Hi everybody!
I cant english! but I try to describe my problem!
My phone is HTC desire S (saga), which run 2.3.5, S-on and unlocked bootloader, non-root!
Today, I try flashing recovery and up MIUI rom. Recovery was flashed success, and then I started to up the rom. Rom up complete, then the phone restarted and stuck on logo screen. Some one please help !!!!!! Now my phone only go to fastboot and recovery!!!! please help me!!!!
Hi there!
I don't have Desire S, but I'm no new to flashing.
First of all - if You can go into fastbot and recovery it's not a brick.
Second - sometimes first time boot of new rom can take couple of minutes (on my hero record was almost 12 minutes).
Third - You claim that You can go to recovery - so You can do restore (You remembered to make backup, right?). Or just flash a new compatible ROM.
I hope this helps

when you flashed it the first time, did you clear all data in the recovery section?
When you flashed the ROM it seemed fine, if you dont delete the data, it can go mental. Since its data from an entirely different rom. and even if the new rom boots, it can be very unstable, and since your not getting that far, as suggested either revert to your nandroid back up (you did make one didnt you ?) or just try reflashing the rom you did the first time BUT delete all data, you can do this from the recovery section. Good luck

No need for all caps, bro, makes it harder for people to read.
Do you have a nandroid backup from before all this happened or something ?

Ya i kno (bout the caps) the button was stuck where i was at. Yea i did hava a back up, but ended up figureing it out last night. i eneded up flashing (fastboot) CDMA STOCK Kernal and all was well. I have reflashed it and works fine. but got one more ? (im just learning the android side of developing but is flashing the kernel optional with new roms or with certain roms you have to flash it, and if i ened up resoting after i flash a kernel so i need to flash back to the kernel i was using before.
Long time lurker first time poster. I had a Nexus One two years ago so I was here very very often.. Since I got my Desire S a year ago, I haven't been able to flash a custom rom OR S-OFF.
Unlocked with HTCdev, rooted, HBOOT 2.00.0002 (downgrading hboot never worked either), S-ON
Last night I tried again to get onto ICS (official RUU doesn't install either). I installed 4EXT touch, flashed recovery, had my ROM (Fallout) on SD ready. Rebooted phone into new recovery to find that is was still the OLD revolutionary recovery and not 4EXT. This was 4am so I thought I'd try the usual wiping + rom flash. It went through normally and said completed although the progress bar only got about 1/3rd before jumping straight to finished. Rebooted.. stuck at white HTC logo screen.
My issues are that I cannot install HTC Sync phone drivers without phone powering up to be recognised by the PC, AND I cannot turn USB debugging on for obvious reasons
My phone is veryvery important and I'm now scared I won't be able to get it working again. Please help me.
TLDR; stuck on White HTC logo screen, no Android installed, cannot see how I can install one, help!
If anyone could shine some light on what I need to do next, I'd be very grateful.
Thanks in advance.. and afterwards
How did you flash the recovery? In fastboot? And did you flash the boot.img (also in fastboot) of the Rom you flashed?
You should definitely have read more before flashing anything...

For the 4EXT recovery I 'flashed' it from inside the touch app thinking that was enough these days.. naively. Had just been fighting with GF at 4am and was fed up and about to go to bed and in Revolutionary recovery so I thought what the hay, I'll wipe etc in here and use this to try and flash the rom.
I did not flash the boot.img. I goofed. I understand that but now I'm just desperate for any route back to a functional device.
I never stopped installing ROMs and etc on my old Nexus One but that was a while ago and everything just seemed to work. Desire S is being a nightmare.
Decide what you want to do.
If you want to upgrade the phone to official ROM - relock your bootloader and run RUU.
If you want to use custom ROMs - flash the recovery from fastboot and don't forget to flash the kernel from fastboot too.
I won't get into any more details, searching for the right info with these pointers will get you whatever you might need.
Thank you, I'm all fixed. Simply found an old 2.3.5 ROM and flashed and booted fine. Reason I was so stuck was because I had formatted my PC since last installing phone drivers so I couldn't do much hurdur
was running viperXL 3.2.5 and wiped and went to cm10.1 now i used goo manager to download xhata (sorry i butchered it) now i can only boot into spash screen and bootloader. i used fastboot to reflash twrp and still only boots to the custom spash... hboot 1.09 s-off..... im kinda lost here. should have syuck with viper, why screw with perfection.
What is xhata? Is it a rom?
I'm not sure we can install roms with Goo Manager on this phone.
If you installed a rom for the quad-core Tegra One X, your phone will not boot and you're lucky you didn't get a brick. You need to do a full wipe and reflash.
first off not a noob. it was the evita rom. i still have bootloader access and can get half way into recovery( spash screen then twrp spash...) then reboot into custom splash. it was the rom... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2075783 so if anyone has any ideas please help, just dont start with the usual u screwed up flashing roms i know better. and the odd part is after reflashing the recovery via fastboot i get Twrp spash before going back to the phone main splash and boot looping.... and yes im s-off
No need to be so defensive. If we don't know exactly what you flashed, all we can do is ask. Its not meant as an insult. But its always better to ask the seemingly "obvious" questions first, get them out of the way.
If there is a "usual thing" that gets mentioned, its because the mistake of flashing ROMs for the ENDEAVORU in fact happens so often. Downloading from GooManager is not a great idea either, and often a red flag that someone installed a ROM for the wrong version of the phone.
Did the phone operate properly when you were on CM10.1?
What version of TWRP, and what fastboot command did you use to flash it?
I asked the "usual" questions because:
-You have less than 100 posts. That's often a sign of someone who is new to this.
-You used a rom name I've never heard of, and suggested you weren't sure of the name yourself. That's usually a big red flag for someone who flashed some random rom they found via Google.
-You mentioned using Goo Manager. That's a non-standard method for this phone, and an awful lot of people have bricked their phones trying to flash roms through apps that aren't well-supported. CWM Touch was notorious for this when the One X first came out.
If you don't want people to assume things, you need to state them up front.
On topic: There appears to be a bug in the latest TWRP that causes issues for some people. Try rolling back to an earlier version.

Yeah, I saw that too, and why I asked the OP what version of TWRP.
i had problems with that rom on version 4.0.1 and 4.1.0 had alot of errors and trouble. i haven't tried 4.2.0 though, i have been having better luck with rom after clearing out recovery cache running "fastboot erase cache" and running only twrp 2.3.3.1.
i flashed the second to last release of twrp (latest gave mount issues), viper was running great, cm 10.1 avatar was running fine just didnt like how plain it was so i used goo manager to download hatkaXL and when the download finished i picked select and flash.. then the usual warning about flashing and it rebooted, hit spash screen where it still is hours later. i then tried manually boot into recovery, it hit the bootloader i selected recovery and it seemed to try and load. next step was back to fast boot and to reflash twrp (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img ) flashed 100% success and still wont boot into recovery just the bootloader, and i wasnt trying to get all defensive, i sent first post using the wifes phone and posted quick, had a guy hooking up my satellite at same time as phone crashed. has anyone tried the new version of cwm for the evita? maybe flashing that may get me back, i have roms and backups on the pc that i can seem to side load but never boot as well.
well after repeated flashing of recovery and (fastboot erase cache) it finally booted to recovery, now to see if my backup will load.
- i have htc explorer full lock. Yesterday i had made root for this phone and succeed . After that i reset factory . So have problem when i reboot system screen is freeze in logo HTC . (
- I don't know how to fix it. I tried take out battery and up different rom by CMW . i up many many rom but all rom have same problem when system boot to screen logo phone is restart and boot to screen logo again .... i think this action never stop. Because i wait about 5 -10 minutes but it do not stop. When i take out batery it must stop (. i cant go to the main sceen of android.. i dont know why ?? ( please help me !!!

Next time, read first, understand, after that do sh.......... stuff.
And if it stucks with all roms, that means that you are just flashing them wrong, so again,
1- Read
2- Understand what you have just readed
3- Read it again, just in case
4- Do stuff.
thanh you very much

THanks u. Sr beacuse i'm a newbie. the next time i will do that !! ^^
i dont understand
so i do correct everything you say. but when i full wipe and reinstall stock rom. screen still stuck in logo HTC. what should i do ????
From where did you get stock rom, if it's your backup there is pretty big chance to not work properly? And how long are you waiting for rom to boot(now, not before), sometimes it needs at least 5-7 minutes, even more sometimes.
And are you sure you are wiping everything from everywhere(meaning do you wipe stuff from 'advanced' menu in recovery). Whit this comes next question, which recovery are you using, if you don't know just say, is it touchable recovery, or not. (no disrespect intendet, asking like this, because you sayed that you are a new user, so im trying to say things as simple as I can.)
But mostly if you wipe everything as it should be, there is pretty much no way that rom won't boot.
1. i get link for stock Rom from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2189199
2. i used file superwipe.zip to wipe.
3. i wait 15 minutes but still stuck logo

You have to do:
1. Make sure you have a custom recovery cwm/twrp.
2. Flash super wipe
3. Flash ROM
4. Reboot
Phone will definitely work otherwise you have either done something strange to your phone or its a hardware fault ie. You broke it

i don't do something else. i just root phone and then reset factory. My phone stuck in logo . and Then i tried to flash different rom . but It still not working. Ah i remember one time i tried flash a new kernel for rom nextgen. so This is the reason ????
whether install rom with the way: " flash 3 file system system.img, boot boot_signed.img, recovery recovery_signed.img." my phone is going to work normally?
Flash jaggyrom 4.1 man if will boot I bet !
Roms have kernel included ! So what you did doesn't matter its just like a fresh thing when you flash a new ROM!

And try without superwipe, try wiping stuff manually.
maybe i found the error of my phone. I formatted SD-card . I think HTC pico use a part of SD-card to store data of system. when i try flash rom JaggyRom" [3.2.1] from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1473218 and partition a part of SD-card is ex3. i can go to the main screen of android. but system have problem have report "full storage". just 1 mb empty. i did used A2SDGUI to move data but still error full storage
did you play around with clocked kernels?
i don't know. I think Kernel is included in rom
Hi guys,
nice to say hello to all of you.
I have been reading xda for a while and finally started playing with my old HTC Desire S. Kind of training in case I wanted to play with my actual device.
I wanted to unlock it thorugh htcdev, test some roms and back to stock version. Everything was fine but the last step.
At the beginning, I wanted to backup the system as it was, that's with the stock recovery. So I booted a custom recovery (not flashed) and made a nandroid backup with clockwork touch 5.8.1.5. Everything went fine.
After that, I started flashing custom recoveries and ROMs, just for fun. Some problem with that ROM, some with another, but I managed to run a couple or three.
Ok, end of the game. I want my copy back so I am restoring the nandroid.
I wipe everything, restore the nandroid through the same recovery, process finishes and says it's OK. Go back to fastboot and flash stock boot.img.
The result is I am stuck at htc logo.
I have tried flashing recovery.img also, fastboot deleting cache, relocking the bootloader...
I am pretty sure I am missing something with the booting process, but I have tried everything I know.
BTW, I have already tried RUU, but I am not capable of finding one with my CID, radio, etc.
I know it's an old device, but I would really love to solve it (because I am so f***ing pigheaded )
Thanks!!!

You can't flash roms from the recovery because you are not s off. If you have unlocked your bootloader then you have to flash using fastboot commands like the boot.img?

Thank you @lilsafbig. In fact, I tried both, fastboot and recovery, and nothing worked.
Finally, I managed to create a Goldcard and install a new ICS version for my device. Was the only way I could recover a "stock" ROM, although it wasn't Orange one...
