Hi,
I am new to this forum. I have just flashed the latest version of LeeDroid v5.4 onto my EVO3D. Everything works except wifi.
My EVO3D is GSM and Hboot 1.49.0018 has been unlocked via htcdev,
security is still S-ON as I do not intend to flash a new kernel.
I have flashed revolution recovery into the phone as well.
Everything from LeeDroid 5.4 works except WIFI, which is unable to be enabled. It says an error.
Could someone please lend me a hand please?
Many thanks

Did you try the solution mentioned in the FAQ on leedroid.com?
Hi, thanks for the quick response.
I had a look of the faq previously...to my understanding, the faq with reference to the wifi issue refers to wifi calling (TMOUS)...I am not quite sure what that means though...
Could u pls clarify?
Thanks again.
Edit: I googled a bit more on wifi calling and I believe this is a service provided by T-Mobile? I am in Australia and we don't have this kind of wifi calling service here.
Is this patch still relevant to my current issue with LeeDroid not able to enable WIFI? Thanks again.
I dont really know if it helps, but I guess it shouldn't hurt your phone. The patch seems to be an apk file and is named SignalBoost.apk, so I would definitely try it.
Did you enable the "*Optional Orange UK Signal boost/WiFi calling selectable in Aroma" on installing? Maybe this option is a problem.
It could be that the stock kernel is not compatible, but I did not see any information that it wouldn't.
S-Off your unit and flash kernel...
Thanks guys for your response.
Is flashing the kernel the only way to resolve this? To flash the kernel I would need to downgrade the bootloader before I can do S-off.
You can flash the Kernel via ADB-commands.
Take the file boot.img from the rom archive.
Put it in the directory on your computer, that contains ADB.exe and fastboot.exe.
Enter to the HBOOT (hold volume(-) and press power, then choose fastboot)
Connect to the computer vith USB (You'll see "Fastboot USB" on the device screen)
Open CMD, navigate (in DOS-window) to your ADB-directory and write:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
The phone will reboot, you have WiFi. The problem caused because you are S-ON.

Just download and install flash image gui app either from the forums (free, forgot where the link is) or from market for about $1. This let's you flash kernels with ease. Might help to wipe dalvik and cache as well as fix permissions afterwards too.
Or just install 4ext recovery and use their smartflash enabled mode.
Hope this helps get it working! I'm Aussie, s-on, and never bothered to downgrade either.

Thanks ozlokie!!!!
I followed your advice, bought the $1 flash image gui from google play, use it to flash the latest kernel to the phone, reboot and I HAVE WIFI!!!!
All without downgrading hboot and mucking around with S-off.
I can't believe this is not documented elsewhere on the internet! I have been searching all day and see nothing like this mentioned.
That app is a GEM. Thanks again ozlokie and thanks again everyone who chip in and try to help.
I can finally take a rest from the PC now. It has been a looooonng day.

S-Off is unnecessary at this point, i have a same problem just like you and it solve without using a flash image GUI, just in case you wanna use another ROM, try to push a boot.img, as explain above, mate..

i have hboot 1.49.1107 and i seem to be the only person on here with that version.
my WiFi won't work on any rom, even a rogers rom. this is extremely irritating because when i sync with google it tries to sync all of my apps on 3g. this happened once and used 160mb of my data.
i tried re-packing roms with the wifi module, bla bla bla i've tried it all.
i was on a rom before that had wifi working, then i tried to upgrade to a new rom, no wifi, unfortunately no backup because i've never had such a problem. every other rom wifi is broken.
can someone please help me? i just haven't sync'd with google at all now, because it will just rape my data.

i've tried flashing roms but not just the kernel. does that usually work? i'll try it now.
nope, didn't work.
i'm trying to flash an older recovery and then flashing a rom, maybe it's the recovery i have no idea at this point.
does this have to do with my Hboot version? i've never heard anyone talk about this version before. does anybody have the wifi module file from a stock rogers rom with 1.49.1107 hboot?

I have the same hboot with rogers. I don't think its anything weird. It happens after using revolutionary. I'm not sure what your issue is but I've flashed radios and kernels through cwm and didn't have problems.

Did you capture a nandroid backup before flashing a custom ROM? If so, you can always get the kernel (boot.img) from the backup folder. This can be flashed using "fastboot" while your phone is in bootloader but not until you restore your custom ROM (flashing a ROM updates your kernel so you need to flash your custom kernel afterwards). The command is:
fastboot flash boot c:\somefolder\boot.img
You also need the matching wifi driver. Easiest way is to restore your nandroid backup and copy the \system\lib\modules\bcm4329.ko to your SD card. You can copy this file back after restoring your custom ROM

Hboot 1.49.1107 arose because you use the revolutionary tools. Those HBoot 0007, after the tool has revolutionized the Hboot 1107. This is completely normal
soliution try it
dear have u tried kingcobra 3d ???
if not then
donwload the latest version
then install it using sd card but remember do full wipe of ur device before installation
even from advance menu too
then install it
if it stucks at boot screen then
no prob
connect ur device with computer using fastboot
then push the boot.img file from the same rom u downloaded and installed (kingcobra)
then reboot ur device
if dont knw how push the boot.img
tthen tell me i ll explain it to u
not sure if it works on the GSM 3ds, but on CDMA that are unlocked but S-ON we can use an app called FlashImageGUI that'll flash kernels from within the OS. Usually fixes wifi problems, and doesn't require using fastboot.
However, that's CDMA, do not know what it would do to a GSM

yes thats the one I was talking about . It works well on gsm
There is another method that discovered by those ppl in Taiwan.
1. Boot your device into fastboot.
2. Connect your device to computer. (phone screen should now changed to 'fastboot usb')
3. Open cmd and type 'fastboot boot recovery.img' (providing you have all the required files as well as recovery image)
4. Flash the rom as usually.
We all know that HTCDev does not give full access to bootloader when we unlock. So his way gives your the highest permission of recovery.
Give a try and hope it works.

what files do you need? the entire rom? or just the recovery?
i've used fastboot to do the recovery.img then the boot.img and still no wifi, then i tried flashing the rom as usual, then flashing a custom kernel through the GUI app, and still no wifi.
looks like this is an actual hardware problem, reverted back to stock rogers RUU and still no WiFi.
Here's a flashable zip I created to fix my Wifi issues. May be worth a shot.
This is whats happening to me too, i had wifi working before on stock rom, but once i fashed a custom one in there, i tried turning WiFi on, and all it says is ERROR under the wifi icon in settings..
im trying to flash custom kernel and hope it fixes it...

Ok I just got finished watching the NOOB video. I looked, & searched & looked some more for the answer to my question, but as you see I am still having to ask it..
I have been rooting, (& even bricking) phones since Nexus 1, Most of the time i just read forums and find any problems that get me stuck. The problem I'm having now has to do with Flashing new Kernels
Ok so the details. I have a Sprint Evo 3D, I rooted my phone when i got it. Since then i have not been able to put a new kernel on my phone. I have installed several different ROMs trying to fix this but still nothing. I am currently running Warm two-point-three, but I cannot change the kernel from what was on my phone before the past 3 roms i installed. I have tried Kernel manager. Flashing from recovery, & flashing from a root manager. But yet still no new kernel. I even used a format all zip and still am not able to change the kernel.
( side note. I have not been able to turn on my Wi-Fi either. Im not sure if it has anything to do with the kernel but im pretty sure it does seeing as how the past 4 ROMs i put on my phone did the same thing. )
sorry about the length but i just wanted to be as specific as i could
Thanks
I would take a wild guess and say you are on HBOOT 1.5 and have to flash through fastboot. There are seveal threads on flashing HBOOT 1.5.

"If you have hboot 1.5 you have to use flashimage gui made by joeykrim on the market. It's a easy app and it safley flashes it for hboot 1.5 users since we still have s-on"
I hope this helps other people as well. (it does cost .99)
no problem hope it works out. Hear that flashgui app works great and makes flashing rom/kernels easy.

To tie up any lose ends you might have in the logic between flashing on the EVO and flashing on the EVO 3D with HTC's unlock method, I've provided a fairly detailed answer previously in a few posts on here so I'm going to quote. Feel free to ask any other questions you might have if the details don't add up.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18793336&postcount=2
The WiFi error is caused by a mismatch between the WiFi module and the currently loaded kernel. The WiFi module is stored in /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko . The kernel is stored in the boot partition.
When booted into the custom recovery through the traditional methods, reboot recovery, bootloader -> recovery, etc., HTC unlock method does not unlock *kernel* write access but does unlock *system* write access.
The result is the kernel module for WiFi is loaded but the kernel itself is not loaded. This creates a mismatch between a WiFi module loaded from the ROM and the matching kernel not being loaded as HTC does not allow it to be loaded from the traditional recovery boot method.
The main issue around kernel write access is due to the HTC unlock method only allowing kernel write access in two modes:
1) Booted in normal Android mode. My application, Flash Image GUI, will flash any kernel .zip file with the HTC unlock method because it runs in normal android mode. HTC unlocks write access to the boot partition, where the kernel is stored, in normal Android mode. Flash Image GUI also properly loads the respective WiFi modules essentially eliminating this WiFi mismatch error.
2) Fastboot booted into the custom recovery using the following command: fastboot boot c:\android\cwm-recovery.img. HTC unlock method allows kernel write access while using fastboot boot of a custom recovery.
Hope that helps!

