[Q] arrr help

bit of a noob trying to put a nice rom on my phone..... cant get by the first bit lol,
2 problems
1 followed noob guide as regards to the revolutionary key, go the key (all case correct ect) but only got invalid key every time. So, thought maybe it did work , i better check the hboot..... Can i get into the hboot NO!!! just keeps starting the phone every time. Yes i hold volume down and press power, yes i have disabled fastboot and i have tried taking battery out..... nothing, just loads up normally every time!!
Im on a vodafone sensation , just down loaded the new 2.34 automatically, have i done somthing for the hboot screen to be nonexsistant now?

get into recovery through ADB.. with Command prompt. its on the guide as well, download adb
http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html

ok down loaded adb from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
theres 2 applications fast boot and adb, with phone connected to pc both only flash up and then disapear there command box thing. Have i done something to block or skip the hboot screen?
this is turning into an absolute nightmare! my hd2 was so easy lol all this and i havnt even s-off yet, let alone recovery, wipe and rom ( ithink)

would a factory reset bring it back?

Did you back up your phone prior because if you did, your can start from there, if not and you must, factory reset should help solve your problem.

Well managed to s off god knows how lol. I found in the file I down loaded an called flash, I knew the flash would do nothing as the phone was still locked ,the cod stayed open for this and obviously it could not flash... But It the end it put my phone into the boot screen where I saw I was still on "on" so back to drawing board, now I new the key was case sensitive but I had still managed to get a capital "i" mistaken for a small "l". Only replied this when I copied and pasted to note pad where it was obvious. What a donuts I am. So now the beta key worked and I'm "off". Wahoo!. Now I think I have to root the phone and then I can put energy ROM... I hope. Thanx for your help guys. But I'm sure iv still got the hard bit to do now lol

Congrats! Just remember to back up before flashing in the off chance the file you downloaded is corrupted or you dislike the results

+1..... i also recommend this and i also recommend downloading the ruu for your phone. saves alot of time when tryin to turn your phone back to s-on. ive seen alot of post of people askin what ruu they should download for whatever reason (mainly warranty issues) when all they had to do is check and download the correct ruu before flashing anything on there phone.

htc desire s problem(SOLVED)

I recently brought a htc desire s rooted with sense 3.0. Today when i was downloading an app the phone blocked on the start screen and i couldn t do anything. I got the battery out and reiserted it but after de load screen ..nothing..i could see the screen was lit but nothing.After repeteing the process for 5 times it finally worked and the phone started..What could be the problem? Please help me. And also superuser is not working. it says it failed application or something like that every time i use it or some program tries to use it..The same with programs that require root.They just fail.the rest of the programs work perfectly and the Sense ui is smooth. What could be the problem?

hey..may be the root was done badly..steps missed..try reformating ur fone..re-root and install a fresh rom..Htc runnymede sense3.5
works grt!

the good thing is that your phone is not bricked
i would check what eMMC phone has
and of course flash a new rom

reboot to recovery and check for error messages like: "E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log"

how do i check what emmc chip it has?And what do i need to look for?

Just be careful with pulling the battery... there is a known issue with the Desire S where that menrioned eMMC chip gets messed up when power is disrupted by pulling battery... apparently Power and Vol up Vol down all at the same time pressed do reset the Desire S when a freeze occurs... also.. update apps in market only one by one... and read the threads here in general section a but further down..

Thanks for the info...but how do i find out what emmmc chip i have and what is the best rom to flash? Mine says proxuser but i cant overclock or anythnig? Cyanogen for the desire s is good?

use esfile explorer start it up tap left upper corner the star select phone then follow this path /sys/devices/platform/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:0001/ tap name open as text tap the first choice.
Mine is m4g2de which is the crappy one i think not sure

Do an s-off and re-root the phone with this
Don t install su 3.0 ,it s terrible unstable on desire s.
Try to flash a custom rom( that is more powerful than Stock rom)

We all are in the same boat!
I was getting system freeze in the market too... but after proper system formating... and flashing fresh ROM it was OK!

so what is the best rom? i am really afraid now that i might broke it..should i sell it and biu a new one with stock rom? wait for the official 3.0?

I used four the last few month the Virtuous Unity ROM which runs perfectly on my Desire S with excellent battery use...ATM however I am on MIUI ROM which I also really like as it is so cool with theming...just try them all out...at the end your own preference rules! ;-)

Just copy the ROM in my signature to your sd card and boot into recovery, and use install from sd card option to flash it.
If you want a sense 3.0 ROM, this is the best out there. For Non-sense ROMs, you can try CyanogenMod or MIUI
However, i would first recommend that you download 4EXT recovery (link in my sig) and flash that instead of CWM (from inside recovery). Then use the format option to reformat your system, data and cache partitions to ext4 and then flash the ROM.

Glad to know youre up and running without problems. Just trying to help.
Might i suggest that you edit your first post and amend the topic by adding the prefix [SOLVED] to it, so its clear that you've found the answer you were looking for?
It will also attract the attention of those in a similar predicament as you were in when you started the thread.

No. I have this "chip" too, and as long as you do not do a battery pullout when the phone is switched on, you are safe. There is no hard and fast rule that your phone will get fried just because you have this chip. Lots of people have it on their phones and most aren't even aware of it! So i wouldn't worry too much about it.
Even if by mistake, you do pull out the battery while the phone is powered up, DO NOT REINSERT IT IMMEDIATELY. Wait for around 30 sec to a minute, then reinsert it.
This is very important. You shouldn't be doing battery pulls, but if you HAVE to, wait for some time before putting it back in... i guess it'll give some time for the capacitors to discharge and not cause a spike of current when you reinsert after some time.
Seems to be working well for people who are doing frequent battery pulls, despite being on the same eMMC chip as us.
Hope this helps you.

I did the hard reset and the phone stays on th htc withe screen, a need to remove the batery for the phone to turn of
the phone does star up but its locked, i have the emei unlock code but wen I enter the code the phone says succssesfully unlock but wen the phone restarts its stays on the htc withe screen
I´ve been browsing arround and I thing it has a corrupt rom or something like that

thanks!

Well, I'm at a loss but let's see where this goes until someone else who knows joins the thread
While the phone is off press and hold the volume down button and while holding it down press the power button.
Wanna see if you get a few options there or if it boots normally.

do I need to do the alternate-flashing or RUU?
how do I know withs one to download
the AT&T Inspire 4G - Froyo
or
AT&T Inspire 4G - Gingerbread
edit: I thing its the AT&T Inspire 4G - Gingerbread because the radio numbers,

Its the same. The alternate method is flashing the ruu. And use the gb one.

Go to the HTC site, and in the support section download the GB update file (.exe). Boot into hboot (power + volume down) and then choose fastboot (you will see fastboot usb in red).
Then, let it work....that should flash the GB stock rom.
Just 1 piece of advice...NEVER INSTALL A FROYO RUU if your device was shipped with GB or you are not sure with what OS it came with....you will mess it further....

If ruu didn't work it doesn't look to good. You can try flashing the pd98img and maybe have better luck with that

HTC DESIRE S stuck at HTC White screen after flash Plese help!

Hi all,
I just tried flashing miui 2.4.20 to an HTC DESIRE S.
1)Before doing so, I unlocked the bootloader using HTC Dev tool
2)Rooted using superclick tool
3)Installed CWM Recovery using fastboot
and then flashed the rom....it won't go any further than the white HTC screen on reboot even though it looks like the flash is successful. I tried reflashing several times with no luck can someone please help?
EDIT:Just realised that I had to flash the boot.img using fastboot...problem solved.
Is there a way to make the Desire S completely unlocked so that I can flash using cwm without the need of fastboot?

Yes. You need to downgrade your hboot, there are guides for this in the general section, you'll need to find a compatible ruu, get back to stock rom and then use revolutionary to S-Off

I have flashed many devices(Desire, Desire S, HD2, HD and One X) a hundred of times because I am a beta tester. So I know the ins and outs of flashing. But this time I need your help guys.
I have unlocked my Desire S (Hboot is 2.00.0002, S-ON, Radio 3822.10.50.24_M)
flashed TWRP recovery
flashed Viper Saga 2.1.3 JB
flashed boot.img
And the Rom booted and installed. All fine so far.
Now I want to install a different ROM.
Flashed the new PACman JB_2.2_v22 ROM, and boot.img. But this time I got stuck at white screen. So I tried CWM recovery and even 4EXT. Flashed Rom and its boot.img again. No luck. Stuck at white screen every time.
But now the weirdest. At the end I flashed TWRP recovery, Viper Rom and its boot.img again. And damn, I'm stuck at the white screen again.
Also weird is that I am not able to flash an official RUU after unlocking the bootloader again. When plugging in the device I can start the RUU installation proces. But during the sending firmware proces, the phone screen remains black with HTC on it for hours. So I had to remove the cable and boot the phone into bootloader again.
It looks like something is blocking these two processes.
Any ideas? I searched through XDA and on the internet. The only thing I can find to solve the white screen with green HTC is flashing boot.img. But that is not the issue.
The problem and sollution with the RUU installation, I haven't seen at all yet.
Hope somebody could point me in the right direction.

To flash an ruu you need to lock your bootloader. As for the other issue do you know what panel your phone has, it's not an issue on sense roms and only becomes apparent in jb roms. Check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1943524

Thanks for your reply.
Yes I've locked my phone again before installing the RUU. Made no sense. I've tried 2 WWE RUUs both with the same issue.
What panel I have I really don't know. Viper is sense. Worked om first flash. But after flashing PACman, the boot issues started. Now even Viper is not booting anymore.
I check the thread you posted. Will try the kernels. See what is happening.
EDIT: flashing these kernels do not work, because I'm S-ON. Need boot.image.

As I wrote. I've tried all of them. Am now on 4EXT. But still facing same issues. White screen with green logo.

I'd start fresh, make sure your unlocked, check the drivers are installed correctly (are you on win 8, if so check post two of link in my sig) format all but sd in 4ext, flash rom (sense rom to start) flash kernel. Your obviously no noob but sometimes we miss the obvious. I'm around for a bit so report back

Don't worry about it, 4ext is the best recovery for our device. There seems to be a few issues with the other two.

Some one briked the phone

Hello! On my work whe have a lots of Desire S phones. One of my colegues manage to unlock one. The phone was working fine. The phone was passed to another colegue (the first went to retirement) and whe he tried to update something (wireless and with less than 25% of batery) the phone got stuck... I been doing everything that I saw here on XDA... So what can I do? Thank´s...

Phone got stuck, as in stuck at htc logo?
Have u tried to enter into recovery/fastboot?
If able to enter into fastboot, give us the details u see there, or a screenshot would be good as well if you are unsure what detail is to give.
What was your friend updating? firmware? if you are on a custom rom and tried to update the official firmware then it is a no no no no bad boy no u shouldnt have done that.

So on the phone :
Saga PVT ENG S-OFF
HBOO-6.98.200 (PG8810000)
RADIO-3831.19.00.110
eMMC-boot

Try a full wipe and see if it helps.
If it doesnt help i would suggest u to flash a new rom. either way u will loss ur datas.
* make a nandroid backup before proceeding.

But I cant acess to the SD card. In fact I cant acess to the recovery mode! Do there and the only thing that shows is the red triangle... I all ready did a golden card but nothing....

Not sure if it's you posting or some one with the same issue, but check this out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1920636
read the 2nd post and try it out. if it is indeed a fried emmc chip there are a few way(not sure 1 or 2 out there) to salvage ur phone, or u could just replace the chip, there is a post some where in general section.

I think I guessed the problem.
Someone wanted to update ENG S-Off Desire S (with old ENG bootloader) to official ICS RUU. The update "completed successfully", but since the bootloader didn't let the update overwrite itself - the official update can't work, because it expects /system/lib partition that doesn't exist on old ENG bootloader.
The solution is to flash new ENG bootloader (7.xxxx), found in Development section, and then run official RUU again. It'll work and the phone will work again too.
By the way, the solution can be easily found if searching - I already remember such a thread. "Red triangle" is a stock recovery, search could have easily told you that. And goldcard is useless by itself, it's needed for flashing RUU.
And if the above doesn't work, because RUU gets stuck updating - address the "fried eMMC" post.

You cant go wrong with seniors like Jack_R1 watching over desire s forum. :fly away:
