No, the signal is a big problem, and S-Off'ing bricks it. Easy enough to unbrick by S-ON'ing though.

Signal and Data are both problematic. Data is -sllllllooooowww- and signal just bounces in and out for no reason, and occasionally signal just goes away for long periods of time. For a couple days, no signal at all.

Got my new replacement from T-Mob on Friday, it's been fine 100%.

Sending back my 'busted' one tomorrow.

EDIT: One thing I don't think I tried (but may have) was flashing a new radio with all the extra partitions... maybe this will fix the data/signal problem?

Right now my problem is the soldering equipment /rework equipment.

;) it's not the skill
[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:
Actually i am kinda p***d off because we won't get the free JIG and multi-com is not very fast with keeping up to their promises.

Apparently, they wanted to start production as soon as they have a board, which apparently they do have now since a while but the JIG is still not in their shop.

I must admit that despite trusting your skills, Tec, i don't like the idea of soldering to Cellphone mainboards. They are very delicate to say the least.

But oh well... if you can get hold of a decent SMD solder station or whatever you need for that, that would be brilliant. Just don't you ever dare working on MY phone with an ancient 3 square millimeter solder iron lol.

I've got a station which can adjust temperatures in 1-degree steps but i lack the tips. I only have a normal electronic tip which is too big to use on microscopic parts. It was a cheap deal at conrad electronics and the Tip can't be exchanged. Didn't realize back then how bad that is.

[EDIT]

I contacted Multi-Com.pl last week and they said they have the JIG Production finished by the end of the week and we can order soon. I guess next week the JIG will be on its way... hopefully...

[HTC One S] Tecardo:

10€. waiting for multi com jig for best results. It's cause of the need of soldering the cables to the main board without jig

Quick question, i've downgraded the hboot butt i've must have done somethig wrong and i think it's the last file the it has to be hex edited, because i'm not able to unlock it with htcdev, phone works very well, i've flashed the phone with the jb ruu butt have the same problem ( error 150 when confirming the token ) so my question is if the phone can be re flashed with the riffbox to it's original setting or if it can bee unlocked another way.

Thanx in advance
[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:
AW: Unbrick Project (RiffBox JTAG)

yeah you can supercid your phone without unlock if you're rooted somehow.

If you're scid I've heard there's a way to S-OFF then now, but don't know if you need recovery for that. If not, you can do that and then just flash any partition like that.

[HTC One S] flex420:
AW: Unbrick Project (RiffBox JTAG)

You dont need a recovery for that. Only supercid and root. You Flash the stuff via fastboot commands. Pretty simple, tooked me about 20 Min. But never used adb before. So the s-off process Only takes 5 min, the Rest time is to read how it all workes :)

Now that we have s-off, i hope the Phone will dualboot someday like the hd2.
[HTC One S] alexskin:
i'm not rooted, can't do supercid, can't unlock, can't do nothing, just use the phone normally, that's why i want to flash it with the riff, so i can begin installing rom's again

I have Pre-paid so me calling and having them send me a replacement is out of the question. So I guess ill wait for JTag
[HTC One S] joemanbui:
you had to pay $92 for a replacement? I guess my phone is done then.
[HTC One S] Tecardo:
I can't se where he mentioned money...
[HTC One S] joemanbui:
If this post is correct, he mentioned a $92 fee. Tecardo, were you able to figure out the problem with the partitions?
[HTC One S] Tecardo:
Not yet. No problems seen

Didn't looked at all yet
[HTC One S] nashwing:
T-mobile mentioned to me that -IF- they find any problems with the phone, such as user damage, water damage, other damage, they -may- assess a $92 'out of warranty' charge.

So, at worst, (since my phone was opened and the VOID sticker removed) -if- they see it, they will assess me a $92 fee... So, we'll see. $92 is still cheaper than a new phone for me.
[HTC One S] joemanbui:
If that's the case, I think I might just send my phone in and sell it. This phone is causing too many problems right now. The support has been phenomenal though, Thank you everyone! :good:
[HTC One S] Tecardo:
Ok. You can get an htc one :)
[HTC One S] joemanbui:
haha maybe not yet! I could confirm that the jtag revived my phone to perfect working condition. The only thing it can't do is s-off but the hboot is 1.06 so i think that's good enough.

I actually got the phone to work (kinda). My phone signal is now really random and doesn't seem to want to stay connected. This all started from doing a firmware upgrade manually. Now if i try to push anything that way i get an error (no matter what).

Sounds like someone else did the same thing i did. I was s-off and supercid then did the 2.15 update manually. Since then i've had nothing but problems.
[HTC One S] rc420head:
I hear a lot of people say this but I'm S-off Cid 11111111 and manually did firmware update without issue. I still think those that are having problems after manually doing firmware update did something wrong during the process.

Also do you have a htc branded or t-mobile branded? I'm t-mobile branded and there is two different firmwares out there as far as I know. One for htc and one for t-mobile.

I have bricked mine trying to update the firmware following this guide but being stupid enough to update to superCID in the middle. (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2322755).

Now there is nothing but a black screen and no LED while charging.

Is this something you can fix?

Yeah. I stay in India where 0 works fine for me. For you, if din't turn up with 0, set it to 2.

Super-CID, S-Off, Hboot 2.15 (coming from 1.06), 3.4 Kernel and CyanogenMod 10.2 with Android 4.3 and everything was working fine for 24 hours...and suddenly just the black screen...

Hi everyone:

Recently I have hardbricked my HTC One S...

I was updating the firmware (via http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2322755) I used the "fastboot flash zip firmware.zip" command.

MSDOS window said it was finished...And I saw that the progress bar on my phone stopped and I forced the reboot ("fastboot reboot") as the guide says it doesn't reboot by itself.

After that I had a black screen, nothing more... no hboot, no adb, no fastboot... NOTHING :eek:

In windows there is the QHUSB_DLOAD device.

I have tried Live Linux and there's nothing in the sdX12...

So... Is there anything I can do?

Thanks in advance :)
[HTC One S] Loreane Van Daal:
what info do you need? I was a minute ago at his place and he told me that did reparation, but only without battery. When battery is in place riff don't see device so he has to leave it without battery for a while, than riff sees device. After reparation, a day or so, device goes off, shutsdown or freezes and back to QHUSB_DLOAD mode. Any sugesstion?

Edit: he tested broadband chip and it's working properly.

Recently i got my oneS (s4 version, was super-cid and s-off) flash the MaximusHD 4.2.2 Sense 5 Rom, and did firmware upgrade.

Then my phone was not booting anymore.

After some tries, i got my phone boot again with s-on, but not using MaximusHD Rom.

However, i s-on my phone when i was running jb ruu.

So i'm unable to s-off again using facepalm method.

I tried Moonshine method, but no luck.

And my phone is working weird now, the signal is not stable, always got out of service, and power drain.

I'm thinking if i can flash it using jtag/riffbox to restore all the partition inside my phone.

Please advice.

What I don't unserstand is why the RUU you ran before make your phone S-ON..

If you're S-OFF and run a RUU your phone should keeps S-OFF :confused:

Other way : are you with 1.20 radio from MaximusHD ? Maybe flashing the 1.15 will solve your signal issues.

No access to bootloader (press power button for 10s -->blinking buttons<-- THEN power & vol- ) ?

You're experiencing the rcdata partition symptoms.

Reflash a working rcdata partition over your current one.

I resolved the issue on my phone with this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=46308487&postcount=106

You need to acquire the file from this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=46045168&postcount=1194

You can probably do this while s-on and in your recovery's adb shell.

Copy the rcdata image to your /sdcard/ and use the dd command to replace your current one. Reflash a radio and it should work again. Or upgrade to Maximus now that your rcdata is fixed.

Good luck. People really need to start seeing this rcdata problem. I'm seeing a lot of people resorting to S-ON on Maximus and it's just not the best approach.
