So, I used to be an Android expert and knew what was wrong just by the symptoms of the problem, having had an iPhone for about 4 months has changed all that. I'm still familiar with some of the stuff, fast boot, installing a recovery, mostly basic things, so I come here to the community I uses to help in.
Here's my issue: Viper ROM was installed, and I wanted to try out Rebel ROM. Downloaded it, but wouldn't connect to my computer through the ROM, so I booted to recovery to mount the internal storage.
It wouldn't flash, stating an error, tried CleanROM, same error. Now there's no OS on the phone, so I decided to RUU so I'd have something too work with.
Its on 2.20 so I downloaded that one, and program ran fine till it told me there was an error and so I can't even have a stock ROM.
TL;DR It can boot to recovery, fast boot, but can't flash a ROM or RUU. Any ideas? Thanks guys for your replies.

Did you try extracting the boot.IMG from the ROM, fastboot flash boot.img. if your on 1.14 Hboot you'll need to do this.

The error is because you didn't lock your bootloader before running the ruu fastboot oem lock

I am on hboot 1.14, can I use XsMagicals program? I'd rather use the ADB commands but I've forgotten them.

Oh, thank you sir! I'll look up how to do that.
There's no way to downgrade the hboot, is there?
Flashing boot imgs can only be done through fastboot without s off(which I highly recommend you do) but tutorial on fastboot coming up!

Flashing boot img through fastboot...
download the file in the link which above which will include adb and fastboot....put that on your computer somewhere you can find it.. now take the boot image out of the Rom zip and place it in that folder... Boot your phone into bootloader scroll down and select fastboot and now open a command prompt with in the fastbootbadb folder on your comp and type to command without the quotes "fastboot flash boot boot.img"...now go wipe in recovery and install the Rom it doesn't matter if you keep the boot img in the Rom zip or not

My device is S-ON, so I should S-OFF it?
And no way to downgrade the hboot? I know you can't RUU down to an earlier version because of this.

Yes s off makes things 100 x easier and without s off you can't downgrade hboot through ruu
Thank you sir! With S-OFF, I can RUU back to an earlier version? I tried searching through the dev section, I mostly found ROMs, and a couple mods.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155071 here is our s off thread very easy after that you can flash the ruu and it will downgrade your hboot... I recokmend you flash to viper than you do s off..but I'll link you to the ruu thread in a sec

Nvm, fixed it! Thanks to both of you, couldn't have done it without your input.
Didn't find to much related to specifically to what I want to do.
I was tinkering with my software and messed something up and won't boot.
I can seem to find a strict stock rooted rom from t-mobile
Can I do the following without messing up my phone?
I already have s-off and twrp and a none working rom.
I want to relock bootloader, flash ruu
unlock again and flash recovery and root file.
I think this should work without messing up the phone and I should still have s-off right?

I've ran an RUU a couple times and still had S-off when it was done. It should not impact that at all.
Or you can skip all that and just flash the t mobile ROM in the dev section.
But, yeah, you will keep soff through the ruu

No need to relock bootloader if s-off. You should flash stock recovery so and use a CID according to your RUU file.
Stock recovery not needed.
Just ruu away

Oooh
I also thought too you needed to re lock to flash a ruu.
I guess that is only if not s off then.
Just need to match cid though still.
SCID will work with any RUU. But you shouldn't use it if you insist to upgrade by OTA... Some people reported a brick this way.
Updating EU RUU from 2.31.401.5 to 3.16.401.8 (going from a CM10.1 version)
Well here is what I've done if it can help some. No warranty that it'll work for everyone, but let's go:
First thing : I've started with CM10.1, S-OFF, SuperCID (11111111) and TWRP 2.5.0.0
I DID NOT relock the bootloader and NOT put back the original Recovery
1) I've put back my original CID (EU Bouygues eg. HTC__203. You should put your original one). Fortunately, I had the original mmcblk0p4 file backup (just copy back the original file to /dev/block. See here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26516911#post26516911).
2) once my original CID has been put back (still S-OFF and TWRP and not relock), I've started in bootloader mode the RUU_Ville_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.31.401.5 and let things run
3) after the installation and reboot, I went to Parameters/Update/Check to force the JB update 3.16.401.8 download.
4) I've let the JB update to be performed (several reboot): all went fine. Going into fastboot, I'm still Unlocked / S-OFF / HTC__203 (original) / Radio 1.11.50 and HBOOT 2.15.000. Sounds good !
5) I went back into fastboot to re-flash the TWRP 2.5.0.0 (fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-ville.img)
6) I then reboot into Recovery : now TWRP is back ! In TWRP, try to reboot into bootloader. TWRP will warn you that you're not ROOT and suggest to install root on your phone. Hit YES.
7) Reboot normally your phone : you should have now a Super SU Installer icon in your apps. Open it, choose install via TWRP, and you're good to go! You've now the latest HTC JB sense version with root.
Optional :
-You can perform a full TWRP backup (with Sense/original CID) in case of further HTC update (?)
-You can put back your SuperCID if wanted
Now if you want to test the CM10.1-3.4 kernel here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302248, it's booting fine (after full wipe)
Voilà !
Hope this helps
yeah
with the tmo model I can get the JB ruu right from HTC
I have just been having issues that I want to get stock and maybe root.
Will double check CID and just flash then.
I think hboot and radio on jb equivlent already but will try that.
Thank you
I wanted to post a little warning here, and relate what happened with my RUU update. First, I'm unlocked, s-off, Hboot 1.13.0000, superCID (11111111), running TWRP 2.5.0.0.
So I read somewhere that the latest RUU may not install correctly if on an older Hboot so I fastboot flashed the latest 2.15, no problems. Then I found a decrypted ROM that Hasoon2000 had posted thinking that this would give me the firmware I wanted, I believe this was based off of RUU_Ville_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.16.401.8_Radio_1. 11.50.05.28_10.27.50.08L_release. I then Fastboot flashed: (I didn't relocking bootloader or changing CID but I did first flash stock recovery because I wasn't sure it I needed to or not)
1. fastboot erase cache
3. fastboot oem rebootRUU
4. fastboot flash zip "name of ROM".zip
The script ran and everything flashed successfully, so I reflashed TWRP 2.3.3.0 and the phone booted just like stock ROM. At this point I checked the Hboot and it was 2.04 something! with a 1.11?? radio. (So this told me I likely wouldn't have needed to first flash the 2.15 Hboot not sure about this tho) I then tried to restore my backed up SDcard and here is where I ran into problems. My SDcard/internal storage only had 48.6MB of space! Nothing I did would change it I worked with this for several hours last night before giving up and this morning I thought to try running a different Tmobile RUU. Found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250573 and downloaded this Firmware package: http://www.filedropper.com/firmware_1 and ran the same fastboot commands (changed recovery back to stock which I probably wouldn't have needed to do...??) and everything flashed perfectly (I needed to run the "fastboot flash zip firmware.zip" the second time, which is normal). I now have my SDcard back with Hboot 2.15, radio 1.13, superCID and s-off yet, "hopefully" am ready to flash the new 3.4 updated stuff!
I suspect the reason for my problems lay in my flashing a euro ROM/RUU, but I really don't know that for sure. This is just what happened to me. Hope this helps a bit!
i believe i have an issue that is too challenging for me. i flashed the lates trickdroid and for some reason i couldnt get my radio to show. my baseband version was unknown. i tried to flash a new radio tto no avail. finally i flashed the jb ruu and now the rom will work for a couple of minutes and then reboot still with unknow baseband radio version. im s off with super cid. any thing to help woul be appreciated.
Did you run the ruu exe or how did you flash it?

You can try the tmous jb one.
That might be better as not a downgrade.
Not sure about the eu one but that could be why the ics one is not working.

Interesting thought... Try a cm based ROM. They use a radio in a different system folder. If it still doesn't work, sounds more like a hardware failure.
I have a HTC ONE X LTE - Rogers. I was running hboot 1.11 with Viper Custom ROM. I decided it was time to update my rom but I have not done any flashing in a while. I tried installing the newest Revolution HD ROM without any luck and realized it maybe because my hboot was out of date. So I tried to re-lock my bootloader and flash a newer RUU with JB but I feel like this is where I went wrong. I think I flashed the wrong RUU. I can no longer boot into Recovery. Even if I try flashing for it again I still can not boot into it.
Its status is currently UNLOCKED, hboot is 2.14. I don't want to mess this up, what do I do now?
Version-main 3.17.631.2
When I run fastboot and adb commands, fastboot works but it isn't recognized as a device for adb commands.

Revolution HD isn't for our phone, that's for the Endeavoru (HTC One X), you have the Evita (HTC One XL). You're lucky you didn't brick the phone.
After the RUU does the phone boot up into Android? Have you manually flashed TWRP recovery since you ran the RUU?

Yeah... I realize the differences now. Even posted asking for help on the wrong board till they redirected me to this one. Hmm I was on this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1859714
and Im pretty sure I downloaded this file
http://www.androidruu.com/getdownlo...128.32.34a_release_299850qstr7rxdbfuofl6j.zip
and inside that I extracted the firmware.zip and flashed that onto my then RE-locked phone.
Everything was fine except I was following another thread that stated how and I just typed the commands. The guy said after it said "Okay" in the cmd window it was fine but on my phone the progress bar didn't go all the way and was actually stuck on the last bit for a good while so I thought since he said it was "okay" it was done and I restated my phone. Thats when the problems came.
That's a zip file so it's an OTA, not an RUU, an OTA will not work unless you already have the correct system already installed for it to build on. An RUU is an exe file. Go back to androidruu and download an RUU exe file then connect your phone in fastboot mode and run the exe program. Don't extract it, just run the program.

Oh ok, cool. Is there a difference between Evita and EvitaRE? Is it ok if the RUU is a lower number(Im assuming a less up to date) firmware than the one I have right now? Then what should I do after? What Custom rom would you recommend? I was thinking a stable CM rom since I really like the look of AOSP. My only problem was I tried it before and my battery only lasted around 6 hours. With Viper I could get around 7-14 depending on usage.
When I run the RUU (1.0.6.2012) it says From :IMG V 3.17.631.2 To: Image V 1.94.631.3. Is this correct?
Evita and EvitaRE are two completely different phones. Only ever use ROMs/kernels/radios/RUUs that are for Evita specifically. You can't run an older RUU if you're s-on, are you s-on or s-off? Asking for a recommended ROM isn't allowed here, to say one is better infers that the others are inferior in some way. This isn't fair on the devs who spend their spare time bringing us great ROMs free of charge. You need to have a look through the ROMs on offer and find one you think you'll like. Also I asked you before if you've tried flashing TWRP recovery with fastboot? You never answered.

I am S-ON. Sorry about that, didn't realize. Yes I did try flashing TWRP recovery with fastboot but I am not able to acces it and I am not sure if I am flashing it correctly. I just put it into the folder with my fastboot files and cmd fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (I renamed it to recovery.img)
I downloaded RUU 1.0.6.2012 (it was the only exe in the list for my region) and I tried installing it. I get an Error 155:Unknown error. Telling me to get the correct RUU and try again.
Where did you download TWRP? Maybe we should start again to make sure you've got the right version. Download TWRP 2.6 from here. Put the file in your fastboot folder. Connect phone in fastboot mode, open command prompt from within fastboot folder, issue the following commands:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "filename.img"
(the exact filename, minus the talking marks)
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now hopefully you can enter recovery on your phone.

As long as you only download ROMs etc from those two development forums you can't really go wrong. Now just find a ROM you like and you can flash it. Remember if it's an aosp ROM you need to flash gapps as well. And don't forget to flash the boot.img afterwards too because you're s-on. If you have any further problems just ask here.

Cool, thanks for all the help! I think Im just going to do a quick install of cleanrom, make sure everything is stable and get S-OFF. After that I'll update my RUU to 3.18 and make a backup from there. Thank you again!
Well no I'm stuck again. I am trying to get S-OFF in order to get a clean RUU install so that the kernel isn't messed up like it is right now. Except The only two methods of getting S-OFF required either SuperCID or adb commands. The only way I can find to get SuperCID is through ADB commands so regardless I need to use adb commands. It isn't so bad except that my phone is not recognized when I try to run adb commands. Ive done everything to reinstalling multiple times yet nothing seems to work.

Ah ok, I thought you were using the latest version of CR which is an Android 4.2.2 ROM. So you've updated both your HTC drivers and adb/fastboot? What version of Windows are you using? Are you using the HTC usb cable that came with the phone? Are you using a front or rear usb port?

Tested on my Desktop running Windows 7-x64 as well and all the drivers are fine except for the MTP drivers. They don't install correctly. Thats the problem with my laptop as well.
Is there anyway I can do a clean wipe or start over from scratch?
An RUU will start you over from scratch, the only problem is that you're s-on so you can run an older RUU and there isn't an RUU that's equal to or greater than your current firmware. Are you able to mount your sd card in TWRP?

