HELP MY PHONE CAN'T CONNECT TO WIFI!!!!!! - General Questions and Answers

So I just finished rooting my OnePlus 7t Pro and when it turned back on it won't connect to the wifi. Everything worked fine before but now when I flip the wifi switch to "on" it plays the animation but stays in the "off" setting. I've tried to look online for help but everything is from years ago and no longer relevant on android 11. Help please this is my first root attempt.

1. Wipe /cache partition
2. Forget the Wi-Network ( means remove Wi-Fi network from saved networks list ) and reconnect
3. Switch off Bluetooth

I've tried to turn off the phone then press all 3 buttons to get it into fastboot but instead it just does the bootloader thing again and wifi still doesn't work. When I was installing a driver on it I couldn't find the one that matched my build number exactly so I got the next closest thing. Could this have something to do with it?

It should be obvious to you that when the phone is started in Fastbot mode (AKA Booloader mode), the Android OS has not been started at the same time, so Wi-Fi cannot work.

I know that but after going through bootloader mode it restarts like normal and goes back to the home screen. At this point I go to settings and proceed to switch the wifi on and the switch does the "switch on animation" while still staying "off". I did in fact delete all previously known wifi information and managed to wipe the cache partition.

Lost wifi after 3.1, help

Hey,
I recently flashed BRD's 3.1 zip's and now ive seemed to have lost my wifi :/ if im just viewing my open network it shows full bars but when i go to connect it drops to 1 and just cycles through the connection process without ever finishing
I followed the instructions to the t and remembered to wipe / factory reset
I also went through the steps once more to see if the reflash would work but its just stuck on the connection to wifi network page
maybe i have a bad download???
EDIT: reflashed onneee more time and it seems to be working apps are restoring now
any help would be much appreciated
thanks

This is what worked for me:
1) Go into Settings > Wireless & networks < Wi-Fi settings.
2) Press on the current network and select "Forget" to delete it.
3) Press Add-Wi-Fi network, then manually enter all of your info. Don't forget to enter the Security type & password.
4) Touch Save. It should then connect and stay connected.
EDIT: Oops just saw you resolved it by re-flashing. However the method I described worked for me when mine could not connect to my network (which I originally configured during the installation setup). This happened to me more than once, and on more than one device too.

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.
My logs: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-9FuBmRk_7QWll1NTRnenNsYXc/view?usp=sharing
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

Need Help : Phone restarts itself !

I have SM-920V , verizon branded galaxy s6 . my problem is , when i turn on phone , it restarts itself...
I've tried everything , reseting/erasing , flashing firmware with odin , flashing and updating firmware with KIES . It still same , restarts before or on activation screen and can't past it .
It's turned on only for minute or less and then restarts , bu when it's in download mode i can flash firmware without any restarts or so... (more then hour)
So any suggestions?
try this, turn off wifi as soon as your phone boots up.
i can't , because settings menu is not acceptable on activation screen
Also it's not connected to my wifi network (i've mac filtered network)
I had similar issue with wifi being the culprit.
As soon as it boots up, wipe down notification tray and disable wifi toggle. See if that works.
If nothing works, take it back where you bought it for replacement.

Anyone have them?

Can't setup device - Unfortunately settings has stopped

I have a 3rd gen Moto G I've not used in a while and wanted to get it set up. I'd previously factory-reset the device and was going to sell it, turns out it's not worth a great deal so I wanted to use it as a spare.
When I turn the device on I get the green/blue screen to choose the language, I click the yellow next button. The device says "turning on wifi" and stays like that, eventually it will say "Unfortunately settings has stopped" and take me back to the beginning.
I've tried:
Putting my sim in hoping I could skip the wifi - 'skip' is greyed out
Doing a factory reset from recovery
Restarting the device is safe mode
None of the above worked. Is the device bricked? Is there anyway to flash a ROM without having access to the OS on the device?

You can get to the bootloader, so you can flash a factory image via fastboot. Look in the General section, there is a how to flash thread and a firmware thread.

boot-loop with very low battery

Hi!
I hope (VERY MUCH) that I must not through away my new bought XA2 ultra, after trying to install lineageOS just following the tutorial on the official page!
I activated the USB-debuging
opened the bootloader
seted the phone to the fastboot mode
booted the TWRP
formated, wiped everything
installed the LineageOS 16 (first time in sideload way, second time directly install on the sd card)
then i recognized, that there is no possibility for wlan (it could not be turned on, MAC-Adress was just something like 02:00:00 ...)
tried then the official SU-app (so installed it over TWRP on the sd card)
after that device hanged while booting (showing the circle, going on the line)
i formated everything, wiped in TWRP
installed just the lineageOS 16
now i have another problem:
the battery live is at the last red bar
if i let the device powering on the USB it starts after a while on itself and boot to the system
then its crashes to blackscreen (with red dot on)
after a while it starts again... and so on.
so i enter the system and then it crashes after some time.
i don't really understand, if the device is charging, while its in the system
the same issue was, as i was in the TWRP, it crashes while installing if i'm not quick enough.
if i let the device just lying on the table, it doesn't start by itself, but it also can not charge the battery.
Don't understand the problem and hope very much, that the new bought thing must not end up in the trash. :crying:
regards
layla
#Edit:
i read everywhere about wiping cache, but i saw and see not possiblity, because there is no option with "cache". I have davlik/art cache, system and data (by the way, it sais, that it can not find the data folder), but i have no folder option with "cache".
The problem seems to be in the missing possibility for the phone to charge.
It seem, that it was possible to charge it over the fastboot mode, but the charge notification sign shows just always 50%.
For now it doesn't crashes, i think until the battery is very low again.
So the actual problem seems to be the problem with charging (i tested the direct connection with the wall socket, with different cable AND laptop USB connection) and the problem with Wifi.
If I connect it just to the socket in the wall, it shows me no connection at all. If I connect it to PC, it shows me a connection, but it don't charge (just if I turn it off and put it to fastboot mode)
after flashing older firmware (oreo) 50.1.A.4.76_R1A and installing LOS 16 again, the issue with wifi and battery stays. So i can not charge the battery in the OS (just in fastboot mode) and i can not activate wifi.
The solution here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/fix-wifi-connecting-mac-address-t3891628 doesn't work for me, because i can not find any persist.img file in the firmware folder.
some ideas?
this firmware fixes the battery problem: H4213_Commercial and Journalists_1313-9995_50.1.A.5.59_R1A
but the wifi problem stays.
very easy solution for the wifi problem!
Just start the original Android (oreo) BEVORE installing the LineageOS, activate wifi there and THEN restart to TWRP, format, wipe and install the LOS. Then everything works well!
