[Q] xoom wifi root wifi error

I rooted my xoom wifi and now when I go to settings to set up my wifi, it says error instead of scanning. any fixes?

I would try reflashing the kernel.

who sounds like the kernel didn't flash right. try the post above me said chances are you just need to re push the kernel files.

how did you flash? if you used adb, you most likely did not push all the modules.... if you used cwr you may of had an error and should reflash.

lostttttt
Hello fellow xoomers, im having a problem hope some one can help me. first off i'm a noob to rooting. I have a xoom wifi running android 3.0 , kernel version is 2.6.36.3 build HRI39. I was adventurous and tried to root my xoom and needless to say it didn't go well. I honestly thought I bricked the damn thing, to my shock and welcomed surprised I was able to do a wipe and erase all the data on my device and return to factory settings. but when it went to connect to the wifi all it's saying is wifi error every thing else seems to work fine. so i was wondering should i try to re root my xoom again??? will this correct the issue i'm having with my wifi?? and can some one point me to a guide that's made for the version i'm currently running seems likes there's a million and one different types of software and you have to have the right one for the version your running or every thing goes from sugar to well you know the rest. Any help would be greatly appreciated if you need any more info please let me know. thank you all in advance.....

[Q] TF300 not connecting to wifi

Okay so Im not that new with rooting androids or with using custom roms, so I'm not that much of a noob. The other day I decided since CM9 was in official nightlies I would give it a try. So I backed up my rom which was stock and rooted and I installed CM9 all through CWM recovery. Once in CM9 i notice the tablet wont connect to my phones tethering which is the only way I can get internet on it so I deciced to go back to my backup. But now on my backup the Wifi wont even turn on, anyideas why?

Hello,
I got exactly the same problem. I have installed CWM 5.5.0.4 and I tried CM9 nightly and return to Nandroid BackUp. Then no more wifi..
I tried to flash differents versions of stock kernels, but it was impossible to flash it : "Installation aborded"..
I used fastboot to install a new recovery : TWRP, but same problem : impossible to flash any kernels..
Does someone has the same problem? Or any idea to solve it?
Thank a lot !

I also had another question...
is there any rom that will connect to Android tethering (ad-hoc)?
I was able to connect on stock rom rooted with cwm recovery but now every rom I tried so far wont connect to it.
Is there a way to work around this issue

+1 That's the fix (WPA_Spullicant2) that worked for me. My TF300 just kept saying "Saved" when trying to connect to ad-hoc. Replaced the WPA_Supplicant2 file and all is working well.

It's a known issue with wifi not working on stock rooted nandroid backups. If you go back to stock, you will need to follow the step in this post from Xplod.

I have the same problem. Tried various ROMs from various people (CM [arjen, hehappy], MIUI, AOKP), also various kernels... no results.

Although the problem still exists, but now, at least I know that there are some other persons on the planet who suffer just like me! It also indicates that it is a systematic problem and there may be a solution. We have to keep trying.

I dont have any problems on wifi. I dont use wifi much since I rely on data connection. But phone/ROM scans and displays network without any problems.
Currently Im using AOKP milestone build #6 and its stable apart from some minor bugs.
See if you can use wifi tethering....

I also have exact same problem - NO WIFI on Android 4.x.x. Problem is related to SIM card and Baseband issue. If you flash ROM with no SIM card, wifi works! If you install SIM card wifi no longer works.
First discovered this when I upgraded from Froyo to LG 2.3.3 and the wireless would not work then, and I had to change network selection from Automatic, and select my service provider manually to get WiFi to work. I think the problem with 4.x.x is similar, but it gives an error trying to manually select the service provider, so wifi does not work.
I have 20G baseband (latest I think).
Does anyone else have error when selecting service provider manually?
CyanogenMod-7 nightly builds wifi works perfectly. Just fails with any 4.x.x versions.

Problem Solved!!

[Q] WiFi&BT is not working

Hi,
Yesterday sudelly my wifi and BT isn't working, Wifi giving me "error" when I am tring to enable it.
Today I flashed a new kernel with a new ROM and it is still not working.
I tried to use Wifix manager and it didn't help either.
Anyone one got any idea what to do?
I am currently running CM10 by Kang rom and his kernel.

I'm not to familiar with that rom but have you tried to do a clean install with full wipe? I'm running jelly bean too but different rom and was having Wi-Fi problems it just would not connect. So I did a full wipe and another clean install then it started working perfectly for me. It' couldn't hurt to try. Hope this helps. It worked for me. Best wishes

I wiped everything from the recovery and installed new rom.
Did you have the problem with the masseage "error" on wifi?

Mine kept saying "connecting" but never connected. It just kept connecting over and over. But would not actually connect. After I wiped again and did another install it connected without a problem however I never got a message actually saying "error".by chance have you tired another rom to see if it connects ? Could be rom related? Maybe try another rom and see if the error continues to appear?
Or is this happening on all roms you install?

First I tried to reinstall my old rom and still didn't worked but now I tested with different rom and still having that issue.
I hope its not an hardware problem.

Have you tried wifix? I believe you can download from here it might help.

Im having same problem! But in JB roms my BT IS working so I think its not hardware problem coz BT and WIFI are on same chip. And more and more ppl are getting this problem and looks like no one can help us. So pls DEVS help us somehow .

Anyone might know the answer for this?

Could be a hardware issue. It's happening on my phone too, and i've flashed several roms.
This occured right after I dropped by my phone, and since it's both BT and Wifi, which the antenna's are located in the same relative area on the phone - i'd assume that's the issue.

Wifi not turning on

I've had this problem for over 2-3 months now.
It happened when I updated my ROM to the newest Cm11 kit kat ROM.
I tried flashing different versions, currently i reverted my ROM to an older 4.2.2 CM 10.1 ROM thinking it would solve the problem but it still remains.
The wifi button is grayed out, and is always saying "Turning wifi on...". However, when I go into wifi (where the said msg is) i can change the button but it doesn't make a difference.
Bluetooth too doesn't work (the button won't stay on "ON")

if you are on S-OFF use wifix manager app and see how it goes
otherwise check the antenna which is responsible for wifi in the back cover and see if it makes connection
try to lift it up gently

I tried using WiFix manager and all I think it did was change the region code to which ever country I set it.
Although it gives me an error when i try checking for updates.
I'm not sure about the antenna though (tried nudging it), don't think it's a hardware problem since I can't get Wifi to turn on and search for networks.
Edit: I get no or weak reception without the cover, should that happen?

what error do you have?
did you try to use a ruu.exe?

When i dial *#94349# i get "Connection problem or invalid MMI" whilst I'am connected to the internet via 3G (it works).
And, no. I haven't used ruu.exe.

it restores everything back to stock
then you can check if wifi works
if it still fails then probably it is hardware failure
try also NextGenGTR's suggestion

I have 3 phones with the same issue. One is S-Off and custom firmware and ROM, two are completely stock. It isn't a hardware issue for sure. It came due to some software bug. I don't know is it a bug in firmware, in radio or in kernel...

Nah, only thing lifting my cover does is that my cell loses reception.
Currently I'am meddling with android sdk which I need for the ruu.exe to work properly.
God it sure is quite a lot workaround to get this thing to setup properly.
