ANY HELP please? I REALLY NEED THE PHONE FUNCTION!

Check the MD5 tags for both the firmware and VI4.0 downloads, do a superwipe and flash the ROM first, then the firmware - don't try to boot the ROM until the firmware is loaded.
Delete the firmware file immediately after.
I would also super CID if I were you.

MD5 tags the same, superwiped and flashed the rom after installin the firmware.
LE: Should i try installing HyperNonSense?

In that case I would suggest flashing the stock ICS release to check all is well, VI4.0 has an overclocked kernel which might be your problem.
Also, try reflashing the firmware to eliminate any update error.

As i read on noob guides on firmwares i found out that very few users cant boot the os correctly with HBOOT 1.27. I am among them. Any solutions? I want to try
VI 4.0 so bad. Till then i am running my old VI 3.0 backup with firmware 3.12 and hboot 1.23.

Make sure you deleted firmware zip from your sd card

your like me your phone my not like firmware

[Q] New radio. Phone not booting. Cant mount SD

Okay I've got a problem when phone could not find signal. It just started at a random moment not after rom install or something.
My configuration was:
Firmware: Not sure exactly but it's definitely one of those: 3.12.401.2/102 RUU or
3.24.401.1 & 3.25.401.101 RUU
ROM
ROM: ARHD 6.5.0
So I decided to install InsertCoin 5.1.7
I've run SuperWipe from ARHD installed it and phone started up normaly.
The radio:
1) I've downloaded:
Ice Cream Sandwich Base From the 3.24.401.1 RUU & HTC-RIL 4.0.0012HMQ from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1202867
2) I've copied PG58IMG to sd and installed trough bootloader.
3) I've run SuperWiperARHD and installed HTC-RIL 4.0.0012HMQ trough Recovery install from zip.
Now my phone is stuck at SENSATION logo (which is the actually the HTC logo but it is replaced in Insertcoin rom.
I decied to do recovery which I made after I installed InsertCoin rom but now Recovery can't find my SD card.
Please advice me what to do.

I've managed to flash 3.12.401.2/102 RUU radio by this method:
1. Check the MD5 checksum of the radio.img file against the RADIO.IMG MD5 checksum below. Download whatever utility you like to do it with, but please check it first to lower the potential risk of bricking your phone.
2. Connect your phone into a PC, and make sure that USB Debugging is enabled on the phone.
3. Open a command prompt on the PC. Change to the directory where your phone tools with adb.exe are located.
4. Type:
Code:
cd \phonetools
adb reboot bootloader
5. Once your phone is in bootloader and you see a white screen with text and FASTBOOT USB near the top of the screen, type:
Code:
fastboot flash radio radio.img
6. When the flashing completes, type
Code:
fastboot reboot
7. Done. Enjoy!
And again phone was not booting afte the HTC logo. So I laucneh 4ext Recovery this time SD was mounted I did restore and nice Sensation booted up. So 2 questions:
1)Apparently restoring restores old radio too? Am I right?
2)What could be the reasons the radio install went wrong. I am happy my phone booted but I am not satisfied when I don't know the source of the error.
EDIT: Signal problem is from SIM card. Should have tried this before reflashing but I was so sure it's phone fault. Never mind still curious what caused the phone not to boot Android after radio flash.

Wow, you got that in about an hour. That's really good and hopefully may help some other poor soul save his phone.

Well I didn't do much the restore fixed my problem but I am still frustrated I can't understand the origin of it. Please help me to solve why the phone didn't want to boot when I installed the new radio.

someone correct me if im wrong, But insertcoin 5.1.7 requires firmware 3.32 and according to your first post your still running firmware 3.12 / 3.24
That would explain the bootloop, All you need to do is grab the 3.32 firmware and flash that and the ROM *should* work...
The ROM is attempting to boot from outdated firmware, hence the bootloop.
EDIT: Its possible the radio was a bad download, Did you check MD5 Checksum... Did the radio and RIL match ? Was the radio you downloaded for use with YOUR CURRENT firmware ?

If it requires 3.32 I am with 3.32 beacuse before I flashed the radio there was not bootloop (I never had bootlop with new radio flashed i had stuck on HTC logo) and I check the MD5 sums.

If you are stuck on HTC logo, that is a bootloop, Did the phone ever boot past HTC or was it stuck on that until you restored ?
Is your phone working now ? Check your firmware under settings > About phone.
The latest InsertCoin ROM requires 3.32 firmware, It says it on the first post of the thread. You mentioned in your first post you didnt know which Fimrware you was on it was either 3.12 / 3.24 / 3.25 --- you need(ed) 3.32

I have 3.32 firmware. Phone was booting normally before I installed the radio. After only to HTC logo. After restore phone is working.

Well that kinda points out that the fault is with the radio then which you knew of course
Is the radio you are flashing the one recommended for your ROM ?

I couldn't find recommended radio for InsertCoin. The problem occurred after I installed the radio so the problem is with the radio that's for sure. But I didn't saw anywhere any restrictions what radios I can flash based on my firmware with the 3.32 I should be able to flash 3.12 or 3.24 radio right?

try this one http://tinyurl.com/7ojldhn
this is recommended for 3.32 firmware.

Thanks but I think I wont mess anymore with the radio for now since my problem was from the SIM card but I just wanted to solve the mystery why the phone was stuck at HTC logo.

Wifi fixed on 3.33 update, but not in custom roms

My sensation (Non XE) was initially with ASIA ruu, after receiving ICS update, my WIFI was dead and after 3.33 recent update, it was fixed. Now I want to install custom rom with sense 4, but they are based on 3.32 ruu, and my wifi is not working on it. so what should I do? should I install 3.32 rom and after that flash radio which is in 3.33 or what...
Thanks in advance

[Q] one S hboot 1.14 wont load OTA

I'm a Noob with a problem. I believe this is what happen i updated the one s via OTA 1.84.531 gave me hboot 1.140004 and radio 1.08ts.50.02.16 then i decided to Root. when I rooted i flashed to a rom that apparently broke my wifi. I did not have a nandroid backup (epic FAIL) so i found the 1.53 stock nadroid on a forum inorder to unroot and flash RUU 1.53 which should re flash the One s to stock and fix wifi. After re locking boot loader and trying RUU 1.53.531 and 1.84 get error "155" from RUU, so i tried OTA, OTA downloaded but fails on install. what i believe i need is a non rooted 1.84.531 nandroid backup to match my baseband and hboot. because my radio is most recent and Hboot is 1.14.0004 havent been able to flash radios. Please HELP hope i was clear
HTC one S TMO US
stock non root-1.53.531.16 710RD
base-band 1.08ts.50.02.16_10.08e.50.04l
hboot-1.14.0004
[fixed] one step missing when i was trying to unroot with RUU I needed to flash STOCK RECOVERY before updating. didnt even have to OEM lock. after that OTA worked fine fully updated One s and most importantly fixed WIFI.

Help getting back to stock

I'm planning on putting my phone fully back to stock. I just have a few questions that I can't find answers to, if anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.
Background
S4 Version
HBoot: 1.06*
Bought the phone second hand, it was carrier unlocked and already rooted etc.*
The phone CID says orangeuk, but*I use 3UK Network.*I'm going to have to use SuperCID before I flash the ruu, because there is no orangeUK ruu available.
1.**Is the HTC_001 the best CID to use for ota's and ruu files?
2. When I re-lock bootloader and flash ruu, will I lose the carrier unlock?
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app

I dont have an answer for 1 but im pretty sure about 2 that carrier unlock wont go. Once you unlock it it stays unlocked

Right, this is my plan to get back to stock. If anyone has any better ideas please let me know!
1. Change radio 1.06es version to match ruu radio (read somewhere the ruu might not run if my radio is newer, currently 1.11)
2. Change CID to HTC__001 to run 2.31 WWE ruu.
3. Re-lock Bootloader
4. Run 2.31 WWE ruu
5. Update software via OTA to JB.
6. Carrier unlock phone if necessary using code created while rooted.
Questions
Do I have to flash stock recovery or will the ruu do that?
Can I run the 2.31 WWE ruu from hboot 1.06, or do I need to use 1.53 ruu as that has the same hboot?
I assume the OTA will also update my radio to 1.11?
Thanks

The RUU should update everything. Including the stock recovery, Hboot, and radio. I already Rooted the One S. Then unrooted. Then rooted again. The only thing i will mention....
Make sure you have the stock Boot.img first. Then use Fastboot to load the boot.img. then you can flash the RUU. Good luck
