HELP Please!!!

Hey there. I ran into an issue with my HTC incredible S where It's not responding at all. I've tried everything and the phone just reboots over and over and over. I can not gain access to my recovery at all. I am wondering if you know how to fix it. It is currently
HTC INCREDIBLE S (VIRGIN MOBILE)
HBOOT: 1.09.1000
RADIO: -3805.04.03.22_m
It is currently S-OFF
Up to today I have tried everything from trying to access my recovery to going as far as even doing RUU and even the rom.zip to PG32IMG. None of these have worked.
Everytime I put PG32IMG into root of SD it loads from Hboot than tells me there is an ID error.
If Anyone could help me out I would be forever in your debt. I have been sweating this out without a phone for 4 days and counting. I really need my phone back up as my daughter has no way of getting ahold of me other than my cellphone...

Do you have another SD card you can try? How are you copying the PG32IMG.zip file to the SD card?

What I have done so far was run the RUU installer, grab the rom.zip file in my tmp folder and than change it's name to PG32IMG NOT PG32IMG.zip and placed it
into the root of my SD which I made sure I formatted everytime. I was just thinking about it now. Could it be that my card is 16GB... Would that have some sort of impact on the recovery process?

What about a "Factory Reset" from with in Recovery?

You have an Incredible S from Virgin Mobile, which I guess is from Canada. All you have to do is to follow the guide to flash an RUU on a Canadian device that is on the same section of the forum. This way, you will not get an incorrect ID error and the hboot will flash your PG32IMG.zip.

Could you be a bit more detailed? I am unsure of the method you speak of...
Thanks again btw. I will be following up with results tonight once I am home from Work.
Fingers crossed that this works properly!

Not sure I can help but at least good luck.

This is the post he is talking about. After re-reading your OP, I would again that this is the method you need to take. When I read it last night, I though you were getting an IO error, not an ID error.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1145541
So basically, after you get the ROM.zip, you need to unzip it and modify the android-info.txt file to change the modelid and cidnum values that correspond to your phone.

delete the PG32IMG from your SD card

Radio files flashing for different carriers

Hi,
I am planing to flash T-Mobile radios to HTC Vivid since i have 1 sitting around useless. I know the risks, and willing to take it. I have heard one guy on this forums has achieved it alredy. I have downloaded KID and VK1 radio files already. But before I go ahead and screw up something would someone be kind enough and explain me how to flash these radio files step by step. Also one more thing i didnt find anywhere is where would be stock AT&T radio files that I can flash back in case T-Mo ones dont work? Am i at risk of softbriking phone in a way that can not be recovered? ( If not I am planing to go ahead with it). Someone with lots of experience of flashing radios, if you can provideme with step-by-step instructions, I will truely appreciate it.
Thanks.

I believe you would flash the radio partition like any other partition. Not sure if the phone will accept the foreign radio image, but it will be interesting to see the results. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong about the following:
1) You should have the drivers for your phone installed
2) Your bootloader should be unlocked via htcdev.com
3) Put the radio.img file that you would like to flash in the same folder/directory that contains your fastboot.exe file
4) Boot your phone into bootloader mode and choose "fastboot" mode then plug the phone into the PC USB.
5) In a command prompt window, go to the directory/folder that has your fastboot.exe and the radio.img file
6) Run this command: fastboot flash radio radio.img
I think it's a good idea to stand by for a bit and see if anyone corrects me, in case I am wrong. I'm thinking that if the phone doesn't accept the radio image, it will tell you and it won't flash. OR... if it does flash, and your phone doesn't boot properly, you should still be able to get into Bootloader->Fastboot in order to flash back your original radio.
To get the original radio from your stock RUU installer: When you run an HTC RUU exe, it takes a little time to extract whatever files it needs. Once you get to the very first step of the RUU (where you get to click buttons), I believe you can go to C:\Users\whoever\AppData\Local\Temp (for Win7 users) and then sort by modified date. You should see a folder that was very recently created. If you poke around in there, you may find a file called "rom.zip". That should be the stock rom from the RUU and the radio may be in there. Take a look...

the phone will be hard bricked. the only phones that i know can use a different model radio is smasung because they are developed very similiar.. u can try it and go to the unbricking process and see for your self.

This is a very bad idea.
The only HTC device that might have compatible radio us the HTC amaze. The amaze has a LTE radio but its disabled for the most part.
If it worked you would then have to figure out how to use the amaze ril as our ril would not be compatible.

So how do i proceed?
Thanks a lot guys for replying SO FAST,
Anyways If i do this and it briks, is it going to be permanent brick for radio??? Or is it a reversible process?
Also I was thinking of same that flashing radio files for HTC sensation or amaze would be far better idea than flashing ones from samsung, Can anyone point me in right direction where do i get them? I see in first reply the procedure posted of how to flash different radio files already. Let me know what you guys think...

Thanks for stepping in guys! I almost bricked this guys phone lol

Its all good Laziodroid, I just have this phone sitting around since I am no longer with at&t and wanted to do something, but found a seller who agreed to pay 250 for it so scrapped the plans to mess it up and just sold it, Anyways I just wonder if there was a way to get those radio files off of sensation or amaze and flash them on this phone or not?? Or it would have endedup briking phone as well, and more importantly would it be hard brick or soft brick? ( I mean recoverable or all hopes lost)??

Im no expert with HTC...but I would assume a soft brick that a simple ruu can fix since Ruus flash radio.img...if I had t-mo is try flashing some radios (I have a back up Samsung infuse) but I'm on att so I'd have no way of testing if it works with t-mo

[Q] Can't get recovery installed my Sprint Hero

I believe I have correctly rooted the phone - I have a Super User icon and when I abd shell I get #
When I run the adb shell /data/local/flash_image recovery /data/local/yourrecoveryimage.img command I get "[1] Illegal instruction /data/local/flash_image recovery"
In several threads here I saw people saying to just use ROM Manager. I downloaded the APK, but when I tap on it I get a Parse Error.
More research... and I think the issue may be that my system version is blocking things. I found a site that had a Windows program that was supposed to push an older version to the phone (can't find the link right now) but it failed too. It ran, accessed the phone, then said it couldn't update my phone.
I'm not sure where to turn next. If there is a post or FAQ somewhere that addresses this please point me to it. If you have something for me to try, I'm ready and willing.
--edit - found the program I mentioned above. ROM Update Utility 1.0.2.10, trying to change from image version 2.3.651.2 to 2.27.651.6. I found the program here:

The phone is Sprint, but I am not connected to any carrier. I'm only using it on WiFi.
Not sure what hboot is or how to tell what my radio is.
Software Number is 2.3.651.2 as mentioned in my first post, though I guess it was buried a bit.

You need to install rom manager 2.5 when first rooting sprint. search for it on the web or here at xda.

Thanks! That version installed. Now I just need to get to where I have WiFi to see if the rest works, but I'm very hopeful.
Thanks again.

ROM Manager 2.5 installed just fine. It grabbed a Recovery (clockwork-2.5.0.7 I believe) and installed it for me. I booted to that and installed the ROM I had on the SD card - Cyanogen 7.2.0 which seemed to go fine.
Then I had a bit of a scare. The phone rebooted and I got a Cyanogen animated logo and nothing else. No buttons did anything - I couldn't even power off. Had to pull the battery for that. Put it back in, powered on, same thing.
Booted to Recovery and it was the built in one, not Clockwork, but based on some reading I did a Wipe and after that the phone booted to Cyanogen.
Thanks for the help!

[Q] Cant get in hboot, computer doesnt recognize the device

htc inc s, brand new from ebay china seller ( I live in Greece), is s-on, never messed up with, never rooted all factory. It worked great for few days and after the first OTA update I cant get into hboot, adb doesn't see the phone, always the updating symbol on screen.Tried battery pull, volume down + power in all the possible timing and combinations but yet nothing! Also I tried battery pull, volume up + power it vibrates 3 times orange lid is on and black screen (on the forums is said that this is diagnostic menu) . So I think maybe this phone is a refurb and not new since the answer from HTC global support (after sending my IMEI and S/N) is that this phone is for Indonesian market and that its warranty expired year ago!
Can someone figure out what is going on and help maybe...

yay i think that ebay china seller has fooled you
i am not sur but it must be like this;
the phone must be from indonesian market.
(there is no reason for which htc global support will lie!!)
the ebay china seller must have resold it to you.!!
and then you flashed a european RUU and thats the problem.
i will try to hunt for solution.
may be some expert will come up with solution
keep patience
:silly:
okay
i searched a bit on your problem
a guy on android forums has a similar problem
check; http://androidforums.com/htc-rezound/596891-ics-ota-bricked-my-new-unrooted-phone-help.html (if posting a link for information purpose is also not allowed by this forum please forgive me)
i dont think there is any solution!!
just in case asking; can you get into fastboot??
i dont think you can as bootloader doesnt start but asking it a s a last option

That probably is the problem. +1 I would find an official European RUU for the Incredible S and then run it. Or just unlock the bootloader and root it and live a long life with the Incredible S

O right nvm, unlocking bootloader is not possible because you need android debugging.... hmmm.... school has been wrecking me lately....
It might be possible to run an RUU though. Just have it boot and have it left in the state. Then try running the RUU. Of course I have never seen such a case as this and at this point, anything could be worth trying :/

but i dont think that would work
if some way he is able to get fastboot atleast;

The only other thing you could try is to get the latest RUU from HTCDEV.com and extract the ROM.zip file from the /temp directory and then copy it to the SD card and rename it PG32IMG.zip.
Then try rebooting using volume down and power and see what happens.

Why did you choose that RUU and ROM? This forum is for GSM version of the Incredible S. The Verizon version of the HTC Incredible 2 is a CDMA/GSM hybrid phone.
From the sound of it, I think your SD card is probably the root of the issue. That would explain why the OTA failed. Have you tried taking the SD card out and booting the phone without it. That might abort the OTA and allow you to get back to the HBOOT menu.

Hi guys ,
I'm french so if you don't understand excuse me..
Yesterday i downloaded a custom ROM for my HTC incredible s (Nik project X rebirth v3.6) on this website :
After the installation, the phone was good, but my network reception was not high, i received 1 time of 2 while normally i received very good in 3g (at home). So i wanted to change radio, so i followed this tutorial :
The installation began correctly but my computer dumped (blue screen) and reboot, after that the loading of the radio ended, my phone ask me to push power for reboot him, but he didn't boot...i test all things i can do take of the battery
Help me please ! I don't wan't to buy another phone..
Sorry i can't post links (To prevent spam on the XDA forums, ALL new users prevented from posting outside links in their messages. After approximately 10 posts, you will be able to post outside links. Thank you for understanding!)

Yes it is unfortunate that you cannot post links yet. What radio version did you attempt to flash? What method did you use to try to update the radio? Did you attempt to manually flash it in FASTBOOT USB mode or by using a PG32IMG.zip file on your SD card?
It is possible that if you attempted to flash an old version 1 radio, you have now radio bricked your phone and there is no way to recover from that.

Well you had a version 2 radio and it appears that you tried to flash a version 2 radio, so that version should not have radio bricked your phone. However, the fact that your PC blue screened during the process isn't a good thing to have happen.
So have you pulled the battery and tried to get the phone booted either normally or into the bootloader by holding VOLUME DOWN and pressing the POWER button?
