Never done anything with a Desire S before, so not sure what I need to do...
I have a Y Cable if that helps haha

i think you need a gold card, try reading this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1523160

ok, still going to need some help here....
The phone will NOT boot at all etc, and I cant get the CID to create a gold card.
And even if I DID create a gold card, how would I go about flashing when the phone only goes to the above screens shown?????
Anyone fancy taking me step by step in exactly what I need to do?

HELP! Jtag (HJTAG and NoIce) On HTC Touch ELF GSM

Hey,
First off, I am not sure if I am looking in the right place, but I have searched forums, google etc, and I have not found anything that is able to help me with this.
I am currently working on JTAGing a HTC Touch ELF - I don't know the devices history, and I am beginning to fear that it is beyond my help. I have started a thread in the HTC Touch Elf section (link in my signature) that I have been using to learn JTAG, and also, inspired someone to fix there dead phone
However, there's sailed through, and mine is being a bit reluctant to want to work.
I have the below issues, and wondered if any of you nice people may be able to help, or point me back on course.
"Okay, So today I have tried some more.
It has now picked my device up as:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The processor ID still doesn't match what I expected, however, I am getting closer to it at least!
However, I still get an error message in NoIce:
I have tried doing a hard/soft reset as you would on the phone, however, I am not getting any Joy. This is making me wonder even more if it is because of this phone is so dead.
I haven't yet opened the second device I have for JTAG, this is going to be my next step. I also have another JTAG wriggler I can use now, so I am going to give that a go too."
Please, if someone can help, feel free to PM, write back here, or on the thread in my signature, I really am stuck here.
Thanks in advance,
Stu
Anyone have any Ideas?

A bit to Newbie Here!

Hi Guys,
I am totally new to this Android stuff but I love it and would love to learn about it. I have just bought an HTC Magic (32A) which has a logo of TIM on it. It has firmware version 1.4 and the build number is 2.15.901.4.
What I want to do is upgrade my phone to the latest version of Android, and also have the Sense UI installed in it. But I do not know where to start or what to look for. Can somebody here, kindly, briefly describe how can I achieve my target or atleast point me in the right direction.
Regards,
Kamil Waheed

P.S you need to root it, flash the new radio, SPL and recovery and then flash a ROM of your choice which is for the new radio. (2.1 Sense ROMs for the new radio are better than those for the old one(3.22)
Thanks for your reply.
Yea, I know I should google it but googling didn't help a bit. I am a bit too confused right now.
I have found a few tutorials on how to root it.
After that, how to flash the new radio. Instead, I should ask, what is radio?
What is SPL and how to flash that?
What is recovery and how to flash that?
Which ROM should I flash to? Can you also give me a link to one?
I am sorry, but I know nothing about Android. A little more help would be appreciated.
It might help to read this first.

[Q] Amaze with mytouch rooting to achieve s-off

Can we use the mytouch 4g method to achieve s-off on the Amaze? I noticed it had the same ph85.img and want sure if it could only be used to get s-off then flash stock radio back. Our would that basically downgrade your? This may be a stupid question and I tried to Google or CDs the answer first.
Sent on Amaze 4g rooted. S-on
I dont believe the amaze has a method to achieve s-off yet, check the link below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1505252&highlight=s-off
Thank you. I saw that thread and read through most of them. I apologize for all the spelling errors and broken English on the start of the post. My phones autocorrect kicks in a little much. If I knew I could unbrick my phone (just in case) I would try it. Really want to start getting into Dev'ing and really see what this phone can do.
If someone can give me or knows a walk through to get me back on track, them I will try it
no luck
I tried this method and it didn't work. it gives me permission denied, even after I chmod 777 free. Can't get that access into it, even after running visionary. worth a shot. Still waiting patiently for fuses method.

Splash Screen

I made a new splash screen for the htc one sv. It is the screen you see when you first turn on your phone now you can change it.
Just put it on the root of your sd card and boot into HBOOT it will find it and ask if you want to install it.
For awesome instructions and more info on how to do this check out old.splatterhand's guide here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2212152
WARNING!!!
As with any modifying of system files anything can go wrong!!! Make a FULL BACKUP before using this. It does work for me and have been using it for a month with no problems. But i hold no responsibility if your phone bricks from this, your doing it at your own risk. So please know what you are doing and if you need help ask before not after you bricked your phone.
Change the boring splash screen with this one.

Thank you. I looked thru your index that you made (very well laid out have it booked marked) but i did not see the the original splash screen listed anywhere. Maybe i over looked it. But maybe you can grab it from the phone, i would of but couldn't figure out how to, so i just overwritten mine, would be nice in case some one wants to reinstall it for warranty purposes. I looked for hours to find the ADB code to save it but couldn't so i gave up on it and just bit the bullet and overwritten it.

Boot Loader Logs: Start Up Failed

The phone fell and now when I turn it on I get a black screen with the header titled 'Boot Loader Logs' with the following message.
Your device didn't start up successfully. Use the Software Assist on Computer to repair your device. Connect your device to the computer to get the Software Assist.
Funny thing is when I do plug it into the computer -- nothing happens.
The phone it self recognizes the usb is plugged in and nothing more.
No boot-able A/B slot -- don't know what that means. Basically, is there anyway i could get this up and going without removing everything on the device ?
Mnd you im a noob to all of this so please take it easy.
I'm open to everything.

I investigated more, I realized that there is only slot a, b does not recognize, but at the moment of completely formatting with the data, it does not start
