[Q] Semi bricked Desire S HBOOT 2.00.000 - General Questions and Answers

I've semi bricked my Phone, boo hoo. Please help I I'm hoping it is possable to fix.
Stuatus is:
*** LOCKED ***
S-ON
HBOOT 2.00.000
Freezes at the HTC logo when trying to boot.
I reached this situation by installing RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.9_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_234765_signed.exe but I did neglect to switch the fastboot option off. Thoug I don't believe this is the issue.
I've tried using an old Vodafone ROM buy downloading a Vodafone RUU, extraxting the rom.zip and copying it to the SD card and renaming it PG88IMG.zip. The Andriod loader picked it up but complained it was an older version than installed software.
Please help. I've looking at pages on XDA and other sites for hours and hours and have got nothing to show for my efforts.
I'm thinking I either need to be able to:
1. Unlock (S off) the phone withough it being bootable, it this possable?
2. Or, find an very recent Vodafhone stock ROM that is compatable with hboot 2.00.002
Though I there may be other way of resolving this.
Many thank
Ivan

Things have moved on (a little).
Using the HTC book unlocker I now have:
*** UNLOCKED ***
S-ON
HBOOT - 2.00.0002
It still won't boot though :0(

[Q] Unbrand Desire s hroot 2.00.0002 vodafone rom

I am nieuw and acording to the video i am a noob.
So i try to be brief and clear.
The problem is some of my letters on my touchscreen are not working.
when i turn the phone (landscape) other letters won't work. ( a other firmware will help???)
I hate vodafone so i want that off my phone and i want to do more with it than
the firmware accepts.
I bought the phone second hand so i can experiment with it and do'nt messup my one HTC Wildfire s
I have read a lot of forum also here on xda.
But i don't understand it.
The one says you first have to downgrade wit a branded rom
The other says first unbrand and then upgrade/downgrade/change
Other say's other things.
What must i do and where can i find the right roms and software to do it.
I have a Desire s (vodafone logo)

I am dutch but english is fine fore me and if i don't get it thes alway's google to translate or find out what you mean.
Long live to andoid!!
if you are considering flash another rom and get rid of vodafone firmware. this thread might help
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525100
First of all, get your phone checked out - the keyboard issue sounds like your touchscreen is failing (hardware problem). You'll want to get that fixed BEFORE you unlock or flash custom roms as that will void your warranty.
After that, you can flash a custom ROM, or use the ICS RUU (NOT recommended!) to debrand your phone. Note that this will involve either unlocking your bootloader (which voids your warranty) or going S-OFF (which is a difficult procedure).

[Q] I need help, Cant update!

I rooted my HTC Sensation a few months ago and I could not get custom ROMS to go past there boot logo screens so I re-installed on carrier/factory ROM from a back up on the phones SD card. I originally wanted to do this to get JellyBean on my phone has HTC'S interface is a little ugly.
The problem is I want to install the latest system up date from my service provider but none of the RUU's I find for my Bell Mobility(Prymid_BM) phone are of the same version so it tells me I have the incorrect RUU, I want to install the system update but I cant because my phone is no longer stock. What els can I do to get my phone back to completely stock so carrier updates work forever and always.
My firmware version is 3.33 and all the BM RUU's i find are of and older version there for wont work
I have looked here for RUUs but there always to old:

What are my options, because as it stands right now services on my phone keep crashing and I have to keep telling it no don't report it to HTC, happens ALOT.

[Q] My phone is bricked (or what ever)

Hi
Before starting I want you to know that I have been through 5-10 threads regarding the subject problem and still not know what to do. I am basically a layman to Flashing. The most adventurous thing I have done is downgrading a Sony Xperia Arc S from ICS to Gingerbread using a simple sofware sort of thing called "flashtool" and downloading ......... (i am leaving it blank cuz at the moment I am quite confused. Lets call it its original firmware)
And before I can explain the problem I am confused between the following terms: RECOVERY, ROM, KERNEL and RUU. Kernel i know is a software layer between H/w and OS. But then why we need to flash it seperately???? it should be a part of OS: which i think is called a ROM. RUU is the update to a recovery. but what exactly is the difference between ROM and RECOVERY. both seem to be like some sort of an image file that contains complete OS. Then there are bloody BOOTs that you have to unlock and keep lock at some times. God knows why
Now coming to the problem:
My HTC One X (bought here in Pakistan and should be containing the international firmware, i dont know for sure)
One fine morning a few days ago my phone showed up the update HTC released recently which changes the appearance of the GUI. I was quite happy to see it and immediately selected the option to install the update. The update ran and installed successfully. I used the new GUI for 2 days or so and then suddenly my phone got stoned (or brick or stuck). It turned off when i tried to use it and then started showing

