[Q] Flashed a S-ON Phone

EDIT: If anyone gets an error trying to use the Newkidd's One .ZIP Stock RUU file and then Flashes a ROM leaving you in a boot loop and you feel stuck, just download the modified Android Drivers from Unrevoked. This helps out a lot if your device can't be seen, then just use the PC version of the RUU and let it run well, and then you'll be good to go. Thanks A LOT to strapped365. He spent more the 8 hours with me on GTalk all together, and helped me revert EVERYTHING back and fixed everything. This was all his find, I just tested it out for him.

Clear data and dalvik or do a factory reset
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App

97 Views and 1 Reply? Come on guys, this is pathetic. Alright. I tried the Factory Reset, I've wiped everything. The problem is that in Bootloader Mode, it shows S-ON, but I still have CWM3.2.0.1 Recovery and when try to Flash a ROM, it takes me to the Sprint Bootup Screen, get's to where it says "Sprint" or where it's building up the 4G design, and then it stops. I tried to Flash the Sprint OTA that I got from my sisters Shift onto my brothers phone, but it still won't boot. Is there anything I can do? I need help please?

If it was rooted before, what I would do is start over. Did you run the RUU from the PC, or the SD Card? I'm by no means an expert. But when I've had to RUU a phone, it always worked better connected to the PC IMO. But if for whatever reason you can't, place it in the root of the SD Card. Do it from there. I'd RUU back to Froyo. Then just act like the phone was never rooted before. After that just follow the guide for rooting. Also, like I said before I would RUU from the PC via HTC Sync. Just connect your phone to the PC by USB cable, and run the RUU exe. from the PC.
Here is a thread with the RUU http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=909554

Just kidding I never RUU'd. I'm going to use PG06IMG.zip and then I'll RUU... k?

Just download the RUU. Place on your desktop. Connect the phone with HTC Sync, and run the RUU exe. It will take the phone back to factory stock ( unrooted froyo ) . Then just reroot.

I don't have HTC Sync. And he doesn't wanna Root anyway. </3.

K. I'm just gonna RUU it lol.

WTF is wrong with people?

Dude you're soo cool!

Did that work for you? Is it all good now?

Honestly, I don't have internet so I'm Tethering off my Epic to download it and I have a long while to go. Is there anyway I can use the PC06IMG.zip and just download an application to my PC to Flash it? It's not about the size, it's about the time. Because as long as I Tethering, I can't text or call or anything and that's a huge hassle.

The way I described is going to be the best way IMO. But it does take some time. Your going to need HTC Sync installed on your PC. Just go to a Fast Food place buy a soda, sit down and use their WiFi. Till you get what you need done .

thank u ... It worked

I am having issues with this revolutionary method as well. i download the zip, extract it, download the fastboot, get the key code, run the extracted program, and the window says waiting for device. so i ran it again with mounting my sensation before running and same thing. It hasnt yet given me a chance to enter the key code. im only assuming i have to enter it cause it is not taking the code it pops up with when you enter your information. I Just bought a PC so I can to root my phones better without waiting for a MAC version of every thing. If anyone knows the step I am missing, please let me know. I would love to experiment with COREdroid but i have to get S-OFF first.

This was the missing step for me i could only get it to work once i uninstalled HTC Sync..

The Quickest way in solving this issue is just to install the HTC Drivers. With that, follow the Guide on the Dev section and it should be okay.

For future reference of Linux users who may find this thread, don't forget to run revolutionary, fastboot, or adb as a root user.
That'll usually solve all that plagues you with problems like "waiting for device" and such.

[Q] Why isnt this .zip showing up!?!?! >.<

ALright guys, Ive looked everywhere for an answer for this and after hours of working on installing vritious inqusition, I cant get the roms .zip to show up on my sd card to install it in the recovery. Ive did everything up to this point (root, update firmware, ect) now for some reason I just cant get that .zip file to show up. Can anyone please tell me what im doing wrong or maybe a soulition!? I like hitting that thanks button!!

Did you download it directly to your phone or pc? How are you looking for it? If you downloaded directly to your phone, browse your downloads using a file explorer, I use Root Explorer, once you locate the .zip copy and paste it to your ad card.

Might be an sd card error, something to do with the larger file, the rom won't show up in recovery? Are you selecting install rom from sd in recovery? Are you in recovery?

.zip
make sure you are copying the .zip straight to your phone, unpacked. It should show up in clockwork mod.

Now as its booting up, it keeps switching from the V to white HTC screen, is this normal or is it in a bootloop!? Cause I read somewhere initial boot time will be 6-10 mins but its looking scary : /

The md5 checksum basically is a string of numbers and letters, it's like a fingerprint, if the download gets corrupt then the number won't match. Look in the OP where you downloaded the ROM it should have the md5 listed. There's an app in the market you can use to check if it's correct.

After you did firmware upgrade you need to flash ICS ROM, 1.27 h boot will bootloop with GB ROMS. Download an ICS ROM to your pc, check MD5, then power off phone and remove battery and sd card, insert your sd card in card reader on your pc, now delete the PM58IMG file from your sd card and place the ROM on your sd card, also download superwipe script from Mike's thread and place that on your card as well. Next safely remove sd card from pc and put it back in your phone, replace battery, boot into recovery, flash superwipe, then flash the ROM, reboot phone and you should be good.

It sounds like you've either got the incorrect firmware, or ROM, or it could be just incorrect check sums.
To save on re-writing everything that's been done thousands of times before, I'm going to provide this link to Android Revolution HD.
It describes how to do everything step by step. If you want to start from a clean base, just boot in to recovery, and wipe everything, switch it to USB mode, load your files on, and start flashing from scratch.
Remember, to make a nandroid every time you flash something new if you're unsure about anything. It's time consuming, but saves you a lot of time in the long run. I found out the hard way.
If you have any more problems, feel free to PM me, and I'll reply usually pretty quickly.

Agreed. SuperCID and s-off means you can run any ruu. If it doesn't run, something is stopping it:
Try the stock European ruu. Remove other software from PC that might sync with phone (HTC sync, double twist etc.) Check AV/firewall is not blocking ruu. Run ruu as administrator on your machine.
