Is it possible to unbrick the htc Incredible S if the battery is flat during the midst of flashing ROMS?
I'm flashing right now and I'm rather scared because my battery is low
That wouldn't brick it...
Just don't flash a radio if your battery is low!

Radio = baseband...
Check the development section first page at the top for every radio file.
Be careful flashing them, don't ever flash on a low battery or pull the battery out during flashing

i thouught radios can only be flashed when u have radio s-off? as far as i know.. revolutionary doesnt provide radio s off. (not sure, been in a cave for too long )
I don't know though, I not even sure what are radios and I went ahead to flash them. The last I flashed was a radio from Android Revolution HD.
So is radio the thing which require you to open up a command prompt alike thing and type in something like " fastboot" or what. .
Sorry for asking a noob question , what do radios actually do other than affecting your signals and calls? ?

Radio is not command prompt, it is the range of frequencies your phone uses.
It controls calls and call it quality, signal strength, gps, texting, 3g/hspa, wifi, etc...
Maybe someone here can help me.
I have a custom recovery/bootloader, and what I have done is copied android revolution HD and CyanogenMod7 onto my memory card.
I go into recovery, wipe dalvik, wipe cache, factory reset THEN install either of these ROM'S
it installs and says its completed then I go to reboot the phone. It's just got the HTC logo/text with white background and does not change. Not sure what is wrong here. It's S-ON, but is rooted apparently, so I can flash custom ROM'S just not flash radios etc.
I did however try like 5 custom roms, and the only one that works so far is 'MiUi' but it is buggy and wifi does not work. Dunno why.. don't really like the look and feel of it though. So want to try cyanogenmod or either android revolution.
I can't even go back to stock as easily, I've tried, (ran the .exe, opened up %tmp% and taken the rom.zip and did a series of commands to do it) and comes back with failed. I have HBOOT 1.16.0000 though and all of the stock ROMs say 1.13.0000, so not sure what to do.

I have an Incredible 2.3.4 with this taken from HBOOT
Incrediblec XC Ship S-On
HBOOT-0.92.0000
Microp-0417
Touch Panel-ATMEL224_16ab
Radio-2.15.10.07.07
Ok, so here is my problem, I want to be rooted and I want S-off, but I cannot get anything done. The phone wouldn't recognize the SD Card, I got that taken care of. The phone does the 5 Vibrates when turning it on unless I have the USB plugged in and I do a battery pull. (This really screws up updates/RUU fixes where updates are necessary). And along those lines I tried an RUU back to 2.1 which didn't work because of the restart issue, but then I was able to run the update after booting into HBOOT USB but the RUU failed ultimately.
I've tried to gain root access through unrevoked 3.22, it simply says failed to push recovery, terminated. I've tried rooting using zergRush, it tells me that it has found a path and that its sending zergs, then it just stops without telling me what happened and kicks me back out of adb shell. This is a recurring problem, I will be in adb shell and then randomly and for no reason it was kick me out to the root of my computer.
I'm working on a Windows 7 64 bit machine, I have been using an ADB mini download, but have also tried working through the installed ADB with equal results.
If anyone has any idea of what I could be doing wrong or different please let me know. I really need some kind of help because I am at a major loss.
2.3.4 on the Incredible has not yet been rooted, therefore the rooting software (Unrevoked) has not been updated with a root method. That would be why it's not working for you. I've never tried to downgrade to an old version using an RUU, so I can't really speak to that.
Also, this was posted in the incorrect forum. You should have posted in the Q&A section, as this has nothing to do with development.
What about the radio?
I was wondering this same thing because my wife's Incredible isn't rooted, but she's on 2.3.4. If she ever asks me to root her phone to put something on it or give her some feature not otherwise available, I'd rather be prepared if possible.
While looking over the UnRevoked site, I noticed it didn't really mention the Android versions it worked with, just the radios. I wonder if it's possible to just flash the radio to 2.15.00.07.28, which is rootable, according to the UnRevoked site, and try the UnRevoked Forever tool?
The radios are pretty easy to get here after all.
I'm not recommending this without some confirmation from someone with a lot more experience rooting than I have though, so Caveat Emptor!
Just a thought.
Cheers!

You can flash radios in the bootloader, but, having S-ON, the zip file may need to be signed, so i'd say NO it's not possible to flash a radio w/o root.
Yeah, flashing radios with s-on is a brick magnet.
There is thread on downgrading to 2.2 and rooting in dev. It works.

