Hi Guys,
I really need some help this one........ I rooted my phone sometime ago now and recently in my stupid idiot mind decided to unroot (Yeah stupid i know). Firstly i flashed the RUU:
RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_HTC_Europe_3.12.401.2_Radio_11.65.3504.00U_11.19.3504.29_2_test_233440.exe
Then i went through the s-on process when i finished and rebooted the phone it just kept going to htc logo then blank screen then off and just repeats this process. I've gone into Hboot screen and get this image in the attachment.
Any advice or help would really help I've come over from the Darkside of iPhone so I'm fairly new to all this.

With S-On, you cannot flash a rom from a different region. And your bootloader has changed to 1.23 which i dont think revolutionary is compatible with (the tool to s-off your phone). try flashing the original rom of your phone.

Try flashing an older RUU so u can downgrade hboot version and try running revolutionary again. If not try using official HTC boot unlocker
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using XDA Premium App

Thanks for the reply's I'm sure I've tried to downgrade but I've no clue what version was on the phone before root, i know it was the latest gingerbread at the time 3.4 ???????? Oh and I'm in the UK if that helps?????

Here you can find all the shipped ROMs for Sensation. There are 4 there, if u search for the word "UK", T-Mobile, Vodafone, Orange and H3G. Pickup the one according to your operator.
But please dont use any of those in case your phone is not bound to any operator. Then you'll have to figure out something else. Update here if that is the case and will try to find a ROM for you.

DAMN man! You decided to go S-ON on a ICS LEAK???..... Pretty silly mate
Since you are in the UK, I would go for a STOCK unbranded RUU, to be on the safe side. Search the forum to try and find the stock 1.18.000 hboot.img and flash via PG58IMG in recovery, as the newer hboot's like you now have dont support fastboot commands.
I really dont know otherwise mate....You may have to use htcdev.com to unlock bootloader.

When i purchased the phone it was unlocked but i use Orange uk. I'm not bothered if it was unlocked as I'm only going to use Orange uk anyway so thats not an issue.
I've tried most of the RUU for Europe but just keep getting errors i really do think its a dead end..........

Yeah I'm stupid !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've tried loads of RUU off there and just keep getting errors I've unlocked using htc.dev software, I'll put up another picture of the current state of the device.

Ok.... Try follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1228648 to get stock recovery. Use the 'GET STOCK RECOVERY MANUALLY' and only follow it to step 5.
Get the recovery_signed.img from an RUU like it says... preferably this one http://www.filefactory.com/file/c0a...00U_10.15.9035.02_2_release_228602_signed.exe
Once you got it zip it up using 7zip file manager or winzip etc... and rename it to PG58IMG.zip
Place on your SD card and boot into bootloader and when it asks to update click yes and see if it changes your boot loader back to stock 1.18.000. If it does..then s-off again using revolutionary then FLASH an OFFICIAL RUU not a LEAK!!
If that dont work HTCDEV.com it is mate
I hope this helps.. I not at all experienced much either, but know enough to watch my arse and be careful. You may need an experienced dev from xda to give you some advise

No worries. I HOPE it works..... it's a long shot in all honesty as you've have also gone back to s-on. If you was still s-off then a previous hboot can be flashed no probs.
Worth a try

You zip the image 1st, so it's PG58IMG.zip THEN put into SDCARD and boot into bootloader 'power & vol-' together
It's 'already' unlocked via htc? damn man.... I really dont know then bud. You going s-on on a phone which is already s-off'd by htcdev.com was a waste of time really, because they already know it been unlocked whether you went back to s-on or not.

Yeah I'm really stuck cause if i send it away to htc they will know its been unlocked/locked so I'm sort of screwed. Guess i could play dumb and say it was like it when i got it. Thanks for the help though bud.

Try the .zip file I put up in previous post and let me know.
If it dont work, then Im sorry bud. Worth a shot tho.
If you do go through HTC, keep me informed and let me know what they say.

Right, turn off the phone, now take the .zip file off the sd card and boot into bootloader again but DONT press anything. just tell me what it says now at the top. What hboot number does it say?
You have a stock recovery now, so clicking on recovery inside boot loader takes you to that screen.

I am stuck for 2 days Need help PLZ

Hi guys
I have really strange problem, could you please help me out.
I am was using insert coin rom 4.4.1 and every thing was good so far,
Then i have realized that i have s- off and rooted my phone but i didn't super cid it
So i want to do that, i have supercid it by following the steps listed in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300.
After i reboot the phone, it stayed in the flash screen (HTC screen)
I have reinstalled the rom and even other roms, but nothing was done.
I have tried to reflash it using firmwire 3.24 but samething.
FYI: i have already supercid it i have checked it by adb and it is 11111111
There is small problem, i didn't remember my proper cid, all i know it is a europe version of sensation.
i have this written in recovery session:
REVOLUTIONARY
pyramid PUT ship s off RL

Please help me i am lost here, DONT TELL ME THAT I HAVE DAMAGED THE PHONE!!
Thanks

Not sure if this will help
Hey I am not sure about your problem not heard of this. Maybe you need to super cid before flashing new firmware. Maybe if you can remember what your cid was before, you can change back and see if it makes any difference. maybe once returned to the stock cid you can revert firmware and then super cid. I am not sure though! I am just taking a stab at it since no one else has answered. here is a link with some firmware and it also tells stock cid's for different carriers/countries. Also maybe try flashing different firmware.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
maybe that will refresh your memory to what yours was.
Good Luck
P.S. I think that since you still have access to recovery you will be able to resolve the issue (not hard bricked yet), just need to figure out what the problem is exactly.

Given that you still have access to your SDcard, trying flashing a new rom and firmware (go for Virtuous Inquisition).

I have already tried other roms:
Android rev-hd 3-16-13: negative result
RCMix_ICS_v311_STbase: negative result
The problem is all roms stuck in the splash screen, i have looked in some threads that some people have 30 min for the first boot, for me i kept it for 1 hour or more but it seems that it is stuck, i have checked the temp it isn't hot so may be when i have supercid it , did i make something wrong to supercid it after installing the rom??

If you wanna use ARHD 3.6.13 you need to downgrade your firmware to 3.12 or 1.17 it won't run on 3.24
I would downgrade your firmware, go to a GB rom, get it so your phone boots, then go through the process of going back to ICS.

Last time when I had major issue with my phone, I flashed couple different firmwares and different ICS and GB ROM. And somehow it worked for me. I'm just saying there's always hope. Dont give up! And good luck!

flash the latest official eu RUU, if nothing works.
You can always s-off/root then afterwards.

Nothing, most do not use fastboot commands, so don't worry about it. You are still s-off and able to flash any rom you desire.

I have downgraded my firmwire to 3.12 and i have used hd 3.16.13 GB rom.
The bad news is that nothing done yet, stucking in HTC splash screen.
But there is something i want to add, may be is the clue to this problem .
I have realized that when i remove my SD card from the phone and i want to read it in my PC, it appears protected each time and this is strange (virus effect).
may be my SD card was damaged and it is the only problem of stucking???
What do you think guys??

Perhaps you accidentally set some sort of sharing protection on the SD card, which doesn't let the phone access the adequate files? If so, try reformatting your card on fat32. And then copy back the firmware/rom and attempt flashing again.

i have already formatted the SD card, coping Rom and firmwire PG58IMG reflash the rom .
Still stuck in HTC S screen.
What about RUU?
Any suggestion ?

If your bootloader says LOCKED like you previously indicated then you can not use fastboot commands as kpjimmy already said. Because you never supercid your phone you probably have some partial firmware update.
If I were you I would flash an older RUU to get to a known stable config and then start over.

No i have changed the firmwire and it is written revolutionary in purple.

You have to remove the firmware from the card after flashing it. But to bypass it, does your phone boot once you flash the rom and then remove the sd card?

kpjimmy
when i updated the firmware hboot then the phone wrote push the power button to reboot, the problem is the phone will try to run the rom already installed in the phone, so i am forced to remove the battery and then remove the firmware from my PC.
in order to install the new rom.

GBR-V33_-_21160519_710RD.html---- tried third was successful
I did all the things, wiped all user data, davlik, cache. And then installed the GBR-V33 and placed PG05IMG zip file into my sd card but my phones doesn't seems to turn on. It gets stuck on HTC logo screen.??
After installing GBR-V33 I tried going to to the Hboot so that I can update PG05IMG but my phone doesn't ask me for that, also I can't manually update PG05IMG, installation gets aborted.
Since this didn't work, I tried the Custom ROM.

Placed it on my SD card and followed the screen instruction but this time my phone start, comes to HTC SENSACTION with audio beats and keeps restarting??
No matter how much I tried I can't get my phone fully on??
Please help me.
What can I do to make my phone the way it was. mean to be able to use my phone again?
Thanks in advance
I am really worried.

Well your phone was bootlooping when you installed insert coin sense 4 Rom means ....you probably didn't have correct/updated firmware...
Can you post the details from your bootloader screen...
I want hboot version, radio, soff or son
You cam go to bootloader by switching off your phone- remove the battery and put it back-them press power + volume down button together..then you will get bootloader screen

if you got nandroid backup .....you can restore data of the apps...(do this only if you got ICS based nandroid backup) ..that will bring back your apps upto date...(but first install all the apps again...i think this will be taken care of if you add your google account)

Well.
I didn't create any back-up. and also I forgot my google security question as well as password.
I think I will start by installing all the apps I can remember.
BTW what about the apps I have stored in my sd card? will I be able to use them?

you mean the apps that were moved to your sd card...from internal storage...

All the apps has been removed but I have all my pic on my sd card.
never mind. I will install all apps one by one.

Some one briked the phone

Hello! On my work whe have a lots of Desire S phones. One of my colegues manage to unlock one. The phone was working fine. The phone was passed to another colegue (the first went to retirement) and whe he tried to update something (wireless and with less than 25% of batery) the phone got stuck... I been doing everything that I saw here on XDA... So what can I do? Thank´s...

Phone got stuck, as in stuck at htc logo?
Have u tried to enter into recovery/fastboot?
If able to enter into fastboot, give us the details u see there, or a screenshot would be good as well if you are unsure what detail is to give.
What was your friend updating? firmware? if you are on a custom rom and tried to update the official firmware then it is a no no no no bad boy no u shouldnt have done that.

So on the phone :

Not sure if it's you posting or some one with the same issue, but check this out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1920636
read the 2nd post and try it out. if it is indeed a fried emmc chip there are a few way(not sure 1 or 2 out there) to salvage ur phone, or u could just replace the chip, there is a post some where in general section.

I think I guessed the problem.
Someone wanted to update ENG S-Off Desire S (with old ENG bootloader) to official ICS RUU. The update "completed successfully", but since the bootloader didn't let the update overwrite itself - the official update can't work, because it expects /system/lib partition that doesn't exist on old ENG bootloader.
The solution is to flash new ENG bootloader (7.xxxx), found in Development section, and then run official RUU again. It'll work and the phone will work again too.
By the way, the solution can be easily found if searching - I already remember such a thread. "Red triangle" is a stock recovery, search could have easily told you that. And goldcard is useless by itself, it's needed for flashing RUU.
And if the above doesn't work, because RUU gets stuck updating - address the "fried eMMC" post.

You cant go wrong with seniors like Jack_R1 watching over desire s forum. :fly away:

[Q] Phone wont get past android logo

All of a sudden one day I turned it on and it wouldnt go past the htc logo. It comes on, stays on the logo for a few seconds then reboots. I dont know what could have caused this but my friend had it for the day and when I got it back this started happening. I've tried turning the phone on without a simcard and memory card, fractory reseting and wiping the cache partition.
I am a newb but have gotten a reasonable amount of knowlege on android over the past 24 hours but so far none of the posts or information i've gotten on the internet has proven useful. Does anyone know of a solution or advice which may help me with booting to my os.
By the way I have an HTC sensation 4g on T-mobile
Not to sure of the version of android thou but I have a HBOOT of 1.18.

Bricked ..

this same thing happened to me but i have the Sensation not the 4g .. but i'm sure you probably messed up in the firmware update bit .. as i remember that logo flash and restart all the time ..

you've got to get any files concerning the firmware you had off your sd card before you try anything else ..

I tried flashing but i only got a little farther then kept restarted again. I turned it on the next morning and it wouldnt even turn on.

Need more details...
Stock?
Rooted?
S-on or s-off?
Custom recovery installed?
One thing is for sure, your phone isn't bricked and can be restored. The details of the device in the questions above are needed to determine exactly how to fix it though.
It sounds like your ROM got corrupted. (I can't even guess how) Ultimately you will be able to fix this by installing a new ROM. It's just a matter of figuring out what procedures you need to use based on your set up in order to do that.

It is stock, but i flashed it from gb to ics to try to resolve the problem. Rooted with htcdev, s-on. Also I installed CWM after it began to do that. I flashed a new hboot but that solved nothing, the next day it got worse and wouldn't even turn on.

you should used revolutionary.io method to S-OFF easily your device with that hboot version
that means that you have GB firmware and an ICS rom can't run in that fw version
while your are S-ON you should have installed 4ext recovery,enable smartflash from it and then flash a GB rom
after that you said you flashed a new hboot
i am not sure if you can do that as your are S-ON
and the result is not even turning on!
it seems to me that your device is bricked
use the unbricking project from dev section
edit:can you still enter to bootloader?

I cannot use revolutionary because i get the phone to go past the htc logo. I could only get into the bootloader. I upgraded from 1.18 to 1.27 so s-on didnt matter. I tried to unbrick but it said no device found.

from fastboot connect your device into the pc
go to the folder where you have adb and fastboot files
open a command window there and do
fastboot getvar version-main
i assume you have 3.32.or3.33 firmware but do it
if yes then from this thread do step 2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861
after that enable smartflash from recovery and flash an ics rom
