Did you try this from the CM7 wiki or in the threads where people had wifi problems:
Q: WIFI doesn't connect properly.
A: Issue should be fixed by CM7 RC0 but if issue still persists, make sure WIFI sleep policy is set to never. If issue continues, Use a file explorer with root write capabilities, navigate to /system/etc/wifi/ and delete "wifi_supplicant.conf". Reboot, you will need to reinput your wifi passwords if you had any.

ROFL, he doesn't need to install CWM Recovery just to wipe all. He has stock recovery where he can do wipe data and cache or just put a code in the dialer.
Just shut off the phone and turn it on by pressing Home button + Power and you will get into stock recovery, then wipe data and cache.
i tried many ways like pressing the code in the dial pad, rebooting, wiping cache/data, reflashing but nothing happens

Try flashing another firmware
Sent from my GT-S5660 using xda premium
a new firmware would fix it why would u like 2.3.4 when the latest is 2.3.6, try to flash DXKT4 and then make a factory reset hope this helps
I would suggest, you give a shot to the new CyanogenMod 7.2
Follow this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1381355
I tell you, it is much more reliable than you might think. Moreover, because of the custom kernel, you can select some pre-installed CPU governor, so that your GIO become even a bit faster.
Good Luck
Hi,
First, i would like to know, you are upgrading from what firmware to what firmware? is it one package firmware or full package?
I would suggest you to flash it again, but this time, using the full package firmware. After that, don't forget to wipe data/cache, and then factory reset, all via recovery mode.
My exp about upgrading:
- from S5660DXKC3 (froyo, one package) to S5660DXKP6 (gingerbread, one package)
- unstable, lagging, wasteful of battery (bottom line is, disappointed)
Note that xkp6 2.3.6 on xda thread has been modified, on sammobile its a clean rom

Dear Friends,
I bought an "olleh" galaxy gio and updated it to 2.3.6 from Odin.
Now the"Olleh" logo do not show and in its place samsung generic logo show on startup.
Main problem is, since update, my "auto-rotate" option rotates screen in opposite directions and when switching on wifi or BT, it just shows "Error".
No detail of error is shown.
Except that everything is fine. Calling, texting and gaming...
I used the following ROM to update:
S5660XXKTF_S5660DBTKT1_S5660XXKT4_HOME.tar.md5
Please help me with WIFI as I need it very much and could save me alot.

Let me guess. You have an SHW-500 or something?!

When flashing with ODIN:
Make sure you flash the right firmware! If you flashed any firmware, it also flashes their model's and Country's: modem, csc, kernel, system, etc...
Thus resulting wifi, data, bluetooth, and connectivity errors.
Find the right Stock ROM for your Gio model here. Then use ODIN to flash it.

[Q] Ics Beta Wifi stuck authenticating.

Some1 can help me or have the same issue. I dont think its from the router cause mac filtering is turned off and using gingerbread the wifi works perfect.
Also when I press download some app from market it stucks at downloading but sometimes download never starts or the download is very very slow.
Nothing?

What kernel are you using? Dooms requires the wifi modules to be flashed.
im using the ics doomkernel. signal and 3g works ok the problem is only on wifi and when im downloading from market
I have had the same problem with acronium ICS v2 and I have solved it reinstalling the ROM without wipe, and now it works perfect.
If it's only on the market then check that the date and time are correct...
Download IcElite Beta 1 Rom. It comes with the kernel. Flash boot the kernel and install the rom. the wifi will work fine. I used to had the same problem with DoomsKernel.

[Q] WiFi don't work on any Jelly Bean Rom

every time I try to upgrade to more than CM7.2 I lose wifi
at first I thought the unofficial Rom's are very buggy
But here is Jelly Bean 4.2.2 and I'm still stuck on Gingerbread
I installed now CM10.1 VJ Jelly Bean 4.2.2 v5.1 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2070704
I tried everything , all install steps on clean full wipe (even the sd card)
I also downgrade the radio to v 5.09.05.30_2 to match the screenshot, still no wifi
I believe there is a basic step I miss
any advice will be appreciated
what happens when you turn wifi on?
Does it even try to connect?
BTW every ICS/JB ROM ive tried had working wifi.
Once however, the rom froze so i did a battery pull and on the next boot the wifi would not connect.
To fix it all i did was flash another rom.
I've tried several JB/ICS roms and never had any problems with WiFi..

yes, md5 correct and full wipe for everything
I believe the kernel/boot get with the rom
and recovery is not related
is there anything than hboot and radio to change ?
thanks for helping

Guys, I have same problem here; WiFi doesn't work on any Jelly Bean ROM (tried CM10 VJ Touchwiz 5 Jelly Bean 4.1.2 - v4.0, VJ CM10.1 | Jelly Bean 4.2.2 - v5.2 & ...). I found out that this is a problem based on WPA2 security on routers, and for a matter of fact, there is some patch for it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739097
so, the question is, if I flash this patch, will anything wrong happen? (considering this patch is under Galaxy Nexus thread). Is there a way to replace files manually (by Root Explorer or ...)?
Thank you fellas and sorry for my faulty English
P.S: I've tried Wifix, nothing happend.
Well I just flashed the patch, the problem is still on :crying: anyone any help?
The problem for me is that on any jelly bean ROM I would be able to connect to a WiFi outlet on startup but I turn it off and try to connect again some other time, there is no option to see & choose nearby WiFi outlets
Same problem here, wifi don't see even one access point on any ICS or JB rom. Probably we messed something on radio or fastboot guys.

[Q] Can someone help me fix my wifi?

About a week ago my just wifi and tether stopped working.
What happens:
When attempting to "toggle on" toggle will switch from on then back to off after several minutes sometimes the toggle will grey out
Things I have done to try to fix it:
-Factory data reset
-Reflashed ROM
-Flashed different kernals
-Flashed different radios
-Flashed different ROMS everything from cm7 to cm10 and sense based roms
Additional info:
Wifi and tether were working the night before, my battery was low so my phone died with tether still on. I plugged it in and left it alone until the next morning
ROM I was using at the time: Andromadus Mimicry 1.5 w Aero14

Are you using Tasker or anything to control wifi? And have you checked wifi on other devices, meaning have you confirmed your router is actually working? And have you restored wifi passwords using titanium? I have broken wifi restoring wifi data.

No, I still had the problem no matter what rom I used even before I could install any apps. I've checked on two different wifi networks that were confirmed to be working. My problem is my wifi won't even switch on to check for networks.

Was that no to all questions including restoring from titanium? If so, then I would say it's hardware related. If it was just a setting then flashing a new rom would fix it.

I'm no developer, so I don't claim to understand how all those things work. So maybe someone has more info that would help. But generally if something that did work just quits it means something broke.

If the wifi *never* works, it may be that your kernel driver for the wifi device is either not installed or doesn't match the current kernel. If it works some of the time then fails, it's probably broken hardware.
Fixing the kernel problem means you'll need to find a kernel update zip and flash it in recovery. See the dev forum to find one

That could be potentially great news! Is there a certain kernel I should be looking for?
The only ones I've seen are for the radio and for performance.

Gotta ask, but what radio are you using now? Flashing a rom will install the latest kernel...
Also be sure you are s-off hence flashing aeros kernel while only HTC dev unlocked will bork your wifi. What rom are you running btw?
