[Q] htc one S red exclaimation during update or recovery - HTC One S

OK i got a ONE S last night and its on android 4.0.3, there was an OTA update available so i downloaded it and installed it but during installation suddenly the green logo changes to a red triangle with exclamation. I have tried factory resetting and again installing but the problem persists. i can get in that boot-locker page and also when i click on recovery i get the same green logo which changes to red triangle. Phone is working fine, but i need to update to jelly bean. On the boot locker page, on the top its written locked, Hboot-1.13. I think the phone is not rooted everything is stock.
Sorry for my vocabulary.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, this is giving me a serious headache.

I'm assuming you are in the US and on TMobile.
http://www.htc.com/us/support/news.aspx?p_id=463&p_name=htc-one-s-t-mobile
Scroll down to:
Manual system update instructions:
Follow the instructions to download HTC Sync Manager to your pc.
download the file at the bottom of the page. (download, in green font)
that is the Ruu.exe that you will run on your pc and will walk you through the update process.
It will delete all information from the device. (bye bye pictures, videos, music) save those to your pc before hand if your are able.

No, it doesn't require a rooted device.
If you go to HTC website does it offer you a similar manual update solution for you?
Since your phone is new, I am directing you to HTC website because that way you will not void your warrantee.
If you bought the phone from a local store I would go back there and show them what is happening. They will be able to correct the phone and if something goes wrong it is on them and not you.
If you bought it online, I would call support and have them try and help. Again that way you are able to return it if something is wrong.
Otherwise
http://www.androidruu.com/
you would need to know which version of the HTC One S you have (ville/ville C2)
And be able to match your CID to the correct RUU.exe
But I would not recommend that since your phone is brand new.

Ok,
Like you did before, go to bootloader and tell me what you have there.
What CID is your phone?
I'm thinking you have a S4 version of this phone as you stated your hboot was 1.13
for example mine is different, but looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And yes, you will be able to factory reset it after running a ruu.exe

Where did you get that phone?
That phone is S-Off (security off)
SuperCid
People would pay extra $ for that.
So basically you can flash any RUU you want. Your phone isn't going to care.

If you install HTC sync Manager from the HTC website it will install the drivers.

if you only want to install the driver
from there once you have downloaded a RUU.exe
have your phone in bootloader mode
plug your phone into PC
it should say fastboot USB (see in my picture it says HBOOT if you press power button it will enter into fastboot mode)
On your PC, double click the RUU.exe file and it will open up a installation dialogue to walk you through the rest.

Yeah, if you are all about running the various Custom ROMs that people have developed here you will be using boot.img and recovery.img to install particular ROMs.
But you don't need to worry about that right now.
By the way, I am so impressed with all of the people who come to this site who speak more than one language. I realize that most people in the world do speak more than one language. But still, it is very impressive to me.
Hopefully that Europe ruu has a suitable language for you.

A quick google of that error code on windows 8 does show a lot of frustrated people.

Hey, I know it's been a few weeks and I don't know if you gave up or solved the problem.
I was mistaken about S-off devices easily will run any RUU.
You need to match the CID to the RUU you are going to flash. Which is easy to do when you are S-off
Here is a guide

[FIXED] Flashing Issues with Security Unlocked / Not For Resale phone (Error [340])

UPDATE:
I managed to fix it by first running the ACDU fix and then installing the European RUU over it! It even updates now!!
ACDU.exe (click the button on the right to download)
Released RUUs for HTC 8X (make sure to get one that corresponds to your device!)
KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS HAS WORKED FOR ME AND MY SECURITY UNLOCKED DEVICE,
THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT IT WILL WORK FOR YOU
IF YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE, IT'S ON YOU.​
Steps:
Put your device in the bootloader screen by powering it off, and then turning it back on while holding the vol up + vol down buttons simultaneously.
Connect the device to your computer and let Windows locate and install the driver needed. Wait until the driver is fully installed and/or you can see the word USB written on the bootloader screen.
Run the ACDU.exe file and let it do its job (This supposedly unbrands your phone!). It should restart a couple of times showing a green screen and then eventually go into the bootloader menu. It might say something like "UEFI for Key Provision ONLY" in red letters, ignore that.
Run the RUU you've downloaded and if everything goes as planned it should flash correctly. If not, make sure you've downloaded the correct RUU for your device and that it's not corrupted.
Enjoy your (unbricked and) updatable security unlocked device.
I hope this helps!!

