Oneplus one wifi switch after OTA6 #995
Oneplus one wifi switch after OTA6 #995

Afetr OTA 6 install OnePlus one has lost wifi switch in stable or RC channel
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
I cannot reproduce this, my OPO here is fine with that. Can you try to see what ifconfig wlan0 gives you?
I also cannot reproduce this (Model: ONE A0001).
Hi I have run the ifconfig wlan 0 and says device not found; seems like the wifi has been blacklisted
Hi just to let you know that I have reinstalled OTA 5 and WIFI works perfect. How do I stop upgrading to OTA 6? I will btw get back to Nexus 5 as have already spent 15 quid in extra data with O for using 4G
I just upgraded my OnePlus One to Ubuntu 16.04 (OTA-6) and the WiFi switch works fine, the only issue I had was that all the WiFi passwords have to be re-entered.
Thanks for the fedback guys does not work with mine but works on OTA 5 amd getting anyhow a Nexus should see to delete this post there is no solution
I can confirm the missing wifi-switcher with OTA-6. I tried different channels but only reinstalling OTA-5 helped me. «ifconfig wlan0» gives me «device not found».
I have had this issue after updating the OS today (16.04; Dev Channel: 2018-12-18). Rebooting the device brought the missing wifi-switcher back.
I can also confirm the missing wifi-switch with OTA-6. Rebooting did not bring it back for me.
The wifi comes back if I get the SIM out
I don’t have a SIM card in my One Plus One and perhaps that is why I don’t have an issue with the WiFi switch? I have also disabled the mobile phone network with sudo /usr/share/ofono/scripts/disable-modem /ril_0 .
I took the SIM out, and that did cause the wifi indicator to appear on the top bar, but the on-off button was still not there, and when I return the SIM, the wifi indicator disappears.
Yes is a massive problem with OTA6 I have now a nexus 5 and everything works for me
With the new OTA-7 release the bug still exists: it is not possible to connect my OPO via wifi. There is no wifi switch in the top bar and in the settings/wifi section. The wifi switch in settings/battery is still visible and can be turned on or off, but that doesn’t change anything. Same result for my try to remove the SIM card and restart the phone. After the reinstallation of OTA-5 the wifi works pretty well again.
I also realized that with OTA-6 or OTA-7 the MAC adress for wifi is disapperead in the settings/about section. Thus I wondered if this bug might be a unwanted side effect of the (for OTA-6 fixed) bug #541 concerning the mac adresses?
And I want to clarify that at least in my case it is not only the switch which seems to be broken: wifi doesn’t work at all with OTA-6 or OTA-7. How about the others? If you can confirm I would suggest to rename this bug.
Please let me now if I can help with testing or providing further information (unfortunately, I am not a developer).
OTA-7 doesn’t appear to be available to me, is there a rolling availability?
Hi I am having the same problem no OTA 7 and have had 3 times the download of Open store. I live in UK
Hi if you want an immediate download use these steps works with me
Existing Ubuntu Touch users
Existing users of Ubuntu Touch in the stable channel (which is selected by default in the UBports Installer) will receive the OTA-7 upgrade through the Updates screen of System Settings. Devices will randomly receive the update starting today through January 13. This spread is to give us time to interrupt a bad update in the future (should that ever become necessary), not to accommodate any bandwidth restrictions.
If you would like to receive the update immediately, turn on ADB access and issue the following command over adb shell:
sudo system-image-cli -v -p 0
Your device should then download the update and install it. This process may take a while, depending on your download speed.
I just had this issue on my FP2 (dev 2019-01-09). It occurred after wiping the phone and a fresh install of UT. Before I was on edge channel without seeing this issue.
I can confirm that restarting the phone does not help, but starting the phone once with the SIM card removed brings the WIFI switch back permanently.
Having this issue with OTA-7 version (fresh install). Regardless of SIM removed or not — no wifi:
root@ubuntu-phablet:~# iwconfig rev_rmnet1 no wireless extensions. rmnet6 no wireless extensions. rev_rmnet5 no wireless extensions. rmnet1 no wireless extensions. lo no wireless extensions. rev_rmnet0 no wireless extensions. rmnet5 no wireless extensions. rev_rmnet4 no wireless extensions. rmnet0 no wireless extensions. rev_rmnet8 no wireless extensions. rmnet4 no wireless extensions. sit0 no wireless extensions. rev_rmnet3 no wireless extensions. rmnet_usb0 no wireless extensions. rev_rmnet7 no wireless extensions. rmnet3 no wireless extensions. rev_rmnet2 no wireless extensions. rmnet7 no wireless extensions. rev_rmnet6 no wireless extensions. rmnet2 no wireless extensions. So this is actually two bugs in this report:
- Wifi not working on OPO
- Wifi switch just disappeared, but wifi is working. Wifi switch can be brought back by resetting the launcher or by removing the SIM card once. This was reported on OPO and FP2, yet.
@m-a-x-x it might be a side effect if your device lacks the persist partition or mountpoint. Seems like at least one user from forum has this problem. We try to configure WiFi since OTA-6 from there, but if we do not have this partition also, where to take a valid MAC address from in the end? I am out of clues what oneplus is doing here.
@Flohack74 thanks a lot for your reply! I found this persist partition on my OPO with OTA-5:
/dev/disk/by-partlabel/persist 4996 4180 816 84% /android/persist
Do you mean this partition? What should it include in order to get a valid MAC address? I can try to upgrade one more time and check this partition under OTA-6 or OTA-7.
@Flohack74 I just realized you were referring to the ubports forum, probably this thread: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/2249/no-more-wlan-after-ota-6-7-update-on-opo Sorry for my late noticing!
With its help I managed to solve the problem: Before upgrading from OTA-5 to OTA-7, I made a copy of the WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini. After the upgrade I copied it to /persist/ as described in the thread and the wifi startet working again 👍
Unfortunately (probably because I copied the file from OTA-5) the issue #541 isn’t solve on my OPO. @Flohack74, if I understood you correctly, you mentioned in the forum that you could provide the original WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini from OTA-7? That would be great!
One more time thank you all for your help.
@m-a-x-x No its unfortunately like this: The ini file from our image is a default one with an invalid MAC addy, probably for testing only. So the real good MAC address should always have been in the /persist folder. If your device lacks that, either the file was somewhere else originally, or it was deleted accidentally. You can however recreate yourself a valid MAC address with some luck:
- The Oneplus vendor prefix is C0:EE:FB, this one wont change between devices so we can take it as-is
- Got to this page: https://www.browserling.com/tools/random-mac
- Press on the generate button
- Cut off the first 3 bytes from any of those generated, and put C0:EE:FB in front
- Put your new MAC addy in the ini file instead of the default one B0:AA:33:88:88:88
- Reboot and it should be good!
I’ve generated the new mac address. Could you please tell me where «the ini file» is located?
@jelkner sorry forgot that info, you can take it from here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ubports/android_device_oneplus_bacon-1/ubp-5.1/wifi/WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini — this should ideally be patched with a new MAC in line Intf0MacAddress=B0AA33888888 and then copied via recovery to the /persist folder.
I’m having the same issue. Is there fix in the works for this?
Just a quick update. The above solution by @Flohack74 worked. I generated a random mac address, downloaded the ini file, replaced the mac address, and pushed it to /persist/ using adb root. I can connect to internet now
I was able to use the script to which @Flohack74 linked to get wifi working today, yippee! Unlike @ManikandanUV , however, I didn’t know how to use adb root, so instead I copied the file to the phablet user’s home directory using file manager on my Ubuntu desktop machine, and then used the terminal app to sudo -i and then move the file to /persist/. Gotta love Ubuntu!
Ok, I’ve got this issue after other isses. Finally got ub touch to boot up but no wifi. Tried terminal config wlan 0 and got no such device so I’m trying to work this ini file. But can’t get into persist folder to edit. Attempted previously mentioned methods but they are not complete. How can I push the ini file to persist through adb or terminal. Thx
@mriche the /persist folder probably is only accessible in recovery, did you do it that way?

I have the problem of the missing wifi on the Oneplus one too. I have patched the .ini file and I have done:
adb push WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini /persist/WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini
Is it correct? Because still I haven’t got wifi on the OPO. Thanks!
@ferlanero yes that should be the correct location.
I got this «no wifi» issue on a fresh install and it took me quite a long time to solve it.
Here a summary to fix it from Linux and probably MacOS.
1. Get WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini and change the MAC address of ‘Intf0MacAddress’ by C0EEFB012345 with 012345 anything you want.

2. Restart your phone into recovery and plug it with your best usb cable, open a terminal from the folder where WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini resides and type :
adb devices # start the daemon and verify your phone is plugged-in
adb shell # start a shell in the phone
mkdir /persist # create a folder to mount /persist
mount /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist /persist
exit
adb push WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini /persist/ # send the file
adb shell
adb umount /persist # unmount /persist
exit
3. Restart system from recovery and go to settings / battery to switch wifi on
4. Restart again and enjoy wifi 🙂

I have tried this.But sometimes,the Wifi Switch will also disappear.
My way to solve is
1. sudo dhclient
2. Ctrl+C to kill the process
3. sudo dhclient
Then,the phone will reboot.After reboot,the Wifi can be used.But sometimes if you reboot,it will go back to the native.)
