WiFi and Bluetooth don't work after following the unbrick guide - OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers

Got my OP3 hard-bricked recently. I followed Naman Bhalla's unbrick guide and flashed down to OOS 3.x. Everything works fine except the WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS.
The GPS toggle activates when I click on the icon, but it never calibrates my actual position.
The WiFi toggle doesn't activate, no matter how much I try.
The same goes for the Bluetooth option as well.
You can see the problem for yourself here
If I try to flash a new version of OOS, the phone freezes mid-boot and keeps restarting.
Any suggestions?

What happens when you try to activate these from Settings?
Flashing OOS later versions may solve the issues. What method did you use for flashing the later versions, adb or TWRP? Try adb.
I didn't face any such issues when I used the Unbrick Guide.

@rahulkulhalli
Do you have op3 or op3t ? This is for op3 .
If you have op3t use this guide

I tried, but I run into the same bootloop.
I used TWRP touch.
Could you tell me what steps you took after flashing to OOS 3.x?

I simply flashed the then latest version of TWRP and then clean flashed the later version of OOS and then clean flashed custom ROM coupled with flashing of proper firmware after a couple of days, all using TWRP.
Which version of TWRP do you use? After the OOS 3.x boots up, flash TWRP 3.2.3 official and then try using that for the further ROM installations. If this also fails, use adb to install the ROM. Don't go straight to a custom ROM since you seem to have firmware issues.
You haven't said what happens if you try to enable wifi, BT etc from Settings instead of from Quick Setting tiles.

What I think is you need flash the latest wifi and bluetooth drivers. Just download them from this link and flash using twrp

You may need to reflash the OS after installing the firmware. Don't directly try to install custom roms after flashing the firmware. First flash latest stable build from official oneplus site, boot into OS and then you can do whatever you want with your device.

[Q] Installing rom(slimkat) from Stock 4.4.2

Hello. I've been flashing/installing customs roms all day..
I can't seem to solve my problem. Wi-fi wont connect in any of 4.4.x custom roms(slimkat,paranoid..etc)
however it works fine on 4.2.2, 4.4.2 stock and LRS rom
full packaged rom seems to be only solution for me.
heres what i did
My device came with 4.4.2.
I downgraded to 4.2.2
rooted
used loki/twrp package to install twrp 2.6.3.2
wiped data/cache/dalvik
installed custom rom
boots device fine but wifi wont connect(i do see list of wifi network)
tried following
higher version of twrp(s)
tried 4.2.2/4.4.2 flashable bootstacks
tried different type of roms from infected website
tried flashing custom roms after flashing 4.2.2 + 4.4.2 flashable stock roms
none seems to be working.
=( are there any other steps i need to do?
perhaps missing correct kernels?
thanks in advance.
What model gpad do you have? It looks like a v500. Sometimes a factory reset after ROM install helps. Does android settings show the WiFi MAC address?
If it does the kernel at least detects the WiFi hardware on a basic level.
I do know that slimkat after installing seems to require a reboot for things to settle. However as i recall that was for some of the sensors not wifi. Did you reboot after install?
Also did you set the WiFi region in the advanced part of the WiFi settings?

v500
did reset/reboot still doesnt work.
mac address/region information(changed to us/can/europe for test) is there.
i did notice that there is no bluetooth address however i did install many other custom rom.
this isn't the only rom with the problem.
What did you use to downgrade to 4.2.2?

WiFi Not Working.

I had my OP5T rooted and was on OOS 4.7.5. Last night I tried to update to OOS Open Beta 2 by downloading the zip from the OnePlus website and flashed it with TWRP. Since then I am unable to connect to any WiFi at all.
I've tried to flash different versions of OOS and even different custom ROMs (LOS/AICP). Right now I'm on stock 4.7.2, with stock recovery and locked bootloader. Even then I cannot connect to WiFi. It's not my router, other devices can connect to it easily. I even tried to connect to a hotspot from another device. No luck.
So is there anything else that I can do? Like flashing some specific firmware? Or is it a hardware issue?! Any help is appreciated.
@jcespi2005 had the same problem, and solved it here https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5t/help/wifi-issues-rolling-to-stock-oos-t3730017/page3
Maybe he can give you more advice if that doesn't work.
Flash oos open beta 1 . .

