[Q]Stuck in bootloader after flashing hboot

Hi everyone.
I had my Desire S rooted, CWM and S-OFF and it started to freeze sometimes. So, I decided to make it stock again and flashed recovery and hboot via flashboot. And now I can't flash RUU even with goldcard.
Now my phone shows me only:

I already used search, tried to flash different hboot, tried to flash P88IMG, and nothing works for me. When I trying to flash from flashboot, I get "remote: signature verify fail"
How can I flash stock rom now?

This is the thread, that saved me: Click
Best of luck

Thanks a lot.
I know I'm disabled, but what does firmware.zip means? Is it same with rom.zip? Megaupload is no more exists and I can't get the ROM, that posted in topic. Nothing works for me. I tried to flash zip "rom.zip" as it posted, but it fails with 43 main version check fail.

My phone thinks that he has 11.401 ROM and doesn't allow me to flash older roms. I have no idea how to change version without adb.

Damn. Someone, help me. I flashed ota update and graded hboot to 2.00.0002. After that i tried to unlock bootloader with htcdev. But when I try to confirm unlocking on my phone, it doesn't applies with power button click. But when I try to chose "no", power button works properly.

Thank you, but I can't use adb 'cause of my ROM doesn't loading. It is custom and I flashed stock recovery and hboot on it. And now I can't even unlock my bootloader with htcdev because it don't let me select "yes"
My bootloader now looks like

Loser, I know it. I failed just as started. Flashed Sense 3.0 Official-based old ROM instead of ICS to get acsess to adb commands, killed root, flashed hboot and recovery. And after all I found that version of ROM is 11.04.401 and got 140 error.
What can I do now? Somthing other than cut off my hands? =)

And finally, I succeeded. I flashed firmware.zip from 41.185.19.162/OTA_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.8-1.47.401.4_release_225210uj1q93xrps74xzje.zip After that I tried to flash whole OTA from flashboot oem rebootRUU. There was an error, but after reboot I suddenly booted to ROM. Buggy, almost dead, but I enabled debug and downgraded with zergRush:
cd c:\Downgrade
adb push zergRush /data/local/tmp
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/zergRush
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell /data/local/tmp/zergRush
adb shell /data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 1.27.405.6
And after that I flashed 1.47 stock and updated with FOTA. Now I'm 2.10.401.8 S-ON LOCKED and it works fine.
Sorry for my bad english. Hope It'll help someone else.

help with s-on

Can someone please help, I'm truly stuck here.
I have followed the guide here..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1460713
I have managed to remove the revolutionary logo, and all was good. I then attempted to install the following RUU...
RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.080 5U_38.03.02.11_M_release_177977_signed
Went through all the prompts but the program "hung" at the sending screen. After around an hour I pulled the usb cable, yay the phone still boots. However I was still at the old HBOOT (cant remember the numbers 6.0.0002 or something ) and with the custom rom.
Though this might be a problem with the RUU... NAY.
I have since tried he following..
RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.47.401.4_Radio_20.28I.30.085 AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199410_signed
RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.5_Radio_20.4801.30. 0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_219480_signed
RUU_Saga_O2_UK_1.31.206.1_Radio_20.28b.30.0805U_38 .03.02.14_M_release_178935_signed
All with the same results.
So I downgraded the hboot manually to 0.98.0002 and tried them all again. Still no luck.
The reason I have tried the different RUU is that it was originally from carphone warehouse. Their phones are generally unbranded so assumed it would be a standard euro ruu.
Please help.

I really don't get what the problem is. Removing the "Revolutionary" logo isn't the same as being S-ON. But check out the link below to see if it helps.

Dont suppose anyone has any thoughts on this? Carphone flat out refused to touch it once the noticed S-OFF

Help! N00b broke his Sensation :(

Hello all,
So I tried rooting my phone yesterday, found out I was on 1.27.0000 and almost gave up but then I found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1632553&highlight=downgrade
I got root access and then (here's where I did the stupid bits) I skipped doing the S-OFF bit, skipped backing up my current ROM and chucked Cyanogen 9 on there.
Now it just loops at the C9 boot up screen.
I've tried the S-OFF step after but get an error that it 'cannot find smart_IO.crd'
I've tried downloading an RUU.exe. If I run the exe from fastboot USB I eventually get an error and on the phone it says Security error.
I've extracted the ROM.zip from the RUU, renamed it to PG58img.zip, chucked it on the root of my sd card but this doesn't appear to do anything.
I've tried installing the zip - nada.
Tried overwriting my ROM with Elegencia, seems to install ok but I still get the C9 looping boot screen.
Any other tips? I've searched and searched the forums and tried everything I can find!!

nw extract the boot.img from the last rom you've flashed
keep that in your adb folder (folder where you got adb.exe)
connect your phone in fastboot/bootloader to pc (phone reads "fastboot usb" after that)
then open command window from the adb folder
type this command
fastboot flash boot boot.img
then reboot using this command
fastboot reboot
then it should boot
after that immediately i mean IMMEDIATELY read the below guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861
read read read the above guide completely ..understand what different you need to do (ppl with S-ON and unlocked bootloader) TO PROPERLY FLASH A ROM

Didn't help I'm afraid.
Boot.img went down fine, rebooted and still get the CM9 bootloop.
I looked at the guide anyway and the author linked to another boot.img so I tried that too, same thing.

first check the md5 of the downloaded cm9
use this md5 checker to verify the md5 of the rom (if you got no md5 tool)
then do a complete wipe ..i.e wipe /boot /system /data and factory reset
flash the rom again
then extract the boot.img from the cm9 rom and flash it via fastboot (as explained earlier)

OK got the tool, verified the md5.
When I do a wipe data/factory reset I get an error:
E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk1p2
It then completes.
Same result however

format the sdcard and do the wipe again

Formatted the ccard (there's now not a singe thing on it, even had a look through windows.
Same thing when I wipe though
Pushed the boot.img again and now it freezes on the white HTC boot screen.
Progress?
Tried the RUU.exe again but still go the same security error

AHH F**K it we'll try fresh/from starting completely
first post the complete details present in bootloader
also the output of the following command
phone should be connected to pc from bootloader and then open command window in adb folder (folder where you got adb.exe typically C:/AndroidSDK/tools or C:/AndroidSDK/platform-tools)
and then type this
fastboot getvar all (post everything except IMEI )
then we can decide what to do next

OK.

everything seems alright ..so i presume the recovery is the culprit
follow the below guide completely to the letter (even install ARHD ROM ..lets get the phone booted up first..then you can change the roms )
flashing ROMS with SON and HBOOT 1.27

That did it!!
I was about 2 minutes away from smashing this phone to pieces but you saved the day!
Thanks man!!

Can someone help me to bring this phone to live, what ruu I need a download to instal it, radio, image?
Lock, problem solved.

In your shoes, I'd suggest attempting to flash a recovery environment to your phone, such as Clockworkmod or 4EXT.
Boot your phone into the bootloader in the fashion that you have presumably done already (hold down the down volume button and then press the power button for a second or two) and then when the bootloader appears, select Fastboot. Plug your USB cable into your PC (assuming you already have necessary drivers installed; you may need to download HTC Sync if not) and then use the Android Development Bridge (from the Android SDK) to flash a recovery of your choice.
When recently S-Offing and rooting a Sensation XE (a bit over a week ago) I had to start by flashing an older version of Cyanogenmod; CM9, the last official release directly from them, from their website, using some of their instructions here:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_pyramid
...and the last stable release of CM9 for the Sensation, from here:
http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?type=stable&device=pyramid
After that, I was able to jump to 4EXT and install Shantur's CM11 ROM here:

He got this unlocked phone from someone as a gift which worked for a while but now this is what happens:
1. Phone does not start (except for hboot screen)
2. Unable to do factory reset or get into recovery.
3. Unable to see device in adb. I am able to see my HTC M8, M9 on same system so I am guessing no issues with drivers there.
4. Fastboot oem lock returns error (... INFO[ERR] Command error !!!)
5. Fastboot oem get_identifier_token error (... INFO[ERR] Command error !!!)
6. Unable to boot into bootloader (fastboot oem rebootRUU) will reboot the phone and vibrate multiple times and then stays on black screen for hours.
7. Tried AAHK but no luck.
8. Tried flashing zip PD98IMG.zip with fastboot flash zip command but no luck.
9. Tried visiting htcdev for the unlock code but cannot see anything for this model.
All I need to do is get this phone up and running for this poor gentleman sole who gave me this phone with lot of hope... Doesnt matter which ROM or recovery..
I would really appreciate any help experts can provide.
