hi, I just bought a used htc inspire 4g, the guy how sold it to me told me that I just need it to do a hard rest and the phone will be good to go
I did the hard reset and the phone stays on th htc withe screen, a need to remove the batery for the phone to turn of
the phone does star up but its locked, i have the emei unlock code but wen I enter the code the phone says succssesfully unlock but wen the phone restarts its stays on the htc withe screen
I´ve been browsing arround and I thing it has a corrupt rom or something like that
I dont have the memory with any of the roms or anything like that
can I restore my phone to the original settings or how can I fix the problem?
thanks!
Well, I'm at a loss but let's see where this goes until someone else who knows joins the thread
While the phone is off press and hold the volume down button and while holding it down press the power button.
Wanna see if you get a few options there or if it boots normally.

OK, download the att ruu, and from that boot screen.(where it shows pvt son,hboot etc) plug in your phone to PC and run the orogram. Links to the ruu can be found in the sticky above(stuck in boot/white screen read this) you'll want the last section

do I need to do the alternate-flashing or RUU?
how do I know withs one to download
the AT&T Inspire 4G - Froyo
or
AT&T Inspire 4G - Gingerbread
edit: I thing its the AT&T Inspire 4G - Gingerbread because the radio numbers,
Its the same. The alternate method is flashing the ruu. And use the gb one.

Go to the HTC site, and in the support section download the GB update file (.exe). Boot into hboot (power + volume down) and then choose fastboot (you will see fastboot usb in red).
Then, let it work....that should flash the GB stock rom.
Just 1 piece of advice...NEVER INSTALL A FROYO RUU if your device was shipped with GB or you are not sure with what OS it came with....you will mess it further....

hi friends,
i have just f*cked up my desire S!! pls help me out!!
i have done S-OFF with XTC - Clip and also ENG HBOOT,
i tested some coustom roms on my new device till now.
now i tell you what i did:
i had this rom on my device:
[ROM] 06-13-2011 SAGA LBC MOD v0.5.1 link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048203
then i wiped all data and cache over costum recovery (vers. 3.2.0.0)
after wiping i flashed this rom:
[ROM][Jun 14] Virtuous Unity 1.24.0 Sense 3.0 based on Pyramid link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122797
and rebooted my phone!
i also read that the recomanded radio for this rom is:
Recommended radio: 12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2
but i downloaded the wrong radioimage - file and i flashed instead this one:
http://files.virtuousrom.com/vision/radio/Vision_RADIO_12.52.60.25_26.08.04.30_M3.img
i flashed the radiorom with fastboot ober adb - everything was OK but i took the wrong radio ROM so after reboot the device does NOT boot!!!!
AND i cant get to BOOTLOADER or recovery!!! USB is also bricked!!! my PC can not find my device ( ADB)
so i NEEED help pls help me out devs!!!
i don't think the desire s has JTAG. i could be mistaken though.
does the phone register as a usb device at all when you connect to usb and push the power button?
PUSH
@ all devs in here!!!
pls help me out if possible,
NO bootloader, no USB (ADB), no recovery, NOT booting --> is my device DEAD?!?
is there any chance to get back to life without any further hardware (JTEG - BOX)?!
nothing happens when i conect my desire s to my pc!
well to 99,9999% except if you are hardware developer and know how to write to the chip directly - yes it is dead
So, this means if you flash the wrong radioimage, it can kill your phone?

yes, i had bricked 1 year ago my htc magic with this
depends on the device, for example my old DHD recovered it's radio after i flashed a raido of the desire z, so it looks liek some devices got a protection against it
anyway, wondering why the desire s didn't has that protection when the dhd has, but can be duo locked down bootloader so they won't need it
i have to say i am surprised that flashing the wrong radio breaks it. the bootloader should remain unaffected by this and therefore still kick in and allow to flash a correct radio rom

I have always been told flashing the wrong radio will cause a brick. This thread seems to explain it for me. But whether this goes for every device I don't know.
Thanks for the link, L0cke.
But the initial question from the OP in that thread never got a precise answer...
"All I'm asking is to know exactly what is the real, down and dirty dynamics behind the radio flashing danger so I can be absolutely sure to avoid it in the future. I have yet to see a truly understandble explanation of this."
Can someone answer this in understandable words?
I actually never flashed a radio with my old Desire, even though I flashed roms like crazy and it always worked for me. I knew that flashing a radio is a critical process, so I thought unless something didn't work at all, I don't need to touch this radio stuff...
Over 600 views but no answer so far. I fear that I really ****ed up my new device.
If any dev knows a solution pls help. Remember I have S-OFF and ENG-hboot also.

if there is absolutley no life in it then its bricked and you cant do a thing anymore besides going to the store and tell them in the morning when you woke up it didnt turn on anymore.
ive done that with a samsung galaxy s 1 and i got a new one under warranty
if there is any sign of life then tell precise what kind of life there is in the phone then there mgiht be a chance of recovering it i think
i mean when you plug it in the ac will the charging light burn?
when you turn it on will there be any message on the screen?
if nothing is seen do you see the backlight of the screen turn on but dont display a thing

Adb doesnt recognize the phone you said.
Any idea about fastboot commands?
As it still turns on it should be able to do something.
Instead of booting bootloader could you try recovery with vol UP and power
What happens when you do that?
Edit: not sure if that whas the combo as it dont work on my dhd. Will try it tonight when i get home on my gf here desire s

Hi All,
This is my first ever post but im an avid user of XDA - Please forgive me if someone else has said this,
I installed AlphaRevX's s-off patch - Brilliant!!! Excellent! Until I read about the charging issue when the battery is flat, so flashed a custom rom to have a look see and quickly went back to stock ROM (RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.35.401.1_Radio_10.43a.9007.00U_10.51.9007.27_M3_release_198179_signed)
I just looked at the bootloader and I still have s-off without the Revolution text at the top!!! is this luck?!...
If not, looks like something worth investigating
Mart
Sure you was not s-off before?
If you are sure have a look if it is ship or radio soff or hboto soff
Can you send me some links regaridng to the error ? Get my sensation in a few days back and so i dont read all carefully ;-)
I'm pretty sure flashing the stock rom wouldn't mess with the bootloader at all and make it back to S-ON. Then again I could be wrong.

I am having issues now with charging a completely dead battery. It doesn't recognize it, the orange charge light comes on for two seconds and then starts flashing orange or turns off completely. Multiple tries to charge doesn't make a difference. My battery is at 3.1v right now, so I am going to try charging it with a different phone and getting the voltage up. What ever you do, don't run your battery completely dead. Worked fine until this.
This is related to the recovery, so becareful what you flash. attached is a ZIPPED version of the orig recovery.

If you would all please read the threads.
This is a known issue.
Clockwork Recovery released by Revolutionary currently does not support charging. So if you turn off your phone with fastboot disabled, you will not b able to charge.
Team Revolutionary are working to fix it, as soon as it is fixed, it will be updated in the S off sticky guide!
Flashing a Stock RUU will wipe everything including clockwork recovery with a stock recovery.
BUT IT WILL NOT REMOVE S-OFF.
so once you s-off and flash back to stock you stay s-off
I can confirm that flashing that stock RUU does remove the "Revolutionary" text at the top, almost as if we have a stock S-OFF device.
Where does one find the ruu ROM?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
Now try to go to your recovery after you revert back to shipped ruu and see if it works... mine does not.. it goes to a screen with a phone and a red triangle with an exclamation point when I try to load recovery.
After I flashed the official RUU, I simply placed the recovery zip back on my sd card and updated it the same as before
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
I read in another thread that if you flash the eng hboot and then the offical RUU for your carrier that it should return you to stock with s-on.

S off is not the reason you're not getting OTA, custom recovery would be the most likely culprit. To see if you are s off, poweroff the phone, remove battery, replace battery, hold volume down and power, release the power button but keep holding the volume down, H Boot should appear, it will say s off or s on.
Did you buy the phone new or used? Have you flashed any custom ROM?

If you read what they posted, they cannot get to the boot menu. I have a RUU program designed to run remotely from my computer over USB that works wonders if I ever have a problem. I could find the stock .img for your phone and send you the program where you would just plug your phone in over USB, run the program, locate your RUU file (which would be included) and your done. Should be back to normal, worked for me when I accidentally bootlooped. PM me for more info. This will require you to re-root your phone.

TC Inspire 4g Unbricking Guide
In this guide I will be showing you how to unbrick the HTC Inspire 4g for AT&T.
Requirements:
1. Your bricked phone (of-course)
2. HTC-Sync
3. USB Cable
4. HTC Inspire 4g Gingerbread RUU
5. S-ON
Steps:
1. Download HTC-Sync from: http://dl3.htc.com/application/HTCSyncv3.0.5579.exe
2. Download HTC Inspire Gingerbread RUU from: http://dl4.htc.com/RUU_Ace_Gingerbr...60.25_26.10.04.03_M_release_200368_signed.exe
3. Install HTC-Sync
4. Boot into Bootloader mode and plug your phone into your pc
5. Run the RUU executable
6. It will take a moment to start, but when it does, go through the steps and it should start to flash the firmware
7. (Optional) Sometimes the process will freeze. It is ok though, open task manager, close the process, unplug your phone, pull the battery, and start over the process until you get it to work. (It worked first time for me.)
Then your phone should restart after it finishes flashing. Then your phone will be unbricked!
Thank you for looking and I hope this helps you in some way!

flashing the rom is the problem. it wouldnt let me into the recovery. the steps above actually help. now i just need to root the thing
I notice the bootlaoder step is vague. It needs to be in fastboot. So select fastboot from hboot so that you see fastboot USB on screen then run ruu.

Your sdcard is corrupted and won't work as a goldcard. Get a NEW one or one that has not been improper dismounted. By the way, if you phone were bricked then you would have nothing to do. You just got stuck.
Get the new sdcard and then flash the PD98IMG.zip file that the Hack Kit downloaded (it is in the PD98IMG folder and it is usually called PD98IMG-GBx.zip, being x a number. Of course make sure that you rename it PD98IMG.zip once in the sdcard).
Then boot in hboot and wait to be prompted to update. After that, you will be downgraded, just re run the hack kit and you will be ready to go. SALUD!

I suspect that I have issues with my sd card. Can these issues with corruption be corrected?

Not with the same card, as far as I know. You need to get a new one. The card tends to get corrupted when it's improperly unmounted.
Bricked?
Recently tried to return to stock RUU via ace advanced hack kit. During the return to stock there was an error and my phone attempted to reboot. I currently can't get past the htc boot up screen. It powers on, shows htc screen, then fades to black. Attempted to hold power and vol button with no luck. Anyone have any suggestions how to bypass this? Can't get my pc to recognize my device so not really sure if I can push a new rom to it or not.
Thanks,
Ryan

What do you mean by "no luck?" What happens exactly when you hold power and volume-down?

The screen stays backlit but will not progress past that point. No recovery no anything.

What was the AAHK error? Which RUU? Was AAHK up to date? Were you S-OFF? ADB doesn't detect your device?

Radio downgrade failed. I attempted to use the froyo shipped ruu and was then going to upgrade from there. Yes I was S-Off and no can't get anything to recognize my device.

I have a hunch that you may have messed your bootloader. Wait for tomorrow and hope glevitan shows up to verify/denounce my hunch and help you out.
Didn't he update the guide to reflect how to fix that issue? Not sure, can't remember.... too sleepy to check. :screwy:

Have you tried pulling the battery out for a few seconds then hold volume down and press power. Don't let go of volume down until you see hboot screen.

You can flash this PD98IMG. It will take a long time to react to stuff though so you will have to be patient. It's the inspire gingerbread hboot.
PD98IMG
After that use this PD98IMG to install the gingerbread Rom. You will still be s off but on 2.47.502.7.

Well, you failed to read and follow the manual and besides you even flashed a froyo Ruu when you are told not to so?
conclusion: messed bootloader. You will have to fix it yourself. I decided not to help lazy people anymore. What first happened to you was Normal and detailed in the effen manual. If you had read it you would be enjoying your phone now.
