[Q] Stuck on Splash with S-ON and HBOOT 2.00.002

Hello guys
I unlocked my saga via htcdev and installed cwm. I thought that that would be enough to flash a costum rom but now i only see the spashsceen on bootup. I tried flash the boot.img via fastboot manually but that fails (fastboot failed (status malformed (1 bytes))) too. So my HBOOT is 2.00.002 and I am still S-ON but on top of the Bootloader it is Unlocked.
So what is now up with my phone and what can I do?
Thanks :good:

AW: [Q] Stuck on Splash with S-ON and HBOOT 2.00.002
Was your phone in fastboot mode (bootloader saying fastboot USB at the top) when you tried flashing the boot.img?

Error with recovery after changing kernel

Hi,
I tried to install paranoid and then CM10, so i changed kerner from 3.4 to modded 3.4 and then kernel from CM10
and now i have no recovery and cant install new one.
With fastboot flash recovery recovery.img command i have an error with bad signatures.
And with RUU flashing stock in "sending..."
I can get access to hboot (2.15)
im using this tutor. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42540922
Please help what should I do
// i tried with another PC and the same

Simply download stock recovery from here and flash it with 'fastboot flash recovery ville_recovery_signed.img' to run an RUU according to your bootloader version and CID.
After that you should be able to reflash your custom recovery. You should take care to flash a working one, e.g TWRP 2.3.3.0.

100% SOLUTION:
Flash via fastboot Unlock_code.bin "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin"
But ONLY via fastboot, not RUU

[Q] Changing cid in RUU then resigning

Hi, after flashing an incorrect version of gapps onto a CM10.1 nightly rom I have worked myself into a very tight corner.
The phone is s-on, wont boot into android and also I am unable to enter any kind of recovery. I have tried fastboot flash recovery and fastboot boot recovery with CWM and TWRP and flashing a stock recovery extracted from an RUU. All I get when trying to enter recovery is a reboot then HTC white screen then boot loop. I am under the impression all I can possibly do at this stage is to flash a stock RUU yet I can only find one RUU that matches my ORANG_001 cid and that gives me the error of "44 hboot version check fail". So I then tried to flash a more recent RUU but they all have different cid numbers. If I attempt to modify the android-info.txt to add my cid I corrupt the zip and get a sign verification failure. I've attempted to make a new zip and then resign it with AutoSign.zip but again I get a "12 signature verify fail."
If anyone could shine any light on altering cid inside RUU or possibly a way of me getting back into recovery it would be greatly appreciated.

you can install every ruu then and chaning cid will be much easier then.

To run the latest cm hou have to have a hboot of 2.15. What's your current version?
Did you btw flash the boot.img seperatly?
If s-on you have to.
Flash a RUU (cant flash a RUU with a lower hboot than that you already have)
Than do otas till your on jb. Then go back to custom roms.

Thanks for the replies, is it possible to s-off when I can only access bootloader though? My hboot is 2.15.0000 and yes I had flashed the boot.img separately, the rom worked perfectly until I flashed the wrong gapps. I would love to flash an RUU but I can only find one that is compatible with my cid and it won't install.

fastboot erase cache
^-- this often / sometimes / maybe fixes the situation where recovery fails to boot.

Have you tried using Hansoons All-in-one toolkit to flash a recovery?

Won't accept flashing RUU

Hello! I have this phone and it had unlocked bootloader so i flashed custom recovery to install stock rom. But it didn't boot even after flashing zip from CM. So i decided to flash stock RUU. I managed to get cid from unbootable phone by using "getvar cid" so i downloaded RUU with proper cid. This RUU flashes fine until it comes to the end- and that is represented as error 152.
When i unplug the cable, phone shows that partition "USERDATA" failed, and when i reboot the phone, i have black screen with HTC shown, with 4 triangles at the corners.
I tried to unlock bootloader to flash recovery again, but it does nothing when i use unlocktoken obtained from HTCDev. I also tried using rom.zip from RUU to flash through fastboot, but it doesn't help.
is there any hope for this phone ? thanks in advance.

[Completed] HTC one m9 restore. Re-unlock command reports success, but phone stays RELOCKED.

I am trying to restore my stock ROM so I can do a carrier reset. (I use ting and my phone was sprint).
I am using ubuntu but have a windows install as well.
I Unlocked the bootloader with htcdev, installed TWRP, and rooted with SuperSU, and flashed the ARHD 20.0 rom because sprintzone makes me angry. It read that it is actually a GSM rom and I have a CDMA sim card so I won't be using that anymore.
Current predicament:
RELOCKED
S-ON
RECOVERY MODE fails with "failed to boot to recovery mode"
phone will not boot to system, just goes straight to bootloader. Download mode works.
I want to fix recovery mode but I can't do it because the bootloader is locked.
MAIN PROBLEM: fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin reports success, but the phone immediately reboots bootloader with RELOCKED, so I cannot flash any recovery image. I also cannot turn S-OFF because I cannot boot into system or gain access through recovery mode to install the sunshine app.
I have gathered that I need to flash an RUU image, but I can't do that because my MID and CID are not supported (according to other threads) and S-OFF.
I tried to install the RUU anyway with:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip 0PJAIMG.zip ##(sprint version)
but it threw: Invalid sparse file format at header magi fastboot: /libsparse/sparse.c:144: write_all_blocks: Assertion 'pad >= 0' failed. so no luck.
Is there another way I can restore manually from fastboot without an RUU? I couldn't find a system.img or bootloader.img or anything like that. Will it work if I go buy an external SD card and but the RUU on that? or maybe someone knows what is wrong with the unlock process.

Greetings and welcome to assist. Have you tried using sp flashtools instead to see if that works ? I think you may be better asking in the m9 forums here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/help
hopefully one of the experts has come across this before
Good Luck
