Since yesterday i am getting this error when i wanna use wifi:

All i did yesterday was to try to change my kernel but it didn't apply because i didn't have a pre-rooted rom installed so it gave me status 7 error and the kernel is still the same stock kernel that i had before! But i had to wipe cache and delvik cache for that purpose....is that the problem?!

I tried reinstalling the current radio that i have but still i have the same error:(

Please help me how to get my wifi back:confused:
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
Apparently it's the same process for the xe.

Try flashing the stock kernel again and if that doesn't do the trick you'll probably need to reflash your rom.
[HTC Sensation] bx10r:
Can anyone help me. Trying to remove s off on sensation and get this...see attached pics..beta key attached with copy and paste method...
[HTC Sensation] alireza_simkesh:
where do i get the stock kernel from?
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
When you say you are trying to remove s-off, why would you use this method as this is to give you s-off? If you are already s-off and want to return to s-on then you need to follow step 5 from the OP. If however you mean that you want to get s-off then this is right.

Did you use the correct information to generate the beta key? From your pics, you need to choose Sensation as the device, 1.18.0000 as your hboot version and your serial number HT15ST****** (You should remove the pics, especially the one showing your serial number). A common error here is to use the IMEI number instead of the Serial number.

Try this one. It is named ARHD stock kernel, but AFAIK it is plain stock. As I said earlier, if this doesn't work your only other alternative is to reflash your original rom (if you don't have a backup)
[HTC Sensation] alireza_simkesh:
I tried to install this kernel and it installed ok but now i am stuck on the white screen with htc logo! i had stock rom, rooted. What should i do now?:mad:
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
If you were rooted you would hopefully have taken a backup (or at least you should have) if not you will need to reflash your original rom, you will lose your data though
[HTC Sensation] alireza_simkesh:
Ok so just to let everyone know, I was able to fix this issue. All i did was to wipe cache and dalvik cache and then i installed this kernel:

FirstTimeKernel3.0

which fixed my wifi problem totally!
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
Glad to hear, so the faux 3.0 kernel must be more "stock" than the ARHD one. Thanks for the heads up.
[HTC Sensation] civicvx94:
Well pretty sure I just bricked my phone using this guide.

I did nothing more than run the RUU.exe, it booted up fine, rebooted to bootloader, then ran "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3", and then it gives me the 'security warning' and when I try to run the RUU again it give me an error and says to download the correct RUU and try again...I have a TMOUS S4G and thats the RUU I downloaded that worked initially. I'm now trying to dl a different TMOUS RUU...

Any suggestions?
[HTC Sensation] ianoob:
If I remember correctly, somebody else had this issue and had to update to a newer RUU (higher number).
[HTC Sensation] civicvx94:
Hopefully that works...these damn RUU's take forever to dl..I still have 38 minutes left...It was so weird..I ran the RUU, it booted up fine, ran the "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3", it changed to S-ON, then when I tried to reboot it gives me the "Security Warning"..so stressed..after the Bengals lost, now this....bad day
[HTC Sensation] ianoob:
Huh, just noticed you're in Cinci too :D They played hard, and they're young. Good luck with the phone, let us know if that worked.
[HTC Sensation] civicvx94:
lol yeah when I saw you reply, the first thing I thought was wow how ironic ha..They looked good and are definitely coming together, but those few bad calls lost us the game.

Thanks for the reply man. I'll post results soon.
[HTC Sensation] ianoob:
Good news is, it isn't bricked... Just gotta get it running again ;)
[HTC Sensation] civicvx94:
haha yeah, worst comes to worst I'll just play the dumb card, "uh, yeah I did a factory reset before I sent it back now it wont turn on" lol..
[HTC Sensation] ianoob:
As long as you don't go to the same store... played that trick with my Eris 15 or more times :D
[HTC Sensation] civicvx94:
Success!

I had initially flashed the "RUU_Pyramid_TMOUS_1.27.531.2_Radio_10.42.9007.00P_10.11.9007.15_M_release_192098_signed"

Which gave me the "security warning" after the "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" command. So i then flashed "RUU_Pyramid_TMOUS_1.29.531.2_Radio_10.42.9007.00P_10.11.9007.15_M_release_193714_signed" and everything went through just fine!

Thanks for your help.
[HTC Sensation] ianoob:
No problem
[HTC Sensation] lepszy:
Ok, so I followed the procedure for getting s-on back, everything went fine except that when I go to recovery I get a red triangle with an exclamation mark. Any ideas.
[HTC Sensation] tehhoe:
Hi Guys,

I completed step 1 & 2 then installed a custom rom. But i was so keen on what was on offer, so i used the retore recovery and return to my stock rom.

I reformated and all was ok, but now when want to complete a OTA update it reboots and stops at a funny blue screen with orange and blue lighning bolt circle thing!!!!!.

lol

Any ideas?

Cheers

Battery

After setting s-off and recovery manager, my battery life is very bad

Only when I set off, there's not a bad battery life

If I set the stock RUU my battery life is 30 hours

If I install a recovery manager my battery life is 8 hours max

Does anyone know a solution?
[HTC Sensation] tsrzealot:
Yes, calibrate your battery. This has nothing to do with S-Off.
[HTC Sensation] Gerard Verweij:
tried but no success after installing s-off, there are no problems

After installing the recovery manager problems white battery life

Bricked while trying to reset factory state

Hello,

I think I bricked my phone.

I was on RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.45.401.3_Radio_10.56.9035 .00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_219990_signed.

I did s-off, installed CWM, rooted and tried to install a new kernel in order to overclock. However nor LeeDroid, nor faux123's [Kernel]HTC Stock[2.6.35.14](v0.2.4r) did not install (status 7) error in cwm.

So I finally succeeded to install faux123's First Time / Reset kernels. Interestingly after this point the device did work only with this kernel. Others installed but resulted in an endless boot loop.

I tried to reinstall the shipped RUU for my device which installed ok, but also ended up in a bootloop. After many dozen trials I gave up and went back to S-ON which I should not have done.

Now I can enter into boot, can install shipped RUU but I end up in a bootloop, no matter what I do.

I did search half a day for soultion / similar problem to no avail.

Any ideas on how to proceed from hear to get the device back to life are warmly welcome.

Thank you.
[HTC Sensation] civicvx94:
That's the stock recovery, so as long as bootloader says S-On and it's boots you're good to go.

What does your bootloader menu say? Does it have the ***security warning***? You're not bricked it it's just boot looping..maybe get a different RUU from your carrier, that's what finally got mine working again.
[HTC Sensation] tsrzealot:
Ok, please tell me what you did in order to calibrate the battery and what ROM and recovery you're using. (even though that's slightly OT ;))
[HTC Sensation] sszz:
Sometimes I have Sec. Warning, yes. After updating with RUU it goes away.

I have already tried (I have CID 032):

RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.24.401.1_Radio_10.39.9007.00P_10.11.9007.09_M2_release_190934_signed

RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.35.401.1_Radio_10.43a.9007.00U_10.51.9007.27_M3_release_198179_signed

RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.45.401.3_Radio_10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_219990_signed.exe

but only the latter works. The others give Error [140] saying that the bootloader version is wrong...

Any ideas on what file to flash to make it work?

Thank you.
[HTC Sensation] Gerard Verweij:
first i installed off-s then recovery 5.0.0.8 through Recovery Manager 1.2.1.0

Then incertcoin 3.4.2 with the result that my battery is empty after 8 hours
[HTC Sensation] civicvx94:
So when you say it "worked", you mean that it updates, but then goes to bootloop and has the security warning?

What I would try next would be to extract the rom.zip from within the RUU and rename it "PG58IMG.ZIP" and copy it to the root of your SD. Then, pull your battery, put it back it and hold volume down+power to boot into bootloader and let it flash the rom. Make sure you use the appropriate rom for you cid tho!

I found this method when I recieved the security warning and did some searching, but I never had to use it, as a different RUU worked fine.

I want my Sensation root and sim unlock to use it fully. Can some one help me with this? I have read almost 102 pages off these threat and nothing have work.
[HTC Sensation] ianoob:
Might wanna tone it down, I know its frustrating but the Mods don't like swearing :o.

That said, it's best to copy and paste... to paste you'll need to click edit at the top of the cmd window.

Good luck!

Sorry to al for the s)*)*# word, but the frustration is killing me . I have also a HD2 and the first time , I erase WM 6.5 went smooth and this one that is only to rooted is a pain in the @#$ .I did the copy and paste thing did not work...check the hboot version first 1.18.0000 but nothing work I will like to use its hole potential :(

No worries. Try closing your browser and resubmitting the info to get a new key. Copy and paste the 1st time making sure you don't get any extra characters.
[HTC Sensation] laoruga:

Same error? Try rebooting your computer and retrying. If that doesn't work, try the irc chat at http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=revolutionary The guys there can provide more support than I can :confused: Good luck again!
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
It will always give you the same key as its based on the info you choose. You mention hboot 1.18.0000, are you using the device's SERIAL number and not the IMEI number? When you run the tool, it will display the serial number, use that while generating your key.
[HTC Sensation] tsrzealot:
Alright, but how did you calibrate your battery because you said you did so.
[HTC Sensation] Gerard Verweij:
First I installed an app on the market called Battery Calibration

Then also tried using Recovery Manager but give no solution
[HTC Sensation] tsrzealot:
Ok, that sounds like you missed a couple of steps. First of all, you wrote nothing about wiping your phone before installing IC. You should fully wipe before installing a full ROM (baadnewz indicates when a wipe is advised). Then install the ROM and let it boot fully! Then install each incremental update with boot-ups in between. And in case you've never done that, flash a 1.45 RUU once as a good base for Insert Coin (that installs firmware-updates and such things that are not contained in custom ROMs; see also 1st post in IC ROM thread).

For Battery Calibration, you can follow this thread (and many others): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=16808932.

Just note that most apps report false currents (like current widget did, I don't know if it's been fixed, that's a specialty with the sensation), so that might not help too much. But the whole "charge to 100%; then wipe battery stats; then go through a couple of full charging-discharging cycles" thing works just as described. It always takes a while after flashing a new ROM until the device has "settled" and battery is acting normal again.

Also (from my own experience), after flashing a new ROM, one mostly plays around with it more than with the previous ROM (you know, it's new, it's shiny, has new options, some extra features...), so you may be inclined to think that you get worse battery life while in fact, you would've gotten the same life out of it using the old ROM in the same way you're now using the new one.

Hope that helps, good luck.

EDIT: Just to show you that it's not the ROM itself: I'm a fellow Insert Coin user and I can tell you that one day, I used my phone extremely heavily, which included streaming a lot of videos, playing games (I let Juice Defender deactivate mobile data while playing though)... 90% of my battery usage on that day came from the display's being on! And I got 9 hours out of it. With regular usage, I easily make it throught the day and the evening, only recharging it at night. If I was to use it only lightly, I'm sure two days would be possible.
[HTC Sensation] elsocplayer:
not sure if it has been mentioned as theres almost 300 pages and this is my first time running into problems using this methods to S-off and restore to S-on, I was trying to go back to S-ON and for some reason the RUU I had kept giving me error 155, I tried different things and the final thing that worked was manually putting the phone into bootloader mode as the RUU.exe couldn't do it and that's were I noticed it kept failing, restore to S-ON was good and simple after that. Good luck!
[HTC Sensation] kaineshutler:
TO THOSE THAT ARE UNABLE TO TURN PHONE ON

I was able to charge the battery by splicing a usb cable. Cut the micro usb plug off (the part that plugs into the phone). Cut off the an inch of plastic casing and you'll see four coloured wires. Bite off the red casing, and the black casing. Twist each of the two wires to keep them together. Remove the battery and plug the wire into a spare usb port. Touch the red wire onto the + contact and black onto the - contact on the battery for a couple of minutes.

Put the battery back into the phone and should give it enough juice to fix the issue as stated in post 1.
[HTC Sensation] tsrzealot:
Or buy a wall charger / docking station with extra battery slot if you don't want to mess with cables ;) had to do the same thing because one of my nandroid backups was faulty and the battery drained over night.

I have run the revolutionary Utility on my win7 64 bit will disable antivirus and no window or pupup is stationt to allow me to enter my beta key.

Many thanks in advance
[HTC Sensation] tsrzealot:
Hi. The OS (neither Win7 nor the 64bit-version) by itself is not the culprit, but it's good you're giving some information. Do you have HTC sync installed? If so, make sure it's disabled/closed or even better, uninstalled. Same applies for any program that connects to your phone. Also make sure you have the correct USB drivers (you can use the "naked USB drivers", you'll find them in the development section) installed. If all this doesn't help, can you try a different machine? If you can't, try a Linux-Distro bootable from CD and try the Linux version of Revolutionary.

This is just not working for me. It remains stuck on Acquiring Root <method 3>.

Fastboot is switched off, USB debugging is switched on. I have installed the HTC drivers from the first post (HTC Sync is not installed). I have also tried the alternative USB drivers (copied and replaced the original HTC drivers in C:\Program Files\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files\Win7_x86), tried a full factory reset and have even tried the suggestion by Da Doctor to run temp root first, but nothing is working.

Still stuck on method 3. Any other suggestions?

Today in the early hours of morning, i got S-OFF, but didnt flash recovery at that time, then flashed it via CMD, and it showed me white screen with HTC letters and freezed, helpfull guys at XDA as ussualy helped me, and i got my recovery working, only this time (YES IT WORKS) i can see two recoveries in my screen, duplicating sort of, and very, very tini, if not for qHD it would be unreadable.

Hey, glad to hear it worked. It should probably say more than just that, there should've been a process of multiple reboots into bootloader/recovery (I'm not sure anymore, it's been a while ;)) and such. However, you can check if it worked by entering the bootloader (turn off the phone, then hold volume down, keep it pressed and press the power button. Keep volume down pressed until bootloader appears). If it says "revolutionary" and "S-OFF", then it worked and you can install CWM or any recovery you like!

Is the phone just regularly switched on (homescreen) when you attempt it (because it should be) and is the phone in "HTC Sync" mode (even though you uninstalled HTC sync from your computer; because that's also what it should be)?

guyz, a question:

it's possible to rebrand a phone without supercid?

i don't know if that rom is the real vodafone IT rom, and i don't want to brick my phone with changing cid with officially vodafone IT if rom is not the real vodafone IT

i'm meaning this rom

http://dl.dbank.com/c0vmxd51e8

is there a way to know what's the cid of that rom?

thank you

p.s. i know what's the vodafone IT cid.. it's VODAP405

anyone can find if that rom has this cid?

thank you
[HTC Sensation] zcdg:
There is for sure at least one way to know that before flashing.

Need to extract from that RUU Rom.zip file first. There is a guide how to do that. After you get rom.zip file you need to install kitchen and extract build.prop file from system.img. In build.prop you will find all information you need. If you do search on web and here on XDA, you will find how to do that and in future will be able to do that with any RUU rom before flashing.
[HTC Sensation] iba21:
ehylà zcdg, do you buy a sensation? do you remember me? on hd2 wp7 thread :D

nice to re-meet you :D

yes sure, so, i have to semi "cook" the rom..

there's a way to know if that rom is not broken with cooking method? i don't have the MD5 of that RUU, so, it coul be broke, or have a bad code witch can brick phone

thank you for you help :D

p.s. have you already got hd2?
[HTC Sensation] zcdg:
Hi iba21

i remember you of course. Nice to see you again in new place. I sold all(2) my HD2 - on each of them i had to replace broken digitizer. We had a lot of fun with HD2. Now i have Sensation.

During that rom.zip and system.img extraction you will partly verify ROM if it is broken. Not 100% verification. I did that already several times with different stock RUU to find one which is best for me. Yes it is kind of half way cook.... You extract whole RUU rom and then can rebuild your own. It is not that difficult(at least to extract) if you follow to the guides.
