wifi not working on oneplus one

[joolz]

Good morning all,

Now I have the opo running, there are some issues left. One is wifi, I have the toggle to switch it on, nut nothing happens in the UI, no ssids are shown, nothing else. From other threads I learned it might be a missing WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini, so I got that from github and put it in /persist. After rebooting there quite a few of them:

./android/persist/WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini
./android/system/etc/firmware/wlan/prima/WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini
./android/system/etc/wifi/WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini
./android/data/misc/wifi/WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini
./var/lib/lxc/android/rootfs/persist/WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini
./var/lib/lxc/android/rootfs/system/etc/firmware/wlan/prima/WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini
./var/lib/lxc/android/rootfs/system/etc/wifi/WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini
./var/lib/lxc/android/rootfs/data/misc/wifi/WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini
./userdata/android-data/misc/wifi/WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini

However, still no wifi. When switching on the wifi toggle, syslog says:

I have no idea what to do next, any help would be greatly appreciated!

@joolz If none of the normal things like toggling on and off Flight mode, wifi etc work I would re run the installer ( without wipe if you have stuff you need). I have two OPO now and only on occasion does wifi not kick back in after using mobile data but it was always fine from setup

Edit: I use dev channel and edge try one of those if that sorts it then go back to stable or whatever you choose but stable should work out of the box.

[joolz]

@Lakotaubp thanks, I will give it a try soon. Will /home/phablet survive a non-wiping install?

[Lakotaubp]

@joolz Yes all that will happen is a fresh install of UT. Just don't press wipe

[Opolork]

Hi Joolz. Have you tried toggling Wi-Fi under System Settings>>Battery?

[joolz]

@Opolork yes I have, doesn't help

[Opolork]

@joolz Ok.

[Masayoshi]

I got the same problem with my opo the wifi wont work

[Lakotaubp]

@Masayoshi Can you also try reflashing UT to see if that fixes the issue. After trying the other stuff mentioned above. Please don't press wipe unless you want to completely wipe everything from your device or have a backup.

@joolz question, which file you took from github, and where did you place it? You also need to generate yourself a new random MAC addy in case your ini was missing.

the ini file should have been in /persist folder when in recovery, did you check that before, overwrote it or etc..

[joolz]

@Flohack : WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini, but probably the wrong one. I just found this thread https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/995 and followed your directions there, copied the ini file mentioned there and generated a random MAC address. After a restart, the SIM password would be asked very shortly (gone before I could type the code) but, wifi would see the available networks, but not connect to any, probably because I copied in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/* from my old phone. I removed these, another reboot and I could punch in the SIM code and wifi networks were visible! No time to connect now (I'm at workplace) but I think this was it, thanks! \o/

Another (unrelated) question: can I copy in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/* from my old phone? That would spare me a lot of copy/pasting passwords...

@joolz said in wifi not working on oneplus one:

No time to connect now (I'm at workplace) but I think this was it

Connected!

[Masayoshi]

@Lakotaubp Im not that good on this. Then i was installing ubports on my oneplus it was taking a very long time before i got it to work. How to reflash in a easy way?

[Lakotaubp]

@Masayoshi Just rerun the installer. it should be quicker this time and please don't select the wipe option.

[flohack]

@joolz system-connections should be readonly, and can be overwritten on any update, I think that must reside in a different place
