Okay so I call myself scouring the net for anyone who has had the same issue as me. I am stock with BeastMod kernel on 2.20. Also WiFi tether tweak installed. Whenever I restart phone bookshops three or four times then eventually boots. Everything I have found had been for infinite bootlooping. All I really ask for is a point in the right direction. This is my first HTC phone since I was loading android from SD card on HTC Pure. I have done a little bit with the Inspire and have unbricke Evos for friends but just can't figure this situation out. Any help would be appreciated.
Update: Fixed by flashing boot.IMG from stock then refreshing kernel and boot.IMG created by kernel. Now I am experiencing WiFi error so it looks like I will be starting from scratch again.

change kernel settings or try another kernel
Tried that. Went to stock kernel and experienced the same issue. I noticed that there was no need to fastboot flash the beastmod kernel. I used flashgui to flash stock kernel and sure enough on restart a fee bootloops then boom it starts. So I reinstalled beastmod because it's just an awesome kernel and the problem persist. Another question I tried flashing a Rom which led to my internal not being read. Fixed that problem and the bootloops have been happening ever since. Guess I just need to start from scratch. Just did that a week ago when I trade my Skyrocket for this phone (got lucky there).

don't factory reset in bootloader or it will corrupt your sdcard. have you tried flashing a custom rom?
Haven't flashed a custom yet. Just can't really find one I like well enough to flash.

HELP!!!
Hey guys need some help here...was running the CM7 alpha7 and everything has been great. Phone was fully charged on the charger this morning and I rebooted just for kicks. I come back in the room a few mins later and the phone is bootlooping. Tried restoring a backup of cm7 and same thing even after a fresh wipe and install.
Restored a miui backup i have and everything is fine with that.
I cannot install a new rom or my cm7 nandroid only this miui one. tried flashing old cwr and same results. have even tried sense based roms and they will not boot. all i get is the htc splash screen and then it bootloops.
Any idea what I need to do or what went wrong? thanks!!!
Maybe kernel or radio not compatible or something? You could try the RUU
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e
I would advise to run the RUU and start fresh.
Might be radio issue most likely since CM7 uses their own one according to xda users.

Tried it and it didn't work...wouldn't boot kept bootlooping the slash screen. So the only two nandroids I can restore and only two Roms I can flash are trips miui and rcmix sense 3.5 isn't that weird? I'm so confused...

Did you get your problem solved? I have almost the exact same issue, but with a slightly different experience. I was using a sense 3.5 rom (Insert Coin) and, when I tried to update the ROM to the newest version, I couldn't get past the HTC splash screen (the HTC splash screen would come on for about 3 seconds, and then reboot). I was able to get into recovery and restore a CM7 rom and a previous Insert Coin rom, but I can't flash anything else without bootlooping.
I've tried flashing an older recovery (didn't work), using an alternative recovery (didn't work), flashing the RUU (didn't work), and formatting my SD card (didn't work). Nothing seems to work. :-(
Hey there,
I have an interesting problem, and it has completely stumped me for the past couple days. I recently S-Off'd my Sensation, put cwm recovery on it, and set my CID to 11111111.
I haven't had any problems with that (except that I had to change computers to do it, Revolution didn't want to run right on my laptop or set the CID, so I had to use my desktop).
Now the problem comes when I try to flash a custom ROM. The first one I tried flashing was CM7. When it booted, I got a bootloop problem of the CM7 mod logo over and over. I decided maybe it was a problem with CM7 still being in alpha. Then I tried flashing HyperSensation 1.8, and got the same error (bootloop) on the loading screen. After trying various other ROMS, I realized that it was a common problem with all custom ROMS. Luckily I had backed up the stock setup, and was able to get into that. So it's not a problem with the hardware. I have only tried flashing gingerbread ROMS. I know that ICS ROMS need a new firmware, but I dont want to mess with that unless I can actually get a gingerbread ROM working first...
Any ideas? There was a thread or two about this (on other phones) but didn't have any solutions listed..
Thanks for any ideas people can give me!

Hi,
Did you root your phone?
Did you flash the superwipe zip first?
Also are you getting full reboots with HTC splash screen then animation or just the animation looping? Sometimes I have to let mine loop for 5 minutes after first boot of new rom before it settles.
Sent from my Sensation XE using XDA App
I guess I hadn't done everything.. I didn't factory reset before flashing the new ROM... As soon as I did that it boot right in. That's a bit odd to me, as I didn't have to do that with my last phone.
Anywho, solved.

Ive looked just like the rules stated. Yet i can not find out a reason to my problem. Im no noob whenit comes to flashing kernels and roms. with that being said here goes. I have jst aquired a Nexus S. I traded it for my old iphone 4 felt good to be back to android. anyways I have Kangy-U loaded up and ready to go just flashed it yesterday. today I figured after some resarch I would flash Air kernel. after I flashed it through recovery (CM) it goes through the proces and says it s flashed. I boot back into kangy and look under settings and find Its still stock. I tried again, same problem. by this point I figured bad download redownloded same problem. so I then figured ok they are just not playing nice together. I trie a different one. this time cyans stock universal still same problem.
Is there a step Im missing?
Have you posted over in the thread for the ROM? Never heard of a kernel not flashing like that with the recovery saying the flash was successful.

The only fix is update with OTA or downgrade the Hboot.
I ran into the same issue with 3 other ROMs today. Finally used TWRP recovery (instead of the CWM I had been using) and installed JellyBam 4.0.0 (and flashed the boot.img with fastboot.)
I can't say that's what fixed it because I can't honestly say the other ROMs were the cause of the problem. All I can tell you is that within minutes of rebooting after the install, my phone connected to wifi.
Good luck with it - I'm sure others who actually know what they're talking about will offer more than I can.
Thanks guys just wanted to see what my solutions were.

Don't help with Sense based roms.
Any guides or links on how to update? I'm on my phone atm.
Seems every HTC device is different when it comes to this stuff lol

Never had wifi issues on my 1.14. Although the only sense-based roms Ive used have been ICS ones. Maybe the wifi wouldnt work on JB sense roms.
Wifi works fine on JB AOSP roms though.
Similar problems with wifi. I've tried several ROM's, lastly Jellybam 4.0.0, came from CM10, before that some other custom rom, now stock 3.16.401.8. I think my wifi hardware is broken. Going tomorrow to warranty service. I'm not expecting the warranty to cover this since I tried several ROM's, but I will try and see what happens.

If it is a sense ROM.. and you have hboot 1.14 or higher.. the WiFi partitions won't work.. no real fix other than downgrading your hboot.. not easy and could brick your phone.. I went non_sense ROM and all is good..

Do not downgrade its not safe many clam it is but if heard stories of ville bricking 2-3 weeks after downgrade.
two things that work to fix my wifi and yes im on hboot 1.14.00.4.
when you flash a new rom first use flash image gui app on your currant rom to flash boot img.
if you cant use flash image gui before flashing rom just fastboot the boot img using a pc then after new rom is up and running use flash image gui.
before flashing new rom wipe everything in recovery 3 times yes 3TIMES this does two things removes all traces of old rom and even thought twrp or cwm tells you it wiped it still might of failed. im noob at this but found all these tricks spending many hours reading and reading and reading and reading well you get what im saying. if anyone with more knowledge then me sees something wrong with what ive said feel free to let me know.
If he is using a sense ROM 4.1.2 or newer WiFi will not work period no matter how or what you use to flash it is a widely known issue for hboot 1.14

PAC-Man ROM works very well for me. The only thing that is missing is wifi calling. But I can live without it. Lots of tweaks!

Unless you really know what you're doing, I wouldn't go downgrading your hboot. I think its more or less a one way street. But I've had no problems with the 2.15 version that came with the jb ota. I'm alternating between various sense and senseless ROMs (currently using the job Nonsense ROM, which is excellent) and have no WiFi issues. As I said to the Dev, no WiFi would be a deal breaker for me.

You may need to upgrade your phones wifi firmwares to work with some (all?) Sense ROMs. Sense ROM's take their wifi firmware from two partitions (18 & 19). However on higher hboot firmwares these partitions are not writable - like a bad joke flashing them will appear to work but won't.
I'm dreaming up a workaround that just might fix this. Trouble is, I cannot replicate the problem - I downgraded my hboot and flashed them and curse it now it's working! You cannot get yours to work and I cannot break mine Please can you tell me your baseband version. settings -> about -> software information -> more.
Good news is that CM10 based ROMs will work out of the box, wifi and radio firmware is baked in the ROM and installed in the filesystem of the phone - so it's easily changed shoud the need arise.
Sofar the only 4.1.1 sense ROM that is playing nice with hboot 1.14 is Virtuous Ville+ I use it on a Tmo USA One S and its flawless. WiFi works perfect.

Hi
I flashed the Android Sense Best Stock v.3.0 by BehradGH on my TMOU One S with Hboot 1.14 Rooted S-ON This rom rocks so I didn't want to have to get rid of it to get my wifi back...
I've been bummed out and going nuts reading every post from downgrading/upgrading Hboots... to installing linux and going through the process of locking/unlocking.. blah blah blah... I was freaking out!
UNTIL I came upon this post tonight buried deep in the forums... I am admittedly a semi-noob.. well I know just enough to get myself into trouble... and out again haha ... but the post had a link to a .zip file that you can copy onto your internal storage... boot into cwm recovery and simply flash it from there... reboot... and voila... Instant wifi connection! IT WORKS!!
No repartitioning... no flashing radios or anything else...iit takes 3 minutes!
the page is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2151142
The zip file is called "htc_on-s_wifi_fix.zip"
I was skeptical at first... but willing to try anything at this point to get my wifi working on this awesome rom... so i copied it onto my sd card, rebooted into recovery in CWM, ... flashed the zip file, ...rebooted the phone and voila! Instant "wifi It immediately started searching for ip address" (it never got that far before... just said connection problems) ... 2 seconds later it found my network and connected to my in a flash!
My phone is going crazy downloading updates at lightening speeds!! WOOT!!
My sincere apologies to the poster who actually wrote this little script for not being able to thank and acknowledge him for his work... I had like 10 windows open and i couldn't find it... but he is my new hero!!
it's 6:30am in Boston.. sun is coming up... I've been up for 4 days... 24/7 ... going out of my mind trying to fix this... I'm going to sleep for a few days... with my phone charging with the wifi on right next to my head on the pillow
