ICS ROM won't boot

I just try to flash ICS MIUI Rom, but I stay frozen on HTC logo.
is it a problem with Hboot version (I recently updated it to 7.00.1002)
Is there something else to update before to flash this ROM?
Thanks for your help

Did you S-Off your phone with HTC-Dev? If so then have you flashed you boot.img?

No, S-OFF has been done with Revolutionnary.

Hang on a minute. Which version of MIUI are you trying?
If you're trying the latest (.27) then it won't ever work - read the thread and you'll see that the build was bad. Run .13 and it is fine - I use it as my daily.

Try a different build! If it doesn't work report back!

Some ICS roms won't work correctly with the revolutionary HBOOT. Read some guides about how to upgrade your boot and try it, always understanding what are you doing to avoid a horrible brick. In my case it works with reingeniered Hboot that is relocked.

[Q] Radio update/downgrade with hboot 1.14

hi all
i recently bought an htc one S and bricked it of course on the first very few hours ("e:\cant mount sd" in recovery) ,
later on tried to repair with Tmobile RUU with-out success ,but i guess during this trial and error i have updated my hboot to 1.14
found a solution to mount the sd through a recovery and format it in windows and then re-partition it in the recovery
finally it was alive again ,and i installed TrickDroid v7
yesterday after updating to AOKP rom ,i had no wi-fi signal ,tried to search for a solution to update radio in order to resolve the issue ,
found a flashable file and flashed it in TWRP without success ,laer on i have found that it cant be done using hboot above 1.13
now i have read at cm9moddev website (sorry cant post links im new here ,google "update radio htc one s" 3rd result),and i quote:
"Although we do not have S-OFF yet, it is possible to update/downgrade the radio without using an official RUU......"
"....In some cases you may experience wifi issues. If this happens you have to update other firmware partitions. This should be done via official RUU/OTA and will (for now) not be covered here."
so ,can someone please help regarding the process of upgrading/downgrading the radio in order to fix wifi issues with custom roms

we can't. the only thing you can do is change to an AOKP rom that comes with radio build in it

I updated my HTC ONE S (S4) with this rom and the radio did not update.
I am using 1.14 hboot, trying to restore my wifi.

You can downgrade your HBOOT, use the downgrade thread stickied in the dev section

[Q] How to flash the latest radio?

Recently went back to stock 1.78 (from cm9) to try and get the latest OTA update, but it only gives me the 4.0.4 update.
Im currently on radio 0.16 but want to get the latest radio (1.11?) before putting a JB rom on.
Its been ages since ive done much with my phone since i was happy with cm9 but ive managed to get supercid and s-off so far. Now I understand the process to flash the radio, but I dont know where to find the latest radio. Can you simply take the radio.zip out of the latest OTA thats linked around here somewhere or is there more to it?
Hope that makes sense,
Thankyou.

On 1.06 or s-off this way. You should use TWRP recovery so.
The thing you'll see is called aroma installer. Just tag the radio you want and it'll be flashed. There is a sense and an AOSP/AOKP version of that installer.

There isn't a collection of radio's somewhere that you can permanently flash? Thought it'd be quite easy now with s-off.

The sense stuff will be written permanently to a partition on the phone.
The AOKP/AOSP radio will be flashed to a folder, as e.g. CM 10/10.1 and derivates load it from a folder. The radio needs to be reflashed only when flashing a new AOKP/AOSP rom (as that folder gets deleted). So it's 'temporarily'.
The aroma installer imho is the easiest way to flash a new/different radio. No need to carry around a machine with you to fastboot flash.

What's the most compatible radio version for Jelly Bean Sense ROMs?
I'm running TrickDroid 9.1.0 right now, since it was the only one that worked well with my HBOOT (1.14.0004) / Radio (1.08ts.50.02.16), but the wifi and GPS don't work.

Should be the 1.11 EU. But latest TMUS 1.13 is fine so.

I'm going to have to look up how to update the radio. Hopefully that will fix the Wifi glitch on my current ROM. I'd like to do a bit of tethering next week.

[Q] Problems with Viper Rom

Hello,
i'm having a lot of trouble with the viper made rom ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2667758). I'm new here, so i cannot post it there.
My problems began when i try to install the updates. I have installed the original rom version 3.0.0. i get the OTA message, but when i try to install it in recovery, the phone can't mount the sd card, and the installation doesn't continu. I tried to do it manually (using the download link i found in one of the posts) and that seemed to work.
Then i got another OTA notification, to upgrade to version 3.1.0, but when i tried to boot after the installation, i couldn't enter my sim pincode, and when i reboot, the phone keeps looping. I have to install the original rom twice (once with and one time without wiping) before the ROM boots normally.
What am i doing wrong?
i'm on Hboot 1.25 and radio:1.15.50.05.29
I'm S-on (RL)

It seems that viper made a fll rom, with the updates included.

Wrong Hboot?

I'm not sure but i think it starts with your Hboot, maybe one of the older members can verify, but according to the rom it requires Hboot version 2.15 or 2.16.
I am in the process of updating my Hboot by downloading and flashing the RUU as well as achieving S-OFF status

You need to update hboot first
2.15 is most compatible i suppose

Question. Is there a way for me to upgrade the hboot without the ruu wiping everything? Or will I just have to make a backup. I plan to go s-off before upgrading the hboot.

If you're S-OFF ist possible I think

No, you don't need to update the hboot. I am on 1.06 and Viper works fine...in fact any ROM works fine for me but that's another story. The updated firmware (2.13 or 2.15) is required only for Android 4.4.x KitKat due to a check present in the updater-script. There's no such check nor requirement for previous Android versions and Viper 3.x is based on Android 4.2.2
The problems first could come from not being S-Off...this makes impossible to flash the kernel from recovery so any OTA that has a kernel is not flashed properly. I remember that 3.1.0 has also a full ROM ZIP, maybe is good if you flash that one from recovery and flash the kernel after that in fastboot. Also it could matter the recovery you're using, I would recommend latest TWRP

In the viper rom forum post it says ROM firmware required hboot 2.15/2.16.. Am I to j just ignore tha? Or is it that it is only required that hboot (2.15/2.16) if you are s-on and s-off can do whatever you like? Lol

You need hboot 2.16 for Radio 1.20
And to Flash hboot 2.16 you will need S-OFF

Actually I'm on hboot 2.15 with Radio 1.20.XX
I know this doesn't help... just saying..
To contribute smth. To get the most out of the Viper 3 Rom, everyone should upgrade their Radio to 1.20.XX. And this is actually why you need to S-OFF.

Hboot

Hey guys I've looked around and I just can't seem to find what I'm looking for, does the hboot version matter? I am on 1.14, but the phone is still s-on , I would like to flash 4.4 roms but I wanted to know if I should ruu to the newer hboot and start from there.
Thanks

Most of roms are usable on 2.15 hboot and lower (which comes with last ruu), so why not give it a try with your actual hboot ?
I would say you to update your hboot but since it wipes sdcard it's quite annoying
What you can do is make a backup and then try the rom you want, if you notice any issue, restore your backup or update through latest ruu.
For some reasons you'll probably need to manually update the radio to 1.20 or 1.35 (I don't recommend this last one since I had random reboots with it), but you need to s-off. I you do, I advise you to use rumrunner.

If he's on 1.14 he can't flash a KK ROM unless he's not modifying the updater-script in the ROM zip. The check there gives an error if someone tries to flash a KK ROM on a hboot other than 2.13.0000, 2.13.4444 or 2.15.0000
