I think you unlocked your bootloader with htcdev, if yes you need to extract the boot.img of the ROM and after flashing the ROM you have to flash the kernel (boot.img) with fastboot, but next time search the forum, this has been discussed many times

Run the ruu without attached device, don't close the the window.
Search inside your temp folder for the rom.zip, copy it to another folder and close the window.
Inside the rom.zip remove the hboot.img and recovery.img.
Flashing with bootloader:
Rename it to PG88IMG.zip.
Put it to the root of your sd.
Reboot to bootloader and follow the instructions.
Delete the pg88img.zip, otherwise it will try to flash it everytime you access the bootloader.
Flashing from recovery:
Put it to your sd.
Wipe all partitions except sd.
Flash it from recovery.
....extract the boot.img from the rom you flash via recovery and put it somewhere in your computer like C:\Android
then when you are in recovery open cmd connect your phone using the cable provided and type adb reboot bootloader
your phone will reboot in bootloader.now type in cmd fastboot flash boot C:\Android\boot.img
then reboot your phone.

That's why the hboot.img and the recovery.img needs to be deleted
Without those he still would stay s-off and with the same recovery, just the system, radio and kernel would be reverted back to stock

Hi all,
I want to return my phone to stock so i am trying to flash the original RUU but this does not work.
Do i have to relock? if so how is that done? through the adb command?
is it possible for to get locked written in bootloader as in some threads it says this can only be set to relocked, is this correct?
You can relock the bootloader using adb !
Boot into fastboot, Open a command window from your adb folder (shift and right click)
Type in: fastboot oem lock
That will relock the bootloader, RUU needs a lock bootloader ! There is no way to get **LOCKED** back !! Only **RELOCKED** But this shouldnt affect your warranty.
You may also need the stock recovery in order for the RUU to work, Sometimes you do sometimes you dont..

I assume i should flash this with fastboot correct? - done
If I wanna return to stock, after locking the bootloader, does it have to be the same version ROM I had initially? Or can I flash any version RUU provided it matches my phone model? Because I don't know what version I had when I bought the phone, I rooted and flashed CM9 straight away.
Hi all, I have some trouble to restore to a stock rom. I have a debranded HOS from Vodafone Spain. I did it helped by the famous Toolkit, so it was with the bootloader unlocked, with a CWM Recovery and then I applied a stock rom by CWM (1.73 about Vodafone to 1.53 but the WWE European one). But I still wasn't happy, can't upload it by OTA and I dislike to do it manually with each new version, plus backups, etc.
Then I changed the CID to HTC Europe (HTC__001); and now the system detects a new version to update it, but when it restart to apply it appears an error during the process, something like "assert failed....... (Status 7)"
I tried also by the RUU, and this way gave me the error 155.
Somebody know if this way is available?. Change the CID and then apply the respective RUU?
Something else... I remember in my old Desire to restore everything, like factory, placing a rom into a "SD" with a especific format (depends of the model), like PG88IMG.zip. Somebody know if is possible for this newer model?
Works perfectly !! thanks for the tuto ! you saved us !
Hi,
I unlocked my desire with HTCDev so i have to flash the boot.img file every time i install a rom with a different kernel.
I was wondering if there another way, without connecting the phone to the pc, to flash this file.
I'm afraid not but i would like to be sure !
Nope, afaik not
There is a test feature on Sensation in 4EXT recovery, that allows doing it, activating bootloader upon reboot in some way.
I'm not sure if 4EXT recovery for Desire S has the same feature. Worth checking.
In any case, that's your only hope. The other way would be to relock, downgrade and S-OFF, to avoid all this unnecessary mess of flashing boot.img.
That feature doesn't work on desire s .
So the only way is via a pc using fastboot

Hi, Noob here!!!
I've been trying to install a custom ROM onto my HTC desire s , 2.00.0002, 3 branded device for 2 days now.
Super one click sticks at stage 7, tried all the deselect and reselect debugging fixes.
Done the HTCdev unlock, thinking this would help.
Tried to downgrade to use revolution, done all the zergRush and misc_version commands but nothing happens when trying to change version, still had $ in command line instead of #
I've installed Clockworkmod and can boot into recovery, have backed up, deleted and formatted and recovered succesfully.
My main question is.....Can I flash CyanogenMod without rooting?
if so, what other roms can I flash via clockworkmod?
If I have to root...how do I manage it? because I've been right round 3 circles of the net and these pages trying to find an answer!!!
Hope someone can help.
The guides here are really detailed. If you can't follow them - I suggest you leave the phone as is until you can, since you're likely to cause way more damage going down the road. And in the meantime, read the guides until you figure out what things do.

Since you have already been able to install CWM recovery, means that your device is already rooted? Check whether you have SuperUser installed, download the free version of Titanium backup and run the app once, it will tell you whether or not you are rooted. If it is, then I suggest you to follow the link below to downgrade and S-OFF your device (since you already unlocked it using HTCDev anyway).. Or you can stay S-On but i'm afraid you need to use your PC to flash the boot.img everytime you flash a ROM..
If it's not rooted, then try to root it with the same link below.. HTCDev unlock is different with root..
But locked down to 3 network is another thing, I'm afraid you need to pay to get it carrier-unlocked..

Try to follow this thread to downgrade, I was in the same situation like you before, and did almost all the downgrade threads but only this works out:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318919
Hurley, there are two methods to exploit Saga. Try both. For me, zerg method works after fail trying the other method. I think you need to relock it first if you root using htcdev. ( am not remember the steps )
After root, downgrade to the earliest RUU, yes, im on asia region, but i used euro ruu, it works. Confirm your hboot downgraded to 98 after flash ruu. Then, go on to revolutionary. S-Off for good
All guides can be found on Index Thread, at HTC Desire S Development forum. ( im on phone, cant give links )

no just flash zip file .
Nothing hard here. I've flashed 4-5 roms up to now. All running without a hiccup. Here's how you do-
Extract boot.img from the rom you are flashing
Put adb.exe, fastboot.exe, adb.dll and boot.img in a folder
Flash everything normally through recovery
And when it's done DON"T REBOOT just power off
Open up cmd, run as admin and go to your folder( cd c:\folder_name
type adb reboot bootloader
And finally fastboot flash boot boot.img
Everything should be okay.
Hi guys and girls,
I got a HTC Sensation off ebay that has been flashed incorrectly and is stuck at the HTC green text boot screen. I have successfully installed CWM but I can't seem to get the right firmware on (I am using 3.32) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618 with the stock ICS rom. The firmware says 'parsing PG58IMG' then does nothing.
I would like to use a restore image in CWM, but as the phone arrived without one I am trying to find a ready made image I can use.
- Anyone know where one is available?
Also, I can't do all the usual fastboot stuff becuse I can't enable usb debugging, so just to get it to a usable state with any rom would be great.
Please help!!
Thanks everyone
Alex

1. As you are SON you cant flash a firmware ..you need SOFF for that. Also you are having hboot 1.27 so that means you are already on 3.32 firmware ..so you can skip flashing firmware part
2. As you didnt have any nandroid backup ..start fresh and flash a custom ROM ..for flashing Custom ROM read the next point.
3. As you are SON and have HTC-DEV unlocked bootloader its better to have 4EXT recovery rather than CWM ...as it helps you in the process
Start completely fresh and flash using this guide (tip: follow it to the letter )

Thanks for the reply, but I can't start with the guide because the phone won't connect to the PC for adb access; I cant enable usb debugging because can't access the operating system menu.
All i can do at this stage is load up roms and flashes to the SD card by putting it in a card reader, then running it in phone via recovery. I am a little stuck :/

read the guide again ..whenever steps with adb commands are given ..immediately there will be a next step saying .."if you cant boot the phone then do extra 4 step"
So you can very well do all the steps if you can go to bootloader and has fastboot on your pc (usb debugging is not required either )
I've got an HTC One S [s3]. CID is HTC__622 Asia HK
I have unlocked bootloader, TWRP recovery and superSU loaded as well as Rom Manger
Tonight there is an OTA update available. So I want to use it. I downloaded it and
ran command: fastboot oem lock
and tried to run the update. It just keeps booting into my fastboot menu.
I heard that I need to install stock recovery tfor this to work but I don't know where I can find it.
I do have a reovery_signed.img file that I saved from somewhere that is 5,957 kb. Not sure if I flash that if it would give me stock recovery.
Can someone give me a direction to go. I have spent last 12 hours just reading stuff and still don't know what to do.
Htc_asia_hk Stock Recovery File
Does anyone know where I can find the stock recovery file for my One S [S3]
Its Htc_asia_hk the CID is HTC__622 ???
The beginning of the file name should look like this:
RUU_VILLEC2_U_ICS_40_HTC_ASIA_HK_
Flash stock recovery
Lock bootloader
Then run the ota update.

The problem is I didn't take a backup before I unlocked my bootloader and flashed twrp recovery so I don't have a stock recovery to go back to.
The RUU for HTC__044 has a different CID and won't work on my device unless I can extract just the stock recovery from the RUU without having to install it. Is that possible?

What you have to do is
1. Flash stock recovery
2. Lock your bootloader
3. Enter fastboot and run the RUU for your phone
Your phone will then be just as it was when you bought it and then you can run the OTA. Make sure you find the right RUU for your phone. I have been searchiing for one for days and couldnt find it. Hope this helped

How to lock bootloader?
THANK YOU!
I have a question.
I already flash 4.1.1 via OTA and use some bloody init.d script for R/W system, that doesnt work and gives me reboot after I enter into supersu app.
My question is... how can i flash 4.1.1 again (i wanna clean system, just for better feeling.) If Im using TWRP recovery? Because, ota file doesnt contain stock recovery as RUU does and I didnt find any ruu for 4.1.1 CID_032 | villec2.
sorry, for my bad english.

Hello guys,
Try this:
Step 1: relock the bootloader (start your phone in fastboot, open cmd, got to folder where are fastboot files, type "fastboot oem lock" )
Step 2: find your desired stock jb or ics online. http://filesdownload.net/showthread.php?70-HTC-One-S-(-RUU_VILLE-)-(-RUU_VILLEC2-)
Step 3: connect your phone to the pc in fastboot (make sure you have the htc drivers installed).
Step 4: run the RUU or stock file as an exe. An installation guide will follow, just follow it through.
Step 5: Now you are in stock ROM
It should work after this!
On my HTC One S [S3] , CID HTC_032 works

At least ota is there for htc__622

After I locked my bootloader and tried running the OTA update I tried a few things that didn't work.
But what did work for me was when I unlocked bootloader again
And used Hasoon's Toolkit for One S
and reflashed the recovery file. I used the recovery_signed.img file (5,957 kb) that I had saved from when I was rooting it the first time and renamed it to a one word name per Hasoon's instructions, then flashed it.
Then I relocked bootloader and did a factory reset and ran the OTA update and it worked.
I was lucky that I had that recovery file saved. Still not sure where I got it from. But one thing for sure is that it was hard to find a RUU file for my CID. Hasoon's toolkit does have links to a website with a list of RUUs on it but mine wasn't on the list.
If you want me to email you my signed_recovery.img file send me a pm with your email address and I'll send it.
