[q] wifi "error" - EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

No matter what ROM/Kernel I flash to i loose my WIFI access. When I go into settings/Wifi it just says ERROR. Anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong?

With CM7.0.3.1, I have been using bcblends tinyrcu (available through kernel manager) and leave min/max as is (806max/245min) make sure you wipe cache/dalvik before installing the kernel...
Hope this works for you.

When it does that is your SD card not mounted anymore and requires a reboot for it to see it again? That happens to me smetimes

SD card should be mounted. It's only unmounted when I plug my phone to the computer to transfer files and such...

Same thing happens to me with kernels. Sometimes Wimax too. I'm using mik shift, works fine with stock kernel.

I have a regular evo with this same problem, tried 3 dif kernals, and upteen romflashes.... still have wifi error in settings

still no progress on this, i still have this problem... super gay

I too am getting an "Error" when trying to turn wifi, Logcat says " Wifi Driver missing" have tried rebooting, and flashing another rom. any help?

Well it's probably been said before, but here goes When you flash a new Rom make sure you do a FULL wipe. It's seems trivial, but not doing this can and usually does cause all kinds off issues. Also, you should check your WiFi settings, and make sure they're correct.

Full wipe has been done and what wifi settings are you talking about? phone settings can't be accessed because the phone can't turn wifi "on". is it possible to extract the wifi driver from another shift? i have another one at my disposal. BTW wifi was working a day ago no problem. i havn't flashed a new ROM in months and was on a stock rooted rom.

Have you tried to ruu back to stock to see if you have the same issue? Or nandroid back to a version where it worked?
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App

yea ruu'd back to froyo, re-rooted and reinstalled updated radios, and am back to gb. any idea where the wifi drivers would be? thanks for the replies.

Have you just tried it from a stock froyo rom? RUU back to 2.2 and just try it from there. It should reflash all the proper radios. Maybe the wifi chip is defective in the phone too. It happened at work to a co-workers playbook.

+1 on that. Also if it was working then not. Something else might be up, are other devices able to connect to that WiFi spot with no issues? It is possible to extract the wifi driver from another SHift. But if you just RUU back to stock it should work. If not somethingelse is definately wrong. To get to the settings: Menu-Settings-Wireless & Networks-Wi-Fi settings-menu-Avanced.

yea went ruu'd back to stock, no dice. wifi just says "error" after "turning on", must be an internal problem. other devices work fine on this point. what would be the steps to extracting the driver from another shift, i have one ready to go.

If you RUU'd back to stock, and it's a still no good. Then you might want to consider getting a replacement if WiFi is really important to you. Especially if you know for sure that other devices can connect, and you cannot on a stock Rom. But you do risk getting an updated Shift. Not a risk worth taking in my eyes. Did you make sure and check all the settings?

Yea all the settings are good, it definitely seems to be an internal problem at this point. I'm weighing the options right now and came close to ruu'ing to gb to see if it solved the problem, but I just couldn't give up root.
only 2 things come to mind on what caused this, i attempted to update to the newest ota htc update over the stock rom, ( i know stupid, got the android + !) and i installed an app to transfer files over wifi.
Wifi isn't too important but I hate the feeling of not having my phone %100.

Same problem here. I just got a wifi-error running the latest shift-deck. The phone was brand new with a bad esn (planning to flash to a different carrier) and was first turned on 8/2/11. so basically 2 weeks turned on. This just happened 2 days ago. Cleared everything and flashed again. Don't know how to RUU or what it is. Anyone want to explain?

Ruu basically puts the phone back as if it were just out of the box. There is a thread somewhere here with the file. Just make sure you get the froyo version, otherwise you won't be able to root.

2. Flash Via Odin
3. Wait 5min to boot
4. Hit Thanks
The messed up Rainbow at boot is normal if using Froyo BootLoaders just wait it will boot.

