5GHz Wireless N? - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I had my phone connecting to my SSID-disabled 5GHz wireless network for several weeks--even while rooted--and then after flashing my ROM, haven't been able to reconnect no matter what (turned on SSID, no security, etc.). It doesn't seem to matter what ROM or kernel I use, either; I'm currently on Virtuous Doubleshot 1.1.6 but I also couldn't connect using Generation-X GB Stock V4. In fact, it doesn't even see my network. I haven't touched the radio at all.
I really don't want to go back to stock; does anyone have any ideas what's going on?

I think you need to upgrade your radio and try.
If you are on 2.3.4 based rom use the radio 2.19.531.1 RUU
Refer this post it gives you all the available radios & the procedure.

Radio shouldn't have anything to do with wireless drivers, AFAIK.

Do I have a corrupt radio or bad flash?

I have been running a version of pays build since last feb.
lately a few things stated to get buggy, alarms, notifications and internet connection stability.
It would attempt to connect id see the 3G turn to an H for a few sec and it would go away and never show up again until I did a reset.
I dealt with everything until the internet connection became too unstable.
At 1st I just needed to rest the phone once in a while, to a few times, and then the last draw was when it took over 15 resets to get it to connect to internet.
I have reflashed my phone and the internet connection seems to be doing the same thing again.
So this has me thinking it’s physically a bad radio or the software for the radio is corrupt. Since flashing the phone to most new roms does not change the radio.
My phone is a herm200
The radio I have been using for ever that worked for me is 1.48.00.10
my phone is running PDACornerPro.V27
I have the proxy disabled
Do you flash a stock rom 1st then the other roms, especially BS roms as this may help the unstable issues.
I would suggest doing some research on what radio rom works well in your area as you may need to upgrade BUT I wouldn't start flashing radios to test as they are the cause of most permanent bricks if things go wrong. If you do need to flash a new radio I'd suggest the sd card method, I'm assuming you have Hard SPL V7 installed, and make sure you use a 2Gb or less card formatted FAT32.
I would also suggest doing a check for bad blocks before flashing the radio as it may be that too.
Radio rom flashing is REALLY the last thing you do....
Hope this helps,
Cheers...

so i should flash the official HTC rom or a lite rom with nothing added and then the cooked rom?
bad blocks? how do check for those.
thanks
Do a search for bad blocks 1st, connect to mtty and type in info 8. if you have bad blocks type task 2a.
There may be "bad blocks" as the carrier sometimes brand the phones. These can't be fixed.
Find a Stock rom, most people use AT&T, either find the version that has had the radio removed or remove it yourself with a little surgery using a program called ROM Koch. It allows you to break the ROM into .nb files eg. os.nb, radio.nb...
This means you can then put the ROM back the way you like... I'd suggest to put back everything but the radio and keep the cooked "stock" rom. It is still a stock rom but you don't have the inconvenience, or potential bricking, of your Hermes to worry about. Then install the Rom of your choice...
Don't use a lite rom as they have been cooked and altered.
Cheers...
so far no luck.
i still get spotty connections. if it connects i am good for a while if not i have to reset the phone and hope for the best. it could take many resets.
1st i flashed this
official_AT&T_WM6_striped
then i flashed this
V15_M2D_Plain_3G
I updated the radio
from
HERM_Radinly_1.48.00.10
to
HERM_Radinly_1.56.70.11
I uese this to configure my wap settings
cingular_wap.wpbear_Proxy_Folders.cab
I even swaped my girlfriends sim with my sim to see if it was an accout
or sim problem.
the problem still stays with my phone.
Now i am thinking this could be a hardware problem.
can a 3rd party battery cause odd side effects like this.
Thank you for your help ultramag69.
Alot of your tips helped me get a stable rom flashed to my cell.
I the end i think the cab file i used to configure my att internet setting caused the network problems.
I now manualy configured it and have had a perfect run so far.
i also reflashed every thing starting with a att rom.
I looked at the media net and mms setting and used those after i flashed
V15_M2D_Plain_3G.
setting on the att rom
TCP/IP and Servers
select-> Use server-assigned IP address
setting used on config cab. I think using the ip address caused me the problems.
server ip
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Update phone is acting twitchy again with its internet connection.
Everything is the same as above.
The phone worked great this weekend and now it has yet to keep a stable internet connection.
Now I am really thinking it hardware problem.
Something gets loose or loses tolerance maybe heat or some thing like that causes the module that controls the network connection to fail.
Anyone have any guesses or tests?
Maybe att is messing with my device...

[Q] Wifi Does not connect on 2.3.x

I have tried all the 2.3.x roms, and whenever I try to connect to a wifi hotspot, the notification area would say "scanning..." indefinitely despite it being listed "working" on the custom rom thread.
The wifi menu would not remember security settings either. When I set the password, I would be presented with a configuration menu when I try to re-connect.
As far as I know, the phone is compatible with the rom. The baseband is xxxxx15.
EDIT: the roms were from racht's thread in the dev board