So I am screwed really badly. The USB debugging mode that i know is essential to install a firmware is not enabled. and my device is not rooted. The device is not charging up properly.
I have downloaded Hansoon all in one toolkit (which seems to be of no use since debugging mode is not enabled). I have android SKD downloaded in my pc. so is HTC Sync. But dont have any idea where to begin.
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY I WANT TO SAVE THE DATA INSIDE THE PHONE THAT I CANT ACCESS.
..... i am trying to root the device using hansoon. but for that i need to generate some sort of a code. Now my device is showing up one option named barcode where i can see MB SN and IMEI of the device. is it possible to generate that code using these three???
I think I have posted it in the wrong forum. mods please delete it. I am starting a new thread in the right forum
Your phone is HTC one X Endeavour ......this forum for HTC one X Evita.....please check HTC one X forum ....we can't really help u that much ... BTW u go to www.htcdev.com to generate unlock_code.bin and follow instruction from there coz right now your bootloader show ****security warning****

[Q] Problems going back to stock after Venom Rom installed

Hi Everyone,
knowing it's all out there, just need to read (a lot), please help me finding the correct way to solve my problem. I can not change to other ROM, mostly due to lack of knowledge. Please before you judge and claim I should read and learn, i have kids who don't allow me read things properly, and there are tons of information out there, seems simplier to ask for directions this time, based on the situation of the phone.
This is the first custom rom I tried on my new S4 HTC One S (not brand new, just new to me). It was stock rom, locked. Followed instructions on different threads, I unlocked the phone, flashed TWRP recovery, installed SuperSU, copied Venom Rom zip to SD card and installed from recovery, with the aroma. Success. Before installation I did a backup in TWRP.
I very much like the rom (though have 2 issues: 1. phone reboots randomly without any notification. 2 phone loses carrier randomly, so I see no GSM connection as if SIM was removed. This happens when phone is untouched so no way SIM is loosy or something). When I try to chose carrier manually from settings, it sais no SIM card is installed...
But I would like to try other roms as well, and also wish to compare some stock roms. So I downloaded a generic HTC Europe stock RUU, hoping I can easily flash it. Relocked the phone, ran the RUU.exe with Fastboot USB mode in bootloader, but it all came up with error messages and left me at the HTC logo. All I can do is to re-install Venom 3.0.0 from recovery, that works, otherwise I end up in boot loop.
Also I can not go back to the original state using the backup from TWRP. It installs boots but it basicaly freezes before the phone setup comes. I can see the background image, the clock and the GSM antenna sign, but thats all, nothing else happens, no matter how hard I try to reboot.

When I re-locked the phone it said Tampered + Relocked + Security Warning
As recovery I have TWRP 2.6.0.0 flashed. I did nothing else.
Could someone help me with instructions or at least directions how I could go back to a nice stock RUU? With the one I downloaded i had different error codes 213 (wrong ID) and 255 Unkown error.
I believe as the phone is not S-OFF and/or Super CID, it is relevant which RUU I download. The phone used to boot with a voda logo, so I believe it was one of the UK or AT voda stock roms, but neither works.
Your opinion/feedback is highly appreciated.
Cheers,

To go back to stock u have to flash the right RUU, depends on which CID ur phone got.
u can download it here: http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=Ville
If u downloaded the right RUU, boot ur HOS into fastboot relock the phone and start the RUU.
Let it finish and u r on stock
Hi Homeboy, thanks for the answer. Seems clear. I have only 1 question. How can I make sure which is the right RUU?
I believe I should do a getvar all command, to see the CID id? Then what shall I look at the RUU's filename?
And after the phone having been relocked, shall it be in fatboot USB in bootloader or shall the phone be up and running when I start the RUU.exe from the computer?
thanks

I am unable to mount my internal sd
PLEASE HELP ME !! My PHONE HAS BEEN LIKE THIS FOR OVER TWO WEEKS NOW !!!
You posted in the wrong forum. This one is for the HTC One S and not the One SV.
I'm not familiar with the model of your device (I only flashed some roms for my father's and my sister's K2_UL). As far as I know running a RUU that belongs to your carrier could solve your problems. But since I'm not familiar with your model I'm not able to tell you which RUU you got to use.
The best thing you can do is try to find some help here.
