Htc sense vodafone various issues

Ok im not sure where to start but anyway
i have the vodafone ireland htc sense and few months back i rooted the phone but didnt change the stock mod.
every so often updates came out and i didnt update cuz it wouldnt allow me it would give me that error with the android fella and i would have to do something to fix it i forget what.
anyway
so last night i wanted to install THIS ROM (black forest)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1423684
it said i needed to update the firmware and then thats when it went into a bootlooping
i fixed the eventual bootlooping but formatting just about everything but i backed everything up when i mounted
but now it doesnt load past the white HTC screen
in the recovery screen it says all this
*****LOCKED****
pyramid PVT SHIP s-off RL
HDBOOT-1.27.0000

also when i load it it automatically looks for an image which i dont have any more
pg58diag.zip
edit:
i read and did this
You need to re-flash the ICS firmware from here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618
If it's an ICS ROM, flash the second one. If it's a Gingerbread ROM, flash the first one. Put the PG58IMG.zip on your SD card along with your ROM. Hold VOL-DOWN while you boot, and I think it asks you if you'd like to update (you do). You then need to remove the PG58IMG.zip from your SD card.
Boot into recovery after that and flash your ROM. If it still boot loops, that means you didn't flash the PG58IMG file correctly.
it says
cid incorrect update failed

Hi,
You need to go HERE
Read the thread carefully,and it will guide you to which PG58IMG.zip you need for your phone.
Once you have flashed the appropriate firmware (PG58IMG.zip) it is important to delete the PG58IMG.zip from your sd card.
Then ,you can super wipe and flash your ROM.

right ill try this
but at the moment
when i get into recovery it loads the some file and it says wrong cid and it asks to reboot but it didnt
i dont have a card reader so im going to to a cafe of something
cheers for this

1. fastboot load into the bootloader and do:
fastboot getvar cid
fastboot getvar mid
If you don't have fastboot I have provided a download of it at the bottom of this post. Read the Read-Me file inside of it.
2. For those without fastboot you can use an app called CID Getter. CID is displayed at the top. MID is at the line ro.mid
This will not tell if you are SuperCID or not it just tells your original CID.
3. If you want to do it by terminal, open a terminal on the phone and do:
su
getprop ro.cid
getprop ro.mid

Hi,
Fastboot is done on the pc,once you plugged your phone in with a USB.
If you cannot do this,then use method 2 or 3 .

i cant do 2 or 3
the link for the cidgetter is down
i got fastboot on my machine its just not recognizing my phone at the moment
edit:as far as i understand it here

Hi,
You must have ADB installed on your PC in order to s-off
Use the same terminal on your PC to fastboot getvar cid

i do have adb installed but it looks like i dont have the right htc driver installed
when i type in fastboot getvar cid it says waiting for device

Hi,
In order to make sure that you have the correct drivers,install the latest version of HTC Sync.
If it does not work the first time,close it all,then try again.

ok
cool
cid is vodaP001
mid is pg5813000
ok so i got it that working
its stuck on the HTC screen .. i assume i gotta put the mod i want in now right?
edit: i now need to super swipe and then add the mod and remove the update

Hi,
Now You need to go HERE .Post # 2
Look for VODAPHONE Part 1:
DOWNLOAD 3.24 Unlocked: http://goo.gl/HWJJh
It has the PG58IMG.zip that contains:
cid is vodaP001
mid is pg5813000
Don't forget to thank Kohr-Ah for his efforts.
And flash that.Make sure it flashes fully(Including a reboot in the middle)
Then,delete the PG58IMG.zip,flash super wipe,then the new ROM.

ok ok
i got the dark forest os installed its just sim locked and in spanish
god damn

its in english just sim locked

is there a reason why my htc sensation wont see or read/see the nbh file in zip format on the sdcard while in hboot?

Hi,
It needs to be in the PG58IMG.zip format.

ok it reads it but i had to put it in a zip already used by something else in the phone and take out the stuff inside it
it gets as far as parses but then it stops

stonedparadox said:
its still not seeing the zip file
Click to expand...

Hi,
It must be exactly PG58IMG.zip
Make sure there is no (1) in there

ok
so i did as you say
it gets as far as parsing and then stops ( that happens as soon as i enter the hboot screen )
if i go to install a zip it says
installing /sdcard/PG58IMG.ZIP

opening update package

[Q] Sensation XE stucks on Beats/HTC Bootlogo

Hey,
i'm having a prett big problem here...
I already s-off'ed and rootet my Sensation XE.

yup checked it before, i put the zip normally to "sdcard/"
maybe the wrong firmware?
It's Sensation XE without branding(Eng/Ger), it was a test-device/example directly from HTC

Please check SuperCID worked. Reboot into bootloader and run fastboot getvar cid from your PC. The result should be 11111111.

