[SOLVED] Cannot Obtain Ip Address - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After flashing the latest Radio and ROM from DJDroid, I have been unable to actually connect to my WiFi. I have since then flashed LeeDroid's ROM onto my Desire, and I am still unable to connect to the WiFi of my router. Now I was fine before I flashed this new ROM, so I am unsure what has happened. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Very big problem with my Desire and Wifi Connection

Hey guys,
im running a Desire with the newest Leedroid Rom. Everythings working perfect,
except the wifi network connection.
My Problem:
After i updated from branded 2.1 to 2.2 with OVA Update, i cant connect to any
encrypted wifi. I dont get an error or something, it just tries to get a ip adress
and then it says Connecting... and then it starts again from trying to get an
ip-adress and so on and so on...
The only thing thats working is to connect to an open wifi hotspot.
Things i tryed:
- Other Router, other settings, other decryption, other keys,and so on
It has to be a problem in updating process, cause with 2.1 it works and after i
update to 2.2 i cant connect to any wifi anymore.
I really need help cause i think this cant be a hardware problem, cause everything else is working.
Sry for my english, tried my best

Do a full wipe and flash leedroid again.
I have done full wipes like 100 times, also im always testing new roms,
so i was on modaco,leedroid,cyanogen and installed them many times.
So that cant be the problem
nge89
First how do you do a full wipe?
Second what is a OVA update? is it the same as OTA? And what does the update have to do with your wifi not working on leedorid? Did you OTA update form a rooted 2.1 rom?
Has wifi ever worked on 2.2? What radio are you using?
I do a full wipe with all 4 wipe options, dont know the exactly names.
Yeah sry,with OVA i mean the OTA.
No, i did a OTA Update from a branded unrooted 2.1 Desire to the branded 2.2 Froyo version. And wifi NEVER worked on any 2.2 version.
I just rooted my phone when i was on branded 2.2 version, cause i wanted to
try some of the nice roms.
In this time i never used wifi, only mobile network connection, cause i was long
time not at home and couldnt use any wifi, now im back here and trying to solve
my wifi problem.
Just checking my Radio version and i have 32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2, but i dont
know why, thought i had installed a newer
Should i try the 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27?

Yes looks like 2.1 radio, try the newer but do not pull the battery during the update it will reboot twice and don't touch anything during the process. I take no responsibility for what happens and I suggest you do some searching on the radio flashing process. Also don't forget to check the md5 of the download.
Might sound a bit scary but if you follow the procedures and don't do anything stupid it should go well.
i encountered the same problem only i'm on 2.1 after downgrading from 2.2 and rom jumping. did a wipe and even tried to nand restore my original stock rom. is this a radio error?
the phone was working fine. this issue happened to me while i was trying to fix a battery drain problem, i did a dalvik + cache wipe and the battery was fixed but the wifi started doing this. my phone could still be on the 2.2 radio

Would be nice if you would post the radio version
was about to edit my post with the info, you beat me to it
Radio: 5.11.05.27
HBoot: 0.93.0001
Im now also on 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27. Still the same Problem.
That u can imagine how it looks like:
1. Wlan -> power on
2. Select my Wlan Acess Point
3. Type in my Wlan Key
4. Its says Wlan -> " The Connection is now being established"
5. Wlan -> "Authentication with "Wlan Accespoint name" "
6. Wlan -> " Not Connected"
7. Wlan -> "Scan..."
After this steps it repeats from step 4-7 again and again and nothing is happening.

Also tried with another keyboard, in another thread someone said it worked for him
with another keyboard. But not for me, still the same problem.
nge89
ok i fixed the problem and now Wifi works perfectly!
I downloaded the same version radio and flashed it again from AmonRA recovery and now the Wifi and mobile network work just fine.
I got the radio from this thread and it has the instructions on how to flash the radio.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=687464
I just flashed the radio with clockworkmod and with install zip from sdcard. Is that wrong?
You had the same problem like me?
Nge89
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
no its not wrong, thats what i did only with AmonRA. yeah from your description i had the same problem. The wifi would detect my wireless network but would refuse to connect and kept giving me "unsuccessful" errors.
The problem is, that i dont get any error.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Some one any idea?
flashing the radio again didn't fix it?
Did you try to disable any protection (wep, wpa, wpa2) on your router and then connect? Also try to disable dhcp on your router and assign static IP adress to your HTC device. I had problems connecting to wifi but after I assign static IP everything is ok.
Yeah, i can connect with disabled security. With static ip and crypted wifi it
doesnt work, i cant connect.
nge89
Then your problem most probably lies in "shaking" between HTC and router. Did you try with basic 64 bit or 128 bit wep? In many cases shaking troubles occur when one device doesn't support encryption of another. For example I had troubles connecting my windows 7 because of ****ty drivers off my wireless card. I could only use wep. Also can you check that portable wi-fi hotspot in wi-fi hotspots is disabled? And try to add your wireless manually so when you enable wi fi it should connect you automaticly without having you to enter your password.

[Q] Why does my wireless cut out when logging in?

Hi all. I have searched and nothing pertains to my problem.
I upgraded to a new rom (coredroid 7.1), and even going back a rom version my wireless keeps logging in and then disconnects for no apparent reason. It doesn't even pick up the IP address. Show's 'connecting' then 'disconnected' straight after. The one radio i have used has worked flawlessly.
Any ideas on what is going on?

It can be a kernel issue... some kernels are not compatible with certain routers to get info from them to connect. Try flashing a different kernel and see the results.
Ah I tried a new radio and Kernel but it still does the same thing. Rebooted the router and reinstalled my phone rom as well and nothing changes with the problem.
try flashing a rooted stock rom. if still cannot connect, i hope you're still under warranty and send it back to htc
Ah well after flashing a new radio and kernel then reflashing the rom, it decided to work again after I changed the channel on the router....... Confused yet? I was. So thanks for your help it's now working fine.

Wi-Fi on custom ROMs

Last night I tried flashing cynogenMod 10.1.3 on my stock 4.1.2 Note 2. I followed their instructions, and everything went well but the Wi-Fi never connected to my router. It stayed saying connecting... then network saved. The password was correct. I restored my backed up ROM and on it the Wi-Fi was working. I flashed the cynogenMod Nightlies 10.2 and the same problem was there. I downloaded a stock ROM and flashed with Odion, and the Wi-Fi worked. I flashed Ressurection Remix ROM and on it as well the Wi-Fi didn't work. I tried a few non touchwiz ROMs and all of them the Wi-Fi didn't work, it only works on stock ROMs and TW based ROMs. Is there a way to know more about the cause of this issue? Did other experience such an issue as mine?
I would be greatly obliged if anyone can offer me help.
I have tried many custom roms of every type and build, never had any issue with wifi
perhaps you can try to setup static ip address on the connection instead of DHCP, see if that helps, or try installing something like wifi manager from the store, and use it to connect, see if it gives any more info ?
sorry if this doesn't help, can't think of anything atm

WIFI not working after flashing custom rom

So far I have tried:
ace2nutzer: cm-11-20150714-UNOFFICIAL-codina.zip
ChronoMonochrome: cm-11-20150730-UNOFFICIAL-codina-universal.zip
MIUI6_5.7.26_I8160.zip
vanir_codina_4.4.4.092615.zip
CyanogenMod12.1_I8160_0920.zip
The wifi is not working. I was not able to connect to my D-Link 868L router. I notice that the mac address of the wifi adapter is now 00:00:00:00. Btw, to check that my phone's wifi was still working, I flashed back the stock rom and it could work.
How can I resolve this? Would appreciate some help.

Wifi problems after flashing custom ROM

Hi all,
I am having problems with my wifi connection after flashing a custom rom. A few months ago I tried to flash lineage OS on the XT1685. This went wrong and the Phone was bricked. Last week I gave it a go once more and was able to flash back a stock rom from Motorola but something weird was going on. I couldn't get a WIFI connection ( no wifi signals in search wifi networks) and MAC-adress was shown as 02:00:00:00:00
I tried a whole bunch of possible solutions but none of them solved the issue. For example I tried to flash the WIFI-Fix, Tried emptying persist/wifi/.macaddr but there was nothing in it. How am I going tho get back my MAC adress! If the original MAC cant't be found is it possible to add another one? Maybe from an other phone or something?
Please help! I am stuck in this situation. Without WIFI the phone is pretty much useless.
Regards Remy