Just to be clear, you were on 4.7.5 and flashed the OB2 and thats when you lost your wifi? That's the opposite of what most of us experience....we upgraded to the OB1 or 2 but lost it when we reverted back 4.7.X.
I got mine back finally by clean flashing 4.7.2 followed by a dirty flash of 4.7.6
I've been flashing 4.7.2/4.7.4/4.7.6/OB1/OB2 like a mad man! Nothing works. No combination of clean/dirty flash works. WiFi still busted.
Just an update : I got my phone back from the service center. They had to change the freaking motherboard! Everything work fine now (with Oreo).

Wifi does not activate

Wifi of my OP3 can not be activated anymore. Also, latest build 5.0.5 bootloops (maybe because of that). I tried msmdownloadtool to restore to OOS 3.1.2 and it booted up again, but no wifi possible. I then tried unlocking the bootloader and installing a custom (omni) rom, but still wifi can not be activated. So, is this a hardware fault?

Without a logcat there is no way of telling. Best advice would be to make sure you are completely stock (rooted for logcat) and go from there.

I will try, but the last time I tried booting the latest stock rom, the phone bootlooped. Probably because of the wifi. I will flash it again through twrp and hope for the best

Three custom ROMs, none have working wifi

At this point, I'm assuming I did something with my phone. I've easily tried twenty combinations between different ROMs and gapps packages. I used TWRP, and didn't make a backup because I'm dumb.
None of my installations (if I can get past Google crash notifications) have usable wifi, and on one occasion, the flashlight wouldn't work. Bluetooth is able to be turned on, but I haven't tried connecting anything.
Any advice? I've been trying the whole process on Mac. My Windows machine isn't even recognizing the drivers I've downloaded. At this point, I'd settle for the stock ROM again.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Sorry for the late reply. Sounds like a persist partition issue. Flash stock ROM .
Hi!
Following up on that - had the same, flashed different Pie roms and none would have functioning wifi. And yes, i did flash stock rom via Emma few times.
Any ideas?
Maybe there is something in flashing process? I had other phones (HTC, Samsung) and flashing them was never a problem....
Additionally - tried hard to get xposed to work via Magisk, but all i got was bootloop. Any advice how to get Xposed to work ? I have XA2.
Thanks!

Flash latest rom via xflasher and everything working fine
Well, i have no problem with flashing factory ROM. I had problems with custom ROMs.
Anyway - managed to get it. I guess it has to do with dual boot partition, so that one should restart via recovery, and only then restart system.. Or something like that
I had the same problem after flashing custom ROMs. It seems that you have to enable Wi-Fi in stock rom before flashing any customs.

Question poco f3, wifi only working for 1 min after factory reset and not after.

works fine during setup then vanishes and the wifi button doesn't do anything afterwards. is it hardware or software related?
weird thing i noticed is that any wifi related setting, will make the settings crash and not respond...

edit: seems like i have to unlock the bootloader to install a different rom, will update in a week
Sounds like a major issue , after watching the video, 2 things I would try remove sim reboot then try, of still fails the ROM must be corrupt , I would reinstall/flash sounds like you tried a factory reset so thats what I would do
thank you for your response. I did remove the sim and factory reset but no change. Can I reeinstall without having the phone unlocked? or is that only possible with an unlocked phone and the fastboot thing?
edit: found out how to local update rom, going to that and see how it goes.
edit2: installed a new rom but the issue still persist.

you meant to say you just did a update? you will need unlocked bootloader I do believe but not positive if your going from stock to stock
I installed MIUI 13.0.3 with this method https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?guide=1 but the same problem with the WIFI persist. If it was an software issue it should have fixed it right? so I'm thinking that it might be a hardware issue instead.
