Yeah, i finally made it. I bought a TMO-DE One S (With S4 Processor) 5 Days ago, unlocked the Bootloader (HBoot 1.09), rooted and SuperCID´d it, installed CWM Touch and installed TrickDriod V8.0 incl. its Tweak Package. After that i installed another Radio and everything was fine. It could have been SO easy, but i just HAD to do more, and now its soft-bricked.
At all TrickDroid is a really good ROM, but i hated the thingy that it shows G symbol instead of H when getting HSPA speeds. So i decided to dump it and go for a 4.0.4 / Sense 4.1 Stock Rom without branding instead until a JB / Sense Rom comes out. And thats were the trouble started. i flashed the stock rom with CWM, installed the boot.img that came shipped with it and booted it up. I did a full wipe before flashing. It booted up, Sense Stock Background Image came on and it showed "Unfortunately Wiper App is closed" at the "Preparing phone storage" stage. After OK´ing that another Screen came up about some system service wouldnt respond (dont know the exact Text anymore) wich i could close or wait for it. No matter what i do, or if i do nothing, after ~20 seconds the phone crashes and restarts. After the first restart the phone only boots into a black screen but with the Android bar at the top is working with time, battery-charging and a warning smybol. But the Phone wont react to anything i do except for lockscreen button. When its "online" i can push files via adb to the internal SDCard so i thought it wouldnt be a big problem. i pushed ONE MaximuS V2.5 ROM to the SD Card, booted into CWM and installed it. then flashed the boot.img of it via fastboot and booted it up. but nothing happens. still black screen with bar on top and not reacting phone that reboots every 20 seconds. i allready tried full wipe, cache wipe, dalvik cache wipe and i dont really know what to do now.
A broken SD Partion cant be since i can push files via ADB to it and install them with CWM. But whatever i try to install every ROM boots only in this blackscreen. its clearly not hanging in bootloader, but in android itself. I dont really know what to do, and returning to my dealer is no option since Rooting, SuperCID´ing and flashing another ROM. You maybe have a Idea what to do now?
Peace
TK
PS: Sorry for my bad english, hope you can understand it
Edit: Okey, i got something. i formatted everything i could in CWM, and now (as its now supposed) it hangs in bootloader since no system is there for booting. The good thing is in CWM i get ADB Connection so i can still push files to the SDCard. Im now trying installing a ROM again. So at least i have a starting Point if it fails again
Edit 2: Okey, found it. The "Stock" ROM is broken, not my Phones Fault. and MaximuS just doesnt install right so nothing was changed. Installed TrickDroid again for testing and everything is fine again. Close this one...

Rooted my phone for the first time today following the noob proof guide in the development section, everything went fine.
Until I got to the last bit, flashing the ROM. It is stuck on the HyperSensation boot animation, and is boot-looping. I have re-booted to no avail.
I followed the guide to the letter, and have a back-up on CWM and a backup of my SD card on my PC. It was a previously completely unmodified sensation, and all i did was the stuff listed in the guide.
I have taken no action besides rebooting, I don't want to mess anything up...
Any help apprectiated
It's been quite a while since I played with root etc, but try and boot back into recovery and select 'Clear Dalvic cache' from the options. Then reboot and see if that helps.
I tried that, didn't work.. I've restored and I'll think I'll try and re flash it, see how it goes....
Still doing it after re-flash... will try another ROM...
Right, restored, reflashed, still didn't work. Removed SD card, formatted, cleared Davlic and fixed permissions and now it works!
Hi Guys, i'm having a similar problem.
i was running revolution HD ICS, and tried flashing Hypersenastion ICS.
it said it flashed sucessfully, but when i rebooted, i got stuck in a bootloop (as in i get the white htc screen, the hypersensation loading screen, then black, the the htc screen again).
ever since then i have been reformating my phone, clearing cache's, reflashing pretty much anything, but the only thing i have managed to change is:
when i go into adb and flash a system rom, which only results in it not booting at all and just staying on the white htc screen
then to make it more complicated, i read somewhere someone said to lock and unlock the Oem and not my Hboot screen says "RELOCKED"
can anyone help? or have i permanently bricked my phone?
Thanks
Did you guys flash the new Firmware? I believe you need the new firmware when flashing ICS roms...
