WiFi/BT not working, MAC address set to 02:00:..:00 - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, a few days ago I left my phone downloading some stuff with Chrome for night. When I woke up I realised that WiFi doesn't work. I checked WiFi settings and noticed that my MAC address is 02:00:00:00:00:00. If I put WiFi on, it shows just "Turning on...". I did Factory Reset but it helped after a few hours, not immediately. A few days have passed and today I have the same problem. Now nothing want to work: Factory Reset, flashing stock ROM using both .raw and .zip, I tried even flashing RR. I found some "tricks" that could help me but they don't work I found two files with good-looking MAC but I don't know what to do next. Is there any option to restore old MAC? Thanks in advance for any help.

[Q] Wifi won't connect

The battle so far...
Earlier today I was just using my phone as usual, couldn't remember which app I was using, it froze and suddenly rebooted. When the lock screen came up, after 10 seconds or so, it rebooted again! In the next dozen reboots, I tried many things in that 10 seconds window, but nothing worked. So I went into recovery and did factory reset.
After reset, it came up fine, but couldn't connect to my works EAP wifi, stucks at obtaining IP. I thought it was just some wifi issue. I got home and tried the wifi, still doesn't work, stuck at obtaining IP address! Did google search and people with other android phones suggest factory reset (which I did earlier), so I reset again, wifi still doesn't work. Did some search in XDA GN forum and couple people suggest rebooting router, did that but still same thing!
Any other suggestions? I can't believe I'm having so many issues with latest official Google phone!
EDIT: it was all working before it first froze and rebooted. it was stock 4.0.2 yakju
EDIT 2: got frustrated and used GN toolkit to reflash stock 4.0.2 image, working again...

WiFi not turning on?

Ok so a couple of days ago I installed a 4.0 ready radio on my galaxy s2 and then went on to install Jedi Knight 6 ROM (4.0.4 and radio is UVMC6) and after installation everything was working fine.. I was messing around for a while.. it worked today, I shut my phone off to charge it up real quick, and when I turned it back on my WiFi would not connect. Well not necessarly connect.. it just wont even turn on. When I go into settings and click WiFi, it just sits there saying, Turning WiFi on, and never changes.. I can't seem to imagine what could have happened to it, and I really dont wanna have to reinstall the ROM again because i just spent hours getting this one all set up to my liking...
Anyone got any ideas?
EDIT: BTW, I have tried many things.. Tried airplane mode to disable everything then turn it back on, obviously tried rebooting the phone, i have tried wiping cache in CWM recovery and also tried fix permissions in recovery (another topic said to try those..)
Nothing has worked so far, i'm about to try reflashing my radio, see if that works.. but I really really dont want to have to reflash my whole ROM.. So if anyone has any other ideas please help, i'll edit if the radio works..
EDIT 2: Reflashing the radio did nothing.. it's really wierd, the data, bt, gps.. all of it works fine, it's just the WiFi that's frozen turning on... cant get it to stop turning on and can't get it to actually turn on..
EDIT Final: Ok well, i guess nobody knows what might have been going on.. so I just wound up reflashing my ROM, which obviously fixed it.. i just had to lose all that time spent setting everything up... But oh well.. Kinda sucks nobody even tried to help..

+1 I'm going through the same thing now
I have been having this same issue as well. It started out as stock happening sporadically. One thread suggested rooting and removing my account. Problem still occurring. Tried flashing multiple ROMs and now WiFi hasn't connected at all always stuck at turning on. I have tried clear cache, fix permissions, as well as reinstalling ROM dirty and with factory reset. I'm hoping this isn't hardware failure because I just bought this phone used but it seems to be a reoccurring problem with others as well. Any NEW suggestions not given from quick Google/xda search?

I'd suggest to check your Wireless Access Point (modem or router) wireless settings for security, check and see if it's set to use WPA/WPA2, which is common on some modems/routers, change it to either WPA or WPA2 (preferred) not both, it's a known issue with WiFi networks and having it set to using both, I had the same problem before with my phone connecting to my WiFi.
Also if you use MAC Address Filtering on the modem/router, you should disable/clear that and let phone re-connect before enabling mac filtering again.

The problem I am having is not that it won't connect to a particular network. Wifi will not initialize on the device at all and is stuck in "Turning On..." state. I found more and more posts where people ended up having to send in to Samsung so I spoke with them and even though I purchased the phone used its thankfully still under warranty and they will be replacing it. The did not confirm whether or not it was a true known device issue but were quick to file the exchange for me.
sigh, me too!
Just started having this problem on 4.3.1
great.
In my case, I had to wipe system and data before reinstalling my ROM.
Though the only reason it was happening to me was because Beanstalk 4.4.2 didn't want to get past the splash screen when I tried to install it so I downgraded back to ICS 4.0.4 without wiping. Good luck getting this issue fixed. Also another kernel might fix thingz for you if your current one does not like your device.
I have a similar problem. After a while, WiFi gets disconnected. If I go in settings - wifi, i get the message "unfortunately, settings has stopped" and I can't get WiFi to work again until I reboot the phone. The Wifi works again for a couple of minutes then stops.
I have flashed various different ROM (CM11, PA) but keeps getting the exact same behavior.
I've rebooted in safe mode and I don't get the problem now.

