I have Desire S which I succesfully rooted using Revolutionary.io method, one month ago.
Rom is 1.47.401.4
After rooted I had Revolutionary hboot 6.98.1002
Last weeks, I have read too many threads for searching how to revert back on stock hboot.
Why ? Because I want to install new Android 2.3.5 Sense 3.0.
Today I succesfully revert back on stock hboot 98.0002 and all data, programs, contact REMAINS in my Desire S.
How ?
I used method explain in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17481836&postcount=2
After that I have eng boot and S-OFF and version is 6.98.2000
Restarted phone in fastboot loader.
Using Android flasher I flash only hboot 98.0002
Very quickly, everything went fine and I had OK info.
Shutted down phone.
Normaly powered on phone.
All aplications remains etc.
Restarted phone in hboot and version changed tio stock 98.0002.
Thank you to all people which explains the parts on revert back to stock hboot.
Thanks for guide but have requested that its moved to General section, as not a development thread.
Ok, agree.
i think i have bricked my device. was trying to put latest ICS. Then it was booting in a loop. So i tried restoring it to a backup of one of my old roms. Now it just stays on the HTC green logo and white screen
can get into bootloader
says ***locked***
pvt ship s-off
hboot 1.23
radio 10.14.9035.02_2
emmc_boot
can get into recovery but how do i get it working again helpppp
Flash the 3.24 firmware, there's a thread located in the Development section. This has been asked dozens of times. For Gingerbread, you want 3.12 or stock. For ICS, 3.12 works but you want 3.24 - just flash 3.24.
its ok did another recover backup and managed to get it all working again. Thankgod!!

how can I tell which one I already have?
I'm trying to go from stock to ICS....and I'm flashign through CWM but keep getting stuck at the white bootscreen
OK, i wrote s-on wrong while on hboot 1.23 and it locked so i used htc dev and now i can use GB roms with ease but i really want to go back to ics. My hboot is 1.23 so i should be able to use 3.12 firmware roms??? I flashed the boot.img file of each of the ics roms i tried and they all go stuck on bootloop and know i don't know why, all of the roms i tried are on firmware 3.12, darkforest, oceicsv111,virtuous inquisition 2.0.0 and arhd 6.0.3. Does anybody know a solution?
are you supercided? have you flashed the right fw?

I am stuck in the same situation as you, S-on, hboot 1.23, firmware 3.12, unlocked with htc dev and supercided. I'd tried some ICS roms without luck. Tried, too, a bunch of methods to revert back to an hboot that could be used with Revolutionary, but nothing worked.
So I'm using a gingerbread rom (Elegancia) while I wait for another method to try, or for Revolutionary to be updated to hboot 1.23.
Lately I have some problems with installing the latest firmwares for the Sensation. Both 3.24 as 3.30 firmwares cause a bootloop, but the 3.12 firmware is just working fine.
My flashing procedure:
1. Super wipe
2. Install Firmware
3. Super wipe
4. Install ROM
5. Wipe dalvik + cache
6. Fix Permissions
This all causes a bootloop. Also tried to install the ROM first and then the firmware. (without super wipe in between of course)
Things I've tried
- My cid was HTC__E11 and changed it to 11111111 (and back again now)
- Tried booting without sd-card and without sim-card
- Making a PG58IMG.zip with an old HBOOT
-Tried both Mike1986.'s firmware as the noob friendly from Kohr-Ah
More people having these probs and do any of you have new ideas?
The only thing that can in my mind, was to stick with the 3.12 roms untill the official release comes form HTC. Unroot etc to get the official update and check if my phone will work. If not, send it to HTC Repair centre.
Which ROM are you trying to install? You try updating firmware to latest 3.30 and install latest Insertcoin, works for me.

all you have to do is:
download the 3.30 fw
put the PG58IMG in your sd card root folder
go into hboot screen and flash it (you have to be superCID) reboot+vol down
now delete PG58IMG from your sd card and reboot in recovery
wipe all and flash your rom
enjoy
If you had bootloop eariler with V3.24 firmware , you will still have bootloop with V3.30 firmware as the HBOOT is same in both v3.30 and V3.24 .
Stick to V3.12 till HTC release a newer HBOOT in near future . Till now there is no logical reason why it is happening with a very few users.
I've had the same problem all day with this. I flashed the recommended 3.3.0 f/w this morning and couldn't for the life of my work out why i was getting bootloops.
Luckily I came across this by chance, saved hours of tearing my hair out thanks

I've tried, ARHD, InsertCoin, HyperNonSense, Open Sensation CM9, Virtuos Inquisition. It's not the Rom that's causing the bootloop. It's the firmware that's causing it.. Most roms do work with he 3.12 firmware.
Think I'll stick to musarraf172 his advice and stay on 3.12 till a new hboot comes out. Or maybe if someone else finds a solution for this.
FINALLY a post that I can reply on (forum rules I'm new @ develpers section)
I have the same problem as you I get bootloop with 3.24 and 3.30
3.12 runs fine, my question is, can I install mike's new ROM 6.3.0 XE
with the 3.12 or will I screw up my phone (I really don't know much about this sorry if it's a stupid question )
P.S: the 3.12 fw bootloader says LOCKED on it, doesn't let me to flash radio, so I'm currently stuck with a piece of metal, any help?
thanks

no you can't...you need at least 3.24 fw
where can I get some other firmware (unlocked one) which will work with mike's rom Android Revolution 3.6.13 (and the radio on his post)
on his post it sayd "thanks to HTC for base firmware" where can I get that?
Thanks

You might be wrong here.
@ guy asking question. Just install the rom with 3.12 fw, as mussy said, there are a few people that get bootloops with latest fw but run ok on 3.12. Also, you can always take 3.30 fw, remove hboot.img from it, and just update radio and other partitions but leave hboot intact. That might work.

