[Q] I need help please, completly lost....

Hi,
i've got a htc desire S and surprise, surprise i've run into another problem (most probably caused by me right now phone is in a state of "zombification" (freezes at boot screen, boots to hboot screen but loops back to hboot screen when choosing recovery or factory wipe)
I was running edymion v3.5 base release, with pdroid. but i noticed apps kept crashing/ force closing (facebook, default mail, youtube etc) bypassed most of these by reinstalling them or finding alternatives. few weeks later loads of the app started crashing, especially the camera (cashing limited to default and background apps). I decided that a reinstallation of endymion MIGHT fix this so i factory wiped using clockworkmod recovery and reflashed endymion + pdroid.
Alas, it froze on the HTC boot screen. this had happened before when i tried rooting and all..... so i did what i did before...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1728513
which failed cause the update kept stopping midway, so i pulled battery, and repeated a few times, tried using a RUU and a OTA
RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.47.401.4_Radio_20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199410_signed
and
OTA_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.8-2.10.401.5_release_225212pe4gpljm46wwfk8i
these failed as well, either stopped halfway or completed then freeze on HTC boot screen.
Phone is s-off from revolutionary, no clockworkmod now (thanks to multiple wipes) and i dont think it is rooted anymore....
here is data that may help

P.S. sry this was so lengthy, thought more details would help fix it quicker

is your device still recognized by adb? if YES then this should enable you flash a recovery through fastboot.
exert from 4ext touch thread which is what I'd recommend that you use.
Code:
There's a [URL="http://www.4ext.net/ddl/saga/recovery.zip"]direct download[/URL] for a version you can flash via fastboot.
Download this file
Unzip it
check md5sum of the included image file
attach device through USB to PC
flash through fastboot
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
I'd then suggest a full wipe and attempt to include a custom ROM

Thanks for replying, i was begining to lose hope
unfortunately it does not register with adb since it won't switch on. But it DOES register with fastboot, so i'm trying it right not. So far it has stopped moving at
c:\Users\ME\Desktop\adroid>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (6038 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.021s]
writing 'recovery'...
But i'll give it some time before trying again, will report back soon
update:
Soo, waited a while, then tried flashing again. stopped at the exact same spot (writing 'recovery')

If you manage to flash a recovery, search for guide to change your misc version. Then search for a guide to change your bootloader. There is one in my signature. Finally download a T-Mobile RUU since your phone is branded. Do not flash any other versions

thanks, can't seem to flash recovery though, stops and just stays at "writing recovery"

Getting stuck when trying to write one of the partitions is bad news.

lol yea, i've pretty much given up. trying to find some one who can fix it, buti guess i'll have to wait to get a new phone

In which case, you surely have nothing to loose sending the dead device in for warranty fix, best leave the battery out.

But my phone is properly connected, i tried europe ruu(no usb erros), but then i got cid error.

Ok, turn in bootloader and now no usb error, but now i'm getting bootloader error 140. Any suggestions?

It seems that you used an European unbranded RUU. To fix you have to create a goldcard, use the 1.47.401.4 RUU again to have a booting system, then change the main version and after that flash the TMOB RUU again

thanks, but now i got another problem, my phone turn only in bootloader(but i cant see it using adb devices). But i can choose fastboot and then i see my device using fastboot devices. So i'cant get card cid maybe there is another way to get goldcard?

Use this to get the CID
Then this to make the GoldCard

Big thanks to amidabuddha. Finally i flashed 1.47.401.4 RUU(phone is booting fine), so how i can change main version to install TMOB RUU?

Follow this guide.
When you are done I suggest to fill the offset 00000000 to 00000170 of your sdcard with zeroes (as it was before) because various users reported that running a device with a goldcard inside can cause issues.

Thanks for replying to my question Pal.
I've managed to figure out how to unlock, root, get SuperCid, relock, get another unlock token and then eventually get S_ OFF,, which wouldn't work until I relocked then unlocked again with a new bin file.
Once I had done all this I re flashed a new twrp recovery, then flashed a new rom from recovery, then gapps.. Still cant the find a vodafone stock rom I was on but as I now have S Off I guess that doesnt matter and I can flash the european latest rom if i want to.
Thank you for taking the time to help me Mate, I am Grateful.
Im still on 1.15 radio and I think I will try to flash that next with the 1.20 or higher version to see if it helps with my phone signal which is not very good

Hi,Yep tried that one still getting signed error.
Thanks for looking

You have to get an RUU according to your CID.Get into your bootloader (by pressing power + vol-) and when you see fastboot usb give the command fastboot getvar all.Then copy-paste everything here except your imei and serialno so we will be able to help you further. If you cannot find an RUU for your CID you have to S-OFF your device so you be able to change your cid. After that you can flash any RUU.
You probably have bootloop issues with custom roms because you are S-ON user and you have to flash mannually the kernel.Just extract the boot.img from the rom zip you flash from your recovery in the folder you have fastboot and then flash it from your bootloader by using the command fastboot flash boot boot.img.Then your custom Rom should be working. After that you can S-OFF your bootloader with runrummer or with juopunutbear as long as you have already unlocked your phone with HTC_dev.
** Also after S-OFF it would be nice to upgrade your radio to the latest. **

Thank you for your reply, I have run the ruu that you suggested in your first post but i'm still in a boot loop and being a ruu I do not know how to extract the boot image to flash it ( as this has stopped the boot loop problems in my previous phone). is there a boot.img available?
When i click on the link for 4ext you posted I cannot find the download link also can i flash 4ext being s-on
Looking forward to your reply.

in the ruu thread there is somewhere how to flash ruu manually
maybe from there you can locate the boot.img
about the recovery link i think you have to sign in in 4shared site
and yes you can flash 4ext while on S-ON as long as the bootloader is unlocked

Tried to convert to GPE, stuck in Fastboot

Hi,
A couple of weeks ago I got a new HTC One M8 Verizon from amazon. I bought it cause I wanted to covert it to GPE. After looking for some tutorials I decided to try the one described in this youtube video:
" How To: Convert HTC One M8 to Google Play Edition (5.0.1 Lollipop) with OTA Updates! " from MaowDroid - Since I'm a new user I can't post links, so I posted the video full name so you can look for it.
Later on I discovered I missed the " GSM Device (Not Sprint or Verizon) " legend in the video description. Very stupid of me! Anyway, everything went smooth until I flashed the image, then after restarting the device nothing happened and all I can do is to turn off the phone. If I choose HBOOT -> Recovery, the phone restarts. Same thing happens if I choose HBOOT -> Factory Reset.
Besides this video was not for my verizon device... I'm almost sure my second mistake was not to update the firmware before doing the whole process.. changing CID, ModelID and flashing the GPE image. I've been looking how to fix this but since I can't boot the OS I haven't been able to change the ModelID or CID, so whenever I've tried to flash a different image I get an error that says something about incorrect values, which from what I've learned in this process, its because those images are for different ModelID and CID values.
After that I asked for help in Android Forums ( http ://androidforums.com/threads/htc-one-m8-tried-to-convert-to-gpe-stuck-in-fastboot.931142/ ), where EarlyMon is being really nice and tried to help me resolve this issue. However it seems my problem is more difficult, so he suggested me to ask here so that we get more opinions to avoid making a fatal mistake. In summary, EarlyMon asked me to
1. flash recovery twrp-2.8.7.0-m8.img
2. Mount and Install ViperOneM8 4.3.0
Which I tried but at the end I get a Status 7 Error
-- Delete the spaces between "http:" and "//" --
http ://s13.postimg.org/4ktywhmzr/htconem8_Viper_One_M8_Error_Status7.jpg
Can you help me go to GPE or at least to Sense?
Any help will be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
A couple of weeks ago I got a new HTC One M8 Verizon from amazon. I bought it cause I wanted to covert it to GPE. After looking for some tutorials I decided to try the one described in this youtube video:
" How To: Convert HTC One M8 to Google Play Edition (5.0.1 Lollipop) with OTA Updates! " from MaowDroid - Since I'm a new user I can't post links, so I posted the video full name so you can look for it.
Later on I discovered I missed the " GSM Device (Not Sprint or Verizon) " legend in the video description. Very stupid of me! Anyway, everything went smooth until I flashed the image, then after restarting the device nothing happened and all I can do is to turn off the phone. If I choose HBOOT -> Recovery, the phone restarts. Same thing happens if I choose HBOOT -> Factory Reset.
Besides this video was not for my verizon device... I'm almost sure my second mistake was not to update the firmware before doing the whole process.. changing CID, ModelID and flashing the GPE image. I've been looking how to fix this but since I can't boot the OS I haven't been able to change the ModelID or CID, so whenever I've tried to flash a different image I get an error that says something about incorrect values, which from what I've learned in this process, its because those images are for different ModelID and CID values.
After that I asked for help in Android Forums ( http ://androidforums.com/threads/htc-one-m8-tried-to-convert-to-gpe-stuck-in-fastboot.931142/ ), where EarlyMon is being really nice and tried to help me resolve this issue. However it seems my problem is more difficult, so he suggested me to ask here so that we get more opinions to avoid making a fatal mistake. In summary, EarlyMon asked me to
1. flash recovery twrp-2.8.7.0-m8.img
2. Mount and Install ViperOneM8 4.3.0
Which I tried but at the end I get a Status 7 Error

Can you help me go to GPE or at least to Sense?
Any help will be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
PS.
This is my "fastboot getvar all" result and a picture of how fastboot looks when turning on or restarting the phone.

You can boot to hboot correct? First change CID back to Verizon, you can do this in hboot (bootloader)
fastboot devices (your device should be listed)
fastboot oem writecid VZW__001 (2 underscores)
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then try flashing the Verizon RUU

Hi,
Ok, but, maybe a dumb question but which S-OFF RUU version should I use (4.4.4, 4.4.3, 4.4.2 ) ?
Thanks for your help man!

Hi,
I just tried the 5.0.1 RUU.
First I changed the CID as instructed.
Then I renamed and copied the zip file to the SD as suggested in the ROM instructions.
Rebooted and choosed HBOOT, the ROM is detected but, after a few minutes I get a " Update Fail! " error.

Am I doing something wrong?

Honestly not too sure, hopefully someone more information than myself can chime in. Keep in mind this is just what I'd do. Anything you choose to do with your device is your choice.
maybe try changing cid to supercid
i think supercid will fix it

Hi,
I just changed to superCID, I just looked it up somewhere else cause I think yours was missing a 1.
So I changed my CID to superCID,
Rebooted and selected HBOOT.
I got the same error.

Hoperfully someone else may have some other ideas.
Thanks a lot for your help man!
