[Discussion] Rogers Post-911 Rooting

I wanted to bring this in here, as I found a way to enable fastboot to flash recovery!
Quick device info update:
HBOOT-1.33.0010
Radio-3.22.26.17
Ok, first put the phone into fastboot mode. Then execute the command:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Wait for it to reboot in RUU mode. Then, when I execute fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-dream-v1.6.2R.img, I get the following:
sending 'recovery' (4568 KB)... OKAY [ 1.721s]
writing 'recovery'... INFOsignature checking...
FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 3.036s
So, is there a signed recovery we can launch?

As an update, booting recovery:
downloading 'boot.img'... OKAY [ 1.647s]
booting...
hangs here

[Q] A little help required on unrooting

Hi everyone
i am trying to unroot my HTC Desire S and get it back to the original form. here's some info regarding he phone
AlphaRev
SAGA PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-6.98.1002
RADIO-38.03.02,15_M
eMMC-boot
endymion V3.3 is installed with sense 3.5
i have tried to get back to HBOOT-0.98.2000 using the PG88IMG.zip and the Android Flasher
but the android flasher shows this message and the HBOOT still remains the same (6.98.1002)
"sending 'hboot' (1024 KB)...

any help will be greatly appreciated

download suitable RUU and flash it...

Applying the RUU will still leave the hboot.
Are other ways to change your hboot, you can try fastboot yourself (although thats what flasher is using), you can also try a dd command in adb shell.
Make sure that command is right, easy way to brick your phone!!!!!!
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/backup.img (backup your current hboot)
dd if=/sdcard/hboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 (flashes new hboot)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And before you do anything, MAKE a goldcard, (mmc2) please, if people just made one as a safeguard they wouldn't have half the RUU problems they have.
Also make sure you you misc/main version is equal or lower than the RUU you will be flashing.
All this can be done by researching.

i just flashed a RUU rom in fastboot...hboot is still remains the same

Put phone into fastboot mode then run the RUU exe file again - should solve 155 error, if not then use fastboot oem getvar cid and flash a 3.32 firmware from the dev section that has your cid number in. out of curiosity what RUU are you trying to flash?

after this RUU_PYRAMID_LE_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.32.401.105_R2_Radio_11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M_release_253443_signed
the loop started.
can i ruu a GB file RUU_PYRAMID_LE_HTC_Europe_1.73.401.4_Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2_release_220036_signed

i didnt undestand how to select that firmware file, my cid is 11111111 and mid PG5811001, can you help me get it, my battery charge might run out, i tried just plugging it into power but it shows the light and starts to bootloop.
Anyway i need to s off but all the methods require to boot in to the system, is their anyway to s off while staying at the fastboot. thanks

Pull out the battery, then reinsert, hold volume down & poeer, then connect your phone to the pc and re run the ruu. The first time that you ran the ruu, it made a hboot pre update.
Run the same ruu that you ran last.

I'm tired of having to explain something that's so simple.

try to change your recover, download clockwork_rec_img
and in fastboot flash it like :
fastboot flash recovery your_recovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
now select recover, and you should get the clockwork mod recov, and do the flash from zip stuffs,
also if im right from fastboot
u need to do fastboot update rom.zip, to update a rom, but it needs to be signed
oh u can download the recovery image in droid recovery manager, i did not used it to flash tho, just to dload

Don't wary dud we will try all .
First download costom recovery and old stock rooted Rom better 2.3.3 with unsecured boot.img
Extrect costom recovery and rename
.img file to recovery.img
1. Downloaded custom recovery (ext4) put it in adb tool folder.
2. Put your sensation in fastboot connect usb.
3. Open cmd on pc form adb tool folder
4. Type "fastboot devices" is your connected or not if yes. Then
5. Type "fastboot flash recovery.img"
"fastboot reboot-bootloader"
Now go to recovery it will work.
If get that than contact me for next to get s-off "[email protected]"

[Q] JB boot freeze

I’ve tried two JB roms, Jellytime and CM10 by nk111, but both are freezing at the white HTC screen. Yes, I’m htc unlocked, and I’ve flashed the boot.img both before and after flashing the rom, formatted partitions etc, all without success. I originally posted this in the Jellytime forum as I thought it might be a rom issue but now it seems like a JB issue, particularly as I’ve since flashed Primo ICS rom, then the boot, and everything is as it should be.
It’s as if the JB boot flash isn’t ‘sticking’, yet the Primo boot flashes okay which is confirmed by the kernel description in settings. If it matters, I'm coming from Fallout with amidabuddha’s latest kernel, hboot is 2.02.0002.
Hope someone can help out as I’m itching to try JB..

it's possible you have a none Sony panel, try using the 82n kernel with cm10
sent from the thing I stab with my finger when I get two minutes

I think you may be right - the dmesg is 'saga panel unblank' - but how to flash the 82n from goo.im? I understand that the kernel zip needs to be flashed in recovery to update the modules, but it contains a zImage rather than a boot.img to fastboot flash.

frozen on bootscreen
Hi Guys,
after unlocking my Desire S (S-ON) and flashing CM 10.1, i am stuck on the white screen with the green htc logo.
This was first time i ever done this on my desire s. I also send the boot.img to the device (see below) via Windows 8 and it said it worked properly:

Your hboot is still locked.. Until that status is changed you can't use fastboot commands..
Flash juopunutbear hboot or revolutionary hboot
Check firmware thread by kohr-ah in sensation development section... There is a patched hboot zip there (at the end I think).. First flash that and then continue the rest
