My wifi always have worked... but suddenly one day, it would show error when I turn it on. At that time, I was running Mike's ARHD 3.5.. so I thought flashing a new ROM would fix it and flash to the new ARHD 6.5.1. However, problem still persist. My phone is already s-off & rooted.
Firmware RUU on 3.32
Kernel 3.0.16
I know there are the problem where the kernel of the new rom doesn't match the original stock kernel but if I'm s-off already, that shouldn't be a problem right?
Worst thing is that the wifi will just be either 'turning on' or 'error'.. it will not turn off, so I would assume it is eating up my battery.
Solved yet?
I have the same problem with my Sensation. It's on Revolutionary S-off. So there shouldn't be a problem. I checked the logcat and it says the driver for the wifi is not loaded. I checked the /data/system/misc/wifi folder or something like that and the wifi driver is in there so I don't know what else to do. I'm so desperate for wifi since my data runs at 3kb/s.

Install root explorer or app like that to have access to root level, den, you can find the wpa_supplicant.conf file in /data/misc/wifi/ directory on your phone. Simply cut/rename the file and put it somewhere else.
Remove it from there and move it to sdcard..
Restart de phone. Wifi should work now.

Even i had the same problem !! what i did was I flashed the rom again !! that is superwipe + flash !! And it worked !!
check my thread....its wip.

So I got myself a Desire S.
Problem is, everytime I switch the WIFI toggle to ON, it would say
"Turning On..."
for a little bit, then It would say "Error", and everytime I try to toggle the BLUETOOTH to ON, it would say the same and just returns to "OFF" position.
Status of the phone before rooting and flashing:
"LOCKED"
SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT: 2.000.20
Radio: .....10.08.04_M
I tried flashing several ROMS including the Kernel(BOOT.IMG) via Fastboot;
Virtous Quattro RC3
Reaper V3
IceColdSandwich 7.5
CM7.1 NIGHTLY
also tried flashing to stock RUU with Radio and HBOOT versions;
Gingerbread 2.3.3 --> Europe and Asia Versions
Gingerbread 2.3.5 --> Europe, Asia, India Versions
Currently on Stock Gingerbread 2.3.5 Rooted through Superoneclick
Until now the issue persists. I'm wifi and bluetooth less.
I've tried searching Google, found some "USB-BRICK" topic on the DESIRE forum, didn't work.
Motorola forum, mentioned a reflash of the Radio.
HTCDesireSForum mentioned a reflash of HBOOT and Radio.
Here in XDA, it mentions that in flashing ROMS, on HBOOT 2.00.20 you have to flash BOOT.IMG from the zip file of the rom via Fastboot.
Tried and failed. I'm beginning to think this is a hardware issue.
Anyone with an idea why or to a solution?
nobody? I haven't found any solutions so far. I really hope someone could help or atleast point me in the right direction
Any updates on your issue?
Have you tried bringing it in to service centers? It looks like a hardware problem.
your issue should just revolve around changing hboot, radio and rom.. I cant think of anything that could affect those hardware..

unfortunately no. I didn't give it anymore thought since I'm using it only for camera and music.
Have you tried the latest radio.. I think its worth a try..
Flash hboot of your choice and the latest radio and stable Rom choice.
I really don't think these hardware break that easily..

I'm not sure about the bluetooth, but I may have a fix for the WiFi.
I have a One S and I started getting the same error when I tried to turn on the WiFi. It turned out that my wpa_supplicant.conf file became corrupt somehow. I just deleted /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf and it fixed the problem.

Have you tried to restore the stock ROM?

Hi,
I believe THIS PATCH will restore your hboot to 1.27 and not "LOCKED"
Silly question,did you try rebooting your router?

EDIT: it says -Revolutinary- and HBOOT is 1.27.1100 Thanks!
router works, coz we are using several phones and notebook @home...
I am afraid the worse scenario...burned chip or motherboard.
Or maybe if i get back to S-ON, unroot and restore complete stock...?

Hi,
The other thing worth considering are the 2 gold pins inside the phone,just above the camera lens.
GENTLY lift them to make a better contact.

