Help, accidentally got my phone S-on, what to do? - HTC Sensation

Hi all,
Lately I've dropped my phone a few times so now the screen is pretty messed up, but because I've got insurance I can make them repare it. I just wanted to make my phone completely stock again only i found out to late that I have to flash the stock RUU first and I ran the command "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" (don't do this to your sensation!!) and as a result I can't flash the stock RUU and I also can't flash any other firmware, right now I'm on 1.23. I've also tried "fastboot oem writesecureflag 0" but it doesn't help.
Does anyone know what I can do?
Thanks in advance!!

why cant you flash stock RUU ? ..if you find a upgradable/incremental one ..you can happily flash it
go to this guide find your corresponding RUU and flash it
EDIT: consider yourself lucky that you didnt got a brick

Thanks for your guide but I've already tried flashing it and I can't flash anything via Hboot, that's why I'm stuck at 1.23. When I flash a RUU from my home screen I get error 171 after it tries to reboot the bootloader and when I try it from fastboot I get error 155, maybe that's because I'm on a AOSP ROM? I haven't been able to flash a sense ROM yet, I've tried 2.3.4 sense 3.0 and 3.5 4.0.3 sense 3.6 and 4.0 no positive results yet, it keeps looping the bootscreen of the ROM itself.

You should run the ruu from fastboot.. That's what guide says isn't it?
Also error 155 means either you ran ruu from normal screen or you have unlocked bootloader
So in your case.. You need to re lock bootloader if you did unlock using htcdev (to re lock fastboot oem lock)
Try the above and let me know
Also did you got the correct ruu based on your cid? If you followed the guide you would

I think your problem is that you are S-On. Follow the instructions in the dev forum to s-off your device.

Thanks For The Advice
But i cant S-OFF my devices Because only works on HBOOT 1.8.000 and below! im HBOOT 1.9.000
Update your H-Boot, Then S-Off.
You can't flash roms without S-OFF'ing
Good luck!
Yeah, you basically need to start from the beginning using those guides for s-off before you can start messing around with the custom ROMS. It's important to follow the steps exactly (no guessing), because once you have everything setup, it's smooth sailing from then on.

Change CID after Unbrick

Hello Everyone,
I need to send my Sensation in for dust removal. I was running CM9, changed my CID back to BM___01 or something for bell mobility, where the phone came from. I then did the
Code:
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
and got a brick. I unbricked successfully with the unbricking project. Kudos to the devs of that.
I now have a problem. My CID is for bell, so can't flash anything else, error in the ruu.
My hboot is 1.27 and my radio 11.22.3504.07_M, so I can't flash any of the bell ruu because of error 140 wrong bootloader. The only RUUs for bell are gingerbread with really old hboot.
I think I need to s-off and change CID to get a newer ICS RUU on here.
3 questions:
1. can I s-off without any firmware (no recovery, no rom) on the device, so no adb
2. Is there any other way to get a booting rom on here?
3. can I revert back to the gingerbread RUU using some sort of hboot downgrade, once I have something installed? (rom)
Thanks for your help.

Hmm that's a rough situation you are in.. If you can't find the ruu that would be a problem..
First try contacting football.. For ics ruu of bell.. (football provides most of the ruu's.. He is the OP of pyramid shipped rom collections thread present in sensation development section)
Try changing Cid to a well know one
Like this.. What you do is
First reboot to bootloader
fastboot oem writecid HTC__001 (supercid won't work.. So stick with this for now)
Then remove battery..
Then reinsert it. Power on to bootloader
And check Cid
fastboot getvar cid
If this worked.. Great. Find a Europe ruu and flash it
Last .. Try htc-dev unlock.. If luckily you..got unlocked bootloader..
Flash custom rom..Then SOFF..Then change back Cid..Then flash the old ruu of your Cid..Then SON
To get a working rom

For future reference; S-ON is the last thing you do when sending the phone back. RUU needs to happen before that.
The situation you're in, you're going to have to HTC Dev unlock your bootloader, and fastboot flash system and boot, possibly install a firmware PG58IMG as well... hopefully that will be enough to get the phone booting. Then you'll want to S-OFF and flash the RUU (this will also set you back to ***LOCKED***), then you can S-ON.
You guys are so helpful. I will try this.
My utmost thanks,

Is HTC dev unlock reversible, and does it void my warranty even if I reverse it? does it leave any trace/can they tell?
Getting S-OFF removes all trace of it.

And then getting S-ON again will be like stock configuration?
No, going S-OFF changes ***UNLOCKED*** back to ***LOCKED***

yep...
if you use juopunutbear soff after HTC-dev unlock ..you will get locked/juopunutbear bootloader (instead of relocked )
then RUU (to make everything stock..and to prevent wrong SON brick) and SON again ..will be complete stock
Again, I am amazed by your helpfulness.
Thanks guys! you run the general section

I can't flash firmware because it says "parsing package" and then does nothing
I can't push a system.img because it says "too large"
I've tried ARHD, CM9, and stock zippified roms, and none of them boot. Probably firmware issue, but see first problem...
any tips?

ohk for firmware flash you can use this
copy the firmware zip (PG58IMG.zip) to the adb/fastboot folder
open command prompt from adb/fastboot
then these commands one by one
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU (black screen with silver HTC)
fastboot flash zip PG58IMG.zip (if failed while flashing in the middle ..be careful)
fastboot reboot-bootloader
that would flash the firmware

bro...i hit thanks!
I was actually wondering about the issue of having to flash the boot.img if restoring a TWRP backup. I assumed that it would have to be flashed via fastboot, since boot.img is obviously needed but can't be accessed by recovery on the 1.14 hboot. But haven't seen that discussed or confirmed here. Doesn't actually apply to my One X, since I'm on the old hboot. More just wondering academically.
Seems like the OP has taken the route of running the RUU. But if you ever need the boot.img for a stock ROM, many of the stock ROMs are posted in Development. So you can download the right one, and pull boot.img from it.
Yes you need to flash boot.img when restoring a backup on hboot 1.14.

Thanks for the tips guys, I also used this just now to unroot my phone and return it to bone-stock. I used the All-in-one tool to relock the bootloader and got the same error message that OP got, but after rebooting into the bootloader it said Re-Locked. Then downloaded HTC Sync and the 2.20 RUU and ran it. Took 15 minutes total and my phone looks stock, unless of course some busybody at AT&T decides to check the bootloader.
I am returning my One X and buying a One X + tomorrow morning.
EDIT: Oh and in case anyone is confused, you DO NOT need to flash boot.img in order to flash the 2.20 RUU.
i heard people say that they flashed the twrp boot backup in fastboot and it worked the same as flashing the boot from rom.zip in the ruu. i prefer the ruu method for going back to stock, just seems more official imo.

Stock AT&T ROM

Hi everyone. Well, i`m not totally noob, but i`m not a developer. Because the language i dont understand somethings, my english its not sooo good.
I`ve successfully unlock htc amaze 4g, htc desire hd, so i know how to follow instructions as well. My problem is:
I`ve bought a HOX AT&T Locked, and before get the unlock code, i unlock the bootloader and rooted the phone follow this steps:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957193
Everything its OK, i'm with the JELLYBAM ROM, and everything works fine. But when i put the unlock code, it didn't work. Says that failure.
The man who sends me the unlock code saids that the phone have to be in the stock rom to work.
SO, my question is what the correct steps to follow now to get my stock rom back.
My hboot its 1.14
My old stock ROM its 2.2
Its only follow these steps?

I Need to relock the booatloader?
Thank you in advance. And sorry for my english, i'm from Brazil.
yes relock your bootloader and while you are in bootloader hook your phone to your computer you should see fastbootusb come up then run the ruu and when it is doen your phone will be like out of box stock
you don't need to be stock, you just need to be on a sense rom
i wouldn't run the ruu just to have to reunlock and all that later, but if you run into problems later you do have to relock your bootloader to run the ruu. you run "fastboot oem lock" and then run the ruu from fastboot screen.

So i have to relock the bootloader before flash the rom.. OK, i will search how to relock it.
And to install the stock rom? Its just run the .exe file while i`m at the boatloader?

Yes you can. You don't need to achieve S-OFF to install custom ROM. I don't recommend you to install Official RUU ICS because it has been reported many times to be buggy and laggy. If you want a better feeling of that, you should install IceDS or IceCreamSaga ROMs.
I have another problem. I wanted put RUU-ICS, but always get message ERROR 155. Every time, I dont know why. I am from Serbia, and people from HTC send me a link for RUU - ICS, and when I start with proces- eject ERROR 155-every time, after I tried another RUU-ICS again error 155, I tried 4 RUU- ics, and always error 155.
Why I get always this message, and what I do?. S-ON, bootloader-relocked, rooted phone.
i tried this and i flashed a custom rom with s-on and it just keeps booting into recovery mode

Is your phone branded to any mobile carrier- by any chance?
Because if it was, to override the branded version by WWE 4.0.4

you should use < gold card >
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1248095
If i remember correctly, error 155 refers to CID mismatch- wrong RUU version
But in your best interest is to double check what others say
Edit: unles something has changed,
there was only one ics ruu version for desire s
to be found on htcdev website..
How come you found four of them?

But always when start flashing,eject 155 error, bootloader first unlocked, after before process I locked again bootloader,and in HBOOT writing RELOCKED-you say this is mistake because bootloader is unlocked, it not true- on my case.
After I use HTC SYNC- register phone and recognized, everything pass easy,and ROM is installed.

Since your device is still s-on you need flash the boot.img manually.
Extract the boot.img from the rom, boot your device into fastboot and enter
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Flashing pacman into my friend's desire s , after unlocking it, i tried every recovery, formatting every partition manually, and flashing the boot.img using fast boot, but could not get beyond the white HTC screen. I wonder why it was being so... I own a one s, and have used multiple sense and aosp based ROMs on it without a hiccup (am s-on).
Any help would be really appreciated
