Help! Tried to recover to stock, now the phone doesn't boot - HTC Incredible S

Hello everyone!
I tried to get back to stock (I have htcdev unlock and hboot 2.01.0001)
RUU doesnt't work.
hboot engineering doesn't flash.
The phone stucks at HTC logo.
I tried several methods... but nothing works for me.
What shall I do?

In order to use an RUU, you need to RELOCK your bootloader and then the RUU will work.

Now the ruu gives error 140 after relocking.

Vivid will not reboot after flash or Juopunut S-off

I was trying to obtain S-off through Juopunut Bear, but after it finds my device and tries to reboot it into its program, it simply doesn't reboot. The phone then will not start at all unless I pull the battery and boot into Hboot. From there I flashed my backup img through fastboot and I was good. I found this thread that said I need to ICS 3.32 firmware. On my phone I noticed I am on Software number 3.26.502.56, so I tried to flash the provided download of 3.32 using fastboot. And it did the same exact thing! Would not reboot, and had to battery-pull and re-flash my backup to get it to work.
What is my problem here?
I am on a unlocked and rooted HTC Vivid running stock ICS and stock Kernel.
I really hope I am not committing a stupid error and wasting everyone's time, but it is possible. Thanks in advance for any help!

If you can get hboot relock the bootloader and run the stock ruu file seems to work for ant errors I've ever gotten , then just go back and redo every thing but s off it should stay off .

Not sure I'm completely understanding you. I need to relock and run stock ruu, then redo everything except s-off? That kind of defeats the purpose, I am trying to s-off

Yes if you are having problems after any mod to the os just relock the bootloader and run the stock ruu file and it will fix the issue , then go back after you got the phone working right and then unlock the bootloader , flash recovery , root , ect .
But the s-off should stay off and you won't have to redo that step .
So basically you will be on a stock ics with s-off
Then just redo the process to get it where you want it .

I'm sorry but this just doesn't make sense, the phone is automatically S-On not S-Off, so it won't 'stay s-off'. You understand what I mean?

did you succeed s-off ?
if you did the s-off procedure via " wire trick " was successful the relocking the boot loader will not change the s-off it will stay off ,
Then relock. Run ruu now you are stock ics with the s-off still , and all the errors should be fixed .
Then just re unlock bl , flash recovery , root , flash New custom Rom / kernel, ect.
All I'm saying is if you have s-off then your good ,
To fix all the errors run the ruu , only reason you need to relock bl is the ruu will reject the install if you are unlocked .

Oh, we are talking past each other. I did not succeed s-off, when it reboots my phone via Control Bear it does not boot into the Juopunut program, and I have never had a chance to do the wire trick! Thanks for the help though.

I had trouble on my first S-OFF attempt. I had made a mistake (I missed one of the S-OFF prep steps in section 2 of the SuperGuide, which is at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416836 ).
If you want to try again?
-If you have relocked your bootloader, flash your phone stock using your appropriate RUU while phone is in Fastboot mode.
*** If you haven't relocked bootloader yet, you can do it first via fastboot ("fastboot oem lock")
-Start at section 1 of the superguide (unlocking the bootloader, yeah it sucks to do the process again but thankfully htc makes it easy!)
-And then you can try S-OFF process again (section 2 in superguide)

Download the ruu from HTC or you should be able to download it from the EVO 3d forum while in fastboot mode hook you phone up to your computer fastboot should change to fastbootusb then double click on the ruu and let it do its thing do not unplug till it is finished then you will be out of box stock

[SOLVED] Dead phone, RUU fails

The recovery is broken, and the rom doesn't boot.
I can enter the recovery, but as soon as I try to wipe data or install a rom, it reboots. I tried "fastboot erase cache", I tried reflashing CWM and TWRP, and I tried ADB Sideload on both, same results.
The only way for me is to run RUU, but the problem is, any RUU that I try says "The ROM Update Utility Cannot update you Android phone. Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.
I am s-off and supercid on hboot 1.55, with the 3.57 firmware. Any ideas on how to get the RUU working? Thanks!

which RUU are using? you probably have to change CID to SuperCID.
also read through this about recovery problems: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2494111
EDIT: also for RUU to work, I believe you need to be locked or relocked.

