[Q] Wifi 'stuck at turning on' in Stock 4.1.2 JB

[Nikorasu]

After flashing one of the custom roms I realised that my Wifi is stuck in "Wifi turning on mode" without a mac address and it doesn't allow me to turn off nor will it start searching for networks. I thought it's a rom problem so I fastboot to stock 4.1.2 retail british (on my retail asia), but the problem persists. To make the matter worse, the only way to root it is to have wifi enabled.

I did a search and understood that for RAZR, wifi and bluetooth is 1 chip, which means if it's a hardware failure, the bluetooth shouldn't work as well, but it works flawlessly. Almost giving up and continue to use my RAZR as a stock/non-wifi/non-rooted phone, the wifi suddenly worked one morning and I quickly rushed to root it, installed BMM and flashed a 2nd system custom rom. :victory:

Funny thing is, on every reboot, wifi still doesn't work in stock rom but a 4.2.2 custom rom's wifi (liquidsmooth and pac) works flawlessly everytime. Strangely, I've not heard of other Razr users having this problem: Nexus users encounter this, but it was solved with a firmware update. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1554150

I still want to use stock rom because I do use my razr with a lapdock and with my tv, so I would appreciate any help to solve this problem. I have also tried deleting/renaming wpa_supplicant.conf from system/etc/wifi but I think that only works if the wifi can't connect to a router properly.

I was also wondering if it's possible to install 4.2.2 wifi "drivers" in the stock 4.1.2 rom. I seriously doubt Motorola is going to release any more firmware updates for XT910/912.

I've attached a screenshot of the error in Android SDK Dalvik Debug Monitor. I think this is a difficult problem to solve but I hope a genius can help me.

This may work..try entering these commands in a terminal emulator on your phone:

Su
Wifical.sh


Please leave a thanks if I helped you!

Doesn't work. Any idea what the error means though?

I don't have experience working with non-USA phones, I will ask a couple friends and see what I can come up with.

I have flashed retail uk too on my razr and since then wifi keeps losing the signal for 2-3 seconds then all comes back to normal.

Try deleting wpa_supplicant.conf from system/etc/wifi then reboot. Your system will create a new one. Rename it if you're afraid.

YOU MADE MY DAY.
LiquidSmooth suddenly got wifi stuck. I tried rebooting, wiping caches, playing with airplane mode, rebooting with airplane mode on, renaming wpa_supplicant... The wifi calibration script you said WORKED.
Thanks a lot. http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Hmmm. I speak from my experience in MIUI ICS, as well as JB 4.2.2 liquidsmooth now, so this may or may not work.

Firstly, I would advise you to try rebooting, fixing permissions in your custom recovery (such as BMM) and then trying out the wifical.sh again. It usually is the problem on JB WIFI issues.
Since it didnt show favourable results before, I shall tell you about another way that I learnt from my experience at ICS.

Use a root explorer to navigate to: /data/misc/dhcp and delete whatever is in there, i.e. all the files present over there. Reboot your phone after that and maybe it will work...

If it doesn't then well, I'm terribly sorry. Thanks!

 

[Nfahajan]

I am having the same problem??Can anyone please tell who to get the wifi on??

Liquidsmooth devs confirmed this issue and the wifical solution. The problem occurs in v2.7 and will be solved in future releases.

Thanks, tried what you said, but not working. There's no need to be sorry, btw.

BMM-> fix permissions
wifical.sh gave the same error:

unable to open file system/etc/wifi/TQS_D_1.7.ini (no such file or dir)
failed to read ini file system/etc/wifi/TQS_D_1.7.ini
Calibration not complete. Removing half-baked nvs

Navigated to /data/misc/dhcp, no files in there.

Mine is a stock JB problem. All other JB 4.2.2's wifi worked fine.

Glad my thread helped others though. :highfive:

I tried the wifical.sh fix, but I am getting the following error in terminal emulator:
"rm failed for /system/ect/firmware/ti-connectivity/wl1271-nvs.bin, No such file or directory Unable to open file /system/ect/wifi/TQS_D_1.7.ini (No such file or directory) Failed to read ini file /system/ect/wifi/TQS_D_1.7.ini Calibration not complete. Removing half-baked nvs"

I am on stock, FXZed back, tried installing an AOKP port on it and nothing seems to work. Thinking about trying to install either Liquid or CM since this is a fix that is known to work. But I am getting very frustrated by this since I am basically just trying to make sure that it is working so that I can just sell the damn thing.

Any other help would be greatly appreciated
