Ok, guys, a friend of mine brought me a TF101 that hey bought secondhand and the wifi/bluetooth will not enable. After searching the forums as well as google I have seen that this problem is not unheard of. However, most of the posts that I have come across say to reflash the rom that was installed without wiping data before having updated and finding the wifi nonexistant. The problem is, I have no idea what rom was installed initially. The device has also been reset to factory a few times and multiple roms flashed in effort to resolve the problem, all to no avail. I have noticed looking at the nvflash.txt files that the MAC address doesn't follow the same as my TF101. It doesn't share the same prefix, is this normal? My TF101 has a F4:6D:04 prefix, his starts with 14. Also, looking in /sys/class/net there is no wlan0 folder. Not sure what other info I can give, but if there is anything needed just ask. Need some advice as to what I can do. Thanks in advance!

Sounds like a ROM related issue. You can try flashing EOS4. I use previews and have no issues.
About the only 2 roms i havent tried is revolver and CM... tried eos and revolution... both to no avail... as well as 2 versions of honeycomb and 2 ICS updates... and i'm stumped lol
EDIT: I ran a device test app, assuming that it is correct. The hardware is fine so it appears that the problem is software based... still not having any luck though making any progress in getting the wifi/bt to turn on... whenever I attempt to turn on the wifi or bt, doing an lsmod it shows it attempting to load the driver but then fails to do so...

Since I too have a TF101, if I installed the same rom on my friends tablet; could I copy over the wifi folders and change the mac address and it read and possibly work? If so, what files would I need to copy over?

Looking at the logcat all it says is Failed to load Driver, DriverStateFailed... any ideas?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk 2
Any ideas as to what i might be able to try? Or should I just tell my friend to RMA it back to ASUS and see if they can fix it? Probably at cost cause i'm sure it's out of warranty.

I would use Odin and go back to stock or a root injected stock build. If the wifi comes up you can add recovery at a later time.
Odin will correctly format and get you back on track IMO.
I thought odin was for samsung devices not ASUS?

Either way, I suggest the noob-proof Easy Flasher for all your back-to-stock needs.
I have used EasyFlasher and flashed 3-4 different stock roms and still the wifi/bt/gps will not enable... but the hardware tests fine
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk 2
If it doesn't even work with the stock Asus firmware, then I suspect it's hardware even though it "tests" fine.
One of the oldest tricks in the book when suspecting hardware is trying a linux livecd which most likely uses different drivers. On Android it's a bit complicated, but if you're willing to go all out to test, try installing Ubuntu as dualboot (not inside Android). It replaces your recovery with grub/linux kernel and boots into it instead of recovery. It uses a different set of drivers for pretty much everything, so if even in there it doesn't work then you can be sure it's the hardware. There a few threads expanding on x3's original one on how to dualboot ubuntu and lots of available help in those.
I installed a rom. But wifi doesnt work. Opening. .. waiting...

If it is a sense ROM.. and you have hboot 1.14 or higher.. the WiFi partitions won't work.. no real fix other than downgrading your hboot.. not easy and could brick your phone.. I went non_sense ROM and all is good..

Do not downgrade its not safe many clam it is but if heard stories of ville bricking 2-3 weeks after downgrade.
two things that work to fix my wifi and yes im on hboot 1.14.00.4.
when you flash a new rom first use flash image gui app on your currant rom to flash boot img.
if you cant use flash image gui before flashing rom just fastboot the boot img using a pc then after new rom is up and running use flash image gui.
before flashing new rom wipe everything in recovery 3 times yes 3TIMES this does two things removes all traces of old rom and even thought twrp or cwm tells you it wiped it still might of failed. im noob at this but found all these tricks spending many hours reading and reading and reading and reading well you get what im saying. if anyone with more knowledge then me sees something wrong with what ive said feel free to let me know.
If he is using a sense ROM 4.1.2 or newer WiFi will not work period no matter how or what you use to flash it is a widely known issue for hboot 1.14

PAC-Man ROM works very well for me. The only thing that is missing is wifi calling. But I can live without it. Lots of tweaks!

