hi, my friend has an HTC Desire that has never been rooted or anything, all stock, during official ota update it failed and now shows black screen with htc logo and four triangles 1 in each corner, all the fixes i read seem to require s-off
are there any methods without, or how do i achieve s-off from this state ?
Or is the phone just FUBAR ?
thanks in advance for any help offered !
SO that happened during an ota update.
what happens when u pull our the battery
then try booting in recovery
Im pretty sure that ur phone might be in a very bad state, and i dont think you can get s off, unless ur phone was in usb debbugging
try taking it to ur service provider or send it to htc, don't lose hope tho
look at my guide
PLEASE STICKY IF THIS IS HELPFUL!!!
ALSO ON THE HTC ONE V FORUM (since this phone is like a hybrid of that and this, the desire....and doesn't have it's own dedicated forum hahaha)
Hello Everyone, just yesterday I was messing with gapps on my HTC t328w (since it's a chinese phone, it didn't not come with gapps, so I had try to flash them myself) and I made some mistakes, which basically ended up soft-bricking my device (unable to update gapps since I had merged the entire system folders instead of just copying system/app), and it would not boot to the home screen.
After looking for a while I had found the RUU for this phone, however, the .exe just did not work for me, it wouldn't detect my phone (maybe incorrect drivers, but I can't be sure of that as my phone was rooted using the same computer)...
So after some thinking and working stuff out, I came up with method (well, at least for this phone, it has been done for other phones before), so I present you...
HOW TO UNBRICK THE HTC T328W DESIRE V (HTC WIND FROM CHINA UNICOM
What you need
-The phone, obviously (try to have battery above 30%)
-***RELOCKED*** bootloader
-The RUU found here (download the .exe) (Thank you island3r!)
-Micro SD card
Ok!~~~
Let us begin...
1.) Run the RUU exe file, and when it's done preparing, go to start > run, and type in %temp%, you should see the temp folder pop up...
2.) In the temp folder, look for the file with the longest name (that was my qualitative observation, needs clarification~!), and scroll down and find rom.zip
3.) Rename rom.zip to PL11IMG.zip, and transfer it to the root of your micro sd card (with the adapter in your computer, as you can't with your phone...since it's bricked...)
4.) Take the micro-sd card out of your computer, slide it in your phone, and boot into HBOOT (volume down + power button).
5.) When you are at the hboot screen, press the down button once, you should see the phone scan the SD card, it will say in about 5 - 10 seconds "PL11IMG.zip found....checking.....loading", there is a vertical progress bar on the top right side of the screen so you can be sure that it's not frozen or something...
6.) After it is done checking, it should bring up a menu to update and say press vol+ for YES and vol- for new, we need to flash this update/restoration so press the the volume up button...
7.) It will do something for about a minute, and go BACK to boot loader, repeat step 5 and 6 (this happened to me, I really don't know if this will happen to others...someone please test this?)
8.) Now that you have said YES to update the second time, wait about 10 minutes (you can watch the progress bar too), and it will say "update completed, press power to reboot"
9.) Reboot, and your phone is good as new!!!!* ^______^
*I mean it when I say that, it is literally good as new; it will wipe everything, and you need to activate your phone again and set up and all that stuff
I NEED TESTERS AND CONFIRMERS....HELP ME OUT WITH THIS METHOD PLEASE
Hope you found this helpful! Post if you have any comments, concerns, or any thing that should be added on (this is my first guide hahaha )
I cannot execute as above as i never get to step #6.
----------------
My T328W came with OS version 1.35.
Recently it got an OTS update to 1.56.
This happened while i was in process to unlock boot-loader, root the phone, and begin installation of gaps.
Now the phone seems to be in "NEVER NEVER land". I cant do much with it. WIFI and Bluetooth are not working.
I can readily lock and unlock the boot-loader.
The security is on. S-ON.
I want to go back to 1.35 (factory shipped version) but cannot as different errors come up when trying ton install RUU. I do have the original version RUU it shipped with.
There seems to be much confusion as to how install this orignal RUU. S-ON or should it be OFF. How do i turn it OFF.
BASICALLY
I want to get the phone completely back to shipped version. So then i can begin the root, and gaps installation.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Helpful guide
it works. Thank you.
how do you install Google Play in your chinese Version (China Unicom) T328W, build 1.35.1402.1?
This method would not work for device which have HBOOT 1.14.0002 and S-ON (device which have received 1.56.1402 release OTA update). Mind one got this and when I flash the zip, the phone say "HBOOT is older" cannot update.
I see someone in androidforum post that there is a method to flash only system, data and recovery (what he call mini-RUU) but I dont know whether it work or not if I fash 1.35.xxx rom to my newer HBOOT device.
If someone have experience could help me confirm it, I am sorry that I am hersitated to test myself cause I dont have any backup rom for my device, I am scare if it would soft-brick my device (it's currently have and missing feature rom - missing notification bar, but at lease it still work and allow my to whatsapp with my wife). Please help.

hi ive been having some problems trying to root my htc one x phone on telus (in canada). unlocking the bootloader worked but when i tryed to do fastboot flash recovery in command prompt it would say error. ive tried other methods to get the recovery to work and to get superSU on my phone so that i have the root but none seem to work. can anyone help me find out what im doing wrong and how to fix it? also when i tried to do the recovery the first time it sent me to a black screen with a green loading wheel over a phone not moving, then a few seconds later it send me to another black screen with a phone and a red caution sign, i dont know what this means but i knows its not helping. any progress will do thanks
Umm isn't the Telus the dual-core version? This is the forum for the International One X. Despite your device being known as the One X, it's the One XL here.
You can find a guide for your phone here:

PS. do not install any ROMs from this section, you will brick or even possibly hard brick your phone.
Hi friends
im new here so this is my first post, what i want is help from any android expert in solving my problem. see i recently got the HTC one X plus and unlocked the bootloader, and installed clockwork mod recovery and rooted my phone. now when i receive the offical jb ota update, i cannot update it and it says error and i abort the installation and reboot the phone. and by the way all this unlocking and rooting is done thanks to Hasoons2000 tool kit, bless that developer who made this toolkit. so after researching reading many forums and find out that we have to use stock recovery image for htc one +. to fix the problem , i cant find any One X + stock recovery image all i can see are htc one X stock recovery image. but i need the one specific to my phone.
Since i dont want to risk bricking my expensive phone. so guys if you have the solution to my problem please do help me out.!!
no need
First I want to say that this is not Urgent and that's not problem...
also don't make 2 threads you can still bump this up by posting in it...
I think that you don't need this update because it is for stock ROM what you still have left on your phone and you wont see big difference.
For new user you can flash other, maybe even better custom ROM that will make small difference, but you must read what you chose. If you like stock than go for new versions custom ROMs with stock design.
Or if you really want to check out new HTC update you can go back to stock make update and then ROOT again...
But then first find out what will be in that update maybe we alredy have it in custom ROM.
I also had that update but I like stock and I dont want custom ROM yet. So I live without update and with stock ROM. If i want update I have Nandroid backup of stock ROM without root . One thing what I will install on stock is Renovate Gaming boost app I also use twrp recovery because it is touch recovery.
Htc One X+
I need help getting a recovery i have my bootloader unlocked and i am on a mactonish computer. Can you tell me how you got the recovery, the links etc. thank tou for your time
Sincerly, SomebodyEpic
Hi,
New to here but have found so resourceful information throught the forum.
I've tried root my Htc one M8s iternational model I'm from ireland but have run into problems along the way.
As its a M8s it doesnt have the fastboot off setting in the battery options. Ive been using the Hasoon2000 all i n one kit to try root the device. So far I've successfully unlocked the bootloader through the steps on htc derv. I've gone on to install the twrp custom recovery through the tool kit which it says was a a success. Ive put the supersu zip in the phone also. When i put the phone into the Bootloader screen and try to load the custom recovery all the phone does is reboot to a black screen with a red light in the speaker flashing. If i try to do a factory reset i also get the same result.
i'm sort of stuck at this point because im new the process of rooting and could do with a little help if anyone has any ideas to why the phone is doing this.
You can NOT flash stuff that's meant for the M8 !
