[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

[Q] S-OFF & Root on Pyramid whith HBOOT 1.19 is possible?

Hi to hall.
I bought an HTC Sensation with HBOOT 1.17. I've rooted it with the Official LEAK ROM, Sense 3.5 "2.08.401.1_stock_rooted_signed-v0.3.zip" ad S-OFF it.
Unfortunately I had to follow the procedure of S-ON to send back the phone in technical assistance.
Now I have my phone with display repaired, but the assistance have upgrated my HBOOT in new version 1.19.
These are bootloader informations:
*** UNLOCKED ***

If i try the S-OFF with the revolutionary.io site it tell me tath the 1.19 is not supported.
How can i have the permanent root and the S-OFF?
Thank's and merry christmas to everybody.

can't you run RUU to reflash hboot to early version you use it to flash the revolutionary.io hboot back to stock

I'm a newbie, have you a guide or an how-to url?

UP!
Nobody knows a solution to my problem?

You could try to flash back to hboot 1.17, check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20681060&postcount=22.
Just place the file (it must be called PG58IMG.zip) on the root folder of your sd-card, triple check md5 and then boot into bootloader to flash it.
If that works use should be able to S-Off.
Edit: Here are the same instructions (it's about firmware flashing but it's the same method, my reference is also mentioned there)
Edit2: I think Madenssblade is talking about flashing back to an earlier STOCK rom, see here, you can try that if the above does not work

Thank's a lot!
A question, if i launch the downgrade, it will destroy all my data?

If you flash the new ROM, yes (but not the data on your sdcard).
If you succeed in flashing the new hboot, no.
Good luck, I don't know if this all works given your device is S-ON, but it's worth a try (your HBOOT says unlocked).

A small update.
Yesterday i installed the app 4EXT Recovery Control and i noticed with surprise that i still root; perhaps it was sleeping in the state.
I cannot yet find a guide to give the S-OFF at HBOOT 1.19 .

Hi, try to downgrade your firmware. I am not sure but it may work. Try the following.
A. Downgrading the firmware
Visit this thread. Download v1.17 firmware . Are u having superCID? If so then you can download any v1.17 firmware else choose that firmware file which includes your CID. If you are not sure about your CID follow that same thread to find it.
Flash the firmware by the following method.
1. place Firmware PG58IMG.zip (v1.17) on the root of your sdcard.
2. Remove the battery.
3. Wait a minute.
4. Put the battery.
5.Press power+ volume- key together.
6.Phone will boot into bootloader.
7.Follow the instruction on your phone screen.
If the firmware downgrade successfull then Perform Revolutionary method to make your device S-OFF. If this method does not work try flashing an RUU.
B. Flashing an older RUU (HBOOT 1.17 )
Find a suitable RUU from here.
If RUU Flashing fails, boot into bootloader. Then retry to flash the RUU.
Then try to follow Revolutionary method.

As I said earlier , be in bootloader mode first. Then flash RUU. Error 155 should go off.

hello excuse the disorder but having the same problem on and hboot 1.19 s-on can not flash a stock ruu wanted to ask if you found a way to put s-off.

Need help to Get S-off back with 1.20 HBOOT

Hello Everybody,
I have a problem I can't figure out.
I have had my phone rooted and S-off and have had many custom roms. I wanted to go back to stock and followed the procedure, but the RUU 1.29 won't flash because I am on image 1.74 with HBOOT 1.20 I also now lost S-off so I can't flash another Radio.. There is how my fastboot screen looks

I did the HTCDev unlocked bootloader which made it go to Unlocked mode but did not give me S-off.
Any help please

the RUU should work.
make sure u go through it carefully.
I used the 1.29 ruu today on my hboot 1.23 ICS sensation
The RUU failed the first time but gave me some menus which flashed somekind of recovery files
then i ran the RUU again and it proceeded normally

Thank you I will try that.

I tried the RUU recovery and it didn't trigger or do anything, I followed all instructions.. The FASTBOOT still says Update Failed and Security failed or something like that. I also tried flashing the update in bootloader by extracting the rom.zip from the RUU and no luck.
I have a custom 2.3.4 rom runing fine but my WIFI doesn't turn on, it just says Error. I really need to get this back to stock so I can warranty this phone if the WIFI doesn't come back.
Any more ideas everyone?
Thank you in advance.

[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] 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.
