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:

Is this a fried chip or some other issue?

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...

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.

I'm totally new here so I don't really understand all the stuff , now my problem was I tried to install an update on my htc desire s and it got an error midway on the installation since then when I go to recovery it says

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

And I can't install a custom ROM (error Status 1) and it hangs on the htc white splash screen
I looked up the problem and found many explanations but none did it for me .
Tried wipe data/factory reset , wipe cache , wipe dalvik cache but still the same
In the end I ended up flashing PB31IMG.zip to try and return to stock but now I cant even go to bootloader (volume down + power) nor recovery . In adb it still recognizes my device when I type adb devices .
So can you please help me and tell me what to do now ?
My eMMc is not fried I typed :

And its okay

You cannot install RUU over Revolutionary hboot. You must flash the ENG hboot over it first. Please look in rhe index thread in the Dev section for ENG hboot.
Try to remove buttery for a while and then to boot into bootloader by pressing vol "-" and power buttons.
Also the name of the RUU zip should be different, PG88IMG.zip.

You need to install a custom recovery to do anything regarding installing a ROM. I suggest you flash 4ext recovery using fastboot and then format your device partitions before attempting to install a new ROM.

Why are you trying to change your hboot? You have the Revolutionary hboot, which is fine. You need to flash a custom recovery using fastboot. Download the attached file, and after setting up fastboot on your computer (Link to guide is in my signature below), extract the recovery.img file from the .zip i have attached, and place it in your adb/fastboot folder on the computer. Then boot into fastboot on your phone and issue the following command :
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Once done, reboot into recovery to confirm that you have 4EXT Recovery installed, then select the Wipe data/Format option, and select Format all partitions (except sd card). Now choose install from sd card, and flash whichever ROM you want to flash (I recommend Reaper ROM for testing purposes... it is light and fast)
Okay , working adb with fastboot
Downloaded recovery.img
and when i type
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' <5624 KB>... OKAY [ 0.952s ]
writing 'recovery' ...
And it just hangs there ... for like 20 minutes for now
Should it be so long ? What's wrong , and what are my alternatives ?

The other alternative for you is to use android flasher. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794638
Use it to flash the recovery when the phone is booted into fastboot mode.
Meanwhile, i suggest you post the result of the
adb shell
dmesg | grep mmc0
just wanted to look through the output.
Android flasher hangs too... but it doesn't freeze the fastboot like cmd did
also when I'm in fastboot or bootloader adb says error : device not found , only when I power it off and then connect with usb it says

Hmmm... wierd. Your eMMC looks fine, but apparently you don't have an effectively working fastboot.
Maybe you now need to flash an RUU of your region...? Before doing that, please follow the steps from the post linked below and see where that takes you.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1284196
Also, paste a result of the following command from fastboot :
fastboot getvar all

You have a SuperCID!
Wow...! That makes things easier for running an RUU... Just find an RUU that you want (preferably from your country) and connect your phone to pc in fastboot more, then run the RUU. You'll be back to stock S-on, but then you can S-off using Revolutionary, or just use HTCDev Unlock.
P.S. You may need to (I recommend it) change your misc version to a lower one before running the RUU. Instructions can be found here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399331
Something's irritating me with your problem...
You say you have a device stuck on fastboot, and your eMMC chip doesn't look fried, but you said you try to flash PB31IMG.zip to return to stock.
Could you share this PB31IMG.zip file ?
I think that is the problem source, because the standard Desire S flash zip is PG88IMG.zip and not PB31IMG.zip. I don't know where you got this zip file but please share it, you must have flashed images that isn't for the Desire S.
EDIT : PB31IMG belongs to Incredible. You flashed a flash zip for Incredible. Please either share it or list the content of that zip.
For your problem, maybe a wrongly flashed file causes this, but you are lucky enough to be in fast boot mode. Try run a RUU, preferably of your country as enigmaamit said.
So I just have to type
Code:
adb shell /data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 1.27.405.6
and then run RUU from fastboot ?
I found a RUU but its .exe and requires my phone to be on
Code:
RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.9_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_234765_signed
I am confused about these RUU and which one should I take and how to apply them , there are several from Europe , but I choose the one with the newest radio ...
This is the PB31IMG.zip , but the error I got was way before that , I dont think this plays a role

