When I click recovery on the bootloader screen I get taken to "Android system recovery <3e>", but when I try to apply an update through USB I get the following error message:
"Invalid operation:
reason: oem-00"
And then the phone just reboots.
If anyone can help I'd be very grateful.
Thanks.
Since you are unlocked via HTCDEV you can do...
If all you need is root then just run superoneclick, easy as that.
If you have your heart set on using recovery.... You need to flash a custom one (the stock one won't do), download clockworkmod .img and flash it in recovery.
Also if you ever choose to flash roms etc you will need a custom recovery.
If you choose to to go the custom recovery path here is a how to.
______________________________________
-Download attached file titled "android-tools.zip", it has the adb and fastboot files needed to proceed
-Extract the file to "c:\" so that the path looks like this C:\android-tools
-Install HTCDriver (Fastboot drivers) here's
-Open cmd and type "cd/"
-then type "cd android-tools"
*To test whether you have set up all the files correctly and your phone is connected correctly you can do the following;
*Plug your phone in (when plugging in select CHARGE ONLY (i.e. leave on the home screen)
*In cmd type "adb" and press enter, it should show a list of commands, then type "fastboot"and press enter, it should also show a list of commands)
*If both these commands work you have extracted the files to the right place and have setup cmd right.
*then type "adb devices"
*Should show connected phone serial if not then try get the latest HTCdrivers
-Download clockworkmod (here) for your phone and place .img in C:\android-tools folder (i.e. where the files adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll, AdbWinUsbApi.dll and fastboot.exe are)
*To make life easier rename the file to recovery.img
-start fastboot (boot Hboot, plug phone in "HBoot USB plug" shows once phone is plugged in and press the power button (fastboot is highlighted by default) then it says "Fastboot USB")
*(As a test to ensure you have put your phone into fastboot type "fastboot devices" in cmd, it will show your phones serial, if it shows nothing you have not put your phone into fastboot yet)
-run command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" in cmd
-then run "fastboot reboot"
NEXT - to get root
-Copy su-3.0.5-efgh-signed.zip to sdcard root (get latest from clockworkmod site if you wish)
-Start clockworkmod recovery (Hboot/recovery)
-Select install zip from sdcard"
-select Choose zip from sdcard
-Select copied file
-select Yes - install su-3.0.5-efgh-signed.zip to confirm
-Go back
-Then reboot.
All Done.
I would like to do the same thing, but mine says

Does that mean that I'm f**ked ?
@kryddan
Since you are locked and hboot 2.00.0002 you can either downgrade to an older hboot or unlock your bootloader with HTCdev (may void warranty).
Both are very well discussed here.

Downgrade sounds like going backwards. Think I'll search for HTCdev instead
It worked fine with HTCdev to unlock Ok, so it wiped the phone clean from personal data and apps, but who cares. It worked.
Thank you for your help. but go from S-ON to S-OFF seems a bit harder, without downgrade?
p.s. Have already voided my warranty. Got a new mainboard last week. d.s.

the hboot is your bootloader and manages things like partitioning your volume for system, data etc.
downgrading it will never mean going backwards.
what you could have done was downgrading hboot, s-off with revolutionary and get root with superoneklick. thats what i did (but hboot was already fine for me ) then you could install new recovery and done.
its not that hard
but since you have unlocked with htcdev anything you do with your phone will be (at least a bit) harder than with s-off.

HTC Sensation ROM Corrupted, Bootloader Version Error & Solution without S-OFF

Hi All,
I would like to share my own painful experience with HTC Sensation. For some reason(s) my phone ROM got corrupted. Hang/freeze on HTC Green Logo. Neither Recovery and Factory Reset works.Only bootloader works. Tried to run Sensation RUU but showed Bootloader Version Error. Here is the story How I got back to my phone
Original Configuration Was like below:
LOCKED
S-ON
HBoot- 1.18
Radio: 10.14.9035.01_M
ROM Version: 1.52.720.3
Now, the configuration is:
RELOCKED
S-ON
HBoot: 1.18
Radio: 10.14.9035.01_M
ROM Version: 1.45.720.1
Most importantly, I did not S-OFF my device. What I did? Here are the steps:
1. Download "RUU_Pyramid_hTC_Asia_India_1.45.720.1_Radio_10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_207653_signed"
2. Download any Customized ROM and su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip
3. With the help of HTC Dev Unlock the bootloader
4. Search and download the ADB/Fastboot Tools.
5. Set the phone to Bootloader -> Fastboot mode.
6. Search & download the recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.2-pyramid.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.2-pyramid.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
7. Go to the Recovery Mode & start CWT
8. Install the su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip and customized ROM one after another. (I know the ROM will not boot at all, because of lower radio version and hang on the splash screen,but I will get "adb shell") with the option of Install ZIP From SD Card and reboot the phone.
9. From my PC open the ADB Tools in command prompt.
10. Run Following Command:
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p31.img (Copy From Main Version Block To SD Card)
11. Bring back the "mmcblk0.img" to pc and with HxD HED Editor change to the desire version number (i.e. Search 1.52.720.3 and replace with 1.45.720.1)
12. After modify & save I put the image back to the SD & run the following command ( Don forget to take backup of original mmcblk0p31, in case if not working, so that you can revert it.)
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/mmcblk0p31.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p31 (Copy To Main Version Block From SD Card)
13. Relock the bootloader
14. And Run the RUU. Everything will be fresh.
What Ever You Will Do.......ITS Your Own Risk. I Just Share my work, this is how got back my phone.

