Wifi Still Not Working on Stock-Based Roms - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, for some reason, I cannot get wifi working on any stock-based ROMs expect for the one I have a backup of, iHackers 4.1. I tried going to another .757 ROM, and several .108 ROMs. It just keeps saying "Wifi turning on" and stays that way.
I did go to an aosp rom, though. The latest version of PAC, which is 4.4.4. So what's going on? Am I not flashing the ROM right? I do a factory reset in twrp. Should I wipe more than that?
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thank you!

[SOLVED] com.phone.android crash after 4.3 GE CustomROM Update (Pepephone crash)

Hello everyone,
Yesterday I decided to flash an updated ROM of 4.3 to my One. After flashing it (happens with new ROM, or after flashing a new custom kernel... logo2menu, you know), a message appears ALWAYS on-screen:
com.phone.android has stopped working​
This message repeats a hundred times. I can't type anything without the message popping up. I reached the launcher, but I have no Phone signal and the WiFi is not working. It's like the phone wants to wake up the Phone Antenna but it crashes to do it.
I've read that I had to flash the boot.img from the ROM I wish to flash, and I don't know if that causes the problem...
Any help would be perfect.
Thank you in advance.
=====================================================================================
SOLVED!
Well, after my vacation, took my One and did a bit of research. I know everything about this problem now.
The problem is only in GE ROMS. Why? 4.3 GE hasn't listed my MVNO yet (known error by Android and by 'Pepephone'). So, as soon the mobile goes on, Android tries to connect to the SIM, but as it's not listed amongst the companies, the phone crashes. I had to flash a file with the APN, then add it manually. Ta-Da! It works.
Attached the ZIP file to flash in Recovery.
- Install 4.3 GE Rom.
- Flash the Fix.
- Start and complete the Install Wizard.
- Inside the APN config, manually introduce Pepephone's APN
o NAME: Pepephone
o APN: gprsmov.pepephone.com
o MCC: 214
o MNC: 06
Sorry to bump the thread, but currently I have a HTC One with no phone and it's really important for me to solve this asap. I'm going on vacation tomorrow and I need my phone

Are you using a custom kernel that matches, exactly, the 4.3 custom rom you are using? If it is a GE 4.3 based rom, you need a GE 4.3 custom kernel (check out ElementalX). If it is a Sense 4.3 base rom, well that update just came out yesterday and there are no custom kernels for it yet.

It happens with EVERY 4.3 GE Rom, stock kernel. I was in 4.2.2 GE (Android Revolution) and Installed 4.3 and gave me that error all the time without upgrading the Kernel... I'm pretty lost.

It sounds like there is an incompatibility with the new base. I would reflash the rom, doing a full wipe in the process

Full wipe means to wipe/factory reset in ClockWork Recovery before flashing? I already did that like dozen times, but still, same error I don't know why I'm the only one with this problem...

The Roms I've used have an option for full wipe during the install in Aroma, but I guess doing it in CWM does the same thing. Are you theming the phone app by any chance? Something isn't playing nice with the 4.3 base, that's what you have to track down. Maybe go back to 4.2 while you sort it out

Yup, did it inside the installer and outside it, but always same result. I'm back now into 4.2.2 Sense AR Rom and the phone works great, but I hate Sense.
Could it be the baseband firmware?

Firmware could be the case, was just thinking that.
My advice tho, you have a working phone, and with your vacation tomorrow, I would leave it as is for now

Sounds good, you're welcome. Enjoy your vacation!
I have the exact same problem. I've literally tried everything. I have S-Off-ed my phone and installed a custom kernel but even that does not fix the problem. All custom 4.3 Google Edition Roms crash after I install them. It works fine if I use the Stock 4.3 ROM.

A little update. I've got Cyanogen 10.2 working perfectly in my phone. It's running 4.3, so now, I understand even less. Why CM works and the other ROMs doesn't?
The night is long... Hahah.
CM 10.2 works flawlessly "without" bugs. I don't understand why CM 10.2 (JB 4.3) works and the other 4.3 GE does not. Something is not right, or maybe I'm missing some step, but it's really strange...

If you simply need a working phone, return to stock for your vacation, and then start from scratch re-flashing the GE firmware, kernels and rom. If anything is sense on the phone, incompatibility issues will happen.

Finally found a solution to the crash. It was related to a weird combination between GE 4.3 and my mobile network operator, Pepephone. Known bug by Android and Pepephone.
Solution at the first post.

[Q] VERY worried about flashing miui rom and new bootloader.

