I am running a rooted TF201, and recently got NVFlash. I am on the latest Vicious ROM, and am a recent convert to TWRP. No matter the ROM that I flash, I get a "Turning WIFI On..." eternally, and when I go into settings the MAC Address is Unavailable. I have tried to flash CM10, EOS3, and CM9. All of them load clean, and I can tether off bluetooth, but I am unable to get a MAC Address to turn on the Wifi. I know this is not a hardware issue, as Wifi is working just fine on my Vicious nandroid. That is the only way I can use Wifi is on that specific backup. I have tried to wipe, and reload that ROM thinking my Prime just liked Vicious, but the Wifi was broken then as well. I have done a few Factory Resets, and wiped and flashed anything I can think of to try and fix it. Thank you very much in advance.

When you installed these roms, did you wipe cache, dalvik and factory reset? Most devs say to wipe all 3, if you did try androwook rom though its discontinued I have never had a wifi issue. Actually I am running eos 3 build 37 now and it works also. You didn't do any kernel switching did you?
Sorry, should have included that. I did wipe everything every time, and I haven't touched a kernel. I am lost as to what is happening. I am using TWRP 2.2.1.4

Did you run a checksum on your downloads to make sure they are complete? I don't think I have seen this issue in the forum other then the kernel being not quite right...
I think there is something (i did) wrong with nvflash.... i'm stuck with another mac-address http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1812773
I hope some nvflash devs can look @ those wifi problems. I also saw warnings on xda forums using nvflash, because it can change mac, imei & serial.
Yes, i made sure the downloads were good. I made some backups, then I used this file
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1670824
Placed a good fresh EOS3 ROM and GApps on my microSD, ran the wipe and Still didn't get a working Wifi. I am welcome to try any kernel option, see if it works.

I was able to get a clean fresh ROM to open and make a WIFI connection. After a full wipe, Virtuous Prime 9.4.2.28 v1 to load and work with no issues. I have a C2OK serial number, think that may be a reason I am having issues with other ROMs? Is it a way this particular ROM loads? I had tried other ICS ROMs, and I would have the same issue as JB ROMs, so I don't think it has anything to do with it. I got full function back, but am wondering why I can't load other ROMs.

Mine is a c1ok but i haven't seen anyone with a particular serial number have issues and I do read a lot of posts... full wipe should in theory get you where you want to go but you may have something else going on.. bad download, bad cable (this I have seen) the bad download sometimes ends in failure to flash at all.. had that tonight actually lol... re downloaded checksum.. all good now... I have had a few oddities going from one rom to another but a second flash sometimes clears it up.. never had issues with wifi unless there is something up with the kernel...
Come to think of it.... there were a few posts that said they required a double full wipe... it's an option if your willing to put in the time.. full wipe, adb push wipe file again... wipe then push rom.... if i was going to take that route, i'd push androwook rom I went from that to jb EOS and haven't had any issues....of course that means cache wipe, dalvik wipe and factory reset in between....
I tried what you said, I'm and using the wipe zip, I triple wiped, and then loaded Baked ROM 4.1 to see. Md5 check was done of course. I got wifi to turn on, but it will not find any networks. I have reset my modem/router, and restoring my old ROM wifi works and connects just fine. I am going to repeat the process with a different ROM to see if it may be that specific ROM.

I am confused too. I did the same, using the wipe zip, and between wipes I wiped dalvik. I wiped three times, just for good measure. I then flashed AndroWook Hairy Bean v1 and AndroWook Prime v2.6, not at the same time obviously. With each ROM, I was unable to see any wifi network on my TF. The wifi may turn on, may not, but it will not even show any network. I am at a complete loss. I am able to connect via a blue tooth connection to get Internet with both ROMs.

So I flashed CM9 alpha 13(after wiping) but can't get service to activate on my phone. Same problem I'm having with alpha 9. I use the activate button when it starts and it tells me it failed. Under "About Phone" and "Status" I can see that the My Phone Number setting is wrong so is the MIN.
When I call my carrier to manually activate, the short codes they give me to manually input this info do not work.
Anybody else had this problem?

I had this problem as well. I've also bricked my phone flashing an electrify pudding by mistake on my photon. My fix after fixing my boot loader issues was: I reverted to completely stock. Then I called sprint and had to reactivate my phone. After getting everything working and having a secure connection for over a day I then flashed cm7 to make sure that would work. After it did I did a says wipe and wiped everything else. And flashed cm9 then went into recovery wiped and flashed again. Then I flashed gapps and boot up. After booting up I went back and wiped again. And then used the phone for about twenty minutes and wiped and flashed "all" again. It was a long drawn out process. But I have had none of the issues that people are having on the forum. Battery life is great after calibrating. 3G is almost as fast as the 4G I had. Never have a single reboot or battery pull. Wifi and Bluetooth bead on perfect. I'm new to xda but not development. I'd post my success in the forum, but I'm not yet at ten post.

I tried reverting to stock as outlined by qbking77 but every time I sbf'ed the file as instructed I lost my recovery. The 'Unlocked' notice disappeared as it was supposed to but once I did that I couldn't get any recoveries to stick, stock or CWM, until I "re-unlocked" the phone with that sbf. Even then I couldn't get the stock recovery to write properly.
I'm pretty new to all of this. I unlocked my Optimus S and tried a few ROMs on it before I settled on Reborn Rom, but that's about my only experience with these things. I'm not incompetent(I hope) when it comes to this stuff, but it's definitely a learning curve. I'd like to master the whole process though so I can delve into the dev side of things a bit.

A combination of what you and FanBoy suggested. First I wiped and flashed Rocko ROM. Got the phone to activate. Then I wiped. Flashed CM9. Wiped again. Booted up and verified service was active. Wiped again, Flashed CM9 again, wiped again, and flashed gapps v3.
I really don't know what the problem was to start. I originally tried to flash CM7 and couldn't get signal at all. So I flashed MIUI with the same issue. Finally I flashed CM9 and had signal but couldn't activate. So the problem wasn't tied to CM9, but I honestly have no idea what I did to lose signal/activation or to gain either of those back, but my phone does work now and I've successfully flashed both CM9 and Rocko without the loss of signal or service and have nand backups of both since my biggest problem originally stemmed from not having a nand backup of my latest working set up.

Most custom roms disallow communication from what ever it is that allows you to activate with sprint. I noticed that porting in sprintzone.apk often doesn't work and you can't activate with the dialer because it requires communication with sprintzone. So you need to flash to a rom that allows activation and then work your way back up. Glad to hear you got it working.
I followed all instructions in the Virtuous Prime thread in the development section, my tf201 boots up and shows the home screen but as soon as i try to open anything (app drawer, notification area etc) it locks up and reboots.
When it boots if i don't click anything it still reboots after about a minute.
I tried restoring to my nandroid backup but this also locks up if i try to open any app.
Anyone have any idea what the problem is? My Prime is effectively an expensive paper weight if i cant fix this

I would recommend you wipe cache, wipe dalvik, wipe all user data (factory reset) and install the ROM again. I'm currently running this ROM with zero issues.

Yeah i cannot wait to flash this bad boy. Im nervous because I've been playing zenonia 4 and dont want to start over. I used titanium backup to back it up to transfer to my phone to play but then says save file is curupt. So im scared it may do the same thing if i backup on my prime to flash rom and restore that i may get that same curupt file thing and have to start over

Hi guys. I just came from stock build 14t tos custom rom. The main reason for swapping was that i had the random freeze/reboot issues after the ics upgrade that many were facing.
Any ideas how or why its happening?

I'm on SnowLeopard'sAT&T stock jellybean 20j and my GPS doesn't work. It actually hasn't worked for about a month prior while I was on SnowsJB v1.1. I've turned GPS in the settings and in the toggle but when I go to google maps and attempt to pinpoint my location I get the "Waiting for location" quickly followed by the "Your location is temporarily unavailable".
I've lived with the issue while I was on SnowJB 1.1 and figured it'd be resolved when I flashed a new ROM, but after flashing the stock ROM and its still not working, its got me concerned.
Anyone have any suggestions for what I can do to fix this?

I don't have a suggestion, but I'm a little surprised. I have been on SnowJB v1.1 for a couple months, and have never had an issue with GPS. It worked well, and locked position very quickly. I assume it worked for you when you were stock?
Yup everything was working find with stock. I should mention that I have flashed the new radio to no effect. I can also get gps through wifi.
I've even reset my GPS using GPS Status but its still not working.

If you are using twrp recovery try cwm, it worked for user dbgeek in SlickJB thread.
I was using CWM, tried 3 different roms, flashed mako radio, JB radio, and now LGNPST....and still the gps is not working. is my phone ****ed?
It was working fine up until today when I felt like trying a new ROM, I was on snowjb, with the new modem working fine. As soon as I flashed GPS no longer works. Not even the icon comes up, like the hardware is on but not doing anything
I'm on cwm. I'm thinking I LGNPST back to stock, update via the OTA and see if that fixes things.