Hi... sorry i could't attend to you earlier... What error do you get when using the RUU?
Hi,
I am trying to change my rom using CWM. I made my phone S-off. Than installed CWM. While trying to wipe all user data before rom install, it stuck. So I took the battery off. Now it gives error in CWM screen:
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
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
So I read a bit and tried to format the cache partition from mounts and storage section. It gives
Error formatting /cache!
message.
I can go into fastboot, CWM and hboot.
I can install rom zip from sdcard.
I have a backup created with CWM.
I can't boot into Android, I can't restore my backup.
I tried to push recovery again using fastboot but it freezes there too.
I used recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-saga.img file while installing CWM on the first place. Now it is the installed one.
I have SDK and tools like adb and fastboot.
Please help!
1. Download Android Flasher to your PC
2. Download 4EXT Recovery image
3. Reboot the phone to bootloader (there should be FASBOOT USB written somewhere on the screen)
4. Flash the image with the Android flasher (check the "already in fastboot" box)
5. Wipe all partitions and try to install a custom ROM
If not working see the "before eMMC replacement" guide in my signature
Thank you very much for your detailed and quick response. I really appreciate it
I did what you told but, android flasher froze so I shut it down. After that I went to the topic on your signature and checked if the emmc is fried but it is not and responding well. Then I went to the post that is about the partition size. I ran
cat /proc/mtd
command in adb shell and got no partitions listed at all.
Now what should I do?
Again I can not install the recovery you mentioned. Is there anything that I can do with CWM which is already installed and working?
Also as far as I read from other topics, some are mentioning about putting the PG88DIAG.zip file which hboot is searching for in the bootloader startup to the phone and making it un rooted and re root it afterwards. But I could not find the zip file named PG88DIAG.zip so I could not try that. Is there anything you can say about it?

Freezing during fastboot command execution is not a good sign at all. Nevertheless if the eMMC check is stating that your card is initializing properly then you should be able to restore your phone.
Desire S in not mounting in /mnt so you cannot see partitions there
Rename the image from my previous post to recovery.img and try to flash it with fastboot (be sure that you have your serial as output of the "fastboot devices" command): fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
If not working go through the eMMC guide again - especially point 4. Note your hboot version - if it is the Revolutionary one you have to change it

Again thank you.
I did the procedure from the fastboot directly as you told but when it sends the file and begins the write procedure, it freezes. So I went to the eMMC topic again to step 4 and tried to change the hboot version to 0.98.2000 from current 6.98.1002 which is revolutionary by the way. But in android flasher I have this log output
Code:

OKAY [ 0.196s]
writing 'hboot'...
(bootloader) image update is bypassed!
OKAY [ 0.029s]
finished. total time: 0.225s
also in the screen I see
Code:

message at the bottom in red.
So I tried to do it again with fastboot and in command prompt I wrote
Code:
fastboot flash bootloader <img file>
but this time I got this output
Code:

Then I renamed the zip file to PG88DIAG.zip and pushed it to /sdcard/ using adb. After rebooting hboot, it asked if I wanted to start the update and I chose yes. But again at the end it gave the same message with the android flash:
Code:
Can not roll back hboot version
at the bottom in red.
I can not change hboot version to the required 0.98.2000 version with the methods mentioned.
Is there anything else I can do?
The proper command is
Code:
fastboot flash hboot hboot.img
but this is what the Andorid FLasher did
try the following: boot to Recovery, connect to PC, copy the hboot.img file to your SDcard, open command prompt and type:
Code:
adb devices [I](your device serial number should be displayed)[/I]
adb shell [I](there should be a command prompt with the # symbol in front if not type "su" without the quotes)[/I]
dd if=/sdcard/hboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18[I][/I]
if not working try to unmount/mount the SDcard:
Code:
adb devices [I](your device serial number should be displayed)[/I]
adb shell [I](there should be a command prompt with the # symbol in front if not type "su" without the quotes)[/I]
umount /sdcard [I](not a typo the command is umount, not u[B]N[/B]mount)[/I]
mount /sdcard
dd if=/sdcard/hboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18[I][/I]
I copied the file to the SDCard. Then in adb shell
Code:
~ # ls /sdcard/
ls /sdcard/
~ # umount /sdcard
umount /sdcard
umount: can't umount /sdcard: Invalid argument
~ # exit
exit
adb push ..\hboot.img /sdcard/
1627 KB/s (1048576 bytes in 0.629s)
adb shell
~ # ls sdcard
ls sdcard
hboot.img
~ # dd if=/sdcard/hboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
dd if=/sdcard/hboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
2048+0 records in
2048+0 records out
1048576 bytes (1.0MB) copied, 11.191921 seconds, 91.5KB/s
~ # reboot bootloader
reboot bootloader
It still has the same hboot.
After that;
Code:
fastboot flash hboot ..\hboot.img
sending 'hboot' (1024 KB)... OKAY [ 0.201s]
writing 'hboot'... INFOimage update is bypassed!
OKAY [ 0.028s]
finished. total time: 0.231s
Again result is same with AndroidFlasher or installing with zip file from hboot.
Code:
Can not roll back hboot version.
Is there a some kind of write protection? Is there a possibility of mmcblk0p18 not being the right partition section?
Again, thanks a lot!
Yes there is a write protection and this is the reason why I always recommend to change it right after the S-OFF procedure.
Anyway search in the forum for hboot over alpharevx or 2.00.2002 and try them with dd. This is you only way to restore with RUU. But for me this is an indication of bad eMMC and I am surprised that you have positive output of the dmesg command. Also you can push the hboot.img to /data/temp and dd from there

How about RUU-ing your way back to stock, re-rooting it, and restoring your backup? Assuming there is later RUU.exe with higher HBOOT version, compatible with your CID.
And when I say RUU-ing, I mean stock HTC RUU.exe, not Android Flasher.
And if RUU fails, you can be sure it's your eMMC...

I found something that may be relevant. The problem is that, before dd'ing I need to get su rights so every guide I read requires to enter the su command and acquire those rights on before the dd command. But the problem is that, when I enter the adb shell, it seems that I already have the su rights (I have the # mark on the command line) and if I enter su again, it says it is not recognized. So could this be the reason why the partition seems to be overwritten and it is not, me not having su rights while dd'ing? If that's the case, how could make the su command work?
Thanks a lot.

As far as I learned today, because that my bootloader is s-off'ed by revolutionary, the bootloader contained in RUU cannot overwrite it. So installing RUU without getting the stock bootloader with hboot 0.98 is not an option. But thanks anyway, any tiny bit of help is really precious.

Now, I read from somewhere that /system should be mounted before dd'ing so I mounted it from recovery's mounts and storage menu. Than I tried to dd again and I got this output:
Code:
~ # dd if=/data/tmp/hboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
dd if=/data/tmp/hboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
dd: writing '/dev/block/mmcblk0p18': I/O error

0+0 records out
0 bytes (0B) copied, 5.013903 seconds, 0B/s
So what can be the problem? Is it mean that chip is fried?
Edit:
I got dmesg output again and it seems responding well:

Your eMMC is fine according to this command but it may be failed by another reason...
The first guide is pulled off but there is an attachment at the first post..try it as well as 2.00.2002
Mount data before "dd", not system, or mount them all. Try all possible combinations, because in general you should change the hboot first. You cannot proceed otherwise. Then take a look here, because you will not be able to find a RUU for your version.
You can try falshing hboot with a Goldcard as well

I tried both and result is the same.
Also I mounted data and tried. Again same error with I/O.
When I try to mount /system first and then /data, I got error mounting /data. And when /data first and then /system, I got error mounting /system. So I could not try with both of them mounted.
I read about creating Goldcard but I can not get the CID with this code
Code:
cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid
So I can not move further in gold card creation.
Goldcard without device
Also wipe all and try a custom rom again

