Hello all, I'm hoping there are some sincere members will to help out a total noob.
I picked up my sensation and stumbled upon this website, in order to find a way to "jailbreak" my phone (I use that term lightly, I was a previous iPhone user and so far know very little, if nothing, about android development.
Lets get to it, to start I was attracted to installing this rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849
At the time of noticing this post, my phone was brand new-- I read carefuly and understood that I should follow this post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
I correctly (to my knowledge) Installed S-Off, ClockWork, Root, SuperCID..
While waiting for the Revolution rom to download, I started fooling around with my phone, noticed I was having Wifi errors -- would not connect, constantly trying to obtain IP address..
So heres where I think I goofed, I preformed a factory reset from my device, completely wiped the SD, -- did not fix wifi problem. I returned to the post about installing S-off, CWR, etc...
And understood that, "IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING WIFI ERROR.
Currently the only way to fix this is to flash Stock Rom again or Custom Rom."
I then proceeded to follow STEP 4 in that guide in attempt to reinstall stock rom.
I was directed to this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074559
and downloaded
RUU_Pyramid_BM_1.35.666.1_Radio_10.50.9007.00U_10. 12.9007.21_2M_release_200555_signed
As I understood BM to stand for Bell Mobility (my carrier).
I went through the process, failed. I now have a black screen with HTC logo in the middle with exclamation marks in all four corners. There is a progress bar that is at approximately 90%. No matter what I've tried I cannot return to the boot menu.
At this point I am almost certain I've bricked my phone (fail), but if theres any possible way of fixing and returning to factory settings and fixing my wifi error I would greatly appreciate any help.
If I'm pretty much screwed I'd like to know where to go from here? Will I have to purchase a new phone.
Apologies if this post has been covered, (I did search the forums) but I've grown desperate and am certainly worried.
Please Help!!! What do I do?
sounds bad...you cant get to the fastboot menu at all? not even after a battery pull?
No, not after a battery pull or sdcard switch (idk if that does anything or not, but I tried it.)
hmmm....methinks its bricked...and we have no jtag or download mode :/
the only other option it to try to flash an eng hboot for fastboot commands, or an older RUU from the sd card.
it seems to me the only course of action is using a pg*****.img from the sd card and keep trying to access fastboot, or just return for repair
when its in this htc logo with exclimation screen, can you run ANY adb commands?
I'm going to try an older RUU, and no I cannot run any adb commands because the command prompt flashes for only a second.
One thing, when I pull out the USB
PVT Pyramid S-OFF
HBoot 1.17.0011
Radio 10.12.9007.21_2M
eMMC-boot
*date/time*
RUU
will flash on the screen for a moment, this is the only time (other than battery out) when it is not on HTC Logo with exlamations..
(soo bricked yeah?, feels good man.)
Obviously my warrantee is voided right, so how can I send in for repair? Will I end up having to purchase a new phone?..
dont just run a .bat or exe for commands, go to run>cmd and type commands manually, and see what it returns, espicially if you get return on "adb device" (no quotes)
also, if it shows the software info, it *should* flash any RUU/recovery files on the sd card, and then you can use CWM or TWRP to get a little farther...
im dl'ing an RUU to lookin to something else that might help, but if you dont mind a little work, you might be able to get it going again
if its easier, just pm me and i can help you out of the threads, with quicker response
Anything I can do to get it working again, just remember I'm really new, I'll catch on quick, but I've only been at this stuff a day! Also wanted to thank you properly, since I have yet too. So thanks for the help so far.
So, silly me, I can somewhat run adb commands now. But adb is not showing my device, however I type the commands
"fastboot reboot-bootloader"
"fastboot reboot"
and it reboots it, but returns it to the exclamation screen,
"fastboot getvar cid" seems to also be working, (I only know limited commands, from the tutorial)
awesome, that means you still have a chance!
ok gimme a moment, im checking something as we speak
EDIT* also, thanks for the "thanks"
ok try these commands (though they might not work on your hboot) and reply the output:
fastboot oem partition_test
fastboot oem test_emmc
these are to make sure there are no issues with any tables
also is this a bell sensation? if so, you will have to superCID to install the latest EU RUU, which may solve all your problems
also, this is the easiest way to flash an RUU for you (MUST BE SuperCID!):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11441747&postcount=1
Output..:
C:\adb>fastboot oem partition_test
... INFO[ERR] Command error !!!
OKAY [ 0.019s]
finished. totla time: 0.019s
C:\adb>fastboot oem test_emmc
... INFO[ERR] Command error !!!
OKAY [ 0.021s]
finished. total time: 0.022s
And yes, bell sensation.
blerg, i thought it might output the errors, but thats more of a pc issue, not the phone
give the manual RUU a shot, seems to be the easiest/best chance atm, but try to supercid first
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
go to step 4
I will give the manual RUU, which RUU do you suggest I try?
RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.45.401.2_Radio_10.56.9035 .00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_208857_signed
bottom of the list in the first post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13698101&postcount=1
So I actually downloaded
RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.24.401.1_Radio_10.39.9007 .00P_10.11.9007.09_M2_release_190934_signed
and ran it off my desktop and it restored my phone ! Yay! So its working fine right now (I think there was just an issue with the BM RUU) .. except for the wifi... my wifi is still not working...
Thanks for you help again.. You got my this far, so if you're ready to give up on me go ahead, but I would really like to sort this issue out..
Not quite sure where to go from here, but so thankful the phone is not bricked!
Should I update to the one you posted? I had previously downloaded this
this RUU is better, as for the wifi, lemme find the best wifi fix patch for ya
lol im also at work right now and VERY bored, so this is an excellen time killer
also, this RUU might fix the wifi problem, but if not, you will need to install clockwork recovery or teamwin recovery to flash the .zip of the wifi fix
EDIT* also, try turning off fastboot, reboot the fone, then wipe dalvik cache in recovery and boot back in, then check the wifi
if the wifi still doesnt work, give this a shot:

Hello,
I try to unlock my bootloader with htcdev but i get this error :
C:\Users\Administrator>cd C:\Android
C:\android>fastboot oem get_identifier_token
...
(bootloader) [ERR] Command error !!!
OKAY [ 0.009s]

How to fix this ? :$
I'm looking too, but for the [Doubleshot].
Trying the same thing myself on the HTC Doubleshot (MyTouch 4G Slide) and no joy, same exact error.
ericosman, did you by chance follow all the advice on HTC's site -- including specifically installing HTC Sync? I didn't install Sync because it looks like stuff I won't use and don't need, except that Sync has some dependencies (like a USB BMP Driver, whatever that is) that might make the difference. I haven't tried yet but I plan to.
I've tried two different versions of Fastboot, one I downloaded from masterjason.com and another I downloaded from Google's Android SDK manager. Both behave identically, despite one being nearly a megabyte where the other was 70 kilobytes.
I've tried reinstalling USB drivers, no joy.
I can get fastboot devices to work, as well as adb anything when the phone is booted, so I don't think drivers are really the issue.
I think it's HTC making a blanket promise that all the phones in that list can do this and indeed not all can.
[EDIT 2012-01-07: Add more info I found]
Gotta love it. Edited the post, and when saving, was told to refresh and log in. Then I wasn't given a chance to copy-paste what I typed. Annoying.
Anyway, see if I can remember what all I typed...
uhm...
I found through Google, and directed to Yet Another Android Forum somewhere on the 'net, that fastboot oem h will provide you a list of commands that are supported, and get_identifier_token was not among them. I suspect it's the phone's bootloader which contains supported commands, not Fastboot executable itself, so it may require downgrading/upgrading to a different HBOOT that has the necessary command support.
I did find readsecureflag which returns the integer "3" on my S-ON device. I assume then that the command I found called writesecureflag similarly takes an integer value, but what value to feed it, I don't know, and I don't want to risk my phone. Seems benign enough, but I know from computer programming that anything looking benign is not always.
Anyway, if you run fastboot oem h and get_identifier_token isn't there, I'd recommend giving up on this particular method of rooting.
Hope this helps.
[Edit 2012-04-15: Strikeout above no longer applicable info]
Turns out, see Aisho's post below, which sums up what eventually worked for me.
I actually had to wait for an OTA to be available long enough for a dev to package it up to a bootloader-flashable package, which included the get_identifier_token. Once I had that version on my phone, I was able to get the token to HTCDEV and get my bootloader unlocked. Not full access, but not bad: The only downside is if I need to flash a kernel I have to do it separately from the ROM through fastboot, and I don't think I can update my radio (not that I should need to). But hey, I can flash a custom ROM and get rid of this nasty crap T-Mobile thinks everyone should have (I will never play bejeweled, so I don't even want that adware/nagware on my phone).
[/edit]
I actually had this same problem with my HTC Wildfire S, and found this thread in searching for answers -- since I figured it out, I figured I'd put the solution out there.
My HBOOT was precisely the version HTC was advertising on their site as necessary for the unlock, which made it all the more perplexing when I repeatedly got this error. But then it occurred to me that while my version might be the same, HTC had stuck a neat little asterisk* next to the Wildfire S initially, saying that it required a new HBOOT anyway. I'd thought I was smarter than they were, but really what's different in the new download is the incorporation of just the command you're missing here. Since the ability to unlock is fairly new (through HTC officially, I mean) they're providing new HBOOTs with that command line included. I flashed the new HBOOT (even though it was exactly the same version) and lo and behold when I tried it again, it accepted the fastboot oem get_indentifier_token command.
I'd check to make sure that the HTC Legend doesn't have an asterisk as well, and maybe redownload the HBOOT anyway just in case. It can't hurt.

I'm having the same problem on htc salsa, I have the version it says i should have, but have no get_indentifier_token, how is HBOOT updated?
My phone is S-ON and Hboot is 1.07.0000
HBOOT is updated via bootloader mode (on my phone, assumably the same for most HTC phones). You will need the correct HBOOT for your phone, and it will probably have to be contained within a full update package (for my phone, it's PG59IMG.ZIP, for the Dream it was DREAIMG.ZIP, your phone model will have its own filename). That file goes on the SD card, you boot into bootloader (usually, remove battery to ensure phone is full off, replace battery, and power up while holding the "VOLUME DOWN" button in). It then checks the file and asks you if you want to update.
However, if your phone is the same or newer version as the file you are trying to use, there's a good chance it will not work (the phone will not downgrade (usually (I think (I could be wrong) ) ) ).
You might also be amongst the lucky few who have a phone with what's called an RUU available. That's an .EXE file you run in Windows, connect your phone, and it writes what's in the file directly to the phone regardless of version.
HIH.
I have the upgraded HBOOT version as Im following a thread for how to do it, which incidentally isnt working, when I go to the bootloader menu it finds the file but does not up date it. It has been updated to the current version stated on htcdev with a FOTA update which may be why the HBOOT upgrade doesnt work.
I have the HTC salsa and it does reference RUU a few times. I dont use windows but HTC sync doesnt seem to find the phone, I have tried many things to get it working
Am I meant to run the EXE provided by htcdev and dont run HTC SYNC? Should I be in the bootloader menu/recovery first before running it?
@ericosman
did you follow every single steps ?
I just did it on my Legend (24 hours ago), in the end I followed the post of BlaY0 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22613990&postcount=62) and it worked great.
And yes, the RUU file is the one of a few MiB that you find at the very beginning at HTCdev.
The only trick is that I had to restore my data backup but also my boot backup, otherwise I was stuck in the hboot.
I did it by flashing the recovery image, as I deleted my old update.zip of ClockWorkMod, following the steps of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1290841 (see the end of the post: 'New recovery'). Then I went to 'Advanced restore' and restored both my boot image and my data back.
Always backup your system before playing around !
i must be reading it wrong
where is says install htc sync and use the file below
I took it as use the file from htc sync
no
execute the file below

Alright, let's try again.
Before the step 1 of HTCdev, it asks you to upgrade your phone to the latest RUU. You don't have to. (see BlaY0's post [1])
Just download the RUU file, thus you will be able to retrieve the very hboot's zip (just run the EXE, don't go through the installer but instead locate its temporary extraction folder with the task manager and get that rom.zip).
They only want you to install HTC Sync so that your phone is recognized by Windows and the RUU can located it.
[1] BlaY0 explains that you don't have to upgrade to the latest HTC ROM or even RUU.
got it, and dump that zip file with the correct file name onto the root of the sdcard and start the bootloader
YAY it works, time to proceed to unlock
The version I got from a different post must not have been the correct one
im sure im bumping an old thread, but im trying to unlock an old espresso, but its having the same issue as the OP, i cant find the RUU with the new hboot, it currently has the 1.02 hboot, any clues?
Have you tried following the steps I referred to ?
Look at my two posts.
In fastboot, What is displayed besides the hboot version ? Something like "unlocked" ?
If note you have to re-flash your hboot with HTC dev method, once again read the post I linked to.
Sent from my Legend using XDA
just to add that on my MyTouch 4G slide I had hboot-1.44.0007 and gave me the same error as the first post when trying to unlock through htcdev.com. I did an OTA update to HBOOT-1.45.0013 (Software version 1.63.531.2 710RD) then went back to htcdev.com and it worked without problems
Getting this while trying to re-unlock evo 3d ics. hboot 1.58.
It's an old thread but maybe it's helping someone...
If you receive the error described in the topic title/first post you need to simply register to htcdev dot com and follow each step(including the 1st step because that's actually what you need to do )
i got same problem w my Z3 plus hbot will work on my z3 plus????????
Hi all,
Im wanting to return my desire S back to stock as much as possible. I guess that getting back to complete stock (s-off/s-on, carrier lock etc) might not be possible, but can anyone point to a guide that will work.
I saw this thread but it has been removed and locked bizarrely -

I did a search and ive had a browse but couldnt see anything.
Any help is much appreciated!
cheers!
p.s. thread title error - return* my bad!
by the way i tried the following -
Im in the UK on vodafhone so I ran RUU_Bravo_Vodafone_UK_1.19.161.5_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126338_signed.exe
and got error 155
So i tried extracting the rom from the RUU. whilst running i had to go to temp files and get the rom.zip, renamed it to PG88DIAG.zip which is recognized by fastboot, but this did not work. got a very quick pop up of wrong image etc (after taking a while to load it)
So im not sure where to go. Its currently S-On, is that the problem?

Hello all, I apologize if this or similar has been posted ahead of time. I've have been searching the forums and Google for the past 4 days trying to figure this out. I'm lost...
Just to be known, I am not a "complete" noob on rooting/hacking phones. I am however a noob on this Sensation..
So a few days ago I got this phone. I had all intentions of running rooted custom roms. I've followed every turtorial I could find on it. I see there were two ways: Through SDK and the All-in-one kit v1.0
I tried using the SDK first... the problem I had with it was I would get a "failed to fetch URL"
So I would have to close down. Then after that I couldn't get "revision 5" to load up to tick on it.
Obviously it wasn't working correctly or somthing was wrong with drivers? I did install HTC Sync AND latest Java.
I dunno?
Next I went to use the All-In-One toolkit
Seemed better and easier. I went through the steps of unlocking the Bootloader - DONE!
Next I went to flash recovery.. Well I got stuck. It wouldn't load.
Well this next step is probably where I went wrong...
I was trying to move clutter off my desktop and was clicking on things... I happen to hit the "Stock kernel" button. Wouldn't be a problem except the tool kit is used for the HTC One X (although it is said to also be used for the Sensation). I'm thinking maybe I loaded thr One X kernel?
Basically, after that I am stuck on the HTC wite screen. I can get into bootloader, Fastboot, and now CWMrecovery (although recovery is giving me issues too. Can't mount USB and half the time wont run SuperWipe, will say aborted status 1 and sometimes 7)
There is current rom in the phone so I cannot boot into anything and I wasn't able to do "perm root" because of my accident.
I'm stuck and I've run out of options. Is it bricked? What can I do to get back to stock to atleast start over and get S-OFF?
I do have the OTA ICS update 1.27 if that helps.
Please, any help is greatly appreciated!!!!

if you are trying to flash 4ext recovery then did you open the command prompt in the folder where adb and fastboot files are located?
if yes then did you have installed htc drivers?

big mistake that you used kernel from that tool
i used the same tool to root my device but never flashed that kernel because it is for one x
never do steps that are not mentioning

Were you able to get a backup of the original config, (before you first rooted it?)
(I have the same phone, same radio, (hboot 1.57), for NTelos, and am able to boot, but just no wifi/mobile data).. So, if you have a good backup, I might be able to trade a stock kernel that works for my phone.

Hey! Just restore your Radio back to stock. Google "RUU Stock for HTC ONE V VM" and there are some articles that could help you. Basically, you just run the RUU and extract some files in it.

So guys, if you still have this problem here' what you'll need to do.

About HTC Sync: The only reason you need HTC Sync installed is for the USB drivers that come with it. But the program itself has been known to cause conflicts. Make sure that HTC Sync is not running in the background by opening Task Manager in Windows and killing it if you find it lurking in there.
Here we go:
First of all, google "RUU of HTC ONE V CDMA" or sumthing. then you'll find alot of things. Choose the SPRINT/VM Then:
1. Download the correct RUU for your device from Football's Primo Shipped ROM Collection.
2. Charge the battery above 50% or for at least one hour. If the battery dies during the flashing process, you could hard brick the phone!
3. Run the RUU until the wizard comes up. While the RUU wizard is open,(LET IT OPEN UP, DONT DO ANYTHING!) find the temporary folder it created. (Open Explorer in Windows and type %temp% in the navigation bar.) There will be two folders with long encrypted names. In one of them you will find ROM.zip. Open it with 7zip and extract recovery.img or recovery_signed.img. Put it in the location were you've installed Android SDK tools. This is the stock HTC Recovery and it is needed to run the RUU.
4. Boot the phone into bootloader (power off, hold down volume and press power) and highlight FASTBOOT/B] using the volume rocker and pressing power. Then connect the USB cable. You should see FASTBOOT USB.
5. Open a command prompt in Windows and navigate to the folder where you installed Android SDK tools. Flash the stock recovery extracted in step 3 above using the following command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
or
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img
6. Relock the bootloader using the following command:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
7. Re-run the RUU. It will restore the device to it's original condition, locked (though *** RELOCKED ***) and unrooted.
Once the install is done you'll have unlock the bootloader again using the token you already have from the first time, reflash CWM Recovery and re-root. All this will be 10x easier than the first time.
If you do re-root your phone, be 100% you backup the stock ROM in ClockworkMod Recovery before making changes!
