So I got the desire S for more then a year now and decided to flash it with 4.0.4.
Build date 24 june. From here.
Now the first week I didn't seem the have any problems but now it randomly reboots. Mostly it keeps rebooting till I plug it in the powersupply then it keeps working and I can take it out again. But after a while... during a call or just when it's in my pocket it reboots again. What can be the problem here? Anyone who got a anser for that?
More information please
ROM name? How did you root / unlock your DS? What other apps have you recently added that may have helped to cause this?
We aren't mind-readers - our balls are made of flesh and blood, not crystal :angel:
Yeah sorry.

CyanogenMod 9 Alpha for HTC Desire S
That mod I installed. I only installed whatsapp and google maps.
Other then that didnt do anything else.
To unlock the phone I used the following software.
SuperOneClick 2.2
adb-fastboot-win
ClockworkMod Recovery
There were problems like this a while back with CM9, but they haven't happened for a while.
There were, also, some issues with using CMW but none with using 4EXT Touch.
So, my suggestion would be:
Install 4EXT Recovery Control and Touch Recovery (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ext.recovery.control)
Install the ROM again using a clean install - superwipe all partitions as 4ext (format, not to be confused with the name of the recovery tool)
I assume that if you are on hboot 2.00.0002 you know about http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525100
Hey all! This is my first post here since i got my htc one S 2 days ago. I have read quite a bit on how to install custom roms and everything.
The very first ROM i installed was the venom viperOneS OTA 2.1.0 and it ran well until i noticed that my camera was not working. Not even through other apps that require camera. All it says is that the camera is unavailable and shuts down the apps. I tried dozens of things to fix the camera, but no luck. Then realised that my microphone didn't work and i couldn't call anybody.
I decided to get my phone back to stock, but it seems to be an extremely difficult process. I downloaded loads of RUU files (including the newest RUU Ville U JB 45) and after re-locking the phone, and running the .exe file i always get an error after its trying to change the signatures saying that this is not the right file for my phone. (When i press 'update' in the installed the current version is blank, not sure if this means anything).
Then i tried an older viperOneS OTA and was left with a bootloop.
Could somebody please help me out on how to get my phone to stock version?
And before you ask if i've wiped my phone before any ROM installation - i have multiple times.
Thank you in advance.
Hi all , I had my sensation for a long time , and suddenly i decided to unlock bootloader s-off it and do a custom rom
at first i unlocked the bootloader via htc.com method
then I kept my device s-on and flashed 4ext
i flashed revolution rom and everything was fine until one day the apps like facebook and whatsapp didnt have an internet connection through wifi
only 3G connection , although i was connected to wifi but no response
i tried to reflash the rom but then the wifi didnt work at all , kept going on again off again
i thought i should make s-off
i used jupotntbar method ( wire trick ) and s-offed my device
i tried the rom again nothing happened , all was wrong
then all of a sudden my USB didnt read at all , anytime i plug it in it is on charge only mode and doesnt appear to connect to the pc , i tried different PCs but no luck
i tried changing radio and ril , i changed the recovery , until i installed CWM recovery ( using rom manager via 3G ) and the wifi was on again and sometimes it fails but it works .... still no USB
if anyone can help me i would donate and thank him a lot
i cant go to a service center becuz i have none in my country

What happened seems quite weird, but sometimes happen. Did you try another ROM? Sometimes problems start without any apparent reason. When it happens you can either wipe your phone and start your system anew, or you can flash another ROM (again with full wipe).
As a personal preference I prefer 4EXT recovery, but if you say clockworkmod works best for you, keep it. I don't have enough understanding to know the impact of the recovery on regular usage (I know it has impact on when the phone is off).
Try another ROM, that would be my first advice. Or maybe even RUU (Since you got S-Off now, I suggest you get yourself SuperCID. There is a guide in the general forum).
Here is a list of ROMs that worked flawlessly for me (or at least without any apparent bugs):
albinoman's CM10.1 (no HTC sense, awesome ROM if you can live with AOSP)
ViperS 1.6.3 (works great)
ViperS 3.1.2 (apparently works fine, but since this ROM is fully ported (awesome work of SebastianFM) there might be the occasional glitch)
AndroidRevolutionHD - I used a (much) older version and had some issues with wifi (fixed with a newer version), but a good ROM.
And most other ROMs work fine as well, just didn't get to try them myself.
If nothing helps, after you get SuperCID, yuo can try using an RUU to restore your phone to stock. It will also flash the firmware and radio partitions, which might also fix stuff. After you get SuperCID you can use any RUU you'd like.
Good luck.

Hmmm.... That complicates things. It's allways a possiblity that this is a hardware problem, but let's try something else. If changing ROM doesn't work, maybe flashing firmware will help. Get a PG58IMG.zip file of either 3.32 or 3.33 firmware from this thread, and flash with the instructions of the thread.
Very Important! Check the md5sum of the firmware you download, as it can permanently brick your phone if it's not flashed correctly.
Good luck. If that doesn't work, I doubt if anyhing will. If you do manage to get USB connection, I suggest RUUing anyway, to get a clean install for your device.

Then I'm afraid I'm out of suggestions. Just to be sure. Did you try another cable? What did the computer recognize (in device manager, it should show something for the device as a USB device)?
This might lead us to a new direction.

On what ROM you're currently on? Did you perform S-Off method after returning to Stock? For S-Off the prerequisite is Rooted stock ROM.
I faced this issue when I was on MIUI ROM and my PC didn't detected my device. I suggest you should flash the ViperS JB after a Superwipe. It have MTP support and it let the PC and Phone access SD card at the same time. I am sure it will detect your device after flashing ViperS JB. Also try uninstalling the HTC drivers from your PC and install the latest HTC drivers. I am not on PC otherwise I would have shared the link for latest drivers. Also try connecting your phone with original HTC Cable and USB port 2.0.

Hi.
I'm working on my girlfriends One S, which recently had:
Viper Rom 3.1
HBoot 2.15
Unlocked BL
Radio 1.15
After constantly getting random reboots, up to 20 times a day, I tried to S-OFF her device - without success - to update radio and kernel.
As far as I as know you need to be S-OFF to update kernel and radio, is it so?
Well I tried to restore her device from a NAND backup (which was using TrickDroid 9.0, or something), but now it is constantly rebooting while "system isn't responding", and it isn't asking for the PIN-code and not connecting to the mobile network. Basically it is stuck when fully booted. I can't go to settings to enable USB debugging or anything...
I am able to go to recovery and the bootloader and that is it..
Please help.. what do I need to do?

I really need help with my HTC Sensation guys, here is where I am at;
I got a new phone and I wanted to give my HTC sensation to my dear old mum angel but she is on 02 (UK). So when I put her sim in it asks for the network unlock code, thats fine.
So I got the code online and put it in, says sucessful but then does nothing, which according to THIS THREAD is because I am running Cyanogenmod 9 which is a non Sense rom.
I booted into recovery (4EXT), Factory reset + Wipe Cache + dalvik, then restored my backup from before I installed Cyanogen (Stock ROM).
However, and this is where I run out of ideas, it just hangs on the "HTC Quietly brilliant" screen...
I read in THIS THREAD that it could be a kernel issue, so I also tried with the 3.32 kernel from THIS THREAD but no dice.
On a side note, I tried a few other roms, including the stock rom from step 2 in THIS THREAD, they all freeze up at the boot animation as well. The stock rom one makes a sound like it is trying to play the startup noise but then changes its mind.
So as a last resort I tried to find the RUU for my firmware and carrier which should be 3.32.771, but of course it doesn't exist. All I can find is 1.34.771 which would just throw an error...
Any help would be very much appreciated.
My phone details;
HTC Sensation
Bootloader UNLOCKED
S-ON
Recovery: 4EXT
Running: CM9
I also attached a fastboot getvar all output.
