[Q] Desire S flash without Fastboot USB - HTC Desire S

Hello xda-developers Boardusers ,
ive got an HTC Desire S and wanted to flash it..
The CWM is installed but since then i cant conntect it to the PC anymore.
Maybe its the USB-Port of the Phone..
Is it possible to update my ROM without Fastboot.. The Phone is S-ON and got an T-Mobile Branding.
I tried to update the ROM but then it stops booting at the T-Mobilelogo.
And if i extract the RUU 4.0.4 and rename it on the SdCard to PG88IMG.. It starts to load but.. But it wont let me flash it because when its finished with loading it just go back to the Mainmenu.
I would really appreciate your help.

I think you have to be s off for that or unlocked boot loader which requires PC connection.

Charging accually works.. But the Phone wont go into "Fastboot USB".. So im unable to Relock it. Or is there a posibility to Relock it using the CWM?
A Custom Rom would be fine too.. And i tried on and installed it with the CWM. But it stops booting at the Tmobilelogo.
I tried a Goldcard to with the CID TMOB101 but that didnt worked as well.
But dont know if this acually the right CID. I found this one on the internet.. Is there a way to find the CID without fastboot?

Oh rite. So use link below to setup fastboot and install drivers.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
Once thats done, reboot pc. Then boot ur phone into fastboot mode and plug it into pc, hopefully will say fastboot usb.
The reason a custom rom does not boot is because ur s-on u need to flash the boot.img inside the rom via fastboot commands. So either way we need fastboot working!! That tool above is very good

Make sure its not ur USB cable thats gone.

I tried it but i still only get "Fastboot AC".. I will try it later with a Linux
How about flashing the boot.img with the Backup option from the CWM --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1991168
Does it work?
Would like to install the "Desire XS 1.1" Custom Rom..
And another Question.. Can i always enter the Recovery.. Because after i flashed this Custom Rom it asked me at the end to flash the boot.img if im not S-Off so i was a little bit scard and flashed my backup without turning off

I think you unlocked your bootloader with htcdev, if yes you need to extract the boot.img of the ROM and after flashing the ROM you have to flash the kernel (boot.img) with fastboot, but next time search the forum, this has been discussed many times

Run the ruu without attached device, don't close the the window.
Search inside your temp folder for the rom.zip, copy it to another folder and close the window.
Inside the rom.zip remove the hboot.img and recovery.img.
Flashing with bootloader:
Rename it to PG88IMG.zip.
Put it to the root of your sd.
Reboot to bootloader and follow the instructions.
Delete the pg88img.zip, otherwise it will try to flash it everytime you access the bootloader.
Flashing from recovery:
Put it to your sd.
Wipe all partitions except sd.
Flash it from recovery.
....extract the boot.img from the rom you flash via recovery and put it somewhere in your computer like C:\Android
then when you are in recovery open cmd connect your phone using the cable provided and type adb reboot bootloader
your phone will reboot in bootloader.now type in cmd fastboot flash boot C:\Android\boot.img
then reboot your phone.

That's why the hboot.img and the recovery.img needs to be deleted
Without those he still would stay s-off and with the same recovery, just the system, radio and kernel would be reverted back to stock

Can you use adb ?? if so then try to see the output of adb logcat .
It will give you some clue.
By the way is your device S-OFF and rooted ?? If so then u can flash a new ROM.
If you are S-ON and unrooted then download and flash the official RUU.
Tell us a bit more about your phone and what you did. Have you flashed new firmware?

To connect to your phone via adb , you don't need S-OFF. How did you install adb driver ?? Any manual method??
I will suggest you to install HTC Sync . This will automatically install driver for all HTC devices.
Then you can connect via adb...
If you want to install any custom rom then your device should be S-OFF and custom recovery installed.

[Q] Relocked bootloader, won't boot into Rom

This is going to sound like an odd problem but all I can get to is the bootloader and fastboot. Haha. I feel like that's different from most threads here.
I'm selling my One X (AT&T) soon and wanted to get rid of my custom rom (CM10) and put it back to stock. I a stock rooted 2.20 rom (flashed boot.img then the zip) and thought everything would be fine. I locked the bootloader through fastboot (fastboot oem lock) and rebooted. Here's my problem: the phone won't ever actually boot into the rom installed after relocking the bootloader.
As far as I have read, I can't run the RUU if I can't boot into the rom. Every time I try to reboot or shut down then power on again, I just end up back at the bootloader. I can access fastboot but I don't think any of the commands can help me.
Btw, I can't get to recovery either, if that's any help. It just goes back to the bootloader again.
Any help would be great. Thank you and have a nice day!
You actually need to be in the bootloader to run the ruu, that is normal behaviour.

