Some more details on what items you downloaded and "psted" on /system could be helpful.
That error message usually appears when the OS is unable to initialize the wireless device. Have you tried rebooting to make sure it's not a temporary issue? Other than that, I would suggest flashing a different kernel - which should replace the wifi driver module and hopefully get it working again.

got it fixed.. i reverted to frg83 and wifi works well but when i update to frg83d, wifi error pops again.. i decided to stick with frg83 instead..

Wifi unable to start unable to stop tether not working

I searched all over the internet and was unable to find an answer or solution.
I Installed RegawMOD's latest rom.
Wifi was working just fine, The last time i remember that it was working was before used the toolbox and before installing 2 or 3 games. I think that something messed with my wifi driver because when i try to turn it on it says "unable to start wifi", then when i try to turn on airplane mode it says "unable to turn off wifi" When i try to run the Wireless Tether it says that the tethering started with errors that i should check the log. The log says the following from the bottom going up:
Tethering now running DONE
Enabling access control DONE
Enabling IP Forwarding DONE
Enabling NAT rules DONE
Activating wifi Interface FAILED
Configuring WIfi Interface FAILED
loading wlan.ko module FAILED
Does anybody have any useful information that may pertain to my situation?
Everything else is working perfectly. this is the only thing that has ceased to work.
This belongs in Q&A, not Dev.
Thread moved to Q&A.
This is a kernal issue go with darchDroid 2.7, it will fix that problem
did you flash a different kernel? What version of tether?
if you really feel it's the driver, pull the wlan.ko from the original zip and push it into place to overwrite.
I just encountered the same problem as the OP on my HTC Hero CDMA. I rooted my phone with RegawMOD3.0 yesterday and within a few hours my Wifi stopped working. I'm getting "unable to start wifi" and "unable to stop wifi" in airplane mode. The only other thing I did was get the Adblocker app, which i thought may have cause an issue so I did a factory reset on my phone and still no dice. From what I've read it's either the kernel or wifi driver and I'm unsure what one to try and fix first. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.
Kernel version:
2.6.29-ba77cf03
[email protected] #1
Firmeware version:
2.1-update1
Build number:
2.51.591.4 CL343325 release-keys
Well, whatever the issue was it was solved when I put cynogen 7.2 Nightly in. My Wifi is working perfectly now.
Yeah. I'm impressed they're still making nightlies for this phone.

I/WifiHW ( 763):wifi_load_driver end error 2

(im running nxsense1.26)
yes, i have the same problem. Get "error" enabling wifi or wifi mobile AP >:|
Try downloading and flashing one of the kernels listed in the NXSense thread... this should fix this issue...

i downloaded the one that says older wifi driver
and now i can turn on the wifi it just says unable to detect wifi? i think then turns off.
i tried reflashing (with wiping out everything) to cm 6.1 then back to nx sense about 5 times..
wont work..
any other suggestion
how do i use ODIN to go back to stock Like Completely / wiping out everything
because i came from Galaxy S, and when i used Odin to go to froyo (internation galaxy s ver) then odin back to 2.1 (US galaxy s version) it fixed the problems that reflashing couldnt fix.

[Q] WiFi problem with MIUI

Hello,
I have just flashed MIUI Gingerbread 2.4.20-RC3 to my GT-S5570, everything looks great, except WiFi, when I turn on WiFi, it says "Scanning" finds my WiFi and then "disconnected" and again shows "Scanning" for 1 sec and again "disconnected", what can I do?
WiFi Error
You need to revert to your old stock rom, because the drivers for WiFi aren't working. Same thing happened on my mobile phone, when I flashed it with the newer firmware. Didn't really find the solution to this problem, but solved it by going back to my old rom. Hope this helps.
You can also try typing this code into your phone: #*#*526#*#*
It might work for you.
Best of luck.

Thank you for reply.
It is working now, here is what I did: In phone settings I tried to change themes lock screen to other, but unfortunately not default lock screen was way too big (very big resolution) so I was not able to unlock my phone any more, once I found that I can do it pressing back+volume down, it helped to unlock, but MIUI was crashed and stopped working, so I had to wipe all data and cash, to reset default settings, after this, everything works great now.

the same thing was happening to me (on the same rom)>> "fixed" it by reseting the notebook-hot-spot (connectify) I use
[sometimes even a simple wi-fi turn on/off or rebooting the device would help too]
I'm posting this in order to prevent you from doing more drastic stuff :cyclops:
hope it' helps

Trouble on wifi. Will this fix it?

Hi. So, I just got a Samsung S3 GT-I9305 from Vodacom. Got it from eBay. But, I'm having trouble connecting to the wifi. Whenever I connect to the wifi it always says "Authentication error occurred". I turned off the wifi thingy using *#0011# and wiped the cache, I even reset the phone to its factory settings. I sometimes connect to a wifi, but it takes 1 hour or so before being connected. And I have trouble downloading from the playstore. Did everything I could find from the web. No luck.
So, I was thinking, If I would flash a custom rom to my device, will it fix the wifi issue? And would any stock firmware of the I9305 device work?
Thanks! Sorry for being noob.

Hi,
I think it could be a router issue. You should :
- reset your router and retry to connect with your i9305,
- play with WIFI network settings in router. Maybe something doesn't allow your i9305 connection (network type, firewall, etc.). I'm not an expert in router settings, so you could google this to help you.
- try another WIFI network (from a friend, at work, anywhere you can test )
I think that flashing a custom ROM won't change anything. First try to fix your problem with stock firmware.
