How to flash Custom ROM on my Desire S ?

I'm a new android user who just bought a new android phone, HTC desire S. I've been searching all over the Desire S forum but can't find a tutorial on flashing the custom ROM. Also, I don't understand what is S-Off and other stuffs as this is very new to me.. Hope someone could guide me. Thanks!
Wanted to use this rom but the instructions there is just too confusing... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060742

was your first thread not enough? c'mon man! stop creating unnecessary threads.

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=guide+to+unbricking+inspire
not that you read anyones help that was given to you in your other thread for the same thing....

Agreed please dont open more then one thread on the same issue. Please do your research before you brick your device. While rooting is easy it is not for everyone nor should anyone attempt it before researching it for a few hours before hand.

Sensation XE bricked, PC recognizes it as ;

Hello all,
A customer of mine brought his Sensation XE which is totally bricked. No lights, no display and simply no signs of life except that when i plug it to pc, it is recognized as Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader 9008.
This gave me an idea if there would be a way to de-brick it using a software like we use for the Dell Streak5. The phone will stay here for a while until i give up and decide to send it back to HTC U.K.
Any suggestions are greatly welcome.

Only htc can fix it. As its a hardware failure.
More people had this on xda. Use the search for more info.

Since the pc still recognizes it, there's a big chance and hope that this might be the trick to unbrick a sensation like the one i have. Could anyone help on this topic and provide a *.qcn dump from his sensation xe ?

It looks like that thread didn't succeed (nor has anyone else here), I highly doubt you can unbrick it. Save your time and send it back!

Hi Semseddin..
can you acces bootloader/hboot..? if yes, You can try to go to fastboot and re-stock with correct RUU..

i doubt he can, or he would have posted that
haven't read any people from here succeeding once they saw this message. they were usually trying to get the phone back to s-on state, iirc. i encourage you to read as much info as you can about other devices with this qualcomm error. never know, might be the first member on here to fix a sensation brick
pm some xe members for that "dump" you're looking for as well. keep us posted!

Hello tegezan bro,
Like our Russian m8 says, i wouldn't create this topic if i could go into hboot. The phone is completely dead. I will dump a qcn file from a working sensation xe tomorrow. I'll let u know how it goes.

let us know how did it go
if you succeed please make a step by step tutorial and i'll gladly make a sensation firmware/whatever dump so we can finally unbrick our precious devices

Hello Semseddin

not sure about the op, but we have been trying some things here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468791
read last few pages.

No please don't send it back to HTC :L it would be much more beneficial to the community if we found a way to fix these types of brick any success yet?
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using XDA Premium App

Help will be provided if u tell me the reason
I need to know how it bricked, like he was going to s-on from s-off from write oemsecureflag 3 command or was he trying to update it via ruu or what??
After that , i may help unbricking it

Go to Dev section and seek dexter's HTC unbricking project.. and get to irc and chat with him, before do anything to your phone

I have heard of this happens to some wildfire s devices . Some have had success by putting the the update. Zip from a ruu onto the sdcard and the very slowly following the update process from bootloader. Don't forget to rename it to the device name like pc49img.zip. I've not tried this though.

i will but i didnt make ota update and i have the rom version 2.3.4 do i need to downgrade to 2.3.3

You do not need to do downgrade. Try again to follow the tutorial step by step. You must have USB debugging turned on. Try on another computer.
