[Q] What's Next after Unbrick My Phone?

Hi. there. thanks for taking your time to read my thread. I'm really in need of help.
I bricked my phone (Incredible S) by flashing bad radio and managed to unbrick it by sending to service. (the guy used Jtag riffbox)
Now, my current state of my phone is, i'm stuck in the bootloader.
It's stated Security Warning
VIVO PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT- 1.13.0000
RADIO - 3805.06.03.03_M
EMMC-boot
Choosing Recovery also done nothing.
I tried to connect the phone thru USB but it's stated USB deviced not recognised.
What should i do? Now i'm currently redownload htc sync...
Please help me. Thanks

While bootlooping, press and hold all 3 buttons to reset the device. While its resetting, let go of the volume up button so you're only pressing volume down and power. The device should then enter bootloader.
Select fastboot from the menu and then you can enter the fastboot command
Code:
fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin
this is the same command you used to unlock your phone originally.
Edit: ignore all that, my apologies. Check your drivers.

someone please help me... i really need help. i don't have much time left for now. please

With HBOOT 1.13, you can immediately go to the Revolutionary.io site and get S-Off. That site has all of the drivers and instructions you need. Please read the documentation page carefully and you should be good to go.
Once you have S-Off and custom recovery, you will be able to flash and custom ROM in the Development section.

Thank you for your kind reply. However, since after the unbrick process, i was unable to connect it with my pc, and the revolutionary wont detect my device either.
It stuck in the bootloader..
I tried to flash RUU that match with the radio (2.30.504 something..) but no luck.
The CID is htc__038.
Tried to unlock the bootloader with htcdev but can't get the token because fastboot oem command can't be used.

You wont be able to unlock because that hboot doesn't support it. Can I see a link to the ruu you tried?
Edit: If this service guy flashed your phone to hboot 1.13 with jtag, it's unlikely he used an Indian ruu because they are impossible to find. You need to contact him and find out what he actually did to your phone. What version software he used and did he change your Cid and why he thinks giving you a bootlooping phone is fixing it. Baseband and hboot version is not enough info to be able to help you.
Your PC does not recognize your phone. Do you have drivers installed? Have you entered fastboot mode?
If you're trying to flash ruu's from another region, do you know you need a goldcard? Do you have one? Do you have another phone (android or WP) that you can create a goldcard on?

[Q] S-On Htc First?

So I've run into a problem with my new Htc First phone, the wifi doesnt locate any access points.
Its unlocked,rooted and S-off-ed.
I can unroot and lock the bootloader but does anyone know how to S-on it?

Yea, you just have to ruu first and then follow this guide.

Btw is there any known wifi problem with the First? Mine just came from america yesterday and the phone wasn't locating any access points. I thought rooting it and flashing another ROM might work for it but unfortunately it didnt
Actually I'm also having trouble flashing stock unrooted rom , could you point me in the right direction?

You usually have to run a factory reset, cache/dalvik cache wipe before you flash roms. I get that wifi problem sometimes when trying to flash a rom before wiping.

DUDE QUICK THING ! you can't flash any roms in till you RELOCK THE BOOTLOADER ! I know it sounds weird but trust me you will keep the S-off status (assuming you have s-off) and everything works fine, I couldn't flash any roms in till I relocked and I heard others have this problem too.
Now the WiFi problem, if factory resetting doesn't work, try flashing the stock rooted ROM around these threads, if that doesn't work try JMZ's kernel, and if that doesn't work then you have a hardware problem, good luck.

If he just RUU's it he won't have to worry about relocking his boot loader, he should just use titainium backup and ruu to save time.

I've tried it many times already it works, after you ruu it you just have to turn s-on before you try to unlock the boot loader again otherwise you'll get bootloop.

guys guys, you've lost me.
All I need to do is wipe away all traces of my rooting and bootloader unlocking etc as I'm returning it for warranty.
Now my First is rooted, custom recovery and s-off and unlocked .
I want it unrooted, s-on and boot loader locked.
Someone please guide me through the steps :/
btw im not a n00b, but this is my first HTC phone so I'm not too familiar with these ruu's and s-offs

Step 1. RUU your device
Step 2. After it reboots when it's done ruu'ing just start it and go through the set up.
Step 3. Turn on USB debugging mode.
Step 4. Turn on CMD on your PC then just follow the commands below
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot oem writecid xxxxxxxx (where xxxxxxxx is your stock CID.) Mines is CWS__001 on the HTC first I'm not sure if it's the same on all devices just check to see if yours it the same, if it is just use fastboot oem writecid CWS__001
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot getvar cid (It should say CWS__001 if that is your cid.)
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
fastboot reboot-bootloader
*verify you are locked s-on
fastboot reboot
And that's it, it is a extremely simple process lol, I've done it at least 20 times since I tend to ruu my device a lot off of S-OFF, when messing around with different roms.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841890
So its okay if I flash the ruu by the second method as in this thread?
And will custom recovery be overwritten with stock recovery?

OK Update!
I was well on my way to relock,s-on my phone etc and here's what happened
 @Kendosis
 @SneakyGuyDavid
1) Sucessfully RUU'd
As it happened I didnt have my sim inserted and when I rebooted, the wifi was working! When I inserted the sim the wifi stopped working. I did some bit of research and it turns out it has something to do with wifi country codes. Apparently it can be fixed by this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fardjad.android.wifixmanager
2) Since the app required root, I was going to get root again.
(Flashing RUU gave me bootloader locked)
I unlocked and then flashed CWM
3) Since I had no roms on my phone storage and the CWM doesnt mount storage, I had to sideload the ROMS.
4) No matter which roms I flashed, I was stuck in a bootloop. I relocked and tried flashing again but I was again stuck in a bootloop. CWM works fine though.
Current status: Bootloader Locked, S-off.
What do I do to fix this bootloop :/

@dramon
I told you to s-on after you ruu first otherwise you get boot loop lol.
Now RUU again and right after don't install nothing just start up the phone and turn usb debugging on and follow the steps to S-ON.

also sideload sucks ass, if you flash TWRP then you can run adb from it and use adb push, so in cmd you would run " adb push
ROMZIPNAME.ZIP /sdcard "

Thanks guys, I now have an idea of how the rooting and unlocking works for HTC (Y)

HTC ONE m7-ul HELP s-on stuck at Bootloader RUU fail

I'm kinda in a bad situation here.
I am very familiar with adb, fastboot, flashing and all that jazz but ran into a problem here:
I was trying to return back to stock rom and locked device to return it for warranty (bad top speaker and mic) and in the process I re-locked the bootloader and switched the s-off to s-on.
But when I went to flash the RUU via fastboot I kept getting a error message of signature failure.
Then after trying more RUU's that were most similar to my device I still was getting the same error.
I then tried an .exe RUU but kept getting errors during the process.
If I reboot it, it just returns to the bootloader and recovery goes to the bootloader as well.
Here are some pics:

post a fastboot getvar all (excluding IMEI and s/n)
ruu.zip are usually already decrypted, so would fail the signature check.

RUU.EXE for you is on androidruu.com or htc1guru.com

this will upgrade you to 4.19.661.8 and since you are already S-ON, only use this if:
1- no TAMPERED
2- LOCKED not RELOCKED
.

My bootloader screen shows:

will this RUU still work?

it may get rid of tampered and security warning, but it will DEFINITELY NOT get you LOCKED, which is usually needed for warranty!!
time to unlock, get S-Off again, and follow the guide properly.

So will it install without error and get me stock ROM for now?
Cause after that, I can get S-OFF later, I'm just desperate for something to run now.

don't know what error 158 is... but the ruu should work fine; possibly USB3 problems??
HOWEVER, I highly recommend you get S-Off before upgrading to 4.4 !! (because there is a possibility S-Off won't work!!)
so unlock, s-off, then install any ROM, until you have time to do this properly!

how can I even get s-off again without a rom even installed ?

You need a ROM installed, no way around that, hence the (yeah made a little mistake): unlock, put a ROM on it, then S-Off

I tried going into recovery but it just rebooted back to the bootloader. I tried everything in the bootloader options and nothing worked.
​my Hboot is version 1.57 and my OS is 6. 10.531.9
​I tried flashing a recovery again and I cant do it it says "error cannot load--" and the same with the Unlock_code.bin it just wasn't working? what am I doing wrong and how can i fix it. please its urgent

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.

Restore to Stock

I have a (sprint) H/K edition M8 running 4.4.2 rooted with TWRP recovery, s-on with 1.54.654.13 & SPCS-004. I wish to return to stock to get the Lollipop update and then return to root. Im at a loss as to what to do please help any advice is appreciated.

Check out the thread in the link below. Use the RUU for the HK Lollipop update. You'll need to relock your bootloader before running the RUU. After running the RUU you'll need to unlock your bootloader and reinstall TWRP. You can then flash a ROM.

Connect your phone to your computer. Run the command fastboot oem lock. That will relock your bootloader.

Ive already had that installed idk what could be going on

Not to hijack the thread but how do I put it back to 100% stock so I can do a warranty return? I am mostly talking about how to remove s-off. I figure I need to have it back to s-on to do the warranty return.

You have to make sure you install the drivers in recovery,bootloader, and OS
ADB = OS and recovery
Fastboot = hboot/fastbootusb.
The waiting for device might be that you are not in fastbootusb

You can install TWRP and root just like you were on any other update. Android version does not matter. Just make sure you unlock the bootloader again, you can use the same unlock token from HTC dev. Then you want to install recovery
Code:
fasboot flash recovery recovery.img
After that, from fastboot, boot into recovery and then reboot system. If you use a newer TWRP it will prompt you to install superSU.
