After flashing one of the custom roms I realised that my Wifi is stuck in "Wifi turning on mode" without a mac address and it doesn't allow me to turn off nor will it start searching for networks. I thought it's a rom problem so I fastboot to stock 4.1.2 retail british (on my retail asia), but the problem persists. To make the matter worse, the only way to root it is to have wifi enabled.
I did a search and understood that for RAZR, wifi and bluetooth is 1 chip, which means if it's a hardware failure, the bluetooth shouldn't work as well, but it works flawlessly. Almost giving up and continue to use my RAZR as a stock/non-wifi/non-rooted phone, the wifi suddenly worked one morning and I quickly rushed to root it, installed BMM and flashed a 2nd system custom rom. :victory:
Funny thing is, on every reboot, wifi still doesn't work in stock rom but a 4.2.2 custom rom's wifi (liquidsmooth and pac) works flawlessly everytime. Strangely, I've not heard of other Razr users having this problem: Nexus users encounter this, but it was solved with a firmware update. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1554150
I still want to use stock rom because I do use my razr with a lapdock and with my tv, so I would appreciate any help to solve this problem. I have also tried deleting/renaming wpa_supplicant.conf from system/etc/wifi but I think that only works if the wifi can't connect to a router properly.
I was also wondering if it's possible to install 4.2.2 wifi "drivers" in the stock 4.1.2 rom. I seriously doubt Motorola is going to release any more firmware updates for XT910/912.
I've attached a screenshot of the error in Android SDK Dalvik Debug Monitor. I think this is a difficult problem to solve but I hope a genius can help me.
This may work..try entering these commands in a terminal emulator on your phone:

Wifical.sh
Please leave a thanks if I helped you!

I don't have experience working with non-USA phones, I will ask a couple friends and see what I can come up with.
I have flashed retail uk too on my razr and since then wifi keeps losing the signal for 2-3 seconds then all comes back to normal.

Try deleting wpa_supplicant.conf from system/etc/wifi then reboot. Your system will create a new one. Rename it if you're afraid.

Hmmm. I speak from my experience in MIUI ICS, as well as JB 4.2.2 liquidsmooth now, so this may or may not work.
Firstly, I would advise you to try rebooting, fixing permissions in your custom recovery (such as BMM) and then trying out the wifical.sh again. It usually is the problem on JB WIFI issues.
Since it didnt show favourable results before, I shall tell you about another way that I learnt from my experience at ICS.
Use a root explorer to navigate to: /data/misc/dhcp and delete whatever is in there, i.e. all the files present over there. Reboot your phone after that and maybe it will work...
If it doesn't then well, I'm terribly sorry. Thanks!
I am having the same problem??Can anyone please tell who to get the wifi on??
Liquidsmooth devs confirmed this issue and the wifical solution. The problem occurs in v2.7 and will be solved in future releases.

Mine is a stock JB problem. All other JB 4.2.2's wifi worked fine.
Glad my thread helped others though. :highfive:
I tried the wifical.sh fix, but I am getting the following error in terminal emulator:
"rm failed for /system/ect/firmware/ti-connectivity/wl1271-nvs.bin, No such file or directory Unable to open file /system/ect/wifi/TQS_D_1.7.ini (No such file or directory) Failed to read ini file /system/ect/wifi/TQS_D_1.7.ini Calibration not complete. Removing half-baked nvs"
I am on stock, FXZed back, tried installing an AOKP port on it and nothing seems to work. Thinking about trying to install either Liquid or CM since this is a fix that is known to work. But I am getting very frustrated by this since I am basically just trying to make sure that it is working so that I can just sell the damn thing.
Any other help would be greatly appreciated

