hello guys! i am completely clueless now... ive been wandering around this forum for more than 4 hours. and i just can't find any help.
my situation is as following:
i tried to unroot my desire s to get the warranty back with this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1460713
at some point i accidently flashed hboot 2.00.0002. than i was stuck with the ruu update's error: 140..
i have a goldcard but it just wouldn't let me downgrade to this ruu: RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.47.401.4_Radio_20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199410_signed i am pretty sure that this is the right one...
i got my desire s at an o2 shop here in germany and it comes unbranded.
i tried so many guides, but i can't get out of this misery.
although i was able to get to the recovery (4ext touch), unlocked via htcdev, but unrooted and S-ON.
now my phone boots and gets stock at the ics fallout "htc one" bootscreen.
is there a way to get my desire s to be stock again?
Wierd you can access recovery!!!
Well All I can say is that never try to downgrade from any ics rom to stock ginger bread rom without downgradin your misc version mate.And unfortunately, i think you have to wait for official stock ICS rom.

yea, very wierd, isn't it?
i tried to fake a misc-version downgrade via adb cmd and i was able to do it once, but it was still higher than the ruu version.

Actually I myself encountered this problem using exactly the same guide but somehow i was able to find the higher RUU which did the trick for me. Try to find some higher RUU.
Otherwise go for jtag or xtc clip if u can't wait..
BTW update is just around the corner if you dont want to apply hardware methods

that's great news! hope is rising
hardware fixes are no option for me, yet. the hole point is to get my phone replaced, so i don't want to eff around too much.
you probably don't know the ruu file anymore, do you?
thanks again.

I very much doubted that it will help even!!!!
Try to look out for OS 2.3.5 with sense 3.0 for your region...
somehow i managed to install a ruu with a miscversion downgrade.
i did the same thing "nenad_l" did here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604255

Dats nice to hear it
Having unlocked the bootloader and having a functional custom recovery, all you had to do was to run misc_version script from recovery, reboot to bootloader, lock it and proceed with RUU flash. Nothing more.
Got your same problem. I was stuck at the bootloader because I had my desire s unlocked with HTCdev.com. Relocked it and flashed with a previous RUU like 1.47... it worked and then flashed hboot and radio...
u shd hv just unroot n den lock ur bootloader with the token provided when u did htc dev unlock
run d misc ver. changer n zergrush
and den run RUU ...

Hi folks,
I've got a T-Mobile branded Sensation, no idea how long they will take to get the 2.3.4 update out, probably months.
I want to S-OFF, Super CID etc and flash something else or just use a Euro RUU.
Problem is, for warranty purposes, I need to back up my current rom or obtain the T-Mobile RUU.
Is there anyway I can dump this rom first?
I've checked the big list of roms for the Sensation, lots of US ones there but nothing for T-Mobile Uk.
Thanks
Backup stock ROM:
1. S-OFF
2. Install CWM
3. Backup with CWM
Job Done!
Restore stock ROM:
1. Restore backup
2. Flash stock recovery
3. Flash stock HBOOT
4. Run S-ON command via adb
Obviously the ROM you restore will have all your personal data so a hard reset after making sure it boots up would be wise to go back to a 100% 'out the box' state

If this is the real deal, legit one, then we're onto a winner.
I got a "communications were interrupted" error when using Revolutionary.
Rebooted with vol down, it's showing me as SHIP S-OFF
Ok to assume that it's all ok anyway?
I had this too, run it 3 times and eventually it will say it's done. I did report this on their feedback on the website as well
When I boot up with vol down, it is showing Revolutionary at the top and S-OFF.
Copied the PG58IMG 4.0.1.4 updated over, went into HBoot and it flashed.
Reboot, deleted the PG58IMG off the SD card.
Reboot, back into the bootloader screen and it's allowed me to run clockwork, so now done a full back up which has just finished.
All I want to do next is install the stock European 2.3.4 rom (RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.45.401.2), so I assume the next step is to change CID?
Thing is, I want to be able to use future OTA updates with this rom. Am I right in saying that whatever ID I set it to is what updates I will get?
Cheers
Yeah, change CID to HTC__001 and then you're completely unbranded. OTA's should also go through without issue too
Awesome. Job done. CiD change, installed the european rom and i'm now 2.3.4
Bootloader is showing ***locked*** but I aint worried about that.
That's the new HBOOT, you can still use Revolutionary to S-OFF it again if need be (I personally re-flashed the 1.17.0011 HBOOT back as I didn't like the LOCKED message)

