New to development... (hence the problems!!)
Followed online guide through HTCDEV to unlock HTC Sensation. Rooted phone and was trying out some custom ROMs which I managed with no major problems albeit I could not get the WiFi to connect (kept giving error message) i assumed this was a Custom ROM issue so changed to another.
I had made Nandroid back-up, which worked fine on the first restore attempt. unfortunately, now it just says MD5 mismatch so I cannot restore to my original working ROM.
Problem now is that I cannot get any of the ROMs I flash to boot past the White HTC screen. Advice on where to go from here much appreciated?

Hi,
Did you change the name of the nandroid backup?
If so,you must leave NO GAPS in it...
Check THIS THREAD
Thanks for the reply Malybru...
The thread lloks great and I'm sure now that as my phone has been unlocked through HTCDev and remains S-On that the Boot.img is the issue. Only snag is that now that I cannot get the phone to boot, I cannot connect it through USB to the computer to Flash the boot.image across. As I previously mentioned, I cannot get the Nandroid backup option working (I didn't change the name?) so I cannot seem to get out of my 'bricked' state!!
Any help greatly appreciated...

Hi,
Try to install 4EXT recovery from HERE
And when you have installed 4ext then remember to go to "tools" and enable "smartflash" every time you flash a rom. As it says in the guide.. Good luck..
NO joy i'm afraid - I cannot seem to get 4Ext onto the phone. It will happily open HBoot and CWM but no amount of trying allows me to get further

In your OP you get wifi errors because of kernel not being flashed as you are S-ON (HTCDEV unlock only unlocks certain partitions) and your booting issues seems to be coming from a boot.img/kernel related problem so my advice would be to S-OFF and use 4EXT recovery to flash another ROM and that should sort it (make sure to double check MD5 CheckSum of whatever ROM you are flashing!)

If I try to switch on phone it simply will not go past the initial white screen with the green HTC logo.
When I open in boatloader it goes through a cycle of checking SD card, loading image etc - at one point it states no image or wrong image and the parsing PG58IMG
Can I still S-Off and transfer 4Ext to the phone with this functionality and if so, could you please explain how. Obviously I can flash Zips from SD Card?

Hi,
Look HERE
Firstly, thankyou for your advice. However, unless I'm missing something (highly likely!!) it appears that to S-Off I will need to connect the phone through USB which does not recognise it?
Also the HTC Sensation opens for HBoot version does not include 1.27.0000 on the beta key generator?

as long as you are SON ..you cant flash firmware
now for ppl with htc-dev unlocked bootloader and S-ON ..the traditional way of flashing wont work
you need to do one extra step (if the step missed ..either the rom doesnt boot up or you will have wifi error)
there is a perfectly awesome guide on how to properly flash custom roms in your case
which malybru mentioned it in the second post itself of the same thread
which you are keep on ignoring and asking for more answers (which has been answered ages ago )
now read the thread ..understand it and flash the rom accordingly
I'm getting there slowly after the helpful nudge!! 4Ext flashed and smartflash enabled - trying to flash android rev HD as suggested but still not having much luck (still won't boot past HTC screen)
i did format the SD card previously following a previous troubleshooting thread (bad idea no doubt!!)
Could it be to do with the PG58img.zip- when bootloader opens it still says wrong image?

Have you still got PG58IMG.zip on your sd card?
If so, delete it.

Many Thanks to all who have posted on this thread. Successfully solved the issues and thankfully phone works as a phone on And Rev HD. I just need to rectify the WIFI error when I get a chance. Any hints to an easy guide would be much appreciated. Also, any advice on the best custom ROM to use; I appreciate theres an element of personal choice but i'm after one which will allow me to maxmise the potential of the device in terms of speed without ruining battery life too much?
Thanks

Hi,
If you manage to sort a problem,could you please share what you did,so that others may benefit.
Solution
WiFi now working. I followed the guide suggested for me by Malybru at the start of this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861 I flashed 4Ext recovery instead of CWM. Then Android Rev Supawipe followed by Android Rev HD ROM. All exactly as advertised on the guide by using ADB. Initially WiFi wasn't working but I then flashed CM9 along with separately flashing the boot.img, again using ADB. All works perfectly now. Just follow the guide exactly and you should be fine. The main problem I had was assuming that because the phone did nothing when you connected the USB cable that connecting ADB wouldn't work. Don't think - just follow the guide!! Many Thanks All

