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

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

Good day,
Thanks for the replies. Im having problem with this step. Im doing the unlocking the bootloader of the phone but when im in the process of inputting the cmd command "fastboot oem get_identifier_token" it gets me the " <waiting for device>
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.
"I checked everywhere and I can't fine it. How to remove this horrible CWM ? Anything . I need anything! I tried to install 4EXT when CWM was still on and phone now seems to be bricked. It doesn't want to boot into the system or recovery. It just hangs on HTC white boot logo. Please help."
This should have been posted in the General section, not the Development section.
If you can boot the phone into HBOOT, then you can flash a new recovery image in FASTBOOT USB mode.
If you have more questions post in the GENERAL section after you have searched.
- Problem is, that when I try to flash anything it's loading it (I can see green uploading animation in HTC) but it isn't writing it (I can see quick red uploading animation) and nothing happens afterwards...
Could you recommend particular recovery image please ? I'm very tight on time.
hey ive had this happen to me before when i first started. the way i solved my problem was boot into fastboot and run the ruu it will restore everything to stock then run revolutionary to get s-off and flash cwm. then download 4ext recovery and in the app u can flash it straight over the top of cwm
heres the link to find your ruu

This will not work. This is how the OP just into the situation he is in. The RUU will not successfully install because he has the Revolutionary S-OFF HBOOT on his phone and the RUU is not able to overwrite with the HBOOT from the RUU.

I tried your RUU yesterday late night but it won't work. Only way I know to do it is to rename it to PG32IMG.zip and have it autoloaded by unlit. But it let's loaded (green loading animation) and than red loading animation which finishes but dissent make any changes I will try to find stock Rom (stock recovery?) With exe and try to flash it from console via windows. I would be happy if you could advise which file to flash as I travel and can access only wiz gprs on other phone which cost me dear and I can't really see anything I wouldn't mind to also format everything including memory where cwm or 4ext sits if its possible. I'm sorry to ask for that but will appreciate links if someone done it before due to those restrictions of searching through roaming oon company phone. Thanks guys.

I am trying everything and nothing wants to work. When I connect this incredible s by USB and i go to fastboot it changes to fastboot usb. so it sees the phone. but windows system doesnt see it. when i run from console "adb" and "adb devices" it says nothing is nonnected. when I got RUU with .exe extension it tells me there is connection error 260 and I can't go beyond.
Does anyone have any ideas please ?

Have you installed the HTC drivers on your PC? If you have installed HTC Sync to get the HTC drivers installed, make sure that HTC Sync is not running in the background or System Tray.

I had it enabled as well as fastboot disabled but now i don't even have a system. all i can do is to power into hboot. i cant get into recovery (that's where cwm and 4ext was sitting and it hangs everytime i try to access) nothing else. i had separate drivers for htc but i have installed and updated htc sync. will kill it everytime tries to run. i still cant get over this connection problem. RUU advised above have broken or payable links. the one i tried to install is from here: http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...igned_Raphael_52.58.25.30_1.11.25.01_Ship.exe
could someone be so kind and actually send me a link to the file that i need to insstall to finally got it moving?
i am at the moment so confused by searching thought topics i completely lost my point. please - be so kind and direct me to some downloadable link and to whatever i need to flash...
on another note - can I wipe everything somehow and than install from scratch ? (by everything i mean also the place where CWM is istting)

If that is the RUU you tried to install, no wonder you are having issues. That RUU is not for the IncS, so it is a wonder you can still even get into HBOOT.
Try this one:
http://www.filefactory.com/file/c0a...5AU_3805.06.03.03_M_release_199308_signed.exe
The problem seems to be coming from inability to connect/recognise my device in first place. I will try this suggested Rom today and let you know in few hours.
Logically thinking - what could go wrong with this phone ? I had CWM which I wanted to remove. I couldn't so I tried to install 4ext to overwrite it when I lost hope. this didn't work. Than I tried some "stock Rom" which came out to be dodgy and I'm in situation now. It's S-ON phone and all I can do is to get to hboot. But I am still cautious about this connercition error 260. I hope its because of wrong file I tried to use previously... But.... I will troy files suggested here. If that won't work - what will be next step ? Could I let's say try to download gingerbread and install it from .exe ? Would that fix it ?

How did you try to open it?
Copy it to your SD card and rename it PG32IMG.zip and the reboot into HBOOT and it should ask you to Update.

I tried to open zip to see what's inside. It didn't want to open zip file. I tried few times before to rename it to P32IMG and upload like that. My hboot detects it, loads it but nothing happens afterwards. I will try like that if the file is not corrupted. Did anyone checked it personally ? (this particular file)
hey everyone !!
firstly, apologies if this should be somewhere else or if ive repeated someone else's problem.
hope you can help. ive got an HTC One and im trying to root it because i want to install a custom rom. ive tried lots and lots of ways including rom manager, superuser, fastboot, superboot. TWRP, CWM and your all in one toolkit but everything fails.. i was wondering if i have a problem with the internal storage. i tried to transfer a jpeg to the phone using HTC sync manager. i left it to transfer and went to work. 8 hours later the progress bar hadnt moved. i tried to transfer a boot image and it keeps timing out. rom manager comes back with errors when i do anything. for example if i try to go into fix permissions i get "an error occured while attempting to run privileged commands" im beginning to think that rooting this mobile is an impossibility. please help !!!

You won't have S-Off unless you have it unlocked from the get go, ie a developers phone.
All you need to do is follow everything from this thread and youre good to go.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2182792&highlight=how+to+root
The whole process should take about half an hour max as if you haven't made an account with HTC dev unlock then you will have to, they will send you a key once you send them the read out from your phone.
It's a really easy procedure to be honest.

hey dude
as i said the bootloader is already unlocked so i dont have to do all that again. the method u suggest is one of the many i already tried and it didnt work. its info is all wrong. it keeps referring to the SD card. The HTC one doesnt come with an SD card ??? it has internal storage.

Don't forget to erase cache after you flashed your recovery, this can cause many problems.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
If you don't erase cache, this could be your problem.
Possible solution :
Did you try this method? Don't use any All-in-One tool to do this, do take the time to do this manually via an SDK/ADB command window (see my signature if it is not installed on your computer)
Download the boot.img HERE made by Paul O'Brien and the CWM recovery by Flyhalf205 HERE place both files in your platform-tools of your SDK folder.
Reboot into Bootloader mode
Plug your USB cable and make certain that FASTBOOT USB is highligted
At the prompt type>fastboot flash boot boot.img
Success message
Again at the prompt type>fastboot erase cache
Success message
At the prompt type>fastboot reboot-bootloader
Your phone will reboot in Bootloader mode
At the prompt type>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Success message
Againt at the prompt type>fastboot erase cache
Success message
At the prompt type>fastboot reboot
Once rebooted check if you have the Superuser application in the app Drawer
Did you manage to get recovery installed ok?

TWRP, CWM and your all in one toolkit but everything fails.. i was wondering if i have a problem with the internal storage. i tried to transfer a jpeg to the phone using HTC sync manager. i left it to transfer and went to work. 8 hours later the progress bar hadnt moved. i tried to transfer a boot image and it keeps timing out. rom manager comes back with errors when i do anything. for example if i try to go into fix permissions i get "an error occured while attempting to run privileged commands" im beginning to think that rooting this mobile is an impossibility. please help !!!

Hi i just got my new HTC One, unlocked Bootloader via HTC Homepage, tried AIO Kit, did everything step by step, my CMD doesn't show errors, when i transfer Clockwork or Clockwork Touch or TWRP on the Phone, but my Problem is, after one of the Recovery,s is transferred, and i reboot nothing happens !!! I already tried "fastboot erase cache" no Change nothing is happening, fast boot is off. Would post few screens but i cant because i don't have enough posts. I also don't get the "Tempered" just *Unlocked* . I don't know what to do anymore, i also tried everything manual without the KIT but again, no difference i cant get Recovery on the Phone ! Please Help !
EDIT : Now i did it a few times again now it works i dont know why very strange..
Hi,
Today my htc one got stuck in a boot loop. now it just freezes on the white startup screen. So i figured I try to factory reset. But when I enter Hboot and select factory reset the phone just freezes up.
I then tried recovery and fastboot options but the same thing happens: the phone just freezes up.
I have not rooted my phone. It is stock ROM and the bootloader is still locked. I also dont know if usb debugging is on, I dont thiks it is.
Also my computer does not recognize my phone. I installed HTC sync for the drivers (I have windows 8 if that matters)
I also installed "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" in order to try to unluck the bootloader but since I cant access fastboot and because my computer doesn't recognize the phone I am not able to do this.
Please help me... I really don't want to buy another phone just yet.
What is my next step?
I'm here ask help exactly for the same problem.
But differently mine can be detected by the computer. The problem caused by flashed a RUU not completely. The bootloader is relocked by myself. Others is just the same as your discription.
Is there anyone could help us?

Think your only choice is to reflash ruu again. However best that you post output of "fastboot getvar all" so that others can help. Need to be sure of firmware and os versions to get the right ruu.

You need to get the computer connecting to do anything. Suggest you uninstall htcsync but leave the drivers installed. Try a different usb port and cable.
Need to be able to post outbut of "fastboot getvar all" to get help.

My HTC One M7 is Hongkong CHT edition.
This is the PIC took before flashed RUU.

I've tried the "Unbrick project BETA" from the forum and flashed bcb recovery to my device, but neither worked.
Finally I decided to flash an official RUU to my M7.
First I relocked it. Then I flashed the RUU "PN07IMG_M7_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_hTC_Asia_HK_7.18.708.2_Radio_4T.35.3218.29_10.33R.1718.01L_release_420559_signed.zip" from the RUU collection thread.
But in the process of flashing RUU I suddenly kicked off the power of my desktop PC !!!
Now it has became like this.:crying:
h ttp :fs1.d-h.st/view/vQn3/00197/2.png
It is totally bricked! It will only boot into fastboot and cannot do any further action except "power down". Other will just make the phone hang. Fastboot mode can be detect by computer. The htc_fastboot command "oem rebootRUU" "reboot" "reboot-bootloader" and "getvar all" will also make the phone hang. Now I can't even make the phone get into RUU mode! However I can boot into hboot with volume- and power button.
