Put phone into fastboot mode then run the RUU exe file again - should solve 155 error, if not then use fastboot oem getvar cid and flash a 3.32 firmware from the dev section that has your cid number in. out of curiosity what RUU are you trying to flash?

after this RUU_PYRAMID_LE_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.32.401.105_R2_Radio_11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M_release_253443_signed
the loop started.
can i ruu a GB file RUU_PYRAMID_LE_HTC_Europe_1.73.401.4_Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2_release_220036_signed

i didnt undestand how to select that firmware file, my cid is 11111111 and mid PG5811001, can you help me get it, my battery charge might run out, i tried just plugging it into power but it shows the light and starts to bootloop.
Anyway i need to s off but all the methods require to boot in to the system, is their anyway to s off while staying at the fastboot. thanks

Pull out the battery, then reinsert, hold volume down & poeer, then connect your phone to the pc and re run the ruu. The first time that you ran the ruu, it made a hboot pre update.
Run the same ruu that you ran last.

I'm tired of having to explain something that's so simple.

try to change your recover, download clockwork_rec_img
and in fastboot flash it like :
fastboot flash recovery your_recovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
now select recover, and you should get the clockwork mod recov, and do the flash from zip stuffs,
also if im right from fastboot
u need to do fastboot update rom.zip, to update a rom, but it needs to be signed
oh u can download the recovery image in droid recovery manager, i did not used it to flash tho, just to dload

Don't wary dud we will try all .
First download costom recovery and old stock rooted Rom better 2.3.3 with unsecured boot.img
Extrect costom recovery and rename
.img file to recovery.img
1. Downloaded custom recovery (ext4) put it in adb tool folder.
2. Put your sensation in fastboot connect usb.
3. Open cmd on pc form adb tool folder
4. Type "fastboot devices" is your connected or not if yes. Then
5. Type "fastboot flash recovery.img"
"fastboot reboot-bootloader"
Now go to recovery it will work.
If get that than contact me for next to get s-off "[email protected]"

[Discussion] Rogers Post-911 Rooting

I wanted to bring this in here, as I found a way to enable fastboot to flash recovery!
Quick device info update:
HBOOT-1.33.0010
Radio-3.22.26.17
Ok, first put the phone into fastboot mode. Then execute the command:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Wait for it to reboot in RUU mode. Then, when I execute fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-dream-v1.6.2R.img, I get the following:

[Q] Pyramid stuck in fastboot-loop

Hi there.
I've got an unbranded htc sensation device (manufactured for india). lat week i updated to cm9, and accidentally got a 1.29 hboot. after that I tried to flash the stock ICS for my pyramid. so, the situation is:
cid HTC__038
hboot version 1.29.0000
radio 11.24A.3504.31_m
openadsp v05.6.0.2226.00.0418
pyramid pvt ship s-on locked.
working adb, fastboot connection
i've got no working rom on the device, stuck in fastboot-loop.
there is no possibility to use revolutionary s-off because of hboot version 1.29, and because the non-working system (cannot put in debug mode)
i tried to flash the lastest 3.33 firmware, bit it still uses a previous version of hboot. (something messed up with signature check fail)
i cannot flash a non-official rom befause s-on.
do i have any possible steps to make my phone working with ics+sense?
all the answers will be "thanked" & btw sorry for my bad english

I actually did this, with the same results. Is it a possible way if modify the partitions by a partitioning software running on pc, and manually edit the partitions' files, changing them to the correct ones, came from the official rom.zip file? I think (dont hit me if i was wrong), this way I can bypass all the s-on and locked bootloader stuff, maybe I can downgrade from hboot 1.29 without wire tricks, and install the stock ICS for pyramid.
what about the PG58IMG stuff? I can modify the removable sd card's files, so i can insert PG58IMG things to root, the phone is actually reads it. what if I somehow inject the Unlock_code.bin into some kind of PG58IMG, and apply this way the unlocking?
could be anything of these upper is working?

