HTC One SV Revert to Stock Help (for update)

Hi All,
Of course the first thing I did after getting my new HTC One SV is root it and install LBE privacy protection to stop data leakage. However recently ive been getting a notification of an update to jelly bean through my phone provider (Vodafone Australia). However this will not install due to custom recovery image so the pre-install check fails. I cannot find stock recovery images anywhere and even if I did, due to presence of clockwork mod cant push images via Android SDK (skips straight past hboot to clockworkmod so isn't detected as an available device).
Can anyone help me get my phone back in a state where I can install the new update and the re-root?
Am not 100% noob, am familiar with custom roms and basics required to root and use SDK, this is my 3rd android device ive played with so hopefully this question is not tooooo SIGH.
Seems like HTC one SV is too new to have its on page in XDA support?

Hi there,
Unfortunately I don't have permission to post messages in that thread, nor does it seem the appropriate place to ask my question as it is an area for resources not help.

You must have 10 posts to write in some threads. Try ask in thread root for One sv. Have you bootloader unlocked ? What is your hboot number? For now when you update to JB via OTA you can't make s-off and next you can't back to previous hboot version.

Yes bootloader is unlocked, I have clockworkmod working, in fact I think that is the problem. If I could get back to original recovery image I think the OTA would work
HBOOT number is 1.01.000

What you have to do is, download the OTA Update (will be located to sdcard/download/), copy to pc and unzip it. You will find another firmware.zip, there is the jelly bean recovery inside. Flash this JB recovery over fastboot.
Boot.img/Kernel also have to be stock and maybe bootloader also locked (for this i'm not sure), then you should be able to install JB.
But think about, if you need S-Off, cause you only get this on ICS.

Thanks this sounds like the best advice I have had yet. MANY THANKS SIR!
However at the moment I have problems getting ADB/fastboot to recognise the phone is connected (using command line). Just says waiting for device and nothing happens. Is this because I have clockworkmod installed? I just got a new PC and installed latest ADB/SDK and latest HTC sync software so everything should be latest. I cant do much if I cant give commands unfortunately. If I solve this I will post an update.

Can be related to cwm! Look into my index thread, there is a link to cwm with working adb or use TWRP2.5.
Good luck.

Yes I thought that might be the case but was not having any luck with search results to find out what to do. Thank the internet gods for you! Going to your thread now XD!

I had similar issue with an update, the reason is that the stock recovery has some commands that neither cwm nor twrp have.
Here's what I did to fix it and update succesfully:
- extracted recovery.img from the update itself
- put it in the same directory as fastboot program
- attached the device with debug usb mode on on the pc
- command 'adb reboot bootloader'
- when the device rebooted in fastboot: 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'
- after that I was able to update without problems
note that you need to flash back twrp or cwm if you want root.
Of course you need unlocked bootloader, android-sdk's platform tools and adb drivers to do this, but you should already have them if you flashed cwm
good luck!

DUDE! THATS TOTALLY WHAT I WANNA HEAR, however, ive been having enormous trouble getting fastbood/ADB to recognise the phone is attached, I have tried the universal clockwork mod ADB driver which didnt work, and I havent had any luck folloing the instructions on Splatterhand's other threads in getting it recognised. The command fastboot devices just leaves a flashing cursor FOREVER! Other commands leave the message "waiting for device". According to splatterhand ADB/Fastboot wont recognise the phone as attached because of clockworkmod and therefore I cant push any commands or files...how did you solve this?

OMG
'adb reboot bootloader'
THATS THE MISSING PIECE OF THE PUZZLE!!!! THAT TOTALLY WORKED AND GOT ME TO FASTBOOT ON THE PHONE!
Because the phone wasnt booting into booloader (CWM instead) I just assumed the same would happen if I used that command from adb but no, it totally worked....i wonder if the CWM universal driver i installed had anything to do with that...
anyway, CHAMPION YOU!
Good tip on extracting the recovery from the OTA itself, will do, and I will try to get a copy to Old.Splatterhand for other vodafone Australia users so they have the OTA and recovery at hand.
Will report back if I have full success to confirm your steps!

Just a thought, if you're upgrading from ics to jb, I think you should use ics recovery (I guess you can grab it from another ruu)... anyway, glad to be of any help

So I took your advice and pulled a recovery image from the ICS Cricket (using the link in splatterhand's thread to stock resources) image. Downloaded the OTA and went to apply it, got past boot/recovery screen checks and all was looking good until i got to a screen with what looked to be an SD card icon and a loading bar under a larger phone icon with a green recycle type circle over it. That loading bar stopped about half way with a red triangle and exclamation mark (i.e. during the update process). Fortunately not bricked. It may be that I need the original Vodafone AU recovery image, or that there was something about the ICS OTA image that I used that made it fail. Not sure. Will try to find another stock recovery image.

Applied recovery from EU RUU stock and while that went fine and can boot into htboot no problem, when applying the OTA update it skips the fastboot and gets stuck on HTC One screen like normal loading except stuck.
I think I will try old.splatterhand's recommendation now that I am able to push things to the phone through adb/fastboot, so thanks for your commandline tip but now I must try flashing the JB recovery etc as outlined in his post.
The problem may be that the OTA is expecting a vodafone australia stock recovery as i seem to be getting different outcomes depending on which stock recovery image I apply...
I have sent Old.Splatterhand the Vodafone Australia JB OTA file for the main thread collection in case anyone wants it or the images therein, but at the moment it is of little use to me hehe.

SUCCESS! How to update to Jelly Bean from modded/rooted HTC One SV ICS
Ok so I should probably post this somewhere else so old.splatterhand can just post the summary. But here is what happened and a combination of your advice helped me so super thanks to both of you (madpausa and old.splatterhand)!
So I was in a situation where having rooted my stock HTC One SV and flashed clockworkmod I couldnt apply the Jellybean update that was constantly in my notifications bar (referred to as OTA update). When I tried to reboot into recovery clockworkmod would take over instantly and I was unable to run commands from fastboot command lines.
I was however able to download the update which could be found in (internal memory) "Downloads" folder "OTA_K2_UL_JB...zip".
In order to apply the advice of madpausa I had to first revert to stock recovery image before applying the recovery image from the OTA. So I got a stock recovery image from the cricket version (see old.splatterhand's thread) and flashed that first.
- put it in the same directory as fastboot program
- attached the device with debug usb mode on on the pc (select HTC Sync) and fire up the CMD interface for command line time (cd Android)
- command 'adb reboot bootloader' which actually did boot the phone into Hboot and not clockworkmod, so that solved the ADB/fastboot issue for me
- when the device rebooted in fastboot: 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'
Once I had reverted to stock recovery I was then able to apply the rest of madpausa and old.splatterhand's advice
What finally worked for me was copying that OTA JB update zip to pc my and unzipping it. Inside there was firmware.zip, which also needed to be unzipped and inside is the jelly bean version recovery.img.
- put it in the same directory as fastboot program (and remove the other recovery.img or overwrite)
- attached the device with debug usb mode on on the pc
- command 'adb reboot bootloader'
- when the device rebooted in fastboot: 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'
Then when I booted up my phone again it asked me if wanted to download and install the update, which I did. The phone rebooted, update applied, all good!
Hboot did not have to be re-locked, so dont go as far as locking your phone again.
Thanks to everyone's help for this one, I am now a happy use of Jellybean on my previously modded HTC One SV...now to get superuser back and stock that data leakage with LBE again!!!

Good to see you got your problem sorted out!:highfive:
And the download of OTA was succesful, thanks!:good:

This is the exact problem I had. I started trying to root my HTC One SV (Boost Mobile) a couple of months ago. I got past the HTC unlock bootloader, but I got confused by the rest of the rooting guide, so eventually I gave up on finishing the rooting process. Ever since then, it has said ***TAMPERED*** in hboot when I go in there. Well, just like you, I started getting the JB update notification in the OTA. I tried to install it like 15 times, but it always just rebooted into the existing image I had, which was the stock image.
So today I decided to try and finish the root and then find a JB ROM to install. old.splatterhand helped me out with getting it rooted, and it was a success. But when I asked him about JB ROMs, he said I had to have S-off. When we spoke a little more about it, he pointed me here, telling me that he helped you get the root back after you got through the OTA update.
So now, I guess I need to try and follow your instructions on getting the OTA update, and then go back to the thread where he helped you get the root back.
I'm a complete n00b to rooting android devices, but I'm pretty confident that I can do this with the proper guidance. I have rooted 2 Samsung SCH-i500s and today I finally got this HTC One SV rooted. I'm starting to see how it all works.
If you don't mind, let me know of any details of issues you faced that may not be in the guides you followed. That would be a great help.
Congrats on getting yours all done.
Thanks.

