[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.
Check my sig below.

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

Hi,
Were you s-off before?
What did you flash to make you s-on?

Last night I unlocked the bootloader n been having the same problem but mind say S-on n I don't know what's next

? im at a lost here little more detail
what did you use to unlock bootloader?
where you ever s-off?
where you rooted?
why did you flash the IMG.zip?
if you unlocked it then go to fastboot and make your CID 11111
and hopefully that will get you back on where you wanted to do?
cant give much help unless you give some details on what was your state of phoen before and what you wanted to do with it

Sorry to reply so late.
Previously, my phone was eng s-off and got super cid.
After i flash ICS firmware, bootloader was then locked.
After that i did some stupid things, the bootloader turned into "locked", "security warning" and s-on. I succeeded to unlock bootloader by htcdev and get rid of "security warning", at that time i can boot into recovery normally and wipe or flash roms. But it just can't boot into system. I tried fastboot commands to flash but failed just because "it is not allowed in the remote devices".
i tried PG58IMG files but the bootloader shows no image or wrong image.
Can you give me some advice? Thank you very much

My phone had been rooted and end s-off before things happened.
i flash IMG.zip to try to flash a rom( Somebody post that ICS rom can be flash by IMG.zip) or fix the bootloader problem. It's almost the only way to flash a rom for me
I checked the cid and it is still 11111111(Got super cid before) although bootloader is s-on.
Now the state of the bootloader is
1, unlocked
2,s-on
3,cid is 11111111
4,can boot into recovery
5,can't install PG58IMG.zip
6,fastboot command can't write anyting
7,if flash some rom, phone will be stuck at the splash screen which seems splash partition is writable
Thank you!

i don't know how to do either, but during solving my problem, i found something may be useful. If you want to unlock bootloader you can try htcdev. This can't s-off but just unlock bootloader.
And since your hboot is 1.20, you can try the zip file attached by this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20681060&postcount=22.
Because my hboot is 1.23 and isn't supported according to the above link, i didn't know whether it will help or not. You can take it into consideration
Hope you can solve your problem

ok find hboot 1.17 PD58IMG.zip, your truly not s-on, format your sdcard, then place the img in sdcard, and boot into bootloader, and you should be able run fastboot commands, you should still have custom recovery right?

I format the sdcard in fat32 format and place img that revert to hboot 1.17 in sdcard. Reboot into bootloader, but it shows "no image or wrong image".
I also try fastboot command but i don't know the command format. Would you give me an example please? Just a fastboot command to install img no matter s-on or s-off. Such as "fastboot flash hboot hboot.img".
My device is now s-on.

Hi, I can't flash PG85IMG.zip wither except that I have S-Off??

[Q] S-OFF on HBOOT 1.20

Is there an S-OFF available for HBOOT 1.20? Saw "locked" after flashing 1.20 and S-ONed phone. Finally unlocked using htcdev but nothing I found could help me downgrade HBOOT and do S-OFF again. Do not have SuperCID atm.

there is a thread on this your still rooted even though it says s on

Yeah, I am still rooted and can get into recovery and flash ROMs. But I am having issues with signal and I cannot flash anything because 1.20 does not support fastboot commands. I would like to downgrade but cannot. I tried flashing the customized p85img.zip with my CID T-MOB010 and it would just return to menu w/o any messages.

Make sure it's p85img in the file name.
Don't INSERT .zip at the end. It should automatically be a .zip file.

The file is named correctly.

There is a thread here ima try and find it were you can revert back to hboot 1.17.0000

i m facinf d same problm wit my sensation with bootloader unlocked thro htc dev. i m unable 2 flash any radios. Even i m unable to flash any custom firmware also. I need ur help if u found any solution.

either downgrade your hboot to 1.17 or update to ics 3.24 which has hboot 1.27 (unlocked) and you will have advance fastboot commands

Same exact problem here, semi-bricked my phone before I went over to Htcdev.... attempting to flash a p85img for HBOOT 1.17 or any p85img does nothing but parse it. Searched all day today couldn't find a thing to help...Others have suggested just waiting until Revolution comes out with an Unlock for 1.20 but I'm determined to find a solution for us.

[Q] hboot 1.23 & s-on problem

Hi,
I have sensation with hboot 1.23 s-on, unlocked with official htcdev and custom rom installed.
I can't flash any RUU, even it's original orange UK RUU, I can't s-off with revolutionary because max hboot version is 1.18 and can't unlock network!!
any ideas?
pls help...

Flash previous Firmware, see if work .

Same problem here but I am stuck on 1.20. No firmware can be flashed, neither through RUU or PG58IMG.zip. RUU flashing ends with message security failed, update failed. PG58IMG.zip simply returns to menu after parsing. Fastboot returns with "remote, not allowed".
Please help !

If you are s-on you can't flash anything. You have to wait until revolutionary updates to 1.23

How did you guys end up with S-On?
Were you S-On before flashing hboot 1.23 or you just flashed an old official RUU over 1.23?

Revolutionary won't S-off for 1.23 in near future...:-/

Pure stupidity for me. I usually pay more attention to what's going on. When I flashed firmware that contained HBOOT 1.20 it did flash 1.20 but got stuck in bootloader mode and did not update radio.
I followed with attempt to downgrade to 1.17 and restore S-On so I could repeat revolutionary. When it simply returned to the menu w/o any error (but in fact stayed on 1.20) I did writesecureflag 3.
So the best I did was unlock bootloader through HTCDEV. I am still however stuck at 1.20, old radio and while I can flash roms, I cannot flash radio or hboot or RUU. normally I would just wait it out but wi-fi does not work in new roms for me, prob because of old radio.

I have the same problem, and there are many people have the same problem. Hope revolutionary would support hboot 1.23. But previous revolutionary s-off the bootloader when phone is on.

Well what's done is done... Wait for ICS official RUU... Probably it will flash...
Atleast thug can flash a Rom...
For wifi issue, i suggest you reset the router...I have doubts that will solve your issue..

Use adb as alternative to pg58img to flash recovery as per the guide.
Flashing the boot.img part of the ruu then gives you downgraded bootloader enabling you to s-off.

Check HBoot Version via Fastboot?

Hi everyone,
My Sensation has the issue with the screen where it just displays static rather than an image. It strangely outputs onto HDMI though, I have backed everything up thanks to that and am now ready to return it to stock so that I can get it repaired under warranty. I have done this process a few times before, I know that once you've flashed stock or whatever you can check whether it is s-on or s-off but can you check the Hboot version via Fastboot somehow? I wouldn't want to restore everything for it to turn up with the JBEAR HBoot s-on'd lol. As you can tell I can't actually see my hboot screen.
Many Thanks.

fastboot getvar all
use this command from cmd window
you will see also your current hboot version
edit:restoring a nandroid(if it is that you mean) won't change the hboot version nor the S-ON or S-OFF
if you used a ruu.exe then you have the official hboot version

This should tell your hboot version. It's also on bootloader screen.

The best way to return to stock is to flash a stock hboot (only if you changed your hboot. Junoputbrear soff changes hboot), then lock bootloader, do not s on yet. Flash a ruu and un supercid. Then s on.
JAM THAT THANKS BUTTON.
Happy to help.

Thanks guys, like I said I'm aware of the s-on procedure just needed to know how to see the bootloader information, that fastboot command was so useful. Restored it and it's on it's way to HTC now. Hopefully they can fix the display issue.
