Hi guys,
what I have:
Optus (AU) HTC Incredible S - it was running 2.3.3 fine, no hacks/root or anything has been done to it. [I've done a vol down + power button hboot thingy and it says S-ON]
what happened:
I connected the phone to a WIFI network to update my apps, it started updating many apps. mid-way through the updates, the phone became unresponsive and apparently hung, left it alone for a few hours, it remained hung.
I disconnected the power and pulled the battery.
The phone has since refused to boot past the HTC splash logo.
What I've tried:
I've tried rooting the phone with Revolutionary - however I can't complete the steps as I am unable to boot the phone.
I've tried Hboot with the [PG32IMG.zip] file - nothing seemed to change
I've tried usb fastboot with adb and fastboot - Signature verification failed [well, it is S-ON]
I've tried recovery - failed, gave me 3 arrows, 2 in a circular pattern and one straight, followed by a phone icon and a red triangle and ! mark
I've tried running the RUU.exe file for 2.3.3 optus, but it does not get past 'rebooting to bootloader'
Current situation:
I've spent around 6 hours trying to figure out what went wrong and make it work ... but nothing seems to work ... so guys ... i really could use some help ...
btw, I can't warranty it as I purchased the phone in Australia, but now am in Singapore ... I'll be returning to Australia in January though ...
All help and suggestions will be greatly appreciated ...
Thanks!

You better wait till january and claim the warranty!
hey buddy
well , the easy way to solve your problem is to download the stock rom for your device , and install it using the offical HTC exe ( the rom exe ) .
it will do it all and get your device like brand new .
hope this solve it .
If the above doesn't work send it to any htc repair center. You have to pay but whatever.

Hey hassanhm,
thanks for the reply. I've tried searching the HTC official website for the stock rom, however it is not available for download due to the fact that firmware upgrades are now over the air ..
i've downloaded the RUU rom by optus (RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_Optus_AU_2.12.980.2_R_Radio _20.2803.30.085AU_3805.04.03.12_M_release_185028_s igned
http://www.filefactory.com/file/cfdd...028_signed.exe) found here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033922 - however it just gets stuck on the booting to bootloader step ...
if there a different stock rom exe file i should be using?
Thanks!
I'm a singaporean. Its uncommon to see this kinda stuff :/
looks like dead motherboard i saw thing like that already
I'm from Singapore. I had this issue, spent a day flashing and rebooting to try and fix it. Then I have up and just flashed an official ROM, I think any one will do, then sent it to HTC. It was still s-off but they didn't care. Took just 3 days and they sent it back, fixed and like brand new. I suggest you don't waste time and just sent to HTC. it will come back s-on but you can just root it again.
Hope this helps!
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA App
There's one but when they put latest Hboot (1.16.0000)then it's harder to flash ROM than 1.13.0000. Hope you get your phone back and it's working

Revolutionary only work on phone with NORMAL BOOTING (Android booting). If you did on fastboot then (I Think) you start create big trouble

This will only work for UPDATE, mean you must use higher version of ROM than in the phone (if you are s-on) -CMIIW-

can you post your mainver : FYI, I could NOT resolve my vivo since my situation is worse than you, but probably my experience with unsuccesfull result will give different output ... who knows.
on fastboot (I'm sure You know how to do) fastboot getvar all (windows command) and post the output for our analysing together and help each other.
btw, I can't warranty it as I purchased the phone in Australia, but now am in Singapore ... I'll be returning to Australia in January though ...

what did you do before stuck. Can you boot into bootloader (?) are you S-ON or S-OFF (?) what is Hboot version do you have. To have bootloader state : press power and volume down button SIMULTANEOUSLY if within TEN MINUTES you do not have bootloader status you should stop and let us know here
Thanks for the reply. Its S-On, Hboot 1.13, I was simply browsing using the phone when it restarted and stuck with the htc logo.

I'm wondering. You probably did not enable fastboot option > setting > power > UNTHICK fastboot item.
On your today phone state you can not do it. Do you remember ? you enable fastboot option or not. Presumed you enable fastboot option then you can go to bootloader by pressing power and volume down buttons simultaneously > once you come into bootloader there is an option FACTORY RESET. If you see RED TRIANGLE. No other choice (AFAIK) you need to download the RUU of your phone and just run RUU ... all your personal user data will be wiped.

