[Q] Failed Cyanogen Installation -> Half-Bricked Desire S

Hello, members )
My story:
Since i never liked HTC Sense i tried to migrate to Cyanogen.
I performed the following steps:
1. Bootloader was unlocked with HTC site.
2. 4ExtRecovery installed.
3. Cyanogen "update-cm-7.1.0-DesireS-signed" was installed via 4Ext from sd card.
Now phone stucks at HTC logo. Access to bootmenu, recovery is available.
I tried to flash RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.5_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_219480_signed.exe but it ends with an error.
Phone data:
***UNLOCKED***
SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.00.0002
RADIO-3822.10.08.04_M
eMMC-boot
Any chance to recover phone functionality?
Thanx in advance.

Have you made a backup of your previous ROM? If not try one of the custom sense roms or run the ruu without attached device, don't close the first window and search for the rom.zip, copy it to another folder and delete everything in the zip file except the system.img, rename it to pg88img.zip and flash it in bootloader or flash the image itself with fastboot.
As much as I know is your problem that with htcdev the kernel isn't unlocked and cause cyanogen needs another then sense, it doesn't work.

flashed pg88img.zip via bootloader. no effect, still hangs on white HTC logo screen (

first thing you should do is to go s-off, then you can install custom roms.

He's unlocked by htc dev
You can also try flashing the full package with all content from the rom.zip, but this sets also your unlocked state of the bootloader back and be sure that you use the latest version of the ruu.

You need to manually flash the boot.img from CM 7.1 when you have the unlocked bootloader.

But i dont have cyanogen anymore since i tried to flash other roms.
Shall i install CM rom via 4extrecovery and then flash boot.img in fastboot?
I am ready to get back Sense because now nothing works (

Mr tpbklake , you do the magic!!
Everything works thanx!!
So,
1. CM rom was flashed in 4EXT
2. /boot was formatted
3. fastboot flash boot boot.img was performed (boot.img from the same rom)

[Q] HTC Sensation can not be updated

Hello XDA-DEV-Team
I have bought a HTC Sensation over Ebay a few weeks ago, no problems so far, and im excited to use it. Also means i dont know what is installed on the phone (for example, i dont know which recovery, if it is rooted, if it is s-on/off, and what ever could explain the problem I am describing below), but if you tell me what to look for, I'll do my best to find it out for you.
I am recently recieving an message that i need to update my System: The update is called: 1.45.163.4 (43,19 MB) - Android 2.3
If I update my HTC Sensation it says it has to restart, then it restarts and then after 5-6 seconds i can see the following picture: - ok i cant post links yet - i get a white triangle with a yellow exclamation mark and blue android guy beneath it.
img580 dot imageshack dot us/img580/7650/fone.png
Is there any chance that i can update my phone?

do you plan to root and gain s-OFF?
that is a a screen before recovery, you manually have to hit the key combo to go into recovery, or thats the screen to see its its progress updating,
if you can boot into the bootloader by pressing Vol down and power
if you see s-off or "revolutionay" means your s-off if you dont see that means your fully stock

greetings krstn

what you have there is a s-off and rooted phone, if you go into recovery you should see a blue menu with a list of options at top should say "CWM recovery", go to the DEV section and choose a rom of your liking
(i recommend LEEdroid) and
thats the reason why you cant update, you are running a rooted phone with a custom recovery

Hello Sir,
Thanks ALOT for your help! you really I helped me, i installed LEEdroid now and it looks really nice and smooth!
thanks alot, i am a diffrent person now thanks to you.

and before flashing check md5 sums(important)
after that you have to flash an ics or jb rom from recovery because your current rom won't boot with the new firmware

Hi all,
I just got a new Desire S curtisy of O2 in the uk and noticed the HBOOT of 2.00.0002 which is not listed by the Revolutionary 0.4Pre4.
I was just wondering if there was another way or unless im missing somehing obvious.

You need to downgrade and then use revolutionary.

Cheers mate, Just found it :/

Man, these capcha's are SO annoying. WHy the hell on every post someone does? It's just annoying!
ANyways, Back on topic, I'm trying download HTCDEV for 'all other supported phones' from here:
http://htcdev.com/bootloader/
The problem is, It doesnt download. ANd when i change it to another option it still does sweet FA.
Is there anywhere else download this, Specificully, the all other phones option?
THanks for help and heres to the next annoying captcha
EDIT: A reboot sorted that problem out. Weird, but fixed

Its gone from locked to unlocked but isnt it meant to say S-OFF, not S-ON?
THe main problem though is i've loaded REAPER 2.2 Mod with the 2.21 upgrade but it seems to get stuck on a boot loop while booting up
Any idea's?
SOrry for noob questions, I've never done this myself as i got a friend to do it before. ANd thanks for the help

Dude, you have just unlocked the boot loader.
HTC dev unlock process will not give you S-off, also can cause some warranty issues (don't be disheartened)
Now you need to download a custom recovery and flash it via fastboot.
I would recommend 4ext touch.
Then flash any custom ROM. The guide should have all the details.

I've done that, i used 4EXT_Recovery_v2.2.7_RC5.zip and thats ok. I cleared caches, Changed from 3EXT to 4EXT and then installed REAPER 2.2 then used update 2.2.1 over the top.
So i have 4EXT Recovery installed! I installed the ROM (off SDCARD) with this program and when i reboot it goes into a Boot Loop graphic and stays there.
4EXT Recovery Touch is just a touchscreen version of the one i used no?

I want to try change HBOOT to 7.00.1002 and radio to 20.76.30.0835U_3831.19.00.110 bc I got FC com.android.phone with Unofficial "Nightly" CM11.0 (all 3 versions-Thanks developers for working on them).From what I see who have this HBOOT and radio they don't have FC like I do.Can I get exact guide sto S-OFF or anything to get this done?

Have you tried this guide?

Thank you.With that guide I downgraded my hboot by installing RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.47.401.4_Radio_20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199410_signed and revolutionary S-OFF.Flashed recorvery 4ext touch 1.0.0.6 RC1 and flashed Unofficial "Nightly" CM11.0 [20140228] by devil-kin and everything works.No FC com.android.phone.I can select 2G or 3G without problem.I will try tomorrow to change hboot to 7.00.1002 and radio to 20.76.30.0835U_3831.19.00.110 but for now CM11 works without problems.
Update: After reboot got FC com.android.phone.Switched to 3G and reboot and works good.Tomorrow will try new hboot and radio.

Success in flashing new hboot and radio.Having some issues with CM11 so I restored CM10.2.

Hi, in your signature not details, please tell me how i can downgrade HBOOT
I tried htcdev but my rom version is 2.10.401.8 and not listed on there

Is it now possible to S-OFF a Desire S since the revolutionary site is no longer active ? I can unlock the bootloader via HTCDEV but I'd like to get S-OFF if possible ?

Maybe a slightly naive question......but I obviously need to downgrade my HBOOT to achieve S-OFF on the phone via the Rev method.
Can I restore my HBOOT version back to 2.00.0002 without running another RUU through it or is there another method.
My MIUI ROM works OK under 2.00.0002 should expect problems if it it runs under an earlier version ?

HTC One S [S3] Stock recovery

Hello,
Please somebody to help me with "Stock recovery" for HTC One S , S3 version.
Thank you in advance

Hello guys,
Try this:
Step 1: relock the bootloader (start your phone in fastboot, open cmd, got to folder where are fastboot files, type "fastboot oem lock" )
Step 2: find your desired stock jb or ics online. http://filesdownload.net/showthread.php?70-HTC-One-S-(-RUU_VILLE-)-(-RUU_VILLEC2-)
Step 3: connect your phone to the pc in fastboot (make sure you have the htc drivers installed).
Step 4: run the RUU or stock file as an exe. An installation guide will follow, just follow it through.
Step 5: Now you are in stock ROM:good:
It should work after this!
On my HTC One S [S3] , CID HTC_032 works

I have attached the stock recovery enjoy!!!!!!!!!!
