Try out the following which did work for me.

Method 1:

Turn on the device
Plug in the USB cable
You will get the screen for turn on USB storage.
Pull down the notification drawer
Turn on wifi/Data

Tested on AT&T Fusion working fine.

Method 2:

Use the method given by shkschneider

adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.wifi.WifiSettings
adb shell input keyevent 20 & adb shell input keyevent 23

This works only if you have USB debugging turned on. If you do not have USB debugging turned on under Development do the following.

Turn off the device.
Boot into recovery mode (Power button + Volume up)
Plug the device into computer.
Use the ADB tool to execute the same commands given by shkschneider

Tested on AT&T fusion working fine.

I was in the same situation on a Samsung Mini II   I got around it eventually by holding down the power button until the  power off  menu appeared   From this menu it was possible to enable the network data connection     Then signing in to my google account using  googlemail com  rather than  gmail com  seemed to do the trick   Though the change of address may just have given the phone time to warm up the 3g connection rather than making any real difference

See these answers    How to turn off Wifi via ADB   Connecting to wi-fi using adb shell  However  I m pretty sure that Google actually stores your email and password  at the time of saving to the device  for times like these   So when it needs to be unlocked  it won t require an internet connection   I could be wrong   Either way  when I had this issue  I had internet connectivity  and I knew my username and password and it didn t care  kept saying they were wrong  even though I was logging into my email    Had to format the phone at the time   Good luck

Not sure if this rather simple solution is already posted here somewhere   The problem is locked phone w o wifi connection  not rooted and USB debugging disable  hell  worse possible situation   ADB can not be used since  Adb devices  do not detect device with USB debugging disabled  Tried recovery mode  can not enter it   Tried emergency mode  Adb still don t detect device   When I almost gave up and was like an inch from hard reset something strange happens  When I connect a phone to USB as usual USB entry screen appeared  Nothing new  What I noticed then is that in this screen it is actually possible to lower a drop down bar and bingo    I was able to turn wifi ON  And then just entered google account and phone was unlocked   Hope I helped someone

You should start the WiFi activity from adb then simulate inputs   adb shell am start -a android intent action MAIN -n com android settings  wifi WifiSettings adb shell input keyevent 20  amp  amp  adb shell input keyevent 23   Here is the list of adb inputs   7789826  I m not sure if those keyevents are the right one for your case  but I think it will do  It simulated a  down  to select the first checkbox  then an  enter

In my ROM  it s stored in the  global  database  rather than  secure   So D   s answer is correct  but the sql line needs to connect to a different database   sqlite3  data data com android providers settings databases settings db update global set value 1 where name  wifi on

This works really well for and is really simple  adb -s  PHONESERIAL shell  svc wifi enable

WiFi can be enabled by altering the settings db like so   adb shell sqlite3  data data com android providers settings databases settings db update secure set value 1 where name  wifi on     You may need to reboot after altering this to get it to actually turn WiFi on    This solution comes from a blog post that remarks it works for Android 4 0  I don t know if the earlier versions are the same

If you are locked out and WiFi is turned off in your Androud device then one solution is to connect your phone to a PC  connected to internet  and try to login with your google account  - it worked for me
