[Q] 3g xoom w/ Wifi broken

[idkwhothatis123]

No idea what happened. Wifi worked great last night, woke up this morning and stuck in turning on/error loop. Words of advice?

Did you root/or apply one of the custom BCmXXXX.to wireless firmware? Any time recently?

Try putting it in Airplane mode then back out.

Try a cold boot by holding power and Vol up.

Already did that, first things I've tried. I've flashed new boot.imgs and push the corresponding bcm files. I can't figure it out. I may have to relock the unlock... grr I hate not having cust recovery lol. Darn you google!

Download the stock Wifi from the thread here in the Developers forum and copy that in using ADB push then reboot.

Moved to proper section.

I'm having the same problem after unlocking the Xoom after the update for flash compatibility. I downloaded the bcmxxxx.ko file again and pushed it to my Xoom, rebooted, and still having wifi error.

 

[idkwhothatis123]

yeah flashed back to stock, relocked and everything. still no wifi. f*ck.

 

[idkwhothatis123]

Any ideas?

i read a post where someone manually dropped the driver with file explore manually or the like rather than push it to get wifi back up. I poked around mine a bit but my cmd line linux is weak still. I found a wpa supply. File under system/etc/wifi and saw its attributes were read only. Creation date 2/8/11, using current tiamat kernel and drivers if that helps.

Same problem but fixed it.

I am not the Guru that the rest of you are, so I am not sure how much help I can be. I had this same problem when trying to root my non-3G Xoom, but I was able to fix it. Although I was able to fix it, I am not sure exactly what I did. I know I was trying to use the One Click Root method, and I think I accidentally flashed some 3G files on it which is what killed the WiFi.

I downloaded the xoomwifiroot and followed the Tiamat rooting process, but I also tried the OneClickRoot again. I wish I was paying more attention when I fixed it, but I was at work so I was doing other things at the same time. All I can say is you probably used one of the 3G files instead of the WiFi-Only files. Try the rooting process over and make sure you have the WiFi-Only files.

I never touched wifi only stuff. I'm on Verizon's 3g xoom. Can someone with a 3g xoom pull there /system/etc/wifi and /system/lib/modules folder for me? i am on tiamats 1.1.5

Having you tried resetting the router you're using and the modem. This usually solves 99% of my wifi problems. I have the 3g model also.

Yes. Plus I live in an apartment where I can usually see five to six connections. I see none.