Unless you really know what you're doing, I wouldn't go downgrading your hboot. I think its more or less a one way street. But I've had no problems with the 2.15 version that came with the jb ota. I'm alternating between various sense and senseless ROMs (currently using the job Nonsense ROM, which is excellent) and have no WiFi issues. As I said to the Dev, no WiFi would be a deal breaker for me.

You may need to upgrade your phones wifi firmwares to work with some (all?) Sense ROMs. Sense ROM's take their wifi firmware from two partitions (18 & 19). However on higher hboot firmwares these partitions are not writable - like a bad joke flashing them will appear to work but won't.
I'm dreaming up a workaround that just might fix this. Trouble is, I cannot replicate the problem - I downgraded my hboot and flashed them and curse it now it's working! You cannot get yours to work and I cannot break mine Please can you tell me your baseband version. settings -> about -> software information -> more.
Good news is that CM10 based ROMs will work out of the box, wifi and radio firmware is baked in the ROM and installed in the filesystem of the phone - so it's easily changed shoud the need arise.
Sofar the only 4.1.1 sense ROM that is playing nice with hboot 1.14 is Virtuous Ville+ I use it on a Tmo USA One S and its flawless. WiFi works perfect.

Hi
I flashed the Android Sense Best Stock v.3.0 by BehradGH on my TMOU One S with Hboot 1.14 Rooted S-ON This rom rocks so I didn't want to have to get rid of it to get my wifi back...
I've been bummed out and going nuts reading every post from downgrading/upgrading Hboots... to installing linux and going through the process of locking/unlocking.. blah blah blah... I was freaking out!
UNTIL I came upon this post tonight buried deep in the forums... I am admittedly a semi-noob.. well I know just enough to get myself into trouble... and out again haha ... but the post had a link to a .zip file that you can copy onto your internal storage... boot into cwm recovery and simply flash it from there... reboot... and voila... Instant wifi connection! IT WORKS!!
No repartitioning... no flashing radios or anything else...iit takes 3 minutes!
the page is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2151142
The zip file is called "htc_on-s_wifi_fix.zip"
I was skeptical at first... but willing to try anything at this point to get my wifi working on this awesome rom... so i copied it onto my sd card, rebooted into recovery in CWM, ... flashed the zip file, ...rebooted the phone and voila! Instant "wifi It immediately started searching for ip address" (it never got that far before... just said connection problems) ... 2 seconds later it found my network and connected to my in a flash!
My phone is going crazy downloading updates at lightening speeds!! WOOT!!
My sincere apologies to the poster who actually wrote this little script for not being able to thank and acknowledge him for his work... I had like 10 windows open and i couldn't find it... but he is my new hero!!
it's 6:30am in Boston.. sun is coming up... I've been up for 4 days... 24/7 ... going out of my mind trying to fix this... I'm going to sleep for a few days... with my phone charging with the wifi on right next to my head on the pillow
Hi,
I was running CM 10.1 and later on i decided to Try out PAC-MAN Rom so i FXD back to ICS -> Installed BMM and flashed PAC as my primary system but since it started to Give me Black screen problems so i decided to FXZ back to ICS so that i could go back to my CM 10.1.
But after FXZ'ing back my phone has started rebooting every 5 Minutes. Any ideas as to How to FIX this?
My phone is running stock ICS ATT version Now.

Hi , Yes i wiped the data after factory reset via recovery. I have an International Atrix 2. Please advice if i can try something else.To add to that,it also does not connect to mobile network,The only thing that it does it connect to Wi-fi.
If you flashed to International Atrix 2 AT&T firmware you're screwed‚ but not completely.... Best way is to bringt it to warranty.... They will couple times trying to flash international fw via RSD‚ but it will failing so they will change your mainboard... Biggest mistake is flashing to International A2 AT&T firmware‚ because secure version increasing & you cannot downgrade from it....

