(Solved) wifi broken after build 59 update - Shield Q&A

Flashed the new build 59 today and my WiFi broke. It stays on "WiFi is turning on" but never actually does. I would prefer not to do a factory reset and I have already tried to delete the dhcp and WiFi folders in data/misc. Any thoughts?
Update: flashed the system.IMG file through adb and it kept my data/fixed the issue.

[Q] Wifi Not working

I had installed the Wireless N update so my phone can get Wireless N I then did a speed test and got about 11 MBPS then when I Flashed it back to Normal used the "Disable_Wireless_N.zip" my Wifi would not turn on.. it says "error" and doesn't explain why..?? Also After i disabled the Wireless N my tethering stopped working aswell.. I wiped and re-flashed the WImax and the Enable_wireless_N.zip. i also restored nand and re-flashed the kernel.. and still my Wifi wont turn on.. What can i do to fix it?
check if the wpa_supplicant.conf file (data/misc/wifi) is not read only . a chmod 777 on that file might just fix the wifi error

WiFi module dead?

So one day my One S C2 turned off because battery ran out... I connected it to the charger and tried to turn it on but it got stuck in a bootloop. It showed to boot animation once and then restarted. I tried factory reset, reinstalling rom, reverting back to stock and nothing helped until I installed a rom and forgot to install the correct kernel. It finally turned on but well its obvious that the wifi, bt, hotspot didnt work. Could it be that the wifi module is dead so when it was with the correct kernel it just crashed trying to load up wifi?

Moto G XT1032 Wifi Won´t Turn On

Hi,
I have a Moto G XT1032 and was just browsing the internet the other day when the WIFI randomly turned off. I went into settings to turn it back on but when I toggle it to on it automatically toggles back to off.
It also says that MAC address is not available and IP address is not available in the advanced settings.
WCNSS_qcom_wlan_factory_nv.bin is still in the persist folder.
I´ve tried installing CM12.1 ROM but WIFI still doesn´t work.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
Dan

I also faced the same issue 2 weeks before. I fixed it by doing Restoring the stock firmware (Not factory reset). (Take complete backup before doing this procedure.) See this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2700502

Thanks for the advice, I tried it but unfortunately no success.
However, I then checked the permissions on the persist folder and the read and write boxes under "other" were unticked. I ticked them and voila; I can turn the wifi on!
Anddd its broken again...
So my wifi stopped working pretty much the moment I sent the previous post.
I´ve also tried flashing the stock kernels but no good..
Anymore suggestions?
Thanks

Nexus 5 wifi stuck on turning on

I was using my rooted Android 6.0 with that kernel chainfire uploaded here on xda with the supersu 2.52 beta, and it was working fine for a few days until my wifi started to stop working, turn off, then turn on after a few seconds, lag, reboot, turn off, on, off, on until it stopped working. Putting the phone to airplane mode then back to normal or safe reboot could get it work for 10 minutes and not every time.
Solutions I have tried and didn't work:
Reflashed android 6 without wiping data
Factory Reset android 6
Flash 5.1.1 with wiping data
Clear Dalvik Cache
echo -ne the .macaddr file
delete the wpa_supplicant files
Nothing worked. When I dial *#*#4636#*#*, wifi state shown "UN-INITIALIZED"
What to do! I need to fix my wifi and can't afford a repair shop, and I'm out of warranty and outside the US so can't return it.

I just started to have the exact same issue last night. Wifi won't come on and if it does my phone reboots. There is a thread about it on Google Nexus help forums: https://productforums.google.com/fo...ification#!msg/nexus/yx5kGasv2lE/Pbx5KNQjCAAJ

Nexus 5 WiFi problem with Marshmallow
Hello, after updating my Nexus 5 to Android 6.0 the Wi-fi is no longer working. It keeps trying to connect but never actually turns on the Wi-Fi or show any networks. I've turned it on in Safe Mode and it still has the same issue.
Please help!

I tried that but didnt' help. Almost every time I turn the wifi on my N5 eventually reboots. I did have wifi connect for a few minutes today to my 5Ghz wifi but then failed for no reason.
I am guessing the wifi chip has burnt out or its some other hardware/software problem. My N5 is a day 1 shipped phone and had no other issues with it. Such a bummer....

So its probably not the same issue. Did you tried all bands? Is it doing the same thing on different rooter brands?

Did you tried the option in the developer menu I was talking in my post above, it fixed my wifi problem caused by Android 6.0
this problem is severe
i have Nexus 5
Since ive updated to stock 6.0.1 (Build M4B30Z) my wifi has stopped working completely
Things ive tried
- ROOT, delete wifi persist folder (Wifi works but requires restart once wifi stops working)
- Lineage OS (Wifi works here but requires multiple restarts)
- Revert to Stock versions 4.4.4 and 5.1
- Heat gun over Wifi Chip (doesnt work at all) may be ive done it the wrong way
any suggestions to restore my phone

Wi Fi keeps turning off

I'm running the lastest version . When I turn on my wifi, it connects then just shuts itself off. Played around with some of the wifi settings, that did nothing to solve it, did a network reset and still nothing. I did a factory reset and it worked right for about a day and now cutting off again. How can I get this to stay on. Especially when I have an upcoming trip and I'll need wifi.
Thanks
Assuming that you already did many things, try to flash the stock rom with fastboot, try to find the rom with a .bat file that flashed everything
