I don't know what I've done, i've installed the latest version of the original software released by HTC and the phone works fine, but I want to use one of the custom versions with the new OS Android. I created GoldCard and everything went smoothly, following the procedure, but at some point I could not go forward and I have tried other way and other procedures nothing at the end I managed to start the recovery Amon Ra 1.2 and there I know that I make the omelet because I did formatting my SD (ext2, swap and fat32) of the original phone (not the GoldCard) and till then ok but abfter i flash a file found on the SD called img img .. ... DC83 or similar I not remember exactly , was a file to be installed before putting the Superd. Restartinbg the cell remains locked on vodafone screen and does not go ahead I tried to enter fastboot and nothing in recovery (red button + home button until the appearance of the triangle) but nothing, I tried Vol- and red button nothing, remains stopped on the red screen Vodafone!
Please Help me!!!
It's bricked!
My phone is in warranty period if i send in assistance they repair my phone u think?
why not ... you'll see after
Who tries not, nothing gained
Dear forum,
I kind of hesitated to start a thread for my problem, but after a long time I still haven't found a solution. I have contacted HTC (no answer yet), but hope to resolve my problem in meanwhile instead of waiting 1 month+ for a replacement.
I got the -by now familiar- freeze, and after rebooting it would go beyond the HTC logo, then stay stuck in a backlit black screen mode. Tried removing the battery, sim card, sd card etc. Then decided to boot into recovery (vol down + power) which worked, but any option would freeze the phone, like factory reset which I tried first.
Right now, the phone already freezes at the carrier logo, and I can't even get into recovery again (vol down + power). The phone won't respond to the key presses, and eventially boot and freeze at the carrier logo. The weird thing is that before, after a lot of trying and re-inserting the battery, it would eventually boot and work just fine for about 1 in 10 tries.
Does anyone have any ideas what I could try? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
edit: Okay, after a while I finally managed to get into HBoot again! Now what should I do to get my phone resetted/fixed? I guess it's not possible for me to flash another ROM or something as i'm not rooted. Details shown are: S-OFF, HBOOT 98.0002
can you get into recovery from bootloader?
Seems like I now consistently can boot into HBOOT. When I choose recovery, it will reboot, show the carrier logo, show the green logo with circular arrows, and then switch to the phone logo with a red exclamation mark for two seconds. Then, it shuts off. Also, when I tried that just now, it buzzed for like 6 times very fast after turning off.
On the second try, exactly the same happened: red exclamation mark, screen off, +- 6 fast buzzes.
After doing that, it doesn't respond to vol down+power or power at all. After reinserting the battery, I can get back into HBOOT
edit: it didn't want to boot into HBOOT, but now it does again. Anyhow, chosing recovery is still green logo, red logo, screen off and some buzzes. The phone doesn't show up in "adb devices" neither.
Whatever you are going to do; do not root your device as it will void your warrenty.
Is there anything else i can try doing? The situation so far:
-normal boot just stays stuck into carrier logo
-hboot->recovery gives a reboot, green logo, switch to red logo, screen off and +- 6 fast buzzes, then nothing. Needs battery reinsertion to be able to respond to vol down + power again
-hboot->factory reset just freezes on the same screen, no response, needs battery removal
-noshow in adb devices (update: show in fastboot!)
Another update: after messing arround with the drivers which didn't seem properly installed, I know have my device showing up in "fastboot devices".
Please, I feel like I'm so close to fixing this. What could I do next? Fastboot in some different recovery with more options or something? Anyone?
Could I simply run the RUU for my 3UK branded phone now?? If I get the RUU from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002506, it seems that the RUU is "signed", which would result in S-ON? While right now my phone is S-OFF?
edit: So, I ran the proper RUU, it will find my device, propose me to downgrade from 1.47 something to 1.37 or so. Click next. Then it stays on the "rebooting the bootloader" phase indefinitely

Slow down maxxur, wait for this quesstion to be out there for long enough for someone to answer it.
Dont go on a battery pulling spree, coz that is the first and most tempting response on a frozen phone. But i hope you know what that can do to this phone...
Give the xda community some time to figure this out. Hold your ground till then. Need to go in to the theatre now. Will get back in the evening and try to figure this out.
Try running the RUU while in the fastboot menu (usb mode). Also my suggestion is not to make the process more complicated by downgrading - just reflash 1.47...
Thanks for the response guys
The RUU I found was 1.37. Could you point me to a 1.47 RUU for the 3UK network?
Also, running that RUU when in Fastboot USB mode is what I tried. The info on the RUU shows that it hangs indefinitely at "rebooting bootloader". That is expected, as when I try to manually reboot bootloader in my fastboot menu, my phone will also freeze.
I'm wondering if running a different recovery image could be of any help? Last night I tried running CWM recovery to see my options, by entering "fastboot boot recovery.img" but i'd get a "remote: not allow" error.
Have not noticed that you are not rooted!
Why don't you try the revolutionary tool? If you have luck it will restore your bootloader if it is broken (keep in mind that is not the best option because it will break you warranty). Then you will just need to flash an eng hboot and run the RUU, or better try some custom ROM
But in my opinion the best option for you is to go for a replacement rather to try yourself, since you dont have any custom software on it it has to be covered by your warranty (probably it is a faulty device to go like this from nothing).
Thanks for the suggestion. Are there any other safer options for me?
Could I try extracting the rom.zip from the RUU and manually put it on the SD card, then try to flash it in CWM recovery? Since "fastboot boot recovery" doesn't work though, could I try "fastboot flash recovery" to get CWM on there? Atm the "stock recovery" seems to be dead anyway, as when I choose it in HBOOT, the phone simply freezes.

Of course you can if you are eager to try this. When you run the RUU, even when there is no phone connected there is a folder in your C: drive created (I assume that you are using Windows). Open your Windows Explorer and search for the rom.zip. When you have it copy it somewhere and close the RUU screen. Then if you open the RUU all the *.img files are there. You can try flashing the stock recovery or hboot or whatewer using the fastboot command. But I have to say again the best option for you is to bring the phone for a repair before you end up with something irreversible and void your warranty.
Thanks for keeping me sane on what to do with my problem Mentally, I came to the point where I'd go flash CWM recovery on my phone and try to flash that RUU rom from there, but you helped me get around that thought and now I made arrangements for HTC to come and pick it up. I'll keep you guys posted!
PS: you've got to love our desire s community, it's the best.
Cheered too early
Now HTC suddenly responds that while entering my phone in their warranty service thingy and the phone seemed to be 3G UK branded, they told me they "can't" do repairs for those.
Seriously, HTC is trying to troll me saying the inner hardware could differ between a UK and a Belgian Desire S?? Could this be true in any way?? :/
Maybe some parts are cheaper but with the same parameters...but I thought that when you have a branded phone you should seek your warrancy support from the carrier's office?!?

Options for solution!
Option 1: Copy rom.zip (from RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.47.401.4_Radio_20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199410_signed) to your sd rename it to PG88IMG.zip and let m boot into hboot.
If option 1 is not ok try option 2.
Option 2: Boot in to fastboot connect it to your computer and on your computer open dos/terminal run fastboot oem rebootRUU then after that run ruu RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.47.401.4_Radio_20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199410_signed.
If option 2 not OK then there is option 3.
Option 3: Boot in to fastboot connect it to your computer and on your computer open dos/terminal run fastboot oem rebootRUU after that run in dos/terminal fastboot flash zip rom.zip (extracted from RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.47.401.4_Radio_20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199410_signed)
Let me know if one of these option worked for you if not I can help you with reflashing your hboot again.
NikMel,
Thank you so much for the tips. Currently I'm trying the first HBOOT + .ZIP method. It detected it, asked me to update and is now showing a pink "Updating" sign. How long should this normally take? I have a strong feeling it simply froze again, and it really turns out to be a hardware problem.
Is that updating next to radio?
If yes it will take realy long so wait!!
Hello I had a really nice Desire S running Virtuous ROM.
Unfortunately my GPS was not working well so I had to restore it to factory settings.
That means unrooting and S-On again.
I tried doing that running this from my desktop:
RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.5_Radio_20.4801.30. 0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_219480_signed
The whole process went well and the Program showed no problems updating my phone. Then it shows it was finished but my phone did no more than show a white screen with the green HTC logo.
Now I can only do volume down+power button I get all the details of how my warranty is void. Starting with showing Alpha rev and S-off. :-(
-Trying recovery ends up showing a phone with red triangle and exclamation mark
-Fastboot does not give me any useful options
-Factory reset just leads to the white screen with green HTC logo
-SIMLOCK Don't know what this is
-IMAGE CRC does things like calculating but then just goes back to menu.
Does anyone know what happened and what I can do to fix it?
I miss my phone already. :-(
Try to get PDXXX.IMG file(stock one) for your devices and load in your SD.
and then reboot with recovery. it will automatically update PDXXX.IMG
Are you making the selections in Hboot with the power button? If you make it with the trackpad (if the desire has one) that gives you the red triangle.
@outfront37
I was guessing the same.
It still reads my SD card in recovery but it will not accept any file names that are not predefined. That means I need the ROM in a zip format with the correct name and use it to recover.
Now I just need to figure out how to distract the zip image from the RUU.
have solved you problem, because i also want go to stock by using this ruu...
This tutorial worked for me!!

Well, if you have a rooted phone and you did a factory reset, then u messed things up a bit more. Anyway, get a rom file into the sdcard (using a sdcard reader) and then boot into hboot (power + volume down) choose recovery (if you don't see it choose bootloader) and then get into CWM or the custom recovery you have. Then flash the rom again...if you can't get into recovery then you will have to flash it again....once in recovery I guess you will know what to do....hope it helps...
My girlfriend took a bunch of pics on vacation with her Nexus 5, which now that she's home, won't boot, but instead just shows the flying coloured dots animation till the battery runs out of juice. The photos were not auto-uploaded or anything like that, they only exist on the phone.
It's a stock android, no mods, not unlocked, not rooted. Pretty sure it's on version 5.1.0 (LMY47D)
I can get it into fastboot and recovery modes. I can run fastboot and ADB from my (windows) computer to the phone (ADB only available in sideload mode from phone recovery boot's "Apply update from ADB" option).
I've tried using fastboot to boot other images on it, but that fails because the phone isn't unlocked (which I could do but that would wipe the photos)
I can try an ADB sideload (tried with zips from LMY47D, LMY47I, and LMY48B. They all fail at 0% transfered with the phone saying E:Footer is wrong E:signature verification failed
I've done plenty of Google-ing to get this far, but I'm out of ideas on how I can get the photos off the phone before factory resetting it, and I'm not quite sure where the best place to ask for help is.
Hello, and welcome to XDA! Can you not simply recover your pictures using your pc? Your "pictures" folder should be accessible, using a USB link. If not, then I recommend you ask your question here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help. You will need to register for that.
Good luck!
