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.

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.

Some people have requested this, this is Gingerbread KF2 Deodexed + Root and odin flashable.
This contains all bloat.
Instructions:
1. Perform Factory Data Reset/Wipe Data (If you skip this step it may still work but may leave existing apps and may cause FC's)
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.
Below File contains no BOOTLOADERS

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?

Strangely enough I have the froyo bootloaders, flashed this, got an upgrade failure to which got me to that annoying ass screen rom upgrade failed, so I tried it again, it was successful, but oddly not only did I not get the rainbow screen but I booted with all my apps and everything intact but confirm that I am now at 2.3.3 by su binary had gotten downgraded to 2 from the ,3 beta I had had and I was coming from the KD1 rom....

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

try toggling airplane mode on & off.
Ok well this past Saturday I spent atleast 7 hours flasing this phone and trying different combinations of kg4 leak and kg6 leak. I would just like to share some results ive had with mixing the two.
First flash in Odin:
I used the entire kg4 leak except I swapped the pda kg4 file for the kg6 leak. That resulted in being stuck in 3e recovery and trying to reboot brought alot of cache and data errors.
Second flash with Odin:
Flashed kg4 leak with all files. rooted using Odin with fugumod. In the end it said I was rooted but I never found the su binary. Flased drhonks kernel ontop of that and still no su binary but root check says im rooted. Also tried to get Linda to talk on this try but didnt hear a thing. Had sdcard unavailable error aswell. Dissappearing apps on reboot.
Third flash in cwm:
So I flashed kg6 deodexed and before rebooting I flased drhonks modded kg4 cwm kernel, checked mounts reboot. Installed busybox 1.19 and tried to convert to ext4 and got sdcard full issue. Back to Odin
Fourth flash in Odin:
Kg6 leak and drhonks kernel. Same errors as before with Linda and the sdcard issue.
Ok lots more flashes but ill gat to the one that got me stable.
Final flash with Odin:
Flashed kg4 leak let it bootup and didnt setup anything and immediately turned it back off. Odined kg6 leak with csc file from kg4, let it boot and again did nothing but tirn it back off and back into down load mode. Flashed fugumod for root let it boot up and off again and then flashed drhonks kernel. Booted up and finally did the setup, went to the market amd searched for superuser, there was an update so I got it along with voodoo control app. Made sure voodoo lagfix was disabled in app. Booted into cwm turned lagfix on. Linda did her thing in no time flat. It booted up and all my apps were still there(root check; titanium backup;ect) all seems great. Still cant fiNed the su binary but to hell with it this thing is smooth battery life is great and I swear there been sound improvment in the rear speaker.
So all in all im satified with my gingerbread experience. Had a lot of fun flashing and trying different things some work half ass and some not at all. So tell us how has it been for you?

Got it done right the first time. No issues here. No hanging boot or anything. Went very smooth and would never go back to froyo. I did run into the problem of the voodoo lagfix. I used a spare one gig sd card from my G1 and it converted fine. Its like everyone says, its not working because your sd card had an ext4 partition from froyo builds.

This has been a very trying experience in getting GB working properly, but not that I have KG6 ICBINB working with the new S99partition mounts pushed, I am loving my phone again. Pulling 2400 Quad without OC. Formatting the SD card and eliminating an old ext4 partition from froyo was really all that I needed to do.
That said, there are some minor issues that still haven't been resolved. I am also seeing very week wifi signal. KD1 was very strong, but now unless I am in the room with the wireless it's almost doesn't even register.
The other issue I had was the phone would go into reboot madness if I had wifi on. I think it was the wifi calling feature causing the mayhem. The only way I was able to use wifi without it constantly rebooting was to Freeze wifi calling in TB. As soon as I froze wifi calling it worked flawlessly with wifi enabled or disbled. If anyone has a fix for the wifi issue I would greatly appreciate it.

