A friend of mine bricked his Desire S..
He told me that the Phone froze and he pulled out the battery.
Now it won't boot anymore.
Now i want to reflash the RUU. But the problem is that i can't use any of the RUU's i can find on this site because the phone is vodafone branded.
When i try to flash it in the bootloader it says "CID incorrect".
Now i did find this rom:
RUU_Saga_Vodafone_UK_1.32.161.1_Radio_20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.15_M_release_179398_signed.rar
But this version is too old. It won't flash.
HBOOT-0.98.0002
Radio-3805.06.02.03_M
Anybody any idea what i can do to fix this?
or where i can find the RUU for the version which is on the phone.
Do you have custom recovery installed ? Or the phone is s-on ?
Pulled battery may have lead to fried eMMC chip. This is why phone isn't booting anymore.
Maybe you can make a goldcard and try to install whatever ruu. Search it over xda. If you don't have a fried emmc chip it will work.
Anyway... That is a really bad idea to pull the battery off the desire s. It is the major factor which causes fried emmc. If phone is froze, try to hold vol +, vol - and power until it reboots. Or try adb reboot.

Pls give some info about your phone. s-off or not ? Custom or stock recovery ? Stock rom or custom ?...
Sent from my Desire S with Virtuous Affinity
Thanks for the quick response.
The phone is completely stock still.
So no other recovery either.. Can access the phone via ADB.
Only fastbook seems to work.. But don't have anything to flash..
About the gold card. With this i can flash any RUU?
I'll look into this.
Thanks again. I appreciate.
Ok, so your phone is in a bad mood. Maybe try wipe data in stock recovery ? All phone data (apps, messages) will be lost but sometimes it helps. Try it and tell results
Sent from my Desire S with Virtuous Affinity
And yes goldcard allows to flash any ruu.
Sent from my Desire S with Virtuous Affinity
Wipe didn't work unfortunately.
Looking into creating a gold card, but it's going to be difficult.
Don't have another Desire S here.
Did try to get the SD CID via my own phone. (Evo 3d)
But for the Desire S sd card and my own sd card it gives the same CID via the goldcard helper app..
Ah yes, adb is not working. Only Fastboot.
When i do fastboot devices:
C:\WINDOWS>fastboot devices
SHxxxxxxxxx fastboot
But did wipe data were successful or not ? Was it interrupted 2 sec or so after you pressed power with no output ? Or did it tell "data wiped", "data wipe finished" or sth like that ?
Sent from my Desire S with Virtuous Affinity
The wipe didn't display any msg.
Basically only the image with progressbar.
It looked like it was in a loop/didn't do anything.
Kept de phone like this for an hour and then just powered it off.
I got the Gold card working now. No more invalid CID msg with non vodafone roms.
But now with every rom i try, it just stays @ flashing hboot..
Or with the old Vodafone rom i have it still says that it's older than the software on the phone.
Pff i'm running out of ideas.
Well then : ruu stuck @ flashing bootloader, loop at wiping data.
You have a fried emmc chip, as I suspected.
Now, don't touch your phone anymore and send it back to htc for warranty purposes. They know that issue, and you haven't made any modification (s-off, root or whatever) they will repair your phone without any problem.

