[Q] HTC EVO wifi problem - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello I looked everywhere on the forum and unfortunately I couldn't find a solution to my problem. So here goes my question in an effort for you people to help me. Thanks in advance and sorry for the inconvenience. I rooted my htc evo 4g a long time ago and not until yesterday have i decided to use WiFi. When I turned it on it connected to my home network but when i go to Google or any other webpage it wont load. I tried it at my friends house and the same thing happened. I don't know what to do to get my WiFi working again. Please help.

What rom are you on? Have you tried 'wifi fixer'. Its free from the market.
We're comin from a pure power source.

Its called 'fxr wifi fix and rescue'
We're comin from a pure power source.

Thanks for trying to help. The rom im using i believe is mikrom supersonic 3d. Do you think If i factory reset my phone will the wifi work?

reflash of radios might be in order. Same thing happened to me.. turned on wifi and all it said was error and 4G wouldnt search. Flashed latest radios from combo and all was well again.

Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately im a newbie so can you tell me how to flash the radios?

Download radios from - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485 and put on root of sd card. I use latest combo..to each their own.
Go into recovery and flash by installing zip you downloaded.
It will say Install Complete at which time toggle to Reboot and it will start install of radios and reboot itself after each install. Dont interupt during this process and it may take a few but once done you will see your rom screen, go inSettings\System Updates and Update PRL and Profile. All should be good after that, if not then yes a new kernel or reflash of existing kernel may also be in order.

I just finished flashing the combo and i went to try and see if the wifi is working but unfortunately it wont work. I went on google and the webpage wont load up. Do you have any other advice so my wifi can work? Im willing to do anything

Did you try flashing a stock rom to see if wifi works?
We're comin from a pure power source.

can you give me a link to a stock rom?

Just Google stock sense 1.0 XDA.

can anyone give me a link to a stock rom for the htc evo 4g please since im a newbie

this is a completely stock rom it is not my own so i take no credit. from what i read its can come in odex or deodex, if u dont know what that is odex is usually faster and deodex is better for theming. so the choice is up to u
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412005
if you still need radios or whatever try this link (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485) once again not mine but i have used this before. i would suggest flashing the combo one. (its the very first link in the post)
i have had ur problem b4 and all i had to do was flash the combo of the lastest radios wimax and all that jazz but different phones do different things..
Good luck hope i helped!

I'm attempting FXR wifi fix and it says my profile will be erased. Does that mean I'll have to rearrange my icons, homescreen configuration and such from scratch again?

No, it just means you need to resign into your wifi account

Froyo no data cannot connect

hello im new to these forums (well forums in general) so if i post this wrong or something just tell me thank you
so anyways i just flashed the evolutionv8 rom to my evo and i booted up and in the set up screen it tells me there is no data connection so i must use wifi, but there is bars on top it, thus it doesnt let me connect to anything outside of a wifi network. is this a known issue? should i try reflashing it? i used this way of rooting and flashing the rom celebwebnewsDOTcom/tech/steps-flash-rooted-stock-rom-htc-evo-4g.html (im new so it wont let me post urls) just instead of using Supersonic_1.32.651.1_rooted.zip as the rom i used evolutuionv8 downloaded from toasts froyo update thread. so if anyone knows a fix please let me know. much appreciated!

Probably would've had better luck in the Q&A section, but no worries its your first post.
This sometimes happens to me (where it takes a little bit for the data connection to kick on), so I would say give it 5-10 minutes and see if that doesn't fix it. If not, I would definitely consider a reflash as I have been running this ROM today with no issues.
ooo okay im really sorry for the wrong post! but now im flashing the evolutionv8revA because i realized the evov8 was actually older. i read somewere im supposed to flash a updated radio or something?
welll not i flashes the reva rom and now it says im roaming? but now i can access everything again

You may be experiencing the LOS bug. There are many threads on this, but try resetting your data profile. I posted the instructions here:

Use the epic touch Zedomax kernel v3 ,, it is the best out it is already rooted overclocked to 1.6 more battery life, flashes perfect with odin put into pda and flash youll be rooted with orange clockwork recovery!
if you need t go back to stock first use the eg30.tar put ino pda in odin!
This works perfect and is flawless

Do i have to restore to factory after i flash that kernel?
Not booting into recovery...
I also am wondering if I have to go back to stock. When I reboot into recovery, I get the exclamation point inside a triangle with little green android guy, and have to hold down power button long time and _then_ reboot into clockwork mod. That’s not right, is it? Here is the detail: Got my SGS2, Sprint, rooted, using ZedoMax's method (Odin, flash his ROM, voila: rooted). But then had trouble flashing Clockwork Mod. Recovery 3e requires signature verification for flashing external files, so it's barfing, throws error can't read file signature, hard stop. Replaced the ROM with his new one: SPH D710_Zedomax_EpicTouchKernel-v2.tar. So then flashed acs-eb30-clockwork-epic-touch-4g-sep-20-4-00-pm.tar to try to fix Clockwork mod...no. Then flashed latest build from Zedomax: SPH-D710_Zedomax_EpicTouchKernel-v3.tar. Still, recovery doesn't go straight to orange menu, which is not right, right? I know, I'm a noob, but I can't even begin to explain how much time this has taken. Thx to anyone who can help.

im about to kill something, plz plz help, drivers wont install bc of my old epic 4g

everything but the cdc serial installs, i do the locae software blah blah, ans it gives me errors galore.
ive hit ignore, everything i can think of
im almost sure its bc of my original epic drivers
im on win vista
can anyone help me to get rid of old drivers or a way to get myy e4gt drivers installed?
Try booting your PC into safe mode and uninstalling the Epic 4g drivers from device manager. Safe mode device manager will show installed devicves that are not currently connected.
This might help as well:

Do option C, then option E.
To get into recovery, turn phone off. Then power on by holding volup and power. Keep holding until recovery boots up. From there I would flash any custom rom as they pretty much all have the hotspot hack. I would recommend calkulin's as I personally have found it to be the most stable.
option e is ek02, im on el29, isnt el29 the newest ?

Yea, but it is not asking what you are on. It is asking what you want to flash to. Flash to ek02 (option E) and from there you can flash to whatever you'de like (I suggest calks rom, which is el29 based).
im confused, i flashed option l, the el29, can i not flash things from there? why would i flash an older ver.?

You can flash from anywhere as long as you can get to recovery. Sorry to have confused but I guess I had an earlier version of autoroot that didnt include the el29 images.

Wifi not working/Unroot

Ok so today i noticed my wifi doesnt work anymore, it wont turn on... so i was wondering if there was anyway to go back to full stock so that the clerk at Telus wont notice it was rooted and stuff? i still have my 30 days with them i believe so, i dont think he looks at the system for root and flash anyway, can someone let me know? thanks!
Edit: i have tried flashing other roms, it wont work
Flash Stock, then get a little app called Triangle Away by Chainfire. If you go to the Dev forum there are multipe stickies to help you out.
Did you happen to change kernels at any time. Ktoonsez . It changes the wifi driver. Just reflash that kernel and all will be fine.

Before you go too far in reverting to full stock, try reflashing your kernel (or flash a new one, doesn't matter). Same thing happened to me today and this fixed it.

can you explain your situation a little better? cyanogenmod dropped support for the Evo4g awhile back, was it a Stable rom you flashed and not a nightly? maybe you should try out another rom.
I suggest trying cyanmobile. It is gingerbread based so hdmi, 4g, etc all work but it has many jb features built in. Also has a massive amount of custom settings you wont find in any rom anywhere.

my suggestion is that you should flash a different ROM and see if your Bluetooth will still work. as for the order, grab what rom you want first (make sure its for your phone HTC evo4g supersonic and not the HTC evo4g view or LTE) and depending on what version of android the rom is you need to download Gapps (this gives you the necessary apps in order to be able to sign into your gmail and download apps off the app store) from here http://goo.im/gapps choose which one the Roms Android version is and put both the rom and gapps onto your phones SD card. boot into your recovery, backup your current rom then wipe and reset. after thats done flash the rom first then after flash your Gapps and reboot and check your wifi and Bluetooth.
thank you
ty to all who helped i have fixed it
