[Q] Wifi Firmware ( BCM4329_firmware_v4.218.248.18 ) - HTC Sensation XL

Hi all, I have encountered as many of you the famous Wi Fi Issue of ICS. (Regional Wi Fi Issue). in short, when ICS detects some countries the Wi Fi stops working, and has to be shut down or to use WiFix to fix it.
in my case wifix didn't help much, but i found online that by downgrading the Wifi firmware, we can fix this for good.
Now i was following Mike1872 thread over on Sensation Forums, and I found that he has implimited this ( BCM4329_firmware) into his latest rom ARHD 6.7.2 . so i tied to manually copy the files and/or replace files from a Stock ICS or custom ICS rom from sensation XL. with no luck, mostly the wireless stops working .
I tried searching a lot with no use, if someone could point me to where i can start to learn how to do this, or at least give me the files i need to fix my problem from the system / root .
The wifi firmware is located at : System/etc/firmware
thanks all

Are you aware that this is the forum of Sensation XL? Sensation XL is totally different than Sensation, so check that out, if you are on Sensation XL then sorry, and don't try to use firmware for other phones, as the firmware is different, i recommend using a custom ROM that has all the tweaks and fixes needed.
Hope this helps

Yes i know bro. But i tried old 2.3.5 rom for xl n pulled the bc29 firmware files from it to use under ICS rom. N one suggested to me to alao copy a. Ko file from modules folder to make them work.
Im seeking this because wifix is weak and i need a permanent fix.
Any suggestions or guidelines will be thanked.

When i flash a 2.3.5 rom i have working internet? Can someone tell me how i can get it fixed
Try a different kernell. One that supports ICS.
Else buy my SGS2...
Else go get ur N900 back!
Does someone have a working Kernel/Radio for me to run ICS on my SXL?

1) there is no ICS kernel sources availible yet, so the current kernels are a mix of ICS & GB. Thats why things dont work.
Did you try manually inputing the APN?
2) please post ALL questions in Q&A. The development forum is for developers to release there work nothing else.

Oh that's why, i'm still a noob with Android Rom's etc.
I'll keep an eye out for the official Kernel than, for now back to 2.3.5

Maybe you can flash the boot.img from the asian ICS update rom. Thats the official HTC ICS kernel.

This data problem seems to be region specific and while we can't flash radios or ruu from different regions this will remain a problem. An eu radio and ril.dll would bring data to you but just not possible without s-off. See some of us here have donated blindly for s-off which may never happen. I live in hope it does. Hopefully we can start using new base Danny posted to build roms so fastboot boot.img might bring some joy.

I saw something about devs using a testpoint method to achieve S-Off on some HTC devices. Maybe that is worth a look.

Anything is worth a look right now as we need it. So many have left because of having unrootable devices and this sucks. I advised people to hold back on donating blindly for s-off as we have no solid answer from the people who actually do this

Hey guys,
I've tried to install the new ICS radio but can't get it to work, tried the radio.img with fastboot flash radio radio.img but it gives me an error.
At this point there's only one ICS rom based on the EU OTA update that gives me working 3g but this ROM has Sense build in, i would prefer one without Sense.
Can someone tell me how i can get this to work?

Here you go.. ripped as much Sense as i cud in the limited time i have today..
I would love to see a senseless ROM with full ICS theme:
- ICS Dailer
- ICS Pull down menu
- ICS Lockscreen
etc.
Further I would like as much apps removed as possible, apps like:
- Facebook
- Google+
- Youtube
etc.
At this moment i have installed the ICS 3.6 Ripped, it al works perfectly I just don't like the Sense styled menu's. I'm not much of a developer but if i need to test something im glad to help. Please help me?

Thank a lot, i will try it as soon as possible
I have the same issue, but i cant seem to find a ics rom that gives me a working 3g connection. Is there a way i can debug and find what exactly the problem is? can anyone suggest a rom that has working 3g in europe? (im from serbia, as you can see).
I have tried flashing the official ics rru (both 3.32 and 3.33), i also the official gb rru. Nothing worked.
any help is appreciated

to flash radio, hboot etc. you need make s-off your phone. Flash unprotected hboot from unlimited.io and than flash new radio.
It can be as simple problem, look at insanyly cool sense install instruction and flash a rom that way if you dont wipe dalwik and cache data will fail. I have had same problem

This problem can be solved by manually remove and add your APN, with the exact same data. For some reason this works! Try it:good:

Are you really willing to stay on stock velocity? If not, id recommand you Dark Raider rom
Sent from my HTC Raider 4G LTE running ICS.
Agree with Ideal, I have my Velocity on Dark Raider ROM and it is solid. Only problems were Tethering stopped working, got it working as per the many posts about that, and Weather widget kept force closing. This only required cleaning out the Cache from the Weather provider and we're all good now.
Otherwise, you might want to go to this thread that has gone live a couple hours ago.
Good luck Aussie mate!

I had same problem with Telstra Velocity on Dark Raider ROM, not sure why this occurs. I tried both Kozmik RC1 and Beta 7 without luck. I know that other Velocity users use Kozmik kernels and DR rom OK. Anyhow, I re-flashed the ROM with Holics kernel and the wi-fi worked.
The only other problems I had are listed above, otherwise we're sweeeeet

Go in fastboot (assuming you know how and you have correct drivers and stuff) and enter the command "fastboot gervar cid" and post me the output.
That way I will be able to forward you to the correct RUU to run.

i like custom Rom but when i use custom rom, only my wifi get problem
i test with various kernel but ... not worked
tested
Roms : Stock HK ICS Sense 3.6 - deodexed rooted zipaligned
velocity2_nightly5
HOlICS_0.6Beta_en-beats
kernel : kizmik RC1 , stock kernel
I had the same issue when i would reboot my phone it would revert back to the previous kernel and i would loose wifi ( no one has been able to tell me why ) maybe go into phone options and see if the same thing is happening with you? The way i fixed it was to run the ruu and then a custom rom but after that the next time you fastboot a kernel you will have the same problem? ( 2 different phones using different roms and kernel set ups had the same issue ) it would be awesome if someone knew the reason because its a pain in the ass having to run the ruu with every update!

[Q] Galaxy Ace Wifi Error problem

Hello Guys I guess most of you must be aware of the wi fi error problem,there is a video below to describe the problem
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItgPmVz_wz4
I have searched the forum such posts but I haven't got the solution till now,i have googled it many times but found nothing.
The only solution I know now is to restart the phone and dial *#*#526#*#*(which also works only sometimes)
Does anyone know any permanent solution for this ?
Anyone ?
well i had the same problem on my ace. I tried many solutions, but none helped.
this is not a problem with hardware, but with the stock ROM. I got rid of this bug after flashing any custom rom (that supports wi fi of course)
I'm not saying that this is the only way to manage this problem, but thats how i did it.
Try doing a full wipe of the phone and re-flash the ROM.

Well guys did everything nothing helped, so i flashed stocklite 7.1 using it since 2 days no problem so far, battery life is amazing, atleast way better than the stock roms
Thread can be closed now
wifi error prevails with the stock roms. I have used many custom roms and that bug doesnt happen. Its the problem with the stock rom. Heard it is the problem with india rom from one of my friend. May be u can try with other region firmwire and check.

No In-call sound

still... this problem make me mad. no in-call sound except using speaker or handsfree.
i try using many ways , wipe everything, install other ROM, changing Radio, and this problem still occur.
what should i do then?
i searching in internet and read that some Inc S has this disease... and no cleary solution.
has someone facing this problem too? how do yo fix it.
thank you very much for any respons
Well a help center could help, if u got warranty.
Sent from one of the few remaining Incredible S'
my inc is very old one, and the warranty has end.
i still search suitable Radio (many thread reffering this). am i in the right way?
oh yes, my rom is Sabsa prime v12.0 vivo by Alireza.
what the suitable radio for this Rom?

I doubt radio could fix your issue.
If you have no in-call sound with all roms, you probably have a hardware issue.
Try ARHD or one of the stock rooted roms to be sure.
And do a FULL wipe before flashing.
i have downloaded the ARHD Rom, but the link of firmware (that contain the radio) & superwipe was error. can someone gimme fresh link? thank you very much.
i was install ARHD with the firmware and still, the problem not swipe.....
must check the hardware.......

[Q] Help me please, this phone is all i got.

good day
so long story short, i got myself this phone for a while. i have rooted it and stuff, but i didn't go to the realm of the custom firmware n stuff, i stick with stock rom and kernel. i have quite the experience but no specialist (so yeah moderately capable), until a few weeks back, it started showing 'unfortunately systemUI has stopped working' followed by 'unfortunately default lock screen has stopped' (though the second one happens not so often as the systemUI crash). i've tried to use the apk from the stock ROM, but now all i got was a black line on top of the screen on homepage, and when i open an app, the app takes fullscreen (covers the space that initially belongs to the status bar) i use ES file explorer and i really didn't understand what to do anymore. :crying: please help!
one more question: i use an odexed ROM. of course the newer ROM i downloaded was odexes too. what is it that i actually suppose to do? copy the odex too or what?
i'm using HTC sensation XE (same spec as far as i know as XL) with an odexed ROM software number 3.33.707.151 (btw just in case, please put a download link for stock rom with that software number. please! thank you) sense 3.6 kernel 3.0.16 ICS 4.0.3
If you have XE and you have flashed an XL ROM, this is where you got it wrong. You should NEVER flash a ROM of one device on another one. Especially without the required experience. Good luck!
