I don't like starting new threads especially but I have searched and searched and not come up with an answer/problem quite the same as mine. I am not a TOTAL noob and do understand s-on, s-off, htcdev unlock etc. Here goes
I got a Sensation from a friend who acuired it from God knows when but he asked me if it can be fixed. Its currently stuck in fastboot mode. Its Locked S-OFF however NOTHING I try works. Here is some info
BOOTLOADER

CID
Is already Super CID = 11111111
RECOVERY
There is no custom recovery flashed and trying to flash recovery via fastboot fails saying "remote: not allowed"
FASTBOOT COMMANDS
Fastboot commands work to get cid etc but get a "remote: not allowed" to erase or flash boot,img, any rom or any hboot or ANYTHING
BOOTLOADER FLASHING
If I try to flash a firmware file through Bootloader, it parses the P58IMG.zip but fails on Bootload saying Fail-PU Partition update failed
FLASH SHIPPED RUU
Trying a shipped ROM also fails. Goes smoothly, reads current image on phone as 1.45.401.3 but once it starts updating, it sticks in waiting for boatloader and gives ERROR[171] while phone has restarted in FASTBOOT mode
HTCDEV Unlock
I thought I would give the HTCDEV method a go even though I know this is redundant since I am already supposedly s-off but even that fails cuz no lock, unlock screen comes up. Flashing of Unlock_boot.bin goes fine
I am at a TOTAL loss now cuz since I am already S-OFF, I should have been able to flash recover or flash a rom or boot image to get phone working again. NOTHING works!!
Any ideas anyone? Apologies if this has been covered before and I couldnt find it.

Have you tried playing with fastboot commander? Mabe try formatting all partitions, then installing RUU or PG58IMG ?Or try with different RUUs? The last thing I can think of is to lock the bootloader back, and try to send it to HTC with warranty.
Even fastboot commander, the same as entering commands manually can not flash anything or erase any partition. Dead end there.

what about locking it back to s-on? did you tried it? does it "run" a custom rom ?
First off to use all the fastboot commands you need to have a eng Hboot on the device. You can not use all fastboot commands with a stock Hboot which is what the Hboot 1.27.0000 that you have is. Click on this link to download the JuopunutBear eng Hboot and follow the below instructions to flash it via fastboot.
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip jb_hboot.zip
If you still can not get the device up and going using fastboot after flashing the eng Hboot, or if the Hboot will not flash you may have screwed up partitions on the the device. There is a fastboot or a adb command you can use to get a read out of the partitions but I can not remember it right now, just google it you will find it. I mention this because of the "Fail-PU Partition update failed" message you mentioned.
If it does flash the eng Hboot then you should be able to flash a custom recovery or anything else you want to flash via fastboot. If all else fails though do as gallardo5 sayed and flash the stock ROM via RUU while in fastboot and connected to your computer via USB. Then you can try to start from scratch rooting and installing a custom recovery.

Oh yes, I should have mentioned it. I did even try flashing the JB-hboots, both GB and ICS versions. Neither worked.
It gives error on erase cache, oem rebootRUU reboots back to fastboot and then flashing fails
I think you are spot on about the partitions about being mssed up. Even if they can be read out (i saw the commands somewhere myself) can they be repaired at all?
p.s. Thanks for your help
One more thing I should have mentioned and dont know how I missed, the FASTBOOT page says *** Locked *** not *** Unlocked ***. I dont know if this can/should be changed.
I am sorry in advance if I am being silly

If you have a messed up partition you can not fix it without replacing the whole board. And about the locked in fastboot that is why your fastboot commands are not working. But the fact that you can not flash the eng Hboot sorta tells me you got a bad partition and it will not take the flash. Blackwing had the same issue with his Sensation and all the best guys I know that are over on the IRC Help Now channel could not come up with a fix and finally diagnosed it as bad partitions. Hid was the exact same it would give aerroron erase cache. Find the command to get a read out on the partitions and post the read out here.

If it does not work, maybe you should flash firmware using JTAG.

