[Q] WIFI Unable to connect....

This just happened about 24 hours ago to me. i noticed it says "unable to start wifi" also i think that affected my wireless tether.
My phone has the simple root done to it. I have Astro File Manager, ROM Manager, and like i said before i did the simple root with Unrevoked3. i am a mac user, i dont know if this second paragraph of information helps.
What should i do? should i just wait for the update to 2.2 that is supposed to be updated to my phone sometime soon? i tried restoring from an old backup and also tried to do a full system clean as well but still same thing. I am a newbie to this but i feel as though i have somewhat of a grasp on this.
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated
You guys sure keep the mods busy around here.

that suggestion didnt help
I feel your pain, most responses around here aren't helpful... just negative... you'd think that if someone took the time to reply they'd just share... typical forum behavior though.
I can’t seem to find a clear answer on this… some say it works, others say it’s broke.
*watching in hopes someone can help*
yeah i am just hoping i get the 2.2 update soon and it fixes it. so i am guess i am gonna have to wait until then and then take it from there. unless someone has some ground breaking suggestion. cause, i've been looking around and it seems like this is a problem thats been occurring as of recently.

I have sky raider 2.5.2 and my wifi keeps trying to connect then obtain ip address then disconnects and keeps trying all over again why please?
so since nobody gave me any good feedback i decided to take on the task like a blank canvas.
Step 1: Reinstalled original Kernel
step 2: Full Data/Cache Wipe
step 3: reuploaded all of my data from last backup...
it appears everything is working fine.WIFI works great!!! I need to double check wifi tethering though. if anyone is interested i can repost if tethering is working.

I am not an expert by any means however it sounds like it tried to do some sort of OTA update and it didn't stick. If I were in your shoes I wouldn't worry about trying to fix the stock. I would go to the android developement thread and learn how to flash CWM through ODIN. I used the SSGSII tool to root and flash however I know it can be done through ODIN. Then, once you get CWM on there you should be able to flash a custom rom. Maybe even be able to flash a stock TMO rom through ODIN. Again. I am not an expert but it's just my thoughts. I hope this helps.
I would try this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1513359
I thought I had my phone "bricked" at one point and this got me back in the game. If interested in a custom ROM, definitely check out the Jedi Mind Trick in that same development section. If you just want the stock one to work that link above should help. Good Luck.
Never tell them it wasn't purchased from the store. You should tell them it was by your cousin or some sort, and was given to you. They'll ask for some sort of proof and be like he didn't keep the receipt or anything, tell them you still have the box though, even if you don't. most reps will just brush it off because it was a gift from a relative.
Just be nice to the reps, and if you put them in a good mood they'll more than likely to help. Imagine sitting behind a table doing csr all day and listening to people complain.
Well that's just a tip when dealing with the reps, the part where they ask was it purchased from the store is their easy way of just ending their customer service with you.
Anyways you can just use odin or flash.custom roms to fix your problem

Dear jcnbama, thanks. Can you please guide me where I can get these files? In fact, I am a beginner of doing this not even know what is CWM, but hear ODIN before. Again, many thanks for your help.

Dear Meelocheck, thanks for your information. I did tried to flash the ROM follow by the link above but the "SGH-T989_TMB_1........." doesn't work. I have already send an email to that person asking for help. Do you have any other links or website that I can get another file to try? Again, many thanks for our help.

Dear Teo032, thanks for you information. Since Tmobile had a record when I talked to tech support on the phone over an hour, I am not sure if I call them again say this phone was from my cousin that will they believe? Do you have any idea where I can find a most update link/website that with ODIN and Flash ROM? Again, many thanks for your help.

My suggestion would be to go to the android development section and start reading from the top. There's alot of threads for noobs about ODIN and rooting etc. Just gotta put in the hours and the time learning. It's worth it in the end. CWM stands for Clockwork Mod Recovery.

No idea what he did, but why not just try a factory reset?
Find out what the phone is and you can post in the right form of forum for the best help. You're not likely going to do well here.

Sprint s6 issues, please help me!

So ive got a spint s6, bought from dubai, unlocked and rooted apparently. After a couple of days, my phone woulndt start up cuz it was FRP locked. OK so i searched for the original firmware, i flashed it and my phone booted up again. i flashed also the 5.1.1 and 6.0.1. Here s the thing, on 5.1.1 i can make calls, receive them, receive text messages but i cant send texts at all, so my guess its that its not unlocked anymore. On 6.0 doesnt even have any signal so forget about it. I just want to resolve this issue. I cant find the setting that could help me to change the message center at all, i dont have that option in my phone, i even tried to change things with some adb commands but still nothing. So after all my guess its that the phone isnt unlocked anymore and if so, how do i unlock it? i just cant give the phone back cuz i dont live in dubai, im like a day or so distance with the plane so i just wont go back there again. If anyone could help me...please do so...im on 5.1.1 now, unrooted, i can root, i just cant send texts and i dont have the messages center
oh and also i tried the galaxy tool method from idoneapps which apparently wont work at all and im concerned about paying for that thing if it doesnt work so...yeah

Happy someone finally answered. Same problem? I really dont know what the hack its going on. If the god damn phone was unlocked, why wouldnt let you send texts after the odin flash? Maybe i didnt say but the phone was opened in the back and front cuz some elements are not fixed in places. Maybe they unlocked by hardware or smth..

The vast majority of users on this site are in the US. I'd help you if I could, but as I have replied in other threads on the same topic (and that is a problem too, people keep on opening up new threads) that if I can't reproduce the problem, I can't solve it.
I notice that your signature says "Sent from my SM-G925F." Is that part of the problem? Not a 920P phone?
Factory reset the phone. Then get in touch with [email protected]. hell dire t you on how to resolve. If unlock is your problem he can help.

Nono thats not a problem. I got a galaxy s6 edge which im using daily, its perfect. The s6 with an issue is my sister's. A factory reset wont do anything. I did that enough times already. The messages jsut dont seem to work at all and i dont find any solution. Also, i didnt find a thread with this problem and if there is, im sorry for bothering with this. I just need help..
