Hi XDA. I did post a topic to do with the same handset but I've requested for it to be deleted as I'm going to post all the current details on my handset and the status of it, just so it's easier to look at the problems.
Modes the phone can run in: Fastboot, System Recovery and USB-MS toggle.
Through backup and restore, nothing works, requests everything through ADB despite having tried that also. Flashing new ROMs after wiping the phone and SD entirely doesn't work, it still gets stuck in the loop no matter what ROM I use.
I have extracted the ROM and system/boot.img's from an Orange RUU via and tried installing the rom and the img files separately but the ROM came up as "bad" and I don't know how to use the .img as they don't come up. I think if I flashed the fresh boot and system images it might work, but that's just me. I have also tried installing the RUU from fastboot, but that doesn't work either, it just searches for images and reverts to the fastboot menu with no indication for the RUU install. I've tried wiping the SD and using a fresh SD and still nothing, still looping.
I'm at my wits end with this and I don't want to have to sell it faulty if it's fixable or "not" bricked..
Its not bricked, if it was then nothing would happen at all.
Although I have never heard of this problem before and the only possible solution i can think of is to connect try and update to the official ROM, which would remove your root access and most likely not let you root again, but this is still better than having a non-working hero.
Hope you find a solution

Good to know it's not bricked, it means that it CAN be fixed somehow.
I have said in the post that I can't get into Android at all expect the boot modes and USB-MS toggle. This means I can't get into sync to install an RUU, which I couldn't do before anyway. I have extracted the ROM from an official RUU but that and the sys.img and boot.img won't flash either. The .img files don't even show, since you can only flash .zip files.
Thanks anyway!
Sorry guys, i need to bump this... :-(
Any suggestions?

I'm not sure I 100% understand the problem you are having here. I guess you are trying to root essentially, since you are trying RUUs and zips (whilst rooting might not be your end goal, it sounds like you're trying to just now).
Make a gold card, and use the HEROIMG.zip method to flash the ROM.zip out an RUU. At work so can't explain fully, but search on these terms for help.
It's already rooted, it's just stuck in a boot loop, and I can get into the states I mentioned above. And I've tried a few ROMs off here and that doesn't seem to work. Tried extracting the ROM from an official RRU as well, which is why I mentioned it.

When you hold Home and Press power do you get into the recovery screen?
Which recovery screen have you got installed?
Have you waited more than 5 minutes for a new ROM to load the first time?
Have you run logcat and watched the output whilst it is loading a fresh rom?
Have you wiped everything before flashing the rom's update.zip?
I get into recovery, I have RA Hero installed on it. And it's sat for over 5 minutes..

You have two options, leave it for an hour and see if it boots. Make sure you do a full wipe and then flash VillainROM or another established ROM. Don't use any beta's or alpha builds.
Alternatively you can get a logcat report going and post that up.
I'll try the first option when I finish work, I'll try Villain as it's what the Hero had on it before this happened.
Are there any guides to doing a logcat report? I tried doing,one once but I didn't seem to get much out of the instructions I was given. Thanks for your help so far .

there is info on setting up adb. Then do "adb logcat > logfile.txt" and send logfile.txt
Anon I'll try that at the weekend sometime when I get a chance.
Btdag I left the Hero on until it died, nothing but the Hero screen. Guess I need to bump here again once logcat is done..

I eventually was able to delete a file from my SD card which allowed me to get into recovery from boot, so all is good now thanks.
Hey everyone:
As you can tell from my username I'm a n00b to the rooting scene. Yesterday, I helped my brother root his HTC Sensation, install CWM Recovery, and load CM10 nightly build.
When we tried letting the initial boot run its course, the device got caught in a boot loop. And today I only made matters worse, I had my brother wipe the whole thing to where the phone won't even mount as a USB device, it just tries to install drivers and fails when you connect it. However, while in recovery, fast boot commands work. Anyways, I'm trying to figure out how to restore the phone to stock and I just can't get it to work.
What I need help with is how to flash the ICS rom for the phone, and how to mount it as a drive (It currently is wiped with no OS.)
Can somebody please help me?
Thanks.
P.S.: I apologize beforehand if this is in the wrong thread.
Well you can try to put another jb ROM and then flash the bootimg in fastboot. Are you s-on or off. I think if you want to go completely stock you can search it in the threads for the sensation i think they have a step by step to get your sensation stock hope i helped you.

Yesterday I tried to update my phone, after reboot in install the new version, it gave me a red triangle and didn't boot anymore, I tried to recover but didn't work, I tried to reset the mobile to factory settings but it didn't work, I feel like I need to install the original rom but I don't know how, any body can help? but know that I can not boot the phone at all, so it's not like upgrading to new version, it's like installing new rom through the computer, thank you very much in advance
post this to the HTC Desire S forum for more question
HTC Desire S
but I think you need to flash the stock RUU of your phone.
Thanks
