Use a ruu.exe to return to stock
If after ruu installation the issue persists then probably you are dealing with a hardware issue

For some reason, whenever I turn on my wifi, it says unable to scan wifi, then the wifi turns off. That was on stock, and I read about a fix for rooted users, where you delete the wifi configuration file, as it could become corrupted, so I rooted and did what it said, but still no luck. Any help would be appreciated.

Are you sure this isn't a radio issue?
yes I have tried almost everything, like flashing custom roms or stock ruu almost everyday with different variations. flashing kernels, tweeks, so on and so on.
It works somehow and it disconnect itself after a while or totally stucks in "wireless is turning on". After it get online it makes couple of reboots and it gives "wireless is turning on" error again. I can use the phone for days but wireless never gets on.
The funny point is when wireless on and screen is locked and screen is off. When I attempt to click screen lock button, sometimes it never gives light but I can see that The screen is on and I can move the ring and do whatever i want but it is very hard to see actually. I have to put on light on to see the pictures but it doesnt happen when wifi is off or gives error.
and another funny point is I can swipe down upper bar when screen is locked. I can do bypass.
What the hell is going on my phone? no idea really
lol, i don't know a solution for the screen/wifi issue. but lockscreen pulldown status bar is a new feature of ICS, not a bypass
to make it easier to access your notifications
we have the same issue i even downgrade to GB but still the same problem did have the wifi issue when you did OTA ?

I think most of the people having same issues and problems but having no solution for that? it is just ridiculous.

Hi,
Have a look at THIS THREAD
Particularly # 3 and Extra 1
I have this problem as well...whatever I do, I can't get wifi to work anymore...I reflashed firmware, tried several different roms, I followed the guide in the aforementioned post...nothing helps...it always says "Error" after some time.
Is there anybody who knows what to do?
Struggled with same problem for months...gave up
I had the same problem with my wi-fi and bluetooth. Both would get stuck on "turning on" mode and never come on. Everything else worked fine. I too flashed ROMS, Kernels, RUU's etc. to no avail. SO I GAVE UP. After 2 months without wifi i couldn't anymore so i called HTC, they asked for my S/N and IMEI and confirmed I was still under warranty, so I un-rooted, went back to S-ON, flashed the newest official T-Mobile RUU and shipped the phone away. I called today and they said the MOTHERBOARD was being replaced and I should have it back this week! Woot-Woot! Try giving HTC a call...worst thing that happens is they say NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY...but you won't find out till you give em a call...*shrug.
I have the same problem with the lock screen and wifi. Except for me the wifi is always on "Error". It doesn't say anything else it just says error. It started happening after a system update failed to install. An update would come up and reboot my phone to try and install it. So it would start up ext4 recovery and ext4 would do some stuff and then reboot again. After boot I was asked again if I wanted to install the update. I repeated this process a couple of times before deciding I had enough and deleted the update.
Wifi has been on Error ever since. Everything else works fine.
Does anyone have any ideas? I'm on a HTC Sensation XE stock rom but HTC Dev unlocked and perm rooted.

find your firmware.zip,extract the boot.img from it,place it the file where adb is and then do the commands

Hi buddy.. I was having the same problem as you with the wifi error. Also my phone was restarting by itself. what I did was that I removed the SD card and left the phone without it. It worked for me. After that my wifi was working perfectly and no more restarts. I had a 8GB SD Card before, maybe with this new update this 8GB SDcard was too heavy for the phone. I running a 2GB SDcard now with no problems. Please let me know if it worked to you as well.. Good luck!!

I tried this, but it did not work. I'm not sure if my problem is a hardware failure or a software problem. 3 weeks after I got this phone, it got water damaged. Full of water! I took out the battery, letted it dry for some hours and turned it on. Everything worked! Only thing to see from the water, was the spot, that shows if it have got water, was 3/4 red. Everyting went good within a month or so. Then in feburary/march it stopped working (wifi). The same thing for Bluetooth. It's just writing "turns on" wifi or the bluetooth, and after 5-10 minutes it say "error"
Edit: The reason why I wonder about if it's a hardware/software failure is, I do not remember if it came within a install of an costum rom or it just happened out of now where
Any sugestions?

I had the same problem, this is how i fixed it : first flahs 4EXT recovery, not clockwork, then get the rom you want and a super wipe, go into recovery, turn smartflash on in tools. Superwipe, then let it reboot, turn smartflash on again, and flash the rom

Ignore this info. What you need to do is log into your router hub & change the wifi signal Ch from auto to say, number 4 or summat, guarantee that's your problem.

