my phone all of a sudden any time i press any of the keys the screen goes blank and then a phone option come up saying to either mute the phone or power off. wondering if thats a hardware problem of is it a soft ware problem?
i have done a master rest on the phone and still have the problem.
was considering to root the phone and put a new rom in but would like to know if you believe it a hardware issue i wont even bother.
i reflashed my rom when a similiar situation occured
it worked so it cant hurt
might fix the issue

hit home, enter, enter, type telnetd, enter, open the telnet app and make sure it says 23, then hit connect. that should fix it.
Hi
I made a very stupid mistake
I used the tool to root my xoom wifi model
I used the tool in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011196
I tried to post this issue in the thread but I did not have the permissions.
by mistake I used the root of the 3G model
I followed the steps and everything was ok
I tried the unroot and here is the deadly (hopefully not) mistake
the xoom stops and first screen and refuses to boot
Did I brick my device??
Is there a way to resolve this problem??
Thanks
Yes, you have bricked it. Fastboot won't work at this point, so your only option is probably to return it.

Can you see the xoom in /fastboot devices? See if you can access you xoom from the computer. I actually did the same thing and got mine in working order.

Try doing this real quick, the best that can happen is that you can turn this around. You may NOT in fact be bricked. I made the mistake of doing this also, but I figured it is just like when I was using the Danger SPL on the G1 and I had to at least find a way.
So, do this real quick if you know how.
1. Power on and press Vol - at the same time
2. Open a command prompt to your ADB file and type in fastboot oem unlock
3. If this lets you in (it may not) go through the regular procedure of pressing Vol -+-+
4. It will format and you should know if it is in fact bricked or not because it won't boot up.

6. Profit???
Let us know how it goes.

you should try flashing the boot.img used to root i believe its tiamat 1.1.6 and the system.img for wifi. i have the stock system.img if you need it. hopefully that would git ya to boot atleast. MAKE SURE THAT IT IS WIFI ONLY.
Go here and follow the second post I posted. This will help you do this without downloading the files because they are already there.
Give it a shot at least

Yes, it has all been fixed. There still seems to be an issue with SU rights until you download BusyBox and no clue why.
I have been testing the WiFi one constantly and have not had any major hickups.

Told ya haha, save those files on your computer for next time. I keep them in close reach just incase something happens. if you have any other problems give me a holla. glad everything is working again.
I think I'm more screwed than OP because I was already unlocked and rooted. Then locked my wifi xoom with the 3g one click tool. Yes I know that was very stupid but I was wondering what are my options?
Take it back to Amazon?
Use the following method in this thread?
Wait for SBF?

It relocked? Yikes... I don't trust those 1-click things. I need to know what's going on step by step. My first Xoom got bricked when I thought I had untainted OEM image files and relocked it. There's really no reason to relock a Wifi Xoom right now.
Anyway, if it relocked, you might have been in the same boat I was where the computer wouldn't recognize the Xoom in Fastboot mode or RSD mode. And I went and got it exchanged at that point.
Oh, if RSD Lite can't see your Xoom in RSD mode, you might be out of luck. SBF won't help if RSD Lite can't see your Xoom. BUT, if it does see it, it sounds like you can flash the 3G/4G SBF from Motorola/Verizon and to get sorta running, then use Fastboot to overwrite the boot and system partitions.

hey everyone. i just grabbed a bnib one s off of craigslist that has been locked to a different carrier then i use. when i paid a website for the unlock code from the imei they said they couldnt do it and refunded my money. when i asked why they said the code hadnt been posted by the manufacturer and that i should wait a few weeks. when i googled this i found something that said manufacturers dont usually produce unlock codes until phones have been on the market for 3 weeks.
seeing as how the one s has been out for months, could this mean the actual phone needs to have been released for over 3 weeks?
big thanks to ferraripassion at www.htccode.com, he was able to get my unlock code when 3 other websites failed. the code was also emailed to me almost immediately. hes much faster, and has much better service then the other websites i tried. if anyone ever needs unlock codes, or is having trouble finding theirs either pm him, or visit his website. his site also has an imei checker so you can verify he has your code before you bother paying and dealing with refunds like the other sites.

Have you taken a look at the thread SIM Unlock for FREE
yes ive read that. my problem with that is:
i recently bought a bnib one s that was unlocked, it worked fine for a few weeks then got stuck in a bootloop without being modified or rooted. i could not enter the recovery and factory reset didnt work. i unlocked the bootloader and attempted to install an aftermarket recovery and it also wouldnt load. installing a ruu also wouldnt fix the problem. when i tried to get it warrantied htc wouldnt cover it because i unlocked the bootloader.
now that ive bought my 2nd one s, im going to use it for a month or 2 before i bother unlocking the bootloader. hopefully a 1 or 2 month grace period will be enough to weed out any potential defects.
i tried another unlocking site htcsimunlock.com, they also couldnt find the code, however they have access to htcs company database and said they have a 99 percent change of unlocking it for an extra 15 bucks. im gonna give them a try.

Oh yeah, you can root the phone without unlocking the bootloader using this tool.
https://dl.dropbox.com/s/koi38l3uve546rs/Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v17.zip?dl=1
Turn on USB debugging on your phone and run the script on your computer.
Press 1 for normal
Then on your phone press "restore my phone"
Then wait for it to finish.
After that use the unlocking guide.
That will keep your warranty intact since HTC will have no trace of your phone on their servers.
thats awesome! when was that released? i was hoping thered be a way to get around unlocking the bootloader.
is it possible to load custom roms or change cid with that or do you still need to unlock the bootloader for that?
deep search couldnt find my unlock code either, looks like ill try your method.

It came out sometime in September it just no one really knows about it around here (One S forums). I think you can change CID without unlocking the bootloader but I'm not sure. I know how to unlock the bootloader without using HTC dev also but I need to test a little more.
for some reason the rooting program isnt working. ive tried running it from cmd with admin rights, click 1, click restore my data on phone, it restarts for a few min script says its complete then it restarts and i dont have root. ive tried it 3 times now i dont know if im doing something wrong or what?
phone is in debug mode with allow 3rd party apps.
i also just noticed there is an error report ready on the phone. any ideas?

Strange I tried it today myself. I actually ran a RUU then the first thing I did was try it and it worked just fine. It added the app Super SU to my phone. That's root. Then right after I did it i checkd in adb shell and it dropped down to root no problem. My bootloader was still locked too.

From what I understand the way you get root is the script exploits a timed event in the adb backup/restore process. So maybe try it a couple times.

I saw everything you did before with your last One S I know you're competent at all this; so I'm sorry to ask but did you look for the super SU app everytime? You're on T-mobile US right?

My script looked exactly like that. The phone rebooted twice and it was done. If your used to seeing the "Super User" app and your looking for that it won't be there this uses the "Super SU" app. They do the same thing.

i wouldnt say im exactly competent but i know a bit lol. ive flashed different roms on my tf101 i bought used that was already unlocked, and i am a bit familiar with looking threw scripts and running commands from using linux but ive never actually rooted a phone. but yeah this seems like a fairly basic process, i doubt there is much i could be doing wrong here.
super su is not installed, and has not installed in any of the attempts that i have noticed.
my phone is locked on fido in canada. maybe this has something to do with it?
do you remember if your phone popped up with the htc error report when it was all done? maybe there is some kind of programming from fido interfering with the script and causing the phone to reboot?
also when the phone reboots the first time and it tries to copy everything. mine doesnt completely load the home screen. my background loads but there are no apps on the screen and the launcher bar at the bottom is missing. i can however pull down the top menu and load into settings.
on a side note, have you seen this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1913729 any idea if it would work with the one s?
i appreciate your help. theres probably not much you can help with but its nice to get some input from someone who knows more about this stuff. i posted on the forum page listing my problem so hopefully the developer of the script can figure something out.
hey l3ft3r1s were those errors posted in the script window or is there a log file that is exported somewhere? mine doesnt report any errors in the script window.

Script window.
As i see you get the "Backup-Restore.apk' does not exist" also, but this shouldn't be the problem, if you get the "Restore" prompt on the phone.

That won't be an option for anyone that hasn't downgraded their hboot though. I thought I was pretty sure that I had all this wrapped up and just needed to write instructions.
Do you guys have the HTC drivers installed? I'm sure I'll be able to figure it all out it just might take another day or two.

i wouldnt say im exactly competent but i know a bit lol. ive flashed different roms on my tf101 i bought used that was already unlocked, and i am a bit familiar with looking threw scripts and running commands from using linux but ive never actually rooted a phone. but yeah this seems like a fairly basic process, i doubt there is much i could be doing wrong here.
super su is not installed, and has not installed in any of the attempts that i have noticed.
my phone is locked on fido in canada. maybe this has something to do with it?
do you remember if your phone popped up with the htc error report when it was all done? maybe there is some kind of programming from fido interfering with the script and causing the phone to reboot?
also when the phone reboots the first time and it tries to copy everything. mine doesnt completely load the home screen. my background loads but there are no apps on the screen and the launcher bar at the bottom is missing. i can however pull down the top menu and load into settings.
on a side note, have you seen this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1913729 any idea if it would work with the one s?
i appreciate your help. theres probably not much you can help with but its nice to get some input from someone who knows more about this stuff. i posted on the forum page listing my problem so hopefully the developer of the script can figure something out.
hey l3ft3r1s were those errors posted in the script window or is there a log file that is exported somewhere? mine doesnt report any errors in the script window.

Your carrier wouldn't matter. But it sounds like it created a problem with your stock ROM did I read that right? Also, it's my experience that the error report only shows up if you have the "security warning" flag in hboot and you are using a stock rom.
We can't depend on the Sprint HTC phone stuff that much. They have a SD card slot and we don't if you'd like to look else where then you want to look at the ATT HTC One X stuff. They use a modified version of the root exploit for their phone. I'm guessing that it worked for me becuase I had a lower hboot. I didn't think that would be an issue but it just might. I was going to test it tomorrow since if something goes wrong I know how to fix it. So you might want to hold off. But if you'd like I'll post the link.
If you guys move forward then you might get stuck having to unlock via HTC dev to restore. Which kinda defeats the point of trying all this. You might want to hold off another day or two.
yeah i have the drivers installed.
i dont really have an option at the moment, im not gonna unlock the bootloader just yet so ill go without . if you can figure it out thatd be wicked. i have a link to my ruu if you want to try it...

I think so. How do I confirm this? Either way I don't think this should be the problem, since I get a return to adb devices.
By the way, do all RUUs need downgraded hboot?

Easiest way is to just hit the button in the all in one toolkit. Not all RUU's need to downgrade the hboot. You can use an RUU that has a higher hboot (as long as your CID is compatable). So you can always use a RUU to upgrade but not to downgrade.

good luck... Again, I'm not optimistic, because of these 2 different problems.

Yeah I read that too. Have faith.
So a month or so ago I was having issues with my HTC U11 not letting my phone pair with my new Smart Watch. After much trouble shooting decided to do a factory reset. Afterwards found out that do to a glitch Google Backup's weren't going thru and now my phone won't ask for Anything other a PIN number that I don't know. Here is screen shot from Fastboot, phone responds to ADB commands but sadly bootloader is locked S-On and no way to turn on USB debugging or access Developer options from the locked state. I've been trying to flash RRU but so fare no joy all are either failing because they aren't signed or not the correct version. Anyone have any ideas?
I have already bought a new Oneplus Nord N10 and I have an HTC 10 CDMA unlocked and a HTC 10 Bolt CDMA unlocked, so I don't really need the phone... But I'm pissed that my prettiest one is currently bricked and I feel like I'm soooo close to fixing it, just need to find the Right combo... I'm even willing to pay a reasonable amount to anyone that helps get the think working lol I know it can be fixed I just can't figure it out.

I have a known good pie ruu that i use so if all else fails i could give u a download load link,, hth,,,
I'd gladly try it, I used the RUU decoder tool to extract the zips from the RUU that I should be the correct one. I was able to boot into RRU mode and flashed all the zips one at a time that but still no joy. The only error I had during the whole thing was on the first zip and I just flashed it again and it went though without an errors but after reboot it did the little android encryption thingy and then still FRP. if you have a good RUU I'm more than willing to try...

Another thing you could try if you havent already is go in to your stock recovery partition, there you can select factory reset just to see if that works, if you need help getting to the stock recovery just google it or ask here, also i will pm you with the ruu download link,, hth
Already did that lol I'm downloading the RUU now I'll let you know if that works thanks
JOY! phone fixed and unbricked! OMG hammered58 is a god!
