Ok I hope I am in the right section. I have literally tried everything on this forum to return my wife's vivid to stock. The ruu doesn't work it says it's the wrong one, except it's not !!! her phone says vivid in the settings menu but is being reported as holiday in hboot unlocked s-on. I am on windows 8 and none of the fastboot or adb drivers will recognize the device, I even disable driver signing and fastboot will still not recognize it.
The phone has been acting wonky and I want to warranty it. I don't have access to recovery even though I've flashed them multiple times with cwm and goomanager. All I can do is boot into bootloader or boot into android, recovery hangs on htc white screen. phone will not charge when it's off?!?!?! WTF I'm stuck.
all the recovery PH39IMG.zip i can find point to the same file that was on this forum and has been deleted, so i can't try that.
please read my details before you snark me to death.
Thanks

i'm kind of a newb so i probably shouldnt be giving advice but how else am i supposed to get 10 posts :B firstly the issue i see is that you are using Windows 8 which to my knowledge isnt supported by HTC.. so there are no drivers for it.. if that has changed and for some reason you are just having issues with the newly released drivers then ignore me haha.. when i was having issues rebooting into recovery i just reflashed the ones that come with the AIO tool.. because i know for sure those work.. i've used both of them and the only recovery that didnt work was the ONE that i tried that didnt come with the AIO..

Yeah I tried that and hboot says it's an older version and then makes me reboot. does anybody have a ph39img.zip of the stock ICS recovery for at&t ????
I was able to install VMware on ubuntu and install windows xp inside of it. I got one of the all in one tools to recognize the phone and reboot it into fastboot however now when I try to flash a recover it hangs at writing recovery. Does anybody know how to either fix this or brick the phone worse so I can warranty it?
ubuntu usb?
Maybe try making a bootable ubuntu usb stick and install the android sdk on it, then acsess the phone from there?
I tried fastboot and adb in Linux and the recovery won't write, it copies over but it won't write.
Is there a way to modify the ics ph39img.zip to trick hboot into thinking is a newer version so it won't halt the update?

hey guys,
thanks for the post and the info. I am hoping I can get some help. I recently upgraded to a new ATT - HTC Vivid. I guess I was impatient in wanting to root and flash ROM so I used the [TOOL] HTC Vivid All-In-One Toolkit V2.2 to "un-lock bootloader" and get root. Afterwards I realized the phone had/has old software/rom (no ICS beats audio etc) - I tried updating the software manually and it would not take - kept getting error messege. Then I got notification that ATT/HTC was trying to "push" the update to my phone but when I tried to install the update it would not work. I keep getting what looks like a dead android with chest open with red exclamation point. I tried a few times and still nothing. so after some research I came across this thread. I am still a "noob" at this I guess so I could really use some help, please. I believe I have to "re-lock bootlaoder" but I am confused as to how to go about this. for example, how do you, "TRY FLASHING THE WCXRECOVERY.IMG USING FASTBOOT FIRST?" - please help! lol like I said - I'm still a noob I guess
I tried the video but it only further confused me

please help!!!! I really need it. I tried using your tutorial to re-lock my Vivid and update ROM to ICS. I got through the first part where I re-locked the phone ut when I got to the part to "unlock" again before flashing recovery I get the "Unlock bootloader" screen and I use volume button to select yes and hit power button but that's it - it's stuck at that scree and will not go further. now my phone won't start normally if I try etc and I even got a red exclamation etc - Please help, I dont know what I did wrong but now I have no phone!!!!!
Thanks a bunch for any and all help
This should probably be in the General forum, not development...
If you pull your battery, then put it back in, then hold VOLDOWN button and the POWER button, do you get into Bootloader mode?
If you can, choose Fastboot mode, and then connect your phone to the PC. (I'm assuming you have the right driver(s) installed so you can issue Fastboot commands to the phone?)
If you've gotten that far, and want to re-lock your bootloader using fastboot, the fastboot command is:
"fastboot oem lock"
Run that in a command prompt window. Make sure you have navigated to the folder that has fastboot.exe, of course. Are you familiar with using command prompt?
Once your bootloader is relocked, you can re-start your phone into bootloader mode, and then flash your stock carrier's RUU using your PC... I hope this helps.

thanks a bunch!!! I'm still a "noob" I guess and I will re-post in General. In the meantime, I can get into Bootloader mode but I am already "Relocked" - from what I understand at this point I was supposed to "Unlock" again and flash recovery using "unlock bin" but at the unlock bootloader screen on my phone after I select yes and press power button nothing happens. my phone freezes at that ponit. I dont know what to do now. any help is greatly appreciated.

I wonder (since you are already re-locked), if you should consider flashing your phones stock RUU (so the phone will be back to stock).
Then unlock your bootloader via HTCDEV again...
Then you can flash a custom recovery, then you can do a nandroid backup of your phone... then you can do your wipes and install a rom?
thanks again for responding, much appreciated. I wish I knew how to flash back to stock. I'm at a loss or stuck right now.I just found the stock RUU and I'm trying to download it but once I get it how do I flash it back to stock? That is actually what Ive been trying to do. You see I recently upgraded to the Vivid and "unlocked bootloader" and "rooted" before I realized I had old software (no ICS - beats audio etc). So after some research I read that I had to "re-lock" so that is what I was trying to do before I got stuck. what do you think I should do fromhere? I'd really like to at least get my phone working again with stock even, just working.
thanks again,
Rafael

OK. So since you are relocked, you should be able to flash your stock RUU.
The RUU is an EXE file. Just run it on your PC (with your phone, in fastboot mode, connected to the PC). It will detect the phone and perform the flashes and when it's finished, your phone will be like stock again.
Yeah...just use ruu like you would any other pc program...it will walk you through the steps in the program...
As for beats...I had beats audio on stock gingerbread? Confused why you don't...I only had gingerbread for a couple days before upgrading but I remember seeing the beats icon in notification...

I tried what you said and I got an error message (error 104) and it would not update/flash the ROM. I am stuck.
and when my phone restarted I ended up with the red exclamation point in a triangle again. any more ideas? I hope I did not "brick" my phone.

What is the exact file name of the RUU you are using?
Also, when your phone was working, what was the stock base that it had? Was it Gingerbread? or ICS?
From a quick google search, it seems Error 104 is "wrong hboot version". Interesting... I remember mine said that when I was trying to flash the old GB on my phone which had already been upgraded to ICS.

I tried the old ATT RUU without ICS which is what I had originally and it did not take. I got an error message (error 104). I also did not have beats audio surprisingly enough when I first got the phone which is how I realized I did not have the new/current ATT ROM ICS.

thanks guys
We really need a mod to move this to the "Q&A" section...
Anyways assuming your on completely stock gingerbread you can call this number *#*#682#*#* that will do a force update...vant be root tho, and can't have an unlocked bootloader
Edit...discard this post just read above about the red exclamation mark...can you still get to hboot? If you can...can you verify that it says "re-locked" at the top?

Do this ^^^
All that you need to do it boot n hboot then select fast boot and when you plug it in the pc it should say USB next to fast boot then just run the ruu file and it should hook you up with stock ics

I tried running the RUU and it got stuck at 34% for a while. I unplugged the phone to attempt running the RUU again and now all I can get is black screen with HTC and 4 exclamation points in the corners of the screen - please help!!!
please dont tell me I "bricked" my phone.
Can you still get into hboot ? I wouldn't unplug the phone while its doing stuff I had that issue and just stopped the program and tried again , it takes some time to finish approximately 10 min so just let it do its thing . Just fyi

The exclamation marks are a failed ruu...try running the ruu again...it should still work (I think) if not then try pulling the battery and trying again...
Yeah...next time do not pull the plug, I'm sure its still saveable tho..I've had failed ruu flashes before and it mentions something about exclamation marks in the corners, so Im pretty sure the ruu has a fix for it...if I get time ill see if I can get that info from a ruu...

i have a sprint htc one.
i unlocked the bootloader via htcdev site.
then flashed latest twrp (v2.6.3.0, clockwork wouldn't flash)
flashed latest supersu.
then obtained s-off through xda (hboot 1.55 before then 1.44 after. maybe did something wrong?)
having issues with "no sim card - 4g lte will not work as sim/uicc is removed. please insert sprint sim/uicc into the device"
tried to relock it so i cant take it in to get that fixed.
did the adb oem lock thing to obtain 'tampered' 'relocked'
tried to flash RUU 1.something.7 and 1.something.10
the RUU 1.something.10 wouldn't even try to go
then the RUU 1.something.7 (also it said current image was 3.something but i couldn't find a RUU for 3.something) tried and failed in the middle
since that failure my phone isn't recognized while in fastboot, but works to access all the files on it
so i'm stuck on s-off hboot 1.44 'tampered' 'relocked' but my supersu seems to still function ok (titanium backup works) and i can still boot into recovery twrp.
my short term goal is to get back to 100% stock to get my simcard issue resolved through sprint or htc or whatever, i don't know what that's about.
my long term goal is to have my 4g working/simcard thing fixed running a custom rom. ie cyanogenmod or something 4.4 kitkat.
any help would be awesome, thank you guys!
Just an FYI, 100% stock is not needed to have Sprint look at it. You can have an unlocked/tampered bootloader and custom recovery and still be within Sprint's S&R policy for warranty issues. However, your ROM must be stock (can still be rooted) so that the technicians are not faced with issues potentially related to poor/incompatible ROM development and code. Essentially, the Sprint tech will want to do a hard reset on the device, and it will need to appear to be stock after the reset so that they can rule out the software causing the issue. If they give you any hassle about the root, tell them to check their M&Ps.
Grab a Stock Rooted ROM and try to flash in recovery, see if that works.
sorry, guess i left out that i been to sprint once for this already, and they said they fixed it yet it came back only 2 days later. but in between those 2 days is when i did all the rooting supersu and s-off cause i thought i was done with them for now. i thought that since the problem was persisting that they might have to check with or send to htc and then they would see it unlocked and rooted etc.
anyway, i haven't actually flashed any roms yet so i should still be stock + rooted. but i'll do as you suggested.
thank you!
Are you on Windows 8 or 8.1?
I'm running windows 8.1. i've been able to work on the phone with windows 8.1 until just recently with the problem i described. also i just flashed a stock rooted rom for 3.04.651.2 (first link in second post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2467607 )
my phone is near dead so i'm charging now before i try testing fastboot again.
also, was there a known issue using windows 8.1? when my phone stopped responding in fastboot i noticed that i couldn't get the htc sync thing to open anymore either. but ican still access data on phone from pc normally.
edit: still getting devices not recognized when i plug my phone in while in fastboot =\
When running and RUU from 3.04 to an older version you will have issues right now with fastboot after the RUU reboots the device into RUU mode. If you go from 3.04 to 3.04 then you will have no issues whatsoever, trust me. I have had the same issues but fixed them by thanking the people who hooked us up with the 3.04 RUU link.

