Hey guys, flashed ViperS 1.4 on my Sensation 4G (TMoUS) with 4Ext, didn't change much as of overclocking CPU/GPU, wiped cache/delvik, booted fine, WiFi wouldn't do anything except say "Turning on..." I decided to look into it, someone suggested to another person with similar problem to instead reflash as an update and don't wipe anything and that didn't do the trick. WiFi works on other Roms, just not this one.
I did some extensive research but couldn't find much to help my position. Any advice?

Hi,
Are you s-on?
If so, follow Extra 1 in THIS GUIDE
I in fact am S-Off, I am hoping that the fix is in 1.4.1, I noticed a lot of people with the similar problem with no known solution.

Sense 4.0 keeps crashing, and I can't do anything
I am S-off and hboot 1.27.000
//Ignore quoted text, it was the OP
Hi,
I have just installed the ViperS rom v1.1.0.. well when I say just, I mean about 2 hours ago.
Its still busy booting... at the screen where it says HTC Sense and then animates to HTC Sensation with the snake that moves out, and also has the beatsaudio logo.
is it supposed to take this long?
I used most of the default settings when installing, apart from removing a few apps, ie twiiter, flckr, etc.
Also changed the GPS fix to South Africa, as that is where I'm from.
Thanx

hmm ok, so eventually got the rom working...
however sense 4.0 keeps crashing... so I cant do anything.
Any suggestions?
I was using viper and my device kept freezing. I kept having to pull battery to get it to un freeze. The older version never done that. Perhaps it's the Rom It's self? Many people use viper without issue, but for me it continued to freeze. I did fresh install, wiped, on newest firmware, just can't figure out what's causing it? Last version ran wonderfully! This version had to pull battery around 5 times a day to un freeze .....

I am going to flash the older version now v1.0.1, to see if my problems are sorted.
Do you know if I need to change my kernel or anything for mine to work?
is it just me or is the aroma installer buggy?
No it should work fine with default kernel. It's bricked. Never had a problem with older version. Ran like a dream! Just new updated version brings issues...

hmmm flashed older version now and still does the same... sense 4.0 perma crash
the sens4 crash might be a firmware issue. Or it may happen if you did not do a full wipe.
Strange because older version was solid .but the new version I can't use. Too many issues with freezing. Have you tried the new ROM lightning? It's also sense4 and seems fast and smooth and has tweaks and aroma installer.? I'm trying it out now. Seems good and solid.

i ever used viper rom older version
but when i tried to connect to my office's wifi, when the wifi ask identity and password, the place for input the identity and password is keep disappear.
i don't know where is the problem, and i never post it in the developer section, because my post is not enough yet hehehe
After flashing 1.2.1 (and .0) as well, I can record 1080p videos only in default app.
Dailyroads and blackbox (recording video in case of car accident) are not working - recording just crashes. Performed full wipe. Anybody has similar problem?
I have been trying out a few ROMs and it seems the WiFi on the jelly bean ROMs are weak compared to ICS roms. Has anyone had this problem.

I've used Bruce's CM10 builds and recently switching to the official Cyanogen CM10 builds. Last week I tried out Nikez's JB 4.2 AOSP build. I had great wifi on all of them. Like satndin gout in my front yard with the wifi router in the basement in the back of my house good. So it's not the ROM itself. (Though it could be a combination of the ROM and some app or mod you're running)
You might have a weak connection on the wifi anteneas inside the back case of the phone. Take the back cover off, look at the gold pins on the phone, and make sure they are all raised up. You can take a tiny screw driver and pry them up a little more to make sure they are getting good contact with the back cover (which is the antenea). Juts be VERY careful when doing it.
It might not help, but it's a cheap thing to try.
I have tried that too but its strange I can switch to a ICS ROM and I will have full bars in my whole house but with the jelly bean ROMs its one or two bars unless I'm right next to it.

I've got some WiFi tweaks in my kernel that might help. My kernel, Sultan, has the WiFi voltage increased to the max and it has some WiFi signal parameters altered at the kernel level so WiFi networks with weaker signal can be seen. If my kernel doesn't really help then I can build a kernel just for you that forces the system to use the BCM4329 WiFi driver instead of the BCMDHD WiFi driver; that may help. BTW, if you download my kernel then make sure you download the one for Jelly Bean and not the one for Sense.
I tried your kernel and my WiFi is still weak compared to ICS but does seem a little stronger
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda app-developers app
This is a confirmed issue, its not kernel related, because even with the kernels with improved wifi voltage (which is more voltage than stock), its still a weaker signal than on an ICS based rom.

Is it an issue with proprietary drivers/code or a issue with JB itself?
I tried two different ones but both the same still weak WiFi ... I am new to HTC so I might not be wiping something right but anyways what kind of recovery should I use and what should be wiped every time I flash a new ROM

most users who are S-ON(like me) 4ext has a feature which calls smartflash
before flashing any rom you have to enable smartflash before flashing(if you are S-ON)
and then flash the rom
for S-ON devices it is one way to boot a rom after installation
if you are S-OFF you don't need that feature
So if I'm s off then ext4 isn't really a must have for me

4ext was really buggy for me. 1 of the many bugs I experienced with 4ext was that sometimes after flashing a kernel the phone would get stuck at the HTC screen and I would have t use fastboot to flash a boot.img file in order to get my phone to boot; flashing another kernel in the recovery didn't work and it would still be stuck at the HTC screen -_- If you have S-OFF then use TWRP. Just my 2 cents.
Hello, noob here
I have been using CM 10 for about two weeks and everything was fine (sort of). However, after the latest nightly, my wifi will no lunger turn on. NO it is not a connection problem with my router or any other, the rom will simply read "Turning Wi-Fi on..." in setting but it will never actually turn on. This is happening on 2 differente CM nightlys as well as the most recent Unnoficial AOKP. Any suggestions?
You need to flash your boot.img I used to have the same problem with my vivid. But this is something you should have re-searched its all over the place lol

Thanks, was having the same problem, knew it was a kernel issue, Ironically I was researching it before I posted and saw your solution, Thanks!
Hey guys I need a little help. Recently I dropped my phone and cracked my screen/digitizer. Had it replaced today but for some reason my Bluetooth nor WiFi will connect. I have flashed a few ROMs thinking it was the ROM I was on or possibly the kernel. They both stick at turning on then do nothing. This is on both sense ROM and cm10.1 ROM. Could I have disengaged the radios when dropped? However I'm still getting a cellular signal. When i go into settings to the the addresses, it says unavailable. Any help would be appreciated! By the way I am HTC boot loader unlocked with s on smart flash!

I had the same experience when I did the Big Part modification and installed Omni. No radio. I tried all of the other ROMs for Big Part and only got a signal with EOS 4. With EOS 4 I only had 3G, no LTE. I have been reading about this like crazy, and have seen where people have stated that the custom ROMs made not have the radio built in, but I haven't been able to find out how to add it back or correct my situation. I have seen that other people have stated that they DO have data service after installing Big Part ROMs, so there has to be something we're missing here.
Sorry I don't have a solution. I'm hoping someone with some knowledge on the subject will chime in.

I have continued to look into this, and I just discovered my Xoom is not showing an IMEI number. It is all zeros. You should check and see if you have the same issue. I'm doing research now on how can get the numbers back.
Mine isn't showing the imei number either

Well, I am a little glad that I am not the only one who ran into this issue. I haven't come up with a solution yet, but I did switch back to EOS4 and I have 3G. It's a little slow, but it's better than nothing. I am going to do some more research on this tonight. I'll let you know if I come up with anything.

I have continued to seek out the cause of and solution to this problem. Answers from the XDA forums and the internet in general are all over the place as to the cause, but it seems that flashing back to stock is the solution that almost everyone has found success with.
We're in a bind because you can't flash a stock image back onto the BigPart partitioned Xoom. I haven't seen a method to change the Xoom back to it's stock partitions just yet soo... I'm at a loss as to what can be done as of this moment. As soon as someone in the know posts a method to restore the stock partitions I'll flash back to stock and see what happens.
I flashed the eos ROM and will wait for this to get fixed

I thought you might be interested. This is apparently what needs to be done to get the stock partitions back on the Xoom. Basically just going through the BigPart procedure again, but replacing the BigPart recovery with the regular one. Some time over the weekend I will probably give it a shot. I have been using my Xoom with EOS and 3G service (not very good 3G service) for a week or so now, but I would really like to get my 4G LTE back. Looks like a lot of Stingray users are having data issues with BigPart roms.
