[Q] Freezing while Flashing or just about anything. - HTC Incredible S

Just going to start by saying I'm an absolute noob with Android, so I'm sorry for the burden.
Ok, Randomly my phone decided it wouldn't proceed past the HTC Splash screen. So obviously I searched for a problem and found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1337105
Now before anything is said on this I'm going to say being nooby and all I wasn't sure whether I should post on ^^ That or make a new thread about specifically this topic.
Back to topic, I managed to unlock the phone, but whenever I try to flash the recovery it does nothing and I get this on my command:
c:\Android>fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-vivo.img
sending 'recovery' (3726 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.173s]
writing 'recovery'...
And the phone completely freezes. Also might be worth mentioning that when I unlocked it it did not go back to the HBOOT menu and I had to remove the battery.
I tried this multiple times with the same outcome.
Currently on the HBOOT menu the details are:
*** UNLOCKED ***
VIVO PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.00.0000
RADIO-3822.10.08.28_M

My phone carrier is Optus (AUS) not sure if that helps with anything though.
I've searched all night for a solution but found nothing.

The OTA update cannot be applied to a phone that was S-Off with Revolutionary. You should be able to pull the battery to reboot into Recovery mode and restore your backup to get going again.

It is simple - restore S-ON and everything will be OK. Search this forum - there was nice manual to do that. Had this "fun" 2 days ago...

Please do not hijack a thread and then ask a question that isn't even relavent to the topic.
You need to search this forum and next time definitely give more information such as I used [fill in the blank] method to S-Off my IncS. What is the procedure I can use to get back to S-On?
Follow this beautiful guide go back to S-ON, tried myself AMD it works flawlessly..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1359555
You should have the hboot version which you had previously..
Read carefully you will gain s-on..
After s-on run the RUU sense 3 exe file which you have downloaded but don't install from pc.. before doing this procedure you should make a goldcard.. search for that in google .. once you make a gold card, put the extracted file of that RUU from temp folder ( I guess you know how to do that ) , name it PG32IMG.zip and reboot your phone by pressing volume down+power phone will search for that file and follow on screen procedure.. it will install sense 3.0.. and your phone will start working again.. don't panic...
Info about making goldcard found here though it says for desire hd it works for incredible s too..
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-make-gold-card-for-htc-desire-hd/
PS : you have to make a gold card so your phone does not give you a signature error.. I was stuck with the same problem after updating the latest release but now my phone is working perfectly again..

There is no ruu you can use for that version with s-on.
If you have a nandroid backup of your phone, push it back and restore it.
You can also push a rom to your phone and install it from a custom recovery then optionally you can try to s-off using that rom and then restore back to stock using a ruu with s-off
and btw questions must be posted in the q&a section not in general (a moderator will probably move you thread there)

[Q] Need help desperately - Back to stock

I was using the latest Viper Rom and my Camera busted on my phone. So naturally I needed to get the M7 back to stock. I have never done it before so I did some searching and found the method right in this same forum.
So Walking through the instructions everything went well
I locked the bootloader
went through the process of flashing the stock rom with fastboot and it keeps erroring out. I am consistently getting "FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))" I tried the RUU and I keep getting unknown errors from those too. I have tried multiple PC and different usb cables and ports. I am completely stumped.
I was under the impression that it didn't matter which stock ROM you tried but I did try many different ones.
Would anyone have any suggestions?
I'm not sure what RUU guide you used, but I and a few others have had success with the guide I wrote. Try it and follow up here or in that thread if you have issues (or if it worked for you).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...de-reset-phone-using-ruu-htcfastboot-t2876110
Thanks for the links and the response. I followed your step to a tee and got to step 6 and tried to flash the firmware. I am s-off and when I pushed the firmware o am now getting;

Thanks again for your help.
Just another thing I noticed with your guide
4. If you are s-off, you do not need to lock the bootloader. If you are s-on, then you need to lock the bootloader by typing "fastboot oem lock" (again, no quotes)
s-off means the bootloader is unlocked and s-on means that it is locked. so your instructions are a little unclear. I am assuming that you meant that you need the bootloader locked.
On a whim I unlocked my bootloader again using fastboot and my BIN file and my phone did finally boot back to the Viper rom instead of being stuck on the Bootloader screen. I am curious why going s-on is making the phone fail and soft bricking the phone. Maybe my HBOOT is wrong? Could my Twerk recovery corrupted HBOOT?
Thanks again for your help!