[Q] How to flash Endymion, S-ON, HBOOT 2.00.0002

Hi guys, I decided to flash Endymion ROM to my Desire S, but I've never flashed a rom before, so I want to be sure I'll do it right. So my phone is Desire S, this is the info I see in the BOOTLOADER:
*** UNLOCKED ***
SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.00.0002
RADIO-3822.10.08.04_M
eMMC-boot
I have unlocked the bootloader using HTCDEV, I have installed Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4 and ROM Manager from the market. I have downloaded the V3.5 base rom to my SD Card.
What I intend to do next is:
1) Activate USB Debugging
2) from ROM Manager to flash the Endymion rom
3) Reboot to BOOTLOADER and use the command fastboot flash boot $pathToBootIMG\boot.img to make it start correctly
Questions:
1) Is this all I need to do?
2) Do I have to downgrade the bootloader?
Thanks so much for your replies

my DS is also htcdev unlock
S ON and HBOOT 2.00.0002
this is what i did
1. enter recovery mode by pressing vol down and power button
2. do a full wipe (data, cache, dalvik cache)
3. flash the rom you want
4. power off
5. enter fastboot by pressing vol down and power button
6. flash the boot.img in fastboot,
(do extract the boot.img in every rom you flash)
(you need adb for this, run cmd and navigate where the adb and boot.img)
(code is "fastboot flash boot boot.img")
7. reboot
Thanks man, this is exactly what I did yesterday and now it works perfectly OK.
I found also this tutorial, originally for CM7, but it is 100% applicable for Endymion too.

4EXT Recovery v2.2.7 RC5
Made an backup and this works in recovery.
I tried to install the following ROMS
- CM-10.1-20130808-signed.zip
- saga_PAC_JB_4.2.2-v23.0.0_20130706-232137.zip
and
gapps-jb-20130301.zip
I have wiped data/factory reset, cache, dalvik cache, battery stats.
then Install from sdcard.
CM-10.1-20130808-signed.zip
gapps-jb-20130301.zip
4EXT says installation has been completed
I reboot the phone and the screen gives first the white HTC boot screen and then there is an black screen and it 'll not proceed in the booting proces.
Am i doing something wrong? (I guess so but i don't know what the problem is) I have read several rooting guides on XDA but am a bit lost in the information.:silly:
Can somobody give me an helping hand.
Many thanks
ur S-ON and not S-OFF so u must do this:
1 open the rom.zip in your pc
2 extract the boot.img
3 put the boot.img in the folder where u have the fastboot.exe
4 in this folder hold shift button on the pc keybord and right click on the mouse and select "run windows command here"
5 put your phone in fastboot mode and connect into your pc
6 in the command line opened at point 4 write
" fastboot erase cache " and do the command.
now write
"fastboot flash boot boot.img " and do the command
this must be done everytime u change rom (otherwise u can s-off your device -> search in general topic)
Thx, i'll try this tommorow.

Thank you very much, it works like a charm.

[Q] Boot loop after failed boot.img replacement

Edit: solution to the problem in post #4
I have accidentally replaced my boot.img with fastboot - now the phone is stuck in a boot loop/freeze
the bootloader is unlocked
it is S-ON
it is an unlocked (not branded phone)
running twrp 2.6.0.0
both adb and fastboot appear to work
the phone is not rooted (that was where the problem started...)
I have access to hboot and recovery, but that is it​
I have erased everything (cache, system, dalvik, sd) several times and tried a number of suggestions found on other threads describing similar problems.
I can't get access to the SD card from a PC, and fastboot flash or adb push both fail to transfer a stock RUU (JmzM4StockRootedDeOdex-WWE-1.22.401.1.zip) to the phone.
I have replace the kernel (and flashed the appropriate boot.img with it) to get out of the boot loop.
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated! gettting desperate now...
Thanks, K

excellent - thanks, pm sent
Here is the solution to the above problem, no guarantees – just thought I share it here if anyone else is in the same predicament… I was walked through this by nelvinchi - many thanks for that !!!!
(n.b. I can't post urls yet as I am a noobie here, so that you will need to find the required files in the forum somewhere - maybe someone can leave links to the appropriate files in a post below)
Required files:
1. ABD (get the smaller version from the forum)
-> download this and extract to a folder called c:\adb\
2. Updated Super SU "UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.86.zip"
3. Rom (Stock2.12.401.1Deodex(tr1gg3r84).zip)
-> SuperSU and Rom, into the same folder as above (c:\adb\)
(4. TeamWinRecoveryProject recovery, here version 2.6.0.0)​
Procedure:
[NB.: I had access to bootloader (unlocked) & recovery (twrp 2.6.0.0); the phone was S-ON]
Open a command prompt from the folder (shift+right click somewhere in the window and choose “open command window here”, or WIN+R and enter cmd and press enter and navigate to the folder where the files and adb are located)
Boot phone to recovery
Go to the mount menu, check system and data [data was not selectable, thus I had to: Go to wipe menu, Format data, Type yes, after that reboot to recovery, and mount menu, check system and data…]
Back to main menu
Plug your phone into computer (mine was plugged in all along, so no worries)
In the cmd prompt (on PC) type: adb devices [phone should be found and indicated by the serial number and the status, in this case it should say recovery after the number – proceed if phone is found]
Type: adb push Stock2.12.401.1Deodex(tr1gg3r84).zip /sdcard/
[there is no indication of progress when pushing, just be patient – it will take a few minutes. And, just in case – if you need to interrupt/cancel the push process it can be done with Ctrl+c]
Type: adb push UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.86.zip /sdcard/
On the phone, in recovery, Go to install
Choose the NEW rom (Stock2.12.401.1Deodex(tr1gg3r84).zip)
Choose add more zips and add the SuperSU zip
Confirm flash
When done, DON'T reboot, go back, reboot menu, reboot recovery
On the PC, open the ROM zip, and extract boot.img to the folder (c:\adb\) [this will need you to have 7zip or Winrar or similar installed on your computer]
Reboot menu and select Reboot bootloader
Select fastboot (fastboot should be indicated by fastboot USB)
On the PC type fastboot flash boot boot.img
Choose bootloader, then recovery
In recovery: Go to wipe, Advanced wipe, Check cache and dalvik, and wipe!
Go to Reboot menu, and Reboot system
Now, don't panic – it will take some time to do its thing… the phone should be fine after that and normal setup process should start.

I'm having the same problem.
I've followed those instructions over and over with different roms but TWRP always tells me that there is no OS installed when I do the final reboot. I am stuck at the white HTC screen and can't get any rom to load up. Please help.
This is what my bootloader says:

I can flash recoveries and boot.img. ADB works to push roms into /sdcard/, can also sideload. I'm suspecting my filesystem/ partition data is all screwed but but can't figure out why Roms won't load.
I got the phone yesterday and it was untouched, stock. I tried to follow this guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2789272) to get it rooted and install a custom rom. I got stuck at getting S-OFF. rumrunner was giving me the "Fatal: download latest package" error. I also could not get su in the shell to try firewater. At this point I was reading that people had luck getting S-OFF after installing JmzM4StockRootedOdex-WWE-1.22.401.1 custom rom and kernel. I tried to do that but I wasn't sure what I was doing and ended up with no OS and a bootloop at the white HTC screen. I have a bit of Android experience from messing with the HP touchpad tablet but I'm rusty and this phone has me beat right now.
Thanks for your help.

try replacing TWRP with an older version (mine was 2.6.0.0) and reset/clear/delete/format everything from there and restart the process outlined above
and apparently S-Off is pointless and very risky on this model, there is no reason to do it - it will just cause problems
good luck and I hope some else who has actual knowledge about this will get back to you

Thanks.. I've been using TWRP 2.7.1.0 because I read that I have the newer partion scheme with HBOOT 2.22 but I'm not really sure.
When I try TWRP 2.7.1.1 ADB doesn't work and I get a different /sdcard/ than in 2.7.1.0. Not sure what's going on there either.
The only reason I tried S-off is because I blindly followed that guide on how to get the HTC one mini up to date and that was the 2nd step. I should have skipped it and paid more attention to the custom rom flashing aspect.
I'll try TWRP 2.6.0.0 as I don't have many other options at this point.. I also tried to use CWM recovery but it couldnt flash a rom either.
Thanks for your input.
