so... i am about to pull out all of my hair trying to sort out an issue!
ever since root, i have not been able to connect to any wifi!
i have tried 3 different roms, latest versions of each
CM7
RCMix
MIUI
on all 3 of them, when i try to connect to a free wifi hotspot, or my wireless hotspot at home, or a friends wireless hotspot... the connect button is always greyed out and will not allow me to connect.
steps to root were done by attn1 hack kit v10c
i have wiped data and cache and all of the good stuff before installs
ive also flashed the PD98IMG radio, in hopes that it was a radio issue
so... it is still doing the same thing, so, i dont know what to do anymore, it is driving me nuts that i cant use wifi!
ANY THOUGHTS?
please help!
thanks!!!
I run into the same issue occationally on my evo. What usually fixes is
1. Turn off wifi
2. Forget/delete any stored networks ( usually my home network)
3. Re enable wifi
Let me know if it works for you.
what exactly do you see when trying to connect "Obtainig IP" or does it time out or something?

WIFI problems after ROM update on ATT tilt
After installing the official ATT ROM update (1.62.502.0) on my ATT tilt I have
wifi problems. This was not present before installing the ROM update.
I can connect just fine to all access points with the comm mananger. However, when I try
to browse the internet, I get the message "Page cannot be found. Please check spelling and
try again". I get this message with all with web sites.
I know there's something wrong because this happens even on unsecured networks like airports,
coffee shops etc. Other programs needing internet acces don't work either (like the
weather update, Quick GPS etc)
Before you ask ... Yes, I have searched extensively before posting.
Okay, now that that's out of the way...
I noticied that others have experienced the same problem and I did found several suggestions
however none of these work . This is what I have tried until now:
- hard reset (1234) and soft reset
- flashed the ROM again
- flashed other roms
- flashed an other radio sign
- deleted the temporary internet files
- changed the browser settings
- disable / able proxy settings
- run again welcome.exe in the /windows directory
- refresch in PIE
- restored a sprite backup
Here are some (but not all) of the URL's where I found these 'solutions':

None of all this worked ...
I have been searching for days (and nights) now ... It's driving me crazy ...
especially beacuse the new ROM should provide 'more stability' accordingly to the HTC website ...
For me this new ROM only caused problems .....
Please help me.
Thank you, yours,

weird.. I was in a spot where I had zero service and I connected to my wifi and it worked and it's been working ever since.
Something similar happened to me while trying ROMs, the 1.65.XX.XX radios do not work well with my WiFi router, it connects and gets an IP but does not transfer packets, after 2 minutes or so of trying you can access a page, but then it fails again, etc
This happens with 1.65.14.06 and 1.65.20.29 radios.
I'm running 1.65.16.25 radio now and it works well, GPS fix is fast, WiFi connection works, 3G and HSDPA work,
You guys might need to put the power mode of the wifi to performance. This is under settings.

Yes I know there's that setting. But I tested 1.65 radios while seated at 10 feet from my WiFi router and in direct line of sight. Radio 1.58.26.20 has very fast GPS fix, and connects perfectly to my router.
Radio 1.65.14.06 does not work well in any of those cases. Even if increasing the power of the WiFi solved the problem, it's much convenient to just flash another radio.
Hey.
I've tried so hard but i cant get WiFi tether to work.
I've flashed some custom kernels which claims to have WiFi tethering working, but still!
can someone please tell me how to?
set your static ip on the computer to 192.168.2.100
set the subnet mask to 255.255.255.255
set the default gateway to 192.168.2.254
set the dns to 192.168.2.254
then install a terminal emulator on your phone and enter;
ping 192.168.2.100
now you should have connection, its scetchy so just wait if its not instantanious

Used my tether (WI-FI spot) last night at a music store to download some drivers for a midi controler for my DJ software. just turned on the sprint app, and my laptop found it really quick downloaded the drivers for the program i was gonna test and i was done, just like that.
yey EVO!!!
wifi troubles
had the same trouble after the nand unlock wouldn't connect, i replaced the 2_0_5 pre with the 2_0_2-pre14 and it worked
good luck hope this helps
After the first stage root, I installed DamageControl 3.0 and both 4G and wifi tether wouldn't work for me. Installing Fresh fixed my issue.
Although I only saw people fixated on the 4G issue and nobody mentioning tether, it seems to me the two were related in some way.
I have not unlocked NAND yet. What was your process; where are you with your device?
2_0_5 works fine on my evo, its nand rooted. I just trun it on, no need to set anything. Then I fire up the laptop and just click connect to my androidtether. Transferred over 500MB this morning on it no troubles.
i have a question.. wireless tethering has been working for me very well, on wednesday i even had it connected for like 3 consecutive hours.. researching some homework for my humanities class.. but now it disconnects randomly.. with no warning or notification anyone know what can be the cause of this? its very annoying..
just download the one from the market. the one included in most roms doesn't appear to work for anyone either.
I have ran Fresh v0.2 and currently v0.3. I've never had any issues using Wireless Tether included with this ROM.
Those having issues: You are rooted corrected? If you are try the typical uninstalling/reinstalling. Titanium backup would allow you to backup the App and reinstall it. If that doesn't work try a different Rom.
Process of elimination.
2.0.2 works well on my ipad.
I am rooted with SimpleRoot, but that alone did not work with Wifi Tether. So i went ahead and rooted with Unrevoked...WifiTether works well after that. Good Luck.
Since I rooted my phone using Unrevoked, applied UnrevokedForever, and updated my phone with an RUU
I cannot get my wifi connections to work. They connect to the router just fine, require my encryption passwords, obtain an IP address but if I connect to them it is as if I am getting no data whatsoever. If I try to connect to the marketplace, it gives me a network error.
As soon as I disable wifi, my data connections work, so my 3G connection is fine. I can turn on wifi tethering and it works fine too. I followed the directions from the following thread (I cannot paste a url without permission):
"OTA 2.2 Update With Root Made Easy"
What would cause this to happen? Does anyone have any idea of how to try and fix it? I've searched and searched, and I cannot find the answer. I admit that I'm a noob, but I have been reading a lot on these forums, and I'm wondering if it had to do with the radio flash, which scares the hell out of me.
ok this is like most other wifi threads for the g2x concerning the wifi... it just simply wont work. i've tried all possible methods i can find to get it to work.. tried all wifi/dns fixer apps i could find and still no connection..tried factory resetting and running the wifi at first set up no go.. tried the whole turn off data turn on wifi turn on wifi calling etc etc also no go ... and last but not least tried several roms/kernels like wg2x, eblood,cm7 also a no go...
wondering if anyone know other methods i can try to resolve this issue? or maybe im doing somethinfg wrong? or its just the phone and is in need of replacing?

Sounds like your connecting wrong or the password is wrong. Your phone's wifi is working as it is on, sees the network, and trying to connect. Your router is denying it.
Best solution would be to confirm your access. Perhaps remove any security and/or just default the thing. Could be anything.

So, before rooting, my One X had great Wifi connection. No issues. Now that I'm rooted, I can't connect to wifi to save my life. I tried the wifi fix (not the ROM, but the 3 files instead) and still nothing.
I've tried turning off Mobile Network while wifi was on, turning mobile network on while wifi was on, tried restarting the wifi....
I cannot get a connection to the Store, browsers won't open webpages, it's essentially done for. Yet every other device in my house can access the router just fine (and it's not just here, it's elsewhere.)
Anyone have any ideas how to fix this short of flashing the new ROM (which I can't do from my house since the HTC drivers always fail to install.)
Have you tried running fix permissions to see if there's some sort of error holding things up? The only other thing I could think to do is to do a factory restore of the phone, unfortunately...