So i was trying to Root my Samsung and I think i miss-understood the operations and processes.
Samsung Galaxy S2
Kernel 2.3.6
Downloaded SGH-I777-ATTGalaxyS2RootStockZedomaxKernel.tar
Installed, no problems, all good, but no wifi... freaking out.
Searched the Forum... found there was an issue.
Attempted to reload the stock kernel StockKernel-PDA.tar
Installed, no problems, back to 2.6.35.7 Gingerbread.UCKK6
But Wifi will not enable....
Kinda freaking out as Dont understand how the Zedomax and Stockkernel are 6/8mb... but the rest of the post are talking about a 200/300mb file which needs to be downloaded...
Just looking for help on how to get back WiFi?...
read thru: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286432
...If you bootloop or things behave wacky, enter 3e recovery (stock kernel means stock recovery) and do a Wipe Data/Factory Reset. If you are reverting from UCKK6 back to UCKH7 you MUST perform this step or wifi will not work.
I Did not go from UCKK6 to UCKH7... i don't think?? So any help on what i need to do would be awesome!
AT&T is the carrier.
Also without having to 100% wipe and re-install.
You need to find the "Return to stock" thread and go from there.
Zedo's kernel is ancient, it will not provide wifi with UCKK6 system images.
Only my kernel, the UCKK6 stock kernel, and (maybe, not sure) SiyahKernel will provide wifi with UCKK6.
Kernels are <8 MB. 300MB = full kernel and system image restore.
My guess is you flashed a UCKH7 stock kernel.
Found a return to stock thread and it mentions a RUU_Ace_Cingular_US_1.80.502.3_Radio_12.39.60.19_2 6.06.04.06_M_release_166557_signed.exe as well as a pd98img.zip which are also both 290MB...
Found another thread for Official i9100 Firmwares KG, KH, KI, KJ, KK1/2/5, KL1/2/3, LA2 Download but none are for USA/AT&T.
There are a LOT of thread on this and i have been reading thru as many as i can...
If the Stock Kernel or Entropy512 Stock kernel File name or description can be posted i can do the update thru odin...
On the Zedomax, i saw that after i flashed... never blindly trust youtube =(

I suggest searching a bit more methodically - look in this forum subsection, and look at the sticky threads in the General and Development forums. Threads are made sticky for a reason.

SHOstock2 v1.3 works well with WiFi if you want a custom ROM (ICS).
I was using UnNamed v2.2.1 and it was very stable, but I wanted to try Ics, so I'm now using the AOKP 4.0.4 but I'm having issues with the Gps, still doing some tests, if I dont find any, then I'll move to SHOstock2 v1.3

Sounds like it could be hardware failure. To test that, flash back to straight stock followed by a wipe data/factory reset from 3e recovery. If the problem persists, then it is either a problem with your phone hardware, or a problem with the available wifi router signal. You can test the latter by trying to connect on different routers.

I dont want to belive that my hardware is broken.
But i flashed again my SGH-I777, and the problem persists.
My wifi just says "Turning on" when I push button, and it never boosts again.

took phone apart, no obvious signs of hardware failure (have pics)

hey brother, first of all, your wifi is not damage fisically. But you are in the same situation that i was.
my SGH-I777 is working very well after too much work with it.
i gave my cellphone to my little brother, and two days later he told that the wifi was working fine.
i made this face O_O i couldnt believe what he was saying.
right now i dont know, how he resolved the problem, the only things that he did was change the OS i guess.
i will call him tomorrow to ask about the solutions, but man, dont worry too much coz you just like my brother, will resolve the problem
It is not hardware...
found another thread that suggests FXR WiFi fixer app from play store.
Ran it on the the AOKP JB 4.1.2 from 11.20.20102
seemed to solve issue -- connected to wifi but lost connection after ~30 min
same issue -- constant "Turning WiFi on" message.
ran FXR again -- connects temporarily then loses connectivity
same thing every time i run FXR
should i use a different ROM?
which one?
any help is GREATLY appreciated
Thanks

