[Q] how to downgrade Desire S hboot 0.98.0002?

I recently bought a new Desire S which works great with me. I installed an update that upgraded my hboot from 0.98 to 0.98.0002. Now I need to s-off it using AlpharevX but it only supports 0.98. My question is: is there a way to downgrade it into 0.98? I followed another guide on the site that didn't help at all & didn't even provide the right rom. Any help

not sure but i think that u need to flash stock rom with 0.98.0000 then s-off ....maybe someone can provide hboot 0.98.0000 image

that's exactly what i've been hoping for. hope someone could do that

Extract it from a RUU or wait until I get home and upload it.

Please, I beg you upload it when you can. This would be a great favor for me. Just when excatly do will you return (so I would when to check as there is a big time difference here in Egypt ) Thanks in advance .

Here you go: http://www.mediafire.com/?tiuuiuoc70k3q0j
Remember ! I will not be responsible if you brick your phone. It worked for me though.
Good luck !

ok, thanks so much but I have a very silly question. How do I flash the .img? I know its a very silly one but I'm still a bit of a noob in Android

Reboot your phone into Bootloader and then choose Fastboot.
Open a cmd window, cd into your android sdk folder and then type:
fastboot flash hboot example.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
*replace example with the name of the img.

I did what you said but when I write "fastboot flash hboot saga_hboot_0.98.img" it displays:
{sending 'hboot' (1024 kb)...
OKAY [ 0.189s]
writing 'hboot'...
(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 0.339s}
any idea what might be causing the signature check error?

I suggest you to flash a RUU and then S-OFF it.
Better and safer.

ok, steps?

http://www.filefactory.com/file/ca1...0805U_38.03.02.11_M_release_177977_signed.exe
download this one and install. put ur phone on usb

u sure? i have a slow (but unlimited) net & what should i do after that, just run the installer & it will downgrade the hboot?

Exactly. It will replace everything: ROM, radio, hboot, etc.
L.E: Have you checked this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1078497 ?

actually, yes. I've tried the following but it didn't work. Every time I reach step 10 it finishes but doesn't change anything. And I have another question but its out of the topic, if I flash Virtuous Unity ROM, will games & apps recognize the device as HTC Desire S & be compatible or what?

Yes, your device will be recognized as Desire S.

Ohh, that's a great relief. Thank you so much for your help up till now. Hope it works out in the end. Sadly, I won't be able to continue the process today & I'll have to continue tomorrow. Don't worry, I'll immediately post the result when I wake up & finish the process (probably I'll wake up here at about 8:30 - 9:00) & the download takes 30 min. so I'll post the result at about 11:00 - 11:30 in Romania .

Ohh thank you so MUCH. It worked!! Luckily I backed up all my things first. The most important thing is, my hboot is now 0.98.0000! Thanks a million again .

Really glad it all worked out nicely. Have a nice time testing ROMs !

Yeah, got Cyanogenmod & Virtuous Unity but liked Virtuous more. Anyway, thanks so much for all your help . As for anyone that needs to downgrade his hboot, I suggest that he downloads this program & it will do all the work: http://www.filefactory.com/file/ca1f...977_signed.exe. Not my fault if it bricked your phone or if it didn't work but it worked for me. & note that it will erase every thing on the device so back up first.

I am stuck for 2 days Need help PLZ

Hi guys
I have really strange problem, could you please help me out.
I am was using insert coin rom 4.4.1 and every thing was good so far,
Then i have realized that i have s- off and rooted my phone but i didn't super cid it
So i want to do that, i have supercid it by following the steps listed in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300.
After i reboot the phone, it stayed in the flash screen (HTC screen)
I have reinstalled the rom and even other roms, but nothing was done.
I have tried to reflash it using firmwire 3.24 but samething.
FYI: i have already supercid it i have checked it by adb and it is 11111111
There is small problem, i didn't remember my proper cid, all i know it is a europe version of sensation.
i have this written in recovery session:
REVOLUTIONARY
pyramid PUT ship s off RL
boot 1.27.1110
Radio 11.21.3504.13.2
Open ADSP V02-6-0.2226.00.0104
EMMC-boot

Please help me i am lost here, DONT TELL ME THAT I HAVE DAMAGED THE PHONE!!
Thanks

Not sure if this will help
Hey I am not sure about your problem not heard of this. Maybe you need to super cid before flashing new firmware. Maybe if you can remember what your cid was before, you can change back and see if it makes any difference. maybe once returned to the stock cid you can revert firmware and then super cid. I am not sure though! I am just taking a stab at it since no one else has answered. here is a link with some firmware and it also tells stock cid's for different carriers/countries. Also maybe try flashing different firmware.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
maybe that will refresh your memory to what yours was.
Good Luck
P.S. I think that since you still have access to recovery you will be able to resolve the issue (not hard bricked yet), just need to figure out what the problem is exactly.

Given that you still have access to your SDcard, trying flashing a new rom and firmware (go for Virtuous Inquisition).

I have already tried other roms:
Android rev-hd 3-16-13: negative result
RCMix_ICS_v311_STbase: negative result
The problem is all roms stuck in the splash screen, i have looked in some threads that some people have 30 min for the first boot, for me i kept it for 1 hour or more but it seems that it is stuck, i have checked the temp it isn't hot so may be when i have supercid it , did i make something wrong to supercid it after installing the rom??

If you wanna use ARHD 3.6.13 you need to downgrade your firmware to 3.12 or 1.17 it won't run on 3.24
I would downgrade your firmware, go to a GB rom, get it so your phone boots, then go through the process of going back to ICS.

Last time when I had major issue with my phone, I flashed couple different firmwares and different ICS and GB ROM. And somehow it worked for me. I'm just saying there's always hope. Dont give up! And good luck!

flash the latest official eu RUU, if nothing works.
You can always s-off/root then afterwards.

Nothing, most do not use fastboot commands, so don't worry about it. You are still s-off and able to flash any rom you desire.

you need to STOP flashing random firmware...if you don't know what it is and what the outcome is going to be, do not flash it

I have downgraded my firmwire to 3.12 and i have used hd 3.16.13 GB rom.
The bad news is that nothing done yet, stucking in HTC splash screen.
But there is something i want to add, may be is the clue to this problem .
I have realized that when i remove my SD card from the phone and i want to read it in my PC, it appears protected each time and this is strange (virus effect).
may be my SD card was damaged and it is the only problem of stucking???
What do you think guys??

Perhaps you accidentally set some sort of sharing protection on the SD card, which doesn't let the phone access the adequate files? If so, try reformatting your card on fat32. And then copy back the firmware/rom and attempt flashing again.

i have already formatted the SD card, coping Rom and firmwire PG58IMG reflash the rom .
Still stuck in HTC S screen.
What about RUU?
Any suggestion ?

If your bootloader says LOCKED like you previously indicated then you can not use fastboot commands as kpjimmy already said. Because you never supercid your phone you probably have some partial firmware update.
If I were you I would flash an older RUU to get to a known stable config and then start over.

No i have changed the firmwire and it is written revolutionary in purple.

You have to remove the firmware from the card after flashing it. But to bypass it, does your phone boot once you flash the rom and then remove the sd card?

kpjimmy
when i updated the firmware hboot then the phone wrote push the power button to reboot, the problem is the phone will try to run the rom already installed in the phone, so i am forced to remove the battery and then remove the firmware from my PC.
in order to install the new rom.

[Q] Can some one please anwsered my question freakin out lol

ok i just got finished rooting my sensation 4g and everything geting it s-off and i was on my way to flashing a firmware but i think i may of messed up ive searched everwhere when i start my phone it dous HTC then dous the HTC and the little words underneith it then it restarts is my phone messed or is this something stupidly simple please help freaking out and oh btw i was flashing the firm where from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468683 i think the problem is i tryed to flash it in clock work mod recovery dunno if i was supose to do it there or not i tryed the how to fix radio bootloop but it didnt do anything should i try to flash to stock rom? im a noob but quick learner can some one help plz

Not to sound harsh but if you didn't read up on fixing issues should they occur then you should not have even attempted to flash anything.
It's starting to get really annoying having to constantly bail out n00bs who haven't a clue what they're doing. ALL the information is available to you so you have no excuses not to know what to do

i no im a big noob and a complete idiot ive flashed other phones but im new to the sensation any help would be appreciated

come on some one please i love this phone i just want a little help.... if its bricked tell me please some one help......

Dude, as the other guy said the information is out there and not even hard to find. But I'm in a good mood ....
Firstly, you don't flash firmware in recovery, you boot into bootloader. Secondly, once flashed you MUST delete it from your SD card. Otherwise your phone is going to go into a big fat boot loop. Thirdly, if you are flashing custom ROMs, make sure you read the first few posts of the dev's thread and understand what firmware you need to be running. Otherwise your phone is going to go into a big fat boot loop.
Do yourself a huge favour and make sure you read, read, read before you try anything else on your phone
Also, when creating a thread to ask a question, please give it a meaningful title. I thoroughly detest "Pleeeeeease help me LOL" thread titles and don't normally even view them.

Remember firmware can not be flashed using recovery.
You have to put it on the root of your sdcard and boot into bootloader.
Read this thread . Read very carefully before doing anything.

Ok to be very specific, answer me the following questions with very clear words.
A. Can you boot into bootloader??
To boot into bootloader do the following.
1. Power off your sensation.
2. Remove the battery.
3. Wait a minute.
4. Put the battery again.
5. Press Power + Volume Down key together.
6. The phone will boot into bootloader.
B. If you can boot into bootloader, then give us the full details of the screen message. If possible upload a photo of your bootloader screen.
C. What ROM did you tried to flash ???? Is it GB or ICS ??
D. What do you mean by "but it cant find the phone cause its stuck in the loop" . Even if you are in bootloop adb will be able to detect you phone .

yes i can get into bootloader and it says this

So you have actually flashed the firmware then. Have you then removed the firmware from your SD card? You MUST remove the firmware file from the SD card. Take the SD card out of the phone and use a card reader or another phone to do this. If you don't have anything else, there is a trick I've used.
Connect up the phone and open a command prompt. Type:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
If you get 'error: no device found' just hit the up arrow and enter. Keep doing this until you get no response on the command line. Then the phone will boot into recovery and you can 'toggle USB storage' from there and delete PG58IMG.zip using your computer.

yes i have deleted it then i restarted the phone and it still continuously loops the same thing over and over agian

Everything looks fine. Can you try someother ROM? Some users reported that firmware v3.24 didn't work but v3.12 worked fine. So I will suggest to try some other rom. If the problem persist then try v3.12 firmware.

Hi and welcome! First thing you need to do is find out your hboot version. Their are different proccedures for different hboots, thus the reasons for the many guides. Once you find your hboot then we can help finding a guide. Too find hboot you can power volume down at same time this will boot you into a menu, you will see the information you need written above menu. You can also access by pulling battery out, replace battery volume down power at the same time. You can read your hboot then also. Really hope this helps you out! Once you know hboot you can take it from their.
Or we can help find proper guide if you can not.

Then you can use the guide in my signature (SOFF and one click root). To first SOFF then root your device.. The guide is bit tricky
You can also go via htcdev unlock..

sensation xe official ICS wifi error
I was connected via Wi-fi to my home router and downloaded the new version of android 4.0.3, and after updating the phone and it turned on again i couldnt connect to the router.
I can tell that the Wi-fi device on the phone works just fine. Because i can find my router, and my neightbours. It aks me the password ofc. Then when i try to connect, at first it says connecting, then after about 2-4secs it says disconnected. When i look at the list of routers, it only says 'not in range', but that isn't the problem.
I would say its not a hardware problem, but somehow a software problem. Because it was running just fine before the update.
Any idea on how to fix the issue ?
Anyone experienced the same problem after updating the phone ?
Could it be a WiFi driver problem with the on the new version of android ?
Here is some info on the software on my phone :
Andriod Version 4.0.3
Htc Sense version 3.6

apparently its a bug in HTC
you need to search for updates again from phone (they released another update to fix this--around 15mb)
but as you didnt have wifi..you need to either use mobile network or internet pass through
if updating didnt solved the problem..try factory reset

wow signature check..that should not happen if you got htcdev unlocked bootloader
did your bootloader say *unlocked* ..if not get the bootloader unlocked (step 1) and then try flashing recovery again

Is there any other way I can unlock the bootloader...???????

the actual JB SOFF process ..was kinda difficult..you need to wire trick...that's the tricky one but fun part (some people struggled for hours to get wire trick done and some ppl did it in first try)
anyways if you can do unlock of bootloader i advise you to try that
try to open the web page in different browsers

I've done it and thanks to you, I'm finally rooted
Thanks to ganeshp
Now I'm on the lookout for ROM's.. Just a couple of quick questions..
1) Will I lose data and software each time that I flash my phone?
2) How do I check if I'm s-off or s-on?
3) Is there a ROM that you'd recommend?
Thanks

1. when completely changing the rom..you need to wipe your phone completely..so that will cause data loss..
(but the apps and contacts will be linked to your gmail account...so they can/will be added, you can backup your messages and call logs using an app (there are lot out there) , the only thing you lose is system data (wifi pairings,bluetooth pairings, the phone data usage etc etc) and data of the apps... i use titanium backup for saving data of apps and restore them once i change a rom)
Also remember ..you no need to wipe unless mentioned..when upgrading the same custom rom ..like going from 1.2 to 1.3 etc etc
2.to check for SOFF..you need to go to bootloader..and see
to go to bootloader ...uncheck fastboot in settings -> power
then power of your phone
then hold volume down and power together...you'll go to a white screen ..it
has all the details...post it here ..so that i can confirm you are soff
3.im currently using sense 4 ROM ..check my signature..almost all sense 4 roms ..here are pretty stable..except two bugs...wifi theter and hdmi out..i dont need them so ..im on sense 4 ...for sense 3.6 you can go for any ROM..as they are completely stable..no bug at all imho

Hi press volume down and power OR pull battery, put back in press volume down and power, this will take you to your menu where you can see if your soff or on. When flashing roms ALWAYS do a full back up of
Current rom, then use a app. Of your choice to backup applications. This way if something goes wrong during flashing you can restore recent rom and apps remember to please flash apporiate firmware before flashing your rom. Ics firmweare is usually 3.32. Gb firmweare is différent. If you ignore this step you will be headed for trouble. Follow thé guides to flashing with either s-on or off. Depending on which you are . There are à lot of great stable roms out there depending on YOUR personal prefrence. You can find a senceless rom with victorious inquisition, you can find sence 4 with béats with ordroid, you can find sence 3.6 with béats in many, ive uséd béats by Grogg. Its just à matter of personal taste, look at thé change logs, and screen shots and you can choose from there in development section. Its so wonderful to havé options
And wé have great developers that give us mamy options! Thank God for thèm! So i suggest looking over thé Roms and décide which suites your needs best! This is thé fun part! Good Luck to you. Happy flashing . i hope this helped answer your questions.

the phone´s original carrier is at&t so I bought the unlock code online, I turn the phone on and enter the 8 pin code and a messege apears saying that the phone whas seccesfully unlock from network and that the phone need´s to restart, but when the phone restarts it freezes in the htc white screen, I have to do a battery pull to restart the phone and when it boots its locked again
if I ignore the message and dont reboot the phone it does unlocked an I can reseive calls but the screen to enter the 8 pin number wont go away so a can't acces the phone, just to answer the incoming calls
if i turn the phone on with no sim card it wont letme acces the phone because it will ask me to enter the unlock patron
here is what i've done so far to try to fix it
factory reset for the hboot
it will freeze in the htc white screen, i have to do a baterry pull to reboot the phone and it boots up in the same conditions
installng the sock roms from att by ruu.exe way and sd car PD98IMG.zip file way
both ways it says seccesfully update roms but wen the phone boots in freezes in the htc white screen, I do the baterry pull and wen the phone boots its the same way it was
wipe data/factory reset from the android system recovery <3>
and the phone desplays this message
E:can't open /cache/recovery/command
--wiping data...

E:can't open /data/cwpkg.zip
E:can't open /data/cw.prop
E:can't open /cache/cwpkg

data wipe complite.
I reeboot the phone and it's the same
root with ahhk
I can't acces the phone to put it in usb debugging mode so I have to run the ruu.exe and then exit when it asks me to agree to the update, then a message aperas on the phone that it's on usb debugging mode, the I run the ahhk, but whe it gets to the part of INFOsignature it gives me an error

the phone reboots and it freezes on the htc white scree
i reed in the effen manual that this error was because the sd card was bad an it could no be used as a gold card, so I went and bought a new one and it keeps giving me the same error
manually downgrade and root (scotty85's guide)
I have to cheeat my phne into usb debbuging mode from the ruu.exe
I can get to step 5 with no errors but wen a paste the "fastboot getvar mainver" it doesnt show 1.31.405.3 it shows 2.47.502.7
and I cant continue the guide

c:\mini-adb_inspire>fastboot getvar mainver
mainver: 2.47.502.7
finished. total time: 0.001s

if anyone can help me out or has some other idea to fix my phone I would apreteate it
thanks in advance!!

Not being mean but you should have stopped when the phone unlock code didn't work and then asked for help. Whoever is selling those codes needs to be stopped because they don't work and just screws things up. Factory reset from hboot disables USB debugging. Also what ruu did you run? And what version of hboot do you have now? If you used the ruu for the new 3.20.502.52 it will make things even more difficult. The hack kit failed because your ROM version isn't correct so I am assuming its the newer version just released mentioned above, which doesn't work with the hack kit. Please repost what your hboot screen says now. If your hboot is still .0024 then we may be able to run the old 2.47.502.7 ruu which I have a copy of. It would need to be run from fast boot within hboot though.

Alright. Format your sd card and leave empty, then put back in phone. Put phone into hboot, select fast boot. Plug phone into PC and then run ruu from PC. If it doesn't get rid of your issue then its possible your emmc chip is going bad.

My guess is one of two things. Bad emmc which can be repaired but requires a new main board. Or a corrupted boot IMG which without s off can't be flashed. Maybe the person who sold it knew the emmc was bad.
