As the title says. I received an HTC Desire S, which is stuck on the htc screen, from my friend. It won't boot and it seems like a brick.
I can although enter the bootloader with power button + volume down.
These are the following information:
SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT -0.98.0002
RADIO - 3805.06.02.03_M
eMMC - boot
Mar 30 2011, 17:29:31
I tried flashing a RUU, but that didn't work. I think the major problem is with the S being ON. Is there any way I can boot this device at all? It's kinda of a shame since it's basically in a good as new condition...
Thanks for all the help in advance!
What happened when you tried ruu? Error?
Device should still be covered by original warranty

The installation gets stuck at "Rebooting into bootloader".
I don't know about the warranty, but I'll tell him to return it if all else fails.
Are you sure that the necessary drivers are installed on the PC?
does the ruu give any errors? Or is that what you said above
If you enter the boot loader can you perform a full data reset? Any errors?

Boot into bootloader, switch to fastboot mode (select FASTBOOT with volume keys and press Power), connect USB, see that you have correct drivers and the phone is recognized, run the RUU. It'll work.
Hi SlashSpeed,
propably you got the same problem like me. No solution for me so far:

What error returns on flashing the RUU?
Hi
Try S-OFFing your phone from revolutionary.io and flash one of the pre-rooted roms

This is not possible without adb or recovery?!
So here's my findings so far.
I tried running RUU from fastboot mode. No errors, installation gets stuck at "Rebooting into bootloader". I waited for over 2 hours and nothing happened. My PC recognizes the bootloader as "Android Bootloader interface" and fastboot as "My htc" in device manager.
I also tried running PG88IMG.zip with no luck. It gets stuck at [2] BOOTLOADER - Updating and nothing happens, even after hours.
The only think I have left for now, is the goldcard method it seems. I'll try it with my HTC G1 and report back.
Edit: Actually, I have no idea how to perform the goldcard method...some help would be much appreciated.
As he hasn't unlocked the device he should still be covered over the original warranty

Actually, I asked him about that a couple of days ago and apparently, the device is not in warranty anymore. So unless I can fix it somehow, it's dead for good..
You need to unlock the device and S-off it before flashing a Custom Rom.
First follow this thread:
[GUIDE] How to S-OFF your 1.47.x ROM with Revolutionary
Then follow this thread:
[Info] After Revolutionary: install Clockworkmod, root & more
Or install 4ext and install 4Ext Recovery with the install button.
After your done, flash your desired rom. I would recommend Endymion Rom
If you want a stock rom let me know.
Hope this helped you, if not report back.

Did you install a custom recovery and can you still get into it? if yes then try wiping cache and dalvik cache and then restarting...
also answer post above did you separately run the
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
command?

I read through the first link you sent me and I need to have the device turned on with USB Debug on. I can't do that, since it's stuck on the HTC screen. I can only access the bootloader and fastboot.
Hi SlashSpeed,

Wait, do I need to do those steps that are quoted or just with the windows batch script?
I have to do the quoted steps a-g with my HTC Dream, so I presume I'll have to use that device for the adb as well?
Sorry for this sort of questions, I have never done these things before.
Hi all,
I hope one of you masterminds is able to help me out.
I tried to root my sensation without s-off with hecdev.com (using One_X_All-In-One_Kit_v1.0) and then tried to install cm9 from one the links here via revcovery with CWM 5.8.0.9.
But then I was stuck with the loading animation...
I cannot run Android now, so I cannot flash a stock RUU.
I can enter bootloader, which seems to be unlocked, here's the info:
"Unlocked"
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.27.0000

Jan 13 2012,17:33:34
I was on the latest official ROM (ICS, via OTA) before trying that.
I have not succeeded in flashing a ROM anymore.
Do I need to get S-Off first?
Or is HBOOT to new? Do I have to revert? How?
I tried older HBOOT, but it wouldn'T do anything after PArsing
Please help, any hint is appreciated =/
PS: I would be more than happy to have a stock rom again...as mentioned, cannot use a ruu.exe file, as it seems fastboot usb ist not recognizable by ruu.exe
Edit: After the 4th or 5th try, RUU recognized the phone when in fastboot usb mode, but update fdailed, cwm saif "security fail" ... sigh, seems I really blew it this time

Hi,
Start again using THIS GUIDE
Flash the boot.img from your ROM through fastboot.
Extra step 1 from this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25587345
Be sure to use the boot.img from your ROM.
Then make a clean install of the ROM again.
Also, read that thread for the sake of understanding what you're doing.
There is NO need yet to flash an RUU.
Latest OTA comes with hboot 1.29 which is locked.
You might not be in the latest one, perhaps start with an RUU with.the latest fw (3.33).

thanks malybru & kgs1992 - tried that, and the 4ext touch recoery said both superwipe and the rom installed correctly.
but when rebooting the white screen with the green htc logo appears right away and nothing more happens...any idea? I may have messed up the kernel before, but when asked by ext4 recovery whether to flash a kernel, tried both custom and stock, none changed the problem with booting up
@Raven2k: Manually installing boot.img with fastbok seemed to help, at least I come over the white screen, am stuck with the beatsaudio logo right now - thanks so far =)

Hello to all,
For some reason my HTC Sensation won't boot - it keeps on rebooting on the white htc screen.
It started doing this 1-2 weeks ago. Yesterday I managed to get inside the ClockworkMod Recovery somehow from HBOOT, and restored an old backup. Then I installed a newer radio and [ROM] Android Revolution HD 6.7.2 (the page recommended updating the radio). I also flashed the 4EXT Touch recovery, as it was required by this ROM, so I changed from Clockwork to 4EXT. The device worked for 1-2 hours, and then after one restart, it wouldn't boot again. This time I can't access anything but HBOOT and FASTBOOT.
Of course ADB doesn't work as I can't boot the device.
So the question is - what shall I update via fastboot "fastboot update update.zip" so that I restore my device? Or what file shall I put on the SD Card so that HBOOT can recover it (I have access to other devices, so I can place something on the SD card)?
I've been trying to flash various ROM's and RUU's but all of them give an error.
The configuration inside HBOOT says the following:
-Revolutionary-
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.27.1100
RADIO-11.24A.3504.31_M
OpenADSP-v02.6.0.2226.00.0104
eMMC-boot
Jan 12 2012,17:33:34
I also tried flashing a few recoveries via fastboot (clockworkmod recovery.img and 4ext recovery.img), but could get inside them :/
Let me know what else could I do.
Thanks for the support!
I just managed to get to the ClockworkMod recovery and installed a new ROM - OpenSensation. It worked during the first boot, but then when I rebooted the phone - the same thing happens - it keeps on rebooting on the htc white screen.
Of course I can no longer go to the ClockworkMod recovery.
I also notice that when going back and fourth between HBOOT and FASTBOOT menus, at the top the version for RADIO appears and disappears.
I am not sure if all this is a hardware or software problem, but it is strange that from time to time I manage to get to a recovery and install a ROM which works for a while and then sends me back to this rebooting loop.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Might be a hardware failure but.. First try ruu and restore to complete stock. Most of the times this fixes the issue..
For finding and flashing a ruu.. Look for ruu info guide by kgs1992 in sensation general section
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
Thanks for the help. I managed to install successfully the following RUU:
RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.50.401.1_Radio_10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_223042_signed
but it didn't work... it installed successfully, but the phone keeps on restarting on the white htc screen.
I figured that might be because of the firmware installed (I was on Android 4.0.x), so maybe this RUU is older.
I am downloading right now:
RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_HTC_Europe_3.32.401.5_R_Radio_11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M_release_252064_signed.exe , which definitely must be Android 4.0.x so I hope it works.
Thanks for the help and thanks to kgs1992
Ruu is complete rom.. It has everything In it.. When you run ruu you shouldn't consider the firmware, recovery etc etc.. It has everything built in
So when you flashed the gb ruu.. It flash stock recovery, stock gb firmware and stock rom
So when you flashed gb ruu it has turned to complete gb rom.. Anyways less hope that the ICS ruu works fine
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
Somehow I thought that the firmware is separate, although I wasn't sure.
Anyway - the fact is that after a successful RUU update, the phone keeps on rebooting and couldn't boot even once. I hope the next RUU fixes it.
thanks,
Anton
Still doesn't work after trying a second RUU: RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_HTC_Europe_3.33.401.6_Radio_11.76A.3504.00U_11.24A.3504.31_M_release_266171_signed.exe

try a AOSP ROM/CM9/CM10 lot of people had these kind of issues and they can boot only to a non sense roms ..may be you could boot fine on non-sense roms too
How would I flash CM9 CM10 or any AOSP, when I have access only to "fastboot". So far I could only flash those RUU-s from a Windows machine, as I can't get to any recovery.
Would it work if I try "fastboot update cm9.zip" or something similar?
Thanks,
Anton

Fastboot update command won't work
As you are soff.. You can flash jbhboot or 3.33 universal firmware with every thing removed except hboot_xxxx.nb0 file.. And unlock the hboot first
Then flash a recovery (you can avoid hboot flash and try a PG58IMG.zip file of recovery) from fastboot
Then from.. Recovery flash the cm9 or any AOSP rom
If you can't boot to recovery even after flashing the recovery fine.. Then try this command
fastboot boot recovery.img
(it boots into recovery temporarily.
From there you will flash a rom)

You can try using Fastboot Commnder
Instructions:
-download tool
-unpack zip and click on .exe application (is a stand alone app, so you have to click and confirm installation, that's all!)
-open tool
-put DHD in "Fastboot Mode"
-plug it to your pc usb
-Wait for "print of device succesfull"--(if fails, check your sdk driver)
-here you go to "misc"
-select: erase partitions (system,cache,userdata,boot) Don't select recovery
-click on "Erase chosen partition"
-Done
You can use this tool to flash a new ROM or even to flash a recovery.img
Your problems might also come from not flashing the correct recovery.
Make sure you have the latest version. Good luck
Hi there.
2 things before i explain the problem: 1) Yes, I'm a noob and 2) sorru for bad english.
So, today I was trying to install a different custom rom because the previous one (official ICS) was too slow, etc..
My desire S was a branded one, unlocked, etc.
Now I have:
UNLOCKED

After trying to install the custom rom (fallout 5.0) etered the recovery and do a full wipe and a format. After that I copied on the sd card the ROM .zip and flashed from recovery. Always seem to be good, but when the phone rebooted, it was stucked on the white htc one screen.
I've tryied lot of guides and tool s here, but nothing helps me (5 hours on the forum).
A very big help will be very appreciated.
Thanks guys!

Do I simply flash it from recovery than flash the boot.img?

flash your rom ->reboot into bootloader ->flash boot.img using fastboot command ->reboot your phone
every time you install a new custom rom, you need to flash the boot.img

I think that I cannot flash any custom rom because (I think) I have to downgrade the 2.02 hboot.
By the way here the list of things I did with
RUU ICS, UNLOCKED, SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL, HBOOT-2.02.0002:
- recovery (cyanogenmod) > full wipe, etc
- install from zip file > fallout 5.0
- flash boot.img
After that everything seems good but when the phone reboot, it will stuck into htc one white screen (or black whit an other rom).
Thanks for help
EDIT: the only thing I want is to flash and test every roms I want, without having always some king of problem.
What command did you use to flash boot.img. Try to be precise rather than just say i flashed the boot.Img.

To me it looks like you used the command "fastboot boot boot.img" instead of "fastboot flash boot boot.img", could that be the case?

Yep, maybe this is the reason of my fail. I think I lost one "flash"
I'll try later and let you know if everything is ok
So, I'm trying to flash the rom. I've wipe everything, than flashed the rom. Now I entered the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img". The prompt still show "waiting for device". What the hell?
"fastboot devices" didn't give me an answer same as "adb devices"
Uhm... Maybe I need to reinstall htc sync drivers? :angel:
Ok, nevermind, I needed to reinstall correct win7 64bit drivers.
So. I success with fastboot flash boot boot.img. The phone is still stuck on the HTC one white screen. FUUUUU!
EDIT: SUCCESS!
Just need to wait 5 mins!
Thank you all!
Hi,
Looking for some help with flashing ROMs
My phone is HBoot 2.15
Using TWRP v2.7.1.0
Every ROM I flash seems to install correctly but when booting I get the white HTC screen then the screen goes black and/or reboots (into a loop)
I'm using the HTC One S All-In-One Toolkit 'ADB Sideload a ROM' option to flash ROMs.
Phone was on Orange UK, CID ORANG001
Any ideas if I'm missing something simple?

I assume you're S-On, aren't you? Did you flash the kernel (boot.img) via fastboot after flashing the rom? Since you're S-On roms won't boot without this step.
