Hello I had a really nice Desire S running Virtuous ROM.
Unfortunately my GPS was not working well so I had to restore it to factory settings.
That means unrooting and S-On again.
I tried doing that running this from my desktop:
RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.5_Radio_20.4801.30. 0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_219480_signed
The whole process went well and the Program showed no problems updating my phone. Then it shows it was finished but my phone did no more than show a white screen with the green HTC logo.
Now I can only do volume down+power button I get all the details of how my warranty is void. Starting with showing Alpha rev and S-off. :-(
-Trying recovery ends up showing a phone with red triangle and exclamation mark
-Fastboot does not give me any useful options
-Factory reset just leads to the white screen with green HTC logo
-SIMLOCK Don't know what this is
-IMAGE CRC does things like calculating but then just goes back to menu.
Does anyone know what happened and what I can do to fix it?
I miss my phone already. :-(
Try to get PDXXX.IMG file(stock one) for your devices and load in your SD.
and then reboot with recovery. it will automatically update PDXXX.IMG
Are you making the selections in Hboot with the power button? If you make it with the trackpad (if the desire has one) that gives you the red triangle.
@outfront37
I was guessing the same.
It still reads my SD card in recovery but it will not accept any file names that are not predefined. That means I need the ROM in a zip format with the correct name and use it to recover.
Now I just need to figure out how to distract the zip image from the RUU.
have solved you problem, because i also want go to stock by using this ruu...
This tutorial worked for me!!

hello all,
I am new here and I have been searching the forums for a few days as well as the internet but I could not seem to find one that had my same problem, but if there is can you please direct me to it and apologies for that.
I was installing a new rom, the Blackout ICS Incredible v3.0.0 FULLY WORKING!!! [4.0.4][Sense 3.6], onto my inspire i did a full wipe using FULL_WIPE_1.5_EXT4_.zip and I cleared the caches. the install i thought went well because it went to 100% and i even chose what kind of background i could as well as choosing to over clock my processor. The phone the restarted after all of that and it went to the htc screen then faded to black, after about ten minutes of it being black screen i pulled out the battery.
Now when i try to recover it it wont go into hboot and it just goes to the htc white screen then it quickly fades to a black screen and stays like that.
so my question to you all is a Jtag the only way i can save my phone or is there something else i can do?

Im sorry but I dont understand. I cannot enter hboot no mater what i do and don't you need to enter hboot to reflash it?
True, but I'm hoping you are doing something wrong.
Pull battery, wait a few minutes, place back in. Press and hold Volume down, then power button. Does it go into hboot? If not.

Edit: you are the first report with that issue after trying to flash that rom. My bet (that is, if you are new), you are not doing something wrong.

I really appreciate the help Teichopsia , but I've tried the power /volume - method many times and it still wont go to hboot. if it helps this is the 5 time i have have flashed a rom on my phone (and it is rooted) and yes sadly i had to be the first person to be unlucky enough to get my phone bricked from the blackout rom :crying:
i think i could get out of this mess if i could only get into hboot.
reading the method you linked to me will it work if i cant even get to the hboot screen? my phone only stays of the white htc logo screen for about 3 seconds then it goes to a lit black screen
on a side note should i report what happened to team blackout to see if they have any soloutions?
The only thing I can think of is trying to get into hboot without the sd card and sim card.
The rest is beyond my knowledge.
You'll need to wait for someone more knowledgable than myself to help you.
Remember, first press and hold the volume down button, while holding that down press the power button. Do not release either button till it shows the hboot. If that doesn't work, pull the battery for five minutes and try again. If you did this part exactly like that, then you can skip it.
Well, you already posyed your issue here, just wait for someone to help you. Glevitan is bound to show up sooner or later.

I would see if you can send commands to it from adb while its in the blacked out state. adb is pretty easy to use and can be found easy online. if you get it installed type "adb devices", if it recognizes your device type "adb reboot bootloader" or "adb reboot recovery".

i also have the same problem. i'm using a DHD. and to add to that, my volume rocker is broken. i wonder why the warning not to select reboot immediately after installation wasnt part of the download as a readme or something. i may have just lost a perfectly good phone as a result
I can confirm as a third user and one knowledgable in flashing roms that the ICS blackout does the same thing to my phone. I can also confirm that pulling the battery and then trying hboot just results in the white htc screen instead of just popping up hboot. I was able to boot into recovery from the white htc screen by using adb and doing the "adb reboot recovery" command. I am able to restore my backup just fine so you guys will be able to fix it. it must just have a bad boot image for the version of hboot that we have installed.