You could ask in the AOKP thread if there are others experiencing wifi issues with that rom. If not, a fresh install of the rom may solve the issue. It definitely sounds like a firmware issue, but when there is any question whether the issue is firmware or hardware, the test is to flash back to stock and see how it works. As far as which firmware to use, there are a number of different firmware that are completely stable. You should read through the developer threads, and then try them out to see how you like them.
BEFORE I START... THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM WITH MY HOME WIRELESS ROUTER
Don't be that guy
I bought my ATT Atrix last Jan. Everything worked. I rooted it. Everything worked. I updated to 2.3.4. Everything worked. Rooted again. Still worked
Starting Feb. 2, 2011 the wifi and bluetooth have stopped working. When I go to turn either on it tries for a few seconds, then gives me "Error", and then the phone reboots in about 10 seconds.
This is a video of the exact problem I am having. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a73A5oXxpq8 I am not the guy who posted the video. Please don't bug him. I am the first to comment on it.
The phone got so bad yesterday that it got locked into a constant reboot stage where I was lucky to get out one text before it rebooted.
I was able to unlock the bootloader using adb and cwm. I then flashed the GingerMod 2.3.6 #7 Mod. My constant rebooting problem was solved but the WiFi/bluetooth error still remained as well as the reboot while trying to turn either on.
I then read through [FIX] Final fix for nonworking WIFI on unlocked ATT Atrix in some countries This does not seem to work with 2.3.6.
Does anyone know how to get my WiFi working again?
Not sure if it will help you but it helped me with my small wifi issues.
Since i purchased my Atrix I couldn't connect to some wifi spots.
Lets say 1 of 20 spots fails. Just couldn't get ip address.
And just yesterday i flashed the final version of faux 024r ketnel (for neutrino 2.2 ROM[CM Weekly #6]) and problem wanished. At least i connected to spot created on my laptop that i couldn't do before

Hi Paygan,
Just remember that if you make any change like unlock the bootloader you will loss your warranty, so, if you still have the warranty, you should consider to use it to fix your problem.
I just accepted to lose my warranty because my phone was ok (and I hope it keep that way!

tell me if it works?
If both wifi and bluetooth are not working i'd say 99% it's a hardware issue since they're on the same chip.
i had the same problem a while ago after i dropped my phone. it was unlocked but i was able to warranty it out to AT&T by flashing the stock 2.3.4 blah.blah.91 sbf onto it, which does not re-lock it but it does hide the Unlocked msg that you see at boot
I am having the same problem. running 2.3.6 build 4.5.141
After 2 hours of wifi my phone returned to the same wifi error loop including restarts and the rest. I have tried all fixes on this site and other sites. This occurred soon after I unlocked my device. Does anyone know the cause of this problem?!
I heard hardware problem, maybe it's unlocking from 2.3.6 that caused it since I was also running that

Yeah I've got the same problem too, tried to re-install CM7 and it didn't work.
I haven't tried any of the other solutions yet though.
try changing to a blur based rom if not the stock blur rom. this should stop the problem as it did for me.
I've been ripping my hair out the last couple days trying to figure this out.
In the process of flashing a ROM and kernel I did a number of things:
-Carrier unlock (I feel like this is the culprit)
-Unlocked the bootloader
-Flashed Wet Dream (2.3.6 build)
-Installed webtop
-Attempted to root, unsuccessfully (let me know when the 2.3.6 root is available, haha)
After all this, everything was working fine--including wifi. But somewhere along the lines, maybe 15 minutes after I complete all these steps, out of the blue my wifi won't connect. It just says "obtaining IP address" and never connects.
So I got pissed and went on a wiping/reflashing spree. Got everything reset. The wifi was working great again. Then randomly, it just stopped working again.
Question:
Does anyone know why this is happening and what I can do to fix it?!
I'm dying here. Just as a side note in case you need this information, I think I'm going to flash to the 2.3.4 Wet Dream so I can root my device. Also, I don't mind going back to stock. If that's what fixes, it then I'll be more than happy to go stock. I plan on running webtop2sd as well.
Thanks in advance.

