Hi all, I'm running CM 7 stable with latest radio (7.15.35.16) and 2.6.32.17 kernel. I I wiped data, cache, and dalvik cache before flashing cm7, then the appropriate gapps. The problem has been ongoing with other cm 7 RCs, but doesn't happen in 6.1.1. I am able to connect to wifi networks, but I can't load or reload anything in any app. The icon stays white/gray on the status bar instead of turning green like the data network icon does to show it's fully working. Tried the android dev forums, but haven't found anything that fixes this. Any help would be much appreciated.
<strike>So I found a way for data to work while on wifi. I have to enable gps and have it lock on in google maps in order for the wifi to send and receive data instead of just being connected and doing nothing. Don't know much of the code stuff so if anyone can figure that one, be my guest!</strike>
Thanks to ilostchild for the fix in the last post. Pull 'tiwlan.ini' from cm6.1.1 and push it to cm7. Located in System>ETC>WIFI folder. Mount system before pulling and pushing files. Good luck!
I believe your kernel is geared for FROYO not Gingerbread. You might need to reflash the ROM and don't flash any "new" kernels as of yet. It may break your wifi.
This is the kernel that came with CM 7, unless I'm mistaken. But I'll try the re-flash option. Update later. Thanks for the suggestion.
You're right, i'm an idiot haha. Have you synced your google accounts to your phone yet? The green and grey signifies your connection to google servers.

I did. I did see the green and grey while on mobile network, but only grey when on wifi. Should I not let the phone restore everything once I reflash? I might try that and make sure every aspect of the google account syncs before attempting a wifi connect. Either way, I can always go back to cm 6.1 Thanks.
Try nightly 39, I read that was fixed in it. I didn't have the problem so I can't say if it was.

Tried it as well... No dice. I guess I'm one of the (un)lucky ones. Thanks, anyway.
get the tiwlan.ini from cm6.1.1 and push it in cm7
its in etc/wifi
the do a reboot and try to connect to that
This worked for me, thanks!
I have made a flashable zip for people who don't like adb, etc.

Would you be able to make a flashable zip with the stock wifi files? I've been having problems with CM6 and 7 wifi.
I don't think anyone has ever had a problem with the stock rom wifi. It would solve nearly anyone's problem.

The stock wifi files wont work with cm7, because cyanogenmod uses mostly generic drivers for things we dont have source for. Have you tried formatting the system in recovery? format everything except your sd card, reflash cm7, then add the twlan.ini from cm6. thats what worked for me, and i was one of those "unlucky ones."

Tried flashing this zip but didn't work. Just seemed to get an error and abort.

Hi all. I've looked for weeks through hundreds of threads for a solution to my problem but haven't found a solution. My apologies if one exists.
I am running an odin-rooted EL29 stock rom. I have downloaded various versions of the Wifi Tether app but am running 3.1-beta11 right now. I can get my Win7 Pro laptop to see my phone's wifi but cannot successfully connect to the internet with it. The wifi icon in the system tray continues searching after I tell it to connect.
I've followed the many tutorials on how to do this but none of them work. Does anyone here have any solutions for me to try? Please, of course!
Okay, so I just noticed the sticky at the top of the list about Wifi and others for EL29. All of these fixes look like brand new ROMs, though. I would rather not wipe everything and start clean if I don't have to.
I too had many problems with WiFi and WiFi tether. I actually went to the WiFi Tether home page and dl'd every version there. I paintakingly install each until I found the only one that worked was version 2.0.7. Only problem with this version is that encryption doesn't work.
Also, and I presume you are with Sprint, keep in mind that most of the newer ROMS have the Sprint HotSpot app working fully including encryption and for free.
I tether all my wifi machines to either WiFi Wireless Tether or Sprints HotSpot.
Good luck,
Here is link to WiFi Wireless Tether HOME: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
IF Ive helped, HIT the Thanks button.....
Have you tried going into the settings and under change setup method change it from Auto to WEXT(adhoc)
I was having a similar issue and that seemed to work for me.

I don't think Beta 11 works. That was my experience. Beta 6 & 7 worked then I figured I should upgrade to the latest and tried 11 and it didn't work. Saw a few other people who also had problems with 11 and went back to either 6 or 7. I know for sure 6 & 7 work on Stock but haven't tested any other ROMs.
The Calkulin 2.8.1 Rom can be flashed without wiping your settings and data. Just wipe cache and Dalvic cache and flash the Rom. Make a Nandroid backup first of course. I have flashed this Rom over stock several times with no issues at all. The Rom has the Hotspot hack which lets you use the Sprint Hotspot software which works perfectly and Sprint has no idea that you are using it.
This is what worked for me on a stock rom, Odin rooted + CWM.

I solved with this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.snclab.wifitetherrouter
Ive recently installed the MOAR MB1 ROM on my Sprint GS3 and its Awesome, everything seems to work but for some reason I CANNOT get the Wifi-Tether to work. The app runs and it all seems to VISUALLY be working but when i search for the SSID with my tablet or Laptop I cant find the network. Ive tried it Tethering as a locked and open network and the same problem persists. On the phone screen it shows upload and download speeds as usual but the net work cannot be found by other devices. If anyone has any info or the same problem please let me know , I love this ROM and dont want to get rid of it but Wifi-Tethering is a big part of my day so if I cant get it to work I will have to go back to another ROM. Thanks in advance.
Are you sure it flashed right? Try flashing it again, also check the roms md5sum to make sure it matches what the download site gives
Re flash a kernel. Might solve the problems
Make sure you went into tether app settings and selected device type as S3. If you have then just try to remove the app, reboot phone and reinstalling the app itself. Which can be found here ;

I need help I am on CM 10.2 and my signal is low since I flashed the ROM and WiFi doesn't connect at all and data works but soon as i go to the play store it says no connection. In have tried different ROMs and I have the same problem. Carbonrom I can access play store but if I try and install anything it says error. I am thinking its the modem I'm using madmacks modem on cm 10.2. Any help be much appreciated. I am afraid I will need to go back to stock and I'm not if that's going to help....
Update... Really now its just WiFi not connecting. Is there any way to just flash some type of WiFi driver? Or does anyone know of a WiFi fix?
HELP! I have tried manny methods and fixes, but for some reason I cannot get my WiFi Tether to work!
The log shows, everything has passed, and it should be started. I do see the Download and Upload meters at the bottom, however it will not broadcast an SSID for my devices to see!!
I have tried manny settings on it, but in the past the ones that worked were
Generic ICS/JB (wlan1)
Netd(master)
WiFi Reload 2
But so far nothing is working. I have downgraded SuperSU, Downgraded the wifi app itself, tried diffrent versions nothing seems to work!!
Hell even the native tether on the ROM itself is bugging out. First time It connected, but the data would start freaing out, closing connects etc when a device was trying to use it. Now as soon as the tether enables it dissables itself. There is another wifi tether mod that came with the app, but I refuse to pay $15 for more than 5 min of ussage per day. I think that is just dumb.
This is what I have
Sprint Note 2 L900
Carbon Mod JB v1.6
Android 4.2.2
I really dont want to flash a diffrent rom. This is the FIRST one I have actually got it to work this far past a stock rom. For some reason every 4.4 ROM I tried, the modem does not work. I tried new modem drivers but still nothing. All other JB Rom's I have tried 4.1 - 4.3 each have diffrent issues for some reason. So I need to stick to this if at all cost. If you guys can reccomend a very good stable rom I might try it but I need WiFi on my devices! Help ! THanks
