Right, had desire s from three, alpharevx'd it installed clockwork mod, flashed eng hboot. Tried to flash RUU 1.47 europe on it, and it started to work and go through process, updated radio fine, then came up with CID error. No option to do anything but exit. Now I have a desire s that will boot into Bootloader, which has now s-on'd itself and upgraded to 0.98.0002.
Only method of comms seems to be via fastboot.
Now i cant flash the h3g one cos its too low a bootloader version, and i cant upgrade to a newer version cos one don't exist. Can anyone come up with a solution please??
Cheers.
What does HBOOT screen say (in full)?
Are you still able to get into recovery? If yes, then have you tried loading a custom ROM onto the SD card and simply flashing that using the flash zip from sd card option of CWM (clock work mod)?
Unfortunately I am unable to get into recovery, only bootloader, nothing else works. Hboot is displaying a security error at the top highlighted in pink, followed by the version number as described
You should have stuck with the alpharev hboot, which does not allow itself to be overwritten by RUU installs.
Anyway, you need to:
- install hboot 0.980000 (so you can run alpharevx again and get S-OFF)
- run alpharevx and reinstall CWM at the end
- DO NOT install the eng hboot
- flash whatever rom whichever way you want. Your hboot is safe

How can I run alpharevx when I can only boot into bootloader tho?
Try running it while in bootloader. Never tryed it that way, but I'm pretty sure it only needs the USB comms to be up, same as adb. Which they should be anyway in bootloader...
Have you tried to re-setup your phone by executing one of the RUU.exe?
k, as i expected, with no access to adb in bootloader mode, i am unable to do anything. Remember, i only have bootloader to work from. I don't eve3n have a recovery partition installed, it just comes back to bootloader whatever i choose, well, bootloader and fastboot anyway.
yup, tried running the ruu again but to no avail. Just get cid error. And i can't make a goldcard either cos i cant get the code. Might just send it back i think and act dumb :/
What about using the "normal" upadte procedure? Placing the PG88(whatever).zip on the root of the sdcard, and have the bootloader install it?
Of courtse with S-ON, it must be a signed version...
If all else fails s-off with xtc clip then flash custom rom

Have you tried to use the original RUU for your phone/network? I'm not sure if it would take care of the CID error.

I do not expect this to work, but you said you are able to get into recovery, correct?
Well, I would try to enter fastboot mode and try to flash cwm via fastboot -> fastboot flash recovery XXXXXXXX.img
Correct (windows) drivers installed?

Good suggestion! Try this one first.
The problem with trying my original ruu for my network is that it contains the lower hboot version, when i flashed the generic ruu earlier, it actually started the update and flashed the radio part, then informed me the cid error, of course, by this time it had updated the hboot too. So now i have a desire s with an upgraded hboot so i can't flash a new one because of cid error and i can;t go back cos it reports a hboot version error. Where do i look on the system for the p88ing.zip now? can't remember now!
I haven't run a RUU in years, but I think that when you run it on a windows machine, it extracts a bunch of files to a directory. Cancel the process, find the directory, find th PG88... in the directory... You get the drift.

It is not relevant which network you are using !!! Just try newest RUU to get control over your phone again in the first place!
Even if you don't get any network access after setup newest RUU you will definitely be abte to execute alpharevx again, flash cwm and flash any stuff you want to.

I guess that means you tried flashing recovery via fastboot?
Then concentrate on our RUU-suggestions.
Yes, as i said, flashed via fastboot, and i already explained that i cant up/down grade via ruu method because of bootloader version. I can't think of a way out of this as it stands. The only thing that may work is doing it via the p88img method with my original 3uk rom, but i cant find it in my temp files, searched everywhere for it. I've seen it's location posted on here before now, and i've searched it to death and can't seem to find it now
I'm going to extract and upload your 3GUK-PG88*.img although I think you'll need an newer one. Just a few minutes of patience.
Hi, I want to flash a development RUU, but everytime I try, I get Error [155]. This RUU is supposed to have 1.13.0000 bootloader version, but I don't know how to update from 1.06.0000 and if it may cause the error.
Any suggestion about it? Thanks in advance.
You're talking about ONE S, right?
Right, HTC One S
Well first of all is the chosen RUU compatible with your CID ?? If it isnt it will fail so you need to download one that is compatible, Or change your CID to match the one inside the RUU..
Secondly, If you haver done this and still get the error, Try to run the RUU from fastboot.
Oh and also, RUU requires a LOCKED / RELOCKED bootloader and sometimes stock recovery too !

Yes, I have the same CID that is inside the RUU.
Could you tell me how to run it from fastboot?
I'm trying almost everything I can (locked, relocked, unlocked, stock recovery...), even I'm trying now to update to the latest OTA_Ville_U_HTC_Europe_1.78.401.2-1.53.401.2 (now I have 1.53.401.2 from Orange Spain) as it has a firmware update (maybe hboot 1.13.0000?) what I think that can be one of the reasons why I can't flash the rom I need.
Thanks in advance!
boot into bootloader and connect USB cable, Select fastboot and then run the RUU on your PC.
Make sure bootloader is locked BEFORE running the ruu

Yes, it's something I've already tried. Another problem I'm trying to solve is when installing from stock recovery, cause it says sdcart can't be mounted...
What are you trying to install from Stock Recovery ?? you cant flash an RUU and all flashable zip files MUST be signed otherwise it will fail..
I also had the cant mount sd card error in stock recovery, But when i tried CWM i didnt.. Dont know much about how stock recovery works, I just know i dont like it lol
lol, me neither!!!
I'm trying to install a stock rom, so I am supposed to do it from stock recovery, that's the matter. But I can't do it because it can't mount sdcard. I'm getting crazy, but now it is something personal, between the phone and me!!! I'll try to be patient and find the solution.
Stock ROM ?? How have you obtained this ? has someone posted it in a flashable .zip file ? If so, You need to flash it via CWM Recovery THEN flash stock recovery through fastboot.
If the Stock ROM is a Nandroid you will also need to restore this using CWM Recovery. THEN flash stock recovery after.
If the Stock ROM is dissected from an RUU you will need to flash this via bootloader, BUT unless you have a S-OFF phone (which i doubt you do cause there is no S-OFF yet) It wont work.

Ok, it is the third option, and evidently, I'm not S-OFF. I had read a thread where they dissected this zip and I thought it was useful. Now I have found the RUU, I will try to install it. I've changed the zip and relocked it but I'm still finding Error [155]
Its useful if you are S-OFF, You just extract the ROM.zip from the RUU, Rename it to the phones model number, So in our case it would be PG40100.img ( i think) and then flash it in bootloader. However ignore this option as it wont work with a S-ON device...
If you still get the Error 155 message and you're positive you've done everything correctly, Maybe download the same / another RUU, Chances are it could have been a bad / corrupted download It happens to us all !
Ok, finally I solved it. I found original RUUs for HTC_Europe 1.53 and 1.78
Firstly, I changed my CID to HTC__001, extracted recovery.img from 1.53 RUU, flashed it, relocked the bootloader and installed the 1.53 RUU... and it worked!!! After that, nothing special to say installing 1.78 (hboot and radio updated!)

I have done exactly (!!) the same, but you know, I have Hboot in version 2.15. And I can run none of RUUs, because I think they are not compatible with this version of Hboot (And this is that Error 155 for me). Well, so what can I do for installing the Stock RUU to my One S ?
Hi i have a big problem with my new htc one s
i follow all instructions: clear data, factory reset, install rom, then install boot.img
Roms boot until it shows wallpaper and top toolbar with the battery icon and time, then can read preparing phone storage.... and an error appears asking me to wait or close system process
The rom restarts and stucks at this point dont know what else do, i try installing stock recovery and clear data factory reset and try install with 3 versions of recovery whith same result, have tried some different roms and its the same.
Wonder if anyone knows what i have to do solve this..
Thankyou in advance.

This is a development section, its not the place for questions.
Which roms did you try to flash? Did you flash the correct boot.img
Sent from my HTC One S using XDA
thanks for your answer
Yes i flash [ROM][ICS] |June 13th| Energy™ -.¸¸.·´¯ Blue with the boot.img from the downloads
and [ROM] Ir2 1.78.401.2 - HTC One S Stock ROM DUO [Deodexed-Updated-Optimised]
When finish flasing from recovery reboot on fastboot and flash the boot.img and always is the same result.
I've tried to change to stock version of recovery and wipe all, reset to factory default then flash custom recovery and start the process but is the same.
when i whipe from stock or custom version of recovery there isn't any error message.
thankyou very much.
you don't flash the boot.img from recovery--read OP
boot.img
I flash it from fastboot not installing a zip from recovery. I also try installing by script like on [ROM][ICS] |June 14th| Energy™ -.¸¸.·´¯ Blue that there is an script that makes the installation always from fastboot

Hi, find a way to make my htc one s woking again
This is the solution:
first i've to change my CID because my phone is from ORANGE spain and cannot flash a official RUU.
for this i follow this tutorial
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26516911#post26516911
Second flash stock recovery and lock boot
finally i've downloaded the last europe RUU, and execute it.The process works like a charm and in 15 or 20 minutes my one s was working again.
Now i have lock boot, stock recovery and unrooted phone and have one question:
for root my phone again have to unlock and flash a custom recovery, and then.....
should I need to put back again stock recovery and lock boot for working an official RUU?? or can work without problems with unloked boot an custom recovery?
Thanks in advance.
Hey I have the exact same issue but running RUU didnt solve it. I have the US Tmobile Htc one s, S-off, supercid, hboot 1.14. I could load custom roms and mount usb storage only through recovery. my sd card does not show in fastboot. However, my phone never completely boots. It goes all the way to the lockscreen, allows me to pull the ring, then gets stuck on preparing phone storage. Flashing RUU does the same.
can anyone help?

I have the same problem any ideas?
anyone know of any gurus in the forum knows how to fix
I've been trying for a month
any rom to put loads and after a 10-20sec reset
For you with sd-card problems, have you tried to flash stock recovery and then boot to bootloader and choose clear storage? It worked for me.
If you installed a RUU, ofcourse you already have stock recovery.

For about some days, I flash an RUU when I was still s-off and boot-unlocked, then I flash twrp-recovery, make the adb thinks with mmcblk* (dd flash) and flash again a RUU. As you can read here.
But same boot loop problem with "Preparing Phone Storage...".
Because dd flash (the mmcblk* file) under linux and with startet recovery did not solve my bootloop / prepairing sd card problem (I had still access to my sd card with twrp-recovery! All the time!) I really think about to enable s-on
I am only scared when I do:

Hey guys
I've got a bit of a situation. A friend of mine gave me this sensation (carrier T-mobiel) wich was all but bricked. Since I have some experience rooting and flashing custom ROMs, he asked me to give it a try at reviving it.
The owner had been messing around a bit himself and he managed to install clockwordmod recovery. Don't know if he installed any ROM, the device gets stuck on splashscreen.
I did the following; full format, superwipe and install a ARHD ROM. result was te same; stuck on splash-screen.
Then I did another full format, wipe and installed Cyanogenmod, still the same result.
I wanted to try and install 4EXT touch recovery, but the device doesn't respond to any USB connection method so ADB won't work. there's no working ROM so installing through the app won't go either. basicly, I don't know if there's a way to uninstall and install a recovery through flashing.
I have another phone to use to store required files on a SDcard.
these are the things dat DO work:
Bootloader, fastboot and clockworkmod recovery v5.8.0.9
this is the device's bootloader information

PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.18.0000

my guess is that I'm trying to install ROM's that don't work with the current firmware. I don't know if the owner installed the OTA ICS before he got these problems. But I don't know what firmware is currently on this this device, and how to check it.

Hi,
2 things you can try.
1.Run a GingerBread RUU.
Look HERE
2.If that works,try s-off.
Look HERE
Then,you could change firmwares and do whatever you like.
Hi Malybru,
I understand what you suggested and I'm currently working on it. Only I can't find the right RUU for this phone.
Current CID is: T-MOB003
getting it superCID'd was no go since I can't get it S-OFF with the revolutionary utility. is there another way to S-OFF the phone besides revolutionary?
edit: I downloaded and executed a RUU that apearantly wasn't compatible with the phone. I'm guessing it removed whatever ROM was installed, but didn't install the ROM from the RUU.
I also followed step 3; RUU to restore stock up to the part of relocking the bootloader. I didn't come any further cause I can't find the right RUU.
the phone now only boots into bootloader with "security warning" displayed below "relocked".
I'm guessing, if I find the correct RUU with gingerbread, things will be okay again.
on a sidenote, does a RUU install also returns the recovery to stock?

Hi,
RUU does not matter too much as long as it is Europe and GB.
If you can find a dutch tmo ,then even better.
No harm will come if it is the wrong one.
It will only throw up an error.
This will at least get a ROM on your phone,so that you can s-off .
Revolutionary is the easiest way to s-off.
so, to summarize:
the RUU has to be TMO for either UK or EU. Does the radio need to match the one that's currently displayed in the bootloader?

Hi,
The closer the match,the more chance of success.
But close will do.
Yes,with the same radio.
finding a dutch RUU with this radio for TMO is pretty challenging. So I tried it with a german version (DE). Other then that it matches the radio, and the carrier.
the first method through the RUU.exe failed, it tells me to get the right RUU for my carrier/phone.
So I tried it through flashing with a SDcard. I changed the CID in the notepad file in the PG58IMG.zip to T-MOB003. In bootloader, it checks the file twice and after that nothing happens, the regular bootloader screen is prompted.
Then I tried to flash it through fastboot CMD command, pretty much my last option according to the guid you linked me. This also fails with the notification that it failed to verify 12 signatures.
now I found some universal firmware packages but they don't seem to contain any ROM and recovery, only firmware. are there any of these universal packages as complete RUU?
or is there a way to bypass the signature check with a fastboot command?

Hi,
Try the European RUU with the 10.14 radio that matches yours.
Add your CID in the PG58IMG text file.
Make sure you have the phone in fastboot when you attach your USB cable(it should say "fastboot USB"),and start running the RUU from your PC.

Here is a link to 4ext touch recovery as a IMG. http://db.tt/KFKpcrhB and here is a pg58img.zip. put the zip file onto the sdcard and boot to boot loader. It will hopefully flash the recovery. If not fast boot flash the IMG. Once you have the recovery installed enable smart flash and then flash the roms. Hopefully that will work for you

tnx for the files.
I tried the suggestions you made but flash from sdcard doesn't work; it checks the file once and doesn't do anything after it.
when I try to flash either one of the files through fastboot I get signature verification fail.
my bootloader says RELOCKED, I got that after following step 3.1 in the RUU flash guide to return to stock. I don't know if this is blocking anything from being flashed with the nasty signature notifications?
also, most like because nothing is installed on my device, when I plug in the USB cable when it's turned off, it automatically swithces on displaying SECURITY WARNING below RELOCKED.
Damn, wasn't fast enough. I'm not sure what the best way to approach this is. Either attempt to full s-off the device with revolutionary/ jupuntobear, or re-unlock your boot loader with htcdev, then fastboot flash the recovery. Then install the rom. Then run jupuntobear to full s-off

heavy_metal_man said the right thing. First focus on unlocking it on hTCdev.com and afterwards, flash a 4Ext Recovery to make things easyer. Then put the device in bootmenu (not in the Graphic shell) and attach a USB, start any Official European RUU that is Gingerbread - with 1.50 in the numbers.
an update
I managed to get it unlocked again with htcdev.com. After that I flashed 4EXT recovery, succesfully.
only thing now I need to do is installing a ROM. I tried the following without succes so far:
with RUU
I can't find a dutch RUU for TMO with radio 10.14.9035 anywhere so I tried the closest match possible, a german one. through the .exe method I get incompatibility errors. So I extracted the ROM/.zip, added my CID and tried with SDcard flash and fastboot flash, both unsuccesfull. Hboot checks the file twice and does nothing afterwards, and fasboot prompts the message "FAILED (remote ** unknown fail)"
Universal firmware package to make sure I'm on 3.32, so I can install ARHD 6.7.2 or any other ICS rom
I took one from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21711154#post21711154.
I get the same errors as when I was trying to flash the ROM.zip from the RUU, both with sdcard flash and fastboot flash.
a random Gingerbread ROM
I found this GB ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1226564.
I installed it through EXT4. after a reboot it's stuck in a bootloop. No splash screen is shown however, it get's to the withe-field-green-HTC-screen and reboots after, showing the same.
I don't understand what's wrong. I got a good recovery now and the bootloader is unlocked. For some reason the ROM's I tried are incompatible with the current state of the device and I can't figure out why. are dutch T-mobile branded phones so tough to crack or what?
also, after a certain step wich I can't remember, my bootloader doesn't display a radio anymore.
Current bootloader:
UNLOCKED
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.18.0000
eMMC-boot
Aug 2 2011,22:35:52
EDIT: I would be less restricted in my actions if the damn thing were to be S-OFF. is there any way to get get S-OFF through bootloader/fastboot? All the S-OFF methods and utillities I found so far need the device to have a ROM running.
SOLVED
with help of KGS1992, I managed to restore the device.
- installed a stock GB ROM since I was on hboot 1.18, and to get root acces
- aquired root through adb
- gained S-off with revolutionary
reason why I couldn't manage this before is because I didn't have a genuin stock ROM.
tnx all for the help

So my problem is the next one, i recently formated my sdcard which had maximushd rom on it and running as it was my daily rom, at te time i was on supercid but then i had started to do stupid things , i had s-on back on, changed the cid to roger001 but the phone is bought from germany unbranded ( i don`t know what was in my head), now i have managed to install a new rom on the phone but
My storage shows only 48mb, and i have tryed the tricks with stock recovery and then twrp 2610 it shows up 12gb but then after i install the rom is back to 48 or even 0mb,
So how the hell i solve this? and how to get back to stock, as i have tried to install a oficial ruu (zip or exe) and it says to get the correct rom.
OTA_Ville_U_JB_45_S_Globalive_WWE_3.16.1500.7_1.11.50.05.28_10.27.50.08L_release_3049068z393w1fez9cc9lt.zip on supercid didnt work, then i had changed it to roger001 it didn`t (obviousely) i have tried to change the cid again but it won`t let me without s-off but the first time it did let me, now my phone frezzes,
RUU_Ville_U_Rogers_WWE_1.84.631.9_Radio_0.17.31501S.10_2_10.27.31501S.10L_release_265373_signed.exe on this one now it says that my usb connection is lost right at the begining running it from windows or if i am flashing it trough fastboot it says remote sygnature fail,
So what i am doing wrong, at the moment i have managed to install magiorom with the storage issue,

my radio is 1.20.50.05.16
htc one s ville(s4)

i have tried to change the cid trough fastboot comands or with hxd editor with no luck, please someone help me i am on this problem for days now, i have magiorom installed but it has storage problem as i am coming from maximus hd which i understood it caused the storage problem beacause of the firmware
Ok so first wipe your sd card for full storge
The download and use rumrunner if ths t dose not work use moonshine and if that one dise not work use firewater <this is for s-off
Now go back to your original cid and find stock recovery and run the ruu fir your phone
If you got this far then your phone is back to stock with s-off
