Help Please : stuck on white htc screen after flash ( SOLVED ) - HTC Incredible S

Was running icecoldsandwich but decided to go back to stock
Downloaded ruu vivo .exe and flashed but now stuck on white htc screen
Cant get into recovery anymore as when i click on it just takes me to a picture of a phone with red triangle and exclamation mark
I put the rom.zip file and renamed to PG32IMG and flashed via fastboot but still stuck on white screen.
Been searching for fix for 5 hours but dont know what to do. Need phone for work tomorrow what a mess !!
Any help really really appreciated

If you unlocked using htcdev.com you still have to flash the boot.img manually, otherways it will be stuck at white screen with HTC in green letters.

yes mate s off

Rerun the ruu.exe, but while you're still in the setup, find the rom.zip somewhere in your Temp folder on your computer.
Rename to PG32IMG.zip and put at the root of your SD card.
Now reboot in bootloader.
Maybe this works but I'm not sure, and don't blame me if something goes wrong, because I'm still new here.

OK, since you are S-OFF using Revolutionary, you will not be able to install the latest Sense 3.0 RUU because Revolutionary is preventing the RUU from overwriting its HBOOT with the locked HBOOT 2.00. The reason you are getting stuck on the white screen is because the Sense 3.0 RUU requires the locked HBOOT 2.00 be present.
Look in the Development section This is a stock, rooted ROM based on the Sense 3.0 RUU that you can flash since you are S-OFF. First you will need to reinstall ClockworkMod recovery and then you can flash the stocked, rooted ROM or any custom ROM.
If you really want to return to stock using the Sense 3.0, then you need to search this forum for the way to return to S-ON and then you can flash the RUU.
Hope this helps.

Please read the OP again. He has attempted to flash an official HTC RUU, not a custom ROM. The boot.img is not the issue, it is a HBOOT issue!

OK, if you can't connect with USB then FASTBOOT USB mode isn't an option. You need to create a PG32IMG.zip with the CWM recovery.img file in it, copy it to your SD card and flash it from HBOOT mode.

This will not work with the official Sense 3.0 RUU/ROM that he is using!!!! You can flash that boot.img all you want, but if you do not have HBOOT 2.00 installed on the phone, this ROM and boot.img will not work! It will bootloop on the white screen.
That boot.img requires that HBOOT 2.00 be installed because it uses a new /LIB partition to be mounted and HBOOT 2.00 is the only one that supports it.

[Q] HTC Incredible S stuck in limbo :(

Well here's the story, someone gave me their phone to root (i'm the official rooter in my city ) and i accidently skipped over a major step, infact a few of them.
1: I unlocked the phone and flashed clockwork touch recovery
2: Did not backup the original non rooted rom
3: Did not S-off the phone
4: Flashed Android Revolution HD
Now No rom is working, IT gets stuck on the white HTC logo. At least tried 2-3 of them. Cyanogen and ARHD to start with. Tried a few RUU but those aren't going through too. Tried extracting rom.zip from the RUU and flashing manually but they dont work.
Attached is an image with the details of the Firmware on the phone and radio atm
I checked the HTC CID and it's 044 ... Any sort of help would be appreciated.
I feel bad for your city where did you get cwm touch recovery?
Have you flashed the boot.img in fastboot?
If flashing the boot doesn't work. Couldn't you just attempt to s-off through fast boot and flash the RUU etc?
Sent from my Incredible S using xda premium
I feel sorry for them too, now that i screwed up, for the first time though
Well my hboot version is 2.01 and it wasn't supported in revolutionary.io 's s-off method. Didnt think it would work any other way. I dont know how to downgrade it to 1.13.
I got my clockwork recovery from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14693680 this post. If only i can find the original rom/RUU which i can flash and just reset it to the original factory rom. :| i tried 3-4 of the RUU in the filefactory folder that's listed in the incredible s shipped rom section but none of them work.
Can i change the CID in teh android_info text file in the rom.zip of the RUU ? would that work ? apparently the zip is claimed to be corrupt when i try adding the same file back.

I'll ask again, have you flashed the boot.img in fastboot? The link you provided has no touch recovery in the OP or am I required to read all 29 pages?
If you're using cwm from the OP, you should update. Here's the newest version I know of http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
To your question about flashing an ruu with a modified android_info on an s-on device: no.
You can find what ruu you need by entering the command
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main
the number returned corresponds to the ruu that you should be looking for.
As you are an experienced rooter you probably already know to wipe cache and usually data when you flash a new Rom.
@vizzy how would you gain s-off in fastboot mode?
HTC Incredible S/Vivo cwm-4.0.1.4-vivo.img
md5 : a556a81054cd8cfe623eed5f4b8e518b
this is hte file i posted from the link i shared before. Which exact boot.img are you talking about ?? Also most of my rootings were done with either unrevoked or alpharev which required minimal tweaking . I'm no pro, just try to give it my best
Also the version that the fasboot command gave me was 3.11.707.1. (thanks for that tip, i'll remember it). Going to search for it
Also how can i S-off in hboot or fasboot atm ??

Because the phone is s-on, the way you need to flash a custom rom is as follows:
Install zip from sdcard in cwm, then extract the boot.img file from the zip file and flash it in fastboot I.e
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
these steps are included in the newbs guide sticky
THANKS !!!

Ok, so you modified a PG32IMG.zip file and replaced the recovery.img file right?
Then you copied that file to our SD card and booted into HBOOT and that ran OK?
Where did the PG32IMG.zip file come from originally and what recovery image was in it?
I think you need to download the 3.09.708.2 RUU and use the recovery image from the ROM.zip file. You will need to unlock your bootloader again and then I would try flashing the recovery.img directly in FASTBOOT USB mode using the command
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Then relock the bootloader and try installing the OTA again.

Another thought. While you were rooted, did you delete any apps from the ROM? If so that is another reason why the OTA would show progress and then just stop.
If extracting the recovery.img from the RUU doesn't work, you will have to reinstall the RUU to go back to a complete stock ROM and then the OTA will install,

Where did you buy your phone? You should run proper RUU (according to phone's region) then you'll be stock and able to receive any OTA you might be prompted.

i bought it from my service provider and didn't flash any other ROM before, only the recovery, so I think its ok?
You gonna need stock recovery to be able to receive OTA. So you better saying which country is it of your service provider to get proper stock recovery from RUU.

You're not f***ed, dude You can get your recovery back by flashing a new one trough a PG32IMG.zip. To unroot your phone properly it's not enough to just flash a RUU. I once found a great guide on the internet but it's in German. But it worked for me, so it's definitely possible

plz tell me how , because i already downloaded a pg321img from somewhere but that failed, and i`m now downloaden PG32IMG_VIVO_ICS_35_S_HTCCN_CHS_4.08.1400.2_Radio_20.72.30.0833U_3831.17.00.24_M_release_264218_signed.zip is this the good one?
The red triangle with the exclamation mark is the 'fail' indication in stock recovery, it seems that your ruu has written the recovery but has not written hBoot which is why your hBoot reads 6.xx (revolutionary). My advice is to get a goldcard micro sd card and re flash the ruu using a pc (provided that your inc s can go to hBoot USB). Then you will be unrooted to stock.
Edit.
Downgrade from pc using goldcard and USB mode. Use a gingerbread ROM, preferably from your region, or English WWE and not the ICS Chinese ruu, unless you're from China.

How'd you get s-off using revolutionary? Didn't you make a goldcard for it? There's an excellent tutorial in the sticky section on how to make a goldcard. If I remember right, it takes just the 15 min including the time it takes for the revskills site to email you the IMG file. Best of luck.

OK, here is what you need to do:
1. Boot the phone into FASTBOOT USB mode and then flash ClockworkMod recovery image using the command:
fastboot flash recovery [path to recovery.img]
That will restore ClockworkMod.
From there you can either restore a previous nandroid backup you made or flash a new custom ROM.
Here is the link for ClockworkMod recovery image:

Install CWM from sd card

Hey, is it possible to install CWM via sd card?
Because I'm stuck at the htc logo and cant't boot into recovery..
The phone doesn't boot, too.. stuck at htc logo
The Problem is that my device isn't listed under adb devices..
I'm s-off via -revolutionary-
thank you!

Yes, look at this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24699433&postcount=9
It has an attachment of a PG32IMG.zip file that contains CWM recovery.
Ok thanks that worked!
Can you give me the link to the new official ICS from HTC?
I want to install it via CWM because I'm s-off

You will not be able to install the Official HTC ICS RUU because you have Revolutionary HBOOT installed.
That is how you got into this position to start with. The Revolutionary HBOOT prevents itself from getting overwritten even by official HTC RUU. Since the new HBOOT didn't get written correctly but all of the other pieces of the RUU did, it will leave you in a state where it hangs on the HTC screen.
At this point if you want to remain S-OFF, then you need to install a custom ROM that can be flashed from CWM recovery.
he can't fastboot boot boot.img it like for s-on?
I've been using stocks with s-on and hboot 1.16 with cwm and its fine, i just need to do the fastboot trick...
There's a flash able zip of the RUU that doesn't care for S-OFF. It's pre rooted and everything.

Hi,
Is this image for HTC handsets only? I have the same issue with my PC, so I need to install from SD to my Alcatel 4030X
Cheers.

Not only is the zip file for HTC handsets only, it is specifically for the HTC Incredible S.

Install a sense based rom
thx for your reply but im completely stuck at cwm.
and for rumrunner i need to be rom booted. so how do i get s-off, when im stuck at cwm.
everytime i start with power on he goes directly to cwm
Edit: and it isn't even listed anymore in adb devices
edit2: i have unlocked my device again and now it isnt stuck on cwm. it tries to boot now with HTC logo then changes to cyanogenmod logo and he is stuck here now
Did you relock the bootloader before you attempted to install the RUU?
If you did and that didn't work I would recommend installing a different recovery. Most ROM developers use TWRP which you can grab here: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/164
then try to install a basic stock rom for your carrier, or if you are on T-Mobile, AT&T or any GSM carrier (including International) use any sense based rom like Android Revolution. Re-lock the bootloader then try again. The issue might be just that you have an unsecured or "unstable" kernal and the RUU doesn't like that.

my device is unlocked now and when my phone boots it is stuck by the boot logo of HTC one then going to cyanogenmod
i managed to install TWRP but i can't install a rom because i can't put it into the sdcard
in fastboot it doesnt find it under devices and therefore i cant put any rom in it.

buy a USB OTG cable, which is available in most supermarkets or on any site if u prefer online and costs abt $5. This cable is basically micro-USB(ur charger port) to a full USB port. Put ur rom zip in the USB, go 2 TWRP and flash the rom directly from the USB.

thx for the tip, i think i will get one
ok i managed to adb push the custom rom into data/media/0 with recovery mode
how can i install it now?
EDIT: after every reboot my pushed files are gone
If I assume you're still using TWRP simply click "install zips" and navigate to the file you pushed over. The phone should do the rest and you'll have a stock kernel and os to work with.

No He cant use that RUU because his hboot version is 1.55. you need hboot 1.44 to use that ruu and the only way to install that ruu will require s-off.
from htc1guru.com
You will need S-off to run the RUU if you have a higher firmware version on your phone currently.
You may need to flash hboot 1.44 before the RUU will install. S-Off Required.

Now download this guru reset
Move the .zip file to your adb/fastboot folder of your computer
boot phone in bootloader mode, select fastboot, then connect usb cable to computer.
enter twrp recovery then open a cmd prompt from your adb/fastboot folder
Code:
adb push name_of_guru_reset.zip /sdcard/
when the transfer is complete, in twrp select ''install'' and chose the zip that should be at the root of your sdcard
then follow instruction in aroma installer.
