[Q] Model ID incorrect! Update Fail!

My HTC Inspire fell in water. I Immediately took battery out. After reading few user groups, I kept my phone in the rice bag for a day.
• Well, it is stuck on HBOOT Screen.
• I cannot use my volume up or down buttons.
• I can use Power button and it goes through checks to find PD98IMG.zip file.
• I downloaded it and copied on the micro SD card.
• Now it goes through blue progress bar and then through yellow progress bar on the top right.
• After this it gets stuck with this message: "Model ID incorrect! Update Fail! Press <POWER> to reboot."
• I am stuck in this cycle. It keeps doing the same thing every time.
I am not trying to root the phone. I read somewhere about Gold Card but that won't work for me because when I connect Inspire to PC, it does not show me a micro SD drive. It seems it is now getting connected as a mounted disk.
Any suggestion from anybody?

Only thing I would suggest is to download attn1's stock rom that's rooted and save the ruu to the root of SD card. But if I was u,maybe get another SD card to flash the ruu. Rename the ruu to PD98IMG.zip and make sure the md5 is correct,to ensure a good download. Flash into hboot and see if it recognizes and flash away. That's what I would do

Ok... I'll try that tonight. Thanks.

No problem let me know how it goes

Which pd98img are you using? If you are s-on then only a signed HTC zip will work, like the original stock unrooted ROM.

True u never did state weather u was rooted or not

I have not rooted. I'll try to find original stock unrooted ROM.
Thanks.

Not sure if I am trying with the correct programs.
I tried RUU_Ace_Cingular_US_1.80.502.3_Radio_12.39.60.19_2 6.06.04.06_M_release_166557_signed.exe
But no success as the phone is not getting connected to the pc. I get error 170 - USB connection error.
I see S-ON on the HBOOT screen. It has "HBOOT USB PLUG" but still can't see from my computer.
Any pointer to signed HTC ROM?

True, I forgot about that. I have been S-Off since release day, lol.

So with S-ON, I need gold card... but my phone is not detected when I connect to computer. So that means I cannot make a gold card. Correct?
Any other way I can make it S-OFF?
Or Any way I can have phone connect to computer? HBOOT screen does get a message HBOOT USB Plus but that's all. It does not get mounted as a disk to the computer.

Do you have another Android? A gold card can be made with any device that supports reading the SD Serial number.
It sounds like you probably have gunk or still have moisture in your vol-down button contacts. Do you have any of that computer dust-off spray? Try blowing the area around the VOL switch good. Maybe try to clean it with some 90% isopropanol and then blowing it down good.

I didn't realize that another Android will work... I will definitely try that.
I appreciate everybody's help on this. I will try again tonight and update the thread.

I had to try couple of sd cards. Looks like I got the gold card ready. I have PB98img.zip on it. Now I get a different error:
Main Version is older!
Update Fail!
Press <POWER> to reboot.
Some where I read I should try with PB99IMG.zip. I'll try to find that and try once more.

No, that's a myth. It has to be PD98IMG.ZIP (I assume that's a typo) for the HBOOT to even load it. What version did you have on the phone before? What version are you trying to flash now? What is the ultimate goal here? Are you trying to get back to stock for an exchange?

I am attaching the screen image of my phone screen.
Not sure what version I had earlier... but over the weekend, AT&T did send an upgrade.
Thanks...

Did you try this already?

That answered maybe one of my questions. Since you mentioned you had the update, I assume you've got the latest from HTC. Your picture confirms that you have the latest radio. Where did you get the PD98IMG you're trying to flash? What version is it?
I assume from the fact that it gives you that message, there is some valid firmware on the phone. Is the problem that you can't get past the HBOOT screen? I think maybe your VOL-DOWN key is stuck (or wet and making contact) preventing you from booting the main boot-img.
And last but not least, why are you trying to reflash a RUU? It appears that you have a valid flash or you wouldn't be getting the message from HBOOT. Is it because you're stuck on HBOOT?
What is your ultimate goal and what is actually happening that is preventing you from reaching that goal? I believe that it is just a stuck key.

I am not trying to root the phone. Once it fell in water I dried the phone (took battery and sim/sd cards out). Also put in the rice bag for couple of days.
I am stuck on HBOOT screen. I just want to get past it. Unfortunately I am not able to use the volume up/down buttons and may that's the problem.
I have also used air spray/hair drier but no luck yet. The volume up/down buttons just don't work.

[Q] my htc sensation will not boot

I have a Htc Sensation running on the Tmobile network
i decided to go with a different rom and tried to install the rom from COREDROID SENSATION XE & 4G v5.1.
after installing it was stock on the boot screen.
I tried to SCID and install PG58DOAG.
at this point my phone will not boot.
I can get into the the recovery mode after i select "recovery" it goes to a screen with a red triangle and an exclamation mark.
I the volume up and power and the try to install a update...but non has worked
can get one help??

download this file http://www.filefactory.com/file/c19...00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_223976_signed.exe
and run it with your phone plugged in your pc, it should do a stock recovery on your phone.

I faced the same issue with another ROM.
The only way I found to reboot was to reinstall the firmware while connected via USB with the PC.
And after that, I reinstalled the ROM.

I couldnt even boot.

Okay, first off stop digging up multiple 1 and 2 year old threads to post about your problem.
Second, be MUCH more specific about what the issue is. What happened before it stopped booting? Was it dropped or something or was it working fine?
Is it rooted?
Is it S-Off?

Sorry about that.
Here are the full details:
I have a Sensation XE, it was running ARHD 7.2, rooted, Bootloader Unlocked, S-OFF
I was playing subway surfers when all of a sudden the phone froze, no buttons nothing worked. After a while it itself restarted and got stuck on the white HTC boot screen. When it didnt progress for some minutes, I removed the battery, reinserted it and tried turning it on. But nothing, no signs of life were shown. Even on connecting the wall charger there was no charging LED.
Only thing is that windows can detect it as QHSUSB_DLOAD or something.
I checked out the Unbricking Sensation forum at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1522351
but they say it works only for devices bricked while turning to S-ON, but as I mentioned mine is S-OFF. So, can I still use their method or is there some alternative?
Thanks

Is the battery charging when you connect it to USB like that? If so I'd say to try an ruu to return it to completely stock. You will lose all user data on the internal memory when doing this. And it will return the phone to s-on and stock ROM. You will have to start over.
Do a search for ruu and you should find the thread that walks you through the process. Its really easy. You basically just run an .exe file from windows and it does everything else.

No, the charging LED doesnt glow.
Phone is detected on USB connection after i remove the battery. And moreover windows doesnt detect it as a phone i think.
PS: Losing data, S-OFF, ROM is not a concern. I just want it working, bought it just 6 months ago :crying:

Do you have access to another battery just to make sure your battery isn't fried? If there is physical damage to the battery it will neither charge nor will it power on.
Also, try doing the ruu thing anyway. Worst its going to do is not work.

from bootloader connect the device in the pc via usb(it should say fastboot usb)
open a cmd in the folder where you have adb and fastboot files and do these commands
fastboot getvar version-main
fastboot getvar cid

Hi there!
Even my device is facing similar sort of problems. Although the situation is not as bad as the op,but still the phone is still just a paperweight.
Now what I did- unlocked bootloader via HTC dev site( HBOOT Ver 1.27)
Decided to S-off by J.Bear method.
Everyhting went fine untill the phone restarted. Controlbear no longer recognised the device. It said check your drivers.
That was the time when everything messed up.
Now the phone would no longer boot ahead of the white HTC bootscreen. And sometimes it even powers on directly to recovery(even when i'm not pressing volume down).
And one more strange thing happening.."adb devices" command doesn't show any devices listed although i can check the firmware and cid version(via fastboot command). And the device is showing up in device manager(my HTC). But adb commands are not working.
Am i missing something?
Any help would be much appreciated.

