Wildfire S won't load custom ROM's

So i'm new to flashing custom ROM's and such, but I do understand how to do so.
Basically, I've tried the custom CM7.1 and CM9 Alpha 4/5 ROM's to no extent have any worked.
They just get to the load screen, and the animation keeps playing over and over.
It does this for all of the ROM's that I have tried, so i must be missing something
I've got my phone rooted, with S-ON still. I used htcdev.com to unlock it and some form of rooting program to root it.
I can check when I get home seeing as i'm at School right now.
I'm hoping to get ICS working on it, so I can finally use this Bluetooth Keyboard.. Sigh
EDIT: I used HTC Supertool to root my Wildfire S

are you pressing any buttons to get into recovery? or is it just bootlooping into it? you tried flashing an ruu? on second thought to flash an ruu, dont you need to have a locked, or relocked bootloader? and that requires fastboot, which is in hboot. damn. maybe you can send it off to htc?

Try Flashing a Sense rom with APM, AKA MyOneV RC 3.0, and reboot into bootloader, and try Flashing an RUU

First of all, the rom is fine. It boots fine, it installs fine. The partitions are fine (it has the same updater-script like CM9), so I VERY MUCH DOUBT that the rom deleted your Hboot or anything... Try downloading One V all in one tool and from there select reboot phone in bootloader. see if that helps.
Thanks,

hey guys... thanks for all the help, i din say anything about the new rom doing this... but well i flashed rc3.0 and restored data, that fixed it... and sounding incredibly stupid it seems my battery was low... anyway its fixed now... i'm gonna try flashing paranoid once more when my battery is fully charged...:good:

it was not tested completely. will need to do it so today! but try that fix. in general the FC's are from the DPI lowered...

looks like some prob with SU, it denies root access, tried updating it from play also tried changing default to prompt and allow, still doesn help... i loved the rom but if it doesnt let me make or take calls... well i guess i'll have to wait for the next update...

Mate chill out, this isn't some sorta invention you have created, this has been possible since CyanogenMod 10 first came out, you can do it for other Jelly Bean roms too.
........and breathe.

[Q] Still without root...

So, I have tried time and time again, and am still no closer to getting my phone rooted. I have spent hours reading all over these forums, and Google in general, and have yet to get a straight answer to my question as to why my phone refuses to root.
I am thankful for the advice offered, such as trying SuperOneClick that does... well, nothing. [Says my device has no drivers, yet,. Windows sees my phone as an Android device, and the program generally locks up after]. Was told that my image is faulty, and yet, somehow it's still installed on the device/working fine. [Was suggested to re-download the CW MOD image, and re-install] And it just goes on and on... then silence from the community.
So, to boil it down to the nitty-gritty, the only thing I am getting is, while I -attempt- to install SuperUser via CW, I get this:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed!
So, please, someone, assist me in getting my phone rooted!

try installing superSU...
Now, super one click ... don't use it, it isn't for our roms.
you should be using Odin to flash CW, and then downloading roms and flashing with CW
If you want support from the community, why not offer more information...
What are you running now ? UCLH ? UCLJ ? Jellybean, Gingerbread, ICS ? How did you obtain the version that is running on your phone now ?
i've discovered the only way to root Gingerbread is to download a pre-rooted rom.
ICS, install CW w/ Odin and then flash supersu or superuser .... There was, at a time, I couldn't get ICS to root and had to download a specific SU or SuperSU not on google store that I found by searching the forums ....
Give us more info, as much and as detailed as possible and we can help you further.

I used the official update from Samsung when it was fully released... finally. So, running 4.0.4.
What's SuperSU? Is that different?
For more details, I posted already to the fourms here before they went silent:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35750419 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35811065
As you can see, I tried everything, it's like my phone's being annoying... is it do-able to just re-set the phone to stock Gingerbread, and then just update using another ROM? And, if so, what one do I use? I just want a stable experience. Like, with the leak that came out not too long before the official, there was the keyboard error, and I even had issues with placing and receiving calls...
At this point, it's getting to the point where I am willing to basicly go back to out-of-the-box, then root the sucker, if I can do that. Seems perhaps a clean slate is in order, anywho.
Thanks for the quick reply, though.

Why not just install clockwork recovery and flash dmans stock rooted ROM? Since its comes per rooted for you?

#1 what version of Odin are you using?
#2 What version of CWM are you using? Where did you download it from ? (Here I hope : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2007198 )
#3 Where did you get SuperSU from?
#4 Are you downloading it with your phone's browser, or are you downloading it to a computer and transferring via USB ? (It's possible you have a bad flash card/RAM in the computer/physical hard drive in computer).
Do NOT use Superoneclick, there is no SOC that will work for our phone.
It has been some time since I have used ICS. I had completed the stock download from samfirmware.com, installed CWM 6 with Odin 1.85 and (taadaa) attached to this thread the same version of Superuser I used to install via CWM.

I stumbled on this randomly.. no usb hubs i guess..
Are you using a USB that is a direct connection to the motherboard? usually that can cause issues, if your not on a connection to the motherboard it won't work..

From my computer, via USB, and not likely at all. Every component is new, and to make it more amusing, I did all this in the past with the leaked ROM before I got this new system on my last compy, so, yeah... if -both- computers does the -exact- same thing... prolly time to format the phone, and try again, somehow?

..okes.. I feel like somewhat of an idiot. I decided to just try one last time to get the recovery mod in there again, and, for whatever stupid reason, instead of seeing a blank background with the Android, I saw the CW icon, and a silver icon... I told it to apply SuperUser as I have tried so many other times, and it just... worked.
The closest thing I can figure is that my browser, and my eyes told me that I had multiple copies of the current CW Mod, but, in my working directory, I unzipped the -old- version.
To make it simple; I -now- have root on my Glide, woot!
*runs to un-install all the bloat ware*

I didn't realize that CW hadn't installed properly for you ... good to know it's working for you now! ..

[q] omg please help!! :'(

Guys, the problem is whatever rom i flashed and how many ever times i flashed the same rom i cant access my onscreen buttons( i cant do anything without it ), notification pannel, i cant download anything in play store( stucks in installing.........). please help guys :/
When i connect to my computer i can see my device in " my computer " but there is no files in there its empty. and the firmware version i get by clicking properties is 1.0
Please help guys :'( . i dont know what to do. is this because of kernel? or firmware?

Is there anyway you can rewrite this ? I don't understand your problem. You have left out important info..like, what firmware are you on, what have you done to the device, your recovery, any unusual problems with your recovery ? It might be a very simple fix such as reflashing a RUU or partition-fixer.zip. rephrase what you are trying to say, and I'll see what I can do for you

Strange
