Hi all,
I just tried flashing miui 2.4.20 to an HTC DESIRE S.
1)Before doing so, I unlocked the bootloader using HTC Dev tool
2)Rooted using superclick tool
3)Installed CWM Recovery using fastboot
and then flashed the rom....it won't go any further than the white HTC screen on reboot even though it looks like the flash is successful. I tried reflashing several times with no luck can someone please help?
EDIT:Just realised that I had to flash the boot.img using fastboot...problem solved.
Is there a way to make the Desire S completely unlocked so that I can flash using cwm without the need of fastboot?

Yes. You need to downgrade your hboot, there are guides for this in the general section, you'll need to find a compatible ruu, get back to stock rom and then use revolutionary to S-Off

I have flashed many devices(Desire, Desire S, HD2, HD and One X) a hundred of times because I am a beta tester. So I know the ins and outs of flashing. But this time I need your help guys.
I have unlocked my Desire S (Hboot is 2.00.0002, S-ON, Radio 3822.10.50.24_M)
flashed TWRP recovery
flashed Viper Saga 2.1.3 JB
flashed boot.img
And the Rom booted and installed. All fine so far.
Now I want to install a different ROM.
Flashed the new PACman JB_2.2_v22 ROM, and boot.img. But this time I got stuck at white screen. So I tried CWM recovery and even 4EXT. Flashed Rom and its boot.img again. No luck. Stuck at white screen every time.
But now the weirdest. At the end I flashed TWRP recovery, Viper Rom and its boot.img again. And damn, I'm stuck at the white screen again.
Also weird is that I am not able to flash an official RUU after unlocking the bootloader again. When plugging in the device I can start the RUU installation proces. But during the sending firmware proces, the phone screen remains black with HTC on it for hours. So I had to remove the cable and boot the phone into bootloader again.
It looks like something is blocking these two processes.
Any ideas? I searched through XDA and on the internet. The only thing I can find to solve the white screen with green HTC is flashing boot.img. But that is not the issue.
The problem and sollution with the RUU installation, I haven't seen at all yet.
Hope somebody could point me in the right direction.

To flash an ruu you need to lock your bootloader. As for the other issue do you know what panel your phone has, it's not an issue on sense roms and only becomes apparent in jb roms. Check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1943524

Thanks for your reply.
Yes I've locked my phone again before installing the RUU. Made no sense. I've tried 2 WWE RUUs both with the same issue.
What panel I have I really don't know. Viper is sense. Worked om first flash. But after flashing PACman, the boot issues started. Now even Viper is not booting anymore.
I check the thread you posted. Will try the kernels. See what is happening.
EDIT: flashing these kernels do not work, because I'm S-ON. Need boot.image.

As I wrote. I've tried all of them. Am now on 4EXT. But still facing same issues. White screen with green logo.
I'd start fresh, make sure your unlocked, check the drivers are installed correctly (are you on win 8, if so check post two of link in my sig) format all but sd in 4ext, flash rom (sense rom to start) flash kernel. Your obviously no noob but sometimes we miss the obvious. I'm around for a bit so report back

The update to 4.0.4 for the ATT HTC One X has arrived! Unfortunately, everytime I update, everything looks good until it restarts to begin the installation of the update procedure. It gets about a 3rd done before it stops, then shows a red triangle for about a minute and restarts back. Saying that the "update was unsuccessful". What am I doing wrong? I am rooted on 1.85. The bootloader is "relocked". Any suggestions would be great.

which ruu are u trying to flash...
there isnt a ruu for 2.20 yet...

the signature on it is not correct
the only way u can flash is with s-off
you can get 2.20
by ruu 1.85 then dl and copy the ota .zip someone else extracted put on sdcard
and flash it with stock recovery.

Thanks, but I found out the stock recovery in my recently relocked phone was gone. I flashed the RUU the way I was supposed to (1.85) and It turns out, the bootloader became "tampered" again. I have no idea how that happened. But it's all good now. Currently finishing up installing all my apps the old fashioned way since I lost root (eh, didn't need it anyway)
See my posts in the PSA thread in General. I'm rooted on 1.85 but never unlocked. My update failed exactly the same way as yours. Still no luck.

If you deleted any system apps then the OTA will fail. You'll need to reinstall them or RUU back to stock before you try to update.

It is a root issue, rooting my phone changed the filmware version to include "R2" at the end. Not a big thing, but enough to completely f*ck up my phone when it was time to update. No more rooting for me til I gain the courage again... And root is found for 4.0.4.

I had my TB running Zeus Skyraider. I was having some minor issues but nothing that really scared me. I decided to restore it/unroot it in case I had to bring it in. I used the app thunderbolt restore. Now it won't boot past the white "HTC" screen and it only says HTC, no "Quietly brilliant". I can get to the bootloader but it automatically tries to install a update and won't let me do anything other than reboot. I'm really scared I bricked my phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I should probably also mention that it did boot up once and everything looked fine, and then I tried to install a verizon OTA update. That is when it started really having problems.

But I can't even get to recovery. The bootloader won't let me.
After the bootloader checks IMG150 or whatever it asks if I want to start update. Whatever I say it just leads to the plain HTC screen again. It also says "***LOCKED***" at the top of the screen. Is my phone completely locked?
The bootloader is locked. Perhaps flash an RUU to return to stock rather than an ota.

Ok, I am pretty bad at this stuff. Can someone point me to an appropriate RUU. I don't know what I should use. Does the radio I had before restoring matter or anything like that? I just want to know exactly what I am doing before I do it.
Okay, Zeus is gingerbread, so if you were running that, then you are best served flashing one of the gingerbread RUU files. You most certainly do NOT want to flash a froyo version.

Yes.
Remove the SD and then try to factory reset from the bootloader.
If it doesn't work remove the PG05IMG.zip off of the SD and then rename this https://dl.dropbox.com/u/61129367/Stock-ROM.zip to PG05IMG.zip and put it on the SD and then boot to the bootloader and run it. Then remove the file from the card and try to boot.
So nothing ITT seemed like it helped because the phone was not booting up all the way, but this morning it was on and everything was working so, I think it is at least in a state where I can take it to a verizon store and see what they can do about it. Thanks for all of the advise everyone.

So Thunderbolt restore successfully got you to an old stock rom that ran fine?
I'm not sure how to get back to stock as I purchased my phone off craigslist and it has CM10 on it with a custom recovery (TWRP or something I believe). I would like to get back to completely stock as if I purchased the phone brand new from AT&T. I searched through the forums and found stock RUU's but I'm not sure which one to use or how to flash it.
I would appreciate any help at all. Thank you.

Check your hboot version ...if 1.14 relock bootloader then run the 2.20 ruu...if your on 1.09 or 1.11 I guess if you wanna go back to stock and have no desire of rooting then just relock and run the 2.20 ruu
Not really sure why you would want to be back at bone stock seeing as the warranty is gone with no chance to reverse it. Even if you get the boot loader relocked it states Relocked on the bootloader screen. Just flash a stock rom... and keep super user so you can remove all AT&T's bloat. The phones memory is already small as it is, no reason to waste it on crap apps.

Ah I gotcha, well seeing how you can't ever return to true stock (the day you first got it) I'd just flash a stock ROM and call it a day. Trying to relock the boot loader is a waste of time. Since it will make no difference.

Which is still not true stock. You cannot get the boot loader back to factory locked. The warranty is gone and cannot be recovered so these steps that are being taken are useless and make extra hurdles for the buyer if they plan to root. I'd recommend just selling it with a stock ROM on it with the boot loader left unlocked.

Hello, I recently received an AT&T One X and the very first thing I did with it was try to root it and all that fun stuff. After a long adventure I couldn't get the HBOOT to upgrade so I had changed the CID to HTC__001 from cws_001 (I couldn't find this CID anywhere, but I swear that's what it said) and then the bootloader was re-locked. There is no OS, there is no recovery, I've tried 10 RUU's from Asia WWE to the UK RUU's and than all the AT&T ones I can find.
Most fastboot commands come back with a "Too many Links" error which I assume is from the bootloader being locked, and I cant change the bootloader's status because the bin file I got is for the supercid.
Please help me, I am usually quite proficient with this type of stuff but I really buried myself in a hole.
Why were you trying to upgrade your hboot..? Anyways.. What hboot do you have now? Is your Cid still htc__001?

Yeah no ruu will work because you have an international cid with an at&t phone.

Flash a stock-based ICS rom and then S-OFF, then you can change your cid, or whattever you need to do
Doesn't necessarily need to be ics but yeah you get the idea. After s-off then you can ruu to update your hboot and anything else that gets updates. Bear in mind that on aosp ROMs the touchscreen won't work after you upgrade until you downgrade the touchscreen firmware.

Don't you still need supercid to s-off? Or is that no longer a requirement?
Never tried with am international or cid from another carrier.. Maybe it'll work? If not he can always hex edit his cid.

Thank you for the replies, the link to the Hex editing of the CID saved me. I knew that's where the CID was located but I didn't know you could dd it out of the system. By the way, I was having hard times trying to flash CM9 on there and it didn't work, neither did viper roms so I was greatly discouraged. By the way, I have no earthly clue on how to S-OFF the One X so I will probably try to look harder for that. I'm probably going to either RUU to where I was, I believe 2.2 or put on.. some rom that sounds good. Any favorites? Y'all say I can flash ICS to it if I just flash the boot.img first right? I thought that the partition sizes would cause a conflict.. Oh well, I'll give it a try

You should be able to flash any rom so long as you fastboot flash the boot.img ics or jb.
