DesireS quite dead after update

hi guys
yesterday I updated my DS at 1.47.401.4 and apparently it worked well, no problem at all... untill about 2 hours ago, when the phone rebooted by itself with no reason.
Now, after the "HTC quietly brilliant" splash screen it remains stuck with a purplish screen, I tried a to enter in the recovery mode but it doesn't sorted out the problem... now the situation is even worst... the phone doesn't boot at all, it's completely dead
does anyone has a suggestion?

Exactly what happened when you tried to enter recovery? and do you mean bootloader? Is your phone S-ON or S-OFF, did you apply Alpharevx? What version of HBOOT do you have now?
Ensure that you keep the phone charged when your not testing recovery and bootloader options.

yeah we need more info to help u
do u have root?

the phone is as it came out of the factory, no root, no custom rom or any other modification and it's s-on
I don't know the hboot version, at the moment because i can't enter in any menu
sadly I think that the best thing to do is to send it to htc customer service

thats only thing.if u bricked phone via htc update they need to repair if u are still have guaranty

Remove the SD card and try to see if it boots, its a long shot but it might be a simple corruption.
It's probable your going to have to send it back though.

Puoi provare a fare una cosa, nel caso si sia corrotto l'installer: stacca la batteria e rimuovi dalla memory card la cartella Download (che potrebbere ancora contenere l'OTA). scarica dal thread delle shipped Rom la RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.47.401.4_Radio_20.28I.30.085 AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199410_signed ( è l'installer ufficiale completo della nuova rom 1.47 Europa no- brand).
A questo punto metti la batteria e la memory e prova a avviare il telefono in modalità bootloader (tenendo premuto vol - e accensione finchè non entri nel menu che ti visualizza s-on in alto), collega il telefono al pc e lancia l'installer seguendo le istruzioni. Se tutto va bene dovresti riuscire ad installare la 1.47 ufficiale (anche se con l'hboot al momento non ancora sbloccabile, ma mi pare che non ti interessasse visto che stavi facendo l'ota su una non rootata e ancora bloccata). In caso contrario puoi provare a fare il tutto con la RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.080 5U_38.03.02.11_M_release che è la rom che avevi di fabbrica.
Buona fortuna!
se non riavvia nemmeno in modalità bootloader (ricordati che prima devi scollegare la batteria, altrimenti tenterà di avviarsi con l'avvio rapido) temo dovrai mandarlo in assistenza. Se risolvi controlla la memory card con un checkdisk o un diagnostico: è possibile che sia difettosa e che si sia corrotto l'installer dell'update OTA.
And now in english
You can try to install the 1.47 from the original RUU installer:
remove battery and memory card (cleaning the OTA update if present), re-insert battery and microsd and reeboot in bootloader mode (vol- and power). Download the official 1.47 no brand RUU installer from this thread, connect the Desire S to pc and launch the installer following onscreen instructions.
Now (if works) you have a working phone with the lastest official firmware, but you cannot make s-off with alpharevx at this moment, because this also install lastest hboot. If you want to s-off you can use instead the RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1
Good luck!

Wow! I tried that same update last night. It seemed to install OK then said it needed to restart. It did then came back with a little blue android with an exclamation mark in a triangle over its head. It stayed like that for like 30mins then I pulled the battery. It's been working since but I live with fear!
EDIT: My phone has been S-OFF'd and I have root...

You cannot install ota update with alpharevex recovery and any rom modification. You can anyway install new 1.47 using separate zip to flash manually radio rom and 1.47 pre rooted

thanks to InfernalByte and heavyhms for the suggestion but I have already brought the phone to an HTC center... now I have to wait about 10 days...

The update did not install. After 30mins I pulled the battery and rebooted. It continued to offer the update till I clicked discard. The phone cost me quite a bundle and I still like it very much so I don't think I'll be doing that again!

after the ota update 2 days before my phone rebooted and i saw a little green android with a triangle on in with an exlamation mark in it in orange colour.
the phone was stuck in this state having 70% battery.
after that i pulled out the battery and reinserted it again.
the phone started but it had stuck in the htc logo doing nothing.
the phone after all the above started not charging and not turning on any more.
i tried another charged battery but the phone completely dead and i send it to htc.
now waiting to be repaired since my phone ****ed up from their sure untested update..!!!!

I updated my wife's DS and now it's dead :/
If freezez while boot or right after boot
It has no root, no S-OFF

It seems, that HTC new update couses a lot of problems here.
I can reply that mine have been updated perfectly with .exe stock RUU. I had S-OFFed and rooted. Maybe it just faulty hardware which starts malfunctioning just after this update?

You need to delete the OTA update (located in memory card\Download directory) or the system try to install at every boot

Ok, my problem is a bit different but I think its connected to this update. When I updated it, phone worked fine for a couple of hours then all the sudden I cannot connect to my network service. Changed 4 different SIM cards from different providers here in Serbia, and no luck. Phone has stock rom, nothing was rooted, modified or anything similar... Help please ?

Yes, I actually didn't have any problem with the upgrade. Am I lucky? Despite that I switched off the automatic system updates.
I only had a small problem today: the phone was very slow this morning, when I toke it. I had to reboot and all went ok. My ROM is the original one too.

EDIT: I used an other sdcard. But I can't find the update on the original sdcard. Shouldn't it be in sdcard/download?

How to root without PC

Hello Guys
I always root my old devices without problems following your guides but.......
I've a problem connecting my tf300 to Win or Linux pc via USB; when i plug-in the cable it says "unkown device".
Obviously i tried to install many kind of drivers, asus sync or universal drivers without lucky.
My question: is there a way to root my device without pc? (or just in case do you have some proposal to solve my problem with unkown device on pc?)
Thank you so much in advance.

You can use framaroot to root it, it just installs an app to try rooting.

There might be something wrong with your tablet then. I used kingo to root mine just the other day.

Nah it'll be a drivers issue - it always is.

Give the naked drivers a try: http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...nt/adb-fb-apx-driver-universal-naked-t2513339
They worked at my tablet flawlessly with kingo root.

If it worked before, but doesn't now, you might be doing something wrong.
Just to be sure: is USB debugging on, and did you install the correct drivers?

[Q] [HELP] GSmart Arty A3 Rooting

I just bought this phone and it proves unrootable. Any help in allowing root on this model would be greatly appreciated.
Already tried with vroot, doesn't work since phone restarts again and again until I disconnect USB
I need root for low - scalle modding it for my taste and deleting unnecesarry bloatware.
Anyone with any advice, help or guide, please help
Regards

Its very simple..just go shuame.com.
Then ckick green android logo ..and download the app..run it on your device ..it should work..But im not shure..

shuame.com not do it.

It would be great if we could ask some senior member to see what's needed for this model to be rooted. It's relatively new device and it isn't unrootable, just no one with enough knowledge of rooting didn't get it yet....I hope root method will appear soon...and this thread won't die...
EDIT:
Rooted with vroot.apk
googled it, d-led, installed and it worked
used it for debloating my phone and then deleted, because AFAIK it's not safe and is treated as malware
so if you need workaround and root for this model just google this apk and use it
regards

For google play to work it needs some other apps that are hidden. The best would be to flash gapps package for your phone. This will require root. But just so you know, Google Play and all other dependecies (apps that google play needs to work) MUST be installed on the /system partition to work. This also requires root making the only way of proprely installing Google Play possible only with root (or a just a custom recovery such as CWM or TWRP)

Imei is the least of your problems, you can brick your device making it completely useless. But that is VERY unlikely with the Framaroot. Cant you just write down your imei number on a peace of paper? To get the number you dial *#06*
Anyways I have rooted many devices and never got a hard brick. I had a soft-brick countless times but I know how to fix it.
Keep in mind that rooting will void your warranty but it shouldn't break anything (in most cases).

Make sure you installed the latest version (1.9.2) and that you tried all the exploits (all the buttons below)
If you have tried it I recommend using iRoot (previously known as vRoot) or if that fails try Kingo Root.
Make sure you have installed ADB Drivers and Google's USB Drivers installed. Here's a 15 second installer.

Try iRoot PC version. It is waaay better then the android version and works 90% of the time.

my understanding of YunOS, it is a custom Chinese ROM that rejecting google play. there's no indication YunOS works well with Google play even I browsed thru BBS and search engine in China

quiero saber si le funciono su instalación en YunOs yo tambien tengo un celular chino y no me da nisiqiera el Chip no da como puedo liberar el Chip?? y hacer que de Play Store???
porfavor alguien ayudeme
