Hello there,
I've been using my Atrix (unlocked bootloader, Orange Stock 2.3.4) for over 2 weeks and yesterday, suddenly, the Wifi stopped. I can't activate the Wifi [in other words, it is not a network issue], it simply doesn't enable. When I try to enable the wifi, it takes like 20 secs and after that I recieve a "Error" msg. Just it.
Sometimes, the Atrix reboots while trying to enable the wifi.
Things I did so far:
- Wipe data (factory reset via phone and via android recovery)
- Wipe cache
- Reflashed Orange Stock 2.3.4 ROM
- Flashed another ROM (nCrust).
*edit: - Flashed another ROM (Ninja 0.4)
*edit: - Changed the kernel from INTL-MBR-d00-GB-Kernel-0.1.2-ext4-sv to INTL-MBR-d00-original-kernel
*edit: - Changed the kernel back to INTL-MBR-d00-GB-Kernel-0.1.2-ext4-sv
I've been looking around for problems like mine and a found a couple dead topics with no decisive answer.
Any suggestions? Could be a hardware failure?
I'm just asking because I want to use the warranty as my last resource.
Thanks in advance

Try forgetting the network on your phone and renaming your wifi and connect to it.
Sounds weird, but it worked for me.

You need to do a full wipe and then flash a ROM.

Thanks for the answer!
Full wipe? How can that be done? What's the difference between "Wipe data/factory reset" from the Android Recovery and the full wipe?
Thanks again
Mine did this before the bootloader was unlocked.. is your bluetooth working? I did a few sbf attempts and ended up rma ing mine

Yeah, my Bluetooth is working.
I'm trying to change the kernel.
I got this problem after i restored my nandroid backup with other kernel than the present one.
Anyway , i just did full wipe and installed the rom again, now everything is ok.

What kernel are u using? How did you do a full wipe? I read all the "[Updated 8-2-2011] THE BEGINNERS (N00B) GUIDE!!! N00BS LOOK HERE FOR YOUR HOW TOs" topic without finding how a full wipe can be done
Faux123 OC 1.1GHZ kernel.
Get into recovery and flash cache, dalvik-cache and factory\data wipe.
Its written in that guide under ROMs & Kernels section:
3) Boot into CWM Recovery
4) Wipe Dalvik Cache (under advanced in CWM)
5) Wipe Cache Partition
6) Wipe data/factory reset

I did exactly as you say and nothing changed.
This is what I did after:
fastboot -w (to wipe again)
moto-fastboot flash system ORFR234-system.img (Orange stock 2.3.4)
moto-fastboot flash boot ORFR234-tegrapart-d00100.boot.img
fastboot reboot
After the reboot, I installed the kernel "INTL-MBR-d00-GB-Kernel-0.1.2-ext4-sv" again, from the Android Recovery menu.
And still nothing... No wifi + auto-reboots ;/
Wait, the MBR-d00 is " [<{ Tegrapart=d00 Compatible with ATT U4_5.9.1 ROM}>] ", for ATT, not for Orange system.
Don't you need to install the other kernel ?
This one: "[<{ Tegrapart=1100 Compatible with Orange 4_5.2.1A ROM}>] " ???
Just flash the original kernel to see if the Wifi is working ok.
Sorry if i wrong or missing something, i got AT&T Atrix device, im not an international user.
When I type (su) cat /proc/cmdline I get this result "tegrapart=mbr:d00:100:800,kpanic:2100:400:800 ...", that's why I need a kernel d00 compatible, I think.
And thanks again for helping me out, Ofek
OK you doing fine.
After you fastboot flash the system and the boot img files, and reboots, is the WIFI working without the error? and no auto-reboots?
Nope ;/
Wifi still not working. I still can't activate it
Did you try to update the radio?
I don't think so... I'll look into it

wipe data/factory reset only clears user data. to do a full wipe you need to do that, clear the cache, and wipe system but then you need to have a unlocked BL so you can flash a rom image right away.
I think I got the answer... It's the kernel, I believe.
When I use a terminal emulator on my device and use the command #modprobe -v /system/lib/dhd.ko it says that it couldn't load the file.
Still looking into it.
Changed to mbr_d00 GB Kernel Version 0.1.3 and still no wifi.
Trying the mbr_d00 original Kernel Version
No success so far ;/
This sounds to me like a radio problem. Just my two cents, I would look for the answer in flashing the stock radio.

How are you wiping from recovery if you're saying you can't get into recovery?
Also, doesn't sound like you have tenfars recovery if you're getting the exclamation sign which sounds like the stock recovery instead.
whats the reason for the reset? if anything you can just reflash the rom if somethings messed up or download another one. there are also 2.3.4, 4.5.9.1 OTA roms for unlocked bl's. just look around in here and you fill find it.
Boot into fastboot and fastboot -w to wipe.
when I reflash the rom all my previous info still there so I can't add my google account cause it's already there. the problem that motoblur it's also there but not showing, also it enters tenfars and after the exclamation I can only see some chinese letters. I'll try with fastboot

Should always wipe when flashing a ROM.
Wipe Dalvik, cache, and factory reset/data, or fastboot -w, prior to flashing. Many people also repeat after flashing.

Some of the ROM's perform a wipe for you during the flash process. You could always try flashing one of those also. Just wipe Dalvik and cache before flashing.

When I had a captivate, anytime I flashed a new rom it wiped my phone. Now it looks like the theme is applied but all my applications, settings, texts, everything stays on the phone.
Also, I just installed the cherrypi rom and I don't have a camera app. Tried reinstalling and still nothing. Does launcher pro mess with roms? Didn't think so but checking...

You need to wipe before and after flashing custom ROMs, bro.
If flashing via CWM, wipe data / factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik... before and after.
If flashing via fastboot, do a "moto-fastboot -w", after flashing the rom.
Alright in CWM I select wipe data and wipe dalvik. It still doesn't wipe anything. I thought this was weird so I asked. I may just do it from boot (hold down after power on, select recovery, etc.). Ill try that and see what happens. Its just going to wipe from internal right?

You have to use tenfar's cwm to wipe. If you're using Rom Manager's recovery then the wipe doesn't work.
The best way so far to clean data is start phone in fastboot mode (turn on phone with vol down key pressed, then press vol up) and using command line send fastboot -w, if you need to delete other partition you can use fastboot erase <partition>, then fastboot restart
Thanks, I know what I did now. I updated CWM from the market and reflashed to a different version...it was working fine after I unlocked my BL, and then I thought it just stopped working. Thanks for the help folks!

Hi,
I just bought an AT&T SGS2. I began by rooting it, flashing cwm and trying to flash MIUI. But the phone would not boot up. So I downloaded ODIN one click back to stock and flashed that, but the phone still does not boot past the AT&T screen. I've tried flashing different roms from cwm none of which boot up.
Please point me in the right direction to get the phone to boot.
Thanks
Can you get into cwm? Id bet you didn't wipe before you flashed

+1 this.
boot into cwm>factory wipe data/factory>delete cache partition>delete dalvik cache> install zip from sdcard>pick your ROM...
Thanks guys wiping the all the caches did the trick. I didn't know it was a requirement for this phone. I came from a Captivate where is wasn't required to wipe everything.

He doesn't have CWM if he used the one-click back to stock, unless it failed and didn't flash a kernel. Stock kernel has 3e recovery.

Even on the Captivate, you had to wipe whenever flashing a new ROM. Returning to stock is, effectively, flashing a new ROM (the stock one).
Hi everybody! I have rooted and flashed Lee's latest ROM and after that my WiFi not working. I found this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17301247&postcount=14 by ancola66 so I followed the 2nd method.
OK, first I was unable to overwrite the bcm4329.ko file but then from another place I found useful solution for that issue:
# busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
# chmod 666 /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko
OK, after that I successfully replaced the bcm4329.ko file that I downloaded from the same thread's second post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1248838
But the wifi issue still existis...
Alternatevly I can of course just flash another ROM... maybe Virtuoso? Or what you would suggest. Virtuoso is Android 4.0 isn't it?
My Evo 3D X515m: HBoot Version is 1.49.0018, S-On [HTC Unlock method] + Revolutionary shutteru CWM recovery cwm-4.0.1.4-shooteru.img, now ROM LeeDrOiD_3D_V5.4
I was having a same problem like you when used it at the first time, but yesterday I flash again and do a following step:
1. In recovery, i wipe all phone data and wipe dalvik cache
2. Then I install a ROM, when aroma installer give an option to wipe again, do it (this I didn't do when the first time flashing LeeDroid)
3. After the installation is completed, I'm stuck at the bootloader. So I flash a boot.img via prompt with this command fastboot flash boot boot.img and it's work..
4. Let me know if the problem still occurred.

thank you sir
just a quick little tid bit of info about issues that are commonly caused by a kernel...
Wifi, Bluetooth, touch screen, sound, camera, and your overall power management are all functions of the Linux-droid kernel. If your wifi is flat out not working, if your touch screen does not respond, if your sound is not working… you see where this is going…. Then in many instances you should just flash another kernel to see if that corrects the issue. If it does, then your root cause of problems has been found.
Basic trouble shooting and logic can save you a lot of time and headache if you know what direction to look when finding the cause of an issue.
Sorry for no reply for a long time. Tried now. Didn't help. Again Wifi error Must pick another rom but not sure wich one?

Thanks. It's very small so probably not a ROM but just a update. I don't need to full wipe and Calvin cache clean before I install it or I should full wipe first?
Meanwhile I tried to install "MikRunny-3vo-v1.13-GSM-signed.zip" - I full wiped etc. and installed Clockwork as it was suggested on MikRunny thread and flashed MikRunny. After that the HTC green message after reboot came up and never went away. It got stuck on it. OK, I full wiped again and flashed "ROMeOS3D_LOCKSCREEN_DATE_ALLIGNMENT.zip" but that gave me same issue. Then I flashed again LeeDroid back and it works but no WiFi. Also my friends report that after that my signal has gone worse and very often they don't hear everything I say.

The not wiping anything part is probably your problem. You should always at least wipe cache and dalvik. Data and system can stay intact. Make sure you downloaded the right version aswell. (Cdma/gsm) wipe those and try again. If that doesn't work, perhaps try those fixes youre refering to and if that doesn't work, full wipe.

Which rom are you referring to? cm10 is his latest i believe? Is your photon unlocked & rooted? What Recovery did you flash? (joker has A CWM specially made for his roms) Unless you are upgrading a rom to a newer version of it, or you are using aroma installer, it is always important to wipe your phone prior to flashing. Im a wee bit OCD about it, so i
1) Wipe data/factory reset
2) Wipe Cache Partition
3) Format System
4) Format Data
5) Format Cache
6) Wipe Dalvic Cache
Then begin flashing. For safe measures always flash your rom twice to ensure it has been properly flashed
*edit*
Did you flash from a stock rom? If so, which gingerbread version was it running? and did you ensure to update it before you flashed?
