UPDATE - Problem sorted via philos64 thread at the top...
Should've tried that 1st, but posted here hoping someone would confirm that was the route to take, as it wasn't actually bricked... Never mind, all done..
Why??? Was out earlier so I turned my wi-fi off and my mobile on and everything was working fine..
When I got home, I turned the mobile off and tried to turn wifi back on, but it is hanging on 'Turning wifi On.'
Tried rebooted the tablet a few times and rebooting the router, (BT HomeHub 3), but still the same problem.
This N7 is rooted and running 4.2.2.
When I look at the Advanced Wifi the MAC and IP address are unavailable.
When I go into Wifi Analyzer it says the wifi needs to be turned on and tries but gets same hang and retries...
On the left of the analyzer it shows my Wifi ID with a mac address underneath with a yellow triangle and 'No Signal!' in red.
The wifi from the router is working as my phone is connected via wifi.
Any ideas please people ???
:crying:
going for the post with the most views and zero replies is not on my bucket list... So I'm going to reply to myself..
An Update....
The problem is still there, so I went into bootloader - recovery mode....Then I went into Android system Recovery.
I selected cache then wipe dta/factory reset.. Reboot then starts tablet as new with the unlocked symbol, then goes through the initial setup. Select language, then it does Select wifi and displays 'Turning on wifi'.. Hung...
Would flashing it via Nexus root toolkit sort out then problem... If so, any clues what flash and how...
If it wouldn't fix it... Is the tablet now bricked??
Please answer someone if you know..
Cheers
There have been several posts about wi-fi problems if the outer shell of the N7 is separated and not fully locked in. A loose or separated shell can cause a disconnect in the wi-fi antenna. Check for any separation and maybe squeeze the front and back together all the way around the outer edge.
I did read them and a lot of other threads but they were mainly to do with wi-fi looping and not connecting.... I couldn't find any other post regarding just 'turning it on'.... And seeing as it's sorted with just a flash of the stock rom, I can safely assume this problem had nothing to do with hardware...
Hence why I was surprised I was the only 1 with this 'type' of prob.... (but I didn't read every post so I may have missed one).
Same problem too

im experiencing the same thing. im using Samsung galaxy S4 i9505 LTE and on android 4.3/ rooted Baseband i9505XXUEMJ5. it happened when i was trying to erase all the bloatware on my phone using Trulyclean by schoolsux. after i flashed the script i started having this problem.so far ive tried to do a factory reset by using custom recovery, tried to download the modem fix and flashed it through odin and do the advanced settings on wifi and uncheck the auto network switch. The problem that i have is yes it say "connecting" for 2-3 minutes then it gives you a list of possible wifi connections and then you connect. another 2-3 minutes then it wont connect. repeat the steps and now i can connect, then if you turn off the wifi you will have to go through the whole process again. it doesnt save any wifi connections you have connected before. there are 2 other ways i havnt tried yet and that is to flash a different kernel. a custom kernel and reflashing my phone again with the android 4.3 then root:laugh: for the nth time already:fingers-crossed:

i have same issue with htc one x, my wifi doesn't wan't to turn on. it stuck on "turning on...", i tried to flash different roms, etc, now i think about flashing kernel, did you do that? did it help?
Same problem on N4
Have had the exact same problem not once but twice. One day it works perfectly fine. Next day, it just stops at turning on process.
On my N4 the 4.2 was working fine. Along comes the 4.3 OTA update and the wifi stops working. Does not startup or show the mac addr either.
Did factory reset, wipe cache and even reflash binary from google stock images. No relief.
One day, the wife using gmaps started the gps location service and pop the wifi started,
Now after the 4.4 OTA all seemed to work well till yesterday and pop the wifi breaks down. the earlier trick of gmaps does not seem to work. I think one of the google apps update is breaking this.
After rebooting also, the device seems to remember the wifi state and tries to read the previous history and restore for the startup. And that is killing.
Any idea how to debug this or to wipe the wifi logs or to manually start the wifi/bluetooth radio.. ya athe bluetooth is also stuck.
Thanks guys in advance
Where is the fix?

Hi Can you please send a link for the solution? i am still stuck with "wifi turning on" screen and cant seem to bypass it. No matter what Stock image i flash through Wug Toolkit.
i have got the same wifi errorrigictsi vanished
initially i had loaded my explorer with fly rom and everything waas working except the internal memory. i'm not even able to download at least an app and then i tried bulletsense rom for increasing the internal memory of my explorer. it's successful, and the memory increased. From there onwards, the problem started. the wifi first said error... but after reboot, it's all the time saying "turning on"..
by typing "ifconfing twlan0" it said no devices found... so i thought it might be some driver error. coueld any one port some other drivers to the below rom so that i can have both internal memory and wifi...
link to bulletsense rom ///d-h.st/xFr//// ( add https before /xxxx/)
here is a screenshot of it...///bit.ly/MMSeam///
any one please help me on this and give me a chance to raise your thanks meter...
sorry that i'm newbie and not allowed to post links.
Hey guys.. I faced similar issue in my AMOI 820 based Indian local device Micromax (rooted + custom kernal)
I fixed this stuck wifi problem by uninstalling Google apps in system by removing them using Titanium back up + and again installing them from playstore if needed.. Hangouts(in my case) if it's a system app after getting updated is the culprit .. Try removing it and reboot and test it yourself..
guess it working now!!
I was going crazy about this stuck wifi issue!!
I tried everything!! I found on the advance panel on the wifi
That the MAC address and the IP address is unavailble.
After many tries i think i fixed it!! Using:
Busybox and MacMan
MacMan changed my MAC address and now the wifi is no longer stuck!!!! Hope it will help you too. Peace

