From what I have seen on the internet I'm not the only one with this problem, but as far as I know, I'm the only nexus 5 owner with this problem. See, two days ago, all of a sudden (I must confess, because the phone often forgets wifi networks, I was using the Wifi password recovery & backup app, but that can't be the problem, I use it all the time), but all of a sudden, after a reboot, my wifi is turned off. I already found that to be strange, but then it became even stranger: when I tried to turn it on, it kept on 'turning it on' but never actually turned it on! (the switch is still dark gray in the 'on' fase). I tried to figure out why it was doing this, the last apps I installed were Tasker, Autovoice and secure settings, so I uninstalled them, no difference. I tried disabeling my xposed framework, no difference. I tried wiping Cache and Dalvik cache, no difference. I accedently (swipe to wipe is dangerous!) completely wiped my phone, but still no difference. Then, using the Nexus Root Toolkit, I reverted back to stock and unrooted. Then finally, my wifi came back on . So I slowly installed everything again (stupid me had no backup) and the wifi kept working for a day.... And till now it's been off, not willing to turn on . It must be some app I installed I guess. I also tried to change kernels but again with no succes... Oh and my mac-adress is also nowhere to be found, is that normal when the wifi is turned off?
I'm sorry for the long personal story, but I would be very grateful if someone had a working idea
tnx in advance guys

I'm running cyanogenmod 11 right now and everything seems to be working fine I really hope it will keep on working

Hey all,
After more than a week with NO WIFI, i have finally figured it out.
Here are the detailed.
ISSUE: After OTA update of 4.4.3 on new nexus 5, the phone was rebooted automatically and after reboot WIFI button was greyed out. It only showed "TURNING ON".
FAILED SOLUTION ATTEMPTS: Following step DID NOT HELP
1. Factory reset
2. Battery drain and recharge after full drain
3. Power off for few hours and restart
4. Whacking the set on palm (yes, whacking, it was a recommended solution on a thread)
5. Opened the handset and checked all the hardware link, every thing was fine
6. Bootloader unlock, recovery installation (TWRP), downgrade to 4.4.2 (downloaded from google's web page)
7. Downgrade to 4.4
8. OTA update from down graded firmware
9. Sideloading the 4.4.3 update on firmware 4.4.2
10. Rooting, and installation of custom ROM (slimKat, Cynaogen mod)
11. Installation of custom kernel (linaro)
12. Flashing of 4.4.2 & 4.4 Radio/Boot images on stock rom of 4.4.3
13. Clean install of 4.4.3 (removing everything from phone except recovery)
14. *#*#4636#*#*, goto wifi and restart.
15. *#*#4636#*#*, wifi state shown "UN-INITIALIZED"
Actual Solution that worked
***** Install Paranoid Android ROM on rooted Nexus 5. The issue is with Kernel , which control the HW/OS communication. Apparently Kernel of this ROM removed the issue (but installation of SlimKat/CyanogenMod/Custom Kernel).
I then restored the backup of stock 4.4.3 from recovery and did a factory reset. Wifi & every thing else works fine now *****
Please Help - Nexus 5 - No WIFI

Hello all, I have developed the same problem on my wife's Nexus 5, some 2 weeks ago, WI-FI failing to turn on, just hangs at 'turning on'.
She had a 5 month old, unrooted Nexus 5 running 4.4.4 and had just added a new WIFI access point.
Initially I thought it may be a hardware issue with WIFI and tried similar fix as is detailed below to my WIFI antenna: (No success)
YouTube (Nexus 5 GPS Signal Antenna Fix)
I installed WIFI fixer app as first poster did which identified a possible software issue within know issues section.
Finally I found the monty possible fix above, thanks BTW, and thought I would give it a go.
I have completed the following actions (good learning curve) but still no WIFI.
Attempted numerous reboots, factory resets and wipes from recovery mode. Ran battery down etc.
Rooted Nexus 5 with windows app, CF-Auto-Root, required windows google driver for nexus 5 though
Installed TWRP recovery
Factory Reset
Installed ROM (pa_hammerhead-4.44-20140722) from XDA
Factory reset
Rebooted
No WIFI
Installed ROM (N5_4.4.4_KTU84P) stock from XDA
Factory reset
Rebooted
Still no WIFI
Do I require to also install a PA GAPPS like (pa_gapps-stock-4.4.4-20140720-signed) with paranoid android?
Do I require to also wipe kernel somehow?
Can anyone advise if I am missing something obvious, exact ROMS to use or a better fix as phone is pretty useless without WIFI?
Thanks alot for any help, knowledge is power but helping may save mankind!
What helped me in the end was flashing Cyanogenmod. It solved all my problems and my wifi never failed again.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I flashed CM and gapps listed below:
cm-11-20140727-NIGHTLY-hammerhead
gapps-kk-20140606-signed
Still no wi-fi with same issue.
Did a restore to stock I installed.
Is there an easy way to check its not just a hardware failure?
I tried catlog but it was just gobbledegook....
That is strange... It may be a hardware issue then, but I don't know for sure since my knowledge doesn't reach that far... Maybe someone out there on the forums know more

