i flashed the kernel without knowing what it was, and since then nothing works. i didnt make a backup or anything. i know real stupid what i did but pls help me
S-ON, and the phone is not rooted.

To my knowledge if you are still s-on you need to flash your boot.img every boot. I'm assuming you have a custom recovery right? If so just follow the steps to installing a custom rom and it might fixed it. If this works get 4ext and flash the rom using its "smart flash" function (that what I think it is called) this way you no longer need to flash the boot.img every boot.
here is a link to a guide for flashing with htc dev unlock.

thank you soooo much flare4000. my phone is up and running again!

No problem, next time pay attention to what you are doing okay? And make sure you make a nandroid, when flashing a rom.

Please help
Alright so i am s-on but when i flashed the rom from ViperS 1.6.2 its now stuck on the htc logo i was trying to flash the bootimg from fast-boot but when i connected my phone to the computer the phone says fastboot usb but i tryed installing adb drivers or that thing to my computer because I got my phone from craigslist which is like ebay and it was already rooted and had a rom but my question is i installed the adb drivers and went to run it so i can manually install the bootimg in fastboot but it doesnt work for me because it says it cant find the path and now im stuck with a phone that can only go to boot-loader and 4ext and also i tried installing multiple roms using smart-flash on 4ext and it still doesnt work.I still cant figure it out please HELP. any help will be greatly appreciated.

format all partitions except sdcard from 4ext
enable smartflash
flash the rom
see if it works
about the boot.img:
place it in the folder where you have adb and fastboot files
open there a command window and do the command

Well I was confused because I thought SDK or adb was a program that you set for a individual device but I set the adbs already for my tf300t so I just used the same fast boot folder I used for my tf300t so I'm guessing all you have to do is look up how to install SDK or adb files for fast boot and install HTC drivers. That should solve your problem or if you did what I did about the tf300t thing then just plug in your device activate fast boot by going into your hboot. Then you open up your adb folder you placed in your c drive and hold shift right click open command there and then take the bootimg and paste it in your same adb folder directly and flash with command flash boot bootimg then it should boot up into your ROM and if you have anymore questions ask me. Also can someone correct me if I'm wrong on the bootimg command.

depending from your hboot version you have gb firmware
so any ics rom won't boot in your device
with your hboot version you have to follow revolutionary.io method to S-OFF
because only with S-OFF you can upgrade your firmware
see here
http://revolutionary.io/
and then for upgrading firmware see here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767 (here follow the instructions carefully and check md5 sums first before flashing)
after that you can flash any ics rom

Help - stuck, hopefully didn't brick my phone

Hi all,
I hope one of you masterminds is able to help me out.
I tried to root my sensation without s-off with hecdev.com (using One_X_All-In-One_Kit_v1.0) and then tried to install cm9 from one the links here via revcovery with CWM 5.8.0.9.
But then I was stuck with the loading animation...
I cannot run Android now, so I cannot flash a stock RUU.
I can enter bootloader, which seems to be unlocked, here's the info:
"Unlocked"

Jan 13 2012,17:33:34
I was on the latest official ROM (ICS, via OTA) before trying that.
I have not succeeded in flashing a ROM anymore.
Do I need to get S-Off first?
Or is HBOOT to new? Do I have to revert? How?
I tried older HBOOT, but it wouldn'T do anything after PArsing
Please help, any hint is appreciated =/

PS: I would be more than happy to have a stock rom again...as mentioned, cannot use a ruu.exe file, as it seems fastboot usb ist not recognizable by ruu.exe
Edit: After the 4th or 5th try, RUU recognized the phone when in fastboot usb mode, but update fdailed, cwm saif "security fail" ... sigh, seems I really blew it this time

Hi,
Start again using THIS GUIDE

Flash the boot.img from your ROM through fastboot.
Extra step 1 from this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25587345
Be sure to use the boot.img from your ROM.
Then make a clean install of the ROM again.
Also, read that thread for the sake of understanding what you're doing.
There is NO need yet to flash an RUU.

Latest OTA comes with hboot 1.29 which is locked.
You might not be in the latest one, perhaps start with an RUU with.the latest fw (3.33).

thanks malybru & kgs1992 - tried that, and the 4ext touch recoery said both superwipe and the rom installed correctly.
but when rebooting the white screen with the green htc logo appears right away and nothing more happens...any idea? I may have messed up the kernel before, but when asked by ext4 recovery whether to flash a kernel, tried both custom and stock, none changed the problem with booting up

@Raven2k: Manually installing boot.img with fastbok seemed to help, at least I come over the white screen, am stuck with the beatsaudio logo right now - thanks so far =)

Cant root or flash custom recovery

Ok so i needed to root after i updated to official ICS with the setup.
What i noticed i cant root with any known rooting method so i tried pushing root with recovery.
It turns out i have stock recovery and everytime i try installing zip it says signature verification failed.
So i found that i need flash custom recovery for that.
But i have found that flashing .img of recovery using CMD is not working.
So any ideas? I would really be thankfull i am trying for whole day and no succes.

You already asked the basic same question in this thread and Jack_R1 told you that you need to read and understand more. He is far more knowledgeable than I am, and I agree with him 100%
This has been answered countless times, so I am not going to ive you the answers again - go and search.
As pointers;-
1) Install ADB
2) Fastboot
3) Push Recovery
4) Flash Root
Now - go and read, understand and make sense of what, why and how.

I do read i do understand what to do, i read instructions, i fallow instructions but it just doesnt work for reasons usually and mostly not covered in the instructions...... So can you atleast try to help like for example give me link to set of instructions you know that works couse you used it or something similiar. Couse silencing me like saying go read is just not true, couse i am reasonably knowledgeble and i do read and usually do understand what i read it just doesnt work for some reason.
EXAMPLE:
one of methods to flash custom recovery i tried is this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1484753
Download the zip file attached and extract it anywhere .
Your phone needs to be in debugging mode and you need the lastest usb drivers instaled . ( HTC Sync )
Step 1 : Run Start Here.bat , a comand promt window will open.
Step 2 : Type in "adb reboot bootloader" . <This works on every rom , it will reboot in fastboot mod.>
Step 3 : After the phone rebooted in fastboot , type in "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.5-saga.img" .
Step 4 : You have your Touch Recovery flashed.
After doing so it just says:
unknown partition 'recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.5-saga.img'
error: cannot determine image filename for 'recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.5-saga.img'
SO you say i dont read but it just doesnt work for some reason.

OK ...
Firstly - don't use CWM. That isn't just my opinion, it is a general opinion round here the 4EXT is far superior, especially on the DS. Try this thread
Secondly, can you please confirm what hBoot you are running?
Thirdly, is the phone correctly booting into FastBoot mode?
Fourthly, did you install ADB correctly (I guess so)?

Maybe this problem is caused by a bootloader that is still locked ?!
(Can recovery be flashed if the bootloader is locked ? I am not sure, but don't think so.)
Did you unlock via www.htcdev.com ?

OK so i as soon as you started helping me (thanks by the way) i found a couse for my error while flashing custom recovery. And i was able to flash 4EXT as you suggested (it looks awesome (not to mention all cool features ))
Second thingy i need to sort out is how to get my phone rooted
So i now have working recovery and i need myself a zip file to push it using recovery so i gain root.
Tried it and failed so i installed Tweaked 7,1 kernel (kernels already had root when i was using SEx10)
now all my phone does on turning it on is going to 4ext recovery on boot.

OK. You're at first base with 4EXT Recovery. That is normally the worst bit.

On DS there is absolutely no way a kernel to give you root. None of the existing zip files (mine or any others in DS section). You have to flash SU and install busybox (there are apps in the Google Play) after that

2) This is the Desire S forum. The Desire HD forums are here.

[Q] Is my device bricked or what?

I know there are probably other threads that can help me but I'm really desperate here. I just got my Sensation 4G (T-Mobile) a few days ago and decided to root it and install a custom ROM. This is my first Android device so I followed a newb guide specifically for the Sensation 4G. However, I think I accidentally missed the step describing how to S-Off and I ended up trying to install Cyanogen Mod 9. It installed ok but I got stuck at the boot screen. From there, I tried restoring to a backup I made before installing Cyanogen but it didn't work. Now I'm stuck at the HTC logo. Can anyone help me out? Here are some more details about my device:

I think my firmware is 3.32 and the Android version was 4.0.3 although I guess there's nothing on it now.
EDIT: The latest guide I followed shows how to install/flash the stock ICS firmware but I couldn't update the firmware. It says "Parsing .zip" but doesn't go further than that.

I don't have 4ext recovery installed, only CWM. Is there a way to install it even though I can't boot into the phone?

Yeah, just have to flash another recovery (4ext) through fastboot.
If you look around the development section, you'd probably find a guide how to do it, if not PM me, and I'll give you the steps.

Have a look in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861 Asskicker's guide, how to flash roms with S-ON. If you don't want to flash the 4ext recovery (I highly recommend to install it!) then you can do Step "EXTRA 1" from that guide and install "boot.img" from the downloaded rom. You find it in the zip file, in the kernel folder. But read the guide, there are plenty of very useful info in it! And to answer your question, No! Your phone is not bricked!

