Well, Putting myself in your place, the first thing I would try is boot into recovery and wipedata/ factory reset wipe cache.
restart and check again.
if even after that It doesn't work
flash firmware through odin.
although I would not be dealing with this problem directly cause I don't know what exactly is causing this. So the easiest part, flash.

First off THX for your answer...
Billysam I already tried all the above with no luck... also flashed the firmware a couple of time. Last thing i did was to install
CM11. I'm starting to think that i could be an hardware problem....but well it doesn't look like..

I am uploading a whole zip file with everything that would hopefully return the device to factory default. my upload speed is pretty bad and its already an hour maybe another 5-6 hours and it should probably get uploaded. as soon as it get uploaded I will update my post and will share with you all.

Even after completely flashing to default through odin, I would say don't flash anything more. its not the software's fault
There are 2 things now
Your router settings. for this there are many things that could make problems
1. First Check wifi password and be 200 percent sure that you're entering the right password.
2. Check at another place, another wifi. I also had trouble connecting at my friends wifi, it would keep returning with authentication error, but the same device connected to mine router without any error. (I still couldn't confirm why it happened there, I suspect my friend had blocked my device in router settings or gave me the wrong password)
3. Forget network, turn off your device, turn off your router, then turn on your device and your router , open wifi in device enter password again and connect.
4. Make sure bluetooth is off and only wifi is on.
5. Check if your Mac ID is not being blocked by the router (find MAC address in your device settings-wifi-advanced) enter your Router settings >>wifi>>MAC Filter disable the Mac filter.
6. Go into your router and go to advance and under wireless go to wireless card list and click set up access list ...add your device with the mac address.
7. Reset the router.
8. Change the security settings on the router, from WEP to WPA2/WPA or vise versa, change SSID name as well.
can connect through WPA push button?
9. Try changing wifi channel to 5, 6,7,8.
10. there are few app in play store that say they can fix the wifi issues one such app is wifix, try them too.
Even after going through all this it doesn't work, then I feel there is a chance that wifi module is at fault and the part would need to be replaced.
there are whole lot of people on the internet that have faced issues and are facing issues with the wifi be it any device,(same goes for the wife ) Guess it has a mind of it's own too.
Well best of luck.

Ok Thank you very much for your help....
I already went through what u suggest before to post my 1st msg...with no luck.
What i find strange is that i'm not even able to connect to an open network..and
still i believe that it has nothing to do with the hardware....
Auth error on an open network is weird....anyway...
THX
David

I'm facing the same problem ... authentication problem occurred... even on open networks.

hit home, enter, enter, type telnetd, enter, open the telnet app and make sure it says 23, then hit connect. that should fix it.

I could not say for sure because I don't know what process you used, but I Would say you just may need to downlaod the Factory TAR file using oden into your phone. Just make sure you Don't use the PIT file when you do it. Look in the Android Development section for the Tar file and the process of using Oden.
thanks for the reply.. did try loading just the tar files using odin but still no progress... another info, when i turn on the phone the notification drop-down does show the name of the network and says no service.. does that ring a bell ??
Cracked it !!
turns out that the software factory reset isn't all that effective and i tried the the hard reset by entering the code *2767*3855#... it worked like a charm and this time I had the carrier signal !!!!

Good to hear you resolved your issue.
Hi, is having a corrupted IMEI prohibits you from getting network signal? I have weird IMEI characters (not numbers) after unlocking SGS4G and I cannot get any netwrok signal. Hope you can advise me what to do or check. I have exactly the sasme IMEI with this post.

Hi Jager555, do you think it would be wise to try it out. I am not that confident to try it out because we have a different IMEI situation and I am afraid to brick another phone (bricjed captivate before). That is why I am waiting for someone to update the toher thread because that thread has the same IMEI that I have. If I won't be bricking my phone, then I would more than happy to try it out.
did you try disabling wifi calling? Same thing happened to me
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
i cant guarantee that you wont brick your phone. its just something to try. as ricky said, disable the wifi and see if that helps, but if not, your phone doesnt work either way. im not sure if you can flash another rom and see if that helps too.
the thread i posted said "I recently used one of the unlocking tools that are available on the Android market, and one of them screwed up my IMEI so badly (it contained garbage characters, not just numbers)"
i figure thats the problem you have. if you dont want to try it, bump this thread and try to get a response from the smarter people. lol. im still a noob, good luck! i hope you get it fixed soon.

Dial *#*#526#*#* into your phone's keypad. It will show a message "Driver Loading*Successful*. If this is the message that comes up on the screen, than wifi should work now fine.

Should have posted this in Q&A Forums.
But have you tried switching your Router to G standard and connecting?
Also try to connect your Laptop to the Internet and then tether your connection using softwares like connectifypro etc.

my just be a firmware problem, try reloading firmware. There arent many fixs for wifi, but I had a evo 4g that had the same error, reflashing the firmware fixed it.
Change the kernel or clear dalvik cache. Not sure, but maybe it will help

Its a hardware problem then, which means theres no fix other than a trade in. Do you have root? If so, usb tether it with you pc. Should be able to use it then, but you wont be able to use wifi unless its plugged into the usb

Turn off your phone, go to recovery, wipe cache and wipe dalvik-cache.
For third solution by me. I suggest you to use 3GTurboCharger by zeppelinrox here. Choose number 9 a.k.a Wi-Fixer. Its possible repair your wifi

Try changing your wifi password authentication type
First keep it to open(remove the password) and see if your phone connects to the wifi
If it connects,then change the password to WEP or WPA type

Hi Have you tried Setting Static IP
To set a static IP, you have to go to Wi-Fi settings and go to menu > settings. Over there, you can specify your static IP address, default gateway, subnet mask and DNS servers, or change the encryption type.

take usb debugging on and from the computer write adb logcat > namehere.txt and upload the logcat somewhere we might be able to help you
and if its brand new and you got warranty you should really consider to go to the service center and let them repair it for free, if it worked when you got it doesn't matter unless you haven't rooted or anything or installed a new rom (which may lead to warranty loose) but if its completely stock and nothing changed you should be good to go for a repair. also if you installed any official rom make sure driver modules for your phone is there sometimes there's been a miss and someone might not added it.

Thanks for that, because the phone is pretty rare in the UK I ordered mine from a Korean seller on eBay. It took like 2 weeks to arrive including $40 delivery. Now to return it will not only cost about $40 again to send back but it will be a hassle, take ages for replacement or refund so I thought I'd rather pay someone here to help me fix it than send it back.
I'm not too good at technical stuff so can you please tell me how to do the logcat thing?
Thanks,
Dan

SM-G955U1. XAA version. Bootloop problem, any help?

MY BAD, PLEASE MOVE THIS TO THE CORRECT SECTION. I'M REALLY SORRY.
Hello!, my mother bought this phone for her in the US and from day 0 it has been having problems. She couldn't use wifi or bluetooth for example, and sometimes it just kept restarting till it worked again, but without any connectivity functions, except mobile data.
I tried to fix this updating the phone using Samsung Smart Switch to the last build (AQL1) but now the phone is stuck on the boot screen no matter what I do.
Tried flashing with Odin, it worked, but the phone is still on boot loop. I read somewhere in this forum that you can install an older version of the bootloader to take the phone out of this hell and I did it, using the build AQK2 bootloader but no luck, same problem.
Also, the phone doesn't have USB debugging enable nor OEM unlock either. I can access both recovery and download mode though.
At this point I'm out of ideas, can someone help me with this one?
Thanks in advanced.

No I haven't, I will give a try soon through web chat.
I mean, this shouldn't be happening, it's a brand new phone, all over the internet are people with the same problems as me and looks like so far there is no solution.
Maybe it's a faulty phone/hardware? My knowledge is not enough in this matter.
See you!,

I need a couple things from you
1. What model does it say on the back of the phone i understand you posted it in the header but please for safety sake .
2. Go into download mode for me so i can see what carrier it lists

Thanks for answering!, here it goes:
1. It says SM-G955U1
2. Carrier: XAA
3. Done, still the same.
An update from my last post:
After a few bootloops the FRP screen showed up, as the phone can't use wifi yet I managed to access using mobile data and enabled the USB debugging, but after trying to enable wifi the phone froze and went on bootloop again, so still the same but with the USB debugging enabled. I'm currently on the build AQK2.
Thanks again, and I hope we can fix this.
Update 2:
I cleared the cache, after a few bootloops the phone actually boots (gets to the lock screen), and it restarts again while the message "Android is starting" is loading, so now it's a different type of bootloop I guess. It does the same even in safe mode.
I will turn it off for now.