Im sorry but this is the first time i have ever done something like that can you give me a step by step instruction how to do it or a link that says how, i dont want to sound lazy but I scared to mess up my phone even more
Use this guide its very easy. if you have already used your phone on your pc and the drivers are installed all you need to do is download the easyadb and follow the instrucions to where is says to type adb.exe. once it is started just type adb devices to make sure it sees your device and then adb reboot recovery
Ignore the fact the instructions are written for a xoom as it will work for any android device with the drivers already installed, which they should be from rooting, syncing and all the other stuff you have probably already done on pc.
UPDATE: I reinstalled ICS blackout but instead of wiping myself i just let aroma installer do it and everything went fine this time. I noticed the aroma installer reformats everything to ext4. its not mentioned in the op as a requirement but seems thats the case. Hboot version has nothing to do with it like i previously commented. It really is a cool rom with both ics and sense. I have only tried the sense version so far
Hope this helps?

Just in case-- to get into recovery you must press and hold the volume down for a few seconds and then hold the power button. Do not do press them both at the same time. I realize you wrote that your volume rocker seems or is broken but I wrote above just in case-- when I first tried to root my phone, I was pushing them both at first and thought my rocker was broken....
Since you rooted the phone originally-- not sure how you did it. But if you go to this link you can download recovery flash. Read the "readme" file:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29208930&postcount=10
Assuming you can get into recovery-- then reload the blackout ROM but you MUST let the aroma installer wipe and format do not use any other wipe/format tool. Then do NOT press the "FINISH" button-- instead press the back arrow-- you want to go back to flash recovery and reboot from there. If you press finish (like I did multiple times, the phone will just lockup).
Best of luck!
Three of us confirmed that hboot was inaccessible even after battery pull. I am no stranger to this device as well. The only fix was using adb reboot. Also if you actually reformat your partitions to ext4 before install, then aroma will install correctly. It's just not mounting anything if it's still in ext3 format. Definitely better to just do the full wipe within aroma though. I do agree with not hitting restart from aroma but someone already mentioned that a few posts up.
Thank you thank you thank you
After putting it into abd it recognized it and then i was able to put it into hboot. Im not out of the woods yet, but after not being to see hboot in so long, well its just amazing to see it again
ok now its in hboot it gives me 4 choices
bootloader
Reboot
Reboot Bootloader
power down
apologies again but just for reassurance which one should i select?
THANK YOU GUYS for getting me this far!!!
special thanks to Gizmoe for suggesting the adb route

I did exactly as you said I pressed finished and it asked if i wanted to reboot i said no. then it sent me back to recovery mode crossing my fingers hoping to see that it works:fingers-crossed:
Now, just manually reboot.

You saved my phone!!
Thank you guys sooo much this Rom is great once I got past that minor issue
My phones working better than ever I even oced it a little bit
Again I am eternally grateful to you guys and team black out for this great Rom!
I have an HTC One V. I successfully unlocked the bootloader without problems.
But I tried rooting it, and after clicking install my phone rebooted and came to the HTC logo screen, where it has red writing underneath that says
"This build is for development purposes only do not distribute outside of HTC without HTC's permission ..."
It would not start up, so I had to hold the power button down and manually restart it. Then it started up normally, but is NOT rooted.
I also tried installing the CWM, and got the same logo screen with red writing.
What can I do? I have searched the internet and cannot find a solution.
The screen does not go away until I manualy restart.
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply!
Unfortunately, my problem is still unsolved.
I am trying to install the OTA update. I have a rooted S-OFF vzw m8 and I put TWRP on the recovery partition.
I have gathered that I need to put the stock recovery back on, so I got the img from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2723159. When I boot to recovery now i get the red triangle with the exclamation point and when I do the update it fails.
Anyone have any ideas to try, just let me know what information you need.
Thank you for the help in advance.

When you get the red triangle press volume up and power. Then choose update from either phone storage or SD storage (wherever your update zip file is)

That still didn't work, pressing the volume up and power button at the same time doesn't do anything on that screen.
What I did was download the OTA update, press install. It shuts the phone down and then when it comes back up I see the green circle and it seems to be updating and about half way through the update it stops and becomes the red triangle screen.
Any other ideas. Also I still have S-OFF is that a problem?
Thanks

I am having a similar issue. I have reinstalled the stock recovery, and after the update downloads, I click install. However my phone never shuts off, I just receive an error saying "They're was an error updating your HTC HTC6525LVM. No changes were made." What can I do here?

You can always run my s on ruu exe. Even if you are s off. It will update system and firmware and will not wipe data.
Ok please bare with me I'm new to the rooting scene. Ok, so as some of you may know there's a new update (6.10.531.10 - something about audio issues). So, I keep getting the notification to update and I've been trying to update for a while. Now, my phone (HTC One T-mobile) is rooted and every time I tried updating it would take me to the TeamWIN reboot thing (I don't know what to call that). So, I did some research and it turns out I had to install a stock recovery, update, then reinstall my custom recovery. So, I did install a custom recovery and everything is fine (not sure If it was, but my CID is TMOB010, something like that). However, the problem occurs everytime I press install it reboots fine and it goes into the green triangle downloading, then it goes all the way or close to it and it switches to a Red Triangle With an Exclamation Mark, and theres nothing I can do from there. The only thing I can do from there is hold the power button and wait for it to restart and it goes back to normal, and the cycle repeats again. Can someone please help me?
Edit: I do have S-ON if that makes any difference.
