Ok give me the output of this commands:
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main
fastboot getvar cidnum

You're trying to flash both the recovery and the boot.img from HBOOT screen and not from FASTBOOT. RTFM.

You're not getting the phone to correct screen when flashing. You want help? RTFM = Read The Fricken Manual, in case you didn't know. Get any YouTube video that shows flashing through fastboot, and see that YOU'RE DOING IT WHILE YOUR PHONE IS ON HBOOT SCREEN INSTEAD OF FASTBOOT. I hope that the caps will make you pay attention this time around. The error you're getting ("... malformed") makes it 100% certain.

[Q] Desire S problems after flashing RUU

Hi Guys.
Before i start i want to mention that i searched everywhere and basically all these technical guide's and terms makes me even more confused and i don't really know what to do with this problem i have.
Ok here we go, last night i S-Off and Rooted my cousin's HTC Desire S with (revolutionary-0.4pre4 and Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed).
-Revolutionary-
SAGA PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-6.98.1002

So far so good, this all worked fine. No problems.
After that i installed the "RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.5_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_219480_signed"
It was successfully flashed but here is where the problems started, after this i got the famous "stuck on white background with green HTC Logo"
Now to make things worse, i cannot access SD Card from the phone and it will not recognize my phone anymore from my PC (with ADB drivers installed).
The only thing that does work and recognize my phone is the "Fastboot USB" mode on my phone along with the "
ROM Upgrade Utility (RUU) - Aruwizard.exe"
I got a tons of errors and problems.
1. HBOOT gives
SD Checking...
Loading... [PG88DIAG.zip]
No image!
Loading... [PG88DIAG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Loading... [PG88IMG.zip]
2. in Recovery menu the following problems occur
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
Wipe data/factory reset gives
E:Can't open /data/cwpkg.zip
E:Can't open /data/cw.prop
E:Can't open /cache/cwpkg.zip
E:Can't open /cache/cw.prop
Apply update from sdcard gives
-Invalid Operation-
Also i seem to have lost a few options in recovery after the RUU like "install zip from sd card" etc
My question is : Is there anything that can fix this or did the RUU bricked it completely?
I believe before flashing you were supposed to do a downgrade HBOOT using ENG HBOOT
Atleast thats what i did!
Revolutionary hboot has protection to prevent it from being overwritten, the way to change the hboot is to write it through recovery, but you also need to flash a recovery option (if none is available), through fastboot.
Basically, check if CWM or EXT4 are installed, if yes flash hboot through recovery (see the last 10 pages of the ENG HBOOT thread), if no, flash recovery through fastboot (see google), once recovery is installed, flash hboot, then proceed with RUU.
I tried this as well

But no luck either

Problem now is, when i select "Recovery" from the hboot menu.. it gets stuck also at the White background / green HTC Logo screen. so now my recovery part is broken also?
Its all working now, i used the wrong recovery image at first.
I got clockwork recovery to work and from there i could do the HBOOT ENG and a pre-rooted RUU

i have exactly the same problem but i do not understand what you did to fix it...
do i need a program for my pc? what recovery did you use? just a simple explanation of what you did because im worried i cant get my phone to work again and im not necessarily a tecnitian... please
I can't remember anymore tbh its been a long time since i did this.
But it had something to do with the right recovery file for your phone i think.
at the clockworkmod rom manager website you can download it.

What you need is, first:
- change the revolutionary hboot for an engineering hboot to allow RUU to overwrite it.
--> https://www.box.com/s/8a14444cd1dc4c91f077
This file contains both original and overalpharevx .img (6.98.2000) you should use this one first. You could use fastboot, android flasher or the PG88IMG.zip (the easy way) included to do that.
when it's done you can safely run the RUU and go back to stock (s-on)
or
you can flash 4ext or clockworkmod using fastboot and enjoy your custom rom.

[Q] something went terribly wrong

I can`t flash any recovery normally, I fear I messed up the cache\recovery seriously .
First I tried to flash ICS OTA – didn’t work, I was revolutionary S-off, after a few times I gave up (rebooting successful by reason: oem).
I re-flashed the RUU, and it went back to Pyrmid S-on. I`ve unlocked the bootloader HTC way.
Then tried to flash CWM, but I got some sort of error. Then I`ve installed "Android Recovery Manager". Tried to flash CWM through it, but ergh – it hangs on "waiting for device"
I tried to fastboot devices & fastboot getvar cid and got corret results, but when i`ve tried to change to superCid – I got this message:
C:\adb>fastboot oem writecid 11111111

so, I realized something went terribly wrong somewhere.
I`m looking for a "fresh start" – is there any complete clone of the recovery file system? Or any other way to flash a complete recovery file system (odin ?!)
Please help.

Don't apply s on, you need to run the correct ruu.for your cid.
Flashing RUU does not make you s on. If you're s on you had to make it that way.
Bad news is you can't run RUU with s on.

I tried flash all recovery from CWM and from Paul too, but nothing heppend, recovery don't work. It write:

**Sorry for my english**
error 155 can mean several things.
Try to run the RUU from fastboot, That usually clears up the 155 error
If not, let us know and we will find some other solution.
If you think, launched the phone in fastboot and on PC run RUU so it's the same, error 155.
ICS doesn't work so device stay in HBOOT and fastboot.
Have you relocked the bootloader before running the RUU ??
RUU's wont work unless bootloader is locked, To lock it open a command window, navigate to the location of all your adb / fastboot files and type:
fastboot oem lock
Then run the RUU again
I do it but fastboot in PC wrote:

Did you try the hardware key way? Same as bootloader, but power and vol +
Practically gave myself a heart attack yesterday. Someone here was having trouble getting into bootloader, and mentioned power and vol +. I couldn't remember what that did (knew it wasn't bootloader) so I did it, and put the phone in Qualcomm download mode!
I was able to get back to bootloader, recovery, and reflashed the ROM that happened to be on my phone.
No. What I meant was your cid isn't supercid anymore. And I wouldn't use that RUU since your hboot is 1.14; wait till someone more experienced helps you out

I've actually never used JET, and not quite sure how it works.
But power and vol + will put the phone in QHSUSB_DLOAD in most situations (nothing to do with JET), if that is all you are trying to do. Similar to how power and vol - boots into bootloader. Just curious if it would still worked in your "bricked" condition.
Are you able to get into fastboot? If so just use stock RUU to get back to stock,
thats the thing, i can get in to fastboot, try to run the 2.20 RUU starts and maybe 1 minute later it fails, and gives a ERROR [131] i google it and it seems to be because the cid its not the correct one anyone knows if there its a way to bypass the cid verification?

[Q] my phone is stuck at HTC logo

Hi all,
Please help. Currently my phone is stuck at HTC logo. Last week, I've upgraded my phone to 4.2.2 and Sense 5 via OTA. I have never root and S-OFF. Sense 5 was not ok for me. The font is hard to read and keyboard is hard to type. I love original Sense 4+ that came with my phone. So I tried to downgrade it. Without knowing what is S-OFF and HBOOT (now I knew), it stuck at HTC logo and won't go anywhere. I tried to flash stock ROM also custom ROM back but no hope.
this is the step I've done.

there is nothing wrong with the phone u have to know how to flash a rom. first of all unlock the bootloader and flash a custom recovery then look for the stock sense 4 rom and flash it. even doe u have downgraded u will have to cut off your ota updates because it will keep prompting u to download it. dont ever flash ruu on your phone if you dont know wat ur doing

Hi daorderdillon,
Thanks for your answer. I've done as you told.
- unlock the bootloader (fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin)
- flash a custom recovery (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img - I used TWRP 2.6.3.0 as recovery.img)
- look for the stock sense 4 rom (I used the first ROM from this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2157029)
- flash via adb (fastboot oem rebootRUU --> fastboot flash zip PL99IMG.zip)
It still stuck at HTC logo.
Second tried, I copied PL99IMG.zip to SD card then boot into HBOOT mode and let it install. Nothing change, still stuck.
Third tried, I installed ROM via TWRP menu and again, same error.
Could you please guide me which step I missed?
Thanks in advance.
Dear All !!!
My phone is back! Very very happy!
To share with the one who have the same problem, this is what I did.
- flash CWM recovery
- following this thread --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2185799
- flash boot.img
- enter recovery mode
- install kernel_wwe.zip
.- restart your phone
- factory reset
- that's all
I would like to say thank you to all of you that try to help me.
