What kernel to fix wi-fi issue?

[Guest pina]

Hi,

I tried to root my friend's Desire and on 1 day, we had all the problems there could have been with the rooting process, including all kind of bootloops, wrong wipes, using wrong sdk-kit, usb brick, usb-unbrick etc etc... It's just like an season of 24 where all s*** can occur on 1 day :)

Now, we finally got the usb unbricked again and just went into recovery, flashing MCR3.1 with the online kitchen. Flashing the MCR3.1 went well, but there's 1 probem: the Wifi was broken. It didn't work with the MCR3.1. I remember having the problem too, and I read that it was due to a kernel-problem. So I downloaded the custom kernel: http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-desi...for-htc-desire/ and my Wifi was fixed again.

BUT I tried the same at my friend's Desire, downloading the same kernel, but once booting, I got stuck at the HTC Logo, the one without the 'quietly brilliant'-slogan... I restored the nandroid backup and could boot again, but again, no wifi enabled. Then I tried to flash the same zip on my phone, and my wifi DOES work with that rom. So there's nothing wrong with the rom.

I went to compare the software versions, and the only thing that differs is the kernel, which should be the reason why his wifi is broken:

his desire:

my desire:

So, the solution is to flash a compatible kernel, but like i said before, the one from modaco: http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-desi...for-htc-desire/

doesn't work, the phone just hangs at the htc logo... What's wrong...? And I thought the custom kernel was included into the 3.1 rom?

come'on people? I can't believe no one could help me with this issue??

First install MCR3.1 custom rom. If that doesnt fix it then install mcr oc v14 kernel and it should solve the problem.

Have you tried different radio?

I already installed MCR3.1, but from the custom kitchen, do you think the one from the kitchen does not include some kernel stuff compared to the 'full' MCR3.1?

mcr oc 14-kernel, is that kernel overlocked? I don't want to overclock, can harm the cpu and maybe drain the battery some more I guess?

Have you tried different radio?

yes, he got a newer radio at first, then downgraded the radio to the same as mine (cfr screenshots). Everything now is the same, except the kernel version...

Upgrade radio to newest version. Then flash mcr3.1 without addons.
