[q] wifi "error"

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?

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.

[Q] NS4G - 4G Stopped Working

I have had a Nexus S 4G for about 2 months now, and earlier today, the 4G functionality just suddenly stopped working. It was working fine, and the connection dropped, so I went into the settings to reconnect, and now it just stays on "Initializing".
I was running the 8/31 nightly build of CM7 at the time.
I have tried the following, to no avail:
Reboot
Flash a different CM7 build
Update Profile/PRL
Wipe cache/dalvik cache
Nandroid backup, full wipe, flash stock ROM
At first I thought it might be a problem with Sprint, but my sister said 4G works just fine on her Evo, so I'm thinking it's a problem with my phone.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I could do to fix this, or should I just return it to Sprint and exchange it? I've had it for less than 90 days so it should still be under warranty.

Is your sister at the same location?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium

Yes she is.

Based on what you have said, there isn't anything that should have caused 4g to stop working. I would take it to Sprint and see what they say. Unrooted of course

Update on the situation...
In preparation for returning it to Sprint, I "unrooted" it following instructions I found on AndroidCenteral (basically downloading the GRJ22 build images and flashing those via fastboot). Strangely enough, that fixed the issue.
I've now rooted it again and am back on CM7 with no problems. Just to ensure the problem wasn't a file in the backup, I'm reinstalling everything rather than restoring a backup.
Still have no clue what the problem was, but it's working now.

[Q] no data?? maybe my sim card ?

so i flashed gummy 2.0 rc 2 last night was on wifi this morning so i left the house no data 3 or 4g restarted phone didn't work cleared cache etc.. nothing worked so i went to the humble 5 via odin removed sim flashed, shutdown inserted sim card and rebooted still no data wiped cache etc.. once again nothing i am wondering if there is a way to tell if my sim is fried or not...

My advice would be to Odin back to stock ee4 and take it in to a store to see if it is fried

I found it on XDA its a full Odin with the radios and everything. It is essentially the factory firmware

can you link that over to me please..

here ya go. i believe the only way they could tell if you rooted is if they see the voodoo logs in your SD card...but i dont think they would go to your sd card for a service issue.

sweet i am assuming i just go to download mode put this thing in odin check the 2 normal ones f reset auto reboot start and done just like i would flash humble 5 or 4 etc..

Yeah I've just flashed this rom like any other...since you are going gingerbread to froyo I would wipe data before entering download mode to flash

will do will report back when i get back from verizon. thought just crossed my mind maybe it is a radio issue?? also verizon said there was a nationwide 4g outage but i am not getting any 3g so yeah..

I was just gonna ask you. Have you tried flashing some fresh radios?
Sent from my Gummy Charged GBE 2.1 using XDA App

never flashed a radio but i worked fine until today so doesn't make sense why that would be the problem..

Ahh I see. You said your on humble 5 at the moment correct?
Sent from my Gummy Charged GBE 2.1 using XDA App

Well I would say you should flash the stock ee4 and boot it up and wait a little. Since you would Be flashing the ee4 radio with the Odin it could fix the issue,if not, take it to verizon

Don't bother flashing. It's your SIM. I had the same thing happen 2 weeks ago, I thought it was an outage. I was on PBJT, rooted, voodoo, etc. I flashed back completely to stock. Nothing worked. If you have "Android System Info" installed, you can look at the radio log and see something like "Channel 1 = ?, Channel 2 = ?" popping up over and over. Go get a SIM and don't waste your time.
This is where I posted before. There are other people on the forums saying their phones are frying SIM cards, one of them in the "If your droid is dropping data" thread.

give it 24 hours, if you have absolutely zero data after that its the sim, take the phone to verizon (preferably with stock firmware as they will be handling/rebooting/etc. the phone and may ask questions) and they should replace it for free no problem

ha wish i read this earlier but i went back to stock took it to verizon and they told me there is a outage nationwide for all 4g devices even if i switched the sim they couldn't activated it now i am stuck at stock with no data freaking great arg.....

[Q] Lost 4G on MOAR v18

Hey running the current version of MOAR and on Sunday night I pulled my SIM and put it in my Galaxy Nexus to make a call, text and go online to verify everything was working since I sold it. When I put it back in my GS3 I was only able to get 3G service. Didn't think much of it but Monday I couldn't get 4G to kick in. I did a complete wipe and reloaded MOAR, pulled and reinserted the SIM, reflashed the latest firmware and when I reboot my access point goes to EHRPD. I select LTE and it gives me looking for LTE/CDMA with an Ok/Cancel pop up but it never kicks in to 4G. I also tried the reset to default in the access points menu and still no luck. Any idea's?

[Q] 4G LTE Not Working

Guys I've tried searching and tried damn near anything I can think of/find here on XDA and other sites.
Over the weekend I got a little sick of my GPS not locking on my Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 SCH-I535. I was running CleanRom 7 and I believe I was on MB1 - I could be wrong on the basebad that I was on.
Anyways, after doing my normal reading to see what the latest and greatest things going on are I decided I wanted to do a complete wipe like I'd done in the past, update to MF1 firmware, update my radio to ML1, then put a fresh install of CleamRom 7 on there.
So I used to did a format of my external SD then a factory wipe/reset & cache wipe in CWR. I then went directly into Odin mode (Home Button/Volume Down/Power) and flashed the root66_VZW_I535VRBMA2.7z from this thread. I installed EzUnlocker and RomManager. I unlocked the phone, then flashed CWR. I first did a factory wipe/reset, I then flashed the MF1 firmware, followed by the ML1 radio, and finally Clean Rom 7.
Everything was fine except my 4G LTE would not turn on - 3G works fine but no 4G LTE. I've tried everything I could possibly think of. I've flashed to the prerooted MA2 linked above in Odin. I've tried the 2-3 suggestions in this thread, I've tried making my own APN settings, I've tried the thread which has links for people who are returning their phone to Verizon (plain jane stock). Nothing. All of those bring me the same result: Everything works perfectly fine, but the 4G LTE never shows up. It doesn't matter where I am - I know it is not a network outtage as people in the office have no issues and I always have a connection here and at home.
I've already ordered a new SIM card which should show up tomorrow but did I miss anything? I tried everything I could think of. As of right now I'm back at square one where I'd gone back to MA2, flashed MF1 + ML2 firmware, and back on Clean Rom 7. Stuck with 3G. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Just Odin flashed the VRALG1 4.0 ICS to bring it back to stock found here in Section 5: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709. Still no luck.
Am I correct in saying when flashing that it is also flashing the modem/firmware? I want to make sure I'm not missing anything.

I had the same problem not too long ago. My issue was the PRL usually 4G PRL starts with 15xxx but if you go into settings-->about phone-->status you should check to see whether it is a 15xxx or 3xxxx. If the latter a new sim card should fix it right up.
