[Q] Phone won't boot

Hi,
Just recently changed my phone from Desire to Desire S. I rooted and S-Off'ed using Revolutionary. Everything was fine for the last day. Phone is still new so wanted to run the battery down till flat then recharge fully to calibrate it.
Turned my phone on this morning and it just stays at the white HTC logo screen. Tried to boot into 4ext recovery and it start loading up. It then reads system 0 cache 0 and the recovery crashes.
Tried to use factory reset option from bootloader and it freezes. Had to pull battery.
Tried to wipe everything using Fastboot commander. Fails erasing cache, sytem, etc.
What do I do now?
It was working fine yesterday even rebooted it a couple of times and it was fine. But can't get it to do anything this morning.

HBOOT-6.98.1002
RADIO-3805.06.02.03_M
eMMC-boot
Please help.
Thanks

What I would do is to go to HBOOT and flash new Clockworkmod (or any other recovery tool) from the Android Flasher.
Android Flasher: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794638
CWM: http://downloads.saga-lbc-mod.de/recovery-images/PG88IMG-RECOVERYIMG-3.2.0.0.zip
Just connect the phone to PC via USB and start Android Flasher (while in HBOOT). Click recovery and choose unzipped recovery.img (from the PG88IMG file). If your new recovery is working just mount USB storage (in recovery), put some ROM there and install zip from sdcard.
I guess you can try to fix this differently, but this is the fastest method if you don't know what exactly is wrong.

Thanks for the quick reply.
It didn't work. Android Flasher crashes. Just says not responding.
Any other ideas?

I also get these errors in recovery:
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
Is my eMMC dead? Don't understand what its all about.
Is it fixable?
Thanks

Seriously, a quick look in the general's section will land you to the correct guide about it:
[GUIDE] Possible FIX for the infamous eMMC problem..
Note: I INTENTIONALLY did not link the guide so YOU will be searching for it.
Check the guide on my sig first.

I did follow all the instructions in the guide. Can't even get adb to recognise my device.
Fastboot freezes whenever I use any commands.
Can't flash anything.

I have been through a similar prblem recently. Ensure you're in recovery to utilise the adb shell (this flummoxed me for hrs lol)
If it's emmc related try the following to verify whether the chip is defective.
Ensure you are in recovery when utilising the adb shell (this took me hrs to work out as my device wasn't listed!) I was in fastboot ot Hboot mode.
To be sure that you really are effected by the emmc issue (and not other partition corruption issues that show similar symptoms) you have to look at the kernel messages when booted to clockworkmod recovery. Do to this boot the phone into recovery and then (in and adb shell) issue the following command:
Code:
cat /proc/kmsg | grep mmc0
or
Code:
dmesg | grep mmc0
If you see output like (not necessarily in this order) :
Code:
mmc0: failed to get card ready
mmc0: reinit card
mmc0: Starting deferred resume
mmc0: Deferred resume failed
then you are effected by this issue.
Basically the emmc chip does not initialize any more after the first attempt to access it in write mode.
Based on our current knowledge this is a hardware issue and can not be cured.

You need adb setup for this, use one of the stickys to get started with adb
1, start up adb and type these in.
Code:
adb reboot recovery
2, after the device starts up in recovery, enter this
Code:
adb shell
3, and then this, your serial number should come up after mmc0:0001
Code:
cat /proc/kmsg | grep 'mmc0:0001'
It looks like M4G2DE 2.10 GiB is the bad one, judging from what the #G2root devs say, but lets see what our side is.
Thanks
And unfortunaly I got the bad one too, rooted with gfree, this is what I got
<6>[ 8.328460] mmcblk0: mmc0:0001 M4G2DE 2.10 GiB

Thanks for the reply.
I just gave up in the end and got a replacement from Orange.
Thanks

[Completed] [Q] bricked htc-corrupted partitions

Hi,it all started after i flashed TWRP in my HTC sensation xe(i had 4EXT recovery),then i wanted to flash a new rom but something happened and my htc freezed and then i pulled out the battery and inserted it,i turned it On but then it couldn't mount the system,cache,data.One of my friends managed to flash again the 4EXT recovery and told me that my partitions are corrupted.I tried some metjods with adb but nothing happened,
</tmp/mkfs.ext4 -b 4096 -O ^huge_file,^dir_nlink,^ext_attr,^resize_inode,^extra_isize -m 0 /dev/block/mmcblk0p37> but it says <no such file or directory>
and also tried this <parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 mkfs ext2> but it says <can't have overlapping partitions>

It appears like your Partition table is corrupted and needs to be rebuilt. Please try flashing the Stock Firmware.
