Wifi not working

Ok so the problem i am having is i am unable to get wifi to work without the phone saying error next to wifi. My One S has the lastest radio and HBOOT 1.06. So i understand that i do not need to flash the boot.img from fastboot, but i still do to make sure that it is flashing ok. That does not fix the problem. I have even used the stock T-MO nanodroid to go back to stock rom and i still flash the boot.img file from fastboot still not wifi. Everything on the phone works fine but wifi. After the phone boots up wifi is already on and it does scan and see networks. When i try to connect to one it doesn't connect, if i toggle wifi off and turn it back on again it gives me a error when turning wifi on. Only thing i am wondering is, i do not have a SIM CARD in the phone right now since i do not have a micro sim right now. Does the phone need a SIM CARD in it for wifi to work. I spent 3 hours last night flashing different roms and boot.imgs trying to get wifi to work. All with errors still. Anything ideas right now would be great.
edit: forgot to add when i flash the boot.img in fastboot i always get a finished with no errors as if the boot.img is flashing fine.

wifi problem
I just pulled my sim from my One s and found i had no problem with the wifi connection. What kind of error is it, do you have any code?

No code. If I do a full wipe the wifi scans for a network sees them but does not connect. Then it will turn off on its own and just say error next to the on and off button. It does it with every rom and kernel combo I have tried. Even going to back to the full stock rom it does it. I know the kernel is flashing since it shows the right kernel under about.

i've encountered the same issue, but only when i flashed an overclocked kernel. and when i flashed the kernel back the error went away. have you tried unrooting?

I was looking for a full stock unrooted rom and but couldn't find anything other then a nanodroid of stock rooted. I was thinking of just flashing the ruu and seeing if that fixes it. Not sure at this point because I have tried every kernel and rom all which do not work so far. I have also formated everything thinking maybe something was left behind no go as well. I know wifi works since I used the phone for a few days before I Dev unlocked it and rooted it. I also setup the phone on wifi with no sim card when I pulled it out of the box at the start. Something happen after the unlock and rooting part. Could updating the hboot help at all.

I fixed it. I flashed the TMO 1.84 RUU and wifi is working again. It updated the HBOOT to 1.09 and everything is stock with working wifi. I am starting all over to see if i can get it working with a rom as well now.

[Q] GPS on Infusion Beta3

Hi
Sorry to post here rather than in ROM thread as I don't have enough posts.
I've just updated to Tillaz's Infusion Beta 3 ROM. It all looks great and I haven't found any problems except...
It seems as if GPS is disabled. Maps will find me using wifi etc but isn't getting a GPS lock at all. GPS status doesn't "see" any sattellites at all (i.e. they're not even there with insufficient signal). I have GPS enabled in the location settings and it all worked before the update. Clean wipe all done.
I'm guessing that it's an internal setting somewhere but perhaps someone can help? Is anyone else experiencing this?
Many thanks
Sam

I have the same problem running CyanogenMod 11 build 20140120. I cannot get the GPS to work with this custom ROM and I cannot report the bug in the ROM thread because I don't have enough posts.
Does anyone have a method of re-activating the GPS after installing a custom ROM?
Thanks

Thanks - glad to know I'm not alone!
It's strange as it worked fine on beta 1 and 2 (both based on retail stock 4.2.2 I think) so I wonder whether it's moving to the GPE that has done it - does that fit with your experience moving to one of the CM11s?
I'm surprised that there are not more people who have this issue, however - I don't know whether we've managed to do something funny or if it is a proper bug...

Fixed!
I managed to get my GPS working!
Here are the steps I took:
1) Boot into (CWM) recovery
2) Backup your current ROM
3) Restore the stock ROM - you did make a backup before you flashed the custom, right?
4) Boot into the stock rom
5) In Settings->Location, switch on the GPS
6) Launch Maps app
7) Wait until you are located on the map
8) Reboot into (CWM) recovery
9) Restore your custom ROM
10) Reboot into your custom ROM
Your GPS should now work.... well mine did after taking these steps.
I'll also post this in a separate thread for anyone else that is having problems.