I have just recently restarted using this phone due to my uscellular S4 getting turned off. I am now back on my LG-P990 currently rooted and running CM10.1. BUT most importantly to me is the fact that I have all my wonderful apps on my s4, I want to be able to use them by using the LG phone as a tether and calls not much else BUT CM10.1 tethering does not work, so i find myself flashing rom after rom, avatar rom, older CM mods, none would turn on tethering, so i flashed a modded version of MIUI for this phone and it worked except for ONE thing no signal, tethering turned on just fine so i decided to look around for other roms and found Slimrom TRYED to flash it didnt work, try to flash actual MIUI roms off there site, didnt work, met with an error in CWM Recovery after some searching I found its because Im running the OLD Bootloader -_- THIS is the issue im having IF MIUI does NOT work is it possible to downgrade the bootloader again so i can restore my CM10.1 backup? I have been working at this for a week, if there is something here about this can someone please just point me at it? I would appreciate any help.
On a side note i DID soft brick the phone the other day and found a program called nvflash witch flashed an install of CM mod. Dont know if that will help any.

I really do not understand how other ROMs deny Tethering. Did you flash the latest 2.x kernel by pengus77 after installing the rom? Did you make a clean install(wipe everything then install)? On the other hand, yes you can switch bootloaders as much as you like, just remember that changing the bootloader wipes everything on your internal memory, so do a backup. Did you try just plain old stock 4.0.4? Should work there. Ask anything you want, if you're still having questions.

As to the flashing to stock i lost the original rom backup i had made along time ago and cant find the original firmware anywhere online. When I flashed CM 10.1 I just ran with it, when i go to try tethering it says "Turning on portable wifi hotspot." and it stays on that no matter what untill i restart, left the phone running for 2 days once and that was still stuck on that before i restarted. As for flashing a 2.x kernel i had no idea about that. But yes when i did the installs i would do a clean wipe and install. Most of what i read online led me to believe that there was an error with CM 10.1 nightlys that was not being fixed for the tethering. So that is why i decided to go to another rom. Two questions one how do i go about finding the original firmware for this phone and two how would i go about updating or downgrading the bootloaders and could i be pointed to the files please?

Okay, This is SFSP by @sgspluss which is a pretty fast, stable and battery-friendly slimmed down version of stock ICS. It is available for both Old and NewBL, so you might want to try that first. This is AIO Toolkit. I know that you've used it and bricked your phone, but try again, and for the love of God install the nvflash drivers because most people skip that part. You have to do it manually and if you're running Windows 8 you need to disable Driver Signature Verification. But yeah, you switch bootloaders with this.

Wifi not working after flashing any rom

Hi all!
First sorry if this is not the right Forum.
I have flashed many roms In my xt1502
But by now it does not matter the ROM i try, WiFi will not work
I am using clockmod recovery.
Thanks of backup i can still keep using pac-man ROM but none of the other roms based on CM11
Thanks for your help.
I have googled and the answers are not clear
I have tried to change kernels and recovery but issues remain still!
When flashing CM12 based ROM, WiFi works again... So i guess the problem is the build?
Solution
Thanks to myself...
I solved the problem: install TWR 2.6 version, then factory reset. Version 2.8 of TWRP makes sometimes "update binary" error.
You must install a ROM based on any CM11 before 20141104, and then you always do a dirty flash of later version of the choosen rom
I guess there must be something ROM in The versions of cm11 after that date, at least form xt1502 model.

[Q] Stock rom but can't turn WIFI on!

So I did some flashing on my XT1068, CM12 and stock 5.0 roms, WIFI worked perfectly in those, but now I restored to stock 4.4 TWRP backup and WIFI was not working, toggle just does nothing when I tap it, I first thought something is wrong with the backup so I re flashed stock with this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...windows-tool-moto-g-2014-xt1068-dual-t2983295
But wifi still dead, which is very weird because it should work on bloody stock rom!? It was working before I flashed CM12
Maybe re flash stock kernel?
Nope that didn't help
i have the same problem with my xt1068!!! i have try some way but nothing!!!
Turns out now it works only under CM12, this is super weird now
Anyone has any idea? I see many people having this same problem but no one seems to be fixing it
Fixed http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/fix-wifi-missing-file-t3007540

Help! my Wifi never activated!

Hello everyone
I'm new to the HTC One M7 and what happens is that I have a problem with Wifi and Bluetooth, to activate nothing happens! Wireless does not show me the available networks, only stays in "Turning" and nothing happens more, same with the bluetooth but that does not worry me, what matters is the access, in settings can not put it off once I try to start wifi, just dead! I wonder if there is any Fix that can flash or something that makes the wifi working again because the only way that I connect it with LTE but again, the wifi did not work at all! please help
If you are rooted and running a custom ROM, I recommend updating the radios, firmware, etc to the latest. You may need to reflash the ROM as well.
I have a custom rom and root but the wifi problem began with the stock rom without root or modify anything, install the custom ROM and the root thinking wifi so the problem would end, but not so with other roms the problem continues why is that not what else to do, I even installed the rom several times with all the necessary wipes

My first step would be to update the firmwares, radios, etc. If you have a Sprint HTC One, you can find it here. If not, you're really in the wrong forum.

Maybe some hardware damages have been caused ask your phone seller first
