[Q] Wifi won´t activate on stock 4.2.2/cm 10.1

Hi Guys,
I have a problem with my nexus 4. I wanted to use cyanogenmod instead of the stock rom, so i rooted my device yesterday and flashed the latest stable build of cm (10.1.2).
Everything worked fine, except for the wifi; it won´t turn on. It get´s stuck on the "turning on wifi"-page, wtih the button in off-position and saying "turning on wifi".
I´ve read some threads were people had the same problem, but nothing seems to fix it. I made a factory reset, wiped cache and dalvik, fixed permissions, but in didn´t work on cm 10.1.2.
So i tried a different build, cm 10.1.1 stable, but the problem persisted. I tried the same things I did on the 10.1.2, but it did not help. So I tried using the latest nightly, but that didn´t help either.
I thought i go back to the stock build to fix it, because it still worked after I rooted the device and still had the stock on it, but unfortunately that did not fix it. I made a factory reset, and wiped cache and dalvik again, but it just won´t work.
Long story short, i don´t know what to do now I rooted and flashed several devices before and never had a problem that did persist even nafter i tried multiple buidls of cm and wiping everything everytime; so if anybody has any idea where this problem comes from and how i could fix it that would be really great

Im having a similar problem, i think we have to flash a different radio ?

Still nothing
Flash a different radio? What excactly does that mean? I must admit I have not heard of that :laugh:
By the way, I just unrooted my device and relocked the bootloader, but that didn´t fix the problem either.

Stock CM Kernel? If so, try flashing kernels with prima drivers. If the problem persists, I guess it may be hardware. On another note, do you have bluetooth or GPS on? Try turning those off and try connecting.

I just tried the franco R163 with prima drivers, that did not fix it. But, speaking of the bluetooth, i´ve just noticed that the same problems occurrs with that. I trie to turn it on an it stays at "turning on bluetooth" without actually turning on. Maybe that helps to know what the problem is.
What other kernel with prima drivers would you recommend?
Edit:
I´ve read through a few threads on that bluetooth-issue, which apparently is more common than my wifi issue. I was wondering if my wifi-issue could have something to do with the bluetooth, because other users who have said bluetooth issue found their bluetooth temporarily on after reboot; then after a while the bluethooth issue appeared again.
In my case the bluetooth doesn´t appear to be on, but i was thinking that maybe it is, but the software fails to display that and that that is interfering with my wifi.
Could that be a possibility?

Out of the box my nexus 4 refused to connect to my TPLINK wr941ND router, wifi was set months ago, nexus 7 works as charm same with evo 3d and others. I thought wtf and turned on wifi on broadband modem, it showed up on nexus 4.... And suddenly network from router poped up as well. I switched off wifi on modem and nexus lost wifi from router. At this moment I went for a walk... When I come back done factory reset, reboot the router, no effect. Changed settings from WPA2/QSS to WPA without QSS - no change, then I changed channel from #13 (best in my location, all my neighbours using #1 and #6) to #1 and instantly nexus found network.... So it seems that sumthing is apparently with wifi, when I changed channel back to #13 it drops the connection and says that networtk is out of range. So finally I checked all the channels from 1st to 13th and it works from #1 to #10, 11 till 13 dunt work. Maybe this info will help sumone with simillar problems.

SM-G901F WiFi Pemanently Switch Off

Hi All
I have an issue with my S5 Plus (G901F) a few days ago I rooted, TWRP and installed the stable MM ROM from Tkkg1994 and have been happily using my phone. This morning while I was opening the Gmail app the device rebooted and when it came back up I noticed WiFi was not on. Pressing the quick menu WiFi button turns it green for a second before going back to disabled. Likewise going to into settings - WFi and using the slider does not work either, it just goes back to off.
So far, I have wiped ART/Dalvik, reflashed BL and Modem, factory reset. Wiped the whole device and redid everything including diffrerent ROM's on the same BL/Modem (CPE1) and have the same result.
Everything else works, just not WiFi, I should also add I have tried with and without the SD card and disabling/enabling other radios (GPS/BT) in different combos has not worked either.
Has anyone come across this and can they suggest next steps?
I'm currently downloading the stock ROM that came with my phone to see if that helps.
Cheers

Stock ROM did not help.

