I don't know whether the unrevoked3 could work under 0.83,
it's confirmed that it could not work under 0.92.
You don't need unrevoked. This update.zip is applied using the stock recovery.
Hi lollylost100,
I'm just trying your instructions above to recover my desire.
I don't seem to get anything on the screen at any stage of the above.
Is this correct?
If so, I must just be pressing the wrong buttons in the wrong order as I've not been able to recover my device.
Well if you downgraded using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745903 then you should be able to upgrade using the method in first post. Nothing will be displayed on the screen. You just have to follow the instructions without the screen.
I downgraded by creating a gold card and then running the ruu.exe for 1.21.
When I could not get the screen working I applied
RUU_Bravo_H3G_UK_1.22.771.1_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127568_signed
in the same way.
When I tried to downgrade using the RUU for a SLCD version, I get the bootloader incorrect version.
Am I screwed?
Try the HBOOT downgrade method again and then apply the fix in the first post.
It's because the file from first post is: OTA_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8-1.21.405.2_release4dua3bcrut4wrv30.zip
2.09.405.8-1.21.405.2 - from 1.21.405.2 to 2.09.405.8 (WWE).
I have a goldcard I created at the start of all this but I can't create a new one as I get 'failed to get CID' using gold card tool 0.0.5.
I'm guessing this is because the device is not in the correct mode anymore?
Do I need to generate a new goldcard image based on where I am ?
Well done lollylost100!!!
My phone is okay but thanks just the same. I'm sure a lot of people will find this very useful.
wait, where can i get the update.zip ?

okay, now i know where is the update.zip.. after applying the update.zip, how many minutes should i wait? for the installation?
i dont have to be rooted right and isnt glodcard is only for branded Desire? cos, installing rom spos to be rooted and use ClockWorkMod? hmm. sorry for being such a noob. im just panic please..
Theoretically goldcard is only for branded phones. You don't need to be rooted. You should wait about 30 mins after applying update.zip just to be on the safe side.
Very nice. Well done!
Congrats to everyone with working screens now

Hi yuzz..nice too see Bruneian in this forum, i thought i'm the only one...sry for the off topic
Talz, do you have this kind of problem to?
Some extra information:
It is also possible to recover using a stock RUU. This may be useful if you want to run 2.1 instead of upgrading to 2.2, or you want to upgrade later.
The RUU that is compatible with SLCD phones is here:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...1.00.32U_4.08.00.09_release_137222_signed.exe
To run this, make sure your goldcard is inserted and start the phone in fastboot mode (hold back key and power button).
If you get a 140 error when running this, you will probably have to use the update.zip method for FroYo (of course if you do want FroYo you don't need to worry about this).
You don't mind if I include this in first post?
Hello, im trying to root my 002 147 desire s. Ive searched and tried around 5 guides to do this so far and very frustrated. I have eventually got S off with the new revolutionary tool. When the cmd asked me if i wanted to install clockwork i did not, and i think i should of because i cant get it on at all now because im not rooted. When i enter my hboot recovery, now with revolutionary at the top and select recovery i get another screen with a phone, a red warning sign with an exclamation mark in it. Nothing further happens if i leave the phone alone. If i press vol up and power, i get another set of options, one being flash update, but it never works. Please, if anyone at all can guide me through this process id be very grateful.
Oh yes, ive tried gingerbreak v1.2 to do this also and it did not work.
Thanks
so whats problem with gingerbreak?
whats hboot version?
gingerbreak does nothing, ive copied it to my memory card, installed it and launched it. after waiting for around ten minutes it was still doing nothing so i reset the phone. have tried this a few times waiting upto 20 minutes and it wont root. my hboot is 0.98.0002. if i install a custom rom that is already rooted, how would i go about doing that, ive tried this also, do i need to rename things that go in the root of my memory card for them to be recognised in hboot ? thanks for the reply and help
Can anyone help ? Thanks
all is good, i used this guide to temp root and use revolutionary tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194488 then used this guide to install clockwork http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=852905 then rooted it easily with this file su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed copied to the root of my sd card. hope this helps others who had the same problems as me.
Here is another easy and secure way to root your Desire S. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194720

u need revolutionary or downgrade hboot to 0.98.0000
I recently "unlocked" my HTC Sensation 4g through HTC's official method. However, after successfully unlocking it, my phone is still set on S-On. Because of this, I am not recognized as a superuser, and so I cant boot into Clockwork Mod Recovery. Can anyone who knows more than me about this please give me a hand? This is my first time attempting any of this.
to make sure i understand this correctly- your phone now says "unlocked" at the top,but is still s-on?
what have you done to root?
once you have a truly unlocked bootloader,you can install a recovery thru that bootloader,and then flash superuser in that recovery.
having superuser permissions within a rom and being able to boot to a recovery shouldnt have anything to do with the bootloader.
if you are unable to install clockwork,or some other custom bootloader thru htcs "unlocked" bootloader,then they have lied to us... its not truly unlocked. that or something happened during the unlock process,possibly.
sorry im not of more help,its been awhile since i looked at the developer website. are there support forums there?
if everything is functioning correctly and you cant load whatever you want thru hboot,this unlock program is a joke. you could have gotten s-off with revolutionary or an xtc clip and not alerted them to the fact that you were messing with software and potentially "voided all or parts" of your warranty.
please keep us updated on this- im very interested to know how it turns out.
Thats exactly what it says. The method I used is on the front page of the htc dev site.
(the forum wont let me post outside urls yet)
The top of my H-boot screen says
"*** UNLOCKED ***
PYRAMID PUT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.80.0000
eMMC-BOOT"
So this is a problem. I think...
I just figured the official method through HTC would be the easiest and safest
Oh and when I try and flash Clockwork Mod Recovery through ROM manager this is the message I get
"You must root your phone for ROM Manager to function. Superusuer was not found at /system/bin/su or /system/xbin/su. Use Google Search on your computer to find instructions to root your phone."
or
"An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands."
So what have you done to root besides unlocking the bootloader? Just tried to install rom manager and clockwork?
Unless you have done something else,you are not rooted,you are just unlocked. Search the sensation forum for a PxxxIMG file that is clockwork recovery. When named that,and placed on root of your SD,hopefully your hboot will find and flash it.
Once you have done that,delete the PxxxIMG From your SD card,and place the superuser.zip file on it. Enter recovery thru hboot,and flash superuser.zip.it will install the root files.
After that you should be rooted.
Later I can try and find some links if you can't find them. PxxxIMG will be specific to the pyramid,I'm not sure what it is. For example,this type of file for the thunderbolt is PG05IMG.
Hope that helps.
edit:
here are some links for you:
download clockwork from here or multiupload (found the download in this thread)
download from one of those 2 places. rename the download "PG58IMG" and place on the root of your sd card. boot to hboot(power+vol down). when asked to update chose yes.
download superuser from here (this is the one i always use. found it here)
after deleting or renaming PG58IMG from your sd card,put the superuser.zip,boot to hboot,select recovery,then flash the superuser.zip.
hope it helps

Well I tried what you recommended and it did not work. But then I tried revolutionary and I managed to get s-off. However HBOOT doesnt recognize the P58IMG file. It just keeps saying P58IMG.*** NO IMAGE. (*** being different file types).
Im not sure if I need to try the recovery now that Im s-off but I cant flash the superuser file either.
gah! i wish you hadnt run revolutionary yet,as now we wont really know if your "unlocked" s-on hboot would have allowed the flash like a truly s-off one will.
one thing i know for certain,is that the troubles youre having werent because you were s-on. being able to place the superuser app,aND matching binary within the OS is not dependent on the hboot being s-off. s-off is handy,as it allows another method of flashing partitions like the radio and recovery. in the old days,before all the exploits were patched,alot of devices were rooted and a custom recovery installed from within the OS without ever bothering with the bootloader. the eris is a good example- prolly 95% of the eris community is still s-on and they change roms and such all the time.
-so i guess you downloaded the PG58IMG from multiupload? when i tried the first link,there was no valid attachement.
-you did name PG58IMG,correct? if you did name the file "P58IMG" maybe thats the prollem?
-make sure your SD card is formatted FAT32( not just plain FAT) and make sure you put the file on the root(not inside another folder)
*assuming you named the file correctly,have a FAT32 sd card,and placed the file onto the root of the SD,what happend when you went to hboot?
heres what should happen: the green writing flashes,hboot finds a PG58IMG file,then youll see a blue status bar on the far left as the phone unpacks it,then gold as it checks it. since the recovery file is small youll see that very fast. then you should get the "vol up to update" prompt.
if you have named the file correctly,FAT32 card,etc. maybe you just got a bad download. try downloading it again.
i downloaded and checked it- it contains a recovery image and an android info file,so it should be good to go. if you want to verify the integrity,the md5 i got is: 940fa14af3dcd055132adf292f668ad3
last and not least,if you ran revoltuinary it should have installed clockwork for you. if you dont want to keep messing with PG58IMG files,just run revoltionary again. it should detect your s-off,then ask if you want to install clockwork.
im sure youre getting a lil fustrated,but the method for rooting new phones is what im reccomending you to do:
1)unlock bootloader(revolutionary or htc unlock)
2)install recovery thru bootloader
3)install superuser files from recovery
it does work,i promise... ive done it many times on my thunderbolt.
Awesome, everything worked great. I had a few hitches but I figured them out. Thank you so much for all the help, I really appreciate it.
Until just now... I installed cm7 and now when i boot up my phone all I see is about 6 seconds of the cm7 start up animation (the one with the blue android guy on a skateboard). Then the phone starts up that same animation again. Its been doing this for about an hour now.

sounds like you didnt do a full wipe. pull the pattery,go back to recovery thru hboot,and wipe data/factory reset,wipe cache,wipe dalvik chache,and format /system. i dont usually format /system,but when youre stuck in a bootloop it cant hurt
well it was my own dumb fault... like extracting the .zip files instead of leaving them compressed.
And yeah now i totally have cm7 running! thanks for all the help man. I really appreciate it

Hi,
I've installed a custom ROM on my HTC Desire S. However, now that I've got a new phone I need to restore the phone back to its orignal state (Gingerbread - UK Orange).
I know this question has been asked before but after reading the other threads I'm still a little unclear on exactly what I need to do.
I'd be greatful if someone could point in the right direction, i.e do I need to use a RUU (whatever that is?) or can I just flash the phone with a stock ROM in the same way that I installed the custom ROM?
Not sure if this is relevant or not, but the revolutionary bootloader shows the following ifnormation:
SAGA PUT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-6.98.1002
RADIO-3805.06.02.03_M
eMMC-boot
Thanks,
I appreciate any help.
Have a look here androidforums.com/3405058-post1.html at section 2.
Flash hboot 0.98.2000 then install the RUU for your phone.
I suggest you make a gold card just in case you need it down the line.
Make sure you choose the right RUU.
Thanks for your reply.
I've followed your advice and flashed hboot 0.98.2000. This was fine. Also create a gold card as you suggested.
Then, I ran the RUU, but this failed the error:
Code:
ERROR[131] CUSTOMER ID ERROR
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone.
Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.
Now, I downloaded the "RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.47.401.4_Radio_20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199410_signed.exe" as there was no specific Orange UK RUU listed. Was this not correct?
Thanks
Not sure were to get a orange RUU and what version you will need (but am sure someone knows).....
If you are returning to stock for warranty then you will need a orange RUU, if not and just want to get back to stock for well stock sake then insert your gold card and try again, if it fails then you didn't make the card right or used the wrong CID (sometimes it gets the phones internal memory CID), use goldcard helper app to get the right one (mmc2 I think it is)
Even with the goldcard in, the RUU fails. I guess this means you're correct in saying it wasn't correctly created :-( although I did use mmc2 so maybe I did something else wrong.
I'm not returning to stock for warranty reasons, just so I can sell the phone. But either way, I'm not sure how I proceed from here. I would glady use goldcard helper app in order to create a working goldcard but this isn't possible (or is it?) as there's nothing installed on the phone and it just boots to hboot every time.
Is it possible to use revolutionary to re-install a custom hboot and then a custom ROM, and start the process again? I've just attempted this and revolutionary doesn't see the device.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Fixable, not that easy though...
Have a look here, same problem as you. Post 11 explains how to make a gold card on the Pc with a card reader.
Also a few posts here about how to make a goldcard on the PC, so have a look for them.
Keep in mind some cards just dont work as goldcards.
Hi XDA
I have posted a new thread after reading various guides and threads to S-off the sensation.
My problem is that i dont understand some parts in some guides so i cant use that guide.
1 st problem
Unlock bootloader : I have a Htc sensation Orange UK but it isnt listed on the HTC dev website so what do i do ?
2nd problem : I would prefer not to unlock my bootloader via HTC dev because i dont want to void my warranty.
3rd problem : I am running windows 7 32 bit and control bear support has been stopped for it .
4th problem : I dont have any wires to use for control bear so i want to use a paper clip but i dont know if this is correct so can someone verify please ? : (Image attached to this post)
5th problem : I dont know if the method i am understanding for S - off is correct
What i think i need to do ,
Htc dev :
Unlock using htc dev
root using temp toot .bat
run control bear
do wire trick
install h boot
Install recovery
Ganeshp ver
Run temp root
run control bear
do wire trick
install H boot.
Install recovery
6th problem :
I believe you can flash roms with only unlocked bootloader but there is only 1 guide for it and its not very clear.
7th problem : Im afraid about bricking my device
Thanks for helping guys !
Hi, all the questions you have can pretty much be answered with this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26280760
S-off by ganesh's guide does not require an unlocked bootloader.
Concerning the wire trick... I used one piece of paperclip so I can verify that it works (I never insulated the paperclip with anything either, so it was just a naked paperclip)
By the way, you never mentioned your bootloader details, but if you have 1.2x bootloader you can use the guide that ganesh wrote about, but if you have an hboot that is a lower version, then you have to use revolutionary's s-off guide.
You can flash ROMs and a custom recovery both s-on and s-off, but if you don't want to unlock your bootloader like you said, then I would try to s-off your device.
Since you are running windows, you probably need the windows version of controlbear.exe. pm me and ask about it, otherwise, ask someone else who has the file.
Good luck! And I hope I answered the questions
I wouldn't worry that much about bricking your device. Just flash the right ROMs and you'll be fine. If you follow all the instructions step by step, then there's nothing that can go wrong.
After you finish tinkering with your phone, I would flash albino's ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37121632
It's silky smooth, has basically no major bugs, and I think the battery is better compared to other ROMs.
Sent from my HTC Sensation
Be careful and do more research on unlocking the bootloader via HTC Dev.
It is not the complete unlocking sollution that HTC leads you to believe it is. It unlocks the bootloader in a very limited fashion, and prevents some full s-off methods from working at all without starting completely over and flashing an RUU (which wipes everything and restores the phone to the way it left the factory)
Meanwhile if you run into warrenty issues later, having used the HTC Dev website tells HTC that you messed with the phone and they could actually deny warrenty service based on that. But if you use other means to unlcoked the bootloader HTC wouldn't know anything about it, so if you flashed an RUU later to return it to bone stock it would be an S-On phone with a locked bootloader again. Warrenty shouldn't be affected.
Also keep in mind that you've got a 2 year old device. The warrenty probably isn't going to last much longer on it anway.

1. I am on 3 mobile and my phone is also not listed on HTCDev. But I chose Sensation (EU) which worked fine. I believe its for all devices issued in Europe.
2. HTCDev voids the warranty as well as wipes off the data. But if you are gonna flash custom ROM or overclock then I guess you would eventually say good bye to your warranty anyway!
3. Burn a live CD for Ubuntu 12.04 and use it for Controlbear wire trick method. You dont need to install Ubuntu if you dont want to. There are guides here which give you controlbear tool for windows but word of advice... use the live CD and follow unlimited.io website only. They have made their tool safer over the time. Trust me its worth every hassle.
4. I am sure you would have a spare network ethernet cable lying somewhere at your place, use that one. Otherwise, people have reported the paper clip to be working but make sure you insulate it properly.
5. Here are the overall steps for everything.
- Unlock bootloader via HTCDev
- Use controlbear tool and wire trick to gain S-OFF (the tool downloaded from unlimited.io for Ubuntu will install custom hboot itself)
- Install custom recovery
- Obtain Root by flashing the zip package via this custom recovery
- Flash custom ROM for ICS (Try Androidrevolution HD... its good)
- You can download apps from the market to overclock your cpu.
(Ofcourse you can install custom ROM without being S-OFF.. use Asskicker's guide, its comprehensive and easy to understand)
6. Read through Ganesh's guide properly and you may be able to flash custom ROM without unlocking bootloader.
7. Everyone should be afraid of bricking their device, I was too. But if you do everything as it has been mentioned in the guide, then you should be confident that everything will be fine.
A few days ago I S-OFFed my device and was scared to my bones that I would brick my device but once I did it, I am feeling so good about it now. The guys here have helped me so much.
I presume you are on 1.2x hboot version.

Ok so i tried it , What i did :
I plugged in my phone and then i clicked root.bat
after temp root i clicked on control bear and it backed up my device etc
Then it told me to do wire trick so i tried my best and the phone went off
I then **** it and looked for flowolfs video on youtube , (the phone plugged in and control bear still running)
Control bear was telling me to check adb drivers and that it was waiting for my device .
I looked at flowolfs video and i unplugged my phone and then i plugged battery back in .
The phone works fine but i had to format sd card.
I went into bootloader but unfortunalty it shows s-on.

flash 3.33 universal from firmware's thread in development section
it will give you also patched hboot which is unlocked
follow the instructions carefully
and before flashing check md5 sums(important)
don't do htcdev unlock.it is unecessary
How?

Slow down a second, buddy. You're 1 step ahead of yourself. Though I respect your excitment fro this process!
You don't flash firmware in recovery. You flash firmware in bootloader.
Read this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767&highlight=firmware
In it you will find the how to flash firmware (it's REALLY easy. Just make sure to follow the directions.) And you will be able to download the firmware files.
Short version is that you download the firmware file which will be caleld PM58IMG.zip, put it on your SD Card, and reboot into bootloader. Bootlaoder will install the new firmware for you. Don't watch it. Just walk away for 5 minutes, or you are liable to freak out when the screen goes blank during the process. More than one person has gotten scared when that happened and pulled the battey to stop it...which WILL brick the phone. So let it do it's thing in peace. It takes 2 mintues.
When it reboots you will have a shiny new firmware with a fancy updated bootloader as well.
And someone else please answer this...do Kohr-Ah's firmware packages have 4EXT recovery already included? Or perhaps CWM? So that they flash with the firmware? It's been too long sinc eI used one I can't remember.
@Skipjacks
I don't think kohr-ah's firmwares have a recovery installed. Just the radio, adsp.IMG, hboot patch and other stuff that I don't know about. I don't see a recovery.IMG in the zip file. Unless the recovery is rcdata.IMG...

I don't think kohr-ah's firmwares have a recovery installed. Just the radio, adsp.IMG, hboot patch and other stuff that I don't know about. I don't see a recovery.IMG in the zip file. Unless the recovery is rcdata.IMG...

No I don't think that's it either. It must have been the firmwares for my old MyTouch 4G that had recovery included. Like I said, it's been a while.
Just see the 4EXT recovery thread AndroidSupporter posted earlier. It has the recovery download links.
Ok that thread says things such a cid do what is that ? , it also says check md5 what is that ?
Thanks guys !

The CID is how HTC locks down the phone so it can only get the updates that they want your phone to get. Each region and carrier has different CIDs, so you can't use a Europe firmware or official ROM on an America phone. Each firmware file contains a list of the CIDs it will install on. If your CID isn't on the list it won't install. But there is a super CID as well that is like a master key. With the superCID on your phone all firmware packages will install.

See Step 4 to get Super CID. It's insanely simple as long as you have ADB installed.
Also the 3.33 firmware package may already include your CID. If it does you don't need to get Super CID. But it's easy, so why not?
An MD5 is a code that is generated that shows if 2 files match. If they match, the codes will be the same. If they don't, the files are different. With Firmware, ANY variation in the file can brick your phone. So you ALWAYS want to check to make sure the MD5 of the firmware file you downlaoded matches what it's supposed to be. That's why Kohr-Ah has the MD5 written under each download link.

First link at the top. It's the only 3.33 firmware there for download. (The one at the bottom is just the same file from a different download location)
Here is the same thing cut and pasted from that post. This is what you want.
Firmware 3.33 Universal:
DOWNLOAD:http://d-h.st/SuC
MD5: 07cc2a2ea4473e8fe8d6fe844c4020a1
Just put it on the root directory of the SD Card (don't put it in a folder) and boot into recovery. See if that works. If it doesn't then you have to Super CID. If it works, great. You're done. Flash recovery next.
