Right, had desire s from three, alpharevx'd it installed clockwork mod, flashed eng hboot. Tried to flash RUU 1.47 europe on it, and it started to work and go through process, updated radio fine, then came up with CID error. No option to do anything but exit. Now I have a desire s that will boot into Bootloader, which has now s-on'd itself and upgraded to 0.98.0002.
Only method of comms seems to be via fastboot.
Now i cant flash the h3g one cos its too low a bootloader version, and i cant upgrade to a newer version cos one don't exist. Can anyone come up with a solution please??
Cheers.
What does HBOOT screen say (in full)?
Are you still able to get into recovery? If yes, then have you tried loading a custom ROM onto the SD card and simply flashing that using the flash zip from sd card option of CWM (clock work mod)?
Unfortunately I am unable to get into recovery, only bootloader, nothing else works. Hboot is displaying a security error at the top highlighted in pink, followed by the version number as described
You should have stuck with the alpharev hboot, which does not allow itself to be overwritten by RUU installs.
Anyway, you need to:
- install hboot 0.980000 (so you can run alpharevx again and get S-OFF)
- run alpharevx and reinstall CWM at the end
- DO NOT install the eng hboot
- flash whatever rom whichever way you want. Your hboot is safe

How can I run alpharevx when I can only boot into bootloader tho?
Try running it while in bootloader. Never tryed it that way, but I'm pretty sure it only needs the USB comms to be up, same as adb. Which they should be anyway in bootloader...
Have you tried to re-setup your phone by executing one of the RUU.exe?
k, as i expected, with no access to adb in bootloader mode, i am unable to do anything. Remember, i only have bootloader to work from. I don't eve3n have a recovery partition installed, it just comes back to bootloader whatever i choose, well, bootloader and fastboot anyway.
yup, tried running the ruu again but to no avail. Just get cid error. And i can't make a goldcard either cos i cant get the code. Might just send it back i think and act dumb :/
What about using the "normal" upadte procedure? Placing the PG88(whatever).zip on the root of the sdcard, and have the bootloader install it?
Of courtse with S-ON, it must be a signed version...
If all else fails s-off with xtc clip then flash custom rom

Have you tried to use the original RUU for your phone/network? I'm not sure if it would take care of the CID error.

I do not expect this to work, but you said you are able to get into recovery, correct?
Well, I would try to enter fastboot mode and try to flash cwm via fastboot -> fastboot flash recovery XXXXXXXX.img
Correct (windows) drivers installed?

Good suggestion! Try this one first.
The problem with trying my original ruu for my network is that it contains the lower hboot version, when i flashed the generic ruu earlier, it actually started the update and flashed the radio part, then informed me the cid error, of course, by this time it had updated the hboot too. So now i have a desire s with an upgraded hboot so i can't flash a new one because of cid error and i can;t go back cos it reports a hboot version error. Where do i look on the system for the p88ing.zip now? can't remember now!
I haven't run a RUU in years, but I think that when you run it on a windows machine, it extracts a bunch of files to a directory. Cancel the process, find the directory, find th PG88... in the directory... You get the drift.

It is not relevant which network you are using !!! Just try newest RUU to get control over your phone again in the first place!
Even if you don't get any network access after setup newest RUU you will definitely be abte to execute alpharevx again, flash cwm and flash any stuff you want to.

I guess that means you tried flashing recovery via fastboot?
Then concentrate on our RUU-suggestions.
Yes, as i said, flashed via fastboot, and i already explained that i cant up/down grade via ruu method because of bootloader version. I can't think of a way out of this as it stands. The only thing that may work is doing it via the p88img method with my original 3uk rom, but i cant find it in my temp files, searched everywhere for it. I've seen it's location posted on here before now, and i've searched it to death and can't seem to find it now
I'm going to extract and upload your 3GUK-PG88*.img although I think you'll need an newer one. Just a few minutes of patience.
So tried to update when the HBOOT 1.20 firmware leak came out and the update failed. I panicked and did something stupid, while trying to revert to stock I managed to remove SuperCID and put S-ON back on. For awhile I was stuck in bootloader loop. Finally I used htcdev to unlock bootloader and now I have custom recovery and able to flash custom ROMs.
One problem, no WIFI with latest ROMS and I absolutely cannot flash anything that seems to touch HBOOT.
RUUs do not work (black HTC screen, show security failure, update failed after USB is disconnected). RUU log shows unknown failure.
P58IMG.zip (with older or newer HBOOT, or repackaged RUU, does not matter) simply return to the bootloader with no messages.
Fastboot flash attempts fail with error 99.
modelid: PG5810000
cid: T-MOB010
bootloader shows UNLOCKED HBOOT 1.20 S-ON
Please help ! I need either a solid idea how to downgrade so I can revolutionary or at the very least an idea on how to fix WIFI.
I did the same thing, semi-bricked in until I went to htcdev.....as far as your wifi goes, that may be fixed with a new radio...but your is the same as mine and my wifi is working fine, it takes a L O N G time to connect after finding a network though...no clue how to fix your wifi my friend. I have been and still am searching all day for a solution, I think if we can figure out how to get our HBOOT back to 1.18 or below we can use Revolutionary and start from scratch...but this seems to be a problem no one has come up with a fix for. If you find anything let me know and I will do the same.
Hello,
I think the problems that you are facing are due to "S-ON" and the Radio. Try flashing a new radio and try attaining S-Off from HERE
The problem is due to S-ON and mismatched kernel. I cannot however flash radio as 1.20 does not support partial flashes. I guess I am stuck waiting for either official ICS or revolutionary update.

Have you tried downgrading the RUU to 1.17?
Here is the snippet of the RUU log (TMOUS 1.27.531.2). On the HBOOT screen it says Security Fail! Update Fail!

Try using the ruu.exe to downgrade all the way to 1.17. There will be at one time you will get stuck with some error(i forgot, but i do get that), so simply just follow what the the guide asked you to. Remember there will be one time where it will asked you to removed the battery, do remove and put in back but instead of turning on as per normal what you need to do is to enter your phone to fastboot and then bootloader and resume again by pressing next. I manage to get the ruu.exe to complete its full restoration.
Edit: i cant replicate that right now as im on sense 3.0, I have to get back to where my siggy in order to do so.
I am in the same boat.. Same situation and Same Results.. To the poster above doing the RUU 1.17 does not work even after you follow the trouble shooting. I have spent at least 20 hrs working on my phone and nope, I have started threads and nope, I have even tried to disect the RUU and tweak security files to allow it to by pass the fact that it finds a newer image than what i'm trying to put on there, It went further but still nothing.
I believe we must wait until a newer RUU comes out that is newer than the 1.72 image we have. Or until Revo updates to 1.20HBOOT support.
Remove the SD card and try again
Thats weird. I had couple of times switched from s-ons to s-offs and vice versas, from all firmwares and even back to the native firmware without issues. Sorry not much else I can help with.
I ran an RUU that was a higher image than what I have, and still no luck there, and no luck booting the phone up into fastboot and restarting the RUU either. If I could find a way to flash a new radio to match my ROM (revo hd 3.6.13) I would settle for s-on until somebody comes out with something to s-off 1.20 and up.

Just because the RUU is a higher image doesn't mean it will work if you don't have SUPER CID, and you can't obtain SUPERCID in this state.
You have to have the RUU from your carrier/country and it must be newer than your image. So me, I am waiting for the official Tmobile RUU ICS

Remove the SD card and try what again? Try the RUU again? Which one? Any of them? What would the SD card have to do with not passing the Security check put in place regarding the image file?
If you downgrade the hboot back to 1.17 doesn't that break functionality of ics roms? Just curious.

If you are able to downgrade to 1.17 yes it will break ICS. But who cares as it would allow me to S-OFF again and do everything properly.
Correct, our issue is we cannot even downgrade due to the S-On.

