[Q] desire s freezes in htc logo - HTC Desire S

Hi, I introduce myself, I'm Lorenzo from Italy, and I have come to you only after I've have tried to solve a problem with my Desire S.
I unfortunately found too late that the phone that I bought used had been modified with teh Revolutionary patch and when I
loaded an update downloaded from the official website from this moment the phone freezes on the screen HTC and goes no further.
I tried alone to search the web, using the various guides available to try to unlock the phone but with no success.
The current state is as follows:
the phone is S-ON
This is the state:
version: 0.5
version-bootloader:2.00.0002
version.baseband 3822.10.08.04_m
version-cpld: none
version-microp: none
version.main: 2.10.401.8
serialno:XXXXXXXXXXX
imei: XXXXXXXXXXX
product: saga
platform: HBOOT-7230
modelid: PG8810000
cidnum: HTC_E11
battery-status: good
battery-voltage: 4061V
partition-layout: Generic
securityn
build-mode: SHIP
boot-mode: FASTBOOT
commitno-bootloader: ebd3df7d
hbootpreupdate: 12
gencheckpt: 0
At this time I replaced Revolutionary with ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.1.5 as I would like to load ice cream.
I also tried to follow a post that explained how to restore the original software, but I believe that in the current state it is necessary to install
the sdk to work at a lower level.
Thanks in advance for the attention you will give to my post.

I think you forgot to flash the boot. img
Sent from my supercharged :tank:

I've tryed to flash differents boot.img and hboot.img ( original and non ) without success, in fact the action fails verification. Is the device to be switched at S-Off state? Thanks.

mine is S on and after flashing every rom i have flash the boot image and also the first boot taked about 5 to 7 minutes for me.
i thought my phone was bricked but it does take bit time in booting.
So flash with fastboot flash boot boot.img
that should help.

AW: [Q] desire s freezes in htc logo
Is the bootloader locked or unlocked?

When I switch on the devce with volume down pressed the first raw say *** UNLOCKED ***, I think this mean that bootloader is unlocked.

I having this kind of problem when the time OTA 2.3.6 come to Desire S but i have forgot i'm have using Revolution to unlock my phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1701137
this link did save my phone but i cant remember the HBoot inside this thread is the one at the end i'm using. That HBOOT can let us downgrade our HBOOT to 0.98 from 6.xx, i'm using that after downgrade the HBOOT and flash with official HBOOT 0.98 then flash HTC Official gingerbread and when ICS release with official RUU i have upgrade it to ICS. good luck

I need assistance on how to get back to my stock Gingerbread ROM. HTC Sensation XE

I have my HTC Sensation XE which has originally the 2.3.4 Gingerbread.
I would like to have an assistance on how to do it?
Do I need to flash specific firmwares? Where could I get it? and is it safe to use the backup I made before with that Gingerbread Rom?
Thank you.
I used SUPERCID method.. Therefore I'm not exactly sure whats my CID number and RUU but im pretty sure its either HTC__038 or HTC__044 asia or wwe_asia.
If it helps , I had some Starhub apps, Singtel or whatever, so I assume its more of an HTC__044 CID number?
Thank you.
If you did superCID you don't need to worry about which ruu you use. There is a stock GB ruu link in the s-on section of the sticky guide to everything in the dev forum.

OK, you can find your original cid by entering "getprop ro.cid" in terminal emulator.

I had changed my CID when i rooted mine i used supercid method and changed it to 11111111 i forgot my original ru. Im nt sure exactly too if its wwe_asia or asia but im sure its either of the two. I had Starhub app too so i have a premonition that it could be htc__044 or asiawwe singapore version.
Im confused lol. I Want to go back to my stock ruu and cid. Or least the cid so i could restore my backup if possible. Then if ever i ota update. Less prblems could be encountered.
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio
What are the steps I need to do?
Which to flash? any firmware?
THank you.
This is a prime example of making sure you check for the RUU BEFORE you flash anything new
Do what is said above and it will tell you your original CID. We can then see if we can find the RUU
Good luck. I just updated my xe to ics by simply reading a lot of posts on this site. And simply following all instructions.
At first tho, I mistakenly flashed sensation and not sensation xe. But again, found the correct files here on this site. All sorted and now have beats audio back, now with sense and ics latest.
So many helpful people here, so I hope you too get your fine sorted to the way you want yours. Although curious as to why you wanna go back to gb.
Surely ics is better?

hi guys, do you have any link for official Gingerbread RUU 1.73 with beats audio for sensation XE? i just turn my sensation XE to s-on and flash the RUU but i flashed a wrong ruu.thanks guys.i want to update my sensation XE to ics through system update
Are you S-ON again now? If so, you'll need to S-OFF before you can flash the XE RUU (which you can find here):
https://www.yousendit.com/download/M3BtWmd2YWJ6NE5qQTlVag
Its already 1111111 for my CID. Im planning to go back to stock gb so i can get the ota ics and try it out.

