Reading is fundamental!!I will assume you used attn1's hack kit to root. If you did, I suggest you got back to the OP and read the entire thing. Once done, if you didn't find your remedy, do it again. and then again. If at this point you didn't find what to do, there is no hope.
um do u mean read the advanced hack kit manual i skimmed thogh it it dosent say any thing about this problem can u be more specific

If you would go back to the op of the hack kit thread you will see it says to hit up the IRC for help....
Why is it nobody reads that. O well, go to the IRC And get the help you need.
I got your 10 char right here

What possesed you to unplug it while it was flashing critical parts of your phone. Not a good move. You may have bricked it. Especially if it was only half way through the part where it flashes clockwork and sets s-off. If you had fully read and comprehended the manual, instead of skimming it, you would know what you were doing. You really have to read the material available to you on these threads because this is technical stuff your doing and should not be taken lightly. Do you have insurance? I'm sure warranty is out of the question.
I really am tired of people screwing up their phones because they are too lazy to read the original post. This tool comes with a manual that attn1 emphasizes heavily to read as it contains all the information you need BEFORE running his tool. How easier can it be. I'm sorry but if you didn't do your research and ended up screwing it up, all I can say is, lesson learned. (hopefully)

I'll sum up what you probably just skipped over, which tells me you didn't read thoroughly enough to be rooting your phone. The bottom section of the OP is pretty much summed up as, if you need help, here's the IRC chatroom, go there but don't ask stupid question that READING would solve. What you did sounds like something stupid (sorry, I'm not calling you stupid..just the action of unplugging your phone while rooting is stupid..beyond me why you did this but whatever not the point) The guys in the IRC are very good at what they do...and have probably seen it all so they can help. Again, I'm not trying to attack you, it's just information that could have been found by READING. Good luck.
INTRO:
Welcome To My Guide To Get Back To Stock This Is Only for Desire S Phones That Have Benn Used With AlpharevX. If You Use This On Other Phones You May End Up With Bricked Phone.
HOW IT WORKS:
This is a .bat file i made myself. This will change your misc_version and flash the needed hboots automatically. All you need to do is run my file then when your phone reboots back into bootloader just put it into fastboot and run the needed RUU.
HOW TO:
Plug in your phone. Enable usb debugging and click the file to start the process. ( DO NOT RUN AS ADMIN IF U DO IT WONT WORK ). after it is done your phone will now go into bootloader this is normal just run the RUU and it will get you back to stock HTC Rom
WARNING:
I will NOT be held responsible for your device if u break it using my software.
However if you PM me asking nicely for help i will help you. Please refrain from sending me abusive PM's if you do i will report you. not nasty i just follow rules .
REMEMBER:
Please if you have any problems just PM me or add me on gmail [email protected] im always on here 24/7 should you ever need me
While the guide is appreciated, I don't believe there is enough information about which hboot version, ROM versions, which region, S-ON/S-OFF status (unlock method) that you should be on in order to use it. Even if this guide applies to all versions, then its important that you say that so as to ensure people feel as ease when using it.
You must also be careful not to duplicate existing guides, as we now have multiple guides achieving the same thing, which just leads to further confusion and more questions.
Also, on a personal note any chance of not doing the next one in all capitals

okay thanx for the feedback ill update the guide. this is the best and noob friendly guide on here. easy and useful.
I also started to reply a post on what i'm missing, than i saw he is changing much actually, editing his post every few minutes, so i think we'll see more information later, after he has finished his starting post!
@paul.robo
I find it nice that you're starting writing guides although you aren't registered here that long time!
I was reading some guides on that topic before, in nearly everyone there were some things not that clear for me! Hope you'll make it the better way!
So keep on working! Will try that guide after you've finished!
Edit after you've finished now:
So i suggest you to:
Start your threadtitle with [GUIDE], people will easier find that thread
Do optimze the style of your guides, some bold lines, more colors, ... so that people can orientate easier
What the files you are offering are doing exactly? I'm little bit carefully if someone is calling me to use java
Some information about what i'm on after that procedure would be nice!
6 IT WILL NOW SAY YOUR BACK TO S-ON. DONT PANIC.

