[Q] Desire S problems after flashing RUU

Hi Guys.
Before i start i want to mention that i searched everywhere and basically all these technical guide's and terms makes me even more confused and i don't really know what to do with this problem i have.
Ok here we go, last night i S-Off and Rooted my cousin's HTC Desire S with (revolutionary-0.4pre4 and Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed).
-Revolutionary-
SAGA PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-6.98.1002
RADIO-3822.10.08.04_M
eMMC-boot
Mar 10 2011, 14:58:38
So far so good, this all worked fine. No problems.
After that i installed the "RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.5_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_219480_signed"
It was successfully flashed but here is where the problems started, after this i got the famous "stuck on white background with green HTC Logo"
Now to make things worse, i cannot access SD Card from the phone and it will not recognize my phone anymore from my PC (with ADB drivers installed).
The only thing that does work and recognize my phone is the "Fastboot USB" mode on my phone along with the "
ROM Upgrade Utility (RUU) - Aruwizard.exe"
I got a tons of errors and problems.
1. HBOOT gives
SD Checking...
Loading... [PG88DIAG.zip]
No image!
Loading... [PG88DIAG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Loading... [PG88IMG.zip]
2. in Recovery menu the following problems occur
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
Wipe data/factory reset gives
E:Can't open /data/cwpkg.zip
E:Can't open /data/cw.prop
E:Can't open /cache/cwpkg.zip
E:Can't open /cache/cw.prop
Apply update from sdcard gives
-Invalid Operation-
Also i seem to have lost a few options in recovery after the RUU like "install zip from sd card" etc
My question is : Is there anything that can fix this or did the RUU bricked it completely?

I believe before flashing you were supposed to do a downgrade HBOOT using ENG HBOOT
Atleast thats what i did!

Revolutionary hboot has protection to prevent it from being overwritten, the way to change the hboot is to write it through recovery, but you also need to flash a recovery option (if none is available), through fastboot.
Basically, check if CWM or EXT4 are installed, if yes flash hboot through recovery (see the last 10 pages of the ENG HBOOT thread), if no, flash recovery through fastboot (see google), once recovery is installed, flash hboot, then proceed with RUU.

I tried this as well

But no luck either

Most other commands just give a "(bootloader) [ERR] Command error !!!" so i just ended it with "fastboot reboot"
So my guess is that is must have something to do with that HBOOT thing yes.

Problem now is, when i select "Recovery" from the hboot menu.. it gets stuck also at the White background / green HTC Logo screen. so now my recovery part is broken also?

Its all working now, i used the wrong recovery image at first.
I got clockwork recovery to work and from there i could do the HBOOT ENG and a pre-rooted RUU
xAutobot and Zeekiz, thanks for your help. Much appreciated!

wut?

i have exactly the same problem but i do not understand what you did to fix it...
do i need a program for my pc? what recovery did you use? just a simple explanation of what you did because im worried i cant get my phone to work again and im not necessarily a tecnitian... please

I can't remember anymore tbh its been a long time since i did this.
But it had something to do with the right recovery file for your phone i think.
at the clockworkmod rom manager website you can download it.

What you need is, first:
- change the revolutionary hboot for an engineering hboot to allow RUU to overwrite it.
--> https://www.box.com/s/8a14444cd1dc4c91f077
This file contains both original and overalpharevx .img (6.98.2000) you should use this one first. You could use fastboot, android flasher or the PG88IMG.zip (the easy way) included to do that.
when it's done you can safely run the RUU and go back to stock (s-on)
or
you can flash 4ext or clockworkmod using fastboot and enjoy your custom rom.

Bricked HTC Magic? Who is the magician....

Hello XDA-developers,
A few days ago I've received a HTC Magic from a friend of mine.
He tried to flash it to a different software version, but he got stuck.
Now I am stuck with this phone.
I've tried probably all the tutorials on this forum and all the others, but now I'm really desperate.
So please help me.
Here is the situation:
Type of Phone: HTC Magic
Hboot: 1.33.0007 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-10
Radio: 2.22.19.261
The phone cannot access its SD-card in recovery mode(2e).
It gives me the following error:
"E:Can't mount /dev/blcok/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
(No such file or directory)"
It does not boot anymore to the system(it does boot but gets tuck at the lockscreen, where it has no option to unlock).
It's not accessible with adb.
It's accessible with fastboot.
Tried to enable SD with flashboot:
"fastboot oem enableqxdm 0"
But getting:
"...
(bootloader) [ERR] Command error !!!
OKAY [ 0.007s]
finished. total time: 0.007s"
Tried to flash bootloader:
"fastboot boot recovery.img"
But getting:
"downloading 'boot.img'...
FAILED (remote: not allow)
finished. total time: 0.000s"
Tried to copy sappimg.zip to SD-card, but since it's probably not accessible,
it cannot find it in HBOOT-mode so also doesn't flash it.
It's a Dutch Vodafone Branded HTC Magic.
I've been working on this phone for the last 48 hours, I know it's not worthed, but it's the principle
I know the problem is in SPL version, but all the tutorials mention that you update this throught the SD-card, which I cannot access.
Anyone there to help me with this problem?

I can't advise on your solution, but i wouldn't say its bricked if you have fastboot access.
If you post in the general section you'll probably get more help.

My English is bad
tray with fastboot commander (download it)
Find instructions here on how to use the
you're sure to succeed

Thanks for the suggestion,
But my Vodaphone branded HTC Magic still has S-ON AND Standard SPL.
Both things are changeable, but then I thirst have to flash it in some kind of way.
I found out that i am able to read SD with SAPPIMG.zip.
But for now I have not found a zip file that is accepted by this phone.
Can anybody help me in this?
A custom rom is not an option until the recovery mode has been changed to CWM, for now it is still recovery 2e, and cannot read my SD-card.
Thank you!

Did you try this command to unbrick?: sudo ./jet -u

Yes i did try the ./jet -u command but i cant get in to QHSUSB_DLOAD anymore that is the stock cid for the one x ? if thats the case maybe i can run de 1.85 RUU?

Did you try the hardware key way? Same as bootloader, but power and vol +
Practically gave myself a heart attack yesterday. Someone here was having trouble getting into bootloader, and mentioned power and vol +. I couldn't remember what that did (knew it wasn't bootloader) so I did it, and put the phone in Qualcomm download mode!
I was able to get back to bootloader, recovery, and reflashed the ROM that happened to be on my phone.

No. What I meant was your cid isn't supercid anymore. And I wouldn't use that RUU since your hboot is 1.14; wait till someone more experienced helps you out

I've actually never used JET, and not quite sure how it works.
But power and vol + will put the phone in QHSUSB_DLOAD in most situations (nothing to do with JET), if that is all you are trying to do. Similar to how power and vol - boots into bootloader. Just curious if it would still worked in your "bricked" condition.

Are you able to get into fastboot? If so just use stock RUU to get back to stock,

thats the thing, i can get in to fastboot, try to run the 2.20 RUU starts and maybe 1 minute later it fails, and gives a ERROR [131] i google it and it seems to be because the cid its not the correct one anyone knows if there its a way to bypass the cid verification?

Try this thread. I think there is a way to use the stock recovery and the cid you used to unlock it. May give you some ideas.

i check all of them, but i just cant get to unlock my bootloader again or flash a different cid, not even flash the recovery, y guess its because i relock my bootloader

download a ROM.. put it in your fastboot folder,
boot into fastboot and try this
fastboot flash zip name_of_rom.zip <-- this works with HTC RUUs, may work with an actual ROM.. Use at your own risk, I have never tried it with a custom ROM.

You can try to find the cidnum for the htc onexl and see if you can trick it by editing android-info.txt file to match cid num.
Example:
edited android-info file
modelid: PG3213000
cidnum: KT___901
cidnum: HTC__004(this edited file only)
mainver: 2.32.1010.1

[Q] My htc one sv will only go to boot loader

so my phone froze today so I took out battery and turned it on and all it does is go to the boot loader.
So I decide to try recovery all this does is flash android logos and then back to same screen,
Next I try factory reset and same flashes to android logos and back to same screen
After reading this forum
I then go through the process of unlocking my boot loader via htc dev the process goes great I receive email etc etc
The final process should bring up a disclaimer on my screen but nothing
So my question is wtf what do I do?
Please help me

Check the guide at HTC side if you have done everything correctly, all is written how it should or copy and paste.
Without unlocked bootloader, there is no chance to rescue your phone.
Any information about your phone model and exactly the step it fails is important, too.

this problem has such a friend, and it does not solve constantly locked bootloader ...

Does anyone solved this problem?The same situation of my phone?Please help!

Hi,
i flash 2.8.4.0twrp, then make backup, after that (whit in recovery options) try to make factory reset, and after that my one sv is messed up like hell...
It is not booting...stuck for a while at htc logo, screen goes black, then loads bootloader, I am able to go to twrp (I have fresh backup of complete phone, did it with twrp above), but not able to flash anything...it fails every time, saying that is unable to mount cache...try advance wipe, but it is not able to mount any thing...
Since my phone was S-off, unlocked bootloader, superCID (it is k2ul), hboot2.0, I tryed with fastboot oem relock (to lock bootloader, and flash stock pl80img.zip) but that fails too, ends up with to many links message...and bootloader stays with tampered and unlocked sign...before flashing 2.8.4.0twrp phone was working great, but after factory reset it is not able to mount anything, and running pl80img.zip gives me all so only fail...fail...fail...
So..now i have latest twrp and totaly messed up phone...
How can U help me, anny advice???
THX in advance!

It is possible that you have problems with partitions.
Before unblocking, do order using RUU.
Have you tried to install fresh ROM by RUU?
Have you read this post for example?
