[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 !

When I tried an ICS rom, I flashed the 1.20 hboot and firmware. All I had to do to get rid of 1.20 hboot was flash the PG58IMG.zip of the eng hboot.

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..

Seems to be the only solution at this point. Based on revolutions history, how long would you say that might be?

HBOOT 1.23.000 S-ON / unlock or relock ( secureflag 3) without firmware
now i have HyperSensation_v1.8_R
4ext recovery touch
Does anyone know how to upgrade or downgrade hboot?

This guide will help

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.

That's correct. You screwed yourself when you updated to ics firmware with s-on (or you set s-on after flashing though i can't figure out why). You are stuck for now until revolutionary supports the new hboot or until a new update that is supported comes out. You can now only upgrade, no downgrading for you, until s-off.

Returning to Stock few questions.

So I am returning to stock from this build:
ROM: CyanogenMod 9 RC1
FIRMWARE: 3.32.401.x & 3.32.401.10x
Radio:/ 11.22.3504.07_M
Hboot: 1.27.1100
And I have a few questions because reading the guides just didn't help me:
1. I can't understand completely the name of the RUU's: RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.27.401.3_Radio_10.42.9007.00P_10.11.9007.15_M_release_192183_signed.exe
1.27.401.3 - is this HBOOT version?
10.42.9007.00P_10.11.9007.15 - This is radio but why does it have 2 values?
192183- What is this?
2.
If you have S Off, this doesn't matter, but you should always try to flash the oldest RUU, so that it is easier to S Off later, unless you don't intend to perform S Off again.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I am S Off and I want to return my phone to S-on for warranty purposes then S-Off again so I must flash the oldest RUU right? If it is this is the situation how to determine the oldest RUU by HBOOT version?
3. Firmwares? What about them does the RUU overwrites the firmware should I downgrade firmware before flashing older RUU and can it be done? Is there such thing as firmware and RUU compatibility? If there is which firmware corresponds to which RUU, the firmwares have version that are not mentioned anywhere else?
4. Which RUU's I can flash and which I can't? I mean what should I look for to be suitable? Should I install RUU that has the same HBOOT version as mine or I can install older like I am ICS and I want to install GB RUU so I can S-Off easier latter?
So I am a little confused about downgrading and picking suitable versions of everything.
I decided to try without matching anything just downloading the RUU with the oldest hboot and flash it. It's RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.27.401.3_Radio_10.42.9007.00P_10.11.9007.15_M_release_192183_signed.exe and my device info is in the beggining of the thread. So in FASTBOOT i run .exe and I get
error: -5001. Please make sure you have finished any previous setup and closed other applications.

Is the problem with compatibility or something else?

Okay seems I've asked too much. Well I want to understand all those things but for now this is what I need to know:
Will flashing this RUU: RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_HTC_Europe_3.32.401.5_Radio_11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M_release_246089_signed.exe

Will be successful and can I S-off and Root again easy latter?

1. RUU naming convention
RUU_Pyramid_<an extra LE in the name if XE>_HTC_<country/cariier>_<rom main version>_Radio_<radio version>_release_<release version>_signed.exe
dont bother about release version ..we dont need that
the only concerns are ..
country/carrier -> which determines the cid
rom main version ->explains whether youy are on GB or ICS (lesser the version ..older it is ...only between same country/carrier RUU's)
radio version -> tells the radio
2.oldest RUU ..ive explained earlier ..the main version should be least ..but this comparison is only valid if the country/carrier matches
eg:
in case of
RUU_pyramid_tmous_1.52.xx
and
RUU_pyramid_europe_1.27.xx (you cant say which one is oldest)
3.no firmware questions when we are talking about RUU (firmware arises when you talk about custom roms)
RUU has everything ...it wipes everything and converts it to stock (RUU cant touch the SOFF and CID though ..they can be changed only manually ..i.e. by we doing it manually by commands)
4.which RUU ..is you decide by CID ...
if you are supercid ..and dont know the original cid
you need to select the RUU based on your country and carrier
there is an excellent guide on RUU and it explains everything
here is the link to it ...do read it
(it helps you in finding right RUU too )
RUU RELEATED INFO AND FLASHING GUIDE
also remember by flashing RUU ..you wont lose SOFF ...unless you change it manually ..to know how to change it please refer the above guide
also i believe this answer ..answers your second post questions too

Thanks a lot! But I still got the problem with error I mentionted in the 1st post (error 5001) I tried with 1.27 and 1.28 HTC-Pyramid-Europe. What should I do is flashing through safe mod possible.

im confused
did you mean you solved it ? or are you asking me how to bypass that error ?
anyways
you need to keep the phone connected to pc in bootloader/fastboot and then run the RUU.exe
Also ..if you did HTC-DEV unlock ..relock the bootloader (fastboot oem lock) and run the RUU.exe

I can't solve the problem. I connect it in bootloader/fastboot and try to run the RUU.exe. And I did revolutionary S-OFF.

Hey no idea that
error: -5001. Please make sure you have finished any previous setup and closed other applications.
is pretty annoying.

What is the CID currently on the phone ?
The RUU with xxx.401.xxxx IRC will require SuperCID (11111111) or a CID of HTC__001.
1.27... will end up installing HBOOT 1.17.0008 (just gone through the process on my replacement replacement phone.
As mentioned earlier you'll keep S-OFF and your existing CID after installing the RUU.
As far as the comms are concerned have you got the latest HTC drivers on the PC ?

I've recently run a few RUUs on my phone to get to a state where I could have a carrier backup, just in case (I forgot to get one immediately after S-OFF/custome recovery, doh). At no point did I re-lock the bootloader, I unlocked it (HBOOT 1.27.0000) and it's stayed unlocked the whole time, always worked perfectly. I also didn't have the phone in bootloader/fastboot mode, it was just on the home screen, again worked perfectly. I guess YMMV.

I am super CID.

regarding RUU running normally ..you should have usb debugging enabled ..and need to have proper drivers too to recognize the device ..
running from fastboot no hassle there.. (most 155 errors can be prevented from running from fastboot)
couple of people were thrown error 99 when they ran RUU with unlocked bootloader ..so relock is a safer bet to prevent that error too

I think I bricked my Sensation Xe

hi seniors
i am new to Android phones.
I have HTC Sensation Xe which was rooted and with unlocked boot loader, also have super user permission(what ever in technical terminology).
Hboot verion 1.29.0000 and it's S-On.
Recently I tried to install Elegancia Rom on it, after following instructions I flashed my phone.
After restarting my phone, It got stuck at elegancia boot screen.
I have waited for it to boot for more then 15 min, but it never went ahead from that screen.
I have tried to wipe cache and dalvik etc. and re flashed again. But every time it stuck at elegancia boot screen.
I have tried to restore backup( Nandroid) from recovery screen( which is 4ext recovery), but it not recognizing my backup.
Now I am not able to do anything on my phone, so please help me how to revive my phone??

Its not bricked. The problem is you are S-ON and so should have enabled SmartFlash in 4EXT or manually flash a boot.img using fastboot flash boot boot.img
There is a guide somewhere in the general section about flashing ROMs with S-ON, read and follow the instructions

The type of stock ROM you can install depends on S-ON/S-OFF status, CID and Model ID. you have Sensation XE - Model ID of PG5831001 (I think) so you can only install RUU_Pyramid_LE_ stock RUU's
Then you have S-ON so you can only install the same or higher RUU version as what you are on (to check use fastboot command "fastboot getvar all" and look for mainversion in the output) eg if mainversion = 3.33.401.106 then you can only install the 3.33.401.106 or higher RUU.
Then comes your CID, if you have superCID (11111111) then you can install any RUU, however if you are a tmobile user or vodafone, you will most likely have a different CID (to check use fastboot command "fastboot oem getvar cid"). so if you are tmous CID then you can only flash T-Mobile RUU's but most Sensation XE's sold come with CID HTC__001 which means any RUU version (depending on the above 2 points)

Then comes your CID, if you have superCID (11111111) then you can install any RUU, however if you are a tmobile user or vodafone, you will most likely have a different CID (to check use fastboot command "fastboot oem getvar cid"). so if you are tmous CID then you can only flash T-Mobile RUU's but most Sensation XE's sold come with CID HTC__001 which means any RUU version (depending on the above 2 points)
Don't worry about it, we are all new android users at some point

Thnx again man. You are really helpful.
I have
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-ON RL.
HBOOT-1.29.0000
eMMC-boot
Main version is 3.33.4.1.106 as you said, and CID is HTC_001.
I have downloaded stock ROM (RUU_PYRAMID_LE_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.33.401.106_Radio_11.76A.3504.00U_11.24A.3504.31_M_release_266172_signed), but when I tried to install it failed.
So tell me what I am doing wrong. Right now I am installing Darkforest Rom, but in future If I want to flash stock rom them what should I do??

What error code are you getting? Sometimes the phone needs to be connected to the pc when its in bootloader mode before the RUU will run without errors

It was like, this update cannot be installed on your phone. My phone was not connected in bootloader mod when I tried, also I have installed Elegancia Sense 4.0 rom on my phone.
BUT AS OF now, I have installed your DarkForest rom and it's working fine. SO I would like to explore the same.
In future if I want to get back to stock rom, then I will get guidance from you.
Thnx man for prompt replies every time. I really appreciates it.

no there is no need to unlock the bootloader as long you are S-OFF
what to do:
install 3.32fw(from bootloader and renamed as pg58img.zip)
install3.33fw(from bootloader and renamed as pg58img.zip)
then install ics rom from recovery

Hi,
You are running Gingerbread.
You need to update firmware to run ICS
Look HERE

Thank you for responding

I have tried to update the firmware many times, see this pic (it also shows info about my bootloader)
after I downloaded the firmware I checked the MD5 SUM and it matches
this pic shows that the device is rooted

I tried installing
3.12 Universal
3.32 Universal (in the pic shown above)
3.33 Universal
CID is : 11111111
Does this mean that my device isn't really S-OFF? Is there a fake S-OFF?

Hi,
I just noticed you tried HTCdev unlock.
This was not necessary,as you were already s-off, and it has probably messed up your phone
Your best bet now will be to run a RUU.
Look HERE
Look for a RUU that matches your area and current radio (10.14)

Thanks alot ,

You're probably right, trying to unlock the bootloader after it's s-off was a stupid move ,before I thought that it's necessary to flash a rom
I flashed a RUU (not T-Mobile's) and it works fine
I think I'm gonna use it for a while and then try again to flash ICS rom.
