[Q] SagaS HTC Europe 2.10.401.5 update fail

Few days ago I receive new OTA update 2.10.401.5 on my HTC DESIRE S Europe.
But, after i download the update and continue to install the update after the update finished my device stack at the boot splash screen. my HBOOT version is still 6.98.1002. I don't know what could be the problem? I revert it to the old 1.47.401.4 software version via RUU, but I really don't know why the update failed?
Will somebody please answer my question?

another one??
Jesus Christ...could be problem because ur s-off or maybe htc screwed something ..but cache must be cleaned before reboot thats for sure

You use stock ROM before install the new one?

I think it's S-OFF. Because the latest updates request/demands for you to have HBOOT 2.xx.xx for it to work?

that's revolutionary hboot.
ota update need at least hboot 0.98.2000.

Meanwhile in this thread ...
OP tries to install official firmware on his security off'd phone, what a moron.
You need the official hboot (not s-off, not rooted, STOCK, 2.00.0002) to ensure the OTA works properly (it will of course work without it, but when we tried, certain aspects of the ROM didn't work correctly).
ifelse( is_ship_bootloader(getprop("ro.bootloader")) == "t" , < More ways to laugh at OP.

I solve the problem!

Big thanks to u guys.
I was using this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1187231
I had to S-ON back again and after that perform the update.
It's because the HBOOT version is 6..89.*** and it need to be 0.98.0000 or something.
Trust me! It was fully working for me.
Now I have the new stock 2.3.5 rom on my DS with sense 3.0
There one other problem. I couldn't find any tolls which can gain S-OFF on the new HBOOT 2.*****
So at this stage you can't gain root on mine and your DS with the new ROM.

Good job!
No S-OFF for that version of hboot. but you can still unlock it to flash customer roms, recovery. radio wouldn't update on mine.

[Q] How Install Endymion from RUU 2.10.401.8 and HBOOT 2.00.0002 S-On

Hi at all,
I need to know if what i saying is right.
I Have HTC Desire S with original Rom 2.10.401.8 and HBOOT 2.00.0002 S-On
My goal is to install the Endymion
I read many thread and i understood that the curret way to do this is:
1) Downgrade My ROM from 2.3.5 ( 2.10.401.8 with HBOOT 2.00.0002) to a ROM 2.3.3 with HBOOT 0.98.00000 (Ex: RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.47.401.4_Radio_20.28I.30.085 AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199410_signed.exe)
To do this i need to follow the steps from 1 to 7 of this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20535265&postcount=26
2) Now i need to change HBOOT, Change Recovery and Root the phone. To do this i need to use Revolutionary tool for Windows from http://revolutionary.io/ and follow the istruction.
3) Now i can download the custom Rom and install using this way:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257731
Is It right?
Thanks
K.

100% right, just follow the instructions given by a particular ROM to flash though.
You can also look at HTCdev, but no point in using it (telling HTC you have voided your warranty) so I would use your method.
And 1.47.401.4 is Hboot 0.98.0002 (not that is matters though)

I have just done this this exact way and it worked great

Hi guys. I would like do the same thing with a Desire S, hboot 2.00.0002 S-ON.
After downgrading i'll have hboot 0.98.00000 S-ON.
Than, I should use revolutionary to get my phone S-OFFed and with a new recovery tool, is it right?! (Is there any guide, cause I'm a beginner...?)
Now, is my anroid 2.3.3 phone rooted?!?! So that I can install SU to remove app...
And now, if I would like to come back to android 2.3.5 with sense 3.0 rooted, can I flash a custom rom!? Or do I need something else, like installing clockworkmod recovery?
Thanks !!!

I would install 4ext recovery or the mentioned clockworkmod recovery.
After you have done so, you can flash any ROM (custom or not).
I prefer using a sense 3.5 ROM, but you can either choose sense 3.0 or AOSP.
But before flashing a new ROM you should always backup your system and data
Have fun!

[Q] Is it possible to get S-OFF on HBoot 1.23?

Hello Geeks.
I have recently misled myself by getting my phone back from s-off to s-on before installing the stock RUU on my Sensation XE.
However, i have managed to unbrick the phone and i have a custom ROM running on it while there is S-ON right now.
I was running ICS which means i upgraded the HBOOT from 1.18 to 1.23 and revolutionary does not support this HBOOT version yet.
I want to know if there is a possible way of downgrading the HBOOT version to 1.18 or 1.17 with the S-ON because i cant get S-OFF until its downgraded to something revolutionary supports.
OR
Is there a compatible RUU update utility that will flash my device back to stock and restore everything?
Thanks.

Not until:
1. Revolutionary becomes compatible, or;
2. The ICS RUU is officially leaked, therefore becoming a 'proper' HBOOT in a warranty sense

Before upgrading was your phone having 1.52.720.3 as the firmware version??

From now on, yes it IS possible

I'm still writing the guide... trying to make it noob friendly. it includes suicide bricking and downgrading...
detailed guide soon to be here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23078349 stay tuned

Ah, so you have to brick the phone first to downgrade it? Seems a bit severe but at least it's a method.
Surely if someone was silly enough to S-ON with a new HBOOT they will more than likely properly brick their phone??

HBoot 1.23 S-OFF back to Stock & S-ON

Hey,
i need so send in my Sensation due to various problems (dust under screen, cracking cover etc.)
I'm on Hboot 1.23 S-OFF and a beta version of arhd ics....
Now my question is : when i flash an official rom according to [Guide] to Installing S-off, Unlocking, ClockWork, Root, SuperCID & S-on, will my HBoot version also change ? (1.17 for gb or 1.27 for ICS)
or do i manually have to change the hboot version beforehand ? thanks for your help

Hi,
When you flash an original RUU,it will restore the original ROM,radio,recovery,and firmware.
Just make sure you flash the one appropriate to your region and carrier.
You will still need to restore your CID (if you are SuperCID)

Worked flawlessly, it is back to original state now and on its way to maintenance, thanks a lot for your information

I know this post is pretty old but I was wondering were I would be able to find the original Ruu for a USA T-Mobile htc sensation... I'm stuck on 1.23. And I've tried everything to put my phone back to stock but nothing has worked

Hi,
Look HERE

Re-engineered HBOOT 2.00.002 and ICS.

Hi, guys, first of all I'm an absolute noob so bear with me if I didn't found all the answer even after having searched through the forum.
My big question is about the re-engineered HBOOT 2.00.002. I have a virginal Desire S, non s-off'ed and non rooted, HBOOT is the latest, that is 2.00.002. I want to load the latest official ICS rom from htc and, as I think I understood, HBOOT must be latest version, therefore non s-off since there is no way to s-off that version. But I also would like to just go to CM10 in the future.
Then I read about the re-engineered HBOOT 2.00.002. This HBOOT should give me s-off and the ability to load the ruu rom. Only catch is that you should re-partition the phone. And that's when things get weird. Does I need to do the re-partitioning before installing the ruu ICS rom after installing the re-engineered HBOOT? If so, in order to install the ruu ICS rom, does I need to have any working rom on the phone, that is, does I need to do the nandroid backup to have back my ginger bread 2.3.5 before installing the ruu ics rom?
And going on, currently there is any way to root the phone while on ICS htc stock rom?
But most important of all, what this re-enginnered hboot really is? The revoked/revolutionary mod only works on hboot versions before the 2.xxxx. Is this re-engineered hboot a 2.00.002 official hboot that has been modified to be s-off or is it a previous hboot s-off'ed via revolution but with a different version number?
Thank you all,
Vincent.

If I was you I would forget about the re-engineered HBOOT and just run the RUU and put ICS on your phone.
The re-engineered HBOOT is only for people who have S-Offed using the revolutionary method and have had trouble with the Android 4.0 Sense ROMs. You have absolutely no need to use it now.
If you want CM10 in the future then all you need to do is unlock your bootloader with htcdev, flash a new recovery (4EXT or CWM) and install CM10 from your custom recovery. You will be required to flash the boot.img file separately if you are S-On.

Hi Kavrocks, thank for your prompt answer. I'll surely follow your advice, it's the easiest way and my first goal is to get an easy ICS on my phone. My only doubt is about being able to get to cm10 or whatever else since no rooting hack has already been developed for the new ICS rom.
Do you think HTC will push updates on the new ICS rom or, being it for developer only, it will be just stuck to its original state?

Original.

By what I understand, now that an official ICS ROM is out and thus binary drivers are available, we should expect a fully working non-original ROM in a short time. How much time do you think it will take for the CMx developer to integrate the binaries into the CMx ROM?

Don't tell this my Desire S, HBOOT 2.00.002, S-ON, unlocked with stock ICS and root
Just do this:
- unlock your phone: www.htcdev.com
- Install stock ICS
- install a custom recovery using fastboot
- install superuser using custom recovery

Ok, I've succesfully got ICS on my Desire, eventhough I had to do a 'fastboot oem lock' to get past a 155 error. Now, would you please be so kind to tell me the exact filename of the superuser exploit that you have applied on ICS? I'm asking this to you because I've tried the 3.1.3 on GB2.3.5 and it always hang on 'waiting root access right'.
Thank you.
Vincenzo.

Ok, I'll answer to myself, use the CWM-SuperSU-v0.95.zip archive. It works with ICS.
