I recently noticed my wifi will not work or turn on. Running latest version of DIET ICS rom. I go to settings and hit the slider and it says "turning on..." but never does. I even tried flashing back to the stock rom and it still will not work. How can I fix this and get my wifi back?
Anybody? Please help I really need my wifi to work again.
Did you have another rom installed before DietICS? If so it is probably a lethal issue. Just flash the stock kernel again.

Yes I flashed a couple other roms before dietICS. How to I go about flashing the stock kernel again? I downloaded the kernel from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737848 and just tried to install the zip from cwm but it failed.
Do I have to use odin?
nvm. grabbed the one from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1768826
worked like a charm.
Thanks!
I've been trying out multiple ICS ROMS for my R800x (FXP, AOKP, CM9, PlAyOPS and maybe something else, I've lost track) and I can only get the WiFi to turn on with PlAyOPS ROM. It's not a connection issue, I cannot actually get the WiFi to switch on, the slider is grayed out and it won't even slide over to the on position. I've tried the WiFi fix zips that are brought up on the ROM specific threads to no avail. I think I've tried every kernal/ROM/WiFi fix combination that I've come across. I'm currently using Keiran's 2.6.32.9 Darkforest kernal but I have also tried the FXP kernal and the LuPus v3 kernal.
The reason I'm not just sticking to the PlAy OPS ROM is that I use the bluetooth audio feature quite frequently in both my cars and it doesn't work correctly on PlAyOPS. I was able to get the bluetooth audio to work on FXP and, if I remember correctly CM9. I haven't tried bluetooth audio on AOKP yet. If I could get the WiFi to work on either of these ROMS I would be extremely happy.
I've been searching the internet and scouring this forum for a fix for my issue for nearly a month but I cannot find a solution for my specific problem. I greatly appreciate any assistance!

Back up data, flash back to stock rom, install kernel, wipe data, cache &dalvic cache in recovery mode, re-install CM9 with the included FXP kernel and that should be it.

when you say install kernel, which kernel am i installing? the stock kernel or the FXP? when i re-install CM9 don't I have to install the FXP kernel first or will it automatically do it for me when i re-install CM9?

ok. thanks. Just as a clarification to the first part of the original response, I am installing the original stock kernel after i flash back to the stock ROM?
well, i went back to stock, flashed the kernal, wiped all my data, flashed the FXP kernal then re-installed FXP with no luck. I tried flashing the wifi zips after than without success. i guess i'm stuck with what i have unless there's something else i could try.

What version of FXP are you using, and what are the wifi zips called that you're using?

i used FXP 132. I know it's not the latest but I'm sure that it was when I downloaded it a month ago. The zips were cleverly named wififix2, WiFi_FiX_LuPuSv3 and the other was CDMA_mega_fix_v2_by_Leraeniesh. The last one had a WiFi fix in it by Atarii or someone like that.
had the same problem on my play (GSM version) here is what i did. and im sure it will work for you. flash the latest FTF for your device (Baseband).
when done Put the CM 9 Kernal on the phone. Boot in to recovery. do a factory reset. flash the CM 9 reboot and you are good to go.

i've done that twice now. this has been extremely frustrating. i don't know why the wifi will work without fail on one ROM but not work at all on others.
just to make sure i'm doing this correctly. After I flash the original FTF am I flashing the CM9 kernel directly after that? Do I have to restore the original kernel at all?
Speaking of wifi problem I cant get wifi to work on GB tweaked running doomkernel V2.....odd.

did this work? i have the latest PACman JB rom for the r800x and im using the lupus v5 kernel that came with it. for some reason all the other roms have working wifi except cyanogenmod based roms....... why is this?
I really wanna use this kernel/custom kernels, but I give up! Constant force closing and crashes for me Now I'm wondering, did I do something wrong during the root process? I rooted my device a couple weeks ago using this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1771687 (Root without tripping flash counter), followed by flashing Team Sonic's TouchWiz Rom, and then now, recently as of a little over a week ago I started using Cyanogen Mod 10. Did I miss a step in between which is causing so many problems with installing a custom kernel on my phone? Lean kernel worked earlier around the 8/20-25 nightlies, but now everything's pretty much a bust

No you didn't do anything wrong. A lot of the kernels aren't updated as fast as kernel changes in CM. Have you tried the latest nightly with the latest LK?

I've tried all the latest kernels. Every kernel I've tried is compatible with the ROM I've tried it on.

if it was me, which btw am running CM10/LeanKernel, I would use odin to flash back to a rooted stock app, then install NEWEST CWM, and try again, I have had no issues EVER using the combo's that you are using. Also, I NEVER flash a kernel on a new rom until the rom has booted correctly, then reboot and flash whatever compatible kernel.
Good Luck.

Okay I'll do that, but tell me this. How did you come to CM10 exactly? What steps did you do? I want to see if you did something different from me and I may have sent wrong somewhere.
I simply rooted installed freegs3, wiped data and caches and all, then I flashed cm10. Was that the wrong way? Should I go back to stock and restart the process? Because right now for one, custom kernels are giving me strange issues. Also, a ktoonz kernel dev told me my log cat pointed towards corrupt partition or Rom, but I'm using cm10
How do I go back to stock basically? Can you link me to some guides and/or videos? I'm on the T-Mobile galaxy s3. The reason I ask is because I'm mobile and can't search for some reason but I'd like to read up on it before I do it

I started here, READ EVERY LINE in a separate window, so you can reference back in forth between the windows. And do it STEP BY STEP. Once you are rooted and using the stock rom, back that up, so you can revert back to if you crash, once you have those 2 done, get the newest copy of Clockwork, install it. (by the way, the flash counter will tick you using Odin) so make sure you wipe the tick counter before installing any custom roms. Now get CM10 from the thread, install, do not flash the kernel until you have booted the first time, then reboot to recovery and flash kernel of choice. then your set. Now these are MY DIRECTIONS ONLY! and worked for me. So anyone want to add, feel free, or if I missed something, but do NOT slam me for trying to help, again this worked for me, may not for others, but it has been flawless for me. Hope this helps good luck.

Thanks for the input! I just wiped everything properly, other than odining back to stock again because that wasn't really necessary I thought since I did everything right, maybe? Well, I don't know lol. I don't have time to go back to stock atm, so I wiped all things including external/internal sd, used superwipe and just flashed a touchwiz rom, by xquizit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1843409 UVALH2 and flashed the kernel for touchwiz by ktoonz and it is running smooth and solid. So, now, I'm going to go back and flash CM from scratch superwiping and all because I have now confirmed ktoonz's kernels work, and for some odd reason it wasn't working with my CM setup, so I'm going try it again from start and see if it works on CM, and go from there. I'll report back either ways in case anyone is having this problem. If I still have the same issue back on CM, I'll live with it or come back to touchwiz. I kinda like it Weird. Haha, but either ways, I'll keep yall updated! I'm wondering if I need to/should flash the UVALH2 radio/baseband since I"m on a UVALH2 ROM though.
Use this kernel it works perfectly on CM10

Now I am a tad confused, you have UVALH2 on the phone already, and you want to flash UVALH2? or did you typo? I am no dev, but from what I have been seeing, the radio should not matter at the moment, if I am wrong, someone please set me straight, also, I will be on the web all night and tomorrow, so I will help where ever I can, I will check here for your progress. Good luck my friend.
BTW, I do not like stock roms, so to me CM10 is for sure better. Faster also.
There is no wrong way to root. I bought my phone, didn't even set it up. Downloaded the toolkit, rooted and flashed a custom recovery, then flashed CM10. You didn't miss any steps, and you didn't do anything in the wrong order.
Your radio and ROM do NOT have to match.

Yeah, I know all this, but I wanted to ask in case I may have missed something. Even when you're pretty Android savvy when it comes to rooting and whatnot, you do miss things on occasion. In this instant I didn't, but I was hoping I did because a bunch of custom kernels won't work on my phone with CM10! Trinity worked well, so I'm waiting for those. It must be some specific chip related issue because I'm not the only one. Anyways, thanks everyone!
Looks like i flashed a wrong kernel or wrong wifi modules but the problem is now and after flashing stock kernel my wifi is not working; it works for a second and stays several minutes showing it's connected but no data sent or received...
please how can i wipe everything and get it back to work?!

Please search before asking here. There are many ways to restore a phone back to its original state.
Use Flashtool, please search for a guide on XDA or Google it.

i have this problem AFTER flashing the stock ROM
Hello everyone,
I finally could flash my first custom kernel (LuPuS-GBv7-full), but now each time i turn on my phone, it boots into recovery mode. When the lupus bootscreen pops up, the phone vibrates twice, the blue light turns on, then off, then the phone goes into recovery. I have searched for a solution but none works. Please help me out with this one, i cant use my phone at all.
Thanks in advance
Did you wiped system and data partition from fastboot when you flashed lupus kernel? Iit is written in kernel thread with big red "important" word. Then flash your rom from recovery.
Also, did you flashed proper stock firmware first? .62 or. 79
You could always flash stock firmware with flashtool to get working phone

First of all, thank you very much for your reply, it help me a lot and calmed me down in a moment of despair (noob here as you may have already guessed).
Didn't answer right away to try out the stuff you told me and learn some more before asking again.
What I did was this (acording to the thread of the rom i want to install http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219154):
- Flashed Lupus GB with flashtools
- Boot into recovery
- Wipe data and factory reset
- Wipe Dalvik cache
- Flash the rom (AtoMic GB 7.0 - PLAY r2) I could not flash the device patch and wifi modules as instructed because couldnt find them in the thread.
- Reboot
What I get now is the phone booting into the system, but there is only a black screen with the status bar showing the battery meter, a non functioning wifi icon and the clock. The notifications area works when i drag it down, also the volume with sound and power button. There is nothing else, no app drawer, no icons, nothing.
I even tried the previous steps first flashing this stock rom Xperia Play_3.0.1.B.0.285_AT&T (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1768599), to get the same results.
My phone is a R800at, if this matters.
I kindly ask again for help to get the rom working propperly.
Thanks to your advice I could get my phone working again with a stock rom, but I really, really want to get this working, I dont like the stock rom, like most people around here dont, I suppose.
Thanks again
You are doing things right, but black screen means launcher doesn't work, but it's ROM related problem. I can't help you there much because i never used that rom.
You should try other roms. You could download few of them, place on sdcard and test and see wich one suit your taste.
I can only help you with few tips in problems that you could might find:
-"flashing" patches or modules means flashing from recovery with "install from sd card" option. Some rom makers make versions for more then one phone, so they just copy/paste text in thread, and if you can't see patches for download, it means it is already patched in newer version.
- Doomlord kernel need flashing wifi modules and you can find them in doomlord kernel thread. It use stock partition layout (system 310MB, data 380MB) so it will work if your previous kernel was stock one.
-Lupus kernel have wifi modules integrated, so no need for flashing them. But it have different partition layout (system 280MB, data 640MB), so you need to delete (wipe) system and data partition from fastboot if your previous kernel used stock partition layout. Also, use. 62 or .79 firmware because only on that firmware is possible to have bigger data partition.
-Always make sure that you are using kernel that match rom you are trying to flash. Read in rom's thread for compatible kernel

All set!
Thanks very much for the patience and everything, i think the trick was to install first the stock rom and then a kernel and rom compatible to use with this stock rom. Everything works perfect now, thanks again!
