You should take hope from the fact that you are able to still enter bootloader and perform full reset

Also the fact that you are still s-on means that you should still be covered under warranty

I believe that you should be able to re flash your original rom via your pc using RUU, check to see if your original is in the rom sticky thread within the dev section and if so start downloading
[HTC Desire S] InfernalByte:
You may well have a hardware problem, in which case I would advise you send it for repair rather than trying to root and invalidating your warranty.
[HTC Desire S] Numline1:
Hey, thx for reply.

I have no experiences in this but I guess I only need to know this things:

RUU - Stands for ROM Upgrade Utility. What soft should I use?

Also, all I can see in bootloader is following:

SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-0.98.0000

RADIO-38.03.02.11_M

eMMC-boot

Mar 10 2011,14:58:38 (<wtf?)

and then just classic boot menu with options like FASTBOOT etc.

Therefore I cant figure out, which ROM is mine in that thread. Also, is there any option to flash ROM from memory card? Does it have to be signed?

Only limitation is warranty which I dont wanna lose. Thx.

See the statement above, I will not do anything to invalidate the warranty.
[HTC Desire S] tkur:
Yesterday, after attempting the "Update all" for the first time (well, not exactly) the phone froze just as yours did & started encountering the same issues. After coming here to seek assistance, this thread was the first I laid eyes upon.

My case in somewhat more detail, after freezing during the "Update all", I performed a soft reset by removing the battery as well, booted up fine, but as soon as everything was loaded the market tried to continue where it left off (which is updating Opera Mobile @ 98%) and the result was another freeze. I was quickly able to deduct that the update were to be the issue & turned off connectivity. Now, at the present state, Opera Mobile update is still under notifications (at 98% complete but "paused"), as soon as I re-enable either WiFi or 3G it continues & crashes. I cleared all caches & reset all Market applications & rebooted to no avail.

Hard reset was next on my list, but see-ing how the situation got worse for your device hereafter, I am holding it off for now. Is it possible to have market updates, that are ongoing, canceled? Bear in mind that I cant enter Market since it requires connectivity.

Weird stuff.
[HTC Desire S] Numline1:
Yes, when your phone is turned on (connection on), open your Market app, press menu button and select "My apps". You should see all downloading apps now. Hold your finger on each and wait until menu pops up. Select cancel download. You have to be quick tho.

If I were you, I would not do any software reset, my phone is pretty much bricked now, as it freezes on nearly every bootloader option.
[HTC Desire S] tkur:
Thanks! That did the trick, was able to remove everything due to be updated.

Strangely, though, I wasn't able to finish loading the market before it resumed the Opera update. This time, however, instead of crashing it was able to complete it (contrary to the last 10+ attempts yesterday), thus there is a chance it wouldn't have crashed at all. In any case, keeping distance from the Market seems like a valid idea for now.

Reading your thread might've helped to avoid my device turning into a brick, I appreciate it.
[HTC Desire S] Numline1:
Well, update to my current status:

Im still in hboot. Device was recognized as "Android 1.0" in my Windows, so I had to install ADB driver. It is now connected as Android Composite ADB Interface".

I can't get any further, since RUU says my phone is not connected to PC.

Any advices please?
[HTC Desire S] Numline1:
PS: When I choose "Recovery" in hboot, it shows HTC logo for a while, then icon of mobile phone with green sign shows and after few secs, screen turns off and phone vibrate for a few times and disconnects from PC.

//When I connect it in Fastboot, it shows as "MyHTC" in Windows.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Afraid, that I'm well out of my depth with all that, hopefully someone else with more knowledge will post...or else it's warranty return. best of luck
[HTC Desire S] Numline1:
Np, thx for trying, maybe someone else will know :)

//Update: In Fastboot mode, my device is recognized by RUU!!! Trying to update right now!!!
[HTC Desire S] InfernalByte:
As you've never been rooted or S-off, and the phone has developed its own fault. I'd return it!
[HTC Desire S] Numline1:
Well, so far, no luck. RUU stuck at "Rebooting to bootloader" and phone is frozen. :(

Im willing to do that first thing tommorow, but Im trying to fix it today, as it is sunday and I have day off.
[HTC Desire S] InfernalByte:
Good luck

(....10 Chars...)
[HTC Desire S] Numline1:
Ok, update about my phone so far:

RUU was not sucessful, for some reason there's still freeze in certain HBOOT actions, like when I select "Factory reset" or when RUU is trying to get phone from fastboot to bootloader.

