I had the same thing happened to me, it's irritating to see this happen. All it took for me to fix, was to follow the guide provided here.
All I had to do was S-off, Unlock, ClockWork, Root, SuperCID & S-on again. Please let me know how it goes!

Sorry to give you bad news, but you can't use that guide to gain S-off again. You have to be in hboot 1.18 or earlier for revolutionary to work. And you're S-on with hboot 1.27, so no luck there.
My recommendation is to be patient and wait for revolutionary to update, otherwise, you will be wasting a lot of time trying what's out there right now.
There's a lot of people trying to help those who are in the same situation as us (I'm S-on with hboot 1.23), but so far, no method have worked for hboot 1.20, 1.23 nor 1.27.
The only thing you could do is unlock the bootloader with htc dev (don't do it if you don't want to lose your warranty), install a custom recovery (I use 4ext) and then try an ICS ROM or restore a NAND backup if you did one previously. But first read, read, and then read a little more before doing anything else to your phone.

Thanks for you answare but please can you link me a guide or tell me yourself how to unlock it with htcdev. Because i don't know how to do it. Thank you.
How long do you think it will take for Revolutionary to update to my version?

There's something you can try first: Find the ROM.zip of the RUU you installed, extract the boot.img and flash it with fastboot with the command fastboot flash boot boot.img. That, probably, will let you boot and use your phone normally.
You can follow this guide and try your luck trying to go back to S-off: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1469296.
Remember to read carefully everything before attempting anything.
About htcdev:
Here is diagram of the process http://htcdev.com/bootloader/preview_unlock_process and there you have a link to the F.A.Q. too.
Then, you register here http://htcdev.com/bootloader/ and start the process following all the instructions that they give you.
About Revolutionary:
Only them could know that. There is a firmware version with an hboot 1.27 already unlocked by them, so they are still working on the project.

It can be fixed but you updated your h-boot to 1.27, I think it's bricked and I recommend you to send it to the htc

I have the same problem, I went S-ON and on stock GB rom, then installed the OTA update from HTC, now it won't boot. I think I will wait for the 1.27 RUU because I have unlocked the bootloader and don't think HTC will repair it for free.

I'm gonna send it in for support and hope they will fix it

Help installing Endymion - *** Unlocked ***, HBOOT 2.00.002, S-ON

Hi,
I am looking at installing the Endymion ROM however I haven't had much luck following any of the beginner guides and was wondering if anyone can help me through the process.
My phone says this on the boot screen:

I believe I need to downgrade my HBOOT and then S-OFF before being able to install any ROM, however I cant find a guide that worked for my phone.
I was able to UNLOCK the device via HTCDev.
Please help.
Just flash the rom like any other then, extract boot.img from endymion and flash it using fastboot.
fastboot flash boot /pathtoyour/boot.img

@Kearns
Then you didn't do enough reading.... No matter how you cut it, jumping in without a firm understanding is dangerous.
Sooo you can downgrade still (follow the downgrade threads again) or carry on with your HTCdev unlocked phone..... and flash a recovery (don't forget about the boot.img)

Hi all,

You need to downgrade and then use revolutionary.

Any idea's?
SOrry for noob questions, I've never done this myself as i got a friend to do it before. ANd thanks for the help
Dude, you have just unlocked the boot loader.
HTC dev unlock process will not give you S-off, also can cause some warranty issues (don't be disheartened)
Now you need to download a custom recovery and flash it via fastboot.
I would recommend 4ext touch.
Then flash any custom ROM. The guide should have all the details.

I've done that, i used 4EXT_Recovery_v2.2.7_RC5.zip and thats ok. I cleared caches, Changed from 3EXT to 4EXT and then installed REAPER 2.2 then used update 2.2.1 over the top.
So i have 4EXT Recovery installed! I installed the ROM (off SDCARD) with this program and when i reboot it goes into a Boot Loop graphic and stays there.
4EXT Recovery Touch is just a touchscreen version of the one i used no?

Update: After reboot got FC com.android.phone.Switched to 3G and reboot and works good.Tomorrow will try new hboot and radio.
Success in flashing new hboot and radio.Having some issues with CM11 so I restored CM10.2.

Hi, in your signature not details, please tell me how i can downgrade HBOOT
I tried htcdev but my rom version is 2.10.401.8 and not listed on there
Is it now possible to S-OFF a Desire S since the revolutionary site is no longer active ? I can unlock the bootloader via HTCDEV but I'd like to get S-OFF if possible ?

Maybe a slightly naive question......but I obviously need to downgrade my HBOOT to achieve S-OFF on the phone via the Rev method.
Can I restore my HBOOT version back to 2.00.0002 without running another RUU through it or is there another method.
My MIUI ROM works OK under 2.00.0002 should expect problems if it it runs under an earlier version ?

Real issues with RUU update

OK, here's the skinny:
Win7Ulti 64bit
2x Desire S (one orange branded, one stock)
I have tried updating both from the official RUU from HTC both stall copying the update to the phone and after an hour or so, pulling the cable drops to the bootloader.
I have since unlocked the Orange phone from the HTCDev site, still no joy. I've also tried the PG88IMG zip, which is found, loads then drops back to the bootloader.

I'm assuming it's my hboot version, everyone seems to be talking about 2.00.2002. Going to try updating it.
As you are S-ON, use my guide for downgrade and use your preferred RUU. If you have followed it correctly, you shouldn't have any problems.

Err, not sure what I should be downgrading, as I'm already on 2.00.0002. Should I be going to lower than this still?

You don't need to downgrade anything if you are using the latest released RUU.
Your bootloader does need to be locked which yours is not.
Let me clear what I've said: you can follow my guide (downgrading guide), but instead of using a downgrade RUU. Use the one that you prefer, may it be the latest RUU (upgrade your hboot, rom, etc), or old (downgrade your hboot, rom, etc). The guide should help you successfully RUU your phones.
Afaik, the PG88IMG.zip update method is only applicable for S-OFF devices. I may need to be corrected here.

K, will try locking again and running the RUU.

[Q] [q] htc one s vle bricked

Hi Team.
7 Days ago after several times to root my HTC ONE S, it was bricked at least I think.
I´m S-ON, no Root, no ROM, only unlock the bootloader. So when i try to start the phone It was stuck into the red letters behind the HTC ONE logo.
I was the last 7 days reading all the posts, tutorials and youtube videos I google. I make some trys to install the official RUU from the Europe as mi CID is ORANG309 from spanish company but I get the wrong CID error when I try.
Please could anyone confirm if my HTC is totally bricked or I have some expectation.

Well if you cannot find a working RUU then you should just install a custom recovery, install a custom rom, and don't forget to flash the boot.img.
You should be set.

Sure it is okay. You only need to root when keeping a stock ROM on it. Most (all?) roms are rooted. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Being S-On means that you cannot change partitions, radio, bootloader, and have to flash the boot.img when installing ROMs. I would say most people who are using this phone are S-On, not that big of deal.
