HELP: Stuck in bootloader with after BlackRose HBOOT

Seeing that ICS has finally come out, I got into 'flash' mode and decided before I do anything I'll update HBOOT from Revolutionary to BlackRose. After a few attempts, it flashed and displayed it in bootloader, BUT I could not load OS and was stuck at the HTC logo.
Figured my only solution is to uninstall BlackRose to get my phone up and running again, using the /uninstall option in BlackRose, seemed to have worked, but upon reboot I was still stuck in bootloader plus this time I had *Security Warning* AND my phone has become S-ON after the uninstall.
Now I've tried fastboot'ing the original BELL stock rom that came with the phone but am getting a FAILED (remote: not allowed) error, and can't get anywhere now.
Any help/suggestions from the community would be great.
UPDATE: after playing around some more in fastboot, I got a little further, but now my error is (43 main version check fail).

I suggest you go back to the RUU. Use this one since you have upgraded to a GB radio based on your signature:
http://www.filefactory.com/file/c0a...5AU_3805.04.03.27_M_release_199657_signed.exe

Just attempted that ROM.
When using RUU, I get this ERROR [140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR.
When flashing the zip with fastboot I get FAILED (remote: not allowed).
So no luck with that one. Anyone else?
If anyone is curious. Here's my variables.

Doing a 'fastboot oem rebootRUU' and 'fastboot erase cache' gets me back to the (43 main version check fail) error.
Tried the RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_KT_KR_2.32.1010.1_Radio_20.2810.30.085AU_3805.06.03.16_M_release_199684_signed rom which is the same mainver, but still don't work as it comes back with a signature verify fail.
Ideas from anyone would be great. This brick isn't doing me any good.

Anybody have a suggestion for me or been in the same boat?
trying to flash original BELL rom: i get main version is older error.
trying to flash same mainver stock rom: i get model id incorrect error.
then adding model id to android-info.txt gains me signature verify fail. Which seems to be my main issue.
Just stuck in bootloader with S-ON and Security Warning message.

Make a goldcard and give this RUU/ROM a try. It has the right modelid and has a higher mainver.
http://www.filefactory.com/file/c0a...5AU_3805.06.03.16_M_release_203211_signed.exe

Trying to figure out a way to create a GoldCard without the phone, just using my laptops SD card reader, coming up short at the moment.
Any way to read CID for GoldCard using Windows?

Solved. Wife came home, used her Android to make GoldCard. Life saved.

[Q] Black HTC screen with 4 exclamation marks after RUU Update

I found similar problem wich one user had with HTC Desire that now I have with my friend's Vivid. Here what he have posted:
Whompa 1 said:
Hi all. I have a major issue with my fiancée's phone. I tryed to downgrade from Alpharev CM7 hboot using an RUU. My mistake as I got an error saying "incorrect version". In the hboot it displays as the system did not load after the RUU error. So now I get a black HTC screen with 4 exclamation marks 1 in each corner View attachment 700934 this appears when I connect the phone via USB. But when I take it off USB it displays this View attachment 700933. So these are the only 2 screens I have access to, I can flash stuff via fastboot using CMD prompt but nothing has succeeded so far. I do not have access to the normal hboot and fastboot menus. Any ideas are very welcome.
Save me.

So my history started 3 days ago from the call from my friend, to whom I am godfather of his son, and told me that his Vivid can't load and stuck on white screen with htc letters and can't load. I was looking throw this forum and decided that bootloader is broken. So I downloaded the file PH39IMG.zip of ~35 MB and after loading in fastboot with Power+Volume Down have updated. After this the Vivid rebooted and was working good so I returned the phone to my friend. In 2 days after he told me that he has problems again: he tried using wi-fi at home and as he told "It was not working" so he went into settings and chosen Factory reset. After this phone stucked on white screen and nothing else, so he asked me to help him again (because everything he can do with Android is backing up his contacts ) also he asked me to flash some custom ROM on JB. But I decided to recover in stock ROM first. So I started from copying the stock ROM renamed into PH39IMG.zip to sd card. Then loading into bootloader I confirm the update. It has checked and updated all strings and rebooted. After this it has started updating again but there were more strings than before. On the string User data update was stucking in about the half. I was waiting for more than 3 hours and realized that something wrong with it. So I switched the phone off by taking the battery out, I loaded in bootloader and decided not to spent the time but to start unlocking bootloader, getting S-OFF, flashing the CWM or other Recovery and finally flashing the custom ROM. I have to say that I have drivers installed from Android SDK, as I was working before with different Android devices and everything was successful. I have to thanks you guys as all I did before were found on this forum which I am regularly reading for more than 1 year. I also have adb tools and Vivid_All-In-One_Kit_v2.2 installed. So using the last one I started from unlocking bootloader. I did all steps and after receiving Unlock_code.bin file and pressed Unlock bootloader in Vivid_All-In-One_Kit I got screen on the phone for unlocking the bootloader. Off course with the help of Volume Up key I've chosen Yes BUT (!!!!!) pressing the Power button of the phone did not do any action - it just like this button was not working! I had to take the battery off and boot in bootloader with Power and Volume Down and it is loaded, so Power button is working, but the banner of bootloader was "LOCKED"!!! So after reading different topics as I didn't make unlocking, S-OFF etc. I decided to update stock ROM with the help of RUU_HOLIDAY_ICS_35_S_Cingular_US_3.26.502.56_Radio_3.02.4740.14_34.22.701040.19_release_246712_signed.exe
It has started with such screens:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then it was going and stucked on 34%. I was waiting for more then 1 hour (it was a notification that update process will take about 10 minutes) but the screnn was the same 34% and looking like still updating as status indicated by dots running was in progress:
So with no any ideas I decided to unplug the USB cable and I got the following:
So I have plugged again and followed all steps with unlpugging/taking battery off and in/plugging and here what screens I've seen:
And after resuming update I got the same stuck on 34%!!!!:crying:
And the worth was that now I got a black HTC screen with 4 exclamation marks 1 in each corner:
and when I take the battery off and then put it on it shows the same after turning the phone on (and it's no matter if I just press the Power button or trying to load bootloader with Power+Volume Down) - same screen. If I plug the USB cable and then unplug it will show the following:
What is interesting is that when I plugging USB and run cmd under Win7 and no matter where to go in root of my Win: ADB_Tools or Android or Vivid_All-In-One_Kit_v2.2 folders and running the fastboot devices - it can see the phone:
but when i am trying different tricks in Vivid_All-In-One_Kit_v2.2 such as unlock bootloader it is give such error as device not found:
and when I am trying to flash the kernel I got such result which seemed to stucking:
As I understand I got the soft-brick?
I even have no ideas what to do, as I am in Ukraine and Vivid is US model, so I am afraid visiting the service centre will take so much time to do something with the phone...:crying:
So I have only the last hope - suppose on your help, guys!
Sorry for possible mistakes as I am f...ing with this Vivid the second day and have slept only 3 hours yesterday and will sleep only 2 hours today as it is already 5:39 AM in Ukraine and I have to get up at 7:30 to send my kids to school

Have you tried a ph39.img update instead of an ruu? You said stock ROM not sure what you meant
Sent from my HTC Vivid 4G

Well you could us a ph39img.zip for this phone you will have a strong chance to recovering it.... Just grab a gingerbread version of the ph39 IMG.zip or an ics one with the new hboot.IMG in it too

Because I had the same issue when I owed the phone. And it seems after reading your process to get to the point you are I did the exact same, but I just download a ruu.zip for that phone and updated it thru hboot and my problem was fixed.

The stock ROM was used, downloaded by link from this forum and renamed into PH39IMG.zip.

As I see nobody know what to do?
I was thinking, is it possible if I have another Vivid working fine to copy system from it or make image of internal memory data and load on this one. But I don't know how to do it
Is there any possibility to make this

Did you try locking the bootloader before starting the RUU???

I think it's in your best interest in making the phone Super CID. The one above is indeed a Vodafone CID, so you can only run Vodafone RUU's on it.
I made an acrobat .pdf file (copied from the original thread on it). See the attachment.
After you Super CID you can run any RUU on the phone and it will take it.
As for the OP: I believe he has to download and install the proper ph39img.zip for the phone. I don't think renaming a file to that will cause it to work correctly. Currently his bootloader is messed up.

[Q] Corrupt serial number and model ID

So I can't seem to find a solution to my specific issue. A little background first. I was on Modaco switch beta 13 and decided I'd move on to something else because 1) hadn't been an update for quite a while and 2) I really didn't switch back to Sense except when I wanted to play around with Zoe. I restarted into CWM recovery and tried to flash CM 11. It gave me an error and I realized I was downlevel on CWM recovery. I tried to flash an updated CWM and now only have access to fastboot. When I try to boot to recovery it gives me the HTC splashscreen and hangs. I tried TWRP, CWM, and stock with the same results.
Checking fastboot getvar I noticed some really strange entries. serialno and modelid were corrupt. Here is the output of fastboot getvar all

Maybe you can edit the android-info.txt of the eng hboot. I.E replacing the ''MODELID: PN0710000'' for ''MODELID: ********* '' don't forget to add your CID too (BS_US001). Or maybe replacing the MODELID with your corrupted MID: (MODELID: �)
Which eng hboot are you trying to flash? There are some rumrunner hboot with eng commands set (full set of fastboot oem commands) here: http://rumrunner.us/hboots/
or maybe with the eng hboot from here
edit: Did you erased cache after flashing recovery?
if you can get recovery to boot then you could use this tool to change MID
did you tried a ruu.zip? even if im almost sure it will output the same model id error...

I was actually thinking/wondering about that. I guess that'll be my next step. I wasn't sure what to put for the MODELID since mine currently is corrupt. But I suppose I could try both. Good idea.

Yes, I did erase cache. Don't know if I need to, but usually do that every time I try something.

DO NOT lock bootloader or go S-ON.
You should flash the HTC DEV edition firmware. Also use a different computer/USB/port to ensure this problem is in the phone

Yes, I tried the RUU from HTC's site for the developer edition and it claimed my battery was low. I'll charge and try again.
It was a good idea to try a different computer. I had already tried two different USB cables and a different port. All with the same results. Even the other computer gave me the same response.
So I had a few ideas. 1) modify the fastboot source to ignore the error for incorrect mid and flash anyway. After trying a few hacks with the code I read the protocol.txt and determined that it wasn't fastboot that was complaining but the bootloader. So that left my other idea (which was actually the first idea I had). Find out what that gibberish was and put that in the android-info.txt as my modelid then hope the bootloader did a compare with the gibberish I had in the android-info.txt. Unfortunately that didn't work either. I re-compiled fastboot with a few mods of my own so I could get the full details of the gibberish. I modified the output to give me the hex values of what the phone thought it's serial number and model id was. Here is the output:
Code:
# ./fastboot getvar modelid
modelid: �

is there any way you can get to an "adb shell" (custom recovery or booted ROM)?
you have "(bootloader) version-bootloader: 1.44.0000"
can you please try

looks really messy in here!! :crying:
is there any way you can get to an "adb shell" (custom recovery or booted ROM)?
you have "(bootloader) version-bootloader: 1.44.0000"
can you please try
fastboot boot <name of custom recovery>.img
if you can get to adb working let me know...

I tried this but got to the same white HTC splashscreen. Just sits there. Never seems to make it to recovery.
I've tried ADB commands, but it appears it isn't fully loaded so I'm not able to connect via ADB. I'll try flashing the RUU, but it sounds like that other person in that thread didn't have good results even after a successful RUU flash! :crying:
I'm really starting to get worried that there isn't much I can do to fix the issue. I'm going crazy without a phone.

I know!!! Spent 3 or 4 serious teamviewer sessions with him, after getting android-info.txt "fixed" (for that MID, if you can call it that), and successfully fully flashing ruu (from a to z), still nothing.
and without able to get (and eventually, if possible, write) to the specific partitions in question, then it looks like it will need a motherboard replacement.

uh oh! Perhaps the only saving grace for me is that I have an unlocked bootloader. I read about using hexedit to make a malformed android-info.txt. Perhaps I should try that. Although I'm a little worried because I kinda thought I tried that. But wasn't able to flash the ENG bootloader.

ROUND 2: was able to create a "good" (as you mentioned "malformed" android-info.txt), and able to flash anything and everything in ruu mode
ROUND 5: got the bootloader unlocked
==> still no joy
if you can get to read / write partitions, let me know, I know which ones i'm after, though only through adb; if there is a way doing it in fastboot i would love to know.

This is kinda scary. Looks like the exact same issue the other guy had!
So I found out I had a special char before the proper hex number. So I was able to flash the ENG bootloader. I've set my serial number and model ID via fastboot oem write* commands. Now getvar shows correct information:
Code:
# ./fastboot getvar all

Although all is NOT good. I still think that the model id is messed up somewhere. From the bootloader if I select "barcode", it displays correct IMEI and S/N. The Model ID is still all jacked up and has all sorts of gibberish. I don't get it because the getvar mid displays the correct model ID (PN07120).
I flashed recovery and tried to boot to recovery (also using the command you gave me), but hangs in the same spot. Still no ADB access! :crying:

Ah, that could have been my problem. I re-wrote the mid by the following:
Code:
# ./fastboot oem writemid PN0712000
...
(bootloader) Start Verify: 0
OKAY [ 0.073s]
finished. total time: 0.073s
But the model id is still messed up on the barcode.
One other thing to note is it still shows UNKNOWN instead of PVT for version-misc. I'd guess that be causing problems too. Sounds like more than just the mid and serialno got corrupt.

So any updates? The real problem is that the partition that got corrupted contains a lot of info, that cannot be found anywhere else on the phone (not only MID and serial number, much more)
I even think I've thought of a way to rewrite that partition, but the question is: with what information (MID, PID, s/n, etc).
Do you still have the box of the phone? (some of that info in that partition is on the original box, but not all of it)

Are you thinking mmcblk0p6, the mfg partition? I think that could work by dumping a known good one, flashing over the corrupt partition in fastboot or recovery and then using eng hboot to rewrite original sn, imei, mid, cid, etc.
Imei is etched on sim tray, other info can also be found in a couple of other partitions.

Yep, exactly :good:
CID and IMEI, not worried about, the original ones can be found in two other partitions (unless CID was changed, but of little consequence), the bad ones (that don't seem to be anywhere else), are: MAC (hmm), MID, S/N, PID and the others I don't even know what they mean
and would the rest of the parameters in that partition (board version, gains, etc) matter.
PS: unfortunately can't seem to get to recovery in any way with a corrupt p6, trust me I tried

But fastboot is OK? If so, eng hboot has a lot of commands, maybe possible to flash mfg info into p6 that way. Don't have access to my laptop atm, but can check it out later if you don't get to it first. ?

actually, I was thinking of simply:
fastboot flash /dev/block/mmcblk0p6 <name of good p6>.img
(or /dev/mmcblk0p6 or mmcblk0p6, whatever would work)
but I would really like to pull the corrupted one first, since so many parameters are repeated in p6, then if it's only partially corrupted, one could (theoretically) reconstruct it.
Problem is, I have no idea how to "dd" it out, using only fastboot. in ENG hboot there are commands, but I've found zero (concrete) information about their use.

If the partition can be pulled using adb then it can be compared to a working file and being right information be inserted and written back to the device that is my theory.

no adb , that would make things a lot easier (maybe), only fastboot commands, so if anybody knows how to "dd" partitions using fastboot only please let us know.

[Q] (Q) Lollipop soft brick help please

Hi all,
My friend handed me his HTC One M7 the other day and it was looping at the beginning Android / HTC screen from boot, he took the lollipop update but it failed somewhere along the way and this is how it's ended up.
The device is not rooted and is not bootloader unlocked, i've tried to flash a few RUU files to bring it back to life but the vast majority of them only get as far as 1/5 checking header.
I'm more than happy to root the device and install a custom rom but I wasn't sure if it needed to be bootable to do so, afaik the bootloader unlocking doesn't require to have the device on, infact I don't think you need to have the OS to get a custom recovery either? Anyway, i'd like for him to retain his warranty so if there's a way for him to get it back to stock HTC then i'd prefer to do that.
If that's not possible and unlocking the bootloader, installing a custom rom is then I'll do that.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.
PS: I have had the m7 before but I didn't have it when android 5 was available so i'm a little out of touch with what may go wrong.

Connect the phone to your computer, Boot it in bootloader mode select "fastboot" mode and make sure "fastboot usb" is shown in red. Open a fastboot command prompt:
Code:
fastboot getvar all
post the output here but make sure to hide the imei and serialno before posting.

Thanks mate I'm in bed at the moment but will do after work tomorrow,, Appreciate your help, im guessing this is to see what firmware is installed? Or hboot? I'll come back tomorrow, Many thanks.

Firmware, hboot, CID, MID, S-ON/S-OFF, M7_UL/M7_U

Checking header 1/5..ill give you a clue...your ruu that you going to flash,it has to match firmware that is on it now...as you are s-on,you cant change firmware.so,try with other ruu's,some that maches firmware number..not older,not newer.
And like others said,give them "getvar all" info.

I'm 100% confident it will work. Just make sure to use the fastboot version linked in that thread which is a version made by HTC. Only this version of fastboot will work to flash this ruu since the "normal" fastboot can't handle the file size of that ruu. Also make sure your bootloader is locked or relocked.

First of all, I got my m7 unlocked and stuffs. Then my supersu keep on appearing error for stop responding
Therefore I realize maybe my supersu was too old or something based on the tutorial, the zip was older version. I flashed with update-supersu.zip , thats where my nightmare begin.
I reboot after flashing it, HTC logo bootup appear then went on blankscreen. I tried to wiped data and factory reset still the same
Next I was trying to flash full firmware thought it should bring back my m7 to life, not successful, and tried different rom(Google stock rom), it all shows
writing 'zip'...
(bootloader) adopting the signature contained in this image...
FAILED (remote: not allowed)

first of all, i figure out a few things here, maybe someone could help with my informations
If was planning to make it S-OFF but with Hboot 1.61 i will need to pay $25 for sunshine, X.
So the only way is that I flash stock M7_U 7.18.709.102 (HTC_Asia_TW), im not sure whats the correct way to do that. Or flash something ruu? I have no idea about that
saw from somewhere saying "if you are s on, you will have to do this seperate boot image install every time you want to flash a new rom"
what am I suppose to do? while the meantime im downloading the zip and its freaking slow, take very long (if someone got a better download website) due to the mirror
my recovery mode, fastboot and bootloader are functioning which is something im still happy for.
Please if someone could help me out

Sometimes downloading things requires patience.
Im not sure exactly how S-ON flashing works but i did hear somewhere that something to do with boot image gets involved

I found out the best way to bring back my m7 is to use RUU method, but when i try to flash zip it shows "failed"
./fastboot-mac flash zip PN07IMG.zip
sending 'zip' (1975775 KB)...
FAILED (remote: 02 data length is too large)

maybe the RUU is not right for my phone?
Don't know whether is it i downloaded wrong rom file for my device

You must use htc_fastboot.exe to flash a RUU if it's a Lollipop version (version starting with 7.xx.xxx.x). Others fastboot versions won't work.

Does not apply to the M7, the boot partition isn't write protected like previous htc devices.