Yes my phone is s-on again, so how do I flash the ruu?and just s-off? No need to do rooting?thanks
Help ~ Loop boot
I was gonna revert to my stock Gingerbread 2.3.4, I was trying to achieve ICS 4.x and Cyanogen mod 9, but I n00bed it up and wound up in a boot loop. I've read several different tutorials and I gathered I need to flash back to Stock GB. Do I just need a link to a Stock GB that fits my CID?
CID = T-MOB010
No Super CID
No RUU
Thanks much

care to explain more what happened ?..it probably might be a small solution
small details would do ..
complete details present in the bootscreen (a screenshot would do too)
also
a complete output of the following command (except IMEI and serail number)

for RUU ..you need to connect the phone in bootloader to pc ..and then just double click on it ...that will do
one last try for flashing custom rom ..still not worked then go for RUU
btw what recovery you are using ?
if using cwm ...can you switch to 4EXT recovery ?
get the recovery image from the below db link (recovery.img inside the zip)
4EXT DB link
and flash it via fastboot
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
got to the recovery
4EXT->wipe|format->format all partitions except sdcard
then back to main menu ...and flash the rom (what ever custom rom you want)
then reboot and see..if it still stuck at boot logo
then extract the boot.img from the rom zip file
and flash it manually
fastboot flash boot boot.img
then reboot
still stuck ?
then reflash the firmware (be sure to check the md5 of the firmware you have downloaded)
still stuck?
then RUU
No-Go

So it wouldn't let me flash 4ext, it says: "cannot load 'recovery.img'" I didn't unzip it or even leave the zip in the root, I took only the recovery.img and left it in to sd root.
You said to flash the custom ROM, but this is my first attempt, and although I have downloaded CM9, the instructions I have read from other tutorials tell me I have to upgrade first to firmware 3.32, then to firmware 3.33, then I can install CM9, which will give me ICS/4.x Am I correct so far?
I don't even know if the 3.32 flash was a success (Do you?) since now I am in a boot loop. Could it be because I should have used the TMOUS instead of the non-TMOUS universal for 3.32? I picked the non-TMOUS because I didn't realize what TOUS stood for at the time, and the other link said universal (and the android-info had my cid/mid)
Also thanks for the RUU links, but I don't know what good the ICS will do if I don't have it yet. Those RUU's will do what exactly? Update to the latest ROM ? Also, is that for all roms or just 3rd party? Looking at the getvar log I sent you, I gather the 3.32 did work, So I should download the ICS 3.32 RUU link you sent me. That's what I am going to try now
EDIT
________________________________
I re-installed cm9, AND EUREKA!!!!!! My first custom ROM. Many thanks to all who helped! Now which RUU do I use, and how often should I run it?

RUU is rom update utility.. It's official htc file
Ruu is complete software for your phone
It wipes everything.. Rom, recovery firmware.. Everything and flashes the corresponding stock One...
So when you run ics ruu.. You will have complete ics stock rom of tmobile US
And the recovery flash you did earlier was wrong..
You need to keep that recovery file in the adb folder (it should be in pc) Then the command will fetch the file.. As you have kept it on top of sdcard.. It can't find it..

Hello!
Just got my hands on a desire S from someone who said they bricked it, i dont think it is though.
I can access fastboot/HBOOT but it doesnt seem to have a custom recovery installed, shows the stock recovery or download mode logo, the screen goes blank and vibrates 7 times.
Every time i try to flash anything through fastboot it gives me the error in the heading
FAILED (remote: not allowed)
The ROM just doesnt boot and shows T mobile logo indefinitely (must be a bootloop) but the phone doesnt have any Tmo logos on the body.

7 vibrations most likely mean overheating, and this can't be cured by any means.
The phone is S-OFF, but doesn't have Engineering HBOOT - so you can't use fastboot, it won't allow you (just what it says).
Your best bet is to try a stock RUU and see if it helps.
Download a PG88IMG.zip from an eng hboot, copy it to root of sd (cardreader), boot to bootloader and let it do his job.
Afterwards delete the zip boot to bootloader once more and flash a recovery with fastboot.
I would use a ruu only if those steps fail.

Do you know from which regions your phone is?
Try in fastboot : fastboot getvar all, and Google your main version then download the appropriate file from this link

Once you are sure you have the right RUU, you might have to make a goldcard to get rid of the CID error
The whole point of having "right" RUU is to avoid this error - having RUU for his specific region gets rid of CID error message. Otherwise he just needs any RUU and goldcard.

I have what seems to be the right RUU..
now when i try to install it, the RUU installer hangs and the phone also hangs.
I should reiterate that my phone DOES NOT BOOT into the rom, has what may be boot loop error. If i could access android i wouldnt be asking any of these questions as from in there all this is easy peasy!
i'm trying booting into Hboot and fastboot to install this. as far as i remember it doesnt work here so how else can i go about it?
once again, no custom recovery, no eng bootloader, no working android rom
Thanks to all of you who tried to help by the way

3 possibilities:
1. Let the ruu run without attached device till the only option is to close the program, search in your temp folder for the rom.zip, copy it to another folder, close the program, copy it to sd and try to flash it the same way you did before with the hboot (rename the rom.zip to PG88IMG.zip before you flash it)
2. Do the same like at 1. but create a goldcard before
3. Do the same I described before with hboot, but create a goldcard before
Swyped because PC is under full load or to far away
If the RUU installer hangs - your chances aren't too good.
If it hangs on "rebooting to bootloader" - boot to FASTBOOT manually and start RUU while in fastboot mode.
If it hangs updating - chances are you're another case of faulty eMMC.
gave the phone to some guy in the market. says he'll take 5£ to open it and check it out and let me know whats wrong.
the RUU rom.zip file when renamed to pg88img.zip or whatever does work as its the only zip file it detects in hboot mode,
it starts the update, heats up like an angry mountain and then sucks its battery off..
thanks you guys for all the help. I'll update you on what was the actual problem when this guy tells me so you know what these symptoms are for in future
Have you tried using the gold card? As it has already been stated that it should get rid of the wrong cid issue.

Can't flash JB roms on HTC One S C2

First of, a bunch of thanks to you for helping me get from a complete and utter noob to a just complete noob. Managed to root, install roms and get out of a LOT of soft bricks (i just don't give up!) with your awesome help, all by searching older posts. However, this time i find myself in a pickle.
I own an HTC One S C2 with Hboot 2.0.9, had stock ICS when i bought it with no option to update to JB (which is why i rooted it in the first place). Something about this particular version of the phone not being updated by HTC global, which i found out about after i bought it, duh. Anyway. I've tried installing JB roms from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2239265 with no luck. Phone just keeps getting into HTC logo screen loops. Right now i am on backtobasics v3 rom. Here's how i tried installing them JB roms and also the rom i am using right now (using TWRP 2.4.1 because newest version wouldn't work with backtobasics rom):
(note: some roms had sliiiightly different directions, i just followed each and every one's description closely)
1) Download Rom.zip
2) Extract boot.img from Rom.zip to fastboot folder
3) Enter Recovery
4) Mount SD card
5) Copy Rom.zip to SD card
6) Unmount
7) Wipe data, system, cache, dalvik cache and factory reset
8) Install Rom.zip
9) Reboot Bootloader
10) Go to fastboot USB mode
11) dem commands: fastboot flash boot boot.img then fastboot erase cache then fastboot reboot
12) BOOM! HTC LOGO LOOPS!
I've also tried installing a RUU but i couldn't find any for my CID. Then i thought about getting a SuperCID but, frankly, i scrached that thought the minute i saw the how to do it thread. Here's the phone info

Thank you, in advance, for any advice you may be able to provide me with
Mkay, since i got no answer i went back to searching again! Unfortunately, i still have no asolution to my problem
From what i understand i have to: find a RUU to get from android version 4.0.3 up to JB version. Then i will be able to flash JB roms. But there is no RUU for CID BSTAR301.
I did find a thread with nandroid backup for a BSTAR301 which updates the version without a RUU but it was for HTC One X, i guess i shouldn't use that at all.
I am thinking about doing a SuperCID to install a RUU, then get back to my actual CID and flash a custom JB rom..
Would appreciate any advice

Yes, in your case S-OFF, Changing CID to something which has a JB RUU would do the trick. I think SuperCID is not necessary.

Not yet.. So exhausted. I tried the moonshine method but, just like trhe instructions state, i should have JB and be on stock for it to work properly, which is not possible since my phone has a BSTAR301 CID and is stuck on 4.0.3 with no stock roms available.
From what i've read, my only hope of S-OFF is to wait for the fellas working on Revolutionary method for S-OFF to release the correct version for this phone. I just hope it's soon and I thank them for their efforts, i'm so disappointed at this phone

same here. I just wrote to them asking for that
S-OFF done
I did S-OFF already. Now i need to know what CID put in my phone?? and which RUU install on it??
My MID is: PJ4021000
so i don't know if the Europe RUU's work in my phone. Maybe the radio have problem or no?? because the RUU say MID version: PJ4020000. Someone knows about this??
I have heard that JB update for BSTAR is now available.

Be sure to match MID or you'll end up having problems with future updates.

You have to manually check the ANDROID-INFO.TXT to match CID + MID

First of, a bunch of thanks to you for helping me get from a complete and utter noob to a just complete noob. Managed to root, install roms and get out of a LOT of soft bricks (i just don't give up!) with your awesome help, all by searching older posts. However, this time i find myself in a pickle.
I own an HTC One S C2 with Hboot 2.0.9, had stock ICS when i bought it with no option to update to JB (which is why i rooted it in the first place). Something about this particular version of the phone not being updated by HTC global, which i found out about after i bought it, duh. Anyway.

Can you get into the bootloader? If you can, you can flash TWRP recovery via fastboot and flash a custom Rom with the recovery.
Yes

Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292432 . Read through and find the recovery there. It is pretty well explained there. I am on my mobile so I am not sure of the link will take you to the first page. It is on the first page. Make sure you get the correct recovery for your phone model.

You've already got the link to my index thread, but it seems you are to lazy to have a look at it. You even only need to watch for the software number and you will easily find what you are searching for.

You can't flash this in recovery. Use TWRP recovery and flash the rom (not the Ota). Links are in my index thread.
Installed rom
Sucessfully instaled Viper SV rom,

Did you also flash boot.img of the rom in fastboot?

You can't get S-off, without working OS.
You don't have an OS anymore on your phone?
Are you running a custom recovery like TWRP?
Run this fastboot cmd and copy the output here (remove your imei & serial number):
Code:
fastboot getvar all

I flashed TWRP and I make restore, but phone won't start anyway. Maybe need to flash new os?
Flash the stock rom in TWRP, and don't forget to flash boot.img of the rom in fastboot.
Links are in my index thread.
Make a backup in recovery (just in case) and a wipe (advanced -> everything except int & ext sdcard) before.

Something I make wrong. I flashed TWRP, then installed ViperSV, phone restarted and booted TWRP. Then I found boot.img in yours index thead.
Then in fastboot flashed new boot, but phone still booting in TWRP. What I make wrong?
You need to flash the boot.img thats inside the ViperSV.zip, not any from my index thread.

Hi there i tested these ROMS on mine HTC One S Ville S4 (International).

I´ve followed all steps but no luck, the phone reach splash screen and all i get is all 3 lights on the bottom and a green on the top illuminated.
LIBERTY ROM - The Sixth Element 4.4.2/4.4.3
Almost the same situation with Maximus Rom but with Black splash screen this time on the 2 versions of this Rom

you need a specific hboot to try the rom. i think is 2.15 and you have 1.13.. so..... i think that is the problem.
first of all you'd update all that is possible to lates ver. (hboot, recovery), may be you should try hboot 2.16 and roms for it...

You will need to update HBOOT to version 2.15 or 2.16 depending on which rom you want to install. HTC__304 is Europe/Spain so the Europe RUU should be fine for you. Its pretty easy:
Download FIRMWARE HBOOT 2.15
Extract the included recovery and flash it using fastboot:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Relock your bootloader (in case it's actually locked)
fastboot oem lock
Then flash the firmware215.zip:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware215.zip
fastboot flash zip firmware215.zip (First time you probably get an error, so just retype the command!!!)
fastboot reboot-bootloader (to get back into bootloader mode)

He's S-On, are you sure it'll work like this? Flashing firmware is not possible unless you're S-Off. He should first try to achieve S-Off via rumrunner or other method (since he's already using Viper or a close-to-stock ROM). Then he might try flashing 2.15/2.16 firmware

I'm glad you finally made it. HBOOT 2.16 works with S-OFF only, thats why I uploaded 2.15. As @Rapier mentioned earlier, you can use rumrunner.us for easily getting S-OFF
Mind you that hboot 2.16 gives you shared internal storage. E.g. all free space is available to all partitions. This may come tot be necessary for you if flashing lollipop roms since the "foot print" of installed aps on lollipop becomes much larger. This has to do with runtime environment... Kitkat runs with Dalvik Cache whereas Lollipop runs with the Android Runtime aka ART.
So, staying on hboot 2.15 give you the old partition layout with approx. 1 GByte(??) free for apps and 7 as internal SD.
While hboot 2.16 serves all your free internal storage to all partitions. This saves you headache of internal space for apps running out.
(Someone may deel to fill in the technical gaps i left in)
Cheers , happy hboot 2.16 user.
