Hello XDA,
I am new to these forums and I was wondering whether or not anybody can help me with my issue. Recently, I flashed the MIUI Rom(2.12.21) on my HTC Evo 3D (Virgin Mobile). I didn't flash any custom kernels, as I am a noob to rooting/flashing roms and just recently learned how to do so. So I flashed MIUI, and everything went well. I started up my phone, and everything was smooth and I was happy with the rom. But, for some reason, whenever I try to turn on the wifi, it keeps getting stuck on the "Turning on" state. I've tried restarting the phone with no luck. I searched about this issue online and heard about a WIFI fix for MIUI? I'm not really sure, but if someone could help me that would make my day . I have no other issues with the rom, it is an excellent one. Thank you everyone, I hope to get an answer soon. Bye!

EDIT #2: Okay so I tried to flash an earlier version of MIUI (2.8.17) and was successful, but the WIFI was still stuck on "Turning on..." everytime I try. Can someone please help with this issue? Is there a certain kernel I must flash for this to work? Thank you!
EDIT #3: SOLVED. Had to reflash kernel seperately. Thank you too coal686 for helping!

EDIT: I tried to reflash, but again no luck. I am currently flashing an older version of MIUI for Evo 3D, and I'll post how it goes.
Are you s-on? If so, you must flash the kernel separately. Use either fastboot or smart flash in 4ext recovery.

I am s-on. Which kernel am I supposed to flash, can you link me too it or give me a name? And what's 4ext recovery? Is that just the normal recovery? Sorry for being such a noob, but thank you!

The kernel is the boot.img file from the Rom zip. 4ext is a custom recovery. If you search this site, you'll find it (I'm on my phone).

A couple weeks ago I flashed the Midnight rom for my Evo V, and I flashed the boot.img file seperately. I used TeamWin recovery to do so, and it worked. So can I do the same with the MIUI? Again, thank you for the help.

Yes that should do it. And your welcome for the help (don't forget the Thanks button ).

Of course I post how it goes!
4ext custom recovery
The nice thing about that recovery is that the recovery asks if you are s-off and if you are s-on then it auto flashes the kernel separately for you.

Hello,
I am trying to get viperROM to work correctly on my Evo 3D. I would have posted in that thread but I don't have 10 posts yet so I'm not allowed...
I wasn't thinking and I accepted the OTA update when it came out.
So I used this tutorial and did the HTC unlock and then flashed CWM 4.0.1.4 to my phone.
I used CWM to back up my stock ROM, then I used it to install viperROM.
Well, it worked except for the fact that the WiFi wouldn't turn on. It just said "Error".
I have been reading these forums for hours now and my eyes are glazing over but I figure it's something to do with the radio I guess?
I tried to do some forum searches but the search function is apparently down for nightly maintenance.
Anyways, I restored my backup and thank God WiFi is working again.
Can someone please point me in the right direction to fixing this?
Thanks.
Did you do a full wipe before you installed viperRom?
I don't believe you can use Viperrom on your phone because it is a 2.3.3 rom and your kernel is only for 2.3.4 roms. When you took the OTA and your phone upgraded to the 1.50 bootloader you lost the ability to install kernels and write to the boot partition. With out the proper kernel you will have problems running any 2.3.3 roms properly. Look for a rom that is already upgraded to 2.3.4 and give that a try. For now I would flash back to stock and wait for Viperboy to update his rom.
help please?
I try RCMIX 2.2.3 and recover HTC Rom but stcuk boot HTC logo.
Can i replaces viperROM ? how i can?
I'm Newbie.
Thanks

This is my third Android phone and the first one that its a Canadian one. I used to have GS AT&T and just followed guides here because everyone had AT&T and no problems there. Now that i got Wind Mobile i dont know where to start. I did unlock the bootloader so thats one thing done right. Now all the ROMs i see in Dev section are based on T-Mobile version. Will i be able to flash them?

Not the ROM the kernel.

Some people have found that flashing the kernel twice has solved their data and wifi issue.

Whatever ROM you flashed go back to the original thread and look for the kernel.
The ROM i am using recommends CWMFauxKernelv007 but that did not help or maybe i am doing it wrong? I just copied boot file form CWMFauxKernelv007 and flshed it with Easy Kernel Flasher. Did it 2 times and still no Data.
Flashed stock ROM back and 4G is back. Looks like APNs are gone. Is that something i must do every time since i am using T-Mobile ROMs?
Is this rom working in turkey
Ok, I got my evo 3d about 2 hours ago. I used the roll up sticky to find out how to root. I used htc dev, all went as expected. I now have twrp and superuser. So the first ROM im gonna try is viper rom. I know I have limitations with having used htc dev. So my question is... Do I need to do anything other than flash the rom from recovery? like flash a kernel with flash image gui beforehand? It states in the op that it uses the stock kernel so I think ill be ok with just wiping and flashing but I just wanna make sure. Please be easy on me, as I know this is a noob question that youll say I could have found by searching. I did search a little. Thanks in advance.
Edit..nvm, I got it.

If it uses stock kernel, then wipe everything through recovery and flash. And if after flashing you face any issues , flash boot.img using fastboot then working kernel.zip from recovery.
But i would suggest you to use PC to boot recovery then wipe then flash. So you will face no issues.
all sorts of members have been posting that they have hboot 1.50 with dev unlocked and are easily flashing ics sense 3.6 roms without installing the virgin mobile firmware.. i havent had such luck... and i cant figure out why. i have tried both the fastboot bypass method and also buying the EXT4 recovery and installing through that as well....nothing works....rom boots up and one the setup screen comes on ...it freezes and boot loops .... can some one that has flashed the new sense roms with hboot 1.50 please help me ...and tell me what ive missed or done wrong...
Same problem here, been told I need to downgrade hboot to 1.4 and s-off...too much of a noob for that! Lol

I had the same problem as you guys. Try flashing the rom and chad's ics leak kernel in 4ext recovery and see if that does it. This worked for me.
thanx

Is there something similar for GSM?
Sorry in advance as I'm sure the answer is here somewhere but I cant manage to find it.
I just got a used Note 2 with an unlocked bootloader.
It is currently on SR Remix 4.3 and I'm wondering what I have to do (if anything) to be able to flash 4.4 aosp roms?
I saw something about using the latest recovery and I also thought I saw something about updating the baseband too but now I cant find it again
I've always had moto phones but with that being said I understand what odin is and helped my cousin flash a couple roms on his s3 before.
Any help is greatly appreciated. The last thing i want to do is brick my new phone haha
EDIT: My baseband is MJ9. Probably should have mentioned that

You need the latest cwr or twrp. Then you wipe, flash rom, flash latest gapps and then reboot.
