Hello all!
Long time reader here.
I've been looking for answers to this for several hours now and haven't been able to find anything that works.
I bought my Photon new about 2 months ago. Immediatly I rooted and unlocked it, with the thought that I was going to play around with custom ROMs as I did on my Epic 4g.
Anyway, this evening I decided to go ahead and put a new ROM on. I did the usuals, delvak, formats, etc.. I started with Joker's Skinny rev1. Install went great, but I was unable to use wifi. I couldnt even turn it on. It just says "Error" on the wifi settings menu. So I did some research and I found out that this is a common problem and simply needed a dhd.ko file to be replaced. So I did via 7zip and reflashed. Still no wifi. I then tried to give ACS's ROM a try, and same thing. So again, I replaced the dhd.ko file and reflashed. Still no glory. I also went ahead and re-unlocked the bootloader again just in case(read a few issues of that messing with wifi).
So needless to say, I can't figure out how to get my wifi back. I'm at a complete loss. Does anyone have any ideas? Also, if it matters, I live state-side. I don't have anything frozen either. Just a freshly installed ACS ROM.
Thanks for any help you guys can offer.

I really need to update skinny. I plan to do a source build and edit it to death. Cm9 has my free time tied up. It won't be too much longer and I'll get everything going on cm9. Luckily rocko roms are turning out great. Eventually I'll go back and update my blur roms.

Yeah. CM9 is looking nice, but I can't be bothered with all the script stuff right now...and I love my camera
Scripts have nothing to do with your camera. It simply changes a few things to make it faster. Great for stock rooted roms

Oh I realize that. I was just saying that I dont want to fool with scripts to get a ROM going. And that i also like having a functional camera.
Why is the rom you pointed me to so heavy?! I think it said 427MB. Biggest ive ever seen!
Any ideas on what is causing the wifi issue?
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
The radios are sensitive. The wifi driver must be compiled to the kernel you are using. In skinny unlocked it is. Skinny complete is the newest and has an awesome web top modification. Uncompressed its 2 gigs.

I have been having amazingly annoying wireless issues with cm7 on my dx2, to the point that I'm cutting into my data plan most times without me even knowing it. I want to flash cm7 again, but do I absolutely have to Sbf first, or at all?
I have a nandroid backup of my stock 2.3.4 pre cm7,can I just restore that and flash cm7 over it? If so should I do that knowing I have issues with cm7 from that? I didn't clear the big3 prior to flashing cm7 the first time but did per the steps in the beta thread, as will as a few times since.
So should I sbf, or restore and flash again?
Sent from my MB870 using XDA App
If you are having problems you should definitely sbf and wipe data. Start over fresh to make sure no fragments of previous mods are lingering around.
However, the wifi issue seems to be a problem in cm7 for some. I had it and installed wifi helper. It didn't fix the problem just reconnected wifi when it would drop. I assume that's what you mean by wireless issues. If so, you might try wifi fixer before sbf and wipe.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
Thanks for that, many people have posted saying that didn't fix the wifi related issues, but I will indeed give wifi fixer a go first before sbf...
Sent from my MB870 using XDA App
I have had similar issues with Wifi and radio/data connectivity. I believe that there are some further tweaks that need to be made but as I understand Dragonzkiller is not making any more adjustments to this ROM but rather focusing on CM9
However, I have found that booting into CWR and wiping cache and Dalvik Cache has improved things. The wifi issues will be ongoing but for me I rather live with that than stock.
I've been using an app that seems to work well as far as keeping wifi on. Before, I did change settings to having it never sleep. It did fix it. Maybe once or twice I noticed it shut off. But a lot less than before I made the changes. But anyway, I am using this app called llama-location profiles. It pretty much changes the state of your device based on location and other triggers. For instance, I have it set to turn wifi on when I get home and to leave it on as long as its connected to MY wifi or leave the area then it will turn wifi off. Since using this, I have not once had a problem with my wifi turning off. The app does a lot more than just that too so I recommend it regardless.

What's the resource usage inn that app? Strangely enough I gave up after wifi fixer as well as multiple sbf and flash didn't resolve. i flashed liberty instead, and zero Wifi problems. So not the device, not the environment, all that's left is configuration and software. I'm fairly certain I had it configured right, the no sleep policy didn't add much stability, appeared to just ignore it. Bah! I want to run cm7! :[

To get to Liberty or cm7 did you end up doing a fresh sbf to a clean stock 2.3.4?
If you did and then if you didn't add any additional apps for a bit, do you still see the wifi issue on a clean cm7?
I would think this should help you learn if a software program is causing the wifi to hiccup.

Yea I did end up doing sbf to 2.3.4 first then flashing to cm7. I didn't wait to install any apps on cm7, I suppose I could try it and report back. I'd feel better about it if liberty had the problem too but I'll rule it out.

There will be an update for CM coming it may fix your WIFI is its a complete rebuild from source and Im sure it will be a cleaner version then the last. Some things like that connectivity issues may be fixed.
I hope so, the morning after I flashed cm7 again it hung up and disabled my wifi network. No other apps installed. I have been watching the logs and it doesn't appear to do the same thing twice when it goes borton on me. for another release are you talking about cm9?

It's an issue that doesn't happen on stock, liberty, or now eclipse, but every way I flash cm7 it comes back immediately. what do you mean by full wipe? And trust me I have sbf'd enough times in enough different ways to truly call "sbf'd" a four letter word...
Just because it doesn't happen to everyone doesn't mean it's not a cm7 issue. To be fair I'm not _sure_ it is a cm7 issue but I'd like to prove it's not, and haven't had real good luck doing so.

I am truly sorry YOU went over your data plan....and by no means am I bashing you, I believe that dragonzkiller is dedicating his time to US, US, US.
I too have noticed my wifi turning off when I leave my phone for 5 minutes, but hey, look at the ROM....my God we have Cyanogen on our DX2...with a locked bootloader. I live a rushed lifestyle in a fast paced New Jersey, if I can deal with my patience I'm sure you can too.

Ok, call me a noob, dumbass, idiot,whatever. I failed at supercharging my gs2 and completely forgot to make a copy of the stock services.jar file. I am now having wifi issues only since I messed with it while trying to supercharge... I know, you don't need to if you're using phonebricker... Don't ask me why I did it, probably due to having to go back and forth between my phone, my 11 month old daughter and talking with my fiancé about things I don't care about and just plain forgetting.
Anyway, I've searched for the file, I've searched for the download repository (where the hell is it?!) And now im stuck. No wifi, though I won't be running out of data anytime soon, is annoying.

you can download whatever ROM you feel like and pull the service.jar from the zip
if you are using phonebricker rom, just reflash the rom without wiping....it will replace whatever was messed up

Didn't see anywhere in the thread if the bluetooth was or wasn't working. Just though I'd let you guys know that bluetooth crashes my Tbolt. I've tried it a few times, just turning it on crashes and when I try to view the bluetooth menu. And now I'm stuck in a bootloop. This is my first post and due to the sight rules I can't post on the actual thread, perhaps a mod can move this to it. Otherwise this has been great!
Try flashing the imoseyon kernal. This should fix your Bluetooth issues.

You're talking about this one, correct?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1086518
I see that it is a GB kernel and this is an ICS rom. I don't know if that makes a difference. Still pretty new at this, that's why I'm asking.
My apologies. No you cannot use this with ICS. Its early in the morning and thought I read the title to be about Jesters other ROM Jellyblur (GB ROM themed to look like ICS). There are no custom kernals yet for the Thunderbolts ICS until HTC drops the source. I will try to re-create this issue and I will get back with you unless someone gives a solution before me lol. Once again my apologies.
If you are in a bootloop you may have to re-wipe and re-install the ROM. It may have been a bad flash if BT was not working and caused a bootloop.
EDIT: although irrelevent for this ROM, the link you provided is an outdated custom kernal. The Dev has since then updated to 6.2.1

Hi,
Well you are in luck I had the exact same problem today and finally found the fix. I was using the . 9 radio was working fine so thought its ok but since bluetooth was my only issue I flashed ( in hboot) the . 19 radio and now no bluetooth problem. Not only turn it on and off able to use it!
Phone has not rebooted once since I did this.
Hope this helps you out,

Since the problem got solved...figured I'd jump in with a couple issues that I'm having with this rom.
1* I go into settings and to my apps. When I click an app and it brings up the space used and other info...everything says computing and doesn't show a value. I'm trying to move my apps to the SD and it does nothing since they wont compute. Anybody with this issue...a fix?
2* When I get a SMS, the LED keeps blinking after the message is closed or replied to. It stops after a few minutes, but its annoying. I have GoSMS.

1. Wait and let it total all the apps before entering to move them. It may take a minute if you have a lot of apps.
2. That's a bug with gosms. I never could figure out a fix other than disabling the led notification.

I'm having VERY long GPS lock times and it won't hold for very long. I've noticed this in the last few months of roms and I keep my roms up to date. I use my phone for navigation and it used to be very good, quick to lock and stayed locked but since May its pretty much impossible to use. I use Waze and GMaps, GMaps is a little more consistent but still not as good as the past. I'm currently on the latest uXYLON but like I said this has been happening for the last 3 months or so independent of what rom I use and the last month its gotten impossible to navigate with.
I tried to fix it by installing the US GPS.config file with no success.
So please any suggestions throw them my way!

I also rely heavily on GPS navigation and ran into this same problem too a while back. I was flashing many different roms and think I flashed a couple of different kernels as well. I believe the problem I had was kernel based and even flashing back to stock touchwiz didn't help. The solution was to Odin back, rather than flash, to stock. Hope this helps you. And please respond back if this does work for you. Good luck

There's lots of GPS fixes for every ROM, I had the same problems you did, used google, got it working. You can search the individual threads as well. There's so many different fixes for everybody you got to try them out and see what works for you.

You really shouldn't be having any problems on CleanROM it's very very similar to stock. Whatever ROM you're on, you should post your problems in that thread plus search that thread. It's the only way you'll get somebody that can actually help you.

In my experience, clean rom always fixes issues I have. If a vzw version of clean rom doesn't properly work on your phone, you might have a faulty device. Because that guy's roms are money.

I have no issues with any Verizon based roms such as Clean or Beans, but any ported or intnl rom I cannot get the GPS to come on or get a fix. I have tried every fix that I can find applicable to Note 2 and even some s3 on every forum that has come up in searches. Would love to use Novella, but still looking for a fix that will make this dang Verizon Note 2 work. Tried different firmware/basebands, replacing or adding the proper libs, getting a fix on a different rom then flashing, GPS fix trick with restore, still no dice. I am still looking for something that will work. Even tried the "press upper right corner thing" and tighten screws. And combinations of all those things. I know its not a GPS problem with hardware as it works on every Verizon based rom. Good luck...I am still looking.

Hmm I got nothing then. International roms don't like my phone, but If I have a lock on a Verizon rom before flashing I always get a lock on international based roms thereafter.

I have the same problem with the latest Jedi X17, I can get a lock before the flash, boot into recovery, do my wipes and flash only to have an AWESOME rom without the 1 capability i use most with my device. The Rom has a GPS quick-fix, that doesn't work for my device, and I've tried several from the market. It's infuriating...
Gonna try clean rom again in the next day or 2. Question when installing rom people say to wait 10 mins then reboot.do you let it sit right after flasing or after you put in Google acount etc?

let it sit for a minute or two after youve gone through the aroma installer. and it gives the green button to reboot. no need to wait ten mins but i have locked my phone up a few times flying through install and rebooting right away. if it happens though just pull your battery and pop it right back in and itll boot back to recovery. then i always flash again
