Wifi will not connect - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Here is what I have done...
I installed Starburst ROM and did a back up before doing so. I kept getting LOS with Starburst so decided to go back to stock and booted in clockwork and did a restore.
Now, my phone will not connect to my home network. When I try, it sees the network but just says obtaining ip. I know it is not a network issue, but an issue with the phone. I am back to stock kernel and stock ROM. Should I have did a wipe before restoring?
Any ideas? Thank you in advance for any and all help/responces.

Just loaded rootish5 rooted kernel and wifi works... wonder why it doesn't work on stock.

I have the same problem. It worked before I rooted, now that I'm rooted running stock kernal, it says the same thing, "obtaining IP address" and it never connects.
I still don't fully understand how these Samsung android phones work as far as kernals and recovery, apparently you can't flash the recovery by itself, you need to flash a kernal with it, or the recovery is part of the kernal, I don't know.

It also works with the Zedomax kernel...
Maybe someone will be able to help!!
Thanks again for any and all assistance.

try using the zedomax kernal or LOSt kernal, that should help with your problem

Having problem with wi-fi

Hello,
no matter what kernel I install, wi-fi does not work. Can someone tell me why. I installed the net kernel, and all other kernels, but wi-fi stopped working and is just stuck obtaining ip address.
Can someone help me?
Thanks
Try reflashing your ROM.
Then try wiping everything and then reflashing a different ROM.
Also, what ROM are you using?
I am using the Stock Turbo ROM, which kernel would be best for that?
Could you help me?
I did what you said, and flashed the Azrael ROM and still nothing is happening. It is stuck on obtaining ip address
and is there an older kernel because I have the newest radios......
Thanks

Evo Wifi not working Help!!

i just received the newer evo with hardware 4 and gingerbread installed on it, i rooted the phone using the new root method and installed mikfroyo 4.62, the wifi is not connecting right or wont connect, ive tried at home, school, and a friends house, is there something i can change like wimax, NV, Pri, radios...just throwing stuff out there, but you know what i mean, anything like that, that i can change so wifi will work again??
Have you tried reflashing the rom? Did you install on a clean install?
Did you flash a custom kernel? Sometimes an incompatible kernel will mess with your wifi.

I have a similar issue that just occurred, I've had it working all until last week now any ROM I flash/restore will connect to wifi then immediately disconnect.
Any other thoughts?
same here then I wiped everything two times and flashed synergy RLS1 + godmode 3.0 rom and now its back. So maybe try that and let me know if it works for you or if it just worked for me.
sorry i thought i hit submit message like a weeks back lol, yeah i got it to work, i flashed a different rom and kernal then went back to the rom i like and it worked, weird, something must have not flashed write

[Q] 3g data issues

i have tried following the instructions on another thread i found here about trying to fix a 3g issue with the incredible and new roms, but i have not been able to get my 3g back. currently i am running a stock ruu. my system info reads s follows...
Android ver
2.2
baseband ver
2.15.00.07.28
Kernel ver
2.6.32.15-gb7b01d1
htc-kernel @and18-2 #1
build number
3.21.605.1 CL231334 release-keys
software number
3.21.05.1
ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.2
i have rooted again since i ruu'd and have more or less just lived with it while trying to figure it out on my own. it seems to be random sometimes i will be able to look stuff up other times not so much. i know it isn't my service area as i have a work blackberry on verizon and that is fine. does anyone think this could be a software issue or does this sound like hardware. i am really hoping it is software as i have had my incredible since launch and really don't want to get it replaced, lol. i appreciate any help you guys can give me.
could it be the radio i have flashed? i dont know a whole lot about them so i havnt done a whole lot of troubleshooting there. can i go backwards with radio flashing? i just want to be sure before i try that as to not brick.
Does your 3g disappear or drop down to 1x often? You say you tried another thread, could you link me to it so I know what you did OR could you explain what steps you have done to alleviate this?
The typical solution is to flash a stock rom then boot into the rom itself and leave it running for a minute or two, even make a call and check 3g to make sure it's working. Then restore your backup rom and enjoy life. I'll provide you a stock rom link with steps to follow in a few minutes.
found it. i followed this thread and reverted back to stock. still hasn't helped my 3g woes. could having the wrong radio cause these problems?

