Heyy peeps,
Couple of weeks ago I unlocked my HTC Desire S. Thanks to this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525100) i succeeded and had the Reaper V4.0 rom installed.
I tried to experiment with other roms like PACman. Unfortunatly, every rom I try ends up with the same old HTC boot screen loop.
That's kinda the problem, so any help would be appreciated!
Read step 4 again.
??'boot.img'??
You're right, didn't change the boot image. So I did that now with the Fallout V5 and PACman roms. It worked this time and the rom booted spotless. But after a while I tried to reboot, now again I'm stuck a boot screen with HTC logo.
That's because instead of flashing boot.img to boot partition, you've actually booted the phone with it, but without flashing.
The correct form is:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
You did:
fastboot boot boot.img
Now tell me something: how does it happen that people can't read guides properly? EVERYTHING is documented, why do people still manage to mess things up?
Thanks mate.

Hello, I got a brand new HTC Desire S (Android 2.3.5, Sense 3.0, HBOOT 2.00.0002)
I wanted to root my phone, but even with all the tutorials here it was immune to it. I decided to install Reaper v.3.0 ROM on it. After hard times I did it... But I would like to come back to my original ROM. I have problems with it, because I found one prerooted ROM here, but when I install it and run, it loops on the boot screen. Can't do anything with it.
Could anybody help me with it?
I am a complete noob with it...

Did you flash the boot.img separately from fastboot after flashing the ROM? If not, then you need to do that. Do a google search for fastboot flash boot boot.img

OK Here is how to do it..
From Reaper ROM zip file locate boot.img file
now reboot your phone into fastboot
then from command prompt run "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
reboot your phone and then it should work fine.
After that follow the guide here to revert to stock
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604255
Sorry guys, i think I wrote it unclearly
I mean Reaper works great. Just I downloaded the ROM from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/private.php?do=showpm&pmid=7191875
and that one loops. I did what you have said about that boot.img with all the ROMs. Doesn't work on that second ROM ;/
OKAY, THE PROBLEM IS OVER I FOUND SOMEWHERE AN ORIGINAL ROM WHICH I INSTALLED. EVERYTHING WORKS FINE!
THANKS EVERYBODY FOR HELP!
Hey, first time posting something on this forum but to all devs reading this thanks alot for everything you do!
And Thanks to anyone who can help me!
Now my problem is as following,
My stock rom is RUU_Ville_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.21.401.10_Radio_1.06s.50.02.27_2_10.08.50.04L__release_271119_signed.exe
I followed this guide to unlock the bootloader and get root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583427
I used this recovery "Official CWM of koush (HTC One S)" (both toutch and regular has been tested)
Then i downloaded MIUI at first and flashed that(full wipe), it installed fine so i rebooted.
Once i got passed the htc boot screen everything went black, no boot animation.
After that i tested some more Roms, ParanoidAndroid and AOKP Milestone 6.
The exact same thing happend with and exeption for AOKP where the toch keys turned on.
I also noticed it showed up as a removable device in windows from time to time when plugged in (dont if that helps).
After that i restored my one s to stock and then did all the steps again but that yeilded the same results.
I have no idea what the problem is and im hoping its something that has an easy fix and im just to dumb to see it.
If you need any more info just ask, and again thanks for any help!
Before flashing rom through CWM, did you flash boot.img through fastboot. Every rom comes with a boot.img that must be flashed through fastboot when not using TWRP.

just use twrp and problem solved.
CWM IMO sucks in comparison. Not to mention the level of support with TWRP is so far and above ANYTHING you will get with CWM.

Hi to all, I'm having an issue with my sensation xe.
I'm using vipers 1.6.3 with bricked kernel and today I would like to try Pyd-x kernel. After install it, the phone rebooted and gone into boot loop.
Without trouble I tryed to restore my nandroid backup, already tryed another two times with full success, but now nothing change.
I'm still in boot loop.
The only things I'm able to do is enter in hboot and into 4ext recovery.
I already tryed to flash another kernel, another rom, but nothing change....
could somebody help me please?
Many thanks

That's seems a bit too hassling...
Wooler, the problem you're having is because of 4ext and smartflash/S-ON. In order to fix this, you need to flash the boot.img from ViperS using fastboot. 4ext requires a working boot partition in order to flash kernels with S-ON, so it's impossible to fix the problem by using 4ext (i.e. as you've already realized, no amount of flashing kernels/ROMs will fix this). I've attached the boot.img file from ViperS 1.6.3 to the bottom of this post; download it and follow the instructions here on how to flash a boot.img file with fastboot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1752270
After you flash the boot.img and your phone turns on, reboot to recovery, flash PYD-X again, and it should work this time. If you have any questions on flashing a boot.img using fastboot then feel free to ask.
if you can`t run ruu, entern in bootloader ( adb reboot-bootloader ) and run ruu again

ADB won't be of any use in this case because ADB is a userspace utility and Wooler's phone isn't booting at all. All the magic will be done with fastboot since all Wooler can access is the bootloader
A big thanks to all
Dear friends, first of all a BIG THANKS TO ALL.
I followed the suggestion of android1234567 and my sensation booted, but it stay into the welcome screen with the white background and the sensation xe logo.
Probably because I tryed many things before asking to you.
So I recovered my nandroid backup and all gone well. My sensation work again.
A big thanks to all.
Best regards

Hello!
Well I just joined to this forum but I have read a lot here in the last years.
Now I'm trying to put the rom Pac Man (pac_villec2-nightly-20140512.zip) on HTC One S (S3 or villeC2)
The recovery works, the rom boot but it takes a lot of time, right now is still on loading... (20 minutes or more)
I tried a factory reset and then flash the rom again, but i got the same.
If I open this thread is because I couldn't fix this, and for sure is a simple error...
I want to try this rom but if it doesn't work I will have to change
I think I have the lastest firmware cause my hboot is 3.01.0000, but I will check this.
Thanks for any help!!
