[Q] hboot 1.23 and says s-off but locked

So i was in the middle of following the steps in the s-off and perma root thread and i ran into a problem. Hope someone here is nice enough to help me out.
So i ran revolutionary and everything went smooth. I already had the clockwork mod zip in the root of my sd card so i just rebooted the phone into hboot. When i went into hboot it detected the pg58img file and ran it, it prompted me if i wanted to update and so i did. It rebooted the phone and then i went back into hboot. The hboot said it was 1.23 and said Locked instead of Revolutionary as it displayed previously.
When i try to run the pg58 file in hboot an error occurs and said it is not compatible and only asks me to power off. So now at this moment it displays 1.23 version of hboot and s-off and says locked.
What can i do after this point? Any help i can get would be fantastic, thanks.

You're still good.
You're locked out of some of the most advanced fastboot commands. But that's it.
You still have S-Off. ADB will still work. You can flash ROM's. Etc etc etc....
It's a known problem. But it's not really a problem.
It's not like you divided by zero and destroyed the fabric of the universe or anything.

This is a noob question but how would i install clockwork recovery? I thought i would try dl from market but it said i didnt have root permission(obviously)
Is there a thread that has a solution to my issue or maybe you can quickly guide me out of this? lol Just kind of confused as to what i should do next lol.

Look in the development section for a thread called guide to s-off.
Skip the s-off part since you've done that.
Go right to the part about installing recovery. Following the directions. It's incredibly easy. It'll take about 3 minutes.
Once you have clcokwork recovery you can flash custom ROMs. You don't actually have to root the stock ROM. (Though you should make a backup of it just for kicks. You can do it all through clockwork recovery)

Yea I tried it multiple times already. I have the pg58 file in the root of the sd and when i go to the hboot it says
"Model ID incorrect!
Update Fail!
Press <POWER> to reboot."
Thats the only option it gives me so i am not able to install clockwork recovery.

Do you have SuperCID?

no i do not, would that fix the issue? i thought that is just for installing any rom on the device. My issue is that i cant get recovery to work.
I would think that is the next step after i run the perma root zip.

It should. Follow the SuperCID instructions here. Then update your firmware via the bootloader with this package that rmk made. It includes ClockworkMod Recovery.

Cool, thanks. I will definately try this as soon as I get off work later today and post up a status regarding the issue

He doesn't have use of Fastboot commands. I am pretty sure they are needed for super CID. Let me check.
He can't super CID as Fastboot commands are used.
Have you tried to run the correct RUU.exe? I think that would change back your h boot. There are zips in the development section you can use to downgrade but you may need super CID to use them.

Yes, he does. CID commands will work with 1.23.xxxx. I've done it myself. Advanced fastboot commands won't work (he can't flash a radio through fastboot).

Yeah, I had SuperCID to flash the new firmware to use an ICS ROM, then changed it back to the T-Mobile one after. No worries, it's confusing.

I have the same problem. The Super CID does not work for me because when I type adb devices two blank lines show up, can't get the device number. I followed the instructions to the letter and usb debugging is on.

Okay, I am not near a pc atm so I cannot look where they are located, if you have the adb tools you also need another program called Net Framework installed on your pc.
Make sure your phone is powered onvand usb debugging checked when plugged into pc. I find it easiest to hold the mouse over the adb tools folder, press alt & ctrl keys and right click on the mouse and choose open command window here. Now type the command "adb devices".
Good luck.

First boot can take 10 minutes to load as the Davilk cache is being recreated. Also, did you perform a full wipe first and check the Md5 checksums, make sure your downloaded ROM is not corrupt.

[Q] IN a huge need of help!

hey guys, my phone is unlocked but s-on because i have to use htcdev (wrong writing of s-on) and now its stuck at hboot, nothing i can do works. Is there any way that i can mount my phone to the computer while its in hboot? is there anything like this for sensation? http://androidforums.com/incredible...ivers-adb-bootloader-disk-drive-htc-sync.html
I mean mounting as it so i can acess what is on the phone because although it says fastboot USBs it also says on the computer, please insert disk into removable disk (I), which i know is the one for this phone.
Thanks.

Try flashing Stock RUU.

I tried the same aboev with boot instead of recovery but still the same message.

Do you have adb tools installed? You need the fastboot drivers in the package in order to use fastboot commands. A little more information would be helpful, which h boot version do you have? Also, if you have htc sync installed on your pc uninstall it, you only needed it for drivers.

i have adb tools, my hboot is 1.23. I have fastboot tools and when i typed fastboot flash recovery PG58IMG.zip it said sending.....OK then writing....fail. Is there any other information that i can supply?

I see, have a look here, there is a newer version of h boot with s off and super CID posted here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767. Are you running ICS? Because the 1.27 h boot will bootloop with GB ROMS.
1.23 I don't think has advanced fastboot commands working. 1.27 does.

Can you get into fastboot screen on your phone, if so, flash your RUU from there.
I am trying to think of things I am posting as I think of ideas to help you.

Hm well yeah they both require me to put something on my sdcard. However, my computer wont mount it, it doesnt get picked up.. Also, sinec i already have an old PG58img file on my phone, i have to dismount the sdcard to put it into hboot and remount it because it then tries to run the update process for the img file but then reboots into hboot again. My computer just doesnt pick it up? am i missing drivers that are needed? i tried flashing the ruu from fastboot but all the ics ones just give error when they used to go into setup and the others say cannot update version of android.

In a really big trouble (Need help with returning to stock ROM)

So... I got excited about flashing my HTC sensation. I had done it before with ZTE blade and it wasn't that hard.
Long story short... I flashed the ROM, all went succesfully, but now I'm stuck in a bootloop. I can restart to clockwork recovery though. So I'm hoping it's still possible to get back to stock ROM. In that I need your help. I need to get information about which stock ROM to download, and how to flash it. I can't get to home screen to use USB sharing. Neither does Clockwork recovery usb sharing work.
Im stuck with putting the memory card to my other phone, putting the needed files on the memory card and then switching the memory card back to my HTC.
I've searched for hours and hours in google for help, but haven't found anything to match my situation. I have no idea what to do.
I've tried formatting system, wiping system and cache and then running CM10, bootloop. Formatted system, cache etc and flashed CM9, bootloop.
I have no idea what to do.
PLEASE HELP!

Did you flash firmware?
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda app-developers app

Are you sure your s off? Otherwise enable smartflash within 4ext.

So my HBOOT version is 1.27.0.0
And i did the Token ID thing, wasn't that putting it to S-off?
How to check if my firmware is updated? I think I did it but I'm not sure. Tell me the things you need to know.

If you were able to find your HBOOT version you should also be able to see whether you're s-off or s-on, copy down all the information that appears when you boot into bootloader and post it here.
You need 3.33 firmware from here. Read well before flashing.
Learnings for the future, always nandroid backup before wiping!

Ok so in order to flash a ROM you either need to be s-off or get 4EXT recovery and enable smart-flash.
Again, you need the correct firmware so please make sure you get what you need from the link in my first reply.

As you are S-ON and HTCDEV Unlocked, you need to flash the 4EXT Recovery, enable smartflash in the settings and flash the rom. Then you will be fine! Follow this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861

So, it seems that the phone is bricked? Is there no way to bring it back? :C
I've got S-on, no backup and my usb doesnt recognize the phone when I'm in bootloader mode. And I can't get to home screen because of bootloop. 4ex thing needs usb and so does every other thing seem to need? Am I completely ****ed?
Argh, I knew I shouldnt have touched these things :C

You are far from bricked. You need to get into recovery and mount usb storage. You can probably do it in clockworkmod but I've never used it so I don't know, if you're having trouble get 4ext recovery (since you do have a way of getting stuff onto your sd as you said in your first post), and you can toggle usb storage from there.

I understood from the 4ext recovery that you need to get usb connection working, without it, there's pretty much nothing to do. I can only get things to my sd card with my other phone, but since i'm s-on, i can't flash it from cwm. At least that's what I've understood. I'm starting to get annoyed. I really don't have money for another phone, and I know that I was really stupid to even try flashing.
If there is a way still, I'm gonna try it, but I can't establish usb connection. When I connect my phone to usb in CWM, it says drivers couldn't be installed.

