Desire S Won't Boot

Yesterday my fiancée performed some updates from the market. Shortly after her phone turned off.
Now when trying to turn it on the phone gets stuck on the white screen with the green HTC logo.
I have tried booting it in to fast mode by turning it on with the volume down button held and then selecting fastboot.
This allowed me to try and flash the O2 ROM back to the phone. It find the software version on the phone (which is slightly newer than the ROM I have downloaded).
The next stage is "Rebooting in to bootloader" this is where it just comes to a stop, the fastboot menu freezes and the phone doesn't do anything.
Does anyone have any ideas? Much appreciated.

Is ur phone rooted or stock? U could try a factory reset...

It's totally stock other than being unlocked.
If I try a Factory Reset from the HBOOT screen it just locks up. Is there another way?
If I try recovery it turns off, comes up with Green arrows in a circle, vibrates 5 or 6 thimes, then does nothing.

Hope your phone will comes up,try to flash ruu

When you say unlocked, I'm assuming that you mean network unlocked and not S-OFF (via XTC clip)?
I'm afraid that I'd be tempted to return the device from where you bought it and attempt to get a repair/replacement unit.
Sorry that I was unable to help anymore.

Hi yes, network unlocked and not S-OFF
It seems to be like the bootloader has become corrupt some how.
I'll start making arrangments with HTC, thank you.
If anyone else has any ideas or suggestions let me know.

Easiest way to get back to totally stock from S-OFF?

Hi there, I've got CM7 with S-OFF on my Sensation right now and I'm going to give my phone to my aunt since I upgraded to a GN
Just wondering, what's the easiest way to get it back to stock and wiping it too? I need it so that it'll start getting OTA updates again.. doesn't really matter if it stays rooted (I'd prefer that but whatever is easier..)
Tried looking at some guides but they all don't have what I'm looking for..

Hi,
I'm not sure which guides you have looked at.
Have you seen THIS ONE,
or THIS ONE

I don't get the updates either. How can I check if my phone is S-Off or not?

S off is not the reason you're not getting OTA, custom recovery would be the most likely culprit. To see if you are s off, poweroff the phone, remove battery, replace battery, hold volume down and power, release the power button but keep holding the volume down, H Boot should appear, it will say s off or s on.
Did you buy the phone new or used? Have you flashed any custom ROM?

Also, if did the superCID, make sure to return it to stock so your Aunt can get OTA updates.

So you can keep S-OFF and root and still get OTAs?

Nope, my phone was branded at first, but I flashed 2.3.4 (
RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.45.401.2_Radio_10.56.9035 .00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_208857_signed) from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1074559
to unbrand it.

so what CID should I set it to for T-Mobile USA??
Can't seem to find that anywhere.. and where/how do I wipe my SD card?

Here's a list of CID codes this should be of use to you
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195475
To format your sd card connect your phone to your pc and right click format on your sd card when connected via storage mode

thanks Nik.. argghh the only thing I'm missing now is the RUU stock ROM. That link that's stickied in the dev forum for the latest T-Mobile USA ROM is dead.. trying to find a mirror now

My phone won't turn on after I reloaded ROM... Please help me...

Guys, I really need help. My phone won't turn on after I installed Blackbean. Initially I was running Blackbean then I tried Jellybam then I decided to go back to Blackbean. After I reloaded the software, I've selected to go back to bootloader and then it won't turn on anymore. I am not sure if I bricked the phone coz I didn't do anything wrong. My phone is the unlocked T-Mobile Germany version. If anyone has suggestion please post it here. I will appreciate all the help. Thank you.

Does your phone boot into recovery? if so then try restore a backup you may have.

thanks for the reply. to answer your question no sir. it wont turn on anymore.

So you can't even go into the bootloader? Maybe your battery has run flat, this happened to me once. I just plugged it in for a few minutes and it started up again normally.

Plus if he already flashed those roms, would assume he is flashing boot, has low hboot, or using Flash Image GUI--may be wrong--

use the All in one tool kit and get the stock boot.img from kiln, assuming you're able to get into fastboot.

[Q] How do I remove ViperROM and reload stock Android?

This is in regards to me wanting to remove Team Venoms Rom...not sure if its Viper Rom or Venom Rom anymore. Whatever it may be I just want it off and back to stock :'(
I regret ever rooting and loading this custom rom. I just want to know how to get back to stock.
As of right now if I try to restart or power down my phone it always goes to clockwork recovery screen. If I want to get past that I have to hold the power button for 10 seconds.

If you have your backup from stock then restore your stock image. Having a rooted device will not affect you. If you are the unfortunate one to not have a backup, then look at this page for a stock RUU and run it.

RUU will put it back to stock but I can fix the issues you are having and have a rom that's just like stock but with a few tweaks.

I believe that the backup I created when rooting and loading this custom rom is no longer any good. Because before I figured out that I needed to hold the power for ten seconds to get things to work I was afraid and tried utilizing the backup I had just created.
let me look at that RUU page you just referred to me

After installing a RUU would you lose root? or would you be able to just flash another ROM if wanted?

Just use your old unlock token which you have received from HTC to unlock your bootloader again and you are ready to root again
Sent from my HTC One S running TrickDroid 4.0

Last time I heard, one had to get a new token after an RUU update. If you are using the same ruu as the phone was on then fine. Else you might have to get a new token.
I might me wrong. Just something I had read somewhere!

Ruu or not your phone will always say tampered an ruu will not allow a return to HTC.... When I returned my phone I hooked it to a car battery charger and fried it till it would not turn on at all...why don't you guys try a different custom Rom first before you go through all the trouble of ruu...there's a few good ones on the site linked in my siginature... If you still want to ruu your phone go to the site linked below and pm me I've got a T-Mobile ruu 2.35 if you used an ota and took your phone to HTC jellybean then you can't run ruu any way...

Have you flashed any roms? A bad kernel can cause this. Well, among other things.

I didnt flash any rom it happen suddenly
other thing i didnt understand whats that

A kernel is the what interprets the commands between the hardware and the software. When the software needs the hardware to do something it sends it to the kernel. So everything is controlled by it. Flashing a new kernel could fix the problem.

Hold Power and Volume Down until the screen shuts off and lights stop flashing, then let go of power and continue holding volume down Your boot loader will open. If it reads "Tampered" "Unlocked" at the top of the screen, you have root access. If it does not then you are stock. To exit boot loader you use the volume button to go to reboot and hit power button to choose.

I have checked it is locked that mean i didnt hv root access now next step what to do should i try unlocking and flashing a custom rom or stock rom

If you want to keep your phone stock, follow a box of kittens advice and try a factory reset. Or download update. If you wish to unlock and flash a custom Rom, please research carefully before doing so. Make sure you know your phones code name wich is also in bootloader info. Should say evita. All unlocking tools and custom roms will be tagged with the evita name.

I have tried a factory data reset but the problem persist
what are the chances for hardware problem

Have you tried downloading the ruu from HTC like jerrycoffman suggested? I would give it a shot and if it doesn't work then follow his advice about a warrenty replacement. It would let you know if it is kernel related or hardware. It's the fastest way to find out and keeps your phone stock for replacement.
