[Q] HBoot 1.18.000 problems

I'm stuck
I got my Sensation back from repairs with 1.18 and pressed on and rooted. I now run rooted stock 2.3 with S-On but unlocked using HTC method (Revolutionary didn't work for some reason) and ClockWorkMod with SuperCID
This is where the problems started
I can't get S-Off
I have tried everything I can find (literally been on this for hours). I've tried:
Revolutionary 0.4pre4 (which fails to gain root - possibly because I've already got root)
HTCSuperTool (v3 of which appears to be broken, btw)
Downloading various firmwares and flashing them (using the PG58img.zip/bootloader method)
I've even tried running the RUU exe and pulling the rom.zip, renaming that and dropping that in the SD card
Running the RUU (both the latest T-Mobile UK and the latest ICS version)
The weird thing is that it reads the PG58img.zip files, loads them, starts to parse them then goes back to bootloader and doesn't read them again unless I reboot the bootloader
Update: Re-locked the bootloader and still can't run the RUU for ICS
Any ideas?

Anyone? Please help!

I've just been through all this after getting my phone back from repair. Mine came back with t-mobile branded rom version 1.50.110.2 and wouldnt s-off with revolutionary. Luckily the phone still had supercid so i flashed RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.50.401.1_R_Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2_release_228602_signed.exe and revolutionary finally worked. You can read my thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538324

Thank you, I'll try that (if I can ever get a slot on the FileFactory download server...)
I've got a 1.17 hboot.img from Kohr-Ar (used in one of the PG58IMG.zips), could I use fastboot flash hboot hboot.img to flash that or would i be left with a brick?

Ok, got the ROM and tried to flash but I forgot that I put the CID back to the T-Mobile CID. Now, I can't change the CID, I always get:
>fastbooot oem writecid 11111111

Afraid not. I tried all sorts of things - best I can say is do NOT try to flash your bootloader using the fastboot method - found that out the hard way...
I think flashing an alternative ROM may help but I'm not sure. Maybe contact the devs of Revolutionary - it just wants a way of skipping the Zerging Root stage in V0.5...

Find my post and do it step by step run ruu then change cid

Sensation woes - stuck in bootloader (no Android boot, no Recovery)

Hi,
Like, it seems, plenty of others, I messed up my phone by trying a custom ROM and then screwing up the "return-to-stock".
I have a T-Mo UK Sensation which was running GB 2.3.4 until I put Android Revolution HD 6.5.5 XE on it.
Basically I fell into the S-ON trap, and bricked the device. Wouldn't power on at all.
With help from Dexter from the unbrick project, I have managed to get the phone to load into Bootloader, but it won't load the Android OS, nor will it go into recovery.
I think the usual next step is to use latest RUU to flash a new ROM. Thing is, my phone is now S-ON and thinks it's a T-Mo UK phone again (CID T-MOB005, I think). And T-Mo UK's last released upgrade is ancient (RUU_Pyramid_TMO_UK_1.34.110.1). So there isn't a ROM that is new enough AND compatible with my CID number. I asked Football and he suggested he could get RUU_Pyramid_TMO_UK_1.50.110.2, but even that sounds like it'll be too old (I'm guessing it probably doesn't have HBOOT 1.27)
Could anyone advise if there's a way I can get my phone back?
Bootloader text as folows:
Code:
*** LOCKED ***
*** Security Warning ***
Pyramid PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.27.0000
RADIO-11.22.3504.07_M
OpenADSP-v02.6.0.2226.00.0131
eMMC-boot
Jan 13 2012, 17.33.34
Then the usual Vol Up, Vol Down instructions, and
BOOTLOADER
REBOOT
REBOOT BOOTLOADER
POWER DOWN
If I go into Bootloader these options change to:
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
FACTORY RESET
SIMLOCK
IMAGE CRC
But if I choose Recovery, it just reboots to Bootloader.
Would be really grateful if anyone can help me. I'm not v popular at home having spent hours trying to fix this mess (and getting pretty stressed about it!)

Hi,
I am not sure where exactly you want to end up.
But if you wanted to get an ICS ROM on your phone,try THIS THREAD

thanks for the suggestion. At the moment I just want a working phone. Don't really mind if it's ICS or not.
Just gone through the HTC Dev procedure. Was sceptical as adb devices didn't return any connected devices. But it got the code and I was able to get the token via email.
I sent the command fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin and it appeared to succeed. However, I didn't see the message in Step 13. The phone still shows bootloader and it still says ***Locked***.
The Step 13 message looks like an android OS thing - I wonder if I can't see it unless I can boot to Android?
Anyway, I pressed onto the section about flashing a recovery. Again, no device shows up in adb devices.
When I tried to flash the 4EXT recovery, I got an error message:
sending 'recovery' (6116 KB)... OKAY [ 1.507s]
writing 'recovery'... INFOsignature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 2.298s
Does this mean that the unlock hasn't actually worked then?

Hi,
Have you got the necessary drivers installed to use ADB.
Try using THIS TOOLKIT
It has the drivers,and an unlock section.

first of all confirm your CID
fastboot getvar cid command will give you cid
if its supercid (unlikely) or any other which has ICS ROM for it ..then you are lucky
other wise try the HTCdev method again...no need to get the unlock_code again
just use the one you got previously ...then reboot and see..hopefully it works

hi, thanks for various suggestions.
have tried the HTCDEV method a couple of times without success. I never see the Confirmation Screen shown in step 13 on the HTCDEV bootloader unlock procedure.
Definitely have the HTC drivers installed, have previously used adb successfully from this PC. Plugged in my old HD2 (running Android) and adb devices finds it ok.
Checked my CID as suggested, it's T-MOB005.
Tried downloading the toolkit suggested by malybru and didn't get any further - I think it just does the same thing (runs the HTCDEV unlock process).
One thing that's odd. I tried flashing 4EXT Recovery from command prompt. A "loading" bar showed up on the right side of the screen of the phone like it was working, but then I get the "signature verify fail" shown above.
I guess I can't use Revolutionary S-OFF as I can't boot to Android.
What can I do? Should I try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1469296 - Edit - actually it seems like that still needs the HTC DEV unlock to work ... which seems to be my problem :-(

have tried the HTCDEV unlock method quite a few times now. In the command prompt it appears to work successfully, but I never get the Android-like confirmation screen (I think this must be because my phone will not currently boot to Android).
As I think I need to unlock before I can flash anything else, I am stuck. :-(
Does anyone have a suggestion for another way to unlock it?

Given that T-Mobile UK have not given any date for releasing ICS, I have no notion of when I can fix my phone. Hence considering sending for repair - presumably replacing CPU or something would fix it? Any idea how much this would cost? (Using my old HD2 running a somewhat unstable version of Android is starting to drive me crazy).

now that we know that the stock rom flashed .(before brick)
get the 1.50 RUU and try to RUN it
how you do that
phone in fastboot ...connect it to pc and run the RUU.exe
if it still dint worked
then extract the rom.zip form RUU
http://www.htcsensationforum.com/htc-sensation-rooting/how-to-extract-rom-zip-from-ruu/
then keep the rom.zip in adb folder and flash it manually
manual flash steps
1.fastboot erase cache (if its failing ...ignore it)
2.fastboot oem rebootRUU (black screen with silver HTC)
3.fastboot flash zip rom.zip (pastebin the output if failed)
4.fastboot reboot-bootloader (check the bootloader there ..changed or not )

hi ganesh,
latest rom available that i can find (for t-mo uk) is 1.34. That ok?
cheers
EDIT: ok, so trying to run the RUU, it looks like it's going ok, starts sending the ROM to the phone, and then aborts with a ERROR [155]: UNKNOWN ERROR.
Will try the manual steps you gave.

2nd EDIT:
my bootloader displays HBOOT-1.27.0000 ... isn't the problem still that even 1.50 has an older HBOOT than this, and hence the rom flash fails?

yeah thats expected ...can you try one more thing ..can you just remove the hboot.nb0 file from the rom.zip (have a copy of it somewhere safe ..so that you can add later when required)
EDIT: also you need to edit the android-info.txt file ..change the HBOOT inside with te one you have i.e. 1.27.0000 then make the zip again then try flashing it sorry my bad there wont be HBOOT in the android-info.txt ..just cidnum ,modelid etc etc
then do the flash of rom.zip again

weird. I couldn't find that file in the rom.
the contents are as shown here

ok, tried this. unzipped, removed the hboot_Pyramid_8x60_1.17.0011_20110602_signedbyaa.nb0 file, rezipped. followed the four manual flash steps that you suggested, and got the following message in cmd:

Football can get me a TMO-UK RUU 1.50. There is a cost, apparently. Hence wondering if there's a reason why 1.50 should work when 1.34 doesn't, give - if i understand correctly - that neither is HBOOT 1.27.

HTC Sensation XE stock on HTC Logo

So my Sensation XE is not Rooted neither S-off ed... I unlocked the boot loader by htc Dev. I installed ClockWorkMod and did a backup. I tyied to installe a fireware and now when i press the power button, the screen gets stuck at the white screen with the HTC text. I restored from CWM, but still the same...And when i try to install a ROM it's say aborted.
I tried to flashboot with the boot.img of the ROM, doesn't work. I try to install a RUU ROM for my phone, it's gives me ERROR. Finally i tried to supercid my HTC with "fastboot oem writecid 11111111 " but looks like my bootloader wont let me supercid because it's gives me

Anyone knows what i can do??Do i have to find RUU for my cid (HTC_203) so I can flash anything??

Were you on gingerbread? If so you will need to flash an ICS rom and then flash the boot. IMG or install 4ext recovery and use smart flash. I'm on my phone so I can't link you to the firmware thread but you should be able to find it if you go to the reference thread in the Android development section.

Yes you need the correct firmware for the Rom, example: ics or 4.0.3 roms run on firmware 3.32,or 3.33 ( the newest version) anything Gingerbread runs on a different firmware. So if you flashed a ICS firmware you need a ICS Rom. Also read the guide to flashing roms with S On. You can find it here I'll include link for you. This guide will help you out. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861

I tried to flashboot with the boot.img of the ROM, doesn't work
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
what do you mean by that ?
what error you got ?
when you flash a rom while being SON ..you need to flash the boot.img separately if you are using CWM recovery
to flash the boot.img pf the rom separately
first connect your phone to pc from bootloader (phone should read fastboot usb after this)
then copy the boot.img to the adb/fastboot folder (the folder where you have adb.exe and fastboot.exe)
then open command window there (if windows hold shift + right click ->open command window here)
then type this command
fastboot flash boot boot.img
then reboot using
fastboot reboot
it should boot
also check the guide linked by realisis

Thanks a lot guys i followed the instructions of the thread u given to me and it did works I thinks my CMW Recovery wasn't working properly.

thanks for thi this thread itry

If your sure the cid was sucessfully changed (i used HTC_001) and you flashed stock recovery then relocked bootloader im all out of ideas. thats what worked for me.

Error 155 gets when either your bootloader is locked or u r using the wrong RUU
If you updated to jelly bean , sense 4+ and then rooted your ONE S and then installed other roms like CM10, etc, you will get error 155 if you try to use any RUU. Thats because your hboot is updated when upgrading to sense 4+,JB.
Thus to revert back to stock....
1. get stock ICS Sense 4.1 ROM,
2. flash stock recovery.
3. Use OTA update to jelly bean,Sense 4+.
4. Factory reset your phone to remove any non-stock stuff from the ROM.
5. you have STOCK Sense 4+!!
6. then if you want you can relock boot loader .( but I havent tried it, might cause problem)

Your hboot won't be updated unless it's a ota or a ruu am I right eg I was on 4.04 then rooted and installed trickdroid but I am still on the hboot that came with 4.04 ruu.

Always getting the same error message:
ERROR(155): UNKNOWN ERROR
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Androidphone
Please get the correct ROM Update Utiility and try again
Pretty obvious what I should do
But cant seem to be able to locate the correct RUU file
Any idea?
Many thanks

Wipe everything.Should be able to flash CyanogenMod 10. After that, change back the CID to VODAP001 (mmcblk0p4 and build.prop).

HTC One ME - no rom - twrp recovery installed - bootloader unlocked - s-on

Hi:
I have pretty much explained my position in header. so i rooted my htc one me m9ew and on restart it went to bootloop. i flashed recovery from there. now even if i try to flash any rom its still on bootloop. keeping in mind my bootloader is unlocked and S-ON. what should i do? any way to keep this phone alive?

Try Htc Ruu or the software from Htc i thinknit might be emergency flash but theirs something like that

I have managed to install custom ROM basically designed for HTC One M9+ since there is no custom rom for htc one ME edition. this new clean slate rom gives no signal and very buggy. in short i cant run normal phone operations on this rom. i tried installing RUU from htc_fastboot but it gives error 19 and i am unable to flash. i have tried many sources for this RUU file but in vain. any suitable suggestions to make this phone operational will be highly appreciated.

One more thing, do i need to relock bootloader to flash firmware???? getting following error:
(bootloader) HOSD CL#549681
(bootloader) ERR [SD_UPDATE_ERR] Main version NOT ALLOWED
(bootloader) ERR [SD_UPDATE_ERR] sddownload failed: 19

Try installing something through recovery another functional rom might not be what u want but get that running and then do what u are trying or try its recovery menu.
One of those should work if not try to look for a solution in one of the threads must be something here

I have managed to install RUU its working perfect but just there is no signals and no imei in OS, however, i can see it in boot menu. any advice?