HI all,
I tried to flashed the RUU but it seems that the version I flashed was lower than the one I had.
Now the screen is just black and I can not use the power + down vol to get to fastboot at all.
it will be greatly appreciated if I can get some guidance to get to the fastboot.
Cheers
What exactly did you flash? What does the phone show up on windows as? Does charge light come on when plugged into wall? Did the ruu complete? s-on or s-off?

apology - duplicate post

thanks you for the response.
sorry I was not sure what info to give.
I was trying to flash RUU asia HK because I originally from STOCK turge but everytime I have a conversation my phone keep shuting down.
so I did (quoting from the instruction page):
Download HTC One X Stock Recovery
Download correct HTC One X boot.img and RUU based on CID. Download CID Getter from Google Play Store and run it, it will show your CID.
For this case, cidnum is HTC_044. The correct RUU is X.XX.707.X. Make sure you have downloaded the correct RUU.
Extract Fastboot.zip into a new folder, renamed the folder to Fastboot. Recommended to extract the folder to drive.
Copy and paste the downloaded stock recovery img and boot img into Fastboot folder.
Boot HTC One X into fastboot mode by press and hold Volume Down + Power button.
Connect your phone to the computer via USB cable.
At your computer, open up Command Prompt windows. (To OpenCommand Prompt –> Windows Logo–> Type CMD in search box –>Enter)
Type fastboot flash recovery endeavoru_recovery_signed.img , followed by fastboot reboot-bootloader and fastboot erase cache.
Once you flashed the stock recovery, continue to flash boot.img to your phone. Type fastboot flash boot boot.img, followed by fastboot reboot-bootloader and fastboot erase cache.
Now, relock the bootloader by typing fastboot oem lock, followed by fastboot reboot-bootloader and fastboot erase cache.
Your phone will restart after you have relock the bootloader.
Boot into Fastboot mode.
Double click the RUU, follow the updater instruction.
Wait the sending file to your phone, it normally takes 5-6 minutes.
Once the installation/update completes, your phone will automatically reboot.
when I last look at the details My CID is still 11111111 but status "RELOCKED" - it says also "EVITA PVT SHIP S-OFF RL"
HBOOT 2.14.0000
does this mean that I can safely run RUU:
RUU_EVITA_UL_ICS_40_S_hTC_Asia_HK_2.42.708.3_Radio_0.20os.32.09.15_10.113.32.28L_release_286715_signed.7z
If there still more things to do, would you kindly direct me to the correct link to follow.
THank you
Never mind, didn't read properly. Will edit and repost.

Your first problem is that you're flashing things that aren't intended for your device. The recovery you flashed is for the Endeavoru, you have the Evita. The second problem is it looks like you're getting your information from the wrong place, to go back to stock you don't need to flash a recovery or a boot.img, all you need to do is flash the right RUU for your device. What RUU did you already run? I need the exact filename. Does your phone power on at all? Can you reach the bootloader?

I see you're looking at all kinds of different threads at the moment, that isn't going to help because I don't think you know exactly what you're doing, you don't know what you've done, and you don't know how to recover from it. Your best bet is to stay in this thread and I'll try to help you work out what's gone wrong.

this is the one I ran earlier.
The progress is that I somehow manage to get to fastboot by pressing the vol down and power .
I am trying to download : RUU_EVITA_UL_JB_45_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_3.17.707.1_Radio_0.23a.32.09.29_10.128.32.34a_release_298958_signed.exe at the moment but it seems that the first download did not complete - so I am downloading again,
is this what I need to do? just run the RUU?
Cheers

U should download one that has the same radio as yrs also it will take fast download speed otherwise it will keep breaking up. t took me 4 attempts before I manage to download it yesterday (same file as one u r trying) good luck cheers!
You got seriously lucky. You ran an RUU intended for the HTC One X (codename Endeavoru), you don't have that phone. You have the HTC One XL / at&t One X (codename Evita), they're completely different phones. Note how the first RUU you ran has Endeavoru in the filename, that's bad, really bad, don't ever flash anything that doesn't have the Evita codename within the filename. If it has Evita in the filename it's for your phone, if it has anything else don't touch it, burn it, run away. Like I said, you're incredibly lucky your phone isn't bricked right now.
I can only assume that you're a bit confused and have been hopping between the two forums for these phones. In future stay within this device forum that you're posting in now, don't ever go anywhere else. You don't even need to visit other websites because, seriously, everything you'll ever need is right here within this device forum. Plus other sites don't properly distinguish between the models which causes confusion.
Anyway. The second RUU that you've listed there is perfectly fine for your phone. I can't guarantee that it's going to work though because previously running the wrong RUU could have really messed things up on your phone. But your only hope is to cross your fingers and run it now. Let me know how it all goes.

What are you talking about? He doesn't need to use an RUU with the same radio/baseband that's currently on his device, that's just wrong. Firstly the idea of an RUU is to update your device, therefore traditionally you'd be updating to a newer radio version than the one that's currently installed. With s-on you can only run an RUU that contains a firmware version that's equal to or greater than your current firmware. This user has s-off though so he can run any RUU that he wants to, including earlier ones (RUU'ing backwards). I don't know where you got the idea that you need to run an RUU with the same radio as your existing radio but it's just plain wrong, and you really shouldn't be telling people that.

False. With s-on, you can only run RUUs for your CID, and with the same or latter hboot and firmware number. So if you were having trouble flashing an RUU, its probably because you were s-on and trying to either flash another carrier's RUU, or an older version.
The OP is s-off, so therefore all security checks are off. He can flash the RUU for any carrier, any version. As long as its meant for our device (EVITA), of course.
Hi guys
Thank you for all the guidance.
I got the 4.1.1 on my phone now and phone is use-able. I can not thank you guys enough for the help.
After i finished RUU flash the phone detected the new firmware update. When i dowloaded and tried to update, it says that the phone has been modified and they can not run/install the update. When i checked my boot it shows :
"relocked"
cid is still 111111.
Evita pvt ship s-off RL
HBOOT: 2.14
radio : 0.23a.32.09.29
Do i need to do more installation before my phone can get the update from HTC like the one coming out from the factory?
Cheers.

You need to change your CID back to the stock CID to take the OTA update.

I searching in the forum about changing CID. But it seems that is all about how to change CID to 111111. Is there any tutorial to revert back to original CID?
Do i need to sort out my s-off first before changing CID?
Thank you in advance.
Regards
Arda
You said in a previous post that you're s-off. So are you s-off or s-on? Please boot into bootloader and post your bootloader details again.
Sent from my Evita
Hi Timmaa
I believe I am S-OFF - when I look at the bootloader screen it said S-OFF.
Do I need to flash anything at all to get my CID back to original?
On that note I was looking at the RedPoint73 resource guide page but I am not able to find the tutorial to make the CID back to original.
Any info is greatly appreciated.
Cheers
All you need to do is issue a fastboot command:
Code:
fastboot oem writecid xxxxxxxx
The x's represent the new CID.

I did :
fastboot oem writecid 622 but it came back with ....INFOfail: [writecid] invalid CID
I flashed the RUU_EVITA_UL_JB_45_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_3.17.707.1_Radio_0.23a.32.09.29_10.128.32.34a_release_298958_signed.exe
was the 622 number incorrect?
cheers
No, 622 isn't a CID. A correct CID consists of eight characters, that's why I put eight x's in my example. What model is your phone? You need find the right CID for your model and change it to that. You need to be more careful, you're attempting things without knowing what you're doing again, you're in serious danger of damaging your phone.

Hi Timmaa
My phone is HTC ONE XLTE
I use CID Getter and it came up with HTC__622, so I entered that into the fastboot command and it changed my CID but when I try to flash the new update downloaded directly through the phone it came up with the messsage below after verifying the phone.
not sure why.....( pls see attached)
So you ran the RUU.exe? You didn't extract it or anything? What have you done to the phone since then?

Hi guys,
My sister sent me her HTC One SV aka K2-UL i offered her from expansys on june, it is stuck on Hboot
*** LOCKED***
K2_UL XA SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.00.0000
eMMC Boot
...
I can go to Fastboot USB ( or AC )
She 's worst than a noob so phone is stock, up to date but non-root non-unlock, still S-ON and so on.
just once phone reboot and stay stuck...
From here i can navigate but after reboot i'm still here.
I tried :
factory reset and recovery (with rom renamed PL80DIAG but would be too easy...)
RUU but RUU asked for bootloader so stuck on "waiting for bootloader"
go to htc dev to unlock bootloader but after flash unlock token ( unlock token check successfully) but : Nothing happens and still writtten ***Locked*** then if I "fastboot oem unlock" it says failed :<remote : loading custom splash failed>
fastboot flash boot.img but nothing works since still S-on and locked bootloader (superCID is out too)
flash custom recovey or even fresh stock recovery but nothing worked for the same reasons...
Do you guys have any idea of something i could do?
Thanks for your answer and forgive my English I'm French
As long as you are ***LOCKED*** you can quiet do nothing.
To use our available RUU you must also be unlocked & S-Off.
Somewhat the same situation
I am stuck here:

I can get into Fastboot as well as bootloader, I CANNOT GET INTO RECOVERY. I have tried to restore with the respective RUU files from the All things HTC ONE SV forum. I have also tried to flash the recovery boot and radio img files through fastboot usb. NONE of this has worked for me. I really enjoyed this phone before I went and made it all FUBR. If there is anyway to get it to boot to any recovery or rom, i will much appreciate it. Thanks for all your help from previous posts as well as any future help I get from information posted here.
Related to your hboot, you should be able to flash any recoveries, but i usually recommend this one.
What command do you use to flash recovery and do you get an output from "fastboot devices"?

Thanks a million for the replies. I was able to lead the recovery and get into it (the most progress i have had in a year with this phone). With that being done. When I go into recovery I am unable to mount the internal storage. I am not too sure of the procedures I need to go through to get this thing functional again. I have been tinkering with my S3 for the last few months, but with KNOX on now I am looking to Jump ship completely from both verizon and samsung. Enough rambling, Like I said thanks for the help, any assistance in getting this thing to boot to a ROM would be much appreciated.
BTW
I used the fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
I have tried this before with no success. This time it worked.
I also flased the Radio and Boot img for ICS.
Thanks.

If you want I can just skip you to 4.2.2. You don't need to reflash recovery and stuff. I will make a package that will update HBOOT and radios. And system/boot.img.

He first needs to be S-off, to flash radio & hboot. I have made a 4.1.2 rom for cricket, must be linked in my index thread. Wipe all, flash the rom, flash boot.imgwith fastboot and hope that little baby is booting.
If yes, use moonshine.io or rumrunner.us to get S-off.
Then we will do next steps.

Wow! Awsome! This bad boy booted. I was able to flash the rom through recovery. This is much further than I expected to get with this device. Now when I try to go S-Off with either moonshine or rumrunner I get an error saying not able to make adb connection. When I use fastboot devices my device will show up...if i do adb devices nothing...Would love to have S-Off and SU installed. But like I said this is much further than I expected to get so anything further is icing on the cake. Thanks in Advance.
Is Usb-Debugging enabled?
Any output from adb devices? HTC Sync installed (for the drivers)?

He can just use the Naked Driver for the adb driver. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2263822
Ok I DID have USB debugging enabled. After messing with the drivers and my Windows 8 computer, I have came to the conclusion that it is something with the drivers and their compatibility with Windows 8. Either way moonshine or rumnunner never worked for me in a windows 8 environment. I dual boot ubuntu 12.04 anyway, it saw my device just fine adb and fastboot. I ran moonshine and it went through all the testing stages, but was never able to completely run...so I still have no S-Off. Do I need to update Hboot or anything? Also am I able to load a custom rom on this device with S-ON? I have been looking but I do not see many out for this device at all, which is a shame because I feel as though it is very comparable to my GS3. It would be nice to see a nice AOSP ROM on this device. But all take any updates I can for the device, hopefully it will help with the issue I have will cell reception dropping all the time. Thanks
To answer some of your questions:
- you can't update hboot because you are not stock and not S-off
- there are indeed not much roms to flash, but you could do with S-on (and unlocked bootloader)
- if you would flash the Sense 5/Android 4.2.2 rom, you would have noizy sound, without the firmware files (which you need S-Off to flash)
Another way for getting S-off (which should work with your hboot), is facepalm.
But the part of changing CID to SuperCID is very risky, read carefully and only do, when you are sure you understand, what to do!!!

Thanks for all the help! I am now SuperCID with S-OFF, Facepalm worked like a charm. Would it be possible to put slimrom on this device? Anyway thanks for all the help, I am going to check out some ROMS..as far as flashing goes, I am assuming how I have my phone now I should be able to flash any rom that is compatible with the device.

You're completely S-OFF? The radios and new HBOOT update need to be flashed in RUU mode. Let me get my bearings and you can flash everything. (adb reboot oem-42 or fastboot oem rebootRUU is a way to get to RUU mode.)

Yes I am completely S-OFF with CID 111111 and SU. The phone has been working good, Cricket service is not all that great in my area. I see there is a software update 2.04.1050.5 (15.1 MB), I am assuming if i run this update it will most likely wipe everything I just did. Is this correct?
