HTC Incredible S - Failed ROM installation :( - HTC Incredible S

Hi!
I used a random wiki webpage to follow instructions on how to get Android Revolution HD on my HTC Incredible S.
I used Revolutionary to get the 'S-OFF' and temp root - was already confused.
I then downloaded the ROM and uploaded it on the SD card, did a factory reset through the Boot / white screen (volume down + power) - can't remember what this is called.
The ROM installed successfully but when I boot the handset, the white HTC screen comes on, 'quietly brilliant' appears after some time (with no ring or tone as it used to) then the phone starts on the unlock screen, it looks like the usual UI, there is no signal on the sim.
As soon as I swipe down it crashes and goes back into the white HTC screen!
Please help me - it's a work phone and I need it working again by Monday!
If someone could explain how I could sort this issue I would be hugely grateful!
Thanks
PP

Also if it's easier to get it back to stock / factory settings that would also be great!
Thanks

Your phones not crashing its displaying a white htc.screen because its loading sense for the first time. Reboot and wait at least 5 minutes after you pull the ring.

Though I am all for the rooting community, doing so on phone provided by your company is probably not the smartest of ideas.

probably u did not do a full wipe u try do a wiping in factory reset den go for wipe chace den wipe dalvik cache and install the roms again and try hope this is help

com.android.phone how to unstuck?

Hello,
A friend of mines recently gave me her HTC Legend because it was stuck on some loading screen.
It's isn't rooted.
She tried the OTA update for her device and since she did so, when the phone start, it doesn't ask for her pin code or what so ever, sense boot up, and then it keeps getting stuck on the loading screen when sense should appears.
Then after a few secondes it says : com.android.phone couldn't boot. Do you want to wait, force close, or send report.
I can handle my HTC hero but her legend seems different.. + without custom recovery I don't even now how to wipe or anything.
Anyway, could you FIRST tell me if there is a way, to try to re-apply the update (OTA not possible anymore since sense doesn t boot..).. or is there any chance not to wipe the phone ( cause she hasn t saved her contacts, messages etc)..
And if not.. how can I hard reset her phone (step by step please)
Thanks in advance guys!!
Use a search in the forums for the appropriate RUU.
Also, do not post questions in the development section.

Oups sorry, can a moderator move the thread?
Once i have the official RUU.. how can i flash it without a custom recovery?
I get exactly the same thing pull your sim car out start the phone up and complete all of the set up screens once you are into android turn phone off put sim back in it should work fine, but you will get a message about the sim being chanmged press clear if you press to change settings you will get another error and dont go into the apn settings or things get a little bit messy
To flash your carriers RUU, you may need a "goldcard" but turn off your phone and press the back button and power on the phone,to get to the fastboot screen, connect the phone to your pc and run the RUU.

If she recently updated to 2.2, then that's the problem. Plenty of people (me included) had this issue. No need to re-apply the OTA update or (re-)flash a ROM, just sync her contacts/calendar/mail to Google and backup apps via Astro.
Then do a factory reset and re-sync/install from backup. That's all it takes. Works like a charm after! ;-)

[Q] Installed CyanogenMod 10 - how long to wait on first boot?

Hi,
I've just followed steps to install "CyanogenMod 10" on my P7310 tablet and was wondering how long you usually have to wait on the first boot?
I've been 25 minutes so far, just wondering if there's an issue or not?
Thanks for any advice.
First boot takes a while due to Android building the cache, but not 25 mins. Sound like your flash went awry. I had an issue with CM10 not getting passed the animation when I installed it the other day. A factory reset + cache + dalvik and reflash fixed my problem. It should take less than 5 minutes if it's working properly.

Maybe you forgot to do factory reset and format /system if came from other rom?
I'm having this problem as well. Did you ever find a solution?
Edit: Never mind... I didn't format /system. Once I did everything worked fine.
I had this problem as well, just held the power button and after a restart all worked well.
Same here, didnt start till I did a hard reset.
Can't get CM working on my TF101. CM9 can't turn on both wi-fi and bluetooth, CM10 is never leave the boot animation screen. Each topic I can fing with google says that I need to do Factory reset, but I DO it, did it many times and nothing helps. Maybe there's something debug build where I can see what's going wrong?
Fixed my problem. The problem was is in wipe actually, CWM Touch didn't wipe the data, formatting /data/ was too fast and it couldn't umount it. So I used CWM to wipe and CWM Touch to flash because CWM couldn't mount /sdcard/.
Where should I send bugreports?
CyanogenMod is...stuck?
First of all, that NOOB video! Wow! I think I'm in the right thread for help, and I'll try to be brief.
My husband recently Rooted his Galaxy Note II (US Cellular). Tonight he tried to put the CyanogenMod onto it...it has been loading now for a couple of hours, which I have read is a bad thing. It just stays on the screen, and the blue circle spins around. The power button won't do anything, nor will pulling the battery or sim card, as soon as you put them back in, the circle starts again.
Can someone please help a MAJOR NEWBIE to all things dealing with rooted phones to fix this disaster? The phone was too expensive to be a paperweight!
Thank you so much in advance!

You should head over to the discussion thread for your specific device. People there will be more familiar with problems and solutions for the note II.

You can go to the HTCDEV.com site and download the last official ICS RUU for the IncS and see if you can execute and run that to bring your phone back to life.

Can you post a screen shot of your bootloader (HBOOT) screen? Do you have the original box the phone came in? If so, can you post the Model ID?

[Q] Sprint HTC One reboot issue

I got a Sprint HTC One last week, rooted it, s-offed it and flashed several ROMs on it.
My problem is that in every ROM I've tested, the phone reboots after a couple of minutes.
Here are the ROMs I've tried so far:
- CLEAN ROM SPR 2.5
- CM-10.1-20130714-NIGHTLY-m7spr
- MIUI_m7wls_signed_07042013
- Slim-m7spr-4.2.2.build.7-OFFICIAL
- Sprint_HTC_One_1.29.651.10_Stock_Deodexed
- Sprint_HTC_One_1.29.651.10_Stock_Odexed_05.17.13
- Stock_w_Goodies_One_1.06
- viperROM_One_v1.1.0
I'm using TWRP 2.5, advanced wiping: dalvik, cache, data, system before flashing the ROM.
Does anyone have sugestions?

I guess that's a slightly different problem then mine.
My phone is S-OFF already and I've wiped and flashed almost every single ROM out there and the phone reboots (doesn't shutdown) every 2 minutes...
After I read some other similar issues, I'm guessing I'll have to use a RUU tool to fix the problem. The other problem is that I only have Mac and Linux...
I've read a post advising to copy the ROM file to the root of the phone's internal storage in order to do a proper flash.
Since I was always flashing the roms directly from an external usb thumb drive, I thougt it was a good idea.
I copied Android Revolution 2.5 to the phone's memory, wiped everything and flashed it. Installation whas OK so I rebooted. When selecting the wi-fi network on the initial setup I received a message saying "avoiding poor signal network" even thoug my router was about 10ft from me. After finishing the initial setup I rebooted the phone and then it got stuck hard.
Even when pressing the power button for over 20 second it didn't shut down. Now I'm waiting for the battery to die so I can see what happens on the next boot.
Again, if someone can help me on this situation, I'll appreciate it...

press the buttons while holding phone under a bright light and it will reboot, if that rom was a 4.2.2 rom from the intl. forum you're going to have to ruu it.

I've only used Sprint ROMs but still got those freaking reboots. Only by using RUU (provided by viperboy) I managed to solve the reboot issue.
Now I'm waiting for a software SIM Unlock solution, since I'm in Brazil an cannot unlock it OTA.
I'll post an update here as soon as I have a solution...

Access Device Storage via Bootloader/Recovery? Phone Wont Boot Past AndroidOne Screen

TL : DR - My phone won't boot because of low disk space, how can I free up memory?
Greetings,
Project FI purchased Moto X4 running BONE STOCK and absolutely ZERO CUSTOMIZATION. If I can get access to my pics taken via the camera I'm ok with wiping the phone and starting over. Screenshots folder access would be cool too but not life necessary... Wait there has to be a way to make a dump of all this data somehow, somewhere right?
Last night I was on 15% or less battery life and less than 100mb's of disk space left. (i know, i know, i'm a dummy head)
I heard about PLEX running no problem on mobile Browser and decided to test it out and sure enough it worked fine. Was test streaming a few movies out when my PHONE DIED. I thought, oh man, thats probably not the best since it died and it was low on space but yeah I threw it on the charger and went to bed....
This morning, I confirmed it was charged 100% but when I turn it on, the phone will not boot past the AndroidOne screen. Left it there for 40mins and no change, AndroidOne displays and the rainbow colored bars at bottom are frozen(don't scroll) and screen flashes off/on every 30 secs to that same AndroidOne screen.
However I can boot into Bootloader with no issues, and into Recovery mode as well, but there is not a WIPE CACHE option on this device... Obviously the Wipe data/factory reset option is there...
BUT BEFORE WE GET TO THAT POINT, WHaT GIVES? Anyone have any ideas?
few ?'s
#1 - In the Bootloader menu, What is this RESTART BOOTLOADER option for, what does it do?
#2 - Is there any way I can free up some space from Bootloader/Recovery as I'm pretty sure thats the cause of this problem I'm having. I was intending to do that today actually, was going to dump all my pics from the phone to a computer. ..
#3 - Is there any way I can see if my pic's backed up somewhere? New to the Google ecosystem...
#4 - Is there any way I can read or access the phones data via a computer, then perhaps I can delete a few pics to free up memory or better yet, wipe app caches to clear up memory instantly? PERHAPS even command line ????
Any and all other inputs and suggestions greatly appreciated before I take that step of wiping the device(which assumes I can start over with a working phone by doing that but not a guarantee).
Please ADVISE
much appreciated!

Go to photos.google.com with the account you signed into your phone to see if they were backed-up.

Thanks for the reply, so Google says I have backup turned off but my photos are in the timeline.. SO I just manually downloaded them all as a backup/pre-caution.
any other suggestions before I attempt the WIPE data/factory reset option from Bootloader > Recovery?
I can boot up fine into Bootloader and Recovery.
I can access the logs via . Bootloader > Recovery > View Recovery Logs
last line states the following: I:[libfs_mgr]fs_mgr_read_fstab_dt(): failed to read fstab from dt
please advise,

the internet failed, I found nothing on this issue and since I got 90% of my photos recovered via Google photos..
long story short, from Bootloader/Recovery I did the WIPE data/factory reset and i'm good to go now.
even updated my phone to all the latest android and moto updates, feels and seems like a totally new phone.. at a cost of 15gbs!! 15/32gbs used jus for the AndroidONE o/s, am I missing something?

Not missing anything the OS takes up a lot of space. I am using a Pie ROM right now and system takes up 12GB.
