I just flashed UltimaROM (previously running CWM 10.2),
And there are some weird things going on, it doesn't have a wifi signal, normally I see like 9-10 routers in my area, but now I can't see ANY router, sometimes I see my own router but I can't connect to it.
3G doesn't work, well I'm not sure if it doesn't work because it's always slow where I live (so I have to actually go somewhere else for good signal).
So what can I do?
I tried sending SMS', and tried to call, and it works.
P.S. I kept a backup of my EFS folder.
Wifi is kernel, 3G is modem.
Suggest you flash a full stock rom first before you do anything else, factory reset also.

I flashed it with Googy Kernel, trying another kernel now.
The WiFi problem seems to be fixed, thanks boomboomer.
What I did:
I first flashed Googy-Max kernel, and I got s*** WiFi.
Then I flashed Boeffla and it was solved.
Keeping thread open for the 3G problems.

So I noticed that my 3G wasn't connecting all day on my fascinate. I was running Evil Fascinate 3.3.2 with the nemesis ED01 kernel and the ED01 modem. So I flashed the EC01 modem. No 3G. So I completely wipe everything after a nandroid backup and installed stock DL09. Bam, 3G is back. I allow it to update itself to Froyo OTA. 3G working great. I wipe the phone and install the new Community Rom from scratch. 3G is gone again. I wipe the phone and I flash EF 3.4. 3G still gone.
So I'm back on stock Froyo. I'll do more testing later to see if rooting makes 3G go away again, but at this time I'm suitably freaked out.

Looks like smilepak had the same issue. see here also
Just a suggestion for when I get random bugs that others don't seem to get. I re-download the file i tried to flash, from a different link if i can get it. A lot of times it's a bad download
I think the piece of code in the unknown tethering module is phone home code. I think it's a combination of the phone home not happening, and high 3g usage triggering a disconnect on the other end. I can't prove it yet, but I'm trying to figure out a way to get tcpdumps for wireshark. I know my usage is very high right now.
This seems to be a problem alright..see this thresd: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1051543
Mine is low. For me, going to ed01 started the whole mess. Eve going back to dl09, didn't solve anything. The 3#g shows up and random disconnect every five minutes. Remind me of old modem days of bad handshake and reconnect loop. That is basically what it is doing. Once connected, hell of slow tried speed test and the result was horrible.
Looked through all settings values, factory reset, tried several different radio and from. All no such luck.

I've done some searching but haven't been able to find a solution to this issue.
Basically, the wifi on my phone just 'dies' after a minute or so with any rom or kernel that I flash other than stock. It even dies after flashing CWM or DD/Siyah kernel onto stock rom.
Any ideas on why??? My Captivate was like a tank and stood up to all sorts of flashing abuse and bad flashes. It seems this sgs2 is similar...with the exception of the wifi. On all roms but stock it seems that if I disable the wifi, then re-enable it then it will work for a minute...then die again. very frustrating.
please give me some clues
Thanks,
What router do you have? And what rom's have you tried?
Have you tried using other modems for our phone? Just wondering if maybe your router only likes the stock modem and when you're flashing other roms, it might be changing you to a modem your router disagrees with. It's just a suggestion, trying to think outside the box. There are two sets of modem builds, just make sure you get the right ones for the right roms. Also try flashing the stock KH7 modem back over the custom rom. I'm no developer so WTF do i know. Just trying to help a brother out. Good luck.
I've tried with both an Asus RTN12 as well as an older Airlink 101. Both B/G/N routers which I've tried the stock firmware as well as dd-wrt. They are setup using channel 1, WPAPSK/AES. Behavior is the same whether the router is set to 20Mhz or 40Mhz. Both routers are based off an RaLink chipset. I don't have a router based on Broadcom (yet).
As for Roms....
UnNamed
ICScrewD
ICS'd out
Coz
Serendipity
By modem I assume that's listed as 'baseband' in the about section of the settings. Stock shows KH7. I've flashed the stock kk6 rom and just checked and it remains kh7 (flashed with Odin).
I did an OTA update to kk6 but neglected to check the modem that was installed with it.
Regardless, the wifi worked as designed under both older and newer stock roms.
I'll flash a rom this weekend and then flash modems to see if I can narrow it down. I'm in the process of moving so the next day or two are sort of out of the question
I personally like WPA2 better (especially with dd-wrt), but to each their own. What do you have your wifi-sleep policy set to? (settings>Wireless->Wifi settings>Press menu button->advanced.)

Sorry, it is WPA2PSK, but I've tried both.

