[Q] Problem with HBOOT 2.00.0002

Hi guys.. I really hope someone can help with this as i am desperate.
I unlocked my Desire S with Revolutionary, then upgraded HBOOT to ENG 2.00.0002. Until now ,after running all roms possible found on this great site, I had the pre-rooted deodexed stock 2.10.401.4
Today I downloaded the RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.5, unpacked copied the PG88IMG.zip to my sdcard and begun update. The update was unsuccessful. Now my device says this:
*** LOCKED ***
*** Security warning ***
SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.00.0002
RADIO_3822.10.08.04_M
eMMC-boot
The phone is stuck is FASTBOOT, and selecting BOOTLOADER only loads again PG88IMG.zip, and of course after "Checking PG88IMG.zip" it errors with Main version is older! <Power> to REBOOT.
IS there anything that can be done? PLS HELP!

If you remove or rename the PG*.... file from the root of your SD card this should stop happening..
Then you should be able to enter recovery, where I'm hoping that you'll have an available Nandroid backup that you could restore to.

Problem is that choosing recovery from bootloader does nothing, just brings me back into fastboot. I think that recovery was wiped during the failed update process.
Also my device is S-on now so i cannot flash a new recovery in fastboot.

Now I'm afraid that I'm a little out of my depth here so won't offer any more advice.......but, you should be able to flash the recovery partition from fastboot...So hopefully all is not lost yet...
EDIT: Apology, only just read that you're S-ON and am not sure what to recommend.

You should look at my guides below. Both will tell and show you how to flash recoveries via fastboot.

Thanks, but before i wrote this question i did read all guides possible, including yours . Problem is I am stuck in fastboot, i cannot boot the phone, use adb or flash anything via fastboot as my device now is LOCKED and S-ON. Also i have no recovery not even stock one...
Smells more and more like a bricked Desire. Damn.

If you have read the guide, you should have known that before you can flash ANYTHING on fastboot, you have to be UNLOCKED first..
You should have tried to unlock it BEFORE flashing anything..
If these doesn't work, then you may be right on your last sentence..
Goodluck!

Before attempting the RUU update with pg88img.zip i had ENG HBOOT with S-OFF, but during that update something went wrong. It managed to update to the official HBOOT 2.00.2002 S-ON, but then i got the "Main Version is older - Update Fail! error and i think I need to send it to HTC as I see no way out of this. What i do not understand is this "Main Version is older - Update Fail!" error! why did this happen in the first place as i was updating from pre-rooted deodexed stock 2.10.401.4 to 2.10.401.5.

Simmilar problem, still wifi not working
I have got simmilar problem on desire s, got revolutionary S-OFF with 0.98 then tryied RUU with sense, something went wrong.. now i have hboot 2.00.0002 radio 3822.10.08.04_M i opened the hboot via HTC development page, then i flashed the newest ROM by Adidas108: RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.5_signed_prerooted SENSE 3.0(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1183684)
now the system is booting properly and i can use the phone again, but the wifi is not working, which sucks because there is newest radio and according adidas108 newest ROM. I havent found solution for this as my hboot is in S-ON now and i cant flash different version of radio. I think first i need to find how to make hboot 2.00.0002 into S-OFF. Anyone any idea?
UPDATE 1: now i managed to install the ROM build 1.28.401 prerooted by Adidas108, everything seems to be working again, even wifi is ok. It is strange that the old ROM is working with newest RADIO and the newest ROM not, does anyone has any reasonable explanation to this issue?

Can you please be more specific on how you dealt with your HBOOT. Did you somehow managed to get it S-OFF. I sure need to flash a new recovery and from there i am good, i can resurrect my phone.

No my hboot 2.00.... Is s-on, i just unlock the recovery it means i can flash roms, but i cant overvrite radio or hboot on its own. I also need a solution how to make my phone s-off, and as revolutionary is only supporting hboot .98 it will not be easy. For now ill better stáy on my old ROM with sense 2.1

I unlocked my bootloader on htcdev. After that my old rom booted up normaly and everythig was back to normal. I then flashed in recovery RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.5_signed_prerooted SENSE 3.0 by Adidas108 and it all works perfectly now since my radio was updated before the error with "Main version is older" in the official RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.5. thanks guys for the help.. i read Skanob guides again and found out about htcdev.

BTW, from my experience it seems that you could update your radio to latest version if you try with the official RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.5. It will probably error "Main version is older" and lock your bootloader, but you could unlock it on htcdev, and enter custom recovery after that and flash Adidas108's RUU. My wifi works perfectly with 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04 radio.

Solution
So finnally my cell is working with sense 3.0. I downgraded hboot to 0.98.0000 thanx to Skanob(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318919), then S-Off with revolutionary, flashed actual clockwork mod recovery, after the newest saga radio and as the last the newest ROM by Adidas108. Everything works fine, even with hboot 98.0002. End of Story

[Q] S-OFF on HBOOT 1.20

Is there an S-OFF available for HBOOT 1.20? Saw "locked" after flashing 1.20 and S-ONed phone. Finally unlocked using htcdev but nothing I found could help me downgrade HBOOT and do S-OFF again. Do not have SuperCID atm.

there is a thread on this your still rooted even though it says s on

Yeah, I am still rooted and can get into recovery and flash ROMs. But I am having issues with signal and I cannot flash anything because 1.20 does not support fastboot commands. I would like to downgrade but cannot. I tried flashing the customized p85img.zip with my CID T-MOB010 and it would just return to menu w/o any messages.

Make sure it's p85img in the file name.
Don't INSERT .zip at the end. It should automatically be a .zip file.

The file is named correctly.

There is a thread here ima try and find it were you can revert back to hboot 1.17.0000

i m facinf d same problm wit my sensation with bootloader unlocked thro htc dev. i m unable 2 flash any radios. Even i m unable to flash any custom firmware also. I need ur help if u found any solution.

either downgrade your hboot to 1.17 or update to ics 3.24 which has hboot 1.27 (unlocked) and you will have advance fastboot commands

Same exact problem here, semi-bricked my phone before I went over to Htcdev.... attempting to flash a p85img for HBOOT 1.17 or any p85img does nothing but parse it. Searched all day today couldn't find a thing to help...Others have suggested just waiting until Revolution comes out with an Unlock for 1.20 but I'm determined to find a solution for us.

[Q] Issues with Rogers HTC One X

First off here's what I'm working with:
Rogers HTC One X
Cyanogenmod from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2205183
Recovery - TWRP 2.5
Hboot - 2.14
radio - 0.23a.32.09.29
Rooted - I don't think so
SuperCID - 22222222
S-OFF - No
Lock status - Unlocked with HTCDev after SuperCID
Story time:
After deciding to install cyanogenmod on the weekend I've run in to a myriad of issues. I was able to unlock, flash CWM recovery, and install Cyanogen fairly easily, but I ran into the issue where the touch screen doesn't work.
What I've done:
I've found the fix detailed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2159863, but have been unable to get all the prerequisites going. From the screen fix thread linked above I need to be rooted, s-offed, and superCIDed.
I believe I got the superCID working by following the steps in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41482419&postcount=2 and fastboot oem readcid returns 22222222
After that I was unlocked before but locked and relocked with a new unlockcode from htcdev
For rooting, I've looked at the methods listed under Root on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237, but I'm not too sure where to find which firmware I'm on. That would be the version of cyanogen would it not. I've tried the x-factor method using All-In-One Toolkit from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1952426 to no avail, as well as SuperSU from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1673935 and this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1644167, but I don't think any method has worked so far.
In order to use S-Off I'm pretty sure you need to be rooted, so it of course it didn't work, what made me think I wasn't rooted was when I was going through the Facepalm S-Off guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155071 when I ran "adb shell su -c "/data/local/tmp/soffbin3" it would just me the error su: not found, which means your not in as root according to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38278577#post38278577
I've also tried going back to stock using the RUU RUU_Evita_UL_Rogers_WWE_1.94.631.3_Radio_0.18as.32.09.28L_10.103.32.24L_release_268972_signed.exe from http://ruu.androidfiles.org/getdown...9.28L_10.103.32.24L_release_268972_signed.exe, but when I run it I get error 99: Unknown Error, and I if I look in the log it creates it says error 44 HBOOT mismatch. I'm running after relocking, and I've tried just grabbing the rom.zip from %temp%, extracting it and flashing the boot and system imgs, but it says the system.img is too big.
At this point I'd just like to get my phone to work. If I can get it with CM that'd be cool, but stock would be good too. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

In cyanogenmod you have to allow adb root access in developer options.
To ruu without s-off you need to change your cid back to the default but you will brick if you update to 3.18 after. Best to s-off since you changed your cid.

The touchpad doesn't work in cyanogenmod though, that's the root of the issue

I was trying to RUU before changing CID, but was running in to "FAILED (remote: 44 hboot version check fail)", when running the RUU mentioned in the OP

Ah I see the ruu must have had an older hboot version than the one on your phone. You cant downgrade firmware without s-off.
To fix your issue you will need to flash a sense rom and then s-off and then downgrade your touchscreen firmware. Then you can flash whatever evita rom you like.

Thank you very much!
I flashed the Sense build from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293032 and was then able to S-Off. After that I was able to down grade the touchpad firmware and install cyanogenmod.
Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction

[Q] How to S-Off/ SuperCID? Hboot 2.1.5

I have a HTC One XL(no AT&T logo) that seems to have Hboot 2.1.5 (I went into the bootloader menu that appears when you vol + power on). I recently sent in my One X (with Tegra processor) in for warranty and somehow got a One XL back, so I don't know much about the phone. It came with Sense 5 and JB 4.2.2. I've already unlocked the bootloader via htcdev.com and flashed TWRP 2.6.3.0 recovery, and through that I flashed superuser.zip, which worked because I was able to use Titanium backup.
I wanted to follow the Facepalm S-Off guide ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155071 ) so that I could install a custom rom (LiquidSmooth). That guide requires my phone to be Super-CID, but I am unsure how to do that on my phone because it has Hboot 2.1.5 and all the one click installers specify hboot 2.1.4 or some AT&T firmware version that I don't know whether my phone has or not.
So does anybody know how to SuperCID or S-off my phone?
Thanks in advance

Unfortunately the 2.15 hboot has write protection enabled, which means it isn't possible for you to get SuperCID at the moment. Obviously that means you can't get s-off. I believe this problem is being worked on but we have no ETA yet. You should be able to flash most ROMs without s-off though, as you are on new enough firmware.

[HELP] Problems with updating hboot, RUU, super CID, S-OFF,

I have an HTC One S (duh) with CM10, hboot 1.14, S-ON, no superCID at the moment.
I want to flash a new ROM, but everything either needs me to have S-OFF (superCID) at the least, or a newer hboot.
So in order to update my hboot, I was under the impression that I needed to get back on stock ROM. I tried that - got some error while running the RUU. I also don't remember why I got that impression.
I can't do superCID because my phone, while showing up under fastboot devices, says device not connected with ADB shell. I already tried reinstalling the adb drivers, no luck.
I can't do either S-OFF (facepalm or moonshine).
So, should I just give up at this point?

You will need to be S-off for the ROMs that require 2.16 HBoot.
The other ROMs (require 2.15 HBoot) You will be ok with S-on. Just have to remember to fastboot flash the boot.img before installing the ROM.
But first you need to update your firmware to 2.15.
So keep trying RUU.exe trying one that will work with your CID. Look for RUU that have JB that will bring you the 2.15 Hboot and Jelly Bean update.
Remember to lock your bootloader before running the RUU (since you are S-on)

Yeah, I've done all that for the RUU. I'm 100% sure I have the right one, but when I run it it gives me an error. When I get home I'll try again.

In terms of Supercid and s-off. You can get supercid on roms that aren't stock, but you need supercid for s-off. So my phone was stock, then i flashed cm10, then i gained supercid, then s-off, then i could put whatever rom i fancied on (in that order). I had HBOOT 2.15.
Dunno if it helps because it sounds like you are using windows and i use linux but i had problems with adb too. Which I fixed by using the equivalent to "run as administrator".

I found the root of my problems - apparently my HTC drivers installation was corrupted, so most processes would get to a point but be unable to continue because of some error having to do with the drivers.
I reinstalled them, so hopefully I'll have some success with rumrunner.
Just kidding. Rumrunner says I'm "not rooted" even though I am running a custom ROM with unlocked bootloader.

So I'm S-OFF, but the RUU refuses to work. (I'm trying to get a kitkat-based ROM and i need hboot 2.15 for that)
I always get the error:
