[Q] Softbrick? - HTC One S

Hey guys!
so, i just wanted to get my HOS back to jellybean stock to get the latest HBoot and now have a big problem. I am S-On and had a O2 branded HOS, changed the CID to 11111111, relocked the bootloader to run the RUU, but now i am stock in the bootloader. My phone is Relocked as i said, S-On, fastboot USB works, but i cant boot to recovery, nor in my rom. i am also not allowed to unlock the bootloader or flash anything else, because i always get this error: " failed (remote signature verify fail)"
would be very nice if someone could help me..

Hi,
Were you s-off before?
What did you flash to make you s-on?
Last night I unlocked the bootloader n been having the same problem but mind say S-on n I don't know what's next
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
? im at a lost here little more detail
what did you use to unlock bootloader?
where you ever s-off?
where you rooted?
why did you flash the IMG.zip?
if you unlocked it then go to fastboot and make your CID 11111
and hopefully that will get you back on where you wanted to do?
cant give much help unless you give some details on what was your state of phoen before and what you wanted to do with it

Sorry to reply so late.
Previously, my phone was eng s-off and got super cid.
After i flash ICS firmware, bootloader was then locked.
After that i did some stupid things, the bootloader turned into "locked", "security warning" and s-on. I succeeded to unlock bootloader by htcdev and get rid of "security warning", at that time i can boot into recovery normally and wipe or flash roms. But it just can't boot into system. I tried fastboot commands to flash but failed just because "it is not allowed in the remote devices".
i tried PG58IMG files but the bootloader shows no image or wrong image.
Can you give me some advice? Thank you very much

My phone had been rooted and end s-off before things happened.
i flash IMG.zip to try to flash a rom( Somebody post that ICS rom can be flash by IMG.zip) or fix the bootloader problem. It's almost the only way to flash a rom for me
I checked the cid and it is still 11111111(Got super cid before) although bootloader is s-on.
Now the state of the bootloader is
1, unlocked
2,s-on
3,cid is 11111111
4,can boot into recovery
5,can't install PG58IMG.zip
6,fastboot command can't write anyting
7,if flash some rom, phone will be stuck at the splash screen which seems splash partition is writable
Thank you!

i don't know how to do either, but during solving my problem, i found something may be useful. If you want to unlock bootloader you can try htcdev. This can't s-off but just unlock bootloader.
And since your hboot is 1.20, you can try the zip file attached by this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20681060&postcount=22.
Because my hboot is 1.23 and isn't supported according to the above link, i didn't know whether it will help or not. You can take it into consideration
Hope you can solve your problem
ok find hboot 1.17 PD58IMG.zip, your truly not s-on, format your sdcard, then place the img in sdcard, and boot into bootloader, and you should be able run fastboot commands, you should still have custom recovery right?

I format the sdcard in fat32 format and place img that revert to hboot 1.17 in sdcard. Reboot into bootloader, but it shows "no image or wrong image".
I also try fastboot command but i don't know the command format. Would you give me an example please? Just a fastboot command to install img no matter s-on or s-off. Such as "fastboot flash hboot hboot.img".
My device is now s-on.

You mean you can flash leedroid now, don't you?
Can you boot into system?

[Q] [T-Mobile Branding] Can't achieve S-Off after replacement

Hi guys,
after I sent in my Sensation because of dust and a broken volume button they replaced the mainboard, don't ask why However after I got it back I tried everything to unlock th bootloader and achieve S-Off. If I try it via HTC-Dev it tells me "remote: unlock token check failed". Revolutionary doesn't support bootloader 1.27.0000. And if I try to downgrade it via the RUU it keeps telling me if I try on pc "Error: [140] Bootloader version error" and Main ID different if I put the PG58IMG on my sd and try it via the bootloader. I even tried this [http://www.xda-developers.com/android/unlock-virtually-any-htc-bootloader-without-voiding-warranty/]. It seems there is no way to unlock the bootloader at the moment. But if somebody has an idea, your welcome to share.
Thanks in advance

[Q] Problem with re-locking and flashing RUU

Hi, from what I understand in order to UN-ROOT phone, come back to stock/original factory state phone, I have to change CID to HTC__01 (which I didnt have to do it since my One S already has that . ) and then re-lock it by "fastboot oem lock" . so then you will be able to flash RUU onto HTC ONE S. well everything I have done right. on my bootloader it says TAMPERED and RELOCKED , then i go fastboot usb and opemn RUU exe file. while it updates, when it comes to "updating signature" I get ERROR. tried 3 differents RUUs and the same thing happens.
So heres my question. what am i doing wrong?

[q] relocked - security warning

Hello everyone,
I have a HTC Sensation with some problem to solve.
My phone is:
cid: H3G__001
mainver: 3.32.771.51
HBOOT: 1.27.0000
S-ON
I wanted to flash the original firmware of the phone and did:
Relocked the bootloader
flash RUU_Pyramid_H3G_UK_1.34.771.1_R_Radio_10.43a.9007.00U_10.51.9007.27_M3_release_197065_signed.exe
In the end there was an error with the verification of the signature.
Now the phone only boots to bootloader menu
I try to unlock it again with no success.
I tried flashing the RUU again and the same error appeared at the end.
In the top of the screen is:
*** RELOCKED ***
*** Security Warning ***
I can't flash anything to it.
Can anybody give me a clue how to solve this issue?
Thanks

with S-ON you can't downgrade your firmware version
your only way is to unlock the bootloader again
flash a custom recovery(i suggest 4ext)
flash a custom rom
unfortunately there is no an ics ruu.exe for your region

That's ok if I could.
But I can't flash anything.
I can't unlock the bootloader and I can't flash a custom recovery.
The phone is stuck in bootloader menu.
Is any way to unlock the bootloader but not using the htcdev method?

Problem with unlocking bootloader after S-Off Pyramid

Hi,
I have little problem... I unlocked bootloader by HTCdev, S-offed by JuopunutBear 0.5b (with wire-trick) and install unbranded firmware RUU 3.32.401.5. Now I'd like to flash CWM recovery, but I receieve an error "writing 'recovery'... failed (remote: not allowed)"... I also tried to flash it by KGS Utility v8 and this didn't work for me. Can I unlock bootloader again by bin file generated by HTCdev? Somewhere who wrote that it possible to brick the phone, but few people did it and nothing happened. What can I do? Any ideas?

actually why did you use a ruu.exe for flashing a custom recovery?
it was an unecessary step
nevermind
if you still are on S-OFF flash 3.33 iniversal from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
follow the instructions to the letter
and before flashing check md5 sums(important)
then you can install a custom recovery
another way is to install 4ext updater(link in my signature)
from the app download and install the latest version of 4ext recovery
edit: just to know when you are locked or relocked you are limited to some fastboot commands
I was flashed RUU because I wanted to delete Orange PL brand. Yep, I'm still on S-Off.
Can I flash by fastboot "PG58IMG 3.32 unlocked.zip" file (~14MB) to my firmware what I have now? It may unlock bootloader?

probably you can use it via fastboot command
but it would better to flash it directly from bootloader
I updated FW (PG58IMG.zip unlocked) via Bootloader, flashed CWM via fastboot tools and it works!
@rzr86, Thanks for advices. :good:
