I wish I had known before flashing CM7 that many have had problems with the gps. I certainly do. I tried using my nandroid backup to go back to the Froyo ROM I had flashed from AddictiveTips, but backup and restore on ClockworkMod just leaves me with a blank screen. I've seen some tips on fixing gps, but most involving going back to a sense ROM and starting over. I'm not a computer whiz and some suggestions are hard to follow. I tried one involving Fast Reboot and Faster Fix, but it didn't work. Since ClockworkMod's restore won't work, I have to either wait for the CM7 gps problem to be fixed later or try re-installing the Froyo ROM from the SD card (which may or may not work). The gps with Froyo worked great. Any suggestions?
Nandroid backup didn't work?
And what problems are you having with gapps?
Me myself have problems in CM7 as well -> the gapps cannot be installed (well, CWM didn't mention any error when installing) but after boot up no gapps is there, after tons of research here and no solution too, and I rolled back to froyo.

CM7 working fine on my HD2. I'm running it from my SD though because I don't want to root.
From what I understand the GPS will not be fixed by a cm update its got something to do with the hardware you have to do http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11853529&postcount=2085 this to fix it. After I did the gpsclr fix mine has worked flawlessly. Also I don't think its only cm roms that have this issue.

ah i mistook gps for gapps. my mistake... lol
Odd... CM7 works perfectly on my Motorola Droid and Nook Color and I've also never had a GPS problem (even on older nightlies). What make and model is your phone? And are you running off a CM7 nightly (if so what build?) or an RC (the latest is RC4 as far as I know)?
Gps worked perfectly using Froyo (rooted, ROM from AddictiveTips). I have an HTC Desire (CDMA) from US Celular. No, I'm not running off nightlies. I installed CM7 RC4.
The fix suggested above sounds like I would have to first flash a sense ROM and then come back to CM7. Other than giving me extra space for apps, it isn't worth it. I could get by with Froyo since everything worked with it. With CM7, the gps doesn't work at all. Maps keeps searching for satellites and never finds them. I really miss not having voice directions.

all you need to do>
get a fresh rom myns or any that you like in reality it doesnt have to be sense if you just want to get away from cm7 altogether
but then boot into cm7,
plug it into your computer
load the new rom onto your phone
boot into recovery
then install the new rom.
sound good?
I appreciate the suggestions, but I decided to go back to Froyo and my gps is working again! Unfortunately, Clockworkmod won't let me re-install any backups, and I have no idea why. All I get is a blank screen. Fortunately, I can install from the SD card, which I did to get Froyo back. Since nandroid backups don't seem to work, I have to setup my phone from scratch everytime I make a ROM change.
Hi,
im wondering if someone can help me out.
I made a nandroid and installed a custom rom with custom kernel (Krakd) all worked great and am still toying around with it and want to go back to stock kernel. I put back the nandroid but am still on the roach kernel i found out that the CWM still doesnt backup the boot but will in a future version which i found out too late. Is there anyone who can get me a zip for CWM so i can put back the stock kernel for 8.6.5.18 ? Its the WW SL101 i have.
Thanks in advance.

