[Q] Kernal panic issue? - HTC Desire S

Yesterday I rooted my Desire S and loaded up the CyanogenMod 7.1 release. All looked okay the rooting worked, the ROM loaded fine but on rebooting I get Kernal panic being reported as per the attached.
I've also now tried another ROM (MIUI IIRC) and I've still got the same problem.
It has been recommended that I turned down the CPU from 1Ghz but still the problem occurs.
How on earth do I fix the issue? HELP!

N00b question on how to Root/flash a Sensation

Hi there
first of all i know: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmvCpR45LKA
So i am completly new here and i tried to root and flash a custom rom accordng to the guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 and here (in german: http://www.pocketpc.ch/htc-sensatio...s-off-flashen-custom-rom-fuers-sensation.html)
however i did not work properly...
My Phone: HTC Sensation with Branded Android 2.3.4 (Provider Swisscom; Switzerland)
here is what i did:
1.) I unlocked the Bootloader with the official HTCDev tool (http://htcdev.com/)
2.) i S-OFF'ed my phone accordng to:
Step 1. To S-OFF your Sensation - (You do not need to do this if you have S-off already or done this before) - WORKING NOW for TMOUS users
Visit http://revolutionary.io/
however, the CMD showed me a "Failure, Live gave you lemons"
i think it was only concening the installation of the clockwork... (???)
3.) i did the CID stuff "fastboot oem writecid 11111111" (afterwards getcid gave me "fastboot getvar cid" 11111111
4.) the i flashed the firmwareupdate from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618
(this one : "Firmware from 3.12.401.2/102 RUU" since i had id 111111111)
5.) the i tried flashing Adroid Revolution HD 6.x (after superwipe) from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14192842&postcount=4
but after rebooting, the phone froze in the white HTC screen for about 20 min or so
6.) superwipe again, and then i flashed Revolution HD 4.1.7 which is working now
my phone sais now: Android Version 2.3.5
HTC Sense: Version 3.5
Software number: Android Revolution HD 4.1.7 by mike1986
and if i enter recovery mode on statup it sais:
*****unlocked*****
Pyramid PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.20.0000
RADIO-11.15.3504.16_M
eMMc-boot
and if i enter recovery, this 4ext touch recovery tool (1.0.0.3 Beta 7) starts
i dont know if i have done it correctly or if i made a complete mess!
i really would like to install the Android Revolution HD 6.0.3 rom but as i said, the phone gets stuck at startup (or do i have to wait longer than 30 min on the HTC screen?!)
can annyone of you pro's see where the mistake was done? or what i have to change, to make the new rom working?
THX so Much
sincerely
N00b swissbone from switzerland
You flashed the wrong firmware for the 6.0.x rom you need to have the 1.23 hboot. Look in the ARHD thread and download the correct firmware for 6.0.3.
Link to firmware: http://tinyurl.com/creec9g
thx... actually i think i have tried both firmwares you can download at the URL you mentioned.. but i think i will try again
could it be anything else?
THX
download again the firmware, check MD5 sum and try to flash firmware again. also update your 4ext beta 8
how do i update ext4 ?
THX
there are two ways. Either you can flash 6.03 again, then you should have beta 8, or find in market "4ext uploader"
thx
there is one problem though...
if i go to cmd-> adb devies, i obly get the answer "List of Devices Attached" but no devie is listed....waht can i do?