Here's the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G with Beats
the short story- my htc inspire is frozen on white htc startup screen and wont go anywhere.
the long story- i got my htc inspire 4g stock (used) beginning of this summer. it was almost perfect except some annoying apps and features. so i successfully rooted it using advanced ace hack kit. it was great. but the battery life sucked and so did the speed. so i decided to flash to new rom so i can overclock and undervolt. i then backed up my rooted stock rom onto my sd card. i then installed android revolution 7.3 and overclocked to 1.5ghz and undervolted -50. it was great now, battery life was way better and phone was faster. it was almost perfect except one issue- every once in a while, it would randomly just shut down and restart, then get stuck in a bootloop displaying htc white screen then the beats audio, then repeating endlessly until i pull the battery. that solves it until it happens again randomly (not that often but still annoying losing my data) i tried different settings in setcpu and daemon tools and same problem.
i then decided its time to revert to stock rom and try a new rom and see the difference and if i like it more, ill keep it. so i loaded recovery from rom manager (because my power button dont work) and i wiped to factory default and did all the steps of clearing the cache and the dalvik cache, etc it said it did it fine. i clicked install from zip and chose dirty unicorns rom that i found on this site for my phone.
it said it installed without any problems. cool, i clear caches again and reboot.
but this is the wack part: when it restarts, it still loaded android revolution... all the data on internal memory was gone from wiping it and my superuser was gone. (rom manager stayed) i thought that was weird. i tried a couple more times and same thing. and then i put the backup i made of my stock rom before i flashed anything onto my sdcard-> rom manager-> backup.
but when i went to rom manager-> backup, my backup wasnt there. i then went to manage backups and restore. it said no backups found. i then thought maybe it has to do with superuser gone? i plugged in my phone and loaded ace. i noticed it had a load stock rom option on it. awesome, i clicked that, chose first one (htc inspire at&t) and it started doing its thing. but it said it had a problem downloading some package or something? it said it connected to th site fine but kept coming up with that error and a prompt saying "do you want to continue[y/n]" and i type y hit enter and same error. i tried another one but same error. oh well. i went back to menu and chose option 1 for rooting it, it did its thing with no errors. rebooted my phone. except now, its on htc start screen and wont go anywhere. its just forever stuck there. i did figure out just now that since my power button dont work, i could load hboot by taking out battery, and holding volume down while sliding battery in. but it wont go up and down on the menu with the volume keys. since my power button dont work i cant select one anyways but i should still be able to go up or down right?
well thats what happened and i feel like a retard.. if anyone might know whats wrong please help
ok i solved the issue after constant reading. i had to reformat my sdcard to fat32 and put stock pre rooted rom since i still had s-off. then it was just load hboot and it loaded files from sd card automaticly (took a moment, i thought it wasnt going to work) but it said found file (only file on the card now) and then accepted install. now im back to stock pre rooted rom. im so happy i didnt completely ruin my phone <3
im sorry for wasting everyones time. i should have read more before posting, as the thread that helped me solve this was on this site.

Hi.
I installed some dodgy app which required root access to operate (but it didn't even though I allowed it in SuperSu) and this is where my problems started.
First of all, I noticed each and every app I tried to run would immediately crash. That included system apps, such as the Settings app. At that stage I was left with only the launcher working and attempts to uninstall apps would also cause a crash. Even the shutdown menu was broken and the phone hung up so I was forced to reboot it by holding the power button for 10 seconds.
After that, the phone would no longer be able to boot, it was stuck in a boot loop, but recovery still worked (TWRP for that matter) so firstly I wiped the cache partitions (including dalvik cache) but that didn't help, as the phone still wouldn't boot. In this case there was only one thing left for me to try and that was the factory reset capability of TWRP which claimed to not even touch internal storage so I was fine with that and did the wipe.
Thankfully, the phone booted afterwards and it welcomed me with the first startup guide (the language selection dialog was really buggy but that's Huawei's fault) and the phone was seemingly ok, except that the whole internal storage had been wiped out but not only that - the external microsd card was empty as well! Could you believe that? I couldn't. TWRP promised not to touch internal storage and the external memory card wasn't even mentioned but why would it wipe it anyway?
