hi guys. I'm really getting crazy about it!
I was using ICS with no problems for about a month...but 3 days ago my wi-fi stop working.
If i try to turn it on.... nothing!.
I did the factory settings (wipe - losing my data).
wifi stil doen't work.
I did the update, the new ICS version that i found in here(for Italy): "I9100XWLPF_I9100OXILP6_ITV"). And installed this too: "CF-Root-SGS2_XW_OXI_LPF-v5.5-CWM5"
wifi stil doen't work.
I installed "Resurrection-remix_ics_V1.9.1_AOKP-B35-4.0.4"
wifi stil doen't work.!!!!!
There's a posibility that wifi is really broken?
Please give me some advise.
I know that warranty is void making all this stuff. There's a way to return into REALLY samsung factory settings? if i need to use the warranty
Flash a stock ROM and check if wifi still doesn't work, you can go to the service centre.. And if you install stock ROM, your warranty will not be void.. You can get stock ROMs in www.samfirmware.com
thank you for the reply. I tryed a lot of stock roms (full rom with odin: pda, dcd, modem, pit files) (and roms with one file).
Nothing, the wifi is not working.
I will send my phone to the samsung support. I had the doubt, but know i know that with a stock rom the warranty is OK.

Dear All
I have got the problem with wifi hotspot on my I9100 such as:
when I click to start the hotspot it did not run, it said "Error".
Last time I up My i9100 to ICS 4.0.3 after that downgrade to 2.3.6 and that problem appear.
Please help me to solve that problem.
Thanks You very much
wipe your phone......
What is the detail of error. Does it just say "error' ?
Are you running a custom ROM, or a stock one?
Dear All
I used the stock rom of ICS and 2.3.6 too.
Anh It just appear "erroe" only have no any other detail.
Althought I wiped all data already but it not work properly
Pleaase help me

So... on top of wifi tethering not working, wifi ALSO does not work? Sounds like your wifi is broken.
Try changing kernels; kernels contain wifi drivers. (Though, be aware that this will likely invalidate your warranty)
If that doesn't work, it is likely a problem with the wifi hardware.
If you don't want to mess w/changing kernels and still have a valid warranty, just take the phone to a service center.
EDIT: Oops, I see you've been bouncing versions; up to ICS, back down to GB... your warranty could be invalidated anyways.

Dear ctomgee
I used the Samsung Kies to upgrade my S2 to 4.0.3, after that I used odine to revert back to 2.3.6, I hope I still have the warranty.
Could you please sent to me some link of Kernel foe S2?
Thanks alot

There are several in the development sections. Just look for them. And make sure you don't use anything from the i9100g section.
EDIT to add: if you're worried about warranty, you can check your flash count by entering download mode. If there is a count higher than zero, it will be displayed, and your warranty is invalidated anyways. (there are ways to reset this, search for them. They're all over the place)
Hi,
I've updated the phone to the newer firmware from KIES, and the phone was connected to the WIFI network but signal connection keeps switching on and off, is there anyway to fix this issue so I can have a stable connection?
Have test with my iPhone and Ipad, both connectect to the same WIFI and only my samsung S3 having this problem.
PS: WIFI power saver mode is already <<off >>, keep Wifi on during Sleep mode is set to <<always>>, Network notification is <<un-tick>>
This is my current ROM (Rooted)
AP: I9300BUBLG3
CP: I9300BULG2
CSC: I9300VFGBLG3
settting > wireless & network > more > mobile network > automatic connections > sprint connection optimizer.. unchecked?
This is the international version is Samsung S3, I can't find such settings.

I had the same issue when I reverted to stock. I thought it was this and that but really, all I did was
Backed up everything
Well mine was rooted and stuff so I triangled away the flash counter, probally dont need that if your on stock anyways
I wiped everything from the phones settings, back and restore, reset
I then booted up in recovery, doesnt matter if you are cwm or stock recovery, wipe again plus cache
Now I loaded up Odin and flash the original stock rom for my phone, I waited till it was complete, I then updated it through settings till I got to the latest update and then started reinstalling my apps from google play store or whenever else I had apps. So far all is well and no wifi issues.
Other advise would be instead of all the above, wait for another update or flash a new modem. That also worked for me when I was running another countries stock rom, Bad wifi, so I flashed my countries modem and it was fine! so good luck!
go to dialler
*#0011# will take you into Service Mode
click on menu
click on wifi
you will see a button that says "on" click on it
it will say off this stops the wifif connect/dis-connect problem.
If you shut down your phone you have to reset it to off.

This was the latest stock rom from KIES update (also rooted). But thanks for the reply, I'll try to flash different ROM and see what will happen.

I've got the exact same problem. Do you have a BT Home Hub 3 by any chance?
I've just rooted mine so am going to try and flash a new modem and see if this fixes the issue

Sorry I don't have BT Home HUB 3, my connection is very simple, just connecting the S3 to a DrayTek Vigor2710Vn Router via Wifi. Please let me know the result after you flash with a new modem. If is working, please provide the link and file name where you got your file so I can flash it too.
Thanks!!!!
***By the way, what ROM version are you using at the moment? Please provide your AP, CP and CSC details if is different to my S3. ***
Repeat Modem has nothing to do with WiFi.

I had the exact same issue, but ONLY after rooting the device (which I did just a day or two after I got it). I tried every possible fix, flashed new roms 3 or 4 times, wiped data and everything else in recovery, but no luck.
However, my final solution was to simply follow a guide to unroot the device, which I did today - and it did indeed work, I guess this issue is mainly happening to rooted phones, for unknown reason. Until I know this is fixed with an update (maybe in 4.1 JB), I won't be rooting this device again.
Link to guide on how to unroot
Are there actually people who can't fix it like me?
Also done everything I possible could but never got wifi working again.
Returned it to Samsung. I unrooted it and flashed the firmware again with KIES.
The day after there was also an official update for the BENELUX I guess. Also updated this with KIES.
So is it still possible they see that the modem was changed?

Yeah as the guy above me said, you always have to reset the flash counter before unrooting (as this requires superuser access).
If you don't do this, it's easy to see the phone has been modified in either download mode or by checking status in settings.
After successfully unrooting you'll also have to re-enter CWM recovery and wipe data+cache.
After doing this you'll see the device being "normal" and it should show "stock" in download mode.

Forgot to mention it but I did this yes.
I also think KIES would not update when this is not a zero.
Hi,
Firstly thanks for time and sorry if this is a noob question but I only have a fairly small amount of experience regarding custom roms.
Here goes...
I have changed the rom on my phone about 5 times over the last couple of years and never had a problem. I have the latest version of teamwin and I'm currently running Android Revolution HD 50.0 by mike1986. This rom works great as have all the other I have used in the past ie Cyanogenmod, Omega etc but the problem I am having is over the last 4 months I am completely losing network and even if I try to search for a mobile operator my phone can't find any unless I run a full power cycle.
I have been reading as much online mainly xda-developers to find a solution to this problem but I'm afraid I'm now just running into a brick wall. I understand this could just be a hardware fault but I have read somewhere that I may have the wrong modem installed for my phone.
How likely is this? Can having the wrong modem cause intermittent problems? Also if this is the case where the I find a tutorial on correcting this issue. Plus which modem should I be using in the UK?
Again thanks for you time and any help would be much appreciated.
Mike
Do a full wipe and flash the latest stock firmware for your country, then factory reset.
Test fully before you install or restore anything. If it is still the same then probably hardware.

ok, Will do. I am just waiting for the UK stock firmware to download. I left it downloading while I was out this afternoon and for some reason it failed and now is asking me to wait an hour before retrying
I'll let you know if this solves my problem.
Thanks
ok..
I managed to get hold of the stock firmware from another site. I first installed a version of ICS so I could run triangle away properly after rooting with CF auto root as without doing this I couldn't reset my binary counter even after flashing stock recovery. Then I installed the latest version of JB and ran the official Samsung update to get my phone up to the very latest Official software with device status official.
So now my phone is completely back to if it just came out of the box. I finished late last night and installed nothing but WhatsApp. Then at about 3pm today again I completely lost network and couldn't restore in without a full power cycle. Even searching for Network operators in settings couldn't restore the connection. I can't think of anything else to try.
Any ideas what to try next please?
P.S. The firmware I installed is as far as I can tell for my location. I'm in the U.K. and I'm using the stock BTU version on baseband version I9300XXUGMK6
the same i9300 problem

Hi I am have the same problem.. I've tried 2x reapir store.. but just can say: "you need put new main board".
But I have trust that its not better solution (at least for me).
So if you find some solution, please dont forget reply here.
Thanks
O2 by any chance? .. if so it's a network issue. It happened to me a while back but cleared up after a day or two.

This is exactly the issue I have now - I can get some signal, but can't get anything in terms of using 3G/Mobile data :/
I had my s2 hard bricked and now i got a new motherboard for it, the thing is that on all stock roms (2.3 and 4.1.2) the phone works perfectly but all the custom roms 4.4 5.0 6.0 the cellular does not work, it gives me no service, tried flashing modem from cwm but no change.
i also tried different recoveries etc but custom rom no service
sometimes in custom rom imei used to be blank but it comes back after reboot, in stock no issues at all
any idea what im doing wrong or is there something up with the new board?
thanks,
Update
I was searching and I read somewhere that installing NeatROM by Sale will help, i downloaded and installed it, the good news is that cellular works and i have full 3G access.
Question: How to proceed further?
i could experiment but the thing is that if i flash a non-working rom (no cellular), i will have to flash stock from odin and start all over again
any ideas?
Update 2
i tried NeatROM and it worked perfectly, then i tried installing slimLP and boom, no service again, this time,my IMEI was blank too, so now i'm flashing stockrom again.
any idea anyone please?
I've flashed stock ROM on my S3 cuz i was bored of these custom roms, and wanted stock.
I've installed the stock ROM sucsefully, but I saw Emergency calls only, and when i tried to phone my homephone it won't work, says im not registered on network
I'm trying to register, it says that i'm registered, but still problem
Make sure the firmware matches the device you're flashing. Flash the rom twice with a factory reset in-between and try again. There is also the possibility that you'll need flash something else too, like a patched or original modem..

Follow this method https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/emergency-calls-solved-t2748393
If this will not work then you have to repair network with the help of samsung z3x box
