Stock with HTC logo during boot after RUU on top of clockworkmod+cyanogenmod

Hi all
Sorry for another thread so soon, but I'm in a very sad situation after I tried to fix my problem described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1381432
So I downgraded from hboot 2.00.0002 til hboot 0.98.0000, s-off'ed using Revolutionary, Revolutionary offered to install ClockWorkMod which I accepted. Using clockworkmod I installed CyanogenMod 7.1. Due to problems with the touch functionality I decided to try to revert back to stock 2.10.401.5.
I read that this could be done just using the official RUU, so I connected my phone in fastboot-mode, ran RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.5_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_219480_signed which detected my phone as "1.28.xx" (which was the version I flashed on during the downgrade) and the RUU went on without error and said "Congratulations, your phone bla bla". But then the phone reboots and never gets further than the green HTC logo on white background.
What am I to do? I can still connect to the phone via fastboot. ClockworkMod recovery console is gone, pressing recovery now just gives the default HTC recovery.

Flash recovery via fastboot.
EDIT:
Lol spastic I just realised what you tried to do. I'm going to leave you a hint, nothing more, and nothing less. This has been explained numerous times over the forum, you could simply do some reading and solve your problem.
All those two images show is that your radio has changed, and the reason your hboot is still the same is because the Revolutionary hboot is protected.
Lastly, on a "general" consensus, people who have no clue about the hardware they've purchased shouldn't be tampering with it.

Sorry, I completely panicked last night after it happened.
This morning, without reading anything other than your post (which was encouraging), I thought of a wealth of options.
One, which was the one i followed, was:
#1: Connect the phone via fastboot
#2: fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-saga.img
#3: now ClockworkMod was working again
#4: choose "back up and restore"
#5: restore my original nandroid backup
But now I will do some reading on how to properly revert back to stock
Thanks

Hmmm .. this is rather different to the replies I normally get.
I'll be maybe a little more helpfull. Try flashing the Engineering HBOOT, get rid of the Revolutionary HBOOT, its nothing more than trouble.
Use this HBOOT (0.98.2000).

Flash that HBOOT using these instructions.

Don't bother with 2.00.2002, it just reduces your cache by 150mb, and donates it to the system partition.

I'm not sure I follow you. All I meant is that I successfully got my self back to the situation where I have revolutionary hboot, clockworkmod recovery and where I'm able to flash the ROMs I want. So that's all good. All you did here was hinting something like "pull your self together and so some more research"

For this next part I'm blown away. How could you know that I actually wanted to get rid of the Revolutionary Hboot while not wanting the 2.00.0002 hboot? Because that's precisely what I want to do - I have touch screen issues and need to check if it's all this rooting/s-off'ing/custom-ROMing that's to blame - so I need a hboot which will let me use stock RUUs.

Although the thread mentions Revolutionary, here are the step and instructions you are looking for. They will also worked when you unlock the HTC bootloader
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122694

I followed the guide but I get

I am S-OFF on xtc clip and hboot 0.98.0002

After s-off with xtc clip use SuperOneClickv2.3.3-ShortFuse.zip to root your phone (you will need adb drivers) ,then install Clockworkmod from android market .... afther that put .zip of your castum ROM on sd card... but Clockworkmod (vol down + Power ,choose recovery ) ....

Hi, superoneclick does not work.
Freezes.
I am on 2.3.3 GB maybe thats the problem?

Do you check adb drivers ,and connection with pc ???
Send me a screenshot

You can also use this it will root the phone for you

Ok, worked !!
The phone was in fastboot, must be in normal USB mode and then start the superclick .exe on the PC.
Phone is now rooted and superuser acces.
Now upgrade to 2.3.5 sense 3.0 Gingerbread.
First i will install 4EXT recovery + make nandroid back-up !

I assume that you know to not update OTA - you will loose the root this way and have a bootloop - see here Flash a prerooted ROM

Good you told me , almost forgot !!!!
Looking for a prerooted ROM close to 2.3.5 sense 3.0 GB.
Can you advise one ?
Leave hboot at 0.98.0002 or go to new ENGboot ?
grts

I would just leave the hboot alone. As for a ROM look around the development section, see what you like. They're all pretty stable.

noob CWD mistake

Ok, I need a little help. I wanted to flash Android Revolution HD 6.0.1(ICS 4.0.3) on my HTC Sensation (T-mobile USA). I was using this tutorial:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300. After I got S-Off to work I began to flash CWD. I made the mistake of copying the wrong PG58IMG.zip file over. Instead of CWD it was the updated ICS firmware. Now I'm stuck with HBOOT 1.23.0000, no CWD, no root. Where should I go from here? Should I try to fix the HBOOT or try to flash CWM another way. Do I need to use ADB? Here is a pic of what I'm working with.

if you s-off you should be able flash the 1.17 eng hboot and go to any rom and flash anything from fastboot,

Hi,
You could try to get hboot 1.17 HERE back on your phone.
Then try to finish the s-off process.

so how would I get HBOOT 1.17.0000 back on my phone since I get an error every time I try to flash it through a PG58IMG.zip file? Any links to tutorials I missed?

Hi,
Place the 1.17 PG58IMG.zip on the root of your sd card using a card reader.
Make sure you do a MD5 checksum of the zip(google it)
Power down the phone,or remove the battery.
Power on holding down volume - and power button.
Let the update go through.
When it finishes,go back in to ROM and delete the PG58IMG.zip.
If you cannot get into ROM,remove the card and use card reader in PC.
You should then be able to carry on "Revolutionary".

Ooo you should be s-off still even after your did IMG.zip
if you completed the s-off before the you flashed the ICS then your s-off should still be there it wont show but its there, if you can try then IMG.zip that has the hboot 1.17

I did that. I'm not that much a noob. That is the problem I was asking in the first place. I cannot update that way. It says "Update Fail" on the screen. Also, the phone is S-OFF, didn't even flash the rom yet. Thanks for your help so far.

Ok I see the picture cause its saying incorrect phone model there is a pdimg.zip that will put your cid to 11111 once that done you should be able to.use and pdimg.zip

Ok, so where would I find that?

Ok, I had to use HTC dev tools to unlock bootloader, then use adb tools to ensure cid was 11111111. Then flashed bootloader back to 1.17.0000. Thanks for the guidance. Was more rewarding to figure somethings out instead of being guided through every step.

It is not mentioned in the firmware topic, but it seems important to do SuperCID before flashing the new firmware in case of problems. I've seen this problem elsewhere on this forum.
But it's nice to know that there is still a solution even if you do not have SuperCID.

xe stuck at bootscreen, no boot into recovery

i have unlocked my phone using htcdev.com, rooted it and then have i tried to install the ota ics but this didnt work *facepalm* (it is stuck at the htc bootscreen) so i tried to install a gb rom so that everything should work but my /recovery is still s-on. so what do i have to do to get my /recovery to s-off so that i can install a rom?
bootloader says:
***UNLOCKED***
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-ON RL

You are one of many in a sad bunch of people.
So many things wrong in what you just said.
"i have unlocked my phone using htcdev.com" - bad choice.
"rooted it" - how ?
"S-ON" - so, not able to flash anything.
"my /recovery is still s-on" - does not make sense at all.
What you should have done:
First - tried the Revolutionary tool
Second - Taco root, get temp root
Third - tried the Revolutionary tool again
Forth - flashed custom recovery, flashed su-binary to get su access

but i cant use adb it isnt working and i dont know why, so how do i use taco root?

There's an RUU that, if I'm not mistaken, will rest everything back to HBoot 1.17 with S-On and the bootloader locked. You would then be be able to use revolutionary to unlock the bootloader and proceed with rooting the right way.
But I'm not sure if you can do that when you're S-On.
Can someone else chime on if I'm on the right track?

Get a pimply teenager to do it for you.

everything is done for me: flashed another recovery
for those who are still searching to fix this problem: install fastboot, search for 4ext recovery, download the .img, put it in the folder where your fastboot.exe is placed, use cmd: cd <the folder where fastboot.exe is placed>, fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and start bootlaoder -> recovery, then you have just to install a gb rom, this should solve the problem

This thread is a good lesson in life.
Does everyone see what Azyrael did? He solved his problem without out help....but then he came back here anyway to post the results and the solution.
This is how it should always be done! You get a thanks just for coming back.
It makes everyone's life better and avoids this...

Let's get to it!
You must beS-Off to do this!
To Install:
Download this modified hboot: Click Here to Download
Place the zip in your fastboot/adb directory on your computer.
Put the device in fastboot mode (Volume down and power until menu appears, select fastboot using power button)
Connect the device to the computer
Enter the following commands from terminal/command prompt in the fastboot directory, one at a time:
fastboot oem rebootRUU (this puts the device in RUU mode)
fastboot flash zip 1.54-tw-MOD.zip (this flashes the modified hboot zip file)
Important: The flash process halts at around 75% to 90% on phone screen! This is normal and a safety precaution!
The last few percent is the reboot, which is NOT happening automatically, so you get a chance to check the console output before
reboot to make sure it is safe to reboot!
The bar will only fill up to 100% once you type the following command:
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
fastboot reboot-bootloader (this reboots the device to bootloader)
Reverting / Relock / S-ON / Stock
If you plan on reverting to stock-relocked, for any reason:
You should follow the above steps first, but use Stock 1.54 hboot instead. Click to Download
Do this before you relock the bootloader.
/!\ DISCLAIMER: /!\
You are aware that writing to the security protected partitions increases your risk to lose the device exponentially.
You understand and agree that i cannot be held responsible for such or any other damages.
The flash process is theoretically safe and tested, however you are the brains behind the wheel and you are solely responsible for the execution of the process.
You understand that you should not do it if you are not willing to accept this risk.
Keep in mind we are s off so be careful of the commands before entering them, you can brick your device !
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK / RUIN YOUR PHONE IN ANY WAY

i have X920D hTC Asia WWE version/variant, after S-OFF, then change to hTC Asia TW by flashing TW RUU. So this is work for:

You can send me the latest firmware.zip from OTA, i will do the hex editing to remove the Red Text for your device.
Make sure your device already S-OFF, and agree with DISCLAIMER on OP

I'm lazy. Don't have much access to computer. So I shall live with the red text. Haha.
