Looking for a little help with desire s on 2.3.5 - HTC Desire S

Ok i have been going over every inch of the forums and all over the internet and i really run out of ideas.
i have a HTC Desire S on 2.3.5 with HBoot 2.00.0002, ive used HTCdev to unlock the bootloader and used superoneclick to root my phone (sort of) but my phone is stuck with S-ON.
i have tried everything i have found but the bootloader is stuck on the stock one, i have Rom Manager on my phone and ive tried the 4EXT but because of the phone being stuck on S-ON when it goes to the recovery part it errors out and i have to jack the battery out to get it to restart.....
HELP please :3

First your rom is rooted but system is not. You can install custom recovery , but use fastboot to flash it and all will works fine. For this problem when you go recovery you don't need to pull battery never pull it for this phone. Press volume up+volume down and then press power button and keep all pressed and phone will reboot normal

@RageReaper
Not really sure whats going on, cause you are confused and should do MORE reading.
Root is not the same as s-off, so look into that.
You unlocked your bootloader using HTCdev, thus you are still s-on and stock hboot but now can root your phone, have a custom recovery and flash roms. - NORMAL!!!!
Try flash the recovery in fastboot.
Just to be sure your hboot does say UNLOCKED at the top right?

yes it says its UNLOCKED but im trying to S-off my phone so i can make a copy of my OS so if something goes wrong i can always go back to it
so whats the best way to S-off my desire s?, Thank you in advance and to the people that will help

@RageReaper
You can do that once you install a custom recovery. Nandroid backup..

Ive managed to root my older android phones but this is really starting to bug me I can't get nandroid to work because after I used superoneclick I installed Rom manager to make a back up and it did the clockwork mod but the recovery part of my hboot errors out this is why I'm asking for help because I think I dropped the ball on this one

As said before in post 2+3, use fastboot to flash recovery.
Install clockworkmod, see here under section 1, step 2.

Has been HTCDev unlocked and superoneclick (zurgrushed)
i have been reading all morning and all the tutorials ive read are for the old HBoot and older stock (before 2.3.5 update) android os.
Hope someone can point me in the right direction.
Thank you

It doesn't matter if the guides are talking can't s-off phone's and different hboot's, they will work still.
Do the following,
-Turn off fastboot menu/settings/power/
fastboot (on the phone)
-Turn on USB debugging menu/Settings/
Applications/Development/ USB debugging (on
the phone)
Okay, get into fastboot, boot into your hboot (switch phone off and the
press power+vol down)
Plug your phone in,
Now your phone is plugged in and in hboot, press the power button once, it'll say something like fastboot usb.
Follow the link I gave you now.

After tht I ran Juopunutbear S-OFF(Step 6) my device restarted and went on the Juopunutbear loop and it stays there(waited fr a long time).
what i really think is that i messed up and kinda skipped step 2(Restore to Stock 3.32 Rooted ROM) and 3(Flash boot.img from Stock 3.32 Rooted ROM in Fastboot) of the guide.
then i pulled out my battery and tried starting it again but still it keeps on showin the Juopunutbear(with a HD) loop type thingy.
then i tried backing up from boot but whatever i press doesnt work and the device just restarts
i tried recovery and everything else but no use, it just restarts

for new HBOOTS (1.27 ) juopunutbear is the only method
now either you can try SOFF using the auggie2k guide
or
if you want to flash custom roms with S-ON
follow this guide

see the soff process takes you to that screen
and you need to do wire trick there ...
if you got unsuccessful in wire trick ...you need to revert back to normal working state (i.e. trouble shoot point 4 i've mentioned)
what you did is ran controlbear until half ...and without reverting back to normal ..you tried to do other stuff which will obviously wont work
next stipe follow the steps

deamon not running ..means adb failed to detect your phone
that is probably you didnt uninstalled HTC-sync or you are using usb hub, or usb 3.0 port
check the prerequisites in the soff guide present in my link ..you need to meet all of them
also check trouble shoot point 3 ...it has wire trick tips and solutions to different problems that might arise due to wire trick

I Give Up With ICS - Can I Revert Back To Gingerbread (Please)

Firstly thanks to everyone who give their time to help
My tech skills are useless, all these terms s-off, s-on, roms etc
is above my pay grade, my brain is fried i am jumping from thread to thread
trying to fix my wifi issue and it's driving me dilly.
I am on Android 4.0.3 - Sense 3.6, phone is rooted HTC-Dev and Flashed 4EXT.
I have been trying to fix the WiFi issue but im getting nowhere, i give up.
Can i revert back to Gingerbread?
Is there a step by step guide?
Help Appreciated
Thanks
1st: are you s-on or s.off?
If you are s-off you can extract the rom.zip from the appropriate GB RUU (but you dont tell what is) then rename it PG58IMG. Put in the root of your sd card (not in a folder) and reboot the device while holding down volume+ power button.
PG58IMG willbe automatically recognized and start to do its things. Then you will be prompted if you want to upgrade. Say yes by pushing volume up.
Wait untill the entire process is done and prompted to reboot (it may reboot itself a couple of times during the process, just do nothing and wait).
At the end of process you will be back to GB and need to set the phone like new. You will lose all data and settings.
Hope it helps.
How do i know if i'm S-off or S-on?
Used HTCDev to unlock bootloader then flashed 4EXT and something called
CWM-SuperSU-v0.96?
Thanks
This is the method i used:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1632553
Good day my dear friends,
Boring Intro------
Yesterday I was trying to root my wife's HTC Sensation which I upgraded to Official Middle East ICS 4.0.3 hboot 1.27.000 and I found this way by pure luck-----
I installed CMW and did the rooting while the device is S-ON
I'm not sure if this is a new method or was done before but I thought I'd share it to return some of your favors in this great forum.
I need to thank Mr.hasoon2000 because we will use his tol from the HTC One X forum.
Requirements:
1. Download the HTC One X All-In-One Toolkit V1.0 from this link, Thanks Mr.hasoon2000 I hope you don't mind me using your tool here.
2. Download the latest CMW recovery , choose the latest for Pyramid (The Sensation) in *.img. Here is the CMW 5.8.0.9 link.
3. Download SuperSU 0.88.zip, thanks Mr.Chainfire or from this link [23.04.2012] SuperSU v0.88.
Step By Step Method:
1. Copy the SupperSU.zip file to your SD root.
2. Extract the HTC One X All-In-One Toolkit V1.0 to the Disktop.
3. Connect your Mobile and make sure you're in the charging mood and your check USB development or debugging option.
4. Run the One X.exe application.
5. Install the HTC drivers.
****If you unlocked your Sensation's bootloader from HTCdev.com then skip step 6 ****
6. Register in HTCdev.com website, choose Unlock Bootloader, choose your device and follow the instructions. ~This May Void your Warranty~
7. Rename the CWM recovery to CWM5827, then copy it to HTC One X All-In-One Toolkit folder/Data folder/recoveries and replace the one inside.
8. Flush the CWM recovery using the toolkit, horray you installed CWM.
9. From Commands choose Boot into recovery and from CWM flush the SuperSU.zip.
10. Congratulations, You're Now ROOTED .
Unthick fastboot from your phone (should be under settings-Battery) Then reboot phone while holding volume down + power buttons and read what the bootloader says.
Or pull out and reinsert battery, then power up the phone while holding down volume
remove battery from phone
Remove any memory card installed in phone
put battery back into phone
press volume down..
While pressing volume down
Press power button...
Continue pressing both Until you enter bootloader
You will see white screen, print lots of writing in different colored text, but the top line will say 's-on' or 's-off'

By the way I dont understand why you want to go back to GB. Once you are back you will be prompted to update to ICS again!.
Why dont you run directly a stock ICS RUU and see it it solves your issue?. In case you are S-On that would be the easiest way (the RUU).
If you want to go back to the way the phone was when you first got it, no root or anything, use an RUU
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1672425
That's everything you need to know. Basically run a program in Windows with the phone plugged in and it'll do all the work for you.
OK guys looks like i'm S-ON

Will that put me back to Gingerbread?

No, if you are s-on the easiest way is to run the appropriate RUU.exe (still ICS not GB). But first you need to make some search and detect what is the right RUU for you according to your country, cid and mid.
When you will find it, just download the exe and, plug your phone to the pc and execute the RUU.exe
You cannot go back to GB as you are S-On.
RUU works for either the same software version or up not down.

[Q] HTC Sensation stuck on boot screen

Hi Guys, hoping I can get some help.
I've been working on a sensation but it's got me a bit stumped. The phone is sticking on the boot screen and I cant access the recovery. I've tried taking the battery and then holding down the volume key whilst powering back up. I've tried using KGS utility but it cant find the phone. It's been a while since I have fiddled about with phones so I might be missing something but if I could just get back in the recovery I'm pretty sure I could sort it out.
Any help is gratefully appreciated
Hi there can some other issues. The first, what os you're using, I mean hboot version? The problem is that every android os version needs its own hboot. One case of solving is to install a clear ROM, but you'll loose all your info. Another is to install just hboot that supports yous OS. You'll have to find it out.
Update of hboot runs from windows commander, you can download it from internet easily. If you're using mac, sorry cannot tell anything.
Good luck.

Yeah I've shift and right clicked the the white space in the folder but no option to 'Open command window here'
I'll google it to see if its because it's win xp.
And yeah sorry I should have explained a bit more in detail but I opened the command prompt box (cmd.exe) and then the recovery image that I downloaded from step 2, I just dragged and dropped it onto the command prompt, if that makes sense :good:
followed step 2 but still unable to get access to recovery
None of the sotware I'm using to recover the phone is finding the device..bricked?
Before doing anything try going to bootloader first
Power off phone.. Remove battery..reinsert it..Then hold vol down + power for some time..It will take you to bootloader
Then post all the details bootloader shows here.. Then we can continue further

I finally managed to get in the recovery by using the volume down key and power button. I then used super wipe to clean things up. Then I tried to restoring to my original ROM that I'd backed up but I'm still getting stuck on the boot screen. So I then tried to get access to the recovery again using the same method, volume down and the power button, but it wont access it again

froyo rom?on sensation?
nevermind.the problem is when you are flashing a new rom it doesn't flash the boot partition by itselF(S-ON devices)
the only thing you have to do is download an ICS rom(because of your hboot version you have 3.32fw or3.33fw)
enable smartflash from recovery and then flash the rom
froyo it can't be run in that fw version not even GB.
cool - thanks for the advice. I'll give it a go now

I've flashed a ICS rom and the phone is now booting up fine. So I can I go ahead and put on the ROM I want or do I have to enable smartflash?
If your S on, yes you must enable smart flash. Every time you flash a rom. Best wishes

Hi
I have tried looking around this forum for a way to install CWM recovery on a HTC Sensation unlocked S on I am getting more confused and have quite a pile of zip files been trying this for 2 days now
Clockwork rom manager throws a message saying must root phone superuser not found at "/system/bin su or xbin/su I have super user installed
I have tried fastboot flash recovery recovery.img cant find the file or no such file (i pointed to the correct folder) Using Android SDK (not sure if it is installed correctly but had the required files in the folder with the unlock. bin
Tried HTC One X All-In-One Toolkit it said done but S is still on
Any Help very much appreciated and sorry if I have not done the obvious
Thanks

with all in one tool kit you won't bring S-OFF
from this thread try to flash this recovery.it is better than cwm
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861 (only step 2)
I used HTC One X toolkit, but it wouldn't S-Off as I had hboot 1.29.0000, therefore couldn't use revolutionary method. In this instance you can s-off using a paperclip, some insulating tape, and running the ControlBear software. To find out how to do this, type the following into YouTube:
JuopunutBear S-Off HTC Sensation.
... That will show you how to achieve S-Off which will unprotected the nand storage to write enabled so you can flash a new ROM.
See JuopunutBear website for instructions. You can find it by typing:
unlimited.io
... Into google.
or you can use the guide from our forum in dev section

because you are S-ON when flashing a rom it doesn't write the boot partition by itself
the only thing you have to do is enable smartflash from 4ext recovery and after flash the rom
or
you can follow extra 1 step in the link i provided you in my first post

Done the wire trick, got it after a few attempts recovery screen now says
revolutionary
Pyramid pvt ship s off RL
Hboot 1.27.1100
Radio 11 24a 3504 31 H
now asking for update I ok that phone eventually boots up then says unexpected UI error and screen goes blank. I cant get anything transferred to the phone as the pc isnt seeing it
Is there anyway to get a recovery on the phone so I can load a rom.
Juopunutbear backed up my images but have no idea how to get them back. Before the wire clip trick the phone had Super-Threading-Rom-v1.2.1 4ext recovery it seemed better than my old clockwork recovery
If this isnt bricked what rom would you suggest and how do i flash it
Thanks

how did you get S-OFF with juopunutbear method when it was already be done with revolutionary?

[Q] HTC Sensation stuck on Juopunutbear screen!

Hi,
I have a HTC Sensation. I wanted to root the phone, so that I could install custom ROM's. Fist I unlocked the phone following HTCDev's instructions. It worked fine. The bootloader screen said UNLOCKED. After that, I decided to S-OFF the phone with Juopunutbear. I ran the temp_root.bat first, then I ran ControlBear.exe. Everything went fine. I got the message that I should do the wiretrick, which I did. From this moment on, I am stuck. I tried to run temp_root_remove.bat but that didn't work. I tried all kinds of thing. (example: I tried to flash original RUU from HTC to the phone, but then while sending signature it has an ERROR.)
Please help me!

hi
greetings,
visit here and check troubleshoot http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661631
can you tell on which screen the phone is stuck?
You got error while flashing a ruu as your bootloader is unlocked, lock the bootloader and you can run the ruu (keep this as the last option)

I have done this troubleshooter. It did not help. I am stuck on the juonunutbear screen with the green arrow pointing down.
EDIT: i have tried also relocking the phone (which went well) and installing the original RUU. It has a problem/error message when "sending signature".
tnx for your help until now

Same issue
Hi there....
I'm not new to Android and have had my Sensation for over two years. Previously to that, I was using a blackberry changing os files and such.
I'm having the same problem as the user above and frankly not sure what to do at this point.
I've gone to the HTCdev and unlocked the bootloader but the phone has S-On.
Downloaded the Controlbear program and didn't realize I needed the wire to finish the steps. I exited the program and now it's stuck at that screen.
I've pulled out the SD card and formated it on my PC to then put on a rom to at least get it to boot into it but that hasn't worked.
I've also downloaded the RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_TMOUS_3.32.531.14 stock rom to try to reset it but the name of the device shows as asjds.
When I run the program, It had problems installing stopping on the black htc screen. Now it just boots up to the white screen with green HTC logo.
I'm really not sure what to do at this point. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

did you remove the temproot?

The thing is whenever my phone comes on it goes directly into the bootloader page and within few minutes it hangs and turns off, so if i plug it to the system it doesnt even recognise it. so if am to do the temproot, am not sure my system would recognize the phone.