If I apply this (without manually doing a factory reset along the way), will I retain all of my apps and app data through this process?
I know I've used ODIN to update to the current stock release and used ODIN on my Vibrant and didn't lose my apps and app data.
Yes, there was some people in another thread that said you ALWAYS lose data when you update. I know they are wrong, but not sure what the case is with this particular update.
Does that fact that it's deodexed make it less likely that the data will be retained?
just flashed and waited 15 minutes on the rainbow screen, flashed again,same thing. how long does it take to boot the first time?

What were you running prior to this flash?
If you are having troubles with this flash please give more info, what rom did you have before, what bootloaders are you using? Any info helps so that I can narrow down any issues and fix them.

had the fully stock gb rom that shipped with the phone. i was able to flash with no problems, just cant get it to connect to the network just keeps saying searching, wifi calling and txting work just fine.
-edit
oh right after i did the flash, i did do sgs unlock pro app. not sure if that would of caused any problems but it looks like my IMEI is showing up as .[]x[]~ ".[]x[]~
I was having issues with this version and getting stuck on samsung screen a whole lot; and i'm talking about i started clean with KC1 full with .pit>whitehawkxKD1+root>then this rom.
tried the other route and odined back to KD1>boot into cwm>checked mount and flashed the cwm version. worked flawlessly; except the rainbow, ofcourse.
my recommendations are quiet obvious

Refurbished G2X and Flashing ROMS

I'm currently using the newest Weapon G2X ROM on my phone...
Like many of you, this ROM is working just fine, but I get the itch to try something new.
I've tried to flash the new EaglesBlood release (1.9), and I've also tried the latest CM7 and MIUI.
I'm DEFINITELY NOT a pro at flashing ROMs, but I've done enough successful flashes to know how to do it correctly. In all of the above mentioned ROMS, my phone will freeze up on the boot screen, or I will get booted, but not even be able to sync a google account or reload apps... My phone will lock up and I'll have to battery pull.
In another thread this morning, I saw a user mention that the REFURBISHED handsets sometimes have problems with some ROMs and OC'd kernals...
Is anyone else having this problem? This kind of makes sense for me.

That should not be the case. The only difference in a refurbished handset is the model number. Other than that, and the fact is is previously used but everything reflashed to stock by LG or TMO, the ROMs should work the same as a DW model phone.

Before flashing a new ROM did you do a factory data reset, format the system partition and clear the Dalvik cache? If not you will have problems as you described. You need to wipe the phone clean between flashing different roms. If upgrading to a new version of the same rom you might get away without a wipe. But if you are changing roms the steps I mentioned above are essential or you will often get bootloops or the phone will lock up during boot.

the Best I've found if you want gingerbread style is Hellfire phoenix
or if you want ICS style is Hellfire sandwich v1.6 (which is what I am using for a while now)
the only problem that I found is the video camera but other than that everything else works fine on my G2X. they update couple times a month for the last 4 months so they are always trying to make things better for their users. if you have problems they are more than willing to try to help you with it. if you are using with a simple mobile setting it has a funny setup but it work very good (better wifi & phone signals)

My original g2x could handle oc and UV big time, anything the devs put out . My replacement can only handle kernels with stock voltage and oc is unstable anything past 1.1ghz. So to answer your question, may be a coincidence or may just be bad luck on our part. Remember, not every processor is created equal despite being the same phone. I get tempted to get an additional replacement every once in a while but laziness tells me otherwise.

Possibly cleaning and wiping everything soo good that you clean the new rom right off your sd card?? lol. just a thought. ive done that when i 1st started flashing roms. or possibly flashing gapps on roms that dont require you to?
edit: i just realized how old this post is. lol
the reason refurbs night have worse luck is because of all the people who send their phones back because of that, they make up a reason to tell Tmobile and get a nice shiny new one. The old one is reset and passes all the "official" stability tests and gets sent out again.

Performed it fine here with zero issue.
If your cwm is acting up, may be lot more going on here.
I suggest a return to stock
Reflash cwm
Then flash this build.

Hey, great base.
I have flashed this, the leak and a few other ics roms. On this rom I cannot get my phone to hook up to tmo 4g, edge works fine, but it wont jump from edge to 4g. I tried flashing a tmo radio but no dice.
The leak worked fine in that regard. Consistently connected to highest available signal.
what can I tweak in order to re-establish connection to tmo 4g.
I tried to go into mobile network settings and all of the settings there seem consistent with the stock tmo settings. But when i try to change network operator settings from automatic to manual it never gets past "searching"
Thanks for any help you might be able to lend
Also, i think this guy should credit The Collective.

Reboots every 20 minutes

Ive hit the wall as far as my experience fixing my phone goes, and I would REALLY appreciate any help
A few days ago I updated my rom (icecoldsandwich, if it makes a difference). I went from a stable version to a test version. After the update I began having random reboots, sometimes as often as every 20 minutes. These happen regardless of what I'm doing, sometimes even if I'm not touching the phone.
I figured these were due to the rom, so I went back to the stable version and still had the same problem. I then tried a few different builds (redemption, aospX, cm7). Still have the problem
I've tried redownloading the roms, checking the checksums, formatting my sd card, reflashing cwm. Pretty much everything I can think of and nothing has helped.
Could be the battery. This is a symptom of the battery going bad, especially if you still have the stock battery. Get your hands on another battery and see if that fixes the problem.
I have the stock battery, but the phone itself is only 3 months. Who knows how "old" it is, but it hasn't been heavily used yet
Edit: also, it has rebooted while plugged in to an ac charger. From what I've read of battery issues, they reboot when the battery goes, but NOT while plugged in
How about flashing the stock RUU and then reflash your stable version?

To be honest with you, I'm not even 100% sure what RUU is, much
less what it entails
RUU is the stock ROM Update Utility. To you it is the stock ROM that you can flash on your phone from your PC.

Hi
After learning to load diferents ROM, I habe laerned the following:
try a factory reset after you loaded the ROM.
But I will recommed to make a complete Clear Dalvik Cache and load the rom
After you loaded the ROM, perform a full reset factory
If you still having the issue, discard that rom, won´t work in your HTC

You should be factory/cache/dalvik clearing BEFORE you load the rom.
Put in any rom and try something out. Power off the cell and take out the battery. See what happens. I had a strange battery behaviour a week ago which I'll be posting in the Q&A at some point.
Sent from a dream.
I always do a full wipe (either restore/dalvik/cache, or else the super wipe script) before every flash. I have also noticed that my phone is much more stable since I took the sim out. It will still reboot, but I can get up to 10 hours in between.

Could be a rogue app, also. I know Google Reader made my phone reboot 3 different times when I was using it. Haven't had a problem since I uninstalled it.
Pi don't think its an app either. Running my phone right now with only xda and isyncr installed and still had a reboot(although it did go 3 hours this time). I ordered a new battery from amazon. Hopefully that fixes it. Should be in next week

long story short, my phone was shipped with prerelease software. After rooting and flashing a customer recovery, my original nandroid was corrupted.
The only option for me now is custom ROMs, but unfortunately my wifi gives me an error on every single ROM available.
Anyone know of a quick fix?
The only thing i can think of that would solve the issue is to possible flash the stock US ROM once it's available, then hopefully that would fix my wifi issues and i'd be able to flash to any other ROM with no problem.
Alternatively - could someone please post a flashable ZIP of the stock ROM, or at least post a stock nandroid that i would be able to restore onto my phone to see if the wifi issue gets resolved.
Did flashing the stock img work

I have a fix for you. I'm releasing it tomorrow though.
I'm releasing a stock T-Mobile nandroid final firmware and newest software.
I'm also releasing a rooted version.

After doing a bit of reading, it seems as though some people have having similar issues. The exception is that theirs is doing this while stock, and updating their router firmware fixed the problem. My phone connected to my router perfectly fine while stock...the problem didn't occur until i flashed the first custom ROM.

It's because all roms now are based on European firmware not T-Mobile firmware.
Tomorrow I'm uploading the first ever T-Mobile Rom and it'll fix everybodys problem.

Definitely sounds like a firmware or driver issue. Have you tried resetting your router or updating its firmware? Also, what kernel version are you running.

tried connecting to a different router on update stock firmware and teh issue still exists.
I was hoping that with the stock TMO-US ROM the problem would be fixed, but unfortunately not.
Now i have really no idea. It's impossible for me to live without wifi on my phone for good.

Do this:
1. Delete /data/misc/wifi folder using a file browser.
2. Clear cache using recovery. Reboot. Wifi will regenerate its data.
3. Try wifi again.
Let me know if this works. It's a shot in the dark so I don't know if that's gonna work for you, since you already seem to have performed a fac reset.

Thanks for the tip, unfortunately this didn't work either. I'm totally out of ideas at this point. Might just end up exchanging the phone and paying the out of warranty fee if they find out the boot loader was unlocked. Not really sure what's left for me to try.
Flash my T-Mobile Nandroid in recovery.

I did within ten minutes of you posting it. Unfortunately it did not solve the problem. I thought that would be the fix...
One thing I didn't notice was a clear description of the problem. Please describe what your issue is. You say the wifi gives you an error. What does that mean?
Please describe everything in detail from start to finish, before trying to return it.
WiFi will turn on, display available networks, once a network is selected it will not connect and then says "error"
then after about ten seconds the phone will reboot, then reboot after it turns on. never-ending.
only way to have the phone work is to do a master reset, but the problem starts again when you attempt to.connect to WiFi.
also the phone will not stay off when stuck in the WiFi reboot loop. if i choose "power down" it will turn off, then turn back on within 10 seconds.
That sounds very very strange. Almost like a kernel error (unlikely since kernel is included w/ ROMs), a radio issue (more likely), or a hardware issue (most likely, in my opinion). If you've already done a full wipe and wiped /system and /sdcard to be sure, then it sounds like you've done your due diligence.
At this point you might want to go ahead and reflash the stock ROM (see Reviewer's post with a nandroid of the stock ROM), reflash the stock recovery, and relock the bootloader. Unless someone else can chime in here. Also, if you return it, there's no promises that they won't look for TAMPERED or anything in the bootloader, so beware. The important thing is to have the stock software and recovery loaded and it relocked. Then they can flash it in the store, and it'll probably fail, in which case they may replace it.

Yeah i'm clueless. I've literally done absolutely EVERYTHING that i could imagine to fix the issue.
I actually work for T-Mo, we dont have any abilities to flash anything in store. Also exchanging the phone is a little bit more difficult for me, because the phone was not purchased through tmobile, it was given to me by HTC a week before launch.
Either way, I'm going to reload all the shipping stuff when i get home tonight then go ahead and try to process an exchange. Worst case scenario they will charge me ~100 bucks as an out of warranty fee. (due to having the *TAMPERED* logo on the bootloader scren. Although I'm fairly certain they don't check that, they shoudl only check for physical/liquid damage. I have processed many exchanges for rooted customers, who had manufacturer defects.
also another thing i just noticed, my baseband is: 0.15.31501S , but my friends retail version is 0.16.
any way for me to update this?
Early Adopters
I just got the One S myself and I'm a bit forlorn from the lack of available ROMS. Then again when I was in the Apple Ecosystem, there was no ROMS, just tweaks so different environment different timelines I guess.
Not sure if it can help in this case, but this solved my wifi error problem.
I had a "wifi error", my One S coudn't connect any AP.
The problem was a bad permision on the file /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf.
Logcat gave me that :
"Cannot set RW to /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf"
So, using Es Explorer (as root), i changed the chmod of this file to rw-rw-rw and wifi started to work again. (no reboot needed in my case).
Hope this help.
