[Q] Which RUU for 3.32.401.105?

Hi, I think I have bricked my phone, it's a Sensation XE btw. I wanted to go back to stock S-ON and get the ICS OTA update so I ran "RUU_Pyramid_LE_HTC_Europe_1.73.401.4_Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2_release_220036_signed". I went well and I was back on GB and entered the command for S-ON in cmd. Then I downloaded the OTA and installed it. Now the phone won't turn on, it just goes in boot loops just displaying the HTC splash screen then rebooting again. I can't enter recovery from bootloader and I can't do a factory reset, it just goes into a bootloop. So, what can I do to get it up and running again?
Have tried this guide, but I can't get passed the point where you are supposed to flash a rom from recovery since I can't get into it. I have unlocked the bootloader and flashed 4ext touch recovery but still can't boot to it.
Info:
HTC Sensation XE
Pyramid PVT Ship S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.27.0000
RADIO-11.22.3504.07_M
OpenADSP-v02.6.0.2226.00.0131
eMMC-boot.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Y did u go back to s-on? U can take an ota and keep ur s-off. Have u tried to just get the 3.32 firmware update and put it on ur sdcard, go into bootloader and let it update the firmware, since u did the ics update?

I need to send it in to reperation. I will try to do that, but I will need to adb push it right? Since I can't mount the SD-card. I can see if I find a docking station for the SD-card tho.
Thanks btw
Edit: placed the firmware on sd card, will boot up now. crossing my fingers!

Hopefully that should work!

Nope, it says "Loading PG58IMG.zip!", then it says "Parsing.... PG58IMG.zip". Afterwards it just stays in bootloader. Do I need to have the bootloader locked for this to work?

Probably, what is ur hboot version

1.27.0000
10char

That's the correct one, have u tried the regular ruu for that ics?

Didn't find any, could you please link me?

There isn't an RUU for the new 3.32.401.105 ICS build (yet)
Try a factory reset of the unit

yeah it's all been ota so far. if u got anything eddy i don't man

@EddyOS: as mentioned in OP, I can't do a factory reset. I can't enter recovery and when i do it from bootloader it just bootloops.

And how long do you think it takes to make a RUU for my bootloader? How long does it usually take?

Man I have know idea, but if all u did is take an ota and ur phone crapped out then I would be getting my carrier or something to fix it.

yeah, that is a possibility, but my bootloader is unlocked. That may be a problem.

You can't 'make' an RUU. If you're S-OFF you can flash the old 1.73.401.4 from fastboot but. If you're S-ON you're kinda screwed

Relock it and tell them u took the ota and this is what happened. Most carriers don't look at ur bootloader and if by chance they do, tell them u were trying to fix the problem cause u need ur phone. Do u have insurance?

So the only hope for me is to either send it in to HTC or wait for a 1.27 RUU?

Or ur cell company. That's y I have insurance on my phone. Look for kingsrom in development section and ask him what he did cause he flashed something wrong and since the phone has a 1 yr warranty on it, he got his replaced. Sorry I couldn't be of more help man.

Ok, no problem, just glad you could help as much as you could.
One last question, is there any way to lock the bootloader again without it saying "RELOCKED". Just talked to a HTC representative who said that the workshop could get suspicious regarding the error I have and the bootloader beeing unlocked and relocked.

[Q] Semi bricked Desire S HBOOT 2.00.000

I've semi bricked my Phone, boo hoo. Please help I I'm hoping it is possable to fix.
Stuatus is:
*** LOCKED ***
S-ON
HBOOT 2.00.000
Freezes at the HTC logo when trying to boot.
I reached this situation by installing RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.9_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_234765_signed.exe but I did neglect to switch the fastboot option off. Thoug I don't believe this is the issue.
I've tried using an old Vodafone ROM buy downloading a Vodafone RUU, extraxting the rom.zip and copying it to the SD card and renaming it PG88IMG.zip. The Andriod loader picked it up but complained it was an older version than installed software.
Please help. I've looking at pages on XDA and other sites for hours and hours and have got nothing to show for my efforts.
I'm thinking I either need to be able to:
1. Unlock (S off) the phone withough it being bootable, it this possable?
2. Or, find an very recent Vodafhone stock ROM that is compatable with hboot 2.00.002
Though I there may be other way of resolving this.
Many thank
Ivan

Things have moved on (a little).
Using the HTC book unlocker I now have:
*** UNLOCKED ***
S-ON
HBOOT - 2.00.0002
It still won't boot though :0(

[Q] HTC Desire S: Can't install FOTA

Hi all. I'm pretty much a DIY girl, rooted my Android phone last year with Revolutionary, and made it S-ON again yesterday so I can apply the updates, which has been long delayed considering the ICS and latest Sense are here and I still got Gingerbread and sense 2.1. I'm not sure though if I was successful in unrooting my phone. Here's what comes up when I press and hold volume-down and power:
**** LOCKED ****
SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.00.0002
RADIO-3822.10.08.04_M
eMMC-boot
Aug 22 2011,15:22:13
When I try to install the system update, it turns off the phone and bring me to the fastboot/hboot white screen (you know what I mean), and I don't know how to continue from there so I just reboot my phone and return to its old software. I even tried to factory reset it but the same thing happened (Oh no, even the factory reset doesn't work now!). How do I get past this?
Just to note, I tried to make a gold card and install 5 different RUU... I just get "ERROR 131 CUSTOMER ID ERROR".
Please help me. I will be SO grateful. Thank you!

[Q] HELP - getting back to stock for warranty purposes

Hi everyone,
Few weeks ago my device started to overheat quite a lot when being used (I dont play 3d games, well I dont play games at all on this device), for browsing the internet on wifi or 3g network, it gets hot in the bottom part of the screen above the touch buttons. I tried buying a new battery, I bought a original HTC, but a bigger one for Evo 3D, but it is still getting hot, and I dont know whether it is a hardware issue or a software caused. Do you have any ideas what could be wrong? ...my sensation is rooted, bootloader unlocked via HTCDev, S-OFF..and I still might try to use my warranty to get it repaired but I dont want to take the chance that I would be told that the device had been unlocked and rooted and thus not being repaired...I read that it ist possible to get device back to S-ON and LOCKED, not RELOCKED, so that the repair center wont find out that it was unlocked and rooted before...but I could not find a tutorial and I also do want to brick my device so I am asking for some help how to get the device back to STOCK rom with S-ON and LOCKED status...
my bootloader says this:
-Firmware-3.33-
Pyramid PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT 1.27.1100
RADIO-11.24A.3504.31_M
OpenDSP-v05.6.0.2226.00.0418

Jan 13....
Can you help me with some steps what to do or just point me to some tutorial? I would be really gratefull for any advice.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1672425 There is pretty much everything covered about RUUs.
And gaining the ''***Locked***'' status for bootloader is impossible. It will say ''***RELOCKED***''

it is possible since you are on S-OFF
but i don't remember the link
you can use also the flashable zip(only from bootloader can be flashed)except of adb command

Okay, maybe it goes to ''Locked'' state itself once you go to S-ON/Flash a RUU

I just read that, but I am not 100% sure of anything. I haven't done it.

thank you guys for your help! :good:

[Q] Problems going back to stock after Venom Rom installed

Hi Everyone,
knowing it's all out there, just need to read (a lot), please help me finding the correct way to solve my problem. I can not change to other ROM, mostly due to lack of knowledge. Please before you judge and claim I should read and learn, i have kids who don't allow me read things properly, and there are tons of information out there, seems simplier to ask for directions this time, based on the situation of the phone.
This is the first custom rom I tried on my new S4 HTC One S (not brand new, just new to me). It was stock rom, locked. Followed instructions on different threads, I unlocked the phone, flashed TWRP recovery, installed SuperSU, copied Venom Rom zip to SD card and installed from recovery, with the aroma. Success. Before installation I did a backup in TWRP.
I very much like the rom (though have 2 issues: 1. phone reboots randomly without any notification. 2 phone loses carrier randomly, so I see no GSM connection as if SIM was removed. This happens when phone is untouched so no way SIM is loosy or something). When I try to chose carrier manually from settings, it sais no SIM card is installed...
But I would like to try other roms as well, and also wish to compare some stock roms. So I downloaded a generic HTC Europe stock RUU, hoping I can easily flash it. Relocked the phone, ran the RUU.exe with Fastboot USB mode in bootloader, but it all came up with error messages and left me at the HTC logo. All I can do is to re-install Venom 3.0.0 from recovery, that works, otherwise I end up in boot loop.
Also I can not go back to the original state using the backup from TWRP. It installs boots but it basicaly freezes before the phone setup comes. I can see the background image, the clock and the GSM antenna sign, but thats all, nothing else happens, no matter how hard I try to reboot.
Phone current boot screen shows: Tampered + Unlocked
VLE PVT SHIP S-ON RL

Radio-1.15.50.05.29
OpenDSP-v31.1.0.45.0815
eMMC-boot
Dec 14 2012, 17:10
When I re-locked the phone it said Tampered + Relocked + Security Warning
As recovery I have TWRP 2.6.0.0 flashed. I did nothing else.
Could someone help me with instructions or at least directions how I could go back to a nice stock RUU? With the one I downloaded i had different error codes 213 (wrong ID) and 255 Unkown error.
I believe as the phone is not S-OFF and/or Super CID, it is relevant which RUU I download. The phone used to boot with a voda logo, so I believe it was one of the UK or AT voda stock roms, but neither works.
Your opinion/feedback is highly appreciated.
Cheers,
skee

To go back to stock u have to flash the right RUU, depends on which CID ur phone got.
u can download it here: http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=Ville
If u downloaded the right RUU, boot ur HOS into fastboot relock the phone and start the RUU.
Let it finish and u r on stock

Hi Homeboy, thanks for the answer. Seems clear. I have only 1 question. How can I make sure which is the right RUU?
I believe I should do a getvar all command, to see the CID id? Then what shall I look at the RUU's filename?
And after the phone having been relocked, shall it be in fatboot USB in bootloader or shall the phone be up and running when I start the RUU.exe from the computer?
thanks