Hello,
I have an HTC 8X that appears to be security unlocked and therefore could not receive updates.
In my infinite wisdom, I decided to try to flash the European RUU that has been released in the internet, hoping it would allow me to update the phone further. I did not proceed unprepared and I did indeed check that the phone was European (it initially had the OS version: 2.00.401.03) so it looked as if everything matched.
However, after starting the update, RUU flashed some UEFI related files and then the phone restarted. It started up and resumed the main firmware flashing process, stopping at the 1% mark and restarting back the bootloader.
The error code reported by RUU is the following:
Error [340]: ENCSS_VERIFY_ERROR
SSD Error, please flash subsystem does not encrypted image
The error message is kinda incoherent and I can't find anything about it (except in a thread in XDA, where someone states that this might be because I need an American firmware?), what's worse is that I'm left with a soft-bricked device that I can do nothing with since it can only boot to the bootloader.
The device is unlocked, unbranded and security unlocked (CID: 11111111), yet I'm still stuck.
If I try to flash only the UEFI stuff (by removing the RUU .nbh from the directory), the device is then able to boot to the HTC logo and get into the dual gear screen, where it gets stuck. The hard reset option does not seem to work at all, the phone restarts at the HTC logo if I keep the vol down button pressed. Strangely, I can get into the lightning screen but I dunno what that might do.
Did I mention that the device cannot shutdown? Yeah... It only restarts...
Does anyone know any way to fix this? Or why this might be occuring?

I've managed to fix it and I've included the solution in my first post. I hope this helps.
This just skips the CID check.
You can also change the CID by command to like HTC__001 and get the OTA's and be able to install RUU's the normal way.

Ah, that's unfortunate. I don't know of a way to bypass the version check. =/ I don't understand why they're making things so difficult for end users. If you're flashing a full ROM, then you don't care what the previous one was... The only thing I can think of is that maybe on each update they blow a fuse so that you can't go back, like on the Xbox360

Well, unless we can find a way to bypass the OS version check set by HTC (or MS?), I guess you're stuck. =(
I was thinking of updating to 8.1 but after the whole ordeal above, I said "**** it, I'll get it when it's updatable! I'm not taking the change of bricking it again.."
..This captcha thing is starting to get very annoying...

I don't have the ACDU file but I was able to unlock my phone using the ACDU_UEFI_PROV_KEY.nbh file.
1. Download ACDU_UEFI_PROV_KEY https://mega.co.nz/#!UlMS1CyQ!rX-5-U6mmBHncVw6etFYeuSuV-OLX1De-jgkgEGf6FU
2. Put the ACDU file in the same directory as the ROMUpdateUtility (move the other .nbh files to another folder)
3. Run ROMUpdateUtility.exe
4. Phone should flash and unlock
5. Delete the ACDU_UEFI_PROV_KEY file
6. Move the UEFI_signed.nbh and RUU_signed.nbh files back
7. Run ROMUpdateUtility.exe again to flash ROM
Can someone upload ACDU.exe fix file again??
please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Q] Bricked, only fastboot is working

Hello.
My English is quite bad, and I'm sorry for that. Anyway, I hope that someone of you can help me with my problem, and will understand what I wanted to say.
So, at first I unlocked bootloader. After that, with InsecureBootandRoot script I wanted to root phone. When I did it, in "cmd" it stuck on "Daemon started successfully".
From then, I can't run my phone. Bootloader is working, fastboot USB aswell. I tried to install few recoverys, but none of them were working. ADB is also not working, it can't see my device(Probably because it's not working in fastboot. And if my phone is not in fastboot, computer don't recognise my device). Also, I can't "throw" any files to phone because computer see my device only in fastboot.
I tried to use HTC ONE S AIO kit . It show me my CID(HTC 0_32) and version(3.16.401.8), but that's all. Other commands are not working at all.
I also installed sdk and all drivers. That didn't help, meh.
Any ideas what should I do to have my phone working again? :c

Any ideas what should I do to have my phone working again? :c

There is no matching RUU, but i will upload you the matching boot+recovery. Will take some minutes. Download both files and flash them via fastboot.

I should add that my phone is S3.
Anyway thanks for the answer, didn't knew someone is going to help me so fast :3.

then dont flash the files. I'll have a look for the matching files.
Are you sure you have a ville c2 (S3) ??? Because 3.16.401.8 is the official EU S4 Jellybean release...

oh well, I'm quite shocked.
When I bought this phone, they told me that it's 560e.
But I looked now, and it's Z520e.
Sorry for that, didn't knew that I have S4. Can you upload files for S4 again?

I have checked the link. The script "only" flashes a kernel (boot.img) + Superuser app. Flashing a new kernel should work for you. What command did you use to flash the boot.img ??
fastboot flash boot boot.img and then fastboot flash boot recovery.img
I'll try uninstalling sdk and all drivers, and then install them using tutorial from this forum. Maybe it will be easier, when adb will work .-.

Did you restart the bootloader after flashing? Have you cleared caches via fastboot also??
BTE adb will not help you without at least a working recovery...
Which command I should use to restart it?
And yeah, I cleared caches.
And thanks for trying to help me, I really appreciate it. U're wasting your time because some teenager destroyed his phone ._. . Oh god, I'm stupid.

When I tried to run bootloader, it showed me this:
Thats PhilZ CWM Perfect, you have a working recovery I'm off for 30 minutes. I can assisst you via Teamviewer when i'm back, if you want.

Not at all, these commands under it mean that anything in recovery won't work.
Also, from now I can't even start bootloader ._. .
Oh well, I'll just give this phone to the service. If they can't turn it on, and also turn on bootloader, can they say to me something like "Hey, you tried to change system of this phone so we won't give you another one"?. :c

Philz has a option to boot into bootloader. Have you tried it? If you give it to service they'll recognize that you have modified thze phone. As you were able to flash philz, you should also be able to flash boot+recovery image. Then you'll have to perform "factory reset + clear storage" to fix the sd card issue. I'm sure its possible! Once done you can install a rom manually or change the CID to run a stock RUU EU unbranded.
As your warranty is void I'd suggest to fix it o ya own

the thing is i don't know if adb/fastboot is working on windows 10
there was connectivity issues even on windows 8/8.1
also AFAIK there are no drivers for windows 10 yet
if you want to make your simcard free for any network S-OFF is mandatory
you must make adb/fastboot to get working
and i think windows 10 is a problem
by the way have you enabled usb debugging mode from settings?

xt926 stuck at Motorola Dual Core logo

I've not dealt with Moto's before, All my previous phone's have typically been Samsung, Nexus, and currently my LG G3.
My mom has a Verizon XT926 that from what it sounds like started an OTA update and is now stuck at the red circle, white M logo screen, that says "Dual Core"
I would call myself pretty android savvy, and have tried everything I've found so far without any luck.
Here is the current situation:
I can get into recovery, and fastboot
I have tried using RSD Lite to flash multiple versions of the stock ROM without any success
I have tried using HouseOfMoto method, also without any success
I read through SamuriHL's thread here and at droidrzr.com and tried every possible suggestion without any success
Here is a screenshot of RSD Lite
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Also, after attempting an RSD Lite flash, the error message on the phone is:
failed to read signature for partition aboot
downgraded security version
update gpt_main version failed
preflash validation failed for GPT
I thought the above error meant that I was trying to downgrade, but I have even attempted to flash the latest image of VZW_XT926_4.4.2-KDA20.62-10.1_CFC_1FF.xml and it still fails.
From a few of SamuriHL's posts, i get the feeling this phone has a "corrupt partition table" issue that I don't believe anyone has been able to find a solution for.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks guys!
.10 is not the most current OTA, that's why you're getting the downgrade error. Look in the general section for the thread with the .15 update.

Same deal, phone returns "fail"
This time it doesn't specify that its a downgraded security version, it just flat out fails. Pretty sure the OTA fried this thing. Oh well.....

you apparently missed some key points in your research, obvious just by looking at your screenshot.
you need to completely remove the "tz" and "gpt" lines from the xml file, then flash again.
your having a pretty basic issue, thats fairly easily fixed.
.... and yes, if it comes to it, i can easily guide you to fixing the partition table, but that doesnt appear necessary at this point.

it has been said by myself and others easily a hundred times, i would rather not dig through threads looking for it.
when we post certain tools and firmwares, we just remove those lines before you get them to avoid this issue. but firmwares posted more for general use will still have those lines, as they are sometimes needed.
if you were to type "gpt error rsd android" into google, im sure there would be many post in threads suggesting the removal of certain lines from the xml as i have suggested.
hope that helps..
edit, added some search terms, just gpt error was too vague.

Already tried that, and DROID_RAZR_HD_Utility_1.4gpt KK, and DROID_RAZR_HD_Utility_1.3.gpt fix.
I'm pretty sure the phone is beyond repair. It just crazy to me because I've been using android since just after the Dream, and of all the horrible things I've done to them, I've never bricked one. Yet a simple OTA from Verizon on a bone stock Rzr HD bricks it, lol.

What is it doing can you get to the red motorola logo. If you can then try and plug in charger and while connected to charger, when it gets to the red M logo hold power and volume up and volume down at the same time. when screen goes off release right away and then as quick as you can hold the same three buttons untill you get to fastboot mode and then let go. if it gets to fastboot mode then it might just be a bad battery. If it does not then it is bricked and you would need a fastboot cable to get into fatboot mode and flash stock firmware and bring back the device to life.

6.0.1 OTA for stock rooted system

Hi, sorry if this is a stupid question, but I just noticed Sprint pushed an OTA for 6.0.1 to my stock rooted device (S-on) and I'm just trying to figure out what the best way to get this OTA is going to be. I'm assuming I shouldn't download and install the OTA as-is due to the TWRP recovery and root.
After looking around a bit, it seems like the only option available is to use a stock 6.0.0 RUU file in the bootloader and basically reset the entire device back to factory settings (losing all apps and data in the process presumably), installing the OTA, then re-flashing TWRP and re-rooting.
I guess what I'm asking is - 1. is this the correct way to go about doing this? and 2. is there any better alternative perhaps that doesn't involve losing my data?
Thanks in advance guys.
Been googling around for the last few days and scouring this board for just as long and still haven't come to a definitive conclusion. From what little I've seen the documentation on this seems kind of spotty and I'm just wondering which direction to head in. Any help on this would be much appreciated.
Safest way.. ruu back to stock everything take ota and re root/download apps etc...
Thanks for the reply, man.. Thats kind of what I had gathered pouring over all these articles and board posts. I went ahead and RUU'd back to 1.10.651.1 for sprint.. Literally just moments ago though I downloaded the OTA and hit install and got presented with an error screen during the update. Phone rebooted back into the system normally, and I went to check the version # only to see it unchanged, along with a prompt to install the OTA for 1.57.651.1 again.
Any idea why this might've happened or how to remedy it?

What was the error? You may have to relock bootloader to accept the ota...unsure of how they are with their device,GSM device I have doesnt need relocked...(S-Off as well so)

Also the 1.57.651.1 RUU is available... Why not use it?

Thats the weird part, it didnt give an error message, just that icon in the image I added to my last post. forelock the bootloader would be kind of surprising... Might give that a try in the morning after I find out if it can be re-unlocked.
EDIT: Ohhh I just saw your last edit, i didnt see that before, i'll use that then. Thank you!!!

Download the .651 ruu,reboot phone into download mode and run it... Should be up to date after that for a bit id think

How did you unlock it to begin with? HTC Dev site? If so then should be able to use the same unlocktoken.bin from before... Or can resubmit and get another one...

Thats precisely what I did. Unlocked it with the HTC Dev Token. I gotta admit, I was pretty surprised that I had an OTA so soon after getting the phone and unlocking / rooting it. Just when I had everything set up how I liked it
I just finished flashing the 651 RUU and its just optimizing the apps now, but looks like it should do it!

Actually.. I've hit another wall now tryign to achieve root with this. I've got TWRP back on the device, and I'm using WinDroid Toolkit to flash SuperSU to it. It'll show that it's pushing it, then drop into recovery and naturally ask for me to wipe the /data partition since it's encrypted, before proceeding to install the supersu.zip package.
The only problem is, there doesn't appear to be any supersu.zip anywhere on the device once it gets into recovery, either before or after the data wipe. Any idea where it's going?

And didnt mean that in a snotty,sarcastic way... Those tools sometimes cause issues that could be avoided is all I was getting at...
I want to join this conversation.
The A9 of my mom got is a Vodaphone UK version (cid: vodap001) and got the update message to version 1.62.161.2
I've rooted the device and installed TWRP.
So now i relocked the bootloader, installed the firmware.zip that was inside the OTA Download which i've copied from Update-App Path.
If i now want to manualy update the OTA-zip with fastboot in download-mode, i got Error 7.
If i want to update with original OTA updater Up, it stops at 25% with the red cross.
So what should i do now?
There is noch previous RUU-file for this firmware-version thats why i've already updated to the recovery from this OTA-update.
I hope someone can help with it.
Thanks,
Bond

I have to agree with Wonders_never_cease about the toolkits. I have used many different ones and they are great from a few things but not all things go right using them unlike adb/fastboot. You should have better results from using adb/fastboot here.
That being said.....it would be easier to achieve root by simply going to full stock using RUU or system/boot.img in fastboot, flashing TWRP, format data, reboot into TWRP, flash supersu 2.74 from your SD card either by itself to obtain normal root or follow steps here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63197935&postcount=2 for systemless root. it's that simple...or at least was for me. I never could get pushing supersu through adb right or to work really.

You will not be able to apply the OTA update if you are not completely stock including being with stock recovery. Having your bootloader unlocked will not be an issue so no need to relock it like you did. Use a system/boot/recovery.img to restore stock completely, or whatever RUU need. Then accept the OTA or flash it manually, then reroot. Thats really the only way you will be able to get that to work.....

Thanks for your answer.
But how to get complete stock without nandroid or RUU?
The Firmware.zip of the 1.62.161.2 OTA Update was installed without Errors. But as i already mentioned i Need stock System/boot-files of my last Version (1.62.161.1) to get this partitions to stock. And they are not available anywhere.

Ah so sorry, it was 4 am when i was replying so i missed that part on it installing correct, or confused it with the other question i was replying to at that same time haha......anyhoo....i looked for you as well and nothing was found on my end as well so I think you may be in the exact situation i was in when i bought the sprint variant of the A9. HTC has faults like all companies but the one that really pisses me off is their lack of proper support on ALL variants especially concerning firmware. The phone was released and i found NO RUU on their site or anywhere online and of course not many people had my specific variant which meant no one on here or anywhere had the means to get me the stock firmware i too needed to restore my phone.
The ONLY reason anyone here, who has SPRINT US VERSION, is able to then and NOW get the RUU on the HTC website is directly due to my incessant badgering and yelling at HTC damn near daily about having a handset on the market for sale but no firmware for it in case of tech service needs. You may have to do the same thing sadly.
I assume you have checked htc UK site for the rom downloads......contact their tech support and see whats up. Till then, like i had to when the sprint version came out....you'll have to just keep checking back on here and anywhere online for someone else who may post what you need or some other kind of solution.
Thanks mcbright80,
as you already said, HTC resists and says RUUs are only available in the US. I'm excited on their reaction that there are still lower RUU-versions of my UK-edition.
It is an annoying mess with all these different versions for tons of carriers, countrys and so on.
