Just make sure you use the right RUU after you've flashed the 0.98.2000 hboot.

Yes, you can find the right version by using fastboot getvar all
The INFOversion-main and INFOcidnum should guide you to the right RUU.

yes, i had follow thats tips, but it`s only make my desire s became original rom, but when i saw on boot screen, it`s still show S-OFF....

I don't know if you already fixed it, but a guy named Desire Fanatics did a video on how to unroot and S-ON. I didn't post 8 posts yet, so i cant link it, but if you search for him on Youtube, you should be able to find the video. It's one of his most recent. Remember to watch the comments, because if i recall correctly, some people had some kind of error show up. I don't think they meant anything though.

That tutorial works well as long as all you've done is rooted and S-off'ed. But if you've been using Custom ROMs, especially those that are ports from newer HTC phones, the tutorial lacks instructions regarding changing the Misc_version before using the RUU (at least that was the case the last time i checked). That can get you an error and stop the process midway, with a screwed up system. So tread carefully. Remember, you need to address both the CID and the Misc_version before an RUU upgrade is succesfully done.

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

Hi,
With an hboot of 1.18 ,you should try to S-off,and SuperCID using revolutionary.
Look Here
When you come to CWM use 5.0.2.0 HERE
When you are successfully s-off,and SuperCID,then you can Go HERE ,where you will find everything you need to upgrade to ARHD ICS...
Read everything carefully,then read it AGAIN,and you should be fine.

i think im supposed to install a 1.27 hboot? can anyone link me the file?
ill continue reading up in the mean time

Are you flashing the appropriate firmware for the ROM? For ICS ROM's you will need to update your firmware and HBOOT to V3.32 with HBOOT 1.27.000.

Hi,
Yes, you need to flash the appropriate firmware,which for ICS is 3.32
This will give hboot 1.27 ,and the radio you need as well.
Look HERE
It explains everything in detail,and gives you all the links you need...

thanks, ill check it out
EDIT: nice.. after searching for mirrors to files i got it working.. good stuff

Stuck in bootloop

So I was being stupid and didn't read all the instructions while I was trying to flash a PG58IMG for ICS and I think I installed the wrong version for me. Now I'm stuck in a bootloop but I CAN access the recovery and hboot. I don't know what to do now.

Do you have a ics Rom flashed to match the ics firmware? If you still have gb this will put you into bootloop . Flash the ics firmware which is 3.32 or 3.33 then flash the ics Rom. You must remove the pg58img file after you flash Also or it will continue to try to upgrade the file over and over . I hope this helps you.

I'll try flashing 3.33 or 3.32 then flashing the ROM, thanks.

Right now it's stuck at the boot "htc" logo, It's been like this for about 4 mins, is this normal on updating the firmware?
EDIT: It has been about 15 mins now and I recided to go into hboot and the message thing at the top was changed. Now it reads:

eMMC-boot
and at the end after the "sd checking", it says "Battery voltage is too low! Please change a battery..."
Not sure if has anything to do with my problem, but its worth putting out there.

No this is not normal. Charge your device, update firmware 3.32 or 3.33, now you WILL have a bootloopv if your on a gb Rom, so update to a ics Rom. This should solve the bootloop. When updating with a pg58img file you place it on the root of your sd card, pull battery put battery back in then press power and volume at the same time then press power to accept update it will automatically update .remove the pg58img file at this point or it will continue to try to update. I really hope this helps. Sometimes it takes up to 5 or so minutes for the first boot of a Rom but after that I would say it's too long if you're still waiting. Have you done all these steps? With the correct firmware?are you wiping before your flash? It should work smoothly with these steps? Once your charged go over steps again make sure your not missing a step. Hope this helps

Nevermind, I seem to have fixed it by updating the firmware version, thanks for your help!

keep in mind one thing... you must use matching firmware/rom.. i mean for example
- Firmware 3.33 Universal / (ICS)
- Firmware 1.17 Universal / (GB)
so if you're on ICS you must be on 3.33 fw, that should do the trick

Had stock ROM and Rooted Via HTCdev and CWM'd with HTC one X AIo Kit. Phone was working perfectly until I installed ROM Toolkit and decided to change fonts. Afterwards, the phone got stuck on the boot logo, but I can access bootloader and recovery mode via CWM. I can't install PG58IMG even that i have tried several versions, including 3.24, 3.30, 3.32 & 3.33.
When detecting PG58IMG I get this:
