i encountered the problem of corrupted theme of 4ext. im not sure how it happened. maybe because i flashed CM10.1 then returned back to ViperS ICS? not sure bout that. its not really a problem but its quite annoying to press okay every time i boot into recovery. hehe

Does the rom boot? If so just use the 4ext app to flash a new theme. That should overwrite whatever is corrupted. If that doesn't work reflash the recovery entirely. You can do that from the app too.
If that doesnt work comeback with a more detailed description of exactly what you get.

yeap. the rom did boot up. hmm. how doo i do that from the app? which app? or there's an app for 4ext?
There is an app for 4ext. Its available for download on the play store. Its an absolute must have app if you use 4ext recovery. It makes life so much easier.

Help....changed digitizer and have laggy touch-screen.

I broke the glass on the digitizer on my HTC Sensation here awhile ago. I ordered a new digitizer on Ebay and changed it myself. The phone works fine,but it responds really slow and laggy from time to time. I discovered AFTER i changed the digitizer and threw the old in the thrash that i should have written down the model-number on the old original digitizer. Is there a way to fix it with a new software or do i need to change to a digitizer with the same number as the old that was on the phone ? I dont have a clue what modelno. the old digitizer was since it is thrown away
I think I saw a help thread with this same problem and there was a fix. I'll search and you search and I'll see if I can find it. If so I'll link you to it. You search too because I know I saw a fix for this.

Is there a "software-fix" for my problem or do i need to buy a new digitzer and change it again ? The s/n is : HT15KV817371. The p/n is : 99HNA038-00 A
Since the old digitizer is thrown away i have no clue whatsoever on where to buy the correct digitizer PLEASE HELP......
Can anyone help me with a "correct" number for a new digitizer ? I guess the only option i have. Seems like the proximity sensor is having some problems too.....
Software fix = Flash an RUU.
How does that help? -I don't know what causes the problem, but the RUU restores your phone to stock.

Add your mid to the android_info.txt file inside the zip.
See the RUU guide, it has a point about adding your CID to the file. It's similar.

Just tried to install an older rom i have on the sd-card to see if it is the rom who was acting up. But 4Ext Recovery Touch didnt work either,so i guess its the digitizer who has just decided to die......??? Is there a way to test the digitizer to see if its responsive ?

[HELP] VipersS Flashing Issue

i flashed VipersS and when i reboot it just does like...a boot loop on the bright HTC logo screen??? idk if thats boot looop or not...please someone help me, and im dieing to use VipersS Rom, btw, im on S-OFF
Do you have the correct firmware 3.32 or 3.33? Did you do a wipe before flashing? I'm s off and before I installed viper I wipe cash, wipe dalvik , wipe data factory reset (do this in 4ext recovery) stay in recovery choose zip from sd card , flash, reboot.
It should be fine if you follow those steps and Are using the correct firmware.hope this helps.

Try it as I told you and it should work, wiping is very important. You do have 4 ext recovery don't you? 4 ext makes things very easy, . Just remember to wipe before installation. Hope this helps and hope you enjoy your sensation!

First download the universal 3.33 firmware then you install it from the bootloader.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G with Beats Audio using xda app-developers app
To put the firmware on your device put the pg58img file on root of sd card then reboot into bootloader by removing battery put battery back in, press volume down and power your device will recognize the file and ask to upgrade volume up for yes. It will upgrade then remove the file off the sd card or it will continue to want to update. This is how you install firmware
It seems like a lot but once you do it you won't forget.

Don't know why it's still not booting? You followed all the directions and seemed to have done everything correctly that I know of. Hopefully someone else has more ideas. Try a fresh download see if that will help , if not I'm not sure what else to do.perhaps someone else has some ideas. I do wish you the best and I'm sorry it's not booting? Is it just viper not booting? Very strange. I do wish I could be of more help

Flashing custom rom without s-off

Hi, I want to ask if any of you guys flashing custom rom into device that still s-on but rooted. I'm doing this to my device cause its very hard to me to get the s-off. We need to do short circuit thingy I guess (HTC Sensation XE). My concern here that I'm afraid flashing custom rom to s-on device can harm or brick my device as the developer said to do so. Pls give your opinion. Thx.

What do you mean by doing extra step 1#? Unlocking using HTCDev? Ive done before. But if you say to unlocking HTCDev every time I flashed new rom. Is such a pain. OR, Is that anyway it can be lock again? Coz before this wifi thingy happen ive flash many rom & kernel. I think this cause my wifi not functioning. Sorry Im totaly lost now. Sorry also coz being noob here. My bad.
Thanks in advance. Really need a guide for solving this. FYI I got 2 Sensation XE. The other is just fine with the custom rom. But this one is gave me so much trouble.

escpecially in S-ON devices after flashing a custom rom if the smartflash feature(4ext recovery) fails(you notice that when the device is trying to boot the rom and it is bootlooping)then the only option is to flash the boot.img of the rom manually
Not true!!!

I am still S-ON and I flash whatever roms I like. It is very difficult to hard brick your phone if you're S-ON. If however you're S-OFF, you can potentially screw up your phone. So no worries about bricking if you're S-ON (unless you do something really really naughty!!!).

Did you try going back to Stock ROM? I would strongly recommend flashing back to the Stock Rom and then --
Enter the following line of USSD code in your Phone Dialer to get into the Diagnostic Menu
type *#*#3424#*#* and you will enter in HTC Diagnostic menu 3424 means (DIAG)
Test your Wifi and Bluetooth from there. If you are still not getting any positive results, then go the Settings > About Phone > Software update and check for any updates regarding the phone from Htc.
I faced a similar problem regarding Wifi not powering on and it turned out to be a Settings Update which broke the Wifi. I uninstalled the update and the phone worked as a charm.
Good Luck,
Ravi.

The golden pins in the back cover also need to be clean in order to Wi-Fi work.
EDIT: Make sure the golden pins & back cover are very clean, and in contact properly.
All antennas are in the back cover.
Including bluetooth.
