Broken wifi after trying to follow the Android apps guide on Hammerhead

Luke

As specified in the wiki guide, I also opened a bug (here)

To summarize the problem ...

I followed the Android apps wiki guide after a fresh install of stable channel (OTA.15), Hammerhead (https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/userguide/dailyuse/anbox.html).

Specifically, after following commands:

wget http://cdimage.ubports.com/anbox-images/anbox-boot-$CODENAME.img
adb shell # connect from your host computer to your UT device
sudo reboot -f bootloader # 'adb shell' will exit after this command, the prompt will be back on your host
sudo fastboot flash $PARTITIONNAME anbox-boot-$CODENAME.img
sudo fastboot reboot
rm anbox-boot-$CODENAME.img
exit

when the phone rebooted, and I used the following commands:

adb shell # connect from your host computer to your UT device
sudo mount -o rw,remount /
sudo apt update

... I wasn't any more able to update the software. Looking at the Configuration panel there is no more evidence of any wifi connection (even the one I normally used before) ...

It also happened to me with the previous OTA. Is the any tips to solve the problem?

Thanks in advance!

@luke You missed the part where it says for nexus 5, do not flash the kernel. It's already built in. Start with the second green box.

To fix this, switch to another channel, update the OS, switch back to your channel apply update. Then do the anbox instructions again starting with the second green box

@rocket2nfinity Hello Rocket, thank you for your reply, I was just wondering where this specification is ... :anxious_face_with_sweat:

If it's missing, it should be added.

Thanks for your help, now everything is working and I just need to install microG :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Microg? But that doesn't work, does it?
