Hi guys, a little background :
I S-Off'd my Desire S a few weeks ago and installed/clicked gingerbread which i gather roots it?
One day my screen went blank randomly with just the notification bar showing up top. No buttons worked, couldn't turn it off etc.. so I did a battery pull. It then got stuck on the HTC screen, so I googled, tried clicking recovery/factory reset etc.. all while not really knowing what i was doing, but in the end it randomly loaded after a long wait.
Phew, or so I thought.
Now it constantly crashes, turns itself off, the camera doesn't work, force closes galore.. it's a mess. Figured the battery pull messed something up.
Searched a bit more and figured i should try and flash a ROM which might fix it and get it stable again.
Tried installing using 'download ROM' in Rommanager, it did all the installing and whatnot, but when it rebooted nothing had changed. Tried three times, same deal. Figure I should install a ROM via the SD card instead.
Found this forum and a relatively simple/safe guide :
I'm using the guide here : How to flash a perfect ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257731
The Rom is MIUI.
However, I'm only on step 2 : Format data. (Formatting /system was fine)
Clockworkmod says Formatting /data for about 5 minutes, then : Error formatting /data.
Help!
A big thanks in advance.
Spare yourself a lot of troubles - use RUU and start fresh...

Could be a faulty eMMC chip on the phones motherboard, these tend to break after a few bad battery pulls?
If installing a new ROM on the phone wont work and you get data format problems I would do as posted above. If this doesnt work I would suggest a faulty eMMC chip.

Is there a fairly easy to follow guide that includes every step on here?
According to the FAQ I might have a fried chip.. the e:Unable to mount errors.
Can I still save it with the RUU?
I'm clueless, and a fair few of the guides are not too noob friendly tbh, could you please point me in the direction of an easy to follow guide?
I wish I knew how deadly the battery pulls would be before hand, but when your phone is frozen and you can't power it off, it seems logical. Arrrghg.
Much appreciated.

Since you still can boot into your system you are good.
Download the RUU that is right for you from here. Connect your phone to the PC and run the RUU.exe. It will hadle everything automatically. Then you will be back to Stock. To go back to custom ROM:
1) use Revolutionary
2) no need of Gingerbreak since you will flash a rooted ROM
3) flash custom ROM from recovery

Ok, I have the RUU downloaded.
Should I just connect the USB cable to the phone while it's in ClockworkMod, HBOOT, or does it not matter?
Soooo.. plug in USB cable, run the RUU file in Windows.. should work?
Cheers again.

Cheers. Yep, I got no phone detected, check your USB cable etc.. / ERROR [170] USB CONNECTION ERROR
I can't get into the phone to go into settings and turn USB debugging on though As soon as I get it functioning to that degree I'm not using it for anything other than calls in case I break it again. sadly, I could have earlier before I tried flashing a new ROM. Hindsight eh?
All I can get is HBOOT/ClockworkMod.
Tried RUU with the HTC white screen on and also while in Clockwork Mod.
Anything else I could try?
Thanks.
Are you using windows?
If yes download HTC sync and instal it, could be a missing driver.

From the power menu in ClockworkMod reboot to bootloader (hboot) and with the volume key go to FASBOOT (then you should see "FASTBOOT USB"). Then run the RUU again. Let me know is it working please because I will leave my PC soon

If your intending on re-running revolutionary to S-OFF your device again then you must first de-install the program HTC SYNC from your PC, don't worry the drivers are left behind and there are all that you need.
This is already the 4th case that the "E: cannot open...." error is successfully solved. I am keeping track on all such posts constantly and in my opinion if we have some more evidences for solved errors of this kind it will be good to remove the "[solved]BRICKed: inside eMMC's dead..." thread to avoid stressing the users...
I think this is a mistake of a service technician that was too lazy to diagnose and just replaced the chip...and started a great panic in this forum
Could be true.
I personally think there where a few devices out there with an chip failure, but most of the reported faults where wrong classified and could have been solved other ways.
Maybe it would be good to write the conclusion at the overall section down, cause our device isn't the only affected.

I will write a "calming" thread besides the Guide that is in my signature or as a part of it, just waiting for more confirmations that generally the chip is not affected when there is an error. But it seems not much people are reading the guides they prefer to start a new thread...Anyway I have a friend that is working at a centre of a Mobile Operator for my country and according to him among the hundreds (!) Nokia's, Samsung's, etc., he got only one faulty HTC for repair for the last 2 years (and there is a practice to replace rather than repair as well)

Good point although hopefully any new user experiencing this problem for the first time will create a post in this forum and can get pointed in the right direction, or better still there's always the hope that they will look at the INDEX/GUIDES themselves and read some of the resources that have been made available for them to use.
Possibly create a list of most likely resolution strategies in a new thread so that they can be tried in order and I'll refer users to that in the section on eMMC issues at the bottom of the INDEX thread, where I've tried not to scare users into thinking that its all too late and its game over in the textual intro bit!

Yep. My "[GUIDE] Read this before going for eMMC replacement" is updated with the solutions that worked so far..
Update!
I've successfully unlocked my bootloader. Thankfully I have a Mac as well as a PC, so I used the Mac version of SuperCID (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1694478) and, after installing ADB, it worked like a charm and took maybe 60 seconds from start to finish.
-----
Greetings!
I just received my HOX this evening, though I did enough research beforehand to get me as far as I have come.
When I try to run the SuperCID bat file, I am given the following:
Restarting ADB
Pulling files
Checking files
Checking if patch can be applied
Cannot patch. Token "" must be either "[CWS__001]" or "[ROGER001]".
Aborting! Your device was not altered.
-----
Seeing as how there was nothing listed for the token other than the quotation marks, I ran fastboot getvar cid and was given "cid: CWS__001". Well, that's what SuperCID is supposedly looking for, but I can't get beyond that error.
Currently in charge mode, USB debugging on, rooted, etc.
I've done a couple hours worth of google and forum searches and while I found a number of helpful replies, none had the same issue where there was no Token listed within the quotation marks.
I'd appreciate any help I can get and I look forward to working with the Android community as I learn more! Hopefully I can start flashing ROMs soon, though I am itching to backup first.
Hey there, hopefully we'll be able to get your bootloader unlocked!
Sounds to me like a simple communication issue between your computer and the phone. Let me ask you one question. Are you using the factory supplied USB cable and have you disabled HTC Sync?
It seems your fastboot commands are working when run by themselves, maybe you could right click > edit the bat file and run the commands in the script one by one.
Before I go too far in with ideas, let's make sure all these are covered.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Let's see:
Cable is original factory supplied.
As for HTC Sync, this is the one thing I have been trying to figure out. I don't see anything in the processes dealing with HTC unless I load the manager software. I don't see anything sync related on the phone other than "Accounts and Sync", of which all are disabled.
Is there a specific way to disable HTC Sync? I searched for this earlier today and didn't find anything specific and there isn't anything alluding to it in the processes, as mentioned, unless I try to run it.
Thanks for the assistance.
Edit: Also, at least under Apps currently running on the phone, none listed deal with HTC Sync.
Edit 2: If I were to do it manually, would the directions here still be valid? Under "Step 2 - Change Device CID" and then scroll down to "Manual Method". It seems to match up with a lot of what is in the BAT file, but you have to do the hex editing yourself. http://androidninjas.com/how-tos/complete-att-rogers-htc-one-x-prep-guide/
Edit 2.1: Apparently the same instructions are http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678308
HTC sync runs on your computer and if you installed it it's always running in the background. Look down in the system tray and find htc sync and disable it.

Must've missed that.
Thanks for the replies everyone. Sorry about the slow response on my part as I just woke up.
Yes, I am rooted. Took a while and a number of tries and I ended up having to install Superuser.apk manually, but I confirmed root via terminal and su. It's noted in the first post.
As for HTC Sync. I've ensured that there are no processes running and nothing is in the taskbar.
So as of now, I can confirm I have the correct CID that an ATT HOX should have when I do a check in fastboot, but the SuperCID bat doesn't seem to recognize it and lists the token as blank.
I can try doing it manually, but I wanted to confirm the correct steps and I linked to two examples I found on doing it in my second post. Of course I would love to leave this as a last resort. I'm confident in my ability, but I am not above saying that I am nervous, as this is my first Android.
Edit 1: Note that I have HTC Sync Manager installed. Not HTC Sync, which is apparently for non HTC One Series phones? Either way, nothing I can see relating to it is running, be it a process or a taskbar item.
Update! I've successfully unlocked my bootloader. Thankfully I have a Mac as well as a PC, so I used the Mac version of SuperCID (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1694478) and, after installing ADB, it worked like a charm and took maybe 60 seconds from start to finish.
For whatever reason, the Windows version just wasn't communicating correctly. HTC Sync was definitely not the culprit and everything else was in order.
Now to find the right posts about what to do now that it is unlocked!
Unforunately I don't have a Mac I can run this on, and I am having the same issue
Can't get adb to list my device
I'm rooted. have followed all instructions from all other threads. everything is installed on my mac and Win7 machine. ADB still doesn't see my device
This thread is just to direct all the noobs into the right direction, related to root and flash new roms in the Inspire 4G.
[*]Rooting and reverting to stock
Due to the retirement of the Hack Kit, rooting methods have been reduced to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2168500
or if you are skilled in using adb and fastboot commands:
http://tau.shadowchild.nl/attn1/?cat=6
If you are still stuck and want to revert your phone back to out of the box, then use Marsdta's Guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396229
or Gene Poole's Tool (that will revert also S-OFF):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208507
[*]Flashing a Custom Rom
To flash a custom rom you need to be rooted and S-OFF (if u used the Hack Kit) or have and unlocked bootloader using HTCDEV tool (wich I don't suggest)
Once u are S-OFF and have CWM or some other custom recovery installed (I personally prefer 4ext) you have to follow these steps (read the dev's thread about particularities. This is just a general guide on how to do it):
Download the custom rom .zip file and put it in your sdcard. Make sure that u check md5sum first just to avoid bootloops.
Reboot phone in recovery. There are many ways to do that, the first can be using Rom Manager (I don't suggest using it for anything else but that) and choosing reboot in recovery option. The second way is to boot in bootloader (press power down and reboot choosing hboot) or just turn phone off and power it up pressing power and volume down. And the last is to use adb commands. Plug the phone as charge only with usb debugging on, open a cmd as admin or terminal as root in your PC and then type adb reboot recovery.
Once in recovery, you need to do a full wipe (wipe data / factory reset and wipe cache + dalvik cache). You can also format some other partitions such as data and system, but the full wipe will work.
When full wipe is finished, go to flash zip from sdcard option, choose zip file and then flash that file.
Reboot the phone once it has finished flashing and wait for the device to fully reboot. The first boot will take a while (probably longer than usual) so don't get scared.
If you flashed a CM based rom, you need to flash google apps separately as well, so find the gapps file corresponding to your rom and flash it in the same manner as above described.
Trouble Shooting
Bootloops: If your phone repeats over and over the bootanimation, don't panic, you are not bricked. Something must have gotten wrong but you can reboot in recovery and re flash the rom as previously described. If bootloop is still there, then try downloading the zip again or choose a diffrent rom.
Factory Reset: If you factory reset the phone and you are not stock, then the phone won't have a rom...you will get stuck in the splash screen (white screen with the green HTC). Just do as described above, get a rom to the sdcard and then flash it. You are not bricked, you are just stuck
Well, this was just to try to point you in the right direction. If you think that I missed something, feel free to tell me and will add it to the OP.....Salud! :good:

To help your thread going however 'slightly' off topic it may be, but since you did mention adb, I finally managed to get apk multi tool and sdk manager installed, and with a slight hiccup getting the adb to recognize my device (I started all of this last night), I believe I have everything I need?
Now I need to learn what I can do with those.
All of this would have taken me half the time if I were 15 again

hahaha...ummmm you shouldn't have problems. Just install SDK and apk multi tool in the SDK>tools folder or somewhere else. Then from command prompt you should be able to run the commands for the apk multi tool. I use the apktool and I have no problem at all. The main thing is to have adb installed...but there's no need to have the phone plugged to use the apk tool.
In the case of your device, make sure that u have the HTC drivers installed, if you have HTC Sync, you should have them...to try that just plug the phone as charge only, make sure that usb debugging is on and then open a cmd as admin and type adb devices...you should see your HTCserialnumber....
I didn't know I didn't need to have the cell plugged in, nice to know.
I had done all of that and it was working.... IT WAS WORKING , I decided to move a few folders around, something got messed up, tried placing them where they were, still no go, it's not recognizing my device anymore.
Don't worry, I'll figure it out eventually, but the problem is my head is going to start hurting any minute now. I'll be back shortly to ask you something you mentioned and I've read which I simply don't get - well, maybe not as shortly as I would like.
Edit: whenever I run the adb devices command it has to be done withing the folder where the adb.exe is located, right?
2nd edit: found it and it's working.
To run the adb devices command, which means going to that specific folder, would be seperate from using the apk tool? Would have moving the folders around somehow messed up the way apk tool would work? Im not even sure if im asking the right question
3rd edit: when you said to install the apk tool and sdk in the same folder, well, I already installed both of them to the default location.... what do you mean by that? Should I move them if they are not there? And if I may ask why?

It would be more helpful to list the things you tried, instead of just saying "literally everything".
Does adb see the phone?
Did you try different USB ports or cables? Tried a different computer (if possible)?

I'm not sure by what you mean of "does adb see the phone?
If you mean if I open up device manager and it says "adb device", then no, adb does not see it.
I did try different USB cables, I'll try a different port now.
I do not have any access to any other computer at the moment, so no.
Thanks for your time, by the way.
Install HTC sync. It will install the drivers.

I cannot figure this **** out. Right now when I run the X-Factor exploit, it gets stuck at "daemon started succesfully". When I run the HTC Drivers.exe that come with Hasoon2000's All in one kit, it doesn't even run. It does nothing.

Have you tried updating drivers manually? His toolkit did thesame to me but I just went to:
Right click Computer -> Manage -> driver manager
and updated my drivers from there.
EDIT: Try the post above mine, before this. I didn't even think of that, HTC Sync will install that latest drivers.
Aldo, this is technically a question so it shouldn't be here. It should be in Q&A
The problem is almost certainly the HTC drivers. Otherwise your computer won't see the phone.
You have to do this with just about every new device you root, unless you're staying with the same manufacturer.

I installed HTC Sync and used their drivers, and Im still met with the failed CID thing.
Ughhh I'm so frustrated.
Where it says failed before where it says authorize backup, are you hitting the restore option on your phone when it shows up and prompted?

Yes, I am.
I'm following a video tutorial step by step and I still get these errors.

Do you have the international version of the phone, or the US version?
it WILL work using the X-factor exploit.
Three main steps:
1.) Download SYNC to ensure latest drivers here
2.) make sure to RIGHT CLICK and RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR (that took me f'in 27 minutes to realize)
3.) follow all on screen instructions.

Yep. Same error. Failed on CID thing.

Hmm... I'm assuming you're on the 2.20 right?
Edit: We'll get down to the bottom of this and get him rooted.

Also, ensure your usb debugging is ON.

Check to make sure your use debugging is on, try it. If that doesn't work... I would like to see the prompt. May have to do this through teamviewer.
Drivers may be the problem. I didn't have quite the same problem he is having( fastboot and adb didn't wont to see my device.) Spent 3 days trying to fiqure it out. Finally I gave up and installed Mac Os X on vmware and ran the mac version of x-factor and then I had no problems. You might want to try that. It was the only thing that worked for me. Htc sync, pda net, and reinstalling the driver never helped me. No matter what I did I never could get windows to see my device.
Could some one please help me with Moonshine S-Off process. I have been trying for 3 days now with no luck to s-off. I have checked that my firmware version is correct and i have followed the instructions explicitly. Every time ending with the same results error and please read
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the reply. Sorry I should have been more specific. My phone has the latest t-mobile us update firmware version 3.14.531.11 i'm running the stock t-mobile rom. Bootloader is unlocked using htc dev
Steps; I uninstalled sync from my computer and extracted moonshine in the same folder where i have adb, fastboot installed. I tested adb commands to ensure the computer could communicate with the phone then I ran the distiller.exe and i can only get just past where it checks for updates (which is does successfully) then it fails. I read somewhere in a forum to freeze htc sync on the phone and i have tried this with still no luck. I have even tried deleting the apk with no result. I'm not sure what i am doing wrong but obviously something as others seem to have no problems. I have tried this on two different computers now with the same result.
Thanks again for your help
HTC Sync is the biggest obstacle. What step are you failing. There are 3 steps for testing. I could not get past 2nd and finally decided to tun in Linux. I had installed Linux Mint v14 on second hd but do not use much. It come handy this time. Went trough with no errors. The Ubuntu have program called "wubi" (I think) that will let you install linux alone with windows. You can uninstall latter as any programs. The moonshine web site have version for linux. Some users experience success in Windows by freezing the Sync. Unfortunately, you can not uninstall without being s=off.
In developer section, there is moonshine thread. See if you can get more info there.
One of the very first things that moonshine checks for is to verify that USB debugging is turned On. I see that you have tested the adb but just wanted to make sure that the USB debugging it active.

I am sure USB debugging is active but i cannot even get to the steps everyone speaks of. When I get home i have a linux machine set up i will try. Thanks for all your help.
This looks like a good place for my question.. I'm running moonshine and I love it. I'm just wondering for future reference, will I need to take any additional special steps before returning to stock via RUU. I already know about stock recovery and kernels and what not, just wondering if i will need to do anything specifically with moonshine before reverting to stock. Thanks!
