I finally understood how to root my Inspire to take it over to my pre-paid T-Mobile, but, now, I can't get to the internet via WiFi. I've tried my wifi, as well as other connections around me, with no luck. The only way I can get internet on my phone is if I use the passthrough option. I'm running the stock 2.2 OS with no ROMs. Have I done something wrong...?
Additional Info:
Forgot to mention that I used the ace-hack, Version 11A. Also, I can scan for wifi networks, and I can connect. I have a good signal, and I can login to my router and see the phone listed. The "Mobile network" setting has been disabled since I won't be using data with T-Mobile. I've turned on Airplane Mode and tried to get to the internet that way, and the same thing still happens; I can see the networks, and I can connect, but, I have no data coming in or going out.
Any luck? I just ran through the same version of ace hack 11 and I'm experiencing the same problem. I can connect to any wi-fi with an excellent signal, but can't connect to the internet.

No ): I ran through AceHack11A again for giggles, and, I still have the issue. I'm thinkin' I may have to install the stock AT&T radio, but, from what I understand of it, the radio has nothing to do with wifi.
I'll save you the trouble of installing the stock radio, already tried it. I was able to get things working though... here's basically my chronology of things:
- Did step one of the reverse CID, god the goldcard.img emailed to me, no problems
- Did step 2, downgraded. After the downgrade, I could still use wi-fi at this point without issue.
- Step 3... this is where the wifi internet issue was introduced.
- Connected to the internet with via my PC with USB cable.
- Ran the one of the programs that was installed in step 3: Rom Manager (while connected to the internet). It made me download and install Flash ClockworkMod (all done through the rom manager gui).
- I bought the full version of Rom Manager. I removed the free version that was installed, re-installed the updated free version, then bought the premium rom manager.
- Within ROM manager, clicked on Download ROM and downloaded the CyanogenMod rom (I went with the regular CyanogenMod, not the nightlies version). Installed it, and everything works great.
You can probably tell I'm a total newb to android, hence the annoyingly detailed description of what I did. Give it a go, maybe it will work for you?
same problem here, after root
update:
Ok, I fixed installing a stock ROM from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1058042
Probably the problem has to be something with Rom Manager (is not present in the stock rom), I didn't check it anyway.
I have the same problem several days ago. I flashed the Revolution ROM, and it was resolved.

Hi, this is my first post on here. I searched the forums for this problem I just encountered that happened right after I plugged in my phone at work to get internet thru my PC using the data cable. At lunch time I went home and turned WiFi on and now it just keeps scanning and will not connect to my Wifi! It sees my WiFi which was working just fine since the day I brought it home. All this started because I wanted to try out using the data cable to get internet on my phone since my work doesn't have WiFi. I believe it has something to do with connecting thru the data cable pass-through connection. I am on stock ROM. I rooted the phone before but went back to stock ROM because it just seemed like too much maintenance for me at this time.
Does anyone know how I can fix this? Am I going to have to flash back to original ROM to fix this?
I searched some more on there and only found this other topic but since I'm not at home at I cannot confirm if changing it to charge only and restarting will fix the WiFi problem that I am having! I'll try this out later.

For anyone else having issues, please use this method.
NOTE: You DO NOT have to buy the full version of ROM Manager in order to fix the issue. The free version will work just fine.