***Edit i generally don't even have the 3G symbol in my notification bar or if it is there like now it just wont connect sometimes. in settings it says mobile network is connected as well

Aight, the rom link in my instructions is this one from RMK40. His link has since gone down. It is the first leaked OTA from last May prior to the flood of gingersense roms.
1. Boot into recovery and perform a Nandroid
2. In recovery, do a Factory reset/Wipe Cache/Wipe Dalvik Cache
3. Flash this
4. Boot into the rom and make a test call. Also check your 3g connection and see if it works. You can run it for ten minutes or an hour if you want to see if the connection fails, although it shouldn't.
5. Reboot into recovery and do Nandroid restore
6. Enjoy.
Post back with your results.
Edit: Here is a reference thread from where I obtained my instructions. I believe you are in the same scenario.

I would flash the froyo ruu thru hboot and then reboot. Then go back to hboot and select factory data reset, or boot to the os and go to Menu Settings Sd & phone storage and select factory data reset. Let it do its thing and then reboot. Once it boots up do the ota programing and your 3g should be fixed. Then you can flash cwm recovery thru hboot, and the su binary thru recovery and you will be rooted and ready to flash roms again. I have had this happen several times when using sense 3/3.5 roms ported from sprint phones.
Also that radio is old, from froyo, but that shouldt be the issue. If a factory reset dosent fix it i guess it wouldnt hurt to try updating to the newest radio. Im 95% positive factory reseting the phone from hboot or the settingd menu will fix your 3g. You have to have the stock recovery for the reset to work, that is why you need to ruu again, unless you are already on the stock recovery.
thanks i think this is working i just got done with programming and now i have 3g! gonna stress test it till later tonight i think and then it is off to flashing a new rom! any rom either of you suggest that shouldn't give me these 3g issues?
again thanks so much for your help

It usually happens to me on roms ported from sprint phones, mostly after doing a *228. I would highly advise not to do a *228 on a sprint rom. If you want to be extra cautious i wold just stay away from sprint ported roms all together.

Help on Wicked Sensations Rom

I have been using the rom since beta... Today my wifi started to give me trouble... It will not stay turn itself on and wont connect to anything. I tried full wiping and doing a clean instal of the new version and it is still giving me the same problem.. could this be a hardware issue?
If your wife is giving you trouble then you need to set her straight, lol.
Seriously though, have you tried reflashing the ROM, or flashed back to stock? That would be my first step to troubleshoot it. Try going into wifi settings and see what options are checked first.

"cyanogenmod account has stopped" after flashing ZVC stock rooted ROM

Hi,
Yesterday I posted about why my Wifi and 3G didn't work after flashing CM11. With the help of of engine95 I got this to work (thanks!) but now I am running into another problem:
The GPS doesn't work. As far as I can tell the standard solution is to flash stock again and get a GPS fix, then go to back to CM. So I flashed ZVC_Stock_Root.zip again. This worked yesterday, but today it shows a message "cyanogenmod account has stopped" and reboots after a while. I have done a factory reset and wiped Dalvik cache but the message still appears.
Does anybody know how to fix this?
Delete system in recovery and re-flash ZVC stock zip to get rid of pop up message.

This ^^^^^^.
Also. when you flash to the stock ZVC, make sure everything is working and make a backup in TWRP/CWM. That way you can bounce back and forth when CM/AOSP Rom's have issue's that need to be fixed with stock. ie update profile prl, GPS.

Thanks a lot, everybody. Formatting system allowed me to boot up stock and get a GPS fix. I have backed up stock and can switch easily between CM and stock now.
It took a while but now I have a fully functioning Optimus G with CM11.
