The Offical Why My Wifi Doesnt Work Thread

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

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

[Q] Best option?

Hello to anyone reading this your time is greatly appreciated.
I have been trolling forums for a couple of days now and am not sure which process may help me out of my situation the best. I am new to android and recently used a one click Samsung s program to root my phone. It worked fine until after I uninstalled some stock apps and ran a cleaning app. I began getting the Sorry! The application settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly when I would try to change the voice ringtone and many apps followed suit when I would try to use them.
I came to the conclusion that a factory reset may solve my problem. It only made it worse. I can no longer download apps; kies, media player and my pc do not recognize the phone, kies won't update, the android market has a different theme, and most things I try to do on the phone I get the Sorry! message.
I did not flash my ROM because I did not learn about it until after the restore.
My question is what has the highest probability of making my phone work properly again, flashing the ROM (I have been looking at a Darky's custom ROM), downloading an newer firmware version ( I currently have 2.2 FROYO), or is there another way to fix the issues that I just have not come across yet?
I appreciate any pointers or advice and once again thank you for taking the time to review this post.

I would have to say your best option right now is to switch over to CyanogenMod 7.
Since you are still on froyo the installation is dead simple now thanks to codeworkx's efforts and atinm's nightly updates are knocking off the last few open issues like 9 pins. Plus great kernel makers and an experienced user base means that the community is active and high spirited.
Come to the CM7 thread in the dev forum, read the first post and the troubleshooting post (also on the first page) to get all the instructions and to see a video that makes very clear why cm7 is the gold standard of android ROMs.

[Q] 2.2.2 Revolution help

I have updated my Revolution to the new 2.2.2 software hoping that it would stop my device from the constant reboot that seems to plague LG products but it didn't. So step 2 is rooting my device which solved the problem with my Droid X cause it was able to get rid of the bloatware occupying soo much of my memory & overclocked my processor to handle the means in which I use my phone. Does ANYONE have a SIMPLE root method for the 2.2.2 software? What have been the best themes? ROMs? Overclock? available for the Revolution??
Where is z4Root when you need it??
I'm kinda disappointed with the Revolution cause both Verizon & LG have put so much praise behind a device that leading up to it's launch was supposed to be the Revolutionary 4G device for Verizon but I have yet to see anything Revolutionary about it. I put it 3rd behind the Thunderbolt and what seems to be a superior Samsung Charge.
(Android verision: 2.2.2 ~ Kernel: 2.6.32.9-perf / [email protected]#1 ~ SW Verision: VS910ZV6)

I believe since you updated you can no longer root. YOu would have to revert back to v4 from v6 using this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1211295. Then you will have to find a super one click, The program used to root the phones which I believe still works if on pre OTA firmware. Hope this helps you. I didn't have any of those problems with my phone when I got but I rooted it like a week or 2 after getting it and decrapped came out like later. Good luck and let me know how it all works out.

[Q] Thethering with F1 Innovation V11 and Semaphore 1.7.0bm

Hey everyone,
I recently screwed up my phone which ran Darkys 10.2.2. I decided to try out a different ROM, and gave F1 Innovation V11 in combination with Semaphore 1.7.0bm a shot. Overall I'm pretty satisfied with the ROM and Kernel so far, but I can't manage to get wifi tethering working.
When activating it seems to work for like half a second, and then it shows "Error" (translated since I run my phone on German, which says "Fehler" (= "Error")).
I already tried clearing the dalvik cache and fixing permissions with ROM Manager.
Do you guys have any ideas how I can get the tethering working? USB-tethering hasn't worked for me since I have my phone, so there is no other option for me than wifi tethering.
Please excuse my poor english, I hope you understand my problem :S
Many thanks in advance!

Check the semaphore thread in dev section. First post. You have to copy a script into init.d directory to enable tethering. It is a commonly asked question.
