When I try to install a rom I have an error 155.
What can I do?
It happened when I installed the hboot revolutionary and after I installed the ROM "RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.5_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_219480_signed.exe"
I managed to put a hboot 2.00.0002 and unlocking with htc development
Thanks a lot.

Hi french mate
Please post threads like this one in General or Q&A section next time.
You have an unlocked hboot, so you can flash custom recovery with fastboot
4EXT recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130004
and then download and flash a custom rom.
You will find everything you want here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1146601

Unlocked and shop-on ? Does it mean you didn't unlock your device successfully? I'm not sure about this ,but I can flash custom Rom while my hboot is locked and ship-off . My point is that maybe the ship-off real matters . BTW ,the red triangle means your device has not a custom recovery . You can try the solution posted in second post and see whether it works .

No, that means he has the official HBOOT from HTC, and unlocked it via HTCdev method. That method doesn't s-off your device, but it allows user to flash custom recovery, rom or boot image via fastboot

Hello,
I'm install 4EXT recovery, it's OK
I'm installcustom ROM (Hyperion or Sense-Me), it's OK
But when I reboot, the phone don't boot on the ROM but always in recovery Mode.
I see the logo HTC adn the phone reboot in recovery mode (4EXT recovery).

The problem is solved
Thank you very much for your help especially Floatshow.
I flash the boot.img with Fasboot and the ROM to start.
And thank you for this forum

No problem

Bootloader still locked.

Hi guys,
I have a problem i followed the guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
to S-Off my new HTC Sensation XE from O2 which was succseful and as per the guide i chose N to the option to install Clockwork recovery.
When i then followed the steps to install recovery after it just will not work have tried many different methods including ADB but it just fails to install
after some digging i have discovered that unusually when i loot the bootloader screen it does say that the device is S-off however the pink bar at the top that normally says unlocked is saying locked which is why i am guessing any installs keep failing.
Anyone know how to fix this please, thanks in advance.

You've not fully S-OFF'd it yet...run Revolutionary it again until it asks you to flash CWM. Say yes to it and then you're good to go

Thanks for the reply, i tried that but it now says my device is not supported in revolution

The problem is, It doesnt download. ANd when i change it to another option it still does sweet FA.
Is there anywhere else download this, Specificully, the all other phones option?

THe main problem though is i've loaded REAPER 2.2 Mod with the 2.21 upgrade but it seems to get stuck on a boot loop while booting up
Any idea's?
SOrry for noob questions, I've never done this myself as i got a friend to do it before. ANd thanks for the help

Dude, you have just unlocked the boot loader.
HTC dev unlock process will not give you S-off, also can cause some warranty issues (don't be disheartened)
Now you need to download a custom recovery and flash it via fastboot.
I would recommend 4ext touch.
Then flash any custom ROM. The guide should have all the details.

I've done that, i used 4EXT_Recovery_v2.2.7_RC5.zip and thats ok. I cleared caches, Changed from 3EXT to 4EXT and then installed REAPER 2.2 then used update 2.2.1 over the top.
So i have 4EXT Recovery installed! I installed the ROM (off SDCARD) with this program and when i reboot it goes into a Boot Loop graphic and stays there.
4EXT Recovery Touch is just a touchscreen version of the one i used no?

Update: After reboot got FC com.android.phone.Switched to 3G and reboot and works good.Tomorrow will try new hboot and radio.

Success in flashing new hboot and radio.Having some issues with CM11 so I restored CM10.2.

I tried htcdev but my rom version is 2.10.401.8 and not listed on there

Is it now possible to S-OFF a Desire S since the revolutionary site is no longer active ? I can unlock the bootloader via HTCDEV but I'd like to get S-OFF if possible ?

Maybe a slightly naive question......but I obviously need to downgrade my HBOOT to achieve S-OFF on the phone via the Rev method.
Can I restore my HBOOT version back to 2.00.0002 without running another RUU through it or is there another method.
My MIUI ROM works OK under 2.00.0002 should expect problems if it it runs under an earlier version ?

[Q] [HELP] Installed CWM, factory reset, now can't flash Custom ROMs or Restore

I used One_X_All-In-One_Kit_v1.0 to install CWM then stupidly (I admit) and
drunkenly (I'm ashamed to admit) wiped data without creating a restore
point and when I flash custom ROMs and reboot my device freezes on the HTC
boot screen.
I've managed to locate my CID & MID (cid: ORANG001 & mid: PG5813000) and
have added them to the android-info.txt located in PG58IMG.zip but when I
boot into bootloader and select fastboot the update is found but parsed
rather than flashed.

If you've installed CWM for a different phone and wiped, then you're lucky it still works at all.
Install the right version of CWM right now.

It appears that you are HTC Dev unlocked. Because of that you will have to flash the boot.img via fastboot commands. Go to this guide to learn
how to do it.
But your Hboot version is supported by Revolutionary so I suggest you re lock your bootloader and then use Revolutionary to S-off your device before flashing the 3.32 firmware you will have to flash for any ICS ROM. Cause without you being S-off you will not be able to revert your firmware version. Plus if you are S-off your recovery can flash everything and you will not have to use fastboot to or Smart flash option in 4EXT.

I'm surprised your phone still works after using the One X method to root; considering the One X is a different phone.
Here the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 for reference to S-Off and stuff. I recommend you change you change your CID to 11111111 as well.
Change your recovery to 4EXT. Better in my perspective.

Firstly, thank you Rusty!, T-Macgnolia and You_got_owned123.
So, I've downloaded 4EXT recovery and will flash it and I understand that I need to be S-OFF before I can flash new firmware and if I change to Super CID I can flash any carriers firmware. But.... I need to be able to boot the phone to enable HTC Sync to run Revolution. Or is there a way to run it in Fastboot usb?
As soon as I achieved S-OFF I can change to SuperCID.

BOOM!
Okay... so, I flashed 4EXT recovery (which is much better that ClockworkMod) then flashed a Gingerbread ROM (Android_Revolution_HD-Sensation_3.6.13) as it was compatible with my existing firmware and flashed the boot.img for the 1.56 kernel then used Revolutionary tool to achieve S-OFF so I could flash an ICS ROM (Sensation_3.32.401.5_odexed), GAPPS and update the firmware. I didn't SuperCID as I knew the firmware was compatible but may do that later while it's fresh in my mind.
That wasn't so hard, phew!!!

Haha, good job. Just make sure you use the approperiate firmware when flashing ICS ROMS. ICS require a different firmware than GB does.

RUU Questions

I have a phone that I got which was locked to Telus, the root was messed up. I want to flash a RUU so I can update to the latest OS. I get that "developer red text" with the HTC logo in recovery.

Thanks

Those "tampered"and "unlocked" messages in bootloader are completely normal. That means you can now flash a custom recovery, and then from that recovery you can flash a custom ROM.
If you want to RUU for some reason, you'll probably want to s-off first. If you have SuperCID and are s-on, running an RUU could brick your phone.

My phone isn't rooted, I tried to flash a recovery file but that's when it messed up. I get the HTC logo and red text that says "This build is for development purposes only do not distribute outside of HTC without HTC's permission".
I cant get to the CWM from recovery. I also cant upgrade my OS from the phone itself I get that red text error and its just frozen there until I reboot the phone.
I relocked the bootloader and it now has a security warning thing.

The security warning thing went away now but I ran:

and got cid: TELUS001
Could I flash the Telus RUU now? Also if I got SuperCID and S-Off could I flash the Rogers RUU? Would that even give me data back?

Your CID is fine, and because you have relocked your bootloader you should be ok to run the RUU.
Have you triple checked that your apn settings are correct? That's usually the cause of a loss of data.
Sent from my Evita

No I didn't set that up yet haha that would be the reason why. Just did and it works now!
I'm going to wait for my phone to charge up some more before it run the RUU. Hopefully all goes well, and I can actually get my device properly rooted..
Thank you for your help

Running the RUU won't really help the rooting process. You could just unlock your bootloader again and flash a recovery. Just make sure it's a recovery for this device (Evita) because that may be where you went wrong in the first place.

Alright I downloaded the HTC One X(evita) All-In-One Toolkit
I will follow the steps on there
Do I have to do the Xfactor and MotoChopper steps?

Do you still have the unlock.bin from when you unlocked your phone the first time? It should still work.
Sent from my Evita

Yes I still have the email from HTC and I made a backup of the file as well
I just used that toolkit and went right to the unlock bootloader.
In the bootloader it is now
***Tampered***
***Unlocked***
I flashed TWRP 2.5.0.0 and put the SU files in my main directory
Worked!! Flashed the SU file and phone booted up properly now

You should be able to use it again to unlock your bootloader. Just go back to htcdev and do the last part where you enter the unlock.bin.
Then I recommend flashing TWRP 2.6 recovery from here.
Sent from my Evita

Should I just reflash 2.6 instead then? Do I have to remove anything or can I just flash over top?
Also I'm on 4.0.3 should I update the OS and then flash 2.6?

You can't flash TWRP until you've unlocked your bootloader, so do that first. Then flash TWRP by using the following fastboot commands:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-evita.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now you can either flash a superuser zip to have root on the stock ROM. Or you can flash a custom ROM.
Sent from my Evita

I got it all to work using the toolkit. I have superuser on my phone now. But I used the 2.5.0.0 file instead.
Do you think its wiser to update my OS and then reflash to 2.6.0.0?

You don't need to update the os, you can flash any ROM you like once you have the correct recovery installed. Just make sure you flash TWRP 2.6, because 2.5 has major bugs.
Sent from my Evita

Alright I flashed 2.6.0.0 now. Is there any custom ROM you would recommend?
Should I run the S-off commands in the toolkit before I flash the custom ROM?

It's against the rules to ask which ROM is best/most stable etc, so it's against the rules for me to answer something like that.
But...
If you're looking for a Sense based rom, look in Android Development section, there you'll find MagioRom (Sense 5), or if you want Sense 4 there's ViperXL, RageXL, and others.
If you're looking for a stock android/aosp ROM, look in Original Android Development. There's a whole bunch of great ROMs in that section, like Cyanogenmod, AOKP, Carbon, Rootbox, Slimbean, etc.
Have a look in the OP (first post) for each ROM, that'll tell you if there are any bugs and a basic rundown of the features, and any requirements you may have to fulfill for the ROM to work. Just find one that suits you best, and if it doesn't, you can just flash another.

Yes I believe that's right. First SuperCID, then s-off, then RUU. Once you've done the RUU, you'll need to reflash TWRP again.

Could you point me in the direction of the RUU file?
