[Q] Please help. Stuck in Bootloop!

Hi there.
Bootloader details are
***Unlocked***
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT- 1.27.0000
eMMC- boot
Jan 13 2012, 17:33:34
I'm trying run a RUU which I downloaded and have had an
'ERROR [155]: UNKNOWN ERROR
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your android phone.
Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.
The error may be because my bootloader is unlocked? But when I try to re-lock it it shows the "security warning" below "re-locked"
and then the RUU gives me ERROR [140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR
The RUU I'm trying to use is called RUU_Pyramid_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.35.707.1_Radio_10.43a.9 007.00U_10.51.9007.27_M3_release_198358_signed
Please help! I've been trying to Install MIUI all day and it is turning into a nightmare.. I don't want to lose this phone D:

Thanks for the reply.
I figured this would be hard as I've tried alot already..
I read somewhere there was a way to get soff involving connecting a wire somewhere and it can be risky. Can you affirm this is the best bet to recover my device?
By the way when relocked bootloader gives me these details..
Radio-11.23.3504.07_M2
OpenADSP-v02.6.0.2226.00.0131
Using ADB CMD I discovered the Android Image is version: 3.32.707.1
I hope someone can give my a clue as to what my best bet is here.. at this point I just want a usable phone again.

There's a new unlock out there but I never used it unlocked 3 at hboot 1.18 sorry

the RUU you are using wont run...because you are s-on...right now based on your HBOOT ...you might have 3.32 firmware....and the RUU you are using has 1.35 firmware (see after WWE_<this is firmware> in the RUU name)...
that's why you are getting that bootloader error..
the best solution for your case is to use ICS RUU..
to get that i need your cid
steps to get cid
1.keep the phone in fastboot and connect it to pc (phone reads "fastboot usb")
2.go to your adb/fastboot folder and type
"fastboot getvar all" without quotes
and post all the results...except serial number and imei
I'll find you the correct RUU for you..which might/will avoid bootloop..after you gave me those details

Okay, I ran the command. Here is what I have.
C:\AndroidSDK\tools>fastboot getvar all

You might want to know that since trying that RUU I have also tried one called
RUU_PYRAMID_LE_ICS_35_S_hTC_Asia_TW_3.32.709.108_R1_Radio_11.69A.3504.00U_11.23.3504.07_M2_release_251682_signed
It gave me ERROR [156]:IMAGE ERROR
Thanks for your help

please edit your post by removing,,,the serial number and imei present in the list
also the other RUU...wont run because the cid's are not matching...and there is No ICS RUU ...yet in your case...
so the choice left is ...to run a custom rom ?
fine with you ?
this the guide ...you need to follow to get ARHD custom rom
guide to flash roms with S-oN
please follow this guide step by step...and you'll have a custom ROM by end of it
.That guide is wriiten by a friend of mine ...and i helped him to make it pretty noob-free...follow that guide and let me know ..if you got any problem

So u know there's a kinda beta s-off but I would wait if it was me your call

THANKS!!!
Through following your friends/your guide I was able to flash rom
rmk-pyramid-stock_ics_3.32.401.3-v1
I really don't understand why I couldn't do this before when I was using clockworkmod recovery... Although it may have been because I didn't flash the appropriate Boot.img..?
So from what I've read, being S-on on FW3.32 I cannot flash roms that aren't 3.32 as well, would that be correct?
I don't understand how I'm supposed to know which are 3.32 or not..
I really want MIUI still.
Perhaps you could provide link to the MIUI rom which is 3.32..? would it be the latest?
kind regards and thanks for you help and time

Hi,
So, what version-main do you have?
If you are s-on ,it is much harder to match up the RUU,version-main, and cid.
They all have to match,or else the RUU will not work.
Can you do :
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main

I notice the version-main is no longer there. It shows up the first time I run the RUU, but after it failed, the version-main is gone.
So right now I'm confused, where exactly is the RUU for my CID? I upgraded this device using OTA, is that why there is no apparent RUU for my CID. How about factory images (the one they used for brand new Sensation), surely HTC have RUU for the base factory images, no?

Hi,
Firstly ,please remove your serial number and imei number.
You have a ICS/JB firmware, so a 1.35 RUU which is meant for GB , will not work.
I am not sure why your version main would disappear.
What happens when you boot up your phone?
Do you still have the update?Can you run it?
Is you phone a Sensation, or the XE version?

Hi yes my device is normal Sensation, honestly I don't know why my version-main would disappear. But at least after digging deeper for a while I finally manage to flash CM 9.1.0 into my device, so at least it's now usable.

