[Q] eMMC Fried? - HTC Desire S

Ok I have searched through all the relevant eMMc fried posts however I have not found a similar post to this with the same cmd return so you help would be appreciated..
After the dmesg grep command this was what the cmd returned...
Code:
C:\android-tools\android-tools>adb shell

Is this a fried chip or some other issue?
I am still getting the usual fried error in the bootloader:
Code:
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log

Thanks for your help.

Your eMMC is fine.
Wipe your /cache from recovery. Use 4EXT

+1 Yup, that would be my advice too... it's just your cache partition that gone tits-up, and i think a format of the cache should solve it. But why not just be double sure and nuke all the bloody partitions and do a clean flash!

Only one of the "all the bloody partitions" can give this error. Guess which one is it...
But nothing against the double sure, full wipe and clean install of new ROM should solve this for sure
I recommend to use 4EXT Recovery to convert all partitions to ext4 filesystem, then format/wipe all of them, then install a new ROM
But if he wants to keep the present ROM, just wiping cache is the solution...

My favorite savior of bricked devices!
Wherever there's a potential brick, i find you there... maybe i'm vain, but it sure does make me feel secure knowing that there is someone like you around at the DS forum!

I have the same problem. I think my cache partition is corrupted. But after many try I can't format it. It take long time to format.
Also I cant flash 4ext or anything else via adb, fastboot or clockworkmod.
Can HTC service center solved this? Or they will just change the whole PCB?
Plz help me.

Don't think its bricked, but I've ran out of ideas !

Hi, I believe I corrupted my cache after writing some files to /system/framework in read/write mode.
As I now get the infamous 'can't open /cache/recovery/log when formatting etc
Phone will longer boot....1
1. don't get any errors using adb and 'dmesg | grep mmc0', I get ..
dmesg | grep mmc0

2. Gone through all the usual process of using clockwork recovery, wiping cache formating etc.
3. My phone was s-off'd using revolutionary, tried running that again, but keeps reffering to a missing /sbin
4. Tried various images renamed as PG88IMG.zip which start to update, but just stay in 'updating' and never move forward. To unlude 4ext recovery image.
5. Tried installing 4ext using 'fastboot flash c:\recovery image', but it just says waiting on device.
running out of idears before I declare it bricked.
I got similar problem while ago, but I could boot with no problems, advanced showed same for me, but then I manage to flash 4ext recovery and I format all partitions to ext4 but when I did cache same errors, I wiped only cache and do it again, all works now no problem, havnt tryed to instal new rom, got some good one.

[Q] Can I just confirm my phone is stuffed?

History:
Desire S rooted using "revolutionary-0.4pre4" but otherwise no changes (rooted many months ago).
Crashed during update of Apps (I pressed update all and it crashed it after a few minutes). Had to pull the battery out to reset. Crashed again after about 2 minutes so I pulled the battery again and now won't load past the HTC loading screen.
I assume something fried as I pulled the battery.
I have tried updating the ROM without success - just to confirm I am doing it properly I put the file onto the phone's normal SD card (eg "RunnymedeS-Saga-v6.zip"), start recovery mode, wipe data and cache and load from zip file.
It either finishes loading or says there is a problem with the zip file (I've tried 5 or so ROM files). on the times it managed to finish it resets and just gets stuck on the HTC load screen (like before).
In Recovery mode I have:

Ate you still able to boot into recovery?? Try full wiping your phone
Sent my thoughts to your head with XDA App
i'm no expert, but i'm pretty sure there is still bunch of options for you...
search trough forum, even try to install stock roms (ruu)
chin up!
I have tried a full wipe but will try a .RUU file.
I can get into recovery and move about...
Just tried installing from .RUU file using FASTBOOT USB and RUU from computer. And it won't get past the first screen - "Rebooting to bootloader.........."
After all I have done it still tells me I have Software version 1.47.832.1 installed.

