My HTCS740 does not load OS at all - please help - S740, S743 General

All of a sudden, after turning my phone off today and tried to turn it on again, my HTC S740 does not load Windows mobile at all. All it shows is a screen with the red, green, blue, and white colors on it, with the following notes:
ROSE100
SPL-1.54.0000
MicroP-Rose (LED) v10
MicroP-Rose (KEY) v5
PCSID 0x00
RID 0x00
and that's it, I tried removing the battery, tried removing the microSD car, also tried connecting the phone to my notebook with a mini USB cable and the result is always the same - the screen with the shiny colors and the text I which typed above. I have never tried to upgrade my phone's OS or something similar. All that happened just after turning my phone off. PLEASE HELP! What should I do?

Have you tried Hard Reset?Hold the midle-Butten in the Cursor+Volume Down and the a short push on the Power-Button.......to Reset the Phone push the Volume Up-Button....to Cancel Press any other Key......WM will reinstall.....the first boot takes a few minutes.....Wait......Phone will Reboot after its finished.......and if you have probs take the SIM and the SD out....sometimes that helps me.....

Hi,
What do you mean by "midle-Butten in the Cursor", you mean the middle button of the joystick which is under the display inside the circle which is used to scroll sides? If so I tried doing this.. it doesnt help though

think I got it.. however after the hard reset the same screen appears

Put the phone into boot loader mode (sorry I don't know how that works) and then connect it to your pc and flash your stock ROM.

How to enter Bootloader Mode (Tri-Colour)
- Turn off your HTC S740/S743 (either by removing battery or turning off)
- Hold down the VOLUME UP button (keep it held down)
- Turn on the phone using normal POWER button (no need to hold the power button...just a normal push and release)
- Phone will enter Tri-Colour/Bootloader Mode

something many forget with this fault, and I have seen quite a few is it is often not a rom issue but a hardware problem... in this case it may be a faulty up volume button, or maybe the plastic cap has shifted keeping the button held down, does the button still click ok?
The monet was a swine for the camera button giving up the ghost and doing nothing but dropping to boot loader......

Phone won't turn on

I just tried to boot in to the boot loader by holding down the volume-down button while doing a reset from android (power button, tap reset) - I know it's not the right way but I was just trying it. Anyway, now my phone won't turn on. I've tried taking out the battery, putting it back in, booting to the boot loader by holding down volume-down and then holding down the power button, but I get no vibration, nothing. The screen just stays dark.
Orange light comes on when plugged in to charger. When I plug it in to my PC (Windows 7) I get a USB connect sound which is like three low notes in quick succession and then when I unplug I get the USB disconnect sound (higher note then low note).
Any ideas?
Phone is HTC Desire X in case it's not obvious by being posted in this thread.
Thanks
Try a longer press approx for 30 seconds

[Q] Need help for my SGS3 (latest cyanogenmod on it)

Hello everyone,
I'm a newbie at rooting.
I have used CM for 3 months but for a week it got a little strange.
Scenario 1) When I push the power button to get to lock screen, the soft buttons' light turn on for a moment but no change happens on screen. I push power button again, the same result. No other respone from my mobile. If I push power button for 10 sec to reset, i see a little green or purple light beam from the bottom right. After a while, it disappears. And still no response. I remove the battery as a last resort and put it back, when I push the power button, it's the same. Little colorful light beams...
Scenario 2) A short time ago, while I was playing a game on it, the screen just turned off and I pushed the power button... as you guess, the story goes on the same way.
It's now off, I couldn't get to it in any way.
What can I do to solve and how?
You guess it's urgent.
Sorry for my poor English, thanks in advance.
Can you restart the phone in download mode, or recovery mode?
I just figured out something:
The phone turned on and I disabled developer settings. After this, when the screen is locked and off and I push the power button, I see nothing on the screen (maybe a little purple or green beam at the right bottom) but the soft buttons turn on. I slide right to unlock without seeing anything, I pass the lock screen and it's now open. (when I touch the screen, the soft buttons turn on again and again as it should be) I just scroll the main pages right and left, push the volume or main button, they work. (it beeps when the sound is max) after 30 - 40 seconds... yay! The screen is on! It's totally the same all the time. It needs time to turn on?
Is it a software problem or is my screen about to break down?
Thanks again!!
it's a software problem. You can either factory reset, run the trim command if you're running android 4.3, or change to a different ROM.

[Q] Xperia Tablet S (SGPT1211) not responding to reset/boot comands

Hello,
I think I might be at the end of the road with my tablet. I've never rooted it or tampered with it in an way, however yesterday it locked up so I did the usual soft reset (hold power and vol+ for 10 seconds) I then turned it back on and the sony logo popped up, but there it just hung. If I press and hold the power button it switches off, a brief press on the power button brings it back on in the same state. So I go Googling, including looking at threads on this site, all seemed to advise to try to get the Android recovery menu up. on the Sony this is done by holding the power and vol+ and then releasing the power button (only) when the son logo appears (this process to be started when the tablet is off) so I did this, and no response at all. Worse than that, where it would turn on and instantly hang, it now doesn't turn on at all. Hooking it up to my PC I can see the device in device manager, but it tells me my usb device has malfunctioned.
At the moment, my thoughts are to open it up, to:
1. Check that the power/volume buttons aren't stuck in some way (preventing the boot command being given correctly)
2. Remove and resolder if necessary internal battery to force a power cycle.
3. Bin it and get something new (it is 2.5yrs old so no big loss i suppose)
Any ideas where to look or similar experiences?
Thanks

Reset the Phone
You need to do a factory reset. Hold volume 'up' button and power button at same time for a minute or so, then choose factory reset.

The battery is taped into the case with double-sided tape - in other words, very gently pry the battery out (from bottom of battery) & leave it out for a minute or two. Then put it back in & try again.
Fixes for the Boot Loop/Frozen ANS UL40
American Network Solutions (ANS) mobile phones provided by Assurance Wireless (Virgin Mobile) have been known to boot loop, freeze, stay frozen, crash, (right out of the box, brand new) and worse there is inaccurate or completely wrong information on how to do a factory reset and reboot the device. Below I will outline how to reboot the phone and perform a hard factory-reset with no home button on this cellphone.
Problem: Phone won’t turn off, won’t restart, or is stuck on and has no removable battery.
Solution: Keep the phone on and unplugged until battery dies or perform a hard reboot (see below).
Problem: My cell-phone is stuck on and there is no home button to do a hard reset
Solution: Perform a hard reboot. To restart a phone without taking out the battery, simply hold the Volume Up button, the home button (do not press if there is none obviously) and the Power button at the same time. While you hold these simultaneously, the phone will reboot in about 5 to 10 seconds.
Problem: I can’t factory reset my ANS UL40 phone (American Network Solutions) from Assurance Wireless by Virgin Mobile because I can’t get into the recovery menu.
Solution: Turn the phone off (or do a hard reset by holding the Volume-Up Button and the On-Button. Phones with no home button all reboot like this so just wait a few moments and the phone will restart.
Problem: My new mobile phone from Assurance Wireless gets stuck on the loading screen!
Solution: Perform a hard reboot (Volume Up + Power) then when it restarts and you’re on the white Assurance Wireless screen, stop holding power and only hold Volume Up. Keep pressing-and-holding the Increase Volume button and after a while you will be navigated to the Factory Reset Menu. You can wipe the cache partition only or perform a factory reset (which will also wipe the cache). To move around on the menu, use the volume keys (increase volume goes up, decrease volume goes down) and to select your entry simply use the power button (the on button). If this still doesn’t work, see further instructions in the solutions below.
Problem: Phone is frozen on loading screen, stuck in boot-loop even after factory reset/wiping cache partition.
Solution: After you have factory reset or wiped the cache partition you can also choose to install an update from the internal memory or sd-card. If you select this option it will perform a more rigorous factory reset then since you won’t have a package to install it will cancel. I’ve noticed my device getting out of the boot loop once I did this process and it was stuck on the boot screen even after I did a factory reset.
Problem: Can’t get to the recovery menu with my government assistance phone.
Solution: Turn off the phone and with the volume up button held down, power the device on. Keep holding both buttons until you see the white “American Network Solutions” screen with the outline of an eagle. At this point release the power button and continue to hold the volume-up key. After about 5 seconds you will now be inside the Recovery Menu and can do a factory reset.
Problem: My phone has no home button and I need to hard reboot to get to the Recovery Menu and perform a factory reset!
Solution: Hold the Volume-Up Button and the Power Button at the same time. for at least 10 seconds. Your device will restart and after the white ANS screen shows, stop holding the power button. Continue holding the increase audio key until you are at the Factory Reset / Recovery Menu screen. Use the volume buttons to navigate the menu and use the on button to select your choice.
Problem: My phone hangs on the blue Assurance Wireless screen.
Solution: See Above.
Even on the Virgin Mobile and Assurance Wireless websites and in the owner’s manual it says to hold the Volume Up + Home Button + Power Key and to keep holding them until you’re in Recovery Menu. This isn’t going to work for two reasons on the UL40: 1) It has no home button! and 2) it will just keep rebooting every 5 seconds if you hold the power button down constantly. You have to hold the Volume-Up Button and the Power Button until the phone reboots and then let go of the power button while still holding the volume up button. Keep holding the volume up key until you’re into Recovery Mode.
I hope this helps as the information online is either incomplete or completely wrong. Some places say to keep holding the power button along with the volume up key and if you do that the device will just keep restarting, effectively creating a boot loop where there wasn’t any before. Genius! lol. I figured this out after my device, fresh out of the box, froze while charging on the blue Assurance Wireless screen. Finally OCD is good for something! These phones are supposed to be a “Lifeline” but I’d be hard-pressed to get ANYTHING on the line with this potato. Avoid at all costs unless absolutely necessary.
Enjoy. :highfive:

Great advice. Have had an ANS UL-40 for over a year, & they truly stink if you can't root them - which I can't since I've no computer access (for ADB). I honestly miss the old android Jellybean phones that could be rooted with just an app. Oh well.
I have a UL40, I tried the factory reset method, it reset but the phone is still suck on the blue assurance wireless screen.
Ps. It's been like this for days. It stays on the blue screen for about 5 minutes, then the screen is completely black. When I try to turn it on again, it's blue for five minutes then goes black.
Help...?
My ans ul40 keeps restarting. Every 2 to 5 seconds, on its own. I tried to factory reset it with the steps listed above and I can't tell if it works because when I hold the volume up and power button, it does two things, the phone will either shut off again and go into the constant restarting or number 2, it will show me a white screen as if to say the holding down of the volume and power button worked, but then it just goes back into the constant restarting... at this point I'm thinking I have to call for a new phone.
I have a ul40, technically 2 because one wouldn't hold a charge and now this one keeps crashing and giving me error codes. I can't afford to just drop money on a new phone (hence why i got this one) and I am FORCED to do a factory reset every 3-5 days because the memory gets so full, even if I erase memory, disable or delete apps and barely use it outside of texting or calling. Its frustrating to high hell. The code that shows up is either "GOOGLE SERVICES FRAME WORK KEEPS STOPPING", or "COM.ANDROID.PHONE HAS STOPPED"
Any advice is helpful advice.

i have a similar problem except it gets to the blue assurance screen and then it turns off and then reboots i can't fix it and i don't know what's wrong this is the only phone i have (don't laugh) but i can't not have this phone
Have you tried taking out the battery for a minute or two, then powering up? (Battery is only held down with tape - it can gently be pried out). The other option is a complete reset - instructions on holding the power & volume keys, etc, are posted already.
this phone seems to ship with a lot of malware factory-installed (and possibly more built into the firmware?) so it's critical to go into Settings->Apps and disable everything that looks suspicious, including the less obvious "notepad" app and "voice recorder" app. this should help your phone run somewhat better but there's some adware still running that i haven't figured out how to disable, so a perfect solution in theory would be to root the phone as discussed in this thread. unfortunately so far there doesn't seem to be a working root for this phone.
I did fatory reset from recovery until arrivet to let us go then skip sim then next as new device/retrive from cloud then lis of wifi appear and stop at this point nothing else appear to enter
what the solution please?????

After splash screen, screen blank but phone sinks with BT & capacitive lights active

After splash screen, screen blank but phone sinks with BT & capacitive lights active
Today I tried to update my phone to the newest firmware (I think it was .210, but I know it was from August 5th on firmware finder...I know its a long time to wait to update, but I started a new job, moved to a new city, etc. so things have been super crazy). Unfortunately, after flashing with EMUI Flasher, the phone rebooted and then got an update failure. I restarted the phone and waited but the screen was black. However, my smart band paired and if I press the power button, the capacitive button lights turn on, but the screen is blank/black. I have tried rebooting, both regularly holding power for 20 seconds as well as holding the power key with volume up and then volume down. I can reboot into a recovery of sorts and tried to wipe cache and restart, as well as boot into safe mode, but both result in the black screen from before. I can also boot into fastboot, but don't know what I could do to fix this.
Any advice as to how I can save my phone would be really appreciated. I'm really hoping I don't have to wipe the phone.
Please help me!
