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.

I had that problem with cm7...so thought it was my phone. Tried a different rom....worked again...tried cm7 again. And it started working.....just reflash.....obviously wipe it.

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!

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.
sent from my unlocked MB860 via Tapatalk
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.
Details of my problem are here: http://code.google.com/p/atrix-dev-team/issues/detail?id=115&can=1&start=100
Samcripp asked me to open an issue, but it was later closed as its not related to CM7.
Basically after updating to 0.19 Faux kernel and OCing, my bluetooth does not work (does not turn on) and my wifi says "error" and reboots if I try to turn it on. Logcats are attached in the link above.
Before this, I also tried the 1.35 Radio but I'm pretty sure it worked after flashing back to 1.77.30P.
I've tried everything from erasing via fastboot and clean installing stock 2.3.4, alien and CM7 -still nada. Tried restoring pds partition, nada. Tried different radios, nada. Only thing I didn't try was to SBF to stock. Can someone point me in the right direction to a SAFE SBF that I can used on an unlocked ATT Atrix?
Here is the dmesg: http://db.tt/92GSbZ4
Says something about buffer overflow, vdd.

I got it to work momentarily but then phone froze and went back to error. I had followed these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1077329 and then did a dalvik cache wipe.
What could this be? Hardware?
Think its definitley a hardware issue. I can get the bluetooth/wifi to work by taking out the battery and tapping on the back of the phone..but then it dies later.
Next question: Any way to get "Unlocked" from showing on the bootscreen?
Had a similar issue
I once had a similar issue with my wifi after installing the same kernel. Consider restoring the stock kernel before you consider your phone broken. When you change kernels, since the kernel is central often, hardware is messed upOA component,
Have tried stock kernel, 1.83 kernel, faux kernel and kholk's kernel..all the same. Wiped cache/dalvik cache after all.
Getting replacement device from ATT. Just trying to figure out if I should send back with "Unlocked" text or not.
Theres got to be a solution, somewhere ... I can't get it replaced.
Someone...
was there a solution to this i am having the exact same problem
ive been running jokersax cm9 shortly after flashing 0.33 i noticed i no longer was hooked up to wifi. After looking into it i noticed bluetooth is also a no go.
it never gets past "turning wifi on" i have since done a complete format/factory reset, flash .33 and .4, went back to Cm7 still no change i have also flashed multiple kernels.
Last try was flashing radio N_01.77.37p still no luck
Having the same problem. Wonder if we can buy just the system board of this phone

Yes, Wifi/Bluetooth is a hardware issue! My phone just died of this same fate. If you want to take advantage of your warranty, then flash the 2.3.6 SBF after wiping all user data. BE CAUTIOUS. And can we make a big sticky for this problem? There are literally dozens of threads about this
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

Which radio are you using?
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

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.

Hi all
I dont know why / how but my cell radio suddenly went off and wont turn back on.
I am rooted BL unlocked on Nottachtrix 1.3.1 ROM.
I am also SIM unlocked and I live in India. I have the AT&T atrix.
What might have caused the issue
I was messing around in *#*#4636#*#* with the radio band.
I had this signal boosting app which I use but cant find it on the market to link it now. I 've been using this app for a while so dont know why it would mess up now.
I am not sure if these are what caused the issue but just letting u know
Things I have done so far
Battery pull
Different sim card / different network
I tried flashing the ROM again with full wipe but still no luck
Flashed CM7 Ba2tf and the problem persists.. can I rule out that it is software related?
Everything else is working fine.
I am out of ideas and help is very much appreciated.
Thanks
SOLUTION
The Easiest Fix for this issue is Flashing the right baseband in CWM recovery.
The radio is flashed separately from the Android os. Try a new baseband. However be sure to get the right one for your phone.

Issue solved. I 'll detail what I did so it can help others.
Yes. Selecting the USA Band is what caused the issue.
I dint know that basebands could be flashed on Atrix ROMs. I wish I 've known it sooner. Would 've saved me a lot of trouble. Anyway I went with the SBF method.
I had the 4.5.91 earlier but I went with 4.5.141 to be safe.
Everything went smooth but at the end RSD lite said "Please manually reboot this phone" and the phone went into a boot loop at the M logo. I looked around and after a while found that a Wipe fixes it in stock recovery.
1. Disconnected the phone
2. Pulled out the battery.
3. Rebooted and went into stock recovery.
4. Wiped data and rebooted.
5. Got to home screen fine. Rebooted once again to make sure everything is fine.
Then inserted sim card and I had a signal. Everthing is working great.
Bro i have solution.... Btw... You must have flashed the wrong rom.... Kindly download nd install other one ..or use custom cm14 ROM or miui for best experience..
