HTC Sensation HBoot 1.27, S-ON, Won't flash Roms - NEED HELP! :-(

Hey everyone!
Basically I've got the HTC sensation (H Boot 1.27) & what happened was...
I rooted the phone & got clockwork mod recovery on it also without turning s-off.
Without backing up the rom (very silly of me) I did a full wipe on the phone to try flash a new rom but the rom wouldn't boot so I tried flashing a different rom & that wouldn't boot also so now i'm soo stuck & really neeed someone's help because I cant get the phone to work!
I was thinking that maybe someone who's on the same hboot as me could back up there system give it to me so i can try use there backup to start my phone?
Please XDA' people help me!
I'm willing to buy ANYONE a beer (via paypal) if they can help! :crying:

Flash the rom you want via clockwork, then when it's finished go to fastboot, connect the phone with usb to the computer and use ADB to flash the boot.img of the rom you just flashed

Flash boot.img from the ROM manually from fastboot.
Put the boot.img from the zip file to your adb folder.
Connect your phone in fastboot USB
Open a command window
cd to the adb folder
for example:
Code:
cd c:\android
Then type:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then type:
Code:
fastboot reboot

Enable smart flash and re-flash the rom
.. But don't do complete wipe.. Just do wipe of Dalvik + cache.. And re flash the rom
You won't lose a single spec of data and voila the WIFI works too

What did I do to my phone? Please help.

On a mac here. I think I got a bit over my head here with the 2.20 root. I did all of the bootloader unlocking successfully, installed TWRP, and then downloaded CM10, and flashed the boot.img.
Now when trying to boot the phone I get stock on the screen with "This Build is for development only."
I can get into recovery, but don't really know what to do from there. I'm trying to mount, but can't get the computer to recognize the device. Tried a factory reset and it failed. I'm not quite bricked, but sort of stuck and don't know what to do. I'd love to get CM10 working, but at least I want to be able to use my phone.
I'm pretty new to Android so sorry for newbishness.
Thanks anyone for your help.

Just to add, I'm getting the message "no OS installed" when trying to reboot in recovery.

Did you flash the boot.img first, then the ROM?
Can you wipe System?

Sorry, what's the difference betwwen boot.img and the rom itself? I only flashed boot.img. I did wipe the system.

The boot.img has the kernel in it. If you didn't flash the CM10.zip you have no operating system.
Wipe System, and Factory Reset
Flash boot.img
Flash the CM10.zip, flash google apps, and you should be good after that

Now flash the rom zip from recovery (twrp)
Sent from a slithery smooth phone!

So to flash the zip file for the ROM and gapps, I just enter fastboot flash boot 'rom.zip' or 'gapps.zip'?
Also, what do I do after I've flashed them?
Thanks so much for your help

no,you flash the boot.img in fastboot, and then you flash the rom.zip and gapps.zip from recovery (twrp)

No, do a clean wipe.
boot your phone into fastboot
download the fastboot files http://www.mediafire.com/?4dx982z93w8z7wk and extract them to your desktop
on your computer, open up cmd and type
cd desktop
cd foldername (the folder that has fastboot.exe)
fastboot flash boot boot.img
reboot into recovery
flash CM10, flash gapps, reboot

I see. The problem is that I seem to be unable to mount my phone and sd card through recovery.

Trying to push the zips using adb using './adb push cm10.zip/sdcard' but when I enter this command in terminal it seems to just reload adb, and not push the file.

I think you are typing the command wrong
./adb push file /destination
or ./adb push cm10.zip /mnt/sdcard
./adb push cm10.zip /sdcard
whatever the mount point is for the sdcard

Tried that too. It just reloads the opening adb dialogue.

does ./adb devices return your phone as connected?

Well, now it doesn't. Instead of reloading the adb dialogue now, when I try the push command it says device not found. Just came out of nowhere. How do I make it recognize the phone again?
Thanks for bearing with me here. I think I'm really close.

I'm not familiar with OS X and android, are there any specific drivers you may need to install?
Are you in your bootloader or recovery?

All necessary drivers were installed. The device was being recognized before, but for some reason isn't now. I'm stuck on the "This build is for development purposes only" screen now since I can't get into recovery or bootloader using adb now since the device isn't recognized...

Ok, I'm connected again somehow. Now just trying to figure out this pushing issue. Entered this command './adb push /android/cm10.zip /sdcard and it looked like it was working then said "failed to copy to /sdcard"

because it is probably at /mnt/sdcard

Successfully pushed the files. Of course, I've hit another problem. Trying to install the ROM through TWRP and it's failing. Same with Gapps. I'm seeing "unable to mount /sdcard" and unable to mount storage. I've already cleared cache, wiped system, factory reset/

Dead(?) device

Hi,
I have some serious problem with my Desire S. My recovery is probably broken, TWRP logo pops up but that the phone just reboots. After deleting cache and flashing new recovery I´m unable to boot my device, stuck on CM logo. My hardware keys never worked for booting to botloader. Is there any other way to recover my device? I tried fastboot reboot and adb after powering on the device but nothing.

Try to flash other recovery via fastboot and try to flash boot.img via fastboot too.

Can you post your boot info? Hboot?S-ON or S-OFF?
You can access fastboot?And write without errors?
Try 4ext recovery but first when you download check md5 for file.

Boot ur phone into fastboot and put the recovery.img inside ur fastboot folder on ur pc (make sure u rename ur recovery file "recovery.img) plug in ur phone and type this command.
fastboot boot recovery.img
See if that boot u into recovery then u can try flash a rom from there. I posted latest 4ext recovery in desire s general thread, look for that and try the above command using 4ext recovery

Unfortunately the recovery problem is not fixed. TWRP logo appears but that the phone reboots.
EDIT: I booted 4ext recovery in safe mode, wiped all and it fixed that. Thank you so much.

Relax no need to shout. lol. Go on fastboot and flash twrp. Then boot into recovery and select advanced rhen from there select terminal and choose any random folder. adb will now recognize your phone again so try to push the rom to /sdcard/

Thanks a lot
my problem got resolved.........
actually driver was the only problem which was not allowing ADB to detect device in RECOVERY mode, though device was detected in FASTBOOT mode
So I reinstall the driver to get ADB Interface installed in system> device manager
and then followed your remaining steps i.e. 6 onwards
Thanks a lot again.....

You can use adb commands to boot into fastboot mode. Check Google for instructions.

According to what he said open a terminal and type adb reboot-bootloader
But u must have adb drivers installed. But without booting into Android I don't think ADB will work
If this does not work try booting into recovery and check if ADB works. Good luck!

PC can read my internal storage when i reboot to recovery mode [[in this case i'm using TWRP, i'm not sure whether stock recovery is readable too]] as long as the usb driver have installed on my PC .
Try it, if you can acces your internal storage on your PC, you can download your device ROM and flash it via recovery .
