HELP: I used a custom rom - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

I installed a custom rom, everything is working except for the wifi, the wifi wont turn on and connect to the wifi network, is there something wrong with the actual wifi card or is it fixable?

What rom did you use? I suggest going to the thread for the rom and asking other people that are using it. Chances are you may just need to re-wipe your phone and then reflash.

we will definitely need more info than what u gave us

You may have to reflash the custom kernel if you flashed one before flashing the rom. I ran into this issue after I flashed a new version of the rom I'm using on top of the Trinity kernel. Just had to reflash the Trinity kernel again and wifi was working again.

[Q] CM7 ZMOD 003 Wifi-Error [SOLVED]

I've searched the forum for a sollution to no avail and since I can't post this in the actual ZMOD 003 thead (low post count) I was wondering if anyone else is having the same problem?
When I start up the Wifi on my X10 I am just met with "Error".
I've reflashed and fully re-installed the .71 baseband, ROM and 003 update and this had happened each time (after first phone reboot I think).
I'm otherwise really pleased with the ROM (full camera, 6+ days battery, etc), is there a sollution?
SOLVED: Downgrade busybox to 1.17.1 (re-install by the andriod installer back to the older version) and reboot.
Assuming you have a custom kernel ... After flashing the cm7 zmod rom, try flashing the wifi modules to match your kernel, then reboot phone and wifi should work.
Had this problem on a few of the roms I've tried, got into the habit of installing the wifi modules immediately after installing any rom I try, before rebooting into the new rom for the first time.

u can also try it with static ip.

It's not that it won't connect but the Wifi won't turn on no matter what I try. I've tried this anyway but with no sucess.

Ok thats sounds like some good advice. Noob question but where could I get the wifi modules for zdzihu's custom kernel? Or do you mean flash the default wifi modules? Also do I just install them through xrecovery, I'm a little lost?
Seems like I'm not the only one having this problem:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1135475&highlight=zKernel+wifi+module&page=81
help anyone, im lost without my wifi.
edit:
Busybox seems to be the issue, I downgraded from 1.19.2 (i think) back to 1.17.1 and the wifi went straight back to working on reboot.
Problem seems to be solved, for now. I now have the perfect ROM.

[Q] Can't get wifi when I change kernels

Hey guys as the topic says anytime I change my kernel my wifi won't connect and its frustrating I've done full wipes and reflashed my Rom and I still can't get it to work
Any suggestions would be appreciated

Make sure you flash kernels with CWR. I know people who were using kernel manager to flash were having problems with wifi connecting, but that was a while ago so it may be fixed by now.

[Q] yet another issue with flashing a rom

I posted a couple days ago about some issues with rooting my phone, which I solved, but now I have some new issues. When I went to turn on bluetooth, it wouldn't turn on, just try to turn on for a couple seconds and then nothing. I tried turning on wifi, and it would go straight to showing 'error' under wifi. So, I tried a different rom beast 2.3, and being at work, I can't connect the phone to my comp (encryption issues) so I only had a copy of the rom, not a kernel. Once I had beast installed I lost my network too! so I couldn't connect to my provider's network. I wiped everything, brought back AR 1.1, and am currently without bluetooth, wifi, and network. When I scan for networks my telus network shows up, as well as bell, rogers etc.
Is this a kernel issue? As soon as I get home that's the first thing I'll be trying out

yes its a kernel issue. what version of software are you running?
I had the wifi error issue, and i flashed the kernel on top of the rom and it works now
Depending on the ROM you flashed, it may or may not display "Flash Kernel after." In which then you flash it. This'll take care of all Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Issues!
If you're having issues let me know.
I had the same issue I was using stock kernel for tmobile version 1.36.531.6 on mine which I had over the air updated to 1.43.531.3. This created the wifi error and bluetooth issue, I had to try different kernels to try to figure this thing out...It will posted in my read me page when I get a chance
It's a kernel issue, there are actually three different kernels, not two, I posted this in xboarders thread, but He hasn't updated his page.
kernels
1: for tmobile software stock 1.43.531.3, this is not available anywhere on the amaze forums, i had to personally extract this from the rooted stock rom that xboarder provided
2: for tmobile software stock 1.36.531.6 and 1.36.531.5 and lower, this stock i believe is the one xboarder has up as the original boot.img
3: faux's custom kernel, this kernel will work with all versions i believe
no luck, flashed faux kernel 3x's and still same problem.
Any other ideas on what it could be?
I get a signal for the phone, no 4g icon, same error with wifi, and nothing with bluetooth or network.

you need to help me help you. I ask you again what software version are you on???? go to settings>about phone>software information and look at software version, let me know which you're on.
second: what rom are you running?
you have to answer these two questions