Hi
I update my phone to ICS by RUU and I couldn't open it. The boot animation is stuck in the green HTC logo. "Quietly brilliant" doesn't even come on.
So i tried to flash the RUU again but it said Error 155. So i tried to superwipe. But when I go into the bootloader and into Recovery, the screen just flashed and went black. And showed the phone icon with a red cross. Seems like I can't get into recovery to install zip from card.
My bootloader says -

Please help me.
Since you are using RUU I wonder it will been fine even you are on custom ROM.
I guest maybe you are using wrong version of RUU make sure you are using the right ROM.
If would you like to try you may would like to revert back the Recovery if your are using custom recovery with this guide [GUIDE] Get Stock Recovery/Install OTA Updates without losing data.

the error you have represents connection issues
you need to run the RUU from fastboot mode in device (your device should read "fastboot usb")
Also you got stuck after running RUU ?? weird ...did the RUU ran first time completely ?
Also for safe RUN ...relock the boot loader and run the RUU...by keeping the phone in fastboot mode (device reads "fastboot usb")
Ok. So I relock my bootloader and I tried to install it. It said Error 140 - Bootloader version error. It's in fastboot USB mode. The installer get up to the Updating signature stage but then it gave error. I have SUPERcid. help?

as you are S-ON currently ..you cant run RUU having lower bootloader versions....(thats why you are getting bootloader errors)
right now you can only run ICS RUU's...
as you are superCID you can get any ICS RUU..
to RUN the RUU
1.make sure your bootloader is locked/relocked
2.keep the device in fastboot usb (i.e. connect it to pc when in fastboot )
3.run the RUU from PC
(only if RUU runs completely and gives you congats message --then only RUU is successful)
if you got any errors even after doing this...please post the error in this thread

Hi there.
I have the exact same problem as the original poster! (Coincidentally the same info in the bootloader too!) I'm trying run a RUU which I downloaded and have had an
'ERROR [155]: UNKNOWN ERROR
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your android phone.
Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.
The error may be because my bootloader is unlocked? But when I try to re-lock it it shows the "security warning" below "re-locked"
and then the RUU gives me ERROR [140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR
The RUU I'm trying to use is called RUU_Pyramid_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.35.707.1_Radio_10.43a.9007.00U_10.51.9007.27_M3_release_198358_signed

Do i need to rename into PG58IMG.zip ? thnx for your help.
I know that the new roms use a new kernel now.
I'm on 1.14 Hboot
S-ON
*UNLOCKED
*TAMPERED
I am rooted (Not sure if supercid but I assume so)
Since you have to be on 3.18 now, and be S-OFF, Do I have to go back to stock, do official 3.18 OTA and then unlock bootloader and root again?
I'm kind of confused.
(At&t One X)
The best way to do it is just to become s-off and then run the RUU. You need to have SuperCID to get s-off so you'll need to clarify that first. Boot into bootloader, connect your phone to pc (I'm assuming you have adb/fastboot installed on your pc), make sure it says fastboot usb on your phone screen, then open a command prompt in your fastboot folder and issue the following command:
fastboot oem readcid
Hopefully it'll come up as 11111111 or 22222222 and you can continue to the s-off thread here. If it turns out you don't have SuperCID, you'll need to do that first.
While you're doing that you might as well start downloading the 3.18 RUU, then run it once you've completed the previously mentioned steps.
Once the RUU is finished you'll need to flash a custom recovery again, I recommend using TWRP 2.6. Use the following commands:
fastboot flash recovery "TWRP.img"
(Whatever the exact name of the recovery file is, without the talking marks)
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now you should be able to select recovery and flash whatever ROM you want to.

I'm trying to get back to stock.
Just sick of this phone.
I didn't know about the 2.20 to 3.18 bricking problem with s-on. so I bricked my phone. warranty replacement on it. got the new on, did the ota update to 3.18. used hasoon's tool to root and unlock the bootloader. got soff, downgraded my touch to use the cm10.1 nightly. and just have had a TON of problems since.
phone turning off, getting stuck in boot loops. tried going to cm10.0 and had the same issues, was able to load a backup from the htc sense rom before I put CM on and even that will reboot and get stuck in a boot loop.
I wish I hadn't touched the damn thing.
Now I'm scared to run the RUU 3.18 because last time it bricked my phone.
I do have my boot loader unlocked, on hboot 2.14 and have s-off.
Should I be okay to run that RUU you listed?
Yeah if you're s-off you can just run the RUU and you'll be back to stock.

