Hello:
My wifi is not working, on the menu on cM9 it just have this stupid message "Turning wifi on" and nothing happen... In other mods it says "wifi error", its not grayed but it says it. If I switch on it goes back to off with the same message.
My phone felt and I had to get the screen changed but it started BEFORE. Bluetooth seems to work.
Tried basically anything I found on google::
-CUstoms (CM7 and 9, WC) and stock roms w/ full installs with wipe/factory reset and so on
- So-called "forcing wifi" aps
-*#*#526#*#* dial on the phone.
So its not lupus ...
ANY help is welcome. Im starting to think its hardware, any way to be sure?
I had this problem once on CM9 but I think a reboot fixed it. Not sure though.. Anyway your problem is worse if flashing other ROMs doesn't fix it.
Also, use the Q and A section in future please

Hi there,
Just wanted your point of view regarding something really strange that happened to me yesterday.
(btw, I looked it up all over the forum + google but still unabale to find a proper answer)
So basically, I droped down my phone, which crashed on the floor but nothing really serious. Ever since, every time I try and turn on the wifi, it says "Error".
I've tried rebooting it several times and still get the issue.
Do you guys think the wifi chip could have been broken? Is there any report log I could find using terminal or root explorer?
Phone specs:
Virtuous Unity v1.29.0
Android 2.3.3
Phone rooted
Bluetooth does turn on
Thanks in advance for your help
Try flashing a different rom, back up your current one first, and check out if the wifi is working without restoring any apps.
Did you ever fix this? I did the exact same thing, dropped onto hard tile. Wifi error and couldn't read data partition.
Randomly after a day or 2 it fixed itself and was fine for 2 weeks.
BUT...just happened again today. I wiped caches, reflashed ARHD, fixed all permissions. Data partition became readable again (not sure which of those fixed that) but i still get "Wifi Error" when turning wifi on.
Any help/suggestions much appreciated.
Hello iv'e had a similar issue before with a different device
overnight after a sudden crash of the phone itself wifi no longer turned on
it's simply saying that "turning on" but never does
ive tried different roms swell currently on "viperx" and it hapened on "paranoid anrdoid" and tried some variants of CM10 in between aswell
i allways flash the boot.img from the rom zip and using costum kernels just caused a boot loop .
tried to reflash root aswell just to be sure evendough it was working fine before . allso installin gnewest supersu from play store .
no roms even turn wifi on to show any networks not just weak signal .
as i understand the wifi module is mainly controled by the kernel but how can it then stop functioning after a software crash and continue to not work after several kernel reflashes .
would anyone reccomend a "best" kernel for paranoid android scince i really like the tablet mode on most of its apps but with no wifi all roms seam useless
any help appeciated
Tried doing the whole process from start even locking and reunlocking the bootloader .
now latest thing i tried is did a full restore from RUU back to stock and locked bootloader ...
the wifi still wont scan so would this mean it is a HW issue ?/or is there something else to try aswell :crying:

I have been running Jedi Mind Trick x4 for the past couple of weeks. Everything was working fine, super quick and super stable rom. Then, out of the blue yesterday, the Wifi stopped working. It just stalled at "Wifi Turning On". I never received an error message, it just would never connect. I took out the battery, took at the sim card, rebooted, problem persisted. Factory data reset, wifi worked for an hour, then again stalled at "Wifi Turning On". Flashed UVLI4 radio, problem persisted. I decided this must be a rom problem, so I wiped my data and flashed Jedi Knight 6 using CWM. Clean flash everything working fine, hour later wifi stalls. I look on the forums and I see a lot of people with ICS are having problem, but no solutions. Then I flash Jedi Jelly 5, a JB rom, again, wifi works for an hour then stalls. At this point I was so pissed off I decided to unroot my phone. I wiped all my data from external and internal sd, factory data reset, and unrooted using ODIN. Again, wifi worked fine, then stopped. Updated to 4.0.4 using Kies, now Wifi is bouncing between on and turning on. At "Wifi Turning On" most of the time.
IF YOU DONT WANT TO READ THAT^
Long story short: Im on stock unrooted 4.0.4, and my wifi stalls at "Wifi Turning On". Ive had the problem on custom ICS and JB roms.
I have seen this problem on other threads but no solutions, so I made a new one. This problem is particularly annoying since I dont have any service at my house and rely on Wifi Calling.
BTW: Bluetooth doesn't work at all.
Look to attachments for a screenshot of what Im seeing:
Anyone else having this problem? Has anyone found a permanent solution?
Thanks
Today I flashed the new Revolution ROM on my Inspire 4G using 4EXT. I wiped all partitions, flashed from SD card, flashed gapps and then the inspiremod+gps package. Everything worked great except the sound, and I tried to solve the problem by installing the KangBang V3.3 Stable Kernel (because other people in the thread did that and it worked for them).
After flash, WiFi ceased to work - the toggle showed 'Wifi off" even though it was highlighted (usually meaning it's on), and when i tried to toggle it nothing happened. The device says it's "turning on wifi" but it never does - it just loads the wifi capabilities forever. I tried to turn wifi on from the settings menu - same result.
Moreover, I don't know if this is related (or if its meant to be this way), but the "about phone" menu shows that the kernel stayed the same. Tried with two other kernels (don't remember which ones, not KangBang), same result exactly. When I tried to to a total wipe and re-flash ROM with the kernel to begin with, same result as well. I have a feeling there is something about kernel flashing I don't understand. Do I need to be S-OFF to do it? because I'm not...
As the title mentioned my phone freezes when the wifi is disconnected. The phone is on but I can't wake it. The only way to recover is to remove battery. After the operation Wifi gets stuck in "turning on" state. I noticed that that this can be fixed by using by "Fix permissions" -functionality. It's not very optional way to operate...
I'm using Viper DHD 2.3.0 and Kernel is 3.0.93-ucxl-2wcr-S27
I've tried several Radio images with no luck.
This began one morning out of nowhere so it might be some sort of HW issue, but I'm not ruling the software side out.
If someone knows what to try or has had similar issues, please comment.

Have you try flash another kernel, such as pacha kernel 2.9.1 or t10 kernel, or you can try dirty flash this rom again.
...and now it's working again
For some reason the phone started to act normally again without any further actions. Hopefully it was some sort of odd software bug...