So I extracted rom.zip from my RUU and now I'm backing up my memory card using my old phone. I'm willing to rename it to update.zip and try to flash it.

Any advices about this?
[HTC Desire S] InfernalByte:
Update.zip will not work, if your determined to try something push a new SPL via fastboot commander, even thought your not S-off if things aren't working maybe the CID check wont check either.

Below will only work if your phone is not branded or you have a goldcard.

Alternatively unzip your RUU on your PC in one of the files called {squigly brackets and a lot of numbers673652435364849483763} you'll find a .zip called rom.zip rename this PB99IMG and put the file into the root directory of your SD card, and boot into Hboot. Just answer yes to any questions. This is the way HTC Tech folk themselves serve an RUU.
[HTC Desire S] Numline1:
Yea, I actually extracted it using advanced system monitor from microsoft, this file was in temp folder. That's where my rom.zip was. Anyway, isn't it PB88IMG.zip? I think DS is checking for this one. Thx.

//Edit: I mean PB88IMG.img

//Edit2: It's PG88IMG.zip :) It's now updating, don't know if it works yet, still at BOOTLOADER update with status "Updating".
[HTC Desire S] Numline1:
Ok, I think this is my last post, since I no longer know what else to do. When Im trying to flash PG88IMG, it stops at [1]BOOTLOADER - Updating.

For more than one hour. There's something wrong with it and I will claim my warranty, which will be funny, since Im in Slovakia, phone was bought from Amazon with 3 year warranty from SquareTrade and they claim, they may just return money in some cases, which will result in buying a new phone = more than 2 weeks...
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
O, bugger! :mad:

question is if they do give you the money, will you buy another DS? and if not what would you consider instead? Sensation?
[HTC Desire S] Numline1:
Yea, can't say yet, since I don't know. I just discovered, there may be a chance they will cover my repair costs when I email them all the service documentation from service center.

But if they do, I'd like to stay with HTC, I paid something about 377L for the phone, so I may buy something better now.

Anyway, thanks a lot for help guys, if you come with some new ideas about how to fix it, do not hesitate to tell me :) I'll be sending it to them first thing tommorow.
[HTC Desire S] f0xy:
Send it back to HTC direct
[HTC Desire S] Numline1:
It was not bought from HTC and has no warranty documents, except from Amazon buying list, do you think they will accept it?
[HTC Desire S] f0xy:
Yes for sure. If you have the amazon receipt as proof of purchase. You will be fine.
[HTC Desire S] InfernalByte:
Talk to Amazon too, they can help.

You remind me of Allan Alda.
[HTC Desire S] bbryte:
I had the exact same problem as you! Also on a desire S.

Like you it started with the market. It suddenly froze while updating several apps at one time (screen turned black). After a hard reset I did numerous things to get rid of the white screen HTC logo loop. The notification sound is very annoying when it repeats itself every minute..

It could be your SD-card is broken, causing a loop with com.htc.launcher, even after a hard reset without a SD card inside.

Remove your memory card en do a factory reset without it, maybe 2 or more if you still get a buggy reboot and a loop.

Then change your memory card to a fresh one and start all over again.

I also thought my Desire S had hardware issues, like overheating or something.

But some hard resets and a fresh card did the trick. I think that SD-stressing can cause problems on some cards.

Hope this helps.
[HTC Desire S] Numline1:
Hey, thanks, I hope so. But to be exact, I bought it from user @ Amazon, Roman44 as far as I remember. I'm not sure, if items get to Amazon, before they're dispatched or if Amazon take any responsibilities. I'll write them. I already contacted seller from which my phone is.

Yep, I will. <3 M*A*S*H :))

Already tried that of course. I guess my bootloader is broken, since nor factory reset, nor RUU, nor anything else works and it always stuck in or updating bootloader or switching to bootloader. I can't rewrite bootloader without using bootloader afaik. I think XTC Clip does something like that, but it's chip and S-OFF would be huge mistake in case like this.

