I'll be damned !! You a lucky wanker, you know that ? xD

However, I still have some doubts.. I see you ran the regular mke2fs command withotu any arguments other than -j.

Could you try and run it again, this time with the -cc argument (to run badblocks in R/W mode on every block of the filesystem), and post the results ?

Oh, and try and run it on /system, /data, /cache, and /devlog (partitions 25 to 28 if I'm not mistaken. do it with the phone in CWM recovery mode if posible, to have a total, unhindered and unmounted access to the filesystems), to crosscheck if all the FS is clear..

Of course you'll have to reflash the RUU again after this, bummer I know (tell yourself it's for the good of the community).. xD

---------- Post added at 12:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:21 AM ----------

One last thing, and this time for every affected owners : can you try and run some benchmarks on the filesystem and post back the results ?

(I used RL Benchmark SQLite performance, and Androbench storage benchmark -which is nice bcoz it can upload your results and compare them to similar devices from other users. they're both available for free on the market). Users with unfried devices are welcome to chip in too, for comparison purposes. :)

I don't have the logs at hand, will have to run the tests again and post back as soon as I get a chance, but in a nutshell it showed that :

read performance seems to be about on-par with similar devices as the DS, but filesystem (especially SQLite DB) writes performance is lagging waaaaaay behind some devices which are supposed to be slower than a DS..

Contiguous writes are only a bit behind (like 20-30% of a normal DS), but random writes are catastrophically low (I'll let you all experiment by your lonesome until I wake up tomorrow and find time to upload the results, wouldn't wanna give any of you some bad dreams.. ^^)

---------- Post added at 12:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:35 AM ----------

The HTC DS is factory-fitted with a 2GB eMMC chip, so I'm guessing it should be the regular iNAND, 2GB capacity.

The other ones are starting at 4 or 16GB, not sure the motherboard of the DS could address that much memory -though it'd be interesting to know, if you feel like taking the chance by all means please do.. :)
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Hey man you are great!!!

I was on the way to call the ambulance because I was afraid of a hard attack!!!

Now the phone is up and running again!
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
I believe that I read in a thread somewhere that someone who had their eMMC chip replaced had it swapped out for a new 4Gb chip, although they hadn't managed to make use of the additionally memory but were in the process of trying.....so 4Gb should be ok.

16Gb of internal would be brilliant but, as you say may be also be pointless waste of money if the device can't address it!

Hi!

I saw this after a "wipe data/factory reset":

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

or after "wipe cache partition" before flashing a new ROM, with CWM 5.0.2.0.

Anyway it says Data wipe complete and Cache wipe complete.

What's going on?

:(
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Try Nandroid restore is you backed up.

Or see here
[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
Thanks but I don't understand clearly what to do.

I also have a problem that (as far as I understand is related to this one) involve also the Market. I'm not able to install any application since it says there is no free space on the device, when it isn't true.

Please help.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Your partition table is messed up and cannot mount the /cache

So you need to restore it.

For this you can make one of the following:

1) restore the Nandroid backup if you have done it

or

2) restore the cache partition. Connect to PC and in adb shell type:

mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p27
reboot recovery

or

3) flash the relevant RUU and start over
[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
THANK YOU SO MUCH. It worked, and the market has been unblocked.
[HTC Desire S] rakmok:

[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:

reboot recovery

and check if all is correct now

if not repeat the command
[HTC Desire S] rakmok:
adb shell is only recognised while I am in CWM. after reboot recovery nothing happens it just stay there for a long time.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
ok then reboot to recovery from your CWM menu
[HTC Desire S] rakmok:
it takes almost 60-90 min to get the CWM menu. Please could you please upload the RUU, boot.img and recovery.img which you used. I don't have nandroid backup:(
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
I used the latest for RUU for Europe, you can find in the Index thread. Follow the procedure by dave303 - look for it in the eMMC guide in my signature. You do not need the hboot and recovery images for that.

Finally there is always a chance that you actually have a fried chip.
[HTC Desire S] rakmok:
Thank you!

I got stuck at this screen for more than 30Min. Any idea?

how much time did it took for you?
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
which version of hboot do you have?
[HTC Desire S] rakmok:
Hboot-6.98.1002
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:

[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Sorry to hear that. This was suspected since all the procedures took much more time for you than usual. At least you have tried. I hope that the replacement will be under your warranty. Good luck.
[HTC Desire S] rakmok:
Thanks for your help! I appreciate it.

do you have any idea about replacing HBOOT using XTC clip?
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Your question doesn't make any sense I'm afraid.

XTC clip will remove the security on your phone (making it S-OFF) see the link just provided for more details).

This isn't related to directly to HBOOT.

Please attempt to explain exactly what you're trying to do or ask again?
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
@rakmok

Hey man I think that the 6.98.0002 cannot be overwritten by the old ENG bootloader (0.98.2000). Try the same guide that I have posted with the 2.00.2002 hboot and then the RUU.
[HTC Desire S] rakmok:
My phone was S-OFF using Revolutionary.

I pulled battery coz it got stuck at HTC logo while updating few apps in market.

Try to boot to recovery and wipe/format all partitions.

