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.

Not the same as what Noob4Life is posting.
First of all, I'm in the UK and was running the stock 2.2 or whatever was the stock was for Orange in the UK a month back, until I finally decided to upgrade to CM7.
A few weeks went by, all was awesome. Until last week my Wifi stopped working, my bluetooth stopped working and my Mobile hotspot stopped working. And looking around on a few posts on here, it seems that it is hardware based.
So what I'm asking is, does anyone know of a way I can go back to the stock 2.3 that has just been released in the UK? So it seems like I never did anything to the phone and then I can see if it is infact hardware, or software based. So if it is hardware related, I'm hoping I'll be able to get a free repair / replacement, as I have insurance. But from what I've seen, it will cost me if I take it in with CM7 on.
Thanks for any help anyone is able to provide.

Like Sexywacko said, first try out a fruitcake or another rom - best to take the new AT&T with the corresponding radio found here.
If it still doesn´t work, try another one. If all goes bad, you have to get the SBF from the OrangeUK GB-Update found here - extract the system, boot and webtop + the radio and fastboot flash those. This comes as close to stock as you can get without using SBF+RSDlite...This post will help you.
And don´t be afraid - I read on multiple occasions, that people had no problem getting their unlocked/rooted devices repaired without any waranty-problems. Just don´t tell them!
Thanks for the help guys.
Just put Fruitcakes "2.3.5 System and Boot NO Webtop" on, and turning wifi on is still causing " error " and causing a reboot.
How do I install new radio things? I'm a complete noob at this, and only put Cyanogenmod on using a guide ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1336232 )
And now it's stuck rebooting all the time because it's trying to turn Wifi on.
Flash the 36P radio from the Fruitcakes thread through CWM in the same way you flashed 2.3.5. Remember to wipe cache first in CWM.
Well installing the 36p seems to have done the trick. Thanks alot dude!
Updated to Fruit Cakes 2.3.5 System and Boot NO Webtop with ATT 1.77-36p radio. Seems to have fixed the problem.
Don't want to risk putting Cyanogen back on incase it stops working again.
Thanks for your help again guys

I am using CM7 weekly #3 with Faux stopgap+ 1.0GHz kernel and 36P radio with no issues. Works very well for me.
It's stopped working again. Stupid thing. Going to try and restore it to stock orange ROM and see if that fixes it.
Anyone able to help?
Think I'm just going to give up and " Accidently " drop my phone in the bath and claim on insurance. This having no wifi is doing my head in. I've tried CM7 with " ATT .91 Radio " and " ATT 1.77-36p " radios. And I've tried Fruitcakes 2.3.5 System and Boot NO Webtop with " ATT .91 Radio " and " ATT 1.77-36p " radios and still no success in getting wifi to work for over 2 hours without crashing my phone / not working again.
Motorola Phone Tools isn't picking my phone up properly, it's just picking up my IMEI number, not my Carrier or Model.
Must say I'm at my wits end.
Its obviously. A hardware issue do. A insurance clame. On it cause it sours like the radio is broken

I'm afraid it's looking that way.
Well I've decided to try RSD as my last resort to try and get my phone wifi working. I unlocked the bootloader and installed cyanogen using this Guide. I then put Fruitcakes 2.3.5 System and Boot NO Webtop on and the radio mentioned in this Thread with little success at getting it fully working.

Looking to do the same, currently unlocked and rooted running CM7.
Is it possible to install the official 2.3.4 orange UK and have it locked with root access removed?

I downloaded the latest RSD and downloaded this image
Booted phone up in RSD mode ( power button + Volume Up ) then plugged it into my computer. Waited for all the drivers to install. Opened RSD, loaded the image and set it going. Do not unplug it at all until it says " Please boot up phone manually " or something along those lines.
Once it'd done it was loop booting, so I booted it into Android Recovery after pulling my battery out ( Power Button + Volume Down ) and then pressed the Volume up and Volume Down buttons together to get the menu up, then chose " Wipe date/Factory reset " and then " Wipe cache partition " and let it boot up again. Didn't solve my Wifi problem though.
Phoned Orange up today, explained that my wifi, bluetooth and hotspot all stopped working and that I'd already done a factory reset and updated to gingerbread. The guy was shocked that I'd basically done everything on his menu to try and solve the problem. They are sending a guy out tomorrow to give me a replacement phone for £25 on my insurance. Winner!
BEFORE I START... THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM WITH MY HOME WIRELESS ROUTER
Don't be that guy
I bought my ATT Atrix last Jan. Everything worked. I rooted it. Everything worked. I updated to 2.3.4. Everything worked. Rooted again. Still worked
Starting Feb. 2, 2011 the wifi and bluetooth have stopped working. When I go to turn either on it tries for a few seconds, then gives me "Error", and then the phone reboots in about 10 seconds.
This is a video of the exact problem I am having. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a73A5oXxpq8 I am not the guy who posted the video. Please don't bug him. I am the first to comment on it.
The phone got so bad yesterday that it got locked into a constant reboot stage where I was lucky to get out one text before it rebooted.
I was able to unlock the bootloader using adb and cwm. I then flashed the GingerMod 2.3.6 #7 Mod. My constant rebooting problem was solved but the WiFi/bluetooth error still remained as well as the reboot while trying to turn either on.
I then read through [FIX] Final fix for nonworking WIFI on unlocked ATT Atrix in some countries This does not seem to work with 2.3.6.
Does anyone know how to get my WiFi working again?
Not sure if it will help you but it helped me with my small wifi issues.
Since i purchased my Atrix I couldn't connect to some wifi spots.
Lets say 1 of 20 spots fails. Just couldn't get ip address.
And just yesterday i flashed the final version of faux 024r ketnel (for neutrino 2.2 ROM[CM Weekly #6]) and problem wanished. At least i connected to spot created on my laptop that i couldn't do before

Latest and greatest for AT&T Atrix is the 36P radio. Could try updating to that if you haven't already. Find 36P here:

Hi Paygan,
Just remember that if you make any change like unlock the bootloader you will loss your warranty, so, if you still have the warranty, you should consider to use it to fix your problem.
I just accepted to lose my warranty because my phone was ok (and I hope it keep that way!

If both wifi and bluetooth are not working i'd say 99% it's a hardware issue since they're on the same chip.
i had the same problem a while ago after i dropped my phone. it was unlocked but i was able to warranty it out to AT&T by flashing the stock 2.3.4 blah.blah.91 sbf onto it, which does not re-lock it but it does hide the Unlocked msg that you see at boot
I am having the same problem. running 2.3.6 build 4.5.141
After 2 hours of wifi my phone returned to the same wifi error loop including restarts and the rest. I have tried all fixes on this site and other sites. This occurred soon after I unlocked my device. Does anyone know the cause of this problem?!
I heard hardware problem, maybe it's unlocking from 2.3.6 that caused it since I was also running that

Yeah I've got the same problem too, tried to re-install CM7 and it didn't work.
I haven't tried any of the other solutions yet though.
try changing to a blur based rom if not the stock blur rom. this should stop the problem as it did for me.
Hi,
I have a major issue with my WiFi and reboots.
Background: I am using an ATT phone within the UK on T-Mobile network.
Randomely, the other day, the WiFi turned off and when I turned it back on, it says Error....
I have tried everything I can think of; wiping and reinstalling rom, erasing everything in fastboot, updating the radio (further question on that) and also kernels! Finally I tried FruitCake to get back to stock, still no luck!!
Radio: Are radio's carrier specific, i.e. could I flash a radio meant for Europe to replace the ATT one? (I am on .36)
What can I do now, please. Thanks

If it helps, i accidentally formatted the PDS partition a while back and the reason for reboot is AP KERNEL PANIC
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am having similar problems. Just last night my phone started rebooting frequently after having turl's v8 build of cm9 for probably a week and it was working great. However, now I have tried wiping everything, putting on different cm7 or cm9 builds and what I have come to the conclusion is anytime I turn the WiFi on, it reboots.
It is not even connecting to anything, just turning it on makes it reboot. I was on the .36 radio with this issue, I tried using the .37P radio and it did not fix it.
Does anyone have any other ideas to try and fix?
Benny,
Do you get the option to turn it on? I'm on cm9 and it'll show up like the attached after it reboots.
No. I dont have that screen. It just says wifi error and Bluetooth crashes as well....

From the other threads I have read, I think we are boned. It seems like the Broadcom WiFi/Bluetooth chipset is borked and the only fix other people have gotten is through an actual repair. I hope you are under warranty - I'm going to revert to stock and hope they accept it.

But, how come whenever I flash a new rom, the WiFi will work temporarily, i.e. it would connect, obtain IP etc for a few minutes then just not work until I reflash?
Surely that is not hardware?

Did you use Titanium Backup, and restore apps like Maps, Music, and YouTube? People are saying this can cause issues.
Also did you restore call logs after flashing? I experienced my wifi and mobile networking dying after doing that on only some of the new roms out there lately. It's a bug with one of the base roms, that a lot of custom roms are based off of. It was fixed with a new base rom version, but some of the custom roms have yet to officially update. Updates are under way though. Try out Morrison's 0.7 and see if you get the same result. It's been updated.
Although, you could be having a completely different issue. If you mean you can just leave it running after flashing and the wifi dies, I don't know what to say.

Tried all of the above and still nothing unfortunately. Just want to update on symptoms of the phone if that helps:
Everything eventually gets more and more buggy, even recovery is really laggy and slow
Data will stop after a few days use, and only fix that i know of is to reflash
WiFi does not work, it connects for about 30 seconds after a reflash, but then nothing.
Logcat says - Failed to Load WiFi Driver (after reporting WiFi HUNG)
The phone can crash when I plug in the MicroUSB to charge, when it restarts it says AP KERNEL PANIC.
I have tried everything except for flashing via RSD lite, do you think that could work?
Thanks
BUMP,
Any help at all with this unique situation would be very helpful.
Thanks
Hi,
I have an Atrix4g international (Uk retail) which is rooted and unlocked. Until about a week ago I had been running Aura ROM with a days 1.45 kernel. This was all good but I experienced some 3g data problems.
In the end I got fed up of not being able to download pictures when I received an mms and decided to flash back to my original rom. Once done I thought maybe the over clock 1.45 kernel would work with the stock ROM. It didn't and failed but I then noticed my wifi showed error where it usually said connected.
I reflashed my stock room from my recovery backup and it started working ok again. Both times I flashed my recovery it said error with recovery but the phone details read as it did before when it had the original ROM as it was bought.
Since doing I this I have noticed my phone being really laggy.... I also noticein advanced task killer that I never seek to have more than 80mb free ram.
I checked this against task manager and titanium backup and they seem to agree with the figures tb actually said I was using 100% at one point.
I even tried a factory reset fearing the hard brick stories.
I have wiped the davlik and cache and perfomed a factory wipe from recovery mode
Looks like I have a problem..
Anyone got any ideas on how to rectify this.... Is it likely to be anything to do with partitioning???
You atrix geniuses out there are my last hope so I thank you in advance for any wisdom.
Are you using the stock Gingerbread ROM from your carrier? If so, it sounds like you might need to flash a kernel that has the international RAM fix. Try downloading and flashing this if you're on stock Gingerbread.
http://faux.androidro.ms/Atrix-GB-Kernel-024r-ext4-1.00GHz.zip
That's the 1Ghz kernel made by faux123 for Gingerbread ROMs. After you flash that check to see that you have more RAM available.

Don't ask.
Glad to see you've solved your problem though
Knock on effect??!!
Although I now have many many more rams than an Afghani goat hearder this process has thrown up another problem. The same error message is showing up where it usually says connected under wiring settings and wiring will not activate or connect.
Yes I was trying to flash back to my stock rom (via cm rom manager-reboot into recovery-restore.....)
Ok so the story continues...
after receiving your advice I flashed the file you linked to. And as I reported ram was up dramatically but then when I tried to connect to wifi it wouldn't. I went to settings -wireless settings- checked wiring on check box to turn it on and underneath in grey writing it threw up the message "error" where it usually says "connecting..." or "connected" etc
I went back through cmrm to recovery mode and did the wipe data-wipe cache-restore rom again but did not reflash the file you linked... checked wifi and worked but ram had gone again.
Went back into clement and went through whole process in one. Ie factory data wipe-wipe cache-restored ROM-flashed file you linked to....
Set up phone again checked wifi and still shows error. But my rams are back...
???? Puzzled!
Dont suppose you have an idea whats going on?

Thats strange cos thats what I was thinking when I wrote it... lol
Problems not yet entirely solved though..... :-(
Desperation is now setting in
Just an update... and help to solve this is really appreciated.
I have trawled the site and others regarding wifi error.
People seem to suggest its a number of things either hardware or software flashing kernels roms radios wifi fix zips etc etc
I can confirm my problem is not hardware.
I flashed back to aura and wifi function is back. And rams up to normal.....
but I have the original problem I cannot send or download pictures when received via mms.
Is there a fix for this?
I assume not and so therefore would like to ask the question does anyone know of a Stock ATRIX international (uk) retail Rom that is compattable with an ATRIX international (uk) retail phone that has been rooted and unlocked.
For some reason my recovery must be corrupt and is giving me jip.
Maybe someone knows why my recovery isn't working and knows how to fix it?
Thanks all in advance...
When I had the problem with wifi reporting just "error", I fixed it by just redownloading the kernel and reflashing it. Maybe try another recovery if that doesn't work, but I don't know why it wouldn't. :|
The wifi problem is most likely the kernel. Since you are on Aura now though with no data or MMS I would recommend changing your APN settings. Try googling the correct APNs for your carrier and changing them under Settings>Wireless and Networks>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names.

Why dont you try Nottachtrix if you want a blur based rom, or Neutrino for a cm7 based rom?
What recovery are you using? If you arent using Romracers recovery, try flashing his and seeing if his recovery fixes your problem.
Not sure which forum this should be in so i'm asking it here. Apparently, I can't activate my new sim card for the 4G unless i'm stock, unrooted, locked bootloader. I guess I jumped the gun after I got my phone, but before I got the sim card and rooted, unlocked, etc. I think I know the steps to take to get it back to compltely stock, but I want to make sure.
I think I need to run the script and relock the bootloader, then flash the stock RUU file.
Is that correct? Is that the correct order? Am I missing any steps?
Thanks a bunch for any speedy repsonses because i'm in a bind right now and have to get this resolved by morning.

I'm pretty sure being unrooted is not a requirement. Just install this ROM and boot the phone with your SIM inserted. It should activate fine.
OK. I will try that because I am having a heck of a time getting activated on my CM rom. Even had a Verizon tech trying to help me for over an hour.
I see that ROM requires me to flash a new boot.img. When I rooted, the directions said to flash dirtyracuns Hboot. Will flashing this one effect anything? If I change ROMs, do I need to flash DR hboot again?
Thanks for the info...

Boot and HBoot are two very different things. Flashing different boot images will not affect your engineered hboot.
You definitely don't want to talk to vzw reps if you're running cm. The more tech support requests they get from users running non-official builds, the less likely they will be to ever allow phones with unlocked bootloaders on their system.
Turns out my problem was from a borked radio. Being new to this, I didn't even know that could happen. Saw mention of it in another thread when I was just browsing around. Thought maybe that might be my problem so I followed the directions for fixing a borked radio and got connected right away. Boy this forum is helpful. Thank you.
BTW, what is the best network setting to use if I am in the US only, Global, LTE\CDMA or GSM\UMTS?

BTW, what is the best network setting to use if I am in the US only, Global, LTE\CDMA or GSM\UMTS?

I am having a similar activation problem. What did you do to fix the radio? My problem started a few days ago.
I found the RUU for just the radio and applied it. No change. I get a LTE signal but the phone doesn't know it's own number and thinks it is roaming.
I followed the steps in this thread to restore my radio: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45476579#post45476579
Unfortunately, I never was able to get the radio to work with any of the CM based ROMs so I have ended up using a stock based ROM. ViperLTE. It is an excellent ROM and works great, but I got the phone recently so that I could run CM ROMs. Had I known I was going to have so many problems, I would have waited until February when my upgrade date came up and got one of the newer phones. I guess I still can, but I'd hate to waste the money I paid for this phone so soon.
sim issue
Turns out my SIM was actually bad. When you looked in the about, the SIM id number didn't show up. It had worked under 10.2 stable for several weeks before it stopped working. It had gotten worse over a week or so. At first a reboot would fix it. I did a clean flash of CM 11 at this point. After replacing the SIM the id number showed up but still couldn't make calls.
The problem went away after restoring a CM 10.2 back that had worked. I then did a dirty flash of CM 11 over it, with the kit kat gapps. It all worked out fine. I am speculating that a clean flash of CM 11, might not work.
