Have I bricked my Desire S? [SOLVED]

I believe I may have bricked my Desire S also.
I rooted my Desire S through the official HTC method. (I have since relocked)
I then attempted to flash a custom ROM.
The custom ROM (Reaper 2.2) got stuck in (what I believe to be a boot loop) so I attempted to revert to the backup I made - that failed.
I did manage to get CyanogenMod 7 working but with missing functionality
Now I could not get beyond the white HTC screen (or the Black screen with the circle/number pattern on Reaper)
My desire S originally was on Vodafone (Ireland)
Whem I try to load the error is:
SD Checking
Loading...[PG88DIAG.zip]
No image!
Loading...[PG88DIAG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!

I have spent hours upon hours trawling through forums, posts and guides but nothing has worked.
I have tried RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.080 5U_38.03.02.11_M_release_177977_signed.exe and got error [170]:device not detected and I have tried from the command line via fastboot....
I really need help here please.
OR is my Desire S totally bricked beyond repair

If you unlock with htcdev, you need to extract the boot.img from your desired ROM and flash manually through adb after flashing the ROM. I'm 99% sure this will solve your problem. And you'll have to do this each time you flash a new ROM, or backup.
if you s-off your phone rather than using htcdev, you would not suffer from this procedure.
Don't be afraid, there is no brick

this and bootloader need to be ****unlocked**** in order to boot custom rom, and ***re-locked*** when installing RUU

Thanks for the reply's guys.
I managed to get the RUU working this evening but the phone was still ***unlocked***... I got some error (didn't make note of it)
I will re-read both posts when I am not so tired and try the suggestions
Thanks again
(I will post my results)

Ok, now I think I really have messed it up
I tried to flash RUU to the phone and now I cant get recovery to mount the sd card.
Can anyone suggest which RUU I should be using as the RUU app told me I was using the wrong image
I am totally at my wits end....I cannot even go back to the CyanogenMod rom

Did you read what I wrote?? Do what I said or search forum about that if you need more information. It is definitely necessary, you won't succeed without flashing boot.img separately.

I am so sorry, I did try to flash the boot.img but it didn't seem to work....
Am I right in my understanding: go to the .zip file >> open in win zip>> extract boot.img to the adb folder >> fastboot flash boot.img?

YEs that sounds about right, although the full command is
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

Thank you both for the reply's.
I will try this when I sober up in the morning

Now that I am sober I want to thank eyahl, nenad_l and ben_pyett for your input.
I managed to get the rom working last night (drunk and all as I was )
I am now running a MIUI rom
Baseband version: 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M
I need to ask a couple more questions if I may?
The interface is not what I am used to and don't particularly like it. It reminds me of the UI I had on my old Galaxy I9000. Is this as a result of my kernel version?
Kernel version: [email protected]#1 Thur Oct 6 14:48:57 BST 2011
My understanding of what I have done by flashing the boot.img is that my kernel is that of the rom from where the boot.img was taken and the MIUI rom sits atop - is this correct?
So if I extract a boot.img from a different rom and then flash I will have a different kernel version and subsequently return my UI to (SENSE) that I'm more familiar to?
Sorry for the n00b questions but I am only learning about this at the moment
Thanks guys

No problem, and your understanding is not really correct, the UI is determined by the ROM not the boot image (which is ultimately the kernel), so to get sense back you need to flash a sense ROM like Endy
Every time you flash a new ROM simply flash the associated boot
You shouldn't flash a boot from one ROM under another, it's not mix and match, well that's not completely true.
Swyped form ym Dersie S unsig XAD Permuim

Thanks Ben.
I will look for the 'Endy' rom you suggested.
Ok, so I dl the zip, extract the boot.img, write it from cmd and then flash the rom like normal?
I find it very frustrating to find roms.....almost every time I select a rom to dl I'm redirected to a bad link or to a referral to another referral etc....
If anyone has a source for roms please post it!

Best source for roms is the development section here at desire s xda. Just look through the threads, you will find good quality and stable roms. Endy=endymion ROM
You can look to the index thread, additionally zac made a torrent thread where you can find torrents for the most used roms
Sent by my fingers to your head.

Thanks eyahl
I have dl Endy and will try it now.
I'll have a look where you suggested
Thanks

You must wipe your device (all partitions except sd) prior to each ROM flash

Updated TWRP 2.7.0.0 for Ville

It worked great for me. I just tested it with a back up and restore from internal as well as an OTG cable.
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2

What rom you have?
I know that for some 4.2.2 rom is better to keep the modified twrp 2.6.1.0

Here you can find a modified version of the latest TWRP that works correctly on hboot 2.16, which have the data/media storage partition in the same system partition.

Yep, thank you! Works just fine for me.

I've installed Liberty ROM 6b and hboot is 2.16. which one is proper for my device?

The version for hboot 2.16:
/data/media storage partition (HBOOT 2.16.0000 only)
twrp-2.7.0.5-ville-dm.img (9 MB)

There are a lot of issue with this recovery because since /sdcard is on /data/media and there is no symlink to /sdcard, than a lot of installer and aroma installer will fail during zip flashing...
also it would be nice if backup is done like 2.6.1.0 (accessible from sdcard/TWRP/backups)
and also it would be nice if the default directory points to /sdcard and not /

I'm having issues with mounting to usb with this version of twrp. It wont connect via ADB or as a storage device =/

Did you flash the correct version for your boot? Also note that no recovery for 2.16 will be able to mount as usb due to new partition layout which is not fat32 anymore. You can mount a usb otg or otherwise use adb sideload feature (google it). This is not the fault of the dev.

Your latest unofficial twrp is working great for me on the 2.16 hboot. Stable so far and when I reboot to system there are no multiple reboots or other issues.
Have you thought about posting the link in the htc one s development forum? A lot of folks who may be interested tend to view that subforum more than this one. Also I had a bit of trouble downloading the link. I had to tell my browser to download the target and had to rename to .img as it was originally trying to download and open as a webpage.

This recovery works great also for me, but i'm not the developer of this mod.

T-Mobile HTC One S won't enter recovery
I flashed openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-ville.img onto my t-mobile htc one s (i wish i knew the model number i think it may be the pj40100 or the z520e or both, the z520e pj40100 and i'm running hboot 2.15.0 with bootloader unlocked s-on After flashing i rebooted the bootloader and then tried to go into recovery but the phone just goes into a loop of failed system boot attemps and the white htc quietly brilliant screen just goes on and off over and over until i hold down the power button long enough to power down the phone Phone has a brand new battery that I used another phone to fully charge What could be the problem?

Maybe you have to delete twrp-folder from SD card and retry...

I flashed this to my One S T-Mobile but phone can't enter recovery

I've got exactly the same problem with my HTC ONE S ville. Cannot get TWRP 2.7.1.2 or any newer version to work, only bootloop. Just wanted to install cm11 on H-Boot 2.15 unlocked, S-OFF :crying::crying:

Unfortunately no luck at all. The only Recovery I got to work is "openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-ville-selinux.img" but this one is to old to flash new roms. I can flash CM10 with it, but it is also not booting. Here are the details of my phone:

I send it to a specialist (someone with a Riff Box xD), because I bricked the bootloader (QHUSB_DLOAD). I got the phone back with unlocked super cid hboot 2.15. That are very good prerequisites, but as I said no Recovery works for me. No Philz, no offical or inoffical twrp. This device is the first one in my "carrier" that is really frustrating me...

First: Please delete your serial number and your imei. Just for your own safety.
And second: As your "fastboot getvar all" output states your phone is on hboot 1.09 and not 2.15. So that's the culprit for your problems.
Just flash a RUU that corresponds to your CID and update your phone to the latest firmware version using the OTA function of the stock rom. If you can't find a suitable RUU get S-OFF by flashing a Sense based rom and using either rumrunner or facepalm. After that you will be able to use every RUU you want. If you use facepalm just be careful not to install OTAs before you undo SuperCID or you will brick your phone.
P.S.: Maybe there's a faster method to solve your problems but that's actually what I would do.

Thank you for the advice, normally I delete those data but it was to late for thinking clearly xD
The vars I posted were the ones before I bricked the phone. I got it back with the values I described after that. But I was not able to update TWRP and in general not able to boot any ROM flashed with old TWRP. But after one week of pain I found this awesome Thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2751518 the RUU updated the whole phone to Hboot 2.16 and suddenly I was able to install TWRP 2.8.5.5-ville and flash the special Hboot 2.16 version of cm11. I had to flash boot.img manually, because S-OFF was gone after RUU update, no big deal. I'm happy now =)

[Q] Q: Soft Brick Sprint HTC One M7 (nightmare)

Hello Community,
Let me begin by apologizing if I am in the wrong forum channel. I am new to the site kind of. I mostly sift through answers.
In this case I have not found anyone with my problem cause the wouldn't make the rookie mistake of forgetting to take a backup BEFORE flashing junk on their fancy phones.
Resources: I have latest TWRP, can access it and bootloader
Problem: :crying:
I have an HTC One M7 from Sprint. Currently all user data has been formatted (cause I am genius). I am able to lock and unlock bootloader. My phone is in S-ON (another dumb mistake I know). The device is recognized in fastboot but not in ABD and I cant figure out why not. superuser was deleted by the wipe. :crying:
Solutions Tried but Failed:
I have download the RUU for my phone (or at least I think *651.10 and *651.7) and tried to run the setup.exe in admin mode while my phone was locked in fastboot... This resulted in an Error:155
I have tried flashing the same RUU from cmd prompt... this resulted in remote 12: signature error (still dont know what that means)
I have tried achieving S-OFF but alas I cant get my device to be recognized by ABD, I dont have an OS for internet/radio signal
I am starting to think I may have just effed everything up.

