Yeah yeah i read many guides, but when i wiping data/cache, and installing RUU phone gets stuck, im on S-OFF, REV

Now i have ERROR [131]: CUSTOMER ID ERROR

This is why people should actually put the effort into READING and UNDERSTANDING before they start doing things that can screw their expensive phone up.
I'll give you one pointer ----> HERE
Everything else is up to you, and I'm surprised that I'm in a good enough mood to actually help and not simply troll you into the ground.
As further advice - do a search on RUU and S-OFF

You stated that your phone IS S-Off. The whole point is that you should not flash an RUU on an S-Off phone as it will cause you to lose S-Off unless (like me and a few of us old-timers) you obtained S-Off with an XTC-Clip.
You have hBoot 2.00.0002 (or at least you HAD that version). You will need to see if you can still get into recovery, or get into fastboot, and get the current information for your phone.
You really, really need to do some searching and reading - you will only be helping yourself if you actually understand what you are doing and why.

What have you done so far? That is not recovery, it is the boot loader.

It was initially stock on a different menu with the volume bottons inactive, i could only enter hboot, i downloaded a PD98IMG but it wasn't the right version for my hard ware but atleast it got me to the boot loader menu with the volume bottons working.

Check my signature, go to post #7, read the guide. There may be something in there, can't remember.

What happens when you navigate to "Recovery" (with the volume buttons) and select it (with the power button)? Are you S-OFF or unlocked?

Apparently not. His bootloader is S-ON and doesn't display 'unlocked' like it would if he used HTCdev. I guess he was running fully stock. Don't know what could be the cause of his problem, but I think flashing an RUU should be enough to fix it, no?

If the file is correctly named PD98IMG.zip, it is located in the root of your sdcard and you get that message, then your sdcard might be corrupted...try using a different one.

Rather than the PD98IMG.zip method, use an RUU exe file (2 links below, whichever works). Connect your phone to PC in bootloader mode, then run the exe and wait till it's fully finished.

He is linking an .exe file. You need to boot in hboot, plug the phone and choose fastboot (you should see fastboot usb in red). From there you run the .exe file and everything should be working fine.
EDIT: Make sure that you install the drivers with the phone unplugged.

Hello glevitan your info helped me execute the file in sashank link, thanks guys but unfortunately it didn't work i got an error on the software wrong model and on the phone wrong RUU... the file i downloaded was "RUU_Ace_Sense" i guess a diffrent version may work as the process it self works fine just the file error if any one could help me with a link to a diff RUU that corresponds to my HTP Inspire 4G (at&t version)

[s-off] Moonshine s-off for One SV

Welcome to moonshine s-off for the HTC One SV . Developed by Fuses, beaups, and Hyuh. Enjoy.
1.) make sure htc sync is uninstalled

3.) make sure htc sync is uninstalled
4.) if you are having problems with fastboot, try a usb 2.0 port.
5.) make sure htc sync is uninstalled
6.) make sure other programs that interfere with adb and fastboot are uninstalled (PDANet, Kies, etc.)
7.) make sure htc sync is uninstalled
8.) if you use a third party firewall, be sure to grant access to distiller.exe as it checks for updates
9.) MAKE SURE HTC SYNC IS UNINSTALLED
10.) YOU MUST UNZIP THE ARCHIVE BEFORE RUNNING DISTILLER. DO NOT JUST TRY TO RUN IT FROM THE ARCHIVE.

No, jelly bean (only for boost mobile is ics).
You have to look at the Software Number.
For ics you can use Supercid and Facepalm S-off (except boost mobile).

All devices now supported
Boost (k2_cl) cricket (k2_plc_cl) gsm lte(k2_ul) and gsm only (k2_u)
All one Sv users can install this, it only takes five minutes. Boost mobile is still in testing, but it fully works.
Thanks beaups and fuses. Without them this wouldn't be possible at all.

Like to thanks oldsplatterhead for his stock rom.
Thanks again.
P.s when HTC releases 4.2 obviously a new hboot will come with it, wonder if moonshine s-off can be carried over? Guess it's too early to ask.... but I have faith it will be cracked.

Install custom roms
Hi, is there a change that something can go wrong using this method? Because I have used it after htc dev-unlock an rooting, and have S-off, but my phone doesn't install a custom rom. I understand that you have to be S-off to be able to install custom roms, right?

If you see, that you are S-Off, you should be S-Off, i think.
And you don't need to be S-Off to flash custom Roms, you also can flash with S-On, but you need to flash boot.img with fastboot then.
As i have seen your phone info, you have hboot 2, that means you had already jb installed. So why do you want to use the stock, odexed rom instead?

I want that because my phone acts weird. It doesn't remember whether I want to use my launcher or Sense, if I put a widget on my homescreen the next day there's a grey area where the widget was, etc. So I thought if I can install a stable rom that might be over.

It doesn't change unlocking or S-Off. It deletes all user data, all you brought to your phone (not external sd, internal sd i'm not sure), but not things in system.
It sets the software itself to the point where the phone came to you.

Worked perfect!! Nice job.

You are already on JB, so there is no real profit for you, cause mine is not modded.
Here a quote from another forum (thanks to wetbiker):
wetbiker7 said:
Make sure you have removed HTC sync from you computer. Also, make sure USB debugging is enabled in developer settings on your phone.
If you have HTC sync, make sure that you reboot the pc and the phone so that everything is reset and the files are completely removed from the pc.
Unzip the Moonshine zip that you downloaded and place it in a folder. With your phone fully booted, plug in USB and connect to pc. Click on the distiller and follow the prompts. Also, make sure you have a good charge on your phone because it'll take it between 5 and 10 minutes.
Also, if you are running a custom kernel, you will need to reinstall it after you have finished with Moonshine.
Edit: disable anti-virus and run the distiller as administrator.
Hope this helps.

Hi.
Quick question, I'm trying to help someone back in France with this.
If you're on JB (official OTA update) and do this procedure, will you :
- keep your data as they were just before ?
- keep your rom as it was before (ie : will you be able to install the next OTA updates without any trouble) ?
In one word : does this process just does S-OFF or does it change anything else ?
Thanks a lot !

Sensation not turning on

So I just got my Sensation today(unlocked, Bell version z710a) and followed this guide(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861) up to step 4A. The problem is, I forgot to enable smartflash(step 3A) before flashing the rom(same rom attached in step 4A). Now my phone won't boot up and I keep getting a message saying, "touch input stopped"(included pics of what it looks like).

}
And this message keeps popping up. Sometimes I'll remove the battery and turn it back on and this will come up:
And I will be able to go through the normal setup with the message popping up every 2 seconds. But as soon as I press "finish" after going through the setup, the phone will still not boot up properly and get stuck on either the htc logo or a blank screen.
I would truly appreciate any help, I've tried wiping data and rebooting as well, and I have no idea what to do now. Thanks!

I don't know :\... but also you can try to turn off your device, and remove the battery, and put it back, then press power button + volume up button & choose factory rest, it might work

[Q] Software Status Modified

ok.. Obviously I have a Verizon HTC One M8. I had previously rooted and put the venom ROM on it. Long story short, I went unrooted the phone, went back to S-On and thought everything was going to be ok when I called verizon for a real hardware defect. Problem is.. It shows "Software status: Modified in the bootloader and in the software information screen. I am on verizons official 4.4.4 release. how can I get the software status back to "official" without jumping thru the S-off and rooting hoops again?
I've searched and only came up with some stuff that is confusing to say the least and it had to deal with the G3...

Thank you very much for the links and the insight, I appreciate it. On a weird side note... I downloaded and installed the HTC sync manager so I could back up my stuff. There was a repair feature, so I clicked on it. 15 minutes later I am back on official status.

Where is this repair feature? I only see backup and restore. Neither of which works for me.

The repair was on the sync manager that I installed on my PC. Plugged my phone in and it gave me an option to repair.

Do you have a screenshot you could share. This is what shows up on my Sync Manager. I want to return my phone and this is the only thing stopping me from doing so.

It's the same thing my s on exe's use. Only difference is sync checks in with HTC. And sync won't repair a custom Rom. Use the exe's I made to be safe.

Official RUU 3.28.605.4 EXE/ZIP
Edit...I just opened this in webview so I could see your screen shot. You aren't getting repair option because you flashed the hk mod and it wasn't modified for use on vzw. I can tell by your mainver that it's not vzw. Should be 605 not 401. 401 is intl based roms. You can relock now but do not do not turn s-on until you fix your firmware using my exe.

I am using an EU phone, it's not on Verizon, sorry I should have specified. I bought it on Amazon.co.uk. I then followed this guide to revert it (which worked fine) but the "Software Status: Modified" flag still appeared.
I can't set S-OFF because of some errors that come up after chugging bottle 1.

@Sneakyghost probably has a file that will help you clear that problem. You are gonna need the latest signed encrypted firmware.zip for your phone. Vzw so far is the only carrier that gets the repair option in HTC sync.

Would using a RUU work?

If you have the latest for that carrier and os version. Would have to be the same or higher version.

There's this one on the HTC Devs site, will it work?
Many thanks.

Download that. Extract it. Find the firmware.zip inside it. Do not extract that. Instead, flash it in fastboot mode in ruu mode.
Fastboot oem rebootRUU
Fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
If you see any output about about immediately reflushing repeat the above command.
Fastboot reboot-bootloader
To get back to boot loader.

What will happen if it's not the correct version? Will I brick my device?

According to that screenshot it is not. Plus you are s-on so it won't allow you to flash wrong firmware.

Did you manage to flash the firmware.zip ? And did it work ? were you s-on or off when you flashed it?
