Problem with HBOOT 1.16.0000

Hi,
I used the procedure here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14693680) to root and install CWM v4.0.1.4 on my Incredible S and while I was trying to flash a custom ROM onto my phone during CWM recovery, I kind of screwed up by wiping everything and not doing Backup.. I've been trying to find the Stock ROM for my phone to at least resume normal phone usage but I have been unable to find any. I've tried installing a lot of Custom ROMs including Cyanogen mod 7.1, Virtuous Quattro rc3, BinDroid RUNMED2.5, RCMix.Energized 2.21, etc, etc but nothing works. I desperately need advice as my phone is super important for my work :\
Please advise!
Btw here's my HBOOT message:

My phone was on Android 2.3.4 and it was on HTC Sense 2.1..

Unlocked bootloader from htcdev.com? Need to know your region/carrier/cid.
Possible fix could be flashing boot.img from custom rom.zip in fastboot.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

I'm not sure how to find out my region. I bought this phone 2nd-hand so I'm not sure about the specific details. I have the box and it says it's made in Taiwan. Do I provide the IMEI, S/N or P/N?
Sorry but what's a boot.img? :|

EDIT:
I tried copying the boot.img from Cyanogen Mod 7.1.0 (File name: update-cm-7.1.0-RC1-IncS-signed) into C:/, then I typed "fastboot flash boot boot.img" into cmd after I 'cd' into C:/
Message:
C:\Android>fastboot flash boot boot.img
< waiting for device >
sending 'boot' (2178 KB)... OKAY [ 0.770s]
writing 'boot'... OKAY [ 0.598s]
finished. total time: 1.369s
Rebooting does nothing..
So I wiped (data/cache/Dalvik cache) and flashed the CM7.1.0 mod and now it works!! Amazing.. I spent 8 hours working previously and nothing worked. I shall try it on my real desired ROM later.
THANKS A LOT!

Ok so if you were able to follow the procedure you quoted to install CWM, then you have adb and fastboot installed on your PC, so reboot the phone into FASTBOOT USB mode and then enter the following command and then post the results:
fastboot getvar all
Also was your HBOOT 1.16 S-Off or simply UNLOCKED before you flashed CWM?

Hi! Thanks for your input. Somehow the CM7.1.0 Mod was successfully flashed after I flashed the boot.img. No idea why though.. I am still on S-ON though, unlocked via HTCdev yeap..
Btw since I'm on the topic of custom ROMs on HBOOT 1.16.0000 with S-ON yet flashable, is it safe to say I can use the other ROMs that are available out there?

Yes, but you will have to manually flash the boot.img file from each custom ROM's zip file with the unlocked bootloader.

[Q] Revert to stock

Not sure if I am in the right place to ask this question, well, i'll ask anyway.
I unlocked my bootloader using Revolutionary. I now need to revert to stock for warranty. I downloaded the INDIA RUU from goo manager.
I managed to replace the Revolutionary HBOOT by changing mainver. However, my radio is not getting replaced, no matter what I try. As a result, my phone bootloops though the RUU install was successful. So I had to revert to Revolutionary by installing WWE ASIA RUU. This was successful because the Radios are the same ie 3805.04.03.27_M.
I am currently on
HBOOT - 6.13.1002
Radio-3805.04.03.27_M
How can I go back to HBOOT 1.13 and Radio 38.02.01.11_M?

HBOOT - 6.13.1002 is still Revolutionary HBOOT?
I think that this is the easiest way to get stock bootloader and rom back. You need to find the latest WWE ASIA RUU for that.
Is that this one: RUU_VIVO_SENSE30_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_3.09.707.1_Radio_20.4802.30.0822U_3822.10.08.28_M_release_226940_signed.exe ?
If you have the latest RUU succesfully installed including the HBOOT, you're OK.

thanks for the reply...but i don't think i explained my problem properly.
I first downloaded PG32IMG_Vivo_hTC_Asia_India_1.36.720.1_Radio_Radio_20.23.30.0802U_38.02.01.11_M_release_172022_signed.zip from Goo Manager. This is India RUU, but Froyo. This was what was installed on my phone first.
I first changed the mainver and renamed this RUU to PG32IMG.zip and let the bootloader install it. The HBOOT flashed perfectly, so my HBOOT became 1.09 but my radio was stuck at the same. This led the phone to bootloop because of incompatible radios.
So i tried extracting radio.img from PG32IMG_Vivo_hTC_Asia_India_1.36.720.1_Radio_Radio_20.23.30.0802U_38.02.01.11_M_release_172022_signed.zip and renamed to PG32IMG.zip and bootloader flash it. But it does not flash. My question is how do I replace the current radio with 38.02.01.11_M? The current radio is 3805.04.03.27_M.

If you currently have a GB ROM on your phone you also have a GB radio. If you attempt to flash the Froyo RUU you have downloaded, you are going to brick your phone because you cannot flash an older Froyo radio over a GB radio. This is a sure way to brick your phone.

yeah, you are right...i now remember that this will brick my phone, a risk not worth taking.

just a quick question, my phone is factory unlocked (the user I bought if from bought it on amazon.de) and currently I have an ICS rom with ICS radio, can I flash the GB RUU and then update to oficial ICS?
Do I still have to make goldcards and stuff?

With Revolutionary S-OFF, the RUU will not successfully overwrite the HBOOT and you will end up with a phone that won't boot past the HTC screen.
You would need to follow this procedure to allow the GB RUU to run successfully:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15732727&postcount=14
This would leave you with a stock, unrooted phone. You woud be able to use HTCDEV.com to ulock the bootloader so you could root, but you are much better off staying S-OFF and using custom ICS ROMs.

"fastboot flash hboot rom.zip"
it says:
cannot load 'rom.zip'
and the same if I try the vivo_downgrade.img
But if I do fastboot reboot-bootloader
It works..any suggestions?
exnerjan said:
This procedure is tested only AplhaRevX.
1. Install RUU ROM from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1033922
2. Downgrade HBOOT
2a. download this file: http://alpharev.nl/vivo_downgrade.img
2aa. Connect your phone to the USB
2b.Turn your phone into FastBoot not to HBOOT!!! (VOL DOWN + POWER Button)
2c. Install over fastboot: cmd: "fastboot flash hboot vivo_downgrade.img" (you must install sdk tools)
2d. still fastboot cmd: fastboot reboot-bootloader
3. Start Installation RUU ROM, but DON´T INSTALL !!!!
3a. go tu C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Temp and at last folder find rom.zip
3b. open it, and copy tu folder sdk hboot and instal the same as step 2c.

Make sure that you have vivo_downgrade.img in the same folder where you run fastboot from.
Also, you cannot flash a ROM.zip file using the command fastboot flash hboot.

So I do I do?
edit:
Just found it:
6. Rename this "rom.zip" file to "PG32IMG.zip"
7. Now take your SD card from Phone and connect it to your PC using a card reader or some other phone.
8. Paste that renamed "PG32IMG.zip" at the root of your SD Card.
9. Now power off your phone. Pull out the battery.
10. Insert the SD Card back in the phone. Insert the battery.
11. Now hold your volume down key and press power button. Keep the volume down key pressed. It will start your phone in boot-loader menu.
12. Select FASTBOOT if its not already selected and press power button.
13. It will search your SD Card for files and will find "PG32IMG.zip" file and will ask if you want to update.
14. Press the volume up button as instructed to continue and then sit back and relax.
Once finished it will ask you to reboot. Once rebooted, you'll be back on stock ROM with S-On.

The only way is to load a stock RUU/ROM that has bootloader 1.13. If you have a ROM that uses HBOOT 2.00-2.02 then it will always show RELOCKED or UNLOCKED.

[Q] Disaster Recovery , Bricked HTC One

Hey guys I badly need help!!! I was able to convert my HTC One GSM to Google Edition just last week, but today I want to restore it to its factory ROM so I can also restore the warranty. Now the problem became visible when I tried to flash a stock ROM (not the GPE ROM). Listed below are the problems I am facing at the moment:
1. Stuck in FASTBOOT USB, and cannot boot to ROM.
2. Can't boot to recovery. Everytime I highlight and select recovery the phone just shows up the "Google" logo, then vibrates, then back fastboot USB.
3. Factory Reset not working, again shows up "Google" then restarts to fastboot usb mode.
4. I ran cmd in sdk-tools, typed in "fastboot devices", and my phone is detected. But when I type "adb devices", my phone is not listed.
5. I tried flashing CWM or TWRP through fastboot in cmd but the reply is"remote: signature verify fail", as wellas flashing a RUU for my device.
6. On bootloader is written:
*** TAMPERED ***
*** RELOCKED ***

Guys I really badly need help to fix my phone. I don't wanna spend for repairs or throw it in the garbage. I am very sure there's a way to fix this and get it to work, but I am rookie in android as I've been an iOs user for a couple of years.