Ok got it working, here is what I did.
1. Downloaded ICS modem, flashed it cleared cache/factory reset/system
2. installed slick rom v2 (slick rom is the only one that has worked, tried a couple others with this method)
3. at this point, the gps icon was flashing but not locking, either way a good start. So I went into cwm, cleared cache, factory reset again and flashed the at&t jb modem
4. Reboot, viola it works.
I don't know why it'sd not working on nocturnal or snow's rom. Hope this helps.

After you get it working on Slickv2, you can restore your back up, hopefully you made one, then you re-flash the JB modem and you should be all set!!
Note: When I restored my back up, I advanced restored everything but cache. Don't know if this makes a difference or not.

the AOPK had gapps folded in. what is odd is I have now tried AOPK and a CM10 and CM10.1 and they all seem to have the same start screen, come up after the boot like it is already installed, missing any 3G/4G connection. Now I have flashed back to EG01 and run up though iCS several times and it isn't taking the CWM now, says it installs ok but boots into stock recovery. Now I using the older CWM 5504 for the i-905 and it writes somewhere, but apparently not where it should be. I was going to try TWRP but that doens't appear to run on HC/ICS - is it JB only? I have shied away from the newer CWM for a long time because for a while they just seemed to boot-loop the tablet.
Any one have a suggested working version of CWM? This starting from scratch and rolling in all the updates is getting old - which is why I was wondering if there is a way to build my own ODIN set to just flash back to this point without having to go though reroot and install of the recovery (which apparently now I am not able to do - wts! )
Thanks!

Twrp is compatible with ICS too, if im not mistaken. Go to www.droidbasement.com and download pershoots's version of cwm recovery. That should work just fine. BTW, you did make a full wipe (system, data, cache, dalvik) right? And what's EG01?

Ok, i found another recovery laying around that seems to be working. I also found that the bug where you need to delete the script that deletes the new recovery. Once I got that far things started making sense. I guess whatever mod I was on before didn't need it. The next trick will be trynig to decifer how to do an odin backup so that I don't haver to roll though 4/5 upgrades to get here. I know someone is doing it. thanks for the help and a place to bounce ideas. will update if i come up with anything.

Hi,
I have a problem with my Wi-Fi. After a while it starts to go very slow. I have checked it with a speed test and its about 0.5 mbits. I first fixed the problem with a factory reset, but it came back after a day.
I have since found that a cache wipe, from the stock recovery menu, fixes the problem too, but it comes back again after about a day or even less.
I tried some cache wiping apps, but only the wipe from the recovery menu seems to do the trick.
I am on stock JB and I don't want to root out put a custom ROM on yet as my phone is still under warranty.
How can I find out what's causing the problem? It's getting rather annoying having to go to the recovery menu every day.
Thanks

I have a problem with my Wi-Fi. After a while it starts to go very slow. I have checked it with a speed test and its about 0.5 mbits. I first fixed the problem with a factory reset, but it came back after a day.
I have since found that a cache wipe, from the stock recovery menu, fixes the problem too, but it comes back again after about a day or even less.
I tried some cache wiping apps, but only the wipe from the recovery menu seems to do the trick.
I am on stock JB and I don't want to root out put a custom ROM on yet as my phone is still under warranty.
How can I find out what's causing the problem? It's getting rather annoying having to go to the recovery menu every day.
Thanks

That is strange? Maybe its an app you have installed or maybe a bug in the filmware. Head over to "samfilmware" and download the latest build for your version.
Dont think flashing official firmware from there will void your warranty as its official.

Tried flashing the latest stock ROM, same temporary fix like wiping the cache, but after a few hours, goes back to normal. This is with no other apps installed, other than the speedtest app, which I installed after I first identified the problem, so its not an app.
Another thing I noticed is that it went away after I disabled the 5Ghz wifi connection on my router, but it came back. The I tried manual wifi channel instead of auto, same thing. Problem went away, and then came back.
If I change the wifi channel the problem goes away, and then comes back after a few hours.
It seems like wifi settings must have something to do wit it, but I can find a combination which cures it completely.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, this is starting to drive me bonkers:crying:
Try hawkerpaul s GS2Nuke script, if it doesn't work try another wifi (other then the one at your home), if it works with another wifi then reset your router, if it doesn't work try making it without password.
