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

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).

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?

[Q] I need help please, completly lost....

Hi,
i've got a htc desire S and surprise, surprise i've run into another problem (most probably caused by me right now phone is in a state of "zombification" (freezes at boot screen, boots to hboot screen but loops back to hboot screen when choosing recovery or factory wipe)
I was running edymion v3.5 base release, with pdroid. but i noticed apps kept crashing/ force closing (facebook, default mail, youtube etc) bypassed most of these by reinstalling them or finding alternatives. few weeks later loads of the app started crashing, especially the camera (cashing limited to default and background apps). I decided that a reinstallation of endymion MIGHT fix this so i factory wiped using clockworkmod recovery and reflashed endymion + pdroid.
Alas, it froze on the HTC boot screen. this had happened before when i tried rooting and all..... so i did what i did before...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1728513
which failed cause the update kept stopping midway, so i pulled battery, and repeated a few times, tried using a RUU and a OTA
RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.47.401.4_Radio_20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199410_signed
and
OTA_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.8-2.10.401.5_release_225212pe4gpljm46wwfk8i
these failed as well, either stopped halfway or completed then freeze on HTC boot screen.
Phone is s-off from revolutionary, no clockworkmod now (thanks to multiple wipes) and i dont think it is rooted anymore....
here is data that may help

P.S. sry this was so lengthy, thought more details would help fix it quicker
is your device still recognized by adb? if YES then this should enable you flash a recovery through fastboot.
exert from 4ext touch thread which is what I'd recommend that you use.
Code:
There's a [URL="http://www.4ext.net/ddl/saga/recovery.zip"]direct download[/URL] for a version you can flash via fastboot.
Download this file
Unzip it
check md5sum of the included image file
attach device through USB to PC
flash through fastboot
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
I'd then suggest a full wipe and attempt to include a custom ROM

Thanks for replying, i was begining to lose hope
unfortunately it does not register with adb since it won't switch on. But it DOES register with fastboot, so i'm trying it right not. So far it has stopped moving at
c:\Users\ME\Desktop\adroid>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (6038 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.021s]
writing 'recovery'...
But i'll give it some time before trying again, will report back soon
update:
Soo, waited a while, then tried flashing again. stopped at the exact same spot (writing 'recovery')
If you manage to flash a recovery, search for guide to change your misc version. Then search for a guide to change your bootloader. There is one in my signature. Finally download a T-Mobile RUU since your phone is branded. Do not flash any other versions

lol yea, i've pretty much given up. trying to find some one who can fix it, buti guess i'll have to wait to get a new phone
In which case, you surely have nothing to loose sending the dead device in for warranty fix, best leave the battery out.

Hello Lads
Sorry to trouble you but ive read and read and tried and tried various options but no luck. I was up till two this morning and have been on this all day when I was supposed to be out with the wife. Shes not a happy bunny.
Got an HTC ONE S here on Vodafone, I can get into Bootloader and custom recovery twrp-2.7.1.0a-ville.img
but I cant load any image nothing, The phone wont boot and keeps restarting in a boot loop. I've tried various options and nothing.
I have reflashed stock recovery and tried to put a vodafone ruu on but I keep getting an error
All I want to do is put a stock vodafone rom back on this phone but teh three ive tried give the same error
I thin I have to flash stock recovery
Then relock Bootloader through fastboot
Then run RUU while phone is in fastboot USB
Is this correct and can anyone point me to the correct RUU
details are
Thanks for taking the time to read this , hope someone can put me out of my misery.

Thanks for replying to my question Pal.
I've managed to figure out how to unlock, root, get SuperCid, relock, get another unlock token and then eventually get S_ OFF,, which wouldn't work until I relocked then unlocked again with a new bin file.
Once I had done all this I re flashed a new twrp recovery, then flashed a new rom from recovery, then gapps.. Still cant the find a vodafone stock rom I was on but as I now have S Off I guess that doesnt matter and I can flash the european latest rom if i want to.
Thank you for taking the time to help me Mate, I am Grateful.
Im still on 1.15 radio and I think I will try to flash that next with the 1.20 or higher version to see if it helps with my phone signal which is not very good

[Q] unable to flash ruu via .exe or fastboot

ive been trying to resolve this for two days in an attempt to avoid having to post this thread
sooo here we go-
the phone is k2plc_cl. in a haste/ not caring/ thinking i could maybe get the data working fashion, i flashed viper to my oneSV.
unable to get any signal, i tried relocking my bootloader, and flashing the latest ruu.exe- it sat on sending everytime
so i unlocked my bootloader and tried flashing via fastboot.
recovery and boot flash, radio gives me the remote not allowed like the bootloaders locked.
im not 100% sure on what to do right now actually...
i have the OTA_K2PLC_CL_JB_45_S_Cricket_US_2.04.1050.2-1.03.1050.7_release_321361523g7wih6zk058h5.zip
this needs flashed through stock recovery or fastboot?
fastboot gives me data too long, so i think recovery
but
i flash recovery img. in fastboot, it says OK, and reboots and hangs on the white htc screen
c:\android\tools>fastboot getvar all