Thanks alot guys. It did help alot & I have been going really deep into it lately... (that what she said yea yea lol) anyway. The app does still have bugs when trying to flash a new recovery img for some reason so i did still have to use fast boot for that.
@joeykrim, From that last post you obviously know alot of the inside of the roms. More specific the locations & what the different files do. I have another question about file specifics if you can help that would be great. Ill send you an email.

Wow wrong thread

Hi, I'm having some problems with my Evo 3D GSM (Mexican, telcel, actual name here is EVO Inspire 3d for some reason, HBOOT: 1.49.0016, unlocked by htcdev method, S-ON) Initially I was trying to downgrade the HBOOT to achieve S-Off, however it seems that is impossible due to my CID: bstar301.
My problem is, after installing Leedroid, I cant get wifi to work, I searched and found many with similar issues, however when I try replacing the wifi module, or installing it through recovery it doesn't fix anything, at this point I would rather fash back to my shipped rom, but I just cant seem to find it.
I admit I still am a total noob, but I do want to learn, I'm not looking for a straigthforward method to fix this, I just have some questions:
1.- Since my device is S-ON, when I flashed leedroid it didn't touch the radio nor the kernel right?
2.- Then, the problem with wifi is in the rom itself, not on the radio nor kernel?
3.- If so, can flashing a different custom rom fix it?
Thanks!
Hey,
Dont worry I can guide you through this.
The problem is not with the ROM, nor the Kernal,
As you are on S-ON the ROM cannot access the internal utilities of the phone. Just think, that the ROM cannot touch your wi-fi parts, bla bla.
So what you have to do is, install the kernal using ADB commands, which will forcefully write it to the phone memory. OK
First download this kernal :
LeeDrOiD Shooter - GSM Kernel V5.4 Final GB - 2.6.35.14(FTP), Extract the content in to a easy location. (See there is a file called boot.img inside)
Download android tools and put it in to C:/Android. Boot your phone in to bootloader menu (i.e Vol Down + Power), Connect your phone (Youll see its connected via USB on bootloader menu)
Now go to command prompt and type below codes.
C:\Android>fastboot devices ---> Shows weather the device is connected correctly
If its ok, Now go to this step.
Prompt:/>fastboot flash boot C:/<the ROm unzipped location>/boot.img
When its done. Type below
Prompt:/>fastboot reboot
Now you have flashed the kernal :d check wifi ,, it should work now.
Otherwise let me know
say thanks cheers mate
thank you so much, that did it, I have wifi again!
Glad to hear that it helped you mate
Enjoy!!
hey i've never rooted a phone before and i'm having a hard time finding out how to do this,,

htcdev
go to htcdev(dot)com/bootloader/ and click on the right "Begin Unlock Bootloader"
u will need to register.. imput some random information all will be ok

Now you only unlocked the bootloader, which is not rooting.
OP.
After you did the above, you have to flash a custom recovery and flash superuser 3.x.x for ICS.
Look around, plenty of topics that answer your question.

The only issue with s-on is that the ICS ROMs tend to bootloop for most people. I recommend you get s-off. See the stickies in the Evo3d GSM development thread for more help with that.

Hey, i've got a major problem with the mwakious3Drom® rom, i followed the wrong steps and installed the newest version straight away through recovery, and now when i turn on the evo 3d it stays on the white screen with green letters 'HTC' forever, it never goes off.
i've tried factory reset but it's of no use; also tried restoring it through a nandroid backup i think, through recovery from jus tafter i rooted but it takes long on the 'restoring boot image' part and once that part's done the other things take place except for 'ext-sdcard' or something, ]it still dosen't work and stays on htc logo when turned on.
I thought i may be able to install a different ROM so i downloaded evolver3D2.3, however when conencted through usb cable from evo 3d to the pc, the 'removable disk (j' shows up but when clicked on it replies ' please insert a disk into removable disk(j', it dosen't let me go onto my sdcard so i cant copy the files.
When i go onto fastboot and have the usb connected the 'fastboot usb' does show up on the 3d so there's still hope i can do something from there but i really don't know where to start and i'm afraid if i've bricked it; have i or is it fixable?
Please, please help me, i would be so grateful
edit : btw, i have the anryl kernel 30.09 if this could be helpful.
First dont worry everything is fixable at xda second i will try to help u as much as i can if ur memory card isnt readable anymore , put mwakious 3D rom 11 the base one on another sd card and boot into recovery and do a full wipe and flash it and to flash thr patches make a full boot then reboot to recovery wipe cache and dalvik cache and flash the update i rly dont know what happened to that sd card and if that didnt work search for OTA ics ruu and flash it in bootloader and then s-off that hboot 1.53.007 trust me its easy and its way easier to flash roms and to avoid bootloops
Hit the thanks button if i helped

If you can remove the sd card and plug it in to your computer directly, you can check to make sure it is working properly (and copy the ROM over at the same time). If you can boot into recovery from fastboot, then you can flash the ROM. If not, you'll have to push a new recovery through your computer.

hey guys, i fixed the problem by popping the sdcard in a blackberry and connecting it, afer a while it started to work so i installed the evolver32 rom. anyways it was workng perfectly BUT wifi dosen't work. so i thought wifi may not work only on that rom, however i installed the mwakious3Drom® rom and when i click wifi it says error and theres no wifi connection.. could this be due to me not getting s-off or do they just do that on 1.53.007 ?
I think no wifi is a symptom of a bad kernel flash due to being s-on. So I think being s-off and flashing again might help.

