Well...Sam did Sing...but to be honest I'm not a wm fan, so just looking at the tech, go for Nokia. Had a Nokia that fell into some oil and worked properly...after some dismantling, but then again that was the same phone I had to take in 3 times because it kept going blank. But that was before the oil

Hello everybody,

1 month ago I flashed my desire with evervolv ICS, worked perfectly.

Two weeks ago, the phone got stuck in facebookapp. No button reacted.

I pulled out my battery and replaced it.

Since then my desire does not react on any button or any kind of connection, usb, charging nothing.

Does anybody know what is wrong?

My phone is fully rooted etc etc.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Can you boot into fastboot/hboot?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jupu1973:
No it does not boot at all.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muellersmattes:
If you replaced your battery, maybe the new one is broken. Try the old one.

If you mean "I took it out and put it back in", and it doesn't boot at all, it may be a hardware related issue. Solution for this would be returning to htc for warranty.

[HTC Desire S] ysayita:
Hi,

I am trying to change my rom using CWM. I made my phone S-off. Than installed CWM. While trying to wipe all user data before rom install, it stuck. So I took the battery off. Now it gives error in CWM screen:

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

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

So I read a bit and tried to format the cache partition from mounts and storage section. It gives

Error formatting /cache!

message.

I can go into fastboot, CWM and hboot.

I can install rom zip from sdcard.

I have a backup created with CWM.

I can't boot into Android, I can't restore my backup.

I tried to push recovery again using fastboot but it freezes there too.

I used recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-saga.img file while installing CWM on the first place. Now it is the installed one.

I have SDK and tools like adb and fastboot.

Please help!
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
1. Download Android Flasher to your PC

2. Download 4EXT Recovery image

3. Reboot the phone to bootloader (there should be FASBOOT USB written somewhere on the screen)

4. Flash the image with the Android flasher (check the "already in fastboot" box)

5. Wipe all partitions and try to install a custom ROM

If not working see the "before eMMC replacement" guide in my signature
[HTC Desire S] ysayita:
Thank you very much for your detailed and quick response. I really appreciate it

I did what you told but, android flasher froze so I shut it down. After that I went to the topic on your signature and checked if the emmc is fried but it is not and responding well. Then I went to the post that is about the partition size. I ran

cat /proc/mtd

command in adb shell and got no partitions listed at all.

Now what should I do?

Again I can not install the recovery you mentioned. Is there anything that I can do with CWM which is already installed and working?

Also as far as I read from other topics, some are mentioning about putting the PG88DIAG.zip file which hboot is searching for in the bootloader startup to the phone and making it un rooted and re root it afterwards. But I could not find the zip file named PG88DIAG.zip so I could not try that. Is there anything you can say about it?

Regards;

y.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Freezing during fastboot command execution is not a good sign at all. Nevertheless if the eMMC check is stating that your card is initializing properly then you should be able to restore your phone.

Desire S in not mounting in /mnt so you cannot see partitions there

Rename the image from my previous post to recovery.img and try to flash it with fastboot (be sure that you have your serial as output of the "fastboot devices" command): fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

If not working go through the eMMC guide again - especially point 4. Note your hboot version - if it is the Revolutionary one you have to change it
[HTC Desire S] ysayita:
Again thank you.

I did the procedure from the fastboot directly as you told but when it sends the file and begins the write procedure, it freezes. So I went to the eMMC topic again to step 4 and tried to change the hboot version to 0.98.2000 from current 6.98.1002 which is revolutionary by the way. But in android flasher I have this log output

sending 'hboot' (1024 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.196s]
writing 'hboot'...
(bootloader) image update is bypassed!
OKAY [ 0.029s]
finished. total time: 0.225s

also in the screen I see

Can not roll back hboot version

message at the bottom in red.

So I tried to do it again with fastboot and in command prompt I wrote

fastboot flash bootloader <img file>

but this time I got this output

fastboot flash bootloader ..\hboot_0.98.000
0_361a7ba6_0310.img
sending 'bootloader' (1024 KB)... OKAY [ 0.197s]
writing 'bootloader'... FAILED (remote: partition does not exist!)
finished. total time: 0.222s

Then I renamed the zip file to PG88DIAG.zip and pushed it to /sdcard/ using adb. After rebooting hboot, it asked if I wanted to start the update and I chose yes. But again at the end it gave the same message with the android flash:

Can not roll back hboot version

at the bottom in red.

I can not change hboot version to the required 0.98.2000 version with the methods mentioned.

Is there anything else I can do?
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
The proper command is

fastboot flash hboot hboot.img

but this is what the Andorid FLasher did

try the following: boot to Recovery, connect to PC, copy the hboot.img file to your SDcard, open command prompt and type:

adb devices [I](your device serial number should be displayed)[/I]
adb shell [I](there should be a command prompt with the # symbol in front if not type "su" without the quotes)[/I]
dd if=/sdcard/hboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18[I][/I]

if not working try to unmount/mount the SDcard:

adb devices [I](your device serial number should be displayed)[/I]
adb shell [I](there should be a command prompt with the # symbol in front if not type "su" without the quotes)[/I]
umount /sdcard [I](not a typo the command is umount, not u[B]N[/B]mount)[/I]
mount /sdcard
dd if=/sdcard/hboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18[I][/I]
[HTC Desire S] ysayita:
I copied the file to the SDCard. Then in adb shell

~ # ls /sdcard/
ls /sdcard/
~ # umount /sdcard
umount /sdcard
umount: can't umount /sdcard: Invalid argument
~ # exit
exit

adb push ..\hboot.img /sdcard/
1627 KB/s (1048576 bytes in 0.629s)

adb shell
~ # ls sdcard
ls sdcard
hboot.img
~ # dd if=/sdcard/hboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
dd if=/sdcard/hboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
2048+0 records in
2048+0 records out
1048576 bytes (1.0MB) copied, 11.191921 seconds, 91.5KB/s
~ # reboot bootloader
reboot bootloader

It still has the same hboot.

After that;

fastboot flash hboot ..\hboot.img
sending 'hboot' (1024 KB)... OKAY [ 0.201s]
writing 'hboot'... INFOimage update is bypassed!
OKAY [ 0.028s]
finished. total time: 0.231s

Again result is same with AndroidFlasher or installing with zip file from hboot.

Can not roll back hboot version.

Is there a some kind of write protection? Is there a possibility of mmcblk0p18 not being the right partition section?

Again, thanks a lot!
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Yes there is a write protection and this is the reason why I always recommend to change it right after the S-OFF procedure.

Anyway search in the forum for hboot over alpharevx or 2.00.2002 and try them with dd. This is you only way to restore with RUU. But for me this is an indication of bad eMMC and I am surprised that you have positive output of the dmesg command. Also you can push the hboot.img to /data/temp and dd from there
[HTC Desire S] Jack_R1:
How about RUU-ing your way back to stock, re-rooting it, and restoring your backup? Assuming there is later RUU.exe with higher HBOOT version, compatible with your CID.

And when I say RUU-ing, I mean stock HTC RUU.exe, not Android Flasher.

And if RUU fails, you can be sure it's your eMMC...
[HTC Desire S] ysayita:
I found something that may be relevant. The problem is that, before dd'ing I need to get su rights so every guide I read requires to enter the su command and acquire those rights on before the dd command. But the problem is that, when I enter the adb shell, it seems that I already have the su rights (I have the # mark on the command line) and if I enter su again, it says it is not recognized. So could this be the reason why the partition seems to be overwritten and it is not, me not having su rights while dd'ing? If that's the case, how could make the su command work?

Thanks a lot.

