Hi all.
I have a completely stock never-been-modified HTC One S that has started freezing on boot.
No, I never tried to root it, unlock the bootloader, or any other stuff.
I would like to get my data off it, but because I never rooted it, I can't extract said data using ADB (unless you know a trick that I don't).
My options seem to have come down to flashing something to get it to boot... ROM, kernel, radio, what do you think?
- I can get into Fastboot, Bootloader, Recovery, etc.
- I can ADB to the phone while it is boot-stuck (so probably not the kernel?).
I want to get my info off of it and if I can make it boot all the way in, that's an added bonus.
To that end, have you ever seen a 3.14.531.19 ROM that wasn't wrapped up in an RUU? I was willing to try RUU_Ville_U_JB_45_S_TMOUS_3.14.531.11_Radio_1.13.50.05.31_10.30.50.08L_release_309489_signed_ICS_2 but it says that it'll wipe all my info.
Here's my fastboot getvar all:

What say you?
If your phone is bootloader locked, S-ON with original recovery, you're out of luck... The complete boot sequence is secured and if you try to unlock, all data will be wiped off.
The only first step to get to your data would be to root without unlocking the phone, but I can't see how to do that if you can't start the OS.
One thing you can try is to get to the HTC recovery and wipe cache (I think this is possible).
Thanks for the reply.
I have already wiped the cache (forgot to mention that in the OP, sorry) and it didn't make a difference.
It sounds like what I was expecting to hear: My data are beyond recovery... Which is a bummer.
Anyone else have anything to add?
Some miracle cure, maybe?
I'm going to hold off on my attempt to unlock the bootloader another few days in case someone has a suggestion to offer.
A final bump in the hope that someone might have a solution.
Thanks!

I have a HTC desire that was running Cyanogen and was rooted with revolutionary.io, but as I needed to unlock this phone I have had to go back to stock (apparently I could not unlock it with this Cyanogen ROM).
I have managed to get the phone back to S-on, but I cannot update any stock HTC ROM onto it now.
When I try to install the the standard Euro Desire S ROM (RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.11_M_release_177977_signed), I get the error 131 customer id error

Any ideas on how I get the stock Desire S to run on this phone would be appreciated, as currently I can only get into the boot screen
Remove your imei and serial no.
I think we can assume your still soft with hboot 0.98 , try checking it in hboot.
Any reason why u want to return to stock? Custom roms are better and more stable, unless u are doing some troubleshooting no point in going back stock.
If your hboot is still s-off with 0.98 , update your hboot, make sure u have a custom recovery, then start flashing a rom.
Cheers
FromTheDesiredS
Removed the serial and IMEI....thank for the heads up!
I am needing to return to stock, as I need to unlock the phone. I have the code to unlock, but under the Cyanogen rom I was running the phone lept saying that the code had been accepted, but did not unlock. Infact I discovered that I could enter any code, and got that message, without unlocking. The company that supplied the code informed me that the phone needs to be running a stock rom for this code to work.
The hboot is now s-on.....does this give me a problem?
I was considering sending this phone to JTAG specialist for repair. Would this be necessary, or is there something that I could do to recover this situation?

First reason why it fail is because ur "version-main" is 1.47 and the ruu that ur trying to flash is 1.28, u cant downgrade.
Second reason is that ur locked to orange so u cant use a europe ruu, u will have to use orange branded ruu.
Either find the orange ruu 1.47 or above and flash it but if u use one above then u will have downgrade after to achive s-off. Theres guides here in dev thread on how to do it. Or u can create a goldcard and then use a wwe/europe ruu, the goldcard bypasses the cid check of the ruu. All guides r here on xda, just search, im on my phone cant post links. (i could but its easier on laptop)
This morning when I woke up my phone began to bootloop without anything but me turning on the screen. At first it would happen every few minutes but it has progressed to happening whenever it isnt in bootloader.
So far I have tried flashing a new rom, but then the phone began to bootloop in the middle of recovery, which is something Ive never had to deal with before. From there I figured the problem is further down and I tried to flash a new recovery to no success. now to where I am,
I can flash a recovery, but when entering it it takes me back to bootloader. The odd thing is, if I let it boot normally, after a few boot loops, the phone will boot rom with safemode to a half broken rom that will bootloop after a minute. I tried flashing stock boot and recovery but that didnt work either. Finally ive been flashing new firmware and boot imgs with it making no difference. What else can i try?

When your phone boots up and before it reboots... Does it appear to get network signal at all?
Have you tried one of my ruu yet?

Thanks for the quick reply
Yes, it seemed to have connected to the network, in the few seconds i have, i went to settings and it was.
i tried the files from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2723159 if that matters,
I tried to use your auto ex for the ruu but it would not work ill try it manually in a little bit
UPDATE: Flashing the RUU seems to have solved my problem, i could boot into recovery and there werent any bootloops. Thanks for the suggestion, I was running out of ideas
ONE XL AT&T(Evita) How to add super CID or unlock forcefully or alternate methods?
After trying CM11-12, I ended up in an android.phone stopped working "loop"(which happened to every rom I tested in different flavors )... To make story short, I have the "brilliant" idea to flash a RUU... and I ended up relocking. Seems I missed that I had edit(downgrade?) my "version-main" or something, because when trying to flash the ruu it said that my version is lower than mine or something. I'm also S-on, although I think I can access SU # with ADB(although it stops working sometimes)
Current status of phone:
can only go to fastboot mode
tampered
relocked
S-ON
Previous Unlock_code.bin I had is not working
Can not get new Unlock_code.bin because I fastboot is unable to write 11111111 or w/e
tried to hex /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 but it's not in that directory .. I did cd/ls to it and really isn't there
tried running ruu*.exe from windows but it says that my phone charge is less than 30% (I'm sure it's got more though...)
tried flashing the rom inside this but failed due version --RUU_EVITA_UL_ICS_40_S_Cingular_US_2.20.502.7_Radio_0.19as.32.09.11_2_10.105.32.25L_release_271865_signed.exe
tried flashing the rom inside this but it failed due being "image too large" (700+mb)

What can I do to fix my device? At this point I don't mind which rom as long as I can take calls...
--Edit: Right now my main objective would be getting super CID/unlock and from there I would have more options .... So please if anyone have recomendations to get that, given my phone's condition, it will be greatly appreciated
Hello,
I will try to explain what happened, although I am not sure... I tried to root my phone so I can do a data recovery as I lost all data... at this stage phone still rooted fine, no contacts, no sms, no nothing... it looked like a factory reset.
1. I used htcdev to unlock bootloader
2. I flashed recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.6-m4.img to try and load the superuser.zip to root my phone... I tried several zips, but none of them rooted it... I had to use adb through: cmd C:\Program Files (x86)\HTC\HTC Sync Manager\HTC Sync>, at this stage phone still booted normally and no problems... so I used adb push to install zips to root it... none of them worked...
3. I realized that it might be the clockwork recovery that is the problem, so I decided to change the recovery to TWRP... and this when something went wrong as the phone wouldn't reboot into normal mode anymore, only bootloader... I though giving it a factory reset would solve the issue, so I did... nothing happened...
4. I managed to flash twrp-2.8.7.0-m4.img recovery and discovered that there is no OS and basically apart from the bootloader theres nothing else on the phone...
I understand that I need to do a RUU flash, however I cannot find the one I need. I followed this thread, however I cannot seem to find the RUU that I need
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc...-official-stock-sense-6-rom-firmware-t2817921
I also tried fastboot flash zip sense6_firmware.zip, it cannot do it... gives me a fail error...
and now I am stuck as adb doesnt work to push files from either the unlock folder, nor the htc sync one or C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>
This is my first root attempt (maybe I shouldn't do one and won't in the future ) as you can see, but maybe I am just missing something very obvious and easy...
I'd like to get the original soft back on the phone but even if its still stored on it, I don't know how to get to it and make it work...

Looks like we have the same version... Honestly, I spent so much time on trying to S-off it and fix it, I think I'll just give up... I found a UK based service that does it for £20... not sure it's worth the time and effort to fix it ourselves... if you're UK based, msg me and I'll give you the details if you're interested!
Hi there, if you unlock the boot loader you will wipe all data from your phone. You confirmed that with the swipe to agree unlock. Recover your data might be difficult but you can give it a try even from Recovery itself.
The easiest way to get your phone back to work is the appropriate RUU for it, but with unlocked boot loader and TWRP booted you can try to put the ROM via USB on the Phone. Flash it via TWRP and since you where S-ON you need to flash the boot.img for your chosen ROM manually the same way you did it for recovery (fastboot flash boot boot.img). If your boot.img does not do well with your ROM you will get into a boot loop. hope this helps.
Hello dear XDA users,
today I am looking for some help to get my HTC One M8 working again.
Let me explain my situation:
So a year ago or so, I decided to root my phone to unlock it's full potential. I wasn't really experienced, since it was
the first time I did it, so I just follwed a tutorial and used this rootkit. It worked well and my phone was rooted. Since then, I didn't really pay
much attention to it and decided not to mess around with it anymore. Recently I wanted to update my phone, since I
didn't do that since I had rooted it, because it wouldn't let me. I think I may have been because I had TWRP instead of the default recovery. Well, I wanted to remove that and naive me decided just to press the factory reset. After that, some strange things started to happen. First of all, my phone wasn't rooted anymore, which to be honest, I kind of expected. When I plugged it into my computer and tried getvar all, it didn't show my version-main anymore and sometimes not even my CID. Also, my TWRP folder wasn't showing anymore. I tried to use TWRP to repair the all partitions and also tried formatting data, but to no avail.
I want to restore the phone to a state where bootloader is locked, it's not rooted, where it's S-ON and it's OS is up-to-date.
I've been searching for a way to fix my problem for 4 days now, but I havn't found any way.
