I'm not that experienced in this new htc development stuff nowadays, because it's been long time I havent browsed forums closely. Anyways a friend has this One SL phone, and somehow it's bricked and asked me to help him repair it, because I owned htc phone before and was more experienced (which I doubt now).
Here's the problem i'm facing and hoping someone could point me to some information where to start from. Device is S-On and haven't been rooted or bootloader unlocked or any thing else, its totally stock with stock recovery and rom. After powering the phone it boots ok, but when I get to lockscreen and try to unlock it it gives me some errors like : com.android.settings has stopped and beneath that message is another one which is hard to read because this one getting all the time, Unfortunately, System UI has stopped.
I tried to hard reset from bootloader because I cant get to recovery from there it gives me a sign and not getting any recover. So I only did factory reset several times, and clear data but that doesn't fix anything. I got some pictures of the error and bootloader screen if that can help anyone to give me some more information.
Btw i'm trying to find out what is the stock rom for this phone but can't find out how to get that information from a non fully working system. If that is possible I would flash stock rom and see if it will fix the problem.
I wrote a lot of text but I wanted to clarify the situation in my way.
Here are the pictures I took:

You can unlock the device, flash a custom recovery and flash a stock rom.
If you are locked, you can do pretty nothing.
is the SIM card good?

Do you mean locked like Sim locked or bootloader locked? If you mean Sim locked it is sim unlocked accepts all sim cards. If you mean bootloader how to unlock it can you guide me.
russellvone : It was without sim card inside when I made picture that's why it shows Emergency only.
Bootloader unlocked.
Go to www.htcdev.com and follow the steps there.

Ok I followed the steps and get the bootloader unlocked It says ***UNLOCKED *** but under that I still have SHIP S-ON . Can I use any shipped rom to flash this device now or what should I do if you can help me out.
Now you have to flash custom recovery (TWRP recovery) with fastboot.
Look into my index thread, you can find a link to the newest TWRP there.

do you have the correct firmware installed? if unsure try reinstalling the correct version for the rom, it will be posted in the thread you got the rom from.
then re-flash the rom and see what happens.

I just install the rom ? Or i needto install super wipe to ?
Ok let me try it
your radio doesn't seem to be up to date. maybe that's it?
check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618
For your version of android revolution you need to flash the Firmware 3.32.401 (PG58IMG.zip file) and just follow the instructions in that thread.
Aside from that, don't know what would be causing the problem.
Good luck

for super cid follow the step4 of the thread im posting step by step (atleast now )
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
EDIT:
also you can flash the correct firmware without changing your cid
Here are the steps to do it
1.First follow the first 4 four sub steps (steps 1-4) of the STEP 4 in the guide to get the adb/fastboot setup
2. As you are unable to boot into your device you cant use adb but you can still use fastboot command as you can boot into bootloader
so once you booted into bootloader connect your device via usb to your computer and go to the path of your adb folder
and type "fastboot getvar cid" this sholud give you the cid of your phone
3.get the corresponding firmware file based on your cid from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21711154#post21711154
4.Now flash the PG58IMG.zip that you got but keeping the file in root of your sd card
For flashing ARHD follow this noob proof guide and follow steps accordingly

I'm pretty new to this stuff too....but come from a tech savvy background. At a minimum I always have a nandroid backup I can revert too.
Also, I keep a folder on SD called "upgrades" that I store ROMs, kernels, firmware, add ons, and titanium BU APK.
In each folder ill keep current and previous version I'm running, so if anything goes wrong I can always pull battery, reboot to recovery, and revert. Then if that doesn't work can always revert using nandroid too.
And have copy of superwipe on your SD too....hope that helps if you get it sorted out.
My phone now works thanks I was very scared :s but now I'm too happy

You at least have to be unlocked and rooted. You're obviously not rooted, yet.

you see i got the bootloader unlocked but still have s-on and the other thread says i can still flash custom rom with s-on still on but you still need to flash cwm on it and its not letting me

Have you pushed Superuser from a PC to the phone via USB? After that you can load CWM from ROM Manager.

Just being unlocked is not the same as being rooted. You need to be Unlocked AND rooted to install CWM through Root Manager. You're only half of that.

nope im having trouble doing that i need help on that part
With an unlocked bootloader I simply copy the fastboot and adb files, as well as whatever recovery image I want to flash and push the recovery via fastboot... however if you aren't confident in your skills with the command prompt or fastboot there is always the all-in-one toolkit for the MT4GS that can be downloaded from its own thread in the dev forums (I don't have the link handy but it seemed to work for me on my sister's mt4gs).
I'm having trouble flashing CWM from the market as well. I've rooted (or at least I think I have) via Hasooon2000's tool and the superuser icon shows up in my drawer but when I try to run it I'm never prompted with the usual permission request, just the permission error that OP posted. I am also unable to install anything like Busybox or ROM Toolbox. It seems like the root just wasn't properly set up but none of the methods I've found actually work. I have tried to redo the rooting process, but to no avail.
I flashed CWM from Hasoon200's tool too, and can boot into it, however when I try to take a backup it just goes to a screen with the CWM logo in it and doesn't do anything. I have to pull the battery to get it to reboot.
Never had this much trouble with rooting or flashing a recovery before, but if anyone can help I'd appreciate it.
I'd say do a flash of CWM via adb. Then install Superuser through CWM using a zipped Superuser. Worked flawlessly for me.

Are you using the trackpad to select things in recovery? All of my other phones used power while in recovery to select things but the doubleshot uses trackpad to select
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using Tapatalk 2
I'm of two different schools of thought here - my first thought is bad download of CWM... Honestly I'd just read up on fastboot flashing the recovery image and do that to ensure a good root. However as noted above the trackpad select did throw me off at first.
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using XDA
OK, it looks like I don't actually have S-Off and I've got the newer Hboot which, from what I can tell, prevents me from using this method and the only two ways to do this seem to involve either doing some crazy stuff with wires or flashing stuff without taking a backup first. Both of these methods make me very nervous, especially since as far as I can tell there is no way to use anything like Odin or RSD Lite with this phone to restore it in case something gets messed up.
If anyone has a way I can take a backup before flashing a ROM or, better yet, has a way to restore the phone completely in case something goes awry that would be awesome.
Update: Yeah, looks like it was the trackpad thing preventing me from doing this properly. Totally bizarre considering the fact that I was able to select things just fine using the volume buttons but when I hit power (which selects on most devices), it didn't work right.
Thanks for helping me get past this hurdle everyone! Hopefully I can figure out how to get s-off.
Edit: Update - I flashed a ROM that already had root and now that works too. Good enough for now, I'll wait for a less scarey method to get S-off. I'm not about to start messing around with wires.
Hi all, having a problem rooting my inspire 4g, when in Fastboot , it shows the phone is S-OFF but I have no root access.
I used the root checker app, and it says that my device is not rooted. I then used EasyAceRootTool, but when I select to root
my device, it says that ''the hboot needs to be updated'' and it then starts a download from HTCDEV. I have tried using this software
several times but my device is still not rooted.

I think it may also be worth mentioning that it was previously rooted but, got stuck on the white HTC screen and I had to flash the stock kernel

Kenneth, if you are already S-OFF unlocking the bootlader will remove that. You just need to flash SU in CWM recovery and flash CWM first if you don't have a custom recovery. Choose flash CWM in the tool and then SU...you should be fine after that.

Hello there, I have a Sony xperia tipo (st21a) and I was hoping to flash on the JBMP5 Rom, I think I rooted with unlock tool (cause I still have it on my PC)
I also installed a custom recovery (well I tried this first before I tried to boot into recovery, now I think this is where my problem lies) and with that custom recovery I think came up with an install error.

The recovery is being replaced. To fix this you will lose all personal data on the phone and you have to erase userdata. There are other ways as well.
To get around this, flash system img and right after flash recovery twrp and in the same sequence don't reboot phone but boot in via flash -c boot to the same recovery. Delete the cache. dalvik and userdata and it should make TWRP stick. This is not really a TWRP issue and will do the same with any recovery.
Help solve the problem with Blu Grand m
Generally does not turn on, when charging is connected, only 0.4 is given then 0, and from time to time the screen with the Blu logo is lit. I tried to flash the result did not give, what can it be?
Thanks for your help and the post, ironically when I reinstall the ROM is when the root access is removed. Do we we need a custom ROM?
