Hello community!!
I'm new to the HTC/Incredible S world, I have a rooted/cfw LG P500 and now I bought this great phone. Problem is that I updated it to the last official version before this try.
So I went to the official site and I followed successfully the HTC site steps to unlock the bootloader (golden card?) and now I'm trying to follow the guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1385084
But I have some problems.
First of all clearly the revolutionary program doesn't work (HBOOT 2.0).
I booted to the bootloader (power+volume down) and I had the error "main version is older" then I copied on the SD card the file for the recovery PG32IMG_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_KT_KR_2.32.1010.1_Radio_20.2810.30.085AU_3805.06.03.16_M_release_199684_signed.zip, I renamed it PG32IMG.zip, it loads it but when I press recovery it gives me an allert icon (the phone with a red triangle + red "!" ) and it does nothing.
I installed the SuperUser app like it is written in the post but when I type SU under the adb shell and it gives me "permission denied".
What could I do?
Is it even possible to downgrade it to a rootable/customable version?
If someone write a guide for rooting with the last update installed from original s-on step to step will be very util and a lot of people will be gratefull!

Bootloader unlock and goldcard are 2 seperate things. Bootloader unlock is required at the moment for flashing recovery and superuser for rooting the phone.
Gold card is required for flashing another carriers rom.
Read this thread about recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1104765
After that you can enter recovery mode and flash a superuser zip file http://goo-inside.me/superuser/
My guide should be able to downgrade your rom and get s-off after that (if after researching you decide you require it) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1373697
Hope this helps
Thanks, I'm going to try this as soon as I can, I'll write back the results
edit:
It seems like I can't even pass the first step, the 4EXT Recovery Updater doesn't work, it crushes at EVERY menu item....
(I waited 5+minutes and I had the internet connection on).
I checked and the boot loader says "unlocked". Notice that my device is, of course, NOT rooted (at least for what I know for "rooted", it is still unlocked by the HTC official method)....
you need root to use the recovery updater.
download the recovery image and flash it in fastboot
Thanks it is finally working!!
I totally forgot that you flash with fastboot via windows console, not within the bootloader....
I hope to finally install something tonight, I'll post some news later.
Thanks again!
edit:
Nothing..I went successfully to the RUU downgrade part but that doesn't work, I tried from the normal system and it blocked because of the hboot version, then I tried within the phone fastboot phase and it blocked again, giving the security failed error...

Hi!
I have successfully rooted my phone on the last update 2.3.5
The steps I made:
1. Going to htcdev and unlocked the bootloader
2. Flashed a recovery image from clockworkmod.com
3. Installed SuperUser from clockworkmod.com using recovery
I collected the information from a few threads here and had no problem.
I didn't tested custom roms, all I wanted was to root and worked just fine.
I can detail my steps if someone need it.
edit:
It seems I cannot post the images, too noob ....
Anyway:
I had a photo of the phone in the custom recovery mode, another of the phone with the 4EXT recovery successfully flashing his recovery, another of the script of your post running with this message:
(no errors)
Do you have an unlocked bootloader from htcdev.com (I have)
y OR n:y
<waiting for device>
...
(bootloader) Lock successfully..
FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))
finished. total time: 0.239s
Note: run the RUU in fastboot mode
If all steps etc etc
Now if I try to run RUU NOT in fastboot mode I receive the message:
The Utility of ROM udating can't update the Android device.
Take a valid ROM updating Utility and try again
(I'm translating from Italian)
If I try to go to fastboot after running the script I need to go to hboot using volume down+power since you can go to fastboot only through bootloader and HIS first step is to check the bootloader file (am I right?)
so, since it is again LOCKED the custom boot file I was using PG32IMG_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_KT_KR_2.32.1010.1_Radio_20.2810.30.085AU_3805.06.03.16_M_release_199684_signed
doesn't work anymore and the old one neither so I have to unlock it again and it goes the loop......
So this is the situation, I hope I will be able to post some image soon...

Thanks, I did too the 3 steps, rooting my device successfully...
But I think I need to do a total S-OFF (deeper than the HTC one) to use the CFWs.
It should be like: follow the above 3 steps and:
4. use some script/console command to prepair the device
5. DOWNGRADE it to 2.2 or something
6. use the "revolutionary" Utility to S-OFF permanently
7. flash the ROMS from the recovery
I cannot pass the 4th step.

