[Q] Problem with flashing rom??? HTC Desire S! Please help! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have a mayor problem with flashing my HTC Desire S.
I have S-Off and the phone is rooted (i have the superuser app and can allow superuser clearence).
But, when I flash a new rom it all goes well until I restart the phone. The the phone gets stuck at the HTC boot screen (the white one with the HTC logo).
I have tried Miui, CM7 and some Saga Rom. Both with Rom Manager and with a manual recovery. I have also tried Boot Manager without any result. When I flash I wipe the memory, cache and Dalvik cache.
The only thing to do then is to restore a backup and go back to the original rom.
So, please help me. What am I doing wrong. I have swiped the internet for answears without any result.
My Phone:
Android version: 2.3.5
HTC Sense-version: 3.0
Softwarenumber: 2.10.401.5
Kernel-version: 2.6.35.10-g9ac6c7a
Basebandversion: 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M
Versionnumber: 2.10.401.5 CL156318 release-keys
Thank you!

How long do you wait (when it's at the HTC screen)?

At the most I wait for about 30 minutes.

Well you aren't doing anything wrong, so you'll just have to continue wiping data and flashing roms until one works.

Allright. Thank you. The strange thing is that the roms seams to work on other phones of the same model. What could differ from my phone?

Are you sure all the roms you are flashing are made for your device?

I think so. I have been downloading them from Rom Manager and XDA and verified that they are for Desire S or Saga. Could it be anything wrong with my HBoot version?

You can still flash custom roms, just not OTA's or RUU's

I've already nanoid backup.
Lets say I'll go ahead & experiment with custom ROMs, & that fails, the phone will get stuck with whatever screen or black screen.
You think I can use Toolkit V1.1 by hasoon2000 to boot to Recovery & restore it?
sorry for asking too many questions, I just want to avoid issues.
Thanks

If you have a nandroid of your stock rom, aslong as you do not wipe your faux sd card. You can return to stock no matter what.

You can recover the device through these steps,
1. Boot into 'bootloader'(vol down+power)
2. relock the device.
3. Install RUU.
That's all. Whack the THANKS button if i helped..

The kernel actually doesn't have much to do with your situation, but that's another explanation for another time. All you need to do is follow my guide for the unbranded HTC Amaze and you should be able to get your phone running you may even be able to go to post number 2 and get it working for now on GB
First things first, what company is your device from?
I tried

Stuck on HTC logo.

I'm probably going to get some serious flame for this post, and that I can understand. I clearly didn't do enough research. Firstly, forgot to make a back up, more so, figured there wasn't anything I needed. This is as of now how far I have gotten. Successfully unlocked, installed TWERP, flashed ARHD8.0, flashed boot.img from ARHD8.0.zip. Now I'm stuck on the HTC screen. Is this because I didn't flash the proper firmware or because I couldn't install and run SuperSU? I appreciate any help I receive. I've been reading through the HTC One X+ forums for days and am quite frustrated with myself. This is my first high-end smart phone and I know I can't get/afford another one. Thanks in advance.
Is it att or international version? How did u flash the boot img ? Sounds like it didn't flash succesfully.

It's a Telus model. HBOOT version 1.40. Flashed the boot.img through cmd prompt. Flashed ROM through TWRP and ADB sideload. Because it is an EVITARE_UL model can I only flash certain ROMs? I successfully flashed the QX Senseless v2.0 ROM but upon first boot, after I pull the lock ring my device just reboots over and over. (after pulling the lock ring)
Well. The problem is that u flashing international rom on att/telus model. Look for roms which state it's for att not international. Like elegancia 6.2.0 and do the same procedure u did with arhd 8.0.

I finally got one. I've installed a few roms already. Ok, I'm sure you've heard of the black jelly rom. If you have then you might have the answer to my question. On my htc one v it installs and works and everything. But it stays on for about a minute then restarts. PLEASE HELP

I don't think I have. I am assuming you have S-Off, if so lets start all over again, first wipe, then install the rom, then get the kernel from the zip you just flashed (the rom) and get the boot.img and flash that through fastboot (which you should have on your computer already, right)
here is the thread i followed to get myself up and going and use it for reference in the future if you need any help
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1598964
OK. The black jelly is like the fastest ROM on my HTC. I flash the boot.IMG. where is the kernel at? No I don't have s-off. Do you suggest I do
