[Q] Radio Update w/BAMF1.5, WiFi error

As a new poster I'm not allowed to post in the Bamf 1.5 Remix thread.
Just flashed BAMF 1.5 Remix and the radio update. 4G is working, and everything else that I can see so far, BUT Wifi won't enable. Under WiFi in the Wireless and network settings, it simply says "error."
Anyone having this issue?
Thanks

Everything running perfectly on normal BAMF 1.5 WITH NEW RADIO

+1. No issue on my end.

My wifi is also working fine, but my email is acting a little screwy.

No issues here but when I do have issues like that I usually re-download, re-wipe, and re-install even thought its a pain

I have received that error before but it was kernel related. You might want to flash a different kernel and see if that fixes your issue.

Did you wipe data/cache ?
I would do a Titanium Backup and then wipe data/cache, first.
Then before you restore your Titanium Backup, check and see if your WiFi is working. If so, it's not the ROM or kernel, but rather something else.

Most kernels include some kind of modified wifi driver (and other) files that goes in the /system/library folders.
Reverting or flashing a different kernel that doesn't replace them will cause issues.
I don't use BAMF and haven't flashed the new leaked radio or firmware yet, but this is a common problem for kernel flashers.
Flash or reflash a BAMF compatible kernel and see if that fixes it.

No probs here!

Thanks very much for the suggestions, guys.
I flashed an older kernel and the WiFi is good as of now.
I was looking forward to using the new BAMF 4.4.2 kernel, but I guess it will take some more tinkering on my part.
P.S. On first install I did wipe, flash and repeat.

[Q] Diagnosing Random Crashes/Freezes

Hello android gurus/deities (too much?),
Just got my first smartphone, a Droid Charge. Great phone, especially for the price. The screen is freaking fantastic and of course Android is amazing as ever.
However, since first activating it, I seem to get random crashes. I can't replicate the problem, since it doesn't seem connected to anything visual. First time it happened when I decided to check out the camera, took a picture, and tried to view it. Other times have been the first time trying out netflix, first time sending a text. Seems to happen the first time I use some apps.
The crash basically consists of a short 5-10 second freeze followed by a reboot. Any ideas? Is this a hardware issue I need to have addressed or more likely a software issue that I just need to wait for updates to come along and fix it? Or is this a common occurence with Android and I just need to suck it up? lol
Edit: Has also happened 3 or 4 times while browsing the web, including this site...

charges hardware are pretty great for the price the software is a big issue for the charge whitch is why most of us myself included suggest rooting your device whitch literally a dummy could do using odin... i am running a stock based of a leak called infinity rom pretty amazing for a stockish rom for now so reboots are known at least for me but i really think the majority of the problem for this phone is the software gps loss signal going in and out as in data (this is a hit and miss) ..... hope this helped you iron things out...

Out of curiosity, what will rooting my device accomplish with respect to the reboots? Anything?
I rooted the device, then tried infinityROM but ran into so many problems I flashed back to the factory rom X(... Rooted again, but still get reboots, any ideas?

Where can I get a more solid kernel? From reading around it sounds like that "might" solve the reboots :\

Also depends what rom you are running.

If it keeps happening after you root and flash a new kernel (and maybe install a rom) upload a logcat to a filesharing place and hop on IRC to ask for help.

Thanks... once that site's back up I'll download a the kernel from there... The kernel on that page should work my Charge if it's currently the factory rom right?
Edit: Just to check, Imoseyon's kernel (listed here is the only available kernel aside from the factory kernel? I should try flashing this to see if it fixes my problem? Where can I get the factory kernel (just the kernel :\) if things go awry?
Edit2: Also found imnut's PBJT kernel here. I'm unaware of some of the terminologies (I've only messed with a couple Ubuntu/Fedora distros of linux), can this and any other kernel for the Charge work with Gingerbread (2.3.6)?

PBJ is a Froyo kernel. It will only work with Froyo.

The only fix is update with OTA or downgrade the Hboot.

I ran into the same issue with 3 other ROMs today. Finally used TWRP recovery (instead of the CWM I had been using) and installed JellyBam 4.0.0 (and flashed the boot.img with fastboot.)
I can't say that's what fixed it because I can't honestly say the other ROMs were the cause of the problem. All I can tell you is that within minutes of rebooting after the install, my phone connected to wifi.
Good luck with it - I'm sure others who actually know what they're talking about will offer more than I can.

