[Q] Wifi wont turn on! - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Recently my Galaxy S WiFi turned off and it wont turn back on no matter what I try. So far I've tried clearing the Caches, Factory reset and I tried reinstalling the ROM as a whole. I'm currently on CM11. Help please!!!
Thanks in advance

Flash stock rom. Then reflash cyanogenmod.
P.S: man, it's been ages since I've posted on the s1 forum of xda.

Did you read whole OP of the CM11 thread?
Short before OP end pawitp has written under FAQ how to solve wifi issue.

Do you have a link to the FAQ?

I issued the command to wipe WiFi data, but it still wont budge.

Could it be the kernel I was running? I had some weird venom one I believe. I really don't know though I'm just throwing anything out there.

I have the same issue.
I am rather new here, so give me a thread, if any, where to find the solution.

Need help BADLY

Please bear with me. I tried posting questions about this in the Q/A forum and received no real help.
I recently went from FRF50 to FRF83 and started getting random reboots. I'm on the 4.06.00.12_07 radio with the stock kernel. I wiped everything before flashing.
Today I wiped again and reflashed FRF50 and everything seemed to be okay aside from maybe 1 reboot.
I just flashed the stock FRF85B and rooted it and I'm back to rebooting. It's even worse now. It reboots the instant everything loads.
I got the last_kmsg:
http://pastebin.org/365407
Please let me know what's wrong. I'm dying to know. Is it hardware? Is it the battery? Am I going to have to pay a buttload of cash for HTC to fix it?
Thanks for any help
1) This is the wrong forum and you know it.
2) Wipe everything, start over from stock rom.

Is it the wrong forum? Do people at the Q/A or general forum know about kernels/deeper info and do the people who know about that stuff venture over to those forums?
I tried getting info there, and I got none. This is the last place to turn.
What would wiping and starting from stock achieve?
No excuse for posting in the wrong location. But wipe data, all caches and reflash stock rom + radio. Report in General Section.

How will this help me? Okay if stock works, but what about the update?
Why not maybe looking at using one of the moded versions of the Rom. If those dont work then maybe you need to think of going back to the Stock 2.1 and waiting for OTA to hit your phone. Going back to 2.1 will fix the problem and getting the OTA should work. Other wise wiping and reflashing is all that someone can tell you to do since I know i am using FRF83 right now with no reboots.
Just wipe everything inc dalvik-cache
Stock kernel keeps rooting so I guess its a framework issue

I'm going to try to go back to stock and see if it works. If not I can only assume that it is a hardware problem and I'll have to bite the bullet and pay for repairs.
What kind of a hardware problem could it be???
Can someone help me get back to stock properly?

Sticky is full of bad info. I have new radio (4.06.00.12_07).
I'm assuming that if I get stock radio and the ERD79 update.zip I should be fine?

FML. Hardware issue. Just went through CM 5.0.8. flash from scratch including re-flashing new radio and new recovery and I got a reboot during sign-in to Google.
God ****ing dammit.
Any logcat?
if you have an ext partition.. wipe that as well..
might be a battery issue. my battery had been overheated during navigation and right after boot it would give out turn off and boot again. just replaced it and worked fine.
To check battery issue, I suppose running with charger inserted would be enough.

What do you mean by this?
I'm pretty sure it is the battery. Been keeping minimal use today without USB charging and haven't had a reboot.
Any other ways I can confirm a bad battery?

If you can successfully boot and use the phone heavily while connected to a charger (preferrably AC charger - it can provide twice the current of USB cable), and you see no reboots - I believe that would point to your battery with a very high probability.

[REQUEST] Dell Streak has a virus, NEED HELP !!??

Hey guys!
I need some help. A friend of mine came to me with a Dell Streak 7. The streak currently has 2.2.2 on it and at first seemed to be pretty stable. However, after navigating a bit on it, things were constantly force closing and crashing.
So I decided to do a factory reset, first through the settings, and when the Streak turned back on, everything was still the same. So my next try was through fastboot. Did full facory reset including user data, looked to work fine, until it turned on and it was EXACTLY the same!! I tried gingerroot to get root and then flash a new ROM and hopefully wipe it that way, but NOTHING, has work.
I am pretty good at this stuff and never ran into this type of problem. If ANYBODY has any ideas on how to get this completely wiped back to factory or even rooted with a clean boot image, i'm all ears!!
Thank you in advance for any information you guys can offer!!

Well, thank Dell but you can't reset using the Android tools, you have to use their custom recovery to do it. Which is why it's exactly like it was, and it'll remain that way. You'll likely have to send it into Dell.
And yeah, douchebaggery is tagging your thread with "virus".
Restore to factory settings using nvflash the instructions r preety straight forward. Here's the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1018809&highlight=nvflash
Just follow the instructions if ur not sure read them again and again. If u don't understand some of the terminoly just Google the search terms ull be OK.
There is a medicine for your bug its called honeystreak or should i call it the transformerfreak lol

[Q] browser flickering and slight lag after PA rom update

Hi all,
I have just updated to the latest version of Paranoid Android for the i9305 (3.97) (default kernel) and I am experiencing some rather significant flickering and black overlapping at the top of the screen whilst all versions of my browsers are loading contents of a webpage.
EDIT: it appears this occurs on any apps that loads data from the internet as I have jua experienced this on my eBay and stumbleupon apps too.
I have attached an example of such an occurrence on my browser.
There is also a slight but noticeable lag while executing simple procedures but is more prevalent whilst surfing on browsers.
I have tried to search threads relating to this matter without any luck. I apologise if such a matter is common but I am very limited with time as I usually barely two hours of free time a day and have already focused all of it on my device today.
If any could give me any tips or heads up towards the right direction, I would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Deckz

Thanks for your correspondence.
Yup, that is the exact process I have followed. I read all instructions prior to making changes on my phones.
Would you recommend I should just downgrade back to a previous version of PA that was working perfect for me?
EDIT: sorry, I will ask on the PA Q&A tonight.

[Q] Now my kids device

I gave my kids my old Galaxy S1 Captivate. I have left the sim card in so that the "Emergency Call" button did not show up on the lock screen and I got a new sim anyway. Is there a way to remove the sim and get rid of the call feature all together? I was going to root the phone and update to 4.4 when I can. Is there a way to get rid of the "phone" features? I also have a Moto Atrix that I was going to do the same thing for my other kid as well. Any help would be great.
If it's rooted you can delete the phone and messaging apps

When I tried rooting it, I got "E:signature verification failed Instalation aborted." didnt know what that meant so I was going to try to redo it on my pc. I originally tried to email the update.zip to myself and save it to the phone and reboot it that way but I obviously did something wrong.
Try again and report

Try CF Autoroot from the play store (or think you can find it here).
Otherwise, you can flash a kernel with Odin (Corn for GB, Speedmod for Froyo) and enable root in recovery.

Flash a kernel with CWM, flash CM7, then follow the instruction in the thread linked

cm-10.1.3-captivatemtd.zip then gapps-jb-20130729.zip
did I do the wrong gapps?
Try this:
- do Factory Reset
- clear cache
- clear dalvik
- re-flash CM10.1.3 package
- flash latest Android 4.2.2 gapps 20130812
- reboot in recovery
- do Factory Reset one more time
- clear cache
- clear dalvik
- reboot
See if this helps. Usually solves unexplained FC issues.
Sometimes it's just a bad download. If no luck, try to re-download the packages.

Yes, the phone will still go back to my daughter. It was a testing ground for me, since it is the first time. I will also be rooting and flashing my son's Moto Atrix and my Galaxy Tab 10.1 (first gen) "the one I really wanted to do". I also have my Galaxy S3 and my wifes Galaxy S3, but I wont be touching those just yet. Needed to get my feet wet. Now I need to figure out how to disable the phone feature part of the phones, and other stuff I don't want them to get into.
BTW, my kids are 4 almost 5, so all they need is the games. Using our old phones is much cheaper than buying any kind of game system.

[Q] Problems Installing - ★AMCHA Rom v5.00

So I've tried installing this half a dozen times, I did a full wipe I'm using the i9305 and installing this using both kernel options for the knox based bootloader, after it completes installation it says complete, reboot the phone and I end up stuck at the Samsung Galaxy s3 black screen and it never boots into the os.
I noticed while installing this it installs some modem not sure what one it is but I thought perhaps that was the issue, to installed went straight into download mode and flashed a optus modem i've been using for my phone rebooted but still same issue.
Would appreciate some help with this, I've tried searching the thread for similar issues no such luck.
Thanks

True, that could be it, except i thought of that myself and just hit next next next to the end and hit install to see if it would help matters it didn't. Yeah I tried posting there to begin with, but even if your an advanced person you have to post here first lol fun times
I did think maybe there's a newer version of philz recovery out and mine just buggers it up some how it offers to install 6.41.6 not sure what my version is.. it crossed my mind tho but I wouldn't presume that's the most likely of causes.
