I have searched the forums, and I can not find the answer to my specific situation. Please forgive me if it is there somewhere. The story…….
- last working ROM was VIVO ICS official, RUU installed. (RUU_VIVO_ICS_35_S_HTC_WWE_4.10.405.1_Radio_20.74.30.0833U_3831.18.00.11_M_release_266013_signed.exe). HBOOT was changed to 2.02 S-ON, bootloader locked. I unlocked via HTCdev. Before this I had IceColdSandwich 8.1.1, ENG Hboot S-OFF. I had originally used the GB downgrade ROM to S-OFF, and restored IceCold backup after this.
- I wanted to be S-OFF again, and so tried installing this zip using CWM Recovery, following the advice of tpbklake:
vivo_signed_WWE_4.10.405.1_ICS_SENSE36_5.zip Version 1.1
(from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756500&page=1)
- now boot loop. I tried reinstalling other ROMs which I have successfully installed in the past (GB downgrade, stock ICS), and also restore various backups, but all result in boot loop (stuck on white HTC screen). Each time I would use CWM Recovery to clear dalvik, cache etc.
- I have now followed 'fix' instructions in that same thread, ie. :
1. Download the file lib.zip from here: http://bit.ly/PwK4BH
2. Unzip the lib.img and place it on your PC where you have fastboot.exe installed.
3. Boot into FASTBOOT USB mode and then enter the following command:
fastboot flash lib lib.img
4. Download the file format_lib_update.zip from here: http://bit.ly/RIpEUL
5. Copy it to your SD card.
6. Boot into recovery and then install format_lib_update.zip
7. While in recovery format the SYSTEM partition.
8. Then reinstall vivo_signed_WWE_4.10.405.1_ICS_SENSE36_5.zip
But at step 3 I get the following:
C:\adb>fastboot flash lib lib.img
sending 'lib' (155648 KB)...
OKAY [ 27.553s]
writing 'lib'...
(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 52.417s
C:\adb>
Please help! I’m close to considering myself properly bricked, and using that as an excuse to go and buy a OneX.

OK, so what is the state of your HBOOT? Are you still HBOOT 2.02.0002 UNLOCKED?
When you are using the an unlocked HTC HBOOT and you flash a custom ROM in CWM, you then manually have to extract the boot.img file from that ROM's zip file and flash it manually in FASTBOOT USB mode. If you don't do that, you will get a boot loop.
What you need to do if you can still get into CWM and the bootloader is still UNLOCKED is reflash that ROM again and then flash the boot.img file in FASTBOOT mode and you should be ok.

I should have mentioned, I already tried that. However, I will try it one more time. I tried so many things - if I try it again in isolation, I will be 100% sure I am telling you the truth.

Well then you can always relock the bootloader and then run the 4.10.405.1 RUU like you did originally. Then you can unlock the bootloader since you already have the unlock_code.bin file.

Once you get back to that point, unlock the bootloader, install ClockworkMod and then flash su-3.0.7-efghi.zip to root the official ROM. Then you should be able to rerun the downgrade process to get back to S-OFF.

Thanks very much. The stock ICS RUU has now installed successfully. I guess when I originally tried to reinstall it, I had left out the 'RELOCK' step, which is why it failed.
So now I am back to the start (stock ICS + HBOOT 2.02 S-ON), and want to get S-OFF and install your ROM zip. ,What I originally intended to do to get S-OFF was:
1) Unlock the bootloader, flash CWM Recovery, flash SU
2) Run downgrade GB RUU
3) S-off with Revolutionary
4) Install Blackrose HBOOT
5) Install your vivo_signed_WWE_4.10.405.1_ICS_SENSE36_5.zip
But step 2) failed with an unknown error. (I then tried to install your zip, and the rest is the sad history.....).
So what caused step 2 to fail? Did I need to relock the bootloader first?
Many thanks for your help, tpbklake

What is the status of your bootloader? Is it locked, unlocked or relocked? If it is locked you may have to answer n to is the phone rooted to give temp root. If not on page 76 of this post there is the same issue.

And fyi it will not change the h boot version, only the main ver which is reported at the end of the script.

One more thing, I would try flashing another ROM, i came from Niks Sense 4a rom, and the script worked with no issues.
Remember you will need to manually flash the boot.img of the rom as you are S-ON.

Open a command window and then type in the command:
adb shell
If you get a # prompt then your ROM is rooted correctly and the script should run. If it doesn't then the ROM isn't properly rooted and the script will fail.

You can either do it via my tool or the others or do it manual by installing goo.im and let that flash recovery. Then find superuser as a flash able zip from xda and flash it.

i have ran ETv3. xl multitool 2.1. both give me a error saying there is more than one device and emulator. does this mean there is a software issue on my phone or certain usb plugged into my pc? i read somewhere i have to uninstall htc sync. do i reinstall this?

If i remeber correctly goo.im require s off. When using computer, use a USB 2.0 port and correct drivers installed and if still same issue remove what is attached to USB but keep keyboard and mouse. Also try not to use a USB port in from of the computer but use the port from the main board directly in the back and use no USB hubs.

ok so i unplugged everything and stuck it in a usb port in the back. i somehow got the cwm to run. however it wont find the super su file even when i put it into the root of the phone. ricky i tried your app. it keeps saying more than one emulator running and device. phone is still s-on

this is a bad experience, better to backup everything by the Go Backup and copy it to PC before root.
Attempted my first root and ROM flash.
Followed HTC Holiday Superguide instructions (I did skip the S-OFF bit) then tried to flash CyanogenMod 10 using these instructions. Got stuck on the CyanogenMod flash screen. Don't quite remember what I did in my panicked attempts to recover. I did relock the bootloader at some point.
Now the phone continually boots to HBoot.
Can't find the RUU I need anywhere (Telstra 3.44.841.3).
Should I return to Apple in shame having found myself not man enough for rooted Androids? Or can someone help me regain some self-respect?

Okay so you no longer have a custom recovery installed ? Is your HBOOT still locked ? If it is still locked unlock it and Flash TWRP or WCX recovery and see if you can boot into recovery.

It is still locked, but can I flash TWRP or WCX without having access to the phone's internal SD card through Windows? I don't know how to get them on there without that (when I connect the phone to my PC, I don't get the option anymore).

No SDCARD ?
Either way you can have the recovery saved to some place on your PC and flash it to the phone. In HBOOT you should select fastboot USB and this will allow you to send fastboot commands to the phone. EX fastboot flash recovery recovery.img to flash a recovery.

Yes, it was, so I unlocked and successfully ran fastboot flash recovery wcxrecovery.img. What do you think I should do now?

Sorry, I realised after I posted my last reply that you said I should try that earlier, I but had to wait five minutes before XDA would let me post again.
Yes, I can now boot into recovery. What next?

Your set.. you should be able to flash your rom of choice and fastboot flash boot boot.im (I'm assuming your not S-OFF) and then the phone will boot up like it should. The boot.img file will be located in the ROM zip but you may have to push modules around to get wifi to work depending on the ROM.

Okay, I'll have another crack at it, then. Thanks very much, esloan. I really appreciate your help.
Well, I haven't managed to get anywhere. I've tried flashing a couple of different ROMs, but I couldn't get them to boot. When I boot into recovery, I get a bunch of "Can't mount" notifications. Is that bad?
Did you start with clockworkmod?
If so...
Boot to recovery...
Mount via USB(in the mount menu)
Hook to windows...
Let windows format it...
Try again
CWM has a problem with formatting/wiping

No, I haven't used CWM.
Did you use factory reset from the hboot menu then?

Hi -
Thanks for any help in advance. I'm a bit of a rookie round here, I've rooted and flashed my past 3 HTC phones but taken the easy route every time.
But today, I've used ADB commands to flash the revone binary and unlock and get s-off on my HTC one m7. It took me several tries, but it eventually worked (or at least said successful). So my HBOOT 1.44 says UNLOCKED & S-OFF.
So onto the next step. fastboot flash recovery recoverytwrp.img
...
Another success!
So, I reboot into bootloader and prompt recovery boot like I'm about to get HAM on twrp and flash some superuser files. It shows me a developer screen full of red print saying that it's booting into recovery, and then after a while, it just rebooted back into system.
It does this every time. I reflashed the image, I flashed the stock image, I tried the hansoon tool. each time I can't actually get into the recovery.
So this is where I'm stuck. Why can't I get anywhere with this?
EDIT & ANSWER;
Sprint phone needed Sprint TWRP image
Have you tried

This.
Just do evrything again until you finish installing custom recoveries. Before rebooting, erase the cache with "fastboot erase cache"

Gave that all a shot all over again. Still can't boot into recovery
Is fast boot off?
Use the original cable your One came with, go into bootloader power/vol - then open a cmd window
Now connect the One with your computer, don't use a USB 3.0 connection, and a different one then before.
In bootloader choose fastboot, that should change to fastboot USB
In cmd window point to your fastboot directory where you also copied the recovery to, I would try CWM touch for now.
Type cd c:\fastboot (or what your toolfolder is called)
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
That installs the recovery, you can select it in bootloader abd boot into it.

Same deal. On it's way to booting into recovery it goes blank, resets and reboots into system

There's the last log - and then on it's way to recovery there's a red disclaimer and a pink text saying "Entering Recovery"...then after 20 seconds it resets
Did you try various recovery (versions) ? May be , you just have corrupted recovery image.

Ok , I see mysterious problem ))
Try, remaining unlocked, go back to s-on (you can always take s-off again) and check your recovery (enter and flashing) under s-on.

Is that something I can do with the revone binary? To be honest, I have no idea how to turn security back on. I can relock it and that may be about it.
I stumbled upon another thread, shares a common theme as my issue, but with a different twist. Using a superboot.img as a rooting method instead of flashing it via recovery. It somewhere says that the boot.img needs to be flashed as well, however I can't find a decent boot.img to flash. The superboot tool seems like unproven territory right now.
Here's the other thread, I've leafed through it and found no determinable answer for my particular issue.

Do not apply revone to return s-on!
Use fastboot by "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3".
Be convinced that bootloader is unlocked before return to s-on.
Regarding your issue: I suspect that a certain code in HBOOT tries to install TAMPERED flag when sees custom recovery, but isn't able to do it correctly because s-off (bypassing security) and a certain mistake or exception conducts to reset phone.

Right now I've done all the above, I've got a *** TAMPERED *** and ***UNLOCKED*** and S-ON
I've been through 4 boots, 2 of them attempts to get to recovery. Now instead of recovery rebooting into system, it just shuts off now.
Where do you think I go from here?
I've just skimmed through the posts and didn't see this mentioned
If you are still able to boot into the system, download either GooManager (for TWRP) or RomManager (for CWM) and use either of those apps to install recovery. Once done, you can use the app to boot into recovery instead of the fancy ADB commands or button presses.

The man resolved this by flashing the same recovery many many times.
And more.. Please print here your recovery flashing process

So both that method through ADB shell and GooManager require root. Every rooting method requires recovery, so I don't have perm root yet.
You quoted me, but answered not to me.
Read a post #26 from my link above
Possible Solution
Hello I have the same problem and the solution was:
1. Settings - Energy- Fastboot uncheked
2. Flash Recovery usin one all-in-one-kit
3. Erase Cache 3 times
4. Unplug to PC, and load into system normal
5. Turn off phone - via stock menu NOT FORCE TO OFF pressing the off button
6. Wait 2 minutes, and boot into HBOOT - Power + Volume(-) pressing
7. Choose recovery
Ready.. May these work for you! Let me know
Hi I just have bought my new HTC desire 10 pro and I wanted to root it using ADB and fastboot to flash TWRP recovery and then install SuperSU like i did with older phones. With this one when I try to flash TWRP with fastboot tool it says to me:
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: download for partition 'recovery' is not allowed)
Now... I have tried OEM unlocking enabled or not and i can see it working in bootloader (**LOCKED** or **UNLOCKED**)
I read somewhere that HTC has the download mode for flashing, but when is in that mode nor adb nor fastboot can detect the device plugged in.
This has something to do with S-ON and S-OFF? I understood that is a kind of NAND memory protection.
If you have a simpler way with some exploit or working apk is also accepted because I only want root and dont care of flashing custom ROMs for now.
Thanks,
Joe

S-On or S-Off doesnt matter for what you need to do.
First go to HTCDev website and unlock your bootloader, the phone model isn't shown but select "other supported models".
Then install device drivers and ADB fastboot
Dowload TWRP 3.1 for your variant from here and flash it by fastboot
twrp-3.1.1-0-a56dj_pro_uhl.img
twrp-3.1.1-0-a56dj_pro_dugl.img (dual sim)
Download SuperSU and flash it using TWRP.
I think your problem is either bootloader not unlocked or drivers missing, anyway good luck ! :good:

You need to boot the phone to download mode and then flash the twrp...adb reboot download should do it, then the usual fastboot command to flash twrp..Bootloader needs to be unlocked via htcdev first

The provided links for twrp are not working. Can you please provide the link for twrp for HTC desire 10 pro
I did not build those twrp files, I just found them on another post by @sabpprook
The links are now expired, you'll have to ask @sabpprook to post them again please.
But I found another twrp file for the HTC Desire 10 Pro dual sim version by @jemmini