Hi everyone!
I've been searching and reading around trying to solve a bootloop problem on my HTC Desire S/Saga (or at least I think it is a bootloop problem) but, so far, I've had no luck.
Here's what has happened and what's going on:
1) S-off and got hboot 6.98.1002 through revolutionary
2) phone worked normally for six months and suddenly, without any changes or flashes, it rebooted and started a boot loop, ie, I can't get into any in-OS menus.
3) Choosing recovery of factory settings from hboot menu just reboots the phone and restarts the loop.
4) I've tried flashing (both through fastboot and android flasher) the eng hboot 0.98.0000 and clockworkmod recovery images but neither had any effect.
Phone was vodafone-locked, running a vanilla Android 2.3.4.
hboot menu data:
SAGA PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-6.98.1002
RADIO-3822.10.08.04_M
eMMC-boot
I don't have any backup data from pre-revolutionary, either :|
I'm knocking my head against the walls, hoping that the phone's only temporarily bricked... any ideas?
Thanks in advance for helping a n00b...
Doesn't sound like a hboot problem you me, but that could just be me. And I don't think flashing the stock hboot will help.
Are you sure you are flashing the ENG hboot? It's 0.98.2000. 0.98.0000 is most likely your stock hboot and can't be flashed over revolutionary hboot in most cases.
So to get back to stock stock..... You will need to run your RUU after the new hboot has been flashed.
Another option is for you to install a custom ROM and avoiding the RUU. I still suggest you flash the ENG hboot though.

So I tried to flash the ENG hboot from this thread, using android flasher and later using this method, but adb never lists my Saga.
Fastboot lists it correctly, though. I *think* I had USB debugging on, if I recall correctly.
Using androidflasher I get a flash ok notice and then the bootloop just restarts...
Any ideas?

Your problem sounds exactly like the one on the thread linked below.... in which case, if you just try the steps from the concerned thread, and are still unable to fix your device, it can be written off as another dead eMMC...
Just follow the instructions on this thread...maybe you will have better luck than the OP?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1507106
So did your hboot change or not? If hboot and recovery won't flash then I have to agree with above, fried emmc :-(
yeah it could be an emmc problem, you may want to check the sticky in the development forum, if this is the real problem there is a possibility for a fix, not necessarily emmc replacement

This is really wierd, I got a phonecall, turned the call off, the phone rebooted and entered the bootloop.
Nothing fishy or wierd, no flashing erros, just a regular phonecall from my boss. Damn :|
If only I could get the normal hboot on I could repair it under warranty
Well, thanks everybody
Try going for warranty repair, for a few guys over here at xda no one checked (or din not care) whether the phone was rooted or s-off when they went to service their phone. Maybe you'll get lucky too. Good luck!
Appologies in advance I suspect that this has been covered somewhere but i've spent hours so far and cannot find anything specific to my problem.
I was running Insert coin 2.5.1 on Gingerbread 2.3.4 and decided to upgrade to ICS.
I had clockwork mod 5 working and tried to flash ICS rom , (insertcoin sense 4, v1.7).
The firmware loaded ok but when rebooting the phone I got constant bootloop.
Read the forums and reealised that i needed to load PG58IMG.zip to change to the ICS bootloader. I loaded this file which took ok and has changed the bootloader.
When entering the bootloader i get

hey the roms you've downloaded need to be flashed from recovery

first of all get 4EXT recovery(more compatible for custom roms)...and then flash the rom

Hi ganeshp
I have tried but cannot get 4EXT recovery to install onto the phone. I can only gain access to the bootloader and a basic recovery. I have no ROM loaded onto the phone, reboot gives me a black screen. I have screwed the phone up big time.
I cannot talk to the phone via my windows 7 PC even with all software required attached. The bootloader promt changes from fastboot to fastboot usb when I connect the phone but cmd prompt still doesn't connect to the phone?
I need to perform all functions to restore a ROM via the recovery menu as that is all I have but which ROM should work with my Bootloader version???
Thanks

now remeber this AS LONG AS YOU GOT BOOTLOADER YOU ARE NOT BRICKED AT ALL
the reason 4EXT didnt worked via fastboot because you got *locked* bootloader..flash the 3.32 firmware again using the same guide ive linked post #1 ...then do the steps in post #2

