Hello,
I own a Motorola Milestone (rooted, unlocked). Two days ago a weird thing appeared: when i try to activate the wifi, it goes into a Turning on - turning off - turning on etc. loop and i can stop it just if i activate the airplane mode, restart the phone and deactivate the airplane mode. It does not see any wireless network, i can't stop it and i can't connect to any network.
If i try to see the MAC in the wifi settings -> advanced, it writes 00:00:00:00:00:00 when it is in the loop mode. In the service menu, the MAC Address appears Unavailable.
I tried to reflash different firmwares to solve the problem, but no luck. I reflashed the original rom on it, but also: no luck. I tried everything possible with no luck.
In sys/devices/virtual/net/ i don't have any eth0 folder which i think that contains the network drivers.
I didn't drop the phone, i didn't drop anything on it. It appeared from nowhere. There aren't any other problems with the phone. The bluetooth works fine so, i don't think it's a hw problem (i found somewhere that the two hw modules are the same...it's possible that i should got it wrong).
How can i solve it?
PS: i wrote this here because i saw that this happened to different persons around the world but nobody gave an answer. So, i don't think it's phone related.
If this happened to me I would try this:
1: Nandroid backup+Titanium backup
2: Run WiFi Fixer.apk
if it won't help:
3: Try some other ROMs
btw I don't really understand how did you come up with an idea that this is "Milestone Android Development" thread...
1. I don't have any Titanium Backup or nandroid backup
2. WiFi fixer doesn't work
3. i tested CM7, FroyoMod 2.3.3, CM6, original sbf file...nothing works
I posted this here because the other Milestone threads are not read by most of you.
then RMA it.
After you try to enable wifi, paste kernel log (output from 'dmesg' or 'logcat -b kernel' commands) and main log (logcat) to pastebin.com and post links to it here for inspection.
Is your /pds/wifi/nvs_map.bin file in place?
Hello kabaldan,
I was waiting for your reply master.
The /pds/wifi/nvs_map.bin is there but i can see it only in terminal, with ls, after su. In default file explorer from CM7, the folder is empty.
Here is the output of dmesg: http://pastebin.com/Ngz9iaQU
I'm currently using CM7 RC15 (the last night build).
PS: I promise to donate as soon as i get my money from the company i'm working for.
sdiodrv_data_xfer_sync() transfer error! STAT = 0x108011

Sorry to say that, but this is a hardware failure. The wlan sd card does not respond to commands sent to it.
You should send your phone for repair.

hi,
i hope someone could help me with a few problems I can't seem to understand.
i'm using:
MAGIC; CyanogenMod 4.2.3.1
radio 3.22.20.17
kernel 2.6.29.6
hboot 1.33.2010
1.it happened while using the phone, and also when it was idle:
all of a sudden the screen went black, and the trackball started to glow on and off. the phone didn't responde to anything i tried to do. i used lolcat, but unfortunatly could not print it to txt. so anyway the log look something like:
I/PackageParser <1369>:Implicating adding android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE to old pkg [some package name]
I/PackageParser <1369>:Implicating adding android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE to old pkg [some package name]
then it went on while doing this for all my apps.somewhere in between it read: D/dalvikvm <1369>:GC<0> freed XXX objects/ XXX bytes
then after a few minutes it rebooted itself.what the...?
2.a few days ago the comm stat went into no reception icon.when i went to MOBILE NETWORKS and tried to connect to my apn, the device did saw him, but after trying to connect i got a massege:the sim card is not allowed to connect to this network. this is not the case at all times, just sometimes and while being in the sameplace.
i tried reboot, NANDROID restore, wipe/ and then restore. nothing helped... it just fixes itself without seen reason. i checked my sim on another device and it's working o.k. again.....?
hope somebody managed to make it through all this text, and knows what's going on.....

1. is a known issue and reported in cyanogens issue tracker. I suggest you have a look in there and add a comment. the more the merrier..
thnx. i checked the bug tracker, and went through some log files.i could not find a report that looks like mine. i'm going to leave it alone for now cause in the past 3-4 days everything is good. i'm going to flash to 4.2.4, and hopefully evrything will stay that way.
just a quick qustion about the sim: is it likely to be a software bug? or rather an hardware prob?
Hi, I would like to remove a Wi-Fi network from my list. It's listed as "not in range"
A long press then "forget" sequence returns "cannot forget".
After resetting the phone, the entry is unaffected.
How do I remove the entry (Z736563757265).
thanks nb

Hey, I encountered the same issue (I have this exact SSID saved that cannot be forgotten, "failed to forget network" - where did this SSID come from????) and spent some time figuring out how to remove it. Well, I actually fixed it with the 'attwifi' network but I assume the following steps would apply for you too. I have an LG G2 running stock android 4.2, rooted. Note that you will need a rooted phone in order to do this. Here are the steps I took:
1.) Get a text editor capable of running as root (I used 920 text editor, there is a permissions issue with it though that I detail later).
2.) Open /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf using your text editor. Make a backup of this file while you're at it.
3.) Find the 'attwifi' entry and rename it (I renamed it to 'attwifi2'.) You could also probably remove the entry but I didn't try that.
4.) Turn off and turn on Wifi
* Note, I couldn't turn on wifi at first once I changed wpa_supplicant's conf file. It turned out to be a permission issue - my text editor did not save the file with the correct permissions. I had to run 'chmod 777 /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf' in a terminal window to give permissions back (it probably just needs chmod 666).
5.) Find 'attwifi2' in your saved wifi list and 'forget network'. It should now be forgetten. There is no more attwifi or attwifi2.
If this doesn't work for you, then you are probably using a different version of android where the conf file is in a different path. Try grepping for attwifi via a terminal window. Another thing you can try is to run 'dmesg' in a terminal window to see the system log - this could give you a clue as to what is going wrong. Best of luck!

Thanks!
Just quoting one of my posts in a related thread, seems like I am not the only one
I had the same problem the last week.
actually, the problem came after doing a factory reset from Salfish OS (installed with multirom), the wifi did not worked in CM12 and Sailfish and I don't know how, but the bootloader reverted to the 4.4 version, so I tried reflashing stock 5.0 with success, the wifi was working, until I did it again (woops. damn curiosity) and reflashing 5.0 stock did not helped
I tried everything;
-Reflashed to stock, 4.4, 5.0, 5.1
-Reflashed Franco kernel (with success, for only the first attempt then after another stock flash the problem came again)
-Reflashed CM11, CM12 and PArom.
After that, I was desperate, and I started deleting everything from /boot, /persist/, /dev without success (maybe I made things worse, in the nexus 5 is pretty much different than a basic linux distro for the computer)
I've also tried generating a new mac in /persist/wifi/.macaddr with no success
Just called google on thursday... They will send me a new phone, hoping they won't notice anything as I have reverted all to stock and relocked bootloader...
(sorry for my bad english, lol)
I also can't connect to bluetooth (it does not have the MAC address too)

I may have made a mess deleting some files in /dev and /proc folder, that does not have nothing to do with /persist, macs etc. can someone explain why are these files not included in the stock rom and how can I take it from another phone (if someone can please dump their and upload it on mega i will bless you, or just the entries releated to wifi and bluetooth should be wlan0 and idk)
the .macaddr and .bdaddr are correctly created in the persist folder and configured, but still have this problem
Can be this an hardware problem? ifconfig result no such device
Just because I want to understand what happened in case I'll make this mess too with the new phone

Hi. I know I'm late on the bat but I've been battling for ages on this problem.
I read through the forum where you made this post aswell and nothing worked for me.
I thought id reply to this one as it more focused on what I want to ask.
I cannot seem to find the .macaddr and .bdaddr
I dont see any data/persist folder anywhere.
Sorry for noob question but Im really desperate on this one.
Hi,
I have been trying to troubleshoot this problem for some time. The basic problem is that every time the device is shutdown/reset the existing wifi data including known hotspots and passwords is lost.
I have tried factory resetting the tablet (Samsung Note 10.1 SM-T520), along with flashing various stock 4.4.2 Roms (i.e. different release dates and different countries). The tablet was purchased in the US and gifted to my mum in New Zealand, it originally had a stock US rom and now has the NZ rom loaded. Unfortunately Samsung's warranty required us to ship the tablet back to the US to investigate the problem (they would not look at it in NZ as it was not from NZ).
Based on some other threads, I thought it was a problem with the wpa_supplicant.conf file. So I rooted the phone using CF root through odin. I have looked at the wpa_supplicant.conf file and noticed that every time the device is shutdown/reset the
Code:
network={
}
section is removed.
When the device is turned on and I enter the network password the wpa_supplicant.conf file will be updated with the network information and as I said when shutdown this information is removed.
The wpa_supplicant has read/write privilages and user is set to system and group is set to wifi (I did not change these), this is the same for the wpa_supplicant.bak.conf which is created on reboot/shutdown (the bak file doesn't keep the network data on reset either)
In the data/misc/wifi/sockets folder (which the wpa_supplicant.conf references) are the following 4 files:
p2p0
wlan
wpa_ctrl_2719-7
wpa_ctrl_2719-8
This has been an ongoing problem for a year now and has driven me to the point of insanity.
Also, the problem was not originally solely related to the wifi data but also other common settings (i.e. app positioning on the home screen, stored settings), however, after some tinkering and flashing various stock roms some of the problems I was having before I have not been able to re-produce. I am waiting until the battery runs out to see if my home screen will return to the default factory state along with other settings which initially was part of the problem.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated I am happy to do any troubleshooting that may shed some light on the problem. The tablet is current rooted with a stock NZ room running 4.4.2.
Thanks
So an update, with some success
I read another thread that suggested the /efs/ss_data file could be causing the problem. Although this file does not exist... however as part of the troubleshooting process to see if this file might be causing the problem the following was suggested
There is most likely a problem with the phone's /efs/ss_data file. I think it's basically a key for decryption of your Wi-Fi passwords and other things in secure storage.
Root is required for this fix.
First we need to confirm it's a problem with secure storage.
Install BuildProp Editor from Play Store
Set ro.secure.storage=false
Reboot, setup Wi-Fi & reboot again
WiFi should now remember passwords if there was an issue with secure storage.
Now let's fix the secure storage issue since we know what's broken.
Set ro.secure.storage=true using BuildProp Editor
Backup EFS using TWRP/CWM recovery
Delete ss_data in /efs using ES File Explorer in root mode
Reboot, setup Wi-Fi and reboot again
Your Wi-Fi passwords should be remembered now on any ROM/kernel, non rooted and without edits to build.props
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I didn't have the exact entry as per above but changed ro.securestorage.support to false and my wifi password seems to have saved. At least on one reset test.
As a side note, previously my apps weren't updating automatically and my gmail was not responding, now both seem to be working. Everything I have tested so far that had known problems seems to be working.
Now I have ejected the microSD and have not tested it with it in the device, I'm on 3% battery so running it dead before I do more testing.
Can someone shed any more light on how this problem has occurred and what is the permanent fix? (I cannot delete the ss_data file as the advice above suggests as the file does not exist??!!?
Hello,
I got a little problem with my phone (so freak... I'm explaining)
I got a router before but now I changed it, because I switched to another operator. But it feels like the Wi-fi of my phone is not agree with that.
I "forget" the now inexisting router I had and connect to the new one...
...But I do this each time I turn off then on Wi-fi, and even after switching off the device with enabled Wi-fi!
For now I just have to remember one Wi-Fi router (and, thank you Kika Keyboard developers who made an extensive clipboard where I can store my password <3) but figure out what it will be when I'll have to save more passwords! So yes it's annoying. And I also already lost at leat 8 router passwords because of this strange cr*p.
Fortunately I got a Wi-fi retriever app but this is not auto connecting and this is no longer working!
That was the last point: even the router password retriever app is acting like I didn't connect to a new router since its last analyze!
So could you help me fix this annoying bug?
For now I got an hypothesis: I got XPosed and a device ID changer app.
And it contains an useless but impossible to disable option that is "changing the SSID"
Default configuration make your phone to display your SSID. But not with the local variable where your actual SSID is displayed! No, with the SSID you got when you installed the app. So you can connect to another Wi-fi and still got the same SSID (perfectly useless)
Rest of my theory is that messing up with SSID display may cause network state not to be saved properly. But this is only a supposition. And this is hard to figure it...
So to corroborate this theory, a subquestion: What is the local Android variable where SSID is stored? Tried %WIFI, %SSID but it doesn't work. And I didn't found it after a quick search.
Thank you in advance!
Sorry for wasting your time with so much text :/

