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.

After installtion of ROM (without installing other APPS for ROM) mobile network was working fine and I was able to make/receive calls. I used it for couple of hrs, the only thing I noticed that I was not able to turn the WIFI on I thought this could be because of other apps so I installed other apps. Immediately after installing other apps network is gone even if I try to search network manually it says "Error while serching network" and still I can not turn my WIFI on. Any one else having same problem?
I reinstalled ROM to check this and again same problem. No network & No WIFI.
About wifi, it's said in the first post that it only works with static ip, although there's a fix for that, so i used it and my wifi is excellent now.
About the network, i really can't help you but mine is fine...Have you tried to wipe data before installing the rom again?
This ROM need nAa11 kernel to work ot of the box! Why you need alf's kernel?

problem solved with nAa 11 and reinstallation without wipe
Hello Everybody ... Am a new member to Xda site but i learned alot through reading your posts long time ago...
anyway here is my problem MY GALAXY NOTE GTN7000 Wifi Is not Working....
Details: I Had The phone since febraury 2012 and it was GB 2.3.6
i Updated to I.C.S 4.0.3 Official Rom and rooted it in july 2012
suddenly in august 2012 the problem started to appear ((( Am Writing Dates so To Avoid the Possibility of Hard Brick or anything because the phone was working great till then )))
THE PROBLEM
1-When I Try To Open Wifi It just Lag and stop responding The ICON GOES TO GREY INSTEAD OF GREEN and stays like that till Reboot and some times stays grey after Reboot
2- when opening wifi from settings tab it says "Turning On Wifi " and stays like that Forever
3- the only Way To restore the wifi icon to white is trying to activate WIFI - Direct
4- Rebooting Used to fix the problem but now NOT
5- Removing the battery Used to fix the problem But NOW NOT
Fixes I Tried
1- Restore Factory Setting & Wipe Cache & Wipe Everything
2- Changing the Rom from (I.C.S 4.0.3 )to (GB 2.3.6 ) to (Paranoid Android ) to (I.C.S 4.0.4)
Sometimes after each format or rom flash wifi worked for 2 hours or even 24 hours normally then problem appear
3- Tried removing Wpa Supplicant ( Helped Sometimes Then NOT )
4- Tried Wifix TO change country code even manually did it
5- Adjusted the Nfram_Semacove i dnt remember the name actually from CC To All ( Worked then later Stopped )
6- Used Wifi Rescue (Worked for a while then Stopped )
7- I Flashed Alot of kernels ((Heared that syiah Kernal Fix this problem but nothing out for NOTE YET )
HELP
I know that many will think that its a hardware ISSUE BUT IF Its hardware then why sometimes it work !!!!!
What i really Think is : Its a BUG Changed some files of the system which are not restored by flashing new ROM !!! for example when i Flashed Roms and Kernels i Found WPA Supplicant unchanged with my router Config !!!!
I SENT THE PHONE TO CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY SAID WILL CHECK AND REPLY within24 hrs but for sure its hardware and change Board which means 2800 EGP which is the price of new SGs2 soo am sure its a Bug or Software CAN ANY1 Help MEEEEEE

I am also facing the same problem for last one month and tried almost all the options tried by you but no relief. Wifi just works some time and other times it stays greyed. Can any one suggest any other solution as i also think it's software problem.
jesus christ, we are not BLIND!
anyway, i have same issues on sgs2
Same issue
@MOHPHR : I am facing the same issue as you.
I tried several ROMs from Original stock ICS to Paranoid to Crisleko's ROM.
Going into the airplane mode and then turning wifi on used to work, not anymore.
3G Data works just fine, not being able to use wifi is frustrating because when I leave it alone, it connects by itself randomly when I am at home for example.
I have done some extensive research and found an article that mentions wifi hardware problems resulting from ICS update on a galaxy S2. (Google: Samsung Galaxy S2 WiFi Issue BY Shaiful Borhan )
I did use the *#*#526#*#* and got the status: "NotSet Driver loaded [NG]".
Anyone can help please ?
WiFi drivers are not installed properly. Flash stock GB firmware

