:(

id come home after work with my wifi off, because i have no wifi to use anywhere, then the next morning my wifi was on(even though the setting said off). when i would get to work, id set my phone on the charger, and the wifi would "turn off". this bugged the heck out of me for several months(started with 6.0.1 i believe), and im finally glad that i got it solved.

i never set a location for smart lock, trusted places, google already had my home address and set it themselves. i took my address out of trusted places, now my wifi never turns on when im home.

Sorry Aami, we don't even have a complex solution yet.

The one posted just before your message has nothing to do with our issue.

I guess we'll just have to monitor this thread until someone figures out a solution.

its very annoying. because i didnt root it unlock it or did anything. i used it as it was out of the box. didnt install any apps other than playstore, didnt do anything wrong at all. one night i was using it turned off the wifi set alarm for morning and next morning its broken for no reason what so ever. pls some one help or find solution to this. many people have this issue. i dont even know how to unlock or root it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtacb4:
It happened the same to me, bought it yesterday and right away unlocked it, installed twrp, rooted it, flased cm13, restored my apps, the works and cutted my microsim to nano sim, all fine and dandy, using elementalx kernel (with purchased app), i read about franco kernel, decided to try it out, since i support open source and developers, i purchased right way his app, installed it, restarted...fiddle with it for a while, didn't liked it, noticed wifi was not turning on... then i started diggin around, found the 02:00:00etc mac address.. started googling.. read a lot, try the simple things, nothing worked, then came to this thread, read all, tried it once, didn't worked, made some mistakes, tried it again, without errors (my error was not using MY N6 mac address and not setting the permissions right, had to use total commander to set permissions and ownership right) then i recalled something about the franco kernel installer, it said right after installing and reboot, install supersu zip in recovery, i tough that the franco kernel app would load a script and call twrp on reboot recovery, thinking it would do this like elementalx does, did not, rebooted normally and i forgot about the supersu. So, after i did all the steps right (or actually using my own means to archive what the steps do) i did it with the correct mac address, restared into recovery, flashed supersu2.7betasomething and now it is working. I'm making a bakup right now of that file just in case.

Just wanted to say thanks for the thread, i hope, at least, if this is not a definitive solutions, to add my short experience regarding this matter, though I think doing the my own way (because for instance i would get an error doing chown wifi:wifi) i set it up as wifi:system, I want to document everything i did perhaps flashing root did notthing, perhaps the difference this last time was using the correct device's wifi mac address, or setting the owner as wifi:system, or all together.

in all this took me 4 hours from crapping it to fixing it, i havent restarted yet since fixing it, will do now, and edit if it breaks again. also i downloade today's cm13 nightlie and will flash it.

For those who cant fix it yet, don't despeair, keep trying, using adb shell helps speed thing up a lot.

edit1: i recalled i did an /efs partition restore, did not help at all.

edit2: ok, so i restarted and it kept working like nothing happened. then i restarted again and flashed cm-13.0-20160504-NIGHTLY-shamu.zip, elementalx, BETA-SuperSU-v2.67-20160121175247.zip and xposed framework84 and booted, all ok, i proceeded to delete with titanium backup, bunch of "crap" apps that come with CM, still working so far it seems that among my steps is a definitive solution.

In my case, after trying everything above, success came from flashing radio.

Reboot and WiFi was working just fine!!

root cause: TWRP Wipe Internal Store (not doing that anymore....!!)

There are 2 Google security updates for July. The first one (07/01) was just for security updates. The second one (07/05) included significant driver updates. Those of you flashing kernels onto ROMS that *don't* include the driver security updates are going to experience WIFI failures. The newest kernel releases are expecting the new drivers and *won't* work with the old ones.

It's really important to read the first several posts and at least 10 or so pages of recent posts in threads where you are downloading and installing stuff like ROMs or kernels.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmom:
I'm assuming that means you don't have root. If you want to try to figure out what is happening without just doing a factory reset and starting over, then using adb to get a log will make it so you don't have to guess. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2274119.

If you have a plain vanilla, completely stock device, then I'd wonder if you have some sort of hardware failure.

address mac 02:00:00:00:00:00

After sear i found this problem is

ACCESS TO HARDWARE IDENTIFIER

Programmatic access to the Device’s WiFi Mac Address and the Bluetooth Adapter Address have been removed in Android M. Applications can still call WifiInfo.getMacAddress() and BluetoothAdapter.getAddress() however the methods now return a constant value of 02:00:00:00:00:00, hence providing greater data protection to users.

Of developpers say to try this solution:

You can access Mac address from the file "/sys/class/net/" + networkInterfaceName+ "/address" ,where networkInterfaceName can be wlan0 or eth1.But Its permission may be read-protected,so it may not work in some devices. I am also attaching the code part which i got from SO.

public static String getWifiMacAddress() {

try {

String interfaceName = "wlan0";

List<NetworkInterface> interfaces = Collections

.list(NetworkInterface.getNetworkInterfaces());

for (NetworkInterface intf : interfaces) {

if (!intf.getName().equalsIgnoreCase(interfaceName)) {

continue;

}

byte[] mac = intf.getHardwareAddress();

if (mac == null) {

return "";

}

StringBuilder buf = new StringBuilder();

for (byte aMac : mac) {

buf.append(String.format("%02X:", aMac));

}

if (buf.length() > 0) {

buf.deleteCharAt(buf.length() - 1);

}

return buf.toString();

}

} catch (Exception exp) {

exp.printStackTrace();

}

return "";

}

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hansanaut:
Hi,

I got the same issue: MAC address messed up, showing 00:02:00...!

