Hi there.
Bootloader details are
***Unlocked***
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT- 1.27.0000
eMMC- boot
Jan 13 2012, 17:33:34
I'm trying run a RUU which I downloaded and have had an
'ERROR [155]: UNKNOWN ERROR
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your android phone.
Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.
The error may be because my bootloader is unlocked? But when I try to re-lock it it shows the "security warning" below "re-locked"
and then the RUU gives me ERROR [140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR
The RUU I'm trying to use is called RUU_Pyramid_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.35.707.1_Radio_10.43a.9 007.00U_10.51.9007.27_M3_release_198358_signed
Please help! I've been trying to Install MIUI all day and it is turning into a nightmare.. I don't want to lose this phone D:

Thanks for the reply.
I figured this would be hard as I've tried alot already..
I read somewhere there was a way to get soff involving connecting a wire somewhere and it can be risky. Can you affirm this is the best bet to recover my device?
By the way when relocked bootloader gives me these details..
Radio-11.23.3504.07_M2
OpenADSP-v02.6.0.2226.00.0131
Using ADB CMD I discovered the Android Image is version: 3.32.707.1
I hope someone can give my a clue as to what my best bet is here.. at this point I just want a usable phone again.

There's a new unlock out there but I never used it unlocked 3 at hboot 1.18 sorry

the RUU you are using wont run...because you are s-on...right now based on your HBOOT ...you might have 3.32 firmware....and the RUU you are using has 1.35 firmware (see after WWE_<this is firmware> in the RUU name)...
that's why you are getting that bootloader error..
the best solution for your case is to use ICS RUU..
to get that i need your cid
steps to get cid
1.keep the phone in fastboot and connect it to pc (phone reads "fastboot usb")
2.go to your adb/fastboot folder and type
"fastboot getvar all" without quotes
and post all the results...except serial number and imei
I'll find you the correct RUU for you..which might/will avoid bootloop..after you gave me those details

Okay, I ran the command. Here is what I have.
C:\AndroidSDK\tools>fastboot getvar all

You might want to know that since trying that RUU I have also tried one called
RUU_PYRAMID_LE_ICS_35_S_hTC_Asia_TW_3.32.709.108_R1_Radio_11.69A.3504.00U_11.23.3504.07_M2_release_251682_signed
It gave me ERROR [156]:IMAGE ERROR
Thanks for your help

please edit your post by removing,,,the serial number and imei present in the list
also the other RUU...wont run because the cid's are not matching...and there is No ICS RUU ...yet in your case...
so the choice left is ...to run a custom rom ?
fine with you ?
this the guide ...you need to follow to get ARHD custom rom
guide to flash roms with S-oN
please follow this guide step by step...and you'll have a custom ROM by end of it
.That guide is wriiten by a friend of mine ...and i helped him to make it pretty noob-free...follow that guide and let me know ..if you got any problem

So u know there's a kinda beta s-off but I would wait if it was me your call

THANKS!!!
Through following your friends/your guide I was able to flash rom
rmk-pyramid-stock_ics_3.32.401.3-v1
I really don't understand why I couldn't do this before when I was using clockworkmod recovery... Although it may have been because I didn't flash the appropriate Boot.img..?
So from what I've read, being S-on on FW3.32 I cannot flash roms that aren't 3.32 as well, would that be correct?
I don't understand how I'm supposed to know which are 3.32 or not..
I really want MIUI still.
Perhaps you could provide link to the MIUI rom which is 3.32..? would it be the latest?
kind regards and thanks for you help and time

[Q] FAILED (remote: not allowed) need a little help

Hello!
Just got my hands on a desire S from someone who said they bricked it, i dont think it is though.
I can access fastboot/HBOOT but it doesnt seem to have a custom recovery installed, shows the stock recovery or download mode logo, the screen goes blank and vibrates 7 times.
Every time i try to flash anything through fastboot it gives me the error in the heading
FAILED (remote: not allowed)
The ROM just doesnt boot and shows T mobile logo indefinitely (must be a bootloop) but the phone doesnt have any Tmo logos on the body.

I read about ENG S-off but i dont know what this phone has, maybe its just radio S-OFF cos its Tmo and doesnt have a recovery though i dont understand what the 7 vibrates mean either.

7 vibrations most likely mean overheating, and this can't be cured by any means.
The phone is S-OFF, but doesn't have Engineering HBOOT - so you can't use fastboot, it won't allow you (just what it says).
Your best bet is to try a stock RUU and see if it helps.

Download a PG88IMG.zip from an eng hboot, copy it to root of sd (cardreader), boot to bootloader and let it do his job.
Afterwards delete the zip boot to bootloader once more and flash a recovery with fastboot.
I would use a ruu only if those steps fail.
Swyped because PC is under full load or to far away

Hey Tectas I tried your method,
went here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178001
and got the first radio which had the same number as mine ie this one
From the 1.31.832.3 RUU:
20.28d.30.0805U_3805.04.02.01
says cid incorrect.
shall i try all the ones with 3805 in them? cos i really have no clue which one is right for me considering i dunno which RUU is compatible with this phone

No, not radio, leave it untouched yet, the hboot is what you need
Check my signature, I personally would recommend this one

even for this PG88IMG.zip which is the 1mb hboot file it says cid incorrect update fail press power to reboot

Do you know from which regions your phone is?
Try in fastboot : fastboot getvar all, and Google your main version then download the appropriate file from this link

Once you are sure you have the right RUU, you might have to make a goldcard to get rid of the CID error

The whole point of having "right" RUU is to avoid this error - having RUU for his specific region gets rid of CID error message. Otherwise he just needs any RUU and goldcard.

I have what seems to be the right RUU..
now when i try to install it, the RUU installer hangs and the phone also hangs.
I should reiterate that my phone DOES NOT BOOT into the rom, has what may be boot loop error. If i could access android i wouldnt be asking any of these questions as from in there all this is easy peasy!
i'm trying booting into Hboot and fastboot to install this. as far as i remember it doesnt work here so how else can i go about it?
once again, no custom recovery, no eng bootloader, no working android rom
Thanks to all of you who tried to help by the way

3 possibilities:
1. Let the ruu run without attached device till the only option is to close the program, search in your temp folder for the rom.zip, copy it to another folder, close the program, copy it to sd and try to flash it the same way you did before with the hboot (rename the rom.zip to PG88IMG.zip before you flash it)
2. Do the same like at 1. but create a goldcard before
3. Do the same I described before with hboot, but create a goldcard before
Swyped because PC is under full load or to far away

If the RUU installer hangs - your chances aren't too good.
If it hangs on "rebooting to bootloader" - boot to FASTBOOT manually and start RUU while in fastboot mode.
If it hangs updating - chances are you're another case of faulty eMMC.

gave the phone to some guy in the market. says he'll take 5£ to open it and check it out and let me know whats wrong.
the RUU rom.zip file when renamed to pg88img.zip or whatever does work as its the only zip file it detects in hboot mode,
it starts the update, heats up like an angry mountain and then sucks its battery off..
thanks you guys for all the help. I'll update you on what was the actual problem when this guy tells me so you know what these symptoms are for in future

Have you tried using the gold card? As it has already been stated that it should get rid of the wrong cid issue.

Tampered: no stock recovery
Unlocked: your bootloader is looked
VLE: Ville: HTC One S
S-ON: security on
Radio: your radio Version
You have to lock your bootloader.
Download the all in one toolkit which you can find in the development section. There are all necessary files.
Be sure you have installed the HTC sync driver.
1. Connect your mobile To your pc when your are in the screen where you can see hboot version etc.
2. There should be "hboot USB" in blue.
3. Navigate to hboot and press power.
4. It should change to "fastboot USB" in red.
5. Then open the all in one toolkit on your PC.
6. Open the folder where ADB and fastboot exe are located.
7. Press shift and right click somewhere in the folder and open the command line.
8. Then type in "fastboot oem lock"
9. If you take a look to your phone you should see that the "unlock" changed To "relocked"
That was the first step.
10. Go To the development section in this forum and look for the wwe europe ville ics ruu 2.31 or sth like that.
11. Download the file
12. Doubleklick the file
13. Follow the instructions
14. Let the ruu install everything
15. If everything works fine you should be on official ICS 4.0.4 with Sense 4.1 now
Good luck!
I hope I wrote an easy understandable instruction.
If u experience any problems feel free to post it here.
I'm sure I or someone else can help you.

glad to hear that I helped you.
Tampered means that someone already changed something on the phone (unlocked/relocked/custom recovery)
A comparison should be.. if you bought a new pc and if you open the case you have to break the seal. The "Tampered" say that you had break this seal on the phone (e.g. by unlocking the bootloader)
S-ON means that the security flags are on. Its a system protection so nobody can manipulate system data.
S-ON + locked bootloader -> you can do nothing, no root, no custom things
S-ON + unlocked bootloader -> you can flash custom recovery, root, custom rom (you can see an unlocked bootloader as a compromise between S-ON and S-OFF
S-OFF -> you can do everything what you want, change bootloaderGUI, bootanimations, splashscreens.
Unlocked means that you bootloader is unlocked. If its locked you cant install custom recovery, root and custom firmware. It has to be locked when you install a RUU.
You cant find your HBOOT version in your phone settings because its the version of the bootloader.
the bootloader is independed from the rom you are on. Its like the BIOS from your PC and your ROM is Win7 where you either cant find the bios version.
Radio is the module which is responsible for mobile data etc.
no/wrong/corrupt radio = no network/no signal
openDSP .. i don't know
eMMC boot, I guess that this is the partition where the bootloader is located.. but I'm not sure.
Mar 21, 2012, 16:01:09 is the date when .. difficult to explain .. when the development of the RUU was finished?
if I wrote something wrong please correct me.

Thanks a lot for this very helpful information. Appreciate your help. Kind of person like you are the reason these forums are running successfully and helping novice people like me. Thanks again.

Hello.
I'm having same problem with getting back on stock firmware...
After trying to flash into CM10, i got stock in CM boot logo.
So trying to get back to original using RUU.
But it just looks like I can not get right one...
I did everything like in posts above, and when I enter "fastboot getvar cid" I got "HTC_Y13"
Any idea which RUU is correct for that?
I'm still trying, so maybe it will be fools luck... Or maybe someone can put me on point?

When I try to install CM10, everything went fine, but when It have to reboot it just stuck in CM booting logo loop...
And since you can't remove memory card on HTC One S, I think I have no other option how to reinstall stock firmware. And my problems starts...
I relocked bootloader.
Download already like five different RUU's...
The problem is, I can not locate my version, it's blank...

When I push "Next" it goes "Checking", then "Rebooting Bootloader", "Erasing User Data" and "Sending".
When it comes to "Updating Signature" I'm getting error code...
Phone is bought in Norway, and by checking cid: HTC_Y13, I can see that it's HTC-Nor. So which one of RUU's I have to use?
I also tried to flash zip RUU, using One_S_All-In-One_Kit_v3.5 with same no luck...
Really don't know what to do... Any help would be appreciated...

Hello everyone,
So, 2 days in front of PC, reading forums and trying. No luck... So try to post it here.
I want to flash to CM10.
Bootloader is unlocked.
Recovery is installed (TWRP S4)
Root is done.
Security S-ON.
When I try to install CM10, everything went fine, but when It have to reboot it just stuck in CM booting logo loop...
And since you can't remove memory card on HTC One S, I think I have no other option how to reinstall stock firmware. And my problems starts...
I relocked bootloader.
Download already like five different RUU's...
The problem is, I can not locate my version, it's blank...
(bootloader) version: 0.5
(bootloader) version-bootloader: 2.15.0000
(bootloader) version-baseband: 1.11.50.05.28

(bootloader) boot-mode: FASTBOOT
(bootloader) commitno-bootloader: dirty-64bedd38
(bootloader) hbootpreupdate: 11
(bootloader) gencheckpt: 0
all: Done!
So everytime I start RUU, in the screen Current information about your Android phone" "Image version" is blank and the one with "Verify that you want to update the ROM version" "From Image Version" is blank...
When I push "Next" it goes "Checking", then "Rebooting Bootloader", "Erasing User Data" and "Sending".
When it comes to "Updating Signature" I'm getting error code...
Phone is bought in Norway, and by checking cid: HTC_Y13, I can see that it's HTC-Nor. So which one of RUU's I have to use?
I also tried to flash zip RUU, using One_S_All-In-One_Kit_v3.5 with same no luck...
Really don't know what to do... Any help would be appreciated...
Thank you in advance!

Firstly, I would recommend removing part of your IMEI and Serial Numbers from your post, it could be used in bad ways by other people.
Ville is the HTC One S with a Snapdragon S4 chipset, clocked at 1.5GHz (dual core) otherwise known as z520e. (You have this phone)
VilleC2 is what became of the HTC One S when HTC ran out of Snapdragon S4 chipsets in many parts of the world due to a shortage. It has a Snapdragon S3, clocked at 1.7GHz (dual core) otherwise known as z560e.
VillePlus is a Special Edition version of the HTC One S, only available in Taiwan. It has the same processor as the Ville, except comes in a white body instead of the normal grey or black options and has 64GBs of internal storage. The other two have 16GBs internal storage. This phone is quite rare.
You should try RUUs only that say ville, and not VillePlus or VilleC2. These won't work and may even irreversibly damage your phone.
OTAs only work when you already have a previous firmware version. Let's say you were on ICS, a Jelly Bean FOTA is released (firmware over the air) and installs ("flashes") on top of your existing ICS installation, keeping your apps and data.
RUUs wipe all data and wipe everything on the phone when installing through a USB connection.
Could you specify what error code you get on the RUUs?
----
The reason why CM10 didn't boot is because you didn't flash the boot.img.
You need to extract the boot.img from the CM10 zip and put that into your "working folder" (the folder with adb and fastboot files in it)
Open up a command prompt / terminal in that folder and type
fastboot flash boot boot.img
when you are in FASTBOOT USB mode in the bootloader.

Go to Fastboot. Plug in your USB with the phone. Now, ctrl and r --> type cmd --> cd to C:/where your adb is --> fastboot read cid
Then type the 8 digit string that you get. It would help us determine your network provider.

I wouldn't recommend installing the RUU for ICS as it wasn only really released for development use and is not stable. If you want ICS then try one of the Custom ROMs instead as they are far better.

yh i agree with SimonTS, the ics update aint great and the custom ones here r much better without the bugs, well most of them anyway, but if u want it the ruu then yh its the wwe ruu that u use, its a "one for all" ruu, bit like the 2.3gb upgrade for the htc desire (bravo) one file for everyone.

I really appreciate the replies, so thanks for getting back to me. 2 quick followups. the target phone doesn't boot up fully (thus adb commands on pc won't work). it gets past the carrier (three network) splash screen and then hangs with a small icon of a handset and a large red triangle with red exclamation mark. is it possible that the RUU will bet able to flash this (fastboot commands work so its not a complete brick).
the other query i have is that the file I am trying to flash it with is the only H3G rom linked from above (n00bs can't post links sorry), am i right in thinking this is the only candidate available to me for a three network (ireland) device?

As far as i know the ICS RUU for the desire s is for all, so doesnt matter if its locked to 3, or any other brand. And if u search on HTCDev site there is only 2 ICS ruu's available to download, one is wwe and the other is for china so yh ul need the wwe version. Basically download the ruu, put ur phone into fastboot mode, plug it in to pc and run the ruu.exe file.
Another thing is if u wana s-off ur phone u wont be able to if u use the ics ruu, u would have to downgrade ur phone. So if u have fastboot set up on ur pc then put ur phone into fastboot mode then plug into pc then open fastboot command window and type
fastboot getvar version-main
And post results here

Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.
Any ideas on which one RUU i need?

Because ur main-version is 1.47.xxx and the ruu that u tried is 1.31.xxx.
U have to use the ruu with 1.47 or higher, u cant downgrade. So i would suggest flash the 1.47 ruu again that way u will be able to s-off the phone via revolutionary
Edit: can u run this command via fastboot
fastboot getvar all

Bad news, i cant find one anywhere. the only one i found is the one u have (1.31.xxx) i think ur best, probably only option is to flash the ICS RUU. If u want to flash a custom rom u can always unlock bootloader after at some point. up to u mate

[Q] Super CID and S-OFF not working (3.16.111.10, HBOOT 2.15)

Hey Everyone,
after I nearly bricked my One S4, I now would like to flash any custom rom.
Unfortunately, I can't change my CID to 11111111 and also I can't get S-off.
I tried / made the following:
1. I got root & unlock.
2. I tried to change the CID with ADB-push etc. - for some strange reason, I can write the changed mmcblk0p4 to the dev-folder, but immediately after I have written it (no write error!) and if I reopen it - no matter with a root explorer or by pulling it via ADB it has not changed.
I also tried to copy the file from the SD with a root explorer to the folder - same thing, copy works and immediately after it, the old CID is inside.
3. For obtaining S-off I tried all available options, the appropriate version of Moonshine (which stucks with pages and pages of dots - as far as I remember after step 3) and also Rumrunner 0.5 - which says I should update to a newer version.
Facepalm is no option as it is only for SuperCID.
Has anyone an Idea what I could do?
Here is additionaly the fastboot getvar all:

I was in your shoes until I found the link I posted. Maybe you didn't follow directions for rumrunner properly. Use rumrunner downloads from that link and try again. Won't hurt

I have the same problem. I can't get S-OFF after unlocking bootloader and rooting. Same Hboot (2.15), tried rumrunner: on Windows it says I need to download updated version, on Ubuntu it won't go past pouring (1). Also tried firewater without success.
I was going to flash ViperOne S 3.2.0 after getting S-OFF. Should I try to flash it before getting S-OFF? Thanks for help!

I have flashed 3.1.3 yesterday with a unlocked device and then extracted the hboot2.15 from this rom and flashed it afterwards again.
It runs so far good!
And this with S-On and without SuperCID.
The Hboot is in the folder "kernel" of the ZIP file.
Nevertheless - S-Off and SuperCID would be cool.
BTW - I tried rumrunner again (3-4 times) with a very detailled following up of the requirements listed on the website etc. Did still not work.

I finally managed to get S-Off some days ago. It was just due to my antivirus, Bitdefender. Even though I disabled it, any way to s-off wouldn't work. Uninstalled it and then ran Rumrunner again. Everything went fine!!

Did you try moonshine S-OFF?For your Firmware and cid no: http://moonshine.io/download/di7ki1txf7jq.html
And instructions:

Unfortunately both did not work AGAIN - I disabled the AV software and disabled the services etc as well.
Rumrunner says Error und Moonshinhe runs forever (see attachement).
Any Ideas?
