[HTC Incredible S] expiredyoghurt:
Hi guys,

what I have:

Optus (AU) HTC Incredible S - it was running 2.3.3 fine, no hacks/root or anything has been done to it. [I've done a vol down + power button hboot thingy and it says S-ON]

what happened:

I connected the phone to a WIFI network to update my apps, it started updating many apps. mid-way through the updates, the phone became unresponsive and apparently hung, left it alone for a few hours, it remained hung.

I disconnected the power and pulled the battery.

The phone has since refused to boot past the HTC splash logo.

What I've tried:

I've tried rooting the phone with Revolutionary - however I can't complete the steps as I am unable to boot the phone.

I've tried Hboot with the [PG32IMG.zip] file - nothing seemed to change

I've tried usb fastboot with adb and fastboot - Signature verification failed [well, it is S-ON]

I've tried recovery - failed, gave me 3 arrows, 2 in a circular pattern and one straight, followed by a phone icon and a red triangle and ! mark

I've tried running the RUU.exe file for 2.3.3 optus, but it does not get past 'rebooting to bootloader'

Current situation:

I've spent around 6 hours trying to figure out what went wrong and make it work ... but nothing seems to work ... so guys ... i really could use some help ...

btw, I can't warranty it as I purchased the phone in Australia, but now am in Singapore ... I'll be returning to Australia in January though ...

All help and suggestions will be greatly appreciated ...

Thanks!

You better wait till january and claim the warranty!
[HTC Incredible S] hassanhm:
hey buddy

well , the easy way to solve your problem is to download the stock rom for your device , and install it using the offical HTC exe ( the rom exe ) .

it will do it all and get your device like brand new .

hope this solve it .
[HTC Incredible S] itsbeertimenow:
If the above doesn't work send it to any htc repair center. You have to pay but whatever.
[HTC Incredible S] expiredyoghurt:
Hey hassanhm,

thanks for the reply. I've tried searching the HTC official website for the stock rom, however it is not available for download due to the fact that firmware upgrades are now over the air ..

i've downloaded the RUU rom by optus (RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_Optus_AU_2.12.980.2_R_Radio _20.2803.30.085AU_3805.04.03.12_M_release_185028_s igned

http://www.filefactory.com/file/cfdd...028_signed.exe) found here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1033922 - however it just gets stuck on the booting to bootloader step ...

if there a different stock rom exe file i should be using?

Thanks!

[HTC Incredible S] bernlim:
I'm from Singapore. I had this issue, spent a day flashing and rebooting to try and fix it. Then I have up and just flashed an official ROM, I think any one will do, then sent it to HTC. It was still s-off but they didn't care. Took just 3 days and they sent it back, fixed and like brand new. I suggest you don't waste time and just sent to HTC. it will come back s-on but you can just root it again.

Hope this helps!
[HTC Incredible S] henrylife:
There's one but when they put latest Hboot (1.16.0000)then it's harder to flash ROM than 1.13.0000. Hope you get your phone back and it's working :)

If you claim warranty : YOU LOSS A CHANCE TO HAVE BIG FUN :D I'm exactly on your situation (may be worse), but probably we feel different. I can only boot into fastboot and hboot ... LOL

You must be able to revive, since you did not do anything related to s-off, rooting etc. rooting, s-offing are for modding addict fellow :D

What I've tried:

[/QUOTE]

Revolutionary only work on phone with NORMAL BOOTING (Android booting). If you did on fastboot then (I Think) you start create big trouble

This will only work for UPDATE, mean you must use higher version of ROM than in the phone (if you are s-on) -CMIIW-

can you post your mainver : FYI, I could NOT resolve my vivo since my situation is worse than you, but probably my experience with unsuccesfull result will give different output ... who knows.

on fastboot (I'm sure You know how to do) fastboot getvar all (windows command) and post the output for our analysing together and help each other.

You will loss a big FUN on your life !!! by choosing easy way.

i have the same problem with a unit of incredible s. will not continue booting up past the htc logo.

Is this a software problem? cause im thinking maybe its the motherboard.
[HTC Incredible S] x1123:
.

what did you do before stuck. Can you boot into bootloader (?) are you S-ON or S-OFF (?) what is Hboot version do you have. To have bootloader state : press power and volume down button SIMULTANEOUSLY if within TEN MINUTES you do not have bootloader status you should stop and let us know here :D
[HTC Incredible S] ice_pick88:
Thanks for the reply. Its S-On, Hboot 1.13, I was simply browsing using the phone when it restarted and stuck with the htc logo.
[HTC Incredible S] x1123:
I'm wondering. You probably did not enable fastboot option > setting > power > UNTHICK fastboot item.

On your today phone state you can not do it. Do you remember ? you enable fastboot option or not. Presumed you enable fastboot option then you can go to bootloader by pressing power and volume down buttons simultaneously > once you come into bootloader there is an option FACTORY RESET. If you see RED TRIANGLE. No other choice (AFAIK) you need to download the RUU of your phone and just run RUU ... all your personal user data will be wiped.
[HTC Incredible S] ice_pick88:
Thanks again for the reply. when i choose the factory reset the phone hangs but when i select recovery it goes to the red triangle logo. Where and how can i know whats RUU of my phone? Sorry im literally a noob. :)
[HTC Incredible S] programci_84:
3 days ago, i was having the same problen but i could solve it :)

Here what you can do:

1. Eject your sd card and insert another android phone. You can create a gold card over another android phone (Making gold card is completely independent from android version or phone model. Trust me.). You can search the forum, there are a lot of guides for making a gold card.

2. Boot into fastboot, plug your usb cable. Open a windows console, and send that command:

Fastboot getvar mainver

It will tell you your mainver.

3. Go here: http://forum.xda-developers.co m/showthread.php?t=1359555 .

In there, you can find original rom list. Choose one which has higher mainver than yours then download it. The thread also explains how to install the original rom.

Hth.

[HTC Incredible S] x1123:
Just for additional info. If you can not find another android/windows phone to get sdcard CID (you have only one phone and now in trouble). You can use any laptop with Built In card reader at PCI slot and NOT USB STORAGE if you were not have BOTH ... it's time to ask help your neighbour or your friends

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redfreak:
Hi guys.

Had a galaxy s for 3 months now. Everything seems fine, till yesterday night. The lower part of the screen is not responding. The letter "F" on the keyboard is un-pressable, but went back to normal a few mins later.

Later....

The next morning(Today), had notifications for sms, and this time, the jigsaw notification is un-pressable as well. Its on the same part as the letter "F" in the keyboard. However, its back to normal after a few mins.

I have a hunch that its software error, but might even be a hardware one since its on the same location. Would appreciate any help/experience from other users. Im just afraid this would happen again in a time of need...

For GB, just flash (oden/heimdall/heimdall one-click) any gb kernel in the dev forum and you should get CWM (unless the kernel is a fully stock kernel, like the first one in my one-click collection).
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chris31jct:
A little lecture could help you. This has been answered like 100 times a day.

Use latestodin, flash ravers kj6 odin rom (yes, you have to be in dl mode and rom file goes in pda and i think you need to decompress the .zip file so u use the .tar) and after that just flash drhonk kj1 kernel so you can get root and cwm. Then you can flash gb roms without problem.

Theres a big post saying that Rom Manaher doesnt work wotj raver.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] LAWLKiPz:
actualy rom manager has a Galaxy s 4G setting now so yes it does work
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] LAWLKiPz:
Actually when i got Rom Manager i had a setting for Galaxy S 4G so im guessing the answer is yes.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
No. "NO" means "no".

If you don't believe me. Go ahead. Flash it, then wonder why you can't flash anything from it or do anything with it.

Everyone who has told you that it doesn't work is trying to save you time and headache.

Also, tehgyb gave you all the good links ;) (thanks man!)

Instead of insisting on using rom mangler, you should listen and read.

