NC Wifi not working in Cm7 and stock

I am running cm7 ver. 7.0.3-encore of my sd card. And I am having some issue with my nook color since this moring.
When I turned on wifi it didn't show the little wifi icon in the status bar, so I checked in the wireless & networks settings, it showed that the wifi was scanning. And this is where it stuck.
I turned on and off the Airplne Mode, it started working again after that. I even used it for some time.
But now when I tried connecting wifi again on my NC it showing the same problem i.e. stuck in scanning mode without the little wifi icon.
I tried agin with the Airplane Mode but this time it did not work.
I remove the sd card and boot to stock, even in stock it does not connect to the wifi. The wifi shows as enabled but it cannot connect to my home network.
I looked noline but cant find any solutions specific to my problem. Is anyone having such a problem with their wifi on NC??
FYI the bluetooth is working so i guess its more of a software issue than a hardware one, but i could be wrong.
what should i do to fix this problem??

Try standing right next to a wifi router and see if you get anything. There's a possibility that there's something wrong with the antenna.

Go into the wifi settings and delete all of the access points. Reboot and try again.

this worked perfectly.... wifi is working from both the systems i.e. stock and sd card cm7...
just for my knowledge... y did this happen??

I sometimes have to go through the steps of deleting my access point. I just always assumed it was my crap router or at the least a mix of nook and my crap router.

ok this is getting irritating... it worked for 2 days... this is crap...
now its not working... same problem... no wifi icon and stays in scanning mode for sometime...
repeating the previous fix does not work...
why is this happening???

Try upgrading to the latest nightly and then fix permissions in rom manager.

reboot into recovery then wipe cache + dalvik then fix permissions. reboot, turn off wifi then turn it on again, see if that works

No dice. Still not working.

hmmm, are you connected to your home network? sometimes I forget to connect back to my home network after using wifi at work maybe a router issue?? just a guess

I was trying to connect to my home net work. Put in the password and everything. Got fed up and did a full wipe and its working now. I had just flashed while I was at work and then the demonspeed v9 kernel everything was fine till i tried to connect to my home network. Think it may have been because I flashed through ROM manager I always have issues when I do that. That will be the last time I do.

[Q] WiFi and Bluetooth Problems

This is my first time using a custom ROM and I have experienced problems. I used the GingerIceJelly (Kernel) Custom ROM
When I first flashed my android:
its seems to be working perfectly at first. But as I tried the Wifi, I encountered a problem. I was able to connect to a secure Wi-Fi hotspot. But the problem was that it does not transmit data (internet). I have tried to connect to other Wi-Fi connections (with or without security) but still cant transmit data. Other devices that I used to connect to those routers where able to have internet/transmission of data.
After reading the thread again, someone suggested to have it reflashed. So I reflashed it again.
2nd Flashing of same custom rom: (followed the instructions obediently and diligently)
Bluetooth wont work anymore (especifically wont switch on). I have tried switching it on through the notification bar and at the settings but the results were the same. It says "error"
Wi-Fi problem solved but bluetooth seems to have problem now.
Thank you in advance for your help guys!

Thanks for the reply sir.
Well, I decided to reflash for the third time. Bluetooth now working perfectly and was able to send files normally. But the WiFi problem still exists. I tried your solution sir. But still no change. Wi-Fi can still connect but still no transmission of data. Same goes with the other networks I've tried.
Thanks anyway sir.

yes, i already flash stock via odin. I was quite frustrated for having that problem. I decided to flash other custom ROM for now (TD Kernel). Wifi and Bluetooth now working perfectly. :good:

Wifi Turning on Stuck

UPDATE - Problem sorted via philos64 thread at the top...
Should've tried that 1st, but posted here hoping someone would confirm that was the route to take, as it wasn't actually bricked... Never mind, all done..
Why??? Was out earlier so I turned my wi-fi off and my mobile on and everything was working fine..
When I got home, I turned the mobile off and tried to turn wifi back on, but it is hanging on 'Turning wifi On.'
Tried rebooted the tablet a few times and rebooting the router, (BT HomeHub 3), but still the same problem.
This N7 is rooted and running 4.2.2.
When I look at the Advanced Wifi the MAC and IP address are unavailable.
When I go into Wifi Analyzer it says the wifi needs to be turned on and tries but gets same hang and retries...
On the left of the analyzer it shows my Wifi ID with a mac address underneath with a yellow triangle and 'No Signal!' in red.
The wifi from the router is working as my phone is connected via wifi.
Any ideas please people ???
:crying:

going for the post with the most views and zero replies is not on my bucket list... So I'm going to reply to myself..
An Update....
The problem is still there, so I went into bootloader - recovery mode....Then I went into Android system Recovery.
I selected cache then wipe dta/factory reset.. Reboot then starts tablet as new with the unlocked symbol, then goes through the initial setup. Select language, then it does Select wifi and displays 'Turning on wifi'.. Hung...
Would flashing it via Nexus root toolkit sort out then problem... If so, any clues what flash and how...
If it wouldn't fix it... Is the tablet now bricked??
Please answer someone if you know..
Cheers

There have been several posts about wi-fi problems if the outer shell of the N7 is separated and not fully locked in. A loose or separated shell can cause a disconnect in the wi-fi antenna. Check for any separation and maybe squeeze the front and back together all the way around the outer edge.

