Hi Guys,
I dropped my desire S today( I know I got clumsy hands , the glass looks fine and the touch is also working fine as usual, but the LCD image seems to be damaged partially in right side from top to bottom...several lines appear and the display is in black and white(negative image)... :'(
My Question is Can I send this back to HTC?, FYI it is rooted and S-offed, How much will they charge? Will the root affect the repair, if not is there a way I can S-ON it back. Please advise or guide me.
Thanks,
Worried Sick.
P.S. If this is not the right forum, please let me know
there a lot of guides for returning your device to S-ON. You can also flash an appropriate RUU which i believe returns your device to S-ON and stock
also posting in the Q&A probably would've gotten you more help.
I'm sorry I can not solve your problem, but I agree with dan-fish and I'm sure nobody will blame you if you post this in the Q&A section again. You'll get a solution very quick I think

And you thought that reviving an 9 year old thread about an entirely different device was the place to ask? Nope.
All the rooting info you need is available in the Desire HD section. Closed.
Gotta hand it to him, he dug deep for this thread....

Okay, so I'm too new to XDA to post in the developers thread, so I'm asking here: I have been flashing LC'a CM9 builds for the Desire HD on my Inspire 4g and am very excited about it.everything works enough for me to make it a daily driver. However, I'm getting three soft keys on the screen, under the dock. I'm assuming these are the keys for a real DHD, where we have hard keys already. Was wondering if a: anyone else is getting them, and b: if/how they can be turned off.
Note: I didn't search the development thread, because I've read dang near every post, even the off-topic ones and didn't see any mention of the problem. But since that is a Desire HD forum, the issue may not be known.

The Inspire is a real DHD. They are 99.9% the same phone. Radio and extra mic are the only differences. So what you see is what everyone would see. Maybe you should have asked this on the Desire HD forum since that is where the ROM is located. What ROM are you talking about? His ICS build? I don't even see one titled what you said it was. Also you should tell us what the buttons look like so someone may give you an answer.
I believe he talking about the on-screen soft keys(Ala galaxy nexus). You can turn those off its one of.the display settings.
Marsdta, thank you for the helpful response. That is indeed where I found it. I was expecting it to be a Trebuchet setting, for whatever reason. Seemed the more intuitive place.
Agoattamer, I cannot help what you can or cannot see. You post was 100% UNhelpful. If you don't know the answer, don't respond. The ICS thread IS there, in the DHD dev forum.

Then go there and ask the question in the correct forum. And learn to give real info in the future. Help us help you.

[smacks self on forehead] Now, why didn't I think of that? I did post in the DHD forum...if you search, you'll find it, just like you'll find the thread in the DHD Dev thread about the CM9 beta being worked on.
And, just like here in this forum, one person was able to figure out what I was asking and provide helpful information.
Just 'cuz I'm new here, doesn't mean I'm a noob (or anyone else is, either).

Love how you changed the title of the thread to use the correct info from the ROM in it. Should have changed this line too:

At least you know now that the Inspire is a real DHD. I never once said NOOB, you did. But I am so happy that I could be 100% unhelpful to you.

Hi guys.. I have visited the site many many times and usually found all the answers I need. However, I only recently took the plunge and rooted my Desire S. And surprise surprise I think I've done it wrong! I'm stuck at the HTC logo and it never gets any further
The steps I have taken are:
-Unlocked with HTCdev
-Rooted with SuperOneClick (it was all good at this point. Used fine for a couple of days)
-Installed CWM recovery.
-Flashed VanillaIce ROM
And that's as far as I have gotten. The VanillaIce went through the installation process very smoothly, I selected the option 'reboot' and since then, it won't boot past the HTC logo. But I CAN get to the bootloader screen, and recovery mode.
I am on hboot 2.00.0002

I know, I'm a noob here, and please believe me when I say I have searched but I can't find an answer to this specific situation and I need your expert help!

