[HTC EVO 3D] mikeysteele:
I'm writing this as these questions commonly get asked in the development threads, taking them off topic.

S-ON users commonly run into these problems, which are quite simple to solve with the right information.

When your device is S-ON and unlocked via the HTC Method, the boot partition is mounted read-only in recovery mode, which causes these problems flashing custom kernels or custom roms.

a) Flashing a custom kernel through recovery mode breaks wifi:

Android uses the linux kernel, and the wifi drivers are compiled as kernel modules. The kernel modules are located in /system/lib/modules, and the linux kernel is located on the boot partition. When you flash the kernel zip file through recovery, the updated kernel modules get successfully written to the system partition however the linux kernel cannot get written to the boot partition. The result of this is that the kernel now cannot load the wifi kernel modules. This is what causes the WIFI error.

Solution: Download FlashImgGui from the market, and use that to install the kernel. This program can successfully write the new kernel to the boot partition eliminating the mismatch between the kernel and wifi modules.

b) Flashing a custom rom through recovery breaks wifi.

This problem is basically the same as a). The boot partition cannot be written so the kernel that came with the rom isn't written to it. This causes a mismatch between the kernel modules in the custom rom and the kernel.

Solution: You can either flash a custom kernel with FlashImgGui, or extract the boot.img file from the custom rom's zip file and copy to your computer. Then use the fastboot binary to flash the boot.img to the boot partition. This will copy the kernel that is packaged with the rom to your phone, which will fix the mismatch between the kernel and wifi modules.

C) Flashing a custom rom through recovery causes boot loops or the phone hanging at the HTC screen.

Some custom roms need a different initrd.gz file to the standard one. The initrd.gz file is located on the boot partition. When you flash the custom rom through recovery, the boot partition cannot get written and so the new initrd.gz isn't written to it. This is what causes the problems booting.

Solution: Same as above. Extract the boot.img from the zip file and flash with fastboot. This will copy the correct initrd.gz file to your phone and allow the rom to function correctly.

MODS: If you feel this is in the wrong section please move it. I'm only posting here as these questions always pop up in the development threads.
[HTC EVO 3D] jcsy:
exactly what i have discovered

i can provide the testimony that the above are correct !

THANKS FOR CONFIRMING IT
[HTC EVO 3D] ilovemeow:
actually it can be solved by

1. booting into bootloader (or via cmd :adb reboot bootloader)

2. flash boot "cwm.img" <<<name of the cwm file

3. flash via cwm

4. wifi will back on
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeysteele:
That method is useful for avoiding the problems in the first place, but its easier to flash the boot.img than flash recovery and reinstall the ROM for users who already have the problem.
[HTC EVO 3D] s_superman:
doesnt it has any thing to do with the RADIO ???

because my phone came with another radio than the widely used one

and hboot 1.18

and I had tons of problems with wifi with every single rom

so I downgraded it to hboot 1.07 by flashing the EU 1.20 rom which came with the radio used here and achieved s-off using revolutionary

and all wifi problems were gone for good :)
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeysteele:
Absolutely nothing to do with the radio. Your wifi problems were solved once you got S-OFF :) . S-OFF means the boot partitions is mounted read-write in recovery mode so you do not have any of the problems I listed in the OP.
[HTC EVO 3D] waltibaba:
Where exactly do you flash the boot.img to when you need the custom rom's initrd? I.e. for 'fastboot flash xyz "boot.img"', what's the xyz?
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeysteele:
"fastboot flash boot boot.img"
[HTC EVO 3D] waltibaba:
I guessed as much, but wasnt gonna risk my phone without asking. Thank you!

THANK YOU!
[HTC EVO 3D] catbert77:
Thanks for the information, but I don't think it's entirely accurate. Those with older phones (that haven't taken updates from HTC) will possibly have the old radio firmware. And if you are S-ON and HBOOT1.5, there's no way to 'get' the new firmware on the phone if you are unlocked.

So you must get the updated radio firmware (1216), put in in the root, relock the phone, and do a bootloader boot to flash the radio firmware. Unlock again, and then you are good to go. I had the 8xx version radio firmware and couldn't run any newer ROMS with working wifi until I got the updated firmware.

Be advised that lock/unlocking wipes your phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] Salv0:
I followed the instructions but it doesn't work :(

What I did is:

1) Installed the custom ROM

2) installed the boot.img from fastboot

3) rebooted -> but stuck at htc logo

My friend's EVO 3D GSM has:

HBOOT 1.49.0018

S-ON

Unlocked

Can someone help me?? :)

thanks in advance
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Hey guys

Quite a while back I bought the case mate tough and long story short, I messed up the screen protector. I took it off and ever since then I get horrible little hairs and dirt sticking to my screen. Is there something I can use to give the screen a good clean? I just think that the screen protector may have made the screen slightly sticky. I already have a micro fiber cloth but it doesn't seem to get rid of whatever is causing it
[HTC Desire S] geekynoob:
I use the same wipes that I use on my eyeglasses to clean the screens on my cell phone and other portable devices

OR

baby wipes...just dab it a bit...and use ur microfibre cloth in

circular motion

n done.. :)
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
thanks i'll try it out and see how it goes!
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:

[HTC Desire S] microlah:
I use a little handwash soap + water, and then again with just water. The same way I clean my eyeglasses.
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
Ohmygod

He was talking about his device, and you tell him to wash it with water O.O

I'm sure you're talking about the screen protector, cause I did clean it the way you described
[HTC Desire S] amzlondon:
what i use to clean my phones screen is the spray that u get for lcd tv's and they usually come with a microfibre cloth.. i usually spray the screen and wipe it starting from a corner and polish it using the other side of the cloth.
[HTC Desire S] king_josh60:
you can also use some after shave because it is alcohol based, it will evaporate and make the phone feel like it was new

:cool:

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ma70ent:
Hey everyone...I'm finally about to root my phone and I'm pretty excited. But before I do this, I want to learn/fully understand some of the terminology that gets discussed in guides, etc.

The term S-Off and S-On. S-Off pretty much gives you FULL access to everything in the phone, correct? I've seen people say that if you unlock the bootloader, the bootloader is unlocked, but you still have S-On. What I'm wondering is what can you achieve with just having an unlocked bootloader with S-On? People can seem to get root and install/remove applications, but when it comes to flashing ROMs, what happens there? I've read that flashing ROMs can still happen, but some of the optimizations/code/whatever in the ROMs won't be applied because it wouldn't have permission to do them. Am I right?

Just trying to finally figure out why people unlock the bootloader without doing the S-Off function.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] rehabray:
if you unlock the bootloader using revolutionary then you'll have a fully unlocked phone(s-off/security-off). if you use the htc Dev site you'll get an unlocked bootloader but it'll stay s-on(security-on) because it keeps things like the partition where radio is and some other stuff locked. you can still install custom ROMs though because it does unlock your system,recovery,and bootloader partitions.

Rockin' the Miui Incredible 2 w/xda premium

here I went and found the stuff I'd read....

Why is my security still on (S-On) after I have unlocked my bootloader?

Your device is shipped with Security on (S-ON) to protect your system software configuration (such as the bootloader, radio, boot, recovery, system and others). After you have unlocked the bootloader, however, you will have lifted the restrictions on boot, recovery and system. This means you can customize boot, recovery and system images on your phone as you desire. You can easily see that you have successfully unlocked the bootloader by looking at the top of the screen when entering the bootloader screen. Security is left on to protect things like the radio, and SIM lock.

CFW means Custom Firmware. It's usually used for devices like PSP. He's carried it over from there.