The thing is, I can't get an usb connection to my phone AT ALL. And I'm stuck in a bootloop and I'm S-ON without a backup. So only thing I do have is unlocked phone and i can boot to fastboot and can get to CWM recovery. Still, I've understood that it ain't enough. I need an usb connection with my phone to my PC. Which for the life of mine I can't get to work.
Any ideas are appreciated. I'm getting desperate :C

You can still flash 4ext via fastboot. Go to this thread and some way down the OP look for the line "there's a direct download for a version you can flash via fastboot".
Are you familiar with adb? You need to download the recovery.img using the link above and flash it via adb. Read this.

If you are in fastboot and connect your cable, does it read "fastboot USB"? You can flash 4ext from fastboot!
Did you follow the steps from the guide I linked before? You are already unlocked, install the 4ext recovery, enable "smartflash" in settings and flash the Rom you have chosen.

Ok so when you first boot into bootloader you should have:
HBOOT
<VOL UP> to previous item etc. etc.
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
FACTORY RESET
SIMLOCK
IMAGE CRC
Then by selecting FASTBOOT you should be able to connect your usb cable and it will change to FASTBOOT USB. If not you need to be sure you have the correct drivers properly installed on your PC.

I'm getting real tired, have to go to sleep, but on a quick glance it seemed that with fastboot and adb, you need to have somekind of connection with the pc, right? You can't push commands to your phone without a connection? And I can't get to usb-debugging. I can only use CWM, and it doesn't help.
I'm starting to loose hope, but I'll try to check those threads tomorrow, maybe tomorrow I can save my phone, maybe not.

Yep, you need to be connected to your PC via USB, with drivers installed (I used this) and FASTBOOT selected in bootloader, at which point it SHOULD say FASTBOOT USB.
At this point you can use fastboot commands to flash the recovery.img I previously linked you to, then you will have 4ext recovery and you will be able to set up smart flash to allow you to flash whilst s-on. Only once you get to that stage can you start thinking about flashing firmware and custom ROMS.
And don't lose hope, plenty of phones have been resurrected from far worse conditions. Just requires some patience and careful reading. Don't do anything until you make sure you understand what it is you're about to do.

From fastboot, along your usb cable connected and htc drivers/adb are installed, you use the fastboot command: "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" that's how you can push the recovery on your device. (actually you should have just clicked on the link you quoted and would have found the answer.)

I unplugged the USB... the command prompt shows up an error (FAILED, too many links)...

Okay I've managed to save my phone using this method http://unlimited.io/qhsusbdload.htm
So now im back to square one... I can go bootloader... i unlocked it again... but i still cant go recovery...

Now its back to being bricked again... as I was working on the phone outside when i managed to unbricked it. I choose to power off the phone from bootloader menu, thinking that I could work on it when I get home... alas, when i got home... the phone doesnt turn on... and i saw the dreaded QHSUSB_DLOAD thingy again...... omg...

Maybe A bad download. Download the latest twrp.
Make sure boot loader is unlocked and you have fastboot usb on in bootloader
Then within toolkit pick flash other recovery and manually select the one you downloaded. Then try selecting recovery in bootloader.

RUU is an exe the fact it creates a rom.zip is fairly well hidden. Are you running the exe or doing some other crazy thing?
You should not be flashing anything to your phone if you are confusing zip and exe's, it means you lack the basic understanding of computers to be able to complete these tasks without failing.
How did you try to flash the recovery? What recovery did you try to flash? What were the errors given?
EDIT: you should not be using one click tools.
Use fastboot and flash recovery yourself, it is a simple task.

the zip file can be obtained via temp folder of the windows directory when you run the exe file.
The all in one toolkit requires the zip so I got it done via that method...
Yes I know how to do it via command prompt but the toolkit is handy...
And lastly you can say my understanding of mobile phone system isnt complete but dont insult me saying I dont understand whats zip and exe......

Bricked? Exactly what is happening.

beats me man... Told you, was trying to flash RUU through zip then it just hung there... but I managed to save my phone... I redownloaded and reflashed recovery as you advised but still no avail! Basically, back to square one....

I know it can be obtained from temp folder.
Why go to the effort of getting the rom.zip to use in the toolkit when you could simply just run the RUU, which you had to do to get the rom.zip in the first place? Especially when it was failing, why push on with trying to use the toolkit instead of just using the RUU as it was intended by HTC?
I have not much knowledge of the toolkit, but when it flashes zip's is it for normal ROM's or for RUU rom.zip? The rom.zip is not in a format that can normally be used by most tools, it is not the same as flashing a custom ROM.
The toolkit is likely only for installing custom ROM's via pre installed TWRP and not compatible with rom.zip.
You said you were using a RUU zip and complaining it was failing, it appeared at face value you were confusing what the RUU even is.
I am still lost why running the RUU and grabbing the rom.zip from temp folder and then flashing in a toolkit was your chosen method. This just points more towards you are confused about what a RUU is.
I am sure the RUU would work if you just let it run like it is supposed to.

Why?
Personally because of the state you have got the phone in to I would:
1)go get the correct tools. eg fastboot, unlockcode, twrp and rom
2)Ensure phone is charged
3)fastboot oem lock
4)Run RUU.. and try actually running it which means just click next and yes a lot.. no fancy going to temp folders and trying to incorrectly install rom.zip via random tools
5)fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
6)fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.4.1.0-evita.img
7)fastboot flash boot boot.img (from desired rom)
8)boot into recovery
9)mount USB and transfer desired ROM
10)wipe data and system
11)install ROM
12)reboot in to ROM.

well... as mentioned, would really love to follow your steps but.... its bricked now... again...
I did run RUU.exe once but it hung for 30 mins without activity... but then again that was when my bootloader was unlocked... then i read that i can relock and do it through ruu.zip instead.... so i went that route.......

The least risky way would be to flash a stock ROM from here not an ruu. There are some untouched roms. I, myself have bricked running the telus ruu.

[Q] Stucked in HTC logo

Hello guys, i hope someone can help me. This is my situation:
At the begining i had a stock rom 4.1.1 from AT&T. I succesfully did S-OFF and installed Super CID 1111111. Everything went great but my goal was to install the Germany T-Mobile 4.2.2, so, the next step i did was to follow a tutorial wich guided me to install team win recovery. I copied the rom i mentioned to the sd card and when i tried to flash it failed. So, i did a wipe (Im so stupid ) and now i had no OS. after that, i tried to install ClockWorkMod to follow another tutorial and fix that. I did it using adb but when i tried to reboot in recovery it got stuck in a black screen and i need to push the three buttons for a long time to power it off. Since that, i turn it on, put it in fastboot mode but the console don't even recognize it when i try to use adb (It find no adb devices). So, i did a mess with my phone and i cant find a solution.
Can anyone help me please? Thank you so much guys.
PD: If you need any other details i can let you know anything.

I'm gonna need your bootloader details please. Also, what error did you receive in recovery when trying to flash the T-Mobile ROM?
The reason adb commands aren't working is because you need to use fastboot commands when connected in fastboot mode. I'd suggest flashing TWRP recovery back into the phone, mount the storage, copy a ROM across and flash it.

Is that usefull?
I really dont rememeber exactly, but all i can remember was a Failure red legend in the TWRP. and as i said, i cant get the console to recognize the phone by adb :/
EDIT: i succesfully installed again Team Win Recovery. I moved the EVITA_UL_JB_50_S_TMO_DE_5.08.111.2_By_Turge ROM to the sdcard and try to flash but i it fails in the "Updating partition details...", i cant get any further. No OS.

Yeah that's exactly what I needed to see. Like I said, adb isn't going to work, you need to use fastboot commands. So use fastboot to flash TWRP recovery back onto the phone and try flashing a ROM. If that doesn't work I'd suggest running an RUU.

Which version of TWRP are you using? Did you check the md5 of the ROM?

Hello timmaaa, i really appreciate your help. I did check the md5 checksum and the rom seems to be ok. As i mentioned before, the problems shows up when the flashing process steps to the partition detail "something" process. If you are ok with that, i can let you get into my computer by Teamviewer or some other remote control software so that way you can see anything you need by yourself. I don't know the Team Win Recovery version installed and i'm in my work right know and i didn't bring the htc with me, i'll let you know the version as soon as i get home.

I don't have a PC at the moment so Teamviewer isn't a possibility, just post the TWRP version when you can.

Ok, no problem. The version of TWRP is v2.5.0.0

That's your problem, 2.5 is full of bugs. Download TWRP 2.6 from here. Put the file in your fastboot folder. Connect phone in fastboot mode, open command prompt from within fastboot folder, issue the following commands:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "filename.img"
(the exact filename, minus the talking marks)
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now you can enter recovery on your phone and try again.