You haven't searched. You haven't even thought about searching. If you had searched then you would have found out about HTCDev and boot.img - now go and search

with just 3 words from your title 'stuck, htc, logo' i was able to searched it out

If you bothered reading then you wouldn't need a fix for this "specific situation". HTCDev is the problem. Boot.img is the answer, as I have already posted.
Now look for those and when you realise what it is you can come back and use the thanks button for me and Rain.
If you can't find the answer yourself given the hints we've given you then put your phone in the bin and use a Nokia 3310 instead.
Oh ok, I will need to do this at home later as I'm on linux at work.
Thanks for the help, although the rudeness is quite unnecessary.
Trying to find clear explanations for this stuff is rather difficult, I know the info is out there but it's all scattered about, with threads linking all over the place.
Pls dun misunderstand us. We are not trying to be rude to shuu u away, people have be known to brick their device by not reading thoroughly. They bump into an issue in one thread and tried another solution in another, and in a state of nervousness they blindly and rushly do unnecessary stuff, such as pulling their battery and frying the emmc chip.
Also the solution u are looking for a in the 2nd and 3rd of the search result apart from ur post which is the 1st. And the answer is in the 2nd or 3rd reply.
Why do ppl stressed on reading 1st, because it is ur phone, ur responsiblity, and if it bricks, it is all on u. And to be responsible is to read.
And ur question is not the 1st in the past month, I think there are like 10 different people asking in 10 different thread with 10 different people answering the same 1 thing over and over and over again.
With this in mind, aren't u a bit ignorant in refusing to read the searches u made?
So when people asked u to search by giving u key words, it simply means the answers are there. :thumbup:

Maybe you should read about what XDA was actually created for? It is a Developers site, not a noobs site. I have no problem helping people - if you look you will see that I can actually be extremely helpful when the situation requires it - but when someone comes on here claiming to have searched or not bothering to put in the basic reading then I will ALWAYS point them to do that first.
Just spoon-feeding the answers helps nobody - firstly because the same questions always get asked and secondly because if the person then makes a mistake they haven't got a clue how to recover.
Bear in mind that when I bought my DS and S-Offed it, the only way to do it was with a hardware rig called an XTC-Clip. If you made a mistake with that method your phone was toast - so you can imagine how many hours I spent reading to understand EXACTLY what I was doing.

I do not intend to be rude but when you answer the same question for about hundreds of times and the fact that the search function lists all your hundreds of answers it gets really annoying by two reasons:
1) it feels like you have wasted a lot of time that no one appreciates
2) over time the Desire S section of XDA became quite a good knowledge base but the newcomers do not care to use it and find more easy to flood with new "already answered" pointless threads
Sent from my HTC Desire S
Why not just leave the stupid questions unanswered then, instead of spilling negative words every single time? You are the one who chooses to answer. I don't say I disagree. I also think that people should search better, but I don't get why you put all your energy in those negative reactions. Besides don't blame the noobs for being on xda. Of xda is not meant for everyone, don't make it accessible for everyone....

No one was pissing of at anyone, If i would call my younger sister to read it out loud it wouldn't sound anything like how u imagine, some might even call it cute, but if i were to call my grumpy old grandad to read then i would say some one is piss off.
Matter of perception.
I know some of you are new (noobs) and when something goes wrong it causes a panic. But the first rule of getting help is information. Things like device name "AT&T HTC One XL" or "Evita", Hboot, S-On or S-Off are needed for senior members so that they can help you. I know a lot of people use this as a signature line but when asking for help, please include this in the topic as well. Also please provide details of what you were doing or trying to do at the time, where you stopped in the process etc. and what the end result is: Bootloop etc. It will make the process a lot easier. Remember, always try to be polite and if someone does post helpful information and be kind enough to hit the thanks button. It may not mean very much but to the people who are taking the time to help you it is a show of gratitude.
Thanks,

I've also put my info out here to try to help people. I've answered PMs, answered gtalk messages in the middle of the night and even gave my personal number for anyone to ask any question they have :thumbup: I don't like to see people brick unless its a prodigy like beaups or 18th abn

I do my best, but it gets hard to muster up motivation to answer the same question for the 100th time, especially when there are multiple threads on the subject on the first page of Q&A.
I have sat back and watched you guys on here help people day after day and whether you know it or not, You all have helped me gather tons of information just by reading. Thank all of you who take the time to help the noobs like me.
I have rooted, s-offed, removed red text and flashed ruu just by following you guys around. I for one want to say: thank you!

I don't really go out of my way to help people, but I do as much as I can from my phone. What it really comes down to is that I'm bored all day and my phone is usually already in my hand so...

As the title says, the phone gets stuck at a screen with HTC in the middle and 4 exclamation marks in each corner. I read on many forums that this might be a hardware problem (radio brick or something like that). This happened after a factory reset. Any ideas? Can this be fixed by flashing an RUU? In other words, is this a software problem?
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. The best place to get help on that device is here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-desire-hd It's always a good idea to read through the device's specific forum before purchasing a phone. That will allow you to see how it has performed for other users and get a sense for any issues with it. Also, it's a good place to find out if it's rootable and how to return it to stock. These are two things I always look for when considering a new phone.
