locked 2.02 bootloader with s-on and unable to flash ruu - HTC Desire S

So i am stuck with a locked bootloader with s-on and unable to install any ruu. Every time i tried to restore my phone with a ruu it would give me a 132 signature error. Is my phone truly bricked or is there a way to restore it. I also tried the PG88IMG.zip on the root of a goldcard but it wouldn't work. It would check the PG88IMG and then continue with going into the bootloader.

U need to find the exact ruu for ur phone, region, brand etc. Ur goldcard obviously wasnt made right or didnt work (sometimes happens) so either find exact ruu or try a dif sdcard to make a goldcard.

i tried another goldcard and it still gave me a 132 signature error. I don't think it's a goldcard error since if it was it would be a signature verification error if there was no goldcard on the phone. I'm just wondering if there is anyway to recover my phone if the only thing i have access to is hboot with s-on, locked, and fastboot.

could just be a bad download. what ruu are ya trying to flash?

I was trying to install the ics update ruu and i'm pretty sure it's the only ruu that works now since my phone is recognized as being on the same version as the ics update. i cannot downgrade since downgrading requires adb and i don't have access to that.

CID error after flash generic rom, stuck in boot loader

Right, had desire s from three, alpharevx'd it installed clockwork mod, flashed eng hboot. Tried to flash RUU 1.47 europe on it, and it started to work and go through process, updated radio fine, then came up with CID error. No option to do anything but exit. Now I have a desire s that will boot into Bootloader, which has now s-on'd itself and upgraded to 0.98.0002.
Only method of comms seems to be via fastboot.
Now i cant flash the h3g one cos its too low a bootloader version, and i cant upgrade to a newer version cos one don't exist. Can anyone come up with a solution please??
Cheers.
What does HBOOT screen say (in full)?
Are you still able to get into recovery? If yes, then have you tried loading a custom ROM onto the SD card and simply flashing that using the flash zip from sd card option of CWM (clock work mod)?
Unfortunately I am unable to get into recovery, only bootloader, nothing else works. Hboot is displaying a security error at the top highlighted in pink, followed by the version number as described
You should have stuck with the alpharev hboot, which does not allow itself to be overwritten by RUU installs.
Anyway, you need to:
- install hboot 0.980000 (so you can run alpharevx again and get S-OFF)
- run alpharevx and reinstall CWM at the end
- DO NOT install the eng hboot
- flash whatever rom whichever way you want. Your hboot is safe
Follow the instructions on:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1187231
How can I run alpharevx when I can only boot into bootloader tho?
Try running it while in bootloader. Never tryed it that way, but I'm pretty sure it only needs the USB comms to be up, same as adb. Which they should be anyway in bootloader...
Have you tried to re-setup your phone by executing one of the RUU.exe?
k, as i expected, with no access to adb in bootloader mode, i am unable to do anything. Remember, i only have bootloader to work from. I don't eve3n have a recovery partition installed, it just comes back to bootloader whatever i choose, well, bootloader and fastboot anyway.
yup, tried running the ruu again but to no avail. Just get cid error. And i can't make a goldcard either cos i cant get the code. Might just send it back i think and act dumb :/
What about using the "normal" upadte procedure? Placing the PG88(whatever).zip on the root of the sdcard, and have the bootloader install it?
Of courtse with S-ON, it must be a signed version...
If all else fails s-off with xtc clip then flash custom rom

Have you tried to use the original RUU for your phone/network? I'm not sure if it would take care of the CID error.

I do not expect this to work, but you said you are able to get into recovery, correct?
Well, I would try to enter fastboot mode and try to flash cwm via fastboot -> fastboot flash recovery XXXXXXXX.img
Correct (windows) drivers installed?

Good suggestion! Try this one first.
The problem with trying my original ruu for my network is that it contains the lower hboot version, when i flashed the generic ruu earlier, it actually started the update and flashed the radio part, then informed me the cid error, of course, by this time it had updated the hboot too. So now i have a desire s with an upgraded hboot so i can't flash a new one because of cid error and i can;t go back cos it reports a hboot version error. Where do i look on the system for the p88ing.zip now? can't remember now!
I haven't run a RUU in years, but I think that when you run it on a windows machine, it extracts a bunch of files to a directory. Cancel the process, find the directory, find th PG88... in the directory... You get the drift.

It is not relevant which network you are using !!! Just try newest RUU to get control over your phone again in the first place!
Even if you don't get any network access after setup newest RUU you will definitely be abte to execute alpharevx again, flash cwm and flash any stuff you want to.
just tried flashing via fastboot, got a remote bootloader signature fail response (recovery)

I guess that means you tried flashing recovery via fastboot?
Then concentrate on our RUU-suggestions.
Yes, as i said, flashed via fastboot, and i already explained that i cant up/down grade via ruu method because of bootloader version. I can't think of a way out of this as it stands. The only thing that may work is doing it via the p88img method with my original 3uk rom, but i cant find it in my temp files, searched everywhere for it. I've seen it's location posted on here before now, and i've searched it to death and can't seem to find it now
I'm going to extract and upload your 3GUK-PG88*.img although I think you'll need an newer one. Just a few minutes of patience.

[Question] How do i get Back to Stock?

Hi Guys
I have tried to upgrade my phone to the 2.10 image, but it gave me a 170 error.
So I S-off ed the phone and tried to apply the 2.10 rru, but did not over-write the hboot, so gave me a blank screen.
I immediately applied the 1.47 rru, but still Alpharev hboot. Custom recovery is gone at this point and the ENG-Hboot 0.98.0.0 will not flash over the alpharev hboot in fastboot.
I know there are threads already about this, but non of them give a specific solution, so could I:
re S-off the phone and install Clockwork mod, then flash the eng hoot through CMW, then flash the 2.10 rru over that?

You should learn to read what the error is saying first:
ERROR [170]: USB CONNECTION ERROR
This error message will appear when the Android phone is not correctly connected to the host PC. It might be a USB connection problem or a PC USB driver problem. Make sure the Android phone is connected to the host PC correctly and/or check if the PC driver matches the Android phone.

6. Q: If I encounter ERROR [170]: USB CONNECTION ERROR, what should I do?A: You can reset the Android phone and run the RUU again. If the problem persists, reset your PC and try again.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
These are found on the GUIDE of the RUU.
You should try to reinstall HTC Sync or the HTC Naked Drivers.
Use Android Flasher to change your HBOOT first to ENG S-OFF, either the old or the leaked new one.
Then change your recovery from there.
Flash roms appropriately.
you should be able to do all of this if you still have the revo hboot.
Sorry it was a Cust error. was a TMO branded phone, but S-off and RUU 1.47 unbranded it.
Android Flasher still saying hboot bypassed when flashing the 0.98.00.00 S-off ENG-Hboot.
Can you think of anything else to try yo remove the Revo hboot?

Sorry to reply so late.
Previously, my phone was eng s-off and got super cid.
After i flash ICS firmware, bootloader was then locked.
After that i did some stupid things, the bootloader turned into "locked", "security warning" and s-on. I succeeded to unlock bootloader by htcdev and get rid of "security warning", at that time i can boot into recovery normally and wipe or flash roms. But it just can't boot into system. I tried fastboot commands to flash but failed just because "it is not allowed in the remote devices".
i tried PG58IMG files but the bootloader shows no image or wrong image.
Can you give me some advice? Thank you very much

My phone had been rooted and end s-off before things happened.
i flash IMG.zip to try to flash a rom( Somebody post that ICS rom can be flash by IMG.zip) or fix the bootloader problem. It's almost the only way to flash a rom for me
I checked the cid and it is still 11111111(Got super cid before) although bootloader is s-on.
Now the state of the bootloader is
1, unlocked
2,s-on
3,cid is 11111111
4,can boot into recovery
5,can't install PG58IMG.zip
6,fastboot command can't write anyting
7,if flash some rom, phone will be stuck at the splash screen which seems splash partition is writable
Thank you!

i don't know how to do either, but during solving my problem, i found something may be useful. If you want to unlock bootloader you can try htcdev. This can't s-off but just unlock bootloader.
And since your hboot is 1.20, you can try the zip file attached by this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20681060&postcount=22.
Because my hboot is 1.23 and isn't supported according to the above link, i didn't know whether it will help or not. You can take it into consideration
Hope you can solve your problem
ok find hboot 1.17 PD58IMG.zip, your truly not s-on, format your sdcard, then place the img in sdcard, and boot into bootloader, and you should be able run fastboot commands, you should still have custom recovery right?

I format the sdcard in fat32 format and place img that revert to hboot 1.17 in sdcard. Reboot into bootloader, but it shows "no image or wrong image".
I also try fastboot command but i don't know the command format. Would you give me an example please? Just a fastboot command to install img no matter s-on or s-off. Such as "fastboot flash hboot hboot.img".
My device is now s-on.

[Q] stuck on splash-screen

Hey guys
I've got a bit of a situation. A friend of mine gave me this sensation (carrier T-mobiel) wich was all but bricked. Since I have some experience rooting and flashing custom ROMs, he asked me to give it a try at reviving it.
The owner had been messing around a bit himself and he managed to install clockwordmod recovery. Don't know if he installed any ROM, the device gets stuck on splashscreen.
I did the following; full format, superwipe and install a ARHD ROM. result was te same; stuck on splash-screen.
Then I did another full format, wipe and installed Cyanogenmod, still the same result.
I wanted to try and install 4EXT touch recovery, but the device doesn't respond to any USB connection method so ADB won't work. there's no working ROM so installing through the app won't go either. basicly, I don't know if there's a way to uninstall and install a recovery through flashing.
I have another phone to use to store required files on a SDcard.
these are the things dat DO work:
Bootloader, fastboot and clockworkmod recovery v5.8.0.9
this is the device's bootloader information
UNLOCKED
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.18.0000
RADIO-10.14.9035.01_M
Aug 2 2011, 22:35:52
my guess is that I'm trying to install ROM's that don't work with the current firmware. I don't know if the owner installed the OTA ICS before he got these problems. But I don't know what firmware is currently on this this device, and how to check it.

Hi,
2 things you can try.
1.Run a GingerBread RUU.
Look HERE
2.If that works,try s-off.
Look HERE
Then,you could change firmwares and do whatever you like.
Hi Malybru,
I understand what you suggested and I'm currently working on it. Only I can't find the right RUU for this phone.
Current CID is: T-MOB003
getting it superCID'd was no go since I can't get it S-OFF with the revolutionary utility. is there another way to S-OFF the phone besides revolutionary?
edit: I downloaded and executed a RUU that apearantly wasn't compatible with the phone. I'm guessing it removed whatever ROM was installed, but didn't install the ROM from the RUU.
I also followed step 3; RUU to restore stock up to the part of relocking the bootloader. I didn't come any further cause I can't find the right RUU.
the phone now only boots into bootloader with "security warning" displayed below "relocked".
I'm guessing, if I find the correct RUU with gingerbread, things will be okay again.
on a sidenote, does a RUU install also returns the recovery to stock?

Hi,
RUU does not matter too much as long as it is Europe and GB.
If you can find a dutch tmo ,then even better.
No harm will come if it is the wrong one.
It will only throw up an error.
This will at least get a ROM on your phone,so that you can s-off .
Revolutionary is the easiest way to s-off.
so, to summarize:
the RUU has to be TMO for either UK or EU. Does the radio need to match the one that's currently displayed in the bootloader?

Hi,
The closer the match,the more chance of success.
But close will do.
Yes,with the same radio.
finding a dutch RUU with this radio for TMO is pretty challenging. So I tried it with a german version (DE). Other then that it matches the radio, and the carrier.
the first method through the RUU.exe failed, it tells me to get the right RUU for my carrier/phone.
So I tried it through flashing with a SDcard. I changed the CID in the notepad file in the PG58IMG.zip to T-MOB003. In bootloader, it checks the file twice and after that nothing happens, the regular bootloader screen is prompted.
Then I tried to flash it through fastboot CMD command, pretty much my last option according to the guid you linked me. This also fails with the notification that it failed to verify 12 signatures.
now I found some universal firmware packages but they don't seem to contain any ROM and recovery, only firmware. are there any of these universal packages as complete RUU?
or is there a way to bypass the signature check with a fastboot command?

Hi,
Try the European RUU with the 10.14 radio that matches yours.
Add your CID in the PG58IMG text file.
Make sure you have the phone in fastboot when you attach your USB cable(it should say "fastboot USB"),and start running the RUU from your PC.
http://db.tt/A7lS7PaD
Here is a link to 4ext touch recovery as a IMG. http://db.tt/KFKpcrhB and here is a pg58img.zip. put the zip file onto the sdcard and boot to boot loader. It will hopefully flash the recovery. If not fast boot flash the IMG. Once you have the recovery installed enable smart flash and then flash the roms. Hopefully that will work for you

tnx for the files.
I tried the suggestions you made but flash from sdcard doesn't work; it checks the file once and doesn't do anything after it.
when I try to flash either one of the files through fastboot I get signature verification fail.
my bootloader says RELOCKED, I got that after following step 3.1 in the RUU flash guide to return to stock. I don't know if this is blocking anything from being flashed with the nasty signature notifications?
also, most like because nothing is installed on my device, when I plug in the USB cable when it's turned off, it automatically swithces on displaying SECURITY WARNING below RELOCKED.
Damn, wasn't fast enough. I'm not sure what the best way to approach this is. Either attempt to full s-off the device with revolutionary/ jupuntobear, or re-unlock your boot loader with htcdev, then fastboot flash the recovery. Then install the rom. Then run jupuntobear to full s-off
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium
heavy_metal_man said the right thing. First focus on unlocking it on hTCdev.com and afterwards, flash a 4Ext Recovery to make things easyer. Then put the device in bootmenu (not in the Graphic shell) and attach a USB, start any Official European RUU that is Gingerbread - with 1.50 in the numbers.
an update
I managed to get it unlocked again with htcdev.com. After that I flashed 4EXT recovery, succesfully.
only thing now I need to do is installing a ROM. I tried the following without succes so far:
with RUU
I can't find a dutch RUU for TMO with radio 10.14.9035 anywhere so I tried the closest match possible, a german one. through the .exe method I get incompatibility errors. So I extracted the ROM/.zip, added my CID and tried with SDcard flash and fastboot flash, both unsuccesfull. Hboot checks the file twice and does nothing afterwards, and fasboot prompts the message "FAILED (remote ** unknown fail)"
Universal firmware package to make sure I'm on 3.32, so I can install ARHD 6.7.2 or any other ICS rom
I took one from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21711154#post21711154.
I get the same errors as when I was trying to flash the ROM.zip from the RUU, both with sdcard flash and fastboot flash.
a random Gingerbread ROM
I found this GB ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1226564.
I installed it through EXT4. after a reboot it's stuck in a bootloop. No splash screen is shown however, it get's to the withe-field-green-HTC-screen and reboots after, showing the same.
I don't understand what's wrong. I got a good recovery now and the bootloader is unlocked. For some reason the ROM's I tried are incompatible with the current state of the device and I can't figure out why. are dutch T-mobile branded phones so tough to crack or what?
also, after a certain step wich I can't remember, my bootloader doesn't display a radio anymore.
Current bootloader:
UNLOCKED
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.18.0000
eMMC-boot
Aug 2 2011,22:35:52
EDIT: I would be less restricted in my actions if the damn thing were to be S-OFF. is there any way to get get S-OFF through bootloader/fastboot? All the S-OFF methods and utillities I found so far need the device to have a ROM running.
SOLVED
with help of KGS1992, I managed to restore the device.
- installed a stock GB ROM since I was on hboot 1.18, and to get root acces
- aquired root through adb
- gained S-off with revolutionary
reason why I couldn't manage this before is because I didn't have a genuin stock ROM.
tnx all for the help

Need help installing RUU, S-off, hboot 2.16

Hi all,
I installed MaximusHD ROM and messed up my partitions so now I have only 2 GB available. I want to fix it by going back to stock ROM.
Currently my phone is superCID, s-off, hboot 2.16, radio 1.20.
From what I've read I should be able to install any RUU but I have not been able to. I tried to do it in fastboot mode and in normal mode when Android is on but without success. Setup starts but some unknown error appears, I think it is error 105... or 150.
I've followed some guides here but the setup won't work because of the unknown error Do I have to look for a specific RUU ?
The only thing that I have not done is to lock my bootloader prior to installing the RUU. However the guides state that I do not have to lock it if my phone is S-OFF.
If I do fastboot getvar all next to "version main" I see nothing, it is empty.
Please help!
I changed my CID to HTC__001 but this did not help Please help me to get back to stock !

I had similar issue what I ended up doing was pulling the recovery image out of the install package and flashing it via fastboot and it restored my sd storage I had to use the modified recovery supplied I would try that- I believe you could change your cid to whatever RUU your trying to flash and it should work also,its seems some have downgraded to hboot 2.1.5 to flash RUU (read,read,read)best of luck
Somehow I fixed my problem yesterday. I was not able to install RUU however I was able to change my hboot back to 1.04 ... afterwards I installed the latest version of TWRP and suddenly I was able to see stuff on my internal memory. Prior to that TWRP 2.3.x.x was not able to detect my whole internal memory. Anyway... my advice to people is not to install MaximusHD via CWM although it says that it works. It does work, but it is easier with TWRP