I think this is the issue: since you are s-off, you should have ignored step 4 and not have locked your bootloader. A locked bootloader will not allow you to flash the firmware (it fails the security check since it wasn't created by HTC). Unlock your bootloader and try to flash the firmware file again. The reason I'm not sure is because it was my impression that an s-off phone ignores the locked/unlocked flag. But, I never lock my bootloader so I'm not sure.
By the way, s-off =/= unlocked and s-on =/= locked. Phones start as locked and s-on. Unlocking the bootloader through HTC Dev allows you to install custom recoveries and ROMs. However, it is limited because you are still s-on (security on). For example, you can only upgrade hboots, but can never downgrade to an older one. Same with RUUs. Being s-off is very flexible but more dangerous as you can access normally protected partitions. Hope that clears things up some.
Thank you again for your help. I seem to be a little more confused now. Line 4 of your guide states;
4. If you are s-off, you do not need to lock the bootloader. If you are s-on, then you need to lock the bootloader by typing "fastboot oem lock" (again, no quotes)

Why would I lock the the bootloader using "fastboot oem lock" if I already have s-on. You said you can not flash firmware with s-on but line 4 says I should before I flash firmware. What I just got from you, am I understanding right that I should not "fastboot oem lock" before you flash the firmware? If you are s-on the bootloader is already locked and you would not be able to do step 5.
I am s-off right now. Would I flash the firmware now, then s-on when run the RUU?
Unlocked bootloader does not = s-off.
My guess is you are unlocked not s-off.
S-OFF explained - by a Developer
So if I need to update the firmware do I need to be s-on or s-off? I need to get the phone back to stock and am having a really hard time.

Easiest way to go back to stock is to RUU. If you are s-on you need to re-lock (it will tell you in bootloader if you are s-on or s-off)
Updating firmware can be done s-on (need to re-lock bootloader) or s-off (no locking required).

I rooted and flashed TEAMWIN recovery and Viper 7.1 - My Camera started acting up and I couldn't talk on calls so I wanted to get it back to stock. The only thing I was able to do successfully trying to get it back to stock was lock the bootloader. Everything beyond that has failed.

Running the RUU.exe I recieve an unknown error. Am I screwed?
Ok first off you are using the wrong RUU.
You need to use the 5.05.651.2 RUU
So, you are s-on and relocked (you said s-off before so that threw me off). Because you are s-on, you may not be successful flashing the firmware, hence the security warning in the first box (see the link explaining s-off that @BD619 left). I probably need to fix my guide to reflect that issue. In the second box, you get an error trying to relock which makes sense since you are already locked. In the third box, it looks like you get an error since you are trying to flash an older RUU (not allowed since you are s-on).
At this point, as BD said, you should be able to just go here and download the ruu exe (it's the first link). I run it as an administrator just to be safe. Follow the prompts and wait around ten minutes for it to do its thing.
Don't get too frustrated. The (forced) learning process from this is very valuable. BD and I are just members who have been on here long enough to have a good understanding of what's going on. Not speaking for BD, but I started on here knowing next to nothing about Android except it's based on Linux.

Well thank you both! I was able to successfully flash the 5.05.651.2 RUU. Such a simple thing that was causing me such problems. I was under the impression that the RUU version didn't make a difference. I wish they would add that to the guides! Well thanks to both of you!

The pink tint in the camera is a well known issue and can only be repaired by replacing the camera sensor by a new model. 37-42 is pretty normal but you could try to undervolt and underclock the CPUs to decrease the performance and so the temperature but to be honest, I don't think it will change anything. So your 2 options are:
Send your phone to repair (camera change)
Don't send it and live with the fact that your pictures will often have a pink tint.

Trying to restore an old HTC One M7 to stock

Greetings,
Going through some boxes the other day I found my old HTC One M9, which I had previously unlocked and flashed with various different ROMs.. Basically, this was the first device I ever actually tried any custom ROMs. That said, it's been so long, I don't have any of my old files left and I don't remember exactly what I did.
At this moment in time, the device is booting and running Xiaomi MIUI 8 (Android 6), but I'm unable to get into TWRP (constant bootloop) and I can't flash a new recovery image.
After a "fastboot reboot bootloader", I see the following details:
Code:

When I try flash "twrp-3.3.1-1-hima.img", I get the following:
Bash:
> fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.3.1-1-hima.img
Sending 'recovery' (21852 KB) OKAY [ 2.072s]
Writing 'recovery' FAILED (remote: 'image update error')
fastboot: error: Command failed
I'm hoping to flash LineageOS from this thread, either 16.0 (as per the thread details) or the 17.1 or 18.1 available in the linked repository, but I can't do so until I get the recovery partition sorted out.
Please can someone help me fix whatever it was that I broke here..?
---
Please note: originally, I accidentally posted this in the M9 forum. I'm now creating this to replace that thread...
There was a suggestion to just try flashing the boot image first, and effectively worry about recovery later. So I will jump on that, as soon as I have this annoying "no permissions" issue with fastboot. But I do want to post this here in the meantime, just in case somebody has any other bright ideas.
..and I just realised I was trying to use the "hima" recovery, which is the codename for the One M9. I'm really out of the Android flashing game these days..
Suffice to say, this is somewhat embarrassing. Let me go try this again, using the proper files this time. I'll update things again soon..
So guess what, with the correct files, things actually flash.. Amazing how that works hey?
Anyways, after all that, I got it sorted. Flashing LineageOS now.
Nice to see some good old HTC One M7 posts these days haha
