I just flashed a custom ROM (This one), and my WiFi just doesn't work. WiFi in settings is completely greyed out. Please help!!
Using A5_UL
I also have the same problem. I flashed insertion 8.0.8 and only the WiFi is not functioning. Did you find a solution? I have an HTC One m8 fully rooted and with a twrp recovery. I was thinking of switching to clockworkmod and try flashing it again.
Have you updated to the lollipop firmware before flashing the rom?

Hey guys, short background, upgraded to the HTC one at my brothers urging (showed me how sweet the phone can be after rooting and installing custom ROMs) and I absolutely love the phone. I bought the phone this last Sunday (Mar 2) and unlocked it with s-OFF, and installed the Viper 5.0 rom without too much trouble (had my brothers help). Since then I have come to learn that when making phone calls the only way for them to work properly is by using a headset with a mic built in. If I have the headset unplugged the call will go through (either receiving or making) but once it is picked up on either end there is no sound at all, even with speakerphone active. When someone calls me, my phone will ring, but again, no sound on either end.
I also never used the phone to make any calls before I rooted the phone, but I have ran a recovery back to stock ROM and still nothing. I have spent a lot of time on google searching the issue and everything I came across basically said get a new phone. Although it is annoying as hell, I would like to explore every option of fixing it before I take it back, and I think you guys can help!
Some friends have suggested updating radio's, and trying different ROM's, but to be honest I'm not sure I fully understand how to flash/run other ROM's on my own (my bro did most of the work while I watched) . I did reinstall the kernel I was using (ElementalX something) and reset all my power settings back to stock, but that didn't help any. Sorry for the wall of text but any help will be appreciated. Also, feel free to dumb it down for a HTC noob here
Thanks in advance!
p.s. using the HTC one 5.0 Viper ROM ElementalX kernel
Do you know if your brother ever updated it to the kitkat firmware? Running a kitkat rom with jellybean firmware is known to cause call issues. I would update the firmware using fastboot. You will need a pc with adb setup, and this file http://vzw1files.dyndns.org/FIRMWARE/3.11.605.1_firmware.zip If you feel up to trying it your self i can tell you how to do it.
Awesome man, that was it. Had to update the firmware/radio and now it works like a charm! Thanks very much!
Ok, so what I thought worked initially is no longer working . After I updated firmware/radio here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485319 my phone started working correctly. After that I went on to download a HTC one color theme, and thats when problems started happening!
After I downloaded the theme and got my phone set up just the way I wanted it, it started freezing on me at the HTC splash screen. So after much deliberation I wiped everything back to the stock ROM and proceeded to reinstall my Viper 5.0 ROM and ElementalX kernel. During this process my phone went back to it's original problem of not wanting to give me any sound during phone calls. So I re-updated the firmware/radio again using the same zip file and steps that I had before from the link above ^^^ and my phone started restarting itself on its own, over and over. After I got into the recovery and yet again restored it back to stock roms and settings, the phone sound worked again. So, again, I installed the Viper 5.0 rom and elementalX kernel and checked to see if the phone was working properly, which everything was except for the phone sound (yet again). After another installation of the above firmware/radio update my phone decided to start restarting on its own again!!!
So currently I have wiped the ROM back to stock settings, and have not touched a thing! From what I understand there is not a problem with the ROM or the kernel (my brother is using the same files from my computer on his HTC one without any problems) but in my firmware/radio files. I have looked up a few firmware updates on my own but am hesitant to install them because I don't know if they're compatible with my phone/viper ROM. Again any help would be awesome, and I thank you in advance!!!!!!

You only need to flash the firmware/radios one time.
If you read the firmware radio install instructions in my thread, you should be using the one without the Boot.img/kernel.
The stock kernel is not gonna work on Viper apparently.
So you either flash the firmware which includes the stock Boot.img and then flash your choice of custom rom, or flash custom rom and then flash the firmware without the Boot.img that I posted.
If you are getting the files from my thread, that's where the instructions and proper files are located.
But once you have flashed the firmware it doesn't change until you flash new firmware again, no point in doing it over and over.
Flash firmware then Viper or use the one I posted without the stock kernel(boot.img)
So if you have no sound after updating firmware, flashing Viper and then a custom kernel, the issue is your kernel/rom combo.
You can flash any of the firmwares here http://vzw1files.dyndns.org/FIRMWARE/, or the ones from post 2 of santods stock rom thread in development. But it is recomended to match the firmware with the rom. So kk rom kk firmware, jb rom jb firmware. To me it sounds like a rom issue, a kernel issue, or a incompatibility between the two. But you said your bro is using it just fine so i dont know.
Does viper come with its own custom kernel built in, or does it just use the stock one?

Thanks Santod, so far that appeared to have done the trick. Stayed up well into the AM last night to get this phone figured out. I downloaded your firmware without the Boot.img, flashed the custom rom, and then flashed the firmware and everything has been working so far.
If I could ask you two more quick questions, What is the significance of having the Boot.img or not having the Boot.img? And if down the road I install a new ROM and factory reset the phone, wont I have to update the firmware again?