Did you find solution? I have recently started to have same issue with same device.

Probably not. The S5 seems to suffer a lot by such issues. I bought mine 3 months ago in a shop. It worked for about 2 months very well. Then all of the sudden it became hot in my pocket so i had to quickly remove the battery. After this the device suffered by ocessional reboots. Nothing helped. Even trying to reflash the stock firmware by trying several Pit´s.
Finally got a replacement as obviously either the RAM or the CPU got defective. The other phone lasted for one week as the wifi module got defective there. Nothing helped either. Now it´s my 3th S5. This weekend my flashlight and camera stopped working. Fortunally got this fixed by reflashing the stock firmware.
Honestly I like the phone but it seems to be quite buggy. Never got such problems with my old S4 and am thinking about going back to the older device.

dude try flashing 4 files flash through odin

Bluetooth & Nougat SIM Card Issues

Hey XDA peeps!
I recently got meself a G4 Plus (32/3 GB, XT1643), and everything has been totally fantastic, except for this: connecting to a Bluetooth device is almost impossible, and using any 7.1 ROM causes SIM errors.
I've been able to connect to my Android Wear watch, but that's about it. I got Motorola's VerveLoop+ headphones too, and it connects to everything but my G4+. I tried multiple things, reflashing the modem file (NON-HLOS.bin), flashing stock ROM, flashing multiple ROMs from the forums (CM, RR, BS, AOKP), none of them fixed the problem.
I'm currently using RR 5.7.4 (MM), and 5.8.0 (N) recently came out. I tried updating but it doesn't read my SIM after the process. I tried flashing the 7.0 "soak" ROM or whatever it is, but nothing, same issue over and over again. I tried a full format and flashing RR alone through TWRP but same thing.
So, what do? Any help on either would be very much appreciated.

I have multiple Bluetooth devices and connections all day long and I'm on RR 5.8.0 atm but no issues like you happened to me ever(XT1642, MM stock modem). Maybe with flashing you messed up the modem so sim detection etc. Is gone? Did you tried to separately flash the M modem?

Tried it before and tried it just now, and still nothing... Right now I'm more concerned about the Bluetooth thing, its bumming me out. I reverted back to RR 5.7.4 from a backup, but even on 5.8.0, Bluetooth wouldn't work.

Anyone know what to do?

So if I understand correctly Bluetooth has never worked properly for you ever since you bought the phone?
If that's the case and it doesn't work even with stock firmware you should consider hardware fault.
I would put stock back and try to get it serviced.

No what happened is that after flashing RR, the thing stopped working. I tried reverting back and it's the same. It's not that Bluetooth isn't functional, I can connect to my laptop and my Android Wear watch, but it won't connect to my Bluetooth headset (the VerveLoop+ as I mentioned)

If it was working with stock, you should be able to get it back to work.
I would focus in making it work again in stock.
Make sure you flashed the right version for your model and so on.
STOCK

Well thing is, I tried doing that before, after flashing RR the first time, Bluetooth stopped functioning properly, be it in CM or stock, same thing.
Note: I was able to fix the weird SIM thing with 7.1, but Bluetooth issues still persist.

A bit off-topic how did you fix the weird SIM thing with 7.1?

I don't really know, I was looking for a workaround and I backed up my RR 5.7.4 ROM, then when I hit restore it wouldn't work, so I flashed RR 5.8.0 just to see what will happen and it got fixed... Really odd how that worked...
Edit: Never mind it, it went back to how it was after restoring my backup properly. I tried updating but it didn't work. For 7.1 issues, I'll just wait until the official update and flash the modem file for it, I really hope it works.

Can't turn wifi on...