DO NOT GO S-ON !!
and check CID if it's compatible with the RUU, otherwise change to SuperCID.

I am already super CID, so I think the only issue is with the unlocked boot loader. I'm gonna try to re-lock it now. And thanks again for the warning, I won't go s-on
If you have S-off you don't have to lock your bootloader to run a ruu.

This. I've never had to relock the bootloader to flash an RUU as I'm S-OFF. Just connect the phone in fastboot mode and run the RUU you want to use

If that is the case, could the newer version of the hboot cause the issue? because I'm trying to flash an old RUU. I tried the hTC_Asia_WWE_1.29.707.3, which is for my region, as well as US_WWE_1.29.1540.16 (developer edition) as I'm supercid. both failed

with S-Off it's no problem to downgrade. where did you get the RUU, can you post link.
And what's the exact error you get?

For other RUUs check this site: http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/ruu-file-downloads/
I find HTCdev way too confusing, as it clutters everything together, you can easily download a RUU for "HTC One S" instead of "HTC One" (aka M7)
And since you're S-Off downgrading is no problem

stuck while running 3.04.651.2 ruu.

i wanted to get stock Rom from custom Rom with image version 3.04.651.2 . So I downloaded latest ruu. Which is also 3.04.651.I re-locked boot loader and started ruu
It cleaned user data till 3% then got stuck at sending file.
Then returned error that it can't upgrade this version of ruu.
Now I'm at stuck at the white screen with boot loader , fastboot modes etc option. Custom recovery is gone. I can't unlock it again
I don't have s-off enable.
While erasing data it's on HTC black screen with logo.
Then it says sending . And then it gives error saying it can't update using this ruu. Try another version. I'm lost.:crying:
Please help me please.

Tried running RUU two more times and it worked.
Now I want to figure how to Unlock relocked Bootloader. I think its only possible via S-off.
Now the problem is that ADB is offline mode.. how Do I adb and push the needed files for s-off
I am on windows xp

Update you android sdk/platform tools folder that will fix the offline status
There are no files needing to be pushed to get s-off

Thanks, I got the online status.
Now I am with "Relocked" Bootloader, Hboot 1.55, 4.3 Android.
I read that I cannot get S-off on this built. Therefore I tried Rumrunner. But that is failing too after few reboots.
So what is the way to get Bootloader unlocked. Cannot Unlock via HTC DEV Since its Relocked.
My purpose here to unlock bootloader is ROOT the phone and unlock Sim Lock.

thanks a ton. I swear I tried it thrice before. But I think because of drivers I got error message saying "too Many links"
I tried dev token again and it worked.
Now I have to figure out way to unlock SIM. So far all methods are proving useless after Sprint has decided to screw people with blocking s off and removing api that allowed SIM unlock

Hi guys,
I had back to completely stock my m7 for guarantee 2 weeks ago. Yesterday i tried every possible way to s-off but i can't get it. So i tried run RUU for downgrade OS,hboot etc. relock bootloader. But accidentally RUU removed OS; no main version in getvar, stock recovery, relocked and there is a warning under relocked title it says ''security warning''
Run RUU or flash update.zip,rom.zip,ruu.zip no matter what,I get 'failed: remote signiture verify fail'. Phone does not boot, because no OS, so no adb. Is only way J-tag for ressurrect it

you can not downgrade with s-on!
re-unlock your bootloader, flash a custom recovery and a rom and achieve s-off with sunshine then follow nkk71's guide to return stock (linked in my sig)

Since, you are S-ON with a locked bootloader run this RUU 6.10.531.10. It will put you back at stock, then you can try to unlock you bootloader. To get S-OFF you will need to use Sunshine with your hboot 1.57.
