Ok. Can help with my question?

Use Gold Card - Not working
I manage using gold card and flash ruu 2.10 but still not working cause my main version is > 3. Anybody can help? please....

try reading this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1728513
some ideas you can try

You forgot to downgrade misc_version before restoring to stock.
Now, you have one of 2 options:
1) If your HBOOT is modified - you can fastboot flash recovery, connect by ADB, execute misc_version script in recovery (that step saves you ROM installation) to downgrade main version, and then execute RUU again.
2) If your HBOOT is stock and you can't do anything - you'll have to unlock it the HTC way, after unlock - execute all the above (including relocking the bootloader after main version is downgraded).

Finally it solved, I manage to found firmware with main version bigger than mine, flash it, unlock via htc dev, install recovery, change version, and return to stock successfully.
Thank you very much.

Since your hboot already using 2+, you can do following steps:
1. unlock your bootloader using htc dev
2. after unlocked, install recovery
3. go to recovery you've previous installed then connect usb and change misc version via adb
4. relock again the bootloader
5. then you can install the RUU
Hope this help.

It doesn't. At least in my case.
I had to add my cid to make it loadable but that's about it:
Loading .. [PG88IMG.zip]
Checking .. [PG88IMG.zip]
Then it returns to Fastboot menu again with nothing changed!

Hi Ahmed,
What is the version of your hboot? is it already 2.00+? if it is you can just unlock via htc dev to flash the recovery. No need to flash the firmware

IMO is that you dont need to flash the firmware, since you already said that you've already unlock the bootloader. I did flash the firmware because i want to unlock my bootloader.
I download this recovery image www.4ext.net/ddl/saga/recovery.zip, I flash this image in fastboot and the recovery installed successfully, maybe you can try it also.
after that you can install tacoroot for temporary root and misc version your device image version, then you can install ruu afterward.

My problem is complex. Hboot is 0.98.0002 so i can't use HTCDev to unlock. At the same time adb is not working so i can't s-off. RUUs of 2.x or 1.x do not work either as latest image was 3.x .
I think i need to upgrade Hboot (somehow) to enable HTCdev Unlock then downgrade and s-off. That may require RUU > 3.x ... and it must be RUU not OTA or update package.

My case was the same as yours thats why i flash the firmware so i can unlock my bootloader. But you are not able to flash from chinese ota i gave you earlier?

for completed information you can following a guide all about RUU from here..

i unlocked boot loader (still phone in RUU mode). installed 4ext recovery (still phone show only RUU screen). so now tell me how to go in recovery as when press vol down+power it directly show mr RUU mode (no bootloader mode), when i remove usb cable it show me hboot screen but there is no option (such as bootloader, fastboot, recovery, crc etc,) , it only show ruu written just below hboot information.
but i am able to use fastboot commands from here.

yap you must flashing firmware to replace corrupt bootloader first..
that's mean now your bootloader had a text "UNLOCKED" in the top of bootloader..?
if the bootloader had already text "unlocked" in the top of bootloader..?, you must relocked first with command "fastboot oem lock", then tried it flashing this firmware from bootloader..

Can't find a matching RUU
BUT
i recently helped another user with a simiar problem.
In case you unlock the bootloader and get S-OFF you can do as followed:
S-OFF your phone --> get super CID --> flash stock recovery --> change CID to e.g unbranded (HTC__001) --> Flash unbranded RUU

Thanks for reply.
Yes, I've unlocked bootloader.
But my problem is - I have bootloop.
So, I can't load Android on the phone to use adb to S-OFF my phone.
(What I found so far is - you need to have working adb to S-OFF the phone)
Which means I can't change CID to be able to flash any other RUU.
Thanks.

Well, how or when can I see that?
So far I didn't see any errors related to sdcard.
I just want to remind - Android doesn't boot, my PC doesn't see my phone, so, I can't put anything on sdcard.
Thanks

Flash latest TWRP using fastboot.
Perform a FULL wipe.
Flash rom via ADB Sideload (TWRP supports this feature)
IMPORTANT: Your bootloader vesrion will only support 4.0x versions. May be JB too. But NO 4.3+. So i'd suggest to flash ICS rom.
You will need to flash the kernel (boot.img) manually using fastboot due to your phone is S-ON!

Just to make sure that I understood you correctly:

For example this one - openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.0-ville.img ?
So, after I install it , if I go to fastboot -> recovery I should see, let's call it, TWRP menu. Is it correct?
And ADB Sideload is one of the menu?

Where should I get boot.img ?
So far I found RUU for my RADIO - 0.16.31501S.16_2 for T-Mobile (CID = T-MOB010):
RUU_Ville_U_TMOUS_1.84.531.2_R2_Radio_0.16.31501S.16_2_10.22.31501S.10L_release_263233_signed.exe
But my CID = HTC__017
Should I take boot.img from this RUU?
Thanks

NO!
Maximus HD is for S-OFF only!!!
You have to use the boot.img contained in the rom you flash. Otherwise you will have a brick again.
I'm looking for a compatible Rom for you. Just some patience please.

Here it is --> Virtuos 1.4 - based on stock 4.0.3

Yes please use TWRP 2.7. ADB sideload is selectable in the TWRP menu.
Connect it to your computer. Open commandline.
Type "adb sideload ROMNAME.zip" and it will flash the rom immediately to your phone.

2. To flash TWRP 2.7
OK.
I'm trying to flash TWRP 2.7:
>fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.0-ville.img
sending 'recovery' (9046 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.098s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 2.164s]
finished. total time: 3.265s
I go to bootloader - please, see pic1 how it looks.
I go to "RECOVERY" from FASTBOOT - HTC logo with text appears, black screen and after that the phone goes to bootloop again. See pic2.
Looks like TWRP was not installed?
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks.

Have you restarted the bootloader after flashing? Pls immediately rastart the bootloader after installing twrp.
Why you got the bootloop? (What did you change?)

Don't panic
If fastboot is bugged, relock bootloader and unlock again. Then flashing will be fine.
May you tell me what caused the bootloop originally? Will help to find a solution.

Hi,Yep tried that one still getting signed error.
Thanks for looking

You have to get an RUU according to your CID.Get into your bootloader (by pressing power + vol-) and when you see fastboot usb give the command fastboot getvar all.Then copy-paste everything here except your imei and serialno so we will be able to help you further. If you cannot find an RUU for your CID you have to S-OFF your device so you be able to change your cid. After that you can flash any RUU.
You probably have bootloop issues with custom roms because you are S-ON user and you have to flash mannually the kernel.Just extract the boot.img from the rom zip you flash from your recovery in the folder you have fastboot and then flash it from your bootloader by using the command fastboot flash boot boot.img.Then your custom Rom should be working. After that you can S-OFF your bootloader with runrummer or with juopunutbear as long as you have already unlocked your phone with HTC_dev.
** Also after S-OFF it would be nice to upgrade your radio to the latest. **

Thank you for your reply, I have run the ruu that you suggested in your first post but i'm still in a boot loop and being a ruu I do not know how to extract the boot image to flash it ( as this has stopped the boot loop problems in my previous phone). is there a boot.img available?
When i click on the link for 4ext you posted I cannot find the download link also can i flash 4ext being s-on
Looking forward to your reply.

in the ruu thread there is somewhere how to flash ruu manually
maybe from there you can locate the boot.img
about the recovery link i think you have to sign in in 4shared site
and yes you can flash 4ext while on S-ON as long as the bootloader is unlocked

Just need to mark as " solved " not sure how ( mod's ? )

!!

mid: 2PQ910000
cid: HTC__621
That's the phone's details.
I have no back up (cause im an idiot) and Im on CM13 with TWRP and the sound is very low. RUU won't work !
This is a HUGE problem for me because I need to wake up for work early and the alarm is sow low I don't hear it
Can anyone please post a link to a flashable zip / TWRP backup so I can safely return to stock ?
THANK YOU !!!

Post fastboot getvar all minus serial no & imei no . -- download mode

Try Viper4Android for a quick volume boost solution, then you can take your time finding the RUU for your device
