[Q] Yellow Triangle, Security Warning, Customer ID error

Hi all,
My Incredible S now refuses to boot and I can't flash it. Here's the story:
It was a factory unlocked device with S-ON. AlphaRevX successfully managed to get rid of that, and GingerBreak rooted the device in the first attempt. It was working fine until, for a stupid reason, I decided to go back to factory ROM. So I downloaded one from another thread here and ended up with famous yellow triangle. Removed the battery and the problem started.
It keeps showing HTC logo then restarts.
I've tried many ROMS but all of them ended up with Customer ID error. I see "Security Warning" message on the Bootloader screen and S-ON is back.
Here's all the information I can gather from bootloader screen:
VIVO PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT 1.09.0000
RADIO 3805.04.03.27_M
I'd appreciate any kind of help.
Regards,
Hossein

I am in the exact same boat and I made a thread about it here:

Read through the posts to find out what you can do to fix (its not much).
Let me know if you can actually fix it...

Whenever you get an invalid CID or customer ID when trying to flash a ROM, it means that you need to create a goldcard to flash the ROM because your phone may be S-OFF, but it is not carrier unlocked.
You situation is not unique however. You are the 3rd thread that has posted the 'Security Warning' and getting set back to S-ON. You may want to check out the other threads to see if they were ever able to get it resolved.

Hi,
Thanks for the link. I actually cannot try XTC Clip as I don't have it. Gold Card is not an option as I simply don't know what is the CID of my device.
I tried to flash mine with stock RUU, but this time got "Bootloader version" error which means I can't downgrade. It is an Arabic ROM (the latest OTA update for my device named "OTA_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_HTC_ARA_2.30.415.1-2.12.415.5") so I guess I need a stock Gingerbread Arabic ROM for HTC Incredible S, which is not available AFAIK.

Hi,
It is S-ON and carrier unlocked but either way I believe I need to know my CID to create a gold card (please correct me if I'm wrong). As the device is not booting up, I can't read the CID, unless there's a way to read it in bootloader mode.

I have the same problem,I flash the eng-hboot and then i used goldcard to flash the ruu,the bootloader was s-on and when i power on,it only enter fastboot mode,some one know how to do ? jtag now can't fix it

Bricked again?

So got the Incredible S in the beginning of July and was very happy with it, beat the hell out of my old HD2 who got bricked Desided not to root this one cause it was already android and i didnt want to break the warranty. But then the 2.3.3 update came and i didnt recieve text and calls was dismissed. (it is an own thread about this issue on the forums) so i desided to try a rom from XDA to see if this could help solve the issue. It did not but i rooted the phone (S-off right?) and used it with GSM only.. today i talked with HTC support and got a hold of the RUU_Vivo_HTC_WWE_1.36.405.1_Radio_Radio_20.23.30.0 802U_38.02.01.11_M_release_172670_signed.. the cusomter support guy uploaded it and i installed it with the USB cable.. the installer said everything went fine.. the phone reebots.. boots to the HTC logo screen and turns off again.. and keeps on going in the same cycle..
I can get into bootloader, but when i press "power" to choose recovery it goes straight to the white htc screen again and reebots.. what to do now? Is this one dead also?

Tried rename RUU to PG32IMG and put it on the memory card.. still no luck it says "Bootloader - Bypasses"
"TP - Bypassed"
"TP - Bypassed"
Why? And still no luck tried with two signed RUU's now.. The bootloader says
Vivo PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT 6.13.1002
At least i want all the Revolutionary stuff gone.. Any idea? Im out of ideas right now.. Oh geez, it booted the 2.1.3 RUU.. nice.
But why would not the other room work? This is the one i have to get workin.. Any ideas?

Does the RUU got a radio in it? Please share this RUU cause I believe this is not avaible anywhere. I would give it a try then and report if I have issues.

Yes I think it can be a radio conflict too, perhaps you downgraded it.

Here you go Please give a report if it work on your device

I also want to gain S-ON on my Incredible, used AlphaRevX Beta to get the S-OFF but i need it to be S-ON again, and i cant really fint the information on how to do it. These forums are amazing but very hard to navigate true, and find the information you are looking for.

Was thinking... You said you are S-OFF and then installed the 1.36 RUU. Possibly this RUU or ROM needs an older bootloader. Cause the bootloader cannot be overwritten (I assume you used Alpharev), the installation is aborted.
The newer RUU accepts the current bootloader and therefore is being installed.
I think, when you first downgrade your Hboot to the one that can be overwritten, the RUU should work and you can enjoy Froyo again!

So did it work ?

HTC Raider Messed...

Im with rogers and my HTC Raider was working fien then today i dropped it and it turned off and wouln't get passed the white htc screen so i looked it up and basically people said to factory reset which didn't do anything still stuck at the hboot screen and i got the PH39IMG.ZIP and put it on the micro sd but it said Main Version is older update failed and i have no idea what to do If i get this fixed ill try and pay you on paypal or something

If you can get into hboot try to run the stock ics ruu file .
If your boot loader is unlocked then in order for the ruu to except install you will need to relock it.

[Q] Want To Turn AT&T HTC One Into Developer's Edition

Hello everyone!
I have an AT&T HTC One that is S-Off, relocked, SuperCID, black HBoot 1.54, currently on ViperOne 2.7 with stock kernel. I've been trying for the past day and a half to get the 3.22.1540.1 Brightstar WWE to run so I could have it back to stock with the most current OS. I also want to fully convert it to a Developer's Edition phone as well. I thought that with SuperCID you could run any RUU but so far every single time it ends in an error. I also tried changing the CID to the Developer's Edition CID (BS_US001) and still came back with the same error. So here I am on the greatest place in the world for Android phone assistance and advice asking for help in getting my phone converted to a Developer's Edition and/or on the 3.22 RUU. Thanks in advance for any help.
P.S. I already did try to search like crazy for the answers to my questions.!

Well you may need a stock recovery to run an ruu.exe. And I'd recommend going back to super-cid and then running the ruu as well. Be sure you back up all your information that you do then wish to lose, as the ruu will format the entire phone.

No need to relock boot loader because the developer edition comes by default unlocked. Unlock it to continue. You need to change your CID to 11111111 (super CID) and you need to flash the 1.44 hboot (I believe) the black hboot may be causing the problem.

Downgrade to the lowest firmware you can find for the Developers edition.
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
(Yes, twice.)
Check to be sure everything was successful.
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Make sure the bootloader is locked.
Run the ruu.
Let it do its thing.
Boot the phone and set it up.
Go to settings - about phone - software information - system update.
Allow it to download and update.
Repeatedly check for update until you reach 4.3

Hi there,
Did you get it work 3.22.1540.1 dev edition on your phone?, im still stuck in the same problem, got an HTC One AT&T, i got working the RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_BrightstarUS_WWE_1.29.1540.16.exe (dev edition), when i check for updates, there's an update of 17mb, after updating that one, i check again and found the 3.22.1540.1 OTA (around 550mb), i downloaded and agree to install it, but when reboot the phone, it got stuck in the HTC logo screen, did not go further, even trying to get into recovery, same thing, got stuck in HTC logo screen.
Another test i did, was installing RUU_M7_UL_JB43_SENSE50_MR_BrightstarUS_WWE_3.22.1540.1.exe and even the zip version, both of them install correctly but same problem, got stuck in HTC Logo screen, right now my phone is Unlocked bootloader, S-off with supercid (also tried the BS_US001 CID, same problem), hboot 1.55, is there any chance someone can help me with it? thanks a lot

[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."

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:
