Hi,
School just started today and we have wireless at school, so i tried to connect to the wifi with credentials and so forth.
I have Proven Rom 1.08 and all the other reg stuff on it. Did nothing wrong at all, but soon after trying to connect to the wireless network, the phone restarted and now its in a continuous loop of restarting. It doesnt stop, I have soft resetted the phone multiple times. I dont want to hard reset it right now since I havent backed up anything. Please help me. I dont know what else to do. I have also removed the battery and put it back after a few mins to push me luck.
P.s. When the phone starts, the first screen, The ATT world phone screen comes on, the phone vibrates, and then a blank screen, and the phone restarts.
Well,
I went with the hard reset, removed my mem card and sim. The phone seems to work as before, but I hope I havent stumbled upon an issue that could appear again.
Lost 10+ hours worth of customization
You could check to connect the phone on the pc \; activesync or wmdc
Rooted the phone then applied the OTA update and since then i keep getting a wifi error. Im currently out of the country so can't connect to sprint. Any ideas?
Anyone?

Yup, had this problem after applying this OTA.
When I click the checkbox to enable wifi, it just shows "error" and does not enable wifi.
A factory reset fixed it for me.
My wifi turns on and connect but won't give me any data

The Atrix has a driver related issue that causes problems connecting to WiFi access points in certain countries. I'm pretty sure they have figured out a workaround over in the Atrix XDA section, sorry I don't have a link for you.
Hi,
My name is Fisher, I have the same problem, I have the phone in Australia and I updated over wifi then my wifi just says error underneath it, also 4G does not work. I can turn wifi on by first putting the phone into aeroplane mode then restarting and turning wifi on while still in aeroplane mode. I have managed to get all working occasionally by having aeroplane mode and wifi on, then going to system updates which are greyed out then turning off aeroplane mode by holding down the power button and when ive done that i have a second or so before the wifi dies to click motorola software update that is now not greyed and it sometimes kicks everything on;-)
I have tried factory resetting the phone 3 times and formatting internal sd on third time, did nothing.
Now i have some dmesg logs with the wifi under error, working in aeroplane mode and all working with my trick, so let me knowif u want them all.
I have a feeling the issue could be a sprint app or process that disables it, look at the access/security settings for sprint zone, it can control wifi, everything seems to be briefley activated when i start the phone in the notification bar then wifi and 4g die, so maybe a sprint process detects that the phone has not activated or something and kills wifi and 4g.
I have reported this on the motorola forum in the thread someone else started, look for " motorola photon wifi error" in google and it might be the first hit.

Mine is working fine, though today I turn WIFI off and my battery had a run away effect. The battery drained 30% in 10 min and the phone was at 116 degrees. It also rebooted itself twice but now it is fine and I turned wifi on and off a few times and no ill effect.
and yep I have the update.
Wifi ERROR after OTA update
hello everyone
i am not a US resident and i bought this amazing phone i am using Cellcom Israel Sim card
i just saw the firmware update,the update run smooth but after the reboot i try'd to turn Wifi on
and getting an ERROR.
try'd to reboot the phone - wifi not working
try'd to pull out the battery and restart - wifi not working
the only thing that works is when i restart the phone in AIRPLANE MODE the wifi works
but soon as i turn the AIRPLANE MODE off the wifi disconnected and cannot turn
it on again until turn back the AIRPLANE MODE again.
i do not using any data plan connection i dont have any...
what can i do??
Just do a factory reset. That will solve this problem.
Its a known problem. Lot of people are facing it after applying OTA. Just do factory reset and you should be fine.

Factory reset doesnt do a thing bro
Hi, I had the same issue actually watch the router and say the wifi connect and then drop, i installed wifi manager and then for some reason it started working and i haven't had a issue since.
no sure why it did this but i also restarted the phone multiple times trying to get it syncing and it wouldn't until that program was installed then after i got connected i uninstalled the app and it still connects without the app
got installed "wifi manager" and again error "error enabling wifi"
Factory resetting does nothing for me, I even formatted the internal memory as well on the third time, the only way so far I have managed to turn wifi and 4g back on and also data as data seems disabled is by:
Enable aeroplane mode, restart and then enable wifi, then go to system updates and you will see the 3 options greyed out, disable aeroplane mode by holding down the power button then click on update motorola software and most of the time that has worked for me.
kc_sheets mentioned installing wifi manager, I have installed it but not restarted my phone as I've managed to get it all temporarily working and Ill test the wifi manager when I have to restart.
Let me know if anyone else can get them all working using my method.
For troubleshooting, I know dmesg is good and probably lsmod, what other linux info can help me find out what the issue it, I would not be surprised if sprint has done something to disable wifi, 4g and data as the phone starts up, but it looks like it only disables at the last minute, does anyones wifi connect as you start the phone up, I think mine may have done.
I'm hoping we can just rename the process or app that is the issue and have a non crippled phone what we paid good money for.

just flashed the phone and guess what??
wifi working again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! w000ttttttttttttttttt
----------------------
after reboot the wifi error starts again.
that means no luck
I'm also out of the States and I just started having wifi issues today. It would see the SSID, try to obtain IP, then fail. I just set a static IP, default gateway, etc... and that did the trick.