OK, I thought you only wanted to root.
Thank you anyway
You don't need s-off for CFW's, just the unlocked bootloader. I cannot help you any further until I see screenshots as I'm getting lost in your descriptions. Ctrl prtscrn, paste in paint.
Well, I have the screenshots but I can't post web links in the forum (new user).
Let's see if I can flash some cfw in the mean time
Now I can post

After you flash a custom ROM in recovery, you have one last step to do to prevent the hang. You extract the boot.img file from the ROM's zip file and then manually flash it in FASTBOOT mode on the phone:
FASTBOOT flash boot [path to boot.img]
That totally solved the problem
Thank you ALL!!!

Hi,
Please list the methods you use from the start. I have also 2.3.5 and hboot 2.0. cant manage to downgrade, i always getting an error.
Thanks
htc developer site -> unlock bootloader
find and download this file:
PG32IMG_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_KT_KR_2.32.1010.1_Radio _20.2810.30.085AU_3805.06.03.16_M_release_199684_s igned.zip
copy it on the sd card and renamto to pg32IMG.zip
reboot in power+volume down mode
go in fastboot
from your pc use fastboot to flash this recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1104765
copy to sd card the superuser file:
http://goo-inside.me/superuser/
enter recovery mode and flash the zip
Then if u want to flash a custom rom you dont need to downgrade, just copy the zip into the sd card, flash it, copy on the sd card the boot.img you find inside the rom zip file and reboot in fastboot (power+volume down)
FASTBOOT flash boot [path to boot.img]
and reboot and the job is done!
...guys I was looking around, but couldn't find answer for my little problem. I have rooted HTC One, but rom is stock (didn't plan to change it at all just needed root), but the problem is today a new update came up, and when I tried to install it, it simple didn't do anything.
I go on Install now, phone restarts in recovery mode, then it gives me Installation aborted, and I have 3 thingies, - No; - Yes - Disable recovery flash: - +++++Go Back+++++
Whatever I choose, it just restarts and asks again for same recovery. What shall I do?
In console stands this:
ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.3.4

...ah, I knew it. I presume that stock recovery can't be flashed from custom recovery.
So I need to flash stock recovery, then to lock bootloader, and then I guess I'm good to go!?!
Can I flash it from custom recovery, or do I need to flash it differently? Anyone has link for it, or are all stock recoveries same (I mean from different providers)?
Thanks
You need to install stock recovery using fastboot command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

Install stock recovery like I said above, once done type the following :- "fastboot oem lock"
You should be good to go then for the update. Re-locking your bootloader doesn't wipe your files either, only unlocking wipes the internal storage.
...OK, so here is what I did. From ADB restored the original recovery.img, then lock bootloader, and viola. Thanks guys for helping me out.
Cheers...
Edit: ...I forgot to uninstall SuperSU, and now I have a shortcut in apps and it cannot be removed. When I run it, phone says: "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a Problem!" ...lolz me, what to do?

What is all this about S-Off and HTCDev ... You unlock your bootloader through HTCDev, S-Off is NOT something that can be done any other way than Revone and Moonshine and NOT on Hboot 1.54 ... Yet.
I've seen several people mention S-Off and HTCDev in the same breath and I think some of you are getting it all mixed up. Unlocking the bootloader and going S-Off are not the same thing and only unlocking the bootloader can be done through the HTCDev website.
I'm pretty sure HTC aren't going to help you remove the security from your device.
I stand corrected you are correct I had soff before that's why I guess it wasn't reset after update
Sent from inside the T.A.R.D.I.S
Original recovery and lock oem doesn't help.
Lads,
Would someone give me a hand here please.
There is a major update for HTC One.
I've flashed original recovery and locked back the phone.
Now it's downloading the update, then goes into reboot and opens fastboot bootloader, instead of installing the update.
What am i doing wrong here?
Thanks in advances
Hi,
I have the same problem as OP.
However the instructions in the replies are terribly confusing, I don't even know where to start!
Someone could do a step-by-step summary for less expert (or just android-retarded) people ?
Thanks a lot!
further to my post above
You need to be on stock recovery. Figure that out and you should be good.
Looking at the various guides somehow related to stock recovery doesn't make sense to me.
There's too many things I am not aware of such as how to flash the stock recovery, if the process will wipe all data, what is a fastboot command etc. etc. Has anybody ever created an easy guide to assess the problem?

