VZW htc xv6800 wifi problem

I got this xv6800 from verizon that has a wifi problem. Whenever I turn the wifi on the antenna will show but there is no activity. The wifi or phone will not search or scan for any access point or any available servers. I have tried to connect to my wireless access point by entering all of my info, it only says connectiing but it will not connect. The wifi has worked before, but it has never been able to connect to any network at all. I have tried to fix it but it won't work. I have tried hard reset twice and even installed the new update to windows mobile 6.1 and it hasn't worked. Is there anyone that can help or what else can I do to my wifi on my xv6800 work.

Ive seen issues that ppl have with WiFi after flashing thier phone. When was the last time you flashed your device and did it work after that?

You just need to reflash with a custom ROM or even an OEM ROM. But first you wanna make sure you back up and save all your contacts/pics/vids/sms/ECT.

You can do that with an app called PIMBackup or ActiveSync.

To make your own custom ROM look here and start at post #4. Its not hard but does require a bit of reading so you understand what you are doing.

You can get PIMBackup from dotfred.net and I highly recommend it.

I would read the GaMedic how to flash thread.

By that he means this thread here. Read over it a few times so you understand. Flashing is about the same as formatting and HDD and reloading an OS on it. A "kitchen" just helps you make your own OS or in this case a ROM which is your OS for your device.

I take no responsibility for fubaring your phone, but I suffered from the no wifi problem once before too. The attached link will take you to a cab file at xda, which when installed on my titan fixed the wifi issues with not recognizing networks or connecting to networks.

Note, it appeared to brick my phone at first, hanging on the boot screen for several minutes. I pulled the battery for a few minutes and then booted back up normally.

Back up your contacts and such first because this may need a hard reset to get phone to boot, just like every modification we do.

tnetw1251-wifi-ics-fix.cab is the name.
