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

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.
Hi everyone,
I am currently having a big trouble with my hp touchpad, it was working very well until my dad asked me to try something with the bluetooth.
I just actived it from a gadget (not from the menu) and since I push the button, my touchpad restarted the cyanogen9 then when he finishes restarting, it do it again and again as a loop.
It seems that it all started after pushing the activation of Bluetooth :s
I actually tried to instal other version of cyanogen9 (I was on the version : cm-9-20130929-NIGHTLY-tenderloin, and now I am on cm-9-20130714-NIGHTLY-tenderloin but the result is the same since the Bluetooth is still activated.
I also tried to do a wipe cache but since that my touchpad just stay on the loading screen of cyanogen9...
Thanks for your help.

It sounds like CM 9 doesn't like whatever you did to your Bluetooth. What I would do would be to re-flash CM 9. If your Touchpad isn't working on the Android side, boot into Web-OS and download the CM 9 file to your computer. Connect your Touchpad to your computer and copy the CM 9 file to the SD card. Then re-boot into recovery and flash the CM 9 ROM and Gapps. This should work because to are installing a fresh rom over the old one.
I there i have a hp touchpad, an offer. It had already a android version (7 I think), and a problem with wifi, some times didn't connect.
So I decided to upgrade to cm-11-20140625-SNAPSHOT-jcsullins-tenderloin, with rom update-PhilZ_CWM-jcs-dm-tenderloin-20140612 and pa_gapps-stock-4.4.4-20140818-signed, I used the tptoolbox,but the problem with wi-fi remains.
Its a problem of room?
Or of software?
Or hardware?
Can anybody help, please?
thanks in advance :good:

Ensure that you are cleanly installing, by factory resetting. Do WiFI problems exist when booted into WebOS?

When they gave it to me, it already brought android, and some it works fine some times no.
I did the factory reset, before the installation.
I watched that e can't get a ip address, e get stuck there .
For WebOS I need to download and reinstall?
How to?
thanks
When the tablet starts, you are greeted with a moboot menu. Use the volume rocker to select WebOS. In WebOS, attempt to connect to WiFi there. That should iron-out a hardware issue. I highly doubt it is a hardware issue to being with.
On the latest Android builds, WiFI is certainly not an issue. Use the Toolbox and try flashing again.

Hold power and home, until moboot appears again. Then select Boot WebOS (not recovery).

It seems like you do not have webOS installed. Have you tried a newer ROM?

It would be wise to keep WebOS on a volume on your Touchpad. You can do this by running WebOS Doctor. Once your tablet returns to complete HP stock, you can then easily use the fantastic Toolbox provided by JScullins to push the latest KitKat builds of Android.
Good luck! And make sure to pass around your thanks on this forum by hitting the "Thanks" button!

Unbelievable, yesterday it start to work, I didn't anything...
but it worry because now i am afraid to disconnect... lolol.
What is the influence of gapp on th system?
I read in the past, that the touchpad WiFi, prefers channel 7 for WiFi. The only way to set that is to hard code that channel on your router!

