Root Stuck on HTC screen after S-OFF.

So I just performed the S-OFF procedure and after that, I was officially S-OFF.

Then it went into 4ext recovery and told me that it was in "Safe mode" and told me to reformatt everything except the SD card, so I went on and did that.

Now when it reboots, it goes to the white HTC screen and just stays there.

Plus, I tried to adb reboot bootloader and it said that the device wasnt found.

I'm scared.

I need help.

I think you wiped your ROM. You need to flash a new ROM or a backup of your current ROM.

Make sure you turn smartflash off in 4ext now that you are s-off!
 
I've gotten the safe mode message from 4EXT before a few times. I ignore the whole part about wiping everything. The most I've done is wipe cache and dalvik cache, and then reboot back into recovery. The next time, it doesn't say anything about safe mode.

If it happens again to me, I'm not going to wipe anything at all, and try rebooting to see if goes away.
 
Silly me, I didn't try to do the VOL-DWN + PWR button method.

But I mananged to flash CyanogenMod 10, I wanted jelly bean but I don't like it.

I'm gonna switch to Harmonia and flash that next.

So I guess I solved my own problem.

omg I feel so dumb. Thanks for the replys anyways.