Actually it just wouldn't flash, because the file wouldn't be signed by HTC, so it wouldn't (shouldn't) brick the phone.

I just bought a used Hero as a temporary phone and I'm trying to get off the stock rom. I rooted the phone and flashed a MIUI rom. It got stuck on the splash screen during boot. Not feeling like dealing with it, I just ended up RUUing it. Then I rerooted it and tried another rom...same deal. Now I back to stock again. Any thoughts on how to fix this?
Thanks
You didn't firate anything, did you?
Try manualy flashing the boot.img in the rom from fastboot. Sometimes thats the problem.

Good idea. I'd need abd for that though to run the commands right? I'm really trying hard to avoid installing it on my computer.
Why ?? If your going to be modding your phone s-off,eng-bootloader & adb are all tools you will definitely need. If not then you may have a few headaches down the line if something goes wrong.

I won't be doing anything beyond flashing a custom rom.
I just dug up my Hero. It had CM6 previously. I tried flashing an updated ROM and it does not get past the HTC logo. I tried 4 different ROMs. Using CMW recovery. Wipe/Format all...and nothing.
Yeah I'm completely out of ideas. I may just have to suck it up and install adb.
Which version of CWM are you running? I've used 2.5.0.1 for all of my ROMs and never had a problem. I should have the zip to flash through recovery and the HERCIMG flashable through HBOOT if you wanna try.

Adb is a breeze to install. Takes less than 20 min. Pm me if and when you wanna set it up, and believe me when I say you will not regret it. Adb makes modding your phone a little easier.

What radio do you have? I remember people having issues when using the older radio (.27) instead of the newer (.29). Then again, it might not make a difference at all either. Just a thought.
i second drunkpilots radio idea, thats what gave me a headache for an hour the other night wondering why my cm7 wouldnt boot, updated to newest sprint radio and bam booted right up
Alright I just upgraded my radio. What's the best/easiest way to root it from here since I'm back to stock now?
So, i got an HTC ONE in august or so, and then i had it rooted last month or so, but i didnt really do anything. The problems all started going downhill last night. I was looking on how to update it to 4.3 Jellybean, and when i downloaded the ZIP, i went to my recovery(Teamwin or something) and installed it, but after that ,my phone would use like a black screen and not everything would work. So somebody suggested that if that occurs, factory reset your phone, or wipe it. And i did both, and then i ended up here. I have No OS, my screen is stuck on the "HTC-QUIETLY BRILLIANT" Page, and nothing works. The only thing that i can access is my bootloader and my recovery, etc. I am what you guys may call a half-way noob, i know a lot, but this topic is totally confusing the heck out of me. If somebody could help me fix this, i would owe them so much. Please help out a fellow HTC Oner.

Now, it says in the tutorial that you need to enable usb debugging and stuff, but how would i do that? All i need to do is install a stock rom so i can just get 4.3 and move on. I havent used my phone in a lonnng time and i need it very much!

I'm not an expert, but it doesn't seem too bad if you can get into recovery. First thing is to find out if you have a suitable ROM on the phone. If you inadvertently wiped internal data, you will probably need to sideload a ROM. If you do have a ROM on the phone AND you are sure it is one for the M7WLS, you can try flashing it again. If it were me, I'd download a stock rooted ROM and either sideload it or just push it via ADB. Your problems might have been the result of a bad download or installing a ROM for the wrong phone. If you did indeed flash a GSM ROM, the RUU is the way to go, but I've never messed with that process, so hopefully someone else will give you more details on that process.

