Broken WiFi / Bluetooth / Roms won't boot. - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Hi, I've searched for an answer to this but I can't find it. My fiance's one xl is seriously playing up. Some background: it's on hboot 1.09 and s-on. She's been using Viper since we rooted it.
A couple months back (possibly after moving to JB) her Wi-Fi was unable to find networks, or when it could find them it was unable to connect to networks. Ok so she dealt with that. Recently I thought I'd flash a different ROM to see if it would make a difference, so we flashed a recent version of AOKP (build 4). This booted fine but the WiFi just kept saying it was turning on but never actually turned on. So we thought we'd flash back to Viper. Full wipes were done while moving between ROMs by the way. Anyway viper just constantly bootloops no matter what we try now, so we can't use that. So we flashed back to AOKP and now neither Wi-Fi or Bluetooth work. Bluetooth at least turns on sometimes but it can't find other devices and other devices can't find it.
So yeah, no viper, no Bluetooth, no Wi-Fi, very frustrated fiance!
I've been reading the last couple days and just can't find what's wrong, does anyone have any idea? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like hboot 1.14? Did you use flash gui or adb to flash the viper boot image?

On ViperXL, boot.img should flash in AROMA, even with hboot 1.14. Although it doesn't always work, so if it bootloops, then OP should flash boot.img using fastboot or Flash Image GUI.
Agree, sounds like it can be a ROM-kernel mismatch.

That's what happened to me when I flashed to the new CM to take it for a test drive. When I flashed back to Viper I went straight to bootloop. Forgot to flash the boot image. Aroma usually works for me but it has problems when going from aokp to sense.

I'm pretty sure it's not 1.14, it was one of the earliest models released way back nearly a year ago.
Any ideas on the Wi-Fi / Bluetooth situation guys?

Ok I can confirm its definitely on hboot 1.09

I'd try dirty flash the rom.zip for the booted ROM a couple times in recovery, to see if something isn't sticking right. I've had that happen on a couple kernel changes in CM.

I'll try that. I've managed to get her Bluetooth working by flashing King Kang ROM. Now it's just the Wi-Fi that won't work, but I'll try that thanks for the suggestion, I'll report back.

I am also facing the same problems my wifi , Bluetooth and mobile network are not turning on... i have tried all, factory reset, ruu flashing, new custom rom flashing , kernel flashing... please help:crying:

Ok so now Bluetooth is working fine and Wi-Fi turns on but it can't detect any networks. Basically all I did was another full wipe and flashed King Kang. Does anybody have any ideas on how to get the Wi-Fi working properly please?

Wow so I've done pretty much everything I can to get this phone working ok. S-off, RUU: phone still bootloops when booting Sense ROMs, even the RUU bootlooped. Sometimes it makes it into the ROM after several loops but it just crashes and starts all over again. Phone boots aosp ROMs perfectly fine, but WiFi and Bluetooth don't work still. I'm at a complete loss.

sounds like a hardware issue to me.

Yeah it sure does. What's got me stumped is the fact that it boots aosp fine and runs fine apart from Bluetooth and WiFi. But sense ROMs loop like crazy, but sometimes boot into the OS before looping again. Eh I dunno.

Hey Exad, I wonder if this might be a kernel issue. We tried booting the latest CM10.1 and it's having the same boot problems. So maybe it's a 3.4 kernel issue, what are your thoughts?
Sent from my EVITA using xda premium

Its unlikely.. you're on the latest hboot right?
I mean.. If it was an issue with the 3.4 kernel, I imagine issues would be way more widespread.
It would be possible to have issues with a 3.4 kernel on an older hboot.. but otherwise I just don't see how.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

Yeah we RUU'd her phone to 3.18 so it's fully up to date. The thing that made me think kernel/boot.img was that every non 3.4 aosp ROM runs ok, apart from Bluetooth and WiFi. Which I guess is a hardware issue.
I thought maybe there's something within 3.4 kernel that won't let the phone operate properly with that specific hardware problem. But something within <3.4 kernels that lets the phone operate, just without Bluetooth and WiFi working.

Yes, THAT theory is possible though no software will have things running 100%. I'm sure you knew that already.

Can't get to recovery.

So I was going to switch roms on the fly and use flash image gui and found the rom, selected recovery img, and flashed. Success, so i rebooted to recovery. Weird part is, it took me to bootloader. Thinking I hit the wrong thing I moved to recovery and it sends me to fastboot. I assume I did something wrong and have to flash twrp again?

Depends on the Rom. A lot of them you just download Rom to sd card then intall through twrp. No img fastboot needed on a lot of roms when using twrp. What img are u trying to flash?

[Q] Wifi not working on 4.2.2 Roms

I am having trouble connecting to Wifi since I've started using 4.2.2 roms. There was no trouble when I was using a 4.2.1 rom. My wifi switch will not move to on. When you click it, it says turning on wifi but nothing happens.
I am currently using [Official PACman All-in-1-ROM Ver. 22.0.1[4-3-13] .
I have Hboot 1.14, S-On. Do I need to have S-Off to connect to Wifi?
Thanks
Anybody have an idea of what's wrong? I'm running Rohan's test kernel C
I'm not sure how to fix it, my fiance's phone has the same problem. I can tell you that having s-off won't fix it though, that merely turns security checks off, it's completely unrelated.