I've been ripping my hair out the last couple days trying to figure this out.
In the process of flashing a ROM and kernel I did a number of things:
-Carrier unlock (I feel like this is the culprit)
-Unlocked the bootloader
-Flashed Wet Dream (2.3.6 build)
-Installed webtop
-Attempted to root, unsuccessfully (let me know when the 2.3.6 root is available, haha) <-- i think this one no need to do

Benjat, thanks for the reply.
My battery settings were set to "Nighttime saver". I set it to "Performance mode".
I set my wifi sleep policy to Never.
Still have the same problem.
My understanding was that WD was already rooted, but Busybox wasn't installing so I ran Root Check Basic from the Market and it said my device did not have root access

im not sure about busybox. what apps u running that require busybox? i want to try install it.
*i just try download root check basic. got message "your device isn't compatible with this item" hehe
Reboot and still no dice.
Ahhhh! So frustrating!
I was mid webtop2sd install and busybox is required for one of the steps to work. I'm actually not sure what it does.

nvm.. maybe do full wipe again..
what ver of WD u using? with what addon? im using WD 1.4.3 full
I've already done a cache/date wipes to no avail.
I'm using 1.4.4 lite. I'm thinking of flashing the 2.3.4 based WD though (is that 1.4.3?).
I could flash something else too, I guess. I really need webtop (with xfce mod) and I heard Wet Dream works well with it.
If this really is a software problem and it is the ROM's fault, then does anyone have a webtop compatible ROM recommendation?

i cant tell if its problem with rom or what.. 1.4.3 is 2.3.6 base. and yes webtop work well with it.
here's normaly what i do..
Boot CWM Recovery
Wipe data/factory
wipe cache
wipe dalvik
flash rom
reboot to fastboot and do fastboot-w & then fastboot reboot.
let it boot for 1st time (until stable/full load) i left it around 10 mins
then reboot back to CMW to flash addon. usually i flash 1 then boot.. continues untill flash all.. maybe a bit fussy step.. but i prefer all loaded before flashing another
*i never tried webtop2sd yet.. still dont buy bigger mem card coz funding for lapdock
** maybe can try this one to make it clean wipe.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421522&highlight=fastboot+-w
Yeah I realized too late that everything cost me way more than I had originally intended to spend. SD cards have come down in price but still pretty pricey for a 32 GB card.
And thank you for the link. I'll try it out tomorrow and report back. It's 1:00 AM here in Seattle!
Hey Mankey,
Have you tested different Wifi networks to ensure that the issue is not with the phone or the ROM at all?
Also, check if someone else on Wet Dream thread had WiFi issues, if this happened with someone else, then they should have fix for sure!
Usually I do what bejnat mentioned and usually works.
Also, about the root, try to follow a root process again. It happened with me before, then I had to install a .zip file through Recovery mode to have root access again.
Hope this helps!
wouldn't just flashing the radio or a newer radio maybe fix his issue??
Yeah it doesn't work with other networks either. And as for root I don't think there's a direct way to root 2.3.6 yet.
Sk8trix, I think I'll try that after I flash back to stock 2.3.4. I've tried just about everything but the radio. Kernels don't fix it.
I'll post an update in a couple days. I really want to get this fixed.
I had the same problem with my dark side when I 1st got it and to fix it I flashed another ROM ,loaded it then flashed back ,cleaned delvik cache and flashed gapps then rebooted and 1st boot fixed my problem was using 2.3.6 with webtop2sd+nebtop app hope this helps you

Hi,
I have a major issue with my WiFi and reboots.
Background: I am using an ATT phone within the UK on T-Mobile network.
Randomely, the other day, the WiFi turned off and when I turned it back on, it says Error....
I have tried everything I can think of; wiping and reinstalling rom, erasing everything in fastboot, updating the radio (further question on that) and also kernels! Finally I tried FruitCake to get back to stock, still no luck!!
Radio: Are radio's carrier specific, i.e. could I flash a radio meant for Europe to replace the ATT one? (I am on .36)
What can I do now, please. Thanks

If it helps, i accidentally formatted the PDS partition a while back and the reason for reboot is AP KERNEL PANIC
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am having similar problems. Just last night my phone started rebooting frequently after having turl's v8 build of cm9 for probably a week and it was working great. However, now I have tried wiping everything, putting on different cm7 or cm9 builds and what I have come to the conclusion is anytime I turn the WiFi on, it reboots.
It is not even connecting to anything, just turning it on makes it reboot. I was on the .36 radio with this issue, I tried using the .37P radio and it did not fix it.
Does anyone have any other ideas to try and fix?
Benny,
Do you get the option to turn it on? I'm on cm9 and it'll show up like the attached after it reboots.
No. I dont have that screen. It just says wifi error and Bluetooth crashes as well....

