[Q] Cant flash radio anymore - HTC Sensation

I went from custom to stock rom and then back to custom rom again.
After this I cant flash radios anymore.. Still have my S-OFF and obviously CWM. Flashing the ROM went without any problems, but flashing a new radio.. No go..
Tried to use adb as well as P58IMG.zip files, no chance.. Any ideas?
fastboot flash radio radio.img

Since your S-OFF I would try running the official RUU for your country/carrier, and then flashing radio via fastboot

You are soff but the bootloader is still locked. That's the issue you are having
So you can just flashed the jb_hboot.zip
From this site
http://unlimited.io/hboot-downloads/
Get the pyramid ics one and flash it.. Using the instructions/commands given in the same site
Once flashed using those commands
Then come back to bootloader using
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then you can flash the radio
Sent from my pyramid.. Through blazing fast sonic waves

Silly me, ofc, while reverting to stock I used an official RUU, just had to flash an unlocked RUU and voila.. Been a while since I did this, so this part slipped my mind

[Q] Trying to flash radio and getting Failed remote not allowed

I am having an issue upgrading my radio 10.56 to 10.58. I run the flash radio.img command and I get this error...

I have been googling around and I am seeing that I need Eng S-Off for other models of HTC phones, but I do not know if mine is on or off because it does not show on the fastboot screen. I am running AR HD 4.1.2 and I am having issue with cell signal.
Can anyone help?
In hboot (bootloader mode) does it have the pink revolutionary in the top?
If you s-off with revolutionary, then flash an ruu, you keep s-off, but lose fastboot.
Try running revolutionary again (it will error out, but you will get revolutionary hboot flashed), then your fastboot commands should work again.

Hi,
You only need S-OFF to flash a radio.
Have you got the latest HYC Sync.
This will install the latest drivers you might be missing.
That fixed it! Thanks a million!!!

What am I doing wrong?
Ok, I have just read this post and updated my HTC Sync (I now have version 3.0.5579) and I am still getting the "FAILED (remote: not allowed)" error.
I have just flashed Android Revolution 4.1.6 and I was trying to install Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2 over my current 10.43a.9007.00U_10.51.9007.27_M3.
What am I doing wrong?
Cryo
Phone: HTC Sensation
Rom: Android Revolution HD™ 4.1.6
Recovery: 4 EXT
Kernel: 3.6.35.14-Sensation-faux123-0.2.3r+
I also had problems with it. I did the revolutionary procedure again, ensuring that the process completely finishes (make sure you kill any processes listening to USB ports, like AppleMobileDevices, etc.)
After installing revolutionary again I could flash the radio.img
Basically, the Revolutionary procedure doesn't work properly. It's meant to reboot the bootloader automatically 3 times to complete the process. For some reason, it's broken and after the first reboot you'll get a 'communication error'.
Your HBOOT will still show S-OFF but it won't be the Revolutionaty HBOOT which unlocks the fastboot commands needed to manually flash a new radio.
As said above, keep running Revolutionary until it tells you it's done and then you're good to go. The safer way to flash a radio is to download it from the radio thread as a PG58IMG.zip and flash it via HBOOT
Hi, i have the same problem with the Android Revolution HD™ 6.0.2 rom. There was manual install instructions, i used the adb to restart in bootloader, but when i type "fastboot flash radio radio.img" i get the same error remote not allowed. Unfortunately i cant install revolutionary again, because looks like my hboot is 1.23 which is not supported (in the site the hboot goes up to 1.18 i think). Any idea how to apply the radio? (Radio_11.65.3504.00U_11.19.3504.29_2.rar)?
edit: the easiest way for me was to download the latest 11.x radio from the radio thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178143) then replace its radio.img file inside the PG58IMG.zip with my file that is supposed to be flashed directly via adb. Then i place this zip file inside the sd card, reboot in boot loader and all is done without any errors etc.
Im having trouble updating the radio to 11.68.3504.00U_11.21.3504.13_2, it says every time i flash "failed remote not allowed". Im using HBOOT 1.23 ARHD 6.0.3

[Q]Fastboot flash radio failed, any solution?

Hello!
I wanted to flash another radio.img onmya HTC Ones C2 (VilleC), and I got this error:
Code:
fastboot flash radio radio.img
sending 'radio' (22541 KB)...
OKAY [ 3.015s]

To explain, I have unlocked bootloader and installed custom TWRP recovery. I believe that radio is for this phone cause I have unpack it from official RUU for HTC VilleC. Any ideas?
Ok I've managed to make flashable zip, and i have succesfully flashed it with TWRP. But strange thing happened that Baseband numbers are still the same. So I have deceided to tray manually flash new radio, with "dd" command, again everything went well but still no change in baseband. I have also flash rcdata.img, still no change. Is it possible that on One S radio can't be flashed manully but only with running RUU??

What is your hboot version? On the s4 if you are on certain hboots you can't flash radios and it does exactly what you are describing.

Please help unable to UNLOCK

i had the issue with NO SERVICE and WIFI issue and i fixed all of these after changed cid to 11111111 and installed OTA RUU_Ville_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.31.401.5 and everything went perfect no service and wifi fixed!
than when trying to UNLOCK im getting:

****UPDATE: every time u use RUU update u must generate new token from dev for unlock..
Is your Bootloader unlocked when you try flashing the recovery? Because from what i can understand your bootloader wont unlock and your attempting to flash recovery in fastboot
Also i think recall seeing alot of people getting no service and wifi problems after changing CID and flashing EURO RUU...

Stuck in fastboot

Hello,
I have a Desire S, I think it has been first S-OFF with Alpharev (hboot 6.98-1002), and then a RUU has been patched (14.01.401.2). From now, the phone isn't able to boot anymore, I only have access to fastboot/bootloader
I've tried to flash the official hboot using fastboot flash hboot hboot.img
but it has not been flashed :

I think this post is in the wrong section, you should post it on the Q/A section
oups my bad !
Don't repost. I've 'reported' your thread asking for it to be moved.
The problem is that the hboot version (6.98.x) is higher than 2.02.0002. Either flash the official hboot with the dd if= of= method, or flash an eng hboot with a lower version (0.98.x or 2.00.2002) (also with the dd method, instructions can probably be found in the hboot threads) and flash the RUU again.
Edit: another option would be to flash hboot 7.00.1002 by the PG88IMG.zip method, and then flash the PG88IMG.zip version of the Ics RUU (search the dev section).
Problem is, using the dd if= of= method requiere adb, which is not possible in my case, I only have fastboot.
edit : i'm trying with 7.00.1002 by PG88IMG.zip
Ok so 7.00.1002 using PG88IMG had worked, but my phone does not boot.
I'm trying to reflash RUU, see if it solves the problem. Or maybe I'm not flashing the correct RUU ?
Reflashing RUU and the phone is booting again !
Is there any way to get back to stock S-ON hboot ?

I think the only way would be the dd method (probably best flash a lower version number eng hboot, then flash the RUU again and it should overwrite everything).

[Q] Trying to get back to stock

Some info
C:\Users\e073175\Downloads\HTC_ONE_X\rom>fastboot getvar version-main
version-main: 2.20.502.7
finished. total time: 0.026s
And I have HBOOT-1.14.0002
I show
TAMPERED
RELOCKED
I can not seem to flash back to stock using htc_one_x_RUU_2.20.502.7_att_us_08022012.exe, it fails.
So then I get the rom.zip file from htc_one_x_RUU_2.20.502.7_att_us_08022012.exe and run...
C:\Users\e073175\Downloads\HTC_ONE_X\rom>fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img
sending 'boot' (6156 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.983s]

Im guessing this is because I followed the instructions (to relock the bootloader) before I ran htc_one_x_RUU_2.20.502.7_att_us_08022012.exe
What would you recommend as my next step?

The error that you are getting seems to be indicative of a known issue. I am sure someone who knows whats up will be along shortly. At least you can take comfort in knowing you are not the only person with this issue. That is when things get scary lol.
Are you s-on or s-off? Do you have SuperCID? I would not use the methods you have chosen to return to stock.

Ok Tim... So what do I do to get 2.20 on the phone, stock...
If you're wanting to run the at&t RUU you'll also need the at&t CID. Otherwise you need to run the RUU that corresponds with the HTC__621 CID. Why is it the 2.20 in particular that you want?
Sent from my Evita
Im not stuck on 2.20. I just want the phone back to stock.
Ok, so then you need to run an RUU that's compatible with the CID you have, and it can't be a backyard update.

Well, that is my question... What RUU is compatible with my CID? And can I change the CID to work for an AT&T RUU, because it seems like 621 is a tawian RUU. If I can, what do I need to change the CID too?
Did you change the CID to HTC__621? It doesn't look like an Evita CID.

No, when I got the phone a while ago, I rooted and superCID'ed it. It was changed to 1111111, but now for some reason it has changed to 621, which I dont quite understand and has caused quite an issue for me trying to go back to stock.
The CID can't just change by itself, that doesn't make any sense. Are you certain that you were successful in getting SuperCID when you rooted the phone?

I bought the phone in San Antonio at an AT&T store.... Way back when the phone just came out...
At that point, after XDA had root and SuperCID, I did those... And put CM10 on it... Through many upgrades and tinkering, somehow the phone got the CID 621. An Asian CID, I did NOT do this.
Regardless, it is fixed now. I followed the instructions in this thread to change the CID back to 1111111. It worked, then what I did was push the recovery and boot from 2.20 to the phone, then re-locked it.
At this point, I ran the 2.20 RUU and it took... Then I ran the 3.18 phone and now... QHSUSB_DLOAD

You pulled a classic megadoug. S on super Cid ruu strikes again. JTAG is the only way to fix it now

Yep. S-on + SuperCID + jb RUU = brick. So you'll need a jtag repair. It's worth tying the unbrick method but nine times out of ten it doesn't work.
