[HTC Desire S] pumpernickel77:
Thanks for your patience.. I'm going to try and explain in full what i've done:confused:

I got S-off on my Desire S using "Revoluntionary" (after watching how to do it on YouTube) and after domwloading ClockWorkMod from market place I sucessfully installed Saga LBC ver 5.3. Everything was fine i was very pleased. I had a back up of the old stock ROM saved on my SD card which i did through Clockworkmod too.

Then this morning I got a update message from clockworkmod saying ver6.0 was available to download so i did. My phone never turned back on again:eek::eek: I could get into recovery mode but nothing would work (wipe data, factory reset, Even tryin to install the old backed up rom didn;t work) it just kept freezing.

So i took my sd card out and plugged it into the pc to try to look for anothr rom to try out, thats when i ended up formattig the SD card (god knows why:() So now ive got no backup, no clockworkmod, no nothing on my SD card...Am I screwed??:(
[HTC Desire S] Eclipse_Droid:
from what you have told me u still have clockwordmod recovery as it is on the phone itself. not the sd card. So you are ok there. What i need you to do next it to see if you are able to boot into recovery?

if you can then try again to format data, system and cache.

then try installing a rom from your sd card.

if it is still freezing while trying to perform a format then look back at bens previous posts about using adb through your pc to find out if your emmc chip is damaged
[HTC Desire S] pumpernickel77:
I can boot into recovery no probs there, but when i format data, system and cache it goes so far and then aborts

Ive just tried to install the LBC rom again i renames it PG88IMG ind it asked me to install so i did. It says 'update in progress' and the bar on the right starts to fill up but it stops near the top and eventually aborts:(
[HTC Desire S] Eclipse_Droid:
right, the only thing i can think of to try next is following the same method you said you followed to s-off through revolutionary.

it will say you are already s-off or something but click proceed anyway. and make sure from there that you type "y" when it asks if you want it to install clockworkmod recovery. as this will reinstall a fresh recovery image for you.

this is the only thing i can think of.

let me know how it goes:)
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
did you look at my post#11 above...:confused:

The second half of it contains instructions on how you can flash a new recovery image......from your PC.
[HTC Desire S] pumpernickel77:
Ive just tried to do the s-off again the way i did before but i can only go as far as the part when i connect my phone and open the revolutionary programme and it doesn't detect my phone:(
[HTC Desire S] Eclipse_Droid:
Ok, it looks like the last option to try is flashing a new recovery image manually.

For this you will need to download and install adb. which can be found here

http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-adb-and-how-to-install-it-android/

along with instructions of how to set it up and use it.

after you have done this you will need to download this

http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-saga.img

which is the latest clockworkmod recovery for your phone. and rename it to recovery.img

then copy the recovery image to a convenient location on your computer, preferably with a short path. We will be placing it on the C Drive directly (not in any folder) and using that in the next steps.

Power your device off and reboot it in fastboot mode. (holding volume down whilst pressing power on button) then select "fastboot" from the list of options you get.

Connect your device to your computer via USB and wait till you see ‘fastboot USB’ on the screen.

Launch Command Prompt and type the following command:

fastboot flash recovery c:\recovery.img

Wait for the process to finish and reboot your device once it’s done.
[HTC Desire S] Eclipse_Droid:
any news mate?
[HTC Desire S] woody_2k:
personally i would download the appropriate RUU (Official HTC Stock rom) for your carrier from here. Boot the phone into fast boot. Connect the phone to the PC and run the program.

