[Q] WiFi Issues - ROM indiscriminate - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So my WiFi has stopped working, was running stock GB. Nothing changed, I've tried formatting and re-installing that, formatting and trying LeeDroid 2.5, I've currently got MildWild 8.0 and still the same issue. Any advice/ideas?

Give us more details. What happens when WIFI is turned on? Does it show available networks? Can you select a network and connect to it?

Depends on its mood. Sometimes you try and turn it on and it just says error, other times it says its on but then can't scan for networks (when it does this it says turning on for a long time).

It might be a hardware fault. The best way to find out is by flashing a RUU. If the problem persists, then it's indeed a hardware problem.
Flash the 2.3 RUU, either the exe version or the pb99img.zip version.

Cheers, I'll give it a try now.

Yup it's hardware. RUU still has the same problem. Bugger.

Very big problem with my Desire and Wifi Connection

Hey guys,
im running a Desire with the newest Leedroid Rom. Everythings working perfect,
except the wifi network connection.
My Problem:
After i updated from branded 2.1 to 2.2 with OVA Update, i cant connect to any
encrypted wifi. I dont get an error or something, it just tries to get a ip adress
and then it says Connecting... and then it starts again from trying to get an
ip-adress and so on and so on...
The only thing thats working is to connect to an open wifi hotspot.
Things i tryed:
- Other Router, other settings, other decryption, other keys,and so on
It has to be a problem in updating process, cause with 2.1 it works and after i
update to 2.2 i cant connect to any wifi anymore.
I really need help cause i think this cant be a hardware problem, cause everything else is working.
Sry for my english, tried my best
nge89
Do a full wipe and flash leedroid again.
I have done full wipes like 100 times, also im always testing new roms,
so i was on modaco,leedroid,cyanogen and installed them many times.
So that cant be the problem
nge89
First how do you do a full wipe?
Second what is a OVA update? is it the same as OTA? And what does the update have to do with your wifi not working on leedorid? Did you OTA update form a rooted 2.1 rom?
Has wifi ever worked on 2.2? What radio are you using?
I do a full wipe with all 4 wipe options, dont know the exactly names.
Yeah sry,with OVA i mean the OTA.
No, i did a OTA Update from a branded unrooted 2.1 Desire to the branded 2.2 Froyo version. And wifi NEVER worked on any 2.2 version.
I just rooted my phone when i was on branded 2.2 version, cause i wanted to
try some of the nice roms.
In this time i never used wifi, only mobile network connection, cause i was long
time not at home and couldnt use any wifi, now im back here and trying to solve
my wifi problem.
Just checking my Radio version and i have 32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2, but i dont
know why, thought i had installed a newer
Should i try the 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27?

Yes looks like 2.1 radio, try the newer but do not pull the battery during the update it will reboot twice and don't touch anything during the process. I take no responsibility for what happens and I suggest you do some searching on the radio flashing process. Also don't forget to check the md5 of the download.
Might sound a bit scary but if you follow the procedures and don't do anything stupid it should go well.
i encountered the same problem only i'm on 2.1 after downgrading from 2.2 and rom jumping. did a wipe and even tried to nand restore my original stock rom. is this a radio error?
the phone was working fine. this issue happened to me while i was trying to fix a battery drain problem, i did a dalvik + cache wipe and the battery was fixed but the wifi started doing this. my phone could still be on the 2.2 radio

Would be nice if you would post the radio version
was about to edit my post with the info, you beat me to it
Radio: 5.11.05.27
HBoot: 0.93.0001
Im now also on 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27. Still the same Problem.
That u can imagine how it looks like:
1. Wlan -> power on
2. Select my Wlan Acess Point
3. Type in my Wlan Key
4. Its says Wlan -> " The Connection is now being established"
5. Wlan -> "Authentication with "Wlan Accespoint name" "
6. Wlan -> " Not Connected"
7. Wlan -> "Scan..."
After this steps it repeats from step 4-7 again and again and nothing is happening.
nge89
Also tried with another keyboard, in another thread someone said it worked for him
with another keyboard. But not for me, still the same problem.
nge89
ok i fixed the problem and now Wifi works perfectly!
I downloaded the same version radio and flashed it again from AmonRA recovery and now the Wifi and mobile network work just fine.
I got the radio from this thread and it has the instructions on how to flash the radio.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=687464
I just flashed the radio with clockworkmod and with install zip from sdcard. Is that wrong?
You had the same problem like me?
Nge89
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
no its not wrong, thats what i did only with AmonRA. yeah from your description i had the same problem. The wifi would detect my wireless network but would refuse to connect and kept giving me "unsuccessful" errors.
The problem is, that i dont get any error.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Some one any idea?
flashing the radio again didn't fix it?
Did you try to disable any protection (wep, wpa, wpa2) on your router and then connect? Also try to disable dhcp on your router and assign static IP adress to your HTC device. I had problems connecting to wifi but after I assign static IP everything is ok.
Yeah, i can connect with disabled security. With static ip and crypted wifi it
doesnt work, i cant connect.
nge89
Then your problem most probably lies in "shaking" between HTC and router. Did you try with basic 64 bit or 128 bit wep? In many cases shaking troubles occur when one device doesn't support encryption of another. For example I had troubles connecting my windows 7 because of ****ty drivers off my wireless card. I could only use wep. Also can you check that portable wi-fi hotspot in wi-fi hotspots is disabled? And try to add your wireless manually so when you enable wi fi it should connect you automaticly without having you to enter your password.

Wifi stopped working.. ?

I have a problem with my Wifi..
I have wifi enabled..

My computer works on Wifi so no problems there.
Running latets Miui XJ Rom, Radio: 35.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23
Save important data. Then do a full wipe and flash miui again.
I tried this, it worked the first 2-3minutes then it died again..
Still showing Wifi is On with full strength...
Any more ideas ?
try a different ROM after full wipe
if not try flashing an older radio.. or did you flash the new one to see if that solves the problem?

No, i tried the new radio after the problem started, i had radio .08 before.
And i didnt flash or do anything... it just started to happen..
I did a fullwipe, installed Oxygen and Wifi works again...
Did a fullwipe again and installed the newest Miui... And Wifi problem comes back.
Ive read somewhere that kernels can cause this problem ?

Hi, you have to go into Settings and the click on Wi-Fi for a few seconds and let go. It will bring you into the next menu where you can choose the network you would like to connect to.
Once you find your Wi-Fi network, simply click on the name and enter in the password (if it has any).
I just switched over from a stable Gingerbread version of MIUI to this Jelly Bean rom and I like it so far.

Thank you for your answer. I tried every method to turn on the wifi. But it not seems to working. It is not turning on. I tried to find this answer on google and as well as XDA but I didn't find any answer to this question. I think this wifi issue is occurring on PVT4 devices but not sure what could be the possible reason for it.
Now, I think I should stay on GB and I am installing Leedroid. Let's see if this error still exist.

Strange, it resolved the wifi problem. I flashed the rom and removed the SD card and the wifi is properly working. I didn't figured it out how to manually add IP address. Just like in GB roms we have advance settings in wifi menu. In ICS there wasn't any advance settings.

[Q] Baseband version becomes unknown after restart

I'm using Droid Incredible 2 and facing a strange problem that I need help
My phone is using GSM network and rom Cyanogenmod 7 stable version
The phone works without problem until I restart the phone, the Baseband version becomes unknown and the notification shows the message "No service" so I don't have any mobile network
I tried to reflash the ROM and the problem seemed disappear. But when I perform a restart, I experience the same problem again
Is there anyone know how to solve this problem?

I would ask in the rom specific thread. You're more likely to get someone with experience with that rom to answer.

He can't post there most likely since he has only 2 posts. I had an issue with Viper like this but thought it was related to Hurricane Sandy....
One morning I grab my phone off the usb (computer) and it says Vodafone instead of VZW on the lock screen. Hmmm. Reboot and nothing changes. Can't send of receive texts or connect to 3g but phone works. I tried pulling battery, sim card....to no avail. As a last resort I wiped data and it has worked since with no issue although that forced me to re-install all my apps.
Hope this helps.

Thanks so much for your suggest. I wiped data and my phone works too. But I wonder what is the root cause of this issue? A problem of custom rom ???

WiFi broked

Hello guys, a year ago I tried root my phone and got bricked. After 2 weeks I finally fixed and came back to the stock rom. Since that day my WiFi is not connecting.
I'm able to search and find any network, but when insert the password, the phone try to connect, the signal go down, the message "connecting" appear, and after that appear as "saved" but not connected. I already tried to define a static IP address, but didn't work.
Can I broke the wifi firmware when tried to root for the first time?
Someone have an idea on what is going on?

Follow the unbrick guide method 2. Make sure you follow it right.. Don't skip any parts because it doesn't work. Don't see how you bricked the phone by flashing SuperSU but okay..

Hmm, if that and the unbrick isn't working then you might want to ask yourself it something is broken. Does it connect to other networks?

No I ve used several different hotspots to connect. The strange thing is that mobile data are working.
hmmm take a look at this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/radio-modem-collection-flashable-zips-t3468628
If that doesn't work try to flash ex kernel if i remember it correctly it changes something with wifi to.
If that doesn't work then It's broken or you can fix it by doing something else but dont know what, Good luck
