[Q] wifi error / sd not mounting - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

G1 wifi has stopped working and has 'error' listed underneath wifi option in wireless setting...
Also, the sd card doesn't mount... what's worse is this problem is intermittent..
I'm currently using FroyobyLaszlo 5 and the problems are both still here.. I was using cm6.1 for awhile and eventually tried a couple other roms, but the wifi error and sdcard problem carry over thru each flash. I forget which rom i flashed to where the wifi function broke.. I've flashed back to the cm6.1 2708port nandroid backup I saved (which was the last working rom where I had working wifi) and still the wifi error! I've tried a few different kernels as well and still nothing..
Can somebody help me get these fixed?? ..thanks
hboot - 1.33.0013d
radio - 2.22.28.25
recovery RA-dream-v1.7.0
UPDATE 1: I began to re-flash the original tmobile nbh image in order to restore the phone and start all over again, but now I'm stuck with that image flashed and can't access fastboot on the phone anymore.. The phone probably needs to be re-rooted now, but I can't access wifi (which means I can't sign in to google in order to get to the phone's desktop and then perform the root procedure).. Now I can't flash anything!! HELP plz???
hboot - 0.95.0000
radio - 1.2.12.29
UPDATE 2 - Ok, I got everything (hboot 1.33.0013d , radio 2.22.28.25, laszlo 5.1 rom) flashed back to the G1 again, but the wifi error persists and so does the intermittent sd card issue.. I think the sd card problem may be hardware related..sometimes It'll work for a minute after I remove the card and re-insert it, then it'll stop working again..
*edit* Can someone or has someone already made a patch to disable the function of that little trigger inside the micro sd card reader on the g1?? That little switch that pushes in when u close the sd card cover.. Apparently, this might cause my sd card to not function, so I figured that somebody may have made a patch to disable this and make the sd card work outright without that little button inside needed..

First, try a SuperWipe. Sometimes junk gets left around even after a wipe through recovery that causes very weird problems.

I haven't heard of a patch to do that. It might not even be possible if it is implemented in hardware. You could try opening the phone and modify it to always keep that trigger closed, as a last resort.

ok i'm gonna try to flash superwipe2 but atm the sd card isn't readable even in recovery, so I'm gonna have to play around and hope I get lucky and the sd mounts in order for me to flash superwipe... if/when it happens, i'll post an update..

finally managed to superwipe AND re-flash laslo 5.1..
the g1 still has the wi-fi 'error' and of course the sd only works intermittently.. I lost count how many re-boots and how many times i re-inserted the microSD card until i finally got it to work long enough to flash it this time
so what files are involved in the wifi anyway?? Can I manually replace a driver perhaps?... or something?!?

The wifi kernel module is located at "/system/lib/modules/wlan.ko". This really sounds like a hardware problem if it is occurring in recovery too. Have you tried ROMs other than laslo? Try a stable CyanogenMod or BiffMod ROM.

thnx , I'll read up on this..
and also, I've used cm6.1, 2708port cm 6.1, and sparksmod rom 2.. i had biffmod installed for like a minute or so before i switched to something else due to the wfi error.. maybe i could try it again, I can't remember if there was something else wrong with biffmod or not, but I do know the wifi issue carries over thru different roms.. pretty much on all these roms I've experienced lag, fc's, broken apps, battery drain, and now the wifi problem and sdcard problem..

so can I download and replace the wifi kernel module with any one I can find? or does it need to be a specific one? I still need to fix wifi... thnx

No, the wifi kernel module has to be built specifically for kernel. You can try flashing a different kernel (with a wifi module) though. Here are some to try:
2.6.35.11 by Pershoot: http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=1563
2.6.34.8 by ezterry: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11565574&postcount=670

for 2.6.35.11 pershoot, I get the 'failed' error when flashing thru recovery.. i used the nfs_32b_radio2708.zip
for 2.6.34.8, I've flashed and rebooted and still the same wifi error =(
Is the "wifi module" already included in each kernel zip?? Or do I need that too??
thnx

Read through the whole post again. That isn't the kernel.

It is included with the kernel.

a user on another forum posted "Could you guys check if your wlan kernel module is loaded? Open up the terminal emulator, then su to root and run 'lsmod'?
For me, I get 3 modules now: wlan, ramzswap and ipv6.
When it was broken for me, I didn't have wlan."
well I don't have wlan listed either, even though i have the wlan.ko file in /system/lib/modules...
EDIT: finally got 2.6.35.11 flashed and installed, but still same wifi error =(

I have just developed this problem as well...on one of 7 phones. I have taken it back to 29 on 2 ocassions, bringing it back to ezterrys gingerbread. at 29 I get wifi error.... at cm6.1 I get wifi error....and at GB also get wifi error. Looking in logs, I see (in RED) 00:00 00:00:00.000 E/WiFi Service (132) on next line (also in RED) Failed to Load Wi-Fi driver.
Reading thru these forums..I see a few folks having this same error....but no one seems to have a fix.
Can anyone shed some light on this topic...
Thanks a million.

Thank you

i think i saw someone saying its becuase missing wlan.ko in system/lib/module
where can i download wlan.ko ? i downloaded some roms and unziped it to see if they have it but all of them have bcm4329.ko
(im running nxsense1.26)
yes, i have the same problem. Get "error" enabling wifi or wifi mobile AP >:|
Try downloading and flashing one of the kernels listed in the NXSense thread... this should fix this issue...

i downloaded the one that says older wifi driver
and now i can turn on the wifi it just says unable to detect wifi? i think then turns off.
i tried reflashing (with wiping out everything) to cm 6.1 then back to nx sense about 5 times..
wont work..
any other suggestion
how do i use ODIN to go back to stock Like Completely / wiping out everything
because i came from Galaxy S, and when i used Odin to go to froyo (internation galaxy s ver) then odin back to 2.1 (US galaxy s version) it fixed the problems that reflashing couldnt fix.

Something very wrong with phone. (Apps die even after clean new roms)

Hello I am quite worried about my phone.
After a little while with a new rom installed widgets will FC and stop working and some apps will disappear (and if on home screen you see default image and clicking it it says"Application not found") This usually (if not always) happens after the phone for some reason thinks it is the first time it has been switched on and goes through the initial setup (asking about language, setup accounts, wifi etc)
I first noticed this happen when I had darkys 9.3(i think maybe 9.somehting anyway) and when I replaced the sim all the above occoured. Reinstalling the apps didnt fix them and most apps FC.
Since then I have tried many roms and most seems to get this affect after some time. I was using some 2.3 roms and they were great but didnt have bln + very bad battery so they had to go. I'm currently on a romkitchen rom and it was fine for a while then after a restart it did the initial setup thing again and most things are broken again.
Anyone know anything about this?
Any suggestions on what I can try?
Thanks
Try killing the rom that caused the problems the usual supect once again .
Flash to stock Eclair via Odin with pit 512 and repartition checked .
If thats ok upgrade to Froyo .
jje
Ehh, that sounds a lot like the Internal SD issue. Try a stock 2.2.1 rom with a recent modem and see how that goes.
Can you suggest any roms/modems? I'm from UK if that makes a difference.
Btw the most recent rom was all the newest stuff from the rom kitchen. I feel like there is something that is not being wiped from my phone on a reflash even though I have installed different roms/modems/kernels. I have even deleted everything from my internal sd (the bit you can see when plugging phone into pc) The only thing I haven't wiped is my external sd, could something on that be the culprit?
Oh also as I installed this latest rom no gallery app was installed? I thought I might have just chosen the wrong option in the rom kitchen but does that mean anything?
EDIT - Could it be this RFS corruption issue?

Should I follow these steps or is there a newer method?

[Q] My most interesting problem ever

Hy everyone!
I have found a very interesting problem regarding my kaiser130 and android...or maybe the problem is in the user?
Anyhow my problem is that no matter which android build i try,no matter which kernel and which radio i dont have working wifi and data connection.
At first everything worked fine but then i had some problems and i didnt have time to fiddle around with android because it wasnt too stable and i had many FC-s so i had to go back to winmo.I had 6.1 on it before,have put on hardspl3.34 then started flashing android and after that i put back winmo from a shipped package with ruu . Now i have more time and i started to experiment with android again.I wanted to use cyanogenmod 6.1.2 but had the wifi-error problem but as i saw many other people had the same so i thought i'd go back to another build,namely incubus26jc's super froyo rls16 i used that for days but then when i had to use the apn or wifi it didnt work...or actually wifi worked but only with static ip,i tried switching kernels from a base one downloaded with atools to clemsyns and scoots but nothing worked for me better yet it even got worse it started producing the wifi-error again.I use the most recent radio tried both the emo version and the atw to no success tried installing both to nand sys on nand data ext2 data.img but nothing seems to be working and now no matter which build i try everytime i get the wifi-error and apn isnt working.Can it be that my bootloader is tarting to fail?Or is my kernel getting corrupted?
Oh and i always applied the appropriate module updates for each kernel.
Can somebudy suggest something useful or i was thinking that is it possible to very hard reset the phone i mean to put it back the way it was?Format the nand put back a normal spl,i dont mind trying thing again but i need the data connection and the wifi.
Oh and i forgot to mention the most interesting thing,when i turn on data it actually turns on and in the modem i can see that it even gets an ip address from my phone provider.

GalaxyS i9001 CM9 WiFi Problems

So, i Figured somethings wrong with CM9.0 alpha7 for the i9001 and that's something i've searched loooooooooooong enough to understand actually NO ONE has had this problem.First i had alpha 4 and with some searching in these forums i figured alpha 4 had wifi problems entirely.Then i downloaded alpha7........ thought my problems would go away but............. when doa clean install without the SIM inside my wifi works pretty good,but the moment i turn my phone off,insert SIM,and enter the PIN, my wifi...like,disappears on it's own.NOTHING WORKS!!!! i'm desperate to keep CM9.i even tried to wipe cache and dalvik cache and fix the permissions inside ROM MANAGER and form CWMR........NOTHING!!!! even got that dhcpcd fix thing that someone had posted,didn't work. and it's not just my home's wifi,i can't connect anywhere!tried rewriting wpa_supplicant file and the other stuff related to wifi(can't remember)with that wifi fix .zip fil manually, by flashing, using the files on other ROMs,NOTHINGGGGGGGG! WiFi only works with a clean reinstall of the ROM and WITHOUT SIM inserted. even tried with a SIM that had no PIN, same thing. i even downloaded AOKP,flashed, doesn't even boot.i don't wanna go around downloading every ics ROM i see so PLEASE give me a fix!!!

[Q] After using the phone -> No connection and phone shuts down

Alright, I have very strange problem on my phone.
It happens when I browse the internet with my phone. Suddenly, I lose my connection. Then the phone shuts down. When I open in again it has 1-4% battery and still no connection.
I have no idea what the reason could be.
I've tried to change rom but it didnt help. From 4.0.4->4.0.4 (currently)
Thank in advance
I'd like to add to OP that my phone shuts down after long use, I dont have to be at the internet.
Does anyone have any idea?
Hmmm.. which rom exactly did u have and do have at the moment ? Btw morjes, suomesta kans:silly:

Moro.
I had SlimICS first, then I changed to XI9000 -style ROM.
But I dont think the problem is because of the rom, as I didnt have the problem first on SlimICS, but then suddenly it just "appeared".
Should I try to change the modem?
Weird.. yes, i would try to change modems, if that doesnt work i would maybe try a re install of the rom.. btw which modem are u using? I want to use xxjvu because i get a better connection with that but i get the roaming sign after installing it :X

I had JVT.
Alright, I flashed JVU now, the phone doesnt turn off anymore. But still it loses the connection, which basicully means I have to restart my phone.
Can you recommend any other modems? (modems that work in Finland)
Well, the one on my sig works good.. but that doesnt sound like a modem issua at all, i think u might have to try and install a new rom.. i wpuld suggest a FULL wipe and sd card formating before u do

Yes, I think you're right.
Im going to flash 2.2/2.3 with odin and format sd-card, after that I will flash again this 4.0.4 rom. If it doesnt work then I have no clue.
Thanks
Yes, that sounds right. Good luck!
Alright..
So I flashed Darky's Resurrection Edition Android 2.3.6 with Odin (repartition+pit+pda)
It didnt help, phone still shuts down.
Now I think Im going to backup my sd-card and try a 2.2 Rom.
could be battery related
Hi,
you've probably solved your problem by now, but just in case, here's what I found researching this issue (I have the very same problem):
This seems to be happening to various phones (although, SGS I9000 and its variants are the most frequent), various ROM and kernels. It is very
probably battery related as the solutions which helped people ease the problem the most were sticking a bit of a bussiness card under the battery
to make contacts tighter, scratch the contacts on the battery itself with scissors or some other metal tool as they have become oxidized through
frequent charging (this significantly reduced number of my shutdowns, but didn't eliminate them) and buying a complete new battery (by far the
most successful solution, although, even this didn't help some people )
