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...

AND Here you go ....its stuck again!!!! Back to that old black screen & the red light!!!!!

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....
2. Or tell me the steps to use RUU to flash my set

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'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
Guys, i flashed the GoApk ROM 2.3.5 with Sense 3.0 and everything was fine. Today, i flashed the new Unity v9 kernel after wiping Dalvik cache and rebooted, but now my phone has been stuck at the wite HTC screen for the past 1 hour. The three button reset is not working, neither is the adbreboot recovery command as adb does not detect my device. Please help... I do not want to pull the battery and fry my eMMC.
EDIT: Got into the recovery and restored nandroid backup. Back up and running now. Thanks everybody for their contribution.

Look in my signature for various links...
Download and extract the adb & fastboot into a directory on your PC. Ensure that you have HTC drivers installed on you PC if not also download and install the link in my signature.
Then fire up a CMD on your PC, go to directory where adb is and issue the command
Code:
[B][COLOR="Blue"]adb reboot recovery[/COLOR][/B]
which should take you into recovery, where you'll be able to reflash or restore a nandroid backup from.
What's your hboot.
It's a most recent 2.00.2002
or the older ?
I think it got updated to the most recent one when i flashed the ROM. I tried everything you have suggested. Nothing works...
---------- Post added at 08:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:16 PM ----------
I'm just waiting for the battery to run out so it powers off and then i'll try to boot into recovery again. I thought Unity kernels were compatible with sense roms. Please can anybody help me out here?
No, the newest hboot must be flashed alone.
It's not included in the rom.
You can find it on this thread: GUIDE: new hboot 2.00.2002 for sense3.0 adnroid 2.3.5
it's a solution maybe
Maybe you have new .2 hboot and kernel is not compatible ?

So then what should i do now? Will i ever be able to boot into recovery? I have ClockWorkMod recovery.
i dont think that install kernel kill your phone. if you can't access adb or anything you have no other chance as pull the battery.
if something like this me happen,
- i pull battery
- go to recovery
- go to 4EXT menu and wipe system,data and cache as EXT4
- then go to factory reset and install your rom
- restart
@ proxuser: But i do not have EXT4, i have CWM recovery. Can you guide me as to how to do what you sais in your last post please?

Have you attempted the suggestions in my earlier post #2?
After following what I suggested, although I'm not the only person to suggest that you attempt to use adb ....you seem to be missing the point or perhaps not understanding?
Follow step in post #2
Then fire up a PC CMD window, go to the directory where adb is extracted to and type the command
Code:
adb devices
tell us what the response is?

It doesn't matter whether you have CWM or 4EXT they both are similar and perform the same functions.

@ben - I tried what you said and your instructions very very clear. But when i type adb devices it just says "List of devices" Thats all... and Typing adb reboot recovery just gives an error with no device connected...

@ben : Yours was the first help post that i read and i have tried everything you suggested and i'm down to the last point where i may have to pull the battery. even if i reinsert it after a minute, there are chances of killing mu eMMC, right. That is where i'm stuck currently...
The same issue happened to me last week while trying to flash EXT4Recovery over CWM.. I have pulled the battery and reinserted after few seconds.. And then I was able to boot into the ROM..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264527
@Nirubhai, can you tell me exactly how you got past the white screen into recovery?
Hey bro, if you do pull the battery, do not instantly re insert it. Re insert about a minute later. Try ADB commands.
You don't need to worry, relax. You're in no trouble at all. A kernel flash is usually harmless.

How much was your phone charged?
Around 52%
That'll take a while to run out. Is adb detecting your phone? ADB is probably your best bet.
You'll get into recovery eventually, it's not a question of IF , but WHEN.
I am going to wait the entire night if it takes that... Adb is not detecting my device. Have run out of all options but to wait till it switches off, then connect to charger and try recovery. WHEN i get into recovery, should i do a nand restore or flash another kernel, ext4 or what? Any suggestions willl be a big help...

Sorry to hear that, just needed feedback to know what to suggest next.
when you plug charger in does LED light ?
The way I see it you have two options
1)
If LED was lighting when you tried charging phone?
Then you could wait until the battery runs completely flat and the phone turns itself off. Then plug in charger and fully charge the phone before turning phone ON and trying to enter bootloader by pressing VOLUME DOWN + POWER button.
2)
Just go for it and pull it, pull it out quickly leave out for about 30seconds and replace it and try to enter bootloader by pressing VOLUME DOWN + POWER button.
Anyone agree?
Do you have a nandroid backup? If you do, restore that. No need for Ext4 or anything right now.
Yeah ben, thats probably what i would do. I've been stuck on this screen many times, and thats what i did. Pull the battery, and re insert a minute later.
its boot up is boolean as it sticks at the asus logo and freezes at booting recovery image up in the left, i cant get it to do nothing i have download unbrickers but they are uselesss until i can find a way to get my device recognized by the pc.. i was trying to install twrp and command prompt said script was finished so i rebooted device not its stuck at hte asus boot screen i think i must of installed wrong recovery image , but i am stuck now cause windows doesnt recognize my device as i mentioned again earlier, any pointers or help is greatly appreciated,, thanks in advance i have tried looking all over the forums and google have yet to find a way i even looked on youtube..... i will make a donation to who ever is the hero
i have the naked usb drivers installed for apx mode but still cant do anything, i apologize for the newbie post but i guess i learned the hard way, is this even restorable maybe with a mac or do i have myself a pretty fancy expensive paper weight
is there anyone else that has ever experienced this issue let me know please can't believe i hit wipe data.im to the point where i will donate good to anyone that can help me find a resolution
When you tried to flash twrp had you already unlocked the boot loader?
The boot loader must be unlocked prior to the installation of any costume recovery.
yes it was , still is, well i wanted to make sure we were are on the same page is that the same as having device unlocked?
Any suggestions
If you can't get into the boot loader or fastboot, I'm sorry to say you are hard bricked.
Did you wipe from the boot loader at some point before?
Your best options are to send it to Asus with RMA for repair or sell it for parts on eBay.

Hold down thepowerbutton and the low volume buttons at the same time, tell us what happens . You must hold them down for almosrt 8 seconds.
i sent it off to asus rma department, guess they told me my warranty is now void and would need to pay for a the labor and a new motherboard, i tried everything over and over. i even let it keep restarting itself overnight and it still didnt do anything, i read someplace it is fixable if only i had a linux based os
i cna get into apx mode i dont know if that helps and i have tried to download the wsg unbricker tool but that doesnt seem to work either i need to learn how to push recovery onto it. i went went from it automatically restarting to it being stuck on asus boot screen, can somebody lead me into the right direction, all your time and effort is and will be greatly apprectiated
I did this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2046439 then attempted to put CM10(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840414) on the phone. I downloaded the stable version for Verizon wireless and made sure it was correct etc. I went to TWRP and put install then went to the .zip and continued after doing that the phone resets saying "System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest Verizon Wireless store for help.". I am not entirely sure what I did wrong but it will no longer let me enter twrp but it does let me go to the download screen. Did I brick it or what? Thanks.

How do I use odin to put the bootloader file on my phone since it's not an .md5 file etc.? Sorry, just don't understand.
" I held volume down/home for a few seconds and then held power. The phone booted to a mode I had not seen before (recovery/download as you said?) and I said cancel and the phone booted!"
Boot normal. use tool in first link to unlock the bootloader and CM should be up and running

also you should be able to get into recovery just let go of the volume, power, home as soon as you see the samsung logo pop up

I did the hold the volume button down/home at same time then press power but that sends me to the normal do I want to download press up to continue or down to cancel. I pressed down and it still gave me the warning. I try going to recovery but it prevents me by telling me the same message. I think it's the bootloader like you said but I don't understand how to get the file on the phone through oden. I downloaded that first link but it won't go through oden because it's not the .md5 etc and the computer isn't showing me the phone data through my files.
I am going to odin flash a stock image then re-boot.
I reflashed the phone using odin. I went through and used the "casual" rooting process which appeared to work. I went into twerp then pressed install then pressed the .zip for the CM mod. It re-loaded and now it's stuck on the CyanogenMod screen with a circle. I don't understand if it's installing or what?
I understand now why it wasn't working. Answer in here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36341274 Anyways, now that I got CM to work. GAPPS refuses to work, it sends an error message saying that the Setup Wizard has failed. I don't understand that.
Checked to make sure the GAPPS version I downloaded was the one compatibale with the CM version, it was not so I re-downloaded the correct version now everything is working great. Thanks spitfire143 for all the help and getting me on the right track!

Thanks for sharing. Testing tonight. I got the update to 5.1.1 from T-mobile and I did not know that if you try to root after the update, it will soft brick your phone and the user WILL NOT be able to do the factory restore with the power and volume down trick. The phone wont respond. My phone is pretty much dead. If this works, you will be my favorite superhero. Thanks!

I was not able to place the phone in download mode, but still followed your steps. The LG support too stopped at 24% and told me to remove the cable and the battery and place the battery back in. I placed the battery back and pushed the up volume almost at the same time that I inserted the USB cable on the phone. The phone went into download mode which I was not able to do before. Then the software continued to install the stock ROM. At the end, my phone rebooted and all my settings and apps were back how I left them before bricking the phone. Thanks forever.
It's Alive Again!
Thank you so much man. My LG devices have a history of dying due to flashing roms/recoveries but this is the first time a root messed up my phone. You saved me.

Thanks! I followed the directions exactly and it worked perfectly
T-mobile had pushed an update to 5.1.1 and I reluctantly accepted. Then I tried to root using "LG One Click Root" application from XDA. It says it went through the rooting process successfully but when the phone restarts, it gets stuck at the LG boot screen. This fixes it!
So just FYI -- DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ROOT T-MOBILE LG LEON 5.1.1! IT WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE.
Will this work for LG G2 VS980? verizon
I always get stuck
I have tried over and over and i always get stuck at 47% on the LG Mobile Support Tool and 49% on the phone. Help me please.

T-mobile had pushed an update to 5.1.1 and I reluctantly accepted. Then I tried to root using "LG One Click Root" application from XDA. It says it went through the rooting process successfully but when the phone restarts, it gets stuck at the LG boot screen. This fixes it!
So just FYI -- DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ROOT T-MOBILE LG LEON 5.1.1! IT WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE.

Hi, sorry for the time. I have been super busy these days. Anyway, I am glad you succeeded in unbricking your device.

Thank you so much man. My LG devices have a history of dying due to flashing roms/recoveries but this is the first time a root messed up my phone. You saved me.
DO NOT ROOT THE LG LEON LTE IF YOU INSTALLED THE 5.1.1 UPDATE FROM T-MOBILE

Hi, sorry for the time. I have been super busy these days. Anyway, did you try this procedure yet? (I am just quoting someone else) "The LG support tool stopped at 24% and told me to remove the cable and the battery and place the battery back in. I placed the battery back and pushed the up volume almost at the same time that I inserted the USB cable on the phone. The phone went into download mode which I was not able to do before. Then the software continued to install the stock ROM."
I Did The Same Thing!

I also used "LG One Click Root" but on a Metro PCS LG Leon LTE and it went through the process and rebooted but got stuck on the logo.
I'm having a situation where the downgrade succeeds, but the phone still stays at LG logo and keeps booting.
If I connect the LG mobile support tool application, it states the phone is on 34510d firmware (eg, it does not downgrade, but remains in boot loop).
What I did was upgrade manually to T-mobile 5.1.1 and then wanted to downgrade to original stock rom.
Opens LG Mobile Support Tool, then "Connection To Server Failed" error. Stops there. No joy on this "fix"
Any suggestions why?
Will this unlock the phone as well ?
LG Leon H345 KDZ Stock Firmware Download brick fix works
LG Leon H345 KDZ Stock Firmware Download brick fix works
This works 100%! Please be aware that this is a more direct link to the KDZ Firmware! It will take you straight to the page that you need to be at without having to worry about your IMEI number at all! It has the KDZ Firmware image for all countrys and make and models of this phone!
lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=171
Also, be aware that there are more download options than what you see up top! I almost downloaded the wrong file for my phone this way! This is because it had the tmobile h345 leon right there uptop so I just clicked on it and started downloading it. However when you scroll down you'll see that there is a USA section that actually has several different versions for the same phone! Most notably the V10d, v10e, and the v10f! When making your selection look at the back of the phone behind the battery under neither the IMEI number and you'll see what version you have. Mine was the v10e, v10d is whats at the top under most downloaded so please make sure that you pay attention and don't make the same mistake that I almost made!
I also made another discovery. If you are unable to run the flash tool then that means that you need to download Visual C++ runtime Libary.
Another thing, when running the flash tool you may notice that it attempts to connect to a server and then has and error and says that it failed. It will happen as its flashing the phone and you see the bar moving percentage wise. However, do not be alarmed and do not close out of the app and try again! If you look at your phone you'll see that the car is still moving and that files are still being updated!
Also, even once it gets to a 100% it will still take a few minutes to complete so dont' worry about that!

This will not unlock this phone! However you can use the new version of KingRoot and that will do it!

Yes, actually I do. In my last post i stated that that does occur every time. However, you don't have to worry, just don't close the program and wait. If you look at your phone you notices that it will continue to update the even though it has that error, Once the phone is done updating and reboots. You'll see it updating the applications on the phone! An you'll be good to go!
So there IS JOY, in the FIX after all! Trust me, I just did it! :good:

Yes it does say that. A screen pops up with an OK button and tell you that the connection to the server failed and asks you if you would like to cancel the update. Just ignore it and wait and watch you phone and you'll see it update.
Also, on doing another phone i've noticed that the Read Phone command when you first press the normal flash button can cause the application to crash for some reason. However, if you just sick that part and press START then you'll be able to proceed as normally and it will work just fine!:good:
