HTC Inspire, soft bricked after trying to root - HTC Inspire 4G

Hello all! I've recently attempted to root my HTC Inspire 4G, during the proccess the root failed. Now whenever I try to boot my device I get the HTC logo then it slowly fades to black. I am able to load hboot but nothing else.. I can also connect via fastboot but it seems my phone isnt unlocked because I am unable to flash anything (I get a permission error) and I can not connect to it via adb.
I have been searching for an awnser for around a week, trying every fix I've seen and nothing seems to work. My HBOOT displays
Code:
ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-0.85.0024
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.03.02.26_M
eMMC-boot
Apr 12 2011,00:55:45
If anyone can point me in the right direction or help in anyway it would be greatly appreciated!
Side Note: I am running Linux (Ubuntu 12.10) and do not have access to a machine running Windows so I can't run any .exe excutables (I've tried things like RUU through Wine with no luck even after installing all prequisites)

I had a old copy of aahk from when I've rooted it before (I know ima get some remarks for this), diddn't realize the support for it was gone and used it like I did in the past thinking it would be the same (apparently my phone upgraded to gingerbread without telling me), it failed around the radio flash I believe (I can dig around my shell history if it would help to have that log).

Are you able to boot into recovery of any kind?

I can get into the hboot menu but when I click on recover, factory reset, or any boot I get the HTC logo and it just slowly fades away.

You shouldn't be using the Hack Kit as it has been retired and so have been all the files hosted in the dev site. However, your issue is detailed in the manual...read it carefully again and you will get the solution.

Yes I was unaware it was retired at the time I ran it, I'll look again in the manual when I get home tonight, thank you!

I just reread the manual word for word a couple of times, tried the solution it provided for this problem but all i get is
Code:
Error detecting HTC phone on USB connection.
Maybe my usb debugging got turned off? I'm up to trying any solution (not concerned at this point whether it gets rooted I just need my phone functional again)..

Can you use fastboot? If so, flash a recovery and then flash a ROM.

[Q] Help! Something went wrong while installing an RUU!

Hi, I was trying to unroot my desire S, I have been following the desire fanatics guide on youtube (Can't post the link - sorry)
And I got up to the point where I was running the RUU utility. It started and then It got to about 50% in and then said Error, please use the correct RUU utility. (I'm guessing I've downloaded the incorrect RUU file.
So now, when I turn the phone on it goes right into the white menu with all the stuff on HBOOT etc.. fastboot I think it is, and it says security warning.
I'm guessing Its wiped the data but no longer has an OS to boot into. I honestly don't think it is bricked but I have no clue what to do from now!
I got my phone from mobiles.co.uk (A carphone warehouse subsidiary) and it is on contract with T-mobile. The phone had no branding on it from T-mobile so I guess its unlocked.
However I downloaded the T-mobile UK RUU and ran that..
Any advice on what to do from here? I'm currently in the process of downloading The Saga_HTC _Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.11_M_release_177977_signed.exe
I don't even know if this will work because I can't get into any OS. I also read a lifehacker article and it said I can put a file onto the SD card and it will automatically run fixing the phone, making it better.
Please help me!
So far, I've tryed:
RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.11_M_release_177977_signed
and
RUU_Saga_TMO_UK_1.30.110.2_R_Radio_20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.11_M_release_180106_signed
But neither of these have worked, it gives me an error 140 saying I'm using the wrong version!
Can anybody tell me the correct version for an unlocked desire S bought in the UK from mobiles.co.uk?
Something that may of made this slightly more difficult for myself Is that While following the guide I followed, I used android flasher and flashed the bootloader included in the Revert to stock bundle kit thing, It was called engHBOOToverARX
I honestly have no Idea how I can fix this but Hopefully somebody else can!
can you tell me your current hboot version?
is your device detected by ADB?
if you have not set up ADB before read this below link
His device won't be detected by adb, only fastboot.
Run fastboot command "fastboot getvar all" and post the response.
Ok, this is what I get after fastboot getvar all:
Code:

And I have the ability to run adb commands but I don't know what command to use to check if its detecting my device, I type adb into cmd and loads of commands come up..
@imattacus
Okay you have a UK unbranded phone, I say this cause your CID is HTC__001 and your main version is 1.47.401.4.
So to fix you can either;
1) You can download this RUU (v1.47.401.4, hboot 0.98.0002) and run it from the PC.
Or
2) Change your main version (by getting shell root) then trying again with the 1.28.401.1 RUU. (but may be impossible since you can't get adb)
Option 1 is the easiest.
Same issue with Virgin Mobile RUU
Anyone got the correct RUU for me as I've got the same issue with a Virgin Mobile RUU. I followed the instructions for unrooting here. I was using the Virgin Mobile RUU listed on the link provided which was this list but I keep on getting error 140 when I run the RUU, telling me to use the correct one.
My bootloader is as follows:
SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-0.98.0000
RADIO-38.03.02.15_M
eMMC-boot
I just need to find the right RUU version.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and as soon as possible.
Thanks
Just use Goldcard and try 1.47.401.4 again.
I also have a few problems with my Desire-S:
-my android email app keeps crashing when i try to open any email;
-official update aborts instalation (system 7) (even after hard reset).
So i decided to try fixing this via RUU. My phone is unbranded (bought in Slovenia's Vodafone), unrooted:
-android 2.3.3
-Sense 2.1
-Build 1.47.401.4
-Boot says: Saga PVT Ship S-on RL, Hbroot 0.98.0002, radio 3805.06.02.03_M
I tried to install:
-RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.9_Radio_20.4801.30. 0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_234765_signed.exe
Every time i get an error 131- customer id error and message, that the ruu is wrong...
So i tried with the older one:
-RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.47.401.4_Radio_20.28I.30.085 AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199410_signed.exe
And i keep getting error 140.
And i'm stuck here. Any help? I'd like to put on 2.3.5 with sense 3 without that email bug.... and i'm considering taking it to the repair service...
Thank You
i had in a way similar problem with imattacus...
only i can't run adb commands (adb devices returns no value)
i tried folowing ruu-s:
RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.5_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_219480_signed

RUU's installed, but after boot phone was stuck in white screen with green htc.
after i installed this RUU my phone booted:
RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.47.401.4_Radio_20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199410_signed

Goldcard
Sent from my HTC Desire S
I have installed ruu with the gold card, but I did removed it before update... Will try again and post back. Thank you very much for quick response!
>>>>>update...
Unfortunately, with gold card everything went same as before...
When i download and run update, phone reboots into update screen with progress bar, then reboots to update screen with same bar, then reboots to update screen without progress bar, then reboots and stays stuck on white screen...
i guess i have to find a way to unroot and s-on my device to the stock values before i try to update again...
my fastboot screen reads:
SAGA PVT SHIP S-OFF RL

One more curious thing..
When i install RUU ver 1.47.401.4 (only i'm able to boot so far) image version that i overwrite (visible from RUU install screen) is 13.10.401.8... A bit large number, isn't it?
>>> FINAL UPDATE
SUCCESS!!!
as i suspected earlier, when i folowed first post on this topic i locked the phone, and then update worked.
have a nice day, everyone!

I think I bricked my HTC Sensation XE. Help :(

Hi
My new Phone was working fine until i decided to S Off and update the firmware. It crashed while updating the new released firmware.
First it would hang during at the beat sensation logo and i have read and tried all sort of firmware but havent been successfull.
I can get into fasboot and recovery that all. And i think i have locked the boot loader again.
I've been reading and downloading almost every rom.firmware etc for the past 14hrs
please find screenshot of fasboot. I would really appreciate if someone could guide me to get the phone back running
Thanks
Fred

Your phone is not bricked. do the following fastboot command:
fastboot getvar all
then copy the information here excluding IMEI and serial no.
Also copy out the text from your hboot into a post

No need to unlock the bootloader for flashing firmware.. Just get the 3.33 universal firmware and try it.. If the bootloader didn't found it then the below way
Copy the PG58IMG.zip file to the adb folder
Then these commands one by one
fastboot erase cache (if failed ignore it)
fastboot oem rebootRUU (black screen with silver htc)
fastboot flash zip PG58IMG.zip (post the output of this command if failed)
fastboot reboot-bootloader (reboots to bootloader)

Reflash the rom or change the rom and see.. Make sure you have downloaded the rom zip correctly by checking its md5 (possible to check that in 4EXT recovery )

RUU then
try ANY ICS RUU ..
run the RUU with phone connected from bootloader to pc (as you are SOFF and superCID any RUU will run)
EDIT: this guide will help you in getting more info regarding RUU

Hang on a minute...
First boot can sometimes take 5 minutes +
Are you SURE it is hanging/crashing?
Just try waiting. If you are flashing correct RUU and everything goes OK, ie is successful, then it simply HAS to boot (unless you have an internal fault.

Ok i will try again and wait longer. Is there a way to go back to the stock rom and firmware. i think when i had the phone it was on 1.17 firmware and 2.34 rom if i can remember
yes you need to download the original RUU and run it. It is a good idea to keep your RUU saved on your computer incase you ever need to use them. You will lose custom recovery when you run RUU if memory serves

I attempted to follow a procedure to flash a stock RUU, and it demanded relocking the bootloader so now it's relocked.
I can no longer boot it into recovery since relocking.
Now, when I attempt to install the RUU that I downloaded (RUU_Ville_U_TELUS_WWE_1.84.661.9_Radio_0.17.31501S.10_2_10.27.31501S.10L_release_265367_signed.exe) while in fastboot USB mode, the RUU software executes but fails at the first step with Error 170: USB Connection Error.
I am now at a loss. Any help much appreciated.
You need to recheck correct drivers , usb cable, and usb 2.0 ports only.

Extracting the update on windows, copying it to a mac and using openruu there worked.
I don't know how people put up with Windows 8 on a Surface. It gave me a lot of trouble today.
You have to use a real computer/laptop. Surface is not real computer - it is piss poor imitation. I got Gateway laptop with win8 and have no problems.
i had this too how i fixed it i unlocked the bootloader and the security warning tag went away and i flashed recovery and flashed a romi havent found a way to go back to stock after getting the security warning.
HTC One S 1.5Ghz Soft Bricked to!
I have the same issue. Mine is also ''Tampered'' and ''Relocked''. And nothing I do works
What I done so far!
Before tampering with the cellphone I took backup .img files of my ROM. I even took a manual ''Copy everything on the cellphone to my PC'' in case this would happen. So....
I have installed Universal ADB Drivers, JDK for Java, Android Studio bundle, The HTC One Toolkit - Squabbi - 3.1.2 version. Not that it done any good so far.
The BIG problem is that the cellphone can't mount it's memory card. So I can't put any ROMS, FLASH FILES, .zips or anything on it. I failed at forcing data into the ''data'' folder to.
And when I try to flash a file directly using ''Fastboot'' the device hangs at ''Sending'' request. Other problems when working with the ''ADB commands'' gives me the ''Device not found'' response.
I downloaded the RUU for my device as a .zip as there's no existing .exe version to be found. With no luck flashing it I might say. Due to the constant hanging when the file is ''Sending''.
( This is the RUU I downloaded: OTA_Ville_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.16.401.8_1.11.50. 05.28_10.27.50.08L_release_301852xf01hejl416oev96. zip )
And for 2 days with applying fix after fix and trial and error I'm coming nowhere! I'm thinking on formatting the whole cellphone and copy my ''manual copy of my cellphone'' into the formatted cellphone drive.
In the bootloader this information can be seen:
*** TAMPERED ***

You need your CID (Country ID), you can get it from the the boot screen:
Press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button, and then press and hold the POWER button.
Wait for the screen with the three Android images to appear, and then release the POWER and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
The CID is the 2nd line.
Write down the HBOOT and Radio versions too.

OK so it seems that HTC__001 is HTC Europe. So you need any RUU that is same or newer with "HTC_Europe" in the RUU name.
So if you look here:

This one has the exact same radio.... hopefully this is it!

Phone won't boot up

HI Guys
So my mate's phone won't boot up and I'd really appreciate some assistance. The last thing I did was unlock the phone via htcdev. But that's all I could do. Now I can't flash a recovery (I've tried a few) because I get an IMAGE UPDATE ERROR. I've also received a "SIGNATURE VERIFY FAIL" error.
Also, adb won't recognise my device but fastboot does.
What I'm trying to do is install a custom rom because my mate was complaining that his phone was slow and a bit laggy. I sold the phone to him in the first place so I've taken it upon myself to fix it.
Thanks guys, let me know if you need any further info.
CJ
First of all, we need some information about your phone.
I need : what kind(k2u, k2ul and so on)
Then what you have already done.
Then the other things (best of all you copy all information from your boot loader)
Edit: okay skript point 2 xD

With regards to what I have already done, I tried to flash TWRP recovery but I got an image update error.
Mhh do you flash the right TWRP?
And use fastboot flash recovery *recovery name*?
Do you have any data's to loose?
Kreumadragon
yeah I flashed a few different TWRPs and none of them worked.. if there is a specific one and if you have a link, I could try again?
nope i don't need any data to lose. I have removed the sd card. Thanks again.
Anyone? Still having no luck with this phone.
Please test (if you want) the cwm recovery. Link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37075457
If this doesn't work flash a ruu and try again
Kreumadragon
There is no RUU out which will work and also the cwm is outdated.
How did you flash recovery?
Use the one i recommended in my index thread. This should work on your hboot.
An other option is to get s off and flash it via pl**img.zip isn't it?
Kreumadragon
You need a working OS for S-off. Not sure if that is working here.
@Old
You have s off, haven't you?
And I get s off with hboot 2.21
Kreumadragon
I don't have One SV anymore.
Rumrunner works on hboot 2.21.
He says that he didn't have data's to loose
theoretically you can create an ........IMG.zip file with all files a ruu use, only the recovery is changed? Think I can make one but first want to read what you think(old)
Kreumadragon
As long as he is S-on you don't need to make anything.
Right now he can only flash signed firmware by HTC this way.
Okay, thx I don't know
Actually no ruu for any kind of k2ul?
Kreumadragon
Only one. And you must be S-off or on ICS to use that.
@CJ_
Do you have test old.s method?
If this doesn't work, you probably need SOff.
Kreumadragon
Hi old.splatterhand, to answer your question, I flashed the latest TWRP recovery (2.8. something) but I got the following IMAGE UPDATE ERROR. Will try the ones in your index and report back.
Thanks for your help guys.
Will try it now... If that doesn't work, how do I get S-Off when I can't do anything with the phone?
