WiFi error's after flashing HTC unlock bootloader

Boy oh boy, I had a really tough few days trying to flash a custom rom. I was pretty heavy into flashing roms from the G1 days until I got my sensation on the day it was released. I then took a long break. Well 2 days ago I decided to Unlock my Bootloader through the HTC website. Everything went well. I did notice the ******UNLOCKED****** in the bootloader I also noticed the S-ON(security was still on). I didn't think this mattered. Was I ever wrong. With that S-On you cannot flash new radio's. I have never been able to flash a PG58IMG.zip file from hboot/fastboot. I can however flash recovery's from fastboot using (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img).
Seems as if every single rom I tried needs the Security-OFF to work correctly. I was able to put clockwork mod 5.0 on my phone, and install super wipe, and several roms, the problem I ran into is I would get a error under the switch for wifi. Wifi would not work on any of the 5 roms I tried before this one. I was wanting to give up and go back to stock for several hours. I tried the RUU to bring me back to build 1.27 and build 1.29 both were unsuccessful. I was stuck at build 1.73.401.2 and no way possible to get back to stock. And picture this living in a area with tmobile that is still using the edge network(2 ****ing g) OMFG I was so mad trying to even boot a new rom without wifi is a nightmare, took me literally 20 minutes to download rom manager. Anyway's this rom was the last one I tried before busting my phone into pieces.
Rom's I tried:
1. Android Revolution 3.6.1, and 4.1 (3.6.1 booted but had no wifi)
2. RCMix 3.5 v04 (bootloop)
3. LeeDroid booted fine (no wifi)
4. I believe there was one other I tried. NO GO
5. Then I flashed this one late last night, and to my surprised it worked.
I was so happy I almost pissed myself.
Oh yeah I tried many irc channels, one was the revolutionary.io irc channel, I was able to successfully run the rev.io tool and it showed as a success however my S-was still ON. I talked to these guys for about 45 minutes looking for other ideas. They pretty much told me I was screwed and that it had never been tested after you unlocked through HTC. And it simply might never work.
Anyway I guess what I am getting at. For anyone else that might have to go through what I did.
1. How in the world can you get you phone back to complete stock?
2. Why is this happening?
3. Why is my wifi not working with any other rom? And everyone else's is?
4. How do I go about getting my S-OFF?
5. Does anyone know if you can RELOCK your bootloader through HTC so that I can turn the SECURITY-OFF and "then" unlock the bootloader.
I probably have more question's. I just wanted to see if I might be able to get a few answers from you fine people. Help me understand what in the world is going on and how many other people are dealing with what I am dealing with.

Personally i would just do the normal s-off method as it gives you a little more freedom compared to HTC unlocking method.
My wifi is dead too, but i have no way of fixing it at all, i've got a thread called "wifi is dead" in the q+a section of the sensation forum.
Let me know if you get yours working, i imagine that if you revert your phone back to stock again and then use the alpha rev method that you will have better luck.

1. You can Relock your bootloader using HTC site but this time u will see Relocked instead of Locked
2. No idea
3. Did you try resetting your router? Works for me. Also try flashing a different radio.
4. No idea
5. You can relock bootloader on HTC site but have no idea of you can unlock it with Revolutionary again.

Try write secureflag command, just search for.the correct one on xda. Also, try flashing your RUU and then s-offing via revo.

[Q] HELP sensation flashed ROM wont start

Hello, first I would like to apologize as I am clearly a noob and have very little idea of what I am talking about.
I'm sure my problem has been asked before and that if I had any idea what the problem was, I could find the exact solution I need here on the forums. Unfortunately I don't even know what to search for. If any one would like to complain go ahead but please..just help me.
So I decided to root my HTC Sensation, which I believe I did without any problem, I followed the guide on this site. Nothing went wrong and as far as I was aware everything was working fine.
I then decided to flash a new ROM onto the phone. I chose the Android Revolution HD as this looked to be the popular choice. I got it from here and I believed I had followed the instructions on how to install it properly.
However, after installing the ROM I came upon a problem, the phone would not start, it would just go to the HTC boot screen and stay there forever. At first I couldn't even get back to the hboot screen, but after inserting a new and better charged battery I was able to get there, but every time I do it attempts to update and says " CID incorrect! Update Fail! Press <POWER> to reboot." and I cant do anything but get stuck in this continuous loop.
If I take the SD card out I can access the HBOOT properly, however trying to do a recovery at this point doesn't seem to work.
I have no idea what to do and would appreciate any help anyone can give me. I would be happy to just have my phone back to the way it was originally.
Thanks

Might wanna try a RUU? not sure but hopefully it should do..
Sent from my HTC-Z710a using xda premium

First off your MAJOR issue is that you flashed a rom for the Desire HD section(As soon as I clicked on your link, it said Android Revolution 7.0.2... I was like wtf? There is no 7.0.2 on the sensation forum) ... I think that's the prob... for now! Flash the correct rom and stay in the right section!
Second, I don't see why you can't get into recovery. Remove your sd card, power on the phone by holding vol-down +power to get to bootloader, select recovery and flash the right rom. I would also recommend that you delete the P58IMG.zip off your sd card as well. I'm assuming you have it on there for the ICS firmware but flashed the incorrect rom. You are far from bricking it, but keep this up and it might turn into one!

Thanks, your post is certainly reasuring though I am still not sure how to continue. Also it is possible I gave the wrong link to the rom I used, though it definitely was the same name.
Anyway what Im thinking I have to do now is 1st delete p58img.zip file from my SDcard and put the right rom on there, could you link to one?
So by removing that file I should be able to access the SDcard again and flash the new rom?

Here's the right link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849
This is an ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich) Rom
So you need:
1) SuperCID (so that you can flash any firmware)
Instructions
2) Flash the ICS firmware (otherwise you can't use the ICS roms)
http://goo.gl/RcbMy (and make SURE that there aren't any errors - errors such as not doing the SuperCID process correctly, therefore it can't flash - I say this because it seems like many users think the firmware is flashed and then find out their rom won't start, so don't be stupid and check whether or not an error has occurred just incase!)
3) Pick a rom
Revolution
Elegancia
Insert Coin
4) Flash the 4EXT recovery, I'm sure you already have clockwork mod on there but I think that's a bit buggier... so if I were you, I'd go for the 4EXT touch recovery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377759
5) If you wish, you can also flash for example: tweaks and addons by awsm devs which make our phone much better if you wish!
6) you're good to go! It's that easy.
Yeah, all you have to do is remove that P58IMG.zip from your sd card and your bootloader won't force you to update or w/e. You'll be fine.

And don't forget to md5 check for roms you download !

Thank you very much. It seems I hadn't performed the SuperCID part. Once I had done that I installed Elegancia and it is working perfectly.
Thanks again for your help, I really appreciate you taking the time to explain that to me.

Thanks i have read that post but i am just unsure into best solution.
I updated to ICS over the air through vodafone so i didnt have my phone rooted. I then came across the wifi and bluetooth problem so i thought i would unlock using HTCDEV method.
My phone is now unlocked but im unsure what to next!
My aim is to fix the wifi problem so what do i do.........
* UN UNLOCK MY PHONE THROUGH HTCDEV SO LOCKING IT BACK UP(IF THIS IS POSSIBLE) AND WAIT FOR A RELEASE THROUGH THE BETTER ROOTING METHODS FOR 1.27.0000
* PLACE A ROM ON MY UNLOCKED PHONE SO I REMOVE WIFI PROBLEM?
ANY OTHER OPTIONS.
I AM COMPLETLY NEW TO THIS BUT FAST LEARNER.
THANKS

You are not able to put another rom on you phone, as HTCdev dosent give you a complete S-off. You can however root it and put either Ext4 or Clockwork on it, and then root it.
Htc has allready put a patch out for the wifi problems, this you should get via OTA update.
For proper S-off, so that you are able to install custom roms you will have to wait untill Juopunutbear is released.

there is a new update 15mb one released by HTC itself to solve wifi issues and all..so we'll first try that or then we'll go with custom recovery method
here is the link where the update was available
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24841388&postcount=65588
its a flashable zip..so for that a custom recovery is required
have you got any custom recovery on your phone now?
(you can check it by going to boot loader(HBOOT) by pressing power + volume down button after switching off the phone)
you'll get a white screen which is HBOOT
and then choose recovery by using volume up/down buttons then press power
(just like enter) if there is an exclamatory mark with inverted triangle then you got stock recovery then you need to temporarily boot through custom recovery
first download the zip file to the root of the sd card
then
1.follow the steps from this guide to setup adb/fastboot
guide to install adb/fastboot
2.once that is setup get the recovery.img from 4EXT thread here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377759
try to get the smart flash on one...which is the one for you
3. then follow the steps from this sub heading "[ Update ] Alternative Method to Flash Boot.img for Custom Roms" (ignore the last 3 steps in the sub heading)
which is present in the earlier thread ive provided
4.flash the zip file that you've downloaded and kept in sdcard
using recovery

Hopefully the patch helped with your wifiproblem. However, if you want to go further you can install another rom, as long as it complies with the firmware, that you cannot change.
If you want to go further, you can take a look at this ( my post at the page)

WiFi Error and Custom Roms
•S-OFF devices will not have that WiFi error . the following is for members who used htc dev to unlock bootloader instead of doing Revolutionary S-OFF .
•Unlock Bootloader using htc dev Unlock Method ( may or could void your warranty ) or Super tool ( if it is legal to use it ) and ( use htc drivers v3.0.0.7 )
•you can use a Custom Rom that uses a Custom Kernel ,and solve WiFi error ( while you still on htc dev unlock method , i.e NOT S-OFF ) by installing the Boot.img ( includes custom kernel ) bootloader
•if the Custom rom uses the Exact same version of htc Stock Kernel ,you will not have WiFi Error
•Wifi error is usually happens because of the kernel ( in your case it is because of kernel mismatch )
•in htc Method the Boot.img is still locked , Note that the Boot.img includes the Kernel
•the kernel is located inside Boot.img , and Also the kernel components ( when you install a rom ) are located in System \ lib \ modules . the Module Folder is a Kernel Folder . if there is a mismatch between kernel and kernel components you will have WiFi error
•a sample case , the Boot.img is still the htc stock Boot.img ( i.e it includes the stock htc Kernel ) , and you installed a custom Rom that includes a custom Kernel
•When the Custom rom is being installed it will not be able to replace htc Stock Boot.img ( i.e the Stock Kernel , because it is locked ) , But will be able to install kernel components System \ lib \ modules ( because it is Unlocked ) , and Here comes the kernel mismatch and the WiFi Error ( the Kernel is still the htc stock kernel , and the Kernel components are for a different custom Kernel )
I think this is what i need to do to get my wifi working again.
Only thing is i havent a clue where to start. I have unlocked through htcdev but that is as far as i have got.
were do i find the custom roms with the kernals needed to fix my wifi problem.
Please any step by step info into how to do all this and were to get downloads from would me much appreciated.

Please somebody could you tell me what to install and where to install it, these step by steps are confusing me!!!!!

[Q] Inspire wifi problem

Hy guys, i have a huge problem, i got this phone from a friend and it is unlocked.... but there is a problem, my wifi is not working, i live in romania(eu) i have service, hotspot somewhat works ( after updating it asks me to get in touch with at&t) but when i turn on the wifi it keeps searching but cant find a signal .... tried soft hard reset nothing the antenna works .... i heard that rooting it might help but i dont know how to root and dont want to brick the phone .... sooo i dont know what to do but i really like the phone and would want to keep it, but no wifi is a bad thing ... what can i do to get the wifi to work?

update
Rooted and got rid of that crappy AT&T garbage .. but no wifi .... Hot spot works but it doesn't find a signal even when placed ON the router.... i was wondering if these monkeys from AT&T did an antenna replacement so that it can only pick up their hot spots ... Is it possible ?

You can try flashing a custom ROM and see if that helps. Android Revolution HD in the Desire HD forums is a good stock-like one. Or you could try to get S-Off and flash another radio.

I flashed Android revolution HD 9.0 on it and nothing happened... as i heard s off is a bit tricky .. and i dont know how to do it ... but maybe will try it but im scared that i might brick the phone ... aaand i dont want that

ok if someone knows a good and an easy way to S-OFF i would appreciate it so much... im kinda desperate..
im s-on with hboot 2.00.00300 and radio 26.17.14.11_M

When you flash a ROM with s-on, you need to take an extra step and flash the boot.img file contained in the rom.
So your correct procedure would be,
unzip the rom and copy the boot.img file inside there to your adb/flashboot folder.
flash your zipped rom with the command:
fastboot flash zip {name_of_your_ROM}.zip
3:flash the boot.img file you extracted with the command
fastboot flash boot boot.img
then reboot.
IF your radio is the problem, you will need to get s-off to fix your problem since I'm not sure you can flash a radio without getting s-off but hopefully someone with more experience can confirm that. I remember the ARHD dev recommended flashing a specific radio for their rom but I never could get it to flash and I am s-off so I run SVHD rom and it worked fine.
If you do decide you want to get s-off, there are a couple things you need to know:
None of the currently available hack kits work if your software build version is 3.20.502.52 , which you can check in the phone stats or with the command "fastboot getvar all" , you want to look at the version-main variable. You can still s-off (my phone has this mainversion) but there are a couple extra steps involved.
Also, rooting a phone with a defective emmc chip will brick it. You can check your emmc version with adb commands in order:
adb shell
su (if you are using a windows version of adb)
cat /proc/kmsg | grep 'mmc0:0001'
what you want to see is SEM04G, if you see M4G2DE, you should NOT root your phone or use clockworkmod recovery.

Sunshine s-off, but can't get Superuser SU Binaries installed.....

I just got S-Off with Sun Shine, but can't seem to get SuperuserSU working (I was going to install TWRP from TWRP Manager after getting SuperuserSU.) Anyone know what I need to do? I looked for a thread that explained the process, but have not found anything. Many thanks!

Flash twrp from fastboot. Flash SuperSU from twrp.

I am trying to flash TWRP with Minimal ADB and Fastboot from here..... http://androidmtk.com/download-minimal-adb-and-fastboot-tool
I keep getting this for messages when I type the command flash twrp.img "cannot load 'twrp.img'
I know that the device is connected since it goes into fastboot when I type "adb reboot bootloader".
Any ideas?

Solved......I am a complete fool. I renamed the recovery image "twrp.img" so the actual file was "twrp.img.img". How embarrassing.....LOL! Time to just go and hit the bar and have a beer! I must have cabin fever after this winter and my mind is not functioning properly. ARGH!

I apologize in advance as I'm sure this has been asked toomany times to count, but I have searched and searched thread after thread to see if I can find a solution for about 23 hrs straight, I'm pretty much out of time & panicking now that I messed up beyond fixing. Any advice, help, or a point in the right direction to the right post would be very much appreciated!!!
So, the problem is, I'm not 100% sure but I think I have "soft bricked" my phone... I gained s-off through Sunshine about a week ago, I have been reading & researching how to root my phone for updating to a custom ROM running 6.0 MM for months now trying to prevent any issues & be as well educated as possible...
Last night I finally gained root access using Kingroot, then switching over superSU BUT of course, I had the problem with the binaries. I installed TWRP app to perform the recovery flash to ext SD because I do have a PC, but it's a work computer so I don't have administrator rights to install any programs/apps on the PC such as ADB, Flashify, etc.
Before I decided to restart my phone I had SuperSU running the # sign in the notifications center (re: the binaries), I also had the TWRP manager I chose my device model, but I did not install any files (at least I don't think I did). I was most concerned on my current backup & flashing that to my extSD. Which is what I thought I had done, or maybe I didn't do anything at all? BTW- I have removed the SD card & inserted into my PC to see what files were on it, and nothing!! Nothing at all to do with SuperSU nor TWRP (I have since installed the latest update SuperSU zip file on that card). All I know is I cannot get my phone on past the Verizon screen, I can perform a hard boot & get back into hboot /fastboot, I have all options on the menu, and have tried every one of them minus the 'factory data reset', 'apply from phone storage' or 'ramdump'. I would have typed in the information that the screen says in HBOOT but my phone literally just died from the screen being on so long :-/ I will add that info if needed once I can boot it back up without use of the charging cable.
Any help on what to do would be so greatly appreciated as apparently I'm freaking out & I'm thinking I'm way in over my head not knowing what exactly happened to cause this!!! Please Help:crying:

So, the problem is, I'm not 100% sure but I think I have "soft bricked" my phone... I gained s-off through Sunshine about a week ago, I have been reading & researching how to root my phone for updating to a custom ROM running 6.0 MM for months now trying to prevent any issues & be as well educated as possible...
Last night I finally gained root access using Kingroot, then switching over superSU BUT of course, I had the problem with the binaries. I installed TWRP app to perform the recovery flash to ext SD because I do have a PC, but it's a work computer so I don't have administrator rights to install any programs/apps on the PC such as ADB, Flashify, etc.
Before I decided to restart my phone I had SuperSU running the # sign in the notifications center (re: the binaries), I also had the TWRP manager I chose my device model, but I did not install any files (at least I don't think I did). I was most concerned on my current backup & flashing that to my extSD. Which is what I thought I had done, or maybe I didn't do anything at all? BTW- I have removed the SD card & inserted into my PC to see what files were on it, and nothing!! Nothing at all to do with SuperSU nor TWRP (I have since installed the latest update SuperSU zip file on that card). All I know is I cannot get my phone on past the Verizon screen, I can perform a hard boot & get back into hboot /fastboot, I have all options on the menu, and have tried every one of them minus the 'factory data reset', 'apply from phone storage' or 'ramdump'. I would have typed in the information that the screen says in HBOOT but my phone literally just died from the screen being on so long :-/ I will add that info if needed once I can boot it back up without use of the charging cable.
Any help on what to do would be so greatly appreciated as apparently I'm freaking out & I'm thinking I'm way in over my head not knowing what exactly happened to cause this!!! Please Help:crying:

You are fine. Start fixing it by flashing the latest s-on ruu I have posted. This will NOT affect your s-off or unlocked boot loader status. Then when done flash twrp via fastboot. (Never use that stinking app). Then flash supersu zip in twrp to root your stock rom. If you have fast internet I can always you using team viewer (free app)

I'm still having trouble...

First,I appreciate you getting back tome so soon. I downloaded the latest RUU onto my SD card, then reloaded it into my phone in bootloader, nothing happened
Right now, I still cannot get past the red Verizon screen, my phone won't turn on fully... The options I have are my "Administrator PW protected work PC" that I cannot run fastboot on, or my Nextbook tablet. Would Team View work on either of these since my phone is out of the question?
Rightnow this is what my HBOOT screen is saying....

If nothing ran you have the file either named wrong or have an extra .zip on the end of the name. Make sure you view file extensions to be sure. It's case sensitive and 0P6BIMG.zip
Leading character is a zero.

First part COMPLETE!

Okay, I have hope. Thank You SO MUCH!!! Phone is on (upgrading currently), but IT'S ON:highfive: I think I accidentally used the s-off file instead of the s-on, and I did add the .zip onto that file (since it wasn't showing it w/ it, DUHHH). I will follow the rest of your instruction's very carefully later on, this will take a while, on app 80 out of 279 (bloatware, ugh!!) Hopefully, it goes more smoothly & I won't have to bother you again :fingers-crossed:
Thanks Again!
P.S. Will be contributing ASAP once I get this mess cleaned up. I really do appreciate all of your hard work & the magic that you make happen!!

Well if you used the s-off one that's fine too. You will be rooted already. Just need to flash the latest twrp image and you will be fine.
