Wifi not working on htc thunderbolt - Thunderbolt General

For some reason, whenever I turn on my wifi, it says unable to scan wifi, then the wifi turns off. That was on stock, and I read about a fix for rooted users, where you delete the wifi configuration file, as it could become corrupted, so I rooted and did what it said, but still no luck. Any help would be appreciated.

Are you sure this isn't a radio issue?

how to connect to 4G after root?

Hi,
I followed this thread and rooted my Xoom successfully
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1242241
Before I rooted I was on the 4G network, now I can't get on the 4g network. I cannot even get on the 3g network. I have Data enabled under mobile network settings and I activated my device.
Any ideas on how to connect again? Wifi works.
Is it possible I wiped the 4g upgrade off the xoom by rooting? thanks
Pull your sim with power on. It will give a msg, then put it back in and reboot. Make sure wifi is off too.

Hi thanks for the reply
I did this and didn't get any message. I pulled it and now rebooted it. Still no luck
edit: to make it more clear it says no internet connection but the signal fluctuates and it says i have 3.2.1 is that the problem? I think 4g+ is 3.2.2 but even my 3g isnt working
I fixed the problem
I tried using the 3G method to root it after it was unrooted because of the 4g method. That didn't work so I flashed the oem boot.img file. That was the 3.2.1 file when I was supposed to use the 3.2.2 one that Motorola just released about a week ago
I went back and used the oem boot.img file this time 3.2.2 and it worked.

[Q] CM7 issues

I installed CM7 on my infuse yesterday and having an issue. I have read alot of forums but haven't found an answer. I am having connection issues while using the phone. I have flashed different modems still doesn't change anything. When I am using the market I get connection timed out. It switches between H, 3g, and E all the time. Is there anything else I can do to fix this?
Thanks in advance.
Read thru the cm7 thread in dev section is a good place to start ready to find your answer. Me personally have no data issues while on cm7

Look for the APN fix it is in many places.
My data dies when I first access the market. After I leave the market and it will come back and I have no trouble after that.
As for it switching between 4,H,3,E CM7 is giving you real connection info when other ROMS do not.

1) Do you require bluetooth? If yes, don't use CM7. 2) Can you read instructions? If so, there's an easy fix for the APN thing and you'll be all set. CM7 is fantastic, I've used it for a long time.
In the instructions he asks to boot into recovery and flash the rom. now when i reboot into 3e recovery theres no option to install from zip... all there is are these options: reinstall packages, delete user data, delete cache data, format internal sd card...
---------- Post added at 06:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:12 AM ----------
ok... figured it out... had to select reinstall packages
I like cm7 on every phone I have had, my phone runs 100% better, remember step where u flash again and to download Google apps zip to get market to get all ur apps and I'd recommend getting titanium back pro. I like backing up all my apps. Faster to load ur stuff back on phone.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium
thanks for the tip... i was a bit confused where the market place had gone
apps are downloading now... i backed up me apps and data with titanium... now when i restore, my apps and data will get overwritten i assume....

Yes. You can root using SuperOneClick.
Yes it some apps don't always restore well via backup though. Like adobe I usually restore flash without data. Free version of titanium back will piss you off it stops on every app it restores.

Did you restore system data with titanium if more than likely your problem start over and try again

start over as in reinstall gapps or reflash rom? and the steps for reflashing are the same as before or something different has to be done? and this time i should avoid restoring titanium backup??
I would wipe, reflash, I only restore user apps via titanium backup. Might download Google apps again. You only have to flash once if ur on cm7, just wipe flash cm7 and then flash Google apps. Then reboot.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium
ok...by wipe you mean format /system from recovery and reflash? also i have this weird thing where wifi icon no longer shows up if the phone is screenlocked for some time. when you unlock the wifi comes on. is the a CM thing or some setting i need to tweak for always ON wifi... thanks for all the help!
Also should I go to th 12/13dec build or the 20 nov build thats the latest on the links???
Wipe in where recovery and flash is. I would use newest build 12/13. I just haven't had time to update yet. Wifi, not sure where setting is since I don't use wifi with screen off but in past many phones would shut off wifi when screen goes off.

Definately go with the latest 12/13 and when you are in wifi setting hit menu button and advanced settings choose wifi never sleeps

HTC 4g (GLACIER) cyanogen 7.20 stable wifi turns off

Hi guys, i have a problem here, i followed this guide http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Glacier:_Full_Update_Guide everything went smooth
i had to dowgrade as the page says as it had already gingerbread, every step went smooth, then i booted and everything apparently fine, except when i turn on my wifi it autoshuts down after some seconds (the wifi not the phone).
tried 7.2 latest nightly and same thing.
please help
this is a tmobile unit
htc mytouch 4g (aka glacier right?)
note: backed up as directed but upon restore i just get an md5 error so no going back
currently this info is shoing:
android version 2.3.7
baseband 12.28b.60.14eU_26.03.02.26_M
kernel 2.6.35.14 cyanogenmod-g295e82f
mod version cyanogenmod 7.20120909-nightly-glacier
Same problem here. I'm also using a CM7 nightly.
Under Wifi Advanced settings, its showing MAC address as unavailable. So far I've tried a "wifi fixer" on the android market, and I opened up the phone to check the two cables for Wifi.
Try reflashing probably a bad download or u can flash a new Rom such has android revolution or insert coin I recommend these Rom because they gingerbread an are most stable for glacier an really smooth

Be sure you're doing a complete wipe before flashing a ROM. Check out 4EXT recovery, as it has an option for wiping all partitions.

Thanyou, i think I have done wipe, as instructed on link, I followed exactly, maybe is not the rom as I have tried at least 3 cm versions, and 2 non cyanm, I returned to stock (downgrade version, 2.2) and still no luck, but I havnt tried the one it had, stock, 2.3, I have reflashed many times, this is a used phone, that I am unlocking for a friend, and while I was on it he asked for a rom, he got this cheap, and was not using it because of carrier lock, but I actually never checked if wifi was working before flashing it, so probably its just broken and that is why he got it so cheap lol (like 40 bucks) wil trry ota 2.3 and the others you guys suggested, just to exhaust possibilities,, but not with much hope, ty both for taking the time to answer

in my case I can't go to advanced, as it is only available when wifi is on, and I'm not fast enough to setup a network before out turns off, I cheeked someone with same problem on tmobile forums, no root, no flash,.regular ota, support said that if just factoiry reset with no sd, and before installing anything then its phone problem and needs to be replaced,
Any idea how to fix this piece of wifi hardware, are there available spare wifi chips or something? (i obviously can't return to tmobile a is used , phone from a foreign country :$

Weird thing is that wifi tethering works fine. Also I started noticing this problem after switching back to Gingerbread from ICS. I've reflashed several times with the other luck.

[Q] How to fix? Wifi not turning on.

This problem first happened upon upgrading to the Revolver 4.2.0 build, but I've had issue with AOKP as well so I'm posting here instead of one of the rom specific threads.
The issue is that my wifi refuses to turn on. When I switch on the wifi toggle, the button greys out and it gets stuck on "Turning Wi-Fi on..."
I've tried via CWM to delete the Dalvik, Cache, Factory wipe, reinstall roms, but nothing worked.
In the advanced tab it also shows that the Mac Address and IP Address is unavailable.
Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.

Try a custom kernel... aokp ICS runs good with raymanfx's harmony ICS or guevor's aokp ICS kernel

It looks like a WiFi driver issue, install a custom kernel n try as suggested in above comment..

Humm, might not be the (only) problem.
I've tried using 3 other different kernels and none worked to fix it. I've cleared both caches and even reinstalled the rom for the kernel installs.
Not sure, but my CWM also suffers from the loop issue, though haven't bothered fixing it since I wanted to fix this wifi issue first.

Try going back to stock(unrooting) by using easy flash... if WiFi works fine with stock ROM then its just a matter or installing again...

Use a ruu.exe to return to stock
If after ruu installation the issue persists then probably you are dealing with a hardware issue
