This started happening a few days ago, the wifi whenever attempted to be turned on, would just say error. I have done multiple factory resets and soft resets. The device has been rooted before, no roms installed. The only things I haven't tried is rom flashing because when ever I try to download CWRM it requires me to download something off the phone, and well, I don't have a data plan either. Does anyone have a solution?

I think you have a hardware problem being you wiped clean and reinstalled. time for a replacement maybe??
Replacement isn't an option :/. Something I've noticed is when I reset the wifi will work for a good 10 seconds then fail and constantly give me an error.

Girlfriends Fascinate just decided to randomly stop doing anything except showing lights on soft keys after rooting and lag fix. Decided if I've got to restore should try this. First flash I got stuck at a similar issue after VZW logo. Wiped data and cache and was able to boot but entered in to FC hell. Working on flashing back to stock Odin posted in other thread as we speak.
Update: realized I had only wiped data and not cache as well. after doing that was able to flash back to stock, trying this once more.
Update 2: No go, still FCing like crazy. Flashing back to stock.

I had the same issue. Install stock and then Angels. Wipe cache only and it should work. If you cant activate Google do a reset in settings and all is fine.
I'm sorry, but that's exactly what I experienced rooting and running the lag fix on a Vibrant. There is something flawed with the lag fix. I don't know what it is, but this is the 4th experience I've read about that's the exact same as mine.
Could Samsung change the file system with an OTA update? Is that even possible?

I recommend using odin and falling up's odin files. I'd link you, but my phone doesn't link.
My brother just got a replacement phone and updated to ED03. I am trying to get him rooted so he can Tibackup his apps and data from his old FC.
Problem I'm having is the FascinateRoot_v02.zip is continuing to come back with errors. After the phone reboots the file can't seem to copy the su and busybox files to the phone.
Any ideas?
TIA

Odin this: http://www.mediafire.com/file/06al8prkgj29gps/cwm-recovery-ALL-3-30-FIX.tar and then immediately boot straight into recovery via the 3 finger method and then flash this: http://www.mediafire.com/?38vozx7n37u02a5 After flashing this open up titanium backup and it will probably tell you it could not obtain root but simply hit the problems buttons and download busybox and boom, you're rooted,

No problem, if you do it exactly as per my instructions it will give you root for sure. No errors or none of that garbage. The only problem that could happen is if you get a bad or corrupt download of the linked files.
I got a question ever since I rooted ED03 I have been having problems with first no 3g connection then not being able to send or receive texts. I had to go back to stock twice and wanted to know if the version of clockwork could cause the problem I was using i think 2.5 the red one. Will version 3 maybe work better? Or do you think my problem is unrelated to rooting/clockwork?

Completely unrelated. Try dialing *228, option 1, then option 2. Should help. If not, it could be a number of things, especially with the way Verizon's 3g has been for a lot of people lately. The fix for the 3g loss is either have them do a reset on your data, or, through their website, suspend the service on your phone, then re-enable it, it will reset the line, and usually fixes data issues.
I flashed clockworkmod recovery from the CWM app. I rebooted and gave me bootloop. I force rebooted into recovery, cleared cache and dalvik cache and booted fine. The problem is that wifi says turning on, but never actually turns on. After the boot every app gave a force close so I installed them again with titanium.(I don't know if it is relevant, but I say it anyway!). I am on stock, rooted 3.2. Any help will be appreciated guys.
EDIT: I tried rebooting, and activating/deactivating flight mode (I forgot to mention that I have the 16gb 7500).

Don't know if it will help but it has helped me in the past to goto settings and have it forget all the wifi connections and then when it refinds the wifi you want to use connect to it again setting it up add needed, mine was just the default settings. Rebooted and everything was good to got.

could be wrong but if it just keeps saying 'turning on' then eventually unchecks itself, this is usually a kernel module error. try reflashing your kernel and/or rom?

Well yes. I wanted to see if anytjing could be done by remaining stock. But I think it is about time to check out the ICS build. And try another rom. I think I will go for overcome. But thanks anyway!
sent from my nokia 3210
Might wanna try different options, Overcome has it's own stock kernel, aswell as ICS (Pershoots) but you are welcome to try what suits you best Hopefully the problem fixes itself, magically
Actually I flashed pershoot's kernel but nothing happened. A factory reset solved the problem, but I went on and installed ICS. It's just perfect! Anyway, it has its bugs, so I flashed overcome and everything is well Now I wait for cyanogenmod to work its magic...Thanks for everyone's help. Other thing that bugs me: If i flash stock rom from sammobile will the flash counter increase, since it will be an "official" rom?
Id like to know that too, my phone has been flashed aleast 150+ times over the past 7 months *Developer pride? * so I wanna know how to reset counters o.o
Well I have asked this question in 4 different forums and it is the third time on xda...Seems noone knows...
sent from my nokia 3210
I think official still count's as a counter+1, but so far only Samsung knows how to reset the counter :| I think they keep it secret just so their consumer's don't sue them saying "Samsung faulty products"
This is the second phone this has happened to, so I'm inclined to believe the problem resides in either the recovery package or there is no way to go from ICS to stock. Here's what I did and what the result was.
1. Initial phone was having hardware issues. I needed to return it to the warranty exchange depot, so I went to flash the no BL file that you can download from the recovery thread. Everything indicated that it flashed just fine. Phone reboots after the process and it gets the the "rethink Everything" splash screen and just sits there. After a minute, it reboots the phone again. Does the same thing. I take the phone in and get it swapped out under warranty.
2. Load CM9 on new phone and notice that GPS doesn't work. Everyone else says theirs works for the same nightly (5/22), so obviously it's my phone that's the problem or a bad flash. Flash a new nightly (5/29) and GPS still doesn't work. I want to flash back to stock to ensure that it's the hardware that's the problem, not the software. I download the most current recovery NO BL file from the recovery thread to ensure I have a good one. Flash it and the exact same thing happens. I get the splash screen then a reboot.
So now the question is, does flashing ICS permanently make it so you can't flash back? Does ICS work fine, but for some reason CM9 doesnt? Has anyone else done this without a problem? If so, what did you do because 2 phones 'bricking' like this isn't convinsing me that it can be done.

Hello guys.
After spending several hours of search and review, I was unlucky to find the information I need. It could be my poor search skill, so my apologies if this is a repeated question.
My S2 is from Bell.
Today my Galaxy S2 got an update to Jelly Bean 4.1.2 (I9100MUGMA5). First, it gave me SIM NETWORK LOCK issue. I did a research here, and found that it means the phone is LOCKED again. So I had to unlock it. (Did rooting first and locked with GalaxSim Unlock) Since then, everything seems to be okay and working fine with an exception of one problem.
When it attempts to connect to wifi, it crashes and reboot itself and it repeats several time until it's finally connected. I tried a few different things but it's got nothing to do with data on/off. It seems solely to be wifi problem.
I'm just wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same issue I have here.
Should I downgrade to ICS?

Spending more than half a day to figure out this issue, I don't even know what I'm doing here, so I reboot and wipe data/factory reset.
It went back to factory ICS 4.0.3. Good thing I did backup all data before I did that, so didn't really lose anything.
Now I'm thinking if I want to try Jelly bean again....

Yea, everything is back to normal (ICS 4.0.3) now. Wifi working okay.

Lol, factory reset sets your current ROM's settings to default.
Remember when you flashed JB? You had to select language, google account and all that. Factory reset takes you to that instance.
FACTORY (ROM by Google) RESET (Settings back to default).
When I said reboot into recovery I meant Recovery mode, so you could get your JB ROM the way Google set it to work, no user configurations whatsoever, WiFi included

Problem resolved and here's what I did.
1. Downgrade to ICS using Odin.
2. Wipe and factory reset in recovery mode
3. Upgrade to JB using Kies.
There's tons of posts regarding downgrading to ICS. I just picked one and followed the instructions. It gave me an issue that the phone freezed at the booting logo (I guess it's called bricked??), so I just wiped and factory reset the phone that lead to the stock ICS.
