using syndicate 1.01 rom since thursday, everything running great,fast, etc... today i noticed it will not connect to my home wifi. keeps getting obtaining ip address message. had no problem connecting before today. is this an issue with the rom?
Sounds like it didn't flash correctly, reflash the ROM and if that doesn't work re-download it then reflash.
In the future look in the Syndicate thread and you'll see all the issues that are normal to know whether it was a bad flash or not.
i was just getting ready to re-flash but the strange thing is i put the rom on thursday and it worked with no problem for 2 days then just stopped connecting today. oh well i will reflash and see what happens
i tried frankenstein which is based on syndicate and still no wifi. looks like a common problem
Just to make sure, did you flash the EB13 Modem prior to Syndicate 1.0.1?
i used odin to put eb13 and victory pit. then i rooted cwm 3.0. booted in recovery and put syndicate on. i did not put the eb13 modem on.
is eb13 go on with odin on the phone tab? then boot in recovery and flash syndicate?
The EB13 Modem belongs in the Phone section.
no good on the wifi
boot in cwm 3
do all wipes
boot in download mode
odin eb13 modem
boot in cwm 3
do wipes
flash syndicate 1.01
flash syndicate fixhotspot,fixmaps, and fixtethers
still no wifi. constant "obtaining ip address"
i will keep looking but if any ideas please pass along
yep, same here. My wifi used to work perfect. Now, all of sudden out of nowhere, it keeps trying to obtain an ip address, but won't connect. My other computers connect to the wifi just fine.

I partially solved my issue in another thread, but still cannot connect to 4g. I had initially thought my RSA key was gone, but was able to find it in an old nandroid and reflash it. KeyChecker now says my Key is Ok. I verified my MAC address is correct and have flashed the most recent wimax radio. I have also updated my profile and prl. However, I still cannot connect to 4G. I was in Minneapolis in a strong 4g area and turned on the 4g. It turns on, scans, says connecting to sprint, and then quickly returns back to scanning, finds sprint, tries to connect, then scans again. I tried this is multiple spots all over the city but still couldn't connect. I am running Fresh 3.5 with the stock kernel and have connected to 4g in the past prior to temporarily losing my keys. I have flashed different sense and aosp roms with the same result. Someone please help! I am stuck! I would like avoid unrooting if at all possible, but will if that is a last resort.
I would call Sprint tech support and see if they could do anything from their end. You can try changing kernels or flashing a rooted stock rom to see if the problem gets corrected. For a rooted stock rom, download this and flash from recovery after doing a full wipe. Make a nandroid backup of your current setup first.

OK, Sprint was no help. As of now, my wimax key is intact and Mac address correct. If I am on Fresh rom 3.5 and turn on 4g in a solid 4g area, it turns on, scans, finds Sprint, then disconnects, over and over, never really connecting. Any other Rom I have tried, both sense and aosp, 4g won't even turn on, it just gets stuck at "turning on". I have also tried different kernels. I don't know what else to do. I upgraded my radios and profiles, would downgrading do anything?

I'm experiencing the same problem as you. Every since yesterday afternoon, I can't connect to 4G. It scans...connecting to Sprint.....scanning..etc. I never lost my keys though.

Same exact thing here. Took me hours to figure it out but here's what I did..total pain in the arse! I basically updated radios in succession. I loaded an old Sprintlovers PC36IMG.zip that had all the old radios (pri 1.77). After that I updated radios again, pri 1.90. Loaded up my Dark EVO 2.2 ROM, made sure 4G was working. Then while in recovery I flashed Caulkins .zip with all of the newest radios, loaded CM7, loaded GAPPS and BAM...everything is working great....total pain and probably a lot of unnecessary steps, but it worked!
As an update, I ran wimax_ mtd in terminal and it ran through fine, everything passed and was OK, except next to "check firmware file" it says not match and next to "verify app fireware key" it says not match. Any ideas what that means?? Can you give me exact details with file links to how you fixed yours?

I just unbricked my phone by following the newest directions I found, you may remove that topic if reading this (sorry). Wifi was the issue I was trying to resolve when I did brick it. Ever since EH17, I downgraded (or tried to) to EC05 and get back on Syndicate, and now Wifi will not work except with DI18. Any update through Sprint, done from files from here, etc will result in non-working wifi. It always worked before, even with EC05. I have a Linksys E3200 with WPA2 security. Anyone have any ideas how to fix that? It always sits at "obtaining IP address"
I just got the phone back on EH17 in Syndicate, was still no luck (wasn't working in stock EC05 either). Now I go to EH17 Hurricane (where it last worked other than DI18 stock) low and behold, wifi works again! So how come now I can't downgrade to EC05 and still have it? What could be causing this?
Damn so many ppl are having this problem
I had a help req on this fourm with 2 weeks of bumping and no luck
But i figured how to fix it
Step 1 find your windows computers ip through cmd prompt
Type ipconfig
Your ip should be accross from gateway ip or something like that
Step 2 copy and paste ip into web browser
Step 3 login
Default password is admin
Leave username blank
Step 4 play with options till you can find factory reset or something like that
Step 5 press it
Step 6 ????
Step 7 profit

You are saying to reset the router. Unfortunately the router really is not the issue considering the phone can and will connect, but only with DI18 or EH17. Not even a stock (unroot start from scratch) EC05 will make the wireless work right. It just sits at obtaining IP.

Instead of doing a factory reset on the router, you could try just unplugging for 30 seconds and plugging it back in for a soft reset. It is possible an ip address is locked up or something in the router. Also for the changing of the modem, did you just Odin the modem.bin file? Can you explain the steps you did when upgrading/downgrading, etc...
Sure. I'll even go back to when I first rooted.
Was at Stock EC05, everything worked perfectly.
Rooted with Clockwork mod Purple, Added SyndicateROM Frozen 1.2 and Genocide 2.0 Kernel, everything worked great.
Saw ACS EH17Plus Kernel and Hurricane 1.5, decided to give that a shot, worked great.
Decided to upgrade the modem to EH17, used ODIN, did successfully. The only issue I had was the very seldom "random" reboot once going to EH17.
After trying for a while, missed a few features of Genocide/SyndicateROM Frozen. (Voodoo control, GalaxyTuner, etc etc). Wiped Data x3, Wipe Dalvik x3. Went back to that and noticed no wireless IP obtained.
ODIN modem to EC05, since I knew that worked, but no luck, still same.
Factory reset (after a brick somewhere along the lines, forgot where after) to DI18, wireless worked again!
Let Sprint auto-update to EC05 OTA, wireless stops working right again once at EC05.
Flashed up to EH17/EH17PLUS Kernel/Hurricane 1.5, wireless works right again.
I tried for the hell of it, to go back to SyndicateROM Frozen 1.2 and Genocide 2.0 but still, wireless will not work right.
So the only options that work for me are DI18 stock or EH17. Strange eh?
*Edit: I'm not even removing the above due to my own stupidity. I took your advice and soft rebooted the router, I don't even know how it would allow connection with certain software and not with others, but the phone is connected fine now on stock EC05. I have a COMPTIA A+ certification to boot. Sad day for me lol.

I am glad it worked for you!! It was probably just a simple IP conflict! And we ALL have days like this!
Yes, but the funny thing was I went into my Router's DHCP reservation before this and cleared out the lease for the MAC of the phone and it still hadn't worked! Once I noticed my printer was having an issue as well I figured something just got messed up in the router's memory or what have you. Once I did the soft reboot, everything worked thank god. It was just the strangest thing that the phone would connect using Gingerbread or it's original DI18 but no other setup. Guess I'll never have an answer better than a (at the time) dysfunctional router.
my phone did hang on the obtaining ip and on every build but other devices would connect
give it a shot
it worked for others too
Hi, I'm having an odd wifi issue.
I unlocked my OneX, and flashed a rom, wifi was working fine until i restarted the phone, when i try to turn on wifi it says 'turning on wifi' forever.
Wifi never turns on again.
Exept if i flash another rom, then the whole thing happens again.
I have tried many roms, ICS and JB all with the same result.
And reflashing the boot.img didn't help.
Does any one know of a fix or some advice?
Do i have to send my phone back to HTC?
Thanks

Try getril from the market and see if you can find a compatible one for your baseband.
And now i have matching ril and baseband.
And the wifi still wont turn on.
Try reflashing modules for your kernel in cwm.

Haven't yet flashed module, but i was trying wifi direct and that works, so I'm thinking this is most likely not a hardware failure. Am i right?
Now I'm of to figure out how to flash a module.. Hoping i dont Have to send my HOX to HTC to fix this.
.... Woke up this morning and the wifi was on, i haven't done anything. But it works!
Now I'm gonna try a restart to see if it will work afterwards.
Ok, restarted the phone and wifi stopped working.
Then i just to check, restored a backup from super wifi password backup app, then wifi kicked in. So, now i'm going to flash a New JB Rom and not use the app to restore wifi passwords.
Hopefully thats it!
Thanks for the help on this dumb problem.
Ok so a couple of days ago I installed a 4.0 ready radio on my galaxy s2 and then went on to install Jedi Knight 6 ROM (4.0.4 and radio is UVMC6) and after installation everything was working fine.. I was messing around for a while.. it worked today, I shut my phone off to charge it up real quick, and when I turned it back on my WiFi would not connect. Well not necessarly connect.. it just wont even turn on. When I go into settings and click WiFi, it just sits there saying, Turning WiFi on, and never changes.. I can't seem to imagine what could have happened to it, and I really dont wanna have to reinstall the ROM again because i just spent hours getting this one all set up to my liking...
Anyone got any ideas?
EDIT: BTW, I have tried many things.. Tried airplane mode to disable everything then turn it back on, obviously tried rebooting the phone, i have tried wiping cache in CWM recovery and also tried fix permissions in recovery (another topic said to try those..)
Nothing has worked so far, i'm about to try reflashing my radio, see if that works.. but I really really dont want to have to reflash my whole ROM.. So if anyone has any other ideas please help, i'll edit if the radio works..
EDIT 2: Reflashing the radio did nothing.. it's really wierd, the data, bt, gps.. all of it works fine, it's just the WiFi that's frozen turning on... cant get it to stop turning on and can't get it to actually turn on..
EDIT Final: Ok well, i guess nobody knows what might have been going on.. so I just wound up reflashing my ROM, which obviously fixed it.. i just had to lose all that time spent setting everything up... But oh well.. Kinda sucks nobody even tried to help..

+1 I'm going through the same thing now
I have been having this same issue as well. It started out as stock happening sporadically. One thread suggested rooting and removing my account. Problem still occurring. Tried flashing multiple ROMs and now WiFi hasn't connected at all always stuck at turning on. I have tried clear cache, fix permissions, as well as reinstalling ROM dirty and with factory reset. I'm hoping this isn't hardware failure because I just bought this phone used but it seems to be a reoccurring problem with others as well. Any NEW suggestions not given from quick Google/xda search?

I'd suggest to check your Wireless Access Point (modem or router) wireless settings for security, check and see if it's set to use WPA/WPA2, which is common on some modems/routers, change it to either WPA or WPA2 (preferred) not both, it's a known issue with WiFi networks and having it set to using both, I had the same problem before with my phone connecting to my WiFi.
Also if you use MAC Address Filtering on the modem/router, you should disable/clear that and let phone re-connect before enabling mac filtering again.

The problem I am having is not that it won't connect to a particular network. Wifi will not initialize on the device at all and is stuck in "Turning On..." state. I found more and more posts where people ended up having to send in to Samsung so I spoke with them and even though I purchased the phone used its thankfully still under warranty and they will be replacing it. The did not confirm whether or not it was a true known device issue but were quick to file the exchange for me.
sigh, me too!
Just started having this problem on 4.3.1
great.
In my case, I had to wipe system and data before reinstalling my ROM.
Though the only reason it was happening to me was because Beanstalk 4.4.2 didn't want to get past the splash screen when I tried to install it so I downgraded back to ICS 4.0.4 without wiping. Good luck getting this issue fixed. Also another kernel might fix thingz for you if your current one does not like your device.
I have a similar problem. After a while, WiFi gets disconnected. If I go in settings - wifi, i get the message "unfortunately, settings has stopped" and I can't get WiFi to work again until I reboot the phone. The Wifi works again for a couple of minutes then stops.
I have flashed various different ROM (CM11, PA) but keeps getting the exact same behavior.
I've rebooted in safe mode and I don't get the problem now.