Can you enter the custom recovery at all?
If so, do the following and post your result so first we can rule out an eMMC problem.
Set up adb (link in my sig) connect your device to the PC, enter recovery, open cmd (command prompt) on the PC and type:
adb shell
dmesg | grep mmc0
Source : Amidabuddha's excellent guide here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1284196
I can enter recovery and I am on the screen with "HBOOT USB PLUG" when plugged into the PC.
I have set up the abd link but it cmd says "error: device not found"
I assume I have not installed adb correctly or am not in the correct part of the command prompt. Do I need to go to C:/android-tools/ then type adb shell or does it not matter?
When I type
adb shell
dmesg | grep mmc0
I assume I hit return after the first line?
How do I type the vertical line in the second line?
I have HTC Sync Installed
I have the folder at c drive root - c:\android-tools\
I have put a copy of the content of the folder into windows\sytem32
I can't see the phone in "my computer" when it is attached by USB.

Ouch!
eMMC most likely dead. I'm real sorry man... wish there was anything further i could suggest....
You'll have to take it to the Service Centre, and hope for the best.
I still don't understand, that after all the warnings against pulling battery, why do so many users do it? It baffles me. Honest to God, i still have to figure that behavior out... It's like wanting to brick your phone.
I usaly leave debugging on all the time. If it hangs 3 button combo or clear catches with adb and then restart it. Never pull battery out, if you don't have access to PC then leave it and do it later, better do it without risk. And you got faulty emmc before becouse it hanged on app upgrade. Sorry mate

Is pulling the battery the only way to brick the m4g2de emmc chip or can it just happen on its own?

Here is a post about what can brick it. Many things can fry it. But still Never pull out battery
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
I can enter bootloader but the computer can't find the phone unless I go into the RECOVERY (revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4). I assume the text printout is still valid?
In bootloader (after vol down and on) I attach the USB and the screen says (amongst other things) HBOOT USB PLUG (from HBOOT).
C:\>adb shell
error: device not found
Unless anyone thinks the phone is not stuffed, can I brick it further to stop the HTC repair man seeing that it is S-OFF? I have tried to remove revolutionary and S-OFF but can't get anything to work.
Not sure If you can brick it further since your emmc is where you write all of the files

Some how I've f***-up /data and /cache partitions [desperately needing help please]

Hello,
Will installing a new rom on my S-OFF Desire S, it has been a glitch and I've removed the battery to reboot the phone. Now I'm stuck at the "htc logo step".
After some investigation it appears that neither /cache nor /data are now mountable.
I've been think that my eMMc card (which belongs to the faulty serie (M4G2DE)) may have been fried. How ever It appears it is not the case since using adb shell to issue

Can you boot to recovery? If so, have you tried formatting the partitions from there?

Yes I can boot to recovery, and I've tried formatting cache/data partitions, it was not successful.
Should I give it a try with ADB shell ?

Try 4EXT Recovery if you are using different.
Another solution is to flash a RUU it will restore everything. But be carefully for the version, it has to be the same or higher of your current one
EDIT: looked at the first post and I am sorry to say this but your EMMC is corrupted.
Code:
<3>[ 34.849822] mmc0: Failed to get card ready i = 126959
<6>[ 34.850036] mmc0: reinit card
<4>[ 34.850128] mmc0: Starting deferred resume
<6>[ 36.891876] mmc0: Deferred resume failed
Read carefully through this thread there is a scanner that analyzes corrupted emmc card and it *may* (if you are lucky) to isolate the bad blocks and allows to use the device again with a bit shortened storage. No guarantees. The other way is a replacement of the chip - you can find one here

My should question should have been "is my eMMC corrupted", thanks for carefully reading my post.
I'll give a try to the software solution ASAP, thanks for pointing it out !

Scan have been able to go through the whole eMMC's partitions. I would like to believe that the eMMC is still some how usable, but it can't use them. Should I try to "shift" the partitions, to try to get ride of the old file system ?
Thanks again,

Since the eMMC seems to be badly fried, I'm now considering physical replacement. So I've watched the following disassembly video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7sp3gN-vc0
It does not show the mother border without it's protections, so I am wondering what I'll have to do once the protection removed ? any soldering work ?
A last question about the site you've mentioned (parts4repair.com) is it reliable ?

Luckily I have never ordered a chip for myself but this site was referenced from another users in the past. It is even shipped with a bootloader preinstalled so you just have to put it into the device.
As per the soldering process IMO is best to use a services of a skilled technician to do the job

[Q] Random restarts

My sensation keeps restarting randomly.
I've tried:
- Reflashing firmware 3.33, 3.32
- Other roms: Miui v4, cm10, cm9, Darksense, ARDHD, stock, gingerbread cm7.
- New battery
- Battery card trick
Sometimes it turns off completely and I can't turn it back on without pulling the battery out and putting it back in.

I need more information, so I ask you do these things.
OK. First:
Code:
adb shell
dmesg > /sdcard/DMESG.txt
Attach the DMESG.txt file from your SDCard.
Code:
adb logcat > Logcat.txt
Wait for phone to randomly restart (sorry) and attach the logcat file.
Secondly:
Current HBOOT version? Kernel if flashing manually?

I'd previously logged the logcat twice before it restarted and also have a last_kmsg of when it happened. It doesn't seem to reboot when I'm in recovery.
HBoot: 1.29.0000, S-off
Kernel: Stock, faux, sebastian (happens on all of them)
I'm having the same problem with my sensation with alternative battery!!! Please help!!!
It just happened again and I've got another logcat, I'll try and do the dmesg now.
I've tried letting the phone sleep without wifi/3g, taking sd card out, formatting it.

It seems to reboot more frequently on a non-sense rom like cm9/10 than sense based roms like Miui or arhd and I don't think its rebooted or shutdown yet if it's been plugged in to charger/computer.

E:can't mount /sdcard/

Hello! I have the HTC Desire S and it does that problem! I erased the system, data and cache partitions via fastboot but when I boot into recovery to flash the new ROM I face the problem.
I see:
E:can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E:cant mount /cache/recovery/log
E:cant mount cache/recovery/last_log
When I try to install the ROM from my sdcard it says " E:can't mount/sdcard.
What sould I do now? Tried flashing new recovery, went well but still I get the same error. Even reflashed the hboot via fastboot.
fastboot finds my phone. But I noticed that when I am in HBOOT the device is not scanning for the update files as it normally should do.
I checked the sdcard and the problem doesnt come from it.
What to do now? Thanks inadvance!
Greetings, Simeon.

The error messages could mean, that the partition cache is corrupted. Which recovery do you use?
You said, flashing of ROM was unsuccessfull? If not, does booting work?
Have you ever flashed a ROM and got it working? Does flashing another ROM work?
Does that not mean a fried emmc chip? Im sure those error mean that. @ op go to development thread and look at the thread by ben_pyett (rom + guides thread) and go down to the bottom n ul see the links bout fried emmc chip.
I have flashed many ROMs. The problem is that the phone cannot locate the sdcard partition. I already fixed the cache partition but the problem with the sdcard is still present. Will try to push the ROM to the cache partition and then flash it with TWRP recovery.
But anyway is there any chances to fix the error mounting sdcard?
Edit: I think its not fried emmc chip. the command

Well, this could mean your SDcard isn't connected or it is broken. But you said you checked that already.. well if you can get a ROM running you will then could check if you have access to your card.
I start thinking that there is some hardware issue. I just replaced my digitizer so I could have damaged the part that holds the SIM card and the SD. But is it possible the problem to be from the motherboard? If not then I will order new SIM/SD part from ebay and will replace it.
Of course it is but unlikely cause these parts aren't that sensitive. First of all make sure that it is really a hardware issue before you buy anything you don't need.
So I flashed the ICS RUU and the phone works well except for the SD card. So I guess its hardware related. Will buy the SIM/Sd holder but what I am thinking is if it is possible to be something from the motherboard because the SIM works well. Probably the SD slot is broken or the cable is damaged