Nope can't/won't work
We could try one thing... Try changing cid
fastboot oem writecid HTC__001
Then ignore errors and reboot
fastboot reboot-bootloader
And check cid again
fastboot getvar cid
If it changed then you can very well flash European unbranded ruu and then boot to a working rom
If it not worked.. Then send a PM to FOOTBALL and ask for Indian ruu.. He might charge some minimal amount based on the scarcity of the ruu.. But if you got proper Indian ruu then you will come out of the boot loop fine

You have working adb when in boot loop?
Then you can try my temp-root and then jb SOFF process.. Link in my signature
Have slim chances of working.. But worth a try

cid change is done, now it's HTC_001.
i tried to flash RUU-Pyramid-ICS-hTC-Europe-3.33.401.53-Radio-11.76A.3504.00U-11.24A.3504.31-M-release-280871-signed's rom.zip from the temp, renamed to PG58IMG, copied to sdcard's root.
phone said: "lower hboot version"
is there any stock htc ROM with hboot 1.29?
if no, is it a possible way to change the zip to contain a 1.29 hboot version?
edit: i've got no bootloop, but at power-on I'm suddenly passed to fastboot screen without any boot process
but fastboot usb connection is always working, fastboot devices responses are always positive.

Awesome... That will solve our issue now
Do this copy the New PG58IMG zip file to your fastboot folder
And try these commands one by one
fastboot erase cache (if failed ignore it)
fastboot oem rebootRUU (black screen with silver HTC)
fastboot flash zip PG58IMG.zip (if failed stop there and don't do any thing else and simply paste back the output here)
fastboot reboot
Done
Edit: if the fail at third step is.. Something like.."Hboot pre update... Please flush the rom immediately again"] then repeat the third step again. (i.e this one fastboot flash zip PG58IMG.zip)

To change MID you need S-OFF. The RUU checks MID so if the 3.33.401.153 RUU fails try the 3.33.401.53 one

Ahh as suspected
What happened is you have somehow flashed sensation xe hboot and rest of them have normal sensation counterparts...
I need you to do something now... Download the universal 3.33 firmware from kohr-ah firmware thread in sensation development section..
Then extract the zip
Open android-info.txt file and replace version-main with 3.33.401.53
And save it
Also you have the rom.zip of the normal sensation 3.33.401.53 right.. Get the hboot.nb0 (the name will be big but the extension remains same) and replace the hboot.nb0 present in the firmware zip with this one..
Then remake the firmware.. PG58IMG.zip
Then try to flash this... Obviously it will fail.. But if that replaces the hboot you are having then all is well
So after the above exercise.. You need to try flashing normal sensation rom.zip again
Hopefully it works

Help, stuck in bootloader and hboot screens

I got home from work plugged my phone in and went to sleep. When I woke up the phone was on the bootloader screen. It wont do anything but switch screens from bootloader to hboot. I have trying installing the stock rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...zip-ruu-m8vzw-5-0-1-s-off-onlynewest-t3047103 it fails to load from an micro sdcard.
This is a Verizon One M8 phone that has been rooted since release. I have been running Venom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715225 4.3.0 for verizon users.
On the hboot screen it says:
** software statusffical ***
*** Unlocked ***
M8_mlv pvt ship s-offf
cid-vzw__001
hboot-3.19.0.0000
radio-invalid_ver_info
opendsp-invalid_ver_info
os-4.17.605.5
emmc-boot 2048mb
(time and date)
Also when it reboots it shows the android guy in the middle of the screen. It never show the HTC logo.

What ROM did you have installed when this happened?

Venom 4.3 for Verizon
SD card method should work always as long as you are using fat32 and have the file name exact. If it's not working too aren't doing one of the two above correct.

I have messed up my oneplus one bacon
I was using lineageos 16 and all was fine. For some dumb reason like getting 'Screen mirroring' feature, I decided to go back to lineageos 15.1. Somewhere in the instructions I [mis]read, a clean wipe is recommended to go back to previous release.
I wiped all my partitions from twrp. That's why, my system partition is gone.
I tried a bunch of things after searching on these forums for similar symptoms, but no luck as of yet.
I tried to flash the stock recovery and stock ROM
Recovery flash was successful and so I am on CWM, but the ROM failed as the system partition could not be mounted/unmounted
Now, my phone's state -- I have Cyanogen recovery
