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
nge89

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.
nge89

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?

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.

Device Reboot when using WiFi or Mobile Interent

Please help. I just got used HTC Incredible.
It is S-OFF, Hboot-0.92, Radion 2.15.00.07.28 and Android 2.2
It is only work when no WiFI and not Mobile Internet.
If I turn on Mobile Interent I have up to minutes to use Interent and then device going in rebootin and white screen. Removing battery sometimes help and device starts loading but then will rebooting again.
Will changing ROM helps?
As I saw a lot of people has similar problems in USA.... may be I got bad device(

You received your DInc with S-OFF? Sounds like someone sent it in and the refurb department didn't do its job in checking the phone and reloading it... then sent it to you.
You could always flash the stock ROM back onto and see what it does.
http :// dougpiston . com/?page_id=108
is where you can get the Stock ROM from. You will need to place it on you SD card and name it PB31IMG.zip
Boot up into your HBOOT and proceed with the update

Thanks! It was on original Rom when I got it but with S-OFF! and was rebooting when try to use WiFi or Mob. Internet.
Now I'm on cyanogenmod 7 and then same problem.
Do I need play with radio version? Will it may help?

If you go back stock it will unroot you..... if you give me some more info I might be able to help..... like when you flashed cm7 did you do a full wipe and what recovery do you have
Plus did you get it from Verizon or Craigslist or something
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App

Yes, I did full wipe.
Now I'm under CM7 and seems it working now more stable. So I can use interent via WiFI near 10-15 minutes. Under Mobile connection near 5-10minutes. If I do just quick connection on 30-60 second it not rebooting at all.
I got the phone from a person who, I think, take it from ebay. It has verizon sign on it.
When I got it was with original lates ROM.
I'm starting think that it is overheating. May be I can low processor speed?
Updated. Also I've installed prog called 'neocore' which does 3d benchmark testing. I need to run just 2-3 times this test and my device starts rebooting.

I had a similar problem when using custom kernels with HAVS or smartass governors on them. Do you have Set CPU or any other program that controls your processing speed/voltage? If so, try disabling them and see if you still have the problem. Some phones do not react well to under/overclocking.

im not sure what kernel comes with cm7 but some dincs dont like multitouch kernels.... and they will kick you off apps and sometimes reboot so i would try switching kernels first.. try one that is close to stock

Just back to stock ROM. And what I see, that if I disable Mobile Internet it works stable. Just turn on Mobile Internet and it starts rebooting. Stock rom has a lot of apps which connect to the internet. Even with disabled auto-update I still see how on booting 3g icons areas and arrows up-down are blinking.
As I see after connection to the mobile internet my device starts rebooting. And only one think helps - remove battery and wait several minutes, which allows boot in successfully. And then if turn off mobile access it will work well (((

Thats odd that ur phone does that. Did u try and change the radio?

Seems that is last what I can try. Or will need to sell it on parts for cheap (.
As I know radio 2.15.00.07.28 is very stable. Which one you recomend to use?
And how to be sure that it will work well with my Current ROM?
Can I install older radio? like 2.07.00.07.16? or even older?
Thanks for help!

i have an idea man maybe you should run an RUU to unroot you and format everything back to the way it was from the factory.... if that dont help it has to be a hardware issue.... let me know and ill help you through it

Thank for helping. Just not sure that unroot may have difference. But will try at last.
What I had found last days. I had changed radio to some version.
On 2.15.00.09.01 was very fast rebooting after try use internet.
On 2.07.00.07.16 was working a bit longer, but not so much.
And 2.05.00.06.11 - the best one! Plus I switched to Stock rom with Android 2.2 and whole day without rebooting.
Only one reboot was when do charging of the device.
The only problem I've under 2.05.00.06.11 that Interent working only via 1x speed. It always tries to connect via 3G, but no luck and switch to 1x.
What do u think now?
Again, thanks for help!

[Q] WiFi not working after overclock

Hi,
I've recently overclocked my HTC Desire HD using clockworkmod with this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835616
After that, my WiFi suddenly stopped working. It could connect, scan; everything, except for browsing and going on the market, things that need an internet connection. (Yes, I did use other things like my iPad and it did work)
Then I tried to overclock through fastboot and adb with the same link. What happened then was that my WiFi died completely; it wouldn't even turn on. Only thing it did was saying "Error" (Actually it was "Fout" in Dutch, but would probably be "Error" if it was English).
Then I did what this topic said:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=993981
I flashed the new file and my overclock did change; the max is now ~1.2 ghz.
But my WiFi still doesn't work. It turned back to how it was in the first stage; It can be turned on and off, scan; do everything that it normally would, only apps that need an internet connection won't work.
Anyone can help me?
Edit: I already tried a hard reset, and it doesn't work. My WiFi and overclock state doesn't change after a hard reset.
Edit 2: I FIXED MY PHONE!! Finally. So no need for you guys to help me anymore . And please don't say I didn't try hard enough, because I've spent at least 10 hours in this problem. (Yes, I am a noob )

I just started from scrap following new instructions from a new kernel. If you want to know which one:

So I didn't actually solve the whole problem since I wasn't able to run the 1.61ghz oc, but that's ok for me. Hope this helps.

I have been having this exact same problem since upgrading to Android Revolution HD (Gingerbread versions).
At the moment, the only fix I can find is to enter:
ip rule del from all lookup wifi
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In a terminal window everytime I connect to a new WiFi network.
If anyone can find a permanent solution to this issue it would be greatly appreciated.

That's weird. I'm running Android Revolution HD since yesterday and I didn't have any WiFi problems. If I were you, I would try to reflash. Also, have you tried to flash the recommended radio in the thread? I think that one of these 2 things should work.

I've tried numerous full wipes, different radios (including the recommended one) and still cannot get it to work without entering that terminal command.
I believe there are a few people with the same problem, yet it only seems to affect UK mobiles :/ ....

Wifi stops working after a restart

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.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

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.

WiFi not turning on?

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.
