[Q] Unroot Error - 140 BOOTLOADER VERSION - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm getting Error[140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR when trying to RUU and unroot my AOSP Gingerbread Hero.
Current Image version: 2.31.651.7
RUU Image version: 2.27.651.6
Can I follow the instructions on this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=843544 to unroot my phone, or is there a different way to do this?
Any help is appreciated.

Make sure you have htc sync installed on pc. You need the drivers to run RUU. You can get them on htc site.

I dont it will be possible to install even if the Rom is rooted, since the device is S-ON
If you make a goldcard can you downgrade to a lower version? I had flashed my phone to 2.12.707.5 which is an Asia gingerbread ROM. I couldn't S-Off with alpharevx. So I made a goldcard and flashed my phone to 2.12.405.7 which is a Europe Gingerbread rom From there I was able to S-Off. Point being I went from a higher version to a lower version.

Debranding Bell Incredible S to WWE?

Hey I just want to make sure of a few things before I try this... I saw the thread below but it doesn't saying anything about being able to downgrade later on. I have a Bell incS with the stock 2.3.3 version 2.28.666.3. My phone is not rooted or S-Off but I have made a gold card and was going to flash the WWE RUU 2.30.405.1 to get rid of the bloat. Is it as simple as that? Would it be possible to downgrade back to the original Bell 2.28.666.3 RUU later if I needed warranty with the gold card or not? Also any issues to worry about with debranding like radio/wifi problems or anything else? Thanks

If you don't have S-OFF on your BM IncS, then you won't be able to flash the WWE 2.30.405.1 RUU because that ROM is for the S710E model (model id PG321300) and the BM Incs is a S710A model (model id PG321200) and it will fail with 'wrong model id' error.
If you go ahead and S-OFF, then you can take the WWE 2.30.405.1 RUU and extract the ROM.zip and modify the android-info.txt file in the ROM.zip to change the model id. After that process, you would copy the modified ROM.zip file to the root of your SD card and rename it PG32IMG.zip. Then boot into HBOOT and it will find the PG32IMG.zip file and ask if you want to apply the update. You will then have an unbranded, unrooted IncS. The second advantage of S-OFF is that it will allow you to reflash the BM 2.28.666.3 RUU.
I'm looking at doing the same thing. Wondering if patrick92260 has had any success. I have the Virgin IS and want to debrand it as its loaded with useless BELL apps. Will be attempting this myself, let you know how it goes.
Q: First question is, now that I have the .exe of RUU. How do I go about getting the ROM.zip file.
Figured it out on my own, but for others who are curious.
A:Windows > Run > %TEMP%
Then list by 'last modified folder' and it should be the first one there.
I decided not to debrand the phone because of the different model ID for the Canadian IncS. If you debrand the phone to a WWE RUU it most likely won't ever be able to get an OTA update because when it's tries to update the phone's model ID will still be different. If there is no RUU for that new update then you'll probably be stuck with what you have.
Maybe if the IncS ever gets an actual radio S-Off I will try it.
If you still tried to debrand it though, how did it go?

Just a point of clarification. When I debranded my Bell IncS, I put the original WWE GB 2.12.405.7 ROM on it. I then received the OTA notification that 2.30.405.1 was available, so even though you won't get a Bell OTA, you do get the WWE unbranded OTAs.

Hmm maybe I'll go ahead and give it a try then. You didn't have any issues upgrading to the WWE OTA or have problems once it was debranded? I ask just because I know if you debranded the original Desire it would kill the WiFi and I think it caused reception issues.

I have not had any issues of debranding my Bell IncS with the WWE roms.
The OTA downloaded fine, but like all OTAs, it checks to make sure you have a stock version of the previous ROM, in this case 2.12.405.7. If you have ClockworkMod installed, the OTA will fail because that isn't the stock recovery. I could have flashed the stock recovery and ran the OTA, but I choose to take the 2.30.405.1 RUU and make a rooted version of it using dsi's XDA Android kitchen and ended up flashing that.
Debranding went smoothly. Flashed the WWE just fine after editing the file.
Then went ahead and installed 4EXTRecovery and Virtuous Unity over that though.
Whether doing the debranding helped or not, I'm not sure. Either way I'm down to just essential apps in this rom, no bloatware.
As for OTA updates, who cares really. If you're on this forum, you've got enough knowledge to flash yourself and not have to wait for OTA updates to arrive.
Original Bell Incredible S rom
Any one have the OEM "stock" rom/radio/kernel from Bell in case of warranty?
I did not think about this when I flashed mine and it would be great in case the hardware fail..
everything is working perfectly fine right now so it's just a "in case" question.

I found this v4.0 for Incrediable S for NAM (Canada) listed on HTCDEV site. Nothing else v2.3 or anything for Bell is listed there.

No, if you have BlackRose S-OFF, you will not be able to flash the 4.14.405.2 RUU. There is a link in my signature that is a stock, rooted ROM based on this RUU that you can safely install. I would recommend that along with poondog's kernel that is also linked in my signature.

Thanks tpbklake,
I didn't perform Step11, to install Blackrose.
I followed, Step 1, Skipped 2. Couldn't follow Step3, since I had bootrom HBOOT 1.13.0000, I could never get the OEM identifier token. Then I directly performed Step 9 to get revolutionary soff. Then I followed Step 4,5 to install clockwork recovery and root my phone. Then I performed Step 6. That's it. No other steps or flashing of custom rom.
Can I go ahead with the 4.0 RUU from HTCDev?

No. Run the blackrose tool. (Make sure you have CM7 or another rooted ROM for this). Fully run it so that now, in the bootloader, instead of Revolutionary, You should see Blackrose. Then run the tool again but this time select Uninstall Blackrose and at the end of that, you should have HBOOT 1.13.0000. Relock bootloader and then run the RUU.
Or you can just use tbpklake's stock rooted ROM. That was built off the lateset WWE RUU I believe.

Ok a little more information please. Is this a new IncS that shipped with HBOOT 1.16? If not, did you receive an OTA update that installed HBOOT 1.16? In either case unless you went through the procedure at HTCDEV site to UnLock the bootloader and flash a custom recovery and a new ROM, ou probably still have a stock ROM on it.
So if you could explain in more detail the current state of your system it would help.

With an unlocked bootloader, you simply need to flash a custom Recovery to your device and then you will be able to flash any custom ROM you want. The only drawback is to remember to manually flash the ROM's boot.img file in FASTBOOT USB mode since you have an unlocked bootloader.
There is a sticky thread that details how to install a custom recovery and flash custom ROMs. It's title indicates HBOOT 1.16 and 2.00, but it will also work with unlocked 2.02.0002. that you have also.
If you really insist of getting S-OFF back, then you will need to visit the Downgrade Script sticky post and use that procedure to downgrade your ROM and HBOOT.
I do Have ClockworkMod Recovery Installed.

You are not going to be able to flash an official RUU because you currently have the most recent one installed and you cannot downgrade without using the Downgrade script.
Beside, you said you want a ROM with Sense 4 so your only choice is going to be a custom ROM. So just unlock your bootloader and go to the Development section and try out the different Sense 4 ROMs and quit trying to get a RUU going.

Thank you tpbklake,
I did try to use the Custom Rom by Nik (Nik's Project X)
After installing the ROM, the boot process does not pass beyond the Initial HTC Screen. It gets stuck there. also triedleaving it at the same screen for over an hour.
Any thoughts on that?

Tried Installing IceCold Sandwich 8.3 and Cooldroid 6.1 (previously Nik's Project X)
All of them give the same result.
after installing the rom, restart, Initial HTC Screen, and stuck there.
your thoughts please.

Once again, when you have the unlocked bootloader and you are flashing a custom ROM via Recovery, you then need to extract the boot.img file that is in the ROM's zip file and flash it manually in FASTBOOT USB mode! That is how you get around the issue with hanging at the HTC Screen and that is the step you have missed. I even gave you a link yesterday to the thread that tells you how to flash a custom ROM on the unlocked hboot.
So please read the posts to your questions very carefully and completely.

Can I get s-off? All I can access is my bootloader.

I downloaded, extracted, and ran the correct soju but I get an error. It says to run rumrunner again and READ... I don't know what I did wrong. I did this with my phone in fastboot usb mode, is that right?

I'm pretty sure that's all you need. But I could be wrong.

When I run the rumrunner program, I type 'Yes' twice then I get an error telling me to run rumrunner again and READ. What did I do wrong?
Recently I was working on returning my phone back to stock and I ended up using OMJ's encrypted 1.29.651.7 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250904). However, in order to flash an older ruu successfully I also had to trick the phone into believing that an older version was installed. I did it using dd through adb, but I can't find the thread with the info so I'll try to find that.
ok, so here's what I did:
first, I downloaded the encrypted 1.29.651.7 ruu
then, I used this trick to change the version recorded in the phone (I think I had to be root, but I don't remember) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2390821
I substituted 1.29.651.7 for the 1.29.651.10 shown in the link
then I relocked the bootloader and flashed the ruu according to the return to stock instructions.
Hopefully this helps you work it out, I'm not sure how much this will help you but it worked for me.

This didn't do it either. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME
I don't know if you can flash OMJ's firmware if your bootloader is set to "Relocked". I could be wrong but I think what you need to do is unlock it again first and install a recovery. Then flash OMJ's stock firmware from recovery. From there you can probably do the S-OFF process and RUU back to stock.
You do need to be able to boot into your ROM for S-OFF to work, as you start the S-OFF process while the phone is booted up and running.