What ROM are you running?
Hi, I have vodafone 858 which I rooted with z4root installed cwm and flashed a custom rom. I have flashed a couple more different roms since then but now I seem to have an issue with the wifi on it, as I can find networks but the phone refuses to connect to them even right next to the router. I tried flashing different roms and re installing recovery via rom manager but the problem stays the same!!! wifi only works if I restore back to the gingerbread G360 rom I had on it. please help!! thanks!!
Hi everyone. I've had my Desire S for over a year and I'm very happy with it except for one thing, the GPS doesn't work at all.
I'll be lucky to get 2 satellites after 2 minutes, and getting a lock at all is very rare.
I've tried the AGPS patch here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1442032) and it hasn't helped, assuming I've done it correctly. It requires root which I hadn't done previously. I unlocked the bootloader with HTCDev, then used the superonclick to get root. I'm still S-ON though, does that matter? The Root Checker app says that I'm successfully rooted. I copied the two files across using ES File Explorer.
Is it possible that my GPS hardware is just faulty?
I'm more inclined to believe it's a software issue, because before I got Android 2.3.5 the GPS was fine, and it stopped working as soon as I got that update... would that be possible?
All advice greatly appreciated!
Edit: Also tried this 'tape over the connector' trick: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25128818&postcount=15
and the gps.conf for my country from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=953630
No improvement
same here... most people said that it might be an broken gps antenna
I'm hoping for some friendly advice - I have a Desire S which was rooted last year and I installed CM10 to try out JB. All has been working well )part from the occasional reboot) however couple of days ago the battery started draining quickly, the phone became very hot and the wifi stopped working. After various wiping of caches and rebooting I decided to try some other ROMs (Fallout Evolution V5, Miui, IceDS) and although they all installed OK I still have no wifi and now the mobile network won't work.
It worked on Fallout at first but when the wifi wasn't working I wiped and re-installed and it hasn't worked since. It does see the O2 network although the phone hd previously been unlocked to work with Vodafone, so I think I may have rolled back the radio somehow.
At this stage I'm not entirely sure if it is a software or hardware problem, and I din't know how to test the hardware.
The phone is currently as follows:
UNLOCKED
Saga PVT ship s-on RL
HBOOT -2.02.0002
Radio -3831.19.00.110
eMMC -BOOT
July 31 2012>15.41.32
Do I need to update the radio? If so, which version should I use? And do I need to s-off the phone first?
Any other help would be appreciated.

Did You tried installing stock rom again in your mobile
No I haven't. I assume this would re-install the correct radio?
Not sure where to get the stock ROM, or which one was shipped with the phone.
If I did get it can I flash it through recovery - I'm using 4EXT?

Boot into bootloader and run following command
fastboot get cid
Than you can know which ruu to flash. But don't forget to downgrade your misc version before fishing ruu
No ruu are flashed from PC

OK, I have managed to get the phone back to it's stock ROM which is O2 in the UK.
I had previously unlocked the phone but it now won't accept anything other than an O2 SIM. When I scan for networks only O2 is seen. I still have the unlock code but when I put a Vodafone SIM in it doesn't prompt me for the unlock code. I'm just getting a Limited Service display.
Is there any way of forcing the unlock code prompt screen - say with keyboard numbers or via Fastboot?

do i understand things as they are?
do you intend to use simcards of another operator?,
well... that`s what branding stands for,
to make sure
you`ll not use any sim from different carrier...
is your phone simlocked as well,
or is it only a branded rom ?
..but why bothering to flash the phone with branded RUU,
(when there are quite a few generic ones, still floating around,..)
except, when one wants to claim a warranty..may be...
I flashed the O2 ROM as it was what was on the phone when I bought it and I was trying to get back to a radio that would work.
I have since managed to get the phone working OK with the Asda/Vodafone SIM but I am still having problems with the wifi (this is where it all started!). whenever I switch the wifi on it scans and then reports that it is unable to scan for networks, after 2-3 attempts the wifi switches itself off.
I'm still trying to find out if it is a software or hardware problem. Other than that all is working well on the Fallout v5 ROm I have flashed - although it does make the phone run hot.

I changed the ROM to IceDS v8 which seems to run cooler. I think part of the problem was with Titanium Backup running and the wifi kept searching for a network.
I am still having the wifi problem as it displays 'unable to scan for networks'. Having searched the internet extensively and tried a few different so called fixes I have come to the conclusion it is a hardware problem. When I get time I'll see if I can strip the phone and see if I can find the cause.

Well I stripped the phone and checked what connections I could but still no wifi.
I have used the RUU to get back to stock ROM and everything is fine except the wifi not working. Does anyone know if the wifi hardware is on the PCB, and if so where it would be in the phone. As the phone is in excellent condition I am thinking of getting a cheap phone with broken screen and just cannibalising it with my phone and building one good phone. It's just knowing what part of the phone contains the wifi hardware.
Any help would be appreciated.
Hi all , I had my sensation for a long time , and suddenly i decided to unlock bootloader s-off it and do a custom rom
at first i unlocked the bootloader via htc.com method
then I kept my device s-on and flashed 4ext
i flashed revolution rom and everything was fine until one day the apps like facebook and whatsapp didnt have an internet connection through wifi
only 3G connection , although i was connected to wifi but no response
i tried to reflash the rom but then the wifi didnt work at all , kept going on again off again
i thought i should make s-off
i used jupotntbar method ( wire trick ) and s-offed my device
i tried the rom again nothing happened , all was wrong
then all of a sudden my USB didnt read at all , anytime i plug it in it is on charge only mode and doesnt appear to connect to the pc , i tried different PCs but no luck
i tried changing radio and ril , i changed the recovery , until i installed CWM recovery ( using rom manager via 3G ) and the wifi was on again and sometimes it fails but it works .... still no USB
if anyone can help me i would donate and thank him a lot

What happened seems quite weird, but sometimes happen. Did you try another ROM? Sometimes problems start without any apparent reason. When it happens you can either wipe your phone and start your system anew, or you can flash another ROM (again with full wipe).
As a personal preference I prefer 4EXT recovery, but if you say clockworkmod works best for you, keep it. I don't have enough understanding to know the impact of the recovery on regular usage (I know it has impact on when the phone is off).
Try another ROM, that would be my first advice. Or maybe even RUU (Since you got S-Off now, I suggest you get yourself SuperCID. There is a guide in the general forum).
Here is a list of ROMs that worked flawlessly for me (or at least without any apparent bugs):
albinoman's CM10.1 (no HTC sense, awesome ROM if you can live with AOSP)
ViperS 1.6.3 (works great)
ViperS 3.1.2 (apparently works fine, but since this ROM is fully ported (awesome work of SebastianFM) there might be the occasional glitch)
AndroidRevolutionHD - I used a (much) older version and had some issues with wifi (fixed with a newer version), but a good ROM.
And most other ROMs work fine as well, just didn't get to try them myself.
If nothing helps, after you get SuperCID, yuo can try using an RUU to restore your phone to stock. It will also flash the firmware and radio partitions, which might also fix stuff. After you get SuperCID you can use any RUU you'd like.
Good luck.

Hmmm.... That complicates things. It's allways a possiblity that this is a hardware problem, but let's try something else. If changing ROM doesn't work, maybe flashing firmware will help. Get a PG58IMG.zip file of either 3.32 or 3.33 firmware from this thread, and flash with the instructions of the thread.
Very Important! Check the md5sum of the firmware you download, as it can permanently brick your phone if it's not flashed correctly.
Good luck. If that doesn't work, I doubt if anyhing will. If you do manage to get USB connection, I suggest RUUing anyway, to get a clean install for your device.

Then I'm afraid I'm out of suggestions. Just to be sure. Did you try another cable? What did the computer recognize (in device manager, it should show something for the device as a USB device)?
This might lead us to a new direction.

On what ROM you're currently on? Did you perform S-Off method after returning to Stock? For S-Off the prerequisite is Rooted stock ROM.
I faced this issue when I was on MIUI ROM and my PC didn't detected my device. I suggest you should flash the ViperS JB after a Superwipe. It have MTP support and it let the PC and Phone access SD card at the same time. I am sure it will detect your device after flashing ViperS JB. Also try uninstalling the HTC drivers from your PC and install the latest HTC drivers. I am not on PC otherwise I would have shared the link for latest drivers. Also try connecting your phone with original HTC Cable and USB port 2.0.
