Comment on My phone can't see any wifi networks: hardware issue?

Now that i remember, a decade ago something like that happened on my iphone 4. It could not find any wifi. If i went to the iOS setting, the wifi MAC address was “not available”. I just checked on my android phone, and the wifi MAC address is what’s supposed to be

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
