Okay so I just rooted my HTC Vivid, ive tried many different roms and my WiFi doesnt work on any of them.
A hour ago my WiFi was working fine on Stock ICS 4.0.3.
Currently im running Holics ROM 0.8.
Anything?
Thanks,
Dom
I would try reflashing Rom run fix permission and make sure busybox is installed hope this helps.

Yeah I did reflash each individual rom. I probably re-flashed over 10 times.
And i tried permissions aswell.
Nothing yet.
And what is busybox?
Its background support software basic runs some linux commands might get WiFi running.

you need to fastboot the boot.img extract the boot.img from the rom you are going to use put the boot.img in the same folder as fast boot open that folder and right click will hitting shift key in a open area pick command prompt reboot your phone to hboot hook it to your computer and at the command prompt type fastboot flash boot boot.img once it is done reboot your phone and your wifi should work
What if my phone isnt even detected ?
I typed "fastboot devices" and nothing happened.
Its not even showing up

try different port on your computer also different cable if you can
or a different computer
Quick question: After you extract the boot.img from the rom zip and flash it via fastboot, can you leave the boot.img in the rom zip or need to remove it before flashing the rom? I am still S-on.

you can leave it in wont hurt anything
I sent you a link to the guide for flashing ROM/Kernels while on S-On, we can't post it here.
I can't seem to figure out how to fix mine. I've tried flashing the boot.img from the ROM, and I copied bcmd.ko or what ever to System/Lib/Module as well, nothing is fixing it but re flashing the ROM, but then when I install a kernel (Like the situation I'm in now) my wifi breaks. I worked hard to get my ROM and APN settings right.
Is there a way to fix it without re flashing and losing everything? Please rescue me. :,'(

You're going to have to reflash the kernel separately from the ROM. I have to do it the same way, bc I'm "S-On" still as well. That's the only way to get your Wifi working. Make sure the kernel's boot.img is in the same folder as your fastboot.exe and your adb files. Reboot your phone into fastboot mode, then connect it to you computer.. it should then change to 'fastboot usb' which means your phone is recognised. Open your command prompt in the folder with fastboot.exe, and run the code, "fastboot flash boot boot.img," if you see 'OK' msgs then everything is done correctly. Reboot your phone n it should work perfectly.

Yes, and but you also need to fastboot flash your kernel's boot.img
But there are no custom kernels for JB on our device, are there?
Maybe he is talking about ICS's kernel

Kernel is the boot.img
So by fastboot flashing the boot.img you are flashing the kernel to the correct partition

Not entirely correct. The boot.img is the kernel(zImage) and the ramdisk. In an Anykernel update, ramdisk is extracted from your phones existing boot.img and combined with the updates zImage to make a new boot.img in a temp directory, flashed back to the boot partition and then deleted from the temp directory.
The problem with this on an s-on phone is that the boot partition is unwritable in recovery mode so it fails to update. There is a workaround where you can edit the updater-script file in the flashable zip so it doesn't attempt to flash the boot partition and delete the temp sir, so the user can then flash it manually through fastboot, but if you're at a level to do this, it's much easier to just s-off and avoid the hassle.
AFAIK l0st.prophet's kernel isn't working with jb roms, unless something has changed since I tested it.

Right. My understanding of kernels and s-on hboot has been updated
Thanks for correcting me, I meant to say the kernel is IN the boot.img but I guess I got lazy. Hopefully I was right there

It's in the Rom zip, assuming your not s-off it must be flashed separately
You can check if your s-off by going to hboot, toward the top it will say s-off or s-on...which basically means security off/on - its another level of security HTC added on above the bootloader
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2
It says s-on
so what do i do from here?
Put your boot.img into the folder which your fastboot and adb are and then open a terminal to the folder. Then put your phone into fastboot by entering the bootloader. Then type fastboot devices to see if your device is connected to the computer. If it comes up with your serial number continue if not try again. Then type fastboot flash boot.img and then go to recovery and reflash the rom.

yea bro i had the same issue. first thing redownload the cm10 rom. sometimes you can get a bad dl. second you have to take the boot.img and flash it using fastboot. once you do that perform the wipes. then immediantly flash the cm10 rom from recovery. that should work. if you deleted the recovery witch is hard to do lol. u will have to use odin. hope i help

Download either TWRP or WCX recovery. As long as your phone can get to the bootloader, you can get into Fastboot and flash the recovery again. Make sure the recovery is in the same folder where you have the adb.exe and fastboot.exe. Open up a command prompt, then change directory to where your fastboot and adb are. Type in fastboot flash recovery "recovery".img where "recovery" would be the name of the recovery file you download. This will flash pretty quickly. Once you get to that point, you probably are S-On so you need to make sure to extract the boot.img from the ROM you downloaded. Use either winrar or 7zip to extract the boot.img to the same location where you have the fastboot.exe and adb.exe. Then go to the command prompt again and change directories to the same folder where you have fastboot and adb. Type in fastboot flash boot boot.img. I usually would run this 3 times to make sure it loads properly. Once that is done reboot the phone again.
Sorry I used it on the HTC evolution 4g and it worked so I figured it would work for vivid

Is it possible to backup a rom and restore from it with a different version... I have a cm10 backup(system only)I'm currently in cm10.1 can restore without having to flash boot IMG??? If not is there a way to restore without fastboot.
No you cannot use different version kernels on not corresponding version roms. No you cannot flash boot IMG without the android debug bridge

Can I back up the system and boot...and successfully restore from different version without having to flash IMG?
Even of you have backed up boot, you still have to use fastboot to flash kernel. I think it's because we don't have s-off.. Now don't ask what is s-off, google it if you don't know
I do know what s-off is... why doesn't HTC pico have to flash kernel when change a rom? it is doesn't have s-off

You cant flash it without fastboot. You dont need to back it up as there are download links all over.
A couple of months back I flashed my HTC One to a GPE Rom and then updating using OTA to Android 4.3 which was working fine.
Upon finding this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2356654
I wanted to flash to 4.4 using it. I followed instructions and it said it installed fine.
However I'm no stuck in a boot loop.
I get the "HTc quietly brilliant" screen and then it reboots, and this loops.
I can hold down vol button and then select recovery but as soon as I do it reboots and I cannot get into recover. I've tried a few adb commands like adb reboot recovery etc. and it just says device not found. Any tips?

Before doing the flashing I was bootloader unlocked and was using clockwork mod if that is what you're asking.
You flashed a custom Google edition Rom or your converted your phone to Google edition (change cid,stock Rom,stock recovery) ?

I didn't change anything, just flashed a Rom to make it a GPE. I just installed clockwork mod and flashed the rom.
this is the name of the rom I used

Maybe the 4.4 you flashed isn't compatible. I suggest you flash back that Rom or restore your nandroid backup if any

Reflash cwm or twrp. You need the latest version.
Then flash again ARHD 5.1 Rom and make sure you full wipe.

Same here. I even dunno how to flash a new recovery...i don´t have any access to the phone - only hboot...
Boot to bootloader. Choose fastboot and then connect your phone to PC.
Next step is to download the latest version of your favorite custom recovery and place it inside the fastboot folder. Open a command window and write fastboot devices to check that fastboot is working and then write the following:
Fastboot flash recovery filename.img

I´m not able to mount/unmount system with theTWPR 2.6.3.0...but it´s the only recovery that works. I couldn´t even find the right cwm recovery...damn...
I'm was having the exact same problem, and I believe it's because you're S-ON like I am (says in the first green line of the bootloader)
Problem is try as I might (rum runner, Moonshine, revone) I cannot for the life of me get my phone S-OFF
Rum runner tells me there is no adb connection to the device, yet moonshine has no problem there and it's driving me nuts.
Until you can get S-OFF (and if you manage it let me know how) you'll more than likely have bootloop issues with that ROM

This one seems to be proper :

..but after that,,,unable to open the zip file..and the best - the zip file has gone!!
Hmm..with TWPR I´m not able to mount the sdcard..maybe thats the failure...