Remove your imei & serial, not needed in public.
You need to downgrade hboot first, if you wanna flash the Ruu.
As you are S-off, i would give the last firmware.zip a try. Maybe this solves the issue.
http://fotadl.htc.com/OTA_K2PLC_CL_....04.1050.5_release_343402dpsh8ror12wwdww2.zip
Download the OTA, inside you'll find a firmware.zip. Extract it from the OTA file and rename it to PL80IMG.zip.
Copy to external sdcard, boot into bootloader, wait for scanning the files and confirm to flash with vol+ button. Wait until its finished, can take some minutes.
Reboot and see if your problem is gone.
Some sidenotes: Make a backup before in recovery. And after flashing the firmware you will have stock recovery, so in case you will need TWRP, flash it with fastboot.

flashing the pl80img brought the phone back on, but its still on the viper rom.
so, im going to downgrade hboot, and try to flash the ruu.
thanks for the advice too!
update- i got it back to normal! thanks
i downgraded by renaming the firmware zip to pl80img, put it on my sdcard, and let the bootloader take it from there.
then i installed cwm and flashed the zip that you made from the cricket backup.
geez ive been stuck on this for 2 days hahaha
ok this phone is confusing me sooo freaking bad
so i see that you need to make sure your bootloader is equal(?) or lower than that of which your updating to..
im at 4.1.2, hboot 1.01.000, and software version 2.04.1050.3 trying to update to 2.04.1050.5
and it fails with an 'error in zip file'
i have stock recovery, unrooted, unlocked and s-off.
ive read i do not need to relock to update right?
im trying to just update to 4.2.2 right on the phone but im def at a road block haha
I thought you want to run the RUU to get back stock?

Yes after finally getting the ruu to work! I had to relock, flash newest firmware zip from your list, unlock, download and flash ota then ruu worked. in between I was trying to just flash the ota zip and recovery would abort no matter what
But
Man Im happy to be back on 422 hahaha
And thanks a lot for being there to help everyone out btw :good:
This process finally makes sense to me haha :cyclops:

I just broke the whole phone..

Hello! Before you guys flame me with messages of how much dumb I am or anything similar - don't bother, i already know it and i regret it...
So... I have AT&T HTC One X, with Hboot 2.14, CID CWS__01 which i just destroyed as much as i could >.> Let me reproduce things i've tried..
First of i changed my CID to 11111111 and unlocked the bootloader - took me an hour, but i did it and it was working...
I've installed recovery, even rooted the ROM... But that wasn't enough - i wanted to install ParanoidAndroid ( and i didn't read that it needs S-OFF, realized that just after i installed it and rebooted the phone )..
So after a reboot, the white HTC logo it just went black screen and nothing else... So i've began to look up on forums if someone else had this kind of a problem...
Then i tried another 2 ROM's, which worked as well as PA - just black screen...
So i thought - maybe i'll do everything from scratch ? Why not, I changed CID back to stock, wiped everything etc. and locked the bootloader....
But now I've got a weird problem - i can't change CID with "fastboot oem writecid" - it returned me error
(bootloader) elite_init_sd, SD card already power on
(bootloader) sdhw_7xxx_open: id=0
(bootloader) [SD_HW_ERR] SD: No device attached
(bootloader) 902910 902E20

So now i have no access to recovery, so i can't even do anything to the storage, the phone doesn't boot up, tried RUU for ATT version ( RUU_Evita_UL_ATT_US_1.44.502.1_Radio_0.15.3201.09_release_249105 - i guess its for HBoot 1.44, not 2.14 >.> ) it just showed me an error that it couldn't send data to the phone and i should check my connection to the phone ( drivers are installed and working fine )
I've also tried fastbooting the OTA zip to the phone - well, the phone is on S-ON and it just declines any zip that i try to flash
Also i lost connection to ADB - its impossible to connect to it while phone is in bootloader, right? : /
So i'm left with empty phone without any rom, recovery - anything...
Is there any way of fixing it ? Its 5th hour where i just sit and try to look up for any information, but I just can't find anything...
I guess i just hard bricked the phone and i can try to play some volleyball with it >.>
Your mistake was thinking that you needed s-off to flash the ROM(s), you don't, all you needed to do was flash the boot.img via fastboot after flashing the ROM with your recovery. There's an Evita FAQ thread which contains this information stickied at the top of the q&a section you've posted this thread in . This is in no way intended to flame you, just show you the catalyst point for this mayhem.
Anyway, what is your current CID? Check it with this command:
Code:
fastboot oem readcid
You must be connected in fastboot mode (bootloader) in order for fastboot commands to work (and in answer to your question, no, adb does not work in fastboot mode, only in Android and in recovery).

I should mention that the battery was at ~95% at the time i was trying to flash/do anything.
So, is there any way to make at least recovery working? As for now i flash recovery using fastboot flash, but that does nothing - it says that its done, but when i get into bootloader and check recovery then enter it, it goes to white htc logo and goes back to bootloader >.>
EDIT!!!!!
I managed to get it working! I downloaded RUU_EVITA_UL_JB_45_S_Cingular_US_3.18.502.6_Radio_0.24p.32.09.06_10.130.32.34_release_signed_With_Partial which worked flawlessly and stock ROM just booted up! Jesus christ, thank You internet for providing exact links to the RUU's etc >.> I guess i'll try to not brick the phone again ^^ Thanks for the reply again : )
Topic can be closed now : )

Glad to see you're all working now. But you need to edit your IMEI out of your post asap, never post your IMEI publicly.
