My phone is unbranded , unrooted & stock using ROM 1.47.401.4.
I have downloaded the latest ota 2.10.401.4 and in that zip there was a firmware zip in it.
i renamed the firmware zip to pg88img.zip and put it in my phone's sd root.
After the reboot of the phone has updated the firmware BUT thats all.
If i reboot the phone stucks on the HTC logo but also i can go to the bootloader options if on the reboot i hold down the volume button.
Is there any way to restore the phone?
I try to flash the stock rom but nothing.
Can anybody help please??
Resolution:
If anyone has the same problem and has hboot-2.00.0002 & S-ON you have to unlock the bootloader via htcdev.com site following all the steps and flash the EXT4 Recovery via FASTBOOT and NOT ADB.!!
Then go to recovery and flash any custom rom.

It says locked but nothin is locked. Try to flash 4ext recovery over adb. Should work I think. Instructions in general forum .

Thanks.
i'll try and see whats going to happen.
Which update did you download? There are a couple available - odexed & deodexed.
Maybe worth trying which ever one you didn't download the first time?
Also are you giving it plenty of time to load? First boot from a fresh install always takes a long time.
Don't worry, you don't have a brick

HOW???
My hboot is HBOOT-2.00.0002 and the revolution to s-off is only for hboots 0.98.0000 & 0.98.0002.
Can you be more specific?
The only way that i can communicate to my DS is only via fastboot.
Can anybody help or the phone goes to the trash?? What should i do??
Waiting for stock RUU 2.10.401.4
I believe that the only way to restore the phone is to wait till the stock RUU 2.10.401.4 leak someday..
If anybody else can help me please do.

That would be a choice, but I would say you'll be better of to use xtc-clip to gain s-off, after this everything is possible or just give it back for warranty and let them repair it,
because it's still s-on, but just to know, what else where in the zip?
Could it be that you forgot something, have you tried a factory reset?

What did you download originally?
Was it an official ota update, or from this forum?
If you tried to flash the odexed version, many users have problems with this. Can you try the deodexed version?
Sent from my HTC Desire S
I was with the original shipped rom 1.47.401.4 S-ON & UNROOTED.
I downloaded via my computer http://liveimage.htc.com/OTA_Saga_S...1.47.401.4_release_217301kjfuq12qqm0wuhg7.zip
In that zip file there was another zip file called Firmware.zip.
I renamed the firmware.zip to pg88img.zip and i put it in the root of my sd card.
I rebooted holding the volume down button and the phone went to bootloader mode found the pg88img.zip and flashed it.
After that the phone goes only to bootloader showing

Is there any way to flash the OTA via fastboot since over adb i get the message device not found..???
Do you have a "recovery" option in the fastboot menu? If so try to go to this menu and see if adb recognises it then. But you have probably tried this already, right.
With adb, when you type 'adb devices', your phone is not shown, correct?
I'm not sure about getting S-off with the new hboot, I did mine with the old hboot.
You could try to download the deodexed rom on this page and flash that, but you need to get into recovery first.
Sorry, not much help I'm afraid.
Did you try to install these fastboot drivers?
Unfortunately i have tried everything so far but didn't work.
The xtc clip maybe is the only way.. Or if the s-off solution of revolution will support in future my hboot and do it that way.
I also noticed that when i tried to flash the stock rom i had 1.47.401.4 and was stuck on the HTC logo the update software said that i had rom 11.10.401.4.!!!!!
Since i flashed the original fota why the version said 11.10.401.4 and not 2.10.401.4??
WTF IS GOING ON.??
Well, I still don't think you have a brick - you can get into the bootloader, you just need your pc to recognise it via USB.
Have you tried flashing the previous hboot version you had? To enable revolutionary s-off?
Also have a look around the general Android forums, there are some very experienced peeps there who may be able to help.

You should ask this question on the XTC phone tools forum to raskal to be 100% sure that this new version is covered (see link on the XTC in my sig)
and as @tectas has said, there is still a possibility that you are still able to return under warranty and allow them to resolve it for you..
sorry unable to assist with confidence.
EDIT: see this thread that I created a while back that contains another link within it to lots of XTC owners around the world within it, but I'd confirm that the new HBOOT is covered before you run XTC http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076937&highlight=xtc
I ask them. Thanks anyway.
The 3 things left.
1. to ask xtc forum if my hboot-2.00.0002 is supported.
2. to wait till revolution s-off supports in the future my hboot.
3. to wait till someone leakes the stock signed ruu 2.10.401.4
That's all unfortunately..
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:

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.

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

Dude, you have just unlocked the boot loader.
HTC dev unlock process will not give you S-off, also can cause some warranty issues (don't be disheartened)
Now you need to download a custom recovery and flash it via fastboot.
I would recommend 4ext touch.
Then flash any custom ROM. The guide should have all the details.

I've done that, i used 4EXT_Recovery_v2.2.7_RC5.zip and thats ok. I cleared caches, Changed from 3EXT to 4EXT and then installed REAPER 2.2 then used update 2.2.1 over the top.
So i have 4EXT Recovery installed! I installed the ROM (off SDCARD) with this program and when i reboot it goes into a Boot Loop graphic and stays there.
4EXT Recovery Touch is just a touchscreen version of the one i used no?

Maybe a slightly naive question......but I obviously need to downgrade my HBOOT to achieve S-OFF on the phone via the Rev method.
Can I restore my HBOOT version back to 2.00.0002 without running another RUU through it or is there another method.
My MIUI ROM works OK under 2.00.0002 should expect problems if it it runs under an earlier version ?

I have android 2.3.4 GB, sense 3, firmware no. 1.50.401.1
Can any body tell me it is s-off or not?
I read somewhere that if I will have s-off and root I can instal ICS by OTA and I will still have s-off, it is true? If I will don't like sense 3.6 on stck, I want to flash custom sense 4 rom. It is posible?
If I don't have s-off
can anybody tell me exactly what to do to have s-off and root in my case
ps. sorry for my english
You are s-off. If you flash an ICS OTA you'll still have s-off, but you'll need to gain root access whether or not you currently have it.
Simplest way to check if you have root access currently is to download a terminal emulator from market, open it, enter "su", and if it shows a "#" instead of a "*" then you have root access.
If it does not then you'll need to flash a custom recovery, and then flash a superuser.zip through recovery which will install the su.apk as well as the su binaries to allow root access to applications.
in terminal I type su but it shows that I don't have premision or something
so I flashed custom recovery, it shows me that it' will be updated, after rebot i deleted it from sd and boot again but seams to be de same recovery
what to do in this case?
and wat thas mean that in boot is s-off but **locked** on pink background
thanks
You definetly S-OFF but you are locked that mean you can't install custom ROM or flash zip with not from hTC. Since you are S-OFF you have to unlock it either via htcdev.com or Revolutionary. The Revolutionary will be the good choice right now, and since you are in Gingerbread. You can follow ":[Guide] to Installing S-off, Unlocking, ClockWork, Root, SuperCID & S-on" to root and unlocked the nand. Hope this will clear your's problem.
thank for help,
I make a mistake, custom recovery installed fine to me, I just don't know where to find instal from sd card, but now i now where it is
ok If it is locked I try to unlock it by revolutionary metod
and one question - After that I must instal recovery again or it will be stil ther after revolutionary process
Because you are S-OFF already you can update to official ICS, then flash the 3.32 Unlocked firmware http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
then flash a recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=966814&stc=1&d=1332793798
and you will be ready to flash any new custom ICS roms.
OK I have in botloader now this

A LOT of bad information/advice in this thread...
To the OP:
Going by what you originally posted you ARE S-OFF as said but you were running the stock HTC HBOOT 1.18.0000. With this you CAN flash a custom ROM but you CANNOT use fastboot commands as the stock HBOOT has them locked out. If you were to go to Recovery and you got CWM then you can flash a new ROM/root your existing ROM with no issues whatsoever
If you went to Recovery and got a red ! on the screen then you have the stock Recovery and cannot flash a custom ROM. You would need to flash CWM via a PG58IMG.zip file
Once CWM has been flashed you can then use a custom ROM.
Going by the last HBOOT info you posted you are currently running the Revolutionary HBOOT which is the same as the HTC one but allows the use of fastboot commands.
The important thing here is you will NOT be able to run an ICS-based ROM until you update the FW to the latest 3.32 FW so until you do you're stuck with GB-based ROMs

SO I must update to new ICS via OTG, but... When it download and update my phone I got a strange icon with android and with "!", and it stuck, only batery pull down is working to bring it to life. What can I do with this???
Just flash that new 3.32 firmware which is needed for ics, then my given recovery, and you will be ready for ics roms.
Please help!
I make a mistake and now I have s-off but locked on 1.27 bootloader and also boot loop
Is original firmware from here bring my phone to life, I flashed before unlocked firmware, but got loop so flashed also fix for it but not work
Code:

So did you flash the recommended unlocked 3.32 firmware? Your hboot version should be 1.27.1100 now, is it? Now flash 4ext recovery and then choose one of many ics roms. Your old gingerbread rom will not boot with the new hboot so it is normal. Get an ics rom.
I'm stock again, phone works but how to get it unlocked again
I updated my phone via RUU to official ICS, so at the moment I have s-off but locked and bootloader ver. 1.27.0000
I want to ask If I update by RUU to oficial GB it brings older bootloader too?
How to get custom ICS now....?
