i most likely will not have time today but tomorrow i'll try and get the hang of adb and fastboot. Explore my options with it. If nothing happens i'll just have to call htc.

I was thinking if i can't do anything else, i should just drain the battery by swapping the battery with my brother's desire s, drain the battery and then swap them back. Maybe that'll help?
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
You'll see in my Signature the links to get both ADB and FASTBOOT, you'll also need HTC drivers installed.

This is the usefull THREAD that I was talking about.....in determining whether you are indeed suffering from fried eMMC chip, even though at this stage we're reasonably confident.
[HTC Desire S] Malooga:
That is not a fried chip! If he can get into recovery and wipe cache it definately isn't a fried chip, i had this 2 days ago. I sorted it somehow..... been drinking tonight so don't expect an answer until late tomorrow
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
@Malooga

It would obviously be quality if it's not and the device is recoverable from this position. Any clues how you sorted this out, using what approach?

@dan-fish

Do you have EXT4 recovery installed?

If you do great. If not then 1) download this FILE 2) copy it onto your SD card 3) enter recovery 4) flash the EXT4 ZIP file 5) then Reboot Recovery.

Using EXT4 recovery, look at what format the existing CACHE partition and the other partitions are in? this can be done using the EXT3 - 4EXT - 4EXT option of the EXt4 recovery main screen.

I'd also try to download a custom ROM WIPE script and then run this from recovery (reporting back any errors).

Then try to flash a custom ROM also again also from recovery having downloaded it to your SD card like LBC using the flash ZIP from SD card option in recovery.
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Will try later today. Please do try and help malooga
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Although Malooga might be suffering today from the morning after (we've all been there) ;)

I'll be online most of the day, as I'm currently off work sick...as I've somehow knackered my back - so XDA is keeping me sane :rolleyes:

[HTC Desire S] tready:
I had this happen I just wiped data factory reset wipe cache wipe dalvik then go into mounts and format data format cache format system then flashed my backup the phone then booted up if u don't have a backup download a rom zip and flash that if you have tried the above then I'm all out of ideas good look
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
As you don't have any Backups.....we should attempt to move forward.

As we know that you can format/wipe partitions (eg CACHE appeared to work) you should try to manually format/wipe DATA, SYSTEM and CACHE.

Download a custom ROM to your SD card ie LBC like LBC v0.5.3

Then try to flash this Custom ROM from RECOVERY using the flash ZIP from SD card option.

Report back any errors and progress.
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
ok will try now and update in 10-15 mins.

also i haven't explored my options with fastboot mainly because i don't really understand it yet but if there are any options available through there (excluding the last resort which right now is looking like our only option) i will be happy to try
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
I'm by no means an expert either and fastboot is something that I've yet to master..so before you try that EVIL one.....lets try some other stuff and look for advice from others.......

I'm online tonight for next couple of hours, we'll until the England Football game kick offs anyway!
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
will be watching that myself!!!! installed the rom. still get an error pointing me to the directory of the rom and saying status 1. Also when the battery is dead, recovery does not load and if i do have to resort to that let's hope they can't be bothered to charge it. Still looking forward to malooga's option.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
When you say installed the ROM I guess that it still won't boot?

Did you ever explore the quite indepth series of commands that are provided by the link that's in my signature Fried eMMC Chip? have a look at that....and see how far you get with that try to cut n paste all output so that you can share it.....

Might also be worth use having a go at fastboot commands and having a go at flashing recovery using that (fastboot drivers also in my sig) would be more useful if we could chat using IM of some sort, as I don't have IRC client, but, do have facebook account, so if you still want to continue after the football PM your facebook account name to me on XDA and I'll get in touch and we can use FB chat and try to continue? if you want? just so happens that the Misses is out this evening,
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
I don't want to intrude on your private life :D

Anyway I've been so busy lately with a flood of guests coming and going. everyday I have to leave it till tomorrow. But I have to phone htc as soon as possible before school life starts. Will get myself introduced to fastboot. Try and push a ROM through it and contemplate with the last resort if it works.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Fastboot exe are in my sig

Don't fear you're not intruding, I've somehow managed to knacker my back recently and am suffering, one of the only things that i can do is sit at a PC - and attempting to solve problems here on XDA is stopping me from going completely insane plus on the positive side it's doing something that i enjoy and get to lean and hopefully teach others at the same time!

Unfortunately I'm still of the belief that your device may be un-recoverable....:mad:

You/We need to try the series of commands in this POST#1 in order to further determine......what your next step is....
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
starting to get the hang of fastboot and adb now. Will try that thing to check the eMMC situation and report back in a bit. Right now i'm just trying simple fastboot commands to see if they work. Currently doing a factory reset.

how do i get my device recognised by adb when i'm in recovery

back to fastboot, i'm stuck on a simple task like fastboot reboot-recovery, which i believe eliminates our last resort. I might just have to send it to htc with a dead battery.

Search for a thread for 7.00.1002 bootloader, flash it as PG88IMG and celabrate

Sent from my HTC Desire S
[HTC Desire S] Jack_R1:
You should improve your badly lacking google-fu. There were at least 3 threads last week with the same problem as yours.

Resolution as suggested above me.

If you search some more, you'll even understand what the reason behind this phone behavior is.
[HTC Desire S] rain987:
Wonder which thread they read about flashing ics. Gotta make you wonder which person wrote this method that is causing many people to get stucked and

who is promoting ics ruu that everyone is so keen in updating it?
[HTC Desire S] noobnooby:
Success! Phone is resurrected.

Hi amidabuddha, :highfive:

Many thanks for the pointer, I updated HBOOT to 7.00.1002 and flashed the ICS ROM again via bootloader after extracting it from the RUU and renaming it (couldn't find it before because I was searching using today's date, until I realised my mistake - Duh!).

Happy to report that ICS is up and running OK and I have a phone again (phew!). :victory:

I have clicked your 'Thanks' button.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fosdos4790:
My friends inspire will only boot into the bootloader. When I turn the phone it goes straight to the bootloader. The phone does recognize when you plug in a usb cable, but it won't let me scroll through the options. The phone is not rooted nor did he try to root it. It boots into that screen and won't allow you to do anything. Any help would be appreciated.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
Sounds like the volume button is stuck.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cwhitney24:
Did you say it is not rooted and it's booting into bootloader? How long have they had it? You sure it's not rooted? If it's not rooted call for a Warrenty exchange.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ranklepup:
This is definitely the answer, something might possibly be in between the rocker also, like a small rock that would cause the constant connection for the "down" action that wont allow you do do anything.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fosdos4790:
It's definitely not rooted. Security is still on and he had no idea what I meant when I asked if he rooted it. The volume rocker being stuck makes sense somewhat. We got the volume rocker to work one time and did a factory reset. After that the volume rocker quit working again. Att said they wouldn't exchange it because their first thoughts were it was tampered with and that he tried to root it. I'm a cell phone repairman. Maybe il just open it up and see if there's something blocking the volume rocker.

I just bought my elderly dad an iconia. He's been typing away in Vietnamese with a keyboard and an onscreen viet symbols on the viewsonic gtablet.

[Acer Iconia A500] fermunky:
I haven't tried it, but I would try tapping and holding the input field and see if a pop up menu comes up with the option of showing the soft keyboard?

I think you can push the up key on the tablet to bring it up, theres also settings i believe for the keyboard.

Its still a beta but if it takes off I think it could be great. The android market just doesn't sort apps well. Why they don't add more categories is beyond me.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] billygalbreath:
We didn't add a bunch of categories for the initial launch because we didn't want a bunch of empty categories all over the place while we wait for themes to slowly come populating in.

As for future categories we are working on a system that allows developers to add new categories to the system fluidly.

odd that RIM is dropping so much. No, wait, I just turned in my work BB and use my personal EVO for work too.

So I was once a iPhone user and have made the switch to my Inspire and love it.

I've searched google and such but I seem to get people saying you don't need one, you do need one, you need malware protection instead..?:confused: Any advice would be awesome.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Jake33108:
Common Sense. If you don't download apps from shady sources and you pay attention to what permissions you're giving apps you should never really need to worry about anit-virus software.

I installed one of the antivirus apps on my phone and was curious on how it functioned....it runs constantly and takes up precious RAM, it is mostly a waste.

For future reference, you should be able to edit the title by clicking "Go Advanced" after clicking "Edit"

Been searching around online but cannot find an answer so hopefully one of you good people will be able to help. I have the latest release from www.samfirmware.com, non-rooted 2.3.4 (I9100XXKH3) with Google Talk (v1.3).

Hello,

I got a problem, it started few days again when I decided to use mobilevoip app on speaker, ever since I'm not able to hear the sound off a call out off the ear speaker.

I already tried flashing various roms as I wanted to rule out it was a bug off a rom, well so I flashed ARDHD rom because its pretty stable and I would not expect it with that, but issue still there and I only hear the sound when I put the speaker on.

Could it be ear speaker is broken? I have noticed whenever I call the DHD get's full off sweat, I think that won't matter, but I'm just abit scared when I turn it in for warranty they will say it has water damage even though it didn't get really wet once, just few water drops.

I'm sure now its broken.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] SpongeyMalone:
Dear all,

I've an HTC Desire rooted with a Clockwork Recovery Image that restores without a problem when I've installed ROMS that did'nt quite 'do it for me'.

Now I have settled with Oxygen-2.2.2 (V Fast) and I want to create a recovery.

When the ROM Manager creates a recovery backup of the Oxygen setup, will the backup sit side by side with my original Desire backup so that I can load either from Recovery Boot Screen?

I can find a lot of help about getting to the restore but not enough to quell my fears.

Thankyou for reading this - hope you can help.

SpongeyMalone
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Dirk:
ROM Manager creates each backup with a unique name, (which is date and time of creation). Every time you run backup it therefore creates a new backup image alongside asy existing ones you may have.

I'm running SyndicateROM Frozen 1.2, fresh install with twilightzone 1.1.1. For some reason, in setCPU, the cpu is always running at the max setting, eg 1200, using conservative governor. It won't throttle down. According to the SystemPanel app, the cpu is not actually doing anything, it's just stuck at max clock setting.

So I decided to goto stock with odin and start over, only that the phone in download mode will not be recognized by two computers running win7 32/64 bit. I can turn the phone on, use CWM. It behaves normally otherwise. The phone is recognized when turned on, and the appropriate drivers install. USB debugging is turned on. Any ideas how to get my phone recognized in download mode?

Old rom: android 2.1 update 1.

If not, then sometimes when you wipe other things besides the factory reset it ruins the rom. So its good to try and flash it again.
