[Q] HTC Senation S-Off after repairs

Hello,
I have maybe a stupid newb question. I've been searching around for an answer but with no luck.
My problem is as follow:
I've been using HTC Sensation for half a year now, with custom roms / rooted / SuperCID. So I'm not new to flashing stuff.
Somehow I managed to brick my device before (due to stupid flashing decisions). So I flashed a random EU RUU and send my phone for repairs (via insurance services). They "repaired" my phone. I'm not sure if I got a new one or they really repaired it? (IMEI changed but S/N is still the same)
Today I got my HTC Sensation back. I was very happy and started to check the phone. It appears the bootloader is locked and S-ON. (CID back to T-MO003)
So I tried to S-OFF using revolutionary.io , to bad without luck...
I started searching what might be the problem read something about downgrading and revolutionary works... got a bit confused about all the different posts around.
What is the correct way to get S-OFF, custom recovery, and so on... back on my phone?
Bootloader info:
Locked
S-ON
HBOOT 1.18.0000

Thanks for your time!
Hoping for a fix,

how much did you end up paying for repairs

Nothing haha, I was suprised about that!
normally my insurance company bills 30 euro as "own risk".
I've read the agreements of the insurance and saw that damage caused to the phone by falling on the ground was covered. My phone had some visable damage on the egdes.
So I told the insurance that i dropped my phone. And because it stopped working i tried to reinstall the sofware to factory defaults.
What I did is: I flashed a RUU and that caused the brick, because the touch panel stopped working.
They "fell" for it.. kinda

ok tried to follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21922297#post21922297
problem, cant get my bootloader unlocked. HTCdev's unlock fails.
Error i get:
C:\bootloader_unlock>fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
sending 'unlocktoken' (0 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.140s]
writing 'unlocktoken'...
FAILED (remote: unlock token check failed)
finished. total time: 0.156s
File is in place, tried it multiple times and tried multiple tokens.. no clue on this!
Anyone that can help me to unlock and S-Off my device?

Did you try Revolutionary?

yes, I tried, but keeps failing aswel..
kinda start hating TMO for branding all their phones

This is the output of revolutionary
Enter beta key [ serial: HT17PV800204 ]: 47YUAhIWs2BusHJc
Beta key accepted - thank you for participating!
Zerging Root... this might take a minute or so.. Failed to get Root!

is USB Debugging activated?

also have you got the drivers from HTC sync installed, but sync uninstalled, together with any other software that might attempt to sync with the phone?

USB debugging tried both enabled and disabled.
HTC drivers version 3.0.0.007 installed.
no other software on my laptop or PC that use my phone.
The thing that confuses me is that after repairs my IMEI number changed but my S/N stayed the same.
Guess they only replaced some hardware and not the total phone..
if that is the case then we should be aware that this HTC Sensation was S-OFF / rooted before.
When my touchpanel stopped working I flashed a RUU and locked bootloader and put the phone back to S-ON. I believe that I was on a lower version HBOOT while I send the phone back (before the phone went for repairs).

Try this
or try unlocking at HTC.

HTC Unlock does not work!! I have explained that a few posts back.
I tried your link... after the command
adb shell /data/local/tmp/tacoroot --root
Click to expand...

my phone is bootlooping..

Ok did a factory reset via bootloader, now my phone works again.
but still no S-OFF..

The problem most likely is that you entered your details incorrectly at the HTC Dev site for unlocking your bootloader.
I don't think it checks the serial number to be genuine, I think as long as it follows a certain format it's accepted, so I would certainly check what you entered and try re-downloading the file from the Dev site. It's clearly NOT a driver issue, as CMD wouldn't even push the file to the phone if it was.
Hope this helps

Redo the taco root method. your phone will boot loop. don't restart and while bootlooping redo revolutionary. that worked for me. press the tanks button if it work for you .

Doubt this will work for them, as Revolutionary won't work without an Unlocked Bootloader and this is where they are getting stuck.

Just had contact with HTC themself to ask why the htcdev.com method is not working for me.
They explained that T-Mobile NL put their software on my phone while I send it for repairs. they put their bootloader on my phone, first i was like WTF but then he started mumbling about update that htcdev-tool does not support yet.. after some more " doubt-talk". He asked some software versions and made a case he would put trough to the technical support.
Guess that explains the HTCDev problem?????
/edit: I have tried over 15 times on the htcdev.com method
if I understand jaaystott correctly then first you need to have an unlocked bootloader in order to use revolutionary to S-OFF??
Any otherway to unlock the bootloader, because this htc method will take some time..

never tried it this way but I cant imagine that it would work since the bootloader is still locked.

Flash some other offical RUU, that should do it

Taco root will give revolutionary access to files he cannot modify before. In all cases he can try if it doesn't work he will have to unlock first with htcdev then redo the whole operation.

Yes thats correct. Until the Bootloader is Unlocked nothing can be installed other than apps from the Market
As for the problem, I highly doubt that it's T-Mobile's Bootloader, I mean surely loads of other people on OTA's would have had this issue.. surely somewhere someone has reverted to stock and then realized that this is the problem?
I think it's likely the change of IMEI might have done it, could be the wrong IMEI associated with that Serial Number and so it won't flash.

[Q] Cannot connect to 3G towers

Hi all,
I've a frustrating problem which is keeping me from being able to enjoy my wonderful Desire S -- hoping someone here can assist.
Background
I had a Desire S on the old 0.98 series HBoot which ran the Saga LBC mod ROM beautifully. Sadly it met with an unfortunate demise involving a glass of water in a dark room. The reason for sharing this is to explain that this model of phone, my SIM card and that ROM worked flawlessly on my network before.
Current State
I now have another Desire S, but it came with the annoying new HBoot which the Revolutionary hack can't deal with. I used the HTCdev method to unlock things meaning I could put custom ROMs on, although I have to use fastboot to flash the boot.img and then install the zip from recovery. No biggie.
However, I have been unable to connect to a 3G tower since having this new phone. I've tried both the Saga LBC mod (v0.6.0) and the Primo-S (v4.0) but only ever get a 2G connection. I've tried selecting WCDMA only via *#*#INFO#*#*, but when I do that it just immediately switches back to whatever option it was on before. I've tried other SIM cards, no joy (my SIM in an old Samsung works fine for 3G). The APN is definitely right.
I was going to try flashing a new radio, but the HTCdev unlock seems to block that:
Code:
mymachine$ ./fastboot flash radio radio.img
sending 'radio' (25856 KB)...
OKAY [ 4.328s]
writing 'radio'...
(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 8.701s
Doing the rename of the zip to PG88IMG.zip and putting on the SD card does result in it being unzipped in recovery, but then nothing happens -- no option to install it.
From reading round, I can't find any way of going back to 0.98 Hboot after using HTCdev unlock so that I could flash a radio. My current radio is 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M
Help, I'm going mad!
Louis

2 options:
1) Your current Desire S is flawed.
2) Even though you think the APN is 100% right, it's actually wrong.
Option 1 is very improbable.
In any case, you can relock the phone to be able to downgrade and root it the Revolutionary way. There is a guide, please look for it, it's in the relevant sticky thread.

Thanks for the reply -- do I take it that it is not possible that the radio image is incompatible just for 3G with these two ROMs? In other words, does the fact that the radio image works for 2G mean that it should work for 3G too and so playing with radio images is likely a waste of time?

Yes, the probability of faulty baseband firmware is close to 0. I wouldn't count on it happening.

[Q] There may be no solution to what I've done.

Hello everyone. I've been following XDA since I first laid hands on a Nexus One. Thanks to all of you, I've been able to hack, mod, customize, etc. with only a few close calls. My ATT One X has proven to be a little more tricky and unforgiving. Long story short, I'm stuck in fast boot with an incorrectly changed CID (HTC_621) and a relocked bootloader. I was hoping to get another unlock token from HTC but I think they've abandoned the link. My only other hope was to edit the CID of the "android-info" file in the rom.zip of the RUU, but WinRAR says corrupt archive error when I change the text file. WinZIP won't even open the package--says its invalid. Bottom line, I've exhausted all resources as far as recovering from bad flashes and boot loop. My problem is that damn CID. Any bright ideas guys?

Official ROM zips are signed.
The signature makes the zip non standard so some apps wont open them and most everything else will not modify the file.
Even if you could modify you would make the signature invalid so it would not flash unless you had s-off.
By "Abandoned link" do you mean HTC will not send you an unlock token because the CID is invalid?
Have you tried your previous unlock token?
Without getting a valid unlock token I am unsure if what you can do.

Just out of curiosity, what were you trying to do exactly and what CID is that?

he was probably trying to flash the international jelly bean =)

It's an Endeavour CID for HTC Asia in Taiwan. And we wonder why HTC locks bootloaders and write-protects system partitions.
To the OP: This would not have worked anyway because you were trying to install software for a completely different phone.
Your original unlock token should still work. Trying unplugging and powering off your phone, rebooting your computer, and try flashing it again.

I thought unlock tokens were locked to the current CID?
If you change CID you need a new unlock token?
That is how my phone worked

It's worth a shot. If it doesn't work, I don't see any way out. He can't run the RUU, he can't boot up, and he can't unlock. There might be some low-level fix via Linux. Try the unbricking Evita thread.

Annoying red text message during boot splash with strong white background color disturbing my eyes
After S-OFF i installed CyanogenMod 13.0 on my Htc One A9
I did my research I found that I needed an image that is not signed, that is called aboot.bin for our model Htc one A9,
Therefore I requesting if someone have a aboot.zip so I can flash it with
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Code:
fastboot flash zip aboot filename_aboot.zip
example this thread have a solution for HTC one M8 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2710503 Dev Santod040
It would also be nice to have a logo-Builder for the htc one A9 model and flash to the correct partition-block or adb'ing the shell witch busybox-binaries to the memory-Block in the emmc example ""dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p?? of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p??""
Example for the boot-logo-builder by Dev AnkadNikov
Send me aboot.zip-files so I can upload to you folks! or just post your self in this trhead with the right description of :
modelid
cidnum
mainversion
Warning! Don't do it until I confirm it works... It should also work with signed aboot.img I think (I will resarch, and tell you that later in this Htc One A9 development thread.

aboot.bin binaries for download
Here I will upload various aboot.bin for your precious phones, folks!

This is a bad idea. Flashing unsigned firmware to the A9 can result in 1) device automatically being set to S-ON, or 2) brickage (I know, because I bricked one this way). Unless you've tried this yourself and NOT bricked (and even if you have), I don't recommend this to anyone, and I'm pretty sure @jcase would agree.

Here's aboot.bin I just dumped from my device. (mmcblk0p12)

The last ota I took from HTC was 1.55.617.4
HTC USA Unlocked

For me only appears this red warning if i unlocked the bootloader. This is the reason why i always have boot relocked (no warning if s-off)

Is there any way to s-off without using sunshine? I'm Detailed for cash and can't afford the 25 at this time.

Does anyone know how to unhard-brick A9? I killed HBOOT accidentally. Now it's only detected as Qualcomm Device and nothing is being loaded?
---------- Post added at 11:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 AM ----------
I have patched in hex editor and removed all that text that came in red (without changing the checksum) from `aboot.bin` that I extracted with `dd` from mmcblk0p12. Later, `fastboot flash aboot aboot.bin` under download mode didn't work. `dd` under `adb shell` also did not do anything.. Then I rebooted to bootloader and ran `fastboot flash aboot aboot.bin`. The message was - success. I happily rebooted and that was the end of the my HTC One A9 .
Is there a way to fix this POS? It's hard bricked!

@Captain_Throwback
You write in your post above that flashing unsigned firmware to the A9 is a bad idea.
Frist thing is I believe you...I also flashed on my first A9 modified hboot (without red warning)...
I made the same changes like I did on m7/M8/M9/HTC10 (had never a Problem with them) but with A9 baam!
I made a nice paperweight....can you tell me why did this happen only to A9?
Why did this modified hboot hurt only A9 so badly and all other devices I tried all went well?
thanks in advance

You mix up software version (401) with CID.
You can check your CID with "Simple CID Getter" on the Play Store.

Hi everyone so customer didn't want the phone in the end as it couldn't be repaired so didnt bother returning to pick it up so like I do with all things I tinker and I've spent a long long time trying to fix the OS and I have finally done it yayyy scored myself a free U11,
So I dont know how it managed to work, because I had main version 2.33.710.9, and the package that actually worked to repair it and flashed was main version 1.11.710.5 or something like that, my bootloader was re locked and S-ON and nothing I tried would work phone had no recovery and would not boot all i would get is your device is corrupt, couldn't unlock the bootloader again all I would get is a message to state the 3 killswitches are active and to disable them but couldn't without a functional OS.
The 1.11.710.5 file I tried over the course since last post with normal fastboot didn't work, then I tried a series of htc_fastboot didnt work, I even used the fastboot binaries provided by HTCdev that didnt work, I tried every command I could rack up in my brain but still the body thing wouldnt flash I fixed roughly 6 RUU flash errors I was facing but the only one I couldn't get past was Ruu security fail zip from USB command, this told me it was something system wise, but had reinstalled everything including drivers gave all fastboots elevated privileges tried a million diff computers and cords ( lucky I run a phone shop hehehe )
Now something has completely slipped my mind I had a HTC 10 batch tool on my computer and had completely forgotten it had it's own terminal interafce, (which is a fully sik purple might I say) all I did was place the file into the path that the batch took was installed to which was com I do believe and then opened the batch tool up & typed " htc_fastboot oem rebootRUU" after i had put the device into download mode and connected device,
Device rebooted to RUU, all I did was type htc_fastboot flash zip <file_name> and it flashed all 28 zips from the 1.11.710.5 device rebooted and was now met with the HTC logo and phone booted straight up like nothing ever happened, once I had gotten the FRP lock removed (only took 5 minutes) not very good HTC lol I then went to the setting menu to software Info only to find out that the firmware was still 2.33.710.9 but the firmware file was specifically 1.11.710.5 as i had gotten it from the google spread sheet here on xda developers,
So there you have it everyone I hope this helps you repair your devices it seems it's all in the terminal used to flash the device as long as the file is also signed though I can't be 100% on that as I'm not sure the zip i used was signed either but anyway phone is working great and now it gets to be used and abused as a dev phone for myself

The 1.11.710.5 file I tried over the course since last post with normal fastboot didn't work, then I tried a series of htc_fastboot didnt work, I even used the fastboot binaries provided by HTCdev that didnt work, I tried every command I could rack up in my brain but still the body thing wouldnt flash I fixed roughly 6 RUU flash errors I was facing but the only one I couldn't get past was Ruu security fail zip from USB command, this told me it was something system wise, but had reinstalled everything including drivers gave all fastboots elevated privileges tried a million diff computers and cords ( lucky I run a phone shop hehehe )
Now something has completely slipped my mind I had a HTC 10 batch tool on my computer and had completely forgotten it had it's own terminal interafce, (which is a fully sik purple might I say) all I did was place the file into the path that the batch took was installed to which was com I do believe and then opened the batch tool up & typed " htc_fastboot oem rebootRUU" after i had put the device into download mode and connected device,
Device rebooted to RUU, all I did was type htc_fastboot flash zip <file_name> and it flashed all 28 zips from the 1.11.710.5 device rebooted and was now met with the HTC logo and phone booted straight up like nothing ever happened, once I had gotten the FRP lock removed (only took 5 minutes) not very good HTC lol I then went to the setting menu to software Info only to find out that the firmware was still 2.33.710.9 but the firmware file was specifically 1.11.710.5 as i had gotten it from the google spread sheet here on xda developers,
So there you have it everyone I hope this helps you repair your devices it seems it's all in the terminal used to flash the device as long as the file is also signed though I can't be 100% on that as I'm not sure the zip i used was signed either but anyway phone is working great and now it gets to be used and abused as a dev phone for myself

Congrats on getting the phone revived. I tried all what you had mentioned in your earlier post except what you mentioned about the "HTC 10 Batch Tool". Never heard of it until now. Well too bad for my phone as I sent it out to HTC Repair and it is in their hands now (3 weeks and counting). Yep, my mistake was relocking the phone when I wanted to receive the OTA update (phone was rooted but I didn't flash any custom ROM). Thanks for the post.

Hey mate yeah I spent weeks on end trying everything it seems the HTC 10 batchtool was the saviour here on xda somewhere as that's where I got it from the batch tool has it's own terminal built into it and it must still hold official HTC code in it somewhere to allow the package to be flashed,
Least you know for next time if it happens again to avoid that hefty repair bill by HTC

When you use Sunshine.apk you can set S-Off and flash Nougat

I read this topic, but this metod requires working TWRP partition I got only (relocked) bootloader and download mode, so have to try Chimera Tool or something like that.

I was still S-ON and had Relocked BL OEM unlock was OFF due to no working OS ( was corrupt) no recovery, only download, bootloader and RUU mode,
the HTC fastboot batch tool allows rollback of the bootloader without paying $25 for sunshine off to do it, ive just seen this now to lol only took 3 months to reply
I actually made a post on how to fix any flash errors like that a while ago its in the HTC U11 forums 1.5k veiws and counting
