Hi all, well i was playing with my Desire S trying to install the generic wwe rom on it since it is brands, and ended up messing up the phone real badly.
Well i used the good old way of creating a gold card and then flash the RUU. The first time went well, i flashed the generic 1.28.401.1 rom on it, retaining the 0002 boot it had.
Then i went to flash the 2.10 wwe RUU and this time things went bad. For some reason the gold card powers were not evoked and it gave me "CID error" but, the all mighty 2.00.0002 hboot was flashed on the phone before it gave the error. So i had to downgrade the bootloader and i used this great guide as a help but once again things went wrong.
I flashed a pre rooted RUU 2.10 rom using 4EXT recovery as the guide tells to do but, i have no wi-fi and usb connection on the rom. This means i got no way to connect the phone to a pc to change the misc_version file and don't even have wi-fi. So i end up asking for any help here as the phone is left in a very bad situation that i can't see the way out...
Try to reflash same ROM again.

I believe you should have named your thread "I really messed up my Desire S", as the current title is sort of misleading ;-).
In your place I'll try flashing an older ROM, even your initial one and start over. If you still have acces to 4EXT recovery you just have to take out your sdcard, put it on a pc and copy the rom that way (since USB not working). Or you can try to activate USB drive within 4EXT recovery, maybe it'll work.
If you don't have 4EXT recovery, you can try flashing recovery.img (from 4EXT zip file) or a rom by renaming them as PG88IMG.zip and place them on the card (via PC). If you boot to bootloader and try to flash them using the flash procedure for radio, it might work like this.
Sorry if I am saying a stupid thing but this is what I'll try if I had these issues.

Well the initial ROM i had on the phone was a branded Vodafone PT and i can't find that ROM anywhere and for some reason goldcards are not working after the bootloader was flashed by the RUU.
I still have the 4EXT recovery and usb works in it. Flashing a ROM via the PG88IMG only works if the RUU has the right CID as the phone is branded, now i don't know if flashing a rooted ROM using that procedure will work. The other thing i may try is flashing an older rooted ROM, like the 1.28.401.1 and see if the wi-fi and usb works.
Well what i can say is that the phone is completely cursed and i can't find a way out of this.
I tried to flash an older rooted ROM, 1.48 and the same thing happened, no wi-fi and usb connection.
I tried to flash custom ROMs then. Even worse, the phone doesn't boot, gets stuck on the htc logo. I tried more ROMS and the same happens.
Flashing official RUU will not work due to the CID error. All i end up is that i can't put the phone to work, simple as that. The only chance i think is to send the phone to HTC and tell them that a screwed the system and want them to flash it all again. I don't know how much that will cost but it seems to be the only way out.

Return it if you still have warranty. If not, read on:
1. Check you HBOOT if it got updated to the new one.
2. If it is updated, I suggest to flash the pre-root 2.10.5 ROM. Then see if it is going to work.
3. If it does, downgrade from there if you still want to.

Yes it has warranty but im sure it will not be covered since i was the one who messed up the phone system.
Another thing i can do, but this is not a certain option, is to wait and see if alpharev can find a way to S-OFF the new hboot with revolutionary and then open a way to flash the RUUs again and older bootloaders.
But i am more looking to sending it to HTC. Does anyone have an idea how much does it cost to reflash the system on the phone?

It would really help if you have given your bootloader details.\
Things you still can do:
1. If hboot is updated to 2.00.0002, then you need to unlock it, flash custom recovery via fastboot, flash custom rom, usable phone.
2. If hboot is S-OFF, same as 1 but skip unlocking. Again, usable phone.
Also, there are a lot of ways for you to change your hboot once you are S-OFF. Use search.
You are able to install custom roms, but the phone doesn't boot? And the 1.47 pre rooted boots but no WiFi?
You unlocked the phone with HTC.dev.
Steps:
- pick a custom Rom, any Rom
- extract boot.img from that Rom
- flash the Rom in recovery
- do not reboot
- flash boot.img using fastboot command from your computer (search around for instructions)
- reboot and enjoy
The problem is your phone is still s-on, and blocking the kernel from being written during normal flash. You end up with old kernel and new un-matching modules and libs.
I could be wrong though...

I my case, that was may of this year, I send my desire (not s) back because of bootproblems, and they reflashed it for free. This was in the Netherlands so don't know how easygoing they are in Portugal, but it's worth a shot I guess.

Well i can say that this has worked. I flashed the boot.img form the CM7 rom and it worked perfectly, it booted CM7 rom and have wi-fi and usb connection. Now the only thing left is to be able to flash official RUUs passing tne CID error which for some reason the Goldcards are not bypassing.
But many thanks for your help
(ou como se poderia dizer, obrigado pela ajuda)

Right, had desire s from three, alpharevx'd it installed clockwork mod, flashed eng hboot. Tried to flash RUU 1.47 europe on it, and it started to work and go through process, updated radio fine, then came up with CID error. No option to do anything but exit. Now I have a desire s that will boot into Bootloader, which has now s-on'd itself and upgraded to 0.98.0002.
Only method of comms seems to be via fastboot.
Now i cant flash the h3g one cos its too low a bootloader version, and i cant upgrade to a newer version cos one don't exist. Can anyone come up with a solution please??
Cheers.
What does HBOOT screen say (in full)?
Are you still able to get into recovery? If yes, then have you tried loading a custom ROM onto the SD card and simply flashing that using the flash zip from sd card option of CWM (clock work mod)?
Unfortunately I am unable to get into recovery, only bootloader, nothing else works. Hboot is displaying a security error at the top highlighted in pink, followed by the version number as described
You should have stuck with the alpharev hboot, which does not allow itself to be overwritten by RUU installs.
Anyway, you need to:
- install hboot 0.980000 (so you can run alpharevx again and get S-OFF)
- run alpharevx and reinstall CWM at the end
- DO NOT install the eng hboot
- flash whatever rom whichever way you want. Your hboot is safe
Follow the instructions on:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1187231
How can I run alpharevx when I can only boot into bootloader tho?
Try running it while in bootloader. Never tryed it that way, but I'm pretty sure it only needs the USB comms to be up, same as adb. Which they should be anyway in bootloader...
Have you tried to re-setup your phone by executing one of the RUU.exe?
k, as i expected, with no access to adb in bootloader mode, i am unable to do anything. Remember, i only have bootloader to work from. I don't eve3n have a recovery partition installed, it just comes back to bootloader whatever i choose, well, bootloader and fastboot anyway.
yup, tried running the ruu again but to no avail. Just get cid error. And i can't make a goldcard either cos i cant get the code. Might just send it back i think and act dumb :/
What about using the "normal" upadte procedure? Placing the PG88(whatever).zip on the root of the sdcard, and have the bootloader install it?
Of courtse with S-ON, it must be a signed version...
If all else fails s-off with xtc clip then flash custom rom

Have you tried to use the original RUU for your phone/network? I'm not sure if it would take care of the CID error.

I do not expect this to work, but you said you are able to get into recovery, correct?
Well, I would try to enter fastboot mode and try to flash cwm via fastboot -> fastboot flash recovery XXXXXXXX.img

Good suggestion! Try this one first.
The problem with trying my original ruu for my network is that it contains the lower hboot version, when i flashed the generic ruu earlier, it actually started the update and flashed the radio part, then informed me the cid error, of course, by this time it had updated the hboot too. So now i have a desire s with an upgraded hboot so i can't flash a new one because of cid error and i can;t go back cos it reports a hboot version error. Where do i look on the system for the p88ing.zip now? can't remember now!
I haven't run a RUU in years, but I think that when you run it on a windows machine, it extracts a bunch of files to a directory. Cancel the process, find the directory, find th PG88... in the directory... You get the drift.

It is not relevant which network you are using !!! Just try newest RUU to get control over your phone again in the first place!
Even if you don't get any network access after setup newest RUU you will definitely be abte to execute alpharevx again, flash cwm and flash any stuff you want to.

I guess that means you tried flashing recovery via fastboot?
Then concentrate on our RUU-suggestions.
Yes, as i said, flashed via fastboot, and i already explained that i cant up/down grade via ruu method because of bootloader version. I can't think of a way out of this as it stands. The only thing that may work is doing it via the p88img method with my original 3uk rom, but i cant find it in my temp files, searched everywhere for it. I've seen it's location posted on here before now, and i've searched it to death and can't seem to find it now
I'm going to extract and upload your 3GUK-PG88*.img although I think you'll need an newer one. Just a few minutes of patience.
Hi guys and girls,
I got a HTC Sensation off ebay that has been flashed incorrectly and is stuck at the HTC green text boot screen. I have successfully installed CWM but I can't seem to get the right firmware on (I am using 3.32) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618 with the stock ICS rom. The firmware says 'parsing PG58IMG' then does nothing.
I would like to use a restore image in CWM, but as the phone arrived without one I am trying to find a ready made image I can use.
- Anyone know where one is available?
Also, I can't do all the usual fastboot stuff becuse I can't enable usb debugging, so just to get it to a usable state with any rom would be great.
Please help!!
Thanks everyone

1. As you are SON you cant flash a firmware ..you need SOFF for that. Also you are having hboot 1.27 so that means you are already on 3.32 firmware ..so you can skip flashing firmware part
2. As you didnt have any nandroid backup ..start fresh and flash a custom ROM ..for flashing Custom ROM read the next point.
3. As you are SON and have HTC-DEV unlocked bootloader its better to have 4EXT recovery rather than CWM ...as it helps you in the process
Start completely fresh and flash using this guide (tip: follow it to the letter )

