[Q] No working ROM, recovery, or RUU...

Hello all,
I have a Sprint HTC Hero that I may have utterly destroyed.
It will not boot normally or into recovery (stays at white HTC screen for hours)
So I have a bad ROM and a messed up recovery partition...
I've tried various RUUs and all of them end of with the same Error 131 Customer ID Error.
I've tried putting HERCIMG.zip directly onto the sdcard and running HBOOT - It finds the file, but I get the same (similar?) error: CID Incorrect! Update Fail!
Alas, this phone is S-ON...
My last resort is trying to recreate a goldcard:
I put the original SD card into another device and found the CID with this command:
cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:*/cid
However, I am not sure if I have done this correctly... the SD card will mount as a Removable Device, but when I try RUU or HBOOT from /sdcard/ it gives the exact same error.
When connected through USB, adb does not pick up the device, but fastboot does...
I'm on Windows 7 x64.
Thanks in advance for any helps and suggestions!
*another interesting note: It has no touch panel...

Ok, so you mount your sd card, THEN try to RUU? If that's what you're doing, don't mount the SD. Also, try running the RUU.exe, if fastboot sees the phone it should work (note the .exe, not .zip). Report back.

No, I have no way of mounting... It will only go into bootloader (HBOOT/FASTBOOT).
When I try to RUU, it's through FASTBOOT USB.

.exe from htc. I can't flash a zip from recovery because I have no recovery.
I've tried fastboot flash zip, but it says remote not allowed
All the RUUs detect the phone and can reboot it, but when it tries to update the image, I get the Customer ID error...

try google. I did and saw some stuff on there, but since it's not my phone with the issue, and I'm not paid tech support (nobody is on xda) you should go look around, maybe you can find a fix or someone who's had the issue and can help you. If you do get a fix, POST IT HERE WITH DETAIL, and change the thread title by adding the magic word "SOLVED" into it. Best of luck.

OK this might work, might not, don't get your hopes up. Open up whatever .zip or .exe you were trying and try to find a file called "android-info.txt" then open that and see if there's a line in there that says CIDNUM: ....... and tell me what the number says - Actually just post up all the stuff in there, model, CID, mainver...

So I've tried these RUU versions, and they're all signed, so I'm pretty sure there's nothing missing from them...
1.29.651.1
2.27.651.5
2.27.651.6
2.31.651.7
They're all official Sprint RUUs... Is it possible that my phone is not an official Sprint phone? Back when it was working, it said Sprint on the main menu... but I think the carrier was CredoMobile...

Ruh roh. I hope you can find a credo mobile ruu.

Credo's page links to the HTC page with the Sprint RUUs... so I'm not sure what's going on... Thanks for your help though.

Well, Credo uses the Sprint Network... so I just figured it's the same phone... it looks identical. And the Credo webpage redirects to HTC's main webpage, with the Sprint RUUs... so it must be the same CDMA phone.
I came here hoping to find out more information than what I could already find on Google. I didn't know what to expect because I've read through many, many threads, and I was beginning to think that the phone is bricked. I appreciate that you have the courage and honesty to tell me that. Thanks.

your not completely bricked if you can boot into fastboot but if none of what duce posted helps I dont know what will. I do wish you luck and please keep us updated. I would like to know the outcome.