I don't understand why it still says S-OFF at the top. lol
Because it does, but it's not technically S-OFF - I tried to flash a different HBOOT and it didn't work until I re-ran Revo

Boot
Revolutionary
Saga PVT Ship S-OFF RL
Hboot 6.98.1002
16GB sdcard 13.68GB +1GB (ext4)
Rooted phone.
Everything works fine except navigation.
Gps status found 6 sattelites.
Immediately after I started Igo and he told me `looking for sattelites...`,
and looking, and looking...
The same is using Motonav ?
Gps.info says europe.pool.ntp.otg.
I changed to rs.pool.ntp.org , restart phone, but situation is the same.
What is wrong ?
So i have a few questions:
1. Do I need to reflash radio for solving my gps problem. If yes, what radio is perfect for my rom. What is the procedure for that ?
2. What is the procedure for revert back to original hboot ( was 98.0002 ), and reflash whole phone with stock rom ( yes, i am prepared to loose s-off and root).
I dont want to use custom rom.
Sorry for too long post.
Hope, you undestand me.
Regards, from Serbia.
If someone here from Serbia and willing to answer on my questions ,
I expected PM in my inbox.
So you are running a stock rom anyway?
Have you tried any other gps apps, apart from satnav? GPS status can get a fix, so doesn't seem to be hardware related, more likely to be the satnav.
To flash a new radio, download from the thread in the development section - there is a list in the first post.
Name the radio PG88IMG & put in your sd card. Then reboot into bootloader (hold volume down as it reboots) & you will be asked if you want to apply the update. Press volume up & wait!
Reboot when prompted.
A new radio may solve your problems, its worth a go.

Don't think you need a new HBOOT or Radio. I've had this GPS problem on many Sense ROMS.
Sounds like you have used Fasterfix to change the GPS server address. This only worked for me on a couple of occasions.
What has worked for me every time, is this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239713&highlight=%5BTrick%5D
I now keep a saved .txt file with my particular servers for the UK saved on my SD card, and copy it over using Root Explorer with each new ROM I try that has GPS issues.
I reflash phone usin stock rom (233MB). After reboot i had nothing on my phone.
I installed everything again, formated sd card.
Tommorow i will use gps stats to find any sattelite. Now it is too windy for that.
I tought hwboot will be 98.0002, but stiil remain on Revolutionary 6.95.xxxx ?
I loose superuser. When i boot into recovery i have red triangle.
What will gonna do if my problem with gps persist?

When you say you reflashed with a stock ROM, what that an RUU? That would remove s-off and root. I have heard that the Revolutionary HBOOT sticks around after an RUU but I don't think it is a problem. I used XTP Clip so unfortunately I can't be much help there.
You will need to re-run your procedure for S-off and root if you want to boot into a custom recovery.
Stock 1.47.401.4 .
I only want to get back on stock 98.0002 to accept OTA update.

Ok, understood. But..
Revolutionary is working for 98.0000(2).
Does it work on 6.98.1002 ?
I have already tried rooting using su.2.6.3.8.zip from sdcard, but no recovery ?
i rooted my device not too long ago with revolutionary.. Everything was successful..
When i got the phone i had the hboot 1.1800
well i went to try a rom.. ICS..
Told me i had to get the latest firmware, well i places the file on my sd card and went into hboot..
it was doing the update but said incorrect CID and now when i reboot, i get the boot loop on the htc screen..
i have a sd card reader, so i can put it in my computer.. so i tried to put back the original img.zip back because i did the win recovery..
so when my device reads that, it says incorrect model..
Help please!
oh my hboot says 1.27 now... how do i get back to my original 1.18?? i have to unroot it now but dunno how
Enter bootloader.
Perform superCID.
Reflash firmware, should be good to go with ics.

Take your time man, this will take longer than 15 minutes. You always have to read the information more than once so that you don't mess up your phone like you did.

DId you use SuperCID? you should just try different ruu until one of them works. Did you try to get into recovery aka holding down the vol button when you power on?

Well if you didnt that means you can only use an ruu for the image you currently have or any ruu after after that. im not to familiar with rogers ruu version numbers but like i said equal or great. I would go into recovery and and go into fastboot and try the ruu then. that should do the trick and you still need to be relocked but you said you did that already so good luck!

Yeah I was just looking around and I noticed there but only one ruu. this is a link to the ruu ROGER RUU. its an exe so basically hold the vol down button while you turn the power on. you should have a screen that says "fastboot", recovery and so on. select fastboot and connect to your computer. when it finishes installing the drivers and the phone says fastboot usb in red then run the ruu.
actually its not an exe. sorry i need to look it up myself

yeah, that is not an exe file. it's a zip file that should replace the rom.zip when u do the ruu (according to the posts online).
that's what i did. the thing is that when i did the ruu thing, my phone version is greater then the one u can find online. so it's not working this way. or maybe im not doing it right.
this phone is killing me right now.
thank u.
no one seems to have a good solution to this???
i just solved it.
it's quiet simple actually.
for ppl who may have the same problem as i did , this is what u need to do :
flash recovery, then go in to recovery mode, wipe everything, except the external storage, then install a new rom
simple...
yea , first of all , unlock ur device.
thx/.

hi all,
i HAD a sensation running Android Revolution HD 6.8.0. and without checking properly, i installed AOKP-42-20130118.zip and gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip. the phone won't boot or charge. i then realised this is not a sensation rom, it's a HTC ONE rom, i think!! . i've followed the HTC Unbricking Project and get "device not found...check connections" in ubuntu. phone shows up on windows as other device labeled QHSUSB_DLOAD. is my phone toast? sorry if all this sounds amateurish as im completely new to all this. thanks all.
thats some dangerous thing happened there ..if HTC UNBRICKING not doing any help ..then service center only

yes tried all of the above, several times. tried newest drivers, and 3.0.0.007, messed around with several usb cables, changed computers. device not found error every time. i think the phone is stuffed. will send it to mobiletechvideos in Texas. it's a 50 dollar repair. will be a bit more careful next time.

hi, my phone has been recovered and back working. service centre returned the phone with locked bootloader, s-off and hboot 1.29.
i'd like to get back to Android Revolution HD 6.8.0, can i just root and flash a recovery, or have i to unlock the bootloader again on htv dev? can i use the backups i made earlier on hboot 1.27?
thanks again.

you received the phone with LOCKED bootloader and SOFF ?
then before doing anything ..i would suggest you to ..check whether the phone is soff or not (I've seen 3 cases at-least where the phone showed soff (after the phone got back from service center) but its not actually soff and people bricked their phone again trying to flash stuff) ... to check soff status go to my soff guide (link in my signature)..try the controlbear soff NO HTC_DEV unlock one ..if the phone is properly soff then the controlbear says soff and exits ..otherwise your phone is not soff ..
also you cant do HTC-DEV unlock (motherboard got replaced so IMEI changed) as IMEI changed and the unlock procedure fails ..the only way is JB SOFF

hi again, thanks for the heads up. i've run controlbear and confirmed the phone is s-off. during the process it asked to install modified juopunutbear hboot, which i said no. should i have? also phone imei is same as before (no motherboard replacement) so whats my next move, i'm a little cautious as I've bricked phone already once!! thanks ganeshp.

yes install juopunutbear hboot via controlbear and if that didnt went successfully ..install patched revoultionary hboot (at the end of first post i think) from kohr-ah firmware thread present in sensation development section.
then you cna continue with custom recovery flashing and then custom rom (if you want you can backup your current stock rom too from the custom recovery before trying the new rom )