Need Help:can't flash any recovery,RUU doesn't restore my soft,One S- no OS

Hi, everything messed up from using the stupid TWRP 2.6.0.0 .... I was going to flash a custom rom , but it didn't let me, so I did a little research that I need 2.3.3.0 in order to instal any custom rom.So I tried to switch to 2.3.3.0 but it didn't let me... after that I tried to push stock recovery and now i'm stuck at the white HTC Entering Recovery ( pink letters) screen, ( The recovery just doesn't load) ... I just want to finish with this , and go back to my stock htc rom with not roots or anything.. im tired of this seriously.....
When I try to run RUU I get stuck at the Black HTC Letters screen , the the setup stops and says that it will try to repair my phone, sadly with no result every time.. I think that I don't have any OS on my phone right now, because when RUU starts it shows :
Change image version from : ( blank space)
To: ..... bla bla bla , ( the version of the ruu) ...
I have no problems with entering fastboot and unlocking/relocking my Hboot.
Any help about restoringmy phone will be appreciated . Thanks , I'm online all the time so if I get any responses I'll answer quick.
P.S. I can't mount my usb storage from anywhere, and it doesn't show up on my PC when i connect the usb

Don't lose hope, don't panic.
Tell me which RUU did you use?
Also, what is your CID?
How did you flash your recovery ?

still , tried these two:

I flashed all recoveries with ONE S all in one tool kit,
first i was with TWRP 2.5 i think , then i flashed 2.6, and 2.3.3.... now I flashed the stock recovery , still stuck...

Okay, just now I noticed. You used two Different RUUs for two different versions.
The 1st one is for S3/C2 version, the 2nd one is for S4 version.
Use This Thread to download RUU's only for your version (S4 or S3 whichever you have got). In your case, it does matter which RUU you use.
If you need any help further just ask away.

the thing is that the RUU doesn't get to the process of installing , and I have used those RUU's before....
I need some solution the get to a working recovery and instal some kind of OS because the last time I could get in my recovery it said that I don't have any OS installed...

okay you gonna need fastboot for this. What I have been successful with is:
1. Download an RUU (VERSION SPECIFIC!).
2. Go into Bootloader -> Then select FASTBOOT
3. Connect your Phone to PC. It should say Fastboot - USB mode.
4. Run the RUU, it will get you through all the steps.

doesn't work as I've told you , it happens with every RUU ... I get the Black screen with white HTC letters...
I think that what RUU does is : it updates the version my software I think it just doesn't place a new software right away( just an update), but as TWRP said I don't have OS installed...

can anyone help me ?

Man you're making this difficult. The more I want to help you, the more you become hasty.
RUU doesn't do what you think. It puts New software, updates firmware (hboot, radio, RECOVERY), so yes it is basically a one-stop solution.
Please calm down as panicking won't help.
Tell me your One S version (S3/S4) at least? so that we can move forward in right direction. and also your CID
Tell me what recoveries and RUU you tried. and what errors do you get while you run them.
EDIT: Thanks to @tivofool I forgot to mention that you have to RELOCK your bootloader before running RUU

I'm with S3
I wrote the 2 RUU's I tried to use,
before that i tried TWRP 2.5.0.0,2.3.0.0.,2.6 and finally I flashed factory stock recovery that's it and both my carrier and bl are unlocked
P.S. : Yeah i knew about the relocking but still stuck on black screen with white HTC Letters

Black Screen with HTC is the oem update screen.
Okay do this please and we'll try to see if there's a problem with the HBOOT. Give me this info and We'll reflash HBOOT.
Go to fastboot and connect your phone to PC.
Enter this command from your PC:
Code:
fastboot getvar all

Oh yes sorry.

okay, so ... I'm going to explane everything I did, I hope I'll help some other people too.
I flashed TWRP from One_S_All-In-One_Kit_v4.0 but without luck, then i flash the factory stock recovery, still the phone was letting me into any of these two recoveries, then i decided reflash the same TWRP again and it worked,
First I couldn't mount the storage from the recovery , but it was still showing in "My Computer" , I had only one option and it was to Format the Storage. So I did.. then copied this rom with gapps on it ---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2164406
Fully wiped --> Flash Rom , then Flash Gapps, ---> then I booted in fastboot to boot from CMD the "boot.img" with "fastboot flash boot boot.img" from the Pacman Rom and then I Rebooted the HTC and Done
Huge thanks to @khan.orak
I hope I helped someone with the same ****tyass problem.

HTC One SV Boost.. Trying to UPDATE too 4.2.2 Not working

I have a Rooted and s off HTC one Sv from Boost mobile. I can download the OTA for Sense 5 and 4.2.2 but when I try to install it it cancels and says something like cant get ro.products.build = k2cl.. and something else ...
Im new to all of this, but Im really good with following a step by step guide if there is something I can read to fix this issue.
Im just trying to get the latest software available for this phone. And also if there is a way to edit the build.prop on this phone to make it run faster and increase the network speed too. that would be amazing. I have yet to find anything for this phon

Well, for boost mobile you can use a Ruu which they released for the latest available Software.
http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_...V_NV_Boost_2.20_150_release_389346_signed.exe
This will delete all of your data and your bootloader must be locked, if you are S-on (only as an info, in case you have unlocked at htcdev.com to gain root access).

Hi. Thanks.
So I need to turn the bootloader off and switch S off back to S on?
I dont remember what software I used to root it, it was on my other computer that got stolen.
How would I go about locking the bootloader? And turning the S back on? And once successful in getting the update will I be able to root it again?
Is there any other better roms I can flash on it now that is better? I would love to have KitKat on here if possible.. But as of now I know that cyanogen mod isnt supporting this device and all I know to do is update it to 4.2.2 with sense 5, if I could just figure out how.
Sorry for all the questions.
Last question is... I seen build.prop editing possiblities to be able to speed up 4g, 3g, and 2g networks speeds and even to bypass network caps, but no guides for htc one sv for boost. Are there any that I can be directed to to edit the build.prop to achieve this?

Don't know about boost specific tweaks.
Also there are no custom roms available for boost.
You are S-off, you didn't mention. But thats good! Don't go S-on, and no need to relock bootloader in this case, as far as i remember.
Backup everything you need, connect your device to your pc and run the Ruu. It will bring you to the latest software for your phone.

Ive been trying over and over to get the Ruu to work and I followed the instructions properly. And even deleted it and downloaded it again.
It keeps saying : Error 170 USB Connection Error. And wants me to check the USB sync cable or my connection to the PC.
But Both my cables work fine and my computer is new and nothing wrong with it. I am able to use my USB to Tether app just fine and im able to copy and paste to and from my phone and able to use HTC Sync manager too. SO Idk what the deal is.
Maybe some specifics about my setup may help.
My computer is an HP Envy Sleekbook with 8g of ram and i5 processor running windows 8.1 64bit.
My phone is the Boost mobiles version HTC One SV C525c with these details:
Android Version: 4.1.2
Sense: 4
Software number: 2.06.653.6 710RD
HTC SDK API: 4.65
HTC Extension Version: HTC Extension_Sense45_12
Kernel Version: [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPT
Build Number: 2.06.653.6 CL209682 release-keys
I dont know if that helps with my situation but just in case I added it.
Thank you and I appreciate the help

Do a research on google with "htc ruu error 170".
You will get many results, like this:

No matter what I do nothing seems to be helping
I have been googling for days. And been at it for hours today trying to figure this out.
I really just need a step by step guide. I dont understand this stuff.
So far, I downloaded and unistalled and reinstalled drivers for windows 8.1. I downloaded adb drivers and fastboot.
I tried to use RUU by going into Fastboot usb. I even tried to download the OTA update and then manipulate the update-script by deleting all the assert checks to stop getting the getprop errors. But still didnt work.
IDK what to do all I want to do is have my phone back to normal again and to be able to update it to the newest software version. Its annoying to see the update available notification in my tray and I cant do anything about it.
The closest I got so far was switching to the windows 7 computer and turning off the developer options menu. But then RUU starts to work but then stops at HTC fastboot.exe has stopped working. Im stuck.
Some more information about my phone just in case its helpful. :
Moonshine S-OFF
K2_CL PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
CID-SPCS_003
HBOOT-2.00.4444
RADIO-1.12.50.0516
OpenDSP-v9.2.0268.1214
eMMC-boot
I also got rid of CWM and put TWRP v2.8.4.0
I just went to the bootloader screen and tried to install the OTA file from there and also the OTA file that I deleted the assert build prop stuff from and I get the same error E: Error executing updater binary in zip
SO idk what to do but im determined to fix this.
Thank you much for helping me

Now my phone wont work at all.
Its stuck on the HTC screen and I cant figure out how to get it back. I know there is a way. This really sucks.

Theres is not much what i can do, because i don't know much about boost, and i don't have any files for it.
Maybe @Modding.MyMind can help you here, he has much more knowledge in this kind of stuff, than me.

Ok. I managed to get my phone unbricked by using windows 7 and using fastboot to flash the same operating system I was already using. Now I don't have twrp or cwm. Its just a red triangle now if I try to log into recovery.
It is also switched from moonshine s off to locked.
So I'm assuming I'm S on now and bootloader locked.
I went back to the RUU program you told me to install and it started to work but then stop and gave an error 158 image error. I googled it but I don't understand how to fix it.
Is there any way I can just get sense 5 and 4.2.2. I'm starting to think its not possible. But would be nice if I could.

I don't know, whats wrong here. What have you flashed on your phone to get it running?
A RUU? This would explain, that you loose twrp, because it flashes everything to stock. But it don't set S-off to S-on! That step has to be done manually by yourself.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/tacg3jdz84c6wlh/Pure_Jelly_Bean_4.1.2_TWRP_Backup.zip?dl=0
Download this pure 4.1.2 JellyBean backup made specifically for TWRP and extract the zip on to your desktop. Flash the TWRP recovery to your recovery partition using fastboot.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrprecovery.img
Reboot in to TWRP, make sure your device is plugged in to your computer.
Now before we move on further I need you to make a quick TWRP backup. You do not need to make a full backup. Just one will do since I am merely aiming to have the required TWRP backup directory be created on your device.
Did you make a quick backup? Good. Lets move forward.
Select the option to mount your usb (You should still be in TWRP). A window will pop up on your computer showing either your internal or external storage. Find the TWRP folder and look through it until you find the backup folder. Go inside the backup folder and you will see the files created to make your backup. Delete them all.
Copy my backup that you downloaded earlier over to that same directory. When done, unmount device from computer, then unmount device from phone. Select to restore your device using that TWRP backup. After completition, reboot your device, let the phone start up. Welcome back to 4.1.2.
Go to settings to manualkly update your device to 4.2.2 but before you accept the update you must make sure you flash back your stock recovery using the same instructions given at the beginning. DO not attempt to accept the OTA with TWRP installed, it will fail.

Hey thanks
Im on 4.1.2 now
Last night I went to this forum http://androidforums.com/threads/htc-one-sv-boost-stuck-on-splash-screen.826881. When I was there I followed the instructions that the guy gave the other guy for his problem, since I was bricked and stuck on the splash screen. I downloaded this https://www.dropbox.com/s/wqq04edwc844ufw/decrypted_k2_cl_2.06.653.6_rom.zip. And that got me back to 4.1.2 with sense 4.
Now since I did that it deleted the twrp I had on it and where it used to say moonshine S Off it now says LOCKED? So, I dont know what that means if Im s off or not anymore.
I went to download the update to 4.2.2 and it started to install but then just rebooted and it still asks me to update and im still on 4.1.2. I also tried the RUU again in fastboot mode and it will start to install and stops at error 158 image error. ? ... I also took the OTA update file that downloaded from the downloads folder and put it on my computer and tried to flash it with fastboot and it still stops after some kind of check. I even edited the update-script to delete the assert at the top and it started and stopped at a different error. So idk..
Right now my phone is back on and I can use it. I just want to get the update somehow. So maybe if you still think I should try again and do what you just mentioned, Ill do it tonight once i get to my desktop with win 7 since win 8.1 is stupid with this.

