Boot Looped Incredible S... Last Try - HTC Incredible S

Hey guys,
Last year I rooted my Incredible S and installed one of the CyanogenMods. Everything seemed to work fine until this spring when it started bootlooping on me. At first I could bootup and after running my phone for a few hours it would start looping. So I got a new battery which I thought would solve the problem, it didn't. Now I can't even boot up anymore without hitting the loop. I can only enter HBOOT.
I've tried following a few guides but I can't get anything going. Buying a new phone Friday but before thought I might as well post here. Any help?

I can enter fastboot but recovery and factory reset start a loop.
Thanks guys!

What recovery do you use?
Can you enter it?
If yes.. Just download one of your fav's roms, but it in your SD-Card, Wipe Everything, and Flash the rom (&GApps if AOSP) and reboot..
If No, Connect your Phone To PC and fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" :laugh:
Let me know if worked

Download and install a recovery, i recommend 4ext
See if u can enter it then...
I must tell ya, never give up, i remember myself forgetting to flash boot.img and having my dad almost killing me ^^

Thanks for the responses!
@Mohamed Ab M I cannot enter recovery off of hboot. I can flashboot and I tried to flash "recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-inc.img" but nothing improved. Is there something else I can try?
@oziboy Do you have a link for 4ext? I see the website but it looks like an app? Also, how do I wipe everything if fastboot is my only option right now?
Haven't given up yet but I only have until Friday!
Edit: Is there any chance this might have something to do with the radio?

ok tried two different things. Downloaded the recovery.img of 4ext from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377751 and fastboot flashed it. Nothing changed.
So I tried flashing a different radio... still no go.
Not sure what else I can try?

Well.. I can think of one thing :|
Try doing these commands in fastboot:
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase data
fastboot erase cache
Maybe something is wrong in system.. I don't know
Btw dose it say "success" when you flash a recovery? Or it fails?
And if It didn't work... Try running an RUU :| and you will lose everything:|

I don't mind losing everything, already backed up contacts and messages when I could still access the OS.
Can you recommend a good RUU to try? What is an RUU? Thanks for the help!

Then for a ruu go here http://androidruu.com/getdownload.p...33U_3831.18.00.11_M_release_266013_signed.exe
This should be the ruu that you need assuming your phone is a WWE, if you phone isnt WWE then use this to see what version is for you, make sure u only use vivo and not vivow
If the link to installation in beginning didnt work, that link was a link to the old thread of the RUU'S but anyway i posted the links for ya
Now all you gotta do is download the ruu , get ur phone to fastboot and do fastboot oem lock and then run the ruu on your computer and then go here for the rest http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1359555

Got into fastboot and entered "fastboot oem lock" but kept getting an error, command error or something.
Downloaded 4 different ruus and got the "rom.zip" file and renamed it to "update.zip" and tried "fastboot update update.zip" on all of them.... no luck. Something about wrong signature or something.
Thanks for everyone's help but I don't see anyway out here!

And u tried to run the ruu.exe without extracting the rom?
It saved my incredible s and my one x+
And to flash a rom.zip u need fastboot flash all rom.zip i think

This is actually doing something! I didn't realize I could run the RUU when plugged into fastboot. Fingers crossed here....
I got two working but both still resulted in a bootloop. Which convinces me the problem must be hardware or something. Oh well, it was a good device in its day.
Thank you for all your help!

Bootlooping is not a hardware failure..
Can you flash a recovery now? And use it?

Erm, now try extracting rom.zip and fastboot erase all and fastboot flash all rom.zip
Then id it does t work, flash the stock recovery from somewhere, only then you can use update.zip, this just came to my mind
If after flashing stock recovery try fastboot oem lock again and then go run the ruu.exe again
If it doesnt work then, then you gotta fastboot flash boot.img manually, this file is located in the rom.zip
If that doesnt work, try update.zip again with stock recovery
Must tell ya, its not hardware
You gotta give up only when your mobo is fried, and thats what i did on my htc one x+...

In the previous step I got S-ON set back on, does that change anything? Because now it seems that fastboot erase all doesn't work
erasing 'all'...
FAILED <remote: not allowed>
Trying the other steps you gave...
edit: I extracted a recovery_signed.zip file from the rom.zip file and tried to flash it using flashboot. Getting a signature error, though I know it is the correct RUU I am getting it from.
FAILED <remote: signature verify fail>

Try fastboot oem lock again, im 100 percent sure thats the command to lock it, i had almost the same issues when i failed my first try at rooting xD
Aight have you tried fastboot flash all rom.zip?
And then manually flash boot.img from the rom.zip?

None of those are working, getting errors on all them.
My HBOOT is not reading this, does this change anything?

I can't follow that guide because I can't get into the android os to turn on usb debugging. My problem is still the boot loop.

