Hi,
Problem: my desire s is not Booting up!! {not even in recovery mode} it is S-off and rooted
Symptoms: if i try to boot up it just vibrates for 2-3 times and the Red Charge indicator light, turns on. if i try to hold down the volume key & press the on key then it vibrates for 2-3 times & the Green indicator light turn on. That's it!! it is stuck there... doesn't boot up or anything.
What might have happened last night!!:
1. i downloaded some games apk from different websites and installed those.
2. tried to update ROM manager but failed
3. suddenly the volume increase indication came up in my screen (without even touching the volume keys!!) this kept coming...then i decided to give it a restart...after restarting everything came back to normal
4. but again it started to show up this morning...so decided to restart it again...and thats it....it wont boot up again!!!
Guys please DO help me out!!
Thanx in advance
Hello
Attempt to put charge into the phone by plugging it into the main charger.
Does the charge light come on when the phone is being charged?
Now download and Install the adb & fastboot onto your PC which you'll see in a link in my signature. Ensure that you have HTC drivers on you PC if not also download and install the link in my signature.
Plug phone into PC by USB cable.
Then fire up a CMD on your PC, go to directory where adb is and issue the command
Code:
[B][COLOR="Blue"]adb devices[/COLOR][/B]
?
whats the response?
thanx for the reply bro...
if i enter "adb devices" it shows:
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
list of devices attached
C:\android-win-tools>
Now what shall i do???...please help me out...i m very novice in this matter <to be mentioned that... i had a given factory reset before this!!>
After startup and the two vibrates, what's on the screen?
were you forced to pull the battery at any point?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
after the vibration the screen doesn't show anything!! its just pitch dark...
yeah last night i had to pull the battery out as the Red light wont turn off!!
this isnt sounding good!
check out the link in bens signature regarding emmc chips...
The most unexpected happen right now!!!!
i installed the adb tools then plugged in my device to the pc..suddenly it booted up...everything seemed to work perfectly {though the volume increase notification was still bugging me!!!}.
So, i decided to give it a Factory default reset. i went to the settings & clicked the factory default button....it gave me a couple of warnings and wiped all the installed apps. then it started to restart again...!!! AND Here you go ....its stuck again!!!! Back to that old black screen & the red light!!!!!
Please tell me WHAT to do????? plz i m waiting...should i plug it out???
<if i try to boot into recovery mode...it vibrates 4 times the green lights turns on!!>

Very strange indeed, can you recall any part of the warnings?
Unless the phone semi-boots or can at least be recognised by adb (which yours doesn't) then you can use the HTC ROM utility to re-flash your phone)
Does sounds frightening like a hardware related issue, although it's difficult to tell as it appears to intermittently boot!?
The good thing is if it won't boot then hopefully the service centre won't be able to tell that you S-off'd so may well replace unit or motherboard for you under warranty.
bro ...i m really getting hopeless here!!!!
1. Can u plz tell me the steps if the adb recognizes my set or give me some links so that i can follow....

Yes that's good news.....Although I'm at work now so bit busy...
Try
Code:
adb reboot recovery
from the PC if it loads into recovery Good!
From recovery try to format the CACHE partition, write what happens?
I'd then say download a wipe script and a safe custom ROM and then load them onto your SD card, ie like LBC Mod v0.6.0
If no errors, then first flash the wipe ZIP file and then the LBC ROM ZIP file using the "install from sdcard/zip file options from your recovery....
Report back any errors...if you're not quite sure of any of the steps then ask questions....I'll check back later...
Nope...if i enter the command adb reboot recovery...its just vibrates twice and nothing comes on the screen (with the red light on).........!!
i guess i have go for RUU process

i just remembered one thing....couple of days ago i installed the FOTA updates...has that changed something in my S-OFF or Root????

