[Q] Changed Kernel and wifi won't connect anymore - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

So I tried to search, but was flooded with the incremental mac address issue instead.
I was using PRJ's desire build and then flashed over to MDJ. Rebooted, and the wifi just wouldn't connect. Wifi works and scans, but won't connect.
I task 29'd. I cleared the SD android folders and reinstalled magdlr. Same thing is happening.
Any solutions? It's driving me mad. I'm on the latest tmous radio.

So you didnt just change kernel you actually changed rom?
If you are having issue with a specific rom you should post in the rom thread or search for the issue in that thread.
I had a wifi issue with MDJ 1.9, I rebooted a couple of times, started and stopped wifi and it fixed itself.

No, I first flashed prj's rom. Then I changed the kernel to MDJ. Wifi stopped working so I figured flashing prj's all over again to restore prj's kernel would work. Nada.

Wifi Error

So after a search here and through Google I haven't been able to get this fixed. I was running CyanogenMod 5.0.8 without problems, but wanted to try out Chromatic 4.5. After flashing Chromatic, WiFi worked for a few hours, but then it just suddenly stopped working. From the "Power Widget" WiFi just shows the grey bar below it like it's turning on/off, but it's not doing anything. When I click it, it does nothing. If I go to Wireless and Networks from the Menu, WiFi shows "Error" up under it. The only possible solution I've found was for the Droid that said to try flashing the ROM using a GoldCard, but that was with the Droid 2.2 update. I gave it a shot anyways with no success. I tried flashing with and without the GoldCard, and in both scenarios I tried flashing with and without a wipe. I restored my CM backup and WiFi is working again, so it's not a hardware problem (which I didn't think it was in the first place). Any help would be greatly appreciated guys and gals.
Bump, just to get back to the top I'd really like to get this straightened out.

Read and search the posts in development. It is simple to fix that error. Your situation is an incompatible rom. Try using CM6.

Incompatible ROM???? It's a ROM using the CM 6 kernel and WiFi worked initially, so that's out the window. Thanks for the input though.
I have had the same problem since 0825 nightlies (nightly prior to CM6 official). Wifi works on the 0825 nightly but EVERYTHING since I get the wifi error. Logcat reports wifi driver failed to load. I have manually tried starting the driver, but still this damn error. I did flash the TMUS Froyo cm6 remix and that rom my wifi worked perfectly. I have flashed both pershoot and dumfuqs kernels--still the error. I manually pushed all things wlan to my mytouch and still nothing. So, there is no doubt that the error lies in the cm roms (or at least where it is mapping the drivers on our phone). Very frustrating. The fact that there are only a few of us having this problem leads me to believe that it is indeed a hardware issue or we have corrupted memory on our phones.
Anyway, I have given up trying to fix it. If you find a way, please post.
But, try flashing the tmus froyo remix AFTER nandroiding your rom and see if wifi continues to work.
I just reverted back to CM 5.0.8 for the time being. I'll probably try the T-Mobile 2.2 for the 32B since I'm sure someone will port it to the 1.2 once they get their hands on it.

Workaround for CM7 wifi issues

So yesterday, after having CM7 loaded for about 2 weeks, my wifi stops working.. After doing a bit of research I discover its a common problem, so I try the various solutions including changing the number of channels and both upgrading & downgrading my radio image, but nothing works.. Somewhere along the line I lost my ClockWorkMod recovery image & being the newbie that I am I decided to go back to the start & follow the process that I initially used to root (the one at unlockr.com), but at the last step, instead of installing the rootedupdate.zip file I decided to try my luck with installing CM7 again, & lo & behold it worked, wifi's working again...
not really sure which step of the root process fixed the issue but if I had to guess I'd say the correct radio image was flashed, maybe someone could properly identify the correct solution...?
My adb logcat session shows that its trying to connect to some network that is unavailable and fails. ı tried to remove the 2nd , 3rd offline networks and it started working.
thanks very much deleting the saved networks worked!! wifi back on

Indeed it works...but only for the first time. As soon as you disable WiFi and enable it once again, the problem is back. So you will have to delete the saved networks one by one, each time you want to connect and in the end you will have no more saved networks left (like me). Now the only "workaround" is to enter the network details every time I want to connect.
Is there still ni working solution for this?
still no WLAN
Having to choose the lesser evil between:
no GPS under CM 7.1 or
no WLAN under CM 7.0.3 I chose the latter.
The antenna works, tethering too, the signal is detected, but logging into a WLAN fails, it keeps scanning over and over. Deleting other networks didn't work.
Any hint?
BTW, I tried 7.2 nightlies... since Market (aka g-Play) is missing there is no real use so far.
Apart from that - CM rules!
I am using both of them right now and it is okay.
Sometimes I won't get any GPS fix and I have to switch it off and on again (or restart the phone in the worst case) to have signal.
CM 7.1 with latest radio (7.13.35.13).

Using cm7.2 last nightly and every thing works just fine! Give it a try!

Don't know if this will help, but I had wifi issues and GPS issues, but flashed new radio
7.08.35.21 and flashed CM7.2.0 RC1 (KANG) unofficial ROM and everything has been sweet since. GPS quick to lock and no wifi issues at all....

The radio should be the difference here as it seems that CM > 7.1 don't have GPS bugs anymore.
Update your radio version to newest (7.13.35.13). Everything work fine in CM7.2 for me.
I know it s been a bit but thanks for the info helped alot deleting the random networks while out and about after deleting 3 wifi runs great

[Q] Wifi won´t activate on stock 4.2.2/cm 10.1

Hi Guys,
I have a problem with my nexus 4. I wanted to use cyanogenmod instead of the stock rom, so i rooted my device yesterday and flashed the latest stable build of cm (10.1.2).
Everything worked fine, except for the wifi; it won´t turn on. It get´s stuck on the "turning on wifi"-page, wtih the button in off-position and saying "turning on wifi".
I´ve read some threads were people had the same problem, but nothing seems to fix it. I made a factory reset, wiped cache and dalvik, fixed permissions, but in didn´t work on cm 10.1.2.
So i tried a different build, cm 10.1.1 stable, but the problem persisted. I tried the same things I did on the 10.1.2, but it did not help. So I tried using the latest nightly, but that didn´t help either.
I thought i go back to the stock build to fix it, because it still worked after I rooted the device and still had the stock on it, but unfortunately that did not fix it. I made a factory reset, and wiped cache and dalvik again, but it just won´t work.
Long story short, i don´t know what to do now I rooted and flashed several devices before and never had a problem that did persist even nafter i tried multiple buidls of cm and wiping everything everytime; so if anybody has any idea where this problem comes from and how i could fix it that would be really great

Im having a similar problem, i think we have to flash a different radio ?
Still nothing
Flash a different radio? What excactly does that mean? I must admit I have not heard of that :laugh:
By the way, I just unrooted my device and relocked the bootloader, but that didn´t fix the problem either.
Stock CM Kernel? If so, try flashing kernels with prima drivers. If the problem persists, I guess it may be hardware. On another note, do you have bluetooth or GPS on? Try turning those off and try connecting.

I just tried the franco R163 with prima drivers, that did not fix it. But, speaking of the bluetooth, i´ve just noticed that the same problems occurrs with that. I trie to turn it on an it stays at "turning on bluetooth" without actually turning on. Maybe that helps to know what the problem is.
What other kernel with prima drivers would you recommend?
Edit:
I´ve read through a few threads on that bluetooth-issue, which apparently is more common than my wifi issue. I was wondering if my wifi-issue could have something to do with the bluetooth, because other users who have said bluetooth issue found their bluetooth temporarily on after reboot; then after a while the bluethooth issue appeared again.
In my case the bluetooth doesn´t appear to be on, but i was thinking that maybe it is, but the software fails to display that and that that is interfering with my wifi.
Could that be a possibility?
Out of the box my nexus 4 refused to connect to my TPLINK wr941ND router, wifi was set months ago, nexus 7 works as charm same with evo 3d and others. I thought wtf and turned on wifi on broadband modem, it showed up on nexus 4.... And suddenly network from router poped up as well. I switched off wifi on modem and nexus lost wifi from router. At this moment I went for a walk... When I come back done factory reset, reboot the router, no effect. Changed settings from WPA2/QSS to WPA without QSS - no change, then I changed channel from #13 (best in my location, all my neighbours using #1 and #6) to #1 and instantly nexus found network.... So it seems that sumthing is apparently with wifi, when I changed channel back to #13 it drops the connection and says that networtk is out of range. So finally I checked all the channels from 1st to 13th and it works from #1 to #10, 11 till 13 dunt work. Maybe this info will help sumone with simillar problems.

Wifi/Settings Crash

Recently Flashed Semaphore Kernel 1.7.1 on my N4 running October 7 Carbon Nightly and everything was working fine until it disconnected from the WiFi and wouldn't reconnect. I attempted to reconnect by going into Settings and settings wouldn't open until showing a message about settings stopped working. Rebooting the device solves the issue until it disconnects again.
Steps I tried to fix it:
I factory reset and flashed the latest nightly and gApps then reflashed the HellsCore kernel.
Everything worked great until this evening the same issue occurred again, I could not access the WiFi settings after it disconnects from the Wifi even after rebooting this time it still wouldn't connect, a dirty flash of the ROM on stock kernel allows the phone to connect to wifi.
Help?
