[Q] OS update failure

Hi folks,
I am not familiar with the terminologies that is used in this website, and the thing is i was trying to update my OS on HTC incredible S using the official OTA update, but during the update process after downloading the update package and amid the installation it was shut down automatically and its now like a dead phone and i can't either turn it on anymore and it always gets stuck in the installation process every time i try to turn the cellphone on. To my knowledge, It seems that it has lost its boot file and can not load the system.
It would be appreciated if you guys could help me figuring out what has happened to my phone and what i can do to recover its normal status !
BTW, my cellphone is nor rooted and has no warranty !!!
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
Regards,
Saeed

By hboot i suppose that you mean holding down a specific key and then booting !
I have tried that but the problem is i think because the update process was interrupted while installing the new OTA, i guess the device has lost its boot file and i need to do something to recover it.
BTW, i have heard that some guys try to change the board in order to repair this kinda failure !
What do u think guys please help me recover its status .. i'm so pissed off

Did you try taking the battery out and putting it back in?
Also if it did shut off during radio or hboot update you now own some expensive trash.

Also there are variety of recover options, one is J-Tag, second fastboot methods and so on. Soon, if ai have free time I make you a guide about it.

The phone can't be connected to PC in order to run RUU

You can use the ruu when your device can enter the boatloader, and it seams to do that.

[Q] HTC Incredible S - Bricked

Ok here it is.
I am a newbie to XDA. I have been using my HTC INCREDIBLE S for the past 6 months (I basically got this from a friend who migrated to Iphone ). I am new to Rooting and Custome ROM loading.
My HTC phone stopped working since few days , it just comes till the HTC logo on white background and remains hung there.
Since my HTC was restarting every now and then I did a HARD FORMAT (Volume down+Power button and then Factory Reset) which I feel now I shud not have done 

My HTC is S-locked so any suggestions to load custom rom , pls let me know how to S-off now that my HTC is hung (can’t do it from HTC website as the phone is hung)

You can go to the HTCDEV.com site and download the last official ICS RUU for the IncS and see if you can execute and run that to bring your phone back to life.

Can you post a screen shot of your bootloader (HBOOT) screen? Do you have the original box the phone came in? If so, can you post the Model ID?

[Q] Need help with this HTC Sprint.

I accidentally posted this in HTC wrong section. There I found out this to be a Sprint one.
Hey guys.
I am back. After a long time. U guys helped to fix my HTC orbit.
Now I got another one. It's got no OS when I got it.
I am posting some pictures for better presentation.
Front
Back
The issue I have is seen below.
Closeup
All I can get to from the phone is what you see in the picture.
I need a good ROM for this.
Please advice what I should do.
Thanks

It appears to be a Sprint One
You can fix it by running the RUU found HERE

thnx bigdaddy619.
Are u sure it would do the trick.
I believe I have to update thru sync manager.
I downloaded the HTC sync manager and and tried to see if it detects the phone.
I don't think it does cause I do not see my phone android version or sense version or anything in sync manager.
I can see the Android USB Device in the device manager. I believe the USB drivers are installed. The phone changes to FASTBOOT USB when I connect the USB cable. Means the phone enters FASTBOOT automatically.
Do I still go about download the RUU ROM from HTC and try it?
The HTC sync app says it cannot find device

I am just a novice but you could try updating your profile to see if that restores service.

search a little dude, that problem has been solved a hundred times in the sprint forum

It worked. Changed some settings.
Now another problem.... Installed TWRP and restarted. Now back to square one. Same as before.
But it does boot to TWRP but not to OS.
Update gives an unknown error 115.
So removed TWRP. Now it is stuck in HTC logo with white background not black original boot logo. It won't turn off. So had to let the battery go down to shutdown. Now charging. Will try the original ROM again and post back.

sorry

Bummer
It says
Security fail!
Update fail!
What to do :crying:

Hey, so I was able to get it working. Since we had similar issues I'd figure i'd share:
So I re-locked the bootloader trying o flash using the RUU but that wasn't working.
Solution: I flash the Firmware for Sprint Verizon and BOMB ! Like Magic my baby came back!
