Is there any hope i have it off and battery charging lol

did you RUU.exe yet or RUU.zip? Go to my links thread, read jasonmaloneys RUU method, and use darkknights zip, also try RUU.exe. If you didn't flash a GSM radio you *should* be fine. The RUU's contain radios, so you should ba able to get back to stock and reroot, etc.

RUU is supposed to take away root. When you boot into the bootloader and plug in the usb does it say "fastboot usb" in the upper right? If so, you should try the exe again, if it fails, try jasonmaloneys method with tehdarkknights RUU.zip
EDIT: saw you edit, IIRC volume up/power is what you want = fastboot.
EDIT EDIT: if you REALLY cannot at all get into the bootloader AT ALL, and you still have warranty, bring it to sprint = new phone?

RUU can flash in almost any situation which is weird i remember restoring a few moguls when i was at sprint that were just at the bootloader screen more than a few times.
how long ago did you get your phone? if its less than a year you likely wont have to pay for the repair

[Q] Inc s gets stuck on "htc" bootup screen

Hi guys
I searched everything before trying this and thought i was doing the right thing but no . I was on a rooted froyo with cwm installed. I downloaded the RUU "RUU_VIVO_SENSE30_S_hTC_Asia_HK_3.09.708.2_Radio_20.4802.30.0822U_3822.10.08.28_M_release_227715_signed"
and did the update. It said successful and after the phone rebooted, it is still stuck on the same screen. I cannot do anything except remove the battery to switch it off. Please help
PS: I am from India btw and I used the AsiaHK RUU . Would that be the problem?
The bootloader screen shows:

The problem is you are S-OFF with Revolutionary and the 3.09 RUU you flashed the Android 2.3.5/Sense 3.0 ROM which needs to have HBOOT 2.00 installed in order to boot and run.
The Revolutionary S-OFF HBOOT is preventing the RUU from installing HBOOT 2.00, thus the reason you are now in this state.
Checkout the FAQ sticky post in this forum on how you should proceed.
I used an exe installer friend. And I am really new here so I am relatively new to the terms u guys use. So whats a sticky in the faq?? Do I still have hope or should I give it to htc. The htc service in India is really bad and if they find out I am s off they wont touch my piece unless I pay them. So I am stuck either way...
Pl help
OK I finally found the sticky!! I got a similar thread there but it says something bout unlocking the hboot. Can u please explain what that means. How do I know if the hboot has been unlocked?

PS: I dont understand how I can load anything on my phone since it only charges when connected to a pc. I do not want to do anything wrong now so pl help

At this point you don't need to worry about unlocking the bootloader because you have the Revolutionary S-OFF bootloader.

OK, let's try to get your phone operational again.
Download this HTC official RUU/ROM:
http://www.filefactory.com/file/c0a...5AU_3805.04.03.27_M_release_189979_signed.exe
You should be able to install this ROM and still have Revolutionary S-OFF bootloader in place. Hopefully this will fix your phone and have it boot normally.

Is the fix for white screen by getting the right version of PG32IMG.ZIP? if so could you please post the link. I have tried updating the radio a couple of times.
Hi again tpbklake. I tried installing the rom u mentioed but it says usb error and rightly so because my phone cannot turn on and hence cannot read the rom. I tried installing the rom when the phone is on the htc screen and also when it is just plugged in without turning it on. Same error. My phone only gets charged when connected to the pc but when I turn it on the charging light goes off. Just putting as much info as possible. Dunno wot to do

Ok then you need to extract the ROM.zip file from that RUUand then copy it to our SDcard and rename it PG32IMG.zip and then reboot into hboot and see if it will flash that way.
How do I extract the zip file from an exe? Is there a zip file of the same RUU?

Then I got stuck on the htc startup screen with the green htc letters and white background. Ran the RUU from ATT HTC again and got stuck at 34% while updating system. I pulled out the usb cord and pulled out the battery and replaced it. Now there's an error with htc black background and 4 triangles. whenever I pull out the usb cord, the phone goes into a hardboot menu with only RUU option. I can't unlock my phone. it is currently relocked.
Please help :'(

Just run the RUU again without removing the USB cord this time.

If you pull the battery, replace the battery, hold Vol- and PWR, does it take you to Bootloader, or to that "RUU" screen? If it takes you to bootloader, select Fastboot, plug in your phone, and run the RUU again. Looks like you have ICS Hboot, so make sure you're using an ICS RUU, and the correct one. You may want to redownload the RUU in case you got a bad download. If it doesn't boot to bootloader, try running the redownloaded RUU from that "RUU" Hboot screen
Thanks for the replies. When I try going into hardboot it has the black htc screen with the four triangles. When I try running the ruu it updates until 34% and gets stuck there

All good suggestions...also make sure you're using the cable that came with the phone. A ton of strange going-ons are being reported with 3rd party cables..
I'm still stuck at the 34% mark even though i re-downloaded the RUU. Should I download another RUU version?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1564776
Did you download the ruu from here? If not try it and see if it works. Maybe the one before was a bad download.
yea that's the one I used :/. I ran the RUU at least 8 times and it would always get stuck at 34% or the updating system stage. could the issue lie with the system?

