Need help with getting back on stock ROM

Hello guys,
Recently I bought HTC Desire S and the ROM on it is Cyanogenmod 7.2.
Now I am trying to install on official version of android 4.0.3. I downloaded the RUU from htcdev.com
RUU_SAGA_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_14.01.401.2_Radio_20.76.30.0835_3831.19.00.110_release_275068_signed
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I plug the phone in PC and start the RUU, click few next buttons... till i get to the window to the Current information about your androud phone:
It says I got a ROM verson 2.10.401.4 and it needs to be updated to 14.01.401.2 (check picture 1)
After I click the next button and the wizard starts to update my phone. (check picture 2)
After one minute of that updating process I get the following error: (check picture 3)
ERROR [155]: Unknown Error
The only thing i can do is click recovery which doesn't help at all ....
Information about bootloader:
*** UNLOCKED ***
SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.02.0002
RADIO-3831.19.00.110
eMMC-boot
Recovery is 4EXT Recovery 2.2.7 RC5
So my question is what am I doing wrong, and how can I install official version of android on my phone.
Tnx for answers,

You want STOCK rom or is it just Sense 3.6 that interests you ?
If it's just for Sense 3.6, there are few customs roms all around here. but you're S-ON so you'll need to flash boot.img independently via adb..
Instead if you want a completly stock rom you can check this thread.

Ok, I relocked the bootloader now I am in updating process. I will tell you what will happend
Till now everything looks okay

Great, if update began then you shouldn't have any prob

[Q] E/WifiStateMachine - Failed to load driver!

Hi,
I have some problem with my desire s, hope someone can help me. I couldn't start any of the 4.2.2 roms (stuck at boot screen), so I tought that I have a hitachi panel. Unfortunately I didn't checked then, now I know that my desire s have a sony panel. Anyway, I have uploaded the mddi kernel after flashing a rom and it didn't helped. Then I was fed up with seeing roms trying to boot up so I decided to get back to a 4.0 rom or something.
This went well, I can boot up all of them but I don't have wifi at all! Logcat says the following when I try to enable wifi:
E/WifiStateMachine( 1614): Failed to load driver!
E/WifiStateMachine( 1614): DriverFailedState
Is there anything I can do? What kernel should I upload? Refresh radio to which one? Original RUU-s don't work, they say error 155. Please help get my phone back to work! As previously I wanted to upload a 4.2 rom, this would be great to try one but right now it would be good enough to get it to work.

AW: [Q] E/WifiStateMachine - Failed to load driver!
Have you been flashing the boot.img from the Rom every time after flashing a new Rom?

When attempting to flash RUU you must first relock bootloader,
Command (in fastboot )
fastboot oem lock
when done with RUU, in order to flash custom rom- you must unlock bootloader,
( you may use that same unlock_token you've used for unlocking the first time )
When you wish to use sense rom:
I recommend using kernel from amidabuddha

OMFG. This was it. Wifi problem has been solved by just flashing boot.img from the rom. Thank you. Should I take a try with jb roms?

[Q] Currently using a 3.4 kernel with my S-ON device with no problems?

title says most of it, my current bootloader screen shows:

TWRP 2.3.1.0
i rooted using the x-factor xploit maybe a week after it was released and haven't done any updates since as I have never run into any problems with that set up.
i've been using the CarbonROM nightly from 6/17 since the day it was released and haven't had any problems with it. here's a screenshot of the phone info which shows I am using the 3.4 kernel
View attachment 2106946
if i'm not having problems, would i be able to try out other 3.4 kernel roms? i've been avoiding taking a day to sit down and learn about adb/sdk and hope to achieve s-off as I have never used it/installed it. i read some noob guides earlier today and none of the links were working. any guides with working links? have I just been lucky?

[Q] Advice on flashing AOSP Rom

Hi, its been almost a year since I flashed a ROM on my device, I'm currently on a Sense 5 ROM, ViperXL 4.2.0 to be exact, and its worked perfect and great and I saw no reason to switch to anything else. After a year though my phones been getting kinda laggy, and I mysteriously have very little Internal Storage, even after deleting almost every single app, I only get about 500mb to 800mb of free Internal Storage to install apps. So I'm looking to try flashing a new rom and starting fresh but I have forgotten alot of my knowledge on flashing and was seeking some help.
I want to try flashing the latest stable Cyanogenmod Build 10.2.1
I have a few questions before I do though,
1. Is it still necessary to downgrade the touchpanel firmware?
2. What version of TWRP do I need? I'm currently on v2.3.3.0 but after doing research, I found out there's new versions. Do I need 2.6.3.0 or 2.7.0.0?
3. Do I need to RUU or am I already good to go?
4. Can I flash the 4.4 Gapps or do I need to flash another version?
Here is my bootloader info:

1) You don't need to downgrade your ts firmware.
2) You can use either of those versions you mentioned, some people have had issues with 2.7 not being able to mount the sd card though.
3) No need to RUU, your current firmware is fine.
4) You need to flash the appropriate gapps for whatever Android version the ROM is, you would only flash the 4.4 gapps if you're flashing a 4.4 ROM.
Is there any reason you're not flashing a KitKat ROM though? Support has ended for the lower Android versions now.

Thank you! The only reason I don't want to use a Kitkat rom is because of stability, most I have seen are in beta or have known problems, I'm planning on using this as my daily driver and don't want to come across any issues.

If you're looking for stability, I flashed CM11 and ran it for a day or two, the only reason I flashed something else was a lack of features. I had no issues in the time I ran it.

Sprint A9 Soft Bricked / No OS / Can't Flash

I've had a HTC One A9 (Sprint) for a week or so now, which belongs to my partner, carrier is unlocked, in the bootloader it was initially Locked, with S-On, since then it has been Unlocked and now Relocked.
She was paranoid about security and wanted me to try updating to the newest version, I naively attempted to do so with little knowledge and ended up soft-bricking the phone.
Its now stuck in a boot-loop and has no recovery.
I've spent an entire day trying to fix this myself, tried flashing various RUUs and everything error'd out or gave me signature errors, I basically can't seem to flash anything at all.
What should I be doing? I'm a little overwhelmed.
Kindly asking for some support from some more knowledgeable peeps, if you need any more info other than below, let me know, thanks

Have you tried the 1.57.651.1 RUU for Sprint?
Link: http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_HIA_AERO_WHL_M60_SENSE7GP_SPCS_MR_Sprint_WWE_1.57.651.1_R2.exe
Also, make sure you're in the proper mode. There's download and there's fastboot. You need a black background to use the RUU

Thanks so much John, all fixed!
