[Q] Need Original Boot.img wifi will not turn on - HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity

I hope someone can help. I have a rooted HTC VIVID, Android 4.0.3, HTC Sense 3.6, Kernel 3.016-g1739124
I installed twrp and tried to flash a few different roms. I never could get it to work so I restored my phone to stock. I guess I don't have the correct boot.img since my wifi does not turn on.
Can someone post the correct boot.img for me, or tell where to go?

If you are not in US. Maybe with changing country region code it solve and WiFi work

I am in the US. I did see something about editing my nvram.txt file but I did a search using astro file manager and i can't find one.

If you installed cm10 already.
Do this maybe it work
Be sure WiFi is fully off ( not stucking in 'WiFi turning on')
Before you try to turn WiFi on . Go to WiFi advance menu and choose change country region code and choose new one ( not default)
And try to turn on wifi

I don't have that option under advanced wi-fi
O and CM10 does not support the VIVID

This is only available in the aosp JB roms. ICS Sense builds won't have that option.

Well I never could get any of the roms to load so I gave up and tried to go back stock. I did do a search and there is no nvram.txt on my phone. I can't seem to find a copy of one for a VIVID online and I can't seem to find the original boot.img I guess I will have to live without wifi.

run the ruu on your computer, but stop at the first step with a next or continue button. hit start/run and type %TEMP% and hit enter
sort by date, newest first. In the first folder should be a ROM.zip that should contain boot.img

I say if he use jelly ROM he can use this option
For ICS you can use 'wifix manager' that can change region code
All of this that I say is only a guess

I started the RUU without the phone hooke up. No Zip. I then Hooked up the phone and went to the very last step, unhooked the phone and then clicked next. Still no zip. I have been told before that if my phone is rooted then I can't use the RUU or I will brick it. Is this true? If it's not true then I don't have any issues going ahead with the using the RUU.

No that's not true. Relock your boot loader, boot to fast boot, plug in your phone, run ruu

I tried the wifi fix manager but that didn't solve my issue either. I appreciate you guys trying to help me.

I relocked my phone but I can't get past my boot loader now. I tried to go ahead and run the RUU but it said I had an incompatible phone.

For the last sentence
How to use wifix :
Be sure WiFi is fully off
Install wifix
Run and install driver
Go out and in phone dial *#94349# ( I think, search about this code). A little text must be shown in buttom of screen 'wifix engaged'
now try to turn WiFi on
All of I do for working wifi for me is this, if you are s-off or installed boot file through adb

OK I figured out the issue. The version of twrp I was using had issues with my VIVID so I switched to the latest cwm and I was able to upload ROMS and get my wifi running again.

We now have the bootloader unlocked , I've tested out the WiFi tether from the HTC super tool kit ....it works....with LTE so just a heads up

This might be the first time I tried unlocking a bootloader. Is there a process or step guide I can follow.
Also after you unlocked the bootloader, did you use the super tool to root and add the WiFi tether? Was you able to had mobile hotspot to your phone? Or is that the WiFi tether you are referencing?

What IP address are you referring? You simply go to htcdev website, here is the direct link: http://htcdev.com/bootloader
Follow the instructions. You might have to create a free account so you can get your unlock file via email, which you then have to flash to your phone to get it unlocked.
They did a pretty good job with the instructions. You have to use the command prompt on your pc to fastboot to your phone.
I simply unlocked my bootloader ,rooted it and then ran the WiFi exploit in the super tool

I flashed Holicakes 0.3 /Beats/APM/CRTOff/Amaze4Gcamera/Extended SystemUI and its not bad! you will need to manually add the APN's though.. i added both the ATT PTA and Media Net.. STL doesnt have LTE yet so i wasnt able to test that, and currently using the media apn because i got the 5% warning yesterday
You can find the ATT PTA apn settings here
also the added Beats Audio is pretty nice!
did u have to flash the kernel first or just the rom

what i did was...
transfer the rom to the internal sd card (pulled the external card, plugged the phone in and turned on disk drive mode, then transferred the rom).
Then i flashed CWM...
Then the kernel (FYI after flashing the kernel on the next boot you will be stuck on the white HTC screen, this is normal)
pull the battery, then hold vol down plus power then choose recovery. CWM will come up, choose install zip from sdcard and choose your rom.. easy as that!

Enable Wifi Tether Hot Spot

First i want to thank Katdog75 for the find!! Tech1208 for the search... The native wifi tether hot spot seams to not be available unless you have that activated with your carrier, well you can now switch the ext. jar file in the rom, just go to system / framework and find the ext. jar file, delete it or copy it to different location if you want to keep the file. After deleting the file, copy the downloaded ext. jar file into the framework folder and re-flash your rom. You will now be able to activate wifi tether hot spot.

Im on Desensed 1.6, I extracted the htc wifi hotspot system apk from virtuous inquisition and instated it as a system app for my current rom. I replaced the ext.jar and now it seems to work.
Afterwards however if I want to use normal wifi on my phone, wifi wont turn on. . I made sure that wifi hotspot was no longer active, yet it still doesnt work.

Yes, did reboot my phone before using it, and yes when the wifi stops working and I reboot my phone it starts to work again. I just wood like to be able to use wifi hotspot and then use wifi afterwards without a reboot.
I now however have a different issue. The app does not work at all. It worked only the first time I used it. Now, it creates a network, but their is not internet.
Again, I acquired this apk from another rom (and yes I did change the permissions) and I am using Desensed 1.6. Is there any other htc framework or maybe an apn that this app relies on to work?

Havent tried with that rom, as i am the Pegasus rom by koz...You could try to remove that apk that you installed from the other rom, and then see if it works correctly. There may be some kind of conflict between the two...If all else fails, try to put the apk into a diff rom, along with the ext jar file and see if they work together.
You're welcome guys!
Does anyone know much about these ext.jar files? I have been trying to modify the file to get beats notificatiom to work as well but struggling with it

I must have read something wrong, when do you replace the framework files? I've tried putting them in a rom to flash and it aborted, did I really misread something that bad?

As long as you deleted the jar file that was on the phone, then copied the downloaded jar file, and there is just one file in the framework folder, then you did it right. Did you remember to wipe your cache and delvik cache before you flash or re-flash the rom?

[Q] Wild child recovery updated now wifi doesnt turn on

alright so my htc vivid has the wildchild recovery but is not rooted (i really dont know why but it says it isnt on root checker) and ever since my phone randomly updated its recovery my wifi won't turn on. Im thinking of going completely back to stock and see if it fixes it. Do you guys know any other way?

install superuser app and see if root works after. and you most likely need to flash a kernel through recovery to fix the wifi

Don't listen to him ^^ WildChild's site will give you the best help there.. but you did something wrong... on his site download the instructions and follow them everything works fine.

To the OP what are you trying to do? Please elaborate more. Did you flash a rom and only flashed the WCX recovery? Wildchild always provides the boot.img with his roms that need to be flashed via fastboot regardless if you are S-Off. Are you rooted? I would not flash a recovery until you can confirm root.

WIfi not working with Custom roms?

I tried a number of different custom roms now and my wifi doesnt seem to be working with any of them. So i decided to restore my stock rom just to make sure wifi worked at all. It worked fine then, So i tried another MIUI rom and it did work again.
Any help would be great thanks.
Is your device S-Off or on?
If it is S-on you will need to flash the kernel using fastboot commands.
You could also use the <fastboot boot (recovery name)> command as well.

How do I flash the kernal with fastboot? It's the boot.IMG right?
And I would have to do this for every Rom?

Yes its the boot.img, and yes you will have to do it everytime you flash a new ROM as it doesnt flash when you have S-ON. As esloan said, using <fastboot boot (recovery name)> will work. Read the stickies, they will help you figure out all you need. You need the ADB environment setup and such, then just drop the boot.img into the platform-tools (adb root working folder) folder and running that command will make it flash (after being in the bootloader with fastboot usb being active). If this is confusing, just read the stickies . They helped us all once.
Download an app called flash image GUI from the play store. It flashes the boot. IMG on S-on devices without the need for a computer. I've used it a bunch with ease. What you do is DL the new ROM to your phone, find the kernels boot.img with this app and the app will flash it. Then dismiss the app's request to regular reboot. Reboot into recovery and install the new ROM. I've done it many times without an issue. Hope this helps.

For me, Wifi issue with Vivid is something more than rom or kernel version
In "all ics roms" with "all kernels" wifi doesn't work for me. sometimes freezes on turning on and sometime doesn't show available networks
in my previous htc phones like sensation and one V, I had similar problems but it totally fixed with "Wifix" app
but on vivid, there is only one way to make wifi works:
make sure wifi is off
restart the phone
install and activate wifix
restart
and then I can use wifi. but if I restart the phone "while wifi is on", the issue reveres and I have to uninstall wifix and do all above again. so I always have to turn off wifi before any kind of restart or turning off. which is kinda hard. sometimes you forget or some crash happens
I search a lot but others people never report any wifi problem like myself. maybe there is something related to country code or... although we know that htc really messed up wifi with it's ics roms on many phones
anyway, just wanted to share my experience, maybe helpful for others
Thanks for all your help guys I really appreciate it.
I hope I don't hardware issuses but on my stock Rom which is ics it works just fine.
P.s. I just noticed I started this topic under my friends account and not mine whoops.

[Q] How do I upgrade rooted htc one to 4.3 firmware ?

I have found this question answered in opposite ways, but with my sprint htc one rooted with S-OFF how do I flash the 4.3 firmware ? Some posts say I have to put my phone back to stock then take the sprint ota updates, then unlock my bootloader once again. While others list that I flash a 4.3 firmware zip in recovery and that is all there is to it ? I just dont want to brick my phone, but I think I really need the 4.3 firmware badly. Running all 4.3 roms my call signal will be full bars then none without moving and most of the time no bars, but if I place a call my signal will stay on full bars this all being a place I have full signal, as I have a network extender and no other phones have this issue here they are all full bars constantly. Hopefully someone here can give me the right info on what I need to do and where to get the correct 4.3 firmware download if I can just flash it from recovery and if I can do that rooted or if I have to go back to stock. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
You would want to flash the rooted 4.3 firmware OMJ posted it somewhere. The other method your talking about would be flashing the stock 4.3 firmware, which would work too.

4.3 firmware needs to be flashed through fastboot. Recovery wont work.
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot reboot
I did all this, the phone booted up and then the touch screen stopped responding, Now ruu ing back to the first version.! I downloaded the 20 mb file and sent it through fastboot. Then nothing happened
I got my 4.3 firmware flashed on my sprint htc one flashed to straight talk verizon s-off with moonshine. What are the improvements that I"am supposed to see ????
I have had problems with all 4.3 roms and I have tried them all, my call signal most times shows zero bars when its full signal, sometimes it will go full bars but always goes back to none fast and the phone is never moved.
I thought flashing the 4.3 firmware would fix this issue but it did not.
Another thing is I use it on a verizon samsung network extender at home which its the old model the first model they came out with that was call signal only no 3g data were the newer model has 3g, but I notice it does this when I"am not home sometimes also but I have not really watched it while running errands in a good while. When I"am on the network extender when I call out or on a call received my phone will show full bars the whole time.
I think its working ok, but the no bars on my phone is annoying I mean I might as well not even have bars on my phone at all if they are not going to be accurate.
Anyone have any ideas ?
