Ra1n, Sn0w and loss of WiFi

[edmartin]

After installing today's RC3 release of Blackra1n and then Blacksn0w, my wifi for my home network went away on my iPhone - nowhere on the list under settings did it (or any other wifi network for that matter) appear. I Googled and found one post that said I should reset my network settings. When I did that, the tethering that the "black st0rms" had turned on was gone.

I'm now performing my 3rd restore to try to fix things so I can have wifi and tethering.

Has anyone else run into these issues? Any advice?

Edit: Sorry, misread a line of your post... Try a full restore and rejailbreak.

Resetting the network settings>>restart>install profile should fix it

I did the reset of network & restart of iPhone. But I'm not sure what do do with "install profile"?

I did the reset of network. It fixed the problem

Yes it does with most, but as you can see it doesn't with the OP.

Reset of network settings does get my wifi back, but the tether option that appeared under Settings/General/Network disappeared.

Ahh. There are packages in Cydia to re-enable it (for free). Don't ask me for the names though, since Cydia is broken for me.

Doh! Figured it out. Got a tether-enabled profile here:

All is working.

why not install a carrier ipcc file ? that solves the problem as well.

Also it is mentioned in a tweet by Geohot

this happened to me when I jailbroke my 3GS. I was unable to resolve the issue and went back to stock, but jailbreaking was always "I can take it or leave it" for me.

2 questions...

How do I do that? I see geohot's tweet but not sure where to get a carrier ipcc file. And is it easier/better than using the BenM profile that I downloaded?

 

[benflick]

If the BenM profile worked, just stick with that. Easier than finding the correct .ipcc and installing, while achieving the same thing.

 

[groovs]

this will solve all of your ipcc needs

i find this better then benm profile ... then again ...personal choice / preference.


Irrelevent to above ... kindly check if you all have your youtube app working fine ??

I just checked & YouTube is working fine for me.

I had the no wifi issue as well. I unistalled blacksn0w. Rebooted. Installed a second time and all is well.

I had the wifi issue late last night. Reset network settings and it's fine now.

If resetting the network doesn't work, I found that turning off the phone for a few minutes twice works. I did this last night on my and my husbands phone.

Google will easily find one for you.

I fixed the wifi issue by uninstalling blacksn0w from Cydia and reinstalling it. The reset network settings didn't work for me.