did you get the stock kernel? I need the stock kernel too...
Or known some custom rom version that have no problems with the slider.
I tried the Revolver 3.9.5 but It can boot on my slider...
Thank you!!!
Does anybody have the stock kernel for the ASUS Slider ICS?
I tried flashing a Transformer Cyangoenmod and then flashing the Slider Comparability ZIP on top of that but there are too many problems. So, I reinstalled the backup I made before this started, but my tablet still says it is on the Cyanogenmod kernel.
Does anybody have the stock kernel for the ASUS Slider for ICS, know where I can download it, or would be willing to compile it for me from the ASUS website?
Thank you!
Chris Williams
I'm going to bump my thread with a little updated info.
I tried to flash the latest Stock ROM from the ASUS website by installing it on the MicroSD card. It installed just fine but it did NOT overwrite/update the Kernel so it's still trying to use the Kernel written by cyanogenMOD for the Asus Transformer.
The source code for the ASUS Slider Kernel is available on the ASUS website. I don't have enough posts to directly link to it yet unfortunately.
I do not have the expertise to take the stock source code for the kernel and compile it into something I can flash onto my tablet through ClockworkMOD. Can I please beg/donate to somebody to compile this for me? It's been asked for a few times throughout different forums so I'm sure it would benefit more than just myself.
Thank you,
Chris Williams
If I have time today I'll dl and compile it, I'm sure its in a thread somewhere though.
Otherwise you can flash Guevor's kernel which works great with stock
Thanks Thing-O-Doom. I'll be happy to be back on the stock kernel since the stock ROM is pretty darn close to vanilla Android and by rooting I've got the few functions I do use that are "advanced."
Do you know if Guevor's kernel works with the ASUS Slider also or is it just for the Transformer?
Thanks,
Chris
Bumping my thread with updated info.
I was experiencing a booting problem where the tablet was booting into ClockworkMOD by default but I didn't think the problems were related... they were. Because upon reboot it was going directly into ClockworkMOD it was not allowing ANY new install process to work. I discovered this when I tried to flash Guevor's latest kernel and it STILL said CyanogenMOD. Imagine my surprise.
So, I got the booting problem corrected and sure enough the new kernel installed just fine and appears to be okay for the moment so I'm back to having a functioning tablet. Yay!
If somebody would still be willing to compile the stock ASUS Slider Kernel for me and post it I will gladly donate to them. While Guevor's kernel does work I would prefer to be back on the Stock Kernel designed specifically for the tablet.
Thank you,
Chris
I have tried all of the ICS roms, and always gets stuck at the same spot. Wi-fi is turning on.
It worked on the Revolver 4, but I wanted to try another one. Did a super wipe, and bam. Nothing after that..
Any thing I might be able to try?
Nandroid restore, if that won't work nvflash?
you mean use NVflash to do the rom install vs the recovery?
I made a topic about this, check my post (not able to give you a link right now sorry)
I also need help with this. I am trying to come from CM9 cornerstone build back to revolver. I have done a couple restores and I still get no WIFI. Anybody have anymore info on this?
Have a look at this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1530612
You can try this:
- Turn off wifi
- rename the file /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf to wpa_supplicant.old
- reboot
- try wifi again to see if it works
**note
This might cause the tablet to forget any previously saved networks.
I have tried Outpoxs' method in varies combinations with no success also I have tired your method a.mcdear and also with no success. Mine is still stuck on Turing WI-Fi on... The one thing with outpox method there might have been something I was doing wrong.
This is how I fixed my tablet after 15 hours of trying everything. I downloaded the ota rooted full version of ics and performed a full wipe then made sure it booted into that rom with wifi working then proceeded to flash my revolver backup with no problems. Hope that helps.
Similar WiFi issue - still stuck
I hate to bump an old thread, but I've recently hit what appears to be a related issue (WiFi stuck off), though perhaps there are some twists to my tale - and I'm still stuck.
I have an early TF101 (B50) and have had it rooted with stock ICS for awhile. Everything has been mostly fine, but I decided to give CM9 nightlies a try.
Here's where my issue differs from the others in this thread. With the CM9 nightly flashed, I was stuck at the boot animation (for hours - left it overnight with no progress). I restored my nandroid backup and now I had the "WiFi Turning on" issue that others here have experienced.
I've tried multiple other ROMS (latest of AOKP, Gummy, and Prime 1.6), with complete wipes, and in each case, I was stuck on the respective boot animation. This completely mystifies me, but it may not be related to the WiFi problem. After each iteration of failed ROM flashing, I can restore my nandroid backup (the rooted stock ICS) and everything works fine EXCEPT WiFi.
Following the suggestions in this thread I've tried flashing a new stock ROM (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514658) and while that doesn't stick at the boot animation, it also doesn't fix my WiFi. I also tried a.mcdear's suggestion in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23446585&postcount=7, but I did not have the file wpa_supplicant.conf in my /data/misc/wifi directory. The only file in there was an empty file called "status." Just for good measure, I tried renaming it, but no joy.
At this point, I'm out of ideas and have a severly crippled TF. I would appreciate any suggestions or ideas from the community.
TIA

I've have a rooted TF101 B50 and most ROM's that I have tried seem to fail at this point as well. However, I did notice that when I flashed my first ROM (AOKP) it has the same stock kernel. So I tried another one. This time was Revolution 4. It seemed to work out just fine because I belive it has the stock kernel. Next I moved onto a CM10 Eruoskank ROM. It too had the problem of the AOKP ROM in that after I flashed it, the stock kernel was still present, presumably left over from the Revolution 4 ROM. I am now on Android Revolution HD 3.5.0 and it seems to work fine so I am sticking with it for the time being.
I beleive something in the flashing script of the ROM or the recovery program itself is not flashing the /boot partition properly. I am not a developer nor do I have an in depth knowledge of the inner workings of Android...but this is just a guess. I hope there is a way to flash just a kernel in the /boot partition from these individual ROMs. That would be nice.
If can access recovery then do a full wipe(system, cache and dalvik) and install the ROM again... that should do the trick... you might wanna try some other kernel also... there few kernels for ICS in the forum look for them and flash them via recovery...

It seems as thought someone else is on the same track as I am.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29447134&postcount=8
rstry this:
take unit out of dock if you use one. restore via cwm if u can, to 3.01 firmware, honeycomb. wipe all cache, data, etc prior to flash.
DO NOT SIGN INTO GOOGLE ACCOUNT.
Turn tablet completely off following boot. Cold boot back on. Grab latest official firmware off Asus website, xx.27
Install via CWM, and again wipe ALL.
Boot into system again, and cold boot back on. Asus should prompt you with 300mB update now, which differs from the official .27,but had same filename...
I found this bug/glitch a few hours ago... Somehow downgrading to HC and back to stock triggers this unknown update...
See if you can reproduce please. I also saved the firmwares to sdcard external.
The various ROMs require a supporting kernel. I would try obtaining the correct kernel for the ROM you want and then flash them both at the same time from recovery.
Resolved - for me
From replies here and other research, it became clear to me that I should reflash my transformer back to stock (NVFLASH down to the metal). Every other ROM would show the stuck WiFi issue or (worse) would get into a boot loop.
This was something of a problem, because my volume up button was broken and I couldn't enter APX mode. I finally managed a workaround for that (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1890236) and then used EasyFlasher to restore the Asus firmware. Now the WiFi works fine and all is well again.
So, as a last resort - scrub and start over.
Cheers!

I also have the same issue. Bought the eee pad transformer with a cracked screen; touch screen did not work. I replaced it and everything works great! except for Wi-Fi =\ Any help would be greatly appreciated!
You should really start your own thread. That being said, first thing to try is to back up all your data and wipe it to factory using EasyFlasher. If the problem persists after a stock firmware flash, then it's likely a hardware issue. If it's resolved, then it was a rom/software issue.

Im 99% sure your problem is that you haven't got the right kernel for the rom your using, this is the usual outcome - wifi not working/ turning on. i don't think nandroid backs up the kernel so your basically restoring stock ICS rom with cm9s kernel. Try find the related kernel to rom your currently on. As for your rom failed flashing, you might be using a very old recovery try updating to the newest twrp recovery. Better yet join the dark side and move up to Jelly Bean, makes the tf101 a whole new device.
Hello, i recently bought an asus transformer and ive rooted it and installed a custom rom well today i had problems with it bootlooping into recovery well i fixed that now for some reason my wifi wont turn on it just says turning on wifi and doesnt do anything so what im wanting to do is fastory restore and unroot the device so i can start fresh can anyone point me into the right direction to do so? Thanks.

You can Nvflash a stock ROM, but Guevor's kernel will also fix your wifi issues. Don't use ROM manager, it causes bootloops. Also try a different ROM (which did you flash), and you must get the CM9/AOKP based kernel to get wifi to work on an AOSP ROM. (See megatron version in guevor's thread)
So I have a little bit of a strange issue.
I had flashed the AOKP Milestone 5 on my TF, and although I managed to fix the CWM bootloop, it doesn't appear I'm able to install any other ROM.
Since I've flashed it, any other ROM I attempt to flash either fails to complete it's first boot (watched a few different ones try for hours yesterday) or wifi will not turn on. The wifi issue is also present in my backup from stock.
Perhaps for the ROMs that are booting for me there is a different kernel I may have better luck with? Thoughts, anyone?

What recovery are you using? might pay to try another (Recommended: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1759452)
You may want to obtain a kernel compatible with the ROM you want to try and flash both the ROM and kernel at the same time. The wrong kernel could definitely cause both the booting problems and the wifi not turning on.
I think about a kernel problem too, go to your ROM thread and you'll see the best kernel to flash with it...
