[Q] Desire S problems after flashing RUU

Hi Guys.
Before i start i want to mention that i searched everywhere and basically all these technical guide's and terms makes me even more confused and i don't really know what to do with this problem i have.
Ok here we go, last night i S-Off and Rooted my cousin's HTC Desire S with (revolutionary-0.4pre4 and Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed).
-Revolutionary-
SAGA PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-6.98.1002
RADIO-3822.10.08.04_M
eMMC-boot
Mar 10 2011, 14:58:38
So far so good, this all worked fine. No problems.
After that i installed the "RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.5_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_219480_signed"
It was successfully flashed but here is where the problems started, after this i got the famous "stuck on white background with green HTC Logo"
Now to make things worse, i cannot access SD Card from the phone and it will not recognize my phone anymore from my PC (with ADB drivers installed).
The only thing that does work and recognize my phone is the "Fastboot USB" mode on my phone along with the "
ROM Upgrade Utility (RUU) - Aruwizard.exe"
I got a tons of errors and problems.
1. HBOOT gives
SD Checking...
Loading... [PG88DIAG.zip]
No image!
Loading... [PG88DIAG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Loading... [PG88IMG.zip]
2. in Recovery menu the following problems occur
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
Wipe data/factory reset gives
E:Can't open /data/cwpkg.zip
E:Can't open /data/cw.prop
E:Can't open /cache/cwpkg.zip
E:Can't open /cache/cw.prop
Apply update from sdcard gives
-Invalid Operation-
Also i seem to have lost a few options in recovery after the RUU like "install zip from sd card" etc
My question is : Is there anything that can fix this or did the RUU bricked it completely?

I believe before flashing you were supposed to do a downgrade HBOOT using ENG HBOOT
Atleast thats what i did!

Revolutionary hboot has protection to prevent it from being overwritten, the way to change the hboot is to write it through recovery, but you also need to flash a recovery option (if none is available), through fastboot.
Basically, check if CWM or EXT4 are installed, if yes flash hboot through recovery (see the last 10 pages of the ENG HBOOT thread), if no, flash recovery through fastboot (see google), once recovery is installed, flash hboot, then proceed with RUU.

I tried this as well

But no luck either

Most other commands just give a "(bootloader) [ERR] Command error !!!" so i just ended it with "fastboot reboot"
So my guess is that is must have something to do with that HBOOT thing yes.

Problem now is, when i select "Recovery" from the hboot menu.. it gets stuck also at the White background / green HTC Logo screen. so now my recovery part is broken also?

Its all working now, i used the wrong recovery image at first.
I got clockwork recovery to work and from there i could do the HBOOT ENG and a pre-rooted RUU
xAutobot and Zeekiz, thanks for your help. Much appreciated!

i have exactly the same problem but i do not understand what you did to fix it...
do i need a program for my pc? what recovery did you use? just a simple explanation of what you did because im worried i cant get my phone to work again and im not necessarily a tecnitian... please

I can't remember anymore tbh its been a long time since i did this.
But it had something to do with the right recovery file for your phone i think.
at the clockworkmod rom manager website you can download it.

What you need is, first:
- change the revolutionary hboot for an engineering hboot to allow RUU to overwrite it.
--> https://www.box.com/s/8a14444cd1dc4c91f077
This file contains both original and overalpharevx .img (6.98.2000) you should use this one first. You could use fastboot, android flasher or the PG88IMG.zip (the easy way) included to do that.
when it's done you can safely run the RUU and go back to stock (s-on)
or
you can flash 4ext or clockworkmod using fastboot and enjoy your custom rom.

Bricked HTC Magic? Who is the magician....

Hello XDA-developers,
A few days ago I've received a HTC Magic from a friend of mine.
He tried to flash it to a different software version, but he got stuck.
Now I am stuck with this phone.
I've tried probably all the tutorials on this forum and all the others, but now I'm really desperate.
So please help me.
Here is the situation:
Type of Phone: HTC Magic
Hboot: 1.33.0007 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-10
Radio: 2.22.19.261
The phone cannot access its SD-card in recovery mode(2e).
It gives me the following error:
"E:Can't mount /dev/blcok/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
(No such file or directory)"
It does not boot anymore to the system(it does boot but gets tuck at the lockscreen, where it has no option to unlock).
It's not accessible with adb.
It's accessible with fastboot.
Tried to enable SD with flashboot:
"fastboot oem enableqxdm 0"
But getting:
"...
(bootloader) [ERR] Command error !!!
OKAY [ 0.007s]
finished. total time: 0.007s"
Tried to flash bootloader:
"fastboot boot recovery.img"
But getting:
"downloading 'boot.img'...
FAILED (remote: not allow)
finished. total time: 0.000s"
Tried to copy sappimg.zip to SD-card, but since it's probably not accessible,
it cannot find it in HBOOT-mode so also doesn't flash it.
It's a Dutch Vodafone Branded HTC Magic.
I've been working on this phone for the last 48 hours, I know it's not worthed, but it's the principle
I know the problem is in SPL version, but all the tutorials mention that you update this throught the SD-card, which I cannot access.
Anyone there to help me with this problem?

