HTC ONE S amazing brick - HTC One S

this has to be the most stupid phone ever , ROOTING IS HARD AND IT WILL BRICK THE PHONE , FACTORY RESET FROM BOOTLOADER IS FOR NOTHING , RECOVERY DOES NOT WORK AND THE PHONE SUDDENLY PRACTICALLY IS DEAD
IT WILL COST ME ALMOST 200 DOLLARS TO RESSURECT IT !
I WILL SELL IT AFTER REPAIR AND I NEVER WANT A ANDOIR PHONE IN MY ENTIRE LIFE !

Rooting is hard and will brick the phone? Yeah... I dont even know what to say...
Dont blame the device because you are too stupid to follow instructions.
The ONLY operation that bricks the One S is downgrading the hboot.

Insert stupid person meme here... Anyways long story short if your to dumb to follow the simple instructions(including a program that will do everything for you) then why did you set out to root your phone? And if your done with android does that mean your going to be an apple fanboy? You'll surely brick your iPhone a lot quicker then you did your one s.

Well ofc your going to get flamed for posting then but just to be sure you bricked...
Will the phone power on to the htc boot screen?
Sure battery ain't dead? Try leave it on charge for a few hours in hboot and recovery phone doesn't charge

I started using this phone a few days ago and I've rooted ,unlocked bootloader, installed a custom Rom, downgraded hboot , and installed new radios without so much as a hiccup. Yes compared to a nexus it sucks but it's not that bad.

Man, thanks you for that informative and helpful thread! Now I know exactly what not to do to get the same brick as you did. Also I am sure that everyone checks xda before getting a phone. It could be someones first Android phone, and people who never used Android certainly know that one should look up their possibly next phone on xda and read posts like this...

This thread made me LOL. Man, get a symbian, you won't risk bricking that

[Q] URGENT! What does this mean? (CYANOGEN)

Apparently i somehow actually managed to install cyanogen, but now there's yet another issue. When the phone is started up, the first thing i see is a phone connected to a computer, and between the two is a warning sign. What in the world does this mean? Yes, i did plug in the USB cable.
It looks like this; (excuse my horrible use of Paint, but i'm lazy.)

I don't know what it's like to brick a device (thank god), but can you get into into recovery? If so, restore a backup and go to a stable CM7 build, if you weren't on one already.
And did you try unplugging your phone?

1. I don't think it's bricked. I'll try to reinstall the usb drivers.
2. Yes, i can go into recovery.
3. There isn't a stable CM7 build for the Galaxy Mini. The one i have is the latest unstable one. It should work though.
Oh. How fun. Now i've lost the ability to get into recovery. ****ing hope my girlfriend still has that warranty receipt. **** Cyanogen. I'm going to bed.

Since you know that the current Cyanogenmod is unstable , why do you even use it ?
And then now that you ****ed up your phone , all you do is complain .
The unstable versions are just meant for testing and if you install it it's at your own risk .
Besides , you never wonder how many devices want official CM support their phone so that they can taste the awesomeness .

Shouldn't be sorry just because the OP is being angry because he messed up something on his phone.
You say you cant get into recovery mode, but can you get it into download mode?
If so, flash an official firmware version, re-root, then go to your last cwm backup

WARNING : ROM Manager!!!

WARNING!!!
Don't use ROM Manager!!!!
It'll brick your phone!!!!
​
Don't even think of installing ROM Manager on your phone. All it's gonna do is brick your phone....
So my advice is, abstain from using ROM Manager until they officially support our phone.
Till then, use the unofficial port of Clockwork Recovery Mod by tj_style.
the complete package is also attached with this post.
DO NOT FLASH IT ON FROYO!!!
If you need any further assistance, please continue the discussion here.
Edit (17-8-12)
It seems like adityam533 has found a method to make ROM manager work on G-Fit.
For further details, go >>>here<<<
I didn't read this post and I used it. Now I can't switch my galaxy fit on. How can I repair it ? Help me please.
The only solution for this is to go to the service center and act like you don't know the "R" of Rooting...
Happy Flashing...
the phone is still in waranty.do you think they'll repair it for no money because it is in warranty ? sorry for my bad english.
depends
if the guy believes that you're innocent and you didn't flash any custom ROMs and that the phone was unrooted, you're safe
else, your warranty's voilated and you'll have to pay

I would go to Xda Home Page and click on "wiki". From there, select HTC Glacier, & then follow the downgrade guide. After successfully downgrading to Froyo, then (still in the wiki section), find the Ultimate S-off guide and follow it. You will use visionary to temp root, and gfree to get s-off, then visionary to perma root...at least that's what I did. It sounds complicated, but once you get all your files in place and installed on you pc & phone, it takes 10 minutes tops..
** First,I am all for rooting, and I am entirely comfortable doing it. However, if I were you, I would read some of peoples posts that have had issues, to make yourself familiar with the process, so that you might learn from what they did wrong. Just search the forums for downgrading..and rooting. Spend a couple hours reading, it is something I failed to do, and nearly messed up! It's only a suggestion, but it helps if you sorta understand what you are doing. I don't want you to brick your phone & think I talked you into jumping in too fast! Just realize that while I wouldn't hesitate to root a brand new one if I had it, THERE IS A CHANCE OF BRICKING YOUR DEVICE! **
Good Luck..

But not your exact phone model (SGH-T959W). Read a little more carefully next time. Though you might get flamed if you ask a question about it, it's better than bricking your phone. Next time try to make sure it IS for your phone before you flash.

[Q] Brick

Hello
Just a silly question. If i flash a Samsung ROM on my One X i would brick the phone but would it load the bootloader or recovery? Any way you can brick those and not recover the phone at all?
I'm asking because it never happened to me yet (hopefully won't)

Just a word of advice, dont flash roms for other phones on the htc one x, thats like putting a bugatti engine in a beater, Just doesnt work that way..I would not try this just to get into recovery or bootloader when you could do it just by holding down power+vol down..why would you want to make your phone an expensive paperweight?

Maybe he is getting another phone. Maybe he wants to "take one for the team" and experiment? If I had another phone, I would flash ICJ on one just to help out with the unbricking process.
Idk, it'd be more like a 225 slant six in a Corvette to me

It won't work. Either the flash would fail, or even if it did flash, the ROM would not work, since the hardware is different. Plus, the partitioning of the memory is different, so if it did flash, there is a high probability that hboot and recovery would be overwritten/corrupted, and leave you with a brick.
Simple rule: don't flash ROMs intended for other devices.
