[Q] Problem with HBOOT 2.00.0002

Hi guys.. I really hope someone can help with this as i am desperate.
I unlocked my Desire S with Revolutionary, then upgraded HBOOT to ENG 2.00.0002. Until now ,after running all roms possible found on this great site, I had the pre-rooted deodexed stock 2.10.401.4
Today I downloaded the RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.5, unpacked copied the PG88IMG.zip to my sdcard and begun update. The update was unsuccessful. Now my device says this:
*** LOCKED ***
*** Security warning ***
SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.00.0002
RADIO_3822.10.08.04_M
eMMC-boot
The phone is stuck is FASTBOOT, and selecting BOOTLOADER only loads again PG88IMG.zip, and of course after "Checking PG88IMG.zip" it errors with Main version is older! <Power> to REBOOT.
IS there anything that can be done? PLS HELP!

If you remove or rename the PG*.... file from the root of your SD card this should stop happening..
Then you should be able to enter recovery, where I'm hoping that you'll have an available Nandroid backup that you could restore to.

Problem is that choosing recovery from bootloader does nothing, just brings me back into fastboot. I think that recovery was wiped during the failed update process.
Also my device is S-on now so i cannot flash a new recovery in fastboot.

Now I'm afraid that I'm a little out of my depth here so won't offer any more advice.......but, you should be able to flash the recovery partition from fastboot...So hopefully all is not lost yet...
EDIT: Apology, only just read that you're S-ON and am not sure what to recommend.

You should look at my guides below. Both will tell and show you how to flash recoveries via fastboot.

Thanks, but before i wrote this question i did read all guides possible, including yours . Problem is I am stuck in fastboot, i cannot boot the phone, use adb or flash anything via fastboot as my device now is LOCKED and S-ON. Also i have no recovery not even stock one...
Smells more and more like a bricked Desire. Damn.

If you have read the guide, you should have known that before you can flash ANYTHING on fastboot, you have to be UNLOCKED first..
You should have tried to unlock it BEFORE flashing anything..
If these doesn't work, then you may be right on your last sentence..
Goodluck!

Before attempting the RUU update with pg88img.zip i had ENG HBOOT with S-OFF, but during that update something went wrong. It managed to update to the official HBOOT 2.00.2002 S-ON, but then i got the "Main Version is older - Update Fail! error and i think I need to send it to HTC as I see no way out of this. What i do not understand is this "Main Version is older - Update Fail!" error! why did this happen in the first place as i was updating from pre-rooted deodexed stock 2.10.401.4 to 2.10.401.5.

Simmilar problem, still wifi not working
I have got simmilar problem on desire s, got revolutionary S-OFF with 0.98 then tryied RUU with sense, something went wrong.. now i have hboot 2.00.0002 radio 3822.10.08.04_M i opened the hboot via HTC development page, then i flashed the newest ROM by Adidas108: RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.5_signed_prerooted SENSE 3.0(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1183684)
now the system is booting properly and i can use the phone again, but the wifi is not working, which sucks because there is newest radio and according adidas108 newest ROM. I havent found solution for this as my hboot is in S-ON now and i cant flash different version of radio. I think first i need to find how to make hboot 2.00.0002 into S-OFF. Anyone any idea?
UPDATE 1: now i managed to install the ROM build 1.28.401 prerooted by Adidas108, everything seems to be working again, even wifi is ok. It is strange that the old ROM is working with newest RADIO and the newest ROM not, does anyone has any reasonable explanation to this issue?

Can you please be more specific on how you dealt with your HBOOT. Did you somehow managed to get it S-OFF. I sure need to flash a new recovery and from there i am good, i can resurrect my phone.

No my hboot 2.00.... Is s-on, i just unlock the recovery it means i can flash roms, but i cant overvrite radio or hboot on its own. I also need a solution how to make my phone s-off, and as revolutionary is only supporting hboot .98 it will not be easy. For now ill better stáy on my old ROM with sense 2.1

I unlocked my bootloader on htcdev. After that my old rom booted up normaly and everythig was back to normal. I then flashed in recovery RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.5_signed_prerooted SENSE 3.0 by Adidas108 and it all works perfectly now since my radio was updated before the error with "Main version is older" in the official RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.5. thanks guys for the help.. i read Skanob guides again and found out about htcdev.

BTW, from my experience it seems that you could update your radio to latest version if you try with the official RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.5. It will probably error "Main version is older" and lock your bootloader, but you could unlock it on htcdev, and enter custom recovery after that and flash Adidas108's RUU. My wifi works perfectly with 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04 radio.

Solution
So finnally my cell is working with sense 3.0. I downgraded hboot to 0.98.0000 thanx to Skanob(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318919), then S-Off with revolutionary, flashed actual clockwork mod recovery, after the newest saga radio and as the last the newest ROM by Adidas108. Everything works fine, even with hboot 98.0002. End of Story

ANyways, Back on topic, I'm trying download HTCDEV for 'all other supported phones' from here:

The problem is, It doesnt download. ANd when i change it to another option it still does sweet FA.
Is there anywhere else download this, Specificully, the all other phones option?
THanks for help and heres to the next annoying captcha

THe main problem though is i've loaded REAPER 2.2 Mod with the 2.21 upgrade but it seems to get stuck on a boot loop while booting up
Any idea's?
SOrry for noob questions, I've never done this myself as i got a friend to do it before. ANd thanks for the help

Dude, you have just unlocked the boot loader.
HTC dev unlock process will not give you S-off, also can cause some warranty issues (don't be disheartened)
Now you need to download a custom recovery and flash it via fastboot.
I would recommend 4ext touch.
Then flash any custom ROM. The guide should have all the details.

I've done that, i used 4EXT_Recovery_v2.2.7_RC5.zip and thats ok. I cleared caches, Changed from 3EXT to 4EXT and then installed REAPER 2.2 then used update 2.2.1 over the top.
So i have 4EXT Recovery installed! I installed the ROM (off SDCARD) with this program and when i reboot it goes into a Boot Loop graphic and stays there.
4EXT Recovery Touch is just a touchscreen version of the one i used no?

Thank you.With that guide I downgraded my hboot by installing RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.47.401.4_Radio_20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199410_signed and revolutionary S-OFF.Flashed recorvery 4ext touch 1.0.0.6 RC1 and flashed Unofficial "Nightly" CM11.0 [20140228] by devil-kin and everything works.No FC com.android.phone.I can select 2G or 3G without problem.I will try tomorrow to change hboot to 7.00.1002 and radio to 20.76.30.0835U_3831.19.00.110 but for now CM11 works without problems.
Update: After reboot got FC com.android.phone.Switched to 3G and reboot and works good.Tomorrow will try new hboot and radio.

Success in flashing new hboot and radio.Having some issues with CM11 so I restored CM10.2.

Hi, in your signature not details, please tell me how i can downgrade HBOOT
I tried htcdev but my rom version is 2.10.401.8 and not listed on there

Is it now possible to S-OFF a Desire S since the revolutionary site is no longer active ? I can unlock the bootloader via HTCDEV but I'd like to get S-OFF if possible ?

Maybe a slightly naive question......but I obviously need to downgrade my HBOOT to achieve S-OFF on the phone via the Rev method.
Can I restore my HBOOT version back to 2.00.0002 without running another RUU through it or is there another method.
My MIUI ROM works OK under 2.00.0002 should expect problems if it it runs under an earlier version ?

Have you tried reset to the default factory, or just RUU with the right version it will overwrite all. [ROM]Shipped Pyramid ROM Collection

Try removing the memcard so that it won't try to load up the new firmware again.

Please any one, correct me if I am wrong. You can not flash 3.32 firmware if the rom does not support it. 3.32 Only works with certain Roms.
Get an ICS rom (Android 4.0.3) flash firmware and then rom. Should be working then.

[Q] Selling my One S, making it stock?

Hi. I'm selling my phone since I've bought HTC One Black. So... is there a way to erase everything and make it as it was stock?
Guess I need to do this:
1. S-Off to S-On
2. Flash this: villec2-jb-crc-3.4.10-055bd56.zip from http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads
3. Remove root
?
I just received an OTA update but it can't be installed, so therefore I want to make it stock so that the new user won't experience any problems...

if the ruu makes any problems while your phone is up, try to boot into fastboot usb and run the ruu again.
dont forget to run the ruu as admin and be sure you have the latest htc sync drivers installed.
good luck

You have to update your HBOOT in order to flash 3.16.401.8 RUU, I've got problems flashing this RUU too. You need hboot 2.15 for this, if you're s-off you can easy update it following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39216236&postcount=274 remember to change your CID to SUPER CID: 11111111 or you may have issues flashing hboot.

yeah it's kind a bug you get stuck at 75%, just type in prompt command:
