Help with custom rom Sense

Hello everybody,
I have a little problem/bug with my HTC. I have flashed the rom Saga3D v3.0 that includes Sense 3.0.
My phone wasn't working anymore after trying to flash two times Runnydroid and CyanogenMod, it was blocking on HTC bootscreen (and that for more than 20min)
As a temporary solution i found Saga3D and my phone is working again but the rom normally includes Sense 3.0. In the software informations of my HTC there is written Sense 3.0 but in case I have the interface of Sense 3.5 !
I had the new update before flashing (and new HBOOT idd) and I dont know why I get this problem. I did a full wipe (Wipe data/cache with Revolutionary CWM) and I dont understand why I get again Sense 3.5
Sorry for my bad English
Thanks in advance

download the 4ext recovery control app from market and flash that recovery over cwm! Then reboot into recovery, format ALL partitions then flash a sense 3 rom again eg - Shadow Hawk V2.1 [see mmy sig]
Hope this helps!

Tried to follow your instructions, flashed Recovery.img of 4ext but now it is blocking on HTC boot screen.. Reflashed recovery of Revolutionary CMW and it is working again.. wtf
Is it not linked of my hboot that is in 2.00.0002 ? Is it not more raisonable to wait s-off with new update off revolutionary ?
Every time my phone is blocking on HTC boot screen I must pull out the battery and I'm scared that my phone is bricking (already did 5-6 times because cmd isn't finding phone on boot screen..)

4ext but now it is blocking on HTC boot screen?
u didn't came into the recovery?

I flashed the recovery img of 4ext but when i tried to go into the recovery(with the app or with volume down+power) with 4ext my phone was blocking on HTC boot screen.
I pulled out the battery, boot in normal mode and flashed again the recovery img of Revolutionary CMW. Recovery is working with this CMW.

Yes my HBOOT is s-on 2.00.0002 but unlocked with HTCdev. (People said me that flashing a custom rom was possible with s-on, if bootloader was unlocked)

If you have unlocked using HTCDEV see this thread for a resolution:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19071114#post19071114
It is possible to flash S-ON but you need to manually flash the boot image for the custom rom that you intend to use after ROm flash.

I think I will actually wait for new update of Revolutionary, I got to much worried with flashing/rooting my HTC. Will try to reset to actually stock rom and wait.
I'm a noob and I assume it

you have kernel mismatch, when u unlock with htc dev method you have to flash yourself a kernel u can see that post here :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1619656
-that is if you want the custom roms you flash to work and not to s-off your device.
btw did u try try the JuopunutBear to s-off?

Flash other kernel

Yeah, when flashing a ROM with S-ON you need to flash the kernel (boot.img) first, via fastboot. using 'fastboot flash boot boot.img'

ive had luck installing custom roms that have the AROMA installer equipped on hboot 1.58 S-On but with non aroma i havent had any luck whatsoever i found a few i just searched htc evo 3d roms aroma installer and i got a few decent hits and one rom i particularly like using the search method. there are a bunch of methods i saw but it didnt do anything for me if it even did what it was supposed to do.
good luck!

First is to relock your phone with all.in one.tool kit
then your phone should reboot after that
after you see that then you go into fastboot mode
then you download this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33690612&postcount=2297
then you run it after that it should stay HTC then it will have a green bar under it ( it pretty much telling you its working ^_^)
then after that you should be out of boot mode yayy!

If you relock boot loader with a custom ROM on it it will only boot back into bootloader mode no recovery no ROM. Make sure you have an ruu that will work.. I also believe you can only run an ruu from a windows machine.

If your bootloader is < locked >, you can upgrade desired components by
running RUU saga 4.0.4, that -is a simpliest of ways to upgrade device's bootloader and the radio...
If you're running stock, then upgrading to higher version of stock is just as simple as running an ics RUU.
It'd be different if you're unlocked via htcdev- if you are- then before running ruu,
you must relock your bootloader
Code: fastboot oem lock
Then run RUU.exe (on windows machine), let it completely finish
and you are done

but my htc desirse s has s-on .... and most of the forum which i read they said for upgrading hboot and radio version ...... s-off is needed

but i had a problem tht i had rooted my phone when my phone had gingerbread version ... so i have hboot & radio version whic is supported to gingerbread ... and after rooting i have deleted backup of stock rom .... so i cant officially update my phone to ics .... if there is any way to upadte please tell me .... i am using now ICS DS 8.0 . i also tried to update my phone to official ics ..... but it shows error tht you must have an official rom ....

Is your phone branded?
Have you relocked the bootloader?
if you upgrade by ruu,your hboot and radio are updated automaticaly
Edit: there is no official OTA for our device,
you'll have to download an ics ruu from htc dev site
Edit 2: you can flash RUU ics even when you've rooted your device before
It will update all device's partitions:system, bootloader, radio, stock recovery, kernel (stock) etc,
and 'll remove root and all other, previously flashed custom components.
If your device is branded to any mobile carrier, then using a goldcard is advised
to avoid errors during upgrade procedure
RUU- rom update utility- is an official, whole update pack from htc,
in a form of < exe >file- for windows, containing complete set of components that
our device requires, to function in a manner intended by manufacturer

no i have not locked my bootloader .. its is unloacked ..... and my cell dont have a STOCK ROM still it can be updated with ruu ... but when i tried it it show unable tu detect the ruu in mobile

First you have to relock bootloader-in fastboot mode- command in my post above,
Then-.still in fastboot, connct to pc let it detect the phone and
start RUU.exe
In case pc does not see your device,
make sure ADB and fastboot drivers ar installed.
Newer versions of windows are known already for troubles
with connection,
Find- in that case- drivers for your windows version..

i have tried running ruu .... it gets upto sending ... and it get failed then there is recovery steps ......

