I'm not an absolute noob, but is it possible to bork the phone's Wi-Fi? For the last few ROMs (MikG stock, SavagedZen stock, and Deck's w/ Tiamat) Wi-Fi would turn on randomly, scan for a couple minutes, then turn off. Other times, when I would go into settings and turn on Wi-Fi, it would turn on, get IP address, then turn off.
Now, when I jumped to the newest SalvageMod w/ Godmode, when I go into settings and try to turn on Wi-Fi, it says "Error" under the word "Wi-Fi" while in settings and doesn't turn on.
I'm trying out Stock 2.2 for a while, see if it happens again. I'm just wondering at the possibility. I have updated my radio/wimax/pri/nv before, but not recently.
I have eliminated the possibility of an app, because I kept the ROMs stock just to see if it would happen. And it did.
Any help would be appreciated.
While rooted, had you used wireless tether at any point? Also when flashing between roms, did you do a full wipe?
I always wipe 3 times between ROMs, volume buttons are worn out haha. Don't use Titanium backup, I always do fresh installs. Wireless Tether did come with MikG I think, I never have installed it from the market.
Router's good, I tested it at home and at Starbucks and a lakehouse.
Alrighty, well I ask because if wireless tether starts with errors, it'll break wifi and you have to reboot. Also did you use any custom kernels?

Correct, therefore you may want to uninstall the Wireless Tethering app and just use the Sprint Hotspot (which is hacked). This has also happened to me before.
MikG 2.2 with stock, SavagedZen with stock, Deck's w/ Tiamat, and SalvageMod 1.3 w/ Godmode. Problems started around the MikG time (not blaming the ROM)
Oh, and I never used Wireless Tether
What recovery are you using, because it almost seems like you just have bad wipes, since you did everything right.
AmonRa 2.3, I wipe 3x by hand (data, cache, dalvik, sdext, android.secure, system, boot, factory reset) and use Virus's Superwipe.
I could reflash AmonRa again, if you think that would help

Well I would try to reflash it, and see what happens.
The problem persisted in 2.2, so I flashed AmonRa as a PC36IMG. I wiped everything I could except SD card 3x, and installed the new Director's Cut. It now has returned to its old problem of turning on, scanning, then off.

Try switching kernels. Also you're sure you have the right wep key if its encrypted? it'll do that if its the wrong code, scan, disconnect, and repeat.
I flashed back to an older radio and then back to the newest one. Wi-Fi magically just worked again! Everything else but Wi-Fi worked, that's odd, I had downloaded it from the same place.
It is working now on Director's Cut, going to try it on an AOSP ROM and see what happens.. thanks for the help! I'll hit my thanks button on my way
Hello,
My Droid Incredible can not connect to 3G nor can it connect to 1X. Luckily, I can still receive calls and sms. A couple of days ago, I upgraded from CM 7.0.2 or 7.0.3 to CM 7.1 RC1. A couple of hours later, I installed Synergy, wiping the cache and dalvik and data in the process. After a day of having that rom restart every 30 minutes or so, I restored the backup I had made of CM 7.1, without wiping the cache, dalvik, and data. I then noticed that I could not connect to 3G and to 1X. I thought I might just be in a dead zone, even though I have never had connectivity issues, so I didn't worry about it. Then, I noticed the same thing at my work, and anywhere I went no connectivity. I tried flashing a different kernel, Chad's incredikernel, 2.6.38.8, but that didn't work either. Any suggestions?
You need to install either liberation or the rooted leaked ota, set it up, then do *228 option 1, reboot *228 option 2. Then go back and reinstall fresh your cm7. I would fully wipe both installs, which means going to mounts and storage and wiping boot, dara, system, and cache. You have remnents of synergy on your phone. You need a real good wipe.
Thanks for the quick reply. I'm going to try that right now.
Let me know if that works. You may want to download vr superwipe.zip and keep it on your sd card to flash right before the rom, its what i use everytime. If ive helped you please hit the thanks button! Gracias
I only installed up to the root leaked ota and it works fine now. I actually think that the phone is faster with the ota than any other rom I've tried so I'm going to stay with that at least until I get home from my work.
The ota is smoking, it is what i use also.

I have started having a wifi problem. Everything looks to be connected and working properly (ie. status shows wifi, wifi settings show connected to my router with IP address), but I can't access the internet. If I toggle airplane mode, it will work. It will work fine, but will stop working again after asleep for some unknown time. I am currently running EL26 modem with Calkulin ROM 2.7 with the original kernel. I suspect the modem. I can't pinpoint when the problem started, but I think it was after I started flashing modems from my OTA EK02. I have restored ROMs that I know worked and now have the same problem. I have reflashed EK02, EL13, and EL26 to no avail. I restored to my current setup and did factory reset, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik. no good. I would prefer to avoid, but next step is to go back to EK02 OTA and start over slowly and proceed forward. Any ideas?
Edit:
I have corrected my problem, but have no idea what the problem was. I odined back to EG30. I was prompted for the OTA and took it. I did one root and installed EK02 stock+CWM. Installed a couple of my key apps and backed up. Rebuilt my system a couple apps at a time. Got everything working in this stock as possible environment. Once I confirmed no problems including wifi, I backed up again. I then restored my Calk 2.7 rom. I have been running with no problems for a couple days. My conclusion is a bad modem flash. I flashed modems from Calkulin's and qbking's threads. I am leery of flashing modems, but at least I have a pretty easy way back. Before I forge forward, I am going to delete all my modem zips. What is the best source for modem zips?
Hello,
I have owned a Sprint Galaxy S III since August of 2012 and have been using it pretty much flawlessly until this week.
To give some history, I rooted it once it became a common thing to do and have CWM-based Recovery v5.5.0.4.
I have loaded many different roms - cyanogenmods, m.o.a.r., wicked, miui to try out and many others and have never had an issue.
I recently upgraded to M.O.A.R. v 6.0 at home and everything seemed great - loaded apps, settings, etc. The next day on the way to work, the phone restarted by itself. I thought was strange but chalked it up to a new rom issue. When I got to work, the frequency of the issue increased to the point that the phone was no longer usable as it would just continue to restart, boot, etc.
Restoring the rom I previously had did nothing to help the issue.
I looked up online at possibilities and came across the SD card issue. I replaced it, but still occurs. I've tried a few different roms and no matter what, it seems to continuously boot and restart based on certain locations that I am in or am passing through.
Today, I turned off 4G LTE as preferred mobile network and it seemed to keep the phone on. I have not done extensive testing, but could this be an issue? I am able to use 4G LTE at home with no problem as well as other areas, but it seems that once I am in or pass through certain locations, that it is crashing my phone? Maybe the GPS?
Are there any tips or suggestions of what I can do or try? I am at a loss as to how to fix this when it has not been an issue up until this week after flashing to MOAR v6.0. I've wiped data, cache, dalvik, many times and retried but still is happening.
Any feedback would be much appreciated.
At first it sounded like sudden death syndrome (a power button failure) but when you said turning off 4G fixed it that is very weird. Have you tried asking in the M.O.A.R thread?

Could be your kernel. Or any kernel tweaks you are using

Are you restoring any System Data ? I would suggest doing a Clean install. Meaning a FULL Wipe : System - Data - Dalvik - Dalvik Cache - Factory Reset ( 3x's ) . I also like to wipe Internal Storage. But that's up to you. Then Flash the Rom, and let it Boot. Do not load anything, or tweak anything. Just leave the device alone for the first 5min. Then test it to be sure everything is working correctly before loading apps, or doing any settings.
Just to update...
I clean installed MOAR 6 again - this time I upgraded CWM to latest version. I clean wiped data/cache, cache, dalvik about 3 or 4 times. Once it reinstalled, I noticed the data wasn't working at all so I did that ##72786# (forgot numbers off top of head) that reactivated phone. The data came back and I thought this was going to solve all the issues...keep in mind I did all this in the evening from home last night.
On the way to work this morning, sure enough once I got in the vicinity of work, phone restarted a few times. I was quick enough to catch it one time to turn preferred mobile networks to 3G first and disable 4G... my phone has not restarted for the rest of the day.
It's great that it seems the issue is isolated to 4G, but I don't understand how it can be fine in some areas and not in others. For instance, at home, 4G works just fine.
I think I will try to go back to stock or try an aosp rom. I've seen in some places talk of MB1 and MD4...is there a way to tell which I have or is that related to anything?

Actually, yes - I have been putting my gmail account information in and it has been syncing the apps. It's just so odd because I haven't had issues for over a year and I don't recall installing any new stuff.
well, now it happened at home when turning on 4g... damn.

You did not mention wiping system. If you do not Wipe system, and also Factory Reset then it's really not a Clean install. I would still suggest a FULL Wipe, and Clean install. Then run the Device for a while without adding anything. See how it performs.
I ended up just flashing this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1904099 to stock with flash reset.
I am not sure about wiping system - I always just follow the steps of the rom wipe data/cache/dalvik. I will have to research on how to wipe system.
If you never wipe system you are definitely going to run into problems.

You just do it in Recovery before you flash. If you look at my Sig on a PC / Internet Mode there is a link on how to do Full Wipe before flashing a Rom.

MikROMs Since 3/13/11
I'm having a lot of trouble with my S2 right now. I've been running CM10 since I got it with no trouble at all. I updated to 11 when it came out, again with no problems. Basically what happened is I flashed the stock ROM so I could use the video camera, then just restored back to CM through recovery when I was done. I did that two or three times, then suddenly I have no mobile data on any custom ROM, OR on the stock ROM I made a backup for. Voice and text works fine, just no data, either 3G or 4G.
I eventually un-rooted and went completely back to stock, and that got data working. I rooted and got recovery installed, and everything's still working fine. But, no matter if I try to install Cyanogen fresh, or try to restore a backup, I don't get mobile data. If I restore a backup of the last stock ROM, data works fine. From inside the stock rom, I did a master reset and updated PRL and profile.
Does anyone have a clue as to what I'm doing wrong?
Okay, I noticed that my MEID and some other parameters were 'unknown', which according to Google can mean a bad modem. So I flashed a new one, and all is well.
