Hi please could somebody help me, I have a Desire S which I got on contract from 02 with a 02 branded rom on there originally and hboot 0.98.0002.
I had S-off, 4ext recovery, upgraded to hboot 2.00.0002 and a custom rom installed.
I have flashed a offical RUU RUU_Saga_O2_UK_1.31.206.1_Radio_20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.14_M_release_178935_signed.exe
and now I am stuck in hboot and it says **security warning** hboot version 0.98.000
I tried to flash the above o2 RUU again but it says bootloader version error, So I tried RUU 1.28, 1.47 and 2.10 with a gold card in the phone but the same error all the time.
I have also extracted the rom.zip from each of these and put it onto the goldcard renamed to PG88IMG.zip but then this says MAIN VERSION OLDER and will not flash.
Now I am really stuck on what I need to do, do I need to flash a 0.98.0002 hboot? as at the momment I have 0.98.000, if so how can I do this?
I have lost 4ext recovery, and back to S-On.
If anyone has any ideas I would be really grateful.
Thank you in advance
Cheers
edit: I think the bootloader I currently have on the phone 0.98.000 is incorrect ? , it should be 0.98.0000 or 0.98.0002? . As the hboot is S-ON is there anyway I can flash a hboot through using adb, or does it have to be S-OFF, if so is there anyway I can S-OFF in bootloader or fastboot alone, as I can't do anything else.
I think that the O2 RUU that you have used has an older hboot version (0.98.0000) than the version that was on your phone when you s-offed.
But with the Goldcard you should be able to flash it. So try another SDcard to create a goldcard, as far as I know not each one is suitable.
Do not try RUU for other brands/regions you may end up with a bricked device.

Hi thanks for your reply, I currently have 0.98.000 hboot on the phone now which is S-ON. My gold card seems to be working as it doesn't say any CID errors.
How can I tell if my device is bricked?
I can only get into hboot, and fastboot/stock recovery. The phone won't do anything else and I can't flash any rom as it says about the bootloader version, but on the bootloader it says **security warning** at the top. Is there anyway I can flash a newer hboot? or won't it let me as it is S-ON, if its S-ON will I be able to flash a hboot or even 4ext recovery to flash a rom?
If so how can I s-off just using bootloader and fastboot?
I thought goldcard is only to bypass the CID checks so you can flash a debranded RUU.
It is not exactly clear: have you tried to extract the rom.zip from the O2 RUU, rename to PG88IMG.zip and flash in hboot?
Also you have to be completely sure that your version is the O2 one.
Follow the guide in my signature to make fastboot working on your PC.
Then connect your device to the PC while in the hboot. There should be 'FASTBOOT USB' written on the phone screen.
Then open a command prompt on your PC and type:
Code:
fastboot devices {your serial number should appear}
fastboot getvar all
Post here the output that is printed in the cmd.

Hi, I have done the fastboot commands you said and below are the numbers I got:
fastboot devices - serial number which came up is: HT15NTJ00403
fastboot getvar version-main: 11.10.401.4
Can you help me?
Do you think my phone is bricked?
Thank you for your help with this
Try to put last rom.zip on sdcard with PG88IMG.zip name from version 2.10.401.8 RUU and maybe you will have new hboot 2.00.2002 and then have to unlock hboot from http://htcdev.com/.

Cannot tell that it's bricked but now your software version is 2.10.401.4.
So you have to use a European RUU with the same version or higher. Probably you have debranded your device without an intention to do so.
Try with the RUU. If this is not working maybe you can try to flash hboot through the fastboot.

Hi, I have tried RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.8_Radio_20.4801.30. 0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_225161_signed.exe using the RUU on the laptop and tried extracting the rom.zip, renaming as PG88IMG.zip and flashing off sd card (goldcard), but the RUU said bootloader version error and flashing the PG88IMG.zip says main version older error.
There isn't a 2.10.401.4 version, but there is a
RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.5_Radio_20.4801.30. 0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_219480_signed.exe
I would of thought the 2.10.401.8 should of worked?
also would I be able to flash a hboot being S-ON do you think?
I'm not sure how low my battery is also, If I plug it into the charger will it charge the phone on the bootloader do you know?
Thanks

Ok so we have a nice mess here.
Your hboot and radio are still from the O2 RUU, but the main version changed to the European one. The cid is still O2 one (but with the goldcard it should not matter).
The security warning gives a chance that you are still able to have root.
So if you can enter the recovery you may be able to use adb as root.
Do the procedure, described here
If you can get the misc.img, after opening with Hex editor change the numbers to 1.31.206.1. Save the file, copy it to you SDcard and from adb flash it back:
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/misc.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17
Then try the O2 RUU again.
Do not make attempts to change the hboot yet. Try the above and post back
The phone should be charging when you connect it to your PC.

