[Q] Half Bricked it - HTC Incredible S

I seemed to have foolishly load either an incorrect radio or just managed to mess up my phone.
The Bad:
While trying to load a new RUU it finished but then phone just is just stuck in loop with HTC plash screen flashing up and restarting.
I did have it s-off but in my efforts to sort problem out it is now s-on again.
Revolutionary cant find the device to put it back to s-off although windows can see it in both fastboot and hboot modes.
When I select anything other than fastboot, HBoot USB or image crc in hboot screen it just restarts.
The Good:
I have a backup done from clockworkmod.
It will run an P32IMG.zip file if I put it on sdcard but I just haven't found one that fixes by problem.
The Details:
hboot: 1.09
radio: 3805.04.03.27_m
S-On
carrier unlocked
Original carrier: BELL
Any ideas? I have tried many suggestion on these forums but I suspect that I'm missing something along the line.
Thanks in advance.

I think my phone is bricked
My phone is rooted with revolutionary.
I was downloading some games on the market and then i locked my phone, when i unlocked my phone i couldn't do anything so i removed my battery. When i restarted my phone it stuck on a white screen with HTC written on it. Then after like 5 min my phone shut down and then it restarted. Then the revolutionary screen popped up and it said:
Revolutionary CWM v.4.0.1.4
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
What do i need to do??
I don't know anything about update from sdcard and stuff so tell me how to do it please!

Please do not triple post by hijacking threads. You have an answer on one of the other duplicate posts.

Try and put a new bootloader from here :
Code:
http://d-h.st/users/Inferi0r/?fld_id=2599#files
I suggest HBOOT-2.02.0002 S-OFF Blackrose
That should solve the S-off issue , after that just flash a new ROM
Also that's a very old radio I suggest updating it.
You can also find the radio section in the link above

Just answer the following question before we can help you
is your bootloader Unlocked..???(bootlader not the S-on thingy)
are you able to successfully boot into recovery..????

I also had this fault, but there was nothing wrong, all work properly (wipe, and rom install).

hi please help!! after i s-off and got CWM and installed ics rom, i tried to update the radio but for some reason i mistakenly updated the radio through the bootloader, so now i just got htc white screen looping what do i need to do?
thanks

First thing you need to do is get the PG32IMG.zip file deleted from your sd card. That is probably preventing you from getting back into CWM recovery, right?

i have remove the PG32IMG.zip in my sdcard already. but have flashed it back then i think that the thing thats preventing.

already working just fastboot flash anther radio haha
thanks

Just can't install any ROM

hi,
after some theme ****ed up my CM 4.2.15.1 installation I tried to to a fresh new install, but it doesn't seem to work.
First of all some information that might be useful, dunno:
DREA110 PVT 32B
HBOOT-0.95.0000
CPLD-4
RADIO-1.22.12.29
I downgraded to RC7 (Kila_uk-user 1.0 TC5 RC7 112931 ota-rel-keys) again and did the telnet-thingy to install the recovery image, which works fine - but here's where the problem starts.
I wanted to install DRC83_base_defanged (as the CMWiki says) from the recovery mode but it simply says "Installation aborted".
Also wiping, recovery etc. doesn't work at all. No matter what update.zip I want to install, it's the same every time. I googled for like 5 hours now and can't find any solution, please don't flame me if I was simply too stupid for proper searching, trust me I did ^^
The same thing happens to me when using the CM recovery and the RA one. Am I right that this can't be because I have no root? Because if I can install the recovery images, I should have root, right? please help me I'm getting crazy, trying to make it work for the whole day now
thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english and newbiness ^^

the only thing I can think of is one of your partitions has become corrupt
its happened to me before ( well truth be known I did a flash_image system /sdacard/nandriod....system.img , don't do that )
here is how to confirm
from RA Recovery go to console, and type
mount /system
then
mount /data
and then
mount /cache
if any of those complain, then we are closer to fixing it
you need to erase the problem partition with fastboot
fastboot is part of the android sdk, you can hopefully find install instructions somewhere on this forum or google.
once you have fastboot setup, you need to get into fastboot mode on the phone, do this by holding the camera button when turning your phone on, you should see skateboards
hook your phone up to pc via usb
select fastboot on the phone ( fastboot should be in a red block )
then on pc
fastboot erase < the broken partition >
e.g. if system failed to mount
fastboot erase system
Hope this helps
ok the cache seems to be broken, now i just have to get familiar with the android sdk and how that fastboot stuff works
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3083753
will help
and you can get to fastboot a little faster,
use back + power
but camera + power
and then back will work

[Q] Problems with recovery

Hey there. I've searched all over the place but haven't actually found an answer to this question.
I unlocked the bootloader of my Bell Raider via the HTCDev unlock site. everything went fine, but when I went to try and load the recovery file PH39IMG.zip, I keep getting an error:
Model ID Incorrect!
Update Fail!
Press Power to reboot.
While the bootloader is searching the PH39IMG.zip file, it says No Image Present before it comes back with the error
In HBOOT it says
***UNLOCKED***
Holiday PUT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.83.0014
MIcrop-0360
eMMC-boot
I've tried to run supertools.exe but it doesn't seem to do anything and now going through Terminal (mac) or CMD prompt on PC my computer can't find the device.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Never Mind. Figured it out. Finally got Terminal to recognize it and flashed the recovery file from there. SD card just wasn't working.

Vivid won't boot past white HTC screen

I am hoping to get some advise /help with an issue I'm experiencing with my HTC Vivid ( A gift form a friend in the US).
The phone worked perfectly for the first few weeks I had it but as of a few days ago it keeps 'hanging' on he white HTC screen.
I have tried a couple of things mentioned on the forum , installing a new custom ROM (was running Holics 0.8 and downloaded and tried with 1.1).
I am able to run through the whole setup however it still won't boot through.
What I have noticed is if I hold down vol- and power I get:
Juopunut Bear
Holiday PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBoot-1.85 252
SD Chekcing - Loading [ PHDIAG39.Zip ]
No Image !!!
-------
It does this for a few things and then goes through to the main screen with Fastboot , Recovery etc.
If I click Recovery I go through to CWM-Based recovery v5.5.0.4 , but this also gives errors at the bottom of the page:
E:Can't find mount /cache/recovery/command
E:Can't find mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't find mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
My computer detects something is plugged in if I plug it in but HTC sense doesn't and neither does the Stock RUU application.
I can't browse to the card if the phone is plugged in either (not being detected as external storage).
If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.
If you can open hboot then fastboot I would relock the boot loader run the stock ruu rom then go back and unlock , root , ect.

How do I run the stock RUU ? can I just put it on the SD card ?
I'm sure on the sd thing , but what you will need to do is go to htcdev .com and relock the bootloader
Then download the stock ruu and just follow the prompts and let it finish do not unplug the USB cord till its done .
Once its done you will still have s off but a relocked bootloader and unrooted stock ics
Then you can just go and do the unlock, root, then flash away via sd card.
Just open the file of the ruu it should open up .

To run the RUU
relock your bootloader in fastboot fastboot oem lock
and then run the RUU

Unfortunately as mentioned in my original post the stock RUU doesn't detect my phone , neither does HTC sync app
Can you get in hboot ? If so select fastboot once it is selected it will pop up fastboot USB then it should see the phone.

Worked like charm ! Thank you very much , that was the step I was missing.

So you were in fastboot mode, plugged it in, the PC detected the phone, which allowed you to issue the OEM relock command.
Then... you get the phone into Fastboot mode again, plug it in, PC detects it, then run the RUU... but the RUU doesn't see it? IS there a specific message that the RUU gives you?
Good Job.
When I was first hacking up my Vivid, I had issues with my phone not being detected. Sometimes I'd have have to restart my machine just to get it to pick up. The RUU wouldn't see it, and even "adb devices" would show no device connected. It's just one of those WINDOWS things I guess.
One thing you want to ensure you do is close the HTC Sync app, then on the phone, switch between Hard Drive and Charge only mode a few times. checking with "adb devices" or "fastboot devices" should tell you whether or not it's connected.
I've never had a problem with the phone not picking up when I reboot it into fastboot though.
Question if my phone is low battery can I still do this message my phone seems to be semi bricked I'm s-on

One S - Stuck In Loop After Maximus HD Install

I browsed a few other threads, and tried to update the recovery with the latest version per the advice of a member, and prior to this, it was just stuck at the green HTC screen with the red disclaimer under it. And after flashing the newest recovery TWRP it has begun to loop.
I also cannot boot into recovery now. Only fastboot is working,.
Phone info is:

I believe everything is set for the Maximus ROM to work, but if I am missing something I would appreciate the feedback and help.

This is HTC ONE forum not ONE S , you can try with RUU.exe while you're in bootloader or " fastboot oem rebootRUU "

My bad, I was following posts about this ROM and assumed they were discussing the same phone. But it appears that there isn't a S thread, only an X for this model..
This takes me to a silver HTC logo and hangs there... I have fastboot access, but i cant get ADB to talk to the phone. But with fastboot I can push a new recovery img but still not allowing me into any recovery.
If you cant get into recovery donwload a RUU and get your phone flashed with it from FASTBOOT.

Changed TWRP to CWM which is at least allowing me into recovery mode.
Thinking I will have to transfer the files with another android phone onto the memory and try to install the rom again?
Mounting USB fails, it just makes a sound like I have added a drive to my PC non stop every few seconds, and I cant mount anything. formatted it and it seems to have settled it a bit. But I cant do anything with the storage via USB in Windows. Just updated to the latest clockwork for my model and still no success...
With latest version I cant even sideload at the moment.

Ok, sorted that out, apparently the drivers were having issues, and when I manually picked them I became able to communicate with the phone again like normal. This is like hour 8 of the upgrade so far...
Assuming my firmware is also outdated, and from my searching I havent found an easy way to update my hboot and others without flashing a RUU Rom from T-Mobile, any alternatives to doing that?
Pretty sure I killed it. Downloaded the latest RUU from T-Mobile, after relocking the bootloader and turning S-on, it ran fine, completed, rebooted the phone and now its totally dead. No charge light, doesnt turn on at all. And I was just thinking to myself how hard it is to brick a phone since I have yet to kill one with all of my misadventures....oops. We'll see what happens..
Had you read the HTC One S forum, you would have found out that this particular phone can get hard bricked up S-OFF with SuperCID and then a RUU update is ran.

ATT XT1097 No Root Bootloop

The other night my AT&T Moto X 2nd Generation died before I could get to a charger. When I charged it up, it would try to boot up again and again and it would just go to the first screen with the Motorola logo in the blue circle. I put it in fastboot mode and tried to boot up that way, but same result. So then I tried recovery mode and wiping the data and factory resetting it, but that wouldn't exactly work either. It would start to erase everything, but then it would just display the green robot with the red triangle above, no text below it. After it sat there for a second the screen would start to flicker until I touched the button to go back to recovery mode. Back in recovery mode it displayed the error message. So bottom line is, it won't boot up and I haven't rooted it or unlocked the bootloader. What direction do I need to go in?
Thanks guys.
P.S. -- I also haven't updated it since early this year, so it may not be running the newest version of lollipop. Here's a few pieces of information
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S)
60.12
Before wipe data/factory reset:
qe 0/0
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log/last_install
After wipe data/factory reset
Internal and external memory cannot be mounted
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_install
E:Failed closing /dev/block/platfor/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/mis
(I/O error)
This may be a simple fix but I just can't seem to find the right information for me. I just need to get this phone back up and running.
Try flashing the stock firmware:

The download didn't work because it failed to start but I'll look around for another one. I can do this without rooting or unlocking anything?
So I downloaded a version but now the problem is getting it on the device so I can flash it. I can't unlock my bootloader so I can't use TWRP, but more importantly I can't move any files via adb. Ideas?

Search these forums for how to restore to stock. You don't transfer this file to your phone. You can use fastboot to flash it or rsdlite.
