Unable to start Wi-Fi

[wbchristmas]

When I go to Wireless & Networks to enable Wi-Fi whenever I'm in a Wi-Fi area, the phone says "Unable to start Wi-Fi". Anyone know why?

Oops.. Sorry... Phone isn't rooted, post major OTA (the original OTA before it was yanked by HTC/Sprint and then rereleased. No wi-fi tethering apps.

you did the FIRST ota that was bricking phones? that could be the cause.

i believe there is a way to go to pre-ota status, then do the newer OTA.
i think you would have to use the 1.47 stock file. run the exe on your computer w/ evo plugged in to go back to stock. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=121961

hopefully someone can chime in w/ more help on this issue and using the stock RUU, since i have not used it at all.

I was thinking about that a few minutes ago.. I would do the same thing if I had issues with my TP2.. reinstall stock rom via PC...

I would like to hear more input about it as well.

if your going to do all that, just root the phone

Yes, I did the first OTA, not knowing at the time that phones were being bricked. My phone didn't brick, but now it appears that the Wi-Fi may have been affected.


EDIT: After reading the post on XDA, do I need to get my phone returned?

UPDATE:

I flashed the 1.47 ROM from here http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=121961 and all seems to be working again.

Thanks for the help guys!
