I updated to ICS via OTA while already S-OFF. I thought I would able to update recovery again via hboot and nandroid back, but I seem to be stuck.
Any ideas? I double checked and the script shows model id pg5813000.
Help?

nandroid backup wont have recovery (it just has the backup of ROM)..so it wont work
as far as flashing recovery via Pg58IMG.zip file from bootloader
you need to make sure that android-info.txt inside the zip has your cid and mid
if it doesn't match..just edit and replace with yours
to get your cid and mid---fastboot commands
fastboot getvar cid
fastboot getvar mid

I hope you are still on an ENG Hboot, if not, please get user friendly firmware corresponding to your CID and flash it.
Now, I've attached a recovery.img, this is your stock recovery.
Connect fastboot usb
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
Then apply OTA.
PS: Being a senior member I assume you don't need more help than that, if you do, please post back

Thanks for your help guys.
I'm not trying to apply ota, I've already done that. I'm already at bone stock ics, and trying to flash clockwork recovery so I can restore a nandroid of cm7, but the new Hboot doesn't like any of the files that used to work fine.
Unfortunately I am not on an engineering Hboot, but I am still S-off. Will fastboot still work?
The phone boots and runs fine, but I might be stuck with no way back to root.
This thread is about the sensation, but I'm using the glacier because it still has cm7 on it.

Mate, just go my tool (link in description), there is a recovery.img for 4EXT in the attachments.
Flash it like I told you. If it fails , you will need to get an ENG boot by flashing appropriate fw.
Hope this helps.

I think you misunderstand. I am not trying to apply the OTA because I have already done that. I am currently stuck at stock rom, with stock recovery, but s-off, and I'm trying to get my custom recovery back so I can restore a cm7 build, or maybe flash cm9.
Right now I'm installing drivers so I can try your fastboot commands.
It worked! I just had the wrong mid/cid in the script. Thanks guys, I'm back in business!

4EXT is a custom recovery. You will be able to restore your NANDROID backup through that recovery.

Yes, because you need an unlocked Hboot for pg58img to be flashed.. so instead of solving the problem, I gave you a workaround of installing 4ext instead of cwm mate..

I have a locked hboot, but S-OFF prevailed because I had done that before applying the ICS ota update.
The issue wasn't which recovery I was installing, the issue was that my hboot wouldn't accept my pg58img.zip file because I didn't have the correct cid and mid in there. Once I corrected that I was able to flash cwm recovery 5.
Your solution of using fastboot to confirm my mid and cid did help, I just chose to use a different recovery. Does that make more sense?

I think you unlocked your bootloader with htcdev, if yes you need to extract the boot.img of the ROM and after flashing the ROM you have to flash the kernel (boot.img) with fastboot, but next time search the forum, this has been discussed many times

Run the ruu without attached device, don't close the the window.
Search inside your temp folder for the rom.zip, copy it to another folder and close the window.
Inside the rom.zip remove the hboot.img and recovery.img.
Flashing with bootloader:
Rename it to PG88IMG.zip.
Put it to the root of your sd.
Reboot to bootloader and follow the instructions.
Delete the pg88img.zip, otherwise it will try to flash it everytime you access the bootloader.
Flashing from recovery:
Put it to your sd.
Wipe all partitions except sd.
Flash it from recovery.
....extract the boot.img from the rom you flash via recovery and put it somewhere in your computer like C:\Android
then when you are in recovery open cmd connect your phone using the cable provided and type adb reboot bootloader
your phone will reboot in bootloader.now type in cmd fastboot flash boot C:\Android\boot.img
then reboot your phone.

That's why the hboot.img and the recovery.img needs to be deleted

Hi,
What were you trying to do?
What ROM were you on,and what firmware?
i had been trying to flash ota ics and since that, the phone is stuck at the htc bootscreen so i wanted to restore the backup or flash a official rom or custom rom but im not able to do this because the phone isnt recognized by adb in the bootloader menu and before all this it had the android version gb 2.3.4. which specific firmware do you mean? hboot version is 1.18.0000...
edit: will it work if i would flash a gb custom rom via pd98img.zip?
Happen to come across this thread and wanted to leave this for future reference. I edited it to suit the Sensation more. I also posted this in the Juopunutbear S-OFF in the Sensation Android Development.
ROM Flashing
1. Obtain a ROM of your choice, and note the location on your computer.
2. reboot your device into fastboot mode via one the following .
1. power off the device then back on with 'vol down ' + power button.
3. Wipe your device.
1. fastboot -w
4 . Update your ROM.
1. fastboot update </path/to/your/RomFile.zip>
5. Your phone will update and automatically reboot into the new ROM.

You can extract all the firmware and software images from an RUU and build them into a PG58IMG.zip... Short answer, yes. However, certain items will not flash if you're not S-off.

Yes you have to be HTC Dev unlocked or S-off to do this. But remember HTC Dev only unlocks the system, recovery, and boot partitions.

to flash rom via fastboot then the rom should be containing img's for each partition
unlike how all the custom roms here are coming (no img's for every thing...like example there is no system.img for most of custom kernels)

1. No, if you have S-ON you can't create a NAND backup as you don't have a custom recovery.
2. ***TAMPERED*** means that an app or apps have gone into your /system/ partition, thereby triggering the tampered flag. You can remove this message by running a HTC RUU.
3. No, you first flash the zip file with the boot.img inside, then flash the boot.img in the bootloader. fastboot flash boot boot.img
1.i do have a custom recovery which i flashed with all in one kit. (i was able to flash it because i unlocked the bootloader but i dont know what s-off means and also supercid)

and i also wanted to know how to s-off and what are the differences between s-off and supercid?

Then yes you can make a backup and restore later. Just always full wipe, cache and dalvik cache wipe.
As far as flashing kernels/boot.img, if you are < hboot 1.13 then just flash via recovery. If your hboot is > or = to hboot 1.13tjen flash via fastboot or flash img GUI (available in the play store and in various threads).
And as of right now there is no s-off for the one s.

S-Off means you have full access to all firmware partitions of the phone (I think, correct me if Im wrong). You can unlock the boot loader to gain access to the relevant partitions to flash a custom ROM even with S-ON.
The phone CID just represents the region it is from. For example HTC_TMOUS is for the One S used on the US T-Mobile network. When the phone checks for updates, it only downloads the one's relevant to the CID. SuperCID is 111111111 and represents the "developer" region you can download or run any update on a One S with super CID.

Yes, you can make nand backups and restore them if you have a custom recovery. You don't need to have s-off for that but you do need to have your bootloader unlocked. Depending on your hboot version, restoring a nand backup will not restore your boot image. (1.09 and below will, 1.13 and up won't.) We do now have the means to downgrade hboot tho.
You get the *tampered* line if your recovery is unsigned. When you use a custom rom, you will most likely also get a red warning text over your boot splash. It's normal.
You have to extract the boot image from the rom zip and flash it in fastboot before you boot the new rom. This may even be before you flash the new rom. You can leave the rom zip unchanged and flash it in recovery.

Correct. On old hboots, pretty much everything except sbl and hboot is writable in recovery or even while fully booted. On newer hboots, most is read-only. Boot image can be flashed in fastboot but radio and other stuff can not.

The mksh root request is a known thing. You can search the forums for it to read some opinions. As far as I know not yet properly explained why it happens but harmless. It is not related to getting stuck in recovery, altho I have no idea what caused that for you.

Can someone give me a direction to go. I have spent last 12 hours just reading stuff and still don't know what to do.

The problem is I didn't take a backup before I unlocked my bootloader and flashed twrp recovery so I don't have a stock recovery to go back to.
The RUU for HTC__044 has a different CID and won't work on my device unless I can extract just the stock recovery from the RUU without having to install it. Is that possible?

What you have to do is
1. Flash stock recovery
2. Lock your bootloader
3. Enter fastboot and run the RUU for your phone
Your phone will then be just as it was when you bought it and then you can run the OTA. Make sure you find the right RUU for your phone. I have been searchiing for one for days and couldnt find it. Hope this helped

Hello guys,
Try this:
Step 1: relock the bootloader (start your phone in fastboot, open cmd, got to folder where are fastboot files, type "fastboot oem lock" )
Step 2: find your desired stock jb or ics online. http://filesdownload.net/showthread.php?70-HTC-One-S-(-RUU_VILLE-)-(-RUU_VILLEC2-)
Step 3: connect your phone to the pc in fastboot (make sure you have the htc drivers installed).
Step 4: run the RUU or stock file as an exe. An installation guide will follow, just follow it through.
Step 5: Now you are in stock ROM
It should work after this!
On my HTC One S [S3] , CID HTC_032 works
splanet.info has something interesting
At least ota is there for htc__622
Nez is right

What you have to do is
1. Flash stock recovery
2. Lock your bootloader
3. Enter fastboot and run the RUU for your phone
Your phone will then be just as it was when you bought it and then you can run the OTA. Make sure you find the right RUU for your phone. I have been searchiing for one for days and couldnt find it. Hope this helped

After I locked my bootloader and tried running the OTA update I tried a few things that didn't work.
But what did work for me was when I unlocked bootloader again
And used Hasoon's Toolkit for One S
and reflashed the recovery file. I used the recovery_signed.img file (5,957 kb) that I had saved from when I was rooting it the first time and renamed it to a one word name per Hasoon's instructions, then flashed it.
Then I relocked bootloader and did a factory reset and ran the OTA update and it worked.
I was lucky that I had that recovery file saved. Still not sure where I got it from. But one thing for sure is that it was hard to find a RUU file for my CID. Hasoon's toolkit does have links to a website with a list of RUUs on it but mine wasn't on the list.
If you want me to email you my signed_recovery.img file send me a pm with your email address and I'll send it.

I have attached the stock recovery just use fastboot to flash it
I decided to update my Dev unlocked Sensation to ICS, but had forgotten it was probably still on a Gingerbread radio. Now I have no working rom, and for some reason I am unable to flash the original rom (RUU) via the SD card method (PG58IMG).
My CID is HTC__E11 and therefor european roms from RUU should work, but I get the following error message when trying the sd card flash: wrong zipped image. In other cases it wont go further than parsing.
When i try to flash the RUU in ruu mode on the phone I get the following error: 99 unknown fail.
Unfortunately I cannot go back to the rom I was on before, since I dont have it anymore.
So the only thing I have now is TWRP recovery 2.6.3 and unlocked HBOOT 1.27.
Furthermore I am unable to see what my current radio firmware is. I want to flash a jellybean rom.
Does anyone know what to do?

Yes I am S-ON. I did try formatting all partitions from twrp, that didnt help. I also tried cwm, but that didnt help either.
My radio was finally displayed by HBOOT, it is: 11.29A.3504.18_M. I believe this is a ICS radio, so there should be no problem here. Unfortunately i cannot find the RUU that corresponds to that radio and trying to flash another ruu wont work.
To go to ICS I just installed the latest CM11 from Sultan, which works on my other sensation (which is S-OFF). I have also tried other roms, but they all wont boot for some weird reason. For every rom I do a full wipe.

If your s-on you need to flash the boot.IMG of your rom from fastboot straight after flashing your rom from recovery pal. But I recommend installing 4ext recovery and enabling its "smart flash" feature and this will do it for you try this and check back pal.

Lol I have been doing this for so long with a S-OFF device that I totally forgot about that! Thank you so much, sorry for my stupidity haha. Still weird that I cannot flash RUU though...