Here use these for the drivers. Make sure you have no other drivers installed, if you do delete them and install those drivers. There should be a tutorial.
Hello all,
I'm sorry to interrupt you all, but this is rather important!
I tried to root my girlfriends Velocity 4G which she got with her contract with A1 (austrian carrier).
I already flashed a One S and knew of the complications a root for HTC could bring.
So I tried to get everything together before flashing and then I did it...
Got the bootloader unlocked, installed TWRP and flashed sun_dreams rom.
Don't worry, I wiped all clean and think I did it the right way (already flashed 4 other phones, but samsungs').
But I seem to have missed something as I got in a neverending bootanimation (white background with green htc logo).
I know, that you sometimes have to wait a few minutes, but after about 5 minutes or so, I thought I was stuck on boot loop.
So I rebooted, flashed it again and rebooted and nothing changed.
I then read about the boot.img... So I extracted the boot.img and did a full wipe, then installed it, after that the rom and then (just to be safe) three times again the boot.img.
Rebooted and now I got the reboot loop (white background with green logo, then black, then white background again and so on)
I tried everything and as I was about to give up, read about the final solution: the RUU or PH39IMG.zip.
Now the problem is: I cant get either of them to work. At all. When trying to flash the RUU (with bootloader relocked), the programm says: "ERROR 170: No device connected".
I read about some other people having the same problem, so I tried the solution given to them: go to the first screen, then to your temp data, extract the rom.zip, rename it and flash that one, via putting it on the external sd and booting into bootloader.
Didn't work either: Wrong CID. Same for all RUUs I could find even closely related to my phone.
As I couldn't find the real correct RUU, I tried to cheat and use the goldcard to overgo the cid-problem.
Because I couldn't boot up the Velocity 4G I tried to make one with my own Galaxy S2, which worked.
Seems to be the wrong way, since it's the wrong CID anyways, when trying to install the PH39IMG (still all RUUs say ERROR 170).
I might need to mention I didn't do the S-OFF thing, as I didn#t want to mess with the hardware... Is that necessary for my problem to getting fixed?
Maybe I just need the one correct RUU for my model, but I can't find it anywhere!
please help me somebody, as I feel very guilty because of wrecking my girlfriends phone! :crying:
any help is appreciated!!!
greetings

So far so good... but where do I get it from?
I have this one:
RUU_HOLIDAY_SENSE3_5_Vodafone_DE_2.38.162.1_Radio_3.02.4740.09_34.20.701040.19_release_241518_signed
But this one won't work either...
What complicates the search, is that this phone goes by so many different names (vivid, velocity, holiday, raider, etc...)
Should I post a getvar all?
Concerning your further steps: I would be very happy to get it to run at all, maybe then think of reflashing something.
I don't know if I manage that s-off thing and I don't want to hard brick it and give it the final punch...
anyways, thanks for the fast response!

I already did that with all the RUUs I found, but none worked...
EDIT: so I tried a solution offered by another poster in another forum which said to install CM10 on a clean wipe.
did that and it booted in the cm boot screen and loads the "first install wizard"... well, at least to the language selection screen, then it freezes and reboots again.
but at least we bought us some time at the start.

Its because of a wrong hboot...
It will happen with all of the ICS+ ROMs...

so, you're basically saying i might be able to get it to work without any RUUs or PH39IMGs?
Wow, that would be good news at last.
I already reunlocked before i flashed the CM10 rom and i didn't forget to flash the boot.img afterwards and even went back again to recovery to wipe cache and dalvik and fixed permissions.
Which one should i try?
thank you for your help!! :good:
is updating the hboot even possible without s-off?
so it seems i have to obtain s-off to flash anything else than stock rom...
as far as i read you have to be on stock ruu to obtain s-off, is that correct?
because that would be bad, as i don't have the stock ruu for my phone.
is it possible to acquire s-off without being on stock rom and would it be possible with the state my phone is in?

Okay, so I did manage to fix it, as it seems... :laugh:
This is what I did:
1. reunlocked bootloader
2. installed TWRP and booted into recovery
3. mounted the internal SD as mass storage
4. copied over VJRaiders GB rom
5. did a full wipe
6. installed VJRaiders rom
7. rebooted into bootloader
8. fastboot flashed the kernel found in the rom thread (twice)
9. rebooted and it worked...
I don't know how and why, but the problem seemed to be that I always tried to flash non-GB roms. As simple as that.
I have no idea why the RUU and PH39IMG didn't work tho...
Well. I won't touch that thing for a looong time, as it works and I had enough problems getting there!
The reason that you had problems with ics and upward roms is because your phone still has the gb hboot. This is because boss never released the ics update. To install ics roms you need the ics hboot.

Correct, I believe. If you didn't get an official update to ICS, you'll have to S-Off. It's honestly not as bad as it sounds, I did mine with some speaker wire...probably the worst part of it is getting the cover off of the section where you have to ground out the point. Just take your time, and make sure you're in a well lit area, with a little bit of working space, and you'll be fine.
well, the problem is, that we are not longer on a stock rom and can't seem to flash the original ruu, as we don't find it anywhere...
and as far as i know it is not recommended or possible to go s-off without being on stock rom!?
AFAIK it is UNTESTED... Not impossible

If this is anything like other HTC devices, i'd say your best shot if you're willing to try an untested idea, would be to give it a shot with a sense rom, as they tend to be (under the hood anyways) a lot closer to stock than non sense roms.
