I have rooted my ds with revolutionary and downgraded my hboot.
My Hboot seems to be 6.98.1002.
It might have came with the endymion rom, which did not work. (But still the phone worked.)
I forgot to say that I installed cwm recovery, but after I installed the RUU it did not work.

You're still using the HBOOT installed by AlphaRev. I may be wrong here, but there is a chance that the stock HTC ROM is incompatible with the HBOOT you currently have on your device. What RUU did you install?
You may need to go back to an original 0.98 HBOOT or install an engineering HBOOT for the stock ROM to work properly.

You're right, RUU is not compatible with 6.98.1002.
Load to bootloader, then connect your phone with USB and push any rom with ADB, then install it from recovery.

I cannot do that, my recovery is HTC stock as the cwm recovery got off when I installed the RUU

Have you tried booting into fastboot (Power + vol down) and flashing CWM or something using fastboot flash recovery recovery.img?
Then you should be able to use this tutorial to get back to stock.
That's what I did anyway. Hope it works for you.

[Q] Failed Cyanogen Installation -> Half-Bricked Desire S

Hello, members )
My story:

Now phone stucks at HTC logo. Access to bootmenu, recovery is available.

Have you made a backup of your previous ROM? If not try one of the custom sense roms or run the ruu without attached device, don't close the first window and search for the rom.zip, copy it to another folder and delete everything in the zip file except the system.img, rename it to pg88img.zip and flash it in bootloader or flash the image itself with fastboot.
As much as I know is your problem that with htcdev the kernel isn't unlocked and cause cyanogen needs another then sense, it doesn't work.

You can also try flashing the full package with all content from the rom.zip, but this sets also your unlocked state of the bootloader back and be sure that you use the latest version of the ruu.

You need to manually flash the boot.img from CM 7.1 when you have the unlocked bootloader.

I am ready to get back Sense because now nothing works (
Mr tpbklake , you do the magic!!
Everything works thanx!!
So,
1. CM rom was flashed in 4EXT
2. /boot was formatted
3. fastboot flash boot boot.img was performed (boot.img from the same rom)

Bootloader still locked.

Hi guys,
I have a problem i followed the guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
to S-Off my new HTC Sensation XE from O2 which was succseful and as per the guide i chose N to the option to install Clockwork recovery.
When i then followed the steps to install recovery after it just will not work have tried many different methods including ADB but it just fails to install
after some digging i have discovered that unusually when i loot the bootloader screen it does say that the device is S-off however the pink bar at the top that normally says unlocked is saying locked which is why i am guessing any installs keep failing.
Anyone know how to fix this please, thanks in advance.
You've not fully S-OFF'd it yet...run Revolutionary it again until it asks you to flash CWM. Say yes to it and then you're good to go
Thanks for the reply, i tried that but it now says my device is not supported in revolution

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?

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 ?

[Q] HTC Desire S Bricked? Help.

I have a Desire S which I was trying to return to stock. To do this I flashed the HBoot and then ran the following RUU:
Code:
RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.11_M_release_177977_signed
This was successful. In the stock HTC ROM I downloaded all the updates all the way to the latest 2.3.5 with updated Sense.
It now no longer boots. Upon booting it gets stuck at the HTC logo (white background).
Recovery (CWM) is now gone. But I can boot into the bootloader. It is now S-ON.

If you can get into HBoot, enter that and run the RUU again. Chances are the ROM partition got corrupted and a simple reflash will fix it.
After initial boot, reflash CWM since the RUU returns everything to stock.

Try to avoid running the latest RUU for the time being until you have tried other methods, once you run the latest RUU it will update your hboot version to 1.14 and it will cause a lot of problems for you when you want to upgrade your radio rom. Make sure youo have flashed the boot.img after you flash the rom otherwise it will cause your phone to hang on the load screen.
Here is a link to the appropraite RUU files http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543588. However i recommend you try a fresh install of Energy Rom with a full wipe (cache/dalvik/system/factory reset) and flash boot.img after to see if it fixes your problem because if you run RUU and update hboot there is no going back.
