Hi,
so my phone doesn´t work after my attempt to upgrade to MIUI 4.
I started of being on the old, Ginger Bread based MIUI rom. So I updated my hBoot following this guide. After finishing all the steps I was not able to boot back into my original ROM, which I restored from the nandroid backup, as instructed. I got stuck at the HTC logo.
So I went to this MIUI thread in order to download the new ICS based MIUI zip. Unfortunately, the link provided in this thread is broken. So I went to the official English MIUI website and downloaded the latest MIUI rom. I flashed this, and now I get beyond the HTC logo, but remain stuck at th "mi" logo.
So i thought I might try to flash the kernel provided in the MIUI thread here on xda, but I just can´t seem to be be able to find any downloadable file at the location provided.
So I tried to reflash the kernel provided in the hBoot update guide with no success. I was stuck at the htc logo again.
Reflashed latest MIUI - stuck at "mi" logo again.
I kindly ask the community for help..........
Oh yea and I can access bootloader and 4ext recovery.

You may need to wipe cache in the recovery after the hboot update.
Anyway you have already flashed stuff on top so it probably will not work.
The file from the official MIUI site requires the files in your new /lib partition to be present before installation. So if you desperately want MIUI go to miuiandroid.com and download it from there.
Or just use a Sense 4 of a JB ROM from this forum. Remember to make a full wipe in recovery before install.
And BTW there is a link in the Download section of the kernel thread. In your panic you haven’t noticed the "SHOW CONTENT" button
Wow,
so now the phone seems to be back to previous. Somehow the restore from nandroid worked out. Thanks God...
Still, I wasn't successful updating to MIUI 4.
The hBoot now shows:

Great, thanks for being with me. Well I'm used to MIUI and I'd like to stay with it.
Somehow I will work my way through to it hopefully.
I think I actually downloaded the latest MIUI zip from miuiandroid.com. I mean the one that didn't work for me.
Now I can see the link to the kernel.

I had stucked problem trying to install miui after chging my hboot, so i tried wiping everything 1 by 1(using 4ext) instead of everything except sd.
Then before installing i reboot recovery then did my install and it booted fine.

Ok, so I can give it a second try and download the latest MIUI from miuiandroid.com once again and flash that (although I think that's what I did once already without success.) Do i get you right that this rom is supposed to be different from the one from the Chinese MIUI website?
Anyway, given that this probably won't work, are there any other suggestions/solutions? How about going through all the steps of the hBoot flashing guide once again?
Anyone?

Hi,
Recently I flashed my phone to CyanogenMod 7.1. Later on I changed my mind and wanted to use the latest stock ROM. Specifically RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.5_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_219480_signed.exe.
I extracted the file and followed the instructions. After the flashing is done, I got stuck with the HTC logo on the white screen.
Before that I rooted my phone using Revolutionary and used ClockworkMod to install any image, but now this part is gone due to flashing to stock firmware... so I get the original Android system recovery with options like reboot, apply update from sd card, wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition.
So, as a result, I am still able to go to the boot menu as usual, but I can't install any image. When I try to open the CyanogenMod ROM file from the sdcard, I get this message:
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.

My boot menu shows this:

I tried to connect the USB cable to my PC, but I could not get adb working. Actually, the only thing that recognized my phone was the exe file of the stock firmware (in FASTBOOT USB mode). I wish that I could use revolutionary again or at least to deactivate signature verification, so I would be able to flash using the extended recovery screen (and as a result I would be able to install any ROM that I want).
How do I get out of this messy situation?
Thanks a lot for your help.
The thing messed up because the phone was able to successfully update the ROM, but its your HBOOT now which has a problem. What you've tried to do will NEVER gonna work. You have managed to S-OFF your phone, you should have know already that its unchangeable (on a certain angle).
The latest official ROM uses system/lib on a separate partition but your HBOOT does not support that. That maybe one of the reason why ROM is not booting up.
Installing CM directly won't be successful as you are not in a custom recovery.
Method to get out of this messy situation:
1. Install custom recovery via fastboot
2. Install custom ROM again
3. If you really want to be on stock, you need to change your HBOOT first to either the old S-ON or S-OFF HBOOT, then RUU (GoldCard recommended). It's just easy considering you are still on revolutionary HBOOT.
All the step's guides has already been posted a LOT on the forum, use search.
Hint!

Thanks so much. That really helped. I thought that getting the original stock ROM back would be as easy as setting a new ROM, so I am back to CM7.1 and everything is fine now.

Good to hear you got it working. Ask a mod to close the thread.
Can anyone help me to revert my HTC Sensation with Android Revolution ROM, 1.17 boot, S-OFF, 1.0.0.2 4EXT to stock GB ROM ?
I tried to recover some old backup but unfortunately it seems that it is corrupted, md5 check didn't passed.
All partitions are formated, but recovery and 4EXT still works,
So far tried to recover old ROM from OTA_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.45.401.2-1.35.401.1_P2_release_208907.zip but with some errors appeared.
I want to go back to original GB rom or ICS just to sell my phone, got now SG S3.
What should I do, thank you for any help.
If your going to sell it just download the full ruu on your pc

Before I will sell it, I want to have possibility to download official update to ICS just to try how it works, but I would be glad if this phone would be totally free of my modifications (S-OFF and root access) just like a stock, new one.

First RUU gives the same error.

Hey, that's easy, don't worry.
Follow this guide: http://tinyurl.com/RUUGuide
to find your right RUU & instructions on how to flash it.
You'll need to flash the RUU twice. (Hboot pre-update)
It's a pain but you may have to try a different ruu try one with ics

Thank you both I will try it right now and would be happy to learn something.
My blind guess is that maybe I flashed some strange radio version few months ago, right now I have Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2, could this be a reason to my update errors ?

There was nothing wrong with the phone, it was temp rooted.
the tool told you not to close the window.
Temp root wasn't removed.
Anyway, just head to the IRC Channel: #helpmenow
Once there, click my name & select query.
I'll help you out.

Hi all,
I hope one of you masterminds is able to help me out.
I tried to root my sensation without s-off with hecdev.com (using One_X_All-In-One_Kit_v1.0) and then tried to install cm9 from one the links here via revcovery with CWM 5.8.0.9.
But then I was stuck with the loading animation...
I cannot run Android now, so I cannot flash a stock RUU.
I can enter bootloader, which seems to be unlocked, here's the info:

I was on the latest official ROM (ICS, via OTA) before trying that.
I have not succeeded in flashing a ROM anymore.
Do I need to get S-Off first?
Or is HBOOT to new? Do I have to revert? How?
I tried older HBOOT, but it wouldn'T do anything after PArsing
Please help, any hint is appreciated =/
PS: I would be more than happy to have a stock rom again...as mentioned, cannot use a ruu.exe file, as it seems fastboot usb ist not recognizable by ruu.exe
Edit: After the 4th or 5th try, RUU recognized the phone when in fastboot usb mode, but update fdailed, cwm saif "security fail" ... sigh, seems I really blew it this time

Hi,
Start again using THIS GUIDE
Flash the boot.img from your ROM through fastboot.
Extra step 1 from this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25587345
Be sure to use the boot.img from your ROM.
Then make a clean install of the ROM again.
Also, read that thread for the sake of understanding what you're doing.
There is NO need yet to flash an RUU.
Latest OTA comes with hboot 1.29 which is locked.
You might not be in the latest one, perhaps start with an RUU with.the latest fw (3.33).

but when rebooting the white screen with the green htc logo appears right away and nothing more happens...any idea? I may have messed up the kernel before, but when asked by ext4 recovery whether to flash a kernel, tried both custom and stock, none changed the problem with booting up
@Raven2k: Manually installing boot.img with fastbok seemed to help, at least I come over the white screen, am stuck with the beatsaudio logo right now - thanks so far =)

Have you tried to full wipe your partitions and then install the 3.2.1 Miui? I had no issue doing that. Probably you can't flash the 3.2.1 version on the 2.9.11 since they are very far in time one another.
I don't get why you have a "locked" bootloader and still S-OFF, but since you are able to flash roms I would say it isn't an issue.

Hi guys
I've looked everywhere for a solution. Maybe someone know another post that I might've missed.
My phone won't start, it keeps rebooting to the white HTC screen.
Right, now to the problem. Before this problem I had a custom ROM installed (Carbon 4.3) which was getting a few errors so I decided to restore it with clockworkmod from a previous backup. Now what this did is turned the device to ****Locked**** and S-ON .
So what I did next is use HTCDEV to unlock it. Well that bit worked but it's still S-ON.
Now it shows

I can still go in to Recovery and use the 4EXT recovery Touch (v1.0.0.4 RC3) and i managed to wipe everything including the SD as I already backed it up. After I installed a custom ROM (Blitz 4.0). Everything went well, finished installing successfully. After a reboot the phone won't start to the OS. It keeps looping to the White HTC screen (without even vibrating every time it reboots). So I can install any ROM but can't boot into it.
I even re-partitioned my SD thinking that the mSD was the issue but no luck.
Any particular advice how can I fix this?
Many thanks!
Go to recovery---> tools--->enable smart flash
And flash Rom it will work
OR
flash boot from Rom by fastboot command
fastboot flash boot boot.img
For kitkat Rom update 4ext recovery to latest o think its rc 6

Hi and thanks for quick reply.
I've tried the first method (but no luck)
Although second one worked like a charm! :good: Thanks for that. Now my next question is: If I want to install another ROM will it make the same problem? If yes then how do I get the from S-ON to S-OFF? Will the Revolutionary Utility help ,me or mess it up?

and yes you will have to do the same if smartflash fail again
if you want to S-OFF you have to flash stock rom first
