Hey all, so last night when I was trying to flash a new ROM onto my phone, I wanted to make sure I deleted everything off my previous ROM so I went into TWRP and basically went on a deleting frenzy. I wiped basically everything from system, os, to cache. Lets just say my thought process wasn't so smart. So now im stuck in hboot. I pmed Scrosler yesterday and he basically told me to RUU back. SO now for the last 5 hours I've been trying to look up how to do that. I downloaded a 1.85 Evita cingular RUU thingy, and tried using fastboot. Now I've run into another problem, my computer can't recognize my usb. Ive tried two different usb plugs of mine. I tried uninstalling HTC sync so that it could uninstall drivers and such, and then reinstall but to my avail that has not worked. So I can't even fastboot. So now I'm stuck and Ive looked on other peoples threads and such and can't figure this out. Yes I know I'm a noob. I SUCK. So if anyone could please help me out. Im rooted and unlocked bootloader. I get stuck in bootloop obviously because I dont have a OS. I can access Hboot and fastboot.
Thanks alot for anyone that could help me in this great time of need.
EDIT: I solved the problem. I just used my fathers computer which recognized my usb and RUU'd to 1.85 then unlocked bootloader etc. thanks for the help guys
Did you make sure you have the correct HTC drivers installed?

Doesnt HTC sync manager already update/install the latest drivers for your phone automatically?
You should manually install the drivers and turn off HTC sync manager. That may be your problem. I would uninstall it.

Ok, so I uninstalled HTC sync. I found a link to download ONLY the drivers.
Yep, getting same error still, USB device not recognized.
Try mounting the storage in TWRP, PC should recognize the 'removable disk' and you can put a zip onto it and flash the rom that way.
This way worked for me when I did the exact same thing. I thought I was screwed; now I'm running TN SE 2.2, highly recommended.

I tried doing this last time, but my PC isnt recognizing my device. It says USB device not recognized. This is the major issue I am plagued with otherwise I would do as you said.'''
EDIT: Ok so I was able to get it recognized on my dads laptop, he is running Windows Vista. So now when I go onto my computer and mount cache, (cant mount sd card through twrp because it says E:failed to mount /sdcard(invalid argument)AND UNABLE TO MOUNT SDCARDWHEN TRYING TO READ SETTINGS FILE) oops caps), it says I have to format it. I right clicked and tried to open as portable device and that works but I can't drag my ROM in there.
Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this because the new HBoot is stopping the 1.85 RUU? Wouldn't you have to 2.2 RUU?

he is correct, you'll have to use the 2.20 ruu if you were on a 2.20+ rom. unfortunately you'll have to wait for a root method too :/

Oh ok thanks . I downloaded ADB +fastboot onto dads laptop. I successfully relocked my bootloader, now I am in process of RUUing
hey since I RUUd with 1.85, do I need to root again or will I still have my root?

But assuming you were unlocked before, getting it back is just a matter of flashing a custom recovery and superuser.

I ran into a few problems getting back to stock until I remembered a minor detail from my HTC Hero days.
You need to download and install HTC Sync get it here install it.
Reboot your computer
make sure the phone is NOT in USB debug mode and is in charge only mode.
the proper drivers will install. you'll know it's done right if you see ADB pop up as one of the drivers installed. You'll see a warning that HTC sync isn't detecting your phone and that's ok.
Then run the RUU exe all should work fine.
Get the RUU exe from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952224 This is FROYO

So even if I've tried going through the rooting process and it didn't work, this will basically put the phone back the way it was before I started that process?

Good sir I can not thank you enough for helping me get my phone back. i don't even mind all the bloatware now. Too bad I can't use the thanks button more than once. I really appreciate it.
Happy to be of service. I can't dev my way out of a paper bag, well I've never tried, but I can share what I do know.
I tried to run the RUU but it failed twice. Both times it would get about 70% finished and it would stop with an Error 110 which says that a file is either open or corrupted. Then it tells you to download the RUU again and run it again, which I did but got the same results. I downloaded it with the anti virus and firewall turned off. Is there another site to download the file from?

Either flash a different rom via Clockwork Mod or run the RUU. If you choose the RUU, be sure HTC Sync is installed, USB Debugging is checked and Fastboot is unchecked.
Thank you! It works!
Just used this thread to get my Inspire back to stock before taking it back for a refund and cancelling service. Decided to go with the HTC Evo3d from Sprint. This method worked returning the phone back to the latest (Gingerbread) and unrooted it from Cyanogen (CM7) ROM. Thanks a ton for sharing your wisdom!
Baffling Issues.
Hey, I have a question. When running this RUU update (downgrade) it gives me this: Error 140: Bootloader version error. Its agravating. I'd love to go back to froyo... I really can't use GB because it blocks tethering. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I take it you're not S-OFF? HTC (and probably others) decided they didn't want users reverting to older versions. You'll have to root, get S-OFF, before you can revert, but if you're rooted, you might as well just use the new andTether from google code:

Just found out at Best Buy that my phone is crap. The memory is out and I have no apps installed, my HD card is empty except for the standard stuff, and I get error that I need to free up memory or something like that. Guy told me to UNroot my phone and call AT&T.
So, this thread is all I need to do that???? Can it really be this easy????

Ok, thanks for the info! And this phone has no root, its my Moms phone and she needs the tethering. Eh, maybe we can exchange the phone. Other than that I don't know what to do. I'll browse a few more forums. Actually, one more question: is it possible to root with the latest update from HTC? As you can tell I'm really not that up to date on things around here. Haha.

I have an HTC EVO 4G phone which I am trying to root using revoked3, unfortunately with no success. I keep getting the unable to root. Firmware is too new error. I have read dozens of posts on this topic and have tried all of the suggestions from changing my PC connection from charge only to data disk, installing HTC Sync and uninstallng it, I have the proper drivers installed, have USB debugging checked etc. I have unstalled all apps and even factory reset my phone with no luck.
Does anyone have any idea on what I am missing.
Thanks a bunch.

Hey guys I'm pretty new to rooting. I unlocked and went through root process using hasoon2000 all in one that I downloaded here. Long story short phone worked fine , the I couldn't get it to get past boot screen....boots loops I think!?!?!? To cut to the chase. I now can only access twrp. It will not let me reboot because it say I have no os. I did do a tiatium backup but can only see those files on my pc when I mount through twrp. Also if it helps looks like it is in s-on. This is my buddy's phone....... I'm stoked its not bricked but I have no clue how to fix it. PLEASE HELP!

Hey guys, I just got 2 HTC Sensation 4Gs off of Craigslist, they are both still running Gingerbread. I want to root and custom rom, but I'm aware that I cannot install newer ICS+ ROMs without updateing the hboot.
My question is, is it easier to HTC Dev Unlock, root, s-off, Super CID, and THEN update the hboot. Or update the phone with the official ICS update (thus also updating the hboot) and THEN HTC Dev Unlock, root, s-off, Super CID?
I've already had experience rooting and s-off(ing) 2 ICS sensations, but don't know if I could do it easier if I don't update them first.
If it is easier to update the hboot after rooting Gingerbread, can you point me in the right direction?
Thanks.

Hi,
If you intend to s-off on GB ,then, do NOT go to HTCDEV
S-off using revolutionary.
Look HERE
Everything is listed in order.
Then, update the firmware/radio HERE , using the 3.33 Universal firmware.
Then,install custom ROM.
Thanks! Exactly what I wanted. question though, is the latest 3.33 okay to use on T-Mobile? Or is there a more T-Mobile optimised version I should use?

It says enter Serial Number on Revolutionary IO. Does it mean the S/N beneath the battery or the IMEI? Both are getting accepted and I'm being given 2 different keys. I'm pretty confident that it means the S/N so that's what i'm going to try. Is that correct?

Hi,
Yes,you need a sd card.
It is far easier to s-off with revolutionary,so it is worth the effort to find the correct drivers,and re-install them(and reboot the pc)
Also try different usb slots,and a different cable if you have one.

Okay, thanks. I'll also try doing it in Linux Mint. I'll let you know if I need more help.
But one last question. In step one it says:
1. Run the revolutionary Utility you just downloaded from http://revolutionary.io/ and if it has found your device it should read
"Found your Device: HTC Sensation Z710* Applications -> Development)
It doesn't say to plug in the phone, which is a given, or what mode it needs to be in?
THEN it says to do it again but this time plug in the phone, in normal mode, and set it to HTC sync

No, I plug the phone in and then start the utility. It wouldn't find it though so I uninstalled and re-installed the drivers. But I can't restart my PC right now. In 90 minutes I can though. (watching a live stream with family)
I'll let you know if I get it working, whether through windows or linux.
Ugh, my PC is saying that USBcoinstaller.dll is missing. Any idea how to get it? I can't find it by searching google.
Maybe I have to download the android SDK. Didn't need to before when I rooted my ICS sensation a few months ago. But maybe I have to for gingerbread.

Hi,
As well as installing sdk,have you tried installing the latest HTCSync?
I'm trying that to. Hopefully it'll get it working.

Okay, I'm having problems. I tried following [GUIDE] (For Noobs) SDK, ADB, and Drivers and now my ADB isn't working!
I tried downloading and installing the recommended SDK zip and it wasn't giving me the files he said it would, then I installed revision 9 and 15 because it said it neded them, they ended up bringing "Platform-tools" which contains another ADB.exe, and it won't let me delete it. I tried installing the latest HTC Sync and it doesn't find my phone. It still gives me the error about USBCoInstaller.dll I am going to reboot my PC but I honestly don't know what I did or how to fix it. Everytime I start any ADB including revolutionary.exe it pops open does a TON of text for a split second and then closes again. Any Suggestions after I reboot?
Edit: actually revolutionary.exe pops open and closes quickly without displaying anything.
My brother fixed it. apparently I want thinking about the fact that HTC sync can't be installed. And the driver wasn't completely installed, which he solved as well. So we're now using revolutionary.

Just tried to install Cyanogenmod for the first time but i am also stuck like many others. So excuse me for any noobness.
Got an HTC one S. Installed Cyanogenmod 1.0.0-ville (stable), rooted with openrecovery. Forgot to wipe the data and cache before install so thought that might be the reason for not getting past the Cyanogen BOOT screen, did it afterwards still no response. Followed instructions coming from this thread but am stuck with he ""waiting for device" error when executing fastboot flash boot boot.img. I think it has something to do with not having the USB debug mode. Fastboot doesnt recognize the device.
The thing that puzzles me is that at point 2 of the instuctions USB debugging must be enabled, how can i check this mode is enabled without getting into the Android device settings?
Sounds like a driver issue to me. Have you used the phone on that computer before.

Hmm... Maybe try re-installing HTC Sync and the drivers on your PC. This post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604677 has a link for the drivers.
Just curios - what hboot, radio do you have? Are you s-on or s-off? And what TWRP version are you using?
Did you make a backup you could restore?
**Edit**
One last thought, what ROM were you running before? Was it stock? I'm wondering if you could flash a rom that works with the stock kernel (maybe TrickDroid 7.0?). It depends on what you were running before. Other option is to run an RUU to get back to stock,and then start from scratch. Can be a pain, but will give you a fresh start. I'm sure those aren't the only solutions, as I'm still learning all this stuff.
Good luck and feel free to ask questions...
