Wifi problems after installing new rom. - General Questions and Answers

I installed a newer version of Ultimate HD for the Sony Xperia Arc/s, Link here.
And after that my Wifi didn't work anymore, so I searched around for hours and eventually updated my kernel which was Lupus v10, and now is v16 link
It says in the thread "Wifi is build in NO NEED for WIFI MODULES.ZIP" So I flashed that and then installed Ultimate HD again and still have no wifi now, it just keeps saying Connecting..
I would be very grateful if one of you guys can help me out!, thanks.

That seems like something to do with some bug in ROM...
Q 4: My WiFi doesn't work. What can I do?
A: Flash WiFi Modules for your Kernel. If you are on stock kernel, reflash stock WiFi Modules. If you use Lupus, reflash the kernel and make sure you have a few mb left on the /system partition. If that, doesn't work, reflash the ROM and Check MD5 Sums.

Reflash back the stock ROM and see if WiFi works.. if it works, you better flash some other custom rom rather than This,....

[Q] SE Xperia X10 DooMKernel WiFi Error

Dear XDA-Devs and Community,
I've recently installed DooMKernel v06 (Unlocked BL),but there are still WiFi-Errors.
In detailes,I unlocked my bootloader (downloaded S1Tool to ensure it.)Then,I flashed DooMKernel v06 Max Overclocked [Exact file name: X10_2.3.3_DooMKernel-v06-BootManager-v2.0.ftf] version (FOR STOCK ROMs) ,everything worked perfectly,except the WiFi.
I installed the v06 wifi modules right below the ftf. (FOR STOCK ROMs TOO) file,through xrecovery.[Exact file name: x10_gb_DooMKernel-v06_wifi.zip]
It didn't work,so I used Module Loader.It didn't work again.I re-flashed the DooMKernel ftf file and then the wifi modules again.Still,nothing.
These are the phone info:
Version: 2.3.3
Baseband 2.1.71
Kernel: [email protected]
3.0.1.G.0.75 (Isn't that the stock one?)
So here's the basic Q:
1)According to my phone info,am I using wrong Kernel and modules?
2)Can't those modules be installed through xrecovery?Only via CWM recovery?If yes,could somebody provide me with info on how to SAFELY uninstall xrecovery and then install CWM Recovery?
3)Is the problem something else that I've missed?What am I doing wrong?
Thank you very much in advance.
I'm using medium overclock kernel and wifi modules which works perfectly for me :/
You sure you flashed the right wifi modules (ie, the ones for the max overclock) ?
In any case, try the medium overclock kernel and modules and see if it works, the max one is known to cause some problems
Sent from my GT-P7510 using XDA Premium HD app
Well I've installed the modules right below the kernel I installed..And everything else seems to work fine.Except the WiFi..So I don't think I've installed wrong kernel.
Uh,if there's no other solution,I'll flash medium overclock and its modules..
Well if you installed all the right things, I'd say the max overclock kernel has issues with your device
Now I don't have that much of knowledge on that yet but I'd say give a shot to the medium one and see if it works
Sent from my GT-P7510 using XDA Premium HD app
I've flashed Medium OverClocked version,the wifi modules right below,but still nothing...
What could the problem be?..Am I missing a step or something?
EDIT: PROBLEM SOLVED.I HAD TO WIPE THE DALVIK CACHE AGAIN.THEN I REFLASH KERNEL AND MODULES AND IT'S WORKING PEFECT.
Thank you.
same x1- wifi problem after Kernel flash, not solved, please help
Dear all,
I have the same Wifi error issue, after installing new Kernel and Wifi:
X10_2.3.3_DooMKernel-v06-1113-BootManager-v2.0.ftf
x10_gb_DooMKernel-v06-1113_wifi.zip
Have tried everything I could find, e.g. clearing cache, Dalvik cache, reinstalling, rebooting etc.
All works well but the Wifi does not. I had the same problem when installing the Feralab Kernel.
Even installing the stock Wifi (apparently) modules from another threat did not work:
x10_gb_stock_wifi_modules.zip
Before I did all this, I rooted the X10 successfully, installed an unlocked bootloader with flashtool and everything went swimmingly well; once I removed all the bloatware, it was really fast. I am running the stock rom still. Should have left the Kernel alone!
Any suggestions or leads to pertinent threads would be much appreciated, please help.
Cheers,
Dirk

[Q]

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)

[Q] - Ruined for all other ROMs?

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...

So, you've successfully installed Real ICS r6. Wifi will not work, you can try Kernel Panic and then flash r6. Do remember, it has lot other bminor bugs like this. Go for r5.2 for stable version, or try Hasa's MIUI ROM. Its up to you.
Hit thanks if I helped.!

There are couple of fixes, I did try them as I had extended stock kernel, it didn't work. You can try some of the wifi fix mentioned in the r6 thread.

Hi John,
I saw you post in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1707876&page=244
I am also facing the same issue when i installed the ICSr6. Use the wave like lock screen day before yesterday i installed ICSr6 in my phone over all i very much happy to the new look.
But there is one issue i am facing that means while playing music in walkman if we lock or unlock the scree there some jerking occurs in that. this is the only one issue am facing.
Wifi will work you plz reboot your phone twice after installing it. It will work.
I think you dont get that Blue Hexagon background. While installing you check that STOCK theam option thats why you dont get that.
If you want that Blue hexagon background try reinstalling the ROM and do any thing in the option that STOCK Theam option. After installing ROM Then you get that blue Hexagon Bacground in your Phone.

[Q] Wifi not working. Not a noob

Hi,
FIrstly I'd like to say I'm not noob. So please dont treat me like one and tell me to search the forum. I've already did it many times.
Secondly, I've tried MANY Roms. Like a lot. But all I want is something very stable. So I decided to use Stock.
I've tried these ROMs and some more I cant remember:
CM11
CM12
Honami
DextroDroid (wifi worked very well here.. just hated the nav bar and icon size. Coudn't live with it hahaha)
Clean 'n' Tweaked
Matrix
LiquidSmooth
Carbon
PAC-Man
And ALL Stock versions
Sometimes the wifi works after I reflash stock. But then I decide to do something else and the phone gets int oa bootloop and I have to reflash. Then the wifi is messed up again =(
Now I'm testing Kernels.
ThunderZap 4.1 and Extended Stock v6 are the best bets.
I would like to know if you guys have been through this too.
How to make the wifi work again and avoid bootloops?
I'm almost buying a new phone. I'm spending too many hours trying to fix Xperia L.
Ok, now the wifi doesn't work at all.
I've reflashed the stock roms in this order:
15.0.A.2.17
15.3.A.0.26
15.3.A.1.14
Wifi didn't work in any of them.
Flashed Extended Stock Kernel v6. Still no wifi.
Don't know what to do =(
Tried DextroDroid, now.
Didn't work either.
Don't know what to do anymore =(

Hi,
First flash stock ftf 15.3.A.1.14 stock firmware.
After that flash latest Thunderzap kernel and then flash LS milestone.
I never faced wifi issue with LS or CM11.
But only flash CM11 or LS on 1.14 fw not previous versions.

By latest TZ you mean 4.10 or 4.1 for JB ?
Tried with TZ 4.10
Didn't work..
I'm lost
Could make it work skipping the TZ step!
It was working perfectly!!
But then the phone suddenly rebooted and the wifi is not working anymore.
Bluetooth not working either.
I guess it's not a modules problem. Unless there are more people with the same problem.
Where can I find the wifi files in the internal memory? Can they be read ? I'll try changing them manually.
I mean... The same problem happens in every ROM.
Possibly with every Kernel.. Not sure.
What to do now?
Now I've tested:
ThunderZap 4.10
Phantom v17 for KK
None fixed the wifi =/
And yes.. I've wiped cache and Dalvik cache before flashing them.
Holy!!
I think it's hardware problem!!
I'll update you guys later.
Edit:
SOLVED
The hardware was a bit loose. I dissabled it, cleaned and put the screws very very tight.
Everything working =)