Here is the att 3.18 RUU. All you need to do is connect your phone in fastboot mode and run the RUU, it's an exe file. Make sure HTC Sync is uninstalled (leave the drivers installed), make sure no other programs are running, and make sure screen saver/hibernation are turned off.

In the link you provided, on the first page, there were two seperate downloads, depending on when the phone was developed. "Download (restores to official Froyo 2.2.2) (315MB)" and also "Download (restores to official Gingerbread 2.3.3) (309MB)". Was just wondering which one you tried if any at all.
The only thing I can boot into is the 4ext Recovery Touch & hboot Can someone send me stock inspire 4g rom 4ext backup files they are *.tar files [email protected] Or [email protected]

4.Reboot to HBOOT: Shutdown completely (disconnect USB if connected and pull battery if necessary) then while holding down the VOL-DOWN key, press the POWER key for about half a second. The phone should boot into HBOOT, check the PD98IMG.zip for consistency, then prompt you to install. Select VOL-UP to install.
5.Once installed, HBOOT will prompt you to reboot by pressing the POWER button. Do this
I can get to step 4 and instead of flashing the PD98IMG.zip is says parsing and just goes back to hboot. I can't flash anything.
I have been making some MAJOR progress on my phone.. after messing around with a lot of fastboot commands, I found this with helped .. fastboot -c "lge.kcal=0|0|0|x" boot customrecovery.img if forces some images to boot.

7.Once successfully completed, the phone will automatically reboot to HBOOT and begin the process of installing the RUU. The only thing you have to do at this point is acknowledge the prompt to install by pressing VOL-UP. (Note: the RUU install may skip a couple of images during the install but this is normal.
IT FAILS to copy the RUU to the sdcard. and that's what has left my phone without an OS. I've also got the stock RUU htc_inspire4g_att_RUU_3.20.502.52_US.exe to run and complete But my phone hangs after the HTC logo..
So i'm headed in the right direction. Any ideas ???? ~ T
SO I've made a HUGE step in progress yesterday, I installed JellyTime rom and inspire mod and gapps. and forced the boot.img file to boot using fastboot -c "lge.kcal=0|0|0|x" boot boot.img it made the boot.img to run and start JellyTime. I've got android installed on the phone now. The only problem is I need to S-OFF so I can fastboot flash boot boot.img. It won't do it right now, As of now the phone will bootup and hang on the White HTC logo screen, Every attempt to S-OFF the phone has failed so far. Any Ideas ?
Your phone is bricked?
Try flashing this ROM

You don't need S-Off to fastboot flash boot.img. Just an unlocked bootloader.

This is not at all helpful. He is asking for boot.img or S-Off help. If he can't do that his ROM is irrelevant.
OMG. this is the worst place for help ever. I have Jelly time installed and I can get into it But only AFTER forcing the boot.img to boot. I CANNOT boot into jellytime by it's self normally. BECAUSE I cannot flash the boot.img file I get an error message. Because I need S-OFF to be off. right now it's on. Everything I've tried has failed.

This is just about the worst way to start a post where you're asking for help.

Also, you haven't told us what error message you get when you try to flash the boot.img. And is your bootloader unlocked??

What does forcing the boot.img means? there is no other way to flash a boot.img that in fastboot if you are S-ON. There is no need to be S-OFF to fastboot flash. In fact, having S-OFF is not enough to enable flash commands in fastboot (you actually need ENG S-OFF for that).
I suggest that you give detail information about the errors and what you are doing if you want to get helped.
Hello,
I have htc inspire. My phone was new sept 2011 and worked until july 2012. My phone was set to charge only and usb debug disable and was never rooted. One night I put the phone to charge and the next day it I turned it on but it never made past the white screen. I have tried to put the rom on sd card as PD98IMG. I tried RUU. The phone lists:
ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-0.85.0024 MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.10.04.03_M
eMMC-boot
Apr 12 2011,00:55:45
When I try using RUU it gets stuck on reloading bootloader
When I try the PD98IMG method using a goldcard, it gets stuck:
parsing...[SD ZIP]
[1] BOOTLOADER -UPDATING
[2] BOOT
[3] RECOVERY
etc
Please help
Not sure but What helped me get past the HTC logo screen is just recovering the old Stock of the phone.
The link provided is to return back to old stock AT&T Roms.

Boot your phone in Bootloader mode (PWR + VOL DOWN).
Run the RUU Installer.
For S-Off, Advanced Hack Kit (AAHK) was quite a big help to me.
My problem is I have s-on. Phone freezes when I try pd98img on sd goldcard. I can connect with fastboot but I am not sure how to use it. The phone was in charge only & usb debug off when it use to work.

I'm having a problem with my One X and returning it to stock. I've been rooted with S-ON for quite some time now and had the Viper ROM installed. Now it's time to trade it in to Amazon and I wanted to return it to stock and hopefully remove the tampered text. I seem to have gotten myself in to a pickle though and I'm stuck at the bootloader.
I've been using the WinDroid Universal HTC Toolkit to install stuff, I have the unlock.bin file from HTC, and I've been able to communicate with the phone through my Windows 7 computer no problem. But after the last attempt I relocked the phone and not I'm stuck. Here's what it says on the bootloader screen:
*** TAMPERED
*** RELOCKED
*** Security Warning
EVITA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.09.0000
Using the WinDroid kit it shows that it successfully unlocked the bootloader and loaded TWRP, but since it's in fastboot, WinDroid doesn't recognize the phone model and won't let me send any files to it though. When I reboot the phone in to recovery, it returns me to the bootloader.
Anyone have any advice?
First piece of advice: ditch the toolkit, you don't need it. The best way for you to go about this is to follow these steps:
1) Unlock the bootloader again.
2) Flash TWRP again.
3) Flash a ROM.
4) Get s-off (this is the most important step, and all the previous steps were all leading to this).
5) Run an at&t RUU (to return the phone to stock, I'm assuming it's the at&t model?).
6) Return the CID to the original CID.
Code:
fastboot oem writecid CWS__001
7) Relock the bootloader.
Code:
fastboot oem lock
8) Return the phone to s-on.
Code:
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
Voila.

Thanks for the help so far. Under your advice I'm using fastboot commands manually to try and get this to work. So now I'm unlocked again, but I'm having a problem flashing TWRP. I downloaded the latest TWRP for the Evita and ran fastboot flash recovery evita.img (that's what I renamed the file to). It tells me that sending and writing was OKAY, so it should work. Then I try to reboot to recovery from the bootloader menu, and it fails after this. It appears to boot something up, I get a blank screen, then it reboots again on it's own without showing the TWRP menus.
What am I doing wrong?
You can't reboot to the recovery, you can only reboot to the bootloader and then manually select recovery using the hardware buttons (volume = scroll, power = select). The whole process should go like this:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery evita.img
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now you can manually select recovery and it should hopefully boot into it.

That's what I did, although I just tried these steps again. When I used the volume/power buttons and chose recovery, it reboots as it should, then it tries to load the recovery, fails, then reboots and starts up the phone. I should note, and this might be the problem, is that phone boots up totally in to the full blown OS. It's Android 4.1.1 with the 3.18 kernel.
I have SuperCID, and the phone says it is unlocked with S-ON.
Does it make sense and try to flash the 2.15 firmware at this point since my HBOOT is older?
I tried another thing since I can actually use the phone and I'm rooted, I installed GooManager from the store and let that install the recovery then rebooted. It did the same thing. At the very least, if I could only get TWRP working I could recover a TWRP backup I made.
And ultimately, the phone works at this point, I just want to remove the tampered text and keep it at stock. Since I have a working ROM, should I just follow your steps 6, 7 and 8? Do I still need to achieve S-Off and worry about the recovery?
You need s-off, otherwise running the RUU will brick your phone. Just try getting s-off without the recovery. Which ROM is currently installed?
Sent from my Evita
I have an AT&T stock deodexed ROM version 3.18.502.6.
Ok, scratch that, without root you cannot get s-off. What's the exact filename of the recovery you've tried to flash?
