I think it's to do with the radio, someone said that in the alpharevx chat.
did they say how to fix?
is it in the alpharev x thread?
can you link?
how long do you wait for the white htc screen?
I took quite a while for it to load, ill say try reboot and wait for 30 mins
and make sure u have ext4 if the rom require ext4
and i dont think that your phone is bricked
same here...
hi, i am in the same boat as you are. I s-offed through alpharevx, great work btw! I also rooted through superoneclick by means of gingerbreak, also great work! thank these guys so much. Here comes the problem. I downloaded rom manager from the market and installed clockworkmod recovery through that. and i attempted to load a custom rom through the recovery tool. it went fine without any error. however, when i try to reboot, i get the htc logo on white background.... I flashed partition using ext4 formatting tool from here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1088498 , i also flashed the radio specified in this post....but same thing, stuck at "htc"... help...
you have to install 4EXTRecovery_v1.0.6_modded_CWMR_v4.0.0 first. you can find the steps here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1104765. when I tried with just Format_data_partition_EXT4 I got the same results as you
Thank you! I tried the other recovery you mentioned. worked like a charm! Thanks.
once you've flashed, let me know if you still have earpiece volume with the custom rom. And if you do, did you flash a new radio?

Thats not right ... which rom? If its ARHD ... then did you try the AU radio linked in the first post?
That will surely give you sound on ARHD ...
Sent from my Incredible S using XDA App
All,
I want to install the WWE_2.30.405.1 OTA upgrade that arrived yesterday but when I tried, it failed, so I need some help.
I have an IncS that came with Froyo and which I then upgraded OTA to gingerbread when it arrived.
I later unlocked with AplhaRevX and installed Clockwork Recovery, then rooted by following the great guide in the dev section.
I don't really care about S-OFF, clockwork or root anymore, been there done that, didn't really make much difference to what I want to do with my phone, so if I have to reset to a stock S-On phone with standard recovery etc then thats fine.
Can anyone help?
This is what I tried, but it didn't work...
Last night I got an OTA notification that there was an update, so went ahead and tried the install.
When it rebooted I got a a boot screen with an exclamation mark in a triangle and the Android guy. Then nothing..
After about 20 minutes I decided to take out the battery and reboot, that got me back in and my phone is working now, but without the upgrade, so now I'm here looking for help.
You can upgrade with the RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.30.405.1_Radio_20 .2808.30.085AU_3805.06.03.03_M_release_199308_signed.
Donwload link on the forums.
Thanks, just found the link, but the hosting server is currently down so I can't test. Will post results when I can get the file and know what to do with it.
Some more questions...
The link is in the form of a windows EXE which makes me somewhat nervous.
I've only ever installed andoid rom's via the OTA update process, and so I'm not sure what I should do with this file.
I'll download later and see if I can figure it out, but have you explicitly tried this with the combination I have listed above?
I have a working phone right now so I'm not interested in anything that is untested.
Looking at other threads with the combination I have listed above, but applied in a different order, people have needed to resort to XTC-Clips to recover, I won't be able to do that so I need to fix this in software only.

what you need to do is just to download the latest Ruu v2.30.405.1, connect ur phone to computer, double click the EXE file that you downloaded to run the Ruu program on a winxp/win7, click the confirm or ok button ,then you'll get what you want in about 15mins...remember not to do anything on ur phone or computer during this period.
OK Great. Will do as soon as I can download from filefactory again.
Again though I want to know has anyone tested this process and what will state will my phone be in when it is complete?
Just want a bit of reasurance that someone has actually done this with an AlpharevX S-Off phone and clockwork recovery installed.

Those that were able to download the 2.30 RUU before the file server went down have reported that after upgrading to 2.30 AlphaRevX is no longer able to successfully run and S-OFF this version even though the HBOOT loader appears to be identical to the 2.12 RUU. If you currently have S-OFF and wish to retain it, then you shouldn't install the 2.30 RUU. You should wait for someone to build a rooted version of this ROM.
Or S-OFF with old rom, install ARHD 1.1.0 (2.30.405.1 based) and after the radio .06.03.03_M.
This is the right way.

OK Thanks.
Do you have a link to someone 'reporting' that they tried the RUU on a phone with AlphaRevX S-Off and Clockwork?
Not worried about losing my S-Off status or root, I want my phone to be able to take OTA updates again, in fact if I could restore to the state it was in before I unlocked, then that would be best of all.
Also anyone willing to post a copy of the RUU somewhere else for download, cos the filefactory link still seems to be down.

Here is a thread that discusses flashing the RUU and the attempts of AlphaRevX:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153871
OK That thread is all about how it didn't work, and the download site is still broken, so I'm not going to try anything for now.
I'll be away with work next week and need my phone to work, so I'll look in again when I get back and see if anything has changed.
Thanks for all your help anyway, I don't think this thread actually got even close to answering my question, but at least you tried.
If I try flashingthe RUU file then I'll be sure to let you know how it turned out.
Bye for now.

The point of mentioning that thread was that these users had previously used AlphaRevX to gain S-OFF and when they installed the 2.30 RUU and they lost root and S-OFF and they are now attempting to get S-OFF back which is the part that is failing.
OK So I'm back from my trip and today I had a chance to play with this a bit.
I downloaded this RUU http://api.viglink.com/api/click?format=go&drKey=1359&loc=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.xda-developers.com%2Fshowthread.php%3Ft%3D1033922&v=1&libid=1310921120143&out=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.filefactory.com%2Ffile%2Fcc2d60f%2Fn%2FRUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.30.405.1_Radio_20.2808.30.085AU_3805.06.03.03_M_release_199308_signed.exe&title=%5BROMs%5DIncredible%20S%20Shipped%20ROMs%20Collection%20-%20xda-developers&txt=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.filefactory.com%2Ffile%2Fcc2d...308_signed.exe and tested an install.
I got what I wanted more or less, I have the update and all looks good..
However for those of you following from home, these are the trade-offs.
All data on my phone was erased. I had an 'out of box' experience when I booted the phone.
I lost S-Off status
I Lost root
I seem to have a corrupt recovery partition. (When I select recovery from the boot menu it hangs at a screen with a red triangle and an exclamation mark. Only way to boot the phone after that is to remove the battery and re-insert).
4 in particular bothers me a bit, as I'm not sure how to recover that and I'm not sure if I may need it in future. If you remember, what I originally wanted was to be able to get OTA updates in future, from reading around, I don't think that will be possible with a corrupt recovery image, so any tips on fixing that would be great.
Just download the latest or if you wanna keep s off a previous RUU from your carrier. And run the program it will return the phone to stalk
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA Premium App
Hmm, thats what I think I've done.
My device is not tied to a carrier, so the WWE RUU Should have been the right one.
I have now also tried using fastboot to flash the recovery, but I get the following error
C:\Phone\>fastboot.exe flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (3658 KB)... OKAY
writing 'recovery'... INFOsignature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
I tried with an older recovery from WWE 212 as well, but got the same error. Don't really know where to go next, but any help gladly recieved.

That's not corrupt, that's what happens on stock
Ahh OK, if that is normal then how do I test that my recovery partition is good? I don't want to get buggered when the next OTA comes along.
HTC has provided official tool to unlock Salsa bootloader, available at http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/
Go to the website, sign up (if you havent done so), select Your device, Follow the instructions, and enjoy
Note : HBOOT update is required.
mate, let me know what is your RUU before doing the unlock. which part of download section did you take. Because mine, i got none. But i just continued to the fastboot oec, and simply send the code, and voila, its ***unlocked***
so i just wonder, why hboot updated is required since first, i dont get the update even i check it again and again, and second, it still can be unlocked without updating the firmware.

i didnt try it, i just posted the news...
but now i tried and couldnt update the hboot because i am on 1.12.720.3 and it says i need 1.12.720.5, i cant find the update anywhere.. so i just went on and tried the 'fastboot oem get_identifier_token' but i got a command error... i tried 'fastboot oem ?' but the command list didnt include 'get_identifier_token'
how did you do it?? which RUU are you on??
tried this, failed to update hboot, rom image error. basically im unable to update this hboot version.
this is the problem im having all round, i cannot update or revert from this chinese rom im using.
as for the fastboot, no point as i cannot get past stage one lol
why dont you try fastboot?? you might get lucky, kanded said he did it without updating... or is it that HTC is just bullsh**ing everyone bye saying it can be unlocked, but not providing the necessary updates for unlocking??

don't know,
i do know u have to have all sdk parts installed as im unsure what it needs to run with, that took 2 hrs getting it all.
ive tried again, even skipping to fastboot, still nothing.
but ive already tampered with mine, already has cwm installed, s-off and rooted, with chinese uk o2 rom installed......so i wonder if he's using standard issue rom from scratch, but either way, it may not work on all salsa handsets.
but keep trying if you want. the option to send it us is still there!
man, i want to clarify.
the first time i bought this salsa, it is hTC Asia WWE, with S-ON of course.
there is no English language. fu** with it, so i tried to change into RUU O2 UK, by making my sdcard as a goldcard, and put the RUU files onto it.
Here i tell you the way, the RUU files is exe, right ? You can directly flash it as long as you got goldcard (its not hard to make it, everybody knows that)
Or, if that fail, there is still a way updating the stock rom with RUU. Install the exe, while its popping up in ur windows, open task manager, and you see RUU instalshield wizard is running, right ? now go to process, and see Aruwizard.exe
properties that aruwizard.exe, and open file location. you will see there is a zip "rom.zim"
rename that rom zip into PH11IMG.zip and put it into your sdcard that has been as a goldcard. now do the hboot, it will do the recovery itself. let me know if it works.
after that, go to htcdev, and then next step, no need to download for upgrading, bla bla bla, i got my bin_unlock by emails twice. hahaha.
get helped ? say thanks
---------- Post added at 07:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:08 AM ----------
its for you bigbear, i read in any thread that you got problem with your rom right now, that you wanna go back to your stock from that chinese one rom, confirm me if im right.
you may try the way i've said above.
you know of course i also flash that custom rom you post, but i can get back to my before rom.
this is that we must be carefull. if you wanna get back to the last rom you have, you gotta do backup via recovery. there is a backup and restore section. do the backup, and save your backup (it is in clockwordmod folder) in the safest place.
lets say you wanna get back, just do the restore, and voila, you are in your home sweet home. no problemo at all altough you got big headache because of flashing the wrong rom
this is the way :
1) Format SD card as Fat32
2) Install HTC Sync Drivers. (available at htc.com)
3)Connect Your phone to PC. USB Debugging must on and usb connection type: Only Charging.)
4) Open SimpleGoldCard Tool as a admin
and follow procedure step by step at SimpleGoldcard tool.
works now, thanks to kanded and 0x.shivam.x0

How did you get a custom rom running on your phone? I can't root my phone because I don't have access to the clip. Is there any other method?
By going to htcdev and getting my bootloader unlocked. From there its plain sailing

Yeah i know how to do that. Got my incredible s rooted juwt like that. Rather i installed cm7 and then it got rooted. Do you have any link on hiw to proceed after unlocking the boot loader? Oh and could i have a list of roms for the salsa? Thanks in advance.

Alright thanks man. Appreciated. And good stuff with the site. Lastly, would you happen to know what language should i learn to write a kernel and for a rom?
And yes i pressed the thanks button
To learn kernels and Roms its best to use Ubuntu Linux. And I found finding a Dev that could teach u what u need, I'm still learning but my Ubuntu is offline so I've not progressed any further yet.

Tried it and its working fine. Thanks to BigBearEvo's site. i could easily flash a 3.5 rom
I flashed Revolution HD, the latest version and when the phone re-booted it went to bootloader.
I managed to flash TWRP again and im in there, however I need to put a ROM on the phone and cant copy one on there
any ideas? adb says device not found, not sure if im doing something wrong
try fastboot devices
You can try this to sideload a rom.

I have re-locked, and am running RUU now, if this doesn't work what shall I do?
Okay the RUU worked fine. Thanks for the help guys!
Latest versions on intl. roms are 4.2.2. They won't work on sprint. Since there is no sprint support the updater script wipes our radio and boot partition because they have a different partition table than we do. It's just f.y.I so you know what went wrong

Maybe its just me being crazy, but I assumed anything later would work, to me that sounded like everything below 9.4 would not.
Diddo
The exact thing happened to me!!! the ARHD posts are very misleading!! I also had to do a RUU on it.. it made me made cause i really wanted that rom. Have you found any other ROM with 4.2.2 that will work with sprint htc one? I cant find anything.

Hello all,
I'm sorry to interrupt you all, but this is rather important!
I tried to root my girlfriends Velocity 4G which she got with her contract with A1 (austrian carrier).
I already flashed a One S and knew of the complications a root for HTC could bring.
So I tried to get everything together before flashing and then I did it...
Got the bootloader unlocked, installed TWRP and flashed sun_dreams rom.
Don't worry, I wiped all clean and think I did it the right way (already flashed 4 other phones, but samsungs').
But I seem to have missed something as I got in a neverending bootanimation (white background with green htc logo).
I know, that you sometimes have to wait a few minutes, but after about 5 minutes or so, I thought I was stuck on boot loop.
So I rebooted, flashed it again and rebooted and nothing changed.
I then read about the boot.img... So I extracted the boot.img and did a full wipe, then installed it, after that the rom and then (just to be safe) three times again the boot.img.
Rebooted and now I got the reboot loop (white background with green logo, then black, then white background again and so on)
I tried everything and as I was about to give up, read about the final solution: the RUU or PH39IMG.zip.
Now the problem is: I cant get either of them to work. At all. When trying to flash the RUU (with bootloader relocked), the programm says: "ERROR 170: No device connected".
I read about some other people having the same problem, so I tried the solution given to them: go to the first screen, then to your temp data, extract the rom.zip, rename it and flash that one, via putting it on the external sd and booting into bootloader.
Didn't work either: Wrong CID. Same for all RUUs I could find even closely related to my phone.
As I couldn't find the real correct RUU, I tried to cheat and use the goldcard to overgo the cid-problem.
Because I couldn't boot up the Velocity 4G I tried to make one with my own Galaxy S2, which worked.
Seems to be the wrong way, since it's the wrong CID anyways, when trying to install the PH39IMG (still all RUUs say ERROR 170).
I might need to mention I didn't do the S-OFF thing, as I didn#t want to mess with the hardware... Is that necessary for my problem to getting fixed?
Maybe I just need the one correct RUU for my model, but I can't find it anywhere!
please help me somebody, as I feel very guilty because of wrecking my girlfriends phone! :crying:
any help is appreciated!!!
greetings

OK... Vodafone is still on gingerbread...
Soooo... You need a gingerbread ROM... And a gingerbread boot.img... Then get it to boot...
After that I would s-off, super cid, get to ICS hboot... Then flash the ROM of your choice

RUU_HOLIDAY_SENSE3_5_Vodafone_DE_2.38.162.1_Radio_3.02.4740.09_34.20.701040.19_release_241518_signed
But this one won't work either...
What complicates the search, is that this phone goes by so many different names (vivid, velocity, holiday, raider, etc...)
Should I post a getvar all?
Concerning your further steps: I would be very happy to get it to run at all, maybe then think of reflashing something.
I don't know if I manage that s-off thing and I don't want to hard brick it and give it the final punch...
anyways, thanks for the fast response!
Can you get the ph39img from it?

I already did that with all the RUUs I found, but none worked...
EDIT: so I tried a solution offered by another poster in another forum which said to install CM10 on a clean wipe.
did that and it booted in the cm boot screen and loads the "first install wizard"... well, at least to the language selection screen, then it freezes and reboots again.
but at least we bought us some time at the start.

Its because of a wrong hboot...
It will happen with all of the ICS+ ROMs...
I wish you hadn't relocked your bootloader...
Can you reunlock...
Iirc there is a thread with hboot updated... Maybe try that... Or download the Wcxroot thingy and flash the juopenut hboot...

so, you're basically saying i might be able to get it to work without any RUUs or PH39IMGs?
Wow, that would be good news at last.
I already reunlocked before i flashed the CM10 rom and i didn't forget to flash the boot.img afterwards and even went back again to recovery to wipe cache and dalvik and fixed permissions.
Which one should i try?
thank you for your help!! :good:
is updating the hboot even possible without s-off?
so it seems i have to obtain s-off to flash anything else than stock rom...
as far as i read you have to be on stock ruu to obtain s-off, is that correct?
because that would be bad, as i don't have the stock ruu for my phone.
is it possible to acquire s-off without being on stock rom and would it be possible with the state my phone is in?

i already wrote a pm. do you have any ideas left? maybe try and install a gb rom and then try that ruu again?
ps: i did manage to start the ruu.exe (by reinstalling the htc sync) and it stopped with the error 131. installing the rom.zip (or PH39IMG.zip) still won't work as it says customer id check failed...

Okay, so I did manage to fix it, as it seems... :laugh:
This is what I did:
1. reunlocked bootloader
2. installed TWRP and booted into recovery
3. mounted the internal SD as mass storage
4. copied over VJRaiders GB rom
5. did a full wipe
6. installed VJRaiders rom
7. rebooted into bootloader
8. fastboot flashed the kernel found in the rom thread (twice)
9. rebooted and it worked...
I don't know how and why, but the problem seemed to be that I always tried to flash non-GB roms. As simple as that.
I have no idea why the RUU and PH39IMG didn't work tho...
Well. I won't touch that thing for a looong time, as it works and I had enough problems getting there!
The reason that you had problems with ics and upward roms is because your phone still has the gb hboot. This is because boss never released the ics update. To install ics roms you need the ics hboot.

Which I'm only able to attain with s-off, am I right?
Correct, I believe. If you didn't get an official update to ICS, you'll have to S-Off. It's honestly not as bad as it sounds, I did mine with some speaker wire...probably the worst part of it is getting the cover off of the section where you have to ground out the point. Just take your time, and make sure you're in a well lit area, with a little bit of working space, and you'll be fine.
well, the problem is, that we are not longer on a stock rom and can't seem to flash the original ruu, as we don't find it anywhere...
and as far as i know it is not recommended or possible to go s-off without being on stock rom!?
AFAIK it is UNTESTED... Not impossible

If this is anything like other HTC devices, i'd say your best shot if you're willing to try an untested idea, would be to give it a shot with a sense rom, as they tend to be (under the hood anyways) a lot closer to stock than non sense roms.
