Upgrading from MIUI-v4-Saga-2.5.4-RD - stuck in bootloop - HTC Desire S

I've been trying to install either MIUI 2.8.3 or 2.8.10 as I'm currently running MIUI-v4-Saga-2.5.4-RD_Edition but the phone keeps getting stuck in a bootloop. I'm doing a factory reset, cache and dalvik wipe then installing from Revolutionary 4.0.4.
The phone is currently:
SAGA PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT: 6.98.1002
RADIO: 38.03.02.11_m
eMMC: BOOT
I've searched the Q&A's and Development for a solution but can't find anything other than maybe changing the HBOOT version or updating the Kernel, but nothing specific to my issue. Any got any ideas?

Yup, changing the hboot to 7... or 2.00.2... will probably do the trick

Will this cause an issue going back to earlier versions of MIUI such as 2.4.20 (last Gingerbread)? Will it also have any effect on any Nandroids I've got stored and might want to reinstall?

Nope and nope
Although, installing one of those hboots will add a new partition.
This partition is what makes a non-modded ICS work, but it also means a waste of space if you're running GB.
Edit: there is a feature in 4ext to include system_lib in new nandroids.

Thanks for the info. Two (three) last q's:
- Do you have a link to the Hboot upgrade? What determines whether you should upgrade to hboot to 7 or 2.00.2?
- How do you find 2.8.10? I've tried a few ICS MIUI's but they've been too laggy so I always end up back at GB as it's more stable. Wondering if things have changed in the later releases.

Check out the INDEX in development forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1146601
And about the hboot; doesn't really matter that much, but I would downgrade if I were you.
I downloaded .10 from the UK site.
There's a new release every Friday (yes, today! ) http://miuiandroid.com/

NOTE: THIS IS A STOCK WWE RUU, IT WILL INSTALL WITHOUT A GOLD CARD FOR USER WHOSE ORIGINAL ROM VERSION WAS X.XX.405.X - ANYONE THAT WAS ON A DIFFERENT ROM VERSION WILL NEED TO USE A GOLD CARD
Quick first look would appear to still be HBOOT 0.93 - which CAN be rooted using unrEVOked (I did it first time using Windows 7 x64 Ultimate)
Flashed, runs fine, no new Sense and can't really see anything else new...needs Flash, Maps, Gmail and Facebook updated so not patched either...might be good to someone though
Can you upload the rooted rom would like to give it a go.
I'm not a dev so don't know how to do that...you'll have to wait
That RUU contains the last HTC Sense stock update (2.29.405.2) and the last radio update (5.11.05.27) right?
Actually I already have both of those, but that RUU could be usefull to do a fresh install?
I mean if I run that RUU will erase all (hboot, ROM, kernel, radio, data, ecc) except SD? Is like a factory reset (but with latest radio included)?
2.29.405.2 hasn't gone out on OTA AFAIK (no one reported it yet) and yes it's the latest radio. Using this RUU will return the Desire to stock so yeah it's handy to have in case you need to send it off for a warranty repair
Can i use this without root ????
Yes as it returns the unit to stock, but you can only use this on x.xx.405.x handsets (unless you use a gold card)
My software build is now 2.10.405.2
Radio is 32.44.00.32u_5.09.05.30_2
so i can use this update on my device ??? .... because i didnt receive anything from htc lately.
Well, I think this is for European unbranded desire only
I flashed it with succes
I installed it but it failed because the ruu installed some driver and needed to reboot, i thought i bricked my device ... but after pc reboot and run the ruu again the phone got updated
I have 2.10 version too. Any changes to this version?

Yeah new kernel version, new radio version etc.....i can't say anything about the battery yet
I installed now, didn't noticed anything new yet.
Nothing new is added....read my last post what got updated.
did anyone look for performance changes?
maybe they fixed broken things in the old kernel, like SD speed or bug fixes?
the version number is odd, 2.29.405.2, we had few things added jumping from 2.09 to 2.10

[Q] GB to ICS & BACK to GB....Possible?

I am very much interested in ICS ROM, but one basic question:
If the Radio is not good for my region,esp. the voice clarity thing, and I wish to revert back to the GB ROM with the current RADIO which is on my sensation....would the Nandroid thing work on it???? Or anyway to download the radio which is currently there in my sensation...if yes, How do i find out the Radio for my sensation??
Someone please guide me...
I was flashing ICS ROM yestarday, but things didn't go right. Restored NAND and everything is working, and i still have back my old radio.
I have seen a few reports of going back to a GB ROM over in the InsertCoin thread, so it would seem like reverting back would be an option. It would also depend on whether or not you did the full process of upgrading to an ICS ROM including updating the firmware, because I believe 4.0.1 can be run on the original firmware but 4.0.3 you must update it. According to what I have seen regarding InsertCoin anyways.
Also, I want to say that you can find your radio information if you boot into hboot. (Take battery out, hold VOL down and power). Not 100% sure though, I usually just use it to hop into recovery.
Hope I helped
I flip flopped a couple times now, just make sure u reflash gb firmware if u upgraded for ics, and always use the radio reccomended with the rom. I've had no issues.
Here's my last 4 roms, in case anyone cares.
Cm7->tripnice->cm7->virtuous Inquisition

I am currently running android revolution 5.0.2 without updating my radio or firmware and it is running very well. If I want arhd 6.0.2 then I would need to install new firmware. So far I am keeping my option to return to gingerbread without any hassle.
Flashing a rom or backup doesnt change your radio. You have to go through your bootloader for that. I havent heard any bad news about going back to GB as long as older 10.xx radios are flashed as well. And people have actually gone back succesfully while keeping newer firmware and hboot. And by people i mean me lol. I have a insertcoin GB 3.4.5 backup on tap i use regularly cuz we all know ICS is still learning how to walk on our sensations

Did you flash the radio separately? I am having the problem now as I did a NAND restore to GB, but the radio is still 11.xx...I think the battery is draining more with it. So I want to revert the radio back...but how did you do that? Just flash the radio? I flashed the recent firmware from December in HBOOT and even though it says the custom radio was flashed, the radio still says 11.xx
please let me know

You can flash a radio through hboot screen just like you did with ICS firmware. Im not sure but i dont think the firmware zip from the dec tmo ota had radio included as all radios are rolled up in a thread in the dev section. Theres a radio flashing guide somwhere too

Thanks..I just flashed the radio and it worked. BTW, which GB ROM is good and stable? I am considering trying it out while wait for ICS to finalized. You mentioned the insert coin?

Just wondering if you had problems with the Lock Screen display with the 3.4.5 insertcoin? I tried it, and somehow the lock screen won't display the icons..even when it's turned on from the settings

[Q] Radio 1.13.50.05 & HBoot 2.15

Is anyone familiar with whether or not one can flash a new radio on the HBOOT 2.15.000? I believe the one it comes with is giving me trouble on the T-Mobile network (data drops randomly). I've tried CM10.1 with the 3.4 Kernel, Illusion Rom and PACMAN rom and none of which seem to get a stable connection with the radio-1.13.50.05.31_10.50.08L. Additionally, I can't edit the build.prop file as it's COMPLETELY different than the previous ones. Suggestions?
I've attempted to flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2255906&highlight=radio the radio found there via fastboot and received an error:
C:\Users\TE\Downloads\BehradGH_HBoot_2.15.0000_TWRP_Recovery (1)\fastboot>fastb
ot flash zip radio.zip
sending 'zip' (19455 KB)...
OKAY [ 2.160s]
writing 'zip'...
FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 2.194s
I then attempted to flash via recovery and it goes through successfully however, nothing changes, it's still the same radio once I reboot. I've even tried the AROMA Installer for ALL HBoot and that doesn't work either. I've tried install higher radios and lower radios and none hold true once the phone boots. Should I try a different ROM? If so which do "you" suggest? Am I missing something prior to installation that I'm doing wrong?

we dont have a enginering hboot so forget it using fastboot.
use the temp or sense installers in the dev section.
As I said, I tried the AROMA installer from that post (which is the temp installer you are referring to) via recovery and it still didn't work.
I'll try a sense installer and a sense rom later. Thank you.

It will only change the radio version shown under settings-about phone. It will not change it on the bootloader screen. Only the sense installer will do that, but you must have soff. The temp install will also work for sense in the same way.
The signal issue is also a known problem for the new 3.4 kernel aosp roms

It doesn't even change it in about phone section.
So, what you're saying is that if I change the kernel I could potentially solve the erratic behavior of the radio?
I'm not sure if you were linking DarkSense hinting that I should try that or if it's just your signature but I'll get it anyways. Thank you. I'll try your suggestions after work.
I had the same problem, couldn't flash radio, i flashed 3.16.401 through cwm and then flashed ruu 3.16.401 which changed the radio, couldn't flash ruu before because i had higher version than 3.16.401 orange uk branded and had problem with signal once a day i got emergency call only, now i'm with 3.16.401 and no problems whatsoever, stock runs nice on one s till cm gets stable
I struggled with the radio flashing for 2 days having bootloader unlocked and s-off, ****ty branded network

It's my sig. I do the theme work on plus tweaks and other stuff.
You can't just change the kernel on a room that uses a 3.4 kernel, you would either need to switch to a sense room or an older asop style ROM.

Hello all on my first post.
Background:
Long story short,screwed up my phone a little while back, recovered with: RUU_Ville_U_ICS_40_S_TMOUS_2.35.531.7_Radio_1.08ts.50.02.16_10.08e.50.04L_release_279577_signed
Everything peachy after that, then a couple of days after I got a hold of:
RUU_Ville_U_JB_45_S_TMOUS_3.14.531.17_Radio_1.13.50.05.31_10.30.50.08L_release_320836_ICS_2_JB
Then the problems started, every ROM I tried, the connection dropped and had to restart the phone. Tried to Facepalm, Moonshine, Super CID 11111111, nothing. Spent hours reading and thinking how I could get around this, I can't S-Off, so I can't change the radio and use a regular ROM like CM or BlackBean, not that I'm not grateful, just Sense is not really my thing. Tried BlackBean 9 with kernel 3.4 and didn't worked.
Any ROM that is not Sense based would not keep the signal for internet, unless rebooted.
So my question is: once you have HBOOT 2.15.0000 and Radio 1.13.50.05.31 you are screwed, did anyone in the same situation got S-Off or got it to work some how?
I did make a mission to check the forums for the methods I mentioned for the past 3 months, weekly if not daily.
The phone had originally:
HBOOT-1.14.0005
RADIO-1.11t.50.02.22
OpenDSP-v29.1.0.45.0622
eMMC-boot
Nov 21 2012, 12:17:41
But couldn't find the RUU with that radio, so used the one with 1.08ts.
Thanks in advance.

Nope. Tried Unknown, DarkSense, TrickDroid and SourcE connection is all good. AOSP [regular] ROMs need to reboot the phone, reload APN settings or get in and out of Airport mode, then it works for a while then drops the signal.
I forgot if incoming or outgoing calls work or not on regular ROMs.

Installed ville_PAC_JB_4.2.2-v23.0.0_20130716-224253 last night, in the morning, tried to see a few pages, same shtick, no data connection. But remembered to test the phone and it connected to voice mail.
Hmmm.
Tried Odyssey 2.50 for about 10 hours, no problems. But didn't installed my usual apps, just kept checking on the data to see if it dropped, all good. Then got a hold of Odyssey 2.70 actually put all my apps in, configure the interface and such, nothing fancy.
Then I tried to use the data, nothing, but not even tried to load the pages, I found it strange, because before it was usually after a few hours that the data started to act up with the other ROMs I tried. Then it occurred to me, why not try deactivating DroidWall 1.5.7, BINGO!
Data did dropped at times but it came back up, and loaded the page, I guess it was because a data cap, I'm just guessing. But if it makes it the whole day without giving problems, that was probably the culprit:victory:

Hey the problem is the rom! it just has the meta it need the system file without it it will fail. also you need recorvery clock work mod or twrp without then it is a fail but find a better rom first
I got the same problem. Ran the JB_TMOUS RUU and lost my phone signal. I tried newest CM rom (4.4.2) but it didn't help. Tried flashing temporary radio V4, and it made no difference. How do I get my phone service back?

Now, I am in the same s*** position as you. Did you solve the problem? If you did please, explain how did you solve it.
"cough" A bit late, but just for future reference for anyone that might find themselves with the same problem.
Get a hold of rumrunner to S-Off, thats the only method that I've tried that worked, also if you can't find rumrunner, get a Sense ROM to keep you using the phone.
I gave up after a long wait for a reliable S-Off method, so my phone was stored for about a year been using my old Sensation 4G.
And just to put it out there, always check, double check and triple check before you do anything, if you are impatient at the moment, go out for a smoke, get some gum, drink a beer, whatever you need to do to relax a bit, and then go back to the task, I know is not surgery but it felt like that at times.:silly:

[Q] [ROM][4.4.2][Sense 6][SVN] help thread for LIBERTY ROM - The Sixth Element

Hello,
I can not find similar topic in the HELP forum so let me start it (at least for new users of XDA forum).
At the very beginning I would like to thank bilal_liberty for all his work given for Liberty ROM. Same time I want to thank all participants of his success - all developers, testers and helpers for their time and patience..
Now, my problems:
1) I can not run WIFI hotspot. The icon is working, working and... doing nothing.
2) From time to time I can not run WIFI connection in my home. Of course everything is "ON", I tried to restart the phone, turn of the data transfers and some other tricks - the connection was working just after installing the ROM, but it is a lottery.
3) I have an issue with memory: I can't see the "SDCARD" memory - only when in TWRP mode, after mounting the SDCARD drive. When connecting in normal mode through USB - I can see only about 2 GB.
Is there any solution for those problems?
HTC One S(4), s-off, TWRP 2.7.0.1, hboot 2.15 (I don't believe 2.16 will change it but "if" - I'll upgrade, of course...
Thanks for any help.
Hello xklonik and welcome to our community,
to answer your questions in descending order.
3) Sixth Sense is not compatible with hboot 2.15, so that's why you have problems with your sd card inside the rom (recovery is somewhat, "standalone")
2 + 1 ) These problems are well known issues and reported over the development thread. Developers are working hard to try and fix these issues but it's also a fact that without the source code of the sense roms, there's only so much we can do.
Also maybe because of your incompatible boot, these issues are getting worse.
There are two solutions:
a) Either upfrade to hboot 2.16 (with the procedure at maximusHD thread)
or if you are scared of this procedure
b) stay on hboot 2.15 and use LibertyMAX instead (both hboot supported and is more stable in my opinion - and by stable I mean no weird wifi issues whatsoever)
Other than that, both roms are excellent and it's really a matter of preference which one to choose. :good:

Hi ChrisAr.
Thanks for your reply.
I'm not scared with the hboot change I just couldn't see any reason to change it if the ROM (at all) was working. Now I see that my issues can be caused by this tinny missing so I'll update hboot after working hours
I'll update this thread after the upgrade.
Thanks for help.
No problem, glad to help
Be aware though. After upgrading hboot(following carefully MaximusHD's instructions), you must reflash recovery with 2.16 hboot support which can be found here -> mdmower.cmphys.com/twrp-ville/ (Cannot post full link due to post restrictions)
Just be sure to flash the one under /data/media storage (HBOOT 2.16.0000 only) header.
:good:
so.. there is a problem...
without any issue I succeed with hboot update to 2.16... however..
as you suggested, I also downloaded and upgraded TWRP with hboot 2.16 support (both, twrp-2.7.1.0a-ville-dm, twrp-2.7.1.2-ville-dm)...
unfortunately, after reboot to TWRP, I can not "mount SDCARD", which previously was available in hboot 2.15 & TWRP 2.7.0.1 in MOUNT menu..
also - I don't know why - I could not find my ROM on SDCARD and actually, I could not access the card at all...
so, I can not install anything.. I can boot to bootloader or TWRP, I can communicate with the cellphone via fastboot (I can change TWRP to any version I want)... I tried to flash-in my old version of TWRP, properly working with 2.15, but under 2.16 I have only 48 MB of free space when mounting the SDCARD
any advice?
I have:

since my connection with phone works perfectly, only one way to deal with lack of space and no ROM on SDCARD was to push it via adb

Sorry I didn't see your post earlier. I was away on vacation.
In that time, sixth sense got 2.15 support.. Irony
Not sure why you had that problem. Maybe you had to perform a full wipe (from the recovery options) to force re-partitioning. Old hboot had created different partitions on phone's memory and you had to create them from scratch, for the new hboot.
Also I assume you know that when you change hboot, you have to re-install also everything from scratch since everything installs according to hboot. If you just upgraded hboot, it would not work as expected if you just left the old installation there.
Anyway, glad to hear this worked for you and that you also found a workaround with "adb push" by your self. Good job :good:
Enjoy this awesome ROM. (Just flashed it too this morning) :highfive:
yeas... actually I did the instalation agait too..
and unfortunately wifi still wont work
btw. I'm always performing full wipe, so have no idea what happened then..nevertheless, I've full space and rest of toys, just without wifi and hot spot, what in fact, eliminates this ROM.. :/
unfortunately 2) no one answered my mail regarding any ROM supporting all One S features (camera, wifi, hotspot, BT) and Sense 6 on newest kitkat... so I'm still in the oblivion.. waiting for some light..
just to confirm - build 106 - after changing 1.35a.32.45.27, WCNSS, ADSP, wifi & hotspot still not working,
what is interesting, previously the wifi icon only blinked - currently "scanning" & "disconnecting" subtitles are visible under this icon...
also previously just right after installing I could connect to my network and wifi was turned off just after authorisation and few next screens..
now with new 1.35a.32.45.27, WCNSS, ADSP I can not join at all..
I've been following your posts on the development thread.
This issue is really weird...I wanted to write about different WCNSS versions (some people flashed it from the Viper ROM) but I couldn't post due to post count restriction. Anyway, bilal noticed that too in his recent post. I have flashed everything you flashed and only reverted to radio 1.20 but with hsdpa fix (it is included in one of the flashable radios, don't know if it's included in the version you downloaded)
WiFi is working perfectly for me. Only this "keep always on" issue.
Hi everyone,
First off thanks to bilal for his amazing work, second I hope I am not off topic since this is a help thread for Liberty SixthSense.
After reading the entire development thread on this ROM, I still can't figure out how to install it on hboot2.15. I get a feeling that there is a different way to install this rom on 2.15, or I'm missing something.
So yes, I download the zips of r106 version and the radio 1.20 version. But afterwards I just do as I would do with any other ROM? I mean full wipe, dalvik cache wipe, recovery cache wipe, and then install from zips? and if so, which should be instlled first, the radio or the whole rom?
Mindue, I am noob at this, so I don't understand everything I've read so far and this would be the only way I know to install a rom.:silly:
quick checklist:
- S4
- recovery TWRP 2.7.1.0 the one from Cyanogenmod 11 since I'm on this rom now.
- S-OFF
- hboot 2.15
Hi!
I think you are good to go. Since you don't know any other way to install a ROM (adb sideload/push), I would say to be carefull what you wipe because you might erase the OS and you won't be able to transfer the zips from your computer (regularly, like a flash drive).
Other than that everything is good...recovery is for right hboot(since you already have cm11; official I suppose which is for 2.15)
Flash radio
Flash ROM -> choose full wipe during install
Never heard of recovery cache wipe so don't mess with that
Best of luck! :good:

Thank you! I will try and see where it leads me, if it fails I believe I can put back the cm11 right ? even with the new flashed radio.
As far as I know, there are no problems with cm11 and radios...but even if there is, you can always flash an older radio...but 1.20 is the recommended for our device in general.
Glad I could help :good:
Ok, so I try to flash the radio (before full wipe and rom flash) but it fails, I get the followings:
checking for MD5 file > no MD5 file found
verifying zip signature > failed
any ideas to where I went wrong?
LATER EDIT: scratch that, the problem was the 'ZIP signature files verification' box should have been unticked and thus no more md5 file required. --> radio flashed! now on 1.20. later I will try to flash the liberty rom. update afterwards
PS. found this in another thread:
"an md5 is not "added to a file", nor is it "a part of a file". An md5 is merely a hexadecimal readout of the contents of that file.
Here's how it works: A file is created, in our case it is a zip file. The creator or publisher of that file uses an md5 generator to generate the md5sum, which as I said before, is just a numerical readout (like a fingerprint) of the contents of that file. Now the end user has a tool to make sure that the file hasn't been compromised during a download or transfer. Using an md5 checker is a simple way to verify that the file is uncompromised. Input the md5 given by the publisher into an md5 checking app, then the app calculates the md5 of the file you've downloaded, if they match you know the file integrity is good."
Just installed the ROM, everything works fine, very fast and smooth, no WiFi problems, HOPEFULLY no radio problems (I previously had Venom Viper Sense5 and had major issues with radio and lots of random restarts).

Glad to hear that.
I had also these random restarts, but they are gone now.
Enjoy
Still new here so can't post in the dev thread, but...
Installed the latest version (clean install), everything works solid. Hotspot works as before - have to turn it on, then reboot and Wi-Fi mostly works but occasionally needs restart to work. Other than that, everything is stable and quick, very happy with the ROM. As I primarily use 3G and don't rely on Wi-Fi as well as can use USB tethering instead of Wi-Fi hotspot, I'm not that annoyed by these issues.
However - on r107, I tried out the ElementalX 7.0 kernel as well but as I experienced issues with touch screen, I searched the thread and found a fix which turned out to be a special kernel. Therefore although the kernel in the ROM was updated and now there are no touch issues with the default kernel, the ElementalX kernel also needs updating. Really miss DT2W but a responsive touchscreen is more important to me.
Tried the kernel now after r111 install but the touch problem is still there so had to revert to default kernel.
I hope the kernel's developer sees this and can release an update :fingers-crossed:
no recent apps
I cant find the recent apps in this system
Problems
Hey guys, first post in this forum. I'm a total noob when it comes to rooting and roms and all this stuff, but if I didn't try it I would always be, so I tried this rom on my htc one s.
Several problems, I may have screwed up of course, I followed some tutorials, so I have this rom, but I am S-On, and my hboot is 2.15, I think that is what is causing me problems (SD card not recognized, meaning, no storage space, wifi problems, can't log in to google play).
But I can't get S-off, I've tried every single way, and something always goes wrong, I don't know what to do now, I think the solution would be to change to hboot 2.16, but I just can't do it, probably need to be S-off? No idea, would love to hear some feedback, I'll leave you with whatever it says on my bootloader.

I've tried jellybean flashing
I tried the viper ROM (which gets stuck flashing unless I don't install all the google apps)
Post every flash, I turn the phone off and then power it back up. For a little while it'll say something "correctly" like that it's android 4.4.... buuuuut it is still the default wallpaper and goes back to saying android 4.0 and of course the bugging to update to a new stock android is still present as is the "out of storage space" error message....
I've tried updating the recovery (currently a somewhat buggy cwm where the screen is 1/8th offset half the time... v6.0.2.8) and that hasn't worked... Typing this out I decided to try flashing the recovery once more since when I first was doing it I apparently had S-ON... So I flashed the latest TWRP (3.0.1-0-k2_cl) and..... now it's bricked.... it won't boot normally nor will it boot into recovery mode, but I can get to the hboot menu.... HALP! lol
The final kicker to my scenario is that I'm on linux and don't have access to any Windows machines, but I do have heimdall and adb installed.
Okay... So because I was still able to get into the HBoot menu and then put it into the Fastboot menu with the USB cable connected I was able to flash a new recovery.
I got the TWRP 2.8.5.0 recovery from http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/k2_cl
I was able to install fastboot and adb thanks to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2638673
I re-tried flashing the Jelly Bean rom I had with the same result as before the bad recovery problem occurred... It boots up, but it's still Android 4.1, even though it is S-OFF-ed.... And that shouldn't be happening... I'm pulling the battery and rebooting after flashing so nothing should be overwritten... What gives?
Your best way to go:
http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_...V_NV_Boost_2.20_150_release_389346_signed.exe
As far as i remeber, there was no custom rom that was made for k2cl.
correct.. there is no custom rom for the boost variant.. there is a partition swapper changing the 4gb media with the 1gb internal storages.. romcleaner works to get rid of all the boost garbage.. twrp will fit your screen.. havent used cwm since my hero
The Viper rom claims it covers all variants. And somewhere along the way I downloaded two Boost based roms aside from that.
I tried to get the RUU to work, but couldn't. I borrowed a friend's Windows laptop, installed adb and fastboot and it just would not connect or see my phone in the RUU. I even tried forcing the driver to be installed correctly, which never worked for some reason.
I ended up installing Link2SD and setting up a 16gb partition for apps. So at least it's not complaining about being out of space anymore. It is still wanting me to download the OTA update. Not the end of the world.
I do have a new issue though. For some reason the "wiper" app keeps crashing. Not sure what it is or where to find it. I suspect it's named differently and I either need to flush it or install an uncorrupted copy. Any suggestions?

This was a permission bug from updater script, when i remember.
Wiper is some wifi or network location service. If you don't need it, rename it or delete it.
