[Q] Cant flash 3805.06.03.03_M radio

Hi, I cant get this radio to flash on my mates Inc S (it worked fine on mine). He has s-off (xtc clip method), latest recover, root etc, but when I flash using PG32IMG hboot method I get 'Incorrect model ID' or something like that. Also tried same thing using a goldcard. Also tried fastboot method as per post 1 ARHD1.1.0 thread. No success
Any ideas please ?

If this is a Candanian IncS, then the model id in the PG32IMG.Zip file needs to be changed.

Actually its a UK device, but only about a week or so out of the shop, unlike mine which is a few months old and an older hboot version . The engineering hboot in the link you mentioned may be the answer, thanks for the pointer.
Cheers

If you use alpharevx for S-OFF maybe this post can help you installing new radio :

thanks, the link is also to ENG hboot, I think this will be the answer, will try it and post back outcome.
Thanks all for the guidance.

find out one method in ARHD 1.1.0,dload the radio file,open and read it.

Guys be careful when flashing radios, because i flashed 6.03.03 from gu1dry's thread and then tried to run a lower version ruu and broke the software on the phone. Now i need to use xtc clip to revive.
post by ieftm
"gu1dry, could you please adjust your RUU zips to include a lower mainversion?
preferably something really low like 1.00.0000.0.
Some of these zips have:
mainver: 2.21.1400.8
Which might spell trouble for people that attempt at flashing a RUU afterwards (as they're left with a broken RUU and a high mainversion).
Thanks"
Just make sure you ask all q's before playing with stuff like this it will avoid what i am facing. Just want to help

neo-X, pitty your on the other side of the world, you could have borrowed mine. Thanks for the warning though, I think I will re flash the new radio using the link from post 1 of ARHD to be safe.

Resolved my mates problem by flashing ENG hboot, then the new radio flashed ok. I don't understand why it was necessary to do this ENG hboot thing, since I did not have this problem with my own inc s. Must be something to do with latest stock hboot I guess. One other word of warning, after installing the ENG hboot his phone would not boot past the first HTC boot screen, but was able to go into custom recovery, wipe then flash ARHD rom, then booted up all OK.

Thanks gudge...luckily i got it working, just needed to flash the new higher version ruu that was just released

A system update is available

Hi guys
I have the Sensation and the Flyer so these days I was too busy trying to S-OFF them and to gain perm root. (no luck yet) During this time my Incredible S was turned off this means I have been away from my Incredible S for a month now.
Today I turned my Incredible S on and I saw that there is a new System update :
A SYSTEM UPDATE IS AVAILABLE
SYSTEM UPGRADE 2.30.405.1 (30.17MB)
My Incredible S has been S-OFF`ed since April by XTC CLIP and I have been on the stock Rom due to some errors on the customs roms like ( no harware backlight etc.)
My question is if I apply this update will I loose my S-OFF ?
Secondly If I loose S-OFF will XTC CLIP bring my S-OFF again ?
Thanks
DC

I got that this morning.... but then it vanished when i checked again

i think if you're s-off already you won't lose it. and you have the xtc clip anyways, worse comes to worst you can use it again.
i read that if you upgrade to this versoin on stock and try alpharevx, you won't be able to s-off it

i dont "think", i am 100% sure you will not lose your s-off
why? cuz i have tested every possible way to s-on again my phone..including OTA...

You will lose your S-off only when you overwrite bootloader.
I s-off my phone using AlphaRev but wanted to test a few things in full stock so installed my stock GB RUU to S-on my phone again.
After that I S-off again.
It will not s-on unless you run an RUU and overwrite bootloader. Even if you get it s-on accidentaly there its possible to s-off from any state So you shouldn't have any problem installing this OTA. This OTA doesn't have a bootloader (I assume you already on GB ). Froyo to GB OTA had a new bootloader in it.
Let me know if you face any problem s-offing and I'll assist you.

The OP has a XTC Clipped IncS that is S-OFF. This is not dependent on a patched HBOOT like AlphaRevX is; this is Radio S-OFF and will not be affected, even by running a RUU.

Ok I did the update but ,
I am getting an error installing the update 2.30.405.1
My current software is 2.12.405.7

Maybe I might have installed another region RUU in April, but can't remember now.

In order to install the OTA, you need to replace ClockworkMod recovery with the recovery.img file from the 2.12.405.7 ROM.zip.

I tried this last night and actually got a progress bar and it got about 1/3 of the way and then I got a red triangle with a !. I know that the radio I have installed is newer than the one in the 2.12.405.7 ROM.zip, so that may be my problem. Anyway, I'm going to pass on the OTA and just go ahead and flash the 2.30 ROM.zip using ClockworkMod instead.

@tpbklake: Sorry I don't have any idea how XTC chip works as I bought Incredible S after a software s-off method had been confirmed
@doublecheese: Download the WWE_2.30.405.1 RUU from this link and try running it directly from your PC or use this guide to install it from boot-loader. Don't forget to take a Nandroid backup before upgrade
You wont need GoldCard in your case as you have WWE Incredible S and you are installing a WWE Rom on it
Hope this will help

You can't do ota updates when you have a custom recovery installed..

If I just flash the WWE 2.30.405.1 RUU instead , would I loose my S-OFF ?
Sorry man it's been quite time I don't follow the IS forums.

yesterday i did updates into new version, nothing special, only my phone performance bit faster. and battery performance is same for me. but i think updates are always worthwhile.

Since you are S-OFF'd using the XTC Clip, you will be safe to flash the 2.30 RUU and still have S-OFF after the process.

I took the 2.30.405.1 RUU and extracted the ROM.zip and then made a rooted ROM using the HTC Android Kitchen and flashed that on my clipped Inc S, so now I'm running GB 2.30.405.7 and still S-OFF. You can always go that route if you don't want to risk running the stock RUU.

I own my own XTC CLIP and a S-OFF Incredible S , I can confirm that you will NOT loose S-OFF after the OTA . How I know ? Because I did the risk and apply the OTA myself ... But S-OFF remains there solid as rock !!!!
But you will loose your root and then you have to do what EHSAN76 suggested to me....... This is how I get my IS rooted again.

You have posted a general question in the Developement forum. Anyway, it's not possible.

look at the bright side
I, too, mistakingly upgrade to 2.30.405.1. Looking forward to a way to be downgraded and S-off.
At the mean time, however, I made myself enjoin using better FM-Radio signal and much better image quality from camera in 2.30.405.1.
Note: my previous built was Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.12.405.7

it is possible to flash another RUU ROM using goldcard on a phone that comes with 2.30.405.1 ?

No. You can't go 'backwards' with a Goldcard, just flash RUUs from different regions. If that were possible to do, then everyone on 2.30.405.1 would be able to downgrade and root easily and there wouldn't be any problems with it.

You have to flash the 2.12 Rom.zip via sd (gold) but change the 2.12 version number in the android-text to 2.30...worked for me...

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but that will only work if you have S-OFF because by modifying the contents of the android-text file in the PG32IMG.zip file will invalidate the HTC signature and the HBOOT loader will fail trying to flash it an unsigned file.

Not necessarily, it depends on the ROM you're currently running. For the most part you can use a gold card to flash an RUU that's the same version or newer than what you're running currently, which is useful to get a ROM that doesn't have the exploit patched that AlphaRevX uses. Some carrier's ROMs can't be flashed at all, no matter what, gold card or not. For example the latest Verizon Wireless ROM is completely locked down and can't be flashed/rooted/S-OFF'd without using an XTC Clip. Other carriers are better about leaving the ROM's alone. All you can do is try and see what happens.

i tried it, creat gold card and extract rom.zip from 2.12 ruu and rename it to PG32IMG.zip an run bootloader. in hboot see this:
loading...PG32IMG.zip
when load complete:
checking...PG32IMG.zip
and after this step back to main hboot page and after reboot NO HAPPENS to my phone!!! my last rom is still alive you sure this way worked for you????

Even with a goldcard, if you are S-ON and you modify the PG32IMG.zip by editting the android-info.txt file to change the version, you no longer have a HTC signature on the zip file and it will not flash. With S-ON you will not be able to flash a ROM that has a version number less than 2.30.xxx.x

Then have anyone known what "ROM that has a version number greater than or equal to 2.30.xxx.x" and can be S-off by "Alpharevx".

I also tried the same, even with a gold card. I think it worked for him because he is already S-OFF.

There is nothing we can do until a temp root method is found for 2.30. Or we could use an xtc clip to gain s-off.

if i use the clipm then will it be s-offed forever? or if u update hboot, then its fall back to s-on?

The XTC clip will give you permanent S-OFF. Flashing a new HBOOT will not affect the S-OFF setting.

S-off + 2.30.405.1 = true

a friend claims that the latest release(04pre3) NOW (did not before with earlier version) can S-OFF 2.30.405.1

RUU

Hi guys, i just want to be on the safe side before doing anything like S-off, so i wonder how do i find which RUU is made for my phone model ? i have tried searching but didn't get anywhere.

No offense but you didn't look very hard. Its in a sticky in the dev thread
Once you s-off (which is ridiculously easy for this device) you can use any RUU. Good luck and enjoy

You haven't said what OS you're on or what Hboot you have, S-Off might not even be an option, nor might an RUU if you are on a 2.24 base with Hboot 1.54 ... A little more info would help to make sure you are given the best, most accurate advice.

I haven't updated my phone to this new Hboot 1.54, i am still on with the old one, i have read not to update if i want S-Off. The reason i want this is because if suddenly i had to return my phone to a service or something, i don't want to void my warranty. If i am not wrong when you S-Off, you can reverse it also.

Cool, yes, you are correct, S-Off can be reverted ... It's also worth noting that if you S-Off now, you'd be able to upgrade to Hboot 1.54 and still maintain S-Off. The problem lies with those, like me, who are on the 1.54 Hboot but haven't gone S-Off ... We're now stuck until a solution is available, although I didn't want to go S-Off so it's not really a problem.
If you go S-Off btw you can flash any RUU from any region and change your Cid/Mid, although I can't help you on the whole RUU when S-Off process as I've never run one, nor been S-Off as I previously mentioned lol.

I still can't find which RUU is for my phone, is there anyway to find ? is it via CID or any other way ?

What software build are you on at the moment? So to Settings>About phone>Software information and post the version, e.g. 2.24.401.8

The 1.29.401.16 ZIP is the RUU but in ZIP format so it's the same thing. Basically in the RUU.exe there is a ZIP called ROM.zip - this is what is the actual ROM and is flashed via the RUU in fastboot mdoe. It's fine and it's the one you want as there is nothing else available for your phone

Well, i am thinking of a scenario which i don't know is possible or not, so here it goes. Since i want to be on the safe side, how about i take a nandorid back of the stock, and than if i wanted to returen to stock, simply flash an RUU like 1.29.401.16, and than simply recover the nandroid backup over it, and update if i wanted to ? Is it possible ?
The only problem is that i don't know how to remove the custom recovery when it restore the nandorid back, and update it.

We can't. Sunshine doesn't seem to work anymore to gain s-off do we are screwed until someone that doesn't support a paywall figures out how to be able to gain s-off so we can flash the RUU.
I hate this damn phone and I wish I knew how to develop myself.

Our phones don't come s-off so why would they need to be s-off to RUU?

Beats me. I tried the external sd method. Fastboot method. Changed my CID. nothing works.

Plenty of other people have successfully RUU'd their phones while S-on. It does require an extra step but it can be done. Also, as far as S-off with Sunshine, I believe the latest version (3.0) is compatible with Lollipop.
To the OP: Hit the second link in my sig. Scroll down to the RUU section and take a read. A link to OMJ's RUU thread can be found at the bottom of the first post of my thread. Download the latest applicable RUU (4.25.651.14 for NON-HK or 4.25.654.14 for the HK version). Follow my instructions in my thread to run the RUU on your device.

External sd method = needs s-off so won't work for s-on users.
Fastboot method = most RUU's are exe files so most likely won't work via fastboot method.
Changed my CID = cannot be done unless you are s-off.

You do have to be s-off to go backwards, but just to RUU s-off is not required

Are you by chance using a computer, not to be a ****, but like what are some of the results and we can try to help you with using the RUU... Sometimes they are touchy and need to be done in an exact way...and patience is key