Will i be S-ON now or not?! I only read that i haven't to panic
List the status i'm on after following this guide
hboot
root
and so on
A full list of needed files at the beginning of the guide would be usefull, for people like me having slow internet connection, it could be annoying to download a needed file which is taking over 1 hour while following your guide
Keep on mate!

this guides done mate. i edited the guide because many spelling mistakes and i upoaded the wrong files by accident then i took them off before any1 downloaded them and put the right files back up. i will be making the guide easyer and im working on a 1click method that does it all in 1 click then runs the ruu at the end. it will determin the ruu from your region. and will download the right ruu for your device. this will be coming out soon i just need to make sure the guides good before i let all test the 1 click method.

error in part 1
Hi , just registered to ask this,
so i've been wondering around the forum for about a week now, my only aim is to have arabic support on my HTC Desire S.
i unlocked it with htcdev. my Hboot is 2.00.0002 with baseband 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_m
so i'm a big noob... as the video say when i register
so when i try to follow the guide it and got to changing the version point, i get this error ..
--set_version set. VERSION will be changed to: 1.27.405.6
Patching and backing up misc partition...
Error opening input file.
the same exact thing happened when i tried downgrading my Hboot

in the part 1 guide don't use it just use these commands and it will work.
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell /data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 1.27.405.6
when it finishes u need to lock your bootloader to proceed.
fastboot oem lock
after just run the ruu you neeeed and it will get your phone back to stock just remember to flash the eng-hboot or you have a greater chance of a brick
Hello everyone,
I'm am pretty sure there are many guides in rooting your htc phone as well as flashing a custom ROM. I am also pretty sure that there are guides out there that uses BIG words with not enough Lament words, so here is a simple noob friendly guide to basically make your life easier.
1. Download and install HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe from http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/revolutionary
2. Download revolutionary-0.4pre4.zip for windows from http://revolutionary.io
3. Extract it and run revolutionary.exe
4. Connect HTC Sensation to PC and select HTC Sync.
5. revolutionary.exe should detect your HTC Sensation phone and provide your with details about hboot and serial number.
6. select the hboot version and type the serial number into the box and hit enter.
7. It will now try to root phone. Wait and the phone will restart a few times.
8. When it's done, it'll ask to install clockworkmod recovery (cwm). Choose Y for yes or N to refuse. Install recovery based on what the ROM suggests. For ARHD, it suggested EXT4 touch recovery, so press N.
9. Press volume button up or down to navigate and select reboot phone by pressing power button.
10. Download EXT4 touch recovery at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377759 (thanks to Madmaxx82)
11. Read the Read Me to learn how to install EXT4 Touch recovery.
12. Download firmware 3.32 for the related CID and MID. Be sure to check your phone's CID and MID
13. Download Super Wipe at http://xda.androidrevolution.nl/db_...ndroid_Revolution_HD_Super_Wipe_Sensation.zip
14. Download the ROM found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849 (credit to Mike1986)
15. Copy the file PG58IMG.zip to the root of microSD. (root - meaning not in a folder)
16. Copy the super wipe and 6.6.3 ROM zip files to the root of microSD.
17. Power off your phone/ Remove battery from phone
18. Hold volume-down and power button simultaneously to get into bootloader mode.
19. When in Bootloader, it will automatically ask you to update your firmware, press 'yes.'
20. Once the update is complete, immediately take out your battery. (it may sound scary, but it's actually quite safe)
21. Take your MicroSD out and connect it to your pc to remove the PG58IMG.zip and insert it back once completed.
22. Get into boot loader once again (volume down + power button)
23. Now your bootloader screen should read:
-revolutionary-
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.27.1100
RADIO-11.22.3504.07M
24. Select 'recovery' and it will automatically lead you into 4EXT recovery (the one you installed earlier)
25. Install 'superwipe' script.
26. Select 'install from sd card' and look for the Custom ROM you have copied into the root of your Sd card.
27. During the installation you will be asked the following questions:
-Do you have a TMOUS sensation 4g?.
-Do you want to flash the sony bravia engine support?.
-Do you want to flash Stock or Custom Kernel?
-If you picked custom then you will be given a choice between Faux or Sebastian Kernel
-Do you want to flash HQ camera?
Once again this is all your choice, please read up on what each of them does.
28. When the ROM is fully flashed select back
29. Select reboot from 4ext recovery
30. Done, enjoy ICS with Beats Audio, the first boot should take around 5-10 mins
HAVE FUN ROOTING AND FLASHING CUSTOM ROM NOOBS :-D
Just remember, do this at your own risk, I will not take any responsibility for you Bricking your phone***
Good job!

Some feedback to your thread
Hi, i wanted to give some feedback about this.
Regarding the content of your post, you might want to correct some things you've wrote that make the guide not so simply but confusing and inaccurate... sheer constructive criticism.
"Download firmware 3.30 for the related CID and MID.". If you are pretending to guide someone on how to flash any "newly" released ICS ROM you need to download and flash 3.32 firmware, not 3.30.
"This phone MID is modelid: PG5813000 and CID is cidnum: HTC__044. So if new kernel appear in the future, be sure to download from this category only.". You meant your specific phone, right?. Every guy out there has a different phone and more likely a different CID. There is a CID thread just in case you want to check out some of the available CIDs. Also, (and even more confusing) CID and model aren't related in any ways to kernel or firmware, what do you mean with "a new kernel appear in the future"? we have new kernels almost every 2 days from faux, sebastian, show-p and other developers, and what category are you talking about specifically?
In the third point you wrote It will now trying to root phone. Wait and the phone will restart a few times. Revolutionay tool is intended to S-OFF the device, not rooting. Then your guide isn't about how to root the phone as the thread title says ... i think this is the guide noobs are actually looking for.
If you are quoting or using content from others posts the correct thing to do is to give proper credit to the author i.e: Mike1986., authors of revolutionary tool, madmaxx among others.
I'm speaking for myself here and i want to ask you kindly to credit my work in the things you've pretty much copied literally from my thread [GUIDE][APR.16.12] How to flash ICS 3.32 firmware | flash/update ARHD 6.6.x ICS ROM, first post, steps 4 and 5.
I'm reffering to steps 18 to 37 in your guide which are 99% the exact same words i've wrote in my guide. I've spent some time and effort writing that guide, While i don't see why you wanna re-write my guide If you want to use my work it's ok, i don't mind, but please at least give proper credit and don't go around saying is your guide and your work when 50% of it's copy-pasted from my thread.
Also i've taken down the download link of 4EXT recovery touch flashing tool (steps 11 and 12 in your post) which i've modded and packed myself and it's also posted in my guide, if you want the dropbox download link i can give it to you, but again, proper credit.
You've open a thread in Android development section, and this is clearly not a development thread. Pleas ask a mod to move your thread to the correct section. Nevermind, thread has been moved already. Thanks to the mods.
Thanks
Couldn't agree more, it's not that we don't appreciate the effort but there are enough guides on this forum and all the info is there for grabs, you just have to find it. There's no need to create new guides because people don't use the search button.
Hello everyone.. Not that i wanted to copy any of your work and take credit for it, as i have never seen your guide.. I am sorry if i have offended you in any way.. I practically just wrote down what my friend told me over the phone, as he was explaining to me the proper way to root as well as put in a custom ROM on my sensation. I did not in any way meant or did not know that i was copying anybody's work. As far as i know, i only wrote this guide to help beginners, as i was once one. The only guide i have read was mike's guide on the front page of the ARHD thread, which at first i did not really understand. Another thing, it's not that i didnt want to give mike credit and take all the credit for my own, as you can see i am using's Mike's ARHD banner as well as i have given links to his thread. As for your guide, i will rephrase everything if it makes you feel better cheers mate~ The most important thing for me is to expand the sensation community.

Brother, if there is enough guides on this forum, why do new beginners always ask the same questions? ..well let me tell you my experience, understand certain guides is a bit difficult as they contain words not familiar to beginners. Once again, i made this guide so i wouldnt have to refer to anyone else's guide if someone else needed my assistance/help. cheers mate~
Would like to once again apologize for my premature posting of this thread. I should have asked my friend what his sources were. Thanks again all for the heads up

Well there is no absolute need, but then again he is free to do as he pleases.
If he (or ANYONE for that matter) is simply trying to help the noobs that come on here every day asking, "How i root plzzz help thx", then I am all for it.
But I don't think anyone should be denied the right to create these sorts of guides. Plus, the poorer written ones eventually die anyway, its the way a forum works.