I can't advise on your solution, but i wouldn't say its bricked if you have fastboot access.
If you post in the general section you'll probably get more help.

My English is bad

Find instructions here on how to use the
you're sure to succeed

Thanks for the suggestion,
But my Vodaphone branded HTC Magic still has S-ON AND Standard SPL.
Both things are changeable, but then I thirst have to flash it in some kind of way.
I found out that i am able to read SD with SAPPIMG.zip.
But for now I have not found a zip file that is accepted by this phone.
Can anybody help me in this?
A custom rom is not an option until the recovery mode has been changed to CWM, for now it is still recovery 2e, and cannot read my SD-card.
Thank you!

I am out from QHSUSB but can't flash recovery!

Hello,
I do not know how but my phone get out from QHSUSB and now I can go to hboot.
The problem is there is no ROM when the phone boots. It's stuck on HTC logo.
I have unlocked the bootloader with HTCDEV but it is not S-OFF. Hboot is 1.18.
When I go to fastboot I can write "fastboot flash.... recovery.img" and it goes OK, but after restars bootloader I tried to go to recover but the phone just stuck on that logo again.
I have tried CWM and 4EXT but it is the same problem.
Can I flash RUU without recovery and ROM?
Help, please!

Yes, but I don't see instructions about installig RUU afeter unbricking.

Normaly RUU (Rom Update Utility) is an exe that you can run from PC to bring a ROM or ROM update to your device. As far as i know.
Where did you find this three commands?
May you could post you question to the Unbrick thread to, i´m sure that there are people that can help better as i can, because i´m a Themer and not a Developer. ;D

Can you boot your device into Bootloader by pressing Volume Down+Power Button. If yes put the PG58IMG.zip on SD Card and Boot into Bootloader, normaly the device will flash the P58IMG.zip if you start into Bootloader.

I have tried but the ZIP just done nothing. Loaded and.. nothing.
I think the there is some other problem. May be some partition is not accessible.
Also I now see that I have to S-OFF to flash RUU tru fastboot.

Okay, normaly the device should flash Firmware (P58IMG) when booting in bootloader. You sure that you put it directly to SD and not in a folder. PLS ask in the Unbrick thread, there are a lot of people that are more fit in developing as i am. I telled you what i´m knowing. Sorry that i couldnt help you to bring your device back to life but maybe there are people that can help. Give it a try pls.

You got the fastboot command wrong, its:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
In any case you cant flash a firmware with S-ON that why the unbrick thread says find an RUU exe and run it

Flashing an RUU is a must after unbrick.
The error you got wile flashing the RUU is because your bootloader is unlocked.
Relock your bootloader using this command:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Then, flash an RUU.
If you can paste the output of
Code:
fastboot getvar all
then I can provide you with a link to the appropriate RUU for you.
Please remove your IMEI & Serial Number from the output.

I just was doing this fastboot oem lock but my battery is down.
I will charg for few hours and then I will try again.
The CID is HTC_032 and I think that the MID was PG58130.
I will get them again after charging.
Thank you.

Yup. Just put the phone into fastboot & flash.
You need the one that is for your device. PG13001 is Sensation XE & PG13000 is Sensation.
You said your mid is PG58130 so I gave you both.
Choose the right one for your device.
================================================
You will also need to unlock your bootloader after flashing the RUU if you want to flash recovery.

Great to see that somebody can help him. Thx and thumbs up!

I have successfully flashed the RUU. The Hboot is now 1.27, but still no luck boot or getting to recovery.
Tried to flash custom recovery again. It was successfull but I can't get to it.
I think that partitions in nand /emmc/ are messed.
Some other ideas?

do
this
boot to recovery using this command
fastboot boot recovery.img
then if you booted up fine ..then flash a custom rom from it

Did you try the hardware key way? Same as bootloader, but power and vol +
Practically gave myself a heart attack yesterday. Someone here was having trouble getting into bootloader, and mentioned power and vol +. I couldn't remember what that did (knew it wasn't bootloader) so I did it, and put the phone in Qualcomm download mode!
I was able to get back to bootloader, recovery, and reflashed the ROM that happened to be on my phone.

No. What I meant was your cid isn't supercid anymore. And I wouldn't use that RUU since your hboot is 1.14; wait till someone more experienced helps you out

I've actually never used JET, and not quite sure how it works.
But power and vol + will put the phone in QHSUSB_DLOAD in most situations (nothing to do with JET), if that is all you are trying to do. Similar to how power and vol - boots into bootloader. Just curious if it would still worked in your "bricked" condition.

Are you able to get into fastboot? If so just use stock RUU to get back to stock,

thats the thing, i can get in to fastboot, try to run the 2.20 RUU starts and maybe 1 minute later it fails, and gives a ERROR [131] i google it and it seems to be because the cid its not the correct one anyone knows if there its a way to bypass the cid verification?

download a ROM.. put it in your fastboot folder,
boot into fastboot and try this

You can try to find the cidnum for the htc onexl and see if you can trick it by editing android-info.txt file to match cid num.