[Q] Disaster Recovery , Bricked HTC One

Hey guys I badly need help!!! I was able to convert my HTC One GSM to Google Edition just last week, but today I want to restore it to its factory ROM so I can also restore the warranty. Now the problem became visible when I tried to flash a stock ROM (not the GPE ROM). Listed below are the problems I am facing at the moment:
1. Stuck in FASTBOOT USB, and cannot boot to ROM.
2. Can't boot to recovery. Everytime I highlight and select recovery the phone just shows up the "Google" logo, then vibrates, then back fastboot USB.
3. Factory Reset not working, again shows up "Google" then restarts to fastboot usb mode.
4. I ran cmd in sdk-tools, typed in "fastboot devices", and my phone is detected. But when I type "adb devices", my phone is not listed.
5. I tried flashing CWM or TWRP through fastboot in cmd but the reply is"remote: signature verify fail", as wellas flashing a RUU for my device.
6. On bootloader is written:

*** RELOCKED ***

I have tried this several times. I even tried to flash clockwork and a few different versions of twrp, and clear the cache and when I go to recovery it shows the Teamwin splash screen and then it reboots.
It says it transferred successfully, but even when I flashed clockwork I still see the Teamwin splash when entering recovery mode.

hm i dont know if i can help anymore... but some steps to do
fastboot erase cache
then write the recovery again
again fastboot erase cache
reboot your device and then try to boot into recovery
else
flash stock recovery and then try again to flash custom recovery...
Last choice is to restore with a RUU
P.S If you dont have any luck flashing openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img then try with this version:
openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-m7.img
EDIT: twrp25.img???? i dont think this recovery is meant for htc one..you are flashing wrong version of twrp.... flash with the recoveries i mentioned above
Its correct - actually TWRP 2.5.0.0 renamed

That's just the filename that I renamed TWRP 2.5.0.0 to for a simpler command.
I found the problem but dont know how to fix it. My device is in Fastboot which means no ADB. Also without being able to boot I can't change that (at least I dont think I can.).
Anyhow the damned thing re-engaged S-ON and its blocking access to the NAND (even if its saying it wrote to it, it can't be because of S-ON).
How do I RUU?
HTC One M7 Tmobile.
Thanks for the info sir. Much appreciated.

[Q] HTC One unrooting stuck on bootloader

Hi Everyone
While trying to unroot my one i eventually got stuck on my bootloader. What happened was that I typed in "fastboot oem lock" in adb and now I can't go into recovery or reboot. I know I should install a RUU at this point but I can't find an RUU for my phone! When I get "fastboot getvar all" I see that my "version-main" is 3.23.666.1 (is that the right one to look at?) and so I've scoured for hours for an RUU but only found OTAs which I don't know how to use. If it helps I'm on HBOOT 1.55.
I also remember pressing unroot in OTA unroot (I don't remember the exact app name) and tried pressing restore root but it did nothing so I started doing the above stuff with RUUs.
I'm pretty stumped right now and I would appreciate any help at all, thank you!

If you have an unlocktoken flash it with fastboot flashunlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
If you dont have it, go to htcdev.com and visit unlock bootloader section and follow instructions there.
Once your bootloader is unlocked again, flash twrp recovery and ABD sideload some ROM.
After this you can start all over again whatever it is you were trying to do.
P.S. this will not get you the right RUU package but it will get your phone back to useful condition.
My advice is first you find an RUU for your phone and then do the bootloader manipulations.

Thanks for the reply! I did that and my phone was working fine again. I went to go flash a stock rom that I found and it flashed fine but now the NFC logo flashes in the status bar even though it's not on. Also, my wifi doesn't work! It constantly says turning on wifi.. I'm trying to flash a different stock rom but I can't enter recovery anymore I would be fine except no wifi is a bit of a problem. Thank you for the reply by the way, is there a chance you can help me find an RUU for my phone? I've searched everywhere but there doesn't seem to be one.

Thank you for the reply by the way, is there a chance you can help me find an RUU for my phone? I've searched everywhere but there doesn't seem to be one.

There is no RUU for Bell devices. Have you checked my restore to stock for canadian users thread? Post #1 should be ok for you

I took a look and I'll try it! Do you know if my device is Bell? I'm not sure how to tell.

So I managed to get my phone working again thanks to your guide! but once I went in to get my S-OFF the program got stuck on pouring 2 after I left it for an hour I hard reset my phone and now I can't boot into recovery or main OS, just bootloader. But in bootloader I see at the top that it says my phone is S-OFF but I can't do the remove tampered because I can't use adb because I can't boot into main OS! I've tried flashing different recovery TWRP but it isn't changing anything..
Any help would be greatly appreciated

did you erased cache after flashing the recovery?
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then try to boot in recovery again.

Yeah I did try to erase cache, no luck. but I managed to fix it by turning my S-OFF back to S-ON by typing fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
after that I flashed twrp again and then i was able to boot up to OS again. Thanks for the help everyone!

that's not your fastboot getvar all, however, the most important part is there which is your OS number, 5.16.161.2 is Vodafone, there is no RUU for your device, do you not have a backup ? how did you brick ?

well as your s-on, you can forget about any RUU's at all for now.
I would recommend you flash twrp recovery, use 2.6.3.3 and then erase cache, then reboot bootloader (see commands below).
Code:
fastboot flash recovery (name of recovery).img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
after that go into twrp recovery and select wipe then format data, this will completely wipe your phone of everything, but as its already messed up then it doesn't really matter, does it.
once that is done, download a sense rom from the development section and try and push it to your internal sdcard, if successful then flash it.

adb push it straight to the sdcard, make sure your phone is plugged into the computer and the rom is in the same folder as adb and fastboot files, then issue this command:
Code:
adb push (name of rom).zip /sdcard/
it will look like its not doing anything but will let you know when its done, then uplug your phone before flashing the rom.
and both TWRP and CWM have their good points, you need CWM to flash AOSP rom's and TWRP to flash sense rom's

Strangely this is exactly the position I'm in today too.
I wanted to revert to stock after trying cyanogen, relocked the bootloaded and tried to run an RUU. However it stopped with an 'unknown error'. So I tried to push a zip file to it but the adb can't connect to the device and the phone isn't showing up in the device manager (because it's in boot mode?).
I then tried your advice about twrp and tried a different RUU but still get an unknown error and still can't push to the device.
Any ideas of what to try next? My OS is now showing as empty, there was something there previously.
I figured it was time to get some help before I broke things any more.

first thing to do is unlock your bootloader again, if you've not already done that, then get TWRP 2.6.3.3 recovery on there, that maybe a problem though as your phone isn't showing in device manager.
So put your phone into the bootloader and see what device manager says then, it should say something if its detecting your phone, even if drivers arnt installed.
also, which HBOOT are you on ? and which Windows OS are you using ?

I think I've unlocked the bootloader again, fastboot is available and it's showing 'unlocked' at the top. twrp is on there too and I've done the wipe again. The fastboot commands work but pushing doesn't
error: device not found
HBOOT is 1.55.0000 / win7 64 home
Btw Twrp said it couldn't find cache but the wipe was successful.
Thanks for the help.

ok I see what your saying now, what you need to do is boot into TWRP, main screen only, no sub menu's, at that point is your phone still detected in device manager ?
if so then............
put the rom you want to flash in the same folder as adb and fastboot files on your computer, then type:
Code:
adb push (name of rom).zip /sdcard/
you cant push files to your phone using fastboot or whilst its in the bootloader, that's strictly for flashing simple files like Radio's, HBOOTS, recoveries.

Well at least I've got something in the device manager even if it is a SAMSUNG Android Phone and not my HTC!
The push command hasn't brought up an error, the cursor is just flashing on the next line. It appears to be doing nothing like you said. So I guess I'm playing the waiting game for ten minutes or so. Will there be a notification when it's completed?

after some surfing on the forums i found out that i need S-OFF... and mine is S-ON but i cant seem to get if off,

you dont need s-off, however, if you want s-off it would be advised whilst your on a low HBOOT before you update, but thats a different story.
your re-locked, so do you know if it has a custom recovery on it, or a custom rom, or is it 100% stock, to be sure, unlock your bootloader, because if it is running anything custom, it wont boot with a re-locked bootloader, unlock here:
http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader
just follow the instructions and report back when done, it will give you some adb and fastboot files, keep those, you'll need them and will also teach you how to use them if you dont know. :good:

what you need to do is flash TWRP 2.8.5.0 from here: http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/m7/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-m7.img
Code:
fastboot flash recovery (name of recovery).img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
enter recovery and create a simple backup, just something like the boot, then plug your phone into the computer, whilst its still in recovery mode, that recovery supports MTP so your internal storage should open up on your computer, if it doesnt, you have a driver problem, but if it does, then navigate to TWRP/Backup/Phone serial number/todays date and some other details, delete the backup files out of there and place the files inside this zip in there instead, files only not folders: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23622183712459333
unplug your phone and restore that backup.
once restored, restart your phone and just do a basic setup.
then put this on your internal storage and again boot into recovery mode and flash it: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23622183712459512
once finished, do a full restart of the phone, your now nearly full stock, one last step, your need to flash the firmware which is here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95747613655045066 once downloaded just name it to firmware for ease and put it in the same folder as adb and fastboot on your computer, reboot your phone to the bootloader and lock the bootloader (required to flash firmware as you are s-on), issue these commands.
Code:
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot-bootloader[I] (should now say relocked at the top)[/I]
fastboot oem rebootRUU[I] (screen turn black with silver HTC logo)[/I]
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip [I](failed is normal the first time, it will say please flush again) soooooo[/I]
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
[I]as long as it says successful at the end this time your good to go, if not, report back here before the next command, if all is ok then:[/I]
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot reboot
when you restart your phone will be full stock and you should now be able to update, recommended as your firmware is quite old, however, I would recommend before updating that you try and get s-off, for this you will need to use rumrunner s-off tool, you can find it here plus the instructions: http://rumrunner.us/ (you might want to try this after: "once restored, restart your phone and just do a basic setup." before flashing the firmware and preload data part)

to clear those errors, in TWRP recovery select wipe - format data, this will wipe the entire phone, then reboot back into recovery.
The internal storage popping up on your computer only works when you are booted into recovery (main recovery screen only) and only with TWRP recovery 2.8.5.0 or 2.8.4.0.
