Hey guys, so it turns out that I am one of the unlucky ones who experience the WiFi always "turning on".... :eek
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do.
I bought my phone on ebay, and initially it was working great but only after I flashed miui rom I got the WiFi issue... Ever since that no matter what I do it still does work!
I have no receipt since I got the second hand on ebay, and what can I do guys?! I
flash the stock images.

I had been having trouble with my data connection since flashing my first ROM a couple months ago. I flashed a new rom this afternoon and updated the radio, and now the phone cannot connect to data at all. I've tried restoring the phone, and flashing numerous radio files but have not had any luck whatsoever.
Does anyone have any recommendations? I'm used to the Samsung Epic 4G, where I could just simply ODIN the phone back to stock anytime I got myself stuck. Is there a similar 'reset' button for the Incredible 2?
Thanks so much to anyone who can help!

Im not sure what an ODIN is but i usually just flash to another rom and in recovery format/delete everything and i mean everything and that will cure most problems.
If that doesnt work you can flash an RUU from verizon there hard to come across for some reason but brings your cell to stock
Better yet follow this guide (includes one)

Samsung has HEIMDALL or ODIN
Motorola has RSD
HTC uses RUU's directly from the phone.
Your best bet is to Downgrade and start from scratch
I have seen a variety of posts in various threads about people not being able to get GPS connections and blaming the ROM they were on the for the problem - I imagine that sometimes that could be the reason but something happened to me recently that makes me wonder...
I am a flashaholic - often going back and forth between various ROMS via Nandroid back ups - all was good - then recently I noticed my GPS wasn't working. I thouht it was the rom - but no matter what I did I could not fix it. I tried installing other roms - totally clean install - I tried flashing back to rooted stock and no matter what I tried, GPS did not work.
I don't know where I saw it, but I finally saw a post from someone who suggested fixing it by going back to stock via odin - I tried that and it didnt work either - digging a little deeper someone suggested using odin to going back to pure stock then go into settings and do a factory restore.
I tried it - and it worked - took me virtually all day to figure it out - but it is working better than ever now - I wish I knew what caused it in the first place - but at least I found a somewhat reasonable solution.
If you have lost your GPS and can't get it working again - give it a shot -
Does anyone else have any other suggestiions that might work?
This is correct. I had this exact same issue and this worked for me as well.

Do you know why it happend in the first place? Was it the result of a specific Rom or just flashing in general?
Thats what i found that worked for me too. It only worked after i went into settings and reset the phone after odin.

I recently lost my GPS after flashing a Sprint-based ROM. Unfortunately, ODIN back to stock and factory reset from the Settings menu (and from recovery) did not bring back my GPS.
However, I followed a suggestion from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923067
I used ODIN to go back to a rooted stock ROM, installed CWM, installed the Sprint-based ROM that seemed to have been the source of the trouble. My GPS started working again. I then used CWM to restore a stock nandroid backup I had from earlier and GPS continued to work thereafter in any ROM I flashed.
There may be a simpler process, but that's what worked for me.

Now that I thnk of it, I also had flashed a Sprint Based rom - that must have triggered my original issue - I explained what I did to restore my GPS at the start of this thread _ and it is similar to what you described - execept I did not odin to a SPRINT rom - I used ODIN to bak to pure stock - then did a factory restore - (and this second step is what seemed to do the trick) then I re-rooted and went backto my happy days of flashing roms - I haven't had an issue since.

Well...that may not be the cause but it's a common denominator. I did and I had to flash back to stock and factory wipe to get mine back.

It definitely seems to be a common element to most of these GPS issues. I'm not sure why, in some cases, all it takes is a factory reset in stock to fix it, while others have to re-install the Sprint ROM first. Either way, though, it seems like in most cases, it's user-fixable.
Got the GPS death syndrome today. Flashed a ton of stock ICS nandroid backups without any luck. Finally fixed it after flashing a Sprint JB ROM nandroid then back to ICS. Such a werid issue.
Why flash a Sprint ROM on an ATT phone though?

Because its the only official US Jelly Bean released at the moment.
It was one of the many backups I had. Don't know why it fixed it but it did.
I have the same issue. Now to flash a stock rom using Odin, do you have to use the toolkit? Also where can I download a Rogers stock rom from?
finally after losing gps and reading thread after thread got it to work , thank you to the guys that personally try to help , dont know why it struck this time but it did , now i will try to bring it back to stock , again thanks , by the way the rom i was using to bring it back was serenity 1.1 which i use before but wouldn't stick...:good:

If your problem started after installing a Sprint-based ROM, then root your phone, install CWM and then install that same Sprint ROM. Your GPS will probably work after that. You can then restore a Nandroid backup of another ROM. That's how a lot of us were able to fix our GPS.

Hi guys,
I have had the s2,s3,galaxy nexus,original note and i am used to flashing and modifying,but i have a serious issue with the note 2.
The problem is whenever i flash AOSP rom(cm,aokp,pa) my wifi would not connect.It shows the name of the network and when i click conenct nothing happens.Flashing back TW rom fixes it,wifi works like a charm. I've done full wipes but it doesn't seem to resolve the issue.I tried different kernels,but that doesn't help either.
So I am stuck at TW roms and i hate that.Anyone has any ideas?
You can try options 2 and 3 from this thread.
Thanks for your reply,but i tried this and it didn't solve my problem.
Anyone?

I Have the same problem...
Not sure that it will help you but I read something yesterday about this issue.
The solution was to NOT restore your Google profile during first boot so you should full wipe and try again.

This actually has nothing to do with the problem.
After a few days I finally found the cause ,and therefore,a decision to the problem.
It is the bootloader from 4.3 sammy leaks.It seems that this new leaks(probably the reason being KNOX) cause malfunction of wifi in aosp roms.What i did was ODIN flash stock MG1 from sammobile .This brought back stock recovery so i had to flash TWRP again and it solved the issue for me.
Before that i had tried changing roms,kernels,recovery,modems and nothing worked so I am pretty sure it is the new 4.3 leaks bootloader.
Some people will say that it can\t be the issue because they are using 4.3 sammy and do not experience the same problem on aosp roms,but i think thats because they flash it through CMW ,which doesn't change bootloader,while flashing through ODIN does.
With my Note2 this is not the solution. I've tried everything. What you said, move file "pit" ..... but nothing. I can not connect wifi. The connection does not appear region Spain, and have opted to choose europe, but neither. I do not know to do. CM 10.1 also does not work WIFI. In Stock ROM or Custom ROM works fine fine, but in ROM CM 10.1, 10.2, AOKP don't work.

Please help noob here and I'm having problems with the latest ROM from pacman 4.4 build. Every time I install I do not get any data or signal. Also when I try to sign into Google even with WiFi on I get message saying unreliable connection or I'm not signed up for data if issue persist to contact customer service any help will b appreciated.
What build are you trying to install, have you tried re-downloading the ROM also if you're trying to flash a different kernel with the ROM you have to let it boot once before doing so.

Yea its weird reading the thread it only happens to some phones. I guess I just had one of those phones.
Hi there! So, I couldnt find the Cyanogenmod thread, so i figured this place was better than any other.
Anyway, I have an LG G4 H815 on T-Mobile and so recently I downgraded from Cyanogenmod 14 to 13 because I wasnt a fan, and ever since my mobile data has been throwing a fit. If I go back to stock LG MM it at least has some data connection, but its on "E", but if I try and go to any custom ROM it gets pissed and decided it doesnt need data and it doesnt want service half of the time. Any suggestions? Ive been working on it all day and its kinda really super frustrating. Thanks!!

Greetings and welcome to assist. This appears to be the correct thread for CM on your device
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g4/general/cm14-t3464339/page10
If you can't find any help there I would reflash a complete stock rom for your device, it souns like modem/apn issue. Returning to the full stock rom for your device should fix any issues
Good Luck

I've already tried flashing stock rom, and it works when I just flash the LG MM, but Cyanogenmod is still broken with a clean reflash. I've played with the apn settings to no avail. How would you reconfigure the modem settings?

AFAIK you can't configure your modem only change it for one from a different firmware. It does sound like a CM bug which is quite common especially on cm14 hopefully they'll fix it soon
