[q] wifi "error"

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.

When it does that is your SD card not mounted anymore and requires a reboot for it to see it again? That happens to me smetimes

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.

[Rom][ODIN] Stock Gingerbread 2.3.3 Deodexed + Root KF2

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
T959VUVKF2 NO BOOTLOADERS
Thanks
Dr.Honk for answering all my stupid questions.
Krylon360 for original KF2 leak

nice dude!!!

Been looking for this. Might be enough to make me give KF2 a try finally.
Thanks.

Nice up man

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?

This will erase all apps, you need to use titanium backup first if you want to save that stuff.

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.
Thanks.

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

[Q] NS4G - 4G Stopped Working

I have had a Nexus S 4G for about 2 months now, and earlier today, the 4G functionality just suddenly stopped working. It was working fine, and the connection dropped, so I went into the settings to reconnect, and now it just stays on "Initializing".
I was running the 8/31 nightly build of CM7 at the time.
I have tried the following, to no avail:
Reboot
Flash a different CM7 build
Update Profile/PRL
Wipe cache/dalvik cache
Nandroid backup, full wipe, flash stock ROM
At first I thought it might be a problem with Sprint, but my sister said 4G works just fine on her Evo, so I'm thinking it's a problem with my phone.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I could do to fix this, or should I just return it to Sprint and exchange it? I've had it for less than 90 days so it should still be under warranty.

Is your sister at the same location?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium

Yes she is.

Based on what you have said, there isn't anything that should have caused 4g to stop working. I would take it to Sprint and see what they say. Unrooted of course
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium

Update on the situation...
In preparation for returning it to Sprint, I "unrooted" it following instructions I found on AndroidCenteral (basically downloading the GRJ22 build images and flashing those via fastboot). Strangely enough, that fixed the issue.
I've now rooted it again and am back on CM7 with no problems. Just to ensure the problem wasn't a file in the backup, I'm reinstalling everything rather than restoring a backup.
Still have no clue what the problem was, but it's working now.

Download failed. Content not supported on phone.

Im trying to download a rom so I can flash it to my wifes phone. I have the zipfolder on my laptop but for some reason when I put it on the SD card it doesn't show when I go into recovery. I flashed my phone by downloading the link straight to my phone. Im trying on hers but I keep getting download failed content is not supported on the phone. I even tried to download just a pic online and the download failed. Am I missing a setting on the phone or what? I downloaded astro and any file download because I read that it may fix it but it doesn't. Thanks for yalls help.

Make sure you're putting it on the internal SD. Not sure that you can access the external in recovery.
As for the download failed, try using a different browser such as dolphin browser HD. I used to run into similar problems downloading stuff with the stock browser, but never with dolphin.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium

Thanks for the reply. I just tried dolphin-browser and download failed due to not enough memory. The phone was factory reset just before so all the SD cards and internal storage are fresh. And when I tried from the computer I pit it in the space that pops up when I select to view the phones files. External SD is listed so I know it not going on there. I could work around that like I did on my phone if I could figure out why hers won't download anything (besides market apps, it downloads them fine) its aggravating to say the least.

When I installed from SD the zip was under downloads. Is that the problem? Should I be able to get back to stock rooted from recovery, or do I have to Odin back? Thanks guys. I swear im about ready to give up on this phone!

Should I have to rename the zip or just leave it as shorticut on the end of it?
E* Nm I'm a bonehead. I was sending the zip to desktop and it was making it a shortcut. I finally woke the hell up and moved it straight from the folder to the SD. Trial and error I guess. Thanks for your patience.

I just tried it coming from GB NexusMod 4 and just got the boot loop as well. It is a little tricky getting back into recovery - you only get about a second in the CWM menu before the phone spontaneously reboots.

Performed it fine here with zero issue.
If your cwm is acting up, may be lot more going on here.
I suggest a return to stock
Reflash cwm
Then flash this build.
Wish I could say more but UN able to see or confirm your issue.

Tmo
Hey, great base.
I have flashed this, the leak and a few other ics roms. On this rom I cannot get my phone to hook up to tmo 4g, edge works fine, but it wont jump from edge to 4g. I tried flashing a tmo radio but no dice.
The leak worked fine in that regard. Consistently connected to highest available signal.
what can I tweak in order to re-establish connection to tmo 4g.
I tried to go into mobile network settings and all of the settings there seem consistent with the stock tmo settings. But when i try to change network operator settings from automatic to manual it never gets past "searching"
Thanks for any help you might be able to lend

Also, i think this guy should credit The Collective.
