[Q] S-Off Incredible S Stuck in the white screen with htc logo

Hi there,
I hope somebody can help me with this.
I have a htc IS S-off, rooted and running with a custom ROM (the mike1986 ROM, which is incredible!!).
Yesterday, my kid took my phone and start "playing" with it and when I´ve realized it, it was to late... He had entered into the recovery (Clockworkmod v3.0.2.6) and deleted some important/ sensitive data (i guess).
The situation is that, now, the phone doesn´t start working. It just stucks in the white screen with the HTC logo.I´m able to enter into the Hboot and, which is more strange, into the Clockworkmod recovery but when I reboot the system it just doesn´t start.
I´ve tried to reflash that ROM and other ROMS, but the result is always the same (Which gives me to the conclusion, speaking from my absolutely ignorance, that it shoudn´t be a ROM problem...).
I´ve also tried to make a "Factory reset", but the result is the same.
Important: When I enter into the recovery, it appears different lines of tex2t informing that: "E: can´t mount cache/ recovery/ command, log & last log. I´ve also browsed in the "advance" options of the recovery, and the system appears always unmount, and it doesn´t allow me to mount it (I don´t know if this is important or not).
Does somebody have an idea about how to fix this problem?
I would really appreciate if somebody could help me with it.
Thank you in advance!

Go to the mounts and storage menu ... format everything except your sdcard and flash mike's rom again ... see if it pops out an error ... should be fixed now ... temme if the recovery says anything wierd ...

If things dont work out ... here is a last hope-
*take the rom.zip from a RUU
*rename it to PG32DIAG.zip
*mount your sdcard to your pc in CWM recovery from the mounts and storage menu
*paste the zip unto your sdcards root folder
*reboot into bootloader and it will ask you if you want to update ...this will revert to stock and you can start the whole rooting process etc again
Also if you are alpharevx soff ... you will need a goldcard ... but not if your are xtc soff

You cannot install CWM without S-OFF. What else have you done to get your phone in the state it is in.

I have a dincs in the same state. It's stuck in a boot loop and won't do anything. Spent 20 hours trying to fix it and still no luck
--------------------------
On a side note. If he can not do anything with his phone being s-on could he not just wait till later this month and s-off through HTC since that will be an available service very soon?

Ok what have you done to the phone to get it into this state? Have you gained S-Off? Are you trying to install ClockworkMod? More info please!

I believe I tried a custom Rom and did something wrong. Radio or something. No access to recovery and lost s off

Ok thanks. Since you have a Bell Mobile IncS, have you tried flashing the official BM GB RUU? That should at least get your phone going and usable.

Sorry for the late reply. I was away camping. Excellent. I will try it out and see what happens. I'll post results tonight

I actually ran the exe without extracting the Rom.zip and it worked perfectly.

[Q] I think I bricked my Vivid while trying to S-Off! (SOLVED!)

My Vivid is unlocked, but I wanted to do S-Off to have more flashing capabilities. While going through the S-Off process, I changed my mind and decided not to do the wire trick, so I unplugged the cable. Now the phone just boots up directly to a JuopunutBear screen. Even though I can get to recovery and flash a ROM, when it boots back up it just stays stuck at that same screen. Help! What should I do?
I downloaded the latest Vivid RUU from the HTC website, but it says RUU failed. Can someone please help me get my phone back up, even if it's back to stock? I tried doing the Command controlbear.exe -r and controlbear.exe -f, but it doesn't work. I'm doing it on a different computer than when I first tried to S-Off....Do I have to go back to that original computer? I don't have access to that computer right now. If there's another way (flashing something else through fastboot), please let me know! I would be very thankful for your help!

So, my phone issue is now SOLVED! YES!
Here's what I did:
I first flashed the stock kernel from the HTC Vivid All-In-One Kit (I'm sure there are other ways, but I found this was easier.) Once I did that, I went back and relocked the phone using the same tool (It was unlocked.) After I did that, I flashed the RUU from the HTC website with no issues. I'm finally back to stock!
Hope this works for anyone that has this problem with the Juopunutbear screen stuck because of an unsuccessful S-Off!

The juopunutbear screen allows adb commands, so if you or anyone experiences this issue its as easy as:
adb reboot bootloader ( gives you a chance to install a new recovery in fastboot mode )
Or
adb reboot recovery (if you have an existing wcx recovery)
If you notice you have an s-off already proceed, and if you don't its a good way to get back into the bootloader to flash a signed ph39img.zip Rom without RUU.
In recovery, flash an unsecured boot.img ( which is selectable in dark raiders Rom ), then let your vivid start up normal, reboot to recovery then flash any kernel you wish. If you don't do this in this exact method, you'll get assert failed messages if you try to flash any kernel over the juopunutbear screen, and you'll just bootloop back into the same screen over.
Half the effort with the same great results.

