Wifi 'Turning on...' loop



Alright, I'm only posting here because I have been desperately trying to fix my phone's Wifi.

Galaxy Note 4

Model Number : SM-N910T - T-Mobile

The problem that is happening is that no matter what, the wifi will not turn on. The button/slider to turn it on will be stuck either the left or right. Either way, it will just show on the screen that it is 'Turning On...'

I know for a fact that it is not a hardware issue. It has worked perfectly, and what happened to set it not to work anymore is that I rooted it, and installed a custom ROM. the Infamous rom.

I tried to revert back to the stock firmware, and I did successfully, but to no avail. It did not fix the issue.
I tried reflashing the kernel with a number of different ones, but still never fixed it.
I tried pulling the battery, the SIM card, as well as the SD card.
I tried many different roms and kernels.
I tried going into the system files and deleting the data/misc/wifi files.
I tried changing the wlan0 in the build to eth0.
I tried giving it a few good wacks. (I saw on a different forum that this was a common way to fix.)
I tried using all those 'WiFi Fixer' apps.

What am I missing? What way is there to possibly fix it? I've been trying different things for many hours of all of my days for the past week.
I feel like I've tried everything. The MAC address for the wifi/bluetooth is fine, it shows it is correct. The wifi will just not get past the 'Turning On..." loop.

Someone please shed some light on this.
