Hi all,
I have a rooted HTC Desire S and wanted to apply a HTC System Update. I thought that it would unroot the phone but not cause any problems. However, now the System Update seems to be stuck with a blue android and exclamation mark on screen.
I wonder what to do now.
Is it safe to restart the phone by removing the battery or otherwise?
Thank you so much for your help.

I just picked up a used xoom that had 3.0.1 on it...
when I checked for updates, it found 3.1 HMJ37.... It downloaded and verified it. then I clicked on restart and install.
It proceeded to restart the Xoom, powered back on to the green android guy with the triangle inside.... then after a few minutes it restarts again...
but it still has 3.0.1 on it....
Ive done this 3 times so far.....
Any ideas what the issue could be?
thanx for your help
Danny
could it be failing the update because its not running stock 3.0.1?
how could I tell if its stock or has already been rooted (I know on phones you have a superuser app, but dont know to much about rooting tablets)

Im not sure how to tell... there doesnt appear to be any superuser on it...
any when I loaded setcpu, is was not able to gain access....
any other way to tell is its not completely stock?
So I decided to try a few more things..
I powered it on while holding the volume down key...
It got to the red cirlce with an M in it and says in the top left-
"starting fastboot protocol support"
I assume this means that I dont have a completely stock device???
unfortunately it is stuck there.... its not doing anything else....
any ideas?
-update
(apparently holding down the volume up key and pressing the power button got it to restart)
Can anyone explain what the fast boot is and how to go back to stock?
update 2-
holding the volume up and powering it on gives me this message
"starting RSD protocol support 3"
and then just hangs as well
thanx for your help
danny
One more thing I noticed, When it restarts to perform the upgrade, it shows the below message when the Green Droid comes on
'Entering System Recovery'
thanx again
do a reset on it so you know your working with a clean slate download something like adfree to see if it is rooted from previous owner if it is

Turn the phone off, hold the volume "down" down and press the power button. This should take you to the Hboot screen. Use the volume keys to select recovery. Press the power button to make the selection to go into recovery. This SHOULD take you into clockworkmod recovery. If all of that works, you can go into the forum for your phone and put a zip for a ROM on your SD card. Then, using recovery, follow the instructions to install the ROM.

Happy to help. Glad you got it working.
Hello. I tried using the search button, but couldnt find anything. Sorry if I didnt look far enough into this before posting.
I have an Inspire 4g, and 2 days ago I rooted it, so that I may instal the sound mod. Im still running the stock rom. Well tonight, I tried to do a factory update, and now my phone is frozen. On the screen is a white triangle, with a yellow exclamation point in the middle and the droid robot below it. How do I fix this? Im trying to not freak out, as this is my first "smart phone".
Please help!
Thanks Chris
What do you exactly mean with "factory update". Do you mean OTA update or did you flash RUU?
Phone is just propably in recovery mode. If it has been there for long time, pull battery out and reinsert it and try to boot.

If I recall correctly when your rooted you are NOT suppose to OTA update from carrier. You suppose to wait for the rooted version from XDA Devs and flash it.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium
Yeah, you're never supposed to update OTA from AT&T if you're rooted. Unfortunately you learned this the hard way . I'm not 100% sure of the fix, but the go to move always is try to get into HBOOT. Do this by turning of the phone and then press the vol. down rocker button and the power button at the same time. If you can get into HBOOT then you'll be able to get into recovery to flash a new ROM or restore a back-up.

Chris, do as Bacon told you...try booting into hboot (Power + volume down) and check if you are still S-OFF (on the left corner you will see ACE PVT S-OFF or S-ON) if you are still S-OFF then you will have to try to flash a recovery image...
Chris,
I had the same issue when I first rooted. The process discussed above should fix it if you have a rom to flash on your sdcard, if you don't have a flashable rom, or can't access your sdcard through usb storage in your phone, pull your sdcard and put it into a reader to load a rom, then flash the rom using the instructions found in any number of threads about flashing custom roms. I am using IceColdSandwich v 4.2 and like it very much. Good luck.

First question, few people have experienced that too. Im not sure if they found out the solution for it yet
2nd, That's normal, it only means that you have the stock recovery, don't worry.

I also noticed the same behavior after I got the ICS FOTA upgrade the other day. Each time I reboot the phone, I see an "Android is upgrading..." screen. Though, I'm not 100% sure this is a bug, or even an issue. For all we know, this could be an ICS feature. Remember how long it usually took for the Sensation XE to reboot? I think that's what's happening underneath (i.e., Android is optimizing under the hood). It's just that before ICS, we only see the Beats Audio logo and we have no idea what's going on below.
Regarding your issue with recovery. With your phone completely switched off, hold down both the Volume Down and Power buttons. You'll arrive at the HBOOT screen. From there, select "RECOVERY". You'll arrive at the screen with a red exclamation mark. To continue to the recovery menu, press both the Volume Up and Power buttons simultaneously. Let me know if this worked for you because this is usually the manner I access recovery (both under Gingerbread, and now on ICS).

guys i faced this issue as well.. just wanna confirm u guys did updated twice right? 1st update is ICS 4.0.3 & 2nd update is small fix setting (bluetooth, wi-fi & etc)
the android updating is delaying the boot up time.. does recovery or hard reset manage 2 fix this particular issue?? thanks~
Hi guys,
I recently did a software updated on my HTC One X. After a while, it rebooted and went to that screen with the green arrows. A little while after that, the red triangle with the exclamation point appeared. From then on I couldn't go in to my home screen. The phone is on but it's just a dark screen. Any ideas? A brick phone? If so, how? Software related issue? I was able to go to the recovery screen and did a factory reset and even that didn't do anything.
I don't have my phone rooted or whatsoever.
It's stock.
Do you guys have any suggestions? I am getting frustrated and about to just burn this crap.
Thank you so much.
don't know what could've caused that.
I assume you're bootloader is still locked since youre not rooted.
can you boot into hboot? (turn off the phone by holding power until the buttons at the bottoms stop flashing, then while holding the volume down button, turn on the phone)
Have you tried to run ruu either? they have several in the dev section just download the version you were on before you updated.
That's the stock recovery. Might be something wrong with the ROM. I'd get the RUU and run it. If you're talking about the latest AT&T 2.20 update, this is the RUU you want: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1814217
RUU it. It just screwed up the update and lost some system files so it booted into recovery. RUU will fix it (2.20 btw)

I agree with this assessment. Also, apparently RUU is now a verb.
Don't boo it, ruu it.
