Hi,
I have unlocked my bootloader(HBOOT 2.00.0002) using htcdev.com official method (still S-ON) and installed clockwork mod recovery v 5.0.2.0. Then I made a back up, I was running the stock rom (2.10.401.8). Everything went Ok.
Afer trying a couple of roms and getting some crashes, I decide to go back to my stock rom. Go to recovery, make the 3 wipes and restore. CWM says everything is ok. But after rebooting, every single time, the HTC white logo displays and them it goes to the clockworkmod screen.
Is there any extra step to restore a back up beeing s-on?
Flash the original kernel? I assume this still needs to be done even with a CWM backup?

After several tries it finally worked by flashing the original boot.img. Thanks!
I'm having the same problem again..
I flashed the ICS base rom (found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1859700) and its boot.img through clockworkmod. My desire s is unlocked via htcdev, so its S-On, which means the new radio was not flashed, right?
So I want to go back to my gingerbread stock rom back up ((2.10.401.8). Boot into recovery, wipe dalvik cache, wipe cache and wipe data, then restore the back up. Reboot into fastboot and flash boot.img extracted from the back up. Everything seems to be ok,but after rebooting its stuck at the htc white logo, and I've go through the whole proces 3 times now.
Am I doing something wrong or missing some step?
Thanks a lot!

I tried to flash something and my phone got stuck on the htc screen so I reboot to hboot and recovered from a naindroid backup. All is well but my phone boots to the white htc screen and then a black screen that says android. Anyone know why?
When you do a recovery, do you recover the system or data and/ or cache when you do a restore from a backup?
Thanks!
When you restore from a back up it should recover the complete image unless you flashed a custom boot. The only way to get back the stock boot is to either flash it or run the stock ruu. Re flash the rom and see it that fixes the problem.

i don't know if it is necessarily a problem but the phone has the blue android screen after the htc screen so it's just something different when i restored from a backup using clockwork recovery. I only restored system so I wasn't sure about the other restore options like restore boot and restore cache. Is this typical for the blue screen with android to show after the htc screen when performing a reboot?

I have never herd of that but, if your phone works then just let it go.
I have the Nexus S 4G from Sprint and I was trying out the new recovery from TeamWin. Here is what I did:
flashed TeamWin recovery, boot into recovery, made nandroid backup (compressed), reboot into recovery, full wipe, restore nandroid, reboot.
With those steps everything went fine and my phone was running as normal, so I decided to add another step to my testing of the new recovery.
reboot into recovery, full wipe, flash cm7 nightly, boot into freshly installed rom, setup rom as normal. Then I booted back into recovery, full wipe, restore nandroid, reboot.
This time it boots into bootloader saying no boot image or recovery found and this is where the trouble begins. I booted into recovery, and its still teamwin recovery so I try to restore nandroid again and same results. So I go and fastboot flash clockworkmod recovery and boot into it. I try to restore nandroid that I have backed up for clockworkmod and it says can't write boot image. I tried newer version of clockworkmod with no result. I tried fastboot flash back to stock and still boot image won't flash. Tried odin and it hangs at the boot image also.
Anybody have any ideas that I can try, or am I just screwed?

I tried to flash a cm10 rom and i did thought i flashed the boot.img separately as i read you have to but it was stuck booting for at least 25 min so i gave up with that and tried to restore from a backup i made with twrp. I restored from the backup and tried to reboot but nothing happens, it shows the htc screen and then turns black and thats it. I can go into bootloader and recovery but im not sure what to do to get back. Should i try a ruu?

Maybe it was a bad restore? or a bad backup? You could try restoring from your backup again.
Or blaze on and see if you can get CM10 up and running.
Did you wipe /cache/dalvik/system when coming from stock (before installing)? I've seen situations (on other devices), Where I've had to delete the /data partition as well, I'm not sure why it wouldn't boot, but it refused to get past the CM load screen until the /data partition was wiped. If it's a new phone and you don't have too much on the sdcard, this might be worth trying.
Once you have TWRP flashing ROM's shouldn't be too bad, it's just the "fastboot flash boot boot.img" that catches people out usually.
you still have to flash boot.img separate before/after a twrp restore.
Grab the boot.img from a stock rom
Wipe cache/dalvik
Factory reset
Bootloader, fastboot usb, then fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then restore the backup
Thanks everyone for the responses, I was able to get it working after trying a few more times and wiping everything. Not sure why it didnt work earlier but all of a sudden after trying it just worked.
I have the Evo LTE rooted with twrp recovery. I tried to flash stock with goodies on my phone and in the middle of wiping cache dalvic ect. i accidentally wiped everything the system and my entire sd card with all of my back ups!!!!! I still have access to the bootloader and recovery but when i flash a rom it says NO OS INSTALLED. I tried installing the kernel separately through fast boot but to no avail. I'm s-on, radio 1.12

Turn s-on to s-off then you'll be able to flash rom once its rooted.
Well I rooted my phone and flahsed some ROMs, I mean I installed rom after rom to check the best for me and they kinda ****ed my phone... I mean I get incoming phone calls and I can answer them only if Im in lock screen so its kinda ****ed up.. I want to go back into being rooted but not with costum roms, I wiped everything completly (only internal memory left unwiped) and now I'm stuck in boot loop.. Can you help me?
If you had taken a nandroid backup of the stock rooted rom, now's the time to restore it. If not, then you will need to download the factory images from Here and flash them via fastboot and then flash a custom recovery and root it again.

If you actually wiped everything, it won't boot unless you flashed the stock image/another ROM.
Yes, just flash stock onto it with fastboot. Done. Clean slate.