Regards;

y.
[HTC Desire S] ysayita:
As far as I learned today, because that my bootloader is s-off'ed by revolutionary, the bootloader contained in RUU cannot overwrite it. So installing RUU without getting the stock bootloader with hboot 0.98 is not an option. But thanks anyway, any tiny bit of help is really precious.

Regards,

y.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:

[HTC Desire S] ysayita:
Now, I read from somewhere that /system should be mounted before dd'ing so I mounted it from recovery's mounts and storage menu. Than I tried to dd again and I got this output:

~ # dd if=/data/tmp/hboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
dd if=/data/tmp/hboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
dd: writing '/dev/block/mmcblk0p18': I/O error

So what can be the problem? Is it mean that chip is fried?

I got dmesg output again and it seems responding well:

[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Your eMMC is fine according to this command but it may be failed by another reason...

The first guide is pulled off but there is an attachment at the first post..try it as well as 2.00.2002

Mount data before "dd", not system, or mount them all. Try all possible combinations, because in general you should change the hboot first. You cannot proceed otherwise. Then take a look here, because you will not be able to find a RUU for your version.

You can try falshing hboot with a Goldcard as well
[HTC Desire S] ysayita:
I tried both and result is the same.

Also I mounted data and tried. Again same error with I/O.

When I try to mount /system first and then /data, I got error mounting /data. And when /data first and then /system, I got error mounting /system. So I could not try with both of them mounted.

I read about creating Goldcard but I can not get the CID with this code

cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid

So I can not move further in gold card creation.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Goldcard without device

Also wipe all and try a custom rom again
[HTC Desire S] ysayita:
I had a goldcard at last. Then I tried to install the RUU with goldcard in device. But it keeps freezing at rebooting bootloader phase.

So I tried to flash with fastboot again but result is as below:

sending 'hboot' (1024 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.185s]
writing 'hboot'...
(bootloader) image update is bypassed!
OKAY [ 0.029s]
finished. total time: 0.214s

And I get

Can not roll back hboot version

message again.

Then I tried putting P88IMG.zip to goldcard and tried to flash from there in hboot but again the same cannot rollback message appeared and froze.

So I went back to adb shell and tried dd'ing from /sdcard/hboot.img but I/O error persists.

So I am aware that I am running out of choices but, please keep suggesting.

Thanks,

y.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
This was mentioned at the first hboot link that I gave you. There is a problem sometimes with region specific or branded devices.

But honestly I have no idea why you cannot replace it via dd. Sorry, but out of suggestions

Maybe you should try at the Revolutionary freenode IRC channel - they are the experts in this field after all....
[HTC Desire S] ysayita:
Thank you for your deep interest and kind efforts, I really appreciate it. As you suggested, I contacted with the guys in Revolutionary freenode IRC channel and they helped me. But there were no solution for it right now. I am going to try my chance with HTC Service. Hope they can do something about it.

Regards;

y.
[HTC Desire S] ysayita:
After HTC Service

I am not sure if it was expressed correctly on the service output description, it says that mainboard of the phone has been changed. Problem seems to be solved now. Also guys in Revolutionary freenode IRC channel was complaining about saga being problematic with those kind of actions. Please read and think twice before acting with that phone.

Thanks a lot to this community.

Like every other GB ROM, it does have memory issues. ICS gives plenty of memory, as much as stock, but its still in beta stage. MiniCM7 is the best we've got.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ponext:
Yup, there's a lot of new ROM out there, but still got some bugs on it and likely something missing and we need to flash other zip file to fix it up.

just an idea

why dont you focus on stable GB rom for stock kernel?take minicm7pro as a base..and perfect it more (yep this rom is perfect, but do it more)..so that, new user come here, see you rom, download, n flash..(ofcourse they must have recovery first :D)..this my reasons

1. we already had a lot of gb rom using custom kernel, n new active one is x10mpteam, they doing great, so why do you want to make another?:D

2. we only had a couple rom using stock..and for x10mini, i dont see latest gb rom for stock, myb im wrong but after you done, you can port for them too..