This will return your phone to stock. I have done this to an original desire that would no longer boot past the carrier logo

If you don't know what you are doing when messing with a phone then you probably shouldn't be doing it!!!!
[HTC Desire S] pumpernickel77:
I;m trying to do it now:( really struggling to understand the way to do the ADB and SDK
[HTC Desire S] Eclipse_Droid:
ok, hope you manage to sort it;)
[HTC Desire S] woody_2k:
The ruu is a program to flash a Rom. It is the application and the Rom all in one. Once you have downloaded the correct one boot your phone into fast boot. Plug the phone into the computer making sure its fully charged then, right click the ruu, select run as administrator. The program will ask If you want to proceed, select yes and sit back. Make sure you follow any prompts and do not unplug the phone till you get to the setup screen (like when you first hot it and it asks you to select your language)

Its all gone quiet in here. Is no news good news?
[HTC Desire S] pumpernickel77:
sorry fot the delay i've been working till late:rolleyes:

Thanks for the info i just dont know which one of the RRU's i need:confused:
[HTC Desire S] woody_2k:
What country are you in and what is your network operator? Basically this will reset it back to stock
[HTC Desire S] pumpernickel77:
I'm in England, on the orange network but my phone was unbranded;)
[HTC Desire S] woody_2k:
This one then. Its the 3Rd up from the bottom of the first post. Follow the link I posted earlier RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.47.401.4_Radio_20.28I.30.085 AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199410_signed
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
After you've tried the RUU method above...<fingers crossed> that that will resolve your issue, but if not.....

Try running the RUU while your phone is in fastboot.

Then can I suggest that you actually read my previous Post #4 which links to another relevant thread where other people also suffering from this same problem as you and I believe they may have come up with a possible solution.... (although you'll need to read the entire thread)
[HTC Desire S] BratPAQ:
someone should really compile these threads and make a troubleshooting guide. i remember the experience, and feeling the helplessness, pressing F5 every minute to see if someone already posted on your thread, waiting for someone to help you. :D

plus it happened on saturday night so my weekend is ruined :D
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
I agree, why don't you could give it a go, especially as you've been a sufferer yourself, what better insight is there...

I already maintain [INDEX][13 SEP 11] ROMS/RECOVERY/ROOT/HBOOT/RADIOS/etc in which I've already attempted to include a minimal FRIED eMMC CHIP? section (see the bottom of #1).

I'd be happy to reference another thread from within that section although I reckon that any guide really should be located within the sticky [GUIDE] A Complete Tutorial for the Beginners and Others in the general section.
[HTC Desire S] pumpernickel77:
I've tried to use to RUU but its not reconising my device its coming up with error message. I've tried different drivers but no matter what i do it cant find 'Android 1.0' drivers
[HTC Desire S] codryn:
You said that you had some freezes. At any time did you pulled the battery out?

try to install drivers from here and after retry RUU install.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Which RUU do you use? what was exact name of file and URL if you have it?

and exactly what error does it give you?

I might be being daft here, But, why do you need Android 1.0 drivers?

there are links to drivers in my signature.
[HTC Desire S] pumpernickel77:
I got the drivers working in the end and my device was found. The program is still not working though. Its starting up alright and i'm following the correct steps:confused:

Its stuck on the screen that says 'Rebooting to Bootloader............. and telling me not to remove the USB but the actual update isn't working or even starting!

Also tried it in fast boot too

I have 'pulled' the battery on more than one occasion to answer the previous post:(
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Did you install the adb and fast boot drivers also from my signature?

Any joy from they phone when it's in hboot or fastboot with adb or fastboot commands from ever PC

Afraid that I'm getting out of my depth here

Swyped from HTC Desire S using XDA Premium
[HTC Desire S] pumpernickel77:
I've got the correct drivers now and RUU, and i've tried in fastboot and normal. When I do it in fastboot it does what I wrote in my previous post and just freezes on the progress screen, but when I try in fastboot it doesn't even get that far! After the 'checking your android device' screen its coming up with the error message that my phone battery is below 30% so it will not proceed any further, my phone was fully charged too so I think my battery is somehow the problem. Not working tomorrow so I think i'll buy a new battery in the morning. Everyone's help on this forum is much appreciated and I thank all who have given me advice. I'll think twice about rooting a phone when I know nothing about it at all :-o I just wanted to remove stock apps and have a custom rom now i'm way over my head and possibly ruined my Phone. :$
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
I believe that this should be an issue covered under your warranty, as removing the battery or downloading from market shouldn't break a phone!

It's worth taking the device to your service centre or into the shop where you bought it from and see what they say (don't admit to S-OFF'ing) I can't see that you at anything to lose!

See the same problem elsewhere with another user and it appears that he's getting it covered on warranty even though he was S-OFF.

EDIT : See what I posted today on HTC Facebook pages as this is happening far too often....they need to omit that there is a known problem and give us a response!
[HTC Desire S] Eclipse_Droid:
agreed!...
[HTC Desire S] woody_2k:
While i agree that its worth a shot and taking it to see if it can be repaired under warranty. I think you have to realise that if they decide not too then they are quite within their rites. At the end of the day if you decide to flash the nand memory with something not created by htc and then try and flash a rom again not designed by htc, it is your own problem if it all goes wrong as you have voided your warranty. Dont go crying to htc because you wrecked your own phone. They locked the boot loaders to stop this happening, i moved away from htc because i know what im doing and i cook myown roms. If i break my phone its my fault

Sent from my livingroom while watching tv using the XDA App
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
I hear what you're saying, but, removal and re-insertion of the battery or multiple market downloads shouldn't fry a phone.

It's irrelevant what software is on the device...which is the reason why some HTC service centres appear to be fixing S-OFF devices with exactly this problem.

As its simply not the users fault!
[HTC Desire S] arrobador:
I used the same arguments with HTC Spain without success.

They argue that 'warranty is void because you installed manipulated software'.

Other people are luckier than me.:(
[HTC Desire S] pumpernickel77:
Well said on facebook!!, I hope they respond and admit to this:confused:

---------- Post added at 05:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:42 PM ----------

Just to update everyone where I'm at now.

Having read loads of other posts about other people having similar problems and having done all the things I could from the help of everyone that’s given me advice, I'm convinced that I'm a victim of the Fried eMMC chip problem that loads of other people have had, Because my error messages were;

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log like mentioned on the linked thread

I know I've only got myself to blame because I pulled the battery out when my phone froze (or maybe it didn't freeze at all and I was just too impatient:()

So I've now just contacted HTC and I explained to them that I pulled the battery out after it froze then it wouldn't boot back up! and after talking me through an attempted factory reset the guy on the phone concluded that I need to send the phone in for repair.

I obviously didn't mention anything about the phone been S-Off/Rooted and he never asked either. He did say though that the only way that it wouldn't be covered by warranty would be if it had been 'water damaged' so I'm going to have to just keep my fingers crossed:rolleyes:

UPS are picking it up in the morning and they say I'll get it back fixed in minimum of 10 days. I'm just hoping they do fix it but if they don't I guess I'll just have to pay whatever they charge if they decide not to do it under warranty.

I fully intend to update this thread with any news about if they do end up fixing it under warranty or not just in case someone stumbles across this post that is wondering the same thing or has had the same problems.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
For the sake of all of us (so long as it doesn't endanger your chance of a happy resolution), I'd suggest that you try to ensure that any communication you have with them is logged, ie not just over the phone, especially anything regarding their stance and any comments that they have on the resolutiomn of your problem and definition of what your actual fault is....

You could even ask them for advice on preventing the same thing occuring again etc...
[HTC Desire S] pumpernickel77:
They fixed it, with no questions asked

Just to let everyone know that I recieved my phone back this afternoon all fixed under warrenty and as good as new:D:D

They never mentioned anything about the device been rooted and s-off either.

I asked them what the fault was but the person I spoke with couldn't tell me anything. However according to the paper that came back with the phone they have replaced the 'Main Board'

I have learnt my lesson now and will never ever pull the battery again under no circumctances!

A big thanks to everyone that offered help and advice throughout my ordeal;)
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
glad to hear that it came to a happy outcome!:D

Somebody? 10char
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldrifta:
sorry for delay, been a little busy.. but you can try flashing orange.nbh then use that for fastboot mode to flash correct radio, spl and recovery
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
What exactly does it look like when you get not allowed? And what exactly did you flash to downgrade?

