WiFi error's after flashing HTC unlock bootloader

Boy oh boy, I had a really tough few days trying to flash a custom rom. I was pretty heavy into flashing roms from the G1 days until I got my sensation on the day it was released. I then took a long break. Well 2 days ago I decided to Unlock my Bootloader through the HTC website. Everything went well. I did notice the ******UNLOCKED****** in the bootloader I also noticed the S-ON(security was still on). I didn't think this mattered. Was I ever wrong. With that S-On you cannot flash new radio's. I have never been able to flash a PG58IMG.zip file from hboot/fastboot. I can however flash recovery's from fastboot using (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img).
Seems as if every single rom I tried needs the Security-OFF to work correctly. I was able to put clockwork mod 5.0 on my phone, and install super wipe, and several roms, the problem I ran into is I would get a error under the switch for wifi. Wifi would not work on any of the 5 roms I tried before this one. I was wanting to give up and go back to stock for several hours. I tried the RUU to bring me back to build 1.27 and build 1.29 both were unsuccessful. I was stuck at build 1.73.401.2 and no way possible to get back to stock. And picture this living in a area with tmobile that is still using the edge network(2 ****ing g) OMFG I was so mad trying to even boot a new rom without wifi is a nightmare, took me literally 20 minutes to download rom manager. Anyway's this rom was the last one I tried before busting my phone into pieces.
Rom's I tried:
1. Android Revolution 3.6.1, and 4.1 (3.6.1 booted but had no wifi)
2. RCMix 3.5 v04 (bootloop)
3. LeeDroid booted fine (no wifi)
4. I believe there was one other I tried. NO GO
5. Then I flashed this one late last night, and to my surprised it worked.
I was so happy I almost pissed myself.
Oh yeah I tried many irc channels, one was the revolutionary.io irc channel, I was able to successfully run the rev.io tool and it showed as a success however my S-was still ON. I talked to these guys for about 45 minutes looking for other ideas. They pretty much told me I was screwed and that it had never been tested after you unlocked through HTC. And it simply might never work.
Anyway I guess what I am getting at. For anyone else that might have to go through what I did.
1. How in the world can you get you phone back to complete stock?
2. Why is this happening?
3. Why is my wifi not working with any other rom? And everyone else's is?
4. How do I go about getting my S-OFF?
5. Does anyone know if you can RELOCK your bootloader through HTC so that I can turn the SECURITY-OFF and "then" unlock the bootloader.
I probably have more question's. I just wanted to see if I might be able to get a few answers from you fine people. Help me understand what in the world is going on and how many other people are dealing with what I am dealing with.

Personally i would just do the normal s-off method as it gives you a little more freedom compared to HTC unlocking method.
My wifi is dead too, but i have no way of fixing it at all, i've got a thread called "wifi is dead" in the q+a section of the sensation forum.
Let me know if you get yours working, i imagine that if you revert your phone back to stock again and then use the alpha rev method that you will have better luck.

1. You can Relock your bootloader using HTC site but this time u will see Relocked instead of Locked
2. No idea
3. Did you try resetting your router? Works for me. Also try flashing a different radio.
4. No idea
5. You can relock bootloader on HTC site but have no idea of you can unlock it with Revolutionary again.

Try write secureflag command, just search for.the correct one on xda. Also, try flashing your RUU and then s-offing via revo.

Noob Question About S-On, S-Off, and HTC's unlock

I used HTC's official unlock and my phone is unlocked, but has S-On. Is there a benefit to S-Off now that mine is unlocked? What is the difference between how the unlocks are? Sorry if i'm not making much sense, I'm new to this place and Android in general... I just got my sensation last week.