I am afraid, even this is not working. Pins definetly have some resistance and resting to its place. :-/ when i return from vacation, i´ll take my precious Sensation XE to a doctor, he will know perhaps.
I have this problem too. I've been using ViperS 1.1.0 for a few weeks without any wifi problem. Yesterday, the wifi was working like normal then in the evening I flashed HyperNonsense 3.3 just to try it. Didn't like it, so I restored nandroid of my ViperS, then flashed yank555's faux123 kernel v2.52. I only realised wifi is not working today morning. It just shows "Turning On", but nothing happens. Could it be kernel issue? Previously i was using yank555 v1.9 without any issue thoguh.
i also have the same problem with the wi fi turning on for 10 mins then it shows error
mine came with the initial ics ota update a very common problem i see on the net not only wifi but bluue tooth also not work
i installed the latest ota a week or so ago which cured a few bugs but still no wifi or bluetooth
so.... i did jb s offf , root etc installed CM9 this fixed the blue tooth and made the screen move reactive and smooth this is one cool ROM BUT still no wifi
any and all suggestions welcome but please consider i am a noob http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/confused.gif and may need a few signposts
thanks in advance

I honestly don´t know, i thought, wifi is (almost)only kernel related, but now i see, that it is not :/ It is almost exactly my problem, i was using ViperS and changed kernel...but it didn´t suit me, so i restored the previous one...than i woke up and wifi is gone i cant solve it for now, i don´t have any freetime at this moment for making full stock condition.
i have tested stock rom with stock kernel, with some other HBOOT but still the same.

Your wifi stops working through an official update? You should claim it! it is not your fault...for me, everything works, except thing about wifi like tethering etc., thats a serious problem, even reflasing the whole phone (rom, radio, hboot, kernel) doesn't help :/
I had Xperia Arc before Sensation XE and reflash always helps, no matter what happens.

All I had to do was pull that file out from the directory and turn on wifi and *poof* it worked again. When I turned wifi on it created a new file and everything has been great so far this afternoon.
In case anyone wants to give it a shot who is having wifi issues you can find the wpa_supplicant.conf file in /data/misc/wifi/ directory on your phone. Simply cut/rename the file and put it somewhere else. If you have wifi passwords you want to save, you can open the original file using a text editor and copy the settings over to the new file.
I believe the cause of my issue was actually Titanium Backup. Looking at the last time it backed up my wifi settings was back when I wasn't running ICS yet. Yesterday I did restore an app using it and must have accidentally restored that old backup. Their formats are different from Gingerbread to ICS apparently and it was causing errors.
i found this on another post dont know if it will help but it could be the problem with the ota update from gb to ics
now the silly noob question how do you access the directory ????http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/icons/advanced/sign.png
i got into the directory but it doesnt seem to work in another thread someone got it to work with a virtuous rom
ill try that on thr weekend
enjoy your vacation
hmmm thats iteresting, but if you do full-wipe and flash some rom and kernel, these files are rewriten...but because i am curious i tried it and!!! it is not working for me :-/
And how to get into this directory?Simply... download dome file manager from Play Market(i lika Total Commander), but you can use whatever you like, set in options "root function everywhere" and allow superuser. than you can go in any directory and read/write/change
EDIT: ou, now a see whole post, ignore my instruction i am mega-sleepy

