Greetings XDA community, recently I've been facing a problem regarding my wifi which is stuck on "turning on" hence, it cannot be turned on from the toggle and the settings. This problem first appeared while I was in a custom rom. So I decided to revert back to stock firmware which temporarily solved the problem. After a while, the problem returned and doing some factory resets and clearing of cache didn't help. Other troubleshooting steps I've done so far :
a) Toggle airplane mode
b) Delete a wifi config file(I can't remember the name) using root explorer.
c) Turn on mobile data tethering
d) Flash a different Kernel
e) Downgrade from Nougat to MM
f) Reset network settings
g) Reboot/Poweroff for 5 minutes
Has anyone encountered this problem? If so, how were you able to get the wifi to work? Thanks in advance.

Go back to your stock rom and root it. Then get a root file explorer and go into System then into etc and copy the "Wi-Fi" folder and place it somewhere safe. Then go back to whatever rom your on now and put that Wi-Fi folder in the same spot. Delete the folder before you place the one from stock and give it 0755 permissions. Reboot and you're good.

I was successfully running CM 6.0.0 for several weeks when suddenly i noticed my 3g data connection was no longer working at all. no icon on the taskbar or anything. it's checked on in the settings, but not working.
i have tried:
1. hard reset (pulled battery for several minutes.)
2. factory/data reset
3. airplane mode toggle
4. data toggle
5. reflash radio
6. flash a differnt radio that i know has worked in the past
i'm running out of ideas. any suggestions?
Try reflashing Cm6 over with no wipe meaning just flash the rom and reboot oh and u might wanna try wiping dev cache hope it helps good luck

thanks for the suggestion. i had already tried those things without success. however, i was finally able to fix the problem:
1. nandroid backup
2. wipe
3. install fresh rom (or other asop rom i assume)
4. use wifi connection to connect to network
5. settings > about phone > update phone > update profile
6. data connection was restored.
7. restore nandroid backup
8. back to normal

Just FYI for future reference, the "Update profile" tool is only available in Sprint-based (HTC Sense) roms. AOSP only roms (aospMod, CM6, DD) don't have this tool, so for now you will have to nandroid back into a Sense/Sprint rom to update Profile and PRL each time you need to do that.
If you are with CS; they have been having issues with their data stream. Mine was acting up the end of last week.

my connection completely quit...no sign of working at all. updating the profile was the only that worked and it worked immediately.
I am having issues also i am running a secse based rom updated prl profile cleared market data and gtalk data ect and still can't connect to gtalk or download from the market. I even reflashed my rom any suggestions?
I have searched for the past thirty minutes and have not found a solution so i decided to post in the place where every person seems to know the answer to every question. Anyways, my tp succesfully got set up in ICS and WIFI turned on at first for me to do my original setup, but after rebooting to flash the charger fix and new kernel, my wifi will not connect. I tried a fresh install to make sure the kernel was not the issue, to no avail. When i try and slide the wifi on/off switch to on it just slides back and clicking on the button does nothing. I also tried to add the power widget to the main screen and hit the Wifi button from there, but that was also borked. Any help would be appreciated.
Try setting your router to a specific channel I put mine on 9 and it works now. I was having wifi issues after reboot but after setting the Chanel on my router they went away
If I forget my network, then reboot, then reconnect it seems to work fine. I tried a few other "fixes" I have read about and nothing else seems to work for me at this point...
The problem is not my network, its the fact that i cannot hit the "on" button for wifi

The OP did make the problem clear!
Looks like a reinstall may be needed.
try fixing permissions from CWM.
If that doesn't work, I suggest to have a look at the logcat entries while trying to switch on and off the Wifi, you may see the reason for the error there.
What version of CM9 is intalled? did you install any special kernel? What channel is your wifi on? (I changed mine from 11 to 1 and it's stayed connected for days now!)
Try a full cache and dalvik cache wipe in ClockworkMod. If that fails, then do a full wipe, re-install and try again from scratch.
This happened to me when I updated to Alpha 0.5. I had to go back and reflash the bricked kernel which i previously installed. I think he made a change to the wifi settings and if I remember correctly he told you how to go back to stock cm9 if you wanted to. But if you installed bricked before that's your problem, reflash it in CWM
bricked kernel uses a different WIFI module, so you need to have both in sync (kernel and driver).
If it worked on first boot, I presume he didn't change the kernel, so something else must be causing his WIFI to fail (fail to start, not fail to connect)
As we mention before, I will go for permissions, cache and get a logcat for the error
Permissions did not work so I wiped and started fresh for the third time....well I guess third time is a charm because I am posting from the TP right now thanks guys.
Sorry for the noob post.
I was attempting to install cyanogen, following the full update guide on their wiki
It is currently running the stock rom. and this would be the first time i have tried this.
Installing clockwork mod seemed to go fine, however when i restarted it i could not enable wifi or data network. It also restarted regularly. I performed a factory reset through the settings on the phone, but after that i still cannot connect to wifi or data networks, and the rebooting has increased in frequency so now it will only remain powered up for a few seconds.
I can still access download mode fine, and it does not reboot when on that.
What should I do?
Hey
On which firmware did u install CM9??
Sent from my GT-I9000
I'm running Supersu 2.42 and latest TWRP recovery.
I rooted via instructions on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/development/xt1064-lollipop-root-t2938051
Wifi on/off slider won't even toggle. I press it and animates, showing it recognized my touch, then it just slides back into off.
I tried all of the methods in this thread already: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2619553 , which includes:
creating/replacing file in /persist.img.
Doing a complete wipe, wiped cache partition and dalvik cache.
Restoring factory settings.
I also tried several wifi-fix apps.
Nothing worked. I've been at it for hours.
Please someone tell me I just did something obvious and dumb so I can be done with this disaster.
How do I get my wifi working?
Also, on the off chance this has anything to do with it, whenever I start up the phone it goes into a bootloop on the "Warning:Your bootloader is unlocked" screen. It takes about ten minutes of looping to start up.
I had the same issue on the xt1064. I wasn't able to fix it so I had to reflash and stay unrooted on lollipop.

Sounds to me it is a problem with the wlan driver module, try after attempting to turn wifi on, check dmesg output lines on shell related to wlan also you might want to check the output of command
Code:
insmod /system/lib/modules/wlan.ko
if it reports any error.
My wild guess is it is a mismatch between the kernel version and the module version and/or related to the whitelist it uses to load modules. Maybe your module wasnt updated or something bizarre happened. Anyways the commands above would give some insight.
Good luck.
I'm in the same situation
what did you end up doing? I have the same problem after installing a ROM of xt1033 (Brazil retail) in my xt1032, to upgrade to 5.0.1, My wifi toggle doesn't work, I'm in 5.0.1 but GPE, i have flashed the kernel and the radio, copy the .bin file in persist folder, but without the MAC adress because I couldn't know what was it, tried wifi fixer apps, wiped, nothing works,
what should I do? I've been 2 weeks like this, some help please...

well if you formatted user data and everything is clean you can go ahead and install a custom rom or flash a stock rooted rom that is provided in the dev section and the wifi issue should fix itself.

I would suggest the following:
1. Read up on fastboot. This will allow you to recover from most things with this phone.
2. Use fastboot to flash a custom recovery.
3. Use the custom recovery to flash a custom rom.
If this doesn't work... Download the nexus 6 factory images (google will help with this). Then just reflash stock and see if it works.
There's literally 0 reason to root stock before flashing custom roms on this phone.
Also, make sure that you unlock your bootloader.

You could start it in bootloader mode and restore factory.
You could also try another wifi connection (go somewhere else).

As someone mentioned. You need to read up on fastboot.
You softbricked your phone it seems.
Gonna need a PC/Mac/Linux to fastboot it and fix it.

If you did a factory reset, all your personal data was lost, but the stock ROM should still be present. Your phone isn't damaged based upon your posts, but you do need to do some reading and understand what it is you are doing before you do damage your Nexus. Start at the Nexus 6 Sticky Roll Thread and read the tutorial on ADB and Fastboot. Then read the Nexus 6 All-In-One Beginner's Guide.
To resolve the "Checking Connection" issue you're currently having, take out your SIM card and try pressing "Skip" at the WiFi connection screen. If successful, you won't have any connectivity but will have fully booted into Android. From there you can access Developer Options, and enable OEM Unlock. Actually unlocking the bootloader requires a computer, and until the bootloader is unlocked, you won't be able to flash anything to the device. So, start reading.

I don't think that would work.
After factory reset, he'd need to log in to his original account. So needs wifi or internet connection for that (or another phone which can share the same account credentials via nfc). Failing that, as others mentioned flash a useable system to get working wifi.
Shoot, I keep forgetting about factory reset protection. Likely because I have Enable OEM Unlock active.
