Rather then go back wards why not go forwards?
Be careful not to quickly take out and replace your battery
Look at the INDEX sticky thread in the development Section http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1146601, there you should find
1) EXT4 recovery
2) pre rooted stock roms, use the latest version
(RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.47.401.4_Radio_20.28I.30.085 AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199410_signed_prerooted)
Download both to you PC then copy to your sd card.
Boot into recovery and first flash EXT4 zip file to install the new recovery
Then from recovery wipe cache, dalvik cache, data and system.
Then flash the ROM zip file and hopefully this should solve your problem
First boot will take longer than usual
I'm also curious as to why your bootloader screen days "meadow" I've never seen that before.

Thank you for your prompt response!
After I had written my post yesterday I took the battery out of my unit and put it in again and there after, the total death now I can not turn it on. so there is probably nothing more than to bring it back to warranty?

Bugger, when you say won't turn on, exactly what happens or doesn't happen?
Are you sure that the battery is charged (daft question) but had I ask
plug it in and see if the led lights

When I press the power button nothing happens .. no light in the LED phone is 80% power remaining.
I sent it for repair on warranty :-(

You need to follow the guides shown in this thread.
Look for this "How To: S-Off your device with Revolutionary: S-OFF & Recovery Tool" part of the guide.
Good luck....update this thread if you have any issues or problems....but first there is a lot of software that you'll need to download and some reading to do.

OK if i understand it right i wil do like this.
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.
11. It'll provide a key. Go back to the browser window where you downloaded Revolutionary tool - there's a form to fill out. Type in the key. It'll generate a second key. Type that key into the Terminal.
12. Make sure it says that everything is successful. It'll ask if you want to flash Clockwork. Type in "Y".
13. Once it shows success, reboot phone.
And root it hwit Gingerbreak right ?
Now you have CWM, so you don't have to use Gingerbreak, just flash su (http://goo-inside.me/superuser/su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip) from recovery. You may also want to flash 4EXT recovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130004) that will replace the one installed by Revolutionary.

CWM = Clock Work Mod, which is the type of Custom RECOVERY that we all use that enables us to flash custom ROMS etc, I'd recommend that you upgrade to the the EXT4 RECOVERY which is based on CWM but is more user friendly and constantly being improved.

You need to start following the advise that's being given, or at least inform us whether you've done the suggested steps...
For example two people have suggested that you now install EXT4 over CWM (RECOVERY) have you done this?

So basically download the files onto your SD card boot into recovery and then flash first the EXT4 file
Then flash the SU ZIP file (downloaded from below onto you SD card)

just flash su (http://goo-inside.me/superuser/su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip) from recovery.

No. I have not installed it yet I am unsure about which option I should choose .. Viere here until I booted up in recovery and is now in the picture Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4 and can choose:
aply update from sdcadr
Wipe data / factory reset
Wipe cache partition
install zip from sdcard
backup and restore
mounts and storage
advanced
power off
which option should I choose here?
Its is install zip from file right ?
copy both files to your SD card and then boot into recovery
and install both zip files using this option from CWM
install zip from sdcard

I have superuser on the phone and I have even install titanium backup and rum manager on the phone is not the pogrammer I need?
You wrote something about me to make a backup, you can explain more about it? do I need it before I start to mess with ROMs?

Check for super user, simply download ROM Manager (free) from android market and that will tell you.
A Backup (or a Nandroid backup or as you'll here it referred to) can be taken two ways:
1) from ROM Manager - easiest option (as it then boots device into recovery, backs up phone and then reboots again)
2) from recovery (EXT4) you need to take manually Backup option (although is good to know how to do this way)
Using both methods the backups will be stored on your SD card in clockworkmod/backup directory within date&time stamped folders

Hello,
First thanks to all who help and contribute to this forum, specially to attn1 and contributors to the Hack Kit.
I been playing with different ROMs to find one that suits me, I had been able to successfully follow the Hack Kit manual and root the phone and later install different ROMs.
I wanted to check out the new AT&T Stock ROM
RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_Cingular_US_2.47.502.7_Radio _12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M
and after installing it with the executable from HTC I have an issue with the Recovery Boot. When I press the Power+Down Volume as expected I go to the menu and got the following:
ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-0.85.0024
MICROP-0438
Radio-26.10.04.03_M
eMMC-boot
Apr 12 2011,00:55:45
and the HBOOT Menu.
If I click any key before movine the the options I got a meesages that says that the following files are missing or are not valid.
PD98DIAG.zip
PD98DIAG.nbh
PD98IMG.zip
PD98IMG.nbh
and then I can move between menus without problem, if I go back to the BOOTLOADER menu I get again the messages about the files.
If I try a recovery I got a error screen (I only tried one) that is like a cellphone with a red something on it.
I think I miss something or did something wrong while chaging ROMs or rooting the phone.
Can some describe me what is happening and how can I correct it?
Many thanks
Flashing the RUU deletes your ClockworkMod Recovery. Not sure if you can a temp root would allow you to flash CWR.
Edit- just realized that if you flash genes rom there is no need to go down to attn1 rom, my bad
Edit 2- heres the link to genes thread. the file is in post 4. download that rename it to PD98IMG. flash through hboot. now youll be on stock rooted and be able to reinstall CWR.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1191949
Apologize for the question, how do I flash through hboot, just copy the renamed file to the root of the SD Card and perform a recovery?
EDIT - Sorry, I just read Gene's post in full
This is an unsigned PD98IMG so you must have S-OFF and it will delete your data partition so backup (titanium
and nandroid just to be sure). All AT&T bloatware included.
Instructions: Download it, rename to PD98IMG.zip, copy it to your SDCARD, then boot into hboot (hold VOL-DOWN
and press POWER) then let hboot finish its check and then hit VOL-UP to install.
Many thanks!
in a sense yes. it'll look for the file as you stated in your first post. this time with th file there it will find it and ask if you want to apply it.
Ok so i needed to root after i updated to official ICS with the setup.
What i noticed i cant root with any known rooting method so i tried pushing root with recovery.
It turns out i have stock recovery and everytime i try installing zip it says signature verification failed.
So i found that i need flash custom recovery for that.
But i have found that flashing .img of recovery using CMD is not working.
So any ideas? I would really be thankfull i am trying for whole day and no succes.
You already asked the basic same question in this thread and Jack_R1 told you that you need to read and understand more. He is far more knowledgeable than I am, and I agree with him 100%
This has been answered countless times, so I am not going to ive you the answers again - go and search.
As pointers;-
1) Install ADB
2) Fastboot
3) Push Recovery
4) Flash Root
Now - go and read, understand and make sense of what, why and how.

I do read i do understand what to do, i read instructions, i fallow instructions but it just doesnt work for reasons usually and mostly not covered in the instructions...... So can you atleast try to help like for example give me link to set of instructions you know that works couse you used it or something similiar. Couse silencing me like saying go read is just not true, couse i am reasonably knowledgeble and i do read and usually do understand what i read it just doesnt work for some reason.
EXAMPLE:
one of methods to flash custom recovery i tried is this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1484753
Download the zip file attached and extract it anywhere .
Your phone needs to be in debugging mode and you need the lastest usb drivers instaled . ( HTC Sync )
Step 1 : Run Start Here.bat , a comand promt window will open.
Step 2 : Type in "adb reboot bootloader" . <This works on every rom , it will reboot in fastboot mod.>
Step 3 : After the phone rebooted in fastboot , type in "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.5-saga.img" .
Step 4 : You have your Touch Recovery flashed.
After doing so it just says:
unknown partition 'recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.5-saga.img'
error: cannot determine image filename for 'recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.5-saga.img'
SO you say i dont read but it just doesnt work for some reason.
OK ...
Firstly - don't use CWM. That isn't just my opinion, it is a general opinion round here the 4EXT is far superior, especially on the DS. Try this thread
Secondly, can you please confirm what hBoot you are running?
Thirdly, is the phone correctly booting into FastBoot mode?
Fourthly, did you install ADB correctly (I guess so)?
Maybe this problem is caused by a bootloader that is still locked ?!
(Can recovery be flashed if the bootloader is locked ? I am not sure, but don't think so.)
Did you unlock via www.htcdev.com ?

OK so i as soon as you started helping me (thanks by the way) i found a couse for my error while flashing custom recovery. And i was able to flash 4EXT as you suggested (it looks awesome (not to mention all cool features ))
Second thingy i need to sort out is how to get my phone rooted
So i now have working recovery and i need myself a zip file to push it using recovery so i gain root.
Tried it and failed so i installed Tweaked 7,1 kernel (kernels already had root when i was using SEx10)
now all my phone does on turning it on is going to 4ext recovery on boot.

OK. You're at first base with 4EXT Recovery. That is normally the worst bit.

On DS there is absolutely no way a kernel to give you root. None of the existing zip files (mine or any others in DS section). You have to flash SU and install busybox (there are apps in the Google Play) after that

I'll give you a couple of pieces of advice mate;-
1) Don't simply add your problem on to the bottom of another thread unless it is DIRECTLY related to the OP in the thread
2) This is the Desire S forum. The Desire HD forums are here.
I know there are probably other threads that can help me but I'm really desperate here. I just got my Sensation 4G (T-Mobile) a few days ago and decided to root it and install a custom ROM. This is my first Android device so I followed a newb guide specifically for the Sensation 4G. However, I think I accidentally missed the step describing how to S-Off and I ended up trying to install Cyanogen Mod 9. It installed ok but I got stuck at the boot screen. From there, I tried restoring to a backup I made before installing Cyanogen but it didn't work. Now I'm stuck at the HTC logo. Can anyone help me out? Here are some more details about my device:

I don't have 4ext recovery installed, only CWM. Is there a way to install it even though I can't boot into the phone?
Yeah, just have to flash another recovery (4ext) through fastboot.
If you look around the development section, you'd probably find a guide how to do it, if not PM me, and I'll give you the steps.
Have a look in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861 Asskicker's guide, how to flash roms with S-ON. If you don't want to flash the 4ext recovery (I highly recommend to install it!) then you can do Step "EXTRA 1" from that guide and install "boot.img" from the downloaded rom. You find it in the zip file, in the kernel folder. But read the guide, there are plenty of very useful info in it! And to answer your question, No! Your phone is not bricked!

I have a bunch of ROMS that I've tried and they're all on my desktop. Only two of them have a kernels folder, so I guess the other two are using a stock kernel and I can't use them, right? I'll try following that thread you linked me to, hopefully it'll work this time.
EDIT: It worked! Thank you so much! Now if I wanted to install Cyanogen Mod 9 for example, which doesn't have that kernels folder, I would need to S-OFF first right?
If you want to install ROM's without being S-OFF I'm pretty sure you need 4EXT.
And for future reference to all who may find this thread down the road, if you can get into your Recovery (any recovery) your phone is almost certainly not bricked. You may have a lot of fixing to do, but it's almost certainly fixable.
When the splash screen doesn't even come up after hitting the power button or the charing light doesn't come on when plugged in...that's when it's time to worry. (And even then you may have options)

I did the wire-trick to S-OFF my device. WHen I first did that, my only option in the bootloader was RUU and I was about to ask you about that but took my battery out first. Now it's back to normal and it shows S-OFF. However, my microSD card is now completely wiped. I have a backup on my computer, so should I just copy the files back on there and try another ROM so that my WiFi will work?

copy your files into sdcard then reboot your device
about wifi you can flash the boot.img manually(maybe you do not need that because you are S-OFF now)
otherwise flash your rom again

Apologies in advance as I know there are many similar threads on here but I've read so much I'm just getting confused! Here goes...
Yesterday I tried to install the official version of ICS onto my Desire S. I followed all of the steps and the computer said the software had been successfully installed. Since then my phone will not boot past the HTC logo screen. I can get into the hboot screen by booting with power on + volume down and my computer recognises the phone when i plug it in in fastboot. It won't go into recovery mode and a factory reset doesn't work. I have tried re-installing the software but it makes no difference. I bought the phone second hand and it was already rooted so I don't have the programs that were used.
When booting in hboot the following info apppears:

I have read that this version of hboot is not compatible and that I require an hboot upgrade but i'm not sure how to do this as I cannot access the sd folder of my phone and I don't have an external micro SD reader.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Even if means reverting back to gingerbread or using another ROM. I just want my phone to work again!

if your phone is detected in fastboot, the best bet you have is to install a custom recovery and then flash another ROM through it.

I would recommend the CM10 by nk111. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1776256&highlight=all+credit
Try the latest stable one. ie, the 30-Oct version.

Thank you. I read that thread earlier. It does sound very similar. As i cannot access my sd folder how do I put the updated hboot file in there? do i need to get hold of a micro sd reader?

Errr u could try putting the file into the sd with another phone.
If u can enter recovery mode, u can connect the sd card with the computer.

Apologies in advance as I know there are many similar threads on here but I've read so much I'm just getting confused! Here goes...
Yesterday I tried to install the official version of ICS onto my Desire S. I followed all of the steps and the computer said the software had been successfully installed. Since then my phone will not boot past the HTC logo screen. I can get into the hboot screen by booting with power on + volume down and my computer recognises the phone when i plug it in in fastboot. It won't go into recovery mode and a factory reset doesn't work. I have tried re-installing the software but it makes no difference. I bought the phone second hand and it was already rooted so I don't have the programs that were used.
When booting in hboot the following info apppears:
-revolutionary-
SAGA PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT - 6.98.1002
RADIO - 3831.19.00.110
eMMC-boot
Mar 10 2011, 14:58:38
I have read that this version of hboot is not compatible and that I require an hboot upgrade but i'm not sure how to do this as I cannot access the sd folder of my phone and I don't have an external micro SD reader.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Even if means reverting back to gingerbread or using another ROM. I just want my phone to work again!

I had the same issue and manage to fixed it by following this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1679338
I used a second sd card, I formatted it first and only put the file I need at that time on it. I
In step 5 Reboot into bootloade, select recovery wait till you see the screen with the red triangle exclamation mark and press the volume up and power button at the same time.
You will enter the Android system recovery <3e> and see the following options:
reboot system now
apply update from SD card
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
wipe the cache partition and wipe data/factory reset
Now following step B from this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1858508
When update is finished - reboot, then configure ICS and delete PG88IMG.zip from sd card.
Thanks very much for your help guys. I've managed to sort the problem. For everyone else out there with the same problem I'll tell you what I did....
The hboot version on my phone (6.98.1002) is not compatible with the official ICS software update.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1488672 - this thread shows how to update the hboot when stuck in bootloop.
I then reinstalled the ICS ruu onto my phone and it is now working fine although it is no longer rooted.
Could someone please tell me the best way to root my phone again. In the bootloader menu it still says revolutionary s-off but i cannot access ROM manager or titanium backup. Do I need to fully root it again?
Since you installed the official RUU, your root is probably gone.. You will have to fully root the phone again to get root access.
You could try flashing a custom recovery in fastboot, and then flashing SuperSu or superuser from recovery.

This. As long as you're S-OFF, rooting is just a matter of flashing custom recovery (using fastboot), and flashing SuperSU ZIP in recovery. The first step is covered in so many tutorials that any search will lead you right to it.
Sorry for late response but thank you all who helped me. My phone is now fully functional and I couldn't have done it without you guys. Much appreciated!

Hi
I have tried looking around this forum for a way to install CWM recovery on a HTC Sensation unlocked S on I am getting more confused and have quite a pile of zip files been trying this for 2 days now
Clockwork rom manager throws a message saying must root phone superuser not found at "/system/bin su or xbin/su I have super user installed
I have tried fastboot flash recovery recovery.img cant find the file or no such file (i pointed to the correct folder) Using Android SDK (not sure if it is installed correctly but had the required files in the folder with the unlock. bin
Tried HTC One X All-In-One Toolkit it said done but S is still on
Any Help very much appreciated and sorry if I have not done the obvious
Thanks

with all in one tool kit you won't bring S-OFF
from this thread try to flash this recovery.it is better than cwm
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861 (only step 2)
I used HTC One X toolkit, but it wouldn't S-Off as I had hboot 1.29.0000, therefore couldn't use revolutionary method. In this instance you can s-off using a paperclip, some insulating tape, and running the ControlBear software. To find out how to do this, type the following into YouTube:
JuopunutBear S-Off HTC Sensation.
... That will show you how to achieve S-Off which will unprotected the nand storage to write enabled so you can flash a new ROM.
See JuopunutBear website for instructions. You can find it by typing:
unlimited.io
... Into google.
or you can use the guide from our forum in dev section

because you are S-ON when flashing a rom it doesn't write the boot partition by itself
the only thing you have to do is enable smartflash from 4ext recovery and after flash the rom
or
you can follow extra 1 step in the link i provided you in my first post

Done the wire trick, got it after a few attempts recovery screen now says
revolutionary
Pyramid pvt ship s off RL
Hboot 1.27.1100
Radio 11 24a 3504 31 H
now asking for update I ok that phone eventually boots up then says unexpected UI error and screen goes blank. I cant get anything transferred to the phone as the pc isnt seeing it
Is there anyway to get a recovery on the phone so I can load a rom.
Juopunutbear backed up my images but have no idea how to get them back. Before the wire clip trick the phone had Super-Threading-Rom-v1.2.1 4ext recovery it seemed better than my old clockwork recovery
If this isnt bricked what rom would you suggest and how do i flash it
Thanks
