[Q] Can't turn on neither wifi nor bluetooth - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been reading a lot over the web to find information about this issue I'm having, but by no means I could solve this issue.
I just got my S5. Here's a (very short) excerpt of the
Code:
adb shell dumpstate
command:
Code:
[ril.product_code]: [SM-G900MZWPZTO]
[ro.product.model]: [SM-G900M]
When I got the phone, the first thing I did, as it was used, was to factory-reset it, because I didn't want any data from the previous user. I did this through the phone UI, not from within recovery (wipe cache/wipe data).
Once reset was done, I put in my microSIM and turned it back on. I had no way to test wifi and bluetooth at that point, so I used the mobile network to update my personal info, etc.
By the end of the day, I got home and tried to turn on wireless. The normal behavior of the indicator when turning wifi on is GRAY->DARK GREEN->GREEN, but the phone goes GRAY->DARK GREEN and doesn't go further. It stays in DARK GREEN for a couple minutes, then it goes back to GRAY.
The same happens to bluetooth. The only difference is that bluetooth takes less time to go back to GRAY.
The Android version installed was 4.2.2.
There was an offer to update Android, so I thought that could solve the problem, so I updated Android to 5.0 over mobile network (no wifi, remember?).
After the update, wifi still didn't work. By dialing *#1234#, I noticed this:
Code:
AP: G900MUBU1BOC4
CP: G900MUBU1BOC3
CSC: G900MZTO1BOC4
AP and CP are different. Shouldn't they be equal?
Anyway, after seeing the update didn't solve the problem, I did a downgrade, again with no success. The *#1234# now shows this:
Code:
AP: G900MUBU1ANCE
CP: G900MUBU1ANCE
CSC: G900MZTO1ANCE
Wifi still don't go on.
I also tried to flash two Android 5.0 (Lollipop) versions available to my country (got them from sammobile dot com):
Code:
/firmwares/download/45787/G900MUBU1BOC4_G900MZTO1BOC4_ZTO/
Code:
/firmwares/download/44412/G900MUBU1BOC1_G900MZTO1BOC1_ZTO/
None worked.
I used ODIN for all updates. Some background on how to use ODIN can be found here:

While inspecting the phone's dumpstate, I found this:

I read a lot about wifi connections dropping, but none about not being able to turn on wifi on Samsung Galaxy S5. Got to some similar threads on S4 and previous versions, but none about S5, so I decided to post here.
Some questions arises:
1. Am I the only one having this issue?
2. Can it be hardware-related? And if yes, is there any way to check this?
3. Could the Factory Reset have done something nasty to wifi config files? I read some suggestions to erase wpa_supplicant config files.
4. When flashing a new rom, is any data kept inside the phone or everything is erased?
5. Is there a way to reset the wifi only or updating its firmware?
Thanks for helping!

There could be 3 causes for this...
1. Kernel WIFI modules doesn't match the kernel.
2. Hardware problem
3. Not sure about this since I'm just new to samsung but it could also be from a corrupt EFS partition.
But to further troubleshoot this problem can you do this for me?
1. Install terminal emulator from playstore.
2. execute this command from there
Code:
svc wifi enable
See if it shows some errors, warnings or whatever text it will print.
if not type logcat and paste here the last 100 to 150 lines of the output.

I believe, (Don't quote me on this), if the EFS partition was corrupted or lost, the phone would not have any radio functionality including voice and text etc
Also I 'think' the IMEI is also included on that partition, so *#06# should come up blank if it was the EFS partition causing the problem
But again, this is just what I've also picked up in the short time I've been with my S5 so could be missing something

[Solved], but the hard way
I took the device to Samsung and they said there was a problem on the main board (?), so they replaced it for a new one. I don't think I'm going to complain about it. Although I think that could be fixed somehow, replacing was probably easier. I said "the hard way" on the title, meaning it was a "brute force" fix. It is a pity I wasn't able to keep the old board for experimentation...
Thanks for your replies, guys. I didn't even expect replies and got yours and so complete! Thanks a lot!