I had the same problem and I managed to resolve it eventually. I performed a factory reset and flashed CWM, had the WiFi working intermittently. I then killed Bluetooth Share and folder /data/misc/wifi/, seems to be working fine now...

i have the exact same problem. i tried to do what helped you. after deleting those files, the wifi would actually turn on. it even scans and identifies the signals. but then it doesnt connect. as soon as i tap connect it give me an error "failed to connect to network" and goes back to searching infinitely.
any other thoughts you got about fixing this?

I tried just about every way I could think to fix this issue. Safe mode, factory reset, root, then installed franco kernel, then installed CM11, installed stock 4.4.2 to see if reverting helped. all and wifi still stuck just saying "wifi turning on..."
I think it must be a hardware issue, sending back to LG soon.
I'm having the same issue. Did you ever resolve the problem?
Also ran into this issue today. I'm running CarbonROM. Before this issue started, my phone started to act strangely. It wouldn't wake up from sleep, and needed to be rebooted. My WiFi is currently working, but when I leave the house, it still thinks it's connected to my WiFi at home. It's strange. What seemed to work for me temporarily is to put the phone in airplane mode, reboot, then turn off airplane mode. I also booted into Safe Mode (which didn't work properly, maybe a CarbonROM issue?), then rebooted back normally, and everything seems to work now...
Update 1:
WiFi stopped working again. I did a factory reset, then installed CM11 M9, and WiFi works again. Strange... I hope this isn't a hardware problem. I read some other forums where the motherboard was swapped out.
Update 2:
WiFi stopped working in CM11 after a while. I guess I'll try to switch back to stock.
Update 3:
I did a full reinstall of the stock ROM, including resetting the tamper flags. Now it seems my wifi is working again...
Update 4:
With stock 4.4.4 my WiFi worked for a while, then stopped working. I did a factory reset, and cannot connect to WiFi anymore I think I will have to RMA it. Currently in contact with Google support.
Following. I am suffering with the same problem
help
Is there a solution to this problem.
I tried everything written but nothing worked
Anything new? I'll take care.
WiFi error again
Sorry to hear that is indeed not unusual as I thought.
I have this thread opened: http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...issue-hardware-software-t2856105/post55003889, if you guys think it is a good idea, I can move it to here.
First time, I also did everything you have listed, without success. This time, with a second Nexus 5, I'm very disappointed with Google/LG... No answer from the support in three days.

I've just spoke to Google's support team and they told me it is a hardware problem. It seems I am terrible unlucky to get this problem twice with different devices (same model). Well, I'm giving it a shot and asking for my third replacement. Supposedly, it is the fair way to go. I strongly advice if you got the same problem to ask Google for a replacement.
Thanks to all that tried to help.
I've had the same problem. I was trying to fix, that my N5 was not automatically connecting to my AP.
I modified the wpa_supplicant.cfg and after that as an effect nothing seemed to work.
The Wifi stuck on *as the thread already names it* on 'turning on'.
I deleted the whole wpa supplicant after making a backup, so that I can keep all those WPA, WEP, WPS-keys, ... etc.
Restart -> done fixing !
:victory:
Cheers
Had the same issue yesterday on Mahdi with Uber-Kernel, a cachewipe solved this temporarily. Today when i got home after work it just didn't want to turn on wifi, deleted these folders, did a clean flash, nothing of those methods work. Now i'm trying a fullwipe with factory images, hope it does work. Already sent an e-mail to Google Support, just in case they know about it and get my fifth RMA-device.
edit: still doesn't work after flashing factory images.

