[Q] HTC Desire S: Can't install FOTA - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hi all. I'm pretty much a DIY girl, rooted my Android phone last year with Revolutionary, and made it S-ON again yesterday so I can apply the updates, which has been long delayed considering the ICS and latest Sense are here and I still got Gingerbread and sense 2.1. I'm not sure though if I was successful in unrooting my phone. Here's what comes up when I press and hold volume-down and power:
**** LOCKED ****

HBOOT-2.00.0002
RADIO-3822.10.08.04_M
eMMC-boot

When I try to install the system update, it turns off the phone and bring me to the fastboot/hboot white screen (you know what I mean), and I don't know how to continue from there so I just reboot my phone and return to its old software. I even tried to factory reset it but the same thing happened (Oh no, even the factory reset doesn't work now!). How do I get past this?
Just to note, I tried to make a gold card and install 5 different RUU... I just get "ERROR 131 CUSTOMER ID ERROR".
Please help me. I will be SO grateful. Thank you!

HELP PLEASE! DHD stuck on logo after Stock RUU without GOLDCARD

So my DHD is stuck on the black screen with HTC logo and an error symbol in each corner. This happened after trying to install an unbranded stock RUU on my DHD which is branded and is on Vodafone AU with 2.2 and 1.32.178.5. I read that somebody else fixed this problem by reinstalling the original software with RUU. However i can only find my exact software in a zip, not RUU...Also i don't have a gold card.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as i have no idea what to do now.
When I unplug from usb i see this:

[Q] How to go back to T-Mobile Stock Rom?

Hi,
some weeks ago I had a great idea to flash my T-Mobile Branded Desire S to a HTC Stock one and finally get Android 2.3.5 and Sense 3.0.
While having a hard time to learn how to S-Off the device, Flash a RUU. Lock my bootloader again ... make a Goldcard and so on. I finally managed to finish it.
But now I've got to go back to my T-Mobile Rom for warranty. I noticed a dead Pixel, some issues with my battery case which makes random noise if I grab my phone and some other stuff.
My Phone:
***LOCKED***
SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT - 2.00.0002
RADIO - 3822.10.08.04_M

I want it to be like this :
SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT - 0.98.0002
RADIO - 3805.06.02.03_M
eMMC-boot
As I am a big idiot, I deleted my backup, because I thought i would never need it again ...
So - is there a way for me to flash it back and give it to T-Mobile OR to leave it like this and send it to HTC for warranty?
... OR am I doomed to live with a phone like that?
You'll need to most likely downgrade your version, v1.28.401 I think is the oldest. Then you can install an RUU of a t mobile RUU.

I rooted and rommed my own phone some time back without any problems, thanks to many excellent posts on this site. My boss kept moaning that his sensation kept crashing/hanging/behaving badly - so I told him that I would root and rom his phone, Which I have done. Problem is though there's no BT or WIFI. I have tried several variations on PG58IMG.ZIP but none even offer to carry out the upgrade. The phones CID is VODAP001 and the text from the HBOOT is as follows....

I cannot seem to change the CID (I tired to superCID it). I'm fairly sure that it's the radio.img that needs to be updated - can anyone help me as to why this isn't happening. What PG58IMG.ZIP should I be using are there any additional locks that Vodafone have put on that I need to remove. The OS seems to work fine except no wifi or bluetooth. The ROM I installed is the AKOP milestone 6. Please help, my boss might sack me! :crying:
You would probably be better getting the phone to have S-OFF first.
You've not stated if the phone has gone through the HTCdev unlock mechanism. Although, I don't know what that achieves in comparison to full S-OFF.
EDIT:
In About Phone -> Software information what does it say r.e.:
Software Number
More -> Baseband version
dev unlocked and s-off. Sorry, I thought that was implied where I said "root and rom his phone, Which I have done"
Android version 4.0.4
baseband version 11.69A350400U_11.23.3504.07_M2
Kernel 3.0.16-gda3fdfc

Build Number IMM76I
mod ver aokp_pyramid_build-40
I've tried several PG%*IMG.zip files that appear to be the correct versions, but all they do is get as far as the Parsing... then returns me to the fastboot screen. Everything on the phone appears to work correctly except radio services (BT & Wifi) and the SD card won't mount on PC on USB mode, but I'm not bothered about that - if the Wifi works I can always network files onto the phone.

Hi,
According to your hboot,it says "S-ON" .
That is why no PG58IMG.zip will work
It seems that if you cannot see that,you should really not be playing with your boss's phone.
If you intend to carry on,look in my signature at the "Asskicker Thread "
That deals with s-on and flashing custom ROMS...

[Q] Identifying my problems with 2nd hand device

What's up forum,
so I just got a second hand HTC One Mini and it came with Sense 5.5. I tried to update, but it failed in the middle of the process after reboot with a red exclamation mark and an error saying that some HtcVoiceRecorder.apk is missing and it cannot update. So my device is stuck here. I guess that the person who had it before me tried to put it in stock, but did something wrong. Some info from bootloader:
M4_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.22.0000
RADIO-1.24.40e.00.26
OpenDSP-v19.2.0268.0927
OS-3.10.206.6
eMMC-boot 1024MB
Mar 12 2014, 19:28:44.0
I guess that "RL" in the first line means that this phone was "ReLocked" in the past as my personal untouched M8 doesn't have RL in that same line. What are my possibilities to make the phone install OTAs? I already found out that I probably can't get S-OFF, so I'm lost.
Thanks in advance!
