[q] pls help!!!! Bricked phone

I used a HTC desire s... HTCdev bootloader unlocked s-on and rooted ...
This morning, was checking google play when i found a FONT INSTALLER app. i decided to try it. After installation, i opened it to use a font on their server, i backed up the stock font. after applying the font, my phone freezed up so i decided to restart maybe dat would fix it.
I rebooted and my fone got stucked at the "HTC quietly brilliant" bootscreen... i tried doing factory reset. I loaded bootloader then selected factory reset. i was directed to 4ext. I didnt get the reset cos it keeps stucking up at the same screen. So i decided to wipe.. I selected the "WIPE ALL PARTITION XCEPT SD CARD" :'(
...
Now my Phone doesnt boot up. After the first "HTC (without the quietly brilliant)" shows up... the screen goes dark till....
....
Pls i need help on how to put my phone back on.
GURUs in the house PLEASSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Funny problem you have
What it shall boot? You have wiped everything from it, so there are no files.
I guees you have not make a Nandroid backup, so copy some ROM to your SDcard and flash it from 4EXT.
DO NOT forget to flash the boot.img afterwards

Tanks for your reply..
But pls can u make it clearer. I don have any backup... The only backup i have are my apps, non for the system files.
I can also get the RUU ICS ROM i downloaded from HTCdev. Can i do something with this? Thanks,

If you was on ICS go here and skip right to B) section.
If you was on GB go here and pick the version you was before. As if you was on Sense 2.1 you would flash RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.47.401.4_signed_prerooted. If you was on Sense 3.0 then your pick will be HTC_Europe_2.10.401.8_deodexed_prerooted
Or just flash a custom ROM, there is plenty of choise. I would recommend Desire XS

May Almighty ALLAH replenish your knowlegde (Cos i can see u"re a muslim from your username)
Pls would the flashing be from 4ext or my pc using cmd? I have this pacman rom i downloaded sometimes ago, i tried "install from zip" as 4ext states it.. Its still not booting!

Well Allah has nothing to do with my nickname, but thank you anyway since I believe all religions worship the same God.
And it is not booting because you have missed an important step:

Copy the ROM from your Sdcard to the PC. Open it and extract the boot.img that you will find inside. Then flash it with a command from your PC (you can search the forum how exactly).
And if still does not boot then you will be one of the lucky guys with the Hitachi panel so you will have to try a Sense ROM. Download, flash through the recovery, flash the boot.img as described above

Congratulations
I am using it for some time now I had no bugs, reboots. You can read the feedback of the users in the ROM's thread and then decide.
Just remember: when you are S-ON you have to flash the boot.img separately from fastboot for ANY new ROM that you are installing!

It would not because you have to lock the bootloader first. Better go back to post #4 and read the first line again. It will save you the trouble to unlock and flash a recovery again.

You can try to unlock via htcdev.com and flash twrp recovery & a stock rom.

Bootloader must be locked!
Rename the Orange zip to PL80IMG.zip, copy it to external sdcard, boot your phone to bootloader and let it search for files to update. It will ask you, if you wat to flash the zip, confirm with Vol+ and follow the instructions

Ok so rooted and s-off'd my HTC one m8 using sunshine....put a custom Rom on it for a while....then put stock back on...well now I wanna put a custom on again....so I went throught the steps. Well when I go to put my identifier token through HTC dev, it says it's not correct or too long. Why is it doing it now and what can I do?

Ummm, not sure what you were doing, but just flash a custom recovery and install the zip from there.

But the boot loader is locked

Once you are s-off'ed you don't need to unlock your bootloader again.

Seriously? I didn't realize that...

The bootloader is locked, you'll have to unlock it first. If you just follow the guide on how to unlock the bootloader that has been posted in this forum, you should get it done easily.

If the system install let you flash dev rom with Mi Flash it will be easy.

looks like i can still connect to it in the command prompt and reflash twrp but cant boot into it. it just goes into fastboot mode no matter what i do.

Did your device come with the Global ROM? Is your bootloader unlocked?

update: nvm, i think i figured it out. just created a folder called log inside the miflash folder and that seemed to fix it. it sees my device i think. so i just gotta download the fastboot rom and flash yes? crossing my fingers.

I've always had a sneaking suspicion that this adrenaline rush is part of the attraction of flashing roms. In ten years, or whatever it is now since the MT3G arrived, I've never bricked a device, but I still get the high!
