[HTC One S] Vauix:
Yes I ran a RUU prior to flashing this update, i didn't chance anything to the rom yet but to search for the OTA. it was the RUU_Ville_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.31.401.5_Radio_1.06es.50.02.31_10.09a.50.04L_release_275655_signed.exe

I thought about my supercid before I ran the RUU but i thought the worst thing that could happen was i could get a error that it couldn't flash it.

Its rather weird that some guys with supercid managed to flash it successfully. And i still think I saw some people with other cid's with bricked devices.
[HTC One S] arsenalfreak:
SuperCID too, previously Vodafone germany, unbranded an relocked ...
[HTC One S] rootrider:
I ran the OTA update twice on my supercid'd device successfully.

In opposite to what I could read here, my bootloader was unlocked before and still after the update.

The first time I ran the update I forgot to reflash stock recovery. The phone started updating and rebooted, but no changes had happened. After restoring stock recovery and downloading the update again, I successfully updated.

As I couldn't get root I restored Venom and downgraded my new hboot from 2.15 to 1.06.

Today I started a second try successfully without a glitch.

Basically I keep an untouched nandroid backup of every new rom installation on my local harddisk. This means in case of custom roms I do a nandroid before the first boot.

As this is not possible on stock recovery I change back to custom recovery after the first boot, doing my backup then. I'm just checking the needed boxes otherwise I only proceed during the setup - the complete customization is done afterwards.

In this case I restored a backup called 2012-08-23--08-18-16_htc_stock_2.31

Stock here means: No apps, no customizations, no nothing, simply: stock and supercid.

After that was done I restored apps with Titanium.

That's how it worked (pretty simple) Maybe this will help you find some reasons for what has happened to your devices.

Same problem here...

SuperCID
[HTC One S] v3n3:
All people here seem to have SuperCID, I have not.

I got my ville for about 7 months now and never had SuperCID.

I did it like everytime:

-Wiped everything ( Data / Cache / System )

-Flashed Stock Recovery

-Relocked

-Flashed 2.31 Europe RUU in Bootloader ( yes, that works but I guess noone knows :P )

-Downloaded 4.1.1 Update and let the Device do its magic

Now my phone is bricked.

Strange enough, a good friend of mine whos barely able to use its phone, got the same issue.

Im 100% sure he doesnt have any modifications done to his device.

Already tried the Ubricking-Tutorial but the Partitions just dont show up :-/
[HTC One S] muayyadf1:
I did the super CID, too. No my phone is dead. Won't even charge.

I tried to do Enumerating the partitions but could only find up to 3. No 4 or 12.

Please help :crying:

[HTC One S] mitch_55:
Is there some news?

Because I have, me too, bricked my phone after an update (OTA JB_Europe). Yet, my phone was not S-off when I flashed it.

Now, my phone doesn't boot, no led, no bootloader access, my PC can see QHSUSB_DLOAD but can't install drivers.

I have tried through Ubuntu, but I can't see it.

What can I do?

(Of course, It is no longer under warranty!.)

Thanks for your help.

Dang Guys I think I have the same problem.

A few days ago my phone started rebooting it self. In the last days the screen stayed blacked. I than waited for the battery to fuly drain and then I could boot it up again.

But since yesterday I flashed another rom which I always had Candykat latest. But after that one it would boot up anymore and it was impossible to get into recovery. When I tried that it rebooted and stayed black....

I now am in QSHUSB_DLOAD mode aswell when I connect it to my laptop.

I am superCID but I didnt flash any OTA only a custom rom. Can I get it back alive agian :D?

Brick HTC ONE S

Hello friends.

I have a problem after upgrading to JB.

HTC One (s4) Europe2.31.401.5 radio 1.06es].

TWRP v2.3.1.0 hboot 1.14.0002 REELOCKED

So in your example >>> the body of a RUU_Ville_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.31.401.5.exe

Loader was opened to the right of the root and rekoveri TWRP, SuperCID (units).

Received notification of the new firmware. Battery is 70% +.

What to do:

1. Closed the loader through mcOneSToolsXE 3.5.1

2. Reflash RUU_Ville_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.31.401.5.exe.

3. Received notification of the new firmware.

4. Start the installation.

5. The body has become a brick.

6. Set Ubunti - updated it.

7. Download the necessary files to the root folder.

8. In the terminal window, went through the root to the "Home" for breaching operations "instructions."

9. Brick sees Qualcomm, Inc. Gobi Wireless Modem (QDL mode).

10. In the second terminal window, I see / Dev / sda / dev/sda1 / dev/sda2 / dev/sda5 / dev/sda6 / dev/sda7 ... manipulation of the fishing ... 12 ... did not work ...

That you can recommend?

Thank you.
[HTC One S] muayyadf1:
Same here, after the firmware update the phone became a brick and I cannot even see the partitions.

I think somebody is screwing our phones. Not funny at all in christmas time.

I just hope we could fix the issue and not buy another phone.
[HTC One S] so88os:
it means that we are not alone, let's hope for the best.

I am confident that the experts will be able to XDA to solve this problem and help us too.:rolleyes:
[HTC One S] KeroG:
I've already decided to send it for service from HTC.
[HTC One S] Vauix:
Yea me aswell. I can't see the partitions either and can't simply pull it out of dload. I suspect the update corrupted our bootloader, but there is no way to know for sure at this point. There have been some cases on other phones devs managed to create a work around. But I don't that's even possible with s-on and locked bootloader.

From what i read on the internet most phones who cant be pulled out of dload (if it ends up there accidentally) they will replace the mainboard. Because it's either a corrupted boatloader or a hardware issue (wide variety from short circuit, charging/battery issues, or fried parts). I don't know if that's because of the man-hours or staff education on the local tech centers. But either way our warranty should cover it although the unlocking I guess. Though I'm not sure if our imei will pop up in a database from unlocking our bootloader via htc-dev.
[HTC One S] andryyyy:
Just send it in. Lucky me I got it well-insured. :)
[HTC One S] KeroG:
Tomorrow it takes the carrier, and will comment if finally falls under the warranty
[HTC One S] usaff22:
You should act dumb when taking it to the carrier.
[HTC One S] Vauix:
Not sure its dumb or smart... Just say it died suddenly (dunno about my carriers ota's...)
[HTC One S] usaff22:
Just say it was updating to the "new version" and suddenly turned off and won't go back on again.
[HTC One S] andryyyy:
I wouldn't even tell them you were upgrading. Just write them it doesn't turn on anymore.

Anyone else noticed the device flapping in its states before it reaches QDL mode?

Reset it from QDL, watch modules getting loaded, unloaded, loaded, unloaded .. until it (sometimes :P) comes back to QDL.

// If there is a developer out there with a very risky idea: Just let us know .. I don't care if it gets even more bricked ;P
[HTC One S] v3n3:
Add me to that list :P

Just sent HTC a VERY nice E-Mail, explaining why they suck and that I want a ****ING new Device.

Cant wait for their response tomorrow, might call my lawyer too, just in case they go the "OH, your device is unlocked" road.

[HTC One S] kamaslc:
same.. :/
[HTC One S] Vauix:
I think that chance is very slim. The know solutions are already tried. And without having access to the right partitions we have no chance on fixing it. We need a experienced developer with a bricked oneS to figure this out. Even if this can be arranged it will probably cost the dev a lot of time and effort, which sounds like a lot to ask for, certainly considered if its even possible to be fixed....

I'm sorry to say but the easiest solution at this moment is just to send it to repair, and hope our warranty covers it (else they will give you a price for the fix, if you than deny you only pay 30/50 euro for examination and shipment). I've send it in this morning, gona be a long 2 weeks with a nokia n97 :(
[HTC One S] adi4motion:
My One S is also dead (superCid) , I believe i was the 1st one who reported this problem in the jellybean speculation thread. Guys please let me know if you fix it in any way. I don't have warranty... if someone repairs it in a service center please let me know how much it took...

i call to HTC Poland and they say this is over of my warranty :(
[HTC One S] Zoide_:
But you could still pay them to fix it, right?
[HTC One S] kamaslc:
yes, but they give me phone number to they service and when i call there, they says 650 PLN (it's ~150 €) + 2x 20 PLN (40 PLN ~ 10 €) for send there and again to me... Guy from service says processor is burned, but i think it's not possible becouse my windows and linux see my phone ( like qhsusb_dload in windows, and like qualcomm in linux) and I'm thinking about sening phone to service... I have to pay for it ~240€. But repair it's more than half price.. :/

I will waiting, mby some ppl from forum try to fix it
[HTC One S] andryyyy:
I would send it in anyway, just write them "Does not boot anymore". I am pretty sure they will replace the board... :)
[HTC One S] kamaslc:
i would try, 10€ it's no problem, and I will wait for repair estimate then i think about repair

Good luck everyone !
[HTC One S] andryyyy:
Hmm, I can connect to my phone via QPST (some Qualcomm tool...)

First I needed to load it (not via PC, via socket!) .. After half an hour I connected it to my PC which found a new device, drivers:

http://isinux.de/QHSUSB_Drivers_(x64).zip

Seems like it unloads fast, even if it is bricked. :P

I installed it and then installed QPST:

http://isinux.de/QPST_2.7_378.zip

So I started QPST and was able to find my device. But I am new to this QPST stuff.

dc211 told me, "8960_msimage.mbn" and "MPRG8960.hex" (DL: www.sendspace.com/file/dk7hnt) could help us out here, they were leaked lately.

Any idea how to go on? :P

//edit: Ok. Now it starts "flapping" between different modes again. It also just returns in Download Mode to QPST, IF it returns. But just for like 20 seconds.

Maybe I destroyed it even more now. :D So what, new One S was sent to me today by insurance. :)
[HTC One S] v3n3:
I looked into it and it looks like there WOULD be nececssery tools for us to work with the Device there.

I installed the Driver (Luckily I have a x64 System too :P) and the Software, but I cant seem to get the Toolset to detect my Device :-/
[HTC One S] Zoide_:
How did you install the driver? Thanks
[HTC One S] you_eeeeeediot:
Extract the driver to a folder.

In windows Device Manager, right click the QHSD device that has the yellow exclamation and 'Update Driver'. Select the folder you extracted the driver to, accept warning from OS about unsigned driver... you'll then find the device listed under Ports (COM & LPT).

Fire up QPST configuration, then the Ports tab, then Add new port (bottom right).
[HTC One S] Zoide_:
How does the device show up for you under Device Manager? Mine appears as "Unknown device" under "Other devices", and it doesn't find any adequate drivers when I point it to the folder where I extracted QHSUSB_Drivers_(x64).zip.
[HTC One S] you_eeeeeediot:
Shows up under other devices as QHSUSB_DLOAD.
[HTC One S] Zoide_:
Ah, then I guess my phone is not in QHSUSB_DLOAD mode and this method won't work for me. Thanks anyway

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/HTC_Evo#Unlocking_And_Accessing_The_NV_Files

[edit] Unlocking And Accessing The NV FilesUse QPST 2.7.366 and the HTC Diag driver [1].

Dial ##3424# on your phone and plug it into your computer.

Open QPST Configuration and connect to the HTC COM port.

Open the EFS Explorer client using QPST Configuration

Make a folder called "open sesame door" in the root directory of the phone.

Restart your phone and connect to it again the same way. This time, the "nvm" folder will be unlocked in EFS Explorer.

remote possibility ??

ps I think that the attempts described in the first page may not work because the phone did not boot ...

I think that in this situation the phone locked asking us to load a boot to start
[HTC One S] you_eeeeeediot:
EFS explorer will not access a phone in Download Mode. It requires a phone in Diagnostic mode.

Thanks for the info though... if I ever get my Ville working again I might be doing some more experimenting. :good:

Based on what I have been reading, if a reload is necessary we may be SOL as the image we need would also contain the IMEI.... which I doubt anyone is going to want a copy of theirs getting out. I'm hoping a solution similar to this one is still possible http://unlimited.io/qhsusbdload.htm

I've attached a screenshot, essentially when you open EFS Explorer and connect the phone it goes nowhere, it immediately disconnects. I don't believe anything can be done with EFS while the phone is in download mode as it is waiting for instructions.

Thanks for the excellent find of information! Another advantage to a device with an sdcard I guess. :(

I hope I am wrong, but I don't think there are enough people affected by this to make it worthwhile for a knowledgeable dev -- especially given the popularity (or lack thereof) of our device. I'm going to check with HTC to see if my device is still under warranty and try to work that angle.
[HTC One S] gruptnt:
my phone is definitely out of warranty I also disassemble for disconnect the battery because if battery is low does not even allow download mode
[HTC One S] dc211:
You're on the right track. But what was posted was a solution just the general theory. There are still specifics that would need to be worked out, and like the post you linked says "if you dont understand then maybe wait."

An unbrick solution was working prior to this new type of brick we are seeing from the Jellybean update. People are working on it, but I know it must suck to have a brick.

Keep in mind that every At&t One X had to change to SuperCID in order to unlock their bootloader. When their JB OTA rolls out the bricks will roll in.
[HTC One S] adi4motion:
I will also try to see if my phone is still under warranty if not, i found a service center in my city that can reflash my One S with JTAG... if no 'soft-ier' solution is found by then

an expensive brick if i may add
