[Q] stuck on htc logo - HTC Desire S

Hi guys.
I have a strange problem.
when I'm trying to flash custom ROMS, mostly cyanogen ROMS,
I do a full wipe and try to flash the ROM, it finishes, but when I reboot my phone it gets stuck on the HTC logo until the battery runs out and then I have to return to a different ROM.
I managed to flash cyanogen 7 but then I tried to update to 10 and again it got stuck on the HTC logo and now I cant return to cyanogen 7 even with my nandroid backup.
what can I do to fix this?
I looked all over the forum but I didn't manage to find any post with a fix for my problem
my HBOOT is 6.98.1002 and RADIO 3831.17.00.310
and I'm S-Off using revolution
and I'm currently using fallout 5.0 which lags alot (thats mainly wht I want to try the cyanogen)
any help would be very appreciated.
thanks

Do you try to update recovery?

I didn't but I didn't think it would matter seeing as it finishes the ROM installation but just gets stuck when i reboot.
also I have CWM recovery 5.0.2.0 and I think thats a latest for Desire S

As a suggestion change cwm for 4ext, there have been issues with cwm not formatting the partitions properly and some issues on flashing files. Also take a look at the none Sony panel users hangout lounge, click the link in my sig and you'll find a link on post 2

ok thanks alot I'll try flashing the new kernel, and also does it matters which HBOOT I have?
should I try to upgrade to 2.x.x? or it doesn't really matters?

Hboot 7.00.1002

ok I think I might have a big problem now,
I tried doing what's written in this guid http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1943524 and it seemed like there was an improvement..
only than I realised it got stuck on the bootanimation this time..
I waited, and I guess the battery was draind or something becuase my phone was shutdown, but now I cant open it or even get into bootloader.
it just vibrated for 7 times in a row and thats it.
I'm not even sure if it's charging when I plug it in
please help..

Have a read of this post, it looks like the same issues you have worth your hboot version http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38466304

well right now I think the main problem is that I can't open the device, even HBOOT or reccovery. nothing.
I'm not sure if it's even charging.
I don't know how to use adb when the phone is completly closed and the computer doesn't even reconize it.
I really don't know what to do from here...

In post 2 of the help thread in my sig is a link to how to set up and run adb, sounds like you dont have the drivers installed correctly, what os are you on?

did you update to the latest "boot.img"
For example in "[Flinny] Andromadus Test builds - CM10.1[16]" is Kernel version 3.0.66.
I did update the kernel
After that used 4Ext v1.0.0.5 RC8 to format the system and seperate system_lib
Installed Flinny and had no problems.
I am using
HBoot : 7.00.1002

[Q] Can some one please anwsered my question freakin out lol

ok i just got finished rooting my sensation 4g and everything geting it s-off and i was on my way to flashing a firmware but i think i may of messed up ive searched everwhere when i start my phone it dous HTC then dous the HTC and the little words underneith it then it restarts is my phone messed or is this something stupidly simple please help freaking out and oh btw i was flashing the firm where from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468683 i think the problem is i tryed to flash it in clock work mod recovery dunno if i was supose to do it there or not i tryed the how to fix radio bootloop but it didnt do anything should i try to flash to stock rom? im a noob but quick learner can some one help plz
Not to sound harsh but if you didn't read up on fixing issues should they occur then you should not have even attempted to flash anything.
It's starting to get really annoying having to constantly bail out n00bs who haven't a clue what they're doing. ALL the information is available to you so you have no excuses not to know what to do
i no im a big noob and a complete idiot ive flashed other phones but im new to the sensation any help would be appreciated
come on some one please i love this phone i just want a little help.... if its bricked tell me please some one help......
Dude, as the other guy said the information is out there and not even hard to find. But I'm in a good mood ....
Firstly, you don't flash firmware in recovery, you boot into bootloader. Secondly, once flashed you MUST delete it from your SD card. Otherwise your phone is going to go into a big fat boot loop. Thirdly, if you are flashing custom ROMs, make sure you read the first few posts of the dev's thread and understand what firmware you need to be running. Otherwise your phone is going to go into a big fat boot loop.
Do yourself a huge favour and make sure you read, read, read before you try anything else on your phone
Also, when creating a thread to ask a question, please give it a meaningful title. I thoroughly detest "Pleeeeeease help me LOL" thread titles and don't normally even view them.

Remember firmware can not be flashed using recovery.
You have to put it on the root of your sdcard and boot into bootloader.
Read this thread . Read very carefully before doing anything.

Ok to be very specific, answer me the following questions with very clear words.
A. Can you boot into bootloader??
To boot into bootloader do the following.
1. Power off your sensation.
2. Remove the battery.
3. Wait a minute.
4. Put the battery again.
5. Press Power + Volume Down key together.
6. The phone will boot into bootloader.
B. If you can boot into bootloader, then give us the full details of the screen message. If possible upload a photo of your bootloader screen.
C. What ROM did you tried to flash ???? Is it GB or ICS ??
D. What do you mean by "but it cant find the phone cause its stuck in the loop" . Even if you are in bootloop adb will be able to detect you phone .
yes i can get into bootloader and it says this

So you have actually flashed the firmware then. Have you then removed the firmware from your SD card? You MUST remove the firmware file from the SD card. Take the SD card out of the phone and use a card reader or another phone to do this. If you don't have anything else, there is a trick I've used.
Connect up the phone and open a command prompt. Type:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
If you get 'error: no device found' just hit the up arrow and enter. Keep doing this until you get no response on the command line. Then the phone will boot into recovery and you can 'toggle USB storage' from there and delete PG58IMG.zip using your computer.
yes i have deleted it then i restarted the phone and it still continuously loops the same thing over and over agian

Everything looks fine. Can you try someother ROM? Some users reported that firmware v3.24 didn't work but v3.12 worked fine. So I will suggest to try some other rom. If the problem persist then try v3.12 firmware.

[Q] just plain vanilla ice cream please mr

Hi guys ,just upgraded to a plain Sensation and id like to be rid of the htc crap...im a bit scared as ive had issues before (where i kind of ****ed up things and had to be rescued by fellow xdaers)
its running the stock ics.ive managed to root it and unlock the boot loader, the hboot is the 1.27 one thats a pain......how can i get into the groove in an easy turbo noob way...i have searched but just found everything a little intimidating
you shouldn't have unlocked the bootloader but no matter. follow the guide to s-off for sake of simplicity down the road.
honestly, of all the roms, I've been most happy with virtuous inquisition. It's a bit "aged" at this point, but in terms of stability, it's what's kept me.
It's still sense based, so all features still work, but beyond that, it's more or less an aosp experience.
give it a shot or one of the newer senseless / aosp style roms
ive got cw recovery installed and yes i still have s on.....is it just a case of placing the zip on the sd and installing from recovery?

you can flash roms even with S-ON but i suggest you to install 4ext recovery.see here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861
Try installing rom manager from the market then install cwm9.1.0 from within the app. It is fast, stable and vanilla. I tried it, but I missed all the sense stuff so I reverted back to stock.
ok so is now the time to panic?i did as brusko suggested...and ticked all the options....wipe back up and install.....now im just stuck at the cyanogen boot screen........ok im freaking now..heeelp when i used to use my ols sgs i9000 i had a set of progs and files i could rescue it with....is there such thing for this?

actually because you are S-ON the recovery doesn't flash the boot.img by itself(has not the ability to write the boot partition)
that's why i suggested you to flash the 4ext recovery because it has the feature for enable the smartflash
other solution is to follow the extra 1 part of the thread that i provided you in my previous post
if the one fails try the other
best wishes
Oops! Didn't know you had stock recovery. just flash 4ext recovery and the 1 extra step like the post above mentioned. goodluck!
---------- Post added at 08:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:59 PM ----------
Don't panic. It happened to me too! Use this tool to flash 4ext recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1497404
start your device when you get to the cyanogen boot screen, plug your device to your computer using usb cable, then start up the all in one tool kit, and flash 4ext recovery. Then boot into recovery if doesnt do it for you. In 4ext recovery chose toggle usb and transfer a rom in zip format to your sd (I chose ARHD 6.7.2)then chose disconnect. now choose install zip file from sd and flash the rom you just transferred. reboot device, install rom manager again from the market and install cwm 9.1.0 from within the rom manager. This should fix your problem! this is how I fixed mine Goodluck!

But seriously folks..
Yeah man I think 3.32 is fine. I'm on 3.33 myself, but I've read numerous posts with users of 3.32 with no problems.
Check the OPs of both threads for full installation instructions - particularly around S-on/S-off as (without looking) I think Bruce's needs off and I think DragunKorr's is OK with on, but I'm sure after rooting and installing 4ext, you should be fine.
One more thing - nothing wrong with being a noob. Everybody was at one time and people who flame others for asking "noobish" questions should **** off and find something better to do.

There are only three causes I can think of for the problem you have described;-
1) You aren't flashing the kernel
2) You have the wrong hBoot and it doesn't include the partition required for the new ROMs
3) You have the 'other' type of panel and need to use the specialist kernel

Actually, none of those seem to be the case here:
1. If the op is following the procedure he outlined in the first post, he is flashing the kernel
2. The op has already specified, that he is on hboot 2.00.002, any rom will work with that
3. If the op can't install ics roms either (as specified in his last post), then it can't be (only) the panel issue.
Please read before responding, SimonTS
That all being said, I can't think what the problem might be.

Excuse me for upsetting you in such a monumental way oh great one. I originally suggested (maybe a little abruptly, but given the majority of the posts on here and the total lack of information provided by the OP it was fair) that it was the hBoot as this is by far the most likely cause - he said he was running v2.00.002. I then suggested he look at the panel issue - he then decided to say that it wasn't just JB ROMs, but also ICS ones which had a problem. I then said I could only think of three possible causes - the same three that you can think of.
What, EXACTLY, did I say in there that caused you such upset?
The fact is that the OP STILL hasn't provided any useful information about his phone to help us help him - and he should still check his panel as a possible issue; maybe by trying to flash JB ROMs on the wrong type of panel he has caused further problems? I don't know and am just stood there with my manhood flapping in the wind to try and suggest anything else without further information from the OP.

If I was in your situation then I would be starting from basics;-
Full wipe - EVERYTHING
Re-install 4EXT Touch Recovery (latest version) - Check MD5 after downloading
Re-flash hBoot - Check MD5 after downloading
Full wipe - EVERYTHING
Format all partitions to EXT4 (not EXT3)
Full wipe - EVERYTHING
Install an ICS or JB ROM - Check MD5 after downloading
If this fails then do all the above but with a known solid GB ROM - Reaper or Endymion to make sure there's not something worse going on.
Also, regardless of your previous answer, do the test to ensure which panel your DS has - better to waste 2 minutes and be proved right than waste 2 days if you are wrong.

Here is what I did....
HTC One X (ATT). Unlocked and rooted yesterday. (TWRP)
Today tried to install CM10 and GApps, got stuck on CM bootscreen, then I flashed the boot.img and it still did not work....then my immediate next step (probably stupidly) was to flash modded boot...still did not work....I just got to HTC screen with the red writing on the bottom and nothing else....
So I got into TWRP and restored to my backup (which I was able to do before the above) and just got to the same HTC screen with red type on the bottom......now I started to panic.
I tried to relock the phone...and I did but now I cant go anywhere but the fastboot screen!!!!
Please Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you relocked already just run the ruu in fastboot and restore to stock.

Just read read and read more..be comfortable first than you'll be fine and know how to get out of any situation
Just read up and give it another go.....like anything else, sometimes you need certain thing to happen to learn....good luck.
Just saying, you flashed the boot.img after flashing the rom and gapps? The boot.img is flashed before flashing the rom
It can be done either way.
ive been seeing alot of new members soft bricking this way should read though this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957193 it explains every thing for ppl on hboot 1.14 and higher.

That is what is supposed to happen. Once you relock, you need to run the RUU. It won't boot otherwise.
I am unlocked and rooted again.....ready to try again...
I want to leave the phone alone but I cant help myself.......Anyone else have this issue???
I know what you mean, when i first got my one x and learned of rooting, i felt i was claustrophobic with normal stock. I Read and read and read some more, before I even thought about flashing roms. But I Recommenced flashing Viper JB 3.1.0 As it basically installs the boot img in the boot-loader for you. I also recommend Cm 10.1, except it does not have camera working as of yet. If you dont mind not having a camera, cm 10.1 is a very smooth rom. Also remember if flashing certain roms like cm 10. dalvik, cache and factory reset, as well as flashing the boot img are required for the rom to work. Good luck

HTC Sensation (early x-mas gift) Stuck on CM9 boot-up screen

Hello,
I have gone through the other threads that looked similar to this problem but I found nothing that worked there.
HBOOT - 1.27.0000
S-On
Unocked.
I went through the stages on the HTC website, got everything set up with Super User . I then backed-up and went to load up CM 9.
It basically just hangs in the little boot animation.
I tried using superclean (I think it was called that) It did not work.
I can get into the bootloader and clockworkmod touch but I cannot seem to get an image to work.
I tried one of the CM nightlies and it just hung at it's animation boot up screen also.
Can anyone help me please?

Did you flash boot.img manually from pc and did you wipe everything except sd card??

Hi,
You don't need a superwipe scriptm As you have s-on, you just flash boot.img inside the ROM.zip through fastboot, in this way:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
SENT FROM WHATEVER IS NOT SOMETHING TO BE LOCKED AT, THE THING IS THAT IT IS SENT.

Did you enable smartflash before flashing the rom and did you format everything except sd card?