Thanks guys just wanted to see what my solutions were.

Don't help with Sense based roms.

Any guides or links on how to update? I'm on my phone atm.
Seems every HTC device is different when it comes to this stuff lol
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app

Never had wifi issues on my 1.14. Although the only sense-based roms Ive used have been ICS ones. Maybe the wifi wouldnt work on JB sense roms.
Wifi works fine on JB AOSP roms though.

Similar problems with wifi. I've tried several ROM's, lastly Jellybam 4.0.0, came from CM10, before that some other custom rom, now stock 3.16.401.8. I think my wifi hardware is broken. Going tomorrow to warranty service. I'm not expecting the warranty to cover this since I tried several ROM's, but I will try and see what happens.

Downgrade your hboot man worked like a charm. If you need any help with the process just lmk

[Q] Strange Rom Issues

Alrighty, this is one of the weirdest things I've had happen with a phone since I started doing this on the original Droid. Lately I've been using Jellybeans Rom, its been great and my longest running ROM so far, but like a lot of people here I have to try out new stuff quite often just to try it. Well anymore I cant seem to try much else, I wanted to run the newest Liquid Smooth 2.3 ROM that just hit and it wont work at all really, before I redid the whole phone every time I flashed LS 2.3 I couldnt even hit the start button when the ROM first installed, when I did it wouldnt do anything and then the screen would go black and I would have to hard reset or battery pull. Next boot up seemed to go fine, got my gmail up and running and titanium downloaded and then after that, hitting settings options would lock up the phone in just about any app I had, never even got around to trying to restore anything with titanium.
Re-flashed LS 2.3 three or four times and nothing changed, tried fixing permissions, fully wiping, etc. didnt matter. So naturally I figured it was simply the ROM on my phone (mind you LS 2.2 worked fine before) so I went and decided I would try out Avatar ROM, CM based with MIUI themes, this ROM did pretty much the same thing. No idea why...
Next I figured something maybe was wrong with my phone so I went back to the drawing board and started from factory with ODIN, I redid my ROM with stock/root, unlocked the boot loader again and redid custom recovery and all the same thing with LS 2.3 happened all over again, Stock ROM worked great for the bit of time I used it before I tried to reflash LS 2.3 again, Now I'm back running Jellybeans v.15 and it runs perfectly fine as well.
I really have no idea what the problem is, both of those ROMs I've tried are CM based original development, so I'm wondering if its something in there thats causing an issue over the TW ROMs I've used. I've used other TW ROMs with decent success, but I've had some issues with those too that you wouldnt think should happen but it wasnt anything worth noting, just like Jellybeans the best, but even some of those would give me slow down problems and occasional lock ups when Jellybeans doesnt.
Anyone have any clue as to what could be causing this? I used to be able to run non TW roms just fine and its only been in the past month that this has started happening that I've noticed, I've had the phone since January and have been flashing away this whole time and now I cant seem to try out any more ROMs without having major issues......ugh

Your situation is a very random situation but I have something similar happened to me involving TW ROMs in that some of them froze on me. I had to flash the stock ROM.

Bump, anyone having any kind of similar problems?

If you've only had these issues in the last month, it could be attributed to the Linux 3.4 kernel that every AOSP rom has moved to. I wouldn't let that stop you though. Are you downloading these rom zips over WiFi or mobile data? Were your downloads taking awhile as well? I know either GOO or AFH was having server issues recently which may have coincided with your downloads. I'd suggest using WiFi if you aren't already and trying again?

Yeah its only been fairly recent and all roms I've tried have been updated since the very end of april, if my phone has major problems with that linux kernal am I going to be able to flash anything again? Everything I downloaded was over wifi but I can try all the downloads again but I'm thinking that won't fix anything, just weird stuff

After installing rom wifi and radio shutoff

I'm using a stock rooted galaxy s2 I have tried Cyanogen (stable and nightlys). As well as dragonics (which contains a new kernal and modem). ObviouSly I wiped and cleared data and caches as well as dalvik. Still no wifi or radio signal to even make a call or use 3g. I updated prl, user profile and anything else it would let me but the only running rom that has radio is the rooted stock I'm using. At this point I am at a loss and just put some themes on to at least make it look like I accomplished something.
I have searched forums and found people with wifi problems after installation but nothing about it all not working
Anyone have any ideas?
(also fairly new to this so if I'm posting or not searching properly I apologize)