I did read them and a lot of other threads but they were mainly to do with wi-fi looping and not connecting.... I couldn't find any other post regarding just 'turning it on'.... And seeing as it's sorted with just a flash of the stock rom, I can safely assume this problem had nothing to do with hardware...
Hence why I was surprised I was the only 1 with this 'type' of prob.... (but I didn't read every post so I may have missed one).

Same problem too

im experiencing the same thing. im using Samsung galaxy S4 i9505 LTE and on android 4.3/ rooted Baseband i9505XXUEMJ5. it happened when i was trying to erase all the bloatware on my phone using Trulyclean by schoolsux. after i flashed the script i started having this problem.so far ive tried to do a factory reset by using custom recovery, tried to download the modem fix and flashed it through odin and do the advanced settings on wifi and uncheck the auto network switch. The problem that i have is yes it say "connecting" for 2-3 minutes then it gives you a list of possible wifi connections and then you connect. another 2-3 minutes then it wont connect. repeat the steps and now i can connect, then if you turn off the wifi you will have to go through the whole process again. it doesnt save any wifi connections you have connected before. there are 2 other ways i havnt tried yet and that is to flash a different kernel. a custom kernel and reflashing my phone again with the android 4.3 then root:laugh: for the nth time already:fingers-crossed:

i have same issue with htc one x, my wifi doesn't wan't to turn on. it stuck on "turning on...", i tried to flash different roms, etc, now i think about flashing kernel, did you do that? did it help?

Same problem on N4
Have had the exact same problem not once but twice. One day it works perfectly fine. Next day, it just stops at turning on process.
On my N4 the 4.2 was working fine. Along comes the 4.3 OTA update and the wifi stops working. Does not startup or show the mac addr either.
Did factory reset, wipe cache and even reflash binary from google stock images. No relief.
One day, the wife using gmaps started the gps location service and pop the wifi started,
Now after the 4.4 OTA all seemed to work well till yesterday and pop the wifi breaks down. the earlier trick of gmaps does not seem to work. I think one of the google apps update is breaking this.
After rebooting also, the device seems to remember the wifi state and tries to read the previous history and restore for the startup. And that is killing.
Any idea how to debug this or to wipe the wifi logs or to manually start the wifi/bluetooth radio.. ya athe bluetooth is also stuck.
Thanks guys in advance

Where is the fix?

Hi Can you please send a link for the solution? i am still stuck with "wifi turning on" screen and cant seem to bypass it. No matter what Stock image i flash through Wug Toolkit.

i have got the same wifi errorrigictsi vanished
initially i had loaded my explorer with fly rom and everything waas working except the internal memory. i'm not even able to download at least an app and then i tried bulletsense rom for increasing the internal memory of my explorer. it's successful, and the memory increased. From there onwards, the problem started. the wifi first said error... but after reboot, it's all the time saying "turning on"..
by typing "ifconfing twlan0" it said no devices found... so i thought it might be some driver error. coueld any one port some other drivers to the below rom so that i can have both internal memory and wifi...
link to bulletsense rom ///d-h.st/xFr//// ( add https before /xxxx/)
here is a screenshot of it...///bit.ly/MMSeam///
any one please help me on this and give me a chance to raise your thanks meter...
sorry that i'm newbie and not allowed to post links.

Hey guys.. I faced similar issue in my AMOI 820 based Indian local device Micromax (rooted + custom kernal)
I fixed this stuck wifi problem by uninstalling Google apps in system by removing them using Titanium back up + and again installing them from playstore if needed.. Hangouts(in my case) if it's a system app after getting updated is the culprit .. Try removing it and reboot and test it yourself..

guess it working now!!
I was going crazy about this stuck wifi issue!!
I tried everything!! I found on the advance panel on the wifi
That the MAC address and the IP address is unavailble.
After many tries i think i fixed it!! Using:
Busybox and MacMan
MacMan changed my MAC address and now the wifi is no longer stuck!!!! Hope it will help you too. Peace

If you are on CM7, this happens. WiFi connects but soon disables although it still shows a working connection.
Check whether you have the correct WiFi drivers installed (there are two, search around for them).
Try updating to the latest baseband for your region.
Work-around: Try "Wifi Reassociate" app. Download it from Play Store. It periodically pings to a specific IP address keeping the WiFi connection alive. If it finds that WiFi is not working, it re-enables it.

those wifi drivers are for stock only
if on cm7 you must use biels kernel if the rom is his base if you want wifi to work
there is nothing wrong with wifi on cm7 as I use it all the time

Yes, I know that.
I always experienced WiFi issue on CM7 on every baseband I tried for my region. Other users from my area too have this issue.
Anyway, I now use a stock-based ROM and have no issues.
