[Q] Needing help on HTC Inspire 4g AT&T - HTC Inspire 4G

Hello everyone,
I recently bought a simlocked HTC Inspire 4g AT&T in california hoping to be able to use it in France where I study.
So I thought that if I rooted the htc I would be able to un-simlock it thus being able to use French carriers.
I went threw all the process ( unlocking with htcdev, flashing a temporary recovery ) following this androidforums.com/desire-hd-all-things-root/702090-how-unlock-install-recovery-root-htcdev
Being new to this rooting/ custom ROM world I didn't know what the heck I was doing, so i put a CyanogenMod.zip into the microsd card and installed it using the recovery. However this made my phone stay stuck on the HTC splashscreen, and confused as i was i decided to do a factory reset. Now my HTC is stuck on the hboot menu.
Using google i searched a lot, I read many forums followed the dumbass guide and nothing seems to work. Here's the getvar:

Sorry for the long intro but I hope someone can help me get out of this problem.

Since you're not S-Off, you will need to fastboot flash the boot.img from the ROM zip each time you flash a new ROM. However, you have only unlocked the bootloader, which is separate from unlocking the SIM card. That needs to be done separately; the easiest way is to ask the carrier for an unlock code, but since it's secondhand, you may need to use another tool.

Hi,
Thanks man for responding! but sorry a couldn't reply fast I was busy with school.
So yeah I tried a couple things so first I got the ROM.exe file from HTC website then I extracted the rom.zip file from it. However flashing it using the fastboot flash zip PD98IMG.zip command in cmd tells that i'm "not allowed". Also if I put the same exact rom in the sd card then put it in the phone it'll ask me if I want to update, I select yes, then the first couple of steps it'll say for example "[1] Bootloader -Fail-PU". Then it gets stuck at the last steps. Any ideas?

Um...did you even read what I said?

Yes I did but sorry i missed spoke. I meant to say "fastboot flash boot boot.img". However as I said earlier I'm a newbie to this, so let me explain what I did...these are the steps i've done so far;
1. I put the extracted zip file from the RUU onto the sd card
2. I took the boot.img file from the zip and put it in the fastboot directory
3. From my laptop I entered the command line "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
4. In the cmd prompt it says" failed: not allowed"
Does this seem right to you? On a side note would making a goldcard help me solve my problem?

As long as you can go into bootloader your phone is not bricked and can be made to work properly so no worries.
Can you give more info please
Post all the details that's present in hboot
If you have adb/fastboot setup then put the phone in fastboot and connect it to your pc
And
Type this command
fastboot getvar all
Post all the output here except imei and serial number
Also please tell me what rom you installed lastly

ok you flashed the sense 4 rom through boot manager right....not dual boot right
did you have the rom zip file ?
is so ..extract the boot.img from the custom rom's zip file ( generally in kernels folder ..if it has more than 1 boot.img the choose the one of your choice)
keep the boot.img file in your adb folder (pc)
then go to fastboot on your device ..connect it to your pc
then on pc
type this
fastboot flash boot boot.img
then reboot
to reboot
fastboot reboot
chk it and see ..if this solves your problem

time to make a back up hahah
anything else i should do?
thank you guys so much i was just about to throw my "brick" through a window hahaha
Following your advice after "Bricking mine" i have managed to get further than before.
I can access Recovery, if i let it boot normally it comes up with Juopunutbea sreen.
However Recovery is unable to mount my SD card to do anything else and Juopunutbea wont find my device.
I am hoping i am able to recover it still?
I am currently unable to check the SD card but I am very worried and just seeking advice for reassurance.
In theory, if my SD card is now dead I should be able to use the recovery img i have on my C drive i have got from following a guide or the boot/recovery image from Juopunutbea folder?
I was slightly foolish when i was rooting it.
I completed the unlock and recovery successfully
But when rooting it with Juopunutbea it said to use the wire trick. I still had the back on! I was hoping i could take the back off to do so but ended up removing the USB cable, hoping for the best.
I fear my SD card is dead but my phone is still recoverable
(Apologies in advance if this is a complete noob question but as said i am very worried and looking for advice and reassurance)
Thanks

I note that I have not access to recovery and I could not flash it
HBOOT blocks when I try to flash it or do an update pg88img.zip from sd card
flash by fastboot also blocks
and when I try to do a factory reset it also blocks
Can somebody help me please ?

no commands are accepted in HBOOT and fastboot
You are trying to flash with fastboot commands from HBOOT screen, and have been unable or too lazy to figure it out by a simple Google search with the words you're reading as the command fails.
Open Youtube, look for a video of any HTC phone that shows how to flash using fastboot, do the same.
Learning to search before posting will save you days that you will spend waiting for answers.
that's what you think, I often flash htc to learn better android system and specially the htc
I typed all the errors I got on google and I still have not found the right solution
So if anyone can help me ...
Identify your hboot version fron your phone's screen.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda app-developers app
hboot: 0.98.0002
Thank's
Strange version. It's not eng HBOOT (eng is 0.98.2000), so fastboot won't work and isn't expected to.
Get into fastboot mode, and flash an RUU (run RUU.exe). Write down and post the error from the log.
when I try to install an RUU it gets stuck on "Trying to reboot in bootloader" and the phone remains locked until I removed the battery
thank you very much

Looks like xtcclip S-OFF. IMO there's no way to go back to S-ON.
Try to flash an ENG hboot like 2.00.2002 to be able to flash others parts like recovery or any partition.