This was the first time I installed a custom ROM. I jumped into this a few minutes after the ICBINB ROM was posted so there were no clear instructions and I didn't take the time to read enough. I skipped steps 2-4. So I learned how to use ODIN and how to get into download mode by taking out the battery and holding the volume buttons.
Everything works great no reboots, WIFI calling works great and my Quadrant scores are high (2400+).
My only problem is a weak WIFI signal. I don't get a WIFI signal in a room where I used to get a signal.
I have spent the past few days flashing and experimenting and Dsext can confirm through the PMs we shared that I've had quite a few issues and I have just about everything down to a science. While running the ACID KG4 with ext4 support everything worked great except wi-fi calling. If you've read the thread on here and rw, you can tell this has been a huge issue for me and I hope I can clear this up for all.
When installing busy box, I tried using this JRummy's BusyBox Installer. Busy Box would never install properly (i.e. when you turn Voodoo on, you get a kind of bootloop that allows you to enter android then all of a sudden plays the startup over again and continues to do so.) When using Stericson's Busy Box, everything works flawlessly. I have not once had to format my SD card in any way shape or form.
As far as the wifi calling issue. I have finally settled into ICBINB GB Rom. I had issues getting it to work and here is my solution and explanation. When you flash this ROM, you'll get everything working. When you start to enable your tweaks, you'll find in the restarts your issues will come. I have found that if you leave your wifi turned on and reboot your phone, your phone will no longer connect to the T-Mobile network in any way (i.e. WiFi Calling nor through celluar network). If you reboot your phone WITHOUT wifi turned on everything works great. I believe the kink lies inside the wifi telling the phone that since it is connected to wifi, it doesn't need the data connection so therefore blocks that out. I have informed Dsext of this issue and he is checking it out and will hopefully have it fixed in the next week. Hopefully that helps anyone with those issues.
As for performance, well I'll let my screenshot cover that.

Yeah, truth be told I'm not on the tweaks and everything is running great. Not sure all the tweaks are compatible with GB and there might be some issues there.
Stock Deodexed KG4 has been running pretty smoothly for me so far.
Alright, I'm trying to figure out if any change will benefit my phone. I have attached a screenshot of my current situation. I just loaded up GC (froyo), but I'm losing battery pretty quick and it seems like my connection to data and phone is not quite up to par.
it looks like you're still using the stock EE4 modems... i'd suggest upgrading and odining to one of the latest GB radios, EP1Q/EP1W or the newer EP3HA as myself and many others have (varying levels of) increased battery due to less 4G/3G/1x 'switching' or handoff
you can always go back to EE4 if you don't like it or it doesn't work... also when trying to save battery in terms of signal/reception this is pretty much the only thing you can do besides maybe using 3G or wifi wherever possible

Are there any steps after odining the new radio/modem or is it just odin and restart and it's up and running?

I have a really bad problem, my gf and I recently both got the Verizon galaxy s3 from Amazon wireless. I happen to like mine. In a day I rooted, flashed Synergy and won't go back.
Now..my gf's galaxy is a different story. From day one,.Hers likes to shut off by itself or become unresponsive (with the blue light blinking in sleep mode. The only fix is to pull the battery and restart.
Here is what I've tried..
Browse the hell out of forums (mainly yours)
Changing stock settings.
Flashed a custom ROM to see possibly it's the stock rom was broken. Same issue
Used my battery to see if it was a bad battery.still didn't fix it
Flashed a different kernel to see if the kernel is to blame. No dice.
Wiped to stock using Odin. Nuh uh.
I'm pretty much out of options.
I'm thinking about sending it back.
Hers has Synergy on it atm. If no one has any options left, can I just Odin back to stock, lock the bootloader, and use triangle away?
Thanks

What build was your Synergy ROM? I've had difficulties with any ROM after about 3/23 due to some problems with the whole 3.4 thing. I'm not familiar with the Synergy ROM (obviously I've heard of it, but I don't like the stock "feel") and the problems that I've encountered have been on AOKP and CM based ROMS. But you may want to try flashing an earlier build. I went back to a build of the ROM I use from 3/13 and the problems I had that were similar to the ones you described stopped.
I've been running synergy for months now, and with almost all of their different releases. I have never had random reboots like that though. If you are using r420, or pretty much any of the newer releases, make sure you are doing a full wipe and not restoring any app data. That's the only way to make sure it isn't the ROM causing it. If it's still a problem, use that manufacturer warranty

SynergyROM is awesome agreed. I had similar problems at one point due to my voltage settings. Not all phones are created equal. Increased voltage and changed governor to 'on demand' because 'interactive x' had problems at the moment.
Some have just flashed a different kernel but imo ziggy is a genius and I will rock his kernel as long as he makes one.
The issue is one one of the builds ziggy and I think phones with rev4 couldn't handle the low volt
The blue light blinks or stays on for a bit like when booting.?
Clearly..... It your phone does it on a stock kernel,
I highly doubt the software is causing it.
It sounds like somewhere across the line you have a hardware issue.
Oh damn...hardware..that's what I suspected. Should I do the three steps (odin, re-lock , triangle away) and send it back to Amazon?..or sammy?
And will they know if I messed with it?

I'm having the exact same problem with the latest AOKP and CM10.1. I reverted back to an older version to see if this fixes the problem.

triangle away first then odin, since you need root to use triangle away. re-lock not necessary if you flash a stock image.

+1. Also, Odin will not up your flash counter unless your flashing something that isn't stock......Odin as the last step will leave you at out of box stock.
Sent back the phone. Hope for the best

Amazon apologized and she got overnight a 32gb s3 for the same price as the 16. This new one has no sleep issues
