Hello
This phone was working fine for two months since I bought it new with the stock ROM, until it could no longer connect to my cellphone provider this week-end.
After I got home, an Internet search recommended rebooting the phone in system mode, and hitting "Wipe cache partition". I did, and the phone could connect again to my cellphone provider.
But now, I notice that it can no longer connect in wifi mode: The wifi slider is greyed out in Settings > wifi.
Is there a cause-and-effect relation between wiping the cache partition, and wifi being unaccessible? What could I try to re-enable wifi?
Thanks for any help.
In case someone else has the same problem: Wiping the cache partition a second time solved the problem. After rebooting, wifi was enabled.
Hopefully, CyanogenMod or some other alternative ROM will be available in the coming months so I can move away from the stock Android + EMUI provided by Huawei.
I've exactly the same problem but the Wiping the cache partition a second time tips did not solve this issue...
Anyone else is seeing this?
Regards
I have the same problem too, no idea why.
Reflashing marshmallow firmware fixed my wifi, took me only 4 months to realize that i should try it XDD Or maybe I had tried it earlier and it didn't work then.
do you have a link to the image you use?

My phone is honor 4x so it's same than p8lite, but u can't flash honor 4x firmware to p8lite or other way around.
I also wiped dalvik-cache , cache, data, system and internal storage in twrp recovery and then did force update (and I didn't flash stock recovery). Don't know if those things had any random effect that made it work.
ok thanks I'll try that

I don't really know about that firmware version and I'm bit too lazy to star searching. You should try to ask from general p8lite Q/A if there is thread like that or some similiar thread.

This is twrp which you can use to wipe those partitions, but you need to unlock bootloader to use it, you should do some research about that stuff before doing it.

Do what i have told i did in one of my earlier post, if u dont' know, how google it, it shoudln't be too difficult. And flash official stock rom with force update method.
Hi guys, I had to give up using CM Roms since the phone reboots every time I try making a call or receive one, I understand there is some king of bug with the dialer framework included in the GAPPS package and that installing the Google Dialer from the play store should solve it but in my case i hasn't. This is what I've tried to no avail:
- Intalled Google DIaler from PlayStore/APK and set it default with all the permissions enabled.
- Installed Google Dialer apk as system app and set it default with all the permissions enabled.
- Installed the full GAPPS package.
- Removed the stock dialer and did all things above.
Hope someone can help me out here,
Thanks.
This happens when you have multiple phone dialer apps enabled. To use any other dialer than the included (when you flash Gapps Tiny or Micro which is recommended since the bigger packs replaces the CM app).
If you don't like the CM one, you should still flash a smaller Gapps and then disable CM dialer and download the one you want. If you already flashed a bigger Gapps, you should format system, cache and dalvik/arts partition and then reflash CM and then the smaller Gapps.
Should be enough to go settings, apps, click the gear weel (next to 3 dot menu), choose standard apps from this menu and determine your dailer as standard app..
This is a classical issue..

Hey pitrus, this issue actually started while only having CM dialer installed since I mainly flash pico gapps.
Will try it again since its been like a month since I gave up on it. Let you know later.

Maybe you'd like to give Banks a shot, I think it's worth to try...

I never had this specific problem, only when it wasn't set to be default but a also only use one dailer.. The one that is default on cm based roms..

Guys I've had no luck, tried with a clean install of CM14 and still facing the same problem. Just today did a CM14.1 install and it is still present for me.
I guess that I could flash just CM and not gapps but I rely on Google services for a lot of stuff. Will keep trying though.
I'm having the exact same problem, random reboots during calls only, sometimes I don't even have time to answer. I'm running CM13 and only have one phone app, also set as default. When running stock and Cyanogen all was fine, this only started after flashing CM13.
Developemt for Cyanogen stopped that's why I switched, maybe coming from another rom is causing this? I did a full wipe when flashing and have updated to several nightlies and the problem remains. Maybe I'll try another rom and test it for a while.
Installed Dirty Unicorns a few days ago and the problem seemed to have been fixed, but yesterday it started acting out again. Is there a way to check if this problem is hardware related?
I'm now doing a factory reset and installing Oxigen hoping that'll fix this once and for all.
It's a problem related to Gapps

It is not a hardware problem, I don't have this issue when running Oxygen OS, it only happens to me when running any AOSP based rom with Gapps installed.
Flash Oxygen from here http://downloads.oneplus.net/devices/oneplus-2/ and it will fix it, it's not the same as running CM though.

Sounds like you flashed the full version of Gapps instead of the recommended Nano or Micro which does not replace the dialer app with Googles own, try the smaller Gapps and you should be ok.

I've installed them all with the same result, last time I was using Pico Gapps with Seraph's CM14 and it happened eandomly, sometimes I could make and receive calls normally but a most of the time it would reboot as soon as the phone started ringing.
Currently I've tried a lot of solutions so I'm not really sure of what's wrong.

I flashed the latest OOS and now things are only a little bit better, instead of reboots I get dropped calls and a "No available network" message. This seems to happen only when I'm on a 3G or 4G network, if I change to a 2G network I can make calls without problems. This is driving me crazy, I've tried almost everything and I can't see what I'm missing.

Its happening to me as well just as you describe it. It is very weird. In thinking of flashing the stock OOS 2.2.0 just to check whether it makes any diference.
Yesterday I restored my phone back to stock, but the problen remains.
This definitely has something to do with mobile data. If I disconnect mobile data I can make calls without any problem, when I'm connected to a wifi network too (I'm guessing because the phone has no need to use mobile data).
Some suggest that this might be related to VoLTE and operators not supporting it, but I can't find anyway to see if this is even exists or if its activated in OOS.
Later today I'll try Hydrogen and see what happens.
UPDATE: Flashing Hyrogen didn't solve the issue, calls keep dropping when mobile data is activated on LTE network.
UPDATE 2: Going back to OOS 2.2.1 didn't solve the problem either.
Kinda solved now

It seems I have solved my problem with the reboots and I think might help with your droped calls as well.
Firstly I flashed this OOS 3 firmware https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591020540821656, it comes with a hybrid TWRP, after that flashed the official CM14.1 and pico Open Gapps.
I think the firmware file did the trick or maybe it was the recovery since I haven't had a reboot in the past 2 days when receiving calls or making them.
Hope it helps
It's been a few days since I tried the last solution and so far my problem seems to be solved.
What worked for me was flashing the latest modem from H2OS 2.5 which also is supposed to enable VoLTE, but I can't confirm this since my carrier does not support VoLTE yet. To do this I first flashed CM 14.1 and then the modem, it worked fine since the first boot. Since my battery life wasn't the best in Nougat I went back to CM13 and the phone is still working fine.
Guys I am facing random reboot issue on every cm13 base Roms and even cm14 Roms..
Tried every possibility
1.Changed Roms
2. Cleared internal
OOS works pretty fine. Not even a single random reboot.
I have analysed when I switch off LTE connection phone works fine.
On LTE whenever I try to watch YouTube or any other high speed related stuff signal gets dropped, connects again and phone gives a reboot
Phone is almost unusable as it is giving me reboots multiple times in a day.
I am using Reliance Jio LTE(India)
Any suggestions please?
One guy reported the same issue on cm13 thread but havent got any resolution
I'm sorry bro.. Even I'm using reliance jio and i haven't suffered any such issue.. Try booting into your recovery and doing a fresh install, wipe dalvik and other caches.. Look if the random reboots is happening in a clean rom with no apps installed. You must have messed up with some system/root settings which may be the cause.. Also if u use titanium backup to restore apps after fresh installing a custom rom, try restore only the app and not the data. If then the reboots doesn't happen, it's more likely an app that's causing the reboots..
Also if you're installing additional zip files, verify that they aren't corrupt!

Hi good fellas, so a week back, I flashed mokee build everything was perfect until I received a WhatsApp message from my friend asking me why the hell am I not picking call when it's ringing. I was like what ? Dude send me screenshot and I got roasted. So I tried finding the root cause and got to know sim selection was grayed out.
Issues were,
1. Not able to select sim selection for calls as nothing happens when you click on the selection area. Data works fine for both Sims, I have not tested with SMS.
2. First sim slot works fine for both incoming and outgoing however on the top it shows the second sim name. For example, in my case I'm using Vodafone (first slot) and Tata DoCoMo, so when I make or get a call to Vodafone, it shows me Tata Docomo.
3. There is no way of making calls from second sim.
What did I do?
1. Downloded NucleaRom latest 1.4.1 did a Clean flash (wipe data, cache, dalvik and system) - Did not work.
2. My saviour in flashing, TWRP backups.
Restored NucleaRom 1.3.5 (which was working fine before) - did not work.
3. Restored NucleaRom MM final version 3.0. did not work.
4. Flashed COS 12.1, Bingo got the selection back ( Damn, it has good battery backup) so used it for couple of days.
7. I couldn't take COS Anymore, so downloded last nightly of cm13, clean flash- success
8. Since I'm so addicted to Nougat I wanted to try my luck, tried lates mokee, NucleaRom, RR, sudamod, Cr Droid but it didn't work in any ROM.
9. Back to COS, clean flash, flashed MM Firmware, then Nougat Roms - did not work.
10. Got some update on Nougat ZUI in its XDA post (thanks to developer), downloded both zip and OTA update,clean flashed. Bingo- selection is back. However ZUI still has force close issues
11. Clean flashed NucleaRom, bingo - selection came back.
Not sure what exactly is the root cause since it persists even after clean flash of other ROMS (which were working before) and also backups. If it happens in one ROM, it happens in most or all the Roms. Even in China based ROM.
So, this is the only solution I found, it worked for me. Let me know if it works or if you have any questions.
Thanks to all the developers of Z1. ?
Thanks.
But I think a have found another solution for it.
When I Flash Gapps mini, I have the problem.
But when I Flash Gapps Stock, The default dialer is replaced and then I go to settings and change default dialer to phone(by Google) and sim selection perfect.
Can anyone confirm?

Simply I tried this at my own,
And it worked!
Steps :
1. Install Lineage OS ROM from TWRP. (don't install Gapps)
2. Restart your android.
3. Skip all the startup steps after booting-up.
4. Now go to SIM settings and you see, you are able to select SIM for calls.
5. Select any SIM of your choice.
6. Reboot again into TWRP & install Gapps.
7. Reboot into system.
Now you see, you are able to select any SIM of your choice. :good:

To access the Recovery you have to press the three buttons at the same time (vol+ / vol- / power).

Just use "adb reboot recovery" in CMD with USB debugging enabled. Won't have to bother with key combinations. ZUI is installed on system, boot partition, and updates modem partition. Doesn't touch the recovery partition.
Below is my original post; however, I've since solved the problem. In an effort to help others with the same problem, I've written a Guide, which should explain exactly what to do if your WiFi is suddenly "broken" due to flashing issues.
Here's the link: OnePlus 5 WiFi Fix
Many thanks to everyone who offered help, especially subaash and hallo dare, who put me in the right direction.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Greetings, everyone.
Sadly, for specific reasons unknown, my WiFi appears to be completely broken.
Over the last few days I've gone "flash happy" by trying several Oreo ROMs for my OP5. Some worked while others just froze at the boot animation.
Unfortunately, shortly after flashing the xXx-NoLimits Oreo ROM, which got me to the initial set-up screen, my WiFi would not connect. So, I then bypassed the WiFi part and finished the set-up. Everything seemed to be working very well, but I could not get WiFi to work.
Yes, I could engage the Wifi slider to the ON position, and there would be a list of SSIDs; however, oftentimes even my 2 SSIDs would not display. When they did, and I tried to connect, I would see the connection attempt, but it would not complete the connection. Only the word "saved" would be shown under the SSID name. Then it would automatically try to reconnect, but without success.
I've tried virtually everything I can think of to solve the problem, but I can't connect to WiFi.
All other communications work, i.e., Bluetooth, Data, making and receiving calls. It's ONLY the Wifi that's not working.
Yes, I completely wiped my device and re-installed the original OxygenOS (4.5.14), but that didn't work. I also tried completely wiping the device and then installing that latest OxygenOS v4.5.15, but that didn't solve the problem, either.
I went back and flashed all the previous custom ROMs in an attempt to see if any of them would work, but nothing. I tried NitrogenOS, HalogenOS, Liquid Remix, xXx NoLimits, and they all could not connect to WiFi.
I even tried a few WiFi Fix apps on Google Play, but they didn't work, either.
Oh, yes … I even checked my router. It's perfectly fine. I can get WiFi on my laptop without a problem. Furthermore, when I went to a local coffee shop this morning that provides free WiFi, my phone could not connect, just like at home.
Does anyone have ANY suggestions?
Thank you,
Peter
I would say this is to do with your firmware/modem.
I did have this issue on a non Oreo ROM and in the end I just did a dirty flash and it worked.

I've tried flashing both the 4.5.14 and 4.5.15 firmware, with no luck; however, I accidentally deleted my modem nandroid about a week ago.
Do you know where I might find a flashable modem file?
Thanks,
Peter
Addendum: I found the following site for Firmware & Modems:
https://www.jamal2367.com/?dir=OnePlus 5/Firmware + Modems/Android 7.1.1/OxygenOS
I'll try flashing them and report back.
Addendum 2: NOPE! Didn't work. I flashed a few different firmware & modems, 4.5.13, 4.5.14 and 4.5.15, but WiFi is still broken. Yes, I first flashed the appropriate OS version before flashing the firmware and modem. In other words, I always matched the OS version with the firmware & modem version, but no success. Everything works except WiFi. Hmm, still stumped.

Careful with modems mate. There's a thread here on XDA containing modems and firmwares..just make sure you get the right one.

Thanks! I'm quite aware of the need for caution with modems. Sadly, though, it didn't solve the problem.
yea my freind in idia s 1p5 was flasing anything and his oneplus 5 got weird but turns out ok googles cousin hey google had a hangover, i cleared her cache and threatened her with king root & she slowed her role, i asked her why her cousins voice is so shot out,she said ok google has a hi and low voice cuz she burnt out but now ok google took my vpn and dipped to inda for some oneplus christmas party. what ever just watch out for hey google, cuz if you got volte 5g and a vpn they b will go offline and dipp with your vpn to india. i guess india likes oneplus. hold up this is the be delighted thread?
Did you get this sorted, having the very same issue

Sadly, no. I've tried absolutely everything I can think of, all without success. It's very frustrating because absolutely everything else works, except WiFi.
All I can do now is wait for suggestions from others, or take the phone to a repair shop (which I'm hesitant to do).
Peter
Thanks for replying. If you happen to get it sorted, please let me know. I will do likewise if I manage to fix it. Thanks
Try reflashing the rom. Not sure why, but that happened to me and reflashing the rom fixed it.

Done that already, tried old roms of OOS and Oreo, but still no joy. Heads wrecked with it.

Do you have a full rom backup? I mean of the last working rom you had before all the flashing? If so, from a full stock rom (1.53gb or close) of the same build as the backup (ie... 4.5.14) wipe and flash that rom, then wipe and restore the backup you have if the last working rom. If they doesn't work I think you're likely looking at a hardware issue.

