S-off
S-Off, it might be for some countries, in "ASIA" they got the "PYRAMID" with S-OFF and in the Rest of the "WORLD" we got the "SENSATION" with S-ON. Might be am wrong and its only an opinion.
If ur bootloader is stuck, dude bring it back to ur customer service. Guarantee Plays.

im calling bs on this one... unless this person got a dev. phone

Try using recovery from bootloader menu.

Probally no Rom installed? Just my 2cents.

Remove battery and try to perform a hard reset using phone buttons (power and volume down, at least thats what it is on my desireS).
Have you tried removing SIM and/or the SD card.

Brothers, mine is a Eng device.
I tried to enter recovery . But the screen go blank.
even I go thru fastboot mode. or (Vol up + power)
I tried to directly flash RUU rom. it shown the rom version 1.XX so it should be a rom inside.once the screen show going to bootloader, the device come to blank screen again. and never go thru.
I have try original battery , and a 3rd party battery. It come with the same result.
with / without Micro SD card , Sim card. come out the same result.
I think I will try to flash the "zip" rom m-deejay by using SDK command.
see what is next....

[Q] Bricked phone ?

Hello everyone ,
I got a HTC Desire S. Yesterday i opened my phone and suddenly it closed. And didnt open again. It froze in HTC screen. (Quietly Brilliant is not coming) And i couldn't make a factory reset or recovery. When i press factory reset it froze again. Is there a way to fix this? Also the phone is not rooted or installed any custom rom. Lastly i am a newbie on Android devices. While answering me, can you also please describe what should i do step by step. Especially technical terms.

No it didnt happen while downloading or doing something. It happened suddenly. It looks like i will return it to warranty.

Try boot into recovery or in the hboot menu wipe the device. Then try to boot again.

Same here, just send it to HTC, they'll just install new motherboard or swap your phone for working one.

[Q] I need SERIOUS help here...

I have never rooted or any of that stuff. I will admit I had quite a bit of apps installed on my phone. I recently did an update and everything seemed fine. The other day I restarted my phone and it would not boot back up. It loops on it's own into the white screen with HTC on it. During the black screen I can hold down my buttons and get into HBOOT but no type of recovery or factory reset works. I did get it to boot into the OS once after this happened but once it lost the charge it will not boot up again. When I have my SD card in all these messages come up saying that some IMG.zip files are missing. When no SD is in it just shows the HBOOT screen. I cannot recover or Factory Reset either way.
My HBOOT screen reads

Once again I AM NOT IN ANY WAY ROOTED (have no clue what half of you guys are talking about on this forum LOL) and when I select Recovery or Factory Reset, whether my SD card is in or out it just continues to loop.
HOW CAN I FIX THIS THING?

go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193033 and follow from "download ruu"

How can I make sure USB debugging is turned on if I can't boot into my OS... I think it is but.... *sigh*

Did you do anything to your phone before that happened?

No. Nothing that should cause this. It had been showing the HTC screen a lot during navigation back to my home screen. I usually restart and this minimizes that action but this time it would not get past the HTC screen. I tried starting from where he told me. When I tried to flash the ROM it kept saying "battery voltage too low replace a battery" although it had been charging. When it charges the light never turns green like it used to. When I unplug the charger the orange light stays on. I finally tried it again and it said something about couldn't update, installed version is older. I did not do the S-OFF in the post he referred me to because I cannot boot into my regular home screen like it asks me to in some of those steps.

If you haven't done anything to it, leave it up to tmobile to fix it.
If s is on and you weren't rooted or. running a diff Rom just have tmobile worry about it.

[Q] Inspire stuck on htc boot screen

I tried rooting my inspire with aahk but in the process the phone restarted and ended up getting stuck on the htc boot screen. I've tried to go into the hboot screen and do a factory reset and recovery but every time it goes into the same htc boot screen and just freezes on there. What could be the problem and what can i do to remedy this problem and get my phone operating properly again. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

What version of firmware did your phone come with, Froyo or Gingerbread? What exactly happened with AAHK? As in, how far did you get in AAHK? What does HBOOT say from the top to FASTBOOT?

You should have read the manual. It covers what to do in case of errors. Now that you did a factory reset you disabled USB debugging. List what your hboot screen says and also try entering recovery to see if that got flashed.

Based on the radio and boot version it looks like your on 2.47.502
You need to reflash the ruu and start all over. Look at the sticky I have in the general. Their I have a link to the ruus.
If that ruu doesn't work you could always try the 3.20 version.

This may be a stupid question but how do I get the computer to see my phone. I downloaded the new ruu but when is searched or prepares the phone it cant find it.

Boot your phone into hboot.
Pull battery.
Reinsert battery and hold volume down and power
Once in boot select fast boot.
Then plug in your phone should read fast boot USB. Then you run the ruu

Hello, I have a an HTC Inspire 4G and it won't turn on. And I can't get into HBOOT. I tried the AAHK method and now it seems to be perma-bricked. It's not even mine. It sometimes turns on, constantly vibrating. I have no idea what to do next. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I had previously rooted by ONE S T-Mobile version and it had been working fine. I then decided to try out another rom. I likely flashed an incorrect boot img because it would only reboot into fastboot, but would still allow me to go into recovery. I went to recovery and restored my nandroid backup; however, now the phone will get stuck on the opening HTC screen the red language on the bottom, "this build is for development purposes only." It will hang on this screen for about 20 seconds and then turn off. No loop. When I attempt to power up again, I get a quick horizontal flash of light across my screen and then the orange LED comes on in the top left corner indicating the phone is charging. I then hold down power and again the phone gets stuck on the opening HTC screen with the red language.
Any advice regarding a remedy would be much appreciated.

When p hone is on you'll have to power it off manually by pressing power for 10+ seconds. Then you should be able to enter the bootloader and fastboot. (Vol down + power) No matter if you have flashed a wrong kernel.

Thanks for the advice on how to enter the bootloader. Unfortunately, no matter how many times I try, using your method and a variety of other methods, I still can't get past "HTC developmental purposes only" screen. I'm not new to android and have experience with a number of phones, but this is my first HTC. Pretty frustrating thus far.
I'm to the point where I'd love to send the phone to someone who could RUU it and send it back.

Thankfully I finally figured out how to consistently get my phone to enter into Fastboot; however, no the trouble I'm having is finding the proper RUU. I've tried the 3 T-mobile varients available in the RUU depository found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2094414
But alas, while I am able to run the RUU program, which enters my phone into a mode where the screen is all black expect for the HTC logo in the middle, I keep on getting error codes. Are there more than 3 RUU varients identified in the depository?
Oh, I should note that I was also able to get into recovery, but my SD was unable to mount so I can't find my Nandroid.
Also, while the RUU program recongizes that I have my phone attached, the Hasson utility does not, nor does my computer.

Which error code?

You need to relock the bootloader before you run the RUU
And if your CID is Optus001 and you're S-ON you can't use T-Mobile RUUs (T-MOB010)

How did you enter the fast boot?
I was playing with System Files because of the low mic volume problem, rebooted and since then the phone does exactly like yours: 20sec of "this build is for development purposes only" then it switches off.
All button-combinations tried.
The PC in Printer and Devices sees it as an Android Phone, Device Manager sees a HTC MTP Device, but I don't see it in Windows Explorer.
Adb do not see any connected device.
I guess I have to change the motherboard.