I had a goldcard at last. Then I tried to install the RUU with goldcard in device. But it keeps freezing at rebooting bootloader phase.
So I tried to flash with fastboot again but result is as below:
Code:
sending 'hboot' (1024 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.185s]
writing 'hboot'...
(bootloader) image update is bypassed!
OKAY [ 0.029s]
finished. total time: 0.214s
And I get
Code:
Can not roll back hboot version
message again.
Then I tried putting P88IMG.zip to goldcard and tried to flash from there in hboot but again the same cannot rollback message appeared and froze.
So I went back to adb shell and tried dd'ing from /sdcard/hboot.img but I/O error persists.
So I am aware that I am running out of choices but, please keep suggesting.
Thanks,
y.
This was mentioned at the first hboot link that I gave you. There is a problem sometimes with region specific or branded devices.
But honestly I have no idea why you cannot replace it via dd. Sorry, but out of suggestions
Maybe you should try at the Revolutionary freenode IRC channel - they are the experts in this field after all....

Thank you for your deep interest and kind efforts, I really appreciate it. As you suggested, I contacted with the guys in Revolutionary freenode IRC channel and they helped me. But there were no solution for it right now. I am going to try my chance with HTC Service. Hope they can do something about it.

Hello Everyone,
My Desire S was running Fallout 4.0 ROM. I had a couple sudden restarts in the last week and a half, but they seem to have been graphic related and because I didn't have the time to re-install, I just lived with it (not a big deal) for the time being.
However, yesterday when I picked up my phone I have noticed that it is stuck on the HTC boot screen. I thought that this is just another one of those restarts, but when the boot operation didn't progress I figured that something is wrong. I booted into recovery (CWM 5.0.2.0) and then got the infamous errors of can't mount Cache/System/Data.
This when my troubles have began because I cannot seem to be able to solve this issue.
1) From within the "mounts and storage" menu I cannot mount nor format the partitions (I get an error such as "Error mounting /cache!" and "Error formatting /cache! The latter takes also a long while in which the format is being attempted but in the end the error appears)
2) When I choose the wipe option (restore factory defaults) it takes a very long time (30-40 minutes) to wipe the data and cache partitions. Sometimes it gives an error message and some time it says complete, but with not effect whatsoever from what I can tell.
3) Attempt to restore my Nandroid backup fails (both of the original stick ROM that came with the phone and the more recent Fallout backup). An error message says that it cannot be completed.
4) I tried to flash several ROMs. The first two failed (including the original Fallout ROM that I have used). I think that I have managed to flash CM7 and RunnyDroid. I say think, because the process seem to be completed without an error, but nothing has changed otherwise, the system doesn't boot.
5) I checked my eMMC by booting into Fastboot and running the command
Code:
adb shell
dmesg | grep mmc0
from adb.
The output is
Code:
dmesg | grep mmc0
<3>[6.953796] mmc0: No card detect facilities available
<6>[6.954345] mmc0: Qualcomm MSM SDCC at 0x00000000a0500000 irq 98,

~ #
To my best understanding it means that the eMMC is not necessarily fried.
4) Because I cannot boot into the system I tried to re-flash recovery (actually 4EXT) via fastboot and adb, but it fails with the error
FAILED (remote: not allowed)

. The same happened when I tried to flash the boot.img from a ROM.
5. I read about installing a RUU. well, I think that I have found a version that fits my phone but all the download links are broken and a web search didn't find the version that I (think that I) need elsewhere. Also, those are EXE file, that to my best of understanding requires the Android system to be booted up in order the installation process to work, which I cannot accomplish at this point.

