Um.. have you checked your MAC address, it is one thing which happened to me -my MAC address disappeared, and i couldn't connect to my wifi- check this- if not this probem- i have some more tricks up my sleeve

You may try to go to service center of the respected device i think for sure it will help

try stock rom, try stock kernel/rom
First and foremost
WIFI MAC is UNAVAILABLE unless radio is turned on... which brings me to another question...
What means *you can't turn wifi on*? There is no wifi setting, setting is stuck at off, setting tries to turn on but is never set as on, setting says it is on but you can't find networks?
Beware of service centers, they are evil...

It try to turn on but then switch back to off by itself.

did your sms stop working as soon as you flashed over the rom? or did it stop working a while after the fact? did you try isolating if its a rom problem by seeing if your sms works when your on a stock rom?
Hey I think it stopped straight away.its weird.I flashed the same Rom and kernel on my dads phone as I did on mine but yet his sms doesn't work and mine does?the only difference I have noticed is the base band numbers?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
try going back to stock and reflashing? I don't know why the baseband numbers are different to be honest
Ah ok thanks yeah will try that.thanks for responding anyway thought.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
Your baseband is also called your 'radio'. That's what you'll need to flash to change it, not the ROM itself.
I'd recommend the above user's steps (return to complete stock, try again). That should fix your issue completely
Good luck!
Ah ok thanks a lot.ill give that ago.;-)

K, one variable out the door, assuming you have other devices connecting to it no problem? Have you tried to connect wirelessly to another router? List what the router and modem you are using as someone with this more experience might help with more specific details. The other thing it it might have messed up hardware...

This happened to me once...and I had to have my g2x replaced...one thing I would try is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17258229
...if that still doesn't work...I'm with mt3g...it's probably hardware related...
EDIT: When I saw Error it never showed me the MAC address...do you see yours?
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk 2
no. no mac address :C
If you have a Nandroid backup from BEFORE the issue started...I would try that...otherwise try the link from my previous post...
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk 2
no didnt work tried the nvflash and now im at stock. but still no wifi -sigh- how would isend it back? and is it expensive?
this is either hardware, or more likely you are in need of a full factory reset
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk 2
whats a full factory reset 0.o?
well i got it to work after countless rebootings but... then i rebooted it to backup and when i started up again... no wifi and the backup has no wifi either =( nothings working for it

Wifi not working at all.

Hi all!
I have a problem with my LG Optimus 3D. I cannot enable the Wifi, when I tap on the wifi enable icon or try to enable in the Settings it just flashes. A note, I forgot to disable the wifi when I went to sleep, and my phone was on wifi all night, but I think this cannot be the source of the problem.
Here's what I tried so far:
- Hard reset - Wifi not working
- Factory reset - Wifi not working
- Changed the ROM - Wifi still not working (I used this ROM)
Any suggestions ?
Thanks for the answers in advance!
If the wifi is not working in any situation consider to put it back to stock, clean it up and give it to assistance to repair it.Might be a faulty WiFi module. Are you sure that you don't use a fixed IP on the phone or your router is faulty?Just asking...

Hi!
Thanks for your answer! My router is working fine, I cannot even turn on the Wifi on the phone. :/
Any more suggestions ?
Well the return to stock and assistance is still valid.Try doing an emergency recovery using update tool from LG.Maybe the new version software- the 2.3.7 version with v21e baseband version, would do something good. Cheers mate and good luck.

This is certainly not the source of the problem. I keep my WiFi always on (from advanced settings, WiFi Sleep policy: Never) which doesn't consume much batter when the phone is on standby.
did the problem occur when you flash the rom ?
in which baseband you had
for example if it was 2.2 baseband and the rom was for 2.3 it can not be flashed with clockworkmod
you should flash the kdz files for 2.3 baseband and then flash a rom with clcokworkmod
i also had problems with wifi and i did flash a 2,2 baseband ( kdz files ) and the problem was fixed
Can someone help me? I got a wifi issue also.... sometime i can't turn it on... and it drains my battery so quickly... and whenever it happens, i have to restart it in order to use the wifi... i think i have a stock rom... i don't flash another rom again since the last rom from thaiz... and there're not a big improve at all...

I had WiFi issues (and signal issues) from wrong base bands in GB. Some ROMs and kernels aren't compatible with certain base bands and you can either lose WiFi, signal or both

[q] help g2x does nothing

You seriously need to provide some more info. What did you do before it stopped working? What Rom and kernel are you using? What have you already done to fix it? Have you tried a factory reset? Have you removed the SIM and sd card and reinstalled them?
It's really hard to help with no real information

Wifi tethering

Hey folks,
This has stumped me since I started flashing custom roms and I'm now at wits end and am begging for someone out there to shed some light on this...
For some strange reason, I can't get Wifi tethering to work on any custom roms. I've tried Embryo, Pacman roms with no luck. I've checked, rechecked and rechecked my access point names for Rogers and the only thing that happens is that I can get devices to connect to the Wifi hotspot but no data can transfer.
However, if I do a full wipe and load stock Rogers JB rom, my tethering works fine.
I've included pictures of my settings. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!!

Put the script in system/etc/init.d
Holy [email protected]! It worked! A thousand thank yous!!!
I've abandoned really good roms because tethering didn't work and it is one of the things I use everyday...
Still can't believe it...
Glad to hear it!
