Wifi doesn't turn on for Nexus 5 with an install from rc channel (solved)

Hi,
I just had similar issue with the wifi today.
(Nexus 5 in RC too)

I was lazy and just rebooted (didn't want to search for the commands) => it worked
Lomiri reboot wasn't enough though (but maybe I just was lucky - second time is a charm)

@AppLee said in Wifi doesn't turn on for Nexus 5 with an install from rc channel:

Lomiri reboot

I tried rebooting it but still no luck for me.

@budrz
Did you try switching to Stable see if it works and then switch back to RC ?

OK, I did that and it worked. But when I follow these instructions for installing android apps, that's when the wifi disappears as I stated earlier. Weird.

What I did was

export CODENAME="hammerhead" && export PARTITIONNAME="boot"
wget http://cdimage.ubports.com/anbox-images/anbox-boot-$CODENAME.img
adb shell # connect from your host computer to your UT device
sudo fastboot flash $PARTITIONNAME anbox-boot-$CODENAME.img
sudo fastboot reboot
rm anbox-boot-$CODENAME.img
exit

as stated in the instructions. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

@budrz Sorry, no idea.
I don't fiddle with Anbox

UniSuperBox

@budrz, these steps are not required any more. Only the anbox-tool installation is required now.

budrz

@UniSuperBox It worked, thanks!

Installed OTA-12 today and my Nexus 5 is working fine with Wi-Fi

I got the problem figured out. I'm trying to edit the post as solved but it gives me an error message saying that I can't post for 3600 (s) but I think it's been well over that.

@budrz I will add solved for you.

budrz

@Lakotaubp Thank you. Also, my other post has been solved as well, if that's not too much to ask.

Lakotaubp
