he can't enter fastboot mode as well as flashmode

and when he connects led turns red all time

if phone is alright then led gets green when battery is full

his device is not fully dead but cannot be recovered by using a usb cable or a flashtool which can be said as a hard bricked

the only way is to repair boot using flashing toolbox which can be done only in sony repair centre..

[Sony Xperia M] syedafzal.shah:
I connected my device in flashboot mode by holdig volume up button and the LED turned blue then I extracted the boot.img file from fxp 323 and flashed it by "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and it resulted " okay

, flashing boot

finished , total time 1.953s but when i disconnect the device and try to powewr onn the LED blinks 3 times in red and the device doesnt power on? what to do now?
[Sony Xperia M] syedafzal.shah:
and when i connect my device using volume down button, the led blinks in red and green colour just for a second and it goes off
[Sony Xperia M] ManzzaShahi:
first remove your battery from mobile for few minutes then insert again

then press and hold power on button for more than 10 seconds

then remove battery again from mobile and reinsert again and now try to connect to pc in flashboot mode

and flash full firmware wiping all cache and datas

if u can enter fastboot then u can access flashboot mode as well using volume down

try and report..

---------- Post added at 06:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:21 PM ----------

if led blinks green and off then you are in flashmode

so first make sure flashtool is running and your firmware is ready

press flash button in flashtool and flashtool will start preparing the files

when flashtool will say connect your device

then that time you hold volume down button and connect to pc

it will detect and start to flash

How to flash full firmware? can I install fxp323 using flashtool? how?
[Sony Xperia M] syedafzal.shah:
:D Where should i paste FXP 323? :rolleyes:
[Sony Xperia M] ManzzaShahi:
no you can't

first you need to flash stock xperia m 4.3 firmware from sony using flashtool

then you can boot your device properly

after that you can install custom kernel and flash fxp323 again:cyclops:
[Sony Xperia M] syedafzal.shah:
In flashmode its showing a lot of options.. what should I select and can I flash the whole FXP323 zip file?
[Sony Xperia M] syedafzal.shah:
where can I get that?

will this work? http://xperiafirmware.com/8-firmware/40-sony-xperia-m-c1905 and These links are not working and after downloading what should I select in flashmode? there are a lot of options
[Sony Xperia M] ManzzaShahi:
flashtool is meant to flash official stock ftf firmwares

zip files can be flashed in recovery mode only

so yes you download that firmware and flash it using flahtool

and instructions are given in that website in first post

---------- Post added at 06:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:47 PM ----------

Do anyone have some schematics for universal or Level 3 service manual?

I'm interested in adding a USBhost possibility for my Universal. I think that there are 1 or 3 unused USBhost connections that are not used there and the cpu is capable of.

If I will get some schematics I'm sure I'll be able to make a simple hardware mod to use even it's original connector.

I think that USB host is not hardware implemented just because they gave more attention to differ a charger from usb charging, so they used the only "free" pin to work with charger identification.

I'm not sure if some software components missing for that, but actually I will not care, I'll try with linux and hope that kernel will give me some info if some usb device connected.

Any help and ideas will be appreciated.

[Sony Xperia ZR] Dominus Taurus:
I personally tested the settings you describe, and 528:2 is definitely the best solution to this infamous problem.

In order to enhance this setting even further, I played around with the DEC4 and DEC7 volume levels and I found changing 'DEC4 1:66' to '1:56' and 'DEC7 1:68' to '1:58', markedly improved the audio recording quality in noisy environments. It is not crystal clear, but is much better than the 528:2 setting alone. A good option for concerts and alike.

This rom has screen tearing problem. ( I mean that screen gets black then get some color then goes black again) :rolleyes:

I have s6d driver and the problem is the same which teamj and rox 's rom has once.

Can anyone test this rom who has s6d?

didn't notice screen tearing.

but this rom should defly be tried. visuals are awesome.

edit 1: lockscreen doesn't work. does'nt recognize SIM card also. mobile network not available in Turkey.

edit 2: removed sim card and lockscreen worked like a charm. the problem is probably PIN code of sim card. PIN code screen may be bugged. i'll keep you posted.

edit 3: Eureka!!! Removed PIN code and both mobile network and lockscreen works like a charm. Nice ROMM!!!

edit 4: Using ROM in english is best way of stayiing away from some bugs like wallpaper selection bug.

Unfortunately I forgot to check if my phone is s off and it isn't. Now I flashed the rom and after I start the phone I only see the htc starting screen for a few seconds and then it turns black and flashes a little bit every 4-5 seconds.

Do you guys know how I can turn the device to s off and then flash it?

[HTC One S] tomlennart:
Thanks for the answer but the problem is that I can't start the phone to activate the developers mode or do anything else! It would have to be through fastboot or recovery! Also my computer doesn't recognize the phone, even though I was able to push something on the phone through adb sideload!
[HTC One S] 808phone:
Did you make a NANDROID backup with a custom recovery? If so, restore from that.
[HTC One S] tomlennart:
I didn't! :(
[HTC One S] 808phone:
What recovery do you have on there? You can flash a custom recovery on there like TWRP.

If you get TWRP on there, you can mount the sdcard and copy another ROM on there. Then do a full wipe and install the zip and then flash the boot.img to get something like CM11 on.

Alternately, you can relock your bootloader with fastboot usb, then install an RUU to bring it back to stock, then try something like moonshine.io to get S-OFF, then try maximusHD again.
[HTC One S] tomlennart:
I do have TWRP on there!

So, how does it work? I choose Mount, then which options do I pick? And does my computer automatically recognize the phone in the list of the connected devices or do I have to download a special program?

Which rom should I take and how exactly does it work? Is there a tutorial out there so you don't have to do all the work?

Thank you so much!!!
[HTC One S] 808phone:
So reboot into bootloader. First see what HBOOT you are on. It will determine what ROM you should try.

If you have 2.15 you go with ROMS that support 2.15. If 2.16 then go with something that supports 2.16.

As far as mounting, go into TRWP. Choose MOUNT and choose Internal Storage. This will allow you to mount the internal storage on your computer.
[HTC One S] tomlennart:
I guess mine is 2.13 right? I don't have enough posts to post pictures so please delete the space between https:// and the rest of the link!

Thanks for taking up with my stupidity!
[HTC One S] 808phone:
Someone chime in, but maybe you will want to upgrade your HBOOT to 2.15???

What is the carrier? Where are you located?

This _may_ be your RUU - don't run it until we know your carrier/location:

http://mobilefileserver.com/download.aspx?get=167185

PJ40IMG_Ville_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.16.401.9_Radio_1.15.50.05.29_10.30.50.08L_release_314432_signed

Running an RUU will get you back to stock. After that, you may want to upgrade your ROM so it's compatible with moonshine.io or other S-OFF application. Once you become S-OFF you are much more free to do many things to your phone.

BTW: in your picture data might be the the choice to try. Try and mount data and see if you see your files on there.
[HTC One S] tomlennart:
I'm using AT&T right now, but the phone doesn't have a simlock. My location is a little bit complicated, I'm in Wisconsin right now, but the phone is from Germany, and I'll go back to Germany in about two months.

How would I upgrade the HBOOT?

I hope you have fastboot installed on your computer (windows?) if not:

Hopefully it will return something.

[HTC One S] 808phone:
OK you said you had TWRP. Start up in recovery, go to mount and then select internal storage.

See if the sdcard partition mounts on your computer.

If so, at that point you can put a rom on there and also the boot.img that you need to start your phone up.
[HTC One S] tomlennart:
No, I can't mount the internal storage!

Somewhere I saw how to fix it before but I don't remember how and where I saw it!

[HTC One S] tomlennart:
Thank you!! It worked!

I can mount the sd card but the computer still doesn't recognize it. I got the android drivers installed. What's next?
[HTC One S] tivofool:
Your computer seems to recognize it, from when you did the fastboot devices and got a result.

Now you need to relock bootloader and run an RUU to get back to stock. Then you can proceed with moonshine or rumrunner to s-off.

Or

Install TWRP again and install a ROM, don't forget to fastboot flash the boot.img
[HTC One S] tomlennart:
Okay, I relocked the bootloader, but now it says ***RELOCKED*** and under it it says ****Security Warning*** I assume that's normal?

And don't I have to start up my phone to do the RUU?

Which RUU do I need? It's a German phone without any branding or simlock! Thank you so much for your help!!
[HTC One S] tivofool:
Yes, that is normal.

Yes, you can start your phone in boot loader mode and run the RUU, so you don't have to have a functioning ROM working.

Here is a Guide

http://androidforums.com/one-s-all-things-root/691874-guide-how-run-ruu-your-htc-one-s.html

about halfway down that page there are links to RUU's. Where it says "You can find some RUU's for the HTC One S here and here."

I'm guessing there is about a 30% chance you find a RUU for your phone since it is from Germany. Sorry. So I wouldn't waste too much time looking.

So once you have given up looking for an RUU just install a custom recovery, install a ROM and flash the boot.img.

[Tutorial]Root, Unlock, Recovery and flashing a Custom ROM

Just one problem now now. the phone says I only have 2GB left and the other 14GB are listet as "other" when I check settings->storage, but there is nothing on the phone. How can I fix this?
[HTC One S] tivofool:
If you are on maximus and are still S-On, I think this is what the storage looks like. That firmware that is required for that ROM changes the partitions so that all of it is usable.

You would need to flash a different rom made for 2.15 hboot.

If you were able to S-Off, then make sure the ROM.zip is in the SD card. Follow Maximus install instructions.

Install firmware

Install special TWRP

Reinstall Maximus.
[HTC One S] tomlennart:
Okay, what do you mean by "install firmware"? Maximus HD or a different one?

And special TWRP is the one in the all in one kit?
[HTC One S] tivofool:
If you are trying to use Maximus or a couple of the other ROMs that say 2.16 hboot needed, then you need to follow the install instructions exactly on the Maximus first page.

Where it says to put the rom.zip on your phone, install zip. Download firmware on pc and install onto phone. Download only the TWRP on Maximus install page and flash that. Then reflash Maximus ROM.zip while in twrp recovery.

Here is a copy and paste of those directions

____________________________________

Download ROM and put it on internal sdcard.

Put device in fastboot mode (Power + Volume Down)

Enter Recovery.

Find in Recovery "Choose zip from sdcard" choose appropriate zip file.

Proceed steps that Aroma installer gives.

After install finish you MUST reboot device in fastboot mode.

Now it's time to install 4.2.2 capable firmware.

Download Install package.rar (Archive stored in same folder as rom)

(Note that fastboot.exe not capable yet with Windows 8.1, you need Windows XP/Vista/7/8)

Connect device to PC and make sure you see lines Fastboot USB.

Extract Install package in any place on your PC.

Open folder, run Command Prompt, type there

1.fastboot oem rebootRUU

2.fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

If you get an error

FAILED (remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately)

type command once again

fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

fastboot flash recovery TWRP2.6.1.0.img

fastboot reboot

Make sure that installation was successful and press enter to reboot device.

Device will boot in system, wait till you can see device on PC and copy ROM on internal SD card once again.

Repeat ROM installation with Aroma installer, do wipe during install.

Congratulations, you have device with fully working Android 4.2.2 and Sense 5.0
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rezistrat:
So here's what happens. Occasionally after I flash roms my wifi acts up. It will connect to open networks just fine however when I try to connect to my work network using my User name and Pass word the wifi just says Saved,(and some other word can't remember). Needless to say I assumed this was something that happened after repeated rom flashes. So in any case I'd ODIN back to a stock and it would fix the problem ( I've actually soft bricked my phone many times trying to fix this at work).

Today I googled the problem for the hell of it: The solution was very easy (I take no credit for this), and I'd not read this on XDA so thought I'd share. When connecting to a wifi network that requires authentication, make sure you forget the network, instead of clicking on the network to add your information, touch the add network button and manually put in the SSID, your user name and password. Voila, it worked instantly for me.