All the router's I use are set to select the best available channel, at home and my local pubs (I set them up) and I don't have any problems connecting apart from the Tablet it's self very occasionally locking up.
Wifi fix for HPTouchpad CM11 (if you get stuck at "Wifi Turning On")
Hi all,
would like to share the issues I've been facing. Previously been using CM9 until one day the wifi stopped working - stuck at "Wi-fi Turning on...". WebOS wifi always worked flawlessly, just not android. Everytime I reflashed using TP Toolbox / ACMEUninstaller2, android Wifi did not work, always shows MAC Address Unavailable (regardless of wifi optimization settings, wifi sleep settings etc, and always stuck at Wi-fi Turning on...).
What I tried that didnt work:
>> TPToolbox with [cm-11-20141002-SNAPSHOT-jcsullins-tenderloin],[update-PhilZ_CWM-jcs-dm-tenderloin-20140317],[gapps-kk-20140105]
>> TPToolbox with [cm-10.1-20131210-SNAPSHOT-VPN-tenderloin], [update-CWM6_tenderloin-20121215], [gapps-jb-20130812-signed]
>> ACMEInstaller5E with [update-cm-10.1-20131210-SNAPSHOT-VPN-tenderloin],[update-CWM6_tenderloin-20121215],[update-gapps-jb4.2.2-20130812-signed]
>> ACMEInstaller5 with [update-cm-9-20130929-NIGHTLY-tenderloin],[update-CWM6_tenderloin-20121215],[update-gapps-ics4.0-20120429-signed]
all cases android wifi was stuck at "Wifi Turning On..." MAC address unavailable but webOS wifi works without issue.
>> installing FXR Wifi fix [FXR WiFi fix and rescue 1.5.0.apk] did not help either, it got stuck at "deleting profiles"
>> going into CWM and wiping Cache/Data + Dalvik Cache, turning on Bluetooth etc did not work either
After multiple tries, here's the solution that works for me for the past few hours. Will update if wifi stops working again:
Using JCSullins TPToolbox [tptoolbox_v40]:
1) Complete Data Reset
2) Create webOS volumes
3) WebOsDoctor to restore WebOS - check wifi works and clear USB data. [webosdoctorp305hstnhwifi]
4) TPToolbox to Install Android [cm-11-20141002-SNAPSHOT-jcsullins-tenderloin],[update-PhilZ_CWM-jcs-dm-tenderloin-20140317], [pa_gapps-stock-4.4.2-20140608-signed]
5) Wifi turns on after booting CM11! MAC address also restored.
6) 1st thing to download - Nandroid online backup
personally, i feel it's the pa_gapps that did the trick. Could be a problem with the KK-signed gapps making the wifi issue appear (suspect its the ath6k failed to initialize problem that others have posted about)
Would like to thank the devs for their work, especially JCSullins for the TPToolbox, it is truly awesome and easy to use.

I've got myself into a pretty annoying situation with my SM-T713 Tab
After my tab updated to 7.0 nougat, My wifi button just stopped working. The toggle switch just wouldnt stay on at all and I was not able to connect to wifi networks. I searched around and I saw some people having this same issue and just factory resetting the tablet in order fix it. So naturally, I reset my tab. This did not fix my WiFi issue at all, and now I am stuck at the tablet initialization behind FRP and I can't connect to WiFi to verify my account. My tablet is totally unusable.
What is my next course of action here?
I have tried using the Samsung Smart Switch PC app to reset the tablet to stock.
I have tried (and failed) to load another stock rom with Odin (FAILED! in odin).
I can't OTG bypass FRP because all the guides I tried used 6.0.1 and required wifi
I can't sidesync bybass FRP again because it requires wifi.
I can't just put in my account information because I need wifi
I can't fix my wifi because I'm stuck trying to bypass FRP.
I have no idea on how I could install TWRP without the proper settings enabled/disabled because I'm stuck in initial tablet welcome screen.
I am at a total loss, and even the samsung service center here in Korea wouldn't fix my tablet because it was purchased in the states (super frustrating).
I tried flashing a couple more Stock roms (XAR) on Odin and they all FAIL!
Every time they fail, I have to use smart switch to recover the tablet and it always restores it back to the way it was. Including the WiFi toggle automatically turning itself off.
If there is a hardware issue with the wifi inside the tablet, would the softare autmatically turn the toggle off? Am I spinning my tires here?

Does smartswitch restore the firmware correctly?
It is absolutely essential either with ODIN or Smartswitch that after the firmware installs, it boots to recovery to complete the upgrade.
If this does not happen then you will have issues and one of them is WIFI being unable to be toggled on.
If you can't get this to work on Nougat then I suggest you downgrade to Marshmallow first. The same thing applies regarding the upgrade to Nougat.

So I just successfully downgraded to 6.0.1. I waited for the boot to recovery and the wifi button still doesn't stay activated when I turn it on.
I also followed the smartswitch instructions to the t multiple times and never interrupted the process. I'm hoping I did it right.

When it boots to recovery do you get the erasing and updating messages?

Yes I did
How did you downgraded to Marshmallow? I had been having issues with it for days.
I am having the exact same problem with my SM-T813, the wifi toggle switch will not turn on after it asks to connect to wifi to verify my identity. I have tried various firmwares to no avail.
Has anybody come up with a solution? Any input would be appreciated