I've been (at least trying to) patiently wait for Deck to post full install instructions for CM10 but the CM10 op is still bare as bones. Has anyone else posted an install guide or instructions yet?
I'm currently rooted with RegawMod and running MeanRom 2.1 and it's really terribly laggy and frustrating, I can't wait any longer for CM10. Do I need S-off to install CM10 or do I just wipe, flash, and go?
Thanks for any help or links!
If you are on hboot 1.15 or higher you have to fast boot flash the kernel.
Other than that its just like a normal aosp install. Wipe flash rom flash gapps.
Its been my daily for 3 weeks.

You don't need s-off. You will however have to flash the boot IMG separately by using fastboot or the app flash image GUI and a full wipe is definitely required. There is a helpful thread in Q&A called "don't panic" that will answer all your questions
Good luck

edit - From what I can tell from reading, hboot 1.12 doesn't have the same restrictions that 1.15+ do, so I think I'm OK but I would like verification.
Thanks for the help everyone.
Yes hboot 1.12 allows for access to the boot partition
Also luuuuucckkyyyyyy...

If you are on Hboot 1.12 I'd strongly suggest looking into getting S-OFF. Theres really no reason not to.
Up to you though, its not required
Bit off topic, anyone check to see if you can push a new splash, right now I'm too lazy to start my PC just to fastboot one measly splash

The S-OFF guide was way over my head so I just let it be. If there's not a real good reason for doing it, and I can still run CM10, then I'd rather not.
It allows you to directly flash new firmware like radios to fix any problems a device might be having. If you have Son and want the latest firmware you have to revert back to stock and accept ota, then unlock reflash recovery and reflash custom ROM or rooted stock, you could also just flash root installer if you want to just root stock

No, S-ON people with 1.12 H-boot can flash radios and firmware from recovery. They can do whatever they please in recovery just like S-OFF. S-OFF users can flash things from bootloader and even change the appearance of their h-boot to read S-ON and **locked** even though they are S-OFF
To the OP, this is the best rooting guide I've seen. It really explains everything step by step. http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-lte...panda-s-htc-dev-ltevo-root-dummies-guide.html Its recommended to have Linux at least bootable, because in the small chance the phone gets bricked... the unbricker program requires linux.
I ran it in windows before the unbricker was available, no issues here
You basically just hook the phone up to it and run the program like you do for most other root programs. All 1-click
Ah yeah forgot to mention that, most everyone is on 1.15 or 1.19 sorry

Alright, I got S-Off using Lazy Panda and it went better than expected!
Do I need to flash updated firmware / radios separately from CM10, or does CM10 include latest firmware?
Sorry to ask dumb questions, but I do hope this thread will also be a good resource for others like me.
You don't have to flash any firmware updates. There are a few users with issues although they may be related to the ROM update and not necessarily the firmware included. I haven't really checked since I'm s on. If you want to update the radios there's an update zip here somewhere, be sure to read through everything carefully. Radios are more risky then every day flashing
Alright everyone now I need some help!
I flashed CM10 after s-off, was on stocked 1.13 rooted rom.
Now when CM10 boots up I am faced with a phone activation screen. It says something like "you will not be able to place calls or access the mobile network until the device is activated". I am unable to make calls or receive calls or access the internet. I have tried reflashing cm10 and the problem persists.
In the mean time, I will try flashing a nand backup and see where that gets me. I appreciate any and all help, and I have found no posts in the CM10 thread with a similar issue.
Update: I wiped and restored a back-up, MeanRom 2.1. Upon boot, hands-free activation ran and activated the phone and downloaded a PRL update. Everything is working fine now. Not sure if I should try CM10 again or what? Any advice?

Yes, you should be flashing the upgraded firmware. You'll see the full firmware as the very first downloadable link. Flash that

Rename the file to "PJ75IMG.zip", place on root of SD card, and boot into HBOOT to flash. Check the md5 to make sure its right. With radios you want to make sure its the correct file.
Welcome to S-OFF my friend

Thanks, but I tried this and it says "no image or wrong image" when trying to flash the PJ75IMG.zip file.
Did you type in PJ75IMG.zip or PJ75IMG and kept it a zip file...you should do the 2nd.

I thought that might've been the issue so I tried it both ways, didn't work either way. I'll take another shot at it tomorrow.
