Hello! I rooted my fire stick and installed a prerooted image. Now, after installing it, it is stuck in the beginning menu, and stuck on "Searching for networks". I am quite sure I didn't damage any Wi-Fi chip or anything while opening it, so any help as to how I could make it find my wifi network? It stalls on "Searching" forever and eventually restarts every 5 minutes..
Alternatively, if any kind soul could send me their system image or data image of their working Fire Stick 2 (tank), that would be amazing, because I think the issue is not with my fire stick but with the setup system that comes before the homescreen.
I had this happen to me but on two fire tv's 2015(sloane) , if i flashed the newest version of the prerooted rom i would get the searching for networks, i would even get a bootloop. I ended up flashing 5.2.6.7_r2 , was able to set WiFi. Then I would flash the 5.2.6.8_r1 prerooted rom over it. I'm not sure if this would be the same for the stick, but it's worth a shot.
Alright. I will try finding older bin files of the Fire Stick 2, and then flash the prerooted images over it. Thanks for the advice.
That didn't work. I used the oldest possible release I could find, but it would glitch at finding networks. I think I will try Ethernet through OTG.

Same here after flashing tank-5.2.6.9-rooted_r1.zip and tank-5.2.7.0-rooted_r1.zip. Stuck on searching networks and no ADB control over the AFTV because PC RSA fingerprint is not authorized to connect through ADB.
Did you find any solutions?

I recently came from ICS, and having issues with wi-fi there. So I went back to stock, hoping my issues would be resolved. Awesome. They aren't!
Wi-Fi doesn't work. I have/had hashcode's latest kernel flashed. I don't know what to do. Any ideas? D:
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you!
How are you wiping when you flash roms? Maybe you have messed up how your kindle connects to wireless . There has been a Mac address issue with the new kernel maybe yours never reverted when you went back to stock. Have you tried other networks? Have you done a factory restore? Do you mean pure stock not rooted?

I wipe ; Factory Reset, System, Dalvik-Cache, Cache
And basically when I go to TURN-ON Wireless, no networks show. It doesn't even fully turn it on, it gets stuck in the middle of turning on the Wi-fi.
I went back PURE stock, NO ROOT. However, it seems I may have need of getting ROOT back. :/
I'm still curious if you performed a factory restore when you returned it to stock. I suppose your case could be that something burned out the wifi adaptor of the kindle although I bet its rare but not completely unreasonable. After a new clean flash when you reroot we will see those results ?
Probably totally unrelated, but have you ever had the locate-my-kindle software installed? I got similar weird behavior after a while when using that... first wifi networks were slow to come up, then it would struggle to turn on wifi, finally it'd just give an error and crash the settings manager or whatever it's called. I had to get rid of the software. Basically it was storing every single wifi network it ever came in contact with, even for just a second, and having too many entries hosed wifi. Uninstalling it seemed to clear those extra entries and restore functionality.
I do know that restoring your account from Google to your device and letting them keep copies of your wifi passwords can also cause issues although when I was testing roms for some devs on my droidx with known wifi issues ñot allow the Google restore and backup caused similar problems.
So I just rooted my Kindle Fire today and proceeded to install CM9. It successfully installed and I rebooted and when I was prompted to connect to a WiFi network I see the message "Turning Wifi On..." constantly and it won't show any WiFi Networks.
Can somebody help ASAP because I am about to leave for vacation... Thanks
Try opening the terminal and running fix-mac.sh (or you can do it via adb). If it still doesn't work try flashing another rom, like modaco or cm7, and if the problem persists contact amazon because the wifi controller is broken (happened to me and is happening to several people).
Hello everybody, I already know that you talked several times about this topic... anyway the posts I found didn't help me to get the rid of this issue.
I have a Kindle fire hd 7", sw version 7.2.2 and I'd like to exploit the 3G connection on my Nokia C6-00. There, I installed a free sw that turn my phone into a wifi hotspot... anyway the kindle is not able to hook that connection.
I tried to install the ZT-180 app... anyway after configuring SSID/WEP credentials and switching over the adhoc mode... the kindle device shows that the wifi connection configured is out of range... something not true since I tested that adhoc connectivity!
How can I fix it?

Hello I have searched the forum in hopes of someone having the same problem to no avail. I am on phone no 3 of the Verizon variant of the HTC One. My problem is that on all 3 phones I cannot connect to WiFi at all. It sees the networks it says connecting then stops and tries another 2 times and then says authentication error. I have tried 6 different WiFi networks both secured and unsecured at Starbucks, McDonald's, Burger King, Library etc all with the same result. I want to like the phone very much and for 3 phones in a row to have this issue is a bit much. I am on SW version 1.10.605.10 and not sure if this has to do with it but it says hardware version 0000. I've even contacted HTC and after 30 min on the phone from trying factory reset, booting the phone into safe mode, and everything else no go. On a side note after everything the HTC rep did admit this is a known issue on a "limited" number of devices. Oh and and factory recovery is gone as well we couldnt get it to boot into it, the screen goes black then reboots itself. The phone is on stock 4.2.2 and has never been rooted, thank you in advance

If you can boot into your hboot, you could try to root it and flash a custom ROM to if it fixes it. If not, you could return to stock and send it back...
I had this issue happen earlier today while I was tinkering with the s-off exploit trying to get it to work. I was using the Stock Rooted Odexed rom when I first noticed I couldnt connect to my WiFi network. After installing Newts NOS v1.0.2 HTCOneVZW I have had no problems with connecting to and using my WiFi.
i do not believe that this is possible i have tried it over 100 times now and i get the same results every single time
so has anyone recently bought a new fire tv stick and been able to block the new update during initial setup using this guide ?
i do not believe this guide works anymore
http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-complete-the-fire-tv-initial-setup-without-updating/#comment-251719
because i have been through it over 100 times now, and can never get past step 12
i can never get to the registration screen no matter what i do
so can somebody even confirm that this guide still works? can you please also check your SN and manufactured date and post it if you have either had success or have failed at this same step
i need to know whether to return these devices and i only have a few days left thanks
oops just realized i posted in the wrong section
in my defense there were other question threads i have been posting in in this same section
and i am new here
anyway this can be a survey and reporting thread
report the manufactured date of your new fire stick
and if you have been able to successfully block the initial update during setup or not
post your method of how you got it to work if you have had success
post the point where it failed if you have not had success
i have not seen any reports of anyone ever having gotten this to work yet and i am very skeptical that it is even still possible to complete the setup process and avoid updates on recently manufactured devices
not sure if it works but you could try disconnecting the internet from router leave the wifi switch on allow the stick to connect to wifi then i assume it will not update, please report back if it work last guy didnt

i dont know what you are talking about when you say "wifi switch" , what is that?
i do leave the wifi on , i do disconnect the internet from my router, this is what i have been doing , i did it about 100 times now , when it says connection successful then i pull the ethernet cable out from the back of the router the one going to the modem before it says checking for updates , and then it will just hang at the checking for updates screen for about an hour and then go back to the error message screen, then i hit back ,chose my network again reconnect the wifi router to my modem ,enter my network password, go to advanced enter my settings for open DNS ,hit connect again ,pull the cable out from the back of the router when it says connection successful ,then it goes to checking for updates, hangs for an hour then goes to the error screen, infinity ,there is no way to get to the registration screen following the only guide i can find on how to do this, it never works

I rooted my stick with KingRoot and followed the steps for blocking OTA for root ftv and has been working for me, wasn't even aware a update came out till I just checked here so working without issue.
This is the guide I used:
