I have flashed the rumrunner hboot, it is on 1.55. Previously I used to have the stock 1.44 hboot. I have a problem with the rumrunner, it seems that if I charge the device with the phone off it starts a charging animation, and than the screen doesn't really come off, there's aways some light coming from the screen.
I'd like to revert back to my 1.44 hboot. I am s-off. Can I brick my device by doing so?

You can fastboot flash it or dd it from a shell command. Either way is fine.

I hate to bump this old thread, but I remember hearing about this issue before and this was the only reference I could find about it. Does anyone else have any issues with the custom rumrunner hboots? I saw somewhere else someone report that their screen never goes completely dark, but I can't find where I read it.

I had opened a thread about it. So the stock 1.55 hboot doesn't have this problem?
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk
You sure that's hboot? When I load TWRP I get exactly the behavior that the screen never turns off.
However, when I (most times) have PhilZ recovery, PhilZ comes up when the phone is off, then plugged in. After screen timeout, it turns the screen completely off, properly. Always comes back properly when you want it, unlike TWRP.
I am sure. I have always used TWRP. I used to be on hboot 1.44 and there's no charging animation, screen always off. As soon as I tried the modified 1.55 hboot of rumrunner I noticed the screen would never really turn off while charging with the phone off. After the animation it would stay bright for some secs, than after a 30 secs it would go very dimm. Initially I didn't notice it, but with the lights off it's pretty visible. So I went back to 1.44 and no more problems. I don't want to fry my screen just because of some stupid animation

Not sure, I am still on the stock 1.44 hboot. I lost my custom moonshine hboot when I ran an RUU a few months ago and now I'm considering flashing the custom rumrunner hboot, but I heard there were some issues.

I have never had any problems like this with TWRP. I know turning of screen timeout within the TWRP settings does correct issues with the screen not coming back on.

Yea, this is the exact issue I read about and was wondering if it was a common/reproducible issue.

So, to avoid bricking my device I relocked the bootloader, used the stock RUU file and upgraded to ICS.
Worked as a charm.
Installed a custom ROM, worked fine.
Installed another one, was great.
And then I changed to Dark Raider (link) and after installation completes my device goes black entirely. I can access CWM Recovery and everything but not the bootloader menu or anything else.
No matter what other ROM I try to flash, it doesnt work, and I can't get RUU going because I can't access flashboot.
Any ideas?
Which kernel did you flash? Did you do any other steps before or after installing the last ROM like factory reset, etc. Just trying to brainstorm some ideas.

I flashed the boot.img as usual that comes with the ROM, then did all the wiping they say we should on the main thread, then flashed the ROM.
What is really weird is that this is something I've done countless times before and never had any trouble. Even on ICS.
Oh and the device is still recognised by the computer, although not by the RUU file itself.
CWM Recovery works just fine but nothing else.
How are you getting to cwm? Normally you only access it through hboot. Are you doing the button combo?

When I plug it in via USB, it automatically turns the phone on into CWM.
It's just like when they had that bug on CWM Recovery that wouldn't let us charge our phones when they were off without automatically going into Recovery.
I just want a way to make the RUU file recognise the phone so I can go back to stock. Anyone?

Because I've been everywhere in Recovery and can't seem to find Reboot into Bootloader. I find Reboot Recovery alright, into the Advanced options, and several ++GO BACK++s that leads me to nowhere. I keep pressing it while on the main screen of Recovery and it just blinks the screen and that's all.

By plugging in my phone into the computer via USB. It automatically goes into CWM Recovery.
I always try to follow the most up-to-date topics but rooting HTC Vivid on ICS was a bit weird and I used a tool I randomly came across with and had never used before, some SuperToolv3 or whatever it's called.
I was trying to flash the stoc AT&T ROM via .zip but apparently I can't access my external sd card via CWM due to the sweet fact that apparently iGo created a ext_sd folder by itself, and when I try to access the external sd card it goes into iGo's useless folder.
Grand.
I can't just return my phone to HTC since I bought this phone from a friend and over here it's not sold, and I'm not going to US or anywhere soon so I'm screwed.

You do know how to get into hboot right?
Unplug it from the USB. Pull your battery out put it back in. Then with it still unplugged from USB press and hold the volume down button while simultaneously holding down the power button. Keep holding them both down for a couple seconds then hboot should load up.

Yes, I do know how to get into hboot.
I press both buttons and nothing happens.
The RUU file was the 1st thing i tried, but it doesn't recognise the phone since it's not on the mode it should be for using the RUU.
Grrrr. And I'm not even in a country where this phone is sold so I really can't see how I'll get this fixed.
Well, I'm not THAT noob. I know how to do most things. I've played around with this phone for a few months now and never had a problem with it.
I flashed the kernel properly and then I flashed the Dark Raider ROM the way I always do. Do you think is there any possibility that this was caused by Dark Raider?
I couldn't've done anything wrong. I never did. I wouldn't wait months of practice to finally screw anything up now.

And it's funny 'cause a guy in the other topic (I kinda think it's the ROM's fault so I posted there as well, maybe the dev has any clue) told me I should plug the phone in and try to get into hboot.
Well, I tried just for the hell of it and obviously didn't work.
Every time I plug the phone in either to a charger or a computer I'm taken straight to CWM Recovery. Like that old bug it had that we couldn't charge the phone off without going into Recovery.
I left it in Recovery but I'm not sure if it's charging, the battery wasn't that low but after all this time it probably is now, so it doesn't hurt to leave it there.
But, like, if this was a complete brick I wouldn't even be getting into Recovery, right? And the computer wouldn't be recognising it.
Isn't there a way to access the internal memory of the phone through the computer? I'd like to try one last thing but iGo created a ext_sd folder inside the phone and now when I try to access the REAL external SD i'm taken to the iGo folder.
And I only saw that now.
Or maybe a way to make the phone recognisable by the RUU .exe file?
Apparently a series of unfortunate things led me to this.
A friend of mine tried to root their Vivid using Z4 Root and it appears they were not successful.
The phone is now stuck on a black screen with a green down arrow with a circular green arrow formation around it. http://s13.postimage.org/82qs23ezr/photo_1.jpg
Can someone please give me some guidance in fixing this phone.
Thanks
Relock your bootloader first!
Download the official ics ruu for the HTC vivid. Pull the battery , place it back in and go into bootloader mode ( power and vol down ).
Plug up the vivid to your computer and fire up fastboot
On your terminal type :
fastboot rebootRUU
Start up the official ics RUU for the vivid, follow all instructions, return to stock.
Don't use z4 root on the vivid, its useless. Read the pinned topic that hasoon2000 put up on the all in one toolkit

When the SHTF, try the recovery project. Z4root is only good for select 2.1 and 2.2 devices. The HTC Vivid comes stock with 2.3+ or ICS.
If you're looking to root if you do decide to go replacement if all else fails, upgrade to ICS when you get the new vivid and follow hasoon2000's guides.
Or try the method below
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium
If you want to give this a shot to restore your vivid, try this out. This is how I recovered a vivid in a similar situation regarding a stalled RUU refresh.
Try to get into hboot using ADB when you see the triangle screen.
adb reboot bootloader, if this fails then type
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Hopefully you got the fastboot hboot screen by now.
If you see the hboot screen then try unlocking your device, if you can without issue then proceed. If it is unlocked continue
Install the ICS CWM for vivid from fastboot ( check the pinned guides on these forums )
Enable USB mode from CWM
Take this time out to retrieve any data such as pictures, videos or files you need to get from the internal sd.
Go to wipe, wipe boot, wipe data then format the internal sd.
Select back when complete, turn off the vivid. Get back into bootloader mode by pressing power and down on the volume button.
Get into fastboot relock the bootloader only if you want a stock ics from the RUU.
If so, then get into fastboot USB mode, open up your terminal/command prompt, navigate to where you keep your fastboot executable, then type :
fastboot rebootRUU
Start up the ICS RUU only!.
I didn't want to risk flashing a custom Rom over the problem I experienced through cwm, but I would have to say that might work also, but mantra is, when all else fails, back to stock.
When finished complete a somersault ninja flip lol.
Huge problems do occur when you try to downgrade back to GB from ICS. Partition changes, etc...

But as of right now if my phone is hooked up to usb and I turn it off, within 1 or 2 minutes, it powers back on into Android.
Is this the normal behavior or something that was caused by S-OFF's custom hboot?

Are you moonshine s-off'ed?
Could I try flashing the stock hboot?
I erased cache with "fastboot erase cache" then i flashed my recovery again and I believe the problem is gone.
Okay, so before i go ahead and post this, I'm well aware of where i should be posting it, but i'm apparently a new member and therefore cannot post in the HTC One Development section.
I'm using the T-Mobile HTC One (M7_ul) and i wanted to convert into the Google Play Edition. I took the OTA update from t-mobile that bumped me up to 1.27.531.11, and it took me about an hour to realize that t-mobile decided to block all ways to s-off with that update, and that i would somehow have to get back to .8. My bootloader is unlocked, with TWRP 2.5.0.0. and root. I flashed the Stock Sense 5 1.27.531.8 rom (although rather buggy, i keep getting errors with the phone program abruptly stopping, but its not an issue seeing as im not staying with this rom). Im under the assumption that if i did that, as long as my hboot was still 1.44, i'd be able to use Moonshine or revone to s-off. I tried both, and neither of them were a go. I keep getting an Error-2 with revone, and moonshine gets to Moonshining (10) and then says Error: dont drink and shine. Now i'm not a complete noob when it comes to unlocking and rooting HTC devices, but ive never decided to take that extra step to s-off. everytime i think i have it right, moonshine and revone give me errors. would someone please tell me what im doing wrong, or at least point me in the right direction? please?

Yeah that's it, I've read that one person has got it to work but idk if they actually took the ota or not. There would be a workaround if we had an RUU for .7 or .8 but we don't. So I guess we just gotta wait for someone to figure something out.

so updating all you fellas, no method i tried worked I managed to find a stable rom for 1.27.531.7. my thought process was to flash to .7, unroot, reflash stock recovery, relock the bootloader, and try to install the .8 OTA. Didnt work. I tried to bypass, got the OTA .zip from my storage, rebootRUU and flash the OTA firmware. Didnt work either. The progress bar hung at about 75%(i tried this 6 times, same result). so i unlocked the bootloader again, reflashed twrp 2.5.0.0 and had planned on just restoring the nan i made. I didnt realize that when you flash a RUU, even if it doesnt finish, it still formats your /sd/data, so backup was gone, by this point i had already done the wipe expecting it to be there, so through all this, i ended up stuck in twrp with no OS, and for some reason the ADB sideload feature didnt work so i couldnt push a .zip to the phone. after an hour and a half of frantically searching, i just decided to run the .11 official RUU, so after 14 hours, im back to where i started. Wayyyyy more trouble than its worth. just gonna flash a stock rooted 4.3 GPE rom, and when HTC and T-Mobile decide to stop screwing around and push the 4.2.2 update, ill just reflash the RUU.
Thanks for all the help, gents.

I didnt realize that when you flash a RUU, even if it doesnt finish, it still formats your /sd/data, so backup was gone, by this point i had already done the wipe expecting it to be there, so through all this, i ended up stuck in twrp with no OS, and for some reason the ADB sideload feature didnt work so i couldnt push a .zip to the phone. after an hour and a half of frantically searching, i just decided to run the .11 official RUU, so after 14 hours, im back to where i started. Wayyyyy more trouble than its worth. just gonna flash a stock rooted 4.3 GPE rom, and when HTC and T-Mobile decide to stop screwing around and push the 4.2.2 update, ill just reflash the RUU.
Thanks for all the help, gents.

Dude, you were doing some serious stuff to your phone, you have to slow down a little. I recommend reading as much as you can before you attempt anything you just did. The reason I am saying this is that, when flashing firmware, the progress bar always sticks at about 75%, that is normal, then you reboot and it finishes the install. You probably got that firmware from the OTA you're talking about installed and didn't know it.

I let it reboot completely about 5 times, and checked the fw version each time. i promise you i didnt get it. I know the bar hanging on the OTA is normal, i had plenty of learning experience with that on the One V
howdy everyone,
So I am on TD 8.0, elemental 3.4, s-offed etc. I'm having a peculiar issue with the phone not charging unless i reboot it several times or boot into recovery. I have tried restoring etc but to no avail. It all appeared to start when I went from Stock+GE to TD8.0 but had a failed flash report in twrp after successful aroma install. after td failed to install I was having bootloops along with no charging, but was able to regain control by redownloading and reflashing. i've wiped everything multiple times and have reflashed and restored. it seems to happen if the phone has been charged several times without a reboot. any thoughts? doesn't seem like hardware as TWRP always will show charging.
thanks team

I have read about this a couple of times, it seems the only resolution is to revert back to 100% stock and then start the process of unlocking the bootloader/S Off etc again
drats, i was afraid of hearing that... thanks for the reply

so i'm back in the US and am seeking to return to stock and start fresh. since the phone is bugging out i can't get it to connect via usb unless i'm in the bootloader.... any way to pull files etc? this is such a headache and i'm so jetlagged. time for a beer.
scratch that. i could get the files via airdroid, even if it takes an age and multiple shutdowns and charges... the phone now will only charge if i hard reset a few times.... otherwise, it will nearly always charge if i'm plugged in and reboot to twrp...
What is the easiest way to revert to stock without stopping me from regaining s-off etc? sorry to be asking a newbish spoonfeeding question, just want to make sure i'm not buggering my baby. I'm considering attempting to flash the new base in the form of TD10, but unsure if that'd even help. just seems the problem is deeper than that... weird.
Here is the lowdown of what I have currently.
CID- 11111111
Hboot- 1.54.0000
Radio- 4A.17.3250.14
OpenDSP- v31.120.274.0617
os 2.24.401.1
emmc boot 2048mb
td8 build # 2.19.401.1
It's just such a strange problem. sometimes I can reboot several times and it will charge. if i reboot into twrp while plugged in it will charge. I cannot connect USB storage at all, and can only access the storage from a pc using WIfi. It seems fastboot sees the comp as well, though i've yet to try commands here...
any help would be greatly appreciated. If i have to return to stock, so be it, I just want to make sure i do it correctly and am able to get back on board with custom roms.
thanks everyone, sorry to newb up the board.

ps, the phone also frequently enters car mode for no reason. frequently being twice a minute until i froze the app. it will also say the charger isn't supported even when i've not had it plugged in for hours or on that boot cycle. wonder if fastcharge had something to do with it? also keeps saying su binary out of date, even when i accept the update. and it daydreams sporadically during use (don't we all)
I'm having a similar issue which started when I was on elemental kernel and flashed bulletproof kernel to try it out but the problem didn't occur until I flashed back to elemental.

No, At this point I'm just hoping to find a way to revert back to 100% stock to see if that does anything even though I've read of other people with this issue on stock, never rooted/rom'd HTC One's
Returning to stock won't help buddy, I've literally got my phone back today as I had to send it off for repair, but HTC had to replace my device under warranty because it was a faulty handset. Send it off for repair dude.

I actually got my warranty replacement in the mail today but I still need to return it to stock before I send this one back. You are correct though, nothing I have done, including returning it to stock has made any difference.
i'm having the same issue here, returning to stock didn't fix a thing. now i am just trying to remove the UNLOCKED flag from the bootloader. I flashed my RUU etc, but since the phone can't connect via usb when booted, ADB won't work. I can fastboot etc, but how can i remove the unlock flag via REVONE without adb? can i do it just through fastboot? any help would be greatly appreciated
I just got my phone back from the repair centre and they had to replace the device completely. Jeez! Not having a smartphone really puts you in the dark ages lol
