A friend has given me his Desire S to fix what I originally thought was just a stuck power button that prevented it from starting up. But the button is now fixes and I've been trying the last few days to get it to start up.
What I have tried so far is to enter Recovery mode, but upon choosing it, the phone would just go to the HTC logo screen, fibrate once and then fibrate agian after a second or two for a few times and the screen would go blank. The same happens with normal bootup. It also seems that the phone is still running with the blank screen because I have to pull the battery to startup again.
I then tried to use the latest RUU (Android 4.0) from HTC but the phone is not recognized by the computer (I think it is because it didn't startup enough to be able to present itself to the computer). So I unlocked it and used fastboot (from Ubuntu as OS) to flash the recovery (recovery_signed.img) and boot (boot_signed.img) from the RUU. With this recovery and normal startup would remain at the HTC screen and wouldn't go blank as before - still fibrates a few times.
I also tried to rename the rom.zip to PG88IMG.zip and putting it on a SD and the bootloader does detect it, but presents the normal boot screen afterwards (I think it complains about it being incorrect - the display is too quick for me to see the error).
Now I also have a Desire S and made a backup of it before I installed a custom ROM. So I also tried the recovery.img that I have from this backup, but then recovery is stuck on the blank screen again.
Is there anything that I did wrong, missed or may not have tried yet? And how can I go about to fix it?

The PG88IMG wont work coz ur s-on. Ul need to extract the zip file and put the recovery.img in ur fastboot folder and then flash it from fastboot, volume down + power then select select fastboot then plug ur phone into pc and open a fastboot command window and type
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Also a ruu u run from fastboot and u need to relock ur bootloader.
(i dunno how all this is done using ubuntu but thats how on windows so im sure ul know or figure it out)
Ok, didn't know that I needed S-OFF for PG88IMG - thanks for pointing that out . I did flash the recovery (paragraph 3), it is just named `recovery_signed.img` and not 'recovery.img` - I assume that there isn't a difference between the two?
Do I open the RUU while in fastboot on the phone (after relocking) or do I run it from a fastboot command?
(On Ubuntu fastboot is installed as a program so I can call it after I CD to the extracted rom folder and I assume it is working since I didn't get any errors)

Well it depends, could be 4ext recovery, CWM, or TWRP. But as far as the name, could be called peterpan.img and it wouldnt matter haha

Yh boot ur phone into fastboot, connect it to pc, relock bootloader and then run ruu. The ruu should be exe file so just double click it to run.
Ok, relocked it and went into fastboot mode and then opened the RUU, but was not recognized. Then followed this (droid-now.com/2013/10/fix-working-fastboot-drivers-windows-8-1-x64/) since I used Win 8.1 for the RUU and it flashed successfully.
But it is still stuck on the HTC screen - gave it 30 minutes for the first boot after flash. Recovery is also still stuck, so I reflashed and same issue.

Hello,
I have troubles with my phone which won't boot. I installed official ICS exe on my computer and after update wizard said that was successfully finished.
When I turn on phone first is HTC sign and then is blank black screen (lightly illuminated) and stays there.
If I remove SD card then I get the red triangle message.
What could be wrong? How do I fix this?

Do not, ever, EVER, install an official ROM throught the RUU while being on S-OFF
yes, your phone was s-off and you should update by using PG88IMG.zip instead of RUU file.
Do you have goldcard backup? If so you can use goldcard to unbrick.
Yeah I know that now.
I have nothing backed up.
Please do tell me I have hope.

If you can get to fastboot then surely you should be able to use ADB to connect to your phone?
Please tell me more about ADB? How can I try if I am able to use ADB?
have you tried to enter fastboot, connect to PC with USB, and flash the custom recovery once more? Probably, when you tried to apply the RUU - it overwrote the custom recovery with the official one, so you need to reflash the custom one back, access it, and restore a nandroid backup from within it. Then, either use the method to upgrade to ICS but keep root and s-off, or go completely stock and and upgrade to official ICS (with a possibility to root it), or simply flash the prerooted official ICS ROM
Sorry for my noob questions.
I need some software on my PC to flash from computer? Thank you for all you are helping.

things that you need are:
- ADB.exe
- Fastboot.exe
- few .dll files that allow these two to work on your computer
- Fastboot drivers
- and an .img file of the required custom recovery
You can find all of these somewhere in Desire S forums, just search for keywork "[GUIDE]"
Then you can simply follow the instructions from the guide on how to use the adb and fastboot, and you'll be back up and running in no time
And because you're already S-OFF, all you need to do is get the files I listed above, unpack the archive with them in somewhere like C:/, open command prompt, get into bootloader, select "FASTBOOT", and enter the "fastboot flash recovery (recovery name).img" command, then reboot into bootloader again with "fastboot reboot-bootloader" command, and then you'll be able to access the newly flashed custom recovery to restore your backup, and return your phone to life
Seems complicated in text format, but it's actually easier than you might think

you don't need to install anything other than drivers to allow your PC to work with adb/fastboot commands through CMD. And, if I remember correctly, you should also deinstall HTC Sync program and delete any HTC drivers present on your system currently. Then install fastboot drivers, and you're good to go.
Good luck mate
F.Y.I, if your hboot is ENG S-OFF you can run RUU to update and it will NOT brick your phone.
And here is some link for you to install custom recovery:
- HTC Driver:
www.htcaddicts.com/download.php?id=318
- Android tool (contains adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll, AdbWinUsbApi.dll, fastboot.exe):
http://www.mediafire.com/?4dx982z93w8z7wk
- Custom recovery image (4EXT):
http://downloads.saga-lbc-mod.de/recovery-images/4EXTRecovery_v2.1.0_saga.zip
Download and extract recovery.img from the zip file.
How to flash recovery: open DOS command prompt in the folder where edb.exe is located (recovery.img file should be in the same folder) and type:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Hope this help, good luck
Wow vndnguyen!
I managed to acess 4EXT recovery v2.1.0.
Now I restored system to 2.3.5 sense 3.0 HBOOT and other is the same.
What I need now to do to get ICS the right way? Is this guide good? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1858508 I am getting: can't open '/sdcard/hboot.img': No such file or directory
You probably forgot to enable the USB debugging mode? And try to download ADB again

I tried to install SmartDroidBerserk 2.2 for my htc sensation tonight. After following the instructions on your website http(removeThis://)smartdroidromsDOTcom/berserk.htm I ran into a huge problem; I'm stuck on the HTC splash screen.
I followed the instructions up to where it said to flash the rom. I believe that I misread this part as meaning that you could install the rom from the zip on the sd card, so I tried to do so. I got an installation error with a status 1 message during the installation. I thought that if I tried to reboot my phone that I could try to reinstall the rom or revert back to an old backup through recovery and then try to actually flash the rom the 'proper' way.
I'm now stuck on the HTC splash screen and can't do anything with my smartphone. I tried to connect it to my computer to run adb to get it back into the bootloader. When I try adb devices it doesn't even recognize that my phone is attached. The same goes for fastboot devices - no return. When I go to my computer and try and select my phone as a removable disk, windows asks me to insert a disk into the disk drive because I formatted the phone during your installation process. After I discovered that I can't use adb to get back into the bootloader, I tried to press volume down and power at the same time but I still can't get into the bootloader with that method, it just stalls on the htc splash screen, not even displaying the "quietly brillant" slogan.
If there's anything that anyone can think that would help my situation, I'd be extremely grateful! I've got a 600$ brick!!

yes, I put adb and fastboot in a folder C:\mini-adb and navigated to that folder. adb would print out 'attached devices are' and nothing below it when I would run adb devices. fastboot devices simply returned nothing.
I got to the second step part 9 where it asked me to fastboot reboot after flashing the recovery (which was successfully written) however when I try to reboot it just stays stuck on the htc splash screen still.
Sorry for the double post.. I just removed my battery and was able to go back into the bootloader and could get into recovery. I was able to restore a prior rooted backup but whenever I try to reboot my smartphone it loads into recovery and not into my rom.
I have the added problem of not being able to access the sd card where I would put the Android Revolution .zip file. Whenever I try to access the phone's drive windows ask me to please insert a disk into removable disk F:.
EDIT: I just used the rom in the opening post instead of using the Android Revolution rom and it installed just fine. I can use my phone again! Thanks so much rzr!

Hey everyone,
So I had a TWRP with stock 4.04 on my HTC One X ATT
I downloaded one of the 4.1.1 Stock ROMS posted today and tried to flash it in recovery. It said success and I rebooted.
This one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2181399
It rebooted into a black screen and it's been stuck there since. Occasionally theres a white bar that flashes at the top.
If I hold down power + volume down, the capacitative buttons just flash several times and that's it.
Adb doesn't see my phone.
However, when I plug it in my PC recognizes it. It doesn't show it in my computer, but hardware manager shows "HTC One X"
I'm concerned it's permanently bricked.
Any advice?

I have HBOOT 1.14.0002
How should I go about doing that?
I downloaded everything and I'm ready to go but I'm not sure of what's next
you need to unzip your Rom, in there is in file called boot.img
put the boot.img in the same Folder as adb and fastboot
then put the phone in bootloader and put in the usb
open cmd on your pc and go to the ADB Fastboot Folder
now put in this:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
if it's done reboot your phone.
the procedure is almost the same as flashing the recovery.
Works like a charm, thank you !

Now you can flash a ROM
I recommend ViperSaga: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1983604
After flashing the ROM, open up the zip on your computer, extract the boot.img, and flash it via fastboot.
So:
1. Wipe data/factory reset from within recovery
2. Flash the ROM (you can use adb to push it to your sdcard even while you're in recovery; e.g. adb push rom.zip /emmc/)
3. When done, reboot; immediately after pressing 'reboot' in your recovery hold down VOL- or you'll be stuck on the white HTC screen and have to wait until the battery runs dry
4. Go to fastboot
5. Extract the boot.img from the rom zip on your computer
6.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
7. Done

4.Reboot to HBOOT: Shutdown completely (disconnect USB if connected and pull battery if necessary) then while holding down the VOL-DOWN key, press the POWER key for about half a second. The phone should boot into HBOOT, check the PD98IMG.zip for consistency, then prompt you to install. Select VOL-UP to install.
5.Once installed, HBOOT will prompt you to reboot by pressing the POWER button. Do this
I can get to step 4 and instead of flashing the PD98IMG.zip is says parsing and just goes back to hboot. I can't flash anything.
I have been making some MAJOR progress on my phone.. after messing around with a lot of fastboot commands, I found this with helped .. fastboot -c "lge.kcal=0|0|0|x" boot customrecovery.img if forces some images to boot.
Also the link I posted above only will work if my phone is relocked. I can't even make post in the Inspire 4G Android Development , because i'm "too new " to ask a question. But I managed to get his program to run again and I've noticed something. on step 7

The only thing you have to do at this point is acknowledge the prompt to install by pressing VOL-UP. (Note: the RUU install may skip a couple of images during the install but this is normal.
IT FAILS to copy the RUU to the sdcard. and that's what has left my phone without an OS. I've also got the stock RUU htc_inspire4g_att_RUU_3.20.502.52_US.exe to run and complete But my phone hangs after the HTC logo..

Also, you haven't told us what error message you get when you try to flash the boot.img. And is your bootloader unlocked??

OMG. this is the worst place for help ever. I have Jelly time installed and I can get into it But only AFTER forcing the boot.img to boot. I CANNOT boot into jellytime by it's self normally. BECAUSE I cannot flash the boot.img file I get an error message. Because I need S-OFF to be off. right now it's on. Everything I've tried has failed.

What does forcing the boot.img means? there is no other way to flash a boot.img that in fastboot if you are S-ON. There is no need to be S-OFF to fastboot flash. In fact, having S-OFF is not enough to enable flash commands in fastboot (you actually need ENG S-OFF for that).
I suggest that you give detail information about the errors and what you are doing if you want to get helped.
Hello,
I have htc inspire. My phone was new sept 2011 and worked until july 2012. My phone was set to charge only and usb debug disable and was never rooted. One night I put the phone to charge and the next day it I turned it on but it never made past the white screen. I have tried to put the rom on sd card as PD98IMG. I tried RUU. The phone lists:
ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-0.85.0024 MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.10.04.03_M
eMMC-boot

When I try using RUU it gets stuck on reloading bootloader
When I try the PD98IMG method using a goldcard, it gets stuck:
parsing...[SD ZIP]
[1] BOOTLOADER -UPDATING
[2] BOOT
[3] RECOVERY
etc
Please help
Not sure but What helped me get past the HTC logo screen is just recovering the old Stock of the phone.
The link provided is to return back to old stock AT&T Roms.

Boot your phone in Bootloader mode (PWR + VOL DOWN).
Run the RUU Installer.
For S-Off, Advanced Hack Kit (AAHK) was quite a big help to me.
My problem is I have s-on. Phone freezes when I try pd98img on sd goldcard. I can connect with fastboot but I am not sure how to use it. The phone was in charge only & usb debug off when it use to work.
