[Q] How to solve problem without factory reset?

Unfortunately, I started a thread that was closed before I could get an answer.
Anyway, my question is this, when I have something wrong with my X10, how do I fix it without having to do a wipe and reset over and over again.
For example, my wifi just seriously won't start and keeps saying "Unable to start wifi".
This happened before but solved itself days later, now its back and it just won't work.
I don't want to keep resetting my phone to factory settings each time my wifi doesn't work.
[Q] Is there a hard reset method that won't wipe your data?
A soft reset/restart does nothing, btw.

What ROM are you using?
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

POWER OFF / ON again will it resolve your issue ?

No, like I've said, a soft reset will not do anything.
As for the rom, the phone is all stock, I even have market authorized apps only.

Is your X10i or X10a ? did you try Sony Update via PC to completely reinstall stock again ?
OR
Will there be any chance, you using flashtools to installed a wrong version of stock firmware with wrong region ?
Did you tried any other wifi connection than your current place.

X10i, ive previously used sony update to reinstall it. I don't wish to do that everytime i get this problem.
I've installed the proper region and i dont us flashtools.
I've tried local connections and actually I took it to anther city whilst I was out. Problem persists

i closed that thread cause it was a question posted in the wrong place
as is this thread

4.3 WiFi won't connect during setup?

Not sure if its a bug or not but when I updated to a clean 4.3 and I got into the setup for a new phone I was able to put my password for my WiFi but it wouldn't even connect. Kinda like it didn't even try. I reflashed it and same issue. This time I reboot the phone and it worked instantly. What's up with that?

Mobile data won't enable after lost connection

Hello. I'm experiencing a unique problem. My Moto X Play mobile data won't enable after a disconnect: that means, after I either disable the connection manually, or the network signal is lost. This is a new problem that started three days ago. I've had the phone several months and never had the problem until now. Likewise I've never had the problem on any other phone. After disconnect, the only way to have mobile data working again is to reboot the phone.
I'm currently on Android 5.1.1. I hope someone can suggest a solution that doesn't involve a full reset, or update to Android 6, because I'm not open to either method.
Help appreciated, thanks.

Please upgrade to 6.0.1
Upgrading won't wipe your data.
Maybe the newer version fixes this bug.

As I said I do not wish to update to 6, especially for a "maybe." Surely there's another thing to try, and I'll appreciate any suggestions along those lines. Thanks.

Incorrect. I solved it myself. I restored some backed up system apps + data, that were related to the data connection, using Titanium Backup. And, problem solved. The problem must have been that some data got corrupted somehow, and restoring that data fixed the problem.

[Help] Can't turn on wifi

Hi there, I got an issue on the OOS 4.5.12 after 3 days of using it. I got the problem , that the button looks stuck. I can click it and it will change its own color, but it doesnt turn on my wifi. Now I know I can clean flash the update again, but In want to know if someone had/has this problem too, and if someone maybe knows a work-around.
Edit: So I tested the device furthermore and found out, that I can't turn my Wi-Fi hotspot on... Wiping dalvic/ART cache didn't work neither...

Strange.... I didn't have this problem at all.

Same until today ? I will try to dirty flash the update, just to see if this will solve the problem. If it doesn't work, then I will be switching back to 4.5.10 OOS

When I got this error I found out it was because I flashed new firmware and used an older kernel which didn't support the new firmware. You should read your logcat and see if there is any clue there.

Hello. Calling for help!
I have the exact same issue except i am able to launch and use WIFI. When i try to enable portable hotspot it gets stuck on "Turning on". The hotspot button in the slider shows enabling but the hotspot never gets enabled. I was on OOS 4.5.15 and upgraded to 5.1.5 after which i restored only the DATA partition from TWRP. I am currently rooted. I tried with editing the build.prop file and restarted but the issue is persistent. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I would recommend a clean flash to test without restore old data.

Thank you for replying. I dug a bit deeper last night. Deleting the entire wifi folder from root and restarting fixed the issue.

I had a lot of problem with wifi after flashed a not stock rom. Nobody could me help until I find the solution. Tell me Jelly do you have mac address or it show 02:00:00:00:00:00?