WiFi suddenly always searching, no ssids, nothing found

Hi,
I intensively searched for my problem, but found always other non-related stuff.
Recently (last 1, 2 days) my WiFi didn't connect to any APs any more. I was using CN nightlies and franco kernel, so today I did update CN without franco. Afterwards I downgraded CN and did a radio update and now I tried the stock 4.2.2 image with the flash-all script, which also seemed to reflash my radio.
The default wifi dialog always displayed the saved wifis only. And after installing stock, the initial wifi dialog displayed "searching" only for a very long time. Sometimes I see some networks and I even managed to connect to mine, but it dropped immediately.
I know, this is very undetailed, but do you have any recommendations / logs to look out / smth which could point me in the right direction? Or is my hardware just broken?
logcat outputs this when turning wi-fi on (on stock 4.2.2, unrooted):

when flashing stock (via the official google flash scripts), stock firmware files (qualcom, ..) are also flashed, right? or could I do something useful with the official google binaries?
Stupid post.... Ignore

Can't activate Wi-fi

I don't know what else to do.
Here's what i tried so far:
Flashed custom kernel
Flashed other rom (CM10.2)
Cleared Dalvik cache
Cleared cache partition
Flashed other modem
Reseted flash counter
Flashed back stock rom (4.2.2)
Upgraded to 4.3 (ota)
The problem remains.
Anything i forgot to try?
Any sugestions?
Thanks!
I think the only way to fix this would be to flash a complete official firmware package via Odin.

I did that, no luck.
Try multiple times, boot directly to download mode, not from the rom and make sure to use the firmware that the custom ROM is based on. If that fails you may have a hardware issue, not sure what else to try.

Try using custom kernel and then flash mga wifi lte fix. Take out the battery and then use Odin.

[SOLVED] WiFi won't turn on - Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505

Hi,
Recently have rooted my S4 I9505, and have put this ROM (Google customized Edition build - using Ktoonsez kernel - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2557353)
WiFi and other stuff worked perfect.
In one moment have installed this app Pry-Fi (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.pryfi), just to test the app & functionality.
This day WiFi have started not connecting to networks (have connect to some), and day after cannot turn on Wifi
Log shows this error:
08-13 15:18:13.305 823-1038/? E/WifiHW﹕ ##################### set firmware type 0 #####################

Then i have tried to return to stock ROM, trying CM11, but all of them have same error.
(also tried to flash modem and NON-HLOS.bin - also nothing)
Full wipe with TWRP or CMW6 - nothing.
At last have made full wipe with TWRP, and put again same ROM (but this time Pure Nexus edition)
And now i have following in my log (attached)
but from log you can see:
08-14 12:27:58.609 780-1148/system_process E/WifiHW﹕ Supplicant not running, cannot connect

Have tried fixes with replacing wlan0 in /system/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf - nothing happens
Any help appreciate
EDIT: After last change (see my third post below, WiFi works without problem, have connected on several places, connection is persistent)

well, that escalated quickly
Have checking build.prop and seen that ro.wifi.channels was empty.
I have add value 14, restart, and WiFi is finally back, at least temporary
Then is again disconnected, even WiFi signal of previoues connected network is great (but is not turned OFF)

You should post your logs in the PryFi Thread, so that he can fix this, if it is serious.

PH-1 Random overheats and reboots

My PH-1 reboots randomly, sometimes frequently, and it is accompanied with sudden surge of heat on the in almost the direct center of the phone, on both the front and back sides. This has happened on stock Oreo (from .010 to current stock builds), RR, Lineage OS, AOSiP, and Carbon ROM. I've had it occur while rooted/unrooted, with or without xposed, and have thoroughly wiped device in between new ROMs. And though the device does suddenly get quite hot it can happen when im in a dark cold place or outside in the sun. The only correlation is that it seems to only occur while talking on the phone but length of call is not a factor in that scenario. It could happen 5 times in an hour or in a week.
I'm new to modification, and although green I've made my way through it pretty well thanks to the great forums and tips offered here. Rooting/modding is now much simpler now but this problem has been persisting for almost two months. I've got a logcat from boot to crash taken via ADB (about 2-3 minutes real time) but don't know how to interpret it enough to discover the cause of the problem . Thanks in advance for any help provided. I will post the logcat but I'm not sure of how much to post or how for that matter haha.
Thanks again
That really sounds like a hardware problem if its persisting across ROMs.
Warranty for sure. Most definitely a hardware fault.

