No WIFI or Bluetooth after 3.0 update

After updating today to 3.0 on my 3G, the Bluetooth and WIFI is unavailable. When I updated, there was a problem which required me to Restore. After the restore, these items became unavailable. I read it might be because I updated on a Windows machine with a Firewall so I restored again with my MacBook, but no luck. When will there be a patch! I need my Bluetooth when I'm driving! Help!

I am one of the victim losing WiFi and Bluetooth (grey out) after OS 3.0 upgrade. I spent hours searching internet and finally recover my WiFi only (but not yet bluetooth). Would like to share if this helps other victims of OS3.0 upgrade.
1. Download iRecovery for Windows 1.3
http://www.zaksenterprises.com/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=84&func=fi leinfo&id=32
2. Install both libusb and iRecovery
3. Turn your iphone 3G to Recovery mode
http://www.zaksenterprises.com/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=84&func=fi leinfo&id=32
4. Goto c:\iRecovery\iRecovery_SVN
5. run iRecovery -s
6. printenv wifiaddr to confirm still "00:00:00:00:00:00"
7. setenv wifiaddr "xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" - new wifiaddress
8. saveenv
9. fsboot
Now you have your WiFi back to normal.
BTW, my bluetooth is still greyed out. please share any ideas how to enable my Bluetooth in Iphone 3G

  • Iphone 5 will not connect to home wifi or Bluetooth after iOS 7.1.1 update! Using unnecessary data please help!

    My iphone 5 will not connect to my home wifi or Bluetooth after I completed the iOS 7.1.1 update. Before the update I was able to connect to my home network with no issues. Now it rarely finds my home network (unless I'm right in front of the router and even still the signal is weak) and when it does find my home wifi network it frequently disconnects from it. I followed previous suggestions to turn off router or forget network settings and re-establish them but it continues to happen.
    This also happening with my Bluetooth connection. My iphone 5 would automatically connect to my home phone Bluetooth prior to the iOS 7.1.1 update. But now my device no longer connects, which means my home phone no longer rings when my cell phone is ringing.
    I probably would be less worries if I did not have to monitor my data usage with Verizon. However, I do have a limited amount of data to use and I recently reached the max and had to pay extra money due to my wifi being unable to connect. Can anyone please help me with fixing this?

    If you have Applecare take it back to the shop and demand a replacement.  If not you're stuffed.  It's a bug that they've put in the software to get you to buy another iphone.  You can maybe warm it up with an hairdryer near the speaker and then turn it off and put it in the freezer for 10 mins then retstart it and wi-fi is there.  It could also be a problem with the chip, if you do the freezer thing it comes back.
    Apple knows its a problem as there are millions of people out there that it is happening to, in my opinion get shut and get a Samsung!!!!    That's what i've done and love my new Samsung S3 Mini miles better than the iphone!!!!
    Go on youtube atnd look how many millions of people this has happened to.
    Someone needs to put this in the media so they will actually do something the robbing bleeders!!!!!
    Also whatever you put on these discussions will get it wiped if Apple don't like what you put!!!!

  • TS1398 I cant activate wifi function or bluetooth after new OS update

    After i updated it started having trouble staying connected to a wifi network, so i restarted the phone and now i cant activate wifi or bluetooth.. It just says off and cant turn it on..

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • No wifi or bluetooth after update

    My wifi and bluetooth are greyed out (insettings) and not functioning after update.
    I have done a full restore, uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, cleared network settings, cleared all settings...yadda, yadda....
    My wifi network is working fine for other computers in the house, so it has to be an update issue....
    How many others with this problem?

    Hummmm....I bet the line at the store will he huge after a update like this....
    I'm gonna hold out for someone with magic voodoo powers to give me a fix before I brave that....patience has never been my strong point, though...
    Thanks a gob for the wisdom, your next beer is on me....LOL

  • No Wifi or bluetooth connection since kitkat update

    Since the kit kat update my Razr M will not connect to Wifi or Bluetooth (not so worried about bluetooth I rarely use it) after reading suggestions from Verizon reps on the forums for similar questions I preformed multiple soft resets with no luck, finally I did a factory reset this did not work either any better suggestions. From some of the other post I've seen getting a new phone didn't help either as once the update ran on the new phone it had the same issues.