I have a bunch of ROMS that I've tried and they're all on my desktop. Only two of them have a kernels folder, so I guess the other two are using a stock kernel and I can't use them, right? I'll try following that thread you linked me to, hopefully it'll work this time.
EDIT: It worked! Thank you so much! Now if I wanted to install Cyanogen Mod 9 for example, which doesn't have that kernels folder, I would need to S-OFF first right?

If you want to install ROM's without being S-OFF I'm pretty sure you need 4EXT.
And for future reference to all who may find this thread down the road, if you can get into your Recovery (any recovery) your phone is almost certainly not bricked. You may have a lot of fixing to do, but it's almost certainly fixable.
When the splash screen doesn't even come up after hitting the power button or the charing light doesn't come on when plugged in...that's when it's time to worry. (And even then you may have options)

I did the wire-trick to S-OFF my device. WHen I first did that, my only option in the bootloader was RUU and I was about to ask you about that but took my battery out first. Now it's back to normal and it shows S-OFF. However, my microSD card is now completely wiped. I have a backup on my computer, so should I just copy the files back on there and try another ROM so that my WiFi will work?

copy your files into sdcard then reboot your device
about wifi you can flash the boot.img manually(maybe you do not need that because you are S-OFF now)
otherwise flash your rom again

[Q] Sensation alive....sort of

Hello to all you phone guru's,
I am pretty much a noob, so go easy on me please.
Back story...I have been interested in electronic for years and though I am ok on the hardware side of things, the software and programming I struggle with, I am trying to learn but like any beginner there are hurdles at which I stumble and have to ask for help, hence my typing the post.
My trade is mechanics so if you would like any car advice and I can help my door is always open.
Anyway, I bought the sensation I have as a little project, so I could start learning while hopefully getting a nice operating phone out of it as well, it is operating as far as I can get it into hboot etc and it has Tea Win recovery which I can access but that's about it, it appears to have no OS on it, no image....nothing.
I have tried to follow several guides on this site concerning RUU's and images but have failed to have any success, I have ADB downloaded and drivers....the details I have been able to get off phone are as follows:
hboot-1.27.0000
radio-11.23.3504.07_M2
open adsp-v02.6.0.2226.00.0131

So now I have shared my problem, please bring forth the solutions, to which I really hope there are some.
Is the phone dead never to be revived?
Thank you for taking the time to read this and any help is appreciated.

since you can boot to the bootloader your device is not dead
the only thing it needs is to flash a custom rom from recovery
i suggest to use 4ext recovery because you are on S-ON
follow only step 2 from here(flashing a recovery)

then download your desired rom and put it in your sdcard

Neeeeed more help please...
Unfortunately the already suggested ideas have not worked.
So here I am pleading for help again.
I have tried flashing a few roms, 2 of which have installed but not solved the problem and the rom apparently for my phone cid and mid didn't want to installed at all, I have tried flashing PG58.img but again it simply doesn't want to know, I can't s-off for the fact that when it comes to reboot it reboots into the problem which is getting stuck on htc screen then nothing, I've relocked and unlocked via dev, I've also tried editing cid in PG58 img then flashing...still no joy.
I am stuck completely, my eyes are boggling from the amount of threads and posts I've trawled through and im a gnats **** away from taking a hammer to the phone
Anyone out there that can help?

Solved....

Of course you are correct sir, my apologies.
Tbh I thought that nobody would look at my post as im a noob...
Turned out to be that there was a rom (the stock one installed fresh) but no boot
So accessed the rom file copied boot.img and pasted into sdk platform-tools, which I am sure
y'all know is adb, so in fastboot usb....flashed boot boot.img a voila a phone that does not get
stuck on htc screen.
Have a wifi issue now though, which I think may be a rom thing....yet more investigation under way.
Thanks to rzr86 for the help and communications.

that's why i told you to enable smartflash from 4ext in my 2nd post
smartflash is doing exactly what you did manually(with boot.img)
in S-ON devices boot partition is still protected so recovery can't flash the boot.img while installation except if you have enabled smartflash previously
that's why for S-ON users 4ext is more preferable

Trust me my mate i tried what you said several times with 4ext and smartflash enabled only for it to start then abort install.
Hence my confusion and being stuck, i have no idea why it wouldn't install, i checked and double check that it was the right
boot img for rom but as i say it just refused to install boot img.

maybe you were enabling smartflash in the wrong time
you just enable it exactly before flashing a rom