My warranty is already out.So cant do anything to get it bag replacing a motherboard will cost a bomb here in India. I tried flashing different versions of firmware but no luck. Tried flashing the JB leak as well but tough luck there as well.
Do you think i must have messed up something while using the BMM for installing PAC-MAN Rom?
I have a 4G LTE Xoom that was on Verizon. I recently upgraded (now I have a Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition), and my parents are buying my Xoom for use around the house on Wifi.
My question is: Can I just flash a Wifi Rom? Or will that mess up other things? Also, can/should I remove the LTE SIM card?
I know prior to BigPart, you could flash Wingray roms and get the what you're trying to achieve, but I did read that someone else tried that with the BigPart roms and got a whole slew of FCs that made the tablet unusable. I've currently suspended my tablet line through Big Red and I simply took my SIM card out. I get a warning any time I reboot about mobile data not working until a valid SIM card is installed, but if you ignore that, it functions perfectly otherwise.

I'll be honest: I haven't flashed a new ROM to my Xoom in a long time. It's currently running EOS Nightly 197 (Android 4.2.2) I had to look up what BigPart is, but I haven't installed anything like that. Would it be better if I do install Bigpart, and a Bigpart ROM? I think they can deal with pressing a "no SIM card" message on startup, but even on my current ROM, it's pretty laggy and slows down. Are Bigpart ROMs any better, or should I downgrade back to Honeycomb or something?

If your parents are like mine (read: not particularly tech-savvy), I'd probably just go back to stock JB. As much as I love the features of 4.4.2, you can't beat the stability and smoothness of 4.1.2 on this now-three-year-old tablet.

I have looked through quite a few threads, and followed a plethora of instructions, so If I have missed something I apologize.
I originally had the MZ600 without the 4G upgrade, and decided to give that to my little brother and purchase one that had the 4G radio.
So now I have an MZ600 with the 4G radio upgrade, activated on verizon. before I tried any flashing, I had 4G. I didn't want to do the bigPart upgrade yet, so I flashed the 196 version of EOS4 for stingray (not stingray cdma) and upon boot up, i could get 3g but not 4G. It showed the baseband as CDMA only with no LTE.
I flashed back to stock Honeycomb, and after the OTA update of the radios, i had 4G again. followed the OTA's all the way to 4.1.2. still maintained 4G.
After that, i decided to do the bigPart, which after some finagling I managed to get it partitioned, and installed OmniROM 4.4 stingray (not stingray cdma)
Upon boot, I had no 4g again, and could not even get 3g data at all. so i repartitioned back to stock, and reflashed honeycomb. got 4G again.
So my question is how the heck do I get a new ROM on this thing, when every time i flash one, I lose the 4G radio baseband?
Did you ever get an answer to this? I am in the exact same boat. Same story except I performed the LTE upgrade myself. Works flawlessly on Stock 4.1.2, but I have not found a single non-stock ROM with which I can use the mobile data.
Bump!!

My tablet is already activated using the IMEI and has 4G data. but I am still running stock. I may attempt flashing cyanogenmod at some point to see. but for the time being I have simply dealt with the stock rom. Rooted of course lol.
Here's the Answer!!!

Long story short, the problem is that final OTA update. You HAVE to stop installing OTA updates at IMM76L. DO NOT install JZO45M. As near as I can tell, it installs some sort of radio update that is not compatible with most if not all non-stock ROMs.
If you do let that final update install, you have to take the device all the way back to stock honeycomb and start over. See the above thread for precise details.

That's my thread, and what Taylor says is spot on. All of these custom ROMs are built using proprietary files from ICS and the JB update screws everything up. It's a laborious process to get 4G working, but it's worth it.

Check the Final Update......you MUST stop at IMM76L......Activate your SIM after every patch update to be sure. If you don't have your 4G back by IMM76L you have to wipe and restart the process. The LTE Baseband files are not being flashed to the radio properly.