From the other threads I have read, I think we are boned. It seems like the Broadcom WiFi/Bluetooth chipset is borked and the only fix other people have gotten is through an actual repair. I hope you are under warranty - I'm going to revert to stock and hope they accept it.

But, how come whenever I flash a new rom, the WiFi will work temporarily, i.e. it would connect, obtain IP etc for a few minutes then just not work until I reflash?
Surely that is not hardware?

Did you use Titanium Backup, and restore apps like Maps, Music, and YouTube? People are saying this can cause issues.
Also did you restore call logs after flashing? I experienced my wifi and mobile networking dying after doing that on only some of the new roms out there lately. It's a bug with one of the base roms, that a lot of custom roms are based off of. It was fixed with a new base rom version, but some of the custom roms have yet to officially update. Updates are under way though. Try out Morrison's 0.7 and see if you get the same result. It's been updated.
Although, you could be having a completely different issue. If you mean you can just leave it running after flashing and the wifi dies, I don't know what to say.

Tried all of the above and still nothing unfortunately. Just want to update on symptoms of the phone if that helps:
Everything eventually gets more and more buggy, even recovery is really laggy and slow
Data will stop after a few days use, and only fix that i know of is to reflash
WiFi does not work, it connects for about 30 seconds after a reflash, but then nothing.
Logcat says - Failed to Load WiFi Driver (after reporting WiFi HUNG)
The phone can crash when I plug in the MicroUSB to charge, when it restarts it says AP KERNEL PANIC.
I have tried everything except for flashing via RSD lite, do you think that could work?
Thanks
BUMP,
Any help at all with this unique situation would be very helpful.
Thanks
So I flashed the stock JB ROM for the AT&T variant. Now, whenever I try to do pretty much anything I get a popup saying "Unfortunately, the process android.process.media has stopped." I was going to flash back to stock using the stock ROM that's posted in the development forum but the phone also won't go into media sync mode when connected to my computer (it did before flashing).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Which ROM specifically? There were some that had this issue (one of the Korean and one of the Canadian (e973 based) that were changed for the AT&T version had this issue. When you restored your apps did you restore data too? Several of the ROM's have this issue when data is included. If you restored data, then reflash the ROM and restore the apps without data.
The SnowJB ROM is the most stable 4.x rom that has all critical features (camera, GPS, etc). If you didn't flash it, you may want to give it a try.
Edit: regarding media sync, do you mean MTP? If you can't connect MTP can you connect PC software or Camera (PTP)? If those don't work then download the ROM via wifi. If nothing else, go to original development and download the CM or CFX (SR 14 or 15) roms. They are much smaller than the 4.1.2 ROM's (just under 200MB), so they'll transfer quickly via wifi (or your data plan and won't kill you plan limits, should you go the data plan root). They JB 4.2.2 and work great, but don't have working camera or GPS, so many people can't use them as DD's. They should allow you to connect MTP so you can copy a different 4.1.2 ROM to you device.

"debloated AT&T" is what I'm using (sorry I didn't make that clear, I've been fighting this all day).
Yes, I do mean MTP. I actually just tried to use PC software and camera with no luck. I tried wiping everything, reflashing the ROM and applying the permission fixes in CWM but the errors still occur.
I'm trying to grab CFX via wifi now. Thanks for the help!

Some other tricks that fixed similar issues for others:
1) use a different USB port
2) use a different USB to micro cable
3) reboot PC/Laptop (standard windows fix is to reboot 3 times, to see if it fixes the prob, before calling their helpless desk). I had to do this when I disconnected the phone without switching to charge only. I seem to recall that it took 2 reboots to finally get everything reset, so Windows would recognize the device was connected.

I actually tried three different cables and two different machines in completely separate locations but the problem persisted throughout all. I did try rebooting twice last night. Didn't go for a third.
I finally got CFX on it this morning and the phone was recognized by the computer immediately. I'm going to flash SnowJB onto it to see if the same thing happens.
Thanks for the help!