Fixing some misconceptions about S-off

Alright, because there is constant stupidity regarding the bootloader security state for HTC devices. I feel that I can clarify and help remove some myths and misconceptions.
Let's start with the most important one:
What is S-off?
S-off is us turning off the security flag stored in the NV RAM of our device. This allows us to flash unsigned files (zips and images) to our device. The difference is stated below of why you need a zip vs an image.
S-off is not root either. Root is just a binary stored in /system and just doesnt get removed if the device has s-off. S-off just means integrity of file system / partitions aren't checked on the device. So this means the two are exclusive of each other from a user standpoint.
HTC IS JUST GOING TO TURN S-ON AND RUIN IT FOR EVERYBODY!
No, they aren't. For a few good reasons, one of which is their own engineers have s-off to begin with.
The @secuflag (S-on/S-off) is there to verify hboots and other various image files on the device to begin with. When we have s-off on a newer device but idiot user decides to turn s-on for whatever reason and we have a modified hboot? The device will brick because you broke its chain of trust. It thought you were friends but you slept with it's girlfriend or whatever. Now if HTC were to suddenly turn s-on, this would break chains of trust for those who used something like Moonshine with a patched hboot. It was their OTA that caused it. They are then held liable for it and they have to fix it under warranty. You know how much that costs them? Imagine giving 1000's of people new phones because you singlehandedly broke them all. Good job dude.
Not only that, they cant turn S-on by just updating images on the device. It's stored in the NV-RAM. They would need an entirely different method than just flashing through recovery.
Next point is:
S-off means you can flash whatever you want using fastboot flash.
Now because s-off processes before gave us patched hboots, we didnt know any better. This is all wrong. fastboot flash barely works on newer phones unless dev unlocked. Now that not all s-off's give a patched hboot it's good to know the following. The only way to install something with a locked bootloader but s-off, is to use flash zip. This means that you dont just "fastboot flash recovery" or boot.img. You need to create a zip with android-info.txt and whatever files your flashing. With the lock placed on devices, unless you htc dev unlock or flash a modified hboot, it wont allow you to flash because the dev unlock is a different part than what flashes the zips.
More info about patched / eng hboots:
Now that we've seen what we lose without a patched hboot, what does it add exactly? Well, a patched or engineering hboot allows you to fastboot flash pretty much every partition on the device with an unsigned image directly (such as fastboot flash hboot hboot.img or fastboot flash splash1 splash1.img) without giving you a not allowed or command error. The reason these are useful is because it saves time. I really dont want to always have to build a zip so I always use patched hboots. They also give you access to more commands as well which I can't remember off the top of my head. These are all commands mainly used by HTC engineers and software testers.
Final point that I can think of (may add more):
That green progress bar needs to be full when fastboot flashing a zip. While it's a pretty green bar and looks very useful...for whatever reason, htc has decided to make it wrongly report progress when in use. This can lead to users freaking out and just leaving their phone in RUU mode for however until someone tells them they're idiots for it. this progress bar means literally nothing and my favorite quote about it is: "Progress bar is like tits on a snake. Interesting but pointless." Ignore the progress bar. If the command line says the zip finished, just fastboot reboot or reboot-bootloader. It will help you finish whatever the heck you're trying to do.

Nice write-up I added it to the FAQ's thread Q9 Thanks

Very nice thread, thanks

+1 on that green progress bar, when I removed the red writing on the splash screen I saw the progress bar not don't but in command prompt it said finished so I said whatever and just rebooted

Question, let's say I have s-off and flash the superuser app and all the required busybox files... Can I use root required apps like titanium backup and wireless tether?
I only ask because I've been hesitatent to root. I just don't want to Dev unlock via HTC and officially void my warranty. The sealed in battery has me extremely paranoid as its generally the first thing I've had to replace with previous HTC devices.
This leads me to the following question, if the response to the first was no... Is there a way to use root apps without using the HTC Dev tool
Please note: I'm not a developer and this was not clear to me in the write up.

You don't need s-off to root.
You do need to root to use apps that require root access.

You've stated the obvious...but thanks for the response!
I just want to know if we can get root without going through HTC, or if it will be possible in the near future thanks to the s-off development. It's my understanding that you do not need root to get s-off.

I found this link, may answer your question.
http://www.pocketables.com/2012/08/...nlocked-bootloader-in-the-htc-evo-series.html

As described in this thread an Android-info.txt file can be used to fastboot flash update.zip where the contents of the zip are TWRP and the .txt file.
I am S-OFF Locked on 1.31 stock
I want to flash TWRP via the method described above. (Or alternatively the superuser apk)
I have a img file of TWRP.
I need an Android-info.txt file that will work. Where is an example of this file so I can attempt this? Does anyone have a link?

I don't know about "tits on a snake," but many progress bars I've seen are both uninteresting and pointless. They do generally serve their purpose of keeping impatient/inexperienced users from hammering away at things they don't understand and inadvertently breaking them.

Here is the version straight from the 1.31..651.2 OTA firmware.zip. Although you may not need the "btype" or "aareport" lines. I have flashed TWRP in the past without those lines included.

Another misconception about S-OFF is that you need a "valid android-info.txt" when flashing from fastboot. When you're S-OFF, the bootloader completely disregards that file. All you need is to make a zip with whatever you want flashed, and then add any android-info.txt file in there. The default one that I include in the plugin template for my Bootloader Customizer is actually completely empty and it works fine as well. As long as there is a file (irregardless of file size) in the zip named android-info.txt, you'll be able to flash it fine, just as long as you ARE S-OFF.

Just to follow up, I discovered that at least with the Sprint HTC One, you need the following three lines at a minimum when flashing from rebootRUU or you will get an error stating:
FAILED (remote: 24 parsing android-info fail)
Code:
modelid: PN0720000
cidnum: SPCS_001
mainver: 1.29.651.10
So it looks like S-OFF validation of android_info.txt has stiffened up since the EVO 4G LTE days.

Ah, you don't have a bootloader that allows fastboot flashing? That must be why. If you were flashing straight from the hboot, you don't need it. Didn't realize you guys had to use RUU mode.

I would LOVE to be able to flash from hboot, it was so convenient and didn't require a computer. But alas, no SD Card on the Sprint variant, so no hboot flashing.
It has been said that we can use USB-OTG to perform the hboot flashing, but I have yet to get a known compatible and working USB drive to be recognized or even looked at when starting up the bootloader, although the drive works fine when rebooted to system or even recovery. It just doesn't search for external mounts like the old EVO 4G LTE hboot did on startup.

You know, it might depend on the type of drive, and it might depend on the file system your drive is formatted to. I have 0 experience using USB-OTG, so I'm probably not the best one to ask unfortunately But if you do get it working, be sure to make a guide or something! Try playing around with different formatting of your drive possibly

Ah, never thought of trying different formatting, there are different allocation unit sizes I could use... thanks! I will definitely make a guide if I get this resolved because it is driving me crazy, so I'm sure there are others too.

1- firmware.zip won't open with Windows Explorer because it's a signed firmware package, this is expected
2- "/system/framework/core.odex" has unexpected contents -> it's either not there or not stock, the OTA will not go through, if all the conditions are not met 100%

2. never used any mods or exposed framework but its rooted. Last time I restored to factory state using Guru_Reset_M7_2.24.401.1.zip and updated than i s-off using rumrunner_HTC_0.5.0 and locked the bootloader and today i again unlocked the bootloader using adb shell method from the computer(i have done this before too).
3. I dont understand what you mean by this question? i u mean why are you staying on stoke firmware than my answer is i m already using different roms and mods in my galaxy s and galaxy s3, so i thought at-least one phone should be in stock..

If you're s off, try running an RUU for your cid and mid and then take ota , because somewhere along the way, I think you accidentally modified your system settings

Two of the guru roms that I tried on my phone were faulty and didn't let me take ota, the solution that worked for me was running a downgrade ruu , it could be that the guru Rom isn't accurate, read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2682363

Then install the guru Rom again, take Ota to 3.xx, then take the next ota to 4.xx. maybe you just modified the system core.odex thing, installing the guru Rom again and retaking ota should work

[Q] need some help by updating my m7

hey I want to update my htc one to 4.4 and get rid of twrp.
I´ve unlocked it via htcdev and installed twrp.
i have got s-on
hboot 1.54.0000
CID vodap120 (as far as i know this is still the orginal one)
can I just relock the phone or do i need stock recovery? (hop I´m useing the coreced terms here :/ )
if so can I follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545227.
I remeber that I had to download some drivers when I unlocked the phone and I dont think that they are still on my computer. could someone send me a link to them?
thanks
joachim (austria)

You don't want to lock the bootloader unless you plan to reflash an RUU. with it unlocked you will just need to reflash to the stock recovery and then do your update. Are you trying to run an ota to 4.4?
Here is a link to drivers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2232799

This tool might be easier to use and quicker for getting the required ADB & Fastboot tools. Here is what is required to receive an OTA update. And yes, you will need your stock recovery installed. However, since you are on a lower hboot, it might be more beneficial to S-OFF first before the 4.4 update. S-OFF gives you more options going forward.

I couldn't agree more. the ability to change CID and flash any available RUU while bootloader unlocked is a huge advantage if you like to be adventurous with your devices' software.

first of all thanks for the quick reply
so more detail:
right know I´m getting the information that there has been an update issue.
I´m running on 4.2.2 (the software number is 2.24.161.1(I dont know how important that is or what it actually is)
after clicking on software-updates he told me that I can download 3.63.161.6
yes I want to make an ota update
need to reflash to the stock recovery
Click to expand...

how do I do that. I need a file for that am i right? Which is the right one for me?
after reflashing stock recovery do i need to do something else.
oh yes i forgot to mention that i have super su. is that a problem?
ps I dont need advantages because I decided that I wont do any changes improvements to my system

First, read this post about OTA Updates.
Next, you need to download two OTA files from this site. The 2.24.161.1 OTA and the 3.63.161.6 OTA will be used to update your phone.
After downloading the first (2.24 OTA) open up the zip and find the firmware.zip file. Open the firmware.zip and extract the recovery.img file from it. This file is your stock recovery. You flash it like you did your custom recovery by placing it in your ADB/Fastboot folder. Here are the steps:
In bootloader/FASTBOOT USB:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Relock your bootloader with this command in FASTBOOT USB: fastboot oem lock
You can follow the steps in this post on Manually Installing OTAs.
Please read everything at least twice. If you don't understand something then don't hesitate to ask!

much simpler way, as unlocking the bootloader deletes some files required to update, just leave twrp on your phone for the time being, and download this rom ive linked below, if your phone is currently booting up, then just plug it into the computer and move the zip file to your internal storage, then reboot into recovery and install it like you would do with any other rom, during the aroma installer, select wipe data, install stock recovery and install stock radio, upon reboot, you couldn't be anymore stock.

thank you Seanie280672 but this sounds more complicated to me

i cant download that 2.24.161.1 OTA
error server cannot send any data

now i can.
so lets get started

fuuu
my antivirus tells me that one file in there is a virus.
is this serious?
what shell i do?

[Q] Need help with going back to stock

Hello, as title says, I need help with going back to stock. I bought this phone super cheap (120€) from some german guy. It works like a charm, but my native language is nowhere so I decided to root and use morelocale2. But when I root I can't update. I already relocked bootloader.
Now I need to pick up right (RUU?), but I just can't understand it.
Radio-4T.27.3218.14
HBOOT-1.57.0000
OS-5.11.401.10
I wondered if I can use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2753631 , but it's called firmware so i don't know if it's ota or ruu, or i need to use that stock firmware downwards or am I completely wrong?
Thanks for all responses, cheers

There is no RUU available for your phone version If your phone is S Off then you can flash 4.19.401.9 RUU
If not then you have to restore nandroid backup or flash stock Rom reset according to your software version

unlock bootloader
flash twrp recovery 2.6.3.3
download and save the zip from method 1 in your adb/fastboot folder
with your phone in recovery, push the zip to your /sdcard either by using adb push or adb sideload
install the zip on your phone using twrp recovery
choose yes to wipe/stock recovery/stock radio
reboot phone
download and install ota
enjoy your phone
and btw there is not much difference between 4.4.2 and 4.4.3, only some security fixes and a crappy file manager.

Just what do you want to do? I see you relocked your bootloader. Do you still have a custom recovery installed? Post a fastboot getvar all (except imei and serialno).

You should be able to download the OTA from the phone. However, you may have some missing files that the OTA will be looking to update. In the post where you got the ROM towards the bottom is a preload file zip. If you need them this is where you can get them to complete the update.

I don't think I'm missing some files. I didn't install the aroma zip with TWRP, I installed them with CWM. Successful. But when I tried to install software update, my phone reset, I didn't watch the installation, but when phone booted, it had setup screen on it. I'm currently downloading a 4.4.3 OTA so we'll see.
EDIT: Downloaded OTA, put in sdcard, trying to boot into recovery, phone automatically boot to ota install, instead of green, it's red and after a while back to android. Im hopeless guys, I think i'll live with 4.2.2 and let someone more experienced and more skilled let this do.

you can not apply ota manually from stock recovery with s-on. go in settings --> about --> software update
First time you did, your phone performed a factory reset right? This happen sometimes when re-installing stock recovery. just apply the ota again from settings --> about --> software updates.
then if you get a red triangle with an exclamation mark inside, hold vol+ and press power then release both and you should see some text in yellow. post the text if it fail.
