I have encountered a problem when I try to update my HTC from Android 2.3.3 to ICS with HTC:s official RUU.
The phone was before rooted and S-OFF with revolutionary. I followed a video guide on youtube to make it S-ON again and installed a RUU which gave me Android 2.3 and Sense 2.1 I believe. After that I let the phone upgrade itself to 2.3.3 through HTC:s OTA.
Then I executed the ICS RUU europe version. At the first things looked OK. The program recognized the phone and the update started. Radio update went well and then it halted with the program standing at "sending..." (this I believe, is just before the actual update).
I had to pull out the USB-cable and remove the battery to turn on the phone again (which now was freezed at the HTC logo with the black background). Luckily it was no problem to boot the OS again. But of course it was still Android 2.3.3.
But when I boot into the bootloader it sais ***RELOCKED*** and H-BOOT 2.02.0002, look at the attached image.
I have tried several times to make the update again on different computers with different Windows versions but no luck. The latest HTC sync version is installed and I can no longer come up with ideas that takes the progress futher.
I little thing disturbs me though... Can my problem have something to do with the bootloader saing ***RELOCKED***?
Please help me
Hello,
Have you try to do the flash of your Desire S in Fastboot Mode ?
very strange
Rebooting to fastboot first didn´t make any difference.
Rom update utility still stops at sending. See attached picture.
What if I downgrade to an older H-BOOT?
The RUU update should take about 10-15mins and most often times stuck at sendibg. Just ket your phobe RUU itself for a 30mins and see if there's any change. If not. Try downgrading to least version then RUU to ICS

You mean, downgrade to the oldest RUU?

download oldest one from here.
Sigh...
Then I have to go through the downgrade process again
How did you get on? I've got 2 Desire S's here with the same symptoms.
Finally solved!!
I have finally solved this issue with the update not going to the phone by simply using another PC running Windows XP.
I had a similar problem going to FroYo so Windows 7 doesn't seem to like HTC for some reason.

How is this possible?
I've S-OFFed and rooted with Revolutionary my Desire S. Than I 've flashed it with pree-rooted SAGA S stock ROM (stock, hmmm...) and I've flashed a new radio.
I went on to check the update and there it was! Official update available! I didn't go on, because I',m not sure what it means.
Does anyone know whether it is safe to go on with the update? I don't know which update it is, but anyway, what could happen?
s-off phones with prerooted stock roms can receive updates but as i can see many ppl had problems (stuck on HTC logo etc...) after update
Just plain weird. There are a lot of people (mainly devs) said that you/we shouldnt be able to receie OTA updates if hboot/recovery among other things are not official releases.
Based on what you've done the last tine is update the recovery to newest one? Is it the official release?
If so, this gave me the impression that ota updates are dependent on the phone's recovery version/image?

I've got the updated CVM Recovery via ROM Manager. It is the latest version. Otherwise I still have the old HBOOT ENG 0.98.2000.
I figure, if it's a "stock ROM" only being pree-rooted that could confuse the "official update", as nothing is acctualy changed, only root is made. But that's still weird, because I wasn't given the offer to the official 2.3.5/ 3.0 sense update.
Yet after the "manual" update, the updates continue.
Mind you, there is one strange thing though...
After each reboot phone wants to send the info to the HTC, saying "the phone has recovered/ rebooted strange way. Inform HTC?"
I decline every time...
And I wonder which update could it be? Kernell, sense 3.5? HBOOT 2.00...?
what prerooted rom u use?
update cant be 3.5 only 3.0.3.5 is leaked rom

Beginning of what?? Thats not latest version. There is update to 401.5
~Swaypovano sa Desire S BRE!~
AHA! I know what you mean "Adidas108"...
Yeah, I know there is an update to 401.5. But I was given the option to the official update after 401.4 pree-rooted stock ROM...
And am wondering whether it is possible that now the officialy offered OTA could be 401.5? That's what I wrote before... I mean, this maks no sense. There shouldn't be a possibility of an update.
Since I've flashed the pree-rooted ROM, after each reboot phone wants to send the info to the HTC, saying "the phone has recovered/ rebooted strange way. Inform HTC?" Has anyone experienced this?
It sends that maybe because it wasnt fully successful to applyin the updates properly?
Again, still plain wierd. Hhmmm. Yhere mut be something at play here that we still didnt know how updates are pushed.
Im startibg to think that it may be dependent on the network/sim card you're ysing. Maybe by IP address that the phone is connected to?

I have s-off and rooted my Desire S with Revolutionary and I recieved the Sense 3.0 and Android 2.3.5 update yesterday evening. I installed it and now my phone just won't go past the HTC welcome screen. Just white bacground with HTC logo. I can go to bootloader and I already tried some things as mentioned in the threads about how to s-on Desire S from s-off but it still hangs on the HTC logo. I also tried the factory reset but no luck. I think I need to s-on somehow without booting the system and then the new update would maybe work which is already installed. Or maybe I can just reset all the software and make it s-on and start from zero. Any ideas? I just want my phone to work again
Many thanks!

But according to phone software info it did go thru the "cistom ROM" flash OK. I've got everything as it should be after aplying the flashes...
And since there are many replies in which PPL are stating they got stuck at the "white HTC logo" screen. I'm not to sure if I should try updating via officially offered update.
Can those who updated their phones with the official update, after flashing their phones with custom - pree-rooted or any other kind of ROMs, state their software status, before they continued with an official update offered afterwards. please?

Maybe we should S-On our phones before applying the OTA update... But do you have a possibility to flash some other ROM now? Can you even make a recovery afterwards?

some files/images/partitions might not been updated properly. E.i. Recovery, hboot, kernel, etc..
I'm pretty sure we need to be s-on to apply the new update. At least I'm screwed right now. I cannot do recovery, it shows me a warning sign with a cell phone on the background and just stalls there, I have to take the battery out to kill it.
Okay I messed around and now I got into ClockworkMod recovery and I recieved the eMMC fried chip error. I wiped cache and got rid of the errors. Obviously I still have s-off and still it hangs on the HTC logo when I try to boot. What can I do with it next?
Oh and I forgot to mention one part. After I realized that I can't update sense 3.0 and Android 2.3.5 (phone showed me an exclamation mark with android icon), I used RUU to revert my phone to 1.28. Then used phone to apply a system update 1.47. Then used system update to apply the newest sense 3.0 update and I didn't recieve the warning sign. It showed the progress bar of the install and then while booting stalled at the HTC logo. Since then I can't boot up the system.
And for additional info my HBOOT version is 6.98.1002 and RADIO is 3822.10.08.04_M
If u can use recovery why not flash some other rim?

ItKs my friends phone and ever Rom I put on he has issues with. I can't blame the roms but I think the phone is defected. His phone just restarts often while he's using the phone but it's a leak so it won't be perfect. I've been flashing roms since I had a Samsung Moment and I've had perfect roms and roms with issues but I always find a perfect won. If I owned the phone I'm sure I could easily find a stable rom. I would like to keep it S-OFF but with a stock rom, I wish I owned an HTC phone so these Ruu's and things made sense to me.

I'm S-OFF and SuperCID 11111111. When I try to get in Recovery mode - I get a HTC image (looks like a phone and a red cross)!
It's not possible to get in to the EXT menu where I'm used to press "Install from .zip file".
I can se my HBOOT is 1.23.... any ideas?
I have tried the PG58IMG thingy - but after update the phone keeps rebooting. So I had to delete the PM58IMG file from the SD card in order to get into FASTBOOT recovery to flash the Stock RUU again!

Hi,
I'm a bit nervous about posting this, as I know I've asked the question before in a different thread, however I feel it's being lost in the excitement of everyone updating to 4.0, and rightly so...
But I I need a bit of help.
Today, when ICS became available, I downloaded it; naturally, and it downloaded fine... however when it came to install it; I'm hitting a brick wall.
It displays the phone shutting down, and then boots into the installation screen; (the one with the black screen, phone and the green arrows; and the progress bar etc) however when the progress bar fills about a third of the way, a red question mark appears where the green arrows were and it boots back into gingerbread.
I've carried out a factory reset on the phone, but it hasn't made a difference.
It's absolutely frustrating the hell out of me; and I've trawled this and other forums, but haven't found a resolution.
I'm S-OFF, via revolution, and have stock recovery.
My CID is HTC__001 and HBOOT is 1.17.1111
I've added a screenshot of the SW info.
Is there any way I could get a bit of help with this please???
I will try to return the favour, somehow.
Thanks in advance, folks
Anyone at all?