Same problem but only on my 5GHz network and dont know how to fix

Greetings, everyone.
Sadly, for specific reasons unknown, my WiFi appears to be completely broken.
Over the last few days I've gone "flash happy" by trying several Oreo ROMs for my OP5. Some worked while others just froze at the boot animation.
Unfortunately, shortly after flashing the xXx-NoLimits Oreo ROM, which got me to the initial set-up screen, my WiFi would not connect. So, I then bypassed the WiFi part and finished the set-up. Everything seemed to be working very well, but I could not get WiFi to work.
Yes, I could engage the Wifi slider to the ON position, and there would be a list of SSIDs; however, oftentimes even my 2 SSIDs would not display. When they did, and I tried to connect, I would see the connection attempt, but it would not complete the connection. Only the word "saved" would be shown under the SSID name. Then it would automatically try to reconnect, but without success.
I've tried virtually everything I can think of to solve the problem, but I can't connect to WiFi.
All other communications work, i.e., Bluetooth, Data, making and receiving calls. It's ONLY the Wifi that's not working.
Yes, I completely wiped my device and re-installed the original OxygenOS (4.5.14), but that didn't work. I also tried completely wiping the device and then installing that latest OxygenOS v4.5.15, but that didn't solve the problem, either.

So first of all the reason why it is broken is because of the oreo firmware that you flashed earlier. Now what you should do is flash stock recovery and flash the oreo build and boot it up and running. Once you've done that flash the rollback rom (which suppose to downgrade your oreo firmware to nougat firmware). Once you've done it basically it fixes you're wifi issue.

There's a button for that son..
Also the firmware / modem will be the problem, either upgrading or rolling back..either way it'll be the cause.

Okay, let me first answer a couple of questions. Like I said in my first post, I DID flash the original ROM, as well as other OEM OxygenOS ROMs, all without success. Yes, I used the exact same ROM that was working perfectly before the problem. Yes, I also had a FULL Nandroid of the working system, but restoring that also did nothing to solve the problem.
Okay, with that out of the way, I went to a repair shop this morning to try and solve the problem. It was unsuccessful. The technician said it's unlikely to be hardware related because I can still get the phone to recognize all local SSIDs. I simply can't connect to any of them. Just like hallo dare said in his post a few back, when I try to connect to my SSID, it tries to connect for a second or two, and then it just shows "saved" and wifi is disabled.
So, for now I'm still completely stumped.

Okay, I will do exactly what subaash said and report back. I, too, agree that it's probably software related, which is why I'm actively attacking this issue.
Be back as soon as I can.

P.S. "Son?" Hmm, I have a sneaking suspicion that I'm older than you (will be 60 in March).
Success ... maybe?
Well, well. It appears the previous suggestions were correct. So far it's successful, but I haven't quite finished the initial set-up. All I can say is that WiFi is working, and I'm grateful for that.
However, it was a frightening ordeal. At one point I thought my device was bricked, and I didn't know what to do. However, with some thought, I was able to solve the problem.
Good news, though, is that I DID NOT have to revert back to Nougat. I'm now running Oxygen Oreo 8.0.0 Open Beta 2.
I will provide a detailed instructions of what I did a bit later. I simply want to get everything up-and-running, which could take a few hours.
Here's an abbreviated version:
Downloaded Oxygen Oreo 8.0.0 Open Beta 1 from here:
http://downloads.oneplus.net/oneplus-5/oneplus_5_oxygenos_openbeta_1/
Downloaded Stock Recovery from Post #2 here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/official-oxygenos-4-5-2-7-1-1-ota-t3627003
Copied both files above to root of device internal storage
Reboot into TWRP recovery
Flashed stock recovery in TWRP
Reboot into stock recovery
COMPLETELY Wiped the entire system ... absolutely everything ... including internal storage. This is where I had the initial problem. I did not wipe everything, including internal storage, and I ended up with a mixture of jumbled numbers and letters when looking at the file structure.
Using ADB Sideload within the stock recovery, I "moved/flashed" the ROM ZIP to the device
After successful sideload, I said yes to installing the ROM
The ROM then installed and, voila, I'm at the initial set-up screen.
Okay, that's all for now. I'll be back later.
Peter
Format data resolves the problem (at least with me...)