That is what is supposed to happen. Once you relock, you have to run the RUU.

Thanks for the input! I've tried running the RUU on my Windows PC while the phone is both in fastboot and bootloader yet the RUU failed to connect to my One X. In some of the videos that I've found, once they relocked their bootloader, their phone would reboot into the rom. So is that not what's supposed to happen?
I've also seen some threads where people flash the RUU but it's for other devices. Is there a way I can do that? So while I'm in fastboot or something, I can just use the command line.
Thanks again!
I was able to just run the ruu on my pc while connected via fastboot usb. I'm not sure that the ruu is intended to be run from any command line, so you'll probably want to double check that your phone is connecting to your pc properly before you run the ruu. That's the only thing I can think of at this point.

When I run the RUU, I run in to this error:
"Error[170]: USB Connection Error. The Rom Update Utility cannot connect to your Android device." I'm not sure why I'm getting that.
I was on 2.20 before I rooted my phone, not sure if that changes anything.
I'm not sure if this is what you're talking about but when I go to the command line and type "fastboot devices" it acknowledges my phone so I feel like it is connected. Right?
Thanks!
IT'S ALIVE
I just wanted to say that I got it to work. In case anybody has the same problem as me, all you need to do is install the latest HTC Sync on your computer. Plug in your phone and go into fasboot mode. From there, just run the RUU on your phone and everything should work.
Thanks for everybody's help!

That's correct. Your PC has to have the latest HTC drivers installed in order to communicate with your phone.
Do you have to flash the boot.img separately like when flashing a rom? Or does the RUU take care of the whole thing?
The RUU basically puts your phone back to exactly how it was when you bought it

Okay guys im really stucked trying to repair the phone...

Its my sisters phone, currently stucked at bootsplash screen

CID returned is HTC_044... No matter how i flash recovery, the phone simply reboots... means i cant get into recovery mode.
I tried reflashing boot.img from vipers and relash recovery... doesnt work.
Right now, im trying to flash RUU via zip..... I have relocked my bootloader... Current status is that I managed to send the zip file over... but its stucked at writing for the past 10 mins...
This is the RUU where i extracted the rom.zip from
"RUU_EVITA_UL_ICS_40_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.23.707.2_Radio_0.19as.32.09.09_L_10.104b.32.25L_release_271654_signed"
It should be the same as my current rom... which if i read correctly, it will not get updated? that I should use the newer 3.17 RUUs for asia in order to fix?
************************ Update ************************
Okay great... now after waiting for 4332 seconds for the writing part to finish... I knew its not going to work via waiting any longer... I unplugged the USB... the command prompt shows up an error (FAILED, too many links)... I attempted to restart the phone from the HTC logo and now it doesnt start at all... cant even get into bootloader... =.=
************************ Update ************************
Okay I've managed to save my phone using this method http://unlimited.io/qhsusbdload.htm
So now im back to square one... I can go bootloader... i unlocked it again... but i still cant go recovery...
************************ Update ************************
Now its back to being bricked again... as I was working on the phone outside when i managed to unbricked it. I choose to power off the phone from bootloader menu, thinking that I could work on it when I get home... alas, when i got home... the phone doesnt turn on... and i saw the dreaded QHSUSB_DLOAD thingy again...... omg... And the above method no longer works..........

Maybe A bad download. Download the latest twrp.
Make sure boot loader is unlocked and you have fastboot usb on in bootloader
Then within toolkit pick flash other recovery and manually select the one you downloaded. Then try selecting recovery in bootloader.

RUU is an exe the fact it creates a rom.zip is fairly well hidden. Are you running the exe or doing some other crazy thing?
You should not be flashing anything to your phone if you are confusing zip and exe's, it means you lack the basic understanding of computers to be able to complete these tasks without failing.
How did you try to flash the recovery? What recovery did you try to flash? What were the errors given?
EDIT: you should not be using one click tools.
Use fastboot and flash recovery yourself, it is a simple task.

the zip file can be obtained via temp folder of the windows directory when you run the exe file.
The all in one toolkit requires the zip so I got it done via that method...
Yes I know how to do it via command prompt but the toolkit is handy...
And lastly you can say my understanding of mobile phone system isnt complete but dont insult me saying I dont understand whats zip and exe......

I know it can be obtained from temp folder.
Why go to the effort of getting the rom.zip to use in the toolkit when you could simply just run the RUU, which you had to do to get the rom.zip in the first place? Especially when it was failing, why push on with trying to use the toolkit instead of just using the RUU as it was intended by HTC?
I have not much knowledge of the toolkit, but when it flashes zip's is it for normal ROM's or for RUU rom.zip? The rom.zip is not in a format that can normally be used by most tools, it is not the same as flashing a custom ROM.
The toolkit is likely only for installing custom ROM's via pre installed TWRP and not compatible with rom.zip.
You said you were using a RUU zip and complaining it was failing, it appeared at face value you were confusing what the RUU even is.
I am still lost why running the RUU and grabbing the rom.zip from temp folder and then flashing in a toolkit was your chosen method. This just points more towards you are confused about what a RUU is.
I am sure the RUU would work if you just let it run like it is supposed to.

Why?
Personally because of the state you have got the phone in to I would:
1)go get the correct tools. eg fastboot, unlockcode, twrp and rom
2)Ensure phone is charged
3)fastboot oem lock
4)Run RUU.. and try actually running it which means just click next and yes a lot.. no fancy going to temp folders and trying to incorrectly install rom.zip via random tools
5)fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
6)fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.4.1.0-evita.img
7)fastboot flash boot boot.img (from desired rom)
8)boot into recovery
9)mount USB and transfer desired ROM
10)wipe data and system
11)install ROM
12)reboot in to ROM.

well... as mentioned, would really love to follow your steps but.... its bricked now... again...
I did run RUU.exe once but it hung for 30 mins without activity... but then again that was when my bootloader was unlocked... then i read that i can relock and do it through ruu.zip instead.... so i went that route.......

The least risky way would be to flash a stock ROM from here not an ruu. There are some untouched roms. I, myself have bricked running the telus ruu.

[SOLVED] [Help me revive my sensation[stuck on boot screen while trying s_off]

Ok first things first.. this all is what I did and what's my present situation
1. Unlocked the boooader as per the htc dev site instructions.
2. Tried to soff using jbear method. Every thing went fine untill the jbear utility gave command to restart the device.
After restart, jbear utility failed to recognise the device. It said device not detected, please install device drivers.
3. From that moment onwards, the device is stuck at the white htc bootscreen.
4. I also followed another guide to install custom recovery and custom rom without s off.
I was able to flash a custom recovery, and even the rom. But the device won't move ahead of the bootscreen.
5. Then tried to return to stock using ruu file. But my region ruu is still not available so that method didnt work(3.33.xx.xx asia india).
Have also tried a few more methods but none seem to work.
Help guys.

Try to make superCID and install RUU or search for 3.32 RUU
Or try flashing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767&highlight=universal firmware from here 3.33 (there is 058 CID)

he has to be on S-OFF to flash a firmware from bootloader and i don't think he achieved S-OFF
what he must to do is enable smartflash from 4ext(if you don't have that recovery use this one)
then flash the rom

Yeah exactly.. device is still s–on. And thats what is causing all the troubles i guess. Can't flash europe or asia ruu(cid error).
And i have tried enabling smartflash. Flashed the android revolution rom. Installed fine. But still stuck on bootscreen.
And as I am not s–off, so i dont think 3.32 ruu would work. Correct me if i'm wrong.
Try flashing boot.IMG manually.
I don't exactly remember the fast boot command but since fast boot commands are working then you can try flashing the boot image manually.

And where do i get this boot image? From ruu?

Not gonna try and bombard you with information I'm not sure why your phone won't boot but I am sure completely installing a new rom (everything) should fix you up so here is what I'll try and lead you to go..
1 use 4ext recovery and enable smart flash and flash a fresh rom.
So are u on 4ext recovery don't worry if your not that HTC unlocked bootloader is just as good as s-off if your bricked and know how to use it

Get the boot image from the custom ROM. Try to extract it with 7-zip or another similar program

also before flashing any rom
format all partitions except sdcard from 4ext
then enable smartflash and flash the rom
Still no luck
Ok.. i decided to flash a custom rom (ANDROID REVOLUTION)
1. Flashed 4ext recovery
2. Wiped all partitions except sd card.
3. Enabled smartflash.
4. Flashed rom.
5. Rebooted and still stuck at the htc logo screen( m really sick of this logo now).
Did I miss something?
You know those official updates that cone in a format P8500IMG.zip can you try to find that for your phone unfortunately this will probably result in loss of your root

Cheers guys.. Its back to life again
DON'T HAVE WORDS TO THANK YOU ALL.
Here's what I did..
From my experience.. i believe even after enabling smartflash, the boot image wasn't being flashed.
So what I did is extracted the boot. img from custom rom and flashed it via fastboot.
And voila.. it worked!!
Seems so simple now.. but it took me one week. Wouldn't have been possible without you guys.
Thanks a ton.
Cheers.