Woops, thanks, I removed them, sorry I kind of in a panic, didn't realize I just copy-pasted all of it

So this is the whole story, and what I know... hope this would help...
EDIT: I have HBOOT 1.27 (UNLOCKED) and S-ON
First, It started out with 4.0.3 (ICS) device that came from OTA (this was previously my wife's and I didn't touch it with custom rom, etc), when I received it. So the first think I do is do HTCDev unlock, it went smoothly, I installed TWRP (my favourite, but it seems I make a mistake here), it installed SuperSU, and I got root.
After that, I want to try custom ROM because I really dislike how slugish Sense is (I tried to like it, disable bunch of apps, but coming from Nexus, it's just doesn't feel right). So with my previous phones, I always have the original factory image(s) for fallback just incase I screw up . So after searching for a while, the only one RUU that I found that most likely work with my device is the 1.35.707 RUU (I didn't realize it was for GB).
Feeling safe after I got it, I went ahead and flash Albinoman's CM 10.2 using TWRP, and it stuck in a bootloop spectacularly . At this point everything is still normal, in terms of version-main, etc. So I think what the hell, let's flash RUU. So I tried it, put the device in fastboot, relocked, fireup RUU, at first it works, detect all the version, then it failed with 155 UNKNOWN ERROR after "updating signature" step, every single time (I tried couple of times). The version-main started missing after the first flash, the 2nd flash there is no
version: x.xxx.xxx to version x.xx.xx
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
just
From version: <blank> to version x.xx.xx

Click to collapse
Now I remember in the past, updating my sister in-law's Rhyme, this also happen, but somehow, it succeeded in updating the device anyway. So I didn't think too much of it.
So, after hitting the wall for a while, I looked up why people love 4ext so much for HTC devices, turn out there is this SmartFlash thing and how flashing boot.img is tricky. Well I switch to 4ext 1.0.0.5 and flash CM 9.1.0 (just want to be safe, so I didn't flash Albinoman again). And what do you know, it works .
So that is my story so far. I just want to know is there any ICS RUU to fallback to stock for my Device or do I have to SuperCID to get it from other Device. or Maybe I have to downgrade firmware, install GB RUU and then update through OTA (or maybe I have to search for the OTA also).

in order to downgrade you have to S-OFF and supercid
then you can use the gb RUU which also downgrades firmware and hboot version
after that just do the official update
about OTA it could be a possibility to use it but you must have stock recovery
edit:i just saw your edit.you are already in ics firmware

[Q]

Hi
begining statues of my phone:
my phone is one xl(evita) and relock , s-on then read more!
i did change cid of HTC__J15 to CW___001 and then s-on and relock the bootloader but now i can't unlock retry...!!
the old carrier was GCC but then relock is at&t !
please help me...
tnx

Why did you change it to the at&t CID? The at&t CID is blocked by htcdev. You need to go through the hassle of getting SuperCID so you can unlock your bootloader now. Plus, there's no advantage to having the at&t CID because you can't install any firmware from the standard Evita onto your middle eastern variant. This is a great example of why you shouldn't do anything when you don't know what you're doing. All of the information I've just given you is readily available in our forum hag you done some research. Anyway, what are your bootloader details?

You can't do anything. You've gotten the phone to a point where it's impossible for you to unlock it now. You can't change the CID again because you're s-on. You can't use the usual way to get SuperCID because you don't have the 3.18 version installed. Why in the world did you do what you did?

now can i install RUU from at&t brand for upgrade frimware & then super cid?

I don't know if it's safe. I've seen at least one person brick their phone by installing firmware from the standard Evita onto the middle eastern variant.
Sent from my Evita

What should I do now?
I want to unlock...
please help me

Well first I'd edit out the imei from the post about your bootloader settings..
Like timmaaa said, you're at a point where you have very little options. You could try XPwn or RUU but it's a huge risk. See, this is why you read...so you don't do things like this...

[Resolved] Problems updating X920d Android 4.3 version 3.15.707.4 from 2.33.707.3

Resolved!
Apparently it was due to the fact that I installed Xposed Framework that causes the update process to fail.
I try to manually update the OTA.zip via stock recovery and found out that the process stopped at
"assert failed apply_patch_check( /system/bin/app_process."
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Further checks showed that Xposed replaced the app_process file and causes it to fail checksum. I then copied /system/bin/app_process.orig back to /system/bin/app_process.
After that, the update was a breeze. The recovery used was from 3.15.707.4 (extracted from OTA.zip).
I've also S-OFF and Super-CID during my testing process.
If your update process stops after 25%, usually some checksum error has happened. Use manual update to determine the error message.

I'm having a problem updating my Butterfly to Android 4.3 from 4.2.2
My current firmware is 2.33.707.3 and the upgrade version is 3.15.707.4.
On my current phone, I have unlock my bootloader, flash recovery to TWRP 2.6.3.0 as well as rooted it. Due to inexperience, I did not backup my original recovery.
As per gleamed from this forum, I've tried to flash recovery from other stock ROM to proceed with the OTA update.
Steps taken:
Clicked Install now on the OTA message
Phone reboots to recovery
Phone icon with Green exclamation mark appears
Bottom part blue progress bar appears
Upon 30 to 40% progress, the screen changes to Red exclamation mark and update is stopped.
Edit: Did a Factory reset, problem remains.
I've tried the following recovery from other stock ROM without success.
Recovery from 3.15.707.4 (extracted OTA zip in phone's Download folder)
Recovery from 1.19.707.1 (extracted from DLXB1_U_JB_45_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.19.707.1_V0.0)
Recovery from 2.28.709.2 (extracted from OTA_DLXB1_U_JB_50_S_hTC_Asia_TW_2.28.709.2-1.18.709.3)
Recovery from 1.12.707.1
Recovery from 2.33 (from @Bassie39's OTA collection)
Recovery from 2.28.709.3
I've searched high and low for stock Recovery from 2.33.707.3 but unable to locate it.
Any tips or suggestion apart from S-OFF and update firmware, PL99img.zip update via bootloader, look in the OTA collection?

@bluheart, How do I go from S-OFF to update my OTA? Is Rumrunner better?

Any help or advice would be very appreciated.

Firewater or Rumrunner are equally effective.
I liked Firewater as its very simple to use.

What's the next step after having S-Off?

Super cid

After supercid flash the TW (Taiwan) firmware not the WWE (World Wide Edition) so that you get faster updates as this is a Taiwanese company. WWE gets updates a lot later (2-4 months later) so think about that.

Yes, This means I have to change the CID to HTC__621? But would this affect my Carrier settings?

No, I have done this with my old Butterfly without any bad effects or signal problems.

Firewater or Rumrunner are equally effective.

Firewater didn't work. Instead I used Rumrunner.

Hope things worked out, and also I hope you took my advice and switched to Taiwan RUU.
You don't have to change CID if you are supercid which is 11111 something like that, you can install any RUU.

I'm trying to find a way to install the Taiwanese RUU on my phone. Looking around this forum but some of the instructions are contradictory.
Any help or useful links to share?

Go to the unlock thread page 9, I posted a detailed S-Off procedure. Any further questions regarding TW firmware they can answer.

[Q] Super CID and S-OFF not working (3.16.111.10, HBOOT 2.15)

Hey Everyone,
after I nearly bricked my One S4, I now would like to flash any custom rom.
Unfortunately, I can't change my CID to 11111111 and also I can't get S-off.
I tried / made the following:
1. I got root & unlock.
2. I tried to change the CID with ADB-push etc. - for some strange reason, I can write the changed mmcblk0p4 to the dev-folder, but immediately after I have written it (no write error!) and if I reopen it - no matter with a root explorer or by pulling it via ADB it has not changed.
I also tried to copy the file from the SD with a root explorer to the folder - same thing, copy works and immediately after it, the old CID is inside.
3. For obtaining S-off I tried all available options, the appropriate version of Moonshine (which stucks with pages and pages of dots - as far as I remember after step 3) and also Rumrunner 0.5 - which says I should update to a newer version.
Facepalm is no option as it is only for SuperCID.
Has anyone an Idea what I could do?
Here is additionaly the fastboot getvar all:
Code:
fastboot getvar all

Nope - I told already in my first post:

I was in your shoes until I found the link I posted. Maybe you didn't follow directions for rumrunner properly. Use rumrunner downloads from that link and try again. Won't hurt

I have the same problem. I can't get S-OFF after unlocking bootloader and rooting. Same Hboot (2.15), tried rumrunner: on Windows it says I need to download updated version, on Ubuntu it won't go past pouring (1). Also tried firewater without success.
I was going to flash ViperOne S 3.2.0 after getting S-OFF. Should I try to flash it before getting S-OFF? Thanks for help!
(My software version is 3.16.401.10)

I have flashed 3.1.3 yesterday with a unlocked device and then extracted the hboot2.15 from this rom and flashed it afterwards again.
It runs so far good!
And this with S-On and without SuperCID.
The Hboot is in the folder "kernel" of the ZIP file.
Nevertheless - S-Off and SuperCID would be cool.
BTW - I tried rumrunner again (3-4 times) with a very detailled following up of the requirements listed on the website etc. Did still not work.

Maeffjus

The ROM yes, the boot is a img file - you have flash it with fastboot (fastboot flash boot xxxhbootxxx.img - however the file name is)

Managed to flash the rom! It's awesome, so many customizations available
Anyway, I'll try to S-Off again and let you know..

I finally managed to get S-Off some days ago. It was just due to my antivirus, Bitdefender. Even though I disabled it, any way to s-off wouldn't work. Uninstalled it and then ran Rumrunner again. Everything went fine!!

Did you try moonshine S-OFF?For your Firmware and cid no: http://moonshine.io/download/di7ki1txf7jq.html
And instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2325590

Unfortunately both did not work AGAIN - I disabled the AV software and disabled the services etc as well.
Rumrunner says Error und Moonshinhe runs forever (see attachement).
Any Ideas?

I really really did - it is not that complicated to foolow them up - for instance, i have never ever installed the HTC Sync Manager (Laptop is one month old)

Remove all of antivirus programs.It should if you are on 3.16.111.10