Boy oh boy, I had a really tough few days trying to flash a custom rom. I was pretty heavy into flashing roms from the G1 days until I got my sensation on the day it was released. I then took a long break. Well 2 days ago I decided to Unlock my Bootloader through the HTC website. Everything went well. I did notice the ******UNLOCKED****** in the bootloader I also noticed the S-ON(security was still on). I didn't think this mattered. Was I ever wrong. With that S-On you cannot flash new radio's. I have never been able to flash a PG58IMG.zip file from hboot/fastboot. I can however flash recovery's from fastboot using (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img).
Seems as if every single rom I tried needs the Security-OFF to work correctly. I was able to put clockwork mod 5.0 on my phone, and install super wipe, and several roms, the problem I ran into is I would get a error under the switch for wifi. Wifi would not work on any of the 5 roms I tried before this one. I was wanting to give up and go back to stock for several hours. I tried the RUU to bring me back to build 1.27 and build 1.29 both were unsuccessful. I was stuck at build 1.73.401.2 and no way possible to get back to stock. And picture this living in a area with tmobile that is still using the edge network(2 ****ing g) OMFG I was so mad trying to even boot a new rom without wifi is a nightmare, took me literally 20 minutes to download rom manager. Anyway's this rom was the last one I tried before busting my phone into pieces.
Rom's I tried:
1. Android Revolution 3.6.1, and 4.1 (3.6.1 booted but had no wifi)
2. RCMix 3.5 v04 (bootloop)
3. LeeDroid booted fine (no wifi)
4. I believe there was one other I tried. NO GO
5. Then I flashed this one late last night, and to my surprised it worked.
I was so happy I almost pissed myself.
Oh yeah I tried many irc channels, one was the revolutionary.io irc channel, I was able to successfully run the rev.io tool and it showed as a success however my S-was still ON. I talked to these guys for about 45 minutes looking for other ideas. They pretty much told me I was screwed and that it had never been tested after you unlocked through HTC. And it simply might never work.
Anyway I guess what I am getting at. For anyone else that might have to go through what I did.
1. How in the world can you get you phone back to complete stock?
2. Why is this happening?
3. Why is my wifi not working with any other rom? And everyone else's is?
4. How do I go about getting my S-OFF?
5. Does anyone know if you can RELOCK your bootloader through HTC so that I can turn the SECURITY-OFF and "then" unlock the bootloader.
I probably have more question's. I just wanted to see if I might be able to get a few answers from you fine people. Help me understand what in the world is going on and how many other people are dealing with what I am dealing with.

Personally i would just do the normal s-off method as it gives you a little more freedom compared to HTC unlocking method.
My wifi is dead too, but i have no way of fixing it at all, i've got a thread called "wifi is dead" in the q+a section of the sensation forum.
Let me know if you get yours working, i imagine that if you revert your phone back to stock again and then use the alpha rev method that you will have better luck.
1. You can Relock your bootloader using HTC site but this time u will see Relocked instead of Locked
2. No idea
3. Did you try resetting your router? Works for me. Also try flashing a different radio.
4. No idea
5. You can relock bootloader on HTC site but have no idea of you can unlock it with Revolutionary again.
Try write secureflag command, just search for.the correct one on xda. Also, try flashing your RUU and then s-offing via revo.

this is Solved and the wifi error is because of kernel included in Boot.img
you can use the following solution to install any custom rom without wifi errors
first read " how htc dev works " to have an understanding why this happened to you and why you are still S-on and why you can't flash Radio . link is here " Solve WiFi Errors , Radio Flashing Problem , Caused by htc Dev Unlock Method "
the solution itself is in the following link , Read title " Custom Rom Flash " and "[FONT="][ Implementation ][/FONT][FONT="] Successful S-OFF using my above method " . [/FONT]link is here " Successful S-OFF after brick (wrong S-ON) for ICS or GB , Downgrade OTA firmware "
this also solve wrong S-on Brick , hope that helps
Press the thanks Button for this Post
Hi I would like to know if anyone out there knows the solution to my problem.
I have a HTC Incredible S. And I gained s-off and rooted it. I flashed clockworkmod recovery many times before. I used Android revolutionary's rom and Nik's Trinity Sensation XL rom before. Now I've recently flashed a new rom, which is the RunnyDroid ROM by the pvteam. ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1374852 )
Now I found another ROM that I would like to tryout. But I can't seem to get my phone into HBOOT. I always used revolutionary to get my phone into HBOOT ( they'll detect your device and it'll say your phone is already S-OFF and then they ask if I want to download clockwordmod recovery which I usually type Y )
But after flashing the runnydroid's rom, whenever I type Y in revolutionary, the program will stop working and it'll say windows detect a problem or something like that. I can't seem to get into HBOOT. Any help please? I'd appreciate it loads! THANKS IN ADVANCE!
Hi,
So the post in the Incredible S section says:
5. Pull out the battery and wait 5 seconds. Put the battery back in again. (This step is needed in case fast boot is enabled..)
6. Press vol down+power. HBoot (white screen with 3 android logos at the bottom) should load.
This is what I do on my Sensation as well...
Hope that helps.
[Q] [FIXED] Problem getting back into HBOOT for HTC Incredible S
hey thanks! That totally worked for me and I have just flashed a new rom ( CoreDroid )
But now I seem to have a new problem, I can't detect any signal at all. When I looked for the network under mobile networks, it says error while searching for networks. Do you know how to deal with that?
OK i will admit I am over my head on this one. Frustration kicked in and I think I just lost all the data on my phone (pics and videos and everything which is the worst part). Here's the story.
I was originally on Team Venom 4.2 and was having random reboots.
I tried fixing by updating the Radio to ATT 3.18: http://d-h.st/DcT in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1694012 I flashed WITh the RIL (under the line that says do not flash these with newer roms) yeah I know.
flashed 3.18 again without RIL (above the 'do not flash' line
flashed att 2.0 radio
so now my radio still isnt working, tries to prepare sim card and will not work.
now I am trying to flash a new ROM to rewrite everything. tried to install android revolution HD. http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.com/p/android-revolution-hd-mirror-site-var.html
flashed the android revolution boot.img file and attempted to flash the android revolution rom and would not flash, rebooted twrp after 30%
messed around in twrp a bit and hit factory reset. thought that would do a reboot of the android install. looks like i just formatted my sd card AND deleted android operating system. i cannot reboot into system 'no android os installed' and under twrp file manager i have NOTHING LEFT in my sd card. except the twrp folder. the phone has not been rebooted since.
DID I JUST LOSE EVERYTHING?
i am seriously interested in getting the pictures and data off the sd partition somehow. that is my main concern, i will deal with reinstalling android afterward.
any help will be rewarded, thank you in advance.

First, what phone do you have? We will need the first five lines of your bootloader to help you later.
If all you need right now is to try and recover the files and you are on windows, here is a freeware file recovery program I've used in the past. You will need to be able to mount your sd card in TWRP.
http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Back-Up-and-Recovery/Recuva.shtml
Once you get that done, you do have some problems to work through (Android Revolution Rom is not for our phone.)

Ok, first, you're all over the place. Why did you install a radio+RIL when it explicitly tells you not to? It's actions like this that get people like you into a lot of trouble and destroys phones.
Secondly, there is no Android Revolution HD for this device. I believe you have the HTC One XL / at&t One X (Evita) judging from your post, but like I said there's no ARHD ROM for the Evita, only for the HTC One X (Endeavoru). This leads me to believe that you're jumping between the two device forums, very bad idea, none of the stuff from the Endeavoru forum is compatible with our phone.
You're lucky the ROM install stopped otherwise you would have bricked your phone. Long story short, you have no OS because the ROM install didn't complete, you have a corrupt boot partition because you flashed the ARHD boot.img which isn't compatible. In future do not stray outside our device forum for any reason at all. Here's our forum main page, bookmark it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1538
Next. Performing a factory reset in TWRP recovery does not wipe user data (images/music etc). I'm not sure what you've done but the factory reset in recovery wasn't it. A factory reset performed in the bootloader does however corrupt the sd card, so never do a factory reset from the bootloader.
You might have a chance at saving some of your data using a data recovery tool in Windows. You'll need to mount usb storage in TWRP for Windows to access the sd. Do not under any circumstances do any writing to the sd card before you attempt to save your data.
In conclusion, you've made numerous mistakes with your device. You need to slow down a bit and educate yourself a bit better, a lack of knowledge when it comes to modifying devices is a very dangerous thing.
Please post the first five lines of your bootloader.

There isn't and never has been an Android Revolution ROM in this forum. It's kinda easy to make the mistake, the forums are named similarly.
I'm 99.9% sure you weren't s-off before all this. A phone can't change the security status without you doing it manually. It just can't happen. Did you actually go through either the Facepalm or Rumrunner s-off processes?
Well, you definitely have the Evita (HTC One XL / at&t One X) so make sure you stay within the forum I linked to earlier.
Good luck with attempting to recover your data, I hope you get at least some of it back.

Ok so as far as mounting my sd card in twrp, there's something up with my screen touch input I think... I am not able to click that particular box in the 'mount' menu. It seems like that part of the screen was not clickable when installing roms and such but once I get into android everything works perfectly.
Is there a way to rotate the screen in twrp?
Also by looking at my bootloader info once I get my sd card mounted and recovered best as I can, what is my best plan of action? Re-lock and flash a stock att ruu and begin from scratch or what? Or just try and load a correct radio and rom? I'm not a complete newbie I know I made a foolish mistake but I have done this quite a few times playing on the inspire, cha-cha, my kids nabi 2 tablets and on this att one x. This is the first time I have gotten really stuck in probably 35 flashes. Just this time I might be over my head...
To be honest I've never tried rotating the screen while in recovery, so I'm not sure about that. Exactly which recovery type (CWM/TWRP) and version number are you using?
I think your best plan of action would be to run an RUU, this will bring everything back to the way it should be. You're lucky in the sense that you're still on quite an early firmware version, so you should have a couple of RUU options. One thing to be careful of though, absolutely do not run a jb RUU if you have SuperCID, it will brick your device. SuperCID + s-on + jb RUU = brick. We should check your CID just in case, connect your phone in fastboot mode and issue this command:
Code:
fastboot oem readcid

There is absolutely no ARHD ROM for EVITA. You've made a grave error, and as timmaaa mentioned, you are lucky your phone isn't a paperweight now.
EVDEAVORU is partitioned completely differently from EVITA, so all bets are pretty much off on whether your data is still intact or not. The ROM itself may have overwritten your data. Also, if you happened to do a factory reset in hboot instead of TWRP (as you mentioned) this will corrupt the SD card on modded EVITAs (known issue, and somewhat common error).
Your best bet is to get the phone back up and running using timmaaa instructions. Then see if the files are still on the SD. If the data files aren't easily visible, you can also try data recovery programs to see if they can be salvaged (sometimes corrupted files get dumped to a temp folder, or otherwise recoverable).
But I wouldn't hold my breath on recovering the files. This is what always puzzles me (why folks never back their data, then freak out when its gone of damaged). If your data is important to you, its important enough to back up. And there are so many easy methods to do so (with built-in cloud backup apps and whatnot) yet so many folks neglect to do that. And all you are left with is regret when things do south. Its pretty much a no-brainer to backup anything important to you when modding the phone. I'm puzzling why so many folks never do it.
So since I have the 1.09.000 hboot i am going to download and install this:

is this my best bet? I am going to try and check my CID status right now just need to download the android SDK and get that going...
**EDIT**
my CID is 11111111. is that superCID?
**EDIT**
looking for a way to remove superCID. If i just go S-off am i OK to run a RUU or should I keep looking to change my CID back?
**EDIT**
just downloaded WinDrid HTC One XL Toolkit and seems to be up and running fine. my plan so far is to S-off and run the RUU I posted above but I will wait for someone to chime in before I do anything else.. I feel like I am on the edge here and don't want to brick it... I can't find any way so far to return my CID but from what I read if I am S-off it should keep me safe.
S-off won't work unless you're able to boot into a ROM. I'd forget about using a toolkit for now, it completely bypasses some much needed learning, and doesn't always work anyway. I believe all you need to do is relock your bootloader and then run the RUU.
Sent from my Evita.
Ok I will look into how to re-lock that after work today. Can anyone else confirm this? Not that I don't trust you but wording it like 'I believe this will work' makes me ask again...
I'm 99.99% sure it's only the jb and above RUU that you need to worry about while s-on and SuperCID.

ICS RUUs are free of the S-on and SuperCID bug. Plenty of folks have flashed that RUU (such as 2.20) with SuperCID with no issue.
so I am going to relock the bootloader, it's as simple as 'fastboot oem lock'? that's it? before doing so should i bother s-off first? here's my plan of action:
s-off
relock bootloader
run 2.20.502.7 ruu
unlock bootloader again
install twrp
load custom rom
that should work correct?
If you s-off first, I believe you do not need to relock the bootloader to run the RUU. Just s-off, then run the RUU.
As I've previously mentioned, you won't be able to get s-off unless your phone will boot a ROM. The above process looks right.

Remember also to either s-off or change cid back to normal, it will assist in the future if you get in a jam like this.
Although s-off and flashing a rom for a different phone(like you did) may have ended up much worse as some of the checks that likely saved you will be disabled.
At very least do not OTA/RUU update to Jellybean while you are s-on and supercid!
Hi, I need help FAST!
I have an AT&T (sim unlocked - done so because I live in Europe, not US) HTC One.
So, a few days ago I was playing smart and decided to install custom ROM to my device.
I've done everything as said until the S-ON procces. I ran the Rumrunner but I obviously messed up something
without knowing so it was left S-ON. So I went on to the install of dustom ROM wich I did, but I 've got stuck in a boot loop and I could only enter my recovery and bootloader. And to make matters worse I somehow succeded to delete al my files from "sd card", HTC One doesn't have SD card slot, as you know, (it has internal storage) so I deleted all my personal files ( I backed up photos, and other personal stuff to my PC in case something like this happens )
and my SuperSU and custom ROM zip files. Then I found out about flashing stock ROM, so I relocked my device to do so but the proper RUU has prooved very hard to find, I 've tried 4-5 RUUs from htc1guru.com for Cingular (AT&T) bot none worked. Maybe I should look for SIM unlocked RUU because I 've SIM unlocked it from AT&T. Now I am really annoyed and angry because of being so stupid and trying something I obviously couldn't achieve so please don't write down trere " Oh you are a noob for doing that " because I know that and I don't need any extra comments for playing smart and bricking my device. SO PLEASE IF ANYONE ON THIS FORUM CAN HELP ME, DO SO!! If i don't manage to finally fix this somehow I'm going to pay someone to fix this.

Also, see if this All-in-One Toolkit that @hasoon2000 has developed helps you. It could help you get S-Off from the bootloader or recovery or help you find the proper RUU image version of your HTC One:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183942
Also, can you get into recovery? Like TWRP or Clockwork? Have you tried installing a rom.zip image version for your phone instead? I understand the HTC One M7 doesn't have an external SD slot, so chances are that you don't already have a rom.zip file in your phones directory but you could always sideload one through TWRP or Clockwork from ADB on your computer.
I would search the forums for an HTC One M7 rom.zip image and sideload it.
T-Mobile HTC ONE M7 bricked?
So I did something pretty dumb yesterday. Installed the HTC Sense 6 update on my HTC ONE M7, hated it so decided to root my phone to revert back to Sense 5.0 or 5.5 or potentially try a custom ROM. Downloaded a Tmobile 4.3 JB RUU, downloaded android SDK, HTC sync manager, Fastboot. I unlocked boot loader, installed Wheaton recovery by Koush, installed SU, figured phone was rooted but it wasn't. Now I've somehow succeeded in deleting EVERYTHING. Phone continues booting into recovery. Commands using Fastboot aren't recognized because it cannot find any device. When plugged in via USB, PC recognizes that something is plugged in but that's about it. I tried using a tool that was guaranteed to help me revert back by helping me re-lock bootloader but of-course that didn't work because of the error code stating "device not found". Below are the information that is currently displaying on my screen.

so i got a htc sensation z710e and works fine, network unlocked.
i have a smart watch but the thing wont work on ics ONLY above so i decided to stick a custom rom on to bring me up to the required android version to use said watch.
my phone has the 127.000 hbooot and it says s on but unlocked above in pink after i ran windroid and unlocked bootloader, it also had root and cm recovery 5.2.0.2 or watever number it was.
so on i went to try and install a custom rom. 1st i did cm-9.1.0-pyramid and it just hung on the cm9 boot up screen THEN i did cm-12-20141205-UNOFFICIAL-pyramid and it goot error 0 so never did nothing. and lastly i tried revolution 1.03 and it was promising went thru all the installation buff and jargon and then same again just hangs on the htc boot logo.
before i install zip files i wipe dalvaik. battery and data i think its called.
i can still get into recovery and hboot but cannot for the life of me get a rom to boot and tbh its draining the life out of me as i havent done a android in yrs.
tried looking for odin and download mode but im unsure if htc has them?
p.s just tried a factory wipe and still the same. hanging at the htc screen.
and advice would be great as i REALLY dont wanna tell the wife i need another 50 qwid for a new phone. she wont be chuffed.
cheers.
UPDATE-- managed to install-rmk-pyramid-stock_ics_3.32.401.3-v1 all working,well apart from no bloody wifi!!. known fault?
so now i think i will have to gain s-off and then move on,,, ??
UPDATE-- managed to gain s-off and that seemed to fix the no wifi? ha,,,, but i had to re unlock the bootloader, also got supser cid
