Hi
I just rooted my desire via htcdev. and i have installed CWM 5.somthing on it.
now i have tried flashing ZaSa_4chacha_GB1.54_v2.0 (1.54.401.2).
It boots okay and starts the initial setup process with google account and stuff.
when i finish the setup, everything goes blacke.
It seemes like launcher dosent start?
anyone can help me with this.
i wiped everything before flashing the rom.
/Peter
Did you do a nandroid backup? Try pulling battery, going into Hboot and rebooting with the ROM again and see if that clears up the problem.

Wait, what? I guess it's a typo? Or you are trying to flash a ChaCha ROM on a Desire?

No nandroid backup.
The initial setup process chrashes at the las step. i am able to see the top menu bare, and pull it down but everything else is just black.
I tried pulling the battery and go to hboot an reboot. and now i am stuck on "htc quietly brilliant" logo.
it is possible for me to flash other roms like SuperOSR and they work just fine.

Hi all.
I was trying to cook a little bit in dsixda's kitchen, so i tried to port a rom from the DHD. evereything in the kitchen went well, so i flashed the rom. but when i booted it, it wouldn't boot. it was stuck at the white 'HTC' screen. so i tried to enter Recovery mode. But it stuck at the white 'HTC' screen again...
What can I do to revive my Desire S?
you are pulled the battery out wen it stuck??
Ok. i think i have the solution...
in Fastboot, i can see my DS (ADB), so i'm placing the .img's of my backup in the root of my SD.
i'll try to flash the backup files over fastboot.

Jup. on the white 'HTC' screen. i hope its not the chip fried...
just type in cmd: adb reboot recovery
I have some trouble with the fastboot commands.
i first want to reflash my boot. so i enter
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
But command prompt says: Error: Can not load boot.img
other ideas?

And after removing the battery you couldn't start it with vol - in bootloader?

nope. i go to the bootloader, press recovery. but i get stuck at the white 'htc' screen again. so i'm trying over fastboot now...
i'm downloading an RUU so i hope with stock rom, evereything will be alright again and i can flash LBC back again.
Good luck then. Hope you fix it.

Hmm... i think i have all the files, but the fastboot commands aren't helping me... i get the message 'failed to load update.zip' while its in the root of my SD. when i give the command fastboot update.
----
ok. ive got a little further. i selected a zip from my pc, but cmd said it didn't contain android-info.txt of android-product.txt
Which rom has these files?
and where can i obtain it?
Ok. got it to work again. Used the RUU Program from HTC.
Thanks to evereyone who tried to help me.
Damn. feels like my phone is back in stone age with that stock rom!
yeah... know the feel.
Done a s-off to s-on once....just to test. And stock sucks

now be careful
I had that problem too!
The problem is is that ROM not compitable is for the DS
So put your battery out, boot into recovery and install another/previous ROM and your desire s will boot

The only problem was, i couldn't reach Recovery!
So i tried some stuff in Fastboot, and the solution was the RUU program while in fastboot. And after updating evereything from HTC stock, i restored from CWM my old LBC Mod rom

hi all,
Firstly apologies if this is covered somewhere but for the life of me I cannot get to the bottom of this. I have spent 2 weeks on and off trying to get a solution but my Sensation is still boot looping.
The problem occurred when I turned on the camera but was faced with a blank screen. I could return to home screen but the camera would not work each time I launched. So I rebooted the device but then I was stuck in this boot loop.
Device info
HTC Sensation S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.27.0000
RADIO-11.21.3504.13_2
I was running Insert Coin 2.3.5 ROM for some time without issue
I was hoping I could just do a superwipe and flash a new ROM
FAIL - each time I boot into CWM and select Recovery, it just goes back to bootloop.
I selected Factory Rest from CWM menu
FAIL - it just goes into bootloop
Also cannot use ADB as the device will not connect to the PC. Im using a card reader to put files on the SD card but have not being successful resolving the issue.
Tried an SD card from a stock Sensation, no difference. Booting with no SIM, not working.
Most Bootloop fix's seem to involve super wipes / flashing new ROMs but because my Recovery goes into the bootloop I dont have this option. I wish it was so easy.
Can anybody offer an other ideas.
Thanks for you patience, I am not much of a modder or Android expert. I had just flashed a ROM many months ago to help improve battery life and I was happy with that.
Have you tried re-installing your recovery throught the bootloader?
try different recovery (4EXT) or reinstall recovery again
thanks guys.
I found these flashable recovery files. Both CWM and 4EXT. I have tried both zips and ran the update in HBOOT but am still booting in CWM and if I select RECOVERY is goes too bootloop again.

I think I might just give up and drop the phone into a phone repair shop and let them try it.
Did both flashes work? What do you mean you're "booting in CWM"? Can you boot into your system and are you using CWM app to boot into recovery, or are you manually booting into your bootloader and selecting recovery?

Try this pg58img (it helped me)http://www.wuala.com/LuckyThirteen/Elegancia/Official RUU Sensation/ it will update your sensation to ICS, (you will maintain s-off)
Thanks for that. It flashed fine and I was very hopeful it would work but unfortunately it is still in the boot loop. I feel like crying. Im stuck with an old iphone and I miss my HTC so much.

Yes both flashes worked.
What I mean is, I am manually booting with volume down and power button. In the boot menu I select recovery and it enters boot loop.

Can you please re-flash the stock ics (PG58IMG), look like you have some firmware issues (sometimes you have to flash several time in order to rectify previous mistakes...) Hope it helps, otherwise (in my humble opinion) you have some hardware problem
If you can boot normally into ICS and you are rooted, then get the 4Ext app or the ROM Manager app and flash the recovery through one of those.

so I gave this a go over the weekend and flashed maybe up to 10 times the ICS IMG.
Unfortunately it hasnt worked and Im left with my device looping.
so its off to the phone shop today and hopefully it can be fixed. Pity I rooted it and flashed the ROM as it should still be under warranty but I have voided that now

Flashing the ICS PG58IMG.zip doesn't replace the recovery.
Fix recovery first. Use stock recovery. When you get that working, change to "simple" cwm recovery.
thanks for the advise. It makes perfect sense as it appears it is my stock recovery that is broken.
however, I have searched around and cannot find a stock recovery image that I can flash as PG58IMG.zip.
Any help would be much appreciated.

before flashing stock recovery...can you try this first
get this recovery image
and flash the recovery via fastboot
steps:
1.go to fastboot in your device and connect it to your pc (after this device should read fastboot usb)
2.get the adb/fastboot setup ready guide here
3.go to your adb folder and place the downloaded recovery.img there
4.type fastboot devices (it should show your device serial number)
5.now to flash type
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
this should do...if it didnt work then let me know ASAP...then we'll think of other solutions

EddyOS has them , search that. I'll try to locate them.
I remembered incorrectly, it was only CWM and 4EXt

But you can find stock recovery in this forum:

Hi all, this probably isn't the right place for this question but it wouldn't let me post in develop etc...
I have a major problem, probably self inflicted :good:
I follwed a guide to install a custom ROM without S-OFF others were saying was working that involved unlocking it with HTCdev then using HTC One all-in-one tool to flash my recovery with CWM and then I tried to flash a ROM. It appeared to work and I rebooted.
Now whenever I turn my phone on it just gets stuck on the white screen with green "HTC" on it.
I've tried flashing different ROMs using CWM, some work some just won't even run (Installation Aborted)
I've tried everything i can think of or find and now I'm really stuck!
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Cheers!

I wasn't coming from another rom. I was updating jellybam. I had the 4.0.0 installed. I flashed 5.2.1 and it wouldn't work so i flashed 4.0.0 again. I cleared dalvik cache while flashing 5.2.1.
I full wipe everything when going to new rom, even external if i think the cache files are dirting things up.

still dont know what hboot youre on. did you try fastboot flashing the boot.img? may be best to just start fresh. clear cache, dalvik, system, factory reset. make sure md5 or sha1 match and maybe redownload just to be safe then reflash and if on a newer hboot fastboot flash the boot.img

ah good. no problem.
I rooted my phone and used firewater to get S-OFF (a lifesaver), then unfortunately installed a TWRP recovery that has completely messed up the device. It wouldn't respond at all and I was lucky enough to flash CWM when I got it back to bootloader. Now, at least I do have a recovery to work from.
I can't do a factory reset (just goes back to recovery), can't sideload a new ROM, and tried to flash a new boot.img and system.img from here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2706233
None of these have worked and I'm at a loss in terms of what else I can do to get the phone working again. Any ideas????
