Hi there,
it's my fist post here so please do not shoot on sight if I did post in the wrong section. Also, I searched before posting if someone had the exact same problem and didn't find anything conclusive so here goes :
I have a unbranded Desire S which I sucessfully S-OFFed (HBOOT 2) a while ago, then installed 4Ext Recovery and rooted with success.
Now I reckon I am a bit tired of waiting for the ICS update from HTC, so what the heck, I decided i'd try some custom ROMs.
I did a full backup of all partitions using 4ext recovery and then wiped the data, cache and dalvik cache as most ROMs require.
I then proceeded to flash 3 different ROMs with the same unfortunate result : The flashing is always successful, and upon reboot I am just stuck on the HTC boot screen forever.
Then I have to turn the phone off (vol up+vol down + power) then remove the battery and put it back, and have to boot into recovery to continue from there.
After the same thing happened with the 3 ROMs (Fallout 4.4, Vanilla ICE 2 and IceColdSandwich) I just restored my initial backup and then the phone booted back to the original ROM without problems.
What could have I done wrong please ? What can I try next to make a custom ROM work ?
Thanks for your expertise !
Are you HTC dev unloced? or S-Off after downgrade?
I had a similar problem with my Desire S. It was a while ago but I finished up formatting my SDcard to FAT32. Used gparted to delete all partitions, then make one FAT32.
You can use gparted from the live CD or as I did rebooted PC with the CD, download here
I use Reaper v3.0 ROM which is very stable.
Hope this helps

I now entered 4ext recovery, cleared cache and wiped data, flashed the ROM, then rebooted into hboot and switched to fastboot mode. then plugged the USB and ran the command
fastboot flash boot boot.img
with the boot.img file extracted from the ROM's zip.
Rebooting did work and I now saw a different logo (HTC One since the ROM was ported from there) and then the phone booted into Android.
Thanks Skanob !
Flash boot.img from fastboot

How to fix this problem once and for all
I have the exact same problem
Also did the htcdev unlock then superoneclick root.
Is there any way to fix it so that it flashes the boot.img on automatically when you flash a ROM?

Htcdev doesn't s-off, it unlocks boot loader but you're still s-on
The forum contains all the information, read the index
So you need to relock

I can boot into recovery and have tried to flash another rom already but it stays in bootloop, also tried flashing different kernal and still doesn't work.
Tried to start from the beginning using cmd etc (adb etc) but cmd can't find a device when using the command adb devices.

Hi!
I too am stuck in a bootloop trying to flash CM10.
The problem is I thought I needed CWM to flash the firmware and am now stuck with the CM10 logo when I try and reboot the phone.
Doing more reading 4ext seems to be required to fully wipe the phone rather than CWM
I've found PG58IMG.zip which is recognised when I boot into recovery, but not apparently installed. Perhaps not surprisingly CWM won't install the zip.
Does anyone have any ideas what I can do to the installation?
Thanks

Hi,
Firmware is not dependent on a particular recovery.
4 EXT is a better choice ,because it gives you more options.
What PG58IMG.zip were you trying to flash?
S-on/off?
hboot?
radio?
ROM?
Kernel?
etc
etc

More information is required...
Getting past the bootloop
After my plea for help yesterday regarding the bootloop after I had tried to update my HTC Sensation, I eventually found the answer to my problem. Also the response I had yesterday raised some questions which I note at the end
.
Firstly I was trying to update my stock firmware HTC Sensation to CM10; the build I was using was the AOKP / Kang build by bruce2728 dated 16th November as that seemed to be being actively maintained and the functionality I required was reportedly working fine. I read the rather cursory instructions and given I’ve updated several Android tablets before I thought this will be easy. FAIL!
I’ll document elsewhere the process I followed, however the problem I had was when I tried to apply the CM10 image using CWM. It seemed to write successfully but when I came to reboot the phone it was stuck in a boot loop with the cyanogenmod logo stuck on the screen until I pulled the battery out. I couldn’t install 4ext using the play store app as I’d trashed the android installation.
I eventually replace CWM with 4ext by downloading the correct recovery image to my PC (from the third post of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1666401, note that the recovery image is different for different phones and possibly operator.)
I then started the phone in bootloader (noting the phone was S-ON), plugged in the USB connection and pressed the power button, so fastboot was selected and then Fastboot usb was displayed on the phone.
From a command prompt on the PC after changing to the directory where I had placed fastboot and adb I typed “fastboot recovery recovery.img” and this replaced CWM with 4ext.
After rebooting the phone and getting back into the bootloader, I selected recovery. This time 4ext started. Before writing the new Android image I wiped user data and (I think it was in tools once you scrolled to the bottom) selected “enable 4ext superflash” before flashing the ROM and Google Apps and then successfully rebooting the phone. For reference the phone took less than 5 minutes to start up.
I now think my problem was trying to flash the ROM with S-ON and not using 4-ext superflash. Oh well
Following on from the response from malybru (Thanks)
Does writing a new rom change the radio? I’d understood it remained the same unless you made special efforts to change it and you were likely to wipe out the phone?
Thanks again
Kevin
maybe i am wrong but radio can be changed only when you are flashing different firmware and to do that you have to be S-OFF

Hi,
Flashing a ROM does NOT change the radio.
In fact,you cannot change the radio or firmware if you are s-on.
"Smartflash" is what I would have suggested if you had 4 EXT recovery and s-on.
It is all well documented HERE

Hi there,
Sorry for my bad english. I've looked for a answer but I don't understand all of solution :/
I'm on a mac and I have a Sensation Xe (Europe) S-On.
When I've change MIUI to Cyanogenmod. My mobil phone change the rom and bug with the kernel O_O ?
Now I got the bad Kernel for the room :S and the phone doesn't boot (stop at bootscreen).
I got the same problem if I try to install a new room by the boot loader.
At this time I want to back on the factory room and Kernel for my facility.
But the .exe of RUU doesn't work on mac (of course). And when I try on a windows; I connect the phone to the computer with boot tools but it's not work.
Sorry, I think it's not the first time someone ask this question but too much result to find the good way to do that

You need HTC driver for the phone to work on windows.
Anyway, the problem is that since you're S-On, you need to flash the kernel manually. You place it in the same directory as adb and fastboot (I don't know if you have it on mac, I guess that yes, or else use windows), and when booted to fastboot (on the bootloader), type the following command:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Where boot.img is the name of the kernel of the ROM (it's inside the .zip of the ROM).
Alternatively, if you have 4EXT recovery (and if you don't, I suggest you get it), enable smartflash, and then you will be able to flash ROMs regularily.
Good luck.

Hi,
It's not possible to use 4ext, because the phone doesn't boot. he's stop at the boot loader.
I've try with adb for mac but I think I don't do the good command to flash by adb the kernel
ADB does not work, you have to use fastboot! Just follow the instructions by astar26. Connect your phone to your PC/mac and type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and then "fastboot flash boot boot.img"

Hi, I'm trying to flash a Cyanogenmod ROM for a friend on his HTC Sensation Z710e (rooted, bootloader unlocked) - my own phone is an Xperia Ray so I'm not too familiar with the process. Do I need to flash the Kernel before I flash the ROM? What's the best way to do it? If it's a matter of following the process you outlined above then I'm afraid I can't really follow it - I really need an idiot-proof 'how-to' guide I'm afraid, like I said, I'm a total noob when it comes to the HTC Sensation.
Hope you can help.

astar26 explained how it works. If the sensation of your friend has 4ext recovery use smartflash, if twrp use htc dumlock then you don't need to flash the kernel seperately.

To flash a ROM on the Sensation:
Go to recovery
(Wipe. Then) flash the .zip of the ROM
That's it. There is, however, a catch for S-ON devices. HTC hasn't allowed flashing of /boot from recovery. This means that, for S-ON devices, the kernel cannot be flashed.
The best way around this is to use 4ext recovery. It has a option called Smartflash. That will flash your kernel even if you're S-ON.
(Some roms, like ViperS 3.1.x require an additional kernel flasher as SmartFlash doesn't work there).
The other way is to manually flash the boot image (kernel). Go to fastboot USB (this is NOT ADB), and execute:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
The boot.img is your new boot image.
Thanks for the reply!
We've already tried flashing the ROM as normal [using ROM Manager] but it doesn't work.
1. How do I know the device is 'S-on?' or not? Can it be changed? What's 'S-on' anyway?
2. Do you have a link handy for that recovery system you mentioned that allows flashing of kernels?
3. I haven't a clue how to manually flash the boot image - with my Xperia Ray I just use the Sony flash tool and fastboot. Can you give me an idiot's guide to doing this?

Ah, I see:
Power off and pull out the battery. Press Power + Vol down. Once the bootloader screen comes up it'll either say S-ON or S-OFF.
For flashing ROMs S-ON use this (also includes 4ext recovery). Read about S-ON here.
Just use smartflash (see link in 1). For the special cases I mentioned in previous post (no smartflash), just see the ROM's thread for S-ON flashing.
Note that if you want just want to flash ROMs the above method is good. For S-OFF, either use this, in case you followed above steps, or use this, in case you want to S-OFF first. S-OFF is not needed for flashing ROMs.
htc sensation z710e wifi problem
Hello friends!
Two months I have a problem with my HTC SENSATION! The problem is due to wifi,I read many forums about this problem, I tried many solutions, but without success! I assumed that the problem is due to "wifi country code". I tried this solution "WiFix Manager", but did not help.
I tried this option http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1469428,
because my phone is unlocked with HTCdev, back to factory rom 2.3.3 hboot 1.17.11 to be able to achieve S-OFF method revolutionary s-off.
I did everything, but after a while the problem still occurs. The only way to fix it is by re-install the Rom again.Most often breaks when I restart phone while is connected to the wifi network,when my phone starts, this wifi error appears.I can not write scripts or fix them, so I can not do this option: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2368501 . My phone is from England, Orange UK is the operator of which is purchased,I do not know if there is any difference!? And now my phone is rooted, revolutionary s-off, got super CID, 4ext recovery....
What else do I need to have no more this wifi problem?
I'm not very good at Development or haking, so if someone can explain to me what to do to solve my problem, I would appreciate it!
I just want to install "Revelation 1.0.3" and only use it! I am from Bulgaria by the way.

Hello,
I'm new here but today I tried to root my phone and put CM10 on it. Rooting was not that hard but with flashing the rom I had some problems. I used a tutorial from youtube "Htc One s jellybean 4.2.2 Nightly Cm10.1 Rom" and did everything as he said but when I tried to boot CM it came in a boot loop so I restored my backup and everything was back normal again. But I thought i'll give it another try so I did that and it still didn't work so I restored (via recovery) and at the end it said: It appears your phone isn't rooted do you wanna do it now...(or something like that)? I found that a bit strange but I clicked yes but now if I boot up my phone first you just see "HTC - quietly brilliant" and then the red letters come beneath it saying its a developers version. I Couldn't do anything so I jumped into my bootloader and did factory reset but now everything is gone and I still have that booting problem,
I can acces bootloader and recovery mode but that's it
I really need my phone soon and don't have much time to look on the internet for solutions so could you please help me?
Thanks in advance!!

Do you have the RUU for your phone? Maybe that would be the quick fix to take it back to stock. You can use an RUU that's equal or newer than what you have currently.
BTW: I went through this as well.

Which hboot version and radio?
Cm10 uses 3.4.x kernel, it won't boot with old firmware

Hboot : 2.15.000

Then it can be a bad download. If not I I'm out of ideas

Do you remember doing any of the following?
-wipe data/factory reset
-wipe dalvik cache
I think that was my problem that I didn't wipe the cache completely. Possibly a bad download too. Do a search on md5. It's basically a check to see if your download is ok before flashing.
As far the RUU is concerned, it will take you back to stock. You will need the info that appears when you start the phone up by holding down VOL DOWN and POWER. Hold down volume down, then press the power for a second or 2. Then it will boot up into HBOOT.
Write down the info that appears and search for a matching RUU equal or newer.
What is the carrier???

I did the factory reset, dalvik cache and cache wipe. When I tried to install CM it indeed said unable to find md5 or something like that.
I think I have a europe version and looked for fitting RUU but the numbers are completely different maybe you could find a good RUU? (See attachement) Btw I have S4/Ville/Z520e
CID
Could you please read out your CID? Then we can get right RUU.
You can do this by booting your One S into fastboot mode and use the toolkit from the link:

yes thats it
This should be the right RUU http://www.androidruu.com/getdownload.php?file=Ville/RUU_Ville_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.16.401.8_Radio_1.11.50.05.28_10.27.50.08L_release_301814_signed_2_4.exe
MAY anyone who reads this confirm it? Just to be safe at all.
btw. "HTC_E11" = unbranded Netherlands
Due to you're S-ON you will have to relock your bootloader to perform a RUU update.

For RUU you need stock recovery and "locked" BL. Please read the guide again and only proceed, if you're sure you got it.
Another question:
You said you got a working recovery? Which version do you use? And have you tried install another custom rom.zip? That would be more easy and safe to you. May be your storage got corrupted and thats why your phone crashed and you can't install the rom.zip stored on the sd-card. You could connect the phone to your pc as mass storage via recovery, format it and put a new customrom.zip on it. By the way, why you installed such an old rom? You can use CM11 for sure

In that guide it doesn't say anything about a relocked bootloader.
I do have a working recovery but how can I get a zip file on it? I can't acces the files of my phone in windows explorer or something like that. Also I don't know if I have a stock recovery but if I don't I have to install that via a zip but how can I get that on my phone...?

PLS boot in recovery mode and tell me what "version" it is You should find it. If you're not sure about it, you can flash a new recovery before installing a rom. Whe you have a working custom recovery you can mount your sd-card to your computer via recovery.

The problem is, we're talking about an HTC One S which DOESN"T have a SD Card slot...
Hi guys,
My phone now is on LeeDroid custom ROM (Build 1.03.401.6.9_g CL923215)
What are the steps to return the htc u11 to stock please?
The original software number of my phone is: 1.11.400.4
EDIT: I went to: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72425224&postcount=5
& downloaded stock recovery & nandroid TWRP backup (for 1.11.400.4).
However, I couldnt flash that nandroid TWRP from TWRP recovery.
Long story short, I just got the phone today, I made a big mistake by not inserting the simcard in & testing to see if the phone working or not.
So, I went straight through the process of unlocking bootloader, installing TWRP, Rooting, Installing custom ROM without making a nandroid backup.
For all that, the phone did not recognize the sim cards (tried both my sim & my gf's sim. not working)
The store will take back the phone as long as I return it to stock.
Thanks for your help!!!

You'll need to download the stock rom for your verison (ruu). Hopefully one is available. Check the guide section here.

Restore the TWRP backup, check everything is working, then flash stock recovery if you need to. The stock Nandroid should include recovery asfaik. I'm more of a trial and error guy lol. Read guide pages to know for certain, check HTC 10 guides, same steps.

Get the one from here and follow instructions. That's what the thread is for. https://forum.xda-developers.com/u11/how-to/collection-htcu-u11-ruu-firmware-t3612048. Sorry i don't have time to do the leg work for you (i'm out atm), but it's all there.
download this Official RRU firmware and install it https://forum.xda-developers.com/u11/how-to/unlocked-htc-u11-software-update-6-19-t3624814
Use the ruu, you might need the HTC drivers but in the future never not make a backup, 15 mins could save u a major headache

Your going to need a full signed RUU zip matching your original firmware and CID buddy.
Based on your original build number its an Indian dual SIM device so here is the ruu:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634780026
1. Rename it to 2PZCIMG.zip
2. Lock your bootloader
3. Drop the zip on your external SD card.
3. Boot to download mode, at that point you will be prompted to flash... Accept... Profit.
If you don't have an external SD.
1. Lock your bootloader.
2. Boot to download mode.
3. Open a cmd window and run the below commands.
fastboot orm rebootRUU (hit enter)
fastboot flash zip (drag the zip into the cmd window then hit enter)

On the PC side, what was the exact error message?
you can ignore the warning from the phone side.
I had a similar issue the other day, but then I was able to run the RUU upgrade to rest my phone back to stock as I had to ship it back for a refund, to get the new Red ones
When I ran the RUU thing it wouldn't detect the phone, did a few things, and then it was finally able to detect the phone.
and when it started updating the Boot image it hung for a long while, I had to restart the phone back into download mode, then run the RUU again, and it was able to continue from there.
