Hello,
I tried to install the new firmware which InsertCoin requires for the new ROM. (needed for 4.0.3), which didn't work out very well. The first time after flashing the PG58IMG.zip I couldn't install the ROM, so someone recommended me to retry installing the PG58IMG.zip, I did that and it messed my complete phone up. It kept boot looping and Clockworkmod gave me a bunch of error's and didn't do anything.
After installing a older PG58IMG.zip the phone at least worked again, Clockworkmod works and I can flash ROM's again, however when I go to my bootloader it says "-Locked-", not "-Revolutionary-".
Could this be fixed by doing the Revolutionary methode again? Isn't that going to f#ck up my phone?

It's normal If You changed firmware. Everything is OK, still You have S-OFF and You can flash custom ROM's. You don't have to run Revolutionary again.

Make sure your supercid and flash newest firmware which is 3.24 then flash latest insertcoin
Your hboot should say 1.27 and unlocked
As the title says. I received an HTC Desire S, which is stuck on the htc screen, from my friend. It won't boot and it seems like a brick.
I can although enter the bootloader with power button + volume down.
These are the following information:
SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT -0.98.0002
RADIO - 3805.06.02.03_M
eMMC - boot
Mar 30 2011, 17:29:31
I tried flashing a RUU, but that didn't work. I think the major problem is with the S being ON. Is there any way I can boot this device at all? It's kinda of a shame since it's basically in a good as new condition...
Thanks for all the help in advance!
What happened when you tried ruu? Error?
Device should still be covered by original warranty

The installation gets stuck at "Rebooting into bootloader".
I don't know about the warranty, but I'll tell him to return it if all else fails.
Are you sure that the necessary drivers are installed on the PC?
does the ruu give any errors? Or is that what you said above
If you enter the boot loader can you perform a full data reset? Any errors?
Swyped from my DesireS
Boot into bootloader, switch to fastboot mode (select FASTBOOT with volume keys and press Power), connect USB, see that you have correct drivers and the phone is recognized, run the RUU. It'll work.
Hi SlashSpeed,
propably you got the same problem like me. No solution for me so far:

What error returns on flashing the RUU?
Hi
Try S-OFFing your phone from revolutionary.io and flash one of the pre-rooted roms

This is not possible without adb or recovery?!
So here's my findings so far.
I tried running RUU from fastboot mode. No errors, installation gets stuck at "Rebooting into bootloader". I waited for over 2 hours and nothing happened. My PC recognizes the bootloader as "Android Bootloader interface" and fastboot as "My htc" in device manager.
I also tried running PG88IMG.zip with no luck. It gets stuck at [2] BOOTLOADER - Updating and nothing happens, even after hours.
The only think I have left for now, is the goldcard method it seems. I'll try it with my HTC G1 and report back.
Edit: Actually, I have no idea how to perform the goldcard method...some help would be much appreciated.
As he hasn't unlocked the device he should still be covered over the original warranty

Actually, I asked him about that a couple of days ago and apparently, the device is not in warranty anymore. So unless I can fix it somehow, it's dead for good..
You need to unlock the device and S-off it before flashing a Custom Rom.
First follow this thread:
[GUIDE] How to S-OFF your 1.47.x ROM with Revolutionary
Then follow this thread:
[Info] After Revolutionary: install Clockworkmod, root & more
Or install 4ext and install 4Ext Recovery with the install button.
After your done, flash your desired rom. I would recommend Endymion Rom
If you want a stock rom let me know.
Hope this helped you, if not report back.

Did you install a custom recovery and can you still get into it? if yes then try wiping cache and dalvik cache and then restarting...
also answer post above did you separately run the

Wait, do I need to do those steps that are quoted or just with the windows batch script?
I have to do the quoted steps a-g with my HTC Dream, so I presume I'll have to use that device for the adb as well?
Sorry for this sort of questions, I have never done these things before.
Ok,
So I've used roms on my hd2 and one x, so I thought this would be simple on a friends sensation, oh how wrong was I.
I have unlocked the sensation via htcdev, installed clockworkmod and installed pyramids jellybean rom.
Now I have all sorts of issues, the rom boots then drops somehow straight to clockworkmod. I can't mount the sd card within clockworkmod to try a different rom and the phone is now useless, doh.
How can I fix this please guys?
Did you update the firmware? Are you s off or s on? If your s on you must flash boot image. Download 4 ext recovery, enable smart flash in 4ext. This way you can flash boot image. Please read flashing roms with s on. Also for that rom the firmware must also be upgraded. Let me link you to the guide to flashing roms with s on. This will help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861
Someone more knowledgeable than myself can give you step by step instructions to get you out of this pinch. But in the mean time read the link I posted about flashing with s on. It will help in the future. Best wishes not to worry I'm sure you can fix this.