probably your hboot get locked after S-OFF.that's why adb commands don't work(i think)
check your bootloader details
if now you have S-OFF and locked hboot flash 3.33 universal from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
it will give you also patched hboot which is unlocked
follow the instructions to the letter(important)
and before flashing check md5 sums(important)

Not booting, vibrating only (black screen)

HTC Sensation 4g, on Bell (canada).
It has LeeDroid ICS v4.2.0
My phone will not turn on at all. At first I thought it was the common, dead battery, but its not. I have three batteries, and I even bought an external battery charger to isolate this issue. When I found that it wouldn't turn on, I had not tried to upgrade the firmware or anything for weeks, so a flashing issue is not it.
I cannot get into hboot, recovery, nothing. Nothing has ever shown on the screen since. I have tried for hours to get it into hboot by pressing the vol - and power buttons together, but nothing. I've tried doing it with different batteries, with and without my memory card, with a different memory card etc.
When I press the power button, or after I try to put it into hboot, it vibrates every 15 seconds or so, and this will not stop until either the battery runs out (gets very hot) or I take the battery out.
NOW, the odd thing is, is that I can sometimes get it connected to my computer, and the only thing that I can connect to the phone is fastboot. I cannot connect adb, and obviously htc sync won't work. I've tried everything to get adb working, but nothing works.
In conclusion, my phone is dead, and the only thing that works is command-line fastboot on my pc.
(I like to explain as much as I can in a main post so I get the best help possible) Also, please know that my phone worked perfectly (well as perfect as android gets) for WEEKS before this happened.
thanks guys!

Do you have a backup of any stage? If you can run fastboot you may still be able to save it. There is a thread for unbricking the sensation i'd start there and see if that helps. Can you boot to bootloader at all? If you can download an /RUU and extract the rom.zip, rename to PG58IMG.zip and put on the sdcard then power on using volume down and it will load the file just press power to flash it

Could I flash the rom.zip in fast boot? I do have backups, I will try my luck at one of those.
But I cannot get into any recovery or boot loader at all.
I'm going to try this at work, and will let you Know!

I tried flashing the recovery, and boot using a RUU that I found. I still am getting in fastboot, but thats all. I cannot get to HBoot or any type of recovery.

Sadly I didn't. I deemed it dead after trying a bagillion different things. I read somewhere that it may be a mobo issue, but to fix it, wasn't worth it when I had only a bit left on my contract. I upgraded to an iPhone 5 because android just wasn't for me.

In QHSUSB_DLOAD Mode, nothing working

Hi everyone,
Whilst trying to test a custom bootloader I made, I tried to flash a PJ40IMG.zip in RUU Mode. It started flashing, then froze completely. It displayed finished, but remained frozen on the phone screen. Then the screen disappeared. Upon insertion again, the phone went on to QHSUSB_DLOAD mode.
I have QPST, but no idea how to use it, and don't have the Qualcomm drivers installed, since they are only for x64 machines.
I have tried the unbrick thread in the development section. It flashed the HBOOT, then stood stuck on waiting for /dev/sdb12 I tried holding down POWER again, but didn't recognize the device like it did previously. Now, if I try again and spam
Code:
ls /dev/sd*
the partitions are no longer seen, no matter how fast I try and do it. I have attempted this multiple times, even tried the PblClear tool from unlimited.io, to no avail.
Any ideas? I think I will have a permanent paperweight at this stage.

I don't want to kick you while you're down but you tried to write a custom hboot then tried to install it with the PJ40IMG.zip method? That method has never been used on the One S. No one does it that way. The only reason it worked now was that you have S-OFF and look what happened. How come you didn't try to fastboot flash it?
Back to your question. I've never seen someone recover from the partitions not being enumerated. You're going to need to unbrick it with JTAG. I recommend you use these people http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/htc-one-s-jtag-brick-repair/

No, the plugin gave me a PJ40IMG.zip which I then flashed in RUU mode, the same way that a fastboot zip would, since I knew flashing it via the PJ40IMG method wouldn't work without a USB Y Cable, since it only works with a device that supports microSD.
fastboot oem rebootRUU

I'm glad you learned that! I had seen you recommend to others that you can just put it on your sdcard and it would work. My mistake that I assumed you did it yourself.
I know you've been waiting a long time for S-OFF, sorry to hear you bricked your phone so quickly after finally getting it. Good luck with the jtag. Or if you find another solution let us know.

Thanks, I knew it wouldn't work after I saw someone on the One XL forums who tried it on his with a USB Y Cable, and didn't look for the zip on the internal storage. I used to think it would work after doing it on my brother's Sensation, but it was a no go for me.
At this stage I think I will have to visit my carrier. Hopefully they can give me a replacement or get it fixed somehow.

[Q] HOX will not boot up or turn on or have LED response

Hey everyone. So everything was good for the last couple of days as I was on JellyBAM 6.6.0 evita. This morning after charging my phone I go to open it, view some websites etc. Phone reboots by itself, goes to lockscreen. I try unlocking my lockscreen everything good for about 10 seconds. Try to open facebook up, and boom phone goes black and will not turn on. I know for a fact that is 100% charged as when I woke up I checked the battery as I usually do to see if it charged or not.
I am pretty sure I am on Hboot 1.09 or less as I bought the phone close to the release date. Any thoughts because its weird how I cant turn even turn it on or have a LED light show up when it charges.
Thanks in advance
EDIT: Ok somehow my phone just turned on by itself and I took the opportunity to go into TWRP. Tried restoring but to a previous backup. Became stuck in boot screen. Went back into twrp tried to wipe the system and factory reset but somehow it says failed and that its not able to mount storage or anything. All of my data is gone now for some reason and it says no OS is installed. Do I have to RUU back again?

have you tried getting into bootloader by holding volume down and power? or a hard reset by holding power button for like 30 seconds

Yeah I forgot to mention I have tried getting into bootloader using the volume down + power process along with holding the power button. Nothing is working.

This phone has well-known power management issues. Sometimes the battery stats get corrupted and the phone thinks the battery is dead when it isn't. Unfortunately, this sometimes results in a brick.
Plug into your PC and see what pops up in Device Manager. If you get QHUSB_DLOAD, you've been bricked. However, this may be fixable since you're on 1.09.

Well, wiping /system and factory reset means the OS is erased. Could be the sdcard got corrupted. You'll need to reformat it.
Good news is you're not bricked; its just a matter of getting the software in order.

Ok so should I follow like this.
Download HTC drivers
Download 1.71 RUU
Done?
Because right now my computer does not recognize my phone. Installing the htc sync and the drivers hasnt made my computer (windows 8) to recognize my phone.

Did you try formatting in twrp? Ruu'ing might be overkill here. Can adb see the phone even if windows can't?

I had a similar problem last night with a "missing" SDcard in TWRP. Thankfully, I found a utility that you can run through fastboot that will restore the SDcard without ruu.
HOWEVER...that utility and website link that I found it on are on my computer at home...and I'm not at home
Although, I did find the utility through a google search.
Let me know if you find it. If not - I'll find the link when I get home.

I am having trouble downloading ADB drivers atm. Trying to find an article that explains it. Kind of a noob at this type of stuff. As for formatting, I dont see an option in TWRP.

If you could please link it to me, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I dont know if this matters but I factory resetted from bootloader in the beginning after I was able to turn on my phone. Maybe everything got wiped because I did that?
Does anyone know how I can get windows to recognize my phone because I have looked at several guides on google and nothing is working for me.
Thanks

Here is that link I was telling you about.
Follow the instructions in the cmd. There should be only two steps.
Good luck!

yea, factory reset in bootloader is bad. never do it again unless you are completely stock.

haha yeah I realized that once I did it and read it in the sticky in the android development section. Do you have any idea of how I could get windows 8 to recognize my htc one x?

windows 8 is the last thing in the world i would let touch my computer. windows xp for life.
i heard alot of people having issues with win8 and usb 3.0 ports.