I think you have a UK version (Drea110), so the RC7 should flash you back to stock. Did you extract the zip and rename the file to DREAIMG.NBH?

Do you have fastboot installed on your PC? I've never used the stock hboot (0.95.0000)- will it let you flash system and recovery images via fastboot?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
Stock SPL and HardSPL are not fastboot capable, to get full fastboot support you need for example 1.33.2003 or 1.33.2005, some others (like 1.33.0013d) may support some fastboot commands.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldrifta:
yeah 0013d only supports fastboot erase commands, but cannot flash img files via fastboot

but his problem is his device wont let him flash the nbh files... so im thinking either the sdcard is not FAT32 or to try the orange.nbh it a temporrary fastboot spl so he can flash radio, recovery and spl quickly right?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rozza21:
Ok, thanks for all the help, but have noo idea what yall are talking about.. I have not nstalled fastboot to my pc, how do i do that? And whatndo i do? Is there a tut around somewhere?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
Since you have the stock hboot, it seems as if fastboot will be of limited use for you. If you are still curious, search around xda- there are plenty of guides.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldrifta:
lol you install fastboot drivers the same way as adb with sdk, and the orange.nbh gives you temporary fastboot to flash radio, recovery and spl

Don't flash it. It will brick your phone. No need to go S-ON though.

Why do you think it will brick my phone???

When you go to HTC than you will get this as update for Desire HD...
[Desire HD Android Development] sonnysoul:
What did you not understand from the HTC page? It clearly states it's an update for the HTC Media Link (DLNA accessory), it's not an update for your Desire HD. Read the page again if you still don't understand, but DO NOT attempt to flash this on your DHD.
[Desire HD Android Development] MrT69:
Ahh... Ok. It seems it's because my worse english. :)

I will try to flash my device with the settings from the ROM. And because of the informations within I will change the "android-info" to this:

That's the reason why I want to switch to "S-ON" and give it a try :)

Not sure if this will work...
[Desire HD Android Development] :
You won't be able to flash with S-ON. Plus you will brick your phone anyway.
[Desire HD Android Development] sonnysoul:
He just doesn't seem to understand that it's not an update for the Desire HD, but for the Media Link accessory.

Flashing it probably won't work, but if it does the result will be a brick which looks like a Desire HD.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jorijn:
So, I'm the (un)lucky owner of a Vodafone branded HTC Trophy. I installed the latest HTC update which landed me on SPL version 1.22.2250.

I figured I want to install this version of Mango since I'll be able to to the rest of the updates trough Zune.

I don't know if I'll be needing to unbrand this device or not, I only know that if I run the proper RUU tool against my RGB screen (boot loader?!) it comes out with error 266 and leaves my phone hanging. I then need to reboot my device by pulling out the battery.

I was fairly advanced with Android's ROM way, and by means are not a stupid person. I googled quite a lot and read through most topics in this sub forum but it doesn't make sense yet.

What I'll be needing: A foolproof way to get to the latest Mango version. I don't care whats in between and are willing to take moderate risk such as flashing HSPL. There are so many ways and terms here I simply don't have the time to figure it all out. Time is money and since I'll hopefully be sparing out a few hours with this way I offer the lucky winner of writing me a fool proof step of plans $10 on paypal.

Also, bare with me. English isn't my native language. :-)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marvin_S:
You can contact me in dutch and i might be able to help you out.

Though i have samsung device.

What version are you running? Did you try to upgrade to Mango beta? are you dev-unlocked?

If you are on NoDo and unlocked, make sure you install provxml deployer and run it before upgrading to mango.

Try installing the zune beta and all the files, than do the upgrade, now run the htc connection setup (this will execute some files which will fully unlock your device). After you did this, make sure to run provxmldeployer again, this will place the same files back, you will need these after the second update to mango b2.
