[Q] [Help] Wifi not working on Viper 1.21

Hi ppl,
I've gone trough at least dozens of posts related to Wifi issues on Pyramid and Viper, but none of the suggested fixes seems to work for me.
I've flashed Viper 1.21 ROM with Yank 2.52 kernel, did the full wipe, and installed WiFix but to no avail. Tried with and without the SIM card plugged.
S-OFF is not the problem as i had CM 9.1 installed previously and all RADIO worked fine, so no problems there.
Any suggestions?
I reaaally like the Viper ROM

Are you soff?
And only on viper you don't have Wifi?

Yes, I'm soff.
So far only wiper has issues with Wifi. Tonight i'll try some other sense based ROM to see if the issue persists.
As I mentioned Cyanogenmod 9.1 worked flawlessly (as far as the wifi goes)

what recovery are you using ?
if not 4EXT recovery ..change it to 4EXT then flash the ROM again (dont use superwipe too ..use 4EXT -> wipe| format -> format all partitions except sdcard)

I'm using CWM recovery - maybe that could be the issue? I'll try 4EXT and let you know.
Thanks!

What does your bootloader say at the top?
Unlocked or Locked or Relocked or JuopunutBear or Revolutionary?

then you are not SOFF !!!! see the second line is saying S-ON
you need to follow this guide to the letter while flashing any ROM ..to have proper installation ..otherwise you will have either wifi error or ROM not booting up

Hm.. Could something change the state of s-off? Cyanogenmod also would not work with s-on and wifi, right??
I'll make it s-off again...

I already did the step 1 - The boot.img was not correctly installed by cmw anyways (like 4ext does with smartflash)

That's because you didn't do it properly.
You need to relock prior to flashing an RUU.

[Q] [q] help me please, phone stuck

Hello Everyone
First of all i would like to thank all of the community members for their continious help and support. I am having the following problem with my phone [HTC SENSATION - HBOT -1.27.1100, RADIO -11.24A..., please have a look and let me have your suggestions as how to rectify it to get my phone back to me ---
- Viper rom 1.35 was installed for quite a long time, it was working fine.
-i wanted to try a new rom so as usual i made nanodrop and tried to flash a new rom x,y,z////.
-everything seemed fine, i didn’t liked the rom after flashing so i went back to 4ext backup and opted to restore....a usual process....
-after restore, what i did is, after restore is completed i went to wipe cache/delvik cache and cleared it. and then i pressed reboot........
---not everything screwed after that....,my phone is stuck at the boot screen......
tried again and again....., i then flashed viper1.35 fresh> reboot> same problem> screen stuck on boot
- i though maybe this is due to error in the firmware so in flashed the latest PGM.... firmware 3.33 i guess> then full wipe> flashed new rom----same result
- i tried 5 other rom types which use to work fine and smooth before that....but everything is stuck on boot screen.....
I couldn’t figure it out whats the problem...>>>>??????/
any guesses and solutions

Hi,
There is no harm in trying what you are suggesting.
I find 4EXT an easy recovery to use.
Yes,you will still be able to flash any custom ROM.
If you get the same charging problem with 4 EXT,then,try a Sense ROM.

Thank you

If you're S-OFF then a better recovery to use is TWRP (TWRP has many benefits including the fact that it won't spontaneously corrupt your boot partition when flashing a kernel, unlike 4ext). Try 4ext and TWRP and see which one you like; the nice thing about being S-OFFed is that you have nice options like this

Yes, but a lot of ROM's require you to have 4ext recovery to flash correctly.

if you are S-OFF you should be fine with any recovery
but TWRP i think is the best one for S-OFF devices
if you are S-ON then use 4ext recovery

Sure i'm going to try TWRP .. now i'm on 4EXT ... thank u all

Trouble on installing ROM on my sensation XE

I am a rookie in Sensation XE, I just brought it yesterday. The phone is pre-installed CWM. When I flash ARHD into my phone, it can't boot into the system, it just stuck at the boot animation. What happen to it?? H-BOOT 1.29 , S-ON. Thx a lot
Also, when I install CM10.1 on it, the WiFi doesn't work. Am I missing something ??

[SOLVED] [Q] Yellow Mode Brick?

Hello all, my friend is having problems with his HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio.
The problem arose when he decided he wanted to try JellyBam. Previously he was on CM10 running JB 4.1.1, however due to a bad download and installing JellyBam, it seems he's semi-bricked his device. He's able to get to recovery, flash, etc, however he can't get past the HTC bootscreen via normal bootup. His device is pretty much a paperweight at the moment.
In order to help him, I've tried flashing the latest version of Venom, however although the rom install was a success, his phone won't budge past the HTC bootscreen.
I've searched the forum for answers, and it seems there's a possibility that Dexter's Unbrick tool could work, but it says on the thread that XE isn't supported although there is a XE archive? I've tried wiping userdata, dalvik cache and cache.
He's rooted with S-ON (because S-OFF was difficult to do). HBoot ver 1.29. 4-Ext Recovery ver 1.0.0.5
Any help much appreciated.
