I know people really don't like it when questions are asked that they could of solved in like two minutes, But im really sorry guys Ive been doing everything in my power to fix this and I cant. Well when I rooted my Inspire 4g I thought it was rooted so I put TWRP on there and erased my stock (I forgot to save the backup) and installed a ROM, That Didn't start for like an hour so I turned it off and went to bed. I keep on trying things to get my ROM to work and to avail it stops. When I tried it again to install It installed again but when i rebooted I got the HTC Screen then fade to black, I honestly have been trying everything from fastboot, Trying to get programs to work, Trying to flash in RUU Trying to flash PD98IMG and Everything I could look on Google and Think of in my head...Nothing is working. i know you need a S-off to flash roms...but I cant find a way to turn it off because all I can access right now is recovery (Im not on Clockwork). SO I hate to ask...But can you guys help? D: Please, Im sorry, and Thank you.
Heres how my Hboot screen looks like:

You don't need S-Off to flash ROMs. You do need to re-unlock. Then, every time you flash a ROM, you need to fastboot flash the boot.img from the ROM zip.

First, thanks for your fast reply.
The phone was working fine (locked to t-mobile)
So I tried with CM 10.1, and was fine.
everything was ok.
when I get the unlock code, CM doesn't accept it, so I have to go back to stock rom.
and that's the problem,
after many many tries the phone stay looping on CyanogenMod load screen.
anyway it can stay on fastboot mode, so.... how to go back to stock? from this point?
thanks again.

what to do?

PS: just one more question the inspire 4g sound is too weak, is it normal?
You don't need S-Off to flash ROMs. With S-On, you need to fastboot flash the boot.img from inside the ROM zip.

Does the boot.img need to be in a zip folder? If the answer is yes, then does that folder need to have a specific name?
I'm stuck on the HTC splash screen and been looking at this so much that I'm crosseyed now. I have been to umpteengillion forums (actually the same ones over and over that my searches take me to) I'm been trying to read and do this on my own. I feel like I most likely need help now.
Any help is apperciated

Understandable. I thought about using mini-adb. I'm not sure what the best option is. I'm still reading and doing research on getting the s-off. Any feedback u might have is appreciated, as always. :good:

There's a manual S-Off method available on attn1's AAHK website. It explains how to do what AAHK used to do automatically, manually.

What exactly is s-off
Hi all,
I understand that s-on means that when you flash a rom, you also have to flash the kernel manually from fastboot, but I wanted to know what exactly is s-off/s-on. From my reading and googling it seems like it's the HTC sync function, how does this impede the flashing of a kernel? I'm interested in the under the hood stuff as well as well so it'd be nice to gain some insight into this.
It is not the HTC Sync function. The HTC Sync application merely installs the adb and fastboot drivers (I mean, it does other stuff too, but that's all that really matters in this context). I think S-On means Security On. Certain partitions can't be flashed from recovery (boot) or at all (radio). S-Off is Security Off. All partitions flashable.
Hi guys please help me.
I tried to flash my fone with this rom. :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2438840
I do everything i think. But now my phone didnt start and restarting several times. now i can see boot and enter fastboot,
its unlocked and hboot 2.14.
i try recover and reset and wipe and every thing. please help me get my phone back.
how could i flash from fastboot with usb?
What recovery and version?
S-off or S-on. If S-on, you need to extract boot.img from the ROM package, and flash using fastboot every time you flash a ROM.
And searching would have found this answer, there are hundreds of threads detailing this.

You should not be flashing anything, if you don't even know what recovery you've installed. Boot into recovery, does it say TEAMWIN when recovery starts up? If so, it will say what version number at the top of the menu screen.

So you can't get into recovery at all? My suggestion is to run the 3.18 RUU and leave it stock until you understand what you're doing.

The vague description of what you did either means:
1) You are too lazy to tell us exactly what steps you did. Which makes it hard to help, since we need as much information as possible, or
2) You don't actually remember what you did, which is disturbing. It suggests a poor understanding of what you are doing, and/or trying things in hurry, without keeping track of what you did.
You need to tell us in detail, step by step what you have tried to this point.
You've likely messed up recovery by doing something you shouldn't have. I tend to agree with timmaaa to just return to stock until you have a better understanding of what you are doing.
Thank you

Hi guys
I've looked everywhere for a solution. Maybe someone know another post that I might've missed.
My phone won't start, it keeps rebooting to the white HTC screen.
Right, now to the problem. Before this problem I had a custom ROM installed (Carbon 4.3) which was getting a few errors so I decided to restore it with clockworkmod from a previous backup. Now what this did is turned the device to ****Locked**** and S-ON .
So what I did next is use HTCDEV to unlock it. Well that bit worked but it's still S-ON.
Now it shows

I can still go in to Recovery and use the 4EXT recovery Touch (v1.0.0.4 RC3) and i managed to wipe everything including the SD as I already backed it up. After I installed a custom ROM (Blitz 4.0). Everything went well, finished installing successfully. After a reboot the phone won't start to the OS. It keeps looping to the White HTC screen (without even vibrating every time it reboots). So I can install any ROM but can't boot into it.
I even re-partitioned my SD thinking that the mSD was the issue but no luck.
Any particular advice how can I fix this?
Many thanks!
Go to recovery---> tools--->enable smart flash
And flash Rom it will work
OR
flash boot from Rom by fastboot command
fastboot flash boot boot.img
For kitkat Rom update 4ext recovery to latest o think its rc 6

Hi and thanks for quick reply.
I've tried the first method (but no luck)
Although second one worked like a charm! :good: Thanks for that. Now my next question is: If I want to install another ROM will it make the same problem? If yes then how do I get the from S-ON to S-OFF? Will the Revolutionary Utility help ,me or mess it up?

just to know enable smartflash exactly before flashing the rom
and yes you will have to do the same if smartflash fail again
if you want to S-OFF you have to flash stock rom first
then follow this guide

Thanks rzr86. Will think about it before I'll S-OFF. I'm happy that I got it working again. Plus I don't use it anymore. It's my wife's phone now. Just wanted to flash a new ROM and pass it on to her and that poo happened. :cyclops: Now it's back to life.