Have you tried - settings-location-mode-high accuracy ?

Hi there. I don't wanted to open up a new thread. I've installed Infusion B3 over 4.2.2. Everything works fine for me, accept Wifi. Did anyone experience the same problem?

For me, it worked well on the first network I connected to but then although it could see the next one (home) it wouldn't connect. I was going to try incredibull's GPS fix by going to infusion b2 but found everything worked so I stuck with it. Hope you find a solution...

OMG WiFi

Wi-Fi has gotten really annoying. Works fine on stock and DID work fine on Alliance but now it mysteriously stopped working on anything but the Stock slot on safestrap. Sure I want to fix it but I am truly curious why it stopped working on Alliance when it did before....even a reflash doesn't help.

Software is not intermittent. Seeing as how its unique to your device, I'd say its your device or your particular installation. You should check that you have a proper clean installation. Check the tips and posts in the ROM thread you are using.

im not sure if it is the same, but when i had an s4 with safestrap on it i had to flash the kernel modules along with the rom otherwise WIFI and other things would not work. COuld it possibly be something like this?

You make a good point. I can certainly give that a try again, but I remain a bit confused as to why in the case of Alliance, WiFi used to work but doesn't any more especially because I reflashed from the same zip file of the same SD Card onto the same phone.

You have to flash the kernel module every time you do a new flash, even if it is the same ROM. If you didn't flash the kernel module in the same session this last time you flashed Alliance, that would be why your WiFi is not working.

[Q] Anyone succeed with GPS with custom rom

Hi all,
Did anyone able to use gps with custom rom ( I would say CM base). I research and try everything that's I could find here but not success.
Every time I do clean wipe everything including a internal storage. So that will nothing left behind.
I know that stock is work fine with gps. some said that install and replace stock but I have no idea that what file will left in our device when we delete all.

Always had the same problem when running Paranoid Android (not tried other ROMs). Had to return to stock, where GPS runs fine. Would also love to kknow how people have got it functioning.

I am trying too. I modified gps.conf files, tried some workarounds mentioned in cm11 thread like restoring GPS Status backup from stock with titanium so far with no success. Some people say that it works but it doesn't on mine whatever I do.

I run on CM and I don't have any problem. Everything works fine with gps and I didn't use any fix or something similar.
I'm on CM 11-20140627 and I have 1032 phone.

Interesting, why does it work on some while it doesn't on others? Maybe some variants are having problems...
I have xt1033 asia version.

Which recovery did you use?

CWM

As I wonder is about library missing or some partition need from stock ?

I've also been using the micro gapps package, would this matter?

I had problems with Paranoid Android and GPS too... If anyone know something about that, please comment!

I am having he same problem on XT1032 running Carbon ROM. GPS worked fine on stock, no signal with Carbon.
I found many answers saying to flash stock and then reflash custom ROM. I will try it, but I wonder, how does this help? Isn't the phone restoring the whole system? Do I have to keep the gps.conf from stock?

I've read in some CM thread on here you need to flash stock ROM then enable GPS and get a lock. Once you've done that then flash your custom rom. Sounds STUPID and dosent make sense I know, but a lot of people say this is how they got it to work.
EDIT: I can confirm. I've just flashed stock 4.4.4 and played around with google maps. Flashed CM11 nightly and my GPS is now working ok

Did you wipe anything, like Dalvik, Cache and Data, or you just flashed it over?

Sorry people, I was so happy to have my phone back working, I forgot to write it back here.
Yes it worked indeed, all I did was flashing back the stock, going outside to have a gps lock with gmaps, then re-flashing back the Carbon. I also kept a copy of the gps.conf, but I never needed it, the GPS got a fix quickly. Working fine so far, it only takes some tens of seconds to fix, from time to time.
I can't remember if I also did all the wiping, I think I didn't, but I made so many trials in a couple days, I am not sure.
Thanks a lot guys!

Yes, this worked for me too on PA.
I couldn't even see a single sat (it wasn't just a lock problem). No matter with gps patch, gpx fix app, or gps.conf I used.
What I did?: Back to stock, lock GPS, flash again the custom ROM (but don't wipe /system!).
Good luck on that guys, it should work for you too.

GPS works fine on this unofficial CM11 rom for me. Stable daily driver rom for me, YMMV.
General advice is to:
- make sure you get a GPS lock on stock rom first
- flash CM11 (or other custom rom)
There may not be a file left on the device. it may just be that stock contains the code to initialize the GPS functionality on the SoC or chipset firmware. Whatever, it works...

[Q] HELP NEEDED - No Service after installing AOSP ROM

Can someone please help me out with an issue I am having...?
I can't seem to get Service after installing an AOSP ROM. I have been messing around with this issue for several days now. When I install a 'NON AOSP' ROM such as 'the 'MOAR ROM' it works fine, but then I go to in recovery (Newest TWRP or Newest Philz Touch) and do all of the required 'Wipes' then Install an AOSP ROM like 'Fusion', 'PAC' or the most recent 'CM11 Nightly' and I do not get any Cellular Service (WiFi is fine) and I have been looking for answers for several days and I can't seem to find any.
Can someone please help me out and let me know what I need to do, or point me to the right direction?
Thanks in advance for any help and/or resources that anyone can provide me with. It will be greatly appreciated.
Phone:
Sprint Samsung Galaxy S5 NE5 (Rooted with Knox Tripped :crying
MOAR ROM Installed / Touchwiz Interface.

Same was happening to me on philz recovery . so I install trwp for sprint/Verizon . then I installed trwp manager from play store . I install the PAC ROM from in the app and let it wipe it self . and that did the trick at least for me. I have tried many ways like your self. Nothing work that's the only way I got it working. Hope that help.

I'll give it a shot and see what happens. Thanks for the tip...
Has anyone else had this problem? If so, can you post anything you did to get it working...
My Phone Thanks You...

Im having the same problem on both TW and AOSP. If I mess around with the connection settings I can get a signal but when I reboot its lost.
Ive tried both recoveries and its the same on both. Ive tried flashing modems but that did nothing
EDIT: Seems that any kernel that I flash breaks my phones signal, I need to test further to see what part of the kernel flash is causing this.

Whenever I download klte roms I had that problem. I could receive data and text, but I couldn't send any. I used Google voice until I flash kltespr roms. once I flashed the specific roms for our device it worked. Though I had to install ktoonez's version of twrp to get them to flash. That file can be found on the AICP thread.

I think you guys need to flash an APN package with klte roms. Kltespr roms should not have this problem, but if you run into it flashing the APN package shouldn;t hurt there either. Not sure if there is still an APN zip floating around, you may have to manually fix your APN.

It turns out that the custom kernel I was using broke the signal for some reason. Other than that, I had no problems as long as I flashed a kltespr rom. Klte roms worked for data if i used a virgin mobile apn, but there was no texting or calling.
I attached the flashable zip I used to get the virgin mobile apn. I would recommend flashing it right after you flash your rom.

having this same issue also..
i have tried several things.. going back to complete stock and working forward
no matter what i do i get no service on any AOSP rom.. im going to try this apn fix. hopefully it doesnt further break anything lol

Anyone figure this out yet? I've tried about 4 aosp roms and no luck.

PacMan rom with PA Gapps and Ktoonsez kernel worked for me. None of the others did so it must be a ROM issue.

Part of the reason kltespr was de-unified was because of issues like this.
When I'd fix something it would break something else for T-mobile or international.
So I would recommend sticking to kltespr builds for the time being.
Hopefully some work I'll be putting in soon will help get this back in gear.

I couldn't get data on any kltespr builds except Pac Man and even then I lost data the next day for some reason. The new lollipop build has data working for me even though it's "GSM only" so just hoping it stays that way haha Waiting on fixes for battery drainage and I'll run it daily