Hi people.
The thing at the moment is stuck at JuopunutBear. But better to start from begining...
I decided to flash a different rom into it. So i unlocked a bootloader, installed "4EXT Recoveryy Touch" and tried to flash it straight away without having any backup... then the device use to get stuck on boot logo (as i rear later because of "s-on") and enabling "smart flash" on 4ext might help... but it didn't worked for me so i decided to install "JuopunutBear" and get "s-off" (on device which does not boot up any more)...
But my plan failed because whatever i did it ends up on "JuopunutBear" screen.
i though this was going to work but it did not:

that is definitely the last time i play like this but now only thing i want is to get it working...

An RUU will make your phone completely stock. As for the juopuonut s-off, it seems like you are using an old version of control bear.

so you need the correct RUU based on your CID/MiD/Version-Main ..
downloading any RUU and just modifying the android-info.txt wont do any good (it only works when you are SOFF)

my current non-working version is 3.32.161.52
and the best i could find is 1.24.161...
i can't downgrade and can't put anything custom because i it is SON... so it is dead end for me.
is it possible to put some fake ROM by force (like copying files somewhere or smth...) even if it would not work but which would be seen as an "1.24.161..." when i would try to install it properly?
Just brain storming sorry if i am not telling anything clever...

Hi! Are you still looking for the right RUU? If I got it right you need the Vodafone UK one. You can download it from HERE That will work with your phone. I have the same RUU and always used it when I had to. Boot your phone into Bootloader, then select Fastboot. Make sure on the screen it does say Fastboot USB, then run the RUU and let it finish. Ohh! And don't forget to relock your bootloader before running the RUU. "fastboot oem lock"

i think i am able to wipe something if i unlock it again but i have no idea what and what effects it is going to make if i do and if i am not going to delete too much (like HBOOT itself) and stuff like that...
is that way possible at all in my condition? is there any tutorials about doing so?
I just unlocked it again. i have some options..:
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
wipe catce + dalvik
wipe dalvik cache
wipe battery stats
format system
format data
format boot
format all partitions (except sdcard)
format sdcard
is deleting something going to make me able of installing gingerbread ruu? (because in theory just this old rom is good to my device)
is there anything useful in this list?
If you do a full wipe that's not going to effect hboot but all your data and the installed rom itself. That means you will not have a usable rom flashed on your phone so it will automatically boot into bootloader. But try to download the ruu I linked and follow the steps. If it doesn't work then we can figure out something else.

[RED]OH WOW MATE!!! YOU ARE MY HERO SINCE NOW! EVERYTHING WORKED JUST AS IT SHOULD[/RED]
anyway it is still interesting to me what can you delete with these functions of "4eXT" in the list and if my theory about deleting something and installing gingerbread is right? if yes what should i wipe or format?
When you are flashing roms, in 4ext recovery, there is an option to format all partitions. By doing so you can achive a fresh and clean install of the chosen rom. It does not affect your hboot or your firmware. It only ereases the partitions roms are using. To install gingerbread roms or ruu, you must flash the appropriate gingerbread firmware first. To do so, you must achive s-off first. As you already have 3.32 firmware installed you are "only" able to flash all the currently available ice cream sandwich and jelly bean roms. Hope this helps.

Honestly, do not worry about bricking your device, just enjoy the freedom rooting gave you. If something goes wrong, you can always use that ruu. The latest voda UK version is 3.32.161.(52)? The main thing is the first 3 digits: 3.32-> ics firmware, ...161-> Vodafone UK code. The last numbers don't matter. Always make sure you flash the correct rom according to your firmware version and your device
Btw. You can install roms require 3.32 or 3.33 firmware! Enjoy flashing!

THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP YOU ALL :highfive:
This is more of a clarification request than a help question
As I understand it, mind you I am not that well versed in Android dev, you cannot obtain SuperCID/S-OFF either through Moonshine or Facepalm methods when you are on 2.16 HBOOT. Is that correct?
Given this is fact, the only way to have 2.16 + S-OFF is to be S-OFF before upgrading HBOOT to 2.16?
So let's say for my phone I have 2.15 HBOOT Moonshine'd S-OFF, if I upgrade to HBOOT 2.16 will i still maintain my S-OFF status?
And as a side question, what methods are available to upgrade my HBOOT from 2.15 to 2.16? Current phone is TMOUS CM10.1.3 with the latest *.17 firmware.

This is more of a clarification request than a help question
As I understand it, mind you I am not that well versed in Android dev, you cannot obtain SuperCID/S-OFF either through Moonshine or Facepalm methods when you are on 2.16 HBOOT. Is that correct?

Yes you stay s-off unless you give a certain command in fastboot. I'm not going to say the command because someone will type it and mess up their phone.
(FYI do not Go back to S-on unless your phone is completely back to stock)
Follow the original post in the Maximus HD thread, that flashes the new firmware that will update the HBoot, Radio, Repartition for new Android. Also the modified TWRP in that post is the only recovery that will work with the new firmware.
Oh, and yes, Moonshine and Facepalm do not work with 2.16. But there is a new way to S-off using rumrunner, that will even work with 2.16.

Do i have to be on stock to follow the Maximus install or can I be on a different rom with a different recovery than what is provided in the install package until I flash the provided recovery at the end of the install?

Ya, that is fine to be on a different ROM and Recovery.
Follow the directions exactly. (for example downloading and installing maximus before installing the new firmware and recovery and then reinstalling Maximus.

Here is another post related to MagioRom. It has firmware update instructions and also a link to a tool if you don't want to manually enter commands.

Welp i got past the first install but after rebooting into fastboot and oemReboot trying to flash the recovery (after the firmware.zip was successful) I am stuck at the black screen w/ silver HTC logo and an incomplete green bar. Power down and try again? Or wait some more, been about 5 minutes so far.

I believe you are still in RUU mode, so since the firmware successfully flashed, reboot phone into bootloader and fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

that is correct, following maximus to the letter it did not mention going back to bootloader after flashing the firmware.zip. What about the incomplete green bar should I be worried about that?

Nope, I'm almost positive you have done everything correctly. Just my memory is a little fuzzy, but I'm pretty sure that is exactly what has happened to me. (I've installed Maximus and firmware 3 different occasions)

It shouldnt matter still being s-off, but I still have my unlock token to unlock the bootloader.

Forgive my ignorance but wasnt the entire point of being S-OFF was not having to jack with the bootloader being locked and unlocked/relocked etc?
Got it to boot, working on second maximus install now.

I know what you mean, but no, the bootloader needs to be unlocked to root and flash custom roms. But there is still some security that needs to be turned off to be able to change some things, like HBoot and other things.

Thanks for the help, got it booting and charging. Gonna test the battery with the extended battery from the One X+ and see how much better this battery is vs CM10.1.3 and bootloops/reboots etc.
Hi guys,
My sister sent me her HTC One SV aka K2-UL i offered her from expansys on june, it is stuck on Hboot
*** LOCKED***
K2_UL XA SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.00.0000
eMMC Boot
...
I can go to Fastboot USB ( or AC )
She 's worst than a noob so phone is stock, up to date but non-root non-unlock, still S-ON and so on.
just once phone reboot and stay stuck...
From here i can navigate but after reboot i'm still here.
I tried :
factory reset and recovery (with rom renamed PL80DIAG but would be too easy...)
RUU but RUU asked for bootloader so stuck on "waiting for bootloader"
go to htc dev to unlock bootloader but after flash unlock token ( unlock token check successfully) but : Nothing happens and still writtten ***Locked*** then if I "fastboot oem unlock" it says failed :<remote : loading custom splash failed>
fastboot flash boot.img but nothing works since still S-on and locked bootloader (superCID is out too)
flash custom recovey or even fresh stock recovery but nothing worked for the same reasons...
Do you guys have any idea of something i could do?
Thanks for your answer and forgive my English I'm French
As long as you are ***LOCKED*** you can quiet do nothing.
To use our available RUU you must also be unlocked & S-Off.
Somewhat the same situation
I am stuck here:
***Tampered***
***Unlocked***

I can get into Fastboot as well as bootloader, I CANNOT GET INTO RECOVERY. I have tried to restore with the respective RUU files from the All things HTC ONE SV forum. I have also tried to flash the recovery boot and radio img files through fastboot usb. NONE of this has worked for me. I really enjoyed this phone before I went and made it all FUBR. If there is anyway to get it to boot to any recovery or rom, i will much appreciate it. Thanks for all your help from previous posts as well as any future help I get from information posted here.
Related to your hboot, you should be able to flash any recoveries, but i usually recommend this one.
What command do you use to flash recovery and do you get an output from "fastboot devices"?

Oops you already are 4.2.2. I have a system.img and a boot.img that I can make into a rom.zip to flash via the OEM-RUU mode.

Well then I was right then I was wrong. Sorry. HBOOT versions for the Sensation are stuck in my mind.

Thanks a million for the replies. I was able to lead the recovery and get into it (the most progress i have had in a year with this phone). With that being done. When I go into recovery I am unable to mount the internal storage. I am not too sure of the procedures I need to go through to get this thing functional again. I have been tinkering with my S3 for the last few months, but with KNOX on now I am looking to Jump ship completely from both verizon and samsung. Enough rambling, Like I said thanks for the help, any assistance in getting this thing to boot to a ROM would be much appreciated.
BTW
I used the fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
I have tried this before with no success. This time it worked.
I also flased the Radio and Boot img for ICS.
Thanks.

If you want I can just skip you to 4.2.2. You don't need to reflash recovery and stuff. I will make a package that will update HBOOT and radios. And system/boot.img.

He first needs to be S-off, to flash radio & hboot. I have made a 4.1.2 rom for cricket, must be linked in my index thread. Wipe all, flash the rom, flash boot.imgwith fastboot and hope that little baby is booting.
If yes, use moonshine.io or rumrunner.us to get S-off.
Then we will do next steps.

Wow! Awsome! This bad boy booted. I was able to flash the rom through recovery. This is much further than I expected to get with this device. Now when I try to go S-Off with either moonshine or rumrunner I get an error saying not able to make adb connection. When I use fastboot devices my device will show up...if i do adb devices nothing...Would love to have S-Off and SU installed. But like I said this is much further than I expected to get so anything further is icing on the cake. Thanks in Advance.
Is Usb-Debugging enabled?
Any output from adb devices? HTC Sync installed (for the drivers)?

He can just use the Naked Driver for the adb driver. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2263822
Ok I DID have USB debugging enabled. After messing with the drivers and my Windows 8 computer, I have came to the conclusion that it is something with the drivers and their compatibility with Windows 8. Either way moonshine or rumnunner never worked for me in a windows 8 environment. I dual boot ubuntu 12.04 anyway, it saw my device just fine adb and fastboot. I ran moonshine and it went through all the testing stages, but was never able to completely run...so I still have no S-Off. Do I need to update Hboot or anything? Also am I able to load a custom rom on this device with S-ON? I have been looking but I do not see many out for this device at all, which is a shame because I feel as though it is very comparable to my GS3. It would be nice to see a nice AOSP ROM on this device. But all take any updates I can for the device, hopefully it will help with the issue I have will cell reception dropping all the time. Thanks
To answer some of your questions:
- you can't update hboot because you are not stock and not S-off
- there are indeed not much roms to flash, but you could do with S-on (and unlocked bootloader)
- if you would flash the Sense 5/Android 4.2.2 rom, you would have noizy sound, without the firmware files (which you need S-Off to flash)
Another way for getting S-off (which should work with your hboot), is facepalm.
But the part of changing CID to SuperCID is very risky, read carefully and only do, when you are sure you understand, what to do!!!

Thanks for all the help! I am now SuperCID with S-OFF, Facepalm worked like a charm. Would it be possible to put slimrom on this device? Anyway thanks for all the help, I am going to check out some ROMS..as far as flashing goes, I am assuming how I have my phone now I should be able to flash any rom that is compatible with the device.

You're completely S-OFF? The radios and new HBOOT update need to be flashed in RUU mode. Let me get my bearings and you can flash everything. (adb reboot oem-42 or fastboot oem rebootRUU is a way to get to RUU mode.)

Yes I am completely S-OFF with CID 111111 and SU. The phone has been working good, Cricket service is not all that great in my area. I see there is a software update 2.04.1050.5 (15.1 MB), I am assuming if i run this update it will most likely wipe everything I just did. Is this correct?
