Boot loop when trying to flash Froyo but none with Eclair

Hi guys,
So I've ran into this problem of my HTC Legend being stuck in a boot loop after trying to flash with modaco's custom/stock froyo roms via fake flash. (Tried signed/unsigned rom and tried with radio)...is it to do with S-ON?
However the weird thing is that the Legend official rooted rom (Eclair) from cookmyrom.se works perfectly fine..apart from the fact that I cannot install anything from market.
My Hboot menu says:
-------------------------
LEGEND PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-1.01.0000
MICROP-0816
TOUCH PANEL-SYN07_0103
RADIO-7.13.35.05
Nov 8 2010,15:24:15
-------------------------
It would be great if you guys could shed some light on what's going on and how I would be able to flash the modaco custom rom.
Cheers!

Installing custom rom (incredible S bell network)

Good day,
I want to install a custom rom and was wondering what stable rom's are available for my incredible S. Also what upgrades (aka radio upgrade etc) would I need to do
Specs:
- HTC Incredible S
Android 2.3.3 (stock htc rom)
Bell Network
- Revolutionary
VIVO PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-6.13.1002
RADIO-3805.04.03.27_M
eMMC-boot
Apr 1 2011,18:34:39
- Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4
I've installed Revolutionary CWM so I could enable S-off & restore the stock ROM (with settings etc) anytime. It's neat but I want to explorer the other custom OS.
Thanks

You have a GingerBread ROM (2.3.3) so you won't have to worry about a radio upgrade with any of the custom ROMs.
Make a 'nandroid' backup from CWM and then start playing.
Since you have Revolutionary and CWM you are free to install any of the custom ROMs. If you don't like a particular one, just restore your 'nandroid' backup or try another one.

I'm on bell and your going to notice connectivity problems with any 4.0 + roms

Is there a stock 2.3.5 ROM we can flash to our Bell phones?

Yes if you are rooted and have a custom recovery, you can install this one:

Works like a charm! Thanks!

Have the same setup as OP. If going up to a 4.0 Rom, like Nik Project X v4.1 or Virtuous Infinity v1.30.0. Would Hboot and Radio need to be updated?
I saw some post that had roms needing blackrose and an updated 4.0 radio, other posts saying any bootloader/radio works, does this apply for 2.3.3 roms?
If I wanted to go back to stock rom, would it be just a nandroid restore, or addtional downgrading need to be done?
Thanks for any help.

[Q] Custom ICS ROM issue

Hi XDA, I hate to make a thread about this when there are so many good guides on these forums but I am really stuck. Yesterday I tried to root my phone, which went successfully using revolutionary and CWM. However whenever I try to run a custom ICS ROM the phone will not progress past the ROM's splash screen. I have tried Ice Cold Sandwich and Virtuous Vivo neither which work. After something I did the phone did not advance past the HTC logo after which I reverted to the stock gingerbread RUU. Everything is working fine on rooted gingerbread now but I really want ICS. I updated the radio which I think got reverted when I reinstalled stock gingerbread, I also tried fast-booting the boot.img which also didn't work. I doubt both ROM's are corrupted because I downloaded them on high speed internet. Also tried wiping cache, dalvik cache etc before installing didn't work. Can anyone help me?
phone info:
S-OFF
Revolutionary HBOOT 6.13.1002
Running stock gingerbread RUU
EDIT: Would also like to know if I can install official OTA ICS update on my phone (not out in Australia yet). I have a gold card and s-off but my CID is not htc_001. If someone could link me or tell me how to do that it would be appreciated.

There is now a rooted version of the stock RUU/ROM that can be installed via CWM recovery and preserves your Revolutionary S-OFF. You might want to give that a try to see if you can live with the HTC stock experience.

Thanks tpbklake, downloading now. Will my CID number be a problem? (HTC_621)

No, it installs like any custom ROM via custom recovery which doesn't check for those type of things. You may have to manually put in your APN settings for network access if your carrier isn't listed.

OK, first of all if you use the HTCDEV unlock method, you HBOOT screen will only show UNLOCKED, but it still shows S-ON, so you never really have true S-OFF with the HTCDEV method. The unlocked bootloader will allow you to flash custom images, such as boot.img, recovery.img, system.img, etc. but not radios like a true S-OFF bootloader does.
So the key is does your HBOOT screen still show UNLOCKED at the top? If so, then you can still boot into CWM recovery and flash another ROM.

And also it would be great if you used regular font sizes and colors...
since that was your first post, the heavens forgive you
but i need to look away cos my eyes hurt

S-on usability

Since I don't have the patience to do S-off, I was wondering since my Vivid is already unlocked / rooted how hard it would be to install a custom rom? I already have WCX recovery, btw. I googled but could not find any instructions on installing a custom ROM with S-on. I want a de-sensed rom or Elegancia ROM. Can I do this with s-on, and how?

Google my signature their roms are for s-on
wcx experia-ance rom

Use holics Rom I used it when I was S-ON and it worked great just flash the boot.IMG in fastboot and your good to go

You can use Elegancia Rom while being on S-ON you just have to flash the boot.img via fastboot. When I was S-ON that is what I did and no problems at all. If you have any questions please feel free to pm me will be glad to help anyway I can.

S-off isn't that hard. Takes maybe 10-15 mins tops so long as you read everything thoroughly and follow the instructions to the letter.

I managed to get Elegancia ROM on it no issues, (Even without doing the fastboot boot.img flash? it's weird. I still get the AT&T bootscreen and Beats screen, but boots to the rom) Only the battery life is HORRIBLE! I didn't even get 12 hours on a FULL CHARGE! Wifi, GPS off.. only background apps running were Facebook and Gmail. Screen brightness was all the way down. I did try a battery calibration, before hand.
Also... How do I do the fastboot flashing? I hate to sound like a noob, but I did have an Inspire 4G which was easy to flash roms on

You need to download and install fastboot and possibly adb. Google it.

******EDIT*******
