Error after Alpharevx and original RUU

I have a problem and hope you can help me.
I've made ​​my device via AlpharevX S-Off. Then I flashed a custom ROM. But I had previously made ​​a backup of my old original ROM by CLokworkMod.
But by then I played an original RUU ROM about the CUSTOM ROM. Now appears only the HTC characters on a white background and I'm just still in the boot loader.
But I'm not even in the recovery menu.
Can you help me?

Is it possible to start S-off with AlpharevX when the phone does not start, but in the bootloader or fastboot?

Can I suggest that you Post this problem into One of the existing akpharevx threads as that way one of the original developers might assist you

Did you remember to wipe before you "played" the original? If you can get into recovery, wipe everything and do a fresh flash. If you cant get into recovery you will need to RUU.

I didn't wipe before i flash the original RUU...and i can not get into recovery mode.
How can i RUU without starting the telephone?

Put your RUU on your Windows desktop. Type %temp% and run. In the files that pop up look for Rom.zip, rename it PB99IMG.zip put it in the root of your gold SD card if it needs to be a gold card, and boot your phone into hboot. When asked to update press y.

I tried it but the mobile freezes after seleting yes. Furthermore it says "hboot can not roll back"...

ask the alpharev guys what to do. they set the hboot version very high to prevent accidental overwriting. unfortunatley they seem to forget to release a downgrate hboot so the whole thing would be reversible. until they do, you a bit in a puddle.

Or try a pre-rooted RUU. This will not try and over write Hboot.

how can i get a pre rooted ruu?

Your best bet is to look on XDA in the Dev's section. I can't look for you as it depends on you version number, carrier etc.

And how to install this ruu?

Put it into your sd card, mount your phone as disk drive, locate the file in your sd by computer .. then double click install it.
Make sure you got the driver, how? install htc sync for the driver.

Seems to sum up where you are at currently.....so do whats been advised in the posts above (perhaps post both of these latest posts into the other AlphaRevx threads) and wait for the AlpharevX team to respond. I believe that they are meant to be working on a way to reverse the AlpharevX process, so should be able to help or at least inform you of your options.
I'm not condoning multiple posting, but, as the desire S was one of the last devices to achieve success you may have more success contacting them by posting in the existing Incredible S AlphaRevX thread - which see's far more activity.

Please help!!

Today i bought an HTC Sensation i tried to get s-off which i thought i succeeded in and i got root, after that i just installed Firmware from 3.12.401.2/102 RUU straight from stock recovery. Now i have bootloops... The android version i had from the start was RUU​_Pyramid​_HTC​_Europe​_1.35​.401​.1_ please help me get my phone working, as i have no clue on what the hell i wrong?

you have to flash a rom compatible with that fw! but i suggest you to update fw to 3.24 and then flash the rom...
however this is not the right place to ask this

you flashed a firmware that was ICS compatible and you still had a GB rom on your device therefor putting you into bootloops. You need to flash firmware 1.17 from Here and be more carefull and follow the guide

There are other links on there for other providers. Who is your service provider?

THANK YOU!

You said you ran the RUU from recovery...do you mean you ran it through bootloader? First that PGIMG you need to remove that from your SD card after you install and before you reboot your device or it will loop forever.

i have it working.. thank you all please delete this thread moderators

Yea i have cwm and s off, so where can i find the CID on my phone then since i can only acess the bootloader ?!

Boot bootloader, connect device to PC, use admin cmd prompt and "fastboot getvar cid"
If you get HTC_xxx then either check the firmware supports that, or follow guide for superCID as suggested above.

No one is going to say it?? Hey N00B!! you're in the wrong ****ing FORUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This noob doesn't even know how to check for his CID number. He shouldn't even be flashing ROMS, especially since he can't even read that this is the developer forums, so he can't read the directions on how to read a flash a rom.

Exactly what is wrong with you? You've posted almost exactly the same thing to the guy who posted in the dev forum about battery stats. Yes, he's a noob, we get it. And yes, it is annoying to see the same questions being posted over and over again because people can't read. And yes, I agree that no one in their right minds should be thinking about messing around with ROMs and firmwares unless they know exactly what they are doing.
But seriously. Grow up. Unless you're telling me you were born out of your mother's womb with all this awesome tech knowledge in your head. If that's truly the case then, please, educate us ignorant mortals.
Now, to the OP: have you read this thread? If you haven't, please go read it properly. I have no idea what on earth you did, you need to give us a step-by-step list of the things you did. I suspect that all you need to do is delete PG58IMG.zip from your SD card and flash a ROM.

Calm down and learn how to properly communicate with people.
Anyway, OP, I shall now describe what you must do:
1. Go to >this< guide and follow step 4 (STEP 4. WRITE SUPER CID [YOU ONLY NEED TO DO THIS ONCE]).
2. Download >this< ROM and put it on your SD card.
3. Boot into the bootloader (when the phone is off, press vol. down + power) and select the recovery option.
4. In the recovery go to 'wipe | format' and select 'format all partitions'.
5. When that process is done, go to 'install from SD card', 'choose zip from SD card', go to the folder where the ROM is located and install it.
6. When the ROM is installed reboot your phone and wait until it has booted.
EDIT: hunter890 just posted a link to a guide, but you can also follow what I wrote. Might be easier for you.

tnx for replay and try to help me ..

That's very very very wrong. What you should do is just what I described on the previous page. The reason the ROM wouldn't boot was because you flashed the old Gingerbread version of ARHD which won't boot on HBOOT 1.27.
And I still don't understand why you want the untouched ICS from HTC. The versions here on the forum (as example ARHD I linked you to) are better optimized, have no bloatware etc.

ARHD is cooked out of the OTA package, so it contains the same languages and I'm sure you can use the same services.

Hi, deltateam
I just finished S-OFF-ing my Desire S, HBOOT 2.00.0002. It took me 3 days for all the reading, searching, trying and failing, etc. So I think this might be of use for you.
The link for ENG HBOOT in the method you're linking to in the first post, is outdated. So here's what I have done:
I used this method. But here is some additional info.
After completing step 8 I found that I can't root it with SuperOneClick, so I S-OFFed it with Revolutionary first. After doing this you should have a S-OFFed device with HBOOT 0.98.0000 (or 0002, depending on which RUU you chose to downgrade to).
You can now successfully root it with SuperOneClick. Do NOT restart your phone. Restarting it in Recovery is not needed.
The next step links to the same method you linked to in the first post but as I said, the link there is outdated. So I found this post. It's basically the same thing but it has ENG HBOOT attached to it and it's the same as the one from zumodrive - I compared the md5sums. :cyclops:
After completing step 10 and restarting to bootloader you should now see that you have S-OFFed ENG HBOOT 2.00.002. You may want to flash the recovery again as (most likely) Revolutionary flashed its own recovery.
Also, you can still boot the old ROM, which you used for the HBOOT downgrade but of course you should flash new ROM soon. You may also update the RADIO to more recent one as the old RUU downgraded it and the Fallout ROM doesn't have a radio included.
Good luck with the ROM and I hope this helped

Sorry for the misunderstanding. Yes, this is what I meant - an official RUU Rom will change the RADIO but if you update it after that and flash a new custom Rom, it will stay unaffected (i.e. "updated").

ok one question, i unlocked my desire s on htcdev site, i instal clockwork mod recovery and rooted with super user, i install fallout, but on the screen stay black boot scren htc desire htd, and system not but, i try with sabsa rom, and ice ds and roms not boot, bootloder is unlocked s-on and rooted, where i am wrong???

Yes from the zip. U will have to do this every time u flash a rom, all htcdev unlock has to do this process.