Ok...ok...now,
If you first would answer a few questions,
1. Was it you that have unlocked your device's bootloader
2. do you know what ADB and FASTBOOT is,
3. do you know how to use ADB and FASTBOOT
4. does adb see your desire s
5. are you aware that in order to flash RUU you MUST lock bootloader again
Otherwise you'll never succeed in doing so
6. when flashing RUU- the phone must be in fastboot mode,
a) Must be connected to pc by the wire
b) there must be clear connection between the two (pc and the phone)
7. You start the RUU on the computer like any other < exe > program
8. You will not succeed in flashing RUU from recovery-
You'll not succeed in sending file through fastboot like you do with a boot image
9. Now- i think -i made it all clear as the summer sun
Edit: i do have stock 2.3.5 cwm backup, but i'm not sure if it will work on a machne other than the one which've made it
moreover it is about 600 mb, so i'm not sure where could i upload it for you
Edit 2: what do you mean by: 'recovery steps'
Edit 3: make sure your device isn't branded-because if it is, that causes errors
when you try to flash a RUU other than the carrier's your device is locked to
Try to read more from the index thread
Flashing the kind of thing a RUU is,
Is so simple and stright forward that it is (almost) impossible to fail,
One of very few things that are causing errors are
a) lack of connection in fastboot mode (wrong or to old windows drivers)
b) carrier branded stock rom- which is a bit more difficult to reflash
by world wide english version (but by all means not impossible)
c) unlocked bootloader- which in this case must be locked(or relocked) again
There is nothing else popping to my mind that would possibly prevent you
from successful accomplishment of upgrade procedure...
....well except maybe when you 'd try to flash lower software version on top of the higher one
( which is doable as well- with small modification of < misc_version >)
which- in your case is not true- or is it?

1. yes my bootloader is unlocked through htcdev
2. i dont know what is adb but i know fastboot option in phone it appears when volume down and power button is pressed together
3.i dont know the use of adb and fasboot but i use it for flashing a boot image
4.no i dont know how to lock bootloader again
5. But In Ruu setup they just said that start debugging option in phone .... after tht all options it restarts automatically
and about your edit step 2 recovery option comes in ruu after the upgrading ruu gets fail .. i show to recover phone
and call you tell me the meaning of branded ? about this line ( make sure your device isn't branded )
I Am doing this all because i want to flash pacman rom .... for it i got problem that i flash its boot image and it also get successful ... but when i restart my mobile it shows the boot image of earlier rom which i flashed before pacman ... so my mobile doesnt get started .. it stucks on boot animation

What recovery are you using? It looks like pacman isn't being flashed properly. (I would recommend trying the latest version of 4ext)

Edit: you did flash pacman in recovery and then flash the boot.img in fastboot, I suppose?

We say a device is branded when it is locked by mobile carrier to use only with his sim card
and no other ...
What ussualy follows is that system installed on a device- although official- is very often modified
in a specific way...
That is the reason why branded phone,( equipped with branded rom )
refuses other than this same carrier's RUU version,
Example:
If your phone is locked ( branded ) to T mobile, normally it'd refuse any other than
T mobile's RUU.
To force successful flash nonetheless,
one must use < gold card > (you can find how to create and use it in desire s index thread )

Need way more info my friend... R u s-on / s-off? Unlocked bootloader? Rooted? Bootloader details? What r you trying to achive?
To get bootloader details, pull the battery out for a min then put back in then press and hold volume down + power button (so both same time)

hey! thanks for the reply I know this is an old phone now .
heres what i know
SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.00.0002
RADIO-3822.10.08.04_M
eMMc- boot
i can unlock bootloader i relocked it to use a RUU but it didnt work.
I just want my phone to work again regardless of version but iv tried 6 or 7 RUU and flashing roms etc
What I would adore is a link to a RUU that will work as they are just a exe but if there is amore complicated way id need simple steps to follow. I also have the htc desire s toolkit . it flashed a ruu zip for me and it all worked except the signature failed? so it didnt work
Thanks in advance

You can't install older RUU if you don't do misc_version or GOLDCARD.For me that worked.
You have to unlock bootloader(HTCDev) and flash recovery.img (I use 4ext).
Please check this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2273016.
From what I can see you want to install new rom or repair old.You can unlock your phone and flash any rom but install RUU you need newer RUU that match your CID.Check this guide.Be careful bc installing RUU you install new hboot radio and everything else.Not just system.
For you it's better to flash new rom when you unlock bootloader.Don't forget to flash boot.img via fastboot after you flash rom and gapps.
