So I have Cyanogenmod 11 by FreeXperia installed on my SP and I would like to install another ROM (mahdi) as it seems more stable.
Now can I just install the boot.img using fastboot then wipe data and cache and flash the ROM? or do I have to flash to stock rom first then flash the other rom?
PS: the reason I want to switch is that the WIFI rarely works, I press connect but it just blinks "connecting" for a fraction of a second and goes back to saving "saved, secured with WPA" I tried forgetting the network/ changing region code/ rebooting / changing device hostname. nothing works. any tips are appreciated.

I have searched for the past thirty minutes and have not found a solution so i decided to post in the place where every person seems to know the answer to every question. Anyways, my tp succesfully got set up in ICS and WIFI turned on at first for me to do my original setup, but after rebooting to flash the charger fix and new kernel, my wifi will not connect. I tried a fresh install to make sure the kernel was not the issue, to no avail. When i try and slide the wifi on/off switch to on it just slides back and clicking on the button does nothing. I also tried to add the power widget to the main screen and hit the Wifi button from there, but that was also borked. Any help would be appreciated.
Try setting your router to a specific channel I put mine on 9 and it works now. I was having wifi issues after reboot but after setting the Chanel on my router they went away
If I forget my network, then reboot, then reconnect it seems to work fine. I tried a few other "fixes" I have read about and nothing else seems to work for me at this point...
The problem is not my network, its the fact that i cannot hit the "on" button for wifi

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The OP did make the problem clear!
Looks like a reinstall may be needed.
try fixing permissions from CWM.
If that doesn't work, I suggest to have a look at the logcat entries while trying to switch on and off the Wifi, you may see the reason for the error there.
What version of CM9 is intalled? did you install any special kernel? What channel is your wifi on? (I changed mine from 11 to 1 and it's stayed connected for days now!)
Try a full cache and dalvik cache wipe in ClockworkMod. If that fails, then do a full wipe, re-install and try again from scratch.
This happened to me when I updated to Alpha 0.5. I had to go back and reflash the bricked kernel which i previously installed. I think he made a change to the wifi settings and if I remember correctly he told you how to go back to stock cm9 if you wanted to. But if you installed bricked before that's your problem, reflash it in CWM
bricked kernel uses a different WIFI module, so you need to have both in sync (kernel and driver).
If it worked on first boot, I presume he didn't change the kernel, so something else must be causing his WIFI to fail (fail to start, not fail to connect)
As we mention before, I will go for permissions, cache and get a logcat for the error
Permissions did not work so I wiped and started fresh for the third time....well I guess third time is a charm because I am posting from the TP right now thanks guys.
Sorry for the noob post.
I was attempting to install cyanogen, following the full update guide on their wiki
It is currently running the stock rom. and this would be the first time i have tried this.
Installing clockwork mod seemed to go fine, however when i restarted it i could not enable wifi or data network. It also restarted regularly. I performed a factory reset through the settings on the phone, but after that i still cannot connect to wifi or data networks, and the rebooting has increased in frequency so now it will only remain powered up for a few seconds.
I can still access download mode fine, and it does not reboot when on that.
What should I do?
Hey
On which firmware did u install CM9??
Sent from my GT-I9000
Galaxy Note GT-N7000, I was on CM 11 and everything was working fine. I made my mind to try out Omni ROM. Installed TWRP and Omni ROM. Since then WiFi is not turning ON. When tried to turn ON from settings, the button moves to ON state stays grey for few seconds and moves back to Off. Now even after installing stock ROM or CM 11, the WiFi is not turning ON and same behavior observed.
Tried the following:
Factory reset.
Installed stock JB ROM.
Again installed CM 11 by doing wiping /data, /system, /cache.
Installed Custom Kernel
Based on the suggestions at some posts, opened up the phone to check any dust or hardware related issues, but nothing.
It doesn't seems to be a hardware issue, as WiFi turns ON occasionally, especially when a new ROM is installed but after a while stops working.
PS: ADB Debug log says "Unable to load driver."
Requesting help from experts on fixing this issue.
Hi,
I recently flashed stock D405n ROM on my phone (http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-...ck-rom-d405n-stock-rom-flashable-via-t2994824). Since I don't pay attention to details, I didn't see that this ROM will delete my Recovery/Root. I did wipe and format everything before flashing (expect internal storage). The ROM works now, but there's no baseband, so my signal drops very often and I can't get Wi-Fi working... Also, my phone is completely stock now, I can't go into recovery and flash other ROM.
So, I thought that I should just root, unlock bootloader and flash CWM again. Unfortunately, this doesn't work, because I can't get download mode working. I installed all the drivers, repeated that over and over again, tried a different OS, but I just can't get download mode to work. I turn off my phone, (tried taking out the battery too, doesn't work), hold volume up and plug in the usb cable. Phone says that download mode is loading but nothing happens, PC never recognises it and download mode never loads.
Could anybody help me get download mode working, or at least fix baseband, so I can normally use my phone and get WiFi and network working? Thanks.

This is crazy guys, after I flashed LOS, I wasn't able to connect to the wifi and whenever I do, the phone causes to reset and ruin the Internet for every temporarily. I thought it was just this phone so I went to shop and switched for a new one. And as soon as I flashed RR, guess what? Same thing happens. I'm so lost, what did I do wrong? These are the steps I took to flash custom ROMs. First, I unlocked bootloader and flash TWRP 3.0xx recovery. Next, I factory reset, wipe cache system data everything and flashed firmware, then ROM, finally the Gapps. I tried to flash back to official ROMs, the problem remained. I'm so screwed, don't know if the shop gonna let me switch to a new one, again.
P.S. on the bright side, I can mess with other's Wifi, make them unusable.
P.S. 2 during zip installing in TWRP, I saw two red lines like this "E:unknown command [log], detected filesystem ext4 for /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system, script succeeded: result was [1.000000]..." but it said done regardless