Hey all,,,I have a tmo sensation and have opensensation currently installed....the thing doesnt want to connect to mobile data...keeps showing the H then disconnects and repeats. Just happened recently and has been working fine on official nightly builds.
been searching around and seen others with the same issue but havent seen a fix for it
apn is correct
anyone have any idea's?
Found an answer to this in another thread. Apparently its a problem with the audio routing fix in CM roms that causes data issues in some devices.
I flashed: http://d-h.st/RFY this and it data is back to normal.
Did you flash that after wipe or over the top? I just wiped and flashed and am continuing to get the flashing data. Restoring back to Sense works and is an option, but the oddest thing for me was that this issue occurred like over night, without any installation on my part.

I actually flashed the superwipe.zip I had on my sd from a different rom I had installed then flashed that rom from the link and it worked great.
I think the superwipe was in the elegencia rom thread in development.
gotcha, ARHD also has the Superwipe.zip Thanks for the tip.
Mine did the same I just deleted apn and programmed it again . I have simple mobile

Hey guys,
I've noticed in the last few days that my Wi-Fi just doesn't work any more. It won't even allow me to turn it on. When I go to the settings, it shows the option to turn Wi-Fi on, but it is greyed out now. I don't know what happened.
I'm using CM10 nightlies. I usually flash the new one every night and that's when I noticed this start happening. Since it started, I have tried flashing back to some older ones, even doing the full factory resets and cache wipes. No luck. Even after doing a fresh wipe, when the phone starts the initial google set up, the LTE isnt even working. It takes a few minutes for LTE to finally turn on, but the Wi-Fi has yet to.
Any suggestions as to what I should do?
Thanks

I just tried this right before I read your message. I wiped and flashed CleanROM 5.0. Sure enough Wi-Fi was working, but then went back to the CM10 ROM and it appears to not be working again. I've been looking at the CM10 thread and nobody else seems to be having this problem.

This is one x section...
on my phone running cm10 10/12 wifi just stops working. can't turn it off and it won't scan properly for networks. i have to reboot. happens everytime. that's the only bug actually i found with 10/12.
I have T-Mobile HTC sensation 4G with S-OFF and 3.33 firmware.
I have tried whole bunch of different roms (ICS/JB Stock, MIUI, CM9-mods,CM10-mods and all popular here) and kernels on it and still never had WiFi working.
Usually it just says 'Turning WiFi on ...' but it never turns ON actually. Sometimes (without any visible cause) it turns suddenly ON and discovers networks (it happens really rare). Even in this rare moments the connection is unusable - it's simply dead.
What I've tried:
- all possible ROMs without any luck
- flashed different radios and firmwares
- upgraded HBOOT (to 1.27)
- WiFix
- used latest versions of 4EXT Recovery
- flashed kernels (boot.img) in fastboot
Nothing helped me.
So my question is, is there anything that I missed completely? I'd like to know some method to enable my WiFi and use it.
Try removing wifi_supplicant.conf from /data/misc/wifi/ (make a backup of it somewhere first) then reboot and check again

Hi!
Tried your method. No changes.
Here db.tt/jiUVNqIb (could not post link yet) is my logcat output near the moment of wifi turning on (switched into airplane mode, deleted conf file, switched back)

the driver is not being initialized
can you go to complete stock(RUU ) and see ..wifi working or not (do a backup of the rom first if you want it )
ICS TMOUS RUU here

It was scary..
It couldn't run on Win7 machines, but finally ran on winxp. But there was a trouble it froze totally while flashing radio. I've waited more than hour without any progress. After it the phone became unusable. Fortunately after flashing recovery everything is fine again.
But still no WiFi...
Do you have any other ideas?
Hi bepcyc, I had the same problem as you on my Tmobile Sensation 4g. It seems to be working now. I decided to put this here in case it could help anyone else, I am not sure exactly which part fixed it so here is exactly what I did,
1. Restored stock using RUU according to this guide by kgs1992 - RUU Related Info
Note: I had to use a PC running windows 7 because the HTC drivers would not work with my windows 8 laptop, so adb did not recognize the device.
2. The wifi still was not working so I removed the back cover and raised the metal pins for the wifi connector a bit so it would make better contact with the antenna on the phone cover. The metal pins that I adjusted are the ones right above the camera when you remove the back cover.
I am not too sure if adjusting the pins solved the problem or if it was coincidental so I decided to let you know exactly what I did. Anyone having the same problem could maybe try adjusting the pins before running RUU to see if that fixes the problem.
I know how frustrating this was, I hope this helps anybody that has the same problem.
