i have a deisre s from three (UK) which i s-off'ed myself.
the updated completed fine, but crashed when it reboted, now my desire freezes at the htc logo screen, if i press the volume down button and try to go to recovery i get a red triangle and exclamtion mark.
any ideas please?

Which method did you use to gain s-off, revolutionary? What is your current hboot?
I'm suggesting it's still 6.XXXX, downgrade your hboot and run the ruu again.
Recovery isn't present cause a ruu puts you back to stock, there is only a fault at the revolutionary hboot, it can't be overwritten with standard methods, look at the index thread, there is a downgrade tutorial.

could he try and install fastboot drivers and flash a new hboot/rom/custom recovery or would what the RUU has done render my solution useless..
correct me if i'm wrong...

He can do that if his hboot hasn't changed, but as i understand it, he wants the ruu.
But another option would be to run the ruu without attached device. Don't close the first window. Search for the rom.zip. Copy it into any other folder. Open it and remove everything except the system.img & boot.img. Rename the rom.zip to PG88IMG.zip and flash it from bootloader or flash the system.img and boot.img itself with fastboot. But I don't know if this is what he wants, cause only the system is changed, but not recovery or bootloader.
Hi, i did use revolutionary to s-off, wanted to get rid off the ****ty three branded rom, my
hboot is 6.98.1002
radio 3822.10.08.04_M
can i downgrade the hboot without being able to boot into the phone?
i just want to get it working again, dont mind not having 2.3.5
The easiest way would be to flash a custom recovery image with fastboot (such as clockworkmod), after that download another hboot from here or here.
Extract the hboot.img.
Reboot to recovery. Open a terminal and type
Code:
adb devices
adb push hboot.img /sdcard/hboot.img (be sure you're in the folder where hboot.img is on your harddrive)
adb shell
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/backup.img (backup your alpharev hboot )
dd if=/sdcard/hboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 (flash new hboot )
exit
Reboot to bootloader, there should be 0.98.2000 or 2.00.2002 instead of 6.98.1002, after that you can run every ruu you want, but don't forget, after running a ruu your bootloader is back to s-on.

Oh btw, why you want to use the ruu and not a custom 2.3.5 rom with sense 3 or 3.5, there are as many out there.

didnt know you could backup your hboot good info probably should do that next time i flash a hboot... last one i did was a eng s-off from revolutionary's pvt ship s-off
Since you're revolutionary s-off, you could flash 4ext or clockworkmod recovery, and then flash a custom rom. The official Ruu tries to install latest hboot with new partitioning table (/system and /system/lib are now separated). As revolutionary hboot can't be replaced by ruu, it can't work. Just either flash a custom rom, or flash eng hboot over revolutionary, search for "engHBOOToverARX" in desire s forums. I used that method to get rid of revolutionary hboot.

Software information:
Android Version: 2.3.5
HTC Sense version: 3.0

The first thing I did was to unlock the bootloader using the official tool by htc (just to find out afterwards that this wasn't such a good idea...)
Next step: HBOOT 2.00.0002 DOWNGRADE:
- When I try to use zergRush it's not working (189 zergs and then Hellions bla bla). As i read later on a German page zergRush is not working with T-Mobile branded phones.
- tacoroot also doesnt work. Is it true that it's not working once you used the HTCDev unlocker?
- This workaround didn't work, too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318919
at "Step 2: Modifying the version of your phone" I get "acces denied" after running the command "su".
I'm a total noob regarding Android. I used Windows Mobile before and never had a problem with flashing etc. and I didn't expect that it would be so complicated with Android
I'm very thankful for every hint. Thanks in advance!!
xtc clip will work
But I'd say for now be happy with custom roms and don't worry about s off
Just remember to separately flash boot image
Swyped from my Desire S using XDA Premium
You allready unlocked the Bootloader. But you did a little mistake as you used HTC Unlock Tool. This Method don't set the Bootloader to S-OFF. Now if you want to install a Custom Rom over Recovery you have to extract the boot.img from the ROM.zip and flash ist seperatly in Fastboot.
The best way is to look for a Tutorial to S-OFF the Bootloader after HTC Unlock Tool. Then you will have a complete S-OFFed Boatloader and can isntall a Recovery (for example ClockworkMod via RomManager (from Market/Google Play Store)).
@klausewitz23
Step 1 Install a custom recovery!!!!! (either 4ext or clockworkmod)
Step 2) Use recovery to flash su-3.0.5-efgh-signed
Now you have root and the su command will work
Step 3) Now you can downgrade to s-off
Little point in downgrading though... since you are HTCdev unlocked already.

Thank your for your advice foX2delta! But I cannot install a custom rom since my phone is not rooted. At least that'S the message I get if I try to install ClockworkMod Recovery using the ROM Manager.
HTCDev.com is an official unlock tool for all Desire S variants with Hboot 2.x. The only difference between this and S-OFF is that you need to flash the boot.img of each ROM separately after you flash it, or ROM won't boot.

Flash one of these images via fastboot. You can then use these to flash ROMs. No need for root
my phone is now rooted (i also used the htc unlock methd), then i installed superuser and 4ext but when i reboot into recovery, there comes a black screen with a green sign and after a few seconds the green sign turns into a red one and i have to pull out the battery to restart the phone. i can´t get to run the 4ext recovery...

First post. Hi all. I have rooted phones for years now and am finally at a loss of what to do with this current phone I have. I have a HTC sensation. I just S-offed it and was trying to install clolckwork mod 5.0.0.8 and it says model id incorrect and I am stuck in a boot loop. I must have downloaded 15 different PG58IMG files and they all say the same thing..... model id incorrect. I just got this phone in the mail. Revolutionary S-offed it. Then when it asked "Revolutionary will now ask you to Install clockwork recovery mod after S OFF. Type N and install it manually" from the [Guide] to Installing S-off, Unlocking, ClockWork, Root, SuperCID & S-on. Now I am stuck in a boot loop. Does anyone have any idea of how to get this phone working again??

I have successfully rooted a HTC sensation before. My phone got stolen out of my work truck and this is the replacement phone I just got yesterday and was going to do go through all the stuff to install android revolution HD on it. and right after s-off it boot looped. Next step was to install clockwork mod and thats where im stuck. I have no recovery installed because that was the next step. Any insight/help appreciated thanks
If you a have sd card adapter, you can download CWM Recovery form Here rename it PG58IMG and put on the root of sd card.
Put your sd card back into the phone and reboot in bootloader and it will install recovery. When you are done, delete or rename PG58IMG from sd card.
Btw what is your model Id?
Download terminal emulator from the market and detect it by typing "getprop ro.mid" (without quotes).
Inside the PG58IMG there is a text file with MID and CIDs which you could eventually edit in case of mismatch.
Hope it helps!
Also, instead of CWM you could try installing 4ext

Ok I will try that. I looked under battery on my phone it say PG58100. SInce I cant get into my phone because of the boot loop I cannot download that program you mentioned. So should I open the android-info.txt in the PG58IMG and change
modelid: PG5813000

and then try the update?

If you have adv setup and can boot to bootloader
you can try installing 4ext recovery using fastboot commands.....here is link for touch recovery image

Command
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using XDA
Just wondering if you flashed a wrong PG58IMG (ICS firmware instead of recovery).
You are on ICS firmware now but your rom is a GB I guess. This can be the reason of boot loop.
If this is the case read carefully and download the right PG58IMG (firmware 1.17 if your rom is a Gingerbread) from here.
Unfortunately all the bootloader flashable zips are named PG58IMG, but their content is different.
Heres what I did. Took phone out of the box. turned it on. used it for a couple minutes. Then I did the whole revolutionary s-off process. Then I did this
-----------------------------------------------
STEP 2. To INSTALL Recovery - v5.0.0.8
1. Download recovery v5.0.0.8 for the Sensation HERE: or Multiupload
2. Copy the PG58IMG file into the Root folder of your SD card (The main Folder of your Memory Card)
3. Turn off your phone FUlly and reboot into the Bootloader/HBOOT screen (see post above on how to get to hboot screen)
4. Press Volume up to Accept when it asks" Do you want to start the update"
5. Press Power Off to Reboot back to android after installation is successful (normal screen with homescreen)
6. Delete PG58IMG from your memory card and you can now root using step 3 below or install a custom ROM using CWM (Customs Roms are already rooted)
--------------------------------------------------
I downloaded the older 5.0.0.8 because it worked for me in the past when I rooted my old HTC sensation.
Now its saying no image even though I renamed it to PG58IMG.zip
And it still stuck on a loop. SO alls I did so far was s-off a brand new phone.
Thank you all. Phone is back to normal. I did the 1.17 firmware that kualmente mentioned. So now my phone is a stock phone but just S-off'd. The next step is to install a recovery. Do i even have to install clockwork mod or can I just put on 4EXT recovery? if so how. I was just following directions from this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
And step two says to install clockwork mod so thats what I was going to do. but I know i need 4EXT later anyway to install android revolution
I personally prefer 4ext touch recovery but basically both cwm and 4ext have same functions.
There is a nice tool to easily install 4ext recovery touch HERE
I'm all back up and running android revolution 6.5.5

You flashed the firmware (otherwise you wouldn't have hboot 1.27).
Most probably you did'nt flash the rom and you are still on GB. This is why it bootloops.
Did you install a custom recovery (cwm or 4ext)? If not do it and then flash the rom from recovery

Does this hboot makes more complicated to flash roms? I've read that is not possible to format system/lib, so some roms have to be changed. How to delete system/lib then?
Is it advised to stay on that hboot or should be downgraded or s-off?

You can stay on that hboot and use 4EXT Recovery to format /system/lib. It will remain empty when you flash a ROM that is not supporting it so there is nothing to worry about
EDIT: I may be wrong, just saw the post in Scanob thread. But you can test it. Make a nandroid backup (and/or put a ROM on the SDcard), wipe /system/lib from recovery and reboot. If the ROM boots then it is true (/system/lib cannot be wiped). If does not boot (then /system/lib is wiped) reboot back to recovery: "adb reboot recovery" - you need USB debugging enabled in ROM and adb drivers on the PC or with the 3 key combo (hold Vol Down + Vol Up + Power) and restore the backup or flash the new ROM
Can anyone confirm that /system/lib can't be wiped or formated with hboot 2.02.0002 ?
I'd like to try the stock ICS update but I'm afraid that the RUU will replace my hboot (2.00.0002 unlocked) with hboot 2.02.0002.

Did you try to flash your boot.img in CLI with fastboot like you did when you installed your cutom ROM ?
Edit : Your question has nothing to do with the subject of this thread (Hboot 2.02.0002 ).
The RUU ICS Update installs:
hboot: 2.02.0002
radio: 3831.19.00.110
This also prevents me from updating cause i´m also afraid that rooting and installing custom roms won´t work afterwards.
Is there an opportunity to downgrade from 2.02.0002 to another hboot and install a previous RUU to root it via revolutionary for example?
I'm no expert but, I have HBoot 2.00.0002. HTC dev unlocked. And I have had no problem flashing any rom. I have tried Andromadus, Flinny, NK111, Codename android, and I'm currently using Jelly Time R15.0 as my daily use rom.
I'm not afraid of not being able to root my DS after the ICS RUU. I would be able to unlock the hboot again, flash ext4, then install SuperSu from the recovery.
I'm just afraid that the 2.02.0002 hboot will make it difficult for me to install custom ROMs in the future if this hboot restricts effectively the acess to /system/lib. But I would also like to try the new radio of the ICS RUU.
The alternate path I'm considering to follow is downgrading my hboot, S-OFF by revolutionary, flash hboot 2.00.2002, then flash stock ICS using a PG88IMG.zip where hboot and recovery would be removed.

Yes, this hboot makes it more complicated to flash ROMs because you have to flash the kernel - boot.img - separately using fastboot. But if the ROMs all share the same kernel, then you can skip this step.
The hboot has the extra system/lib partition, but that is only used by the latest stock HTC GB OTA and the HTC ICS RUU. Custom ROMs generally don't use it.
This partition can be formatted, for example using 4EXT, just like the other partitions.

I personally found that it couldn't flash custom roms without s-off due to being unable to write the /system directory. I had to downgrade the RUU so that I could get S-OFF with revolutionary in order to be able to. If you are upgrading with the ICS stock ROM you won't need to, but you will need to re-lock your hboot to flash the RUU

Yeah, I have hboot 2.02.0002 with htc dev unlock and I can write to /system without issues.
Must be something else wrong.
I'm sending this phone back for warranty (sim card error), and I can't seem to be able to get it back to stock. I've searched all over this site, so any help would be great!
This is a Telus phone, CID: TELUS001. Unlocked with viper rom installed. I can't seem to read my version, as fastboot getvar version-main does not return anything.
From the RUU download pages, only the Telus OTA is available for my phone.
I've tried numerous RUU's, but as expected, I'm getting version errors. I have also tried flashing the OTA over stock recovery, but the recovery can't recognize my SD card (not sure why). SD card is working properly though.

I'm sending this phone back for warranty (sim card error), and I can't seem to be able to get it back to stock. I've searched all over this site, so any help would be great!
This is a Telus phone, CID: TELUS001. Unlocked with viper rom installed. I can't seem to read my version, as fastboot getvar version-main does not return anything.
From the RUU download pages, only the Telus OTA is available for my phone.
I've tried numerous RUU's, but as expected, I'm getting version errors. I have also tried flashing the OTA over stock recovery, but the recovery can't recognize my SD card (not sure why). SD card is working properly though.
Other phone info:

Telus did not release an RUU for that software version on our phone. So OTA is the only way.
So to do this properly as you are not S-OFF
download the OTA
extracted the recovery from the OTA & flash it
then fastboot erase cache
then relocked the bootloader
Then flash the zip through stock recovery.

Ok that's what I figured. I have done exactly this, but when I get to stock recovery I'm getting "SD card can not be found" errors. So using the OTA isn't possible right now. Do you know any other way?
I'll try and figure out the SD card error and go from there I guess.
Thanks for the info!!

fastboot erase cache
Wipe SD card
Fastboot flash stock recovery
Fastboot erase cache
Relock
Try again.
what is the solution for the at&t htc one x? I am running the viper rom and would LOVE to restore this back to factory settings. I am not sure if I am s-on or s-off but after I installed viper rom I didnt touch any of the settings if that helps. I am slightly noobish when it comes to this so the simplest directions would definitely help!

You need to S-OFF first. Check if you are S-OFF in bootloader, if not, S-OFF then run any ATT RUU for the oneXL.
If you attempt to RUU without achieving S-OFF you will brick.

So I extracted the recovery from the OTA and followed the steps, but in the recovery menu I'm still getting:
Mount SDCARD failed 1 times
Mount SDCARD failed 2 times
Mount SDCARD failed 3 times
Mount SDCARD failed 4 times
Mount SDCARD failed 5 times
Can not mount SD Card.(No such file or directory)
Using any of the "apply" menus in the recovery brings up an error and my phone is rebooted.
I've tried it 3-4 times now. Any suggestions?
Thanks again,

As exad mentioned in the above post all the information you will need is located there, it is easy to do best advice is read the instructions several times before you try to s-off.

Ok I will try this sometime this weekend, thanks! Did you have to go the manual route for getting SuperCID? I have tried the batch AT&T file that has been posted, but it won't work for my phone.
You will probably need to downgrade your hboot to be able to write to mmcblk0p4. To do that you would need the jet tool.

I was able to write without downgrading, so far so good!!
Ah good to hear!

After getting S-OFF, the older Telus RUU worked perfectly.
Thanks for your help exad, appreciate it!
Anytime!

I have a similar situation and was hoping to get some advice before I proceed. I need to return my Telus phone to stock to enable enterprise email (the GOOD app checks for root and doesn't access email if root is detected).
My device information is as follows:
Evita PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT - 1.11.0000
RADIO - 0.18a.32.05.01_2
CID: TELUS001
Recovery: TWRP 2.6.0.0
ROM: JellyBam 7.8.0
I have read the warnings about applying an RUU when S-ON and SuperCID, but since I was S-ON without SuperCID, will the method of:
download the OTA
extract recovery from the OTA & flash it
fastboot erase cache
relocked the bootloader
flash the zip through stock recovery
work to restore my phone to stock? Will I risk bricking the phone?
Thanks for the help.

Should work... Yes there is a risk. I would RUU instead of OTA though since the OTA does not flash everything back to stock.
I don't see why you would avoid taking the time to S-OFF though...