If all you want is clockwork mod + root + gb, just heimdall one-click my kj6 kernel and stock rom... The link that says: Download SMS KJ6 Kernel Stock Rom with Bootloaders

After you run that, you can flash roms with CWM (not rom manager) as you wish, and you will always have root with that kernel.

I have tried many flashable mods from around the forums and non have worked. Are they rom specific?

Right now I have ARHD 3.6.8 XE running [Theme][All HTC Sense 3.0 Devices] GingerThyparancy - Transparent Gingerbread (http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1191424) and its great. I have just been trying to get the clock background transparent. I cant seem to locate the correct PNG file to make it transparent.

I am also running GingerThyparancy Inverted Version from the market that accompanies this theme (https://market.android.com/details?i...GingerInverted) it makes the clock black with white numbers.

Does anyone know how to edit that skin to make the clock background transparent?

I decompiled the m10 files, I can see all the png files, but I dont know how to tell which is the clock background, once I decompile the m10 file how do i determine which square is the one behindthe clock .... or am I way off base here?

anyhelp is greatly appreciated

thanks

If your looking at it through m10, it's closer to the bottom of the list. Measure dimensions off a screenshot and look for the one with similar dimension of that measurement.

Hello fellow Spice owners!

I'm working on developing some custom firmware for the XT300 and eventually the XT311/316, but to get started I need some ROM dumps.

Ideally I need a dump of both the 2.2 FroYo and 2.3 Gingerbread firmwares.

If you've never dumped a ROM before it's not too hard.

First you need a rooted phone. I don't have XT31x hardware yet, but SuperOneClick should work for the 2.2 ROM and there are detailed instructions for rooting 2.3 in the Q&A forum.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1218506

For the rest of the instructions, there is a simple to understand set of directions at M3.

AFAIK, the XT530/531 are not very closely related to the XT3xx line. They mostly just seem to share cosmetic similarities with a different hardware platform.

Edit:

Ignore what I just said, upon further inspection they do appear to be related, just based on the newer/faster msm7227T SOC.

Looks like I've got another device to add to my list.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dataslycer:
Just found this

" Hi Xiao, I found a way to download the SBF file from Motorola for the Brazilian Rom, here it is: You need the Motorola Software Update (MSU) Any time after the MSU detect your IMEI number, Model Number and Operator, You need to reboot your phone and press and hold “Space” key, don’t close your MSU your phone will be in RSD/BOOTLOADER mode and the MSU will continue with the following message “The update process has been interrupted and must be restarted.” click Retry And it give you the SBF for your firmware. MSU will download the SBF file and put it in C:\Program Files\Motorola\Software Update\firmwares. it also created a file Retail – Brazil_Brazil_WCDMA_RETBRXT300WN.xml.msu who tell to motorola the file to download. As soon the file is download and the MSU prepare the installation it is important to copy the SBF to another location because it will be deleted when finished. Once you have copy the file you can stop the installation. Someone tried this with a Canadien rom but the MSU doesn't detect the Model Number and Operator."

could you give this a shot?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smnc:
Good ecfort!

Unfortunately I've tried it before, but it won't work. Motorola never released any Canadian SBF to the public update server as far as I can tell. They have two SBF servers. The "public" one which the Motorola Software Updated uses and the "private" one, which requires a secure authenticated session and is only available to authorized Motorola Service Centers.

Also, that was supposed to read "ROM dump" :-P

I did a dump of my system, boot and recovery partitions. I've got them all in .img files which are flashable by fastboot.

Handy for recovering from a messed up build.

I've only ever built a few ROMs, but I think I can pull it off.

The plan is to start simple with trying to get FroYo from an XT316 to run on a XT300. The hardware is near identical, except for the upgraded CPU, so it should be simple.

Then on to an AOSP FroYo build. Eventually I'm going to try to get GB running too, but that might be too much for the limited hardware.

Of course, I'm stuck with the stock 2.6.29 kernel due to the bootloader lock, so no overclocking or kernel tweaks.

I'm also going to try and get an AOSP build done for the XT311/316 once I get my hands on the firmware.
