Can't find any new wifi? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Having a weird issue with my phone.
Running 4.4.2 with Francos kernel, and for some reason my WiFi doesn't detect new wifi hotspots. Example : I push scan, and nothing new shows up. However, if I manually write the SSID, it connects.
What can I do to fix it?

Data malfunctioning

So I recently rooted my device via Odin and attempted to flash Zeus ROM 6 through cwm. There was an error with the flash as the ROM did not load properly. I reset my phone in the cwm menu so my phone got a fresh factory reset. However, my hspa+ will not activate, although I do get a signal. What should I do?? I have tried another factory reset and turning airplane mode on and off. Still no luck 
My infuse is running 2.3.6 if that even makes a difference.
This is a repost since the last was not answered.

Doing a factory reset in recovery is not the same as puttin your phone back to stock...your still running Zeus...
Just use heimdall or Odin and go back to stock

But the thing is, my phone isn't running the Zeus ROM. It's still 2.3.6 with 2.6.35.7 kernel.
I look at my mobile network type and it says it's UMTS versus the hsdpa(or something like that)that it was using earlier. It also reads my mobile network state as disconnected but is still in service (just cant use data based applications such as Facebook)
Should I still try to unroot my phone??
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Doc, It is not uncommon for the mobile state to say disconnected. I am on my sgs3 at the moment, it says mine is disconnected, yet all is well.

There is a misunderstanding... my network state says my device is disconnected. I am not able to access any app that requires data use such as the play store, Facebook, reddit etc.... All say there is no internet connection and simply won't run.

No internet access even after factory reset

My friend just gave my brother her Optimus V and according to her a few days ago it stopped getting WiFi access. She had it activated, but won Iphones. He says it was just working on our friends secure network. At our house it connects to WiFi, but has no internet access. I did a reset. Didn't change. Got a new ROM, changed the SD card, wiped data, cache, dalvick, installed new ROM and gaps. Still no internet access. Its an open WiFi which my computer and phone are working fine on

Does it work properly when connected to some other wifi network?
Yes. It works on all others except this one. But everything else works on still. And it used to work on it. Its not our own. Its one we pick up around.

So, do you have access to the router for the problematic wifi network?

Nope. I don't know who's it is but its our main internet connection. And if I had not been miss informed that it did work on others except this one I might not have bothered anyone with it. But if anyone else can figure it out it would still be help full. Every other device can connect to it and this one used to. And it can connect to any other network

Wait, so it does or it does not work on other wifi networks?

The optimus works on every other network except this one. It used to though. And any other device can connect to the network

Ok, so if you've deleted cache and all that, and you deleted & re-added the network, and even reflashed a ROM and it still doesn't work, I'd say the next step is the router, which you (apparently) don't have access to. I would like to reset the router, and even check its settings, ideally.
Have you tried a different ROM, or flashing back to stock?
Use this file to fix the issue!

I wouldn't flash that oldbbfix.zip. Your issue is a wifi one, and that file may make you lose cell signal.
Well luckily we don't have to worry about signal just Wi-Fi. Still no go yet. I'm gonna hopefully access the router. Me and my friend did it once

You can root it and get a customROM. That would fix it.

If you didn't mod the system files then the original owner did. To resolve, flash stock factory 4.4.2 images. If you did a factory reset when you got the phone, and don't want to start over, flash the img files one at a time with fastboot (excluding userdata.img).
If you don't know how to do that, check out the stickies (I think in general). There is a very detailed thread there.
The phone was brand new when I got it. I believe it said update ready for download when I did the factory reset.. Now it just says that..

you can take the ota update through wi-fi only...
no need to reset. but i prefer to do it to prevent any system app from crashing and to have a fresh firmware.
All you had to do was connect to wifi. That update required you to do that. "Via wifi only".

Oh. Thats odd, but I guess you got it working, so thats good.
Your screen shot shows that your not connected to Wi-Fi. It says you have to be connected to Wi-Fi to update.

SGH-I317 on SkyNote 10, lost root, WiFi

Hi all,
I recently upgraded my Note 2 to Android 4.3 using the SN10 ROM, and everything went smoothly with the exception that I haven't been able get root back (flashing the SuperSU 1.8 update does nothing) and Wi-Fi (the modem zip did nothing when I flashed it from TWRP, and the instructions say to load a file with Odin, except Odin cannot load .img files!)
Any help would be appreciated. I'm a computer engineer and I've been using custom ROMs since my HTC iPAQ PDA so I'm not a noob when it comes to this things.
TIA,
Erik

Forgot to add that I already tried clearing caches, etc... with no success. Wi-Fi toggle goes to on and then flips itself back off instantly.

Ok so reinstalled SuperSU from the Play store, turns out that one was a PEBKAC error. Any leads on how I can fix my WiFi though? Thanks!!!

Bump? Anyone? I would rather ask directly in the ROM's thread but I have to get past the 10 post limit first.
Sent from my SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
Also, every time I reboot the screen shows "Android is upgrading". Makes me wonder if I need to do something to make it finish before my WiFi will work again?
