Hi, suddenly my pixel 3 can’t see any networks. It seems such a strange problem. Because it’s a test phone, i wiped it to default, no fix.

Flashed android 9. The same. (with flash.android.com, which also refreshes the radio firmware)

Flashed android 11. No change.

Went back to android 12. No change

Some interesting fact: if i share something with “nearby share”, the window is frozen and nothing appears, except a white dialog with no text

Has it happened to anyone that a phone wifi suddenly dies?

Something that i could do with root, to restart the modem or something like that?

    update: i flashed /e/OS v.1.14 and it still can’t see any wifi. In the about section, it says “wifi MAC address unavailable”

      This is a common issue with flashing custom kernals. Usually rebooting 4-5 times fixes it.

      If Bluetooth is working, it’s not a hardware issue.

        i’m hopeful, but after many reboot (hard via long press, via adb, via safe mode) it still does not work.

        bluetooth works, i transfered a wifi scanner app

      That sounds like your /efs partition has been corrupted / wiped.

      And, if you didn’t backup said partition before tinkering you’re screwed.

      Sorry.

        But ’#06’ shows correctly the IMEI and the other serials

        Also, WiFi stopped working when the phone was in stock ROM with locked bootloader (wiping and changing roms was to try to see if it was hw or sw problem)

        I don’t have any backup to restore
