Hi,
I flashed new ROM on my Lenovo P780, its EU rom LiFe v0.7.
Everything is working fine and stable, but one thing isnt,
I cant turn on Wifi or Bluetooth.
When I try to turn it ON, the turning on animation appears, but it keeps coming back as OFF. So I just cant turn it on.
I was trying switch the ROM back to stock rom, but this Wifi error is still there.
Does anyone know what to do with this ?
Thanks a lot.

Did you make a full backup of your stock ROM? If not, you are doomed because of the WiFi and Bluetooth MAC address or NVRAM data probably have been wiped, thus you cannot switch on WiFi and Bluetooth at all.
Probably you can fix it, but I don't know whether it works or not though.

First rule with Mediatek phones, always make a full backup of stock ROM before making any mods to your phone.

I seem to be having a small(or large?) issue with my Wi-Fi connectivity - after rooting my phone it didn't surprise me that I lost GPS functionality, it didn't surprise me that I never got it back but hey I can live without it if it means I don't have to wait for HTC.
What's beginning to bother me is the fact that my phone can't manage a Wi-Fi connection it could 3 days ago.
Tried restoring my 1st nandroid backup that I made immediately after I flashed the custom recovery and I still had no Wi-Fi. And no GPS.
Also I have tried flashing 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26 as well as 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.08.29 with no result on either front.
Please help me out if ya can.
What ROM you using pal?
1st thing to try is to put both your GPS and WiFi on, then turn your phone off and back on again.
I'm currently trying to use SenseHero 2.2
I have tried turning on both WiFi and GPS and rebooting, I have also tried similarly - leaving them on and flashing the radio too...
It doesn't seem to be helping all too much.
Furthermore(and the part that concerns me most) I have tried restoring my initial nandroid, the 1st one I made and saved after flashing the custom recovery and still nothing.
and there's no mention of issues in the Sensehero thread no?
If I was you,....
I'd backup my sd,... Format it. Then run a RUU so it unroots and goes back to stock state,... then see if it is working again or not.
I've been searching threads over as many forums I can find for DAYS. But still a no go..
I suppose I'll try to unroot it. I haven't finished researching the RUU's, does it matter which one I use?
Well apparently unrooting the phone doesn't reinstate the GPS or WiFi connectivity.... GPS still "unable to determine location" and the WiFi still SEES the WLAN networks in range but still cannot connect to any of them.
I can't seem to find anyone else who has had problems with WiFi connecting let alone wifi AND gps problems.
Yesterday,after I flashed stock ICS rom through odin, I noticed that i can't connect to any kind of wifi connection, even wifi sharing from other devices! it says just "obtaining ip address" and nothing. stuck like that forever. What?

My problem was unable to turn on wifi, wifi stuck at the stage of turning on.... and forever like that cant off and on.
Most probably is hardware problem coz i have tried many ways to solve including flash back to stock rom,change modem,change kernel and etc.
good luck for you,hope you are not the same problem with me.

Wifi is kernel-related.
So, try to flash another kernel to test.
Or if you don't want to flash another kernel, check in menu Settings > wifi > (menu button) Advanced > Use static ip.
Try to enabled and connect.
Then disable and try to connect.
If that does not help, try to wipe cache (and Dalvik cache) in recovery mode.
Press Volume UP + Home + Power buttons as long as the recovery menu appears, then select wipe cache and reboot the phone.
P.S.: Check the configuration of your wifi router / WLAN access point, that is allows your phone to connect.
ok so i did everything again just to be sure and... my mistake! the problem starts not after the rom flashing but after cf root! have i done something wrong maybe?
I would say look for a custom rom that is already pre-rooted so then it should have all bugs to do with wifi removed.
I used to have a problem with the wifi myself which caused problems when turning it into a wireless hot spot and then wouldn't turn back off again.
But now im on the Custom Rom I am having no problems with wifi at all.
Hope this helps.

Actually, I would say try a different kernel. CF-root is a kernel. Wifi drivers are in the kernel. Ergo... ?
Wifi is kernel related issue
try changing your kernel
you mite wanna chk dis

Im having the same problem here, any luck so far?
may have something to do with the root. my phone had this issues once. just flash your phone with the correct rom and do NOT root it again as it may have something to do with the root itself. or just something got messed up during the rooting process
I had the same wifi freezing issue in my galaxy S2 i9100..at first i simply cant turn on the wifi..i have tried all options mentioned here..finally i came to know the heat related issue that burned the register across wifi chip and bla bla..i have no wifi in my s2 for a month..last week i managed to dual boot my s2..surprisingly follwing things happened..
1.I can turn on the wifi only when battery level is below 10%..then it continues to work
2.Every morning i woke up it cant be turned on..and i tried to discharge the battery to below 10 % and then it connects..
3.Wifi only connects on Resurrection Remix ROM but not on Stock ICs which is my secondary Rom
4.If it is hardware issue..then why it connects now.
5.It connects and disconnects i use software like fix my wifi https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...lynx.fixmywifi
FXR wifi fix and rescue https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...1vcmVmaXhlciJd
Can someone helps me about this issue..why wifi connectivity is related to battery level and only connects to RR remix ROM??

Flash another Kernel or at least the same one again!
Wifi probs are most time related to kernel.

i have same kernel in my secondary ROM..but while booting stock ICS ( secondary ROM with same kernel) i even cant turn on the wifi..
I'm having an issue with the wifi not turning on (it stays grey saying turning on but never does) all other radios work, just not wifi. I cant get it to run on any rom except for stock. I am s-off if that helps solve anything. I've tried flashing boot.omg, I've tried other kernels, I went back full stock newest update.. still no good. If the Rom is custom WiFi refuses to turn on.
