Hi,
I have a prohpet which originally had the following firmwares etc:

IPL: 2.10
SPL: 2.10.0000
GSM: 02.07.20
OS: 2.10.7.27 NOR (Norwegian)

After following the instructions on how to first downgrade to wm5 (NoVendorId) and then upgrade to wm6 (I use pdaviet 4.0.0.4) my wifi stopped working. Nothing comes up in the list. Yes, I did do a hard reset, and yes I can access the wlan from my other phone. It didn't even work in the wm5 novendor version. Everything else seems to be working fine. Does anyone know what the problem can be? I even installed WifiFofum (http://www.aspecto-software.com/rw/applications/wififofum/) but that did not work either.

I would appreciate any help...

The new firmware etc is now:
IPL: 2.10
SPL: 2.20.0000
GSM: 2.61.21
OS: 4.0.0.4 PDAViet

when i was on PDAViet 4.0.0.0.4,i noticed that WiFi didn't turn on when i pressed the comm manager button... Instead,it turned 1-2 minutes later by itself.... So i went back to PDAViet 4.0.0.0.3a...

OK, I will try to flash it with 4.0.0.3a later today.
BTW, how did you notice that wifi did not get turned on?

I think I have tried every possible rom now, and still no go on getting wlan/wifi to work. It just wont search or find any networks. If someone has the same problem or a solution, please let me know.

one solution could be to upgrade to radio 2.69 ¿?. well. you can try, at least this upgrade isn't so "destructive" as the ones you used previously

I tried that, and didn't work. Atlast I tried the AKU rom, and it bricked my rom. Now when it starts the radio does not show, and the os wont start. Tried to flash back with no luck.

Obviously, you have a phone got bad WiFi hardware if you said you couldn't get it working under WM5.

Look at it this way, these WM6 ROMs have come a long way. They still get bugs here and there, but if you still get one consistance WiFi problem, most likely is not the ROM causing it. You are hitting your head against a brick wall.
