[Q] [HELP] finding for HELP! my DS has been bricked, very hard and hard [HELP] - HTC Desire S

I tried flashing a new rom for my DS
on this forum:
update-saga-runnymede-s-v5.zip
unluckily
my phone just can turn on once, then it lagged for a long time.
i took out the battery and insert again. turn on again.
badly it lagged again. i repeated
then the third time it stucked at HTC white screen for about an hour
then i tried many times but failed
i try to updated the recovery
'updating recovery' <- this screen has been showing for mayb few hours ( i fell asleep while waiting, when i woke up it's out of battery. then i reboot again but in bootloader NO 'RECOVERY' option!
now my phone has this option but when i choose it it disappears!
so i couldn't flash new recovery through phone
HELP HELP I AM REALLY GETTING CRAZY OF THIS!
can anyone help?

Ok. It seems that your recovery is gone by some reason.
Since you are using adb, I suppose that you have fastboot command also.
Download this file, rename it to recovery.img. Reboot your phone to bootloader (vol down + power), connect it to PC. It should be "FASTBOOT USB" written on the screen. Then open command prompt and type:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery {path to the file}\recovery.img
It should take less than a second to flash it (if longer than you may have troubles with the eMMC chip). If ok reboot to recovery and flash a custom ROM.
If not OK, connect to PC again as described above and type:
Code:
fastboot getvar all
and post the output here.

firstly i haven't tried
Code:
fastboot getvar all
yet since i am still waiting for <waiting for device>
so mayb it has failed.
what should i do to end this and try another method?
close adb directly ?

here is the details when i try fastboot getover all
environmental variables:
ADB_TRACE - Print debug information. A comma separated list
of the following values
1 or all, adb, sockets, packets, rwx, usb, sync
, sysdeps, transport, jdwp
ANDROID_SERIAL - The serial number to connect to. -s takes prior
ity over this if given.
ANDROID_LOG_TAGS - When used with the logcat option, only these de
bug tags are printed.

not getover, but getvar
copy the command from my post and paste it to your command prompt to avoid mistakes
EDIT: have you managed to flash the recovery?? the text in the brackets {} has to be replaced with the path to your file - e.g. C:\android
then the command will look like this:
fastboot flash recovery C:\android\recovery.img

sorry for that i missed the word

the text in the brackets {} has to be replaced with the path to your file - e.g. C:\android
then the command will look like this:

oh now when i type
Code:
fastboot flash recovery C:\Users\Chris\Downloads\recovery.img
it shows:
Code:
sending 'recovery' <6000 kb>
OKAY [0.995s]
writing recovery...
then no continue action
staying here
what should i do the next?

Your next step is to go to the [GUIDE] Read this before going for eMMC replacement in my signature and follow point 4.1
Use this RUU
You will lose S-OFF and root, but eventually your phone will work again

how about my flash recovery still not yet complete...?
btw i am still trying to understand that post step 4.1
but i wanna know is it ok that recovery not yet finished?

4.1 If you have a 6.98.xxxx hboot
You probably already have the adb properly configured on your PC
Change your hboot with this one There are 3 ways:
i should download "this one" right? there are <Eng S-Off.rar> and <PG88IMG.zip> inside.
1) use the one click - it will flash it for you
what means by the 'one click"?
2) put PG88IMG.zip on your SDcard and rebot to bootloader. It will flash automatically. After flashing delete PG88IMG.zip from the SDcard
i can't see my sd card on PC, should i pull out the sd card to another phone and put in the files required then insert back to my phone ?
3) extract the image from PG88IMG.zip, rename it to hboot.img, connect the device to PC, reboot it to bootloader (it should be written "FASTBOOT USB" on the phone, open a command prompt on the PC and type:

sorry...
when i am installing ruu
error occurs: usb connection may lost
so wht can i do><
totally lost now

sorry... now i found i haven't flash hboot.img completely
as it showed: image update is bypassed!
so what should i do?

The Revolutionary HBOOT 6.98.1002 will not allow you to overwrite it. You can only overwrite it using a special version from Revolutionary/AlphaRevX for removing S-OFF and returning to S-ON. Search for Revolutionary return to S-ON.

sorry i am quite new in android
can u tell me how to find revolutionary?
i even dunno what type of file i should search
or can you give me the download link? please

unable to complete RUU and resotr to its original state

hi guys...
This was my previous thread..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1463743
Now downloaded the RUU..
RUU_Saga_hTC_Asia_India_1.47.720.1_Radio_20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199605_signed_4..
hwen i run the RUU boot loader says security error but RUU says error 155.. here are the shots...
now please guide me to restore it to orignal state? i have SDK tools and Fastboot...
please help me
Try to reboot phone to fastboot mode and then run RUU. That should fix it.
i tried in fastboot mode but still error 155 occurs....i dun knw why im not able to restore the origial backed up image also..here are the contents of my backed up image....
After installing WP7 of MIUI based on..im not able to restore backed up one...but i can restore CM7.1.............
Please guide me .....
When i was going to return to stock rom, I first tried to flash a 1.47-RUU without success. I am not sure why, but the 2.10-RUU worked for me (but that is no choice for you, as I don't see for Asia it in the List of Shiped ROM Collection).
I have been coming from a 6.xxx HBOOT called engHBOOToverARX.img, you will find a link somewhere in the discontinued Tutorial here. If your phone was unbranded, you will find the original tutorial in the quotes. Basically I flashed this engHBOOT in fastboot (resulting in 6.xxx-HBOOT), than I run the RUU.
Thanks for the suggestion...
i ll try with 2.10-RUU AND LET U KNOW..
im my phone platfor info it says my product is HTC_SAGA and my brand is HTC_EUROPE what does this means?
Means shipped indian ruu RUU_Saga_hTC_Asia_India_1.47.720.1_Radio_20.28I.30 .085AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199605_signed_4 doent work for me?
this is what i have got after i do "fastboot flash zip rom.zip which was extracted from the above said RUU i.e RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.8_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_225161_signed...
Now what?
please guide me
Which bootloader version are you currently stuck with? Are you able to access recovery etc?
fastboot getvar all - paste the results from that command here.
fastboot rebootRUU - try running the RUU again when you're in this mode.
I have a workaround, but it's not very good so i didn't post before, but you seem pretty desperate. Flash a pre-rooted stock rom via recovery(there's a thread in development section). Then, run gingerbreak to unroot. Try to find a rom from your region. If not, use the latest one. You won't get any updates.

hboot 2.00.002......YES IM ABLE TO ACCESS CWM RECOVERY AT ANY TIME AND RESTORE ONLY CUSTOM ROM BUT NOT ORIGNAL BACK UP DONE FOR THE FIRST TIME AFTER UNLOCK.....

ok i ll do what u said and give u feedback
my phone platfor info it says my product is HTC_SAGA and my brand is HTC_EUROPE what does this means?
You flashed a european rom, no problem. You want to sell it? Say you bought it from spain xD

As long as you have access to the boot loader and/or fastboot, you're not bricked. You can technically flash Universal firmware and a recovery to get around this but you might want to flash an RUU as it'll boot you into a ROM and give you a working setup to play with.
Since you're S-OFF download and flash an RUU via fastboot, upgrade or downgrade; it makes very little difference as it will put you in a position to flash a recovery and or universal firmware.
A note on RIL/Basebands, 3.32 and 3.33 have no adverse effects of using a non matching RIL baseband so long as your WiFi and mobile network works, you should be good.
P.S: remove your SN & IMEI from your post

I skimmed over your other thread, and you probably should have tried a kernel with BCM drivers if you haven't already.
Try with a different (and known to work) USB.
Also, make sure HTC Sync is closed and that you run the RUU as administrator.

You're S-OFF, however your bootloader is locked. Meaning commands are locked, S-OFF disables security allowing you to flash things without being signed by HTC.

That's odd. Insert your SDCard after formatting it and placing the PG58IMG.zip on it. Then reboot into bootloader. See if it works, and let me know.

Fail-PU errors generally correspond to firmware corruption
Which is pretty hard to solve
If Op can exactly tell flashing what caused this issue
Maybe we can have a chance
Btw can the phone go to recovery?
Also how did the patched hboot flash went?

[Q] bad CID - stuck in bootloader

In my quest to upgrade the hboot of my HTC One XL (evita), I accidentally used a tool intended for the the HTC One X (JFW Tool), and overwrote my CID to HTC__621. Now I'm stuck in the bootloader. Any help would be much appreciated (especially with the steps, I'm still a bit fuzzy on SuperCID, S-Off, bootloaders, roms and recovery). I think I was previously unlocked, running an unofficial CyanogenMod (because updates stopped coming around), and then I wanted to get on the OTA CM train, but needed to update hboot, which got me in my current situation:
Here's what my bootloader screen says:
Code:
*** TAMPERED ***
*** RELOCKED ***
EVITA PVT SHIP S-ON RL

And here's what I've tried:
tried setting CID to 11111111
tried flashing recovery (my TWRP recovery is not present anymore)
tried flashing hboot
tried running X-Factor exploits
ran the all-in-one tool to try and exploit and unlock
I cannot seem to get anything to work. Flashing anything generates a remote signature fail id error.
Please help me to get my phone back up again!
Thanks,
Dave
You tried all those things without knowing what you're doing? You must love to live life dangerously!
Your bootloader is locked.
In bootloader, use volume down to scroll to reboot and hit power button to select it. Then read forums on how to unlock bootloader.

Perfect, that's what I needed (I didn't know bootloaders could become "relocked".
So, I'm now back to where I was before, with a phone I cannot update to the latest CM10, because my hboot is too old (=1.09)
I've tried to follow all the instructions on these forums for updating hboot to 2.14, without any success:
Using Hassoon2000's all-in-one kit for the HTC One X (evita) and also from the command line, I've tried to directly install:
hboot 2.14
OTA_EVITA_UL_JB_45_S_Cingular_US_3.18.502.6_0.24p.32.09.06_10.130.32.34_release_3061616bcty3drvawwo01k (which contains 2.14)
It fails on signature or hangs. I tried this with bootloader locked and unlocked (thanks to Venomtester, I can now do this without difficulty), and from the bootloader, fastboot and htc screens (gold htc logo).
So any hints on how to get hboot 2.14 installed on this device? Failing that, (or perhaps instead of) I could even go back to a factory ROM and settings, if I could get some hints on this.
Thanks again,
Dave
PS: I have a feeling it may be malfunctioning due to that CID change I did. I tried to change CID back using the regular tool, and then used the instructions for hex editing the CID, all without success (adb shell doesn't work)

Okie dokie, so, your bootloader is unlocked at this point right?
If so, flash twrp 2.6: fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img
Your CID shouldn't matter for right now, you should at least be able to flash a Rom at this point (obv. not cm10.1 3.4 kernel). Then we can work on SuperCID and S-OFF.

2.6 TWRP installed and working. Still running (extremely poorly, all kinds of flakiness: loses cellular data connection constantly) the 10.1 CM I was running before I embarked upon this upgrade.
What should I do next?
Cheers,

If I'm not wrong, you're gonna need to s-off to get to the newest cm nightlies because of RUU. So first you're gonna need SuperCID. Someone correct me of I'm wrong but I'm gonna say you need to
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
and then head over to the S-Off thread. I wouldn't do this just yet, because I'm not 100% sure, but if someone could confirm that'd be wonderful.

That command may or may not work.
The good news is, if it doesn't, since you have root and aren't on a 2.14 hboot it's still super easy
If that command doesn't work, boot to the rom you're using, make sure usb debugging is enabled. If you're using CyanogenMod, you'll also have to give ADB root access in developer settings.
Open command prompt in the folder you have ADB and do
adb shell
su
echo -ne "11111111" | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 bs=1 seek=20
then you should have superCID and should be able to S-OFF using the sticky in original android dev. section
when you type the su command, it may prompt you on your phone to allow su through adb so keep that in mind.

So I'm not sure what to do next. Flashing RUU doesn't seem to work. bootloader says I'm still S-OFF (whatever that means), now "RELOCKED", CID still 11111111, and hboot still 1.09.
Thanks again for taking me through this,
Dave
All you need to do is run the RUU as was intended. It's an exe file. Plug in your phone and start the program.
Use RUU not OTA, it is easier.
OTA would require stock recovery to complete and much more care with how stock things are.

Thanks everyone! I'm back on the CM10.1 bandwagon (with OTA updates!) and this HTC One X is working better than ever.
For other folks, here were my mistakes and stumbling blocks:
Don't use utilities intended for the HTC One X (Tegra 3) on the HTC One XL (evita). This is how I accidentally changed my CID. This might seem obvious, but when you're checking around these forums, you can frequently end up in the wrong forum.
ADB commands work when the phone is in its OS.
If the setcid command line doesn't work, use the line from exad.
Don't try and use the RUU flashing procedure (with the OTA .zip file) to flash the firmware, use the .exe file, and just execute it.
I did not (and still don't really) understand the difference and utility of RUUs, S-On/S-Off, unlocking the bootloader, hboot, ROMs, SuperCID, radios, ADB and fastboot commands.
Back to using my now very functional HTC One X (it was on the verge of a tragic high-velocity intentional disassembly).
Cheers,
Dave

Can't find a matching RUU
BUT
i recently helped another user with a simiar problem.
In case you unlock the bootloader and get S-OFF you can do as followed:
S-OFF your phone --> get super CID --> flash stock recovery --> change CID to e.g unbranded (HTC__001) --> Flash unbranded RUU

Thanks for reply.
Yes, I've unlocked bootloader.
But my problem is - I have bootloop.
So, I can't load Android on the phone to use adb to S-OFF my phone.
(What I found so far is - you need to have working adb to S-OFF the phone)
Which means I can't change CID to be able to flash any other RUU.
Thanks.

So far I didn't see any errors related to sdcard.
I just want to remind - Android doesn't boot, my PC doesn't see my phone, so, I can't put anything on sdcard.

Flash latest TWRP using fastboot.
Perform a FULL wipe.
Flash rom via ADB Sideload (TWRP supports this feature)
IMPORTANT: Your bootloader vesrion will only support 4.0x versions. May be JB too. But NO 4.3+. So i'd suggest to flash ICS rom.
You will need to flash the kernel (boot.img) manually using fastboot due to your phone is S-ON!
Just to make sure that I understood you correctly:

For example this one - openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.0-ville.img ?
So, after I install it , if I go to fastboot -> recovery I should see, let's call it, TWRP menu. Is it correct?
And ADB Sideload is one of the menu?

NO!
Maximus HD is for S-OFF only!!!
You have to use the boot.img contained in the rom you flash. Otherwise you will have a brick again.
I'm looking for a compatible Rom for you. Just some patience please.

Yes please use TWRP 2.7. ADB sideload is selectable in the TWRP menu.
Connect it to your computer. Open commandline.
Type "adb sideload ROMNAME.zip" and it will flash the rom immediately to your phone.

Don't panic
If fastboot is bugged, relock bootloader and unlock again. Then flashing will be fine.
May you tell me what caused the bootloop originally? Will help to find a solution.

[Solved] HTC Butterfly S-Off, Unlock, Bootloader & TWRP Recovery "Stuck in bootloop."

[Solved] HTC Butterfly S-Off, Unlock, Bootloader & TWRP Recovery "Stuck in bootloop."
PLEASE try to HELP or acknowlede!
Please forgive me for contacting you as such but I'm desparate right now.
Dear All,
I'm wound up in a bootloop. Please help at the earliest.
This is my current status and a little history.
1. I was flashed InsertCoin 3.0.6 on my x920d (originally HTC_038) a couple of days ago (and did a TWRP Backup after That),
2. Had unlocked my previous, old custom rom (thru HTCDev), S-Off (thru rumrunner) and
3. rooted by flashing 'UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02' from recovery after flashing the ROM a couple of days earlier.
4. I had also flashed Kairi's firmware-kk (which is for HTC_061) as I had Super CID 11111111 by "fastboot oem writecid..." method, now I'm not able to do it anymore).
Anyway, there was some problem (wrongly presumed by me) with the htc backup/restore function, so I reflashed the IC3.0.6 rom a couple of times thru recovery(TWRP 2.7 by Kairi). And the device booted perfectly.
Stupidly, I happened to flash '[ROM] FireKatN4 Deodex V5 TW 4.4.4' through Kairi's recovery. Link of the ROM - http://forum.xda-developers.com/note...emely-t2916463.
Thish rom was for Samsung T Mobile Galaxy Note 4 N910T and it did not flashed properly; so I re-flashed IC3.0.6 thru recovery (if required I can perform this again) and it showed successful at the end.
Now since then whenever I reboot it get stuck in bootloop.
Since yesterday I have been trying various steps (repeated several times and not inchronological order):
- Unlocked the bootloader thru HTCDev once again.
- Flashing the firmware-kk thru oemRUU after changing the CID to 11111111 in the 'adroid-info file" of this firmware's zip. (it gave Remote90 error and after repeating fastboot flash zip firmware-kk.zip it flashed.
Although in between it said "signature checking, verified fail - Bypassing" and then continued on its own after that, successful at the end. However on my device the green bar moved only to 90% and remained there.)
- Rebooted into bootloader, tried flashing the same firmware with Error :
"C:\Fastboot>fastboot flash zip firmware-kk.zip
target reported max download size of 1514139648 bytes
sending 'zip' (19401 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.975s]
writing 'zip'...
FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 2.011s"
Now my status is:
Although I'm able to flash recovery img thru fastboot. I can do it from oem rebootRUU.

Now
1. I,m S-Off, Relocked/Unlocked Bootloader (able to do this thru fastboot).
2. Can boot into bootloader & TWRP Recovery - Kairi's, but cannot boot the phone.
3. After flashed IC3.0.6 thru recover once again. when rebooting, get stuck in bootloop again.
Please try to help me out.
P.S. I have somescreenshots available of several steps, if required.

Hi Vikram.
This could be the blind leading the blind. But I will help out as much as I can.
I had the same problem with IC boot looping and especially with my nandroid backups. See if you can download a different rom and get that on your sd card and flash that. You can try BOA Butterfly v8.0 that always booted up for me when IC wouldn't. I also found a stock nandroid x920d backup that worked. At least I had my device working until I had the time to sort out IC on my device.
Now a couple of your queries.
My cid 11111111
HBOOT 1.57
The green progress bar never reaches the end it always stays at about 90% and reboot bootloader command should be like this
"adb reboot-bootloader" without the quotes
Sorry Vikram all over the place tonight I just finished work. Hope this helps. Plus the best information I can give you as well is search this site. everything you need is on here with a little searching. Only been doing this since July and I also tried to flash every rom out there only to discover that they all don't work. Got myself out of a few bootloops.
Try what I mentioned above and see how you go with that.

Thanks A TON Clarkie,
Your reply is very much appreciated. It seems like a ray of hope in a dark tunnel. Really grateful to you.
Now coming back to the matter at hand -
I had earlier tried to
1. Tried to flash 'NOS_m7_v3.0.0_dlxbu1' thru Recovery, was successful but when tried to boot, got stuck again in bootloop. Then again installed InserCoin.
Note - Maybe I did not perfom a wipe cache & definately did not flash the boot image thru fastboot after flashing the above rom.
Secondly I'm neither able to reboot from bootloader mode into recovery nor vice verca.
Thirdly, I cannot flash any zip from bootloader (but able to flash image files thru bootloader & install zip thru recovery); & no "fastboot reboot recovery" from bootloader mode and no "adb reboot bootloader"
from recovery (same with RUU "fastboot reboot bootloader", though in recovery & fastboot mode "adb/fastboot devices" show my device).
Fourthly, whenever I reboot into system/android I get Two bootscreens - 1. HTC Quietly Brilliant & the device gets disconnected and connected again and the second boot screen is HTC One.
Finally it stays at the HTC One screen for some time and suddenly there is some very slight variation in the brightness of the bootscreen, then the capacitive buttons (Back, Home & Recent app) lightens and it
reboots.
2. Tried to restore from TWRP Backup (when I was successfully running InserCoin for the first time) but again the bootloop. I also have one of NOS_m7_v3.0.0 (When I was S-On), that I've not tried yet as I'm afraid to get
back to S-On and bootloop at the same time..
3. Meanwhile, today a couple of hours ago, I came across this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2208833, and
performed an advanced wipe thru recovery (wiping everythingh except external sd card). Wiped Dalvik Cache. TWRP Backup. Rebooted. (For a lovely change) Got stuck at boot screen -HTC Quitely Briliant.
(maybe no OS installed).
4. Manually went into bootloader and then recovery. Installed InsertCoin again. At the end it said no SuperSU. Swiped to install it. Reboot. Got stuck at Bootloop.
Please try to Suggest:
A. When to flash boot.img - before or after installing the rom.
B. Does restoring S-On state backup will effect my S-Off condition.
Thanx In Advance.
1 + 1 = 11
Will Definately try BOA's Rom meanwhile.
HI Clarkie,
Tried the download links at BOA's ROM thread in the forum. Doesen't work.
Can you provide me a link.
Ok Vikram.
From what I have done and read I have always done a factory reset thru recovery before flashing any rom. Also try re flashing TWRP same version. I also got stuck on HTC ONE screen and turned the device of at power button and back on and it booted up fine. I would keep your device at s.off and i flashed the boot img after the rom because the device would not boot. Sorry for the short replies I am not that quick on the keyboard.
Here is the link for boa
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2656094
Spare link 4 is still up.
Just keep going on it. It is a process of thinking what worked before and why it not working now.
Keep me posted

Check your commands you need one of these ---- between adb reboot-bootloader. That is what I was trying to say last night. Not sure if you got it.
Cheers

No worries.
Remember if it gets stuck on htc screen power off with power button and restart. See how you go.
Good Luck

Hi Clarkie,
Tried the following:
Installed TWRP 2.6.3
Factory reset from recovery.
Installed BOA V8.0 thru recovery (Couldn't understand the language of aroma installer, but went ahead both the times).
Device Rebooted into bootloop again.
Powered off with only the power button, but then it again restarted into bootloop.
Flashed the boot.img thru fastboot. Reboot. Again bootloop.
Went to Recovery. Wiped everythingh except Micro SDcard
Installed the rom thru recovery install zip
Aroma Installer Finished Screen -> from recovery reboot options went into fastboot. Flashed the boot.img.
Rebooted to System - Back to square 1 in bootloop.
Also during the bootloop pressing down the power button does not power off & restarts the device. But the screen goes off for a few seconds and automatically boots intp the bootloop.
FYI -
I'm using a partitioned sd card. with 1. FAT32, 2. ext4 & 3. Linux SWAP. And thru recovery file manager it showed sd-ext & superuser folders in the root. I'll give it a try on an unpartitioned card.
had successfully, flashed recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.1-dlxub1 before flashing TWRP 2.6.3. But the CWMod recovery shows the following:
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
I tried adb reboot-bootloader but nothing happens.
Please try to suggest from here.
How can I check (from Bootloader/recovery) if my device is rooted/unrooted.
I mean when the splash screens stays on for more than a few minutes and not in boot loop hit the power button to off then back on. That has worked for me. I am not sure about your partitioned sd card. I just store things on mine.
Have a look at this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283896
I had the same similar errors a while ago but I cant remember how I fixed it. Well I do. I fixed one error at a time and lots of searching.

I have done again the following steps as you said:
1. Started the Device.
2. First Splash screen came up - HTC quietly Briliant.
3. Second Splash Screen came up - HTC One.
4. Waited for one/two seconds and pressed continuosly on the power button.
5. Screen went totally black/maybe powered off.
6. Removed my finger from the Power button in order to press it back to power the device.
7. Before I can press it is back on the first splash screen pops up and the bootloop starts.
8. Even If I do not release the power button after the 5th step it automatically reboots & bootloop starts.
I did try this from the first bootscreen and also after complete power down from bootloader/recovery mode.
Meanwhile I'll search the link you gave.
I think that maybe I'm unrooted now because when i try thru recovery - advance - file manager, I cannot see any file in /system/bin/ (where there should have been a su file there.)
Thanks for your reply . will keep you posted.
Your replies mean a lot to me.
Hi Clarkie,
Re-read all of your posts and guidance.
Motivated by this and the links provided espaicially by you and reply from abhinav.tella I think I'm able to lock on the problem (perhaps).
Right now compiling it and will post with further details.
Kindly try to walk me thru it with your suggestions and guidance.
Thanx in advance.
Bits and Pieces
Hi Clarlie,
Thanks for your time & energy till date. You are kind enough to help out somebody very selflessly on your part. I'm motivated and have inculcated the same.
Anyway, I tried to understand the whole thing piece by piece. Also I have assimilated a few screenshots (I have many others if required.)
The following is only what I did & now think could be the cause.
First of all; I had successfully installed and was running InsertCoin a few days ago. See Step by Sep as per the numbered images attached with this and several within the next few following posts.
1
1. 1. Unlocked, rooted & running InserCoin, (but a Kernel & firmware based on 4.2 custom rom) --- 28-11-14 17-23hrs
1. 2. Achieved S-Off with XUNUS's (http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-butterfly/help/qa-insertcoin-3-0-6-dlxub1-android-4-4-t2950052)help & updated to TWRP 2.7 Kairi's along with reste-kernel-ub1 again Kairi's, 29-11-14 19-32.
1. 3. bootloader after s-off before revone, 29-11-14 23-09.
1. 4. bootloader after removing TAMPERED thru revone, 30-11-14 00-02
