Hi all, I've flashed several roms onto my sensation over the last 4-5 months and have never had a problem. Each time I've backed up and restored the phone before loading a new rom. Most recently (2-3 weeks ago) I flashed the Android_Revolution_HD-Sensation_6.5.1_XE rom and have since had some issues with my handset. To rule out it being a rom fault I've tried to do several restores today but end up getting stuck on the htc boot screen!!
I installed the new firmware etc for ARHD 6.5.1 as was said to do, incase thats anything to do with it. I have 2 backups on my one sd card, first back to ARHD 3.6.1 which is what i was running before ARHD 6.5.1 and one back to stock rom before i flashed ARHD 3.6.1. On another sd card I have a stock rom backup from when I tried my first 2 roms.
I've tried restoring from all of these too no avail and really need to get my phone back running.
One last thing is the ARHD 3.6.1 zip file is no longer on my laptop or the sd card Is this why it now wont boot???
Hopefully someone can help me asap!
Many Thanks in advance
Matt
You need to flash the correct firmware for the rom that's on your backup, then restore back up and you should be fine.

Download the newest pg58img file and update it. I had the same problem when I first flashing.

There are also some great instructions on the ARHD dev site.

And remember to delete the PGM58xxx file from your phone after flashing it.

Sorry for delayed response, thanks to the guys that got back to me about this. I re-flashed ARHD 6.5.1 and got the phone back working but would still really like to go back to my back ups. How do i get the correct firmware?? The only time I upgraged the firmware was for the ARHD 6.5.1 rom so firmware before im guessing was just stock!! Any help?
Cheers

I'm guessing ur backups are gingerbread. So the firmware would b 1.17 I believe. (i had to do the same thing to restore my gb backup) There's a firmware thread in tha dev section by user kohr-ah

Yeah all backups are gingerbread. I've downloaded the 1.17 firmware after following craven667 post. Will hopefully get to try it later but sd card is full at the minute so cant run titanium backup, which is typical. Thanks again for your help
Ok so i recently decided to switch back to gingerbread after being on ics for a while and i chose today to flash cyanogenmod 7.2 stable. I flashed it and everything is peachy, but i cannot hear anything while in a call. No ringing and no voice from the other person on the phone. I know it isnt a bad download because i checked the md5 before i flashed. Is this a normal bug? Is there an easy fix? Any help would be appreciated because i would rather not re-set up my phone after a re-flash. Thanks guys.
I had the same problem when i flashed the last 2 nightlys. I thought it was the baseband because i was still using the old one. So i went back to stock GB, used the LG tool to get the new baseband and everything is working fine now. Only probelm is im still trying to root it, which i know isnt hard but for some reason its not working -_-

Have you tried to restore the stock ROM?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529941
I agree I would recommend flashing the full ruu to take you back to stock Rom I did the same thing to get rid of my problem and flashing the full ruu did the trick I'm now s off Revolutionary style and flash 4ext custom recovery and su file and custom Rom the correct way

Hi,
I believe THIS PATCH will restore your hboot to 1.27 and not "LOCKED"
Silly question,did you try rebooting your router?

EDIT: it says -Revolutinary- and HBOOT is 1.27.1100 Thanks!
router works, coz we are using several phones and notebook @home...
I am afraid the worse scenario...burned chip or motherboard.
Or maybe if i get back to S-ON, unroot and restore complete stock...?

Hi,
The other thing worth considering are the 2 gold pins inside the phone,just above the camera lens.
GENTLY lift them to make a better contact.

I am afraid, even this is not working. Pins definetly have some resistance and resting to its place. :-/ when i return from vacation, i´ll take my precious Sensation XE to a doctor, he will know perhaps.
I have this problem too. I've been using ViperS 1.1.0 for a few weeks without any wifi problem. Yesterday, the wifi was working like normal then in the evening I flashed HyperNonsense 3.3 just to try it. Didn't like it, so I restored nandroid of my ViperS, then flashed yank555's faux123 kernel v2.52. I only realised wifi is not working today morning. It just shows "Turning On", but nothing happens. Could it be kernel issue? Previously i was using yank555 v1.9 without any issue thoguh.
i also have the same problem with the wi fi turning on for 10 mins then it shows error
mine came with the initial ics ota update a very common problem i see on the net not only wifi but bluue tooth also not work
i installed the latest ota a week or so ago which cured a few bugs but still no wifi or bluetooth
so.... i did jb s offf , root etc installed CM9 this fixed the blue tooth and made the screen move reactive and smooth this is one cool ROM BUT still no wifi
any and all suggestions welcome but please consider i am a noob http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/confused.gif and may need a few signposts
thanks in advance

I honestly don´t know, i thought, wifi is (almost)only kernel related, but now i see, that it is not :/ It is almost exactly my problem, i was using ViperS and changed kernel...but it didn´t suit me, so i restored the previous one...than i woke up and wifi is gone i cant solve it for now, i don´t have any freetime at this moment for making full stock condition.
i have tested stock rom with stock kernel, with some other HBOOT but still the same.

Your wifi stops working through an official update? You should claim it! it is not your fault...for me, everything works, except thing about wifi like tethering etc., thats a serious problem, even reflasing the whole phone (rom, radio, hboot, kernel) doesn't help :/
I had Xperia Arc before Sensation XE and reflash always helps, no matter what happens.

I thing, if you changed rom, kernel etc. and wifi is still not working, another rom will be no help i am afraid but take your chances! it is not working for me. I can flash any ROM, any Kernel and the result is the same...

All I had to do was pull that file out from the directory and turn on wifi and *poof* it worked again. When I turned wifi on it created a new file and everything has been great so far this afternoon.
In case anyone wants to give it a shot who is having wifi issues you can find the wpa_supplicant.conf file in /data/misc/wifi/ directory on your phone. Simply cut/rename the file and put it somewhere else. If you have wifi passwords you want to save, you can open the original file using a text editor and copy the settings over to the new file.
I believe the cause of my issue was actually Titanium Backup. Looking at the last time it backed up my wifi settings was back when I wasn't running ICS yet. Yesterday I did restore an app using it and must have accidentally restored that old backup. Their formats are different from Gingerbread to ICS apparently and it was causing errors.
i found this on another post dont know if it will help but it could be the problem with the ota update from gb to ics
now the silly noob question how do you access the directory ????http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/icons/advanced/sign.png
i got into the directory but it doesnt seem to work in another thread someone got it to work with a virtuous rom
ill try that on thr weekend
enjoy your vacation
hmmm thats iteresting, but if you do full-wipe and flash some rom and kernel, these files are rewriten...but because i am curious i tried it and!!! it is not working for me :-/
And how to get into this directory?Simply... download dome file manager from Play Market(i lika Total Commander), but you can use whatever you like, set in options "root function everywhere" and allow superuser. than you can go in any directory and read/write/change
EDIT: ou, now a see whole post, ignore my instruction i am mega-sleepy

I fixed it by doing a full wipe, flashed ViperS 1.2.1, reboot, use the phone for a few minutes, then flashed Yank v2.52.

No help for me still the same "turning on"
Hi,
Yesterday sudelly my wifi and BT isn't working, Wifi giving me "error" when I am tring to enable it.
Today I flashed a new kernel with a new ROM and it is still not working.
I tried to use Wifix manager and it didn't help either.
Anyone one got any idea what to do?
I am currently running CM10 by Kang rom and his kernel.
I'm not to familiar with that rom but have you tried to do a clean install with full wipe? I'm running jelly bean too but different rom and was having Wi-Fi problems it just would not connect. So I did a full wipe and another clean install then it started working perfectly for me. It' couldn't hurt to try. Hope this helps. It worked for me. Best wishes
Sent from my HTC Sensation
I wiped everything from the recovery and installed new rom.
Did you have the problem with the masseage "error" on wifi?
Mine kept saying "connecting" but never connected. It just kept connecting over and over. But would not actually connect. After I wiped again and did another install it connected without a problem however I never got a message actually saying "error".by chance have you tired another rom to see if it connects ? Could be rom related? Maybe try another rom and see if the error continues to appear?
Or is this happening on all roms you install?
Sent from my HTC Sensation
First I tried to reinstall my old rom and still didn't worked but now I tested with different rom and still having that issue.
I hope its not an hardware problem.
Have you tried wifix? I believe you can download from here it might help.

Im having same problem! But in JB roms my BT IS working so I think its not hardware problem coz BT and WIFI are on same chip. And more and more ppl are getting this problem and looks like no one can help us. So pls DEVS help us somehow .
Anyone might know the answer for this?
Could be a hardware issue. It's happening on my phone too, and i've flashed several roms.
This occured right after I dropped by my phone, and since it's both BT and Wifi, which the antenna's are located in the same relative area on the phone - i'd assume that's the issue.
