wifi error

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Phone (Int/AT&T/etc.):atnt
Radio:N_0.177.30p
Hacks/Mods used:cm7.1.0 b n olympus 
and beta 1
Kernel:2.6.32.39-mb860-cm7-g54722f1
root@LAPTOP #4

What is the expected behavior
wifi should turn on and work properly.

What is the actual behavior?

whenever i hit wifi it says turning on and about 20 seconds later says error. i 
tried almost all the possible fixes over google and different forums such as 
reboot reflashing rom, factory reset, clearing caches and dalvichk (ignore the 
spelling please) and even restoring back to stock gingerbread where it didnt 
work either..i kinda gave up but this is my last hope.
i am pretty sure its not a hardware issue as a lot of people encountered it 
with different android devices yet mostly were running cm7. it reboots on its 
own too and often the screen turns black and dont respond until i pull the 
batterey its getting worse 
immediate attention required

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.no idea
2.
3.

Can you reproduce this problem after a complete wipe/factory reset? (do not
restore any apps or settings when testing)
yes

Possible workarounds:
didnt find any

When wifi says error there's 99% chance your hardware is bad. And when it 
doesn't work on stock either it's 100% sure. I bet your bluetooth fails too and 
you haven't noticed yet. Take your phone to warranty or live with the issue, 
there's nothing that can be done software wise.

what about auto reboot and screen turning black and other minor bugs.
so can you help me with unrooting and relocking the bootloader. i know thats 
not your job but please can you help me with it.

The bootloader cannot be relocked. Just wipe and flash a fruitcake, ask on XDA 
for more help.

Can anyone supply a dmesg log right after enabling wifi?

its not a hardware issue.
im in some boat,having the same problem after flashing the darside 3.2.0 rom.
at 1st was on 4.5.91 stock, radio 1.0.77.30p, krn 2.6.32.9-00001.....#2;
ulocked bootloader, cwm 5.0.27; than flashed to 4.5.133 via cwm, perfect.., 
than flashed radio 77.36p, perfect.., tryed homebase 4with upd to 5,everything 
is ok, but after going from darkside to 4.5.133 that issue,... then nothing 
helps,going back to stock via fastboot, or other roms & krnels via cwm doesnt 
bring any result.
had viewed dmesg & giving it to you.

I don't think this issue should be simply marked invalid. I have the same wifi 
issue, but bluetooth works fine and my wifi was working a couple of days ago.
If I clear all caches and reboot my wifi will connect and authenticate, but no 
traffic will actually pass over the connection. The phone will tell me "no 
connection" until I turn off wifi. 
It will keep connecting for a few cycles and then it will start displaying 
"Error" like reported above.

Is there a log we can provide for some more info for you to go on?

Ok so i got my phone replaced and i have decided not to screw around with it 
anymore let me make this point clear i was watchin a video on youtube and 
all.of a sudden my wifi crashed and turned off i got to the wifi section and 
freaked out cuz it said ERROR i quickly turned ma phone off and then back on 
and it started working fine and nothing happened since then...( 2 days)

I'm having the same error with the wifi and the bluetooth, the error only 
happens with this ROM, it doesn't happen with the stock firmware or the 
GingerMod ROM.

Could you please, find a solution?

Guillermo

I've been checking in many forums and everyone started having this issue when 
they installed CM7, any ideas?

Same issue here.  Wifi says error, BT bootloops.  Had CM7.  Went back to stock, 
rerooter with stock motoblur.  Tried CM7 again, just got work.  Really 
frustrating.  CM7 is causing lots of problems for me. Any insight into this 
issue would be great....Thanks

I don't believe it's a hardware issue either.  I have been able to use fix 
permissions in CWM and gotten wifi to work for a few minutes.  Then error.  
Going back to stock, unrooted right now.  hope it works.  I love this phone, 
but no wifi or BT is a deal breaker.

This is happening with me too. CM7 upgraded from gingerblur (previously stocK). 
I've tried nightlies, BA2TF with several kernels including:

Atrix-CM7-Kernel-0.2.0-ext4-1.0GHz.zip
Atrix-CM7-Kernel-023r-ext4-1.30GHz.zip
Ba2tf-olympus... ROM I'm using

AND just upgraded from the .15 whatever (old) ATT radio to an admittedly 
unsupported but very fast HUSPA version of the radio N_01.87.00R. I need this 
wifi to work, and the wifi hotspot to work is that so hard? Do not mark this as 
BS or whatever. I seriously doubt this is an actual hardware issue as I have 
been able to make a working AndroidAP one time...

Oh, also, if it is NOT a cm7 issue or hardware issue, will some developer 
please contact me with information that I can run with to motorola? I will make 
them fix this issue if it is their fault, trust me. We will get to the bottom 
of this bug I'm tired of looking at it, working around it, and thinking about 
it.

Its not one of those easy bugs we might have to spend nights on it I am a noob 
and when I had theism issue I spend around three months flashing all sorts of 
roms and going back and forth I even otaed twice nothing worked that way I am 
sure its not a hardware issue because it sometimes turned on and even worked 
but then back to that issue but it surely has a hardware connection 

Original comment by faixa...@gmail.com on 31 Jan 2012 at 6:59

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Still fairly certain it's not a hardware issue because the AP always worked.
Flashing a new ROM over made no difference but performing a complete fastboot 
wipe and then flashing a new (blur-based) ROM and my radio works flawlessly 
again. .
(I did however not flash a new radio)

Note sure what 1.87 radio translates to, but 30P and 36P work just fine with 
wifi, at least for me. 30P contains random reboots when data connectivity is 
lost, while 36P doesnt

I have the same issues described above.  I'm running 4.5.91.

Hi, I just got the same problem after upgrading to CM7, went flash back to 
4.5.141 from ATT and is the same, Wifi worked for 2 minutes on first boot, then 
got the same error, I think should be something on wifi drivers, is there a 
site where I can find this, all the links on the pages link to megaupload links 
so couldn't find anything different to try

I have the same issue.  Why do WE all know about this problem about the wi-fi 
suddenly refusing to turn on ... and MOTOROLA doesn't?  Why does Motorola not 
figure this out and tell their tech support people how to fix it?

Same issue. Tried installing a different driver. Nothing happening there. 
Happened for me while listening to pandora with bt running and cutting 
intermittently. Im using moto bt as well. Bout to throw it on the wall and see 
if it works then!

Sorry for bad English!
Same situation here... at&t on 2.3.4 android, 4.5.91 version... just rooted 
year ago...
Worked fine till couple days ago, then start with described problems like all 
others!
I unsolder cmos battery from board, check voltage, was on 2.5v instead 3v.
I found another one (witch is really hard to find original one) from another 
moto phone and replace it! Still same situation! New battery doesn't help!
Battery is FDK ml414ru.. 4.8 mm wide 3v lithium rechargable battery!
Phone after restarting procedure can start both wifi and bluetooth but gonna 
work till first command from battery power saver system options to turn off 
data connection(after 15 min)... if that happens phone will be stacked again in 
wifi error... also bluetooth wouldn't work...
if you stacked in boot loop will only help battery disconnection from board... 
but not permanently!!!
I am trying different combination of wifi power options!
If you force wifi card to stay always on, on performance battery mode, wifi 
will work normally!!! Even when I used juice defender to switch on and off wifi 
with screen lock, wifi works normally!
Is it possible that all phones got some driver or some file OTA witch is couse 
that problems with huge number of atrix devices ???
So wifi will work always after disconect small cmos battery from board! For me 
thats mean that this is no hardware problem!
Best regards from Serbia!