HTC Dev doesn't really unlock it. It only partially unlocks it.
It doesn't s-off the device so you don't have access to the system partition, meaning you can't properly install a custom ROM without a few extra steps. And I don't think you can do it at all with clockworkmod. You need 4EXT Recovery which can flash a ROM with s-on. There's a few extra steps to doing it but it works.
You also have to make sure you have the correct firmware. So if the device was previously on a Gingerbread ROM and you didn't upgrade firmware, it won't work.
Now, the part where it boots then drops back into recovery is weird.
Tell us exactly what steps you did so we can better determine where something went flukely.
I'm CERTAIN it's fixable though.

Yes it should
Also some roms require 4ext it's a super easy touch recovery to use. You can download from here or the playstore.

Yeah I'm certain it's fixable too , just not sure how, lol. I'll give 4EXT a shot. I have no idea how or why it drops straight to clockworkmod either, I would expect it to reboot to clockworkmod if anything, but it just kind of switches from the rom straight to it, very odd.
If you could point me to a firmware I might need I would be very grateful.
It is universal 3.33 let me get link also 3.32 will work on most ics roms but 3.33 is the newest I'm running jelly bean and use 3.33

If you are s-off you shouldn't have to flash boot.img separately. It will do all that with the ROM flash.
Maybe that's what's screwy. Though a borked up ROM still shouldn't affect SD card mounting in recovery...that is really weird. Do you have a card reader that you can use to check the card out in your computer? I'm wondering if somehow you screwed up the card when flashing the ROM. Maybe it wont' mount because the card isn't formatted properly anymore. Stuff like that has happened before.

Yes if your s off you simply flash from recovery without boot img. But do update your firmware.

As far as I was aware S-ON just prevented the boot.img from being written via recovery, which can be done with adb. So the only reasons for these issues must be firmware version right?

Hi,
It is a pity you went to HTC to unlock your phone.
I wonder if you can still s-off using revolutionary.
You are going to need to run a RUU,and hopefully get a working phone again.
Try and find a RUU HERE that matches your area and carrier.

Yup. If you have the 1.18 hboot you have Gingerbread firmware, which won't support Jellybean or ICS.
The good news is that you can flash a gingerbread rom and get the phone back to a working state right away if you need to get the phone back to the owner.
The RUU to restore is pretty simple. Then Revolutionary s-off proceedure is also extremely painless.
Reverting back to stock and starting over to s-off shouldn't take more than 15 minutes if you do it right. Then flashing the ICS/GB firmware (3.32 or 3.33) takes 3 minutes. Then the new rom takes 3 more minutes.
Just make sure you RUU to gingerbread and not to ICS. The ICS Hboots are harder to s-off. It's worth adding the extra step to flash the ICS/JB firmware later.
This is driving me nuts, tried 2 ruu's, both failed, if it was my phone it would be out the window!

Feel like a noob posting this, but I've been trying to fix this problem for the past 24hrs with no luck.
This is the first HTC device I've rooted in nearly a year, and I have to say even though it's pretty, I'm really disliking the evita.
I rooted it using Hasoon's toolkit, and other than being unable to install twrp (or cwm), or getting s-off, it all went well. I just pushed twrp 2.5 to my phone and left s-on until the toolkit gets updated. (not sure how to do this using adb, it's been awhile. ) I have a working hboot, fastboot, and twrp install, and even usb mass storage is working from twrp.
Now, the horror begins. I downloaded team vipers jb rom, and it seemed that the flash went perfectly. But it went into a loop and it seemed to have really messed up the internal sd. Couln't mount it, twrp couldn't find it during my attempts to install other roms or even a factory ruu. I found nocturnals sd fix and that worked like magic, but now twrp will not install any other roms, and everytime I try to push a factory ruu I get a parsing error? On my first attempt at restoring a factory ruu, I forgot that my cid was "1111111" and the bootloader was unlocked so it would fail immediatly. But, even with s-on I managed to get my cid to CWS__001 (ATT's cid) and relocked the bootloader temporarily. But this still didn't change things. Don't know if it matters, but I used hasoons toolkit to push the ruu to my phone and it's during this I get parsing errors. Attempting to install a rom through twrp (CM10, a stock rooted rom, etc.) will immediatly fail also. It says "error executing updater binary in zip and something else that I'll post after trying a CM nightly install.
Update: CM Nightly hangs at the HTC splash screen :crying:
Sorry it's alot to read, but I'm feeling lost at this point...

TWRP 2.3.3.1 should have a working touchscreen with hboot 2.14 are you sure you didn't try 2.3.3.0? that one requires you to downgrade touchscreen firmware first.
You need to fastboot flash boot boot.img where boot.img is extracted from the rom you're flashing if you're s-on and hboot >= 1.14.
If you have SuperCID, do not RUU without S-OFF or you really will have a paperweight.

Hmm.. I could have. I did it last night after two hours of frustration.
And I just did that to a new install of Nocturnal's rom, but with no luck. It still just hangs at the HTC dev warning screen. I'm going to try re downloading the ViperXL rom and hope I just had a bad copy..
heh. I did that without thinking last night and spent an hour trying to reverse the damage I did. Not only did I have s-on, but my cid was still "1111111".
./
Androidfilehost is only giving me ~50Kbps, so viper's rom has 3 hours left,
but Cleanrom is almost done.
Is there anyway to s-off the evita without booting into an os?
If not, can someone point me to a thread explaining how to manually s-off?
It seems that it's the cause for all this trouble I'm having and I've never had to do manually.
Thank you everyone for your help,
my phone still doesn't have a working os but I do feel like I'm getting somewhere.
Edit: How many of you have had problems installing roms with twrp 2.5.5.0? I'm thinking about trying 2.3.3.1. I thought this was what I flashed last night, but my touchscreen didn't work and according to exad's post I probably had the wrong one.
Use twrp 2.3.3.1 all versions above 2.4 have one issue or another.
You need a Rom installed and usb debugging turned on to s-off.

1. Unlocked the boooader as per the htc dev site instructions.
2. Tried to soff using jbear method. Every thing went fine untill the jbear utility gave command to restart the device.
After restart, jbear utility failed to recognise the device. It said device not detected, please install device drivers.
3. From that moment onwards, the device is stuck at the white htc bootscreen.
4. I also followed another guide to install custom recovery and custom rom without s off.
I was able to flash a custom recovery, and even the rom. But the device won't move ahead of the bootscreen.
5. Then tried to return to stock using ruu file. But my region ruu is still not available so that method didnt work(3.33.xx.xx asia india).
Have also tried a few more methods but none seem to work.

he has to be on S-OFF to flash a firmware from bootloader and i don't think he achieved S-OFF
what he must to do is enable smartflash from 4ext(if you don't have that recovery use this one)
then flash the rom

Yeah exactly.. device is still s–on. And thats what is causing all the troubles i guess. Can't flash europe or asia ruu(cid error).
And i have tried enabling smartflash. Flashed the android revolution rom. Installed fine. But still stuck on bootscreen.
And as I am not s–off, so i dont think 3.32 ruu would work. Correct me if i'm wrong.
Try flashing boot.IMG manually.
I don't exactly remember the fast boot command but since fast boot commands are working then you can try flashing the boot image manually.

And where do i get this boot image? From ruu?

Not gonna try and bombard you with information I'm not sure why your phone won't boot but I am sure completely installing a new rom (everything) should fix you up so here is what I'll try and lead you to go..
1 use 4ext recovery and enable smart flash and flash a fresh rom.
So are u on 4ext recovery don't worry if your not that HTC unlocked bootloader is just as good as s-off if your bricked and know how to use it

Get the boot image from the custom ROM. Try to extract it with 7-zip or another similar program

also before flashing any rom
format all partitions except sdcard from 4ext
then enable smartflash and flash the rom
Still no luck
Ok.. i decided to flash a custom rom (ANDROID REVOLUTION)
1. Flashed 4ext recovery
2. Wiped all partitions except sd card.
3. Enabled smartflash.
4. Flashed rom.
5. Rebooted and still stuck at the htc logo screen( m really sick of this logo now).
Did I miss something?
You know those official updates that cone in a format P8500IMG.zip can you try to find that for your phone unfortunately this will probably result in loss of your root

Cheers guys.. Its back to life again
DON'T HAVE WORDS TO THANK YOU ALL.
Here's what I did..
From my experience.. i believe even after enabling smartflash, the boot image wasn't being flashed.
So what I did is extracted the boot. img from custom rom and flashed it via fastboot.
And voila.. it worked!!
Seems so simple now.. but it took me one week. Wouldn't have been possible without you guys.
Thanks a ton.
Cheers.