Hmm pickle indeed, whats your hboot is it still the same? or does it say something different after flashing new firmware?
if it says 1.20/1.23 you should be able to boot any gingerbread rom and older ICS Leaks,
if you want to boot 6.1.x or insertcoins 4.4.x or any variant of those roms that use the newset ICS leak your gonna need to flash latest firmware which has hboot 1.27
I would download the rom again, I had a few bad downloads before that made my phone not boot up. Oh and his roms take a while to boot just be patient
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium
When he has no Android on his phone, he, isn't be able to flash, isn't he?
Somewhere I saw a posting with a describtion how from WM to Android. I thought I saw it in the ARHD 6.1.0 thread somewhere on page 4790 or so, it's a very huge thread, so start backwards to read is my suggestion
ok, i have 2.3.5 running again...
what have i to do nex? update teh HBOOT and Firmwaren? and then update the 6.1.x ?
THX
so ok i have 2.3.5 running again...
whta do i need to do next to get 6.1.x running?
update the HBOOT and i am good to go? i dont exactly know wat ENG S-OFF is, but do i need it?
THX
ok, when i start my sensation up in recovery mode it says:
Unlocked
Pyramid PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT1.23.000
Radio-11.19.3504.29_2
OpenADSP-v01.6.0.2226.00.1227
eMMC-boot
so what is the next thing to do?
flash HBOOT 1.27 with "debugging enabled"
do i need new firmware/radio ?
BIG THX
SO...i tried it again with USB DEBUGGING activated...
i downloadede the radio ( 11.68.3504.00U_11.21.3504.13_2 ) from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14192842&postcount=4
but when i start this adb tool and try to install the radio it starts the phone in recovery/fastboot (as it shoud) but when i continue with "fastboot flash radio radio.img" it says:
sending "radio" .....OKAY
writing raidio....FAILED (remote: not allowed)
what is wrong?

Bootloop with 3.24 and 3.30 firmware

Lately I have some problems with installing the latest firmwares for the Sensation. Both 3.24 as 3.30 firmwares cause a bootloop, but the 3.12 firmware is just working fine.
My flashing procedure:
1. Super wipe
2. Install Firmware
3. Super wipe
4. Install ROM
5. Wipe dalvik + cache
6. Fix Permissions
This all causes a bootloop. Also tried to install the ROM first and then the firmware. (without super wipe in between of course)
Things I've tried
- My cid was HTC__E11 and changed it to 11111111 (and back again now)
- Tried booting without sd-card and without sim-card
- Making a PG58IMG.zip with an old HBOOT
-Tried both Mike1986.'s firmware as the noob friendly from Kohr-Ah
More people having these probs and do any of you have new ideas?
The only thing that can in my mind, was to stick with the 3.12 roms untill the official release comes form HTC. Unroot etc to get the official update and check if my phone will work. If not, send it to HTC Repair centre.
Which ROM are you trying to install? You try updating firmware to latest 3.30 and install latest Insertcoin, works for me.
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using Tapatalk
all you have to do is:
download the 3.30 fw
put the PG58IMG in your sd card root folder
go into hboot screen and flash it (you have to be superCID) reboot+vol down
now delete PG58IMG from your sd card and reboot in recovery
wipe all and flash your rom
enjoy
If you had bootloop eariler with V3.24 firmware , you will still have bootloop with V3.30 firmware as the HBOOT is same in both v3.30 and V3.24 .
Stick to V3.12 till HTC release a newer HBOOT in near future . Till now there is no logical reason why it is happening with a very few users.
I've had the same problem all day with this. I flashed the recommended 3.3.0 f/w this morning and couldn't for the life of my work out why i was getting bootloops.
Luckily I came across this by chance, saved hours of tearing my hair out thanks

I've tried, ARHD, InsertCoin, HyperNonSense, Open Sensation CM9, Virtuos Inquisition. It's not the Rom that's causing the bootloop. It's the firmware that's causing it.. Most roms do work with he 3.12 firmware.
Think I'll stick to musarraf172 his advice and stay on 3.12 till a new hboot comes out. Or maybe if someone else finds a solution for this.
FINALLY a post that I can reply on (forum rules I'm new @ develpers section)
I have the same problem as you I get bootloop with 3.24 and 3.30
3.12 runs fine, my question is, can I install mike's new ROM 6.3.0 XE
with the 3.12 or will I screw up my phone (I really don't know much about this sorry if it's a stupid question )
P.S: the 3.12 fw bootloader says LOCKED on it, doesn't let me to flash radio, so I'm currently stuck with a piece of metal, any help?
thanks

no you can't...you need at least 3.24 fw
where can I get some other firmware (unlocked one) which will work with mike's rom Android Revolution 3.6.13 (and the radio on his post)
on his post it sayd "thanks to HTC for base firmware" where can I get that?
Thanks

You might be wrong here.
@ guy asking question. Just install the rom with 3.12 fw, as mussy said, there are a few people that get bootloops with latest fw but run ok on 3.12. Also, you can always take 3.30 fw, remove hboot.img from it, and just update radio and other partitions but leave hboot intact. That might work.

You can run ARHD 6.3.0 with V3.12 firmware. Some users already confirmed this.
Locked HBOOT does not allow to flash radio, splash via fastboot. But You can easily flash radio, splash etc by PG58IMG.zip method.
bootloop fix?
Hey again,
just figured out why I got the bootloops with the 3.30 and 3.24
The reason is very simple : I tried to flash them without flashing to the new ROM
The old ROM I had just happened to work with the 3.12 but with the 3.24/3.30 it went to the bootloops.
Here's the guide that helped me with this issue (now I have the 3.30 and the 6.3.0XE ARHD ROM) :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1472298
Thanks to erraggy for giving me this link to the great guide
P.S : If you have some cooked UOT file you made with SystemUI.apk & framework-res.apk , DO NOT flash them after flashing the ROM , your phone will be stuck @ the first boot for hours. I know it sounds stupid, but hey, I'm new at this and if it helps others do be it
btw, great ROM

I tried doing this and still cant upgrade to 3.24 or 3.30 fw. I did super wipe, flashed fw 3.30 and then flashed ROM but still get boot loops. I think some phones cant upgrade?
I have T-mobile US and i did try the user friendly fw 3.30 also.

Did V3.24 work on your phone ? If not , then V3.30 will also not work. You can flash v3.12 and install ARHD 6.3.0 . They will work together. If you still want to flash V3.30 , then replace the HBOOT 1.27.1100 in V3.30 with the HBOOT in V3.12.

Fw 3.24 didn't work for me either. I am currently using the 3.30 file with the hboot from 3.12 on Elegancia Rom. Its just strange that there are a few phones that can't boot with the 1.27 bootloader.

Thats great. The official untouched HBOOT 1.27 solved the issue.
Just curious . Does it show "locked" in bootloader screen ??
If so that menas the fastboot extended commands are disabled.
Just check it.

You can download some beautiful splash from here. Open the flashable zip and find the splash1.img inside the etc folder.

Trying to S-OFF, Major Confusion

Hello guys,
My RUU is RUU_Saga_S_HTC_ARA_2.14.415.3_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.0
I followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1443636 and it worked perfectly ... except nothing got downgraded, the RUU file is not 0.98.0000, instead its still 2.00.0002
thus I can't use Revolutionary to S-OFF.
All I want to do is flash Fallout Evolution V4.4.0 but I'm still stuck at S-OFFing the phone.
What should I do ? Should I download another RUU for example RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.11_, flash that and then S-OFF and then flash the original RUU_Saga_S_HTC_ARA_2.14.415.3_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.0 again ?
Will that return the S-ON ?
Is there any other method? I'm completely lost now. Please any advice will be great.

what exactly you have done?
you should follow step 1 to 6 first.
than flash the RUU brand and region specific.
than you go to revolutionary.to and follow the steps.
what region and brand of phone you using?
Flash the lowest version RUU for your region

yes, I did that exactly. But when my HBOOT version is still 2.00.0002, it wasn't downgraded, so I concluded that the RUU file I downloaded comes with the HBOOT version 2.00.0002 not less.

I searched in the http://www.filefactory.com/f/c64d333a2755a421/

should I try to flash that ?
if the answer is yes, should I flash the OTA update OTA_Saga_S_HTC_ARA_2.14.415.3-1.47.415.1_release_226054u4qq2l6b7pxcvnwr.zip
after that or not ?
i guess u need to test each of your step and see if it work.
first try with only RUU_Saga_HTC_ARA_1.47.415.1_Radio_20.28I.30.085AU_ 3805.06.02.03_M_release_199890_signed.exe
than if it didn't work try again with the ota update.
The OTA will flash hboot 2.00, so what is the point. Repeat the steps you already did according to the guide you mention in the first post but with the older RUU this time. Then use Revolutionary, flash newer recovery and Fallout. Done

[Q] Radio update/downgrade with hboot 1.14

hi all
i recently bought an htc one S and bricked it of course on the first very few hours ("e:\cant mount sd" in recovery) ,
later on tried to repair with Tmobile RUU with-out success ,but i guess during this trial and error i have updated my hboot to 1.14
found a solution to mount the sd through a recovery and format it in windows and then re-partition it in the recovery
finally it was alive again ,and i installed TrickDroid v7
yesterday after updating to AOKP rom ,i had no wi-fi signal ,tried to search for a solution to update radio in order to resolve the issue ,
found a flashable file and flashed it in TWRP without success ,laer on i have found that it cant be done using hboot above 1.13
now i have read at cm9moddev website (sorry cant post links im new here ,google "update radio htc one s" 3rd result),and i quote:
"Although we do not have S-OFF yet, it is possible to update/downgrade the radio without using an official RUU......"
"....In some cases you may experience wifi issues. If this happens you have to update other firmware partitions. This should be done via official RUU/OTA and will (for now) not be covered here."
so ,can someone please help regarding the process of upgrading/downgrading the radio in order to fix wifi issues with custom roms
we can't. the only thing you can do is change to an AOKP rom that comes with radio build in it

[Q] Problems with Viper Rom

Hello,
i'm having a lot of trouble with the viper made rom ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2667758). I'm new here, so i cannot post it there.
My problems began when i try to install the updates. I have installed the original rom version 3.0.0. i get the OTA message, but when i try to install it in recovery, the phone can't mount the sd card, and the installation doesn't continu. I tried to do it manually (using the download link i found in one of the posts) and that seemed to work.
Then i got another OTA notification, to upgrade to version 3.1.0, but when i tried to boot after the installation, i couldn't enter my sim pincode, and when i reboot, the phone keeps looping. I have to install the original rom twice (once with and one time without wiping) before the ROM boots normally.
What am i doing wrong?
i'm on Hboot 1.25 and radio:1.15.50.05.29
I'm S-on (RL)
It seems that viper made a fll rom, with the updates included.
Wrong Hboot?

I'm not sure but i think it starts with your Hboot, maybe one of the older members can verify, but according to the rom it requires Hboot version 2.15 or 2.16.
I am in the process of updating my Hboot by downloading and flashing the RUU as well as achieving S-OFF status

I'm not sure but i think it starts with your Hboot, maybe one of the older members can verify, but according to the rom it requires Hboot version 2.15 or 2.16.

You need to update hboot first
2.15 is most compatible i suppose

Question. Is there a way for me to upgrade the hboot without the ruu wiping everything? Or will I just have to make a backup. I plan to go s-off before upgrading the hboot.

If you're S-OFF ist possible I think
No, you don't need to update the hboot. I am on 1.06 and Viper works fine...in fact any ROM works fine for me but that's another story. The updated firmware (2.13 or 2.15) is required only for Android 4.4.x KitKat due to a check present in the updater-script. There's no such check nor requirement for previous Android versions and Viper 3.x is based on Android 4.2.2
The problems first could come from not being S-Off...this makes impossible to flash the kernel from recovery so any OTA that has a kernel is not flashed properly. I remember that 3.1.0 has also a full ROM ZIP, maybe is good if you flash that one from recovery and flash the kernel after that in fastboot. Also it could matter the recovery you're using, I would recommend latest TWRP

In the viper rom forum post it says ROM firmware required hboot 2.15/2.16.. Am I to j just ignore tha? Or is it that it is only required that hboot (2.15/2.16) if you are s-on and s-off can do whatever you like? Lol
You need hboot 2.16 for Radio 1.20
And to Flash hboot 2.16 you will need S-OFF

Actually I'm on hboot 2.15 with Radio 1.20.XX
I know this doesn't help... just saying..
To contribute smth. To get the most out of the Viper 3 Rom, everyone should upgrade their Radio to 1.20.XX. And this is actually why you need to S-OFF.
