Q&A on wifi "error" - already solved - HTC Inspire 4G

I'd like to get the feedback from XDA masters on this issue I had.
Here's the steps that led to the problem.
Flashed ROM(Dr No V2), Decide i didn't like it after a day, the wifi was orking.
Entered 4ext recovery did a full wipe.
Used restore to flash my previous fully functioning ROM (EnergyROM-RCMIX)
Rebooted.
After reboot received the message in settings>...>Wifi "error"
I went through a bunch of steps, lots of reboots.
Try restore of an earlier backup - no fix
Reflashed from Zip the original RCMIX ROM, and fastboot flashed boot.img - no fix
Went into recovery and factory reset only. - no fix
Restored the last working ROM (RCMIX) and just fastboot reflashed boot.img
Still not fixed
More reading tried rename of the wpa_supplicant file. nope
One more fastboot flash of boot.img --
Then... turned on "Airplane Mode" for a few minutes. After turning it off Wi-fi "error" was gone and was able to turn it on.
The error changed to "unable to scan for networks"
Rebooted
Went back in and renamed wpa_supplicant.conf 1 more time.
reboot
When I enable wifi this time it scanned and connected.
I left some steps out, but they were just repeats of the ones I listed.
My question after all that is what went wrong?
Lots of threads about the problem but solutions seem to vary.
Is there something in there that I did incorrectly?
Aren't the drivers for the hardware located in the boot.img (as it contains kernel)?
Is there a better way to do this?
trying to get better at this; Insights, advice, comments appreciated.
I do need to get familiar with logcat.

Clean flash a stock-ish ROM like Android Revolution HD. Is the problem still there?

Wifi seems to be stable now. Running the restored RCmix. Rebooted a couple times and no issues. I'm interested in gaining some insight into the source and solution of the problem. My next step was to run a stock RUU I have, but your suggesting something close to stock might have worked?
Why didn't a re-flash of the previously functioning ROM (RCmix, zip on sdcard & fastboot boot.img) fix the issue? I did full wipes each and every time. Even full wipes before doing Restores from recovery. Restore should be a straight forward process from recovery, right?
The problem started right after a restore, and I'm not sure what step it was that fixed it. The last thing was renaming the wpa_supplicant.conf file. I left out the part where my restored ROM got stuck in the boot animation. There was something going on with the boot loader. Re-flashing boot.img fixed it.
But the wifi...? Any thoughts.
I'm a little hesitant to flash another ROM for fear of losing wifi again. I use it a lot.

I already answered you...and also, why are you renaming wpa_supplicant.conf? Are you making any other changes?

Thanks, but your first comment offered a possible solution, and solutions are important, but as indicated in the title it had been solved. There aren't any comments on the questions I specifically asked. At the least, I was hoping that someone with greater experience could provide insight into the possible causes of loss of wifi (steps, incompatibility of ROM, freak thing, etc.) so I can avoid it in the future.
The renaming of wpa_supplicant.conf came from threads in the XDA forums where similar wifi problems had been encountered. It was a solution with zero risk.

If I made any other changes I would mention it. I can see that you may be the only one monitoring this forum, which is unfortunate. You exhibit a lot of patience, but unlike some of the questions posted, I do the research and read directions carefully. The reason I ask questions is to learn, not to have my hand held. And someone posting "ddpo" is a waist of bandwidth. If no one has any comments to my questions, we'll leave it at that.

Because stock is most stable, flashing a stock-ish ROM will reveal whether the problem is a hardware one or a software one. If the problem still exists on stock, your hardware is probably messed up. If the problem doesn't exist on stock, something is up with your ROM. That is why flashing stock is still relevant: for the first step in diagnosis. Other than that, you can look into getting S-Off and flashing an updated radio, but that's up to you.
And I already reported the "ddpo."

[Q] 4 separate ROMS. Gets stuck at Turning wi-fi on, nothing else

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.

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.

Help!