No Wi-Fi, no Bluetooth and no FM Radio [D855]

I'll try to give as much information as possible.
Yesterday I was surfing the internet and suddenly my phone froze and randomly restarted. After that I wasn't able to connect to wifi nor bluetooth. I was running android 6.0 with 30B modem, rooted and with TWRP. After that I flashed Modem from v21C Firmware. I don't know if doing such was responsible for the next thing, but my Wi-fi mac adress and bluetooth adress disappeared from Hardware information. Note that my IMEI information did not disappear.
After that I did a full factory reset with .TOT method. That didn't solve my problem. Tried upgrading to lollipop, did not work. I've done like 10 factory resets only today, I've tried to fix persist partition following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/guide-to-fix-persist-partition-t2821576, same results.
In 4.4.2 and 5.0(all versions I tried from lollipop), both wi-fi and bluetooth adresses showed up as anavailable. Sometimes after rebooting, my phone would connect to wi-fi and show my mac adress, and would crash after 30 seconds..
On 6.0,my mac-adress shows as 02:00:00:00:00:00 and bluetooth adress as unavailable.. Need some serious help here, tried so much stuff nothing worked..
I'll attach some screenshots that may be useful
Any questions and any tries to help me are highly welcome.
Enjoy 6.0 on your phones and thanks for reading :fingers-crossed:
-------------------------
Edit:
Adding some logs. Half a year passed, no solutions.
1 out of 100 reboots wifi works. I've gathered some logs of 1 of the moments wifi works. Hoping someone can figure something out. Tried lots of roms, nothing seems to work.
Forgot mentioning that both wifi and bluetooth show as trying to connect on notification bar, but when I go to settings and press on them, both say "turning on (wifi or bluetooth)" when the button is grayed out and off..
did you tried to use the cse flash in flashtool to fix this?

Did CSE flash, normal flash, TOT factory reset, wiping wifi's definitions.. Nothing seems to work :crying:
More info:
During the night, I removed the battery from the phone and booted my phone. After that Bluetooth would work, and Bluetooth adress would show up on "Hardware informations". Then, I turned off bluetooth and tried to put it back on. Bluetooth adress disappeared and my bluetooth would not turn on. Hope anyone helps..

Also, forgot to say that, if I try to turn on wi-fi, if I connect my phone to my computer, computer will recognize I attached something and will start charging the phone, but I won't be able to transfer items to my phone since it won't appear anywhere on my pc..

I think I found a solution but I can't test it since I'm having problems connecting my phone to my PC ( another problem appeared..)
May I ask yo to install busybox and try this on adb?
adb shell
su
busybox iplink show wlan0
and see if it shows your real adress, if it does
busybox ifconfig wlan0 hw ether (adress)
busybox iplink show wlan0

I don't have my phone with me, sent it to repairing. Any news?
I'm having a very similar issue. Wifi and bluetooth won't turn on and cycle. On some reboots, Wifi will turn on but the phone will shut down shortly thereafter. I've tries several different ROM's and can fix the Wifi, but no the power not the shutting down.

I'm having the exact same problem but a bit worst. I can't even turn my phone on. Phone came back from repairing, guy couldn't fix it. Tried some rom's, many "fixes" from the internet, nothing. Seems like the only way to solve this will be by hardware..
exactly same problem with my g3 too
even i was using stock 30b firmware and after one week of usage it suddenly crashed and stuck in bootloop hence downgraded to lollipop and tried all roms,factory reset,different modems etc but still not fixed
waiting badly for an solution
I'm having pretty much the same problem, along with overheating and screen fading. I'm using stock Lollipop, never rooted. I've tried a factory reset and a new battery with no results.
Any solutions?
Guys I've sent my phone to a local repair shop and they said they took it to LG's official partner.. I've been waiting for a while and it doesn't look good.. A friend of mine bought a g3 recently. I suspect this problem comes from a corrupted or missing file. I'll ask him to help me on checking files if the local shop can't find a way to fix the phone. If everything fails, the only possible solution I see is a new main board or a new phone..
lg g3

Device forgets all saved WiFi passwords when toggling it off and on again

Hello guys!
I have weird problem!
I got broken OP3 A3003 (64gb model) and repaired it. It works perfectly but there is just one annoying fault that i cant seem to find answer to. The WiFi will not reconnect to saved hotspots after i toggle it off and back on again. Everytime i must give the password again and again. after i connect it works perfectly an no hiccups at all. just the reconnecting not working. I can see the saved network in the list but deleting it does not work. I havent yet rooted, im on latest stock and the bootloader is locked. Tried factory reset but same problem occurs.
Searching web and Oneplus forums pointed that there is couple others having same problems but no solution from anyone.
Do anyone have had any of this kind of problem and how did you solve it?
I like Oxygen OS itself but rooting is a must! after i can give logs or stuff if needed!
Update to latest oxygen os or open beta, if updating won't fix your problem then perform a factory reset.
Like I said I tried factory reset but did not help unfortunately I updated to open beta 38 last night but did not help either. 'm gonna try open bootloader and flash the firmware again completely and see.

Wifi problems after flashing custom ROM

Hi all,
I am having problems with my wifi connection after flashing a custom rom. A few months ago I tried to flash lineage OS on the XT1685. This went wrong and the Phone was bricked. Last week I gave it a go once more and was able to flash back a stock rom from Motorola but something weird was going on. I couldn't get a WIFI connection ( no wifi signals in search wifi networks) and MAC-adress was shown as 02:00:00:00:00
I tried a whole bunch of possible solutions but none of them solved the issue. For example I tried to flash the WIFI-Fix, Tried emptying persist/wifi/.macaddr but there was nothing in it. How am I going tho get back my MAC adress! If the original MAC cant't be found is it possible to add another one? Maybe from an other phone or something?
Please help! I am stuck in this situation. Without WIFI the phone is pretty much useless.
Regards Remy