After that try to flash th ebg hboot 0.98.2000 and if sucessfull run the RUU. Hope this to work...
[HTC Desire S] rakmok:
it's not working :(
[HTC Desire S] craigcharlie:
Cliff notes: I think the Hboot “Factory Reset” option cured my problem.

Details:

I had lots of “status 1″ errors and phone wouldn’t go past the white HTC logo. I was about to start looking for RUUs when I did this:

I turned off the phone again (using the trick of volumeup/volumedown/power buttons together) and quickly removed the battery again.

I rebooted into Hboot (volumedown/power together). From there, just for the heck of it, I selected the “Factory Reset” option. (I’m on the Hboot installed by the Revolutionary tool http://revolutionary.io/, don’t know if ALL Hboots have this option). I didn’t know if this would be different than the recovery tool wipe, but I thought I’d try.

After I selected this the phone rebooted and went to recovery. When I tried to reinstall the CM 7.1 ROM zip, which failed previously with status 1, it worked.

Phone seems fine now. Hope this helps someone.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Thanks. Added to my [GUIDE] Read this before going for eMMC replacement.

[HTC Desire S] somerandomhash:
It seems it's all a little hit & miss, under the SOGA a 'good' should be fit for purpose, as the emmc chip is a manufacturer issue (it left the factory in this stage) it can be argued that they are in breach.

Like a lit of this type of situation it rather depends on how willing you are to challenge it.

Some people are reporting no issues with repairs whereas others are being advised that a root/s-off breaks the warranty.

The issue (no lawyer) is the warranty is in ADDITION to your statutory rights under the act.

My suggestion would be to try, if you don't succeed then pursue a claim in writing under the act.

[HTC Desire S] somerandomhash:
If you are s-on your warranty id still good, remember that the warranty is often in ADDITION to statutory rights (most countries have some types of protection)

[HTC Desire S] rikardo.h:
Hi,

I'm new here, this is my first post, and sadly it's to tell you guys that my phone is bricked. I've the same symptoms described in this post: it freezes on the htc screen, it shows the "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log" message in CWM, dmesg shows similar messages to those posted here, the phone freezes when I try to flash the eng hboot be it from hboot or as indicated here (I have Revolutionary hboot, so S-OFF), RUU doesn't work, the phone freezes when I press on factory reset in hboot, and I have the M4G2DE chip. Also, some options in CWM are not accesible (it comes back to previous screen when you select them).

So, my first question is: do you know any other way to restore my phone to S-ON and stock? (besides those I mentioned above) This is to avoid the chance of htc voiding my warranty.

@somerandomhash: I've been living in the UK for a month, so I'd like to ask you, how do I pursue such a claim?

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] somerandomhash:
You would be writing a letter notifying the claim and then pursuing it, it depends on a few factors.
[HTC Desire S] rikardo.h:
Where do I send the letter? Who do I write the letter for?

What does pursuing it exactly mean? Does this involve lawyers?
[HTC Desire S] scozia:
well HTC were no help

sent off the phone for repaire and got it back stating it had illegal software on it

so no fix under warranty.

anyone got anymore suggestions?

or where i can get the eMMC replaced in the UK and how much it would cost?

cheers

how do i check if i have a faulty emmc without root?

i want to find out before trying to root and s-off
[HTC Desire S] Snakeforhire:
t's probably a bit late for you but it might help others : whe

this happens, try killing the fastboot and adb processes in windows ' task manager ( don't worry it would brick your device, if the emmc is fried it can't get much worse, and you can always reflash another rom as long as there's an viable hboot). for me it succeeded in unblocking the flash a few times. Those two processes start up again by themselves and will restart in emergency recovery mode, it might work better if the memory is still writable.

Catching the thread incidentally, haven't read all the latest developments, but to answer your question : Most likely. the Desire S and the G2/DesireZ are very similar as far as hardware goes. YMMV but by and large this holds true for .zipfiles that don't need a very low-level hardware access (=most of them, in practice).

[HTC Desire S] pychu88:
Thank you for answer.

Reason for making it S-ON is warranty of corse ;)

when htc service will see the phone is modified, they immediately reject my warranty.

So there are two options:

- S-ON - to avoid warranty rejection

- Damage to the phone to such a state that it was not possible to verify whether it was modified - of course, with no evidence of physical interference ( I use this method with older phones like Nokia ;) )

Does this mean we can flash G2/Z radio/hboot/kernel, use gfree to radio S-OFF, supercid, and then flash back to SAGA radio/hboot/kernel ?
[HTC Desire S] Jack_R1:
I tried doing this, the kernel doesn't boot. If one could create working Froyo kernel for DS - then gfree would be a viable option.
[HTC Desire S] paulie-uk:
I know this is a bit of a long shot, but isn't the hardware in the Incredible S (Vivo) really similar to that in the Desire S (Saga), too? That device did ship with Froyo. I can't seem to find references to using gfree to S-OFF, but rather a different tool named incsfree that requires the old radio for that device as well. Depending how our mmcblk0p7 is compared to the other phones I'm not sure which tool we'd need, but if Froyo can run then this route has hope.

You didn't also test putting these onto your Desire S perchance, did you?

It'd be nice to make the move from ENG S-OFF to Radio S-OFF & SuperCID, and have a truly unlocked phone.