If your phone is a Samsung i777 AT&T model and you want to get
your wifi working properly then simply download UnNamed v2.2.1
custom rom which is the very best custom rom currently available
for our phones. The UnNamed rom also has superior battery life.
The UnNamed v2.2.1 Custom Rom is not only the most stable and reliable
custom rom but it's also the most aesthetically pleasing rom which is currently
available for our phones. (i777 AT&T)
Since you have tried so many things already be sure that before flashing
another rom that you go into settings>privacy and select "factory data reset".
Then be 100% sure that you have done a "wipe data/factory" reset using
CWM Recovery before flashing another custom rom.
After you flash the UnNamed rom you will no longer have any wifi problems at all.
Be sure that after flashing the rom you make a nandroid backup of the rom
before you install any apps and or before for who knows what god forsaken reason
you should want to change or flash a different kernel rather than leaving it alone
and use the excellent kernel which the rom comes with.
Good Luck!
You sound like an advertisement for UnNamed
Seriously though...I have tried UnNamed from 2.1.1 to 2.2.1
ICScrewD from 1.4 to 1.6.1, etc.
Wifi completely breaks if I flash the CWM or any kernel over the stock. I've flashed so many roms, kernels, and modems over the past 2 weeks I couldn't even begin to count how many.
Just out of curiosity, have you tried connecting to wifi on a different router, like at work or a friends house...? Have you tried resetting your routers? With all that you've tried, it's just strange that you still can't get a connection.

I intentionally left the baseband separate from my UCKK6+root package because people often want to run a different modem than system.
Flashing a new baseband will do nothing for wifi - everyone who tells you that is too accustomed to HTC phones where Qualcomm AMSS runs EVERYTHING.
It's strange if anything but stock fails for you... UCKK6 wouldn't surprise me because it has all sorts of weird BCM4330 (wifi/bluetooth) problems, but I haven't heard of wifi regressions with my kernel when flashed on UCKH7.

Yeah... It's a little annoying. Yeah, Unnamed is an excellent firmware, but "best" is a matter of taste. It's funny that he's pimping a firmware when the firmware dev almost blocked him for that damn penis-gecko.

Logging into a router at work wont do any good since i work from home. the neareat open wifi network is out of range. I did log in to chic fil a once but unfortunately i dont remember the reaults....my mind was focused on lunch.
I have also reset both routers i have here. tried different firmwares foe the routers as well but got the same result...but both of my routers are based on ralink chipsets. two different ralink chipsets at that, but still made by ralink.

I forgot to mention, before you flash the UnNamed v2.2.1 custom rom
be SURE to flash the ODIN based CWM Recovery kernel, not the
CWM flashable kernel to start with.
(because who knows whiich kernel you have now since you have flashed so many)
Below is the ODIN flash CWM Recovery kernel which you should have
flashed in the first place when coming from the stock to custom rom.

Try resetting the security type in the wireless modem/ router to a personal wireless security and try it out. I had some issues with Wifi but after the resetting of the router, the wifi has been working fine.
In the advanced wifi settings, enable up to channel 14, and set your router to channel 11+40mhz (150mbps) and see if that works. Channel 1 might have too much interference for this phone or something... not sure.
Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't channels beyond 11 for out of US region?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777
From Wikipedia "In the USA, 802.11 operation in the channels 12 and 13 is actually allowed under low powered conditions. "
And its not like the FCC drives around looking for routers broadcasting in those channels, our routers are too weak to broadcast that far. But you're just enabling up to channel 14, doesn't mean that you're going to use it.
WiFi Fail MAC address Bluetooth address Unavailable
I am basically at the same point..WiFi Fail..It will scan and then turn back off. Started off with a stock phone..Followed the customizations steps..No problems reading the Flash Counter..Ran step 2c..It worked Great..passed..had UCKH7 but had no WiFi..Did the wipe data/factory reset as mentioned in other threads and WiFi returned..Then I did the OTA update to UCKK6 and WiFi was still working. So I downloaded Mobile Odin Pro from the market so I could complete step 3a. I had already extracted the zImage from Entropy's 1208 DD and placed it on my sd card. Ran MO on the phone selected the zImage and it ran flawlessly. I am still rooted and have CWM 5.0.2.7..but the WiFi shuts off again shortly after turning it on..So I tried the wipe data/factory reset again but it did not help this time. As far as I can tell everything else works great on the phone, calls, texts and so on...But after looking at some of the about phone settings..I noticed that both the MAC address and Bluetooth Address lines show unavailable...and I think that is why the WiFi shuts back down shortly after turning it on..Now I was going to move onto step 4 and flash UnNamed ROM for practice and then go back to stock using the guide..but I was wondering if I missed something important that caused the WiFi issue
What are the first 6 characters of your mac address? (on stock) At this point... I'm thinking they might have changed the wifi chip or something...

Currently under... Settings..About Phone..Status..Wi-Fi MAC address & Bluetooth address show "Unavailable"
But since I have an access list enabled on my router...I would say my MAC address started with 04:46:65 I'll be able to verify that when I get it back.
I'm going to try another wipe and a different Entrophy Kernel and see what happens. I know I can get WiFi back by going through the steps again and I enjoy all the tinkering..so I just wanted share some of the stuff I was seeing.
I installed a custom rom, everything is working except for the wifi, the wifi wont turn on and connect to the wifi network, is there something wrong with the actual wifi card or is it fixable?

What rom did you use? I suggest going to the thread for the rom and asking other people that are using it. Chances are you may just need to re-wipe your phone and then reflash.
we will definitely need more info than what u gave us
You may have to reflash the custom kernel if you flashed one before flashing the rom. I ran into this issue after I flashed a new version of the rom I'm using on top of the Trinity kernel. Just had to reflash the Trinity kernel again and wifi was working again.
I've been having this issue for a few days now and I haven't been able to solve it myself. I've been using a GB rom for the past few months (this one and it's always been working fine. Still, I wanted to try ICS so I got myself to install CM9 on the device, and while I was at it, updated the baseband to 72. However, since then, I've been unable to connect to Wifi. I can see Wifi networks, but as soon as I try to connect it gets stuck on "Connecting". I tried flashing other ICS roms and restoring the baseband, nothing works. Yesterday I put the rom back that I've been using succesfully over the past months but still no difference.
When I scan for networks, they appear fine. Reception is good, but as soon as it tries to connect the icon changes to the icon for poor reception. It doesn't matter what network I pick. Other devices running Android have no problem connecting.
Does anyone have an idea what might cause this issue? Is there any way to get a logging of the Wifi to see what exactly goes wrong? Any troubleshooting steps I could take? Your help would be very much appreciated
edit: forgot to mention, with CM9 I used the CM9 kernel, with other roms I use Rage kernel
in exactly the same situation as above, except it was all working just fine until a couple of hours ago. now suddenly the router that's sitting right in front of me, giving full signals has turned into a "poor connection"!!!
i'm on CM9 with CM9 kernel and the recommended baseband
especially suspicious is the facebook application that just got updated when it was working fine a couple of hours or so back. hasn't worked since that update

Flashed the Wifi module, did a factory reset and it's connected! Thank you so much :laugh:
my problem solved as well. i didn't read rachit.rc96's reply so i solved it the hard way
was previously on baseband 72, flashed baseband 64 then 72 back again, no luck, went back to gingerbread, rooted then was able to connect to only one of my routers, the other one wasn't even showing up then flashed stock ics rooted that, now able to connect to both routers.
was that a problem with cm9 i wonder. or what?
I am having trouble connecting to my router at home...Idk why this is happening, it was working fine on the stock 4.1.2 rom but ever since I updated to cm11 nightly (tuesday march 10, 2014), I cannot connect to my wifi.....Any help?!?!
why are people overlooking my thread?!?! I really need to fix this

This is a ROM problem (I have this problem too) so don't worry about your device. I'd recommend switching to ParanoidAndroid (where WiFi works) and connecting to your network, then flashing back to CM11. If you care about data then make a Nandroid backup and after reinstalling CM do advanced restore and just restore data.
Step-by-step:
1. Download PA 4.4.2 (in the Original Android Development forums for this device)
2. Reboot into recovery
3. Full backup
4. Wipe, and install PA as per the instructions on the original post in the PA thread
5. Boot into PA, set up, connect to WiFi
6. Boot into recovery
7. Install CM11 but don't wipe. This is a little risky but mostly you shouldn't have a problem, since you haven't done anything on PA . 99% of the time you can restore to a backup if anything goes wrong.
8. (Optional) In the recovery choose advanced restore and restore data ONLY. this will restore your original apps and shouldn't cause any problems since the apps are originally from the same CM11 environment.
Hope I helped.
I having wifi problem with cm11 and PA too. I've flashed many radio file but it didnt work. i can connect to wifi after flashed radio but it stop download after a while, althought it still connect to wifi

If this is your problem, and flashing a radio works for a while, then try more radios. There are a few lists of hybrid radios in the general area for the e970. Though, I doubt this is a radio problem as when the stock ROM is flashed WiFi works with pretty much any radio, so I find it somewhat weird that using a new radio fixes the issue for you.

Same is happening with me(CM11 M4)
when i turn on the wifi it scans n shows all the available networks.
when i select mine to connect, as usual it asks password.
after entering password; all that happens is it shows "saved" in wifi list.
nothing else happens.
i have tried connecting all types of wifi networks.
Also on the same line, i cant start the Wifi hotspot as well
after clicking on Portable hotspot it keeps on showing "Turning hotspot on..." for infinity.
I was also having wifi issues. For me, it was because my phone still had the ICS radios. Once I flashed the JB radios everything started working great. maybe that is your issue?