Any problem with WiFi is a kernel related issue...the WiFi files are in the kernel...so I would flash back to stock cause it seems like a file got screwed up somewhere

I've had this issue since yesterday on stock 4.4.4. A search of the Google support forums or Twitter will show posts from people having the same issue, all from the last few days. I've done a wipe and flashed the factory image and neither fixed it.
I had the 'Can't Establish a reliable connection to the server' issue on my Xperia SP [C5302, Android 4.3, Build - 12.1.A.1.205, and rooted, of course]. So, I tried factory reset and it didn't work until I installed Lucky Patcher and reset the hosts file to original state. Now, Google Play works.
But there's another problem. On the first boot after reset, wifi worked fine. But ever since I rebooted it, wifi has stopped working. The wifi slider is kinda unresponsive (have a look at the screenshots I've attached).
Does anyone have any solution?
Restored using recovery. Problem solved.
Okay, after trying many different things in vain, finally restored my phone using an old backup I had. Done!
Same issue with any JB rom used with multirom as secondary rom. Searching for resolution please...
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.

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
I have an LG G2 ( d802 - International) which has some issues with wifi and Bluetooth. On my phone mac addresses(both wifi and Bluetooth) are not showing up. It happened yesterday when I was using my phone which was running cm13, all of a sudden the wifi stopped so at first I tried to turn it off and on again, which didnt seem to work because the wifi didnt turn on (I dont really need bluetooth as of my daily life). So I rebooted my phone and the problem persisted. So i decided to factory reset with TWRP ( I normally reset once every so often to speed up my phone again , and at this point my phone was getting really slow). Which I did, but then something wired happened... The upgrading android dialog box came up after the reset and it showed ~140 apps. But normally that wouldnt happen after a reset. I didnt mind that and checked to see if the wifi worked again, yet no luck. So I went for a full format of data, which also popped up with the upgrading android. So I thought maybe it was to do with the rom, and decided to try out some other rom. So i had 2 roms on my sdcard at that time, Dorimanx-V9.7-LP and the stock lg rom. At first when i tried the Dorimanx rom it didnt work and wasnt booting right so I was not bothered to fix and I went for the stock rom which worked.. and it happened again... upgrading android dialog box. So i started researching and saw it mention that this could be a cause of bootloaders not being the right version, now i do not know a lot about bootloaders so I couldnt really do anything. I tried to update twrp with auto rec ( i got the apk thru usb from pc to phone), which worked yet still no fix.
*Seen some other threads and tried the following with no success*
Deleting the contents of : /data/misc/wifi/
Factory resetting
Details:
Lg G2 (D802)
Wifi and bluetooth not working ( No mac addresses)
Running :Stock Lollipop rom for lg
Rooted
Twrp version : 2.8
Any Help would be appreciated, Thanks in advance! :good:
So I have had this issue for a few months now. A month ago, I had got my wifi working by flashing and unbricking it using Msmdownload tool. But recently,it stopped working. I've basically tried the following to fix it:
1. Downgrading to stock Android 8,9 and 10 using Msmdownload tool.
2. Using Mauronofrio's fastboot tool.
3. Flashing Android 10: Almost all the roms on A10 (including xxx NoLimits). Pixen OS seemed to fix it once but later on I think I flashed a different kernel and my wifi has never worked since.
4. Flashing Android 11 : Almost all the new roms out there.
5. Resetting network and wifi settings.
6. Restarting phone in safe mode and trying to connect. Also tried to reset while in safe mode.
7. Wiping dalvik cache.
8. Clean update even by deleting system and vendor
I know that it isn't a hardware issue because recently when I flashed OOS 10.3.5, the wifi icon showed a question mark next to it, indicating that the wifi was still alive.
I don't know what the reason is but I just can't get the wifi to turn on in the first place,let alone searching for wifi.
Can somebody please help me?
Hey, I think I just had the same problem, you can read about it here.
Manually copying all partitions as described by the user Schwaus in this post (under EDIT 2) helped.
Good Luck
