[Q] Flashing to CM7 without breaking wifi?

I have a Samsung Galaxy S I9000 Euro which I have been painfully trying to get on to CM7 for the last few days. The problem I have is when I flash back to a stock Froyo (2.2.1) my wifi won't connect to wpa connections. This isn't brilliant for me as my home router is secured with WPA and I do not wish to change it, as the people living in my area are all mostly IT specialists and would take advantage of a wep or unsecured network. This is due to the slow speeds we get in our area.
Does anyone know of a way to flash an older rom on to my phone whilst keeping the ability to connect to wifi properly once it is running CM7?
I am currently running a 2.3.3 rom downloaded from samfirmware.com
Thanks in advance for any help

Why is your WiFi-connection 'broken' with Froyo? My router is also secured with WPA and don't have any problems...

This I cannot figure out, I tried everything from enabling/disabling wifi/GPS/BT and wiping and starting all over again. All of these methods resulted in my phone being unable to connect to my WPA secured wifi, any unsecured connection nearby connects straight away. I seem to get stuck in an obtaining IP address loop, which never resolves.

Have you ever tried another modem?

How do I do that? On 3g its a little difficult to download a different modem as the extras for cyanogenmod won't load properly in the ROM Manager app.

A different modem won't help...wifi is controlled by the kernel, not the modem.

Have you tried connecting to a different AP using wpa?
Also, go into advanced wifi and set up a static IP. That may do the trick.

WiFi has nothing to do with the modem? Ok, didn't know that.

Is this installed via odin after CM7 is installed?

Not Odin. Custom kernels are flashed from recovery as zip files. Very quick and easy.

Tried a few other methods of doing this and every time it gets broken. Are there any other fixes I can use to get wifi to work again? Any files I can modify myself or delete?

Right, managed to convince my other (better?) half to let me try it on her phone as we both got the same phones at the same time. Will post results soon...

Ok, same thing happened with the wifes phone so I decided to dig an old wireless router out of the shed and set it up with WPA security. And the phone then connected. So I'm not entirely happy with the crap that is my BTHomeHub. All in all, I'm now running CM7 RC1 and I'm happy as larry with it

Congratulation!

are you S OFF? If not did you flash boot.img via fastboot? If you have unlocked using htcdev then you are not S OFF and you need to flash your boot img by fastboot to get the wi-fi to work.

First chk by using a WiFi scaner from play store and see if it shows a network.for this ssid should be not hidden in router.if it shows Try disabling WPA (security)in router and try.it should connect then.if scanner not show any network I guess its a kernel prob..

Did you try installing another kernel? And since you are s OFF you dont need to push the wi-fi module using adb . A recovery flashable zip file will do. Look in the development section for links to kernels

my problem solved by using WiFix manager

Wifi going off on TWiz Roms.

Hello all, sorry for my english.
I was using asylum and cm10.1 for along time and there great but i miss the TW goodness so i revert back to ultimat 5.0 for now, and i have a problem with wifi stop working all the time, what i mean is that after 30 minuts or so the wifi shows that its still connected but no data is transfering, if i leave my torrent client open then after 30-/+ minuts it stops downloading.
I must say that in aosp roms the issue is not exsiting, and every thing is ok. If i turn off the wifi and turn it back on the issue is solvd until the next time.
Ps. Im on LSA and i flashd the LSO modem and the problem is still there.
Is this a hardware issue or software? What othet test i can do to eliminate the problem?
Thanks

I think the latest version of the ROM you are on should be 5.1.. Try updating since youre on 5.0, maybe that will fix your wifi issue..

Yeah but that another issue becuse if i flash 5.1 the phone stuck at the first screen of "galaxy note" and thats it.
I think the file is maybe curropted, but i cand download another one cuz my wifi is disconnecting all the time.
I think i dont have a choice and ill have to go to aosp agian and download from there.
I am traveling and dont have access to a normal pc.
You think maybe other modems will fix the problems?
Thanks.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

Im not sure but shouldnt you do full wipe before flashing some other ROMs?..

You talking about 5.1? It doesn't matter if I flash over or clean install non of them are working, anyway I'm downloading the new leak now and we will see if the problem is there also.
Thanks.

I see from your signature that you are with Temasek's ROM (this guy is really amazing) with Kowalski(another amazing one)....
why dont you ask this question in the Temasek's general discussion thread....might be addressed quickly than this seperate thread which might be overlooked.
Thanks

Try to flash DHCP Client and WPA Supplicant, you can find it in Kowalski Kernel thread.

The grey and blue colours have got to do with google sync feature. Blue: syncing. Grey: stop syncing.
