can't get S-OFF, would a gold card work? - HTC Sensation

kind of in a sticky spot.
have a vodafone nz z710e ... tried flashing a stock ics RUU .. and i just ended up with a htc sceen rebooting over and over ..
should have read a bit more about the intricacies of upgrading ..re cid and sw version etc
so i found a custom 2.34 and managed to flash that, so at least i can get the phone running.
i've unlocked the bootloader, and have a custome recovery on there now.
but i just can't get the reolutionary s-off app to work ... just gets stuck at the zerg boot thing ..and the same issue with the wire trick, the app hangs ..
i can adb flash stuff to the phone no problem ...
but yeh seems i'm stuck on 2.34 , 152.720.3 , hboot 1.18.000
do gold cards work on a sensation with a unlocked bootloader? maybe i could flash a stock RUU from another region ?

A gold card should work fine pal I will post back when I am home a link to a goldcard making website. just remember the smaller the sdcard the better in my opinion (size in gigabyte) , you will need to flash a "upgrade" to the phone so make sure its a software upgrade but not a Hboot upgrade (try get a WWE Rom ) and you will need to relock your bootloader again before you can run the ruu. if you find one that needs to be Downgraded just say and I will try to help you downgrade your misc partition

thanks mate ... so umm ..do i have to do anything to runn the ruu?
i mean, do i just boot up the phone with the gold card and run the ruu on my pc .... problem is if i relock the bootloader the custome rom i have currently loaded will cause the phone not to boot up, only to fastboot.
so i guess i have to find a zip version and do it via PG58IMG?
but if i do it that way do i have to flash a firmware that supports that rom first?? :/

i really think i'm screwed unless i can get s-off
is there any manual way to get s-off on a hboot 1.18.000 device via adb ...ie not using these revolution or the wire trick ...just pure adb ?

Hi,
In order to s-off you need Revolutionary for 1.18 and wire trick for 1.2x
Your problem is you unlocked via HTC DEV.
Relock .
What area are you in?
Would Asia work?

With the goldcard in the phone and your bootloader locked connect to the pc in fastboot mode and run the ruu iy should run without issue. Just make sure its a gingerbread rom your trying to flash and not a ics one and you shouldn't have any firmware issues

thanks guys ... ahh so the rru will run even if i'm in fastboot?
will try relocking and runnng.
are you guys sure a goldcard works on a sensation? have you done it yourself on a s-on device? ive read alot of comments on sites re it not working.
i'm in new zealand, cid on phone is VODAP022
the other problem is the sw version number is quite high .. 1.52.720.3 ...and having a hard time finding a GB rom with a higher version, let alone WWE

I'm pretty confident it will work, as long as its an update. It won't downgrade unless you have a misc partition downgrade done. If mmc1 fails then an upgrade will be needed to get ics firmware and then s-off via jupuntobear.

can anyone with a stock ics zip please add VODAP022cidnum: and upload it somewhere?
i figure if i can get that, i should be fine as my hboot is 1.18.000 and my sw is 1.52.720.3 .... so any ics zip with my cid in it should work ....

As far as I know, your hboot version cannot be 1.20 when you've "revolutionary s-off'ed" (is this correct?)

hboot 1.20 doesn't remove s-off, and hboot 1.20 can't be s-offed
RCMix ICE v1.1 doesn't have hboot 1.20 so you have obviously flashed a RUU or the new firmware did you install busybox, su, recovery, etc as required if you flashed a RUU no root no flashing new roms

that means your missing drivers try to connect your device via USB and select HTC sync let it add your drivers then try again. In adb type "adb devices" see if your device is listed

Alright, I will try a different SD card. Hopefully this works. I am doing it correct though right? Just copy that file to the SD card and reboot into Hboot and it should just prompt me to update? I don't have to do anything before transferring the file.
Thank you,

Well i'm having issues too after flashing the firmware inc the new radio for ics roms. I can't use fastboot anymore (yes this was know), but i also can't go back to older hboot's either.
i'm getting cid errors while updating pb images. I have only 1 partition. Never had this error before with my sdcard.
This came after flashing hboot 1.20.
Any ideas to revert back to older hboot's ? RUU.exe files won't work anymore, can't flash other radio's etc...
Stuck on this for now...
Advise is very welcome.

[RESOLVED] ics firmware did update hboot, didn't flashed radio

Hey guys,
any ideas on this.
I used the PG58IMG.zip with the new firmware update for only the hboot and radio. The hboot was flashed, i'm now on "locked" 1.20.... but the radio "11.." wasn't flashed. Now i'm having issues with some dialer stuff and net connectivities. So my guess is i need to flash the new radio file.
The thing is i can't flash the radio anymore. fastboot won't work on this new hboot, and i can't use the PG58IMG files anymore.
When trying to use a PG58IMG file, i'm getting the cid error.
RESOLVED:
fastboot cid commands still work on hboot 1.20, just get your phone into hboot, and try supercid, this worked for me.

i'm switching between all options, but it is known that hboot 1.20... doesn't support fastboot yet, so that's something else.
for now i'm back to gingerbread, but i really liked ics, let's hope somebody will find a way to use fastboot on 1.20...
give it a try put downloaded zip on root of sd card go into bootloader and phone should see file and flash.
this is just what i have read on the ICS firmware thread.

yeah it sees the update, it's trying to auto install, can't choose yes or no, it's just scanning for the PG files and when it's trying to install the zip file it stops with a incorrect cid error.
install complete ruu (released by rc team), that'll install everything including radio, after that install any custom ICS rom you like, i found this method safest.
be sure to super cid your phone.

Well, you can always unlock the bootloader with htcdev. Then you can use fastboot again.

Here's some advice. I was having the same problem you were. What I realized was that I was unable to check my cid or use fastboot options because I was running a ics Rom which breaks fastboot. I'm tmous and my cid wasn't in firmware by default. So after trying to flash the update I ended up with the updated hboot 1.20 that said locked (supposedly just says locked but really isnt) I kept reading every page of the firmware thread and I found someone who added the tmous cid to the firmware update and posted a drop box link which worked like a charm. I reflashed that one and now I have new radio and firmware and my phone is much smoother. Hopefully this works for you as it sounds like exactly what I went thru. Going to go find you the link now
Edit* here you go, let me know how it works out

I reflashed that one and now I have new radio and firmware and my phone is much smoother. Hopefully this works for you as it sounds like exactly what I went thru. Going to go find you the link now
Edit* here you go, let me know how it works out

I see you have a tmous phone,i'm on Vodafone NL, so your cid won't work with my phone.

[Q] Vodafone RUU

Hi, i need to revert to stock and want to know if the Vodafone UK RUU will work on my device with the cid VODAP102 (Vodafone Germany) ? Has anyone tried? Or is there a RUU Vodafone DE?
Thanks in advance!

When you have the RUU, run it without a device first. When the first window of the RUU opens, drag it to the side of your screen, open Explorer and search your windows drive for "rom.zip". When you find it copy it to another location and close the RUU window.
Open rom.zip archive and you will find a file called "android-info.txt" open it and see if your cid is listed there. If it is present you can flash this RUU safely.
Yep, it's in there. Thank you guys!

Conversely, that should mean that I can use the Vodafone UK RUU RUU_Saga_Vodafone_UK_1.32.161.1_Radio_20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.15_M_release_179398_signed.exe to downgrade my Vodafone DE Desire S (Android 2.3.5, Hboot 2.00.0002, Software 2.10.161.5) using this method here? - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20535265&postcount=26

What is the significance of HBOOT Preupdate? All the RUUs have a Preupdate value 13, my phone has a Preupdate value of 12. That doesn't matter probably?

Thanks for your help, but it's not there. Is there any way to restore DS without this RUU? It's bootloader unlocked, rooted, has the custom recovery. unfortunately the "misc version" was not uploaded in adb mode, thus I cannot change the main version, to be able to downgrade it. But since the main version is "too high" (2.10.161.5) and there is no adb mode and I dont have the original RUU there is nothing to do. Is it possible somehow to change the main version in fastboot???? I think this would be the only chance without the the ruu.
Try this site http://www.androidfiles.org/ruu/?developer=Saga

Guess you forgot to fastboot flash boot boot.img
Also, why would you need a RUU anyway? You can still enter recovery, can't you? Heck, of course you can: even if you couldn't you could always fastboot flash recovery recovery.img a working one.
I fail to see why a RUU would be necessary here.

Thanks for your help, but I dont really understand what u say..... Right now there is clockwork 5.0.2.0 on it, we tried to install custom roms, which seemed to be done, but the phone stops at HTC logo after flashing. I guess I could flash back the original recovery (actually I only have one from RUU 1.32.161.1), but how would it solve my problem? How about the other image files, like system, hboot etc? Please exlain it to me a bit more detailed! Thx

Lets see again: bootloader unlocked, cwm 5.0.2.0 installed, as you adviced I flased an official 1.32.161.1(older than the original 2.10.161.5) boot.img, then tried to install from recovery the custom rom, which still seems to be ok, but the phone freezes at htc logo during boot. This custom rom is a well known working version, there shouldnt be any problem. What else can I do without the RUU?

What? You flashed the boot.img from a RUU and expected it to work with a custom ROM??
Why don't you just flash the boot.img that's included with the custom ROM...?

Stuck in bootloader

Hi guys,
I've got some ****y problem. So I was on Jelly Bean rom with revolutionary S-Off but wanted to have feature full phone and thought ok go back to stock (bad idea...)
So I followed a tutorial flashed Eng Hboot and wanted to restore with an O2 Gingerbread RUU. Everything worked fine until I got Error 140 (Bootloader failure)...Now I'm S-On but I don't have any rom on my phone so I'm stuck in recovery.
S-On
Hboot 0.98.0000
Radio 38.03.02.14_M
In my opinion I have to get a goldcard to flash a ruu on top of all that **** ^^ Buuut I can't boot so no ADB, hence I can't get my CID. Tried some tools to get CID via card reader but It didn't work for me.
Any Help, Suggestions? Help me to fix my android and avoid to buy an Iphone ^^
Cheers
main version check fail...that stopped the RUU
Have a go at fastboot, if that doesn't work it will need to be sent off to the repair center to be reprogrammed by JTAG experts.
Sent from my Nexus One using xda app-developers app
I can enter fastboot and do commands that's not the problem. Sadly my hboot seems to be too low for htcdev unlock -.- ...And I don't know of any method to get ADB working in bootloader, fastboot, ...
Can you get into recovery from fastboot? If so, you can run ADB from there.
Sent from my Desire S
Why not trying to flash the ruu that suits your carrier,
Besides, it's best not to use eng-hboot in order to get back to s-on, imho,it's best to upgrade hboot to revolutionary 7.x after using revolutionary s-off, it's compatible with most 2.3.5ruus and custom roms.
I can get into recovery but it is stock recovery...and adb doesn't recognize my device while i'm in there ...
The ruu suits my carrier, as I said the signature check was true but the version check failed...i would need a newer o2 ruu but that doesn't exist
help me pls^^
Can you flash a custom recovery, such as 4EXT or CWM, using a PG88IMG zip file on your sdcard?

Hey Bill thx for your help! I used an old phone wich could get into CWM Got CID of SD Card and did the Gold Card method! Flashing Ruu PG88IMG right now

I am trying but it always keep saying error "wrong CID"!! Even with golden card !!
I am trying to change CID using fastboot but keep saying INFO[ERR] Command error !!!
Anyone have an idea ?
uff.... I finally managed to fix this out by flashing the right ruu

Hi sayed.hosam,
I'm trying to install the asian RUU to get the system in chinese.
But I allways get an error 131 (customer ID error).
I bought the device in Germany, that's why I suppose I have to use a goldcard, althougt it should not be locked by a provider.
After a couple of attempts, it also doesn't work with a goldcard.
Did you need a goldcard to flash the asian RUU?
If yes, did you use mmc0, mmc1 or mmc2 to get the CID?
Installing the european RUU is working for me, but doesn't containt chinese language.

No I didn't need a golden card.. I just found the right ruu and no errors happened !!
I must say that my device was unlocked from the "htcdev" site , and i relocked it before installing the ruu
Thanks for your reply!
Maybe it worked for you because you came from slim-sense, which is not locked.
Did you ever used a gold card on your desire c in the past?
