Hi, guys!
(I searched on the forum but I didn't find any answer)
I'm new here and I'm using a doixanh ROM, GingerDX (but I already used Froyobread).
So, some time ago I had a problem...I couldn't connect my device (Sony Ericsson Xperia X8) to wifi.
What I did? I full wiped the phone...and that fixed the wifi issue.
But now I have the same problem...I can't connect my phone to wifi anymore!
I could do another full wipe, but this problem would just appear again and again...
I googled for some fixes and I found some answers...one of the solutions would be deleting one file (dhct or something) from the phone...the problem is: I don't have that file...
Another guy said (on a youtube video) to download an "hot fix" package with 3 files and place them on the phone...but the link that he gave is broken and I couldn't find those files on the internet.
So...can someone help me fixing this problem...?
NOTE: Like wifi, my phone's GPS doesn't work too.
Thanks in advance!
[sorry for my bad english]

Have you properly flashed the custom Rom into your phone..? I think that you should flash stock rom first into your phone and see if that fixes your problem...
I had same prb with WIFI and Bt also cannot be turned on any more[/URL] I tried: (Flashed GDX 17 about 4-5 days ago)!
1- FULL WIPE
2- Flash back stock rom
3- Fix with PCC
4- Fix with SEUS
check this for more info and if there is any thing could help you fix your prb
BUT nothing works
Now I'm on stock rom and my fu**ing WIFI and BT not working.
(damn even SEUS and PCC does not fix my porblem)???
wifi problems
own a x8 with DX 017, it starts happing after remembering a couple of networks, on my case i just forget all the networks, turn wifi off then on and it's working again.
hope it works for you
same problem
I have the same problem after flashing but my wifi just says error and no mac add avail. for the wifi i have reloaded stock and for some reason my wifi driver is not loadin and same thing still
I would try to update the radio. Look in this forum for the latest radio for your device.
But be careful, read the instructions, otherwise you would brick your phone!
Greetings,
Phil.

Hi, I finally decided to post my question after many hours searching trough google and xda.
Two weeks ago like many of you I uptdated my x10 to pre-rooted 2.3.3 stock Rom. At this moment I successfully tested wifi hotspot and usb tethering built in fonctions.
But Recently I tried to use it again but any time I checked the option, Android activate it for a second, an then says me "error" under the option name. Usb tehter can't be reactived at all and wifi hotspot can be checked but always uncheck himslef with the error subtitle.
Anyone facing this issue or know where it can come from ? And maybe the fix of course ^^.
Hope I made my self clear because actually I'm french.

I use Baracle to solve the issue with wifi tethering
https://market.android.com/details?id=net.szym.barnacle&feature=search_result
Yeah this is the solution I used to adopte when was on 2.1. And it was the best until the update.
But as far as what I tested when built-in tether worked it's clearly better. Not just an Ah-hod network but a real hotspot. Basically it's easier for other devices to connect and remember the password without configuring everything especially on windows.
And the usb option was even better, nothing to configure, no password, battery charging during tethering.
Anyway thank for the advice, until I get the solution I'll probably continue to use this app.
When you say "solve the problem with wifi tethering", do you mean you have the same one ?

Please, no one else, am I the only one facing the issue ? Even on an other device maybe ?
Finally I used SEUS to repare and root it like azazu said. Everything is back. Didn't find any other solution

I have the same problem and it never has been working from the start ! but USB tethering has no problem. The only way to fix it is to re-flash ?
Well I guess this is the best until someone more expert than us find a solution. I made a reparation with SEUS (sony ericsson update service) and then restore all back with Titanium Backup. Remember to save your contacts and sms before (cause Titanium doesn't). It only took one hours to get it all back just like before (root, bravia, Xloud, fps uncap...)
Hotspot error UNSOLVED 2012-02-01
Here's what I've done so far. I've suffered from this issue on two different Samsung Galaxy TAB's 7" (1 generation), two different Samsung Galaxy S2, two different HTC Desire HD, one ZTE Blade.
This issue is NOT caused by:
*Manufacture of phone
*Internet Service Provider (ISP)
*Operator
*Bluetooth ON/OFF
*root ON/OFF
*Stock Kernel
*Mod Kernel
*Stock Rom
*Mod Rom
*Stock Modem
*Mod Modem
*Android version: 2.3+ has this issue. (I've experienced a different issue on 4.0+; the Hotspot is up running although no device can connect to it.)
The only solution I've found is:
(From Clockwork Recovery):
Wipe Data(system reset)
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik
Format Cache
Format Data
Format System
-Install a Rom (try a different one from what you are using right now).
Reboot
RESULT:
Hotspot working fine....for a while..
When it stops working; you'll have to do the steps above again. Install a different ROM, now you probably can return to your previously ROM which had this issue first. It will probably work. If it doesn't, switch ROM till you find one that works. Sometimes, total randomly; you will be able to use ROMS which this issue has been present earlier.
Yet, this is NOT a permanent solution. You will, no exceptions, experience this issue, on whatever ROM, modem, kernel, stock, not stock, phone, whatever, whatever you choose.
Here's one scenario which I couldn't figure out:
Galaxy TAB 7" 1st generation.
Android 2.3.4
*HOTSPOT ERROR*
WIPE/FORMAT
RE-Flashed Same Rom
*HOTSPOT WORKING*
1 hour later
*HOTSPOT ERROR*
WIPE/FORMAT
RE-Flashed Same Rom
*HOTSPOT WORKING*
5-10 minutes later
*HOTSPOT ERROR*
WIPE/FORMAT
RE-Flashed Same Rom
*HOTSPOT ERROR*
?????
I've also noticed that USB tethering is affected by this issue aswell.
If you have it working, congratulations! Use it while it lasts, nothing stays forever.

Hi all thanks for your help,
Australian user here on virgin.
Basically when I first got the handset I flashed and used villain rom... everything worked fine for a week or two.
Then the wifi just stopped working.. it wouldn't turn on. I would enable it.. it would scan.. scan wouldn't work and the icon would turn off.
and I can't wifi hotspot my 3g connection it just says error.
The problem seemingly went away at random :S:S:S and now has arisen again.
I've tried using batista rom and that didn't help.
Tried searching couldn't find any solutions ((
ok i happen to have this issue last month and i spent 2 damn days to check everything.. but end up it's hardware problem.. you turn on your wifi it will scan a while but then shut off by itself right? if that so i really confirm you need to send back to retail shop.. before that you need to do a nandroid backup and flash back to original rom ( unroot )
trust me man it's the motherboard problem.. check this link for how to unroot..
http://www.jayceooi.com/2011/08/14/how-to-restore-stock-firmware-on-samsung-galaxy-s2-video/
p.s. you need to buy a usb jig to clear the binary.
hope this help
Hi there =)
I've a very puzzling problem with my phone ..
it's started two days ago .. I was reading my mail then suddenly the wifi turned off and start again, but it stopped at 'Obtaining IP address...'
I thought maybe it's router problem, so i restart the router but still the same problem .. then I turned off the phone and took off the battery and tried again .. nothing
then I changed the router to another one .. but still the same thing
removed the password from the router, tried IP address,
I tried 3 applications : FXR WiFi fix and rescue, Fix My WiFi, WiFi Fixer
but nothing worked ..
I've root, so I flashed the original kernel, then the last thing I tried is Factory reset
wiped all the data and cashed .. but none of it helped
I'm using the ROM JPKJ2 2.3.5
any suggestions that may help ?!!!
happens to me at times...
do you have more than one router/switch in your house?
Install wifi analyer (or equivalent) and check which channel your router is using..
is there any overlap with say your neighbours router?
try changing the radio channel on your router or it is has a smart channel switching setting enable it.

it's not a router issue .. I went to a friend's house and tried to connect to his router but it's the same thing .. stuck with 'Obtaining IP address...'
my flat-mate also have SGS2 but the wifi works good with him, I also tried the tethering from his phone to mine .. and it didn't work =/
thanks for your reply =)
Flash a different modem not kernel first .
jje
I just flashed the entire rom .. and it worked =D
but still want to know what caused the problem !! =/
thank you guys =)
How weird????
I experienced the same thing last night, in the troubleshooting that I have done, the WiFi would stop connecting after I tried installing the Roboto Font using Font Installer, it first occurred when I upgraded to KK5 from KJ3, I didn't like the font so I went ahead customizing my device to my usual standards then realized that the WiFi was not connecting, it was stuck on Obtaining IP Address.
I decided to factory reset, nothing, so I flashed back to KJ3 and it was working again, I was relieved, so I installed Jkays Mods and also the Roboto font and Speedmod Kernel, woke up in the morning to the WiFi not connecting again, so I flashed KJ3 with Odin and it connected, I flashed CF Root KJ3 and it was still working, I installed Jkays Mods and it was still working and when I installed the font using the app, it stopped working again, so I flashed KJ3 through Odin again, then flashed CF root and it was still working, this time I used font installer to install Roboto font before Jkays Mods and again my Wifi was stuck at obtaining IP address.
So I flashed KJ3 again and it was working, then CF Root and Jkays Mods and all is well so far, but I fear that it can happen again as I have no idea what is really causing it, and I can't make the connection between the app Font Installer installing the Roboto font and my WiFi being borked...
What were you doing exactly before it stopped connecting....
there's something wrong !!!
the first time I had the problem I was just reading an email from my teacher using Gmail, nothing weird ... now after I solved the problem by flashing the rom I start restoring my apps using My Backup Pro, then i restart the phone and the problem return !!!!
there isn't any new app, all the apps was working well without causing ay problem.
so i flashed the rom again without wiping any data .. my apps still there and the problem solved !!!!
Thus far, it seems the issue for me was the Font installer, I still don't think that I am in the clear, so I would use my phone normally, maybe something will reveal itself with patience
I will keep the variables to a minimum, use the phone normally and finish installing all of my apps, if my phone continues to work okay, I will try a custom kernel and so on and so on, it is good to know that the issue goes away when a stock ROM is flashed though, hopefully that will not change

I'm having the exact same problem with Cyanogenmod 7.1.0 stable. I downloaded daily 116 but found that if I just reflashed the 7.1.0 .zip the wifi would start DHCP association negotiation successfully again.
The problem for many seems to be related to updating busybox installer by Stericson
Just flash over the original rom and don't update busybox

it happened again, but this time I only flashed the modem file from the stock ROM and it worked =)
you don't have to flash the entire ROM

Hi there,
Installed FeraLabs Rom today, clean. Problem is I cant connect with my wlan / wifi router. Worked before the Rom...where could be the problem?
Thanks in advance!
I explain a bit more: There is no error massage or anything, it just wont connect. Do I have to change anything before using w-lan? Please help guys!
my "lockscreen" is also gone...how can I lock the display now??
Well, installed ***FeraLab*** v10 ~Adrenaline~, numberlock is back, but I still cant connect Wifi / W-Lan...it seems to work for others, am I missing something? Do I have to install something, make some configurations?? Come on guys, I cant post in the FeraLab Thread, so please help me here. The Phone is more or less useless without wlan...
Should be simple enough- install either the wifi.zip fix for your kernel or rom.If he says you dont need it(in his rom thread),then try the kernel wifi fix,as I needed that to get wifi working when I was running DKv06.
Download/stick it in sdcard and flash it via xrecovery.

Good day mates. I have a problem with my XU; whenever I turn on the Wi-Fi on my phone, it gets stuck on a boot loop. May it be on a stock ROM or a custom ROM (ICS, KK, et al.) I've yet to try GB.
I've read several threads in XDA and Google about this and no one has provided a fix or a diagnosis. There is quite a lot of issues like mine not just on the Xperia U, but other Xperias as well. Could this be a hardware problem? Does anyone know where can I locate the file responsible for WiFi so it doesn't get turned on accidentally and having to reflash the whole ROM again?
Thanks fellow XDA members for your future responses!
Finally fixed this weird WiFi bug. I just flashed stock GB. At first when I turned on WiFi, it showed 'Error', but when i tried it again, it turned on, and Bluetooth also worked fine!
Then I thought if I flashed stock ICS and/ir flashed a KK/LP custom ROM, the bug may return. But fortunately, it did not. Hurray for GB firmware! Hope this fix will help others. )
