Hi,
Problem: my desire s is not Booting up!! {not even in recovery mode} it is S-off and rooted
Symptoms: if i try to boot up it just vibrates for 2-3 times and the Red Charge indicator light, turns on. if i try to hold down the volume key & press the on key then it vibrates for 2-3 times & the Green indicator light turn on. That's it!! it is stuck there... doesn't boot up or anything.
What might have happened last night!!:
1. i downloaded some games apk from different websites and installed those.
2. tried to update ROM manager but failed
3. suddenly the volume increase indication came up in my screen (without even touching the volume keys!!) this kept coming...then i decided to give it a restart...after restarting everything came back to normal
4. but again it started to show up this morning...so decided to restart it again...and thats it....it wont boot up again!!!
Guys please DO help me out!!
Thanx in advance

Hello
Attempt to put charge into the phone by plugging it into the main charger.
Does the charge light come on when the phone is being charged?
Now download and Install the adb & fastboot onto your PC which you'll see in a link in my signature. Ensure that you have HTC drivers on you PC if not also download and install the link in my signature.
Plug phone into PC by USB cable.
Then fire up a CMD on your PC, go to directory where adb is and issue the command
Code:
[B][COLOR="Blue"]adb devices[/COLOR][/B]
?
whats the response?

thanx for the reply bro...
if i enter "adb devices" it shows:
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
list of devices attached
C:\android-win-tools>
Now what shall i do???...please help me out...i m very novice in this matter <to be mentioned that... i had a given factory reset before this!!>

After startup and the two vibrates, what's on the screen?
were you forced to pull the battery at any point?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium

after the vibration the screen doesn't show anything!! its just pitch dark...
yeah last night i had to pull the battery out as the Red light wont turn off!!

this isnt sounding good!
check out the link in bens signature regarding emmc chips...

The most unexpected happen right now!!!!
i installed the adb tools then plugged in my device to the pc..suddenly it booted up...everything seemed to work perfectly {though the volume increase notification was still bugging me!!!}.
So, i decided to give it a Factory default reset. i went to the settings & clicked the factory default button....it gave me a couple of warnings and wiped all the installed apps. then it started to restart again...!!! AND Here you go ....its stuck again!!!! Back to that old black screen & the red light!!!!!
Please tell me WHAT to do????? plz i m waiting...should i plug it out???
<if i try to boot into recovery mode...it vibrates 4 times the green lights turns on!!>

Very strange indeed, can you recall any part of the warnings?
Unless the phone semi-boots or can at least be recognised by adb (which yours doesn't) then you can use the HTC ROM utility to re-flash your phone)
Does sounds frightening like a hardware related issue, although it's difficult to tell as it appears to intermittently boot!?
The good thing is if it won't boot then hopefully the service centre won't be able to tell that you S-off'd so may well replace unit or motherboard for you under warranty.

2. Or tell me the steps to use RUU to flash my set

Yes that's good news.....Although I'm at work now so bit busy...
Try
Code:
adb reboot recovery
from the PC if it loads into recovery Good!
From recovery try to format the CACHE partition, write what happens?
I'd then say download a wipe script and a safe custom ROM and then load them onto your SD card, ie like LBC Mod v0.6.0
If no errors, then first flash the wipe ZIP file and then the LBC ROM ZIP file using the "install from sdcard/zip file options from your recovery....
Report back any errors...if you're not quite sure of any of the steps then ask questions....I'll check back later...

Nope...if i enter the command adb reboot recovery...its just vibrates twice and nothing comes on the screen (with the red light on).........!!
i guess i have go for RUU process

i just remembered one thing....couple of days ago i installed the FOTA updates...has that changed something in my S-OFF or Root????

I'm getting out of my depth here....As we don't know what version of ROm you're now running especially if you ran the OTA. There is a possibility that the OTA has removed your custom recovery, S-OFF and root. As as you can't see the HBOOT screen you can't confirm that you're even still S-OFF..
You could try to start to run an RUU as this might tell you want you current ROM version is......
But I'd wait for someone else to provide some more advice...as I don't know what the "recovery" next to your device serial number from adb devices quite means ( I assume it means that your device is in recovery)...

google adb yourself and see what safe options and commands of it you can use that will provide you with further information about your phone

hi...
Thanx to ALLAH...may b at last i have found the problem area.
it is the volume rocker!!! somehow the "+" side of the volume rocker is jammed so, whenever i try to boot the device it goes in a recovery mode!!!
But strangely though when I played with the volume buttons and they don't feel jammed at all, the vol. down button is clicking fine, doesn't feel stuck or anything. And if that wasn't bad enough, I tried turning my phone off and on, but when turning it on, it still thinks it's held down so it will only boot into recovery!!!
is there any solutions for it???

Well done in discovering the fault
But, I'm afraid that I don't know of any way to disable the buttons, without obviously dis-mantling the case from the unit (which is way over my head) ...

this maybe a daft question but have you tried the command
Code:
adb reboot
(not adb reboot recovery)?
if this does not work you may have to take your device to HTC

New TF300T

its boot up is boolean as it sticks at the asus logo and freezes at booting recovery image up in the left, i cant get it to do nothing i have download unbrickers but they are uselesss until i can find a way to get my device recognized by the pc.. i was trying to install twrp and command prompt said script was finished so i rebooted device not its stuck at hte asus boot screen i think i must of installed wrong recovery image , but i am stuck now cause windows doesnt recognize my device as i mentioned again earlier, any pointers or help is greatly appreciated,, thanks in advance i have tried looking all over the forums and google have yet to find a way i even looked on youtube..... i will make a donation to who ever is the hero
i have the naked usb drivers installed for apx mode but still cant do anything, i apologize for the newbie post but i guess i learned the hard way, is this even restorable maybe with a mac or do i have myself a pretty fancy expensive paper weight

is there anyone else that has ever experienced this issue let me know please can't believe i hit wipe data.im to the point where i will donate good to anyone that can help me find a resolution

When you tried to flash twrp had you already unlocked the boot loader?
The boot loader must be unlocked prior to the installation of any costume recovery.

yes it was , still is, well i wanted to make sure we were are on the same page is that the same as having device unlocked?

Any suggestions

If you can't get into the boot loader or fastboot, I'm sorry to say you are hard bricked.
Did you wipe from the boot loader at some point before?
Your best options are to send it to Asus with RMA for repair or sell it for parts on eBay.

BTW a vol down and power boot does nothing?

Hold down thepowerbutton and the low volume buttons at the same time, tell us what happens . You must hold them down for almosrt 8 seconds.

i sent it off to asus rma department, guess they told me my warranty is now void and would need to pay for a the labor and a new motherboard, i tried everything over and over. i even let it keep restarting itself overnight and it still didnt do anything, i read someplace it is fixable if only i had a linux based os

i cna get into apx mode i dont know if that helps and i have tried to download the wsg unbricker tool but that doesnt seem to work either i need to learn how to push recovery onto it. i went went from it automatically restarting to it being stuck on asus boot screen, can somebody lead me into the right direction, all your time and effort is and will be greatly apprectiated

[Q] I think I'm totally screwed this time

I have multiple problems so read on.
A couple weeks ago the computer stopped recognizing my verizon gnex that was rooted, unlocked and running jbsourcery 5.1 that it previously had no problems seeing. It still charges via wall and usb with original m-usb cable. I've tried numerous times to re-install the samsung driver on the computer with wug's toolkit with no luck. I've tried another samsung m-usb cable...no luck. My computer is new so no problems with usb ports (I've tried all of them) and have tried the ver 2.0 port. USB debugging is on and fastcharge is off.
My second and worst problem:
Yesterday in a fit of stupidity I restored one of my original backups ( I believe made with CWM recovery ) that turned out to be a stock. img and after restoring it OTA updated to stock JB. All my other backups were done with TWRP and it's no longer present on the phone. I tried installing BootUnlocker from play store but it says I have no root access and the phone won't flash either recovery so I'm stuck with only Fastboot ver. 9 that only wants to flash something from adb. I've exhausted my knowledge and eyes are crossed from reading forums.
I want to get back to full rooted or back to full stock.
It is still unlocked
I don't know if I can use something like Terminal Emulator for this or even how to use it.
If you know enough to see that I'm totally screwed...Please tell me! (I'm a big boy)
If you think you have a solution...You are a god!
If you need more info...I can provide it

Rom manager is on the phone but each time i try to reboot into recovery it does nothing. If I try to enter recovery through VOL up/dwn-Pwr it just goes to minimal fastboot that only gives me the option of installing from adb.

It wont flash recovery while in Rom manager but it says CWM and Twrp are both installed on phone.

First thing, I was serious about ur age,
Second to go into recovery mode see here.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vXCyI-BpZw

Yes...but when I try to enter recovery all I get is the dead android icon with a red triangle on his chest. If i press vol/up and pwr button at this point it goes to the install from adb options in fastboot ver.9
And I'm being honest...I'm 50

First thing, see the second thing
Second thing go here,

Pls press thnx if helped.

Sorry, I tried reloading the drivers into computer so I could use Wugs toolkit but they won't load because the computer doesn't recognize the phone. I keep getting an error 10 when trying to update the drivers. I truly appreciate your help and thank you but I'm stuck.
Any other ideas?

Ur welcome and sorry I couldn't help much...
I'll try help ASAP...
Sorry again..

You may have already tried it, but have you tried to plug the phone into a different computer ?

Yes, I have a win xp laptop I tried connecting to also. No luck

[Q] Razr HD Problem (Need help ASAP Please!)

HI!
So for the past couple days my Razr HD has been going crazy. When i turn it on it comes up with almost every single app saying "Unfortunately .... has stopped. The first one or the one that pops up the most often is like .gapps which i believe is the google apps? But once these messages pop up they don't stop, making it extremely hard to get around on my phone. Also about one minute in my homescreen wont work so im stuck in settings or something. Another thing is that it will restart by itself if i leave it alone for a minute. And when I try to wipe it/factory reset, it doesnt work, i come back to everything being the same! ive tried every single way. Fast boot loader, Recovery mode, from settings, turning off restore in setting. Please help! I know it must be like some kind of virus and i really need help, im not the most techy person out there. But my brother is, so if you have something complex, im sure he'll understand.
Thanks

You must have tried a cwmr/twrp restore to a previous backup or all the way back to your 1st backup?
I sounds like a corrupted ui.
Rsd lite restore to the newest stock build.
You talk as if your boot is unlocked-so it cannot be relocked.

Wipe data from stk recovery then rsd restore.
1-choose recovery,
[email protected] the dead android press & hold both vol keys for 3 sec.
3-wipe data
4-go bootloader
5- ap fastboot
6- run rsd...

Okay so I can do all those things, and I just looked up what RSD was because i was a bit confused, but its a program that i download onto my computer and run it onto my phone to reset it. Am I correct? Sorry, I'm knew to android so I don't know much.

If you are careful not to use the xt907 xmls, I have a guide in my signature-stock restore. All the steps apply to you. You can browse the driod/developers site for the right hd xml for you.
Do try the safeboot first.
You have a locked boot right?
Always choose the latest xml.

Follow the sad Smiley & 98.18.78 (substitute the 'hd build you need). Go for root to the new thread here, general forum

Just use RSD Lite to restock your phone. It will solve your problem...
1. Download and install RSD Lite 6.1.5 - https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...ite_v6.1.x.zip
2. Make sure you have installed latest Motorola Device Manager and drivers on your PC - https://motorola-global-portal.custh...81/action/auth
3. Download XT925 stock firmwares (Retail.DE for example...) - http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=6
4. Put the phone in AP Fastboot (Turn off your phone. Press and hold the following buttons at the same time until the screen turns on 1) volume down 2) volume up 3) power. Press Volume down until you reach the AP fastboot in the list. Press Volume up to select) connect it to PC cia usb cable and start RSD Lite
5.(optional) When you extract it and load the rom in RSDLite if you get FLASHING FAILED ˝getvar´ you'll need to edit rom file and delete line with ˝getvar˝ strings and <step operation="getvar" var="max-download-size" />
<step operation="oem" var="fb_mode_set" /> strings also.
If your phone is Droid Razr HD XT926 download it's roms from same site in step 3. instead for XT925. http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=5
Let me know how it went... If you have any questions...

(Help)My Phone Stuck on Black Screen COM 10,Bootloader Locked ,Developer Mode Enabled

I bought my phone yesterday ,it was working fine till this morning,i decided to unlock my phone,and when i was on fastboot mode it says my account was not binded so i boot to normal mode again and bind my xiaomi account as i turned off my phone it went to black screen completely but still detected on PC as Com 10(Qualcomm)
i already tried flashing multiple times with MIflash and Recovery file,it says sucess but im still stuck on black screen

open it, unplug the battery connector and re-plug after 1 minute...
its stuck on EDL mode....
Mine was like dat before.... and the only fix was to open it and unplug the battery connector....
---------- Post added at 02:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:24 PM ----------
don't clean flash it like several answers on various forum suggest, it got no effect whatsoever...
I learnt it hard way (lost all precious photos & videos of my family), while the correct way is just to unplug the battery connector....
no data will be harmed by this way.....
and this post must made sticky to help other...