Sometimes it's just sheer laziness. Other times they may not understand other guides or just need reassurance.
Either way, I appreciate you taking the time to create this.
Like i said, offcourse we appreciate the effort! What i'm trying to say is that people need to use the search function more. There are enough guides, If you don't understand something in the guide than ask it in the thread, no need to make a new thread about it.
Also, my experience is that If you use the search function enough, you will learn a lot about your phone and the ways to modify it. With that knowledge you can help other people. It's a vicious circle ;-)

OK guys, I have never rooted a phone but decided today to give it a try, why.. first cause I dont wish to wait till June for ICS and second becuase I saw this simple looking step-by step guide......so I thought simple.
First off I am PC savy but NOT at all cell phone hacking savy. All of this jargun you all use CID, MID, RUU, 4EXT means nothing to me and I have gotten lost.
I started with the instruction on this thread but then got the bright idea of seeing if there were some youtube step-by-steps how to's and there were. But the two videos I watched must have been older cause they had one major step differnt.
They say to type Y to Install recovery mod after S OFF, and I did. so now the next steps in the video dont work and I have veired off track what you all say to do.... I'm scared and lost.
I'm a realtor and my phone is my money maker, I can't brick it.

Bro, i understand what you're saying.. haha trust me.. My only advice to you is.. If i were you and my phone was of great importance. Don't root your device.. Even if the process is quite easy and most of the time people don't brick their devices, there is still a small percentage.. The best thing you could do is update to ICS via official HTC release, which if i am not mistaken, has already been done in many countries. Cheers mate.

Ok pal paste us a link to the video you followed. Now, does your phone still start up properly? If so then this should be easy. Power off the device fully. Remove the battery for around 20 seconds or so then reinsert. While holding down volume down also hold power until the device boots to bootloader. (Bootloader is equal to BIOS for a PC). It will give you some information. Post that Info up here. If it says s-off then using the volume buttons scroll down to recovery and push power. If you see a red triangle and/or exclamation mark then you have a stock recovery. If it says clockwork mod recovery then you are s-off with a custom recovery and all seemingly has went well
Also Cid stands for carrier identification and is used for carrier information and software I think. Mid is used to reference the country/ area you are in, for software as well as networks. They are both used together. Ruu stands for rom utility update and is a HTC program for updating HTC phone software and ext4 is a custom recovery that uses an exit4 partition on the sdcard I believe

oppps. XD guess i didnt answer your questions properly..sorry i misread.. The first thing we need to know is whether or not your phone can start up and does not just blank out when you turn it on.
Hey guys, thank you for the quick replies. Yes thank goodness it does power up.
ok here is the youtube video i followed, opps.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvg0i8in96M
All I got was to turn the phone to s-off but not rooted.
So yes the phone functions, but not my voicemails. It now say
"This phone was associated with a different account. Do you want to delete the exsisting voicemails?"
So I would like to proceed with the upgrade to ICS, unless becuase I am SUCH a noob you all think I should just some how revert back to S-on and leave my phone alone?
I just read here all the time, you should root, its SOOO easy... and it not if you are a noob..
Thank you all for your time, and I love this site.

"This phone was associated with a different account. Do you want to delete the exsisting voicemails?"
So I would like to proceed with the upgrade to ICS, unless becuase I am SUCH a noob you all think I should just some how revert back to S-on and leave my phone alone?
I just read here all the time, you should root, its SOOO easy... and it not if you are a noob..
Thank you all for your time, and I love this site.

i cant see it being an issue bud firstly, i am yet to own this device (but soon! roll on payday ^^) so i can only take you as far as rooting and custom recoverys, but for ics updates youd best ask others go to this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 and follow steps 2 through to 4 and then you will have a custom recovery, full root and supercid ^^ after that if you want to try an ice cream sandwich rom look
at the dev thread here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1112&order=desc&page=2 always double check that you understand what your about to do before you do it, and all threads *should* have full instructions on how to flash them. remember that installing a custom rom will WIPE ALL YOUR DATA so remember to do a nandroid back up from your recovery good luck pal and enjoy
OK guys, well I did not chicken out. I followed the video once again, but this time used my original stock SD card and everything worked. I am rooted! so now to the next steps...
wish me luck.

Well I decided to jump the hoop and go for rooting my mt4g slide. Was doing great and unlocked it using the lovely All-In-One tool kit and couldn't get the phone to show S-off. I figured I needed to get this done before installing a rom's as I tried 2 different ones and neither would work. Tried a few different things and still wouldn't work to get S-off. Long story short, now I'm in a boot loop where the phone automatically goes into the boot loader. It will start up and show the mytouch splash screen before going into the loader. It will scan the sdcard for files and say there isn't a image etc and go back to the main boot loader screen. I can't do anything beyond that. I hit recovery, factory reset, and nothing. Tried putting roms and see if it would out of the blue read one.
It's my fault for taking the risk but adding a bit of insult to my injury is my back up phone, G1, won't even turn on now. So now I'm kind of phone less. Any suggestions on how to restore hboot?
1st of all WRONG FORUM!!!!!! This is for Development, not questions. That's what general is for. Second, there's a couple threads in General about this. Just hit search.
Magical Mods, may we please have this moved. Thanks.

take out your sdcard and use an adapter to put a stock PG59IMG.zip on your sdcard (make sure its named PG59IMG.zip) and go back into the bootloader. It will confirm if you want to install the zip and in 10 mins you'll be back on stock. Oh and ^ plus one please next time post in general as this has nothing to do with developing.
wow ya'll so testy today. I found the roms and info here in development forgive me for asking the question when something goes wrong on the programing side. One would think developers/programers would be helpful when the thread isn't how great the device is or what the bench marks are. Take a chill pill people.

To supplement what Agent said the appropriate section for this would be the General section.
Additionally the development area is where devs post new roms, tools and hacks. Users can add observations to these threads to further development.

"tried a few different things" to get S-Off?
There are two ways of getting S-off. One is done with Revolution if your HBOOT is earlier than 1.45. The other is juopunutbear if your HBOOT is 1.45. Did you check your HBOOT version before "trying a few things"?
Did you read the instructions for the all-in-one toolkit? Or possibly just follow the steps in order in the program? It's specifically designed so you don't need s-off.
I'm assuming you must have flashed CWM recovery since you said you did a factory reset. Did you do Juopunutbear or revolution, or are you planning on leaving S-ON? If S-ON, Did you flash a kernel(boot.img) using the toolkit? If you can get into HBOOT and get into recovery, there's no reason you should need to revert to stock. However, if your plan is to continue doing steps before reading the instructions, you should probably revert to stock anyway before you really do brick your device.
This link will provide you everything you need to get your device running. Just follow the spteps from the beginning. If your bootloader is already unlocked from HTCDev, then start at the step directly after unlocking the bootloader.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1532809
The toolkit worked well for me (even though it was my first attempt at anything), so I guess I'd echo that. It also matched with the step-by-step guides on stuff I found elsewhere in the forum. BUT there is a real difference in the method and order of things for the two hboots, hence KarriOn's questions.
However, having rooted and S-Offed, I then got a bit cocky and managed to end up in a not dissimilar position to you! Total panic, but I managed to get out by thinking through what I'd done, researching, and the cause and hence solution became clear. Took a night sleeping on it, and 2 hours.
what HBOOT?
Did you unlock the boot loader?
Did you get recovery on
Did you do a backup before going any further?

I followed the all in one tool for everything. I've finally been able to get into cwm recovery. For awhile it wouldn't and I gave up for the night. Came back yesterday morning to tinker with it more and it worked. I've tried flashing the superSu.zip file in cwm and after it reboots it still reads s-on. But either way I can't get the phone to do anything other than boot into the bootloader screen. I'm going to check out the link about 2 posts up and tinker with it after work. Thanks for the replies!

Oh yeah, that is the tread I used and the tool. After getting unlocked from HTC I tried flashing a rom and it wouldn't work. Figured I needed to get s-off for roms also. That is where my error started.

