[HTC Desire S] Patutz:
Good day ...

im having a problem with my desire s, i bought it 2 days ago with the same problem when i bought it, its already with the problem when i bought it..

it is priced low so i bought it from a guy being tempted thinking i could fix it or its just a software problem, but unfortunately i got no luck fixing it,

i can get it to bootloader (power+volume down) but i cant seem to enter the recovery from the menu and it is not charging. Tried flashing new recovery but still no luck tried installing RUU but i get an error 155 rom update utility cannot update your android phone.... The weird thing is when i try to charge the phone on wall, it enters CWM and i tried to format cache, do factory reset but theres an error unable to mount sd something like that... And my phone cant be detected using adb cause i think usb debugging is not enabled before it got bootloop, but with fastboot it can be detected...

Here is the detail of my phone:

Can someone tell me what RUU should i use..

THANKS IN ADVANCE GUYS :crying:
[HTC Desire S] Jack_R1:
To run RUU you need to relock your bootloader.

Google and INDEX thread can tell you everything else.

(well, they could have saved me this post too, if you'd run a simple search for "error 155").
[HTC Desire S] Patutz:
i have manage to install the ICS RUU, but sad to say still having a boot loop and still unable to go to recovery...

now i think the problem is with fired emmc chip? i hope its not :crying:

i cant seem to follow this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1284196 due to not able to detect my phone in adb commands.. is there a way for my phone to be detected in adb?? whenever i typed in adb shell i get an error:device not found

another noob question and im sorry for it, if i have a fried emmc chip, will i still be able to boot it in bootloader???
[HTC Desire S] Jericoacoara:
Sure you already tried another SD Card!?
[HTC Desire S] Patutz:
i dont think it pertains to the external sd, i think its on internal... well can u tell me how can my computer detect my device via adb??.. im thinking about the fried emmc.. but cant seem to know if its with the emmc issue since my device cant be detected via adb...:confused:
[HTC Desire S] TheLegendGZ:
If you are stuck into boot loop you can follow this guide http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21569470&postcount=957 to get logcat information...
[HTC Desire S] Patutz:
the problem is whenever i type adb devices i get an error no device =(
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
First you made a mistake to flash the ICS RUU, because you could have easily check the eMMC from CWM via adb. Now you cannot.

At your current state you can go into the Recovery by choosing it from the bootloader menu, pressing Volume UP + Power when you see a black screen with an exclamation mark. But there is nothing you can do there...

And finally - since your RUU flash was successful and you still cannot boot to the OS the conclusion is obvious - you have wasted your money. Sorry about that
[HTC Desire S] Patutz:
i cant enter recovery from the very beginning, i tried volume up + power but i cant see a black screen with exclamation mark..cant i flash gingerbread RUU anymore to downgrade it?

so i do have fried eMMc? :crying:
[HTC Desire S] Jack_R1:
You might not have ADB drivers properly installed. If you managed to install RUU, it means your USB port is working and eMMC is likely functional.

Enter the bootloader (Power+VolDown).

Select "RECOVERY" by VolDown/VolUp and press Power.

This should get you to recovery.
[HTC Desire S] Patutz:
i cant enter recovery i tried power+voldown then i select RECOVERY.

but it just go to HTC logo colored green and white background, then after that it shut off, it doesnt go to recovery...and regarding the adb, i try in cmd to type adb then i get all the menu of adb, so i think the adb is installed properly?? by the way, are adb drivers the one included on this link? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1272595 i just put the extracted zip file on C drive and i didnt do "setx path /m "%PATH%;C:\android-tools" this command i just type in cmd cd C:\android-tools am i doin it wrong?
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
You are not doing anything wrong.

The device can be detected by ADB only in a Custom Recovery or a fully booted OS with enabled USB debugging.

It cannot work in a bootloader, Stock Recovery or a bootloop with a secured (Stock) kernel.

The FASBOOT executable works in the bootloader in a "FASTBOOT USB" mode, but there is not much you can do with it, especially with the Stock hboot.

But what Jack_R1 said makes me wonder about your RUU flash. Are you completely sure that it went without errors? Because this cannot happen if your /system or /data partition is corrupted (so called fried eMMC). Moreover if it went fine the Stock recovery should be there and accessible.
[HTC Desire S] Patutz:
i tried installing the 4ext recovery and i flashed it ok but still cant get to recovery...i cant access adb since it wont be detected by the computer and i cant s-off my phone since i need to adb push...

yeah im sure that it went smooth, no errors at all, after the installation on RUU its says congratulation upgrade complete you can now use your device something like that haha not sure whats the exact words used there haha wait im goin to RUU again just to be sure that theres no error :fingers-crossed:

Here's the exact thing written on RUU... Congratulations! Your ROM update has been completed. Your Android phone is now ready for use..

hmm do you think even with that notice i can still get error during the update??? and by the way is it normal around 17% during the RUU installation after the "updating radio" around 17% it reboots then on the RUU it says waiting for device, is it normal?
[HTC Desire S] Patutz:
i have a great news for me hehe i hope so, i made some new findings on my device,

1st of all i made it to the recovery but the wierd thing is i can only go to recovery when i plugged my phone on the computer, now adb can detect my phone

2nd by following this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1284196&nocache=1 for the checking of Fried eMMc, i was able to get this result:

[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Something is very wrong here. And I think that your lack of understanding is a reason for the crappy explanation you are giving here.

You have a custom recovery. How come?
[HTC Desire S] Jack_R1:
Charge/change your battery, see if anything changes.

His RUU flash obviously didn't work. Not even sure what he's flashing.
[HTC Desire S] Patutz:
i flashed this one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1484753 thats how i get the recovery , sorry for the explanations im just being excited hoping id still get a chance to fix this phone :o

im flashing this RUU_SAGA_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_14.01.401.2_Radio_20.76.30.0835_3831.19.00.110_release_275068_signed got it from htcdev... ican i downgrade to gingerbread? can u tell me which RUU should i use?
[HTC Desire S] jugg1es:
I'm not as knowledgeable as people helping you here, but if it was me is start from scratch and i mean from scratch. Fresh install of everything, drivers etc. I'd then flash a custom rom and seeing as your not s-off. Flash the kernel. Then if its ok is maybe try a fresh download of the ruu and run that.

"Do, or do not. There is no 'try'."

- Yoda
[HTC Desire S] Jack_R1:
You can downgrade, but not by a simple RUU flash.

RUU flash doesn't work when bootloader is unlocked.

I'm tired. Read instead of asking.
[HTC Desire S] Patutz:
can i use any ics kernel??... the bad news is that not whenever i try the same method yesterday when i can enter recovery by putting my phone on pc, now it just loop on recovery when i plugged it in computer, it just enter recovery then shut it self then enter recovery again..

i relocked my bootloader whenever i flash RUU but i get error that its not the right RUU, the only one that i got success in flashing RUU was the one iposted abaove... thats why im asking you guys if you know any compatible RUU for my device cause ive tried alot and still get incompatability
[HTC One S] thecyancow:
Hey All,

I recently tried rooting my HTC One S (s3) and have had a few problems.

1. Unlocked bootloader successfully, flashed TWRP 2.3.1.0 successfully but won't mount to USB or won't mount sdcard or storage when I try and flash a ROM.

E:Unable to mount '/sdcard'

E:Unable to mount 'storage'

Or when I mount USB my computer's asking to format the device.

2. I lost my OS (I had Android 4.0.3 and Sense 4.0) and pretty much can't use my phone as a phone. Tried looking for the right RUU but none of them fit my device.

[HTC One S] Darknites:
Did you install the S3 version of TWRP? If you have and didn't get to flash a rom then you need to flash stock recovery then factory reset in bootloader.
[HTC One S] thecyancow:
Yes I do have the S3 version but I can't flash any ROM plus I don't have the stock one.
[HTC One S] thecyancow:
Half Done

I managed to flash the stock rom, now what?
[HTC One S] Darknites:
So is SD working now then since you said it didn't let you flash a rom or did you mean recovery? I see you was looking for that so I go with that, so what you need to do is hold Vol- when turning the phone on and it should load the bootloader, from there you should see factory reset select it and after it's done it's thing everything should be working.
[HTC One S] thecyancow:
mount sdcard: Working

mount USB: Working

flash rom: Working

reboot doesn't seem to launch rom, after flashing rom and saying successful I reboot and it goes to the HTC Development screen and loops every 2 minutes or so.

You need to fastboot boot.img file thats in the rom zip.

[Nokia Lumia 800] cybermiguel:
Hi, guys. I've got a Lumia 710 with Windows Phone 7.8 and I want to know if there is any registry hack (or something like that) that makes the OS recognise my MVNO as a local operator and not a roaming one.

For information, I'm using chilean Virgin Mobile, which works using the Movistar Chile networks.

I know there was a trick on android, making it believe it was a local network and not roaming by checking the option labelled "national roaming".

Can it be done?
[Nokia Lumia 800] shamreez:
Hi,

Even I would love to know if this is possible,

I am using by Lumia on Lyca network in dublin (The phone was an Orange one from UK which was later unlocked by Orange itself)

It shows the triangle shwoing I am in roaming mode when I am usign the local lyca sim

It kind of drives me nuts. It would be great if someone could help in this.
[Nokia Lumia 800] FunkTrooper:
I use Tesco Mobile in Ireland. You get the roaming triangle on all Windows Phones on this network.
[Nokia Lumia 800] shamreez:
Yeah even TESCO is an MVNO like Lyca. Need to check with someone having O2 or Vodaphone in Ireland
[Nokia Lumia 800] FunkTrooper:
I can confirm that the triangle does *not* appear on O2 or Vodafone in Ireland. It's only when you use an MVNO like Tesco or Lyca.
[Nokia Lumia 800] cybermiguel:
Yeah, but how can you get rid of that triangle? I mean, it's really annoying and I'm not roaming. :S
[Nokia Lumia 800] shamreez:
Do let me also know if you find a solution as it is really annoying to me too.
[Nokia Lumia 800] cybermiguel:
Guys, I found a solution for this problem. I'll post it in the "Windows Phine 7 Development" forum here on xda, so everyone can use it. I'll paste the link as soon as I post it

So we have had unofficial versions of jellybean for a while now. All the way back to the jbx think tank. Now I hear there is a possibility for a Jellybean update(POSSIBLE. Please don't spam this thread saying "Jellybean never! Muahaha! And ect.) now that firmware has been finally certified for the first time in many months! Now let's get discussing! :beer: What are your thoughts on these things? Not just an official update but Jellybean in general.
[Xperia Play General] Spatinator:
They might release jellybean 4.1 (or 4.2 because theyre a bit late :) )

Because it has better performance and they already had some full ics builds

But i think itll last some time until theyre out

I expect a good performance because theyre getting paid for this stuff.

[Xperia Play General] srelyt:
Sorry but I don't think an official jellybean update will happen. They just announced their update plans concerning jellybean and some newer and more powerful devices ( arc s for example) won't be updated. More info on xperiablog.net.

So the new firmware might be for a superlate ICS update or just nothing really.

But I don't care because xda devs have made an amazing job to bring jellybean to our devices. Cosmicdan, cj360, farenheith and all the others, you guys worked very hard to get the most of this abandoned phone. Many devs naturally moved on to other devices, but you stayed for this very special and unique device which did not receive the official support it deserved.

So thank you guys, I won t be buying another Sony phone before long I think because of their catastrophic update policy ( and it doesnt seem it gets better), but you made me and still make me very happy with my phone.
[Xperia Play General] |SavageD|:
You think sony's update policy is bad? You should see Nokia's, they are notorious for abandoning devices within months of their release. Probably why they've all but disappeared from the cellphone competition. Coming from Nokia handset's, N-gage, N900 etc, I'd say sony is a God Send.
[Xperia Play General] eksasol:
Actually from my experience they are all bad in term of updates. I can only recommend Google Nexus devices, although Samsung devices come close because they don't lock their bootloaders, if it is, its usually Verizon or ATT.

For now I will only buy a Nexus device or an Xperia Play 2.

I am coming from iPhone 4, I have 3 android tablet so I am familiar with android. I was waiting for the Nexus 4 but decided to get Xperia instead. I was surprised at how cheap it is, I just bought it for $90 unlocked GSM. Its a tremendous value. I want to use it for emulation.

Anyways, I have spent the past few hours reading this forum trying to come up with a play of what to do when I comes in. I want to put ICS or Jelly Bean on it mainly because I want to have the virtual back and home buttons. I would appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction.
[Xperia Play General] Dany XP:
If u want emulation, remember that FPSe and Mupen64 got touchpad support ONLY on ICS and +.

So just flash last CM9.1 FXP 152 + farenheit fix and you're done.

Unfortunely, JB is still no go for us, because touchpad causes lag, nobody knows the reason. Except touchpad, JB is 100% funcional tough..

I tried others like SlimBean but it was too buggy and the gapps kept failing on me.

Yes you can. You just need to flash a metro prl to your phone, and then contact them. They should be able to do the rest ota. You can get a metro prl here http://www.corolada.com/prl/. If on a stock rom you can flash it with epst, if not you need to use a pc program called QPST.

Well update, i went to gingerbread and changed the prl but i dont think my number got transfered although the metropcs system works

Any help with this?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
Simply changing the prl will not program your phone. The prl meerly allows metro to comunicate with the phone. Im not sure exactly how metros system works. Do you already have an account and number from metro, and is the phones meid registered on metro? If it is you can probably dial *228 and select the option to program if metro uses this option. If you dont have an accout or your phone isnt registered with metro, you will need to call them and do so. You just give them the phones meid they register it, and then program the phone ota (over the air).
