no gps on every nonsense rom - Sprint HTC One (M7)

Hi all, everytime I flash NON sense rom (Slimka CM 11 / 12) my GPS is not working... why?
i tested it on multiple roms... Im using my sprint One in Europe... and im using Bad boys sense 6 rom, and all is ok... but slimkat, CM... no

Some nonSense ROMs do have issues with GPS. The two suggestions I've seen:
1. Backup your nonSense ROM, flash a Sense ROM, get GPS lock, then restore your nonSense ROM.
2. Make sure you are on the latest radios/baseband/etc.

thanks
Work like charm thank you very much
backup sense rom, (no wipe) flash CM12 + gapps, reboot, backup CM, (no wipe) restore sense rom, get position, (no wipe) restored CM

[Q] Nexus One Sense Rom Problem

Hey boys & girls
I've got a problem:
Every time when i flash a Sense Rom on my Nexus One everything is fine when i start it up. Network is fine and also Mobile Data is fine, but when press the sleep/wake button to lock the screen the mobile data dissapears
Then when i enter settings to turn it on again, it's not getting on
That happens to me on every Sense Rom (Kingdom v0.2, evil's NXSense, Modacos r24,..)
The APN Settings are correct.
I'm really pissed of because the Roms are great but they are useless for me without Mobile Data
My Phone:
Radio Update - 5.12.00.08
RA-passion-v2.2.1
HBoot 0.35.0017
Any suggestions?
What recovery are you using if your using clockwork 3.x I would change to either a previous version of clockwork (i.e. 2.5.1.4). And if your on Amon RA then I would try doing a temasek system wipe before flashing your ROM.
I'm using Amon RA-passion-v2.2.1.
What is a "temasek system wipe"?
When I flash a CM7 onto my nexus one there is no mobile data problem, only with these sense roms.
temasek wrote a script to do a more thorough wipe than the one normally performed through recovery...
Heres a copy of the script:
http://db.tt/fH1vZNM
Temasek system wipe is a .zip file that will wipe the system partition of the phone this will sometimes solve problems when flashing ROMs. Here is a link to the zip just flash it like any other zip http://www.mediafire.com/?7l9nadd9ekkp7ae
EDIT: You beat me to it danger
thanks guys! I will test it and let's see if it solves the problem
Edit: Does this also wipe battery stats, so that i have to calibrate my battery?
Ok i flashed the extremewipe.zip and then flashed a rom onto my nexus one. Now the phone reboots into the fastboot mode everytime a press "reboot phone" in the recovery menue. How can i fix that?
Sounds like it might be missing the boot partition. What firmware did you flash?
eViL's NXSense HD
Unfortunately, I am not familiar with Sense-based firmwares. Have you tried an alternate to see if it is limited to that particular one? Maybe try and flash CyanogenMod as I know that will work fine after using the Extreme Wipe.
Okay now I'm on CM7 and everything works! Is it possible that i need a froyo radio when i use this sense based roms?
Gingerbread works best with the 5.08 radio (found under Settings -> About phone -> Baseband (we take the two sets of numbers after the underscore "_"). I don't think Sense has any additional requirements with it.
I think the the ROM you flashed didn't contain anything for the /boot partition (or it just screwed up with the flash)... but that is just a guess.
So, I have to roll this thread up again.
Now I'm back on CM7 Nightly, everything works also data
And I think I tested all Sense Roms out there for the Nexus One and for me only KingX's Sense Rom and NexDesire were working.
But with these two, Bluetooth isn't working
On every other Sense Rom it is the same
I start the Rom and Data is there and after i press the sleep button to turn the display off, my mobile data dissapears, I have no clou what is wrong with my N1.
On all the Gingerbread Roms my mobile data works but the Sense Roms are killing it.
I just want to use a Sense Rom
Sorry for waking up the dead but I have the same issue. It seems to be an incompatibility between libhtc_ril.so in the rom with the radio that nexus one is running. Now, Im not sure how that could be generalized because many users have installed same roms that we tried and as well same radios and no issues with radio/data disconnecting when screen goes to sleep.
So, again, any bright mind cares to give a spoon of wisdom?
What are we missing?

[Q] S-Off with Hboot 1.28

Hello, I have an HTC Desire C, Fido. I have unlocked the bootloader and installed CWM recovery. The problem I have is no rom I have flashed has successfully booted. It seems I have to turn S off. I have seen methods to do so but not on my Hboot version.
Is it possible to turn S off on Hboot 1.28?
There is no S-OFF on our phone.
boot.img have to be flashed via fastboot
S off doesn't affect ROMs at all, you must be doing something wrong
I have been flashing the boot.img that comes with the rom I got, Nameless 7.4 build1. Here are the steps I take. First wipe all data though recovery, then flash boot.img, then flash .zip. Upon first boot, there is either a boot loop or boot's to a point of "optimizing applications" then restarts.
What is the best rom for use in Canada? I just installed Nameless 7.4 but it freezes and the first HTC splash screen. I dont want stock.

Hi,
I do have a Desire C from Virgin Canada.
I have tried other custom roms - nameless and revolutionmod. Revolutuionmod is better, but I found it unstable. Dont know if the instability came from the rom itself or the kernel.
After a lot a search I found the best option, for now, to return to the stock rom.
I have removed all the junk (with titanium backup) and the phone runs fast and smooth, with quite good battery life.
Suggestions/warnings:
- apply the ota update, if any quickly and BACKUP your working rom; if you modify the rom, or the recovery, you will not be able to install the ota update
- if ever you'd like to go back to stock rom after mdifying rom/recovery, this would be not possible for now because there is not any canadian stock rom for desire c
- if you install any custom rom, the odds are that the wi-fi will not work; you have the flash a custom kernel, such as prometheus kernel from nikhil, to make wi-fi functionnal.
Sense based ROMs will have WiFi with stock kernel, cm based ones won't even boot with a stock or sense kernel.

I personally hate sense so I went with revolution senseless rom 3.5 because wifi was borked in most others but the amazing devs found a fix for it so you might want to wait for all the patches to get applied to the roms to get wifi working before you make your choice. I also experienced some difficulty when I first rooted a desire c and you're having the same difficulties it seems. My problem was in the kernel. Eventually I just flashed completely stock everything with no mods tweaks or anything special and and booted right up. Try not to do anything fancy till you get the hang things
Let me know I you're having further troubles and I would be glad to help you!

For me wi-fi didnt work. Once I flashed nameless rom, then no stock kernel returned the wi-fi back, even if I restored the stock rome backupd earlier. Flashing prometheus kernel brings wi-fi, regardless of the rom (nameless, revolutionmod, stock).
If I flash a stock rom, with its stock kernel, then wi-fi works.
well fwiw i am in canada and had no issue at all with desense rom,and just flashed the cm10 rom yesterday and lovin it!!

Running a 4.2.2 ROM, can I go to a 4.1.2 ROM?

I'm running ARHD 11.0 which is a 4.2.2 ROM. I want to go to a 4.1.2 ROM to I can run a 4.1.2 kernel. Is this just as simple as flashing a 4.1.2 ROM from recovery?
You have to wipe your phone when going from 4.2.2 to 4.1.2. If you want to keep everything, just get SuperBackup or Titanium Backup and back everything up.
Thanks. I don't mind wiping my phone. I just want to know if it's straight for to go from newer ROM to older ROM.

No problem It is always better to wipe anyways going from a ROM to a different one just to make sure you don't get any errors and bugs.
Just to make sure I'm in the right page...the ROM comes with the kernel, right?

You can either install a custom ROM based on 4.1.2 (which most likely means you'll have to find an older version of a current custom ROM, like Android Revolution HD 9.x or TrickDroid 6.x) or you can download and install a RUU which will basically wipe your device and install the official, stock 4.1.2 for it which you can then root and install a kernel to.
if he just wipe data, and flash from 4.2.2. to 4.1.2, he can get the 0 folder in his internal memory (and just move everything?), can't he?
well I remember to have a little problem with my s3 when i did that, but you can try... if you have problems wipe everything including internal sd and flash again... (but of course you may need to flash thru sideload or OTG)
AND YES, the rom comes with the kernel, if you come from a HOX (for example) you dont need to flash the kernel manually, as was needed in the HOX
Thanks guys! Will try that

[Q] VERY worried about flashing miui rom and new bootloader.

I have just recently restarted using this phone due to my uscellular S4 getting turned off. I am now back on my LG-P990 currently rooted and running CM10.1. BUT most importantly to me is the fact that I have all my wonderful apps on my s4, I want to be able to use them by using the LG phone as a tether and calls not much else BUT CM10.1 tethering does not work, so i find myself flashing rom after rom, avatar rom, older CM mods, none would turn on tethering, so i flashed a modded version of MIUI for this phone and it worked except for ONE thing no signal, tethering turned on just fine so i decided to look around for other roms and found Slimrom TRYED to flash it didnt work, try to flash actual MIUI roms off there site, didnt work, met with an error in CWM Recovery after some searching I found its because Im running the OLD Bootloader -_- THIS is the issue im having IF MIUI does NOT work is it possible to downgrade the bootloader again so i can restore my CM10.1 backup? I have been working at this for a week, if there is something here about this can someone please just point me at it? I would appreciate any help.
On a side note i DID soft brick the phone the other day and found a program called nvflash witch flashed an install of CM mod. Dont know if that will help any.

I really do not understand how other ROMs deny Tethering. Did you flash the latest 2.x kernel by pengus77 after installing the rom? Did you make a clean install(wipe everything then install)? On the other hand, yes you can switch bootloaders as much as you like, just remember that changing the bootloader wipes everything on your internal memory, so do a backup. Did you try just plain old stock 4.0.4? Should work there. Ask anything you want, if you're still having questions.

As to the flashing to stock i lost the original rom backup i had made along time ago and cant find the original firmware anywhere online. When I flashed CM 10.1 I just ran with it, when i go to try tethering it says "Turning on portable wifi hotspot." and it stays on that no matter what untill i restart, left the phone running for 2 days once and that was still stuck on that before i restarted. As for flashing a 2.x kernel i had no idea about that. But yes when i did the installs i would do a clean wipe and install. Most of what i read online led me to believe that there was an error with CM 10.1 nightlys that was not being fixed for the tethering. So that is why i decided to go to another rom. Two questions one how do i go about finding the original firmware for this phone and two how would i go about updating or downgrading the bootloaders and could i be pointed to the files please?

Okay, This is SFSP by @sgspluss which is a pretty fast, stable and battery-friendly slimmed down version of stock ICS. It is available for both Old and NewBL, so you might want to try that first. This is AIO Toolkit. I know that you've used it and bricked your phone, but try again, and for the love of God install the nvflash drivers because most people skip that part. You have to do it manually and if you're running Windows 8 you need to disable Driver Signature Verification. But yeah, you switch bootloaders with this.

Wifi not working after flashing any rom

Hi all!
First sorry if this is not the right Forum.
I have flashed many roms In my xt1502
But by now it does not matter the ROM i try, WiFi will not work
I am using clockmod recovery.
Thanks of backup i can still keep using pac-man ROM but none of the other roms based on CM11
Thanks for your help.
I have googled and the answers are not clear
I have tried to change kernels and recovery but issues remain still!
When flashing CM12 based ROM, WiFi works again... So i guess the problem is the build?
Solution
Thanks to myself...
I solved the problem: install TWR 2.6 version, then factory reset. Version 2.8 of TWRP makes sometimes "update binary" error.
You must install a ROM based on any CM11 before 20141104, and then you always do a dirty flash of later version of the choosen rom
I guess there must be something ROM in The versions of cm11 after that date, at least form xt1502 model.
