Hi everyone.
First off, I'd like to say that I don't like opening new threads, and I always read up on my problem first, but I'm simply at my wit's end.
The problem is fairly common (not only on nexus 5 phones), and something a lot of you forum guys have encountered and tried to help with, with more or less success.
Basically, my WiFi doesn't work, it shows 'turning on WiFi' most of the time, and sometimes (fairly rarely), has a couple of hours where it reboots to no end, but I'm thinking that's a power button that sticks. It usually fixes itself after I gently but firmly stroke it (lol) and doesn't happen again for weeks. The WiFi issue started randomly, totally out of the blue, and never happened before to any of my phones (it might have started a couple of days after the last OTA security update, but I can't say for sure). The phone was a 100% stock 16gb Nexus 5.
What I've tried (some steps even multiple times, with different variations):
- removing the sim card
- switching airplane mode on/off
- factory reset (3 times in total think)
- wiping cache
- reflashing stock ROM
- reflashing stock everything
- flashing TWRP and rooting, and manually changing/removing either the .macaddr and .btaddr files, or changing/removing their respective folders
- playing with ownership of those files
- flashing CM, flashing a custom kernel and flashing Paranoid Android
- all in all, i've wiped and rebooted the device like 50 times
Honestly, I don't know what I've missed, I've been at it for days, and I'd be very grateful if someone would point out an oversight.
Also, what's weird, my bluetooth didn't work too, but after i tinkered with .btaddr and .macaddr, it now works perfectly, no matter what I throw at it. This is what gives me hope that I still can resolve this issue without paying for a new motherboard/phone.
Thanks in advance, guys, you've been truly helpful so far.
