[Q] hboot 1.23 and says s-off but locked

So i was in the middle of following the steps in the s-off and perma root thread and i ran into a problem. Hope someone here is nice enough to help me out.
So i ran revolutionary and everything went smooth. I already had the clockwork mod zip in the root of my sd card so i just rebooted the phone into hboot. When i went into hboot it detected the pg58img file and ran it, it prompted me if i wanted to update and so i did. It rebooted the phone and then i went back into hboot. The hboot said it was 1.23 and said Locked instead of Revolutionary as it displayed previously.
When i try to run the pg58 file in hboot an error occurs and said it is not compatible and only asks me to power off. So now at this moment it displays 1.23 version of hboot and s-off and says locked.
What can i do after this point? Any help i can get would be fantastic, thanks.

You're still good.
You're locked out of some of the most advanced fastboot commands. But that's it.
You still have S-Off. ADB will still work. You can flash ROM's. Etc etc etc....
It's a known problem. But it's not really a problem.
It's not like you divided by zero and destroyed the fabric of the universe or anything.

This is a noob question but how would i install clockwork recovery? I thought i would try dl from market but it said i didnt have root permission(obviously)
Is there a thread that has a solution to my issue or maybe you can quickly guide me out of this? lol Just kind of confused as to what i should do next lol.

Look in the development section for a thread called guide to s-off.
Skip the s-off part since you've done that.
Go right to the part about installing recovery. Following the directions. It's incredibly easy. It'll take about 3 minutes.
Once you have clcokwork recovery you can flash custom ROMs. You don't actually have to root the stock ROM. (Though you should make a backup of it just for kicks. You can do it all through clockwork recovery)

Yea I tried it multiple times already. I have the pg58 file in the root of the sd and when i go to the hboot it says
"Model ID incorrect!
Update Fail!
Press <POWER> to reboot."
Thats the only option it gives me so i am not able to install clockwork recovery.

Do you have SuperCID?

no i do not, would that fix the issue? i thought that is just for installing any rom on the device. My issue is that i cant get recovery to work.
I would think that is the next step after i run the perma root zip.

It should. Follow the SuperCID instructions here. Then update your firmware via the bootloader with this package that rmk made. It includes ClockworkMod Recovery.

Cool, thanks. I will definately try this as soon as I get off work later today and post up a status regarding the issue

He doesn't have use of Fastboot commands. I am pretty sure they are needed for super CID. Let me check.
He can't super CID as Fastboot commands are used.
Have you tried to run the correct RUU.exe? I think that would change back your h boot. There are zips in the development section you can use to downgrade but you may need super CID to use them.

Yes, he does. CID commands will work with 1.23.xxxx. I've done it myself. Advanced fastboot commands won't work (he can't flash a radio through fastboot).

Yeah, I had SuperCID to flash the new firmware to use an ICS ROM, then changed it back to the T-Mobile one after. No worries, it's confusing.

I have the same problem. The Super CID does not work for me because when I type adb devices two blank lines show up, can't get the device number. I followed the instructions to the letter and usb debugging is on.

Okay, I am not near a pc atm so I cannot look where they are located, if you have the adb tools you also need another program called Net Framework installed on your pc.
Make sure your phone is powered onvand usb debugging checked when plugged into pc. I find it easiest to hold the mouse over the adb tools folder, press alt & ctrl keys and right click on the mouse and choose open command window here. Now type the command "adb devices".
Good luck.

First boot can take 10 minutes to load as the Davilk cache is being recreated. Also, did you perform a full wipe first and check the Md5 checksums, make sure your downloaded ROM is not corrupt.

[SOLVED!!] Customer ID Error on RUU

So my ATT One X is soft bricked and when I run RUU_Evita_UL_Cingular_US-1.82.502 It gives me the customer ID error.
I rooted, unlocked bootloader, and flashed CMR, but it is now no longer rooted and the bootloader is relocked.
I did modify the CID to "11111111" to unlock the bootloader, but without me being rooted I am unable to put the original "mmcblk0p4" back on (idk if that even matters.) I have no backups and absolutely everything is erased.
I did flash the stock recovery img file, but I don't know if it was relevant to international One X or if there is one specifically for ATT One X.
I guess a fix would be making a goldcard, without an sd card somehow....
Thanks for the Help.

Never seen that error before. Have you tried running the 1.85 RUU? I have RUU'd multiple times while still having the SuperCID so I don't think that's the issue.

Have you tried to relocking the boot loader?

Then run ruu.
The ruu will flash the stock recovery.

Thanks.

Are in Canada? That would mean u need to use the rogers ruu, not the evita. Or, are u positive u changed your cid to 11111111 and not ROGER001. There were tutorials in the beginning doing this before supercid 11111111 was found. But customer I'd means either, rogers or evita typically. Evita ruu won't work on rogers and vice versa:thumbup:

No. I'm in US on ATT network. And yes I did change the CID to 11111111 because I used that method to unlock my bootloader.
I've tried several RUUs for my phone and still get same error. If I were to verify I had changed the CID I would have to be rooted.
Is it possible to root a soft-bricked device????

What's the error number?
Depending on what it is, there are different fixes.
if you can still do fastboot commands I'd unlock the bootloader again then push the twrp with USB support.
Once you do that you can flash the rom of your choice by copying it to your phone from TWRP.

[Q] Relocked bootloader, won't boot into Rom

This is going to sound like an odd problem but all I can get to is the bootloader and fastboot. Haha. I feel like that's different from most threads here.
I'm selling my One X (AT&T) soon and wanted to get rid of my custom rom (CM10) and put it back to stock. I a stock rooted 2.20 rom (flashed boot.img then the zip) and thought everything would be fine. I locked the bootloader through fastboot (fastboot oem lock) and rebooted. Here's my problem: the phone won't ever actually boot into the rom installed after relocking the bootloader.
As far as I have read, I can't run the RUU if I can't boot into the rom. Every time I try to reboot or shut down then power on again, I just end up back at the bootloader. I can access fastboot but I don't think any of the commands can help me.
Btw, I can't get to recovery either, if that's any help. It just goes back to the bootloader again.
Any help would be great. Thank you and have a nice day!

You actually need to be in the bootloader to run the ruu, that is normal behaviour.

That is what is supposed to happen. Once you relock, you have to run the RUU.

Thanks for the input! I've tried running the RUU on my Windows PC while the phone is both in fastboot and bootloader yet the RUU failed to connect to my One X. In some of the videos that I've found, once they relocked their bootloader, their phone would reboot into the rom. So is that not what's supposed to happen?
I've also seen some threads where people flash the RUU but it's for other devices. Is there a way I can do that? So while I'm in fastboot or something, I can just use the command line.
Thanks again!

I was able to just run the ruu on my pc while connected via fastboot usb. I'm not sure that the ruu is intended to be run from any command line, so you'll probably want to double check that your phone is connecting to your pc properly before you run the ruu. That's the only thing I can think of at this point.

When I run the RUU, I run in to this error:
"Error[170]: USB Connection Error. The Rom Update Utility cannot connect to your Android device." I'm not sure why I'm getting that.
I was on 2.20 before I rooted my phone, not sure if that changes anything.
I'm not sure if this is what you're talking about but when I go to the command line and type "fastboot devices" it acknowledges my phone so I feel like it is connected. Right?
Thanks!

IT'S ALIVE
I just wanted to say that I got it to work. In case anybody has the same problem as me, all you need to do is install the latest HTC Sync on your computer. Plug in your phone and go into fasboot mode. From there, just run the RUU on your phone and everything should work.
Thanks for everybody's help!

That's correct. Your PC has to have the latest HTC drivers installed in order to communicate with your phone.

Do you have to flash the boot.img separately like when flashing a rom? Or does the RUU take care of the whole thing?

The RUU basically puts your phone back to exactly how it was when you bought it

[Q] Phone stuck in a boot loop, plus other problems

My phone, HTC Sensation XE, is S-ON, on default ROM, and has HBOOT 1.29.000. Needless to say, my phone is not rooted.
The phone is on a boot loop ever since I last took off the battery and placed it back. I sometimes get a message that my Android system is getting upgraded, terminating with an error "System UI has stopped working" before the phone restarts itself again.
I don't know if this is a hardware issue or software.
How do I get my phone to a normal state? I don't mind rooting the phone if I need to for the purpose of installing default/custom ROM. But I don't know if this would be possible because I only have access to boot screen at present.
Please suggest me suitable solutions. Thank you

I looked into the thread you suggested. For my region and CID, I was not able to get the RUU from the thread. What I could get was this - an OTA zip file that matches my software version exactly (3.33.720.106) from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1764025
How do I proceed further with this zip file, since I don't have an executable RUU file?
I am hoping you can be of help -)
(The zip file contains -- META-INF, patch, system, firmware.zip, fotaBoot, version.txt)

@ganeshp's one click root doesn't require htc dev unlock (meaning no prequisite permanent root; the guide has steps for temproot).
You just need one boot.
Do this: get the boot.img of your current (stock rom) and type fastboot boot boot.img.

I know its a long shot, but you should try doing a factory-reset from the bootloader, just in case it works.
Otherwise run an RUU from the bootloader.

firstly Itsakash he can't S-OFF because the device must be booted to the OS
secondly Far_SighT the command is fastboot flash boot boot.img
thirdly as raz0rf1sh suggested factory reset is a good idea and
fourthly jiteshgawali can you post your bootloader details?

It really is great to see your input guys.
@Far_SighT: I have tried doing the temp_root method, but it doesn't work for me. I could successfully run temp_root.bat just once (luckily, even in boot loop), but next when I tried doing the Juopunutbear SOFF it missed detecting my phone (again, because of the bootloop)

For stock rom go http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923629.
Get the rom and extract boot.img.
Then use the earlier command I posted.

Yes I haven't seen Indian version ruu until now ..so ruu is out of question AFAIK
Now the factory reset over boot loader should help if you have software problems but as per your replies it didn't work it seems
Tried HTC Dev unlock ? Even if the motherboard is replaced its worth a try
If htcdev unlock failed
Then try to go to recovery first ..from boot loader and if you went to recovery properly let me know
The other solution I propose is try to do change the cid ..even on locked bootloader sometimes it works
Try these commands one by one
fastboot oem writecid HTC__001
Then
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then check cid using this command
fastboot getvar cid
If cid changed that's a good sign

I said fastboot boot boot.im instead of fastboot flash boot booti.img as the previous one boots the rom with with the new image but doesn't attempt to write that to the boot partition. Hence it might get him a much needed boot to s-off.

as you stated your current is 3.33.720.106 so the OTA update is unnecessary

both S-OFF guides say that stock rom is required in order to follow the S-OFF procedure

Yes I haven't seen Indian version ruu until now ..so ruu is out of question AFAIK
Now the factory reset over boot loader should help if you have software problems but as per your replies it didn't work it seems
Tried HTC Dev unlock ? Even if the motherboard is replaced its worth a try
If htcdev unlock failed
Then try to go to recovery first ..from boot loader and if you went to recovery properly let me know
The other solution I propose is try to do change the cid ..even on locked bootloader sometimes it works
Try these commands one by one
fastboot oem writecid HTC__001
Then
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then check cid using this command
fastboot getvar cid
If cid changed that's a good sign

Thanks for responding Ganesh. HTC Dev Unlock never worked for me post change of motherboard, but thanks for the suggestion.
I am able to browse the recovery option from bootloader properly.
And it gives me a little satisfaction to let you know that I was able to change the CID to HTC__001 following your steps. Can you suggest what I should be doing next?

[Q] Encryption Unsuccessful-Bootloader Locked

Is it possible to unlock the bootloader when the phone is stuck in Encryption Unsuccessful screen?(basically the phone will only go into stock recovery) I tried through HTCDEV and that didn't work. It seems like the problem is, the bootloader is locked, I can't get into the phone to enable USB or developer options and only have stock recovery. Every option I read requires enabling USB and developer options first. Any Ideas???
The phone was baught this way. I'm just trying to get it back to stock. I figure I need to unlock the bootloader, put a custom recovery on and then flash the stock file.

You won't be able to unlock the boot loader. Vzw blocks HTC dev.
Put phone in fastboot mode. Run the following commands from your PC.
Fastboot oem task 28
Fastboot oem task 29
Then run the ruu located here. Match the one to what your boot loader screen says for os

No. You can use the exe or fastboot.

Just getting ready to start, but I have a couple more questions before I start... sorry I 'm a rookie here and never done this before. you can save me some time and effort
1 - Do I need to install adb/fastboot on my pc first or can I just have the phone in fastboot mode and run the commands through the stock cmd.exe?
2 - The OS# is 4.17.605.5 so do I just download 5.0.1 RUU EXE and run that or do I need to download and run hboot first?
Sorry for extra questions here - Thanks!

You cannot HTC dev unlock this phone. Vzw phones are blocked. So if task 28 doesn't fix it you are sol.
