I rooted my S3 about a year ago, when I got it first using CF-Root. Had zero problems.
Gave it to the girlfriend a month ago. Did a factory reset etc, but left it rooted. I did however take out my sd card(which probably has something to do with the problem?)
Anyways, 3 days ago, the wifi suddenly stopped working on it all of a sudden. The wifi tab is kind of greyed out and wont turn on or scan for any networks. (see photos below)
I tried turning the phone on/off, taking out the battery etc. Nothing worked.
I then flashed the same ROM back onto it and the problem disappeared for a day, but then all of a sudden reappeared! I thought I had fixed it, but no!
I put back in a sd card,I then downloaded and flashed another Rom(CM 10.2) using Rom manager from the sd card, and the problem disappeared again.
But after 12 hours both the wifi and the 3G stopped functioning
I've no idea what is the problem. Can anyone help me out with this? Could it be the kernel that's causing the problem? I'm not very tech savvy guys. I know how to root the phone, but I've had to deal with any issues.
I'd really appreciate any help, as we need access to the net from our phones. I've included photos below so that you can see the rom and kernal and other details that may help ye decipher the problem.

Problem was present before I flashed the CM nighties, so that doesn't mean it's the issue!

Have you tried flashing it back to a pure stock ROM (or maybe a stock derived ROM like WanamLite or Imperium) ?

No, I haven't. Simply because I'm not sure which ROM is suitable for me.
Could you point me towards a link to that ROM(a version that works on my phone, or does it matter?)
I'm lost with all the different ROM's etc at this stage, and all I want is for the phone to be back working - whether that's with or without root access. It's for my girlfriend, so she hasn't a clue about root etc.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Via logcat you can see messages from android's internal logging system. A lot of times the internal errors you don't see can be obtained via logcat. Look at http://www.xda-developers.com/android/help-your-developers-pull-a-logcat-when-issues-arise/ and https://www.xda-developers.com/tag/logcat/ for more info.
Can anyone just suggest to me a way to get the phone back to it's original state either rooted or unrooted...I don't care.
I just need to get the phone fixed so that my g.friend has a phone that has wifi working properly.
Do I need a different kernel or something? I'm lost, so any help as to what direction to that is 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 =(

Of the items you mentioned, NONE are for this device.
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.
I changed the kernel and the rom. I restored to old factory settings, and nothing works.
I would like to get back my wifi.
i appreciate your opinions about this issue.
WIFI suddenly stopped
My WIFI also suddenly stopped working
on 7-1-13 I installed aokp_i777_ota-eng-task650_6.24.2013 worked for a month
Yesterday the WIFI stopped connecting. Got a constant "Turning on Wi-Fi" message but nothing else
I installed aokp_JB_i777-ota-eng.task650-ktoonsez-11.20.2012 which I had been running for the last 6 months
Same problem
I did a full wipe. Wiped cache, data, dalvik. Did a fresh install, then wiped cache, dalvik and fix permissions.
Same
a i9100 thread linked a video of a leaking battery inside that disabled wifi
took phone apart, no obvious signs of hardware failure (have pics)
used odin3 v1.85 with ATTGalaxyS2Unroot_SGH-i777.tar to unroot
wifi will turn on scan for a minute then turn off -- will not find any AP
router working fine with my other i777
anything i missed?

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
mike

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.
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.

then try check: settings--wireless & network settings--wifi settings--advanced (press menu key(the left touch key in bottom)--wifi sleep policy-- set to never.
btw, wetdream should be already rooted. correct me if im wrong.

My battery settings were set to "Nighttime saver". I set it to "Performance mode".

I was mid webtop2sd install and busybox is required for one of the steps to work. I'm actually not sure what it does.

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 an Atrix4g international (Uk retail) which is rooted and unlocked. Until about a week ago I had been running Aura ROM with a days 1.45 kernel. This was all good but I experienced some 3g data problems.
In the end I got fed up of not being able to download pictures when I received an mms and decided to flash back to my original rom. Once done I thought maybe the over clock 1.45 kernel would work with the stock ROM. It didn't and failed but I then noticed my wifi showed error where it usually said connected.
I reflashed my stock room from my recovery backup and it started working ok again. Both times I flashed my recovery it said error with recovery but the phone details read as it did before when it had the original ROM as it was bought.
Since doing I this I have noticed my phone being really laggy.... I also noticein advanced task killer that I never seek to have more than 80mb free ram.
I checked this against task manager and titanium backup and they seem to agree with the figures tb actually said I was using 100% at one point.
I even tried a factory reset fearing the hard brick stories.
I have wiped the davlik and cache and perfomed a factory wipe from recovery mode
Looks like I have a problem..
Anyone got any ideas on how to rectify this.... Is it likely to be anything to do with partitioning???
You atrix geniuses out there are my last hope so I thank you in advance for any wisdom.
Are you using the stock Gingerbread ROM from your carrier? If so, it sounds like you might need to flash a kernel that has the international RAM fix. Try downloading and flashing this if you're on stock Gingerbread.
http://faux.androidro.ms/Atrix-GB-Kernel-024r-ext4-1.00GHz.zip
That's the 1Ghz kernel made by faux123 for Gingerbread ROMs. After you flash that check to see that you have more RAM available.

I'm sorry but I saw the title and just heard this in my head....
Lag city chick, lag lag city chick.... (Tyga - Rack city... stupid song)
Don't ask.
Glad to see you've solved your problem though
Knock on effect??!!
Although I now have many many more rams than an Afghani goat hearder this process has thrown up another problem. The same error message is showing up where it usually says connected under wiring settings and wiring will not activate or connect.
Yes I was trying to flash back to my stock rom (via cm rom manager-reboot into recovery-restore.....)
Ok so the story continues...
after receiving your advice I flashed the file you linked to. And as I reported ram was up dramatically but then when I tried to connect to wifi it wouldn't. I went to settings -wireless settings- checked wiring on check box to turn it on and underneath in grey writing it threw up the message "error" where it usually says "connecting..." or "connected" etc
I went back through cmrm to recovery mode and did the wipe data-wipe cache-restore rom again but did not reflash the file you linked... checked wifi and worked but ram had gone again.
Went back into clement and went through whole process in one. Ie factory data wipe-wipe cache-restored ROM-flashed file you linked to....
Set up phone again checked wifi and still shows error. But my rams are back...
???? Puzzled!
Dont suppose you have an idea whats going on?

Problems not yet entirely solved though..... :-(
Desperation is now setting in
Just an update... and help to solve this is really appreciated.
I have trawled the site and others regarding wifi error.
People seem to suggest its a number of things either hardware or software flashing kernels roms radios wifi fix zips etc etc
I can confirm my problem is not hardware.
I flashed back to aura and wifi function is back. And rams up to normal.....
but I have the original problem I cannot send or download pictures when received via mms.
Is there a fix for this?
I assume not and so therefore would like to ask the question does anyone know of a Stock ATRIX international (uk) retail Rom that is compattable with an ATRIX international (uk) retail phone that has been rooted and unlocked.
For some reason my recovery must be corrupt and is giving me jip.
Maybe someone knows why my recovery isn't working and knows how to fix it?
Thanks all in advance...
When I had the problem with wifi reporting just "error", I fixed it by just redownloading the kernel and reflashing it. Maybe try another recovery if that doesn't work, but I don't know why it wouldn't. :|
The wifi problem is most likely the kernel. Since you are on Aura now though with no data or MMS I would recommend changing your APN settings. Try googling the correct APNs for your carrier and changing them under Settings>Wireless and Networks>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names.

Why dont you try Nottachtrix if you want a blur based rom, or Neutrino for a cm7 based rom?
What recovery are you using? If you arent using Romracers recovery, try flashing his and seeing if his recovery fixes your problem.

i'll tried to full wipe the rom and install again ,but still same problem
I've been a lurker here for nearly two years now. But this time I wanted to make an account.
I installed JellyBam 3.3.0 yesterday which is based on CM10. It's an AMAZING ROM but unfortunately I have to go back to stock since I got the same problem than the OP.
I got the problem "The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected." While I was transferring my mp3s on my SDCard.
The problem occurs randomly and also occurs if I copy file on internal storage of the phone.
I tested my SDCard. There's no bad sector on it
I changed switch usb cable... the problem still occurs
I deleted the usb drivers and re-install it . Still no luck.
I went back to stock ICS 4.0.1 this morning and file transfert work perfectly.
That's crazy stuff...then again, crazy stuff happens.
Problem
Oddly enough, I am having the same issue on my Galaxy Nexus. On my 5th? phone, but came with IMM76K instead of JRO03O (VZW). Unlocked and rooted and flashed updated image. Never have I seen this happen since I've been using Android (HeroC days). I'm going to reset, relock, and report back.

I'm pretty sure it's a firmware issues and not hardware.
As I mentioned earlier, I switched back to stock on my S2 and everything is perfect now (minus the fact that everything is not smooth as JB)
Yep, its definitely software problem.
Used a few roms on my S2 before, it didnt occur on any other, including last official JB.
On CM10.1 when copying files from PC into internal memory, i get same error - it copies few files, and the denies to copy for the next few ones.
any ideas?

EDIT:
@SystemC - I think I've found the reason, which is actually pretty stupid ,)
The problem was with Odin running in the background ^_^ it was somehow interfering with USB transfer. And I reflashed phone 4 times trying to debug it... hahaha ^_^ what a failure

I had the same problem, found one workaround that worked for me. I always copy my music to my music folder in my sd card. So after I got the occasional files that wouldn't copy, I just copied them straight to the sdcard, not in the Music folder. No error message. Don't know why this is happening, definetly a software thing.
Re:
I have the same problem,CyanogenMod 10.1.3 Stable,in mass storage the speed is about 1-1.5 mbps,when on MTP the speed is good,but after a short time it stops with the error "This device has either stopped responding or been disconnected"!
This is a CyanogenMod problem...hope someone will fix it!

I always have signal but that's all....what can i do more? (and my imei has changed to this: 00499*******

thx man, i hope someone knows how can i solve the problem.
What had you done before you got to this issue of no cellular signal?
Did you flash a custom ROM etc..? Which version were you on before? 4.3?
What did you do after you found out about this issue? Did you by any chance flash an older version?
Because that tends to do that, atleast that's what happened to me.
I had a wrong/fake IMEI ("0049..."), which caused that I had no cell reception and couldn't use the phone to call or send/receive sms etc...
I googled a lot and I tried some of the TUT on the web, but nothing helped. Until I found a thread on the xda that said one could try to flash a newer stock ROM (don't know the exact thread).
So I went ahead and checked the version I was on...luckily it was 4.0.4
I then downloaded a newer stock ROM 4.3 for my region and flashed that using ODIN...once it passed I went to recovery: wiped cache and factory reset.
and voila...when I checked the IMEI code again, it was back to the original one.
If that doesn't help check the following thread on xda: here
I suspect he allowed the battery to run out, which corrupted the efs partition, as he says his phone was on 4.3 and didn't change anything until after the problem happened.
Flashing latest stock firmware is the first step, as suggested above, but I think the OP may have to pay for a repair. Make sure it works on 4.3 before you accept the bill.
I forgot to say, my battery got bigger before that happened, i can't fit it in my phone, is double than a normal one, i buy other battery, have this something to deal with the problem?

I was on 4.3 version, i didn't do nothing, i even not installed the root/cwm....the problem appeared from nothing...right before i change my battery. I tried with my region stock rom (4.1.2;romania) and with 4.3 stock ROM but didn't work.
Today i let the phone on a service....i told her what is the problem and i hope there's nothing to do with motherboard. Anyway, please let me know if there's something else to do while i wait 3-4 days for the answer

That's not good...bulging/expanding battery is a very bad thing and should be replaced asap.
Why it happens, is another thing...could be due to various reason such as thermal runaway or even acid leakage.
Fix that first before you move to any flashing and/or other stuff...

Fixed
Hi everybody, i finally sent the phone to service and they fixed it for 17€; everything ok, no problem occurred...i flashed stock 4.3 ROM, then CWM and SU, but....then....after one day of use, i forgot to shut down the phone and, again, removed the battery with the screen on....i connected quickly the battery and the phone started without press any button.....and then, surprise!!! Me trying to make a phone call: "Not registered to network"...fu**...but IMEI was still alright(w t f?). Third day i sent again the phone to the service and they told me that i am playing whit the soft (what man? just because i flashed CWM and SU? damn), i told them again what i do with the battery and they said is not true (now what i am supposed to do? they don't trust me) but fixed it again free..for first and last time. Now here is the question: what i need to back up in case that will happen again? It can't be fixed with a backup of IMEI/Modem file...
Go read the sticky thread in general forum.
