Wifi problems after flashing custom ROM - Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion

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

[Q] Why does my wireless cut out when logging in?

Hi all. I have searched and nothing pertains to my problem.
I upgraded to a new rom (coredroid 7.1), and even going back a rom version my wireless keeps logging in and then disconnects for no apparent reason. It doesn't even pick up the IP address. Show's 'connecting' then 'disconnected' straight after. The one radio i have used has worked flawlessly.
Any ideas on what is going on?

It can be a kernel issue... some kernels are not compatible with certain routers to get info from them to connect. Try flashing a different kernel and see the results.
Ah I tried a new radio and Kernel but it still does the same thing. Rebooted the router and reinstalled my phone rom as well and nothing changes with the problem.
try flashing a rooted stock rom. if still cannot connect, i hope you're still under warranty and send it back to htc
Ah well after flashing a new radio and kernel then reflashing the rom, it decided to work again after I changed the channel on the router....... Confused yet? I was. So thanks for your help it's now working fine.

[Q] Obtaining ip...

Hello!
I've been searching for a long time about this issue but I haven't found aan answer...
I have a rooted GN with original rom and recovery. Yesterday I wiped the phone and now I'm not able to connect to any wifi network.
The phone is always "obtaining ip...". And that's all.
I also have a Nexus S and one computer connected to my wifi and they are working fine.
I also tried to connect to another wifi and the result was the same..
Before yesterday I had no problem, even with the phone rooted.
My android version is 4.2.2.
I tried to reset my router (Netgear), tried all security options (open, wep, wap2, etc).
I have no mac filter... I think I already tried all the "logic" options but I always get the same
I start thinking the problem can be android 4.2but I don't know what is whatt I'm doing wrong.
Thank in advance for any help!
Best regards
Flash a factory build to your device to isolate it as software related.
I had a similar issue with a tplink router, now i have a asus and the issues are gone.

I downgraded to android 4.1 build factory and works. thanks
That's an odd problem.
You already downgraded, so there is no scope for trouble shooting.

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.

Airplane mode on, network problem ZUK Z2

Hello, I'm having problem with my zuk z2. I've had phone for more than a month and it worked fine. I flashed mokee rom and was working excellent. After one update it couldn't connect to network and phone was stuck in airplane mode. It's not showing that airplane mode is on, only when I press power button it says it's on, but nothing happend when pressed. It detects both sim cards but can't get registered on network. Also in secret menu (*#*#4636#*#*) shows Radio off and can't turn it on, or change anything in that menu. I changed a lot of custom and stock roms, with locked and unlocked bootloader, nothing solved the problem. When flash fresh rom it has network (not after every flash), but after some times it just gets disconnected. Please, help me. If someone have solved this problem or have any idea what problem could be.
Edit: I found out that my sim slots IMEI change places, IMEI1 goes to slot 2.
i got the same problem
Same problem here with offician Indian ZUI
damn.. i thought this happened only with china rom.
didn't know it got same issue here.
Same problem
Same problem here. 2.0.133 ST official indian ROM. Any news about this problem?
I have the same issue running Slim 6 on zuk z2
i installed mokee os and the signal comeback again but actually not worked
Yes, I also installed mokee nightly 4/22 and its been working great. Signal is back
me too
Same problem Here.... bought on banggood and after one month network signal disappeared. Today I've unlocked the bootloader and installed Mokee stable ( 13-4-2017) and Lineage 14.1 of 16-01-2017 .... nothing! Still not working.
I suppose it is a failed lot from ZUK delivered from banggood/gearbest/ali ...
I've just wrote an email to zuk support in order to complain about it ...
Yes, because, right now I cannot send back in china at my expenses the equipment and pay for a substitution with another defective terminal.
I've just asked them hoto behave....
I suppose we need to start a class action like the one against samsung for S7 note
However, I'm very disappointed, 1 month and it was looking like a wonderful terminal ...fooooook.
Same problem here. Anybody please share the QCN backup (or valid link to download this) to try repair QCN and IMEIS ?
Same problem here:
I tested different roms and different baseband-versions still no network.
Edit: I also tried flashing it via an external tool - still does not work
http://www.androidbrick.com/zuk-z2-z2-pro-qpst-qfil-miflash-rom-flashing-guide/
I install the Z2plus_MIUI8_6.12.1_zukkati.zip ROM and recover the radios. I feel good!!!!!
Then I installed 2.5.334ST via Qfil, installed TWRP and install other ROMs and everything works fine.
Any Luck guys? Please help if anyone manage to resolve this issue.
Thank you!
Same with me
I had this problem also one month ago, bricked the phone and endly I could it get working again with lingeage on it. Was working perfect.
Today the problem is there again.
When I start the phone without the simcard airplane mode is off (when I touched the power button) with the simcard in the phone it starts with airplane mode on.
Is there a possibility to disable airplane mode complete?
Anyone any idea?
This problem has been around for ages, and no apparent solution to it. Sent it back to warranty and it got flashed frm Custom ROM and back to stock ROM with same results. Useless. Dead.
Got a partial refund instead .
Guys there is any solution?? I have this problem with my Zuk Z2.. Plz help me
Problem Solved
I also had same problem tried all methods described here and in zukfans.eu, but failed. At last discharging(shorting) some capacitor related to network IC did the job.
