent rom, just perform a nandroid backup first, then change Rom. If you don't like the Rom all you have to do is go to recovery and recover the previous Rom. It would be like you never changed a thing. The backup is always there so you can try as many roms as you like, risk free.

Cm7 is a gingerbread Rom. And yes while it works fantastic, I think he wants ics or better.

exactly, that is it cause I have some games that doesn't work on gingerbread... I will do the back up of everything first (Nanandr... however Lol) how many free storage space I need in my SD card to do that? I will need to buy another Sd, the mine it is almost full of games and apps (every time I install an app, I transfer it to sd card) and it is full of files and crap.
first I will prove the second sun Rom, if that don't like me, then I will flash sabsa prime and will tell you how goods it is for me in both.
Someone could paste me the download link of the ultimate radio (.19M) and tells me what I have to know or how could I install it successfully without risk? (for example: what radio I need to have installed first?, the process is the same of flashing a Rom?) though I think that information provide me in the download link (the radio thread)...
You can find most of it here. Radios and kernals.
