Well u have the adb way...

or just reboot ur phone...

with vol up + down + power button and as soon as screen becomes black and before it re-glows pull out the battery...

Basically it means d short time for which the cell is power off in reboot pull out battery...

It wnt have drastic effect as long as u do it exactly as i said...

Hope dis u ll find easier :)

Logic : Wen cell switched off watever u do has no effect ;)...dats logical :)
[HTC Desire S] MarylandCookie:
Thats correct however when you reboot you can pull battery then. Needs timing though, before the boot screen comes up.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Thanks. Nice idea. Can anyone tell me the ADB command to reboot into recovery?
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
For me the Key combo is intended for any time that the phone hangs while it's booted or still running.....(ie the infamous market download/install issue?)

The adb commands are there for the boot loops.

adb reboot
adb reboot reovery
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot reboot

I would have written more in my signature but it's already at it's maximum length! BUGGER! I also would have also pressed THANKS to a couple of you but apparently I've been too generous today already - serves me right for having a late night online!

They're just there in the hope that as many newcomers read them as possible and saves us/me going through the same "is my device bricked?" questions that worryingly are turning up at about the rate of 1-3 a day presently!
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Yeah, same here. I NEED MORE THANKS !!!!!!!! 5 per day isn't enough when your with helpful people :D
[HTC Desire S] petreski:
iii) Now switch off charge again till it becomes green again (generally it should in 2-3 min)

???

I think it shoud be:

iii) Now switch ON charge again till it becomes green again (generally it should in 2-3 min)
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Na it should be off only....disconnect your cell...then switch off your cell...connect it to charger and you will find orange light...it would turn to green int 2-3 min...now disconnect it from charger...power on into recovery mode and delete battery stats...hope now its clear...
[HTC Desire S] nodeffect:
Nice Guide!
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Thanx bro...

Just add this guide to your list of guides so that it aint lost....

POSTING THIS AGAIN

Here's an alternate and easy way to calibrate the battery -

https://market.android.com/details?i...=search_result

Use this app. No need to go into recovery

-Charge the phone to 100%

-Then, without unplugging charger, click the "Battery Calibration" button.

-It'll give you a CALIBRATION SUCCESSFUL message. Then, unplug your charger.
[HTC Desire S] petreski:
repost link ..
[HTC Desire S] bail.de:
what's the difference between wipe data/factory reset and 'wipe all partitions'?

it's the last option in my recovery and noted with dangerous.
[HTC Desire S] ngek202:
how about the Wipe Battery Stats?
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Yup its similar...

But generally doin each individually assures things are done right :)

Yup its dangerous cos once thatis done its necessary to flash a new rom :)

---------- Post added at 06:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:21 PM ----------

Well battery stats should be wiped after you charge your battery 100%...

so flash new rom...charge cell to 100%...wipe battery stats :)
[HTC Desire S] amonrei:
It wipes everything except SD Card.
[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
petreski was right! That sentence confused me too. I would put a comma between "Now switch off" and "charge" (or add the word "phone" after "switch off") ;) Thanks to the post above I understood what to do exactly because it wasn't clear to me too.

Anyway, I've seen shrome99 posted another method wich seems quicker and easy. Is it effective like the one posted above?

It would also be useful if shrome99 would post again the link to the application, or at least the name of the app which is included, for sure in this list.

Thanks!
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Yup done...

For battery calibration you can use BatteryCalibration.apk from android market...

Charge till 100%...it even has facility for a beep when charged 100%...then

Run it and it would delete the battery stats for you...:)
[HTC Desire S] Rymon:
Hi!

Step 4 states: "4. Format Cache then Format Boot"

Can someone guide me to the "Format Boot" option, as I can only find "Format Cache" for this step?

Thank you!
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Well just below format cache there is format boot right ???
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
here - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration&feature=search_result

I always use this. SUPER QUICK AND EASY
[HTC Desire S] Rymon:
Well, no.

In the "Mounts and Storage Menu" I've got format /cache, format /data, format /sdcard, format /system.

I'm using Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4 by the way.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Try the 4ext recovery it's better in my opinion, certainly more user friendly, see link in the index thread or my signature

Swyped from my Desire S using XDA Premium
[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
Yes, format boot is present in 4EXT, but not in CWM.
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Yup i wud suggest d same...use ext4...

but if you wanna continue with cwm...

You can use format in mount & storage as well...:)
[HTC Desire S] sagarda7:
Best way to protect your phone in the case of stuck HTC screen is to wait till battery is finished and flash another ROM properly. it saves your emmc. I have tried it many times
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Not really...Just reboot..pressing vol + - and power...as soon as phone shuts for an instant before restarting again...remove battery...just keep ur timing right...all would be well :)
[HTC Desire S] sagarda7:
But When there is white HTC stuck screen, Pressing Vol+- and power does not work for me...............have you ever faced such problem?
[HTC Desire S] HelixH:
If you switch to EXT4 is it still possible to flash backups made with CWM or would I have to flash CWM first and then use the backup?
[HTC Desire S] sagarda7:
It works. When you select restore and backup menu, 4ext recovery shows backup made by cockwork mod
[HTC Desire S] xxmorph3u5xx:
this should really be sticky
[HTC Desire S] jo mateix:
Hi,

maybe a stupid question: I'm on cyanogenmod 7 on my HTC Desire S for a week, and I'm experiencing the cell drain issue (maybe due to "national roaming" option, I know). Could I repeat the steps on the first post and restore a backup after that, or I'll have the same issues?

Sorry for my english and thanks in advance :-)
[HTC Desire S] blindndumb:
HaH! I still remember the first time , when I was to flash my first ROM on DS ... So much questions on head as if I was planting a dynamite ..lol :)

This guide helped me . Thanks vampire

Peace
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Yup it would...

Also calibrate battery well...

Just be watchful about apps you install and their settings...

All should be good...

Lemme know if problem persists :)

Np ya...Nice to know this thread serving it purpose well :)

Battery calibration.

I am not sure if somebody has already mentioned it here, if not i do it now. It's only something i read a few days (2 weeks or so) ago, a official statement of a google developer.

I am not sure if this was the right guy but yeah it's the same content:

Great tutorial for newcomers. Brings back memories of my first days on android, learning the ropes, taking every step cautiously and deliberately, checking every detail six times (after the first eight times! :p). Felt like a virgin about to be deflowered.

Turned out the experience was quite satisfying instead!!;) Guides like these help ease people into the whole custom ROM world, and i really appreciate that. :)

Hy guys,

I have my Desire S which is network locked in Orange carrier. I S-off it with revolutionary method and then i instaled rom RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.080 5U_38.03.02.11_M_release which is supposed to be an unbranded rom.When i insert my vodafone sim it still tels me Network locked.

Did i do something wrong?

Can somebody help me please?

Thanks,

Robert
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
You bought a ORANGE locked phone and it's after S-OFF it's not accepting a VODAFONE SIM sounds logical to me! :rolleyes:

Just because you've S-OFF'd you phone it doesn't mean that you have carrier unlocked it - that is something completely separate...sorry. :(

EDIT: You can normally pay your carrier (ie ORANGE) or pay online through a website less than £20 to carrier un-lock your phone in this way, I'm afraid that I don't know a site to recommend as I bought an unlocked phone in th e first place, but I've read several similar threads over the last few months....in this forum so have a search and a read. I recommend that you don't use a unlocking website unless someone else recommends it first.
[HTC Desire S] robert2crazy:
Just because you've S-OFF'd you phone it doesn't mean that you have carrier unlocked it - that is something completely separate...sorry. :(

I thought that instaling this rom RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.080 5U_38.03.02.11_M_release will unblok my phone that is what i fugured out from the thread i downlod'it http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1002506 for example in post nr.11 is talking about unbranding.

Is not the same thing with what im tring to do?

10x,

Robert
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
More terminology confusion....:confused:

Un-branding means removing the Network branding from your ROM that be stuff like network specific splash screens and network bloatware applications which they install on top of the HTC base ROM.

By installing an unbranded HTC ROM you will will un-brand your phone in that it won't have the signs of being from a specific network, it will be like if you paid for an un-locked phone it would come with this ROM installed on it out of the box.

But, even if you install this ROM on your device and therefore un-brand it your phone will still unfortunately be locked onto the network (carrier locked) from which you bought it.
[HTC Desire S] robert2crazy:
I got it wrong then !

Thanks helping me understand !
[Motorola Droid 3] dvigue:
i go a used D3 yesterday. a factory wipe was done, and it was already rooted for me. i rerooted it because i did not see superuser. i am running adw witch does run better then stock launcher but the phone over all is really laggy, kinda like my droidx on froyo was...

this is why i wish i had an SBF for 959, aside from a factory reset again, is there anything in i can do to try and make this run better? im wondering if it is slow because of something the previous user did? and the camera takes AT LEAST 6-7 seconds to load up EVERY time, and it takes for ever to get into focus sometimes...i hear great things about this phone, but so far im not inpressed at all..

thx all
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
The camera does open very slow. The phone shouldn't be lagging though. Only problem I ever had was with stock launcher. Don't know why this is happening to you.
[Motorola Droid 3] somemadcaaant:
Check your apps, might have a strange one.