Have you tried a different computer? Grasping at straws here.

Screwed Up :(

Hey guys,
I screwed up my Incredible S, I'm stuck in the HTC screen and if I volume down+power, it goes to that hboot screen and if I select recovery, I go to revolutionary (so I can't warranty)...
I tried using A LOT of "stock" roms, tried RUU etc but nothing seems to be working...
Also, it used to be on the optus 2.3.5

What are you trying to accomplish? Are you trying to restore back to stock for warranty?
If so, you need to follow this procdure so that you can overwrite the Revolutionary HBOOT with an RUU.

Well, the phone doesn't work at all at the moment so getting it back to work would be good. If it's getting it back to stock then sure, I'll do that

My phone was running optus before I stuffed it.
Also, what do I do to install, if I run RUU and follow the steps, it will just and and say it can't do it. Do I copy the rom.zip file and rename it to PG32IMG.zip then put it on a USB and go to bootloader?

OK, start the process beginning at Step 2. Don't worry about step 1 for now.
So first you need to prepare the Revolutionary HBOOT to be overwritten by following step 2.
Then you should be able to run the RUU or as you stated, extract the ROM.zip, rename it PG32IMG.zip on your SD card and boot into bootloader.

Here is a link to the optus 2.3.5 ruu http://d-h.st/cGj
You're not s-off if you're getting signature error. Were you ever s-off or just unlocked bootloader? If unlocked bootloader only, you will have to lock it before running the ruu.
How exactly do you "downgrade HBOOT"?
I managed to install virtuous quattro yesterday but then...my WiFi, parts of the touchscreen and the bottom 4 touch buttons don't work.

Boy you are all over the board on this thread. First you asked how to get back to stock s-on for warranty and now you are asking about downgrading the hboot to go back to s-off.
You have been given links for removing Revolutionary S-Off and flashing the Optus RUU. I suggest you follow those to get your phone straightened out first before going any further.

bricked my htc one trying to flash an ruu and computer gliched. can get into fast boot and it displays *tampered* *relocked* and *security warning*.
tried to re-up the ruu and says 12 signatures failed or something. any help would be much apriciated. and i cannot connect with adb because i was trying to get rid of cm10 and for some reason i cannot connect to adb with cm10. now when i reboot phone just goes right into bootloader/fastboot. tried to flash a recovery did not work. PLEASE HELP!

do you have s-off? you can only flash a RUU with s-off...
How exactly did the computer glitch? Calm down, if you can get into the bootloader which I assume you can (as you can see the tampered etc tags) then it's still salvageable. As the person above asked, do you have s-off?

nope still got it to work though. was very shocked. bootloader worked, was locked, and s-on. could not do ruu so i found a stock rom i ran it once got a security issue then manually typed it in something like fastboot flash image XXX.zip and got another thing 12 security signature or something other, ran it again imediatelly <did not close command prompt and left phone with the htc emblem on there> with the same command and surprisingly it worked!
Unlock then reflash a recovery

Yep, that should do it since you unlock and flash from the bootloader.

it's weird tho, because it was "relocked" and S-ON so I dont even know how it worked.

[Q] Tried Returning to Stock, now stuck in bootloader

So about 6 months ago a friend wanted to root his sprint m8, i had a tmobile one at the time and rooted it and s-off'd it successfully so i did his phone for him, however firewater didn't work for s-off and he didn't want to pay the 25 for sunshine. fast forward to yesterday and he wanted to go back to stock to turn in his phone for an upgrade, so i tried to restore his stock nandroid, but he deleted it. so then i attempted to relock the bootloader and flash the ruu. The ruu failed, and now im stuck in fastboot, twrp is gone, so i can't get a backup restored. I'm hoping their is some other way i can can return his phone to stock. I feel stuck and out of my depth, so i'm hoping someone can help, thanks.

You say the RUU failed...
Any error message?
As much info as you can give would be better.
Yeah it boots into the black screen with silver htc logo and it starts to run and then the error pops up and says "Error 1555 unknown error the rom update utility cannot update your android phone. please get the correct rom update utility and try again."

Sounds like you are trying to use an older RUU.
The latest can be found here.

No, that's where I initially got the first RUU, when it failed i tried to use an older one and the same thing happened. I used this one. http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_..._NV_SPCS_1.52_003_release_426232_signed_2.exe Which was the very top one for sprint, non hk. and I locked the bootloader again so it would work.

If the phone is s-on you cannot flash an older RUU.
Make sure you drivers are installed correctly.
Make sure you are using a USB2 port.
Post the info from bootloader please...really just the hboot version.
Post a copy of getvar all also please.

ok so hboot version says 3.19.0.0000, i am on a usb 2.0 port, i am not sure how to paste my copied text from the cmd prompt into this box so i just pasted it to a .txt file and attached that and it has all the getvar all info. thanks for the help.
Everything is current according to the getvar...go ahead and remove it as it contains the imei #
The latest RUU should work.
Maybe try downloading Sync Manager to update the drivers or try a different PC/usb port.
Low and behold i was in a 3.0 port lmao... smh... so you just saved me beating my head against the wall for god knows how much longer, thanks for the help, the ruu is working fine now:fingers-crossed:
