Hello! My WiFi recently stopped working. I cannot turn WiFi on, well I can turn it on but then it turns off after about 2 seconds. Have tried rebooting several times. It has worked perfectly before, and I have not done anything special to the phone. I am running the latest official stock ROM, rooted.
Should I reflash the ROM?
Any advice welcome!

Is this the right place to post this?
Inspire 4G Rooted, S-OFF, Clockworked with Bubby's One Click, and attempted to flash CM7.
I can make it past the set up, all the way into the phone. Shortly after, it will just kind of randomly freeze up and go through the boot animation again and then take me to a lock screen. I can unlock it and go back into the phone, but it will almost immediately freeze and go back to the boot animation again.
Flashed 3 times, once on RC2 and twice on RC3, using ROM Manager 3.0.1.0, Clockwork 3.0.0.6, wiping data and cache each time.
Please help!
Did this happen when you were turning on Wifi?
Now that I think about it, the most recent flash I did, yes it did occur when I turned on Wifi...but I am not sure about the other times.
What would wifi have to do with it?

Its a known niggle with almost every CM build. It doesn't like wifi on the first boot. Let it come to the launcher screen and then reboot the phone. Things should go smoothly after that.
same thing happened to me. I just rebooted it a few times and problem solved. Had no idea that wifi was the problem though.
Awesome! Flashing now...
This works!!
Thanks again guys...

Details...
What ROM?
What Kernel?
What Modem??
There is not enough information. Exactly what rom were you flashing? Big chance the it's the kernel. It was probably flashed improperly or an incorrect kernel.

Okaaaay... I am going to share my story because it ended up fixing my WiFi issue and I have read some similar issues. So after being rooted on 4.2 I broke it with the OTA 4.3 I wanted to check it out. I then used chainfire to root again. I blacked out hangouts, I installed 4.4 launcher, and xposed framework with 3 modules. I noticed that when I toggled my WiFi on it would hang, it would get stuck on "turning on...:" sometimes it would turn on, and I would enter my password, then it would hang right after I pressed connect then eventually it connected. If I restarted my phone, turned off the WiFi or left the area.. I would go through the same issues. When I pressed the toggle it would not show up as green to display on or grey to display off. It was a dark green trying to turn on.
My recovery is TWRP. This is what I did to try and solve it. I took off all the xposed modules. Nothing (as suspected), I did a factory reset.. it did not work. I tried *#0011# and pressed the menu button and selected wifi and turned off wifi power save. That did nothing.
I finally made the decision to break root put everything back to stock in case I need to take it back. Instead of Odin I thought I would give Kies 3 a try. I downloaded Kies 3, plugged in my phone and selected Tools>Firmware upgrade and initialization. It went through its motion.. I noticed that KNOX went back to 0x1 it booted up. Wifi worked.. perfectly! I also had all my apps still installed and didn't lose texting or have to put in my accounts again.
I am going to re root it and see if it recreates the problem.. Hopefully not. I'll advise.
**Update** Re-rooted..using chainfire's method WiFi works great..
Hi, old thread but i have the very same problem.
I am downloadin' Kies 3 now ti try.

do you solve the wifi problem with this? i have the wifi problem...
Twice in the past week I got my phone out and it was off and unresponsive. I had to do soft boot with power volume down to get the phone working. This is something that I have not experienced with other android phones. I am on Verizon with stock Galaxy S6 running 5.0.2.
Is this a defective phone or some application causing problems. What steps can I take to troubleshoot the problem? Who would I turn to for help?
Having my phone randomly stop working is unacceptable as this is my primary line. I can't afford to miss calls. I need to get this fixed.
Go to Settings-About Device-Software Update. Update the software of your S6.
Tried that, my software is up to date according to settings update.
I have your problem too, you should try to install FXR Wifi Fix. It solved random reboots for me, now my phone just reboot when I download something from Play Store (maybe RAM issue).
random rebbots too
i have random rebbots to, during the day maybe 20 times
its freeze nonstop

tried everything but no luck
I found a "solution", reset your phone and don't configure wifi. If you never turn on wifi your random reboots will stop.

i am having this same issue too, waiting on a replacement at the moment. hope this one works better
The same here. I own a german (Vodafone) S6 (non Edge; stock 5.0.2; no root) 128GB und sometimes the phone will not respond to any button when I grap it out of my pocket.
The screen keeps black and only Power + Vol Down helps...
Disabling WiFi is no solution for me. Guys, it's a Smartphone ...
Will try the above mentioned Wifi fix. Thanks!

Been having this issue but a newer update came out and haven't noticed so far... AOE3..... Most the custom roms have previous firmware and I was experiencing soft reboots until yesterday!
Rooted SM-G920I
Latest AOE3 firmware

not really. in stock recovery (or twrp) menu good all. but is install custom (or aroma installer) freeze sometimes when you select different items during installation
Another problem emerged. even when the phone is turned off and connect it to charge. he even turned off and then restarted.
I recently bought a note 4 DE from ebay and it came loaded with jsmine rom. I was excited none the least but i noticed the phone would get really hot after a time and decided to switch to cyanogem 13.0. The first thing i noticed wad wifi would not turn on so i twrp recovered a backup and all was good again but still getting hot so i tried to upgrade to jasmine 6.0 and once again the wifi wouldnt turn on. Restored twrp backup and now wifi will not turn back on at all. Everything else works. Factory restore doesnt fix it. What should i do?