I'm getting out of my depth here....As we don't know what version of ROm you're now running especially if you ran the OTA. There is a possibility that the OTA has removed your custom recovery, S-OFF and root. As as you can't see the HBOOT screen you can't confirm that you're even still S-OFF..
You could try to start to run an RUU as this might tell you want you current ROM version is......
But I'd wait for someone else to provide some more advice...as I don't know what the "recovery" next to your device serial number from adb devices quite means ( I assume it means that your device is in recovery)...
---------- Post added at 01:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:02 PM ----------
google adb yourself and see what safe options and commands of it you can use that will provide you with further information about your phone
hi...
Thanx to ALLAH...may b at last i have found the problem area.
it is the volume rocker!!! somehow the "+" side of the volume rocker is jammed so, whenever i try to boot the device it goes in a recovery mode!!!
But strangely though when I played with the volume buttons and they don't feel jammed at all, the vol. down button is clicking fine, doesn't feel stuck or anything. And if that wasn't bad enough, I tried turning my phone off and on, but when turning it on, it still thinks it's held down so it will only boot into recovery!!!
is there any solutions for it???

Well done in discovering the fault
But, I'm afraid that I don't know of any way to disable the buttons, without obviously dis-mantling the case from the unit (which is way over my head) ...
this maybe a daft question but have you tried the command
Code:
adb reboot
(not adb reboot recovery)?
if this does not work you may have to take your device to HTC
I have multiple problems so read on.
A couple weeks ago the computer stopped recognizing my verizon gnex that was rooted, unlocked and running jbsourcery 5.1 that it previously had no problems seeing. It still charges via wall and usb with original m-usb cable. I've tried numerous times to re-install the samsung driver on the computer with wug's toolkit with no luck. I've tried another samsung m-usb cable...no luck. My computer is new so no problems with usb ports (I've tried all of them) and have tried the ver 2.0 port. USB debugging is on and fastcharge is off.
My second and worst problem:
Yesterday in a fit of stupidity I restored one of my original backups ( I believe made with CWM recovery ) that turned out to be a stock. img and after restoring it OTA updated to stock JB. All my other backups were done with TWRP and it's no longer present on the phone. I tried installing BootUnlocker from play store but it says I have no root access and the phone won't flash either recovery so I'm stuck with only Fastboot ver. 9 that only wants to flash something from adb. I've exhausted my knowledge and eyes are crossed from reading forums.
I want to get back to full rooted or back to full stock.
It is still unlocked
I don't know if I can use something like Terminal Emulator for this or even how to use it.
If you know enough to see that I'm totally screwed...Please tell me! (I'm a big boy)
If you think you have a solution...You are a god!
If you need more info...I can provide it

Rom manager is on the phone but each time i try to reboot into recovery it does nothing. If I try to enter recovery through VOL up/dwn-Pwr it just goes to minimal fastboot that only gives me the option of installing from adb.

It wont flash recovery while in Rom manager but it says CWM and Twrp are both installed on phone.
First thing, I was serious about ur age,
Second to go into recovery mode see here.

Yes...but when I try to enter recovery all I get is the dead android icon with a red triangle on his chest. If i press vol/up and pwr button at this point it goes to the install from adb options in fastboot ver.9
And I'm being honest...I'm 50
First thing, see the second thing

Yes, I have a win xp laptop I tried connecting to also. No luck
Here is the rundown. I have the d 850 LG g3. Was planning on unrooting phone from towel root and rerooting it using towelroot once I found the mod I wanted. I have the latest version of twrp loaded as well. On my way home from work yesterday I was riding my motorcycle and listening to music, all the sudden the music stops so I pull over to see what happened and look to see that my phone has somehow opened twrp. I get home and try to reboot phone and it loads right back into twrp. I did a backup. Restarted phone to same results. I factory reset phone thinking that would work. NOPE. Straight back into twrp so I plug phone into computer to see what's on it. It appears all my games music LG backup etc is still there's why can't I get out of twrp. Could I have accidentally wiped everything while in my pocket? Can I fix this problem or do i now have a $500 paperweight? Please please folks out there in xda land help me out. I've got experience in rooting with my htc m7 so am familiar with this stuff. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Somehow your rom partition/system seems to be corrupted. If you want to try and save your data, Please copy the downloaded version of your current rom and dirty flash (flash without wipe) and try to get back into the system. If you do not have your rom in your internal memory, try adb sideload or try to copy it to your external SD card and install from there.
You can also try to copy your stuff over to the external SD card using the file manager in TWRP and then wipe and install your rom.
If none of these wor, you still can flash factory image by process defined in the this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-lg-g3/general/unroot-return-to-factory-stock-att-lg-g3-t2820827
I believe you can still rescue your phone. Please let us know how it went.
I tried flashing a ROM with gaps and rebooted and it still senT me back into TWRP.
Maybe his phone tried to download and install the OTA? Try this also if the above doesn't work. http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/fix-stuck-custom-recovery-trying-ota-t2907508

The rom is normally a zip file.
If you already tried to flash a rom (other than your current one) I suggest you try the "back to stock" thing that was referred in my last post. If you have all the drivers in place and do the process correctly (preferably from a Windows 7 laptop), Your phone will be burst back to life in no time.. Good luck..!!

That is exactly what you want. You are now in download mode. So please proceed to next step (i believe the next step is on the laptop).
But the firmware update hasn't even gotten to 1% yet and I don't know how to get back to download mode. I don't know if unplugging device and trying again will mess it up even more. Device manager didn't pop up on computer either

Device manager wont "pop up".. you need to pull it from control pannel. Once you confirmed/changed the port to 41, i believe you can pull the usb, wait for 5 sec and put in back in. Follow exactly as instructed in the thread and you should be fine.

Also firmware update starts after the "usb pull" and re-plug in.

Or use "adb sideload"...
Start recovery and press power+vol up, select update via ADB, then on computer enter "adb sideload update.zip" but replace update.zip with the actual filename.
Neither of the above methods work. I do not have any option to update from zip file in any of the menus available after starting with Pwr+Vol Down, and if I enter recovery mode itself I see the Android symbol and 'No Command' but the phone will not respond to Power+Vol Up, rather if these are held the phone will simply power down. Also when in recovery mode the phone will not respond to adb ( 'adb devices' list is null.) Adb does function normally on the same computer when the OS is running so no problem with the PC or drivers.
As noted above the phone is stock, meaning bootloader is still locked. Do I have to unlock the bootloader in order to apply the update? I would rather not do that.
TIA

Hold power, then quickly tap Vol Up to access the recovery menu, whole thing takes less than a second... it works. You can't press them both at the same time.

Yep, just did this earlier this morning. Hold power, tap vol up, release power.
Sadly I switched to an iPhone 6s that was given to me, I was patiently waiting for the MXPE update for the longest.
In fact, I was successfully running 7.0 Latin America version on T-Mobile back at the end of June, but when I switched to the Sprint 1 year free deal the ROM wasn't compatible.
I still plan to keep the MXPE but it is such a hassle to swap phones with Sprint. I miss that the most but could not pass up more reliable service for 1/10 the price (for a year).

Just a quick question as well. I've tried multiple times to update by applying the zip. Go to apply from SD card and nothing shows but ./..
I use volume up and down to see if I can go to the file and nothing happens.
I didn't rename the file and I have tried it with file in /sdcard and downloads.
Any help?
Carrier is Sprint and have December security patch if that matters.

Yes, I had the same problem. Your download directory is on your SD card and apparently the update file must be in internal memory (or at least your SD card cannot be formatted as a memory extension as mine was, and I didn't want to mess with swapping cards for the update because I has a lot of apps on the card.) I tried to find a directory in internal memory to place the file but didn't have write permission on a non-rooted phone. Solution was to use the adb sideload method described in post #4 and that worked well.
.
I received the notification on unlocked no carrier (backup for my note 5) I said I'm in said needed 910.7mb for install
OK download now said I didn't have enough space (had 3gb free) I freed up another 2gb and went to system update. Software up to date message what the ffffffffffffk lenovo?

First I flashed it with a regular Motorola recovery mode and didn't work . Then I tried with twrp, I left the bootloader unlock when I did the fastboot process. I have the stock marshmallow 6.0
I don't know what is the issue

If it was truly stock and on 18-16 firmware, it would have applied with stock recovery, been verified to work dozens, if not hundreds, of times... If it did not, then you need to look at the error messages from stock recovery as to what the problem is (hint, press and hold power and tap vol up then release to see the recovery logs).
TWRP is not an option here...

Hi all hope someone can help. My oneplus 1 was playing up a bit just lately so I thought I would give is a wipe and fresh install of a Sultan Rom that I had been using. Backed up using Titanium and Twrp to play it safe. Then like a complete novice (not the next stage up which is where I would put myself) I ticked all the check boxes and wiped. I now have no Operating System on the phone :crying: although I have a version of Twrp sitting on there.
So, off to google I trawled to find numerous posts threads and ways to get back up and running using fastboot, ADB sideloading etc. So after a day and a half of trying these methods and various images to download and flash I am no where near having a working phone.
I need help if one kind soul can help and walk me through the process of getting this phone back up and running.
Thanks for any help that comes this way.... Foz
TWRP is present, just copy paste a rom and gapps into the phone. Go into twrp, flash the rom and gapps and reboot.
Did you try this?
hi thanks for replying.
I've not been able to do as you suggest as the phone is not showing up in explorer where I copy/paste Rom/Gapps. The laptop is "seeing" the phone as there is an audible sound when it gets plugged into the USB socket and when using the fastboot command prompt, it throws a serial number at me. this is why I've tried to go down the ADB/Fastboot options of installing a Rom/IMG with no success
Install the drivers of ur phone on ur pc, download the stock rom cm13.1 from xda, and flash it.

Or the other option is, get otg drive. Put rom there and flash.
I'm not having any luck with the first suggestion you gave. Every image that i am trying to flash results in some kind of error. I've even tried to put the most up to date version of Twrp on (3.2.1-0-bacon) but I'm not getting any joy with that. Even though I can "talk" to the phone in Fastboot mode I'm getting no joy. I'm thinking of re installing all the ADB set up again just to make sure
Your second suggestion is not an option for me at the minute as i don't have the kit to try it.
Thanks for you input though.
Try using a OTG cable with a thumb drive

maybe I missed something but you have to connect your phone to the PC when it is in recovery mode (when OPO is turned off press and keep pressed vol down + power button until you see TWRP logo). The pc should see your phone as an external drive, then you can move a ROM and Gapps and flash with TWRP.

You're not missing anything, I don't think. The phone is booted up and the TWRP screen is on. The phone is connected to the laptop and I can hear an audible noise, but there is nothing in the explorer folders that looks like A001 which is what the phone usually looks like when plugged in. If it was I'd like to think it would be straight forward.

Any recommendations? never used one so I wouldn't want to get the wrong one or one that crap it only lasts 5 minutes. Thanks
EDIT... just ordered this cheap effort https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Micro-US...565007?hash=item3af91d86cf:g:y0MAAOSw6VRZ5mtz . Hopefully it will get me back up and running.
should be ok but if not try this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-Micro...475501&hash=item25bec575e8:g:z~YAAOSwPkJafy8v its what i buy
afternoon all. right, the postie has turned up with my thumb drive.Could someone advise as to the procedure to get me up and running?
Thanks Foz
ok ... I've now got an OS on the phone...
Thanks to all who have helped.
just as an add on to this thread in case someone has a similar problem.
The phone still wasn't running right and I hadn't installed Gapps so I decided to re flash and start again. Now when I booted into twrp to reflash, it couldn't read the files on the SD card in the thumb drive. I ended up having to re flash a different version of twrp on the phone which miraculously could see the files on the SD card which I installed. The issue I now have is that I don't think there is an area on the phone to store stuff. Whenever I take a pic the camera can't see or access the SD card. When the phone is connected to the laptop, there are no folders within explorer to view so I can't drag n drop files etc to the phone. any ideas/suggestions as to get this sorted?
Thanks in advance... Foz
OK we're sorted. After trying (nearly) every help guide with no luck, I found a similar problem on a YouTube video. In the comments, someone suggested trying to use a Bacon Root Toolkit by WugFresh. after a few minutes setting it up, I've have finally flashed 12.1-YOG4PAS3JL. It has given back my internal SD card. Going to do a back up in a moment and I'm off to flash a more recent ROM
I hope this info helps someone out.
Cheers all