You can run ARHD 6.3.0 with V3.12 firmware. Some users already confirmed this.
Locked HBOOT does not allow to flash radio, splash via fastboot. But You can easily flash radio, splash etc by PG58IMG.zip method.
bootloop fix?
Hey again,
just figured out why I got the bootloops with the 3.30 and 3.24
The reason is very simple : I tried to flash them without flashing to the new ROM
The old ROM I had just happened to work with the 3.12 but with the 3.24/3.30 it went to the bootloops.
Here's the guide that helped me with this issue (now I have the 3.30 and the 6.3.0XE ARHD ROM) :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1472298
Thanks to erraggy for giving me this link to the great guide
P.S : If you have some cooked UOT file you made with SystemUI.apk & framework-res.apk , DO NOT flash them after flashing the ROM , your phone will be stuck @ the first boot for hours. I know it sounds stupid, but hey, I'm new at this and if it helps others do be it
btw, great ROM

I tried doing this and still cant upgrade to 3.24 or 3.30 fw. I did super wipe, flashed fw 3.30 and then flashed ROM but still get boot loops. I think some phones cant upgrade?
I have T-mobile US and i did try the user friendly fw 3.30 also.

Did V3.24 work on your phone ? If not , then V3.30 will also not work. You can flash v3.12 and install ARHD 6.3.0 . They will work together. If you still want to flash V3.30 , then replace the HBOOT 1.27.1100 in V3.30 with the HBOOT in V3.12.

Fw 3.24 didn't work for me either. I am currently using the 3.30 file with the hboot from 3.12 on Elegancia Rom. Its just strange that there are a few phones that can't boot with the 1.27 bootloader.

I have just installed the official update from the xda topic here.
Currently Im on Hboot 1.27 and the stock rom is booting up without any problems!
No more bootloopts with Hboot 1.27 !
I'm gonna root my phone again and put back my image on OpenSensation/ CM9.
Hopefully it's finally solved ! I'll keep you guys updated

Thats great. The official untouched HBOOT 1.27 solved the issue.
Just curious . Does it show "locked" in bootloader screen ??
If so that menas the fastboot extended commands are disabled.
Just check it.
Ok, I'm done now. After installing the stock rom I just installed superuser and recovery again. Afterwards I restored my Nandroid backup and it's up and running.
Bootloader shows me:
***** Unlocked *****
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
Hboot- 1.27.0000
Radio-11.22.3504.07_M
Another problem solved !

sounds good.
Can you test the following command to flash a new splash .
fastboot flash splash1 splash1.img
You can download some beautiful splash from here. Open the flashable zip and find the splash1.img inside the etc folder.
Hello guys,
My RUU is RUU_Saga_S_HTC_ARA_2.14.415.3_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.0
I followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1443636 and it worked perfectly ... except nothing got downgraded, the RUU file is not 0.98.0000, instead its still 2.00.0002
thus I can't use Revolutionary to S-OFF.
All I want to do is flash Fallout Evolution V4.4.0 but I'm still stuck at S-OFFing the phone.
What should I do ? Should I download another RUU for example RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.11_, flash that and then S-OFF and then flash the original RUU_Saga_S_HTC_ARA_2.14.415.3_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.0 again ?
Will that return the S-ON ?
Is there any other method? I'm completely lost now. Please any advice will be great.

what exactly you have done?
you should follow step 1 to 6 first.
than flash the RUU brand and region specific.
than you go to revolutionary.to and follow the steps.
what region and brand of phone you using?
Flash the lowest version RUU for your region
Tapatalked from a Desire S waiting for Kernel 3 sources. WAKE UP HTC!!!!!!
@skumara
yes, I did that exactly. But when my HBOOT version is still 2.00.0002, it wasn't downgraded, so I concluded that the RUU file I downloaded comes with the HBOOT version 2.00.0002 not less.
@suku_patel_22
I searched in the http://www.filefactory.com/f/c64d333a2755a421/
then I searched on google for RUU_Saga_S_HTC_ARA with lower version but didn't find any.
It seems that there is only one version of RUU_Saga_S_HTC_ARA
Any ideas?
Do factory reset and try again.

hey guys,
I just stumbled upon http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Saga
RUU_Saga_HTC_ARA_1.47.415.1_Radio_20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199890_signed.exe is the same region as my phone but comes with different radio, 20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M compared to 20.4801.30.082 2U_3822.10.08.0
should I try to flash that ?
if the answer is yes, should I flash the OTA update OTA_Saga_S_HTC_ARA_2.14.415.3-1.47.415.1_release_226054u4qq2l6b7pxcvnwr.zip
after that or not ?
i guess u need to test each of your step and see if it work.
first try with only RUU_Saga_HTC_ARA_1.47.415.1_Radio_20.28I.30.085AU_ 3805.06.02.03_M_release_199890_signed.exe
than if it didn't work try again with the ota update.
The OTA will flash hboot 2.00, so what is the point. Repeat the steps you already did according to the guide you mention in the first post but with the older RUU this time. Then use Revolutionary, flash newer recovery and Fallout. Done
