Unable to start Wi-Fi
 

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?

rooted phone? pre or post OTA? roms?when did this start? anything you can think of you recently installed? ..etc. need more info.

Re: Unable to start Wi-Fi
 

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.

Re: Unable to start Wi-Fi
 

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.

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?

Re: Unable to start Wi-Fi
 

that would be the easiest method.

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 :laughing6:

Re: Unable to start Wi-Fi
 

Agreed, although I've been trying to ride out the stock ROM for everything that it's worth until I've had enough or begin to have problems with it! Would like a ROM that has cameras working (and all of the others items.. Wi-Fi, Tethering, etc... - just not sure which one to use)

Re: Unable to start Wi-Fi
 

i did part 1 and 2 of the tutorial sticked above. then went and did this:

doing those things, you end up w/ a stock rom, fully rooted, and 1.47 ota installed with everything working.

then just need to install the free wifi tethering app, or titanium backup to remove apps (sprint nfl/nascar, etc)