You don't need S-Off for ROMs to work. It sounds like you didn't flash a kernel after installing a ROM. The instructions on doing this are listed in the all-in one tool thread, the "flash ics roms with s-on" thread, and even on the all-in one tool interface itself.

Flashing SuperUser won't get you to S-Off. Hasoon2000 has two different toolkits. One that will guide you through the rooting process and the other on how to gain S-Off using the Juopunutbear method. Having S-Off isn't necessary to root but it will take a few extra steps to flash a different ROM with S-ON. I was too much of a chicken to try the S-Off method since there is some risk involved but several have reported that it worked successfully for them.
I tried an S-off as per the procedure everything went well
Supercid 11111111
and Finally A bootloader with S-Off
but when The device booted,it showed the home screen with the unlock screen and as soon as the screen unlocks its gives and error "Process system failed" (somethng almost similar) and gave an option to wait or close the program, choosing either of the two would result in a continuous bootloop
Attempts Made So far
-reflashed the kernals,ROMs, with Factory reset, Wipes Via fastboot commands
-Did A factory reset from Bootloader to clear all the Corrupt files
-Re-locked the bootloader to Install a fresh RUU
Attempted the S-Off from Win8 PC, but later RUUs were also tried Via Win7
Thannks to beaups and jcase so far for all the Help, Appreciated:good:
All the above steps couldnt bring back the cell to normal.Therefore,would Appreciate any help
#Latest attempt was Installing a Recovery via fastboot, it showed 'failed" Error
Thank You
Don't factory reset from bootloader, that corrupts the SD card. Have you tried flashing stock recovery? If your SD card is corrupted, that's the only way to fix it. Also, keep in mind next time that you should post questions in Q&A, people tend to get a little upset when they show up here.
C'mon man, wrong section.... Use Q&A.... :facepalm:

You obtained S-Off but corrupted phone's internal card b/c perhaps you did not wait enough time when did the last step (adb shell su -c "/data/local/tmp/soffbin3" before reboot) when did S-Off.
1. Now, Re-lock your bootloader and then reboot into RUU flash mode: fastboot oem rebootRUU
2. Flash either HTC RUU or OTA Update from here
3. Reboot - you will have stock ROM
4. Now unlock bootloader, flash custom recovery, root, do backup, (you still have Super CID) and then do S-Off (if you really need)
P.S. Q should be in General Thread

WOW look at this right in developing (shakes head) always try q&a first if a few days go by and no response then maybe try in the rom but don't start a question here.
P. S. Next time you loop your phone Google it first then read till your blue in the face if no luck that way then come here, please.

Em why not? So what its in the wrong section its a bit late to ***** about it so why not help and just let him know he did wrong like trathiang did and he only has 17 posts so shame on you.
I've factory reset from bootloader and stepped on other land mines as well. Don't worry, as long as you don't mess up your bootloader I think it is pretty hard to brick this phone.
I would suggest you flash TWRP recovery if you don't already use that, wipe everything including internal SD card, mount it and copy over the ROM and flash it again. Maybe it's something wrong with the ROM you are using?! Perhaps try a different one and of course make sure it's for an HTC One S (ville) phone.
If you try mount the internal SDcard and Winbloz says the sdcard needs to be formatted then do that using all defaults (fat32).

I apologize for posting in the wrong section, but in the past had an experience that my questions remained un-answered in Q &A Section so had to post it here to attract the best minds to comment
As far as i remember there was no issues with S-Off.. as i waited for some time then did an Adb reboot and later it showed S-Off in Bootloader
I also Googled alot before posting it here .. In case Someone missed out the procedures i followed to get it back, its a long list of tries
I Already tried the RUU process ( will give it one more try now)
I also tried with different ROMs but the same issue

Which RUU are you trying? If it's 2.35, try something older, like 1.84. I could never get 2.35 to work.

The way I see it, this guy is not asking how to change his wallpaper or install a Hello Kitty theme. His phone won't boot. The night I got my phone, I did a factory reset from the bootloader and spent 4 hours having a panic attack trying to fix it. It's a ****ty feeling, we've all been there, and when we were there, all we wanted was to figure out how to save our phones. Helping people while reminding them to post in the right section will make people have a more positive experience with xda. Telling them wrong section and refusing to answer them is petty and alienating.