Thanks again for the reply. when i choose the factory reset the phone hangs but when i select recovery it goes to the red triangle logo. Where and how can i know whats RUU of my phone? Sorry im literally a noob.
3 days ago, i was having the same problen but i could solve it
Here what you can do:
1. Eject your sd card and insert another android phone. You can create a gold card over another android phone (Making gold card is completely independent from android version or phone model. Trust me.). You can search the forum, there are a lot of guides for making a gold card.
2. Boot into fastboot, plug your usb cable. Open a windows console, and send that command:
Fastboot getvar mainver
It will tell you your mainver.
3. Go here: http://forum.xda-developers.co m/showthread.php?t=1359555 .
In there, you can find original rom list. Choose one which has higher mainver than yours then download it. The thread also explains how to install the original rom.

Just for additional info. If you can not find another android/windows phone to get sdcard CID (you have only one phone and now in trouble). You can use any laptop with Built In card reader at PCI slot and NOT USB STORAGE if you were not have BOTH ... it's time to ask help your neighbour or your friends

I have installed the latest htc sync version and updated all the drivers but it looks like my pc doesnt detect the incredible s.
Need suggestion guys.
Ill try the Gold card step later maybe it will work.
Thanks again.
Hello there !
I'm not sure to be in the right section for looking for help, redirect me if needed.
I was trying to flash my device with TWRP recovery to get Mokee on my phone. I had a lot of trouble but finally everything was ok and I just had to press "flash". But after that, the process remained stuck at the "Patching system image unconditionally..." step. I did serval whipe, backup and install, with serval ROM (CyanogenMod and ResurrectionRemix as well) but I couldn't go farther. But once, I lost my backup and I had no ROM installed, and no way to install a custom one.
At this point, the phone can't boot, can't access flashboot mod or recovery mod. The display remain black and there is nothing I can do, like if it was dead. It is just detected by QFIL and MiFlash (port COM3).
The only thing I could do is try to install the ROM stock with QFIL. But QFIL won't work, it is stuck at "13: H\abc\prog_ufs_firehose_8996_ddr.elf" step for some times, then returns "Download fail:SaharaFail:QSaharaServer Failrocess Fail". So I was looking for an other way and I heard of a flash method through Miflash (as a new member, I can't post any link here). I followed the guide, step by step, but wether the flash ends correctly with no error and the phone still doesn't boot, or it says "Reached the end of the file.(0x80070026: Receiving hello packet)". In both case, it doesn't work.
So this is where I am now, an empty phone, with no ROM, just detected by the computer to flash. But some one told me a Qualcomm SOC can't be totally bricked, so I still have hope.
Could you please help me ? I've been working on it for so long, trying all sort of stuff, downloading every single driver from all over the web. I can't do any better.
Ask me some questions, ask for screenshots, I'm at your service !
I also tried this guide : w w w . droidviews .c o m /how-to-bo...astboot-download-bootloader-or-recovery-mode
But each adb reboot command returns "error : no device/emulator found"
Yet, it seems to be the very last thing I could do and it should work, do you think the issue is about drivers ? Or is that possible that even adb reboot commands fail ?
This is what I have in my devices manager : h t t p : / / hpics . li/da67572
I found out that when I press volume- and power for a long time, it activates the bootmod (which means I can flash with QFIL). But if I hold it two more seconds, the bootmod is desactivated, and that's why I was stuck until now.
I have now the ZUI ROM STOCK.
But still trying to get Mokee ^^
I recently recovered my nokia lumia 1320 RM-994 from death, thanks to some .hex and .mbn files posted in a thread on this forum. But now I'm in another very big problem and I need help.
It turns out that a red screen appeared with white letters saying: NOKIA. The problem is that the phone restarts every two minutes or so constantly and so on. I can't find a solution to this problem, please help!
Could you send a picture of said screen?
That's the problem, the one in the video.
Update: The other problem is that when I flash the phone, it gets to 30% or 25% and finishes and doesn't go any further, I use thor2, plus I've also tried wpinternals and windows phone recovery tools.
Thanks for replying.

What software are you flashing and have you tried dirty flashing the phone?
You need to try only with wpInternals 1.2 . You can enter into emergency download mode by following key combination specified at 'restore bootloader section', try for restoring bootloder first.
You need original FFu image and emergency files.
All key combinations to be tried while you have connected your device to the pc's usb port.
Or just follow this tutorial

I have tried to flash the phone with wpinternals 1.2 and it has now reached 45%, I will keep trying until I reach 100% and complete the flashing
At this point the phone stopped rebooting, so I was able to try to flash it.
Thank you.
Now it's up to 52%, and it stops, but I'm already in the middle of the process, I hope to finish these days and we'll see what happens in the end.