Hi, I'm running lineage os, I can't turn wifi on, it is just saying "Turning WiFi on"

Prob a bug. My n5 had similar issue.... Turned out board was bad. I think the wifi chip had a broken solder joint. Because it would say "turning on" and never complete. I reflashed a hundred ROMs, and other recoveries including CAF. I think this happens to a lot of devices after they've been dropped 30 or 40 times there are small micro fractures each time until it causes a break in the connection somewhere.
But you just gave me a good idea I think I'm going to try to Reflow the board in the old oven

Did you have the problem before flashing Lineage? If not its almost certainly a bug in the rom. If they have a support thread you could try getting help there or you could flash a different rom and see if the problem persists.

sorry it took me so long, still having the problem, and no, it was perfectly fine until lineage.

This has happened to me about 7 or 8 times running 7.1.1 lineage. Look and see what your mac address is under configure wifi, mine changes to 02:00:00:00:00:00 when this happens to me. I have found posts about the problem but no real solution. The only way I have gotten it working again is by wiping the data partition and doing a clean flash, or flashing a backup I made while it was working. It drives me mad, I thought it might be a hardware problem at first because it started with a replacement device, but I feel like it must be software as I can fix it with a clean flash.

I doubt this is a bug. Are you on the latest nightly? If you are running TWRP, start by wiping both dalvik and cache and reboot. There are LOS dedicated forums here, and this type of Wi-Fi issue would be a complete bust and I just don't see it. It could also be with how you installed LOS. The instructions are clear about fully wiping the device beforehand. I have been running LOS on my N7 for months, updating with weeklies and have never had a WiFi issue. Reddit has some decent forums you could ask around in as well.

ive been running it on my device since about november, worked until about a month ago, just been using data, tried wiping and i did a full wipe when i installed it. I went back to my january 30th build (oldest build i still had on my pc), running fine. No problems.

Here is the January 30th build, ready to flash with TWRP. Hope you have the same luck as me.

Redmi k20 gets stuck while trying to play sound

Since Friday my device is restarting automatically with error DEVICE CLOSED UNEXPECTEDLY
I tried hard reset went to service centre they did an software upgrade and then a downgrade to 12.0.3 from 12.0.5 but nothing worked
And now when i try to play any sound whether through YouTube , Music etc it is just crashing
Even the Sound settings are not opening and i couldn't connect to calls either and volume keys are also not working

Seems like hardware problem

But other things are working

Are you sure they did upgrade and downgrade?
Was it full wipe?
It recommend to flash custom ROM and see if sth cbange

Yes they did downgrade from 12.0.5 to 12.0.3
And I had full wiped from recovery 2-3 times
And yesterday I noticed one more thing my front pop-up camera was working fine but when I enabled sound effect for it
It just freezes

Ok, so that's officially India MIUI issue
try this
This is ultra battery saving option related and they're working on an update

i have already tried all these but nothing works and how my device is stuck in fastboot mode while trying to flash stock rom through mi flash tool

You mentioned earlier that phone is boiting, but it restarts often.
What error in miflash?

Yes it was booting then only when I tried to flash miui11 through mi flash tool it got stuck in fastboot mode
Mi flash was giving crclist error everytime
Anyways I have successfully flashed miui 11 through twrp but the above problems are still there

I had exactly the same issue with this device.
Then tried 5/6 custom roms of android 11.
Nothing worked, every os had it's own issue.
Then lastly I've installed PIXEL EXPERIENCE 10 PLUS rom and the phone started to work fluid.

I have a same problem. Whenever accessing sound, if freezes and restarts! Went to Mi center. They said they have to replace the motherboard . Actually it's one of the IC that's malfunctioning... Here's a video -

Let e know If there's any ROM that gets around this issue

Nope the audio issues cannot be fixed with any software. I think it's caused due to some IC failure.
You would have to change the motherboard to fix the issue or you have to be a professional electronics engineer who knows and have the equipment for micro soldering.

The same issue was encountered with me also. I am in great distress right now. Tried more than 30+ ROMs (including recover, fast boot, custom, and stock), but nothing helps.
IF you find anything please update here.. THat’ll be a great help indeed!!
