WiFi won't turn on, 3G works - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After recently returning from China from an one month vacation, my GS2's wifi stopped turning on. If I try to turn it on in the notification bar, it would go hollow green for a few seconds before returning back to off. If I turn it on in settings, the same happens.
I've read over the forums and tried a number of methods such as reflashing the same rom, flashing back to the stock rom, factory reset or flashing a new kernel. All methods did not solve my problem.
My 3G works but I don't understand why my Wifi won't even turn on. I am also unable to turn on Portable WiFi hotspot as it would say error when I turn it on.
Please HELP!!!

wifi wont turn on after flight mode

I traveled today and used the flight mode in my comm manager using dcds rom. After that when i switch the wifi switch on it wont put the little antenna at the top or activate the wifi on my phone. Flight mode is obviously off at this point. If i go to the comm manager and the switch is on and i hit wifi itll blink the icon on the top of the screen for a split second and then it will go away and the icon will go to blue and right back to grey with an x on it. My wifi was working fine until i hit the flight mode. Any help
Silly question but did you do a soft reset?
yea and i also removed the battery. it seems to me that the hard switch isnt working
I found the same thing. What seems to happen is when in "Flight Mode" before Wifi is enabled, no radios will then turn on. Try setting Wifi on, then turning off the cell radio and BT radio. Now turn off Wifi. I found the device will now show it is in flight mode, but the Wifi can now be turned on and off with the slide switch.
This one had me thinking my slide switch was broken for a LONG trip until I worked out this sequence.
Good luck
still no luck ive tried a bunch of sequences with the switch both on and off and i cant activate wifi
What rom are u using?
dcd 3.0.0 evrything is working normal on the phone if i hit the wifi switch it wont do anything. if i go to comm manger with the switch on and press wifi itll blink the little satellite at the top but go away in 2 seconds exactly how it would if i had the hard switch off
My recommendation would be try a newer ROM and see if the problem persists or try stock. You either have a bad build or a bad flash since I know WIFI does work in that version.

wifi won't turn on

So I noticed the other day that my wifi will not turn on. When I go to settings and tap the slider it says "Turning on..." but never does. I've been running DIET ICS 7.20.12 and recently 7.22.12. Just tried a complete wipe and re-install and it still won't turn on during the initial phone setup. I think I'll try flashing back to the stock rom and maybe see if that works? Or is it even rom related.

[Q] NO DATA CONNECTION on MIUI for T-Mobile G2x HELP!!

Hello, I recently installed the MIUI port for the T-Mobile G2x (here at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421713) and I really do enjoy it, but about 80% of the time, my data connection isn't working. The icon doesn't show up in the status bar and it just doesn't work. It usually works at first, but once I turn WiFi on for the 1st time, use it, then turn it off, data quits working. Occasionally, I can get it to work after rebooting several times, but I'd like it to work normally. I've reflashed the ROM, rebooted, toggled Airplane Mode, and so on, but nothing gives. How can I fix this problem?? Thank you for answering.
