Do a clean flash with flashtool, then install the rom again.

tried that on 4 roms...is my phone broken or something? Wi-fi works fine pre rom, but when installed it just wont do anything. at first I thought it was just the Honami engine brands but I just tried another off brand forgot the name...some modification for the generic Firmware with a few add-ons...and still the wi-fi won't work.
Is this a new issue? or has someone been through this? Clean flash didn't work.

makes me sad face cant findd the solution anywhere...my ocd wont let me keep the rom knowing that it wont work lol.

So... does wifi work with a stock rom, but not with a custom rom? or wifi doesn't work at all at this point?
Should pull a logcat and see what your errors are....

Well, I uninstalled the rom, and back to 10.3.1.E.0.191 Wi-Fi works perfectly. But when I install a rom, wifi wont even humor turning on, it just blinks four times then goes back to gray.
I don't know what logcat is, is there a tutorial somewhere for it?

So I ran LOGCAT after viewing a small tutorial.and when It gets to network controller it says
Networkcontroller( 2140) refreshviews: Data not connected!! set no data type icon / roaming
and I get that twice in a row. So do I need to install a file somewhere? is the installed rom just not wifi accessible? what?

[Q] Why internet is not working

Hi,
I have CM9 nightly installed on my SGS and it works nicely but it drains battery and internet does not work.
It worked good about 3-4 weeks but suddenly the signal strength bar (or whatever it's called) went to grey (it's normally blue) and if i try to use something what uses internet, it doesn't load anything.
Do you have the latest CM9 version?
Grey signal means you have a weak signal or does not have signal at all. Can you still send and receive SMS?
Yes i can make calls and receive sms. Signal bar is almost full. It would be almost black if have no signal.
But now it's light grey.
Did you try testing it with other phone? Just to prove that it is not your network provider's problem.

Not unless things start to force close. If they do that then you need to factory reset.
Also check your efs folder. It is possible that the data there has been scrubbed. If that's the case Odin a stock firmware with wipe efs ticked.
After that you can return to CM9.

Which ROM do you use??
In the stock ROM wifi always crashes. Try another rom.

if you use custom rom, the problem may come from it.
beside, you didnt give any detail information.

Okay;
The problem in the stock rom is the wifi driver. It fails alot, than if you try to start wifi, it says "error", or it simply wont connect.
I dont know the exactly problem, but after installing cyanogenmod 7 the drivers has been fixed, so wifi works pretty good.
If you want to stay stock, you should upgrade to 2.3.4 or higher, the gb roms dont have extreme driver failure, if wifi wont connect, keep turning on / off wifi, finaly it will connects.
In stock 2.2.1 wifi fully crashes if you restart wifi a few times. It will say "error", and you need to reboot the phone.

[Q] WiFi problem with MIUI

Hello,
I have just flashed MIUI Gingerbread 2.4.20-RC3 to my GT-S5570, everything looks great, except WiFi, when I turn on WiFi, it says "Scanning" finds my WiFi and then "disconnected" and again shows "Scanning" for 1 sec and again "disconnected", what can I do?
WiFi Error
You need to revert to your old stock rom, because the drivers for WiFi aren't working. Same thing happened on my mobile phone, when I flashed it with the newer firmware. Didn't really find the solution to this problem, but solved it by going back to my old rom. Hope this helps.
You can also try typing this code into your phone: #*#*526#*#*
It might work for you.
Best of luck.

Thank you for reply.
It is working now, here is what I did: In phone settings I tried to change themes lock screen to other, but unfortunately not default lock screen was way too big (very big resolution) so I was not able to unlock my phone any more, once I found that I can do it pressing back+volume down, it helped to unlock, but MIUI was crashed and stopped working, so I had to wipe all data and cash, to reset default settings, after this, everything works great now.

the same thing was happening to me (on the same rom)>> "fixed" it by reseting the notebook-hot-spot (connectify) I use
[sometimes even a simple wi-fi turn on/off or rebooting the device would help too]
I'm posting this in order to prevent you from doing more drastic stuff :cyclops:
hope it' helps

Wi-Fi wont turn on

so this morning, after reflashing VJ's slim bean rom, i noticed that my wifi wont turn on. i would slide it to [on] and it says "turning on wifi" but it get stuck there and the button becomes grayed out [off].
i have tried reflashing the rom
i have tried complete wipe
(sd,factory,cache,/boot,/system,/data and etc etc etc)
i did use blackrose prior to flashing the rom to adjust the hboot again, though that shouldnt cause this issue right?
what seems to be the problem here? i have been using VJ's rom for like 2 months stable and this has never occured.

Did you finally solve it? I have the same problem with Evervolv's Kitkat. Posted details here. It doesn't seem very common, just found you with similar problems, and this other post.

oddly enough, i clean flashed the rom one last time and eventually the problem fixed itself. after a few days it was back to normal
some things i did try (not sure if it helped or not)
-airplane mode on for a while and then off
-power off phone and take battery/sd/sim card out and let it sit for a few hours
-i got to a point where i could "turn wifi on" (drag slider to ON) and i left it there permanently until it fixed itself

[Q] Tethering Problem

Hey guys,
I have a Z1 C903, which doesn't work as a wifi tether nor bluetooth tether. I can turn it on, and other devices can see it, however when trying to connect, the signal drops completely.
If I wait the signal will restart and become full strength, where I will need to manually connect, which proceeds to the signal disappearing again. I've tried unsecure, wpa2, wpa to which I have no luck either. Devices such as laptop will say limited connection, whereas android tablets and phones will refuse to connect and will say "Saved, secured with WPA2" or something else if i change the password method.
I've tried searching for any reports of wifi tethering not working, but the problems seem to be different from my situation.
More details on my device:
It has an unlocked bootloader
Now running Paranoid android
Problem occurred on stock 4.3, nut 4.4 (I assumed it was a glitch on Sony's drivers, and have waited for months now for a patch)
Could a faulty TA do this?
Any ideas?
Am I f***ed?
Cheers

Flash your phone by flash tools including wipe apps log and cache and system
It should solve your problem
And of course first re-lock your BL and flash to stock Rom

Sorry about late reply, I am out in urban areas without internet connection. I'll try doing this tonight.
Am I right in assuming all Z1 CM ROMs have this problem, if I must install a stock-based ROM?

You can try to change the name of your phone (Network SSID) to a simpler form instead of default.
I got it working
I got it working thanks to your suggestion, Saeed.
I flashed the stock ftf from the mega thread and that restored my tethering capabilities. I then proceeded to reinstall the ParanoidRom and now the tethering works as well.
I'm not sure what happened, but I'd assume something went wrong when upgrading to 4.3 and the problem stayed when I then upgraded again to 4.4 and then to paranoid.
Thanks
