ICS upgrade - boot loop - can't fix - bricked?

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.
Thanks for the reply.

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

Did you use this script to downgrade and then flash gb ruu?

Any ideas anyone?

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.

[Q] Stock Recovery Partition Missing?

Just curious, does anyone have a dump of the recovery partition for the Dev Edition? It looks like from a bit of reading is that the recovery partition doesn't seem to be present.
I am unable to use recovery mode properly since it saids invalid operation when I do apply from SD, storage or cache, followed by the phone automatically restarting.
Has anyone else noticed this? I wonder if the unlocked 32 GB versions is unaffected.

try to reflash the recovery, the partitions should be the same as the original One

I tried to do that by using the RUU and using the zip, but it did not bring it back.
Is there a way to get the recovery image itself? I tried to extract the zip but it looked like it's encrypted as I cannot do so.
Looks like one mike1986 mentioned it's missing as well.
mike1986. said:
1. Well, I decided not to mention some things to avoid confusion. At the moment unlocking bootloader removes content of /data/preload partition, so indeed, installing OTA will fail. But I truly hope that HTC will fix it at some point and unlocking bootloader won't cause some stock apps to be missing.
2. Which procedure?

Hmm, I'm beginning to wonder if the stock recovery is suppose to work like that, where if I try to apply storage, sd card, or cache it saids invalid operation and reboot. The reason is, a new HTC One S my relative got she her phone is being replaced for free under warranty... I go to the recovery and do those certain the apply stuff, it also saids invalid operation out and restarts!
I find this a bit interesting on my HTC One when I go to the recovery and wondering the failed mount SD card messages is normal.

The only time bootloader is going to Sig check a recovery partition is if he is relocked. He said he used the ruu a couple times so he is still relocked.

hello
at first I was the same with the recovery, but install this and it worked well, and use that version of android stock for now
but if you want to upgrade later (OTAS), you would have to have stock recovery and unroot your device, saludos

Since no one else is really helping you I will.
So what I gathered is your Rom bootloops and you've tried installing stock Rom but still no luck so you want to switch recoveries but you can't get twrp to flash...?
1. Are you S-Off or S-On? If you are s-on you must flash boot.img with this command
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
2. To flash a recovery made for your device you must place it in fastboot and enter this
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
3. Place Rom on internel storage if you choose cwm because it doesn't support external sdcard like twrp. For latest twrp, message @kairi_zeroblade... If you can't place on internal with cwm then you must do a sideload with the Rom same goes for twrp.

Not sure if you can enter this command without a-off but try
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Then repeat the previous post....
If that doesn't work I'd try firewaters universal s-off tool and obtain s-off and try that command or see if it fixes your issues with your device. if that fails your best bet would be to ruu.. if you can't do that either you got a useless device till s-off exploit Is found if that's the reason why it's messing up.... Or donate it to someone who could fix it (me)

Seem like you fried your "/data" partition from what you just mentioned above. The only way I could see you fix is ruu. Cause HTC won't fix it if you send it in with a custom recovery at which you can't change.
And what I meant is since the device is rendered completely useless, unless you can get a run to ruu. You'd donate it to me this way i could try and fix it...

There is no RUU for this phone, as far as I know. The closest thing to RUU is flashing everything by hand, but this seems to have failed in this case, unfortunately.

HTC Incredible S stuck in "H-Boot"

For around 6 months now, my device is stuck in H Boot. Woke up one morning and when I turned on the phone it wouldn't start. I've tried several searches to rectify the issue but none proved successful.
I was wondering if anyone here had a similar issue and passed it and would like to give me some assistance. It'll be greatly appreciated.

Thats all I can see.
Also, Fastboot, Bootloader etc are also on that same page.

I think, you need to go fastboot, flash a recovery, then install custom ROM.

So Google "pg32img.zip" and lemmie guess, put it on the SD card and start the phone?
Ok

Yep, it can be recovery or RUU

Any direct links?
