I'm having some trouble running the Reaper Rom. My phone is S-OFFed with revolutionary and using Hboot: 0.98.2000. I have been able to succesfully install the MIUI ICS ROM and CM7.
I have formatted and wiped everything from 4EXT recovery and then installed the latest Reaper 2.1. During the first boot it freezes at the ROM loading screen. After about 20 minutes it reboots and this time loads the ROM but then freezes again after about a minute. This then continues in a loop.
Has anyone else experienced similar problems and has any ideas about how I could fix this?
Thanks for any help.
Does this happen each time you clean instal it or just the once?
Possibly try to re-download it again in case you have bad download
Swyped from my Desire S using XDA Premium
I've tried installing it a few times and always the same problem. The MD5SUM value is correct for the download but is there still a chance it could be bad.
I also tried installing an earlier version Reaper 2.0 but had the same problem with that.
Could it be a specific incompatibilty between something on my phone and Reaper since the other ROMs I've tried all work OK?

No, your phone probably can't handle the default voltage settings. Search my posts on the reaper thread for a "stability patch" I posted for a early version. You're the third person with this problem.

Thanks for the advice, I'll try it tonight. Hopefully it will work since it seems like a graet ROM.
Thanks lowveld, the stability patch worked perfectly.
Hi all!
I was trying some kernels and the last one was Bricked 1.36 and ViperS 1.1.0 ROM, wifi and other things worked, but today morning i woke up and wifi says "turning on" for 1O minutes, so i restart it. Still turning on. So i reflasherd kernel. Still turning on. So i clear cache, wipe dalvik and fix perimissions. Still turning on.So i flashed whole ROM with kernel Bricked 1.4 and did full-wipe. Still turning in. So i flashed come CM ROM with their own kernel. Still turning on....After some time for try turn it on, it says something like "fault, Fail..."(i am using other language, than english)
My vacation starts just great...

Have you tried to restore the stock ROM?

Hi,
I believe THIS PATCH will restore your hboot to 1.27 and not "LOCKED"
Silly question,did you try rebooting your router?

router works, coz we are using several phones and notebook @home...
I am afraid the worse scenario...burned chip or motherboard.
Or maybe if i get back to S-ON, unroot and restore complete stock...?

Hi,
The other thing worth considering are the 2 gold pins inside the phone,just above the camera lens.
GENTLY lift them to make a better contact.

I have this problem too. I've been using ViperS 1.1.0 for a few weeks without any wifi problem. Yesterday, the wifi was working like normal then in the evening I flashed HyperNonsense 3.3 just to try it. Didn't like it, so I restored nandroid of my ViperS, then flashed yank555's faux123 kernel v2.52. I only realised wifi is not working today morning. It just shows "Turning On", but nothing happens. Could it be kernel issue? Previously i was using yank555 v1.9 without any issue thoguh.
i also have the same problem with the wi fi turning on for 10 mins then it shows error
mine came with the initial ics ota update a very common problem i see on the net not only wifi but bluue tooth also not work
i installed the latest ota a week or so ago which cured a few bugs but still no wifi or bluetooth
so.... i did jb s offf , root etc installed CM9 this fixed the blue tooth and made the screen move reactive and smooth this is one cool ROM BUT still no wifi
any and all suggestions welcome but please consider i am a noob http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/confused.gif and may need a few signposts
thanks in advance

I honestly don´t know, i thought, wifi is (almost)only kernel related, but now i see, that it is not :/ It is almost exactly my problem, i was using ViperS and changed kernel...but it didn´t suit me, so i restored the previous one...than i woke up and wifi is gone i cant solve it for now, i don´t have any freetime at this moment for making full stock condition.
i have tested stock rom with stock kernel, with some other HBOOT but still the same.

Your wifi stops working through an official update? You should claim it! it is not your fault...for me, everything works, except thing about wifi like tethering etc., thats a serious problem, even reflasing the whole phone (rom, radio, hboot, kernel) doesn't help :/
I had Xperia Arc before Sensation XE and reflash always helps, no matter what happens.

All I had to do was pull that file out from the directory and turn on wifi and *poof* it worked again. When I turned wifi on it created a new file and everything has been great so far this afternoon.
In case anyone wants to give it a shot who is having wifi issues you can find the wpa_supplicant.conf file in /data/misc/wifi/ directory on your phone. Simply cut/rename the file and put it somewhere else. If you have wifi passwords you want to save, you can open the original file using a text editor and copy the settings over to the new file.
I believe the cause of my issue was actually Titanium Backup. Looking at the last time it backed up my wifi settings was back when I wasn't running ICS yet. Yesterday I did restore an app using it and must have accidentally restored that old backup. Their formats are different from Gingerbread to ICS apparently and it was causing errors.
i found this on another post dont know if it will help but it could be the problem with the ota update from gb to ics
now the silly noob question how do you access the directory ????http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/icons/advanced/sign.png
i got into the directory but it doesnt seem to work in another thread someone got it to work with a virtuous rom
ill try that on thr weekend
enjoy your vacation
hmmm thats iteresting, but if you do full-wipe and flash some rom and kernel, these files are rewriten...but because i am curious i tried it and!!! it is not working for me :-/
And how to get into this directory?Simply... download dome file manager from Play Market(i lika Total Commander), but you can use whatever you like, set in options "root function everywhere" and allow superuser. than you can go in any directory and read/write/change

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..
Sent a from Jellyrolled One S
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

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
Hi, I was previously running Android 4.1.1 Venom XL ROM. I saw 4.2.2 Venom XL and decided to upgrade. The upgrade went smoothly, but I have two problems
GPS:
As soon as I reboot the phone everything works. After a few hours, suddenly the GPS will not work anymore. When you bring up programs that require GPS like Maps/Waze, it will not even look for satellites (no GPS icon shown). Once I reboot, things will be ok for a little while. I tried installing the GPS Status & Toolbox App and even when I open that App, it is the same behavior. It works after a reboot, but the GPS lookup does not happen after a few hours. It is big problem for me since I moved to a new state only 4 weeks back and have been highly dependent on the GPS to take me around. Anyone face this problem and have any suggestions? I tried the different options the GPS Status & Toolbox offered but none of them helped. Thanks for your help. Never had any issues with 4.1.1.
Weak signal:
I have seen suggestions of installing BeastMode Kernel or update the firmware to fix this problem and am yet to try this. Do I need to be S-OFF to install the kernel?
My HTC One X is rooted and I have supercid, but it is S-ON.
Thanks for any help in this regard.

No, you do not. The kernel solution is a good option, if you do not have S-off.
Although you should consider s-off, as its easy to do (especially if you already have adb set to go) and gives you more options for recovering (if you are SuperCID and S-on, a Jellybean RUU will brick you). As long as your understand that s-off means all security checks are off (and you therefore need to be careful of what you flash) s-off can be a very good thing to have.
Also, your GPS issue may be related to the signal issue, so kernel or 2.15 firmware fix might solve this as well as your weak signal issue.
Thanks. I did S-OFF, installed the new firmware, reflashed viper xl 4.2.2 rom and I am back in. So far so good. I hope GPS works ok. I was trying to download the latest 4.2.2 beastmode kernel form the following link:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/m53u563v2ql3818/beastmode_tester2.zip
posted on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45089267
Is this the official BeastMode kernel for 4.2.2? It says tester and that is why I ask. Also, I see no specific instructions of how to flash it. Is it just as easy as copy to sdcard and use recovery to flash? Can anyone please confirm?
EDIT: Found the updated link http://nosroms.com/?developer=Evita. But, if someone could still confirm the way to flash the kernel, that would be great.

crazy touchscreen problem
After flashing a ROM my touchscreen x axis seems to have inverted itself, so right is left on the screen.
This problem happens during the recovery screen also
I have tried changing recovery's,Kernals,flashed ROM's that I know work
I have even returned the phone back to stock nothing fixed it.
I have even went as far as removing the motherboard and installing one out of a working phone and guess what it does the same thing.
So i ask all you knowledgeable people WTF wold cause this and how can I fix it ?
these are the last two ROM's I was trying out when all this happened
they both ran without a problem I just didn't like them

This was my test phone I had flashed just about everything you can think of before I would install it on the phone I use every day
I guess my luck ran out
I ended up flashing the phone back to the original firmware and OS version using the factory RUU without a problem
If I try to install anything over 4.04 it goes right back to the same crap
I tried different firmware, kernels, roms with sense/ no sense doesn't matter.
the phone is being sold as I type this and I'm leaving my other two One S phones alone for now on
Nobody should have to go through this much bull for newer OS version so I'm saving for a Nexus 5
Thank you for the suggestion
