[Q] Need help my Htc desire S wouldn´t boot

Hello guys,
I have a big problem!!!! I hope you can help me!!!
I flashed my HTC Desire S (model S510e) a few weeks ago... it works wirly good
then the new Htc Sense 3.0 withe Gingerbread 2.3.5 released.
I want to flash it but I need an S-ON Hboot so I take it to S-On again.
But the problem is that I have installed an Custem rom from VirtousUnity 2.39
and now the Hboot told me *** Security Warning*** **** what should I do now?
I have it downgraded from hboot 0.98.0002 to 0.98.0000 to get S-On again.
And then I would flash the new RUU from HTC.. Now I could only boot into the bootloader and
when I want to install the RUU with the HTC utillity it told me error 140...
It was an Htc Desire with T-Mobile branding From Germany I´ve debranded it and installed VirtousUnity
with 4EXT Recovery...
Data from the DS:
Bootloader data:
*** Security Warning ***
SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-0.98.0000
RADIO-3822.09.08.20_M (from the OTA Update to HTC Sense 3.0)

but I haven´t got a adb connection (my System Windows 7)
Need Support pls
I´ve tried to install the newest RUU with an extracted rom.zip and rename it into PG88IMG.zip
but it told me "main version older"
Hope you can help me ....

You badly needed a GoldCard. I would suggest to RUU first to the latest version, 2.xx then downgrade if need be. You have already downgraded your HBOOT. The only thing your missing is RUU. But RUU is giving you an error. Now you need a GoldCard.
A lot of guides, steps, and tutorials are found on the forum. No need to place it here.

Yes I know that I need an GoldCard and I also had the cid but it won´t work ... -.- thats the problem

There are a lot of threads on how to make a GoldCard even without a phone. Check also my sig as thats the method I use. Use search for others.
No GoldCard = phone un-usable.

See index for gold card thread, see sig for link
Swyped from my Desire S using XDA Premium

Non of the suggested methods will get the CID, cause they rely on the phone being booted or adb, since the phone is booting into fastboot and no custom recovery means no adb.

same problem here ...

plz help me from last 24 hours i m not able to use my phone

Have you tried reset to the default factory, or just RUU with the right version it will overwrite all. [ROM]Shipped Pyramid ROM Collection

Try removing the memcard so that it won't try to load up the new firmware again.

already deleted PG58IMG FROM memry card,,,but main problem is i am not able to access my phone ,,,i am getting bootloops.

So you haven't yet flashed a rom - you have s-off, stock rom? If so you just need to flash the correct firmware for the rom.

[Q] Selling my One S, making it stock?

Hi. I'm selling my phone since I've bought HTC One Black. So... is there a way to erase everything and make it as it was stock?
Guess I need to do this:
1. S-Off to S-On
2. Flash this: villec2-jb-crc-3.4.10-055bd56.zip from http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads
3. Remove root
?
I just received an OTA update but it can't be installed, so therefore I want to make it stock so that the new user won't experience any problems...

Your are S-OFF?
So you need to follow this instrucition:
http://androidforums.com/one-s-all-things-root/691213-how-get-back-stock-facepalm-s-off.html

Some phones early phones were shipped S-Off. You do not need to S-Off. Just go back to stock and change the bootloader back to locked.

You have a stock bootloader. I take it you mean a stock recovery. Google HTC Ville S4 Stock Recovery and explore.

flash stock recovery, relock bootloader and run the ruu.
if the ruu makes any problems while your phone is up, try to boot into fastboot usb and run the ruu again.
dont forget to run the ruu as admin and be sure you have the latest htc sync drivers installed.
good luck

You have to update your HBOOT in order to flash 3.16.401.8 RUU, I've got problems flashing this RUU too. You need hboot 2.15 for this, if you're s-off you can easy update it following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39216236&postcount=274 remember to change your CID to SUPER CID: 11111111 or you may have issues flashing hboot.

yeah it's kind a bug you get stuck at 75%, just type in prompt command:
adb reboot bootloader
you should boot into bootloader and see the new hboot version.

[Q] Restore to stock rom

Hi,
This is the information on my htc desire s:
SAPA PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-6.98.1002
RADIO-3831.19.00.110
eMMC-boot
What I did was try to update the ROM to ICS using RUU_SAGA_ICS_35_S_HTC_EU_14.01.401.2_20.76.30.0835_3831.19.00.110_275068 (will this work on Asia? I'm from Philippines). Now it says that its complete and will reboot the phone. After the HTC logo comes out it just go to black screen. I tried again the process by going to fastboot but still no luck.
MY questions are:
1. Will that RUU work for Asia Philippines? The RUU File name says EUROPE.
2. How can I restore my stock ROM? How?
Thanks!
