[Q] What if????

What if it says image update error after you attempt the zip recovery method and you are stuck on bootloader with only options to fastboot and go no where except option to go back to bootloader and the factory reset sends you to fastboot and the image crc is 0x0 on everything?

You can still make your phone normal. If you have working fastboot or bootloader your phone is not bricked.
You can reflash recovery, radio , and other firmware related stuff .

Sorry but can i get directions on what files are needed to reflash and how to do it. Since my phone is already in a bad state I dont want to risk bricking it.

Where is the radio information ?? Doesn't show ??

It does not show a radio info

Why 2 threads
Try flashing this firmware. This is ICS only firmware, but if it gets things working for you. And you want to go back to gingerbread, then you can worry about that later

[Q] Bootloop after flashing kernel

I got my HTC Sensation a few days ago second-hand, and it was already S-OFF and came with DarkSense. Since then I've been playing with a few ROMs, and after I installed ViperS and a kernel in it's hub (the updated Bricked kernel) I'm stuck in a bootloop.
I tried to:
- Recover a nandroid backup
- Wipe everything except SD card
- Install other ROMs/kernels
But it's still stuck
I searched the forums, and I came across some posts about SuperCID, but from what I understand that shouldn't be relevant for the firmware I'm using (the universal 3.33).
I also saw a post about smartflash, but that too shouldn't be relevant because I have S-OFF, correct?
Any help/suggestions are highly appreciated

Follow the instructions I gave here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37836634&postcount=3
After you get the phone booting again, install the TWRP recovery as it's the best recovery for S-OFF users. If you have any questions on flashing a boot.img file then feel free to ask

so other then an unlocked bootloader, it's completely stock? If it is and you want to keep it that way you can always send it in for repair. At a price though since you have a unlocked bootloader, and I don't think you can get it originally locked again. only relocked. You don't have warrenty this way.
You could also install a custom ROM

Hi,
Look HERE
2. Flashing a recovery
Try re-installing your recovery.
Then, follow the rest of the thread to install a custom ROM.

You haven't bricked your phone, if it can power on at all it isn't bricked. Read my Evita FAQ thread and my How-To Guide For Beginners thread, both are in my signature, your answer more than likely lies within.

How do you not know? You should know what you're flashing to your device. To make it easy for you, you need to be running the unofficial modified version of TWRP 2.6.3.0 to flash KitKat ROMs. It did state that in my Evita FAQ thread. You'll find it in our Original Android Development section.

There is no old back up and there is no data on the Internal memory.
I can not do 'USB Debugging' to get ADB work, because there is no OS to set it on, and phone will not boot.
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
How do i get my HTC work, don't care if its Rooted or Non- rooted.
Im sorry this is my first experience with Android.
Hope that you can help me.

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
looks like:

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

Maybe if you try running an ICS ruu which might work and stock.

Thanks
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
