Wifi turns off by itself about 3 minutes after connecting to a network. At times it even reboots itself trying to turn wifi off. Sometimes it even cant detect a wifi signal even though its within strong signal range.
Tried full wipe and reflash stock firmware but to no avail.
Do you guys reckon its a hardware fault?

It could be, but what firmware/kernel version are you using? Wifi is a kernel issue, not a ROM issue per se, but if you are using a custom ROM and custom recovery, you could have flashed it with the wrong recovery and ended up with this sort of mess.
Most common scenario?
Flashing custom ROM with TWRP or the wrong version of PhilZ recovery or even an older version of CWM.
Any of these can screw up your device.

Previously on ARHD 3.0 flashed with Philz as instructed. Been using it for almost 2 months without a glitch. All of a sudden this happened.
Ive now reverted to stock as u see in screen cap. But still doesn't solve the problem.

Alright ive kinda hit a wall im not sure what i can do i can't seem to get my s4 to flash to any custom roms. just picked it up it came with the latest MF9, ive followed the instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2257101 to get root access and to install twrp. i can get it all to install just fine and have verified that i have root access. but once i flash a custom rom ie. CM 10.1 or even Slim mod either through goomanager it will say it installs successfully but once it reboots the new rom splash screen shows up and just sits there forever spinning and it never goes any further.
ive even restored my device to factory and unrooted the device and im still unable to get any roms to load up. am i missing anything that someone might be able to point out
heres the steps ive tried or gone thru
1. CF-autoroot via odin
2. install Twrp or CWM either thru odin or their manager aps
3. copy rom and gapps to sd card
4. boot to recovery and try to install
5. get stuck at splash screen!!!!
You probably need to install a compatible kernel. If the Rom doesn't include one that's the problem.

Hey all, I'm having a problem with my nexus here and its driving me crazy. Basically i was behind on updates and running 4.2.2 (Paranoid Android) until today. I decided I would upgrade to the newest Paranoid android 3.99 RC2. First off, i downloaded the stock nexus 4 images, and flashed em all through fastboot. Then i flashed the newest CWM (6.0.3.8 i think) and proceeded to flash PA.
But when i booted into PA, i had no cell connectivity as well as unknown baseband, imei, and imei sv, even though the baseband is clearly shown in fastboot (its 0.84). I tried reflashing the baseband, no luck. So i reflashed the stock google img's and my imei and everything came back.
So i tried a second time and it still didn't work. Seems like whenever i flash PA, i lose my imei and baseband.
Help me out guys
Anybody?

DID you do a full wipe before flashing?
I would be very careful and stay stock until you get an answer. Without IMEI your phone is illegal and won't work. I've stayed away from C /M as it's buggy and has too much trouble, like this.
Sorry

Yes, I did a full wipe, even the SD.
I flashed the full 4.3 stock Google image through fast boot first. So I should be totally up to date.
I will try TWRP and see if its the new CWM that's messing things up.

The CWM version you used has a bug which derps your baseband when you flash anything. Simple fix: install any other version of CWM or use TWRP, then flash everything again (radio, rom, whatever). This happened to a lot of people. You'll be fine.

I recently upgraded my ROM to the latest version. Wiped the cache and davlik, flashed the new rom and then flashed GAPPS. The rom boots and shows Android is Upgrading but after a few seconds, it reboots again and goes through Android is Upgrading again and restarts prematurely.
Also tried only flashing the rom without gapps but I am getting the same issue.
Did you wipe data or was it a dirty flash.
Sent from my LG-D800 using XDA Premium HD app
It was a dirty flash. Then since it failed, cleared data and system and flashed but still no dice. Flashed the latest Cm nightly and it worked. Been using it since. Might be a problem with the rom. One other person had a similar problem though there are some people who used the same zip but didn't face any troubles. Looks like Cm for now

Strange, flash back to stock via Odin, then install TWRP or PhilZ advanced CWM and try again - could just be a bad CWM install
Could also be the roms are corrupted...
If you have wifi at home try downloading directly to the phone instead of PC. Might be the problem...

Indeed.. And always verify the size of the downloaded file against the one usually posted on the download page.
Additionally.. I would have to concur about using TWRP. It has never failed me.

'K bro let me figure out what's the situation. Tell me how & when exactly did this happen. After you flashed a new rom or some update or something. Also which rom and all you've flashed in the past before and after wifi issues started????
Sent from my SM-G800H using Tapatalk
Actually I can't tell cause I got it used, it was with stock official 4.4.2
It worked sometimes, most of time not, or just gave a fake WiFi Signal..like it says it's connected, but actually no Internet.
So I Flashed another stock official rom via Odin, got same results, then I tried flashing some fixes I found around the Internet, the ones you put in PDA and flash, it worked for sometime then stopped..
Rooted and tried deleting efs, no luck.
Lastly I Flashed 4 Files factory ROM 4.4.2 with its pit file.. It didn't work.
Of course I've tried it on other routers..
So no matter what I do it stays on "Saved, Secure"
It's really weird thing as Bluetooth and Hotspot are both working..

Don't get me wrong but in your first post you said "different stock ROMs" later you said "another official stock ROM", dude as far as I know there's only one stock ROM for every device, it may have different Android versions like 4.3 or 4.4

Okay so let me tell you what happened with me was something similar issue.
I flashed the GeNxt N4 rom and after that it is instructed to flash Deds kernel but cwm is buggy and it behaves weirdly so you cannot return to recovery to flash kernel and rom withing the same boot into recovery without reboot.
So i changed roms but to my surprise i had wifi issues in all of 'em. So i used philz recovery and flashed N4 rom with the Deds kernel and finally fixed.
So maybe yours the same case. The previous owner did something similar and wifi issue could'nt fix so he gave to you.

Do on Gennxt. Cuz what i think is the problem is previously this rom was maybe flashed on your device without Deds kernel as you say someone else used it before and the bug is showing up on every rom since it was not fixed.
Again i am just trying to guess what the problem is. Hope it helps
