Nope - That was all the info they gave me... Football is looking for a RUU for we so fingers crossed.

Other option would be to wait til my Mrs is home (weekend) and use her DS, Luckily hers is Unrooted

and Stock so could use that to create a gold card...

Thanks for all your help guys

Greatly appreciated

FOOTBALL HAS PROVIDED ME WITH A LINK TO WHAT HE SAYS HE THIS CORRECT RUU FOR ME PHONE, DOWNLOADING AS WE SPEAK (FINGERS CROSSED)
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Hope it works out!

Trying to talk to HTC on live chat but everyone there seems to be dumber than a bag of bricks.
[HTC Desire S] dannyhoughton74:
Didn't work - As per conversation with football over PM as I have previously had ICS on my phone (Fallout) the released RUU's for the DS won't work until an official DS ICS ROM is released... Thing i'll be looking into this gold card method....

OK - It's confirmed, Gonna have to be goldcard method... anyone know anything on creating goldcard without phone before I start trawling the web?
[HTC Desire S] dannyhoughton74:
OK guys

Hoping someone can shed some light, I tried flashing several RUU's yesyerday, Most of them came back with (131 Customer ID Error) - However one of them is coming back with (132 - Signature error) can anyone shed any light on this one

Thanks

Thanks, however my SD card is fully formatted, I downloaded the RUU from a link football gave me yesterday (Thanks for the heads up on that), I've tried to re-download incase it was a corrupt download but no difference, Got no programmes running in background other than RUU and as mentioned my phone is actually stuck on the bootloader screen so cant do anything with it

Any other ideas?

Thanks

Quick question actually as I might be doing all this for nothing... The reason I am trying to return to stock is so I can return the handset to HTC for hardware repair....

Could I not just tell them that my handset is stuck on the bootloader screen after factory reset and won't boot... The handset is now "S-ON"... Will they know it was ever rooted as it is at the moment?

Thanks
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
If there is no Security Warning, then yeah, maybe. But you need to sound really stupid to them, like most of the people that go to them for such issues. Also, keep your SD Card to yourself.

Guys - I've seen on some forums that flashing the RUU using windows XP can help, can anyone confirm if this is or is not the case or if anyone has heard other similar stories

Anyone know of any possible way to re "S-OFF" and flash recovery from bootloader?? Is it possible??

Looks like the Nexus 7 suffers from screen burn aswell...

http://www.phonearena.com/news/Some...ms-pre-production-units-only-affected_id31888

Really bugging my on my Desire, I'm considering sending it in to HTC for repair...

But too much effort to S-ON, and when I get it back, downgrade the hboot etc...

Thoughts?
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
I've found it to be common on IPS displays. Hope they find a way to sort it out. Think I'll wait before buying the nexus.

My desire s has it as well. I've just learnt to deal with it
[HTC Desire S] dannyhoughton74:
Right, I think I've made a bit of progress.... I've managed to get rid of the security warning on my handset

All that the bootloader reads now is the following: -

SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-0.90.0000

RADIO-38.03.02.11_M

eMMC-boot

Mar 10 2011, 14:58:38

HBOOT

<VOL UP> to previous item

<VOL DOWN> to next item

<POWER> to select item

FASTBOOT

RECOVERY

FACTORY RESET

SIMLOCK

IMAGE CRC

If I played dumb with HTC and just told them I have tried factory reset and now it stays like this, Will they know from this that the phone was ever rooted or S-OFF, there is no sign of revolutionary, S-OFF or anything on there as far as I can see.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Probably not, so give it a try, what do you have to lose!? nothing?!

Also, can we get this OFF TOPIC thread back OFF TOPIC......

No offense but this issue should have had its own thread.

[HTC Desire S] dannyhoughton74:

[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
@oly, no you didn't miss anything, he was just speculating about the OTA. Although, we have a LOT to look forward to. Kernel3 source, M10 tools coming soon (for more full Sense 4 stuff), and of course, Jellybean. I saw a 10 minute video of Google Now and all it can do, and I'm quiet impressed. Though I'm not a huge fan voice actions, probably never will be.

Can any one help me guys?

My phone only boots to bootloader. I can't use revolutionary to s-off, I can't use HTCDev Unlock, i can't flash any RUU (as all RUUS i have are older than base 3.x which i had when i installed virtuous saga and corrupted my hboot).

My phone is useless now ... i wish if someone know where to get the latest RUU for desire S ... Virtuous Saga Rom came out without revealing the base RUU ...
[HTC Desire S] dannyhoughton74:
Hi - I'm in exactly the same boat. is your device still S-ON

[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Batman sure looks good, but unfortunately I haven't watched the previous installments, so I guess it would be a bit hard to catch along with the story! :)
[HTC Desire S] bronx:
imho the one and ONLY good Batman was original movie with Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson. Best Joker, great soundtrack (yeah, I kinda like Prince... :rolleyes: )
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
No way. I hate watching movies more than once but dark knight was one I could keep watching. This one will definitely have to be imax. Shame there isn't one close to me.

@Oly you're missing out!!!
[HTC Desire S] :
Oly you're missing out! The first two are very entertaining. Even if you just catch the dark night for Heath Ledger's joker. The Tim Burton original is still my favorite, but dark night is a close second. Long film though.

I worry about the third film. The guy playing bane is ok (watch Warrior) but he's got a very tough act to follow from Heath. Just hope Hollywood stay true to what Bane does. Then it'll be interesting at least.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:

The Dark Knight was one of the few films that actually left me feeling disturbed, but in a good way if it makes sense to you.

Either Heath Ledger was the greatest actor of his generation, or he was really insane. With all due respect for his memory, I'm going with the 2nd option. No one is that good...
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Yeah, it was a real shame he died after the movie.

[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
I'm a bit of a late-comer to this discussion - but +1 to all the guys' recommendations Oly. Despite having been a huge fan of the Batman comics when I was younger, I was hugely disappointed by the films that were released during the 90s. The were too 'comicky', whereas all the images I had in my mind were much darker, more sinister.

I loved 'Batman Begins' because it fitted in with what I expected from Batman - the portrayal of a man in internal conflict with his demons while trying to be the best he could. 'The Dark Knight' pushed this further, while developing more involvement with the other characters and villains. I am seriously looking forward to the new film.

If you haven't seen them, then you really should - at least give them a try as I doubt very much if you'll be disappointed.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Oh I will :D

I'll see if I can lend the Batman begins of my friend ;)

BTW, anyone notice blindndumb has been banned?!?! :eek:

Genuinely shocked. According to htc-phones he was sending abusive PMs. Does anyone have contact with him outside of XDA?

True multitasking. Attempting to fix my YLOD ps3 while on tapatalk!

Has anyone else settled down with flashing ROMs recently? If so, what have you settled with (for now)?
[HTC Desire S] dannyhoughton74:
Guys,

Some of you remember from a few pages back I was trying to "revert to stock" on my DS as it had developed a hardware fault and I had many issues doing this and getting a RUU to install, Firstly I wanted to point out that the issue with getting an RUU to install will be resolved when the official DS OTA is released. The issue come from installing virtuous saga ROM as this ROM uses the test base 3.04.401.1

If anyone has used this ROM they at present will not be able to revert to stock as there is no RUU currently available with a newer base (Other than the chinese OTA)

Secondly I wanted some advice, I took the chance and sent my handset to HTC anyway, They have sent me a repair bill for £109 :( but from what I can make out this is nothing to do with the software, It looks like the fault is with the LCM display and touch, Surely this is something that should be covered under warranty, Has anyone had such issues with HTC previously and how did you get round it if you did? Does anyone know if this should be covered under warranty?

Here is what HTC sent me

SAGA RTV SUB-ASSYTO82HLAMINATION,LCM+TOUCH = £50.95

AGA CHASSISPRE-ASSY,GENERICCOLOR,GENERICPROCESS,SAG = £8.46

LABOUR = £22.00

SHIPPING = £9.60

TAX = £18.20

TOTAL = £109.21 :(:(:(:(:(:(
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Wait, what did you tell them? Also did you send it to them without the battery like I said? My brother's device was S-OFF and HTC repaired it with no questions asked.
[HTC Desire S] dannyhoughton74:
Yeah sent it without the battery, SIM or SD card... Literally just the shell, Like I said I had completely removed revolutionary software and device was S-ON without any security warning...

Just played dumb when I phoned them and said my screen had stopped working so I had tried factory reset and now it stuck on this screen and wont boot up...
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
So if it's under warranty then what can they say?
[HTC Desire S] dannyhoughton74:
My thought exactly... But they have sent me the bill for £109 as previously posted. I'm confused by it to be honest mate, Surely if they've found a problem with the LCM display and touch then that it a warranty repairable part right?
[HTC Desire S] uqadwe:
I hope i understand corectly your post.

You are saying that if you flashed the Virtuous rom& firmware file there is no way to get back to stock & s-on?

If this is correct you are wrong.

I did use their rom as a daily driver for a long time, and decided to try to send the phone to warranty for some screen burn problems(hope they will take some actions, but i know it may well not be covered by warranty) so i returned to stock, and flashed a RUU after some good&hard reading.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Wtf, I just got offered a iPhone 4 practically brand new for £100 by a guy I just saw in town.

I used it, it's almost brand new, it's a real iPhone. But 100£??

Could it be stolen? He sounds foreign and comes from Poland or something.

Can I trust him??

100 pounds for am iPhone 4??
[HTC Desire S] dannyhoughton74:
It depends which Virtuous software you are referring to.. I am referring to virtuous SAGA, Please see below link. As you can see this is using the base from test keys 3.04.401.1.

What I am saying is that there is no way I could flash a new RUU after removing revolutionary and S-ON device.. it may be possible to do this before hand but not after, I followed the Un-root and S-ON Desire S video on YouTube posted by "desirefanatics", The install of the RUU fails as none of the RUU's currently available other than the Chinese OTA have a newer base version, Hope that makes sense. If you try you will either get CID or Signature Fails

At £100 it sounds too good to be true, I would think either stolen - Or possibly his that he would report stolen and have IMEI blocked anyway

the problem is though .... "It's Iphone".... don't bother ;)

Thanks guys, he's offered me an iPad 3 for 150£ and a MacBook and a few other stuff..

The iPhone seems to be working, there was phone signal, so I assume that the sim is working

Although it could just be someone else's sim card ... :rolleyes:
[HTC Desire S] uqadwe:
I am talking about the Virtuous Saga also.

Cid error - gold card?!?!

your problem was most likely regarding the miscversion that can be corrected also.

Believe me I made some experiments and I always found the solutions here
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Ah, wish I got that iPhone... :(
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
I got given one (the straight 4, not the 4S) by work recently and I don't like it. It does its job well enough I guess, but it just feels soulless. Perhaps if I owned it and could Jailbreak it I might feel differently, but I really don't get all the hype from the Apple fan-boys.
[HTC Desire S] UmairAhmad:
Haha f...
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
I have, over the last couple of days, had to replace both the digitizer and LCD on my DesireS after dropping it on a corner. Cost me £14.15 for the digitizer and £19.90 for the LCD - stripped, installed and working perfectly :angel:
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Yeah, I would definitely keep my DS though :p

The iPhone would be cool as a secondary device. I would use it as my PMP, and put all my media files on it, games (which android doesn't have).

The retina screen is also brilliant too. Sad to say, but sometimes I do like the way the iPhone just works out the box.

I agree that the thing sort of feels empty. Our family iPad feels like that to me. It's not personal, it's got loads of apps, and random stuff on it, so it doesn't feel like mine when I use it. It just feels like a shop model that you randomly use. Whereas my iPod touch has been jailbroken, so it's much more personalized.

Anyway, I am almost certain the iPhone was stolen now. It was in mint condition, working well, and only £100?! The guy seemed a bit suspicious too, and a little nervous...

He was also selling the ipad, MacBook etc at ridiculously cheap prices.

Just wondering, if I did end up buying it, could I get arrested and charged?
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
If the cops could show 'likely cause' that you suspected the stuff was stolen then you could get charged - although you would probably get away with a caution it still goes on your record. I wouldn't have risked the iPhone, but if the iPad 3 was the Wi-Fi only model then I might have gone for that - even if I'd just sold it on afterwards. I wouldn't take the chance on a device with an IMEI as they are too easy to trace, but a Wi-Fi only iPad would be able to 'disappear' fairly easily.

Probably a good idea to stop this now though - it's sailing a little close to the wind of XDA's rules :eek:
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Wow... Didn't know it could go this deep...

Thanks for letting me know Simon, glad my conscience stopped me from buying it in the end. I just had a bad feeling about it. Regretted it after, but now I feel much better! Don't wanna risk anything like that that could change my life...

Yeah, end of discussion :)

Next topic, anyone going anywhere exciting this Summer? :)
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Doubtful. The sad life of the divorced bloke :(

I don't know how many of you remember the stuff I was going through with Elizabeth a while back? She went back home to Romania and I didn't hear anything from her for a while - was getting worried, imagining the worst etc...

Turns out that even my mind couldn't imagine the worst after all. She has been in hospital more than she's been out. According to the doctors she left it way too long to go and get treatment and the prognosis is not good at all - very little chance that she's going to get through this.

Feels like I've been well and truly kicked in the b0ll0x by the universe and there's nothing I can do about it. Just wanted to let you guys know as a few of you had passed on messages of support before.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
I'm very sorry to hear that mate... :( hope you pull through well! is she going to come back here?

Hope she gets well soon, send my wishes :)
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Thanks mate - but the likelihood is that she won't be coming back. She's not exactly talking much to me, I think she just doesn't know what to say, but I don't expect to see her again. I keep hoping and praying (something I haven't done for a very long time) that the doctors are wrong, but ... you get the picture.

Enough depressing talk - suffice to say that I'm not sleeping much at the moment, hence why I'm on here so late most of the time. I need to get myself to the stage where I can't keep my eyes open or I just lie in bed unable to sleep.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Yeah, I wish I could say more, but that's all I can do :(

Just enjoy and cherish the best moments you had, and never forget them :)

Anyway, I'm guessing you're off, so good night!

Looks like I'm going to be away for the next 3 weeks :eek: longest I've been away from XDA!!

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Believe me mate, I will never forget the time we have had. She made me happier than anyone ever has before and taught me things about myself that I didn't know.

Are you going anywhere nice? Must be somewhere abroad if you're not going to be getting on here. It will be quiet round these parts without you - probably knock 25% off the post count, so maybe XDA will appreciate it :p
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Glad you will :) take it easy mate!

I'm going to Dubai, Malaysia and Hong Kong :D

Leaving on Monday, won't be back till 4th August :(

Lol, I definitely spend wayyyy too much time here!!

Actually, I'm probably lying here. I'm sure I WILL somehow find a way to get on XDA while I'm there. There should be a few wifi hotels around, and apparently the whole of Penang (in Malaysia) is a Wifi zone :eek:

Going to use Fallout there, camera is pretty much sorted apart from a few niggles, and I get the best ICS Sense experience from the best DS Dev :)

I will probably get annoyed when lowveld releases a new update, and I can't upgrade :(

Anyway, a loooong day of packing tomorrow and a early night, leaving at 3 in the morning on Monday! :eek:

- device could be stolen

imho ipad and macbook were additional info just to make You buy that iphone.
