[Q] Wifi Problem On S III - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was with 4.1.1 official firmware and today I flashed 4.1.2 for Germany through Odin.I've made 2 factory resets before and after the install.After that I started setting up my phone and I noticed that Wi-Fi is not working properly.And by that I mean that Wi-Fi is only connecting after I restart my phone otherwise it's obtaining IP adress but the phone disables it.I tried changing the channels on my router,tried restarting it and I even removed my security but it didn't work.My wi-fi connects only when I restart my phone.If I turn off the Wi-Fi I cannot connect untill I restart the phone again.I've read about a 100 posts about Wi-Fi problems but none of them worked.If anyone here can help me Please I would be grateful.

Flash the firmware again .

I did that a couple of times.I flashed the version for Poland and again that for Germany... And The problem is there again.

Ok I flashed 4.1.1 for Poland and updated through the Wifi and the effect was the same ... When phone started with 4.1.2 the Wi-fi could not connect because of poor connection to my router.

same problem here

I seem to have this problem intermittently even with the Foxhound ROM. I also don't have a backup of my stock 4.1.1. Any other solution for this?

Try Kies Air or wifi file transfer pro
hey mohannad072
i think it will be best if you go to samsung center.if you cant fix the problem on your own then ask samsung center to identify the problem.one thing i want to ask when did this problem start and how.also do you pull the usb cable carelessly because it could have damaged the port.

I had this problem when i had upgraded to 2.3.6
You can solve this, first go to downloading mode and reboot by long pressing power button then go to recovery mode and reboot.
for me it solved usb connection problem.

what a serious problem you have i mean most of our suggestions would fix your problem but one thing i want to ask you were able to flash? then that rules out damage usb port.but if i find a fix i will tell you,see if you can identify the problem.but if you were able to flash then it is either bad drivers or damaged usb cable.
When th GB 2.3.6released its was working very good i used 1clickroot app to root my phone and start using the mobile odin app to flash Rom and kernels (from the phone itself )i think u know this app and it can root any Rom without need to any pc to do it ...am starting to think to send it to the Samsung care center ....this phone will made me crazy bro ....and thank very much man to try to helps in this phone issue .

There is a thread floating around somewhere that explains how you can restore it if you didn't make a backup. But for the life of me I can't find it.
But it's definitely out there somewhere

I'm using the GT-I9300
I was told to flash to stock firmware but i am totally clueless to what stock firmware i should use as there are so many out there.
dude.. didn't u make a nandroid backup?
Sent from my GT-I9001 using xda premium
nope, no backup was done.
I think its time for a paid repair
Use odin and restore to a 4.0.4 Firmware then reset flash counter and then update with kies to 4.1.1 and your imei should be back if it's not then return it to samsung/the place you bought it from and get a warrenty repair ( and what ever they just say u havent flashed it ever )
any idea to what 4.0.4 firmware i should flash it to.

What did you do in the first place to mess it up?
I didnt do anything ! Even i havent root my phone either !! M using 2.3.4 Ind version gb.
Can i update it with official ics and have new baseband ?
Everyone thinks that unknown baseband means corrupted efs but not always. First try taking out your battery for 3 min and pit it back. Your baseband may come back. Works for me.

i wouldn´t reccomend to do anything like efs or whatever without having some basic experience
Just update your phone and see what happens. 2.3.4 isn´t the best firmware imo
i think an update is a solution for your problem.