Hi there, I have tried adb devices but it doesn't come up with my device which is strange. Maybe because my device is S-ON?
Do you think if I took it to a mobile repair shop and had it jtagged to restore original software would do the trick?
thanks
Both adb and fastboot commands are working on S-ON devices.
To use adb your device should be in Recovery mode (you can enter there from the hboot menu).
Of course you can bring it to a repair shop if you do not want to mess it yourself.

Obviously adb is not working in Recovery on S-ON devices. Sorry for misleading. I have just tried on my device, the adb works while booted to OS but not in Recovery.
I am afraid that doing anything further can brick the phone completely and the repair shop is your best option.

I can't get adb to see the device, fastboot will do though but won't flash hboot, it says remote signature fail.
Looks like im going to have to send the phone off to be J Tagged. I have found a shop that does this for £24.99 and they know there stuff.
But if anyone has anymore ideas please let me know.
Thank you amidabuddha for your help, I will keep you updated on any progress.

You can repair it in HTC services or S-OFF again by Xtc-clip (as my HTC before).

So did you s-off with xtc clip, then flash hboot to newer version, flash recovery (4ext or clockworkmod) and then flash a custom rom and all worked?

Sounds like you need to read and do some more research before attempting this.
Just because the HTCDEV.com site doesn't list your specific DesireS version doesn't mean you can't use it.
Part of the unlocking process will involves generating a key on your phone and this is what drives the unlock process, not the selection you made on the HTCDEV.com screen.
Read and search the sticky posts on this forum.
Well, i got some steps forward in this prosses.
I got the bootlock, unlocked, and rooted with super one click, as in this >>http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20701305#post20701305<< guide. but when it comes to the: adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version commend, i get the error: Unable to chmod /data/local/tmp/misc_version: No such file or directory

Did the previous adb push command work? More than likely you received an error and the misc_version file did not get copied to the phone.
no, forst time i got that message was ther, and i tried again, and the same.
Hmm, maybe you can restore a backup from before you tried to root it. Then use this guide to root it again. Look at the discription!
That one worked perfectly for me

This is the guide I used, I had to add a bit to 2 of the commands for mine to work but it done the trick.
When typing.
adb push zergRush /data/local/tmp
I added /zergRush
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp I added /misc_version
Also there are 2 misc file choices in the link, use the second 1 misc_version02 zip, unzip all files into the folder on c:

Mine is S-ON unlocked and rooted
please try to other methods of downgrade/S-OFF. Using the htcdev method has two big disadvantages:
1. You may void your guarantee
2. You will have to flash the boot image after every rom change/backup restore
of course......

Guys is this possible? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1245334 ?? I just found it and it might be helpful to others as well!
If you do this, you have to use a old RUU. That means you are going to install al old version of HBOOT. Revolution can only work with a old HBOOT. But when you install that RUU. You also get a old version of the software and also a old Sense version. You may choose to use that. But i think you do not want that. So after you have done that all, you have to install a new ROM. And you may choose which rom that will be.

Well lets make it clear..Right now i have 2.10.163.5 software version..If i download a newer software version (newer RUU) and instal it will it debrand the phone?(Without using rooting tools and stuff).Because that's what the second link i posted says...
So all you want is debrand the phone. I dont know how to do that. I have seen a few topics about that. I also do not know if you loose your warranty when you do that.
hmm i see mate..Well at least someone who knows should tell us if what i posted is valid and we can do it without bricking the phone..
My buddy dump a Desire S on me which the phone keep rebooting on HTC white screen.Tried Factory Reset but it just reboot imediately.

I'm having hard time to setting up adb to start.I've downloaded a recovery image.
There's nothing on top of PVT.
After some reading i worry thaat i'll screw it up if i flash the recovery without S-off and unlock bootloader.
I read somewhere that i could download a file from htcdev kernel section and flash but how to flash?i downloaded it.which program i should use to flash the file?
Get a newer RUU and flash. Check the CID and download the correct RUU for your CID.
And stop worrying so much, otherwise you won't fix anything. Flashing with different radio won't do a thing, as well as flashing a different RUU as long as you have goldcard. But since you don't have, just look for the correct RUU.
It seems like its hboot 98, just do the revolutionary ?
Sent from my HTC Desire S CoolDroid v6.0 via XDA Premium
Also a good solution. Just need to move to FASTBOOT screen.
Bluehawk, just go on with www.revolutionary.io , it will root and s-off the device. No need guide link, just open the web, and it will show you the guide, step by step, newb friendly. But remember to choose the right option, imei and sn.
By then, after complete revolutionary, be happy and fastboot flash any recovery image.
Kinda lucky situation, already hboot 98, easy to handle i think. Unless the device soft/hard bricked already.

Hye guys,first of all im amazed to see so many replies/solutions given by u guys.
Alright,i've do tried to s-off using revo but i couldn't get my device detected by revo,sigh.Tried many times but it still BLINKING ON WAITING FOR DEVICE.Tried on another pc,same result.I've installed all the driver and updated my device in device manager.On my phone,If enter vol-|power on hboot/connect usb/my device manager detects as ANDROID BOOTLOADER INTERFACE and when i entered fastboot it detects as MY HTC.I don't know where i'm doing it wrong.Or its some chip fkd up?
Now,i've installed adb/fastboot on my windows7 and adb seems not working but fastboot going good.Here's some info i've got while typing some commands:
Fastboot device - HTC14ctxxxxxx (simply typed it xx,security purpose?idk lol)
CIDNUM - HTC_621
Emmc should be Sandisk
Version-main 1.31.950.2
If possible i really wanted to S-off it so that i could flash custom recovery etc,not much hassle as official i guess.So yeah,revolutionary not detecting my device.Maybe i guess because the phone had not set to debugging etc or so prior it went dead?
So should i download a RUU and flash?which one should i go for with above cid?can i flash with fastboot command?which command should i use to locate a RUU?
Sorry guys,i'm new with android and htc.hope u guys could pardon my noobies.
Revolutionary might be running in ADB mode by default, and that's the reason it's not detecting your phone - you can't boot to the state when ADB is functional, ADB daemon starts running when the kernel is booted already. Since Revolutionary is an executable, it's not possible to manipulate it into starting directly in fastboot.
In that case, I guess, you're left with flashing the RUU.

here's my step to revo, I pull the batt for 5 sec, put it in, and boot into hboot/bootloader . Top option is fastboot, i selected it and it will change to fastboot usb. then plug in usb . and it detect my HTC DS.
note : HTC Sync installed, and HTC Fastboot driver installed in order to get it work.
EDIT : Jack_R1 is right maybe. For your HTC DS, it's taiwan made, so search for oldest htc asia ruu.

My suggestion.
If you don't want to run into any problem try to make goldcard. It is easy. Use google search, and search for android gooldcard how to.
If you have a laptop, or cardreader it'll be a easy step.
Also before you run the RUU boot the device into fastboot. By volume down +poer button.
Don't worry.
I've messed my phone before and fix it without breaking it!
What you shouldn't do is pull out and rapid back in the battery while the phone stays at the white screen.
You can burn out the emmc chip that way.
[email protected] for the link buddy.I'll try it once i've prepared a goldcard,just incase.
[email protected] the midst of making a goldcard.Since i cant make goldcard on my phone,Tried readcid and goldcardhelper downloaded and plug my sd direct to laptop card reader but non working.I'll find someone who own an android phone and make golcard in their phone.
Appreciate you guys!Simply the best guiding forum!
UPDATE:
Got hold of a Samsung Galaxy SII,insert my 2gb unmount erase and did GoldCard Helper.I've got 2 CID as below:
mmc1:aaaa XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
mmc0:0001 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Which one should i use to create goldcard image?
Finally,the phone is up and running good!
I tried to make goldcard but not sure of the cid i should use to create image.
Went on to flash the RUU as per suggested by anaz and the phone came to life!I really appreciate everyone of you for the guide and advise.Thank you guys!
Hi everyone. I need help because I'm stuck in bootloader with the ***Security Warning*** on top. I was trying to get back to stock for warranty.
I had Fallout rom, so I flashed hboot following this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1460713
and then I ran the ruu I used for downgradng earlier, named RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.11_M_release_177977_signed.exe
that's when troubles started, the procedure aborted with the error 140 Bootloader version error, and now I can't get it recognised via adb ( command adb devices) and I don't know what to do.
The hboot says:

It seems that you missed to change your main version (misc_version)
See your current version with "fastboot getvar version-main" and use a RUU with the same or higher version
Even it adb devices doesn't recognise the phone?

Of course it will not. It works only in custom recovery or booted OS with USB Debugging enabled.
Use the fastboot command from my previous post in bootloader. It has to be in FASTBOOT USB mode
Sent from my HTC Desire S

Follow this to get back to stock.
I think u need to be S-Off, not sure if u can on hboot 2.22
Edit: try revone to s-off first then follow the instructions
You should flash your phone,i think
Revone attempt with S-On Unlocked Tampered
I believe I have the exact same issue, after trying to install TWRP and changing to CWM Touch. I tried to run Revone through ADB and the commands seemed to work but when I reboot I am still S-On and Tampered. I would love to hear if anyone get's this to work. Thanks.
Do what Everest said.
Mind you what I would do is get twrp onto phone make sure your bootloader is unlocked and then flash a zip with twrp and with zip on usb via otg.
Will Try

Thanks, i'll work on that first and then try Revone if needed. I've used recovery successfully on older models so I get that process. Newby question on the use of fastboot flash: I am seeing reference to use of the flash command which I understand - followed by going into recovery and installing the zip for the same file. If that is the correct 1-2 step for a rom fine, but where do I find (file location) the zip that I flashed in the first step? I'm sure it's easy, I can run with the basic pointers once I hear them. Thanks!!

TWRP install zip, sideload, rumrunner
Thank you for your patience! Maybe I should provide more details:

Installed TWRP 2.6.3.0 and runs, I notice on recovery boot shows E: unable to mount '/cache'
When trying to install rom.zip (which is JmzM4_stockrooted_deodex_att) I get this message:
checking for md5 file...
skipping md5 check: no md5 file found.
updating partition details...
E: unable to mount '/cache'
I tried ADB SIDELOAD before getting rumrunner, message is failed to write data 'protocol fault (no status)'
Finally I attempted Rumrunner after checking ADB devices which does return (my serial number) recovery
Resulting message:
please wait.........................
ERROR: run rumrunner again and READ (no adb connection to device. Debugging on? Drivers?)
Even though ADB sees the device in terminal.. I'm not sure what to make of that.
It's probably something simple I missed like needing a new boot.img or creating a file or script.
That is where I don't have experience. Again thanks for your patience!! Learning.
Are you sure your bootloader is unlocked?
Looks like it's reading different partition.
Good luck.
Unlocked

Could it be a fake flag? I def had it unlocked, and believe I relocked it when I started having issues. Then I think I used revone to change the flag. I may as well jump into fastboot and reapply the htcdev token again. How can I tell if it is unlocked after?
Another note. I notice when I exit TWRP it tells me my device is not rooted and offers to install supersu...yet the next time I go in and exit again it says the same thing. The theme that seems to be building here for me is nothing is really able to be applied. Frustrating. I'll get that htc token flashed for now....It sure would be amazing if there was an RUU that I could actually apply. I haven't found one that works.
Unlocked
..By the way, if it helps, I have another exact same model. I just don't want to mess it up trying to get set up to do a backup, especially if the device I am working on won't flash anything anyway.
Anyone help
Can anyone give me an idea of where my main problem begins? As I mentioned, I am s-ON and can't seem to get past that. Since there is no full RUU downloan for this version, I can't just flash that. As it is now I can get adb, fastboot, and rebootRUU access, but no solution is working. I am certain the htcdev unlock worked, but every time I try to flash something I run into an error. I can see a file system if I go in as if I'm going to insall a zip in TWRP but am not sure if it works, the partition log keeps telling me E: unable to mount '/cache'. I also see a message Kernel does not have support for reading SELinux...which I imagine effects sideload options. What can I do? I appreciate any help.
