3. i have to know how i can debug my wifi
and last thing please share some body /data/wifi folder files

Software
To me this sounds like a software error. I would recommend you try a new ROM with a new kernel and a new modem, preferably one that is know to work well with Captivates. If i may suggest, try DarkyROM at www.darkyrom.com, i can help flash that if you would like, you won't regret it, amazing rom.
I'm not sure if its a software error. I have the same issue. I tried a bunch of different roms while doing a master clear/factory reset. I ended up with the same wifi error on any platform... It was a hardware problem for me.
Time to get a new phone buddy if you haven't already tried flashing different roms
Im having the same problem, and have flashed different roms. What about buying a new antenna? That's what I'm thinking.

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 started having issues with the MIUI rom and wanted to get a different ROM. The devices menu shows for the captivate device that there is no driver. I have tried to let windows find a driver but it cannot find one and I tried installing one manually but still has the same error. My only idea is that the device name changed so it cannot find a driver. Can someone tell me what their machine says the device name is for your samsung captivate? Or if I am wrong can anyone help me out?
MIUI version: MIUI-109160
Kernal: [email protected]#1
Thank you
Have you tried a Heimdall one-click (like the one in my signature)? That should detect your phone as part of the installation process, and let you flash back to stock (with CWM) as well.
Edit: okay I got it to work. Thanks I am now back to the default. If i have any more issues I will come back. Thank you
Yeah even tho it got back to the stock it can't read the sim card now. suggestions?
hello everyone, I just registered here for a couple issues with my girlfriend's i9001, it basically can't find Wifi connections, once you click the button to activate the wifi, it shows a green check for few mins while looking for connections and suddenly it deactivates by itself...
I read around about a file to remove via terminal emulator, the bcm_supp.conf one, but I can't find that file...
does anyone have any idea/solution for it? currently she uses internet via 3g (monthly charges) but it would be cool to be able to use the home wifi...
about bluetooth instead, it just can't find other bluetooth devices and vice versa, my nokia 5800 can't find it even if the "visible" option is activated.
ideas?
I'm going crazy about it, I already tried several hard resets and flashed the phone first with 2.3.5 and then with 2.3.6 firmwares... nothing fixed the issues...
thanks in advance for any response
ps: sorry for my english, I'm italian >_<
i had exactly the same wifi issue but flashing a new rom solved the problem. reset and reflashing the same rom didn't help. you tried several 2.3.6 versions?
you might try flashing another modem.

it had the official 2.3.5 (italy), I flashed it with the same firmware and nothing happened, re-flashed it with 2.3.6 (Baltic 13th June 2012) and nothing happened...
noone knows?
Hi All,
My problem is, once updating from 3.2 to 4.0.4, my wireless keeps dropping every minute or so. Incredibly frustrating as it will refresh almost any app that's currently open (even offline apps like my epub reader).
I've found this doesn't seem to be isolated to the 8.9 tablet ICS ROM, nor even Samsung's updates. However every solution I've found and tried doesn't seem to work. The main culprit seems to be the wpa_supplicant file (in /system/bin). I've tried the following:
Updating (reverting) the wpa_supplicant file to the 3.2 version as it was last known working copy
Updating the wpa_supplicant file with an S3 version that claims to cure the fix (yes I know this was in desperation)
Updating the wpa_supplicant.conf file to remove the
The problem with all of these is that I know they aren't aren't very likely to work (and didn't). All files were either flashed with CWM or moved into the kernal with Root Explorer + superuser.
My tab is an Australia Telstra GT-P7320T.
Currently I'm running Arclic's ICS ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923371&highlight=7320) , but have also tried the stock ICS ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901664) and that had the same issue.
Never been a poster on the forums but used lots and always found an answer - unfortunately I haven't this time.
Surely others that have applied these ROM's have had the same issues. Has anyone been able to solve them? Any help much appreciated.
Have you tried flashing back to the original gb rom? If you still have issues there, it may be hardware related.
Yeah, I've tried going back to the original Telstra Australia honeycomb ROM and wifi works fine. Definitely firmware related.
Hello guys im new here and i tried lot of things to repair my wfi problem.
So its my mom phone and one day she called me about selfrestart phone in night and there was image of bootloader and startup failed.
So after classic factory reset and etc my wifi still not working. The problem is i cant connect to any wifi. I can scan it but wont connect just say disabled or saved but not connection.
After this i tried flash stockroom succesfully after 2 days of hard work So i flash stock room but the problem is still there so im not sure what can i do anymore. If i can try flash some newer rom or custom rom or its just hardware failure? has anyone have problem like this? All others things work normal like data connections etc. Sorry for my english
1. update so i flashed another lineage room just in case and still not working.
2. i notice in system information that wifi mac adress is 0d:00:00:00:00:00 so can be hardware failure probably.
3. Hotspot wifi is working so i can connect from another mobile to the broken wifi mobile
