I have not been able to turn on wifi reliably for ages now - It all started when I upgraded to WM5. Now (even if I downgrade to wm2003se) I cannot turn it on. I press the wifi on button, the cursor comes up but nothing happens), leave it for a couple of hours, and then press again - it will sometimes turn on. It then stays on for about 30 mins, and turns off (I have the wifi set to never turn off).
I cannot diagnose the problem - can you?
Any help GREATLY appreciated - feel free to ask for more details.

What you can do is to check the following keys in the registry:
HKLM\Comm\Tnetwln1\Parms\HTCPreloadstatus --> 1
HKLM\Comm\Tnetwln1\Parms\HTCPreloadwifi -->1
Both dword with decimal values. Next, when you made the changes, softreset and check if your wlan is working.
Keep us posted.
Cheers.

Dont seem to have the directory Tnetwln1
I am using a Blue Angel with xplode wm5 AKU 3.5.2 rom kitchen 2
i do have a directory called tiacwln1, and another called tiacwln.
I have attached them here, so you can have a look yourself:
(rename .doc to .reg if you need to)
Thought I had some progress there, but now all is back to normal...
Still no luck... found this: http://www.teksoftco.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=194

Thanx In advance
-jeasbe'
Thank you
The registry jack worked 4 me i don't know how to thank you really you helpde me a lot
No Luck..Need to USE THIS URGENT
I tried it but on Reboot My settings return back from
HKLM\Comm\Tnetwln1\Parms\HTCPreloadstatus --> 1
RETURNS BACK to
HKLM\Comm\Tnetwln1\Parms\HTCPreloadstatus --> 0
___________________________________________
The other setting
HKLM\Comm\Tnetwln1\Parms\HTCPreloadwifi -->1
Stays same
And after that, have you tried to soft-reset the device ?
There's a good change if don't, the change won't have any effect just like on you're desktop/laptop etc.
No Luck

Of course, That's what I said that "I tried it but on Reboot My settings return back "
After the Reboot/ ie after the Soft reset.
No Luck
I have the same problem.
the value change back to 0 after soft-reset.
I tried several times even waiting for some minutes before soft-resetting.
So it means ??
NO LUCK ??

@jeasbe: I just wanted to second your finding...
Actually I suspect some hardware/EEPROM issue like this (Hermes):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=304004
this is my story:
1. Got the Dopod from the provider with Chinese ROM (living in mainland China at the moment). Did not test WiFi.
2. After strongly insisting on an English GUI I got an update to an English ROM from the provider. Since then no WiFi
3. Asked the provider about WiFi on my Dopod. He confirmed that it was not working but had been working with the Chinese ROM before.
.... (so excluded user problem but still no solution)
4. Decided to upgrade by myself assuming the problem lies in the ROM version.
.... Upgraded step-by-step with the various ROM versions to XM6 according to tutorial 'n checked for each ROM version for WiFi. Still no WiFi.
5. Installed the WiFi patch for the commgr. No WiFi.
6. Read about that registry hack. Values do not remain after soft-reset. No WiFi.
7. Colleagues have the same problem (but still with the English ROM from the provider). So will ask one of them to hand-in to the provider to change back to Chinese ROM in order to see whether WiFi is working with that setting. But doubting it
8. any other ideas appreciated ...
another thread with similar issue:

It looks like the Hermes guys (Drummer) found a solution:

I found out that if you have a CHS version officially sold in China there is no WiFi feature in the phone - this rule applies for all models from any manufacturer.
I am not sure though whether it is really hardware (like missing the WLAN chip) or software issue (on a level below the ROM, because change to different ROM [incl. change of IPL/SPL and radio] won't help).
Yes I have searched for days and RTFW to no avail. New 8525 from warranty. I dont have a data plan as I only use home wifi or the rare hotspot. I flashed hard spl, flashed WM6. Everything on the phone works perfect except the wifi button stays X ed. Wont recieve broadcast from router at any distance. Did something happen in the flash. Is it the radio missing something or a driver missing. I reflashed the ATT WM6 ROM from HTCAMERICA just in case and have same problem. It doesnt seem like this has happened here yet or I am blind from reading for 3 days. Thanks so much in advance, you all rock.
perhaps you need downgrade your spl to 1.01 and then use mtty to fix
your wifi
wifi on hermes
i have a hermes (herm200) with wm6 pro (from TNT series) everything works so well, except the wifi.
it will not start at all,
blakest suggested using mtty to fix, but where to start? perhaps someone could do a step-by-step?
or a stable enough rom will do.
tia.
I'd suggest also looking at the registry to see if its activated.
You need to use a registry editor then go to HKEY_local_machine>software>HTC>CommManager>WLan. 1st entry should be value name : default, Value data : \WLanMgr.exe
2nd entry should be Value Name : Device name,
Value data : 5-AE5F-AFE5367E5006}\TIACXWLN1
Some newer roms don't have these filled in (especially the WLanMgr.exe value.
Hope this helps...
Cheers...
its better to move for warranty
OK I hsve looked all over these threads for the answer to Sprints Touch Internet threading issue. Ive tried deleting the registry that doesnt allow the drop down menu. I have installed cabs that modify the registry for me. This is a brand new phone with WM6.1 Could there be a fix to our previous way around this on the new phones? like an updated software that requres more that just that registry edit? Anyone else having this issue? Anyone been able to fix it?
Check the registry again for the proper name of your provider in the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\Settings\ForceCellConnection=Sprint PCS
For weeks I suffered trying to correct my issue. Hard reset, following edits, making new connections etc. Then I noticed, my "ForceCellConnection=Sprint". Check your connection name. Once I discovered this and changed the name - all is perfect. I have used my Touch many, many times for tethering and it drove me crazy when it stopped working. Good luck!
I figured it out....... When deleting the registry, you need to soft reset afterward, THEN when your phone restarts, you run IE or HTC weather or something to open a connection, THEN you run Internet Sharing, select Sprint PCS and it will connect =) Finally a way around a brodband card, and whats sad, is that it ran at 1158kbps for download test, my home dsl only runs 1320 LOL!
MY problem is. The wifi won’t turn on, and when u go to wifi icon in the connection the turn on wifi won’t be ticked. I have tried a lot off rom and even back to the original Orange rom and spl, all the same didn’t change anything.
I’ve been advised that my WiFi EEPROM has been corrupted or blanked somehow, that's the usual cause.
I need to get hold of an EEPROM from another device and write it onto mine.
This problem has already been known and solution has been found for Hermes model (below is the link to that thread) :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=322225
Can anybody help me in my problem? I need tools (something similar used for Hermes model) and working Touch HD.
P.S. As I can see, by reading this forum, this is not only my problem.
I got the same problem as u, The wifi wont on and ticked.
But some times it will. I also doubt this is an hardware problem.
Because some time it will turn on and some times it wont.
any help here?
Now, I found My problem.
When ever I instaled any program. the wifi will stoped working.
is that software issue?
or hard ware issue?
But when I didnt instal any third application the wifi work perfectly, I have changed to several rom including 6.5 coocked.
i'm sorry to tell u this guys, because i used to have the same problem and even worse the camera used to show only blank screen and i my pc couldn't detect my HD via USB, so i searched for solutions but i couldn't find any. I guess the only solution for this problem is by replacing the main board by HTC so if ur mobile is still under warranty go and replace it as i did. I'm also afraid to face this problem again cuz i found that many people are having this problem. plz let me know if manneged to get it works without replacing the main board.
I am trying to attract our gurus' and moderators’ attention, because I believe that we can solve this problem without replacing mainboard. I also believe that HTC corp is making profit by receiving our some kind of broken mainboards, reflash them with the stock EEPROm and sell it as a new again.
Our gurus are spending their times to create bulk of custom ROMs, where at the same time solving such problem with WiFi, looks more interesting and challenging.
Also I understand that if we had real hardware problem, no Wi-Fi, no Bluetooth, nothing would work. But everything is OK, apart from Wi-Fi.
If we have done this for Hermes model, why not to do something for HD as well.
Intermittent wifi
I now also have this problem, having just received a replacement from Orange for my original HD, which I dropped resulting in a badly cracked screen. This first unit had no problem with wifi, and I used it regularly on my home network. I loaded up the new one with all the same software, and, lo and behold, the wifi has become intermittent. Sometimes it works fine, at others when I attempt to switch it on the wifi symbol appears at the top of the screen momentarily and then disappears again, and there are also periods when it won't switch on at all. I have been trying to detect some pattern to this, or if there is something specific that triggers it, but so far without success. I am close to asking Orange for another replacement, and the comments above re corrupted wifi eeprom reinforce this. I also would be interested to hear from the gurus about this issue.
Loads of people report the problem, here and on other sites, but HTC has never explained what was wrong with the returned units (simply swopping MoBos and sending them back) and neither has anyone shown what combination of things "triggers" it - if indeed there is a trigger. It may just be a QC issue.
There was an anecdotal suggestion that the BT/WiFi antennas are too close to the board, so despite the EM shielding running the two together could cause damage, but nobody's been able to replicate it (and I doubt they ever will, as it requires someone to intentionally fry a working handset - not a cheap way to prove a point!).
I've had this problem now for a while and even sent my phone back to HTC for repair. It came back to me about 3 weeks ago and they said they fixed it. I never tested it when I got it back (stupid, I know!) and recently found it not working again. Today I hard reset the phone and found it worked but then didn't after installing Copilot SatNav. Bugger!
Does anyone have a solution to this that doesn't involve sending the phone back because when HTC reboot the phone they'll find that it works (surprisingly as no software will ghave been loaded!)
Any ideas?
+1 No WIFI + Camera + Strange USB connection (IT IS SOFTWARE)
+1 No Wifi, No Camera and stupid USB
The USB works I can flash from computer so it must work.
The USB dosnt ussually work unless flashing.
The Wifi just wont go/stay on at all
6.5 Roms there is no Camera Icon
6.1 Roms when the Camera Icon is hit, nothing happins
This has to be fixable by software, I know I can get the USB working and it is ONLY software as I can Flash it through USB, and in Bootloader it shows up USB when connected. Note:- Also my battery wont charge from USB, testing to see if its battery problem soon, but semi sure it is Software problem, as it will charge a little bit when left in Bootloader mode all day.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP, I brought my phone from China (actually came from Belgium) and I am from Australia, don't wanna send my phone a million miles away to Europe.
Edit: USB seems to be charging under Energy Rom and (I don't know if this helps) 1.17.25.09 Radio.
Seems to me that we can try the EEPROM fix if we find out the WLAN EEPROM address for the Touch HD.
Any experts here to shine a light on this?
Edit: Have been doing some more testing and when I try the emapiTest command in MTTY USB mode (with HardSPL 1.56) here is the output I get:
emapi init 1251 Test
1. Power on WiFi
2. Init WLAN SDIO interface
SD clk rate 19MHz
SD clk rate 144KHZ
SD Clk rate 24 MHz
6. DeviceID Test

WLAN 1251 detect fail...
7. Write/read Test, block size = 512

eMapiSdInterfaceTest NG!
8. Interrupt Test

Can anyone who knows what they are talking about shed some light on this?
To be sure it is not Software related.
Can people post their Rom
And the registry key
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\CommManager\WLAN]
"DeviceName"="{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006}\\TNETW12511"
(note this is the Registry key for the Diamond Wifi to work directly, Blackstone Wifi could have another GUID)
Also try to locate the wrlsmgr.exe in windows folder and try to start Wifi with that default Windows CommManager.
I've seen other devices where the address in the WLAN key was wrong, and it would show the behaviour one user posted here, you see Wifi pop up a second or two but disappear again)

First of all, thanks Noonski to stop by to check out this thread
My rom is the official 1.56.405.1 WWE Wm6.1 ROM
Even wrlsmgr cant switch my wifi on.
My wifi worked initially then started niggling, the whole switch on, switch off thing, and now it doesnt switch on at all...
Oh and my reg key at the location is the same
{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006}\TNETW12511
I have tried quite a few roms now including doing MTTY task 29 to format phone and load new roms from sd card followed by 2 hard resets...
Ai, wouldn't know where to go for MTTY and hardware issues.
I do remember the Dying radio on the original XDA issue, so it's not improbable.
I'll make this temp Sticky to see if it get's some attention by others.
My WIFI is dead also....but thank god I got dataplan....but I still wished someone can solve it.

Just to confirm that Blackstone Wifi has the same GUID as shown here above. My Wifi is still working, official stock ROM 1.56.401 WWE, radio version 1.13, no ROM or radio flashes performed so far (other than official ROM upgrade) ...

Thank you for stopping by. Without you guys, we will not be able to attract our gurus attention to this problem. By the way, Blackstone Wifi has the same GUID as shown above. My ROM is one of the EnergyRom 3.0 , radio version 1.14.25.24.
Just let me know what to do and I will start testing. Also I have working Blackstone around from which we can extract working EEPROm. Just give me tools and instructions.
I remember that I issued this command on my phone and has exact output you've posted. I also rememer that I've done that on the working one and it has different output stating that wlan is OK and there was not any 7. Write/read Test, block size = 512

I find it very interesting that the Trinity has the EXACT same registry entry. Also, the exact same WLAN Radio. So, is there a different WLAN Radio that is having the same issue (I don't remember the Hermes one), or is it solely the TNETW12511 that has the issue? Would be nice to help narrow it down a bit.
Could it be that by using these dumped ROMs that we are inadvertantly flashing code for a different WLAN Radio that is corrupting our eeproms? Maybe there is a small part of code hidden within the DUMPS that still remains? Just some thoughts... This problem seems to be happening more and more since WM6.5?
But I also realize it may be happening more and more because more people are flashing now than ever!
I have same situation with WiFi on my HD.
I would like to say something, which could be useful for gurus.
Sometimes my phone catching WiFi after a few soft resets. 3-4 times and I could connect to WiFi network.