No help for me still the same "turning on"
Hi Guys.. I own an T-Mobile branded HTC One S with the S4 processor.
Here's the problem: I can't connect to Wi-Fi at my job... and only at my job. I can connect at home just fine with my personal router, and just about everywhere else. What's interesting to note though is that I only can't connect when using an AOSP/AOKP-based ROM and also when using the latest STOCK T-Mobile USA Jellybean ROM.
The phone can connect from both at work and at home when running stock ICS and when running ViperROM 2.0, which I believe is based on the European JB update, not the American one.
At work, we have these Cisco MERU wireless access points throughout the building. The phone can pick up the SSID (we have two SSID's actually; one for guests and one for corporate) but I can't connect to either one. When I try to connect, the phone says "Scanning, Connecting to ..., Disconnected" and just loops. If I go into the more detailed Wi-Fi view, I see the name of the SSID I am trying to connect to, and underneath it says "Saved, Secured." Eventually it changes from "Saved, Secured" to "Authentication Problem."
I actually work in two seperate buildings that both have these Cisco MERU access points, and both buildings give me the same problem. They are using WPA2-AES
I have tinkered and tinkered for weeks now, and eventually lost SuperCID and S-OFF. I thought I could fix the problem by going back to stock everything. Little did I know that upgrading to the latest T-Mobile USA JB would no longer allow you to S-OFF and SuperCID. Anyway, even on this latest stock ROM, I can't connect at work. Like I said, I could only connect when I was on ICS or on a European JB ROM.
Just for a little background, this isnt the same Wi-Fi problem everyone else is having where they need to flash the "extra JB partitions" zip file or the "Archive.zip" file floating around. Even the "temporary radio installer.zip" doesnt solve this.
Is there any way at all that I can extract the Wi-Fi "drivers" from ViperROM 2.0 and install them on my phone for use with the latest USA JB ROM???
Here are my phone stats by the way:
VLE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.15.000
RADIO-1.13.50.05.31
And I am running the latest T-Mobile USA Jellybean stock ROM which I got from using the latest RUU. (RUU_Ville_U_JB_45_S_TMOUS_3.14.531.11_Radio_1.13.50.05.31_10.30.50.08L_release_309489_signed_ICS_2)
I would really, really, really appreciate any feedback from someone a lot smarter than I am. I know I typed a ton.
It seems like there's some kind of Wi-Fi "security protocol"(for lack of a better term) or what-not that this latest JB update doesn't support. For some reason ICS supported it, but the American JB and AOSP/AOKP do not. I obviously can't change what kind of security the Wi-Fi at my job uses, so I'm really thinking there must be a way to just copy the Wi-Fi "drivers" (for lack of a better term) from ICS or from ViperROM and put them on my phone.
Does anyone know how to do this? Is this even possible? I read something about /etc/lib and something involving .ko files, but I would just like someone with a little more expertise than myself to chime in.
In case anyone is actually curious(I doubt it) I at least made SOME progress. I can now get Wi-Fi to work on Sense-based roms that are based on the latest T-Mobile USA Jellybean OTA. Here's what I had to do:
S-OFF'd my device using "Moonshine" method (THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!)
1. Flashed ViperROM 2,2
1. Using "Root Explorer" app I copied every file in /system/lib/modules folder from ViperROM 2.2 and put them on my SD card.
2. Flashed "United Basics" ROM (based on JB OTA)
3. Confirmed that Wi-Fi was working at home, but not at work.
4. Copied all of the modules from Viper to /system/lib/modules and overwrote everything using "Root Explorer"
5. Rebooted into recovery.
6. Flashed "Sense-Radio-Installer-v6.zip" from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1998270 and made sure I selected the checkbox for "Sense Wi-Fi fix" (it's selected by default)
7. Rebooted back into system and bam... Wi-Fi now works perfectly.
Flashing the "sense radio installer" alone was not able to fix the problem; you have to copy those modules first. Now I just need a similar method to get this to work on AOSP/AOKP roms.

First, I just want to thank you for taking time out to read this thread and offer a solution. Unfortunately, flashing that zip file didn't work. As a matter of fact, after flashing it, I can't even turn Wi-Fi on at all anymore. I tried flashing it in the Xperia Z ROM by Taylor_Swift and Dark Jelly S Edition Build 31. In both cases, I couldn't turn Wi-Fi on anymore after flashing your zip. But thank you for trying.

Oh OK. In my latest update, I mentioned that I already found a fix for stock/Sense-based ROMs. I am now looking for a fix for any non-Sense ROMs. I tried the "temporary-radio-installer but that doesn't do it.
I did manage to find ONE non-Sense ROM where the Wi-Fi actually works at my job. It's a ROM called "liquid_ville-ics-eng.v1.5mr1"
I am trying to see if I can somehow copy some files from that ROM to get my job's Wi-Fi working on other, newer non-Sense ROMs. That ROM is ICS-based and so is a little too outdated for me.
Thanks again, though. At least you tried.
Hi there,
I have a problem with my HTC Sensation XE: Can't get the WiFi working.
When i hit the switch to put it ON, it stays on OFF and gives me "Turning on WiFi..." message forever.
- It is not a Radio / RIL problem since, i've tested many ROM's with many Radio / RIL's and it still doesn't work.
- It's not a Hardware problem since, sometimes, it works after various reboots or battery unplugs.
- When i write "getprop" in the terminal i get:
[wifi.interface]: [wlan0] | but if i write ifconfig wlan0 down the answer is SI0CGIFFLAGS no such device
[wifi.softap.interface]: [wlan0]
[wifi.softapconcurrent.interface]: [wl0.1]
[wifi.supplicant_scan_interval]: [15]
[wlan.driver.status]: [unloaded]
[wlan.sim.enabled]: [1]
I really don't know how to get it working again.
[Questions]
* What does the WiFi working / not working depends by? Kernel, Firmware, Radio, RIL, ROM ecc ?
* Is there any way to fix this?
Let me know fellas!

