Major issue... Help required - HTC Desire S

Hi All
just decided to start and reuse my desire s but hit a snag...
It will not boot..
Booted into recovery (twrp 2.8.7.1) and says no os... Thought no problem will download and copy to sd card. did that and then discovered that Twrp didn't see the sd card so tried 6 different ones(all working in other devices). Still no joy!!!! Ok so I thought I would flash a different recovery nope not happening the PC and laptop does NOT recognise it when in bootloader! Yet it can be seen when in recovery(can't copy to it thought)..
I am now at a loss as to what happen or what to do next as trying an RUU.exe fails as it requires a BOOTED phone!
Any ideas and help would be most welcome right now.
thank you
regards
Lohtse

Can't flash ROM : no connection via ActiveSync and bootloader won't work_ HELP

Hi Help me pls,
I've tried to flash my rom via ActiveSync. Every thing went well until i get the progress bar then it got stuck at 0% for ages so i disconnect the whole thing and tried to restart the process.
NOW I CAN'T ACTIVESYNC ANYMORE !!!! but the connection as "memory card reader" still working.
I went through all the post and tried to flash the ROM via bootloader with the "RAPHIMG.nbh" in my SD card ( already formated FAT32 ) but every time the PDA got stuck at the first stage "loading".
HELP ME PLEASE

It sounds like you did not carefully read this.
That is also where this should have been posted. A new thread should not be started for this type of issue. I understand you are panicing. However, in almost all situations the phone can be recovered.
That said, Hold volume down and hit the reset button. It will put you in the tricolor screen. In the white it says serial. Connect it to your usb cord. It should now say usb. Now flash the STOCK rom.
be sure that battery over 50% then follow arupphental's

go to bootloader (tricolor on screen)& flash a rom, your PPC 'll be fine. when you flash ROM, PC transfer data through USB to PPC therefor not need connect by activesync.
I had the same problem after a faulty ROM from Vodafone NL, what I had to do is before I wanted to flash my ROM do a hard reset on my device (please back-up your personal data before doing this). After the hard reset, I could get a stable connection with activesync and flash my ROM
While the circumstances are different, my advice is still the same: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=481527

Stumbled upon this.. and yes the advise is good, when you run the flashing utility (i.e. CustomRUU.exe), it says you need an Active Sync connection, but you really dont, you can flash it anyway, it seems to find the device via USB regardless.
ufff!!!! to me yes found right, thank you thank you to first post. (flashing from SD)
Undetected
Well i had the problem where my phone wasnt getting detected at all.... i put the stock rom and radio but couldnt put stock spl on the phone with sdcard.... after trying different computers/usb wires/settings i returned it for a new one and this one works fine.

PLEASE help me save my phone!

My phone is T-mobile Wing Hera110 with IPL:4.26.0002 and SPL:4.26.0000.
I flashed succesfully my phone with a cooked herald rom with USPL (flash center) and worked ok.
When i tried to do same thing again for bad luck the phone disconnected from cable and after this the battery came off during the flashing procedure.
Now the phone can only show the bootloader (red,green,blue) image and nothing else.
I tried with originals roms that i downloaded from here and i get 270 error or 294 error.The roms were not corrupted i beleive.
What can i do to flash again my phone with original or anything ????
Thanks a lot guys and keep the good work!

look , just try different roms and would you tell me what is your PC OS ??? some windows like 7 need to get the USB driver from internet to let the pc know the ppc as an external usb device , so make sure the icon above near the clock that says "remove safty appears to make sure they are both connected.you did not brick your phone as far as you see the three color screen shows up, check the things i mentioned and keep me update
i encountered the same problem somehow and i could not flash through flashcenter so i tried to flash with SD memory and it worked for me , make sure the name of the rom is right and also try flashing with another sd memory ,the last step i know is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=417930
I use pc with windows xp sp2 and a small icon that says "remove safty" appears when the phone is connected. I tried many official roms like (TMo_Wing_RUU_Update_4.26.531.4.exe,HTC_P4350_WWE_4.17.405.2_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship.exe,T-Mobile Wing Software_4.26.531.1.exe,RUU_Atlas_TMO_US_4[1].10.531.3_4.1.13.37_02.83.90_Ship.exe,RUU_Herald_HTC_WWE_5.4.405.1_4.1.13.34_02.79.90_Ship.exe ) and i get error in 1% or 2% .

Help me get out of this situation, Pls help me if u know how to get out of this probl

I've sensation Xe which has problem. This device was given me as a gift from one of my friend.
The main problem with this device is pc doesnot recognize it. I've tried with 3 pcs, different cables, factory reset,
changed micro sd card, checked the device in usb mode, checked ask me before connecting device etc, i mean every possible
solutions out there.. My main concentration is even when i try new pc there is no response from pc like any sound or like
installing driver for pc.
The device charges through usb. I've installed latest htc sync for my device.
I've heard about usb bricking but i don't know whether it is related to my problem,. Every thing ,except connection with pc , is
working fine.
And other thing is my phone is s-on, unrooted, locked bootloader, lates ics 4.0.3, 1.27.00, stock recovery.
My phone is never rooted or unlocked , so my guess is my friend updated to ics through ota.
Now beside solution to above related problem , it'll be kind if anyone help me with a guide to
flash custom rom, it may help to sort my problem. Pls remember to flash custom rom
i need to do something before like unlock bootloader s-off etc. As usb is not working in my device, so i think
flashing custom rom in my situation is little difficult. please help me to get ot of this problem.
Sorry for my bad englist as english is not my mother tounge.
You could always put the sdcard into a card reader or another phone, copy the files across then apply the update? Could be a corrupt MISC partition (IIRC) this used to happen on the Legend.
To apply an update you would have to extract rom.zip from a RUU. To do this you need to download a RUU and run it (with no phone connected) open task manager on windows (CTRL+SHIFT+ESC) look out for ARUwizard.exe, go through the RUU clicking next untill the ARUwizard pops up then right click it, choose open file location and scroll down to ROM.zip copy this file to desktop. Rename it to PG58IMG.zip make sure its not PG58IMG.zip.zip as that wont work. Copy to sdcard then turn phone on using power and volume down, it will scan the sdcard (hopefully) find the file and start updating. A reflash could well repair the problem

Hi,
You can flash custom ROM with s-on.
Look HERE
Try installing THESE DRIVERS then see if your pc recognizes your phone.
Check my signature for many links to s-offing ,if you want to go that way.

TF300T can't startup anymore

Something went wrong while flashing CWM on my TF300T. It showed successful in cmd window on pc, but the statusbar on my pad kept showing 100% but nothing happend (no message or automaticly rebooting). After waiting 10 minutes or so, I turned off the device and restarted it.
Now the device is not started up anymore, keeps stuck on message:
"The Device is Unlocked".
When I try te start it up in Fastboot ( pwr+vol down) the screen get stuck on message:
"The Device is Unlocked.
Android cardhu-user bootloader <2.10 e> released by "ww_epad-9.4.3.29-20120511" A03
Checking for android ota recovery
Booting recovery kernel image"
Now the pad is not starting up the ROM and I can't get in fastboot mode anymore.
The solutions given in other treads about a simular problem, you need to put your pad into USB mode.
But that is not posible anymore.
Is there any other solution for this problem??
Thanks guy's
problem
I also have the same brick .... like it ....
Hello,
me too...
Tablet starts always automatically into CWM recovery.
Fastboot and ADB doesnt work either...
Could it be ADB isnt working because debugging mode isnt activated?
But how can I change without a working android?
Is there someone out there who can help me out of this problem?
Or is RMA the only solution?
But I dont want to send my transformer to asus so they can change the motherboard. Its only a software problem...
Can someone help me? Please
Give it what it is looking for and hope for the best. Stock update ( ww_epad-9.4.3.29-20120511 ) If when plugged into pc you have access to internal sdcard put it there, if not put it on external sdcard and reboot unit. If that does not load update try to get into fastboot as you mention above maybe it will install from there since it tells you ( Checking for android ota recovery ).
Good Luck!
If you downloaded the file from asus you will need to unzip once and still have a zip but slightly different name!

Hello tobdaryl,
thanks for your answer!
Unfortunately I dont have access to internal sdcard... also I cant get into fastboot mode...
I think ADB could help, but I cant get ADB to work. I have to activate usb debugging, right?
But how could I do without starting Android?

place it on external sdcard if you can't access internal. if this works you don't need adb or fastboot. we are trying to let your unit update for you and clear your problem. as far as fastboot I'm only suggesting do as you said about trying to go into fastboot as when you received the message about update.
sounds harder than it is.
place update on external sdcard. reboot, if no love reboot into fastboot as when you received update message. at that point we hope your unit will auto install the update for you.
time is all you might loose.
Good Luck!:good:

Mate 8 NXT-L29 BRICKED? LOOP? NO OS! NO RECOVERY! NO FASTBOOT! NO ADB! NEED HELP PLS

Hello guys..
I really have a problem right now! I appreciate everyone who tries to help me. I´ll try to expain what exactly is my problem with my Mate8.
Also I´d like to apologize for mistakes of gramatics, because im acutally from Germany..
So, my phone was working right, and actually everything was okay. With time it got so slowly, because storage was full with datas and so on. I tried to clean up some things to get it again a bit faster and so on, but that did not make it (at all). Also windows wont recognize the phone anymore. When plug in the USB it didnt even asked for data, charging or photos.. also I had problems with charging, it took toooo long for a few %.
I was on "KANGVIP" Rom (as much I know i changed stock to this custom rom) https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/development/rom-kangvip-slim-t3318572
Time passed untill 3 days I decided to flash a new rom normally, like put rom on sd card, wipe dalvic and cache, and so on. I wanted this rom; Lineage OS https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/development/6-0-1-cyanogenmod-13-port-t3512985
But everything came up with different errors for different actions I did like this:
"cant mound sd card"
"cant mount inernal storage"
"cant mount data"
"cant format data"
"cant mount system"
"cant mount cache"
etc. etc...
I tried to change file system to EXT3. EXT4, EXT2, FAT, and so on, for Data and System. Nothing worked correctly (but I had still on some Filestystems instead of 0MB like 2700MB). Still not working correct... On TWRP.
Then I tried to update TWRP from 3.0.1 to 3.1 (new one released). Because I saw, more precisely, I heard that an update can fix this mount issues I had.
Said and done, I updated it and instead of 3.1 I had 3.0.2 (idk why but I didnt care). But still theese problems happend.
So then I saw in a Video on youtube (which I cant find anymore) that another recovery like CWM can fix this issues. So I downloaded CWM recovery.img and installed it with TWRP an rebooted to recovery again. And now I´m in a situation, in wich I dont know what to do.
Now the phone tries to start, but no OS installed.
Try to get into Recovery, but no recovery aviable exept eRecovery which is failing with data when trying to restore.
Problem is also that Fastboot and ADB is not working. Installed HiSuite, ADB drivers, Samsung drivers (though could help).
Tried Knife Italian, but no connection to pc..
Tried different cable, no luck.
Tried windows 7, 8.1, 10 Home and now im on Win 10 Pro 64x.
All I can do is to boot into Fastmode, but cant do anything. And when I try to boot the phone normally it stucks on "Your device is booting now..." because no OS...
PLEASE HELP ME GUYS! I REALLY NEED THAT PHONE :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
THANK YOU !!! :good:
Hallo,
If your phone is still recognized in fastboot mode, you can try following up my tutorial here » https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/help/how-to-unbrick-l29-al10-stuck-fastboot-t3599775
I was experiencing the same problem. No OS, no recovery, no fastboot flash possibility, only fastboot booting. Keep in mind that you will need 15€ for this method to work but it is the only way to resurrect your device.
PM me if you need further assistance.

Thank you for the reply my friend.
The problem is, that it only boots in to fastbootmode, but any pc wont recognize it. I tried even with Mac...:crying:
Greetings
DC-Phoenix should recognize the fastboot brick state even if the device doesn't show up in Minimal ADB & Fastboot. Try my method and let me know if it works.
Hi guy's.
DC Phoenix save my mate 8 with factory firmware.
I was the same problem like you and search one week a solution and after I decided to pay and try Phoenix and now I write from my mate 8
Before buy 15€ of credit you can download and try to connect your phone on DC Phoenix
does the DC phoenix method take your phone to absolute stock? ie, stock firmware +recovery + Locked + no root?
Yes. You will have the factory firmware (stock) but with unlocked bootloader.