Also, one more thing. In order for you to get fastboot working again you just need to uninstall forms of anything HTC as far as drivers and sync. No need to reinstall fastboot and adb add-ons from SDK though. Once you do this you will be golden but dont forget to unplug your device. . . at the same time people dont think to also go into Device Manager and select "View" and enable "Show hidden devices" and this will show you all of the drivers that have been installed even if they are unplugged so look at all of the categories that any HTC One drivers can be installed in to ensure you havent forgotten any of them and then start over by reinstalling the HTC Drivers all over again.

that's all i'll need to do? that'd be great! i'll try that now. also, thank you for telling me how to find the drivers, i have done that for something before, but completing forgot how i got to that. Thank you! i'm deleting away right now!
edit: well i went ahead and deleted all the htc stuff off my pc and then went to the htc site to download the latest htc sync. but i got an error when trying to install it.. "1152: error extracting to the temporary location" i ran it as admin and i have like 700bg of free space.. wth? =\
edit: went and plugged the phone in and let the drivers auto detect/install that way. tried fastboot and still isn't being recognized...
There are compatibility issues between HTC Sync and Windows 8.1 from what I have read, though I am not sure that the issue you are having falls into this category. Do you have another PC available to try this on?
no other pc available that doesn't have windows 8.1
i followed some instructions to use adb with ubuntu (partitioned and install ubuntu along side win8.1 specifically for my phone) followed instructions and either i don't know what i'm doing because i don't know a thing about linux anything or it isn't being recognized that way either. =\
I'm not even sure where to begin. I've been flashing Rom's on multiple devices for a few years now, and have never had an issue until yesterday. I was running the latest stock 3.04.652.2 (sprint) but was rooted and used a few rooted apps. Everything was fine, but then I decided it was time to try a few new roms as I was getting tired of this one. I flashed CM11, and tried to put 4.4 on there.
I should mention that I was using TWRP for everything, except when I tried to load CM11, it said I needed to use the clockword mod recovery, so I did, and didnt' have any issues. It loaded without a hiccup. I didn't fell in love with this rom, so I tried to flash another. I had thought I successfully made a backup and stored it on my computer, but somehow, it didn't save correctly, and is useless.
I got to the point where I downloaded two Roms on the phone. I was going to try one more, Skydragon 4.0, and then a stock version of the Sprint HTC one zip. While trying to flash the skydragon, it went into the correct mode and began the series of questions prior to the flash, and then, about halfway through, there was an error message about syms issue? I can't remember what the exact wording was. I googled around, and was told that if I wiped the kalvic drive, it would solve the issue. I accidentally wiped everything.
So here I am. Stuck on the bootload screen. I've got a white background...it looks like I'm in recovery, however, there is nothing to recover. I can't even factory reset, because there is nothing on here. It won't load anything. I've tried following every Youtube video, and read through every forum I can find. Nothing works. I've tried downloading every stock rom I can find from Sprint, but I can't get any of the zip drives to open to get to the .image file. So here is what I'm working with...

Fastboot (which I can change to fastboot usb)
Bootloader
Reboot
Reboot bootloader
Power Down
When I try to connect the usb to the phone, nothing happens, it sounds like it recognizes it, but then get an error message stating that the USB is not recognized. None of the other options do me any good. Reboot, power down, etc ,all take me right back to this screen. I've got all of the developer sdk tools and was going to try to manually put them back on, but can't even do any of it because I can't get the ROM to work.
Do I have any options? Or, am I better at this point to just drop it in the toilet, and shell out the money for the insurance claim to get a phone? I thought about taking it to the Sprint store down the street, and just asking for a Christmas miracle, but I"m not sure how much trouble it will get me in...
Please help! I can't go through Christmas without a phone.

did you try to make " fastboot erase cahe(s)" ? it may solve the problem.
or you should flash another recovery that support your rom!

I can't even get it to connect to the usb on the computer. It say the usb drive doesn't work. My only options are what's available on the screen. Anything I do reboots me to the recovery screen. There is no way to re-load anything on it. I think I'm screwed. I might try to take it back to sprint and see what they say. Even though it says tampered on the top...the S is set to ON, so maybe that will save me?

Ok...got into the cmd prompts...keep getting : fastboot is not recognized as an internal or external command.
the phone won't even connect to the pc. says the usb is not recognized...even when it's on fastboot usb
At this point, I'm so frustrated, I'm going to try to take it to a sprint store...if they tell me I'm screwed, I'll come home, and accidentally drop it in the sink, and then file the insurance. Don't know what else to do...

I face same problem with Win. 8
You are in safe side don't worry
I think u need only to fastboot erase caches

When you say safe side, do you think I'll get in trouble at the Sprint store? It does say tampered, and unlocked, but the S is on. I'm just going to go with "my brother in law came over last night for the holidays and started messing with my phone. This morning, when I woke up, this is all I can get to." Nothing loads. I'm hoping they will fix it. Otherwise, I'm out $150 for the insurance.
I don't have a win 7 computer, otherwise I would try. This sucks.

Why are you posting in the GSM One forums ?
Sprint HTC one is totally different than these.
If you have flashed a GSM Rom to your Sprint phone your going to have to RUU back to stock to get your partitions repaired.
if fastboot is not working on your windows 8.1 PC it means you hboot is older than 1.55.000 .... try this RUU with your phone in the bootloader screen
http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_..._NV_SPCS_4.38_003_release_335355_signed_2.exe
Edit: your going to need to use fastboot, type this cmd: fastboot oem lock this will relock the bootloader
to accomplish this I suggest an Ubuntu boot CD
I got a similar problem a few days ago, and this is how i solved it. First make sure you have TWRP installed, while in recovery, push the rom into your phone memory. Then go to your phone and click install. Good luck!

thanks for the link, my device isnt even s-off and never has been, so to mess up this bad without s-off scares me,
i have the new M8 on the way and should be with me tomorrow so im not too upset just kinda makes me a little hesitant about flashing in the future.
i will keep an eye on here to see if there is any way to fix and the link you provided,
thank you again,
I've been looking for a while for a forum with someone who has my problem hoping to solve it on my own but i haven't found one so if this is a duplicate please post a link so i can do it! thank you!
As far as i know, this m7 has never had s-off because as long as i've had it i haven't been able to access fastboot. i bought it from swappa and it already had root and a custom rom. However a few months later i thought i was going to sell it so i flashed an RUU onto it and declined root. the sale fell through and i'm trying to put a custom rom on it again but i don't have a recovery anymore. it must have gotten wiped when i flashed the RUU? i declined root when i flashed it (because of the sale) and not having root OR a recovery OR access to fastboot i'm not sure what to do from here.
ADB works just fine, as far as i know. i DO have the fast boot option turned off within the os (which is the only thing that boots) i have Hboot 1.44 which should apparently be a BREEZE to get s-off and root with except neither I, or any of the apps, programs, one click root's i've tried have been able to access fastboot.
i HAVE tried multiple machines with multiple OS. (windows 8.1 and Ubuntu 14) i've tried multiple cables. i've tried usb 3.0 and usb 2.0. i've installed htc sync drivers on the windows machine. i've tried the 'naked' unsigned drivers that a few people have said made fastboot work for them but they never worked. although what confuses me most is i've never had a problem with ADB. adb reboot bootloader works for me no issue but as soon as i get into fastboot this device has never been recognized.
at this point i'm rrreeeaaalllyyy tempted to just trash it but i was hoping this phone would last me until the rest of the year so i could save up for the m9.
Thank you so much for your help!! I was as thorough as I could be with the details.. I hope it's enough.
I believe hboot 1.44 had issues with recognition on Windows 8+. Did you try a computer with an older version of windows? I think there is also a thread that might help you out on that.

i haven't had the option yet to try with windows 7 but i had hoped that Ubuntu would recognize it because all the problems i've heard from windows 8+ were with the usb drivers.. i will see if i can get my hands on a win 7 machine though.
