i wonder if jtag can help to s-off a device? but i think no
[HTC One S] Basster:
Here is another bricked device.

O2___102 to SuperCID

What happend?

CM 10 with TWRP -> Stock recovery -> relock -> RUU_Ville_U_HTC_Europe_1.78.401.2_Radio_0.16.31501S.17_2_10.23.31501S.10L_release_258480_signed -> works!

First OTA Update to 4.0.4 -> works!

OTA Update to JB -> stuck in QHSUSB_DLOAD :(

German O2 Phone bought last year.

Already contacted the HTC support but didn't get an answer, yet.

Im going to keep you updated!
[HTC One S] neptuno92:
At the moment we know that in Germany there is a person that have resolved the brick but what can I do in Spain? I don't wanna send my phone 2000km away...
[HTC One S] andryyyy:
You just need to find someone with a RIFF JTAG Box, One S seems to be supported since ~Nov.

Try to search "HTC JTAG" in ebay or somewhere else. :)
[HTC One S] v3n3:
Someone german ?

Who ?
[HTC One S] andryyyy:
Either HTC service (Arvato seems to replace our bricked phones) or him.

UK unbrickers?

Hi,

Just wondering whether anyone knows of a repair shop in London which might be able to do a JTAG unbrick? Failing that, whether anyone has recommendations for a reputable mail-in service in the UK?

(I left the phone's USB cable connected to my PC while installing the JB OTA, and am now in the same boat as so many others:crying: Am Super CID as well but that seems not to be the cause of the brick...).

Thanks!
[HTC One S] Qs5:
I downgraded to 1.06 from ruu 2.35 (Tmobile hboot 1.14) and I'm on SUPERCID, I ran ruu 1.53 (Tmobile hboot 1.06 I believe) and when I get the update what should I change my CID to, to prevent bricking? I do not know my original CID.
[HTC One S] neptuno92:
Andry, do you know if Shark has done it with JTAG or it can be done by software?
[HTC One S] devshin:
Here is a guy that claims to do JTAG on HOS S4 in Germany for 30€

[HTC One S] Darknites:
Whats the point of downgrading and then updating? You can already flash radio and wifi stuff without the RUU.
[HTC One S] Tecardo:
Hello, can some one of you plaese send me his bricked One S? I live in Germany,so a german person would be good:

Contact me on tecardo@gmail.com or here on this forum.

If the device doesn't work anymore, i will send it back as it is, and also will send back if it works again: I WILL NOT START PHONE, NOR WILL I READ ANYTHING OR DO ANYTHING WITH YOUR PRIVATE DATA. You can get this with a letter if you want.

I only need a device with this error. I will wipe Phone if wanted.

Thanks.
[HTC One S] neptuno92:
I'm from Spain so it could cost me lot of money to send it to you. If someone can send his phone it will be fantastic. Tecardo is a very well known developer and in this moment I think that is the only person that will give us a solution leaving aside JTAG :)
[HTC One S] theguitarman94:
I bricked my phone doing something else but yet I still have the QHSUSB_DLOAD brick. My bootloader was unlocked and I had a custom recovery. Any ideas on how much It would cost me for this to be fixed by HTC?
[HTC One S] jujusito:
Look for jtag unbrick in your city, use Google,
[HTC One S] theguitarman94:
Going to send mine off to HTC and play dumb. I'll just say that my friend updated my phone and now it's dead. At least I'm s-on because on my old phone I was s-off and if that happened to my old phone there is no way they would repair it. if it costs more than £30 to be repaired then I'm screwed because I can;t afford it! Worth a try though considering it's just a brick.

Jtag Brick Repair

This guy seems legit.

[HTC One S] jujusito:
Every city has people Who repair phones, they have the machine for unbrick the phones.

Just Search on Google
[HTC One S] theguitarman94:
They definitely don't. Most phone shops know how to fix broken phones or unlock them but not unbrick as you have to know what you're doing to brick a phone anyway so hardly any "normal" users brick their phones. My city barely has anyone on xda let alone people that can unbrick a phone.
[HTC One S] adi4motion:
I've got mine fixed:) (by JTAG) ~30$
[HTC One S] bochocinco23:
Curious to know cuz I didn't see what to had tried in here but if your unlocked with custom recovery have you tried unbricking with the brick downgrade method? If so did it read your phone partitions?
[HTC One S] smokin901:
Same thing happened to wife's TMOUS One S after I manually tried to flash JB Firmware it is dead tried all three methods but no luck taking it to mobile technician ASAP to save myself from Wrath of Wife :(.
[HTC One S] theguitarman94:
The unbricking method bricked my phone! I was trying to downgrade my hboot. It did initially read my partitions but then they came corrupt and I can no longer write to my phone. The only option to me now is to send it into HTC and hope for the best.
[HTC One S] AKToronto:
I would be curious if people were to dd the partitions they do see when they connect their phones through QDL mode in the downgrade method... Does mmcblk0p4 come up in any way, even at the begining? ie sda4?

If someone were to dd the partitions they do have access to, then in a hex editor check to see if any one of those partitions correspond to mmcblk0p4 then there may be a way out.

If you had access to this partition, you could back it up, and then perhaps dd (or use the emmpc program like in the final steps of downgrade) to flash the killp4 partition (from the downgrade method too), then reset the phone again, and then go through the downgrade method to reflash your bootloader.

It may be however, than none of the partitions you can see are p4, so I dont know.

Also, if someone is interested in selling me their bricked phone, feel free to pm me... I am in the market for a new digitizer/screen (dont need the motherboard or other personal info). I have a slight scratch on my phone, no big deal, but i am curious. Especially if you were able to get a new one through insurance and dont know what to do with your old. Feel free to pm me.
[HTC One S] bochocinco23:
If you still have the phone download the jet evita package for downgrading hboot on the OneX. CD to the directory. Then chmod +x jet. In the next line type sudo /.jet -d

See what it says beyond that. That code is supposed to tell you where your partitions are located. For example mine says sde. Meaning my partitions are at sde12 and sde4
[HTC One S] andryyyy:
This does nothing special, took a look in it, just some bash scripting.

Our partitions are not shown.
[HTC One S] theguitarman94:
Hey thanks for your help but I downloaded the jet evita package and it just kept timing out. It couldn't read anything.
[HTC One S] bochocinco23:
It doesn't show partitions just tells you the location for sd* (sda,sdb,sdc,sdd or sde). Then you would not need to run ls dev/sd* from the manual method.
[HTC One S] theguitarman94:
My phone stopped showing up in qdl mode and it now only shows up as qualcomm. To me that seems like something has failed within the phone
[HTC One S] bochocinco23:
Mine did that but it was my computer...try a new copy of ubuntu. Either on live CD or wubi
[HTC One S] theguitarman94:
I've done that but it doesn't seem to make a difference
[HTC One S] AKToronto:
Theres also no linux commands you can use to reset so that it shows back up in QDL?

I also wonder, if you have access to the internals of your phone, if disconnecting and reconnecting your battery would help get back to qdl? Just another thought. Usually holding the power button long enough works, but anyways a manual hard reset like that could help. But you would need a case opener tool to help.
[HTC One S] bochocinco23:
Did you install correct libs? sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

Restart ubuntu and type sudo modprobe -r qcserial
[HTC One S] theguitarman94:
I will try that. I will also try charging the phone for an hour. Some people have reported that when a phone is in qhusb_dload mode you may need a bit of battery life in order for the system to let you write to it. It's worked for people with other HTC devices so I might try that
[HTC One S] bochocinco23:
Yeah since you have unlocked bootloader and custom recovery you should be able to do it which is why I'd look at other things preventing you rather than the phone...like fresh install of ubuntu...libs...adb etc. Let us know how it goes
[HTC One S] bochocinco23:
So your computer sees it initially in QDL mode correct? If so while its still showing QDL MODE run the jet program

cd jet

chmod +x jet

sudo ./jet -d

It doesn't require you to reset your phone so it may give you the partition location
[HTC One S] GamerGun:
Mine got fixed for free :) Working fine now after 2 weeks at Dynafix. Not a word about the SuperCID

Went to a mobile repair guy with RIFF box but he has option of only HTC one S with model # PJ4010000 which is international One S. will it work on PJ4011000 (T-mobile one s) ?
[HTC One S] kamaslc:
I think HOS PJ4011000 can be from t-mobile

http://www.unlocknews.eu/news/50407-ort-jtag-htc-ville-t-mobile-htc-one-s/ - this info from ORT JTAG (but number is the same)

I send my phone today to RIFF JTAG service for 70 PLN (~18€) in Poland - service in Cracow

I hope my phone will works after JTAG service
[HTC One S] smokin901:
It is from T-mobile but my confusion is will it work because after resurrecting MID will change to PJ401000.
[HTC One S] theguitarman94:
goodbye evidence
[HTC One S] neptuno92:
This is what I was thinking about... they won't have any evidence to ask us to pay! :P
[HTC One S] muayyadf1:
I got it today and it is like new! the bootloader shows locked not relocked which means I got new bootloader from scratch.
[HTC One S] SIGHY:
cd jet

chmod +x jet

sudo ./jet -d

is a linux command? or software?
[HTC One S] muayyadf1:
Linux, used in terminal. If you got your phone bricked by the update, you won't be able to fix it.

I gave up and sent the phone over to HTC, excellent customer service and they pretty much exceeded my wildest expectations.

You need to call their customer service first so they can issue RMA ticket for you.

HTC = :good:
[HTC One S] theguitarman94:
what did you say the problem was? they ask you to write a quick explanation of the fault don't they?
[HTC One S] :
Guys just wanted to know to things , if I change my cid to HTC-001 from t-mob10 will my devi get bricked when using the ota , and second question the T-Mobile USA users who supercided and flashed eu ruu WiFi did work after that ?
[HTC One S] cYraXx:
how about your storage? everythings deleted or still there?
[HTC One S] muayyadf1:
Unfotunately, that is the cost to pay to get the thing fixed.

---------- Post added at 08:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:49 PM ----------

I just told them the phone suddenly stopped working and not even charging. I initially contacted their support through htc.com and they gave me the number so they could give me some instruction trying to turn on the phone. Obviously, what they tried with me over the phone didn't work, so they issued a repair ticket and gave me the shipping address where the phone got fixed.
[HTC One S] theguitarman94:
that sucks
[HTC One S] cYraXx:
but if i send it to a dude with a riff jtag box, there is no data deleted. he only replaces the bootloader. htc also replaces the bootloader...
[HTC One S] jujusito:
In my case the data of sd is not lost when repairing by jtag.
[HTC One S] muayyadf1:
When they issued an RMA, I got an email with a repair tracking service. They don't update that until they get to work on the phone.

When the repair finished, I got am email for the completion of the repair along with fedex tracking number. I liked they way they packaged the phone in a box says "I'm back" and has a gift wrap drawings.:laugh:

---------- Post added at 03:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:17 AM ----------

That is because they reflash everything just to eliminate the unknown reason :angel:
[HTC One S] smokin901:
if you are talking about JB OTA with supercid it will sureshot brick it happened with me. incompetent htc service is unable to fix it.
[HTC One S] muayyadf1:
HTC houston did fix it to me.
[HTC One S] smokin901:
well they can but they won't. since my phone is from t-mobile warranty does not apply in india, so to repair hboot charges will be approx $20-$25 but to replace board charges will be $225 which has where service center get to keep any where from 60% to 70%. moreover to I can claim warranty only when I return which is not going to happen for next 6-7 month and by then my phone will be out of warranty.
[HTC One S] muayyadf1:
I think the warranty should be global. In any event, you could simply call HTC US by skype and mail the thing to them and tell them to send it to a relative once repaired. Should NOT be an issue.
[HTC One S] smokin901:
As per service center carrier branded phones do not have global warranty others do so I caught him there and asked him to replace motherboard and display on my tegra one x under warranty for WiFi reception and spotty display. Which he will have to now. :D
[HTC One S] Vauix:
I just received a brand new HTC One S from T-Mobile NL (although it was sticking half out of my mailbox for everyone to grab).... No comments of any kind why I got a new one or what has happened to my old device...

And if your wondering, I rooted that thing after the first boot (T-mobile crap I can't even disable? gtfo).

This was without insurance or additional warranty.
[HTC One S] theguitarman94:
cheese
[HTC One S] LibertyMonger:
I'm trying to read through all this mess but from what i gather so far it seems quite a few people were trying OTA update with supercid, I thought it was well understood that we cannot receive OTA updates with supercid? Anyway this is exactly what XDA is for, we want custom ROM's not OTA's lol. I sure hope everyone is getting sorted out and taken care of! I absolutely will not be trying any OTA as we have no reason for it.
[HTC One S] smokin901:
Got my wife's one S fixed by paying ~$35 so it back now immediately changed the cid to T-mob10 installed stock t-mo rom. now can someone confirm if I change the cid to htc__001 on t-mobile one s(PJ401100) and install stock EU ICS rom should I be successfully able to update to JB OTA or will it still brick the phone.

Has any one with T-mobile One s successfully updated to JB-OTA.
[HTC One S] adi4motion:
I would also want to know a answer to this question. I was on T-mob10, did superCID, recieved ota =. DEAD. Repaired my phone (jtag), changed cid to htc__001 and i'm not sure what will happen if i flash Europe Ruu and OTA update id. I have no reaseon for doing it now since I have JB from last update (that killed my phone) but... just in case i'll need to reflash...

Hello everyone, I followed the guide to downgrade hboot. so i created bricking and i followed procedure: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1990043

the problem is that once you have finished the proedure, the small light charge does not appear.

so I decided to repeat everything again, but when I connect the phone goes fastly into QDL mode and if I hold down the power button for more ten seconds, the written QDL disappears and reappears in a second (often blinks twice)

can i fix? I have the phone unusable for two days already.

thanks for the help that you give me hope.

Unbrick Project

Hi Guys,

i assume you have seen our little project to unbrick these dead phones for only a small contribution?

Check it out here if you wish: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2116062

Some very kind people helped getting the cash together for a RIFF box and currently my device's mainboard is underway to poland, multi-com.pl for them to make a JIG connector (they need a mainboard as molding sample). Once that gets back (might still take a week or two, so patience needed) Tecardo will be at your service to try to unbrick all these unlucky devices.

We hope to be of help to you.

My phone is BACK! Got it back in immaculate condition, it's come back better than it was before it went! I scratched the camera lense up really badly a couple months back and I could no longer use the camera but they've replaced pretty much everything on the phone and now the camera is perfect! So happy to be back on android. I had a windows phone 8x (HTC 8X) for nearly 4 weeks and my lord does windows phone suck! They have absolutely no apps it's laughable. The 8x is a lovely piece of hardware but I'm so so happy :D:D back on android where I belong

is there any way i re - lock the bootloader ?

I know for Xperia S its a easy thing ... Just flash the bootloader.ftf file and done but will it work with Xperia SL as well ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SĐF:
If i am sure Xperia S and Xperia SL are the same devices, only difference is Cpu clock(S-1.5 Ghz SL-1.7 Ghz) So i think its the same relock way as with Xperia S. :)

Have tried it or what?

Does it Worked or not?

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] abcdjdj:
I am pretty sure that the relocking ftf file over here works for S and SL - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1527159

Also, before you relock, just be sure to flash stock ics first with Flashtool and then flash the relocking ftf file.

Btw, you can still update to official JB with an unlocked bootloader. Once someone receives the update in his/her country, the ftf file will be made and released here for everyone. Also, Sony has their official Flashtool for unlocked bootloader devices.

Yes. You Can Flash Relock ftf. Both Are Same Device With Different Clock Speed.

It should not create any issue.

First Flash The ICS (Exclude TA in Options)

Then, Flash The FTF Relock (Include TA in options)

I am thinking of getting either a Nexus 7 or Nexus 10. I don't really want any other one because I love stock Android without any skins on top of it. It will be primarily for watching movies and tv shows on planes, in bed, in hotels and social networking. Nothing too big. I am fine with 16 GB but I think 8 GB will be too small. What do you think I should get? Or is there an alternative that looks a lot like stock Android? By that I mean does any other manufacturer have a custom skin that doesn't look blatantly obvious when using the device. Thanks and Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays!
[General Topics] Maustin96:
Anyone?
[General Topics] ROFLkopter:
If you're going to be using it for media then you'll want either the 32Gb or 16Gb version. The 8Gb will more than likely be too small for multiple movies, etc. It's a brilliant device though, I love mine.
