[Q] WiFi Error, overwrite modules to fix???

Hi guys,
For a few days I have strange problem with my Bangsters 1.2 build - every time I reboot, my WiFi doesn't work. I have to copy modules from the PC, and without rebooting restart WiFi connection.
Anyone had similar issue?
I've gt a similar problem, but I've had it with all the builds - Whenever I start up android, I have to go to settings, and enable wifi otherwise it shows up with an error. I don't ave to copy over the wifi modules each time though.

Wifi bug!

Check your advance wifi options. Check "never disconnect when connected" or just "never".
maybe disable draft n.
That's a known problem, some users have issues with wifi connection. Me too.
Try to patch the tiwlan.ini in the Path /system/etc/wifi with the Rootexplorer!
Open the tiwlan.ini with the Root Explorer, "Open in Text Editor", and search the entry HT_Enable=1.
Change the 1 to a 0. Save and Exit.
Restart the Defy, and Report the result...
Here, i made a Screenshoot...

[Q] S4 i9505 CM10.1 - wifi won't turn on, has no MAC

Hello,
To start off, I have a USCellular S4 w/ CM10.1, currently the 7/9 nightly. I am running baseband version R970VXUAMDL and have not modified the kernel.
I am unable to enable WiFi at all on CM10.1 and haven't been able to since initially flashing CM10.1.
Under the Settings menu, I am unable to enable WiFi - it's greyed out.
Under the WiFi menu, I can enable the toggle but it does nothing.
Under the Advanced menu, MAC address shows 'unavailable' and the Wi-Fi region code is set to 'Europe' and will not remember changes.

Have you tried removing the .cid.info file ?
Using a terminal app type the following:
Code:
su
rm /data/.cid.info
On some ROM's have have to do this after every time I have rebooted the phone, not quite sure why but it works for me.

Hello,
Thanks for the suggestion. I fired up Terminal Emulator, su'd, and it doesn't look like there is a .cid.info in /data/. There is a .psm.info, though, and .npswifi_stream - I don't know if they're related at all.

Bump again.
i think it's missing IMEI and EFS. Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264021

I dunno about EFS, but I know the IMEI is already correct - *#06* is showing the same IMEI as the label on the back of my phone.
My phone is work well after flashing CM, but no WIFI.
No /data/.cid.info file!
*#06# - show IMEI.
Did we ever get to the bottom of this?
Im having exactly the same problem, so bump. Its been like that for 6 months, my workaround so far was getting a bigger data subscribtion since 4g is working fine

Hi sylvis,
I realize that this is an old post. However. perhaps this thread will help someone else:
I flashed a Samsung Galaxy S4 (T-mobile SGH-M919) to CyanogenMod (CM11) this weekend. It worked ok for a couple days. The owner then said that they can't get any WI-FI. I found your post here and read with optimism that I might be able to fix this problem. Our problem was exactly "word for word" the same problem as you described in your original post. (Well almost exactly; we couldn't get "USA" to stick as the region code)
Before flashing the phone, I did install Philz ClockworkMod and did do a backup of the OEM ROM before flashing to CM11. That said, I found that I did not have to go down the road of restoring a missing IMEI file (as other threaders here describe). Here's what worked for me:
I dialed *#06# on the phone to see if there was an IMEI number present, and there was. I wrote down that number. So I decide to see if that number matched the printed number on the phone, that we can find under the battery.
Before I do a power off of the phone, I recall that I had turned OFF both Bluetooth and Mobile Networks. WI-FI was still turned ON, but in it's non-functional "greyed out" state like you and I both experienced.
Now I power off the phone, take off the back cover, and take out the battery to have a look at the printed IMEI number. Yes, it does march the number that I saw via *#06#.
I had to get up to do something, then returned a couple minutes later. I popped in the battery and restarted the phone. To my utter surprise, WI-FI was back up! In "Advanced" I now see the MAC address and the region is locked on USA
I turn on Mobile Networks, and WI-FI's still working. Being the fool that I am, I have to test this further. So I power off the phone again and just let it sit there for a couple minutes. I power back on and there is still JOY. Problem resolved and happy customer.
In closing: I don't think that the removal and reinsertion of the battery was the total solution, because the owner had already tried that. However, the owner did not let the phone sit with the battery removed for very long. They just popped it out, waited a couple seconds, then popped it back in. I think the total solution was having WI-FI enabled, Bluetooth and Mobile disabled, then doing a power off, with an extended wait time before reinserting the battery.
Hope that helps.
Regards,
Brcobrem

Reflash the kernel then the Tom
Go to recovery
Mount system
Flash Percy kernel or black reactor
Reboot recovery
Format data,cache,system
Mount all
Flash the Tom
Reboot
Additional thing : go to system / etc / wifi and set permission of folder to rwxrwxrwx and the wifi compliant *I don't remember exact name* to rwxrwxrwx too and try.

another solution ????

Moto X 2015 (Pure) WiFi Tethering does not work

2015 Moto X Pure on AT&T, and I have tethering included in my plan. Rooted/TWRPed but otherwise stock rom. Built-in wifi tethering does not work. Once activated the wifi network will be visible to other devices for a bit but it drops > 84% of packets
FoxFi (PDANet+), WiFi Tethering (from OpenGarden), WiFi Tether Router (from Fabio Grasso) all fail to work. FoxFi gives this error message:
Fail to activate hotspot: Fail to enable Hotspot. Please try again. If your phone is a supported model please also try rebooting first.
Error: ConnectivityService: Neither user 10255 nor current process has android.permission.CONNECTIVITY_INTERNAL
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I just need something to work! How can either fix FoxFi, or get something on there that works?
Try adding this line to the end of your build prop...
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
Make a backup of the original build prop beforehand. Once you add it, save it then restart...shouldnt need any apps, it should just work with the built in tether feature.
Works for me. Good luck.
