You need a newer recovery.
And NO I will not tell you how to flash it............the sticky threads(the first few ones) have links for the guides

Hi,
Does anybody know any easy to follow guides or steps to installing custom roms on the Galaxy W. I have upgraded from an Xperia X8 and it seems more complex than that.
Any assistance is appreciated

Please read the threads in development section.
Hi,
Yeah i did check that forum but i couldnt realy find anything which is relatively easy enough to follow in order to install CWM.
I havent as yet rooted the device or done anything else. However it is running the latest Samsung firmware and isnt carrier locked.
Arco68 has posted a cwm recovery in the galaxy w hacking and development section. You can use Odin (simple way) or adb (complex way) to flash cwm. Then once this is done you can go into recovery. You will notice many things are different to standard recovery. Go into install rom rom sdcard (hint that you need a rom on ur SD) and it will flash the rom you choose. Simplez. PS. If your gonna choose a rom I'd recommend cyanogenmod (currently in alpha but not many bugs and still good)

Either rename or use fastboot flash boot bootanzu126.img, presuming you are downloading this kernel.

You should actually READ the instructions before flashing anything or applying any mods to your Phone, if more People did xda wouldn't be filled with pointless posts like this reporting things have absolutely nothing to do with the ROM/kernel/mod or whatever.

Trouble with that is, the original post makes no mention of a new kernel. And there's nothing on the FXP Google site, either about a new kernel for 201.
I would've thought a problem with wifi would definitely be a problem with the ROM/kernel/mod. Trouble with this site is there are far too many posts knocking people down - and with a thread that's only 7 posts long prior to this, a little patience and a point in the right direction to the kernel sources - as you appear to know everything there is to know - wouldn't have gone amiss.

What's in the instructions for flashing....
FXP said:
HOWTO
Install instructions:
1. Install a Recovery (there are some around this forum)
2. Flash Rom
3. Flash gapps
4. Wipe (only required 1st time)
5. Flash kernel (fastboot flash boot boot.img)

I've replied to a post in the exact same manner I would of with someone who had made 50,000 posts, should you read the instructions before flashing anything, YES as I've stated, and if you or anyone else doesn't like my opinion in response to a user who's started a thread to report an issue then gone on to state they haven't followed all the instructions, tough, you either understand my methods or you don't.
The kernel is in the zip they downloaded which they should already know as they've been running 151.

thanks for your help, because i have been upgrading from 147 to 151 without flashing the boot.img in the zip file, so i would assume that i dont have to flash it, because the wifi was working all along when i upgraded to the different versions
now that i have flashed the new kernal, it works all fine now!! thanks for everyone who has helped though!

ALWAYS update the kernel, then if you do run in to issues like this you know it's something else.

There is too many way to flash custom recovery. For that you can use my signature (there is a link for CWM).
And if you need to know about custom recovery then read these Tutorial - 1, Tutorial - 2, Tutorial - 3 or use search option on XDA.
fine

Just flash the gapps via CWM (same as ROM flashing)
All instruction are available on that thread. If you have any question regarding CM11 on WFS then you need to read thoroughly that thread.

yes read the OP in CM12 thread in original android section, you need to migrate to newlayout and then flash CM12. If you don't have idea what is NL then read the thread for the New Layout again in original android section
