[SOLVED] Please help *Security Warning* in Hboot

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?

[help] desire s blocked on logo, hboot and fastboot blocked !

Hello,
Here I have a desire s that is s-off with HBOOT 0.98 and is stuck on the htc logo
I tried to put it into the s-on to install an official rom, but I think the fastboot and HBOOT do not work, because I run an RUU, or I try to flash with fastboot is the phone hangs or I receive an error message like "writing 'recovery' ... FAILED (remote: not allowed)"
I note that I have not access to recovery and I could not flash it
HBOOT blocks when I try to flash it or do an update pg88img.zip from sd card
flash by fastboot also blocks
and when I try to do a factory reset it also blocks
Can somebody help me please ?

no commands are accepted in HBOOT and fastboot

You are trying to flash with fastboot commands from HBOOT screen, and have been unable or too lazy to figure it out by a simple Google search with the words you're reading as the command fails.
Open Youtube, look for a video of any HTC phone that shows how to flash using fastboot, do the same.
Learning to search before posting will save you days that you will spend waiting for answers.

that's what you think, I often flash htc to learn better android system and specially the htc
I typed all the errors I got on google and I still have not found the right solution
So if anyone can help me ...

Identify your hboot version fron your phone's screen.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda app-developers app

hboot: 0.98.0002
Thank's

Strange version. It's not eng HBOOT (eng is 0.98.2000), so fastboot won't work and isn't expected to.
Get into fastboot mode, and flash an RUU (run RUU.exe). Write down and post the error from the log.

when I try to install an RUU it gets stuck on "Trying to reboot in bootloader" and the phone remains locked until I removed the battery
thank you very much

Try to flash an ENG hboot like 2.00.2002 to be able to flash others parts like recovery or any partition.

Even though you start RUU in FASTBOOT screen?
In that case, I don't know if any help can be given. If it locks up upon any attempt to reboot it - something is deeply wrong with it.
And yes, looks like you're unlocked by XTC-clip, it's the only way to get SuperCID (cid=11111111). So no S-ON will be possible anyway. Try to use the warranty on this phone.

yes, I run the RUU in fastbootusb
For the rest I do sauraus tell you how he was flashed
For the warranty I think it is not possible, there is no service htc here, the phone was purchased in another country
You think that there is no solution or there is still hope?
thank you

You could try with the file attached. Rename it PG88IMG.zip, put it on the root of sdcard, reboot bootloader and hit power to accept the update. And ofc hope.

the phone does not want to turn on! and it's not mine!
Is there a way to recover it?!
thank you
P.S: I do not know if the battery has discharged completely, either because I took the battery while the phone was on the htc logo

If you have no led when charging, no vibration, nothing. You have probably fried your emmc chip while pulling out the battery. This is a known problem with the desire S and the worst case as you need to change the motherboard.

when I start charging the red light comes on, and when I remove the charger it stays always on
, but no vibration
Is there a solution to turn it on again?

Sensation not booting into android...radio missing ?

Hey guys,
Recently got a sensation, and i am stuck on the HTC screen.
I was able to get the bootloader unlocked, and installed CWM with no issues. I install roms, but after reboot, it just stays stuc at the white HTC screen.
For some reason, my phone has a unlocked bootloader, has S-ON and will not boot into ANYTHING besides the bootloader and CWM.
Ive tried many stock roms for it, with no luck !
I have also tried flashing boot.img and the PG185 file with ADB, which starts working, but for image i get a error that says FAILED - Remote signature verify failed.

Any help will be APPRECIATED !

You should use the tool at http://revolutionary.io to obtain S-OFF then flash a 3.33 firmware from the thread in the dev section. Then you can flash a ROM. The reason its not booting now is because ICS ROM's wont boot on GB firmware, hence the need to flash the 3.33 firmware

Search the market for 4EXT
or search the dev section for 4EXT (I know for a fact that there is a thread in the dev section for it, its just a few pages in so use the search function)

Jonny,
I did see it on the market, but since its a APK, i cant download and use it.
How can i flash it through ADB ? as that is the only option i think i have. Even CWM is gone now, unless i flash that through ADB too...

Ok,
I have now gotten 4EXT to work on the phone. I am still S-ON and running 1.18 hboot. I tried to flash again through ADB with no luck. How can i obtain S-OFF without having a rom ? I even tried o install a GB Rom, and the same stuff happens, HTC white screen, then reboot.

With s on when you flash you will also need to enable smart flash in your 4ext recovery.

Please how do I update bootloader when am stuck. Is there something for me to flush...how do I flush when recovery isn't working for me. Am totally lost. Please help!
I used this RUU
RUU_Ace_Sence30_S_HTC_WWE_3.12.405.1_Radio_12.65.60.29.26.14.04.28_M_release_225512_signed.
Thanks for the reply friend. I appreciate it...

How did you phone end up in that state? You can only run a RUU that matches your phone's region. To run other RUUs, you need to make a goldcard. You run RUUs from fastboot, not recovery.

Er...this isn't very specific. Try another RUU, one that matches your region.

Am currently in Ghana, Africa....I already tried 6 different RUU...all ending in error130. Could you kindly help me with the link to my specific type of RUU. And u did also mention about my bootloader having to be updated.... To unlock it.

The RUU comes with a bootloader. If you use the newest RUU your bootloader will update as well. I don't know all the RUUs, but there's an index thread in the development forums with a link to a bunch of RUUs. If you cant find a matching one make a goldcard. There's a thread for that in General, I think. And it should match the phone region, not your current region. So it depends where the phone came from.

The bunch of RUUs is where I got that one from. Being the latest but I still end up with error 130. Wrong Rom. I read about making a gold card but I don't thing having the state my phone is now will allow me to do so because I can't access Usb debugging etc. Is there a way to check which RUU is specific to my phone? Using my bootloader information above?

Put your phone in fastboot mode, hook it up to the computer, find fastboot in the SDK in your computer, open a command line prompt, type "fastboot getvar all", paste it here, and make sure to delete the IMEI line. Also, how did your phone get in that state?

An friend accidentally tried to s-off which went wrong. Now I have a brick phone. Still s-on, can't unlock bootloader, can't run RUU because I can't find the right one, tried everything...still white screen.

Wait, how long is it taking for your phone to get into bootloader? And which method did you use: the manual method, the retired AAHK, or the new AAHK2?

It doesn't take that long to get into bootloader. I thought of unlocking the bootloader before installing RUU which didn't work. I got an error on the step that involved token....I tried several time and still got that error. I read about that problem and thought its because of my Hboot version. U said ealier I needed to update my hboot.
I can't even turn on usb debugging or but the phone on charge default. If that was possible I could S-off and flash rom.
I can't use htcdev to unlock bootloader, I can't install RUU, I can't flash recovery because am S-on and am still stuck at white screen. I feel am losing this phone now...

1. You did not make or try to make a goldcard like I said.
2. You did not post the results of fastboot getvar all like I asked.
3. You cluttered up the forums with not one but two new threads instead of continuing in the one you already have.
Reported and giving up.

I apologized for that. I realized it was a mistake to do that. I didn't know how to make a gold card. I tried a software which warrant that the phone be put on usb debugging.

You do need a working device to create a goldcard. BTW, how did you end like this?

I got it in this state from a friend when he volunteered to S-off. Messed up the phone and he has no clue how to fix it.
Am S-on, can't install RUU...tried about 6 different RUUs always ending in Error 130 (wrong ID model). So am trying to create a gold card. But it seem as you said... I need a working phone. I got a working phone got the CID and Reverse CID but can't go paste it in the next step which involve opening up the website because the website seem to not to be working. Am left without how to obtain the IMG image to patch my card and use it to install the RUU rom.
What do I do from here?

[HELP] Messed up with HBOOT. Fail-PU

UPDATE: Phone is in QHSUSB_DLOAD mode. I've tried HTC Unbricking Project but it didn't detect my phone. Also I've tired the Ultimate Recovery tool Unbrick and it also didn't help.
I guess the only solution is JTAG / New phone.
Hello,
I think I'm in a real big trouble.
background story:
I was on ARHD 7.3, S-off, Firmware 3.33 Uni. Suddenly after about a month of use, phone started to lose signal. I could recover the signal only with a reboot (hidden menu options and airplane mode didn't help).
I thought it was a problem with the ROM so I've installed an Official RUU RUU_PYRAMID_LE_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.33.401.153 after installing 3.33.401.x firmware. This didn't solve the problem I had, signal still was going off few times a day and each time I had to reboot. Furthermore, I've lost my IMEI Number, I got a new IMEI number 355195000000017 which I googled and found more people with that number. However the IMEI change didn't interrupt anything.
Realizing that RUU didn't help I've decided to go back to Mike's ROM ARHD 7.3. (after unlocking bootloader again and etc..)
Then the problem started:
com.google.process.gapps and acore.process.android and basically all the phone started to crash. Nothing helped, I've tried to reflash ROM, reflash Google Package, Nothing. Suddenly, the phone was bricked. won't charge, won't boot.
However a very strange thing happened. Suddenly I could boot Into HBOOT (maybe the phone didn't had enough battery power before).
But the HBOOT was getting stuck, I couldn't do anything So I've used the Ultimate Recovery Tool and downgraded my HBOOT. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1653777)
The Problem now:
1. I can go to 4EXT recovery but it won't let me flash any ROM, installing is aborted.
2. HBOOT won't let me flash any recovery, boot, etc saying permission denined.
3. Rebooting bootloader doesn't work, it goes just to a black screen with backlight on.
4. I've tried to change firmware with PG58IMG it won't update saying hboot partition update failed failed-pu
5.I've tried to install the previous RUU @fastboot but it says battery power below 30%. I've checked the voltage it was around 3800~ and in the recovery it had like 50% so I don;t think problem lies here.
Information about HBOOT:
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.49.0007 <--- Bad Bad HBOOT, I know I did a mistake here. This Hboot is for Evo 3D GSM.
RADIO-11.24.3504.31_M
OPENDSP- BLAH BLAH BLAH
eMMC-boot
I don't think I have SuperCID. when I type the command fastboot getvar cid and getvar all I see the CID number is 0418.
However, when I type fastboot oem readcid I get 11111111.
I've tried to change to superCID but again, permission denined.
I'm thinking maybe if I could somehow change the superCID then I could update the firmware and then I could run the RUU?
Or can I somehow via linux box flash a different HBOOT?
Thank everyone who read this long story
I would be truly grateful for anyone who tries to help me.

failed-pu
man is a serious problem AFAIK
did you try to reflash ruu.exe or install 3.33 universal firmware again?
did they show you failed-pu again?
edit: what hboot version is that?
edit 2: why did you use a tool from htc evo 3D forum?
since you are on S-OFF and supercid you could use any ruu.exe you wanted including GB's one
that would take care also of your hboot version(gingerbread ruu->hboot downgrade)

Thanks for your reply,

Yes, Flashing RUU still giving me the below 30% battery (I've charged all night).
And Installing Firmware 3.33 gives me fail-pu

Idk, I saw ultimate Recovery tool, thought it would help since nothing worked..
I do have S-Off but I don't have SuperCID (my CID num is very strange only 4 digits now).

I did. My phone's in a QHSUSB_DLOAD mode but it doesn't get detected by the Unbricked project script. I saw other people had the same problem and Dexter advised them to JTAG.