I would say its the Revolutionary S-OFF that won't works well with OTA updates.
So first remove the S-Off and then try again.

I flashed the original stock recovery; the HBOOT is 1.17.1111; I thought this was the original... is it not?
I Would recommend flashing your stock ruu first then update OTA ICs afterwards. In that way you'll have stock hboot, recovery and rom. Don't worry about your s-off. Flashing stock ruu won't turn it to s-on. You'll lose root though.

Here's a pic.

After researching the bjaysus out of this; would I be right in saying that HBOOT 1.17.1111 (the one I have) is in fact, revolutions firmware, and 1.27.0000 is the stock version, and the reason why my update is ballsing up?? And if so, is there anyone able to help me change it back? I will buy pints for ya!

well, again, did you load stock RUU and then update? why don't you directly flash ICS RUU? painless!

Hi,
On my sensation XE that I have got onto s-off I haven't fully rooted it I don't think but its on s-off now and I have superuser access, I am living the the UK and ICS was recently released here so I downloaded it but as I went to install it It all went okay and 4EXT was saying it updated successfully but as my Phone rebooted it hung at the HTC bootscreen, I tried it twice just incase it was an error but it didnt work the second time either and each time it won't turn off so I have to take the battery out and restore it to a backup I previously made and was just wandering what I can do as I would like the ICS update.
I advise NOT to update it. It is a very bad effort by HTC as Wi-Fi does not work anyomre (at least in most of Middle East) I've talked to HTC support and they replied with the usual (We are making a fix for [problem here] as quick as possible) clause....... ****heads.
All you need to do is restarting into bootloader, enter recovery, choose option to choose a file from SD and from there, install manually. No need to S-On.
Hello,
I'm in a bit of a situation with my Desire S at the moment...
I was trying to restore the original RUU onto it after rooting it, however after several things, my phone will no longer boot up into the OS, and the HTC logo stays around.
My phone is currently S-ON, HBOOT-0.98.0002, RADIO-3805.06.02.03_M
I've tried to S-OFF it again using the revolutionary tool whilst having it in fastboot mode, with no luck .
Any help and suggestions will be appreciated

I've tried using a gold card, with my phone S-OFF at the time, and used the correct RUU file I needed (RUU_Saga_TMO_UK_1.30.110.2...) but it would get 15 minuits into the installation and complain about the bootloader version being incorrect. This was when I had verion 1.47.110... installed and I couldn't find that version of the RUU anyway.
Fast-forwarding to yesterday, I found an RUU with Android 2.3.5 on it (RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.5), and this installed perfectly. Despite it being the world-wide-english version instead of UK only, it works and I'm settling with it.
Hello guys,
I got this annoying issue and it drives me insane
Here's the deal:
I have a Sensation XE for 2 years now and i use it as a spare phone, rooted/super-cid/S-OFF from day one and installed many different roms past 2 years.
My girlfriend needed a new phone and i just had a kitkat rom installed but it was still full of bugs so i thought......
Let's install a official RUU and get this sucker back to stock so my girl can use this phone for a while :good:
Here all went wrong
I downloaded the latest RUU (europe version) and relocked the bootloader.
I succesfully installed the RUU and rebooted the device.....i see the Htc bootlogo.....and that is it......after an half hour still the same
Did a reset in the bootloader, no effect...
Ok let's take another RUU and try again, this time i had to put the phone in RUU mode thru ADB, no problem....installed an earlier original ICS RUU succesfully.......rebooted and yeahhhhhh......STUCK AT BOOTLOGO AGAIN!!
Anyone any clue what goes wrong??
Now i'm @ Hboot 1.17 (after RUU) and S-OFF (doesn't matter right?)