The Boot.img is basically the kernel and the files that initiate it(ramdisk).
If you are on a custom rom, you do not need nor want the stock kernel.
Most custom roms have a nice custom kernel included that is known to work on their rom.
If you simply wanted a stock rom and full stock firmware, then you would be using the stock kernel/boot.img.
As I stated above, the firmware doesn't change until you flash new firmware.
Flashing a new rom is not gonna overwrite the firmware, as it's done in fastboot, not in Recovery.
So if you flash a new rom, your firmware will not change and does not need to be flashed again until a newer one is posted.
A factory reset just resets your current rom to fresh install state, it doesn't effect firmware at all.
I have a Verizon HTC One. I have PAC Rom installed. It's the jelly beam version. I tried flashing the paranoid android kit Kat beta. After installing I would get no service completely and when going to settings and into networks, I clicked something and it said there was no sim card. so I went back to my backed up jelly bean PAC rom. then I tried installing the new PAC ROM (kit Kat) with the same results, no service, no Sim. ( note: when flashing it failed to flash the PAC ROM m7vzw, but it did flash just PACm7 with no specific service provider).
Any help? I'd love to use kit Kat
Hi,
It would probably have been better for you to post this in the Verizon HTC One forum - I've asked the mod team assigned to this forum to move it there for you
If you flash a kk rom you should also flash kk firmware to your phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46506621
How would I use that with PAC ROM though.

It's firmware....not software.
You would use it the same as you use any firmware.
Just follow the install guide.

updated the firmware using the non boot.img option on that link.
I installed PAC rom again (kit kat) and still no service and says insert sim card.
I noticed my baseband version is unknown.
Also I did not do a clean wipe and fresh install, I just installed the rom as an updated nightly from a previous pac rom
tried a fresh wipe and install and still no luck, no service, no sim card
and used the m7 not the m7vzw pac install because it fails when flashing the m7vzw..
Any suggestions? I tried updating the radios again and still no service.
Would it be worth it to completely wipe, go to stock, let it run the update from verizon. then re s-off and root ?
Another thought, I can only run TWRP 2.6.3.2, I have tried 2.6.3.3 and 2.7.0.0, when I flash those, it does not go into recovery, it fails and goes into the regular boot. So then I have to fastboot 2.6.3.2 back to get into recovery...
You flashed a Gsm Rom on your Cdma phone.
That's why you have no service and no baseband.
At this point, I suggest you flash stock rooted Rom and stock recovery.
Then in settings of stock Rom, perform a factory reset to restore your NV radio partitions.
Only stock recovery will fix this.
Then you must flash a recovery for the Verizon HTC One and a Rom for the Verizon HTC One and you should be fine...
Don't flash roms for other variants.
Back up anything you want saved from the storage, it will be wiped clean.

Interesting, Not sure how that happened. Before I do that, should I be installing a 4.3 rom or a 4.4. Most 4.4 says you need TWRP 2.6.3.3 or hire, the latest that is working is 2.6.3.2, when I flash the newer versions they fail to boot to recovery.
Are you sure your using the correct recovery for this phone? Try flashing this one http://vzw1files.dyndns.org/RECOVERIES/twrp/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.1-m7wlv.img

I have been using the TWRP for VZW, that is WLV..
Yeah for some reason it never got renamed. wlv is for this phone. Some time ago all the twrps for this phone were called wlv, but somewhere along the way it was brought up that that was confusing and they changed it to vzw. For some reason on 2.7.0.1 it was left with wlv. But i guarantee that that is the correct recovery for this phone, im running it right now.
Here are all the recoveries available http://vzw1files.dyndns.org/RECOVERIES/.
Product device name in build prop is m7wlv. That's what HTC named the Verizon variant. Which is why twrp most likely stuck with it.
I rooted stock 4.4.2 rom by:
1. flashing cwm recovery 6.48.4 using odin.
2. flashing desamsungizer knox removal script using recovery.
3. flashing supersu update 2.0.zip
I get root successfully but when i flash any custom rom , it has wifi issues . It only saves password but do not connect. It seems like broken wifi.
after flashing stock 4.4.2. wifi works again well.
please help...
Update: I have also noticed that imei is also blank after flashing custom rom.
here is some information.
1. I am on 4.4.2 stock NI1 firmware.
2. I have tried rooting using cf auto root and by flashing custom recovery to deknox and then flash supersu update.zip.

today i flashed dn4 rom , wifi and imei both working well.
so the problem of wifi is only with non touchwiz roms only if you have been updated to kitkat bootloader.
Is anybody else facing same issue?
any help
hi guys - so i tried to install the revolution rom on my recently unlocked m9 and it'd only boot to the bootloader or download.
i found some threads back from 2012 that said twrp wouldn't install the rev rom, but suspect it's out of date - it seemed to work fine.
is there some magic here? i tried to flash my firmware to the version matching the rom (3.35.401.12) and got a code 10 failure in adb. my current firmware is 3.10.605.7. doesn't flashing the rom update the firmware too? or do i need to successfully flash the rom prior?
should i use a different recovery? twrp launched the rev aroma installer and all seemed to go perfectly smoothly... no problems came up until reboot brought me right back to bootloader.
the aroma install says it might boot loop a couple times, but i booted to bootloader 5+ times before giving up and going back to a deodexed stock vzw rom.
any help is greatly appreciated - i'm hoping to get up to marshmallow before calling it good enough and moving on.
Flashing the rom doesnt update the firmware. S-on makes sure of that.
You must be on the base firmware for the rom to take. You need the vzw marshmallow ota update before you can flash a marshmallow based rom.

I have tried about 5 different roms, some of them cannot be booted, some of them have issue when booted, some of them don't recognize the wifi module for this phone.
Then I stop trying the custom roms and try to find stock roms.
but any stock rom above 5.0 have wifi issue so I try to find 4.4.2 stock roms.
There are some 4.4.2 stock rom zips but they are all corrupted zips.
The only thing that works currently is SVHD+v1.2. But It's also modified, not stock.
Is there any uncorrupt stock 4.4.2 rom for twrp to zip? The variant is a5_dug