So since I have several possibilities where to send it to service center, I'll wait for Amazon, seller and SquareTrade responses and send it somewhere to have it repaired asap.
[HTC Desire S] Numline1:
Once again, sorry for double post. Im on Live chat with HTC support right now, it seems, they're able to take care of my phone in their service center and send UPS to get it :)

HTC support is great.
[HTC Desire S] lennshow66:
Not for me it wasnt they had my phone for 36days.
[HTC Desire S] Numline1:
Well, I trust HTC little bit more then to some 3rd party company handling warranties. Im really surprised they are ok with me not sending them any proof of purchase and they stated they should repair it in 7 to 10 days. I hope it'll be ok.
[HTC Desire S] InfernalByte:
Glad your getting it sorted. :)
[HTC Desire S] Numline1:
Well, status update :)

HTC booked UPS this monday. This tuesday, my phone was already on it's way to HTC. Today, it may be there. Do you ask why I said "may be"? Because UPS site says "Returned to shipper". After one hour spent @ HTC Live Chat with HTC agent, while Miss agent tried to convince me, package was not marked correctly and me trying to convice her I was not supposed to mark it, I googled that "Returned to shipper" may mean, that HTC is the "shipper" and they just recieved it, even though package's current location is "at store". She agreed. So I had fun, I don't know exactly where my phone is, since they do not answer at UPS #...

It is ridiculous, how HTC even can't contact their own service center and ask, if they have my phone...
[HTC Desire S] al89nut:
Got to say this is worrying. My Desire was replaced with an DS by HTC after three breakdowns (motherboard and bootloader) and with a four week wait the last time. Rather concerned there's a weakness here and have disabled all market auto updates.
[HTC Desire S] Numline1:
Well, only about three of us had this problem. You should be okay when you update one by one, even though it froze my phone either, but it was after first and second "update all" freeze.

How long did it take for first and second time with Desire?

By the way, "returned to shipper" is returned to HTC, it is confusing, but at least they have it, they changed status on their site from "delivering the device to us" to "testing the device".
[HTC Desire S] j1mmy:
I had similar problems with my Desire S, and they were related to heavy internet connection usage on wi-fi or mobile connection; and after a few hard resets it recovered

Just one freeze since then and several restarts. Don't know what the problem was, or still is... but for now it seems ok.
[HTC Desire S] al89nut:
Just had a freeze and re-start (of own accord) this evening while recording video. Tell HTC came up after it recovered. Worrying that these phones still keep crashing
[HTC Desire S] Numline1:
I have two good news :). According to new topics in these forums, problem is faulty eMMC chip. So we know why device don't want to boot up after battery removal.

Also, HTC changed status on their service tracking site from "Delivering phone to our service center" to "Testing your phone" last Saturday. Today, they've changed it to "Repairing your phone", I hope they won't repair it for next month :).
[HTC Desire S] fossdal:
Excact same problem

I have excact same problem as you have described

exept that i got it to run for about 3 days after factory reset, and then this morning it woke me up with repeat booting, i pulled the battery and now it is totaly stuck, can get into bootloader but nothing works
[HTC Desire S] Numline1:
Hey, sorry to hear that. Mine just got back from HTC two days ago. It has different IMEI and I can see it's not my original phone, but I don't really mind, I doesn't have squeaky cover (which means the whole squeaking thing is related to phone body, not cover, because they sent original back from my previous DS with it). Also, it appears to have WiFi issue more intensive, but I can't check untill I'm back home. Software is stock, I'm going back home next week, so I hope it won't freeze again.

So my advice, send it to HTC, if it's still under warranty.

Good luck.
[HTC Desire S] verifunny:
I have a problem with the phone which suddenly became blank screen. My phone is stock and s-on. My son was just listening to music when it happened. I had to pull out my batt but the phone didn't boot up properly. My solution is to do a factory reset at hboot. Now I have changed my rom to virtuous unity.

Hope that everything is fine now.

[HTC Desire S] thunder9111:
question: if they change the motherboard for me, would that mean I would get back a DS that has hboot 0.98.0000? or would it still have 0.98.0002
[HTC Desire S] Numline1:
I had 0000. New one is still on 0000.
[HTC Desire S] thunder9111:
well I have upgraded to 98.0002 already, but now the phone is broke, so I will be sending it in. I saw other people with the same problem had their motherboard replaced, so i was wondering if i would be getting a 98.0000 back.

if so, that'll be great! i'll finally be able to s-off.
[HTC Desire S] Adidas108:
depends which hboot image version rom will have..if u flash European room u will get 0000 then u can get s-off

Motherboard... This is exactly the same problem that had my Desire repaired three times and then replaced with a Desire S...
[HTC Desire S] danny-k:
I have the exact problem with a Desire S

The problem is that I S-OFF'ed with Revolutionary, and so my warranty is void.

Any idea in how could I put back the original boot so I can send it HTC for repair?
[HTC Desire S] Green Hawk:
I've just register to say,

DO NOT REMOVE THE BATTERY AFTER A FREEZE

by any means!!!

I did that, he freezes in the HTC logo screen, and it was 2 months in repair! It was a motherboard problem!

I had this problem with after a market update in last September and only today it arrive from the repair! So annoying!!
[HTC Desire S] somerandomhash:
Just send it back, you'll be able to get a repair

Sent from my HTC Desire
[HTC Desire S] Mace490:
Dude!!!

I would suggest you to send youre phone directly to HTC to fix the issue as long you are in the warranty.

So youre phone is not rooted and you have no recovery installed.

I think without any recovery installed it will be hard to fix the problem on youre own because i think you have some problems with the emmc chip.

I had the same problem with the bootloop and i was able to fix it on my own but only with clockworkmod recovery.

So as long as you have the possibility to send it wack under warranty: DO IT!! :)

I am not an expert on this but this is my opinion.

GOOD LUCK!!!

I'm transferring music from my computer to the Galaxy S2 via Kies/Wifi but the album art for all the songs except two are the same. There seems to be no way to change the album art on the S2. In Kies I can see the tiny thumbnail when playing the song is the correct one.

Bug ?
[Galaxy S II General] blickmanic:
I have this issue too, when your looking at the music in list format, the artwork is all differant, but when you play a file the bigscreen artwork is the same
[Galaxy S II General] lynxboy:
2 Solutions although not a direct fix for your issue.

Firstly, download one of the Album Art Grabber apps from the market and update your album art. There are paid apps and free ones, all offer similar functionality. Auto Scan and change individual albums.

Secondly, buy PowerAmp. There's not much to say other than it provides the best Android music experience hands down. Aswell as offering a multitude of eq settings and options, it allows you to change individual album art on the fly.

Good luck.

Regards.
[Galaxy S II General] __NBH__:
I managed to fix this so see if it works. With mp3tag you need to make the album title unique for each mp3 you want to have a unique picture. I had lots of single tunes and the album tag was blank. Because of this they all took on the same album art. If you make the album the filename which can be done as a batch process they all display ok.

My only problem is getting albums to play in track order, the SII always puts things in alphabetical order, very annoying for mix cds.
[Galaxy S II General] SingaporeAirlines:
Thank you both.

I went for the MP3Tag option as that's what I've been using and it's worked fine !

I went through this recently. If the model is a 9023 variant then I believe it's Super LCD. If it's a 9020 variant then it's probably Super AMOLED. But be sure to explicitly ask the seller before you buy. I bought one on eBay which was decsribed as SAMOLED and when it arrived it wasn't and there was a big argument about taking it back, even though he'd wrongly advertised it.

The red triangle is stock recovery for whatever reason rom manager has failed to flash clockwork recovery, reboot into bootloader and manually flash the recovery from there as per usage here

Doh! would help if i read everything, you cannot flash recovery without S-OFF, therefore you need to root first and then flash H-boot then recovery and custom rom

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3x1at1on:
Having root on your DHD is not enough to flash custom recovery. You need to do S-Off before you can install Clockworkmod recovery from Rom Manager.

This is a very nice guide from Jkoljo about S-Off http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=857537

However, this won't be enough if you want to Flash a Radio (aka Baseband) which I think you will want to consider once you start flashing custom roms. This process is called Eng-Off which is more risky than S-Off. You can find a link in the above mentioned guide for more reading if you like.
