Hello!
I have HTC Evo V 4G and I have it rooted. I don't think I have it S-OFF'd, but I do have 4EXT Touch Recovery installed. I have H-Boot 1.58.
At first I thought it was a HTC Evo 3D so I installed an Android Revolution HD 2.0.1 on it. Everything worked fine iuntil I realized WiFi wasn't turning on and always said "error". I decided to install unSENSEable 2.1 and it installed perfectly, but WiFi still didn't work. I have tried installing NUMEROUS kernels and Wifi still didn't work. I have 4EXT Recovery installed but I am not 100% sure if SmartFlash is installed. I can't install APKs and for some reason it shows that my SD Card isn't mounted, even though when I connect my phone to my computer, it shows up the SD card files.
I have tried multiple ROMs and the problem still persists. I am freaking out and have no other things to think about besides my half-bricked phone.
Please help me out!

OK, first off you're running an EVO 3D that on Virgin Mobile is called the HTC EVO V 4G. The 4G folk will direct you there, and nobody knows why Virgin Mobile used the 4G name for the 3D...
Secondly, the issues you're experiencing are with symptomatic of a bad kernel install which you'll get if you don't have smartflash on 4ext enabled and you're S-ON. If you haven't used wires, you're S-ON,
Until smartflash is enabled, nothing you flash will flash the kernel/wifi modules... so go in 4ext, it should be in settings to enable smartflash... just means it flashes kernel sections in Android mode instead of recovery - transparent to you.
Do that, see if your issues don't start clearing up

Hey all, long time lurker, first time poster....unfortunately....
So after sitting on MIUI for a good while, and having a blast with it, I decided to try out some other ROMs. I was interested in seeing Cyanogen 6, and so I went about attempting to get the latest stable, non RC ROM onto my EVO. I read into it seeing that I needed to downgrade my hboot, and found the image without a problem (running the .76 right now, had the 9something one before...)
Well, I downgraded my hboot without an issue, flashed the Cyanogen, and got into a splashloop. I figured out it was becaue I hadn't wiped my cache or data before flashing the rom, so I went into the Clockwork Recovery and wiped those, flashed once more, and it booted into Cyanogen perfectly!
Well, almost. I don't have 3G now.
For some reason, I am unable to connect to 3G no matter what I try. My nandroid's broke due to the hboot downgrading, rewiping the cache/data and reflashing cyanogen did nothing, and now for some reason, when I attempt to go back to MIUI, it still will not allow me to connect to 3G. I can send and receive texts, and make and receive calls, but alas, no data connection.
Should I get a fresh RUU and stock hboot, upgrade and restart from scratch? I just want to get back to MIUI at this point with a working, data enabled phone.....
If that's the case, that I do need to start over, where can I find a new hboot for the EVO that isn't .76? I'm pretty saavy when it comes to this stuff, but for some reason right now I just can't figure it out....
HTC EVO running MIUI v0.11 stable
.76 hboot w/ Clockwork recovery
Broken nand backup
whatdo?
Thanks in advance for the help
Sorry for the double post, but I resolved my issue.
I am unsure of what exactly went wrong, but I figured it was somewhere between downgrading my hboot, and flashing the CM 6 stable ROM that my 3G data got scrambled....
So! Using ROM Manager, I made a backup of my working (non 3G) MIUI image, and flashed the Odyxed version of the RUU found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=836728). After flashing in Recovery, it booted into SenseUI, and worked like a charm!
My 3G hath returned, and issues have been solved. It's nice when you're able to fix things on your own, though I couldn't have done it without the help of that handy dandy search button, and the RUU keyword
Oh, yeah, and I guess xxbabiboi228xx as well.....maybe....^_~
EDIT: SOLVED!!!! it was a usb brick. see last post for details.
hi all,
I have a problem with my desire.
Bluetooth won't turn on. If I try to enable BT, it says grey'ed out for like 10 secs and the goes back to unchecked.
I got this device used so I don't have many background information. All I can tell is I tried different ROMs and wiped all I could, but still no luck. I actually highly suspect this might be an hardware issues, but I'd really like to try everything before shipping back to assistance.
Here are my current specs:
htc desire amoled
bravo pvt1 ship s-on
hboot 0.80.0000
radio 5.11.05.27
rom cyanogenmod 7.1.0
kernel 2.6.37.6-cyanogenmod-geb50077
Recovery: Clockworkmod
ANY hint highly appreciated.
Got exactly the same problem.
BT worked while running the former stable CM release. I first noticed this issue when flashing latest CM. You tried other ROMs which didnt work?
Did you try other Radios as well?
I am not an expert, but I think it could be a problem of the radio. I never totally understood what the radio does, so could anybody help with this guess? I never changed Radio as there was no need for (never touch a running system).
lexo, did you try rolling back to 7.0.3 to see if BT would work again?
I was also thinking about radio, exp b\c it seems to not be a ROM-specific issue, as I have tried several: LeeDroid, InsertCoin, MIUI, as well as a stock rom.
I believe the point with radio is not necessarily about having the latest, but finding the one that works well with one's rom. Also, there is RIL, but that I don't know what it does.
No, didnt try that yet.
I use BT in my car to listen to music only so I didnt notice the issue at first. Now i am thinking about buying Galaxy Nexus, so I am not too exited about that point. But as I am willing to pass my Desire to my lil sister I would love to have it fixed.
Whats "RIL"? Think I never heard about it.
Don't know if this is relevant but had a similar problem with Bluetooth, wifi and Mobile data yesterday. None of them had connectivity!
The remedy that worked for me was to wipe the cache and dalvik, reflash CM7.1 via recovery (but remember to also flash the Google apps package) and soft reset.
No data is lost this way.
Hope that helps!

This may not be relevant but when I couldn't enable Bluetooth on my done when I have a USB brick.....
Try the USB brick fix it may work
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
update:
so far I did:
- wiped everything including dalvik and reflashed cm7 - no luck
- removed files in etc/bluetooth [read somewhere] - nuthing
- applyied a .zip update that is supposed to fix a possible USB brick - no change.
@LEXO: I think you might try the first two things I did, in your case they might work.
So now I flashed a RUU Rom and reverted to stock s-on bootloader, hboot, radio (ril, too, I believe, though I dunno how to tell ril version) and recovery.
The only thing I'm not completely sure about is the USB brick fix, but otherwise it's ready to ship to assistance.
@Reaper, can you point me to the USB fix you referred to?
guys!!! Thanks everyone, expecially reaper.
My BT is working again!!! turn out it was a USB brick, which I was able to solve fairly easy.
I had tried a usb brick fix that involved flashing a .zip, which I did. However still no BT changed so I assumed phone was not bricked after all.
Also, I always assumed usb brick would involve major cd and usb connect malfunctions, and that was not my case at all.
However it must have been that fix that didn't work, because I then followed the guide on this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=691639: got my CID via fastboot, modified the files accordingly, put them on sd card, got temp root with visionary, issued the necessary commands with "free root system tool" terminal, rebooted, and voilĂ ! BT is finally green.
I can't believe I made it!
Hi. I just flashed my old g2 with ARHD 7 and now the phone after I turn it on it boots into the HTC screen and then it goes directly into recovery. I had never had a problem like this when flashing a rom in this phone. I have searched all around but still cant find anything like this.
Off the top of my head, do you have the Desire Z hboot installed?
(Not sure if the problem description is a symptom of not having it, but it is required when running pretty much any Sense ROM)
This can happen if the ROM you flashed did not flash properly. Have you tried to wipe everything, redownload, and reflash the ROM?
I believe that biohazrd51 is correct, not having the desire z HBOOT can cause this problem as well.
Hey! Thanks for the replies! I did found out that I didn't had the desire z hboot....noobiadaaaa onmy side...hehe...I flashed it and I didn't even had to reflash the rom...it worked flawlesly. I was trying to use the phone with AT&T but it would not connect in other band than edge. I guess I'll check to see if the frequencies on the G2 are compatible with the AT&T network. It would make calls and receive. But the internet was slow as hell! Thanks again guys.
Please help me
A couple of days ago, I changed my Micro SD card (without moving the files from the old SD card to the new one) so my phone kept on putting the loading screen, and after that, I planned to wipe and then re-install my ROM. I switched the phone to recovery mode, and by mistake after wiping (maybe before, I don't remember :/ ), I chose the option "wipe cache partition" so I was unable to flash this ROM again after that. then I downloaded the ROM "ICS for desire (sanvold)" v. 0.4.4 Beta, and it worked! but Wifi did not work! (when I enter the WiFi settings and turn it on, it keeps on saying "Turning Wi-Fi on..." even after it's turned on! and if I turn it on using the widget, or from the main settings screen in the wireless and networks (without entering to the WiFi settings) and after it's turned on, I enter the WiFi settings and there is nothing but the blue background screen). Bluetooth can be turned on and can be seen by others, but the problem is that my laptop said that it couldn't send a file to it, but maybe it's because of the laptop not the phone so it's not that problem, but my main problem is the Wi-Fi.
About Phone:
Model Number: HTC Desire
Android version: 4.0.3
Baseband version: 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23
Mod version: Desire Beta 0.4.4
ROM: ICS for Desire (By Sanvold) Beta 0.4.4
I have flashed the radio 5.17.05.23
So my question is, what's the problem with the Wi-Fi? why isn't it working? how can I fix it? thanks in advance and sorry for making this long

Do a full wipe.
Boot, system, data, cache, dalvic, sd-ext
Then reflash.

My old ROM (which I had before this problem happened) did not work when I flashed it again

Clear data for Google Services Framowork and problematic apps and reboot. When you reboot the phone connect to some of the google apps via mobile network and then try via wifi. You'll maybe need more then one try.

So I'm having more problems with my freshly rooted Evo 4g.... I'm still running the Decks Reloaded rom however I did a fresh install and removed the fancy launcher that you can load with it which helped my phone to run a lot smoother and faster but all of a sudden my wifi won't connect to my home network. It cycles through obtaining an IP address then says it's not in range even though my phone is sitting right next to it. I rooted my bf's phone yesterday loaded the same decks reloaded rom on his and his wifi is working just fine.... I tried Wifi fxr from the market place but no luck. I need help this is driving me crazy.
Update to my problem I have no 4g as well.... so frustrated right now.
happened to me once on a different rom--what i did was enable wifi and powered off, when I rebooted everything was fine
What sezzme said could work. If not, its not your phone, its the ROM probably and if your having issues with a lot of ROMs, MAKE SURE YOUR SD CARD IS PARTITIONED
Thanks guys I'll try that.... I went back to my clean working nandroid backup did a good solid wipe then reloaded the rom. Wifi was working and then I had to reboot my phone (I can't remember why...) and then it quit working again. I'll try your suggestion and if that doesn't work well then I guess I'll try another rom.
When you say my sd card should be partitioned does that mean I should format it and then partition it???
Also just tried to turn on the wifi and reboot the phone that didn't work.

Yes. For 2 months i wasn't partitioned, and certain files when flashing ROM's and files, require a partition or something along those lines, Its just how it operates in a way. After i partitioned, my issues went away completely. Idk the specifics though.
Anyways, drag and drop your personal files from your phone, look up a partition guide, and knock yourself out, then wipe and reflash.
Great I'll give that a try.
just remember.. .just because that rom works on your bf's phone doesn't mean it will work on your phone.. .even though they are both evos, they may not work the same with custom roms

I partitioned the sd card reinstalled Reloaded and everything is working beautiful now. Thanks!
glad you got it working
