You can try to flash a rom to start your phone again try that.

Did you flash anything or mod the phone in any way? If all you did was accept an official update leading to this boot loop I would call HTC or your carrier and have them fix it!

OP said they had the phone S-OFF but still running stock ROM - wouldn't the S-OFF be an issue for warranty?
Maybe the OTA update couldn't or didn't properly update the radio/bootloader/recovery segment - that would cause an ICS ROM to fail boot. I think trying to reflash the old stock ROM, or a GB-based custom one, is the first thing to try. Failing that, maybe manually flash the appropriate ICS firmware/radio package for the OTA ROM (see this thread)

Doh. Missed that!
OP, you could try to flash the update manually through bootloader?

IMO you need to flash the 3.32 firmware that will support/run ics (elegancia/darkforest) .

Did these flash OK (even though you are unable to boot them)? Recovery would have notified you of the result.
If so as above post, update firmware with the firmware needed for the last from you successfully flashed. Post if you get stuck.

first you have to flash your stock ruu file. then s-on.. read the thread in dev section
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA
Im maybe experiencing the same problem. Here's what happened. I was using internet-pass-through with my Sensation XE for me download games and saw in my notifications that there's an available system update which is the android 4.0, etc. I downloaded the file and installed it but right after i got stucked with picture of an android and beside it is a exclamation point in a triangle. I removed the batt and turned on the phone and nothing happened, nothing new. So, I searched in youtube and saw a way of updating ICS in my phone. My phone had S-off but still using Stock rom. I entered the bootloader then CWM then formatted the system, cache, then tried to update to ICS since i got the zip file already in my SDcard. After then, the installation was aborted, it says cannot fine system/build.prop or something. I rebooted my fone and I got stucked up with the HTC logo and white screen. Omg please help me. I'm crying. I just bought the fone. :'(

i encountered the problem of corrupted theme of 4ext. im not sure how it happened. maybe because i flashed CM10.1 then returned back to ViperS ICS? not sure bout that. its not really a problem but its quite annoying to press okay every time i boot into recovery. hehe

Does the rom boot? If so just use the 4ext app to flash a new theme. That should overwrite whatever is corrupted. If that doesn't work reflash the recovery entirely. You can do that from the app too.
If that doesnt work comeback with a more detailed description of exactly what you get.

There is an app for 4ext. Its available for download on the play store. Its an absolute must have app if you use 4ext recovery. It makes life so much easier.

[HELP] How to Unbrick

Hi guys..i need help here..my friend ask me to unbrick his HTC Explorer..its rooted already..he said its happen bcoz he wrongly deleted software..system file perhaps..so the situation here, its stuck into white screen with HTC logo..i search google, i can unbrick it using RRU..but one of my friend said, RRU cannot be done on unlocked bootloader..so i wanna ask if anyone can guide me, how to unbrick it to stock rom..i dont know whether this phone bootloader unlock or not..how to check it? thanx
EDIT : Done..its unlocked and i just flash any custom rom..is there any pure stock rom that flashable on CWM? or i only can use custom based on stock only?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2189199 This is as close as it can be to stock rom, there is pretty much no difference between this and ruu, only installation method. If you want check out this thread also http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2225776 this is with the newest official update for explorer

my friend, i tried both, but end it with bootloop..but other custom rom can boot to homescreen..hurmm..but i wanna stock rom..did i need to flash stock kernel first?
That's weird... No, kernel first is not needed for the phone. Can you try first flashing this http://www.mediafire.com/?lim1od8qrjdbblp and after that one of the roms, another idea is to search for a backup of stock rom, then just restore it, I'm sure somewhere here in the forum I saw one, just couldn't find it now and I don't have a lot time, will try again later.Or ask in of the rom's thread, I just have no clue why stock roms don't work for you.

It appears to be the case of soft brick. Just download any custom from of your choice (IMO go for cm9#12) and flash it.