[Q] S-On and unable to reflash stock rom

Hi. I have been searching for two days on how to restore my phone to a stock Rom. I flashed some lame Rom that I can't remember the name of (has a blue firebird boot screen...) and now that's the only Rom I can flash. I tried many rims but haven't had any luck. I know the lame Rom I flashed made me first flash a boot image. I trtried reflashing a stock boot image but it doesn't help. The stock roms succeed but stay stuck on the lock screen totally unresponsive except for the power button to hard reset... I'm trying to get S-Off with FireWire but it fails saying that it cannot s-Off my device. Cannot RUU since I'm s-on and have no clue what to do.
The boot loader reads that the O.S. is version 4.19.531.10 but I currently have no O.S. installed since I wiped.
The boot loader is version 1.56 and it's a T-Mobile USA version.
ADB Sideload works but the install is faulty as described.
Thanks.

update your recovery to 2.6.3.3 and flash your rom again.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
you can also use the latest RUU.exe which will restore your phone back to stock and updated to the latest version. (better option imo)
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_..._10-33e-1718-01l_release_387953_signed_2-exe/

I'm going to try to update the recovery first because when I try to relock the bootloader even after flashing stock recovery it just boots to the bootloader even with a rom installed. (Even if its the erroring stock rom)

Okay well I'm having no luck. Trying to flash the RUU wont work and updating the recovery didn't work. The ruu just hangs at 5% Checking headers. I tried extracting the rom.zip from the ruu but I get the invalid size crap and when trying to open the rom.zip it gives me an invalid error. I don't know what to do here.

Let try this using the version just above your base version:
Download, rename to firmware.zip and place in your adb/fastboot folder: firmware 5.14.531.1
Boot into bootloader/FASTBOOT USB
Type:
Code:
[B][I]fastboot oem lock[/I][/B]
Type:
Code:
[B][I]fastboot oem rebootRUU [/I][/B]
NOTE: You should see a silver HTC logo come up on your phone after executing this command.
NOTE: if this command freezes, just disconnect the USB cable and hold the power and volume down buttons until the device reboots. Then, repeat the steps above again.
Finally:
Code:
[B][I]fastboot flash zip firmware.zip[/I][/B]
Repeat the same command: IMPORTANT
Code:
[B][I]fastboot flash zip firmware.zip[/I][/B]
NOTE: The green bar on the phone may not go to 100% of the bar ... but If you see completed on your computer command window, wait for a few seconds and move on.
Last Step:
Code:
[B][I]fastboot reboot[/I][/B]

Now run this RUU 5.14.531.1
If this is successful you can try to achieve S-OFF with firewater. Of course, you will need to unlock your bootloader and install TWRP 2.6.3.3 recovery. Or, you can retry the RUU in alray's post.

[Q] Help! im screwed...

Hi guys i got an htc one in placw of my samsung grand
I managed to unlock the bootloader using cmd and tried flashing a recovery. However after the flash when i try booting into recovery mode from bootloader, it first gives the entering recovery screen but then screen blacks out and then it reboots as normal.
Now htc just got a lollipop update and i want to update, but when it enters recovery, it blacks out and then reboots as normal due to the fail recovery
Before i tried flashing each and every reocvery and the same happened... Then i just left it at a version of cwm ( didnt work also) .
Now shall i flash stock recovery? What if that dosent work? Is there any way to do it without a pc or any other computer?

I managed to unlock the bootloader using cmd and tried flashing a recovery. However after the flash when i try booting into recovery mode from bootloader, it first gives the entering recovery screen but then screen blacks out and then it reboots as normal.
Now htc just got a lollipop update and i want to update, but when it enters recovery, it blacks out and then reboots as normal due to the fail recovery
Before i tried flashing each and every reocvery and the same happened... Then i just left it at a version of cwm ( didnt work also) .
Now shall i flash stock recovery? What if that dosent work? Is there any way to do it without a pc or any other computer?

no .. you will need a PC to restore stock recovery / or RUU back to stock

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
I tried RUU, turns out theres no file for my cid (HTC_039).
I also tried alternate methods, turns out i cant use Guru reset as i need functioning recovery, and i have S-ON so no Nand.
pl help.

Did you use the correct version of the recovery you flashed? I mean are you sure it wasn't a Sprint or Verizon recovery?
Secondly did you fastboot erase cache after flashing recovery?. This is the no.1 reason for recovery bootloop. Flashing recovery should be done like so.
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery "name-of-recovery".img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then select recovery from the bootloader for the first time load.

Yes there is one. 7.19.980.5 posted in the general section

see post #2.
If your phone is already on a 6.xx.980.x or 7.xx.980.x firmware you can flash it.

To find your firmware version it's best to use command
Code:
fastboot getvar all
this will show you a list of your devices version information.
You can post the list here if you need help but please remove your imei and serial number before posting for your own security.
There are 3 models of HTC One.
Sprint = m7_wls Downloads here http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7wls
Verizion = m7_vzw Downloads here http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7vzw
International = m7_ul or m7_u Downloads here http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7
There are also more model numbers for dual sim variants.
You must have the correct version of recovery depending on your model. The getvar info would be very helpful for me to make a recommendation :good:
