[Q] How to return to stock or s-off without matching hboot ,firmware,cid

i have a sensation 4g that I had rooted , super cid, and s-off using revolutionary method ,i'm thinking i have a wrong s-on / soft brick maybe that returned my phone to s- on but still rooted and super cid , I have tried the junopbear s-off method , various ruu , and everything else I could find after doing much research with no luck , in the process i lost super cid and now have T-MOB010 cid with htc unlock and rooted .
the problem I think I have had trying to run a ruu to just put back to stock is that I have hboot 1.29 with version 1.50.531.1 and cid T-MOB010 and cannot find a ruu that will match those or update without an error

yeah I have tried both of those and I get error 155
also have run as admin and tried PG58IMG.zip method
also I had unlocked the phone so it is a t-mobile but has a strait talk (t-mobile) sim , before I lost s-off i had flashed a PG58IMG that had hboot 1.29.000 , firm 3.33.401.106 , radio 11.76c.3504.00p_11.29A.3504.18_M_PG58IMG so not sure why version changed to 1.50.531.1
was fine till I was messing around with partitioning my sd a couple days later had to pull the battery and when I turned it on it went to bootloader with locked bootloader and s on

error 155 AFAIK is a connection issue
when you connect the device to pc from bootloader before using the ruu.exe in the hboot screen must say fastboot usb
did you check that?

Yes always made sure it said fastboot usb

Hmm,
Then see if your bootloader says locked or relocked
If it is unlocked you must relock it

Now i've been running cyanogenmod 10 stable since I started rooting etc...
And it's been amazing, but now since there has been a release candidate for 10.1, I was looking into updating it.
I ran into an issue where my boot-loader was not accepted , therefor i would run into an error on Clockwork mod stopping me from flashing 10.1
The bad thing was that I erased my previous installation without backing up the stock and CM10.
So now i'm left with no system. Though I can get into Fastboot and ADB via recovery.I
For some reason if I try to flash CM10 (The rom and the boot file) the cyanogenmod logo will continue spinning.
I tried to fiddle around with my RUU afterwards because I currently have S-On. But i later learned that i need superCID.
^(Which i learned that you need your phone on to alter it to the 8 "1"s) Which i cant do because i have no system.
I might have already altered some files guessing that my boot-loader is named "dirty-d92cc658" and im afraid that I messed up something internally.
So anyways. Im here with my Ville S4 plugged in on fastboot not knowing what to do.
Any Help would be amazing , thank you

Did you try a RUU for Rogers? Not sure if there is one but try to find a RUU that matches your cid

If you have a RUU for your specific phone, no, you just need to lock the bootloader.
Have USB debugging turned on (unless running ruu when your phone is in fastboot usb mode)
If you can't find one for Rogers, then yes you have to be super cid to run another RUU.exe (after that change your cid back so an OTA update doesn't brick your phone)
If your phone is on Jellybean, you need to run a JB ruu, if it's Ice Cream Sandwich it won't run. Unless you are supercid I guess.

How can I superCID my phone if I cant boot into the rom?

I've never superCid, can't help you there.
Good news is you can get into bootloader still.
You could fastboot flash a boot.img and flash a rom in recovery.
Just need to mount usb storage in recovery to put the rom.zip on your phone.
Edit: reread that you tried that but rom didn't boot. Hopefully you waited 5-10 min for first load.
try wipedata/factory reset from CWM like 3 times then flashing?
Good luck to ya.
Edit 2: kind of wondering if you can run the Rogers RUU with that low of a bootloader (version-bootloader: 1.13.0000)
Maybe someone can chime in, because that would be nice not having to SuperCid.

Alright so I seemed to get it running on CM 10 by switching recoveries and flashing it's boot.
Then I was able to superCID the phone, which then lead my into S-off'ing it.
Then I was able to update the hboot firmware to 2.15
Cleared the cache and installed the new kernel and flashed cyanogenmod 10.1 rc
Everything went well after that. I did run into a laggy issue, which I then fixed by switching the CPU governor to ondemand instead of interactive.
Thanks for the post guys

Current ROM is not stable, unable to flash most of the roms via TWRP with S-Off

Ok, I'll start from the beginning.
I purchased my phone from Rogers at April 2012. So it was Rogers stock 4.0.x rom, everything was locked at that time. I FORGOT the stock hboot/ruu version number for Rogers ONE XL.
From the time being, I rooted it, superCID, unlocked via HTC DEV. After these, I flashed customer recovery, and successfully flashed several roms from time being. Finally I stayed with ViperXL.
Then, facepalm s-off is released, and I s-offed my phone. Everything worked just fine.
The problem occurred when I started to flash sense 5 roms about couple weeks ago. I did not upgrade my firmware and I flashed sense 5 based roms (this is my bad), so I'm experiencing random reboot and signal drops. Then I upgraded my firmware using the instruction in this tread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2423735 . I verified my installtion with ./fastboot gervar all . At this time, there were two warnings on the top of my bootloader: "tampered" and "unlocked".
So, at this time, I tried several sense 5 roms. My recovery at this time was TWRP 2.6.3.0. All the roms have one common problem on my phone: after I locked the screen and left my phone for a while, if I wanna wake my phone/display, nothing happened by pressing the power button. I have to press the power button for 10+ seconds to restart my phone. If I just left my phone for a short time and wake it, it will work properly.
I was thinking are these sense 5 problems, so I tried to flash cm roms yesterday. I followed the instructions in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2382933 to upgrade my RUU to 3.18. I flashed TWRP 2.6.3.0, and tried to flash cm 10.1 and 10.2. For cm 10.2, there were a lot of force close when I boot my phone. For cm 10.1, it is so unstable with random reboots as well as did not respond when I try to wake up the phone. I am not questioning CM's roms, I am sure there were something wrong with my phone or what I've done to it.
So, I tried to flash viper rom again with ruu 3.18 installed. The rom won't even boot...... However I found something interesting when I am flashing the viper rom. The size of ViperXL is 700+ MB while the size of CM 10.1 or 10.2 is around 180MB. The time it took to flash ViperXL was shorter than the time it took to flash CM roms.
Then I re-installed the RUU 3.18 update on my phone. Right now, the AT&T stock rom also will not respond after I left my phone idle for a moment......
User timmaaa kindly reminds me about something. I am posting the original post I started in another tread.

I'm assuming "(bootloader) version-main: 3.18.502.6" is the RUU version. I also flashed an hboot 2.14, it became 3.17.xxxxxxx. That'w why I am assuming this is the RUU number.
Ok, regardless of the build number or ruu...... I think there is something wrong with my bootloader. It doesn't matter which hboot I flash (hboot 2.14 with version-main 3.17/3.18, or hboot 2.15 with version-main 5.08), and I tried several twrp (2.4.4.0 and 2.6.3.0). The time it took to flash viper xl is really short while viper xl has 700MB. It is even shorter than the time I flash CM, which is around 180 MB. (Sorry for the bad English, I actually mean "The size of ViperXL is 700+ MB while the size of CM 10.1 or 10.2 is around 180MB. The time it took to flash ViperXL was shorter than the time it took to flash CM roms.")
I guess I'll start with the current AT&T stock rom (which still lose respond after I left the phone open for a while, and I have to press the power button for 10 secs to reset my phone)on hboot 2.14 and ruu 3.18. Root it, try to s-off again. Not sure if this will solve the problem.
Something interesting when I'm booting my phone, when the phone displays only the green HTC in the middle of the display, there is some text below it... saying something like "This is an internal build, do not distribute outside of HTC, failure may cause to law action". However, the AT&T stock rom I'm running right now does not have this.
timmaaa:
It's a bit hard to follow what you're saying there but here goes. It's not the RUU number it's the build number. An RUU is the program that updates your phone, the reason you see them referred to as the 3.18 RUU is because they're known by the build number that they update your phone to.
Did you check the md5 of the downloaded file as someone else suggested? It might be corrupt. Also, maybe you should try TWRP 2.6, versions 2.4.x and 2.5.x are well known as being very buggy, and I've seen people have issues with version 2.6.3 too. 2.6 is rock solid though.
The red text you see when the phone boots up is completely normal for a modified phone so you needn't worry about that. The reason the stock ROM doesn't have it is because the RUU has returned your phone to being completely stock, therefore not modified, therefore no red text.

OK, I am wondering where I can get my RUU number......
Also, in this case, what I should do now? Install TWRP 2.6.0.0 and try to flash everything again?
Currently "tampered" is gone from my bootloader, only "unlocked" stays there.

Lol you've kinda mashed my quote in with your post there so it's hard for people to see where they begin and end.
What do you mean you want to get your RUU number? Like I said an RUU is a program, what exactly do you mean?

Because some posts are saying RUU 3.17 or 3.18, so I got confused...... but as long as it's a program, I will assume they are talking about the firmware or bootloader after running RUU 3.17 or 3.18 upgrade.

I fixed the qoute

Just to be clear, after you ran the 3.18 RUU you booted the phone without making any modifications and the problem was still occurring, right? It seems to me that it might be some kind of hardware problem that's causing a sleep of death every time the phone goes into sleep mode.

That's right, I didn't even flash recovery... Well, my stock rom just self-rebooted, and stuck at booting animation while adb is still able to recognize it, and I can issue a reboot from adb. This also applies to my sense 5 roms.
If it's hardware problem, looks like upgrading to hboot 2.15 ruined my hardware, which is hard to believe...... Everything works fine before I upgrade my hboot to 2.15

Unfortunately it isn't under warranty anymore either.

Confirm your hboot and baseband version and post here. You said it upgraded, but let's make sure it actually was completely successful.
Also, I think TWRP 2.6.3 has some bugs, not sure if AROMA is one of them. You might check the TWRP thread. But I believe other 2.6.x versions are very stable. I've been on 2.6.0 for a while, and everything seems to be working great, and don't remember any bug reports on that version.

Yeah I can confirm I've seen folks with bugs on 2.6.3 but I've been using 2.6 for months and not a single problem (and no reports of bugs from others).

Will TWRP 2.3.3.0 solve my problem? It looks like most roms recommend this recovery.... btw I'm running 2.6.0.0 at the moment.

No, changing TWRP won't solve your problem. You said you're using TWRP 2.6 now and that version is fine. I'd suggest trying one more time to do a clean flash, so wipe cache/dalvik cache/factory reset/system and install the ROM. Hell, do the wipe two or three times to be sure before installing.

lol thanks... Every time before I flash a new rom, I just format everything...

I don't know what to tell you then. There's nothing wrong with the ROMs you're using so it's either a case of user error or hardware failure of some kind.

HTC ONE S (S4) - Need Expert Assistance

Hi fellow XDA members. I am new to the HTC community so i can be considered as noob. A friend of mine gave me his HTC One S to try and fix it.
Currently i can get into the bootloader (its unlocked with HTC dev, and shows as tempered). I did a factory reset but this does not change anything. When i try to start the phone it sometimes loads correctly, but it can't last more that a minute in android. It freezes and starts rebooting several times. After that i can only shut it down through the bootloader.
These are the phone details:
(bootloader) version: 0.5
(bootloader) version-bootloader: 2.15.0000
(bootloader) version-baseband: 1.15.50.05.29

After a lot of reading over the pass 2 days i realised that this phone is an S4 version (vle and it has a 1,5 processor).
From what i see the previous owner has flashed an S3 rom to an S4 handset.
If this is the case, can the phone be recovered from the DEAD????:angel:

Pretty much from what I can tell SOL for now. Tampered with s-on means that it was S-off previously. Plus the 3.16 firmware can only be flashed with S-off. Currently there is method to S-off 3.16. The easiest way to fix most issues is with a RUU but since 3.16 firmware was leaked and not official, there is no RUU at this time either.
I had the same problem previously but I was able to send it back to tmob for a warranty exchange.

Thanks for your reply. I do have some good news and bad news.
Good news is that i have managed to flash a 3.16 RUU.exe for S4. Tampered has gone (relock is still present).:victory:
Bad news is that phone does not boot to android and when it does is only for a few seconds. The more time is left switched off, the more time it can last in android. Even with safe mode, it still reboots.
I guess is a hardware problem.:crying:

What happens when it boots. Full android then turns off or stuck on HTC white screen. Does it say any thin?

Hi.
Looks like a hardware issue to my, but there is more things to try.
It's good you have ran 3.16.401.8 JB RUU. You can S-OFF your phone now.
Can you run fastboot getvar all again and paste it here. Just to make sure the firmware in RUU was flashed correctly. If it was your hboot should be 2.15 and radio 1.11.

Ok. I would try this. Run .8 RUU again. After that get root (or flash some jb 4.1.1 sense Rom) and flash unsecure kernel, like bulletproof for JB.
Then make sure you have supercid
and use facepalm method to get S-OFF. Then try downgrade to ics or upgrade your firmware to jb 4.2.2. I think it's worth a try.

[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
Sent from my HTC Butterfly s using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

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?

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.
