[Q] Possible brick getting back to stock

Hi everyone. I need help because I'm stuck in bootloader with the ***Security Warning*** on top. I was trying to get back to stock for warranty.
I had Fallout rom, so I flashed hboot following this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1460713
and then I ran the ruu I used for downgradng earlier, named RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.11_M_release_177977_signed.exe
that's when troubles started, the procedure aborted with the error 140 Bootloader version error, and now I can't get it recognised via adb ( command adb devices) and I don't know what to do.
The hboot says:
*** Security Warning ***

It seems that you missed to change your main version (misc_version)
See your current version with "fastboot getvar version-main" and use a RUU with the same or higher version

Even it adb devices doesn't recognise the phone?

Of course it will not. It works only in custom recovery or booted OS with USB Debugging enabled.
Use the fastboot command from my previous post in bootloader. It has to be in FASTBOOT USB mode

[Q] HELP! Way in over my head... trying to flash recovery.

So I recently purchased the T-Mobile version of the HTC-Sensation... since then I've been trying to flash a custom JellyBean ROM onto my device. I've rooted and flashed custom roms on previous phones but the process for this one has been extremely confusing. I've been mainly following this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1864053 I have the bootloader unlocked and I think I have S-Off, now I'm trying to flash a recovery image with the KSG utility but gives me a bunch of error messages that say FILE NOT FOUND - FASTBOOT.LOG and ACCESS DENIED and FILE NOT FOUND - ABD.LOG. I'm sorry if this is in the forum somewhere, but I've been working on this for hours and I can't figure this out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Additional Details: I'm running Android 2.3.4
When I boot into the bootloader it says

I unlocked the bootloader but got stuck trying to S-off. Everything was going fine until the part where I run the temp_root.bat because I cannot get HTC sync to recognize my phone no matter what I try. I was wondering if anyone had the original version that came on the SD card or if there is a way to gain S-off without using HTC sync? Or can I get Jellybean without gaining S-off? Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm pretty new this and feeling way in over my head here.

You are already s-off ,if you want to flash custom Rom flash 3.33 universal firmware (be careful when flashing check the md5 sum) after that flash 4ext recovery and flash new rom
Edit here is link for 3.33 firmware. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767.
sent from HTC Sensation 4G

@EmporerD
first you don't need a htc sync..
second your phone is already success s-off..you can see that in your bootloader state..
now i think maybe you already forgot the step to remove temp root from your phone after success s-off process..you can do that by running temp_root_remove.bat from the guide that you follow above..
after you had remove temp root from your phone..then you can continued to flashing a 3.33 firmware.. to do that..
just download firmware file from here....then copied that PG58IMG.zip file to the root directory of your sd card (the root directory mean is don't place it that file in any folder..just place it in your sdcard) you can copied that file with card reader..after that just put in back your sd card to the phone...then boot into bootoader..and wait until bootloader check it that file then ask you to updating it...just confirm it yes with vol up button..then wait until finish and ask you to confirm reboot with press power button..
after that you can continued installing custom recovery..
just download custom recovery.img file from here and extracted that zip file then copied that recovery.img file to your adb/sdk folder (the same place as your adb.exe and fastboot.exe folder)..then you flashing it through FASTBOOT with fastboot command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"..done..now your phone already had a custom recovery..that are can installing any custom rom...
hope this help..

THANKYOU guys. This helps a lot. I'm going to call it a night for a now, but I will try your advice tomorrow and post updates.

@JJeamy
So I tried to remove the temproot by running the temproot-remove batch file, it didn't do anything so I downloaded the PG58IMG.zip and updated it in the bootoader, now phone is stuck in a bootloop...?
Update: I tried to continue with flashing the custom recovery, but the dialog just gets stuck on "waiting for device" ...
Update 2: Installing the older drivers for fixed the problem of flashing the recovery so my recovery works but it's still stuck in bootloop. Unfortunately I will probablyrun out of time before I can get a custom ROM flashed, but thanks everyone for your help I will update my progress later.

You are on the right path my friend you flashed 3.33 firmware so you hboot version is 1.27 that's way you experiance bootloop , because you have gb rom with ics hboot, so next step is to flash custom recovery!
To do that you need to have SDK files downloaded (Fastboot , adb files) and when you have that in the folder you got the files you copy your recovery img and that you open command window from there and you get your phone to fastboot (bootloader that fasboot) , that you write the command in the command window fasboot flash recovery recovery.img and you are done!
EDIT: here is guide how to find fastboot and Adb files you need http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1152148
and for flasing custom recovery follow this guide step 2 flashing recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861
after that flash rom
and when you flash your first rom do format everything except sd card before flashing, (and make sure the first rom you flash is not kitkat because you may experiance difficulties when flashing)

So I managed to get recovery going, and I flashed CM 11 with 4.4 with no issue. : D

[Q] Softbricked (Unlocked Bootloader, S-ON, HBOOT 2.22)

While in TWRP I formatted and cleared my system. So now I have no OS on my device.
It is a mistake I won't make again. There is no need to tell me how stupid it was.
I have tried a lot of things people have posted here, but I can't seem to get anything to work.
Here's my HBOOT:

I've tried this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2730910
except using adb push instead of USB OTG.
On TWRP 2.7.0.0, I had a problem where it said that /system could not be mounted. I could not mount it manually
So I switched to CWM_6.0.4.3. It says it installs fine, but then when I restart, it removes CWM from recovery (I have to flash it again) and it gets stuck at the white htc screen when I boot (even if I flash the boot img of the zip)
I've used adb push to put this on the sdcard:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2616780
Both V_2 and V_3 seem to do fine in CWM until about 40% on the loading bar where they get stuck indefinitely
I tried RUU but I got error 99, which I think is because I have S-ON.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi
From what I read here, Hboot 2.22 uses the new partition layout.
Please read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2713849 how to determinate if you have it or not.
With the new layout, you have to use TWRP 2.7.0.5
greetings
Didier

Thanks
Awesome! Thank you so much

I have read many forums threads and tried many things and still im stuck at boot screen- HTC
There is a recovery ; clockwork mod recovery v5.0.2.0

Hey,
I have the same problem (up to the last digit)
What I found out is, that you have to relock the phone
Code:
fastboot oem lock

Now we should be able to install a Stock ROM RUU - I am still looking for one that fits.
...and start all over.
What I did to get into this trouble:
- made some experience with an old Motorola Defy and a Samsung Galaxy S3
- got this HTC Desire S with german Telekom branding
- said: " oh no problem, I'll fix you old phone for you." <-- first mistake
- installed the drivers (HTC Sync)
- updated latest android SDK
- used fastboot to unlock <-- second mistake?
- installed ClockworkMod
- rebooted and recognized the T-Branding before the recovery screen coming up
- ignored it <-- third mistake
- OS crash

That worked!!
Relocken and then the right RUU
And the phone goes on!
I had to try 2 different RUU before it worked.
THANKS A LOT