htc touch hd problem with wifi

hello guys, I have a HTC Touch HD and I have a problem with wifi networks .. I flashed the 'hardspl 1:56 el' axlor 6.1 as in the guide, but I'm not the most research of networks (not see any network) I tried to put all the radios, but nothing ... not even manually entering the keys wpa or freeing up the network I can not connect ... I tried to restore everything, but the problem persists ... can anyone give me a hand?
i have the same issue !!!!!! any one help please
My wifi connects to networks but the phone doesn`t browse the internet.I`m sure it has something to do with some setings but I don`t know what.Can anyone help?
without further information it is impossible to help you. what kind of network is it, how is it encrypted? what rom/radio rom are you running? is it your private network? do you have the key for it? what are your settings that you suspect of making it not work for you?
It`s a student public network on my faculty.It`s open for everyone to use.And they use it without any "encription" or password.
Bought my phone used.I guess it was all set to work, but I installed some rubish I couldn`t delete...rest of it you can predict.
I returned my phone to factory setings, and since then wifi doesn`t work.Everything else works.
OS 5.2.21855(21855.5.0.85)
manila version 2.5.19211619.0
Radio version 1.09.25.14
Thank you very much in advance!
ok, that is something to work with. your rom is not a shipped one, and from the version number, i can't tell, who cooked it and how old it is. however, it might be a common bug of that rom that wi-fi doesn't work properly. also, your radio is fairly uncommon, most people these days use the latest radio 1.17.29, which can be found on the forum. remember to perform a hard reset after flashing another rom or radio rom. in general, one can assume, that, once you flashed a shipped rom and the latest radio, the software on the phone is as it should be, and if wi-fi doesn't work then, it might actually be physically broken.

My phone lost BT/Wifi after ROM install

After installing OliSPL, new radio and custom rom (Energy or BlackStone) I lost all wifi connectivity (cant detect any wifi networks, unsecured or secured) and BT can't detect any devices either.
I tried going back to Original HTC Rom with no luck, the problem still remains.
Can anyone please help me figure out what the problem is. If you need any other info please ask as I have no idea what to include here.
Thank you!
if the only problems are wi-fi and bluetooth and those things are not explicitly declared as bugs in your rom (don't bother, they're not), then it is the radio rom, that causes these problems. have you performed at least one or two hard resets after flashing? did you restore any kind of backup afterwards?
have you tried another radio version? what is your current radio?

Oneplus 5 does not connect to wifi networks

Hello!
My Oneplus 5 does not connect to any wifi networks. It is able to see all wifi networks in the range, and is also able to save the network if the password entered is correct, however, it won't actually connect to any network that is saved. I have tried using advanced options while connecting to a network to change from DHCP to Static settings, but it still won't connect to any network. I have also tried changing the wifi band frequencies (2.4 and 5 Ghz individually) to connect to a network but that too does not help. Mobile Data and carrier signal on the other hand work flawlessly, and so does bluetooth connectivity, NFC and personal hotspot (which is why I am very confused). I should also mention that when it fails to connect to a saved wifi network, it occassionally displays "Disabled" under the network SSID (replacing "Saved").
I have changed 3 different ROMs (LOS, stock OOS and No Limits ROM, even replaced the stock kernel with blu_spark r69 when I tried using No Limits and stock OOS to try and see if that fixed the problem), but the phone just won't connect to any detected/saved network using any of those ROMs. I have reverted it fully back to stock now (OOS 4.5.14 and stock kernel and stock recovery) and am still having the same problem.
Sorry if this issue has been solved before and if I am reposting something, but I really need this fixed ASAP and am not able to find a working solution after searching the forums and googling the whole day. Please help me! Thanks!
Edit: finally fixed the problem thanks to Ivints and PeterGuru. Check out the post that Ivints linked below (especially the comments in page 2 of the same)

Thank you so much Ivints! I'm trying to fix it right now with the solutions I got from the post.
I'm having exactly the same problem that the guy who started that post had. I'll let you know when I fix it and everything goes well again! Thanks again, bud!
if you want to stay on Nougat look for the O2N revert flash file it's in the Oxygen 5 beta threads that will let you get back to a nougat based rom.
The Oreo update touched other partitions outside of /system so those wifi drivers don't work with Nougat anymore

aww you should have totally read this post and the one that Ivints linked to fix your problem, i.e. if you had a similar problem.
Glad that everything is working out for you properly now.

I see... I'll look for that thread and get the flash file! thanks! I'm currently using xXx's No Limits 9.2 OB03 ROM with bluspark 3.2.1 recovery and bluspark r77 (Oneplus 5). The only reason that I feel like reverting back to Nougat is that I want to be able to use Xposed again. So i guess I have that option in hand not too! Thanks, bud!
Hello there my friends, i have a problem with my op5
its about wifi: it doesn t see my wifi anymore. idk why
it s been connected to this wifi 2 years ,even after switching roms kernels, firmwares
and now , it doesnt see the wifi no more, actually it sees it, in `Saved` section, but when i press on it to connect
it says ` not in the area` but my other op6 its connected no problem
and i even tried through qr code, it says ` check ur connection and try again`
Just one add-on cause I was just a few minutes away from formatting my data. My OP5 unlocked rooted, rest stock, wasnt connecting to my home wifis (2,4ghz and 5ghz). I flashed a full ota zip. I deleted wifi bluetooth via backups settings.
But I found out that connecting to an iphone hotspot worked. So I entered manually the network SSID + password although the same network name was already in my wifi list (with marking: "saved"). I then clicked on the second "new" same wifi and it directly connected to my home wifi. Same happened to the 5ghz network. I then deleted the old 2 ones.
I have no idea why this happened, I only tried to get VoLTE/Wifi Call running with the magisk module. This might changed sth but I dont get the connection here since there should be no interference...
