[Q] Help with ROM needed (maybe trivial ...) - HTC Desire S

Oh my ... I have now spent sure 6 or 7 hours trying to figure this out. If anybody could help me, please ?
This is not my first attempt at root, and I have been succesful with my HTC Wildfire S and installed various Custom ROMs on that, all fine.
Now I have a Desire S, that I managed to unlock (UNLOCKED), which is still S-ON, and, from all I can tell, rooted (superuser app does not complain about anything), I had installed 4EXT on the HTC Sense Stock rom that came with the phone, and that installed fine and no complaints.
HBOOT is 2.02.0002, which many people say requires downgrading, but then in other places it is said, this is not strictly necessary.
Now the following:
The ONLY recovery I have been able to install is recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-saga.img (using adb flash recovery ... under ubuntu 12.04).
That seems to go well, and the CM recovery comes up fine and I can do backups and so on. If I try to flash 4EXT_Recovery_Touch_v1.0.0.5_RC5 or RC9 and go into recovery, the phone remains stuck in the white boot screen (Telekom branding, it seems). Oh well ... so no 4EXT and back to CM. No problem, just strange.
Now, with S-ON it SHOULD be possible to install custom ROMs, like flinnycm101_saga_22.zip. so i pushed this onto /sdcard, and also extracted the boot.img from this zip. In recovery I can install the .zip seemingly fine, no errors, and then, since this is S-ON, I
sudo adb flashboot flash boot flinnycm101_saga_22.img
(i renamed it from boot.img to that to keep track, should not be a problem, right?). and that goes over well, too. I do not know how many times I have already erased cache, dalvik, factory, battery. all to no avail. when i reboot the phone remains stuck in the white boot screen. at least i would have expected to get the CM spash screen (like that rotating wheel or something like that), but that may not be a problem.
I have tried a few other roms (devilkin 11.0 and carbon) with this method. same, same ...
I really don't know ... sheesh ... any ideas ? And if it boils down to downgrading: can I do that on ubuntu ? All the guides I have found so far required Windows.
Sorry ... clearly I am not a developer. If somebody could nudge me into the right direction ? I am quite happy to do my homework, but not really sure anymore where else to look. This SHOULD work, from all I found in the internet.
And ... I hope this is not the wrong forum. If so, really sorry ...
1000 thanks

From what I see you done it as needed.
First for recovery try find 4ext touch 1.0.0.6 RC1 and try to flash via fastboot ( fastboot flash recovery recovery.img).If you don't get in try TWRP 2.7.0.0 by devil-kin you got it in this forum.
About white screen you should check your display.There's sony and hitachi.If you have sony then you are good and something else is problem but hitachi is problem bc you need MDDI capable kernel or use only CM 7 or older roms.
Read this about that problem http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1943524

Hello!
I find it strange that you're experiencing so many issues while for everybody else things are just fine. I'm not trying to accuse you of anything, it just makes me think that your problems are likely to be on your end...
You don't need to do anything with your hboot, it's fine
Are you sure that flashing www.4ext.net/ddl/saga/recovery.zip using
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
doesn't work?
sudo adb flashboot flash boot flinnycm101_saga_22.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This is wrong - should be:
Code:
flashboot flash boot flinnycm101_saga_22.img
But first try:
Code:
flashboot boot flinnycm101_saga_22.img
That will just boot the image from RAM without flashing it to /boot. I recommend trying this out first with this ROM - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240592 - because that ROM is known good. If that works then we know the procedure you use is OK and you can then try to flash a ROM you actually like.
Note that AOSP roms may be problematic, because they only work with sony panels. We can check whether you have a sony or a hitachi panel once you have a ROM booting properly. (Unless there is a fastboot command that can tell you this that I'm not aware of.)
And ... I hope this is not the wrong forum. If so, really sorry ...

all right. thanks. i found that recovery and did
sudo fastboot flash recovery 4EXT_Recovery_Touch_v1.0.0.6_RC1.img
when i go into recovery then, again nothing ... phone is stuck in the white screen. sorry. with white screen i meant the splash screen, which is white on my phone, but has the telecom logo. so i think the screen is allright.
so i pulled the battery and back to cwm (flashed the cms recovery and voila).

tdDDAAA !!!
So I installed the SVHD .zip with TWRP 2.6 (see above) and that did go nowhere yet.
But I then extracted the saga boot image from that zip kernel/saga/boot.img, renamed that to avoid confusions, and then
<code>
fastboot boot "SVHD v2.1.0 by mygamers (saga).img"
</code>
And my Telekom splash screen blinks up, then the HTC sense (quietly brilliant), and some 3 minutes later ... it worked.
Flashing
<code>
fastboot flash boot "SVHD v2.1.0 by mygamers (saga).img"
</code>
MY guess is it was the reformatting to ext4 ... is that something I should have done all along ? Or any other idea ?

Now you have a working phone, you can check which panel type you have, I suspect that has been your problem all along.

One more thing:
On the link you provided the instructions are given as follows, and i am not 100% clear on everything:
1) Wipe all data
2) Flash your custom ROM
3) Get your MDDI compatible kernel and flash it
--> IF (and only IF) you've this error when flashing kernel in recovery: assert failed:write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img","boot"):
--> 3a) extract boot.img from custom rom ZIP and put it in the adb directory on your PC
--> 3b) reboot in fastboot mode
--> 3c) execute from PC: fastboot flash boot.img
--> 3d) reboot in recovery and retry to flash your new kernel
--> 3e) Now, flashing kernel is completed and you can continue to Step 4)
4) Get new boot.img: in recovery, attach USB cable and run from PC terminal --> adb pull /tmp/newboot.img (it will trasfer generated boot.img to your PC) <--
5) On your PC rename newboot.img file to boot.img
6) Reboot in fastboot mode
7) Install new boot.img (from PC terminal execute --> fastboot flash boot.img <--)
So I
- in twrp i installed cm-10.1-20130709-UNOFFICIAL-saga.zip (blindnnumb cm-10.1, penultimate version. the very last version does not unzip, no matter how many times i download it)
- then flashed fastboot flash boot cm-10.1-20130709-UNOFFICIAL-saga.img
- then flashed fastboot flash boot saga_mddi_291212.img (from your link)
- i pulled newboot.img and then flashed newboot.img
and i am stuck again ... but maybe i did not totally understand the instruction from above ? i.e. 2). do i need to install the zip and the img ?
also in line 7) the command seems to be wrong. right ?

If you already have a boot.img for the mddi kernel, all you have to do is:
1) flash rom zip file in recovery
2) flash mddi kernel zip in recovery
3) flash mddi kernel boot.img in fastboot
The special instructions for s-on are only needed if you have the kernel zip without the boot.img

Oh my ... that did not go either. Now I flashed
cm-10-20121116-EXPERIMENTAL-saga-NK111.zip
saga_kernel_82n_4.0_4.1.zip (which does not seem to produce a newboot.img, and does not have a boot.img either)
that, at least, brings up the spinning clockworkmod wheel ... but then that's that, too ...
oh well ... i guess SENSE it is gonna be then ...

Didn't you read the warning at the top of the hitachi panel thread? It said:
WARNING!
ALL THE LATEST 4.1.x AND 4.2.x ROMS DO NOT SUPPORT HITACHI SCREEN PANELS, EVEN AFTER APPLYING THE CORRECT MDDI KERNEL!
THIS APPLIES TO ROMS THAT ARE BASED ON AOSP, AOKP, CyanogenMod, ParanoidAndroid, PAC-Man, etc., AND ROMS THAT ARE BASED ON MIUI
THE LAST CUSTOM ROM THAT DOES SUPPORT MDDI PANELS IS CyanogenMod 10.1 Build 13 by Flinny, SO THE DATE WHEN BUILD 13 WAS RELEASED IS YOUR GUIDE TO CHOOSE THE CORRECT ROM THAT WILL BOOT UP AFTER FLASHING THE MDDI KERNEL

[Q] HTC Desire S Stuck on htc logo

Hi all,
I'm facing a strange behaviour after rom flashing.
I've unlocked my device through HTCDEV, then I've installed EXT4 Recovery from here RECOVERY then I've installed this ROM
After last step, flash boot image using this code: fastboot flash boot boot.img, the device stuck on logo during the first reboot even if all the steps (also the flash boot.img) finished well.
I'm able to access in fastboot , run recovery etc etc
The only way to recovery my device is "re-lock" using this code: fastboot oem lock , and flash again the original one (RUU_SAGA_ICS_35_S_HTC_EU_14.01.401.2_20.76.30.0835 _3831.19.00.110_275068)
I did these steps many times using other devices (same model) withou errors.
Am I missing something ?
Any hint or suggestion how to debug it ?
Tns,
SBK

Not quite understanding what you want to do with this.
You have access to recovery, why not simply flash the rom and boot.img again?
Its a JB rom, it's possible you have an mddi panel have a quick read of this thread and see if it applies to you http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1943524

Got it! You've right.
In this device I've installed a Hitachi MDDI panel.
Unfortunately the procedure to change the kernel it seem that did not work with flinnny's ROM.
I have to find a new compatible rom.

Crashes for reason I don't understand [Solved]

I attempted to install clockworkrecoverymod on my HTC Desire S but I hadn't realized that it was s-on. I tried first though ROM Manager which didn't work, it just kept loading htc's recovery. Then I tried from another source, this time when I tried to access recovery it just came up saying htc and froze there. I then tried a factory reset it showed htc and froze again. Now every time I try to access recovery it just shows htc and freezes.
Can someone help?

Sorry. I think I gave you the impression that I know what I'm doing I'm a noob so I have no idea where to start with that. Where do I find the recovery.img, is it a download, is it somewhere on the phone. Also, how do I then flash the recovery. Please, it would really help. I don't want to risk winging it only to have my phone explode on me (knowing my luck).
You could've used FlashIMG app to flash things like recovery or a kernel right away from the device itself, no need to use command prompt

Yes. I know that now. That's why I'm here I'm looking for some way to recover... the recovery... or install the recovery again or completely reinstall everything on the phone, ANYTHING! The recovery is gone completely and now whenever I turn off my phone the next turn on is a complete restart of the phone. I've tried reinstalling the ICS ruu that I used before but it keeps on failing part way through.
Are you htcdev unlocked?
Re: Crashes for reason I don't understand
Well mate....
I presume your device has been htc dev unlocked and still s- on,
if the bootloader was still locked, you wouldnt have problems with flashing ruu...
so lets start:
1.download the rom of your choice
-copy boot.img from its contents
and place it in a folder with ADB
-place the rom.zip on your phone`s sd card-
1a.download recovery for saga ( clockworkmod or 4ext )
-make sure it has the .img extention
-rename it to: recovery.img , and place it in a folder with ADB
2.start adb on pc and navigate to the location where it is stored,
let say you`ve put it on a drive c, in folder: android-tools,
issue command:
cd c:\android-tools [enter]- ( the folder name after back slash, must correspond with one on your pc- of course)
3.reboot your phone to bootloader and connect to pc,
issue command:
fastboot devices [enter]
if the phone is been recognised, you`ll see something like:
list od devices attached
scf00421.... device
4.issue command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
and see what`s the output in terminal-
5.in bootloader menu there is an option: reboot bootloader...
- use it- reboot bootloader, and from among its option choose
< recovery > ....
In recovery:
- install zip from sd card
-choose zip from sd card
find the rom you`ve downloaded and placed on sd card before,
confirm by clicking < yes > and let it finish flashing
6.in command prompt, issue command:
adb reboot bootloader [enter]
7.issue command:
fastboot devices
and when your device`s ID is listed under < list of device attached >
8.issue command:
fastboot flash boot boot.img [enter]
and when it finishes, issue command:
fastboot reboot
and if all above has been fulfilled to the letter,
after htc boot screen you should see bootanimation of your new rom,
and all else that ussualy follows
for the first time i`d recommend a sense rom,
since flashing non sense one, requires to know whether your device
goes equipped with sony or hitachi panel- no tragedy in either case,
but knowing that saves you from another bootloop.....
Thanks asgardr I'm yet to try this out but it looks promising. The reason this all started was because I wanted to install a certain rom found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2070704
There are two versions of it. Not sure if they both have sense or not but one of them is called 'Sense/Data++ version' so I'm assuming that one will definatly have sense on it. I'll try to install it. I'll let you know how it goes.

This is a rom for htc desire,,, not for htc desire s,,
difference in name is small but you should never flash anything else than roms for desire s!
If you try flasing rom from different device, you're running very high risk of bricking your device...
If you tried to flash that rom already and the phone is still able to boot to bootloader:
1.download any sense rom for DESIRE S- SAGA
copy boot img from that rom to a folder where adb is
2.put it on your phone's sd card
3.in recovery:
-wipe cache
-data
-system
( clockworkmod recovery)
-wipe all except sd card
( 4ext recovery )
4.flash rom you've placed on an sd card ( in recovery )
5. From recovery : reboot to bootloader and
flash boot img via fastboot....
Then you can reboot your device...
ummm. I followed your instuctions using this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1859700 and now when the phone starts it stays blank
Never mind. I was just being inept again. The problem was that with my version of Hboot I would need to edit the updater-script of the ROM for it to install properly.
Now my only issue is that when the phone boots I get the htc ring menu.... whatever it's called and when I pull the ring up it says com.htc.bg has stopped working and then I get a screen that just says htc

You mean: htc lockscreen?
I haven't got any expearience with that particular rom,
but why don't you try some other one, like:
- viper saga
- desireXS
- SVHD
- iceDS
These are sense based roms,
there is a kernel thread from a briliant dev,
where you can find alternative boot images
for sense based roms
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1845039
Always remember of a < full wipe > before rom flashing,
and flashing boot img after,
even if flashing kernel provided by amidabuddha ( from the link provided above )
Most of the errors and bootloops is happening, due to the wrong or incorrectly flashed boot img...
( except those native to the rom itself- bugs )

Wiper saga rom is been driven by BtB kernel from amidabuddha,
this is basic, almost stock but cleaned and little improved branch,
meaning no overclocking or undervolting of cpu is possible with it...
If yoi'd wish to oc or uw your central processing unit ( processor ),
tweaked or patched kernels must be aplied instead

I didn't bother with the alternative kernel. I don't really have an interest in overclocking or undervolting but thank you for the extra info.
It is not so scary after all
Would you please, mark this thread as: ( solved )

[Q] Kernel and rom problem

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.

lift up gently the antenna which is responsible for wifi in the back cover
I think I finally found the solution to the wifi problem!
The solution is in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23554125&postcount=1804
Now I use Android Revolution HD 7.3,sometimes the problem occurs again, but now I have a solution!
Just repeat the procedure described in the post and wifi working again.
When you delete a file "wpa_supplicant.conf", I have to re-enter all the router's password which I linked, but this is not such a big problem!

You don't need s-off to install latest custom ROMs
All you need to do is to flash boot.img extracted from zip after flashing the ROM, using this command
fastboot flash boot boot.img
If it's done correctly and your phone still doesn't boot, then you need to look into this

Also, make sure you are on lastet 4EXT recovery 1.0.0.6 or TWRP recovery 2.7

your recomand tread it says su
dmesg | grep -i panel
If the app shows you any text with word "sony" in it - then your device has a screen panel made by Sony (obviously). If that's the case - you can just close this thread at once and don't worry that your device might freeze at "HTC Quietly Brilliant" screen after flashing a ROM. Otherwise, proceed forward.
any my phone is made by sony as well

Like said above, flash latest 4ext recovery v1.0.0.6 via fastboot commands. Flash the rom then boot straight into fastboot and flash the boot.img then reboot.
Or if u want to s-off, follow this guide.

You need to use latest 4EXT or TWRP for these newer 4.4 roms. CWM is no good.

HTC ONE SV STUCK AT BLACKSCREEN. help please!

Hi,
I'm having problems with my HTC one SV. it powers on then it will show "htc quietly brilliance logo" and after that it shows black screen then stuck on it. i had this problem before so I remove the battery then power it on solves the problem but lately it does not work anymore lets say it's like 1/100 before it goes thourgh. i really dont know what to do tried searching for solutions just cant get it. I'm kinda newbie on terms so if anyone can help me I'm very thankful.
Thank you in Advance!
Seems like a common problem for many HTC One SV's.
Take a look in the Q&A section, there should be many threads, where i described what to do. As long as it's no US carrier phone, then things are different.
Basically:
- unlock your phone with htcdev.com (all data is lost)
- flash TWRP recovery with fastboot
- flash a rom for your model

my phone is from middle east. i assume that its all in htcdev.com? like step by step on what to do? honestly i really don't know how to flash TWRP, flash a rom and etc. I'm just having a hard time learning maybe because it's 1st time for to do it plus I'm not yet familiar with it.
You needto learn, how to use fastboot cmd, otherwise i guess your phone is lost.
But its not so hard, if you can use a computer
At htcdev you can get the basic fastboot files you need.
Try to read and follow the unlock guide, then we see how far we come.

sorry it took me weeks before i reply. anyway i did wipe the phone. are there any like reset command while on fast boot or something so that i can start from the beginning? actually im a bit lost.
Boot to recovery -> Wipe menu -> Advanced Wipe and wipe System, data, cache, dalvik cache.
Then go to Install and flash the rom for your model.
Then boot to fastboot and flash the boot.img of the rom with fastboot cmd fastboot flash boot boot.img
If that does not bring your phone back to life, something else is wrong.
