It isn't a risk free process, you must first consider that.
You'll initially need to first S-OFF your phone, read sticky guides for instructions on how to do this and then install one of he many custom ROMS that you'll find in the development forum, there are more than three that now offer Sense 3.0.
Install Virtuous Unity ROM from here.
Very fast, stable ROM with Sense 3.
Peace
thanks guys,
try to install Virtuous Unity ROM. But than I have the get my device S-off.
So I've read the sticky and because I have an 1.47.401.4 ROM (HBOOT 0.98.0002) I followed the guide from slvrbllt.
But the problem is always that I can't manage this step.
/data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start FAA90000 -end FFFFFFFF (you should be kicked off adb shell and get back to your command prompt)
My pc can't find the file ???
How do I fix this problem ? Or is there an easyer way to s-off your device?
Thanks a lot

Use alpharevx
That should easily S-Off ur device

This is an easy way....
Can you provide a cut n paste of the command prompt session......so I can attempt to assist...
here is the command prompt of my pc.
translation of 'Het systeem kan het pad niet vinden' --> System can't find the pathway.
Hope you can help ;D

It looks to me that the contents of the fre3vo.zip file that you should have downloaded and un-zipped aren't in the same directory that you are running the command in?
For example if you were to :
Code:
cd c:\temp
unzip the fre3vo.zip file into c:\temp
then run the following listed commands from within that directory there
EDIT:
I've also just seen that the command
Code:
/data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start FAA90000 -end FFFFFFFF
should not have the ending (you should be kicked off adb shell and get back to your command prompt) comment included
thanks ;D
So I unzip frev3vo in :C/temp and also the "android-win-tools" to :C/temp ?
Than I just run the command prompt on my desktop
What do you mean with cd :C/temp ?
or can I also just run the revolutionary programm ?
Man, this all is confusing. With windows mobile it was easy to flash roms, but hé widows mobile was also so bad
I think revolutionary supports 0.98.0002 hboot already, so you should be able to get S-OFF with it.
Currently testing Coredroid Sense 3.0 Android 2.3.5. It's not far off!

The entire contents of the android-win-tools.zip file should be put into your C:\Windows directory
You then lauch a command Prompt on your PC
in which you type
Code:
cd c:\temp
You should Unzip frev3vo.zip and copy the file frev3vo into C:\temp
and then run the remaining commands within the command shell which is set in C:\temp
Code:
adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo
adb shell
/data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start FAA90000 -end FFFFFFFF
adb shell
exit
and then follow the GUIDE by running revolutionary....
ok i'am no trying with the revolutionary programm, but again a problem
I tried this (from sticky)
S-OFF your phone using Windows:
1. Download Revolutionary tool for Windows from http://revolutionary.io/ (Keep the browser open)
2. Extract the zip file to a new folder.
3. Connect phone to your computer and make sure that Debugging Mode is enabled on your phone.
4. Open the new folder and right click on "revolutionary.exe" and select run as administrator.
5. Follow steps from Step 11 above.
WARNING: S-OFF your device will void your phone's warranty. You will need to turn it back to S-ON for warranty. (I don't have a guide to make it back to S-ON right now, so do it as you wish).
But when I open the programm, i see a 'command prompt' for a second and the it's gone....???
What mode should your desire be in ? I tried charging, diskdrive and htc sync...
I downloaded the revolutionary 0.4 pre4.
Someone who knows what's wrong ?
Try running the program from inside the command prompt, it probably shows some sort of an error and immediately closes due to windows settings.

As @Evilmystic above said Run the Command Prompt "As Administrator" so that you can type the commands into it and as before unzip the revolutionary files into c:\temp and run from there
Ensure that If you have HTC-Sync installed then un-install the application from your PC.
You'll see a link in my signature HTC Drivers download and install that.
Now try again!

Now I have to do this
DO NOT disconnect or switch your device off!!
o Now that your phone has temporary root access, launch Revolutionary and follow instructions on screen.
o In a matter of seconds you will see the new HBOOT in place
o You may want to answer Y when prompted whether to install CWM or not. It will install the new 4.0.1.4 version of the tool.
o Download the attachment below and flash it via CWM. It will install su and Superuser.apk. Restart your phone and you'll end up with a rooted stock rom.
I answered Y
I dowloaded the atchachment but how do I flash it with cwm? Do I have to reboot wit fashboot usb ?

DO NOT USE THIS IF YOUR PHONE CAME WITH GINGERBREAD Or newer Software. Use the Ace Hack Kit for DHD
How to downgrade to 1.32.405.6 WWE
HTC - Quietly S-OFF. Again.
About:
The problems started when HTC released their 1.72.405.3 OTA update. That update could not be rooted, and many people got stuck in stock roms. Now a downgrade method has arrived! After this process, you can use any root (+ S-OFF) method you want. Basically your device will be just like any other Desire HD with older build version. Downgrading will completely reset your device to factory defaults, so remember to back up all important data (such as contacts, game saves and sms messages).
System requirements:
HTC Sync (or ADB drivers)
Desire HD with build number 1.72 or higher
[Warning] Telus DHDs may lose sound because the 1.32.405.6 is not fully compatible with the sound chip. Just start using a custom ROM, and it will work fine.
How to downgrade:
Section 1
Disable any antivirus software
If you have a branded / regional (like Indian or Vodaphone) device, you have to make a Goldcard. Use "mmc2" instead of "mmc1"!!
Download the attached file and extract it
Get stock 1.32 PD98IMG.zip ROM, mirror
Put the PD98IMG.zip into your SD card. Do not put it into a folder, and do not extract it.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Section 2a [For Froyo ROMs, 1.7x and 1.8x]
Connect Desire HD to a computer. Charge only, USB Debugging enabled!
Open up a cmd and go to Downgrade folder, execute commands:
Code:
adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/psneuter
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell /data/local/tmp/psneuter
adb shell
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Section 2b [For Gingerbread ROMs, 2.x]
Connect Desire HD to a computer. Charge only, USB Debugging enabled!
Open up a cmd and go to Downgrade folder, execute commands:
Code:
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell
./data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start FBB00000 -end FFFFFFFF

Click to collapse
Section 3
If you got "#" in the result, you have temporary root! Proceed with commands:
Code:
cd /data/local/tmp
./misc_version -s 1.31.405.6
Close the CMD. Reboot while holding volume down, it will go to the bootloader
Follow the instructions (start the update)
Done. You can now click my thanks button! Proceed with old S-OFF methods, and remove the PD98IMG.zip from your SD. I recommend Radio S-OFF for new users.

Downloadcount for Downgrade package v1 is 15808, and for v2 it is 32012.
FAQ:
Q: Will I lose all my settings and applications?
- Yes, so make a backup with MyBackup Pro.
Q: I have done Radio S-OFF and SuperCID, do I need this?
- No, with those you do not need this kind of trickery.
Q: I have flashed a custom ROM with e.g. 1.84 build number, do I need this?
- No, with ClockworkMod you can jump between builds freely.
Q: It says '#' but I still cannot use root applications!
- That is normal, this method only gives root in command line. Just go ahead and downgrade.
Q: Is my phone Froyo or Gingerbread?
- Check it in Settings -> About -> Software information -> Android version. 2.2 is Froyo and 2.3 is Gingerbread.
Q: How do I navigate to downgrade folder?
- You can read this short and easy explanation.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Troubleshooting:
- "Main version is older"? You did not type everything correctly. Please try it again and see if any errors come up.
- "Error opening backup file"? You did not use "Charge only" -connection, or your SD card is faulty.
- "CID mismatch/CID incorrect"? Your device is branded. Just make a Goldcard, put the PD98IMG.zip to the card again and go to the bootloader.
- "Model ID incorrect"? Some Telus DHDs get this, just make a Goldcard.
- "Failed to set prot mask (Inappropriate ioctl for device)"? Use Gingerbread method to downgrade.
- Zip will not load in bootloader? Format your SD card to FAT32, no quick format! You can also try another SD.
- Problems while making Goldcard? See this post.

Look:

but you should use DHD RUU (not desire Z) and lower version numer (since unbranded rootable version for DHD is 1.32.405.6)
Great work to everyone involved, now finally those lame "root doesn't work" posts will vanish
Excellent
So has any one tried it?
Got temp root trying to flash old ruu...lets see
I have temproot working. Currently downloading the RUU file on my REALLY slow internet...
I think there is a couple of small errors?
cd /data/local/tmp
./misc-version -s 1.31.405.3
should be
cd /data/local/tmp/
./misc_version -s 1.31.405.3
also, the psneuter is a .txt file, just remove the .txt extension to use the file.

You still will not have permanent root of 1.72/1.75! but this does allow you to downgrade and attain root on older Firmware

That is right. The psneuter gives temporary root, but as scotty2 said, it kind of shoots the current rom in the head while doing that..

People like this annoy me. As the OP already stated, he can't downgrade with s-on. Just because YOU did, doesn't mean he can. His stock RUU is too new (1.47) and there is no exploit to get temp root yet for this RUU, so downgrading is not possible.
Agreed, he should use the search function, there are about 3 threads of people trying to s-off their 1.47 device. But in his defence, all 3 of those threads are filled with morons like yourself telling people they can do it. Newsflash, you can't.... yet
I'm waiting to :-(

Hi Evilier.
I just have few questions regarding to your phone, since its one of the "new" software, do you have the Wi-Fi Death Grip? More info can be found here.
And can you tell me which of the v1.47 do you have? Which country I mean.
Well this is going to be a stretch, since you're on the "new" phones software version, can you update/RUU to the latest (RUU_Saga_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.48.707.1_Radio_20.28I.30.0 85AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199476_signed)? Then double check if you still have the so could Wi-Fi Death Grip. Thanks a lot.
+ 1 for a method to unlock/root the "new " firmware. Please devs do your magic

If all goes well, you'll be kicked back to your computer's command prompt.
run 'adb shell' and you should have a '#' prompt instead of $
6. cd /data/local/tmp

From here you can then install the update/downgrade from the ruu exe for your phone from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002506
then you can just follow the alpharevx instructions as normal because you will be able to run gingerbreak etc, this works on the latest updates as i couldnt use gingerbreak to downgrade due to the vodafone uk update and i am now on a custom rom and s offed

Thanks for the tip. But I'm a little confused at step 5. I'm the ultimate Android noob so please excuse my stupidity, but what exactly did the step mean by "Run the binary via 'adb shell /data/local/tmp/fre3vo"?
How exactly does one "run the binary? I typed in the 'adb shell /data/local/tmp/fre3vo' command for this step and I get
fre3vo by #teamwin
Please wait...
At this point I can't type anything and actually waited...but after about 15 minutes, nothing is happening. Could you point me in the right direction?

You appear to be doing exactly the correct thing...just be patient...(although I admit it does say a few minutes).
See this refined guide....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16104882&postcount=16
I'd be tempted to reboot the phone and start at the beginning again, (although the first two steps may well error as the files will be already there - ignore that and proceed).
first of all many thanks for all the guides, secondly i've followed all the steps and everything works fine but when i run the .exe to actually downgrade it always says that i'm under 30% of phone charge (battery is fully loaded). I made a gold card and everything also... strange..

Just grasping at straws here....Try to fully charge the battery and then power down device and remove the battery, allow both the battery and the device to cool down.
Try again.
Now, again I'm not sure but a full factory reset from HBOOT may remove the existing battery stats....so you could try that?

I will not supply the necessary files that is needed, you MUST know how to use SEARCH. I also suggest to give THANKS to those who originally made/uploaded the files.
Requirements:
Common Sense
- it helps A LOT
HTC Sync for Desire S - Installed
- for its drivers and such, or you may just install the "naked" drivers
Android Windows Tools - Installed
- for adb, fastboot commands
HTC-Dev unlocked
- to change recovery and ROM
Custom recovery
- to flash Root Access
SuperSU or SuperUser flashable zip
- to have Root Access
Root Access
- to change phone version
misc_version file (attached)
- file needed to change phone version
GoldCard
- to flash any version of RUUs
RUU executable file
- to DOWN/UPgrade

Quick tip:
Copy-Paste the cmd codes for you to not have any problem. 1 typo error (extra digit on misc_version) will render your phone unable to RUU.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Preparations
a. Create a folder "downsaga" on your C:
b. Copy misc_version, recovery.img(custom) on that folder.
c. Copy SuperSU's or SuperUser's flashable zip to your SD card.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Creating a Gold Card (use below or attn1's GoldCard Method)
a. Install Goldcard Helper from the market on your phone
b. Run it and copy the CID for MMC2, or email the info to yours
c. This number has already been reversed so go to http://psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard, fill out the required fields.
d. Download the image file that was emailed to you.
e. Connect phone as a "Disk drive" using USB cable.
f. Use Gold Card Tool to flash your image file to your phone's SD card. (you might need to reformat it first with Panasonic's SD Formatter)
g. Disconnect safely from the PC.
NOTE:Your sd card is now a GoldCard unless you reformat it again. You should now be able to RUU to any version you would like given that the bootloader is LOCKED.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Unlocking the bootloader
a. Go to htcdev.com/bootloader
b. Proceed and follow every step on the guide
c. You just need to install Android Windows Tools files for it. No need to download the SDK and JAVA.
d. Once done, boot on bootloader and you should be able to notice if its UNLOCKED.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Flashing Custom Recovery
a. The phone must be on bootloader, then go to fastboot
b. Open up command prompt then type:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery C:\downsaga\recovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
d. Access recovery
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Flashing Root Access
a. Flash SuperSU or SuperUser
b. Reboot the phone normally
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Modifying the version of your phone
a. Connect the phone using USB cable using "Charge ONLY" and USB Debugging is ON.
b. Open command prompt and input these codes:
Code:
adb push C:\downsaga\misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell
su
cd /data/local/tmp
./misc_version -s 1.27.405.6
exit
adb reboot-bootloader
c. Your phone should now be read as the version you've placed there (but not visible to settings)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Locking the bootloader
a. You should be on fastboot
c. In cmd use this command to lock the bootloader:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
c. You might receive an error message on your CMD but don't mind it. The phone should restart itself automatically on bootloader, and you should be able to notice at the top saying "***RE-LOCKED***", and might also has *Security Warning*. Just ignore.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Downgrading
a. Make sure you are still on fastboot with the above message.
b. Open the RUU that you've chosen to install on your phone
c. The RUU must detect your phone version as 1.27.405.6
d. If you have received errors, then you've done something wrong. Review everything that you've done and check the guide again.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If everything went well, you should have successfully downgraded your phone and your HBOOT.
Hey man it seems you did it! So HTC official unlocker can be handy after all.
Great job! I assume that now you will use Revolutionary to gain S-OFF and back to flashing?

And howto flash your hboot in recoverymode
Use flash_image to flash your hboot to older version.
flash_image /dev/block/mmcblk0p18 )(path to an older hboot file)

Why would you use such an obsolete method to make a gold card?
after temproot,
windows batch script ( example filename: gc.cmd ):
Code:
adb push goldcard /data/local/tmp/
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/goldcard
adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc2/mmc2:*/cid > tcid
set/p cid= < tcid
del tcid
adb shell /data/local/tmp/goldcard -c %cid% -o /data/local/tmp/goldcard.img
adb shell dd if=/data/local/tmp/goldcard.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk1
Linux shell script (example filename: gc.sh ):
Code:
adb push goldcard /data/local/tmp/
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/goldcard
cid=`adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc2/mmc2:*/cid`
adb shell /data/local/tmp/goldcard -c $cid -o /data/local/tmp/goldcard.img
adb shell dd if=/data/local/tmp/goldcard.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk1
get the android goldcard binary here:
Thanks to Revskills for the algorythm and to GenePoole for the Android binary.

No way is it easier or noob proof. When I used this method on the Ace Hack Kit goldcard errors dropped to none. Since you are already running adb commands and pushing crap to the phone, what's the big deal with this?
With this, there is no need for hacky tools, not mounting/dismounting the sdcard (risking corruption from unflushed write buffers and improper dismounts), and no need to go to the revskills website.
This runs in about a second and it's done.

I believe that that is based on your preference. Which I observed really knows a lot about adb.
And what is in the guide is based on my own preference. Which for me does not know much about adb.
They still can follow which ever method they would like.
Well, it would still give us the same result. Having a GoldCard.

Mine is based on real results after thousands of uses of the Ace Hack Kit, which formerly did things the obsolete way.
Yours is based on preference.
But you are right, either way will result in a goldcard if executed properly.

You're welcome.
Make a note that those are the contents of a script - .cmd or .sh.
FYI, if you try this to make the goldcard image, the one generated should match the md5 of one you got from Revskills.
Once you do it this way, you will never go back.
@Scanob
Since you change your guide in step 6 to run RUU instead of PG88IMG.zip than the Goldcard is no longer needed isn't it?

I don't know how to find this official recovery.img. (Yes I try to find it...)

Getting the Official files
a. Download the HTC_EUROPE_2.10.401.5 RUU file.
b. Run the file and do not close
c. Go to your temp folder on your computer and find the rom.zip file.
d. Copy it somewhere else.
e. Extract the rom.zip and you should now have the official .img files from the RUU.
f. Use the respective files needed for the guide.
or the files is here (files exrtract from HTC_EUROPE_2.10.401.5 RUU file)
Boot.img : http://www.multiupload.com/JME2WRDQEQ
recovery.img : http://www.multiupload.com/MX64VDUICI
SEEMS TO WORK ONLY WITH VERSIONS THAT GOT THEIR UPDATE BEFORE NOVEMBER (EUROPE SHOULD WORK, ASIA/INDIA I DO NOT KNOW!!!)
IF THERE IS A NEW TEMPROOT EXPLOIT AVAILABLE IT SHOULD WORK FOR NEWER VERSIONS ALSO
okay now more in detail
first you have to know that you will loose all data on your system, please backup bevor doing anything!!
what you will need:
- misc_version http://www.thinkthinkdo.com/trac/project1/wiki/misc_version
this will change your version information on your desire s later
- zergRush https://github.com/revolutionary/zergRush/downloads
this will give you temporary root privilieges (so that you can change the version number)
- phone
- chargecable
- adb-shell (see this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1272595)
- windows os on your pc
- RUU http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002506
--> please notice: if you have a branded device, use a branded RUU to downgrade!!
1. Connect your phone to your PC in debug mode (Set option in settings (application --> developer)
2. unzip the downloaded files in a folder (e.g. c:/Users/yourName/Downloads)
3. run the Terminal (Windowsbutton + R --> cmd) and change into the folder where the files are (change folder with 'cd')
4. now type to the terminal (every line is one command!)
adb push zergRush /data/local/tmp
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/zergRush
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
now type
adb shell
cd /data/local/tmp/
./zergRush
--> now adb shell closes and restarts, instead of having a $ you have a # which means root
5. now type
adb shell /data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 1.27.405.6
--> this will change your version information
6. now you can doubleclick on the privous downloaded RUU and follow the steps. it may tell you from going down from version 2.xx to 1.xx but it is possible.
7. phone reboots and when it is up again you should have android 2.3.3 hboot 0.98.0000 S-ON
8. now just download revolutionary from http://revolutionary.io and create a beta key and start programm
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
if it was helpful, please use the thanks button!!
(i'm newbie) i don't understand step 3..
This Howto describes how to get down from hboot 2.00.0002 to 0.98.0000
without using htcdev unlock
Requirements:
- misc_version
- zergRush from xda)
- Desire S
- adb-shell (HTC Sync contains it i think)
- RUU from earlier Version 1.28.401.1 RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.080 5U_38.03.02.11_M_release_177977_signed.exe - download now for free. File sharing. Software file sharing. Free file hosting. File upload. FileFactory.com
1. connect phone with chargecable, debug mode on, only charge
2. start terminal (Windows+R --> cmd)
cd .. (so on)
go in to the folder where zergRush and misc_version are
3.
type following
adb push zergRush /data/local/tmp
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/zergRush
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell /data/local/tmp/zergRush
4. when u got from $ to # (which means root) type the following
adb shell /data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 1.27.405.6
5. your desire s thinks its a version earlier
6. dobleclick the RUU und follow the steps
--ATTENTION YOU LOOSE YOUR DATA -- PLEASE BACKUP!!!
7.phone reboots with hboot 0.98.0000 S-On
8. follow the other steps from revolutionary to get s-off
PS: i tried the other way around and i am successful s-on again! (so no loss of warranty)
Is there anyone else who tried this method?
3 people in german android-hilfe.de forum.
but some seem to have problems when their desire is branded (dont know if the use branded ruu or not)
Hi,
Im reall sorry if im being stupid but what is misc_version?
It is a script that lets u change the Version on your phone. I will look for one

What's the difference between using the misc_version here to "change" your version compared to getting your phones misc version .img from "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 of=/mnt/sdcard/mmcblk0p17.img" and then altering it and re uploading it?
To my understanding the one uploaded just patches your misc version where the other one you do it manually.
Or am I so lost I should go home?
should work either. but with the script it is easier, isnt it?
Because its easier for newbies to understand and your way uses more adb
Not that many people understand adb
Thanks, was just wondering.

It is not wise to link a specific RUU, since there are already new versions for all regions (Europe, Asia, etc.) and soon the branded will join also.
However a link to the sticky Stock ROMs thread should be handy

Hello,
I'm aware, that this problem might have been reported in that or a similar case, but to be honest with you, there are so many different guides now, that i don't know which to follow. Some guides did nothing while for others files were required that are not specified correctly or not available anymore.
I try to describe as best as I can to tell you what I did, so maybe someone can see what my error was and how I might be able to fix it, or at least point me in a direction.
1st: I followed this guide to get root rights: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390496
2nd: This guide, in order to install the ClockworkMod Recovery: http://www.androidauthority.com/desire-s-root-s-off-hboot-2-00-0002-superoneclick-74470/
3rd: I tried to install the Cyanogen mod: cm-7.2.0-saga.zip through the ClockworkMod Recovery console. (No I didn't backup...[Please don't tell me how stupid that was, I know it already])
The effect of these actions is, that I can see the HTC logo on a white background, but nothing happens afterwards.
4.th tried to install update-cm-7.1.0-DesireS-signed.zip, but didn't work either
5th: Nothing worked, so I tried to go back to the stock version using this RUU:
RUU_Saga_O2_UK_1.31.206.2_R_Radio_20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.14_M_release_180220_signed.exe long story short, it didn't work. It did find my phone but it didn't work: found version "2.13.206.1" going to version "1.31.206.2".
RUU
Security Fail!
Update Fail!
I feel like I'm only 5-10 minutes away from achieving what I wanted in the first place, but due to 100 of guides I can't find the right one for my device to 1. s-off or 2. Go back to the original version.
Can someone help me please?
Some facts about my phone:

Since you have used htcdev you should flash the kernel (boot.img) that you can find in the custom Rom zip archive. There are instructions about this in almost each custom ROM thread.
So flash CyanogenMod again from recovery then reboot to bootloader and flash the kernel. It will work after that

That was indeed the "droid" Help I was Looking for
close your phone (or simply remove battery),
connect usb cable to pc,
press volume down and power at the same time,
select fastboot,
than exract boot.img file from zip file that you put sd card ( in kernel/saga/boot.img )
copy img file to same directory with fastboot file
start -> cmd
go to directory with cd command
fastboot flash boot boot.img
than reboot