Additional notes:
1) I took caution not to pull the battery, I know that it can have very negative effects. When I had to, before pulling the battery I have used the Volume up and down + Power combination to restart the phone and pulled the battery in that 2-3 seconds window before it restarts. I also didn't reconnect the battery immediately but waited about a minute.
3) I formatted my memory card (8GB) to FAT32, just in case the file system is corrupt (I have backed up everything first). This doesn't seem to have an effect.
4) I didn't root or S-OFF the phone myself. At the time of buying it I wasn't even aware of all of this and didn't plan to replace ROMs, etc., so I don't have much information about how the S-OFF and Root were achieved, this is how the phone was provided to me.
I would appreciate any input and advice. Is it a faulty eMMC? Is there anything else that I can do (I am far from being an expert in this field)?
Thank you very much.
Please try to be simple. I don't think that all these informations are necessary. This is a question Doesn't Have to be so long. The responders will ask you for additional info if needed.
Thank you for your reply, but I don't see the point in posting a vague and general question that will then require people to ask for information and suggest measures that one might already has taken.
From my experience in other forums (in which I'm more on the "helping" side) it is very frustrating to read vague and general questions and repeatedly ask for the same basic information over and over (and over) again just to get started. It is a waste of time and energy for all parties involved. In my opinion posting the relevant technical information, issue summary and steps already taken with their results is the way to go.
Update: I contacted the lab of the store from which I purchased the device. They tested it and told me that the board is (most probably) faulty, something to do with the electrical components. Because the device is still under warranty they will send it to be replaced.
Hopefully, the fact that I have flashed a custom ROM in the past won't be an obstacle in light of the nature of the fault.
Thank you.
You're right about the information. It does help to just provide it all and the information given is useful. Hope it all works out mate

Hey guys, I have a problem with this phone HTC one mini, in fact I'm trying to unlock it with Sieempi method, but for this I need the device to be s-off. I unlocked the bootloader, the device be rooted, and when I try to use Rumrunner i got this error message.
Code:
Dear User: We will expect that YOU:
(1) Know how to use ADB and FASTBOOT binaries
---- [Yes, use these tools to test USB connection BEFORE running rumrunner] ----
(2) Realize that rumrunner S-OFF cannot support every CUSTOM rom in this world
(3) Understand that irc support IS NOT A GENERAL HELPDESK
(4) Are able to identify and download the CORRECT package for YOUR device
(5) Know how to enable USB-debugging on YOUR device (Yes, do that now)
(6) Understand that you may NOT repack or redistribute rumrunner S-OFF
Ok?
(Yes/No)
Yes

unfortunately this isn't going to work out with your configuration. you have 2 options:
1.) flash an unsecure kernel that's compatible with your ROM and retry rumrunner (preferred and most reliable method).
2.) flash a different rom.
NOTE: No amount of messing around with su binaries and apk's is going to fix this issue for you!!!.
Better luck next time!!!!bye

Then i find this theard

And download this two files, but then I stuck.
I'm not sure how to do the rest, but I tried it this way and I have failed.
I unpacked JmzM4_Kernel-09-4-13.zip file, and copied the boot.img file in the SDK folder from where I started CMD. In the CMD I typed "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and I got the message OK.
Then I went into recovery and found JmzM4_Kernel-09-4-13.zip file on the internal memory of a cell phone and I tried to install it (so I read) a zip file, and then I got the error MD5 file check, something like that.
I then reboot to recovery again and tried to install "JmzM4StockRootedOdex-WWE 1.22.401.1" also a zip file, and again the same error MD5 file check.
Then the phone in fastboot mode remained and could not boot the system. So I had to do a restore of backup I in which they made before I got into flash kernel, and roma.
Here is also my fastboot getvar all the info.

Can someone tell me what is the solution for my problem, I just want my device S-off to try Sieempi method of unlocking, to see if it works. Thx!
Nothing? I try a couple thing more. I think its problem in the file I downloaded, and download a MD5 checker, and says thats ok. Then I save a md5 file from Md5 checker @ the same folder like zip file, and run again from recovery, and now got another error, you can see image.

Please lock theard, phone was smashed. I lost nerves!
Hi Errornt
pardon if i only post today!
had your same situation and now i've solved! the solution? just flash a new kernel! i've used xXminiWHOOPERxX Kernel and now.... i'm s-off
so, unlock bootloader, install custom recovery and root, flash an insecure kernel with fastboot method and run rumrunner
that's all
i'm sorry for your smashed phone