As long as you're S-ON you may only flash a RUU thats the same version or newer as installed on your phone. The RUUs you tried are older than the installed firmware. A backup that yu can restore via recovery should work.
Have you been on Android 4.3? This is the latest available RUU -> http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_M7_WL_JB43_SENSE50_SPCS_MR_Sprint_WWE_3.04.651.2_Radio_1.00.20.0913_3_NV_SPCS_4.38_003_release_335355_signed_2.exe

You probably have manually changed or deleted files. I never suggested to do so! You can easily open temp by typing %temp% ! The files are just accessable while the RUU is opened.

I have checked the RUU. Its locked to extract recovery. I'm just downloading the decrypted version. Just have some patientce. I'll post link as soon as i can
EDIT:
Here is the right firmware (It conatins e.g. recovery.img) --> LINK
And I just minded that THIS is the latest RUU.
Please download both files. Just calm down, your phone will be fine again soon
Installation:
1. connect your phone in fastboot mode
2. flash the "recovery.img" contained in the "firmware.zip" via fastboot (Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img)
3. Reboot bootloader (Fastboot reboot-bootloader)
4. Re-lock bootloader (Fastboot oem lock)
5. Reboot bootloader (Fastboot reboot-bootloader)
6. Run the RUU while phone is still connected
7. Thats all. If you proceed in the described way, your phone will be and fully working again

Can you get into the bootloader? If you can, you can flash TWRP recovery via fastboot and flash a custom Rom with the recovery.

Yes

Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292432 . Read through and find the recovery there. It is pretty well explained there. I am on my mobile so I am not sure of the link will take you to the first page. It is on the first page. Make sure you get the correct recovery for your phone model.

Original rom
Where i can get original ROM for HTC ONE SV LTE k2ul_4.2.2_3.11.401.1 ???

That I do not know, but if my memory serves me right, there was a thread either in android development or general sections with the latest OTAs. You might wanna search for that...

You've already got the link to my index thread, but it seems you are to lazy to have a look at it. You even only need to watch for the software number and you will easily find what you are searching for.

Os intallation failed
i tried to install OTA update through TWRP recovery , but it failed

You can't flash this in recovery. Use TWRP recovery and flash the rom (not the Ota). Links are in my index thread.

Installed rom
Sucessfully instaled Viper SV rom,
but still phone did not booting,

Did you also flash boot.img of the rom in fastboot?

no

You can't get S-off, without working OS.
You don't have an OS anymore on your phone?
Are you running a custom recovery like TWRP?
Run this fastboot cmd and copy the output here (remove your imei & serial number):
Code:
fastboot getvar all

I flashed TWRP and I make restore, but phone won't start anyway. Maybe need to flash new os?

Flash the stock rom in TWRP, and don't forget to flash boot.img of the rom in fastboot.
Links are in my index thread.
Make a backup in recovery (just in case) and a wipe (advanced -> everything except int & ext sdcard) before.

Something I make wrong. I flashed TWRP, then installed ViperSV, phone restarted and booted TWRP. Then I found boot.img in yours index thead.
Then in fastboot flashed new boot, but phone still booting in TWRP. What I make wrong?

You need to flash the boot.img thats inside the ViperSV.zip, not any from my index thread.

probably you need to update your recovery version but i suggest to use 4ext recovery
http://d-h.st/rG7
extract the recovery.img and flash it via fastboot command

@rzr86 hi..thank for answer
is that file a zip or application ? who to extract it ?
and then do I do the room again or what ?

@rzr86

4ext not configured and it ask me for 4etx updater.....and as far i know this can only done by play store...

Dont worry bout that warning, just press ok. Its just when u get the app u have a few more settings/options to play with.
When u flash a rom make sure in recovery u go to wipe/format and format all partitions except sdcard then flash the rom. The rom should boot no problem then.

@jmcclue
Oky I ignore it I flash rom by install from zip sd card ...it reboot and get back to the recovery screen
and get the same message :
The recovery has not been configured! Use 4etx Recovery Control or the free app updater.which is available on 4etx.net to setup the recovery and to unlock configurable features.
Hints: check out recovery setting
and I chose power off from recovery and switch on after that and always it get me back to that screen
also when i go to Info>i can see the
Current rom: Android Revolution HD 7.3 X

Click the "download now" button and it downloads as .zip file, i just checked. The recovery u have installed is not the latest but that doesnt matter when ur flashing ARHD.
Steps... Go to
Wipe/format
Format all partitions except sdcard
Flash rom
Reboot
It should boot but u MUST format all partitions except sdcard, not just cache or that because that does not wipe the system partition.
