Lets see if anyone can help....a lot of this talk of rooting and flashing is over my head...My atrix is running 2.3.4. It was like this when I got it. The wifi won't turn on at all. It only shows error. Is there anyway that I can put it back to 2.2? Or is there anyway to fix the error. Someone told me the kernels may be different??? Is putting a different ROM on the phone very difficult?
Where did you get it from?
yes it may be over your head a little but no means to stop reading up on it and remember to search before your post - there is another thread of this that was recently posted.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1180494&highlight=wifi+error
none the less. we would need more details. what rom you are using, what version of the device you have (US or Intl) key would be going through the thread you got it from. but more than likely the cause is you flashed a kernel/rom that doesn't work with your device it will be an easy fix once the details are given.
I had this issue too... I tried a few different methods to remedy it but the only one that worked was flashing a new ROM.
okay it is a US Version...4.5.91
kernel version....2.6.32.9 ( then below that is says [email protected] #11)
ok so you used an at&t rom on an at&t device? and i assume u kept the same kernel.
No...the phone came like this...I didn't do any of the updates or anything.
I had the same issue after I restored once. Could not fix it...had to reflash a ROM and the problem was fixed.

okay so is reflashing the ROM difficult? Is there any thread on here or somewhere else that I can read up on that would be of help doing this. I don't wanna brick this phone but I need the wifi or my data plan is screwed...
I hate to revive this thread but I have a wifi error I can't resolve. I first got it on 1.8.3 and flashed to 2.3.4 and it was gone. Then when I tried to install the new adroidmarket.apk, I got the wifi error and it won't go away no matter how many roms I try to or how many times reflash 2.3.4.
Essentially, wifi says there's an error and any time it tries to turn on, it reboots the phone. I've tried Alien, and Ninja and neither of them worked. I haven't tried piCrust yet.
Hey guys as the topic says anytime I change my kernel my wifi won't connect and its frustrating I've done full wipes and reflashed my Rom and I still can't get it to work
Any suggestions would be appreciated

Make sure you flash kernels with CWR. I know people who were using kernel manager to flash were having problems with wifi connecting, but that was a while ago so it may be fixed by now.
I posted a couple days ago about some issues with rooting my phone, which I solved, but now I have some new issues. When I went to turn on bluetooth, it wouldn't turn on, just try to turn on for a couple seconds and then nothing. I tried turning on wifi, and it would go straight to showing 'error' under wifi. So, I tried a different rom beast 2.3, and being at work, I can't connect the phone to my comp (encryption issues) so I only had a copy of the rom, not a kernel. Once I had beast installed I lost my network too! so I couldn't connect to my provider's network. I wiped everything, brought back AR 1.1, and am currently without bluetooth, wifi, and network. When I scan for networks my telus network shows up, as well as bell, rogers etc.
Is this a kernel issue? As soon as I get home that's the first thing I'll be trying out

yes its a kernel issue. what version of software are you running?
I had the wifi error issue, and i flashed the kernel on top of the rom and it works now
Depending on the ROM you flashed, it may or may not display "Flash Kernel after." In which then you flash it. This'll take care of all Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Issues!
If you're having issues let me know.
I had the same issue I was using stock kernel for tmobile version 1.36.531.6 on mine which I had over the air updated to 1.43.531.3. This created the wifi error and bluetooth issue, I had to try different kernels to try to figure this thing out...It will posted in my read me page when I get a chance
It's a kernel issue, there are actually three different kernels, not two, I posted this in xboarders thread, but He hasn't updated his page.
kernels
1: for tmobile software stock 1.43.531.3, this is not available anywhere on the amaze forums, i had to personally extract this from the rooted stock rom that xboarder provided
2: for tmobile software stock 1.36.531.6 and 1.36.531.5 and lower, this stock i believe is the one xboarder has up as the original boot.img
3: faux's custom kernel, this kernel will work with all versions i believe
no luck, flashed faux kernel 3x's and still same problem.
Any other ideas on what it could be?
I get a signal for the phone, no 4g icon, same error with wifi, and nothing with bluetooth or network.

you need to help me help you. I ask you again what software version are you on???? go to settings>about phone>software information and look at software version, let me know which you're on.
second: what rom are you running?
you have to answer these two questions

I told you rooting is not for you but you thought I was attacking you. But seriously if you do not know what you are doing you will mess up the phone. you still havent because there still is no s-off so pretty much your phone is kinda locked

Aren't your 2 questions the same? Just asking because when you go into software information there is no listing for software version, only software number which displays the name of the Rom you are running. Which would make it answer to both of your questions.
To the Op, are you sure the kernel flashed correctly when you flashed fauxs kernel? Did you use the EFK to flash it or did you try and flash it through CWM? Go into software information and tell us what it says under kernel

lol ok. but the thing is, is that he said he flashed faux's kernel and the stuff still didn't work, which it should no matter what rom hes running, unless of course he was running a sense 3.5 rom which im sure hes not from reading his posts. this is why i'm assuming he did not flash the kernel correctly... wouldnt u agree? we'll see when he finally posts what it says in his software information for what Rom hes running and what it says his Kernel is.

yes lets wait, with people with lets experience, I tend to dumb things down when asking questions...I am not doing it to demean them, but It's the only way to get any real good answers and being able to help them. Then over time they'll learn
sean, I was running the android revolution 1.1, and tried a couple different kernels and nothing
But I ended up fixing the issue finally. The super wipe zip file I downloaded with AR 1.1 was corrupt, and wouldn't load properly, so I was installing a rom without doing a wipe every time. So, I put a working copy of the zip on the sd card, and did a manual wipe of the caches, re-installed AR 1.1 and all is well.
So, even though I was following all necessary steps, I failed to realize that the wipe zip was faulty, and really messed everything up, and when I changed the rom again to beastmod, I didn't install the correct kernel with it, so yet more issues.
Happy to say that it's all over, and I have a much faster phone with alot less bloat on it. Thanks to everyone!

Flashed the kernel as xboarder showed in his thread and video.
Hey gang. Have to post this here until the post count goes higher.
I've been installing the updates for DSC as they are released, due to the nagging wifi freeze issue. Everything else works great.
However, something changed after .63b, perhaps the wifi_supplicant mod?
While at work, no ROM after .63b will authenticate to the WIFI. It scans and attempts connect 3 times, then goes to disabled.
Re-running ROM install for 63b and then new DSC_Test.zip (I like reboot menu option) works like a champ. Wifi freezes still occur, but are relatively infrequent. I'm on 406 Baseband.
As such, I'm unable to install the new .7, or anything after .63b.
I haven't seen anyone else mention a similar problem, perhaps they're only dealing with a single network. I use two, my home network and work network. My home network is WPA2 AES encryption, and seems to work fine with updated ROMs. My work network, nothing after .63b.
Just tried .7b again, nothing.......reloaded .63b, wifi fine.
Just wanted to bring this up. Thank you all so much for your efforts. Still the best ROM, and the best ROM support available.
Have you tried flashing Olleh kernel from Phoenix release post?
I believe I have, but was a while ago. I'll go try it again, to be sure. Thx.
UPDATE: tried several updated kernals, no avail. As soon as .6b, then .63b go on, my WIFI connects immediately. It's not in the kernal, but the ROM/framework.
I recommend a factory reset after flashing .7
Let's check this:
http://www.littlemaruko.com/Nopteam/DSC_Check.zip
--
It will revert WiFi-related binaries to 407.
--
And be sure to flash Olleh kernel, it's the only actual thing that was changed in 0.64b

Ya, I had done resets and cleans installs on the earlier releases after .63b, all had the same issue...WIFI connects to home network, but not work network (801.x EAP)
As everything is configured and re-installed now, its easier to reload .6b and .63b, without reloading everything.

Looks like you're onto something here. Have both the Olleh kernal and the DSC_Check loaded and my work WIFI authenticated properly.
Since changing 2 things at once isn't proper troubleshooting protocol, I reloaded .7b. WIFI problem came back. Reloaded DSC_Check (not Olleh Kernal), and WIFI is fine now. So there's something in those binaries my work network wouldn't authenticate to.
If I can help you figure it out, I will. All working now though. You the man!
It's enough info. I'll revert to 407 wifi binaries in future releases.
--
I just wish we figure it out before 0.7 release

Sorry about that......it was the .7 release not working that finally motivated me to speak up.

OMG!!! I was hitting my head all of yesterday. I converted my home network to WPA2-Enterprise (801.x EAP) after installing OpenLDAP and FreeRadius on my servers for AAA and keep getting the connect 3 times and then disabled. It appears from my FreeRadius logs that it send a challenge to my AP which then perhaps sends it to the DS5 and something happens there that is out of spec.
I started using DSC at .65b and that also had the same issue before I went to .7 yesterday. No idea that this would have worked on .63b.
Thanks man for helping me eliminate the LDAP or FreeRadius as the issue since these had passed with other test tools.
So i was trying to Root my Samsung and I think i miss-understood the operations and processes.
Samsung Galaxy S2
Kernel 2.3.6
Downloaded SGH-I777-ATTGalaxyS2RootStockZedomaxKernel.tar
Installed, no problems, all good, but no wifi... freaking out.
Searched the Forum... found there was an issue.
Attempted to reload the stock kernel StockKernel-PDA.tar
Installed, no problems, back to 2.6.35.7 Gingerbread.UCKK6
But Wifi will not enable....
Kinda freaking out as Dont understand how the Zedomax and Stockkernel are 6/8mb... but the rest of the post are talking about a 200/300mb file which needs to be downloaded...
Just looking for help on how to get back WiFi?...
read thru: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286432
...If you bootloop or things behave wacky, enter 3e recovery (stock kernel means stock recovery) and do a Wipe Data/Factory Reset. If you are reverting from UCKK6 back to UCKH7 you MUST perform this step or wifi will not work.
I Did not go from UCKK6 to UCKH7... i don't think?? So any help on what i need to do would be awesome!
AT&T is the carrier.
Also without having to 100% wipe and re-install.
You need to find the "Return to stock" thread and go from there.
Zedo's kernel is ancient, it will not provide wifi with UCKK6 system images.
Only my kernel, the UCKK6 stock kernel, and (maybe, not sure) SiyahKernel will provide wifi with UCKK6.
Kernels are <8 MB. 300MB = full kernel and system image restore.
My guess is you flashed a UCKH7 stock kernel.
Found a return to stock thread and it mentions a RUU_Ace_Cingular_US_1.80.502.3_Radio_12.39.60.19_2 6.06.04.06_M_release_166557_signed.exe as well as a pd98img.zip which are also both 290MB...
Found another thread for Official i9100 Firmwares KG, KH, KI, KJ, KK1/2/5, KL1/2/3, LA2 Download but none are for USA/AT&T.
There are a LOT of thread on this and i have been reading thru as many as i can...
If the Stock Kernel or Entropy512 Stock kernel File name or description can be posted i can do the update thru odin...
On the Zedomax, i saw that after i flashed... never blindly trust youtube =(

Of the items you mentioned, NONE are for this device.
I suggest searching a bit more methodically - look in this forum subsection, and look at the sticky threads in the General and Development forums. Threads are made sticky for a reason.

SHOstock2 v1.3 works well with WiFi if you want a custom ROM (ICS).
I was using UnNamed v2.2.1 and it was very stable, but I wanted to try Ics, so I'm now using the AOKP 4.0.4 but I'm having issues with the Gps, still doing some tests, if I dont find any, then I'll move to SHOstock2 v1.3

Sounds like it could be hardware failure. To test that, flash back to straight stock followed by a wipe data/factory reset from 3e recovery. If the problem persists, then it is either a problem with your phone hardware, or a problem with the available wifi router signal. You can test the latter by trying to connect on different routers.

I dont want to belive that my hardware is broken.
But i flashed again my SGH-I777, and the problem persists.
My wifi just says "Turning on" when I push button, and it never boosts again.
I changed the kernel and the rom. I restored to old factory settings, and nothing works.
I would like to get back my wifi.
i appreciate your opinions about this issue.
WIFI suddenly stopped
My WIFI also suddenly stopped working
on 7-1-13 I installed aokp_i777_ota-eng-task650_6.24.2013 worked for a month
Yesterday the WIFI stopped connecting. Got a constant "Turning on Wi-Fi" message but nothing else
I installed aokp_JB_i777-ota-eng.task650-ktoonsez-11.20.2012 which I had been running for the last 6 months
Same problem
I did a full wipe. Wiped cache, data, dalvik. Did a fresh install, then wiped cache, dalvik and fix permissions.
Same
a i9100 thread linked a video of a leaking battery inside that disabled wifi
took phone apart, no obvious signs of hardware failure (have pics)
used odin3 v1.85 with ATTGalaxyS2Unroot_SGH-i777.tar to unroot
wifi will turn on scan for a minute then turn off -- will not find any AP
router working fine with my other i777
anything i missed?

hey brother, first of all, your wifi is not damage fisically. But you are in the same situation that i was.
my SGH-I777 is working very well after too much work with it.
i gave my cellphone to my little brother, and two days later he told that the wifi was working fine.
i made this face O_O i couldnt believe what he was saying.
right now i dont know, how he resolved the problem, the only things that he did was change the OS i guess.
i will call him tomorrow to ask about the solutions, but man, dont worry too much coz you just like my brother, will resolve the problem
It is not hardware...
found another thread that suggests FXR WiFi fixer app from play store.
Ran it on the the AOKP JB 4.1.2 from 11.20.20102
seemed to solve issue -- connected to wifi but lost connection after ~30 min
same issue -- constant "Turning WiFi on" message.
ran FXR again -- connects temporarily then loses connectivity
same thing every time i run FXR
should i use a different ROM?
which one?
any help is GREATLY appreciated
Thanks

You could ask in the AOKP thread if there are others experiencing wifi issues with that rom. If not, a fresh install of the rom may solve the issue. It definitely sounds like a firmware issue, but when there is any question whether the issue is firmware or hardware, the test is to flash back to stock and see how it works. As far as which firmware to use, there are a number of different firmware that are completely stable. You should read through the developer threads, and then try them out to see how you like them.