You have to flash boot.img through fast boot
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
You probably need to update your firmware to JB. There is a conflict between ICS firmware and the JB base that can cause your wifi to go haywire.
You do need to be s-off first, however, or you may get a brick running the RUU.

Run the 3.17 (non-US) or 3.18 RUU (AT&T), depending on what phone you've got. You need to be s-off first or you may brick if you are supercid. You'll lose root, but getting it back is just a matter of pushing custom recovery back on and flashing superuser. You'll also need to downgrade your touchscreen firmware to use an AOSP rom; there's a thread in the Original Development forum on how to do it.
I'm not guaranteeing this will solve the problem, but I was having similar issues and this solved it.

i figured out getting s-off. so after i run the 3.18RUU, do i have to use the following root method?http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2285086? Sorry if I'm asking so many questions, just a little confused.
No. You can just flash recovery after ruu. Then either flash a rom or flash superuser if you want to stay stock rooted.
Sent from my One X using xda app-developers app
Correct, once you're s-off, you can never permanently lose root. No need for any exploits as you'll always have the ability to push a custom recovery back on and flash what you like.

[Kernel] Elementalx issues

If anyone is having trouble with the later versions of elementalx I have found that v5.4 has no issues. I don't know what the problem is but anything above that has not worked for me on any sense based ROM. I am on 1.09 hboot and s-on. Currently I am running the miui v5 3.5.3 as my daily driver despite the MMS problem, soon to be fixed on the next update, hopefully

I have never been able to flash any elemental kernel. I've tried every one, on multiple roms, tried messing with all of the settings...each time the phone starts rebooting itself within a few minutes of boot. I must just have some strange hardware. Bulletproof kernels work great.

The bulletproof kernels are a solid choice.
I also remember 5.4 as being a particularly stable release.

I was on 5.4 for about 2 months and then recently upgraded to 6.6 and no problems to speak of.
What do you mean 'does not work for you'? What happens when you install it? I'm assuming you are flashing the boot.img since you are S-On.
I've tried both 6.6 and 6.7 and haven't had any issues.

The problem I'm having is I get a popup message constantly(android.process.com has stopped). As far as know I don't need to flash a boot.img considering I'm on hboot 1.09. Never had this with any other kernel whether it be aosp or sense based.

This only happens on later versions of elemental x? If you flash back to 5.4 does the process stop force closing?
Also, check the message...ls it com.android.process.acore or com.android.process.phone?

Yes flashing back to 5.4 fixes the fc issues. Sorry for the confusion on the message. I've been working long hours lately. It is the second one mentioned above. Is it possible that even though I'm on the earlier hboot that i still need to be s-off because of the newer versions of kernels? Thanks for your time looking in to this issue.
S-off would make no difference with kernels. It would make more sense for your hboot version is causing it. Hard to say for sure without testing though. You did check md5 prior to flashing right?

So far I have what I have done is to clear the cache uninstall the program entirely then reinstalled it the only other option is to reinstall the entire ROM is far as I can tell. Which brings me to my next question how do I go back to AT&T stock? The reason I ask is ever since I've switched roms everything just is screwing up and with the stock AT&T rom things actually worked.

Most likely you're using twrp between 2.4 and 2.5 only 2.3.3.1 and under and 2.6 wiper properly and you probably never fastboot erase cache after installing a new recovery.
In any case to go stock, s-off then Ruu.
Sent from my One X using xda app-developers app
I believe you're right my TWRP is 2.5.0.0. About the cache after installing the ROM I am a little unfamiliar with. I already have the bootloader unlocked and I have s-off so I guess it's just a matter of using the AT&T ruu? Will that conflict with the custom kernel and TWRP?
Edit: typos. also I was having a little bit of difficulty understanding what your saying in your previous post about the versions. which version should I have installed?
Sent from my AT&T HTC One X Evita S-Off running CyanogenMod 10
2.6 is now stable but previously all versions above 2.3.3.1 would not wipe properly causing issues.
Whenever you flash recovery it is advisable to do fastboot erase cache after. Not always necessary but it takes a few seconds and can save you loads of issues.
Yes an Ruu will work so long as you are s-off. If you're not s-off you'll brick.

This past weekend I upgraded the recovery and I reinstalled CyanogenMod 10 and tested the GPS this morning and it doesn't seem to have been fixed. Could there just be some sort of incompatibility with the newer version of maps because it was working on an older version of maps?

Edit 2: Also the RUU doesn't seem to work either.
Edit 3: After changing ROMs to Viper XL the GPS started working fine. So I believe that CyanogenMod 10 has some sort of compatibility issue with the latest version of Google Maps.

If you have no sound after an RUU you must likely have a hardware problem and will need it to be physically repaired.

Yeah and the logcat will reflect the hardware failure. I don't know about you but I had also lost audio on phone calls. So I had to get a new phone. For what it's worth it worked a little better on kitkat but that means it would work for about 20mins before crapping out as opposed to 10.