Sounds like something is chewing up your CPU, restart phone and then do some tests and benchmarks, see if your getting average Droid 3 performance. This phone is faster then Tegra phones in most cases including games.

when we get some roms, kernel tweaks and cm7 then this thing will fly.
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
By the time we get CM it will be CM8. :p
[Motorola Droid 3] kern417:
I ended up going through almost every app i had and checking the refresh intervals to make sure it was limited. also i would limit the accounts you have synced and if you can use the 3rd party apps so you can get better control over how it behaves vs. letting motorola settings take over.

I've had mine for about 24 hours and it doesnt lag processor wise, of course without 4G some of the higher quality data transfer will be slower.
[Motorola Droid 3] kshen1:
Unfortunatel you might be correct. :P

Hello,

I'm here quite new to the forum

and I have the first problem

My LG E720 is dead I can not

unbootable.

There is no lg startup animation.

I can not boot into emergency mode.

And in the rescue menu!!

And there is no usb connection!

can someone help me Please!!

Thank you!

Ps: Sorry for my bad english
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Do you have a custom recovery installed? If yes, then can you boot into it?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david9904:
No, unfortunately I have not installed a custom recovery!

Are there any other possibilities?

But thanks anyway for your answer!

Greetings david 12 years old.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
How did this happen?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david9904:
It happened when I flashing the phone.

I wanted to flashing it because a program

destroyed the

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Which rom did you try to flash? Was that rom made specifically for your device? Were you trying to flash the rom from your pc (via USB)?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david9904:
Standard rom

I wanted to Flash the Standart Rom.

via usb

With the original flash tool from lg!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
I'm guessing you mean the stock rom. But, was that rom made for your device specifically? It can't be generalized as saying you used the "lg flashing tool". The rom has to be for your device specifically.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david9904:
yes, that Rome was ​​for my LG E720!!

and Ihave flash my lge720 with the orginal flashing tool.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Well, I guess your device is bricked (strangely). Did anything go wrong during the process? Like the usb being disconnected during the process or something? Was your battery life high enough during the process? Or anything else you may want to note? This isn't normal to be flashing the stock rom and it bricking your device. You're just going to have to return it (if it has a warranty). If not, then you'll just have to get a new device. Since you can't turn it on whatsoever, and you have no custom recovery installed, there is nothing else which can be done.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david9904:
Thank you!!!

Thank a lot for all your answers.

I guess i will send it to the lg service center.

I hope it is covered by warrenty.:D:D

after that i pulled out the battery

No modded drivers atall i am using this

Actually when phone goes to proper bootmode than only it will ask for proper drivers but here the question is it is in some special mode how to get it out or bypass this

i wonder how many of you seen same problem in HD2 when wrongly flashed its detected as QUALCOM CDMA TECHNOLOGIES bla bla remember?
[HTC Sensation] crx4xharder:
Send it back to htc. You probably didn't successfully s=off. So just tell them one day it died and would never turn back on. Even if they can tell you did something to it, they'll just send it back to you. Youre no worse off.

Your bootloader seems to be corrupted! Why you pull the battery? Revolutionary give back errors many times and it works with ot without this messages!

Its your own error ask htc to Pay for repair! Not tell it wont turn on and you dont do anything this is not fair!

You pulled the Battery in bootloader flashing process... just stupid!

Its not detecting the Phones processor its detecting the Chipset debug mode!

We could fix your phone in this mode but we dont have a command list!
[HTC Sensation] xtcislove:
Same was at the Desire Qualcom CDMA technologies but the phones was turning on! Only USB was bricked! And there was an easy fix (flashing the misc partition) this could not help here.
[HTC Sensation] HannoSLM:
Try running revolutionary from linux
[HTC Sensation] xtcislove:
Why do you think it help?

if the bootloader dont start ADB and fastboot wil not work! And Revolutionary need working fastboot and adb!!

Bootloader is corrupted... he pulled the battery while the writing process!
[HTC Sensation] Sdobron:
Get a new phone and don't even try to s-off. Save yourself future headache...
[HTC Sensation] pimpmaneaton:
Wheres the fun in a stock phone. He should be able to install official RUU by placing PG58IMG.zip on root of sd card and loading bootloader by pulling battery first and then volume down and power on. Download RUU for thread that has Shipped ROM collection in title. Then once that is done if you attempt the s-off process again(which you should) just make sure all your ducks are in a row before you start, all tye correct drivers installed, fastboot turned off, fully charged wouldn't hurt either.
