[Q] Stuck between Roms

I was flashing custom ROMs and accidentally soft-bricked my phone after attempting to go from an alpha Ice Cream Sandwich build to flashing the RUU of the official Sense 3.0 OTA (I know, stupid rookie mistake. I was tired). I tried fixing it, but so far have come up empty handed. The bootloader has just been unlocked through htcdev.com after multiple failed attempts and previously was S-OFF through AlphaRev's Revolutionary (S-ON => Revolutionary S-OFF => S-ON => HTCDEV unlock).
Bootloader reads:
VIVO PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.00.0000
RADIO-3822.10.08.28_M
eMMC-boot
Nov 1 2011,20:33:03
When I attempt to boot, it stays on the htc logo screen, then turns off and back on and into recovery.
Does anyone else have this problem or know how to solve it?
I'd like to flash the new RUU.
So far I've tried:
Flashing htc recovery so I can try flashing the RUUs again. No luck
I even modified the android-info.txt inside the RUUs.
I've tried the WWE RUU, the Asia HK RUU and the Asia WWE RUU (the guy from pakistan who posted in the general thread)
Should I be downgrading using a goldcard?

A goldcard is not for downgrading as such, its for flashing another carriers rom. So by all means, try flashing stock RUU with goldcard if you can't locate RUU from your carrier.
You mentioned trying to flash stock recovery but having no luck. With recovery or RUU after that?

Since you are in Canada, you probably have a IncS S710A/PG3212000 model. All of the 3.0x RUUs are for the PG3213000 model, so your only hope is that the unlocked bootloader is going to allow you to flash a modified PG32IMG.zip that has the android-info.txt file changed for modeled PG3212000.
I was able to do this with the 3.08.405.3 WWE RUU, but in my case I have permanent S-OFF via the XTC clip, so the real question is whether the 2.00.0000 unlocked HBOOT will allow you to flash a modified RUU ROM.zip or not. Good luck. You may just have to settle for custom ROMs.

I can flash the stock recovery all right by extracting recovery.img from the RUU.zip through fastboot. Sorry, I was unclear. I meant that flashing the RUUs through the bootloader still didn't work even after flashing the recovery. It's mentioned somewhere that you need the htc recovery to flash the RUU, and that it won't work with CWM.

Actually, I own a S710e/PG32130 model. I bought it from Taiwan, unlocked.

I tried the HK one first, because I thought it might be the one that Taiwan receives (Apparently the WWE was for European countries?). Anyways, that worked (sort of, that's how I got this updated Hboot and radio). Then I couldn't boot so I tried the other Asia WWE and the Euro WWE and neither will flash.

If the device is unlocked you can just extract the update zip file and flash it manually. Probably just needs boot.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
(Although this depends on what exactly is unlocked and with what method,something your posts do not state)

I mean I bought it off contract, for the full price of 500 dollars. There are no carrier markings on it either. I bought it from an independent shop, not from a carrier store.

Do you mean extract the rom.zip from the RUU.exe, flash the rom.zip as PG32IMG.zip in the bootloader and then fastboot flash boot.img (extracted from PG32IMG.zip)? I've tried that, I'll try it again.
Thanks for the help by the way, and happy new year!

Actually just meant the boot.img as there seems to be a common trend of it failing on this phone with symptoms of stopping at splash screen.
On that note when flashing img file in fastboot you need to specify the partition you wish to flash, which is missing in your post, it should read:
fastboot flash(command) boot(partition) boot.img(file)
Minus the brackets of course.
Happy new year to you also

Flashing the boot.img still isn't working. I've tried all three boot.imgs.
EDIT: I've been doing
"fastboot flash boot boot.img"

Flash a custom recovery and boot into it. Wipe cache, dalvik cache and do factory reset. Restart phone and give it 5-10 mins boot time in case its trying to rebuild dalvik cache
@tpbklake can you see what filesystem stock rom is using please

The stock ROM uses EXT3 for the filesystem.

I used CWM, and it's just like before. It shows the htc screen for around 10 seconds then reboots into recovery.

Flash 4ext recovery so you can confirm that your partitions are formatted to the correct filesystem (ext3) I'm not 100% but I think ics may use ext4

Yeah, great idea. I had a feeling it was to do with ICS. I'll get right on that.

Whelp, looks like they're all ext3 unfortunately.

OK, here is a thought after rereading your original post. You currently have HBOOT 2.00.0000 and it has been unlocked via HTCDEV.com, right?
In order to flash a RUU with HBOOT 2.00.0000 in place, it must be in a LOCKED/RELOCKED state. So one suggestion you could try is go into FASTBOOT mode and enter
fastboot oem lock
to relock and then try and run the Sense 3.0 RUU that you attempted in the first post.

Okay, it wasn't locked before. After issuing the command, the bootloader now says
*** RELOCKED ***
*** Security Warning ***
at the top. I tried flashing the PG32IMG.zip, but now it's giving me a CID error. I did getvar all to find out out my cidnum is HTC__621 while in the android-info.txt for the RUU it is HTC__622. Is it enough to edit the android-info.txts or do I need a goldcard or something else to flash the RUU? I'm going to try the other RUUs as well.
EDIT: I just checked all my RUUs. None of them are HTC__621. The closest is HTC__622. Yikes.

All the guides I've found require me to install GoldCardHelper from the Android Market or to use adb. My phone doesn't work. Is there any other way to create a goldcard?

OK, so once again reading through this thread, here is what the current status of your phone is:
HBOOT 2.00.0000 RELOCKED
You can boot into HBOOT USB and FASTBOOT USB mode, right? There is currently no RUU for your CID, so a goldcard is needed.
When you were attempting to flash the boot.img files in FASTBOOT mode, the phone was in a LOCKED state, not the UNLOCKED state, right?
Since you can't boot the phone so you can use adb.exe plus the fact that zergRush cannot temp root HBOOT 2.00.0000 anyway, you could try going to HTCDEV.com and follow the unlock bootloader procedure to change HBOOT to UNLOCKED. Then you could retry flashing a boot_signed.img from the PG32IMG.zip file in FASTBOOT mode.

[Q] Issue with updating firmware

Hello all. First off, great resource here :cyclops:
I am currently trying to update my HTC One (AT&T) so that I can run the 4.3 Google Play Rom (it sticks on boot screen at the moment)
After that I tried to update firmware as seen here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2182823
(I am using model PN0712000 and CID CWS__001)
I have downloaded the appropriate file and followed the instructions but get stuck after step 6 "Type: fastboot oem rebootRUU and wait for device to reboot"
When I type the reboot command it boots to a black screen that just says "HTC" and sticks there. And I try to load the firmware it says "cannot load firmware.zip unknown error"
For reference the device is currently running a 4.2.2 rom (ends TBalden) if that matters
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

S-OFF? Unless you have a legit GE one, you'll have to be s-off to do it.
If you are, you'll need to delete the zip you are trying to flash in fastboot, reboot comp and try a fresh download.
Also id personally say run the command
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
after you have s-off
EDIT: failed to see that you are att... You'll only be able to ruu to the Cingular ruu without s-off. I can't tell which stock firmware you linked as it brought me to some random post in that thread lol

Oh I missed that detail. S-On at the moment. Based upon my limited tenure with rooting and my understanding of the potential flops in S-OFF I will probably stay away from anything that requires that (for the time being at least).
Is there some reason that I can install the 4.2.2 Rom but this 4.3 and Bigxie 4.3 both fail? Do they require firmware change? Something else I'm missing? The installer for this ROM is pretty self explanatory. And I am wiping before hand (both in the ROM install and in TWRP).
Same result every time though (never ending HTC screen)
Thanks again

Not sure why it won't boot. There should be no extra steps with this phone such as flashing separate boot.img....
Other ROMs flash fine?
S-off does have it warnings and potentials... But the revone s-off method carries and extreemmmeelllyy small chance of being fatal to your phone. I'd usually try to talk someone out of modding if you're not comfortable with it. But revone is a couple adb commands that are pretty newb friendly

Well I'm 1 for 3 as outlined above. The bigxie_m7_GPe_odexed_tbalden 4.2.2 works fine. The two 4.3 roms do not work... including ARHD and bigxie_m7_GPe_JWR66V_odexed-signed.
Is there an easy way to just "go back to stock" and then try again? The back to stock tutorials all seem a good bit involved.
Edit: Bigxie 4.3 just worked...maybe I'll just stick with that presuming there are no big issues with it?
Are there any big reasons to update the radio? If so can I do after ROM load?
Thanks for all your help btw.

Still wondering why this particular rom won't load. Any other takers? Bigxie still running at the moment.
I bet mike1986. knows!