Hey guys, same problem - briefly:
Sprint customer - overseas for the next 6 months,
1. OTA update successful, achieved over wifi
2. phone restarted, wifi connectivity lost "error" as with fisher and the rest
3. airplane mode allows wifi connection until GSM is connected again, at which point it gets knocked off
4. I /also/ fat fingered my phone during one of the restarts and had both wifi and GSM working, but it's my nature to test things, so i restarted and of course now it's gone.
5. I am not able to attempt wally's re-register with Sprint approach as I will be away from the states untill January
6. I tried the update sprint zone fix - no luck
7. I tried the disable roaming guards - same as fisher, some of them are green and grayed out, no luck
Thank you !
Hi All,
I just wanted to share with you a solution I've come across to fix a Wifi problem.
The Problem:
After several weeks of perfect performance, my phone became unable to connect to my routers at home. These are Netgear routers.
The only thing I can think of that triggered this issue was flashing a new ROM which included a Radio update. However I think I had this just before flashing the ROM!
But effectively, I was not able to connect to a wireless router. The phone would find the network, allow the key to be entered and would authenticate and try and obtain an IP Address. At this point, it would fail and disconnect. It would just loop like this.
Solution
I tried all sorts. Restarted the router, reflashed my ROM, flashed many earlier radio images, did a full factory reset etc... but each time I just couldn't connect.
Giving up, I rang Orange UK to get a replacement handset. After speaking to the tech guy, he told me he was going to send some settings to my phone... After a little discussion I still couldn't get out of him what he was actually sending. It wasn't APN settings, but as I told him, he doesn't have my Router settings so what on earth can he send to my phone to fix the problem?
However, after he sent the stuff, my phone hung up much to my annoyance!
But I thought, what the hell, so I turned my router off, turned my phone off, removed the battery, waited the magic 30 seconds ( I know, but I was humouring the guy before I rang back to complain about wasting my time )
On turning my phone back on, and turning my router back on... everything worked!!!
So, if you're having a Wifi issue, ring up your operator and see if they have some magic settings that they can send you, and at the very least, turn everything off, and remove the battery for 30 seconds and try again!
Hope this helps someone!

Hi there. I thought i would pass on this helpful information mainly to do with the note 2.
A couple of days ago i was playing around on my note 2 and after a short while it rebooted it self and came back on. When it returned on
I found that i had a 0 in the signal bar and my phone would not make calls or texts nor receive them but yet still had my mobile internet working. When i went to settings-about-status the service state read Out Of Service. Completely unsure why this was i started searching XDA where i found some people were having the same problem as me with the phone but to no avail I found no cure to help.
Following this i phone my network where they advised the usual. Turn off, remove sim and reinsert. Connect to another network reconnect to my carrier and so on again all with no avail. I tried to install a custom rom even took it back to stock and again nothing.
Coming to wits end i took the inevitable chance and started wiping my phone and returned to factory settings and started removing the root and putting the phone back to complete stock to send away under warranty. So i cleared the root and just before sending had one more go at it and heres what i done to get it resolved.
Firstly i went to the dialer and typed *#0011# this bought me to the service mode menu,
Using just the left sortkey press it and click back and this bought me to the Service menu Debug screen.
Your see many options but you need to click option 8 Phone Control
Again your see many options but you only need to click option 7 Network Control
From this points your see option 3 Service Domain. Go ahead and click this.
From this menu your see 3 options CS+PS, CS ONLY PS ONLY. this is what was the problem. My phone was set to PS only so i took the risk and selected CS+PS only to all avail the signal returned and my phone cam back to life with loads of texts streaming through.
I am not really sure why this worked or what the CS or so stands for but being the fact it worked for me and after searching the internet for days seeing many people with the same problem i thought i would post here my results here and hopefully it might help some one in the same situation.
I have tried this one but still service status is out of service. I use Note N7000. Pls help. Also, I dont receive updates as device status is shown as modifed. Can anyone help pls?
Hi
After an OTA update my wifi is turning off when the phone sleeps (screen off) ; i tried every fix that i could find, router and phone reset, changed router, stopped all power optimizations on the phone, safe mode etc... nothing helps. My wifi stays on only if I'm not connected to a network; if I connect to any network and close the screen, after 1-2 minutes when i pick up the phone the wifi is stopped. I can start it again and connect but it's annoying.
I tried to use adb but I'm not sure if something in there is wrong and what to change, maybe someone can help me with those or some ideas.
