When I try to install a rom I have an error 155.
What can I do?
It happened when I installed the hboot revolutionary and after I installed the ROM "RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.5_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_219480_signed.exe"
I managed to put a hboot 2.00.0002 and unlocking with htc development
Thanks a lot.

Hi french mate
Please post threads like this one in General or Q&A section next time.
You have an unlocked hboot, so you can flash custom recovery with fastboot
4EXT recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130004
and then download and flash a custom rom.
You will find everything you want here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1146601
Unlocked and shop-on ? Does it mean you didn't unlock your device successfully? I'm not sure about this ,but I can flash custom Rom while my hboot is locked and ship-off . My point is that maybe the ship-off real matters . BTW ,the red triangle means your device has not a custom recovery . You can try the solution posted in second post and see whether it works .

No, that means he has the official HBOOT from HTC, and unlocked it via HTCdev method. That method doesn't s-off your device, but it allows user to flash custom recovery, rom or boot image via fastboot
Hello,
I'm install 4EXT recovery, it's OK
I'm installcustom ROM (Hyperion or Sense-Me), it's OK
But when I reboot, the phone don't boot on the ROM but always in recovery Mode.
I see the logo HTC adn the phone reboot in recovery mode (4EXT recovery).
The problem is solved
Thank you very much for your help especially Floatshow.
I flash the boot.img with Fasboot and the ROM to start.
And thank you for this forum

Sounds like you need to read and do some more research before attempting this.
Just because the HTCDEV.com site doesn't list your specific DesireS version doesn't mean you can't use it.
Part of the unlocking process will involves generating a key on your phone and this is what drives the unlock process, not the selection you made on the HTCDEV.com screen.
Read and search the sticky posts on this forum.
Well, i got some steps forward in this prosses.
I got the bootlock, unlocked, and rooted with super one click, as in this >>http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20701305#post20701305<< guide. but when it comes to the: adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version commend, i get the error: Unable to chmod /data/local/tmp/misc_version: No such file or directory

Did the previous adb push command work? More than likely you received an error and the misc_version file did not get copied to the phone.
no, forst time i got that message was ther, and i tried again, and the same.
Hmm, maybe you can restore a backup from before you tried to root it. Then use this guide to root it again. Look at the discription!
That one worked perfectly for me

This is the guide I used, I had to add a bit to 2 of the commands for mine to work but it done the trick.

adb push zergRush /data/local/tmp
I added /zergRush
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp I added /misc_version
Also there are 2 misc file choices in the link, use the second 1 misc_version02 zip, unzip all files into the folder on c:

try step by step.....i can help you.....
Mine is S-ON unlocked and rooted
please try to other methods of downgrade/S-OFF. Using the htcdev method has two big disadvantages:
1. You may void your guarantee
2. You will have to flash the boot image after every rom change/backup restore
of course......

if hboot is ***LOCKED*** must I use htcdev ?
no, it means your bootloader is ok, and using alternatives methodes you can easily find in the INDEX you can keep it
that way.

Guys is this possible? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1245334 ?? I just found it and it might be helpful to others as well!
If you do this, you have to use a old RUU. That means you are going to install al old version of HBOOT. Revolution can only work with a old HBOOT. But when you install that RUU. You also get a old version of the software and also a old Sense version. You may choose to use that. But i think you do not want that. So after you have done that all, you have to install a new ROM. And you may choose which rom that will be.

Well lets make it clear..Right now i have 2.10.163.5 software version..If i download a newer software version (newer RUU) and instal it will it debrand the phone?(Without using rooting tools and stuff).Because that's what the second link i posted says...
So all you want is debrand the phone. I dont know how to do that. I have seen a few topics about that. I also do not know if you loose your warranty when you do that.
hmm i see mate..Well at least someone who knows should tell us if what i posted is valid and we can do it without bricking the phone..

Any idea's?
SOrry for noob questions, I've never done this myself as i got a friend to do it before. ANd thanks for the help
Dude, you have just unlocked the boot loader.
HTC dev unlock process will not give you S-off, also can cause some warranty issues (don't be disheartened)
Now you need to download a custom recovery and flash it via fastboot.
I would recommend 4ext touch.
Then flash any custom ROM. The guide should have all the details.

I've done that, i used 4EXT_Recovery_v2.2.7_RC5.zip and thats ok. I cleared caches, Changed from 3EXT to 4EXT and then installed REAPER 2.2 then used update 2.2.1 over the top.
So i have 4EXT Recovery installed! I installed the ROM (off SDCARD) with this program and when i reboot it goes into a Boot Loop graphic and stays there.
4EXT Recovery Touch is just a touchscreen version of the one i used no?

Update: After reboot got FC com.android.phone.Switched to 3G and reboot and works good.Tomorrow will try new hboot and radio.
Success in flashing new hboot and radio.Having some issues with CM11 so I restored CM10.2.

Maybe a slightly naive question......but I obviously need to downgrade my HBOOT to achieve S-OFF on the phone via the Rev method.
Can I restore my HBOOT version back to 2.00.0002 without running another RUU through it or is there another method.
My MIUI ROM works OK under 2.00.0002 should expect problems if it it runs under an earlier version ?

[Q] Manual Downgrade fail with HTC Dsire HD

I have HTC Desire HD A9191 with Android version 2.3.3 and Sense 2.1, I wanted to flash a new ROM (Er3Bus XL - GingerBread 2.3.5 - Android Rom - Beats), so I followed the procedure posted in this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD
that was clear that i have to downgrade first, i folowwed the corresponding thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912
everything was OK, I choose the manual downgrad (I couldn't download the respective rom directly, so I didt it with the mirror link, and I think this problem was happened because the rom is corrupted) I have renamed the it as recommended PD98IMG.zip...etc but when the phone restarted into bootloader mode... arriving at this step: Checking [PD98IMG.zip] ... and then no "do you want to start update?" message is showed up, and then return to the main menu...

Oh right, there are codes on eBay for £2, are these trusted codes?
There are internet sites that give out codes for $12 or so. Some of them are trusted.
Not sure about 2-pound eBay codes.