Hi, I have been looking for days now for a forum that will be discussing this exact problem. I ve had this issue fora month or so now. I have restored to factory settings but it has not solved the problem. My galaxy note n7000 is not rooted nor does it have any special rom. I wouldnt even know how to install them. Where you able to find a fix? I am so tired of this problem, Im even contemplating the possibility of getting a note 2 and selling my n7000. I believe as well that it is most likely a software problem and im wondering if the soon to come jellly bean update could fix this issue.
Ps: after the wifi problem started, ive also noticed freezes and restars/ reboots.
Thanks for your help guys.:good:

@fedetipito I am still considering the hardware issue, although it seems a compatibility issue with the region/country as @fearkillerr mentioned in this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436683)
I tried his solutions, none worked. The script one worked, but only once, then the problem kept repeating.
I upgraded to JB 4.2 then downgraded to stock GB 2.3 still the same issue. I am from the North Africa/Middle-East region, although when I was in Sweden in holidays and using a Swedish sim-card didn't have this issue. Any thoughts ? This problem is really really upsetting as we cannot use the WiFi properly. I am seriously considering simply abandoning my Galaxy Note N7000 and go for an iPhone 5, simply because I cannot even sell it (since no one would like a smartphone that doesn't have a proper wifi working).
I am having almost same problem with WiFi after I installed Custom ROM.
I tried only one method and it worked like a charm.
Go to WiFi connections and tell your phone to forget the network you are connected to, then re log. This problem did not happen after that 3 days now. Good Luck.
@Valium10 we initially cannot connect to any WiFi network, so we can't "forget" them. I don't think it is a "wifi network" problem.
" although when I was in Sweden in holidays and using a Swedish sim-card didn't have this issue"
And if you take SIM card out and power-on phone?Will wifi work?

Sometimes no, sometimes yes. It's kind of a malicious bug.
I am also facing the same problem and it seems it is hardware problem. May some dust or something else on the hardware or else we have dropped our phone some problem is there. When I gave to service center they asked that the motherboard needs to be replaced. But they refused to check it without that. I told that first try without replacing any parts and just check whats wrong in this if some repair can be done, but the service center people are so busy 50-60 peoples were waiting in line behind me to give there phones for service. They do not listen anything. They have tried by installing latest ROM and nothing else, that we can easily do it and for that also they have taken service charges.
Please someone tell me where exactly the wifi module is there, so we can open and check the problem ourself.

for Wifi disconnects ..try to change the router wireless settings to b/g...and avoid n... this should keep the wifi stable
hi..
i am having this weird problem with my wifi, i can connect to some routers without any problem but i can't connect to other ones, for example when i use virtual router to share internet from a laptop the phone is connected with internet access for a second or two then it stays connected with no internet access.
i tried to use manual IPs, i tried lots of wifi fixing apps, i tried to wipe data and cache, i tried to use the code *#*#526#*#*, i tried to flash many roms and kernels (miracle v4, stocklight v8, cyanogenmod 10.1 (jelly bean 4.2.1), windows 8 custom rom, official gingerbread 2.3.5... etc) none of them could solve this problem.
by the way: i flashed stuff that i think may have some thing to do with this problem, the files i flashed by cwm ("wifi_fix" i found for cyanogenmod 10, "toggle_safe_mod" or something like that, "adrenaline engine_4_4", "adrenaline engine_cm_4_4, "the_modified_file")
i also installed chainfire 3d, but after a while it stopped working telling me that my phone is not rooted while it is rooted, i thought these problems are related..
so i hope i gave enough information so that someone would know what's wrong with my wifi and how to fix it
A friend of mine asked me to repair his brother's phone that recently showed a "Kernel Panic" error message on 4.1.2 stock rom (followed by reboot). I read on the internet that it could be caused by a hardware failure but someone "fixed" the problem installing an AOSP rom (I know, it doesn't make much sense but it seems to be working for now). I installed cm11 by janice and AOSP Rc3 by J-Team (I can't provide you the links but they should be both in the Developement section for this phone). They both worked smoothly and kernel panic has not showed up (for now) but then, when I got everything working, I noticed I couldn't use the wifi function because the on-off switch is greyed out and unable to work. In the Wifi tab I got this constant message (Searching for Wifi network - translation may be inaccurate). Is there anything I can do to fix this problem via software?
Wifi and Kernel panic
Same problem here.Kernel panic message dont apear evry time.But i have another problem when i tried to swich on wifi it reboot my phone(Galaxy S Advance recently flashed to 4.1.2 stock whit odin).
Did you manage to do something?Btw my bluetooth is working, some peoples encoutered problems whit BT too.
