Hi all! I've recently installed cyanogenmod (probably 4 weeks now), and I am loving it.
Everything seems to be working fine, then a few days ago my Wifi couldn't detect networks anymore.
I tried rebooting and to no avail.
Any advice would be most appreciated!
Thanks!
If it is only having problems with one Wifi network, chances are it's the network. (reset password/restart router/change channel the routeris on/or encryption)
If it happens with several wifi networks. Back everything up and reflash with that ROM again.
EDIT: Read this too

You can try install everything again or try install a file wifi fix...
do you have a link for the wifi fix?
Hi all thanks for your help,
Australian user here on virgin.
Basically when I first got the handset I flashed and used villain rom... everything worked fine for a week or two.
Then the wifi just stopped working.. it wouldn't turn on. I would enable it.. it would scan.. scan wouldn't work and the icon would turn off.
and I can't wifi hotspot my 3g connection it just says error.
The problem seemingly went away at random :S:S:S and now has arisen again.
I've tried using batista rom and that didn't help.
Tried searching couldn't find any solutions ((
ok i happen to have this issue last month and i spent 2 damn days to check everything.. but end up it's hardware problem.. you turn on your wifi it will scan a while but then shut off by itself right? if that so i really confirm you need to send back to retail shop.. before that you need to do a nandroid backup and flash back to original rom ( unroot )
trust me man it's the motherboard problem.. check this link for how to unroot..

p.s. you need to buy a usb jig to clear the binary.
hope this help
Hi there =)
I've a very puzzling problem with my phone ..
it's started two days ago .. I was reading my mail then suddenly the wifi turned off and start again, but it stopped at 'Obtaining IP address...'
I thought maybe it's router problem, so i restart the router but still the same problem .. then I turned off the phone and took off the battery and tried again .. nothing
then I changed the router to another one .. but still the same thing
removed the password from the router, tried IP address,
I tried 3 applications : FXR WiFi fix and rescue, Fix My WiFi, WiFi Fixer
but nothing worked ..
I've root, so I flashed the original kernel, then the last thing I tried is Factory reset
wiped all the data and cashed .. but none of it helped
I'm using the ROM JPKJ2 2.3.5
any suggestions that may help ?!!!
happens to me at times...
do you have more than one router/switch in your house?
Install wifi analyer (or equivalent) and check which channel your router is using..
is there any overlap with say your neighbours router?
try changing the radio channel on your router or it is has a smart channel switching setting enable it.

it's not a router issue .. I went to a friend's house and tried to connect to his router but it's the same thing .. stuck with 'Obtaining IP address...'
my flat-mate also have SGS2 but the wifi works good with him, I also tried the tethering from his phone to mine .. and it didn't work =/
thanks for your reply =)
Flash a different modem not kernel first .
jje
I just flashed the entire rom .. and it worked =D
but still want to know what caused the problem !! =/
thank you guys =)
How weird????
I experienced the same thing last night, in the troubleshooting that I have done, the WiFi would stop connecting after I tried installing the Roboto Font using Font Installer, it first occurred when I upgraded to KK5 from KJ3, I didn't like the font so I went ahead customizing my device to my usual standards then realized that the WiFi was not connecting, it was stuck on Obtaining IP Address.
I decided to factory reset, nothing, so I flashed back to KJ3 and it was working again, I was relieved, so I installed Jkays Mods and also the Roboto font and Speedmod Kernel, woke up in the morning to the WiFi not connecting again, so I flashed KJ3 with Odin and it connected, I flashed CF Root KJ3 and it was still working, I installed Jkays Mods and it was still working and when I installed the font using the app, it stopped working again, so I flashed KJ3 through Odin again, then flashed CF root and it was still working, this time I used font installer to install Roboto font before Jkays Mods and again my Wifi was stuck at obtaining IP address.
So I flashed KJ3 again and it was working, then CF Root and Jkays Mods and all is well so far, but I fear that it can happen again as I have no idea what is really causing it, and I can't make the connection between the app Font Installer installing the Roboto font and my WiFi being borked...
What were you doing exactly before it stopped connecting....
there's something wrong !!!
the first time I had the problem I was just reading an email from my teacher using Gmail, nothing weird ... now after I solved the problem by flashing the rom I start restoring my apps using My Backup Pro, then i restart the phone and the problem return !!!!
there isn't any new app, all the apps was working well without causing ay problem.
so i flashed the rom again without wiping any data .. my apps still there and the problem solved !!!!
Thus far, it seems the issue for me was the Font installer, I still don't think that I am in the clear, so I would use my phone normally, maybe something will reveal itself with patience
I will keep the variables to a minimum, use the phone normally and finish installing all of my apps, if my phone continues to work okay, I will try a custom kernel and so on and so on, it is good to know that the issue goes away when a stock ROM is flashed though, hopefully that will not change

I'm having the exact same problem with Cyanogenmod 7.1.0 stable. I downloaded daily 116 but found that if I just reflashed the 7.1.0 .zip the wifi would start DHCP association negotiation successfully again.
The problem for many seems to be related to updating busybox installer by Stericson
Just flash over the original rom and don't update busybox

it happened again, but this time I only flashed the modem file from the stock ROM and it worked =)
you don't have to flash the entire ROM

What kind of security is your wifi modem is having? is it wps smthng lk that? Did you tried with different wifi hotspots?
it doesnt have any security, i disable it
The thing is that it doesn even recognize that there is a wifi signal, it just turn off automatically before without detecting any wifi signal, i tried at work and the same thing happened
(sorry if i misspelled a lot of words jejeje)
try to flash another ROM and see if it works...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA premium app
i restored the backup i made with cwm and everything works fine now (touch x-power rom), and if i reinstall check rom the wifi goes out again, it seems it deletes something that leaves me with no wifi mac adress (i searched in about the phone, turning on and of wifi and every time it said not available)
Bizarre...
im getting the same thing, did anyone find a solution?
had this same exact issue.. it is a hardware problem.. so changing rom, kernel or fw wont help you at all... only solution is going to samsung service center.. my problem was solved in 3 days..so many s2 users have this problem..
take a look at these threads...

There are a lot of problems with KK5 and wifi. If you update Busybox it borks it completely. I can't connect to my 5Ghz home wifi but the 2.4 Ghz works fine. I also can't connect to some wifi that uses WEP. All works fine with previous builds. I have seen threads that suggest replacing the wpa_suplicant file from Android 2.3.5 fixes the problem.
I've searched through the threads but have found no answers, so hopefully someone here can help. I have an Att one x plus. I downloaded the Elegancia 4.8.0 rom several months ago, which is still working great. It was the first rom I installed. My problem is if I try to update to newest version or even try to install different rom all together everything works and installs but wifi wont turn on. In the the settings it just stays wifi turning on and then errors out. Ive turned off fast boot, tried different rom updates and different roms with same result. I do a restore to original Elegancia and all is good.
Sorry if this has been discussed, I couldnt find it and thanks in advance for any help...
you mean to sy that your wifi did work on the old elegancia? 4.8.0? and the latest i suppose 5.7.0 doesnt allow wifi to work?
Thats correct. The original install works fine. Now any rom change or update, wifi will never turn on. Just says turning on.
well i have the same problem was using ViperXL2.0.0 on at&t sim when i switched it to another sim the wifi doesnt work.i am still looking into the solution. Besides this do you still have the link to the place where you downloaded this rom?
flash the boot.img