I've taken quite a few logs and there are two consistent segments that I can't get figured out. Any help would be great. The second one has way more variations on the theme and they're grouped. Also, my phone was brand new but NOT purchased from a retailer. I'm assuming I'm outta luck for warranty?

Thank you for the response. Please look at my reply to user below your post. Is any information gathered just from those logs?
It looks like it's constantly polling to register you on the network and failing. What company are you with? Try two things just to satisfy my curiosity:
1) go into mobile network> advanced and change automatically select network to off. Click below and choose your provider yourself from the list.
2) double check the access point name (APN settings)

I'm on Verizon and step 1, done. It was active so I switched off. Step 2 it lists 2 APN... Verizon (VZWINTERNET) **checked** and Straight Talk Verizon (TRACKFONE.VZWENTP)**not checked**
Now im curious so I'll run logcat and see if similar codes persist. It seems like I'm on the phone nearly every time it happens, don't know if there is a correlation.
Thanks!

Would be registering on the network when you make a call, it registers with the nearest tower to you. Let me know if that helps!

So went a few hours with the changes you recommended and it was doing ok so far. The reboots are randomized. Might be 1 time in 36 hours and others its 6 times in an hour. Phone activity, battery life, etc seem to have a wide deviation too. BUT, so far so good. Much of the logcat did look like nothing was throwing a fail code, but this one still popped up enough to notice .

Hmmm. Have you flashed any other modems? Might be worth a shot.

What I would do is full wipe and fastboot flash the latest full file. Seems like OTAs haven't been updating the modem and ROMs wouldn't either I doubt.
You could probably just fastboot flash the modem.img from from the latest fastboot release if you really didn't want to full wipe.
The full wipe doesnt scare me off. I took my lumps teaching myself from scratch and the nuances of the way dual partition devices function has been an interesting learn. I prefer using ADB/fastboot/twrp instead of doing and OTA because of the learning opportunity so I have the latest modem.img from the current Firmware from essentials site. I also use @invisiblek builds. I sent Essential the log and they offered a suggestion as well, saying
I am sending you two troubleshooting steps that.... One of the reasons we need to do this is that when you factory reset your phone you restored backed up information and you signed back into you google account....

One of the first things I learned in forums like this one was that until you are ready to go, don't sign in to anything. So I will try and do that. Thanks again for suggestions @crixley
I was having this issue a while back. Every custom rom/kernel caused the processor to lock up at Max frequency randomly thus causing quick overheating no matter how small the load. Performance is amazing through this, but overheating is very annoying. I fixed mine by sticking to stock rooted and not touching the governors or thermal throttling. Maybe I would suggest monitoring your processor with a kernel manager and/or trying to play around with governors and thermal options for now, if you in fact have the same issue, to see if you get something thats stable and sticks. Good luck
I had an issue with mine where it was constantly locking up and rebooting, mostly during multimedia activities like watching YouTube, gaming and even browsing chrome. I never monitored the temperature and it never felt hot to the touch but it just kept happening constantly. I bought it as a refurbished on eBay and was crashing out of the box. It was completely stock Android 8.1.1. Most of the time it would just constantly non stop crash after 30seconds-10minutes of being turned on,. Would just freeze, sit for 30 seconds and then reboot itself. A couple times it lasted sitting idle for 14 hours before crashing and then constantly do it again.
Anyways even though it was a refurbished unit and the seller was not the original owner, it was still under warranty period and was able to be replaced. Just open warranty rma with essential is what I would do. If the serial/imei you provide them is still under warranty they will probably honor it.
Also they gave me that troubleshooting steps too,. Factory reset, start fresh and don't login to your, it's bogus. Still had the same issue on my phone and I actually had to send my phone back twice before they replaced it. The first time I sent it in they said they ran diagnostics that didn't detect any issue, but when I got the phone back it crashed within 10minutes and I never logged into Google. Just a bad hardware issue.

I am seeing the same errors. What did Essential say? Did it resolve the errors?

Restoring WIFI after a bad flash on TB-8504F?

I flashed a custom built ROM to a TB-8504F and it didn't go well. I was able to restore the majority of the partitions, but the WIFI doesn't work now. Everything else seems to work.
Is there a particular petition that I need to flash?
Attached are screenshots of the partitions on a stock tablet.
I think these logs are related:
