Phone stuck on HTC screen - HTC Incredible S

I tried to flash a RUU in order to get back to stock but what ended up happening was that after the installation the phone would continue to boot up on the HTC screen and continue in that manner.
When I go into Hboot mode this is the information that comes up:
VIVO PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-6.13.1002
RADIO-3805.04.03.27_M
eMMc-boot
Apr 1 2011, 18:34:39
This is the RUU I used: RUU_Vivo_BellMobility_WWE_1.37.666.3_Radio_Radio_20.23.30.0802U_38.02.01.17_M_release_174461_signed
I know other people have had this problem and some of the solutions recommended were getting the rom.zip file from the RUU and renaming it to PG32IMG.zip and putting that on the root of the sdcard. I would like to know which RUU would be best for doing this as the one I previously used doesn't work.

Since you are S-OFF with the Revolutionary HBOOT, you can not simply flash a RUU to return to stock because the Revolutionary HBOOT prevents itself from being overwritten.
Also the RUU you are attempting to flash is an old Froyo ROM and if you have run any Gingerbread based ROMs, this RUU would have caused you to radio brick your phone. In fact you may have already radio bricked it and that is why it won't boot past the HTC screen.
You need to search this forum for the correct way to remove the Revolutionary S-OFF and return to stock.

I tried using this method to get rid of S-OFF but whenever I attempt 2c I get this: error: cannot load 'vivo_downgrade.img'

You need to put the vivo_downgrade.img file in the same directory where you have adb.exe and fastboot.exe.

Yeah I did the .img file in the same directory, it might be a USB problem although on bootloader it says Fastboot USB so it should be connected properly. Still get the same error.

What does your HBOOT screen show for the Radio version?

The radio version is listed on the HBOOT screen.
Ok, so you put the phone FASTBOOT USB mode, but the command fastboot devices doesn't return anything, right?

I think I listed the Radio version at the top, correct me if it's the wrong one.
I tried using another port but I keep getting the same error, and I don't have another cable on me.

That fact that your phone is booting is a good sign and the radio version is higher than the one in the RUU you tried to run, so that is good.

Do you know of any other way to get back to S-ON that doesn't require using the fastboot commands? None of the methods I've used so far have worked and I'm kind of stuck now.

If you know how to extract the ROM.zip from the RUU and then copy that to your SD card as a PG32IMG.zip then I would try that method.

Thanks a lot! Phone is back up and running again, appreciate the help.

OK, so I tried using the S-ON method from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15732727&postcount=14 again.
This time I got up to step 3b, but I don't know where the 'sdk hboot' folder is supposed to be located. Any help with this?

OK if you are running the Downgrade script, just answer yes when it asks to make a goldcard. That is what is causing the CID error.

Thanks for hijacking the thread. Your question doesn't have anything to do with the topic in the title.
Anyway, in your case it sounds like you have not prepared your PC correctly. Have you installed the latest HTC drivers? Have you verfied that your phone has ADB Debugging enabled on the phone and the FASTBOOT option disabled in Settings?

Sorry for hijacking the thread . I was trying to avoid creating a separate thread for a thing that could be answered in this thread. Yes latest HTC drivers are installed, ADB debugging is enabled and FASTBOOT is disabled. also i have tried this at least 3-4 times, when i disconnect the phone after waiting for around 10mins it asks do you want to create a gold card, then i connect my phone again and press yes. Once the whole process is done and i try to run RUU it says incorrect CID.
Thanks,
Akshay

The question could have also been asked in the downgrade script thread. Go there, read the instructions, specifically the support section and post the required information.
So how can I fix the problem? I'm new to this forum and I don't know what is the next step for fixing the mess.
When I press the volume down and the power I get
Fastboot
recovery
factory reset
sim lock... (but I cant move through these options)
then SD checking \image pg....
loading failed
then CID incorrect!
Update Fail!
Press <POWER> to reboot.
What is the procedure to fix this error? I can't even navigate through the options.
Does it have to do with the unlocking the boot loader in htcdev with ncredible S( asia wwe)?

Yes that's normal, the ruu cannot run on an unlocked bootloader so the script automatically locks it.

[SOLVED] Reversing Incredible S Soft-Brick After Trying to Revert to Stock with RUU

I am literally losing my mind!
About a month ago, I successfully rooted my Incredible S with Revolutionary, which updated my HBoot to 6.13.x, and then flashed Cyanogenmod 7 through ClockworkMod Recovery. For various reasons, I needed to give my phone to someone in stock form, so I tried using the rom.zip file from the stock RUU of my phone I found on these forums. After it seemingly completed successfully, except for the fact that it said it couldn't roll back HBoot, it asked to reboot, and ever since then, it repeatedly turns on and off, only making it as far as the first HTC logo. Bootloader still works, while recovery doesn't. Selecting recovery restarts the on-off problem. What should I do to revert to stock? Thanks in advance for ALL help.
Phone is from Bell Mobility, I think.
***Note: I know I shouldn't post unless going through EVERYTHING similar or related, which I've been literally doing for the past ten hours. Nothing has worked.

You need to flash the vivo_downgrade.img in fastboot mode before running an RUU if you have revolutionary s-off

After you do the fastboot command, you can then run the RUU again and it should then change the HBOOT.

Yeah I did run the RUU after, and after it once again seemingly finished successfully, I rebooted to the same problem, so I just dismissed it. Looking at it now, the Hboot has downgraded. Does this mean that if I run the RUU once more, I"ll be back to stock? Also, S-ON is on as well. Thanks for the help.

To remove the TAMPERED and LOCK the bootloader, you will have to S-OFF using rumrunner for hboot 1.5x or revone for hboot 1.44
The current Rumrunner can work with a custom rom e.g. the latest version of ARHD or Insertcoin ROM that has an unsecure kernel. To do this though you will have to unlock the bootloader using htcdev and install the custom rom and then S-OFF

My current situation is : M7_UL PVT Ship S- On Tampered relocked & unrooted again. No Rom installed, no backup, no recovery!
:'(
I tried installing RUU file but it failed, tried two/three different RUUs.
Also tried to achieve S-Off but maybe I'm to dumb & it didn't work.
I'm out of ideas, please help me

Yeah you cant boot .img files any more with s-on or s-off htc removed it in the now HBOOT and fastboot.
Dont panic mate its really easy to fix
Simply download ARHD from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183023 make sure you have all the latest drivers and everything installed and rename the file to rom.zip you will need TWRP for this i believe and simply boot to recovery (TWRP) and push thw file to your sdcard using adb push rom.zip /sdcard (takes a while) simply flash arhd rom.
Once your phone boots you can use rumrunner.us to s-off the phone. Follow the instructions on their site. Once thats done boot to fastboot and use the command fastboot oem writecid 11111111 you will now have supercid and you can now flash any ruu you like. (unless you need to downgrade hboot.) If thats the case pm me and i can guide you through it on here.

Tbh I know in theory xposed should be dangerous but it's really not. I would defo s-off though you need to install the latest firmware which you will be missing and addresses a LOT of issues. S-off the device and I will show you how to upgrade the firmware

I used to use ARHD but I switched to maximus HD because of the OTA and the 360 camera mod.
So to upgrade firmware you want to boot into fastboot and type "fastboot getvar mid" write it down then go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485651 and download the correct version against your mid.
Put it in your adb/fastboot folders and making sure your still in fastboot type "fastboot oem rebootRUU"
Once you phone boots into update mode you will see a HTC logo on your screen and nothing else.
Rename the firmware you just downloaded to firmware.zip and type "fastboot flash zip firmware.zip"
It will say say failed pre hboot update flush image again. Simply type the exact same cmd again "fastboot flash zip firmware.zip" and it will flash the latest firmware.
The progress bar on your phone probably won't go all the way up but as long as cmd says finished its done so just type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and if you look your main-os will have changed.
That's it.
Your on the latest firmware meaning all the Roms should run smoothly and you should have no more issues with exposed.

One thing I forgot to mention you need super cid so if you havn't already you need to be in fastboot and you need to type "fastboot oem writecid 11111111" and then fastboot reboot-bootloader you cod should have changed to 11111111 allowing you to flash an ruu for any phone now.
Everything done, thanks for your help!
Good night ;;?

Yeah afraid so. Tbf I don't know of that is the case for every phone but the m7_ul UK edition couldn't get it to work on any device I tried after contacting a friend who I have inside HTC's repair centre he claimed the feature does not work with the latest hboot.
I might see if I can get some other devices from work to test this further and if it is true for all variants then maybe enroll on a workaround

Wouldn't it make sense to start a thread for a specific problem? It makes it easier when someone with a similar problem searches for it on the forums. That way, later you can refer to this thread when someone runs into the same troubles, instead of linking to a 40 page thread and say "Weed through pages 31-39 for the resolution"

Anyway, I finally got it to find the device, but it said it wasn't the proper ROM and had to abort...how do I get the right RUU tool?
That is dependant on your fastboot output. You need the RUU to match or exceed your main version and have to have the same CID.

There is already good guides for all the issues you encounter, so chances we will refer someone to this thread are slim.
What RUU are you trying to flash, can you post a link? Also an updated ''fastboot getvar all'' of your phone would help.
What OS are you using now? Still on your MAC? If on Windows which version are you using? XP, 7, 8.0, 8.1 ?

With s-off you can flash a ruu either with a locked/re-locked or unlocked bootloader.
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip <name_of_file>.zip

And tried with a different file
Gave the second command, and it started to write a whole bunch of files. 10 minutes later it said finished, and I rebooted. It boot looped a few times and was giving me the same crash at the homescreen. I was about the throw it across the room when it said "Activate device failed, click here to do it manually"
Followed the steps and the first text message came in, so now I'm installing Slimkat. It's given me a few errors now that it wasn't giving before, but I'll work through it and update.

I did sms backup/restore from my old phone, and moved the backup file to my new phone and did a restore. 30,000+ messages. The restore took about 10 minutes, but now when I open message it's very very very behind, and keeps crashing. Should I just let it run it's course?
