[Q] RUU Hunt - HTC Desire S

Hi, Could anyone point me in the direction of an RUU for a UK O2 for my presently bricked S? I'm hoping that it, in combination with the All-in-One kit, will enable me to escape my present state of affairs. Pretty new to this recovery malarky so any pointers would be extremely welcome. Basically tried to unroot my handset but ended up with an unuseable lump instead. Boots OK but freezes at the unlock screen (although I can get the settings bar to drop down it won't let me access any of the sub menus). Surely someones been here before? Thanks

Pull the battery out n put back in then press and hold volume down + power button, that will boot u into bootloader then try factory reset option. If that cant be done google "shipped roms" and hopefully ul find the correct ruu there.

Does anyone know another site for stock/shipped roms? Im looking for a stock 2.3.5 or lower rom for uk orange network. It seems to be the only rom not on the shipped roms site.

Pretty sure there isnt any ruu's for orange network. U can search if u want but dont think there is. U could try a WWE or Europe ruu (unbranded) but thats up to u, and i dunno if it will work. U mite need to make a gold card to bypass the cid check.

verizon tp2 bricked (help plz)

Hello world
a friend bought a verizon tp2 yesterday (I don't know why because cdma doesn't work in my country ) anyway, this guy open the box, connect the phone and try to upgrade the rom without read anything, in the midle of the rom flashing the phone get stuck and reboot and the phone never turn on again I thought "no problem, I will re-flash it in the tri-colour bootloader", but the phone is dead, no lights, no bootloader, no nothing, but when I connect the phone, windows show a new hardware message "qualcomm CDMA technologies MSM" but nothing happens.
looking the rom used by my friend, is a gsm rom
is totaly bricked ? there is a way to recover the phone?
thanks.
PS: sorry about my english
if you just flashed a custom gsm rom, then you should be fine. if shipped rom, you're f'ed. did you try pulling out the battery for a little bit?
the verizon tp2 is cdma and gsm, so it's usuable in most countries.

if the fone is being recognized just try 2 flash the stock rom it mite just work don't wait 4 the bootloader show up just remove the batt. put it back then press the power and vol. down button and hold it till it comes on if u don't c the bootloader ignore it and attempt 2 flash like normal

the flashing software doesn't recognice the phone "connection error", and the power and vol keys doesn't work either
there is another method to restore the bootloader?

i didn't say it would work. i said he would be fine because he would be able to put it into bootloader mode and flash a proper rom. Only a gsm radio or wrong hardspl would brick his phone.

[Solved] Flashed LG Optimus One P500 Problems

Hi, I'm new to this forum and I wasn't sure where to post this :/. I basicly Rooted + Flashed My LG Optimus One today and I was wondering would Orange accept the phone back (It's on Contract) if it's flashed + Rooted :/. Please Reply ASAP as because my Contract runs out within 2 Months :/
No they would not you need to reverts to complete stock. Including rom spl and radio so look for a stock rom. Check the LG website they probably have one.

Did you hspl the phone. Could you even hspl the phone. If you hspl its permanent but you can return to stock spl.

I can Unroot with Gingerbreak, Just wondering if Orange UK will take the Phone back Flashed? If Not, Will they give me an option to Keep the Phone and end the Contract :/?
Hspl and spl are two things associated with the bootloader hspl is usually hard spl which is an unlocked permanent bootloader all with unlocked security allows the flashing of most custom roms and radio's and reduces the risk of bricking your device. Spl is usually the stock version meaning what u get out of the box. It pretty restricted and chances of flashing customs successfully is low.
If you flash the stock firmware you will revert back... check out the LG-DRM and KDZ threads.

Would the 2.2 Orange UK update be this?: http://hotfile.com/dl/102446651/f17a370/LGP500AT-01-V10c-234-33-OCT-11-20100-DZ.zip.html

Easiest way to get back to totally stock from S-OFF?

Hi there, I've got CM7 with S-OFF on my Sensation right now and I'm going to give my phone to my aunt since I upgraded to a GN
Just wondering, what's the easiest way to get it back to stock and wiping it too? I need it so that it'll start getting OTA updates again.. doesn't really matter if it stays rooted (I'd prefer that but whatever is easier..)
Tried looking at some guides but they all don't have what I'm looking for..

I'm not sure which guides you have looked at.
Have you seen THIS ONE,

I don't get the updates either. How can I check if my phone is S-Off or not?

S off is not the reason you're not getting OTA, custom recovery would be the most likely culprit. To see if you are s off, poweroff the phone, remove battery, replace battery, hold volume down and power, release the power button but keep holding the volume down, H Boot should appear, it will say s off or s on.
Did you buy the phone new or used? Have you flashed any custom ROM?

Also, if did the superCID, make sure to return it to stock so your Aunt can get OTA updates.

so what CID should I set it to for T-Mobile USA??
Can't seem to find that anywhere.. and where/how do I wipe my SD card?
Here's a list of CID codes this should be of use to you

To format your sd card connect your phone to your pc and right click format on your sd card when connected via storage mode

I've no idea how to do that.
AFAIK the phone isn't rooted etc.
I'm hoping the update is available live somehow rather than me having to take my life and phone into my own hands and root it and burn roms etc etc that frankly I'm nervous about doing.

you have the latest official update
if you want to go further do as blogodoblogodo suggested
But its not the Andriod 4 that I'm supposed to be able to update to. I would have thought there would be on on HTC site etc, or it come live.
Anyways, I'll check with HTC Australia, Telstra and Vodafone and see if I can get an official Android 4 update somehow.
BTW: Is it safe to do it .. I saw a couple of comments around about it making phone run slow etc, tho I thought Android 4 was faster.

As someone with experience with custom rom's etc ...
If it ends up that I can't get an official update live to the phone and want to update by flashing a new rom etc....
What would you recommend I get ? From your signature you've got a bit of customising and had a couple of different roms etc.
What's the best to get ?? I'm not wanting to do development etc, I just have a fast capable phone, where everything still works (don't want a rom where some phone feature don't work, like camera of wifi etc) and with a fairly recent o/s (doesn't need to be very latest, just what is good and stable.
Any advice or links etc to what you'd recommend ??
Thanks

basically every rom is pretty much stable
every rom may act differently in each device
also there is no best rom but what is best for you
a suggestion is go for viperS 5.0.0 rom which jelly bean with sense
note this: before flashing the new rom back up your current one just in case
My advice to you mate would be to stick with stock if your not comfortable messing with your phone. You have the latest official update. There will be no more. If you want a new ROM the ONLY way to do it is to Root and flash like has been suggested before. If your are going to go down this road do not do it lightly. Read, read and read again. The steps are all very do-able with little risk to your phone, if you understand the procedures. I can say though it is the best thing to do.
Good luck :good:

HTC - No signal... Ever

Hi,
I can't seem to get any signal, can't call text or use data on my HTC desire 620. But it is finding the networks as when I search to select networks it can find O2 (I'm on giffgaff. And it claims to have registered on network. I've refreshed back to stock,but I don't know where to go from here.
Do I need to reflash the radio.img? If so how would I go about doing that? I've searched allover but can't find the file online.
Thanks

The easiest way to fix your issue is to factory reset it, if that doesn't work, then restore your phone entirely using the stock files, IF that isn't something you want to do then yes, flash the radio and flash the modem as well. It can't hurt.
In most cases just start back at square 1; going entirely back to stock. In so many cases that will fix your issue the fastest.

Thanks for the reply,
I've flashed the stock rom already, but that didn't seem to fix it.
But I read somewhere that flashing a stock rom doesn't actually flash the radio or modem, just the system, boot and recovery.
In which case do you know where I could find a download for the modern and radio?
Thanks

Well if you want to be certain you have your phone entirely back to stock...
Factory reset the phone.

Flash the modem and radio
Once it powers back up factory reset it again

I've flashed and reset everything except the modem and radio, as I'm still searching for the files. Is there anyone with this device who could upload their's. It is the HTC desire 620, unlocked from H3G (Three).

Have you flashed all of the latest updates for your phone? I ask because if you've updated and you're using a previous version to try to fix your phone, that will not work.