That's for the story behind it, now for the actual problems I'm facing right now:
The stock remote app is gone
The boot animation has changed to a different one (now it's a silver "android" logo instead of the "honor" logo)
Battery usage stats are not available (see: http://i.cubeupload.com/BXCknW.png)
Sound quality from the built-in speaker seems noticeably worse
Hereby, I'm asking you guys to help me out with all of this.
The "remote app missing" problem could be solved by someone sharing their apk file with me, that's probably the simplest one to fix.
As for the boot animation, I have no clue as I don't even know what files are responsible for that.
The same for the battery stats problem, I'm already through a couple of full-charge-to-discharge cycles as well as wiping the cache partition, but the problem remains.
The sound quality probably has to do with the DTS sound enhancer. The config file for that is either "/cust/unicom/cn/xml/dolby_config.xml" or "/cust/unicomelectric/cn/xml/dolby_config.xml" and I'm asking you to upload these files somewhere so I can compare them with mine to see if anything is different.
The device I'm using is the H60-L02 variant running the B532 ROM.
Does the 3 buttons method erase internal storage as well? I've already set up quite some apps and having to do it again wouldn't be the most pleasant surprise. But at least in this case I could make some backups and whatnot...
Also, would it work if I flashed B535 straight away or does the 3 buttons method expect the same version which is already installed, in this case B532?

It will wipe internal storage. You can flash any *full* ROM as long as you're not moving up or down from kitkat-lolipop/marshmallow.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Okay, so I decided I'd do the whole thing today. I downloaded the full B535 ROM on my PC, backed up all the stuff I care about from the phone to the PC as well, and also I downloaded the MultiTool.
Though the MultiTool thread says this in bold red:
VirusPlus said:
EMUI 3.1 WARNING! Update over rooted or system modded in EMUI 3.1 gives a BRICK.
You have to restore system and REMOVE root before every update in EMUI 3.1 for now.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So I also fired up Titanium Backup in order to defrost all the frozen apps, which went fine, and then I wanted to unroot the phone but I've been unable to do so so far.
To unroot, I launch the SuperSU app, navigate to the "Settings" tab and select "Full unroot". The problem being, it just gets stuck on the screen saying "Uninstalling, please wait...". I don't know how long it usually takes to complete, so far I've waited for maybe 10 minutes and nothing seems to change. Should I care about that? Is that warning about updating rooted/modified EMUI 3.1 resulting in a brick still true?
Can I skip this step and just flash the stock recovery followed by the 3 buttons method?
EDIT:
After some trial and error with the multi tool and different recoveries, I was able to finally unroot. Next, I flashed the stock recovery for B532 and attempted to do the 3 buttons method, but it would say "Install failed. The update package does not exist" (could be because I'm doing the update from a USB flash drive as I don't have an micro sd card big enough to fit the package). So I rebooted the phone into system and used the Updater to perfrom a local update where it would let me pick the USB drive. It completed without errors and then rebooted into some kind of updater (black background and some bluish emui colors) where it also took some time to finish thankfully successfully. I can right now see the phone booting and for what it's worth, the boot animation is once again the good old "honor" logo and not that ugly silvery "android" one
And now it's "Optimizing system...". I really hope it finsishes successfully as it's already a bit late here and I wouldn't like the phone to be unusable tomorrow :laugh:
36% ready...
46% it's kind of fun to watch this, and now 49%
I'd like to thank @pudup once more for helping out, I'm not really that much into flashing recoveries, roms and all that myself. Without your help I would probably be too scared to try doing something on my own :crying:
86%, 89%, 95% and 100%. Aww, what a relief Good old stock lock screen and wallpaper.
Hello guys,
within the last days my phone got really slow, so I decided to reinstall my OS (cyanogenmod 11) + some "optimization Tools".
At first everything worked fine...but at some point I probably did a mistake because atm my phone just makes an unhealthy sound and restarts, usually at the sim card unlock screen after some seconds (ODIN and CWM work fine).
I used CWM to delete everything and reinstalled Cyanogenmod(because thats the only ROM I have on my phone and I cant copy anything on it) ...but nothing happened -> same OS, same Apps, same Setting...and same problem
Then i tried out ODIN3....it took around 20 minutes to install my stock rom....but NOTHING changed, still cyanogenmod, still WA installed, still userdata...
Am I missing permissions to delete the files on my phone or what is going on ?
Any suggestions on how to fix it with cwm or ODIN ?
Thanks in advance
Hope it's ok to push after 8 hours :c
Hello everyone!
This is my first post here, and I have a problem with my phone.
It is Highscreen Boost II (russian one, you didn't maybe even heard about it). Google for it...
The main problem is that the phone started to act strange one day. Example: I unlock the phone, start opening my apps (Fb, Insta, Viber...) and after a few minutes it just restarts by them self. I also tried to turn OFF the Internet connection, but all the same thing.
The phone is rooted, and it have CWM recovery. And here starts the funny part. XD
When I go to CWM, i go to factory reset, it all done right, it says "successful" on the, but what is the strange part, that it just takes like 5 sec. to do the "reset". When I press reboot system, it reboots the phone, but nothing even changes XD.
I also tried, flashing new ROM, it says that is all done, but when I restart the phone, it just came back on the previous state that it was before. The other funny thing is that, the phone keeps go back, on the same date (~20. February 2017). I fix it manually in the Date and Time settings. I also tried in CWM, to go to Mounts and Storage, and doin' from there format of the SYSTEM, and than flash the ROM, it flash it for 10 sec. Reboot and all the same stuff. I even tried Mount /System and than Format it, i tried to format everything, but without success. It just says the CWM that is done, and nothing else...
Than, i tried to flash the Stock Recovery (it can be flashed from the CWM), it says that it's flashed, than when i try to reboot the phone in the Recovery mod, again it comes back with the CWM, so in fact, nothing has changed in the end. I also connected the phone with the ADB connected to the PC, entered in Fastboot mod, Booted in the STOCK RECOVERY (live boot - to say...), using the commands in the terminal, it successfully boot up the stock recovery, than i tried to do the factory, cash and all usually necessary before flashing the Stock ROM, after that, i flashed the ROM (from the ZIP file, SD card...), again, it was very short time, saying that it was successfully installed, restarted the phone, and imagine it all works good
-\ Nah', just kidding, it is the same thing again, all the same, not even changed the Recovery, the ROM, nothing... I also tried flashing the Custom/Stock ROM thru the commands on the PC, it says DONE on the end, and all the same, nothing...
After all that, i decided to restore the phone with other ROM (to say) in the way to go to the DFU mod (pressing + and - and Power button together), so i enter the phone in Download mod (to say). In that way, once (2 years ago) i recovered my phone from Hard Brick, since i deleted the partitions and all that stuff....
Than, i decided to flash the ROM from the DFU tool (Innos Upgrade Tool) - from here i was following the instructions, and doing all like before. It is connected in the device manager, and detected as DFU android phone (something like that), as it should be. When i try to format the partitions, it just crashes, or when i try to flash the ROM, it went to 100%, and doin' nothin' I even tried to reboot, and all, all over the same thing...
I want to add, that, i remember that on that date ~20. February 2017 When it always return to that date/time over and over again, that on that day, i re-flashed the ROM, because my system started to crash from itself... So by flashing the ROM from CWM only, it works fine, and didn't lost any app, i mean didn't needed to install all apps that i am using...
*The phone is running fine if i don't use it non-stop, i mean if i start to go in my settings, and click too many times, it will just reboot and go back on that date/time state... I am using it only for calling and sending some SMS. Nothing else...
*My 70% of the apps, we're on the SD card moved, trough the Link2SD app (root), so i cannot uninstall the apps that are here, neither i put the SD card IN.... This doesn't matter. But another thing is that, if i for an example took a Photo, add contact in the phone book, send SMS, call someone, after restarting the phone that data/info/sms/photo is not there... It acts like it is in the cash memory, something like that... It just all looses and starts over again, from the same date, and time.
My opinion is that the phone, somehow... that the "NAND" memory chip is death (just an example)... Something like the BIOS CMOS battery on the PC's, that is dead, and cannot keep the changes, after rebooting the phone, so it goes back on that time when it was last time in "good condition".
I really don't need the phone anymore, but it would be nice for an backup option to have it fully functional.
I want to hear your opinions, did you ever met a problem like this before? If you did, what did you did/fixed it?
For me this is kinda funny, because i never had/saw a problem like this before. So i don't know should i cry or laugh around... XD
Thanks.