Thanks for the reply, but I can't start with the guide because the phone won't connect to the PC for adb access; I cant enable usb debugging because can't access the operating system menu.
All i can do at this stage is load up roms and flashes to the SD card by putting it in a card reader, then running it in phone via recovery. I am a little stuck :/

read the guide again ..whenever steps with adb commands are given ..immediately there will be a next step saying .."if you cant boot the phone then do extra 4 step"
So you can very well do all the steps if you can go to bootloader and has fastboot on your pc (usb debugging is not required either )
So a few days ago I rushed into using htcdev to unlock my bootloader without fully researching. I then tried to flash: aospX 1.0.0-MR1 in haste. I couldn't use cwm or ext4 because it stated the phone was not rooted. I assumed since I unlocked the bootloader using htcdev that I wouldn't need either for some reason. I tried flashing the rom using the directions found in glevitan's newbie guide: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/30674730/ULTIMATE ACE GUIDE V5.pdf. In the directions that were given on step 5 I just booted in hboot instead of cwm or ext4. So basically what I did is go into hboot and fastboot and tried flashing the boot img.
After that it seemed as though it was flashing but then it went to a picture of a phone with a red exclamation point next to it. Now in the past two days I have been researching how the fix my problem from acting hastily without researching first. None of my research or actions thus far have been able to get me past hboot. I have tried the directions in the following thread and have not been able to fix the issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396229
When I try to reinstall recovery by the directions given in that thread nothing really happens and it just goes back to hboot. When I try flashing the Inspire 4g stock rom in the thread I get error messages in hboot that say invalid image! and it will flash to the white HTC splash screen for a few seconds and then vibrate and go black then back to htc splash screen for a few seconds then back to the picture of a cell phone with a red exclamation point next to it.
The only semi-success I have it trying to flash a RUU (RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_Cingular_US_2.47.502.7_Radio_12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M_release_200368_signed.exe)
But when I try to install the RUU it will install for a few minutes but then I get an error message because it is an older version than I have and wont allow me to "downgrade" because I am currently on 3.20
Any help to try to get this phone back up?
Best guess is (and double check first) relock the bootloader and flash the ruu.

First thing, thanks for the response.
It wont let me flash the RUU, I have version 3.20.xxxx and the only ruu I can find is older versions and it wont allow me to flash an older version. The bootloader is already relocked btw.
I'll get back to you. I have to finish doing a few things that will take me a few hours or maybe more, then I'll see what I can find.

You have a few options. The exclamation point is because you don't have a custom recovery installed. You have to flash it manually ie fast boot flash recovery recovery.img my guide doesn't cover that as it was written before HTC dev method was available. And those in the inspire land were recommended from flashing the eng hboot.
So anyways. You can flash cwr via fast boot,then attempt to flash aospx. BUT I suggest you actually gain soff.
The 3.20 ruu is available straight from HTC website.

OK.. here is the deal: HTC One S, T-MO, flashed recovery (TWRP), NO ROM would work in the WiFi dept. I tried flashing the radio and no matter what I couldnt get it to flash the 1.5 or 1.84 radio. TWRP would take forever and say it was complete, but the radio version still said 1.04 (or something) in hboot.
Also, I tried going back to a Stock Tmo RUU and it would ALWAYS fail at the signature part of the install EVEN THOUGH I relocked my bootloader.
SO- I unlocked my bootloader, I flashed CWM. Works like a charm.. or so it seems. I flashed the radio and it will only boot into CWM. I can flash a ROM but it still only boots into CWM. I cant even get into fastboot. This sucks.
Ideas anyone?
What happens if you do adb reboot bootloader from your computer while the phone is in CWM?
It reboots, the screen flickers for a millisecond or so (I am sure its probably trying to load hboot and gives some type of error so fast that I can't see) and then it goes to CWM. I am thinking about flashing it back to team win recovery...

OK.. I thought about that.. but my question is: How can I flash a boot.img if I cant get into fastboot? I installed the trickdroid ROM and I have the boot.img from the zip. I DID try to go back to stock (when I could still access everything pretty easily), but It got stuck on the signature part of the RUU. I went back to trickdroid and all was well sans the WiFi not working.
Can I flash a boot.img via ADB since that is the only thing really working right now?
Thanks

If you still need help...
I'm sure you guys have figured this out by now, but I Solved a problem very similar to this one in my Thread. I was able to return to Stock while still being Rooted.
Hello to everyone..
I will give you the longer story just so you get as much detail as possible, and i hope we can come up with easy solution.
Yes, I am new to all rooting, ROMS, recovery etc, and I consider my self noob, because I can follow guides, but dont understand actually what am I doing...
Ive had ARHD for a while when decided to put everything back to stock for warranty purposes. I cant remember the order of things, but i removed recovery, put back SON, and flashed stock RUU...In bootloader it said: LOCKED; PYRAMID SHIPPED and SON.
Since I didnt take phone to get repairs (I found out that my HTC sensation was turning off cause of extra space between casing and battery, and repaired it myself) I wanted to go back to ARHD.
The problems started when I realised i have 1.27 HBOOT and methods will be different. However i made it. First I unlocked bootloader with HTCdev, than installed 4ext recovery, put superSU on, rooted, put new firmware, superscripted and flashed ARDH. Everything worked fine except I didint have internet connection, and I mean no H, 3G, 4G ...nothing. Ive checked setting but nothing was wrong.
I have realised that my firmware was 3,2 and not 3,33, so i flashed it again (made sure i downloaded newest one), and It still says 3.2 so that is problem 1.
I did SUPER CID thinking that might be the problem and flashed again, but no luck. Than I flashed new firmware again (from different source) but still 3.2. After that in my bootloader the top ~revolutionary~ changed into ~locked~, while i still had SOFF and everthing else.
So to sum up: 1. Why dont I have any internet(what step did i mess up)
2. Why did my recovery went to locked (even though I can enter in 4ext from bootloader)
3. What are my steps to make this all work again.
Hope you can help me, and thank you all for being a great community so far !

now are you S-ON or S-OFF?
if you are S-ON flash the boot.img of the rom manually
or enable smartflash from recovery(only if you are S-ON) and flash the rom again
other way is to use the wifix manager app
also update fw it can only be done if you are S-OFF
if you are S-OFF it can be done only from bootloader and renamed as pg58img.zip
did you do that in this way?
edit:first do something else
connect your device into pc.navigate to the folder where adb and fastboot files are located
open a command window there and do these commands:
1)adb reboot bootloader
2)fastboot getvar version-main
it will show you your exact fw version

Hello to everyone..
I will give you the longer story just so you get as much detail as possible, and i hope we can come up with easy solution.
Yes, I am new to all rooting, ROMS, recovery etc, and I consider my self noob, because I can follow guides, but dont understand actually what am I doing...
Ive had ARHD for a while when decided to put everything back to stock for warranty purposes. I cant remember the order of things, but i removed recovery, put back SON, and flashed stock RUU...In bootloader it said: LOCKED; PYRAMID SHIPPED and SON.
Since I didnt take phone to get repairs (I found out that my HTC sensation was turning off cause of extra space between casing and battery, and repaired it myself) I wanted to go back to ARHD.
The problems started when I realised i have 1.27 HBOOT and methods will be different. However i made it. First I unlocked bootloader with HTCdev, than installed 4ext recovery, put superSU on, rooted, put new firmware, superscripted and flashed ARDH. Everything worked fine except I didint have internet connection, and I mean no H, 3G, 4G ...nothing. Ive checked setting but nothing was wrong.
I have realised that my firmware was 3,2 and not 3,33, so i flashed it again (made sure i downloaded newest one), and It still says 3.2 so that is problem 1.
I did SUPER CID thinking that might be the problem and flashed again, but no luck. Than I flashed new firmware again (from different source) but still 3.2. After that in my bootloader the top ~revolutionary~ changed into ~locked~, while i still had SOFF and everthing else.
So to sum up: 1. Why dont I have any internet(what step did i mess up)
2. Why did my recovery went to locked (even though I can enter in 4ext from bootloader)
3. What are my steps to make this all work again.
Hope you can help me, and thank you all for being a great community so far !

Hi,
What is your radio?(Settings>about phone>software information>more>baseband version)
Recovery is locked because you probably flashed 3.33 firmware from ARHD thread.
It will not show 3.33
This is because 3.33 is only a radio update.
Locked only means you are restricted in certain fastboot commands.
To unlock,flash THIS
There is nothing in what you said that would remove your internet connection.
Take off the back cover of the phone ,and GENTLY lift the 2 gold pins at the bottom of the phone,and see if that helps...

now are you S-ON or S-OFF?
if you are S-ON flash the boot.img of the rom manually
or enable smartflash from recovery(only if you are S-ON) and flash the rom again
other way is to use the wifix manager app
also update fw it can only be done if you are S-OFF
if you are S-OFF it can be done only from bootloader and renamed as pg58img.zip
did you do that in this way?

I have checked and yes, fastboot shows my fw is 3.32.401.3
and i still have SOFF
when i flashed fw so far, i put zip to sd root and turned phone with power + down

i have flashed your recovery, and it helped. Now it says revolutionary again.
and baseband is : 11.76A.3504.00P_11.24A.3504.31_M
Still no internet though.. (it seems to me that when i remove back case of the phone, my signal drops drastically, sometimes even connection breaks)
