WIFI UH OH (driver is not loaded)

[pychobj2001]

I was updating my freinds dash, he had official rom on it, i went to rose rom v1.7a and also kavana final and some others and then i went back to latest t-mobile official rom 1.16 something, and all of them now say "drivers is not loaded" when you go to look at the wifi status, I loaded the WM2005 SDIO wifi drivers cab and also got a fresh copy of wifiinit.exe in the windows folder and then put the shortcut to it in the startup folder....i now have it running the rose v1.7a, i am lost, i'm on the phone now with a clueless pda expert at t-mobile.

still no solution to this problem, my friend might have to reflash back to original and do warranty exchange...i don't know what went wrong...he needs a new phone anyways...or maybe get the updated dash

wifiinit.lnk must be in the windows startup folder, or the drivers wont load :rolleyes: this has been covered and a forum search would have shown you that

They are in there, the wifiinit.ink is in startup and the wifiinit.exe is in the windows folder, still no luck...reflashed to original rom (even that didn't work), i'm hoping there is a cab that can reload the driver...but only found SDIO wifi driver cab..those don't work....:(

The drivers are included in every ROM I have ever flashed, loading them comes from the .lnk file. So unless you are getting an error that the drivers do not exist or have failed they are their. It is possible your .lnk file is pointing to the wrong location

no, becuase i deleted the .ink, copied the .exe from the windows dir and pasted a shortcut of it in the startup folder.....i don't have the dash now..my friend does...I think he should go to the g1, or just grab a 1yr replacement one, but he doesn't want a refurb which is ussaully what they give u

why would you move the exe? How did you make a shortcut if you moved the exe? The G1 sux (sorry to those that think otherwise but it does). You only get a refurb if you dont ask for a new replacement. I always get new, after all I bought a new device not a refurb didnt I?

Anyway, it sounds like you created a bad shortcut for wifi and thats your issue

Make a new link file, use total commander to do it or if you need I can upload one for you

I have the same problem, the WIFIinit.lnk is in the startup folder, and WIFI is not working. Any help?

Strange, the problem was due to a defective battery! Seems that when I try to switch on WIFI and SD, the battery level goes down in a way that the OS does not load the drivers. Charged the battery to 100%, and rebooted, everything works normally.

if you have a drivers problem, should try with this...i had the same in my dash...."drivers not loaded"...i put this files on the phone and wifi works again.

I just got my dash. I upgraded it to the kavanna but then i wanted to give the vanilla version a try since i needed a cleaner version it had a picture of the tmobile shadow but i thought it would be ok since the folder tittle said excalibur. It gave me and error at 3 % saying that the iimage was the incorrect size. Then it started up with kavanna but there was no wifi option. Then i downgraded to wm6 standard but my wifi wont start. When i check the settings it tells me that the driver is not loaded. Ive been looking around in this forum for 2 days. All i see is people saying that this topic has been covered already. I tried the wininit.ink and exe thing and no success. I hard reseted and nothing. I tried different roms and the official tmobile but nothing seems to work. Is there a way to start from scratch???i just want to stick with the official tmobile rom. Please help meee.

Im running vista ultimate

the official tmobile rom latest version
