I have updated my nexus 5 to the latest update and my phone's wifi isn't working anymore. tried installing stock ROM again and rolling back the update, still the issue persists.
I'll try keep this short; I flashed Marshmallow and had awful WiFi, so i downgraded to 5.0 and the wifi issue stayed. After flashing different 5.0 firmwares and messing about i managed to fix it.
I noticed my carrier re-released MM, so i assumed the WiFi bug was fixed, and of course; I was wrong.
Present time: I flashed back to 5.0 again and now the WiFi issues have stayed, Ive been spending the whole of today messing about with different firmwares trying to find one with WiFi that doesnt suck. Wifi appeared to get better one time however there were performance issues (for some reason)
Any idea how I can return to stock 5.0 with Wifi working? I've tried just flashing Modem and I've probably flashed about 6 times since i was last on MM.
EDIT: IF YOU KNOW HOW TO FIX MM WIFI THAT WOULD BE EVEN BETTER
Hello guys,
as the title says I am currently with the mobile data connection not being established on custom ROMs, the official MIUI ROM works fine. Before trying to go to LineageOS 14.1 I ran this 13.1 ROM for quite some time successfully.
This is what I did since trying to migrate to Andoid 7.1:
I flashed the latest MIUI Global Dev ROM, this locked my bootloader again, so I tried this for installing TWRP and custom ROMs with locked bootloader and this for unlocking the bootloader unofficially. Both methods generally worked, but mobile data did work on neither of them (I checked for the correct APN).
So I tried to go back to the LineageOS 13 ROM (clean flash, since I accidentally deleted my backup) I used before, but it also does not work on that version anymore.
Does anyone have any idea what the issue could be or how I could possibly find out what causes this?
Edit: I am now actually back to the latest MIUI Global Dev and hoping that I am able to unlock the bootloader officially eventually. But any tips on the issue above would still be appreciated.
Edit 2: On the 8.0 NitrogenOS mobile data does work. I first thought that it yet had to be an APN problem, so I copied the settings from this ROM to the LineageOS 14.1 ROM and deleted all other APNs, but that actually did nothing, it still did not work. So I guess I will stay on 8.0 for now, although I wanted 7.1 because of XPosed.
Edit 3: Suddenly stopped working on Android 8. Seems to work on the first boot after flashing a Android 8 ROM and then not anymore. Going back to MIUI...
This post helped me with the issue. After a soft reboot mobile data just works fine even after enabling/disabling airplane mode.

Did you find a persistent method to solve the problem?
I have the same problem but Mobile Data only works after first boot and first soft reboot - than never ever.
BTW it works on MIUI ROMS without any problem.

Hello
2 days ago i was trying to flash LineageOS 17.1 on my redmi note 3 (kenzo). Here it said i need latest MIUI GS 10.2.1.0 so i flashed it using TWRP, rebooted, then tried to flash LineageOS but i couldn't because i got error 7 "this package is for device kate kenzo this device is ." so i googled it and found a post here by user LeoYL that i need to change lines in META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script and i just deleted those lines since my device for some reason wasnt recognised as neither kenzo nor kate, then i could flash without any problems, then i rebooted again and flashed those gapps. When i rebooted to system, my SIM card was not detected, my IMEI was shown as "unknown" and my WI-FI wasnt working either (i dont know if bluetooth worked, i didnt check since i never really use it anyway).
After that i thought it was some sort of LineageOS problem, so i tried flashing Bliss and Evolution-X but had same problems on those.
Before all of this i was using LineageOS 14.1 for like 3 or 4 years (a long time anyway) and right before flashing MIUI 10.2.1.0 everything was working perfectly fine. I'm also 100% sure my phone is Kenzo since MIFlash won't let me flash any Kate software but Kenzo software is getting flashed with no problems. I tried to fastboot flash MIUI 10.1.1.0 for Kenzo (i couldn't find fastboot flash for 10.2.1.0, so i flashed 10.1.1.0), 10.2.1.0 for Kate, (i deleted lines in flash_all_lock.bat responsible for checking whether device is Kate or Kenzo and then MiFlash let me flash it) but it wasn't working on both.
I checked 3 different SIM cards, two different ones for slot 1, and one for slot 2, none of them worked on my phone while they worked fine on 2 other phones i have.
Ever since then i was trying to fix this and after countless attempts, with this guide's help i managed to get my phone to a state in which my WI-FI is working, SIM card is detected, IMEI is there, but still i have no signal. This guide says that i need to flash the QCN file but i didn't backup mine so i tried flashing the one in attachments and all it did was make my phone again not detect any SIM card, IMEI shown as unknown and WI-FI not working. I found another QCN file in some XDA thread (cant find it right now) and flashed it but it didn't fix my issue.
Sorry that this post is quite long but i wanted to include all info i can. I hope that someone actually can figure out what is wrong with my phone. Thanks in advance for all replies.

I think u were using old twrp.
If u get error 7. Then u should use twrp 3.3.1 latest official.

Yes when i was flashing for the first time i was still on twrp 3.1
Right now i have twrp 3.3.1, i flashed miui 10.2.1.0 using fastboot then flashed LineageOS 17.1 and it didnt change anything. My phone detects SIM card but i have no signal, when i try to call someone i get an error that says i need to turn off airplane mode so i tried turning it on and off but it didnt fix anything.

Yes i have unlocked bootloader in official way.
I wasnt confused whether my phone is kenzo or kate, i knew it was kenzo. I only started "experimenting" because i was looking for a solution to my problem on google and there were a lot of different guides on fixing my phone. I flashed kate MIUI once to "try my luck" as you said. Modem got broken probably after flashing MIUI using TWRP instead of fastboot when i was flashing before first attempt at installing lineageos 17.1. To be honest I didn't know that it makes any difference. When i bought the phone a couple of years ago I flashed lineageos 14.1 without any problems and it was just working so I didn't really expect anything to go wrong this time.
Anyway, i know what i did was quite stupid when i look at it from today's perspective, i am just looking for a way to fix it now :/

Kate comes with extra band 20. U cant flash kate modem files on kenzo. Hardware wont accept it.
Kate miui rom also contains kate modem files.
Try to Flash kenzo old fastboot rom. May be older miui 7 based on lollipop.
So I installed PixelExperience Rom on my phone with OrangeFox, and it worked fine. The issue is when I reverted back to the original Miui Rom. My speaker sound lags and after a while of use, goes silent. It doesn't matter what app I'm using, The phone services are also offline. I used multiple Miui versions; 12.0.6.0, 12.5.5.0, 11.0.10.0, 11.0.3.0.
Update: I used the 13.0.2.0 SJWMIXM and it's running fine so far. here is the ROM link if anyone faced the same issue
https://bigota.d.miui.com/V13.0.2.0.SJWMIXM/curtana_global_images_V13.0.2.0.SJWMIXM_20220725.0000.00_12.0_global_eb85230cd5.tgz
