[Q] Rooted Evo 4g Wifi Won't Connect - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I'm having more problems with my freshly rooted Evo 4g.... I'm still running the Decks Reloaded rom however I did a fresh install and removed the fancy launcher that you can load with it which helped my phone to run a lot smoother and faster but all of a sudden my wifi won't connect to my home network. It cycles through obtaining an IP address then says it's not in range even though my phone is sitting right next to it. I rooted my bf's phone yesterday loaded the same decks reloaded rom on his and his wifi is working just fine.... I tried Wifi fxr from the market place but no luck. I need help this is driving me crazy.

Update to my problem I have no 4g as well.... so frustrated right now.

happened to me once on a different rom--what i did was enable wifi and powered off, when I rebooted everything was fine

What sezzme said could work. If not, its not your phone, its the ROM probably and if your having issues with a lot of ROMs, MAKE SURE YOUR SD CARD IS PARTITIONED

Thanks guys I'll try that.... I went back to my clean working nandroid backup did a good solid wipe then reloaded the rom. Wifi was working and then I had to reboot my phone (I can't remember why...) and then it quit working again. I'll try your suggestion and if that doesn't work well then I guess I'll try another rom.

When you say my sd card should be partitioned does that mean I should format it and then partition it???
Also just tried to turn on the wifi and reboot the phone that didn't work.

Yes. For 2 months i wasn't partitioned, and certain files when flashing ROM's and files, require a partition or something along those lines, Its just how it operates in a way. After i partitioned, my issues went away completely. Idk the specifics though.
Anyways, drag and drop your personal files from your phone, look up a partition guide, and knock yourself out, then wipe and reflash.

Great I'll give that a try.

just remember.. .just because that rom works on your bf's phone doesn't mean it will work on your phone.. .even though they are both evos, they may not work the same with custom roms

My WiFi connection seems to go sour every now and then. It LOOKS connected but nothing works. I turn WiFi off and on again, and everything is fine.
No obvious issues apart from that.

Go back to v 5.0?
Flash another Rom??
I had an issue similar to this a while back, I suggest running scandisk or similar on your SD card. It worked for me.
The problem is in your microSD.
Format it and make a new partition!

try to format your sdcard to another phone. in my case on my blackbery.. formating sdcard on PC IMHO doesn't erease your partition. i have 2,63GB left aftere format on PC and about 3,xxx(i can't remember) after format from my blackberry
I had this problem. Had 5.3 on my phone and no matter what i did. None of the apps i downloaded would install, There was no APN list and if i did add a new APN it just wouldn't save and it was way way too buggy so i went straight back to DeFroST for reliability and all my problems were gone straight away.

I had the same problem. I flashed 5.3 ROM with standard sense theme without wipe on 5.2 with expresso theme.
I reflashed with 5.3 expresso theme without any wipe and all went fine.

System UIDs are Inconsistent

I have a T-Mobile G2, rooted, running MIUI on the phone and GingerVillain on the sd card via boot manager. Everything has been running perfect, no errors or issues or anything like that with either rom except facebook wouldn't install on GV, but I wasn't worried about it because I wasn't going to be using GV as my daily driver. The most recent, and probably only change in a while was that I installed the new facebook IM app on MIUI? I also updated MIUI a few days ago, but that was long before any of this happened.
Last night my phone was working fine, drove my wife to work this morning and I was using google music and streaming was working fine, then I got home and turned on my hotspot to get on my laptop and my data isn't working. So I tried booting GV to see if it worked there and I get a message "System UIDs Inconsistent" and it basically told me I needed to wipe my phone for everything to work right? I really don't want to have to do this.
I've uninstalled the rom on my SD Card, fixed permissions, wiped dalvik, reflashed miui, just about everything I can think of.
Any other suggestions?
BTW 2G data is working. Just everything else that wont work. I see in my status bar that its uploading but not downloading -_-

[Q] bluetooth fails to enable

Hi,
Im really hoping someone can help me here.
Yesterday my phone threw a wobbly and started to loop boot to the htc logo, it had happened before but i payed little attention. When i removed the battery to reset it i found that it had corrupted my whole sd card, stange file names etc was everywhere.
i decided it was time for a clean start and super wiped the lot then installed arhd,
everything went fine until i went to use bluetooth, nothing i say or do will enable it.
Ive since have wiped and flashed leedroid, arhd, and runny but cant get this little but one of the most used features on my phone to activate.
Ive also reflashed the radio, does it sound like a hard ware failure to you guys?
is there anything that i could have missed, i would also like to add that i havent re installed any previous apps etc and bluetooth still fails to activate.
thanks
sorry to reply to my own thread, but i think i just worked it out. After reading my own post i though about the sd card, i decided to remove the card and reboot, voilia!! the bluetooth is now functioning!!, totally confused now as to why an sd card can affect the running of a seperate piece of hardware!!
ok, it happened again a few time since i posted this thread.
it happened again yesterday and no matter what i done it wouldnt come back.
So i decided to do a nandroid backup and wipe, install a new rom then recover my nandroid backup.
this solved the problem, im not sure what is causing the bluetooth to just die like it does but now i have to keep another rom on my card and a nandroid back up just to get the bluetooth to work- seems strange as the backup is the same drivers etc and stops working. must be hardware...
this dosnt seem to be rom specific as well as its happened now on leedroid, runny, 3dmix, and anotherone i forget the name.
roll on htc edge as im pretty sure i may have a impending hardware failure on the bluetooth radio

[Q] CM7 Random Reboot and RE Setup Issue

Hi,
I am having a really odd and very frustrating issue with the latest CM7 Stable Build on my device.
I have been using the latest stable since its release back in November.
I ensured a clean wipe and install of CM 7.1.0.1 and setup my phone accordingly and Nandroid Back Up around a Week later as the Device was behaving as intended.
Sadly, I am now plagued with the following issue which occurs without any common trigger....
I will be using the device which will be behaving normally and it will suddenly, normally when screen is off... reboot and enter a Boot Loop (CM7 Robot will either be frozen solid or will keep rebooting to CM7 Robot) which seems to continue until a battery pull.
I will then restart the device and it sometimes boots straight away though sometimes hangs for a while. Once booted it boot to the 'Setup your device' Screen, from which point onwards you are required to Re-Enter your Logins for Google and such like. All settings and sync profiles are normally missing/deleted so requires setting up of all apps requiring logins etc.
As you can imagine, the above is quite an inconvenient as it normally happens when I actually need to use the device
I have tried reinstalling a clean CM7 over the top as well as wiping and formatting the SD card.
Neither seem to have solved the issue.
Any help anyone can give would be greatly appreciated.
It is also worth noting that while the device will charge off USB, it will not allow usb tethering or any form of USB Mounting etc.
Cheers
Jason

cm7 issues.
sounds like your in quite a pickle my friend.
i used to get your reboot issues (the bootloops) but that was because my phone was overclocked to over 700. i never got the setup device screen though.
when you say youve tried a clean install over cm7 have you factory reset the device as well as deleteing the dalvik cache??
also my sound stupid but have you tried your backup to see if it starts again??
it sounds like something has became quite corrupted.
have you installed any new apps recently or changed anything in the system files of the phone?
also when you have to go through the set up are all your apps still there afterwards? And when you first flashed it did the tethering work at all?

Yup and while it does restore to a point where I can use my phone quite quickly after however I'm very cautious after - typically it happens a couple of weeks later

No real new recent apps installed and no mods to the system files that I can recall.

All my apps are still installed but many apps require re-setup or accounts for sync require re-adding. Phonebook requires import of contacts however messages remain in place.
I can't recall I think it did or at least USB-Storage did
Do you have a SD ext partition?
I ask because I had similar problems (randomly losing data) with an ext 4 partition, repartitioning my card using ext 3 solved it, also put your dalvik cache and data back into phone memory if it isn't already as that can also cause instability.

Try this....
Run an RUU for wildfire.
- Download (RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.14.405.2_R_C_Radio_13.45.55.24 _ 3.35.15.19_release_141106_signed) from android forums.
- Connect phone to PC and run RUU
- This downgrads phone OS to eclair (android 2.1)
- Let it do the bizniss
- Re-root with unrevoked 3
- Re-Flash CM7 and gApps
Many thanks Scratch and Arkose,
Since my post last week I have since formatted the SD Card as well as Wiping the Phone as much as possible.
I then flashed and installed the latest CM7 Stable, Radio Package as well as re-setting up the EXT Partition this time as Type 3.
Once up and running I reinstalled all Apps.
Seems to be running okay so far.
Long may it last hopefully.
If not will try last suggesion
Great stuff. Let us know how it goes

A quick update...
Still having issues
I'm noticing that randomly phone process will crash for no apparent reason/cause, normally when off Wifi and on Mobile Data.
Last night was the worst its even been though... at a critical moment when I needed the phone to work... it decided it was having none of it.
Phone kept switching Airplane Mode On and Off causing process.android.com to crash along with most other services So I rebooted only to find that it now was either stuck in Airplane Mode or couldnt enable to Radio (No Phone Signal at all) so I did a battery pull while trying to walk home in the pitch black and rebooted.
The Saga continued even after a battery pull, I eventually as I got in the door was able to use the 'Torch' and recieve a phonecall before all the processes crashed once more...
So I did a battery pull, left the phone for five mins and rebooted. All was well for a while, enabled Wifi, phone seemed happy.
Had to reboot a short while ago, after recieiving a phonecall and text.... grrr... anyone have any suggestions?
I had problem with process restarting. Adw launcher process I downloaded Go Launcher ex I have no problems now.

[Q] Can't turn wifi on. Tried with 5.1 and 4.4.4

I should mention that this phone is not mine and it was brought to me to fix. It could not get past the samsung bootup animation screen.
So I installed TWRP 2.8.6.0 and wiped everything. Then the first rom I flashed was [ROM][5.1.1][AOSPA] ParanoidAndroid 5.1 (5/21/2015) Then flashed gapps 5-22-15 from euroskank/banks. I wiped dalvik & cache (Is this necessary?) and rebooted.
The intro screen did not let me skip the wifi connecting part (I thought it was a bug in that version) and it told me to turn on wi-fi to connect.
So I tried the same thing with the version before that and it let me skip. After that I managed to turn it on once? But it the phone crashed and soft rebooted.
I tried other 5.1 roms and the wifi doesn't work still. It doesn't let me turn it on. Same with 4.4.4 with cm11. Also, the Wi-Fi MAC address says unavailable. Don't think that's supposed to happen?
Does anyone have a fix?
Edit: I took out the SIM card to see if that did anything. Then all of a sudden the grayed out On button turned blue and wifi networks appeared... But I couldn't do anything else since it made me restart. It stopped working after a reboot :/ Tried it several more times and couldn't get it to do the same thing..

Hope you had read the posts, it should had said the Rom is not "stable"
If your friend are going use their phone for daily driver, then I recommend you not have the 5.1 Roms for now because it's not really suitable for that right now.....
I'm not sure the CM11 you have flashed is unoffical or is offical. Offical onces are still work in progress and have most of the things broke (I think)
Here is a Kitkat Rom for SGH-T989
If your friend really wanted to have a Lollipop running on his/her phone, then I will recommend this one. Make sure you read the instruction CAREFULLY if you do wanted to install this one since it's a bit complicated with it's "virtual partition"
Or, if you wanted it to be just stock. Odin it back to normal, here is a instruction (with video too).
This is all the possible way to fix your friend's phone that I can think of, if you have encounter any error or have anymore question, feel free to reply :fingers-crossed::good::highfive:
P.S: yes, wiping dalvik & cache is a way to prevent any error caused by another old Rom if you decided to flash a new one. It's a good way to prevent error during Rom flash process
Thanks! I'll try the 4.4.4 rom you sent me. I'll post an update when I get to it.
Uh and about the 5.1 you linked. For the virtual repartition part in his post, I couldn't open the phone's internal storage on the computer after formatting it to ext4. So I'm confused about that step.

For the virtual partition, it's best for you to have it on the External SD card. Since TWRP transporting file to Internal Storage after that seems bugged (not working)