Sadly it didn't work. The phone is still loading till "android is starting" sign and then restarting again.
I will write you so you can help me through pm, could this be a faulty hardware?
I'd like to know the other solution too.
I will tell you all what todo as a last resort.
IF YOU CHOOSE TO DO THIS I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY IF YOUR DEVICE STOPS WORKING OR DOES NOT TURN ON!!!
Follow all previously said steps i outlined but when you go into the options tab select nand erase all also then flash device.

@fefin -Sorry to hear that you're having issues - But I'd like to clear one thing up - Your comment that this is an issue "all over the internet" sim isn't true... I don't know how many Millions of S8 / S8+ have been sold - But your post is the first that I've ever heard of anything like this... I concur with the recommendation that you call or Chat with Samsung Technical Support - Preferably before you find the phone completely unable to Boot into Download Mode - Get Samsung to help you - or you may risk voiding the warranty if Samsung determines that you are ultimately responsible for the state of the phone ??

Thanks for answering!, sorry for my late response.
Well, if you check samsung's official forum there are a few threads with 15+ pages of people complaining about wifi issues (https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/forums/v3_1/forumtopicpage/board-id/GS8QA/thread-id/862/page/1 and https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/forums/v3_1/forumtopicpage/board-id/GS8QA/thread-id/30601/page/1) about bootloop problems, (https://us.community.samsung.com/t5...id/GS8QA/thread-id/3920/highlight/true/page/1) also there is a post on another webpage talking about bootloops on this model and how to fix them (https://thedroidguy.com/2017/12/sol...p-issue-s8-turns-screen-remains-black-1079013).
I know it's not representative, as you said, millions of phones has been sold, but what I meant when I said "all over the internet" is that you can easily find people with this same problem. This shouldn't be happening, not on any phone even less on such an expensive phone.
I think the phone is officially dead, I took it to a well known local technician and even him couldn't fix it. My nearest official samsung service is 1600km away. On the other hand, my aunty got for herself an S8 and it's working perfect, so it's just bad luck for my mom I guess.
The phone had issues since she bought it (wifi and bluetooth didn't worked at all, but she is not really a tech person so she thought it was fine), the phone was working with some bootloops from time to time and after a while it fell from and got a little crack on the top but it didn't change the behavior of the phone, it was still ****ed up. That's the thing, because of the crack I'm pretty sure they won't take it back or even try to fix it (for free at least), they will say the problem is because of the fall. I'd been reading a lot about this and seems that I'm pretty screwed D:
I will sell the phone for parts. At least I will recover 60% of the initial investment.

If you have some 'proof' the problem existed, before the crack, and can prove when the crack occurred, or reasonable determinate approximation, small claims court will vindicate you, and Samsung will have to pay.
Sad to say would take a little time of yours to get them there, but it is an easy process, and with reasonable ability to determine/evidence those two things, a sure win.
But still a PITA.

Question WiFi and Hotspot services stopped working after the latest update on my ROG 5.

Wifi and hotspot services stopped working after the latest update of ASUS ROG 5. As soon as I tap on wifi to toggle it on it switches back to off. Please help. I am not in my home country to avail warranty. The Wifi MAC address is unavailable. Please refer to all the screenshots and let me know if any further details are required.
You forgot to add screenshots.
Anyways, just give it a factory wipe and see if that fixes things?

Uploaded some screenshots and a video for your reference. I have restored the factory setting, but it was not helpful.

this might be a weird solution but why not give it a try, if you are rooted. Use this app and get yourself a new mac address. The wifi fails to start due to a missing mac address.
Change My MAC - Spoof Wifi MAC - Apps on Google Play
[Require ROOT] This application allow you to change the MAC address of Wi-Fi

Asus told me that I need to send the phone to the service center to change the motherboard. Many have faced this problem and get it solved by changing the motherboard from the official Asus service center. It is stock without root as it is under warranty period. I need some suggestions regarding this. First, should I try to send my phone to the home country to get it fixed or should I root it and install a custom ROM. And if I apply a custom ROM, will my problem get solved?
Seems like either your baseband dropped or your efs got lost somehow... You might want to check to see if you still have imei

If they are willing to take it in and fix it for you then go for it, its much easier if you don't know your way around android yet.
If you feel like experimenting then sure why not? Flash a custom Rom and see if that helps since you have IMEI intact but make sure to take a backup of it.
