NOO!! Rooted my device, tried to install latest firmware- wasnt successful- htc B.L.

i rooted my device not too long ago with revolutionary.. Everything was successful..
When i got the phone i had the hboot 1.1800
well i went to try a rom.. ICS..
Told me i had to get the latest firmware, well i places the file on my sd card and went into hboot..
it was doing the update but said incorrect CID and now when i reboot, i get the boot loop on the htc screen..
i have a sd card reader, so i can put it in my computer.. so i tried to put back the original img.zip back because i did the win recovery..
so when my device reads that, it says incorrect model..
Help please!
oh my hboot says 1.27 now... how do i get back to my original 1.18?? i have to unroot it now but dunno how

Enter bootloader.
Perform superCID.
Reflash firmware, should be good to go with ics.

Ha ha, you don't download superCID. it's a fastboot command! The thread has a guide, its a simple operation.

Take your time man, this will take longer than 15 minutes. You always have to read the information more than once so that you don't mess up your phone like you did.
Step 4 tells you how to SuperCID

ok im doing what it says.. but when i type adb devices.. it doesnt give me my phone s/n

Easier way - download the firmware that has your CID, kohr-ah has a thread covering all of them I believe
Edit:

1. Find out your CID
2. Download firmware for your CID
3. Put firmware on your sd card
4. Flash
5. ???
6. Profit.

Punctuation omg.

[Q] can someone help me?

i just bought a sensation, and now i'm a previous HD2 owner. so i'm not a noob, i hope.
so...unlocking bootloader and rooting and s-Off...which one to follow? the official on hTCDev website or the revolutionary way?! any difference between those?
please someone clarify some things, as i just became a sensation user, i have no idea about anything of these since HD2 is way different as i noticed and since there are a lot of info on the net, i don't wanna get into things i shouldn't.
i got a second hand sensation but it's still on factory default with android 2.3.4 and sense 3.0
really any help is greatly appreciated

If your HBOOT is supported by Revolutionary ALWAYS use that one...
I dont like HTCdev - It should only be used if your HBOOT is unsupported
Just have a good read through all the noob guides. Be sure of what you're doing before attempting anything...
I cant stress how important it is to follow the guides 100%

haha maybe its just me..
Anyway, Revolutionary IS THEE best tool for S-OFF... providing your HBOOT is supported of course. Did you check to see if its supported ?

if you got hboot 1.18.0000 please use revolutionary method to unlock your boot loader. If you unlock your bootloader with htcdev method you will unlock somd parts of the hboot. not every thing. then you cant flash a custom kernel because it already locked boot.img and cant write a new file over it. thne you will get wifi,bluetooth problems. so unlock your bootloader with revolutionary.

Back from repair now not sure how to root

Hi all, got my phone back from repair, with the latest orange crap and newest hboot. Ive read that I need to use Juopunutbear, to the s-off, root etc, but I dont like the look of Juopunutbear, (using wire? no chance_. I found the old revolution way much safer and easy to do. How can i still do it like that? Would i need to flash the old orange ruu on the sdcard?

You can't run older ruu when SON
To have custom rom's you need to do SOFF via Juopunutbear way or htc dev unlock
The later might not work for you.. As you might got motherboard replaced..
So only solution is JB via temproot

My repair was only for dust under the screen. so i have the choice of voiding warranty via a piece of wire (visual void), or I virtually tell htc im voiding it? There must be a sneakier way?

I believe you do know that.. To turn back SON.. Just one command will do... So it literally means the process is reversible
And I'm afraid that there is no other way to use root/custom rom

I dont actually mean using the exe, i mean pulling the pg file out and putting it on the sd, then it would let me flash back to gingerbread in the bootloader?

I see what you mean about not being able to go backwards. Im stuck now as the dev unlock is no use and I do not have the steady hand to do the wire trick

I highly doubt it. If you're uncomfortable, you should stick with stock. It's always wise to not do it if you aren't sure of it..

If I had steady hands it wouldnt be a problem, Im a flashaholic, hate stock lol x

Maybe if you read over it a few times you might get a bit more comfortable with it? What I do is even print out the guide so I don't miss a step.this has really helped me in the past when doing new things, I know it may sound silly but its nice to have a printed guide infront of you incase you get in a pinch. This way all the steps are right there in front of you. This is what I do. Just a suggestion. If you DO decide to give it a shot then maybe this might help. I wish you the best in which ever you decide. I just wanted to share this with you because having a printed guide has really helped me out in the past. Good luck and best wishes to you!

Thanks for the help, it worked sort of. I completed the s off I said yes to modified hboot, then removed temp root. Then applied root. Problem is the hboot still shows as the normal but with s off and when I try to install recovery it says wrong cid. Nearly there

If your Hboot still says *locked* you cannot flash a recovery.
Please get the correct Hboot from here & follow flashing instructions: http://unlimited.io/hboot-downloads/
You can then proceed to flashing recovery.

Right done that even though the green line never goes to the end my hboot no longer says locked. I put the recovery zip on the sd, booted into bootloader said yes, completed and rebooted, but no custom recovery there?

Desire s bootloop during downgrade

Hi,
i was trying to downgrade my desire s with tacoroot,'cause zergrush give me some error messages on the command line....so,i followed all the procedure for the downgrade,'till i came across step 5..after i've done it,my desire rebooted...and still strucked on the "htc quietly brilliant" logo!it continue to bootloop!what i have to do to continue the procedure for the downgrade?my desire s have the 2.00.0002 hboot..and is s-on and unrooted..i was just starting to do all the stuff!
please help!:fingers-crossed:

When it's temp rooted, run the miscversion binary with adb and downgrade using the oldest RUU for your phone
the bootloop is normal.

My phone doesn't even start up , unless I go into the bootloader menu and press recovery . Instead of the recovery opening up , my phone goes into the GUI. I can't seem to flash a new recovery either, due to which I can't flash a new Rom. I have tried all possible solutions but just can't seem to figure it out. Plese help me !

It gets your device in the relocked state and I think thats what most users don't want if they're still on waranty

to be honast I would rather a working phone than one with warrenty especially since its not worth the paper its written on

If he is on gb he doesnt need to unlock, he can straight s-off it and retain his warranty, the guide to do that totally works. Unlocking is totally unnecessary and is just going the extra road to s-off.
Your post is only if someone who has upgraded to official ics and wans to s-off, which is not possible as the person first needs to unlock.

ok so you have tried to follow my guide above which bit are you having trouble with in flashing recovery?make sure you are selecting fastboot in the bootloader and that it should say usb try checking if the phone can be seen by using fastboot devices.

[Q] is my device recoverable

hi all,
i HAD a sensation running Android Revolution HD 6.8.0. and without checking properly, i installed AOKP-42-20130118.zip and gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip. the phone won't boot or charge. i then realised this is not a sensation rom, it's a HTC ONE rom, i think!! . i've followed the HTC Unbricking Project and get "device not found...check connections" in ubuntu. phone shows up on windows as other device labeled QHSUSB_DLOAD. is my phone toast? sorry if all this sounds amateurish as im completely new to all this. thanks all.

thats some dangerous thing happened there ..if HTC UNBRICKING not doing any help ..then service center only

you received the phone with LOCKED bootloader and SOFF ?
then before doing anything ..i would suggest you to ..check whether the phone is soff or not (I've seen 3 cases at-least where the phone showed soff (after the phone got back from service center) but its not actually soff and people bricked their phone again trying to flash stuff) ... to check soff status go to my soff guide (link in my signature)..try the controlbear soff NO HTC_DEV unlock one ..if the phone is properly soff then the controlbear says soff and exits ..otherwise your phone is not soff ..
also you cant do HTC-DEV unlock (motherboard got replaced so IMEI changed) as IMEI changed and the unlock procedure fails ..the only way is JB SOFF

yes install juopunutbear hboot via controlbear and if that didnt went successfully ..install patched revoultionary hboot (at the end of first post i think) from kohr-ah firmware thread present in sensation development section.
then you cna continue with custom recovery flashing and then custom rom (if you want you can backup your current stock rom too from the custom recovery before trying the new rom )

then you cna continue with custom recovery flashing and then custom rom (if you want you can backup your current stock rom too from the custom recovery before trying the new rom )
