Messing around with Fastboot (Stuck at HTC Screen(boot-looping)) - HTC Desire S

Heya guys
Another numpty here that has messed up his phone
Well here is what i did, i unlocked my BootLoader using HTC Dev then i decided to have a go at getting a custom rom installed, this is where my plan went wrong.
I used the fastboot method, cut a long story short i flashed over my recovery .img and now the phone wont boot.
then tried to boot recovery and im stuck in an endless booting loop.
I feel pretty dumb, i was a little out of my depth
Any way here is some information:
(bootloader) version: 0.5
(bootloader) version-bootloader: 2.00.0002
(bootloader) version-baseband: 3822.10.08.04_M

Looking at the fast boot commands im pretty sure i havent completely wrecked it but what do i know , i have a very pretty paper weight at the moment lol.

Could you write the contents of your bootloader screen
See this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525100 thread
Swyped from my Desire S using XDA Premium

If your recovery installation messed up download 4EXT Recovery Updater via your phone browser (there is a link at 4ext.net), install it and let it flash the recovery for you.

How complicated writing "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" could possibly become?
Download and flash the recovery you want. If you need direct path for downloading recoveries - http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/
Make sure you choose the correct one (HTC Saga).

well now ive managed to mess around and got aokp_evita-rohan-milestone6.4 rom loaded on my phone, but its stuck in a boot loop at the boot animation... ahhh, this is frustrating.....
How did you get it out of QHSUSB_DLOAD mode? You're s-on so you probably just need to flash the boot.img from the ROM zip via fastboot to get it to boot.

just tried flashing the boot.img from the rom twice to make sure and it still bootloops at the boot animation...
and for how i ended up getting it off of qhusb_dload, i just downloaded all of what i could find for the rogers htc on x and tried flashing this, flashing that, and i dont really know exactly what it was that kicked it out of that mode...
im still confused as to why it wont boot after flashing the boot.img from the rom..
While "flashing this and that" has gotten you out of trouble this time I wouldn't suggest doing that again in the future, it was likely a huge fluke and flashing random things is a pretty bad idea. What ROM are you trying to flash?

well originally i was trying to flash i think it was eragon and i got as far as flashing boot.img and then the rom wouldnt flash. now i have aokp_evita-rohan-milestone6.4 rom loaded but it bootloops.
should i try to flash another rom and keep trying till i find one that will startup?
What is eragon? If that's a ROM you've flashed a ROM that isn't for this device, no such ROM exists for the Evita (HTC One XL / AT&T One X). You're lucky you didn't brick your phone. Have a look through our development sections which you'll find here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1541
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1726
Don't ever download ROMs from anywhere except within those two development sections or you're on a dangerous road to phone bricking land. Find a ROM you think you'll like, read the OP, make sure you meet any requirements it lists prior to flashing, and flash it.
PS. You should really remove your IMEI number from your first post, and the other post where you quoted it. Don't ever post your IMEI publicly.

[Q] Made a mistake with firmware, now ROMs won't boot

My HTC One S is stuck in a bootloop. I'm very new to this stuff.

I can currently start the bootloader, which states S-ON, TAMPERED and UNLOCKED.
I can install recoveries. Right now I have TWRP, and I think it works the way it should.
Tried installing a stock ROM, tried CM11 (which is what I started with) and CM10.2.
I updated the firmware which is what I think caused the issue.
Between every attempt, I cleared cache and dalvik before and after each ROM flash, then rebooted.
Every ROM puts me into a bootloop.
Please help me.

Easy fix your going to have to flash a boot.img from the rom
You have to do this because your S-on if you were S off you would not need to flash the boot img yourself

I have only installed through a PC using this toolkit but the links have been removed anyway to download it.
There are other tools but I have not used them I'm sorry
A little update:
First, recovery stopped having control over the SD card somehow. Right now I can't even boot into recovery anymore.
I think I need to run RUU, but I don't know which one. I have downloaded this one off androidruu.com:
Code:
RUU_Ville_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.16.401.8_Radio_1.11.50.05.28_10.27.50.08L_release_301814_signed_2_4.exe
because it matches my radio version, but I don't know about the rest. Currently in the process of installing Windows 7 on a virtual machine so I can run this thing (why the hell is it a .exe file?!).
Does anyone know which one would work for me?

