[Q] Cannot connect to WiFi regardless of kernel or ROM used. What happened to my evo?

My phone will detect Wifi, and try to connect, but will never connect. It just finds it, goes to "connecting," then "disconnected," then "connecting," then "disconnected," etc.
What did I screw up on my phone? I've tested Wifi using Fresh, CM7, Caulkin's, and the leaked plain gingerbread.
I've flashed 2 different kernels, each has the same result. Not to mention that some of the roms have different kernels already.
I've also downgraded my radio just to see if that would help.
What could I possibly have messed up? I don't get it.
Obviously, I've spent a lot of time like this, and I am, quite honestly, literally insane at this point.
Any help is appreciated.

Could it be your router that's going bad and not your phone??
Also, try placing a stock sprint rom and go from there

I ran into this as well before with my current ROM Mikfroyo.. the trick for me was just to back up my apps and wipe/reinstall the ROM. If you backup more, be sure to NOT backup the Wifi settings as that may cause the issue to happen again (I've been down this road more than once with my phone because I'm a flashing junkie )
That's the only suggestion I can offer.. sucks but at least for me it fixed my issues with Wifi not connecting.
Good luck!
--edit--
after reading deeper into the OP I guess this might not work as it seems flashing new ROMs didn't help either..

I don't think so, because at home my wireless printer still works, and I can connect an iPad.
I'll flash a stock rom tonight.

I have been using Titanium backup to restore settings, that is a good point. Maybe tonight I'll re-install the router, remove all apps from the Apps2SD, flash a stock ROM, then manually re-install all of the apps from a market.
Sounds like a good Friday night. Blehhh.....

If your using cwm to flash wipe all 3 times each then when you restore apps do apps only not system data. Somewhere your introducing info back into the rom that's confusing it.did you back up your wimaxx keys before you flashed your radio?

No, but cwm and RA both do that for you now, right? Plus, I can still connect to 4G, so the wimax keys should be there.
But that's a question I can't find the answer to- does the radio have anything to do with connecting to WiFi?

Well cwm doesn't do a good job at cleaning dalvik cache. You've got to manualy wipe 3 times to make sure. Your not using rom manager are you? What version of clockeork you using?

I use ROM manager. What's wrong with it?
I'm using 3.0.0.5

Don't use rom managet it causes to many problems. Go into recovery and wipe system data facrory reset, then go into advanced and wipe dalvik cache 3 times each then flash your rom. Your issues will go away.

You should go into rom manager and flash other recovery re. That's amon re its more stable than cwm.

Sounds more like your wireless router is the issue. Just because your other devices connect, doesn't rule out your router. Try to connect to a different wireless router and see if that works.

i am also having this same issue, and i cant find an answer to it.. but i will try giving it a shot with amon ra recovery and manually clearing dalvik cache n data.

Hey Sprockethead try using this recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1339654, it's known to work for a LOT of people here... Like the others have mentioned I think it might have to do something with not wiping properly... You can still flash your CWM recoveries with this one.

New Radio (Firmware Update)

Now that the new update has been leaked we have new firmware with a new radio (.0320). Has anyone seen any differences between this one and .0312, the previous newest radio? Would it be worth it to flash the new firmware if I was running a custom rom (jelly bean paranoid android)?

I just realized this should probably be in q and a. Can this be moved?

I tried the .0320 radio on aeroevan's cm10 and it just hung on boot. I then did a restrore to the CWM backup I made before I installed it and my phone booted fine and says it still has the new radio. Wierd... Does CWM recovery not backup and restore the radio?

More accurately said...your radio is not affected by flashing roms. Only if you flash something specifically at the radio level.
As for CM10 hanging on boot, it has been a little finicky. I get bootloops, but eventually it brings itself out of the bootloop. If it is truly hanging, try changing the order of flashing...I do rom-->kernel-->gapps. I used to do gapps before kernel, but this seems to bring consistently better results. Don't have any idea why that would be. Also, I think you have to have either the 12 or 13 kernel for CM10 at this point.

The first time u flashed back to cm10 did you forget to flash a kernel? That could cause it not to boot and your backup that worked would have the kernel included where your fresh install wouldn't. This could explain what happened.

New firmware caused bootloop issues for me even after I wiped system, data and cache. I described it a separate bthread in Q
And A. That said, I didn't have good description with the latest radio. Always had the best luck with 622, which is an old gingerbread radio.

no issues with AOKP. I did have a few issues the cwm and i think i just need to reflash recovery. Otherwise, no issues so far.

Running Nit's TSM UKB Evolution 2.0 now with the newly leaked ics firmware with the .0320 radio, mobile data signal is a bit stronger, by as much as 8 to 10 dBm and WiFi isn't dropping out (was seeing random "X" instead of the signal bar before) - haven't run into any FC issues yet. screen transitioned is still a bit laggy sometimes when changing home screen - battery life is on par with other similar roms.

I didn't reflash the rom. I just did a restore from the backup I made right before I flashed the new radio. I have been running aeroevan's kernel
v.12 with Adreno drivers and cm10 7/30 build for 2 weeks now with no complants.(except for the FFC and video camera.)
If you read this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134451&page=51
You will see other people you have gotten it to work by clearing the cache after installing the .0320 radio so maybe the restore had the same effect. I didn't see any improvements as far as signal goes so I just reflashed the .0312 radio to avoid any problems. I may feel froggy this weekend and reinstall the .0320 radio this weekend and try the clear cache trick out. If so I will report back with the results.

I ended up installing the firmware then doing a full wipe before flashing my last ROM. So basically all I was left with was the new radio. Everything works so far.

I tried just flashing the new radio .320 without the Rom and my aero 8/21 hung at boot. So I loaded the leaked ics Rom and I had the WiFi killing the data bug so I flashed tazz's and macros latest 8/28 build and my service is pretty solid. Ive seen better battery life and less service jumping with this radio. When and if aero updates his cm10 I'm going to try it out and see if things go the same for his Rom. I'm in love with the cm10 builds

[Q] HTC One X GPS not working on CM10 Nightlies

Hi,
I have updated my international HTC One X to CM10 ver(10-20121221 NIGHTLY). However, i find that the GPS doesn't pickup any satellites at all.
I went back to my stock ROM and found that the GPS was working fine. On reading some threads about similar problems, i tried downloading AGPS data but that too did not work.
I also flashed a AGPS Fix for HTC One X ver3.1 but that too didn't work.
Is somebody else having a similar experience ? Were you able to fix it ? Any help would be great... I hate to go back to a Sense ROM.

If you have one of the higher hboot versions, gps is npt functional at all.
If you however are not, try full wipe an reflash.

I don't think so... I flashed a different nightly, a pre nightly a different ROM called CustoNexus. It has the same result.
Interestingly, while i am on the stock ROM, I have found enabling\disabling the mobile data connection makes a difference. If its disabled, the GPS will not find any satellite. I have tried a test alternatively, enabling, checking GPS, rebooting, disabling and checking 3 times. All the test show this to the case.
Any ideas why ?

Any ideas?
I'm also having this issue. I have used older nightlies from early December and an Gapps and neither work. I've tried a clean install, total wipe of phone and SD and still nothing. I really want to stick with CM10 but the GPS function is a real necessity for me so for now it's back to stock.
Hope there are some more updates on this soon.
Thanks

same issue here. GPS wont even turn on even though it's set to enabled.

Full wipe should do it if your hboot isn't 1.3x.

[Q] Kernel Crashing

Tried IRC, so I'm going to try here also.
Anytime I use a ZVB or ZVC based ROM, the kernel crashes within 10-15 seconds of being flashed. No matter which of those based ROMs I use, I get the kernel crash in the same time period. I've tried different kernels as well, but none have worked. I've use Awesome's Kernel Cleaner each time before flashing the kernels, but get the same result.
Here's the kicker though, if I use any of the AOSP ROMs it will run fine. My only problem is there was no EFS backup, so I get no service, which pretty much makes using the 4.3.x+ ROMs useless. Basically, I'm trying to get back to stock ROMs so I can get service and save the EFS to use on the later ROMs. If I can even just get the ZVC ROM working that would be great too.
I'm not sure if there is a AOSP kernel stuck in there or something, and it's not clearing it out, or what is going on. I'm doing a complete wipe with data everytime I flash.
I appreciate any help, and thank you for taking the time to read!

Using 2.6.3.0, and wiping everything but SD card. Wiping 3x before installing ROM, gapps and kernel. Tried multiple stock based kernels. Can install CM or Slimbean and it will boot no problem, and work fine. It's just the stock ROMs, and tried Lifeless as well.

Tried that with the stock ZV9, ZVB and ZVC. Even used LG flash.

Here's an idea that came in my head. Maybe it's crashing when it tries to connect to the Sprint network. Since the AOSP ROMs never attempt to connect to it, they don't crash. But the stock ROMs do, so they crash when attempting.
If I'm not rooted, I get just a reboot. If I run SuperSU from TWRP before rebooting, then I get the Kernel Crash screen when it reboots.

[Q] bad cell reception with CM10.2

Hello,
I am ready to pull my hair out! I installed the Cyanogenmod yesterday and my cell reception is terrible. I usually get full bars of 4g coverage in my driveway but nothing since install. I have an AirRave signal booster in the house and I get no data connectivity without wifi and 2 bars when I am standing right next to the signal booster. Different areas of town where I used to be able to count on full 3g coverage - 2 bars and no data. I don't know what to do. I am about to wipe and start over again. Any one, please help...
I have a Sprint GS3 SPH-L710

Did you dirty flash? I never had any problems with CM10.2 connectivity. You might have a bad download or something didn't get flashed correctly. I would do a clean install, ( wipe dalvik, cache, data) and re-download, flash the ROM and gapps .

The above link is from the Note 2 forum (my phone). I was doing some scouting on the S3 (wife's phone) and saw this thread and thought of the one I linked.
I was having major data problems on cm10.2 even after I would go back to a touchwiz rom, update profile prl then do a "clean flash" of cm.
Problem is the way that touchwiz and cm handle the file system.
If you have a data problem in cm, flash a touchwiz ROM, update profile and prl, then go to your file explorer and delete the folder "sdcard/0/android/data/" (the only folder you need to delete is data - since I have everything on my external sdcard, I deleted the whole 0 folder.) Then do a real clean flash of cm and you should be just fine.
Obviously, if you're concerned about losing any data, back it all up before you do anything.

Just another question, what's the harm in staying in CM and 3g only besides not being able to access LTE for the moment?

One thing I do know is any aosp ROM will have this problem. Something to do with ril or to that nature. I hunted a lot of threads on various sprint phones having the same problem.
I just stuck with tw cause the data speeds are so much better, in the same spot on aosp I get about 1.3mbs and tw about 5.5mbs. I hate tw to, can't stand it but it works
