Official OTA ICS update fails:

Hi All,
I need help for the following issue,
today i got notified by my incredible S that a software update is available,
I accepted and downloads starts, finished, choose install and the system checked the downloaded package, then phone rebooted to start the installation, then a blue android logo appear on the screen along with "!" inside a triangle, and phone was stuck on this for more then an hour before i took out the battery and restarted it and it is now back normal but on 2.3.5
anyone faced this matter and found a solution???
the phone is rooted, unlocked bootloader via HTCDEV website, and all the crappy HTC application uninstalled including htc sense and everything.
any help will be very appreciated,
thanks.
Problem solved:
-relock the bootloader:fastboot oem lock
-create a gold card: http://androidforums.com/desire-s-all-things-root/500543-guide-how-create-goldcard.html
-download the ICS RUU suitable for your phone: http://d-h.st/users/Inferi0r/?fld_id=2601#files
-put the gold card in the phone then run the RUU
DONE

I can flash the image via fastboot as describe in the original thread of the rom
should i perform a factory reset, wipe data and dalvik before flashing?
thanks again
Edit: after searching the ROM thread, it will not work on HBOOT 2.01.001

OK, so if you have modded the stock ROM by removing HTC applications and Sense, then that is why the OTA update failed.
To accept and install the OTA you must have all the stock components in place, HBOOT, recovery and all the apps.

Download the stock ice ruu exe from the thread listing in the dev section.
Make a goldcard and then install.
Remember this method I think will work with a compleatly stock phone meaning s-on locked bootloader, no root and no custom recovery. Do this at your own risk. I have a inc s with cid 38, It worked for me.

i have checked your suggested rom but it seems not to work with my S ON hboot version
would it help if i do the following?:
restore all the stock application from titanium backup
and then try to accept the OTA update?
or as naathaanb96 suggested to simply unroot, lock bootloader?

As the previous poster suggested, just relock the bootloader and then run the official ICS RUU using a goldcard.
Then since you have unlocked your bootloader before, you can simply use the same unlock_code.bin to unlock the ICS bootloader and then you can add a custom recovery and root the system.

Someone has to be stupid and that I am!

Before you guys jump on me, I would like to apologize for just being dumb. Even though that is the truth, may I have some help?
I didn't read the guide on turning the S-Off on my Vivid, I thought all I had to do was run the hason s-off and it would automatically do everything for me. Yeah, I didn't even know about a wire trick (I've already admitted the obvious). My Vivid just boots to the JoupunutBear screen and reboots after about 3 minutes to the same screen. I guess I've bricked my device!:crying:
Is it possible for HTC to remotely restore my Vivid, or do I have to take it to an authorized dealer that repair phones? If so, how much am I looking at? I wished I had left my phone alone, but doing some of the crazy wild and exciting stuff for phones is so cool! I wish I had read that I needed to pin mod something, or else I would not have tried to do S-Off! I just got my phone a few days ago in a trade for my HTC Shift.
I guess this will be an expensive lesson and hopefully I'll read and not think every procedure for different phones are the same.
I miss my Vivid!:crying:

I thought as long as I had reovery image on my device, I had nothing to worry about. Boy was I wrong!
Any tips on which recovery I should use? Preferably with guide, my nerves are a bit tweaked right now.
OK, I just relocked...now what?
Downloaded AT&T stock ROM, downloaded AT&T PH39img. I guess now I'm suppose to place both files on SD card and use HBOOT?

Follow the guide in my signature titled "back to stock" (I think its step 6). Then if you want to re root or whatever follow the guide in my signature steps 1-4.

Following your guide now, I'll let you know how it goes.
I have to download the RUU and not use the AT&Tzip I've already have downloaded. Seems straight forward, I'll reply back, thanks!

Since I have some time before the RUU finishes downloading, I tried to reflash factory rom using the second method. When I reboot into recovery, it does load the PG file, but it doesn't give me an option to flash anything?

Just a heads up...for me ruu never worked with a unlocked bootloader so if it doesn't work relock your bootloader with the super tool thing in he dev section...just boot into fastboot from hboot and click relock bootloader, then boot back to fastboot and run the ruu

The beginning of step 6 requires you to relock the bootloader. Otherwise, the RUU or PH zip will not work.

Man this download is taking long, I still have 15 percent to go (6 minutes)!
I guess I have to have the RUU for any of this to work, so I'll stop playing around with it before I render the device useless. So I'll be patient since I have 5 minutes to go, then I should be able to perform any of the two methods found in the guide. I'm so glad there are so many here to help me, I love you guys! Don't be too flattered, I love my Vivid more! Once this is done, I'll thank each and every one of you!

OK all, I have to leave for right now. I started the RRU utility, but it stops at checking signatures.
ERROR (155) Unknown error
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone. Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.
I have an AT&T Vivid, I thought the one for Holiday Cingular was the correct one? On the phone it says RUU update failed. So I'll look into it when I get back and try then. For some reason I can't update the HBOOT?
Bye for now!
I bet you can't update the bootloader while it is locked, LOL!
As said...I'll look into it when I get back.

It should work if you re-locked your bootloader... So that isn't the problem. Maybe somewhere during you trying to S-OFF you still managed to change the HBOOT to the unofficial one. If so, then the RUU or PH zip will both probably not work. Somehow you need to get back to the stock HBOOT. You might need to ask in the Juoponut bear thread or contact them directly.

[Q] Need some pointers/assistance with my Incredible S

I've got an Incredible S with me here with Bootloader version 2.02.0000 and official ICS installed (upgraded OTA from GB around 4 months back). I unlocked the bootloader through the HTC Dev site. Every thing went smooth. Next, i flashed a custom recovery (CWM v 5.0.2.) and then the Superuser zip file i found one of the related Incredible S threads. I proceeded to flash the device with a JB ROM (after duly wiping data and cache on the phone) and it went well along with flashing of the gapps package. When rebooting after the procedure was done, the phone remained stuck on the startup HTC white screen. I tried waiting for 10-20 minutes but there was no change. I was (and still am) able to boot into CWMR and hence also tried re-flashing to no avail. Please note that I did not take a nandroid backup (Quite stupid to do so now that i look back) and hence not able to restore. Tried searching for an RUU of the official ICS by HTC for this phone but could not find one. Tried one from HTC's site (Asia specific RUU) but it gave an error saying i had the wrong RUU file for my phone. Also, my phone is S-ON.
I would request members to please point me to the correct sources for the solution of my situation. Please tell me how should i go about from here.
TIA

[Q] HTC One M7 EE/T-Mobile/Orange UK Semi Bricked

All,
I am pulling my hair out, I decided to root my phone today so I could delete the default APN's, I have tried CWM and also TWRP.
All was fine, as soon as I installed Busybox something went horribly wrong, my phone will not boot up and just displays the "HTC Logo" I can get to the boot menu and boot to either CWM or TWRP. However there is nothing I can do within there, I cannot find a RUU for my model (CID is Orange) I have found a nandroid backup but CWM/TWRP refuses to see it via OTG and I have tried lots of USB Sticks.
I really do not know what to do next, I cannot turn S-OFF as HBOOT is 1.54
What can I do, I have read thread after thread.
Is there a default recovery.img or one for my carrier as I cannot find it.
Many thanks,
Dale

Managed to restore a nandroid, but I have no touch screen!
Tried clearing cache etc, have currently got a mouse plugged in to it to control it, there is an OTA available so going to try that.

Don't try it with a custom recovery. You'll need to relock your bootloader too.
No touchscreen is a firmware issue. The nandroid you restored will be an old one not compatible with the latest firmware..

Unroot HTC Vivid

Hey Guys,
I got an HTC Vivid a while ago. However, when I got , I looked into the software unlock method to unlock it. Doing so required for the phone to first be rooted. So I followed through some steps to root it. WORST DECISION EVER ! Since then, not only did the unlock not work, but the phone has gotten so slow and dysfunctional it is barely useful. I mean, everything else runs properly, except Calls and Text Message. i.e The phone isn't performing its right function.
Thus, I wanted to look into a way to 'unroot it' or at least just return COMPLETELY to factory settings. I want to be at least able to sell it and buy another. I've looked through and tried a couple of guides to remove the root. One seemed to work really well, until I restarted the phone, where the "Cleanup" window came back on, and the phone returned to its old rooted self.
Thanks in advance for your help !

I rooted using a method I saw here, which was supposed to be one of the steps to software unlock.
However, it is not already uncooked using the regular IMEI, which is completely different.
So, now I just want to unroot, and bring the phone back to factory, with those "Android is Upgrading...Optimizing applications" message at every boot up.

Anyone ?!

No, sorry ,I meant to say that you have to be on stock RUU to be able to achieve s-off. The guide that I followed was "The HTC Superguide " in the development section of this device. Firstly, I did a full wipe, as in Dalvic cache, Cache, System, Boot and Factory Data Reset, also SD card, then I relocked the device with "fastboot oem lock", after that I tried to run the stock RUU ( The one the phone was originally on ), which started the initial flash but stopped at about 10% and came up with " ERROR 140 ". I tried 4 or 5 times and even tried another computer with the same result.

You could try flashing an old gingerbread ROM and then try the RUU, as it seems to have something to do with the rom on the phone being newer than the RUU or something.

I have tried flashing an old gingerbread rom ( 2.27.841.6 ) as well as the latest version I could find ( 3.25.841.4 ) but I keep getting "ERROR 140 WRONG BOOTLOADER" and it also says the current version is 3.44.841.3 which is why I can't upgrade because I'm really trying to downgrade. The update to 3.44.841.3 from 3.25.841.4 was only about 58Mb but I can't find that and I don't think it would be of much use.
I have also tried to s-off the device with a live Ubuntu 12.04 32bit CD using ControlBear instructions but hit a snag because the sudo ./ControlBear command does nothing. I think the permissions or password may be out of date. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated
I made a PH39IMG.zip from the 3.25.841.4 and tried flashing that but got the Wrong Image message too.