Rare bird: Stock Tmobile ROM 3.14.531.19

Hi all.
I have a completely stock never-been-modified HTC One S that has started freezing on boot.
No, I never tried to root it, unlock the bootloader, or any other stuff.
I would like to get my data off it, but because I never rooted it, I can't extract said data using ADB (unless you know a trick that I don't).
My options seem to have come down to flashing something to get it to boot... ROM, kernel, radio, what do you think?
- I can get into Fastboot, Bootloader, Recovery, etc.
- I can ADB to the phone while it is boot-stuck (so probably not the kernel?).
I want to get my info off of it and if I can make it boot all the way in, that's an added bonus.
To that end, have you ever seen a 3.14.531.19 ROM that wasn't wrapped up in an RUU? I was willing to try RUU_Ville_U_JB_45_S_TMOUS_3.14.531.11_Radio_1.13.50.05.31_10.30.50.08L_release_309489_signed_ICS_2 but it says that it'll wipe all my info.
Here's my fastboot getvar all:

What say you?
If your phone is bootloader locked, S-ON with original recovery, you're out of luck... The complete boot sequence is secured and if you try to unlock, all data will be wiped off.
The only first step to get to your data would be to root without unlocking the phone, but I can't see how to do that if you can't start the OS.
One thing you can try is to get to the HTC recovery and wipe cache (I think this is possible).
Thanks for the reply.
I have already wiped the cache (forgot to mention that in the OP, sorry) and it didn't make a difference.
It sounds like what I was expecting to hear: My data are beyond recovery... Which is a bummer.
Anyone else have anything to add?
Some miracle cure, maybe?
I'm going to hold off on my attempt to unlock the bootloader another few days in case someone has a suggestion to offer.
A final bump in the hope that someone might have a solution.
Thanks!

[Q] How do I unbrick my device? Please help!

Hi I just wanted to try the Maximus HD 10 and thought I did what was expected but something went wrong and now the phone is totally blank.. I am new to this but read alot in this forum before I began and I am used to computers etc. so I gave it a shot.. This is what I did:
Installed the Windroid Universal Toolkit to unlock the phone, and that went well. Then followed the instructions to install the Maximus HD 10 which also went well until I had to install the newer firmware.. From here things went really bad and after a lot of different wipes and things that I don't know anything about I am stuck with an useless device
I have searched all forums (I think) but with no luck, so if anyone know what I should do I would be really thankful.
And no.. I do not have a backup!!

Fastboot can communicate with the phone but ADB devices will not find the phone.
If I reboot the phone I only see the HTC start screen for a few seconds and then nothing.. It has TWRP on it which I can enter.
Please help me!
If you have TWRP you might download any ROM and flash it but since you're S-On don't forget to flash kernel in fastboot mode after you flash the ROM.
Kernel is the boot.img file on the root of the ROM zip. Extract it to PC and while in fastboot issue the "fastboot flash boot boot.img" command.
For changing firmware you need S-Off which you don't have. To gain it you should flash first a close to stock ROM (like Viper for ex) then try to gain S-Off with rumrunner or another method. Then you can flash firmwares

Don't forget to do that after every ROM flash. If you'll get S-Off, you won't need to do that anymore

HTC ONE MINI, NO OS, no ADB, Bootloader Unlocked, TWRP and fastboot works...

Hello,
I will try to explain what happened, although I am not sure... I tried to root my phone so I can do a data recovery as I lost all data... at this stage phone still rooted fine, no contacts, no sms, no nothing... it looked like a factory reset.
1. I used htcdev to unlock bootloader
2. I flashed recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.6-m4.img to try and load the superuser.zip to root my phone... I tried several zips, but none of them rooted it... I had to use adb through: cmd C:\Program Files (x86)\HTC\HTC Sync Manager\HTC Sync>, at this stage phone still booted normally and no problems... so I used adb push to install zips to root it... none of them worked...
3. I realized that it might be the clockwork recovery that is the problem, so I decided to change the recovery to TWRP... and this when something went wrong as the phone wouldn't reboot into normal mode anymore, only bootloader... I though giving it a factory reset would solve the issue, so I did... nothing happened...
4. I managed to flash twrp-2.8.7.0-m4.img recovery and discovered that there is no OS and basically apart from the bootloader theres nothing else on the phone...
I understand that I need to do a RUU flash, however I cannot find the one I need. I followed this thread, however I cannot seem to find the RUU that I need
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc...-official-stock-sense-6-rom-firmware-t2817921
I also tried fastboot flash zip sense6_firmware.zip, it cannot do it... gives me a fail error...
and now I am stuck as adb doesnt work to push files from either the unlock folder, nor the htc sync one or C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>
This is my first root attempt (maybe I shouldn't do one and won't in the future ) as you can see, but maybe I am just missing something very obvious and easy...
I'd like to get the original soft back on the phone but even if its still stored on it, I don't know how to get to it and make it work...

Looks like we have the same version... Honestly, I spent so much time on trying to S-off it and fix it, I think I'll just give up... I found a UK based service that does it for £20... not sure it's worth the time and effort to fix it ourselves... if you're UK based, msg me and I'll give you the details if you're interested!
Hi there, if you unlock the boot loader you will wipe all data from your phone. You confirmed that with the swipe to agree unlock. Recover your data might be difficult but you can give it a try even from Recovery itself.
The easiest way to get your phone back to work is the appropriate RUU for it, but with unlocked boot loader and TWRP booted you can try to put the ROM via USB on the Phone. Flash it via TWRP and since you where S-ON you need to flash the boot.img for your chosen ROM manually the same way you did it for recovery (fastboot flash boot boot.img). If your boot.img does not do well with your ROM you will get into a boot loop. hope this helps.