Welcome to Sensation
Don't worry, everyone's a noob at some point, I'm pretty much still a noob myself but as far as I understand it:
To this point you have unlocked your bootloader which simply allows the phone to boot with third-party software installed. In your phone there is a form of security check and the level of security is determined by whether you are S-ON or S-OFF. It's a flag at the radio level of your phone that checks images before they are allowed to be written to the system memory. So when you gain S-OFF, you gain unrestricted access to the NAND flash memory on your device, also known as root. With S-ON you can get temporary root but it's not guaranteed, with S-OFF you can get permanent root no matter what you flash.
Essentially gaining S-OFF permits superuser access to the phone, giving you control over all aspects of software and hardware.
If you like your phone the way it comes to you, all filled up with bloatware and stuck using only the latest version of Android that your carrier releases OTA, with a boring/crappy splash screen and boot animation (and so on and so forth ) then you have no real reason to get S-OFF.
If however you have seen some of the shiny ROMs put together by the devs here at XDA, or have a sweet custom splash screen you'd love to see every time you boot up the phone, or just like the idea of having complete control over YOUR phone and flashing what-the-hell-ever ROM/firmware/radio/other stuff you damn well please, then you should definitely consider rooting.
The disclaimer to all this is that if you aren't careful and don't thoroughly research what you're doing BEFORE you do it, you could brick your phone and give yourself some serious grief. The fact you're even asking this now is a point in your favour, there are far too many 'help me' posts on here from people who did something without bothering to try and understand it first. Knowledge is power and there's buckets of knowledge on this forum and others.
I'd suggest reading here and here at the very least.
Hope that helps

s-off means you may do anything with your phone,
you will lose warrenty at s-off gain it at s-on
as the other guy said if u want a nice toutch to your rom s-off it and install, if u want it still legal dont

Thanks for the info. I've been considering using an ICS OTA file on my HTC Sensation 4G, but the guides i've seen only mention S-OFF and nothing about the unlocked S-ON. I just can't wait for the official release!
On the other hand though, I also want to remove bloatware from this phone and found a script for such... but i can't seem to get any temp root method working. I'm not ready to jump off the deep end yet, but i'm tired of the unnecessary stuff.

I also couldn't wait for the official ICS release so I s-off, rooted, super CID, and flashed an ICS firmware and went to android revolution. Honestly, it's one of the best decisions Ive ever made. If you think your stock phone is running good right now, you'll be amazed when you flash it, it will run absolutely faster I tell you.
Though there are alot of risks doing all of that, it might brick your phone completely. So be very careful, read and understand everything if you're going to do all of those stuff.

HTC sensation stuck at boot
Hey Guys Noob here,
I need help big time. I gone and mess with something I shouldn't have. I'm a first time android/touch screen user so bear with me.
I was trying to S-off my phone (alrady rooted- after several tries) but I downloaded the juopunutbear zip file on my phone. I mistakenly loaded it via the CWM recovery and now the screen is stuck on that juopunutbear image.
I have tried to flash my rom because I thought it was just a boot loop, but nothing happened. I NEED some advice please don't tell me I bricked it. :crying:

if you can boot into bootloader then you are not bricked
secondly what do you mean by juopunutbear.zip and from where?
edit:you said that you are already rooted
which means that you have unlocked bootloader from htcdev site am i right?

Yes it was already unlock from HTC dev, but I was trying to get S- off using the wire trick method. In reading the Jounutbear guide thread it directed u to a link which has the zip file which I should have run on my pc but I had mistakenly installed it from my sd card and now it isn't going furthuer than that screen. I now can't using the Jbear exe bcuz it not recogining it.
I don't really want to keep adding my nonsense to the thread how can I PM someone for help.

do this
install 4ext recovery
enable smartflash from it
flash the rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861

I did all that but the phone keeps booting up with the Juoputnutbear image that point to the phone. It looks similar to when I was just rooting the phone but it just no picking up nothing but that.

that's weird
did you perform a full wipe(from recovery) before flashing the rom?
also as long as you are on S-ON use 4ext recovery to flash the rom
and before flashing the rom enable smartflash from 4ext
if you have done all the above then use a ruu.exe to return to stock condition
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1672425

Well that thread seems to be a mouth full remember I'm a noob. But I will try and read that again to get what it really says. It seems though that it was a complex instruction how to get back to the stock rom? Isn't there a file for that I can download. I get to doing that RUU thing to see if it works tho

before flashing the rom enable smartflash from 4ext

Hey guys good news
I finally got the phone to power on. I saw this thread that highlead my pro http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2284273 but I was really got the details from another forum. I don't know if I'm allowed to post it so I won't, but I'll sum it up.
All I need to do was flash the boot image on my current rom (get this from the zip file) and also flash the recovery image from a backup I had and presto.
But I'll go and follow you guys instruction about enabling the 4ext smart flash from now on. What I want to know though is for some custom roms (eg cyanogenmod 10.1) do I needs to be S-off to install it?
If so I'm still gonna try and S-off this here thingy. Givethanks y'all

no you are fine now
there is no problem with juopunutbear because now you have patched hboot which is unlocked
you are fine also with cwm recovery
but if you still want 4ext do only step 2 from here

Then i Flashed Clockwork Recovery Img 5.0.2.7 = cool that worked for me (familiar with it cause i had it on my evo 4g)
cwm loads up and my phone booted up normally
then i flashed over a su.zip and i had ROOT i fogot wat one it was exactly but watever
I even installed titanium to do a test run to see if the actual root request was accepted and it worked as well
I tried to flash some roms from

needless to say after that ive been stuck on the mytouch splash screen for the past 3 days ive been picking at it researching but IDK wat the hell im doing wrong

You are s on, so you need to flash the kernel with fastboot when you flash a rom, fastboot flash boot boot.img
Extract from rom of choice
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium

if your s-on have you ever gone to bootloader mode then place your phone into fastboot mode (highlight bootloader then press power button)
on your computer install the htc mytouch 4g slide fastboot drivers than
go to start run or on win 7 just search for cmd
then google out downloading an ADB folder and place it on your c: drive
then on cmd type cd\adb then it should look like this C:\adb>
then on whatever rom your getting extract it to a seprate folder then grab the boot.img file
then place it somewhere like your desktop then your gonna type on cmd
C:\abd>fastboot flash "C:\user\"name of user you have the file in"\desktop\boot.img"
then place the rom you got the boot.img from THE ROM UNEXTRACTED to your sd card then just reboot to recovery then flash the only rom and you should be good

Thank you to both crimedave1987 and demkantor for this explanation!! I was having the same problem as the OP. This was the first time I ever tried rooting and flashing my phone, and trying to figure out what my limitations are with the 1.45.0013 HBOOT has been a bit confusing.
But thanks to you guys, I'm finally up and running a ROM instead of just staring at the stock splash screen!

mytouch 4g slide rom flash / install easy step by step
LMAO OMG Thank you guys!! i missed that simple step had all the tools and i am very appreciative for the help guys
So FYI , the final stages after
HTC Dev unlocks boot loader
install cwm 5.0.2.7
extract your boot.img from your rom zip eg. cm9
goto fastboot mode in your hboot menu
then flash the boot.img with fastboot "fastboot flash boot boot.img" easy command if you place the boot.img in the same folder as your fastboot.exe
choose reboot into recovery from hboot after boot.img is flashed
push your rom with adb if you do not have a sdcard reader on your pc or lap or simply copy it over with your sdcard reader
if you get any error about device not found u must mount your sd card in your cwm options before this command will work
"adb push cm9.zip /sdcard"
then choose install zip with cwm
you should already know how to do the last step
thanks to all that has helped me im sooo excite i can now try out different roms now that i got the step
please follow the above it is how i achieved my custom rom installed HAVE A GREAT DAY ALL!!!! XDA ROCKS!

(cm9,cm7,bulletproof)rom.zip -----> sd-card
(whatever rom your flashing)extract grab boot.img and place it on your desktop
DL adb folder place it on C: drive
go to cmd.exe
(ON CMD)
example:
C:\Users\CricketUser>
then type cd\adb
then should look like this
C:\adb>
(I HOPE YOUR HBOOT UNLOCKED)
then power your phone down completely and press (vol -) and (power) and should take you to hboot
press power to select and up and down vols to scroll highlight to fastboot and press the power
(OH AND MAKE SURE YOU HAVE HTC ADB DRIVERS INSTALLED) then on cmd type this...
C:\adb>fastboot flashboot C:\Users\CricketUser\Desktop\boot.img (DRAG BOOT.IMG FROM DESKTOP AFTER TYPING FASTBOOT FLASHBOOT) hit enter then type
C:\adb>fastboot reboot recovery (I HOPE YOU HAVE CWM RECOVERY FLASHED)
then unplug your phone on cwm go to install rom from sd card and the one and only rom you got on your sd card install it then when done reboot your phone and your good to go i hope thats enough detail

Ty for the advice as I have already flashed my ROM I was asking generally wat is the best rom for the mt4gs and when and where can I read when jelly bam 6 will work for my phone BTW right now I am running jellybam 4.0 and I love it

thank you for your help i am going to next option you suggested
Moving forward... going to reinstall a go later on today I'm off today yay!, and I will repost the results after. Side note: going to also make a list of all my apps so I can full wipe as I have read a dirty install could be possible reason for no GPS n no network service , and not to mention to also let the phone sit for 5 minutes to stabilize but, when is that supposed to happen?? after the ROM install in cwm or after the boot.img flash in adb? Thanks for the help once again ... n from the OP mentioned it doesn't take all the time , is that referring to the boot.img not taking or is it the ROM not taking I just curious as how these things work thanks crimedave !

ohh my goodness! this is a job for Crimedave to the rescue plz help just redid my whole phone completly wiped and formatted everything did 3 complete wipes n waited the 5 minutes through serverall of the steps of flashing just to be sure i wasnt rushing the process, and still im without gps and service bars idk wat the heck to do maybe just go for another rom? but im sure this rom is supposed to work "Jellybam" i will try cyanogen mod 9 later on tonight when i get back home unless you could do some digging ive exhausted all my resources for troubleshooting this issue any advice would be appreciative TYSVM for your time and all you have help this far -Adam

So did you wipe everything, flash ROM via recovery, then flash kernel via fastboot?
If these weren't you're steps then go back and do it again, if they were just flash a gingerbread ROM for now and make sure all is working there

Please Read This.
....and no matter how it may sound in the instructions, always....ALWAYS....flash your boot.img LAST.
BTW....the 5 minutes rest they have been talking about is 5 minutes after your ROM boots up. Just let it lay there then pick it up and you're OFF............

okay here we go again btw thank you demkantor and thank you weekendsr2short for the advice but still no dice at all, so i been searching google and xda forum for a stock rom but there are so many post out there idk which one works i have tried two versions of the stock rom from stock shipped roms and they came back wrong image file

trying to figure out wat i need and how to persay get back to stock im totally lost on that blues thread
so anyhow you have all my info except im not on a rom anymore atm going back to some sorta rom to atleast boot into someting
so i can use my phone
never thought i would have to go back to stock to check my phones service to see if it works or not
i tried cyanogenmod9 booted up fine and everything gapps worked but no gps still wondering if i have to do junoputebear wire trick to get my gps on and from wat ive read and see on youtube about gps fixes how they use the terminal to rewrite dev blocks wonder if i should try that route but just a little something i notice when im doing a data factory wipe i get msg in the formatting progress that says mak_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 maybe thats whats wrong wit my pos phone
if you have any more ideas please let me know all im trying to achieve is getting my gps and service back on with new rom software (stock or custom) IDC i was just trying to fix random reboot every now and then resets , if i gotta use my phone under wifi i have to but if everything else works there HAS TO BE A FIX SOMEHOW! uuuuuhhhg im so dissapointed in myself cause im usually good at figuring this stuff out till tomarrow hope i get some new ideas thanks xda

There is a glimmer of hope I have my GPS after tested in copilot app and another GPS app as well but still no service bars at all
The way I understand it is radio should have been protected with my s-on cause I'm not s-off so how could have I lost it idk of I find a solution I will post till then any suggestions would be appreciated ty

It's been a while but as I remember it, you can't flash those images with an Unlocked phone. If your radio got messed up somehow you need to relock your bootloader before you reflash the original or higher image than your phone came with.
If you'll go to ADB and issue the cmd, "adb oem lock", that will set you ready to reflash the .img file. If the image file is in your SD card root, just "adb reboot bootloader" ...and you're off. You'll have to unlock again but you'll have a fresh new phone to start over on.

[Q] HTC sensation Orange UK S-off and Root

Hi XDA
I have posted a new thread after reading various guides and threads to S-off the sensation.
My problem is that i dont understand some parts in some guides so i cant use that guide.
1 st problem
Unlock bootloader : I have a Htc sensation Orange UK but it isnt listed on the HTC dev website so what do i do ?
2nd problem : I would prefer not to unlock my bootloader via HTC dev because i dont want to void my warranty.
3rd problem : I am running windows 7 32 bit and control bear support has been stopped for it .
4th problem : I dont have any wires to use for control bear so i want to use a paper clip but i dont know if this is correct so can someone verify please ? : (Image attached to this post)
5th problem : I dont know if the method i am understanding for S - off is correct
What i think i need to do ,
Htc dev :
Unlock using htc dev
root using temp toot .bat
run control bear
do wire trick
install h boot
Install recovery
Ganeshp ver
Run temp root
run control bear
do wire trick
install H boot.
Install recovery
6th problem :
I believe you can flash roms with only unlocked bootloader but there is only 1 guide for it and its not very clear.
7th problem : Im afraid about bricking my device
Thanks for helping guys !

Hi, all the questions you have can pretty much be answered with this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26280760
S-off by ganesh's guide does not require an unlocked bootloader.
Concerning the wire trick... I used one piece of paperclip so I can verify that it works (I never insulated the paperclip with anything either, so it was just a naked paperclip)
By the way, you never mentioned your bootloader details, but if you have 1.2x bootloader you can use the guide that ganesh wrote about, but if you have an hboot that is a lower version, then you have to use revolutionary's s-off guide.
You can flash ROMs and a custom recovery both s-on and s-off, but if you don't want to unlock your bootloader like you said, then I would try to s-off your device.
Since you are running windows, you probably need the windows version of controlbear.exe. pm me and ask about it, otherwise, ask someone else who has the file.
Good luck! And I hope I answered the questions
I wouldn't worry that much about bricking your device. Just flash the right ROMs and you'll be fine. If you follow all the instructions step by step, then there's nothing that can go wrong.
After you finish tinkering with your phone, I would flash albino's ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37121632
It's silky smooth, has basically no major bugs, and I think the battery is better compared to other ROMs.
Sent from my HTC Sensation

Be careful and do more research on unlocking the bootloader via HTC Dev.
It is not the complete unlocking sollution that HTC leads you to believe it is. It unlocks the bootloader in a very limited fashion, and prevents some full s-off methods from working at all without starting completely over and flashing an RUU (which wipes everything and restores the phone to the way it left the factory)
Meanwhile if you run into warrenty issues later, having used the HTC Dev website tells HTC that you messed with the phone and they could actually deny warrenty service based on that. But if you use other means to unlcoked the bootloader HTC wouldn't know anything about it, so if you flashed an RUU later to return it to bone stock it would be an S-On phone with a locked bootloader again. Warrenty shouldn't be affected.
Also keep in mind that you've got a 2 year old device. The warrenty probably isn't going to last much longer on it anway.

1. I am on 3 mobile and my phone is also not listed on HTCDev. But I chose Sensation (EU) which worked fine. I believe its for all devices issued in Europe.
2. HTCDev voids the warranty as well as wipes off the data. But if you are gonna flash custom ROM or overclock then I guess you would eventually say good bye to your warranty anyway!
3. Burn a live CD for Ubuntu 12.04 and use it for Controlbear wire trick method. You dont need to install Ubuntu if you dont want to. There are guides here which give you controlbear tool for windows but word of advice... use the live CD and follow unlimited.io website only. They have made their tool safer over the time. Trust me its worth every hassle.
4. I am sure you would have a spare network ethernet cable lying somewhere at your place, use that one. Otherwise, people have reported the paper clip to be working but make sure you insulate it properly.
5. Here are the overall steps for everything.
- Unlock bootloader via HTCDev
- Use controlbear tool and wire trick to gain S-OFF (the tool downloaded from unlimited.io for Ubuntu will install custom hboot itself)
- Install custom recovery
- Obtain Root by flashing the zip package via this custom recovery
- Flash custom ROM for ICS (Try Androidrevolution HD... its good)
- You can download apps from the market to overclock your cpu.
(Ofcourse you can install custom ROM without being S-OFF.. use Asskicker's guide, its comprehensive and easy to understand)
6. Read through Ganesh's guide properly and you may be able to flash custom ROM without unlocking bootloader.
7. Everyone should be afraid of bricking their device, I was too. But if you do everything as it has been mentioned in the guide, then you should be confident that everything will be fine.
A few days ago I S-OFFed my device and was scared to my bones that I would brick my device but once I did it, I am feeling so good about it now. The guys here have helped me so much.
I presume you are on 1.2x hboot version.

Ok so i tried it , What i did :
I plugged in my phone and then i clicked root.bat
after temp root i clicked on control bear and it backed up my device etc
Then it told me to do wire trick so i tried my best and the phone went off
I then **** it and looked for flowolfs video on youtube , (the phone plugged in and control bear still running)
Control bear was telling me to check adb drivers and that it was waiting for my device .
I looked at flowolfs video and i unplugged my phone and then i plugged battery back in .
The phone works fine but i had to format sd card.
I went into bootloader but unfortunalty it shows s-on.

flash 3.33 universal from firmware's thread in development section
it will give you also patched hboot which is unlocked
follow the instructions carefully
and before flashing check md5 sums(important)
don't do htcdev unlock.it is unecessary

How?

Slow down a second, buddy. You're 1 step ahead of yourself. Though I respect your excitment fro this process!
You don't flash firmware in recovery. You flash firmware in bootloader.
Read this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767&highlight=firmware
In it you will find the how to flash firmware (it's REALLY easy. Just make sure to follow the directions.) And you will be able to download the firmware files.
Short version is that you download the firmware file which will be caleld PM58IMG.zip, put it on your SD Card, and reboot into bootloader. Bootlaoder will install the new firmware for you. Don't watch it. Just walk away for 5 minutes, or you are liable to freak out when the screen goes blank during the process. More than one person has gotten scared when that happened and pulled the battey to stop it...which WILL brick the phone. So let it do it's thing in peace. It takes 2 mintues.
When it reboots you will have a shiny new firmware with a fancy updated bootloader as well.
And someone else please answer this...do Kohr-Ah's firmware packages have 4EXT recovery already included? Or perhaps CWM? So that they flash with the firmware? It's been too long sinc eI used one I can't remember.

@Skipjacks
I don't think kohr-ah's firmwares have a recovery installed. Just the radio, adsp.IMG, hboot patch and other stuff that I don't know about. I don't see a recovery.IMG in the zip file. Unless the recovery is rcdata.IMG...

No I don't think that's it either. It must have been the firmwares for my old MyTouch 4G that had recovery included. Like I said, it's been a while.
Just see the 4EXT recovery thread AndroidSupporter posted earlier. It has the recovery download links.

Ok that thread says things such a cid do what is that ? , it also says check md5 what is that ?

The CID is how HTC locks down the phone so it can only get the updates that they want your phone to get. Each region and carrier has different CIDs, so you can't use a Europe firmware or official ROM on an America phone. Each firmware file contains a list of the CIDs it will install on. If your CID isn't on the list it won't install. But there is a super CID as well that is like a master key. With the superCID on your phone all firmware packages will install.
Read this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
See Step 4 to get Super CID. It's insanely simple as long as you have ADB installed.
Also the 3.33 firmware package may already include your CID. If it does you don't need to get Super CID. But it's easy, so why not?
An MD5 is a code that is generated that shows if 2 files match. If they match, the codes will be the same. If they don't, the files are different. With Firmware, ANY variation in the file can brick your phone. So you ALWAYS want to check to make sure the MD5 of the firmware file you downlaoded matches what it's supposed to be. That's why Kohr-Ah has the MD5 written under each download link.

First link at the top. It's the only 3.33 firmware there for download. (The one at the bottom is just the same file from a different download location)
Here is the same thing cut and pasted from that post. This is what you want.
Firmware 3.33 Universal:
DOWNLOAD:http://d-h.st/SuC
MD5: 07cc2a2ea4473e8fe8d6fe844c4020a1
Just put it on the root directory of the SD Card (don't put it in a folder) and boot into recovery. See if that works. If it doesn't then you have to Super CID. If it works, great. You're done. Flash recovery next.

Just uninstall whichever root app is present on the ROM (Superuser or SuperSU), voila, you're 100% stock.

thankx
thanks for your help but I guess I won't be able to installed ota anymore? though I don't think there be any coming to the phone anymore

Why do you think that? If the phone has an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery (which you'd need to flash a nand) you shouldn't take an OTA anyway. If you want to go completely back to stock you need to get s-off so you can run the last Telstra RUU (1.89 I think), lock your bootloader, and take every OTA to get back up to date.

Am grateful bro.

my mobile data wont work
Hi,
so after weeks and days of suffering and trying to install any rom on my HTC One XL only telestra works, even CM wont boot I get into boot looping...
So after I installed telestra my mobile data wont work, I tried on my own find out what is the problem, even I tried to downgrade my phone to froyo so I can install RUU and I couldn't downgrade because adb wont push file to my device one file go through and the other won't... It's says permission denied.
I am here asking for you help please I am so desperate, I am trying to do this all by own so I don't need to pay 20 euros to some services.
I am looking for how to fix this mobile data problem and why I am getting permission denied in adb push file, I was following this tread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1600904

Hang on...
Firstly, you tried to downgrade the phone to Froyo? This device has never had Froyo on it, the earliest version of Android that it came with was Ice Cream Sandwich. So what on earth did you try to flash to your device??
Secondly, the other thread that you link to isn't for this phone, it's for the HTC Droid Incredible.
Mate, it seems as if you've been attempting to flash firmwares and exploits from other devices onto this phone, it's a wonder you haven't bricked the thing! ROMs, kernels, radios, firmwares, exploits, etc, are only compatible for the device that they were developed for, they're not interchangeable. This is our device section:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-x-att
Do not, under any circumstances, wander outside of that section and its sub-forums for anything or it's only a matter of time before you have an expensive paperweight.
Now, what recovery do you have on the phone?
PS. You should edit that image asap, it shows your IMEI, that's something you should never post publicly.

Ty for help and your time first.
I edited photo in paint but you need to edit your post too because picture is still there.
My phone is HTC One XL, xda wont accept this when I enter my device.
Well it's a wonder I didn't throw my phone into the wall.
So everything was fine on this phone until battery started to dry out fast, it's started to lag and everything was slow, clean master, battery doctor didn't help, factory reset few times didn't help.
Then I tried to install CM with this instructions ( I can't link it but when you enter in Google how to install CM on HTC One XL it will pop out wiki ) but my phone wouldn't boot any CM for my phone known as "evita", it would stuck at boot looping.
I have access to recovery. bootloader, fastboot and everything so still it isn't a brick.
I have this recovery img TWRP 2.7.0.8. but if needed I can change it into ClockworkMod 6.0.4.8.
I don't have many experiences in rooting android but I learned some basic commands in cmd with fastboot and adb.

I've edited the image out of my post. Your phone probably boot looped after installing CM because you didn't flash the boot.img via fastboot afterwards, am I right? Because you're s-on and have firmware equal to or higher than 1.14 your phone can't flash the boot.img during a ROM flash in recovery, this means you need to do it manually with fastboot after flashing the ROM. I have detailed instructions in my guide thread (link in my signature).
You need to run an RUU which will take the device back to stock and hopefully clear up the issues you've been facing. In order to run an RUU you first need to get s-off (and SuperCID if you don't already have it). In order to get s-off you need to first flash the Kickdroid 5.0 ROM (Rumrunner s-off has the highest success rate on this ROM).
1. Flash Kickdroid (don't forget to flag the boot.img afterwards too).
2. Go to the Rumrunner site and get s-off.
3. Check your CID:
Code:
fastboot oem readcid
3b. If it's anything other than 11111111 you need to change it:
Code:
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
4. You can now run whatever Evita RUU you want, and leave the device stock for a couple of days to see if your problems persist. What variant is the phone? At&t? Rogers? Telstra? Hong Kong?

I did everything what it's says on rumrunner s-off page before I tried to install CM
well I would link to you what steps I was following but I am junior member so I can't, as I said write in google how to install cm on htc one xl and you will get wiki page and there will be steps which I followed.
How could I install then telestra if I didn't was s-off?
I am very tired now but I will answer to you some basic question you asked.
I am on vodafone variant or in my country (Croatia) it's vip, so when I get some sleep I need to install Kickdroid (well in the morning I guess I would figure out what flag the boot.img mean), and after Kickdroid I can install any RUU I want but need one for vodafone am I right? something like this? RUU_EVITA_UL_ICS_40_S_Vodafone_CH-DE_2.41.166.1_Radio_0.20os.32.09.10_2_10.113.32.28L_release_280222_signed
I found that on this page AndroidRUU, and when I bought my phone it was on German lang.
And if I manage to install Kickdroid and then RUU I will try to give a chance and see if it work normally but if not I can install again Kickdroid and have that rom? And I can install some kernel but for now I don't know what kernel is and I don't understand do I need to install kernel or not? Oh man ty for your time and explanation I need to take some time and to figure all of this and to install properly .

Forget about whatever you did or didn't do in the past, it didn't work and there's no point wondering why right now because I've laid out a plan for you to move forward. Install Kickdroid, get s-off with Rumrunner, and run an RUU. You don't necessarily have to run a Vodafone RUU, you can run any Evita RUU, but yes the one you mentioned is compatible. You absolutely must get s-off before running any RUU though or you will brick the phone. Follow the steps I mentioned before exactly and you should be ok.
Just realised I missed some of your questions. If you want use Kickdroid as your ROM you definitely can, it's a very good ROM. It's a bit hard to describe what a kernel is briefly, but put simply it's a separate level of firmware that controls how the software or OS (and you) interacts with with hardware. You don't need to flash a kernel, every ROM zip contains a kernel already, otherwise the phone wouldn't operate, it wouldn't even boot up. There are custom kernels available that allow a bit of extra tweaking, like overclocking (or underclocking) the CPU, undervolting, sound tweaks, and various other much more complicated tweaks.

Language
Hello how to add the Russian language in the system??? Maybe they cut. If there is a rom with a full range of languages and the last update, I need a rom without mods!