You must have an working adb and fastboot setup.
If you do not know about adb and fastboot read them.
Go through the following thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1480061
Alternatively you can check your CID on the phone itself. But you must have an terminal app.
Open terminal app. and type the following command without the quote.
" getprop ro.cid "

same problem
same problem
please help

For ARHD 6.2.1 you need 3.24/3.25 firmware. Download from fw thread, check md5 and flash in bootloader, assuming your CID is supported or you have superCID as above.
For newer rom versions you would then need newer firmware.

It happend to me aswell when I wanted to flash an ICS rom over a GB rom. I learned that i had to flash the ICS 3.32 firmware before the rom. I did just that and now it working better then ever. Go to www.senseomaniac.mobi. The firmeware and ICS roms are there. So easy to install. There is sense 4 roms aswell.

My sensation is also S-ON. I think ultimate solution is to flash boot.img of the rom you are installing using fastboot but you should flash 4EXT recovery. and select ENABLE SMART-FLASH before you start installing any rom. This will automatically write boot.img file from ROM and you need not flash boot.img file while installing rom.

Thanks all...I´ve trying with all your solutions and nothing happens..I´ll write you again to explain (maybe with screen captures) what´s going on...

Your problem is clearly visible and the solution is pretty straight forward too
(which I've linked before)
Now I'll briefly explain the steps..
First flash the rom you want from Recovery (also keep a copy of rom zip file in pc)
Then go to bootloader and connect your device to pc
Open the rom zip file from pc.. Extract and Copy the boot.img (generally in kernel folder of the zip) to your adb/fastboot folder
Then open command prompt from the adb/fastboot folder ( if windows hold shift + right click - open command window here)
Then type this
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then reboot using
fastboot reboot
If it still not resolved let me know

Copy the rom zip file to your sdcard (do it via card reader) then insert sdcard card and boot to recovery.. There
Select install from sdcard.. And select the rom zip file.. That will install the rom
Edit: or follow the guide I've linked in my first post of this thread completely to the letter..
Then do the rest as explained earlier

Hello there,
I've had the same problem with my Sensation after Flashing the Elegancia ICS Sense4 ROM.
How i fixed it:
Go to Bootloader -->Recovery (I use ""recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.9-pyramid.img""
Then Wipe cache and system.
Flash your ROM, but dont change any settings there (if there is a option to wipe data, press "NO")
Thats how it worked with my device.
Otherwise install the firmware you need for your ROM.
Sry for my bad english, im from Germany !
Greetings

Flash your ROM, but dont change any settings there (if there is a option to wipe data, press "NO")

Thanks a lot ....so if you repair this perfect!...How can I "flash my ROM"?....wich rom did I have to use?...sorry but as you can see I´m lost

Follow through the steps and when it asks you to install a custom kernel it would be preferable to select YES, when Installing stock Kernel it is possible you will have Wifi problems. (see Step 3)
I PUT SEBASTIAN KERNEL
Reboot!
If during boot you are stuck on the white HTC screen, perform step Extra 1 and your problem should be resolved.
I GET STUCKED SO I DID
I DID EXTRA 1 EVERYTHING OK
=====================================
_Now it chage!....It starts with the white Screen with the logo...few seconds...then restart...again the white screen with logo and starts 4EXT...
So something´s better is´nt it?
But what´s the nextr step?
We´re really close!I can feel the force THNAKS!
EDIT: MAybe I have to choose another boot.img from some other kernel even when it was the one I choose in the ROM installation?

Help with HTC Desire S (bricked)

OK, need a bit of help with a Desire S that can only get to HBOOT screen (vol down + power) otherwise it's just a white HTC screen.
Phone is S-ON. HBOOT 0.98.002.
I've tried Revolutionary.io's guide to convert to S-OFF but I just get 'Waiting for Device'. Tried uninstalling HTC drivers then installing again without luck, disabling firewall and AV, still no luck. Kinda given up on that front.
Trying 'fastboot devices', device is recognised, but if I try to flash a recovery ROM from fastboot I get an 'out of memory' error.
I don't know if USB debugging is enabled or not (how can I tell & enable from HBOOT if not)?
I thought about going via HTCDEV and their method, but my HBOOT is at the wrong version (can I upgrade it to V 2.000.2?)
I'm really running out of options now....anything else I can try??? HELPPPP!

Run htc ruu exe file and don't close the windows, find rom.zip in windows temp folder, rename it to PG88IMG.zip ale copy to sdcard. Turn on your phone in hboot mode, rom will be flashed automaticaly.
Or just go to fastboot mode in hboot and then run RUU, should work if you have bootloader locker (relocked).

sorry, but I'm really not getting this. I'm looking for a RUU to flash a recovery ROM. When I went to HTC dev, there were all the ROMs for all the different carriers. I don't know what mine is. I tried downloading one for Vodafone, unzipped and searched for RUU.exe but there isn't one.
I need to get to this RUU.exe but dont know how.:crying:

what is a recovery ROM? anyway, people over here at the DS forum has already extracted the radio, Hboot and ROM of official ICS. search around...

I had a bit of progress. I downloaded the latest 4.0 RUU util from HTC Dev, ran it, extracted the ROM.zip and renamed it to PG88IMG.zip, copied it up to the SD card, rebooted the phone into FASTBOOT and the phone recognised it and started installing.
Wahey, I thought, that's it I've cracked it, but then it gets stuck on Updating the bootloader. Stuck for nearly an hour. Tried twice and different SD cards...same thing.
Is this because I'm still S-ON and bootloader is locked, or do you think my internal memory is fried?

You're right, that's the case. Search and you'll see similar cases.

Absolutely irrelevant. He's not flashing anything himself, he's executing RUU which can flash everything.

OK, so how do I enable USB debugging if I can only get into HBOOT? Is there a FASTboot or ADB command that can do it? I think that's what's stopping Revolutionary.

if you read again, he said he was flashing the rom zip after extracting the rom from the RUU

FYI - I tried executing the RUU itself, and that just hangs too.
I'm going down the line of toasted internal memory and am now throwing in the towel. Besides I just can't spend any more time on it.
Thanks for all your help.

And what means to flash a RUU? Do you see any RUU running on your phone?
Trying to help people is a good thing but not before trying the stuff yourself, knowing the differences, how it works and WHY it should be done

amdr said:
Run htc ruu exe file and don't close the windows, find rom.zip in windows temp folder, rename it to PG88IMG.zip ale copy to sdcard. Turn on your phone in hboot mode, rom will be flashed automaticaly.
Or just go to fastboot mode in hboot and then run RUU, should work if you have bootloader locker (relocked).

Same problem with this post!
When i followed your step, this has many time to wait. I'm waiting 45 minute but this just show:
Can you help me?

Do you have recovery?Can you get in? If you can fastboot then flash recovery and try to get in.Once in try to open info or just try to wipe all (no SD card) then you will see bricked or not.

[Q] Trying to upgrade HTC Desire S to HTC Android 4.0 (without Windows)

Thought I would try to upgrade Android from 2.3.5 to 4.0. HTC said it would work...
I've now got it stuck, though and can't move on. I do not own a Windows computer (I'm on Ubuntu).
What I did
I unlocked the phone using HTC's website tools. It uses adb, and you have to send some key to them and they generate an unlock code for you which you then do: fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
I downloaded the RUU (RUU_SAGA_ICS_35_S_HTC_EU_14.01.401.2_20.76.30.0835_3831.19.00.110_275068) from HTC.
Try 1: OpenRUU
I extracted the rom.zip file by using Wine, then searching on rom.zip. I moved it to ~/rom.zip
I then tried running the OpenRUU scripts which failed on attempting to flash (and failed on the automatic reflash attemtp, too):
sending 'zip' (410735 KB)... OKAY
writing 'zip'... INFOadopting the signature contained in this image...
INFOzip header checking...
INFOzip info parsing...
FAILED (remote: 99 unknown fail)
Try2: using hboot
I then tried with the hboot script. This is not for the "desire S" and has the wrong code in for the renamed rom.zip file. I then tried manually putting rom.zip, renamed as PG88IMG.zip into the root of the SD card as clearly summarised at (1)
I booted up into fastboot and the phone opened the zip file but then said "Wrong zipped image!".
Try3: using WinXP in VirtualBox
I then tried to run the RUU exe file in an XP VirtualBox VM. To do this I enabled USB devices for the phone (i.e. added filters for it both in fastboot and android modes), installed the stuff (HTC Sync) and tried running the RUU file.
It keeps saying "error 170 usb connection error". I've tried with the phone turned on (normally) and plugged in via USB, in charge only, Disk Drive and in USB debugging modes. I've also tried with the phone in fastboot mode. I always get this error.
...disable VirtualBox's USB2.0 support
Then it's able to connect to the phone. It ran all the way through the update process except that (a) there was never a progress indicator on the phone itself, (b) at the end it gave an 155 "image error". The recovery process then didn't really relate to anything I could see on the phone. The phone is again back in a2.3.5, so at least not bricked.
Trying to re-lock bootloader...
Then I thought that maybe the bootloader should be locked again (step 11 at (2)) - I had skipped this step before because I thought "I've just UNlocked it, why would I now want to RElock it?". But this won't work either! In fastboot mode, from a terminal, I type
Code:
$ fastboot oem lock
... INFOLock successfully...
FAILED (status read failed (Protocol error))
then the phone reboots itself, and it still shows unlocked. My fastboot screen (in case it's useful) says:
Code:
*** UNLOCKED ***

Rename rom.zip to PG88IMG.zip (not .jpg) then put on the root of ur sdcard (not in any folder) then boot into bootloader, it should find it

Doh! my bad - I had of course named it .zip not .jpg. (I have edited the post since). It WAS found by the phone, but error-ed after opening it, as described.

I flashed my RUU on Linux simply by doing:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash zip YOURRUUZIP.zip
fastboot flash zip YOURRUUZIP.zip
fastboot reboot
(yes, you flash it twice - it asks you 'please flush[sic] image again immediately' because it's upgrading your hboot)
obviously, replace YOURRUUZIP.zip with the zip file you extracted (e.g. PG88IMG.zip)
From the looks of your errors, though, it looks like your zip is simply corrupt...?

Could be but I don't think so. I've extracted it twice, once under Windows and once under Wine and the md5s are the same. I have no way of testing the integrity of the file I downloaded since htc don't apparently provide any hashes, but I would think that the .exe file probably checks its own integrity before running.
Thanks anyway! it looks like I need to re-lock it as a first step, maybe.

and is the PG88IMG.zip on the root of ur sdcard? im guessing not coz that green writing comes up every time u enter bootloader. make sure the PG88IMG.zip is NOT inside a folder
EDIT: heres a wee guide my mate wrote, its for the htc desire but its the exact same method.

Yep. And the phone reads it all (takes it about 3 minutes to open, with the little vertical progress bar), then gives that error. The error goes away fast, so I had to make a video and freeze frame to get that picture.

Oh rite. Must be corrupt download id say, coz it should work. When u downloaded the ruu, was there a md5 next to the download? If so, check it, make sure it matched, if not then try re download the ruu and try again.

Good suggestion. Just done that and the md5s are the same. It's
RUU_SAGA_ICS_35_S_HTC_EU_14.01.401.2_20.76.30.0835_3831.19.00.110_275068.zip

Hmm strange one. I have that ruu on my laptop so il upload the PG88IMG tonight, i know it works coz i already used it. Only thing i can think why its not working is maybe something to do with taking the rom.zip from the ruu using ubuntu, i got no idea why tho.

That's probably because you're trying to run this through VirtualBox - does this also happen if you use adb from within Ubuntu rather than putting VirtualBox between your OS and your phone for no reason?

Maybe, but I think VirtualBox was working fine (e.g. HTC Sync worked).
As for "for no reason", I have read that the executable does quite a bit of stuff in terms of resetting various low level bits, and of course, being an HTC, there are hundreds of flash options, not just the usual handful.
I have been in touch with HTC directly (they told me initially the 4.0 upgrade was available), but they now say that this won't work with my phone.
I believe that the update is not accepted during the normal means because it is the WWE not the UK edition, and therefore the CID/MID do not match and are getting rejected because of S-ON.
Thing is, I don't want to risk bricking the phone by trying to get S-OFF and forcing the update because handsets are expensive! I've given up on this project for now...
Thanks to all for the help and advice.

Nope, all it does is this:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash zip YOURRUUZIP.zip
fastboot flash zip YOURRUUZIP.zip
fastboot reboot
This is what I did with my phone (I never ran the RUU) and it updated to ICS just fine.

Yeah it was a DS. The article you link to even mentions that flashing a WWE RUU should always be possible: 'Everyone can de-brand his device easily by flashing a stock system image' (although, that sentence continues, that will make you unable to receive carrier OTAs, but that doesn't matter for our device)

Can I confirm that

means the whole RUU.zip as downloaded from HTC, or the rom.zip as extracted from running the .exe file within the downloaded RUU?
And also, http://www.htc1guru.com/2013/09/new-ruu-zips-posted/ says "You still need to have the proper CID for the RUU. You can run the RUU.zip with super CID, but you will have to lock your bootloader first."
AFAICS the RUU I have downloaded has a different CID so won't work. Also my bootloader is unlocked (and the oem lock command fails, as mentioned above). (And I'm S-ON.)
