I am running the latest stable build of CM7 and whenever i turn on wifi where it says "Turning on..." it sometimes says "Error" and then the phone reboots its self. does anyone know if this is software or hardware related and how i can go about fixing it. I have tried going back to the stock rom and nothing has helped.
EDIT:I have a Bell Atrix and I have also tried flashing a different radio to no avail.

Is this a new flash or did it jsut stop working? if so try to reflash the rom. I have a bell Atrix and had this issue the first time that I installed cyanogen. Reflashed and everything was fine. If that doesnt work for you try to flash a different rom and see if the issue persists. Hope this helps!
No I just randomly started happening and I have tried flashing a couple

Hi, I was able to flash cm7 (nightly build 36) rom and glitch v10 kernel for my telus fascinate
Only problem I'm having is the wifi that won't even try to connect.
When I turn on wifi, it immediately says 'error'.
It doesn't search for networks or anything.
My 3g works without a problem though.
I have tried pulling the battery and rebooting many times and tried using airplane mode to solve it but had no luck.
Thanks for your help!
So I flashed the newest nightly of Synergy mod and everything was working good for the night was running on wifi looking stuff up and downloading apps and everything. When i woke up the next morning I turned wifi off for work because I work outside all day and having that feature on would be pointless, I got off work and back home and when I tried to turn it back on it would "turning on wifi" for a bit and then just give me "error". I've installed other roms and even restored back to BAMF 4.9 and im still getting the "error" message when I try and turn on wifi. Im guessing its a hardware issue and might just take it to verizon. Any suggestions??
Exact same problem for me, I even downloaded the original 'upgrade' PG05IMG from the original root guide and flashed that via bootloader, and still wifi is 'error' I have no idea what to do.
I installed check rom revoHD v4 and wifi just stopped working. When i activate it, it says its activating, it turns on and a few seconds lates it turnos off. It never gets a mac adress.
I tried changin kernels (siyah 2.51), and modems with no luck. Anyone has an idea how to fix it?
Thanks
(everything else seems to be working fine, bluethooth gps etc)

What kind of security is your wifi modem is having? is it wps smthng lk that? Did you tried with different wifi hotspots?
it doesnt have any security, i disable it
The thing is that it doesn even recognize that there is a wifi signal, it just turn off automatically before without detecting any wifi signal, i tried at work and the same thing happened
(sorry if i misspelled a lot of words jejeje)
try to flash another ROM and see if it works...

i restored the backup i made with cwm and everything works fine now (touch x-power rom), and if i reinstall check rom the wifi goes out again, it seems it deletes something that leaves me with no wifi mac adress (i searched in about the phone, turning on and of wifi and every time it said not available)
Bizarre...
im getting the same thing, did anyone find a solution?
had this same exact issue.. it is a hardware problem.. so changing rom, kernel or fw wont help you at all... only solution is going to samsung service center.. my problem was solved in 3 days..so many s2 users have this problem..
take a look at these threads...

There are a lot of problems with KK5 and wifi. If you update Busybox it borks it completely. I can't connect to my 5Ghz home wifi but the 2.4 Ghz works fine. I also can't connect to some wifi that uses WEP. All works fine with previous builds. I have seen threads that suggest replacing the wpa_suplicant file from Android 2.3.5 fixes the problem.
I am on virtuous with sense 4 and for about a month i didn't have any problems,then a weird thing happened.I was on wi-fi when it suddenly dropped and I couldn't connect to wi-fi anymore.it says "Turning on..." and stays there.tried restore to stock rom,tried flashing new rom.nothing works.i use revolutionary recovery
p.s. i have previously installed roms and this didn't occur
Unplug your wifi router for about 60seconds then plug it back in. See if that helps. If you have a modem do the same. Also in your wireless settings make sure wifi is set to never turn off.
Try that and see if it helps.

Did you reset your router? And what didn't help?

It is 100% phone related.all my other phones + my ps 3 are doing very good on wifi.so it's not the router.if you think is the phone router,i don't know how to reset that

I really don't know what the issue is but this is just something to try. To reset your modem and router just uplug them for a couple of minutes and then plug them back in. Also have you checked your wireless settings to make sure wifi is set to never sleep?

I had problems like this after flashing some custom kernels with some custom ROMs. So try wiping dalvik and cache, and reflashing your kernel with "fastboot flash boot boot.img "
as much as i want to ask if its your router lol it sounds like something gave in the kernel man. Have you tried reflashing your kernel or switching kernels? i had the same problem when i first started flashing stuff, so i reflashed everything from the radio to the kernel and then the ROM three times and that seemed to do the trick. just saying doesn't hurt to try reflashing a new kernel or even the same one. wipe cache/dalvik cache 3X, flash new kernel and it should work. if not, your WiFi part of the radio might have given out (known to happen)
sorry,but nothing worked.i had to unroot(now my bootloader shows LOCKED and is S-ON),still doesn't work,and i will have it repaired
Yesterday,after I flashed stock ICS rom through odin, I noticed that i can't connect to any kind of wifi connection, even wifi sharing from other devices! it says just "obtaining ip address" and nothing. stuck like that forever. What?

My problem was unable to turn on wifi, wifi stuck at the stage of turning on.... and forever like that cant off and on.
Most probably is hardware problem coz i have tried many ways to solve including flash back to stock rom,change modem,change kernel and etc.
good luck for you,hope you are not the same problem with me.

Wifi is kernel-related.
So, try to flash another kernel to test.
Or if you don't want to flash another kernel, check in menu Settings > wifi > (menu button) Advanced > Use static ip.
Try to enabled and connect.
Then disable and try to connect.
If that does not help, try to wipe cache (and Dalvik cache) in recovery mode.
Press Volume UP + Home + Power buttons as long as the recovery menu appears, then select wipe cache and reboot the phone.
P.S.: Check the configuration of your wifi router / WLAN access point, that is allows your phone to connect.
ok so i did everything again just to be sure and... my mistake! the problem starts not after the rom flashing but after cf root! have i done something wrong maybe?
I would say look for a custom rom that is already pre-rooted so then it should have all bugs to do with wifi removed.
I used to have a problem with the wifi myself which caused problems when turning it into a wireless hot spot and then wouldn't turn back off again.
But now im on the Custom Rom I am having no problems with wifi at all.
Hope this helps.

Actually, I would say try a different kernel. CF-root is a kernel. Wifi drivers are in the kernel. Ergo... ?
Wifi is kernel related issue
try changing your kernel
you mite wanna chk dis

Im having the same problem here, any luck so far?
may have something to do with the root. my phone had this issues once. just flash your phone with the correct rom and do NOT root it again as it may have something to do with the root itself. or just something got messed up during the rooting process