Help TIM HTC Dream

Hello to all
I was proceeding for a friend to the installation Padron Froyo ROM on HTC Dream brand tim.
I managed to change radio I rebooted into recovery and installed the spl.
The mobile phone has rebooted and from that moment keeps going in a loop of Tim logo.
I tried the key combinations and guides but I can not get it in fastboot it in recovery .. or at least what are the keys that lead me into recovery or fastboot because at this point I think I miss something.
someone can help me.
thank you very much

First of all this is not posted in correct section, next time please post in q&a
Radios and spls should be flashed via fastboot when possible or this situation is easy to come to. If you can not get into bootloader or recovery or have adb access then your only option is JTAG. I would suggest trying as many button combos as possible to get into os/recovery/bootloader as JTAG is not simple

Can't access CWM

Hi
I can't access CWM because I flashed a new bootloader ROM by mistake (tonyp's paranoid rom), but I needed the one for the old one. When I turn on my device, I can't do anything, but that battery charging mode with the cable plugged works. The rom doesn't start, seems to be stuck in a bootloop (but I am not sure, it is not easy to see with that boot animation). My computer can't recognize my phone in any case so I don't know what to do know to use my phone again.
If somebody knows what to do, please describe that solution good ^.^
Thanks

wipe everything and start fresh my friend
Use AIO-Toolkit and flash CWM again or just change bootloader and it'll automatically boot you to recovery mode. Just back-up your files.

Thanks D It worked. I feel pretty embarrassed now because I thought AIO wouldn't work since I didn't know about nvflash and adx.
Thanks again

HTC One Stuck at HTC Logo (bricked?)

PROBLEM IS FIXED WITH THE HELP OF USER: daorderdillon
Hello guys, i'm searching for a solution to my problem (for several hours now) but i cant find anything useful. My chrome browser is full of tabs now
What the problem is, i had Android revolution rom installed on my HTC One. I wanted to try the Maximus rom so i downloaded it straight on my HTC. I rebooted into recovery and made a nandroid backup. Then booted into the Android revolution rom again. Looked at the nandroid backup if it was there. Then rebooted into recovery again, did a wipe and wiped cache partition. Then i flashed the Maximus rom and followed all the steps via Aroma. I went away and let the installer finish. When i got back i saw the CWM Screen but no sign that the installation finished. I clicked on reboot system anyways and thats when everything started going wrong. I'm stuck on the htc logo. I can go into bootloader, but when i click on recovery it restarts, shows the CWM logo very briefly and then powers down and starts getting stuck on the htc logo again.
I've searched on xda and google but found only tutorials about adb and stuff. But when i try it, it doesnt find the device. In the tut it asks to enable 'usb debugging', but i don't know if its enabled, cause i cant boot the rom.
Can anybody please help me?
PS. Fastboot works, but i cant find a command to boot into recovery.

Well i have never used adb before, so i wouldn't know for sure. When i check how to install drivers, they all say that usb debugging must be turned on. How can i check if its installed?

ive stumpled on upon a quite annoying problem..i have an HTC ONE X+ which i unlocked my bootloader on and everything went smooth until i wanted to start recovery via hboot.
it did not start and i tried several times and restarted etcetc, i then tried to flash in another recovery and then tried more and more but nothing..
then i cant remember now exaclty how i did it, but i have several RUU, kernel, recovery, boot and roms n such items downloaded
so i tried to feed in another flash or rom or whatever its called to get the recovery funtion to work (i am not very pro at this) and then when i wanted to start my phone normally it all of a sudden wont boot properly.
it freezes on the bootscreen.. i can turn off and go in to bootloader but i cant do ANYTHING from there, i cant do a factory reset (wich i also tried when the recovery did not want to work) i cant do **** there. tried to lock and unlock bootloader.. feels like im out of options..
the only thing i can do now is command the phone via cmd and the toolkit i use from here "Hasoon2000s htc one x AIO kit"
using this guide on this thread mostly..
ive tried so many things now, searched this and other forums since friday and i still can not get anywhere... starting to think this is what the definition of a bricked unit is??
if you need any more info please just ask.. i bought the phone a week ago so kinda sucks if it would be useless for me right away haha..
i would appreciate som help and tips... please
Sincerely Jeff

Need some help daorderdillon...I have an HTC One M8
I wanted to flash to the UNROOTED Google Play Edition...so I rooted, TWRP'ed and did the S-OFF
and then tried to flash the ROM while in RUU mode...it gave me back a "41 error"...
so I tried to change the ModelID in the android.txt file...flashed, and then my HTC One M8 kept going into the HTC logo screen with 4 triangle error screen
When I do fastboot oem reboot, it gets me back into the device - but any normal restart after, and I'm back in the HTC logo error screen
I can't go into recovery mode either - using the POWER and UP / DOWN buttons or through the software...
Stuck, and I really don't know what to do
Thanks in advance!
