Hi all!
After ditching my Desire HD, I bought myself a HTC One S for its faster soc and better screen.
As I was used to having everything working on my former phone I'd expect this for the One S as well..
So far I've reached Unlocked bootloader, SuperCID and S-Off. Still on HBoot 2.15 though.
On PAC-man Rom at the moment and experience some Wifi problems as its not connecting to all wifi networks, yet some of m work.
Tried all sorts of radios from the Development forum, Sense version, Temporally version and CM version. None seem to take effect.
Tried some different Kernels as well, same outcome..
Tried ViperRom (with and without update) this morning and Wifi isnt able to switch on, even after different kernel and radios..
In short... is there a way to get all types of Wifi working on AOSP or Sense rom?
Is it neccessary to downgrade HBoot (as there is bricks reported)?
I'm on 2.15. S-off. Super cid. But I never had wifi problems. Have you tried the wi-fi fix on the radio thread?

I have not found a seperate file tot flash or push for wifi fix, so i presume it is incorporated in the aroma installable radios.
Wat ROM are you on?
OK. Here's what I've found out..
Since I'm really anonoyed by my phone not connecting to all types of Wifi I flashed an RUU.
I did this during SuperCID and S-OFF and just ran a .exe RUU.
First one I tried: RUU_Ville_U_HTC_Europe_1.09.401.1_R_Radio_0.14.3059.14_2_release_243825_signed.exe
It had no effect, booted up, yet Wifi was not fixed.
Next one I tried: RUU_Ville_U_HTC_Europe_1.53.401.2_Radio_0.15.31501S.19_10.12.31501S.06L_release_251412_signed.exe
And voila my Wifi worked.
On Hboot 1.06 now, flashed recovery and next PAC-Man ROM v20.0.0.
Now my Wifi again is selective like it was before.
I hope someone has an idea where to look as I simply don't understand what the problem is..
Tried the Temporary Radio V2 as well, no effect.
Anyone?
In the developer forum there is a radio thread with the WiFi fix.

Yes, as mentioned, I have tried the wifi fix, doesnt make a difference :s
Have you tried switching your hboot around?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38387544&postcount=148
Thanks for the hint.
However something I found out was that the new version of VenomROM V2.1 does give me full Wifi.
Unfortunately I don't realy like Sense Roms and rather have a different one.
I redownloaded PACman v20.0 and have tried all Hboot versions, none seem to make an improvement on Wifi capability.
Some work, some won't..
Going to try one or two Hboots with different Radio's from Temp Radio installer V2.
Anyone got an idea? Or perhaps a nice Hint again

So I got myself a Desire S.
Problem is, everytime I switch the WIFI toggle to ON, it would say
"Turning On..."
for a little bit, then It would say "Error", and everytime I try to toggle the BLUETOOTH to ON, it would say the same and just returns to "OFF" position.
Status of the phone before rooting and flashing:
"LOCKED"
SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT: 2.000.20
Radio: .....10.08.04_M
I tried flashing several ROMS including the Kernel(BOOT.IMG) via Fastboot;
Virtous Quattro RC3
Reaper V3
IceColdSandwich 7.5
CM7.1 NIGHTLY
also tried flashing to stock RUU with Radio and HBOOT versions;
Gingerbread 2.3.3 --> Europe and Asia Versions
Gingerbread 2.3.5 --> Europe, Asia, India Versions
Currently on Stock Gingerbread 2.3.5 Rooted through Superoneclick
Until now the issue persists. I'm wifi and bluetooth less.
I've tried searching Google, found some "USB-BRICK" topic on the DESIRE forum, didn't work.
Motorola forum, mentioned a reflash of the Radio.
HTCDesireSForum mentioned a reflash of HBOOT and Radio.
Here in XDA, it mentions that in flashing ROMS, on HBOOT 2.00.20 you have to flash BOOT.IMG from the zip file of the rom via Fastboot.
Tried and failed. I'm beginning to think this is a hardware issue.
Anyone with an idea why or to a solution?
nobody? I haven't found any solutions so far. I really hope someone could help or atleast point me in the right direction
Any updates on your issue?
Have you tried bringing it in to service centers? It looks like a hardware problem.
your issue should just revolve around changing hboot, radio and rom.. I cant think of anything that could affect those hardware..

unfortunately no. I didn't give it anymore thought since I'm using it only for camera and music.
Have you tried the latest radio.. I think its worth a try..
Flash hboot of your choice and the latest radio and stable Rom choice.
I really don't think these hardware break that easily..

I'm not sure about the bluetooth, but I may have a fix for the WiFi.
I have a One S and I started getting the same error when I tried to turn on the WiFi. It turned out that my wpa_supplicant.conf file became corrupt somehow. I just deleted /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf and it fixed the problem.
Wifi problem
Dear XDA!
I'm a new member in here. I downloaded softwers from here.It's working correctly. Yesterday I upload the Fallout 4.3 software then the wifi connection is failed. I try another software Nik Project X and the problem was the same.

Open your own thread. Don't jump on the end of someone else's thread unless you are contributing or you have exactly the same issue - which you don't.
Hello all,
I've a problem with wifi in my Desire S and actually I don't know if it's software or hardware related. The problem:
Wifi switch is On, but no network scans at all, sometimes networks appear, but just for two, three seconds, and then no networks again. The process is: I turn wifi switch on, messages of: Turning wifi on, scanning..., on, disconnected, no networks available.
Wifi hotspot don't work either. Everything else is working perfectly

HTC-Dev unlock, then S-OFF.
Current ROM: Fallout Evolution V5.0.0 ROM
Kernel: TWEAKED VERSION 6.0 - for Sense 4
H-Boot: 7.00.1002 | Reengineered 2.00.002
Radio: 20.76.30.0835U_3831.19.00.110
Kernel & radio flashed through fastboot flash, hboot, firmware in bootloader with PG88IMG
Tried almost everything, from wipe all three and four times, reinstall everything, to remove revolutionary and get stock HTC RUU again, neither of them worked.
Might be a rom problem, go ask the dev of the rom that you are using. Check the "bugs" list.
If problem persists, i suggest to ruu. Properly. If it is still doesnt work, then its a hardware problem.

Thanks, then it's probably a hardware problem, because I tried RUU and different roms.
If you're on latest fallout version you should use the fallout kernel that comes with the ROM.
I'm on a very similar setup and have no issues, not that that helps you.
To completely rule out the ROM then I'd suggest
take a backup
Full wipe
Install different stock based ROM and associated kernel
Re test
Sywepd form my DsereiS
could it not be a radio problem? when I had that radio I got a big battery drain. Not that that is the same as your symptoms, but it might show that this radio does not seem to work very well for every device or setup. Maybe try ur old radio just to rule it out?
Alright guys so im on HBOOT 1.14 tried several roms all cant connect to wifi, I tried flashing the partions with no luck. I want to know what you other guys have done to fix this issues.

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.

Downgrade your hboot man worked like a charm. If you need any help with the process just lmk

Quick question:
I've been having wifi issues which I've searched for the solution, but haven't found it. I don't want to downgrade hboot because I see my limitations laying in there somewhere and don't want to mess everything up. Wifi is the the only issue I'm having.
I flashed the Fusion Ultimate v.4 kernel hoping it would help, but it hasn't, although my phone seems to run faster and smoother.
So I'm wondering... will a kernel even really help a wifi issue and, if so, is there one better suited than the Fusion Ultimate?
My phone:
HTC One S (S4) S-On
hboot: 1.14
kernel flashed via Flash Image GIU
It seems many have wifi issues with custom roms and hboot 1.14. Kernels doesnt help.
The only solution Ive seen around the forum is, downgrading the hboot.
In terms of kernel, you are one of the lucky ones who managed to get v4 to boot, welcome to the club Theres a giant bug somewhere in it which causes it to not boot for the majority of the users.
You could try Fusion v3.1 instead - but I doubt that will help your issue.
Surprisingly, it seems to have worked. At least, I assume it did since I made no other changes tonight and Wi-Fi is working. Even when I leave the house, it connects when I get back. Whatever happened, I hope it keeps up.
Thanks for the reply.

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.
Wipe cache/dalvik and flash kernel via recovery.

Thanks. All set now. Looks like my GPS is working great :victory:
I hope that my the kernel does its thing and no signal drops.
Thanks for the help.
