[Q] Desire S dead after failed update - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I'm in desperate need for any help. I'll describe my situation:
After the phone offered me an update from 2.3.3 to 2.3.5, it remained screwed. When I returned to the phone after I started the update, I could see a red triangle with an exlcamation mark. Gradually, I found out how to access the recovery menu and the HBOOT. I did some googling in hope to solve my problem by myself, so a guy on a Czech android forum uploaded some PG88DIAG file which the HBOOT started loading for a while but always ended with an error like 'no image or wrong image'.
So I figured my phone data have gone to hell and moved on to try rooting the device. Again, I followed a guide so as not to mess anything up, but it seems that the odds are against me. I installed the driver, unistalled HTC sync, ran the phone in the USB fastboot mode, launched the unrevoked application with admin rights, turned every possible feature of my AV off and I just kep looking at the bloody 'waiting for device' message. Tried it on another PC, too.
If it can be of any use, my HBOOT version is 98.0002.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

(Make sure the drivers are installed on your PC) Boot into fastboot then reflash your stock rom.

Well, as a newbie, I have no idea how to reflash ROM. Care to help?

Download the RUU from here: http://www.filefactory.com/f/c64d333a2755a421/, then run it on your PC while your device is in fastboot.

Thanks, it worked! Now, could someone recommend me some ROM? I think it would be quite a pity not to root the phone now that've lost all data anyway.

It's fine, but if you want more speed, you could try a new kernel like this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1100396.

Ok, but what do I do with the kernel? Just install a file from the recovery like ROMs?

Yes. Make sure you wipe the dalvik cache after you flash it.

Thanks. I have a tiny problem with the custom ROM, though. When I try to access the sound notification change (the one for messages), it says that Sound set has unexpectedely stopped (my translation) and it keeps crashing.
Is it a known bug in that ROM?

Ask that question (or raise the issue) in the rom's thread.

I can't, it says I don't have enough posts to post in there.

[Q] Force Close Loop. How can I fix this?

I haven't downloaded anything recently, I literally just picked up my phone after I woke up and I got a message saying "the application tasks provider has stopped working unexpectedly" and it gives me the option to force close. When I close it, a similar message pops up for email, messaging, social hub, tw launcher, facebook and it keeps going on and on without giving me a chance to use the phone. Do you guys know what I can do? I would be extremely grateful if you could help me out.

			
				
Bwahahahaa ;-) Gold.
Yes i've tried that. I've take the battery pack, memory card and sim card out, then replaced them but the loop keeps occuring. It's gotta be more of a software issue and that's why I need your help.
You haven't told us anything whatsoever about your setup/rom/kernel/etc. We're not mind readers
Try a factory reset in the first instance.
If you're running anything other than stock firmware, go back to stock firmware.
i recomendeed to change your rom..
i think that is a crush from your system, mate..
About 4 months ago I had exactly the same problem.
Is there Debugging-Mode enabled in you're phone?
Is you're phone rooted?
Try to take out only the SIM Card and then connect it to you're PC. Then turn the S2 on and try to backup all you're data.
If you're phone is rooted, try to boot up in CWM Recovery Mode and go to "advanced" and then "Fix Permissions". It shuold solve you're problem.
If you're phone isn't rooted, then you have to flash a stock or custom ROM.

Sorry about that man, but I have no idea what my setup/rom/kernel is, don't even know what most of that means. The thing is I can't even go to the settings on my phone to check because the popups won't allow me to.

I know about technology but not like this. I have no idea what debugging mode/rooted or cwm recovery is. Any chance of explaining it to me in really, REALLY easy terms?
Sorry about my lack of knowledge guys, but I wholeheartedly appreciate you taking the time out to give me a hand.
1. Try wiping all data (fixed when i had the problem)
1. U need a kernel with CWM recovery (recommend siyah kernel)
2. Install with odin look on these forums for odin dont remember link
3. go to recovery (vol up+home button+power) and wipe data/cache (wipes everything apps, passwords, etc)
4. Try now if works click the thanks button

No problem man
Okay...when you have root permissions on youre phone you can write in system files and do other administrative work.
You can root youre phone by flashing a rooted kernel. The kernel is something like the heart of youre Android OS. You have to know some facts about youre S2, to root it successfully.
You have to know which Kernel version is installed at the moment. This information you can find in Settings -> About Phone -> Kernel Version (or something like that...my S2 is in German ). But when youre phone is bricked or youre system is damaged, its really hard or impossible to find out the kernel version. I think you won't be able to root it successfully :-(
So the only one possibillity to rescue youre S2 is, to flash a new firmware.

Not rooted but S-Off

Ok heres the deal. I Rooted my phone and s-off. It also shows locked at the top of screen. I was trying to install another RUU to possibly help out the battery issues that I was having. Battery was only lasting half a day. The RUU that I flashed was RUBY_ICS_35_S_TMOUS_2.14.531.3_R2_Radio_1.14.550L. 17DC_30.78.550L.15_release_262141_signed.zip
This caused my phone to rest to the factory settings. The problem is now I cannot install a custom rom. It is showing in superuser that I am not rooted. Everytime I try to re-root the phone I cannot go into recovery. On top of that, when I try to install the recovery, it shows failed remote not allowed. What did I do and can it be fixed?
Flash a recovery.

Are you performing the commands to flash a recovery in fastboot? The phone needs to be in that screen for it to flash. But if that doesn't work you'll need to change you hboot version.
OK I will try that. Which Hboot will be the correct one or where should I find it. Thanks please
No go. I tried and still cant get to recovery. Even in fastboost I just get a image of a disk and then there is the red triangle. What else should I try. Apparently superuser is not installed and the phone is on S-Off. Go figure. Maybe Installed the wrong RUU which somehow I cant explain it.

There have been a lot of posts on similar issues. You can "sideload" a ROM via ADB commands from your computer. If you can get into recovery, your phone can be fixed. I haven't done this myself (still stock), but do a search on google or xda on sideloading a ROM from ADB.

Did you clear the cache? Also, I've seen some people have to format the partitions.
EDIT: But formatting does not seem to be needed if you sideloaded successfully.

You have to be careful with No o.s installed .
Normally if u reboot when u see that you'll brick.
Without a o.s you have no bootloader..
I bricked my s3 and had to jtag it when it said no o.s I rebooted and black blank screen nothing.
I've had this happen also when choosing format system and format data /media some reason it botches the boot up .
My only fix was to sideload a rom or wipe factory and restore a nandroid .

my recomendation is that you get s -off and supercid asap so next time you run into a similar problem you can just install any ruu(note only do this if your phone has no official ruu) and work it out from there.

What you need to do is this exactly .
Dload a rom on pc reboot recovery on phone first .IMORTANT FIRST FORMAT SYSTEM.
Then when that's done choose factory reset.
Rename the rom to Rom.zip or anything you want but make sure it says.zip
Sometimes sideload won't work if roms not renamed , that's mentioned in another thread about sideloading.
Then sideload the rom
Let it load and install .
When it reboots itl take a while .
I just did this to my HTC one the other day after I got stuck after formating data media .

How do you locate your backup in TWRP? Is it from the restore menu or from file manager menu? I never see my backups in file manager but if you choose restore menu, they are normally there.

afaik as long as you can go to bootloader, your device is not bricked. You can still push the zip file or ruu. What indicates that your computer doesnt recognize the device?

Never mind about the MTP driver, mate. It is not always an indication that the computer doesn't recognize the phone. I have installed the same driver in several computers with similar OS and about half of them shows that MTP driver failed to install. HTC sync even always says no device connected. However, the computer still recognize the phone to be used for rooting or doing anything using hassoon's tool.
Before continuing, do you own HTC One or One X+? The link you refered shows that it's HTC One thread.
For HTC One X+ you can read in the 4th post in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2066390

Did you get that after choosing sideload option? try putting the zip file in the data folder in hassoon toolkit.
For ruu you can try look at q18 in the firsy post of this thread forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2179337
My last post in that thread might help too. However, check your device radio version first to see which one suits yours.
or maybe this thread might help as well since it's for Telus version forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2051032

I occassionally had the same case with you and surely would want yo see yours running up again like mine. The difference is i had several rom zips in my hox+ at that time but everytime i flashed any of them and no matter how many times i wipe and flash boot.img, it ended up in bootloop.

In hassoon toolkit there is a folder named 'data' just put your zip file there and choose the file from there when sideloading. Sometimes problem occurs from such minor thing where any file you need (rom, recovery, kernel) needs to be put in the adb folder.

If i were you,i would start fresh from another computer just to make sure that it is not your computer causing that and to see if it makes any difference. However I still believe that the computer recognizes the device,otherwise the command prompt will say 'waiting for device' if adb doesn't recognize the device. If such problem still persists, then i think it is the time for you to ruu.
Well i expect any help from others since the beginning. This thread has been viewed more than 500 times but there are you and me only mate. Just dont stop trying anyway. That's where your learning is from and how you prevail

Just keep posting here to see how far your effort is with it. Good luck

Did you get that after choosing sideload option? try putting the zip file in the data folder in hassoon toolkit.
For ruu you can try look at q18 in the firsy post of this thread forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2179337
My last post in that thread might help too. However, check your device radio version first to see which one suits yours.
or maybe this thread might help as well since it's for Telus version forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2051032

mine may not be a telus version
my radio version is "RADIO-SSD:2.14.55.11"
the closest i can find to this version is Cingular!
http://www.androidruu.com/getdownlo....55.01_18.21.95.55L_release_310178_signed.exe
version is 2.14.55.01
the Telus one version is 1.09.55.17
I'm guessing the Cingular would be best??
thanks

Well it should say the exact same radio version if you dont want to meet any problem. Can you search for the one as same as yours?
Or if you need further detail about the version, you can type 'fastboot getvar version-main' in the adb

Well nothing is working.
I guess my device is a paperweight even if I can get into recovery.
Can't flash anything, not even the RUU, can't sideload........nothing.
Tried Hassoon's instructions for the RUU but it won't reconise that a device is attached to go into Bootlaoder, sideloading ALWAYS fails at 22%. Others seem to overcome this but I cannot. It's frustrating reading how many problems are solved when nothing works for me.

[Q] Need help installing clockwork recover on my Atrix HD MB886

Hello XDA members,
I was hoping somebody would help me out, I'm fairly new when it comes to installing custom roms so I require your patience. I don't know how to install a custom rom onto my Bell Atrix HD MB886, everytime I try it says abortion failed, what can I do to fix this. I have wiped data and all that probably 5 times in the past week alone. I would like to know how to successfully install roms without errors. Both the times that I have done this I had my bootloader unlocked, and I had clockword recovery mod latest version 6.0.4.4. I bought an SD card today to help install the roms because otherwise I can't do it from my internal storage. I really hope somebody can help me out.
Regards,
Roger

Hi there. A failed abortion certainly seems like an issue... I guess I am not totally clear on the status here. You say that you had CWM. Do you still have it? Bootloader is still unlocked? What rom are you trying to install? Are you certain it's for the Bell version and not like the AT&T one? What is the exact error message?

No I don't have it atm as I just wiped the data/cache last night but will I already have CWM, I just need to unlock the bootloader and try again...I'm trying to install this one:
Android 4.4.2 KitKat Mokee Rom, and it says the version is a nightly. Yes I'm positive it's the Bell Version as I purchased it at a Bell Store and my carrier is Bell. The error message is "Installation Aborted." It begins installing, and then halfway through I get that error message. How do I fix this?
I figured you knew what phone you had. I was wondering if you had a rom built for the Bell version vs an ATT one. But since you are using a CM based rom, it obviously doesn't matter. Curious as to why you are bothering with relocking the bootloader? But I suggest to either try a different version of the rom, or to change your recovery to one of the Philz Touch versions as that's what some of the other users in that thread for the rom for your phone were using. You can find them here:

No I was bothering to unlock it again, not lock it. Where can I find different versions for the 4.4.2 Mokee Rom? I've tried using the Philz Touch version: Motorola Atrix HD One Click Philz recovery installer and when I tried it a couple of times it said it failed to install although I'm not sure why. I came across these images the other day but how do I use the .img files on my device, as I'm not sure to proceed from here once I have them downloaded.

I was curious as why you relocked it in the first place.
Where are you getting Mokee from that doesn't have a link to their Downloads?

thanks will try this out and let you know later how it works! I download the custom rom from true android blogspot.ca (can't post links just yet, annoying).

Right on. Well, you should bookmark the thread here on XDA because that's typically where the action happens.

Okay so I'm trying it now and the program won't even open :/
Odd. I just downloaded it to test and I didn't have any issues. If you can't get the actual application / exe file to open, then just use the Main-Skip.bat. Does the same thing.
If it doesn't open still, make sure that you have your anti-virus off as sometimes those interfere with programs like this. Might also try as admin.

Okay I wasn't looking at the actual .exe sorry, I got it to work and all I installed the Philz One Touch Recovery from that program, just downloaded a different rom and all and then I select the apply update from external storage and when it gets to the verifying update package, it gave me the same error message as yesterday, Installation Aborted.
So again, how do I fix this, am I doing something wrong? Why won't my custom rom install?

I don't think that is the most updated version. What's the version number of the recovery that was installed? It should be listed on the main page of it when you boot there. I was suggesting to use one of the new ones. It might have something to do with the SELinux support that KK roms need. You just have to put the img file in the tools folder and rename the new one the same. But here's no other error that shows up other than Installation Aborted? I was thinking usually it would have an error code or some other message.Have you checked the md5 of the rom zip to make sure it's not corrupted (if the dev provided it)?

Use one of the new versions of that program or to use the latest CWM which I have been. Okay I really don't know how to do that and where to move it to, how do I do such a thing? No it just says Installation Aborted... How would I do that? And yes I downloaded the new rom directly from his site.

Look in the tools folder of the zip you downloaded. Download the newest Philz Touch img from the other link from earlier. Rename it to replace the one in the tools folder. Redo the recovery install. But you didn't say what version you already have.

Did you do a full wipe, including wiping /system?
If you didn't, it should be under Mounts and Storage > Format /system of something of that sort.

Pop the battery out for a bit, then pop it back in and hold Volume Down while powering up. Should get you into fastboot where you can skip to the recovery.

The battery doesn't come out of my phone as you can't take the back off. I got into fast boot easily them selected recovery and nothing happened, I think my phone is screwed

Oh yea, forgot you have to undo the screws on the bottom. So you scroll down to hit recovery and use the Power button to select and it doesn't do anything? That's odd.. Try and reflash the recovery since you can still get to fastboot. If that doesn't work, you're not totally screwed since you can still get to fastboot, that means you should be able to restore it to stock and start over.
Alternatively, if you have fastboot set up, you could make sure that philz touch is in the fastboot folder and use this command:
fastboot boot recovery nameofphilztouchfile.img
If you don't have fastboot, then just grab this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790 , drop the recovery img in that folder and open the CMD prompt on your computer and change directories to it and run the command.