You should still be S-Off. If you boot up to your bootloader it will either say S-On or S-Off. You used a decrypted RUU so it is a good chance your bootloader is in fact locked. You lost TWRP because the "RUU" restored your device back with the original images as if your device came right out of the box. Which is the whole purpose of an RUU. As for the issue you are having with the OTA update, that seems a bit off, so just follow my instructions and you should be fine. Check to see if you are S-On or S-Off. Also insure that your bootloader is unlocked. If you are S-On then take the boot.emmc.win file from my backup and rename it to boot.img. Use fastboot to flash the boot.img to the boot partition.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
recovery.emmc.win is the stock recovery. Again, if you are S-On, then rename it to recovery.img and flash it using fastboot.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
This is required because being S-On will prevent you from writing to those partitions using DD. Requires you to be S-Off otherwise. If you are S-On, then that is fine. First focus on getting yourself up to 4.2.2. Once that has been accomplished then use rumrunner universal for HTC to gain S-Off again.

Hello
Sorry I havent been online lately to give an update.
Thank you for your help. I am successfully now on 4.2.2 with sense 5 by following your instructions.
So now all I have to do is Root again. Can you tell me an quick and easy way to Root again?? I did it last over a year ago on this phone and I think the way it was rooted was the reason I was having such issues. But idk.... Im open for better options on rooting the phone. Towelroot doesnt work for this phone, not that I every used towelroot, i just seen that lots of others are saying it worked and it was fast and easy.
After I root it, I want to be able to increase my phone storage too and be able to move apps to sd card instead of it using all my phone storage. It is already saying cant download bc of insufficient storage.
And other than that, do you know of a good build.prop script for this phone that can increase network speed and maybe bypass the data cap?
Also, I still dont know how I can tell if Im S off or S on? When I hold the vol down and power button, it pops up like it used too but instead of saying its S off it just says LOCKED?

Hi,
i flash a new ROM simple via TWRP. It is recommend to have a root phone, to update hboot and radio, to set Super cid: 11111111 and s-off. If you have this, you go in TWRP and you can install any ROM by click a button "intall" and choose the zip file.

Please help: How to return htc u11 to stock

Hi guys,
My phone now is on LeeDroid custom ROM (Build 1.03.401.6.9_g CL923215)
What are the steps to return the htc u11 to stock please?
The original software number of my phone is: 1.11.400.4
EDIT: I went to: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72425224&postcount=5
& downloaded stock recovery & nandroid TWRP backup (for 1.11.400.4).
However, I couldnt flash that nandroid TWRP from TWRP recovery.
Long story short, I just got the phone today, I made a big mistake by not inserting the simcard in & testing to see if the phone working or not.
So, I went straight through the process of unlocking bootloader, installing TWRP, Rooting, Installing custom ROM without making a nandroid backup.
For all that, the phone did not recognize the sim cards (tried both my sim & my gf's sim. not working)
The store will take back the phone as long as I return it to stock.
Thanks for your help!!!

You'll need to download the stock rom for your verison (ruu). Hopefully one is available. Check the guide section here.

Restore the TWRP backup, check everything is working, then flash stock recovery if you need to. The stock Nandroid should include recovery asfaik. I'm more of a trial and error guy lol. Read guide pages to know for certain, check HTC 10 guides, same steps.

download this Official RRU firmware and install it https://forum.xda-developers.com/u11/how-to/unlocked-htc-u11-software-update-6-19-t3624814

Use the ruu, you might need the HTC drivers but in the future never not make a backup, 15 mins could save u a major headache

Your going to need a full signed RUU zip matching your original firmware and CID buddy.
Based on your original build number its an Indian dual SIM device so here is the ruu:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634780026
1. Rename it to 2PZCIMG.zip
2. Lock your bootloader
3. Drop the zip on your external SD card.
3. Boot to download mode, at that point you will be prompted to flash... Accept... Profit.
If you don't have an external SD.
1. Lock your bootloader.
2. Boot to download mode.
3. Open a cmd window and run the below commands.
fastboot orm rebootRUU (hit enter)
fastboot flash zip (drag the zip into the cmd window then hit enter)

On the PC side, what was the exact error message?
you can ignore the warning from the phone side.
I had a similar issue the other day, but then I was able to run the RUU upgrade to rest my phone back to stock as I had to ship it back for a refund, to get the new Red ones
When I ran the RUU thing it wouldn't detect the phone, did a few things, and then it was finally able to detect the phone.
and when it started updating the Boot image it hung for a long while, I had to restart the phone back into download mode, then run the RUU again, and it was able to continue from there.
