[Q] wifi/BTproblem - HTC Sensation

hallo,
i've got a htc sensation with s-off, locked, hboot 1.27 and installed a custom rom ARHD 6.8, following the steps on ARHD.
now my problem is (like many others) that my wifi and bt won't turn on.
i search in windows for boot.img and and i found boot.img (of course) and faux en sebastian.
Some say that the wifi (and maybe) BT error is due to kernel mismatch.
What can i do to fix this problem?

try to use the wifix manager
also you can use the extra1 srep from this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861 (i hope it will be useful because it is for S-ON devices but give it a try to see if it works)
best wishes

It's not due to a kernel mismatch as such. It's due to the kernel modules not matching the version of the kernel. What you need to do is flash a custom kernel from recovery

I tried SebastianFM and Faux. Still no WiFi and Bluetooth. And WiFix Manager aggravated the problem, it says Error. Not even "Turning On...". I have given up hope

I tried stock kernel, faux and sebastion kernel through ext4. What stock kernel do you suggest?

Use the forbidden kernel
use google to find it. (type forbidden kernel htc sensation) maybe it helps.

Flashing a firmware is not like flashing a Rom. While Rom is flashed via recovery and can be any zip file, fw is flashed via hboot nd it should be a file PG58IMG.zip in the root of your sd card.
I did not understand the 'correctness' part. Make sure the md5 is correct? That they match?

AFAIK if you have 3.32 it's not a must to move up to 3.33. Its mainly a radio update which you can manually do yourself, if you wish, and it comes with a new hboot 1.29 (which is still locked, but should not bother most users)
So If you're on 3.32 Roms would play nicely with it.
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium
So I don't need firmware 3.33 to run arhd 6.7.0 and vipers1.0.1?so basically people ate only updating to 3.33 firmware is to change there radio,rils?I just don't understand the reason why some people are updating to firemware 3.33. Thanks!!!

You dont have to (arhd 6.7.0 and venom 1.01 will work w/o 3.33) but its recommended.

when you downloaded the firmware, there was instructions on how to install them...follow them.

No you don't flash like a Rom, remember I told you how to do it in a pm? Just follow those instructions please. If you get confused take a look at the instructions again. Or check the pm answer I've given. Hope this helps!

I think the issue is down to mismatch of radio or kernels. Im having the same issues myself since flashing viper. Flashed Kang 10 jellybean and wifi was restored for an hour but back to same now. Just tried latest ruu and completely factory wiped but lost rev in hboot now just says locked. ThinknI have to flash the radio again to use adb commands. Really frustrating though.
Some guidance from someone with a bit of wit would be perfect

[Q] A pending update to your boot partition has been detected - 4EXT

Good day to All,
I Need Help.
Intro,
My Phone is Sensation 4G S-Off, HBoot 1.27.110, Firmware 3.33 Universal.
Rom being Used is ViperS 1.41.
What Happened,
I was flashing a different kernel (that I used before multiple times) and my problem started,
The Problem,
The Phone starts, HTC Logo (behind a white background) and after less than a minute it shuts down.
I can access 4EXT Recovery normally after seeing a notification message stating ("A pending update to your boot partition has been detected") and after I click through it I can access 4EXT normally.
What did I do,
Tried flashing multiple kernels, Multiple Roms, restored Multiple Backups and still the same thing. HTC Logo and it shuts down, and if the phone is plugged in to the power it will keep boot looping.
I would highly appreciate some input as I can't use my phone what so ever.

Try running an RUU
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using xda premium
Same setup as OP
S-off' hboot- 1.27
After flashing a kernel, and selecting reboot now, a message appeared about pending update detected. After reboot, will not pass HTC logo.
I've tried different kernel, roms, and backups, and still nothing.
This happened after flashing Sultan-kernel rc4 1512ghz. My phone booted before at higher ghz so I don't believe that's the issue.
Edit: Flashed different ruu, now hboot 1.29 s-off, still same issue.
Thanks for any help possible.

yeah i saw your posts in 4ext recovery thread
glad for you man:good:
Whenever I had this problem happen to me I flashed the boot.img file from the ROM I was using through fastboot then everything worked. Might save you some time next time something like this happens (happened to me a lot when I was S-on using 4ext) because you won't have to wipe everything and reinstall your ROM.