For the sake of common knowledge and in case it may help other unknowing people like me, I'll post what I did here:
I sort of mixed these two guides: this one and this.
Premise:
A. It was impossible to make this whole thing run on my Win8.1 x64 computer. It would never recognize my Fastboot USB device plugged in. I had to use bloody WINXP x86 on my old-ass netbook....
B. Somehow I still had my fastboot/adb compiled folder that I used back in time to root my HTC at first.
C. My phone was Tampered, Unlocked, with HBOOT (i think 1.44 ?) and most definitely S-OFF I would say ? Still don't know for sure.
D. I updated from 4.1.2 through 4.2 to 4.3.
At the 4.2 upgrade the phone went on black screen twice (1st time at ~25%, and 2nd time after 100% was complete). Panic is useless in that case. I went to the bathroom, blasted the strongest lights I had and exposing the phone to the lights, I pressed the power button til the capacitative buttons blinked. After a while the phone rebooted and resumed exactly from the point it blacked out before.
The update to 4.3 went smooth as oil instead.
This is each step I did, following the quoted guides above:
1. Extract the stock recovery file (should be .img) that can be found in the OTA update firmware.zip file, in the firmware package (in some other thread it's explained the path of this file). Place the file in the folder with your fastboot commands.
2. Make sure fastboot and USB Debugging are unchecked on your phone in power settings>fastboot.
3. Power down phone by holding power button and pressing shut down.
4. Once phone is shut down, power phone into bootloader by holding volume down button and pressing power button.
5. Once in the bootloader navigate until it says fastboot usb (must have phone connected to computer).
6. Open up a command prompt where your fastboot commands are located.
7. Type the following with the filename of the stock recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <filename>
8. Navigate in the bootloader menu to the reboot option to restart your phone.
9. Download the latest SuperSU and place it on your sdcard.
10. Perform the OTA update normally.
11. Once it finishes installing, power down the phone like before and get back to fastboot usb.
12. Flash back the custom recovery using fastboot (I used latest CWM available):
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <filename>
or
Code:
fastboot flash zip <recovery>.zip
13. Then type :
Code:
fastboot reboot
14. Enter recovery by navigating with the volume buttons. Once in recovery, flash the zip of the SuperSU file you previously downloaded.
15. Restart once flashing is complete.

Download the 2.6.3.3 version of TWRP, rename the file to recovery, place the .img file in the folder on your PC where ADB is located and then flash in fastboot with fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. After that command completes, run fastboot erase cache. Then you can copy the ARHD 81 .zip to your phone and flash away.
after that i have tried:
So now you probably have screwed your partitions flashing an incompatible rom and recovery to your phone. Flash a twrp version for Sprint variant and then format data and flash a Custom rom compatible with Sprint phones (M7WLS)

Sprint_Eragon_V_54.0.0.zip

and they all have same issue.
installation went well. on first boot rom went to lock screen. after unlocking only white screen occurs with green htc logo.
after that dialer app reports crushing

You should RUU and get everything working the way it should again.
Then flash a rom from the Sprint section.

NOTE: Read the threads, the instructions I'm giving you are just for you to gauge the difficulty of this task, to see if you can do it. Don't follow my instructions! Read the threads!
Read this first.
Then get this firmware.zip and put it in your adb/fastboot folder
source
reboot into fastboot mode with:
adb reboot bootloader
unless you don't have ADB, which you probably don't because you dun goofed when you flashed an Int'l ROM. In which case just press and hold power + vol down and pray.
once you're in fastboot mode, check to see if your device is recognized (may have to do this as root user in linux):
fastboot devices
This should list your device. If nothing comes up, check back here.
Now we're gonna lock your bootloader because RUU fails on unlocked bootloaders (security reasons). Skip this if you're S-Off (you shouldn't be, that's for advanced users).
fastboot oem lock
Now you're gonna go into RUU mode, which lets you modify all partitions of the phone (because you won't be in one):
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Now, we're going to flash the stock image to all the partitions of your device. This is the step that will undo your mistake!
fastboot flash zip firmware_version.zip
NOTE: Change the name of firmware_version.zip to whatever you download from above. If you get an error saying "flush again immdeiately," flash again immediately; just put in the exact same command.
Done. Just finalize with this:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
And then unplug and redo your entire root/ROM process from there.
Hopefully this mini guide will give you an idea of whether you'll need further help. @BD619 is a great fellow to ask.
thank you. you are a life saver. my phone is alive
iv unlocked the bootloader. what do i have to do now install custom rom?

[OTA] Firmware 4.16.401.13 + NoRedText HBOOT + TWRP 2.8.7.0 Recovery
http://www.mediafire.com/download/kl2fmdpq4882ji8/Firmware_4.16.401.13_%2B_NoRedText_%2B_TWRP_2.8.7.0.zip
Instructions to flash:
1. Download the file (rename the file if you want as its long *sorry*)
2. Put the zip file donwloaded in your fastboot folder - example mine is C:\adb
3. Boot your M8 into the bootloader, make sure its on fastboot usb mode
4. CMD: fastboot oem rebootRUU
4.b fastboot flash zip *name of the zip file* (or you can drag it from your fastboot folder to CMD screen also works)
5. If it says something like reflash immediately just redo step 4.b its fine
6. After its successful type on your CMD: fastboot reboot-bootloader
7. On bootloader you should now see its 4.16.401.13
good work man
Is this really the whole firmware? The last firmware i flashed, contains 19 image files ^^ What about radio adsp etc.?
Btw i think you wanted to write:
"5. If it says something like reflash immediately just redo step 4.b its fine"

Thanks for seeing that mistake mate, as for the firmware I should have put its an OTA to 4.16.401.13 *sorry my bad*
I seen people asking how to update to 4.16.401.13 so I made this zip for another thread, therefore I thought I'd make a thread to help people out.
I will get the name fixed so it doesn't mislead people.
Thanks
After flashing this firmware I was unable to launch the TWRP. The message Entering recovery... was displayed and then the FastBoot was launched. The solution to the problem was to apply the SuperCID.

Before my CID was: HTC__032
Now I'm using TWRP 2.8.7.0 which is included in the archive. I was using the same TWRP version before the firmware upgrade with no problems.
Would it be possible to make this firmware update into an img file? I have tried fastboot flashing but it keeps failing. Thanks.
Is this for any particular variant of the M8? (TMobile, VZW, etc)
Or is it for any one?

Great thead
Team SkyDragon loving
There is an issue with firmware update 4.16.401.13 and twrp 2.8.7.0. In fact latest version of twrp which I was able to install (and run) was 2.8.1.0. All newer versions of twrp recovery refusing to run after install with this firmware!
I have a Verizon M8 and I keep getting:
FAILED (remote: 41 model id check fail)
ı flshed firmware. my phone is s off and super cid. but it isnt reboot now.
ı flashed arom again .phone is open bur hbot is not4.16.401
It's the version of the firmware not hboot. It should be 3.19.0.0000 if I remember well. 4.16.401.13 is almost the same as 4.16.401.10 but it should include Stagefright fix.

Can this .zip file be instaled from the SD card directly from bootloader by renaming it into 0P6BIMG?

If your phone is S-ON the ota update process must be started from Settings ---> Phone ---> About.
To manually install an ota update, your phone must be s-off, save the ota zip file at the root in your phone memory, boot the stock recovery (not twrp or cwm) version matching your firmware number. When the recovery start (red triangle) press volume up and power to enter stock recovery menu, select "apply from phone storage" and select the ota file.

yes, but in all situations, your /system partition must be 100% stock. Your cid and mid must be correct for the software version and the ota updates must be the right version (can't skip versions, it must be done incrementally).
What is your "fastboot getvar all" output? Might be easier to just flash the latest RUU instead of doing the OTA updates...

Running XenonHD which kinda supports OTA update...
I also have MultiROM installed
It just sucks having to reflash everytime there is an update

What ota files are you trying to flash (post a link)? I thought you were talking about official ota updates from HTC...

There are HTC OTA updates??
The OTA updater app just redirects you to the download page

How do you think phone manufacturers are updating their phones? With OTA updates.
Latest ota update from htc (irrc was in 2015) was 7.xx.xxx.51 (android 5.0.2 with HTC Sense 6). Any phone running an older official version than that would receive a notification to download and install the ota update, even in 2017.
Now for custom rom update, refer to your rom thread for instructions. In most cases you only need to flash the zip using twrp. If this is a major update you might need to do a full wipe...
Sorry for the confusion but usually when ppl talk about "ota updates" they are referring official HTC software (there are not that much custom roms supporting ota updates).
I used Xenon a few months ago. iirc i was just flashing the update using twrp without wiping.

Last time I flashed without wiping ,I got stuck in a bootloop

the root of your internal storage is /data/media/0 also referred as /sdcard (symlink). For example your download folder is located at /data/media/0/download (or /sdcard/download). Move your ota file one folder up (from /download to /sdcard) and you'll see it when in recovery mode by selecting 0/
