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.

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.

Hi,
Dear All,
Ok, the problem is very famous i.e. i factory reset my device and when powered one like a fresh piece, i cannot add google account on my G900F (can't establish a reliable connection to the server).
i have searched a lot over the internet. Read about the HOSTS files description as well. All i found was the modification of the "etc/hosts" with the clients.google.... following "#" so that 127.0.0.1 localhost is only the operational entity.
My device is un-rooted and just for the confirmation of the above mentioned, i opened the hosts file via HTML Viewer (just readonly) and found that the etc/hosts file on my S5 has 127.0.0.1 localhost only and no any other information, which i think should be available for your device to work normal and google accounts can be added. See attached screenshot.
Need your kind help in resolving my issue please.
Try clearing caches from recovery
Still same issue...
Might be worth factory resetting again
How did you access the HOSTS files without being rooted?
did the factory reset 3 times but nothing, issue stands unresolved.
i opened the HOSTS file through RARLAB. Actually it allows you to view the root folder and all of its contents even if your phone is un-rooted.
Could try removing the device from Google Play
https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2407656?hl=en-GB
Create a new Google account as a test to see if the issue is the phone or the account
If that doesn't help, Id flash a stock ROM through ODIN, this will NOT trip KNOX if you are still 0x0
Are you sure all your data connections are working properly, WiFi/3/4G ?

ok here are some interesting occurrences:
Worth mentioning that i was operating over Wi-Fi.
1) - i flashed a stock Kitkat ANG2 ROM via odin and the problem still persists.
2) - Then i flashed stock Lollipop BOB7 and still the same.
3) - Then i created a new account via the first sign in page on the phone (after flashing the new ROM), and i was able make a new account(through my phone) but still it was unable to login on the phone.
4) - Then i installed a Proxy/VPN betternet and then i was able add an account successfully and also Play store is working fine.
5) - Means there is some issue with my wi-fi adapter routing (may be inside the phone or the carrier) etc.
6) - Then i switched off the wi-fi and enabled LTE (of my SIM card provider) and connected my phone through it, say what! its working fine.
7) - again i tried over the wi-fi and the issue started to happen again
Well, one important thing, i am using wi-fi which is also a LTE carrier (having the google issues) and the second LTE (which worked fine) is by the SIM card operator.
So , is there any problem with my wi-fi (inside the phone) or may be with the operator from which i am getting my services??
its quite confusing at the moment. well i am going to try the whole thing over the Wi-Fi of another operator and will feedback the results.
Mean while any suggestions ??
Reboot the router you are connected to WiFi from?
Doesn't sound like the phones fault, unless you have a proxy enabled in WiFI settings or something, sounds like the issue is with your ISP/Router
OK i seem to have this extremely bizzare wifi issue.
I can connect to wifi access points fine, if i turn off wifi and turn it back on i am unable to auto connect and have to re-enter credentials for it to connect. Before doing so i checked my wifi ap to see if my ap were listed and they were not.
If i re-enter everything is fine but having to do this to wifi ap is annoying. After i have entered and check the wifi ap files i can see the credentials are saved etc.
If i do not re-enter the credentials and restart the phone with wifi enabled it connects to AP fine.
If i leave wifi connected and connect to to wifi aps that require certs its fine also without the need to re-enter creds.
At first i thought maybe i had a corruption in the wifi config files but i dont see any, no duplicate aps at all, no fancy characters i can see.
Does anyone have any thoughts as my wifi config with aps is many years old and has a massive amount of APs listed.
It doesnt matter what ROM i try as soon as i restore all my APs the issues start, is there a way to bulk export, wipe wifi aps and re-import them all again?
Do wifi aps with spaces in or length cause issues with 5.1.1?
1 root ur phone if you are unrooted 2 download any build prop editor from playstore 3 change this line ro.securestorage.support=true to false in /system/build.prop 4 if it doesnt work try a different build prop editor cz the changes might not be sticking 5) hit the thanks button if it helped

Hey everyone, long time reader- first time poster- hopefully someone can help me!
really frustrating issue, after over 2 years of near flawless use with my n9005 yesterday i noticed i was no longer connected to my saved home wlan, every time i tried i would receive the message: AP currently not in use......, i proceeded to restart phone/router, forget network- and re enter details without any success. after googling the issue i tried all the basic suggested fixes, toggling various wifi settings, toggling date and time, toggling wifi power saving mode via *#0011# all without avail. I researched further and attempted to access the dhcp_list to delete it via root explorer (also viewed the permissions using x-plore and its all ticked for read and write accordingly) etc, however i was never able to do this- always being told i didn't have the file permissions, same story when trying to use terminal with the input: rm /data/misc/dhcp/*. I have checked and do have root access and always granted access before attempting these through the configs of the file explorer and super user or by typing su first in the terminal. Whenever i enter a static IP it connects and works immediately, however when i was out the house yesterday i noticed it was doing the same issue with 2 other saved WLAN networks which being public i cannot use a static ip/ and ultimately cannot join/use. So last night i factory reset my phone/cleared cache this did not work as im still receiving the same Obtaining IP Address loop and AP not in use error message and once again the Static IP work round is my only way to gain access. Im now at a loss what to do next, considering to flash a different ROM/Modem/Boot Loader but dont know if this would be any help?. My system details are listed below any help would be much appreciated
BOOTLOADER: N9005XXUGBOA5
RADIO: N9005XXUGBOA1

Solved installed new ROM all good!
Hi all
I have the 935F Model, and it's rooted. Have any of you tried an app called "WPS WPA Tester" on it?, I used to use it on my old Grand 2 and it worked well, but now when I hack a WiFi with it the Password of that WiFi is encrypted and some times it deosn't show at all.
So what is your experience in this domain?
PS: there are two solutions on the web for this (adding a line to build.prop Or deleting a file in the system folder) and both didn't work.