I told you rooting is not for you but you thought I was attacking you. But seriously if you do not know what you are doing you will mess up the phone. you still havent because there still is no s-off so pretty much your phone is kinda locked

Aren't your 2 questions the same? Just asking because when you go into software information there is no listing for software version, only software number which displays the name of the Rom you are running. Which would make it answer to both of your questions.
To the Op, are you sure the kernel flashed correctly when you flashed fauxs kernel? Did you use the EFK to flash it or did you try and flash it through CWM? Go into software information and tell us what it says under kernel

Yes you are correct I'm just trying to make sure what he's running so I can provide him the right kernel file to flash!

lol ok. but the thing is, is that he said he flashed faux's kernel and the stuff still didn't work, which it should no matter what rom hes running, unless of course he was running a sense 3.5 rom which im sure hes not from reading his posts. this is why i'm assuming he did not flash the kernel correctly... wouldnt u agree? we'll see when he finally posts what it says in his software information for what Rom hes running and what it says his Kernel is.

yes lets wait, with people with lets experience, I tend to dumb things down when asking questions...I am not doing it to demean them, but It's the only way to get any real good answers and being able to help them. Then over time they'll learn
sean, I was running the android revolution 1.1, and tried a couple different kernels and nothing
But I ended up fixing the issue finally. The super wipe zip file I downloaded with AR 1.1 was corrupt, and wouldn't load properly, so I was installing a rom without doing a wipe every time. So, I put a working copy of the zip on the sd card, and did a manual wipe of the caches, re-installed AR 1.1 and all is well.
So, even though I was following all necessary steps, I failed to realize that the wipe zip was faulty, and really messed everything up, and when I changed the rom again to beastmod, I didn't install the correct kernel with it, so yet more issues.
Happy to say that it's all over, and I have a much faster phone with alot less bloat on it. Thanks to everyone!

[Q] Samsung Vibrant: flashed ics, but problems

I flashed the ICS Euphoria ROM for Samsung Vibrant, but now I cannot connect to wifi and my phone doesn't pick up my network (neither does it search for it). I have not flashed the kernel yet because I do not know what I need to wipe in CWM Recovery before installing it.
So how do I flash the kernel, and how do I get my wifi and mobile network working again?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
EDIT: i flashed the kernel after wiping dalvik cache, but its still not picking up my network or wifi
EDIT2: WIFI works now (I was dumb) but still no carrier signal. It just says No Service. Please help.
EDIT3: turned out it was the ICS Euphoria ROM that was at fault; i have Passion now and it works fine.
RESOLVED BY MYSELF. THANKS FOR THE HELP

This is a ROM problem (I have this problem too) so don't worry about your device. I'd recommend switching to ParanoidAndroid (where WiFi works) and connecting to your network, then flashing back to CM11. If you care about data then make a Nandroid backup and after reinstalling CM do advanced restore and just restore data.
Step-by-step:
1. Download PA 4.4.2 (in the Original Android Development forums for this device)
2. Reboot into recovery
3. Full backup
4. Wipe, and install PA as per the instructions on the original post in the PA thread
5. Boot into PA, set up, connect to WiFi
6. Boot into recovery
7. Install CM11 but don't wipe. This is a little risky but mostly you shouldn't have a problem, since you haven't done anything on PA . 99% of the time you can restore to a backup if anything goes wrong.
8. (Optional) In the recovery choose advanced restore and restore data ONLY. this will restore your original apps and shouldn't cause any problems since the apps are originally from the same CM11 environment.
Hope I helped.
I having wifi problem with cm11 and PA too. I've flashed many radio file but it didnt work. i can connect to wifi after flashed radio but it stop download after a while, althought it still connect to wifi

If this is your problem, and flashing a radio works for a while, then try more radios. There are a few lists of hybrid radios in the general area for the e970. Though, I doubt this is a radio problem as when the stock ROM is flashed WiFi works with pretty much any radio, so I find it somewhat weird that using a new radio fixes the issue for you.

I need more details. What do you mean by cannot connect? What happens? Please post a logcat of trying to connect.

Same is happening with me(CM11 M4)
when i turn on the wifi it scans n shows all the available networks.
when i select mine to connect, as usual it asks password.
after entering password; all that happens is it shows "saved" in wifi list.
nothing else happens.
i have tried connecting all types of wifi networks.
Also on the same line, i cant start the Wifi hotspot as well
after clicking on Portable hotspot it keeps on showing "Turning hotspot on..." for infinity.
I was also having wifi issues. For me, it was because my phone still had the ICS radios. Once I flashed the JB radios everything started working great. maybe that is your issue?
