NEW hboot /ruu cid error,now roms will nott boot

Hi.i tried to install the latest ruu on my desire s(voda branded) it failed with a cid error and only left me with the new hboot and radio.i can still access recovery but when i install ANY rom (tried endymion ,pre rooted ruu, and cyanogen)
they all just sit at the htc quietly brilliant logo(animation still going)
i was gonna try and downgrade the hboot back to the old one but it seems i would need the cid for my phone which im lead to beleive you need to install and app for this(cant do as my phone wont boot past logo) not even sure if this is what i need to do to fix the problem! so any suggestions fully appreciated!
please help,i have tried the search function but could not find anyone with exactly the same issue.
edit,ok it seems my recovery got messed up in the process of installing the ruu,reflashed 4ext and have been able to install cyanogen,now to try and downgrade the hboot......then to stop flashing and breaking my phone lol.
downgrade successful drama over! mods can close this if they like!

Bootloop Htc Sensation

Hello, I just tried to install hd android revolution 6.6.4, got my phone rooted s-off and all that. I didnt update firmware first (which I should have)and i kept gettiing a bootloop. So I tried wiping everything and then updating firmware to no avail, said cid failed. Which that is also my fault because I neglected to do cid prior to any on these other things. So now I cannot update firmware, I cannont install any rom and Im stuck in bootloop no matter what i do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

you are SOFF
so just change the damn cid to supercid
first remove the PG*** file from SDCARD(use a card reader) otherwise you cant get into bootloader properly
i assume you have adb/fastboot setup ...if you dont then follow this guide to set it up
step to supercid
1.keep your phone in fastboot mode and connect it to pc (phone reads fastboot usb)
2.type this command
fastboot oem writecid 11111111 (it should be eight ones)
thats all now you are supercid...
now flash the fw again ..you wont get any error and then flash the rom via recovery again
Thanks man, needed it laid out to me like that. I appreciate it, now to install hd rev

Need help installing RUU, S-off, hboot 2.16

Hi all,
I installed MaximusHD ROM and messed up my partitions so now I have only 2 GB available. I want to fix it by going back to stock ROM.
Currently my phone is superCID, s-off, hboot 2.16, radio 1.20.
From what I've read I should be able to install any RUU but I have not been able to. I tried to do it in fastboot mode and in normal mode when Android is on but without success. Setup starts but some unknown error appears, I think it is error 105... or 150.
I've followed some guides here but the setup won't work because of the unknown error Do I have to look for a specific RUU ?
The only thing that I have not done is to lock my bootloader prior to installing the RUU. However the guides state that I do not have to lock it if my phone is S-OFF.
If I do fastboot getvar all next to "version main" I see nothing, it is empty.
Please help!
I changed my CID to HTC__001 but this did not help Please help me to get back to stock !

I had similar issue what I ended up doing was pulling the recovery image out of the install package and flashing it via fastboot and it restored my sd storage I had to use the modified recovery supplied I would try that- I believe you could change your cid to whatever RUU your trying to flash and it should work also,its seems some have downgraded to hboot 2.1.5 to flash RUU (read,read,read)best of luck
Somehow I fixed my problem yesterday. I was not able to install RUU however I was able to change my hboot back to 1.04 ... afterwards I installed the latest version of TWRP and suddenly I was able to see stuff on my internal memory. Prior to that TWRP 2.3.x.x was not able to detect my whole internal memory. Anyway... my advice to people is not to install MaximusHD via CWM although it says that it works. It does work, but it is easier with TWRP

[Q] Help with RUU and restoring please! (urgent)

I recently tried switching from a 4.2.2 ROM to CM11, but was having some major issues with recoveries and I performed a format system.
And now my phone is pretty much bricked
I am on Hboot 2.16, S OFF and i relocked the bootloader
I tried flashing a European JB RUU but It always failed whether it's IMAGE ERROR or Unknown error. I thought having S OFF gave you the ability to pretty much flash any RUU for your Device :S
I have the same problem
and was going from a ROM to another but no f****** use
anyway
you have to use magio.rom recovery
and flash it with magio.rom full wipe
and if you can't mount sdcard
just boot to recovery and use this command
adb push yourromname.zip sdcard
yourromname= you choose a name
and then flash it
the problem I'm s-on and tried a lot to s-off it but none of the methods worked for me
i hope someone will help with this disastrous problem

[Q] unalbe to install recovery or reset phone to factory

Hey
[edit]
don't know if i did good or bad, but i installed hboot 2.16 since i want kitkat,
but when i select recovery in the bootloader i still get the constant reboot.
[/edit]
my phone is s-off and super-cid, hboot 1.09, but when i try to install a new version of either CWM or TWRP through their apps, it says installed successfully, but after a reboot i can;t get into recovery - the phone just keeps rebooting.
also - rom manager says i have both installed.
also i can't reset the phone, when i click reset phone in the settings menu, it says it does, but after it reboots - everything is still as it was.
I guess i should not do a factory reset (in hboot menu) unless i have some sort of recovery working?
thanks
OK, all fixed now.
what i did is this:
downgraded to HBoot 2.15
relocked bootloader
installed the 3.16 RUU (only able to do it after the downgrade to 2.15 hboot, and only on one computer - otherwise got error 158)
unlocked the bootloader through HTCDev
installed latest TWRP
tried to load CM without success (didn't read all the instructions)
read all the instructions
flashed the CM boot.img
install CM11 without a problem
hoe this will help someone
how did you go from 2.16 to 2.15?
i'm having a similar issue. http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-s/help/help-load-recovery-boot-rom-hboot-2-16-t2827392
thanks!