After unsing WiFix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45909421#post45909421
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Phone Specs:
ROM: Android Revolution HD 7.3 ( Android 4.0.3 )
Sense: 3.6
Kernel: SebastianFM 3.0.16-v1.5.2
Baseband: 11.76C.3504.00P_11.29A.3504.18_M
it depends from kernel mostly
try a diffrent kernel and see how it goes
you can use also the wifix manager app
I've tried a lot of kernels while changing ROMs but, the problem doesn't seem to get fixed ( actually i'm on a SebastianFM kernel ), however, after the WiFix got installed and activated through *#94349#, i've restarted the phone and the WiFi worked for 2 minutes ( in fact it scanned for wireless network, recognized them and almost connected ). After 2 mins, the WiFi stopped working again and, while trying to reactivate it, I saw that now I can't even deactivate it and i get the "Turning WiFi off..." message
Even tried to change the country code in the app from US to IT ( i'm in Italy ) but nothing happens...
At least i can confirm that it is not a hardwer problem.

take out your back cover and lift up gently the pins which are responsible for the wifi
after that check your wifi
I had it too. But when I install revelation 1.0.2 rom and flash sebastian kernel it works good.

That works for you?
Hello, I have a problem which is almost similar to yours. I tested EVERYTHING, i mean everything i could find in this forum and in the internet. I knew that the Sensation has a problem with the Wi-Fi when i was buying it. (I bought it second hand - the seller told me that the problem with the wifi came after an official update to 4.0.4 Android). It was on low price so i starter looking for a solution to the problem. I found so many things and i said to myself that i will buy the phone, fix it using the forum (I really love u guys, on all my 4 Android phones i used ROM from here) and use the phone with no problem. So i bought the phone. Unlocked the bootloader, made it S-ON, installed 4ext recovery and starter trying everything to fix my problem. I will describe my problem now :
I Installed all versions of ICS, JB (4.1, 4.2 and 4.3), all the various kernels - the problem is that, when i turn the WI fi on i use the phone for 1-2-3 minutes (depends on the load and things i do on the phone) and after that it freezes and reboots. This is on everyrom ! Also while the wifi is turned on, if i want to lock the phone and turn-off the screen - the phone reboots again. I tried to use it without SIM card, tried WiFix Manager on all the ROMs and it didn't help. On ICS ROM WiFix manager helped me to get rid of that "Turning WI-fi on....." message and turns the wi-fi on, but the problem with the reboots persists. I asked the developers of the ROM, wrote in the SebastianKernel thread about that (they just didn't wanted to help me after i told them that flashing boot.img and WiFix doesn't work , I am with 4ext recovery with enabled "smart flash" - no problem with the boot.img) Now i am with MIUI ROM + Sebastian r31 with aroma installer kernel- also having the problem. Can anyone help ?
P.S : I took the phone to a service ( to exclude a hardware problem) and they confirmed that the phone has no hardware issue, the problem comes from the software. I attached a last_kmsg file from such kind of a reboot when the wi-fi is on and i try to turn off the screen.
P.S 2 : I Just installed GetRIL apps to get my RIL and the app says "Unknown RIL Found" ot shows my md5sum and the baseband but the RIL is not found ? What does this mean ?
actually try to return the device to stock by using a ruu.exe

This process will start a long journey of going back S-OFF, installing recovery, Unlocking bootloader etc. and will consume a decent amount of time which i am not sure i have. Are u sure that going back to the far past RUU at any point will solve my problem ?

I don't think this will solve ur problem as I also had the same problem if WiFi and BT for 1 year and I was not able to solve it (story is long) I the tried every thing ruu etc nothing worked , but when I disassembled and reassembled my phone from local market it started to work and I was like o.0 only that fixed my fix problem and its working till now

actually if you are on S-OFF you will remain on S-OFF after ruu installation
so need for S-OFF again nor unlocking bootloader again
if you are on S-ON just use the unlock.code bin after ruu installation to unlock the bootloader
no need for extra steps