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
Sent from my OnePlus 5 using XDA Labs
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?
Hello, I have unlocked my phone and flash stock rom nougat 7.1 with magisk, twrp and xposed. Three day after this process I try to install this two mods:
I - https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-fingerprint-mi-5-mi-note-2-t3660179
II - https://forum.xda-developers.com/x-compact/themes/sound-boost-nougat-7-0-t3684917
And My phone start to drop all wifi conections and bluetooth stops working. So I tried to restore 3 backups that I made first of wifi problem beggins, and didnt make diference. So I flash a new stock rom, with other xperia firmware from Xperifirm, and nothing changed. My wifi conection and bluetooth still sucks.
Here's my questions: is possible that this change break up my network board, is this a hardware problem? Can anyone know if there is a way to know if is a software or hardware problem??
Can anyone copy and post here the wifi (data/misc/dhcp) and bluetooth (data/misc/bluetooth) files to see if i can fix it?
In worst situation I will restore drm keys, lock bootloader and go to a Sony Store, thank you guys for any help, I was really enjoying this phone =X

I've noticed this affecting my phone since the update to the 34.3.a.0.252.
Apps wont load content on wifi, auto update of google apps wont work over wifi, etc. (some have even been sitting waiting on auto updates for over a month...)
As soon as I turn wifi off from the tray, apps update, content updates, picture and videos instantly start to upload
i have not installed either of the two packages you list, or magisk, so I don't think they are related to the issue.
Its not an issue with my router set up as it happens on the main router, a repeater, shared connections, hotspots or public wifi. Its down to the phone and most recent update.

It's weird becase a tried 34.1.a... and didnt make out. Idk if some how I made some hardware crash, or drop wifi is just a bug from my rooted phone. Today I tried to install marshmallow stock rom, and stock + twrp and both with wifi issues, in weekend I ll try to restore drm-keys with locked bootloader.
I saw what heppen with explorer es.app, bluetooth and wifi files are missing, and even with a new flash rom or deleting folder they dont fix up files. The strangger part is that in the beggin everything was right, maybe I break up wifi hardware. My last chance will be install Paranoid Android, and if everything is all right, I will copy file for try to force software fix it.
Did you made anything to fix it?

I've just been living with it, though I may downgrade back to the October Rom version if i still have it while i wait for appropriate O versions, kernels with support for turning off encryption etc..
Just to close this post, and help others members I would like to notice that I solved my problem. Actually, it was just a coincidence. While the installation the required processing burned out the network card of the phone. This fact there is no connection with the installed mods or ROMs, nor either with any of the information or hypotheses I gave earlier. The problem occurred because the x compact's battery its attach with SoC, and therefore it is very sensitive to heat, fortunately my cell phone is warranty and I will get a new one. So, take care !
Hi. After trying a couple of custom roms, I wanted to go back to a stock rom via Odin. I actually succeeded. The phone boots, and android setup screen comes. But in the "wifi connection" screen, when I touch the button to turn the wifi on, it just refuses to turn on. It goes back to off position. I have tried several different country's stock roms (4.4.2 only, I haven't tried 5.0) and they all ended up the same. I just can not turn wifi on in stock rom. Wifi works in custom roms that I installed using TWRP.
Any idea why this happens?
By the way, I also tried flashing different modems, but the result is the same. I read that turning off the phone and removing the battery helps, however, in my case, it didn't.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
EDIT: As I have looked into the issue, some people claim that a custom kernel usually solves wifi problems. I haven't tried it yet but I will as soon as I can get my hands on the phone. Also in another post, I have seen a build.prop tweak "ro.securestorage.support=false" which is claimed to have solved the wifi issues. I am writing these to be of help to others that might encounter the same problem. I will update the post after trying these ideas.
EDIT 2: It turns out, when you flash a stock rom, Odin can't actually flash the modem partition. It seems like it does but it actually fails. You have to do it twice.
No Wifi
Hi,
have some trouble with my Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505). Since 2 weeks I'm trying to get wifi working. 2 weeks ago I decided to root the phone (everything complete stock Android 5.0.1). At this moment wifi was working well..
I did:
- Flash TWRP with Odin
- Flash magisk 18.1
--> booted phone..
Everything seemed to work well..expect wifi. It wouldn't turn on. When trying to activate the WiFi button by sliding to the right it stays grey and after 10 sec. the slider goes to the right side again.
What I've done:
Downloaded several stock firmwares from sammobile --> no wifi
Flashed serveral custome rom's (lineage 14.1, 15.1), android 5.0 and 4.4 based --> no wifi
Tried differnt kernels --> no wifi
Flashed different bootloaders and modems--> no wifi.
Tried to delete files in /wifi folder suggested here in forum --> no wifi
Tried to modify buil.prob set the security value to false suggested here in forum --> no wifi
I don't think thats a damage on the hardware. It must be a software issue?
Bluetooth and mobile data are working well. GPS and wifi seem to be broken.
After spedning weeks of flashinng, recovering etc.. I am frustrated and don't know what to do.
Any advices?
My wifi is not being enabled with this rom. Does anyone know how to solve?