After deleting everything off my microsd card my status bar is gone and the background is black. How can I fix this?
What ROM are you running?
ARHD 6.5.4
Common problem, download and flash the new LeeDroid Tweaks and it will be fixed. I had to do it myself.
will report back
Is it this one? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501952
Yup, 3.0. Works great.
While I am rebooting may I ask how will flashing this fix my problem?
It's explained in the ARHD thread, many user's been experiencing it, I didn't read exactly how but it has something to do with some system file I assume.
Everything is back! But the problem that started this whole fiasco still persists. My wifi is stuck on 'Turnin Wi-fi on' or it says error
Odd. Trying going back into recovery and fix permissions.
When I was on ARHD 6.5.0 everything was fine and then it started happening so I decided to try Ords sense 4.0 rom but the problem was still there so I flashed 6.5.4 and its still here.
Hmm I'm not sure what could be the problem. Fixing permission's did not work?
Sorry I am not familiar with fixing permissions.
It's simple. Just boot in recovery, select Tools and you should see the option to Fix Permissions, click that and let it do its thing, usually takes a couple minutes, then reboot.
Didn't work ):
Weird. Are you running the recommended firmware and radio for the ROM?
Yes I am. I checked the thread and it seems people have been having wifi bugs. It seems there is a new firmware but I am confused with all the numbers. I do have 3.32.401.5. Gonna be flashing new one!
Yeah I'd do the same. Or reflashing the same firmware, maybe that will solve the problem. Good luck!

[Q] Bizarre Sound Issue with New Phone??

Hi all,
I've just bought a new SII Skyrocket to replace my Motorola Bravo -- the bravo was terrible purchase and though the Skyrocket is a two year-old phone I consider this a big step up.
I bought the phone on eBay and it was advertised as new. It arrived in its original packaging with the security seal intact, so I have no reason to doubt this. The phone is running ICS (4.0.4 build IMM76D.UFCLF6).
The phone arrived yesterday and I really like it, but I've encountered a weird issue. If I reboot the phone then it is no longer able to make any sound. Any action that requires sound -- incoming calls, outgoing calls, choosing a ringtone, playing music, taking a picture -- causes the phone to freeze for a minute or more and then become very slow. Rebooting again makes no difference. The only solution I've found is to reboot into recovery and factory reset, though this may only work after several tries.
- Has anyone heard of this issue before?
- Is it likely to be fixed by upgrading to Jelly Bean (I'll install a custom ROM if I can be sure that the phone is working properly) or is this more likely a hardware issue?
Apologies if this question has been answered before. I've searched the forums here and elsewhere, but I haven't found any mentions of similar issues.
Thanks for your help!
Try flashing a stock UCMC1 ROM and doing a factory reset after your flash finished successfully and Odin rebooted your phone.
3 things you need:
1- skyrocket windows drivers from Samsung website
2-Odin
3-stock ucmc1 tar ball.

You don't need to install a custom rom. Try updating to official jellybean with kies, if that doesn't work then try C64's advice above with either UCMC1 or UXUMA7 (uxuma7 is less bloated).
The issue you're having is odd and I haven't encountered it before..

Thanks for the suggestions, C64 and lingowistico. Upgrading to JB was going to be my next move, but I wanted to know if anybody had seen this behavior first. I don't want to mess with the phone too much in case the seller will take it back (I may be on a loser there). I'll try the official upgrade and let you know.
Custom ROM not necessary -- true, but I've been running CM on my bravo for a couple of years and can't go back to a stock ROM. I'll try the de-bloated version of the official JB release, but I'd like something I can have more control over.

when phone is doing odd things the best way to ts is a complete wipe, formatting/removing sdcards then returning to stock w/odin, but you could try the debloated rom 1st just to test it out, if its resolved then its prob not hw related, just make a backup of ur current rom if planning on returning it but since you install an official stock it should also be returnable

Thanks Vincom. I don't have access to a Windows machine at the moment so haven't been able to try the upgrade.
One question -- how is it possible to make a backup of the current ROM without first rooting and installing a custom recovery? I suppose that I could install the custom ROM and create a nandroid backup. Then if I needed to restore I could restore the nandroid and reinstall the stock recovery. Is there an easier way?
Apologies, I just saw that you have information on reinstalling the stock recovery on your Newb Guide.
BTW, I want to say thanks for your work on the Newb Guide. One of the things that sold me on this phone was the support that it has here. Amazing to have all of the information on installing the custom recovery, rooting, etc. all in one place.

I believe I had this kinda issue once before, it was when I flashed CM10 or something. No incoming sound, sound did not work whatsoever, but installed a different kernel solved the issue, or flashing a new different rom.

UPDATE:
So, I managed to upgrade to the official JB 4.1.2 this evening. Had to do it twice.
First time the boot got stuck at the AT&T logo and PC wouldn't detect the device. I followed the directions in another post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34682377&postcount=9 to repeat the upgrade and the same thing happened.
On a whim I decided to try rebooting a few times to see what would happen -- and it worked! Sort of...
I'm repeatedly rebooting the phone and sometimes it will start without problem. However, most of the time it gets stuck when the AT&T logo appears exactly where it should play the start up sound, except it freezes and the sound never plays.
I'm guessing that wiping the data before had nothing to do with fixing the problem and I was simply getting lucky on reboot.
I realize that this is a hard question without having the phone in hand -- but does this sound like a hardware issue?
Thanks again to everyone for their help.
Boot into recovery and factory reset from there. That should clear up the boot loop issue.

MK802IV Problems

I've searched, read, downloaded a lot of programs but I have been unable to fix a stupid mistake I made earlier which was flashing the wrong firmware on my MK802iv. As a result the WiFI and Bluetooth switches off immediately after switching on regardless of what ROM I install. I've tried to flash stock and other ROM's but the same problem with WiFi and Bluetooth remain.
I can not get RKAndroidTool to run and I can not set up a custom recovery. I'm really struggling to find a way to flash a custom kernel but I don't think that will fix the problem. I suspect that if I could get into a custom recovery and Fix Permission this could alleviate the issue. I'm running out of ideas and can not find a solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

The MK802IV changed wifi chips mid-production. If you go to the official RKM site to their download page check your serial number with the stock ROMs to make sure you get the right one.

Need help with random reboots (kmsg included)

Hello All,
I've been getting random reboots on my phone and just went ahead to take the kmsg. I'm not really sure how to go from here so any help would be great. The Kmsg is attached (slightly lengthy). Thanks!
Yeah mine has exactly the same problem. I can tell you that another kernel doesn't work. I've tried both the AK and the franco kernel. None seem sto change anything.
Apart from that - sometimes my phone is unable to enable WiFi or mobile data after crashing, and it won't work until I reboot it again. Maybe I should try another radio - are there updated versions out there?
I'll keep you updated if anything happens. Until then - Who can help out?
Thanks for responding! I'm not sure if I should start flashing different modems but I'd like to wait until someone with more experience on this places some input. I don't know if this is a hardware issue or a software one.
Update: The modem/radio of the Oppo Find 7 possibly did the trick. Haven't had any reboots since a couple of hours.
Maybe it works for you.

Edit: The reboots are back - didn't fix
xbenbox your kmsg actually points to the modem... Try reflashing it using one from the following thread and see if you have any luck.

What ROM are you using? Yeah it points to the modem but your phone is having a kernel panic.
Have you tried other ROMs? Have you verified that the modem is the correct MD5 Hash?

Thanks for the help guys. I was going to flash the modems but wanted to make sure that it would be okay before I did so. To be honest I'm not sure if it's the correct md5 hash. This phone shipped to me with stock 33R and I ended up putting 25R on it. I didn't do any changes to the modem after that. I haven't tried other roms yet since I'm hoping to stay with cm. Also I thought that other roms tend to use the roms from cm as well.
I flashed the 33r modem and it still seems to be restarting every once in a while. The kmsg read exactly the same as the one I posted before. Any chance that it's not the modem?

I am having SAME situation. I have this phone for a week, and sod-s every day. Two days ago phone restarts and now in the loop of logo 1+. Same error, MODEM time out.
Tried ROMS: Mahdi ,CM11
Kernels: Franco r18, r19, stock from both..
Can not get out of the loop.. I have wiped all partitions, formated all of them, clean flash of ever rom... nothing.
And yes, tried all modems...
Updated to 33R with the same rebooting issues although the kmsg now reads differently. Dalvik and Cache were wiped as well and same issue still occurs.
Still need help - bumping with my newest kmsg.
I doubt anyone on XDA has the solution to this problem. I would suggest for all others to go to Jira Cyanogenmod under the issue labeled Bacon-213 for progress checks and uploading last_ksmgs. This may be a hardware issue as not a lot of people are reporting having this issue.
