WIFI and GPS Not Working Miui 3.1.18

I am having the same problem.

I had Miui 3.1.11 recently installed which I loved execpt my GPS was not working, but 3G and WI FI was working fine.

I received a notification that via OTA appp that update to 3.1.18 was available, however when I select the update it fails to download.

I then updated to 3.1.18 via clockworkmod update from zip which worked, however still no GPS and also now no WI FI available.

I then downgraded back to 3.1.11 via clockworkmod update from zip again, still no GPS but WI FI is working again.

Before installing the ROMS each time I wiped data, cache, dalvik (I tried to use FULL_WIPE_1.5_EXT4_ file recomended on instructions at XDA Jelly Miui download thread but this aborts during wipe with error).

Is there something wrong with my install or are these comon bugs with this custom rom?

Does anyone know a fix for these problems?

Any help greatly appreciated as I love the ROM but cant keep it if I dont have GPS or WIFI.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p.lu.k:
Flash latest version of KangBang kernel (2.5) and wifi will work again.

Here is a link to the kernel thread:

Don't forget to wipe cache and dalvik after flashing the kernel.

i still don't understand why people post questions in the Android Development forums instead of the Q & A...like seriously...do they think their questions are considered "Android Development"?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phateless:
You have not successfully flashed recovery if you get the red triangle. Keep trying.

Slow way down and read the guides more carefully. The fact that you posted this thread under development shows me that you obviously aren't reading directions very carefully.

Just curious cause this roms looking great.

Is this gingerbread or ICS Rom ? I ask this because I see you link to a gingerbread DooMKernel.
[Xperia Play Android Development] imputazz:
Battery life is working very good actuly i got my phone 2 ago charged and i use to play like 2 hours per day and send sms and calls, and still got 33% of the battery :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] imputazz:
This is ICS Rom. Sorry for the wrong link i have updated it, download it in Downloads area.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Dany XP:
-How much free internal memory free after install?

-I'm trying several ICS stock based roms now and i see everybody put the Movies app from Sony within, but i find it doesn't play any file i try (mkv, avi, mp4...) . How about this one? The same?
[Xperia Play Android Development] imputazz:
Yes all movie files are working you can test with this 2 secound file if you want, it is working very good, and the free internal memory is 259MB.

Re: [NEW] Xperia Play Express Rom ICS

1st bug question, does this Rom locks HSPDA? Or does it go back to GSM/ HSDPA Preferred? Image bugs? And does this include Small Apps.

No, that format dont work, but you can download MX Player from the market to play those files.
[Xperia Play Android Development] narflynn619:
I think this is by far the most promising ROM for the XPlay ever. May I just ask, if it's ICS how come the three buttons (Back, Home, Menu) on the lower part of most ICS screens not present? :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] ILikeTheWayYouMove2:
Re: Xperia Play Express Rom ICS [UPDATED 21-01-2013]

Because you can turn them on and off in the settings menu :)

This might be a silly question (forgive me if it is! ;) ) but do you need to install the WiFi modules when you install DooMKernel?

Just seen the post above, is Lupus better?

[Xperia Play Android Development] Fat_boy555:
Re: Xperia Play Express Rom ICS [BEST ICS]

Yes u nid ur phone bootloader to be unlocked.
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
right on..i use lupus ics cause i like 720p..better recording..its a little difference from 480p..but i prefer..and lupus is more new sources to built kernel..doomlord kernel is older.

but use what you want.you always could flash again and try other kernel..that s the beauty of multiple choices.:D

(podias mudar o ecran de quando recebemos a chamada..para o estilo AOSP como no lockscreen..para o anel.):D
[Xperia Play Android Development] narflynn619:
I understand that unlocking the BL will wipe my phone again, but since I have already made a Nandroid backup of my already configured stock ROM, if I restore the said Nandroid backup AFTER unlocking the BL will it relock the bootloader?

I know I should have unlocked my BL ages ago.
[Xperia Play Android Development] ILikeTheWayYouMove2:
Re: Xperia Play Express Rom ICS [BEST ICS]

No lol it will not relock your bootloader but make sure your on the stock kernel if your want to restore your backup
[Xperia Play Android Development] narflynn619:
Oh yes I'm still on stock kernel. I think I read somewhere that you can't restore a Nandroid Backup if using a custom kernel. That brings me to my next questions:

a) Since this ROM suggests using custom kernel, doesn't that break the ability to restore my backed up ROM in case I want to return to it?

EDIT:

b) Also, will unlocking bootloader after already being rooted affect ROOT status of my phone?

c) Is this ROM pre-rooted?

Sorry for being such a noob. Only now that I am trying to be adventurous with my phone. I appreciate all the help.
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
hope i helped you.:good:

if you need more help installing roms or kernel just ask here or pm me.glad if i can help like others helped me.

Hi

Love this rom but have problem with one of small apps, mirror exactly. It updated automaticlly and now crash every time when started.

It looks like it going to be my daily rom from now on.

Thank you for this great rom.

I have 2 questions :

1. Is there a way in the built in launcher to reduce homescreens to 1 ?

2. I see there's no Gtalk. Do I need to flash Gapps or I flashed the rom incorrectly ?

Btw I flashed Lupus V12 ICS kernel and it looks ok

P.S. Cwm recovery just hangs on lupus logo. A bug ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:
i use lupus also and that dont happen to me..gtalk you can install it from market.:good:

[Xperia Play Android Development] narflynn619:
Uhm, guys, just a quick question: I understand that after unlocking the bootloader, OTA is broken and will lead to a bricked phone. Is this also true with updating/reinstalling fresh stock via PC Companion/Update Service?

AW: Xperia Play Express Rom ICS [BEST ICS ROM]

Bricked phone? Where did you read that rubbish?

No, you just can't update anymore!

Therefore you can flash anything made for the xplay here, which usually proves better performance!

Seeing to it that Sony won't update the play anyway:cool:

Make sure you flash a propper kernel to the correct Rom or you get bootloops!