There are also people conplaining this problem.
In the link pasted on the top, there is a possible fixes for some fortunate people... But actually this doesn't work for me.
-First, ro.secure.storage or ro.securestorage. thing does not exist on my device. I don't even know if it existed on my device.
-Second, there is something about /efs/ss_data, a file that also not exists on my device.
So I don't know if it's because Samsung built it differently or it has been removed. Keep checking...
After a check of my backups I saw that I got none of the file and property mentionned before.
So I'm unable to know where is the problem...

If you're saying that you looked in build.prop but you don't see any lines that say ro.securestorage, you can add those lines if they don't exist. Just edit build.prop and type the line in at the bottom then save build.prop and reboot the device.

This is what I did. Uneffective.
Why? Because I never got this prop before.
I checked my backups where the Wi-fi worked perfectly in case all of this would be due to the fact that this prop vanished because of a dark and random informatic process. And after checks I finally realized that I never had this prop...
Same thing for the file I mentionned before, located in /efs. I didn't lose it because I basically never got it.
So... This means that my device save Wi-fi informations by another way. And because I don't know this way, I cannot fix it...

If you got a different router but kept the same network name and password and didn't change anything on your device, that might be the issue, your device is probably looking for your original router because the information you originally saved was saved while the other router was in use.
Try backing up your apps, app data and settings but don't backup your wifi settings or saved wifi information. Then boot to recovery and factory reset and wipe cache and dalvik/ART. Then reboot the device, when it boots to system, try connecting and signing into your network again and see if it saves it correctly.
If the backups you are talking about are nandroid backups created in TWRP, you can also try doing an advanced restore in TWRP, you can restore just the data from your previously working backup without restoring everything else.

Well, tried what you told me and this didn't end well...
I used to make a factory reset of my phone. The problem was fixed. When I connected to the wifi first time, now each time I disabled and re-enabled it automatically reconnected (auto-connect is miraculous lol)
Then I flashed data back with TWRP recovery (backup by Nandroid app because I got a classical TarFork error with TWRP 2.7.0.1...)
When rebooting to Android it spammed 1M layers of various program crash message box.
Then using TWRP I reflashed this time everything I got then rebooting to Android the bootloader freezed.
I thought my phone was dead until I realized I could boot to recovery again. So I flashed an older backup and lost some data (fortunately I backed up SMS and apk).
My device is safe now, but this misadventure taught me lots of things:
-When I did a factory reset data has been erased, but system still the same and it reworked. So maybe an app is locking my Wi-fi like this. But which?
-Nandroid backup app is NOT reliable. If your device isn't clearly identified your backups are corrupt. Gotta erase all Nandroid backups I made.
Solved. Bug due to a bad TWRP backup. Made a fresh install and everything is fine now.
Thread closed.
