First of all your patch amazing solved my problem
I am on viper s 5.0.1

I can see this clearly through windows app called connectify(wich make laptop as hot spot) ! i see my phone wifi disconnect from it ! until i wakeup the phone it reconnect again ! other phones/ tablets still connect :/
I searched for solution .. I found same issue in one X forum and they give a solution with recompiling setting.apk modification on some lines in the following link ... am sorry i don't know how to do it myself

Not Working for new ROMs

WiFi COUNRTY PROBLEM solving

Hello!
We, who did buy phones from other countries using internet shopping,
instead of joy face the problem of WiFi-service functioning.
WiFi scan not works or shows network; but there is written NOT IN RANGE..

Problem resides in new WifiCountryCode, which phone recieves from our SIM-card.
But this new WifiCountryCode is not known for internal WiFi-program,
so it does not know which WiFi rules use.

During 2 mounth of tries I found following 3 ways to solve:

1. ARHD7.3 ROM has not THIS WiFi problem! Bravo!
(sorry, didn't check previous versions).

2. program WiFi Fix by Fardjad.
This program updates WiFi Country Code on boot and afterwards.
For most ICS roms it works good, for AOSP roms less good.
Requires: before SHUTDOWN or REBOOT WiFi should be turned off.
Slightly annoying.
On AOSP roms first WiFi TURN ON stucks;
needs 1-2 minutes to TURN OFF stucked WiFi and then second TURN ON works.
Greatly annoying!

Current version is WiFix Manager V1.32;
Author promised to solve this problem.

3. in AOSP CM10.1, before starting WiFi, goto
System settings > WiFi > Advanced > WiFi region code >>
and if here is nothing selected (your country not in list), press United States (or Europe?),
then get back from this Advanced menu and only now TURN ON WiFi.
Wifi scan now should work.
...Until next restart....
also before SHUTDOWN or REBOOT you should turn off WiFi to prevent stuck on start..

(this setting is not available in SuperXE 4.2.2 build_6)


********************************************
Buttt.. seems I found solve before WiFix author, YESS!
How this happened:

greatly annoyed, I learned about USB-debugging and Logcats and ApkTool.
here is lines from Logcat (XX replaces new country code):

D/MccTable( 636): updateMccMncConfiguration: mcc=..., mnc=..
D/MccTable( 636): locale set to null_XX
D/MccTable( 636): WIFI_COUNTRY_CODE set to XX
I/WifiService( 445): WifiService trying to set country code to XX with persist set to true

Where is this MccTable? not found such file..
Web search gives me this:

https://android.googlesource.com/pl.../com/android/internal/telephony/MccTable.java

this IS source, where is written updateMccMncConfiguration code from line 169 to 208.
and actually we need to disable these lines:

189            if (mcc != 0) {
190                setTimezoneFromMccIfNeeded(context, mcc);
191                setLocaleFromMccIfNeeded(context, mcc);
192                setWifiCountryCodeFromMcc(context, mcc);
193            }

Because Timezone you can setup in settings > Date& Time
and LOCAL parameters are set in most roms in file "/system/build.prop":

 ro.product.locale.language=en
 ro.product.locale.region=US

(if not, make it..)

Alternate "mild" edition:
you can disable only line setWifiCountryCodeFromMcc(context, mcc);
and live rest 2 updater lines.

now let me guess, this program code should be inside of some JAR file..
exactly in "/system/framework/telephony-common.jar"

I did decompile this file with ApkTool:

 apktool d telephony-common.jar

it made output as folder "telephony-common.jar.out" and there is file:
"telephony-common.jar.out/smali/com/android/internal/telephony/MccTable.smali"
and inside are above mentioned lines:

   .line 189
    if-eqz v2, :cond_0

    .line 190
    invoke-static {p0, v2}, Lcom/android/internal/telephony/MccTable;->setTimezoneFromMccIfNeeded(Landroid/content/Context;I)V

    .line 191
    invoke-static {p0, v2}, Lcom/android/internal/telephony/MccTable;->setLocaleFromMccIfNeeded(Landroid/content/Context;I)V

    .line 192
    invoke-static {p0, v2}, Lcom/android/internal/telephony/MccTable;->setWifiCountryCodeFromMcc(Landroid/content/Context;I)V

    .line 195
    :cond_0

lets gently change line 189:

    .line 189
    goto :cond_0

so program will jump over unwanted updates!
now recompile back "telephony-common.jar" with command:

 apktool b -f -d telephony-common.jar.out

and in folder "telephony-common.jar.out/dist" you will find it out.
from original file do copy of directory "META-INF" in new file with any archive manager.

now we should put "telephony-common.jar" in phone.
for this we need:
ROOT access,
with ES_file_manager >Tools >Root Explorer >Mount R/W > mount /system RW,
replace telephony-common.jar and set proper file attributes (-rw-r--r-),
mount /system R
and afterwards do REBOOT.
on new BOOT there will be "Android updates" files ...

AND WiFi problems HAVE GONE!!
Now you even can do SHUTDOWN or REBOOT with TURNED ON WiFi
AND WiFi will connect before SIM card joins GSM network!!!


Tools used:
ADB
JDK
ApkTool
ES file manager
Notepad+ or Edit+

*************
For SuperXE 4.2.2 build_6 (MD5=2DBDDB534A7CA6DE627EF75FCE3E7CF0)
more steps reqiured.
SuperXE has other "telephony-common.jar" MD5=C8917C386BA7FD24A0203058BFDC17F5,
so we again perform above steps for patch;
See attached file "SUXE_patched_telephony-common.jar"

now we should replace "telephony-common.jar" in phone.

with ES_file_manager >Tools >Root Explorer >Mount R/W > mount /system RW,
replace telephony-common.jar and set proper file attributes (-rw-r--r-),

Extra step 1
click on "/system/build.prop" and open in ES Note Editor;
seek line
ro.product.locale.region=GB
and change GB to US; confirm OK for save file.
mount /system R

Extra step 2
because of first boots, in Settings database is written our country code,
which should be US.
for this: install "Sqlite Editor", run, grant ROOT access. after program finds
& lists databases, look for & open "Settings Storage" > settings.db > global:
find "wifi_country_code", select it and press menu button > Edit Record;
change value to US and press "save"

if this step is too hard for you, from "wipe data, cache, dalvik"... but many
other stuff will be erased..

Now do REBOOT.
on new BOOT there will be "Android updates" files ...

*************
for VIPERS roms you should patch framework2.jar

then

Extra step 1
click on "/system/build.prop" and open in ES Note Editor;
add line
ro.product.locale.region=US
confirm OK for save file.

Extra step 2
because of first boots, in Settings database is written our country code,
which should be US.
for this: install "Sqlite Editor", run, grant ROOT access. after program finds
& lists databases, look for & open "Settings Storage" > settings.db > global:
find "wifi_country_code", select it and press menu button > Edit Record;
change value to US and press "save"

if this step is too hard for you, from "wipe data, cache, dalvik"... but many
other stuff will be erased..

Now do REBOOT.

HTCZ715E!

Tried on New JellyBean Roms and not working for ASIA Region
Can you guide some more about this issue?
WiFix, wificodes, etc all are temporary
need permanent fix

 

[dramon]

It works, thank you!
I have a HTC first and I modified it as per your post.

Now with wifi switched on and rebooting the wifi works.

But when you toggle wifi off and on it stops working. Also it doesn't work when you reboot when wifi is off.

Any suggestions?

only you have to do is to extract the files from the ViperSC2_5-1-0_patch.zip to newfolder using winrar ... then open Viper5.1.0.zip
1- first copy framwork2 form extracted folder and go to /system/framwork in Viper5.1.0.zip and past it here ! it well ask for replace press accept .
2- first copy build.prob form extracted folder and go to /system in Viper5.1.0.zip and past it here ! it well ask for replace press accept

finally copy this modified rom "Viper5.1.0.zip " to sd card and install it ... the normal way ... the wifi well work
