I did this for my sensation xe. These are from older posts
######################################
Do this to root ur HTC sensation Xe with hboot 1.18
Install clockwork as follows. check and download latest applicable one from
http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/
Install android sdk. open android sdk and download android sdk tools. The files mentioned below will be available from Android sdk install directory.
Create a folder (C:\Android) on your computer with the following files -
adb.exe
fastboot.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll
Place your recovery image (say recovery.img) in the same folder.
Open a command prompt and navigate to C:\Android and Get your phone into recovery mode using the command -
adb reboot-bootloader
or
volume down + power button
Select Fastboot.
Then you can flash the recovery using the command -
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Reboot your phone using the command
fastboot reboot
Boot into recovery using the command -
adb reboot recovery
Take a NANDROID backup next using clockwork mod.
Reboot your phone. Connect to computer as a disk drive and download the ROM mentioned in the thread below to downgrade ur HBOOT version.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1459767
Reboot into recovery. Then select the option "Install zipfile from sdcard" and select the ROM image and then install it. After installation is complete reboot the phone and u will have a downgraded version of HBoot.
Next thing to do is s-off using revoultionary.
Latest one can be downloaded from http:revolutionary.io
Reboot into bootloader using
adb reboot-bootloader
Open revolutionary and follow the steps. Note you will need a beta key for revolutionary which u can get it from the site mentioned above.
Now u will have s-off.
Select the ROM u want to install place it in your SDcard root / and then reboot into recovery and install custom ROM. Now u will have ICS or whatever else you want
NOTE: This is risky and sometimes might brick the device if not done properly. I am not responsible for anything if it goes wrong. Some people also recommend titanium backup. But my phone didnt have much data so i did not use that.

[Q] Phone can't boot after kernel flash

Hello,
So I have a rooted HTC Desire S with Hboot 2.00.0002, unlocked bootloader and 4ext touch recovery. After a couple of failed attempts of flashing the MIUI rom and nandroid restoring it, I lost the ability to connect to 3G after the fourth attempt. So, I tried to flash a new kernel on it to see if it would solve anything. It didn't, whenever I boot up my phone it hangs on the HTC logo, then reboots a little while in 4ext recovery mode.
From here I again tried to nandroid restore, but with no luck.
How do I get my phone back to working? (what I had before was rooted stock rom)
I have tried these two kernels: http://bit.ly/ozxbWr (HTC-Kernel-2.6.35.10) and the Reaper 3.0 kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433816).
Thanks.

Alright, found the problem. For future Googlers here is how I fixed it.
So, first I downloaded a custom rom for my phone, MIUI. I placed the zip on my micro-SD card (I have a converter so it will fit into my laptop) and booted into 4EXT recovery. I guess you can use ClockworkMod Recorvery aswell.
In here I picked "choose from SD-card" and picked my .zip file and installed it.
After installation you boot into the bootloader (Volume Down + Power button) and go into fastboot. While in fastboot you plugin your USB-cable.
Set up ADB and Fastboot with this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1272595
Now go back to where you downloaded the custom rom to and extract the boot.img file to the folder where adb.exe and fastboot.exe is.
Upon up a cmd in your folder where adb.exe and fastboot.exe is in (Use Shift+Right click, pick "Open cmd here").
Now write exactly the following
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
.
Press Enter and let it do it's job. When it's done you can unplug the USB cable and restart the phone as normally. The phone will now function again.

Did you unlock your phone with HTCDEV? If so then it is extremely well documented that you have to flash to kernel separately.

[TUT] Restore you HTC One S to full stock! [S4] Radio 1.13.xxx.xxx

Restoring this to full stock is to
Stock ROM/Sense 4
Stock Recovery
Stock EVERYTHING!!!
First, You will have to flash the stock recovery.
I'm guessing if you have gotten yourself in the mess of flashing a custom ROM, you have the fastboot files.
Download the stock recovery loadbalancing (dot) modaco[/url] (dot) com /download.php?file=ville_recovery_signed.img (Google search modaco ville_recovery_signed)
Go into fastboot [Power Button+Vol Down then let go of power]
Place the file in the fastboot folder. Then run this command fastboot flash recovery ville_recovery_signed.img
The meaning of this command
fastboot=notes that the command is running fastboot
flash=flash command in fastboot
recovery=notates that this is flashing a recovery partition
ville_recovery_signed.img=This is the name of the file you downloaded.
After you see that it is done
Run this command fastboot oem lock
This is to relock the bootloader.
Now, Go back into fastboot, and run the RUU. MATCH YOU RADIO NUMBERS AND CARRIER
Download from Here: androidruu (dot) com/?developer=Ville
TMOUS= T-Mobile USA
BM=Boost Mobile? (Not sure)
Rogers=Rogers Wireless CAN.
Run the RUU and hopefully your phone should be back to normal stock!!!
If you are successful, this is the next step: :victory::highfive:

follow-up
I would greatly appreciate if you guys let me know if it works. I kind of typed this up fast. If you have any questions, please reply to this thread. Hopefully, I will take a look and see if I can help.

I flashed every rom since I buied my one s, unfurtunatly I don't write somewhere or memorate my cid, and now I'm on supercid, how can I discover my real cid now ?

Updated my phone from Gingerbread to Kitkat now stuck on loading screen!?

Hi I had a struggle yesterday because I know nothing about phones so I followed a guide to updating your phone, so I did it through bootloader/recovery and after installing the custom RUU it actually worked, but after loading up on the screen it shows instructions and shows that it's loading the page/phone and i thought maybe it was but it's been like that overnight so is there anyway around this? (I can get on the power off menu with restart etc but thats about it I cant x off the instructions or anything telling me the updates to the phone)

i'm a noob to all this stuff so i'll link you the guide i followed and ill just post what comes up in bootloader

don't think i can post links as i'm new but i used a guide off this forum called [Guide] How to root, install EXT4 recovery and custom ROM on HBOOT 2.00.0002 and the custom ROM I used is off this site too the title of the thread is called [ROM] [02-06] Primo-S - v4.1 [HTC One V port] Android 4.0.3 [Kernel 3.0]

I just read about [ROM] [02-06] Primo-S - v4.1 [HTC One V port] Android 4.0.3 [Kernel 3.0] and it works fine on HTC Desire S.
First of all it's rom not RUU. if you want to know difference read tutorials and guides here.
You have HTCDev unlocked bootloader and installed 4ext recovery.My recommendation is to flash new 4ext recovery first(touch one) that I uploaded.
Check MD5 : ADA2A56547EF258638AF94445744583B

of that zip file.
To do this follow step 3. in [Guide] How to root, install EXT4 recovery and custom ROM on HBOOT 2.00.0002 just use recovery.img from attachment down here.
And now for your problem.From what I know this is common problem on S-ON HTCDev unlocked phones.
After flashing new rom you have to flash boot.img from fastboot.
First open your PrimoS-v4.1.zip then you will see file boot.img.Extract it to C:\android-tools.Get in boot by holding power button and volume down together.Connect USB and enter fastboot. (fastboot usb)
Go to start->run-> type cmd and press enter. A command prompt will now appear.
(just like step 4 in guide)
Type:
Code:
cd c:\android-tools [press enter]
fastboot devices [press enter]
this show if your phone is connected to computer
if you get nothing you are not connetced
if you get some info like ST9212IJKL then you type
fastboot flash boot boot.img [press enter]
you will see blue loading form in right upper corner of screen
very fast but that mean you flashed boot
When all this done reboot phone and you should get your rom started.Sometimes it takes up to 10min but no more then that.
If you don't get in like this then you have to go to recovery and wipe all except sd and flash rom again and follow step 4 in guide.
Try this then tell what you got.Good luck.

Hi thanks for the reply I did a few things earlier just messing about on recovery mode and it's sorted and it didn't even wipe my phone I still have all my contacts and stuff maybe they were saved on my sd card idk but yh works perfectly now cheers for your time and help.

Hi,
I had the same problem at the beginning as I was unlocked the bootloader with HTCDEV.
If you unlocked the bootloader with HTCDEV, you should flash the boot.img manually with fastboot to get it fixed.
1). Switch off the phone and trun it on to bootloader and go to the fastboot
2). Connect the device to the pc and connect it with fastboot (CMD)
3). extract the custom firmware (.zip) file and find the boot.img file
4). copy it to the location where your fastboot.exe located at (ex: C:\sdk\platform-tools\)
then flash it with
HTML:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Hope this help you
Regards..

HeartBleed?????

Hi,
To anyone who is reading this message I wanted to ask that I got a HeartBleed security update and I don't know if I will lose root permissions? I would install a custom Rom but I have S-On and when I try, I end in a boot loop.
P.S) How do I flash a custom Rom's boot.img file?

You can try installing the update but make sure you have stock recovery, if you do lose root then flash recovery from fastboot and flash this in recovery.
To make things easier when installing a custom ROM you could go S-OFF (using Moonshine S-OFF, Rumrunner S-OFF or Firewater S-OFF). Going S-OFF means you dont have to flash the boot.img every time
To flash the ROM's boot.img open the .zip file of the ROM and drag the boot.img file to the desktop. Then for Windows press shift and right click on the desktop and then select Open command window here, for Ubuntu press CTRL+ALT+T and type in (wihthout quotes) "cd ~/Desktop".
Then to prepare your phone press and hold the power + volume down until the HBOOT screen comes up, then use the power and volume keys to navigate to fastboot and select it with the power button, then plug in your phone to your computer (drivers must be installed)
Then to flash, go back to the command/terminal window and type in (without quotes) "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and then "fastboot reboot"
(The commands work in Windows/Linux/OS X
