[Q] Can't flash radio with S-off, not with sd or cmd

Hi there i am trying to flash my radio but it doesnt work. I am trying to flash Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2 because i am running [ROM] Android Revolution HD™ 3.6.0 XE and this radio seems te be the best way to work with this rom.
in hboot it says:
pyramid pvt ship s-off rl
hboot-1.17.008
radio-10.11.9007.15_M
eMMC-boot
if i try to flash using this guide:
Requirements:
- HTC Sync
- A Windows PC
1. Connect your phone into a PC, and make sure that USB Debugging is enabled
2. Click "Start here". A black command prompt window will open
3. Type: "adb reboot bootloader"
4. Once your phone is in bootloader (white screen with text), type "fastboot flash radio radio.img"
5. When the flashing completes, type "fastboot reboot"
6. Done. Enjoy!
it says when i am typing fastboot flash radio radio.img, writing 'radio'failed (remote not allowed). Does anyone know how to solve this? I googled myself crazy but there is not really much clear information for the htc sensation. And does anyone knows how to make the sensation eng-off?
If i copy the zip file to my sd card and install itit reads the file but it shows an error and wont istall the file either, so this way also not works for me. If anybody has a solution for my problem it would be very welcome, thanks.

shouldn't hboot have .000 at the back ?
hboot-1.17.008

To use the FASTBOOT FLASH RADIO command, you either need to have an eng-hboot or the Revolutionary HBoot in place. The standard HTC HBOOT does not support remote fastboot commands.
One reason why trying to flash the zip file from your SD card would fail in HBOOT is because the radio zip file has a version that is lower than the one you currently have installed.

thanks for the replies, i managed to get my phone eng s off and then i could install the radio i wanted, so problem fixed.

[Q] Bricked? By trying to get s-on

Dear xda-community,
as said in the title i dont know if i bricked my device by trying to get s-on again.
At first i read some threads here about getting s-on again and revert to stock.
I was s-off by revelutionary and flashed the ENG-hboot a few days ago (0.98.2000). After that i flashed the stock 1.47 rom and was trying to get s-on and stock again with the 1.47 RUU. I read that if i have the ENG-hboot i can run the RUU and then i get back to stock and s-on. But after i was running the RUU, i get to the bootloader again (on the phone). In the header stands now "*** Security Warning ***" and i'm s-on again like i want it with hboot 0.98.0002.
But the problem is that i cant get out of the bootloader, i can only acsses fastboot and the bootloader. If i click 'recovery', 'reboot' or anything else it only restarts the bootloader. I cant even turn the phone off, only with pulling the battery :/
So i'm stucked in the hboot 0.98.0002 with s-on and i dont know what i can do now or if i bricked my desire s permanently
Can anyone help me please?

are you sure that you have used the right RUU?

It should be if you bought it in Europe. What happens when you try the RUU again? You should do this when "FASTBOOT USB" is written on your phone screen.

Ok there is what you can do:
run RUU without a connected phone. Let the screen open. Go to WIndows Explorer, C drive and type in the search box : rom.zip. When you find it copy it to another place and close the RUU window.
Then extract from the rom.zip these images: system.img, boot_signed.img, recovery_signed.img
If you do not have fastboot command use the Guide in my signature. Then in cmd on your PC with phone in "fastboot usb" mode type:
Code:
fastboot flash system {path to the file}\system.img
fastboot flash boot {path to the file}\boot_signed.img
fastboot flash recovery {path to the file}\recovery_signed.img
where {patho to the file}\ should be replaced with the the actual path to the file from your Windows Explorer (like C:\android\images)
then, if the flashing is successful try to reboot to OS (wait several minutes on the white screen it can take some time to load)

thank you for your help!
i will try that and report back in a few minutes

hm
i cant get it to work in this way :/
if i write fastboot flash system C:\android-tools\system.img
it tells me:
"sending 'system' (571388 KB)...
OKAY [93.130s]
writing 'system'...
(bootloader) signature cheking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 166.095s"
its the same with boot_signed.img and recovery_signed.img

if i try fastboot getvar version-main i get : 11.10.401.4
think there is a typo, shouldnt it be 2.10.401.4? could it be this and if yes how could i change it?

So you problem maybe sounds the same, but it is not.
Try
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Your phone will reboot to a black screen with silver HTC logo. Then run the RUU.
Other options is to go to the repair centre and tell them that this happened during OTA update.

Go to repair center and say that the OTA update did this (it is the same as RUU) They should repair it for free

maybe there is any way to get s-off from fastboot or bootloader?

got to new hboot with this instruction: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20850548&postcount=22
managed to get the unlocktoken from htcdev but if i flash it everything themes fine, but i cant choose the option yes (unlock bootloader).
if i choose "no" and press the power button it reboots like it should but if i choose "yes" and press the power button nothing happens. i can still choose between the options but nothing happens :/
anyone know how i can get it working to unlock this bootloader and flash a custom recovery?

[Q] HELP ? SuperCID

So i finally decided to root my phone. i rooted it and got CWM recovery and well i tried updating the firmwire to ics so i can flash an ics rom. and when i updated the firmwire it said cid error update failed. I rebooted my phone but it was stuck on bootloop. i assumed that the firmwire update went through since my phone would't boot up. So i went ahead and flashed the virtous rom and now that doesn't boot up either. i found out that i had to SuperCID first before i flash the ICS Firmwire. But in order to SuperCID my phone has to be On The Home Screen Wich i can not do since my phone is stuck on bootloop >.< ! Help ???

You are soff?
Did you have fastboot/adb setup?
Can you go into bootloader and post the hboot, radio, son/soff status.
(to go into bootloader remove battery... Put it again then press volume down and power button together... You'll get a white screen.. Post the details from that..)
First of all if you used PG58IMG.zip for firmware update then either remove the file from sdcard via a card reader.. Or just boot into bootloader without sdcard in your phone
sent from my blazing fast pyramid through sonic waves

You can either superCID or add YOUR cid to the firmware file.
Either one is pretty simple. I'm going to assume that you have adb set up already, but if not you'll need that first.
SuperCID:
remove or rename PG58IMG.zip from sdcard
reboot into bootloader (power+vol down)
from adb/fastboot directory:
Code:
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
put PG58IMG.zip back on sdcard
boot into bootloader again and let flash complete
Edit PG58IMG.zip:
extract the zip file
locate the android_info.txt
edit the file with notepad++ to add your cid matching the format of the others listed
compress all extracted files into a new zip and flash

You need to go to fastboot from hboot screen use volume up/down buttons to browse through menu and use power button to enter it once you've selected fastboot.
Then connect your device to your pc
Your phone should read fastboot usb.. Once you've done this
Now go to you pc and
Type fastboot devices
If it shows your device serial number then good its connected
Now to SuperCID
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
This will do.. Make sure it has eight ones
Then after this you can update your firmware using the pg***file you got

let me get this straight ..
when you connect the phone from bootloader to PC ..whats the phone is saying ?
HBOOT or FASTBOOT USB ?
if its saying HBOOT ..press power button once ..that will take you to FASTBOOT USB
if its FASTBOOT USB then you are onnected properly
now to test the connection
open command window from the adb/fastboot folder of your PC (if windows hold shift + right click -> open command window here)
and type this
fastboot devices
it should show your device ..and the rest you follow from the guide

[Q] stuck on juopunutbear screen

i have searched and have found many people with similar problems but none of the solutions have helped me, that said i apologise if ive missed the answer.
so ive used htcdev to unlock my bootloader which went fine then ive decided to "s-off" my phone which has gone fine, well im "s-off"ed however im stuck on the juopunutbear screen everytime i turn the phone on.
ive tried guide on the unlimited.io website - controlbear.exe -r, controlbear.exe -f. when i carry out the next point when i get to "fastboot flash recovery recovery_backup.img" i get a failed.
this i believe has happened because i started the process in kgs1992's aio app which crashed so i shut it and completed in controlbear, i cant think where else i went wrong, ive read loads of guides.
HEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLPP........gotta ring my dad tomorrow which atm isnt gonna happen!

And are you still struck at the juopunutbear screen?
Then what error you got when you used fastboot command?
... wait why did you do juopunutbear when you are already soff?
Edit:
Got the point..
Try those fastboot commands again
Connect the phone properly .. you should connect the phone properly.. If connected properly the phone says FASTBOOT USB .. if it's just saying FASTBOOT then you didn't have drivers installed or the connection is not proper.
If it's saying HBOOT press power button once.. That should take you to required screen

If Struck on juopunutbear screen:
Well, there's an easy solution if you're struck on the juopunutbear boot screen on your phone. Follow the steps in order:
1.Open the folder where you've extracted the juopunutbear setup files.
2.There'll be a image file in the folder called "boot_backup".
3.Copy that file to the folder you've created during the bootloader unlocking process from HTCDev. The folder contains the fastboot.exe, AdbWinApi.dll etc files, and probably it is in your c:\Android.
4.Rename the copied boot_backup image file to "boot" only.
5.Take out your battery out, reinsert it and boot into the bootloader mode using volume down + power button.
6.You'll see a red writing " fastboot usb"
7.See your computer screen now, the current folder where you copied and renamed.
8.Holding "shift" button on your keyboard, right click inside the folder and select "open command promp window here".
9.Type the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and press enter.
10.Then type" fastboot reboot" and press enter.
11.Your phone should reboot normally now.
[****The above method is based on stock sensation rom. If you're struck in a custom rom, then in step 3, copy the boot.img file of the custom rom from where you've downloaded your rom and continue the steps******]

Make sure you unplug all usb devices when doing juopunutbear method, I couldn't do it for hours then I unplugged all devices and restarted PC. It worked on 1st try.
