Hi. Today I got my Desire S.
I rooted it using a tool called unlock root: http://www.unlockroot.com/
then I installed rom manager, and installed clockworkmod recovery.
Next I booted into recovery and wiped everything, but now no matter what rom im trying to install, it will just show the HTC boot screen when starting the phone, and nothing more happens.
Does anyone have a suggestion how to solve the problem?
'UnlockRoot'? Have a look at this website and you might consider better ways of rooting your phone, such as following the recommended procedures listed in many places on XDA
http://lifehacker.com/5873745/unlock-root-roots-nearly-250-android-devices-in-one-click
Also, how is this a 'Development' question? This should be in the 'General' or 'Q&A' forum can a mod please move it?
yeah I found out, I tried using htc's way of rooting it http://www.htcdev.com
but that's not possible now, because the bootloader have changed because of that unlock tool, and now htc dev won't accept it when trying to root it.
I guess i just broke my phone , and i can't unroot it, because that unlocktool require that i got usb debugging enabled, witch i can't in clockworkmod :S.
sorry for posting in the wrong section, please move it.
maybe it would be possible if I had a clockworkmod backup for desire S. If this works, I would be extremly glad, if someone could take a backup with clockworkmod, and upload it
...Is your phone S-OFF ?
Maybe it is a stupid question, but I doubt you can successfully install a custom ROM with a S-ON phone
I guess your phone is still S-ON so you need to flash the boot.img from any rom.zip you want to use manually through fastboot.

hey budd i feel your pain on this as i Myself is new to the desire s android side of things after coming from zte blade but there is an easier way for you to do thing which would be to first use the ruu that should be on android 2.1 which in turn would bring the bootloader down so its possible for revolutionary to do the rest for you after this you shouldnt have any problems should you need assistance i am more than happy to help
btw the link to the ruu for 2.1 is here http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...3.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed.exe after a update using this use revolutionary which can be found in the main thread of the desire s forum

If you ''unlock'' your bootloader
when you flash rom.zip from recovery, the boot.img won't be flash in.
you have you take out the boot.img from your rom,and then flash it from fastboot.
when you enter the fastboot
type the following in adb
fastboot flash boot boot.img
now you can boot your phone hope you success

Solved my problem, thanks alot
I wanted to flash to ARHD 6.3
This is my first time.. I managed to S off.. But then the bootloop began after I flashed PG58IMG.zip via fastboot.
Step 1. To S-OFF your Sensation - (You do not need to do this if you have S-off already or done this before) - WORKING NOW for TMOUS users
Visit
download the application for your operating System. AND EXTRACT IT TO A FOLDER
YOU MAY NEED TO DISABLE YOUR ANTIVIRUS PROGRAM- Norton is flagging up Revolutionary as a Virus when it isn't
IMPORTANT
Fill out the form under the download links with your OS, Device, Hboot Version and Serial number. This will give your beta key to enable you to S - OFF. Make a note of this.
How To get your Hboot Version - 3 methods below
1. [/url] and if it has found your device it should read
"Found your Device: HTC Sensation Z710* Applications -> Development)
4. With the phone switched on (not in HBOOT, just the regular home screen), plug in your USB cable and select HTC sync mode.(IGNORE any warning messages on your phone telling you it cannot find HTC Sync )
5. Launch revolutionary.exe. It should detect the phone and ask for your beta key. Type it (BE CAREFUL, as its case sensitive) or copy and paste it in.
If Revolutionary fails to find your phone verify you have all the drivers installed, try disk drive mode or charging mode (Linux users can use disk drive mode. Confirmed to be working by others)
6. Once you have entered your beta key correctly, follow any on screen prompts or actions from revolutionary and wait for it to S-Off,
7. You're done. Your Device will Successfully have S-OFF....if it hangs on method 3 and doesn't S-Off. See post 2 below for solutions.
IF REVOLUTIONARY SAYS FAILED YOUR PHONE IS NOT SUPPORTED. Go back and check hboot using the methods above. some users are told its failed and they still have S off now. If you have S-off your hboot will now be 1.17.1011 and revolutionary will tell you now your device is not supported
8. Revolutionary will now ask you to Install clockwork recovery mod after S OFF. Type N and install it manually below (the recovery provided is v4.0.1.4 doesn't charge when device is switched off, the one below v5.0.0.1 does charge)
9. Your Device now is S-off.
To install clockwork recovery for the sensation. Follow step 2!
STEP 2. To INSTALL Recovery - v5.0.0.8
1. Download recovery v5.0.0.8 for the Sensation HERE: or Multiupload
2. Copy the PG58IMG file into the Root folder of your SD card (The main Folder of your Memory Card)
3. Turn off your phone FUlly and reboot into the Bootloader/HBOOT screen (see post above on how to get to hboot screen)
4. Press Volume up to Accept when it asks" Do you want to start the update"
5. Press Power Off to Reboot back to android after installation is successful (normal screen with homescreen)

I got stuck at step 2.5.. Pls help me out. Actually I used to flash ROM for i9000 a couple of times but for sensation this is my first time. I'm using sensation unlocked. I lived in Malaysia so most probably its asians version.

oh i've read that as well so i have deleted it manually by using sd adapter.. then reinserted it back n tried to boot normally.. but to no avail.. what's the root cause of this eh?
when i gained s off, i still can boot into my ROM.. however disaster happens when i flashed the .zip files obtained as per instructions..
oh but directly after i've flashed it, i didn't remove the .zip files n tried to immediately reboot into ROM.. does this make a difference?

good question..
immediately after s off, i boot into my ROM and tried to install busybox and other apps that requires superuser or root but failed and stating that my device was still not rooted..
so i proceed to install a recovery (in this case its ext4 recovery) but failed to find a .zip installer (but managed to find the .apk and .img version but afraid to proceed considering the extension wasn't the same as per guide's PG5...ZIP). so i tried to simply install cwm as per stated in the guide. coz i know after recovery is installed, only then i would be able to install the su zip files.
then it boot looped.. n here we are trying to shoot all of these troubles.. XD
and if my understanding was wrong, pls correct me. thanks!
only after you sent me the links i managed to install ext4 recovery via a much easier method using cmd.exe..
n that also means that i wasn't even able to follow through the supercid part of the guide..

wait a moment, i dont know if things are making more sense to me but, is it possible that this was caused by a wrong firmware? i just figured out my cid and its htc_044 and there are 4 different version of firmware for this cid, so should i try each of it until my phone boots to my original ROM?
Update: Oh God, I'm in such a relief! Thank God it works now. I flashed the firmware 1.17 n now am able to boot back into my ROM. Now i'm gonna get things backed up n will proceed. phew thanks so much for helping me out. The cause was maybe the zip files werent compatible with mine. So i check my cid n mid, n downloaded what might be the original one. so now its fixed..

what did you do ???
ICS OTA update ?
or flashed ICS ROM directly via recovery from GB rom?
can you post the details of bootloader (HBOOT)
random stuck and reboot
Alright, here is how it goes... I bought this used sensation xe from a guy, the time I check the phone, it is already ota update. While that time the phone keep stuck and reboot.for few times. Maybe 30 minutes once. The whole phone suddenly freeze and then restart. So I decide to root it and install custom Rom, I thought that maybe custom Rom will works better, but not. I read some guides out there mention that in order to flash custom Rom, we need to unlock the phone first. So I unlock by using the HTC dev method. After that I flash dark forest ics Rom, but the stuck and reboot problem still remains there. So here is my bootloader. UNLOCKED , PYRAMID PVT SHIP S - ON RL. HBOOT 1.27.0000. any idea how to fix this? Please provide me step by step guide if yes. I have been confusing searching the forum.

ohh you got ics ota previusly...good things are easy now for you
now
1.you got rom on your sdcard or on pc ?..then extract the boot.img file from rom's zip file (usually present in kernels folder... if it has more than one boot.img choosethe one of your choice)
2.keep the boot.img in adb folder (assuming you got adb/factboot setup)
3.keep the device in fastboot mode and connect it to pc (bootloader then fastboot)
3.flash the boot.img via fastboot
command : "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
(you need to do this every time you install custom rom via custom recovery---to prevent this you can install latest 4EXT custom recovery 1.0.0.5 RC3 )
4.reboot ---then voila it should work
The Rom you mean is custom Rom? But I discover that after I flash the dark forest Rom, I can't flash any other custom Rom or kernel. It says (bad). Installation aborted . Later will try the method that you stated. The adb folder is on pc? You mean c: Android on my computer?

Lol.. I thought you are stuck at bootloop..
The above method I mentioned helps too as these random boots might happen due to kernel/module mismatch... So first do that and see the random reboots are gone.
If that didn't solve the issue
Then this random boots might be due to improper flash of rom... First if you got custom recovery installed.. Do a full wipe (use ARHD super wipe too if you want to) from recovery and then flash the rom again... See that solves the issue.. If still not then once again extract the boot.img and repeat the above process again

trying now, will leave the feedback later or soon. so what is the next step to get it S-OFF? is there easier methods?
i have done what you said on top, the boot.img method. so lets hope the phone goes well and doesnt stuck anytime. whats next?

lot of ppl got their sdcard fried while trying JB SOFF....the only option left for you is to try card reader...
also you can flash 4EXT via fastboot as i mentioned in my earlier posts...that method doesnt require sdcard

if i get a new sd card will this solve the problem? i'm afraid that after getting new sd card and the blank sd appear again.

..... It says that on every One X, it's HTC telling whoever turns the phone on that you used HTCDev.com
Make Sure you have TWRP (recovery) flashed/installed ... then in the bootloader go into recovery and flash cm10 ... and since you probably have the newer hboot 1.14 that means that you HAVE to flash the kernel (boot.img) via fastboot
Which is simple,
flash cm10
then reboot into the bootloader > fastboot
extract the boot.img from the cm10.zip
and fastboot flash boot boot.img
then your done reboot and enjoy.... (anything else read threw the forum, all your answers have been asked by somebody else already)
On rogers he won't have the 1.14 hboot, which means all he has to do is install the rom.
Try flashing the recovery again (TWRP ONLY!)
And then reinstall CM10

That might be your problem. CWM isn't supported for this phone and has been known to corrupt data.
Links for all the files you need are in a sticky in the Development forum. Here's the link for TWRP:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1677447
Once you've got that, you can wipe your phone inside TWRP (don't do it in bootloader--you'll have to reformat your sd card), and reflash CM10.
That link requires me to use that GOO manager? Confused lol i have TWRP on my computer but not sure the steps to use it ..

Read up, get adb working. Then you can install TWRP using adb.
So first i need to get adb working , then install TWRP to wipe my phone? To access that i flash TWRP and go into recovery right ?
EDIT: So .. i've downloaded that adb , and i got a bunch of files.. what do i do with this? I put them into my fastboot folder in my C drive.. Also i need to unlock my phone to do this right ? Cause i accidently relocked it .
EDIT: OKAY i rooted my phone , and got into TWRP , tried a factory rest under the wipe menu. http://i48.tinypic.com/13yklep.jpg It says fails.. what do i do ?
Go to mount usb storage (not sure which screen its on) while it's plugged into your computer

The Rogers HTC One X IS a HTC One XL. Rogers just branded it. The OneX has the Tegra 3 Quad Core Processor, the One XL has the S4 Dual Core Processor. Your phone is the same as the ATT Version. Trust me

omfg it works ty so much!
No problem. Just be glad you didn't flash an international Rom. They can render your device completely unusable. Remember only flash things from this forum and enjoy

After all that, lol. At least he had the sense to stop and ask.
Hi all,
Apology if this questions may already been ask millions of time but I am really stucked at the moment and hoping that someone may guide me to the correct direction.
I have got HTC One X-LTE (Evita)
I managed to get S-OFF and also CID - 111111
It has TWRP 2.6
The last time I got it working was on the STOCK 4.2.2 I downloaded from the XDA - then I got into the issues of rebooting and loosing signal from time to time. so I went into my TWRP backup I had and reflashed it using my old backup made from my TWRP.
the reflashed failed and now I can only boot up to the HTC logo and then black screen.
I can get to the TWRP recovery and I have got fastboot and ADB on my PC.
When I run the fastboot devices command --> it shows device connected BUT when i try ADB command ---> no device is found.
It will be much appreciated if someone can guide me to the right direction as I am really stucked at the moment not sure where to start.
I tried searching in the forum but I don't think I went to the correct area/tutorial.
Please help
Thank you
When you made your twrp backup did you select system,data, and boot? If it's hanging at the HTC screen it seems there is not boot.img installed or one that is incompatible with your backup. Open whatever Rom your backup is made from and copy the boot.img to your fastboot directory. Then reboot the phone into fastboot mode and flash the boot.img using this command.
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then reboot the phone and see what happens

Thanks for the reply.
When looking at the TWRP backup I copied into my PC - does not have the .img - the one I can find is MD5
Can I use the existing ROM I donwload from XDA like : EVITA_UL_JB_50_S_TMO_DE_5.08.111.2_By_Turge.zip
when I extracted EVITA_UL_JB_50_S_TMO_DE_5.08.111.2_By_Turge.zip - I can see the "boot.img" can I use this one?
Thanks

I had a somewhat similar experience with Viper 4.0 ROM - I managed to get Cyanogenmod installed correctly (particularly this one). Take a shot and see if it works - atleast your phone will be up and working.

hmm - Im on ROM dated 09/13, which is not present now. Your best bet would be http://get.cm/get/aOM
Also remember to flash Google Apps (play store, etc.) which is packaged separately here - http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip

Hi Sandy
Thank you again for your help
I finally got my phone at least booting again.
What i did was I went to the fastboot and then correct to the PC and when it was asking for format the drive, I did format it (fingers crossed) and luckily it let me see the ROm I downloaded from the Stock 4.2.2 Turge version.
Now my problem is that the phone keeps rebooting.
I don;t know how to flash the kernel as suggested on the front page of the thread.
What is the most stable ROM at the moment?
I want to learn how to flash and fix this - I have kept reading post after post but I still can not get myself to where I want it to be which is fixing the reboot issue from the STOCK 4.2.2 Turge version.
I am a real newbie so I am not too familar with some of the fancy terms people use.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks again

It sounds like it might be a bad download or something. I noticed u never mentioned wiping the phone before flashing, Are u clean wiping? And also what hboot are you on?

You can either flash the kernel, which can be found in the Android Development section, flashing the kernel is just like flashing a ROM, just install in Beastmode. Or you can upgrade your firmware to 2.15, the instructions are I'm the first post of the ROM thread.
Asking which ROM is best/favorite/most stable is against the rules so we can't answer that question.
When you say the phone keeps rebooting, does it ever make it into the OS or is it boot looping (showing the boot animation then starting over)?

When you said that flashing kernel is the same as flashing ROM, I did it By going to TWRP and the press install and locate the zip file. Is this what should be done?
What is beast mode?
Sorry for the basic questions
Thanks
Yeah that's how you install the kernel. It must be done after you install the ROM. I kinda worded my reply a bit weird, sorry about that. Beastmode is the name of the kernel, you can find it here:

I did try to flash it through recovery but it always failed. Not sure why. I copied the kernel zip file into my phone sd and then I went to recovery and press the install and located the kernel zip file but still failed.

Which recovery version are you using?
Sent from my Evita
Recovery is 2.6.3.
The process failed on not able to fine the MD5 file or something like that. We don't need to extract the Zip file do we?
Cheers
Disable md5 checking in settings. You never need to extract a kernel or ROM zip.

I have checked the setting in TWRP and nothing is ticked.
When I flash the zip, it is still saying "failed due to md5 does not exists".
I am not sure which should be address first but I now noticed that there is an error : "unable to locate storage device"
also came out.
When I plug my phone to PC I can see the storage but why it is saying "storage device not found" in TWRP?
Thanks
