HELP! Stuck at HTC White SCREEN

i was using ARHD 6.7.2 XE with yank kernel was working fine till i decided to flash darkforest rom. i superwipe my phone and install it using aroma with bricked kernel and now im stuck at htc screen

re-flash the ROM again ..this time use wipe from 4EXT (wipe|format -> format all partitions except sdcard)

maybe you have to flash the boot.img manually
if you have 4ext recovery enable smartflash and then flash the rom again(if you are S-ON?)
or flash the boot.img following extra1 from this guide

[q] pls help!!!! Bricked phone

I used a HTC desire s... HTCdev bootloader unlocked s-on and rooted ...
This morning, was checking google play when i found a FONT INSTALLER app. i decided to try it. After installation, i opened it to use a font on their server, i backed up the stock font. after applying the font, my phone freezed up so i decided to restart maybe dat would fix it.
I rebooted and my fone got stucked at the "HTC quietly brilliant" bootscreen... i tried doing factory reset. I loaded bootloader then selected factory reset. i was directed to 4ext. I didnt get the reset cos it keeps stucking up at the same screen. So i decided to wipe.. I selected the "WIPE ALL PARTITION XCEPT SD CARD" :'(
...
Now my Phone doesnt boot up. After the first "HTC (without the quietly brilliant)" shows up... the screen goes dark till....
....
Pls i need help on how to put my phone back on.
GURUs in the house PLEASSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Funny problem you have
What it shall boot? You have wiped everything from it, so there are no files.
I guees you have not make a Nandroid backup, so copy some ROM to your SDcard and flash it from 4EXT.
DO NOT forget to flash the boot.img afterwards

Tanks for your reply..
But pls can u make it clearer. I don have any backup... The only backup i have are my apps, non for the system files.
I can also get the RUU ICS ROM i downloaded from HTCdev. Can i do something with this? Thanks,

If you was on ICS go here and skip right to B) section.
If you was on GB go here and pick the version you was before. As if you was on Sense 2.1 you would flash RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.47.401.4_signed_prerooted. If you was on Sense 3.0 then your pick will be HTC_Europe_2.10.401.8_deodexed_prerooted
Or just flash a custom ROM, there is plenty of choise. I would recommend Desire XS

Well Allah has nothing to do with my nickname, but thank you anyway since I believe all religions worship the same God.
And it is not booting because you have missed an important step:

Copy the ROM from your Sdcard to the PC. Open it and extract the boot.img that you will find inside. Then flash it with a command from your PC (you can search the forum how exactly).
And if still does not boot then you will be one of the lucky guys with the Hitachi panel so you will have to try a Sense ROM. Download, flash through the recovery, flash the boot.img as described above

Congratulations
I am using it for some time now I had no bugs, reboots. You can read the feedback of the users in the ROM's thread and then decide.
Just remember: when you are S-ON you have to flash the boot.img separately from fastboot for ANY new ROM that you are installing!

It would not because you have to lock the bootloader first. Better go back to post #4 and read the first line again. It will save you the trouble to unlock and flash a recovery again.

extract the boot.img from the rom.zip
place it in adb and fastboot folder on your pc
boot your device to the bootloader and connect it to the pc(in the hboot screen should say fastboot usb)
in your adb/fastboot folder open a command window and type the command
fastboot flash boot boot.img
note: use the boot.img of your current rom

STOP SHOUTING! and read the post above, that is the solution, everyone who's still s-on needs to do that, it's well documented in this forum. Search, read. If that's too much for you, you shouldn't have messed with your phone in the first place.

Hi guys,
I'm experiencing the same issue with cm-11-20140614-UNOFFICIAL-saga from devil-kin. Even after I manually flash the boot.img file (fastboot flash boot boot.img) the phone just resets back into recovery, which I do find strange. Using the latest 4EXT recovery and latest version of Hboot.

1) I used Fallout v5.0 and it's working just fine
2) My panel is made by Sony

And you formatted all partitions (except sd card) before installing? Also what version of 4ext do you have exactly?
Edit: fallout is ics (Android 4.0), not jb (Android 4.1-4.3) or kk (Android 4.4)

1) Formatted everything possible except the SD card, before flashing the CM11 ROM
2) 4EXT v2.2.7_RC5 (I tried the latest RC Touch version but no luck there)
3) Hboot 7.00.1002 | Reengineered 2.00.002
Let me know if you need more info to help me out here, because I'm really out of options at this point and I'm stuck with Fallout. Not that it's bad but I found some stuff from the HTC part that drive me crazy + a lot of BGround activities so I had to disable some of the apps.

I do not know how to work with the Touch version, as it's something that is working while you have a working Android, but when I flash a new one and then the new boot how should I do this?
Is there a guide on how to? (using the touch version of 4EXT)

Latest 4ext recovery and twrp have support for selinux which is needed for flashing KK, and they are both touch. Try on youtube to find some tutorial.

Sorry but it still want's to restart into the old recovery and then proceed with the new flash of the ROM. I'm out of guesses on how to use this app. Without a guide I'm lost.
I now saw that I got an Error | status7 Installation aborted. - what could that be?

Status 7 error is due to the recovery being too old.

please

Could some one make a quick guide on the steps that we need to make in order to install a ROM with the touch version of 4EXT? I know that for some of you guys this will be like.. a small thing to do, but having something to follow and knowing which option to choose is very helpful and will help a lot of people.

To make nandroid backup
1) boot recovery
2) backup/restore
3) backup (select it to backup)
Thats u done.
To flash a rom
1) wipe/format
2) format all partitions except sdcard
(Once thats done go back to main menu)
3) install from sdcard
4) choose zip from sdcard
5) select ur rom to install it
(if rom requires u to flash gapps then do it straight after u flash the rom)
6) reboot
(if ur s-on then ul need to boot straight into fastboot after u flash the rom and flash the boot.img)
Hope that helps ya. Simples really.
