Your persist partition is corrupted. This also causes your wifi issues.

Maybe this can help you to repair the partition:

This did not help but i tried to copy those files in the Sailfish OS in /persist folder and you no what? It worked :) Now i have the same mac address even if i reboot and the bonus is that i can always change it easily :)

I wanted to fix my corupted /persist partition found some guides but it's a nice "feature" to have. If i just rename that .macaddr file or change mac in it with hexeditor and reboot mac address changes :)

Do not have other files what you have on your phone in /persist but everything seems to work now. I am worried that there may be some GPS stuff, i did not test but now i'll try to update to 2.1.3.7 and check if GPS is working.

But all the sensors stopped working. All of them. Just checked :( i think it's related to that /persist partition. After all i will have to fix that issue.

I just did a fresh install of 2.1.2.3 and OTAed to 2.1.3.7 and everything is working as expected including GPS. On my old installation GPS was broken since the early 2.1.x builds, maybe i messed something up in the config files. I did not mention this in the opening post, since i didn't know if this problem did appear on all installations or if it was simply my phone which didn't work well.
So, if you update, give some feedback to the forum, so that others now if everything is working.

@matemana

Glad everything is working now :) Could you please report back after you OTA if everything works as expected?

Do you have the files in /persist/sensors?
What does 'devel-su systemctl status sensorfwd.service' say?

Since i checked GPS and it did not work too and that systemctl sensorsfd command gave that it did not find sensors. I found that some files related to sensors are on that /persist partition. I do not know how to fix that. Tried your link and found one other but it did not work. It simply removes all the files i put in /persist after reboot.

Now i installed the original android nexus 5 came with 4.4 and i have the same issue with mac address changing on every reboot. /persist is empty there are no files. Here is ls

Code:

~ # cd persist/

/persist # ls

/persist # ls -la

__bionic_open_tzdata: couldn't find any tzdata when looking for localtime!

__bionic_open_tzdata: couldn't find any tzdata when looking for GMT!

__bionic_open_tzdata: couldn't find any tzdata when looking for posixrules!

drwxrwxrwx    2 root     root             0 Jan  4  1970 .

drwxr-xr-x   24 root     root             0 Jan  4  1970 ..

But rotation does work and other sensors too! I do not know what to do else...

I did not have these issues on this phone when 2.0.4.13 was the latest version for it. I do not blame newer image i just said when i did not have these problems :)

P.S. boy android 4.4 is fast it boots in 17 seconds :D

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus5 based on CM13 alpha release

Have you tried reformatting the persist partition and recreatting all files and folders as described in the guide?

Of course i ran

adb shell
e2fsck /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist
make_ext4fs /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist
and created those folders and files as in the guide but as i said everything is removed after reboot.

Also here https://yeri.be/nexus-5-boot-loop after running

e2fsck /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist

command he gets

Code:

e2fsck 1.42.9 (28-Dec-2013)

Superblock has an invalid journal (inode 8).

Clear<y>? y

yes

*** ext3 journal has been deleted - filesystem is now ext2 only ***

Superblock has_journal flag is clear, but a journal inode is present.

Clear<y>? yes

/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist was not cleanly unmounted, check forced.

Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes

Journal inode is not in use, but contains data. Clear<y>?

yes

Pass 2: Checking directory structure

Pass 3: Checking directory connectivity

Pass 4: Checking reference counts

Pass 5: Checking group summary information

Block bitmap differences: -(75--1098)

Fix<y>?

yes

Free blocks count wrong for group #0 (2972, counted=3996).

Fix<y>?

yes

Free blocks count wrong (2972, counted=3996).

Fix<y>?

yes

Recreate journal<y>?

yes

Creating journal (1024 blocks): Done.

*** journal has been re-created - filesystem is now ext3 again ***

/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist: ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****

/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist: 30/1024 files (3.3% non-contiguous), 1124/4096 blocks

I only get line like this and that's it.

/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist: 30/1024 files (3.3% non-contiguous), 1124/4096 blocks

Seems my partition is not corupted but do not know where are all the files and why they do not exist even when i flashed factory image 4.4

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus5 based on CM13 alpha release

For sure e2fsck doesn't find any erors, if you have formatted the partition. Which files are now on this partition? I think the normal flashing process doesn't touch the persist partition. Have you treid this approach?

I do not get it if on /persist there are files needed for sensors sns.reg and other things why they work on android except the wifi issue (mac change on every reboot)

UPDATE:
I was wrong there is sensors directory on /persist and sns.reg inside. It can be seen from the android but not from recovery adb shell. .bdaddr is in /data/property this is why BT and sensors work on android but because there is no .macaddr file anywhere that's why i have an issue with mac address.

I'll search a little bit and then install sailfish OS again. Now i can how to fix that .macaddr issue on it.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus5 based on CM13 alpha release

Are you root in adb shell?

When i click su it gives an error but, i still could create those folders and copy files in /persist from recovery adb shell so i think it does not need su maybe it's already su. Because from the android it does need root to run ls in /persist and to cd /persist at all.

It seems this wifi issue is common. Some they it's some kind of backup when driver can't get real mac address. I found that some mac addresses have these issues.

Look in this video someone is showing nexus 5 with this issue and his mac starts exactly as mine 00:90:4c

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus5 based on CM13 alpha release

You need to be root in ADB shell to execute those commands. Root your phone correctly and enable root for adb in developer settings and try again.