Even though you start RUU in FASTBOOT screen?
In that case, I don't know if any help can be given. If it locks up upon any attempt to reboot it - something is deeply wrong with it.
And yes, looks like you're unlocked by XTC-clip, it's the only way to get SuperCID (cid=11111111). So no S-ON will be possible anyway. Try to use the warranty on this phone.

yes, I run the RUU in fastbootusb
For the rest I do sauraus tell you how he was flashed
For the warranty I think it is not possible, there is no service htc here, the phone was purchased in another country
You think that there is no solution or there is still hope?
thank you
You could try with the file attached. Rename it PG88IMG.zip, put it on the root of sdcard, reboot bootloader and hit power to accept the update. And ofc hope.
the phone does not want to turn on! and it's not mine!
Is there a way to recover it?!
thank you
P.S: I do not know if the battery has discharged completely, either because I took the battery while the phone was on the htc logo

If you have no led when charging, no vibration, nothing. You have probably fried your emmc chip while pulling out the battery. This is a known problem with the desire S and the worst case as you need to change the motherboard.
when I start charging the red light comes on, and when I remove the charger it stays always on
, but no vibration
Is there a solution to turn it on again?
thank you

Sensation not booting into android...radio missing ?

Hey guys,
Recently got a sensation, and i am stuck on the HTC screen.
I was able to get the bootloader unlocked, and installed CWM with no issues. I install roms, but after reboot, it just stays stuc at the white HTC screen.
For some reason, my phone has a unlocked bootloader, has S-ON and will not boot into ANYTHING besides the bootloader and CWM.
Ive tried many stock roms for it, with no luck !
I have also tried flashing boot.img and the PG185 file with ADB, which starts working, but for image i get a error that says FAILED - Remote signature verify failed.
So, how can i get S OFF ? And also i think my radio went MIA ! Here is the info :

Any help will be APPRECIATED !
You should use the tool at http://revolutionary.io to obtain S-OFF then flash a 3.33 firmware from the thread in the dev section. Then you can flash a ROM. The reason its not booting now is because ICS ROM's wont boot on GB firmware, hence the need to flash the 3.33 firmware

Do you have 4ext recovery? I was having the same problem even with s-off I couldn't boot any Rom but the one I had all I had to do was flash a kernel throughy recovery with smart flash eneabled after installing a Rom and also download superwipe and flash that before flashing a Rom I did all these steps to get a Rom booted up

Search the market for 4EXT
or search the dev section for 4EXT (I know for a fact that there is a thread in the dev section for it, its just a few pages in so use the search function)
Jonny,
I did see it on the market, but since its a APK, i cant download and use it.
How can i flash it through ADB ? as that is the only option i think i have. Even CWM is gone now, unless i flash that through ADB too...
Ok,
I have now gotten 4EXT to work on the phone. I am still S-ON and running 1.18 hboot. I tried to flash again through ADB with no luck. How can i obtain S-OFF without having a rom ? I even tried o install a GB Rom, and the same stuff happens, HTC white screen, then reboot.
I know i am a bit closer to success !

I have tried flashing PG58IMG through ADB, and i always get a signature error. I have spend countless hours trying to find the right one. What do you mean by ENG HBOOT ?
I tried to flash 1.17 and 1.27 with no luck
With s on when you flash you will also need to enable smart flash in your 4ext recovery.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
so,
Boot into RECOVRY
ENABLE 4EXT smart flash
install rom
reboot ?
I did that with no luck. On my 1.18 hboot i tried installing a stock ics rom, and also a GB rom
OP here this should perfectly work
1.relock the bootloader (fastboot oem lock)
2.get the GB ruu of tmobile US from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29181325&postcount=20
3.also flash the RUU as per told in the above post
4.once you got booted ..do soff via revolutionary
5.if revolutionary failed with zerg root error ..use kgs tool(sticky in android development section) and do soff again (he has tacoroot method)

Because you are S-ON you need to manually flash the boot.img from the rom your trying to flash by using the following command:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Also there is a guide around here about flashing ROM's with S-ON
---------- Post added at 02:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:15 AM ----------
Oh and Ive just seen the attachment - you still have GB firmware so you need to download the 3.33.401.6 ICS RUU from Football's Shipped ROM Collection thread in the dev section and install that because AFAIK you cant flash firmware manually whilst S-ON, it can only be done via an RUU

Oh and Ive just seen the attachment - you still have GB firmware so you need to download the 3.33.401.6 ICS RUU from Football's Shipped ROM Collection thread in the dev section and install that because AFAIK you cant flash firmware manually whilst S-ON, it can only be done via an RUU

Ok..
connect your phone in bootloader/fastboot to pc (the phone should read fastboot usb after this.. If it is showing
" hboot" then press power button once that would take you to "fastboot usb")
Once connected.. Open command window from your adb/fastboot folder
And type this
fastboot getvar all
Post the complete output of the above command.. Except imei and serial number
Then I can see your current situation and can help you further
(also FYI fastboot oem unlock won't work.. That's not the command to do unlock.. Check htc-dev site)

you cant run ICS roms as of now ..as your firmware is still old one ...i.e. of ginger bread one
so if you now wanted a bootlable phone ..find some GB rom ..and flash it as you did earlier (flash via recovery and then manually flashing boot.img)
if you want ICS rom ..then its tedious process for you
1.first you cant update firmware while Being SON (mark my words and ignore if anyone said to update to 3.32/3.33 firmware when they know you are SON)
2.first you need to soff... you need to relock the bootloader and then should try revolutionary
(unlocking is easy process ..just get the Unlock_code.bin to adb/fastboot folder and fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin)
3.if revolutionary failed with zerg root failed error ..(cant do root ..something error )... you need to unlock the bootloader again
flash the stock recovery...using this post
4.after having stock recovery .relock bootloader again and you need to try revolutionary with tacoroot ..which is automated in this tool
5.once you got SOFF flash the 3.33 universal firmware ...firmware link here
6.then flash a custom recovery (preferably 4EXT ) and then your custom ICS ROM
SLOVED
thanks to everybody. Now my sensation is alive again.

Please how do I update bootloader when am stuck. Is there something for me to flush...how do I flush when recovery isn't working for me. Am totally lost. Please help!
I used this RUU
RUU_Ace_Sence30_S_HTC_WWE_3.12.405.1_Radio_12.65.60.29.26.14.04.28_M_release_225512_signed.
Thanks for the reply friend. I appreciate it...
How did you phone end up in that state? You can only run a RUU that matches your phone's region. To run other RUUs, you need to make a goldcard. You run RUUs from fastboot, not recovery.

Am currently in Ghana, Africa....I already tried 6 different RUU...all ending in error130. Could you kindly help me with the link to my specific type of RUU. And u did also mention about my bootloader having to be updated.... To unlock it.

The RUU comes with a bootloader. If you use the newest RUU your bootloader will update as well. I don't know all the RUUs, but there's an index thread in the development forums with a link to a bunch of RUUs. If you cant find a matching one make a goldcard. There's a thread for that in General, I think. And it should match the phone region, not your current region. So it depends where the phone came from.

The bunch of RUUs is where I got that one from. Being the latest but I still end up with error 130. Wrong Rom. I read about making a gold card but I don't thing having the state my phone is now will allow me to do so because I can't access Usb debugging etc. Is there a way to check which RUU is specific to my phone? Using my bootloader information above?

Put your phone in fastboot mode, hook it up to the computer, find fastboot in the SDK in your computer, open a command line prompt, type "fastboot getvar all", paste it here, and make sure to delete the IMEI line. Also, how did your phone get in that state?

Wait, how long is it taking for your phone to get into bootloader? And which method did you use: the manual method, the retired AAHK, or the new AAHK2?

It doesn't take that long to get into bootloader. I thought of unlocking the bootloader before installing RUU which didn't work. I got an error on the step that involved token....I tried several time and still got that error. I read about that problem and thought its because of my Hboot version. U said ealier I needed to update my hboot.
I can't even turn on usb debugging or but the phone on charge default. If that was possible I could S-off and flash rom.
I can't use htcdev to unlock bootloader, I can't install RUU, I can't flash recovery because am S-on and am still stuck at white screen. I feel am losing this phone now...
1. You did not make or try to make a goldcard like I said.
2. You did not post the results of fastboot getvar all like I asked.
3. You cluttered up the forums with not one but two new threads instead of continuing in the one you already have.
Reported and giving up.

I apologized for that. I realized it was a mistake to do that. I didn't know how to make a gold card. I tried a software which warrant that the phone be put on usb debugging.

You do need a working device to create a goldcard. BTW, how did you end like this?

I got it in this state from a friend when he volunteered to S-off. Messed up the phone and he has no clue how to fix it.
Am S-on, can't install RUU...tried about 6 different RUUs always ending in Error 130 (wrong ID model). So am trying to create a gold card. But it seem as you said... I need a working phone. I got a working phone got the CID and Reverse CID but can't go paste it in the next step which involve opening up the website because the website seem to not to be working. Am left without how to obtain the IMG image to patch my card and use it to install the RUU rom.
What do I do from here?