And I got the feeling that happened when I played around with Bluetooth and a wearable (Mi Band 2) in combination with the corresponding apps (Mi Fit and Tools & Mi Band). Anybody made the same experience?

And more important: Anybody got a solution already?!?

I can't imagine that this is hardware related.

Thank you!

Update: Device resetted (still Android 6..0.1) and started without SIM. Device shows now a reasonable MAC address but WiFi still does not turn on. Few seconds later system crashed. Re-start >> MAC address corrupted again :(
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shening:
Same issue here. No bluetooth and no Wifi on Nexus 6. I have tried everything from flashing different ROMs to rooting etc. No luck.

The Wifi/ BT issue also restarts the phone occasionally. At this point I am almost certain this is a hardware issue.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hansanaut:
Hi,

I got some questions to all with a broken WLAN / corrupted MAC address:

Do you keep your phone in the pocket of you trouser?

Do you have cracks on the housing nearby to the power button?

If you lay the phone flat on the display side does it till?

I had this issue and my phone was several times in service because of that.

IF the lost MAC address is hardware related then this could be the root cause. The phone gets twisted by putting it in the trousers' pocket what could end up in a twisted PCB and maybe some broken solder points.

The WLAN module is located close to the camera. If I have some time left I will dissasemble the phone and heat this corner up and hope that broken solder joints re-solder again.

I am keen to hear what the other users think!

With time comes hope

I hope someone can figure this out. My girlfriend is angry thinking I did something to her phone. All I did was take it out the drawer after about a year, charge it up and found out there was a 6.01 update. Now the phone has no WiFi or Bluetooth and a MAC address of 20:00:00:00

Luckily this was a spare phone as we both have new ones but I REALLY wanted to get this up and running for a spare for myself since my screen is cracked on my personal phone. I have successfully rooted and unlocked the bootloader after this problem in the event I need this done to fix it.

Sad to think that a phone with no previous problems would get borked by an OTA. While I should be surprised, I find that I am not..

I can't believe that the problem has persisted for so long and still nobody with more intelligence than I can figure out why it happens or how to fix it. I am beginning to think that this will be a problem like rooting the LG V10. A never ending attempt at futility. :crying:

I'm on it, but probably don't have all the skills required for a permanent fix.

I've been tirelessly working on this issue for a few days. I got a sealed in box but out of warranty Nexus 6 a few weeks ago and it was bone stock. I immediately flashed Pure Nexus and a few days later the issues began. It still periodically will connect. I've seen tons of issues in logcat/dmesg that look to be the culprit. If anyone wants to try to tackle this thing together I would love to. I'm definitely no android developer, just a linux sysadmin. I probably have every log necessary for someone with more knowledge to pinpoint the problem.

My phone hasnt spent more than a few minutes out of the box and has no WIFI after a T-Mobile OTA update. Even after flashing multiple kernels/roms. I'm still not ruling out hardware though. I get a crackling noise when locking/unlocking the phone and sometimes when attempting to turn on WIFI.

It's a shame this solution didn't work for you. I'm running 7.1.2 via LineageOS 14.1 and this method worked to restore my WiFi connection. It has persisted through two reboots.

I had only just lost WiFi capabilities this morning after about three years of ownership and six months on rooted LineageOS. I would have kept stock had I ever received M OTA. Regardless, Moto reps do not understand or are unwilling to accept that root and custom ROMs are not causing this. XDA is clearly a more reliable source of information.

In my case, I didn't care about retaining any saved network info, so I just wiped /data/misc/wifi from TWRP, booted back into the system, and WiFi immediately started working when I toggled it on. Still no clue how it got borked in the first place, but I'm very glad this thread exists.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Thibor69:
Now that the Note 5 has NO external SDcard support, how are we suppose to do a FULL and complete WIPE inside TWRP ?

I am talking about when I want to wipe data/media ( Format Data ) to install a new custom ROM on a completely wiped clean system.

I know it is not needed allwas but I like to format data sometimes to really remove all of the old system when I install a new ROM.

With the Note 4 you could just put the new ROM onto the SDcard and format the internal memory safely, and just flash the ROM

from the SDcard.

What can we do now ? If I format via TWRP it will wipe the internal SD area and wipe the new ROM also so I cant flash.

Thanks for any ideas.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Misterjunky:
re: full wipe

Easy, do an advanced wipe in twrp and don't check mark internal storage or the OTG, only

check mark system, data, cache and dalvik and nothing except do a factory reset in twrp.

(doing it this way will not delete anything on the internal sdcard.

Good luck!

Have a nice Thanksgiving!

This is my first time starting a thread and I'm not sure whether this is the right place in the forum to do it. I apologize in advanced if I did not do it right.

To start with, some weeks ago I bought an android phone, brand Avvio, model L500 with a 1.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 400 MSM8926 processor. It is running an android stock rom 4.4.2 (kitkat) unrooted. The carrier is Claro (from Colombia).

I have looked and so far, I have not been able to find a rom for my device. Firstly, I want to know if I could use a rom that can be compatible with the phone's processor. If it is not possible, I would want to know how to modify the stock rom from my phone, but so far I have not found any information or guide that helps me out to root the device or to extract the custom rom so I can modify it.

My connection went out however, and pRSSreader gave me an error. No big deal... so I tell it to update all channels again, and it freezes. I soft-reset the phone twice and it doesn't get past the 3rd boot screen (for me, the blue WM6 screen from mfrazzz's XM6r3 ROM which I'm currently using). Damn. hard reset was the only thing I could think to do.
