wifi broken, cant scan or connect to wifi - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I purchased it with a bad esn off ebay just to play around with and use as an mp3 player. Wifi was working fine, i rooted it, still working fine... then I decide to do a factory reset to get ride of the previous users information. Now It cant scan or connect to any networks. What did I do wrong ? T_T
did a few more factory resets and rooted it again with this tutorial, wifi still doesnt work.
why do i break things?
kernel version:2.6.35.7
build number: gingerbread.el29
hardware ver: D710.10

What I would do is root using the method that is sticky in the DEVELOPMENT section. The DEV's handle is Sfth or something like that. If you are already rooted go ahead and find his thread for STOCK ROOTED EL29. You will have to do this through ODIN not through CWM.

Brianhot1, you saved the day for me. I too was having the same Wifi problem. Your link to replace the Kernel worked for me. I can't thank you enough.

I know im a few months late but wanted to share my problem and fix as there were only three forums about failure to scan wifi networks. I could connect if i knew the SSID to add, but could not scan for available networks. I deleted the file data/misc/wifi/bcm_supp.conf which probably would have worked had that been my problem. My problem was I revoked LOCATION privileges to settings in App Ops. Apparently settings needs location privilege to scan for wifi networks!

[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...

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 :/ ....

Put the stock ROM on the phone, do a factory reset. If this doesn't fix your problem then maybe you need to call Samsung as you have a HW issue.

flashed the stock rom still no change the wifi isn't working.
somebady have other ideas????
It sounds like a hardware problem
have you tested other devices on your wifi network .....
If it was just not connecting to your network . That would be fixable. But since even on the stock rom . It will not even turn on
Deffinately a hardware problem. Take it back to the store you bought it from.

[Q] Xperia play wifi annoying !

Hi, I'm new here!
Hope this site gives a lot of insight into my android device
My Xperia play wifi does Not want to work at all. I have been using it since october last year and the wifi worked fine. But now if I turn it on, it doesnt scan for anything! No networks, routers, ANYTHING!
It also turns on a off automatically without me turning it off.
Please can someone help me
Thanks
Are you running any custom ROMs or kernels? Model of your phone? Give us a little more background info.
If you haven't flashed a custom kernel/rom it's probably an application you have installed (battery saver or something). This should be in the Q&A section, btw.
Everything on the phone is stock form. Kernels, ROMS all standard. The phone wifi can turn on but scans nothing and then switches off automatically no apps are installed to support the battery, wifi etc (sorry for not including that)
Build number: 4.0.2.A.0.69
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9-perf

Try reflashing your firmware using flash tool or seeing as its a stock rom try the repair my phone option in Sony PC Companion?
Hi guys, any other ways of assisting my problem
Have you tried checking the wifi somewhere else? maybe its your router. If worst comes to worst try resetting it.
When I got mmine the same thing happenned. App it had a prob with my wpa psk security setting. Changed router to wep and problem solved. Try it. Click thanks if it helps
Can rooting the phone repair the wifi problem?
Someone has told me that downgrading software can be done but I have to flash the phone. I was also told that the wifi problem can be a hardware problem. Any help will be greatly appreciated
Try to reflash stock firmware using Sony PC Companion first. It's official Sony software and you will not break rules of warranty.
I done that and sorted few problems.

Same for me - no such (or other) WiFi issues at all.
Probably caused by a hardware defect?! Have you tried a hard-reset?
I have the same software and problem with wifi and mobile network too.
It has started after last software update.
My solution is:
settings->about->software updates->scheduled check unchecked
After that phone works as usual.
yes, i did hard reset (restore factory setting), but with no luck.
Exactly, after last update which comes with HD media link this issue started...
thank you bouth for replay i ll try uncheck this automatic sw update check. hope it ll work..
well..."settings->about->software updates->scheduled check unchecked" doenst work for me....!! :-////
I am having the exact same problem.
Occured after installing the new update.
A hard/factory reset did not help.
This evening I will try to connect to another WiFi network to see if it only happens at my home network.
I hope that HTC will release an update very soon that fixes this problem/bug.
Wrong section...Please keep all question/help related threads in the Q&A section. Thank You.
Thread Moved.

"If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice"~Rush
Sent from my HTC One X, using XDA Premium.
well...we all know that issue started after last update, but why only few people have this problem...its like only 1 of 100(or 1000?). It sounds strange to me if 99% are ok with their one v and 1% have this issue...:-//
I almost managed to solve my problem.
Here, at home, I have a normal laptop (this one) and a small netbook (for music). Both are on WiFi. Right now I have my normal laptop on WiFi + the phone on WiFi. As soon as I boot up the netbook and as soon as it connects to WiFi too my phone starts rebooting.
I also noticed that this problem did not occur on another WiFi network that I was connected to earlier. Basically it seems to interfere with my netbook. I assume they are on the same IP address. Therefore I will give them both unique fixed addresses and it is likely that the problem is solved with that.
Thank you for your observation, im testing it right now so i hope it will solve this problem once for all.
Edit: well...no luck... i fix ip for my phone and since then(3 minutes) i restart twice...it even worse at all ((
After a while mine started rebooting again as well.
Since I did not have this problem on another WiFi network I really think it is some sort of setting in my Router. Even applying MAC addresses as a filter in the router for each connecting device does not help.
Hopefully someone with more knowledge of routers is able to find a solutions.
For what it's worth, I'm on a Huawei hg655d. I was unable to find firmware updates or downloads anywhere.
its look like we are getting somewhere...im also using Huawei but model no. HG622u.
would be nice to know if all users are using this piece of junk too and it cause our problems...
ok your rooted right? do you have the android sdk installed? if so run this
adb logcat -d > logcat.txt
(it will save in platform-tools in the android folder)
also make sure android debugging is switched on in your phone..and after the reboot happens upload the logcat.txt here. we can have a look at whats causing the problem
Hello Lloir. My phone is not rooted. Everything is original. Have not rooted it and I am not planning on rooting it either.
Being that ovik88 also has a Huawei router I think that the router really is the problem here.

i just remembered i dont think you need to be rooted, just go into development tools and enable usb debugging and follow what i said above
yup im not rooted either.
ok ill give a try..give me a sec to another self "unwantad" reboot
edit:deleted
well i found adb and writ the line but it save just txt right now stat isn it? but if it restart its not includet in there right?
some logs
here i get 3 logs hope there will be something useful...
I was unable to do that - no idea how to do that. But perhaps ovik88's logs will prove to be useful!
So far I have not been able to figure out what the problem is. I figure I'll just don't go on WiFi and wait for a software update. My data plan is fine.
Still, I wonder what it is that my phone doesn't like about this WiFi network. It's secured with WPA2 and what-not.

[Q] Obtaining ip...

Hello!
I've been searching for a long time about this issue but I haven't found aan answer...
I have a rooted GN with original rom and recovery. Yesterday I wiped the phone and now I'm not able to connect to any wifi network.
The phone is always "obtaining ip...". And that's all.
I also have a Nexus S and one computer connected to my wifi and they are working fine.
I also tried to connect to another wifi and the result was the same..
Before yesterday I had no problem, even with the phone rooted.
My android version is 4.2.2.
I tried to reset my router (Netgear), tried all security options (open, wep, wap2, etc).
I have no mac filter... I think I already tried all the "logic" options but I always get the same
I start thinking the problem can be android 4.2but I don't know what is whatt I'm doing wrong.
Thank in advance for any help!
Best regards
Flash a factory build to your device to isolate it as software related.
I had a similar issue with a tplink router, now i have a asus and the issues are gone.

That's an odd problem.
You already downgraded, so there is no scope for trouble shooting.
