Apologies in advance as I know there are many similar threads on here but I've read so much I'm just getting confused! Here goes...
Yesterday I tried to install the official version of ICS onto my Desire S. I followed all of the steps and the computer said the software had been successfully installed. Since then my phone will not boot past the HTC logo screen. I can get into the hboot screen by booting with power on + volume down and my computer recognises the phone when i plug it in in fastboot. It won't go into recovery mode and a factory reset doesn't work. I have tried re-installing the software but it makes no difference. I bought the phone second hand and it was already rooted so I don't have the programs that were used.
When booting in hboot the following info apppears:
-revolutionary-

HBOOT - 6.98.1002
RADIO - 3831.19.00.110
eMMC-boot

I have read that this version of hboot is not compatible and that I require an hboot upgrade but i'm not sure how to do this as I cannot access the sd folder of my phone and I don't have an external micro SD reader.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Even if means reverting back to gingerbread or using another ROM. I just want my phone to work again!

if your phone is detected in fastboot, the best bet you have is to install a custom recovery and then flash another ROM through it.
check this thread, you may find something to help you.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1186401
I would recommend the CM10 by nk111. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1776256&highlight=all+credit
Try the latest stable one. ie, the 30-Oct version.

Thanks very much for your help guys. I've managed to sort the problem. For everyone else out there with the same problem I'll tell you what I did....
The hboot version on my phone (6.98.1002) is not compatible with the official ICS software update.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1488672 - this thread shows how to update the hboot when stuck in bootloop.
I then reinstalled the ICS ruu onto my phone and it is now working fine although it is no longer rooted.
Could someone please tell me the best way to root my phone again. In the bootloader menu it still says revolutionary s-off but i cannot access ROM manager or titanium backup. Do I need to fully root it again?
Since you installed the official RUU, your root is probably gone.. You will have to fully root the phone again to get root access.
You could try flashing a custom recovery in fastboot, and then flashing SuperSu or superuser from recovery.

This. As long as you're S-OFF, rooting is just a matter of flashing custom recovery (using fastboot), and flashing SuperSU ZIP in recovery. The first step is covered in so many tutorials that any search will lead you right to it.
Sorry for late response but thank you all who helped me. My phone is now fully functional and I couldn't have done it without you guys. Much appreciated!

Rather then go back wards why not go forwards?
Be careful not to quickly take out and replace your battery
Look at the INDEX sticky thread in the development Section http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1146601, there you should find
1) EXT4 recovery
2) pre rooted stock roms, use the latest version
(RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.47.401.4_Radio_20.28I.30.085 AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199410_signed_prerooted)
Download both to you PC then copy to your sd card.
Boot into recovery and first flash EXT4 zip file to install the new recovery
Then from recovery wipe cache, dalvik cache, data and system.
Then flash the ROM zip file and hopefully this should solve your problem
First boot will take longer than usual
I'm also curious as to why your bootloader screen days "meadow" I've never seen that before.

You need to follow the guides shown in this thread.
Look for this "How To: S-Off your device with Revolutionary: S-OFF & Recovery Tool" part of the guide.
Good luck....update this thread if you have any issues or problems....but first there is a lot of software that you'll need to download and some reading to do.

OK if i understand it right i wil do like this.
S-OFF your phone using Windows:
1. Download Revolutionary tool for Windows from http://revolutionary.io/ (Keep the browser open)
2. Extract the zip file to a new folder.
3. Connect phone to your computer and make sure that Debugging Mode is enabled on your phone.
4. Open the new folder and right click on "revolutionary.exe" and select run as administrator.
5. Follow steps from Step 11 above.
11. It'll provide a key. Go back to the browser window where you downloaded Revolutionary tool - there's a form to fill out. Type in the key. It'll generate a second key. Type that key into the Terminal.
12. Make sure it says that everything is successful. It'll ask if you want to flash Clockwork. Type in "Y".
13. Once it shows success, reboot phone.
And root it hwit Gingerbreak right ?
Now you have CWM, so you don't have to use Gingerbreak, just flash su (http://goo-inside.me/superuser/su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip) from recovery. You may also want to flash 4EXT recovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130004) that will replace the one installed by Revolutionary.

CWM = Clock Work Mod, which is the type of Custom RECOVERY that we all use that enables us to flash custom ROMS etc, I'd recommend that you upgrade to the the EXT4 RECOVERY which is based on CWM but is more user friendly and constantly being improved.

Check for super user, simply download ROM Manager (free) from android market and that will tell you.
A Backup (or a Nandroid backup or as you'll here it referred to) can be taken two ways:
1) from ROM Manager - easiest option (as it then boots device into recovery, backs up phone and then reboots again)
2) from recovery (EXT4) you need to take manually Backup option (although is good to know how to do this way)
Using both methods the backups will be stored on your SD card in clockworkmod/backup directory within date&time stamped folders

The RUU.exe needs to be executed on a PC and then you will find the ROM.zip file in the %TEMP directory structure. This ROM.zip file is the one you copy to you SD card and rename as PG88IMG.zip.
You can't simply rename the RUU.exe file to PG88IMG.zip.

So did that work for you? If so please edit your title from [Q] to [SOLVED] to help inform others.
I think I had the same problem, but it's now solved with a little luck and studying the xda foorums. My situation was pretty complex, unbranded UK model didn't update so I rooted it with Revolutionary and installed Cyanogenmod 7.1. I didn't like it, so I restored original backup through ROM Manager. I was happy with the stock 2.3.3, until I realized that 2.3.5 is out. After factory reset the OTA update kicked in. At that time I didn't know that Hboot is still Revolutionary and S-off. No root, however. So the update failed.
Yesterday I decided that I want the 2.3.5 and downloaded stock RUU update and installed it. It was the same 1.28.401 version I was running. Installation via PC went fine, then came OTA updates (three of them). First two went fine, but the third update hanged on yellow exclamation mark. After removing the battery phone hang on white HTC screen. I was able to access the boot manager, but nothing else.
Next step was to restore original Hboot. It was tricky, fastboot found the device but installation failed with image error! (Platform check fail). Adb didn't even find the phone. I assume that eMMC was corrupted at this point. I was not able to access Recovery to fix it. Then I found recovery.img and was able to install it from SD-card. I booted recovery, formatted all partitions (cache, system etc.), reset battery data. Next I tried fastboot flash hboot engHBOOToverARX.img again and it worked! Goodbye Revolutionary
Then I just loaded the stock (RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.8) ROM on SD card (renamed ROM.zip to PG88IMG.zip as always), installed it from Hboot and everything was fine. Hboot is locked and S-on. Running the latest 2.10.401.8 software with Android 2.3.5 and Sense 3.0.
All the needed information is on this forum. I cannot thank you enough for bringing my brick back to life!
Hi Daatta, I have the same problem as you did. It won't load update.zip or PG88IMG.zip ...I've tried everything (sort of)
What do you mean exactly "Then I found recovery.img and was able to install it from SD-card. " How did you do that?
How can I make the phone read from the sd card?
Thanks!

With the latest Sense 3.0 RUU, the ROM requires that the corresponding HBOOT 2.00.0002 get flashed too in order to boot properly. Since you have S-OFF via Revolutionary, the Revolutionary HBOOT 6.98.1002 is preventing the RUU from overwriting the it, therefore you have ended up with a ROM / HBOOT mismatch and that is why the ROM hangs at the HTC screen.
IMO you would be better off sticking with custom ROMs that have implemented Sense 3.0/3.5 and keeping S-OFF.
From this point you probably need to reinstall ClockworkMod recovery from FASTBOOT mode and then you can restore you nandroid backup (you did make a backup before you attempted this, right?) to get back to CM 7
I did make a backup. But right now, when I choose recovery I can only goes to the stocked recovery. My CWM recovery is lost after the flashing. And when I navigate through the stocked recovery, I can't find a way to restore my last ROM.

So today i rooted my sensation and everything was running perfectly until i downloaded a rom on rom manager. When the rom finished (miui) i clicked on it and a pre-installation window came up. It gave me 3 options, back up existing rom, wipe data and cache and wipe dalvik and all i checked was wiped dalvik. Now when the when it boots up it just shows me a white screen with the htc logo on it then turns black and repeats again. Please i need help urgently!!!!!

You needed to supercid first. Now run ics ruu which will wipe all ur partitions any will install stock Rom and recovery. Then supecid first. When you install any different Rom always superwipe.

how would i be able to supercid if i cant even get to my home screen?
1. Remove your sdcard (because you have a PG58IMG on it and I don't know which one).
2. Boot into bootloader and connect with adb and enter the following:
Code:
adb devices
[COLOR="Red"]make sure your device is detected[/COLOR]
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
[COLOR="red"]wait for it to write[/COLOR]
fastboot reboot-bootloader
[COLOR="red"]wait to reboot into bootloader[/COLOR]
fastboot getvar cid
[COLOR="red"]confirm it reads "11111111"[/COLOR]
(now power off your device)
3. Now using a card reader on your computer, delete your current PG58IMG (because I don't know what you have on there).
Download the 3.32 firmware from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618
Download the superwipe***.zip from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849
Place them on the root of your sdcard and put the card back into your phone.
4. Now boot into bootloader (power/volume down) and wait for it to detect the firmware. (volume up to accept) wait for it to flash and then press power to reboot when it prompts.
5. Power off, remove sdcard and delete your PG58IMG on computer, re-insert and boot into bootloader and select recovery.
Select and flash the superwipe***.zip
Select and flash your MIUI ROM
***NOW REBOOT INTO YOUR NEW MIUI***
not sure posted with phone here is link

Ok thanks for all your help i have done the supercid and now it has no more boot loop but there is another problem. I have s-off and revolutionary but when i do a root check on Root check basic i says sorry this device does not have proper root access. I was wondering why i do not have root access. thanks
If you are installing a custom ROM, such as ARHD, you are automatically rooted.
Why not do this?
Rom go on past step 5 on my post and flash a new Rom after update your not rooted just s-on

If you have Sensation XE Go and download this one PG58IMG.zip, it will install Stock GB rom for you http://vi8.info/HTC-Sensation/Sensation-XE/ , in case that you have ordinary sensation, download 04.RUU-Pyramid-HTC-Europe-1.50.401.1-Radio-10.56.9035.00U-10.14.9035.01-M-release-223042-signed.exe from http://vi8.info/HTC-Sensation/.
Procedures for PG58IMG:
1UT the file on your sd card
2. Press volume down and power (together)
3.follow the instruction on screen
Procedures for RUU
1. Start the .RUU-Pyramid-HTC-Europe-1.50.401.1 on PC
2.Turn on your phone with volume down and power to enter in bootloader
3.Follow the instruction on PC screen
4. When asked connect your phone to PC
Hope it help
Dublinz I think he can't run RUU of lower hboot as he is son... AFAIK he can only run ics RUU

Hi
I have tried looking around this forum for a way to install CWM recovery on a HTC Sensation unlocked S on I am getting more confused and have quite a pile of zip files been trying this for 2 days now
Clockwork rom manager throws a message saying must root phone superuser not found at "/system/bin su or xbin/su I have super user installed
I have tried fastboot flash recovery recovery.img cant find the file or no such file (i pointed to the correct folder) Using Android SDK (not sure if it is installed correctly but had the required files in the folder with the unlock. bin
Tried HTC One X All-In-One Toolkit it said done but S is still on
Any Help very much appreciated and sorry if I have not done the obvious
Thanks

with all in one tool kit you won't bring S-OFF
from this thread try to flash this recovery.it is better than cwm
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861 (only step 2)
I used HTC One X toolkit, but it wouldn't S-Off as I had hboot 1.29.0000, therefore couldn't use revolutionary method. In this instance you can s-off using a paperclip, some insulating tape, and running the ControlBear software. To find out how to do this, type the following into YouTube:
JuopunutBear S-Off HTC Sensation.
... That will show you how to achieve S-Off which will unprotected the nand storage to write enabled so you can flash a new ROM.
See JuopunutBear website for instructions. You can find it by typing:
unlimited.io
... Into google.
or you can use the guide from our forum in dev section

because you are S-ON when flashing a rom it doesn't write the boot partition by itself
the only thing you have to do is enable smartflash from 4ext recovery and after flash the rom
or
you can follow extra 1 step in the link i provided you in my first post

Done the wire trick, got it after a few attempts recovery screen now says
revolutionary
Pyramid pvt ship s off RL
Hboot 1.27.1100
Radio 11 24a 3504 31 H
now asking for update I ok that phone eventually boots up then says unexpected UI error and screen goes blank. I cant get anything transferred to the phone as the pc isnt seeing it
Is there anyway to get a recovery on the phone so I can load a rom.
Juopunutbear backed up my images but have no idea how to get them back. Before the wire clip trick the phone had Super-Threading-Rom-v1.2.1 4ext recovery it seemed better than my old clockwork recovery
If this isnt bricked what rom would you suggest and how do i flash it
Thanks
