After a few days running Dlev's 4.2 ROM, my wifi stopped working suddenly. When I try to turn it on it says error or unable to start wifi. I've exhausted several initial options I began walking myself back through various ROM's back to the original 2.1 stock ROM. Without success I even performed a master clear and several reflashes of the orininal stock ROM, nothing is working. I tried FXR Wifi fix and rescue. Does anybody have any ideas on what I should do?
Thanks,

Kernel?
What kernel were you running with the custom ROM? Talon's being updated really frequently, so if it's Talon, you might try the latest version of that (0.4.4.22, as of this writing)

Did you try rebooting your router or device that gives you wireless signal? also see if other devices can connect.
It was Talon 0.4.4, but I've gone all the way back to stock ROM/kernel etc and that makes me think that this is a HW malfunction.
AT&T had me reboot the router too, my laptops are able to connect just fine. It's not really a connection problem either, Wifi will not turn on at all.
I called Samsung and they want me to ship them the phone, still debating that one since I will have to go without a phone.

I just finally got sick of waiting for an official Froyo(Bell isn't about to give me an upgrade anyhow.) So I went to a froyo rom that was based on one of the stock roms. But I figured since I'm rooted anyhow why not play around, and grabbed cyanogen 6.1 and installed it. Then I end up with the issue of its not connecting to my wifi, I have no issues on the stock 2.2 roms. One thing I have noticed is the cyanogen shows the network as wep, but it's actually wpa encrypted. I flashed into it from the stock without clearing it first and it worked until I shut off and came back to it. Any ideas on what might be the issue. I'm fairly new but I did look and couldn't find anything to fix this.
I assume you flashed 6.1 stable version? I have no issue whatsoever on my device (and I also used official froyo previously). Did you wipe all before flashing 6.1?
He said he "flashed without cleaning"...so I presume no wipe. This could be the problem, a wipe is strongly adviced if going to CM from a non CM ROM. Also check the number of WiFi channels set by default in advanced settings of wifi. It is set for 11 and if the router is set to 13 or 14 it could not work

I had the same problem when i was installing CM6.1. (with wipe)
The phone could just se a wep version of my network and not the wpa that i have. But after i turned on and off the wifi a couple of times i suddenly saw the wpa version of my network and after i connected to that the problem was solved. I also did click "forget network" on the wep version.
Hope this will help you

Trying this now but no go. Sometimes will flash it as wpa and then jump back to wep. This is after a full wipe. What I was trying to say was once I flashed in without wiping and it worked for a bit but jumped right back to not working, after the phone going to sleep.
Bump.
Any insight into this issue? Still only reading my network as wep.
Try installing "WiFi Advanced Configration Editor" from the market. You should be able to change to WPA manually with it.
Did you try to reset your wifi router?sometimes the issues came up from wifi router, not the phone itself.
Mine is fine. I share my broadband wifi to my phone using connectify.
The only problem remains is wifi disconnect frequently, but I heard that it's due to a new kernel which I use (.32 kernel)
hope it helps
Ya reset the router a few times, and it still came up like that. I did install the wifi advance config software mentioned it seemed to fix it. I didn't actually set anything up on it and it seems to have fixed it. Thanks.
CM 6.1 messed up my wifi. Wiped everything, but it suddenly doesn't find my networks.
Wiped again and restored nandroid backup of working rom but STILL the same issue now!! Can I flash the wifi drivers again somehow?
I am several hours around my phone and still wasn't able to figure out what's wrong with the wifi.
So, for the start, i was using ICS 4.0.3 for about 2 months or something, everything was fine. Today i decided to install a custom JW5 to give it a try, since it has some "secundary" features that i would like to use. The problem came after this. At first, i installed everything just fine, on first boot i can connect my wifi to my router, but as i start to use the internet (browser or google play) it just disconnects after 5 seconds or so. After that, the wifi stay on a loop scan-obtain ip-disconnect. If i just switch off and on, it won't pass the obtain ip. For it connects, i must reboot the phone.
I thought it was a rom problem, so, i started trying another roms: jw5, jw4, jw1, all custom and all stock, none worked. I tried to use several modems, like jw4, jvq, jvu and so the same with kernels: semaphore kernel, stock kernel, everything. Nothing worked.
Although, i tried the old JVQ rom and wifi worked just fine. I didn't tried ICS again because i don't want to go back to it and neither i want to use an old rom like JVQ, so, is there any way to fix this?
Rebooting the modem and router didn't work aswell and i have 2 other computers using it just fine (just like the galaxy worked until today). If someone could help me, i appreciate, i'm really tired wasting time with this.
EDIT: i forgot to mention, i tried with static ip, didn't work either.
EDIT2: i already tried delete the file from /data/misc/dhcp too.
So I had some escapades today, I had my SGS running jellybean, then I tried to change the screen density and bang, bootloop. I panicked and after some odin fiddling managed to get it booting Darky using odin. I was in a room with no signal at the time so I thought nothing of not having any signal, even so I then went ahead and used recovery to reinstall my Jellybean rom since that's a bit nicer than the 2.3 Darky.
Long and the short of it is, I can search for networks in my options and it will find them, but when I tell it to connect to one it says "Can't connect to this network right now. Try again later"
I have tried later and surprise surprise it didn't work. I have tried installing a different radio, clearing the dvalik cache and fixing permissions as well as a few other things. Please can anyone suggest something, this seems to be a very uncommon scenario and it's stressing me out that I can't find any solutions.

Yeah I've checked them and unfortunately they all seem to be in order still, though there are a lot more settings than any website offers things to put in them
same problem
i am having this same problem on all cyanogenmod 7,9,10. i have tried many radio and modem flashes. i can scan and see networks, but i can never connect to them.
have you made any progress?
Problem is EFS folder which tends to do with IMEI.
To fix it you need to copy the backup EFS folder from your SDCARD to the root of your device. (/)
If you don't have a backup you'll have to ODIN back to stock and re-root....etcetera

thx
thank you for the response. I put it back to stock lastnight before bed so i will give this a try.
i have the gti9000m from bell in canada. I updated it through kies to 2.3.3 gingerbread and it all went badly. It would boot up and load to the os be on for a bit then reset. It turned out to be wifi problem, running it on airplane mode stopped it from rebooting. Then if i tried to turn on wifi it would quickly reboot.
So then i tired all the cyanogenmods, which worked it stopped rebooting all the time. however the wifi would connect and work for about a minute then it would drop. doing the
1.turnOn gps
2.turnOn wifi
3. turnOff gps
this would let the wifi work again for about a minute. I tried all the wifi fixer apk, and a bunch of wifi.zip mods, and then ping the router gateway constantly, none solved this problem. Very annoying because i need the wifi working for develpoment of apps. I have spent a great many hours on this problem. lots of people seam to have this problem but no solutions have wokred for me.
So, my questions are....
1. does your wifi work?
2. how the heck do i get mine to work?
back to stock
After going back to stock then upgrading connecting to network operators is fine.
wifi is still broken though
I was hoping that maybe someone could help me troubleshoot my problem.
I recently flashed a new ROM and since then my WiFi has been acting up. It will turn off then instantly turn back on and sometimes take longer than normal to turn on. This is causing quite a problem as it doesn't allow for a stable connection.
At first I thought it could be the router but even when I'm out of range, in town, if the Wi-Fi is enabled it still turns off and on.
So I've tried flashing a custom kernel, and several different ROMs and even the Radio. Nothing seems to fix it. I have wiped and formatted everything I can think of several times but regardless of ROM the Wi-Fi still turns off and on constantly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
That happned to me when i flashed stock recovery of older rom version, for example: I had 1.29.401.16 rom with 1.29.401.7 recovery... Probably you have the same issue
Sent from my HTC One™
So you think it could be the recovery at fault?
Yes, are you running your htc with custom recovery, if yes, the problem is not in the recovey

I am running clockworkmod recovery. Any more ideas?
Hey everyone, so I just recently upgraded my Note 4 from KK to LP, but during the process, I had to flash the Baseband and modem before I flashed the LP ROM. I then flashed the ROM after I did that, and ended up with no network... I'm still able to make calls ONLY when I'm connected and close enough to the WiFi, texting is still fine I believe. So then I tried going through the process of downgrading to see if that would relieve the problem of my network issue, but it still isn't even working. Even after doing the process in reverse, flashing the baseband and modem before flashing my ROM.
I'd like to add that I did take apart my phone because my screen needed replacing, so I took apart my phone to see if I made my signal cables loose, they were, but then I popped them back in again, turned on my phone to see if that was the issue, and it still doesn't work, as well as my hardware back button doesn't work anymore so I have been using a nav bar to access my multi-window app.
I have tried flipping my signal cables, going from LP to KK, KK to LP, and reinstalling the firmware...
Edit: Whenever I factory reset in the stock recovery, I get an " Error:failed to mount /preload (no such file or directory)
Have you odin'd to stock lollipop?
You need to Odin stock firmware from Samsung, this will fix what you borked.
Then you can try again.

I've tried 2 fresh downloads of the stock firmware and it hasn't worked, but I will just download the file straight from Samsung this time to see if that could fix the problem. My new signal antennas I ordered from ebay are on the way and should arrive tomorrow. I'll then try that if this troubleshoot doesn't work because I don't have any 4gLte network at all, and it only pops up randomly and at certain areas I drive. I'm constantly moving and I could never have a stable connection, no calls, no text messages till I'm connected to the wifi:crying:
Edit #2: So I have installed new signal cables, and still not getting any 4G/LTE Network. I have constantly checked on my wires to see if it does anything to the network, but it doesn't. Still able to make calls on Wi-Fi only ): And I have used Odin to try and revert back to stock fully and no luck..