Hey guys, a few weeks ago i took the OTA JB Update HTC offered me, but was not happy with it (Music controls, USM missing,..) so i tried to install the Viper Rom to my phone.
As the instructions said i first did a nandroid backup (which I gave a wrong name it appears so i couldn't use it afterwards (Md5 Sum Error or something)), then i flashed the rom and next i tried to flash the boot image from my PC which didnt work (i think it has something to do with UMS missing, not sure though).
My CWM said my SD card couldnt be mounted and i am stuck in a bootloop when trying to start normally (after white splash screen it goes black - drains power - but doesnt do anything else) however i do get into bootloader and i have succesfully been able to do stuff via fastboot.
For instance i flashed the stock recovery which apperantly gave me an error sign so i flashed the TWRP Recovery the HTC One S All in One Kit provided me with (̶ ̶j̶u̶s̶t̶ ̶t̶i̶r̶e̶d̶ ̶i̶t̶ ̶o̶u̶t̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶i̶n̶s̶t̶e̶a̶d̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶g̶o̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶i̶n̶t̶o̶ ̶r̶e̶c̶o̶v̶e̶r̶y̶ ̶i̶t̶ ̶s̶h̶o̶w̶s̶ ̶m̶e̶ ̶a̶ ̶[̶I̶]̶*̶S̶e̶c̶u̶r̶i̶t̶y̶ ̶W̶a̶r̶n̶i̶n̶g̶*̶[̶/̶I̶]̶ ̶i̶n̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶B̶o̶o̶t̶l̶o̶a̶d̶e̶r̶ - works). Also I locked and unlocked the bootloader succesfully, so I think I do have chances left getting my phone back to work.
The Options for my situation I have seen so far are:
Using an RUU for my Phone (I tried various already, but i somehow don't seem to find the right one)
Down/Upgrading (not sure) my HBoot and running an RUU designed for the Endeavour, but known to support my CID (HTC__102).
Doing something with the Files inside an RUU (RUU.zip method or something)
This one i havent recherched on yet: Changing my CID to the "super CID" and then using an RUU or something.

You should flash your phone,i think

I believe I have the exact same issue, after trying to install TWRP and changing to CWM Touch. I tried to run Revone through ADB and the commands seemed to work but when I reboot I am still S-On and Tampered. I would love to hear if anyone get's this to work. Thanks.
Do what Everest said.
Mind you what I would do is get twrp onto phone make sure your bootloader is unlocked and then flash a zip with twrp and with zip on usb via otg.

Thanks, i'll work on that first and then try Revone if needed. I've used recovery successfully on older models so I get that process. Newby question on the use of fastboot flash: I am seeing reference to use of the flash command which I understand - followed by going into recovery and installing the zip for the same file. If that is the correct 1-2 step for a rom fine, but where do I find (file location) the zip that I flashed in the first step? I'm sure it's easy, I can run with the basic pointers once I hear them. Thanks!!

I tried ADB SIDELOAD before getting rumrunner, message is failed to write data 'protocol fault (no status)'
Finally I attempted Rumrunner after checking ADB devices which does return (my serial number) recovery
Resulting message:
please wait.........................
ERROR: run rumrunner again and READ (no adb connection to device. Debugging on? Drivers?)
Even though ADB sees the device in terminal.. I'm not sure what to make of that.
It's probably something simple I missed like needing a new boot.img or creating a file or script.
That is where I don't have experience. Again thanks for your patience!! Learning.
Are you sure your bootloader is unlocked?
Looks like it's reading different partition.
Good luck.

Could it be a fake flag? I def had it unlocked, and believe I relocked it when I started having issues. Then I think I used revone to change the flag. I may as well jump into fastboot and reapply the htcdev token again. How can I tell if it is unlocked after?
Another note. I notice when I exit TWRP it tells me my device is not rooted and offers to install supersu...yet the next time I go in and exit again it says the same thing. The theme that seems to be building here for me is nothing is really able to be applied. Frustrating. I'll get that htc token flashed for now....It sure would be amazing if there was an RUU that I could actually apply. I haven't found one that works.
Unlocked
..By the way, if it helps, I have another exact same model. I just don't want to mess it up trying to get set up to do a backup, especially if the device I am working on won't flash anything anyway.
Anyone help
Can anyone give me an idea of where my main problem begins? As I mentioned, I am s-ON and can't seem to get past that. Since there is no full RUU downloan for this version, I can't just flash that. As it is now I can get adb, fastboot, and rebootRUU access, but no solution is working. I am certain the htcdev unlock worked, but every time I try to flash something I run into an error. I can see a file system if I go in as if I'm going to insall a zip in TWRP but am not sure if it works, the partition log keeps telling me E: unable to mount '/cache'. I also see a message Kernel does not have support for reading SELinux...which I imagine effects sideload options. What can I do? I appreciate any help.

I can`t remember that you need s-off for TWRP and i dont think so!
Also here no comment @ https://twrp.me/devices/htconess4.html
What a Error you get?
Post exactly the error you get. For flashing TWRP you shouldn't be S-Off
Edit: I've checked the link for the ROM you've said you tried to follow flashing instructions....that is an S4 (ville) ROM and that TWRP is for S4 not for villeC2 as it appears in your bootloader info. DO NOT TRY TO FLASH ANYTHING from S4 section, you must flash a ROM and TWRP made for villeC2 (S3) cause they're not compatible.
