[HELP] I bricked my DS!!

Hello,
This morning I was in the market ( My Apps) and i chose Update all option. Loads of apps started to download, and after few minutes my phone froze. So i removed the battery and since then I', stuck in the bootloader menu:
AlphaRev
SAGA PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-6.98.1002
RADIO-38.03.02.14_M
eMMC-boot
Mar 10 2011, 14:58:38
I can't do factory reset or access recovery. At some point I have successfully ran RUU, problem is I'm on UK O2 but being complete idiot I installed 3's ROM. Even the 3's ROM don't boot up. I can't run RUU anymore, because every time RUU is trying to reboot into boot loader it get stuck.
So,
I got phone from O2 that has a 3 logo (its stuck on it),
I have S-OFF phone so it probably voided the warranty.
Can anyone think of any solution please?
Thanks in advance for your help guys.
If you need more info please let me know.

There are at least 5 similar topics, one is mine (same thing happened to me). Use search.

Does adb works yor you ?

yeap I have also created a topic on this.
I had to send mine back to HTC to fix.
What I would like to know is, if you send it back to HTC, would they notice the s-off and charge you money?

What ROMs were you all on? I got a similar problem on stock ROM after XTC Clip S-OFF, but a battery pull fixed it. I guess this only happens with S-OFF stock ROMs, so switch to avoid this.

No, adb doesn't see my phone....

Remember with adb you need to be in Fastboot not Hboot! Very important. Cab you get into Fastboot?

When I run Adb devices it doesn't list my phone...so it doesn't work i suppose....
If I send my phone to HTC for repair will they accept it or will charge me because of S-OFF??

I just need my phone to be in the state so I can send it to HTC...I need to at least get rid off 3 logo and S-OFF...

Try flashing the eng hboot by PB88IMG method, and then try and run the correct RUU. That's my best idea.

I have tried that, but I got the error that I can't roll back to older version of hboot.

I have just booked my phone for repair.. I'm gonna act stupid. I'll tell them that my friend installed something on my phone etc. Probably won't work... I will let you know what they said.
HTC gave me some terms and conditions to read and one of the says:
2.3 NonWarranty chargeable Repair Service
a) Repair of a Device that is
In-Warranty but which needs to be repaired including the following or similar
reasons shall be classified as a NonWarranty chargeable Repair Service:
1) Accidental damage. Accidental damage to the Device, such as dropping it
on the ground or in water. 2) Broken Liquid Crystal Display (hereinafter
known as “LCD”). 3) Damaged Sync or Charger Connector. 4) Damage
caused by liquid entering the Device, or other misuse due to the failure of the
Customer to follow the instructions properly. 5) Failure of the Customer to
upgrade the software according to the procedures outlined under the
warranty terms card of the Device. 6) Downloading illegal software onto the
Device. 7) Where the fault is caused by downloading illegal software onto the Device
or other accidental damage, the Customer shall be required to pay for spare
parts, labour, diagnosis and software refurbishment along with shipping and
handling charges.
Is S-OFF classified as illegal software?

Everything except RUU is illegal software...

Wrong.
Its not illegal but you have probably invalidated your warranty. The thing is HTC have to bother to check your phone for custom software and a lot of the time they do.

Quick update.
I have sent my phone to HTC for repair under warranty yesterday. I have checked the status today, and it says "We are repairing your phone" So it looks like HTC don't check if the phone was rooted or have S-OFF

I've done the same i tried to flash a ruu image that was the wrong one i followed a thread on how to get s-on again just so i knew i could. I got s-on but now my phone is stuck on bootloader and is not recognised by the pc Please let me know how you get on and if you get charged as i will be doing the same i think.

Aren't custom Sense ROMs illegal ?
Coz Sense is HTC Proprietary framework.

How to root mytouch 4g Slide NEW hboot

Well Im going to quickly explain my way I rooted the new hboot (NOT S-OFF)
In all my time trying all methods I found a couple that did things for me.
First was the all in one kit http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...-mytouch-4g-slide-amaze-4g-rezound-and-vivid/
this I used to unlock boot loader and have a recovery img
but it didnt want to root my phone. So i tried other things like the bear wire method which i wouldnt rec. and came across a thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1508556&page=3 that said "how to flash ics with s-on" and it was pretty simple so i tried it and it flashed a ics rom and when I went into the it was rooted! Su granted and all.
With that said I hope this can help people who want a little change until a s-off method comes about but this is a whole lot to work with for now.
Thanks to everyone and I hope this helps.
I have :
Doubleshot pvt ship s-on rl
hboot- 1.45.0013

Cool, thanks!

Unlocking through htcdev and then installing recovery and superuser.apk will give you root permissions....not hard to root anymore. If you want s-off it is a bit more tricky but even with s-on you can flash roms just have to do kernel seperately

I did the wire trick also. It took me about 10-15 times for it to actually work though. The 0.4 version of the program worked with me. Just takes patience and truly following instructions. Now I don't have to flash ONLY at my computer anymore. So glad of that!

For me, the first couple times I tried it the response was always something different (from it saying things like "couldn't find bar" to "connect device" even though it was connected). I asked around a little but since it was still kind of experimental there was no definite answer for much of anything. When I got ver 0.4 a few of the same errors happened but not as much. For some reason I found that restarting my computer and then running the program worked. Every time I did it went further in the ControlBear program, then finally when I did the wire trick the phone rebooted but not into fastboot, it just stayed at the boot animation logo while the program finished its work. I think the results vary for everyone...My SD card did crash but I was able to restore it with the info Indirect posted. It was an extra card tho, I keep them laying around.
Ok so heres the link. I still have it ---> Ver 0.4

Good day, and welcome to XDA!
What is the OS on your PC? Windows, Mac, Linux, or something else? Which drivers have you tried? I had good luck in the past with the adbsetup package, but your mileage may vary.
Hope this provides a good start.

[Q] Help Please - HTC Sensation Bricked

What does the computer detect? fastboot not working either? are you S-Off? try connecting it to charger with battery outside and see what happens.

No bootloader on VolDown+Power press, no indicator LED light when connected on charge with or without battery.
Phone was S-Off before this hepened. PC detects phone on USB connection and Device Manager says "qhsusb_dload" for device.
ADB/fastboot does not detect phone on connection.

What matters is your CID. unless you have SuperCID you need the exact RUU for your device. go to bootloader and via fastboot type fastboot getvar cid. This will give you your CID.
Here is a list of Sensation RUUs:
http://www.androidruu.com/index.php?developer=Pyramid
I suggest using an ICS RUU, as it will allow you to avoid messing with firmware (will flash it by itself).
Good luck.

Started to work with restats maybe you can get in your fast boot by now?

if you are still on S-OFF you can use any ruu.exe which means a GB one too
but you must have supercid
by the way can you boot now to the bootloader?

Yes, it is S-Off still but now after recovery, unrooted.
I can go into bootloader via VolDWN+PWR.

ok then check your cid
if you aren't supercid you can change it with this command

then you can use any ruu.exe including GB one

it is better to use the GB ruu.exe just to be sure

My CID was HTC__036 so is that got something to do with bugs i had or is it just preventing you
to flash RUU packs? I do not really understand how it works tottaly. Is it better if i cange it to 1111111 and can it be restored back to stock after?
I got problems with WiFi, BT and FM, thay not working so one of the options are to fully restore the phone by removeing custom recovery, S-OFF, and everything and get it back on factory GB OS so it can be sent on repair.

if you change your cid to supercid(11111111) then you can use any ruu.exe you want
with cid:HTC__036 you can use a specific ruu.exe
and no cid has not to do with bugs
after supercid you can revert it back to the original one if you want
after ruu installation it will remove custom recovery but the S-OFF will remain

Ok, i seen someware how to restore S so only thing now is to find that GB RUU. Can someone point me to the file on that RUU list and
what about radio and suff. Does it need to be same radio version as mine now or?

look at my previous post number 12

You got S-OFF / superCID infact you can flash any RUU of any region/provider as long as is not older than the installed one.
Which country/region you need?
You should look here for the RUU http://androidruu.com/?developer=Ville
Step by step guide from "Flashalot" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2678700

Thanks for quick reply... Can you give a complete procedure & exact firmware RUU? Because most HTC phone in my country don't have a supported Box like Spookey if i get Deadboot phone... I need more ideas & information...

First thing is first, you need to update the firmware. [URL=" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2322755]This link [/URL] should help you about that since the device is s-off. Then flash a custom recovery, I recommend twrp 2.7.0.0, mount sdcard via twrp, copy the rom's zip to sdcard, install rom from recovery. That's all.

Hope so too
When its done, you can install a custom recovery. I prefer TWRP http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/ville
You can flash it with this tool --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2471151

I just looked out the bandwidths for the One S. In the USA its only sold by T-Mobile and Solavei. Both providers use the GSM(As used in Europe) frequencies and that means the choosen RUU should usable in the USA too.

Yes sir, i always used Europe Firmware for every phone brands for universal use...
Off Topic:
I've finished all download software & firmware, but the battery phone is less than 30% said by the RUU software, i'm disassembling the unit now, then unplugging battery into motherboard to separately charge the battery by using RPS...

Normal charging while phoe is turned off does not work?

I think its not charging when connecting to charger because the phone does not in normal mode, and keeps restarting and restarting instead of charging... i observed this before using multi-tester its just stuck at 3 volts, yet not make a fully charge caused of phone faulty...

One more thing... If i passed the RUU, then in Custom Recovery what should i choose in S4 variant or S3 variant?