[Q] HTC ONE bootloop, no recovery, wrong CID, S-ON

Hi Guys,
1 month ago I chaged my HTC ONE into Google Play Edition. Then Yesterday I wanted to get it to stock sense.
What I did:
*) restore CID to HTC__032 (do not know if it is right CID, network: P4 play for Poland)
*) restore stock via TWRP
*) downgrade bootloader from 1.54 to 1.44
*) locked (reveone)
*) S-On
Now, my phone got always bootoader with a msg: "Security Warrinig"
Canno go to recovery - phone always reboots. System doesn't start.
I'm assuming that to repair my phone the first thing I have to do is S-OFF. I cannot do this via HTCDEV unlock file, every time when i fire "fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin"
file is successfully sent and that's all. "Swipe - unlock" screen doesn't appear. As we know ADB PUSH won't work in fastboot mode.
How I can transfer reveone file into internal storage to get my phone s-Off again and corretley flash a bootloader (1.54)?
Regards.

so let me get this straight:
1- S-On
2- LOCKED
3- No functioning ROM
if yes, you're pretty much stuck
did you get a new unlocktoken from HTCdev or are you using the old one. try registering a new account with HTCdev and get a new unlock file.

yes, I have tried - no success.

At first, the HTC Dev Unlock does NOT give you S-Off. It just unlocks your bootloader. And why did you change your CID if you didnt know if it was the right one? Google will help you to find the right one.
In case this IS the right one, I dont think you need S-Off as you're able to flash a new Recovery without S-Off. Try HTC aio Tool for example or via adb/fastboot flash. If this worked you'll be able to flash a new firmware.
Good Luck

did you try with a new email account?

So you were s-off before then back to s-on. Or how you downgraded from 1.54 to 1.44 ? I am confused now

Thank's for all your responses.
So:
 @nkk71 - tried with new account - still no success.
 @Frask3r - as long as I'm not able to run anything except bootloader: adb commant won't work(no way to perform push), fastboot only works.
 @polariscon - I wanted to flash my googles' bootloader with the orginal one from HTC, so I flashed via fastboot.
I can confirm that CID is correct one HTC__032. I do not know if it will help.

You can flash with fastboot commands

oh I just saw you downgraded to 1.44, try an RUU (windows exe) from here: http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/ruu-file-downloads/
which is compatible with your MID & CID (use fastboot getvar all, to determine MID & CID)

Hello.
I need help to fix my htc one.
I did delete everything on my internal sdcard. Cause i want to make it as new to give it to my girlfriend. But when i did that. Its stopped working. I've tried to use all in one kit by squabbi. But it won't work to change boot or anything. Maybe i did smt wrong.
When i turn on my htc one. Its stuck in boot. White screen with htc logo on it. I cant even turn it off again. I have to wait when the battery its empty. And then i can turn it on to fastboot. Before all that. I came into recovery and then its stands no OS on the phone.
But after i yried to fix it by myself then it will not be able to even touch the recovery. I push the screen,but nothing happend. I think i did it worse or smt. Pleas help if somebody can. It would be great.

After reading OP i think you have many things mixed up so plz clarify
What happens when you try to boot into recovery...if its stock recovery it takes some time for red triangle to appear.
Which "swipe-unlock" screen are you talking about in unlocking bootloader.
When using RUU zip try more than once sometimes it takes 2 - 3 tries to work

But you can still boot into hboot so it might not be all lost
When was the last time you able to boot normally (after each steps you mentioned in OP)

I'm Sorry for answering so late. My phone just came back from "local" GSM repair center.
So what they done?
They destroyed my back cover and using JTAG changed cid to: HTC_02_2 and version-main to 1.00.000.00
and they told me that I'm not able to flash my phone with any current ROM version because I have to wait for
the latest one.
I have tried to update my phone with RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.20.401.1_Radio_4A.13.3227.06_10.27.1127.01_release_308001_signed_2_4.exe on my own.
I changed my cid in android-info.txt but after "signatures checking" step i received error msg no 131 (customer id)
Now I'm wondering, if I will procceed with below steps:
*) change cid to: 11111111 (using JTAG)
*) still s-on (i cannot change it - bootloop)
*) bootloader locked
are there any chances to make it works again?
Cheers

Can you unlock bootloader, flash custom recovery, root, and install a custom rom?
Then S-Off, and move to a HTC__001 based International HTC One RUU file.
What is your hboot version? or fastboot getvar all output?

Help me please! :(

My current situation is : M7_UL PVT Ship S- On Tampered relocked & unrooted again. No Rom installed, no backup, no recovery!
:'(
I tried installing RUU file but it failed, tried two/three different RUUs.
Also tried to achieve S-Off but maybe I'm to dumb & it didn't work.
I'm out of ideas, please help me

Im pretty sure you cannot boot into a custom recovery with S-ON
To remove the TAMPERED and LOCK the bootloader, you will have to S-OFF using rumrunner for hboot 1.5x or revone for hboot 1.44
The current Rumrunner can work with a custom rom e.g. the latest version of ARHD or Insertcoin ROM that has an unsecure kernel. To do this though you will have to unlock the bootloader using htcdev and install the custom rom and then S-OFF

Yeah you cant boot .img files any more with s-on or s-off htc removed it in the now HBOOT and fastboot.
Dont panic mate its really easy to fix
Simply download ARHD from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183023 make sure you have all the latest drivers and everything installed and rename the file to rom.zip you will need TWRP for this i believe and simply boot to recovery (TWRP) and push thw file to your sdcard using adb push rom.zip /sdcard (takes a while) simply flash arhd rom.
Once your phone boots you can use rumrunner.us to s-off the phone. Follow the instructions on their site. Once thats done boot to fastboot and use the command fastboot oem writecid 11111111 you will now have supercid and you can now flash any ruu you like. (unless you need to downgrade hboot.) If thats the case pm me and i can guide you through it on here.

Tbh I know in theory xposed should be dangerous but it's really not. I would defo s-off though you need to install the latest firmware which you will be missing and addresses a LOT of issues. S-off the device and I will show you how to upgrade the firmware

I used to use ARHD but I switched to maximus HD because of the OTA and the 360 camera mod.
So to upgrade firmware you want to boot into fastboot and type "fastboot getvar mid" write it down then go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485651 and download the correct version against your mid.
Put it in your adb/fastboot folders and making sure your still in fastboot type "fastboot oem rebootRUU"
Once you phone boots into update mode you will see a HTC logo on your screen and nothing else.
Rename the firmware you just downloaded to firmware.zip and type "fastboot flash zip firmware.zip"
It will say say failed pre hboot update flush image again. Simply type the exact same cmd again "fastboot flash zip firmware.zip" and it will flash the latest firmware.
The progress bar on your phone probably won't go all the way up but as long as cmd says finished its done so just type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and if you look your main-os will have changed.
That's it.
Your on the latest firmware meaning all the Roms should run smoothly and you should have no more issues with exposed.

One thing I forgot to mention you need super cid so if you havn't already you need to be in fastboot and you need to type "fastboot oem writecid 11111111" and then fastboot reboot-bootloader you cod should have changed to 11111111 allowing you to flash an ruu for any phone now.

Everything done, thanks for your help!
Good night ;;?

You mean I can't boot into a custom recovery with S-OFF and a unlocked bootloader? Sry.. I'd test that but my phone is sent in for repair

Yeah afraid so. Tbf I don't know of that is the case for every phone but the m7_ul UK edition couldn't get it to work on any device I tried after contacting a friend who I have inside HTC's repair centre he claimed the feature does not work with the latest hboot.
I might see if I can get some other devices from work to test this further and if it is true for all variants then maybe enroll on a workaround

fastboot boot recovery.img only works in hboot 1.44, it was either patched or broken in hboot 1.54

no problem, it might have actually been broken by accident, someone disassembled the code and saw a bad memcpy; sort of lost track of the post though

(Q) Restoring HTC M7 back to Rogers Stock.

Hi guys I have acquired a Rogers M7 that powers on but then just sits at a blank screen after boot. I can access fastboot and als flashed twrp recovery, I m on OS version 7.17.631.7 lollipop I believe, it is S-ON , HBOOT 1.61, I unlocked the bootloader using the HTCDEV.
I have tried to getting it past the blank screen by using the latest RUU I could find, 4.19.631.9 but that did not work, I think cause the s-on will not allow a downgrade, I also tried using the One_All-In-One_Kit_v3.1 to side load a zip but same problem, fails verification. I have also tried a nandroid back by copying it to the internal memory but still not working.
Can anyone help me fix this phone so it can be usable again? or provide me with an RUU that will work.
Thanks

Right, you can't downgrade when S-ON. Relock your bootloader and flash the 7.17.631.7 RUU
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/general/lollipop-ruu-zip-small-collection-t3053944
I would also recommend that you stop using toolkits and learn to use adb and fastboot directly from a command window. These tools are not up-to-date and will most likely cause some issues.

thanks

If you have already used adb then you won't have any difficulty using fastboot, it's basically the same thing and the commands to flash the ruu are posted in the link above. Just don't forget to use the fastboot version from that thread or it won't work.
