[Q] Wifi Error

Sorry if this has already been posted.
My phone is rooted on stock rom.
It started freezing up and wouldnt send text messages. GO sms locked me out. I had to take the battery out and restart several times. Now i cant connect to any wifi. In wifi settings it just says error. Any ideas what could be wrong?

your best bet is probably to flash back to stock OS...i dunno if there is a one click for inspire
or you could flash a rom :]...this was probably a weird glitch that would go away with a simple full flash

Why not start with doing a factory reset?

I think he already did that, but if that doesn't work, try restoring your entire phone to stock...idk if there is a one click Odin for inspire like there is for Galaxy S models

Thats what I was thinking about doing. Will try that this weekend when I have time. Thanks!

There's a guide stickied to this section that believe has the link to the RUU, which is what you might try, though I think going the RUU route will unroot you.

Full wipe reflash should do it.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA App

yep I would try wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe delvik cache and a clean install of the rom

Flashed CoreDroid didnt fix the problem

would flashing a new radio fix the problem?

Did you have any luck with this? Im having the same issue and debating whether or not I should flash back to stock to see if this resolves the issue. I have flashed countless ROMs since root with no luck.

My phone is doing the same thing. Not sure when it started doing it since I don't use wifi often. I wanted to check for updates and the HTC one requires WIFI be on, thats how I found out.
My phone is completely stock, with only Apps installed. Factory reset made it say something about connecting for 10 seconds or so before saying error, and now once again it just says error every time i try to enable it.

[Resolved] [Q] I've made a mess of my Nexus S...

Hey guys,
This is my very first post, just to let you all know, so please have some patience! Thanks!
Anyway, so I have a Nexus S 3G (Canada) and I have rooted it, unrooted it, installed roms and everything. I works...for the most part. It's giving me all sorts of different little errors and what not. So I was wondering, how can I COMPLETLY start ALL OVER, as in, factory new, like when you buy a new phone (without the carrier stuff). I wanted to start fresh, fresh out-of-the-oven kind of start, do you understand what I mean? FACTORY FRESH. Thank you all so much in advance!

well download your phone's stock rom and of course unroot it.Regarding the stock bloatware you can modify the custom rom by going in system/app and deleting the apps you dont want to be installed

Thanks for the reply, I've already done that, and I'm still getting errors and other weird things, like not going out of airplane mode, failing to download the OTA 2.3.6 Update (I'm on stock 2.3.1 unrooted, I think), and I don't know if this is normal, but ClockworkMod Recovery is still there. Am I still rooted or something? Plus, when I try to flash a restore, from let's say Gingerbread 2.3.6 Stock, it says MD5 mismatch! How about if it's an ICS AOSP Build, it gives me the normal white Google logo like normal, but then just stays stuck there.
Is the anyway to erase EVERYTHING and start over like NOTHING was ever done to the device? Like when they are first distributing the the device and no one has ever touched it? Is there anyway to do just that?

There is a difference between being "rooted" and using a rooted ROM. You could be using a non-rooted ROM, and your phone can still be "rooted". The first step in rooting a phone is changing SECURITY-ON to SECURITY-OFF. If you REALLY want to go back to when you first got the device, you will need to find a way to turn SECURITY from OFF to ON. When it is off, you are able to access the bootloader, in turn allowing you to install a recovery to install a ROM with rooted permissions. I think the best way to go back to stock would be for you to first download the latest OTA update for your device, do a FULL WIPE of everything on your phone thru recovery (data, system, cache, dalvik cache). Then installing the latest OTA. I do not think however, that this is how you turn your device S-ON.
I hope I've been of some help.

Thanks for your excellent reply, but I have also already done that, EXACTLY that, multiple times too. Dalvik, battery stats, factory reset/delete all user data, wipe cache partition and fix permissions. What else is there left to do?

Thank you all so very much!!!!
I have fixed my Nexus S!!!

What are your flashing procedures? Are you wiping EVERYTHING multiple times and/or performing superwipe multiple times,depending on which recovery you are using?

im fairly certain im wiping everything multiple times.
im using this recovery
recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-speedy
So maybe im flashing wrong but i rooted the phone. downgraded to 2.2 to s-off. then flashed the radio, wipe wipe wipe. flash rom.
also tried wipe wipe wipe. flashed the radio then flashed the rom.

Hm, did you check the md5sum on the radio you flashed?

i did. when i upped the radio. i tried under 2.2 and my data was working fine. so i tried that then flashed the new rom then i lose data.

This happened to me when I switched my account to an Epic 4G I was working on; when I switched it back to the Evo Shift, I couldn't get data.
I can't say this will or won't help you, or that it's even the right way to go about things. I activated another phone we had lying around, through sprint.com. And then I reactivated the shift again and went through all the steps, put the ##code in etc., and when it rebooted, it was working. And it will still have whatever ROM you installed on it (duh). Sounds like a mess but it worked for me.
I think ## 786 # does a hard reset if I'm not mistaken. You could also try that first to avoid the hassle of what I did.

I was trying to ask for specifics of your wiping process, sorry. Now that you mention which recovery, make sure you go into the mounts & storage menu and 'format' pretty much everything but 'sdcard' multiple times each. I know alot of people take the term 'wipe' and assume we mean just the 'wipe data/factory reset' and 'wipe cache' options that are displayed on the main menu, just want to make sure.
If you are already doing that then disregard.

oh yeah. anything that said wipe. i wiped. except the sd.

I had am issue like this when I switched ROMs from Sense to AOSP at one point. Ended up having to nandroid back to Sense and update PRL and profile. Have you tried going back to a Sense ROM, updating those then reflashing the CM10 ROM?

Thank you everyone for your help

New sim?

When using wifi my Internet speed is great but if I use the Verizon network my phone stumbles around and is really slow to download Web pages or any data. Could a new sim card possibly fix this issue? S - offed, unlocked and rooted with stock recovery. Thanks.

No. A factory reset using stock recovery on a stock Rom could though.

Thanks for the feedback. A factory reset is a nightmare for me, I have a ton of work things on my phone that took forever to be able to not only install but also get to operate properly. Any other suggestion short of a factory wipe?

Nope. Specifically, stock recovery resets certain radio settings that can cause radio problems.

There's no way to just reset the radio? Not meaning to be a pain but damn it's a pain in the butt to redo everything after a factory reset.

That's correct. You have the HTC backup app? That does apps/texts/email accounts/desktop layout and more.

Help: I can't get both 4G and cell service.

If this is a redundant post then I apologize, but I'm having a hard time finding a solution. The short version is that after going from CM to stock rom (rooted) I've lost 4G. I can get it back by switching from global to LTE only, but then I lose cell signal. I've tried many different roms, stock recovery, RUU followed by stock recovery and factory reset and nothing has worked so far. Does anyone have a suggestion? I'll survive with 3G, but I'd rather get what I'm paying for if possible. Again, I apologize if this has already been answered. If so, just link it.

You mentioned stock recovery and you mentioned factory reset but have you specifically done a factory reset WITH stock recovery? That's the most common solution for this problem.

I have tried that. Here's basically what I've done so far.
1) RUU with this. Only 3G at first.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...zip-ruu-m8vzw-5-0-1-s-off-onlynewest-t3047103
2) Go into recovery, factory reset. Only 3G again.
3) Go into bootloader, fastory reset. Only 3G again.
4) Flash another 5.0.1 'stock recovery' from a different source.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2723159
5) Again factory reset from stock recovery. Only 3G.
Is that what you mean? Also, I didn't mention before but my phone is S-OFF.
