[Q] SagaS HTC Europe 2.10.401.5 update fail

Few days ago I receive new OTA update 2.10.401.5 on my HTC DESIRE S Europe.
But, after i download the update and continue to install the update after the update finished my device stack at the boot splash screen. my HBOOT version is still 6.98.1002. I don't know what could be the problem? I revert it to the old 1.47.401.4 software version via RUU, but I really don't know why the update failed?
Will somebody please answer my question?

another one??
Jesus Christ...could be problem because ur s-off or maybe htc screwed something ..but cache must be cleaned before reboot thats for sure

You use stock ROM before install the new one?

I think it's S-OFF. Because the latest updates request/demands for you to have HBOOT 2.xx.xx for it to work?

that's revolutionary hboot.
ota update need at least hboot 0.98.2000.

Meanwhile in this thread ...
OP tries to install official firmware on his security off'd phone, what a moron.
You need the official hboot (not s-off, not rooted, STOCK, 2.00.0002) to ensure the OTA works properly (it will of course work without it, but when we tried, certain aspects of the ROM didn't work correctly).
ifelse( is_ship_bootloader(getprop("ro.bootloader")) == "t" , < More ways to laugh at OP.

I solve the problem!

Big thanks to u guys.
I was using this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1187231
I had to S-ON back again and after that perform the update.
It's because the HBOOT version is 6..89.*** and it need to be 0.98.0000 or something.
Trust me! It was fully working for me.
Now I have the new stock 2.3.5 rom on my DS with sense 3.0
There one other problem. I couldn't find any tolls which can gain S-OFF on the new HBOOT 2.*****
So at this stage you can't gain root on mine and your DS with the new ROM.

N00b question on how to Root/flash a Sensation

Hi there
first of all i know: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmvCpR45LKA
So i am completly new here and i tried to root and flash a custom rom accordng to the guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 and here (in german: http://www.pocketpc.ch/htc-sensatio...s-off-flashen-custom-rom-fuers-sensation.html)
however i did not work properly...
My Phone: HTC Sensation with Branded Android 2.3.4 (Provider Swisscom; Switzerland)
here is what i did:
1.) I unlocked the Bootloader with the official HTCDev tool (http://htcdev.com/)
2.) i S-OFF'ed my phone accordng to:
Step 1. To S-OFF your Sensation - (You do not need to do this if you have S-off already or done this before) - WORKING NOW for TMOUS users
Visit http://revolutionary.io/
however, the CMD showed me a "Failure, Live gave you lemons"
i think it was only concening the installation of the clockwork... (???)
3.) i did the CID stuff "fastboot oem writecid 11111111" (afterwards getcid gave me "fastboot getvar cid" 11111111
4.) the i flashed the firmwareupdate from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618
(this one : "Firmware from 3.12.401.2/102 RUU" since i had id 111111111)
5.) the i tried flashing Adroid Revolution HD 6.x (after superwipe) from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14192842&postcount=4
but after rebooting, the phone froze in the white HTC screen for about 20 min or so
6.) superwipe again, and then i flashed Revolution HD 4.1.7 which is working now
my phone sais now: Android Version 2.3.5
HTC Sense: Version 3.5
Software number: Android Revolution HD 4.1.7 by mike1986
and if i enter recovery mode on statup it sais:
*****unlocked*****
Pyramid PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.20.0000
RADIO-11.15.3504.16_M
eMMc-boot
and if i enter recovery, this 4ext touch recovery tool (1.0.0.3 Beta 7) starts
i dont know if i have done it correctly or if i made a complete mess!
i really would like to install the Android Revolution HD 6.0.3 rom but as i said, the phone gets stuck at startup (or do i have to wait longer than 30 min on the HTC screen?!)
can annyone of you pro's see where the mistake was done? or what i have to change, to make the new rom working?
THX so Much
sincerely
N00b swissbone from switzerland

You flashed the wrong firmware for the 6.0.x rom you need to have the 1.23 hboot. Look in the ARHD thread and download the correct firmware for 6.0.3.
Link to firmware: http://tinyurl.com/creec9g

thx... actually i think i have tried both firmwares you can download at the URL you mentioned.. but i think i will try again
could it be anything else?
THX

download again the firmware, check MD5 sum and try to flash firmware again. also update your 4ext beta 8

how do i update ext4 ?
THX

there are two ways. Either you can flash 6.03 again, then you should have beta 8, or find in market "4ext uploader"

thx
there is one problem though...
if i go to cmd-> adb devies, i obly get the answer "List of Devices Attached" but no devie is listed....waht can i do?
THX

Hmm pickle indeed, whats your hboot is it still the same? or does it say something different after flashing new firmware?
if it says 1.20/1.23 you should be able to boot any gingerbread rom and older ICS Leaks,
if you want to boot 6.1.x or insertcoins 4.4.x or any variant of those roms that use the newset ICS leak your gonna need to flash latest firmware which has hboot 1.27

I would download the rom again, I had a few bad downloads before that made my phone not boot up. Oh and his roms take a while to boot just be patient
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium

When he has no Android on his phone, he, isn't be able to flash, isn't he?
Somewhere I saw a posting with a describtion how from WM to Android. I thought I saw it in the ARHD 6.1.0 thread somewhere on page 4790 or so, it's a very huge thread, so start backwards to read is my suggestion

ok, i have 2.3.5 running again...
what have i to do nex? update teh HBOOT and Firmwaren? and then update the 6.1.x ?
THX

so ok i have 2.3.5 running again...
whta do i need to do next to get 6.1.x running?
update the HBOOT and i am good to go? i dont exactly know wat ENG S-OFF is, but do i need it?
THX

ok, when i start my sensation up in recovery mode it says:
Unlocked
Pyramid PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT1.23.000
Radio-11.19.3504.29_2
OpenADSP-v01.6.0.2226.00.1227
eMMC-boot
so what is the next thing to do?
flash HBOOT 1.27 with "debugging enabled"
do i need new firmware/radio ?
BIG THX

SO...i tried it again with USB DEBUGGING activated...
i downloadede the radio ( 11.68.3504.00U_11.21.3504.13_2 ) from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14192842&postcount=4
but when i start this adb tool and try to install the radio it starts the phone in recovery/fastboot (as it shoud) but when i continue with "fastboot flash radio radio.img" it says:
sending "radio" .....OKAY
writing raidio....FAILED (remote: not allowed)
what is wrong?

Edit:
Or, you can check this if you'd like
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2136166a
As an alternative.....

You can use Revolutionary to S-OFF but you need to downgrade your HBoot to 0.98.0000 or 0.98.0002 by installing a v1.xxx RUU . Check this thread to learn how.
Remember to find a correctly branded RUU. You can find a list of RUUs here, which isn't given in the guide.

Thanks
I flashing an official O2 rom, have 155 error. Idea?

have you already used misc_version succesfuly- just checking

I`ve found something- perhaps might be interesting for you
ERROR [155~159]: IMAGE ERROR
One of these error messages will appear when you use the incorrect RUU to update and the image file size is larger than the Flash ROM size. In this case, download the correct RUU version and try again.
Alternatively (in some cases) right click on the file and choose "Run as Administrator"."
(1) You dont have enought battery
(2) You dont use the right RUU that matches your CID
(3) You downloaded a corrupt file (redownload it)
(4) You dont run the file as you phone is in recovery (in fastboot mode)
(5) You didnt relock your bootloader

[Q] [ HTC ONE S Ville C2 ]Update hboot from 2.09 to 2.11 ?

is it possible to update only the hboot ( stuck with 2.09 no RUU's for CID OPTUS001 ) , can it be done just by flashing the hboot img ?
If not is there any other way I can update my hboot ? thanks

Bricking
is there any risk that involves like bricking my phone if i tried to manually flash hboot.img file ?

It's possible that you might brick your phone by updating the HBOOT. I wouldn't do it. Why do you want to anyway?

JB
well I just wanted to try jb that’s all , since there is no 4.0.4 update for my phone I was thinking if I update my hboot from 2.09 to 2.11 I might have a chance installing JB

Installing JB that way will not work. You may want to try installing the RUU.

firmware.zip package from HTC for One S (Snapdragon S3, VilleC2). Follow the instructions, so you will update your hboot, radio, recovery, etc.

the problem is the cid
my cid is BSTAR301 and I can´t find a way to update anything on my phone. I stuck on 4.0.3

[Q] How to choose RUU?

Hi guys!
I have some problem with HTC Sensation. It boots only till HTC logo. And nothing more! On this device isn't OS.
Some guys said that I need to install RUU exe file through computer. I did it but received error 130 (need other version of RUU, I think).
So can you recommend something?
S-ON, hboot 1.18.000, radio 10.14.9035.02_02
Thank you!

What exactly do you mean by "On this device isn't OS".Do you mean you haven't install some custom OS on your device or it has no OS at all.If you have erase the OS the bootloop is something natural.
I did a google search for your radio version and according to this I found answers only on some german forums.So your cid (as long as you are s-on) should be possibly a German or a European one.
You can download the latest Europe version from here and give it a try.
You can find your cid number using fastboot.Just get into fastboot mode of your hboot and give the command fastboot getvar cid.
If your bootloader is HTCDEV unlocked give the commands:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot-bootloader
After that your hboot should say Relocked instead of Unlocked.Then install the RUU.
You could also give it S-OFF using this guide (Does not require HTCDEV unlock method):
[GUIDE] Juopunutbear S-OFF NO HTCDEV UNLOCK | ROOT (1.2x HBOOTS)

If you are S-ON you can use a RUU only with hboot 1.18 in your case

Why exactly he should use an RUU with hboot 1.18?!
I know that the version of hboot can be upgraded normally but cannot be downgraded as long as you are S-ON.If you are S-OFF you can downgrade everything.Also if you want to install an older RUU and you are S-ON you have to use a gold card and you patch the version of the misc partition to an equal or lower one for the RUU you are going to use.
