[SOLVED] Plz help: my phone can't boot now - HTC Desire S

Dear all, I need your help ASAP.
My phone (rooted) doesn't boot now, adb does not recognizes, fastboot still ok. And I don't know what to do.
Recently I rooted my Desire S and succeeded with the stock ROM. After a coupe of days I dicided to flash Endymion, from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1310845
I downloaded Endymion 3.1 into SD, then used Rom Manager to flash it. But then it was not be able to reboot (stucked on splash screen).
After that I rebooted into recovery (4EXT) and formated system, data, cache, boot and retried to install Endymion 3.1.
But then it became worse, now I can't use adb (always says: device not found), normal boots always stucks at splash screen (with green "HTC"). No hard button can be used, I need to reboot by take off the battery, then put it back on.
fastboot still seems working fine if I reboot to fastboot mode, but when I try "fastboot erase ...", I get "remote: not allowed". But other commands (fastboot flash...) still ok.
4EXT recovery is also still working.
Please help me to install some ROM at least. A lot of thanks.

Not quite sure, but could it be a faulty eMMC chip? Since you did mention you pulled out the battery.

I did have a similar problem before myself.

So can you get into the boot loader? I'm assuming so since u got into fast boot. I would try flashing an update.zip through there, such as a stock from containing recovery.img,system.img...etc.

Thank you for replies.
@microlah: I think my problem is not eMMC because I did not get those errors.
@stumpyz9: Before trying to flash Endymion 3.1, I made a backup of the rooted Sense 3.0 through Rom Manager -> a collection of *.img files.
I have tried to boot into fastboot, and executed these commands:
fastboot erase boot -> Error: remote not allowed
fastboot erase recovery -> Error: remote not allowed
fastboot flash system system.img -> OK
fastboot flash boot boot.img -> OK
fastboot flash userdata data.img -> OK
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img -> OK
but after this, the phone still does not boot normally.
Please tell me if I did something wrong or not. I dont know how to make update.zip from *.img files, and dont know where to get and choose the right stock rom for my phone.

Are you S-OFF or htcdev unlocked ? If you're still S-on you have to manually flash boot.img with fastboot to get Endymion or others custom roms working.

No font flash the backup .imgs flash a whole update zip through the boot loader. Use a stock rom that contains a bunch of .imgs. reflashing the ones u already have won't help

Are you on hboot 2.00.002? If yes, did you flash the boot.img from Endymion via fastboot??
Sent from my iPod touch using Tapatalk

I used htcdev to unlock, it's still S-ON and HBOOT 2.00.002.
I did not flash boot.img of Endymion. Can I do that with "fastboot flash..." ?
Does it matter if "fastboot erase boot" makes error? (as I posted above)
Could you give me instructions step-by-step what I need to do, thank you.

hi all,
i have some problem like a d_t_kien (i have htcdev unlock dev. and HBOOT 2.00.002, 4EXT Recovery).... so after flash ROM (i try Reaper V2.0 - CM7mod) device has freeze on white HTC screen....
Please help us... how correctly flash Endymion ROM via fastboost..
Thanks

For both of you, here's the procedure. First, flash the ROM normally. Then, enter fastboot mode and flash the boot.img that came in the ZIP of your ROM.

I need a quick answer guys..

I just helped a buddy (this never happened before) and his mytouch is rooted. He upgraded his SPL to Haykuro's and then, through fastboot, he flashed Amon_Ra's 1.2.2 recovery image. Now, we can't get it past the mytouch screen, but can get into fastboot. Any ideas?
Try flashing another rom?
If you can get into fastboot, you can send a new image to the phone.
I don't recall the exact commands, but if you're in fastboot, you're still good.

Fastboot the recovery image, and then from the recovery, you can flash the new rom.

the recovery image is there. We cant into to recovery to apply the rom.
Get yourself the proper recovery.img for that phone. Not sure what it is, but a quick search will find it. Search for 'mytouch recovery' or 'mt3g recovery'.
Then with the recovery image in your SDK tools folder, run:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
That should at least get you to a point where you can flash a new ROM and commit the proper recovery image to flash using adb commands.
I can't hold your hand through the whole thing, I don't have that phone, but I've been in your situation before.
Ok we tried it, now it says... FAILED(remote: partition does not exist!)
anyone have an idea?
Try to erase Cache
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase recovery
then flash recovery:
fastboot flash recovery recoveryxxxxxx***.img (***I'm not sure of the version you use...)

Yeah that's exactl what we did and it worked.
The thing is, we erased the recovvery image and reinstalled it, but now again, it won't go into recovery. I have a feeling he downloaded the wrong Amos_Ra recovery. Probably one for the 32a.

"Fastboot flash boot boot.img" make sure u type boot twice.
Do factory reset/wipe data and wipe cache. Flash rom. Reboot into bootloader. Fastboot flash boot boot.img. reboot phone. Then reboot back into recovery to flash gapps. Should work "
so did you already flash the (right) boot.img via fastboot?

If you haven't, extract the boot.img file from the .zip and place it where you have adb/fastboot (Android SDK). Then boot into bootloader, go into Fastboot, plug phone in for "Fastboot USB" then type the following in command prompt and reboot.
fastboot flash boot boot.img

ive tried all that boot.img from zip even another one with the download no luck just stuck on boot with that cm9 rom on loop thanks for your help though guys any other suggestions other then just shooting myself in the head??lol
Try flashing Paranoid/AOKP and then flashing back to CM9.
flash older cm9 rom?
this is my first attempt of any ROM for this phone starting with cm9 alpha 13 does anyone recomend maybe installing a older alpha?? maybe alpha 10 cm9?? idk
Try flashing the latest alpha 14. Maybe you got a bad download of alpha 13.
did you solve your problem?
if not & you're not quite shure about flashing the boot.img properly with fastboot I set up a Tutorial yesterday:
[Tutorial] How to flash a new boot.img via Fastboot
perhaps this might help you if the above one didn't fix your problems:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667929
I had the same problem. But this worked for me.
wipe all -> flash cm9 14 -> wipe all -> flash gapps -> wipe all -> fastboot flash boot boot.img ( i used the touchfix one ).
then i got in.. but took some time first load. But now i cant get wifi to work and cant see simcontacts. Drives me nuts.
Just reflashed all with no luck.

and I thought I had a titanium backup but my whole sd card go deleted, so I mounted my sd card and got the rom again and flashed it and at that point I couldn't go back to recovery
Did you read the OP for cm10.1? It states in the requirements that you must RUU up to the latest (3.18) to run that ROM. In terms of your recovery, just flash it again from fastboot.

I must of completely overseen that. and sir the only option I have on my boot is fast boot, recovery, factory reset, clear storage, simlock, image crc, and power down. I don't know how to even flash things at this point.
and only options I fast boot are bootloader, reboot, reboot boot loader and powerdown
That's all you need to RUU, it's an exe file that you just run while your phone is connected in fastboot mode. You'll need top flash your recovery again, then you can flash a ROM.
Download the RUU
Run the RUU
Download recovery
Flash recovery
Flash ROM
The fastboot command to flash the recovery is:
fastboot flash recovery "recovery.img"
(The exact recovery filename, without the talking marks)
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now you can enter recovery on your phone, mount usb storage, copy ROM to phone, flash ROM.

[Q]Htc sensation Z710e help with corrupted recovery

Hello everyone,
I am a new htc sensation user and I recently rooted it using the traditional method and have been installing roms since then.
However, recently when I was installing CarbonRom Kitkat 4.4.3, the ClockWork Mod recovery told me that I cannot flash the rom ( I don't know for what reason). I thought it was something to do with my recovery. So I decided to flash 4EXT touch recovery but as I have S-on, even after giving the command through fastboot for erasing recovery and all the partitions "fastboot -w" , the command prompt gave me this error " remote access not allowed". So I thought of going on with the flashing and flashed the 4EXT recovery image through fastboot. But when I tried to boot into recovery , the phone was just stuck on the htc white screen.
As I did not erase the recovery and flashed a new recovery, i think that I have overlapped the two recoveries and have corrupted them. Now, my phone boots only into the bootloader and I also have s-on. Can anyone please tell me how to install the stock rom (as I would like to revert back to the original rom) through bootloader and fastboot? i heard about the PG58IMG method but will it work on s-on? Please help me out.
Hi, im guessing u already have recovery.img in ur fastboot folder so try this command from fastboot
fastboot boot recovery.img
Hopefully that will get u there so u can flash a rom but u will have to download 4ext recovery updater app once phone is booted to flash recovery coz doing above command only boots recovery, doesnt flash it. It works on desire s and desire so it should work for sensation too (hopefully)

So this means that I should first flash the recovery and then boot it using the command
fastboot boot recovery.img
?? or should I just boot it up using the command . And is there anyway to give any master commands like erase a partition while on s-on? And which recovery do u prefer CWM or 4EXT?

That is actually where the problem started from. i tried to install 4ext before erasing CWM and I think that caused the problem.
Do you think that recoveries can be overlapped or am i just being pointless? And can you tell me about any master commands like erasing a parition that will work with s-on?

you can overwrite 4ext in top of cwm
i used to have cwm but i changed it with 4ext using only the command

i didn't use any command for erasing partitions

Accidentally delete everything using TWRP in "wipe"

Hey,
first of all i KNOW there is a subject with nearly the exact same topic, and i followed the directions but somethng doesn't work.
I still have TWRP on the phone, and when im in bootloader mode and run "fastboot devices" i see the result.
but i can't seem to ADB push or anything else (maybe im missing some commands?)
so i used the NRT root kit and i use the "fastboot flash" function and install the .img file - the software says my device is identified and it installs the system.img file (found on the "image-hammerhead-mra58k" zip), but then the device boots to TWRP and still can't boot to the system itself.
help please!
Sideload a factory rom and u will be fine. U can do it in the advanced portion of TWRP, but u need a pc, or ur hit
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
Sounds to me like you're using adb commands in fastboot.
Boot into bootloader (not recovery)
Type fastboot devices
It should return showing your device
Then you need to make sure you have stock img's downloaded and completely extracted so you have all the img files in the folder you're running fastboot from (rename the radio to simply radio.img)
Then type
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash radio radio.img
Then boot back into recovery and wipe cache and dvalik for just in case fun
Then reboot system and wait