    There is no damage, the toggle to turn on WiFi will not toggle to the on position and if you open the Wifi screen where you would normally see connections there is nothing there at the bottom you have the double arrow symbol the plus sign and 3 dots that I believe would be considered a sub menu the 3 dots are the only thing that will bring up anything when you touch it where the others I remember having something come up before the problems when you touch the dots it brings up a blacked out box you can read scan, WPS Pin entry Wi-fi Direct, Advanced and Manage Networks however the only option that is white and can touch is Advanced. when on that screen Network notification and Wi-Fi notifications are blacked out. I have tried changing the WiFi frequency band as i had seen that as an option to try previously in another thread however when i change it to the 5GHz only it immediately reverts back to auto.

  • Not able to switch on WiFi and Bluetooth after upgrading to Windows 10

    I was using Windows 7 Home Basic preinstalled with the laptop since 2011. The laptop was working fine. After upgrading to Windows 10 the WiFi and Bluetooth is not working. Tried help from Microsoft remotely. According to them the drivers are not working and there is no updated drivers available for Windows 10 on HP website. The driver installed presently is "Broadcom 4313GN 802.11b/g/n 1x1 Wi-Fi Adapter".Please help and advise whether to stick with Windows 10 or to roll back to Windows 7 as I have an option to purchase a removable device to use WiFi and Bluetooth.I love the lightness of the new operating system. Please help!!!

    If you have already reset your iPad the next would be to restore it agin. After that talk to Apple. Also see previous threads:

  • My iPhone 4 wont tether via WiFi or Bluetooth, after installing Lion

    I have not had any problems tethering until after the Lion upgrade. I have tried WiFi and Bluetooth and it looks like Lion is dropping the connection attempts from the phone.
    Bluetooth: I deleted the pairing on both iPhone and Macbook and redid the pairing. The PAN connects for a subsecond (green light) and then drops.
    WiFi: I removed the phone wifi from known networks and rejoined but no luck. The iPhone thinks it has a valid connection but the Mac wireless connection symbol is a pair of overlapping circles. It appears that some protocols are getting through but many are not.
    Nothing changed recently in firewall settings...
    Puzzled,
    Keith

    Sorry, but downgrading the software is not supported by Apple.
    Try to set up the phone as new device, as explained in this article:

  • Problem with WiFi and Bluetooth after iOS 7.0.4 update

    Hello.
    Since the iOS 7.0.4 update, I've lost both my bluetooth and my WiFi connection.  As some other users has said on previous reviews, the WiFi button stay grayed and the bluetooth shows a spinnig "thinking" wheel, and that's it.  Before that update, both services were working just fine.
    I was hoping that the 7.0.6 update could fix those errors, but my problem remains.
    Any Official comment from Apple about this issue?
    Thank you.

  • No Wifi or bluetooth after 3.1.3 update,gray

    I have read the different suggestions to fix this problem,but none work. If I do a back up and restore on my computer to an earlier date,and restore my iPod to the original settings then hook it up to iTunes before the update will this help the problem? Just wondering. At this point I'll try anything,the wifi was a big plus for the iPod,right now whithout it,it's no better than my Sony Walman mp3 player,which by the way has never given me any problems. It seems everytime I have to do an update something happens. I have learned to fix the most common problem with an update,but this time I didn't have to do that,and I was suprised that everything went so well,until I found out that the wifi was missing. If someone know how to fix it,I would be very grateful. Apple should test these updates on their own iPods before they screw up ours,and I mean more than one iPod,not one,it worked,lets roll!!!

    This was one of the first articles I read when searching for an answer to this problem. I started with a clean iPod several times but still had a grayed out Wi-Fi. I was hoping to not have to send it off for repair,or visit the Apple Store since it is well over 100 miles away. Everything else works fine with the exception of this. Thanks for the help, if you have any other suggestions on how to solve this problem,I will try anything. Thanks

  • No more wifi and bluetooth after a restoration OS3 to OS4

    Hi,
    My iPod touch 3G 32go (MC008NF) was updated to OS 4.2.3 and everything was working OK, one day it gave me the screen "connect to iTunes" with the usb cable symbol. I had to make a restore, and I did not pay attention that my last backup was on OS 3.
    It works fine, but I lost the wifi and the bluetooth, even after an blank restore, and all the steps mentionned on the apple official assistance guide.
    I have then made an upgrade to OS 4.3.5 (8L1) to check if this problem was solved, but no and I still have the same probleme.
    The informations menu gives me "Wi-Fi adress : N/A" and "Bluetooth : 00:00:00:00:00:00". The network menu gives me "no Wi-Fi" and the bluetooth menu says "unavailable" (in French...)
    I had tried to se someone at the apple store from Paris, but they told me I need to buy a new one.. As this is not my fault but more a problem in the update system I was wondering if someone had a solution for that ?
    Thank you
    Thibaut

    If you tried everthing here, then it is a hardware problem. I know of no solution for fixing the broken one.

  • MMS over WiFi not working after Sense 6 Update

    A week ago Monday, the Sense 6 update hit my phone.  Once loaded, I could no longer send MMS over WiFi, stream Google Play Music over WiFi, access my content on Google Play Books, or back up my pics to Google Cloud over WiFi.  After several days of e-mails back and forth with HTC, it was determined that I had to perform a Hard Reset and lose all my information.  This after clearing the cache, re-booting, various Safe Mode re-boots, etc.  Nothing worked.  I finally gave in and performed the hard reset.  Now, the only thing NOT working is MMS over WiFi.  I've tried other WiFi networks and still no MMS functionality.  After about 10 minutes, I get a red triangle next to the message and an error notification, "Generic Network Failure."
    This is going to start costing me money.  Like so many of us, I no longer have unlimited data.  Now, every time I want to send an MMS, I have to use my data plan.  Not cool.  I'm hoping that someone sees this and is working on the problem.  I love my HTC One (M7), I really do.  But, we're talking basic smart phone functionality.  Without it, I'll be looking for another phone, and perhaps even another carrier.  I'd prefer not to do that, but so be it.  Please, Verizon, a little help?
    For what it's worth, the MMS does this first.  Notice the little MMS icon with the clock lower right...it just hangs there first...and sorry about the shoe pic.
    Next, it does the Red Triangle thing...
    And that's all I know.  Perhaps someone here, or a kindly VZW employee will see this and take pity.  Thanks!

    I am having the exact same issue with my HTC one, which started immediately after updating to sense 6. Very annoying since I do not have unlimited mobile data plan, so I have to manually turn mobile data on each time I want to send or receive mms texts, including texts with multiple recipients. Did not have this issue before the update. Love this phone, my very first smartphone. But it is hard to believe that I was able to send pics over text with my old flip phone with no data plan. And now I can't with the HTC. I just can't have the mobile data on at all Times. It has become very inconvenient ever since the upgrade. Wish I had never done sense 6.

  • TS1398 Wifi not responding after the software update. restored the system but still no luck.

    After I updated the software, the wi-fi has stopped working. I have already restored the system but the problem remains. Wifi is working fine otherwise.

    Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks  http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
    iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • Yoga 2 830lc wifi not working after android 5 update

    hi i am update my yoga 2 830lc to android 5 and after update not working wifi please help me

    Hello all. Fisrt of all, this are my specs: Yoga 2 pro 13". WiFi card: Intel(R)Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260. I bought it from Best Buy on November 27, 2014. If you aquired your Yoga before this date, you may have the single band WiFi card. As many of you have experienced, I also had a bunch of issues with my WiFi connectivity and this is how I was able to solve it. At least it has been a couple of days that I haven't had any issues. The first symptom was the usual connection drops every X amount of time. For me it was about every 2 hours. I first unchecked the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" option in the Power Management tab of device manager and disabled U-APSD support in the Advanced tab of device manager. This action did not solve the problem. I then downloaded and updated the driver from the Intel web site (http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect) and this seemed to solve the drops; however, a new problem arised: Everytime my Yoga would wake up from sleeping mode, all my wifi networks were gone and the adapter showed as disabled in Device Manager. I would have to anable it to have my networks back. It was a solution but a pain the butt to have to do this everytime. After hours of reading post after post in several forums, I read a repy from Lenovo asking to try leaving the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" CHECKED if you were using the latest version of the driver. I went back to device manager and checked it back and that seems to have solved the problem. So far I haven't had any drops and everytime my laptop comes back from sleeping mode the WFi connection is still there! Here is a recap of how everything ended up: -The driver version I installed is 17.1.0.19-The driver date is 7/21/2014-In device manager|Advanced, U-APSD support is Disbled.-In device manager|Power Management, "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" is checked. Hope this helps somebody else.
